I wonder if the recent release of so many absolutely sick-content Epstein files is a form of Anglo-Zionist blackmail of Trump into starting the war against Iran that they so eagerly want: "Unless you start that war, we'll release far more!"
I heard that idea floated on a recent Ann Barnhardt podcast, and it seems quite plausible.
Our Lady of Guadalupe, Who drove the demons out of Mexico in the 1500s, drive out these modern-day demons! Amen.
One more Demtard crowing about Iran's supposed lack of air defenses, Jake Auchincloss (D- MA):
“Iran really has no domain awareness and no ability to impede, which means that the United States military absolutely can work its will through aerial strikes.” He's in for a rude awakening.
The Congress is obviously woefully uninformed. To be informed and to act on such information on behalf of their constituencies is their job, actually. So are they doing their job? The general public suffers from the same deficiency of information due to a politically bought and paid for press. But that does not absolve the Congress of its responsibilities.
UN Human Rights Office (OHCHR), "Human rights situation in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem" (document reference A/HRC/61/26)
It covers the period from November 1, 2024, to October 31, 2025, based on monitoring by OHCHR and other sources.
It documents serious violations by Israeli forces (and notes violations by Hamas/other Palestinian armed groups), while raising specific alarms about patterns in Gaza and the West Bank.
Key Statements from the Report
On Gaza's humanitarian crisis and living conditions — The conduct of hostilities by Israeli military continued to kill and maim unprecedented numbers of civilians; cause a catastrophic humanitarian crisis; displace virtually the entire population of Gaza (often multiple times); and destroy remaining civilian infrastructure (hospitals, schools, universities, homes, mosques, cultural sites, water/sewage systems, agricultural areas). This imposed conditions of life "increasingly incompatible with [Palestinians'] continued existence in Gaza as a group."
On ethnic cleansing concerns — "Intensified attacks, the methodical destruction of entire neighbourhoods and the denial of humanitarian assistance appeared to aim at a permanent demographic shift in Gaza. This, together with forcible transfers, which appear to aim at a permanent displacement, raise concerns over ethnic cleansing in Gaza and the West Bank."
On starvation and famine — Famine was confirmed in parts of Gaza (e.g., Gaza Governorate in August 2025, projected to spread). At least 463 Palestinians, including 157 children, starved to death during the period. The famine and malnutrition resulted directly from Israeli Government actions, such as blocking entry and distribution of humanitarian aid. Palestinians faced the "inhumane choice of either starving to death or risking being killed while trying to get food."
Using starvation of civilians as a method of war constitutes a war crime. It may also amount to crimes against humanity (if part of a systematic/widespread attack) or genocide (if carried out with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial, or religious group).
The report condemns continued civilian killings/maimings, destruction of infrastructure, and forcible transfers. It also notes violations by Palestinian armed groups (e.g., hostage-holding) and calls for accountability, including urging states (like the US) to halt arms transfers that could facilitate violations.

