No Surprise: Dan Bongino Hosts Kash Patel For Interview — But They Ignore Epstein Files

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino hosted FBI Director Kash Patel for a 23-minute interview on “The Dan Bongino Show” Wednesday, during which they did not discuss files pertaining to deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The Epstein files have been a contentious issue for President Donald Trump’s administration, particularly after Axios reported in July that a Department of Justice (DOJ) memo found that the deceased sex offender had left no “client list” and that there was no evidence of foul play in his death. Rather than address the topic on the show, Bongino and Patel discussed Antifa, touted their work at the FBI, praised Trump, complained about media coverage and lamented the challenging choices they had to make.

“490% increase in those who prey upon our children. 490% increase in arrests by the FBI. The FBI under the last year … for violent crime from 2024 to 2025, twice as many arrests,” Patel said. “That’s unbelievable, Dan. These numbers are truly historic. And that was the foundational tectonic shift you and I put into place in the FBI to let the cops go out there and be cops.”

Without mentioning the Epstein files, Bongino stressed that he, Patel and other top administration officials faced what he called “level 10 decisions,” which he described as “shitty” and “shittier.” He previously called the Epstein case “one of those level 10 decisions” that had no good answer on Feb. 2.

“When people are principals and deputies and at cabinet-level or cabinet kind of equivalent positions, everything’s a level 10 decision, Kash, meaning there’s a shitty decision and a shittier one … when that decision can’t even be made by me, it goes to you,” Bongino told Patel on Wednesday. “When it doesn’t go to you, it goes to the president’s desk. He’s dealing with level 11 decisions. And that’s the thing in D.C. That’s why the batting average isn’t always going to be 1,000.” (Read more from “No Surprise: Dan Bongino Hosts Kash Patel For Interview — But They Ignore Epstein Files” HERE)

Alleged Epstein Accomplice Les Wexner Tries To Clarify Relationship During Congressional Testimony

/0 Comments/in , /by

Billionaire businessman Les Wexner tried to clarify his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein during his congressional testimony, the Daily Caller has learned.

Wexner, CEO and founder of L Brands, the parent company of Victoria’s Secret and one of Epstein’s most prominent associates was deposed Wednesday before the House Oversight Committee in Ohio. . .

Wexner testified that he was conned by Epstein, who he referred to as an Olympic-level con artist, according to a person familiar with his testimony.

Wexner stated during his testimony that Epstein never presented him with women for his sexual entertainment. He claimed that co-conspirator and convicted sex offender Ghislaine Maxwell also never introduced him to anyone — male or female, according to the person familiar.

The L Brands founder further asserted that Maxwell never played a role in Wexner’s business dealings and that he never witnessed Epstein act inappropriately around women in his presence.

Epstein Files Suggest Acts That May Amount to Crimes Against Humanity, Say UN Experts

/3 Comments/in , , /by

Millions of files related to the convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein suggest the existence of a “global criminal enterprise” that carried out acts meeting the legal threshold of crimes against humanity, a panel of independent experts appointed by the United Nations human rights council has said.

The experts said crimes outlined in documents released by the US justice department were committed against a backdrop of supremacist beliefs, racism, corruption and extreme misogyny. The crimes, they said, showed a commodification and dehumanisation of women and girls.

“So grave is the scale, nature, systematic character, and transnational reach of these atrocities against women and girls, that a number of them may reasonably meet the legal threshold of crimes against humanity,” they said in a statement.

The experts said the allegations contained in the files require an independent, thorough and impartial investigation, and said inquiries should also be launched into how it was possible for such crimes to be committed for so long. . .

A law, approved by Congress with broad bipartisan support in November, requires all Epstein-related files to be made public. (Read more from “Epstein Files Suggest Acts That May Amount to Crimes Against Humanity, Say UN Experts” HERE)

‘You’re Going to See More Defections’: Thomas Massie’s Ominous Prediction for the GOP

/0 Comments/in , /by

Rep. Thomas Massie has gone toe-to-toe with the president of the United States, the speaker of the House and the attorney general in just the last few months. And he says there’s more to come. . .

Massie was the sole Republican to spar with Attorney General Pam Bondi at a combative congressional hearing last week, but he said for now, he won’t pursue efforts to hold her in contempt for not fully releasing the files.

“I don’t think it’s necessary to proverbially pull a knife right now in this argument because we’re winning it,” he said. “When the attorney general is reduced to a stack of pre-prepared insults to deliver, and when the DOJ is responding to my every tweet with additional unredactions, I don’t think I’m going to change what I’m doing just yet.”

Massie also joined several other Republicans recently to buck President Donald Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson on legislation that would block some Trump tariffs. And he had an ominous prediction for GOP leadership in the coming months.

“On any given day, I would just need one or two of my own co-conspirators to get something done,” he said. “I think you’re going to see more defections.” (Read more from “‘You’re Going to See More Defections’: Thomas Massie’s Ominous Prediction for the GOP” HERE)

Weird: Texas GOP Politician Plans Christian Retreat at Epstein’s Zorro Ranch

/0 Comments/in , /by

The new owners of the late Jeffrey Epstein’s sprawling Santa Fe County ranch revealed their plans for the property Monday — the same day they announced they would cooperate with any law enforcement investigations into potential crimes committed there.

The Texas family who owns Epstein’s Zorro Ranch plans to convert it into a Christian retreat, owner Don Huffines posted on social media Monday night.

