Well Ten Years after the MSNBC crowed stated on live TV that it would be bad news for the Clintons if Donald Trump brought up Jeffrey Epstein during election 2016 (the video for those who have forgotten)
the Epstein files (at least those not being blocked by three Democrat Judges) will now all be out there.
And while we’ve seen Larry Summers “retire from public life” & Congresswomen Stacy Plasket somehow dodge a censure vote with every democrat in the house voting that exchanging texts with Jeffrey Epstein while questioning a witness during a hearing is no big deal. We’re not going to be seeing anything that implicates Donald Trump for the simple reason that if there WAS anything like that in these files the Biden administration and the Democrats would have put it out there during the four years that no Democrat had any interest in them.
But we HAVE seen a few signs of what is to come: like this
The panicked Democrat talking point has been released …
– "Trump and Pam Bondi have altered the Epstein files."
😂 They know this is going to be devastating to Democrats.
And now that the various connections to Democrats will be out there we’ll see a lot less of this:
ICYMI: My latest @NewsBusters study looked at *every mention* of Epstein on ABC, CBS, and NBC across their morning, evening, and Sunday political talk shows.
The result? 821 minutes from July 7 thru this morning, which is nearly 14 HOURS of coverage. https://t.co/eACPho8Gv5
Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy literally said recently, 'Clearly, Donald Trump was at the center of a child sex ring. That is heartbreaking that the President of the United States was involved in that kind of gross, craven immorality.' That is a positively surrealistic read on what…

His list starting with the Iran strikes and ending with the remission bill could be added onto very easily. In fact even those who hate him would concede that no president has ever managed to get so much done at the start of a term (1st or 2nd).
Meanwhile the Democrats are at 19% (Think about it a sec a Dem candidate who loses a race 61-39 can boast that they out performed their party by 20 POINTS!) and according to CNN’s own polling the Epstein stuff hasn’t hurt Trump with the GOP, except on twitter/X which is as reflective of reality as a porn star’s breasts).
So all that being said why are the left pushing the not even strong enough to be a nothing burger supposedly 22 year old birthday letter (which would not rise to the level of a nothing burger even if it was real) in particular and Epstein in general these days? Because the alternative is talking about either their failures (19% rating, communist running in NYC) or Trump’s repeated wins.
They need a different topic and although there are risks to this (particularly to folks like the Clintons who might end up thrown out of the bus) anything is better than allowing reality to pierce the bubble that their niche is clinging to.
Pam Bondi’s poor choice of words is the only kink we’ve seen in Trump in months, and Trump is slightly frustrated at the lack of attention to all that winning, yet he has not been all that fast in providing transparency here which frankly I agree should be forthcoming.
The question is why and since I remember May of 2016 and know it’s not because he’s actually implicated in anything I submit and suggest the following answer:
He’s playing Br’re Rabbit in the Briar Patch on the left.
You must remember that Trump is a native New Yorker, he grew up in the city, knew everybody, had access to everybody and spent most of his adult life having to do business in blue cities and corrupt cities all over the world. To get what he wanted he had to play ball and because he had $ was invited to every party and every gathering, he was given award and access. He know who and what all these leftists are and how they operate and remember, at every gathering he was at (and he was welcome at all of them till about 2015) he was sober.
So he knows how deeply up to their necks these guys were corrupt and I suspect during his first term he figured they would be willing to make deals to advance his agenda. What he didn’t realize and suspect was that they truly wanted to destroy him, first politically and finally by 2024 physically.
I think he’s going to let the Epstein stuff play out as far as he can all the time saying to people like Elizabeth Warren:
“Oh please Please Br’re Pocahontas don’t throw me into the Epstein patch!”
And then when the left is fully committed to both the release of the information and harsh punishment for all those involved (including all those who have given them millions upon millions over the years) and then BOOM!
