Late on Sunday, Israel's security cabinet ratified a series of decisions pushed by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and Defence Minister Israel Katz. The new measures, which aim to expand Israel's power across the occupied West Bank, will make it easier to seize Palestinian land illegally. "We are anchoring settlement as an inseparable part of Israel's government policy," bleated Katz, the man who personally oversaw the destruction of the UNRWA facility in Jerusalem.

President Donald Trump has repeatedly maintained that he had no knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein's horrendous sex crimes. But in July 2006, just as Jeffrey Epstein's criminal case became public, Trump called then-Palm Beach police chief Michael Reiter to tell him that Epstein's activities with teenaged girls were well known in both NYC and Palm Beach and he informed Police Chief Reiter that Ghislaine Maxwell "is evil and to focus on her."

Rep. Brian Babin (R-TX) thanked God for "getting us a new president" in Donald Trump, who has saved this nation from "apostasy, blasphemy, taking our children down the path of homosexuality and perversion."

  • Russian, Belorussian, and Israeli athletes compete at the Winter Olympics while Ukrainian athletes have been marginalized. The Israeli team was booed, as was VPOTUS JD and Usha Vance.
  • Hungary PM Viktor Orban declared Ukraine an enemy state. Hungary is an EU and NATO member and Orban is an ally of ICC-indicted war criminal Vladimir Putin.
  • Kiev denies involvement in an assassination attempt on Russian GRU General Vladimir Alekseev.
  • Ukrainian intelligence warns that Russia offered the US an economic cooperation package worth about $12 trillion (AKA the "Dmitriev package").
  • Germany indicted a Ukrainian national in connection with an alleged Russia-orchestrated plot to mail explosive parcels across Europe.
  • Russia continues attacking Ukraine's nuclear reactors sites with rockets and drones, trying to freeze and demoralize their population.
  • Total number of Russian military personnel losses KIA or WIA: 1,245,290.

    A directive from the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) ordered the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to rescind $602 million in funding from four Democratic-led states: Colorado, Illinois, California, and Minnesota, along with $943 million by the Transportation Department.

    "Experts say it will fundamentally alter the civil and legal reality of the territory, removing what the Israeli ministers termed "legal obstacles" that have existed for decades against the expansion of illegal settlements in the occupied territories.

    The Palestinian presidency called the decision "dangerous" and an "open Israeli attempt to legalize settlement expansion" and land confiscation. President Mahmoud Abbas's office called on the United States and the United Nations Security Council to intervene immediately.

    On Monday, eight Muslim-majority countries denounced Israel for trying to impose "unlawful Israeli sovereignty" in the occupied West Bank."

    Israel, condemned as a Pariah nation and Rogue state because of its genocidal campaign in Gaza which killed nearly 72,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, has been rightfully cited as the main source of instability in the Middle East. Israel is pushing the nefarious Trumpf junta to attack Iran on its behalf, but the Kremlin won't be pleased with their strategic economic partner being attacked.

    International arrest warrants for crimes against humanity issued by the ICC remain active for Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and former IDF General Yoav Gallan. In addition, the Istanbul Public Prosecutor in Turkiye issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and 30 other suspected Israeli war criminals.

    Indictments are merely allegations. To ensure a fair trial, Messrs Netanyahu and Gallant must all be presumed innocent until they are proven guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt at an international tribunal to be held for them in the Hague at future dates.

    For Palestinians in the Gaza Strip or the West Bank, it makes no difference whatsoever which political party is in the White House or who controls Congress, whether it's the Republicans or the Democrats. The hardworking American taxpayer will continue to subsidize ethnic cleansing in Israel year in and year out. Gosh, why is the US hated so much by the people in the Middle East?

    Hi Snoofy:

    Thanks for that info.

    I was monitoring that event wondering if this was a coincidence or if it was related to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

    Virginia Giuffre (and others) testified about potential threats against the victims and their families as well.

    In her book Nobody's Girl and her TV interviews, Virginia keeps asking the same question: How did those two fiends get away with this nefarious enterprise for so long?

    In her book she writes that Epstein warned her that he "owns the Palm Beach police department."

    She also knew that blackmail and extortion were somehow involved because she discovered two secret cameras hidden in clocks.

    Virginia made her three children watch whatever interviews she conducted so that they would be aware of what happened to her and for them to get stronger from it.

    Also note that Virginia didn't age well. Years of alcohol, Xanax, and PTSD wore her out. She was also in an accident which injured her neck.

    Virginia was slandered for taking settlement money from a lawsuit she filed, but her husband and her became broke because of Epstein and Maxwell and she needed the money for her family's survival. This was also the only measure of justice she could get back then.

    Also, Virginia realized that it was her father who "sold" Virginia into sexual slavery.

    This miscreant had abused her when she was a child and he let his friend abuse her too while her mother looked away.

    This was all before she reached puberty.

    Virginia's father worked at Dummkopf Trumpf's golf resort and got her the job there in the locker room when Virginia was 17 years old or so.

    Shortly afterwards, Ghislaine Maxwell approached Virginia and convinced her to work for Epstein who would train Virginia, a high school dropout, with a trade: professional masseuse. She jumped at the opportunity unaware of what was going to happen to her.

    Virginia had no chance to enjoy her childhood and she committed suicide last year.

    Virginia monitored the "Me Too" movement with fascination and realized how powerful men used women as disposable items.

    Should Ghislaine Maxwell be pardoned by Dummkopf Trumpf, authorities in Florida and New York must immediately seek warrants for her arrest before she has the chance to flee to Israel and the statute of limitations expire. "G-Max" also has a French passport, but she would find no refuge there. Israel rarely extradites their own citizens and if she was a Mossad asset, Tel Aviv would certainly protect her, like American traitor Jonathan Pollard.



    USSECSTATE Marco Rubio was personally vetted for his position by none other than mega oligarch Larry Ellison, a close friend of ICC-indicted war criminal Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu, based on Rubio's loyalty to Israel. This seems to be the most important qualification for America's top diplomat to possess in the incompetent Trumpf junta. Link: Marco Rubio More Loyal to Israel Over American Taxpayers

    Besides callously dismantling USAID in 2025, as a Republican Senator from Florida, Marco Rubella undermined the ACA ("Obamacare") by subtly adding corrosive riders to the bill in 2015.

    Note all of the problems poor Americans are now facing with the BBB and lack of subsidies to pay for them.

    Everybody at the 2026 Munich Security Conference, and on the planet for that matter, knows that the vapid, imagination-less Marco Rubio is merely an Empty Suit come to waste everyone's time in Germany, as well as hardworking American taxpayer dollars.

    Idaho Governor Brad Little (R) seems like a real nice, kind-hearted person.


    Governor Little's support for ICE: Clean Out My State!; Good job, ICE!

    After this disaster, I bet Idahoans will still vote Republican on Tuesday 3 Nov 2026, 2 Nov 2027, and 7 Nov 2028.
