Epstein emails contradict the felon-in-chief.
Former President Bill Clinton has long been one of the high-profile names fueling curiosity about Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal case files.
“The American people want to know what went on at Epstein island … we know that Bill Clinton went there many times,” House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Kentucky, told Newsmax in August. Epstein owned a small private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands, where sex trafficking of young girls allegedly occurred. “We just want to ask him what he saw when he was there and who all was involved.”
President Donald Trump also implied that Clinton went to the island in a Nov. 14 Truth Social post, saying Larry Summers, Reid Hoffman, J.P. Morgan, Chase and Clinton, “spent large portions of their life with Epstein, and on his ‘Island.’” He also said he would ask the Department of Justice to investigate the Democrats linked to the late financier and sex offender.
But Epstein said in an email, part of thousands of documents released by the Committee on Nov. 12, that Clinton never went to the island.
“Clinton was NEVER EVER there, never,” Epstein wrote.
The felon is back to touting his obviously bad health condition, lying about it of course.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -President Donald Trump said on Friday he received a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exam as part of his recent physical, calling the scan “very standard.”
I’ve had plenty of physicals. Not a one of them included an MRI. I’m going to have to rate this lie as one orange flame pants on fire.
Trump told reporters he got the MRI “because it’s part of my physical. Getting an MRI is very standard. What, you think I shouldn’t have it? Other people get it … I had an MRI. The doctor said it was the best result he has ever seen as a doctor.”
I doubt the doctor said any such thing. Yes, other people get it, but not as part of a standard physical. And “best result”? What is that nonsense? An MRI is done for a specific purpose, looking for something. There is no “best result”; it’s either finding what the doctors suspect or it’s not finding it.
So, this lie is two orange flame pants on fire.
And what could they have expected anyway?
Medical experts note that MRIs are not typically part of a routine physical. Doctors usually prescribe them to get detailed images of the spine, heart and vascular system, brain, knees, or other parts of the body.
Got it. They were searching for a brain.
Christian Sharia fanboy Vance admires the felon’s bigotry to…(checks notes)…a head of state.
Vice President JD Vance was asked by Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. who he thought was the biggest clown — or more specifically, the funniest member — of President Donald Trump’s cabinet during a live “Make America Healthy Again” on Wednesday.
Vance responded by saying he felt Secretary of State Marco Rubio was the “funniest outside of the president,” before moving on to give an example of Trump’s “amazing comedic timing.”
Vance recalled a shockingly bigoted question Trump asked Al-Qaeda jihadist-turned-Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa after spritzing him Trump-branded cologne during a meeting in the Oval Office Monday.
In a clip that’s gone viral on social media, Trump can be seen asking al-Sharaa “how many wives” he has. When al-Sharaa responded by saying, “One,” Trump quipped: “With you guys, I never know.”

“And it’s just like, ‘Oh, what an amazing question,’” Vance said of Trump’s offensive question. “Amazing comedic timing! There are layers to it, there’s like a meta-humor to it.”
I’m now wondering if the felon is going to–or even has actually done so–ask the congressional delegation from Utah how many wives they have. So sharp! So witty! So fucking ignorant.
The revenge tour has managed to do something with a modicum of efficiency.
One federal employee says she is being fired after she gave an interview to MSNBC about her and her coworkers’ experiences during the government shutdown and how the shutdown would negatively impact SNAP benefits.
Department of Agriculture employee Ellen Mei first spoke with MSNBC on Oct. 2, at the start of the shutdown. At the time, host Chris Jansing clarified that her guest was speaking for herself and not “representing [her] employer.”
Mei, who works as a program specialist with SNAP benefits, told Jansing during an approximately four-minute long interview that she and her co-workers were feeling “anxious because we’re hearing about the risk potentials and office closures that are looming over USDA as this shutdown kind of drags on.”
She also said at the time that SNAP benefits would likely be issued for the month of October, but warned, “things might get a little dicey if this drags on into November.”
