Let's assume it's true that Epstein was running a blackmail ring using underage girls to lure in rich and powerful men and use pedophilia tapes for blackmail.  Let's also assume the CIA and Mossad were working and protecting this ring for their own purposes.

What do we do about it now?  The last known victim of this atrocity recently killed herself --- 25 years after becoming involved with the Epstein ring, and 25 years ago Epstein's hell had already been active for years.

What are the calls for action trying to accomplish?  Realistically:  No one's going to indict the CIA or Mossad. The ringleader and appointed mastermind of the ring is dead and his right hand is in prison.  So, do you prosecute this one pedophile at a time?  Charges would be over 25 years old.  Evidence has been tampered with by the Obama and Biden administrations. Jurisdiction would be an issue with most acts occurring outside the US, both witnesses and victims would be hostile and uncooperative.

How much time, energy, focus and oxygen do we allow to be sucked out of the work on fixing immigration, the economy, trade, education, wokeism, global unrest and upcoming political races -- in exchange for nothing more than salacious headlines?

I must agree. The only issue I have is the denial of a list. Of course there is. It makes it look like a coverup. Truthfully, a lot of his associates are just that. And not perverts.

Who really would actually spend money on an autobiography from that dimwit Jackson? Pretty much no one, I suspect.

... The financial disclosure forms for eight of the nine justices became available at noon EDT on Tuesday. The forms were due on May 15, but federal judges and justices can receive extensions of up to 90 days to submit their forms. Forms for Justice Samuel Alito, who received an extension last year, are not yet available online.

The roughly $2 million that Jackson received in “book advance(s)” from Penguin Random House was by far the largest sum reported by any of the justices on Tuesday. But two others reported sizable sums: Justice Neil Gorsuch received $250,000 from HarperCollins, which published Over Ruled, his 2024 book with his former clerk, Janie Nitze, and Justice Sonia Sotomayor reported nearly $134,000 in book royalties and an advance from Penguin Random House.

Four of the justices spent time in the classroom during 2024. Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh served as adjunct professors at Notre Dame’s law school (where Barrett taught for more than 15 years before becoming a federal judge), earning $31,815 each. Gorsuch served as an adjunct professor at George Mason University, earning $30,379.91 for an approximately two-week teaching stint in Porto, Portugal. And Chief Justice John Roberts taught a nearly two-week class on the Supreme Court in Galway, Ireland, for New England Law School.  ...

Watching the presser, I must say I was a little concerned about DJT. In the beginning his color wasn't good and he didn't speak like he usually does. It must have been the heat and humidity. He sounded better later and didn't look so pale.

Oh, look ⬆️⬆️. Epstein's gonna stop Trump's administration and momentum in their tracks --- and democrats didn't have to say a word.

Praise God!

That's less than one-half of one percent of our current deficit.  Yet $20 billion to USAID is not even on the table.

They must figure we will vote for them no matter what.

I think the next step is impoundment.

I don't see MAGA showing up the way they did for Pres. Trump when they can't cut bloated expenses.
