Bill Gates says that he was “foolish” to spend time with Jeffrey Epstein and that he “thought it would help me with global health philanthropy.” Gates spent time with Epstein several times after his 2008 conviction for solicitation of minors for prostitution. Raise your hand if you think it was simple folly.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thanked President Trump for the shipments of 2,000-pound bombs that the Biden administration held up.
“Thank you, President Trump, for keeping your promise to give Israel the tools it needs to defend itself, to confront our common enemies and to secure a future of peace and prosperity,” Netanyahu said in this video address.
Last May, the Biden administration paused shipments of the bombs over concerns over attacks on civilians in Rafah. According to Axios, “1,800 MK-84 bombs, which were held in storage in the U.S., will be put on a ship and delivered to Israel in the coming days.”
President Trump said on Truth Social that these “were ordered and paid for by Israel.”
Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of State issued a memo halting aid to Ukraine but Ukrainian President Zelensky says that is not true and that U.S. aid “has been stopped.”

This weekend, Colombia denied landing to two U.S. military planes carrying deportees with criminal records from the United States. This pissed off President Trump and he issued this threat of severe tariffs, travel bans and strict border inspections.
The Colombian President Gustavo Petro talked tough on X but the White House says that they agreed to take back their migrants and may have even offered their own planes but Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that he “authorized flights and provided all needed authorizations and then canceled his authorization when the planes were in the air.”
President Petro says that his problem is how they arrive, “handcuffed and on military aircraft.” So how would he like them? These are people who are accused of crimes. Might I suggest that he watch 1993 version of The Fugitive?
President Petro says that Colombia has tried to stop the migration of its people to the U.S. but blamed the blockade of Venezuela for the migrant crisis. Mexico has accepted at least four flights of migrants. The President of Honduras, Xiomara Castro, said thatif there is “unnecessary reprisals against our migrants, we would have to reconsider a change in our military cooperation policies with the USA — for decades they’ve maintained military bases on our soil without paying a cent.”
40-50. That is how many members of the Tren de Aragua gang were arrested in Denver, Colorado this weekend at a pop-up club, many of them illegal migrants. The DEA said that they uncovered “drugs, money, and weapons, including a drug known as ‘pink cocaine.'” Gang members posted about the party on social media and the DEA took that as an invitation!
Four. That is how many women say that they were sexually assaulted by a trans-identified man while he was staying at a women’s shelter in Canada. Police are looking for him.
25 pounds. That was the weight of a hammer that killed a spectator this weekend at a high school track and field meet at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs. One of the athletes threw the hammer in competition and it struck a man in the stands. It was a track hammer, not the tool called hammer.
The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has concluded that Covid-19 most likely emerged from a lab leak. Way to catch up!
The CIA joins the FBI and the Energy Department in assessing that coronavirus came from a lab leak out of Wuhan China where we now know that our own National Institute of Health was funding gain of function research.
“CIA assesses with low confidence that a research-related origin of the COVID-19 pandemic is more likely than a natural origin based on the available body of reporting,” an agency spokesman said in a statement.
It is worth remembering two things:
Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, purposely tried to discourage research that indicated that Covid came from a lab leak;
People were maligned for saying this during the pandemic.
The statement does not say WHICH lab the virus may have leaked from. There is evidence that it could have leaked from a U.S. lab but China still refutes this finding. A spokesman for the Chinese Embassy in Washington said this: “We firmly oppose the politicization and stigmatization of the source of the virus, and once again call on everyone to respect science and stay away from conspiracy theories.”
Transgender Prison Swaps

Trump opponents are really upset that trans-identified men are being moved out of women’s prisons due to this executive orderbecause they will lose protections from the Prison Rape Elimination Act. They say that moving them to men’s prisons will put them at risk for assault by fellow men.
They never seem to worry about the women who are housed with trans men, even though many of the men are convicted rapists. A trans person may be at a higher risk of rape than other men but they are not a higher risk of rape than real women. Who are we calling the most vulnerable here? It’s weird, right?
The executive order prevents the federal government from paying for sex change operations and cross-sex hormones. Bradley/Chelsea Manning transitioned on the government’s dime while he was imprisoned by the Obama administration.
