Newly uncovered emails from Jeffrey Epstein’s personal Yahoo account shed light on how alleged victims were exploited to recruit other women, according to a Sept. 12 report. Epstein’s emails, spanning more than 20 years but concentrated between 2005 and 2008, revealed the convicted sex offender’s thoughts and methods regarding the women he allegedly targeted, according to a Bloomberg report. The emails shed light on Epstein’s alleged recruitment tactics, showing how his female associates regularly sent him photos and profiles of young women — including details about their age, personality, jobs, ethnicity and physical appearance, according to screenshots obtained by Bloomberg....

New Yorkers may be a fickle lot, but these days we are not especially mysterious. We want what the rest of America wants.For instance, we want to go to Costco. The Brooklyn location of the nationally adored discount retailer is now the single place that most accurately reflects the demographics of the city at large, with bargain-hunting Bengalis, Bobovers, and brownstoners united in the temporary fantasy that their home is no different from Teaneck or Houston. Our tastes have never been blander: For the first time, restaurants now make up more than half of the chain stores in New York,...

Reactions continue to pour in following the death of President Russell M. Nelson of The Church of Jesus of Latter-day Saints. Nelson passed away at his home in Salt Lake City just after 10 p.m. Saturday night. ABC4 spoke with LDS Church members at Temple Square about the passing of President Nelson following the airing of Music and The Spoken Word, and the impact he had on their lives. “It was just a very beautiful experience,” said Tobin Hansen, who attended the program in person. “President Nelson did so much good for everyone and touched so many hearts.”

The Department of Justice (DOJ) announced a Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act lawsuit on Monday against pro-Palestine protestors who allegedly targeted a synagogue in New Jersey during a Nov. 2024 demonstration that turned violent. Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon believes this is the first time the FACE Act, which the Biden administration used to target pro-life activists, has been used to civilly prosecute an attack on a house of worship. “In recent years, there have been numerous attacks on synagogues throughout the United States,” Dhillon said during a press conference. “Yet there has been a lack of...

Nineteenth-century German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche once wrote that when fighting monsters, we must take care not to become monsters ourselves. Stare long enough into the abyss, he warned, and the abyss will stare back at you. Since the assassination of conservative Christian icon Charlie Kirk in Utah 19 days ago, thousands of leftists have abandoned their humanity altogether by publicly celebrating the murder, thereby forcing many of us to stare into the abyss that engulfs their souls, the depth and darkness of which, hitherto, we could not have fathomed. Now, thanks to an alleged pro-assassination transgender activist, an internet journalist,...

Can you imagine Jake Tapper, or any leading light of the liberal media, analogizing, say, Barack Obama to a murderous mob boss? Rhetorical question. But on CNN's State of the Union, Tapper did just that regarding President Trump. Discussing the impending meeting between Trump and Chuck Schumer to discuss the looming government shutdown, Tapper, making a Godfather II analogy, asked Speaker Mike Johnson: "So at this meeting tomorrow, is President Trump looking to make a deal, or is it going to be like when Michael Corleone met Senator Geary: 'My offer is this— nothing?" Johnson, a very cool customer, didn't...

When US Border Patrol boats were spotted in the Chicago River Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) demanded to know "who authorized this? I didn't authorize this. I wasn't consulted before this invasion was launched. The federal government is not communicating with me or our police department." Border Patrol chief Michael Banks said "we've posted information about our latest immigration enforcement activities on social media to let residents know what we're doing. We didn't make a separate effort to coordinate with the Mayor since he has declared he wants to eradicate law-enforcement in his city." Johnson called Banks' reply "disrespectful. He's only...

BREAKING: Chuck Schumer PROMISES he will stop President Trump's deployment of troops to Portland and ICE facilities to quell insurrection. "We will FIGHT IT! [...] This is SO FAR stepping over the line that I hope some [Republicans] will join us in legislation to prevent it - we HAVE such a proposal. I'm part of it." Good luck with that, Chuck. There is NOTHING illegal about the troops defending federal property.

A drunk Kamala Harris showed up to Howard University today to sell her book: “It was the closest election for president of the United States in the 21st Century. Periodt. Periodt. And a Howard grad did dat.

