Trump Says China Will ‘Eliminate The Stanley Cup’ In Rant Against Canada – newsweek.com
President Donald Trump lashed out at Canada in a lengthy social media post, warning that China would “eliminate the Stanley Cup” if Ottawa deepens ties with Beijing, while accusing the country of unfair trade practices and exploiting the United States.
And in news of what could be the first time a U.S. Senator has awakened from a 7 year coma:
GOP senator who downplayed Epstein files now concedes they’re a ‘big deal’ – alternet.org
One of the biggest Republican skeptics about the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) mountain of evidence pertaining to convicted child predator Jeffrey Epstein is now admitting she understated their importance.
The Daily Beast reported Tuesday that Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.) recently told journalist Pablo Manriquez that she has since come around to the fact that seeking justice for Epstein’s victims through publishing the Epstein files is a worthy cause. She observed that her attitude changed after hearing that some of the victims were as young as nine years old.
“I’ve not been one of the members who has glommed on to this as an issue,” said Lummis, who is not running for reelection in 2026. “I’ve sort of intentionally deferred to others to find out about it. But 9-year-old victims … wow.”
“Initially, my reaction to all this was, ‘I don’t care. I don’t see what the big deal is.’ But now I see what the big deal is,” Lummis continued. “The members of Congress who were pushing this were not wrong.”
Ah, most Americans creed…”I don’t care.”
I just checked, and as impossible it may be to believe, none of the pond scum mentioned in the files (one of them getting a million mentions, betcha you can’t name who) are being investigated. Of course why would they? They’ve got really important things to do each day to make America great again.
Isn’t it quite the badge of honor to be the country where total degenerates are in charge?
But not to worry, the Agent of Chaos appears to be ramping up the war machine, turbo style, in hopes that all this Epstein stuff will be buried for as long as possible.
