friends and a sordid revolting business.... who cares?....

I can see why people do not care

About the Epstein saga to be aware

They think if they do think which is debatable

about the next meal to place on their table

While some young one prepares for a nose piercing

A tasteful tattoo on the left buttock and a penis ring

Some young girls go for the cheapest make up

At the pharmacy that tells them that down is up

Fashion lips need to be red, black and glossy 

The next favourite song is already a day old

 

Politics are the least of all human’s hobby

Economics annoys everyone young and bold

With cash rates, slithery silver and bullion gold

Making it impossible to afford a shanty

Even share a place with careless tenants

Who can’t even say what are their wants

The world is run by brothel owners we know

Vile debauched degrading disgusting porno

Warmongers and dictators with no morals

psychopaths narcissists and cows with balls

 

News already fading away in the same breath

Of ignorance full and knowledge bereft

Another bombing of Gaza

A Maduro kidnapping

Threat to destroy Cuba

Or an Iranian bombing

Nothing to do with me

Not my responsibility

 

I voted for honesty and decency

I did not get it obviously

What’s next I do not care

Stop telling me to be aware

Our rulers are despicable

On the take under the table

 

News fade into eternity

they took my TikTok friends away

I forgot I don’t even know

The news lie anyhow

At the grocery store

I need food galore

 

And that’s all I care

US President Donald Trump has said he fell out with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein after he "stole" young women who worked at his Mar-a-Lago beach club spa.

The president made the remarks as he returned from Scotland, where he faced more questions over his relationship with the disgraced financier.

"He took people, I say 'don't do it anymore', you know they work for me... beyond that, he took some others," Trump said. "Once he did that, that was the end of him."

It comes as the legal team for Epstein's conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell, indicated she would only testify before Congress on what she knows about the case if she is granted strict legal protections.

Amid public pressure for more disclosures in the Epstein case, a House of Representatives committee subpoenaed Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence, to testify before lawmakers on 11 August.

In a letter obtained by the BBC's US partner CBS, her legal team said she would only do so if granted immunity or pardoned, and provided with questions in advance.

Questions about Trump's relationship with Epstein followed him on to Air Force One on Tuesday, where he was asked to expand on comments he made the previous day in Scotland where he said: "He [Epstein] stole people that worked for me."

Asked if the employees were young women, Trump responded: "the answer is yes", and added that they were hired "out of the spa" he ran.

Trump said that one of them was Virginia Giuffre, who had said she began working at Mar-a-Lago in the summer of 2000, when she was 16.

According to court documents unsealed in 2019, Giuffre alleged she was recruited by Ghislaine Maxwell to give massages to Epstein while she was working at the spa.

Giuffre accused Prince Andrew and Epstein of sexual abuse, allegations they both denied. She died by suicide earlier this year in Australia.

Trump remark's aboard Air Force One are his latest on how he and Epstein's relationship ended.

Last week, the White House said Trump kicked Epstein out of his Mar-a-Lago club "for being a creep".

Pressed on whether there was a discrepancy between the reasons, Trump said: "You know, it's sort of a little bit of the same thing."

Trump and Epstein fell out in the early 2000s, after having been friends for more than a decade.

It also comes amid mounting pressure on Trump officials to release files related to Epstein and growing frustration with the administration's handling of the issue, including its failure to deliver a rumoured "client list". 

Trump had promised to release such files about the well-connected sex offender while campaigning for the presidency last year. But in a memo earlier this month, the justice department and FBI said there was no "incriminating" list.

Last week, the Wall Street Journal reported that Attorney General Pam Bondi informed Trump during a May briefing that his name was among hundreds that appeared in justice department documents related to Epstein. Being named in such files is no confirmation of wrongdoing.

The two were spotted together at parties throughout their friendship. At least two women who had attended those events later came forward with sexual assault allegations against Trump. 

One of them was Jill Harth, who accused Trump in a 1997 lawsuit of forcibly kissing her and fondling her at a Mar-a-Lago event for young women where Epstein was also in attendance, the New York Times reported. Trump denied the allegations and the lawsuit was dropped.

