Flotsam and Jetsam - Hillary Testilies in Epstein Probe

But first, it's day 3 of post SOTU commentary. Hopefully, this may be the last of it. Dmitri Bolt at TownHall sees Democrats Race to Do Damage Control After Refusing to Stand for Americans First. Driscoll at Insty, PAST PERFORMANCE IS NO GUARANTEE OF FUTURE RESULTS:

Rusty Weiss at RedState, Furious Ilhan Omar Demands Probe After Her Radical SOTU Guest Is Arrested—She Might Look Familiar to You. Ace, When Congressmen Began Chanting "USA! USA!," Deportable Treasonous Jihadi Congresswomen Rashida Tlaib Began Shouting "KKK! KKK!", "The NY Post, again:" TownHall's Amy Curtis wonders Did Rep. Seth Moulton Commit a Crime at Trump's State of the Union Address? Nick Sortor @nicksortor, "WTF?! Democrat Rep. Seth Moulton SMUGGLED IN an illegal alien to Trump's State of the Union address, then had his Chief of Staff HARBOR the illegal in Moulton's office to SHIELD him from police Harboring an illegal is a FEDERAL FELONY ARRESTS need to be made! Or our laws are MEANINGLESS." Althouse finds "It begins with one — one frog...." "I found the Portland Frog Brigade via this NY Post column, "Dems ditched American heroes for adults in frog suits and tiresome De Niro — all we can do is pity them." Dave Harsanyi at WaEx, Yes, Democrats are crazy. PJM's Stephen Kruiser says I Blame Obama for the Churlish Behavior of Today's Dems. Kevin Dalton @TheKevinDalton, "Jimmy Kimmel slams President Trump’s State of the Union address in a monologue he recorded hours before President Trump’s State of the Union address. I’m truly embarrassed by how much I once looked up to Jimmy Kimmel. I promise, he wasn’t always… this." To be fair, he knew he would hate it regardless of what Trump actually said.

The Epstein war has heated up again with charges that the Trump admin removed files in which a woman claimed to be molested by Trump at an Epstein party and Hillary being forced to testify to Congress (Bill is today). At Twitchy, NYT, WSJ Confirm NPR Report About Missing Epstein Files Tying Trump to Sexually Abusing a Child. Roger Sollenberger @SollenbergerRC, "NEW: The New York Times confirms my reporting that the DOJ is withholding several FBI interviews with a woman who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her as a child." Dan Nelson @IlliniDan2, "So two news agencies with suspect editorial practices are checking each othwrs work?" Jim Muessig @JimMuessig, "I’ve heard 51 former intelligence officials will confirm it soon too."

But, but, but…Hillary doesn’t know
Epstein, never met him.
Althouse, "The Clintons are likely to be asked why, long after Maxwell had been publicly accused of trafficking girls with Epstein in 2009, she was still welcome at events with the couple." "In 2010, Maxwell attended the wedding of the Clintons’ daughter, Chelsea, and in 2013 was a guest at the Clinton Global Initiative conference. The former president Clinton also attended a dinner with Maxwell in Los Angeles as late as 2014, according to reports.... Speaking to Todd Blanche, the deputy attorney-general, Maxwell said Bill was 'my friend, not Epstein’s friend.' She said: 'President Clinton liked me, and we got along terribly well. But I never saw that warmth with Mr Epstein.'" From "The questions Bill and Hillary Clinton need to answer about Epstein files. The couple will be questioned, starting on Thursday, over pictures with the paedophile and emails to Ghislaine Maxwell. What will they have to explain?" and "For almost the entirety of her married life, she has had to answer questions about her husband’s action." From sundance at CTH, Clinton Deposition on Epstein Briefly Halted Due to Leaked Photograph of Events. Hat Hair's John Sexton notes Hillary and Republicans Offer Different Takes on Her Testimony. Now there's a big surprise.

