Uh, you know that they are our allies, right ? .

This Is a Win? There are many times we have to wonder if politicians truly ever hear themselves, particularly the ones on the left, who've never met a government-funded program they didn't try to make larger. For that matter, they've never met a program of any sort that they don't try to turn into a gigantic government-funded program. We all know what happens with these programs. Millions, billions, or more are spent, and results are never delivered. Just look at high-speed rail in California, which Gavin Newsom is STILL trying to push. But maybe, as The Washington Post told us during the Biden disaster, we just need to lower our expectations. Take this wonderful success in Minnesota that Senator Amy Klobuchar bragged about last night. Thanks to her government funding to the tune of $60 million, the state was able to complete a whopping 15-mile section of highway. And look at how quickly it happened: https://x.com/amyklobuchar/status/1990575363689242982? Nope, that's not a typo. FIFTY years. And Klobuchar is calling that a win. Everyone on X called it something else entirely. https://twitchy.com/grateful-calvin/2025/11/18/amy-klobuchar-touts-highway-project-that-took-fifty-years-to-complete-n2421814 ...is this conservative parody of government efficiency??

Same old misrepresentation.

Thomas Massie's Latest Epstein Files Claim Is Too Cute by Half FTA: MASSIE: Some people have said, ‘Well, how will you know that he’s released the files?’ We will know when rich and powerful men are implicated. So they’ve claimed that they’ve been releasing thousands, tens of thousands of documents to Congress already. But what we’ve discovered is there’s not a single new name in those documents. We know because we have survivors through their lawyers who’ve told us that they have names. We know, they know who’s in those files, and we’ll know if he’s given us a complete release. Let me stop him right there because that's not how this works. The absence of evidence is not evidence in and of itself, and it's a logical fallacy to assert that unless the files tell him what he wants to hear, that must indicate there are more files. If there's not a "single new name," it is perfectly possible that's because there are no more names. Suspicions of a broader conspiracy, and I've had my own over the years surrounding this case, are not sufficient in this context. As to the claim that there are survivors who have "told us that they have names," that is hopelessly ambiguous. What if the names are just the names we already know? Regardless, at some point, and that point was a while ago, if they aren't willing to release the names and make their accusations public, then there's nothing else to be done here. I realize the response will be that they signed NDAs, but NDAs can not legally be used to cover up criminal activity, and in such a situation, can be broken to report the crime to the police. This entire thing has turned into a game of circular logic, where a lack of evidence is treated as evidence, and the best sources (the victims) aren't expected to actually be sources. Why would I care what Epstein's emails say if almost all the women he trafficked are alive and able to testify? If rich and powerful people committed sex crimes in conjunction with Epstein, then they need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Turning this purely into a political issue, absconding from any attempt at legal justice against these suggested other perpetrators, is just a bit too convenient for me. I think Massie knows that, but he's so deep in his own sauce that he can't be objective anymore. https://redstate.com/bonchie/2025/11/18/thomas-massies-latest-epstein-files-claim-is-too-cute-by-half-n2196309

Just posting information. You can ignore if you wish. .

I don't know about the "biggest" story, but it is damn important.

There’s not a shred of evidence linking Trump to the pedophilic activities of the late New York financier, but Democrats will use whatever they can to make the case. Yet, with the media’s credibility in shambles and the Democrats in total chaos, Trump and his team likely and rightly think they can easily slap down any narrative that comes their way. They should feel confident—Democrats have nothing. Yet, why didn’t Joe Biden, who weaponized the Justice Department against Trump, release the files? He could have. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) was asked that, and his answer was not good: https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2025/11/18/chuck-schumer-was-asked-why-didnt-biden-release-the-epstein-fileshis-answer-was-brutal-n2666581

Back to the thread subject. The Cost of Speaking Truth in Women's Sports By Brad Essex When Alexa Anderson and Reese Eckard stepped off the podium at Oregon's girls' state track championship in May, they weren't staging a tantrum. They were taking a stand. Third and fourth place in the high jump after years of grueling practice, the two Tigard High School seniors refused to share the moment with a transgender athlete who had cleared the bar for fifth. In that quiet act of dissent, they exposed the raw fault lines in the push to redefine fairness in women's sports. Anderson, now a freshman at the University of South Alabama, earned her bronze medal the hard way. Four seasons of early mornings, sore muscles, and quiet determination led her to that podium. Yet officials, after forcing the protesters out of the championship photo, promised to ship the medals to the school. They didn't. Not for months. Only after Anderson and Eckard sued the Oregon School Activities Association, alleging a First Amendment violation, did the medals arrive, quietly forwarded to their lawyers at the America First Policy Institute. U.S. District Judge Youlee Yim You's recent denial of the OSAA's motion to dismiss underscores the case's merit. The association had argued against claims of selective censorship, pointing to allowed displays of Black Lives Matter slogans and pride flags at events. Anderson has seen it firsthand: Shirts, pins, and banners celebrating those causes drew no ire during her high school career. Step off a podium to question biological advantages in a girls' event, though, and suddenly free expression becomes a problem. This isn't about one medal or one meet. It's about the slow erosion of Title IX's promise, that bedrock law meant to level the playing field for women. Transgender inclusion policies may sound compassionate on paper, but they collide with reality on the track. Female athletes, already outmuscled by biology, now face competitors who retain male-developed advantages in strength and speed. Anderson's protest wasn't malicious, but for voicing it, she paid dearly: death threats that read like "I hope you die," demands for her expulsion, even barbs claiming her parents must be ashamed. https://redstate.com/brad-essex/2025/11/18/the-essex-files-the-cost-of-speaking-truth-in-womens-sports-n2196266

