Amazingly, this CEO previously served a 27-month federal sentence for a 2009 conviction for conspiracy to commit identification document fraud and aggravated identity theft.

"We were giving him (Trump) the benefit of the doubt," Somalian Salman Fiqy said. "The alternative (Kamala Harris) was even worse."

ANY person of color who supports Trump is ultimately going to get their wake-up call as their quest for "honorary whiteness", will ALWAYS fail.

This is the single chart that encapsulates MAGA's fear about the changes occurring in the U.S.

- More than three-quarters of Americans age 72 or older are White, while fewer than half of Americans under the age of 18 are.

- Deaths have passed births among America’s White population.

The U.S. doesn't have enough homes, so the solution is to build more.

Problem? Only 24% of people believe that building more homes in their neighborhood will lower costs.

Modeling agency boss 'retires' after appearing in Epstein files In one of the email exchanges, she asked Epstein when he would be back in New York City and wrote, 'I always want to see you.'

Women, too, were apparently an important part of Jeffrey Epstein's orbit.

Remarkable that Epstein's PR advisors told him to step away from his relationships with the former Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson because they were seen as a "disastrous risk".
