Why doesn't someone just check the value of her home...that would probably show she 's lying again.

Accountant here, yeah we just lie to people that they’re worth millions more than they are. We have a laugh over it while doing excel.

I have become friends with a retired doctor and he said psychedelic mushrooms might be useful for some with Parkinson’s.

Reading about what happened after Marilyn Monroe's death, how the cops noticed all kinds of Weird things like the cleaners doing laundry at five in the morning. What I noticed was how the cleaner discovered the body at one in the morning. Why is she checking Marilyn Monroe at one in the morning to see if she was alright if she was to be sleeping? Especially if she was laying naked face down in her pillow. They said they had to break a window to unlock a door. A window is in Marilyn's room that faces out to the hallway, not outside? Weird cop interpretation of what they said they saw and heard after arriving at Marilyn's residence. Nothing the two physicians, cleaners and cops said about Marilyn's "suicide" makes sense. And like today, I'm thinking suicides back then mean the same thing they do now, murder.

The Iranian leaders did not in reality negotiate this time either. They played time, once again. President Trump`s message about ending their civilization was a warning for the Iranian leaders in a language that they understand: start negotiating in good faith, or.... . That Trump`s warning started the negotiations. And still the Iranian leaders continue to play their highly dangerous games the same way as some idiots play Russian roulette. President Macron, PM Keir Starmer and too many European leaders with them are still unwilling and/or unable to realize Russia and China are fighting together against them and against their countries in the Middle East. And that Russia and China do that through Iran and its proxies. There is something terribly wrong with those Western leaders who refuse to understand that the US and Israel are finally putting a stop to decades of blackmailing and violence that the Iranian leaders and their proxies have been guilty of. That same ignorance and stupidity continues to apply practically to the whole international mainstream media.The Iranian leaders are still blackmailing the whole world. And practically the whole international mainstream media still talks more about how terrible President Trump is when he pressures the Iranian leaders to stop that.

Anyone else waiting for the announcement "the Vatican is less than 2 weeks away from having a nuclear weapon". Nothing would surprise me at this point.
