So all you care about in the Epstein file is Trump? You don’t care that it also includes Bill Gates, Michael Jackson, Bill Clinton, and others?
At least Basilico cared if Trump was involved, as well as the people he’s posting about right now. are you waiting to comment only when you see something about trump?
That's what I've said all along, democrats and the left don't care about the victims. They only want to see Trump muddied and possibly removed from power.
Epstein to democrats starts and stops with Trump.
I have read unredacted copies of the grand jury testimonies of Ghislaine ,Virginia Giuffrey, Epstein's butler, his co-pilot and a few others They exonerated Trump completely . I think I posted them here some years ago. They were redacted stupidly,pasting them to notepad removed the hidden parts.

In 2020 Fulton county in Georgia counted 315000 early mail in votes without poll workers signature.
Biden won Georgia by 11779 votes.
Trump had called George Raffensberger and told him to find 11000 votes that could be nullified. Only 11000 votes Instead the call was leaked and jack Smith plus Fani Willis criminalized the call saying the call was improper.
Still the issue of vote counting stopping at midnight , then Ruby Miss and her daughter continuing to count was ignored by courts.

Stop trying to be half smart. Our positions are clear. Is DOGE an act of congress or an executive order?
How can USDS created by an Executive Order by Obama in 2014 ,then repurposed and renamed by Trump as DOGE be an Act of Congress?

100K documents released a few hours ago and they are still looking for Trump .?

Bill Clinton with Ghislaine in a poo plus a redacted girl , Michael Jackson, Noam Chomsky etc were good friends of Epstein.

Barack Obama claims that the “mainstream news still does a very good job of just presenting facts.”

IN FACT, the mainstream news systematically reports false “facts” that advance liberal narratives. Here are 40 notable examples among hundreds:

1) Violent crime reached a 50-year low in 2023 under President Biden.

2) “Greedflation” is the reason why “grocery prices” went “through the roof” during Biden’s presidency.

3) The president “has nothing to do with the price of bacon,” “or eggs,” “or gas,” “or any of it.”

4) Donald Trump called neo-Nazis “very fine people.”

5) Donald Trump called immigrants “animals.”

6) Donald Trump threatened a “bloodbath” if he didn’t get elected.

7) President Trump teargassed peaceful protestors for a photo-op.

8 President Trump deployed the “full might of federal law enforcement to crush protests” by “Black Lives Matter” activists.

9) President Trump had a “quid pro quo” with Ukraine.

10) Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick was killed by J6 protesters.

11) JD Vance said that “school shootings are a ‘fact of life’.”

12) Obamacare will make wages “go up.”

13) Health insurance premiums will “skyrocket” unless enhanced Obamacare subsidies are extended.

14) The national debt isn’t large enough to lower economic growth.

15) Hunter Biden’s laptop is “Russian disinformation.”

16) The contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop “can’t be verified.”

17) The 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution says, “All persons born in the United States are citizens.”

18) Donald Trump killed bipartisan legislation that would have fixed the border crisis.

19) The Democrat bill to end the government shutdown contained no taxpayer-funded healthcare for illegal immigrants.

20) President Biden deported more illegal immigrants than President Trump.

21) Illegal immigrants “commit crimes at a much lower percentage than Americans do.”

22) Border barriers are an expensive and ineffective means of curbing illegal immigration.

23) President Biden presided “over a job-creation boom that would have gotten almost any of his predecessors re-elected in the postwar era.”

24) “There is little historical evidence tying regulation levels to” economic growth.

25) Masks work.

26) Less than 1% of people who died of Covid-19 in mid-2021 were fully vaccinated (while the actual figure was around 74%).

27) The “tax code isn’t progressive.”

28) Global wildlife abundance has “collapsed 69%” over the “past 50 years.”

29) The neighborhood watch volunteer who shot Trayvon Martin told 911, “This guy looks like he’s up to no good. He looks black.”

