DISGUSTING!

Had Trump, been POTUS when my father and mother applied for their citizenship, they would have been stopped by his administration because they were immigrants from Sicily. People from Sicily and other southern Italian regions were perceived as an "undesirable" population.

"Italians encountered widespread discrimination rooted in nativist prejudices, racial stereotypes, and economic anxieties. Perceived as culturally and racially inferior, Italian immigrants faced exclusion, violence, and systemic marginalization. 

Southern Italians looked unlike any other European group to arrive to the Americas before: Dutch, English, French, German, Irish, and so on. All Norther European. However, Mediterranean Italians are generally darker, and easier to stand out in a crowd—so they were easy targets to begin with.

Sensationalized media coverage, including newspaper illustrations, reinforced the association of Italians with organized crime, violence, and laziness. These stereotypes ignored the diversity of the immigrant population, 99% of whom were laborers seeking honest work."

The Trump administration is engaging in the same type of discrimination against an entire population because of a few "bad apples" and Trump's and his administration's racism.

Here is a partial list of Italians Trump's goons would have kept from achieving their American citizenship had he been POTUS when southern Italians and Italians from other regions were considered undesirable immigrants.

Frank Sinatra's parents

Enrico Fermi

Fiorello LaGuardia's father

Dean Martin's father

Joe Dimaggio's parents

Joe Montana's parents

Lee Iacocca's parents

Anthony Fauci's parents

Jill Biden's grandparents

My father came to America through Ellis Island and eventually landed in Boston where he worked as a barber in Scollay Square.

We lived in Boston and eventually moved to a Boston suburb where, through hard work and savings, he eventually built our family home, bought the building in which his barbershop was located, and sent his children to college. All this was achieved by a Sicilian immigrant, and this story was duplicated by millions of others from southern Italy.

****************************

Abrupt Cancellations: Immigrants across the U.S. reported arriving at their scheduled ceremonies, only to be "plucked out of line" by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) officers who asked their country of origin. 

 Affected Countries: The policy impacts nationals from countries including Afghanistan, Haiti, Iran, Venezuela, Sudan, Eritrea, Somalia, and others. 

 Reasoning: The administration cited the need for a "thorough re-review process" to assess national security and public safety threats, following a recent incident involving an Afghan national. 

Impact: This pause has put thousands of individuals, some of whom had held green cards for many years, in limbo, despite having completed all prior steps for citizenship.

Immigration lawyers have confirmed these incidents and expressed serious concerns about the abrupt nature of the cancellations, which occurred just as applicants were set to take their final oath.

The irony of this disgusting story is that Trump, who is denying citizenship to targeted immigrant groups, would be denied US citizenship BECAUSE TRUMP IS A CONVICTED FELON AND ADJUDICATED SEXUAL ASSAULTER/RAPIST WHOSE HISTORY INCLUDES PARTYING FOR YEARS WITH CONVICTED CHILD SEX TRAFFICKERS AND RAPISTS, EPSTEIN AND MAXWELL.

Any country that cares about the quality of immigrants becoming a naturalized citizen would NEVER allow a low-life criminal like Trump into its borders.

TRUMP RECEIVES THE FIRST (AND ONLY) FIFA "PEACE PRIZE."

 

Imagine being mocked by the biggest (and most corrupt) sport franchise on the planet and being completely unaware that you're the mark:

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

IT APPEARS TRUMP'S SECRETARY OF DEFENSE, PETE HEGSETH, COMMITTED A WAR CRIME -- OR MURDER.

  MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: The WSJ confirms that in the leadup to Pete Hegseth's serial war crimes in the Caribbean, he made clear to commanders that our military code *was not to be followed*—no questions were to be asked of any orders. It led to the resignation of the top commander in the Caribbean.

Graphic depictions of two survivors being killed by a second US military strike on an alleged Venezuelan drug ferrying boat have provoked outrage where previously there was none – or at least relatively little.

 A firestorm of controversy has greeted a recent Washington Post report which suggested that a deadly attack on a vessel carrying 11 people in the Caribbean was followed with a second assault after the initial strike failed to kill everybody onboard.

[skip]

"The rationale has been widely rejected by most legal experts, who have pointed out that the US is not in conflict with an armed group involved in attacking its territory or its assets abroad." 

