“Lorin Stein, the disgraced former editor of The Paris Review who resigned after accusations of sexual impropriety, forwarded to Wolff an email from the writer Stephen Elliott, who intended to sue the list’s creator… Epstein promises to ‘help anyway i can.’”
How the men in the Epstein files defeated #MeToo
The emails show the “anti-woke” crusaders are afraid of accountability.

I don’t get the debate about whether T***p posted the vile video himself or not. The WH has been posting videos of people being shackled set to rap music. All of this is T***p. It’s his administration. A great businessman like DJT should know the buck stops at him.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
