Context

To be clear to set the record straight on my support for the Massie Epstein discharge petition.

I stand with girls and women who are sexually abused and raped.

Period. Every time. At all times.

For me, it’s not about a pissing contest between political parties or political enemies.

The Epstein rape and pedophile network must be exposed.

The women and their attorney have said over and over that Donald Trump did nothing wrong and he was the only one that helped the women. That is factually true.

Also, the Democrats who had power for the past four years never did a single thing or showed they even cared about these women who were victims of Jeffrey Epstein. They could have exposed the entire thing while they had power but never lifted a finger to do so.

If anyone is implicated, then they have the right to clear their name.

Just as millions of Americans have had to do when falsely accused of a crime.

I’ve had to do that many times and even had to defend myself against lies and pay massive attorney bills to do it.

For example, I was wrongly accused of insurrection and actually had to sit on a witness stand, in a Georgia court of law, and defend myself and clear my name.

Release all the Epstein information by any means possible.

And return the focus to helping Americans.

I hear daily about how Americans can’t afford to pay their health insurance monthly premium, can’t afford rent, can’t afford to buy a home, can’t afford to pay for care for their aging parents, and can’t afford life in general.

The obsession over the Epstein files and fighting about it should not be happening and needs to end.

But it’s only an issue in the news because it has become a political fight and it should not be one.

My name is staying on the discharge petition and I will dive into the Oversight committee investigation just as I do with every investigation.

And to be clear once again, I stand with the women, and the women who were raped at 14.

A federal judge has ordered prosecutors to respond to a letter from Luigi Mangione’s legal team alleging that Trump administration officials’ recent social media posts about the case appear to have violated his right to a fair trial.

“It appears … that multiple employees at the Department of Justice may have violated Local Criminal Rule 23.1, and this Court’s order of April 25, 2025 specifically identifying the strictures of this rule,” U.S. District Judge Margaret M. Garnett wrote in her order on September 24 in response to the letter.

The rule stipulates that “non-lawyer personnel employed by a lawyer’s office or subject to a lawyer’s supervision” in a criminal case have a duty not to release an “opinion that a reasonable person would expect to be disseminated by means of public communication” if there is a chance that the opinion will “interfere with a fair trial or otherwise prejudice the due administration of justice.”

The DHS chief has been widely criticized for slowing down FEMA’s response after natural disasters. Texts and emails obtained by ProPublica point to an effective way to get help faster: have one of Noem’s big donors make the ask.

Like many stories, this one is about children and monsters. Only here, the monsters win in every chapter.

I can’t believe ABC Fake News gave Jimmy Kimmel his job back. The White House was told by ABC that his Show was cancelled! Something happened between then and now because his audience is GONE, and his “talent” was never there. Why would they want someone back who does so poorly, who’s not funny, and who puts the Network in jeopardy by playing 99% positive Democrat GARBAGE. He is yet another arm of the DNC and, to the best of my knowledge, that would be a major Illegal Campaign Contribution. I think we’re going to test ABC out on this. Let’s see how we do. Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars. This one sounds even more lucrative. A true bunch of losers! Let Jimmy Kimmel rot in his bad Ratings.

The founders’ true intent behind the right to bear arms wasn’t liberty—it was control, oppression, and the preservation of slavery.

Petition.

In a blatant attack on free speech and a continuation of this administration’s descent into authoritarian control and censorship, ABC and Disney have caved to pressure from the Trump administration and MAGA Republicans to suspend late-night host Jimmy Kimmel.

Kimmel was pulled for pointing out how the Trump administration and Republicans exploited Charlie Kirk’s murder—and the hypocrisy between their statements and actions.

Kimmel wasn’t axed for his remarks on Kirk—he was suspended for using his platform to expose and critique our government. Enough! We especially need large corporations, with the money and influence they have, to fight back.

The FCC may give Disney its license, but it’s everyday people who make Disney relevant. If they want the trust of their customers, they have to reverse this terrible decision, reinstate Kimmel, and demonstrate that they will fight back against censorship NOW!

Criticism — and concern about free speech — is pouring in after ABC abruptly suspended Jimmy Kimmel Live! under pressure from the Trump administration.

ABC announced Wednesday that it would take Kimmel's show off the air indefinitely, after threats from Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Brendan Carr to the stations that carry it. Speaking on a podcast hosted by a conservative commentator, Carr took issue with comments Kimmel had made in Monday's onscreen monologue about Republicans' reaction to Charlie Kirk's killing, which the late-night host had previously condemned.

When asked about Kimmel's suspension at a press conference Thursday morning, President Trump said Kimmel was "fired because he had bad ratings more than anything else, and he said a horrible thing about a great gentleman known as Charlie Kirk."

"You can call that free speech or not, he was fired for lack of talent," Trump said.

Civil rights groups, labor unions, Democratic politicians and Hollywood A-listers have condemned the move as an attack on the First Amendment, not only for Kimmel and his writers but for Americans as a whole.

Immigration agents shot and killed an unarmed 38-year-old father outside Chicago on Friday—and their initial narrative of events was quickly disproven by videos captured by witnesses.
