How many here are better than these liberal students. They watched the SOTU address a day before .

‎🚨 “ZERO OUT OF TEN”: College Students Caught Criticizing Trump’s State of the Union—BEFORE It Even Happened 🚨

‎In an embarrassing display of "orange man bad" reflex, several college students were caught on camera rating President Trump’s State of the Union address as a total failure. The only problem? The interview took place on Monday—and the speech isn't scheduled until tonight!

‎The Pre-Scripted Outrage 🏛️🤡

‎When asked to rate the speech on a scale of 1 to 10, students jumped to give it a "zero" or a "one." One student even claimed it was "all over the place," despite the fact that not a single word had been spoken yet.

‎Another student gave the nonexistent speech a "one" because they don't think the President is "very articulate." It seems for some, the facts don't matter as long as they get to express their dislike for 47.

‎One student claimed they "watched it for a little bit" before turning it off. This raises a big question: what exactly were they watching on a Monday night if not the speech that hadn't happened yet?

‎Out of the entire group, only one student passed the "test," correctly pointing out that the State of the Union was still a day away.

‎This is the perfect example of how deep-seated bias can completely blind people to reality. These students were so ready to hate the President's message that they didn't even realize the message hadn't been delivered. While they're busy rating a "zero" for a speech that didn't exist, the rest of the country is actually waiting to hear the President’s vision for America tonight. 🇺🇸⚖️🚫


I'll post the video once I get it.

Epstein's assistants Leslie Groff and Brice Gordon set up a much anticipated trip for John Christensen so that he could visit both Zorro Ranch in New Mexico as well as Epstein's private island Little St James.

Christensen was desperate to ingratiate himself with Epstein for some reason, and even tried to flaunt his position as Celine Dion's property manager by offering off-the-record tours of her beachfront Florida estate on Jupiter Island (only to be promptly fired in for doing so in November 2014 which led him to beg Epstein for a job).

Source: https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%209/EFTA00368983.pdf


Of all the released documents I have not seen the FBI FD-302s of Epstein's assistants. They were the operations managers
Four of them were deemed as co conspirators .
There should at least be something where they were questioned .
I've seen the Florida's home Butlers grand jury testimony though.
I've also seen something from a driver who used to pick and drop kids to the residence.

Everything about Epstein reeks of a cover up by the FBI and DOJ Collecting evidence then sitting on it. When questioned, " The FBI policy is not to comment on anything under investigation".
A judge determined that victims civil rights were violated by the plea deal of 2008 in 2019. The lawsuit took 11 years before being determined. The victims sued ,as expected the DOJ actively opposed the lawsuit.

Obrigardo keep looking for Trump. I wish you the best

So you saying yes right?
Your only concern is Trump when there are stories of babies being eaten, placentas and babies being stolen at birth, bodies being buried, girls being abused, banks abetting his Human trafficking network, t*rture, etc.

Every crime in horror movies seems to have been committed by Epstein and his cabal
Yet you are fretting that the FBI which was running a cover up for Epstein interviewed someone 4 times. Why didn't they leak at the very least?
FBI have been sued by artist Farmer , for not acting on her 1996 report detailing Epstein crimes. They sat on it , Epstein went on to abuse thousands of victims ,someone at the FBI knew.
FBI sat on complaints the US Gymnastics team doctor,Larry Nassar was abusing the teenage competitors. They lied to their parents that the investigation was going on for 15 months as the doctor continued to abuse at least 70 children under his care.

Nothing you can tell me about FBI of yester, regarding political cases will make me believe them. It's as if the FBI ranks were filled with child molesting supporters.
In 1996 they were told he had CCTV footage , where are the videos of those who entered his house at least .
Why is New Mexico now investigating his ranch , which FBI didn't raid.
The FBI released emails about 6 storage units filled with materials just before Epstein arrrst, why didn't they raid and produce what's in there.

This is going to be an Ugly midterms. Trump is going to throw out all stops because if the Dems win and control the House or Senate the can open investigation and get a subpoena for the documents.
Why didn't Obama or Biden release the documents.
In all your Epstein postings and comments how many have not involved Trump.

