The Week In Pictures: Epstein Boomerang Edition
Posted By: Hazymac, 11/22/2025 6:53:16 AM
For the most part it was a pretty quiet week. Many longstanding stories continued to make headlines: the UN adopted President Trump’s peace plan for Gaza; the administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration continued, as did the Democrats’ lawlessness; and there were various shutdown post mortems. These topics did not gain the attention of meme-makers. Rather, this was the week of Jeffrey Epstein. Or, rather, the week when the Democrats got their wish, thousands of pages of Epstein documents were released, and the upshot was–as we already knew–that Epstein, a Democrat, had Democratic friends and hated Donald Trump. So the whole thing, from the Democrats’ standpoint, was an exploding cigar:

One of the last presidential acts of Joe Biden (or whoever was running the autopen) was to commute the death sentences of 37 federal prisoners awaiting execution. That was a dastardly little piece of grandstanding, when you consider the nature of these people's crimes. When it comes to presidential pardons and commutations, though, what's done is done, and these acts can't be undone.
But we should note that in the case of these commutations, the goblins who were awaiting a date with a needle have now only been reprieved as far a life sentence; they will (justly) never breathe free air again, and the Trump administration's Justice
When you're running for public office, one thing you don't want to do is to say anything related to hating the community/city/state you seek to represent.
And yet that is exactly the situation Aftyn Behn, a woke, pro-Mamdani Democrat in the Tennessee state legislature, finds herself in with less than two weeks to go before the special election for the state's 7th Congressional District.
Behn, who is the Democrat nominee in the race, is under the microscope this week after comments she made during a 2020 podcast about hating Nashville resurfaced, as we reported.
"I hate the city, I hate the bachelorettes, I hate the pedal taverns, I hate country music,
HOMOSASSA, Fla. — An 84-year-old Citrus County beekeeper has been reunited with most of his stolen beehives after his story went viral, generating more than 2 million views and prompting volunteers to help return the insects that serve as his primary source of income.
Richard Marquette discovered someone had removed 20 active beehives from his property in July, taking away his main source of income. Joseph Denick admitted to arranging for the hives to be moved, blaming the incident on confusion over property lines and promising to return them.
But he didn't follow through.
"I can't figure out why they won't bring them back or at least pay me for the bees

The man accused of setting a woman on fire on a Chicago transit train this week has been charged with federal terrorism, according to a criminal complaint.
Lawrence Reed, 50, was charged with one count of committing a terrorist attack or other violence against a mass transportation system Wednesday in the Northern District of Illinois.
The incident unfolded just before 9:30 p.m. Monday on a CTA blue line train.
Security video captured the moment a man whom authorities identified as Reed walked through the train car holding a bottle and approached the victim, a 26-year-old woman with her back toward him. He poured liquid over her head and tried to ignite it,
ABC News might soon find itself staring down another expensive defamation lawsuit from President Trump, and honestly, it wouldn't come as a shock. On a recent episode of The View, Joy Behar confidently claimed that it was "obvious" Trump was a pedophile connected with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, implicating him in Epstein’s crimes. This wild accusation came without a shred of evidence tying Trump to Epstein’s criminal activities. In fact, Trump is arguably one of the few prominent figures who did the right thing and severed ties with Epstein years ago, unlike many Democrats who have since been ensnared in the fallout.

Among Donald Trump’s contributions to our public life is the revelation that a politician can, after all, pursue a defamation case successfully. Of course, it can happen only in extreme circumstances, but Trump Derangement Syndrome frequently gives rise to extreme circumstances. And Trump’s haters can’t seem to learn from experience.
Thus we have the latest outrage from The View, a television program on which a group of harridans shriek DNC talking points:
ABC News may soon be facing down another costly defamation suit from President Trump. On Thursday’s edition of The View, moderator Joy Behar proclaimed that it was “obvious” that Trump was a pedophile in league with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein,
Again, why isn’t this a bigger story? I promised to cover the trial details as they come out.
The jury at the trial of Linda Sun, a former top aide to New York Govs. Kathy Hochul and Andrew Cuomo saw pictures and details of her lavish lifestyle, which she supposedly funded with money from China.
Prosecutors have accused Sun of working as a Chinese agent in exchange for lots of money.
Sun’s husband, Chris Hu, also faces charges.
Sun only made $145,000.
Despite that salary, Sun and Hu lived in a $3.6 million mansion in Long Island. That’s where the FBI investigated for five hours. FBI Special Agent Edward Tam told the jury
STARKE, Fla. — A man convicted of raping and fatally beating his former manager at a Florida convenience store in 1988 is scheduled to be executed Thursday evening.
Richard Barry Randolph, 63, is set to receive a lethal injection starting at 6 p.m. at Florida State Prison near Starke. Randolph was convicted of murder, armed robbery, sexual battery and grand theft and sentenced to death in 1989.
It would be Florida’s 17th death sentence carried out in 2025, further extending the state's record for total executions in a single year.
According to court records, Randolph attempted to break into the safe at the Handy-Way convenience store in Palatka, where he had previously

