Virginia Giuffre’s Final Days: Lawyer Reveals ‘Positive’ Plans Before Alleged Suicide

 RTM  

"Louden emphasized that had there been any indication of suicidal intentions, immediate intervention would have followed: “If any of us had thought she’s going to commit suicide, of course we would have taken more steps, put her into a clinic or got her some more help.' ” 

The Irish Sun

"A shocking revelation has emerged regarding the final days of Virginia Giuffre, a known victim of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, before her reported suicide last Friday evening at her Australian farmhouse.

"Giuffre’s attorney Karrie Louden has revealed that since January, there were no warning signs that her client was considering taking her own life, leaving family members and legal representatives completely blindsided by the tragic development.

"The lawyer has disclosed that Giuffre appeared “positive” and had been actively making plans for her future just days before her death, raising questions about what may have occurred in her final hours.

"Louden shared that she had spoken with Giuffre shortly before the tragedy and had even scheduled a meeting with her on the very day she passed away, highlighting the unexpected nature of her client’s death." . . .

. . ."While officials spent approximately 12 hours gathering evidence at the scene, they have preliminarily determined that Giuffre took her own life through medication overdose, though the official cause awaits confirmation.

"Toxicology reports are still pending, but authorities have confirmed they are not treating the death as suspicious, despite public interest in the case due to Giuffre’s role as a prominent Epstein victim." . . .

Prince Andrew bid to rejoin royals would have been 'upsetting' for Virginia before death, says Epstein victims' lawyer | The Irish Sun   . . . "Lisa Bloom, who represents eight of vile Epstein's victims, told The Sun: "It's always triggering for my clients to see pictures of somebody they say abused them, especially just out living a good life.

"It's very upsetting. I generally tell my clients don't follow him. Don't follow the news about him.". . . 

Prince Andrew's 'new job' after Royal Family fall from grace   . . ."He was initially made to step back from royal duty in 2019 as a result of his past friendship with the convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, which was followed by the prince being accused of sexually abusing Virginia Giuffre.  

"He denied all allegations put against him.

"He was then stripped of all military titles and royal patronages in 2022 as a result of a US court case into these allegations, which was eventually settled financially." . . .

Trumping the press again

 Don Surber   

  “ 'Trump’s supporters have relished what they call the snub of the mainstream media as an opportunity to brandish his populist credentials—a gesture made all the more poignant by his attendance at a funeral for a renowned religious leader.” The press earned all the Trump humiliations."

 

"No, I am not writing another book. This is easier and more fun—much like Donald Trump’s second presidency.
"He learned the hard way in Term One. He is an accomplished politician now. He has his team in place. It is a Team of Team Players instead of that Team of Moles who reported to the RINOs not him, with Bill Barr being the phoniest and the least trustworthy.
"Hegseth, Noem and Homan are deporting the worst illegals. Patel and Rubio also have roles in this. It’s the A Team he thought Republicans would give him last time. He made his own this time. The results speak for themselves.
"His open Cabinet meetings may force people to be nice and cooperative for TV but I can imagine a Secretary of State Nikki Haley going rogue publicly in an emotional plea to save the transgendered whales from being dead-named or whatever the cause célèbre is today.
"The biggest change in the presidencies is Trump finally standing up to the press—you know the ones who reported the first assassination attempt as “Trump leaves rally after loud noises erupt” as if he were a coward.
"Fight, fight, fight, he said.
"He is." . . .

"The press continues its lies against the president. Drudge linked this Fortune fable, “The Vatican asked Pope Francis funeral attendees to wear all black. Trump wore a blue suit.”
"I found the truth on Twitter:"  Find the blue suit in the photo below.

"The court found that, “underlying all relevant parts of the [IRS] Code, is the intent that entitlement to tax exemption depends on meeting certain common law standards of charity — namely, that an institution seeking tax-exempt status must serve a public purpose and not be contrary to established public policy.' ” . . .


