Epstein

Fetterman Criticizes Democrats for Withholding Epstein Files Under Biden Presidency.    WHAT HAPPENED: Democratic Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman criticized the former Biden government for not releasing files about deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein during its time in office.

Democrats reach again into the great pile of Epstein-files doo-doo and just can't find their pony  

"Anyone who got in his way, as Trump definitely did by throwing him out of his Mar-A-Lago club for coming on to the young women and girls there for his evil perversions was, in Epstein's diseased mind, the worst person he'd ever met. Epstein served Epstein, so anyone who didn't was bad news to him."

Democrats Released Three Cherrypicked Epstein Emails, so the GOP Released 20,000  "The so-called bombshell consisted of three email exchanges. The crown jewel of their selective leak was a 2011 email between Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell in which Epstein described Trump as "the dog that hasn't barked." He noted that a victim had spent hours with Trump at Epstein’s house.

"Democrats redacted the victim's name in their release, but we know exactly who they were talking about: Virginia Giuffre. The reason for the redaction becomes clear when you learn what Giuffre has actually said under oath. She has testified that she never witnessed Trump engage in any wrongdoing. She stated that Trump never acted inappropriately with her, that she never saw Trump and Epstein together, and that she never saw Trump at any of Epstein's homes. Her memoir reinforces this point, making abundantly clear that Trump had zero involvement in Epstein's illegal activities.

"White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt wasted no time setting the record straight. "The Democrats selectively leaked emails to the liberal media to create a fake narrative to smear President Trump," Leavitt said Wednesday. "The 'unnamed victim' referenced in these emails is the late Virginia Giuffre, who repeatedly said President Trump was not involved in any wrongdoing whatsoever and 'couldn't have been friendlier' to her in their limited interactions."

"Leavitt went further, reminding everyone of what actually happened between Trump and Epstein. "The fact remains that President Trump kicked Jeffrey Epstein out of his club decades ago for being a creep to his female employees, including Giuffre," she explained. "These stories are nothing more than bad-faith efforts to distract from President Trump's historic accomplishments, and any American with common sense sees right through this hoax and clear distraction from the government opening back up again." . . .

The Democrats’ Latest Trump-Epstein 'Bombshell' Actually Vindicates Trump

And With That Development, the Dems’ Latest Trump-Epstein Stunt Has Imploded  . . . "And this is why Democrats can’t be trusted with all the files—not all of them are real. They want anything that can be used to damage Trump. In this case, it could be alleged, to the shock of no one, that they manufactured a fake news story. NONE of the Epstein victims who have come forward have accused Trump of wrongdoing. Also, the victim in this document dump is the late Virginia Giuffre, so why are Democrats making it look like she committed perjury? It's just a mess."

Trump Asks Supreme Court to Throw Out the Worst Biden-Era Miscarriage of Justice Against Him

 PJ Media  

“President Trump has clearly and consistently denied that this supposed incident ever occurred. No physical or DNA evidence corroborates Carroll’s story. There were no eyewitnesses, no video evidence, and no police report or investigation.”

"To its everlasting shame and (one hopes) the abiding disapproval of historians for generations to come, the Biden regime weaponized the justice system against President Donald Trump, and much of the damage has yet to be undone. On Monday, Trump asked the Supreme Court to undo one of the most egregious miscarriages of justice he suffered for the crime of being the leader of the opposition against Old Joe Biden and his leftist henchmen: the civil judgment that he sexually abused the partisan fantasist E. Jean Carroll in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room sometime in the 1990s, and subsequently defamed her in speaking about the case.

"Carroll’s story has more holes than a slice of Swiss cheese that has been used for target practice, but despite failing to produce any evidence to substantiate her claims, she kept winning in court — believe all women, doncha know, even the crazy mendacious ones. But Trump’s team kept on appealing, and who knows? Maybe sanity will finally prevail at the Supreme Court.

"The Associated Press reported Monday that Trump’s lawyers “argued in a lengthy filing with the high court that allegations leading to the $5 million verdict were ‘propped up’ by a ‘series of indefensible evidentiary rulings’ that allowed Carroll’s lawyers to present ‘highly inflammatory propensity evidence’ against him.” 

