Bill Gates Nervously LAUGHS as He Denies Going to Friend Jeffrey Epstein’s Island… Despite His Ties to Dead Pedophile Financier

/6 Comments/in , /by

By Daily Mail. Bill Gates nervously chuckled as he denied ever going to his friend Jeffrey Epstein’s infamous island, despite his strong ties to the dead pedophile.

The tech billionaire talked about Epstein and other topics, including his thoughts on artificial intelligence, during an NBC Meet the Press interview that aired on Sunday.

Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft, appeared frazzled and nervously laughed when discussing his relationship with the disgraced financier.

‘I really appreciated the chance to go in front of Congress and make it clear, uh, you know, to go through every meeting I have with him- which is about 10 meetings over a couple-year period,’ he told journalist Kristen Welker.

In June, he attended a closed-door deposition before the House Oversight Committee regarding his connection to Epstein.

Gates continued to stumble over his words at times, telling Welker: ‘I never, there were never any women in those meetings, there’s nothing financially, I never went to the island or anything like that.

Jeffrey Epstein’s Secret Child Image Collection Could Involve ‘Thousands’ of Unidentified Victims, Explosive Lawsuit Claims

By Radar Online. Jeffrey Epstein’s massive collection of child sexual abuse material could involve “thousands” of unidentified victims – including people who may have no idea their childhood images were allegedly in the convicted s– offender’s possession, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

The stunning claims are at the center of a new class-action lawsuit filed against the co-executors of Epstein’s estate. The predator pleaded guilty in Florida in 2008 to charges including procuring a person under 18 for prostitution.

According to court records reviewed by Radar, two women identified as Jane Doe and “Amy” filed the lawsuit against Epstein’s longtime attorney Darren Indyke and accountant Richard Kahn in Manhattan federal court.

The women allege Epstein possessed, obtained, and distributed child sexual abuse material for decades, and are now demanding a court-supervised effort to identify the people depicted in the collection.

Attorney Hillary Nappi, who represents the plaintiffs, said the proposed class could potentially include “thousands” of people and claimed most individuals pictured in Epstein’s collection have never been identified.

Jack Smith’s Team Ignored Attorney-Client And Speech Or Debate Privileges To Get Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

“I ignored the written description of filtering the other night,” Molly Gaston messaged her fellow federal prosecutor, J.P. Cooney, in the early days of the post-2020 election targeting of President Donald Trump, documents obtained exclusively by The Federalist reveal. “Me too,” Cooney replied, showing that two of the attorneys whom Jack Smith would later choose to lead the special counsel team disregarded rules when judged “not tenable.” And additional documents whistleblowers provided Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, confirm the special counsel office ignored the protocol established to protect privileged documents.

Monday afternoon, in advance of Jack Smith’s Tuesday testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, The Federalist is publishing a cache of documents it obtained exclusively from Grassley, in advance of their public release. These new documents provide further evidence that the Biden Administration and Special Counsel Jack Smith weaponized the Justice Department.

The first incriminating document consists of what a representative from Grassley’s office confirmed included text exchanges between two prosecutors in the D.C. U.S. attorney’s office from February of 2021. Those communications came soon after Biden’s inauguration and while Tim Thibault remained a key player pushing for an investigation into Trump.

Cooney opened the relevant exchange by asking Gaston “how confusing/bad was the filter guidance? I’m sitting in another call, but am getting pinged that it is a bit of a cluster.”

The referenced “filter guidance” concerned the DOJ’s directions to prosecutors and agents for the handling of documents being reviewed as part of their investigation, where the materials included — or potentially included — privileged materials, such as communications with an attorney. To properly protect privileged communications, when documents may include privileged material, the DOJ requires those documents to be sequestered from the investigative and prosecuting team, with a “filter” or “taint” team reviewing the documents to redact or withhold any protected communications from prosecutors.

Fox News Hires Ex-Cuomo Aide Who Admitted To Covering Up Nursing Home Deaths

/0 Comments/in , /by

Fox News hired a former top aide to Andrew Cuomo who admitted to covering up New York State’s nursing home deaths during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Melissa DeRosa will join Fox as a contributor and co-host of a new podcast, “The Girls,” which will debut Oct. 1, Fox News Media said in a press release Monday. DeRosa served in Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s administration until resigning in August 2021 amid allegations that the governor “sexually harassed” government employees.

