It appears that this extends beyond those who participated in criminal activity to include hundreds if not thousands who remain silent out of fear of profound embarrassment.
Greetings James, sorry I wasn't more clear. I believe that sex trafficking and associated liability are one component of this story that compels silence. A broader component that ALSO compels even broader silence is fear of profound embarrassment from one's mere association with J.E. and email correspondence being revealed.
It could be that it depends on your definition of a child. Is a 16 year old girl a child? She's young but even in the US, she can get married at that age and a significant number of them have sex without marriage. I'm not condoning anything done by Epstein and his "pals" but I can see where it may not be sex-trafficking children.
except that the age of consent in the Virgin Islands is 18 so technically any males having sex with someone younger than that is guilty of some form of rape
I read "Filthy Rich" which is about Epstein after his first arrest, and the book says that the girls mostly recruited each other from a local high school, and that they loved the money for "massages" and were offered more money to do more things. Some agreed to do more things, some did not and were not called back.
Epstein used blackmail and threats on the girls because Pedos always use threats to keep their young victims silent. How anyone can possibly excuse what this monster did to young girls is beyond me! Two of the victims spoke out during a press conference today (they were sisters). They called the FBI and nothing happened. BTW, Bill Clinton was president at that time.
OK, but she has to report it to law enforcement, right? If a report is done contemporaneously, no argument, there is a case there (in the Virgin island). But what if there is no contemporaneous report then some public statement is made decades later?
Now, let's do this in all 50 states and the remaining territories. I'm curious what the age of consent is everywhere else under US jurisdiction.
The age of consent is 16 in about half of the United States, it is 17 in about eight states and all the rest are at 18. some states such as Florida have a “Romeo and Juliet“ exception which allows a male to have sex with someone under the age consent as long as he’s not too much older.
Thank you for that information. Isn't it 19 in Nebraska? I remember that in relation to age for informed consent to participate in research but am not sure if that also applies to consent in general.
When consent is not even an option, what do you call that? And when women are being threatened with their lives, what do you expect them to do? Age of consent is completely irrelevant here! What about the victims?!? Are you really that callous? Or do you think this behavior is just fine as long as the women is 18?
There may be a list, similar in form to a shopping list, one name after another for the purpose of listing targets in a single document. But it's likely there isn't. The names, list or not, would be interspersed within the files. The fixation on a "list" seems misguided to me. If no formal "list" exists, that doesn't mean they don't have all the names.
The evidence available clearly shows Epstein was a CIA asset. There is no doubt. And then, also in the public record, we see Bill Clinton introducing Epstein to Israeli intelligence. This raises the valid suspicion that he was also a Mossad asset. Epstein was also sponsored, in financial and social circles by the big banks, especially JP Morgan. The media circus that keeps the dog-and-pony show of indiscretion, pedophiles, lax morals going is clearly a diversion. The true crushing "reveal" is not about this guy or that guy. Rather it is the question of whether or not special interests, whether they be globalist elites or foreign nations, controlled our (supposedly) free Constitutional Republic through extortion. Have our lives been controlled by criminal operatives hiding behind the veil of secrecy of national security? That discussion is not going to be front and center with a CIA controlled media.
I am going to make a note here to remind me about John's hypothesis regarding the "sudden" shift of Trump's feelings -- i.e. that all of a sudden he wants the Epstein materials released, etc. All of us yokels, hicks, and rubes may be about to get played by the gubment's Epstein rigmarole. I get the gut feeling that what the public will be shown now is a limp nothing-burger featuring wilted lettuce, a soggy bun, and some stringy meat-like goo on the inside.
This endorsement of House vote is total PR ploy to avoid looking weak & biggest joke is that DoJ falls under the Executive branch and Trump can order release instantly no votes from Congress is required.. instead DoJ is moving to hide much of the content as part of ongoing investigation. This is what a government run by criminal Mafia looks like.. both sides.
President Trump does it to the dyed in the wool Dems every time and it draws out the RINO’s both in the Republican Party and the fake MAGA podster’s that don’t care about the country but their little shop of horrors to sell clicks and likes.
The amazing thing is when you know you are right and innocent, all one must do is play along with the foolish liars, give them rope, and they will hang themselves.