Thanks very much for the "play by play," Mark. It really is nerve wracking and puts me in mind of what my grandparents must have gone through in reading and clipping newspaper stories during the last Great War, to track the well being of their sons in Europe and the Pacific. Of course now news comes by the minute and hour rather than by the day and week.
This is certainly good news if the U.S. has been straightforward with Badr, who I presume to be an earnest and trusting mediator, as per his profession. But who can depend on the U.S. these days? I guess we shall see further evidence for or against that, likely shortly.
Listened just once through to the Tucker-Huckabee talk.
Tucker allows himself to be drawn down rabbit holes, and Huck. is adept at such diversions. (Can't fault Carlson: he keeps a lot in mind, under pressure, has to be polite not confrontational.)
HOWEVER:
1. Huck. said
"here’s the point. We’re talking about Christian Zionism — the idea that, **as a Christian, I believe in both the Old and the New Testament. Why wouldn’t I? I’m a person of the book.** There are 80 million evangelical Christians in the United States. What makes us who we are is our adherence to the scripture, **our belief that the Bible — all of it, not part of it, but all of it — is the word of the living God.**
So Huck. as a Christian BELIEVES in "ALL" of the bible, but believes that god gave the land to ONLY the Jews.
How does that work?
Effectively, the Bible is a deed to the land.
If it's your book, then it's your land.
If it's not your land, then how can you say to "believe in ALL of the bible, not part of it?"
Does that mean it's not true to say it's your book?
If god gave the land to ONLY Jews, how can he be a universal god?
What does it mean to be "of the children of Abraham?"
Has Huck. voiced a worldwide religious crisis?
2. Huck. harped on "right to exist." Distracted to ' do other states have right to exist.'
I wish that instead of returning to the SIZE of god's land-grant, Carlson had asked,
"Was that an EXCLUSIVE right? Do ONLY JEWS have the right to live on that land?"
Huck named the Balfour as legitimizing the land-grant, but Balfour specifically says,
"It being clearly undrstood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine ..."
In USA, multiple religious and ethnic groups have a RIGHT to live in USA.
(Huck claimed Jews have right to Israel because they've been there 3800 years. Persians have been on their land even longer. Similarly for Egyptians. And Germans. And Syrians. And Italians. Why do Jews harass them on THEIR land?)
Carlson pursued a useful line when he questioned, "If Israel violates the [institutions that you say] legitimate their claim to the land, do they forfeit the land?" Because clearly they have.
The premise that the Bible is about a promise of an inheritance of land and worldly power to the (self-proclaimed) Jews of the modern day state of Israel is entirely mistaken. That is clear from God's word in the New Testament. Rather, God's Word is about the promise of eternal life for those who repent of their sins, are baptized, and believe in His son, Jesus, as the savior and redeemer of humanity - a humanity who had rejected God by its actions back in the Garden but now has a road to forgiveness. "He shall crush your head" doesn't prophecy Netanyahu defeating Iran but rather the Son of God defeating Satan.
I've been reading Richard Foltz, Assoc. Prof. of Religion at Concordia U., Montreal: Spirituality in the Land of the Noble. Under the caption, Zoroastrianism's contribution to other religions, Foltz wrote:
"The concept of an all-powerful Creator god who is purely good, the personification of evil in an opposing being, the resurrection of the body after death, the judgment of the dead on the basis of their deeds while living, ... appeared in Zoroastrianism first, and only later in other religions ... ideas that other religions acquired directly or indirectly from Zoroastrianism."
Mary Boyce wrote the benchmark explanation of Zoroastrianism. It's lengthy and dense.
My thumbnail understanding of Zoroastrianism is basic, and I remind myself of it constantly:
Well, its 5:30 here in NH so we're just waiting for the blizzard to make its way up the I-95 corridor and WW3. The perfect storm. Not surprised that Tulsi would oppose but encouraged about JD Vance, especially if he becomes President if Trump is impeached and removed from office.
I expect Tulsi and JD are casting a "no" vote the same way a Democrat running for election in a contesed district will vote with Republicans in Congress, or a Republican will vote with Democrats. JD's handlers are trying to keep his hands unbloodied for 2028.
I just read somewhere that ALL the countries or people who listened to T's bucket of bullshit at the Gaza meeting have left the group. It was a total hallucination, talking about the fantastic success of Melania's movie, etc. Luckily for them no-one shelled out the billion yet.
Someone has to have the courage to send for the little green van for this maniac before he blows up the world.
