Demanding that everything instantly be released—assuming that the Deep State didn’t already destroy incriminating materials—is a recipe for disaster. Over 90% of the responses and discussion about the way the Trump Administration has mishandled the Epstein documents and records have been emotional, vitriolic, or filled with outrage. I can understand why and agree to a large degree: What Jeffrey Epstein did, likely with the approval (if not outright endorsement) of Western intelligence agencies, was a crime against humanity. However, it is in these moments when faced with immense evil that we must proceed with clear heads and not react emotionally....

The release of the “Epstein client list” has long been the holy grail for the Maga movement. Supposedly, this list, once released, would incriminate a veritable who’s who of liberal elites complicit in Jeffrey Epstein’s child sex-trafficking operation and expose the moral rot at the heart of the Democratic establishment. The mystery surrounding the Epstein files also became a vehicle for QAnon conspiracy theorists to push their ideas about a “deep state” cover-up of a network of global pedophiles into the broader tent of the Maga movement. During his campaign, Donald Trump promised on several occasions to declassify the Epstein...

The vote failed 211-210, and the full truth remains hidden. As TGP readers know, this measure would have forced Attorney General Pam Bondi’s Department of Justice to publish all Jeffrey Epstein–related documents—including flight logs, communications, and purported client lists—on a publicly accessible website within 30 days. The Gateway Pundit reported earlier that in a jaw-dropping move late Monday, House Republicans once again slammed the door shut on transparency, voting 7‑5 in the Rules Committee to block Rep. Khanna’s amendment that would have forced Bondi and the Department of Justice to publish all Epstein‑related files publicly. Last week, Khanna (D‑CA) announced...

The late billionaire pedophile and former FOB (Friend of Bill) Jeffrey Epstein had no client list, according to Pam Bondi's Dept. of Justice and Kash Patel's FBI. Really? No 3-ring binders, no Rolodexes, no paper trail, no computer records, no emails or phone numbers, nothing pertaining to any clients? The DOJ does acknowledge it has thousands of hours of lurid, revolting video depicting underage girls being sexually abused by men. So are we to understand none of the men's identities can be made out on video? If, hypothetically, there were videos depicting a former President, or the former CEO of...

The Epstein saga continues, now with a bit of legerdemain. The alleged "Epstein list" has disappeared. Pam Bondi made the announcement a couple of weeks ago. When asked about the list In February, Bondi did say "It's sitting on my desk right now to review.” Then it stopped existing. When questioned about her February statement, Bondi did try to walk back her "Epstein list" comment after the DOJ memo shut down the idea of a client list existing. She claimed she was talking about the broader case files, not some specific bombshell list. "I was referring to the entire Epstein...

mRNA technology pioneer and prominent critic of the COVID-19 establishment Dr. Robert Malone declared that he cannot support former President Donald Trump’s bid to return to the White House as long as the candidate continues to stand by the COVID-19 vaccines his administration oversaw.

Jack Bauer Doesn't Jump - More's the Pity Previously on "24' the show made sense. But Monday night's finale, when we sat through 90 minutes of set-up, waiting for the usual slam bang finish, only to have a touchy-feely episode of "Grey's Anatomy'' break out, was the end. The big finish, with Jack Bauer standing on coast, looking moodily out to sea, was some kind of weird Hallmark card for secret agents. I kept waiting for the cliff to blow up, or a black helicopter to appear on the horizon, but no, it was just our Jack, alone with his...

NEW YORK - Her on-off relationship with Jude Law made her an overnight celebrity, but Sienna Miller says that wasn’t her goal. “I was just never desperate to be famous, which I know sounds cliched and probably like a lie, but it is, in my case, very true,” the 24-year-old actress says in the January issue of W magazine. “And that’s the irony of my situation. “It was always about acting, and now it’s all about everything but that. I fell in love with someone very, very famous, and that’s beyond all of our control. Strategically I probably could have...

Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn had not split up before Thanksgiving. In fact, the former Friend tried to convince her on-again, off-again boyfriend to make the 12-hour flight from London (where he's been filming the comedy Fred Claus) to L.A., to join Jen for the holiday. When he turned her down, she ended up alone joining best friend Courteney Cox-Arquette and hubby David Arquette.

Full Image NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) - A lawyer for Anna Nicole Smith said Tuesday that he was the father of the reality TV star's newborn girl, who has been the couple's one "ray of hope" as they have grieved the death of her 20-year-old son in the Bahamas. Howard K. Stern, who was with the family in the hospital the night that Daniel Smith died, told CNN's "Larry King Live" they had named their daughter...

In their additional analysis of the autopsy results, the Dutch pathologists could not resolve the mystery: why is the mark on Milan Babic’s neck narrower than the belt he used to hang himself? The public prosecutor’s office in The Hague will not reopen the case, while Judge Parker believes that the Tribunal should not conduct any further enquiries into the matter The fact that the mark on Milan Babic’s neck is narrower than the belt he used to hang himself is “exceptionally uncommon, but not completely impossible,” the additional report filed by the Dutch Institute for Forensic Medicine notes. The...

The female is the facilitator who attracts the less frugal male to the bar. Bringing females to a bar is a conspicuous display of your wealth, but in this case the currency has 34-Cs. Rolling into a venue with an attractive female on each hip is like pulling up to an awards show in a Bentley Continental GT - completely unnecessary, yet thoroughly effective at getting your point across.

Message from Evan: Dear WYWO fans: As you’ve probably heard, after four amazing seasons full of laughter, fun and some great (and admittedly quirky) designs, WHILE YOU WERE OUT is finally packing up and heading home. Yes, the rumors are true and this current season is our last. It has been a great ride...one that I’ll cherish and always remember, but the time has come for each of us to move on.