A tactic as old as humanity, but the virtue signaling “clever progressive’s” (suburban women watching the hen house show called the “View” on in every doctors office and airport, who’s husbands make $500k plus) are those that elected the likes of Clinton, Obama, and Biden. They just don’t get it because their minds are invested in cheating and hurting those they hate because others see things differently and they just can’t imagine others not being evil minded like themselves.
The Left installed Biden in America’s face intentionally (81 million votes my ass) to say to America, “see you honest fools, we can do whatever we want to do”.
It’s not hypocrisy, it’s hierarchy, they believe they have the power and you don’t, what are you gonna do about it. And lo and behold the American people on November 5, 2024 said: “this is what we are gonna do about it”, and the hens are now mad hatters.
For all those still propagandized by ten years of 24/7 legacy media claiming President Trump is the Orange Ogre I say: Take your TDS meds regularly, the doctor says they work better that way.
While the Dems, and RINO’s had this stuff since President Trump’s first administration in 2017, when his DOJ went after Epstein and he was evicted from Mar-o-Lago, and again for four years of the actor playing Biden had the files with their guys in charge, and now the fake MAGA podster’s took the Left’s bait and made this a thing again claiming “what about the children”, the pedophile’s?
President Trumps administration team from DOJ, FBI, HS and every other internal national security agency removed tens of thousands of Pedophile’s, drug dealers, murders, child trafficker rings, cartel members, you name it Trump went to the heart of the problem and dug it out……….. thousand’s of children saved, perhaps tens of thousands and drug death’s from enemy’s within. Is this your house or not?
Oh! But you did not hear that on the “news”.
Can we be done with this stupid sexy news thingie now. The Dems as usual are just going to expose their own. They asked for it! Trump plays them every time.
Actually the Dems have had the files for years but would NEVER release them because there are Democrats in those files. So now the Dems are making a huge deal of Trump releasing the files because they know he can't.
I'm sorry Aly, I meant Trump can't release the Epstein files because Epstein was pimping girls to and from Mar-a-Lago.
And do you know WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CORRUPT US STATE ATTORNEY THAT LET EPSTEIN OFF...???
Alexander Acosta is the corrupt U.S. State Attorney who let Jeffrey Epstein off with the LIGHTEST SENTENCE EVER in the state of Florida for sex crimes, and made the SEALED secret deal with Epstein so that Epstein's crimes, and NAMES, would never be made public!
And what happened to Acosta as a result???
In 2017 Alexander Acosta was appointed the 27th Secretary of Labor for the United States of America!
-"Release the Epstein Files" billboard: In September 2025, Indivisible DeSoto organized a billboard in Southaven, Mississippi, urging Congress to release the Epstein files. Group chair (democrat) Kelly Jacobs said they took the action to hold officials accountable for failing to release information that taxpayers paid for.
It seems to me that handler Susie Wiles, at the behest of Miriam Adelson and BiBi Netanyahu, has been keeping a lid on Epstein revelations that will create a huge backlash against their interests.
Yes. this line of thinking is closer to the truth. Susie Swamp and Billionaire Las Vegas mob lady are among those who have managed to get the entire nation to forget/ignore a genocide and a land grab--the one that they are paying for with their taxes. That's quite a card trick for a couple of grandmothers.
Is it because I’m old that I see it so clearly? What would be the equivalent term for a honeypot operation, but one under the guise of the benign grandmother….
Max Blumethal recently called JD Vance a “BiBi sitter” which I loved.
He set a high bar with that. I’d love it if someone could come with something as cleverly incisive for the scheming grannies … Gangsta Grams on the loose is very good. Not as good as BiBi sitter but close.
(I am a bit reluctant to be analyzing a joke when there really are lives at stake but I do because humor can move the political needle when logic fails.)
So true. We are deep in the land of dark humor now; we seem to have few weapons left aside from ridicule. Some may call this (wrongly) the human condition when it is the demonic condition.
The head pollster at Rasmussen, Mark Mitchell, was on the Alex Jones Show to discuss the disaster, which both Mitchell and Jones lamented. Mitchell remarked that Trump lost five approval points the day he asked, "You care about Epstein?" I'd speculate he lost a similar fraction by attacking long time allies MTG and Massie. This is a guy (one I voted for all three times) who demands loyalty, returns none. Bet his appearance with Pfizer's Albert Bourla won't turn things around. Maybe a joint appearance with Netanyahu and Zelenskyy to "neutralize" Tucker Carlson, another friend who stuck by Trump when most Republicans fell for the Jan 6 'Fedsurrection" hoax.
