Unredacted photos of President Trump from the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s estate — which oddly blurred the faces of women he posed with — reveal he was standing with “adult women models,” according to exclusive images obtained by The Post. Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released a trove of images from Epstein’s estate Friday, including two shots of the president with women whose faces were blacked out — fueling speculation they could be the disgraced financier’s victims. But a pair of pictures obtained exclusively by The Post show Trump standing next to beautiful grown women.

Welcome to "The New Monroe Doctrine," where I give you an update on what's going on in the Western Hemisphere, south of our border, especially as it relates to the United States. There is a lot going on in our big, beautiful hemisphere this week. Latin America, in particular, is giving us lots of telenovela vibes. It's had everything from comedy to drama to adventure — Hollywood only wishes it could come up with stories like this. Because there are so many things to cover — and because I'm sick and wasn't even sure if I'd be able to get this out on Friday evening —

Journalist Scott Pelley has been a mainstay at CBS News, and someone whom people might know as a correspondent on 60 Minutes, though he was once anchor of the network's national evening news. On Friday, he picked up one of the 2025 Walter Cronkite Awards, which are given out "biennially by the USC [University of Southern California] Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism." This year's submissions theme, which is plenty progressive, is unlikely to shock readers: I think it's crucial to acknowledge the baseline tone of the event before we proceed. More on what Pelley had to say in a minute.

For even those of us who live the life of the mind it is necessary to have holidays. For me, holidays take the form not of travelling somewhere, but of thinking-about-something-else. So I went on holiday last week. Yes, indeed, I listened to about 10 hours of The Rest is Politics. You know, the famous podcast with Rory Stewart and Alastair Campbell. And I did so, friends, not in the spirit of calumny or condemnation. There are several things one can do with The Rest is Politics. Let me list them: Listen to it on a weekly or daily basis:

California Governor Gavin Newsom recently appeared on the podcast of New York Times columnist Ezra Klein. During the episode, in addition to saying that he ‘wants to see trans kids’ Newsom talked about providing healthcare for illegal aliens in his state. Ezra Klein followed up their discussion by tweeting about it, but in his tweet he says two things that completely contradict each other. He begins by saying that Trump lies about Democrats wanting healthcare for illegals. Then he says triumphantly that Gavin Newsom is actually doing it!

Conservatives spend a lot of time debating how to counter the power of the liberal media. Some say build new platforms. Others say to fight bias on the ones that already exist. But there is one simple step that almost everyone on the Right should agree on: stop letting Washington handicap conservative broadcasters. A single outdated FCC TV ownership cap, dating back to the 1940s, is doing just that, limiting TV station groups to reaching no more than 39 percent of U.S. television households. That number was invented in a different era, when most people had only a few channels and no internet or streaming.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard appears on Fox News to discuss the Trump administrations’ effort to track down, capture and remove a reported 18,000 known and documented terrorists who crossed the southern border and entered the U.S. during the Biden administration. There are several elements to this issue, and unfortunately the aspect that pertains to identifying them and locating them works to enhance the argument of those who support govt surveillance. In fact, both the use of Palantir track and trace technology in combination with the FISA-702 reauthorization come into play here.

To recap briefly, the conflict between county residents and library officials began in 2021, when, responding to public complaints, the Llano County library removed 17 controversial books from its shelves, including these children’s books: Freakboy; Freddy the Farting Snowman; and Being Jazz: My Life As a Transgender Teen. A group of patrons then sued, alleging the library had illegally banned the books. At first, the case was going the plaintiffs’ way. In 2023, the federal district court sided with the patrons, ruling the library violated their right to receive information under the Free Speech Clause and ordering the books to be put back on the shelves.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy threatened to withdraw $73 million from New York after an investigation found that 53% of those with commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs) were issued illegally. Duffy said: 53% of New York’s non-domiciled CDLs were issued unlawfully or illegally. Now what New York does is, if an applicant comes in and they have a work authorization for 30 days, 60 days, one year, New York automatically issues them an eight year commercial driver’s license. That’s contrary to the law. That’s one offense.