"Amid the boredom of a non-Christian pope’s death and the media’s obsession with the Signal messaging app, I found myself reading about Pearl Harbor this weekIt seems that as hell rained down, Marines, sailors, firemen and civilians grabbed their guns and began firing wildly in the sky at the Japanese planes.

"And none of those pilots was given due process.

"Obviously, the traditional history of Pearl Harbor is all wrong. It’s not about a sneak attack on the U.S. Pacific Fleet. The real story is that there was ZERO due process. Americans just shot at the pilots on the theory that they were enemy aliens, but with no proof, certainly no proof that would satisfy a New York Times editor.

"Not only that, but none of the Japanese pilots was given a lawyer, and there were no hearings whatsoever and no official adjudication of their guilt. I’m sure one or two of those pilots was, “Maryland Man,” “Tennessee Man” or “Ohio Man.”

"Where’s the ACLU? They’ve been asleep at the switch for decades on this denial of constitutional rights. Let me tell you, if Chris Van Hollen had been alive, he would have raised bloody hell.

"That was the day democracy died." . . .

Professor STUNS Entire Class Of Jew-Haters

 JewishUncensored   "A British professor of the humanities, who studied and lived in Britain, described his experience at a conference held in 2001 in Cambridge, during an election panel focused on the Middle East, at the time of the Second Intifada. One of the speakers, a representative of the Liberal Democratic Party who supported Israel, told the audience that it was wrong to claim all Israelis are racists. Following this statement, the audience erupted in extreme anger, to the point that the professor physically felt "waves of electricity" from the hatred and frenzy in the room.

Although the professor, despite his Zionist views, had previously tended to downplay the role of antisemitism and attributed anti-Israeli sentiments to political or economic factors, he realized at that moment — a true "turning point" — that this was not merely political criticism, but a deep, primal, and dark hatred rooted in antisemitism."


. . .“ 'I saw one of my friends, she was begging for her life,” she says. “She asked him to not kill her, to not kill her, to not kill her, and they didn’t care, they were laughing.”
She explains how, shortly after the break of dawn, her four friends were forced to line up and kneel down in the dust of an arid field."

The man behind the newest Articles of Impeachment against Trump

What has happened to the former great state of Michigan, home of the Civil War Iron Brigade Regiment 24th Michigan?

Dem who filed articles of impeachment against Trump has a closet full of skeletons… 

. . . "Aside from that tragic story, Rep. Thanedar has a closet full of skeletons. The man accusing President Trump of “tyranny” knows a thing or two about being a cold, calculated leader. As it turns out, the pharmaceutical company he once owned has been accused of horrific abuse against dogs and monkeys." . . .

. . ."Do you see a pattern here? Rep. Thanedar has a history of abuse, tyrannical behavior, and a complete refusal to take responsibility for anything. As usual, everything the left accuses President Trump of, they are guilty of themselves, and with this latest attack, the typical Dem cycle continues.

"Meanwhile, the internet is having a field day with this man’s very fluffy-looking toupee. We’ll leave you with this video meme we came across; it might give you a chuckle.

Libs Of TikTok  "Watch Democrat Rep. Shri Thanedar DEFLECT and avoid answering when a constituent BLASTS him for voting AGAINST the Laken Riley Act. This is who’s trying to impeach Trump. He’s mad that foreign terrorists are getting deported" Video

Watch Democrat Rep. Shri Thanedar DEFLECT and avoid answering when a constituent BLASTS him for voting AGAINST the Laken Riley Act.


Andrea Widburg   "Saul Alinsky, in his Rules for Radicals, warned that “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.” Democrats would do well to heed that advice when it comes to Donald Trump. Having unsuccessfully tried twice to impeach him, they’re still invested in impeachment.

"Just the other day, Georgia Sen. Jon Ossoff told a town hall crowd that Trump “has already exceeded any prior standard for impeachment” because of his meme coin contest. Of course, all candidates now offer contests, and Trump hasn’t yet sold access to the Lincoln bedroom, but none of that matters to Democrats.

