Nearly Naked Bill Clinton Pictured Soaking in Hot Tub With Unidentified Woman in Epstein Files: ‘His Reckoning’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Former President Bill Clinton is photographed reclining nearly naked in a hot tub with an unidentified woman at his waist in files kept by late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein — drawing strong reactions, including an ex-aide’s pronouncement that “this is his reckoning.”

Clinton, 79, is shown in many other images in the sprawling cache of Epstein files released Friday by the Justice Department — including with his arm wrapped around a young lady on a plane.

The ex-president is seen vacationing with the now-notorious predator in the UK, traveling with him to Brunei and Thailand and attending the 2002 wedding of Moroccan King Mohammed VI.

The extent of the Democrat’s appearance in the files drew shock shortly after the DOJ’s heavily redacted dump of thousands of records in compliance with a congressionally mandated deadline.

In one image, Clinton is shown frolicking in a swimming pool with Epstein’s girlfriend-turned-madam Ghislaine Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking crimes.

Who Is Named in the Epstein Files? List of Famous People Exposed in Bombshell Release

/1 Comment/in , , /by

The Justice Department has finally begun releasing the long‑awaited trove of Jeffrey Epstein files — and the initial batch of never‑before‑seen photos and documents includes a jaw‑dropping lineup of high‑profile figures who had contacts with the notorious financier and child rapist.

While the images are explosive, the DOJ has said that being photographed with Epstein doesn’t equate to criminal guilt, and many of the appearances in past photos released — including those by President Trump — are social or casual in nature.

Here’s who else appears in the Epstein files:

Former President Bill Clinton — New photos depict former President Bill Clinton vacationing with Epstein and his long-term partner and madam, Ghislaine Maxwell. One striking shot shows Clinton partially unclothed in a hot tub alongside Maxwell and an unidentified woman.

Mick Jagger — New images included in the release show Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger dining with Epstein and Clinton, and cozying up to a woman whose face was redacted in one image.

Michael Jackson — One of the most talked‑about images published today shows the late pop legend Michael Jackson standing beside Jeffrey Epstein in a previously unreleased DOJ photograph — complete with Jackson in sunglasses and Epstein in slippers. One picture shows Clinton, Jackson, and famed singer Diana Ross on a plane together. (Read more from “Who Is Named in the Epstein Files? List of Famous People Exposed in Bombshell Release” HERE)

‘That Is Retarded’: Ben Shapiro Goes After Fellow AmericaFest Speakers, Candace Owens; Erika Kirk Makes 2028 Presidential Endorsement During Speech

/5 Comments/in , , , /by

By Daily Caller. The Daily Wire co-founder Ben Shapiro criticized fellow media figures and speakers Thursday during his speech at AmericaFest.

Turning Point USA opened its annual AmericaFest conference Thursday at the Phoenix Convention Center, presenting the four-day event as a celebration of faith, freedom, and the legacy of founder Charlie Kirk. Speaking at the event, Shapiro said media figures must take responsibility for their words, actions, hiring decisions, and guest choices, adding that hosts owe audiences tough, fact-driven questioning regardless of whether they agree with the guest.

“We have a duty to take responsibility for what we say and do. If we hire awful people, we’re responsible for that. I have some experience there, as you might suspect. That means that if we offer a guest for your viewing, we owe it to you to ask the kinds of questions that actually get at the truth,” Shapiro said. “If we agree with a guest, that’s fine, but we should own it. So, for example, if you host a Hitler-apologist, Nazi-loving, anti-American piece of refuse like Nick Fuentes. You know, the Nick Fuentes who said that the Vice President of the United States is a, quote, fat, gay race traitor married to a jeet.”

Shapiro referenced past remarks Nick Fuentes made during his AmericaFest speech, pointing to Fuentes’ comments about the TPUSA founder. (Read more from “‘That Is Retarded’: Ben Shapiro Goes After Fellow AmericaFest Speakers, Candace Owens” HERE)

Erika Kirk Makes 2028 Presidential Endorsement During AmFest Speech

By Daily Caller. Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk used her speech Thursday at AmericaFest 2025 to map out Republican strategy for the next two election cycles.

TPUSA’s annual AmericaFest conference kicked off Thursday at the Phoenix Convention Center, with organizers framing the four-day gathering as a celebration of faith, freedom, and the legacy of founder Charlie Kirk. During her speech, Kirk told the crowd that Republicans are shifting away from a narrow focus on individual contests and toward a broader, long-term state strategy aimed at locking in durable electoral gains.

