The controversial life and shocking death of financial fixer and child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein won a second of round of heavy media coverage after claims were made that Donald Trump knew Epstein. But Americans of all political stripes mostly agree on one thing: Epstein did not commit suicide, but was murdered, according to the latest I&I/TIPP Poll. The online national poll, taken by 1,362 adults, asked four questions total about Epstein’s controversial life. The poll has a margin of error of +/-2.7 percentage points. The first, and possibly most controversial, question asked: “Did Jeffrey Epstein die by suicide or was he murdered?”

2 days before he "died" he moved 577 MILLION dollars into a new bank account. I think he is still ALIVE. https://youtube.com/shorts/gjGwGEkEfvc?si=sR4-_TMhIMkxdTCY

Epstein did not kill himself. Why would he when he had all those powerful connections on his pocket? He was convinced he would be set free. He was, only not the way he thought.

"Americans Want Answers" ?? Only the small minded and busy-body 'Karens' care. Epstein is dead and so are many of his 'clients'. This does not rise to the level of importance as does improving our infrastructure, deporting illegals and muslims, crushing the political left, reversing inflation, etc.

I agree with poster #3. Epstein was too connected to think he wouldn't skate with a slap on the wrist, as he had done previously in Florida. Poster #4 make a good argument that investigating Epstein's death doesn't cure our country's problems, but many of the people running the country were frequent guests of Epstein (Clinton 28 times). Do we want them in important positions if they are 'blackmail-able'?

I apologize for a second post, but #4, when was the LAST TIME you believed a single syllable that your government launched at you? It was 64 freakin YEARS ago in Eisenhower's farewell address where he told us uselessly to beware the military industrial complex. I understood him perfectly and in no time we were at war in Vietnam I am sick up to my uvula of the heaps, piles, and mountains of lies my Constitutional government and its functionaries have forced down my throat. COVID, 9/11(I survived it), Vietnam, Afghan surrender, UFO's, countless other wars, AI, one world order, and on and on, without end. STOP LYING TO US! START HERE!!

Jeffrey Epstein was not arrested until July, 2019, but he and Ghislaine Maxwell were never charged with any crimes occurring after 2005, including the entire period he lived in New York City after he returned from Florida. If there were any child sex crimes by Epstein or his associates during these years that were never investigated or prosecuted by the Department of Justice they are not ancient history.

I never believed he died. When they were wheeling him out of the jail, his face was left uncovered. When have we ever seen that before? He has too much money and too much dirt on too many people. He's off on an island somewhere, having had plastic surgery, and living the high life, in my opinion.

I'm with number 2 on this issue. A photo that was supposedly Epstein's body on a gurney being removed from his cell had a very aquiline nose, not at all like Epstein's. Fake a death is just as easy (or more so) than committing murder when the cameras are "broken" and the guards are "sleeping" and the truth is very uncomfortable. Who among the swamp folks would really want him around and talking? And he assuredly had some documentation squirreled away to make certain if he "died" he'd take lots of them with him.

Face it, Americans love conspiracy theories. It's been 62 years and people are still obsessed with the Grassy Knoll. However, Kennedy was of importance to the Boomers, and as they start dying out, so will interest in what happened in Dallas. Epstein 's death is currently the top contender for America's next favorite conspiracy, but it remains to be seen whether or not it has staying power or if it will fade away once Trump and Hillary are no longer in the headlines and the two sides no longer have a need for it as a cudgel against their mortal enemy.

The deep state, especially the Hildebeast but others as well, has proven over and over again that they will commit murder to protect themselves. Why would they not do it this time? To not care is to accept the normalcy and legitimacy of these political murders, and I never will. I want to see justice. Not some low level flunky either. I want to see national level swine swinging from gallows. I want to see the remaining eat their revolvers rather than stand trial. If we are to pretend to be a moral and good people, we cannot tolerate this from our officials. Yet it seems like we not only tolerate it, we encourage it by refusing to care about it.

“U.S. deficit grows to $291 billion in July despite tariff revenue surge.” – CNBC That and other headlines greeted the release of the latest monthly Treasury Department report last week, which showed that the July deficit was $47 billion higher than the year before – even though revenues came in $8 billion higher. Turns out that, despite all the protests, the screaming, and purple-hair-pulling and nose-ring-wiping about President Donald Trump’s “devastating cuts,” spending in July was $55.5 billion higher than it was a year ago. What’s more, there were jumps for outlays for agencies such as Veterans Affairs (up $3 billion

For those who can’t understand why Donald Trump was twice elected president, including the Republicans and conservatives who continue to impugn him, we have the answer: Trump is the response to three (yes, three) terms of Barack Obama. This country has never had a president like Trump. He doesn’t hold back, he can sometimes be crude, he sees no benefit in playing nice with people who want to destroy him (who also happen to overlap with Americans who want to take down their own country a notch or two because, in their perverted thinking, America was never great to begin

Earlier this month, Customs and Border Protection recorded fewer than 7,832 illegal border crossings in July. That’s a staggering number when you consider that the 25-year average for that month is 76,000. Even more staggering is that this should never have happened. At least, not if you believed President Joe “Autopen” Biden. For four years straight, Biden and his minions told the American public either that the border was secure, or that the problem was impossible to fix due to Republican intransigence, or some combination of the two. Here, for the record, is a sampling:

Consumers see businesses as partners in transactions they have voluntarily chosen to take part in. They might not always be happy with the exchanges they make, but they generally understand that they are making a tradeoff that benefits both parties.  Policymakers, however, far too often see businesses as endless sources of money to fund their agendas.  On occasion, businesses will reach a breaking point. So they defend their interests, as some in Los Angeles are doing. A coalition has launched a June 2026 ballot measure to repeal the gross receipts tax, which is levied on business revenues, not profits (and is often passed on to consumers in the form of higher prices).

We’ve come to expect that no matter what President Donald Trump says or does these days, the mainstream press will rush out to say he’s wrong. So, we weren’t the least bit surprised when, after Trump said crime in the nation’s capital is out of control and called in the National Guard, news outlets immediately dismissed his claims. But who is doing the lying here? Crime in D.C. “is getting worse, not getting better,” Trump said. Nonsense came the chorus of press reports, with headlines such as: “Fact check: Violent crime in DC has fallen in 2024 and 2025 after a 2023 spike” said CNN.

Amid new revelations, spurious Russia collusion charges against President Trump have become both a major scandal and a grand jury investigation. Do voters want top spies in former President Obama’s administration investigated? Yes, the I&I/TIPP Poll shows. The national online poll was conducted from July 30-Aug. 1, with 1,362 adults taking part. The poll’s margin of error is +/-2.7 percentage points. I&I/TIPP asked a total of five questions about what has been called “the dirtiest political trick in history,” and worse.

Consider what has transpired in the past few weeks and ask yourself which political party is acting like petulant children. Earlier this year, the Justice Department found that four Texas districts drawn in 2021 are “unconstitutionally racially biased” because they violate the equal protection clause and “must be rectified immediately.” Hans von Spakovsky, an election law expert at the Heritage Foundation, notes that not only did those Texas districts violate the Constitution, but the boundaries they drew in 2021 were based on faulty 2020 Census data, which had missed half a million Texans, and didn’t reflect the influx of 2 million people over the past five years.

We’ve been told for decades that working for the government is a calling, a service to society not unlike being called into the ministry or feeling an obligation to teach the next generation of Americans. If so, why do public employees need unions? Maybe in our lifetimes we’ll see public-sector unions reduced to the rubble they should have been crushed into decades ago. Government workers aren’t angels and their union affiliations aren’t sacred. The country would be better off with far fewer of the former and none of the latter. To this end, President Donald Trump issued an executive order in March that barred agencies that have national security missions

The border wall separating the United States and Mexico is being painted black to make it too hot for migrants to climb. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem revealed the project was a specific request from Donald Trump as the president celebrated 'ZERO releases' of illegal migrants into the country. 'In the hot temperatures down here, when something is painted black it gets even warmer,' Noem said during a press conference in front of the wall on Tuesday. She noted the structure is already hard to climb and near impossible to dig under, but said Trump's latest measure will help to secure the American border even further.

If you need a laugh, try to imagine Joe Biden or any recent president holding court in the way Donald Trump is doing it. To double the laugh, try to imagine any of the current presidential wannabes sitting in the big chair in the Oval Office. It’s an impossible exercise because of how dramatically Trump is redefining what it means to be president of the United States. His talents are vast and uniquely suited to the role he has created. For the most recent and dramatic example, take Monday’s historic meeting of European leaders about Russia’s unrelenting invasion of Ukraine.

According to an Aug. 19 post on Truth Social, the president believes that museums are the “last remaining segment of ‘WOKE,’” and he wants to address the issue the same way his administration has treated colleges and universities. Trump pointed specifically to a Washington, D.C., icon as a demonstration of the issue, saying, “The Smithsonian is OUT OF CONTROL, where everything discussed is how horrible our Country is, how bad Slavery was, and how unaccomplished the downtrodden have been—Nothing about Success, nothing about Brightness, nothing about the Future.”

A widely condemned Israeli settlement plan that would cut across land which the Palestinians seek for a state received final approval on Wednesday, according to a statement from Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich. The approval of the E1 project, which would bisect the occupied West Bank and cut it off from East Jerusalem, was announced last week by Smotrich and received final go-ahead from a defence ministry planning commission on Wednesday, he said. Restarting the project could further isolate Israel, which has watched some Western allies announce they may recognise a Palestinian state at the United Nations General Assembly in September.