When that time comes and the decides to give them exactly what they want, a lot of very rich and very bad leftist and their funders will find themselves in trouble meanwhile Donald Trump will be hopping away singing:
“Born and bred in a Briar Patch!”
And will hop away while the left convicts themselves.
100 years ago we had one of the wisest Presidents ever in office. That man was Calvin Coolidge. He was known for an age of prosperity but also known for giving good advice such as this line:
“I have never been hurt by what I have not said.”
Coolidge once held the office of Vice President, JD Vance the current Vice President apparently has taken his advice to heart and put out a hilarious tweet in the face of the whole world screaming for him to say something about Trump vs Musk which said:
Slow news day, what are we even going to talk about?
It’s worth pointing out that Elon Musk is right that the “Big Beautiful Bill” does not cut as much as it should and spends more than it should, that is simple math and Elon is very good at math.
But as an engineer he should also be good at the math involving tolerances, that is, how far you can push something before you reach the danger point.
As I’ve already pointed out, this is the best bill that could be gotten out of the house with the majority you have, the math is very direct, you needed one more than a majority in the House and 50 votes in the senate on a reconciliation bill.
Without bigger majorities you can’t do better than this. It’s not just a matter of straight math it’s a matter of tolerances and Musk should know this.
There was a lot of talk coming out of the MSM over yesterday but the thing that I found absolutely Hilarious was this tweet from the official Democrat party twitter/x account:
I'm sorry but getting @TheDemocrats to call for the release of the #EpsteinFiles is troll level ULTIMATE!
I think the feud is a real thing but if it's not this is 12 dimensional chess not 4 https://t.co/lsWAZGv8T8
In case the tweet doesn’t show the Democrats tweeted:
Kill the bill and release the Epstein Files!
Yes you read that right, the DEMOCRATS are now suddenly calling for the release of the Epstein files. I replied thus:
I’m sorry but getting @TheDemocrats to call for the release of the #EpsteinFiles is troll level ULTIMATE! I think the feud is a real thing but if it’s not this is 12 dimensional chess not 4
This is why you should never tweet while angry or on a emotional high.
If I’m Trump I tell Pam Bondi: I know you’re going through them but dump them all by the end of next week they asked for it.
I say the end of next week because this is going to be the only story for the next few days so if you have news you want hidden now’s the time to drop it.
I often refer to Tip O’Neill’s excellent autobiography “Man of the House” because it has so many lesions on how politics works. Yesterday’s kerfuffle remined me of one such story.
LBJ was meeting with Tip and called for some polling figures and an aide was slow in getting them and Johnson chewed him out with a profanity laced tirade. When Tip spoke to the aide saying that president or no I wouldn’t take that kind of grief from anyone the aide answered: That’s just his way five minutes from now he’ll forget all about it.
If there is one consistent thing about Donald Trump it’s the ability to work with people that he doesn’t agree with or even doesn’t get along with because he is completely goal orientated. You will see him make peace and a deal with anybody as long as it advances his goals. He’ll let Elon rant and jab him gently as he has so far but one there is a common goal he won’t be shy about making up with him, particularly when he knows he holds all the cards right now.
There are folks like Steve Bannon, who never liked or trusted Musk who want Trump to go all Houthis in Yemen on him.
Trump won’t rise to that bait. He’ll simply let good economic numbers for the country (and bad stock numbers for Tesla) speak for themselves. He’ll let folks like the teamsters who voted for him remind him that he may have kicked in money but the voters were showing up at rallies for Trump long before he turned up and that with one customer base already upset with him it’s not a good idea to upset a second until Elon reaches the Cardinal Richelieu moment from the 1948 version of the Three Musketeers:
When that moment comes (and there are signs it already has) Trump will take this scene from The Chosen to heart:
Let’s pray for them both and hope Elon this scene from the classic picture Harvey to heart.
I recommend pleasant over smart too or to quote Tip O’Neill again: “I always knew how to count.”