"Rep. Shri Thanedar (D. MI) is unimpressed with mere promises of future impeachments. He wants impeachment now. And so he’s acted, introducing in Congress Articles of Impeachment against Trump that list several things that Thandedar thinks justify giving the people’s elected president the boot from the White House. Thanedar’s site summarizes them this way:

. . ." In other words, Thanedar dislikes Trump’s policies, and someone gave him a bunch of big words to throw around.

"In a pre-modern era, when you disliked the elected president’s policies, you’d work to win back Congress and the White House via genuine democratic processes, such as offering Americans intelligent, viable policies and doing the hard work of door-to-door campaigning. Nowadays, in the Democrat world of “democracy,” it means using threats of violence and the abuse of law and process to destroy a sitting president.

"Needless to say, every one of Thanedar's claims are ludicrous, but I want to focus on the man behind the Articles of Impeachment." . . .

Nike’s ad seemingly dismissing the Holocaust is bad, no matter how you look at it

Never Again - Wikipedia   

  • Never again, a phrase associated with the Holocaust and other genocides

Never again - Wikipedia. . ."According to Aaron Dorfman, "Since the Holocaust, the Jewish community's attitude toward preventing genocide has been summed up in the moral philosophy of 'Never Again.'"[13] What this meant was that the Jews would not allow themselves to be victimized.[17] The phrase has been used in many official commemorations and appears on many Holocaust memorials and museums,[8][2] including memorials at Treblinka extermination camp[2] and Dachau concentration camp,[18] as well as in commemoration of the Rwandan genocide.[19]

"It is in wide use by Holocaust survivors, politicians, writers, and other commentators, who invoke it for a variety of purposes.[7][19] In 2012, Elie Wiesel wrote: "'Never again' becomes more than a slogan: It's a prayer, a promise, a vow ... never again the glorification of base, ugly, dark violence." The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum made the phrase, in its universal sense, the theme of its 2013 Days of Remembrance, urging people to look out for the "warning signs" of genocide." . . .


  Andrea Widburg  "Last Friday, Israel observed Yom HaShoah, or Holocaust Remembrance Day, in honor of the 6 million slaughtered under Hitler. It is a very serious observance, including a minute of silence, when absolutely everything stops, including traffic. And last weekend, Nike observed the London marathon by putting up an utterly tone-deaf advertisement that seemed to dismiss the Holocaust’s horrors. Whether the ad arose from cultural and historical ignorance or from actual malevolence is unclear, although I lean to the first explanation. What we know is that the ad was awful.

"Here's the ad, which is best appreciated if you understand (as I’m sure you do) that “Never Again” is the Israeli and world Jewish response to the Holocaust: We will never again allow something like that to happen:" . . .

. . ."Leftists adore making Nazi analogies (and, indeed, the Palestinians, who are dedicated to Jewish eradication, are constantly recast as victims of “Jewish Hitlers”). However, they are actually surpassingly ignorant about the reality of the Holocaust. They just know it was bad, and that everyone they hate is Hitler. (And, if they’re extremists or Muslims, they claim it was a hoax so that Jews could steal “Palestine.”)"

Finally we see what a poor education system can - and has - fostered into American culture.

A cardinal symptom of TDS is the characterization of Trump as Adolf Hitler and a Nazi. The left, not noticeably given to introspection or critical thinking, obviously fails to recognize its own Nazism. 

"A fundamental tenet of Nazism is that all power be vested in the state.  Similarly, the Democrat party strives to establish a government that controls society via regulations and central planning — the Green New Deal, E.V. mandates, vaccination mandates, socialized medicine, wealth redistribution, community planning, public education, judicial activism, Obama’s “Life of Julia”, erosion of competing allegiance to family and faith — orchestrated by a permanent, unelected, unaccountable leftist bureaucracy.

Hitler sought a one-party state.  The Democrats openly advocate for statehood for D.C. and Puerto Rico, stacking the Supreme Court with leftist justices, lowering the voting age, and the importation of potential Democrat voters to establish a permanent Democrat majority.  They suppress conservative opposition via cancel culture, identity politics, DEI, and lawfare.

