Trump said release the Epstein files—now Congress agrees

By RMV Editorial Board Congress finally did what Washington avoided for years. The House went 423 to 1 and the Senate—unanimously. Washington doesn’t move like that unless people feel something shifting under their feet. Whatever held this shut is starting to give way. For years Democratic leaders and their media allies pushed the idea that Jeffrey Epstein was a Trump problem. If Epstein’s name came up, Trump’s name came next. It was a neat little narrative that kept uncomfortable questions away from Democrats.  Then Congress began releasing documents, and the story stopped cooperating. The clearest political fingerprints on the Epstein files now belong to Democrats, not Trump. The evidence shows Epstein’s network cultivating political allies, guiding congressional questio...

Why birthrates might quietly reshape America’s political future

By Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, American Thinker Politics may be downstream from culture, but culture is downstream from cribs.  In the U.S. and across the West, who’s having children today will shape who’s running the country tomorrow. In the U.S. and other Western democracies, shifts in fertility, family structure, migration, and well-being are quietly redrawing the political map. Start with the simplest but most potent fact: elections are not won by ideas alone, but by people. This means new people - babies born, children raised, immigrants integrated, voters replaced. As conservative commentator Grant Mercer recently put it in his article “Womb Wars: The Future Belongs to Conservatives,” the left may be fighting for ideas, but if it fails to reproduce the ...

Illegal migrant accused of raping child repeatedly had Obama-era entry, Biden-era protections

By James Lynch | National Review Two illegal immigrants were arrested last week after being accused of repeatedly raping an unaccompanied migrant child who was illegally brought to the U.S. during the Obama administration. Felix Bustillo Diaz, 49, an illegal immigrant from Honduras, and Jose Gerber-Rivera, a 45-year-old Salvadoran illegal alien, are suspected of repeatedly raping Bustillo’s 12-year-old grand niece. The girl was smuggled into the U.S. by her Honduran mother in June 2014, according to federal authorities. The child’s mother was herself an unaccompanied minor at the time and brought the girl, then an infant, with her. The child was then left alone with Bustillo, a convicted criminal who ended up being her sponsor after he claimed to be her great uncle, marking a s...

Newly Found Notes Undercut Comey as DOJ Ties Clinton Plan Intel to Obstruction

By Jerry Dunleavy | Just the News Comey's allegedly false denial that he did not remember being briefed about the Clinton Plan intelligence will still be central to the DOJ's prosecution. The Justice Department failed to secure an indictment against ex-FBI Director James Comey charging him with lying when he claimed that he did not recall a CIA referral memo on Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign plan to tie Donald Trump to Russia. But the DOJ is now revealing the false-statements allegation will still be used to support its successful indictment charging Comey with obstructing Congress. The DOJ’s two-count indictment, approved by a federal grand jury in September, stemmed from allegations that Comey misled the Senate during his testimony in late September 2020, when he reitera...

EPA Moves To Clarify Water Rules After Years Of Costly Confusion and Federal Overreach

By: Beth Brelje | The Federalist The soon-to-be-replaced significant nexus rule meant a ditch in a rainstorm or pooling water that occurs only in the rainy season could be grounds for the federal government preventing land use. The Trump administration is about to curb an overzealous Obama-era environmental regulation by revising the definition of “Waters of the United States” (WOTUS) under the Clean Water Act. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin and Adam Telle, assistant secretary of the Army for Civil Works, introduced a proposed WOTUS rule change Monday that is meant to establish a clear, durable definition of the rule that won’t be changed every time a new administration comes in. There will be 45 days of public comment on the propos...

Lindsey Graham, the chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, tells Just the News he is planning to introduce legislation to allow any Americans, not just senators, whose privacy was violated by ex-Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith’s sweeping investigation into conservatives to sue the government for damages.During an interview on the John Solomon Reports podcast, the South Carolina Republican explained why senators slipped into last week’s spending bill that reopened the federal government a provision allowing eight senators whose phone records were subpoenaed by Smith to sue for damages. He also pushed back again...

Epstein Emails Reveal Longstanding Envy of Trump’s Success

By Byron York | Commentary, Washington Examiner JEFFREY EPSTEIN’S RESENTMENT TOWARD DONALD TRUMP. There’s no doubt Jeffrey Epstein thought he was a very, very smart guy. “He always thought he was the smartest person in the room,” said one associate. Another said Epstein “thought he was smarter than the next guy.” When in 2008 Epstein pleaded guilty to procurement of a minor for prostitution, his defense asked for leniency based on his “unique intellect.” Someone with such high self-regard can be deeply disturbed if a friend or associate, or a former friend or associate, achieves more, makes more money, and rises higher up society’s ladder than the person who feels he is the smartest guy in the room. Reading through Epstein’s emails released by Republicans on the H...

Full Steam Ahead on the America First Agenda

By Heidi Ganahl | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice A lot of good has already happened in Trump’s first year back. Donald Trump’s first year in the White House has delivered more progress than most presidents manage in an entire term. The border is tightening. Energy is coming back to life. Inflation is easing. America feels steady again. You can see it in people’s faces — a sense of relief, a little pride, a little hope after years of turbulence. But anyone who’s ever built anything knows early wins don’t carry you forever. Momentum is a start, not a finish. We’ve moved things forward, but keeping that ground and pushing it further is the real test. This is where you focus up and just do the work. The America First agenda works — and the next chapter must be about execution, ac...

Democrats Claim Trump-Epstein Proof Then Delete Post After It Collapses

By C. Douglas Golden | Commentary, The Western Journal The Democratic Party is staking a lot on the rather thin gruel in the Jeffrey Epstein emails they’ve released. So much so, in fact, that they’re not apt to check whether the claims of a serial fabulist and convicted sex offender are verifiable. Spoiler alert: They are, and not in the way they had hoped. In case you haven’t been keeping up with the drama: On Wednesday, Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released three of Epstein’s emails which mentioned President Donald Trump in some vague way. They redacted the name of one of his victims, who is said to be Virginia Giuffre; now deceased, the woman at the center of the scandal involving the former Prince Andrew was formerly employed at Mar-a-Lago ...

State Department Declares Four Foreign Antifa Networks Terrorist Organisations

By Andy Ngo | The Post Millennial From German hammer-beating mobs to Greek bombings and shootings—how four violent Antifa networks landed on the U.S.’s Foreign Terrorist Organization list. On Thursday, the U.S. State Department announced that four international Antifa groups—all primarily based in Europe—have been officially designated as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs). It marks the first time in U.S. history that the government has applied this powerful legal designation to any Antifa-aligned network. “Today, building on @POTUS’s historic commitment to uproot Antifa’s campaign of political violence, the Department of State is designating four Antifa groups as Foreign Terrorist Organizations and Specially Designated Global Terrorists,” Secretary Marco Rubio ...