Mei now claims she is facing retaliation from the USDA for participating in the interview. She told MSNBC in a follow-up interview on Thursday, Nov. 13, that just one day after she gave her initial Oct. 2 interview, the agency told her they wanted to fire her for appearing on the network.
The Washington Post obtained a copy of the correspondence between Mei and an official in the USDA human resources department, who reportedly informed her that she would be terminated 30 days after the shutdown ended. Mei was also accused of speaking about USDA programs and funding “without prior approval,” the outlet reported.
Federal judge takes the felon and his flacks to task for violating the constitution in his war on education.
The Trump administration cannot fine the University of California or summarily cut the school system’s federal funding over claims it allows antisemitism or other forms of discrimination, a federal judge ruled late Friday in a sharply worded decision.
U.S. District Judge Rita Lin in San Francisco issued a preliminary injunction barring the administration from cancelling funding to UC based on alleged discrimination without giving notice to affected faculty and conducting a hearing, among other requirements.
The administration over the summer demanded the University of California, Los Angeles pay $1.2 billion to restore frozen research funding and ensure eligibility for future funding after accusing the school of allowing antisemitism on campus. UCLA was the first public university to be targeted by the administration over allegations of civil rights violations.
It has also frozen or paused federal funding over similar claims against private colleges, including Columbia University.
In her ruling, Lin said labor unions and other groups representing UC faculty, students and employees had provided “overwhelming evidence” that the Trump administration was “engaged in a concerted campaign to purge ‘woke,’ ‘left,’ and ‘socialist’ viewpoints from our country’s leading universities."
“Agency officials, as well as the President and Vice President, have repeatedly and publicly announced a playbook of initiating civil rights investigations of preeminent universities to justify cutting off federal funding, with the goal of bringing universities to their knees and forcing them to change their ideological tune,” Lin wrote.
She added, “It is undisputed that this precise playbook is now being executed at the University of California.”
At UC, which is facing a series of civil rights probes, she found the administration had engaged in “coercive and retaliatory conduct in violation of the First Amendment and Tenth Amendment.”
I’m wondering what kind of racist nonsese the felon will blather in response.
All SNAP recipients must reapply to get benefits.
Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins on Thursday said the Trump administration is planning to have all Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP) beneficiaries reapply for the program due to alleged fraud.
The secretary said after receiving data on SNAP recipients from 29 red states that “186,000 deceased men and women and children in this country are receiving a check.”
“Can you imagine when we get our hands on the blue state data what we’re going to find?” she asked during a Thursday appearance on Newsmax’s “Rob Schmitt Tonight.”
“It’s going to give us a platform and a trajectory to fundamentally rebuild this program, have everyone reapply for their benefit, make sure that everyone that’s taking a taxpayer-funded benefit through SNAP or food stamps, that they literally are vulnerable, and they can’t survive without it,” she added.
Did I read that correctly? The data is from, and I quote, “29 red states”. Maybe this tidbit should go in the schadenfreude thread.
The guy who’s literally broken every commandment in the Decalogue is trying to quote the Bible.
Donald Trump’s remarks on the importance of caring for the most vulnerable children drew major eye rolls and accusations of deep hypocrisy on Thursday.
The president, speaking at a White House event launching first lady Melania Trump’s “Fostering the Future” initiative, which seeks to expand opportunities for youngsters in foster care, said:
“The Bible tells us that one of the measures of any society is how it cares for vulnerable children and orphans. So important, and it is so big in the Bible. So, as we make America great again, we’re going to protect American children in foster care and we’re going to ensure that they will never, ever be forgotten.”
Some people on social media suggested Trump was misquoting the Bible with his political spin on the long-standing idea of helping those most in need.
Many, though, highlighted how the president’s rhetoric was in stark contrast to his record, particularly his administration’s attempt to block Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program payments to low-income families during the recently ended government shutdown.
“You literally fought in court to strip families of food assistance,” California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) pointed out on X, formerly Twitter.
The cruelty is the point and the hypocrisy is the character trait.
