Epstein Survivor Lisa Phillips: Everyone makes it about Trump and Epstein, but itโ€™s about this whole ring of men. Thatโ€™s what makes me upset, because we know they were there. We saw them. We know there were royalty, princes, very powerful people in academia and tech, and we saw them at parties.

Pete Hegseth is forcing all the generals to gather in Virginia for a mandatory pep rally on military vibes and personal grooming. Mind you, this is the same guy trying to squash female leadership for undermining the warrior spirit.

What kind of nonsense is this? Anyone who has been in business more than a week knows better. Firing people is not good management. Especially if you make that decision without good reason. He should fire himself. Make America great again. Good way to go bankrupt 6 times like President Taco!
