Jeffrey Epstein seemingly offered to provide Russia with information about President Donald Trump during the celebrity businessman's first term in office, according to a new batch of emails released by House Republicans. In old messages released on Wednesday, Nov. 12, Epstein — who died in prison in 2019 — implied that he had discussed Trump with Vitaly Churkin, Russia’s ambassador to the United Nations, before Churkin's 2017 death. “Churkin was great,” Epstein wrote, per Politico. “He understood trump after our conversations. it is not complex. he must be seen to get something its that simple.” The outlet also reported that...

On Wednesday’s episode of “The Megyn Kelly Show,” the host bemoaned the release of new emails from Jeffrey Epstein to associate Ghislaine Maxwell and author Michael Wolff, which claim that Donald Trump knew about Epstein’s conduct — including “about the girls.” The emails were released Wednesday by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee. Kelly said Democrats will “make a ton of hay” over the new leaks. “Why didn’t Trump just release these? Just release them,” Kelly said. “Now he’s in a position of being, like, singled out as the only one, allegedly, as opposed to one of a slew of...

Donald Trump is pleading with Republicans not to release the Epstein files. The president called at least two of his congressional allies on Tuesday in an effort to get them to remove their names from a discharge petition that will force a vote on releasing details of the investigation into the pedophilic sex trafficker and his associates. That included a “very early wakeup call” to Representative Lauren Boebert, and phone tag with Representative Nancy Mace, The New York Times’s Annie Karni reported Wednesday. Trump has since met with Boebert, a White House official confirmed to CNN, though the meeting did...

The House Oversight Committee released some Jeffrey Epstein emails this morning, and, sure enough, Donald Trump is in the Epstein Files. Like a malignant ghost that haunts the President’s dreams, Epstein has risen from the great beyond to point his bony finger at Donald Trump, saying, “it was you all along.” Or has he? In an April 2, 2011 message to his associate and fixer Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein wrote “i want you to realize that that dog that hasn’t barked is trump.” Then, the word VICTIM appears in a black box, followed by “he has never once been mentioned. police...

Top Trump administration officials met Wednesday with a key GOP lawmaker about an effort in the US House to force a vote on releasing Justice Department case files related to Jeffrey Epstein... White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt acknowledged the meeting later Wednesday when asked about reporting that administration officials were huddling with GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert. “Doesn’t that show the level of transparency when we are willing to sit down with members of Congress and address their concerns?” she told reporters at the press briefing. Leavitt added: “I’m not going to detail conversations that took place in the Situation...

For the last several months, Democrats have been trying furiously to tie Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein. Aside from the fact that this media campaign is obviously not organic, it’s utterly bizarre and disingenuous. Democrats simply don’t care about ties to Epstein, and never have. They only care that these allegations can be used to possibly harm Trump. For instance, the evidence tying Bill Clinton to Jeffrey Epstein is far stronger than that involving Donald Trump, and Clinton spoke in primetime at the Democratic National Convention last year and is hardly persona non grata. Similarly, LinkedIn’s billionaire founder Reid Hoffman...

Hunter Biden is facing accusations that his laptop includes numerous suggestive images of underage girls, Rudy Giuliani announced on Newsmax TV Tuesday night.

Despite the fact they lack the physical adaptations of a climber, crocodiles can climb trees and do it regularly, a new study in Herpetology Notes finds. After studying five crocodilian species on Africa, Australia and North America, the team found that the reptiles can climb as high as six feet off the ground. Juveniles have been spotted as high as 30 feet. Combined with anecdotal evidence in these areas, the researchers found that the smaller crocodiles were able to vertically scale trees, while their larger counterparts relied on angled branches.

The newspapers are reporting that the fiscal gap is $10 billion. It is actually far more serious than that. The actual figure – according to the LAO – is that the state will spend $14 billion more than it takes in between now and the end of the next fiscal year. The difference is that we will first blow through the $4 billion reserve that the state began the year with. (That reserve, by the way, is already gone.) But the LAO is still predicting that the state’s general fund revenues will grow about 3.5 percent this year. I doubt...