So it will be Iran's fault for being attacked. The public will be told that 'The mighty US had to squash Iran, because Iran refused to not make nuclear weapons. Donald Trump saved the world from nuclear bombs and missiles shooting out of the terrorist mothership that is Iran.'
p.s. To the Trump-believers you may know: Iran has uranium for medical purposes. Also, the production and use of nuclear weapons are forbidden under Islamic law.
I watched snippets of Tucker's interview with Mike Huckabee, and it had Tucker cracking up over Mike's responses, especially the one mentioned in Mark's post. I worry about any person in 2026 that uses the bible or any other religious text to guide their current actions. Tucker must actually read the bible because he tore Mike apart.
If you think about it deeply, Mike exposed who's behind the upcoming attack on Iran - it's all about Israel. The US gains nothing. The deep fissures within the MAGA cult will become much worse with Trump attacking Iran. The anti-Zionist and anti-Israel crowd will lose their shit:
"This is not American First!!"
And for those who think Trump is compromised by Bibi and Israel, will become more assured of their assessment. Bibi has basically visited Trump every other month in this first year. Do you think Bibi brings a couple of pics with him to show Sleepy Don? That theory is certainly growing with each release of Epstein's files.
Pretty much agree with all Todd is saying, but he's leaving one consideration out: What does Trump believe he is getting? "What am I getting"? is probably Trump's only thought and that's all he's focused on. My opinion is he thinks he's getting 2 things, has weighed his odds and he's all in. 2 things. 1st is the complete destruction of Iran's ability to deliver oil to China. All oil related infrastructure: destroyed in his 2 week war. 2nd to that is he's getting the midterms. He's doing the bidding of the entities controlling elections, he's demanding the midterms in trade for destroying Iran.
(Note that I have a bridge to sell all those who think free and fair elections are going to determine the outcome of the midterms)
I personally doubt there is any compromising evidence in the Epstein files about Trump since it would have come out during the lawfare years after Trump “”lost”” the 2020 election. That said, Trump is clearly controlled by Bibi and the Anglo Zionists through other means so we need to expect and prepare for a WW3.
I hear you, but, and this is a big but, Israel controls both sides of the aisle and has for a long time. Biden didn't run on releasing the Epstein Files because it would expose Mossad, and as Biden stated, he's a Zionist.
Everybody seems to think, and rightfully so, that the Epstein Files are all about Trump and/or Bill Clinton. #nope
The files are about our CIA working with Mossad to use teenage boys and girls as bait to gather kompromat against the global elite. And clearly, Epstein's videocams took lots of film of Trump. Mossad has so much dirt on Trump, he is a controlled puppy dog of Bibi's. Trust me, there is much, much more, than just Trump raping teenage girls and boys. If New Mexico is serious about forming their truth commission, and they do a canine and other tech searches of Zorro Ranch, they will find all kinds of depravity beyond words.
The bottom line of the entire Epstein/Maxell files is to protect Mossad and the CIA. It's pretty obvious that our Intelligence Community told the FBI and other agencies to stand down when it came to Epstein. He was raping kids for how long, while the FBI gathered how much evidence? Millions of files but not one single arrest? ;)
Glory to Jesus Christ, Mark!
I wonder if the recent release of so many absolutely sick-content Epstein files is a form of Anglo-Zionist blackmail of Trump into starting the war against Iran that they so eagerly want: "Unless you start that war, we'll release far more!"
I heard that idea floated on a recent Ann Barnhardt podcast, and it seems quite plausible.

Pleased to confirm US-Iran negotiations are now set for Geneva this Thursday, with a positive push to go the extra mile towards finalizing the deal.
Thanks very much for the "play by play," Mark.

It was very encouraging to see Arab leaders stand on their hind legs, if only to remonstrate with Mike Huckabee.

BREAKING — U.S. gave Iran 48 hours for a detailed Iranian proposal for a nuclear deal or it’s war - Axios.
48 hours puts it right before the state of the union. Ratings buster. All about the ratings I guess.
Everybody comes to watch the premier of the movie... and everybody hates it. How is that good for the box office?
So it will be Iran's fault for being attacked. The public will be told that 'The mighty US had to squash Iran, because Iran refused to not make nuclear weapons. Donald Trump saved the world from nuclear bombs and missiles shooting out of the terrorist mothership that is Iran.'
Read, and send this article to folks:

p.s. To the Trump-believers you may know: Iran has uranium for medical purposes. Also, the production and use of nuclear weapons are forbidden under Islamic law.
Not watching the show. Fortunately those with TDS will provide short video clips on Twitter where Trump’s losing it.
