1. Donald Trump spent Thanksgiving with Jeffrey Epstein *after* Epstein’s arrest.

2. Their falling out was over real estate, not pedophilia.

3. Nancy Mace is not a well woman.
Nancy Mace: "It was Donald Trump who banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago. He may have been a whistleblower. And if he did, thank God for Donald Trump. I don't know that there's anything this man cannot do in this country."

An interesting thing here, given the news, is that the secretary of education is the defendant in a suit accusing her of turning a blind eye to the operations of a child molestation ring that, there is no dispute, operated within her business from the 1970s to the 1990s
This is a direct attack on our children & our future.

At a time when we need to be doing more to prepare our kids to compete in the global economy, Trump is going after the agency that strengthens American education. Once again, he's helping our adversaries & competitors.
Trump administration to announce dismantling of much of Education Dept.
President Donald Trump signed an executive order in March seeking to close the department, but only Congress has the power to do that.

And the owner of the paper will repurpose the opinion section the journalist wrote for to propagandize for the regime trivializing his death, while pretending he’s all about “personal liberties.” One might think this included the personal liberty not to be dismembered with a bone saw
You can oversee the bloody dismemberment of a Washington Post journalist with a bone saw, and the president of the United States will smile, shake your hand and threaten to pull the license of a news outlet whose reporter asks you a question about it.

He didn't dismiss it. He didn't no-comment it. He answered it by saying "things happen" and suggested that Khashoggi deserved to be murdered. You had plenty of characters to explain that accurately yet you chose not to.

79-year-old Paul Bojerski was born to Polish parents in a WWII German refugee camp. His family legally emigrated to the U.S. when he was 5.

He’s been taken by ICE in Florida.

Why would Jeffrey Epstein kill himself in jail if he had this much leverage of the one person who could give him a full pardon?

ICEstapo detained 81 people in Charlotte, NC yesterday.

The internet is littered with videos of them using excessive force and ignoring legal documentation provided by the detainees.

Here’s my advice for ICEstapo:

Take a night off.

Go to the movies.

Watch “Nuremberg”.

Your time is coming.

Think about how much the press obsessed over Barack Obama’s “relationship” with former Weatherman Bill Ayers, a relationship that consisted of their serving on the same nonprofit board of directors for three years.
It's remarkable that the number of news analyses/pundit takes that the Democrats are too extreme--out of touch, too focused on divisive cultural issues, too beholden to progressive orthodoxy--far exceeds the articles on the Trump/GOP's connections to the far right. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/16/u...
