How to Get Out of the Epstein Mess: President
Trump Has 3 Options

Original Article

For most Republicans, Jeffrey Epstein is a peripheral issue — more of a distraction than MAGA’s casus belli. In most Republicans’ minds, issues like the budget, national defense, trade, affordability, immigration, and taxation are far more important than the loathsome actions of any one creep. But it doesn’t matter what most Republicans want, because elections are won on the margins. I often disagree with Steve Bannon on policy, but his instincts for political tactics are razor sharp. From CNN: Steve Bannon, a Trump first-term political adviser who now presents the “War Room” podcast,

Scott Pinsker is a Public Relations, Branding, and Crisis Communications Expert in Tampa Bay, Florida. Most of us, Scott, wish that media types would pipe down and give the administration breathing space to work this out. Don't you have something else to write about today? Your suggestions 1 and 3 are obvious dhoices. #2 is appalling. A fair amount of the country hasn't a clue about the Epstein case or tje current media-fueled kerfuffle. #2 would elevate it to another crisis. Be quiet and give them time.

I am a woman. I can multitask like you wouldn't believe. I can deal with Epstein and all the other issues out there at the same time. If there truly is no "there there" they handled it very poorly. They were flippant and a bit condescending. The tiff between Bongino and Bondi is interesting in that if there is no problem with the case why is this happening? I just think it smells. Prove me wrong. So much has been pushed under the rug for years. But this will not cause me to turn on Trump. Are you crazy?

Somebody had to have had some evidence to arrest Epstein. Either that evidence was so credible and strong that it convinced Epstein to kill himself or he was murdered. If that evidence was that strong it has to have had names involved. Names so powerful that they frighten evenv Donald Trump.

I'll take Option 1. Not Option 3 - it would give Raskie and fellow dims too much opportunity to force a hearings circus and put blame on the pubbies for Epstein's immorality and his employ of underage girls. Forget about Option 2 - this would be made to order for the dims and msm. All eyes need to be kept on biden's autopen scandal not on a bunch of sexual deviants even though most of them are probably dims, anyway.

Trump ordered the documents released 5 months ago, and not just on the Epstein issue. The situation is that Trump's orders to release documents never happens. We don't need a change in leadership. What we need is for the documents to be released for JFK, RFK, MLK, Waco, Ruby Ridge, Flight 800, J6, and the Russian Hoax conspiracy. The people are frustrated with the lack of transparency. The former AG Bill Barr type promises to release documents always 3 months from now needs to end. Trump orders it, and the bureaucracy does not respond.

#4 Hey I was wrong, just like I was wrong on the vaccines. Taking down perverts who are being blackmailed to vote a certain way is very important. I've been busy doing incredibly impactful things, but I should not have lectured you about an issue that is so important to you. I will stand by my campaign promise now.

FTA - "The charges contained in the Indictment are merely accusations. The defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty." So, who amongst the globalists' most powerful, I might I ask, wanted Epstein dead while he still sat alive in his jail cell. Ghislaine, you care to comment since you are still here.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security deported several illegal immigrants, including those convicted of serious crimes like murder and child rape, to a tiny land-locked nation in southern Africa. DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin announced the move in an X post late Tuesday. "A safe third country deportation flight to Eswatini in Southern Africa has landed— This flight took individuals so uniquely barbaric that their home countries refused to take them back," she wrote. "These depraved monsters have been terrorizing American communities, but thanks to [President Trump] (and) [DHS Secretary Kristi Noem], they are off of American soil."

The Republican Party doesn’t make it easy. With these razor-thin majorities, nothing will be easy. And one way to blow it is not over the Epstein files. Please, we’re not losing the midterms over that, but granting amnesty to illegal aliens could do it. What the hell even is this? With the Senate trying to pass President Trump’s rescissions package, which codifies $9 billion in cuts—a test of sorts for another run with deeper reductions—the House Republicans felt it was incumbent upon them to hash out an immigration compromise with some of the worst people.

