Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †
According to The Daily Mail, former British Ambassador Mandelson was arrested Monday around 4:00pm in the afternoon, questioned for several hours and then released on bail at approximately 2:00am Tuesday.
Mandelson was arrested on similar charges to those levied against Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. Both charged with misconduct in public office.
Via Daily Mail – Peter Mandelson has been released on bail after being quizzed late into the night over allegations he leaked sensitive information to paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein during his time as business secretary.
The disgraced former minister was led away by detectives from the Metropolitan Police’s Special Investigations Team – the unit dubbed the Yard’s ‘Celeb Squad’ – on suspicion of misconduct in public office yesterday afternoon.
The video of President Trump’s locker room phone call with the USA men’s hockey team is pure American. The joy and spirit of the moment captured in the voice of President Trump and the cheerful celebration of the world’s greatest hockey team. Lots of good stuff.
FBI Director Kash Patel was in the locker room holding the phone.
After Special Counsel Jack Smith was dispatched by Judge Aileen Cannon, his team continued to organize materials to frame the hit against an incoming Trump administration. Judge Cannon calls out this wrongdoing as part of her ruling to keep all the records sealed. [Ruling pdf Here]
“While it is true that former special counsels have released final reports at the conclusion of their work,” Cannon wrote, “it appears they have done so either after electing not to bring charges at all or after adjudications of guilt by plea or trial. The Court strains to find a situation in which a former special counsel has released a report after initiating criminal charges that did not result in a finding of guilt.”
British Member of Parliament (MP) Mr. Rupert Lowe shared a statement on the X platform, written by the Rape Gang Inquiry within the U.K. What is written about the abuse is horrific.
[…] ‘This inquiry is about action. We have gathered evidence, we will listen carefully over the coming two weeks, and we will then act. Our ultimate objective is justice – including the pursuit of private prosecutions where appropriate. Justice for the girls who were abused. Justice for the families who were ignored.
And justice for a country that was repeatedly misled about what was happening in its towns and cities.’ (more)
The surprise operation to kill Nemesio ‘El Mencho’ Oseguera Cervantes, leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, caught everyone off-guard. According to most media reports, El Mencho’ was killed in a Mexican military operation supported and backed by U.S. intelligence.
His death has now unleashed violent retaliation across several Mexican states, with roadblocks, arson, attacks on government infrastructure and transport systems. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, a woman who previously refused to confront the cartels directly, is now attempting to manage the aftermath.
CJNG is essentially a cartel armed with the same weapons systems as the military itself. Shoulder missiles, armored vehicles, helicopters, mines, high caliber automatic weapons and more are reportedly part of the arsenal within the CJNG cartel. These assets are now being deployed by the cartel against police and the Mexican military.
