Dear MAGA: 20250724 ✾ Thank God ± Theistic Evolution ∈ Thursday Open Topic


This man, making Christmas calls from the White House, believes the world is a sphere. And he has even flown around it! So has our beautiful FLOTUS, who happens to be his wife!

Truth and common sense must be valued by us, as individuals, in order to lastingly disempower the authoritarian fake news media. This includes the perniciously smarmy science media, which never answers for its errors and lies. I believe that the media has been responsible not only for leftist pathologies like scientism, medical fascism, and radical gender ideology, but also for reactionary movements like modern flat Earth, rejection of all medicine, and Biblical geological literalism.


Just as Wheatie’s Stormwatch Monday Open Thread was created as a place for people to openly express their thoughts and opinions, so, too, is this Thank God Thursday Open Thread, where honest but civil discussion of all topics is encouraged. This thread is also to be known as Theistic Evolution Thursdays, due to the author’s expected “pontification” about his scientific, religious, and political opinions. You are welcome to pontificate back! Free speech matters!

Please label all AI-generated content as being such, unless it is patently obvious (e.g., humorous AI images). It is important that we as individuals not begin to pretend that socially derived artificial intelligence is actually our own, as this form of stealthy social information averaging and feedback would be one more pretense and deception between people, in service of stupid Marxist socialism, and of those who wish to substitute their communally protected lies for actual truth.

The source of alleged truth matters, not for the truth itself, but for validation.

And yes, it’s THURSDAY…again.

And that’s it. We’re done stealing from Wheatie.

OK – maybe her rules need to be posted.

  • No food fights.
  • No running with scissors.
  • If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

Other rules may be derivable from these, and that conjecture is left for discussion.


If there is nothing beyond the “W” below, then this is a placeholder. For health reasons, I can’t always post a timely opinion before each Thursday, but I will try. Otherwise, you have this placeholder post, where YOU provide the content. Enjoy!

Why Current Electric Vehicles Suck As “Reliable” Transportation – And What Might Be Done About It

We were discussing electric vehicles here, when Aubergine made an important point – quite bluntly, the superiority of internal combustion engines at simply getting the job done.

Dude, I live in Montana. Until an electric vehicle reliably runs in -20 degrees, can go several hundred miles without a charge, and can be easily repaired in the middle of a wheat field, they are not going to work here.

Gasoline and diesel engines are practical, EVs are not.

Some of this is inherent to the technology. Gasoline and diesel oil doesn’t lose energy availability at low temperatures, but batteries DO. This is a well-established problem with electric vehicles (EVs).

LINK: https://www.forbes.com/sites/jimgorzelany/2025/02/10/heres-which-evs-fare-the-best-in-frigid-weather-tests-show

Note Aubergine’s point about “easily repaired in the middle of a wheat field” – and just consider the simple “repair” of bringing a gallon or two of gasoline to a vehicle which has run out of gas. Yes, there are electrical options – but the equivalent of walking for a gallon of gas isn’t one of them. The closest thing is calling in a jumper truck instead of a tow truck. This shows how much convenience is given up by leaving the simple, long-solved convenience of the internal combustion engine.

But it gets worse.

Barkerjim posted a link to a really great analysis, showing why EVs will NEVER be “quick fill-ups” using the current technology.

LINK: https://wattsupwiththat.com/2025/07/04/why-your-ev-wont-fill-up-in-five/

The TL;DR is this.

ChiCom-sponsored brag science is claiming they have a new battery that can basically solve all the problems of EV batteries. The oh-so-trustworthy Huawei is saying the battery can give ranges of 1800 miles and a 5-minute recharge.

Really?

You mean THIS stuff is solved?

Sorry – not really.

The reality is quite problematic, and Willis Eschenbach explains why.

But, as usual, reality is hiding out in the fine print, ducking the spotlight while the PR machine does its victory lap. Nobody wants to talk about physics. Nobody asks how, exactly, you’re supposed to pour Niagara Falls through a garden hose.

I urge you to read the article.

