@WallStreetApes Remember how we were told Jeffrey Epstein made his money in finance, wealth management and trading Charlie Kirk exposes Jeffrey Epstein HAD NO TRADES EVER made under his name “There are no trades to Jeffrey Epstein name at any of the trading desks — yet he ends up with a lifestyle you would think that he's worth $50 billion dollars” “He had multiple Gulf Streams jets, multiple. Each one is $30, $40, $50 million”

The Democratic Party is sounding the alarm in New Jersey, and for good reason. What should have been a cakewalk in a deep-blue state has turned into a frantic scramble, with party leaders dumping millions into the governor’s race in a desperate bid to stave off electoral disaster. Democrats are terrified that their grip on New Jersey is slipping, and they’re willing to throw everything at the wall to keep it from shattering. New Jersey, a state that reliably votes blue in national elections, has long been considered a Democratic stronghold. But the political winds have shifted. The party that...

Maine Governor Janet Mills is building a $4.5 million reinforced steel wall around her official residence, days after she was grilled about alleged cocaine use. The ongoing works around Blaine House follow a 2018 security study and is expected to cost $4.5 million, it involves a new perimeter made from stone masonry and metal. Crews are working on building a new perimeter fence around the property, and images have surfaced showing a temporary steel fence thrown round the residence. On top of the bolstered border, a new security system will be installed alongside new lighting and cameras. A spokesperson said...

As reported by Blackout News and then Climate Depot, European nations like Germany, Norway, and Belgium are “spearheading new regulations designed to tax capital gains before individuals emigrate.”For context, these three nations already have some of the highest taxation rates in the world. When you look at personal income tax rates, Germany’s top bracket is 47.5%, Norway’s is 39.6%, and Belgium’s is 53.5%. (Out of 36 European nations, Germany ranks 12th highest, Norway 19th highest and Belgium fifth highest.) And, hitting those top tax brackets isn’t just for the jetset elites. In Belgium, once your income reaches €48,320, you’re in...

The Wall Street Journal welcomed FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino to the “rotten establishment” in a new editorial about the ongoing MAGA civil war over the Trump administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case. On Sunday night, a Department of Justice and FBI memo concluding that Epstein did, in fact, commit suicide and there was “no incriminating ‘client list'” or “credible evidence … that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals” was reported on by Axios to the dismay of many of President Donald Trump’s biggest fans. “I’m going to go throw up actually. And this only happens every...

Flood-ravaged parts of Texas are set to be pounded by an additional 'wall of water' officials have warned, as they announced a new wave of evacuations. Nim Kidd, Chief of the Texas Division of Emergency Management, advised Kerr County to brace for more of the deadly rains which have already claimed the lives of at least 80 people. 'There are unconfirmed at this point reports of additional water coming in. And as the governor mentioned, there's rain still falling on the area,' Kidd said at a press conference. 'We've got DPS aircraft that are flying up to try to find...

BBC News reports that Museum of London Archaeology Senior Building Material Specialist Han Li has painstakingly reassembled thousands of pieces of 1,800-year-old painted wall plaster recovered in 2021 from a development site in Southwark along the Thames. The fragments, which had been dumped into a pit in antiquity, once adorned some 20 walls of a high-status Roman building that was demolished sometime before a.d. 200. "It's one of the biggest -- if not the biggest -- assemblages of Roman wall plaster and paintings we've ever found in Roman London," Li said. He found that the structure's walls were decorated with...

NEW YORK, NY — As part of his campaign platform in his attempt to become the next mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani pledged that he would build a wall separating East New York from West New York. Promising to turn the Big Apple into a shining example of a communist utopia, Mamdani unveiled the ambitious plan to physically separate the city's left-wing populace from the remaining capitalists, Christians, and conservatives. "This is our chance to create our ideal New York City," Mamdani said. "It's long past time to place a physical barrier to delineate our community collective from...

A prominent Wall Street economist who had slammed President Trump’s tariffs earlier this year now says that the president may have “outsmarted all of us” with his controversial trade policies. Torsten Sløk, chief economist at investment giant Apollo Global Management, said that while the uncertainty surrounding trade policy has already started to weigh on the economy, Trump could lower tariffs on most of the US trading partners while using the levies to boost federal revenue. Sløk suggested in a recently posted analysis that the administration’s approach may be more strategic than previously thought. The optimistic outlook stands in stark contrast...

