No way older grey Epstein could go into a mall, or a fitness club, and entice children to go with him - only a posh sounding woman can do the enticing, fishing, and entrapment. This is Maxwell - she is NOT and never HAS been, a victim. She is just as evil and guilty, if not more so.

These VOA newscasters and reporters were given visas because there weren't experienced broadcast journalists in the US with native level skills in such languages as Bambara, Lao or Georgian. But since Kari Lake wiped out nearly all VOA's 48 language services there are indeed no jobs for them now.

ICE crackdown imperils Afghans who aided U.S. war effort, lawyers say
Advocates fear President Donald Trumpβs ambitious deportation plan jeopardizes Afghan interpreters and other allies who worked for U.S. troops during the war.
A disgrace.
βOne former interpreter for U.S. forces in Afghanistan was detained by immigration agents after he showed up for a routine green card appointment. A second was arrested just minutes after attending his first asylum hearing in San Diego.β

Texas Democrats to flee state, blocking plan to pad GOPβs control of Congress
By leaving, Democratic state legislators can stall a Republican plan that would give the GOP five more seats to protect their narrow House majority.
Breaking news: Democrats in the Texas legislature said they were fleeing the state Sunday to block a redistricting plan backed by President Donald Trump aimed at preserving the GOPβs slim House majority.

Every congressional member should have USCP protection. If ICE or other LE put a hand on them, then USCP arrests them.
They absolutely have that authority.
When dems retake the majority, every member gets protection.
LE against LE is the only way.

The Mothership Vortex: An Investigation Into the Firm at the Heart of the Democratic Spam Machine
How a single consulting firm extracted $282 million from a network of spam PACs while delivering just $11 million to actual campaigns.
The annoying spam texts destroying the Democratic brand:
$678M raised through those spam tactics
$282M to one consulting firm: Mothership Strategies.
$11M to actual campaigns (1.6%)
The party isnβt just treating donors like marksβitβs being fleeced itself yet continues to back Mothership.