"Indeed they were. Back in Sept. 2024, Trump attorney Will Scharf pointed out quite correctly and in considerable detail that the alleged victim’s story "at its heart is an utterly implausible, he said she said story."  Serious allegations of the kind that Carroll made are supposed to be established on the basis of evidence and witnesses, but Scharf noted that in this case, there was “no corroboration for anything” that Carroll claimed about what went on between her and Trump.

"The fix was in from the beginning: Carroll’s attorneys never produced any “corroborating witnesses” or “confirmatory DNA.” She filed no police report at the time of the supposed incident, and couldn’t even pinpoint when exactly her encounter with Trump was supposed to have happened. “No surveillance evidence or witnesses have ever been found or come forward confirming any aspect of E. Jean Carroll’s story.' " . . . More...

Here’s How To Measure Obamacare’s Failures

  Issues & Insights

"Having Democrats pave the way for Obamacare’s repeal would be a perfect end to Obama’s miserable legacy."

"By shutting down the government for more than a month to protect Obamacare, Democrats may have opened the door to its repeal. That would be a fitting ending to the failure they birthed 15 years ago.

"The Democrats’ entire justification for keeping the government closed was to force an extension of (temporary) enhanced “Affordable Care Act” subsidies added during COVID-mania, which they now claim will create an affordability crisis if allowed to expire.

"The irony might have been lost on Democrats, but President Donald Trump saw an opportunity to target this public policy failure once again, suggesting lawmakers scrap Obamacare’s massive subsidy scheme – which directs billions of dollars to insurance companies –  and give the money directly to people so that, as Trump put it on Truth Social, “THEY CAN PURCHASE THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE.”

"The fact that this debate is even happening is proof that Obamacare has massively failed to live up to its grand promises.

"After all, when Obama sold his health care reform plan to the public in 2009, he said that “It will provide more security and stability to those who have health insurance. And it will slow the growth of health care costs for our families, our businesses, and our government.”

"He said that “reducing the waste and inefficiency in Medicare and Medicaid will pay for most of this plan,” that “the middle class will realize greater security, not higher taxes,” and that it will “slow the growth of health care costs” and “reduce the deficit by $4 trillion over the long term.”

"None of that turned out to be true. Health care costs didn’t slow. Premiums didn’t go down. Nearly 30 million adults still say health care is difficult to afford or access.

"Annual deficits have exploded since Obamacare became law. Medicare and Medicaid are still rife with waste, fraud, and abuse.

"And while the number of uninsured has gone down, that’s entirely the result of more people becoming dependent on the government for health care. In 2009, just 26% of Americans were on some form of government insurance. By 2023, that number topped 34%." . . . More...

The Gender Totalitarians Are Still with Us

 American Greatness  

"The trans craze has spread through social contagion for some time now, and we are still feeling its harmful effects. It will fade eventually, but who knows what the next all-encompassing fad will be? I shudder to think."

. . . "An analysis of campus surveys by Eric Kaufmann from the Center for Heterodox Social Science found that the number of college students identifying as transgender decreased by 50% between 2023 and 2025. On a similar note, psychologist Jean Twenge’s analysis of the annual Cooperative Election Study, conducted by YouGov, found that transgender identification among 18- to 22-year-olds dropped by nearly 50% between 2022 and 2024. She concludes that “it looks like the peak of trans identification is in the past.”

"However, a recently released report from the Society for Evidence-Based Gender Medicine presents a different picture. Using data from the larger National College Health Assessment, the report reveals that transgender and “nonbinary” identification among U.S. college students is at an all-time high—ranging from 4.7% to 6.7%—although it may be leveling off.

"Also, the immensely profitable transgender movement is set to expand, according to Market Research Future. The business consultancy asserts that the “Gender Dysphoria Market Industry” is quite healthy and expected to grow from $13.93 billion in 2025 to $63.53 billion by 2032.

"The reality, as noted by UCLA’s Williams Institute, an LGBTQ advocacy group, is that 99.4% of the population lacks the physical traits that cause someone to become transgender. The 0.6% of the adult population who experience gender dysphoria—a condition that causes significant distress—certainly deserve empathy and respect.