Reality Caught Up to ‘Climate Change’ American Greatness, by Victor Davis Hanson For decades, the monolithic and sacrosanct international climate change hierarchy went unquestioned. Western nations in particular spent trillions of dollars over the past half-century to subsidize expensive but erratic wind and solar energy while demonizing carbon fuels as toxic threats to the planet. Like Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion dogma, climate change orthodoxy was embedded into every aspect of Western culture, from the corporate boardroom to the university campus. Question whether man-made global warming was truly responsible for increased temperatures rather than natural, often centuries-long cycles of heating and cooling of the planet, and one was labeled a climate crank. Everything from declining fertility to forest fires was ridiculously attributed to climate change. But the causes of both demographic crises and charred landscapes were more likely the result of new affluent lifestyles that saw child-rearing as too expensive and time-consuming, and misguided forest policies or underfunded firefighting. Yet reality has caught up with the near-religious climate change cult. More at: https://amgreatness.com/2025/11/17/reality-caught-up-to-climate-change/

New Yorker: Trump Occupies 'Negative Space' in Epstein Files (As In Nothing There) P.J. Gladnick Epstein slop has now apparently reached the outermost limits of absurdity with Monday's New Yorker entirely incapable finding anything actually incriminating about President Donald Trump in the latest release of the Jeffrey Epstein documents. So what to do? What to do? Well, New Yorker editor Jessica Winter seems to have drawn the short stick to "earn" this assignment and completely embarrassed herself with a theory about "negative space" in "The Darkest Thread in the Epstein E-mails." The subtitle reflects the fact that Winter found absolutely no there there since the worst allegation tossed Trump's way is something called "negative space": Donald Trump occupies a kind of negative space in the available files, which run an enervating gamut from the inane to the depraved. Spoiler alert: Nothing really negative about Trump was found so Winters dreamed up something called "negative space" to gloss over that sad fact. In fact, her "negative space" is reminiscent of "dark energy" which is defined as a mysterious force in the universe whose exact nature is unknown and whose very existence can only be inferred. https://newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/pj-gladnick/2025/11/17/new-yorker-trump-occupies-negative-space-epstein-files-nothing .

He was merely reposting the lawyer's tweet, but nice reply anyway.

Oh dear. Where to begin ? First off I am glad that you have not had to deal with this problem personally However that does not mean that you can jump to your completely bogus claim that the only creepy’ old men care about this. (And the fact that you would accuse anyone of this is downright disgusting) The transgender issue is a national one. Being discussed in the news, congress, and the courts. It is a Women’s Rights issue This claim of “wildly atypical “ and the constant diversion from this thread’s topic has demonstrated to all here who has the problem. and it’s you.

You keep trying this same old tactic It doesn’t work on adults. It IS okay. The president should be able to be himself, and that is who Donald Trump is we all knew that. You are the one who is upset though you won’t admit it to yourself .

12 years and the left still hasn’t figured out how President Trump operates. 😀

Or, He could insist that you tell him how many kids you have ?? 😂

SNAP Fraud: A $50,000 EBT Card, One Person Getting Benefits from 6 Different States - This Is What Taxpayers Are Funding The Western Journal, by Samuel Short If there’s any good that’s come from the government shutdown, it’s exposing all the fraud being committed to exploit the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. To be sure, there are millions of needy Americans who were hurting from being deprived of SNAP as they tried to support children and keep their families from going hungry. This is not about them. This is about the other people — the individuals who dip into this program unjustly at the expense of the taxpayer. Just the News reported that Department of Agriculture Deputy Secretary Steven Vaden has indicated his agency is engaging in data collection relating to SNAP across several states https://www.westernjournal.com/snap-fraud-50000-ebt-card-one-person-getting-benefits-6-different-states-taxpayers-funding/
