Flotsam and Jetsam - Perusing the "Clinton Files"

From NYPo, Nearly naked Bill Clinton pictured soaking in hot tub with unidentified woman in Epstein files: ‘His reckoning’, and more to the point, her face is redacted, signifying she's probably an Epstein "victim" and not a random celebrity. LifeZette thinks Bill Clinton is in Hot Water After Epstein Dump Reveals Compromising Pictures. Not really, we've known what Bill Clinton is for a long time. Twitchy hears Scott Jennings Rename the Epstein Files as Dems Screech Over Trump’s Absence: The Clinton Files. Sunny @sunnyright, "You wrote out that first sentence and what outrages you is the order in which the documents are published." Quote Tara Palmeri @tarapalmeri, "I'm seeing a lot of pictures of Bill Clinton in the Epstein Files. Weird that they came out first." Walter Kirn @walterkirn "Trump must be in there somewhere! Remove all redactions! We won't rest!" Walter Kirn @walterkirn, "The Epstein Files are whatever you want or need them to be, I've learned." Professor Charles Xavier @PezeshkiCharles, "I find it fascinating that people have no clue how beautiful women operate around billionaires." Matt Vespa at TownHall, The Epstein Files Memes Are Pouring in, and They're Hilarious and Hey, Dems, When CNN Can't Save You on How You've Handled the Epstein Files, You've Really Screwed Up. "Democrats thought they had endless cannon fodder to use against the Trump administration. Instead, they’ve run away, as most of the new developments have placed their friends in a bad light. Moreover, the victims of the late New York financier found the selective releases from Democrats on House Oversight regarding this matter supremely annoying. When CNN can’t defend you, you know it’s bad . . ." It's a high bar indeed, but Matt Taibbi asserts The Jeffrey Epstein Saga is the Worst-Reported Story of All Time "Thanks to decades of misreporting, unproven conspiracy theories about Jeffrey Epstein are the one thing uniting both camps of American politics."

Stacy McCain, ‘Yes, We Stole the Election. Oopsie.’ "Read the whole thing. Five years after the election — when it is too late to rectify the crime, and never mind all the injury inflicted on those branded “election deniers” for protesting this fraud — we learn the truth." Chris Stigall @ChrisStigall, "This week we found out: the Mar-a-lago raid was not legally executed, Georgia was stolen in the 2020 election, Trump tariffs have not caused inflation, and Bill Clinton was Epstein’s #1 pal Oh, and the Congressional Dem approval is -55 overall (Quinnipiac) Merry Christmas!" Elon Musk @elonmusk, "Yes" Quote FischerKing @FischerKing64, "Remember that Trump was indicted for "pressuring" Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to investigate election integrity in his state, and that this was linked with his impeachment. Kinda looks like Trump was right, and was punished for asking appropriate questions. x.com/HansMahncke/st…"

Gail Heriot at Insty is WINNING!!!: "I’ve been beating the drum for the last several years about the federal government’s “Minority Serving Institution” programs. These are programs that shovel large sums of money to colleges and universities based on whether they have high minority student enrollment. For example, to be a Hispanic Serving Institution, at least 25% of a college or university’s students must be Hispanic. These programs are UNCONSTITUTIONAL. I’ve urged this before both large and small crowds, in various cities, both live and via Zoom. Dan Morenoff, who is the Executive Director of the American Civil Rights Project (where I’m chairman of the board) has been plugging away with me. I also enlisted by former special assistant Alex Heideman to write on the issue. And we’re getting somewhere The latest development is a 48-page official opinion from the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel agreeing that these race-based programs are simply unconstitutional. The opinion is binding on the executive branch.. . . " At Hat Hair, Stephen Moore on Why Johnny Can't Read. "We solved the problem of illiteracy nearly 100 years ago. Now the problem is back."
