Don't forget that "Alligator Alcatraz" is still open and still rife with abuses and inhumanity: lnk.thebulwark.com/4cQfkuF





Donald Trump Jr. joined 1789 Capital as a partner in November 2024 - the month his father won the election. Since then, four of the fund's portfolio companies have received government contracts totaling more than $735 million. The largest single award: a $620 million Pentagon loan to Vulcan Elements, a 30-person rare earths startup. It was the largest loan in the history of the Pentagon's Office of Strategic Capital. In February, Trump Jr. told the Financial Times he was "very involved in the strategic decisions regarding where to invest our resources" at 1789. He also said the firm "understands what the administration wants to do, because we helped craft some of the messaging." Now Bloomberg is reporting that Mixed Martial Arts Group Ltd. - an Australia-based company with Conor McGregor as an investor, in which Trump Jr. invested and serves as adviser via the Trump family-affiliated American Ventures LLC fund - is pitching the US military and first responders for training contracts. Senators Warren, Kim and Blumenthal sent a letter to Pete Hegseth in January asking whether DoD contract decisions involving companies linked to Trump Jr. were affected by conflicts of interest. "If this is the case, it could mean that the Trump family is profiting from funds appropriated by Congress to keep Americans safe," they wrote. Hegseth is the man who fired the generals. He now controls the contracts. Trump Jr. helped craft the administration's messaging. The pattern is documented and the timeline is not in dispute.

The Holy Father Leo, who has little time for those hack journalists writing for editorial offices with a clear political slant, gave journalists a dressing-down today: “A certain narrative has spread, not entirely accurate, because of the political situation that arose when, on the first day of the journey, the President of the United States made some remarks about me. Much of what has been written since then has been little more than commentary upon commentary, in an attempt to interpret what was said. One example is the address delivered at the Prayer Meeting for Peace on 16 April. That address had been prepared two weeks earlier, well before the President commented on me and on the message of peace I am promoting. And yet it was interpreted as though I were trying to engage once again in debate with the President, which is not at all my interest. I come to Africa primarily as a pastor, as Head of the Catholic Church, to be with, to celebrate with, to encourage and to accompany all African Catholics.” One–nil. Game on.





Hit me with a harsh medical fact.

And there it is.... Update in Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against his own I.R.S., in which he seeks taxpayer-funded damages for the prior release of his tax records Trump legal filing says he's in "discussions" with his own I.R.S. to "avoid protracted litigation"


Iran is rejecting Trump’s claim that Tehran agreed to hand over its enriched uranium stockpile. A source close to Iran’s Parliament Speaker said “no form of nuclear material transfer to America has been negotiated,” directly contradicting Trump. Another Iranian source called the claim “another lie,” adding that “no major progress has been made” in talks. Iran says any negotiations will depend on “compliance with all of Iran’s conditions.”
