Politico's Playbook on Wednesday announced what could be the biggest world news story of the year. An end to the bloody Ukraine-Russia war via a peace deal negotiated by the Trump administration. So guess where the immediate focus of the story was? If you have been following the absurd obsessions of Politico recently you would know the answer despite not quite believing it: Jeffrey Epstein. In fact their obsession in the Playbook story by Jack Blanchard and Dasha Burns, "A peace deal ‘as soon as this week’," came immediately after their joyous announcement:

democrats appear to be on a suicide mission. They are in deep disarray. Chuck Schumer is a failure and at a nadir in favorability, AOC is chomping at the bit to push him out, Jasmine Crockett continues to show why she is an idiot, and lots more. As bad as it is for them right now, they keep pushing for more disclosure of the Epstein files, which are exposing democrats as Epstein pals and beneficiaries. Back in July I wrote here that democrats could have released the files when they controlled all three branches of government but chose not to...

From The Hill newspaper, ‘The Epstein Files Transparency Act’: What’s in it? The article is the first one that I’ve come across that answers the question regarding the subject that has paralyzed Washington for the past week. The Act purports to mandate the release of The Epstein Files. The exceptions included in the Act swallow the rule. The Hill reports, Attorney General Pam Bondi has 30 days to “make publicly available in a searchable and downloadable format all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials in the possession of the Department of Justice, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation and...

🍿CBS BOMBSHELL: Epstein Accuser’s Ghostwriter Spills The Goods – Virginia Giuffre Called Donald Trump Her HERO, Not a Villain. Ghostwriter Amy Wallace, who co-wrote Virginia Giuffre's posthumous memoir "Nobody's Girl," says Giuffre expressed strong support for Donald Trump during their talks. Giuffre believed Trump would release the Epstein files and expose hidden truths. Wallace says Giuffre met Trump several times while working at Mar-a-Lago but admitted he was NOT involved in Epstein's trafficking network. @TheDemocrats desperate scramble to smear President Trump as Epstein’s pervy pal is crashing harder than a Clinton apology tour. Giuffre’s own words, via her ghostwriter Amy...

Official House results show the bill passed with overwhelming support, as 427 members voted in favour and only one Republican, Clay Higgins of Louisiana, opposed.

"I'm not controversial, so I like it that way." — President Donald Trump. Isn’t it obvious what’s at the heart of this Jeffrey Epstein psychodrama? The country is sick unto near-death with official secrecy, cover-ups, black ops, stonewalling, and never-ending games of political hide-the-salami — especially when those salamis are directed up the Republic’s own rear end. The worst victim of sexual abuse is America herself. Can’t somebody please make it stop? And so, over the weekend, psychodrama devolved to soap opera as President Trump and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene acted-out their lovers’ quarrel on every public channel of news...

President Trump said Sunday that House Republicans should vote to release the files related to late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein — a surprising reversal after previously dissuading the GOP from backing the measure. “House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide, and it’s time to move on from this Democrat Hoax perpetrated by Radical Left Lunatics in order to deflect from the Great Success of the Republican Party,” he wrote on Truth Social Sunday evening. A discharge petition for the House to vote to force the Justice Department to release all additional Epstein...

There comes a point at which you have to be amazed by how it is Democrats can find new and creative ways to embarrass the species to which we all belong. The thing to remember about the political left is that there is literally no bottom for them to hit, only an endless pit of shame, stupidity and hypocrisy through which they forever fall. That’s how you end up with the party putting up known pedophile Jeffrey Epstein as a would-be character assassin against President Donald Trump.

If you remember the wonderful Song of the South, Br'er Rabbit begs Br'er Fox not to throw him in the bramble bushes knowing, what fox doesn’t, that he’s safe there in a place where Br'er Fox will be ensnared. After the disastrous Schumer shutdown (which I predict will add impetus to a remake of the SNAP program and the end of the Obama (Un) Affordable Care Act) the Democrats amped up their nonsense about Trump having engaged in wrongdoing with blackmailer and procurer of underaged females Jeffrey Epstein. As you may recall, three judges, two of whom were appointed by...

On Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) said President Donald Trump was “losing his MAGA base” over the Jeffrey Epstein files.Host Kristen Welker said, “I want to turn to another big issue, you are pushing for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files. Your joint bill with Thomas Massie is going to come to a vote on the House floor. It’s expected to this week. Do you think you have enough votes for it to pass?”Khanna said, “We do, and there’s nothing I have been prouder of or more meaningful than this work. The credit goes...

