It just never stops.Don Jr.'s Ambassador Ex, 57, Caught in Fresh Scandal
The former Fox News host has a frequent companion at her side, a new report alleges.

Donald Trump Jr.'s former fiancée has a mystery shadow.

 

In her capacity as U.S. Ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle has been working to secure deals with European countries to buy American liquefied natural gas-and ultimately wean themselves off Russian energy.

 

The 57-year-old has been crisscrossing the continent, buttering up politicians to buy billions of dollars of U.S. product.

 

A constant figure by her side has been the 39-year-old businessman Christos Marafatsos, according to The Wall Street Journal.

 

His presence at high-profile meetings has been so frequent that some foreign officials have reportedly assumed he was part of Guilfoyle's staff.

 

Instead, the 39-year-old is a lobbyist for Aktor, a Greek infrastructure and energy group, which recently signed a $6 billion agreement to supply U.S. LNG to Albania, despite being a newcomer in the business.

 

It is the same company Guilfoyle has repeatedly promoted, according to the Journal.

 

In Bulgaria, she told the government that it should deal with Aktor.

 

A person familiar with the talks reportedly said: "There is no doubt that this is kind of an official position of the U.S. government."

 

Government officials who have met with Marafatsos and the ambassador said he made no mention of his ties to Aktor.

 

Robin Brooks, a foreign service officer who served as National Security Council director for the Balkans and Central Europe under Biden, said that such a promotion was "absolutely problematic".

 

Bringing a registered lobbyist into meetings with foreign officials "calls into question whether the meeting is advancing American interests or advancing some sort of private interest," she warned.

The corruption never stops!

Interest rates on Treasury bills went up again today. The 30 year bill is at the highest rate since 2002.Market is down over 300 points. Meanwhile, at the White House today there is a reception and dinner for the Golden Age, It is for the billionaires and trillionaires. All the AI CEOs fall in one of those categories.
Some millionaires worth about 800 million
who have supported Trump have smoke coming out their ears, and elsewhere, because they were left off the guest list.

Well, the time is coming where ones will put the D or the R on their forehead. Let's allow Jesus' rule over humanity. Where we won't fight or be separated in ways to go.

Just more proof of which demographic of US citizens he is working for, and no one else. These are the ones getting richer off of his "insider trade" deals when it comes to oil futures and stocks.
I'm sure of it, however that's just my opinion and mine alone.

Question:

And that's from Trump's "SUPER" intelligence. 🤣😂

After making a fool of himself yesterday, Eric Schmitt is being talked about about as a VP for Vance. Now that would be a winning team. 🤣

The odds of a lame duck session of Congress, after the midterms, are increasing by the day. I would like to say it is 100% a given , but it is not. I think it will get there in time.
Two pieces of legislation seems to be somewhat a given.
First, Trump has said he wanted to halt the exports of diesel fuel. That brought massive uproar from the Hill and other places. People told him it would lead to unintended consequences domestically. After a few days of very intense screaming and yelling Trump backed down. Once again he is bringing up the issue.
The possible other item is something related to health care. There are multiple issues there but the worst one is insurance.
Lastly, recently a bipartisan group of House members toured the USS Abraham Lincoln earlier this week and they were shocked, appalled and mortified at conditions. There may be an October surprise in the form of firing or a resignation of Hegseth. Trump is getting more and more upset with Hegseth because he is not defending the proposed arch at the Lincoln Memorial to the veterans and their families.
By the way, I was driving through that area a couple of days ago.There was no sign of any start of construction at all.

The current administration/wannabe dictatorship is now making it harder for US citizens living abroad to register to vote. Democrats have filed a lawsuit.
apnews.com/article/t rump-hegseth-oversea s-voters-form-midter ms-5922e7bdef92"The lawsuit contends that the Department of Defense made the change by declaring an emergency, which allowed it to eliminate a specific box on the form. That box is typically checked by potential voters who acknowledge they are U.S. citizens but who have never lived in the United States.They are usually the children of U.S. citizens, and 38 states allow them to cast ballots provided they have close family connections. Since 2013, the box has appeared on postcards sent to overseas voters.Republicans have filed lawsuits in multiple states trying to prevent those voters, who typically support Democrats, from casting ballots. Thursday's lawsuit contends that the administration simply made the change on its own without giving proper notice."Anyone surprised by this, or other attempts by Donny Boy's administration to suppress voting? My opinion and mine alone and not my employer's.