“What the enemy once meant for evil, God can redeem for good,” Huffines wrote on X.

That’s why he and his family renamed the property San Rafael Ranch, he wrote, “after the saint associated with physical and spiritual healing, and began plans immediately to remake it as a Christian retreat, reclaiming it for Jesus.”

Huffines, a Texas businessman and GOP candidate for Texas comptroller, which oversees statewide financial matters, purchased the ranch with his family in 2023 under an anonymous LLC. (Read more from “Weird: Texas GOP Politician Plans Christian Retreat at Epstein’s Zorro Ranch” HERE)

Jeffrey Epstein Masterminded ‘Girls Weekends’ in Ritzy Hamptons With Weird Overnight Stays: Emails

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Hamptons are front and center in a trove of newly released Jeffrey Epstein files — with emails claiming the convicted pedo routinely paraded “the girls” to the vacation destination and organized overnight stays at his elite pals’ homes.

One email exchange praised the disgraced financier and human trafficker for organizing “girls weekends” in the ritzy enclave, with one person claiming a local nightclub maven even wanted Epstein to help organize weekly parties exclusively for “beautiful Russian girls,” documents released by the Department of Justice showed.

The latest batch of files includes dozens of emails that show Epstein’s tentacles reached deep into the beachfront destination — with one FBI document from 2020 showing someone sent a tip to the agency with claims sex trafficker had close connections in the area who would “procure underage girls for him.”

Some files in the latest batch also referred to Epstein’s grooming efforts on the young girls, which is the deliberate, calculated process where an abuser builds a relationship and trust with a child for the purpose of sexual exploitation and abuse, according to the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network, the largest anti-sexual violence organization in the country.

The disgraced financier frequently flew “the girls” to the Hamptons for trips that appear to be meant to groom the kids, according to claims in the documents. (Read more from “Jeffrey Epstein Masterminded ‘Girls Weekends’ in Ritzy Hamptons With Weird Overnight Stays: Emails” HERE)

Iran, US Agree on ‘Guiding Principles’ of Nuclear Deal, as Vance Says Dismantling Atomic Program Among ‘Red Lines’

/0 Comments/in , /by

American and Iranian negotiators have hashed out “guiding principles” for an agreement during the second round of talks on Tehran’s nuclear program, according to Iran Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.

“We were able to reach a general agreement on a set of guiding principles, based on which we will proceed from now on and move toward drafting a potential agreement,” Araghchi told state TV earlier from Geneva, where the talks were held.

“This does not mean that we can quickly reach a final agreement, but at least the path has begun.”

A US official agreed that “progress was made, but there are still a lot of details to discuss. The Iranians said they would come back in the next two weeks with detailed proposals to address some of the open gaps in our positions.”

Vice President JD Vance told Fox News Tuesday afternoon that “in some ways” the talks went well, “but in other ways, it was very clear that the president has set some red lines that the Iranians are not yet willing to actually acknowledge and work through.” (Read more from “Iran, US Agree on ‘Guiding Principles’ of Nuclear Deal, as Vance Says Dismantling Atomic Program Among ‘Red Lines’” HERE)

The Rise in Transgender Killers Proves That We Have a Major Mental Health Crisis Unfolding

/0 Comments/in , /by

In what is becoming a regular occurrence, someone trans-identifying is accused of committing a mass murder, this time during a high school hockey game, in suburban Rhode Island.

Robert Dorgan, who preferred to be called Roberta, killed his ex-wife and one of his own children and shot three more people before turning the gun on himself.

In 2020, Dorgan had told police that he was being kicked out of his home, by his father-in-law, after Dorgan had undergone “gender-reassignment surgery.”

His wife, Rhonda Dorgan, wrote “gender reassignment surgery, narcissistic + personality disorder traits” as her grounds for divorce, but those words were crossed out and “irreconcilable differences which have caused the immediate breakdown of the marriage” was written instead.

Dorgan certainly seemed like he was going through a mental-health crisis.

In the days leading up to the slaughter, Dorgan posted on X, “keep bashing us. but do not wonder why we Go BERSERK.” (Read more from “The Rise in Transgender Killers Proves That We Have a Major Mental Health Crisis Unfolding” HERE)

Zelensky Warns Ukrainians Would Never ‘Forgive’ US for Ceding Major Region to Russia as Part of Peace Deal: ‘Not Fair’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Ukrainian public would not accept Kyiv simply handing over the country’s Donbas region to Russia in a peace deal, President Volodymyr Zelensky said Tuesday — advising US envoys against continually pushing a version of peace the war’s victims would see as an “unsuccessful story.”

“Emotionally, people will never forgive this. Never. They will not forgive … me, they will not forgive [the US],” Zelensky told Axios, speaking as US, Russian and Ukrainian negotiators met in Geneva. “This is part of our country, all these citizens, the flag, the land.”

The president said it was “not fair” that President Trump has called on Ukraine — and not Russia — to make concessions to reach a peace deal.

Any change to the country’s recognition of its land would require a referendum approved by the Ukrainian people, according to Kyiv’s constitution.

Special Presidential Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have been working to rapidly seal a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine that would see Kyiv give up even the roughly 15% to 20% of the Donbas that it still controls, turning it into a “free economic zone.” (Read more from “Zelensky Warns Ukrainians Would Never ‘Forgive’ US for Ceding Major Region to Russia as Part of Peace Deal: ‘Not Fair’” HERE)
