While we are procrastinating over the net zero question, the US House of Representatives has just passed a law that bans future presidents from banning hydraulic fracturing in order to guarantee America's energy supply. DRILL BABY, DRILL! https://defdeal.com/banned-republican-controlled-u-s-house-of-representatives-passes-bill/

Hold that thought. I am having a disagreement with my fund at the moment. I will withhold comment until it is resolved.

BREAKING: New Ukraine “peace plan” leaks — and it reads like Putin dictated it directly to Trump. If you ever wanted to see what happens when the United States and Russia sit down and sketch out the future of Ukraine without Ukraine — and without Europe — the leaked 28-point “peace plan” making the rounds in Kyiv is your answer. And buckle up, because this document isn’t a peace plan. It’s a hostage negotiation written by the hostage-taker. According to Ukrainian media, this Frankenstein treaty was drafted by top U.S. officials with Russian input and approved by Donald Trump — and it reads like the Kremlin’s Amazon wish list wrapped in an American flag. Ukraine’s input? Europe’s input? Apparently optional! Democracy is so 2012. The plan opens with polite diplomatic wallpaper — “Ukraine’s sovereignty will be confirmed” — before immediately carving Ukraine’s sovereignty up like a Thanksgiving turkey. It hands Russia Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk on a silver platter and freezes two more regions in place like they’re leftover pierogi. Ukraine doesn’t just lose territory; it gets told to amend its Constitution to promise it will never join NATO again. NATO, in turn, has to amend its own founding documents to slam the door shut forever. Oh — and Russia promises it probably won’t invade anyone else. “It is expected” they will behave. Expected! As if Putin is a toddler who “is expected” not to color on the walls again. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian military — currently fighting for its survival — gets capped at 600,000 troops, because nothing says “peace” like forcing the invaded nation to disarm while the invader keeps the keys to three stolen provinces. But don’t worry — the U.S. will give Ukraine a “security guarantee” as long as Kyiv promises not to invade Russia or launch missiles at Moscow “without cause.” Yes, you read that correctly: Ukraine is warned not to invade the country that invaded Ukraine. In exchange for swallowing all this, Ukraine gets dangled $200 billion in reconstruction money — half of which the U.S. literally profits from. America gets 50% of the profits from rebuilding the cities Putin bombed to rubble. It’s like an insurance scam, except the arsonist gets invited to the ribbon-cutting. And the cherry on top? Russia gets complete amnesty. Everyone. Every war criminal. Every torturer. Every kidnapper. Everyone. All forgiven, all protected, all welcomed back into the “global economy.” They even get a ticket back into the G8 as if nothing happened. It is a peace plan written with the moral clarity of a money-launderer’s tax return. The Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant? Split 50/50. Frozen Russian assets? Partly handed back through a U.S.–Russia investment fund. Education policies? Ukraine must teach “tolerance,” because apparently the country invaded by its neighbor is the one with the empathy problem. Ukraine must hold elections — in 100 days — while fighting a war, hosting displaced families, and surrendering territory. Because what could possibly go wrong? And at the end of this geopolitical circus? Donald J. Trump chairs the “Peace Council.” Yes, the man who cannot mediate an argument between his own lawyers gets put in charge of enforcing a continent-wide peace agreement between nuclear states. This isn’t a peace plan. It’s not even a surrender. It’s a clearance sale where Ukraine pays the bill, Russia gets the merchandise, and the U.S. gets a corporate partnership out of it. The only accurate title for this document is the one Ukrainian commentators already suggested: “The Aristocrats.” Because only a truly deranged diplomatic performance could end with Russia rewarded, Ukraine disarmed, Europe blindsided, American companies cashing in, war crimes erased, and Donald Trump sitting on a golden throne labeled “Peacekeeper.” If this is the plan, then the world doesn’t need negotiators. It needs a fire alarm.