Earlier that year, DeRosa admitted on a conference call with Democratic lawmakers that the Cuomo administration covered up the number because they feared the scandal would be politicized by then-President Donald Trump, who could use the Department of Justice to launch a probe.

“He starts tweeting that we killed everyone in nursing homes,” DeRosa said, according to the New York Post. “He starts going after [then-New Jersey Gov. Phil] Murphy, starts going after [California Gov. Gavin] Newsom, starts going after [Michigan Gov.] Gretchen Whitmer.”

“We were in a position where we weren’t sure if what we were going to give to the Department of Justice, or what we give to you guys, what we start saying, was going to be used against us while we weren’t sure if there was going to be an investigation,” DeRosa said.

‘We Want Islam For This Country’: Muslims In Texas Lay Out Vision For Islamic America

/0 Comments/in , /by

Shaykh Uthman ibn Farooq laid out a vision for an Islamic America during a livestreamed event at the Sufaraa Center in McKinney, Texas, last week. Authentic Ilm Mission, which hosted the event, has plans for a 40,000-square-foot facility near Plano, Texas, and used the livestream featuring Farooq to fundraise for the multipurpose school and Islamic community center.

“We love this country,” Farooq said. “We want good for this country. And that’s why we want Islam for this country, ’cause we think that’s the best thing. And we’re not going to be ashamed of that.”

He went on to argue that Muslims are fully within their constitutional rights to adhere to Sharia law. “We’re Muslims. That’s our identity, and there’s nothing wrong with that. The Constitution of this country protects that. That’s our right to believe in the Sharia. Yes, I said it. That’s our right.”

“There’s communists that believe in communism and live in America,” Farooq continued. “The current mayor of New York is a socialist. Bernie Sanders is open socialist. … Our president — I don’t know what the, what he is actually. I don’t think he knows what he is. … But he has that right according to the Constitution. … There are Satanists. There’s a church of Satan. I’ve debated them.”

Farooq works with the One Message Foundation and is a viral social media influencer. His Instagram and YouTube pages boast 430,000 and 1.4 million followers, respectively. The One Message Foundation’s homepage says it, together with other groups, converted nearly 1,500 individuals to Islam during the World Cup. Farooq’s social media videos feature his commentary speaking of polygamy as legitimate and speculating that President Donald Trump may be an evil spirit.

Russia Paying US Recruits $26,000 to Become Cannon Fodder in Ukraine War

/0 Comments/in , /by

Russia is recruiting frontline troops for its war against Ukraine any way it can, and has duped at least 18 US men into fighting.

Moscow has suffered 1.5 million casualties including 500,000 deaths since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, per estimates from the UK, and aggressively enlists foreigners to prop up its war effort.

Most are sent into the “meatgrinder” — the frontlines where they are mostly cannon fodder, quickly mowed down by Ukrainian drones, soldiers or artillery.

“It has become an entire industry and is very profitable. Russia suffers 30,000–40,000 casualties every month and they are no longer able to cover their losses,” Vitaliy Matvienko, who heads a Ukrainian state project on Russian surrenders, told The Post.

“They recruit foreigners, send them to war, and when they are killed, their deaths do not create any negative reaction in Russian society. In most cases, the families of killed foreign recruits do not receive the compensation they are supposed to receive.”

Agents all around the world have been mobilized and use targeted ads on Facebook, TikTok and Telegram to prey on the poor, vulnerable and ideologically obsessed — earning $24,000 per recruit, plus a cut of their salary.

A dedicated dad of two was knocked to the ground and killed when a bicyclist rammed into him during his morning walk to work in Central Park last week, his family and police said.

Richie O’Brien, 41, strolled through the iconic green space on the way to his steamfitter job during the dawn hours of Sept. 23, when the cyclist pedaling north on the park’s East Drive near East 84th Street struck him, according to the NYPD and a fundraiser launched by his loved ones.

The impact threw O’Brien to the ground and caused severe head trauma, for which medics rushed him to Weill Cornell Medical Center. He succumbed to his injuries on Sunday, his family said.

“Although our hearts are broken by this unimaginable loss, Richie’s legacy will live on,” his family posted on a GoFundMe page.

Kin described O’Brien as “a proud Local 638 Steamfitter who went to work every day to provide for his family and give his wife, Ronni, and their two daughters, Kylie and Mia, the life they deserve.”