The Beeb, World Economic Forum boss quits after review of Epstein links. Sundance, After Being Named in Epstein Files WEF President and CEO Borge Brende Resigns. Just gonna guess he's not MAGA. Ace, Another Harvard Professor Exposed as Friend of Epstein. "We already knew that Harvard's Larry Summers, who was also Obama's chief economic advisor, was a close pal of Epstein's. He resigned from the school a few months back. Now we find out aHarvard math professor was also a FoJ." Also, Bill Gates Is Very, Very, Very Sorry He Inadvertently Consorted With a Convicted Child Trafficker and Banged Russian "Dates" Procured by Jeffrey Epstein, UPDATE: President and CEO of the WEF Resigns Over Epstein Ties. "You wouldn't believe how sorry he is about the "mistake" he made in becoming BFFs with a guy who just got convicted of soliciting a 14-year-old girl."
Sundance, Typically, Republican – It Sounds Like John Thune is Using SAVE Act as Leverage to Reopen Govt. Twitchy finds DataRepublican PERFECTLY Breaks Down Why Republicans Are Slow-Walking the SAVE Act in MUST-Read Thread. DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican, "On the SAVE Act specifically: "The uncomfortable synthesis: these senators have more in common with their Democratic counterparts than with their own voters. Not because of a coordinated network... just because they've lived in the same city, breathed the same air, and attended the same events for 30-40 years. The filibuster is the excuse. The real answer is they don't feel the urgency their base feels, because Washington DC doesn't feel that urgency."" Here, let me try. All the Republicans currently in office have already been elected, mostly in safe seats. They're not worried about voter fraud. The Redheaded libertarian @TRHLofficial, "Forcing senators to talk during the filibuster is literally how the filibuster is supposed to work. Republicans either don’t want to sit through another 25 hour speech by Cory Booker or are being paid off by lobbyists. Either way, they’re betraying us for personal gain or comfort." Quote Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh, "BREAKING: At least 4 REPUBLICAN SENATORS are NO or leaning NO on a talking filibuster to pass the SAVE America Act with 50+1 votes, per Punchbowl Sen. Thom Tillis is currently NO unless he sees a "clear plan" to pass the bill without nuking the filibuster Sen. John CurtisShow more" Elon Musk @elonmusk, "Absolutely. Otherwise, the filibuster will be killed immediately if Dems get the House, Senate and Presidency in 2029. They already tried to do it and were stopped by Manchin & Sinema, who were then kicked out of the Dem party." Quote Mike Lee @BasedMikeLee, "22hFor those who want to preserve the filibuster, the best way to do that is to use the talking filibuster to pass the SAVE America Act/" From the Chronic, The Talking Filibuster Is the ‘Anti-Nuclear Option.’ Elon Musk @elonmusk, “Best in Show” Quote Right Angle News Network @Rightanglenews "BREAKING - Just days after Senator John Thune said there was no time to debate and vote on the SAVE Act, it was revealed that senators held a dog parade inside the chamber, bringing their pets in for photos and celebration instead of moving forward on the election bill."

VodkaPundit at Insty sees CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN: Over a quarter million federal jobs reduced in 2025 from nearly two dozen agencies. "That’s still too many. Keep cutting until NoVa is practically emptied out and Virginia is red again." Amen, brother. 

I&I, Voters Give ‘Thumbs Up’ To Trump’s Foreign-Policy ‘Donroe Doctrine’ Activism. Sundance, Secretary Rubio Responds to Report of Cuba Shooting Speedboat, Killing 4, Wounding 6. Sarah Anderson at PJM, Cuba Gets Oil? Boat Story Busted? And Marco Meets The Crab? "First of all, one of the guys listed as a passenger is not in Cuba. He's in the United States alive and well. He was not on any sort of boat. He has no injuries. He said it could be some sort of administrative error or a mix-up with someone with a similar name, but it's not him. Second, the family who owns the boat used in this "terrorist infiltration" claims it was stolen by an employee from their construction company. They had no plans to use it for any such activity, and they say the boat registered under that license isn't a speedboat, but a small fishing boat with one engine. The owners doubted it could hold 10 people and all that gear, much less make it to Cuba on its single engine. Third, the regime has produced no evidence of anything. No photos of the boat or gear. No access to those injured. No witnesses. As Marco Rubio said yesterday, we don't believe anything they say until we can verify it independently. The U.S. Coast Guard and Department of Homeland Security are looking into the matter, as is Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, who has opened an investigation." Capt. Ed at Hat Hair, Rats on Sunken Drug Ship: Regime Capos Turn Informer on Maduro. At Althouse, "Trump’s goalposts are infinite." "I'm listening to the NYT "Daily" podcast, "Inside the Operation to Take Down Mexico’s Biggest Drug Lord" (transcript and audio at Podscribe)." NewsWax hears Iran to Offer 'Commercial Bonanza' to US Companies in an attempt to not get blown back to the stone age. 