Tiffany — the only child of Trump and his second wife, Marla Maples — received her undergraduate degree at the University of Pennsylvania, her father's alma mater, before attending Georgetown, where she graduated in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic in May 2020. Because of this, the graduation ceremony was canceled— and despite acknowledging the Covid pandemic, Trump bizarrely claimed in his speech that the cancellation had something to do with the fact that she is his daughter. "Her graduation got canceled because of Covid, but I say if her name was something else, they probably wouldn't have canceled it," the president claimed.

Further to the donation to Kushner's business: Addressing an audience of business leaders during the US-Saudi Investment Forum at the Kennedy Center, Trump announced Prince Mohammed has vowed to invest $1 trillion in America — an increase from his original $600 billion pledge he suggested in the Oval Office on Tuesday.

The Trump family's net worth has nearly doubled since the 2024 election, reaching an estimated $10 billion as of September 2025, with the patriarch Donald Trump's fortune increasing by $3 billion in a single year, largely driven by cryptocurrency ventures. This surge is attributed to a flurry of business deals, including the launch of meme coins, real estate projects, and partnerships with foreign firms, particularly in the Middle East.

BREAKING: Donald Trump calls for Democratic members of Congress to be executed in a jaw-dropping Truth Social meltdown as his presidency circles the drain. This man must be removed from office immediately! "The President of the United States of America just called for the death of Democratic lawmakers. This man is sick in the head," California Governor Gavin Newsom wrote on X, attaching a screenshot of a post from Trump. The post in question reads "SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!" and followed a string of reposts from Trump of deranged remarks from MAGA social media users. One of the posts that Trump shared read "HANG THEM GEORGE WASHINGTON WOULD !!" The demands for execution were in response to an article in the right-wing Washington Examiner entitled: "Democratic veterans in Congress urge service members to refuse unspecified unlawful orders." The piece reported that six Democratic veterans in Congress have released a video calling on U.S. military members to disobey unlawful orders. In it, Senator Elissa Slotkin, Senator Mark Kelly, and Representatives Jason Crow, Maggie Goodlander, Chris Deluzio, and Chrissy Houlahan stated that "threats to our Constitution" are coming "from right here at home." There is absolutely nothing seditious about the video and in fact U.S. service members are expected and required to disobey illegal orders. They swore an oath to uphold the Constitution, not to blindly serve the president. With Trump deploying increasingly fascist masked enforces domestically while gearing up for war in Venezuela, it's crucial that our military members stand strong for the rule of law. In another post, Trump wrote: "This is really bad, and Dangerous to our Country. Their words cannot be allowed to stand. SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR FROM TRAITORS!!! LOCK THEM UP??? President DJT." Again, there is nothing illegal about reminding the military to uphold the law. The only possible reason that Trump would get upset about this is that he intends to or already has delivered illegal orders to our troops. Republicans love to whine about "left-wing violence" but remain silent when their cult leader literally calls for the killing of his political enemies. Trump is a cornered animal, battered by the Epstein scandal and his own accelerating cognitive decline. He's a danger to himself, to us, and to the entire world. It's time for Congress to step in and remove him from office.

