Trump's counterterrorism asec Julia Varvaro caught in 'SUGAR DADDIES' sex scandal
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Counterterrorism Varvaro allegedly sought the 'sugar daddies' online, to support a lavish lifestyle — offering 'SEDUCTIVE SOPHISTICATION'
And allegedly received tens of thousands of dollars in jewelry
Oooppsss
"I am an extraordinarily brilliant person, an even I had no idea what the hell they were talking about in the Referendum, and neither do they!"...
Proposed Law
The proposed amendment would give the General Assembly the authority to redraw one or
more of Virginia's congressional districts before 2031 in limited circumstances. In the event
that another state redraws its own congressional districts before 2031, without being ordered
by a court to do so, the General Assembly would then be able to redraw Virginia's
congressional districts. The General Assembly's power to do so would continue until October
31, 2030, and the Virginia Redistricting Commission would reassume the responsibility of
drawing the congressional districts in 2031.
Is that hard to understand Mr. Brilliant Grifter Person? Or are you, as you like to call others, LOW IQ?

"DOJ Catches Libs Funding The KKK"... sure, that's it... it's not just a political distraction for Trump's DOJ and Patel... it wasn't the SPLC paying informants in white supremacist groups to infiltrate them... it was Libs "funding" the KKK...
Can't wait to see how this one pans out for the DOJ

LOL... so, you do believe the SPLC is funding the KKK?
Key civil rights group indicted for paying informants. But FBI does it too
Paying sources to infiltrate hate groups is a tried-and-tested tactic long employed by federal law enforcement agencies.
Paying informants to infiltrate hate groups, the tactic at the heart of the SPLC indictment, has, however, been used by federal law enforcement agencies “for decades, if not longer,” said Javed Ali, associate professor of practice at the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan and a former senior counterterrorism official at the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security.
The FBI has long paid, and probably is still paying, confidential sources across the country to gather intelligence on extremist groups, including organizations like those named in Tuesday’s indictment, Ali said.
Confidential sources who have been paid by the FBI have included “high-level leaders.”
One such source, David Gletty, spent years infiltrating anti-government militia groups and neo-Nazi and biker gangs for the FBI. He told USA TODAY he received “a lot of money” from the agency for his work, which he described as dangerous and exhilarating. But he also got into trouble while working for the agency, Gletty acknowledged.
“The idea that people who contribute to the Southern Poverty Law Center would have objected that some of their funding was going to pay people who infiltrated extremist far-right groups like the Ku-Klux Klan is ridiculous on its face,” Cotter said. “It’s stupid. It doesn’t pass the laugh test.”

From Superpower to Self-Sabotage? The Real Threat to America’s Greatness | Victor Davis Hanson
The Daily Signal
Apr 22, 2026 Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words
As America approaches its 250th anniversary, the nation’s unmatched economic, cultural, and military dominance remains clear on the global stage. The enduring strength of the Constitution, a merit-based society, and a tradition of innovation have fueled a level of success few nations have ever achieved.
But growing debt, declining birth rates, and shifting cultural values raise serious questions about long-term stability.
The future of American greatness may depend on whether the country can preserve the principles that made it exceptional in the first place, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”
In this video, Victor Davis Hanson reflects on the 250th anniversary of the United States, arguing that despite modern challenges, America maintains unmatched global preeminence across several key pillars.
Evidence of American Preeminence: (0:36 - 3:17)

In this video, Victor Davis Hanson reflects on the 250th anniversary of the United States, arguing that despite modern challenges, America maintains unmatched global preeminence across several key pillars.
Evidence of American Preeminence: (0:36 - 3:17)
- Economic Might: With a $30 trillion economy, the U.S. remains significantly larger than China and the European Union, leading in global market capitalization.
- Cultural Influence: American entertainment and media, including streaming and film, dominate international markets.
- Educational Leadership: The U.S. is home to the vast majority of the world's top-ranked universities.
- Military Supremacy: The U.S. maintains a military infrastructure, including carrier groups and combat aircraft, that surpasses the combined capabilities of most major global powers.
- The Constitution: Hanson credits the durability of the U.S. Constitution, which effectively balances power and protects individual rights through the Bill of Rights.
- Meritocracy and Opportunity: The absence of a rigid class system fosters a culture where talent and innovation are rewarded, attracting global talent and entrepreneurs.
- Cultural Ethos: A "can-do" spirit and the influence of the Judeo-Christian tradition encourage ethical restraint and emulation of success rather than resentment.
- Economic Sustainability: Growing national debt, trade deficits, and the cost of entitlements pose long-term risks.
- Demographics: A declining fertility rate threatens the stability and dynamism of the workforce.
- Social Shifts: Hanson expresses concern over the abandonment of the "melting pot" assimilation model in favor of tribalism and identity-based politics (DEI), which he argues could lead to societal fragmentation.

(*Yeah I know I dont like some of the sources either, but ignoring the facts is just being dishonest)
*I'm not picking sides in the redistricting. I simply stated that Trump and the Republicans are in trouble and defending the poorly researched accusation that the story about Trump "starting" the redistricting battle in an off year was somehow false.
Maybe research

So, do you think SPLC (the "Libs"
) are funding the KKK? I assumed white supremacist scumbags funded the KKK. I am a bit simple minded, so perhaps I'm wrong?Yes, a grand jury indicted, but not for "funding the KKK", instead for misusing donor funds...
but now you got me hungry for a ham sandwich...
Just covering a low bar in order to distract from the Trump-Epstein Files, the war situation, recent Kash Patel revelations, etc.
And the likes of Ben Shapiro, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingram, and Jesse Watters will echo out "SPLC funds the KKK" to the gullible MAGA folks
IMO, this latest indictment will just be the next failure of the corrupt Trump controlled DOJ, other than the successful distraction it's caused already.
