The Morning Report — 7/11/25
But, you see, here’s the thing: People want answers that seem logical, that provide rational explanations to obvious questions, that provide proof that the speculation is wrong. This is particularly true when the people now saying there’s nothing there were the very people who promised that answers, transparency, and accountability would be coming when they won. Well, they won, and we’re getting the same obfuscation. . . The problem here is that this is all happening in an environment where Americans are coming to believe that no one is ever accountable for their actions. We see city centers across the country imploding as stores, shops, and hotels close because of the crime that sees hoodlums, thugs, and drug addicts in urban centers basically take or destroy with impunity whatever they want. We see judges issue injunctions against the administration despite SCOTUS specifically ruling they can’t. At the same time, we have politicians, Antifa, and activists undermining, hindering, and assaulting ICE agents who are trying to deport criminals, and the chances of them being held accountable for these crimes are almost nonexistent.Bingo. Of course Democrat/Leftist politicians and sometimes their useful RINO confederates are protected up until the point where they become political liabilities, and then they are thrown to the wolves. When roving bands of criminals, domestic terrorists and criminal domestic terrorists can riot, loot and burn with impunity while the average citizen is arrested, and tried for self defense (Kyle Rittenhouse) or worse, arrested, tried and imprisoned for merely exercising their first amendment right of free speech (1/6/21 in DC, at school board meetings and abortion abattoirs), a very dangerous precedent is set that can only end in the breakdown of the civil society as trust in our institutions that are meant to preserve said society is completely eroded. Look at it this way. When degenerate scum like Jasmine Crockett and Karen Bass and the majority of their fellow Democrat politicians — again John Fetterman being the surprising lone voice of sanity and reason in that Snake Pit of Evil — openly call for violent resistance to Ice and law enforcement in carrying out their legitimate duties to arrest, detain and deport illegal aliens, What does that do to the morale and effectiveness of the officers on the front line? Answer: it destroys it and will ultimately lead to their dissolution or worse their defection to the terrorists and criminals and maybe the ultimate formation of citizens brigades that will arm and protect themselves even if it means using deadly force to do so. Is that what we really want? Answer that any way you want, but for sure it might very well be where we are heading, and then all bets are off.
Elsewhere, President Trump's near 180 degree pivot on Ukraine is disappointing if not outright alarming in its potential implications.
Some, like Tucker Carlson (who seems to spend half his time in the Gulf and seems to have offered flattering interviews to every Muslim tyrant in the region), were obvious agents of foreign influence, others may have been sincere in their hysteria, but the combined effect made the movement look like clowns, especially once they were proven wrong. Most refused to admit they were wrong, but have gone on claiming that if it wasn’t for their bedwetting, we’d all be dead. Whoever won the debate on social media is hard to say, but we all know who won the debate in real life. Trump acted and shrugged off the antics. But, interestingly, there are signs he’s pivoting on Ukraine. While that may be in part hardball negotiating politics due to Putin’s refusal to make a deal, but it seems to have ramped up after the same people who had vocally argued against U.S. support for Ukraine burned up all their credibility trying to stop a U.S. strike on Iran’s nukes.There is no doubt that a severely degraded if not completely destroyed Iranian nuclear program is a wonderful thing for world peace and security. Whether America should have been directly involved in delivering the coup de grace Qom shot at the Fordow foundation is something that even I, as an ardent supporter of Israel, thought beforehand was not the best course of action but what's done is done, and as stated, and the nuke program is a smoldering ruin. What emerges from the ashes there and in the Iranian government are still big question marks. But President Trump's meddling in a war between Russia and Ukraine that has much less if not zero national security ramifications for America, unlike the Iranian nuclear program, is a head-scratcher. Russia as of right now will likely win the war and even if Trump does push Putin and Shecky Zelensky to a negotiation table, does anyone really think that Putin is going to surrender a single inch of territory? Regardless of the fact that Putin started this latest round of war, there is going to have to be some give and take on both sides, so what will Ukraine give up in order to stop the carnage? As for Trump, is he merely doing this to get a Nobel Peace Prize, which would never happen anyway? What does Donald Trump and the USA have to gain by meddling here and potentially getting involved in a war that could very quickly get out of hand where a lot of hair would get mussed . . "depending on the breaks" as General Buck Turgidson would say. I think a better use of our military forces would be to degrade and destroy Antifa and those who are funding them here at home.
Months of violent left-wing anti-ICE rhetoric achieved its apparently desired end state this week as an alleged Antifa cell conducted an attempted assassination of police officers outside the Praireland Detention Center, being used by Immigration and Customs Enforcement as a detention facility for illegal aliens. On July 4, 11 black-garbed individuals, some equipped with body armor, ammunition, and firearms, conducted what the Department of Justice described as a “planned ambush.” Two of the attackers allegedly opened fire on ICE officers after their comrades initiated a disturbance to lure officers out of the building and into the line of fire by launching fireworks and spray painting anti-ICE slogans on nearby property. A police officer was shot in the neck but is expected to live. According to the criminal complaint filed by the Department of Justice, pamphlets on insurrectionary anarchism and propaganda materials, including a “Resist Fascism” flag, were recovered by law enforcement.And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar.

- Sources tell The National Pulse that Lefkowitz has outplayed federal negotiators in the Trump administration and is on the verge of finalizing an agreement with the U.S. government to rescue the far-left college from the brink of financial disaster. This involves restoring over $400 million in suspended federal grants and preserving its tax-exempt status and accreditation, even as the university faces accusations of civil rights violations and internal bigotry against both Trump supporters and Jewish students.Lefkowitz’s name is infamous among legal and political observers. In 2007, while a partner at Kirkland & Ellis, he helped broker a non-prosecution deal with then-U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta that let Epstein dodge a 53-count federal indictment in Florida. The pair met at a Marriott 70 miles from the prosecutor’s office to hammer out the secret arrangement. Epstein would plead guilty to state prostitution charges, serve just 13 months with work-release perks, and—most shockingly—his victims would never be notified, a blatant violation of federal law.

It was an abrupt shock to the president’s base, especially after Attorney General Pam Bondi previously acknowledged that she was reviewing a “client list” and a group of MAGA social media influencers received a “Phase 1” binder of the Epstein files.

- “Let me tell you, I know for a fact documents are being suppressed and being suppressed to protect individuals,” Dershowitz said. “I know the names of the individuals, I know why they’re being suppressed, I know who’s suppressing him,” he continued. “But I’m bound by confidentiality from a judge and cases and I can’t disclose what I know.”

While Cornyn ultimately voted against that proposal after its inevitable defeat became clear, critics saw it as emblematic of his long-standing connection with Mitch McConnell and the Washington establishment.

Off to another day of jury duty for me. As ancient as I am, I was only ever called up once before, but was unselected after a few rounds. This is a Grand Jury, which is a different animal. Secret stuff. Some of it's kind of funny, despite the fact that it's for the most serious crimes.

... openly call for violent resistance to Ice and law enforcement in carrying out their legitimate duties to arrest, detain and deport illegal aliens...
The Democrats are guilty of a lack of imagination. For the entirety of the lives of every single Democrat officeholder, domestic political violence has only ever come from their side. They believe it to be axiomatic that this will always be the case despite countless examples to the contrary in other countries.

While sadly no doubt this is true. The fact that he opens his mouth at all, merely for temporary local political expediency, is still welcome and helpful, even if just for the short term.

Elsewhere, President Trumps near 180 degree pivot on Ukraine is disappointing if not outright alarming in its potential implications.
While the linked article says "there are signs he’s pivoting on Ukraine", no example of these signs are provided. I shall refrain from wetting my pants at this time.

"The real issue with Epstein is accountability."
It's the issue across the board not just with Epstein. But Trump has apparently taken stock of the costs of accountability with Epstein and concluded they are too high. He can mitigate the political damage by forcing accountability elsewhere (and there are countless opportunities).

I heard that he is agreeing to provide defensive weapons.
Yeah, it's amazing, after 5 or 6 years of Trump that people take any development regarding him at face value.
It's all negotiating, and keeping the involved parties off-balance. Everything could change at a moment's notice.
Regarding this stuff, he recently said that these defensive weapons are "hard to get", and maybe even that we need to stock up on them for ourselves first.
But bedwetters gonna bedwet. What we really know for sure is that he wants it ended. Less certain is the theory that Ukraine's war is a Globalist money-laundering operation, and that Putin (as opposed to Russia as a whole) is also anti-Globalist. But Trump DOES seem to be working with Putin on things (Putin denied weapons to Iran, for example).

RE: Epstein files
We all know Trump was falsely accused, in a civil suit, by one of Epstein's victims. What's the likelyhood that same info is included as part of the raw, unvetted, informtion in the Epstein case files? Along with any other's falsley accused? Do you trust the public to fairly distinguish the false accusations from solid evidence in a unredacted and full release of the Epstein files?

The problem with the Jeff Epstein fiasco is anything built on lies cannot last. Like the old Soviet Union and all it's party members, agents and lackeys on their payroll. If the federales want to cover it up because they sit on a Throne Of Lies and need to protect all the important assholes around the world, fine. But sooner or later the truth will come out.

But President Trump's meddling in a war between Russia and Ukraine that has much less if not zero national security ramifications for America, unlike the Iranian nuclear program, is a head-scratcher.
This isn't 4D chess, this is total capitulation to the Endless War Neocons™ I'm sure that this was part of the deal to get the B³ passed - join in the death dirge of Make America Last Again.
Trump is giving away America's last round of Patriot missiles to a dictator thug who won't stop until he is cut off from Endless Plunder of the West.
Trump has lost all credibility to me on "stopping the needless deaths".
We still have out tax cuts and illegals are still being deported so we have that - but the destruction of America is still on notch 7

That's one possibility. Another theory is that he's trying to make the targets think they're no longer targets, so that they can be caught by surprise, without the opportunity to flee the country, or cause damage of some kind. There's a large network to take down, and it's an incredibly powerful one.
Let's give them a little benefit of the doubt. Trump isn't going to let that crap go unpunished.

Russia as of right now will likely win the war and even if Trump does push Putin and Shecky Zelensky to a negotiation table, does anyone really think that Putin is going to surrender a single inch of territory? Regardless of the fact that Putin started this latest round of war, there is going to have to be some give and take on both sides, so what will Ukraine give up in order to stop the carnage?
Putin may give back some territory around the edges but the Donbas and Crimea are never going back to Ukraine unless the Untied States goes to war with Russia and takes them back.
That isn’t happening.
Putin has laid out his demands to end the war repeatedly, but D.C. and the E.U. don’t like the demands and instead pretend they can dictate the terms to Putin as though we’re winning this thing. It’s a stalemate and Russia is consolidating its gains while pushing west to capture more territory.
Putin won’t stop until he gets a guarantee of no future Ukraine membership in NATO, preferably with new leadership at the helm.
The EU, having sold this entire war as an existential crisis, can’t stop now. They want to build their dream army and this war is the only way they can do that

Absolutely not, and Bondi is trying to figure out ways to make a bad situation worse by the way she is incompetently handling this.
Trump was all in on Transparency, and to date it has served him very well with reëstablishing credibility with a understandably cynical public. The Three Stooges are messing this up so much, that it almost looks more like sabotage rather than raw incompetence.
• admit that there is a mountain of evidence
• tell people that the three-letter agencies have worked over the years to exploit espionage and extortion opportunities and have taken money to destroy inconvenient records
• handing the data over to the Fifth Column media will result in character assassination and the destruction of innocent by-standers.
• exposure of some guilty people is a National Security issue. Admit that some people are too big to jail.
We already know this and already have hatred and contempt for all of those involved.

2. Insofar as I'm aware, Andrew did not engage in amorous exploits with his accuser in the US.
3. Nothing Andrew is alleged to have done with his accuser was illegal.
Why would the US DOJ be working a case on it?

Wife lists adultery as one of her grounds for divorce apparently. There's definitely a part of the GOP base here in Texas that will not love this.

New York City socialist's mayoral platform includes a call to replace cops with 'crisis responders' in 'mental health' cases
Zohran Mamdani Called To Stop Sending Cops to People 'Going Through Domestic Violence'
Mental health workers aren't going to stop strangulation (mostly not leading to death but a leading factor in domestic violence.) The police need to be called, especially when there are children in the home.

The anti-Trumpists are screaming that his cuts (which have not yet actually happened) led to less than the optimal two staffers being on duty at NOAA. LIE: There were five on duty.
A local "lawmaker" is complaining, too, that rural hospitals will be forced to close and many Medicaid recipients will die. Well, sir, a lot of those recipients are illegal and shouldn't be here, let alone be receiving citizens' benefits . . . and if the legal *and able-bodied* citizens need to work to receive the benefits, what's wrong with that?

>>Why would the US DOJ be working a case on it?
Because Epstein was running an international prostitution, child *** and extortion racket, and PA was one of his main clients.
Again, I understand, they are closing the books on Epstein, so they are ending cases.
It's bullsh*t and this is not going to go away no matter what they do.

Regarding Russia and Ukraine…. Trump is a deal maker. I think he’s pivoting to Ukraine out of frustration with Putin who’s only been escalating the whole thing the last few months…. Anyone who ever thought Trump was a Putin pawn just weren’t paying attention. It’s simple: Trump wants that war to end ASAP… he was frustrated with Zelensky when he was the impediment and now he’s frustrated with Putin for the same reason

Paxton's affair was the instigating incident of his corruption investigation and impeachment. It was on the news every day for a year or so in Texas. His wife is a Texas senator. She sat in the Senate and listened to the testimony.
1. This is already baked into the cake for Texas voters. They know and still prefer Paxton to Cornyn.
2. This was going to come up in the campaign. Something something woman scorned. Should have looked at resolving this with his wife somewhere along the way. Should have a ready comms strategy.

Nothing Dershowitz said contradicts with DOJ's memo from earlier in the week. Dershowitz was talking about protecting false accusers, whereas DOJ has a policy of not exposing the identity of purported victims if they choose to remain anonymous.

“Morale is in the crapper,” a former ICE agent told Miroff on the condition of anonymity out of fear of repercussions. “Even those that are gung ho about the mission aren’t happy with how they are asking to execute it – the quotas and the shift to the low-hanging fruit to make the numbers.”
I hope they have horrific nightmares every single night for decades. You shat your own bed, you can lie in it. Current ICE agents will be all but unemployable under future admins.
I'll bet there are a substantial number of them that are relishing it. What person wants to be an ICE agent to begin with.
At what price are they selling their souls to do this inhumane deed? Trump will have to fill the ranks by pardoning more (Aryan) thugs.
Don't believe it. Wth the incredible amount of money ICE just got, one can assume the bounties will get even larger which will attract all the bounty hunters they will need.
It's only a matter of time before they face armed resistance. They are part of a truly evil organization, people are going to fight back soon.
They're not miserable enough. Mock them. Humiliate them and make the job psychologically hurt.

Putin has lost all trust in dealing with the West.
As the Russians have repeatedly stated that they were promised by Jim Baker that NATO would not move an inch east, and for the past thirty years it’s gone further and further towards Moscow.
I’m no Russophile but they were really treated terribly by the West in that regard.
Putin was practically begging W. to join NATO and we basically brushed them off and then went to war in the M.E. while NATO got more aggressive gobbling up Eastern Europe.
Angela Merkel has admitted that the Minsk Accords, meant to stop the fighting in eastern Ukraine after 2014 were designed solely to give Ukraine time to rearm and take back the lost territories.
So the Russians don’t believe the West negotiates in good faith, and don’t trust our leadership to keep their word on any agreements made.
Putin has decided to take what he needs and dictate the end of the war on his own terms because of all that.
He’ll try to negotiate with Trump but he knows the U.S. is only half the problem and the EU & Ukraine are the intransigent parties preventing an agreement because they want to keep fighting no matter what the Americans are doing.

Bush totally fucked this up. On 9/12 he had a perfect reason to make America more energy independent.
He should have order NERC and DoE to survey every military base for locating a standard mass produced reactor and to offer grid operators 50 year fixed prices.
The Navy has more experience in nukes than the rest of the world put together.

What does Donald Trump and the USA have to gain by meddling here and potentially getting involved in a war that could very quickly get out of hand where a lot of hair would get mussed

My guess is he is trying to ramp up the pressure on Putin and equally demonstrate to both sides that he is no one's puppet. When Trump doesn't like a game he will attempt to change the rules to get his desired outcome. It's always been his way. Then his outcome appears as if out of nowhere and it looks like he gets "lucky".

It's 2025. Videos with sound. Like the one of Bob Kraft at the old Rub N Tug, which was paid for with police tax dollars, that a judge in Florida had destroyed because Bob's attorneys asked the judge to destroy it. The Sunshine Law only applies to the poors.

Someone I know well… I know they voted for Trump and yet now out of the blue they’ve lost their mind and is stuck in Trump hate because (get this): Trump (and ICE) are arresting and deporting “dreamers”… people who were brought here when they were 3 and it’s not their fault and they’ve lived here their whole life and now Trump is deporting them it’s cruel and wrong.
There’s no way to argue with this irrationality. So I went to the internet and asked if ICE is deporting dreamers and the internet and AI lies to me… feeds me one-off stories from fake news outfits like NBC where some college student is mistakenly caught up in a sweep.
But they’re not primary targets. But logic and reason don’t matter. It’s frustrating

87 Stock Market all time High, Inflation plunging, Border Secure, Iran finally neutered . But we online want to dwell on Epstein?
---------------------
My guess is that Trump & Co want to achieve moar meaningful things at present than dive into the sewer that is deep state. So they sidelined Epstein theater in favor of achieving lasting near term gains. These gains far outweigh any public reveals available with the Boner Club. It is also quite possible that not revealing the Boner Club defangs Boner Club.

Morning all. Trump does not want to be blamed for the Russian Flag flying in the middle of Kiev.
When the Russian flag is flying in what is left of Kiev, Trump will still be blamed, just like Trump is being blamed for rain in Texas.
Trump's advisors on Ukraine should be dismissed with great prejudice. I'm assuming that his intel is coming from the same Department of State that masterminded the Ukraine/Russia imbroglio by overthrowing the Ukraine government and installing this demon Z then pissing all over any agreements with Russia.
Rubio is just one guy against a Leviathan of America Hating Globalists who are pissed off about their skulldudgery slush fund being gutted.

Blondi and co won't release the list of Epstein clients because the Deep State has demanded that it not be release - likely because it will destroy the faith that people have in their government.
Well, good. People shouldn't trust the American government as constituted because it gives you Epstein Island, the Clot Shot, and if it can manage it WWIII in Ukraine.

‘Research’ On Abortion, Birth Control, And Breast Cancer Is Just As Corrupt As Trans Treatments

This was a good article. I knew there was supposedly a connection to lack of pregnancy, use of contraception to forgo pregnancy, or ending pregnancy via abortion to breast cancer, but this explains the whys. The development of the tissue/cells within the breast through full term pregnancy that become cancer-resistant forever. And that doctors all know this, but it's completely verboten to advise patients of this information. My, what the medical community has become.

I'm getting to that point. You have no accusers and no accused. With no accused, you have no crime.
Again, Maxwell peddled underaged girls to Epstein for what? Housekeeping duties on the island?
If you want to say for sex, there had better be johns named. Otherwise, no proof = no crime.

1. Upon what do you base the claim that Andrew was "one of his main clients"?
2. Upon what do you base the claim that Andrew ever had sex with someone underage?
3. I note that nothing you've said here invalidates the fact that the DOJ would be investigating a non-US citizen for acts, even if illegal, which didn't occur in the US.
Perhaps the people running around shrieking about the issue every day should take a couple days off, let their emotions settle, and look at the issue anew. Although, no doubt, there'd be something else that Bondi was/wasn't doing that you'd all bitch about constantly.

Under the deal, victims of Epstein who were affected by his sex trafficking during the time when he was a customer of Deutsche Bank, from 2013 through 2018, would receive at least $75,000 and up to $5 million depending on an evaluation of their claims.
Deutsche Bank spokesman Dylan Riddle would not comment on the deal, but noted that his bank has spent more than 4 billion euros [$4.34 billion] to strengthen internal financial controls.

Thanks, J.J. as always for your insights as well as the compilation of the links and time spent in keeping us informed. I find it depressing sometimes to read all the headlines as well as the links, so I'll just ask this? Is there one about the awful doctor who is now apologizing for her social media post about the Texas folks getting what they deserved? If not, here is a link from the "NY Post". This is why except for some church stuff I don't do FB etc. I can say enough stuff on here when I'm irritated. I don't need to broadcast my spur of the moment irritability or irrationality to the larger world. It didn't occur to her-as with the woman married or the girlfriend of the UU minister who said "Well, it was a racist Christian camp anyway"-That someone might object to their deranged rantings and they might get in trouble for it?!!

Thanks. I don't care that much either, but I do believe the theory by Mike Benz that Epstein was an asset who helped move money for the CIA, going back to Iran-Contra Affair, and during his 2008 prosectution the State Department leaned on DOJ to let him off easy. It'd be a huge scandal for the agency if it came out they shielded an underage sex trafficker, but beyond that I don't think there's any there there.

I assume Paxton was having an affair (though sometimes the FNM makes this stuff up), likely with the acceptance of his wife.
The reason this is coming up now though is clearly to derail his campaign.
And GOP voters have to group up and understand this stuff. You aren't voting for your minister. You are voting for the person that will represent your interests best in government

Who cares what Putin is worth? It wouldn't be our problem if we weren't determined to make it our problem because so many people are mentally stuck in 1989.

Ukraine is the proxy in this proxy war.
We’re kinda tied to them at the hip here.
This was W. & O’s doing, not Trump’s.
For some reason, our geniuses in DC thought it wise to take Georgia & Ukraine apjust to stick it to the Russians and hem them in with no buffer countries in between them and NATO.
The Russians, unsurprisingly, did not go along with the plan.
If it had been me in 2014, I’d have realized we’d reached the redline at that point and made a deal with Putin then, on much more favorable terms which could’ve put all this to bed.
But nope, they just had to keep poking the bear and here we are.
Pull out American all financial & military aid and let the EU take ownership of this thing - and then tell them flat out to proceed with caution because we aren’t coming to the rescue this time if it gets out of hand.
That’s about the only way this thing will end any time soon, because threats and sanctions aren’t scaring the Russkies one iota - they are used to it by now.

Good morning, friends! Paxton did have an affair, she isn’t making it up. It was part of his court hearing. I believe my lawyer’s advice was solid when he said “if it feels good, don’t do it” meaning don’t do crazy things, be the sane one, don’t send hateful messages, etc. This tweet may have fallen under this category. That said, Paxton behaved badly and there are consequences for behavior, right?

Lex Wesner signed over power of attorney to Epstein for his accounts that totaled over 1B dollars.
Epstein also cultivated numerous clients and contacts in the tech industry.
The tentacles of The Epstein Operation are far and wide and yet..... Case Closed.

Not really. There's a whole rigmarole to go through, basically the court advising that it's a terrible idea to represent oneself and that the defendant will be held to the same standards as a lawyer. The court typically appoints stand-by counsel that the defendant can consult on legal questions. But ai can't recall whether that's required or just customary.

If there are active investigations, is it common practice for DOJ to hold press conferences about them?
No but it is common to shitcan people who are not following instructions and who are actively working against you.

It is common practice to say, "we cannot comment on ongoing investigations" instead of crickets.
Posted by: rickb223 at July 11, 2025 08:49 AM (8v2yu)
=======
The thing is, I know that the DOJ keeps investigations secret until they're ready to bring charges.
That's common practice.
Does it mean that anything is happening in these instances? Not at all. It very well could be nothing.
But, it's obvious how we're operating with massive holes in information. There's not going to be any telling what's happening or not for a while.
I'm just not coming to any conclusions about anything. I'm just waiting for more information.

I agree. Paxton was/is probably a horrible husband but he’s been an outstanding AG and he’ll make a much better senator than Cornyn. I’ll still vote for him in the primary. As someone upthread said… he’s a mercenary who’s good at fighting….. The Donald has some marital escapades in his past. I’m not voting for a pastor

Blondi and co won't release the list of Epstein clients because the Deep State has demanded that it not be release - likely because it will destroy the faith that people have in their government.
Too late. I'm not one to go "Oh , W is in charge. I love my government. Ooh - Obama. States Rights and don't trust The Feds. Yay - Trump !!! Bless our boys in Federal Blue".
I don't trust them. Have not for decades.

You can say what you want about the economy and deportations, but I'm guessing that a lot of younger voters who thought Trump would end the foreign wars and expose the Epstein stuff are more than happy to shrug their shoulders during the mid-terms and ask, "Why bother?"
And they're not wrong.
All those podcasting bros that Trump smartly courted are all asking what the hell is going on. They hold sway. This has been a less than good last few weeks.

But our betters just couldn’t accept a country inclined to electing dictatorships, and the old guard at the Pentagon would never accept people thst they’d been trained to think of as our evil forever enemy their entire lives.
I get why it didn’t happen but can’t help but wonder what 2025 would like if we had.
One thing is for sure, this war wouldn’t be happening because if we had let Russia into NATO, Ukraine and the other former Soviet republics probably would’ve come in right along with them.

I mentioned yesterday not voting for Paxton because of integrity issues, none of which was related to his adultery (at least not initially). The timing is curious. Cornyn will make hay with this. Paxton may still win the primary.
Regarding politicians as snakes. Mrs. Paxton is a state senator. She won Ken’s state house seat when he won in the senate. Then she won his senate seat when he became AG. She has higher aspirations. Maybe doesn’t need Ken anymore. But she is a politician and a snake.

Lets just use the Butler assassination attempt as a teachable moment. There's a scathing report issued detailing lapses of protocol, deficiencies in training and other basic functions. Arguably the most powerful man in the world was, but for the grace of God, almost taken down by a kid with a pawn store rifle from less than 300 yards.
Yet all we can do is put some folks on unpaid leave and make recommendations that will ostensibly mitigate a future attempt. Seems like the President could light some folks up, demand answers and accountability in very short order or some folks could end up on the street. And by some folks, I mean entire departments.

Sometimes the only consequences are eternal, not temporal. As we mentioned yesterday, Paxton has the personal morality of an alley cat, but he always benefits from running against people who are far worse than he is. John Cornyn is unpopular because he’s completely forgotten where he came from from the moment he went to DC and has spent all his time there shitting on his own voters.
And as to the Democrats - did you see that the name most popular with Texas Dems right now is Jasmine Crockett? The one who is saying that the left “Never commits violence!”, only the right? While she calls for violence?
Paxton is wicked on a personal level, Cornyn is evil on an institutional level, Jasmine is evil on a satanic level.

He was also using the allure of sex to get clients for his investment biz. Then blackmailing them to give him money for said investment firm. An investment firm that was likely, as you say, a CIA front for funneling money "elsewhere" for "stuff."
No wonder nobody wants to discuss it.

I think it’s likely that truly exposing what went on would collapse US intelligence gathering worldwide, as well as collapse several friendly governments. And that would be why everyone who finds out what really went on just shuts up and walks away.

It's an emotional rollercoaster you should never ride. You have to recognize that it is a journey, accept each thing along the way without getting emotionally invested, stay focused on the end goal.

Epstein was CIA and likely working for other foreign intel organizations doing bad things sanctioned by governments. I'd love to know what he was doing all those years but I'm not surprised they won't tell me.

Look, we were paying out money to develop bioweapons with the cooperation of foreign governments -- actual enemies in the CCP's case. That is known, and they did not like that that became known. Tough shit, now you stand revealed as both stupid and evil and there's no hiding that.
Clean out the augean stables and do it now. Whatever strictures are stopping this are repellant and heads should roll. Lord knows that any one of our heads would if the powers that be had us dead to rights in activities even remotely similar to what ol' pal Jeffrey was doing.

>>I think it’s likely that truly exposing what went on would collapse US intelligence gathering worldwide
The operation is oriented around maintaining control of Western and Anglosphere countries and their populations, it's not an operation to control or mitigate the power of "enemies."
That's why exposing and ending this is crucial.
And that's why it's being kept hidden.

She's in prison for trafficking underage girls to Epstein. Not anyone else, Epstein. On top of everything else he did he was a world class pervert. That's likely why he was so useful to intel agencies.
Did they also traffic those girls to others? Of course. We are currently dealing with the consequences of an entire previous government that fostered sex trafficking for years right out in the open and almost nobody said dick.

Sure. But you know as well as I do that isn't happening and literally NEVER would. The hottest chick on earth might want to boink you, too. Similar chances.
Epstein ? Gotta say, in reality, I don't care anywhere near as much as the internet does. Should people suffer the consequences for breaking the law, especially if it involved sex with underaged girls ? Absolutely. Is there evidence that could be used to convince a jury ? Doubtful.
And I gotta agree with #283 above that its possible that enough people were involved that the most powerful government in the world couldn't withstand it all coming out.

Given the number of British officials whose names keep coming up, there’s no doubt that British Intelligence was involved as well. Probably all 5 Eyes were involved in it, and Epstein was just the front man for what they were doing.

I don't give a flying fuck if Epstein killed himself or not. I want the fucking list of perverts to be front and center on a website or blog. The names need to be released. Prince Andrew got his head chopped off so why have there not been any other names released. Pr. Andrew wasn't the only one boffing young girls. Inquiring minds want to know.

NASA’s DART asteroid redirection mission may have inadvertently made future asteroid deflections much more challenging after its test sent boulders hurtling through space on unexpected trajectories. In September 2022, the DART mission successfully altered the orbit of asteroid moon Dimorphos. Unfortunately, the smaller space rocks that were dislodged when the kinetic impactor struck the natural satellite achieved three times the momentum of the spacecraft that created them. The University of Maryland-led team (UMD) behind the new research paper on DART’s repercussions cautions that results demonstrate planetary defense may be considerably more complex than previously suspected.

Good morning, all, and thanks, J.J.
So much to ponder, none of it likeable, but then the weekend is almost here.
James Whitey Bulger v. Jeffrey Epstein could take up much of the time.
Prince Andrew was able attend his brother King Charles III's coronation ceremony on May 6, 2023, wearing his Order of the Garter robes, and it has just been reported the FBI has dropped its investigation into the prince's links with Jeffrey. (See NY Post, Entertainment, Prince Andrew free to travel abroad as FBI ends probe into royal’s Jeffrey Epstein links, By Nika Shakhnazarova, Published July 10, 2025)
Then there's, "President Trump's near 180 degree pivot on Ukraine is disappointing if not outright alarming in its potential implications." v. 27 ex-EU ambassadors: 'Suspend the Israel trade agreement' Jul 11, 2025, Euobserver. (How many ex-USAIDers are involved? Seems like they'd all be besties in the past.)
Also the gazillion tariff proposals, resultant whiplash, and related EU articles, i.e., DW News (A German Public Broadcast Service), 'Does the European Union need to call Trump's bluff?'
(Who the hell are friends of the US? They can probably be counted on a hand.)

And also from above: "According to the criminal complaint filed by the Department of Justice, pamphlets on insurrectionary anarchism and propaganda materials, including a “Resist Fascism” flag, were recovered by law enforcement."
What about 'Resist Fascism Flag(s)'?! I'm shocked to learn that manufacturing such flags, t-shirts, visor hats, etc. is, and has been, quite the American business! They're available through Etsy, Ebay, Amazon, many mainstream printing and flag shops, and more, and come in a variety of types, colors, expanded slogans & symbols, and so on!
(No, that's neither an Ad nor an endorsement on my part for yet another DeepState Op. All, imho, of course.)

Good weekend! 🤗
Prayers for ALL in need. 🙏🕯

Srebrenica falls to Bosnian Serb Army, July 11, 1995
The history of Yugoslavia and the UN's & Nato's involvement are difficult to study (for me) but continue to be relevant.