Charlie Kirk Memorial in Oregon. Jesus is lifted up and many saved. https://rumble.com/v6zlxj8-charlie-kirk-candlelight-memorial.html

BREAKING: Congressman Eric Swalwell announces he will TARGET and INVESTIGATE private citizens who work with President Trump "when" Democrats win in 2026. "Accountability is COMING. It's all coming out. I hope this deters people from doing more of these deals for the president!" "We will subpoena the DOJ, but also private actors who've done these drug deals with the administration!" So they are just announcing their plans to weaponize government now.

It's a Good Thing There Was a Large Man Around to Help Two Female Cops Subdue This 140 lb Dude

The assassination of Charlie Kirk by a radical transgender activist has once again spotlighted the growing militancy inside the LGBTQ+ protest movement. What the mainstream media won’t tell you is that this rising wave of aggressive activism isn’t happening in a vacuum. It’s being carefully studied, organized, and in some cases directly subsidized by U.S. taxpayer dollars. At the center of this network sits Erica Chenoweth, a Harvard professor who identifies as nonbinary and uses “they/them” pronouns. Chenoweth has built a career researching how youth and LGBTQ+ activists can be mobilized in protest movements, focusing less on morality or safety...

A new report by the Lancet published August 3 reiterates what media repeats daily: plastics are causing diseases, dementia and death. But the article makes it obvious that it is not the manufacturing or use of plastics; it is the recycling. Their solution is more Green spending, not less. No reversal. Burying plastics is safe and easy but never discussed because it would save money. Big Green interests have made trillions of dollars browning the earth and they refuse to stop. When did worldwide panic and spending dramatically accelerate? Buried within these top 100 facts about the green energy carnage...

EXCLUSIVE: The FBI responded on Saturday to a report that 274 plainclothes agents were at the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, clarifying the role of bureau personnel while still blasting former Director Christopher Wray.While the agents were on hand, they were sent in after the riot had begun to try to control the unruly crowd, officials told Fox News Digital. That is not the proper role of FBI agents, and Wray was not forthcoming about what happened when he testified numerous times on Capitol Hill, Director Kash Patel said."Agents were sent into a crowd control mission after the...

unday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said President Donald Trump had weaponized the Department of Justice like no other president. Host Kristen Welker said, “We have been tracking the indictment of James Comey. He’s accused of lying to the Senate in 2020. He notes the fact he was indicted by a federal grand jury. He also says he wants to let the process play out. Do you trust, do you have faith in the judicial system?” Schumer said, “I have no faith in Donald Trump’s judicial system. He has turned this judicial system to...

The Palm Beach Post published an opinion piece on September 18, 2025. While the Post says the article is only the authors’ opinion, this correspondent could not find any mention of who the authors were.The authors show they lack significant information about open carry. A couple of years ago, as of 2022, only four states prohibited the general open carry of modern handguns. They were California, Florida, Illinois, and New York. As the divide between the states following Supreme Court decisions on the Second Amendment widened after the Bruen decision in 2022, New Jersey made it illegal to open carry...

The Dylan Mulvaney effect claims another victim. After Anheuser-Busch decided to partner with self-proclaimed transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney — a man pretending to be a woman — for an ad campaign featuring him drinking Bud Light in 2023, Fox Business reported sales were down 29.9 percent for the week ending in January 2024 when compared to the previous year. That was 2023. Companies have had time to learn that customers did not want to see delusional men play dress up in a marketing effort, but here we are. Kathmandu Holdings, known as KMD Brands, has reported an $82.9 million loss...

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) shared a study that showed that left-wing terrorism had reached a “30-year high,” and criticized Democrats for using rhetoric such as “Hitler” or “fascist.” In a post on X, Fetterman included a screenshot of an Axios article titled “Study: Left-wing terrorism climbs to 30-year high.” Fetterman noted that “political violence is always wrong,” and called for everyone to “turn the temperature down.” “Unchecked extreme rhetoric, like labels as Hitler or fascist, will foment more extreme outcomes,” Fetterman said. […] The CSIS “compiled and analyzed a data set of 750 domestic attacks and plots” that had occurred...

A disconnect between the British people and their rulers is nothing new. For decades, for example, the public has supported restoration of the death penalty, but hardly any senior politician dares espouse it. The disconnect is not, however, always irredeemable. For years, a section of British public opinion wanted to leave the European Union. No major political party agreed. The more the public was thwarted, the more estranged they felt from Brussels and, indeed, from their own elected representatives. When the pro-EU David Cameron made – for him – the fatal decision to hold a binding referendum on the question,...
