Epstein-Funded MIT Lab Hosted Child Sex Robot Panel

A Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) lab previously funded in part by Jeffrey Epstein hosted a panel where attendees openly discussed the idea of using “child-size sex robots” to treat pedophiles.

The MIT Media Lab’s July 2016 conference on research questions without “social and moral constraints” included a panel discussion arguing that pedophilia should not be seen as a “moral failing” but rather a medical condition and that the development of “child-size sex robots” is an inevitability, a transcript and video of the event shows.

The Media Lab’s ties to the disgraced financier span a 17-year period in which the lab readily accepted Epstein’s cash donations and facilitated introductions with its scientists on-campus and off, according to a 2020 fact-finding report commissioned by the university. The lab’s director contemplated inviting Epstein to one of its conferences in July 2016, the report states, the same month of the conference where the child-size sex robots were proposed, the only conference the lab hosted that month, according to its website.

“Once child-size sex robots hit the market, which they will, is the use of these robots going to be a healthy outlet for people to express these sexual urges and thus protect children and reduce child abuse? Or is the use of these robots going to encourage, normalize, propagate that behavior?” said one panelist. “We can’t research it [because of reporting restrictions]. But I do wonder whether they’re doing more harm than good in these cases. Because as much as people want these sexual urges — the urges, not the act — to be a moral failing, they are a psychological issue.”

“The issue of normalization, as you brought up. How does that change of society as a whole, and the acceptance of certain kinds of behavior?” another panelist said, while warning about the possibility of the robots being diverted to a black market for entertainment. “The notion of studying sexual deviance and actual normal humans interacting with these things can provide the basis for a deeper understanding of how that operates.” (Read more from “Epstein-Funded MIT Lab Hosted Child Sex Robot Panel” HERE)

US Reportedly Asks Israel To Stop Bombing The Hell Out Of Its New Neighbor

The United States has reportedly asked Israel to cease bombing the Syrian capital of Damascus as Tel Aviv claims to defend the Druze minority from sectarian violence, a senior defense official told Axios Wednesday.

U.S. Special Envoy for Syria Tom Barrack has reportedly made several phone calls to Israeli officials calling for deescalation of the conflict, according to Axios. The bombing began Tuesday as reports of violence against the Druze minority and Bedouin tribes in southern Syria circulated, which prompted the new Syrian government to intervene.

However, Israel began its strikes on Syria in retaliation, citing a commitment to protecting the religious and ethnic minority. Now U.S. officials are pleading with Israel to resolve things peacefully with the new Syrian government, which toppled former president Bashar al-Assad’s regime in December 2024.

“We told the Israelis to stand down and take a breath,” the senior official told Axios. (Read more from “US Reportedly Asks Israel To Stop Bombing The Hell Out Of Its New Neighbor” HERE)

Joe Rogan Reveals What Changed His Mind about Interviewing Donald Trump

Podcaster Joe Rogan spoke candidly about how a series of political revelations persuaded him to interview then-candidate Donald Trump in the 11th hour of the 2024 election.

The 2024 presidential election was dubbed by some to be the “podcast election,” as many suggested that Trump’s appearances on numerous podcasts popular with young men swayed the outcome. The biggest example of all was Trump’s interview on the “Joe Rogan Experience” in late October, which currently has 59 million views.

In a newly released interview conducted earlier this year, “Ultimate Human” podcast host Gary Brecka noted how Rogan was initially hesitant to interview Trump on his show, and asked him what eventually changed his mind.

“Well, there was a bunch of things that happened,” Rogan said. “First of all, there was the lawfare. There was these lawsuits that they were trying to pin on him. They were trying to convict him and turn him into a felon, and they were doing it so blatantly and obviously. The case with the bookkeeping error or the bookkeeping, whatever it was. The misdemeanor that they had charged him with 34 felonies for, which isn’t even a felony. It’s a misdemeanor, and it’s also past the statute of limitations. None of it made any sense. And people were cheering it on. ‘He’s a convicted felon.’”