BREAKING: Mark Epstein drops a political nuke about the Epstein files — and Republicans are scrambling to hide the fallout. In a stunning turn that should have every American’s hair on fire, Jeffrey Epstein’s brother, Mark Epstein, just detonated a bombshell on live television — and the fallout is already singeing the Republicans’ frantic scramble to look innocent. While House Republicans pretended to “flip” in favor of releasing the Epstein files — after weeks of blocking, delaying, and twisting arms to stop the release — Mark Epstein is calling their bluff. And it’s not pretty. According to Mark, Republicans aren’t suddenly embracing transparency. They’re scrubbing the files — sanitizing them, bleaching them, running them through a political spin-cycle — and then releasing whatever sanitized leftovers make it out alive. That’s right. The full files are allegedly being secretly edited right now at a “facility” in Winchester, Virginia, where GOP operatives are working overtime to delete Republican names before the public ever sees them. You can practically hear the shredders running. And the motive? Mark Epstein says it outright — his brother “definitely had dirt on Trump,” and the emails prove it. For anyone paying attention, this tracks perfectly with Donald Trump's frantic, erratic behavior: first blocking the release of the files, then pressuring Republicans not to sign the discharge petition… only to suddenly flip and demand they sign it. A guilty conscience moves exactly like that. During his interview with News Nation’s Chris Cuomo, Mark Epstein made it clear he doesn’t care about the political fallout — because he is focused on the most important truth of all: Jeffrey Epstein did not kill himself. And according to him, the “investigation” that declared it a suicide was never a real investigation at all. Mark didn’t mince words. He accused FBI Director Kash Patel of covering up the real cause of Epstein’s death. He even mocked Patel’s audacity, saying the man “wouldn’t know a suicide if it punched him in the face.” This is not a grieving brother grasping at straws. This is a man who says he has sources, documentation, and a mountain of unanswered questions — and that the DOJ’s own reports prove the government never even conducted a homicide-capable investigation. But what really set off air raid sirens across MAGA-world was Mark confirming — repeatedly — that Jeffrey Epstein had kompromat on Donald Trump. He wouldn’t detail the infamous “Bubba” email, but he said this: “Jeffrey told me if he said what he knew about the candidates in 2016, they’d have to cancel the election. He definitely had dirt on Trump.” And not a single Republican wants to talk about THAT part. Instead, they’re busy pretending their sudden push to release the files is some patriotic crusade for the truth — when, according to Mark Epstein, they’ve already gutted the documents. It’s like bragging about turning over your phone to investigators… after wiping it with industrial bleach. And it gets worse. Mark also suggests that Trump received special treatment from Ghislaine Maxwell — that her unusually glowing comments about him were part of a deal. Even Maxwell’s own lawyer hinted she got a "sweet" arrangement. Funny how Trump always seems to land on his feet whenever the world’s worst scandals emerge — almost like someone is protecting him. Republicans spent years telling America that “Democrats were the ones tied to Epstein.” But now, when the receipts are about to come due, they’re caught in a full-blown panic, allegedly stripping their own names out of the files before the public sees them. And the people doing the editing? Trump loyalists. MAGA loyalists. The same crowd that just voted 427-1 — after weeks of sabotage — to release the files as long as they got to edit them first. Mark Epstein didn’t just point a finger — he pointed to a map, a building, and a motive. And the GOP’s sudden tactical retreat only makes them look guiltier. America wanted transparency. Republicans gave us a dry-cleaned crime scene. Stay tuned — because if the sanitized files look this bad, imagine what was removed.

BREAKING: Mary Trump exposes her Uncle Donald after his "quiet, piggy" moment by revealing exactly where his "despicable" misogyny comes from — and it explains so much. Nobody spills the beans quite like family does... "Donald's misogyny runs deep and is actually honestly come by because his entire family was a bunch of misogynists," Mary Trump said on her Youtube channel. "I want to remind you just how in character all this is by showing you a montage of clips from MSNBC. And I also, also while watching it, I want you to pay particular attention to the reactions Donald gets." She then played a montage that included Trump being confronted about calling women "fat pigs, dogs, slobs and disgusting animals," a recording of him implying that Megyn Kelly mistreated him because she was menstruating, and him stating that he "never liked horse face." In one segment, he talked about a woman gaining a "massive amount of weight," in another he insulted a woman who accused him of sexual assault by saying "Believe me, she would not be my first choice." Mary Trump's video was prompted by Trump snapping "quiet, piggy" at a female reporter on Air Force One after she dared to ask him about Jeffrey Epstein. "Aside from the grotesque reactions of the people in those crowds," Mary Trump said, referring to the MAGA supporters at his rallies, "which quite frankly explains a lot about how we got here, Donald is admitting something very openly there as he has at other times." "He actually is admitting that he would totally rape a woman, just not somebody who looks like that. Essentially, he's saying he would only rape women he finds attractive," she continued. "I grew up with him. I grew up with these people so again, none of this is surprising," she went on. "What remains surprising to me, even though I shouldn't be surprised by this either I suppose, is that the American people are still willing to put up with his dehumanization of women, his treating them like second class citizens, and the contempt he so obviously has for half of the population." "In the Trump family, girls had no value. Donald's oldest sibling Maryanne was a girl," she said. "My grandfather never once considered her a viable option for taking over the family business that would have been my dad, his oldest son friend. That didn't work out but the next oldest Elizabeth would never have been considered either. So therefore, it fell to Donald who is not only incompetent and unskilled, he was just a terrible, terrible businessman. And my grandfather knew it but what mattered more was that he wasn't a woman. Clearly, Trump inherited his hatred of women from his corrupt, detestable father. This president sees women as sexual objects to be insulted, abused, and discarded. The fact that so many s-called "Christians" support him despite his complete lack of morals tells you everything that you need to know about the religious right in this country. Please like

