      <title>Trump may drop another on Iran</title>

      <description>While all eyes look up to the sky for more bimvs to fall on Iran, another object may fall on Iran. With a 1 in 4,200 chance of falling on Iranian child or teenager, Trump will be blamed for it.</description>
      <wordzilla:extended>Iranian children would rather place in a thunderstorm with metal rods.  At least the odds of being killed are only 1 in 600,000.
&lt;p&gt;How will the White House spin this out of control armament being dropped on potentially any unknown human.</wordzilla:extended>

      <wordzilla:destination>https://www.aol.com/articles/53-dems-vote-against-declaring-145612493.html</wordzilla:destination>
      <description>Dozens of Democrats have voted against a nonbinding resolution in the House that reaffirms Iran as the &quot;largest state sponsor of terrorism.&quot; The resolution, put forward by Rep. Brian Mast, R-Fla., passed by a 372-53 vote on Thursday, with all those voting no being Democrats. Two Democrats also voted present.</description>
      <wordzilla:extended>Existing Designation: Iran has been a U.S. government-designated state sponsor of terrorism since 1984. The resolution did not create a new legal status but reaffirmed an existing one.
&lt;p&gt;For 50+ years the designation hasn't been lifted.</wordzilla:extended>

      <title>Congress Votes to Hide Their Own Files</title>
      <link>https://drudge.com/news/290480/congress-votes-hide-their-own-files</link>
      <wordzilla:destination>https://www.notus.org/congress/mace-resolution-ethics-publish-members-sexual-harassment-records</wordzilla:destination>
      <description>The House voted to punt a resolution Wednesday that would have released records from all House Ethics Committee investigations into sexual harassment and unwelcome sexual advances by members.</description>
      <wordzilla:extended>The motion passed 357-65, with 38 Republican and 27 Democrats voting &quot;no.&quot; Rep. Brad Knott, a Republican from North Carolina and a member of the Ethics Committee, voted present.
&lt;p&gt;The Ethics committee would have already investigated.
&lt;p&gt;This was about releasing the Files.
&lt;p&gt;Why is Congress trying to cover up their own crimes?
&lt;p&gt;Does the Executive Branch get to see the unredacted Files in a secure room as a common courtesy in exchange for the Epstein File access?</wordzilla:extended>

      <wordzilla:destination>https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/28/us/pacific-northwest-polyamory-legal-protection.html</wordzilla:destination>
      <description>Polygamy has been illegal in the entire US. It was a barrier for Statehood for Utah. Now, polygamous relationships exist, but how to do reconcile giving legal protections for multi partner relationships while not being married.</description>
      <wordzilla:extended>It was inevitable that polygamy would be at play eventually with an ever changing society.
&lt;p&gt;Is it just a matter of a relationship involving people making contracts.
&lt;p&gt;Doesn't really need marriage, but marriage laws is the changes that will be sought.</wordzilla:extended>

      <wordzilla:destination>https://en.newsner.com/news/heres-every-female-celebrity-named-in-the-epstein-files/</wordzilla:destination>
      <description>Some of the notable women mentioned are: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Ashley Biden Chelsea Clinton Ashley Massaro Diana, Princess of Wales Ghislaine Maxwell Gloria Allred Hillary Clinton Ivanka Trump Jill Biden Kamala Harris Lady Victoria Hervey Mette-Marit, Crown Princess of Norway Ariane de Rothschild Melania Trump Michelle Obama Nancy Pelosi Nikki Haley Sarah Ferguson Theresa May Zoe Lofgren Naomi Campbell  ... and many more. While appearing in the files doesn't indicate any criminal behavior, the list underscores the staggering breadth of Epstein's connections, touching royalty, politics, Hollywood, and the music world alike. For those watching closely, it's a reminder that even the glittering heights of fame and influence weren't immune to the shadow of Epstein's orbit.</description>
      <wordzilla:extended>But, if your name is listed, you must have known.</wordzilla:extended>

      <description>This is hitting the local schools across the region and nationwide. Now not only are people fishing to find a name, any name, things are being made up(?).</description>
      <wordzilla:extended>By unleashing a ton of records,people believe, right or wrong, that a name mentioned is guilty.
&lt;p&gt;The destruction is only the beginning of innocent people and business.
&lt;p&gt;But, who cares.  A name mentioned is all that matters.  The more the name appears,the more damning it has to be.
&lt;p&gt;The public will get its pound and everyone named is fair game.

      <description>Rep. Jamie Raskin claims he found a redacted quote from Jeffrey Epstein's lawyers that contradicts Trump's statements about kicking the disgraced financier out of Mar-a-Lago, according to his review of unredacted DOJ files</description>

Some of the Epstein docs the DOJ invited members of Congress to view&amp;Acirc;&amp;nbsp;are STILL&amp;Acirc;&amp;nbsp;redacted, despite promises otherwise.

Raskin says DOJ&amp;#x27;s reading room has just four computers. It would take seven years to get through the files in the current conditions established by the DOJ.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:s5b3x4exyludm73jcgvupe7q/post/3mehhh7zw7c2j?ref_src=embed&quot;&gt;[image or embed]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; -- Kyle Griffin (&lt;a href=&quot;https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:s5b3x4exyludm73jcgvupe7q?ref_src=embed&quot;&gt;@kylegriffin1.bsky.social&lt;/a&gt;) &lt;a href=&quot;https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:s5b3x4exyludm73jcgvupe7q/post/3mehhh7zw7c2j?ref_src=embed&quot;&gt;Feb 9, 2026 at 5:06 PM&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;script async src=&quot;https://embed.bsky.app/static/embed.js&quot; charset=&quot;utf-8&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;</wordzilla:extended>
