Is Trump a terrorist?

The U.S. Code of Federal Regulations defines terrorism as "the unlawful use of force and violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives" (28 C.F.R. Section 0.85).

Though Trump may not be directly using force and violence, he is, arguably, inciting force and violence.

Tax filing suggests Epstein made big bucks flipping hot IPOs.

Wall Street On Parade located a highly interesting ledger from one of Jeffrey Epstein's nonprofit tax filings which shows he was able to get his hands on highly preferential hot IPOs (Initial Public Offerings) and flipped them on their first day of trading.

Let's hope he lands in prison and gets to work in the kitchen flipping burgers.

Oil leak worse than rig owner says

WASHINGTON — A new federal study has found that an oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico that began 14 years ago has been releasing as much as 4,500 gallons a day, not three or four gallons a day as the rig owner has claimed.

The leak, about 12 miles off the Louisiana coast, began in 2004 when a Taylor Energy Company oil platform sank during Hurricane Ivan and a bundle of undersea pipes ruptured. Oil and gas have been seeping from the site ever since.