 [skip] 

 “Even if we buy into their framing that the individuals on these vessels are combatants, it would still be unlawful to kill them if they are hors de combat, which means they’re incapacitated,” said Rebecca Ingber, a professor at Cardozo law school and a former legal adviser to the state department. 

 “It is manifestly unlawful to kill someone who’s been shipwrecked. This is such a longstanding textbook principle of the law of armed conflict. 

 The prohibition is made explicit in the Pentagon’s own Law of War manual." 

 'Members of the armed forces and other persons … who are wounded, sick, or shipwrecked, shall be respected and protected in all circumstances,' it says. 'Such persons are among the categories of persons placed hors de combat; making them the object of attack is strictly prohibited.'

 Significantly – given the allegation that the second strike was conducted in accordance with Hegseth’s order to kill everyone onboard – the manual also addresses the question of illegal orders."

GUEST POST BY DAVE MILLER

 

Not enough people are talking about…

 

Venezuelan airspace being closed... Yes, somehow the Trump Administration has determined the US has a right to unilaterally close any sovereign nation’s airspace we want. Under what authority? Why? No news yet, but stay tuned, I’m sure President Trump will let us know.

 

Trump Announces Pardon for Honduran Ex-President Convicted in Drug Case… Somehow as drug trafficking has become so important we need to bomb single boats in both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and close the airspace over Venezuela, it’s okay to pardon a drug trafficking felonious Ex-President who worked alongside Chapo Guzman of Mexico to supply cocaine to Latin American and the US.

 

Sec Def/War Pete Hegseth orders survivors of US air strike bombed again to make sure they are dead… If this is being reported correctly, Hegseth is guilty of war crimes. The Geneva Conventions clearly state that survivors are to be captured and treated humanely. And the US has signed on to and agreed to this. This is one of the major safe guards in place to protect US military personnel abroad.

 

Some Trump voters are struggling to square compassion, Trump’s words and reality… Here’s a story of a conservative Trump supporting mom who is working to care for peaceful immigrants in her town, while the Trump Admin lies about their criminality and works to deport them.

 

President Trump is continuing to cut tariffs… The big question is why is the Trump Admin cutting tariffs? They continue to insist prices are not up. So why sacrifice the income for the US? They continue to say tariffs do not raise prices, so what effect on the US economy can cutting prices possibly have?

 

Regarding the Afghani shooter… Fox News is reporting that National Guard shooter Rahmanullah Lakanwal was an elite CIA operative, vetted multiple times across two US Administrations and was legally in the US because the Trump Administration approved him for residency. Many conservatives, including apparently President Trump, are unaware of these facts, as evidenced by him calling a reporter who questioned him about the apparent conflict of his words with reality, stupid.

 

Vinyl Records… Vinyl records, known for years as LPs, are in a bit of a resurgence. In a change of pace, check out the great story I linked above on vinyl recordings of all types. It may be just the tonic you need to forget about politics for a few moments.

 

6 - 7… Are you aware of this? In the last two weeks after returning to the US, I’ve spent some time around middle schoolers and all they talk and dream about is 6-7. Check it out in this crazy clip.

 

Finally… who knew the great John Williams of Star Wars fame, wrote the original theme music for Gilligan’s Island? It’s true and here it is.

I’m sure some here will quibble with these stories, or the sources. You cherry picked them, they’ll say, and it shows your bias. Maybe so, but each and every story I’ve highlighted here can be found on traditional news sites, conservative sites, progressive sites and independent sites.

 

Except maybe 6 - 7, but who knows.

 

Enjoy, on to the comments.

I AM SICKENED BY THIS

 

This is what racists and bigots all through history have said about immigrants coming to America. 

We've known for a long time that Trump is an unrepentant racist. 

Listen to how the president of the United States talks about a certain group of immigrants to our country.

I am ashamed to be an American while Trump is president. He does not represent what a majority of my fellow Americans think about immigrants, nor does he share my or my fellow human beings ' human values. There is something desperately wrong with Trump's brain.

 I'm sickened by this.

I wish there was a precedent for what happens when a demagogue picks out a vulnerable minority group and labels them as subhuman. I wonder what the next step is and whether any innocent people get hurt. And I wonder whether the demagogue's followers go on trial when the whole thing is over.

Trump ATTACKS Ilhan Omar as “garbage” in a full-blown racist tirade from the White House podium.

BREAKING: Trump ATTACKS Ilhan Omar as “garbage” in a full-blown racist tirade from the White House podium.

