Trump: Epstein “stole” young woman from Mar-a-Lago spa. The initial reaction to Trump’s statement, that Epstein “stole” a young woman from his Mar-a-Lago spa, is one of stark disbelief. The use of the word “stole” immediately frames this as a transaction, reducing a human being to property. It’s a deeply unsettling phrase, implying ownership and a casual disregard for the person involved.

Tsunami hits Russia’s Far East after powerful earthquake, and the news is unfolding rapidly. The situation is evolving in real-time, and the scale of the event is becoming increasingly apparent. Early reports indicated a significant earthquake, and now we’re seeing the devastating consequences of a resulting tsunami. The initial focus, understandably, is on the Kamchatka Peninsula, where the brunt of the wave is being felt.
The first crucial detail is the size of the tsunami itself. We’re talking about waves reaching 3 to 4 meters high, or roughly 10 to 13 feet. That’s a serious amount of water, enough to cause considerable damage and pose a significant threat to anyone near the coastline.… Continue reading
President Trump’s attempts to distance himself from Jeffrey Epstein are complicated by his own statements. Trump confirmed that the dispute stemmed from Epstein hiring young women from his Mar-a-Lago spa, which led to their falling out and Epstein’s expulsion from the club. This account, however, contrasts with previous statements and reports that suggest the rift may have resulted from other factors, such as competition over a Palm Beach property. These revelations raise questions about what Trump knew about Epstein’s activities, particularly given his past comments and the timeline of events.

In December, India sent $1.4 million worth of the high-explosive HMX to Russia, with the shipments received by Russian defense companies such as Promsintez.

While the US has expressed concern and cautioned allies, it has yet to impose sanctions, due to its strategic partnership with India.

Trump Says Epstein ‘Stole’ Underage Victim from Mar-a-Lago Spa
The whole situation is just astounding. We’re talking about a comment from Donald Trump where he essentially accuses Jeffrey Epstein of stealing an underage victim from the Mar-a-Lago spa. Where do we even begin? It’s a statement that reeks of several layers of wrongdoing, and it raises a lot of very disturbing questions. The immediate reaction is disbelief, followed by the grim realization that, yes, he actually said that.
One of the first things that leaps out is the implication that underage girls were employed at Mar-a-Lago in the first place. Why?… Continue reading