And it STILL gets worse. As SteveInCO pointed out:

Left unsaid in all of that is the fact that that cable is NOT very flexible. So you’re going to have to park far away from the charger just to have enough flex in the cable to be able to attach it to your car. And it will still take two hours to charge your car because it’s only 1/24th of what you need.

The reason this problem doesn’t already exist at supercharging stations is that the car is only charging up for 300 miles, not 1800 miles.

This is where my mind typically gets BIOS-booted back into “utter basics of batteries” mode – where we just look at the chemistry of “redox” – meaning “oxidation and reduction”.

Rust, fire, human metabolism, copper cleanser, and batteries, are all examples of redox. Oxidation and reduction is what batteries do, only with rerouting of the electrons into an electrically useful pathway, instead of “just heat”. The battery is an ingenious perversion of fire, one might say.

And yet, this.

Batteries are – fundamentally – just chemical reactions. And that has consequences.

Interestingly, the inverse is also true.

Direct chemical reactions can be viewed as ultimately short-circuited, failing batteries.

And it gets bigger. Planet sized, in fact.

The biosphere on Earth is a kind of giant, solar-charging battery. Plants are the key – the thing that makes the battery, resulting in biocarbon and oxygen. Land plants store the energy as wood and oxygen.

The oxygen part of the battery encompasses the entire planet, which is a bit of a mind-blower, and has some amazing implications. The wood part of the battery may degrade to coal or petroleum, but either way, sunlight creates a giant charged battery. That battery can then discharge through FIRE. And, that fire can be converted to electricity.

California could take advantage of this giant battery, and turn its wood problem into money, but under intellectual “progressive” lightweights like Gavin Newsom, that can’t happen. Sad.

The internal combustion engine is the same, only it uses really old wood. AND – in a strange sense – it’s like an EV that works through battery discharge of heat, and not by any direct electrical intervention.

Now that I’ve loosened up your mind a bit about what is a battery and what is a chemical reaction, let’s look at why internal combustion is such a great type of EV.

Can We Use The Great Oxygen Battery Component?

For one thing, the internal combustion battery takes advantage of atmospheric oxygen as the “oxidant” part of the battery. That is a huge part of the battery weight that does not have to be hauled around. That part of the battery is already wherever you want to be.

Likewise, the discharged part of the battery (CO2 and H2O) is simply ejected into the shared global atmospheric battery, where these substances can be recycled by the solar generator (plants) and converted back into wood and oxygen.

Yeah, take a moment to savor the beauty of what God hath wrought through “just” the Schroedinger equation and the periodic table!

BEAUTY PAUSE.

Ok, back to stuff.

If we’re going to stick with lithium (or similar) batteries, the electrical vehicle is always going to be stuck with hauling ALL of the battery around. Both the oxidant and the reducing agent are going for the ride. And THAT includes the “used” oxidant and reducing agent. The full battery – even the discharged stuff – is going for the full ride, and is being hauled around by the good stuff.

SO – my first point – is that it sure would be nice if the EV battery could use oxygen as the oxidizing agent.

JUST SAYIN’.

This needs research, and isn’t a quick fix. But it offers future possibilities.

So setting that ambitious point aside, let’s go back to the points made by Willis and SteveInCO.

Can We Make Electricity Delivery Fast Like Gasoline?

How can we make gas service station stops SHORT and SWEET?

IMO, moving back toward a SHARED BATTERY like the atmosphere can work in several ways other than oxygen. One way would be to make the fuel something that you can just load into the car quickly and drive away. If car batteries were more like rechargeable device batteries – meaning they just slid in and out of vehicles – then energy stops would pretty much be as fast as racing pit stops, if one needed a fresh, charged battery. Just swap batteries and move on down the road.

With a scheme like this, the infrastructure for charging batteries could be located either in service stations, or nearby. Charging on the road becomes something that is done away from the consumer, except when home charging.

Note also that “swap-in” battery units can be very smart and the latest tech. The latest battery tech becomes a lot like the grade of the gasoline. Even better, the battery becomes something that can change technologies quickly, evolving faster than the vehicles themselves.

