I hope this isn’t all they get Shifty on. This seems a bit weak.

The U.S. does pay into NATO’s common budget, which covers shared military infrastructure, strategic assets, and command operations. So some U.S. money does go toward alliance-wide defense capabilities, not just U.S. operations.

Except the United States funds NATO, and it is the largest financial contributor to the alliance.

A TL;DR version:

The passage argues that the apparent closure of the Epstein case is not a defeat or cover-up, but a deliberate strategic move—part of a broader information war designed to mislead opponents and ultimately expose deeper corruption. It claims this tactic mirrors the Durham investigation, which initially seemed like a failure but later led to criminal probes of key intelligence figures. The author sees a pattern: the Trump administration often feigns weakness or retreats to lure opponents into overplaying their hand—only to later reverse the narrative to its advantage.

According to this view, Trump’s seeming indifference and his allies’ public disappointment are calculated moves to stir public interest and bait media and political enemies into calling for disclosures that will ultimately backfire on them. The narrative ends with a provocative claim: that Epstein may still be alive under protection, poised to testify as part of a dramatic reckoning that will expose a global web of elite corruption.

Geez savage. As someone who owned a logistics company where my trucks were left on the side of the road because someone got arrested, I feel the pain of the company owner. That said - at least my guys were legal. Stupid, but legal.

It gets its information from the internet and news sites. News sites lean severely left as we all know. I haven't noticed a change - it's always had lefty output for me.

Until she is not again. She is too much of a flip flopper.

If Americans have to foot the bill then, yes it is a problem. If every country is paying their 5% - its fine. 2035 is unacceptable. They are just waiting Trump out of office.

I did question the motto “By way of deception, thou shalt make war” being their military motto. Apparently it is associated with Mossad, not the IDF. Still applies here but a distinction none the less.

If they just spent their time working on better policies they might have a better approval rating. Trump bad LGBTQ good is not a quality policy as evidenced by the spanking they got in November. Morons never learn.

Coming to say the same. Money is a crucial tool for fulfilling many of the needs at the bottom of Maslow's hierarchy.

I can't find evidence that Hillary supplied Iran with uranium though even if we attribute the Uranium One deal to her. I can only find evidence of the US providing uranium to Iran pre-1979.

I wasn't here when Hobbs was elected so I wasn't completely confident about that one with all the questionable actions that lead to WTF how can this not be fraud especially with her overseeing her own election?

With Gallego though - who the hell voted for him for Senate and Trump for President. That is fishy AF.