Hitler was anti-Semitic.  The left supports pro-Hamas, anti-Israel protests.

Hitler’s Nazism utilized a Ministry of Propaganda to brain-wash the populace in support of the regime.  The Democrats employ our MSM to the same end.

Hitler established the Hitler Youth Program to indoctrinate the young in the virtues of Nazism.  The left employs the same strategy in our education system.

Hitler utilized the military to grow his political influence. " . . . 

It Takes A Lot Of Jet Fuel To Throw A Funeral For A Climate Alarmist Pope

"If Francis’ climate beliefs were ever to become policy prescriptions, most of the world would die, starting with the poor, elderly, and sick."

The Federalist  

"John Kerry was there. Why? Because he’s John Kerry, and you’re not. The former Biden administration “climate czar” sees himself as the pope of his own religion, flying around the world in a year more than most people would in many lifetimes."

Memedroid

"In his final act as pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church, Francis, in keeping with his deep commitment to the climate and well-cultivated image of personal humility, could have foregone a papal funeral.

"To the thousands of world leaders and dignitaries flying to Rome as required by international protocol, Pope Francis could have extended an invitation to stay home. He could have ordered he not lie in state, preventing the Vatican pilgrimage of hundreds of thousands of faithful to pay their respects. He could have even skipped the motorcade through the streets of Rome. All this, as a memorable gesture to maintain a smaller carbon footprint — one last gift to the planet by not contributing to the climate crisis.

"He did not.

"In the final moments Francis’ mortal body was on this earth, the Holy Father demonstrated ever more clearly that indeed, there is no climate crisis. There are no personal actions he or the world’s elite would ever, ever, take for the climate. It is all theater.

"On climate change, Francis died as he lived: another political hypocrite.

"Harsh words coming from me, a Catholic, about the Pope, let alone the recently deceased Pope, but Francis’ climate alarmism, nay his downright climate ignorance, are far, far worse. If Francis’ climate beliefs were ever to become policy prescriptions, most of the world would die, starting with the poor, elderly, and infirm. We can only thank God the Pope no longer has an army.

"Francis visited 68 countries during his reign. The jet fuel and the tanks of gas came from somewhere. So too the altars erected in parks and fields so the enormous crowds could gather to his side. For example, at World Youth Day in Manila, the largest ever Mass in history saw 6 million in attendance. Quite a petrochemical-heavy event. Media praised Francis, who braved the pouring rain, driving the gas-powered Popemobile around the grounds wearing a waterproof, plastic poncho.

"Thank you, fossil fuels, for making it possible for the Bishop of Rome to be in the Philippines. Thank you, fossil fuel workers, laboring in difficult, even dangerous jobs, for providing him with these resources." . . .

Which takes us to more world leader satire:  McDonalds Announces Impeachment Meal Deal    Chicago, IL -- Fast food giant McDonald's announced an 'Impeachment Meal Deal' whenever Democrats try to impeach US President Donald Trump.  According to advertisements on the McDonald's website, "Every time an impeachment resolution is filed against the president, you can purchase two Big Macs, two Filet-O-Fish, and your choice of a chocolate milkshake or diet coke for only 47 cents!"  

"McDonald's CEO Chris Kempczinski answered questions about the new promotion, noting it was probably the first time a food special has been tied to repetitive, groundless impeachment attempts of a US president." . . .

Biased Journalism Erases the Hostages

Tamar Sternthal   January 15, 2025 and still they are underground.

"Hamas has buried the hostages deep in its terror tunnels. And biased journalism further entrenches their erasure." 


"There’s more than one way to erase the hostages held by Hamas and other terror groups in the Gaza Strip.

"There are the angry self-righteous mobs across the United States, Europe and beyond who ripped down posters of the 251 kidnapped children, elderly, women and men. (As of this writing, 94 of the Oct. 7 hostages are still in Gaza, and the Israeli military has confirmed 34 of them are dead.)

