Here is my conclusion after sitting through Maxwell's deposition with her refusing to answer a single question about the men who raped underage girls, saying she would only do so for clemency.

She must immediately be sent back to the maximum security prison where she belongs.

Trump told Palm Beach police chief โ€˜everyoneโ€™ knew about Epstein, Maxwell was โ€˜evilโ€™ The new information comes as Ghislaine Maxwell was summoned to appear Monday before a Congressional committee.

Trump, who says he had "no idea" at the time that Epstein sexually molested girls, told the police in 2006 that "everyone has known heโ€™s been doing this.โ€ That's according to an FBI interview with the then-Palm Beach police chief.
Here's a gift link to Julie K. Brown's article in the Miami Herald.

People can have very high-clocked brains and still not be very smart. Or, maybe, naive. Turned out to be bots imitating social media activity that they'd learned from humans. And fakes. www.technologyreview.com/2026/02/06/1...

ยซ1st, distrust everything you see in search engines. Assess what they return critically, particularly anything thatโ€™s promoted. Itโ€™s promoted for a reason, & thatโ€™s money, so before you click on any link ask how thatโ€™s trying to make money from you.ยป

Linus Torvalds keeps his โ€˜fingers and toesโ€™ rule by decreeing next Linux will be version 7.0 But first, kernel 6.19 is upon us, with many goodies Penguin emperor Linus Torvalds has announced the next version of the Linux kernel will be version 7.0, a matter of some small interest, because it continues his convention of not using version numbers he canโ€™t count on his fingers and toes, and perhaps cements a numbering convention that sees kernel series end with version 19.โ€ฆ
