Waging war without congressional approval to distract from the Epstein emails was on my bingo card. Entirely expected.

Just throwing this out there for reasons

Megyn Kelly said she thinks β€œthere’s a difference between a 5 year old and a 15 year old” when it comes to sexual abuse. Megyn Kelly has a 14 year old daughter. Megyn Kelly is going to Hell.

This is good news. Tremane will not face execution for a crime he didn't commit.

Record Numbers of Younger Women Want to Leave the U.S. The percentage of younger women in the U.S. who express a desire to migrate permanently has surged in the past decade.

"In 2025, 40% of women aged 15 to 44 say they would move abroad permanently if they had the opportunity. The current figure is four times higher than the 10% who shared this desire in 2014, when it was generally in line with other age and gender groups."

Change the legal term from sex trafficking to rape trafficking, victims of trafficking cannot consent to sex while being trafficked. It is rape.

For years they droned on about β€œthe Deep State” - a powerful cabal that controlled everything.

Then they set their sights on β€œthe Epstein list” - a powerful cabal that preyed on children.

(Spoiler: it’s the same cabal)

Now they’re in power, guess who is protecting this cabal?

They are.

Odd.

The soft pedaling language being used to describe the men in the Epstein files is enraging.

They didn’t β€œhave sex with underage girls”.

They raped them.

Sex implies consent.

The survivors deserve better than this. Use the correct language. Say what these men did.

NOW: Voting is underway on the shutdown deal in the House. So far, dems Gluesenkamp Perez, Adam Gray, and Jared Golden have voted yes. So the dems couldn't get unanimity on this in the House, either.

I’m not even going to ask you to make it make sense. They literally moved the one person that could spill the beans on him to a prison country club and gave her a puppy.

Hey so β€œunderage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

Was the emergency meeting supposed to be a secret? Because the optics of having to have an emergency meeting about your long friendship with the sex trafficker are not great.