Senate Budget Committee Chair Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) has unveiled a plan to override Homeland Security Committee Chair Rand Paul’s (R-Ky.) proposal to fund border security and immigration enforcement activities at roughly half the amount favored by Senate and House Republican leaders. Paul created an uproar two weeks ago when he unveiled his portion of the Trump agenda megabill that would spend $6.5 billion on completing President Trump’s border wall and $22.5 billion on expanding detention facilities for migrants. Now Graham has answered with a move of his own, unveiling a proposal to restore funding for the border wall and Immigration...

Barron Trump, son of President Donald Trump, has now earned almost $40 million from cryptocurrency before his 20th birthday. Barron is left with about $25 million after taxes from a very clever investment, according to Forbes. This whopping amount is said to far exceed what some of his older siblings made when they were his age. “Barron knows so much about this,” the president noted, after the Trump family announced a crypto enterprise called World Liberty Financial. “Barron’s a young guy, but he knows it — he talks about his wallet.” Barron’s influence in both the public — and private...

PIUSA, Estonia — As part of a large-scale security and modernization campaign sparked by the invasion of Ukraine, the Estonian government is moving to set up and deploy a “drone wall” across its entire eastern border with Russia by the end of 2027. This massive, in-the-works fortification will include a combination of surveillance assets, multilayer sensors, countermeasure platforms, and uncrewed systems that can take out hostile enemy drones across the roughly 183-mile border, which also marks a major boundary shared between Russia and the NATO alliance. Members of Estonia’s Police and Border Guard Board briefed DefenseScoop and others participating in...
 

With only 8% built, Texas quietly defunds state border wall program

Texas Tribune ^ | Zach Despart and Alejandro Serrano
Four years after Gov. Greg Abbott announced Texas would be the first state to build its own border wall, lawmakers have quietly stopped funding the project, leaving only scattered segments covering a small fraction of the border. That decision, made in the waning hours of this year’s legislative session, leaves the future of the state wall unclear. Just 8% of the 805 miles the state identified for construction is complete, which has cost taxpayers more than $3 billion to date. The Texas Tribune reported last year that the wall is full of gaps that migrants and smugglers can easily walk...
 

Texas Defunds Border Wall Construction After Spending More Than $3 Billion to Build 65 Mile

The Texas Legislature cancelled the state’s program to build its own border wall as the legislative session came to a close, having spent more than $3 billion to build only about 65 miles of scattered segments. In December 2021, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) announced the program at a press conference along the border, the first of its kind in the country, banging a mallet on one of the wall’s metal beams as he “declared the barrier to be impenetrable,” reported The Texas Tribune, but that bold declaration soon ran into challenges: “It’s heavy and it’s wide,” he said assuredly....

It’s about the food, and some of the detainees were getting aggressive and it turned violent,” Cetin said. “Based on what he told me it was an...

Snaking for 200 miles across the inhospitable terrain of southern Mongolia, the so-called Gobi Wall is the least studied section of a system of medieval fortifications that once extended from China into Mongolia. The Hebrew University of Jerusalem announced that a research team has recently completed a comprehensive investigation of the structure, combining remote sensing, pedestrian survey, and targeted excavations. The study revealed that the wall was primarily constructed from rammed earth, stone, and wood during the Xi Xia period (a.d. 1038-1227 ), a dynasty ruled by the Tungut tribes of western China and southern Mongolia. However, evidence showed that...
 

Rand says border wall funding is EXCESSIVE and provides examples!

X ^ | June 9 | Sen. Rand Paul
@RandPaul We can cut the proposed border funding in half, from $150 billion to $75 billion, and still secure our border and protect the American people. Let me give you an example of how this is excessive. Let’s take the proposed border wall. Proposed fence cost: $46.5 billion Actual fence cost: $6.5 billion How did I come up with that number? Math based on costs, according to Border Patrol. $6.5 million per mile x 1,000 miles of border wall = $6.5 billion Where is that extra $40 billion going? I’m all for hiring new people to help secure our borders,...

The Egyptian Gazette reports that an archaeological mission working in Manqabad near Assiut unearthed the remains of a unique Coptic-period building. The walls of the two-story mudbrick structure, which dates to the sixth or seventh century a.d., were covered with remarkable murals. One room was painted with a series of eyes that were centered around a single human face. Researchers believe that this design symbolizes spiritual insight, wisdom, and inner vision, which were key themes of Coptic religious life. Another fresco bears the image of a bearded man holding a small child, likely representing Saint Joseph and an infant Jesus...