“Hey, they can do that to you. Do you understand that?,” Rogan warned. “If they can do that to a former president, a former f—ing president who’s rich as s—, they can do that to him, they can do that to you, too. You can’t cheer this on. This is insane.” (Read more from “Joe Rogan Reveals What Changed His Mind about Interviewing Donald Trump” HERE)

Maurene Comey, Daughter of Former FBI Head James Comey, Fired from DOJ

Maurene Comey, the daughter of former FBI director James Comey, was fired Wednesday from her job as a prosecutor in the Manhattan U.S. attorney’s office, a Justice Department official confirmed to Fox News.

Comey was informed of her termination on Wednesday by the Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys, the official said.

She worked most recently on the prosecution of Sean “Diddy” Combs and previously prosecuted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell.

The reason for her firing as senior trial counsel at the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York was not immediately clear.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office did not immediately respond to a call from Fox News Digital.

Comey’s father was fired during President Donald Trump’s first term in office after he initiated the investigation into potential ties between Russia and President Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. The Justice Department recently appeared to acknowledge an investigation into James Comey, although it is unclear what sparked that probe.

New Tool Makes Defense Budget More Accessible

The Heritage Foundation unveiled a “first of its kind” online tool that analyzes and makes accessible the U.S. defense budget.

The tool is available to the public and makes the process of examining budget data from the Defense Department easier, according to a statement from Heritage. Before the creation of the Defense Budget Builder, data was published only on the website of the Undersecretary of Defense (Comptroller), and there was no ability to view it all at one time.

Heritage’s new Defense Budget Builder changes that, said Robert Greenway, director of the Allison Center for National Security. Greenway previously served in the military as a senior intelligence officer at the Defense Intelligence Agency and as a U.S. Army Special Forces combat veteran.

Trump: ‘Jeffrey Epstein Hoax’ Is Left’s Latest Media Scam to Distract from My Success; Trump Disavows Supporters Pushing Epstein ‘Bulls—’: ‘I Don’t Want Their Support Anymore!’

By Breitbart. President Donald Trump blasted what he called the “Jeffrey Epstein Hoax” in a fiery Truth Social message Wednesday. He accused the “Radical Left Democrats” of launching a new smear campaign against him, denounced former supporters who have bought into the Epstein narrative, and recalled a long list of past “hoaxes” pushed by the Left and the corporate media.

In the post, President Trump likened the Epstein narrative to a string of previous Democrat-driven “scams and hoaxes.”

“The Radical Left Democrats have hit pay dirt, again!” Trump wrote. “Just like with the FAKE and fully discredited Steele Dossier, the lying 51 ‘Intelligence’ Agents, the Laptop from Hell… and even the Russia, Russia, Russia Scam itself… these Scams and Hoaxes are all the Democrats are good at.”

Trump said Democrats, “no good at governing” and “no good at picking winning candidates,” have resorted to “strong prodding by the Fake News and the success starved Dems” to push the “Epstein Hoax” and distract from his “incredible and unprecedented success.”

“Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax,” Trump continued. “My PAST supporters have bought into this ‘bullshit,’ hook, line, and sinker. They haven’t learned their lesson… I don’t want their support anymore!” (Read more from “Trump: ‘Jeffrey Epstein Hoax’ Is Left’s Latest Media Scam to Distract from My Success” HERE)

Trump Disavows Supporters Pushing Jeffrey Epstein ‘Bulls—’: ‘I Don’t Want Their Support Anymore!’

By NBC News. President Donald Trump on Wednesday disowned his supporters who have called for the release of files related to Jeffrey Epstein, chiding them as “weaklings” who “bought into this bulls—.”

The lengthy post on Truth Social represents the clearest split from the faction of his MAGA base that has questioned the Justice Department’s handling of the case.

My “PAST supporters have bought into this “bulls—” hook, line, and sinker,” he said in the post, adding, “Let these weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats work, don’t even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success, because I don’t want their support anymore!”

This month, the Justice Department published a memo determining that there was no evidence of an “incriminating ‘client list,’” prompting renewed consternation in MAGA world. (Read more from “Trump Disavows Supporters Pushing Jeffrey Epstein ‘Bulls—’: ‘I Don’t Want Their Support Anymore!'” HERE)

OpenAI Discount Program Will No Longer Discriminate Against Christian Organizations

An Illinois medical school that rakes in millions of taxpayer dollars operates a gender clinic that peddles suspect treatments to minors.

