Remember, Epstein was arrested during Trump 1.0. Trump didn’t like what was happening; he clearly put the kibosh on the deep state’s flying brothel of horrors. And though he lacked full control of the #Resisting government, his DOJ was in a position to hoover up every file, hard drive, photo, logbook, and blackmail tape before the story got memory-holed.

Trump may have found himself in possession of a treasure trove of global leverage. Not just over domestic swamp creatures, but royals, technocrats, intel assets, bankers, and foreign politicians. You can imagine the advice he’d have gotten.

Imagine what you might do with all that power.

Maybe Epstein’s death wasn’t about hiding secrets. Maybe it was about ending the operation permanently— like Old West justice in a designer prison jumpsuit. A clear message to anyone thinking about reviving the network.

In this scenario, Trump Always Wins isn’t just a meme. Maybe Trump isn’t always winning because he plays 4-D chess better than his deep state enemies. Maybe he’s successfully draining the Swamp and corralling the European Union because he holds all the trump cards. And maybe this memo release is part of a grand chess move in the bigger Epstein game. Maybe he made some kind of massive deal, and his part of the bargain was to publicly end any further investigation.

Is it the Art of the Deal? Maybe it was something as simple as this:
Whether this scenario comforts or horrifies you depends entirely on how much you trust Trump’s motives and judgment. If the truth were ever revealed —if we could see the full board, the pieces in motion, the stakes— we might even agree the trade was worth it. Or maybe we’d conclude the price was too high.

Because this is Trump we’re talking about, and he never plays just one game at a time or does anything without a reason:

Probability: 35%.

New report denounces Havana and claims ‘campaign of subversion’ has infiltrated highest levels of US government

"...There is overwhelming evidence that the machinery of the Cuban Government has been progressively organized around… a fundamental hatred of the United States,” the report stated. “Many of the most significant upheavals in recent American political history —from the George Floyd riots to the rise of Antifa to the explosion of pro-terrorist activism on American college campuses— can be linked, in some way, shape, or form to Cuban influence.”

The report doesn’t just hand-wave. It names names. It details how the Venceremos Brigade and other “revolutionary tourism” programs have funneled thousands of American activists to Havana for ideological (and sometimes literal) weapons training.

The Venceremos Brigade has brought 10,000 American activists to Cuba since 1969. This is because nothing says “I am fighting for the oppressed working class” quite ...

This guy says it all I fear….

Now there is a plan! Of course dumb Canadians will not have the courage to vote with their brains, instead of their propagandized feelings of fear.

Canada’s economy is stalling badly.

We just endured the worst decade for real GDP growth per person since the Great Depression.

Over the past ten years, real GDP per capita limped along at an average of just 0.6% annually.

And Bloomberg’s consensus forecast for 2026? A paltry 0.7%.

Why does GDP matter?

Because family disposable income follows GDP like a shadow. Anemic economic growth resulting from lower investment means stagnant wages. Period.

The Liberals and fake Conservatives won't fix this.

The People's Party has a comprehensive plan to unleash private investment, supercharge productivity, and put more money back into your pocket:

Make the Accelerated Capital Cost Allowance (ACCA) permanent – Let businesses write off capital investments rapidly and skyrocket cash flow.
End Corporate Welfare – Zero subsidies. Zero bailouts. Zero regional ...