"Additionally, Brown University physician and researcher Lisa Littman published a study in 2018 indicating that “rapid-onset gender dysphoria” in young people might be influenced by social and peer contagion. She emphasizes that nearly 70% of teenagers were part of a peer group where at least one friend identified as transgender.

"Nevertheless, the trans phenomenon persists, and our schools are at the forefront of the fad.

"The Los Angeles Unified School District may be the nation’s leader of the movement. District policy allows children to socially transition their genders at school without informing their parents. They can also use school facilities such as locker rooms and restrooms, and participate in sports that align with their gender identity." . . .

In California, Hate Won Again

American Greatness "California’s voters, blinded by hatred of Trump, keep empowering the corrupt coalition that’s driving the Golden State into decay, debt, and disorder."   

"For a generation, voter denial of common sense in favor of self-righteous hate has sustained an elite coalition that has nothing but contempt for the generations of hard-working Californians who built the state and even now keep it afloat."

Got problems? Talk to the hands.

“Stick it to Trump.” That is the strategy of the Democratic Party in California, and it’s working. For 28 years, the Democrats have controlled both houses of the state legislature, and apart from Schwarzenegger’s interlude from 2004 to 2010, there’s been a Democrat governor since 1999. Nothing seems likely to change; this month, California’s voters approved a redistricting plan that is expected to reduce the number of Republican U.S. Congressmen to four out of 52. Democratic dominance in California’s cities and counties is equally absolute.

"And yet they’re not accountable. Democrats in California have perfected the art of persuasion with an electorate that for over two generations has been indoctrinated in public schools by teachers who themselves have been indoctrinated to hate capitalism, resent wealth, rebuke “whiteness,” and celebrate hedonism. All Democrat candidates have to say is “protect abortion,” “fight racism,” “climate emergency,” or “stop the Nazis,” and voter reaction is Pavlovian. Peak conditioning was achieved in the special election of 2025, when all they had to say was “stick it to Trump,” who they have turned into the biggest boogeyman since Hitler (someone who, just to be clear, really was a boogeyman).

"So who are these Democrats? Who are the elites that have locked down the largest state in America, and who aspire to extend their dominion over the rest of America?

"The figurehead, of course, is the suddenly pugilistic Gavin Newsom, a gifted politician and a terrible governor. His latest schtick is to throw out profanity and threats as if he’s the noirish reincarnation of a 1930s gangster. And in an intriguing twist, this phony act camouflages a genuine thug because the substance of Newsom and the machine he represents are crimes against the people of California, justified and sold with lies.

"Newsom is the front man for a coalition of public sector unions, including the communist teachers union, radical environmentalists and their crony corporate backers, grifting “homeless advocates” and the politically connected and taxpayer subsidized developers who back them, a public sector bureaucracy that preys on law abiding people trying to run small businesses while deliberately ignoring an entire underground economy of illegal immigrants, trial attorneys and litigators who feed on private attorney general laws that empower them to exploit countless laws and regulations to extort money from honest people, addict enabling civil liberty extremists and the libertarian dupes who find common cause with them,  drug addicts, drug dealers, and drug cartels who control entire sections of California’s major cities and thousands of square miles of territory in California’s remote northern counties." . . .

Keep it up, California. Keep listening to the dangerous clowns who lead the ruling coalition. Let them destroy the oil industry until there are lines for gasoline and the price goes from $5/gallon to $10/gallon. Let them shut down natural gas and nuclear-fueled power plants at the same time as EVs and AI are rolling out, so there are brownouts and blackouts, and electricity rises from $.30/kWh to $.60/kWh. And while they laugh all the way to the bank as you pay four times the national average price for gasoline and electricity, remember it’s because of the “climate emergency.”

"Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Mamdani Wolf? Not me!"

 Joan Swirsky 

"Not to omit the immense might of the Greek Empire.  Um...gone, while those pesky Jews continued to make disproportionate contributions to mankind, as they do today."

