   Over the past few weeks, I wrote a few pieces pointing out the absurdity   
   of the media’s coverage of the Jeffrey Epstein travesty.   
      
   For the opening act, the major networks and papers were really interested.   
   Why? Because there was a member of Trump’s administration that worked on   
   Epstein’s sweetheart plea deal. That was all the hook the media needed to   
   make the story about Donald Trump.   
      
   But then something happened. Alex Acosta resigned and the hook was gone.   
   Suddenly, the media didn’t care anymore. The story died overnight because   
   there was no longer a vehicle to attack Trump, so who cares, right?   
      
   A little less than a week later, they had their hook again though. A   
   meaningless, irrelevant video emerged showing Donald Trump dancing   
   awkwardly at a party in 1992 and it suddenly put Epstein back on the front   
   page. You see, Trump had briefly conversed with Epstein at this party,   
   along with hundreds of other people. Scandalous right? It didn’t matter   
   that no relevant connections between Epstein and Trump actually existed.   
   Yes, they knew each other. Epstein also knew every other member of New   
   York high society. In fact, Trump would ban Epstein from his resort over a   
   decade later after he was made aware of predatory conduct. Not only that,   
   he went to the police and helped the victim. What a monster.   
      
   While the media were laser focused on whatever they could do to make   
   Epstein’s evil an Orange Man Bad story, the real news continued to be   
   ignored. Namely, that Bill Clinton had been on Epstein’s plane multiple   
   times, without secret service, and with underage girls on board. This got   
   a slight mention in a Vanity Fair piece, which inexplicably focused on   
   Donald Trump being told there were picture of Clinton on Epstein’s   
   pedophile island. You’d think the big news wouldn’t be Trump being told   
   that but that there were possibly pictures of Clinton on an island famous   
   for sex trafficking and child rape. But nah, Vanity Fair didn’t even push   
   the issue. They published Clinton’s denial and went back to riffing   
   irrelevancy about Trump.   
      
   Perhaps the tide is turning though. Today, we’ve finally got a major media   
   outlet doing some investigative work on the connections between Epstein   
   and Clinton.   
      
   If you’ll recall, the former President put out this statement a few weeks   
   back.

   Now, we already know Clinton is lying about the flights, as the logs do   
   not match up with what he says and that there were at least seven flights   
   taken without his staff and secret service. That seems like a pretty big   
   deal, but the media (outside of a few conservative outlets) hasn’t touched   
   it for obvious reasons.   
      
   Further though, Clinton’s statement gives the impression that he barely   
   knew Epstein and that their relationship was limited. He lists his only   
   other encounter as being a brief meeting in 2002.   
      
   Surprise, surprise, according to The Daily Beast, Clinton lied again.   
      
   How Epstein entered Clinton’s orbit remains unclear. When the president   
   released his initial statement on Epstein, he did not explain the multiple   
   other trips he appears to have taken on the financier’s plane—including   
   one flight to Westchester with Epstein, his alleged madam Ghislaine   
   Maxwell, and an “unnamed female.”   
      
   Clinton also failed to mention the intimate 1995 fundraising dinner at the   
   Palm Beach home of Revlon mogul Ron Perelman, where Clinton hobnobbed with   
   the likes of Epstein, Don Johnson, and Jimmy Buffett. (Nearby, at   
   Epstein’s own Palm Beach mansion, the money man allegedly abused hundreds   
   of underage girls.)   
      
   The two were clearly chummy by the early Clinton Foundation years, as   
   attested to by a 2002 photo of Epstein and Clinton in Brunei that appeared   
   in Vicky Ward’s 2003 profile of the financier. In a 2002 piece for New   
   York magazine about the Africa trip, Clinton praised Epstein as a “highly   
   successful financier and a committed philanthropist.”   
      
   Not only were Epstein and Clinton far more connected in 2002 than his   
   statement indicated, they were palling around in the 1990s as well.   
      
   Documents in the Clinton Library, however, attest to much earlier links   
   between Maxwell, Epstein, and the Clinton White House.   
      
   In late September of 1993, Bill and Hillary Clinton hosted a reception for   
   supporters who had contributed to recent White House renovations. The   
   nearly $400,000 overhaul—which included new gold draperies and a 13-color   
   woven rug for the Oval Office—was funded entirely by donations to the   
   White House Historical Association, a private organization that helps   
   preserve and promote the White House as a historical monument…   
      
   …Guests for the event, according to the invitation list, included the   
   journalist and philanthropist Barbara Goldsmith, heiress Jane Engelhard,   
   political consultant Cynthia Friedman, and “Mr Jeffrey Epstein and Ms.   
   Ghislaine Maxwell.” Epstein and Maxwell do not appear on the ‘regret   
   list,’ and there is a letter ‘A’ next to both of their names, indicating   
   they planned to attend. A press release from the event, put out by Hillary   
   Clinton’s office, lists Epstein as a White House Historical Association   
   donor.   
      
   Clinton’s relationship with Epstein was not just in passing. It wasn’t a   
   conversation at a party. It was extensive. The facts directly contradict   
   what Clinton told the media just a few weeks ago. Yet, not a single media   
   outlet has bothered to question him or his wife on the discrepancies.   
   Until this Daily Beast report, we hadn’t even got any investigative   
   reporting into it. Instead we got full throated parroting of his   
   narrative. As I’ve said before, it’s good to be a Democrat.   
      
   All of these earlier contacts would lead us to the 2010’s where Clinton   
   would be a guest at least 26 times on Epstein’s plane. As I noted earlier,   
   on those manifests were names of underage girls who would later be   
   revealed as victims of Epstein. Are we to believe Bill Clinton just didn’t   
   notice them? Further, Bill Clinton has a ton of money. Why would he need   
   Jeffrey Epstein to fly him around? Even more disturbing, one victim   
   actually pinpoints Clinton as being on Epstein’s island where some of the   
   worst abuse took place.   
      
   The Daily Beast has, to their credit, gathered some new evidence to show   
   that Clinton is being dishonest here. Will the media run with it and   
   demand answers or will they sweep this back under the rug? My money is on   
   the latter.   
      
      
   --   
   November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump.  We look   
   forward to America being great again.