30) Michael Brown held his hands up and said “Don’t shoot” before he was gunned down by a police officer.

31) “Black people suffer disproportionately from police brutality.”

32) “Black and Hispanic home buyers” “tend to pay higher interest rates than whites with similar credit ratings.”

33) “Virtually no evidence” of illegal voting by non-citizens “has been discovered.”

34) Global warming turned the North Pole “into a lake.”

35) Global warming has caused “an intensification of rainstorms.”

36) “The climate crisis is not a distant threat; it’s happening right now and affecting what matters most to us. Hurricanes intensified by a warming planet and drought-fueled wildfires are destroying our communities. Rising seas and flooding are swallowing our homes. And record-breaking heat waves are reshaping our way of life.

37) Late-term abortions “mostly often involve severely troubled pregnancies that pose risks to a woman’s health or life.”

38) Democrats don’t support “an unfettered right to terminate pregnancies up until the point of birth.”

39) “Medical evidence does not support” the idea that “an unborn child is capable of experiencing pain at least by 20 weeks after fertilization.”

40) Public schools “tend to have less money” than private schools.

You must be a compound (Mu)²

So in your mind when I condemn, for example gun violence in its entirety or the extra judicial killing of innocent people then that means I am now in close undying association with an individual or individuals somewhere? To the extent that i become an autobot ready to defend whatever those individuals do or say. I have my own principles, and if some of the supposed democratic ideologies align with them, then no problem.

You must think sensible folks are human worshippers like yourself. You are in a dire state Mr man.. youre a pitiful sycophant and a 🤡

Shame has left you.
Everyone condemns gun violence , and taking away guns from people used to a 2nd Amendment clause in the constitution will never happen The left wants no opposition , guns are one thing that prevents them going the Stalin way.
When it comes to Christianity, the left will never achieve their utopia as long as there is a christian majority . Hence their clamouring for immigrants by all means.
Korea Japan , China , Poland have seen tremendous growths without importing immigrants from every shithole. Spare me the chorus that immigrants are a must to grow an economy or boost population replacement numbers. When they promote state funded abortions and worry about low birth rates.
As regards Venezuela narco boats Schuck Schumer had a bill that greenlit blowing them up.I posted Fetterman comments after being briefed on the intelligence behind sinking a single boat.

When it serves to muddy Trump the left chokes on their own vomit.

🚨 HEARTBREAKING — AND COURAGEOUS 🚨

A third-grade girl in California stood at the podium — so small she could barely see over it — and calmly explained why her school eliminating girls’ bathrooms is wrong.

And what she said should stop everyone cold.

[Girl]: I'm a third grader at Herbert Hoover Elementary School, and I do not like that we have to share a bathroom with boys. At Hoover, a boy has punched me in the stomach and spit on me. I really do not feel comfortable in an all-gender restroom. When I come to the bathroom, I do not like that there is pee on the seats and toilet paper on the ground. It feels very uncomfortable. I was at Hoover in previous years, and on the seats and no toilet paper on the ground. It was cleaner and more sanitary. My friends and I do not like that there are boys in the bathroom. Some of my friends and I try not to go to the bathroom when they have to. There should be girls, boys, and all-gender restrooms.

[Official 1]: I can ask that staff will make sure that the bathrooms are cleaned in the new construction, and I’m sure staff will make sure that there are procedures in place to make sure the bathrooms are clean.

[Official 2]: I think that’s a fine comment to make, and I visited the school today and went over that with Principal Menu, who is absolutely on top of it.

