Monster Post


It's another monster post. Both by the size of it, and the subject matter. There are real monsters out there roaming around.

Another 3 million documents from the Epstein Files, about half of the remaining files that the DOJ has been sitting on, have been released. Again, most of them heavily redacted.

It's an explosive tranche, and overwhelming. There are scores of people pouring over the documents, and the details are trickling out. Thank goodness for journalists and others who are going through them.

Here is the official DOJ site that contains the documents. 

Here is the New York Times's look (gift article).

Here is NPR's look

Many powerful men are being protected. The delay in the release, the selected release, and the redactions are shielding them. Not so much the survivors: there have been errors in redactions and some survivors' names and nude photos! were left unredacted. Some survivors had never spoken out; even their families did not know. Now, the world knows. Shame on the DOJ.

A handful of Members of Congress got to see the unreacted documents. They emerged, to a person, shaken.

Here are some of the reactions.

Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D - N.M.):

Stansbury brought this one to our attention. It's a powerpoint presentation of the investigation to date and the awful stuff uncovered in the investigation. Check out slide 18.



Rep. Jamie Raskin (D - Md.) told us that there are 1,000,000 references to T**** in the 3 million pages of files that have been released. 

One. Million. References. To. T****.

And there are 3 million more pages to be released.

Here is Raskin, speaking about what he saw:

Key quote: 
"We need to be investigating the money, we need to be investigating the organizational hierarchy. There's no way you run a billion-dollar international child sex trafficking ring with just two people committing crimes, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. No way. It doesn't work like that. So we need to figure out what other conspiracies were involved, what other co-conspirators were involved. And I really do believe that listening to the survivors is going to be our pathway through this nightmare."
Follow the money. Listen to the survivors

Rep. Becca Balint (D - Vt.):
Here she is in a hallway interview, calling them "sick fucks."

Rep. Ted Lieu (D - Calif.) did not mince words. He plainly said that there are allegations of djt "raping children."


And here is another reaction from Rep. Balint:


Lastly, the two leaders of the mission to get to the truth, Reps. Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna, spoke after they reviewed the documents. They said there are "six men" who are incriminated.


Deputy A.G. Todd Blanche has said outright that the DOJ is not going to prosecute any American person. 

Why the hell not? He says he wants justice for the survivors, but he won't seek it because, "that doesn’t mean we can just create evidence or that we can just kind of come up with a case that isn’t there."

Six-plus million pages of evidence, reviewed only for redaction purposes over the last few months. No interviews with survivors. No questioning any of the alleged perpetrators. No questioning witnesses. No attempts to organize the plethora of evidence. 

So much work, why bother?

There's simply no desire to seek justice for survivors or accountability for dozens, if not hundreds, of powerful, rich men.

Meanwhile, heads are rolling in Europe over the mess. Powerful men in other countries also were tied up in the atrocities, and even tangential associations are coming to bear.

You can read more about that:



In France they are moving forward with a special prosecutor to investigate. Pressure your Members of Congress to do the same! In the meantime, perhaps other countries' investigations will bring some justice.


The two people that Congress does want to question? Bill and Hillary Clinton, of course. 

After resisting the subpoena, the Clintons have agreed to testify. This is the first time a former president has been subpoenaed to testify. They were pushing for public hearings, but the agreement is that it will be videotaped behind closed doors and transcripts will be released.

They will appear on February 26 and 27.

It will set a precedent, and may lead the way to T**** himself testifying.


AG Scam Bondi testy-fied in front of Congress.
Wowsa was she testy!

It was just disgusting. This person is the Attorney General? Nope. Instead of being The People's attorney, she is acting as the personal attorney and attack dog for her boss.

It was abusive, pure and simple. She interrupted, yelled, deflected, blamed, attacked, obfuscated, ridiculed. She even brought a "burn book" with insults custom made for each Member, as well as a list of search terms that at least one Member had used when they went to DOJ to view the unredacted files.

Who else felt it?


How many argumentative fallacies did she employ? All of them.

She testy-fied for six hours in front of Congress with all the evil filth she could muster. 