Capt. Ed, Federal Judge: The Hacks In the Back Filed a Silly Attack, And It Turned Into a Ballroom Blitz! Bob Spencer at PJM, Trump Racks Up Another Victory Over Leftist Crazies Trying to Stop His Ballroom. Althouse likes her NYT spin "A federal judge on Thursday declined to halt construction of the ballroom President Trump plans to build over the demolished East Wing of the White House..." "... concluding that the lawsuit, as filed, focused on the wrong questions about the president’s authority.... Judge Richard J. Leon of the Federal District Court in Washington wrote that the group that had filed the lawsuit could amend the claim to focus more squarely on the president’s power to make sweeping changes to the building without input from Congress...."

PJM's Athena Thorne hears Black Americans Are Fed up With Democrats Calling Them Stupid and Ignorant, and It’s Hilarious. Dan McCarthy at RCP on How a Party Offends Its Voters. Hat Hair's Dave Strom puts Newsom's California in a Nutshell. Kevin Dalton @TheKevinDalton, "The fact that possessing child porn can be pled down to only a misdemeanor in Gavin Newsom‘s pedo-protecting California is a far bigger story than this waste of oxygen running for office." Steve Soukup at Am Great claims AOC’s Ignorance Is No Laughing Matter "Ocasio-Cortez’s Munich performance was laughable—but her nostalgia for workerist politics ignores a century of Marxist failure, revisionism, and the authoritarian wreckage that followed." But we can still laugh. Brit Hume @brithume, "Quote: "From this day forward you will never see a headline in the political press referring to Graham Platner, the candidate in question, as a communist, though that’s how he described himself as recently as 2020."

Dave Strom, The CIA Democrats... UPDATE...Data Republican Is on the Case. DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican, "I already generated a dossier on Spanberger, but the most interesting part of it is that she is part of a cohort of 50+ military-intelligence veterans that have been recruited to run as Democratic candidates starting in 2018. @SomeBitchIIKnow first hypothesized this, but my new dossier pipeline independently captured them. A Democrat retires. A CIA member takes over. Spanberger is part of a much deeper, much more disturbing story here." Quote John Fisher @JohnFisher9372, Replying to @DataRepublican and @jammles9, "Well done! I have a request. At some point do the same for Abigail Spanberger. I believe she is much more likely to claim the 'moderate' lane in 2028, and I think this kind of deep dive would be 'interesting'." The woman is a wizardess behind a keyboard. 

Scott Johnson at Power Line likes Dr. Oz’s prescription for Minnesota. "We learn via X that Dr. Oz has deferred $259.5 million of quarterly federal Medicaid funding in Minnesota to prevent payment of questionable claims while further investigation is completed. The related press release explains . . ." Jeff Charles at TownHall, thinks Democrats Will Lose Their Minds After JD Vance's Announcement About Minnesota Fraud. Aaron Rupar @atrupar "JD Vance: "We're announcing today that we have decided to temporarily halt certain amounts of Medicaid funding that is going to the state of Minnesota in order to ensure that the state of Minnesota takes its obligations seriously to be good stewards of the American people's tax money.""


Capt. Ed has Today's Deep Question: Why Did Biden-Era DoJ Spy on Wiles' Call With Attorney? The same reason a dog licks it's ball; because it can. Sundance, FBI Investigated Susie Wiles and Kash Patel Phone Records, Secretly Recording Wiles Conversations with Her Lawyer in 2022 and 2023. Clay Travis @ClayTravis, "Joe Biden’s FBI spying on Donald Trump’s campaign manager, Susie Wiles — and even listening to her phone calls with her lawyer! — makes Watergate look like jaywalking." Ace,
Biden's Corrupt and Soviet FBI Wiretapped Key Political Opponents Kash Patel and Suzie Wiles (Trump's Chief of Staff). "Weird how all of the targets of Biden's FBI just happened to be political opponents he wanted dirt on. This is Nixon Squared. And the leftwing media insists this is all perfectly normal, and that Trump is The Real Authoritarian Here. News Wax catches the AP whining, FBI Fires Agents in Trump Classified Docs Case "“These actions weaken the Bureau by stripping away critical expertise and destabilizing the workforce, undermining trust in leadership and jeopardizing the Bureau's ability to meet its recruitment goals — ultimately putting the nation at greater risk,” the association said in a statement." Eggs, omelets. Nick Sortor @nicksortor, "HOLY CRAP! Secretary Noem just revealed
@ElonMusk helped find that a few DHS staffers installed SPYWARE on her phone and computer, as well as on the devices of of other political hires These people need to be JAILED! There HAVE to be consequences, or they’ll keep doing it! In addition, Noem and her team found "secret, secure rooms with hidden files that we turned over to attorneys." I don't care what anyone says: the deep state is alive and well." Sundance hears Democrats in Intel are Big Mad That Tulsi Gabbard Will Not Share Details of Gossip About Jared Kushner. Jeff Lord at Am Spec, Susan Rice Goes Full Fascist. "Threatens Trump supporters."

