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...

I'm not saying it, Thomas Massie is saying it. BREAKING:🇺🇲🇮🇱 "Epstein had close ties to our own intelligence agency and Israel's intelligence agencies." - Republican Rep. Thomas Massie. pic.twitter.com/II9fdhGZ1h— Megatron (@Megatron_ron) November 19, 2025Yesterday, Speaker Johnson told us he was worried that if we declassified items in the files without consulting the intelligence agencies, it would be "incredibly dangerous" because, uh, critical sources must be protected. Leftwing commentators were quick to come to their own wild conclusions: BREAKING: 🇮🇱 🇺🇸 Speaker Mike Johnson claims the Epstein files CANT be released unredacted because they contain intelligence-agency material that falls under “national...

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.

President Donald Trump said House Republicans should vote to release files involving the Jeffrey Epstein case, a startling reversal after previously fighting the proposal. “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,” Trump wrote on social media shortly after landing at Joint Base Andrews following a weekend in Florida. Trump's statement followed a fierce fight within the GOP over the files, including an increasingly nasty split with Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who had long been...

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...

Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) said he thought “a hundred or more” House Republicans could vote to release the Jeffrey Epstein files.Host Jonathan Karl said, “President Trump fought long and hard to prevent your discharge petition from going through. You won that battle. Now what happens? How many Republicans in the House follow your lead and defy the president on this?”Massie said, “I think we could have a deluge of Republicans, a hundred or more. I hope to get a veto-proof majority on this legislation when it comes up for a vote. The president’s been saying...

Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender whose death by suicide has spawned intense scrutiny of the high-profile people he knew, mentioned Donald Trump by name multiple times in private correspondence over the last 15 years with an associate and an author in Trump’s orbit, according to newly released emails from Democrats on the House Oversight Committee.

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...

Senate Democrats are still clinging to tainted Jeffrey Epstein cash even while hectoring the Trump administration over releasing files about the notorious pedophile financier. Epstein shelled out a string of campaign contributions to prominent candidates when he was traveling in powerful social circles that included financial and political elites. Most were Democrats, and many recipients returned the cash or made equivalent donations to charity after his shocking arrest on federal sex-trafficking charges in 2019. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, now headed by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), took a different tack – keeping the $59,000 in Epstein contributions it accumulated through...

Prince Andrew should share everything he knows about convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, the co-writer of Virginia Giuffre's posthumous memoir has told the BBC. The book, Nobody's Girl, officially released in the UK on Tuesday, gives more details of Ms Giuffre's allegations about Prince Andrew - which he has always denied. Ahead of the release, co-author Amy Wallace told BBC Newsnight there was a period when Prince Andrew "indicated he was willing to help investigators in the US" but he was "never available, for some reason". "That's something he could still do," Ms Wallace - who spent four years writing...

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...