Talking about immigration and crime,rape in this case , this one should wake you up from your deep stupor

#news Poland has Europe's lowest r*pe rate because they have the strictest requirements on immigration from non-European countries, according to officials
#poland
Experts say Poland's low reported r*pe rate is directly tied to their strict immigration policies - while other countries with high r*pe rates allow unchecked migration from M*slim majority countries.
#muslim
Reported rape incidents per 100,000:

Poland: 1.3 - broader "sexual violence" reports are about 10 per 100,000

Austria: 25.5 - broader "sexual violence" reports are about 100 per 100,000

Norway: 42.1 - broader "sexual violence" reports are about 200 per 100,000

Scotland 53 - broader "sexual violence" reports are about 275 per 100,000

France: 62.7 - broader "sexual violence" reports are about 150 per 100,000

Northern Ireland 63 - broader "sexual violence" reports are about 215 per 100,000

Sweden: 84.4 - broader "sexual violence" categories are more than 200–250 per 100,000.

England & Wales 119 - broader "sexual violence" reports are about 315 per 100,000 (One of the highest globally)

Throughout 2021-2025, Poland had strict border controls and restrictive asylum policies for non-EU migrants, especially for those arriving via the Belarus border route often used by migrants from Middle Eastern and African countries.

They suspended asylum claims, reinforced barriers, and didn't grant entry to migrants from M*slim-majority nations.

Poland's M*slim population is one of the smallest in Europe at about 0.1% of total population - and those are not from recent migration but are historical communities with little growth.
#ChristinaAguayoNews
On the flip side the other countries allowed unchecked migration between 2021 and 2025, with migrants mostly coming from Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Somalia, and Iran—predominantly M*slim-majority countries— vastly increasing the number of M*slim communities.
#iraq
Austria:
Allowed tens of thousands of asylum seekers in each year, with significant numbers from Syria and Afghanistan.
M*slim population estimated at about 800,000 - 9% of the population.
#austria
Norway:
Accepted many asylum seekers from key groups including Pakistanis, Somalis, Iraqis, and Syrians.
#norway
M*slim population around 300,000 - or 6% of the population

France:
Among Europe's highest receivers, with over 160,000 each year, including many from North African Arab countries and sub-Saharan regions alongside Syrians.
#france
M*slim population about 6 million - or 10%.

Sweden:
Asylum intakes of tens of thousands each year, primarily from Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Somalia.
#sweden

England: Almost 100,000 taken in each year, from Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Syria, and Eritrea.

Why dont they face that ?
Like you cant see anything wrong. She gets her lover an ambulance chaser to investigate a RICO. Paid him $250 an hour , hires 2 more lawyers with Rico exposure. Pays them less initially.

They spend the windfall on cruise ships etc using his business credit card . She lies she refunded him in cash ,which she keeps in her house.

The guy decides to ensnare as many people so that the trials can last longer .

The RICO charge was that Trump and associates got "fake electors". A judge last week ruled there is nothing wrong with protesting an election and the cases have been dismissed in entirety.The judge has allowed all those Fani charged to be legally able to claim refunds for attorney fees from the budget of Fani Willis office.
The cases she brought were just political, shambolic ill thought and should be regarded as a Conspiracy against the rights of Trump and his coaccused.

Many thanks Bas for sharing this info. I can never understand the cruelty, the hate and evil that drives people to think about changing the biological details that defines a child at such an early stage in their lives. I wept bitterly many times when I read how far demonic forces backed by cruel people - in both parties, left or right, have gone to inflict unimaginable pain on humans!

I am reading on The Hill right now that the bill passed in the House may not scale through at the Senate though - since it will be difficult for it to garner the required 60 votes needed to go through.

Oh Lord come, it is enough. Take us away from this cursed and evil world!
The left wants to uppend the society where what was abnormal is now normal. I'm of the opinion they want the society broken up into tiny little pieces , They are for breaking up families , having mixed races . They fear a christian society that will close ranks on most issues . They want gay marriages recognized , which they got but plan their weddings in church and force christian bakers to make gay themed wedding cakes.
As for children , I think it's more or less legalizing paedophilia. A 12/13 kid should be thinking of finishing school , not how his/ her new looks are drawing admiration from the left. This makes that child sexually active and attracted to "compassionate" adults hiding behind their paedophilia.
If you can change your gender it also means you can change your age and get to abuse children. Age becomes just a number that has nothing to do with your feelings of attraction.