;-) Trump is a "player", isn't he? Trump makes deals. Trump's mind is enigmatic, and he provides lots of clues in various directions for people to project onto and into, so they think they "know".
It is fairly clear that he likes to be the boss, but knows how to deal with being pressured and coerced, and how to pressure and coerce others.
I think he got a lot of bargaining-leverage when his assassination did not go as planned on July 13, 2024, a public humiliation for those who attempted it, and they had to deal with him. He remains vulnerable, of course. He has to deal with them, too.
So, I have certain feelings about what Trump would prefer, and I think he is rational, and knows how to jump at opportunity, and I never voted for him, or anybody else who won, since I started voting in 1976, but I remain interested in how history keeps developing.
We are part of it, and not just passive, but it can be hard to see what we can do. We can start vegetable gardening and meditating. It's a process.
Do take a look at these 2 posts, Photojournalism and (just the photos in) Strategic Obstruction from July and August 2024, pulling out information on the patsies of the Trump assassination attempt, Crooks, and the dead-guy-on-the-roof, who does not resemble Crooks:
We can model Trump as the "gray-champion" of the current "Fourth Truning" in the recurring generational pattern of recent history, where there is a crisis every 4th generation, about every 80 years, and we are well into a 4th turning, with the poly-crises developing. His super-power is that he is so hard to anticipate, so I can only look at what is developing, and project that his actions, constrained as they are, will be rational.
What he is really trying to do is loosen and remove his constraints ahead of big-things-breaking, so that he will have more freedom of action. His overt martial arts style is "Drunken Monkey", but it actually takes a skilled and sophisticated practitioner to perform this.
Trump uses Paradox effectively. Paradox is extremely difficult to use effectively, inducing people to do the opposite of what they think you want, while really acting somewhat against their own interests.
The Iran/Israel war thing in June was apparently like that to some degree.
The overwhelming tides of history now in play are that real-economy has met it's maximum limit of growth, and is bound to decline, and that financial-economy is completely tapped-out in trying to stimulate it by borrowing from a "future" which does not exist, a future of ongoing economic growth.
Huge wars are how our owners, our apex-predator class usually deal with such resets. In the US it has been Revolutionary War, Civil War and Great-Depression/WW-2 so far. Russia had her wars, internal and external, as did China, not quite on our same timeline, but the whole global economy has to deal with this now.
Russia has the most resources per capita, so is in the most favorable position for autarky, sefl-sufficiency. The US is #2. China is not close, so China wants Africa, Australia and Canada for starters.
Trump has to deal with the financial and covert remnants of the British Empire, notably in London's "square mile", European banking, New York, and Israel.
He seeks to not be drawn into triggering a kinetic WW-3, I think. He does act that way repeatedly.
He does not want his power in military and banking/finance/reserve-currency lessened. He wants to use it for pressure, not expend it, and it is not really "his", but under control of other interests with their own views, and coercion is the language spoken between them.
He looks tireder sometimes now, too. He counts on the support of the tech-billionaire technocrats, whose interests are not human-interests, but a very cold and calculating virtual-slavery with individual, algorithmic off-buttons for all subjects.
They have a certain thrust now, but they need more power-sooner to pull off their vision, and they might accellerate the collapse of the physical economy in their rush to this huge increase in electric power and data centers to finalize their global control.
I actually see Musk as the most-human of this bunch, but that is a fairly low bar for "humanity".
What will Trump do? Take away a few constraints first. It is too early to guess. That's why he wants to "make peace", I think. He can't really do deals freely with Russia until the British Imperial interests and Israel have much less leverage on him. They need war to sustain their positions of power now and in the near-future, more war...
Trump's in PANIC mode. He knows he's a lame duck now, and has lost the mid terms short of a miracle with the economy.
He's losing the MAHA crowd since they're not posting any points on the board. Disbanding and recreating the ACIP panel only to have them turn around and reauthorize covid shots and ADDing self amplifying ModRNA shots to the approval list didn't help.
Gaslighting the American populace that prices are down and inflation is under control isn't helping. We all know our wages are still far below current inflation, let alone what already happened in the last 5 years.
