We created a searchable database with all 20,000 files from Epsteinโ€™s Estate Easily find every mention of Trump, Clinton, blackmail, and potential sex crimes in the thousands of private messages between Epstein and his close associates.

Trump's name appears the most: more than 1,600 times.

โ€œAt #VeteransDay rally, vets blast Trump on immigration, VA service cuts.

Veterans gathered at the Vietnam War Memorial, where speakers decried ICE arrests, cuts to veterans benefits and โ€˜attacks are to divide and conquer working people.โ€™โ€

Here are some more examples. These whistles come with an immigrant rights hotline, instructions on how to warn people. 3D printing is โ€œa way to show a little extra solidarity, because it's being made for a specific purpose.โ€

On the one hand the ban on 100% of hemp products in the United States destroys an entire industry, and puts Trump back in the Cartels good graces

On the other hand ... Maybe voter turnout will be better ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

The hemp farmers forgot to give Trump a piece of the action. Cut him in for 20% and this all goes away.

This Veterans Day, we honor those who put on the uniform to keep our country safe.

But our heroes deserve more than applause once a yearโ€”they deserve to be honored every day, not with layoffs or cuts jeopardizing their care.

We owe it to them to do right by those who served.

Thank you for restoring my lack of faith in the ability of our state to function in any way that benefits its citizens.
Furthering the flames to the dying smoulders of what little bit even remained of this non functioning "democracy"

STORMBRINGER (1977), Acrylic on Masonite - 30" x 20". Standing atop ruins at the end of the world, an anguished Elric thrusts the runeblade Stormbringer to the heavens. The sky behind him roils with clouds rendered in acidic green. The chainmail on his right arm is torn. He wears a yellow tunic and belts strapped across his waist and chest crusted with jewels. His purple and black cloak billows in the wind. From a leather cord, he holds an ivory horn with ornate swirls of gold. The ruins he stands upon are crumbling, including the face of a skull that is missing a chunk of forehead and part of the orbital. The mouth isn't human given the fangs in its mouth and the horns protruding off the side of the head that is intact. Off to the side, a pterosaur-like creature perches with wings spread.

In this weekโ€™s newsletter, we delve into legendary territory.

The year was 1977โ€ฆwith STORMBRINGER, I completed work on the Elric Saga and received my first World Fantasy Award nomination.

The global elite plutocrats have stolen our state already. All the fascist hate group Heritage Foundation is doing is cleaning up the dregs. Trump is simply an agent of their will as is the GOP

There is no law they will answer to outside capital itself

FYI: Gutting SNAP benefits is outlined in Chapter 10 of Project 2025.
Remember, this is all by design.