What was she thinking.

basilico:
The brutal animal who was freed by a very "compassionate" judge.

Bondi Vows to Prosecute Judges Who Obstruct Trump Admin’s Deportation Efforts

She emphasized that these judges would face prosecution for their involvement.
Pam Bondi explained that the defendant, who was in court facing charges for domestic violence, had been involved in a violent attack on two individuals, as Breitbart News reported.

The victims were severely beaten—one man was hit 30 times, choked, and knocked to the ground, while the woman sustained severe injuries, requiring hospitalization.

Despite the brutality of the crimes, the victims were willing to cooperate with the state prosecutor, and they were present in the courtroom during the proceedings.

However, the case took a disturbing turn when the judge learned that ICE officers were outside the courthouse, waiting to detain the defendant, who had been deported in 2013 and returned illegally.

Upon hearing this, Judge Dugan allegedly left the courtroom, went into the hallway, and confronted the immigration officers, visibly upset.

She then instructed them to leave and meet with the chief judge, returning to the courtroom afterward....judge took the defendant and his defense attorney aside, using a private exit to allow them to leave, effectively allowing the criminal to evade ICE arrest, leaving the victims and the prosecutor behind.

Her bill banning transition surgeries on minors passed the house 216-211 yesterday.

Bill makes it criminal to “knowingly perform, or attempt to perform, genital or bodily mutilation on another person who is a minor” with penalties of up to ten years in prison. It further protects minors from chemical castration or hormonal treatments.
Parents who facilitate, consent to, or transport the minor to receive sex change surgeries could also be charged.

Brain development in children is not considered complete until around 18 years,that's why they are not allowed to drive,buy drinks ,vote or have sex etc. Children decisions are mainly influenced by the surroundings ,,family,school and peer .

#news Fast Fact: Biden's FBI hid data showing armed civilians stopped almost 50% of all criminal shooters in 2024 - recording 0% instead, according to a research group
#FBI
A prominent research group has revealed that the Biden FBI systematically underreported the role legal gun owners had in stopping active shooters between 2021 and 2024, saying the bureau hid the data for political reasons.

The Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC), released an analysis showing massive 'errors' in FBI active shooter reports from 2021 to 2024.
#guns
The report highlights a large discrepancy for 2024 specifically, showing that armed citizens stopped nearly half of all qualifying incidents while the FBI credited them with stopping none.

By the numbers:

2021
Biden FBI: armed citizens credited with stopping about 4-5%
CPRC: Armed citizens stopped at least 49.1% of incidents

2022
Biden FBI: armed citizens credited with stopping 3 total
CPRC: Armed citizens stopped at least 41.3% of incidents

2023
Biden FBI: armed citizens credited with stopping 0%
CPRC: Armed citizens stopped about 30-35%

2024
Biden FBI: armed citizens credited with stopping 0%
CPRC: Armed citizens stopped 47.8%-62.5% of incidents (higher figure when excluding gun-free zones)

😂🔥 TRUMP PULLS THE ULTIMATE MEDIA HEAD FAKE — AND THEY FELL FOR IT

President Trump just executed the mother of all trolls — and the media walked straight into it.

Using Tucker Carlson, knowingly or unknowingly, to float the idea that a war with Venezuela was imminent, Trump sent every major network into full panic mode.

What happened next?

They cleared prime-time coverage.
They went wall-to-wall.
They tuned in tens of millions of Americans.

And instead of war?

Trump delivered a full recap of his first-year accomplishments, calmly, confidently — in front of Christmas decorations no less. 🎄😂

Absolute chess.

He also told Americans something the media hates admitting:
👉 Illegal aliens were draining THEIR hard-earned tax dollars

No spin. No apology. Just facts.

The result?
• The media did his distribution for him
• His message reached everyone
• And the panic narrative collapsed in real time

Love him or hate him, one thing is undeniable:

Trump is the undisputed king of political trolling — and arguably the most effective media manipulator to ever sit in the Oval Office.

