Donald Trump doesn't want anybody talking about Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, or the Epstein files. Why else would he be creating even more distractions than usual?
So let's check out this report from CNN about you know what. 😎
CNN's Andrew Kaczynski looked at Epstein's flight logs and found numerous instances where Donald Trump was a passenger. He even found references to Epstein in one of Trump's books.
The more Trump tries to distract us, the more we should bring up the Trump-Epstein scandal.
BONUS TRACK: Author Andrew Lownie wrote a book about Prince Andrew, the Duke of York. In a conversation with Times Radio (as in Times of London) Lownie casually mentions a possible indirect Putin connection to the Epstein scandal. Putin, of course, was a senior officer in the USSR's KGB (secret police) and probably makes a hobby out of collecting incriminating information on people he can blackmail.
More than 50,000 North Koreans will be sent to work in Russia, as Moscow's war in Ukraine drains labour pools.
Russia is using North Koreans for what amounts to slave labor.
It's yet another sign of Putin's weakness. He has to pay for slaves and ammo from a 4th rate power which starves its citizens to produce nukes.
Moscow has repeatedly turned to Pyongyang to help it fight the war, using its missiles, artillery shells and its soldiers.
Now, with many of Russia's men either killed or tied up fighting - or having fled the country - South Korean intelligence officials have told the BBC that Moscow is increasingly relying on North Korean labourers.
We interviewed six North Korean workers who have fled Russia since the start of the war, along with government officials, researchers and those helping to rescue the labourers.
They detailed how the men are subjected to "abysmal" working conditions, and how the North Korean authorities are tightening their control over the workers to stop them escaping.
One of the workers, Jin, told the BBC that when he landed in Russia's Far East, he was chaperoned from the airport to a construction site by a North Korean security agent, who ordered him not to talk to anyone or look at anything.
"The outside world is our enemy," the agent told him. He was put straight to work building high-rise apartment blocks for more than 18 hours a day, he said.
The working conditions for the North Koreans make the gulag sound pleasant.
"Some people would leave their post to sleep in the day, or fall asleep standing up, but the supervisors would find them and beat them. It was truly like we were dying," said another of the workers, Chan.
"The conditions are truly abysmal," said Kang Dong-wan, a professor at South Korea's Dong-A University who has travelled to Russia multiple times to interview North Korean labourers.
"The workers are exposed to very dangerous situations. At night the lights are turned out and they work in the dark, with little safety equipment."
The escapees told us that the workers are confined to their construction sites day and night, where they are watched by agents from North Korea's state security department. They sleep in dirty, overcrowded shipping containers, infested with bugs, or on the floor of unfinished apartment blocks, with tarps pulled over the door frames to try to keep out the cold.
One labourer, Nam, said he once fell four metres off his building site and "smashed up" his face, leaving him unable to work. Even then his supervisors would not let him leave the site to visit a hospital.
North Korea has been communist since 1945. Russia was communist under the Soviet Union and Bolshevik Russia from 1917 to 1991. Communist propagandists routinely depicted communist countries as a paradise for workers. They more closely resembled forced labor camps where party bosses lived far better than the "proletariat".
The government of the workers' paradise treats its own people like shit.
These overseas construction jobs are highly coveted in North Korea as they promise to pay better than the work at home. Most workers go hoping to escape poverty and be able to buy a house for their family or start a business when they return. Only the most trusted men are selected after being rigorously vetted, and they must leave their families behind.
But the bulk of their earnings is sent straight to the North Korean state as "loyalty fees". The remaining fraction – usually between $100-200 (£74-£149) a month - is marked down on a ledger. The workers only receive this money when they return home – a recent tactic, experts say, to stop them running away.
Putin has successfully brainwashed Trump into thinking that Russia is an economic and military equivalent of the United States. This wasn't true even during the Cold War. Most obviously, Putin's "3-day special operation" in Ukraine is now into Day 1,266.
Russia is a weak country with failing infrastructure which causes raw sewage to flow through the streets.
Russia is not in a position to dictate terms to Ukraine – except inside Trump's empty head. And only an imbecile like Trump would think that Putin would adhere to any future agreement.
Philanthropy is not a solo effort—it’s a shared responsibility and a chance for all of us to help shape the future.
Aliko Dangote was recently named on the TIME100 list of the World’s Most Influential Philanthropists, joining a group of outstanding changemakers. According to him, this recognition is both affirming and energizing.
In his words, the conversations around this honor only confirm one truth: real impact happens when action is driven by intention.
He emphasized that education, healthcare, and economic opportunity remain the core focus of their mission—key elements for building a self-reliant Africa.
He also expressed deep appreciation for the Dangote Foundation team, whose dedication continues to bring this vision to life.
Scientists have discovered that the woodpecker’s remarkably elongated tongue—which coils around its skull and occasionally extends near the eye sockets—serves a vital function beyond merely capturing insects.
Anchored by a specialized hyoid structure, the tongue functions as an organic shock absorber, dispersing the intense impact forces produced during its high-speed pecking.
This extraordinary anatomical adaptation enables woodpeckers to hammer into wood at rates of up to 20 strikes per second without suffering any brain damage—an ability that remains unparalleled among other animals.
