Matt Margolis at PJM, The Left's Trump-Epstein Witch Hunt Implodes Amid Ghislaine Maxwell Bombshell "During her nine hours speaking with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche last month, Ghislaine Maxwell said nothing during the interview that would be harmful to President Donald Trump, telling Blanche that Trump had never done anything in her presence that would have caused concern, according to sources familiar with what Maxwell said." Matt Vespa, Ghislaine Maxwell Just Popped the Dems' Bubble on Trump and the Epstein Files. From Ace, Ghislaine Maxwell's Testimony: I Never Saw Trump Do Anything Concerning "But did she see Bill and Hillary doing anything concerning? We don't know yet." Well, that's a pretty low bar coming from a convicted sex offender, and certainly all her incentives lie in exonerating Trump, but still, it takes some the oxygen out of this already fading non-scandal. Sundance at CTH reports an Administration Officials Meeting to Discuss Public Release of Recording and Transcript of Deputy AG Todd Blanche Interview with Ghislaine Maxwell but NewsMax hears Trump, Vance say Epstein Meeting Reports 'Fake News' Do it.
Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes "The real reason Democrats are afraid of gerrymandering. This breakdown ends the Democrat Party “This is why Democrats are so scared of gerrymandering. Because every blue state is already gerrymandered to the maximum possible extent. None of these states have a Republican congressperson . . ." VodkaPundit at PJM, Dem Message of the Day: GERRYMANDER HARDER. Guy Benson @guypbenson "Amazing. She knows her state’s map is 9-0 blue." Quote Gerry Callahan @GerryCallahan "Oh no. Maura Healey says President Trump and Gov. Abbott have left her with no choice. She MUST gerrymander Massachusetts to get rid of all the Republican Reps." At Althouse, "In truth, Republicans may have more cards to play in an all-out redistricting war in 2026 than Democrats do." "The NYT concedes in "California Democrats Look to Redraw House Map to Counter Texas G.O.P./As a Texas senator summoned the F.B.I. to round up Democrats, the redistricting war that began in Texas was spreading, with California aiming at five Republican House seats." ... House maps and redistricting laws in Democratic states present significant hurdles. Illinois, for instance, is already so skewed to Democrats that flipping even one of the three Republican seats left would be extremely difficult for mapmakers. That's a funny use of the passive voice: "is already so skewed." In other words, Democrats have already done what they could to advantage themselves in Illinois. They've already used the practice they now want to condemn as nefarious." VodkaPundit at Insty, IT’S (D)IFFERENT WHEN THEY DO IT: Mark Weyermuller @publicpolicyman, "ILLINOIS GERRYMANDERING: The congressional districts here in 1970, then now in 2025. They are carefully crafted to ensure a Democrat would win a majority of the state. The hypocrisy of Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker to comment on Texas doing the same is insane. Yet another reason Pritzker spends more time messing things up than helping Illinois residents." Now look at Maryland. John Hinderacker at Power Line asks (and answers) Who’s Gerrymandering Whom? "So, if representation in Congress were exactly proportional to votes cast for Congressional candidates, the Republicans would gain six seats in the House." Dmitri Bolt at TownHall sees Obama Slams Texas Redistricting—but His Own Record Tells a Different Story. John Sexton at Hat Hair hears Texas Democrats Evacuated After Bomb Threat at Illinois Hotel. Not funny! OK, maybe just a little. Insty, OLD AND BUSTED: "Birchers See Communists Everywhere. The New Hotness? Democrats See Nazis Everywhere. Let me ask you a question: if Pravda Media reporters challenged Democrats every time they compared Republicans to Nazis, how long before the Democrats tried a less insane tactic? My prediction is that it would happen quickly. As annoying as it is to be compared to Nazis, it’s not hard to see why Democrats keep doing it. The media encourages them to .. . ." Carmine Sabia @CarmineSabia "Texas State Democrat Rep. Jolanda Jones just compared her Texas redistricting to the Holocaust and the murder of 6 million Jews, and Don Lemon agreed. I'm exhausted with these people trivializing 6 million murders. This is abhorrent."UPI, Kennedy ends federal mRNA vaccine projects over experts' objections. Allow him to explain in his own words, BARDA and mRNA Vaccines Announcement. It's much more sensible when he explains it.
