On Wednesday, the Trump administration signed a 30-year nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia that paves the way for the kingdom to enrich its own uranium.
If this were Hunter Biden instead of Jared Kushner, we'd never hear the end of it. Instead, as noted, mostly silence. I get it for the outlets that are specifically trying to curry favor with Trump, even if I detest it. For the others, though? You would think a story of corruption involving an ethically unsound Saudi regime would be of interest. For crying out loud.
Don't worry, those nineteen MSM and Right Wing outlets merely *forgot* to mention the $110 million the Saudis have already placed in Kushner's pocket. Kushner, while unapproved to represent the US by our Senate, is adhering to Sec'y of War Simon Cameron's definition of an honest politician.
"An honest politician is one who, when he is bought, will stay bought"
Only Trump and his dimbulb son-in-law would think it's a good idea to give nuclear technology to well known murderer MBS and the country that bankrolled the 9/11 attacks while supplying the majority of the terrorists themselves.
I am grateful that I do not have grandchildren. We have created a world that is not fit for human habitation.
Scum like Kushner and Trump have ruined what was left of the greatest generation. They have brought the era of “every grifter for himself”. Screw everyone else.
The corporate controlled media betray us by looking away hard at Jared Kushner's incompetence, nepotism, conflicts of interest, broken promises, foreign entanglements, self dealing, inurement to self benefit, unprincipled poppycock, stupid face, and blatant corruption.
Love the "stupid face" in the list of deplorable things about Jared. Somehow you left out the word "pampered" which is the first thing I think of when I see his stupid shiny face. How much does he spend on moisturizers and exfoliation?
Fifteen of the 19 September 11th hijackers were from Saudi Arabia. Never forget indeed. Or, maybe, I am remembering wrong. Was it Never Forget for under a $1B, after that, amnesia!
Keep reporting. Keep reporting this new nuclear arms race.
Stunning Benedict Arnold’s soul lives in the bodies of this Congress and this presidential administration. The USA already has a monarchy: It’s very one Romanov family.
Kushner, this time around, is an “advisor” with no title, no official position, no Congressional approval, no accountability. We’re supposed to believe that he is unselfishly volunteering his time for “world peace.” The truth is that he and the whole Trump clan are very clever vectors for an outrageous level of self-dealing and corruption. What is even more disturbing is that so many Americans don’t seem to care.
" What is even more disturbing is that so many Americans don’t seem to care."
Yep. I've heard any number of variations of the following theme as have we all. What's the matter with that? Everyone else does it! Well what about Hunter Biden, huh? You didn't mind when it was him!!!
Welp, young 'uns, this is the world MAGAts have forced upon you. I'm old and ill so my marching days are over, so I'm afraid it's up to you to hit the streets and the voting polls. I'll still vote, call, write to try to help you save the U.S. from a very ugly future, but I'm afraid the majority of the work falls on you.
I suppose the question is; how will we walk this (and other) agreement back in any of the next Administrations? Obviously, Congress has no role and I've yet to hear any pushback. I totally understand a given country wanting to transition from fossil fuel to another, like nuclear, but we do have existing international accords in place. Why circumvent them?
“Trump administration ignored warnings from career staff at the Commerce Department when it granted the United Arab Emirates sweeping access to advanced American semiconductors and other technology.”
And there it is. A seed has been sown in an area known to grow all kinds of... trouble.
I am neither surprised nor shocked at the deal. Come on America! Let’s just celebrate the deal with a government that is one of the worlds worst human rights abuser. We can all dance on the heads of women buried in pits up to their necks, dance on the graves of the 9/11 victims, and then dance with the man who ordered the death and dismemberment of a journalist. All makes perfect sense.
The Trump administration is Corruption Inc. The response of the US media: look away. No wonder Trump doesn’t want the BBC to get his financial information. We might actually learn something.
Of course this stinks to high heaven. It's bribery on an unbelievable scale wherein Kushner gets big bucks and the Saudis get nukes (or the means to create nukes) under the control of a leader who is not a bit reluctant to murder and butcher his enemies.
What I'm hearing on public media this afternoon is how much Israel is freaking out (which I suspect is part of the point since Netanyahu has taken to defying Trump lately). Trump just seems determined that, if he doesn't get his way by bullying, he'll just destroy the world to get even with everyone for not giving him all the toys and letting him call all the shots, worldwide.
It's not really a joke anymore to compare Trump to Anthony Fremont of the Twilight Zone episode, "It's a Good Life." I wonder if the Republicans realize how likely he is to destroy the economy on purpose and destroy them just before the midterms because they wouldn't go along with his desires to totally screw up those midterms.
We may even come to the need for quick court action or even military intervention against Trump/Hegseth, et al, if Trump decides to declare martial law, shut down Congress, and suspend the elections.
Independent substack, Youtube and other media platforms, will follow Judd's lead. Will the MSM? Haven't they lost the chance to lead with this news, that is, to put Jared's corruption into this story as it broke? Or at least cook up a quick sidebar. Who made the decision to leave it out? With the list Judd provided it almost looks like a ... conspiracy.
Once again you are one of the few that consistently shines a light on the corruption of this administration. I subscribe to your Substack because you follow the money and report the facts. People reading, if you don't subscribe to Judd's Substack it is worth every penny to keep him and his two reporters working. Subscribe today!

Are you feeling reassured yet?
Only Trump and his dimbulb son-in-law would think it's a good idea to give nuclear technology to well known murderer MBS and the country that bankrolled the 9/11 attacks while supplying the majority of the terrorists themselves.
Time for another 9/11, don't you think? Seems that's what's brewing. trump working with Muslims, when he banned them in his first time 'round. smfh
Are we great yet?
TREASON and recklessness, brought on by the drug called power and the abundance of money.
No wonder my children have sworn off ever raising a family. There is no future in it.
I am grateful that I do not have grandchildren. We have created a world that is not fit for human habitation.
Scum like Kushner and Trump have ruined what was left of the greatest generation. They have brought the era of “every grifter for himself”. Screw everyone else.
Climate change is going to make this planet a very miserable place to live on in the very near future.
I think it already has. Ask Europe and Japan how they like it.
India, China.
Avarice knows no bounds nor boundaries!
That's sad. Also, tragically, given the circumstances is understandable... (My daughter, too.)

My first thought went to 9/11 too! With friends like these...
My second thought went to bone saws and Wapo reporters. Besties!
Besties indeed.
Keep reporting. Keep reporting this new nuclear arms race.

The Romanov's had NOTHING in common, from a criminal standpoint, to this mob family.

I was actually surprised at two of the news outlets listed. AP and The Guardian! Perhaps I'm being just a bit naive.
The Guardian has been compromised for awhile—they canned a bunch of reporters in favor of AI several months ago—I steer clear of them.
I missed that- good to know! Thank you!
I too didn't know and appreciate your timely update Kate!
Bears repeating.
