UNANIMOUS CONSENT

Well, with incredible swiftness yesterday,  both houses of the U.S. Congress passed that controversial Epstein file release legislation . The House vote was 427 to 1.  Louisiana Republican Representative Clay Higgins cited his concern about innocent people being hurt. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer brought up the bill on the floor of the Senate under a procedure called unanimous consent.  He had checked with the Republican party about this process, which allows no debate and no amendments, got concurrence and succeeded.  There was no congressional vote, so no one in the midterm election will get tainted. This measure is now on President Donald Trump's desk, and he has said he will sign it. The bill requires Attorney General Pam Bondi to release “all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials” related to Epstein and his co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell no later than 30 days after the law is enacted.   T he bill gives Bondi th...

WHO IS REP. THOMAS MASSIE?

Huge day for President Donald Trump.  First, he  met in the White House with Saudi Arabia Crown  Prince Mohammed bin Salman  ( MBS ), a man who soon will be king.  His father, King Salman, is 86 years old and frail. They were exceedingly friendly to each other.   The last time they met in DC was in 2017 in Trump's first term. The 2018  Jamal Khashoggi matter  came up, and Trump brushed that off in the same manner that he lies about in his own affairs. On the Gaza strip issue, MBS steered closer to joining the  Abraham Accords  and indicated support for Palestinian statehood. Saudi Arabia will invest $1 trillion in the U.S . Trump agreed to sell F-35 jets to Saudi Arabia. These fighters cost around $100 million each, and 48 will  be sold. The total investment will approach $4 billion when you add parts, services, etc. The deal will be similar to what Israel got. Looked like an ambush, but... Vanessa Balintec and Zoe Law A report...

VIKING CRUISE LINE IS NOW #1

  Is Donald Trump losing total control of Republicans?  The answer is, absolutely.  A couple of days ago,  Republican Rep Lauren Boebert completely defied President Donald Trump .  She refused to take her name off the Epstein discharge petition.  In the past, she did anything he asked. U.S. Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), and Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) joined Boebert as the only Republicans signing the petition, which needed 218 signatures to force a vote . All signs show that this vote will occur on Tuesday. An even more surprising rebellion came from Republican Rep. Marjorie Green : Rep.  Marjorie Taylor Greene said  the battle over   the release of the Epstein files   has sent President Donald Trump “over the edge” and accused him of putting her life in danger after he publicly withdrew his support for the Georgia Congresswoman.   Greene,   standard-bearer of the MAGA movement   and   formerly...
