Bargains galore, y’all:
NEGROES, NEGROES.
Auction Sales.
By ‘Jacob Cohen’ & Son.
The undersigned has just arrived in Lumpkin, Georgia from Virginia, with a likely lot of negroes, about 40 in number, embracing every shade and variety.
He has seamstresses, chamber maids, field hands, and doubts not that he is able to fill the bill of any who may want to buy. He has sold over two hundred negroes in this section, mostly in this county, and flatters himself that he has so far given satisfaction to his purchasers.
Being a regular trader to this market he has nothing to gain by misrepresentation, and will, therefore, warrant every negro sold to come up to the bill, squarely and completely. Give him a call at his Mart.
‘J. F. MOSES.’ Lumpkin, Ga., Nov. 14th, 1859.

In 18th century and early 19th century Rhode Island, slave auctions were routinely postponed on Jewish holidays. Jews Selling Blacks, published by Nation of Islam, has a compendium of slave auction posters from that era.
Ah shit, I’m stranded in the past, and can’t get back! Gotta stop this weekend time traveling. 🙁

In the summer of 2025, amid President Donald Trump’s stern immigration crackdown, Ungaro, arrested on charges of fraud at the medical spa where she worked, sat in jail. Like many immigrants, she was then placed in ICE custody and deported from Miami back to her native Brazil. But what, from the outside, appeared to be a routine removal procedure under the Trump administration has quite the back story.
Paolo Zampolli, an Italian former modeling agent turned presidential special envoy, had asked ICE to detain Ungaro, his ex-girlfriend, amid an ongoing custody battle over their child, the New York Times reported in March. Zampolli’s relationship with the president, according to a caption on his Instagram, has endured for over 30 years.
Paolo Zampolli is a Milanese-born former modeling agent who long cultivated ties to Donald and Melania Trump and later served in ceremonial and advisory roles in the Trump orbit; he is best known for introducing Melania to Trump and for his appointment as a presidential special envoy and board member of cultural institutions [1] [2]. Recent reporting centers on allegations that Zampolli leveraged those connections to contact senior ICE officials during a custody dispute — a claim he denies and that federal officials say may not have changed the ultimate immigration outcome [3] [4] [5].
In a video discussion with Glenn Diesen, MIT professor Ted Postol provides an illustrated description of the results of dropping three low-yield nuclear weapons on Tel Aviv. He describes the initial blasts, the firestorms that would follow, and the subsequent wind-driven radiation.
Ted Postol delivers a blunt warning to the Israelis: if you go nuclear on Iran, they will nuke you back with weapons they can assemble in a few weeks from enriched uranium. Postol also warns Israeli leaders: Americans are fed up with you. Israeli is not going to receive the lavish US recovery aid it expects. You genocidal monsters have screwed the pooch.

Like everything else, Operation Samsonite is getting costly:
‘Driven by pent-up demand, air tickets for flights to New York in August operated by Israeli carriers El Al and Arkia, which currently have a monopoly on the route, are now selling for more than $2,000, compared with less than $1,200 six months ago, according to Yoni Waxman of Ophir Tours. Flight tickets on the route had cost around $1,300 during the same period in 2025.
‘Currently, tickets for August travel to nearby Athens are priced around $600, and to London and Paris over $800, depending on the dates, Waxman said.’

On the bright side, high fares keep fleeing apartheid colonists away from here. 🙂
Donnie Trump whistles past the political graveyard, after Melania foolishly reignited the Epstein scandal:
‘Trump said Friday that he had known his wife wanted to speak about Jeffrey Epstein at some point, and that he “thought she had a right to talk about it,” even if he had not known what exactly she planned to say.
“It doesn’t bother me,” Mr. Trump said in a brief telephone interview. “I didn’t know what the statement was,” he said, “but I knew she was going to make a statement.” — NYT
Ouch! Too late, Donnie! A terrible, possibly fatal, public relations blunder has occurred. Had Melania just ignored the accusations of Amanda Ungaro, a Brazilian model trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell in the late 1990s, Ungaro’s claims might not have gotten much traction:
“I will tear down your corrupt system, even if it’s the last thing I do in my life,” Ungaro posted on X. “I will go all the way — I am not afraid. Maybe you should be afraid of what I know … of who you are, and who your husband is.”
“I have nothing left to lose in my life,” Ungaro continued. “I will tear down the entire system — be careful with me bitch.”

Instead, Melania flatly denied having a relationship with Epstein and Maxwell, despite damning photos and her chirpy Oct 2002 email to Maxwell. Melania conceded that email (it was in the Epstein files), but unconvincingly tried to dismiss it as just an empty social gesture. #FAIL
Now, Ungaro’s charge that her former boyfriend and Trump ally Paolo Zampolli used improper influence to get ICE to deport her gains traction. Zampolli, moreover, is the one who introduced Melania to Trump at the Kit Kat Club in 1998, when Melania was 28. Though Melania doesn’t fit the profile of Epstein’s teenaged victims, speculation is now rife that Melania herself may have been trafficked by Epstein’s deceased pal Jean-Luc Brunel, who also died in prison by ‘suicide.’
This is no ordinary kerfuffle. The combination of a war going badly and the Epstein scandal flaring back to life might be a final showstopper. Give it say, four months to marinate, and the White House may be getting new occupants by August 9 — the date Nixon flaked off. You heard it here first.
Here’s hoping so Jim.