In a jaw-dropping meltdown that showcased the ugliest instincts of his presidency, Donald Trump used his press briefing today to unleash one of the most openly racist rants ever delivered by an American president—attacking Rep. Ilhan Omar, Somali Americans, and Somalia itself in language that would make George Wallace blush.

Yes, this was the rhetoric of ethnic cleansing coming straight from the mouth of the President of the United States.

Standing at the presidential podium, Trump didn’t even pretend to hide it. He called Somalia “barely a country” and smeared Somali immigrants as people who “run around killing each other,” bringing “nothing” to America. Then he crossed into full-blown white-nationalist fantasyland, declaring, “I don’t want them in our country… their country stinks… we keep taking in garbage into our country. Ilhan Omar is garbage.”

Yes—the President of the United States called a sitting member of Congress “garbage.”

And his message to millions of Somali Americans? Get out.

Trump ranted about Minnesota as if it were an occupied territory, accusing Somali families—without evidence—of stealing “billions” and contributing “nothing.” He smeared Omar as hating America, hating the Constitution, and hating “everybody.” He even demanded she “go back” to where she came from—his oldest, most recycled racist applause line.

Let’s be clear: Trump wasn’t talking about policy. He wasn’t talking about security. He was talking about race. About who he thinks deserves to be American—and who he thinks doesn’t.

This is the same Ilhan Omar who came to the U.S. as a refugee, became a citizen, built a life, and rose to Congress. Meanwhile, Trump—whose grandparents came here fleeing poverty—spent the morning ranting about “garbage people” while standing in a taxpayer-funded mansion he’s covered in gold plating.

The cruelty, the racism, the projection—it’s all the same Trump playbook. But today, he ripped the mask off completely.

And every Republican who says nothing owns every word of it.

I recommend that you listen to this former Navy Seal Officer:

 

 

 AND THIS.

*******************

Former prosecutor Andrew McCarthy:

 "If this happened as described in the Post report, it was, at best, a war crime under federal law. I say 'at best' because, as regular readers know, I believe the attacks on these suspected drug boats — without congressional authorization, under circumstances in which the boat operators pose no military threat to the United States, and given that narcotics trafficking is defined in federal law as a crime rather than as terrorist activity, much less an act or war — are lawless and therefore that the killings are not legitimate under the law or armed conflict," the attorney wrote.

McCarthy goes even further, suggesting that, "even if you buy the untenable claim that they are combatants, it is a war crime to intentionally kill combatants who have been rendered unable to fight. It is not permitted, under the laws and customs of honorable warfare, to order that no quarter be given — to apply lethal force to those who surrender or who are injured, shipwrecked, or otherwise unable to fight."

THANKSGIVING 2025

 

ONE OF THE BEST THINGS YOU'LL READ TODAY:

A 16-year-old Latina girl named Sabrina Gonzalez Pasterski submitted her application to MIT.

On paper, her achievements should have been undeniable.

At age 14, she'd built a fully functional single-engine airplane in her garage by herself. She taught herself to fly it. She documented the entire construction process on YouTube.

She was one of only 23 women among 300 students selected as a US Physics Team semifinalist.

She was a first-generation Cuban-American from Chicago Public Schools. Not the typical pipeline to elite universities. She knew the rules: be twice as good to get half as far.

She was twice as good. The plane she built proved it.

MIT waitlisted her anyway.

It was crushing. She'd dreamed of MIT since childhood. To be told "maybe, but not yet" felt like having her entire identity questioned.

But two MIT professors—Allen Haggerty and Earll Murman—saw Sabrina's airplane construction video.

"Our mouths were hanging open," Haggerty later said. "Her potential is off the charts."

They fought for her. They showed the admissions office what they were about to miss.

MIT reconsidered. Sabrina got in.

But she never forgot that waitlist.

Years later, she told reporters: "At some level, I'm glad...because if I had a safety school, I don't know if I could have pushed myself off the wait list."

She felt she had something to prove.

And prove it she did in ways that exceeded everyone's wildest expectations.

Sabrina became the first woman to win MIT's prestigious Physics Orloff Scholarship.

She graduated in just three years—while still a teenager—with a perfect 5.00 GPA, the highest possible score at MIT.

She was the first woman to graduate at the top of MIT Physics in two decades.