Here is the whole 4-hour session in front of the House Judiciary Committee, and I've got snippets below.



Here she is, performing for an audience of one. 

This is utterly deranged behavior from a U.S. attorney general

Here's another compilation. She's disgusting.


She was laughed down as she pulled the Dow Jones Industrial Average out of her ass:


Rep. Balint. "My apologies. I couldn't tell."

REP. BALINT: “This is not a game, Secretary!” BONDI: “I’m Attorney General.” REP. BALINT: “My apologies. I couldn’t tell.” 🔥

The interaction with Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D - Wash.). When asked to apologize to the survivors of Epstein's ring, she refused to even look at them. 

Smug asshole.


Here's Rep. Ted Lieu's (D - Calif.) questioning.


The document he is referring to is this. Trigger warning. Please take care in reading.





Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D - Texas) is ðŸ”¥ðŸ”¥ðŸ”¥


Unrelated to Epstein but a nexus to how corrupt this regime and this high-heeled general is. 

Rep. Joe Neguse (D - Colo.) asked about a January 6 insurrectionist who is now working for the DOJ:


In the end, Scammy got the 5-star review that she was aiming for.




Me these days. 

This creator is becoming one of my favorites.

Tyrant Talk
FBI search of Fulton County elections offices telegraphs a larger push for federalization of the elections
He still holds a grudge over his loss in 2020, so his FBI seized ballots from Fulton County (Atlanta area) in Georgia. You remember he called up Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and asked him to find 11,780 more votes. 

Look at these tweets:





Kristi Noem wants to insure that "the right people" elect "the right leaders." Firstly, Puppy Killer, you are DHS. You are wayyyy out of your lane. Secondly, WTAF?

Folks, if you haven't already realized, this is fascism.

Watch her here. If you can stomach it.

Kristi Noem: "When it gets to Election Day, we've been proactive to make sure we have the right people voting, electing the right leaders to lead this country."

Let's get this straight. The states and only the states have the power to conduct elections as they see fit. There is no nationalizing our elections. Finally! The Left gets to shout "States' Rights!" loudly. 

His regular dose of Dictator Doting:
This is not normal.


From the "Let's go after our enemies" files
  • Independent journalist Don Lemon was arrested and indicted. Read the indictment here
Lemon had previously worked for CNN but now runs his own media company. Maybe this is the reason he was targeted. No deep pockets for the regime to contend with.

Still, the regime will have to contend with the law. Lemon has First Amendment rights, and I am sure he will prevail. 

The regime claims that during his presence at the recent protest at a Minneapolis church, where the service was interrupted, Lemon interfered with the First Amendment rights of the church-goers and their freedom to express their religion. 

Hogwash. He was there as a journalist. I'm sure any jury will see that. And thanks to T****'s Streisand-effecting the shit out of it, Lemon is more popular than ever.

  • T**** sued Harvard for $1 billion in "damages" that occurred when Harvard allegedly continued to use affirmative action policies in their admissions. 


ICE Atrocities
I outline just a couple tidbits today from the hundreds of stories from coast to coast. 
  • Weal Mehar died. He was a disabled Texas man who depended on his dad, Maher Tarabishi, to provide 24/7 care. Weal was a citizen. His dad was not, but he had a waiver to stay in the U.S. to act as primary caregiver for his son.
ICE came and seized Dad, leaving Weal to fend for himself. His condition rapidly deteriorated and Weal died less than three months after his dad had been kidnapped. Dad was still detained and not able to attend his funeral. 

  • We all saw the heartbreaking photo of little Liam Conejo Ramos in Minneapolis. 


  • Liam was a five-year-old preschooler when he and his dad were detained. The gestapo took Liam to his home's front door, using him as bait to lure other adults out of the house so they could grab them.
Liam and his dad were held for 10 days until a judge finally ordered them released.

  • Devastating conditions, as witnessed by Rep. Jamie Raskin:

  • ProPublica obtained letters from children who had been detained. You can read them here.

Li'l play Nazi Greg Bovino is off the job completely

He was sent away from Minnesota back to his hole in Arizona. He is expected to retire. 

