Donald Trump is once again angry, but this time his ire is directed at a new audience: his own MAGA supporters. In a blistering post on Truth Social on Wednesday morning, Trump continued to push his backers to stop talking about Jeffrey Epstein, an issue that has driven what appears to be one of the most significant rifts between him and the political movement he built. “Let those weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats work,” he wrote. “Don’t even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success, because I don’t want their support anymore.” Trump later told reporters in the Oval Office that he had “lost faith in certain people”

This does not pass the smell test, but yep. Takes a mighty strong man to look the other way while children are being raped, and then to denigrate those who care. Nobody gets a blanket pass. Not even Trump. He's wrong.

After researching previous news articles, we already know who the sexual deviants are. They will get theirs in the eyes of God. Just a matter of time. We all can do some homework before getting drawn in the wrong way by the press. Yeah, it's tough.

It's starting to look like the victims have been paid off, leaving no one to charge. But it would be nice to see who paid who and how much. Any video or pictures of the people who went to Epstein Island would help shed light on that. Everything should be released.

We are not obsessed because we care about justice in America. It's not just about tariff money or jobs. America is not a business. Without justice and the rule of law we are nothing. Smarten up Mr. President.

If WHAT TRUMP NOW says is true, I'm afraid we require proof. We've seen to much evidence of wrong doing disappear, when it comes to punishment. I support Trump for what he's accomplished. That doesn't mean I'll swallow anything he feeds me. It also doesn't mean I'll stop supporting his other efforts because he's having a tantrum. He's human.

Where was all this angst and gnashing of teeth while Biden was president? This stuff happened years ago. Why wait til now to bring it up and I seriously doubt MAGA is having hysterics over it. I don't care one way or the other. Biden was a sexual predator and we saw it every time he was around a little girl. He pawed and caressed her, sniffed her hair, and the media said nothing. But the biggest factor with this story is it's from NBC and they wouldn't know the truth about anything if it bit them in the behind.

Nor should he. We have smelled corruption in the Biden DOJ and answers are expected. They did far more harm than to hide a few files and videos.

no weaklings here. just thankful blood sweat and tears patriots, who elected pdt to clean up the DS/BS. americans of good faith want to expose truths hidden over decades--as our duty, as good governance. when i think of JFK through epstein-- i think of JRR Tolkien. in the 50's he tackled the big question of whether the Great Wizards should use the palantirs, the 7 seeing stones--for divination or truth seeking . some of the stones were lost. others are used as tools of manipulation to induce obsession, madness, death-as in the case of Lord Denethor. several generations of us, WTP, proceed from love, for God, faith, country, family. [america first includes american children first]. we use prayer to unite, not divide. great evils have hurt and killed our children--seemingly w/ the aid of foreign and domestic 'leaders' who abuse our constitution and laws, as well as those we have chosen--such as pdt and his aides. we have responsibilities here to the future, and we know it. it can't all be on the president's plate--he does a yeoman's work every day and night.

Wow. #1. Yikes. 1. You know that "the list" is already out right? The list has been compiled by the press using flight logs and testimony. The only people holding out ALL the folks on that list are NY Judges. 2. It seems the list we were all hoping for....ie a list of "clients" Epstein and Maxwell blackmailed as spies of Israel or something......does not exist. Either this was actually destroyed by Comey/Wray FBI peeps, or actually it never happened. Trump would have absolutely have been in the dark on this. 3. Kash, Bondi and Bongino pumped this really hard. They thought there was a list...they said there was a list....they were so sure that they committed to this prior to the election, and put this forward as a major item. 4. Now that they are in, and have been sandbagged by the system and have pushed through that, they are finding.......nothing. 5. Either the Comey/Wray cabal destroyed the stuff or it was altered/diffused whatever, which means they "won". There is nothing to prosecute. 6. At this point, what is the point of feeding their victory? At this point, it just makes us look foolish for chasing something that can't be proved, and the left is using it as a wedge. Listen to Trump on this.

The obsession should be over the Russia Hoax. The deep state. Trumps phones were tapped by the Obama government. His first term was crippled by a conspiracy involving the CIA, the DOJ, the FBI.

