I bought a Blue Light Germicidal Light Bulb, 405 nm blue light. Read about safety for humans, and its germicidal properties. Not as powerful as UV light in general, but safe for humans. Not as powerful as far UVC but much cheaper: $20. Anyone tried it? amazon.com/dp/B08FCW3ZCL

SO FUCKING RACIST! Not only did they call the police, but his team refunded his money and kicked them off the team. 🚨🚨🚨Yes, a 3-year-old soccer player named Nevada was removed from his youth league, and his family received a refund after police were called to the field. What Happened •The Incident: Nevada was playing in an i9 Sports youth soccer league in Winter Park, Florida. At 3 years old, he was playing in a division against children around 5 years old. • •The Complaints: Opposing parents complained that Nevada was dominating possession, keeping the ball too long, and scoring multiple goals (reportedly scoring up to 10 in a game) because the older children could not take the ball away from him. Some parents accused the toddler of "trying to put on a show". • •Police Involvement: The league issued a trespass notice against the family, and police officers arrived to escort Nevada and his parents away from the field in front of the other children and spectators. • •The Aftermath: The family was removed from the program and received a full refund for their Fall 2026 registration, sharing footage of the incident on social media where it went viral

In 1993, Donald Trump & Jeffrey Epstein approached Beatrice Keul at the Plaza Hotel and told her their friend Paolo Zampolli would take care of her Visa for her. Donald Trump later invited her upstairs where he raped her. He told her to keep quiet because “The show must go on.”

MASSIVE BREAKING: House Democrats release report and new interview of Trump victim, Beatrice Keul where she describes that Trump brutally r*ped her in a hotel room at Trump’s Plaza Hotel in Atlantic City after the pair spent time with Jeffrey Epstein. The release includes a 52-page staff report accusing Trump of being “an active participant” in Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse of young women in the 1990s, and accusing his Justice Department of covering it up.

"[The hospitalized adult patients in Pennsylvania] are weak and disoriented with meningitis, sepsis or pneumonia. Some have bacterial infections in their blood, kidney failure or hepatitis.. Pennsylvania’s measles outbreak is defying epidemiologists’ expectations and historical trends: Adults account for about two-thirds of the 1,300 cases reported by the state.. Until now, measles was rarely seen among adults.. Pennsylvania’s outbreak is also sending people to the hospital at almost twice the rate seen in other recent outbreaks. Six people diagnosed with measles — four of them adults — have died, according to state health officials and local coroners. An infant, born with the disease after his mother was sick during pregnancy, was among the deaths.. The toll showcases how adults over age 20 are among the groups at greatest risk for serious complications.. Children under 5 and people with compromised immune systems are also at high risk for severe illness.." I believe the number of immunocompromized adults is increasing. 'Measles is thought of as a childhood illness, but more Pennsylvania adults are getting sick' thetimes-tribune.com/2026/10…

[Ultima entrega] El gobierno del @pnp_pr autorizó venderle al empresario de viviendas de lujo, 430 cuerdas en el barrio Sabana de Vega Alta, colindante con la finca San Antonio del barrio Higuillar en Dorado que ya le había alquilado la administración del @ppdpr en el 2015 y le vendió la de Ricardo Rosselló en el 2019.

JARED KUSHNER IS MOSSAD 🇮🇱 Dutch intelligence confirmed it. But… this is NOT new information. It was already revealed in the Epstein Files. The FBI already knew this. A leaked FBI report [I’ll post it in the replies] revealed that Epstein (and Alan Dershowitz) was Mossad, with Epstein personally trained as a spy by the ex-Prime Minister of Israel. And they RECRUITED the Kushner family. This includes Josh Kutcher who Trump exploited his power as president to get him ownership of the Lakers. Trump also exploited his power to pardon the family for tax evasion, witness tampering and illegal donations. Jared now controls a multi-billion dollar, highly connected, fund used to exploit and extract from the Middle East. This is one of the largest crime families in the world.

🚨Out of the 11 women who tie Donald Trump to Epstein’s sex trafficking operation, 5 of them—Beatrice Keul, Stacey Williams, Jill Harth, Katie Johnson, and a Jane Doe—have directly accused Trump of raping or sexually assaulting them in Epstein’s company or direct physical presence: • Beatrice Keul credibly alleges that Trump violently raped her at a November 1993 pageant at the Plaza Hotel in New York City and that Epstein, Trump, and others used this pageant as a “hunting ground” to prey on vulnerable young women and girls; • Stacey Williams, who offered a detailed and corroborated account of Trump sexually assaulting her in the early 1990s while she was alone with him and Epstein in an office at Trump Tower; • Jill Harth, who has also publicly detailed Trump aggressively pursuing and violently sexually assaulting her and another woman in 1994 at a Mar-a-Lago party where Epstein and Trump were the only men present; • Katie Johnson, who gave FBI a detailed account of her repeated rape at the hands of Trump and Epstein in 1994 in New York City when she was a minor; • A Jane Doe, who offered FBI a graphic account of Trump assaulting her when she was a minor in the mid-1980s in New York by forcibly pushing her head down to his exposed penis. Beyond these direct allegations of physical assault, three survivors speak of encounters with Trump whose circumstances indicate that he was a participant in Epstein’s crimes, as shown by how Epstein and his accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, tried to make (or made) these women available for sex. •Two Epstein survivors, “Jane” and “Kate”, told FBI that either Epstein or Maxwell seemingly offered them up to Trump for the purposes of sex or indicated their availability. Jane and Kate were deemed so credible that federal prosecutors called them to testify as government witnesses, subject to probing cross- examination, against Ghislaine Maxwell at her criminal trial. • Another survivor, Maria Farmer, described how Epstein had to actively prevent Trump from preying on her late at night after Trump confused her with a teenage girl potentially victimized by Epstein.
🚨BREAKING: Rep. Jamie Raskin released a new Committee staff report detailing evidence involving 11 women, five of whom directly accuse Donald Trump of rape or sexual assault in Jeffrey Epstein’s close company or presence. The report concludes that, based on the available evidence and witness testimony, Trump and Paolo Zampolli, who until recently served as a senior Trump Administration official and diplomat, may have been co-conspirators in Jeffrey Epstein’s conspiracy to traffic and abuse young women in the 1990s. These stories are united by time, place, and the distinct factual similarities in how Trump and Epstein pursued, manipulated, and abused these women. With one exception, these accounts of sexual assault and conspiracy involve episodes that took place between 1992 and 1997 in New York City and Palm Beach, at a time when Trump and Epstein were “close friends” and participated in a shadowy subculture organized around young female modeling. Witnesses speak consistently of modeling pageants and parties where young women and girls were forced into predatory situations and routinely taken advantage of, abused, and raped. They give similar accounts of the competitive and sinister relationship between Epstein and Trump and how it was channeled into their shared pursuit of young women.
