Prosecutors reporting to Alex Acosta, then-US Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, negotiate a deal with Epstein to plead guilty to two state charges, serve a prison term, and register as a sex offender. In exchange, federal prosecutors agree to drop their investigation and sign a non-prosecution agreement granting Epstein and “any potential co-conspirators" immunity against future federal charges.

Epstein is removed from the membership roster at Mar-a-Lago, according to the 2020 book, “The Grifter’s Club,” written by four investigative reporters from the Miami Herald and the Wall Street Journal. In 2025, Trump maintained that he broke with Epstein after he “stole” Mar-a-Lago workers around the year 2000.

March 2011
The Mail on Sunday publishes Giuffre’s account of being sexually abused and trafficked by Epstein and Maxwell. The report describes Epstein as a “Wall Street money manager who once counted Bill Clinton and Donald Trump among his friends.” Maxwell and Epstein deny Giuffre’s allegations.

August 9, 2019
Hundreds of pages of court documents are unsealed from a civil lawsuit filed by Giuffre in New York federal court that allege new details of sexual abuse claims against Epstein and several associates.
August 10, 2019
Epstein is found alone and unresponsive in his prison cell, with a noose around his neck. He is later pronounced dead of an apparent suicide, the Bureau of Prisons says.

May 2025
The Wall Street Journal reports that sometime in May, Bondi told Trump at a briefing that his name appears multiple times in the Epstein files, including in potential instances of unverified hearsay about Trump.
July 2025
The Justice Department releases a memo that says its review revealed "no incriminating client list" and that Epstein committed suicide while in federal custody. The agency declines to release more records, causing public outcry.
July 16, 2025
In a post on Truth Social, Trump called the Epstein controversy a "Hoax" and "bullsh*t," denouncing "weaklings" in the GOP. He wrote that while he supports the release of “credible” information and “pertinent” grand jury testimony, he accused the media of focusing on old news.
July 24 & 25, 2025
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, formerly Trump’s personal attorney, interviews Maxwell over a two-day period at the US attorney’s office in Tallahassee, Florida. Six days after the interviews, the Bureau of Prisons transfers Maxwell without explanation to a low-security federal prison in Texas, nicknamed a “country club” prison. Trump says he was unaware that Maxwell was being transferred.