Her first academic paper was accepted by the Journal of High-Energy Physics within 24 hours of submission—almost unheard of in academic publishing, where peer review typically takes months.

By graduation, NASA had offered her a job. Jeff Bezos personally offered her a position at Blue Origin.

She turned them all down. "I want to understand how the universe works," she explained simply, "not make billionaires richer."

Instead, Sabrina enrolled at Harvard for her PhD in theoretical physics, studying under renowned physicist Andrew Strominger.

Her research focused on some of the most complex questions in science: quantum gravity, black holes, spacetime, and celestial holography—the mind-bending concept that information at the edges of the universe might encode the entire cosmos.

At age 25, her work was cited by Stephen Hawking in one of his final papers before his death.

Stephen Hawking—one of the greatest physicists who ever lived—cited HER research.

But Sabrina's journey wasn't just about personal brilliance.

It was about navigating a field systematically designed to exclude people like her.

The statistics tell the story:

Hispanics earn only 8% of STEM degrees despite being nearly 20% of the US population

Women earn just 28-35% of STEM degrees

The first woman to earn a PhD in physics did so in 1929—less than a century ago

Sabrina knew these barriers intimately. Being one of only 23 women among 300 Physics Team semifinalists showed her exactly how underrepresented women and minorities were.

It changed her.

She began advocating for women and girls in STEM. She worked on documentaries encouraging young women and minorities to pursue science. She became involved with Michelle Obama's Let Girls Learn initiative, earning an invitation to the White House.

She promoted STEM education in Cuba and Russia, receiving recognition from the Annenberg Foundation and the US Embassy in Moscow.

But being a role model came with crushing pressure—the burden placed on women of color in science who are scrutinized under multiple prejudicial lenses.

She was expected to be perfect. To represent everyone who looked like her. To never stumble. To be both groundbreaking physicist AND spokesperson.

She handled it by focusing intensely on her work. She didn't own a smartphone. She avoided social media. She updated only her website, PhysicsGirl, with academic accomplishments. When journalists called her "the next Einstein," she pushed back.

On her website's "Media Fact-Check Sheet," she wrote: "I am just a grad student. I have so much to learn. I do not deserve the attention."

That humility, combined with extraordinary talent, made her story even more powerful.

After earning her PhD from Harvard—with another perfect GPA—Sabrina completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Princeton's Center for Theoretical Science.

She joined the faculty at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Canada, one of the world's leading centers for theoretical physics research.

She founded and now leads the Celestial Holography Initiative, directing researchers tackling one of physics' biggest unsolved puzzles: uniting our understanding of spacetime with quantum theory.

She works in the same intellectual tradition as Einstein, Hawking, and Strominger—exploring questions most people can't even comprehend, let alone answer.

And she does it while carrying the weight of representation.

Every paper she publishes, every talk she gives, every student she mentors opens the door wider for the next Latina girl, the next first-generation immigrant, the next kid from public schools who dreams of understanding the universe.

Sabrina Gonzalez Pasterski's story isn't just about genius—though she is undeniably, extraordinarily brilliant.

It's about what happens when institutions almost overlook someone because they don't fit the expected mold.

It's about proving yourself when you shouldn't have to.

It's about succeeding brilliantly in spaces that weren't designed for you.

MIT waitlisted her because they couldn't see past their own assumptions about what a physics genius looks like.

She made them reconsider with undeniable proof.

Then she exceeded every expectation—and then some.

She built a plane before she could legally drive.

She earned perfect GPAs at the world's most demanding universities.

She was cited by Stephen Hawking.

She rejected NASA and billionaires to pursue pure research into the fundamental nature of reality.

And now she's working to explain how the entire universe works—while ensuring the next generation of physicists includes more faces that look like hers.

Sabrina Gonzalez Pasterski proved something profound:

Brilliance doesn't wait for permission.

Talent can't be waitlisted forever.

And sometimes the people institutions almost reject become the ones who define the field.

She didn't just get into MIT.

She showed them—and the entire world—what they almost missed.

 

TRUMP'S VENDETTA GETS THROWN OUT OF COURT

 

It's not just Trump's incompetency and corruption that played out here, this embarrassing failure belongs to Pam Bondi, Trump's consigliere. She owns this as well.