Doubling down on the Biden inflation policies with more stimulus checks and permanent debt slavery with 50 year mortgages and 15 year loans.
A completely useless AG and DOJ aren't helping him any.
Backing down and allowing the continued coverup of evidence of the assassination attempts is helping him any.
Chasing out Elon and DOGE and enacting nothing there sure hasn't helped.
Promising the Epstein files then attacking his base for asking for them already permanently turned off many voters.
Backpeddling on the Epstein files after a year of misdirection, failed promises, and attacks isn't going to get him any points. Especially after attacking conservative Rs for asking for them
This is just a Hail Mary as he sees his approvals fall.
And I don't even think that he understands he's not on the ballot ever again, so there's no more cult of personality to help down-ballot republicans not lose.
All his fault for 10 years of endorsing Rinos and entrenched republicans instead of primary candidates that were true MAGA or conservative.
Are you too behaving like a Democrat John!! Your “hypothesis” is full of insinuations, stealthily directed toward the only leader in the entire world that’s doing anything to make life better for the country’s people. You give “importance” to the word Epstein when in truthful reality, it only appeals to a certain psychological level of rather ill people!!
Keep your focus on some great and positive happenings in the US! Be deeply thankful you don’t call Canada home!
Hmmm, could it be that Pam Bondi and her crew have held off on releasing them until they finished scrubbing them and redacting any potentially deleterious mention of Trump in them? Just sayin'.....
Everything damning to the deep state was probably already scrubbed or moved elsewhere. Telling the truth from the beginning would have been better. Now, particularly with AI and how we've seen it used to fabricate evidence, there's no way to believe or trust anything put out.
Epstein was likely a honeypot used by Mossad, the CIA, and other organizations.
Totally agree. The notion that there is some sacred place where all the pristine evidence has been diligently safeguarded over the years is laughable. We'll never know the truth if 'truth' has been safeguarded by a secretive entity full of ambitious hubristic people. As we've learned (hopefully) if the facts don't suit them, they'll just makeup their own 'facts'.
That's interesting John and has some Truth. In reality it is a Massive Israeli/Mossad Blackmail and money laundering ring which Captured America - including Trump and ruined young girls in the process and likely much more as you may recall Epstein wanted a little of his DNA in everybody - likely tying into Gates-Plandemic-Bioweapon Jab and more. Epstein's New Mexico Ranch was never raided. Whitney Webb's books Exposes it well with thousands of footnotes. Strange that Leslie Wexner of Victoria's Secrets (He gave Epstein his NYC Mansion - the largest private house in Manhattan for $1) was never indicted.
Add AIPAC Bribery of most politicians and you have an Occupied Government!
Likely Trump and his sycophants destroyed much of the evidence but others such as Mossad, Putin, CIA have it all.
Obama sat on these files during his reign and so did Biden to a degree.
Young underage females & males have been used by power holders to blackmail their opponents, for a very very long time. This is probably a drop in the bucket compared to others in the past. I am concerned that Michelle Obama is trying to start another racist chaos and this is being funded by Arab money. Malcom X..was the first to start destroying black family units and the Arab community probably funded that too. It is all about getting a foot hold here. I also wondered about the East wing being done up in gold, as that is a favorite color for the Arabian power communities. I do feel Trump has made progress in stepping up and doing things that none of the clowns wanted to do. They found a bunch of corruption in the SNAP program too. The USAID non profit corruption is disgusting. The loss of healthy strong Ukraine males in the fabricated war by that Zelensky clown is heartbreaking to say the least.
Epstein Files are distraction. Let’s look at the financial records. Where did the money come from and where did it go? It was said Epstein was a hedge fund manager yet he registered no trades with SEC as required for those businesses. It’s interesting to speculate on why the powers decided to have him arrested and jailed. If they wanted to just get rid of him there are quieter ways to kill someone like poisonous food. So the method of the kill is important. What’s that message?
Your narration is interesting and makes sense but even if people are exposed for doing something illegal, nothing will happen to them. For me, I'm like the President, I don't care.
I must be missing something.
How could sex-traffiking children (for decades) ever be dumbed down to just embarrassing?
The DoJ, IC, national law enforcement, at every level, are BROKEN.
It appears that this extends beyond those who participated in criminal activity to include hundreds if not thousands who remain silent out of fear of profound embarrassment.
I know John Leake thinks with brilliant clarity.