 

"I stopped counting the massive numbers of articles — both before and after the election of November 4, 2025 — that predicted the complete devolution/collapse/implosion of New York City, a huge exodus of both Jews and Christians, as well as businesses and the Wall Street financial district to friendlier climes in what was anticipated to be the full-fledged conversion of the Big Apple from capitalism to communism, from law and order to a runaway crime wave, and from historical diversity to full-bore antisemitism and the passionate embrace of Islamism and sharia law if Zohran Mamdani was elected mayor.

"None of it fazed me.  I didn’t even watch the returns.

The next day, I did read about the Democrat “sweep” in, predictably, blue states.  That didn’t faze me, either.

"Why?  Because I know both American history and Jewish history, and both of these blazingly inspiring histories have survived and prevailed quite gloriously over far bigger fish than the diminutive Mamdani, with his high-priority agenda, including his inflammatory embrace of Hamas, his stated hatred of Jews and Israel, his embrace of the Democratic Socialists of America and their annihilating mission statement to purge NYC of all things Jewish — and to “arrest Netanyahu and active IDF soldiers for war crimes” — and his promise to empty the city’s prisons of all its hardcore criminals, and his determination to replace the vital life-protecting and life-saving services of the police department with social workers.

Newsom, Not Trump, Is Code Red for America

An ABC interview shows the California governor’s cards  

"But it isn’t President Trump. The Code Red’s name is California’s Governor Gavin Newsom. And he wants to be president. Buckle in."

"Well, of course.

"Here’s this headline over there at Real Clear Politics: “Newsom: Trump Is ‘Code Red’ For America, ‘I’m Disgusted That People Aren’t More Outraged.’”

"The story reports that California’s Governor Gavin Newsom was recently interviewed by ABC’s Jonathan Karl, saying this:

“I really am scared to death about what’s going on in this country. I really believe it is Code Red,” he said. “We won’t have a country. We won’t have an election that’s fair and free if we don’t stand up. We won’t. There will not be a fair and free election. It’ll be a Putin election. Was it 87 percent or is it 87.3 percent? That’s what Trump wants.”

" All the pardoning, all the, this, this great grift — the biggest, most corrupt administration in history. Not just the $400 million plane, but the billion dollars of your tax money, as we’re cutting food stamps to pay for the damn plane so he can take that toy home with his foundation when he’s 93 or whatever he’s done with his fourth or fifth term.

"…I really am scared to death about what’s going on in this country. I really believe it is Code Red. We won’t have a country. We won’t have an election that’s fair and free if we don’t stand up. We won’t. There will not be a fair and free election. It’ll be a Putin election. Was it 87 percent or is it 87.3 percent? That’s what Trump wants.”

"Well, aside from the hysteria, one can only wonder: Where was Gavin Newsom when clan Biden was using the presidency to loot for the family business of enriching that family business? Where was the Newsom outrage?

"It didn’t exist.

"Here’s a headline from Newsweek: “Joe Biden May Have ‘Fostered’ Family’s Corruption, Legal Analyst Warns.”

"This gem, straight from a liberal media outlet, reports:

"Legal analyst Jonathan Turley paints a stark picture of President Joe Biden and his family as corrupt “grifters” and “influence peddlers.”

Turley, a professor of public interest law at the George Washington University Law School, said the Bidens are leaning into the “grifter defense” because it makes any alleged crimes or improper business dealings look less serious.

However, Turley told Newsweek, grifting is still corruption.

“If the president knew his family was engaged in ‘influence peddling,’ the president by definition is corrupt. The current defense doesn’t have the legs to carry the president out of the scandal,” Turley said via a telephone interview on Saturday. “Factually, it’s becoming more difficult to see how the president wasn’t aware of the influence peddling.”

"All of that and nary a peep from Gavin Newsom while all of this Biden corruption was ongoing in the White House? Imagine that. (RELATED: The Biden Corruption)" . . .More...

Don’t Let the Brits Read The New York Times

 Ann Coulter

  "I’d put all this in a tweet, but with these prim British, so punctilious about the rule of law, I might end up in jail. Unless I’m a Pakistani, in which case I could gang-rape little English girls without risking arrest because the police don’t want to appear “racist.” Ah well, it’s the Mother Country. We must learn from them about the sacred rule of law." 