Battery units can be “self-warming” to get maximum energy release. They can be delivered warm and ready to work on the coldest day. They can keep themselves warm, as needed. They become their own thing – less of a concern for most drivers.

My most important point, however, has nothing to do with the chemistry or electrical technology.

Let All Batteries Fight It Out

To recover the innovation of “non-gasoline batteries”, we have to AVOID both unnecessary regulations and subsidies. Let these technologies compete, so that they can evolve. It is my contention that subsidies have distorted the technology of electric vehicles. EVs are not convenient in certain ways, because the “technosphere” of EVs had one focus of its geometry moved too close to individuals and their homes, due to subsidies administered through individuals.

That approach worked for a while, but it has led to technology which has limited the growth of EVs, and has held EVs back from being the industry that they could have been. Microsoft – for all its problems – knew that it had to create an ecosystem around itself, and let other forces drive significant parts of that ecosystem. EVs need to do the same. Off-loading “batteries” and “battery service” into largely separate industries that others can monetize and innovate in, could be the right move here.

Let gas and coal compete – and at all levels of organization! IMO, coal-powered vehicles like Teslas have a great future, especially as nuclear-powered vehicles. However, they will need to go through growing pains.

As Trump likes to say…..

Thank you for your attention to this matter (and energy)!

Given the hysteria around the Epstein Files and the unsigned memo, I thought I would document this historic happening. The timeline, using comments by Q-Treeoers, is at the bottom of the article. I decided to start off with the more current happenings and various peoples takes on this mess.

HONEYPOT ☙ Friday, July 18, 2025 ☙ C&C NEWS 🦠


….The Grand Jury testimony represents the best version of the case the DOJ believed it could prove, before Epstein’s death, before redactions, and without political caution. It’s the raw indictment pitch, presented to citizens in private, without spin or PR filter. Unlike rumors, anonymous leaks, or pages of potentially related or unrelated documents, grand jury material is presented under oath. The witnesses are sworn. The evidence is carefully cataloged. It’s all been formally curated by prosecutors…. [<== NOTE PROSECUTORS as in M. Comey! GC]


SITREP Ep. 122: Weaponized Institutions, Border Games, and War Crimes – Featuring Reeve Swainston

Reeve is a former Marine and DOJ prosecutor. @ 25 minutes he says that Maurene Comey would be the one who asked the judge to have the Maxwell case SEALED. As far as unsealing the Grand Jury material, @ 28 minutes, Reeve says it is a ‘heavy lift’ and would need court approval. Generally it is NEVER disclosed. This is the same thing Jeff Childers says. [She was at SDNY in 2014 & became assistant US attorney (SDNY) 👉in May 2016. Wiki]

@ 1:13:00 Brian Lupo comments that he thinks the only one who has actually acknowledge that memo is Caroline Levitt. He does not recall anyone else acknowledging it. He also thinks that AXIOS by putting it out before the Trump admin was ready has put them back on their heels and made them defensive.

@ 1:14:10 Alpha says he thinks it is Kayfabe. He notes that the Trump admin was ready this time. People are fired, arrested and moved the minute there is a problem. This tells you they are being watched. Tonight [Jul 17] Trump put out the Grand Jury request to Bondi. Did you see how fast she replied? Under five minutes. There is not how fast one moves on such large scale things. He thinks Bondi does nothing critical that is not approved by Trump. That request to Bondi would have caused a Schiff storm that would require lots of scrambling if it was not pre-approved and coordinated by Trump.

@ 1:16:30 Brian Lupo says it was 30 minutes to be fair and then corrects @ 1:21:00. Bondi published at 9:09 pm and Trump at 9:07 pm – TWO MINUTES, which is very fast. Brian then reiterates the conversation that he and Reeves had before Alpha showed up. He says Trump specified the release is SUBJECT TO COURT APPROVAL and Grand Jury testimony is very confidential… Alpha: I think we will get another Rug Pull… or they might release a partial transcript [NOTICE either way it then transfers the ‘Black Eye’ TO the COURTS. 😉 GC]

Brian & Alpha then go into how they might fabricate Epstein evidence against Trump. Alpha notes they were surveilling Trump and could have matched times when Trump had no alibi with times when Epstein was not in public view.