“For both 2026 and 2028, we’re investing in states and not just in races. So, what I mean by that is we are building the red wall,” Kirk said. “Arizona, Nevada, New Hampshire, that’s going to be very important to us. We’re going to ensure that President Trump has Congress for all four years. We are going to get my husband’s friend, JD Vance, elected for 48 in the most resounding way possible.” (Read more from “Erika Kirk Makes 2028 Presidential Endorsement During AmFest Speech” HERE)

President Trump Gives Federal Workers 2 New Holidays Around Christmas

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Federal workers are getting a Christmas gift from President Trump.

The president took executive action Thursday to ensure that federal workers get Christmas Eve and the day after Christmas off from work.

Trump had previously given federal workers the day off on Christmas Eve, but his action Thursday goes a step further and adds Dec. 26 to the list.

Previous presidents have given full or half days on Christmas Eve. Trump did so in 2019 and 2020. But adding Dec. 26 off as well is unusual.

The overture comes after federal workers had a rough couple of weeks during the record-breaking 43-day government shutdown that ended last month.

Oftentimes, holidays for federal workers can serve as a model for the private sector to follow. (Read more from “President Trump Gives Federal Workers 2 New Holidays Around Christmas” HERE)

Trump Tells America: ‘I’m Fixing’ Biden’s Mess in Chart-Filled Primetime Address

/5 Comments/in , , /by

President Trump came out swinging against his predecessor in a rare address to the nation while touting the progress he’s made this year — saying that the best was yet to come in 2026.

“Eleven months ago, I inherited a mess, and I’m fixing it,” Trump declared on Wednesday night in a year-end recap beamed live into millions of homes.

“We had the worst trade deals ever made, and our country was laughed at from all over the world, but they’re not laughing anymore.”

“Over the past 11 months, we have brought more positive change to Washington than any administration in American history,” Trump declared, focusing heavily on Americans’ economic concerns.

Trump whipped out a chart to show price decreases and wage increases under his watch — with real private-sector wage growth averaging $1,048 since he returned to the White House, versus losses of $2,919 under Joe Biden.

“Let’s look at the facts. Under the Biden administration, car prices rose 22% and in many states 30% or more,” Trump said, ticking through data displayed on other charts. (Read more from “Trump Tells America: ‘I’m Fixing’ Biden’s Mess in Chart-Filled Primetime Address” HERE)

House Passes Last Minute GOP Healthcare Bill

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Republicans in the House of Representatives passed a healthcare reform bill on Wednesday evening targeting rising costs as expiring Obamacare tax credits rally support for change ahead of midterm elections.

The new GOP-backed legislation, titled the Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act, does not extend the Affordable Care Act (ACA) enhanced premium tax credits expiring on Dec. 31. The bill, introduced by Republican Iowa Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, passed the House in a near party-line 216-211 vote.

Republican Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie was the only GOP member to vote no. No Democrats supported the bill.

Miller-Meeks said on the House floor Wednesday that the new legislation lowers health care costs by “forcing transparency” and implementing “common sense solutions.”

“By lowering premiums through choice and competition, by expanding association health plans, we give small businesses and self-employed workers the buying power of large employers, cutting premiums by as much as 30%,” Miller-Meeks said. “Being transparent to drug pricing, we take on the pharmacy benefit managers who have long operated behind the scenes as middlemen, collecting hidden fees while prescription prices climb.” (Read more from “House Passes Last Minute GOP Healthcare Bill” HERE)

Trump Mocks Biden, Obama With New Plaques Under ‘Presidential Walk of Fame’ Portraits

/0 Comments/in , , /by

President Donald Trump took some not-so-subtle swipes at his predecessors with new plaques below their portraits in the new White House Presidential Walk of Fame.

Former President Joe Biden had already been mocked in the installation, which was unveiled in September, when Trump used a photo of an autopen to represent the 46th president. Now, there are two plaques that include Trump’s nicknames for Biden.

“Sleepy Joe Biden was, by far, the worst President in American History,” the top plaque states. “Biden oversaw a series of unprecedented disasters that brought our Nation to the brink of destruction. His policies caused the highest Inflation ever recorded, leading the U.S. Dollar to lose more than 20% of its value in 4 years.”

“Nicknamed both ‘Sleepy’ and ‘Crooked,’ Joe Biden was dominated by his Radical Left handlers. They and their allies in the Fake News Media attempted to cover up his severe mental decline, and his unprecedented use of the Autopen,” the second plaque reads. “Following his humiliating debate loss to President Trump in the big June 2024 debate, he was forced to withdraw from his campaign for re-election in disgrace.”

Trump also took jabs at former President Barack Obama, calling him “one of the most divisive political figures in American History.” (Read more from “Trump Mocks Biden, Obama With New Plaques Under ‘Presidential Walk of Fame’ Portraits” HERE)

FBI Agent Steve Friend, Who Blew Whistle on Jan. 6 Investigation, Is Fired From Agency After Veiled Threat to Director Kash Patel

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A former FBI agent who was suspended under the Biden administration and was reinstated under President Trump to much fanfare has been ousted again, The Post has learned.

