Indeed, there’s an Epstein connection: Jim Caviezel, who plays Ballard, says the film features an Epstein island allegory, and wonders how the “three-letter agencies” could not be aware of the extent of the child-trafficking problem.

Didn’t the representative to Congress from the US Virgin Islands just say on MSNBC that Trump needed to shot? Maybe the FBI ought to check out the folks there. Just a suggestion.

With Catholic charities and NGO’s delivering illegals and kids all over the US, it’s almost like it’s... intentional? Seems odd?

Knowing the type of people he’s fighting AGAINST, I’d think he should make sure he has VERY GOOD security.

He must only be getting low level mules, as the moment he rolls up on someone at the right level, he’s going to have “issues”.