"Then there are the more genteel journalistic erasures which exact far greater and lasting damage than the bombastic street displays.

The more genteel journalistic erasures exact far greater and lasting damage than the bombastic street displays.

"In October 2023, The Los Angeles Times erased half of those then known to be hostages, underreporting: “Hamas militants attacked southern Israel on Oct. 7, killing more than 1,400 Israelis and taking at least 100 hostages into Gaza.” By that time, Israel had already contacted the loved ones of 203 individuals to notify them that their kin were being held by terrorists in the Gaza Strip. (The paper later issued a stealth correction due to the intervention of media watch organization CAMERA.)

"Last month, after the 251 figure was already known for many long months, a Canton Repository (Ohio) article republished in some two dozen USA Today Network newspapers across North America conjured up an even lower figure than The Los Angeles Times. It misreported that Hamas members “attacked and killed more than 1,100 Israelis, and kidnapped dozens of others including Americans, who still are missing.”

"In recent weeks, Variety devoted two flattering reviews to Michael Moore’s anti-Israel propaganda film “From Ground Zero” about the Gaza Strip, without sparing one word for the Oct. 7 massacre or the nearly 100 hostages still held by Hamas and other terror groups after 15 months." . . . More here...

Newsom Hits The Gas

 Issues & Insights

"Newsom recently bragged that California is now the fourth-largest economy in the world. That’s nice, but it won’t last long if Sacramento’s political war on oil and gas continues."


"It wasn’t long ago that a California governor made it clear that oil refineries were not welcome in his state. Then another California governor asked regulators to loosen the chains on refineries to ensure that they will be profitable and remain in the state that every day burns an enormous volume of gasoline.

"Actually, it is the same governor, one who has turned his attention from playing to his hard-left, blue-state constituency to shifting toward the middle for a 2028 White House run.

"It was just last summer when Gov. Gavin Newsom announced a “plan to prevent Big Oil ‘profit spikes’” that would also “save Californians money at the pump.” He groused about refiners “playing games to earn even more profits” and vowed to force them to “act responsibly.”

"Two months later, he signed a bill that is intended to limit “higher profits for the industry.” Within hours, Phillips 66 said that it was closing its Los Angeles refinery complex.

“ 'Without actually using the words, the company is saying there’s no reason to stick around and be abused,” the Pacific Research Institute said last fall.

"Then, earlier this year, PRI pointed out that “California is literally running out of oil refineries.”

“Phillips 66 announced it was closing its Los Angeles refinery complex in 2025. It will be the fourth refinery shut down in the state since 2020. At that point, there will be only a dozen refineries left to produce the 38 million gallons of California’s boutique blend – which is not made anywhere else, costs more than conventional gasoline, and requires oil companies to invest billions to upgrade their systems to make – that’s consumed daily.”

"Or it could be only 14. Valero is likely to close its California refinery next year.

"Mission accomplished. Then the mission changed. Now, Newsom is asking regulators to do what they can to keep oil refineries open.

"In a letter to California Energy Commission Vice Chairman Siva Gunda, sent days after Valero’s announcement, the governor asked the agency to “redouble the state’s efforts to work closely with refiners,” and to ensure that “refiners continue to see the value in serving the California market, even as demand for fossil fuels continues its gradual decline over the coming decades.” . . .

Voto Latino CEO Asks News To "Blur" Mugshot Posters On WH Lawn: "We Don't Know If They've Had Due Process"

 RCP 

 "I recognize a lot of shots are tough, but I encourage folks to actually make sure that those shots are blurred to the best of your abilities."

"Maria Teresa Kumar, the CEO of Voto Latino, told MSNBC on Monday morning that journalists reporting from the White House lawn should "blur" the mugshots of suspected deported illegal immigrant criminals on posters put up by the Trump administration.

"MSNBC's Jonathan Lemire reported: "The White House has put up about 100 posters of what they say are unauthorized immigrants who have been arrested for violent crimes."

