THE DONALD TRUMP FILES What about Donald Trump? Isn't he in the Epstein files? Well, we have now read 1.39 million DOJ documents in the Epstein case. Every one. We have built investigation dossiers on eight people: Bill Gates (2,265 documents), Woody Allen (2,613), Reid Hoffman (1,976), Bill Clinton (1,586), Larry Summers (739), Leon Black (667), Elon Musk (55), and Donald Trump. For Donald Trump, across the entire corpus, we found 40 documents. Not 40 damning documents. 40 documents total -- every sworn deposition, every FBI interview, every civil complaint, every flight log entry, every media reference of any kind linking Trump to Epstein in the largest document production in DOJ history. As with Elon, the number is the story. And as with Elon, the documents themselves tell that story even better. Every quote below is verbatim. Every citation is a DOJ document number you can verify. Click the links. This post comes from those links. There are just 40. You can read them yourself. THE FRIENDSHIP It must be made clear: Trump and Epstein were friends. This must be stated plainly, because everything that follows only makes sense if you understand that. They were Palm Beach neighbors in the 1990s. Both owned waterfront estates. Both moved in the same Manhattan social circles -- the dinner-party circuit that included Mort Zuckerman, Leon Black, Ronald Perelman, and a dozen other New York billionaires. In March 2003, Vanity Fair profiled Epstein as "The Talented Mr. Epstein" and named Trump as one of seven businessmen who dined at his 71st Street townhouse [187-11]. Juan Alessi, Epstein's house manager, named Trump among many prominent visitors to the Palm Beach property [055-12]. A 1993 photograph shows Trump and Marla Maples with Epstein and Maxwell at a New York party [EFTA00787056]. This was before Epstein's convictions. In 2002, reached by phone for a New York Magazine profile, Trump gave the currently most weaponized quote in the entire archive: "I've known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy. He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it -- Jeffrey enjoys his social life." [EFTA00013640] That quote has been cited thousands of times. It was given on speakerphone, before any public allegations, before any investigation, before any reason to be cautious. "It is even said that" is hearsay framing -- Trump reporting what others say. "On the younger side" is ambiguous. But the quote exists, and it reflects a social warmth that post-Epstein scandal Trump would prefer to erase. In 2003, Ghislaine Maxwell assembled a leather-bound album for Epstein's 50th birthday. Trump's contribution: a card with "several lines of typewritten text framed by the outline of a naked woman, which appears to be hand-drawn with a heavy marker," signed below the waist [senate_judiciary_to_bondi]. These are the facts, and the facts must be stated openly. The friendship was real. But what happened next matters more. THE FALLING OUT Around 2004, that friendship ended. Trump outbid Epstein at auction for the Maison de L'Amitie estate in Palm Beach. In Michael Wolff's 2017 recordings, Epstein himself confirmed the real estate dispute as the breaking point [wolff_tapes_transcript_exhibit]. But the real estate dispute was simply the excuse that Epstein made for something darker. Brad Edwards, the attorney who represented Epstein's victims, established under oath that Trump banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago after Epstein sexually assaulted an underage girl at the club [773-04]. There is no documented contact between Trump and Epstein after the falling out in 2004. Not one email. Not one phone call. Not one schedule entry. Not one reference of any kind in 1.39 million documents. After 2004, the relationship was over. Trump had drawn a hard line. THE GIRL IN THE SPA Virginia Roberts was sixteen years old, earning nine dollars an hour as a locker room attendant at Mar-a-Lago [1218-11]. In her memoir, she described the club in awestruck terms -- "sheer awe at the gold arches." Ghislaine Maxwell approached her while she was reading a book about massage [EFTA01689026]. "I was working at Donald Trump's spa in Mar-a-Lago and I was prompted by Ghislaine to come to Jeffrey's mansion in Palm Beach that afternoon after work." [1090-16] Roberts names many powerful men in her testimony. Clinton. Prince Andrew. Dershowitz. Wexner. She does not name Trump. He was the property owner. But Maxwell did the recruiting. An FBI interview of a different victim's mother captures how this worked: she "heard that a prince and DONALD TRUMP visited EPSTEIN's house and this made [her] think that if they are there then how could EPSTEIN be a criminal" [EFTA00089603]. That is what Epstein did with famous names. He wore used them as bait. As camouflage. If Epstein was associated with so-and-so, then how could he be a predator? Trump, unlike others, immediately put a stop to that. THE ACCUSATIONS Three allegations against Trump exist in the corpus. A Jane Doe civil lawsuit against Epstein's estate alleges that Epstein introduced her to Trump when she was fourteen, "allegedly elbowing Trump and saying, 'This is a good one, right?' Trump smiled and nodded in agreement" [1078-5]. At the Maxwell trial, a victim testified under oath that Epstein introduced her to Trump and took her to Mar-a-Lago when she was fourteen [120-cr-00330/745]. That testimony confirmed the social introduction. It contained no allegation of misconduct by Trump. Defense counsel used Trump's name to establish Epstein's social reach, not to implicate Trump. In 2016, during the presidential campaign, a civil complaint alleged the rape of a thirteen-year-old at Epstein's 71st Street house in the summer of 1994 -- Katie Johnson v. Trump & Epstein [EFTA01386393]. It was filed pro se, dismissed for improper filing, refiled with an attorney, and dropped before trial. It was never proven, never tested under cross-examination, never corroborated by any other witness in the criminal investigation. In August 2017, Epstein told Michael Wolff on tape: "I was Donald's closest friend for 10 years" [wolff_tapes_transcript_exhibit]. He claimed Trump liked to "f--- the wives of his best friends" and that Melania first slept with Trump on Epstein's plane. These recordings were released days before the 2024 election. They are unsworn claims by a convicted pedophile and serial liar to an author -- a man who told the same journalist his week included "woody allen, elon musk, frank gehri... bill gates" [EFTA02561193]. And that pedophile and liar had an axe to grind. A big one. Those are the allegations. What follows is what happened when they were investigated. THE INVESTIGATION The FBI investigated Donald Trump in connection with the Epstein case. The master case index lists him as a "positive case hit" with "salacious information": "Donald Trump (one identified victim claimed abuse by Trump but ultimately refused to cooperate)" [EFTA00161528]. One allegation. One victim who refused to cooperate. No prosecution. The FBI's National Threat Operations Center received four separate complaints naming Trump [EFTA01660679]. A hearsay oral sex claim via a friend-of-friend chain. An anonymous party guest list. A claim about "big orgy parties" from a sixteen-year-old model. A Trump Golf Course allegation "deemed not credible." All anonymous. None corroborated. The Senate Judiciary Committee -- bipartisan, Grassley and Durbin -- reported that FBI personnel were specifically instructed to "flag" any records in which President Trump was mentioned across all 1.39 million documents. The result: no incriminating "client list." No evidence of criminal conduct [senate_judiciary_to_bondi]. The Southern District of New York, which prosecuted the Epstein case, had Trump's phone records in their evidence. Their grand jury presentation includes a message slip showing Trump called Epstein on November 1, 2000 -- a routine call, no message content [EFTA00008599]. The same presentation, same pages, includes message slips reading "She has females for Mr. J.E." Prosecutors had Trump's innocuous call alongside explicit trafficking procurement. They found nothing to charge. Attorney General William Barr, under oath before the House Oversight Committee: "I was never informed of the evidence, and I'm skeptical there is any... if they had evidence, this would've been low-hanging fruit." [oversight_republican_staff_memo] THE ATTORNEY WHO WOULD KNOW Brad Edwards represented Epstein's victims for years. He investigated every lead. He subpoenaed records, deposed witnesses, and built the case that led to federal prosecution. He was the attorney most motivated to find evidence against anyone connected to Epstein. In April 2010, Edwards filed a sworn affidavit: "While research by other plaintiffs' attorneys and myself has uncovered other persons that were acquaintances of Mr. Epstein, specifically Donald Trump, Alan Dershowitz, Bill Clinton, Tommy Mottola, and David Copperfield, we have no information that any of those people (other than Mr. Dershowitz) have spoken to Mr. Epstein about Jane Doe or any of the other specific victims of Mr. Epstein's molestation." [560-03] Edwards' attorney Jack Scarola: "There is no evidence the President was involved in Epstein's schemes" [773-04]. Edwards filed a notice to depose Trump in September 2009 [701]. As a witness. Not as a suspect. He sought Trump's testimony to help the victim's case. And there is this: when Edwards was investigating Epstein, reaching out to the powerful men in Epstein's orbit for cooperation, Trump was the only person who picked up the phone and returned his call [50-2009-CA-040800/549]. The attorney who spent years investigating on behalf of Epstein's victims -- who had every reason to find evidence, every incentive to implicate the powerful -- swore under oath that his investigation found nothing linking Trump to the abuse. When he called, Trump answered. Readily. Trump knew what Epstein was and wanted to talk about it. WHAT THE DOCUMENTS DON'T SHOW Pilot David Rodgers flew Epstein's planes for twenty-eight years. He sat for a seventeen-page FBI interview and reviewed his flight logs covering 1991 through 2007 [EFTA00159180]. Trump appears once: Flight 934, January 5, 1997. Passengers: Epstein, Maxwell, Donald Trump, Mark Epstein, and Didier, a chef. Route: Palm Beach to Newark. No flight in the corpus shows Trump traveling to Little Saint James, to Zorro Ranch, or to any international destination on Epstein's aircraft. Epstein's famous ninety-two-page personal contact book does not contain a "Donald Trump" entry [black-book-redacted]. It lists Robert and Blaine Trump, Ivana Trump, Ivanka Trump, and Trump Management Inc. -- the socialite channel, not Donald. There are zero financial transactions between Trump and Epstein in any direction. No donations. No investments. No advisory fees. No foundation grants. Even Epstein's own defense lawyers, in a motion to pare down a 169-person witness list, argued that Trump had "no connection at all" to the case [1338]. And Epstein himself, in a draft letter, grouped Trump among "friends and other innocent bystanders" whose names had been dragged in by "abusive discovery" [EFTA01128737]. THE COMPARISON The Epstein documents reveal concentric circles of association. At the center: people who were financially entangled, who visited the island repeatedly, who maintained the relationship through and after Epstein's conviction. Trump was not in any of these circles. Woody Allen: 2,613 documents. Nine years of regular contact. Dinner companion. Epstein attended his film shoots. Bill Gates: 2,265 documents. Multiple confirmed meetings. Donations routed through Epstein. Boris Nikolic named in Epstein's will. Reid Hoffman: 1,976 documents. 36 documented gift exchanges. Slept at Epstein's 71st Street mansion. Bill Clinton: 1,586 documents. 147 sexually explicit messages with Maxwell. Multiple confirmed island visits. Flights on Epstein's plane confirmed by his pilot ("ten or twenty times"). Active participation in the post-arrest denial campaign. Larry Summers: 739 documents. Regular dinner companion. Island visits with family. Harvard Program for Evolutionary Dynamics funded through Epstein. Leon Black: 667 documents. $158 million paid to Epstein across a decades-long financial relationship. Elon Musk: 55 documents. Zero financial transactions. Twenty-two months of sporadic, taciturn emails with Epstein chasing Musk, but leaving Epstein little to grab onto. Donald Trump: 40 documents. Zero financial transactions. Zero island visits. One commuter flight. A friendship that ended in 2004, eleven years before the first federal prosecution, after Trump drew the line and Epstein was banned from Mar-a-Lago for his behavior. The only person in Epstein's orbit who returned the victim's attorney's call. Trump's entire file is 1.8% the size of Gates's. WHAT REMAINS These documents show a man who was part of an early social world he did not yet completely understand, who called a predator "terrific" before anyone knew what that predator was, who sent a crude birthday card before there was any reason not to, whose property was used as a hunting ground without his knowledge or permission -- and who, when the investigation came, banned the predator from his club, picked up the phone for the victim's attorney, and was cleared by every investigative body that looked. 40 documents. Every quote verbatim. Every citation verifiable.

It looks like it's time for the hose.

I love how democrats reframe everything to make them sound like saviors. "Lifesaving Reproductive Healthcare" - Killing babies. "Affordable Care Act" - Makes things more expensive. "Gender Affirming Care" -Mutilation of Children. Weasel words hiding the truth. They're evil.

The House just voted to rein in this reckless Iran war. Democrats just forced a vote after Republicans blocked it for months. Americans have had enough with Trump’s military adventurism overseas.

🚨 California Passed "The Stop Nick Shirley Act": This week the California Assembly passed AB 2624. This bill will criminalize investigative journalism involving the immigrant population. It would have made it illegal to expose the Somali "Learing" center if it were in California or the Armenian hospice fraud in LA if they claimed "reasonable fear." The bill protects "immigration support services providers," which means services provided to immigrants, including health care. It has been proven that millions, potentially billions, of dollars in fraud has taken place in "immigrant support services” which includes nonprofits and NGOs the state funds. California is trying to make it harder to expose fraud and scare individuals from investigating it as they could be forced and sued to remove the video, forced to pay attorney fees, and ordered to pay a minimum of $4,000 in damages. This bill was created by Mia Bonta (the attorney general's wife). She has made 4 separate versions of this bill because each version violates the 1st Amendment and is extremely unconstitutional. Plain and simple, California politicians need the fraud to continue because they depend on the fraud to push their agendas. END ALL THE FRAUD.

🚨 A JOURNALIST JUST FILMED INSIDE THE NEWARK ICE PROTEST CAMP. READ THAT AGAIN: Nick Sortor went in with a hidden camera. What he found wasn't a spontaneous protest. It was a fully operational logistics base. – Tens of THOUSANDS of dollars in equipment already on site – Riot gear. Not signs. Not banners. RIOT EQUIPMENT. – Hot food delivered every single hour, on schedule – Medical sections, expensive tents, organized supply chains – This is outside Delaney Hall ICE detention center in Newark, NJ – Protests have been running for over a week — round the clock – Andy Ngo documented week-long violence by Antifa at the same facility – State police had to intervene just to restore basic order – Nobody is asking who is paying for hourly catered deliveries to a protest camp – Nobody is asking who sourced the riot equipment – Nobody is asking who coordinates the resupply logistics for a week-long operation This is not a group of angry citizens who showed up with signs. This is a funded, staffed, continuously resupplied operation with riot capability. Someone is writing checks for this. Someone is organizing the deliveries. Someone made sure the equipment arrived. The protesters didn't just open a door that CANNOT be closed. The funders did. And nobody is looking for them. Follow and turn on notifications before it's too late.

THIS IS YOUR WARNING! DON'T MESS WITH CALIFORNIA'S ELECTIONS.

This is what elite narcissism looks like: rules for you, excuses for them, outrage when consequences arrive. Follow the account for more insight.

NOW: Mamdani says his admin will transfer ownership from bad landlords to non-profits. “For buildings that have suffered chronic neglect, we will work to transfer ownership to responsible stewards. Stewards that include community land trusts, non-profits, or even the tenants themselves.”

I've seen my post all over the internet. Time for another repost here.

1. He was given a judgement for $10,000,000,000 for being targeted by the IRS and the DOJ. His family, his businesses and his personal confidential tax documents were leaked illegally. 2. He decided the ten billion was too much, so it kept $1,776,000,000 and declined the rest. 3. He decided to give it to other people that have been targeted by our Government. To help people that had their lives destroyed by malicious prosecution. Kamala Harris and many other democrats created a compensation fund to bail out BLM and Antifa during the summer of love when they burned down the country. Did you contribute or complain about that? Shut up and sit down. You have the sitting part mastered.

Next time the Dishonest left tell you Trump is a Felon send them this.

And here it is: Twenty years in the making. The State of Georgia: Dominion Rigging Systems declared the wrong winner for the May 22, 2024, DeKalb County, Georgia, District 2 Commission primary. The election board decided to conduct a hand recount to ensure accurate results. The issue only came to light because a candidate received no votes, not a single one in the precinct where she and her husband lived and voted. When she reported the problem to the DeKalb Election Board, they ordered a machine recount, which produced the same results once again. A subsequent hand count revealed that the voting system had shorted the candidate 3,049 of her actual 4,078 votes—over 74% of her total. The system had given 1,456 of her votes to one opponent and failed to count another 1,805 votes. In other words: 2020 “Play it again, Sam.” 📝 Dominion Rigging Systems sold and renamed as "Liberty Vote" doesn’t mean shit. Ban, dismantle, eliminate, and excommunicate every single voting machine across America.

Conventional thinking treats wind and solar as permanent infrastructure. They aren't. These are a form of short life-cycle, industrial gadgetry with roughly 15-to-25-year lifespans. They are all in various stages of permanent decay and replacement - hydrocarbon and nuclear plants last generations. We see this in the mounting graveyards of unsalvageable wreckage. Yes, much of it can be recycled in theory. But in reality, the economic and energy costs usually outweigh the benefits. They are now decomposing faster than we can replace them and this is the Treadmill Effect. If a nation installs 5 GW of wind power every year, by Year 20, they aren't expanding the grid anymore. They are being forced to build 5 GW just to replace the rusted, fatigued and degraded turbines built in Year 1. Growth flatlines, swallowed up in pure maintenance. Look at the scale of this dilemma: despite millions of massive turbines and solar arrays deployed over 40 years, hydrocarbon fuels still dominate at roughly 81% of global primary energy. Solar and wind deliver only a tiny fraction of total primary energy. We've reached the limit. Almost every turbine and panel built over the last two decades is now in the late stages of decomposition. We're struggling just to keep up; and soon we will fall behind. The mines will become hollowed-out and these 'green' rust collectors will fall apart where they stand. To feed this replacement treadmill will need an astronomical volume of minerals: like copper, nickel, cobalt and rare earths. But we have already devoured the high-grade ores. A century ago, copper ore was 5% metal. Today, major mines are crushing ore that is less than 0.5% copper. To get the same tonne of metal, you must blast, haul and crush ten times more rock. This requires more massive, diesel-guzzling mining fleets and heavy industrial smelting. We are cannibalising dense, reliable fossil energy just to chase low-density, short-lived weather collectors. Here is the Einsteinian paradox. In physics, the closer an object gets to the speed of light, the more massive it becomes, requiring exponentially more energy to move it a fraction further. The energy transition is its own relativistic wall. The closer a grid gets to 100% renewable penetration, the greater its structural costs will become. You don't just need more panels; you need a parallel universe of over-building, synchronous condensers, and continent-spanning transmission lines just to handle the asynchronous volatility. We are hitting that Inversion Point. The fossil fuel energy required to mine the rare earths, manufacture the turbines and endlessly replace the dying infrastructure will eventually outpace the net energy the system delivers. You cannot reach the limit of light. Albert Einstein - the ultimate observer of universal limits - would smile at the irony. Net Zero is being driven by an ideological bureaucracy that reads financial blueprints but ignores the periodic table and the laws of thermodynamics. Entropy is universal. Nothing can bypass it. Imagery of rust, mechanical exhaustion and the accumulation of unmanaged composite materials.

The architect who designed the World Trade Center also designed LBJ's crown jewel housing projects. He later said: "It is a job I wish I had never done." The data on what those projects DID to families is worse. Thread 👇
