    I can't get past the ridiculousness. What a temper tantrum. Norway a "shit house" country? What will he say next? The earth is flat? This reminds me- (not a reflection on the country if Norway)- "Norway's Crown Princess Epstein ties Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway maintained contact and exchanged hundreds of emails with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein between 2011 and 2014, a relationship that became a major scandal for the Norwegian royal family. Key Details of the Ties • Timeline of Contact: The pair first met in 2011—three years after Epstein's 2008 conviction for child sexual abuse—and remained in touch through 2014. • The Epstein Files: Newly released U.S. Justice Department files contained over a thousand mentions of Mette-Marit, revealing extensive email correspondence, informal conversations, and a 2013 stay at Epstein's Palm Beach, Florida, mansion. • Public Apology & First Interview: After the files surfaced, Mette-Marit publicly apologized for showing poor judgment and failing to research Epstein's background thoroughly. In March 2026, alongside Crown Prince Haakon, she sat down for an interview with Norwegian broadcaster NRK, stating she was "manipulated and deceived" by Epstein, was not aware of his crimes at the time, and felt unsafe during her 2013 Palm Beach visit. • Legal Status: Crown Princess Mette-Marit has not been accused of any criminal wrongdoing.

    @RealPlayer said: I’ve seen reports on MSNOW by lawyers like Marc Elias—and also by state election officials on FB—who say that an immense amount of work has been done to thwart election interference, much of it not announced to the public. I hope so. Me too, but as we saw in Bush II's 2nd stolen election, electronic voting machines can steal elections. I'm not optimistic.

    Following the news that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth fired another Army general this week, a statement shared to media outlets from a Pentagon official said the high-ranking officer had failed polygraph examinations amid an ongoing investigation into alleged leaks of classified information to journalists. The revelation is unusual and raises questions about whether the disclosure violated federal privacy laws. Lt. Gen. Brett Sylvia's ouster from the Joint Staff was first reported by The Atlantic Wednesday evening. Soon after, social media influencers and news outlets, including CBS News, published a statement that said Sylvia failed three polygraph examinations. Some attorneys say the disclosure could run afoul of the Privacy Act of 1974, which generally prohibits federal agencies from releasing personal information maintained in certain government records without the individual's consent or other legal authorization. Polygraph results, which are ordinarily maintained in personnel security or counterintelligence records, are protected under the law. The statement from the official also accused Sylvia of leaking classified information about Iran and the Russia-Ukraine war. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/pentagon-disclosure-fired-general-brett-sylvia-polygraph-privacy-laws/

    @wtg said: And now the rallies are back on.... Why does he put himself out? He's not popular. His rallies are not well attended. He's clearly in poor health. He embarrasses himself whenever he opens his mouth.. He's planning on stealing elections, not winning them. What's the point?

    Oh. My guess was this was about the golf course where Ivana is buried. I got the Trump part right So, reading between the lines-- yes, Trump officials repeatedly deceived the federal judge, and she knows it. About Ivana- talk is (I haven't verified this to any degree of certainly) Trump buried her on the NJ golf course for tax advantages if property used for burial(s). Ghoulish.

    @Daniel It will come crashing down on it's own. And I've read the Dems in congress have no appetite for bailouts.
