Israel is perhaps the most despised nation on earth today.

It is only the most ignorant and blindly loyal supporters of Trump that are unaware of the fact that America’s greatness is being systematically dismantled by an inept and self-serving leader.

As political scandals go, Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged sex-trafficking of underage girls to VIPs, seems to get only bigger and more intriguing with time. Under Trump’s administration, the Epstein file has taken on another dimension as consistent teasing and politicizing of the case by those who now sit high in Trump’s administrative circle, to try and throw shade on previous Democrat administrations, is a grenade going off in their own lap, as they try desperately to bury that w
