Today in The Front Page: The Epstein Saga. Coleman Hughes live in Atlanta. Can AI fix our politicians? Can Warsh fix the Fed? Why is Mamdani scrapping New York’s gifted and talented program? And more.
One of the aspects of "The Epstein Files" that, after the facts of this mess are out and bantered about, is knowing that hundreds, if not thousands, of people from friends and participants to employees and and workers of all kinds, knew or should have known about all the details of the sleaze and unlawful/immoral activities. And, continued on, even after it was revealed "the first time." That so many people participated, actively or passively, by standing by, is frightening. I'm amazed and saddened.
Can’t think of many things less interesting than the Epstein files knowing it’s not justice anyone seeks but merely gossip and smear material. I don’t see 10 years of “I do not recall” as compelling. A real concern is when you read about a $1.2 Trillion spending bill that’s “short term”. As trash continues to build up on the streets of NY and 16 + homeless people froze on sidewalks, we can only say, well………..
What in the hell is the obsession with Weimar about? Have these idiots been watching "Cabaret" on a loop? We've seen this before (remember Emporer's Club VIP?). It's nothing more than the continuing follies of rich perverts that stretches back to Caligula. The hyperventilating tone surrounding this dung heap is making me nauseous.
Ah.... The G&T program in New York Schools. They are going to find out that NO ONE in a Socialist society has either gifts *OR* talents... and those attributes are NOT to be admired, much less encouraged or nurtured. EVERYONE in a Socialist society gets to be mediocre!!
How sweet would it be at the super bowl during halftime if every time bad Bunny opened his mouth ten thousand whistles were to be blown to show solidarity with his comrades in Minneapolis? And the jumbotrons show pictures of Che who no doubt is a hero to the silly wabbit and so many others who have made clear that violence is acceptable to achieve THEIR political ends ( look up Che's commitment to due process by the way ). TFP might produce a brief article with stats and quotes and even photos to remind us all where the justification of violence leads.
Self respect is a vestige of white supremacy. Just like good manners and self restraint. Just ask those who teach CRT at Columbia. Get with the program.
While driving between job sites yesterday, I started listening to Nellie Bowles podcast with Suzy Weiss, Will Rahn, and Mene Ukueberuwa. I don't even know where to start. She kicks it off with Suzy and those two sound like two 7th graders fawning over the Grammy's. Then they jump on the Ye bandwagon and his latest apology to the Jewish people in the Wall Street Journal. Suzy states that the left doesn't believe that mental illness causes you to become antisemitic, so Ye's past comments couldn't be from that. After about 2 minutes, my eyes glazed over.....it was some of the most worthless slop I've ever heard.
Enter Will Rahn. Out of the gate, Nellie brings up Rahn's latest pieces (which was news to me) called 'The Straight-Male Case For...' Rahn covers important things to straight white men like......wait for it......Taylor Swift, Sex and the City, Body Positivity and Pilates. Nellie calls them 'Hit Articles'. Really? Tell ya what Nellie. I'll send you a list of 15 men that I'm friends with, and I'll pay you $10,000.00 if you can find one that has a read any of these 'hit articles', or who has even heard of Will Rahn for that matter. Then Rahn jumps into the election fraud by claiming right out of the gate none of it is true and its just some fantasy of Trump's and is headed up by our favorite 'Assad Toadie', Tulsi Gabbard at his direction. Its going to be pure gold when they actually uncover election fraud (and they will b/c Gabbard isn't one that chases shadows). They wrap it up with Nellie pretending she didn't know who Epstein was when she went to see him and was communicating with him.
And lets not leave out Mene Ukueberuwa who talks about how Trumps immigration plan has backfired and that the UAE investment into Trumps crypto company was a deal for them to get AI chips sold to them once Trump came into office. This BTW will 100% be the story that launches Trumps impeachment if the Democrats take power in the midterms (which it looks very likely they will).
I considered driving my truck into a bridge abutment, but opted to hold off until we see what this weeks TGIF covers.
My take on yesterday's N. Bowles livestream matches yours exactly... well at least as far as the three minutes of the blah-blah-blah I actually listened to.
(Side note... some enterprising TFP commenter ought to revisit all of Ms. Bowles' frequent Epstein-related TGIF commentary over the years... none of which ever mentioned she had personally met this a-hole face-to-face. Seems an odd oversight.)
Trump’s immigration plan has backfired in the same way that building the twin towers backfired. It’s amazing how simply enforcing the law can backfire when you combine Soviet-style Democrat News coverage with an army of traitorous crackpot mercenaries being mobilized by the Democrat Confederacy to sabotage the enforcement of the law.
It’s always tempting to blame the victims of evil perpetrators if you are on the side of the evil perpetrators. Am I right, TFP employees?
Thanks for enduring the agony of listening to what should be labeled "The Valley Girl Podcast" and concisely summarizing it so the rest of us wouldn't have to. You deserve a Purple Heart
I was, for a short time, a journalism major. Didn't have the nerve to stick to a story and knew it wasn't for me. I'm glad others follow the scent to the end with good, honest reporting. That was a good mea culpa Nellie. I appreciate it.
Save the space for something other than epstein . I will await the movie. Or will it be movies. Who will play Jeffy, and his many many rich and famous "friends ". Maybe just AI versions? Would his estate get any royalties? Or more importantly his lawyers ? Note to Netflix and Amazon and Speilberg : lots of money to be made from the greatest story of our times. Which will go away first: the epstein story or Hillary continuing to seek audiences and recognition. Speaking of Hillary who will play that role and how many different interpretations and theories will be set forth? So many questions, so few answers.
Indeed. I've been reading about Epstien since at least 2008, mostly on conspiracy type sites and blogs. No matter what the real truth behind it all is, we will never know. It won't be in the files and it certainly won't be investigated. If he was part of a honey pot type of operation, there is really no chance it will ever be revealed definitively. So it really is just a tabloid story at this point. No powerful and wealthy people will ever be held accountable, if indeed they should be, and it will sink beneath the waves of constant and never ending scandals that go nowhere.
I *really* wish TFP would lose that huge photo of Epstein that dominates their home page. It's just creepy to have to see, I can't scroll down fast enough.
The Free Press states the Epstein saga is the greatest scandal of our era. This reader disagrees. The greatest scandal of this baby boomers era is the gaslighting of the Biden administration in regards to lack of security at the border, the President’s capacity to lead, a presidential primary, and lawfare targeting a political opponent.
Epstein is dead & his cohort in prison. The settlement for Epstein’s 150 victims: $125 million from Epstein estate, $290 million from JP Morgan and $75 million from Deutsche Bank.
The Epstein saga is over. Sadly, the Biden saga may never be over.
I legitimately cannot walk outside my house anymore, in the suburbs, without hearing Spanish and Chinese. What Biden Co. did to destroy our culture by turning America into a land of a thousand tribes is unforgivable.
As far as the Epstein scandal goes, I would like to know the purpose of why he was gathering the rich and famous with sex with minors as the enticement? I think the sex with minors wasn't the full story behind Epstein. Follow the money. . .and why was a woman the only one in prison?
"Blood was discovered in the home of Nancy Guthrie, mother of Today show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie. The 84-year-old was reported missing around noon Sunday, according to local authorities. The sheriff’s department believes that Guthrie was abducted."
IF this wasn't Savannah Guthrie's (who apparently is someone famous I'm supposed to obsess with) Mother, would this be anything but a local story?
Point being if it was (say) Nancy Williams of Ft. Dodge KS, Would anyone know? But because it involves someone on TV...Big Story Now!
Let's face it, kidnappers don't ask millions in ransoms from people like us. I had never heard of Samantha Guthrie either, but that means nothing; others watch her on TV, she's therefore "famous," and that's why her mother was targeted.
As the saying goes, that's where the money is.
Famous or not, Ms. Guthrie has been deprived of her mother, who needs daily medication and might die. Her TV job is not her life. If it was me, I'd want to find the kidnappers and rip their limbs off. Probably Guthrie feels the same way.
One of the aspects of "The Epstein Files" that, after the facts of this mess are out and bantered about, is knowing that hundreds, if not thousands, of people from friends and participants to employees and and workers of all kinds, knew or should have known about all the details of the sleaze and unlawful/immoral activities. And, continued on, even after it was revealed "the first time." That so many people participated, actively or passively, by standing by, is frightening. I'm amazed and saddened.
This is what I think is important from the Epstein files, not the sex scandals.

