1/ Jeffrey Epstein was not a legitimate financier. There is no evidence he ran a hedge fund, produced audited returns, or built wealth through normal financial activity.
2/ Despite that, he lived like a billionaire: private jets, a private island, multiple mansions, and constant elite access.
That mismatch alone should have triggered a full forensic investigation. It didn’t.
3/ Epstein claimed to manage money for one ultra-wealthy client at a time. The only clearly documented one was Leslie Wexner—under shockingly broad power of attorney.

Throughout history, mankind has accepted failings of those who, by hook or crook, or by force or elections, have become leaders in Tribes, Society or of our Nations.
We accept their excuses because as individuals we feel powerless to do anything else.
This must end.
The question presents itself, at this point, of how we get these very people who create our laws, to pass laws holding them accountable for their misconduct?
In the U.S., this is only possible, at the State level, through citizen initiated State Constitutional Amendments.
While it is a grueling process, requiring Petitions with a massive amount of signatures needed to place Referendums on the Ballot at elections, it can be done.
We must hold our leaders accountable.
Lies, told just to get elected, should result in removal from Office.
“BERLIN — When a video of two Donald Trump supporters shouting “Luegenpresse” (lying press) started to circulate Sunday, viewers from Germany soon noted its explosive nature. The defamatory word was most frequently used in Nazi Germany.”
What’s insidious about the use of Lügenpresse in the United States is the use of ultra-wealthy to purchase large media forums to make it true.

What effect will the GOP 2025 Budget have on the Nursing Home Industry?
AI Response:
Losing $880 billion in Medicaid payments over the next ten years could have significant implications for the nursing home industry. Here are some potential effects:
1. **Financial Strain**: Nursing homes often rely heavily on Medicaid for funding, as many residents qualify for assistance. A reduction in Medicaid payments could lead to financial instability for facilities, potentially resulting in closures or reduced services.
2. **Quality of Care**: With decreased funding, nursing homes might be forced to cut costs, which could affect staffing levels and the quality of care provided to residents. This could lead to higher staff-to-resident ratios and less individualized attention.