"What’s particularly noteworthy about this location is it is right directly behind the positions where TV correspondents do their hits from the White House lawn. So therefore, no matter what network you’re on, that includes MSNBC, if you’re doing it from the White House right now, those pictures will be behind you," he said.

After Decimating Their Credibility, Networks Still Spew 'Relentlessly Hostile' Trump Coverage

 Bob Hoge


"You’re not imagining it—you’re living in a misinformation world where the major broadcast networks are regularly depicting a country that you don’t live in. For four years, they told us that Joe Biden was just fine—sharp as a tack—even though our own eyes told us otherwise.

"Since 2016, they’ve tried to convince us that Donald Trump is Hitler reincarnate, even as he’s made major efforts to stomp out antisemitism in this country and has made no move to kill six million Jews.

"Have they learned anything as their reputations have cratered and no one trusts them anymore? Of course not. They continue on their relentless campaign to demonize conservatives while pushing radical woke ideology down the throats of low-information voters. The numbers bear it out:

"Just 100 days into President Donald Trump’s second term, the broadcast evening news landscape is even more lopsided than it was eight years ago, when Trump was besieged with relentlessly hostile coverage. So far this year, the new Trump administration has faced a withering 92% negative coverage from ABC, CBS and NBC, whose flagship news programs averaged more than 19.3 million viewers during the first quarter of 2025, making them the most widely-watched news programs in the country.

"I know some readers, when faced with stories like this, say, “Who cares? Nobody watches these gaslighting idiots anyway." Unfortunately, that is not the case—as the Newsbusters report indicates, almost 20 million viewers tune in on average to these lie-fests. We can ignore it, but we do so at our own peril—just remember, we got Joe Biden for four miserable years." . . .

 WHCA 'Nerd Prom'   Marked by Insulting Gaslighting and the Press Learning Zero Lessons   "For reference, Daniels is a host on MSNBC, the most far-left network in existence. Have he and his fellow press members comported themselves as the "opposition?" Absolutely. I'd also cool it with the talk of great sacrifice from a class of people who mostly work from their couches if they aren't sitting in cushy studios. 

"Included in Daniels' words is the rank arrogance and inability to admit fault that has turned the mainstream press into a pariah. Progress would be admitting there are issues, changing their approach, and trying to regain trust. What's not progress is doubling down on how important they supposedly are while lying to people about their motivations and concerns for the public trust. 

"Remember when a verbatim question from a reporter ended up on a pre-printed Biden notecard, complete with a picture of who the questioner would be and her name spelled phonetically (because he was and remains senile)? The WHCA has still provided no explanation, and the journalist involved sits on its board." . . .

What Is Going On In Los Angeles? 

"Nor have they shown themselves capable of leading the recovery. After promising to streamline the permitting process and rebound without delay, only four building permits for owners whose homes were destroyed had been issued 75 days after the fires."  

 "In a little more than three years, Los Angeles will host the 2028 Summer Olympics. It seems fair to ask if it is going to be up to the task. The city has a nearly $1 billion deficit and will be laying off 1,600 workers. The rebuild after winter wildfires killed 12 and destroyed 68,000 structures is moving as slowly as the state’s high-speed rail project. A federal judge has told Los Angeles officials he is their “worst nightmare.” And the city is being sued by its hometown newspaper.  

"Another question comes to mind: Could Los Angeles be the next Detroit? At times, it seems it’s in a race with San Francisco to see which will be the first to reach a Motor City-like nadir.  

"Due to its “serious financial headwinds,” the city is going to have to make cuts, immediately and in the future.  

“ 'This is an enormous hole to fill,” Matthew Szabo, city administrative officer, told the City Council last month. “The severity of the revenue decline, paired with rising costs, has created a budget gap that makes layoffs nearly inevitable. We are not looking at dozens or even hundreds of layoffs, but thousands.”  As much as 5% of the city workforce will likely have to go.