"I’ve spent the last 10 days in London, a city I love. History, architecture, museums, tea, the accent — it is perfection. But the Mother Country is slightly retarded on the meaning of the rule of law.

"I appeared at an event on Monday evening hosted by The Spectator magazine to debate the question, “Is America Great Again?” Me: YES! Peter Hitchens: No. (As an aside, I won!) The “go-to” line of my debate opponents — that is, Hitchens and the audience — was, But what about the rule of law?

"President Trump is blowing up Venezuelan boats. He’s deploying the National Guard to our cities. He’s allowing immigration officers to beat up, arrest, detain and deport illegal aliens. All this, they say, violates the rule of law, morality, decency and the very foundation of Anglo-Saxon order.

"Which can only mean Londoners read The New York Times, and not ironically.

"First, the poor “fishermen.” The president is the “commander in chief” of the military, charged with defending our country from foreign attack and not, for example, ensuring the peace in Mogadishu, Ukraine, the Middle East, the Balkans, etc. etc. etc. As noble as those goals may be, that’s not what Americans are paying taxes for and it’s not the president’s job.

"The poor fishermen are drug-runners. Drugs pouring into our country from narco-terrorist states and drug cartels kill about 100,000 Americans every year. That’s more than were killed in the entire Korean War and Vietnam War combined. For comparison, Islamic terrorists have killed fewer than 5,000 people on U.S. soil in the past 25 years.

"We finally have a president deploying our military to save American lives, and Londoners seem to imagine that Trump has stomped all over the rule of law. We wouldn’t hear a note of dissension if only he were using our troops to feed starving Somalians or bomb Yugoslavia.

"The Britons were particularly exercised that, by firing on Venezuelan narco-terrorists in our own hemisphere, Trump had violated the War Powers Act of 1973 — the flaw of which should be immediately apparent from the words “of 1973.” Passed by the post-Watergate Congress, during what is known as “the most destructive period in American history,” the law demands that presidents get congressional approval before deploying troops for more than 60 days.

"(How was this a response to Watergate? Evidently, if only President Johnson hadn’t gotten us involved in a ground war in Asia, there never would have been a break-in at Democratic headquarters in the Watergate hotel.)

"The law is obviously unconstitutional — again, the president is the commander in chief — and every president has ignored it, including President Obama, who didn’t get approval from Congress when bombing Libya for most of 2011, resulting in Moammar Gadhafi’s assassination in late October. Hillary Clinton, the war’s architect (despite not being the commander in chief, but instead secretary of state), exulted, “We came. We saw. He died.' ” ...  More...

The Human Face of Terror: Returned Israeli Hostage Speaks Out

"A traumatized Israeli hostage held captive for more than two years in Gaza revealed that he was sexually assaulted and tortured so sadistically by Jew-hating terrorists that he begged them to let him starve to death.

"Rom Braslavski was kidnapped on Oct. 7, 2023, by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, a Hamas ally, and subsequently stripped naked, starved and sexually abused until he was finally released earlier this year, he revealed in a chilling interview with Israeli media.

“I came back from a meeting with the devil,” Braslavski told Israel’s Channel 13. " . . .

. . . “It was sexual violence, and its main purpose was to humiliate me,” he said. “The goal was to crush my dignity. And that’s exactly what he did.”

"He said the abuse was frequent — and worse than Nazi torture." . . .

Exposing the Left’s Selective Outrage 

. . . "This isn’t an isolated oversight. It’s a pattern in progressive activism, where causes that align with anti-Western narratives get amplified, while others languish in obscurity. The result? A movement that claims moral superiority but practices a form of boutique solidarity, prioritizing trendy issues over equally devastating ones.

"Defenders might blame media coverage, and there’s truth there. Gaza’s conflict generates endless viral footage, while Sudan’s war suffers from journalistic blackouts due to danger and inaccessibility. But this excuse falls flat when you consider that activists pride themselves on uncovering hidden injustices. If the left can mobilize against obscure corporate exploitations or niche environmental threats, why not amplify Sudan’s plight through their own networks? The BDS movement has built a global machine for Palestine; couldn’t similar energy spotlight Darfur?" . . .

