I had been following this. It is just revolting that he…Jared… has no concerns for the

Just revolting. The island is an environmentally protected space because of marine life and birds use it and many are endangered. I hope the people win and they have to go by by on the purchase. Megan is right they are all POS!!

Jack Hopkins's avatar

Teri...you've got the heart of it exactly right...Sazan isn't just any coastline.

It's protected...PRECISELY because of the marine life and the seabirds...some of them endangered...that depend on it.

That's what makes the whole thing sting: it's not only about who profits, it's about what gets BULLDOZED... so they CAN.

I'm right there with you...hoping the folks in the streets win this one...and raise all the hell they need to...so the deal falls through.

Thank you for reading, and for backing the work...subscribers like you are the reason I can keep digging into stories like this.

Keep raising your voice!

Also turtle nesting areas that are endangered. Makes a persons blood boil for all the greed and grift.

Great job Jack! I’ve been following the Kushner scamz with Zev Shalev & Shane Yirak on Substack, both are Kushner sleuths. I’m sad the mainstream media has ignored him, it’s like they can’t be bothered to investigate him and Affinity Partners! We need to keep these unanswered questions about the Trump regime out front and center daily!

Jack Hopkins's avatar

Elizabeth...thanks so much.

Zev and Shane are doing the work others won't touch; Affinity Partners deserves a spotlight! The mainstream silence...speaks VOLUMES.

Staying on it.

Grateful to have you along for the ride. Truly.

Thank you, Jack. I’ve been watching this ever since it hit the news. Saw Ivanka’s interview talking about the gorgeous island they’d bought. I haven’t seen Ossoff’s speech but I certainly will watch it.. all of it.

The corruption is staggering and unbelievably disturbing. They’re selling us out to enrich themselves and live a live of privilege and it makes me furious.

Jack Hopkins's avatar

Thank you...Susan. That Ivanka interview says the quiet part out LOUD, doesn't it?!

Watch the full Ossoff speech..all of it, like you said. Your anger is the right response to this. Without question.

Grateful to have you with me!

Thank you, Jack. Her interview was sickening and shows exactly who she is. I haven’t watched Ossoff’s speech yet but I will. Most likely well after midnight when sleep won’t come sigh

Grateful to be here. Always!

It takes bravery to share facts in the open and put your name on them. The key for Ossify is to wait and hear a reply and if none, press for one. If that fails then ask the voters why they are afraid to respond. My opinion.

Jack Hopkins's avatar

Steven...agreed.

Naming NAMES...in the open takes REAL nerve.

Your read on Ossoff's play is sharp: ask...press...and if there's still no reply...turn the silence into the STORY.

That refusal to answer tells voters plenty. Thanks for this!

Jon Ossoff hits the nail on the head with "coin operated" The Prince Jared story is what he focused on but here in Michigan it can be applied to the Gordie Howe Bridge fiasco. Matty Maroun buying favors to not lose his toll revenues.

Jack Hopkins's avatar

Kristine..'coin operated' is the perfect phrase for it, isn't it?!

And...you're right that it travels; the Gordie Howe fight is a textbook case.

Moroun poured money into blocking a competing bridge for years...all to protect that toll MONOPOLY. Same playbook...different state: privatize the profits...buy the influence to keep them.

Great parallel, Kristine... thanks for drawing it.

The entitlement of the Trump family and in taking advantage of US citizens by enriching themselves while an unqualified person “leads”. the country.

Jack Hopkins's avatar

CC...thanks for reading and weighing in.

The questions you're raising about conflicts of interest...and how a first family's business dealings intersect with public office...are ones a LOT of readers share...and they deserve serious scrutiny regardless of WHO holds power.

It's a topic I plan to keep digging into...and I appreciate you being part of that conversation!

Ossoff is some serious material, me thinks.

I had to hold a trash can close by while Ivanka was making her pitiful infuriating little speech about how they’d “found” this little island while on a friend’s “boat,” had a little swim and a barefoot hike. . . 🤮No mention of whose “boat” it was nor who else was on it.

I’m off to get some flamingos for my yard.

Tra-la

Jack Hopkins's avatar

Rae...Ha! You may want to keep that trash can on standby, the way things are going. And yes, the missing details in these stories (whose boat...who else was aboard) are usually the whole story.

Enjoy the flamingos...every yard could use a little DEFIANT whimsy right now.

Thanks for reading and for the laugh!

Ivanka at first did say her friends the Rothchilds' boat. Next time did not mention them by name. Damn it anyway, where is the stinging nettle and poison ivy when you need them? Barefoot in the park.

My Chihuahua would trash them 🙃

C’mon, Kels, you know you wanna.

Just another thank you, Jack. The image of the coin-op regime could be very useful! 👹

Jack Hopkins's avatar

Rachel..you're welcome.

Yes...I've already thought of a few places the use of the "coin-op regime" might be useful. No question about it.

The whole damn family is a wrecking ball of destruction with everything it touches. There’s no regard for lives, other than their own, and that of their ilk. I doubt there has ever been a greedier, angrier, more destructive, self serving bunch of fuckers in the history of the USA.

Jack Hopkins's avatar

Mo...you're clearly feeling this deeply...and you're FAR from alone.

The frustration comes through LOUD and clear.

I try to channel that same energy into digging up the specifics...and holding feet to the fire...that's where I think we can actually make a dent.

Thanks for reading and for caring this much!

-Jack

Mo Robinson's avatar

Thanks Jack, but I just read the bastard wants to chop down Washington’s beautiful grove of cherry trees to make way for the golf course it’s planning! Honest to God, there has never been a more destructive bastard!

Listened to the speech. Powerful. Need more Dems to act like Ossof

Jack Hopkins's avatar

James...it really is powerful. And...we absolutely need more Dems to follow his lead!

I did watch his speech earlier. He is an orator of the first caliber. He is intelligent, articulate, and personable. Reminds me of a few others.

Jo Burns's avatar

Yhe Grifters Mafia just may meet their comeuppance. What is happening is not crimes committed whilst in official presidential duty, it is outright theft and also murder committed to further their gains. And there's been a ton load of these crimes committed by jr., Eric, Ivanka, Jared, Barron, Tiffany and all related adjacents. We need more Ossoffs and less hand wingers worried someone with left ideals might get elected.