Epstein Claim 8 replies
The Democrats thought pushing for the release of Epstein information was going to hurt President Donald Trump.
But not only is it not going as they planned, it's blowing back on them, as it's revealing a lot of Epstein connections to Democrats. Epstein was a big donor to Democrats, among them, Democrat Delegate Stacey Plaskett (VI), a non-voting member of the House. Epstein was also texting her in February 2019 during a Congressional hearing to help her against Trump.
Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett (TX-30) came to Plaskett's defense on Wednesday on the House floor, arguing that Republicans had received donations from "somebody" by the name of Jeffrey Epstein.
At this point, Democrats are just embarrassing themselves badly over Jeffrey Epstein.
Their efforts backfired spectacularly as the Epstein estate information revealed more Democrat connections to Epstein. It left them scrambling, trying to justify/defend Democrat Delegate Stacey Plaskett's texting with Jeffrey Epstein during a Congressional hearing. Plaskett is the non-voting delegate from the Virgin Islands, where Epstein had his infamous island. She received donations from Epstein up to 2018, long after the nature of Epstein was widely known. She claimed she gave the donations she got in 2016 and 2018 to women's groups.
Then, Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett (TX-30) defended her, claiming Republicans had gotten donations as well from "somebody"
Endgame: Chicago

There's nothing hotter than a little blue-on-blue action, and things are getting steamy at Chicago's City Hall as Mayor Brandon Johnson and his allies go to war with other Democrats over the scraps of the Windy City's finances.
We're in the endgame now.
Jim Talamonti reported for Center Square on Tuesday that Johnson's allies "launched a seven-figure campaign" to support the mayor's budget because opponents argue that "the mayor’s tax plans will send the city into an economic death spiral and could bring about costly litigation."
As of today, Chicago's political position is probably best described as paralysis.
The city council's finance commission rejected Johnson's tax package on Monday,

Questions for the First Time Since Rebrand Disaster 35 replies
Few stories grabbed national attention quite like the Cracker Barrel rebrand did this year. Even amid endless high-profile developments in Washington, the Cracker Barrel rebrand stood out as offensive to Americans everywhere. Like Bud Light's partnership with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney, Cracker Barrel's new look felt like an attack on an American institution from an out-of-touch C-suite that bought into the leftist idea of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. The backlash was so severe that the company publicly slammed the brakes on their modern makeover and promised Americans they weren't changing a thing.
A prominent Muslim advocacy organization is taking Texas to court, arguing that Gov. Greg Abbott's decision to brand it a "foreign terrorist organization" tramples both the U.S. Constitution and state law. The Council on American-Islamic Relations’ (CAIR) Dallas-Fort Worth and Austin chapters filed a federal lawsuit Thursday seeking to overturn Abbott’s proclamation issued earlier in the week.
"This attempt to punish the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization simply because Governor Abbott disagrees with its views is not only contrary to the United States Constitution, but finds no support in any Texas law," the group said in its lawsuit.
Founded in 1994, CAIR operates 25 chapters nationwide,
Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., announced on Thursday he is launching a campaign for California governor in 2026. The congressman and longtime foe of President Donald Trump made the announcement during an appearance on the late-night show, "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"
"He’s going to hate tonight’s episode," Swalwell wrote on X in response to a social media post from the president criticizing Kimmel for being "biased" and having "no talent." The Democrat lawmaker vowed to be a "protector and fighter" if elected governor.
President Trump hailed Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s surprising resignation announcement Friday as “great news” for America.
“I think it’s great news for the country,” Trump told ABC News during a brief phone call.
“It’s great,” he added. The president indicated that Greene (R-Ga.) did not share her plans with him ahead of her social media post announcing her intention to leave office on Jan. 5, 2026, and said he had no plans to speak with her. “Nah, it doesn’t matter, you know? But I think it’s great,” Trump said. “I think she should be happy.”
House Democratic leaders, including Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, contacted the U.S. Capitol Police and the House sergeant-at-arms to request protection for four representatives who appeared in a video message encouraging military troops to defy orders from their superiors that they deem illegal.
Reps. Chris Deluzio (PA-17), Chrissy Houlahan (PA-6), Maggie Goodlander (NH-2), and Jason Crow (CO-6), along with Sens. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) and Mark Kelly (D-AZ), tried agitating some troops and intelligence officials into potentially illegal actions of their own by defying orders they personally interpret as unlawful. It was a startling effort. The message was clear. They laid it out quite clearly, referencing "this administration" and how it

