Jeffrey Epstein’s guards were working extreme OT shifts

Jeffrey Epstein’s guards were working extreme OT shifts
Guards on Jeffrey Epstein’s unit were working extreme overtime shifts to make up for staffing shortages the morning of his apparent suicide, a person familiar with the jail’s operations told The Associated Press.



So Epstein was able to commit suicide because the guards were overworked?
Yeah, that makes no sense. And no video? This stinks to high heaven.

Well, apparently Epstein broke his nose and changed ears due to his suicide.

Hillary Clinton could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and do nothing, and they would say she shot Jeffrey Epstein. - Andrea Junker

To those asking, “what took so long?” You’re right. I tried to see best in @realDonaldTrump based on private interactions and select policy alignment. But his increasingly divisive rhetoric - and damage it’s doing to fabric of our society - outweighs any short-term economic gain. - Anthony Scaramucci tweet this morning (yeah, he is planning to run for office)

The USA was formed to escape from the Church of England's distortion of Jesus and influence on its leaders. And now we are heading back to square one.

God help us all.



The Family is a 5 part documentary series and is packed with factual information, such as interviews with these "religious right" congressmen traveling around the world literally spouting JESUS on the taxpayer dime, which last time I looked, violated the 1st amendment.

I hope this documentary opens a long overdue Pandora's Box.

ICE official on children left behind after Mississippi raids: We're 'not a social services agency'
An ICE official told NBC News on Friday that the agency is "a law enforcement agency, not a social services agency" after news reports revealed that many children of suspects detained this week were left homeless in the immediate aftermath of the raid, though local media reports indicate that all are now staying with family members.

Woody Harrelson Gives Insight After Trump Dies
Oscar-nominee Woody Harrelson has taken on many roles, but an enthusiastic dinner guest of Donald Trump's, long before he was president, may have been his most challenging...Harrelson did admit Trump "did say one thing that was interesting, though."
"He said, ‘You know, I’m worth four billion dollars,’ or maybe he said five billion dollars—one of those numbers, I forget," he said. "'But when I die, no matter how much it is, I know my kids are going to fight over it.’ That was the one true statement he made that night.

I Wonder How the People of Color in the DOJ Feel About This.
Alleged white supremacists were responsible for all race-based domestic terrorism incidents in 2018, according to a government document distributed earlier this year to state, local and federal law enforcement.
The document, which has not been previously reported on, becomes public as the Trump administration’s Justice Department has been unable or unwilling to provide data to Congress on white supremacist domestic terrorism.

45 Years Ago Today
August 9, 1974.
Gerald Ford is sworn in as president of the United States after the resignation of President Richard Nixon.


When Nixon left office, I was so relieved that a president was held accountable. I was so naive then.

680 undocumented workers arrested in record-setting immigration sweep

680 undocumented workers arrested in record-setting immigration sweep
After immigration authorities rounded up hundreds of workers in a massive sweep at seven Mississippi food processing plants, friends and family members are desperately searching for answers.
A crowd waited outside a plant in Morton, Mississippi, on Thursday morning, hoping authorities would release their loved ones. Many had been by later in the afternoon.



ATTENTION MISSISSIPPI BUBBAS: There are 680 job openings in food processing plants due to immigration raids. Put down your guns and fill out an application.

Hundreds of children in Mississippi lost their parents and family on THEIR FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL.

Trump NEEDS To Be The Center of Attention
Jetting to the scene of a second massacre, Trump lashed out. Instead of imparting the sympathetic grief that his tour of killing zones was meant to illustrate, it was he who appeared aggrieved. And instead of highlighting his interactions with the shootings' victims, it was his own perceived victimhood — at the hands of Democrats and the media — that he thrust upon two stricken communities.

DT Rescues Child.

The veteran actor, known for roles in films like Heat and Machete, was in the Sylmar neighborhood of Los Angeles on Thursday when two cars collided at the intersection of Hubbard Street and Jackman Avenue. One of the cars was overturned as a result of the collision and Trejo, and a fellow bystander, jumped into action -- rescuing a child trapped inside, according to ABC7 Eyewitness News.



I loved Danny Trejo in In The Blood. This action movie is about true love and what happens when you mess with the wrong woman on her honeymoon. Increiblemente bonito.

Reminder: Danny Trejo is 75 and out here rescuing children from overturned cars. Heroism is ageless, timeless, and packs some badass tattoos. - LaToya Morgan
