🚨"Epstein's 'GOOD FRIEND' is my neighbor in Ocala, Florida..." “‘Gilly’… private trips… and Florida connections.” The 2004 emails show Ex-Mayor of Miami Beach, Philip Levine, exchanging personal messages with Ghislaine Maxwell, using nicknames and coordinating travel, while broader claims suggest gatherings tied to the Epstein network. Now fast forward—Levine is linked to Ocala, Florida, an area referenced in allegations connected to Virginia Giuffre, raising new questions about how these circles may have overlapped.

@LBC @lewis_goodall Iran bombed 13 countries in one week, after slaughtering 40k+ of its own civilians in 2 days, but Israel is the “rouge state.” 🤔

Melania: "Ghislaine who? Never met her."

Elsewhere in the newsletter: “We are not waiting on bureaucrats anymore,” Carr says in the ad. “I’ll defend you and anyone else in law enforcement doing the right thing: shoot ‘em down.” He’s making public safety a defining theme as he battles for oxygen in the GOP race. #gapol

You’re a capitalist. Innovate and compete or shut up.

Seems Melania got testy when confronted with her shady acquaintances and so I'm sharing this photo where she's wearing a jacket with the words, 'I Really Don' Care. Do U'? Because, really, her grandstanding was grotesque to watch and almost unbearable to listen to.

Melania: "Jeffrey who?"

That time a grandma broke her nose while hiking, refused a helicopter rescue, and later won a $450,000 lawsuit settlement

Ask why there is still an internet blackout if “talks” are under way? DONT TRUST THIS REGIME #IranDigitalBlackout #MIGA

On February 22, 1943, Munich - a university student stands before a guillotine, moments from death. She's 21 years old. Her crime? Throwing pamphlets from a balcony. Her name is Sophie Scholl, and she's about to speak words that will haunt Nazi Germany and inspire generations. But six years earlier, Sophie believed every word Hitler told her. At twelve, she eagerly joined the League of German Girls, the female wing of Hitler Youth. Her brother Hans joined too. They marched. They sang. They trusted. Their father, an anti-Nazi politician, begged them to see the truth. They argued back, convinced he was wrong. Then in 1937, Gestapo arrested Hans for joining an unauthorized camping group. Sophie watched stormtroopers drag away her brother for something as innocent as a scouting trip. Everything she believed began to crumble. By 1942, Sophie enrolled at Munich University to study biology and philosophy. Hans was there studying medicine, quietly gathering friends who whispered about resistance. Then their friend Fritz came back from the Eastern Front and told them what he'd witnessed. Mass shootings. Jewish families executed. The machinery of genocide. They formed the White Rose. They wrote pamphlets calling Germans to wake up, to resist, to remember their humanity. "We will not be silent," their writings declared. "We are your bad conscience." Sophie bought an illegal typewriter. She helped write their message. And because Gestapo agents rarely suspected young women, she distributed the pamphlets across Munich. Five successful operations. Then the sixth. February 18, 1943. Sophie and Hans placed pamphlets throughout the university. Nearly done, Sophie saw leftover leaflets in her suitcase. A split-second choice. She climbed to the top floor and threw them over the railing. They cascaded down like falling snow. A janitor spotted her. Minutes later, the Gestapo arrived. Four days later, after a trial that was pure theater, Sophie received her death sentence. Hours until execution. Prison guards later reported her strange calmness. No tears. No pleading. Just quiet conviction. Her final words, spoken on that sunny February afternoon: "Such a fine day, and I have to go. But what does my death matter if through us thousands are awakened and stirred to action?" The Nazis killed her at 5 PM. They thought they'd silenced her voice. Instead, the Allies found her pamphlet, renamed it "The Manifesto of the Students of Munich," and dropped millions across Germany. Her words, which they tried to bury, rained down on every German city. In 2003, Germans under forty voted Sophie Scholl the greatest German who ever lived. Above Einstein. Above Beethoven. A 21-year-old with a typewriter and an unbreakable conscience became the symbol of moral courage for an entire nation. What the Nazis never anticipated was how completely their plan would backfire. That sixth pamphlet Sophie threw over the university railing was smuggled out of Germany and reached Allied intelligence. They reproduced it by the millions and air-dropped it across German cities. The voice they tried to silence with a guillotine blade became amplified beyond anything the White Rose could have achieved on their own. After the war, University of Munich placed a memorial at the exact spot where Sophie threw those pamphlets. Students still leave white roses there today. The square in front of university was renamed Geschwister-Scholl-Platz (Scholl Siblings Square) in honor of Sophie and Hans. In 2005, a German film about Sophie's final days, "Sophie Scholl: The Final Days," was nominated for an Academy Award and introduced her story to millions worldwide. #archaeohistories