Judge Tosses Criminal Charges Against James Comey and Letitia James 

A federal judge threw out the criminal charges against James Comey, the former F.B.I. director, and Letitia James, New York’s attorney general, on Monday after finding that the prosecutor President Trump handpicked to bring the cases had been illegally appointed. The ruling deals a heavy blow to a pair of high-profile prosecutions sought by President Trump, who has pushed the Justice Department to pursue his political enemies.

Meidas Touch:

🚨 “This is stunning — and dangerous: The Trump administration’s much-hyped 28-point “peace plan” for Ukraine — the one Trump claimed Zelensky had days to accept or the U.S. would pull support — turns out not to be a U.S. plan at all. According to new reporting from PBS NewsHour’s Nick Schifrin, senators were just briefed that the document actually originated from Russia.

Sen. Mike Rounds confirmed that the plan was delivered to Trump envoy Steve Witkoff by someone believed to be representing Russia. Sen. Angus King says the document is “essentially the wish list of the Russians.”

Meanwhile, Trump endorsed it. His spokesperson publicly touted it. Allies condemned it. And Ukraine was told to treat it as an American proposal.

This isn’t a “leak.”

This is a foreign influence crisis reaching directly into U.S. national security decision-making.

How did a Russian-drafted ultimatum to Ukraine end up being pushed by Trump’s team as American policy?

And why is Rubio now denying involvement after Axios reported he helped craft it?”

"I was only following orders," is illegal.

 

The family is out shopping and doing errands, so I have a moment.

The Mother Ship is upset because some Democrats have said that the military is not obligated to follow ILLEGAL orders. Apparently the Mother Ship sailors and captain believe soldiers, etc., SHOULD obey illegal orders.

In a post on his "Truth" Social, Trump suggested that the Democrats who said soldiers are not required to follow ILLEGAL orders should be tried as traitors and hanged.

Here is the law:

Unlawful Orders

This Article is intended to explain unlawful orders in the Military.

A Servicemember can face adverse action for violating a lawful order; doing so is a violation of Article 92 of the UCMJ, and sometimes Article 90 of the UCMJ and Article 91 of the UCMJ.  Often, Servicemembers wonder what are lawful orders and what are unlawful orders.  Article 92 provides the following guidance regarding unlawful orders:

"Lawfulness. A general order or regulation is lawful unless it is contrary to the Constitution, the laws of the United States, or lawful superior orders or for some other reason is beyond the authority of the official issuing it."

Article 92 also references subparagraph 16.c of the UCMJ, which states the following:

"Inference of lawfulness. An order requiring the performance of a military duty or act may be inferred to be lawful, and it is disobeyed at the peril of the subordinate. This inference does not apply to a patently illegal order, such as one that directs the commission of a crime. The lawfulness of an order is a question of law to be determined by the military judge. [NOTE, the lawfulness of an order can also be decided by a Commander at an Article 15, a General Officer during the GOMOR process, or by a Separation Board/Board of Inquiry]

Authority of issuing officer [or NCO] . The commissioned officer [or NCO] issuing the order must have authority to give such an order. Authorization may be based on law, regulation, custom of the Service, or applicable order to direct, coordinate, or control the duties, activities, health, welfare, morale, or discipline of the accused.

Relationship to military duty. The order must relate to military duty, which includes all activities reasonably necessary to accomplish a military mission, or safeguard or promote the morale, discipline, and usefulness of members of a command and directly connected with the maintenance of good order in the Service. The order may not, without such a valid military purpose, interfere with private rights or personal affairs. However, the dictates of a person’s conscience, religion, or personal philosophy cannot justify or excuse the disobedience of an otherwise lawful order. Disobedience of an order which has for its sole object the attainment of some private end, or which is given for the sole purpose of increasing the penalty for an offense which it is expected the accused may commit, is not punishable under this article.

Relationship to statutory or constitutional rights. The order must not conflict with the statutory or constitutional rights of the person receiving the order.

LIGHT POSTING FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS

 

My SoCal family is here and my New York family will arrive on Saturday. My oldest grandchild, who lives in Virginia, will arrive on Friday.

We're having an early Thanksgiving.

However, I'll be watching the news for any more of Trump's shenanigans.

The Comey indictment seems to be unraveling.

WHY MUST WE SUFFER UNDER SUCH A STUPIDLY CORRUPT MAN?

 

Either Trump was too lazy to review what his own CIA determined about Khashoggi's murder before meeting again with MBS, or he knew and is deliberately defending the murderer, MBS, because he has business dealings with him.