After the U.S. strikes on the Iranian nuclear program, there was considerable concern about sleeper cells within the U.S. being activated; now it is clear that they’re not the only threat from Iran that American officials have to be worried about. Are agents of the Islamic Republic also taking advantage of the still-vulnerable northern border? A news item on Tuesday certainly suggested as much. Fox News reported that “a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) spokesman confirmed Tuesday that five Iranians were arrested while attempting to illegally cross the U.S. northern border with Canada.” CBP's Swanton Sector stated that “on July 1, Border Patrol Agents from the Champlain, New York Station,

In a unanimous vote Monday evening, the House of Representatives passed a bill that memorializes a twelve-year-old Texas girl who was allegedly murdered by two illegal aliens last year. The legislation renames the Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge to the "Jocelyn Nungaray National Wildlife Refuge". The refuge boasts 39,000 acres that serve as a home for migrating birds and other wildlife. The vote was 372-0, with 59 lawmakers not present for the vote. The bill will now be passed to President Trump for his official signature, which would make the bill permanent law. "Ms. Nungaray loved animals," said the bill. "And, given the close proximity of her hometown of Houston,

The June inflation report just dropped, and right on cue, the left's spin machine is in full swing. Consumer prices ticked up slightly, and now they’re scrambling to spin it as proof that Donald Trump’s America First trade agenda is tanking the economy. But don’t fall for the headlines; they’re not telling you the whole story. Yes, the Consumer Price Index rose 0.3% last month, pushing the annual inflation rate to 2.7%. That’s a bit above the Fed’s 2% target and the highest since February, but it was exactly what Wall Street expected. Actually, it was better. For starters, the Fed expected an increase in inflation,

Somebody turned the Kremlin bluster machine up to 11 following President Donald Trump's 50-day ultimatum to agree to a ceasefire with Ukraine — or else. My PJ Media colleague Matt Margolis covered the "or else" earlier today, but the executive summary is that unless Moscow agrees to a ceasefire within 50 days, Trump will impose a 100% tariff on exports from Russia and countries that buy Russian oil — targeting major buyers like China, India, Brazil, Turkey, and Europe, too. There's also a heavy sanctions bill working its way through the Senate that Trump says he's warming to. The new tariffs go hand-in-glove with Trump's promise on Sunday

Can CNN get worse? That's an evergreen question with an evergreen answer. On Monday, libertarian commentator Brad Polumbo was part of the panel on Abby Phillip's primetime show, and things quickly devolved into racism after Ana Navarro couldn't form an actual rebuttal. The co-host of "The View" claimed that Donald Trump's presidency has been a "reign of terror." At that point, Polumbo rightly, and fairly politely, pointed out that such a statement is hyperbolic. Did Navarro then provide evidence to back up her rhetoric? Of course, not. She dismissed Polumbo as a "white man" whose opinions don't matter because of his race.

I’m convinced that the “average” Democratic voter has no clue about the true ideology of Leftism and the Democratic Party. Historically, they are (excuse me) as dumb as rocks, and they probably don’t even know what the word “ideology” means. Now, the Obamas, Pelosis, Schumer, etc., know EXACTLY what they are doing. They are godless, globalist, Marxist-Leninists who are deliberately trying to destroy the traditional values and beliefs of the United States of America. But the average Democratic Party voter isn’t nearly that educated. So, I want to help them out a little here.

Vice President JD Vance cast two tie-breaking votes in the Senate Tuesday to move forward a $9.4B rescissions package — which would rip federal funding from PBS and NPR — in the upper chamber. The Senate deadlocked, 50-50, on two procedural votes to start debate on the multibillion-dollar spending clawback package before Vance’s votes advanced the measure requested by the White House. Three Republicans – Sens. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Susan Collins (R-Maine) – joined all Democrats in opposition to the bill.

At this point, you would be hard-pressed to find any reasonably informed American who honestly thinks President Joe Biden wasn’t in a state of serious cognitive decline at the end of his term in office. Yet the New York Times has at least two reporters who are willing to pretend they believe this. On Sunday, the Times ran a piece by notorious Russia collusion hoaxer Charlie Savage and Tyler Pager about the thousands of clemency decisions recorded with autopen in the final days of the Biden administration. The piece is meant, on the surface, to be a defense of Biden and his administration’s use of the autopen.