"He sacrificed his wealth"

These are not fabrications. These are real photos of Melania Trump and Jeffrey Epstein / Ghislaine Maxwell. Don’t let her gaslight you. @grok, are these real images?

This isn't just a reorganization of the U.S. Forest Service. It's a dismantling of the agency—an agency that not only provides access to our public lands but protects against wildfires and prevents ecological disasters. motherjones.com/politics/2026/…

Casualty COVER UP: They honored Maj. Sorffly Davius at his memorial. Then left him off the casualty list. He’s not the only one. The Intercept has now published two investigations exposing what one defense official called a "casualty cover-up." The Pentagon keeps releasing lowball numbers. When reporters ask for accurate counts, Central Command stops responding. They've ignored more than a dozen requests for clarification in the past week alone. Here's what the numbers actually look like. The Pentagon's own casualty tracking system can't even agree with itself. One page lists 372 troops wounded in action. Another page, updated the same day, lists 357. Central Command told The Intercept the number was 303. Three different numbers from the same government about the same war. And all three of those numbers are undercounts. More than 200 sailors were treated for smoke inhalation and lacerations after a fire aboard the USS Gerald R. Ford before it limped out of the war zone for repairs. None of them are counted. A soldier named Maj. Sorffly Davius died of sudden illness while deployed to Kuwait in support of the war. A congressman spoke at his memorial. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs honored him by name. He's not on the Pentagon's casualty list. The Air Force officer rescued from behind enemy lines in Iran was, in Trump's own words, "bleeding rather profusely" and "injured quite badly." The Pentagon claims "zero American casualties" from that mission. Hegseth stood at a podium and said "not a single thing we've done has put an American troop in more of a harm's way." Current and former Pentagon officials say that's a lie, that the Department of War failed to adequately protect troops on bases across the Middle East, forcing service members to retreat to hotels and office buildings during attacks. This is not new behavior. After Iran struck Al-Asad Air Base during Trump's first term, he said "no Americans were harmed." The Pentagon eventually admitted 110 troops suffered traumatic brain injuries. Trump dismissed those as "headaches." The Army, whose soldiers man interceptor missile systems on bases across the region, has suffered the most casualties: 251 wounded according to the Pentagon's own data. The Army is only now seeking sensors to detect blast overpressure injuries that cause traumatic brain injuries. They started a war without the equipment to even measure what it's doing to the people fighting it. And the long-term cost? If the roughly 50,000 troops deployed to the Middle East file disability claims at the same rate as Gulf War veterans, it would add $600 billion in costs over their lifetimes. The Pentagon wants $200 billion in supplemental war funding now. The true cost will be in the trillions. They started a war without planning for the families who fled Bahrain. They started a war without equipment to measure brain injuries. And now they're lying about how many Americans have been hurt.

She stood in front of the world and told boldfaced lies. The entire world is laughing at her.

Again GA is falling behind. Folks, we need Jeff Duncan as the next governor of GA.

When you thought you'd seen every weird construction fail… then this staircase shows up 😂

Taking offers here No low balls I know what I got

1. Gas prices jumped 21.2% in a single month. That is the Iran war showing up in your price index. The Strait of Hormuz closes in early March. Gas prices explode. March CPI reflects exactly that. This is not demand-driven inflation.
