Trump-a-palooza freak out

Trump’s team is publicly promoting his mid-term “Trump-a-palooza,” but my understanding is that other Republicans are upset. Hearing that this signals his intention for a third term, and ‘28 hopefuls believe this is his way of officially pushing them out.

The best tailgate in town is Brett Kavanaugh’s

Was speaking with the parents of a recent Visitation graduate, and it sounds like Justice Kavanaugh is known for throwing some wild tailgates at his daughter’s games. So much so, that he was asked to tone it down.

Now that she’s graduated, who’s going to get the pregame going?!

Blanche ordered to produce unredacted emails.

This is a big one. Judge Sullivan has just ordered Blanche to produce, in camera (in chambers), the UNREDACTED emails & documents from the Epstein files.

Blanche must also bring documentation supporting his representations that the DOJ’s redactions are what he claims they are.

Let’s see how they try to dodge this one, but this is huge for survivors and for those following this ongoing saga.

Daniel Siad investigation ongoing, despite death

Just because Siad was found dead does not mean the investigation against him is closed. A source tells us the French justice system is still investigating, with a goal to identify all other potential accomplices in this human trafficking and criminal conspiracy ring.

France reopened leads in this case following the release of the Epstein Files by the US. Currently, there’s staff dedicated to going through 1.5 million documents released by the U.S. Department of Justice.

Critically, because the allegations span multiple countries, France is collaborating internationally, and an official request for legal assistance was sent to the US.

We’ll see if the US cooperates . . .

Do you have any plans in place if Trump decides not to leave office?

If President Trump refused to leave office after his term, ignored the law, and encouraged supporters to resist a lawful transfer of power, the United States could face a constitutional crisis and civil unrest. In DC we are ground zero. Localized riots could disrupt supply chains, leading to temporary shortages of food, water, fuel, and medicine in affected areas, while causing economic and political instability.

I am completely concerned about the midterms. Trump just planted the voter corruption seed with his speech that he may use if the Democrats win. The post master stated that the USPS will not be delivering mail in ballots to states that don't comply with Trump's overhaul of the voting system.

Things could get ugly. I hope not. Have you thought about any type of preparation? There are people who are saving up food and water now.