I just had to comment on the shame of correlating "sex trafficking children" and embarrasment.
It's almost like the Book of Revelation was a warning.
Greetings James, sorry I wasn't more clear. I believe that sex trafficking and associated liability are one component of this story that compels silence. A broader component that ALSO compels even broader silence is fear of profound embarrassment from one's mere association with J.E. and email correspondence being revealed.

except that the age of consent in the Virgin Islands is 18 so technically any males having sex with someone younger than that is guilty of some form of rape
What gives you the idea that these girls consented to the situations they were brought into? The victims themselves tell a very different story.
I read "Filthy Rich" which is about Epstein after his first arrest, and the book says that the girls mostly recruited each other from a local high school, and that they loved the money for "massages" and were offered more money to do more things. Some agreed to do more things, some did not and were not called back.
But also, they seem to have been threatened to keep them quiet about it all.
And once in, they were effectively prostitutes, and ashamed of that. I think this psychology was also used on them.
Epstein used blackmail and threats on the girls because Pedos always use threats to keep their young victims silent. How anyone can possibly excuse what this monster did to young girls is beyond me! Two of the victims spoke out during a press conference today (they were sisters). They called the FBI and nothing happened. BTW, Bill Clinton was president at that time.

What about the victims?!? Are you really that callous? Or do you think this behavior is just fine as long as the women is 18?
Stop trying to minimize child exploitation. People like you are what's wrong with our world.
First, it's my right to ask questions. Second, it's your right to challenge anything I wrote. Third, it's my right not to give a f*ck what you think.
Calm down, Biff
Stop being rude to people you don't know.
Lol I don't care about people who don't care about child exploitation.
Wow! Really?! I hope you don't have children because you are extremely naive!
You have completely mischaracterized and misinterpreted my original response to a previous comment. As such, your comments aren't worth responding to.
So why are you responding? To show how very condescending you can be?
Wait - they claimed there was no list (we all believed that, right!!). Lies, lies & more lies
Exactly Bill! I just wrote that this whole topic is a waste of everyone’s time and government resources: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/why-are-grown-adults-wasting-time

Indeed.
Trump in true Trump fashion has the Dems begging for the Epstein files.
Trump is brilliant.

Where are they???
We hear about all these rescued children but where are they? Where are they being held?
Where are the joyous reunions with their parents?
Where are the perpetrators? Where are their trials and their convictions?
I'm beginning to think the stories of thousands of rescued children are just that, stories....
Actually the Dems have had the files for years but would NEVER release them because there are Democrats in those files. So now the Dems are making a huge deal of Trump releasing the files because they know he can't.
Correct.
The release requires a Senate vote of 60 yays.
I've heard the DOJ can refuse to release the files anyway.
I'm sorry Aly, I meant Trump can't release the Epstein files because Epstein was pimping girls to and from Mar-a-Lago.

Hmmm .
Yep, it kind of reminds me of “please don’t throw me in that briar patch.”
The documents that the left thinks will bring down Trump will actually help drain the swamp.
Let's hope so.
Or I can’t let you help me paint this fence, well maybe if you let me finish off your apple core…
I don’t know if he is brave, moral or noble. But I do know he has a sense of humor.
This is my advice to every member of Congress and everyone else literally caught with their pants down.
Collectively hold your noses. Collectively take the plunge, confess and move on. No more foreign agendas. We are America first!!
DJT has the wit and acumen to turn this Epstein nastiness into an episode of black humor and put it into the past.
Lots will be forgiven when he gets back on the MAGA train.
I can’t believe the SIGNS by the roads -where I live!

Take a look at Trump's approval in the highly regarded Rasmussen Poll to see who's been rope-a-doped:
https://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/trump_administration_second_term/prez_track_nov17
The head pollster at Rasmussen, Mark Mitchell, was on the Alex Jones Show to discuss the disaster, which both Mitchell and Jones lamented.

This is a guy (one I voted for all three times) who demands loyalty, returns none. Bet his appearance with Pfizer's Albert Bourla won't turn things around. Maybe a joint appearance with Netanyahu and Zelenskyy to "neutralize" Tucker Carlson, another friend who stuck by Trump when most Republicans fell for the Jan 6 'Fedsurrection" hoax.
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em...
