Together We Are America 🧊 😱 ✡️🌻😱 👿 🧊 🐰 🏈

🐰 🏈 🐰 🏈 Last night’s half time show was joyous, colorful, fun, and creative. The wedding was real and Lady Gaga was there, singing in English for those who needed to hear some English. Not classic rock but muy bien even for those of us whose Español isn’t. Bad Bunny took the high road, his message was about love and unity, so no one should be surprised that the orange wannabee king found his performance to be “an affront to the Greatness of America” in contrast to the racist hate message he re-Truthed in the middle of the night on Friday. Either Trump wrote his Bad Bunny slam before the show or was watching it rather than the Turning Point USA Kid Rock alternative he wanted everyone to view instead.  While a few million did watch Kid Rock, far more didn’t. With 133.5 million viewers, the Bad Bunny half time show set a new record for the most watched performance in the Super Bowl’s history. Maybe that was the Streisand effect, maybe it was because Bad Bunny is an extremely popular performer who has a worldwide appeal, or maybe it was a little of both. As to Trump’s racist Friday message, which depicted Michelle and Barack Obama as apes, it was defended by press secretary Lying Leavitt as okay because it was just a Lion King parody and who doesn’t like the Lion King and why does it matter that the real Lion King doesn’t include any apes?  Trump, who was surprised that any of his people, especially, “his” Blacks, were offended by it, never apologized but did eventually claim that one of his aides sent it which begs the question, which aide was with him in his bedroom in the middle of the night when he was busy Truthing 😩?  

Epstein, Epstein, 😩:  More details keep emerging from the Epstein files, or at least those that have been released because despite the DOJ’s insistence that all of them are out, they aren’t.  It’s clear that Epstein was a twisted sexual predator, Ghislaine Maxwell’s participation makes her just as evil and the damage that was done to all of the victims is unimaginable. It’s sickening that the names of lots of those who participated in Epstein’s worst crimes have been redacted while the names of some of the victims have not. It’s very disturbing that so many who, even though they didn’t participate in Epstein’s awful crimes, were willing to turn a blind eye to what he was doing.  However, that said there are degrees of blame and responsibility, and it’s increasingly obvious that the worst offenders remain protected, either as a result of their orange power or because of some airtight NDAS while lesser names and people on the fringes are suffering consequences. Over the weekend more information about Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s ties to Epstein were revealed. Lutnick, who once volunteered that he distanced himself from Epstein early on was in business with Epstein and there’s even a memo in the files that suggests that Epstein helped him source his nanny. So far Lutnick still has his job. While they’re still trying to get a commitment for their testimony to be aired in real time, the Clintons are planning to testify.  The NY Times reports that the Clinton Global Initiative was advised by Ghislaine Maxwell and received funds from Epstein all before he was indicted, and we’ve known for some time that Bill Clinton flew on Epstein’s plane, not to his island but to places assisted by his initiative, there doesn’t appear to be anything about Hillary in the files, but still they as opposed to Trump have been called to testify. Protective political power appears to be a US phenomenon for those in the orange one’s circle.  It doesn’t help political figures in the UK where both British Ambassador to the US Peter Mandelson and a key aide to Prime Minister Keir Starmer who had a role in Mandelson’s hiring have been forced out. It’s not working in Norway either where the Crown Princess’ suitability to be Queen is being questioned and where Mona Juul, the country’s Ambassador to Jordan and Iraq, was shown the door this weekend. There’s so much still to be uncovered but a few peculiar items that came to light this weekend are truly weird: the files contain a draft press release announcing the death of Epstein, what’s odd is that the release was dated the day before Epstein committed suicide; and late last week there was a report that a video showing a previously unshared “orange blur,” possibly another person, near Epstein’s cell right before his “suicide.” The conspiracy theories write themselves.

Other 💩: The Tulsi Gabbard story isn’t going away. The whistleblower report that she covered up instead of sharing with the intelligence committees was about an intercepted call between two foreign nationals discussing someone in Trump’s inner circle regarding Iran right before last June’s airstrikes. Gabbard shared it with Susie Wiles and then it was squelched, at least until now.  On the health care front, Trump revealed his new TrumpRX program to much fanfare last week.  It turns out that half the drugs on the TrumpRX site have a cheaper generic version on the market and most people will get better pricing for most of the drugs included in the program through insurance.  As to the growing measles problem, Dr. Oz who says that he’s supportive of measles vaccines also wants us to believe that RFK is too.  He’s not. Lastly,  the DOJ is having a hard time holding on to US Attorneys because so many don’t want to pursue Trump’s illegal objectives.  They’re seeking new hires but only want those willing to do Trump’s bidding to apply.
