If Prince Andrew used Epstein’s child sex trafficking ring, he should go to jail.

If Bill Clinton used Epstein’s child sex trafficking ring, he should go to jail.

If Donald Trump used Epstein’s child sex trafficking ring, he should go to jail.

That wasn’t so difficult, was it?

If he were right, the import price index (which measures pre-tariff prices) would have fallen by enough to offset the sharp tariff hike. It didn't.

Happy birthday!

I realize there's a lot going on with the shutdown, BUT DONALD TRUMP'S FORMER SPIRITUAL ADVISOR JUST PLED GUILTY TO SEXUALLY ABUSING A 12-YEAR-OLD GIRL.

Seems like something the media might want to ask the president about—if he ever stops hiding.

Where are the people who were so outraged that Biden asked google to pull misinfo at Covid, now that Trump has made Apple pull the ice tracker app

Trump promised an infrastructure bill for 4 years in his first term.

Said it was coming in 2 weeks many times.

Never delivered one.

Democrats then delivered critically needed funding for crumbling infrastructure.

Now Russ Vought is taking that away.

But only in blue states.

Wonder if they’ll fire that stat releaser as well…

They found 38 unmarked graves of Indigenous children at Immaculate Conception Mission in South Dakota and it didn't make the news outside of Indian Country.

The media have to start framing this accurately. The president is now functioning as a tyrant. The story is whether the other two branches of government will do anything to stop him.

This Guardian quote from an anonymous person who said he knew Robinson in high school years ago, but hasn’t spoke to him in several years, who said he was supposedly a leftist, has been retracted. This single anonymous quote has been posted by thousands of right-wing accounts.

We had the WSJ feed the toxic narrative with false trans reporting, now the Guardian puts out a reckless quote that was not sufficiently fact-checked. Media failing us yet again and making things worse.

It’s Time for Americans to Start Talking About “Soft Secession” Blue states are finally learning what red states have known all along: you don’t need federal permission to govern.

If I had to guess, Kash Patel had the FBI raid John Bolton this morning because today’s the extended deadline to turn over the Epstein files to House Oversight. My bet? They either blow it off or hand in some heavily redacted bullshit that hides Trump’s name. Always a distraction.

Here is how the media should be reporting this morning's news.

As part of a growing pattern of political retribution, Donald Trump's FBI has raided the home of a prominent administration critic. In this instance it happens to be John Bolton. The pretense is largely irrelevant.

Aaron Rupar O @atrupar.com Trump: "Vladimir Putin said something- one of the most interesting things. He said 'your election was rigged because you have mail in voting. It's impossible to have mail in voting & have honest elections.' He said that to me because we talked about 2020. He said, 'you won that election by so much'" FOX NEWS channel EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP FOLLOWING HIS MEETING WITH PUTIN BREAKING NEWS August 15, 2025 at 9:28 PM

Donald J. Trump K @realDonald Trump I am going to lead a movement to get rid of MAIL-IN BALLOTS, and also, while we're at it, Highly "Inaccurate," Very Expensive, and Seriously Controversial VOTING MACHINES, which cost Ten Times more than accurate and sophisticated Watermark Paper, which is faster, and leaves NO DOUBT, at the end of the evening, as to who WON, and who LOST, the Election. We are now the only Country in the World that uses Mail-In Voting. All others gave it up because of the MASSIVE VOTER FRAUD ENCOUNTERED. WE WILL BEGIN THIS EFFORT, WHICH WILL BE STRONGLY OPPOSED BY THE DEMOCRATS BECAUSE THEY CHEAT AT LEVELS NEVER SEEN BEFORE, by signing an EXECUTIVE ORDER to help bring HONESTY to the 2026 Midterm Elections. Remember, the States are merely an "agent" for the Federal Government in counting and tabulating the votes. They must do what the Federal Government, as represented by the President of the United States, tells them, FOR THE GOOD OF OUR COUNTRY, to do. With their HORRIBLE Radical Left policies, like Open Borders, Men Playing in Women's Sports, Transgender and "WOKE" for everyone, and so much more, Democrats are virtually Unelectable without using this completely disproven Mail-In SCAM. ELECTIONS CAN NEVER BE HONEST WITH MAIL IN BALLOTS/VOTING, and everybody, IN PARTICULAR THE DEMOCRATS, KNOWS THIS. I, AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, WILL FIGHT LIKE HELL TO BRING HONESTY AND INTEGRITY BACK TO OUR ELECTIONS. THE MAIL-IN BALLOT HOAX, USING VOTING MACHINES THAT ARE A COMPLETE AND TOTAL DISASTER, MUST END, NOW!!! REMEMBER, WITHOUT FAIR AND HONEST ELECTIONS, AND STRONG AND POWERFUL BORDERS, YOU DON'T HAVE EVEN A SEMBLANCE OF A COUNTRY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!!! DONALD J.

npr MEDIA Newsmax pays $67 million to settle defamation case linked to 2020 election coverage UPDATED AUGUST 18, 2025 • 11:52 AM ET By Maddy Lauria

Friday: Trump says Putin claims voting by mail cannot be fair and it's how the 2020 was purportedly "rigged" against him

Today: Trump announces executive order to ban mail voting and also voting machines

Also today: Newsmax pays Dominion $67 million to avoid trial for lying about voting machines

It’s really wild that Fox is calling Newsom’s tweets immature and unbecoming of a leader when he’s literally just mocking the way Trump tweets. 🤣🤣🤣

Looks like it would pair perfectly with rye toast and a Denver Omelette…

A cartoon drawn by Bruce MacKinnon of the Chronicle Herald in Halifax. Originally drawn some years ago, Bruce couldn’t find a newspaper willing to print it. It depicts Trump in a suit taking a piss towards a fan with a Canadian maple leaf on it. The fan blows the piss back into his fat face. He’s drenched in his own piss. The sign above him reads: HOW TARIFFS WORK.

NEW: Spain cancels plans to buy US-made F-35 fighters, a day after India paused all US military orders.

They join Canada, Denmark, Portugal, Switzerland & Germany in shunning US defense deals.

Swiss leader, Balthasar Glättli: “Those who hurl rocks at us in trade shouldn’t expect gifts in return.”

It says everything that Republicans are working harder to arrest Texas Democrats than anyone on the Epstein list.

The Oversight Committee subpoenaed the DOJ for the Epstein files. They now have 2 weeks to release the files to the committee.

It’s time to find out who’s been protected, who thought they were above the law, and who’s been hiding behind power.

BREAKING:

Two Epstein victims write letters slamming the Trump DOJ and FBI for its handling of the Epstein case.

"I am not some pawn in your political warfare. ... Why not be completely transparent? Show us all the files with only the necessary redactions! Be done with it and allow me/us to heal."

andrew chen of 3sixteen explaining why you may not feel the tariffs yet

Which is why Biden released the files. Wait a sec. He didn’t release them? So why’d he tamper with them to incriminate Trump? Very weird strategy by Biden, if you ask me.

The trump plan is obviously to attempt to rehabilitate a pedophile in hopes no one learns he likely participated himself. It’s disgusting and so horrible for the actual victims.

Trump was impeached, twice.

Considering posting this every day until the Smithsonian corrects its exhibit. Feel free to join me.

A Timeline of Donald Trump's Creepiness While He Owned Miss Universe From walking into a teen dressing room to joking about his obligation to sleep with contestants, Donald Trump is a storied pageant creep.
