"So you're telling me there's a chance."We laughed when the "Dumb and Dumber" character uttered that but that attitude was reflected in real life by a New York magazine writer which makes it even funnier. Yes, the extreme Hopium expressed by that magazine's Intelligencer section senior editor, Margaret Hartmann, over the incredibly slight possibility that Jeffrey Epstein's postcard letter to imprisoned serial sex offender Larry Nassar might be valid is made hilarious by its sheer desperation despite the much less than million to one chance that it could be true. You can see Hartmann on Tuesday going full "Dumb and...

VIDEOThe release of the FAKE Epstein letter supposedly sent to imprisoned serial sex offender Larry Nassar was like tossing red meat into a small pond of starving liberal piranhas. They latched onto that FAKE letter and devoured it without the least bit of contemplation about its validity as you can see in this video. Unsurprisingly the supposed Epstein letter has been declared by the DOJ to have been a FAKE. It should have been obvious because there is no way that the DOJ under the Sleepy Joe Regime did not already go through the Epstein files with a fine tooth...

Few things better illustrate why there has been a steep decline in the quality of writing at The New Yorker under the editorship of David Remnick than his absurd reaction to finding out that a letter supposedly written by Jeffrey Epstein to convicted serial sex offender Larry Nassar which implicated President Donald Trump in something bad has been determined to be fake.On Tuesday, Remnick revealed just how sadly his obsession over his Orange Whale has overwhelmed him to the extent that he has laughably lost whatever sense of rationality he might have left as you can see in "Trump, Epstein,...

A salacious letter purportedly written by Jeffrey Epstein that directly referenced President Trump is fake, the Justice Department said Tuesday. “The FBI has confirmed that this alleged letter from Jeffrey Epstein to Larry Nassar is FAKE,” the DOJ wrote on X hours after it pledged it was “looking into the validity of this alleged letter.” Epstein purportedly wrote the letter to fellow jailed sex offender Larry Nassar — the disgraced USA Gymnastics doctor who is serving hundreds of years of prison for abusing girls under his care.

The FBI's handling of child sexual abuse investigations must improve, an internal watchdog said in a new report released on Thursday. The report comes more than 3 years after it came to light that the FBI was aware of U.S. gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar molesting female athletes but did not act quick enough. "The DOJ OIG found that further improvements are needed to build upon the FBI’s recent changes to its crimes against children and human trafficking (CAC/HT) program to ensure it appropriately addresses child sexual abuse allegations," read a summary of the report.

The Department of Justice has agreed to a $138.7 million settlement with victims of sports physician Larry Nassar who accused the FBI of failing to adequately investigate the convicted sex abuser. Acting Associate Attorney General Benjamin Mizer announced the settlement on Tuesday, saying: “For decades, Lawrence Nassar abused his position, betraying the trust of those under his care and medical supervision while skirting accountability.” “These allegations should have been taken seriously from the outset,” he said.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has become an unhinged, unchecked state police service that needs to be reined in and overhauled. In recent times, this was an opinion one found only on the right. It should be a bipartisan issue now. All the while it was crafting a hoax about Russian collusion that was designed to destroy the president of the United States, the FBI was deliberately covering for a serial rapist of little girls. Me: McKayla Maroney’s testimony (video below) was particularly graphic and brutal. She not only detailed the horrors Nassar visited upon her, but she also went...

Former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe said Wednesday that the bureau's handling of an investigation into disgraced physician Larry Nassar was the worst “dereliction of duty that I have ever seen over the course of my 20-plus years with the FBI.” “It's just the — and the consequences, my god. The priority of the FBI is to protect the American people and uphold the Constitution and they failed in the most heinous and awful way, in a way that allowed upwards of now the numbers are somewhere in the range of 100 additional people, young women, to get victimized.

The mid-Michigan man who led American gymnasts to gold in 2012 will soon face criminal charges. 6 News Capitol Correspondent Tim Skubick reports that the Michigan Attorney General will announce charges against John Geddert on Thursday.

On Netflix the new documentary ‘’Athlete A’’ is a very well made and smartly constructed documentary covering the recent exposure of the longterm sexual abuse that was taking place with USA Gymnastics. The title refers to the initial witness who anonymously came forward to state on the record how she, as a gymnast, had been the victim of abuse, and it is a detailed account of how the institutionalized permissiveness of abuse in the organization was exposed. The tale of how an official USA Gymnastics doctor was able to abuse young girls for decades, and be shielded by those who...

The father of three daughters who were abused by Larry Nassar tried to attack the former doctor in an Eaton County, Michigan, court Friday before he was tackled and arrested by security. Randall Margraves said he was a "distraught father" and cursed at Nassar, but Judge Janice Cunningham told him that was not allowed in court. He then asked the judge for personal time alone with the "demon." "I would ask you, as part of the sentencing, to grant me five minutes in a locked room with this demon," he asked. "Would you give me one minute?" The judge declined,...
