Like Venezuela, all the talk is about Iran's oil & not its other natural resources. Iran's natural gas reserves are second in size to Russia.

I didn't follow the Watergate hearings closely but I happened to be watching on the day Alexander Butterfield revealed the taping system. One of those Holy Guacamole! moments.

Putin and US envoy Witkoff finish what Kremlin calls 'useful' talks in Moscow The high-stakes meeting came just hours after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said a draft deal was 'nearly ready' and that he and United States President Donald Trump had agreed on the issue o...

If (when?) Trump's gunboat diplomacy goes sideways, it'll be Witkoff taking the rap, not the Kushners.

I know. I live in Nassau County & grew up in Suffolk County. I suffered thru George Santos as my representative. Sick of Blakeman, D'Amato, Cairo, the whole lot.

Any classified info Jared is privy to, he shares with his father. Same Charlie Kushner who recc'd Jonathan Braun, a violent criminal, for a pardon placed Josh Gruenbaum in a highly sensitive position.

Witkoff went to Wheatley & Hofstra. Lutnick went to Jericho High & Haverford College.

Timeline on Jared Kushner, Qatar, 666 Fifth Avenue, and White House Policy A comprehensive account of Jared Kushner, 666 Fifth Avenue, and White House support for the blockade of Qatar after the Qataris rejected Kushner Companies.

I didn't know that. Qatar also bailed out the Kushners via Brookfield Asset Management by buying their white elephant building at 666 Fifth Ave during Trump 1.0.

And why not? Trump is making the Witkoffs more wealthy than they already are. Not only that, Grandpa will be hailed as an architect of the Iran War in some quarters.

I noted Interior Sec Doug Burgum first as a guest at Murdoch's b'day bash in my prev post since he was in Caracas last week scheming how to plunder Venezuela's other natural resources, eg rare earth minerals like coltan, gold, diamonds & bauxite.

Sec of Interior Doug Burgum & Special Advisor to the President Jared Kushner were able to take time out from their busy schedules to celebrate Rupert Murdoch's birthday Saturday night. Ivanka, Tony Blair, Rishi Sunak, Jessica Tisch, Glenn Youngkin & Bill Barr were among the other guests.

Nice. Thank you.

I suspect Miller & Lewandowski cooked up the scheme to terrorize Minnesota & humiliate Walz to make Trump happy. In the process, the fucking idiots sent Trump's approval ratings plummeting. Look how close Katie Miller & Lewandowski appear to be at Scavino's Feb 1 wedding...

Tommy Robinson allowed to enter US, apparently on the say-so of Kari Lake & Gen Michael Flynn. DeSantis tried to have CAIR declared a terrorist organization & Tyler Bowyer, TPUSA-Arizona PAC campaigning against "Qatar City" in Arizona.

Remains to be seen but I would think so