Steve Richards and John Solomon at JTN report As Georgia prosecutor pursued Trump, Biden DOJ 'invited' her to get lucrative grant, memos show, "Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ records, turned over to Just the News after an open records lawsuit, show her office received millions of dollars from the Biden Justice Department as she built her case against then-former President Donald Trump." Dave Strom, Biden Justice Department Funneled $18 Million to Fani Willis.



VodkaPundit at Insty, IS IT REALLY AS HIGH AS 10%? Nick Sortor @nicksortor, "CNN and MSNBC are running constant hit pieces on @NICKIMINAJ over her support for President Trump. But Nicki has ALREADY told them to screw off: “I am probably the President’s NUMBER ONE fan, and that’s NOT going to change!” “The hate motivates me to support him MORE!”" Bonchie @bonchieredstate, "The Washington Post is now doing PR for Candace Owens, and you still think you aren't the mark?" Quote, The Washington Post @washingtonpost "Right-wing influencer Candace Owens released the first episode of a new video series focused on the widow of Charlie Kirk. The series promises to unearth secrets from Erika Kirk’s past relevant to her stewardship of the powerful conservative nonprofit." 


Jonathan Turley is pissed “Anathema in the University Mission”: Bari Weiss Canceled at UCLA. Bob Shibley at Insty asks HAVE EMPLOYERS FORGIVEN COLLEGES? “[S]eventy percent of employers have either ‘a great deal’ or ‘quite a lot’ of confidence in U.S. higher education,” according to Morning Consult. I am gonna have to press X to doubt this finding given what Americans generally are thinking. Dave Strom finds A Perfect Encapsulation of Why Nobody Trusts the Establishment Anymore. Campus Reform, New report alleges key evidence behind medical DEI push is misleading. Alec Stapp @AlecStapp, "This is a really astonishing claim: Students in Mississippi & Louisiana score higher on reading tests than students in California & New York despite spending way less money per pupil and having higher child poverty rates. Decided to double check the data because, if true, this should be alarming for blue state leaders. And yup, it checks out . . ." 

Harold Hutchinson at Da Signal, Trans Lawmaker Wants You to Believe Porn Sites Are ‘Educational’ for ‘Queer Kids’. Eric S. Raymond @esrtweet, "To understand this, I think we need to remember the famous quote by Theodore Dalyrimple: "In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better . . . . The point of transgenderist propaganda isn't to persuade, but to degrade, humiliate, and destroy." Quote Wesley Yang @wesyang, "Transgenderism is an ongoing project of attempting to normalize a bizarre subculture built around esoteric pseudo-medical practices from the outermost fringe of human extremity and make it compulsory for every American to join that subculture and to make that subculture the . . ." 

Stacy McCain has An Odd Sequel to the Bubba/‘Brittni’ Saga. "It’s been more than two years and most readers have probably forgotten the disturbing story of the late Fred “Bubba” Copeland: "Copeland was the mayor of Smiths Station, a town of less than 7,000 people in Lee County, Alabama. He was also a freakazoid, secretly pursuing transgender fantasies that he posted online using a persona he called “Brittini Blaire Summerlin.”| Habitually working in “file-it-and-forget-it” mode, the tragic tale of Bubba/“Brittini” hadn’t crossed my mind recently, but then Glenn Reynolds called attention to a campus controversy . . . "