I suspect Trump had made some deals to keep this under wraps for various interested parties, including MOSSAD and Ehud Barak.
Never saw even the slightest example of antisemitism from Trump.
Truly zero there.
;-) Trump is a "player", isn't he? Trump makes deals. Trump's mind is enigmatic, and he provides lots of clues in various directions for people to project onto and into, so they think they "know".
It is fairly clear that he likes to be the boss, but knows how to deal with being pressured and coerced, and how to pressure and coerce others.
I think he got a lot of bargaining-leverage when his assassination did not go as planned on July 13, 2024, a public humiliation for those who attempted it, and they had to deal with him. He remains vulnerable, of course. He has to deal with them, too.
So, I have certain feelings about what Trump would prefer, and I think he is rational, and knows how to jump at opportunity, and I never voted for him, or anybody else who won, since I started voting in 1976, but I remain interested in how history keeps developing.
We are part of it, and not just passive, but it can be hard to see what we can do. We can start vegetable gardening and meditating. It's a process.

Do take a look at these 2 posts, Photojournalism and (just the photos in) Strategic Obstruction from July and August 2024, pulling out information on the patsies of the Trump assassination attempt, Crooks, and the dead-guy-on-the-roof, who does not resemble Crooks:

We can model Trump as the "gray-champion" of the current "Fourth Truning" in the recurring generational pattern of recent history, where there is a crisis every 4th generation, about every 80 years, and we are well into a 4th turning, with the poly-crises developing. His super-power is that he is so hard to anticipate, so I can only look at what is developing, and project that his actions, constrained as they are, will be rational.
What he is really trying to do is loosen and remove his constraints ahead of big-things-breaking, so that he will have more freedom of action. His overt martial arts style is "Drunken Monkey", but it actually takes a skilled and sophisticated practitioner to perform this.
Trump uses Paradox effectively. Paradox is extremely difficult to use effectively, inducing people to do the opposite of what they think you want, while really acting somewhat against their own interests.
The Iran/Israel war thing in June was apparently like that to some degree.
The overwhelming tides of history now in play are that real-economy has met it's maximum limit of growth, and is bound to decline, and that financial-economy is completely tapped-out in trying to stimulate it by borrowing from a "future" which does not exist, a future of ongoing economic growth.
Huge wars are how our owners, our apex-predator class usually deal with such resets. In the US it has been Revolutionary War, Civil War and Great-Depression/WW-2 so far. Russia had her wars, internal and external, as did China, not quite on our same timeline, but the whole global economy has to deal with this now.
Russia has the most resources per capita, so is in the most favorable position for autarky, sefl-sufficiency. The US is #2. China is not close, so China wants Africa, Australia and Canada for starters.
Trump has to deal with the financial and covert remnants of the British Empire, notably in London's "square mile", European banking, New York, and Israel.
He seeks to not be drawn into triggering a kinetic WW-3, I think. He does act that way repeatedly.
He does not want his power in military and banking/finance/reserve-currency lessened. He wants to use it for pressure, not expend it, and it is not really "his", but under control of other interests with their own views, and coercion is the language spoken between them.
He looks tireder sometimes now, too. He counts on the support of the tech-billionaire technocrats, whose interests are not human-interests, but a very cold and calculating virtual-slavery with individual, algorithmic off-buttons for all subjects.
They have a certain thrust now, but they need more power-sooner to pull off their vision, and they might accellerate the collapse of the physical economy in their rush to this huge increase in electric power and data centers to finalize their global control.
I actually see Musk as the most-human of this bunch, but that is a fairly low bar for "humanity".
What will Trump do? Take away a few constraints first. It is too early to guess. That's why he wants to "make peace", I think. He can't really do deals freely with Russia until the British Imperial interests and Israel have much less leverage on him. They need war to sustain their positions of power now and in the near-future, more war...
Trump's in PANIC mode. He knows he's a lame duck now, and has lost the mid terms short of a miracle with the economy.
He's losing the MAHA crowd since they're not posting any points on the board. Disbanding and recreating the ACIP panel only to have them turn around and reauthorize covid shots and ADDing self amplifying ModRNA shots to the approval list didn't help.
Gaslighting the American populace that prices are down and inflation is under control isn't helping. We all know our wages are still far below current inflation, let alone what already happened in the last 5 years.
