As Democrats Keep Dropping Like Flies From Epstein Ties, They Keep Calling Trump a 'Pedophile'

 HotAir  

"Hi Wall Street Journal, here’s a better headline for you: Obama’s close friend and former White House counsel Kathryn Ruemmler is OUT at Goldman Sachs after her deep connection to Jeffrey Epstein was exposed by documents released by the Trump administration."

Obama's top lawyer Kathy Ruemmler was also Epstein's lawyer and had a long affair with his personal lawyer. She defended Epstein ....

"[Managing Editor Ed Morrissey] just wrote about the ignominious fall of Kathryn Ruemmler, Obama's White House Counsel and choice for Attorney General of the United States, a job she declined in 2014. 

"Ruemmler wasn't just close to Epstein; she was a close advisor to him both when she was in the White House, continuing the relationship up to his death. She gave him legal and PR advice, and invited him to meetings with former government officials such as...John Brennan (Hmmm...), and as Ed pointed out, she called him "uncle" when he gave her expensive gifts. " . . .

"Ed describes some of the connections between Ruemmler and Epstein, although there is vastly more out there; she wasn't just "connected" to Epstein. Her relationship was, if anything, closer to Epstein than Larry Summers', although, admittedly, she probably didn't take advice from him on how to bed conquests. 

"Instead, she consulted with him on whether to take the job of Attorney General of the United States, and did damage control for him because they were so close." . . .

Media Democrats deceptively report on plummeting murder rates so they don’t have to credit Trump

 Jack Hellner; American Thinker  

"Not ripping into the police and working to defund them all the time may help. Going after cartels, instead of enriching them with money from illegals and drugs might help. Focusing on criminals instead of DEI initiatives might help. Going after criminals instead of Catholics, parents at school board meetings, pro-life people, and Trump supporters might help."

"Most of the media is doing their best to avoid reporting on the dangerous illegals and other criminals that the Trump administration is taking off the streets. They never cared about the number of deaths at the border, how Biden’s policies were enriching cartels, how many gang members and terrorists came across the border, nor how many children were lost during the Biden years despite always claiming that they supported the law and that one death is too many.

"Now they are also making sure to rarely report that the number of murders and mass murders has plummeted in 2025 in Trump’s first years. But when they do report, like here from the Intelligencer, they claim they have no idea why that is happening:

Nobody really knows why the murder rate is plummeting

After a major spike in the murder rate that coincided with the beginning of the pandemic and lasted well into the 2020s, the last two years have seen a remarkable reversal, with killings and shootings dropping to levels not seen in decades, possibly over a century. The decline is evident in New York City, where 2025 saw the fewest shootings and shooting victims in the city’s recorded history. But the trend is happening across the country in cities big and small, including those that have struggled mightily with gun violence in recent years like Chicago (which in 2025 saw the lowest number of murders in 60 years).

"People posing as journalists at the NYT also have no thoughts as to why murders have declined: “What’s Behind the Staggering Drop in the Murder Rate? No One Knows for Sure.”

"Axios originally ran a headline saying the murder rate dropped “despite Trump” but after severe backlash, quietly retreated and edited it:. . . "

"The German Army marched into Lithuania as part of NATO war games in the first German Army deployment since 1945, waking up old ghosts. The bad news is, a message in German sent 115 years ago by a homing pigeon was just found. The worse news is, it was an acceptance letter to art school." Argus Hamilton. Questions?

Hitler’s Rejection From Art School Led To His Rise To Power | by Reginald Ben-Halliday | Lessons from History  

 Here's Why Hitler Was Rejected From Art School   . . . "In fact, while Hitler had little to no concern for his human subjects, his paintings and sketches of buildings are exacting in their geometric precision, to the extent that at least one of the instructors at the art academy encouraged him to give up painting and become an architect instead; unfortunately, this would have required Hitler to return to high school and pass some of the math classes he had previously failed, which he had no interest in doing (via All That's Interesting)." More here...

The Truth: Why Did Hitler Fail Art School From The Painting Advice

. . .. . . "Here’s a look at the typical characteristics of his early art:

• Subject Matter: Primarily architectural studies, cityscapes of Vienna, and some landscapes. He favored detailed reproductions of existing buildings.
• Technique: Precise, almost photographic rendering. He paid close attention to architectural details, perspective, and shading.
• Composition: Generally static and conventional. There was little experimentation with dynamic arrangements or evocative use of space.
• Color Palette: Often muted and conventional, lacking the vibrant or expressive use of color that characterizes more impactful art.
• Emotional Resonance: His works were generally seen as lacking in emotional depth or a distinctive personal style. They were reproductions rather than interpretations.

. . . "The failure to gain admission to art school can be seen as a catalyst that pushed him away from a creative path and towards a destructive one. While it is a simplification to attribute his entire political career solely to this one event, it is undeniable that the denial of his artistic aspirations played a significant role in shaping his personal trajectory and, consequently, the fate of millions.
