The released Jeffrey Epstein emails are slowly confirming the suspicions and theories that:

a) US investigators and two Special Counsels had enough kompromat on Dummkopf Trumpf, Jeffrey Epstein, and Ghislaine Maxwell right here in American jurisdiction, and they had no need to look for it in Russia. Robert Mueller and Jack Smith were called "Special Counsels" and given narrow ranges to investigate Dummkopf Trumpf. D/AG Rod Rosenstein assured Trumpf that Mueller was given a narrow path. That's why Rosenstein wasn't fired that fateful day when he was summoned to the Oval Office. Both Mueller and Smith were not assigned the term "Special Prosecutor" as was the case with Archibald Cox during the Watergate investigation.

b) US investigators could not expose Dummkopf Trumpf as an FBI Confidential Informant (CI) which would jeopardize his life as a "stoolie." Similarly, investigators were forced to ignore delicate findings that would expose a connection to Israel.>

c) When the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell began to expose such a connection to Israel and the Mossad, the USG blocked any release of documents and no one else was investigated as clients of Epstein and Maxwell. Those were the only two prosecuted in an ocean of names. That explains why the Biden Admin didn't release any Epstein files.

d) Initially unaware of the Mossad connection to the Epstein imbroglio, USAG Pam Bondi promised to release the files. She was the Florida AG, and unaware of the implications. Bondi was forced to backpedal when she realized that Trumpf's name was all over the Epstein files and there was a nefarious connection to Israel. Outgoing USAG Merrick Garland must have advised in-coming USAG Pam Bondi something about the Epstein files and Ghislaine Maxwell during the administration transition from Nov 2024 to Jan 2025, but she either ignored it or they both thought this was a dead issue.

For a decade the American public was brayed with "Russia Russia Russia!" to distract and deflect way from "Israel Israel Israel!"

Who did this braying?

AIPAC Democrats liked Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) and others. You know who they are.

Now we have AIPAC influencers like Alan Dershowitz and Laura Loomer who are outside Congress screaming, deflecting, and attacking those that want to release the files which would inadvertently expose the Mossad connection to Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and the "White House Windbag," and hence Marjorie Taylor-Greene is in their crosshairs.

And as you may have read in a recent commentary I penned, the eminent New York Times was aware of Jeffrey Epstein's suspicious financial dealings and special massage services before the 2016 Presidential election.

Inadvertently, Russia's brutal invasion of Ukraine provided a lot of media distraction during Israel's 2024 retribution pogrom against the Palestinians in Gaza (70,000 dead; 150,000 maimed).

"Russia! Russia! Russia!"

never seen it rain so hard in my life.

You will again. Probably.

As the atmosphere gets warmer it can hold more water. The rains and resulting floods will get bigger and bigger. As they have the last couple of years.

For each 1C increase in temperature, the atmosphere can hold about 7% more water vapor, and for every 1F increase, it can hold approximately 4% more.

Look what Japan is doing to compensate for increased flooding coming in the Future.

Incredible underground flood protection facility in Japan is one ...
Japan's most famous underground reservoir is the Metropolitan Area Outer Underground Discharge Channel (MAOUDC), also known as the G-Cans Project, located near Tokyo in Kasukabe City, Saitama Prefecture. This massive, $1 billion flood control system protects the Tokyo metropolitan area from flooding by diverting and storing excess rainwater in a cavernous underground tank supported by 59 giant pillars. It can hold 670,000 cubic meters of water, the equivalent of 268 Olympic-sized swimming pools.

And then there's this:

We wrote this to help you imagine how quickly a city can change under Trump ...
Charlotte was once a place of slow, easy mornings, coffee cups clinking in cozy cafs, jazz drifting through open doors on Tryon Street, families stepping onto the light rail with strollers and soccer bags. A city defined by banking towers and craft breweries, where weekends were measured by Panthers touchdowns, farmers' markets, and late-night debates about who served the best barbecue in town.
By this weekend, that rhythm collapsed.
Before sunrise, unmarked SUVs slid through quiet neighborhoods, and ICE agents moved in like a storm front. Residents described officers sprinting through parking lots, jumping fences behind small bakeries and mercados. Some said they watched people shoved to the ground, grocery bags splitting apart, oranges rolling into traffic, voices shaking as shouts ricocheted between brick storefronts.
A caf known for empanadas and music stayed shuttered, its metal grate pulled tight. A handwritten note hung on the door: Closed for the safety of our community. Just down the street, a weekend lunch spot told customers online: Too dangerous today. Please stay home.
Parents kept children inside. Workers who normally clocked in before dawn called their bosses in fear. City bus drivers said they saw makeshift checkpoints near major intersections, where people waited in silence, shoulders tense, eyes fixed on the ground.
The city that once celebrated diversity through food trucks, cultural parades, and church festivals found itself breathing differently doors locked, windows dark, conversations hushed. Neighbors said it didn't feel like protection; it felt like punishment. Not order, but intimidation.
Operations were no longer about safety, but about fear, fear that reached families, workers, business owners, and even those with the legal right to be here. And in the quiet between sirens, the city wondered what it was becoming.

Hit texas for the eclipse. never seen it rain so hard in my life.

Yes, our oldest son lives about 25-miles West of Houston. On one of our visits there, the night before we were to head home, it rained seven inches. Now the parking lot of the hotel was flooded, but not so that you couldn't drive out, and on our way home, many of the rivers which were virtually dry when we drove in, were full to their banks, but hadn't flowed over the highway so we weren't really inconvenienced.

And about 50-years ago, when I was on my first field assignment as an engineer, I was helping to start-up a bread line at a large commercial bakery in Fort Worth. Anyway, my boss called and they said that they needed someone to run over to Alexandria, Louisiana to mark-up a set of architectural blueprints for an older building that was going to be converted into production bakery. Anyway, on my way back, I had just crossed over into Texas from Shreveport, when it started to rain. It was the heaviest rainfall that I think that I have ever experienced. I had to pull off the side of the road and just wait it out, and I have to say, not a single car or truck passed me while I waited out the 30-minutes or so that it took for that storm to pass till where it had slowed enough that you could safely drive. If I never see rain like that again, I won't miss it. And I was in a Typhoon once that hit Tokyo where they shut the trains down. but that was mostly wind.
