Just when you thought Trump would run and hide from all this Epstein stuff (see Epstein's 2018 email about Trump and Bubba), he's going all-in on releasing the files. But first, check out this 2015 video of Trump talking about Epstein and Prince Andrew: VIDEO AT LINK................... BREAKING - A 2015 clip of Presidential Candidate Donald Trump bringing up Epstein Island before anyone knew who Epstein was is resurfacing. “That island was a cesspool. Just ask Prince Andrew. He’ll tell you about it.” "A guilty man doesn't mention something he wants to hide." Now, in 2025, the president is calling...

Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem announced that efforts to nab illegal alien sex offenders have resulted in the apprehension of 230 foreigners accused of a variety of crimes including child molestation, sexual assault, drug offenses and murder. "This operation was called Operation Criminal Return," Noem said. "But I call it Operation Dirtbag because the specific targeted individuals are sex offenders, many of whose victims were children. These individuals should have never been in our country to begin with. These individuals will be gone off of our streets and kids will be safer." Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass) objected, saying "Noem...

Four suspected illegal migrants drowned late Friday night when a smuggling vessel capsized in rough waters near Imperial Beach, California. The U.S. Coast Guard recovered the bodies and rescued several others after a “panga-style” boat overturned near Seacoast Drive, triggering a multi-agency search and rescue operation. Four survivors were hospitalized, and one individual was transferred to Border Patrol custody. According to a United States Coast Guard press release, the incident began close to midnight on Friday when the Border Patrol in Imperial Beach, a city just south of downtown San Diego, notified the Coast Guard that a “panga-style” boat had...

WASHINGTON — First son Barron Trump was “very respectable” when he crossed paths with former President Joe Biden at the Capitol Rotunda for his father’s inauguration in January, according to his older brother Eric. Eric, 41, finally shed light on his brother’s viral interaction with the 46th president, while speaking to podcast host Megyn Kelly during an interview in Miami last week. “One night I call Barron and I go ‘Buddy, what did you actually say?’ And it was something so polite I almost wouldn’t even get it right,” Eric recounted to Kelly. “But like, ‘Congratulations, and best of luck...

Socialist dictator of Venezuela Nicolás Maduro on Sunday sang John Lennon’s Imagine to send a new “peace” message to U.S. President Donald Trump amid rising tensions between both countries. Maduro delivered his cringe-worthy performance during an event of the ruling United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) in the Venezuelan state of Miranda — a mandatory broadcast by the regime’s media apparatus. “Second task. Peace Peace Peace, do everything for peace. As John Lennon used to say, right?” Maduro said, before asking his Communications Minister Freddy Alfred Nazareth Ñáñez, “how did the John Lennon so go?” The Venezuelan dictator, in what...

“Donald Trump's would-be assassin appears to have used 'they/them' pronouns on a website known for hosting pornographic 'furry' material. Thomas Crooks, who shot Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, at the height of the presidential campaign in 2024, is linked to the accounts 'epicmicrowave' and 'theepicmicrowave' on the website DeviantArt. The website hosts sexually explicit images of 'furries' - human-like animal characters. The accounts linked to Crooks used 'they/them' pronouns used by the transgender community and his activity suggested an interest in cartoon characters with ripped male physiques and female heads.”

NATIONAL BAKLAVA DAY On November 17th, National Baklava Day fills the kitchen with an aroma of a sweet and flaky pastry. Baklava's sweet layers of texture and flavor are created between sheets of filo pastry filled with chopped nuts and drizzled with syrup or honey. #NationalBaklavaDay Many believe Baklava to have originated with the Turkic people in Central Asian nations. However, many countries prepare the dessert in a variety of ways. The word “Baklava” first appeared in English in 1650. If you've never tried baklava, try sampling the many varieties. Walnuts, pecans, pistachios, or almonds can be used. The filling...

An Algerian national allegedly assaulted two women in the back of his New York taxi in separate incidents but is still snagging fares after getting a sweetheart deal from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, the New York Post reported Saturday. Records show that Mohammed Bellebia, 34, was allowed to plead guilty to lesser charges in at least one of the incidents, according to the newspaper.

