Good morning. Trump is protecting Epstein files. The confederacy lost and they were traitors, mRNA vaccines are the future, cops shouldn’t wear masks, Trump cut taxes for the rich and ripped benefits from the poor. Have a weekend

The next time you hear conservatives use any of the following terms, ask for a definition.  "Woke" "DEI" "Critical race theory" "Socialism"  They won't have any. They just want to stoke culture wars to divert attention from economic looting and oligarchy.

2 points here: 1) There's no statute of limitations in New York for Ghislaine Maxwell's crimes (maybe also options in New Mexico and Florida). A pardon can't stop state prosecutions. 2) We just got another reason to release the Epstein files: so the public can test Maxwell's truthfulness.

It's unquestioned that Putin wanted to hurt Hillary Clinton. In a race of two people, that means he wanted to help Trump. If there was any question about it, Putin said exactly that in 2018 in Helsinki. Unlikely to be charges because DOJ can't get a conviction. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/25/u...