Doubling down on the Biden inflation policies with more stimulus checks and permanent debt slavery with 50 year mortgages and 15 year loans.
A completely useless AG and DOJ aren't helping him any.
Backing down and allowing the continued coverup of evidence of the assassination attempts is helping him any.
Chasing out Elon and DOGE and enacting nothing there sure hasn't helped.
Promising the Epstein files then attacking his base for asking for them already permanently turned off many voters.
Backpeddling on the Epstein files after a year of misdirection, failed promises, and attacks isn't going to get him any points. Especially after attacking conservative Rs for asking for them
This is just a Hail Mary as he sees his approvals fall.
And I don't even think that he understands he's not on the ballot ever again, so there's no more cult of personality to help down-ballot republicans not lose.
All his fault for 10 years of endorsing Rinos and entrenched republicans instead of primary candidates that were true MAGA or conservative.
Are you too behaving like a Democrat John!! Your “hypothesis” is full of insinuations, stealthily directed toward the only leader in the entire world that’s doing anything to make life better for the country’s people. You give “importance” to the word Epstein when in truthful reality, it only appeals to a certain psychological level of rather ill people!!
Keep your focus on some great and positive happenings in the US! Be deeply thankful you don’t call Canada home!
Good observation, Marilyn but it appears they get their briefings from CNN and Kimmel. No hope there.
🥵🥵
Hmmm, could it be that Pam Bondi and her crew have held off on releasing them until they finished scrubbing them and redacting any potentially deleterious mention of Trump in them? Just sayin'.....
If there was anything bad for DJT, wouldn't that weasel Merrick Garland have already released it?
100% yes.
Everything damning to the deep state was probably already scrubbed or moved elsewhere. Telling the truth from the beginning would have been better. Now, particularly with AI and how we've seen it used to fabricate evidence, there's no way to believe or trust anything put out.
Epstein was likely a honeypot used by Mossad, the CIA, and other organizations.
Totally agree. The notion that there is some sacred place where all the pristine evidence has been diligently safeguarded over the years is laughable. We'll never know the truth if 'truth' has been safeguarded by a secretive entity full of ambitious hubristic people. As we've learned (hopefully) if the facts don't suit them, they'll just makeup their own 'facts'.
That's interesting John and has some Truth. In reality it is a Massive Israeli/Mossad Blackmail and money laundering ring which Captured America - including Trump and ruined young girls in the process and likely much more as you may recall Epstein wanted a little of his DNA in everybody - likely tying into Gates-Plandemic-Bioweapon Jab and more. Epstein's New Mexico Ranch was never raided. Whitney Webb's books Exposes it well with thousands of footnotes. Strange that Leslie Wexner of Victoria's Secrets (He gave Epstein his NYC Mansion - the largest private house in Manhattan for $1) was never indicted.
Add AIPAC Bribery of most politicians and you have an Occupied Government!
Likely Trump and his sycophants destroyed much of the evidence but others such as Mossad, Putin, CIA have it all.
The Truth is the Truth!
Wait, I thought he said they didn’t exist?
Maybe Mossad said they would leave his name out this time?
Obama sat on these files during his reign and so did Biden to a degree.
Young underage females & males have been used by power holders to blackmail their opponents, for a very very long time. This is probably a drop in the bucket compared to others in the past. I am concerned that Michelle Obama is trying to start another racist chaos and this is being funded by Arab money. Malcom X..was the first to start destroying black family units and the Arab community probably funded that too. It is all about getting a foot hold here. I also wondered about the East wing being done up in gold, as that is a favorite color for the Arabian power communities. I do feel Trump has made progress in stepping up and doing things that none of the clowns wanted to do. They found a bunch of corruption in the SNAP program too. The USAID non profit corruption is disgusting. The loss of healthy strong Ukraine males in the fabricated war by that Zelensky clown is heartbreaking to say the least.
Epstein Files are distraction. Let’s look at the financial records. Where did the money come from and where did it go? It was said Epstein was a hedge fund manager yet he registered no trades with SEC as required for those businesses. It’s interesting to speculate on why the powers decided to have him arrested and jailed. If they wanted to just get rid of him there are quieter ways to kill someone like poisonous food. So the method of the kill is important. What’s that message?
Your narration is interesting and makes sense but even if people are exposed for doing something illegal, nothing will happen to them. For me, I'm like the President, I don't care.