They never see it coming.
And they never learn.

I have not seen in my life where folks cant condemn what is actually killing them. Its sickening.
America has a gun couture. Around 45-50% of homes have a firearm. Per 100 people there are 120 guns. Many Americans will have more than 5 guns in a home. Some 1% are gun collectors.

Number 2 is Serbia. 39.1 guns per 100 residents.
Montenegro has at least 26% of homes owning firearms.

The vast majority of Americans are responsible owners . They will never give up their guns . If taking away their guns will result in no gun deaths because of a few mass shooters, then it can be argued that deporting Muslims will eliminate terrorism.
Some posters here based in America do own guns and they are responsible citizens .

Residents got a free energy audit and their choice of one or more of the following new electric, energy-efficient upgrades:
_An HVAC heat pump
_A heat pump water heater
_An induction range/stove
Additionally, homes underwent weatherization to seal doors and windows and improve insulation, further enhancing energy efficiency. About 75% of the 116 homes in the community participated and received these upgrades.


Program successful. One resident halves her power bill.

So Staceys other affiliate non Profit Powering Forward Communities goes to EPA and lands a $2 Billion funding to replicate the project in April 2024. By the time Trump comes to power ,EPA has not disbursed over $20 billion ,they hide the money in a private bank and hope to dole out as much as they can before the evil Trump closes the taps

Turns out that Stacey Abrams who despite denying influencing the $2B funding actually received some $5 million .This Power Forward outfit was a conduit for money to other non profits paying off huge salaries and expenses.

Since when did govt get into the business of buying electrical appliances to residents months to an election?
Another reason why I call climate change a scam. To skim off money and micromanage the serfs.

It gets better.
When Trump DOGE cancels the funds ,Judge Chutkan orders that EPA be allowed to disburse those climate funds in March 2025. A federal appeals court overruled her in September 2025.

Judge Chutkan is the one who was dying to prosecute Trump weeks to election and only stopped the trial after Trump won, putting the case on hold until he leaves office. This is despite Jack Smith appointment as Special Counsel being declared void and his cases in Florida terminated permanently.

Epstein files are due to be released by Friday.
The visitors ,especially the repeat visitors should explain what they were upto.
I think I read somewhere Epstein inviting Elon Musk to his island, an offer that was declined. It naturally means there are probably people who went to the island not to abuse girls but to unwind in an unremarkable island.
This list of visitors is likely fraudulent to a part, it has been around for several years, apparently derived from flight logs to the adjacent island.Those who virulently attack Trump are well represented .

Regarding the destruction if narco terrorists PA Senator Democrat Fetterman has sharply contradicted the democrats out to get Hegseth scalp.

Live on air, Sen. John Fetterman blew up one of the biggest myths about Trump’s Venezuela strikes after getting a private intelligence briefing, flatly rejecting the claim that the U.S. military is “randomly” attacking boats. Asked by Chris Cuomo what reassured him we’re not sliding into a wider war, Fetterman said the briefing was “pretty comprehensive” and slammed media narratives suggesting the military is “just picking off…any boat that comes across,” saying “that’s just not true.” He explained there’s “extensive intelligence,” that officials “know exactly who’s on that boat and they know what’s actually on that boat,” and added that “quite frequently they decline to take it and move on.” When action does happen, he said, it’s because they have “absolute confidence in who’s on and what’s on it,” stressing again, “they’re not just going around randomly shooting boats.”

Most democrats are shameless liars. A comment on Facebook..

This is exactly how the Democrats and republicans once operated, they agreed on many aspects, and had no problem showing support across the isle, had different ideas on policies, and one seemed to be more geared toward a certain type of government and the other had a bit different take …, but now the democrats strayed from law and government into extreme evil wickedness that should never be in government…

🚨BREAKING: This is why Ilhan Omar never faced charges for marrying her brother!
Back in 2021, hours after Minnesota GOP operative Anton Lazarro posted online DNA evidence that allegedly showed Rep. Ilhan Omar was once married to her brother, the FBI busted him!
Lazzaro was trying to contact the FBI and media, and had launched a website, to share his claims about Ilhan Omar shortly before his arrest on sex trafficking charges.

