This post pretty summaries most of what is in the public about z Trump and Epstein's relationship.
In a nutshell , the smears were accelerated by Billary Clinton.

https://www.stonecoldtruth.com/p/trump-and-epstein-the-truth-emerges
Excerpt.

.....Trump turned down numerous invitations to Epstein’s hedonistic private island and his Palm Beach home.The one time I visited his Palm Beach home, the swimming pool was full of beautiful young girls,” Trump told a member of his Club, Mar-a-Lago. “‘How nice,’ I thought, ‘he let the neighborhood kids use his pool.’” According to his personal security guard, Trump left Epstein's home within 15 minutes of arrival, feeling uncomfortable with the strange ratio of men to much younger women.

........... preparation for his confirmation hearings in the U.S. Senate when he was appointed Secretary of Labor by President Donald Trump, Acosta told U.S. Senate staffers that if asked about his disposition of the Epstein case as U.S. Attorney, he would say that the DOJ told him that Epstein worked for the CIA and that the matter needed to be closed and the file legally sealed.

........
The Clinton Foundation provided one hundred percent of the funding for TerraMar, a nonprofit controlled by Epstein love-vendor Ghislaine Maxwell, which was utilized to hire young female interns to allegedly work on environmental projects while actually constituting a grooming pool of Epstein's future victims.


It's by Roger Stone, expect any unfavourable detail to be left out. But from everything I've read , it pretty much corroborates. I've posted most of what I've read here previously.


**** Trump is not willing to meet with Elon Musk****

*** David Choen who Epstein's lawyer in 2019 yesterday said on X that Epstein had no nothing whatsoever on Trump. Which pretty much corroborates Roger Stone article I've quoted.

Judge Murphy ordered the following illegal aliens deportees not to be released to an African country before being given a chance to challenge their deportations. Their own countries don't want them.

3 ICE officers are detailed with them in Djibouti camp.

_Enrique Arias Hierro, a Cuban national, who was convicted in 1999 of attempted second-degree murder and robbery and in 2007 for kidnapping, robbery and impersonating a police officer, earning him a 15-year prison sentence.
_Jose Manuel Rodriguez-Quinones, another Cuban national convicted in 2008 of arson and cocaine trafficking; in 2020 of illegal possession of a firearm; and in 2022 of attempted first-degree murder, earning him a four-year prison sentence.
Thongxay Nilakout, a Laotian national, who was convicted in 1995 for the first-degree murderof a German tourist in California — and sentenced to life in prison without parole.
_Jesus Munoz-Gutierrez, a citizen of Mexico, who was convicted in 2005 of second-degree murder for stabbing his then-roommate with a knife and later sentenced to 25 years in prison.
_Kyaw Mya, of Myanmar, who was convicted in 2019 for repeatedly sexually assaulting a minor from 2011 to 2017 starting when the victim was 7 years old. Mya was later sentenced to 10 years in prison.
_Nyo Myint, also of Myanmar, who was convicted in 2020 of first-degree sexual assault involving a victim mentally and physically incapable of resisting. He was sentenced to 12 years in prison.
_Tuan Thanh Phan, of Vietnam, who was convicted in 2001 of first-degree murder after he “randomly” discharged a firearm into a crowd following a gang dispute and later sentenced to 22 years in prison.
_Dian Peter Domach, the only Sudanese national in the group, who was convicted in 2014 of armed robbery and sentenced to 14 years in prison.



Trump should bring them back and have them detained in the judges house.
You may want to compare their sentencing to Tina Peters whose crime was taking copies of 2020 electoral data from Dominion computers the Colorado Sec of State had ordered be wiped out. She got 9 years.

DOGE caucus to present a bill
the Delivering On Government Efficiency (DOGE) in Spending Act, would require the Treasury Department to link each federal payment to a budget account, include a clear description, and cross-check it against existing government databases to verify accuracy and eligibility. The legislation would also ensure every expenditure is made publicly available on USAspending.gov, with annual updates for ongoing transactions. It’s a major transparency push—and a potential pay-for in the Big Beautiful Bill.

Treasury just gets a pay request and wires the money often without indicating the purpose of the payments. $6 Trillion a year is wired out , $2.88 Billion an hour ( 40 hour week).
Without clear indication , auditors will take a gazillion years to cross reference every payment , they still ran COBOL on their mainframe.
US Treasury relies heavily on COBOL for many of its critical systems, particularly within the Bureau of the Fiscal Service and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). COBOL, a programming language developed in 1959, is used in legacy mainframe systems to process high-volume financial transactions, such as tax processing, Social Security payments, and other federal disbursements. For example, the IRS uses approximately 160 COBOL applications with an average of 235,000 lines of code per application, including systems like the Individual Master File (IMF) for taxpayer data, which also incorporates IBM Assembler. The Treasury's Payment Application Modernization (PAM) and Secured Payment System (SPS) also run on COBOL, handling trillions of dollars in payments annually, with PAM alone processing $4.7 trillion in 2024.