Two months ago today, people who enjoy comedy breathed a sigh of relief when Disney suspended low-rated late-night “comedian” Jimmy Kimmel for what he’d said, and planned to say, about Charlie Kirk’s murder. Less than a week later, Kimmel was back on the air. In between was an orgy of leftist outrage about how President Donald Trump was somehow responsible for forcing Kimmel off the air, that this was yet another sign of authoritarianism on the march, and “the mask of ‘free speech’ coming off for good.” Our favorite was a warning from “actor” Mark Ruffalo, who went on Threads...

Rep. Brad Sherman blamed Elon Musk’s X algorithm for serving him saucy pictures amid a potential scandal involving him scrolling through softcore pornography in public. The 71-year-old California Democrat was photographed looking at pictures of lingerie-clad girls on his tablet while on a flight. The pictures of Sherman were posted to X by the Dear White Staffers account, an account made of a “group of Capitol Hill staffers working to expose poor working conditions.” The images were later reposted by Donald Trump Jr.

VIDEOPresident Donald Trump has already been CLEARED of any wrong doing in the Jeffrey Epstein case. Yes, the Sleepy Joe Regime which did everything in its power to bring down Trump including multiple court cases of politically motivated lawfare to try to jail him as well as at least two attempts to assassinate him absolutely already went through the Epstein files with a fine tooth comb to find anything harmful for Trump. The fact that nothing damaging against Trump had been leaked out long ago means that Trump has been thouroughly vetted and, ironically, cleared by the the Biden Lawfare...

Europe is facing a growing wave of anti-Christian violence, with Germany recording the highest number of arson attacks in 2024. According to the Observatory on Intolerance and Discrimination against Christians in Europe (OIDAC Europe), a total of 2,211 anti-Christian offenses were documented across the continent, including 274 personal attacks involving physical violence and threats. Analysts warn that these figures reflect a climate of growing intolerance that affects local communities in concrete ways. While Europe saw a slight decrease from 2,444 offenses in 2023, OIDAC Europe attributes this to incomplete data collection. Serious incidents included the fatal November 2024 attack on...

The War Department is narrowing its research and development strategy to six "Critical Technology Areas" officials say will speed up innovation and strengthen America’s military edge. Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering Emil Michael said the plan will deliver faster, more focused results to the warfighter by merging overlapping programs and steering funding toward technologies that will shape future conflicts.

He was not a wolf in human clothing. A man who risked death by approaching a pack of wolves in the middle of Yellowstone National Park was captured in wild video by horrified bystanders. The clip showed a man in a white scarf striding across an open field toward a group of five black wolves while a crowd of parkgoers watched in alarm on Oct. 6. “This could end very badly for that guy,” somebody was heard saying in the video, which was first posted to the aptly named Facebook group “Yellowstone National Park: Invasion of the Idiots.” The man...

Fifty-year mortgages is one of the worst ideas to emerge from his cabinet. But, in the Ingraham interview, Trump seemed to discount his supporters' frustration over these issues.When Ingraham asked him why we need those 600,000 Chinese students, and that the placements they take should be given to American students, he replied that without them, many schools would go out of business. She said, “So what?” Indeed! Trump asserted that all those foreign students pay full fare but that is not true. They get financial aid in about the same percentage as citizen students. He must backtrack on this issue....

The Editorial Board of The New York Times stated, “By apparently committing suicide in his Manhattan jail cell on Saturday morning, Jeffrey Epstein spared himself a lengthy trial that could have sent him to prison for the rest of his life on federal sex trafficking charges… While Mr. Epstein will never face a legal reckoning, the investigations into his crimes and those of others connected to him must continue. His premature death shouldn’t stop law enforcement authorities from finishing the job that they finally took up seriously years after they should have.” Then, “The evidence against Mr. Epstein was overwhelming...

The fan, who was identified as Sam Green, was standing and cheering after Green was called for a foul on Pelicans forward Herb Jones.
