NEW: Metadata from the “raw” Epstein prison video shows approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds were removed from one of two stitched-together clips. The cut starts right at the “missing minute.”

I’ve toured Dachau and it’s a life changing experience how one human can do that to another. It’s traumatic, sad and sickening. The only difference with our Florida #concentrationcamps and Dachau is the ovens. So very sad what has happened to our country.

If you are running, invest in a good pair of shoes from your local running store. They will fit you for the proper shoe by length and support. Most stores have group runs and you will be surprised how many people are in the same boat!

His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.