Finally there is one point on this thing that I completely missed that John Nolte didn’t:
Nolte said, “We don’t know what’s really going on, but I do know that Trump is sticking his finger in the eye of his biggest donor and that never happens. How many times did Barack Obama piss off George Soros? Zero.”
Seriously can you think of any pol, even one who doesn’t have to face the voters again, who is willing to stand up to his biggest donor to advance what he thinks is right? Does nobody see the amount of street cred this gives Donald Trump in terms of fighting for his principles? Who else has ever done this?
It’s like the story of the Mafia approaching Rocky Marciano to try to get him to throw his title fight against Don Cockell to clean up on the odds. Rocky rebuked them saying he was ashamed that they were Italian. The dons were disappointed but were impressed that he stood up to them.
In the end when Musk realizes this he will get that his best chance to meet his goal of reaching Mars is with Trump at his side vs sword to sword.
Yesterday the left was partying like Satan until 3 pm on Good Friday, let me remind them it quickly went down hill for him from that point.
The Indiana Heat of the WNBA are currently in the #7 playoff spot, a half game ahead of the #8 team and a full 3 games ahead of the #9 team which means that barring disaster over their last 13 games Caitlin Clark is going to take a team that hasn’t made it to the playoffs for nearly a decade back into the WNBA playoffs.
Can’t wait to see the ratings.
Kamala is busy stealing Trump ideas promising to do all kinds of things that she hasn’t bothered to do before.
If I’m the GOP I’m quickly passing a bill to make tips exempt from federal taxes and to advance the credit that Trump proposed that Kamala is pushing as well.
Get the both passed and let the dems in the senate kill them the week of their convention.
Epstein explained how the prosecutors tried to get him to give testimony to support Trump’s impeachment, even if it wasn’t true. Here is Tartaglione’s description of their conversation:
He [Epstein] said, ‘I don’t know anything. . . . But the government told me I don’t have to prove what I say about Trump as long as Trump’s people can’t disprove it.’ I [Tartaglione] said ‘Yes, he’s the President of the United States. His people are the FBI.’ He [Epstein] said, ‘That’s what I said, and they said, no, the FBI’s our people, not his people.’
It is worth noting that Section 1622 of the U.S. Criminal Code (Title 18) provides as follows:
§1622. Subornation of perjury
Whoever procures another to commit any perjury is guilty of subornation of perjury, and shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.
There have been no follow up interviews with Tartaglione. Jessica reports that the day after she posted the audio of her interview with him, he was transferred out of the Brooklyn MDC, where he had been for eight years, to an unknown destination, and has not been heard from since:
I miss the days when the FBI was actually busy protecting Americans and following the law, assuming they were actually doing that in those days.
I’ve spent a lot of years comparing the Abortion industry to the Slavery industry and there is one thing that they both have in common.
There’s some real irony here. Pro-life groups have spent decades campaigning against abortion and especially against late-term abortion. But it seems many clinics (like the ones in New York mentioned above) are now feeling pressure to stop performing these late abortions, not because of a change in the law but because of Bidenflation. I guess that’s what they call a silver lining.
I’m not a fan of Biden/Harris inflation but if the higher prices are saving kids lives I’ll take the hit.
For 40 years I have been picking up meds for DaWife but have never had to take any myself.
This ended today as apparently my blood pressure which has been historically low all my life has shot up to levels so high that my wife is shocked I haven’t had a stroke.
This is not a huge surprise as my father had issues with both his heart and high blood pressure and died at 65, then again he was a heavy smoker till he was 45 and a heavy drinker till about 50 and I’ve never smoked and I drink so infrequently (maybe a dozen drinks a year) that most people think I’m a teetotaler.
I think not having regular meds till 61 isn’t bad but it’s a dramatic change for me and given the BP levels I’ve been showing over the last two weeks I guess it’s necessary but I would have liked to make it to retirement before I needed meds.
It is what it is and after all a man has to die of SOMETHING
