The Sudden Epstein Fixation Is About One

Two impeachments didn’t do it. A phony Russian hoax didn’t do it. A dubious election loss didn’t do it. Relentlessly negative coverage didn’t do it. Civil and criminal judgments and massive fines didn’t do it. Two assassination attempts didn’t do it. Maybe Jeffrey Epstein’s ghost will finally bring Donald Trump down. That seems to be the hope, anyway. Epstein, who hobnobbed with the rich and famous, had been under investigation since 2005 for sex trafficking and pedophilia, and died in prison six years ago, has been responsible for conspiracy theories for years. As NPR wrote in 2022:

I agree. The left will grasp on to anything negative to try to take control and get false narratives back in their control. They are desperate. The Dems had many years, under Obama and Biden, to publish the Epstein files, they seem to be burying that fact.

The Epstein story has nothing to do with Trump, although the Democrats want another hoax to make it so. Epstein is about corruption of the government, individuals, and no, we don't want to see pornographic videos, and know the names of any victims. We would like some basic questions answered: Where did all the money come from? How is it that the IRS never audited Epstein, despite all these foreign transactions, and billions of dollars, while a small business owner making over $200K would have been?

Its not about getting Trump. Its about muddying the water with so much phoney, obviously manufactured evidence that the guilty are never punished. Mission accomplished.

I want the Epstein client list released. However I will not abandon Trump or de-maga if it is not. This is desperation on the part of the left grasping at anything and everything since their usual lies no longer work and their deep state control is being dismantled.

For the media, the story has become secondary. It's anything to tear down and destroy Trump. No doubt they are coordinating with the Democrats in government. Our government (and the media) have been actively trying to destroy Trump for over a decade. It started during the Obama administration. So many things go back to Obama. This is one of them. Our government is all about power, corruption, and politics. It doesn't really govern. It's a tyranny. The Democrats and the media are the main culprits, but where are the Republican 'leaders'. For starters, where are the Bushes? Where are the rest of the Republicans in government? They are either silent or quietly supporting the tyrants. Our government is a sick joke.

I think if Trump had anything at all to worry about, it would have disappeared by now. Trump could, however, make a few Democrats sweat by "finding" proof that certain Senators were seen at Epstein Parties. Sure, the Democrats will swear they were not there, but why believe them when some Smart AI Kid managed to put them there! You better be careful what you wish for!

Absolutely correct. TDS nuts pushing this are so focused on getting Orange Man Bad they haven't even considered that is there really were "written lists" of perverts and "thousands" of Epstein little child victims (neither of which I believe), there would be the names of their most precious progressives such as Bill Clinton and Bill Gates. I want to know more about the clearly documented plot to destroy Pres. Trump. This is the Look, a squirrel" move by the Dems to get the focus on another nothin-burger so the real stuff is ignored.

Is There No Cure For Democrats’ Derangement? 19 replies

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.
Mamdani Vs. The Billionaires 7 replies
Posted by RockyTCB 7/14/2025 8:44:03 AM Post Reply
There are 123 billionaires living in New York City. Zohran Mamdani, the socially and economically advantaged socialist boy who’s apparently never held a real job and is busy stoking class warfare as he campaigns to be the city’s next mayor, says they shouldn’t exist. Voters need to know that their city can get along just fine without Mamdani. But it would fall into a raging hellhole without billionaires. “I don’t think that we should have billionaires because, frankly, it is so much money in a moment of such inequality, and ultimately, what we need more of is equality across our city and across our state and across our country,”

A headline in Axios over the weekend carried this scary warning: “An increasing share of American adults are going hungry.” The “shocking data point” comes, the story says, “at a time when the stock market is hitting record highs and President Donald Trump just signed a bill slashing food benefits.” But take a look at the chart Axios published in that tear-jerking story, which is based on data from Morning Consult. Notice anything? Morning Consult started tracking “food insecurity” in 2021. And, sure enough, it was on the rise – the entire time Joe Biden was president.

What will the Democratic Party’s 2028 platform look like? The way things are going, no one should be surprised if it looks like a manifesto written by a couple of bitter, revolutionary 19th-century Germans. Marxism is no longer on the Democratic Party fringe. It is taking it over. We see this in the unpleasantness of Zohran Mamdani, the recent winner of the New York City mayoral primary. The callow Mamdani describes himself as a “Democratic Socialist.” Fact-checkers, who seem to never fact check the incessant claims by the media and Democratic politicians and operatives that President Donald Trump and other Republicans are fascists, say he’s no communist.

