The Big, Beautiful Distraction is Missing Trump is looking pretty damn weak.

"He’s been wildly pitching to his base like Dollar Store Don Draper on cocaine — anything to get them to stop their whining about the conspiracy blue balls they’re experiencing over his refusal to release the Epstein files."

We spend so much time worrying about the future or ruminating on the past, and rarely in the present moment. When this happens, we miss our appointment with life. Pause and return to your breathing and be in the here and now. It is all we truly have. May your day be peaceful, my friends. 😊

Virginia Giuffre, one of Jeffrey Epstein's most prominent abuse survivors, dies by suicide Other Epstein victims credited Giuffre with giving them the courage to speak out.

A reminder that after years of speaking out against Epstein and giving other survivors the courage to come forward, Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre died by suicide in April at the age of 41.

Let's not forget that there are real human tragedies behind everything we're discussing.

The current political landscape makes Watergate look like Romper Room.

3 Scenarios That Explain the Epstein Debacle All reflect poorly on the Department of Justice.

COLUMN: Why is the DOJ botching the Epstein saga?

“The possibilities range from bad to worse” — especially for what they suggest about the country’s legal leadership, writes former federal prosecutor Ankush Khardori.

Do you know who would know what is in the Epstein files? The lawyer who prosecuted the case.

Oh, wait.👀

Nope, doesn’t seem like they’re buying it.

The Queen of the Night (Epiphyllum oxypetalum) blooms once a year at night.

When does the “golden age” start?

Government can’t function without people working in it, folks.

We are paying dearly for the absence of civics education.

Maybe I’m weird, too. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Donald Trump now claims Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Joe Biden created the Epstein Files and says we should stop asking questions and just trust Pam Bondi. He calls the Epstein documents “Radical Left inspired” and says his DOJ should focus on other things.