Have any of you seen the young women who were Epstein's "victims clamoring for "justice? They are mature women now, wives, mothers, professional women. Do you know that they want all of this dredged up and salivated over here and in social media and the MSM? My guess is that he's dead and they'd like it dropped..

The U.S. Department of Justice has fired Maurene Comey, the daughter of former FBI director James Comey and a federal prosecutor who worked on cases against Sean “Diddy” Combs and Jeffrey Epstein. The reason for her firing remains unclear. Maurene Comey, an assistant U.S. attorney in the southern district of New York, most recently led the prosecution of Sean “Diddy” Combs. The rapper was convicted of a prostitution-related charge this month but acquitted of more serious charges. Maurene Comey had previously prosecuted Ghislaine Maxwell, the former associate of Epstein who helped the financier run his child sex trafficking ring.

A cockpit recording of dialogue between the two pilots of the Air India flight that crashed last month indicates the captain cut the flow of fuel to the plane's engines, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday. The newspaper cited people familiar with U.S. officials' early assessment of evidence uncovered in the investigation into the June 12 crash in Ahmedabad, India, that killed 260 people. The first officer, who was flying the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, asked the more experienced captain why he moved the fuel switches to the "cutoff" position seconds after lifting off the runway, the report said.

Late-night dramatics and surprise defections capped off the push to advance President Donald Trump’s multibillion-dollar clawback package through procedural hurdles, but now lawmakers are nearing the finish line. Lawmakers cruised through hours of debate on Trump’s $9 billion rescissions package Wednesday morning and are now entering into another vote-a-rama, where both sides of the aisle can offer an unlimited number of amendments to the package. At stake are clawbacks that would yank back congressionally approved funding for foreign aid programs and public broadcasting, which Senate Democrats, and some Republicans, have admonished.

Republican prospects for keeping the House of Representatives in 2026 have been hanging on by a thread, but President Donald Trump and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott are getting ready to execute an end run around that. In a move that left Democrats stunned and fuming, Abbott has called a special session so that the GOP-controlled legislature can redraw the Texas congressional lines. That came after the Trump-led DOJ found that several districts in the state were likely illegal gerrymanders. The projection is that Republicans could pick up as many as five seats, most of which would be in the Rio Grande area.

Carville argued Democrats should focus on the so-called Big, Beautiful Bill passed earlier this month by the GOP-led Congress. “James, do you look at Democratic voters as caffeinated and energized as the ambassador says?” CNN host Anderson Cooper said. “Well, you can’t help but do it,” Carville replied. “I mean, you look at these primary results and you look at general election results, I mean, it’s sporadic and it’s off-year.

A gerontocracy runs the Democratic Party, so it is natural that the next generation of Democrats is eager to push the old guard out and bring in some fresh blood. The problem they have is that the next generation of Democrats is absolutely insane. Last year, it looked like the old guard still had some fight in them. For much of the year, Joe Biden remained the Democratic Party's candidate for president, and AOC lost her bid to become the Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee.

WASHINGTON — Senate Republicans on Tuesday advanced President Donald Trump’s request to cancel some $9 billion in previously approved spending, overcoming concerns about what the rescissions could mean for impoverished people around the globe and for public radio and television stations in their home states. Vice President JD Vance broke the tie on the procedural vote, allowing the measure to advance, 51-50. A final vote in the Senate could occur as early as Wednesday. The bill would then return to the House for another vote before it would go to Trump’s desk for his signature before a Friday deadline.

We’ve noted before that today’s Democrats are operating with a mental deficit. A new poll further confirms they are a broken people. While it’s good for a cheap laugh, because they are often smug, condescending and hateful to those who disagree with them, their fragile psychological state poses a threat to the republic. A Rasmussen poll released Monday found that 60% of Democratic voters still believe “the Trump campaign colluded with the Russian government to win the 2016 election.” As disturbing as that is, 69% of those who self-identify as “liberals” believe Donald Trump conspired with Moscow to beat Hillary Clinton.