He has been replaced in the Minnesota "theater" by Tom Homan. Is he better? Nope. He uses war jargon to describe the events in Minnesota. He is a corrupt, bribe-taking fool, and he is as racist and as hateful as the rest of them. 

Another boat was blown out of the water
This is the fourth one (that we know of) this year. Three people were murdered. I believe this brings us to 39 total attacks, with at least 133 deaths. 

When can we get that Hague courtroom warmed up?

 
Saying it out loud.
MAGAts took this quote from Ilhan Omar: "In Somalia we kill pedophiles" and validated the hell out of what we believe to be true:

Headline: "Ilhan Omar Calls to Execute President Trump"



Rep. Thomas Massie (R - Ky.) is the only Republican Member of Congress to speak loudly against the regime. He co-sponsored the bill to bring the Epstein files to light, and has been the only one on that side to try to uncover the truth.  

This is what he posted yesterday. Where the hell are we? Is this real life in the United States of America?!



Other Shitty Shit That We Have Going On

Murderers in Minneapolis named
Finally, the men who murdered Alex Pretti were finally named. They are Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

Really? Brown people doing these atrocities? I don't get it.

They haven't faced much accountability. As far as I can see, the two have been put on administrative leave, but that's about it. I don't see how this DOJ will move to bring them to justice. Maybe the state of Minnesota will have more luck, but so far there's been nothing. 

The surge in Minneapolis is ending


Tom Homan announced that most of the gestapo is leaving Minneapolis this month. 

Thank you, Minnesotans, for braving the cold and turning out day after day with whistles and cell phone, signs and chants, and superhuman resolve to push back against this authoritarian terror campaign.

Though ICE is leaving Minnesota, the rest of the world is not out of their (literal) scope finders. 

Wired has reported that there are plans for incursions from coast to coast. They are leasing buildings and organizing infrastructure in dozens of communities. From Wired:
In El Paso, Texas, for example, the agency is moving into a large campus of buildings right off of Interstate 10 near multiple local health providers and other businesses. In Irvine, California, ICE is moving into offices located next to a childcare agency. In New York, ICE is moving into offices on Long Island near a passport center. In a wealthy community near Houston, Texas, ICE appears poised to move into an office building blocks away from a preschool.

BY EARLY NOVEMBER, according to documents viewed by WIRED, 19 projects had been awarded in cities around the US, including Nashville, Tennessee; Dallas, Texas; Sacramento, California; and Tampa, Florida. Multiple projects were days away from being awarded in Miami, Florida; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; and New Orleans, Louisiana, among others, and emergency requests for short-term space had been made in eight cities, including Atlanta, Georgia; Baltimore, Maryland; Boston, Massachusetts; and Newark, New Jersey.

In documents viewed by WIRED, ICE has repeatedly outlined its expansion to cities around the US. The September memorandum citing “unusual and compelling urgency” for office expansion states that OPLA will be “expanding its legal operations” into Birmingham, Alabama; Fort Lauderdale, Fort Myers, Jacksonville, and Tampa, Florida; Des Moines, Iowa; Boise, Idaho; Louisville, Kentucky; Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Grand Rapids, Michigan; St. Louis, Missouri; Raleigh, North Carolina; Long Island, New York; Columbus, Ohio; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Charleston and Columbia, South Carolina; Nashville, Tennessee; Richmond, Virginia; Spokane, Washington and Coeur d’Alene, Idaho; and Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

The One Bloated Ugly Bill, remember, set a $170 billion budget for ICE. According to the Brennan Center, "that is more than the yearly budget for all local and state law enforcement agencies combined across the entire United States." The Cato Institute tells us that the immigration inforcement budget surpasses the budgets of ATF, DHS, DOJ, DEA, Secret Service, and FBI put together. Unless Congress can act to claw some of that money back, ICE isn't going anywhere.



Still.... We the People are strong. And many.

I flew across the country recently, and as I looked down, I was reminded: there are more of us than there are of them. Be ready to hit the streets, my friend. We must stand up and push back. 