It's all been/being sanitized. Set up so the House will release, but block in the Senate. EXCLUSIVE PREVIEW: the Epstein files after Trump’s sudden call to release them

BREAKING: Speaker Mike Johnson reveals the REAL reason why Trump suddenly "supports" the release of the Epstein files — and it's as sinister as we suspected. They really don't want us to see what's in those files... "So what am I to do in a situation like this? I call my counterpart in the Senate, Leader Thune and I talked through this with him and shared our deep concerns and of course they share those concerns as well," Johnson said at a press conference. "And so I'm very confident that when this moves forward in the process if and when it is processed in the Senate — which there is no certainty that that will be — that they will take the time methodically to do what we have not been allowed to do in the House," said Johnson. "To amend this discharge petition and to make sure that these protections are there. The authors of the discharge did not allow us to do that here, that's the rules here but in the Senate they can correct it." Translation: Republicans are going to bury this bill in the Senate. Yesterday, Trump surprised many Americans by stating that he would sign the bill to release the Epstein files if it hits his desk. Now we know why. He doesn't expect it to ever reach him. Johnson claims to be worried that an immediate release of the files will endanger the privacy and wellbeing of Epstein's victims. It's a shamelessly self-serving lie because many of the victims have long supported the release and have even held multiple press conferences demanding it. During the presser, one reporter even pointed out to Johnson that the bill specifically states that "the Attorney General may withhold or redact portions related to child sex abuse materials" or anything that jeopardizes federal investigations. Johnson responded by insisting that such protections are not actually in the bill. This man is far too comfortable lying through his teeth. He clearly thinks that his constituents will never hold him accountable. The simple, obvious truth here is that Johnson cares nothing for the victims. He's worried about protecting the leader of his political movement. If Trump goes down as a child predator, every prominent Republican who enabled him will be caught in the political blast radius. Now that the plan is clear, the American public must speak out even more forcefully for transparency. Trump and Johnson were unable to kill the bill in the House because of the bipartisan demand from both the Democratic and Republican bases for the release. In the Senate, with its thinner margins, Republicans may have an easier time blocking the bill. In the same press conference, Johnson doubled down on his transparently false complaints— "Guys we're not making this up," he insisted. "And you can take it to your council at your outlets' offices and have them review it and they'll tell you the same thing. This should have been done in a much more careful matter and it was not." "And I'm going to point out again when the authors were asked to fix it they said they weren't interested in doing that," said Johnson. "Why? Because this is a raw and obvious political exercise. Again, I'm just going to leave it with this question, you should go ask them all. If you were so concerned about the Epstein files and protecting the victims, why didn't you do a darn thing about it for the first years of the Biden administration? All this stuff was sitting in a warehouse and nobody said a word about it, they didn't care. Now, they're doing it. We all know why. Because they're trying to attack President Trump." The bad faith on display here is staggering, even for a fake "Christian" like Johnson. The reason that the files weren't released during the Biden years was because doing so could have jeopardized the ongoing prosecution against Epstein's right-hand woman Ghislaine Maxwell. Now that she's been convicted and the appeals process exhausted, there is no downside to releasing the files.

Stories keep getting weirder and weirder. The latest doing the rounds on the internet is that Melania was Epstein's girlfriend, before she met Donald at Epstein's place, and their first s*x was on Epstein's plane.