A quick look at wether or not Alpha’s fabricating evidence idea is possible. Given what they did to General Flynn & Trump the first go round, we KNOW the FIB will fabricate evidence.


Epstein Arrests

In 2005, police in Palm Beach, Florida, began investigating Epstein after a parent reported that he had sexually abused her 14-year-old daughter. Federal officials identified 36 girls, some as young as 14 years old, whom Epstein had allegedly sexually abused.[9] Epstein pleaded guilty and was convicted in 2008 by a Florida state court of procuring a child for prostitution and of soliciting a prostitute…. Epstein was arrested again on July 6, 2019, on federal charges for the sex trafficking of minors in Florida and New York – Wiki


FISA Warrants

Federal officials identified 36 girls, some as young as 14 years old, whom Epstein had allegedly sexually abused.[9] Epstein pleaded guilty and was convicted in 2008 by a Florida state court of procuring a child for prostitution and of soliciting a prostitute….

FISA Warrants

The FBI had surveilled Carter Page under a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant beginning in 2013 or 2014, on concerns that Russian intelligence was attempting to recruit him.[54][63] Trump announced his candidacy for president in June 2015, and Page joined his campaign on March 21, 2016.[64][65] After Michael Isikoff of Yahoo! News reported on September 23, 2016, that Page was being investigated by American intelligence for his contacts with Russian agents,[66] Page immediately left the Trump campaign, while two campaign spokesmen denied he had ever been a part of it.[67][68]

During the summer of 2016, the FBI applied for a warrant to conduct surveillance on four members of the Trump campaign, but this application was rejected by the FISA court as too broad.[69] On October 21, 2016, the FBI filed a new FISA warrant application for Page alone, expressing the FBI’s belief that the Russian government was collaborating with Page and possibly others associated with the Trump campaign,[70] and that Page had been the subject of targeted recruitment by Russian intelligence agencies.. — Wiki

There was also the Alfa-Bank mess and probably private detectives hired by the Hillary campaign.

…In July, BuzzFeed News reports that, from December 2014 to the summer of 2017, numerous suspicious money transfers were made between Paul Erickson’s accounts, including Wells Fargo Bank accounts, an undisclosed law firm, the NRA of America,[a] Jack Abramoff’s son Alex and Abramoff’s brother Robert’s company Landfair Capital Consulting, which was founded in March 2017, and Maria Butina’s Alfa-Bank account .[38] Investigators from Wells Fargo reported these suspicious money transfers to the United States Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and to the FBI.[38] — Wiki


Jack Abramoff

Jack Allan Abramoff is an American lobbyist, businessman, film producer, writer, and convicted criminal.[1][2] He was at the center of an extensive federal corruption investigation,[3] which resulted in his conviction and 21 others either pleading guilty or being found guilty,[4] including White House officials J. Steven Griles and David Safavian, U.S. Representative Bob Ney, and nine other lobbyists and congressional aides. — Wiki

Maria Butina

…her [Maria Butina] first known financial transaction with Erickson was much earlier than that. In December 2014, she sent a pair of wires from her Alfa Bank account to Erickson in the US. They totaled $8,000, and Butina noted they were for “grant assistant.”BuzzFeed

NSA & American citizen unmasking

On June 6, 2017, Dennis Montgomery and his lawyer Larry Klayman, who founded both Judicial Watch and Freedom Watch, sued the FBI and its former director, James Comey.

Obama Regime, NSA, Comey, Mueller Illegally Spied & Unmasked 20M American Citizens

Dennis Montgomery, a former US Intelligence contractor is suing James Comey and other government figures for covering-up evidence he provided them proving widespread surveillance and unmasking on more than 20 Million American citizens.

Circa is reporting that Montgomery says the evidence he gave to the FBI chronicle the warrantless collection of phone conversations, bank records, financial data, credit reports, emails, Internet traffic, personal data and the unmasking of identities in spy data about millions of Americans.

