Over the past few weeks, I wrote a few pieces pointing out the absurdity
of the media’s coverage of the Jeffrey Epstein travesty.

For the opening act, the major networks and papers were really interested.
Why? Because there was a member of Trump’s administration that worked on Epstein’s sweetheart plea deal. That was all the hook the media needed to
make the story about Donald Trump.

But then something happened. Alex Acosta resigned and the hook was gone. Suddenly, the media didn’t care anymore. The story died overnight because
there was no longer a vehicle to attack Trump, so who cares, right?

A little less than a week later, they had their hook again though. A meaningless, irrelevant video emerged showing Donald Trump dancing
awkwardly at a party in 1992 and it suddenly put Epstein back on the front page. You see, Trump had briefly conversed with Epstein at this party,
along with hundreds of other people. Scandalous right? It didn’t matter
that no relevant connections between Epstein and Trump actually existed.
Yes, they knew each other. Epstein also knew every other member of New
York high society. In fact, Trump would ban Epstein from his resort over a decade later after he was made aware of predatory conduct. Not only that,
he went to the police and helped the victim. What a monster.

While the media were laser focused on whatever they could do to make
Epstein’s evil an Orange Man Bad story, the real news continued to be
ignored. Namely, that Bill Clinton had been on Epstein’s plane multiple
times, without secret service, and with underage girls on board. This got
a slight mention in a Vanity Fair piece, which inexplicably focused on
Donald Trump being told there were picture of Clinton on Epstein’s
pedophile island. You’d think the big news wouldn’t be Trump being told
that but that there were possibly pictures of Clinton on an island famous
for sex trafficking and child rape. But nah, Vanity Fair didn’t even push
the issue. They published Clinton’s denial and went back to riffing
irrelevancy about Trump.

Perhaps the tide is turning though. Today, we’ve finally got a major media outlet doing some investigative work on the connections between Epstein
and Clinton.

If you’ll recall, the former President put out this statement a few weeks
back.

Statement on Jeffrey Epstein.

Now, we already know Clinton is lying about the flights, as the logs do
not match up with what he says and that there were at least seven flights
taken without his staff and secret service. That seems like a pretty big
deal, but the media (outside of a few conservative outlets) hasn’t touched
it for obvious reasons.

Further though, Clinton’s statement gives the impression that he barely
knew Epstein and that their relationship was limited. He lists his only
other encounter as being a brief meeting in 2002.

Surprise, surprise, according to The Daily Beast, Clinton lied again.

How Epstein entered Clinton’s orbit remains unclear. When the president released his initial statement on Epstein, he did not explain the multiple other trips he appears to have taken on the financier’s plane—including
one flight to Westchester with Epstein, his alleged madam Ghislaine
Maxwell, and an “unnamed female.”

Clinton also failed to mention the intimate 1995 fundraising dinner at the
Palm Beach home of Revlon mogul Ron Perelman, where Clinton hobnobbed with
the likes of Epstein, Don Johnson, and Jimmy Buffett. (Nearby, at
Epstein’s own Palm Beach mansion, the money man allegedly abused hundreds
of underage girls.)

The two were clearly chummy by the early Clinton Foundation years, as
attested to by a 2002 photo of Epstein and Clinton in Brunei that appeared
in Vicky Ward’s 2003 profile of the financier. In a 2002 piece for New
York magazine about the Africa trip, Clinton praised Epstein as a “highly successful financier and a committed philanthropist.”

Not only were Epstein and Clinton far more connected in 2002 than his
statement indicated, they were palling around in the 1990s as well.

Documents in the Clinton Library, however, attest to much earlier links
between Maxwell, Epstein, and the Clinton White House.

In late September of 1993, Bill and Hillary Clinton hosted a reception for supporters who had contributed to recent White House renovations. The
nearly $400,000 overhaul—which included new gold draperies and a 13-color
woven rug for the Oval Office—was funded entirely by donations to the
White House Historical Association, a private organization that helps
preserve and promote the White House as a historical monument…

…Guests for the event, according to the invitation list, included the journalist and philanthropist Barbara Goldsmith, heiress Jane Engelhard, political consultant Cynthia Friedman, and “Mr Jeffrey Epstein and Ms. Ghislaine Maxwell.” Epstein and Maxwell do not appear on the ‘regret
list,’ and there is a letter ‘A’ next to both of their names, indicating
they planned to attend. A press release from the event, put out by Hillary Clinton’s office, lists Epstein as a White House Historical Association
donor.

Clinton’s relationship with Epstein was not just in passing. It wasn’t a conversation at a party. It was extensive. The facts directly contradict
what Clinton told the media just a few weeks ago. Yet, not a single media outlet has bothered to question him or his wife on the discrepancies.
Until this Daily Beast report, we hadn’t even got any investigative
reporting into it. Instead we got full throated parroting of his
narrative. As I’ve said before, it’s good to be a Democrat.

All of these earlier contacts would lead us to the 2010’s where Clinton
would be a guest at least 26 times on Epstein’s plane. As I noted earlier,
on those manifests were names of underage girls who would later be
revealed as victims of Epstein. Are we to believe Bill Clinton just didn’t notice them? Further, Bill Clinton has a ton of money. Why would he need Jeffrey Epstein to fly him around? Even more disturbing, one victim
actually pinpoints Clinton as being on Epstein’s island where some of the
worst abuse took place.

The Daily Beast has, to their credit, gathered some new evidence to show
that Clinton is being dishonest here. Will the media run with it and
demand answers or will they sweep this back under the rug? My money is on
the latter.

November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look
forward to America being great again.

We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
stupid people won't be offended.

Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.

Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama
/ Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.