The Racist-in-Chief hit a new low
It was sickening, and not at all surprising for this disinhibited, racist idiot. He posted a video that depicted Michele and Barack Obama as apes. There was immediate outrage from everyone. It was finally taken town after about 12 hours. 

There was no apology. In fact, when he was asked about an apology, he said, "I didn't make a mistake."

He blamed an unnamed staffer who posted it. Sure. At 11:44pm, some sundowning rando posted an offensive, racist video to Dear Leader's "Truth" Social account. 
 

Renovations cover up corruption
After a trove of artists cancelled their appearances at the Kennedy Center in protest of the renaming scheme, T**** announced the sudden urgent need for extensive renovations to the Center. Nevermind that it underwent renovations just a few years ago, in 2019. 

Applications for bribes are now being taken.

In related news, some golfers are suing over threats that T**** will take over a 100-year-old public D.C.-area golf course. 


A Team GB winter Olympian pee'd a message
Freestyle skier Gus Kenworthy, who is competing for Great Britain but who previously competed for Team USA, pee'd a message in the snow at the Olympic Village: "Fuck ICE."


Firstly, that's some impressive pee writing! Well done, sir! 

Secondly, I love his message. He didn't stop with Fuck ICE. He encouraged civic engagement and pointed people to the way to contact their Senators. 

Another Olympian, skier Hunter Hess, spoke his truth about being conflicted over representing the USA. He expressed that he had "mixed emotions." Tell me if these aren't the gentlest, most benign words about it. I don't think I could have been so diplomatic. He said:
"It brings up mixed emotions to represent the U.S. right now, I think. It's a little hard. There’s obviously a lot going on that I’m not the biggest fan of and I think a lot of people aren't.
I think for me, it’s more I’m representing my, like, friends and family back home, the people that represented it before me, all the things that I believe are good about the U.S. I just think if it aligns with my moral values, I feel like I’m representing it."

Someone was so triggered that he had to push a nonTweet about it:



What a child.

Of course, both of these athletes – and others who have spoken out – put their own safety at risk when they spoke out. T****'s minions have no qualms about threatening them with violence.


The Moron Regime
Ok, who caught this few-hour crisis in El Paso?

The FAA issued a sudden closure of the airspace over El Paso, crying that there would be a 10-day ban on all air activity! Including medical airlifts and commercial flights! Nooooow!

WTF? Are we invading Mexico? Is Mexico invading us? What's going on? No one knew, including the FAA, airport personnel, and Rep. Veronica Escobar who represents the area.

Nevermind! Was the call a few minutes later. Nothing to see here! Ignore the morons behind the curtain!

The initial coverup lie was set by Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy who said on nonTwitter that the FAA and the Defense Department "acted swiftly to address a cartel drone incursion. The threat has been neutralized and there is no danger to commercial travel in the region."

Never mind that these types of drones are fairly commonplace since at least 2010 and have never caused a major issue in the past. 

The truth of the matter is that a rum-soaked TV star who happens to be at the helm of the most powerful war machine on the planet had hatched plans to test a new drone-busting laser system. 

So, he and Border Patrol went ahead and did it. Without the FAA's knowledge. Over El Paso's busy airspace.

But the kicker? It wasn't drones they targeted at all. They caused an emergency shutdown of El Paso's airspace to shoot down wayward balloons from someone's birthday party. 

Hell, who hasn't confused a drug cartel drone with a party balloon, amirite?
 
Morons!



And this from Laura Loomer. Seriously. A moron:


Moron toadies:
No longer part of government, but still a racist moron trying to play a role. Elmo posted this. So, so wrong.


I could go on and on about how moronic this post is, but my readers are smart and know.


Second Amendment Talk
I wrote about the Second Amendment in a recent post concerning the murder of Alex Pretti. Shortly after I published, I became aware of a couple more contortions of T****'s supposed love of the Second Amendment.

He has invoked the Second Amendment when it suits his needs to harm his opponents. Remember this? His "Second Amendment people" solution to ridding the world of Hillary Clinton's Supreme Court picks. Or maybe ridding the world of Hillary Clinton. 

