Scott Jennings, CNN’s sole conservative voice, destroyed the leftist media’s claims that President Trump sent pedophile Jeffrey Epstein a “bawdy” letter on his 50th birthday, three years before his sexual misconduct became public knowledge. The supposed letter was included in a leather-bound album, which the convicted pedophile hid away. 

The propaganda media has taken this story and used it to distract from Trump’s victory in passing the landmark “Big, Beautiful Bill” that slashed over $9 billion in wasteful spending. Jennings was responding to “CNN NewsNight” host Abby Phillip, who brought up the allegations. 

“I mean, my reaction to reading this was, ‘So?’” Jennings said. “I mean, 2003, before anything had happened, we know Donald Trump knew the guy. We also know he disowned him and kicked him out of his club. I was waiting all day long for this rumoring of a bombshell. This looks like kind of a dud to me.”

Meanwhile, President Trump warned that he would sue the Wall Street Journal, and Rupert Murdoch personally, for failing to acknowledge that the alleged letter is fake.

“The Wall Street Journal, and Rupert Murdoch, personally, were warned directly by President Donald J. Trump that the supposed letter they printed by President Trump to Epstein was a FAKE and, if they print it, they will be sued,” Trump wrote on the social media network, Truth Social.

The president claimed that Murdoch had promised to address the fake letter, but obviously failed to handle the situation. The Wall Street Journal‘s Emma Tucker was also warned by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt that the letter was fake, but reporedly “didn’t want to hear that.” 

As a result of the letter being published, Mr. Trump is Suing the Wall Street Journal, NewsCorp., and Mr. Murdoch personally.

“The Press has to learn to be truthful, and not rely on sources that probably don’t even exist,” Trump added. “President Trump has already beaten George Stephanopoulos/ABC, 60 Minutes/CBS, and others, and looks forward to suing and holding accountable the once great Wall Street Journal.”

In the mean time, CNN’s chief data analyst Harry Enten was stunned that Trump’s popularity among Republicans soared amid the Epstein outrage that Democrats have tried to foment. According to a CNN poll, Trump’s popularity has increased from 86% to 88% among Republicans. Quinnipiac’s poll found that the president’s popularity had increased from 87% to 90%.

“You might think his approval ratings were going down with Republicans—if anything, they’re going up,” Enten said.

“He is at the apex, or close thereto, in terms of his popularity with Republican voters,” Enten added.

According to Enten, less than 1% of Republican voters feel that the Epstein debacle is among the country’s top concerns. 

“On X, all you hear about is the Epstein files,” he said, “but how about out in the real public?”

“Not 1%—one respondent,” he lamented.

“Because the bottom line is most Americans say it’s not high up on their priority list,” he continued.

Enten opined that Trump’s credibility has not suffered because the Epstein debacle hasn’t caused widespread nationwide outrage.

While many Americans want to know the truth behind the Epstein files, other issues, such as border security and the economy, dominate the minds of ordinary people.

House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) has questioned all of Biden’s clemencies, pardons, and executive orders following the former president’s admission that he might not have been in control of all the decisions.

While Biden claimed that he made “every decision,” He told the New York Times that he “orally granted all the pardons and commutations issued at the end of his term.” However, he did not approve each name, and the list was changed afterwards, but he did not sign off on the changes.

In late June, former Biden advisor Neera Tanden admitted to controlling the autopen without knowing who had approved its use. It was later established that the House staff secretary, Ms. Stefanie Feldman, processed the pardons and clemencies issued via the autopen. 

While Biden orally gave orders and established the criteria for pardoning inmates, and Feldman relied on these oral orders, specific information regarding the inmates kept changing, therby changing the list. It appears than anyone could be put on or off the list without Biden’s approval, raising questions about the entire process.

Additionally, officials who wrote the communiques that Feldman relied on to authenticate Biden’s oral orders were not in the room when the Biden approved the pardons.  

“I think it would be a hard pitch in front of a court of law to try to defend what Joe Biden just admitted to The New York Times — that he didn’t know exactly who all was getting pardons or not,” Comer told Hannity. “He didn’t know who was being pardoned with the use of his autopen, and that’s the whole basis of this investigation.”

Comer also called into question Biden’s executive orders, which may have been approved through this same process. In early 2024, House Speaker Mike Johnson confronted Biden over the freezing of liquid natural gas (LNG) exports to Europe amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine. However, Biden could not recall signing the executive order, just weeks after the exports were halted.

“Why would you do that? Cause you understand we just talked about Ukraine, you understand you are fueling Vladimir Putin’s war machine, because they gotta get their gas from him,” Johnson said, according to the New York Post.

“I didn’t do that,” Biden replied. Johnson said he believed the former president “genuinely didn’t know what he had signed.”

“This is just the pardons,” Comer added. “What about the executive orders? I mean, there was no process that we have found thus far.”

The House Oversight Chair said ongoing interviews had so far failed to establish a clear process for authorizing the use of the autopen.

“We’ve brought in four people in our interviews and depositions — no defined process by which Joe Biden was the one saying, ‘Yes, use this autopen to sign my name on this pardon or this executive order,’” Comer said.

The Republican lawmaker also questioned whether the former President was even mentally capable of understanding what he was signing.

“We’re just talking about signing your name — one signature,” he added. “It doesn’t even take into account whether or not he was mentally able to understand what he was even signing.”

According to Rep. Comer, these unanswered questions raise serious concerns about all the pardons that Biden issued at the end of his presidency.

“This is bad, and I think this puts all of those pardons in peril from the Biden administration,” he concluded.

A recent survey has painted a grim picture of the party’s popularity among American voters. Conducted by Democratic super PAC “Unite the Country” between May and June 2025, the survey found that the liberal party’s credibility has tanked dramatically.

“The Democratic Party’s credibility with voters has plummeted even further since the 2024 election, raising alarm bells as the party looks to rebuild ahead of the midterms and the next presidential election, according to a poll obtained by The Hill,” the far-left media outlet reported.

According to The Hill, the survey found that most American voters said the Democratic Party was “out of touch,” “woke,” and “weak.”

Among White and Hispanic men, as well as working-class Americans across the board, support for the Democratic Party has tanked to under 35%. Gone are the days when the Democratic Party was considered the advocate for middle-class Americans. Instead, illegal immigrants from foreign countries enjoy more privileges than hard-working Americans who hit a rough patch after losing their jobs and require some assistance to get back on their feet.

Hardworking Americans end up homeless, living on the streets, or in their cars. Conversely, foreign nationals who break our laws by entering the country illegally are housed in luxury hotels, provided with hot meals and free healthcare.

“This is the reality of the perception of us as a party, and until we accept that, it’s going to be hard to move forward,” said Democratic Party’s strategist and Unite America super PAC’s senior advisor Rodell Mollineau. “There’s a perception out there, outside of Democratic elites, and it’s taken hold in not just the MAGA crowd but people that should be with us.”

Mollineau advised the Democratic Party to acknowledge this fact and improve, rather than prioritizing winning the next election. Despite this, the now radical party is more focused on opposing Trump rather than asking what Americans want. 

Issues like ending men’s participation in women’s sports, putting a stop to the medical mutilation for minors, and the deportation of criminal illegal immigrants receive widespread support among American voters. However, the Democratic Party swims against the tide just to be in opposition to Trump’s polices. To the radical Dems, Trump is the biggest threat to our democracy, despite promoting policies that the majority of Americans support.

“An AP-NORC poll out in May revealed that only 35 percent of surveyed Democrats are optimistic about the party’s future, compared with 57 percent in July 2024,” The Hill also reported. “And there is an overwhelming sense that the party lacks strong leaders, the same poll showed.”

The outlet also reported that donors were reconsidering bankrolling the party due to its lack of support and enthusiasm. Ironically, Democrat leadership believes it can generate more enthusiasm for the party by supporting illegal immigrants and inconveniencing ordinary Americans by supporting anti-ICE riots.

Just recently, anti-ICE rioters were roundly villified for mocking and berating a black woman, who begged to be allowed to pass in order to avoid losing her job her ability to support her family.

The Democratic Party performed poorly in 21 battleground counties and 10 battleground states. According to Politico’s Political Editor Steve Shepard, Trump won all battleground states (archive), after flipping all that supposedly “voted against” him in 2020.

The Hill reported that the overall perception of voters toward the Democratic Party remains negative, casting a long shadow on its prospects for the future. Its attempts to recover from the 2024 presidential election and subsequent midterm losses have been thus far unsuccessful.

“Democrats have been searching for a way out of the wilderness since their devastating loss in November, when they not only lost the presidency once again to President Trump but also the House and Senate,” the Hill noted. “Since then, party officials have conducted a number of postmortems — including polls, focus groups and strategy sessions — as part of the party’s rebuilding effort.”

Only time will tell if they get the message that the American People are giving them.

Former President Joe Biden addressed the use of an autopen, defending the practice that has drawn scrutiny from both Republican lawmakers and the current administration.

During an interview with The New York Times, which focused on the use of the autopen to authorize clemency for more than 1,500 individuals during the final weeks of his presidency, Biden said he personally made the decisions behind the clemency effort.

“We’re talking about [granting clemency to] a whole lot of people,” Biden said.

However, The Times reported that Biden “did not individually approve each name for the categorical pardons that applied to large numbers of people,” according to his aides.

The report said he “signed off on the standards he wanted to be used to determine which convicts would qualify for a reduction in sentence” after discussions about possible criteria.

White House aides implemented the criteria once approved, and the autopen was used to affix Biden’s signature to the final documents.

The decision to use the autopen was made to avoid having the president repeatedly sign updated versions of official paperwork, according to the report.

The use of the device has become the subject of scrutiny, with President Trump and others raising questions about how often it was used and whether it was appropriate.

Trump directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to open a Department of Justice investigation into the use of the autopen last month.

In a memo sent to the DOJ, Trump questioned whether the use of the device was connected to concerns about Biden’s mental acuity.

“In recent months, it has become increasingly apparent that former President Biden’s aides abused the power of Presidential signatures through the use of an autopen to conceal Biden’s cognitive decline and assert Article II authority,” Trump wrote.

“This conspiracy marks one of the most dangerous and concerning scandals in American history. The American public was purposefully shielded from discovering who wielded the executive power, all while Biden’s signature was deployed across thousands of documents to effect radical policy shifts.”

Trump also addressed the issue with the media, saying he found the use of the autopen “inappropriate,” even though previous administrations have used it in limited instances.

“Usually, when they put documents in front of you, they’re important,” Trump said.

“Even if you’re signing ambassadorships or — and I consider that important — I think it’s inappropriate.”

“You have somebody that’s devoting four years of their life or more to being an ambassador. I think that person deserves to get a real signature… not an autopen signature.”

Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) let loose on former White House ethics lawyer Richard Painter during a Senate Banking Committee hearing meant to examine cryptocurrency legislation this week.

Painter, an outspoken critic of political campaign contributions from the cryptocurrency industry, took aim at lawmakers like Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), becoming the highlight of Wednesday’s confrontation.

“Mr. Painter, do you think Senator Gillibrand is a crook?” Kennedy asked bluntly at the start of a tense exchange.

“No, and I do not think all politicians are crooks,” Painter replied.

Kennedy pressed him further. “Then why did you call her a crook?”

“I did not call her a crook,” Painter responded.

As tensions flared, Kennedy referenced a tweet where Painter noted that Senator Gillibrand had received over $200,000 in crypto-related campaign donations.

“You tweeted that,” Kennedy said.

“And then you said, ‘The crypto industry is buying Congress and the White House. This won’t end well.’ Why do you think the crypto industry is buying Senator Gillibrand?”

Watch:

The hearing, which primarily focused on the proposed CLARITY Act — a bill designed to define regulatory jurisdiction over digital assets between the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) — rapidly descended into personal accusations and name-calling.

The CLARITY Act originated in the House and is scheduled for a vote next week, where it is expected to pass.

The Senate is now playing catch-up after passing the GENIUS Act last month, which set a framework for stablecoin regulation.

Painter defended his comments, highlighting the influx of crypto money into politics.

“I said, look at the campaign contributions from this industry,” he said.

“There is a massive amount of campaign contributions coming into this Congress from the crypto industry.”

Kennedy fired back, “You think they’ve bought her?”

However, Painter refused to back down.

“Senator, you need to focus on this bill instead of trying to distort my Twitter.”

The argument appeared to spiral as Kennedy accused Painter of calling Gillibrand a crook and demanded an apology.

“Do you want to apologize to Senator Gillibrand?” Kennedy asked.

Painter snapped back.

“I do not, I want you to have to apologize for passing legislation that destroys our economy. You are distorting what I said, just like you did in the last hearing. You’re wasting everybody’s time, Senator.”

“You’re a whack job,” Kennedy then added.

“You are a next-level whack job!”

The liberals have not been sending their best women, have they? It’s funny how six decades of feminist triumphs have produced what looks to be the most under-qualified class of female politicians in living memory, at least on the liberal side. 

Turn on C-SPAN and you’re almost certain to hear a Democrat congresswoman or senator with a shrewish tone scolding a conservative, and usually a man. These are not women who “just wanted equality,” they’re harridans who resent competent men. They’ve made whole careers out of lecturing men on how mean and sexist and just all around bad they are. It starts to sound an awful lot like jealousy. 

The hags hate Hegseth. Pete Hegseth, that is, the Secretary of Defense. A good looking, fit, intelligent man with on the ground military experience seems to drive leftist women insane. Here’s California Democrat Representative Sara Jacobs offering to “educate” Hegseth on “trans women.”

The discussion is about President Trump’s ban on “transgender” people in the military. Rep. Jacobs is pretending to believe that big old men in dresses with fetishes, like Admiral Richard “Rachel” Levine, are actually women. Pete was having none of it: “These are men. What we’ve identified is that there are mental health issues with that.”

Or take Nevada Democrat Senator Jacky Rosen, who was practically foaming at the mouth because Hegseth reminded her that her question time had expired. 

Nobody does it quite like Jasmine Crockett, though. The Texan brings da hood to da house with her put-on ghetto accent. Like many Democrat female politicians, Crockett believes she can build a career on attitude alone. Get this–the woman thinks that she, herself, is entitled to get “advanced” (yes, she said “advanced”) information about military actions before the president takes them!

Apologies in advance for the fluttering tarantula eyelashes:

Other X/Twitter users were suitably amused:

Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) told Bill Maher that the ongoing attacks on federal agents in Los Angeles and other blue cities will backfire on the Democratic Party and help President Donald Trump.

Fetterman had been receiving backlash after he condemned last week’s unrest in Los Angeles.

The riots resulted in several injuries to ICE agents and L.A. law enforcement officers, who were hit by rocks, Molotov cocktails, and fireworks.

The chaos prompted President Trump to deploy National Guard personnel and U.S. Marines to restore some semblance of order.

“I unapologetically stand for free speech, peaceful demonstrations, and immigration—but this is not that,” the senator wrote in an X post this past Monday.

“This is anarchy and true chaos,” Fetterman continued.

“My party loses the moral high ground when we refuse to condemn setting cars on fire, destroying buildings, and assaulting law enforcement.”

Maher predicted that the instantly infamous photo of a rioter waving a Mexican flag on a burned car will soon come back to haunt the Democratic Party.

“When they see it in a campaign ad, when they see the guy with the Mexican flag and the Waymo burning behind him, it’s going to be good for Trump,” he said.

Fetterman agreed, adding that Americans do not want to see Los Angeles “on fire twice in just six months now.”

He continued:

“And those optics, I just run that through — like what’s the people in Scranton might see those kinds of images and those kinds of videos?”

Maher later noted that he and the senator have received flak from the left for meeting with President Trump in recent weeks.

Watch:

“They also seem to go after you because you will talk to the other side. You talked to Trump, we all know that’s bad,” Maher, who had dinner with the president, joked.

“We’re one of the few people that will actually have dinner with Trump,” Fetterman followed up.

Maher then asked about Fetterman’s dinner with former White House chief advisor Steve Bannon.

“I hate to use fake news, but I was just hanging out talking with the other side,” Fetterman said of the meeting.

“Now people think I’m going to turn into MAGA, and I’m going to go this other way. My values haven’t changed. Our parties’ values have changed. I’m not going to change my party.”

However, Fetterman said he will not be voting for the Trump-backed “Big Beautiful Bill,” which more than triples funding for border security.

“The big beautiful bill, I’m going to vote that down,” Fetterman said.

“I’m never going to be part of the 40 trillion club.”

“It’s incredibly dangerous. If they pass the BBB, that will change our nation. That will truly impact millions and millions of people,” Fetterman said.

“Rules for thee but not for me” should be the official motto of the Democrat Party. When conservatives protest at the Capitol over the 2020 election, those Americans are “insurrectionists” and “traitors.” But when Mexican and other foreign nationals wave Mexican flags and set fire to downtown Los Angeles, those people are merely the “unheard” who have “no other way to voice their concerns.”

It’s just like when Black Lives Matter burned cities across the U.S. to “protest” the death of felon and drug addict George Floyd. As long as you’re black or brown, and you hate white people and law and order, you’re covered under the Most Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Jr.’s expression, “riots are the voice of the unheard.”

Lots of liberals are very, very angry that the Trump administration is enforcing immigration law. Officers from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have been increasing their activity, raiding neighborhoods and workplaces to ferret out illegal aliens who’ve been hiding in America and putting a burden on social order and tax dollars. Democrats never met a foreigner they didn’t love (and they’ve never met a white American they don’t hate), so they’ve turned their attention from cartel “heart throb” Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador toward law enforcement officials at home.

Wasn’t it just last month when Democrat lawmakers were flying to the Central American country to do a “wellness check” on the guy? 

Check out California’s Alex Padilla. He’s one of the two Democrat senators from the Golden State. Instead of raising his hand to ask a question of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Padilla bum-rushed the stage. The footage is remarkable. Panting and out of breath as if he were in a state of agitation, Padilla tries to rush through a blockade of security guards and puts his hands up like he’s getting ready to box them. 

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt struck the right note, calling Padilla’s behavior “childish.” He was, of course, handcuffed and arrested. 

Padilla’s Democrat colleagues think their boy is above the law, and that it’s outrageous that police stopped him from rushing Secretary Noem. How very dare they arrest him? 

Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said that watching the video “sickened his stomach,” but that seems unlikely considering Schumer eats raw hamburgers with unmelted cheese. 

Will the public see Padilla as a desperate man who couldn’t be heard? Or will they agree with Leavitt?

Oops! Caught by his own words:

Remarkably, liberal CNN actually seems to understand that Padilla’s behavior was wrong. 

There’s always one guy:
