Many Americans think President Donald Trump is being dismissive of the Jeffrey Epstein controversy. That he’s simply being cavalier. I don't read it that way. I think he’s (Snip) He has racked up amazing, unprecedented policy accomplishments and Epstein is taking all the wind out of it--not just to his detriment, but ultimately to ours. (Snip) But now people who have doggedly supported him even through tougher times are turning on him and piling on with the opportunistic Democrats who heretofore haven't given two shakes about any of this.

Comments:

As Mr. Limbaugh points out, the full story is not known yet or all that’s involved so until having more information “in the fullness of time” he is going to trust the people he trusts, people who have repeatedly earned that trust beyond his “wildest expectations.” He is not defending protection or insulation of pedophiles or corruption, but correctly cites President Trump’s “credentials as an enemy of trafficking and pedophilia” as evidenced by his policies on the border alone. Indeed, “We presumably want the same things—except those who would exploit this issue, or any others for their self-aggrandizement.”

Sometimes, Trump isn't so smooth. I would never change my vote for him, though. Harris, the former sex worker? Get away from me.

The term pedophile is being tossed around willynilly. That refers to children no older than 13. There was none of that reported here. Some were emotionally posting about babies being raped. No. They were all someone's baby but that was not what was going on here. I would never destroy their anonymity and the lives they have created, but some sound rabid about disclosure and that will mean full disclosure. Their loss of privacy. Another delayed assault on victims. Sad.

Agree with posters #1,2, and 3. I read an article where Alan Dershowitz said that a lot of the information that is being held back is not being held back because of President Trump and his staff, it is being held back by Court Orders from various trials that have been held. It seems to me that the 'Rats and their sister organizations, the Lamestreams, are pushing the Epstein story to: -Push the AutoPen scandal -and the very real probability that many laws and Biden pardons are invalid, having never been signed by the President, and perhaps even without his being aware- off the 'front page'. -Push the Congressional hearings where various Biden aides are 'pleading the 5th' to avoid self-incrimination, off the 'front page'. -Push all of President Trump's accomplishments- new trade deals with different countries being announced every few days- off the 'front page'. -Push the $9,000,000,000 spending cut bill that just passed the Senate- off the front page. In short, Sex sells, a Sex Scandal sells more as it appeals to the very lowest morals and lowest intelligence of the whole population, the Lamestreams are trying to cash in, and in the process they are hoping to use it to damage President Trump and his staff. One way to Kill this story 'GraveYard Dead' is to let it be known amongst the Lamestreams that a full disclosure would reveal the involvement of some of their favorite 'Rat politicians. I have no idea what the real story is, but it seems that every time a story starts to come out that 'Rats did something underhanded, the story just.... stops. It is never mentioned again, the Lamestreams never apologize, they just 'Move On' to the next story that favors their favorite 'Rat politicians or damages the conservatives.

Total nonsense. Epstein has nothing to do with Trump, or his achievements which are accepted as the greatest ever delivered by a President.

The Trumpster has done Magnificent things, God Bless Him and one or two not so magnificent things... So far he's 0 for 3 in picking quality people for AG! This "Epstein Thing" is just another disaster foisted on America by the Justice Dept! What really gets my goat is the fact that there were THOUSANDS of crimes committted by the Biden admin and NOT One, Zero, Zilch, Nada, person has been held accountable. Bondi has proven once and for all time that no Democrat will ever be held accountable no matter how heinous the crime! God Damn Her evil soul and all she represents!

There is no hell, sinful souls simply disappear”. These heretical ravings are directly opposed to the Catholic Faith, which teaches us that there is a particular Judgment for everyone, which Bergoglio could not escape. His soul has therefore not disappeared, nor has it dissolved: he will have to account for the crimes he has committed,...

California Gov. Gavin Newsom claimed that he did not want to bulldoze the remains of burned-down Palisades houses and replace them with low-income housing. But that is apparently exactly what he’s doing now, with the help of the California legislature—and Donald Trump’s special missions envoy is furious. Richard Grenell accused Newsom of lying about his fire recovery goals. Newsom had scoffed, “The claim that the Governor wants to bulldoze fire victims’ neighborhoods and replace them with ‘affordable housing’ is absurd.” But he just announced over $100 million for building low-income housing in the area of the Palisades and other burned areas, as a bill moves through the California

After more than three decades on air, CBS announced on Thursday that its famed "Late Show" franchise is coming to a close. "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" will officially come to an end in May 2026, according to the network, which said the decision to end the show was a financial one. "This is purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night," George Cheeks, the president of CBS and co-chief executive of Paramount, CBS's parent company, wrote in a press release. "It is not related in any way to the show's performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount."

Zohran Mamdani is running for mayor of New York City at exactly the right time in American history. The confluence of a shattered Democratic Party, an electorate wild for change, and a bitterly divided opposition will make the 33-year-old socialist the next mayor of New York City. As long as he doesn't self-destruct, that is. We're going to see if Mamdani can keep his foot out of his mouth in the next three and a half months and avoid making his support of an "intifada" against Jews any larger of a campaign issue than it already is. Otherwise, there doesn't appear to be anything that can stop his election victory.
