Gotta wait for the boomers and some of their children to die off i suppose. I sorta jest. We've had two administrations freeze up about releasing this stuff. On one hand they might just be trying to save themselves or their buddies from embarrassment. On the other, who knows!
Look how long it took for the stuff about Kennedy to come out and we still don’t have the entire story.

Absolutely unbelievable that nothing is being done here to investigate further presumably due to fear and/or being paid off.



Group Urges Zorro Ranch Investigators to Review Cases of 100+ Female Bodies - People's TribuneView attachment 3063023

I'm not sure why this is being connected to Epstein's Zorro Ranch. From what I can tell, no bodies have been found there, most of the bodies recovered were around 250 miles from his ranch, and all the bodies recovered appear to be those of immigrants coming in along known routes for illegal entry. This appears to be totally related to illegal immigration and likely sex trafficking or drug trafficking. It absolutely needs to be thoroughly investigated and the culprits found if possible, though when you're dealing with the cartels, coyotes and mules moving back & forth across the border, criminal activity, people with no papers or ID, and etc., that may be impossible to do. Definitely a bad situation. Those were all someone's daughters.

“Two administrations freeze up.”

I trust you mean Trump 45 and Trump 47.

Why would support go down?
Markets up, crime down, support for Iranian conflict, a lot to like if you aren’t consumed by hysteria.


It’s hysterical that you can’t blame Biden anymore for the fact that you have to pay $5.79 a gallon for diesel.

It's really not the same. Previous administration had crazy inflation, no doubt. But what actually fueled it?

Historically low unemployment.

Strong job growth.

High GDP.

Post pandemic supply chain issues, high oil prices, Putin's invasion of Ukraine effects on Europe.

Also caused by the American Rescue Plan. The economic benefits to this (growth) vs the consequences of inflation are debatable with some good arguments for both benefits and consequences. Of course, GOP managed to frame the entire topic on inflation. Fine.

We are experiencing higher now than when Biden left office. Of course, it had been coming down. Now, it's not. So, what's fueling it?

Historically low unemployment? No, unemployment is higher today than when Biden left.

Strong job growth? No, Biden averaged 300,000 jobs per month. Trump is averaging under 30,000 jobs per month.

High GDP? No, US GDP was just 0.5% for Q4 2025.

Tariffs? Yes.

War with Iran? Yes.

So, what are we, the people, getting out of this? We're paying more for what? Under Biden, you could at least point to some positive contributing factors. I know what Trump's getting out of it. The deficit is skyrocketing despite the tariff increases on Americans, and I have no idea what Americans are getting out of it.

Who wouldn't support this...

I know many have lost their voice here, if it’s because you don’t understand how this works or the scale, then let me simplify it for you - it’s like Hunter Biden taking his career earnings from his paintings and gambling 76x of it with insider knowledge. Now, yes I’m sure many will be sure to rush in here and go “well thems politicians are all rootin tootin scammers!” but this is at a scale that would make Pelosi and Hunter Biden look like financial simpletons.

Lost voice?

Prosecute whoever did it. Pretty sure all here dislike and condemn fraud. Except those who enjoyed the US sponsoring sex change operations in Accra.

Genuinely not sure what would make you have that as a takeaway
well, we just unilaterally extended a ceasefire after the Iranians told us to shove it and none of our war aims have been met and a massive problem for us that didn't exist prior to the war is now looking increasingly like a permanent source of revenue for the Iranians.

Really strange that those opposed to the war are complaining that the ceasefire has been extended. Seems it's good thing to try to get a negotiated outcome instead of bombing the crap out of everything. Even if one side doesn't like the proposals.

I think that the "left" is objecting to the "extension" of the closed strait. You are correct that some of the "right" is objecting to the extension and would prefer heavy bombing.

Complaining totally misreads my point.

I’d rather us lose a stupid war than waste lives and treasure fighting it. So I’m glad it’s becoming clear that Trump has no appetite for continuing this and that the idiot warmongers like Hegseth are starting to lose influence.

But I’m not going to pretend that starting the fight in the first place wasn’t a catastrophic mistake.

You’re confusing mockery for complaining. People are mocking Trump and this administration for how incompetent they are. This is example 20 in a string of Trump making ridiculous demands, setting a deadline 2 weeks or days away, and they balking like a chicken when his demands aren’t met.

I read this totally differently. And I am, and have been against this, yet holding out to see how this ends. The amount of TDS people have created a desire that, whatever happens, they'd love to see Trump lose (in any form). It is not about America; it is only about Trump.

To me, an unacceptable take.