I hope The Free Press investigates this topic.
For the most interesting comments scroll down to the end for Kevin Durant. He is worth the price of admission and is on fire today.
"for a mastectomy received as a teenager that she said left her disfigured."

At least they didn't say "allegedly."

Almost everyone. The betters among us are needed to show the great unwashed how to live.
How sweet would it be at the super bowl during halftime if every time bad Bunny opened his mouth ten thousand whistles were to be blown to show solidarity with his comrades in Minneapolis?

I have to wonder how any self-respecting man could go by the name "Bad Bunny."
Self respect is a vestige of white supremacy. Just like good manners and self restraint. Just ask those who teach CRT at Columbia. Get with the program.
Epstein, Epstein, Epstein,...
Russia, Russia, Russia,...
Blah, Blah, Blah,...
A sideshow to distract the rabble.

Thank you for this excellent recap, Evans. I was considering listening to this but had a hunch that it would be exactly as you described.
Trump’s immigration plan has backfired in the same way that building the twin towers backfired. It’s amazing how simply enforcing the law can backfire when you combine Soviet-style Democrat News coverage with an army of traitorous crackpot mercenaries being mobilized by the Democrat Confederacy to sabotage the enforcement of the law.

If you moved to Canada, they would put you out of your misery, quickly and painlessly. And explain to you that it was for your own good.

I vote for Kevin Spacey as Epstein. He's a fine actor and has a built-in creep factor now.
Obvious choice!
If that's the standard there are scores in tinsel town who could get the role. Many roles in fact
An excellent point.
Cue Meryl Streep.
I can’t possibly be the only person sick to death of reading about Epstein.

My thought EXACTLY!
This crap is reading like a National Enquirer - nothing will ever come of it.
I *really* wish TFP would lose that huge photo of Epstein that dominates their home page. It's just creepy to have to see, I can't scroll down fast enough.

You mean like it was before the European invasion in the 1600's?

Point is AT BEST this would be a 2 day story without Savannah Guthrie's (who apparently is someone famous I'm supposed to obsess with).