Very interesting that you posted pics of one individual behaving calm and dignified in comparison with one acting borderline deranged.
50 states and several territories vs one state. Do the math and logic.
It's not that I'm supporting him being there on federal funds , if he wasn't on holiday. FBI definitely had a huge role on the security and threat analysis of the winter Olympics. So I don't know whether he went to visit the fruits of his handwork.
The left attacks everything he does , often , making it seem he only went there to get drunk with his girlfriend aboard FBI private jet. The left give me no reason to think anything from it is rational .
You and Ijebos are not helping at all, maybe you could start by posting what else he went to do there for a start.

Maria Farmer reported Epstein to the FBI on September 3, 1996, after he and Ghislaine Maxwell allegedly held her and her sister captive at the Wexner estate in Ohio. According to the newly unsealed FBI report, her complaint included:
_Child Pornography: Epstein stole nude photos Farmer had taken of her minor sisters for her art.
_Solicitation: Epstein asked her to photograph young girls at pools for him.
Threats: Epstein threatened to "burn her house down" if she spoke out.
Surveillance: She warned the FBI that Epstein’s Manhattan home was wired with hidden cameras to record guests.
The May 2025 Lawsuit
On May 29, 2025, Farmer filed a civil lawsuit against the Department of Justice and the FBI for gross negligence.
The Argument: She alleged that the FBI’s "willful failure" to investigate her 1996 report allowed Epstein to continue trafficking hundreds of children for the next 23 years.
The Status: Filed before the government admitted the 1996 report existed, the suit aimed to force the disclosure of her records and hold the bureau accountable for its inaction.
December 2025 Vindication
Farmer’s "vindication" came on December 19, 2025, when the DOJ was forced to release the Epstein Files under the Transparency Act.
The release included the actual 1996 FBI document she had insisted existed for 30 years.
Acknowledgment: The files proved that the FBI had classified her report as a child pornography case and then abandoned it without further investigation.
Outcome: Following this proof, Farmer stated, "They can't call me a liar anymore,


The FBi is corrupt.

Epstein had hidden stuff in 6 storage lockers
Obrigardo take note.

Private investigators found that Jeffery Epstein had six storage lockers across the United States that contained computers, documents, and video files and was tipped off before the raids!

Credit card receipts obtained by The Telegraph show regular storage payments continued until 2019, the year of his death. It amounts to 10's of thousands of dollars over the years.

The FBI never raided these storage facilities as well which is shocking, right? The payments were labeled and on credit cards.

It is also now being reported that Epstein was tipped off to the incoming raids and had time to "clean up" multiple properties.

On Aug 23 2009, Bill Riley, who worked for Epstein emailed and said “Over the weekend I learned that plaintiff’s counsel are looking to get from me the computers and paperwork I took from Jeff’s house prior to the Search Warrant. “I have them locked in storage and would like to know what to do with them."

Why did the FBI NOT raid the six storage facilities? Who tipped off Epstein to the raids? What are the chances insane files and videos were in those storage facilities?

The cover up continues.

Succinctly elucidated to a belligerent.
Add that the disciples of Jesus and early converts to Christianity who paid the most heavy price ever were Jews.

benalvino3:
Jesus personified Jerusalem, He is a Jew too, is he among those who killed the past prophets before him?
The New Testament never says "the Jews" as an entire people sentenced him; it specifies specific leaders, chief priests, and elders.

Muslims, Hindus, etc. rejected Jesus as king, so what is your point? The core rejection was of Jesus as Messiah by some leaders, but many Jews followed his disciples, the early church - are they guilty for killing Jesus?

Linking this directly to Netanyahu-like Jews of today as rejectors of Jesus is your own political analogy, not biblical teaching. The Bible doesn't predict or endorse modern Israeli leaders' actions in that way.

