The article analyzes the content of a birthday book compiled for Jeffrey Epstein, revealing a disturbing shorthand understanding of the man among his friends. The entries repeatedly highlight Epstein’s wealth and his sexual interest in young girls, with illustrations and anecdotes explicitly referencing these themes. The book includes accounts of Epstein’s predatory behavior, with friends and associates seemingly celebrating or at least condoning his actions, including Donald Trump. Ultimately, the book demonstrates a widespread awareness and acceptance of Epstein’s sociopathy within his circle, making the claims of ignorance or naiveté untenable.

A Michigan judge has dismissed charges against the state’s fake electors who falsely claimed Donald Trump won the 2020 election, citing a lack of evidence proving the group knowingly intended to break the law. The ruling ends the criminal prosecutions against the group, which included prominent GOP officials and Trump supporters. This decision is a setback to accountability efforts, especially since similar cases are still pending in other states like Nevada, Arizona, and Wisconsin. The Attorney General of Michigan, who brought the case, disagreed with the ruling and is evaluating the next steps, as defense lawyers celebrated it as a victory.

The president views Qatar as a strong ally and wants the war to end, along with the release of hostages and the deceased. Qatar has already suspended mediation efforts, and the attack threatens to prolong the conflict and the detention of Israeli hostages.

During a speech at the Museum of the Bible, President Trump asserted that crime in Washington, D.C. was nearly eradicated due to the presence of federal troops, claiming the city was now a “totally safe zone.” He expressed frustration with the inclusion of domestic disturbances in crime statistics, suggesting these inflated the numbers. However, Trump’s statements are dubious, as D.C. was not the most dangerous city before his intervention and he has faced numerous allegations of abuse and has been convicted of crimes himself. Furthermore, a federal appeals court upheld an $83 million defamation judgment against him, adding to his legal issues.
