Elon Musk's makeshift AI power plant generates sound and fury in Mississippi The 27 temporary gas turbines roar like jet engines day and night to power data centers, residents say.

Trump rolls back pollution regulations & oligarchs roll in w/their noise & air pollution w/o a care about people who live near their data centers. Sure Musk will spend $20 billion in Mississippi but at what human cost?

Defense secretary, Joint Chiefs chairman with Trump at Mar-A-Lago

Why aren’t the President and top military advisor in the Situation Room at the White House? SECURITY LEAKS IN A WAR ENDANGER OUR TROOPS.

But from the beginning, security has never been a strength of this administration, has it? Their incompetence risks lives.

β€œMr. Trump’s approach to Iran is reckless. His goals are ill-defined. He has failed to line up the international and domestic support that would be necessary to maximize the chances of a successful outcome. He has disregarded both domestic and international law for warfare.”

Opinion | Why Have You Started This War, Mr. President?

The military operation has begun. We wish above all for the safety of the American troops charged w/conducting it & for the well-being of the many innocent Iranians who have long suffered under their brutal government. We lament that Mr. Trump is not treating war as the grave matter that it is.

New Analysis: Trump Connected to Epstein through Rothschild Financial Network The same dynasty that endorsed Jeffrey Epstein in 1987 saved Donald Trump from bankruptcy in 1990. The Epstein files now reveal Epstein was not just a math teacher who became a billionaire.

πŸ’°Let's "Follow the Money" with Zev Shalev and take a peek under the covers at the connections Epstein had with some of the most influential and notorious financial dynasties in Europe - who, BTW, also saved Donald Trump from financial ruin in 1990. πŸ‘‡