After Pretti's murder, when it became apparent that Pretti had been lawfully carrying a firearm, he said, "You can't have guns. You can't walk in with guns." Watch it here.

His wine-soaked U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia said in a FAUX News interview, "You bring a gun into the district, you mark my words, you're going to jail. I don't care if you have a license in another district, and I don't care if you're a law-abiding gun owner somewhere else. You bring a gun into this district, count on going to jail and hope you get the gun back."

Holy gun rights, Batman!

The Dementia Diary
He had another speech glitch that everyone is talking about. 
He tripped over his sounds when he tried to say the word undisputed

(Just a technical note. Creators are calling this a "phonemic paraphasia," but to my ear, it isn't. It is his dysarthria combined with some apraxic (motor-programming) errors)


Speaking of "beautiful clean coal," the Easily Manipulated Baby Man was given another participation trophy, this time for "Undisputed Champion of Beautiful Clean Coal," gifted to him by industry leaders.

Sooooo impressive. 

He hasn't been playing as much golf lately. 
People noticed that he took about three weeks off from the links. For a man who spent 261 days and $151.5 million on golf in his first term and 97 rounds and $135.8 million in the first year of this go-round, going three weeks without a game is notable. 

People have also noticed that his daily schedule has been awfully light lately.

LSR can vouch for that look.


The Washington Post continues its slide into oblivion
Jeff Bezos caused a "bloodbath" by firing 300 Post staffers, about a third of the total staff, and by eliminating several features, including Books and Sports. One of the richest men on earth, he could infuse a fraction of his wealth to keep the paper relevant, but he prefers slash and burn. It's so sad. 

Melania movie propaganda piece
Lordt. Jeff Bezos paid $75 million in bribes to fund and distribute this vapid documentary. 

It was universally panned and was the laughingstock of the country when it showed to mostly empty theaters.

I'll let the memes speak.













Just a couple more notes about the Super Bowl Halftime Show
The Production value! Oh my! It really was amazing how they packed so much into such a short time, all the while complying with the restrictions on how they used the field. Using human beings as grass was brilliant. The cinematography was brilliant. It felt like a little movie. The story line was brilliant: I loved the wedding. It all went off without a hitch, and the producers should feel very proud.

Green Day rocked the pre-game show that included, fittingly, "American Idiot."

The alternative show produced by Turning Point USA was (reportedly; I wouldn't be caught dead watching, even in the name of research) dreadful, with Kid Rock strutting around, poorly lip synching in his jorts.

It's always dreadful. I found this article in The Guardian that tries to explain it: "From Melania to Kid Rock’s halftime show: why is Maga art so dreadful?

The awfulness spawned ridicule.

Positives - There are many
  • Minneapolitans kept showing up, even in sub-zero temperatures, to protest ICE's presence in their city. Let us all take inspiration from them when it comes time to protect our own city.
St. Paul, MN
  • There were no indictments handed down in the government's case against the lawmakers that appeared in the Don't Follow Illegal Orders video. In fact, this is one on top of a pyramid of indictments grand juries have declined to sign. The Hill looks at all of these and talks about the rarity of "no bills" from grand juries. It's a good sign that serious citizens are not buying what the regime is selling. 
  • The Satanic Temple had a win in Boston. Their bid to fly their flag at City Hall was unlawfully rejected, according to U.S. District Judge Angel Kelley. The Satanic Temple is great at fighting fire with fire and asserting religious rights where religion should have no place, like at freaking City Hall. 
  • Protests pop up all over, like this one in Santa Barbara, California.

  • There was a big Blue win in Texas this month. It was a huge flip for a state Senate seat. Democrat Taylor Rehmet handily won the seat that had been Red almost 50 years and who voted for T**** in the last election by a margin of 17 points. This was on top of Democrat Christian Menefee's win for a Texas Congressional seat. The dam holding up the blue wave is starting to crack. Redistrict all you want, Texas. The People will rebel anyway.  
The midterms are less than nine months away, friends. Hang in there. We can do this thing.

  • Something fun. I was looking on our local Indivisible group's website, and saw my protest sign (bottom right) at the October No Kings rally!
