Following a campaign finance review, it was revealed that Husted accepted $3,500 from Wexner in July, just two months prior to voting against the release of the Epstein files. This opposition was reiterated in November, though the Epstein Files Transparency Act was subsequently passed through the Senate. Wexner also contributed over $250,000 to Republican candidates, including Senator Bernie Moreno, who received $3,500 in June and later claimed media and Democrats were fueling calls for file release, before joining Husted in voting against them and ultimately supporting the Act’s passage.

Senator Lindsey Graham’s comments on Greenland at the Munich Security Conference have ignited controversy, with critics denouncing his apparent dismissal of national sovereignty. This follows President Trump’s previous assertion of U.S. interest in acquiring the island. Despite Danish and Greenlandic insistence that Greenland is not for sale, discussions regarding increased U.S. defense and surveillance cooperation are ongoing, with Secretary of State Antony Blinken scheduled to meet with Danish and Greenlandic leaders.

Following a block aimed at cutting off Russian Starlink access, Ukrainian cyber warfare forces established a fake registration service. This operation, designed to trick Russian soldiers, collected sensitive data on their Starlink terminals and locations. By posing as a support network on Telegram, Ukrainian cyber units successfully gathered 2,420 data entries, along with payments from Russian troops. The collected intelligence was reportedly sent to Ukrainian defense officials for potential use.

It appears there’s a strong sentiment that U.S. leadership is currently in a state of disarray, with a prominent German politician, identified as Merz, calling for a re-evaluation and repair of trans-Atlantic relations. This sentiment stems from a perceived loss of stability and predictability from the United States, leading to a need for Europe to forge a more independent path.
The assessment of current U.S. leadership is quite harsh, with some describing it as erratic and unstable, to the point where rebuilding trust and cooperation is seen as an immense challenge. The difficulty in repairing these relationships is amplified by the belief that the current U.S.… Continue reading
Joe Rogan has publicly criticized the Trump administration’s response to the Jeffrey Epstein files, calling the repeated assertions that the documents are a “hoax” inaccurate. Rogan highlighted the release of over three million DOJ documents, noting that despite the volume, many details regarding potential co-conspirators remained redacted. Pressure from lawmakers led to the unredaction of names of several wealthy individuals, including Emirati billionaire Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, with whom Epstein shared extensive correspondence including discussions of sex and disturbing content. Rogan questioned the selective redaction of names, arguing it was not protecting victims and demanding further transparency in the release of these sensitive files.

A congressional investigation has revealed that the Trump administration spent over $1 million per person to deport some migrants to third countries with whom they had no connection, only to have many eventually returned to their home nations at further taxpayer expense. The report details over $32 million paid to five foreign governments, including corrupt regimes, to accept approximately 300 third-country nationals deported from the US. In one extreme case, Rwanda received $7.5 million plus flight costs for just seven individuals. Furthermore, over 80% of migrants sent to these third countries have since returned to their home nations, raising questions about the efficacy and rationale of these costly deportations.

It’s rather concerning to see that the United States has surpassed 900 reported cases of measles, with infections now documented in a significant 24 states. This resurgence of a disease that was once largely under control is a stark reminder of the fragility of public health gains. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has been diligently tracking these numbers, and their data paints a clear picture of the primary driver behind this outbreak.
A substantial majority, approximately 94%, of these measles cases are occurring among individuals who are unvaccinated or whose vaccination status is unknown. This statistic strongly suggests a direct correlation between vaccination rates and the spread of the virus.… Continue reading
The Norwegian police have reportedly taken the significant step of searching the properties of former Prime Minister Thorbjørn Jagland, a move apparently triggered by his alleged connections to the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. This development shines a spotlight on the global implications of the Epstein scandal and raises questions about accountability, particularly when individuals in positions of high political office are implicated. It’s a striking contrast to what some perceive as a lack of similar action in other jurisdictions, leading to a sentiment that while some nations are actively confronting these difficult truths, others are not.
The immediacy of charges in Norway, unlike some other countries, seems to stem from the direct evidence found within Epstein’s emails.… Continue reading
A recent report from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York has shed light on a truth many suspected all along: Americans are shouldering the vast majority of the costs associated with former President Trump’s tariffs. It turns out that approximately 90% of these tariffs are ultimately paid for by consumers here in the United States. This is a revelation that, while perhaps shocking to some, aligns precisely with how economists have long understood the mechanics of tariffs. When a country imposes taxes on imported goods, those costs don’t simply vanish into thin air. Instead, they are typically passed on down the line, from the importer to the retailer, and ultimately to the end consumer.… Continue reading
During a hearing, CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott described a detainee as “not compliant” and “fighting back nonstop” when questioned about the use of a spray canister, suggesting the actions were not de-escalatory. The article criticizes the agency heads for not appearing well and for failing to indicate any changes in detention handling, even amidst ongoing violence and protests. Despite claims of de-escalation, the administration’s aggressive deportation agenda and hostile treatment of protesters remain unchanged, sparking continued demonstrations against perceived injustice.