FBI whistleblower Steve Friend issued what was deemed to be a threat against Director Kash Patel on a podcast hosted by ex-FBI agent Kyle Seraphin last week and that outburst helped cost him his job on Saturday, bureau insiders told the Post.

Friend gained fame for claiming he was wrongly placed on leave by ex-FBI Director Chris Wray for exposing problems with the Jan. 6 investigation that saw roughly 1,600 defendants prosecuted for the 2021 attack on the Capitol. He went on to become an author, media commentator — and onetime ally of Patel.

Suspended in August 2022 and having resigned in February 2023, Friend returned to the FBI’s payroll on Oct. 10. However, he hadn’t been performing duties at the FBI in Jacksonville, as he had not yet been cleared for a background check, an issue that can arise in whistleblower cases.

While pedaling a conspiracy theory that Patel falsely arrested alleged DC pipe bomber Brian Cole Jr. as part of an elaborate “cover up,” Friend made disturbing remarks about bringing “God’s wrath” to punish him.

Four Republicans Break Ranks, Vote Against Ban on Child Sex Change Procedures

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Four House Republicans joined Democrats in opposing legislation that would ban irreversible sex change procedures for minors — a move that exposes just how fractured the GOP has become on protecting children.

The House on Wednesday evening passed Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Protect Children’s Innocence Act, which would criminalize puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgical procedures for minors seeking to alter their biological sex. The bill marks the first time a nationwide ban on child sex changes has reached the House floor.

Despite overwhelming Republican messaging against gender ideology, Reps. Gabe Evans of Colorado, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Mike Kennedy of Utah, and Mike Lawler of New York voted against the measure.

Their opposition came even as three Democrats — Reps. Henry Cuellar and Vicente Gonzalez of Texas and Don Davis of North Carolina — crossed party lines to support the bill. All three represent competitive swing districts that Republicans are targeting in the next election cycle, underscoring the political risks Democrats increasingly face on the issue.

Greene’s legislation would make performing sex change procedures on minors a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison. Parents and adults who assist minors in obtaining such procedures would also face penalties.

The bill simply codifies what common sense already dictates: children are not capable of consenting to permanent medical interventions that can sterilize them, alter their development, and cause lifelong harm.

“Republicans showed today that they are as committed to protecting children as Democrats are to disfiguring them,” said Terry Schilling, president of the American Principles Project. “Democrats have been captured by an ideology that is as poisonous as it is profitable.”

The vote also exposed bitter infighting within the Republican conference. Greene secured a floor vote on her bill by leveraging her support for a procedural vote advancing the annual National Defense Authorization Act — a tactic that drew sharp criticism from Texas Rep. Chip Roy.

“That’s the kind of [stuff] that happens around this institution and I’m sick of it,” Roy said during a House Rules Committee meeting, accusing leadership of trading votes.

Greene fired back, accusing Roy of attempting to weaken her legislation and enable what she described as the continued “trans agenda on kids.” Roy countered that narrowing the bill could improve its chances in the Senate.

For many conservatives, the argument rang hollow. More than half of U.S. states have already enacted bans on child sex changes, and public support for protecting minors from such procedures continues to grow.

Trump Slams Door on Five More Countries in Major Immigration Crackdown

/1 Comment/in , , /by

President Donald Trump on Tuesday expanded a travel ban by adding five more countries and imposing limits on others.

The move came as the Trump administration continues to tighten U.S. entry requirements and immigration standards.

“The restrictions and limitations imposed by the Proclamation are necessary to prevent the entry of foreign nationals about whom the United States lacks sufficient information to assess the risks they pose, garner cooperation from foreign governments, enforce our immigration laws, and advance other important foreign policy, national security, and counterterrorism objectives,” the proclamation states.

Through his actions on Tuesday, citizens from five countries – Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, South Sudan and Syria, as well as individuals holding Palestinian-Authority-issued travel documents – will face a ban on travel to the United States, the White House said. In addition, existing partial bans on Laos and Sierra Leone were expanded into full suspensions of entry.

Another 15 countries – Angola, Antigua and Barbuda, Benin, Cote d’Ivoire, Dominica, Gabon, The Gambia, Malawi, Mauritania, Nigeria, Senegal, Tanzania, Tonga, Zambia and Zimbabwe – will face partial restrictions.

The proclamation also “narrows broad family-based immigrant visa carve-outs that carry demonstrated fraud risks, while preserving case-by-case waivers,” the White House said. (Read more from “Trump Slams Door on Five More Countries in Major Immigration Crackdown” HERE)
