“Former President Trump is in advanced talks to sell rights to his Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C., sources tell Axios.
Why it matters: The removal of Trump’s big, golden name from Pennsylvania Avenue would be a symbolic bombshell savored by opponents.
The historic building became a prop and symbol for both sides in the political wars.
The hotel was a central setting during his chaotic presidency, with Trump preening at his personal table, and supporters and supplicants thronging the lobby bar and restaurants to curry favor.
How it would work: Trump would sell the leasing rights to a real estate developer, who in turn would negotiate with hotel companies that would manage the property and rebrand it.
Details of the deal’s terms aren’t yet known but Trump’s representatives have been in talks with major hotel chains and investors.
Trump, who initially tried to sell the leased federal property in the fall of 2019, declined Axios’ request for comment.
Sources said the former president is likely to get less than the $500 million he was reportedly seeking in 2019.”

September 2019:
Candidate Biden demands President Trump release transcript of Ukraine call so “the American people can judge for themselves.”
President Trump releases transcript because he has nothing to hide and did nothing wrong.
September 2021:
President Biden refuses to release transcript of his call with former Afghanistan President Ghani, where he demanded Ghani “change the perception” about military losses in the country.
What’s he hiding?

Of 30k+ evacuees from Afghanistan to US, 10k needed add’l screening as of Friday & about 100 flagged for possible Taliban/terror ties.

As we see flights landing without manifests, men importing child brides and hundreds of people with terror ties it is clear that Joe Biden & his regime have no idea who they are importing into our country… or even worse, they do know and find this acceptable.
Thanks for those posts/links....and....you’ve got more mail :-)
That’s sad.
Taliban soldiers going door-to-door executing people, ‘they haven’t stopped killing’
Jihad Watch reported early on in the Taliban takeover that they were going door-to-door, forcibly marrying girls as young as 12, and forcing them into sex slavery.
According to a former Afghan special forces soldier, the brutality hasn’t stopped. He stated that “since the Taliban have come to power they haven’t stopped killing.” Nevertheless, many nations have held meetings with the Taliban, thus legitimizing them.
The lying words of the Taliban have been cunning. A Taliban spokesman “promised the Taliban is ‘committed to the rights of women within the framework of Sharia’ law, and even committed to a ‘free and independent media.’” There are no rights for women and disbelievers “within the framework of Sharia law,” no matter how extensive the lies of Sharia proponents are. Anywhere the Sharia is established, barbarism follows.
The door-to-door executions by the Taliban are an integral part of the establishment of strict Sharia in Afghanistan.
Where’s a whistleblower when we really need one?
Thanks, looks like that’s probably what happened. It Was freaky, just happened to be night time.
I’m keeping it unplugged now.
Yeah we have one on the driveway. It didn’t trigger so I knew a car didn’t come up. We also have an alarm on the driveway that has been very accurate.
After this I think I would like a few more cameras around the house. Good idea, thanks!
I don’t remember if hubby changed the codes when we moved in, I’ll ask him. Good idea.
I sleep like a log no matter what. I didn’t think I would though. But in California I’ve slept through earthquakes. Wake up the next day and the kitchen cabinets are open and a few things on the floor, and I had no idea why. It might get me in trouble someday, if I don’t wake up to handle something serious.
Pakistani ISI Chief Faiz Hameed just arrived in Kabul Serena Hotel. Told me he was here to meet Pakistani Ambassador - wouldn’t say he was meeting Taliban leadership (but he must be of course!) pic.twitter.com/afhfpNqzw8— Lindsey Hilsum (@lindseyhilsum) September 4, 2021
Don’t trust AXIOS, part of the LSM.
We did have a whistleblower who leaked the transcript of Bye-done’s talk with Ghani to the media.
However, it got very little traction with the LSM and has been buried.
All those reporting on it are conservative sites.
Jack Poso said we ARE going to see more whistleblowers, don’t want to go down with the ship.
Right now the WH message is to place blame on the military, will they stand for it?
Buy more popcorn!
Yup, could be a blessing or a curse!
But it sounds like a very sensitive unit that is triggered easily.
It’s my speculation —The ISI and Pakistan want to control via the Haqqani network and the ISI chief is there to sort out the differences between Mullah Yaqoob, Mullah Baradar, and the Haqqani Network which has held up the formation of the Taliban Government. Means China and Pakistan will become the ultimate beneficiaries if this goes through. But Mullah Yaqoob is opposed to it. And in the meantime, all the factions are trying to put down the resistance in Panjshir before the formation of the new Government so that there is no question of power-sharing with ethnic Tajiks or Uzbeks.

President Biden has the watch, the Taliban has the time.