This is consistent with public statements made by James Comey at the Boston Conference on Cyber Security at Boston College on March 8, 2017 that, “the 4th Amendment was a compromise for American sovereignty and that we the people have no right to privacy; and that even of thoughts belong to the government.”..

Another rabbit hole, glad I am a caver.😋

JUST IN: DOJ Asks Federal Court to Unseal Grand Jury Transcripts Associated with Epstein Cases Gateway Pundit

On Brave these are the highlighted headlines when I searched Epstein on July 22:

An Accuser’s Story Suggests How Trump Might Appear in the Epstein Files — The New York Times

Jeffrey Epstein accuser urged FBI to investigate Trump decades ago – report — The Guardian World News

Epstein accuser claims she met Trump in disgraced financier’s office in ‘troubling encounter’ – report — The Independent World News

Artist Maria Farmer said she urged the FBI to look into people in the disgraced financier’s social circle, including the president…

Farmer and her younger sister Annie, who testified at Ghislaine Maxwell’s 2021 sex trafficking trial, have spoken publicly about their ordeal with Epstein before. But her account now sheds light on how the Epstein files could contain material that is “embarrassing or politically problematic” to the president, the Times  reports.

Farmer’s account is among “the clearest indications yet” of how Trump may appear in the Epstein files, the Times notes, though the White House disputed the alleged encounter…


Looks like the Trump Lawsuit against WSJ did not stop the Cabal from running with the newest Trump smear campaign. 🙄


I think this is what Trump was aiming for with his sting. Remember he has to have extraordinary reasons to unseal Grand Jury material.


Republicans and Democrats Call for More Information on Epstein Case — The New York Times

Johnson Says He Won’t Hold Vote Calling on Trump to Release Epstein Files This Summer — The New York Times

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

IFFF Alpha is correct and they used ILLEGAL surveillance on Trump to determine when he was alone (family does not count) to match him up with Epstein… If salacious footage of Trump with an underaged girl is dropped AND you can prove it was manufactured using that surveillance information, then you CERTAINLY have a very nice RICO case. Unsealing the Epstein Grand Jury info could be very useful in showing the original material showed there was no evidence against Trump.

FBI ‘Grand Conspiracy’ Case Goes Far Beyond Comey and Brennan

POTUS wants to know everything we are doing.” [OBAMA]

Keep that line in mind when anyone talks about the FBI investigating former Director James Comey, former CIA Director John Brennan, and beyond.

It’s what Lisa Page, former FBI lawyer, texted then-boyfriend FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok amid the 2016 campaign. We tend to dismiss Page as “Strzok’s girlfriend.” But she was far more than that. Comey’s deputy was Andrew McCabe. McCabe’s right hand was Page. What’s more, Page was the FBI’s White House liaison during the Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump investigations. And her message to Strzok, a top soldier in the war against Trump: “POTUS wants to know everything we are doing.”

That president, of course, was Barack Obama. And he wasn’t talking about their canoodling. When Fox News broke the story last week about a criminal investigation into Brennan and Comey, its sources used the word “conspiracy.”

Daily Signal

AND

DOJ Fires Maurene Comey, Prosecutor Involved in Epstein, Diddy Cases

Reese in the Sitrep video above says they had to have CAUSE to fire M. Comey. He also says she badly fumbled the Diddy case but that is not enough reason to fire her. Misshandling–later changing the Epstein information in her care on the other hand certainly would be cause.

Fbi is still corrupt. I call big gigantic pile of bs. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/07/wait-what-if-there-was-no-epstein-client/

Wait, What? If There Was No Epstein Client List Then Why Did NY Court Refuse The Gateway Pundit’s Legal Request for the List Based on an Anonymous ‘John Doe’ Who Was On the List?

On Sunday night the Department of Justice and FBI released a document that concluded that notorious child predator Jeffrey Epstein did not have a “client list” and that he was not murdered but committed suicide.

The FBI released a video that shows an empty hallway in what they insist proves Epstein committed suicide.

