Why Melania Trump Is Hiding From Me: Wolff | Inside Trump's Head
Why would Melania Trump go global media to deny any association with Jeffrey Epstein? And why now? It smells and feels like just another Donald Trump ordered move to deflect, coverup and confuse us from the truth. But the question Melania's unprecedented press conference brings to mind is what truth?
It is pastime Melania Trump be called to testify on what she knows about Jeffrey Epstein and his dealings with young models like herself. She owes it to his female victims to tell all she knows.
If former first lady Hillary Clinton, never a young model, can be subpoenaed to testify about Jeffrey Epstein, it begs the question why not foreign-born H1-B Visa Holder (1996-2001) Melania Trump? And does Vladimir Putin have anything to say about this?
Just another day in America under the presidency of Donald Trump.

Son Sealed Guilty Verdict of Gerhardt Konig
I watched much more of the testimony than I'd planned, and I believe justice was served in finding Dr. Gerhardt Konig guilty of attempted manslaughter. A better defense lawyer just might have gotten him off. But then again, he was convicted on the facts and witnesses for the prosecution.
The Facts:
GK bashed wife in the head with a rock causing serious injury
The bloody rock was found by police and identified as the assault weapon
GK evaded capture for eight hours
GK made two phone calls to son
1. confessed his attempt to kill wife in first call
2. asked son in second call if he told anybody about his confession
3. he never said wife attacked him nor did he ask about her condition
GK ran from police when spotted and put up resistance when arrested
GK came up with self-defense story of wife attacking him first with rock
GK found guilty
To think that a father would put his 19-year-old son through an emotional challenge of truth and consequences in front of the world to see says so much about Gerhardt Konig as a parent. Some have said he displays narcissistic behavior. After watching him testify and letting his defense attorney attempt to break his son on the witness stand, I agree that from the moment GK assaulted his wife his one and only concern was how to get away with what he did.
As for his defense attorney, a Mr. Thomas Otake, he was very easy to dislike and didn't seem as polished an attorney as one would expect for such a high-profile case as this. I'm no lawyer, but I've been a juror a number of times and feel an attorney's credibility is as much on display as the witnesses'. Mr. Otake's choppy speech patterns and obfuscation of the facts seemed more exposing of a defense coverup than to shed any doubt on the evidence.
Obfuscate: baffle, bewilder, confuse, discombobulate, fog, perplex, puzzle, stupefy, stupor
When Mr. Otake showed audio/video of the victim being treated for her wounds he asked the jury to close their eyes and not look but listen to the victim. Well, we a home watching didn't close our eyes. We watched this beaten and bloody woman who survived possibly being thrown off a mountainside cliff looking the part of any heroic survivor. She fought for her life, for her children, and for the many women who find themselves victims of a man they thought loved them.
National Domestic Violence Hotline
Instead of carrying out a loving husband's birthday gift vacation plan, this man, a doctor of anesthesiology, turned into a jealous, hateful, murderous monster who unleashed scarring physical and emotional pain on the woman he once loved enough to marry and have children by.
Arielle Konig fought a good fight and is alive today thanks to her will to survive. Also, she owes much thankful prayers to the blessing of two angels appearing on the hiking path to distract and thwart the murderous attack by her husband, Gerhardt Konig.
RaiderLegend: Lawyer Cross-Examines Doctor
guilty pleasure: there were times throughout this trial that I envisioned having Mr. Konig and/or his attorney placed flat on their back on the cliffside mountain trail while a woman straddled and struck them at least two times in the head with the evidential lava rock. I know, I'm gonna die and burn in hell! Lord forgive this sinner....

Iran War Cause - Presidential Dementia Decline
Dr. John Gartner of Duty to Warn explained to SiriusXM radio's Dean Obeidallah that the White House is in full cover up mode of Trump's dementia. He noted that polls show that 60% of Americans now see Trump's cognitive slide yet the White House is hiding the fact Trump is unable to discharge his duties and should be removed via the 25th Amendment.
Dr. John Gartner makes a very convincing case for using the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office based on his disabling cognitive slide and inability to discharge his duties effectively as President of the United States. The doctor's warning is urgent in that the damage he is causing to the country and worldwide will only get worse as his cognitive capacity declines due to dementia.
My thought is that perhaps he is far too gone to be accountable for his actions, but those advising and consenting to his whims are cognitive of their actions and should be held accountable. And they can never say, "I was merely following orders," (Nuremberg Defense).
"Nobody has the right to Obey!" - Hannah Arendt
Confabulation is the creation of false memories or distorted narratives to fill in memory gaps, without the intention to deceive. Individuals genuinely believe these fabricated stories, often described as "honest lying," commonly associated with neurological conditions like Alzheimer's, Korsakoff syndrome, or brain injuries.

