 NY Post    "Virginia Giuffre, the most prominent victim of late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, took her own life Thursday — just weeks after she made headlines for saying she had “four days to live” following a collision with a bus

“It is with utterly broken hearts that we announce that Virginia passed away last night at her farm in Western Australia,” the 41-year-old’s family said in a statement to NBC News.

“She lost her life to suicide, after being a lifelong victim of sexual abuse and sex trafficking.”

Virginia Giuffre was one of Jeffrey Epstein’s most outspoken abuse survivors.

"Giuffre took legal action against billionaire financier Epstein in 2015, alleging that she was sex trafficked at 16 after his ex-lover and convicted madam, Ghislaine Maxwell, recruited her from her job as a locker room attendant at President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort.

"The mom of three also alleged she was forced to have sex with disgraced Prince Andrew three times when she was 17 — including at Epstein’s Little St. James island, in New Mexico and in Maxwell’s London home, where a notorious photo of her posing with King Charles’ brother was taken." . . .

"UPDATE: Trump later banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago after reports surfaced that Epstein had approached underage girls at the club. Trump later banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago after reports surfaced that Epstein had approached underage girls at the club."  "The  View" will likely leave this last part out.

Giuffre also alleged that she saw former President Bill Clinton on Epstein’s private island, though Clinton has denied visiting the property.

UK Daily Mail:  Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre dies by suicide after troubling Instagram posts   . . ."Giuffre said Maxwell hired her as a masseuse for Epstein, but the couple effectively made her a sexual servant, pressuring her into gratifying not only Epstein but his friends and associates."

Giuffre said she was flown around the world for assignations with men including Prince Andrew while she was 17 and 18.

The Duke of York denied the allegation, as has Maxwell - who is a convicted sex offender - while Epstein died in a New York prison in 2019.

She filed a federal lawsuit against Andrew in 2021 which he agreed to settle for an undisclosed fee in 2022. He has denied ever having sex with her. 

She had alleged she had sex with Andrew three times,  in London during a 2001 trip, at Epstein's New York mansion when she was 17 and in the Virgin Islands when she was 18.

UPDATED 4/26/2025: A Message to Larry David: Curb Your Derangement

 American Spectator  

"And this brings us to the painful, all-too-obvious irony. Larry David, the man who once gave us the Soup Nazi, an emblem of absurd authoritarianism taken to extremes, now pens op-eds warning that Donald Trump is quite literally Hitler"

"Larry David is a legend. The irritable neurotic behind Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm turned petulance into a form of performance art. He gave awkward silence a pulse. His misanthropy is somehow warm. His genius lies in the discomfort. But in his latest op-ed for the New York Times, titled “My Dinner With Adolf,” David overreaches. Way over.

"The piece, a satirical riff on Bill Maher’s recent dinner with President Trump, imagines a Jewish critic having a charming, disarming meal with Adolf Hitler. The tone is classic David — deadpan, absurd, snarky. But the comparison isn’t just distasteful. It’s entirely self-defeating. By invoking Hitler, David attempted to sharpen the critique. He failed. (RELATED: Enough with Leftist Fantasy — Hitler Is Really Dead, and He Should Finally Be Buried)

"The Holocaust isn’t a metaphor. Hitler isn’t a meme. Six million dead Jews, plus millions more murdered across Europe, aren’t props for a punchline. Yet, in David’s hands, they become set dressing for a sketch about Trump’s charm offensive.

"The point he’s trying to make is that private likability doesn’t absolve public harm. It’s a fair point. However, once you start goose-stepping around the Holocaust to make it, the moral high ground crumbles immediately.

"And here, I suggest, is the deeper problem: the invocation of Hitler always backfires. It transforms conversation into emotionally charged theater. It eliminates nuance. It hands your critics a gift-wrapped reason to dismiss everything else you say. Even the Times, in its own editorial note, felt compelled to clarify that David wasn’t really comparing Trump to Hitler. When your satire needs a trigger warning from the editorial board, maybe, just maybe, it missed the mark.

"Like many in Hollywood, David is furious, absolutely furious that someone they once considered “one of them” (Bill Maher) could sit down with Trump and come away seeing a man instead of a monster. And Maher didn’t just sit down. He publicly praised Trump’s demeanor. That triggered a kind of cultural autoimmune response, a reflexive, self-sabotaging lashing out designed less to engage than to punish. Read more...

UPDATE: Larry David: No Longer the Master of his Comedic Domain  . . ."But today, that free spirit has been crushed, and David has become a propagandist for the Democrats.

"Larry's net worth is said to be over $400 million, so he isn't doing this to put food on his table. 

"David's parody pieces targeting Trump are disappointing on many levels. Firstly, they are lame and uninventive. Trump has been compared to Hitler since the day he descended the elevator at Trump Tower to launch his campaign for President. On MSNBC, pundits are sacked if they don't compare Trump to Hitler at least once a week. The comparison was hence neither provocative nor original. 

"The piece was predictable, devoid of any depth or insight, and, surprisingly for David, lacked humor of both dark and light varieties. This is the kind of shallow writing that escapes your mind when you finish the last word. 

"David could have been inventive, focused on the human aspect, and depicted Maher as a George Costanza kind of character groveling before his former adversary for personal gains.

"The insane reaction from David and others to the Maher-Trump dinner once again provides an insight into the Democrat cult." . . .

The Press Is Back In Full Frenzy Mode, But This Time Nobody Is Listening

 Issues & Insights  

"But what else can the mainstream press do? After having predicted the end of democracy and the rise of “fascism” should Trump be elected, or reelected, they have a vested interest in proving themselves right."

"You’d think the mainstream press would have learned a lesson or two after committing so many embarrassing mistakes in its effort to “get” Donald Trump and cover up for Joe Biden over the past eight years. But no. It’s already back to its old and terrible habits.

"Shortly after the election, Vanity Fair published a story that led with this admonition to the press: “Every outrage and insult can’t be a five-alarm fire, as it’s critical for the media to stay focused on the most serious threats to America’s democratic institutions.”

"Former New York Times editor Jill Abramson cautioned her colleagues to “watch and restrain headlines on stories that are needlessly hyperbolic or over-the-top negative.”

"Brian McGory, former Boston Globe editor, said it’s “time to cover his actions and policies, his successes and his failures. To do it through as conventional a lens as possible, while not normalizing mayhem, and a willingness to acknowledge when things go well.”

"But instead of heeding this advice, the mainstream press went right back to its frantic Trump-hating roots.

"News stories assume the absolute worst about Trump. Reporters run with thinly sourced stories to attack him. They freak out about everything he says. Stoke panic at every turn. Endlessly predict doom and gloom. Play up astroturf protests. And studiously ignore whatever successes Trump does achieve. When context is needed, it’s ignored.

"This makes it all but impossible for the average American to know what they can trust, or when there actually is something to be concerned about. When everything is a crisis, nothing is.

"When rogue federal judges started routinely issuing universal injunctions against Trump executive orders, a practice that is legally suspect and was extremely rare until Trump showed up, the story wasn’t how these judges wildly overstepped their bounds, it’s that Trump was creating a “constitutional crisis.' ” . . .