I was just writing about that:

BREAKING: New FBI Memo Concludes Jeffrey Epstein Did Not Have a “Client List ” – and Committed Suicide – with Video of Jail Cell
If Jeffrey Epstein Had No Client List Then Why Did AG Pam Bondi Tell Reporters the List “Is Sitting on My Desk Right Now to Review – That’s in the Process of Being Reviewed” (VIDEO)
Wait, What? If There Was No Epstein Client List Then Why Did NY Court Refuse The Gateway Pundit’s Legal Request for the List Based on an Anonymous ‘John Doe’ Who Was On the List?
I think orders have come down from *above* somewhere to put an end to the Epstein speculation. There must be very good reasons to do this. Trump is on a roll with domestic and foreign affairs. Maybe revealing more about Epstein would completely wreck the good that is being done and the trajectory that the country is on. Maybe it would end foreign relations in some quarters or even start a war.

This FIB and DOJ are doing good in other areas. On a different site, the names of Bondi, Patel, and Bongino can’t be mentioned without people denigrating all the law enforcement good they are doing and piling on with “What about Epstein?” We have a choice of whether to stay stuck in that mindset.

How important is it that we know more about Epstein, in the grand scheme of things? What good would come of it?

With Christoper Wray in charge, I wouldn’t doubt it if all the evidence seized on Epstein’s island never made it back to shore. They had plenty of time to destroy everything and probably did.

No way those snakes would just hand over the truth or any evidence to Trump’s team.

 Friday, Wired Magazine ran an explosive story under a very carefully worded headline, “Metadata Shows the FBI’s ‘Raw’ Jeffrey Epstein Prison Video Was Likely Modified.It was a rookie mistake. The sub-headline cautiously clarified, “There is no evidence the footage was deceptively manipulated, but ambiguities around how the video was processed may further fuel conspiracy theories about Epstein’s death.”

Gen. Mike Flynn Urges Trump to Confront Epstein Cover-Up — Warns Nation Cannot Heal Until Elites Are Held Accountable for Child Abuse

And Glenn Beck:

My team has filed a FOIA for all of 

@danbongino’s texts and emails regarding Epstein to Pam Bondi. My guess is that those exchanges will tell us everything we need to know.

Yesterday I learned about Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly. Now it’s Glenn Beck and Michael Flynn. They are all acting directly in contrast to what Pres. Trump has said, which tells me they don’t trust him to a) be just as vigilant as they are about prosecuting pedophiles, and b) know what’s in the best interest of the country. They are actively undermining him and can no longer be trusted, IMO.

Jeff Childers Jul 09, 2025

Trump’s otherwise terrific sixth all-hands Cabinet meeting yesterday was eclipsed by the shadow of a dead pervert. Mid-day, Michelle texted me the short clip, saying only, “I don’t like this.” She meant she didn’t like how President Trump handled the Epstein question. I’ll give you my lawyer’s take.

First of all, it is already a dramatic improvement that a reporter was freely allowed to ask the unscripted question at all; under Biden, there wouldn’t have been any questions. I give Trump partial credit for jumping in and commenting.

Though the reporter’s delivery was awkwardly circuitous, he clearly asked Pam Bondi two critical questions: (1) Was Jeffrey Epstein an asset of any U.S. intelligence agency? (2) Why is a minute missing from the prison video outside Epstein’s cell? Neither question suggested any wrongdoing, cast blame, or even expressed skepticism.

Trump, with a quick apology to Bondi, immediately interrupted. Here’s his full answer, delivered with the kind of incredulous exasperation of a mom answering a curious child’s 100th repetitive question about how the Sun works right before saying, “from now on, ask your father”:

Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein? This guy has been talked about for years. You are asking … we have taxes, this, and all of the things, and are people still talking about this guy? This creep? That is unbelievable. (To Bondi:) Do you want to waste the time? You feel like answering? (To reporter:) I cannot believe you are asking a question on Epstein on a time like this when we are having some of the greatest success, and also tragedy, with what happened in Texas. It just seems like a desecration. (To Bondi:) You go ahead.”

Trump’s unexpectedly aggressive response rubbed Michelle the wrong way. And if you watch the clip, you’ll see what she meant when she said she didn’t like it. Trump comes off as uncharacteristically defensive; his delivery wildly overshot the mark. By labeling the two most often-asked questions on conservative social media “a desecration” unfairly implied that the questions themselves were transgressive— but desecration of what? Epstein’s sacred memory? It was a misstep.