Wes Moore Catches a Few Lumps....
Anirbar Basu, "America’s most disappointing governor"
Maryland Governor Wes Moore was inaugurated on Jan. 18, 2023. Enough time has passed that we can now ask, “Is Wes Moore America’s worst governor?” Admittedly, such comparisons are difficult. Each state has its idiosyncratic challenges, political dynamics and success metrics. But based on our state’s trajectory, the question is a reasonable one.
Of course, some will undoubtedly wonder if it is reasonable. After all, Governor Moore’s approval ratings remain lofty. According to Morning Consult, Maryland’s governor registered a net approval rating of 31 as of mid-July, meaning that the share of voters who approve of his performance exceeded the share who disapprove by 31 percentage points. While several governors have higher approval ratings (e.g., Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, Josh Stein of North Carolina and Andy Beshear of Kentucky), Wes Moore remains among America’s most popular governors, though a new poll conducted late last month showed signs that his approval is slipping.
A lot goes into such ratings, including items largely unrelated to performance like charisma, favorable media coverage and lags in perception. Rather than consider those things, let’s focus on outcomes.
In 1973, Moody’s Investors Service assigned Maryland a AAA bond rating. Since that year, Maryland managed to maintain this rating from all three major rating agencies despite oil embargoes, global financial crises and COVID. But in May 2025, Moody’s downgraded our state’s financing rating to AA1.
Rather than accept accountability, Gov. Moore quickly blamed someone else. On May 14, the governor, along with other state leaders, declared, “To put it bluntly, this is a Trump downgrade.”
Here’s the thing. Roughly a year earlier, on May 31, 2024, Moody’s had reaffirmed Maryland’s AAA rating but downgraded its outlook from stable to negative. Donald Trump was not president then. Maryland’s financial situation was deteriorating before Trump’s recent assault on Maryland’s economy. Perhaps Gov. Moore can at least accept some responsibility for that. Maryland enjoyed a universal AAA rating for more than five decades. It took the Moore administration fewer than three years to undo that.
Let’s broaden the discussion by analyzing state budget dynamics. Having overspent during Moore’s first two budgets, Maryland faced a $3.3 billion fiscal shortfall during its most recent General Assembly.
While the governor insisted that he had a high threshold for tax increases, that standard thawed into a dew during his most recent budget. The governor signed a Fiscal Year 2026 budget that rains additional taxes on many Marylanders, including two new higher income tax brackets, increased excise taxes on sports wagering, table games and motor vehicles, an expanded local income tax rate cap of 3.3%, and a 3% sales tax on data and IT services. In total, this represents a $1.6 billion annual increase in state taxes for Marylanders, who were already among the most heavily taxed people in America.
But Maryland’s malaise extends beyond economics and finance. Recently, three top Maryland officials overseeing Maryland’s juvenile detention facilities were fired. A recent report alleged numerous issues inside those facilities, including illegal drugs, concerns regarding food quality, staffing shortages and assaults. As the Washington Post reported, the report was based on “observations from the first six months of the year, when former juvenile services secretary Vincent Schiraldi was still leading the department.” The report firmly laid blame for the problems “at the feet of Schiraldi’s team.”
As is well known, it took Gov. Moore months before Secretary Schiraldi handed in his resignation. Meanwhile, Marylanders have been plagued by juvenile crime. According to the Baltimore City State’s Attorney’s Office, juvenile crime arrests increased 146% in 2024 compared to 2023. In Baltimore City, juvenile robbery cases surged to 246 during the first six months of 2024, up from 56 cases during the same period one year prior and just 17 two years earlier.
There’s more. As The Baltimore Sun recently reported, the governor’s office, state budget departments and several individual state agencies don’t even know how much money the state or their own agencies spend on nonprofits.
This is not to suggest that Maryland is deteriorating along all dimensions. For instance, the governor’s mansion is improving nicely. More than $2.3 million in state-funded repairs have been made to the structure since Gov. Wes Moore and his family moved in. “The most expensive repairs were a $737,000 project to replace the conservatory room windows and a $359,000 elevator replacement,” The Sun reported. “Other costs included $302,000 to renovate four of the mansion’s 12 bathrooms.”
While it may be unfair to say that Wes Moore is America’s worst governor, an argument could easily be made that he is its most disappointing.
...while, the Left reluctantly declaims Trump an Usurping Prophet of the Great Caucasian God (aka - Government)!
Who will be THEIR new Messiah? Zohran Mamdani? Wes Moore?
The Art of the Deal, China Edition
Excerpt from video above:
There we go. The Supreme Leader is back. Okay.So, here's Mr. Woo, one of the dissident living in the US. And so, on August the 15th, he posted what he called "The Four Point Consensus" of the Beidaihe meeting. So these are the agreements, or temporary agreements, that Xi Jinping had reached with his rivals, or this is the temporary agreement that all factions have reached. So there are four points:The first one is to maintain the stability of the Party's central leadership. Xi Jinping will remain in his post and continue to play the role of the top leader. State propaganda should stay consistent about his status, but excessive personal worship will no longer be allowed.Point number two, Xi Jinping will not be permitted to serve in another term.Number three, Party, government, and military powers will be relatively separated.Number four, the party's coordinating bodies will oversee preparations for the Fourth Plenum and begin laying the groundwork for the 21st Party Congress in 2027.So to me, this consensus looks like a deadlock. It basically says Xi will step down eventually, in 2027 at the 21st Party Congress, but until then, no one knows what to do with him. So, for now, we'll keep him in place until figuring out the next move.
Xi Gets 3!
Last Stop... the 21st Party Congress in 2027... then Bye-Bye Xi!
Hail Columbia!
"Societies have always been shaped more by the nature of the media by which men communicate than by the content of the communication"
-Marshall McLuhan
from Google AI:
Nietzsche viewed journalism and newspapers critically, seeing them as symbols of a societal "debasement" driven by mass media and "slave morality" that prioritized superficiality and the "permanent false alert" of fleeting news over true wisdom. He condemned the journalist as a "paper slave of the day" who epitomizes the intellectual shallowness of Alexandrian culture. However, his critiques are not an outright rejection of media but a call for suspicion towards its power and a deeper consideration of its role in shaping modern life and truth.

Why Progressives Like Dervy Revel in their Neo-Racist White Guilt-Pride...
Assuming a position of Universal Moral Identity (you can tell I'm not a racist like the "white superiority" conservatives I bash because I'm extremely Euro-critical, yet supportive and not critical of all other minority racial and cultural identities) and therefore "Objective". You're not "objective" Derv, you're just Neo-Racist. And such is the eschatology of "Social Progress" in the minds of not only Dervy, but of all of the Progressive Democratic elites.
And what is the role of a Progressive Social Activist today but to Immanentize the Eschatology... create a future world of multi-cultural harmony by discriminating against one race (white/ European that imagines itself "superior") in favour of all others. Wouldn't that be Progress?

Noble Lies and the Myth of Progress as Scientific, Technical, and Social Progress
Like Marx's Historicism... an Inevitable and Unstoppable Progression from Feudal -> Capitalist -> Socialist -> Communist Social Systems
Google Ai Continued:
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
The Core Idea of Progress:Critiques and Counterarguments:The Enlightenment-era concept of progress emphasizes continuous improvement and upward movement in various aspects of human life.
It often assumes that humanity is inherently good and that freedom is the ultimate goal, with each generation building upon the achievements of the past.
This view often links progress with technological advancements and economic growth, believing that these will inevitably lead to a better world.
Unsustainability:Many critiques argue that the current model of progress, driven by endless economic expansion and resource depletion, is unsustainable and ultimately harmful.Ignoring Limits:Some critics point to the scientific laws of thermodynamics, limits to growth, and the concept of self-organization, arguing that these natural laws contradict the idea of endless linear progress, according to Tom Wessels in "The Myth of Progress: Toward a Sustainable Future".Unintended Consequences:
Critics also highlight the negative consequences of technological advancements and economic development, such as environmental degradation, social inequality, and the potential for misuse of technology.Moral Ambiguity:The idea of progress as a linear march towards freedom and a better world is challenged by the capacity of humans for both good and evil, and the potential for even well-intentioned advancements to be used for destructive purposes.Loss of Connection:
Some argue that the pursuit of progress has led to a loss of connection with nature and a decline in community and meaningful relationships.Lack of Hope:
In Essence:Some believe that the myth of progress can create a sense of inevitability that discourages action and critical thinking about the challenges facing humanity, according to gwynethjones.coach.
The "myth of progress" represents a powerful and pervasive idea about human history and its trajectory. While it has inspired advancements and positive changes, critiques highlight its limitations, unsustainability, and potential for unintended negative consequences. The debate surrounding the myth of progress raises fundamental questions about the nature of human development, the role of technology, and the path towards a truly sustainable and desirable future.

Which is YOUR god, America? Poseidon or Athena?
In Greek mythology, Cecropia was the original name of Athens, named after its legendary first king, Cecrops. Cecrops was depicted as a man with a serpent's tail, and he is credited with bringing civilization to the region by teaching the people important skills like marriage, writing, and burial practices. The city was later renamed Athens in honor of the goddess Athena, after she won a contest against Poseidon to become the city's patron.
The contest involved each offering a gift to the city. Poseidon struck the ground with his trident, creating a saltwater spring, while Athena planted an olive tree. The Athenians chose Athena's gift, the olive tree, as it provided them with food, oil, and wood, symbolizing peace and prosperity. Consequently, the city was renamed Athens in her honor, and Poseidon, angered by the decision, cursed the city with a water shortage.Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!
Water represents Chaos, the Land, Order... the heroes quest is often to challenge the chaos and create order ...Theseus, however challenged the Minotaur's "ordered" labyrinth whereas Alexander the Great simply "cut" the Gordian knot.

Is he gonna federalize them to take them over? All he wants to do is deflect from his inadequacy by the bold, insane moves.
The takeover of D.C. police, it’s not what I need. I don’t need this D.C. police to be taken over. I don’t. They need to get the tariffs over with. They need to get the war over with. They need to get the Gaza thing over with.
And after that, we have something else we have to get over with.

White Guilt Has Died... but White Guilt-Pride Zombies On....
The Neo-Racist Chattering Classes are too Proud of their Guilt to Help Themselves.... it's such a great social luxury status symbol, and unlike a Gold Rolex, can't be faked (or can it?).

The CCP's Praetorian Guard Moved North of the Rubicon
...rendering Xi Jinping Vulnerable
With the fourth plenary session of the 20th Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) scheduled for October, the annual gathering of CCP leaders at Beidaihe is a prelude of what to expect, from the economy to leadership changes. Lianhe Zaobao China news editor Yang Danxu gives her take.
China’s state media released a 500-word report on 3 August, revealing that Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Politburo Standing Committee member Cai Qi visited experts on summer vacation in Beidaihe — indirectly confirming that the top CCP leaders have entered its annual “Beidaihe time”.
Located in Hebei’s Qinhuangdao, about 300 kilometres from Beijing, Beidaihe is a popular summer retreat in northern China. In 1953, the CCP leadership began working collectively from Beidaihe during the summer, formalising a summer office system. This practice was suspended when the Cultural Revolution began in 1966, but resumed in 1984. Several key decisions in the party’s history were made in Beidaihe, including key appointments and political reports ahead of the CCP’s party congress every five years.
This year, the focus of “Beidaihe time” is expected to revolve around the China-US trade war, the Chinese economy, and the upcoming fourth plenary session of the 20th Central Committee of the CCP, known as the fourth plenum.
What is ‘Beidaihe time’?
In 2003, during Hu Jintao’s leadership, the summer office system in Beidaihe was abolished, and its political significance diminished. However, the tradition of senior party officials — including some retired leaders — gathering in Beidaihe for a collective retreat from late July to early August has been maintained.
Although no formal meetings are held, top leaders still use the retreat to exchange views on major issues. Before the decline of “gerontocracy” and factionalism, the Beidaihe gathering served as a platform for information sharing, addressing concerns and reaching compromises. In recent years, China’s top leader, Xi Jinping, has established the era of “one position as the highest authority” (定于一尊) and taken full control over key decisions. Nevertheless, discussions during Beidaihe still play a role in coordinating and unifying positions within the party.
This year, the focus of “Beidaihe time” is expected to revolve around the China-US trade war, the Chinese economy, and the upcoming fourth plenary session of the 20th Central Committee of the CCP, known as the fourth plenum.
Trade and economy
The third round of China-US trade talks concluded last week in Stockholm, Sweden, with both sides agreeing to extend the “truce” initially reached in Geneva, though the extension still requires final approval from US President Donald Trump.
As the US wraps up tariff negotiations with other countries, which were forced to accept harsh terms, it is clear that Beijing will not agree to a similar outcome. The gap between China and the US on tariff issues remains wide, and the negotiations will only get tougher from here. After using the “rare earth card” to push back against Washington in the earlier phase, China’s leadership now faces key questions before the next round of talks: what can be compromised, what deals should be made, and what should be demanded from Washington in return.
The prospect of the China-US trade war remains a sword of Damocles suspended over the Chinese economy. Despite a 5.3% growth rate in the first half of this year, and domestic consumption contributing over 50% to that growth, China’s economic recovery is far from solid. Official data released last week showed the July manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) at just 49.3 — marking the fourth consecutive month below the boom-bust line.
To put it bluntly, resisting the risks and shocks brought about by the US, whilst addressing the challenges of domestic economic transformation, would be the focus over these five years.
With the uncertainty surrounding tariff negotiations, coupled with overly ramped-up exports in the first half of 2025, it is expected that there would be regression for foreign trade. After the phasing out of the trade-in policy, the revitalisation of domestic demand might not be sustainable. The major age-old obstacle that is the real estate market remains in a state of flux with no sign of rock bottom, while the pulling effect of emerging industries is not sufficient as a replacement — the Chinese leadership would likely not dare to take their eye off the economy.
Before entering “Beidaihe time”, the Politburo — as is customary — met in the last week of July. On top of discussing the state of the economy, it was also decided that the fourth plenum would be convened in Beijing in October, to deliberate on suggestions for the formulation of the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030).
In the words of the officials, the 15th Five-Year Plan period is described as “a crucial phase for consolidating the foundation and making all-round efforts to basically realise socialist modernisation”. Chinese officials also assessed that “China’s development is facing profound and complex changes, as strategic opportunities, risks, and challenges are concurrent and uncertainties and unforeseen factors are rising”.
To put it bluntly, resisting the risks and shocks brought about by the US, whilst addressing the challenges of domestic economic transformation, would be the focus over these five years. How well this is done would determine whether China can realise socialist modernisation by 2035. The direction and blueprint for this endeavour would require total consensus among the top leadership.
The fourth plenum is also expected to address several significant personnel issues, which could be discussed during “Beidaihe time”. There are currently a few unresolved cases among the upper echelons of the CCP.
Leadership issues
The fourth plenum is also expected to address several significant personnel issues, which could be discussed during “Beidaihe time”. There are currently a few unresolved cases among the upper echelons of the CCP.
For instance, the nature of Ma Xingrui’s next appointment, following his stepping down as Xinjiang party secretary over a month ago, has not yet been determined. Similarly, the investigation results and handling of feedback concerning Miao Hua, who fell from grace last November and was removed from his Central Military Commission (CMC) position, have also not been officially announced.
More strikingly, He Weidong, a CMC vice-chairman and Politburo member, has been absent for nearly five months without an official explanation. Authorities might unveil details concerning his situation, along with the Miao case, after the Victory Day parade on 3 September and before the fourth plenum.
If He is indeed in trouble, as external observers speculate, the 20th CMC would be reduced from seven members in October 2022 to four, accounting for the earlier removals of former Defence Minister Li Shangfu and Miao. The 24-member Politburo would also lose a member due to He's alleged downfall.
Whether the authorities will adjust the CMC at the fourth plenum — such as promoting Liu Zhenli or Zhang Shengmin from CMC members to vice-chairmen, or promoting Dong Jun who previously took over as defence minister to a member of the CMC — or whether there would be a rare replacement to the Politburo which is supposedly down a member, these would all be focal points for the fourth plenum.
Historically, over the past two decades, Central Committee plenary sessions have seen more frequent adjustments to the CMC than additions to the Politburo. However, at this critical juncture, with the anti-corruption storm continuing to brew within the People’s Liberation Army and the “pernicious influences” (流毒) yet to be fully eradicated, the leadership is unlikely to rush promotions without complete confidence. This “Beidaihe time” would allow top leaders to briefly set aside daily affairs and carefully deliberate on personnel deployment and selection issues.

Why Didn't Russia Help Trump Win in 2016?
Why Didn't they Give the Kompromat on Hillary to Don Jr. at the Trump Tower Meeting?
...because it was always a Fusion GPS/ Perkins Coei Set-Up!
One of the founders of the research firm behind the controversial Russian dossier met with a Kremlin-linked lawyer before and after she sat down with President Trump’s son and other campaign officials at the Trump Tower during the 2016 election, Fox News reported on Tuesday.
Glenn Simpson, a former Wall Street Journal reporter and co-founder of Fusion GPS, was with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya at a Manhattan federal courtroom just hours before the Trump Tower meeting on June 9, 2016, Fox News reported, citing a source. He met with her again after the meeting, the report said.Veselnitskaya, promising “dirt” on Hillary Clinton, met with Donald Trump Jr. and other campaign operatives – including Jared Kushner and former campaign manager Paul Manafort. Trump Jr. later said the discussion was about Russian adoptions.
But the meeting took place at a critical time when Fusion GPS was being paid by a Russian oligarch and by the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee while it enlisted former British spy Christopher Steele to dig up damaging information about Trump through his contacts in Moscow, Fox News said.
The report said Simpson’s meeting Veselnitskaya and Fusion GPS’ being bankrolled by the DNC, the Clinton campaign and Russian interests raises new questions about what role the firm played in the presidential election.
The original plan was to tie Trump and Paul Manafort to Russia, as the Ukrainians had given the Clinton Campaign Kompromat on Manafort (the forged Black-Ledger) that later served as the basis for Manafort's FARA conviction.

Why DoJ Just Classified the Evidence in the Ryan Routh Trump Assassination Attempt
So why, after a full year of investigations, is the public learning NOTHING about the Trump Assassination Attempts? Because it would reveal sensitive USIC Covert Operations still supporting the War in Ukraine, and likely implicate those USIC agencies (like DHS HSI) in the conspiracy to kill DJT.

Mike Benz on The Durham Annex
et al...
h/t - Shaw Kenawe
Padlock the door and board the windows
Put the people in the street
"It's just my job, " he says "I'm sorry."
And draws a check, goes home to eat
But at night he tells his woman
"I know I hide behind the laws."
She says, "You're only taking orders."
That's how every empire falls
