Judge Williams reopens the Trump IRS case and it’s a bogus settlement, acting on advice from 35 former judges. This is going to be very interesting.

Williams order references Rule 11--sanctions for lawyers who commit misconduct & abuse the judicial process, which here cd include top DOJ brass. Orders Trump to file a response by 6/12 on whether the case is collusive and sh be reopened b/c of fraud. DOJ to respond by 6/19. Fasten your seat belts!!

My team uncovered that foreign enemies are targeting U.S. servicemembers in war zones by buying their location data. The threat to national security posed by data brokers has never been more clear. We need to dismantle the surveillance advertising industry.

The premise of the 2004 comedy-drama Melinda and Melinda was that any given story can be told as either a tragedy or a comedy. I submit that Carl Sagan's "Demon-Haunted World" and Mike Judge's "Idiocracy" validate that thesis.

Donald Trump is now responsible for 28% of the US national debt. That's $11 trillion. In 250 years of American history, no president has added more. That's not an opinion. It's math.

The American-led negotiations in Ukraine prolonged the war by encouraging Putin. The Russians dangled ludicrous business"deals" in front of Witkoff and Kushner who were too gullible to understand that they were being manipulated. Good to hear the US has abandoned this failed policy.

Massie's primary race has broken all spending records - a shocking $32 million due to massive spending by pro-Israel groups. And it's all about destroying a member of Congress who dared to challenge Israel & force the release of the Epstein files.

In order to stay ahead of the curve here, I'd like to note that the U.S. has no grounds to invade Cuba, arrest or change its leaders, take control or directly influence its actions or, for that matter, to be blockading it right now forcing its people to suffer. Nor is any of that in our interest.

Courtney Wild was 14 when Epstein started abusing her. While she waited for justice, the feds were negotiating a deal with Epstein's lawyers behind closed doors. She found out years later through a legal fight. The emails showed the government wasn't protecting victims. It was protecting Epstein.