President Trump must speak to the nation

  Allan J. Feifer

 "The most critical task ahead for our country is to institutionalize the vital progress made so far by passing laws, something that is increasingly foreign to the way sausage is made in Washington."

"Democrats just suffered their worst defeat in years. Dems are screaming for blood, and it’s doubtful that the once-powerful Chuck Schumer will survive as fellow Democrats seemed poised to oust him in a decidedly vicious manner. Today, we see Democrats cast into the wilderness without a leader or a clear vision. The question is: should we be celebrating?

"The answer is, not quite yet. Republicans have a nasty habit of snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory, most often because of our own hubris, passivity, or strategic miscalculations. How Republicans leverage this profound Democrat defeat will likely make or break our chances to retain control of the House, and even the Senate, next year. Nothing matters more now than keeping President Trump’s momentum going through the end of his presidency.

Trump parks his biggest hardware in Maduro's front yard

Monica Showalter 

"Meanwhile, the ship's presence is bound to catch the attention of the region's other bad actors  that have collaborated with Venezuela -- Colombia, Nicaragua, Honduras, Cuba -- on transit." Now they must wait for a Democrat President.

USS Gerald R. Ford? pic.twitter.com/CsAw5wcV3M

— Cristian Crespo F. 🇨🇺 (@cristiancrespoj) November 11, 2025

"At this point, Venezuela's dictator, Nicolas Maduro, must be sleeping with two eyes open.

According to the U.K. Guardian:

The US navy has announced that the USS Gerald R Ford, regarded as the world’s newest and largest aircraft carrier, has entered the area of responsibility of the US Southern Command, which covers Latin America and the Caribbean.

The deployment of the ship and the strike group it leads – which includes dozens of aircraft and destroyer ships – had been announced nearly three weeks ago, and its arrival marks an escalation in the military buildup between the US and Venezuela.

The regime of the Venezuelan president, Nicolás Maduro, meanwhile, announced what it called a “massive deployment” of land, sea, air, river and missile forces, as well as civilian militia, to counter the US naval presence off its coast.

 

The US carrier joins other warships, a nuclear-powered submarine and aircraft based in Puerto Rico, forming the largest US military presence in the region in decades – seen as the biggest since the invasion of Panama in 1989.

"Trump can park his biggest ships anywhere he likes around the world -- the Persian Gulf, the South China Sea, the Red Sea, the Mediterranean. He's decided the coast of Venezuela would be a good place, and this being his best hardware, it signals that Venezuela is his biggest priority right now. And he's spent hundreds of millions to do it.

"Which is rather as it should be, given that Venezuela traffics drugs into the U.S., specifically, cocaine, obtained from coca paste from Bolivia and Colombia and serves not only as a transit center, but as a major, state-sponsored processor, turning out huge quantities of very pure drugs on an industrial scale to poison the fools who would take them in the U.S. and Europe, and ravage the quality of life for anyone who comes in their path. That's big dollars for them, but for us, it's an act of war.  They may be involved in other illicit drugs, too.

"It's still big question if the U.S. intends to use that aircraft carrier or if it's just passing through. Based on news reports, odds are good that the U.S. intends to bomb cocaine processing facilities inside Venezuela, which should create enough chaos for ambitious players to chase Maduro from office. Whether they are better or worse or legitimate or not is anyone's guess, but there's little doubt that the cocaine money is about to be gone, so there may be room for the legitimate winners of 2024's election if the U.S. plans its operations well." . . .

Trump’s Unyielding Defense of Persecuted Christians in Nigeria Shows Moral Courage 

 "In an era where weak-kneed globalists tiptoe around radical Islam’s atrocities, President Donald J. Trump has delivered a thunderbolt of truth and resolve, vowing “fast and vicious” action against the Islamic terrorists ravaging Nigeria’s Christian communities. Fresh off designating Nigeria a “Country of Particular Concern” for its abysmal record on religious freedom, Trump isn’t mincing words: Cut off U.S. aid to this complicit regime and prepare to unleash American might if necessary to halt the slaughter. This isn’t reckless bluster; it’s the raw, unapologetic leadership the free world desperately needs, a stark rebuke to the Obama-Biden-Clinton doctrine of endless apologies and empty summits that left faith under fire.
