Trump's Second Term

So, teenagers who were abused on Epstein's island had previously been teenagers who were employed in Trump's Florida spa. Trump's teens were poached and became Epstein's teens.

But it's fine because Trump denies ever going to Epstein's island, so he would not have met the teens there. He would only have met them before that. When they worked for him. In his spa.

It's fine. It's probably fine.

Why do you need a rebate if the other country pays the tariffs?

@NBCNews
Republican Sen. Josh Hawley introduces legislation to provide tariff rebate checks of at least $600 per adult and child to American families.

You have to wonder if he actually expects this to pass, or whether it is just a stunt to help his re-election prospects. (Propose something to "Help" his constituents even though he knows it will get rejected by many/most other republicans.)

"Forget about the fact I supported a bill that took away your medicare, vote for me because I tried to get you a tariff rebate. It was the other guys that blocked it.".

‘He wrote five songs about washing dishes!’ The lost Woody Guthrie gems rescued by AI

He sang about love, injustice, Einstein – and his landlord Fred Trump, father of Donald, ending up in hell. As a trove of Guthrie tracks resurfaces, his daughter Nora remembers the penner of ‘hard-hitting songs for hard-hit people’
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com
Guthrie wrote Old Man Trump, also known as Beach Haven Race Hate, about their landlord, Fred Trump – father of Donald – and his segregative housing policies. Woody at Home premieres another song about him, Backdoor Bum and the Big Landlord. “It’s really the story of how the guy who has everything gives nothing and the guy who has nothing gives everything,” says Nora. “My favourite bit is when the landlord gets to heaven laden with gold. They send him to hell and he goes, ‘Let me see your manager. I’m gonna buy this place and kick you out.’ The arrogance and entitlement are astonishing, but it clearly defines someone we all know. We lived in Trump buildings. We know who they are.”

Seven new Epstein jail video issues under scrutiny

The Department of Justice released surveillance footage that was meant to prove that Epstein died by suicide behind bars.

There are several inconsistencies and contradictions between the account provided by officials about the night Jeffrey Epstein died in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan and the surveillance video footage released earlier this month, according to an investigation by CBS News.

Here are the inconsistencies:

Inconsistencies Between Official Claims and Video Evidence​

The Department of Justice and the FBI said in a memo earlier this month that "anyone entering or attempting to enter the tier where Epstein's cell was located from the SHU (Special Housing Unit) common area would have been captured by this footage."

However, Epstein's cell was accessible via a staircase from the SHU's common area that is almost entirely out of view from the camera. The camera angle captured by the surveillance footage also does not show the entrance to Epstein's cell or the main SHU entrance.

CBS News reported that Epstein is seen walking toward the staircase, but not ascending it, meaning individuals could have entered the area or accessed the stairs without being recorded.

Interpretation of the 'Orange Shape'​

The 2023 report on Epstein, released by the Department of Justice's Office of Inspector General, identified an "orange shape" moving up the stairs leading to Epstein's tier as a corrections officer carrying linen or inmate clothing.

But Conor McCourt, a retired New York City Police Department sergeant and forensic video expert, told CBS News that the shape is more likely to be someone in an orange prison jumpsuit.

Video Format and Editing Discrepancies​

Federal officials described the video as "raw footage." However, experts pointed to the presence of a cursor and onscreen menu in the footage as a sign that it is a screen recording rather than an original export from a DVR system.

Analysis of metadata showed the footage was created on May 23, 2025, CBS News reported. Two experts told CBS News that the footage was unlikely to be an export of the raw footage, but appears to be two separate video segments that were stitched together.

'Missing Minute'​

Attorney General Pam Bondi said during a July 8 Cabinet meeting that the missing minute just before midnight in the video was due to a nightly reset of the outdated security system.

However, CBS News, citing a high-level government source, said the FBI, the Bureau of Prisons and the inspector general's office have unedited copies of the video that do not have a missing minute.

Presence of an Unidentified Individual​

The inspector general's report listed only two staff members entering the SHU after midnight: a corrections officer identified only as "CO 3" and the Morning Watch Operations Lieutenant. But according to CBS News, a third unidentified individual passes through the unit at around 12:05 a.m.

Mismatch Between Video and Staff Statements​

The inspector general's report said a corrections officer, Tova Noel, said she left Epstein alone in the shower area on August 9, 2019, where he made an unmonitored phone call. She went to use the bathroom, the report said, and upon her return, she found that Epstein had been escorted back to his cell.

But the video shows what appears to be Noel remaining in the SHU and escorting Epstein to the staircase leading to his cell. The report seems to conflate Noel's actions with those of another female staff member, who is seen on the footage exiting the unit just before Epstein is escorted back to his cell, according to CBS News.

Contradiction About Access Claims​

The inspector general's report said that in the SHU, access to each entrance of each tier was through a single locked door at the top or bottom of the staircase leading to the tier, and that keys to open the doors were available to a limited number of corrections officers while on duty.

Noel told investigators that only she and Material Handler Michael Thomas possessed the physical key to a door that required it. However, the video shows several people entering and exiting while neither is seen near the door, CBS News reported.

While none of this proves that Epstein was murdered, it certainly brings into question the thoroughness and accuracy of the FBI investigation.

Oh no, wait, the DOJ says it doesn't:

The DOJ and FBI, in the July 7 memo: "The conclusion that Epstein died by suicide is further supported by video footage from the common area of the Special Housing Unit (SHU) where Epstein was housed at the time of his death. As DOJ's Inspector General explained in 2023, anyone entering or attempting to enter the tier where Epstein's cell was located from the SHU common area would have been captured by this footage.

"The FBI's independent review of this footage confirmed that from the time Epstein was locked in his cell at around 10:40 pm on August 9, 2019, until around 6:30 am the next morning, nobody entered any of the tiers in the SHU."

The DOJ memo said that "no further disclosure" of Epstein records is "appropriate or warranted."

Well, I guess that settles that! Now we can end all the questions about the non-existent Epstein Files and get back to what's important: Locking up Barack, Hillary and Joe!

I wondered for a second about the identity of "the orange shape" as that description perfectly fits only one villain I'm aware of...but then it said "moving up stairs" and I knew it had to be a mistake.

Josh Hawley proposes $600 rebate checks — but not for ‘Biden voters’

U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) says the legislation he is filing to send $600 tariff rebate checks to Americans are not for “Biden voters,” but for “Trump blue-collar voters.”

“Well, you wouldn’t give it to everybody, you’d give it to the working people,” Senator Hawley told far-right podcaster Steve Bannon on Tuesday (video below). “You’d give it to our people.”

“I mean, you know, the rich people don’t need it, and but what I mean by that is all those Democrat donors of Wall Street, all these hedge fund guys who all hate the tariffs, by the way.”

“Biden has crushed these people,” Hawley alleged. “What a legacy for Donald Trump to say, ‘I’m gonna take a portion of this massive money’ that he’s raising on these tariffs, and return it to the people who run this country and are gonna build our future.”