Trump’s answer sounded too much like Hillary’s infamous response to the Benghazi disaster. At this point, what does it matter? Let’s move on.

🔥 My take is simpler. Trump wasn’t deflecting; he was protecting Pam Bondi, buying her a little time, and giving her an out. In other words, he made it possible for her to say, “I don’t want to waste time on that question.” His aggressive defense suggests that none of this was Pam’s idea. To Pam’s credit, she insisted on answering….

The rest is HERE.

REVEALED: WSJ ‘Reporter’ Who Wrote Epstein Hit Piece on President Trump Has a Connection to Founder of Fusion GPS, Which Was Funded by Hillary and the DNC to Produce the Russia Hoax Cullen Linebarger Jul. 18, 2025 10:30 am 464 Comments

The Wall Street Journal reporter who broke the “blockbuster” story alleging a letter Trump wrote to Epstein for his 50th birthday included some tawdry elements previously worked for Main Justice (his only prior reporting experience listed in his bio).

Main Justice was Glenn Simpson’s wife’s publication. Simpson founded Fusion GPS, which was paid by Hillary Clinton/the DNC (through Perkins Coie) to produce the Steele Dossier at the center of the Russian hoax against Trump.

Both Glenn Simpson and his wife, Mary Jacoby, worked for the Wall Street Journal before launching their own enterprises.

Trump Embraces Special Prosecutor For Weaponization Probe and Epstein, Vows New Declassifications

President Donald Trump on Wednesday embraced the FBI’s decision to open a conspiracy probe into a decade of alleged intelligence abuses and weaponized law enforcement, suggesting it could be led by a special prosecutor and even delve into “credible evidence” in the Jeffrey Epstein case in order to give Americans a greater dose of transparency and accountability. He also vowed to declassify two highly sensitive pieces of intelligence to help further the prosecutor’s efforts. […]

It was a disgrace what happened, what happened in 2016 and what happened in 2020. It’s a disgraceful situation,” he said. “And our voting has to be straightened out. I always say if you don’t have borders, if you don’t have fair and free voting, you don’t have a country.”

Unprompted, Trump then volunteered on his own that a special prosecutor – if one is appointed by Justice – to look at weaponization could also delve into “anything credible” on Jeffrey Epstein and his files to make sure Americans have a full accounting. – Just the News

Trump Will Sue the WSJ, Directs Bondi to Unseal Epstein Material

President Donald Trump said Thursday he would sue the Wall Street Journal and its owner over a new bombshell report [NEW??? You have to be kidding me! You mean newly manufactured. –GC] about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to begin the process of unsealing grand jury testimony in the disgraced financier’s criminal case.

Based on the ridiculous amount of publicity given to Jeffrey Epstein, I have asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to produce any and all pertinent Grand Jury testimony, subject to Court approval,” Trump said on social media, though it’s unclear that a judge would approve the request. “This SCAM, perpetuated by the Democrats, should end, right now!”…

Jeff Childers, since I wrote this has a new article that will make you smile.

☕️ MARS ATTACKS ☙ Monday, July 21, 2025 ☙ C&C NEWS 🦠

…Yesterday, I covered the narrative-crushing New York Times interview with Epstein investigative reporter Julie K. Brown, which pushed the stuffing back in most of the Epstein conspiracy theories and ended observing Epstein could not have done his crimes without help (it also basically exonerated Trump). This morning the Times ran another bizarre story, at the top of the website, headlined, “What to Know About the Epstein Files, a Perfect Recipe for Conspiracy Theories.” The article begins, unsurprisingly enough, by highlighting the “loud, public crack in the president’s support system” that has —according to the Times— widened into “a chasm.” A narrative chasm that threatens to cause the Times’ liberal readers to expire from unrestrained joy. At first, the story seemed to be the traditional Democrat take, but then things started to get … weird.

First, tell me what you think of how the Times described Epstein’s death in prison:

image 2.png

The authorities say he hanged himself. Was the Times injecting a hint of skepticism about the official story?

