On Feb 1, Krasnov betrayed our neighbor and closest friends. Today he has gone further with a 35% tariff on everything, except steel and aluminum, which cop 50%. This is a disgrace. No people on earth are more friendly and understand us more than Canadians. Support Canada in any way you can; Snap up Canadian goods before the tariffs hit, think about a vacation up north. Oh Canada, we Dems are here for you.

Source: Newsweek
The Arab world has condemned Hamas, telling the group to end its rule in Gaza and hand over its weapons to the Palestinian Authority.
Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Egypt joined 14 other countries in signing a declaration at a U.N. conference that condemned the Oct. 7 attacks on Israel and gave "unwavering support" to a two-state solution.
"In the context of ending the war in Gaza, Hamas must end its rule in Gaza and hand over its weapons to the Palestinian Authority," the declaration said. "In line with the objective of a sovereign and independent Palestinian State."

Donald Trump threatens trade talks over Canada's intent to recognize Palestinian state
Source: Toronto Star
OTTAWA—U.S. President Donald Trump says Canada’s plan to recognize a State of Palestine will hinder his ability to reach a trade deal with Ottawa the day before his August tariff deadline.
“Wow! Canada has just announced that it is backing statehood for Palestine. That will make it very hard for us to make a Trade Deal with them. Oh’ Canada!!!,” Trump posted in his Truth Social account shortly after midnight early Thursday morning.
Almost a day earlier on Wednesday, the U.S. President had posted that “THE AUGUST FIRST DEADLINE IS THE AUGUST FIRST DEADLINE — IT STANDS STRONG, AND WILL NOT BE EXTENDED. A BIG DAY FOR AMERICA!!!”
Late Wednesday afternoon, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that Canada intends to recognize a Palestinian state at the United Nations General Assembly in September. That commitment is predicated on whether the Palestinian Authority, the governing body in the occupied West Bank, agrees to a series of reforms, such as holding general elections in 2026 in which Hamas can have no role and ensuring that a Palestinian state is demilitarized. The prime minister spoke to Mahmoud Abbas, President of the Palestinian Authority, on Wednesday and said he had agreed to the conditions.

This is likely to enrage Canadians give the UK has announced the same thing.
I don't think Epstein was stealing girls employed at Mar-a-Lago .
Krasnov was forwarding them to him. He kept an eye on the girls filling the vacancies, then trafficked some more. Kras no client, he was Epstein's full partner. As widely reported they fell out after Kransnov entered a bidding war against Epstein over a South Florida property.
Why come up with this cover story? Because sooner or later people would be asking questions about employing Virginia Giuffre and perhaps others. 'Oh yeah, I hardly knew them. I never went to the spa. I didn't know them but Epstein stole them.'
Tear Gas? Rubber Bullets? Flash Bangs?
Why does it appear that the IDF's go to (only?) means of crowd control is live ammunition.
Bill Clinton is blamed for repealing Glass-Steagall.
The Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act passed the House 362–57 and the Senate 90–8. A Presidential Veto under those circumstances would have been pointless, performative, and laughable, although those who subscribe to the Pickett's Charge theory of politics might disagree.
Bill Clinton was the best president in my life time,
judged not by legislation, policy, or RW noise, but what it was like to live in the '90s. In the year 2000 we had a budget surplus, real wage improvements across the board, and good relations with the rest of the world including China and Russia.Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama were the best of men; WJC gave us the best of times.
An attorney for Maxwell said she "answered every single question"
Justice Dept. finishes second day of Ghislaine Maxwell interviewPresident Trump said he was not considering granting clemency to Maxwell, a former associate of Jeffrey Epstein.
An attorney for Maxwell said she “answered every single question” posed by Todd Blanche, the deputy attorney general. Blanche finished his interview with her early Friday afternoon, the lawyer said, adding that Maxwell did not seek or agree to any deal with the Trump administration.
“We haven’t asked for anything,” the attorney, David Oscar Markus, told reporters after the interview Friday. “There’s been no asks and no promises.”
Speaking to reporters earlier in the day, Trump was asked if he would grant Maxwell a pardon or commute her sentence. He said he had not considered it. “It’s something I haven’t thought about. It’s really — it’s not recommended,” he said. “It’s something I’m allowed to do, but it’s something I have not thought of.”
