The man who called troops suckers and losers is sending 10k more troops to the Middle East after telling us he won the same war dozens of times. Trump told us we needed to vote for him because he’s anti-war and the “president of peace.” Funny how that worked out, MAGA.

What the actual fuck
People involved include:

Thomas K. Hubbard, President and Executive Director 
Ryan Conrad, Director
Michael Shimkin, former vice chair of National Association for Rational Sexual Offense Laws
Shawn Rolfe, sex offender registry reform advocate
former directors include:
Harris Mirkin
Gert Hekma
Beert Verstraete
Thomas Waugh
James Dubro
In October 2025, “Isaac Q” of the William A. Percy Foundation announced funding for “The Autogynephilia Project,” writing in part:When contacted by Chron, Hubbard said the Epstein foundation had a "long record of supporting various academic interests."

"I was not then and am not now aware of any evidence that Jeffrey Epstein was a 'pedophile' in the technical sense; his sexual preference appears to have been for young women aged 16-22, which would at most reflect partial ephebophilia," Hubbard told Chron in an emailed statement. "Although most of the women who were involved with him at that age retrospectively regret it, I am unaware of any evidence that the contacts were non-consensual at the time."

"Some were self-conscious sex workers who recruited others into his orbit and are now making cynical claims of victimization to cash in on his estate and business partners, as reported by Michael Tracey and other credible journalists," Hubbard added. "Like over 1,000,000 Americans, he did have a conviction for a sex-related offense, but from what I could see in 2015, it was for something that would not even have been illegal in most European countries and resulted in a very short sentence."