Did Maurene Comey try to set up Trump? The Jeffrey Epstein trafficking ring keeps bringing revelations to the public, both in the US and in the UK. Now, it arises that Epstein once claimed federal prosecutors offered him to ‘walk free’ if only he agreed to implicate president Donald J. Trump in his crimes, according to the late pedophile’s ex-cellmate. The New York Post reported: “After his arrest on child sex-trafficking charges in July 2019, Epstein was transferred to the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan — where he shared a cell with ex-cop Nicholas Tartaglione, who was awaiting trial before...

Republican U.S. Representative Thomas Massie, a longtime critic of both President Donald Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson, has accused America’s political and business elite of benefiting from “immunities and privileges exceeding those of Royalty in Britain," as the release of files related to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein remained stalled in Congress. It comes after Andrew, a brother of Britain's King Charles III, was stripped of his title of "prince" and evicted from his residence in Windsor, England, amid scrutiny of his relationship with Epstein. In an email to Newsweek, Massie said: “On the day the House...

Giuffre did not name her attacker in the book, but she did in many judicial filings. Ahead of the publication next week, Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre’s memoir is making headlines as excerpts of the book are being made public. Besides the first salvo of revelations about disgraced British Prince Andrew, who surrendered his Royal titles including Duke of Yorn, a new explosive revelation sheds light on the Epstein trafficking ring. Giuffre writes that she was ‘bloodied, beaten and raped’ by a ‘well-known prime minister’ in a series of brutal encounters. The New York Post reported: “In her posthumous memoir...

@RepThomasMassie First the British Ambassador lost his job and now the Prince lost his title. Don’t tell us there’s nothing in the Epstein files. The truth is coming out and we will not give up. Repost this and tag @SpeakerJohnson if you want him to quit delaying the vote.

Book publisher HarperCollins UK issued an apology Tuesday after a recent book made claims that first lady Melania Trump was introduced to her husband through convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The publisher worked with Andrew Lownie, author of “Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York,” to remove “several passages of the book that made unverified claims” about the first lady, according to a statement posted on social platform X. Trump also shared the statement on her social media. “Copies of the book that include those references are being permanently removed from distribution,” the statement reads. “HarperCollins UK...

A special election last month secured Representative Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) the 218 votes needed to force a vote on releasing all Justice Department files on Jeffrey Epstein. But Arizona Democrat Adelita Grijalva has still not been sworn in, and Massie suspects Speaker Mike Johnson has a specific reason for the delay. Massie said in an X post he published Monday, “Contrary to what he says, Speaker Johnson is doing everything he can, including delaying the swearing in of the most recently elected member of Congress and spreading misinformation about the legislation, to block a vote in Congress on legislation to...

Attorney General Pam Bondi and Republican Tennessee Sen. Marsha Blackburn called out Democratic Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin during a Tuesday hearing for not publishing deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s flight logs.Blackburn previously said that Durbin had “blocked” her from requesting subpoenas for Epstein’s flight logs, according to a 2023 press release. Bondi made a similar allegation during a Senate Judiciary Committee, which Durbin denied, but Blackburn refuted.WATCH:“Senator Durbin, I find it very interesting that you refused repeated Republican requests to release the Epstein flight logs in 2023 and 2024. You fought that,” Bondi said. “Did you take money from Reid Hoffman...

The Supreme Court on Monday rejected an appeal from Ghislaine Maxwell, the imprisoned former girlfriend of Jeffrey Epstein. On the first day of their new term, the justices declined to take up a case that would have drawn renewed attention to the sordid sexual-abuse saga after President Donald Trump’s administration sought to tamp down criticism over its refusal to publicly release more investigative files from Epstein’s case. Lawyers for Maxwell, a British socialite, argued that she never should have been tried or convicted for her role in luring teenage girls to be sexually abused by Epstein, a New York financier....

@RepThomasMassie The government is shutdown, but the House refuses to go back in session. Why are we in recess? Because the day we go back into session, I have 218 votes for the discharge petition to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files. @SpeakerJohnson doesn’t want that to be the news.

Lawmakers in both parties fighting to force the Trump administration to release all the federal files on Jeffrey Epstein took a big step closer to their goal this week. Adelita Grijalva’s victory on Tuesday in a special House election in southern Arizona sends another Democrat to Capitol Hill — and secures the deciding endorsement of the procedural tool forcing a House vote on legislation to compel the Justice Department to disclose the still-concealed documents related to the late child sex offender. That procedural tool, known as a discharge petition, currently has 217 signatures. Grijalva is set to make it 218,...