Either explanation points to Trump's ever-present cupidity in all his dealings with foreign leaders.

"A declassified U.S. intelligence report released in February 2021 indicated that the CIA concluded with high confidence that Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) approved the operation targeting journalist Jamal Khashoggi in Istanbul in October 2018. 

This assessment was based on several factors, including MBS's control over security and intelligence, and the involvement of his advisers and personal protective detail. The report also suggested MBS viewed Khashoggi as a threat and supported violence against dissidents."

"Quiet! Quiet Piggy." --Trump

 

Trump Calls a Bloomberg Reporter 'Piggy' on Epstein Files Query 

 "Trump interrupted a Bloomberg reporter aboard Air Force One, telling her 'Quiet, quiet, piggy' as she questioned him about Jeffrey Epstein's files. 

 Trump denied any ties to Epstein, accused Democrats like Bill Clinton of connections, and called the controversy a hoax, while supporting a House vote to release all remaining documents. 

The exchange occurred ahead of the vote on mandating the Justice Department to disclose Epstein's investigative records, emails, and flight logs."

********************

This is the president MAGA and the folks on the Mother Ship defend and admire.

The Bloomberg reporter was doing her job. Trump is a convicted criminal who spent years partying with his best friend, child sex-trafficker and rapist, Jeffrey Epstein. We know the rest of Trump's swinish behaviors.

Trump called the reporter, "Piggy." One of his favorite epithets for women he fears and hates. It’s the same simmering rage he’s shown toward women his entire life.

Trump, a literal pig, at reporter on AF1: “Quiet, quiet piggy!”

THIS IS NOT GOING AWAY

 

Michael Jochum:

The Pedophile Files:

The Epstein files are not about Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Harvard, Wall Street, the left, the right, or whichever convenient boogeyman the outrage machine wants to throw across the stage today.

They are about the victims, the children, the human beings who were preyed upon, bought, trafficked, silenced, and discarded like contraband.

But every time new documents surface, every time a new name is hinted, every time another window opens on the darkest criminal conspiracy of our time, what does the most powerful man in the country do?

He deflects.

He points fingers.

He throws up smoke.

He shouts “Clinton!” like it’s an exorcism spell.

And he expects us to treat his denial as gospel.

This isn’t a Republican scandal or a Democratic scandal. This is a human scandal, a moral catastrophe that should unite every decent person on earth with one simple, sacred truth:

Child predators get no quarter. Not from the right. Not from the left. Not from anyone.

Yet here we are, in 2025, watching an entire government tiptoe around a dead billionaire pedophile’s Rolodex like they’re afraid of catching fire. Watching the President of the United States pretend he’s never heard of “the girls,” while simultaneously instructing the Justice Department to chase down every Democrat within three degrees of Jeffrey Epstein’s corpse.

Trump says he “knows nothing.”

He always “knows nothing.”

A remarkable claim for the man who supposedly “knows more about everything than anyone.”

He knew nothing about the girls.

He knew nothing about the emails.

He knew nothing about the friend he once described as loving women “on the younger side.”

He knew nothing about the victim he reportedly “spent hours with” in his own home, a victim who is no longer alive to speak for herself.

How convenient. How cowardly. How morally bankrupt.

Meanwhile the MAGA loyalists line up behind him, chanting the usual incantation: “Not our guy. Look over there.”

Except, in a rare moment of honesty, even Marjorie Taylor Greene is calling bullshit.

And when Marjorie Taylor Greene becomes the moral voice in the room, the room is in flames.

She signs a petition with Democrats to release more Epstein files, and what does Trump do?

He attacks her. Calls her a RINO. Calls her lost. Calls her disloyal.

Because in Trump’s moral universe, telling the truth is treason and protecting the vulnerable is weakness.

This is what happens in cults.

This is what happens in fascist movements.

This is what happens when power becomes the only currency and conscience becomes the enemy.

But here’s the thing the deflectors don’t want to hear:

There were many players. Many enablers. Many abusers. This wasn’t one monster, it was a ring. An ecosystem. A system built to protect the powerful from consequences.

And that system is still alive.

It survives because we allow it to.

Because politicians hide files.

Because billionaires protect billionaires.

Because too many Americans have been trained to ask not “What is true?” but “Which side does this help?”

Well, here’s a radical idea:

Children are not partisan.

Rape is not partisan.

Trafficking is not partisan.

Justice is not partisan.

The survivors deserve the truth.

They deserve transparency.

They deserve accountability.

And they deserve a country whose leaders stop playing political ping-pong with their trauma.

I am sick, of the excuses, the deflections, the performative outrage, the crocodile tears, and the endless moral contortions required to protect powerful men from scrutiny.

To the MAGA faithful who scream about crime and justice:

If you cannot demand full transparency about a global child-trafficking operation because it might implicate your idol, then you have abandoned morality for worship.

To the Republicans who want to bury the files:

You do not serve America. You serve fear.

To the Democrats who only care when the accused wears a red tie:

You are complicit, too.

To the President who wants to investigate everyone but himself:

You are the deflector-in-chief of a nation drowning in denial.

And to the survivors, the ones still alive, the ones who didn’t make it, the ones still fighting to be believed, I’m sorry.

I’m sorry this country keeps choosing politics over humanity.

I’m sorry your names have become footnotes in a culture war.

I’m sorry the people responsible for protecting you are more interested in protecting themselves.

And I’m sorry, most of all, that the truth has become a threat.

But guess what?

The truth is coming anyway.

And none of these men, not presidents, not bankers, not billionaires, deserve the power to stop it.

Enough with the deflection.

Enough with the lies.

Enough with the worship.

Release the files.

All of them.

Let the truth speak.

And let justice finally, mercifully, do what politics never will.

This is what evil and misogny look like: A MALE BLAMING FEMALE CHILD RAPE VICTIMS FOR WHAT WAS DONE TO THEM

 

Shaw Kenawe

We don’t know that.

But the Epstein emails show Epstein himself stating that Trump was alone with one of the girls for hours in Epstein’s mansion. Also, we have evidence that Trump and Epstein celebrated “ their secret”. Don’t you wonder what secret they shared?

Beyond all that, though, what the Epstein scandal shows is that very wealthy very powerful men were engaged with Epstein in raping children. Doesn’t that turn your stomach?

FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew

Trump and Epstein's secret? That under hypergamy, the rich can grab any woman by the p*ssy, and she will love him for it. Cuz that's how she can draft on his wealth and social position.

All those underage girls hanging out with Jeff & Ghislaine? They were all playing the hypergamy game. Only when the sun came up and the "Prince" hadn't put the slipper on their feet, they blamed Ghislaine, when they should have simply looked in the mirror to see whom they should blame.

November 15, 2025 at 9:27 AM

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew

Turn my stomach? There are only 13 US States (& Virgin Islands) where the age of consent is 18. In my state, Maryland, its' 16.

They weren't raping children.. The children all appeared to be consenting... or they would have all reported it immediately to the authorities rather than keep playing the hypergamy game.

November 15, 2025 at 9:35 AM

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew

btw - Why was Trump responsible for spilling the beans on Epstein's hypergamy game? Every woman on the planet was playing it.

November 15, 2025 at 9:40 AM

Trump was merely practicing hypogamy (the opposite game).

New records detail how Epstein levereged connections to the wealthy, powerful to abuse girls Nation Jan 5, 2024 12:06 PM EST

***********************

In a 2016 deposition, Joseph Recarey, a police detective in Palm Beach, Florida, said that approximately 30 women had spoken to him about "performing massage and work at Epstein's home" in the beachfront community.

He said Maxwell was involved in recruiting the girls.

Mr Recarey testified that only two of the girls had any massage experience and the majority of them were under the age of 18.

When asked how Epstein was able to gain access to so many underage girls the detective said: "Each of the victims that went to the home were asked to bring their friends to the home."

Some were paid to recruit, he said, adding: "When they went to perform a massage, it was for [Epstein's] sexual gratification."

                ***********************

According to people like -FJ, those wily underage girls were practicing "hypergamy," in order to trick Epstein and Maxwell into giving them a financially better life. 

Poor Epstein and Maxwell and Trump! All victims of underage girls practicing what all females practice: The age-old deceptive craft of hypergamy! 

-FJ: "Trump and Epstein's secret? That under hypergamy, the rich can grab any woman by the p*ssy, and she will love him for it. Cuz that's how she can draft on his wealth and social position."

NOTE:  Most of the victims in the Epstein scandals were NOT "women," they were underage girls.
