The Winter Olympics think they’ve finally solved “penis-gate." That is the scandal where ski jumpers were caught using suits with extra crotch material for an aerodynamic boost. The fix? Mandatory 3D body scans, microchips sewn into suits, and even yellow and red cards for offenders. Nothing says elite sport like officials policing the athletes' private parts!

Lead: Why the Iran Talks Will Fail Before They Begin

U.S. delegates will meet in Oman on Friday to discuss a nuclear agreement with Iran. Heading into the talks, Washington has quietly moved the goalposts.
For months, the stated position of the Trump administration has been to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. Now, Secretary of State Marco Rubio says Iran must also be barred from possessing ballistic missiles.
You see what’s happening.
This is no longer a nuclear nonproliferation discussion. It’s a disarmament demand and one that no sovereign nation in Iran’s position would ever accept. They have been attacked THREE times in the last year. Twice by Israel and once by the U.S. Why in the world would they ever give up all weapons?
A kindergartener can see what is going on here. When the conditions of success change mid-negotiation, you're never going to win. Even if Iran were to concede on enrichment, inspections, or stockpiles, it wouldn't satisfy the Trump administration or the Israeli government.
So we should expect this meeting to fail, mostly because the Western side is irrational.
Bloating, gut issues, or post-meal discomfort? Meet Cowboy Colostrum.
Even when you eat clean, slow down, and stay active, sometimes your gut just won’t cooperate. That’s where colostrum—nature’s original “liquid gold”—comes in.
Cowboy Colostrum is made in the USA from 100% American grass-fed cows and sourced from the first milking, after the calves have had their fill. It’s left whole and full-fat—never over-processed—so it stays rich in proteins, growth factors, and natural peptides that:
• Repair and balance your gut lining
• Reduce inflammation and bloating
• Support immunity and overall vitality
Add a single 3g scoop to your coffee or smoothie in Chocolate, Madagascar Vanilla, or Strawberry—all made with real, organic ingredients. And yes, the same nutrients that support your gut also help your hair and skin glow.
A healthier gut, better mornings, and clearer skin—straight from the source.
Epstein’s Network Walks Free

Will there be consequences for people involved with Jeffrey Epstein? The Trump administration has indicated that there won't be. Their line is: it's not illegal to be gross on email with a registered sex offender.
That may be true but is it illegal to kill someone? Because someone indicated that may have done that in one email. Is it illegal to torture someone? Because someone other than Epstein admitted to doing that. Is it illegal to take off someone's head after you're done with them? Because Epstein alluded to that in this email with another man who agrees. He also reiterated that he really, really doesn't like Black women yet again in this email. Is it illegal to plan to kill off all poor people as Epstein and others did together? There's gotta be a law against that, right? Is it illegal to offer up a 9 year-old Brazilian girl because someone did that TO Epstein.
Then there’s the matter of those who were openly friendly with Epstein and continue to face no professional fallout.
UCLA professor Mark Tramo advised Epstein on research that would get "newborns [to] suck on a pacifier more vigorously." He is still teaching at the university but will reportedly not have his contract renewed after this awesome lady pitched a fit on campus.
Deepak Chopra issued this apology with the comments turned off.
CBS News has reportedly decided not to part ways with longevity expert Peter Attia because of his lewd exchanges, although the Los Angeles Times reports that they probably won't ever put him on the air.
And the head of CBS News, Bari Weiss, probably made that decision because her wife was also chummy with Epstein.
Weiss' wife Nellie Bowles emailed Epstein while she was at The New York Times and emails show her arranging to meet at his house. She responded to this saying that she was just looking to write a profile piece. Her explanation strains credulity. He was a known sex offender at this time. She says her colleagues encouraged her to go alone to his house because they regularly used him as a source. Also, she was a technology reporter. I've been a New York City technology reporter too. That's not the beat.
So…the elites are getting away with it. For now.
We can’t control whether the government chooses to excuse this. But we can control our response. This feels like a collective test of compliance. If public outrage fades and we return to business as usual, we tacitly grant permission for the next phase of evil.
How can we live knowing that people like this still hold power? What will we do about it?

Did you miss our live show on Wednesday? It was a doozy! Long-time conspiracy researcher David Icke joined us to discuss the long history of Satanic pedophile cults and why Epstein is just one small piece of that puzzle. It was an honor to have him and boy oh boy does he deserve a victory lap!
What's Trending?

Pizza Hut is trending on news that the company will close 250 "underperforming" stores. That funny Tom Brady commercial hasn't moved the needle yet?? Give it time.
Chris Harrison is trending because the former host of The Bachelor put out a casting call for a new reality show about "traditional marriage." The comments are hilarious. People are really triggered by the term "traditional marriage." It's one thing to not want a "traditional marriage." It's quite another to be upset that other people might.
Kpop Demon Hunters is trending because toymakers Mattel and Hasbro announced that they are making dolls and action figures of characters from the movie. I think they're a little late. My daughters were over that trend by Halloween.
