Brainerd, Minnesota is a very red county in northern Minnesota. On a day with temps of -11F in January we had several hundred people protesting outside of the county Courthouse.

“Hello there … yes … is this the US Congress? This is Jeffy calling … just wondering … has anybody seen my FILES?! I heard there was a law that, like, everybody was supposed to see them by now, right? I mean … the “law” is still a thing, right? Just curious … thanks.”

America has never been perfect … not even close … but overnight we have gone from a reliable partner in the world, to a dangerous pariah.

I, for one, resent the hell out of it; and a majority of Americans do as well.

This expresses so simply and so well the fundamental position the normal, average American finds themself in right now. It’s certainly how I feel. “We don’t have a choice.”

The Epstein Files Transparency Act, gave the Department of Justice until Dec. 19, 2025, to turn over investigative documents related to Epstein. Khanna and Massie wrote that the court should appoint a special master or independent monitor to make sure the department complies with the law.

The shooter must be arrested and so does Bovino. This was blatant murder.

Let’s get real about Jeffrey Epstein and his “friends.”

Being on the “list” but being uninvolved or unaware of his criminal enterprise is not an option. EVERYBODY who knew him knew what he was about. You were either involved, or you were repulsed and would never be seen in the same room with him.