Despite its age, COBOL remains in use due to its reliability, scalability, and precision for financial calculations, especially with fixed-point decimal arithmetic critical for accurate monetary transactions. However, challenges include the scarcity of COBOL programmers, as the language is no longer widely taught, and the complexity of modernizing these systems without disrupting critical operations.

Advice your young ones to master COBOL smiley smiley

Tucker was earning $20 million annually at Fox. It's not easy to come up with that type of income on your own in the media. If you take people with a following. On substack the top 10 earn about $25 million a year combined and you can imagine the amount of work one puts in to have 100k people subscribing to read your articles faithfully

Tucker I believe is probably paid by anyone including despots to put h in a good word about them. His views depend on what's putting food on the table that day.

Trump orders investigation into Joe Biden autopen,his mental health

a) The Counsel to the President, in consultation with the Attorney General and the head of any other relevant executive department or agency (agency), shall investigate, to the extent permitted by law, whether certain individuals conspired to deceive the public about Biden's mental state and unconstitutionally exercise the authorities and responsibilities of the President. This investigation shall address:

[b]i) any activity, coordinated or
otherwise, to purposefully shield the public from information regarding Biden's mental and physical health;

(ii) any agreements between Biden's aides to cooperatively and falsely deem recorded videos of the President's cognitive inability as fake;
(iii) any agreements between Biden's aides to require false, public statements elevating the President's capabilities; and
(iv) the purpose of these activities, including to assert the authorities of the President.
(b) The Counsel to the President shall also investigate, in consultation with the Attorney General and the head of any other relevant agency, the circumstances surrounding Biden's supposed execution of numerous executive actions during his final years in office. This investigation shall address:
(i) the policy documents for which the autopen was used, including clemency grants, Executive Orders, Presidential memoranda, or other Presidential policy decisions; and
(ii) who directed that the President's signature be affixed.


At the same time Congress James Corner has issued the following people with notices to appear before just Committee.

Ron Klain (Former White House Chief of Staff)

Anita Dunn (Former Senior White House Advisor)

Bob Bauer (Former Biden Attorney)

Mike Donilon (Former Senior Advisor to Joe Biden)

Bruce Reed (Former Deputy Chief of Staff)


Neera Tandem is likely the worst offender of the autopen scandal.
All the above served senior roles during Obama presidency both for him and his then VP Biden.

Pretext of what?? Kindly tell us mighty "wise one"

Ukraine scoring a big hit against Russia, is now a Pretext to attack Estonia and Germany??

Soviet Union pilots thou on training flew Soviet made migs against US fighters in Vietnam, supported South Vietnamese forces with troops against the US, the US also supported the Mujadeens against Soviet forces in Afghanistan, both countries even in the peak of the "Cold war" era never attacked each other, knowing fully well the consequences on both powers and the world at large

As long as there's no "direct" provocations from either side there will be no "direct" confrontation between the US led Nato and Russia, all confrontation will be done via proxies.

There's simply no "Pretext" of Russia attacking a NATO member without any direct military provocation from the bloc.

Are you not the same person who said Russia should declare war on Ukraine after the drone strikes?? 😅😅😂🤣 You are way out of your depth dude, stick to copy and paste mate.

Biden press secretary Karrine Jean Pierre is also writing a book about the white house under Biden and now leaving the democratic party

The cookies are really crumbling, the lies they told for several years are crumbling. They are now jumping ship
I've seen she stands to make upto $3 million from the book.
Who buys such books. She lied for 4 years, I know white people generally don't like being lied to.. At least the British people, don't know much about Americans.
My reasoning is that she played her part and since she can't get paid directly she writes a nonsensical book and the publisher pays upfront. Then the democrat machine or donors buys large quantities of the books to distribute to their supporters. Killing several birds with one stone. Book appears on the bestsellers list cheating the public that's it's a hotcake , the publisher recoups his investment and the author gets a big payday. I also get the feeling that liberal libraries say in the thousands of universities, colleges and high school also buy many copies of the book few will bother reading. Libraries pride themselves in having every book possible on their shelves.
So whether you buy it or not, it will have sales.

Writing a book.

Karine Jean-Pierre, the former White House press secretary, is indeed writing a book titled Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines, set for release on October 21, 2025. Published by Legacy Lit, a Hachette Book Group imprint, it promises an insider’s perspective on President Biden’s decision not to run for reelection in 2024 and critiques the two-party system. Jean-Pierre, who served as press secretary from May 2022 to January 2025, announced she has left the Democratic Party to become an independent, framing the book as a call to think beyond partisan lines. She describes it as a reflection on her role speaking for the President until January 20, 2025, and her subsequent shift to advocating for a less polarized political approach.