The Southern Illinois University School of Medicine has been issued nearly $3 million in federal funds this year and received another $6.4 million in 2024. The school owns and operates a the Gender Equity and Transgender Clinic, which offers “gender affirming hormone therapy” and provides referrals for the surgical removal of breasts and other genital surgeries.

“The clinic provides trauma-informed, gender-affirming health care services to transgender and gender-diverse individuals,” the clinic’s website says. “The team values each individual person and their unique needs and characteristics.”

The website also claims that puberty blockers and cross-sex homes can be reversed, but should be administered to “give a child time to decide what treatments are right for them in addressing their gender presentation moving forward.”

“Puberty blockers are not permanent. When they are stopped, puberty continues normally,” the website says. (Read more from “OpenAI Discount Program Will No Longer Discriminate Against Christian Organizations” HERE)

Jill Biden’s ‘Work Husband’ Pleads The Fifth In Biden White House Cover-Up Probe

The plot thickens in the Biden senility/autopen scandal.

A top aide subpoenaed to testify on Wednesday in the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee’s investigations into the alleged cover-up of former President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline took the Fifth, just as Biden’s personal White House physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, did the week before.

Anthony Bernal, former assistant to Biden and senior adviser to first lady Jill Biden — aka Jill Biden’s “work husband” — reportedly dodged question after question from committee staff during the closed-door session, invoking his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.

In a statement following the fruitless sworn and transcribed interview, Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., referenced this week’s New York Times story in which the former president said he “made every decision” on a record number of pardons and commutations — most coming at the end of his term. Emails obtained by The Times, however, show one of Biden’s closest advisers approved the use of the autopen on midnight pardons.

“This week new reporting confirms President Biden’s aides took unauthorized executive actions during his presidency amid his cognitive decline,” Comer said. “It’s no surprise that Anthony Bernal is pleading the Fifth Amendment to shield himself from criminal liability.” (Read more from “Jill Biden’s ‘Work Husband’ Pleads The Fifth In Biden White House Cover-Up Probe” HERE)

Everybody Clap — Michelle Obama Managed to Spend an Hour with Her Husband

Former first lady Michelle Obama is no stranger to bold and beautiful feats. But her latest accomplishment may be her boldest, her bravest, and dare I say, her most beautiful: publicly tolerating her husband.

Michelle introduced a “very, very, very, special” guest on her podcast this Wednesday. “It’s my husband, y’all,” Michelle exclaimed.

“Wait, you guys like each other?” Craig Robinson, Michelle’s co-host and brother, joked as Barack joined them at the table.

“Oh yeah, really, huh,” Michelle snarked, muttering about the “rumor mill.” She further complained that, when she and Barack aren’t in the same room, “folks think we’re divorced.”

The mill has certainly been awhirl with divorce rumors, thanks to the ceaseless stream of complaining from Michelle herself. (Read more from “Everybody Clap — Michelle Obama Managed to Spend an Hour with Her Husband” HERE)

Paranormal Investigator Touring with Allegedly Haunted ‘Annabelle’ Doll Passes Away in Gettysburg

The lead investigator for a paranormal activity group on Sunday passed away in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania while on tour with an allegedly haunted Annabelle doll.

Dan Rivera, the lead investigator for the New England Society for Psychic Research and a U.S. Army veteran, passed away, according to the group.

Rivera led the viral “Devils on the Run Tour,” in which he and other members of the New England Society for Psychic Research brought toured across the country with Annabelle, an allegedly haunted doll.

The Hanover Evening Sun wrote:

Adams County dispatch scanner archives showed that firefighters and medical personnel had been called to a hotel in Gettysburg after 8 p.m. on Sunday evening for a report of CPR in progress on a male patient of Rivera’s age.

Adams County Coroner Francis Dutrow, whose office was conducting a death investigation, confirmed to the Evening Sun that, as of Tuesday afternoon, Rivera’s cause of death remained pending the results of an autopsy. Final results of that autopsy, according to the office, could take several months.
