There’s been a lot going on in the news. Donald Trump‘s new best friends of the ruling al-Thani family of Qatar got protection from Israel, or rather Hamas leaders in Qatar got protection. There’s been a number of shootings. Not the least of which was the killing of Charlie Kirk, whom the Maga types hope to elevate to martyrdom. Pete Hegseth made an ass of himself in front of his generals. The government is shutting down over threats to take away affordable health care. ICE, with backing from the National Guard, is rounding up people and sending them off to strange places.

It would be a shame to forget about Jeffrey Epstein and the FILES!!! All the going’s on can sure be distracting. Recently we were informed that Peter Thiel, Steve Bannon and Elon Musk’s names were mentioned in these files. According to Pam Bondi’s statement, since retracted, there’s 147 more important people in these documents.

It’s too bad there are no noble whistleblowers willing to unilaterally release the documents. Heroes like that are hard to come by these days. A new congresswoman, Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ), should throw enough votes to force a vote on the Epstein Files release. House Republicans refused to swear her in until a regular session begins; delaying a vote again (The Hill)

In the midterm elections I hope people take note of those in the House who vote against or vote to delay the release of the Epstein Files. Vote the bums out.
