Police in Britain Repeatedly Declined to Investigate Epstein. Why?
Why?
The police in London interviewed Virginia Giuffre three times over her allegations about Jeffrey Epstein, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Ghislaine Maxwell, but never began a criminal investigation.

We should have been supporting Ukraine unequivocally. Strongly. Without reservation.
Russia and Putin are the real enemy but they OWN Trump. And our troops and allies WILL DIE because of it

We are a nation of 349M, yet one man decided to launch our nation into a reckless, illegal war without congressional authorization or counsel or the support of the American people. He didnβt think he had any duty to sell it or serve the peopleβs interests. This is why despotic rule is so dangerous.

Search-and-rescue crews were βflying blindβ trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week.
Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMAβs $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool.
But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.

Water crisis looms as company warns it canβt meet demand for new homes
Councillors say it must serve as a wake-up call on the Labour government's plans to build 1.5m new homes
South East Water says it can't provide water to all new homes
Water companies haven't built new reservoirs for decades, paid dividends, govts did nothing
Govt wants to build new homes but no infrastructure planning. That's what happens when you privatize essentials infrastructure.
