Trump sent Jeffrey Epstein ‘bawdy’
50th birthday letter: WSJ

Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought, 7/17/2025 9:22:14 PM

A “bawdy” letter to Jeffrey Epstein bearing President Donald Trump’s signature was included in an album of letters Epstein received for his 50th birthday in 2003, The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday evening, citing documents reviewed by the newspaper. The letter, which the Journal said Trump sent at the request of Epstein’s friend Ghislaine Maxwell, would have been written 16 years before the Justice Department charged the now-dead Epstein with child sex trafficking in 2019, during Trump’s first term in office. The missive, which Trump denied having written, came to light as the president angrily tries to tamp down

This is Take 26 of "We finally got him!" These people are really insane. Even if this was true, who the heck cares? The borders are closed. The illegal aliens are being deported. District judges are finally being shut down. No more trans dudes in girls' dressing rooms or in their sports. Iran got their nuke program blown up. Etc., etc. And...he's got almost 4 more years to give us more of this awesome winning. Shut up already.

The article did not bother to mention that in 2004 Trump banned Epstein from Mar A Lago after the teenaged daughter of a club member complained about Epstein's creepy behavior.

They are trying desperately to attack PT’s character, because they think the Epstein thing is the wedge needed to divide MAGA supporters and make them think he is purposely hiding something, and that their falsehoods will widen the divide. They have pretty much blown any credibility they ever had with years of lies, so only the ones who want to believe it will believe it. The evidence Trump and his people have on the Dems is going to prove their schemes and lies to “get Trump”, therefore also the part played by mainstream news outlets to cover for them. More eyes are going to be opened to the truth. They have worked very hard to weave their web of sneaky lies. All Trump has to do to expose them is to reveal the truth.

Anything can be faked, and in many ways the survival of much of the USA is at risk from a coup of powerful enemies of everything good about this country. Our enemies have a lot o lying, corrupt public officials as all in allies, but ALL of it is kept alive and promoted by a media happy to do anything they are told. NOTHING is beneath them. President Trump must destroy these creeps. For his sake and ours.

President Donald Trump says that if the violent Immigration and Customs Enforcement riots happening across the country are discovered to have central organizers or professional backing he would designate them foreign or domestic terror organizations, similar to what he did with Mexican cartels in February. "I would do that, and in a minute," Trump told Just the News, No Noise television show Wednesday. I would do that." Officially designating an organization as a terrorist group in the U.S. criminalizes providing material support, freezes assets, and restricts travel for members and supporters under laws such as the PATRIOT Act.

Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy has terminated the remaining $4 billion of unspent federal funds for California’s beleaguered high-speed rail project. The move is well justified. In 2008, California voters approved a ballot measure that would allow the state to issue up to $9.95 billion in bonds to support an ambitious plan to build a high-speed rail system. But the state has not lived up to the promises made to its own voters who approved the measure and to the federal government.

Congress is officially sending a package detailing $9 billion in spending cuts to President Donald Trump’s desk, minutes after midnight on Friday. The bill, called a "rescissions package," was approved by the House of Representatives in a late-night 216 to 213 vote after intense debate between Republicans and Democrats. Just two Republicans, Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Pa., and Mike Turner, R-Ohio, voted in opposition. Friday was also the deadline for passing the legislation, otherwise the White House would be forced to re-obligate those funds as planned. It’s a victory for House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., but a mostly symbolic one

Live by the federal subsidy ... well, you know the rest. And if not, Robert Kennedy Jr just served up a big reminder. Republicans in Congress got thwarted in their attempt to defund providers delivering pediatric sex-change therapies. Instead, the HHS Secretary will act within his authority to deny Medicare and Medicaid funds to hospitals and clinics that provide these services, forcing them into a choice between funding for actual care and pandering to the extreme Left at the expense of children. National Review got the scoop: The Department of Health and Human Services will soon begin the rule-making process to prohibit the federal government from directly funding sex-trait modifications for minors

US President Donald Trump says he's ordered the US Justice Department to produce "all pertinent" grand jury testimony related to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. "Based on the ridiculous amount of publicity given to Jeffrey Epstein, I have asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to produce any and all pertinent Grand Jury testimony, subject to Court approval," Trump said in a post on Truth Social. Attorney General Pam Bondi posted minutes later: "We are ready to move the court tomorrow to unseal the grand jury transcripts." The development comes after days of sustained pressure from Trump's Make America Great Again (Maga) supporters demanding further disclosures in the Epstein case.

CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten admitted this week he was surprised to find that Trump’s standing with Republican voters has strengthened despite widespread complaints on social media about the Epstein files. “You might think his approval ratings were going down with Republicans—if anything, they’re going up,” Enten said, referencing recent polling from CNN and Quinnipiac. According to CNN’s numbers, Republican approval of Trump rose from 86% in the previous poll to 88% this week. Quinnipiac’s poll showed a similar jump, from 87% to 90%. “He is at the apex