President Donald Trump’s bold move to take out Iran’s nuclear arms program and broker a ceasefire between Iran and Israel seems to have worked, at least so far. But while a large share of Americans believe the ceasefire won’t hold, the majority are taking a wait-and-see approach, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll indicates. The online national I&I/TIPP Poll of 1,421 adults was taken from June 25-27, mere days after the June 22 U.S. military attack to cripple Iran’s nuclear facilities. I&I/TIPP asked respondents the following question: “Do you believe the recent ceasefire between Israel and Iran will lead to lasting peace in the region?”

All the attention being thrown at New York’s mayoral primary race, won by socialist Zohran Mamdani, raises broader questions that deserve answers. Why do voters keep electing Democrats responsible for so much urban decline and decay? What will break the left’s stranglehold on our once great cities? Is the situation simply hopeless? Of the nation’s largest 20 cities, only two have Republican mayors – Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas. Republicans hold the mayorships of just 25 of the 100 largest cities. And that number is down from 30 in 2020. More mysterious is the paradox that, despite the fact that blame for empty stores, rising

A United Nation’s report issued last month calls for the criminalization of spreading “disinformation and misinformation” about global warming. Is it the desperate act of a dying crusade – or business as usual for the climate fanatics? While our hope is the former, it’s more likely the latter. According to Elisa Morgera, the U.N. special rapporteur on climate change, governments should “criminalize misinformation and misrepresentation (greenwashing) by the fossil fuel industry” as well as “criminalize media and advertising firms for amplifying disinformation and misinformation by fossil fuel companies.”

The headlines this week have blared about how pride in America has plunged under President Donald Trump. But the Gallup Poll driving all these stories paints a very different picture from the headlines. What the data actually show is that, not only did pride among Democrats plunge this year, it has been falling for them over the past 23 years – even when the sainted Barack Obama was in the White House. In Obama’s first year in office, 78% of Democrats said they were “extremely or very proud” to be an American. But by his last year in office, that share had dropped to 68%. Not surprisingly,

For most, July 1 is nothing more than just another rectangle on the calendar before a major holiday. In California, it has become a day of dread – the day gasoline prices jump because of another fuel tax hike in the state that already punishes its drivers with the highest prices in the nation. Lawmakers passed, and then Gov. Jerry Brown signed, Senate Bill 1 in 2017. Known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act, it was Sacramento’s promise that the state’s cracked, potholed, car-busting and outdated streets, highways and bridges would be fixed. All that had to be done was tax California motorists enough to generate $52 billion

It has been amusing to watch Democrats struggle to cope with the success of 33-year-old socialist Zohran Mamdani’s decisive win in the New York mayoral primaries. Why all the handwringing? Mamdani is now the mainstream of the once great Democratic Party. The only difference is that Mamdani isn’t afraid to say what other Democratic politicians try to hide. Think about what Mamdani has proposed or supported: • A yearlong freeze on rent • A $30 minimum wage • Free bus service • City-owned grocery stores • Defunding the police • Calling Israel’s war in Gaza a genocide. “Mainstream” Democrats support every one of these positions

President Donald Trump’s eventful presidency continues to leave most Democrats and independents unimpressed, but he gets top grades from Republicans, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows. Can he build on recent policy successes to improve his standing with non-GOP voters, or will Trump’s strong personality, offhand remarks, and bold leadership style alienate them? Each month, I&I/TIPP asks voters to gauge presidential favorability, leadership, and performance. In the just-finished national online poll of 1,421 adults taken from June 25-27, Trump’s grades from voters remain little changed.

California Gov.

In a statement, Newsom said: The women and men of the California National Guard deserve more than to continue serving as puppets in Trump and Stephen Miller’s performative political theater. There was never a need for the military to deploy against civilians in Los Angeles. The damage is done, however. We, again, call upon them to do the right thing and end the militarization once and for all.

Stephen Colbert wants you to believe he's some kind of martyred truth-teller, canceled by the evil corporate overlords for daring to speak truth to power about Donald Trump. He’s not. It's a compelling narrative, if you're the type who still thinks late-night comedy hosts are brave crusaders rather than overpaid establishment mouthpieces. But, rather than accept reality, he’s leaning into the preferred narrative that he’s being silenced and that it’s President Trump’s fault.

He vehemently defended his father while revealing a new detail about the debate.” Hunter Biden said, “I know exactly what happened at that debate.

Hunter Biden really walked smack into it when he “crashed out” during a YouTube interview with Andrew Callaghan that was released today. Now, when you look at the data, Hunter is of course completely wrong: statistically, whites commit the fewest crimes…by far. And, if you were to remove all the blacks and Hispanics included in those “white” crime statistics, that number no doubt falls drastically. However, in one sense, Hunter is right on the money: White men are significantly more likely to commit a crime…if you’re a white man like a Biden. If you’re a “white man” with the last name Biden,