No Kings III
Second Cabinet of Donald Trump
One of the less crude yet still gets its point across signs I saw at yesterday's "No Kings SF" peaceful protest. American citizens from all walks of life gathered, socialized, shared thoughts and opinions, and agreed that this Trump Administration is a "bad cabinet" which doesn't hold anything constitutional or truthful safely on its shelves. Instead, it is a cabinet put together to hide and deflect from the lies, corruption, hatreds, wars and weaknesses of one little man.
"I've Seen Better Cabinets At Ikea"
Americans of all backgrounds, and the world as a whole, are on to the grift and intimidation tactics of this little man and his flunkies. They showed up and showed out in droves across the country. Yesterday's message was clear; "when we fight, we win!"
Anyone concerned about the dismantling of America as the little man attempts to become a dominating king of a nation founded on "No Kings," needs to get involved at some level of protest. Take it from the mouth of the little man who wants to look big:
"We fight. We fight like hell. And if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore." (Donald J. Trump, Jan. 6, 2021)
Organize, Take Action, Spread The Word. Here's some information from the organization INDIVISIBLE SF:

Former Raiders Center Passes
8/26/73 - 3/25/26
Barett Robbins was the anchoring center piece of the last Raiders offensive line to dominate an NFL season and win an AFC Championship (2002). Unfortunately, his mental health issues forced him away from football and down dark paths with irrevocable consequences.
Barett's story is one of a good guy who suffered from a mental disability. To hear him tell it, when he went into a manic episode, he was basically sleepwalking and not conscious of his decisions. Depression is a real, all-powerful mental state and those suffering from it should seek help immediately.
Barett played all nine seasons of his NFL career as a center for the Oakland Raiders (1995-2003). He was a first-team All-Pro earning a Pro Bowl invite in 2002. And when it comes to football legacy, he will always be honored as a Raider.
With Prayers and Condolences extended to the Robbins Family, I and Raider Nation are prayerful that Barett now Rests in Peace!

Sorry Jets - Start Spreading The News - Fernando Mendoza Will Be A Raider
Just heard ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky say Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza (6'5, 236 lbs.) is not the best quarterback coming into this year's NFL Draft. So, I researched the Alabama quarterback who Dan chose as the best, Ty Simpson.
The first thing I noticed about Ty was his smaller size (6'1, 211lbs.). He incurred a number of injuries in his final college season which likely limited his play in the latter half. Second is his experience as a starter. He has one full season (2025) as a starter. Third, and the one everyone but Dan Orlovsky equates to best quarterback in the draft, is what we all saw Fernando Mendoza do throughout the season and CFP to win the National Championship. He was deservedly named MVP of the Championship Game, to go along with the Heisman Trophy awarded for his season of play.
So why would any informed, unbiased ESPN sports analyst pick what appears to be the second-best quarterback in the upcoming draft over the first?
1. Last month Dan said he believes Ty Simpson's performance was more impressive than Fernando Mendoza's over the first eight games of the season before injuries limited Simpson. He see's limitations in Mendoza's passing game and credits a mostly clean pocket to his success. Perhaps, as one analyst commented about Dan's recent "Ty Simpson best quarterback in the draft" opinion, he is just doubling down on an earlier opinion that wasn't that popular in February.
2. My guess is Dan is just trying to foster doubt in the Raiders number one draft pick. Why? So, the New York Jets with the number two draft pick can get the truly best quarterback in the draft? Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum also shares Dan's opinion of Ty Simpson. Smells like Dan might've gotten caught up in a poker game where, in over his head, he bet a bold draft take prediction and now has to produce commentary.
3. Or Dan Orlovsky is simply a sports genius, and we're all just deer caught in the sports headlights, too fearful or confused to see anyone but Fernando as the #1 pick.
The 2026 NFL Draft is April 23-26. Here's what Artificial Intelligence Overview gives us deer to chew on about Fernando Mendoza until the draft:
