Epstein Documents Unsealed: Witness Testified ‘Clinton Likes Them Young’

  American Greatness  "The unsealing of documents revealing the identities of nearly 200 people linked to Jeffrey Epstein began Wednesday evening, more than four years after the convicted sex offender died in jail while awaiting federal sex-trafficking charges.

"Legal eagle “Techno Fog” quickly published some initial findings  on X. Not surprisingly, Bill Clinton,  listed as John Doe #36,” was implicated in one witness’s testimony, according to documents. Link here." . . .

"The list of names stems from a settled lawsuit filed by Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre against Epstein’s former girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell, the Daily Mail reported. After the case was settled in 2017, Giuffre and many others called for the names to be made public.

"The names that appear in the 943 pages of files published Wednesday night include celebrities, high-profile political and business figures, victims, and witnesses, providing significant insight into Epstein and those associated with him."

. . . "Prince Andrew, who has been stripped of most of his royal titles, is among those expected to be discussed in the unsealed documents. He settled a civil lawsuit with Giuffre last year for an undisclosed sum and has denied wrongdoing.

"ABC News said former U.S. President Bill Clinton would also be among those named. Epstein’s former pilot has testified that Clinton flew on Epstein’s plane several times.

"Clinton has not been accused of wrongdoing and has denied knowledge of Epstein’s sex crimes.

"Another name that could surface is Jean-Luc Brunel, a modeling agent who died in France in 2022 after being arrested on sex charges.

"Other names expected to be released are those of former Epstein employees and several people who have been sued over their ties to Epstein.

"Maxwell was sentenced last June to 20 years in prison for conspiring with Epstein to sexually abuse minors." . . .   Much more here...

Black professor once targeted by Claudine Gay had one word for her fall from grace: ‘Karma

But Al Sharpton will defend her.


Olivia Murray - American Thinker   "In a striking paradox, pro-meritocracy conservatives and pro-DEI Democrats alike can revel in the schadenfreude of Claudine Gay’s fall from grace—because her antics are just that ridiculous. In a since-deleted post to X, Ronald S. Sullivan Jr., a Harvard law professor, high-profile criminal defense attorney, and former college dean said Gay’s disgraced resignation was… “Karma.” You might recall the name from headlines a few years back—Sullivan once served as a faculty dean for Harvard’s Winthrop House, a position from which he was ousted after he agreed to represent Harvey Weinstein, in large part, due to Gay’s influence. Here’s this, from political pundit Wesley Yang:

As Dean of Faculty of Arts and Science, Gay refused to defend Sullivan’s right to provide legal counsel to an unpopular client and played a key role in the decision to remove him from his role as Harvard's first and only black faculty dean in response to student demands. In doing so, Gay shunted aside an appeal by 52 members of the Harvard Law School faculty, who in an open letter to the administration characterized the right to defend unpopular clients as foundational to their own academic freedom and to the rule of law itself.

"Gay didn’t just come after Sullivan though, she came for his wife, Stephanie Robinson, too; from an announcement via Harvard’s Crimson:" . . .

. . .Yet when Fryer undertook research into the killings of unarmed Black men in Houston, Fryer’s research found no racial disparities. He made the mistake of undercutting the racial narrative that the Left has adopted, and as a result, Gay did her best to remove all of his academic privileges, coordinating a witch hunt against him. Fryer survived Gay's crusade of discharge but Fryer’s lab was shut down, his reputation tarnished.

"So as we celebrate the departure of Gay, let’s also pour one out for the black academics who suffered demotions and destroyed reputations when they dared do their jobs in Gay’s sphere of influence."

So who wants to go to Harvard now? -Patricia McCarthy   . . ."While there are many, many qualified black American scholars, Gay is not one of them.  But Harvard would never hire the likes of a Thomas Sowell, Clarence Thomas, Shelby Steele, Carol Swain, John McWhorter, Larry Elder, etc.  Those people, scholars all, are not race-hustlers like Claudine Gay.  They do not buy in to the racist victimization ideology of the virtue-signaling DIE crowd.  It should be obvious to all now that it is the left that is racist; leftists believe they must “make allowances” for those less intellectually endowed.  As for all those brilliant black conservatives?  They are condemned for their apostasy, ignored.

"Who will want to go to Harvard now?  Its reputation as one of the three finest universities in America has been shattered.  Its most famous professor emeritus, Alan Dershowitz, is not even allowed to speak there for the crime of mildly defending Donald Trump as per the Constitution.  There is no such thing as tolerance when it comes to persons who hold any remotely conservative opinions, just as there is no such thing as freedom of speech if it deviates from the anti-American radical left (Harvard) party line." . . .

Why Are Americans At Each Other's Throats? Ask Barack Obama

There is a straight line between Obama's rhetoric and the months of the deadly, costly 2020 Black Lives Matter/George Floyd protests. Never mind that the lead prosecutor, a black man, never argued the officer-defendant was racially motivated and the officer was not charged with a hate crime.


  Larry Elder (jewishworldreview.com) "At the 2004 Democratic National Convention, Illinois State Sen. Barack Obama said: "There is not a Black America and a White America and Latino America and Asian America — there's the United States of America... We are one people..."

"After announcing his candidacy for president, Sen. Obama appeared on "60 Minutes":

"60 Minutes": "You think the country's ready for a black president?"

"Obama: "Yes."

" '60 Minutes": "You don't think it's going to hold you back?"

" Obama: "No. I think if I don't win this race, it will be because of other factors. It's going to be because I have not shown to the American people a vision for where the country needs to go that they can embrace."

"Polls offered support for Obama's optimism. The 2008 principal primary candidates for the Republicans were Arizona Sen. John McCain and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. For Democrats, the candidates were Obama and Hillary Clinton. A 2007 Gallup poll found that 42% of Americans said they would not vote for someone of McCain's age. Twenty-four percent said they would not vote for a Mormon, Romney's religion. As for Clinton, 11% said they would not vote for a woman. Just 5% said they would not vote for a black person.

"Shortly after the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, an optimistic Rev. Martin Luther King said, "Frankly I have seen certain changes in the United States over the last two years that have surprised me." He said, "We might be able to get a Negro president in less than forty years."

"Fast forward to 2008. Even those who voted against Obama nevertheless felt his victory made a profound statement about the country. Polls showed both blacks and whites expected "race relations" to improve. But after Obama's eight years in office, both blacks and whites thought race relations got worse. What happened?". . .

Why do people villainize Hamas just for trying to defend themselves?

(4) Quora:  "Stop thinking of Hamas as a plucky band of freedom fighters taking on an evil empire.

"In reality, Hamas are radical Islamists — extremely violent, misogynistic, fascistic, fanatically antisemitic, and obsessed with war.

 . . ."When Hamas talk about “liberating Palestine”, they don’t mean ending Israel’s occupation of the West Bank or its blockade of the Gaza Strip. They mean the genocidal elimination of Jews in Israel (“Palestine”) and the replacement of Israel itself with a medieval Islamic theocracy.

"Politically, Hamas are essentially Muslim supremacists, or Arab Nazis. Their primary goal is a genocide of Israeli Jews.

"They even have an equivalent to the Hitler Youth Movement. They hold summer camps for children where they literally learn how to hate and how to kill Jews. This youngster was interviewed at one such camp:

"Hamas’s mission, backed by Iran, is to destroy Israel and replace it with an Islamic state. But like other Islamist regimes, they also have zero tolerance for “Western” ideas like liberty, democracy, free speech, the right to protest, women’s rights, etc. catching on within their own population. Gazan citizens are suffering more under Hamas than they ever did under Israeli occupation. If they question Hamas’s policies, men will come to break their arms and legs. Those who oppose the cause of Jew-genocide are likely to be executed in public.

"People don’t “villianize” Hamas. Hamas fighters are no different from those al-Qaeda terrorists who flew planes full of passengers into American buildings, or any of the other Islamists responsible for countless atrocities in Russia (Moscow theatre, Beslan school), the UK (London Underground, Ariana Grande concert), France, Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan.

"Too many people imagine that Hamas are something like the cool rebel heroes in Star Wars. But a much more accurate analogy would be the Borg in Star Trek, a horde of dehumanised drones out to destroy and/or ‘assimilate’ all other races into their hive mind. The difference, though, is that this is no movie; Hamas are far worse than any villain Hollywood could imagine."

Jewish family targeted by anti-Semitic abuse in New Jersey's American Dream Mall over teen daughter's IDF jacket say 'dozens' of bystanders stood by just WATCHING as they were attacked | Daily Mail Online



. . ."Rez attributed the incident to the 'Free Palestine' movement, which she said 'has generated so much hatred and division in America that a Jewish family can't walk through a shopping mall without being accosted.'

"The video of the incident posted on X shows the confrontation already underway, with a young man and woman screaming at the family. 

" 'Leave her alone, leave her alone!' the Jewish father is heard saying as he steps in between the Palestinian supporters and his family. 

"The Jewish mother, who appears to be filming the incident, is heard saying: 'You're attacking me, you attacked me and dropped my phone!'

"The female aggressor responds: 'You're recording me without my permission! It's free Palestine 'til I f***ing die b***h! Free Palestine 'til I f***ing die b***h! Free Palestine, you should be embarrassed you're supporting genocide!'

"The Jewish father is seen herding his family away from the abusive rant, and shouting back 'What genocide?' ". . .

Women raped by Hamas were found with nails driven into their thighs and groin and were passed around by terrorists who slaughtered them after or even during gang-rape, horrifying new witness accounts of October 7 reveal | Daily Mail Online  "New devastating accounts of sexual violence and torture enacted on defenceless Israeli women by Hamas terrorists amid their brutal October 7 attacks have emerged. 

"Images shown to the New York Times by Israeli authorities showed a woman who had dozens of nails driven into her thighs and genitals in a savage example of mutilation, while other clips displayed the corpses of soldiers and civilians alike who had been either shot or stabbed in the groin.

"Another dark image dubbed 'the woman in the black dress' showed the corpse of an Israeli later identified as Gal Abdush."

Harvard President Claudine Gay's Resignation Reveals DEI Rot

 Daily Signal  

While neither Gay nor Harvard acknowledged the scandals that led to Gay’s resignation, the event demonstrates the impact of conservative media, even as the Left dominates so many of America’s institutions." 

"Claudine Gay ended her tenure Tuesday as the shortest president in the history of Harvard University, yet her resignation statement didn’t acknowledge the scandals that led to her ouster—instead suggesting that racism was to blame.

"The incident arguably illustrates the effectiveness of conservative critics in drawing attention to Gay’s many scandals, and the fecklessness of a university so rooted in diversity, equity, and inclusion that it refuses to acknowledge the ideological roots of the scandal." . . .

. . ."Furthermore, Greene and Eden noted that “Gay’s institutional rise was marked by a pattern of destroying the careers of genuinely brilliant black scholars who had the stature to point out her mediocrity.” They wrote that Gay led the charge to undermine black Harvard economist Roland Fryer and black Harvard Law professor Ronald Sullivan, who had agreed to serve as an attorney to help defend Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein from sexual assault charges.

"Reporters and analysts went through works Gay’s published work, finding example after example of text blocks apparently lifted from other writers without attribution. The steady drip-drip-drip of information, coupled with conservative outlets such as The Daily Signal demanding answers and repeatedly raising the issue of DEI in education, appears to have led Harvard to reconsider.

"These examples led Greene and Eden, among many others, to conclude that Gay had been an “affirmative action pick,” an example of the university’s prioritizing goals for “diversity, equity, and inclusion” over scholarly merit.

Human Rights Groups' Hypocrisy on Hamas Rape

 Rafael Medoff - The Lid (lidblog.com)

"There was a time when self-described human rights advocates such as Samantha Power, Human Rights Watch, and Amnesty International earned the international community’s respect for their defense of the innocent and the oppressed. But they have forfeited that respect by failing to defend the human right of Jewish women to not be raped."


"Rape during the Rwanda genocide? Outrageous. Rape during the ethnic cleansing in Bosnia? Abhorrent. Rape by Hamas terrorists? Not worthy of comment.

   " That’s the troubling position taken by Samantha Power, a senior official in the Obama and Biden administrations who has built her career on her concern for victims of genocide, sexual atrocities, and other human rights abuses." . . .

"Reuters, it happens, has also done some important reporting on Hamas rapes of Israeli Jewish women. As early as October 15—eight days after the pogrom—Reuters reported that Israeli forensic experts “found multiple signs of torture, rape and other atrocities” among the victims of Hamas. 

    "Two days later, Reuters quoted Israeli first responders describing evidence of rape on some of the bodies they found. Subsequent Reuters dispatches cited a senior Israeli police official describing eyewitness and forensic evidence of “sexual assaults” (Nov.14) and “evidence about sexual violence” with the sentence, “Reuters has seen photos corroborating some of those accounts” (November 28 and November 30). But for some reason, Power did not regard those Reuters reports as “important” enough for her to recommend.

   "Power’s silence on Hamas’s rapes is glaring because she presents herself as a champion of human rights. But she is not alone in turning a blind eye to the sexual violence of October 7. Sadly, she is typical of the painfully slow, in some cases non-existent, response of the human rights community on this issue.

   " Human Rights Watch issued fifty-one press releases about Gaza in the first eight weeks following the Hamas invasion. They were loaded with accusations about Israeli “war crimes,” with just brief, passing references to the Hamas massacres. " . . .

CNN anchor assures viewers that Claudine Gay did not plagiarize, she’s only accused of ‘copying other people’s writings without attribution’

 Olivia Murray - American Thinker   "If only there were a word for such “sloppy” work in academia when someone takes another’s writing and passes it off as their own….

"Alas though, the mystery word didn’t come to CNN analyst Matt Egan, but despite the fact that he couldn’t quite articulate it, he does know that what Claudine Gay allegedly did, is not plagiarism. See this clip below, from a segment that aired last night in the wake of Gay’s disgraced resignation:

" (He should have just taken a cue from his colleagues and referred to Gay’s actions as “mostly honest plagiarism.”) [That would be stealing from MSNBC's Ali Veldshi.]

"She’s not a thief, she just took intellectual property that didn’t belong to her.

"She’s not a cheater, she just passed off “other people’s” work as her own—as Egan says, this is a case of “sloppy attribution” and nothing more.

"She’s not a fraud, she just took credit for somebody else’s academic accomplishments.

"(Mind you, at this point, the alleged plagiarism violations now number more than 50.)

"What’s really ridiculous though is that apparently Gay’s resignation does not mean her departure, and as reported by Fox News, she is set to continue as a fixture at the university and return to faculty duties—but isn’t that just carte blanche to students who wish to cheat in her classes?" . . .

Rearranging Chairs On The Sinking Academic Ship – Claudine Gay Is Gone, But The DEI Problems Remain (legalinsurrection.com)    . . ."Claudine Gay had no choice but to resign, she had lost all credibility and was damaging Harvard’s brand. She would have presided over a zombie presidency.

"I previously wrote that I thought it would be better for the country if she stayed in the position, to keep the focus on the DEI ideological rot that lifted her into the presidency and which she championed, It’s important to Harvard that its brand survive Claudine Gay. It’s important to America that it doesn’t.

I don’t care about the “Harvard” brand, which signifies the smugness, classism, and elitism that makes me want to puke. It’s not just the Harvard brand under pressure, most of the ‘elite’ colleges and universities, particularly the Ivy League, are damaged by their reactions to Hamas’ October 7 massacre. How bad the damage is and how long it lasts remains to be seen, but it’s not a bad thing if it is deserved – and in most cases it is.

Academia has been corrupted and hollowed out by the rot caused by the DEI agenda, which elevates group identity over the individual, and skin color and physical appearance over merit. It’s also a part of why “The anti-American activists are the anti-Capitalist activists are the anti-Israel activists”." . . .

Lady DEI quits

  Don Surber

"This makes me happy because Gay’s departure may very well sound the death toll for the racist and sexist Diversity, Equity and Inclusion movement — DEI — that uses race and sex to promote division, exclusion and intolerance in the workplace."

"NBC reported, “Harvard University President Claudine Gay resigned Tuesday after facing intense scrutiny for equivocal testimony she gave at a congressional hearing on campus anti-Semitism as well as allegations of plagiarism in her academic work.”

"Unlike the Flintstones, Harvard won’t have a Gay old time.

"What do you know? I was wrong. I figured her sex and color made her invulnerable but it turns out that years of plagiarism and her tolerance for anti-Semitism caught up with her.

"I delight in knowing that Gay is now the poster child of affirmative action in which an unqualified person gets the job over a qualified person because of race or sex — or in her case, both.

"How’d she get the job in the first place?

"Glenn Reynolds wrote, “Not-so-great people tend to choose not-so-great people. In this, Harvard is like so many of our institutions, in and out of academia. If the best people aren’t getting to the top — if, in fact, the people at the top are often the worst people and are consistently mediocre — then your selection process is at fault. And if you don’t want to change the selection process, then you’re happy having your institutions run by bad leaders, with the inevitable results. That’s where we are all across America today.”

"That’s not BS. I had a boss I didn’t like (which narrows it down to every other boss I ever had) who said the secret to his success was hiring smart people. Well, he was a dummy but his executive editor and his managing editor went on to become corporate CEOs and his editorial page editor went on to become a publisher of a paper twice the circulation of the Daily Mail." . . .

HUGE WIN: Israeli Drone Strike Takes Out Multiple Hamas Leaders Who Were Meeting in Lebanon


 RedState   "A joint Mossad/IDF military intelligence operation in Lebanon has led to the death of numerous top Hamas leaders.

"Saleh al-Arouri, the leader of Hamas' military operations in the West Bank and the man responsible for facilitating money and weapons transfers for the group since the 1980s, and others were killed when the building in which they were meeting with other "resistance factions" in Beirut was bombed." . . .

"According to journalist Yossi Melman, the targeted strike was part of a Mossad/IDF military intelligence joint operation.

"About six weeks before the October 7 surprise attacks, al-Arouri gave an exclusive interview to Lebanese news outlet   Al Mayadeen in which he said the group was coordinating with "all relevant parties" in preparation for an "all-out war." He alleged that some in Netanyahu's government wanted "a major conflict" and would conduct assassinations and "tak[e] control of the Al-Aqsa Mosque" to start it."

. . ."They’re pursuing him not just for his insider knowledge of the attack but for his ties to others – possibly those “relevant parties” he cited in August.

"The attack went far beyond what was expected from Hamas alone. A mass border invasion. Drones and paragliders. Withering rocket fire. Precise raids on military surveillance, communications and intelligence hubs. Those plans bear the hallmarks of sophisticated backers from the outside.

"Current and former intelligence officials say Arouri sits at a strategic intersection of three entities: Hamas; Hezbollah, the Lebanon-based terrorist group that is considered the world’s most formidable; and Iran, the world’s deadliest state sponsor of terrorism.  

As Antifa would say, "Its the Jews fault!"

.Germany Has Fallen: Mobs of Military-Age Muslim Migrants Riot and Attack Police; “They Shot at Anything That Moves” – Allah's Willing Executioners (medforth.biz)

"Riots and anarchy spread across Germany again on New Year’s Eve, making the major cities no-go areas for women, Jews, and gays. Indigenous Germans largely avoid downtown areas on New Year’s Eve now. 54 police officers were injured, and 390 people, mainly military-age migrants, were arrested in Berlin alone.

"In several German cities, water cannons had to be deployed.

"Ever since approximately 2000 Muslim men attacked and raped 1200 women on New Year’s Eve in Cologne 2016, New Year’s Eve has gone from being a fun, happy, romantic, and slightly tipsy night out in German cities to a full-on civil war between migrant mobs with testosterone overflow and hapless, outnumbered and often outgunned German police, firefighters and first responders."

 One thought on “France: A man attacks three women in the street and storms towards the police shouting “Allah Akbar” before being subdued by a shot from a stun gun”    "When are the French going to realize these deranged invaders need to be sent back to their country of origin. How much more deprivation are the people have to suffer. These sub-humans are not refugees, they are invaders who come to change the laws of the countries they invade. Until Europeans act saying enough is enough as they act like a spoil child who continues creating havoc because he/she isn’t stopped. An Arab Christian friend said these Muslims only understand a boot on the neck. Wake up Europe and start planning mass deportations. Assez est assez, point finale!"

Eyewitness testimony to acts of rape by Hamas terrorists

Comments to this post: "It cannot be more horrific!! It's truly unbelievable that any humans can behave in such violence. Horrendous. May every one of these criminals be held accountable.

"The so called feminists in Britain, except for a few, will not condemn Hamas. Owen Jones, journalist, should be asked of himself. Do what Hamas does and swamp the MSM with the truth to dispell the vile denial of Hamas barbarity. I stand by Israel and civilisation against evil barbarity of Hamas.

Campus Anti-Zionism Dates Back to 1967 . . ."When I was at Columbia for grad school in 2013, I witnessed SJP’s “Apartheid Week,” in which images of dead Syrian kids were shown from the Syrian Civil War, pretending they were kids in Gaza.  A tepid Jewish group was reacting with the slogan “Hummus Not Hamas.”  But slogans do nothing.  Actual and accurate Zionism education equips students with facts to push back on both the innocently misguided and the purposeful Jew-haters." . . .

Why isn't there worldwide condemnation of the Hamas terrorist regime?

Harvard University President Claudine Gay has stepped down from her position due to plagiarism -

  Whatfinger News Summary   "Harvard University President Claudine Gay has stepped down from her position amidst allegations of plagiarism and a controversy surrounding her response to a question during a congressional hearing.  The incident has sparked significant attention and concern among the Harvard community and the broader public.  Normally Leftists such as Gay are immune and as Democrats, they can anything they want at all times, but in this case even the donors at Harvard stepped in.

BREAKING: Harvard President Claudine Gay is resigning, making her tenure the shortest in Harvard history. You love to see it. The resignation comes as Gay is facing multiple scandals including plagiarism and her reaction to the Hamas attacks on Israel. Gay only served for six months and two days. The video below is Gay’s reaction to protests on campus after the Hamas attacks.  – Collin Rugg

Comment to this post: "She will probably be working for MSNBC by the end of the week"… But she will need to form a bitter, angry face...kinda like Joy Reid.

. . ."Gay’s tenure as president, lasting only six months, marks the shortest in Harvard’s nearly four-century history. She was notable for being the first Black person and the second woman to lead the institution. Alan M. Garber, the school’s provost and chief academic officer, has been appointed as interim president, while Gay will return to a faculty position. The Harvard community now faces the task of finding a permanent successor to lead the institution forward."