The article picked itself up and continued merrily along with the usual corporate media take, invoking QAnon, Pizzagate, the X-Files, and other cue phrases designed to make self-anointed intellectual progressives titter like stoned hyenas. But then came another sly dash of cold water:

image 3.png

FBI files contain strange rumors and absurd speculation? Am I imagining things, or did the Times just throw cold water on demands for the “full file?” And right when liberals are demanding full transparency and Congressional Democrats are injecting “full file release” amendments into dam-repair bills?

Regular readers will recall our speculation last week that the FBI files are packed with poison pills deliberately making the “full file” useless and politically explosive at the same time. Now the Times seems to be tracking the same direction, pre-bunking the unreleased material

This man, making Christmas calls from the White House, believes the world is a sphere. And he has even flown around it! So has our beautiful FLOTUS, who happens to be his wife!

Truth and common sense must be valued by us, as individuals, in order to lastingly disempower the authoritarian fake news media. This includes the perniciously smarmy science media, which never answers for its errors and lies. I believe that the media has been responsible not only for leftist pathologies like scientism, medical fascism, and radical gender ideology, but also for reactionary movements like modern flat Earth, rejection of all medicine, and Biblical geological literalism.


Just as Wheatie’s Stormwatch Monday Open Thread was created as a place for people to openly express their thoughts and opinions, so, too, is this Thank God Thursday Open Thread, where honest but civil discussion of all topics is encouraged. This thread is also to be known as Theistic Evolution Thursdays, due to the author’s expected “pontification” about his scientific, religious, and political opinions. You are welcome to pontificate back! Free speech matters!

Please label all AI-generated content as being such, unless it is patently obvious (e.g., humorous AI images). It is important that we as individuals not begin to pretend that socially derived artificial intelligence is actually our own, as this form of stealthy social information averaging and feedback would be one more pretense and deception between people, in service of stupid Marxist socialism, and of those who wish to substitute their communally protected lies for actual truth.

The source of alleged truth matters, not for the truth itself, but for validation.

And yes, it’s THURSDAY…again.

Grab your popcorn, my fellow “anti-intellectuals”!

A special treat for us “science deplorables” who are arriving as barbarians at the gate, questioning the leftist sacrament of peer review!

Watching scientific peer review being demoted from censorious gatekeepers, back to “free speech” standards for both authors and critics, is truly enjoyable here.

(Just watch from 11:00 to around 20:00 if you want the part about peer review. If you want the full brutal fight in evolution, that is 2 1/2 hours long, beginning to end!)

But wait! There’s more! Evolution is having a food fight!

Likewise, many of us hillbillies who have always thought “hey, that prehistoric ape can’t be fully human” will enjoy watching this fight within evolution, in which a bunch of us evolutionists cry out either “hey, that dubious ape-like member of genus Homo likely didn’t practice burial and art” or “hey, let this guy prove his case” or even “hey, I need more popcorn!”

Seriously, I’m not sure which side I’m on with these papers – probably all three! But notice how evolutionists are now free to have a public dispute over edgy (and possibly wrong) science. “Decorum” is no longer the top priority, and “unity in the face of critics” is no longer the “stop vaccine hesitancy at all costs” of paleoanthropology.

I’m impressed. Trump is fixing things even more than I thought! And I’m giving Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. some credit, too!

Ah, yes. The clutching of pearls by all involved in academia is most satisfying!


In other news….. there is a LOT of WINNING.

Have a wonderful 4th of July, people! Patriots ARE in control, and this is exactly what we prayed for – AND voted for!

Yes, our prayers were answered, and I ask all of you this 4th of July to be thankful for what has transpired.

If you are a believer like me, I ask that you earnestly give thanks to God for our deliverance from leftist insanity.

We are undeserving, we must try to be more deserving. Reach out with the Good News – let people know why you are thankful! Let this Fourth also be another Thanksgiving – for the blessings we have received – and for the patriots who helped this winning happen!

God bless you all!

God bless President Trump!

God bless the Patriots!

God bless America!
