Previously unreleased handwritten notes reveal Jeffrey Epstein’s last-ditch efforts in jail to offer information to federal prosecutors regarding Donald Trump, suggesting “Trump is a total con artist.” These notes, scribbled on legal pads, also mentioned former Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg and questioned Trump’s intellect.

The video shows the family’s car slowing down near a military post before soldiers opened fire, contradicting the IDF’s claim that the vehicle was accelerating towards them. B’Tselem, an Israeli Information Center for Human Rights, stated the footage clearly demonstrates the car was slowing to a stop and posed no danger to the soldiers. The incident, which also injured Sam’s parents, has sparked widespread outrage, with the military police now investigating the soldier’s actions.

He also drew a disturbing parallel between Israel’s actions in Gaza and the Holocaust, questioning Israel’s narrative of victimhood.

The revelation of a 14-point draft memorandum between the United States and Iran has sent shockwaves, with many expressing disbelief and characterizing it as a complete capitulation by the US. The sheer scale of concessions, particularly the commitment of substantial financial resources, has led to widespread consternation.
A particularly striking element is the proposed $300 billion in financing for Iran’s rehabilitation and economic development. This figure, described as being significantly larger than the Marshall Plan in today’s dollars, is being viewed not as aid, but as a form of reparations.