So, where is the same energy for Iran and Sudan?
Today, the Iranian government went to universities to target people. Where are the claims of genocide?
The energy you put into one should be replicated for the other. Because you are quick to judge us, saying we support the killing of innocent women and Children when all we are doing is to bring nuance to the realities of WAR. Before the war started, I asked the weak not to start a war because they couldn't defend themselves. This was my concern all along. But when the war started, it had started. What were the requirements for the war to end? Were the weak working toward that?

The wars God led people like King David to fight had casualties, too.

Even when it comes to Renee Good, your outrage is not consistent. It seems like your outrage is based on what is popular on the woke left.
We called for people not to endanger themselves. The ones who did and lost their lives were unfortunate, but then again, there is room to analyze if the other party is justified. Anytime you hear that, you call us wicked and say things like God will punish us. If I apply the same mentality you are using, I can simply ask you:
What if God is punishing Renee Good for what she did?
How will you answer this question?

Coco and Others where not condemning the killer of Charlie Kirk; they said he deserved it. And you did not have any strong words or accusations for them; instead, you joined them. Charlie Kirk is a right-wing figure, so his life does not have the value you put on Renee Good, right?

You never said anything strong to Tyler Robinson, who sometimes says Charlie Kirk is a vile man, and he is full of hate. Tyler Robinson sees himself as a moral king, but he is the one who took a life.



You did not reason like this when Renee Good died. This is how you view one side. It is night and day. This is why I see your outrage as selective.

Anyone who questioned why she was chasing ICE up and down gets this:

Mamdani defends the ID requirements or the snow shovelling jobs.

"Federal law requires that employers get authorization and documentation to pay people for their work. We are not allowed to just cut checks to individuals for their work,” Mamdani said.

Wow ,what a bad thing.Having to verify the identity of every cheque recipient.

basilico:

Mamdani has the following proposed Tax Increases
_2% Income Tax Surcharge on earners over $1 million.
_Corporate Tax Rate Increase (from 7.25% to 11.5%).
If Gov Hochul won't sign this tax on wealthy he resorts to plan B
_ A 9.5% Property Tax Hike on 3 million residential units and 100K commercial properties

How Mamdani plans to raise the money
_State Aid: Lobbies for billions in additional funding from New York State, arguing the city is "drained" by providing more revenue to the state than it receives back.
_Raiding Reserves: Withdrawing approximately $1.2 billion from the city’s "Rainy Day" and retiree health benefit reserve funds to balance the current budget.
_Appointing "Chief Savings Officers" at every city agency to identify bureaucratic waste and streamline operations

Why he needs the funds
_To close the Budget Deficit ($5.4 billion to $12 billion).
_For Universal Childcare (Free 2-Care and expanded 3K).
_Fare-Free City Buses.
_Increased Subway Service Frequency.
_Affordable Housing Construction (200,000 units).
_Rent Relief Programs.
_New Department of Community Safety (Non-police emergency response)



Socialism by design creates a have and have nots in society. To win an election, appeal to the poorer by offering them more livable conditions , the funds to be obtained by taxing by the well-off in the society more.

I would think the mayor should be more about promoting New York business environment , selling New York as a top tourist destination, fighting crime, etc. It's like he already decided all his pet projects are to be funded by simply taxing the rich. 2% this year, what about next year drawing on the success. Maybe 3%

[/b]Matthew 23:37-39
New International Version
37 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing. 38 Look, your house is left to you desolate. 39 For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’[a]”[b]


The Jews killed Jesus.. Natanyahu-like and pharisaic men were the ones who killed Jesus and the other prophets of old.. the Romans just only acted at the behest of the Jews. Remember how pilate washed his hands.. remember?

Back to the main discussion below:

So anyone who says Netanyahu is a criminal and that the killings of innocent women and children in Gaza is ungodly is now an antisemite?

Because thats what I have seen Tucker done in recent times..condemning the killings in Gaza..

He has not gunned down anybody.. neither has he engaged in any acts of violence or supported such against Isreal..so why is he an antisemite? So no one can or should criticize Isreals high handedness?
You think God knew the Jews would kill Jesus.