Another woman, model Stacey Williams, accused Trump of groping her after she was brought to Trump Tower in Manhattan by Epstein to greet Trump. The president has also denied her allegations.

Last week, the Wall Street Journal reported that Trump had written a "bawdy" letter to Epstein in 2003 for his birthday. 

It reportedly contained a joking reference that "enigmas never age" and allegedly ended with the words: "A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday - and may every day be another wonderful secret."

Trump has dismissed the article as "fake" and has sued the publication for defamation.

Trump and Epstein reportedly fell out in 2004 over a sought-after Palm Beach oceanfront property that had fallen into foreclosure. Trump ultimately outbid Epstein for the home.

In 2006, Epstein was indicted in Florida for solicitation of prostitution and later pleaded guilty to the charges. He was then arrested in 2019 over federal charges of sex trafficking, and died by suicide in prison before his trial. 

Maxwell is serving a 20-year prison sentence after she was found guilty of helping Epstein sexually exploit and abuse young girls over the course of a decade.

She was subpoenaed by House Oversight chairman James Comer last week to testify before Congress. 

Her lawyers made an appeal for clemency from President Trump, writing that if she "were to receive clemency, she would be willing - and eager - to testify openly and honestly". 

Earlier on Tuesday, a spokesperson for Comer said the Kentucky congressman "will not consider granting congressional immunity for her testimony".

Comer told CNN last week that there were not "many Republicans that want to give immunity to someone that may have been sex trafficking children".

Asked whether he would give clemency to Maxwell, Trump told reporters last week that doing so was within his powers, but that he had "not thought" about it.

monsters.....

 

The monsters no longer hide under the bed.
Let's shout louder; the roar of the bombs cannot be louder than all our voices together.

BY Laura Mercedes Giráldez (Granma)

 

Ali Abu Zour didn't even have time to utter his first word before he was buried. He was three months old and died of hypothermia. Israel's blockade of humanitarian aid entering Gaza is exacerbating the already harsh conditions for survival amidst a brutal winter.

Salman al-Zawarah, 13, and his cousin Mohammed al-Zawarah, 15, were gathering firewood to cook and heat their families when an Israeli drone killed them.

According to UNICEF, more than 100 children have died in the coastal enclave since the ceasefire was declared in October 2025. This is an estimate, according to media reports. The figures "could be higher."

In Kermanshah, three-year-old Milina Asadi and her father were returning from buying milk and medicine when she was shot in the back and killed. An eight-year-old girl from Isfahan, who was also shopping with her family, was shot in the abdomen, chin, and back of the head. Forensic examinations determined that the bullets were of the "Israeli military type."

According to Iranian authorities, armed groups and terrorist elements under the command of Mossad and the United States were responsible.

Legitimizing violence and death in the name of geopolitics is not a fad; it is a constant crime that violates every right and is perpetuated because it is allowed by those who give the orders, those who pull the trigger, and those who remain silent. I once read: "We must be silent when children are sleeping. Not when they are being killed." Let us shout louder; the roar of bombs cannot be louder than all our voices together.

From April 2023 to the present, more than eight million children in Sudan, representing almost half of the 17 million school-age children, have been out of school for some 500 days, in what has become one of the longest school closures in the world, surpassing those recorded during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to media and NGO reports. The fighting has paralyzed education throughout the country. For the children who survive, what future awaits them: devastated homes, missing relatives, schools reduced to ashes?

How broken has humanity become that children no longer fear the ghosts hiding under the beds, but bullets? The monsters that once made little ones beg their parents to hold them have become reality, and, much to their dismay, adults cannot protect them. Monsters are the soulless creatures who, disguised in human skin, shoot children at point-blank range or rob them of their childhood. Either way, it's a form of death.

And what about those buried in the rubble; those who died from malnutrition, famine, or cold? Little or nothing. Perhaps statistics, but what can numbers do for those families? They seem to remain mere denunciations, because wars persist, fueled above all by those who turn them into businesses, like the Peace Group, which has failed to find solutions to the conflict in Gaza but has demanded millions.