Kylie and Mia are 12 and 8 years old, respectively. (Read more from “Dedicated Dad of 2 Killed by Central Park Bicyclist During Walk to Work” HERE)

The Kids Are Alright: Data Finds Young Teens Less Likely To Identify As Gay

/0 Comments/in , /by

New data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) show that fewer high school-aged Americans are identifying as lesbian, gay, or bisexual (LGB).

The decline is largely driven by young women. According to the CDC’s Youth Risk Survey of U.S. 9th to 12th graders in 2025, there is a relative decline in LGB identification across each grade compared to two years earlier, according to a breakdown of the findings by San Diego State University psychology professor Jean Twenge.

Seniors, ranging in age from 17 to 18, had the highest rate of LGB identification among the four grades measured, with 16 percent identifying as LGB. However, that was still two percentage points below the rate among seniors surveyed in 2023.

Each grade had a lower rate of LGB identification in 2025 than in 2023, with younger grades showing a decline. New data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) show that fewer high school-aged Americans are identifying as lesbian, gay, or bisexual (LGB).

The 9th graders, aged 14 and 15, had the lowest rate of LGB identification and the largest drop from previous years. While the CDC found that 17 percent of 9th graders identified as LGB in 2023, only 11 percent did in 2025.

Hospitals Used AI To Inflate Medical Bills By Nearly $1,000,000,000, Report Finds

/0 Comments/in , /by

Hospitals’ use of artificial intelligence tools hiked healthcare spending by nearly $1 billion over a two-year period, per a Blue Cross Blue Shield Association analysis released Thursday.

BCBSA’s new study shows that a major rise in patients being documented as having complex conditions led to $942 million in additional medical care costs for Blue Cross and Blue Shield (BCBS) companies between 2023 and ‌2025.

The study “raises concerns” that the widespread adoption of AI coding tools is driving higher healthcare spending in the U.S., which “ultimately puts pressure on premiums and out-of-pocket expenses for families, employers and taxpayers,” according to BCBSA’s report. The research looked at secondary diagnoses such as anemia after major bowel surgery.

“If patients are truly sicker, we’d expect to see more treatment,” BCBSA Senior Vice President of Product and Data Science Luke Chalker said in a statement. “For example, we’re seeing significantly more anemia diagnoses at these hospitals without a corresponding increase in transfusions.”

“The disconnect between diagnoses and treatment suggests that AI is identifying more billable conditions, not sicker patients,” Chalker continued.

Trump Junks Biden’s Title IX Rules, Now Defines Sex by Biology

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Department of Education said Monday it will formally remove the Biden administration’s Title IX regulations and restore rules issued during President Donald Trump’s first term.

The change takes effect Tuesday. Under the final rule issued Monday, the Education Department’s anti-discrimination policy will recognize sex as male or female at birth. It formally removes Biden-era regulations that extended protections based on sexual orientation and gender identity to students and employees at federally funded schools.

The 2024 rules also forced schools to use transgender students’ pronouns and changed how schools handle harassment complaints. A federal court struck down the rules in January 2025.

The Education Department then told schools it would enforce the 2020 rules. Monday’s action puts that change into the published federal regulations; schools have already been operating under the earlier rules. (Read more from “Trump Junks Biden’s Title IX Rules, Now Defines Sex by Biology” HERE)

Trump: U.S. Will Win Iran War ‘Very Soon’ as Mediated Talks Continue — ‘One Way or the Other’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump said Monday the war with Iran will end with a U.S. victory “very soon,” declaring the outcome will be decided “one way or the other” as Washington and Tehran remain engaged through mediators over a potential agreement addressing the Strait of Hormuz and Iran’s nuclear program.

After confirming that his team had been in contact with Iran through mediators earlier Monday, Trump told reporters in the Oval Office that he expected the standoff to be resolved quickly.

“We’re going to win,” Trump said. “As far as I’m concerned, it’s going to be one way or the other. And it’s going to go pretty quickly.”

The renewed diplomacy comes days after Trump rejected an Iranian proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days in exchange for a series of U.S. concessions, including lifting the naval blockade and easing economic pressure on Tehran.

Qatari officials were shuttling between the two sides Monday, with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi meeting the intermediaries in New York as negotiations continued without direct U.S.-Iranian talks.