He alleged he obtained a DNA sample from a discarded cigarette and drinking straw used by Omar and her ex-husband (whom Lazzaro claimed was her brother) to "prove

The test results stated there is a 99.999998% chance that Omar and her second husband, Ahmed Elmi, now her ex-husband, are siblings, according to an analysis by British company Endeavor DNA Laboratories.

Lazzaro was scheduled to appear on Tucker Carlson's Fox News program to reveal his "bombshell evidence" on the same day he was arrested in August 2021.

In March 2023, a federal jury found him guilty of seven counts involving commercial sex acts with five girls, ages 15 and 16, in 2020. He got 22 years in jail


Media has really buried this Ilhan Omar marriage to her brother.

You want to be with trump and the shy away when he messed up. That is the foundation of the issue you have. This shows why you can't understand you can support someone and not agree with them 100% or you can support someone and criticize them. I don't understand why you make this statements like it's a contradiction.

But just so you know, "Hillary is for they them"

Abortion,
LGBTQ Issues (General): Accepts same-sex marriage as law; supports protections for gay/lesbian Americans but opposes "radical" elements; no federal promotion of LGBTQ agendas in schools.

Transgender and Gender Issues: Opposes gender ideology in schools; cuts federal funding for programs promoting it to children; keeps biological males out of women's sports; recognizes only two genders in federal policy.

Religion and Religious Freedom: Defends freedom of religion as core right; supports prayer in public schools; protects Judeo-Christian values; plans Religious Liberty Commission.

Education: Cuts funding for schools teaching CRT or gender ideology; supports school choice, homeschooling, and parental rights; aims to reclaim institutions from "radical left"; promotes vocational training and American Academy for affordable education.

Family and Children: Protects children from "inappropriate" content; opposes human trafficking with death penalty; addresses chronic childhood illnesses; supports traditional family structures implicitly through policies.

Crime and Law Enforcement: Restores law and order; death penalty for traffickers and major drug dealers; supports police funding; tough on urban crime.

Immigration: Ends birthright citizenship for children of illegals; deports criminals; builds wall; ends welfare for illegals; focuses on merit-based system.

Healthcare and Drugs: Ends drug addiction crisis; holds Big Pharma accountable; addresses chronic illnesses; opposes transgender procedures for minors; supports veteran health.

I share all this principle with trump

Vote for Gavin Newsom who will not call someone fat but destroy your family. That's the common sense thing to do.
Yesterday I kept asking them whom I should support and for what reasons
No names dropped forcing me to mention Obama and Biden.
Gov Newscum is a disaster.
Valero is taking a $1 BILLION loss just to get out of California.
The company is walking away from $1.1 billion rather than comply with Gavin Newsom’s mandates, shutting down its Benicia refinery by April 2026.
When a business chooses to lose a billion dollars instead of staying, something is fundamentally broken.
Here’s what this really means:
• Valero’s refinery processes 145,000 barrels per day
• That’s 8.6% of California’s gasoline supply — gone
• 400 workers laid off
• 200 contractors out of work
• The city of Benicia loses 17% of its entire budget
And drivers?
They’re about to get crushed.
UC Davis economists estimate:
+40¢ per gallon when Phillips 66 closes its LA refinery this December
+81¢ more when Valero shuts down in April
$1.21 per gallon increase by August 2026
That means your 15-gallon fill-up jumps from ~$70 to at least $95.
Stanford Energy Institute warns it could get even worse — potential spikes to $8 per gallon during supply disruptions.
UC Berkeley energy expert Severin Borenstein says these closures could trigger severe gasoline shortages with unprecedented price increases.
And working families will pay the bill.