WASHINGTON — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, a once-loyal supporter of President Donald Trump who has become a critic, said Friday she is resigning from Congress in January. Greene, in a more than 10-minute video posted online, explained her decision and said she’s “always been despised in Washington, D.C., and just never fit in.” Greene’s resignation followed a public fallout with Trump in recent months, as the congresswoman criticized him for his stance on files related to Jeffrey Epstein, along with foreign policy and health care. Trump branded her a “traitor” and “wacky” and said he would endorse a
For months, Donald Trump warned New Yorkers against electing Zohran Mamdani as mayor, referring to him as a “communist lunatic.” Mamdani, meanwhile, called Trump a “despot.”
All of that was put aside in an extraordinary Oval Office get-together Friday, the first face-to-face meeting between the two men.
Trump, who sought to kneecap Mamdani during the campaign, was exceedingly complimentary of the self-described democratic socialist, while Mamdani repeatedly talked up his hope that he and the president could work together to lower costs for New Yorkers.
“I met with a man who’s a very rational person,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office following the private
Former President Barack Obama is embracing his role as mentor-in-chief, huddling with nearly three dozen freshman House Democrats at the Capitol Hill home of Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.) at a Wednesday night event hosted by former Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
The event — moderated by Rep. Yassamin Ansari (D-Ariz.) — saw Obama buck up Democrats and offer insights on surviving Republican majorities. “I get feeling discouraged sometimes,” Obama told the room over soda, water, crackers and crudite, according to excerpts provided by his office to POLITICO. “I get feeling worn out, tired, and embattled. But in our second term, Denis McDonough, my chief of staff, used to pass out stickers

Zohran Mamdani tells 1M social media followers to boycott Starbucks amid ongoing worker strike. "Starbucks workers across the country are on an Unfair Labor Practices strike, fighting for a fair contract," the 34-year-old wrote on Thursday. "While workers are on strike, I won’t be buying any Starbucks, and I’m asking you to join us. Together, we can send a powerful message: No contract, no coffee."
The U.S. Postal Service announced that it will increase prices for most shipping services beginning January 18, 2026, pending regulatory approval, as the self-funded agency works to narrow persistent financial losses.
The changes, already approved by the USPS Board of Governors, would raise Priority Mail rates by about 6.6%, Priority Mail Express by 5.1%, USPS Ground Advantage by 7.8%, and Parcel Select by 6%. Prices for mailing services, including the cost of a First-Class stamp, will remain unchanged in January.
The move follows the release of fiscal 2025 results showing a $9 billion net loss, slightly better than the $9.5 billion the prior year. Operating revenue rose 1.2% to $80.5 billion,
A liberal columnist complained Thursday about hearing the American national anthem in Washington, D.C., the nation’s capital.
Jamie Stiehm, who has contributed to several corporate media outlets, including The New York Times and The Washington Post, wrote for The Capital Times on Thursday that though the “Star-Spangled Banner” might be appropriate for “ballparks and stadiums,” it is “dissonant” to play before a classical music concert in today’s political climate.
Stiehm said that classical music transcends international boundaries, but the national anthem pulls the arts back into the orbit of President Donald Trump’s influence. After attending a symphony at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts
