"The Department of Justice released roughly 30,000 additional pages from the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, referred to as a new tranche under ongoing congressional transparency requirements.
The documents include flight logs, internal emails, and correspondence that reference President Donald Trump's social interactions with Epstein during the 1990s. A 2020 prosecutor email notes that Trump flew on Epstein's private jet multiple times between 1993 and 1996, often in the presence of Ghislaine Maxwell. These associations were already broadly known, and the DOJ stated that the new materials do not contain evidence of criminal wrongdoing by Trump.
The department also emphasized that some submissions in the files include unverified and sensational allegations submitted to the FBI around the 2020 election, adding that credible claims would have been pursued at the time if supported by evidence.
While the release adds detail to Epstein's social network, it does not introduce substantiated new accusations against Trump or other high-profile figures. Critics across the political spectrum continue to question redactions and the pace of disclosure, while the DOJ maintains it is balancing transparency with victim protection."
"Philosopher Karl Popper identified the paradox of tolerance: a society that tolerates those who would destroy tolerance itself eventually loses the capacity for tolerance altogether. When Western nations have allowed parallel legal systems or declined to enforce their own laws in the name of cultural sensitivity, the result hasn't been harmonious pluralism--it's been the creation of spaces where Western freedoms don't apply.
The judge who releases a dangerous offender isn't exercising compassion. He's abdicating the responsibility to protect the innocent.
The uncomfortable truth is that preserving a civilization that allows maximum individual choice requires making collective choices about what threatens that freedom. Not choosing--letting things drift in the name of tolerance or avoiding controversy--is itself choosing eventual subjugation to those less conflicted about exercising power.
Individuals must choose to protect the freedom of choice. That is the inheritance we received, and that is the responsibility we bear. The world moves on whether we engage or not. The only question is whether we will decide our own fate--or let someone else decide it for us."
"There is a danger that the individual comes to believe that just because his voice is amplified and reaches halfway around the world, that he is therefore more intelligent, more discerning, than he was when his voice only reached from one end of the bar to the other." -Edward. R. Murrow
I know people hate links to outside websites, but please humor me on this one. I'm not familiar with the 1942 movie that this video clip comes from, but it has Katherine Hepburn in it and the points seem valid today.
Speaking of which, here is 27 year old Benjamin A. McComas of Avon Lake, Ohio:
Mr. McComas, sadly, is not alive at the moment. About a week ago, he was shot to death while waiting for a train in Cleveland, Ohio.
Here is Donnie Allen:
Mr. Allen has been unable to articulate any particular reason for wanting to murder McComas, it appears to have been a spontaneous and random act.
If only there had been some way to foresee that Mr. Allen might be likely to commit violent crimes.
Oh, wait...
Mr. Allen actually had quite a rap sheet, including burglary, assault, and drug possession. At the time of the shooting, he was on pretrial release for his most recent spate of violent criminal acts.
Here is Judge Joy Kennedy:
The Honorable Judge Kennedy originally set Mr. Allen's bond for the most recent in his series of increasingly violent arrests at $15,000, and then lowered it to $8,000 on Dec 8. The following day, his bond was paid by a Venice California-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization called The Bail Project, and five days after that, Mr. McComas was dead.
Here is Robin Steinberg, who is no doubt enjoying the Hanukkah festivities with her family at their luxurious high-rise condo in Manhattan at the moment:
Mrs. Steinberg graduated from U.C. Berkeley in 1978 with a degree in Women's Studies, and then attended Law School at NYU. She is the founder of the The Bail Project, which exists for the sole purpose of bailing criminals out of jail.
I suppose that noticing patterns here would be racist.
"The Department of Justice announced it has uncovered more than one million additional documents potentially related to the Jeffrey Epstein case. The files are being reviewed for release under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, signed last month.
This follows criticism over earlier releases that many felt were incomplete or overly redacted. DOJ says processing will take weeks due to victim-protection requirements but insists it is complying with the law."

I guess all we can do now is wait to be disappointed.
It's Monday, which means that the Republicans who control a majority of both houses of congress in addition to the executive branch are hard at work writing politely-worded letters requesting more information so that they can hold a committee meeting in order to pass a resolution agreeing to continue not doing anything which actually benefits the American people at all.