Sean Davis at Da Fed, reports DOJ Requests DNI Documents Following Gabbard Criminal Referral On Russiagate Conspiracy. Sundance hosts DNI Tulsi Gabbard Breaks Down Russiagate with Details and Explanations of the Silo Systems (long one) and Matt Taibbi Breaks Down the Russiagate Fraud Against Recent Declassified Evidence, (much shorter). Miranda Devine @mirandadevine "It's accountability and deterrence, not retribution. Trump showed mercy to his enemies in his first term and in return they debanked him, tried to throw him in jail and assassinate him. If they get away with that, what will they do to the next president they can't control?" Quote Axios @axios "AG Pam Bondi's decision to order a grand jury investigation into Obama-era intelligence officials is a watershed moment in the history of MAGA retribution after 10 years of demanding the arrests of Trump's political enemies." Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald "The people who spent 8 years trying to imprison Trump as their main political strategy -- first as part of Russiagate, then with 4 bullshit prosecutions in 2023 -- are now denouncing investigations of Obama officials as "MAGA retribution" and "arrests of political enemies." Susie Moore at RedState wants you to Watch Obama Give the Game Away in 2016 NPR Interview. Matt Vespa, Did This Publication Think They Could Stop the Russian Collusion Hoax From Being Exposed? WaPoo, of course. Matt Taibbi at Racket has an Open Letter to the Columbia Journalism Review, on the Atrocious New York Times. "The high priests of journalism should be able to detect the difference between good coverage and epic failure." Matt Margolis reports the FBI Burn Bags Had More Than Russiagate Files in Them. "During an interview on “The Benny Johnson Show,” Rep. Luna dropped a bombshell: “I’m asking [the FBI] directly who authorized this information to be placed in burn bags and what information they have about the former deputy director of the FBI destroying evidence pertaining to Jeffrey Epstein, which we know right now the FBI is actively investigating.”" Matt Vespa, GOP Rep Reveals There Was Something Else Found in Those FBI Burn Bags.
John Sexton reports DOJ Will Seek Death Penalty for Accused Murderer Elias Rodriguez.
From Fox, Trump admin nixes giant wind farm approved 'last-minute' by Biden team. "Trump admin says former President Joe Biden's approval of the Lava Ridge wind project included 'crucial legal deficiencies.'" Oilfield Rando @Oilfield_Rando "Considering? I looked at the grant recipients for Solar for All. It’s a slush fund for left wing activists. End it." Quote CBS News @CBSNews, "The Environmental Protection Agency is considering terminating its $7 billion Solar for All program that was designed to bring renewable and affordable energy to low-income communities, two sources confirmed to CBS News."
Seth Mandel at Commentary hears Schumer Picks His Successor. "Brian Schatz has secured his place as Durbin’s successor as whip. That part is less important than what it sets up for the future: a relatively clear path for Schatz to eventually succeed Chuck Schumer as the party’s Senate leader." Dave Strom at Hat Hair wonders, Is Ro Khanna the Democrats' Dark Horse for 2028? He's far too sensible for them. Matt Margolis, It's Happening: Schiff Under Investigation by the Maryland AG for Mortgage Fraud. Ace celebrates Adam Schiff Is Under Federal Criminal Investigation for Mortgage Fraud, "No shman is above the law." Nothing a felony conviction and a fine of a few hundred million won't fix.
Joanne Jacobs reports Chicago schools get $500K for services: Success won't be judged by student outcomes, says mayor, just the amount of money spent. At a press conference announcing the program's expansion, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson said he "wouldn’t measure success based on student outcomes, such as test scores and graduation rates, but rather on the extra staff and programs the schools offer students."
John Sexton has news from the UK, UK Retailer Apologizes After Trans Employee Approaches 14-Year-Old Buying Her First Bra. From Campus Reform, Wagner College enters Title IX agreement over male fencer, apologizes to female athletes.
From OutKick, Sophie Cunningham Reacts After Flying Sex Toy Buzzes Her Ankle "When you attack Sophie Cunningham, you attack all of us." Ace, Some Wiseacres (and Also Wisenheimers) Think It's Funny to Throw Dildos on to the Courts During WNBA Games "I missed this story but it's okay because the Dildo Tossing is still happening. It's the New Holocaust (TM)." The Patriarch Tree @PatriarchTree, "America needs common sense dildo reform." @WNBA Quote Jarvis @jarvis_best, "Replying to @jarvis_best, "Nationwide dildo ban and confiscation. They serve no purpose anyway." Jon Gabriel @exjon, ""Dildos are the language of the unheard." -- Gandhi" Quote Marcus @MarcusNoNumbers, Replying to @exjon, "What's their hang up? They should lean into this dildo throwing as a league. Turn it into a tradition like when Red Wings fans throw octopi on the ice upon a hat trick."
