The Epstein Files: When Power Protects Itself
Biden promised transparency. Trump said he'd release the files. Now they both act like it never happened.
The Epstein client list is the line — and they won't cross it.
Jeffrey Epstein wasn’t just some rich weirdo with a private island. He was the human Rolodex of power — a guy who somehow went from high school math teacher to managing billions… and nobody really knows how. That alone should tell you something.
But what we do know is this:
- He was a convicted sex offender.
- He trafficked underage girls.
- And he had high-profile friends who either looked the other way or were very hands-on.
We’re talking:
- Prince Andrew (settled a case)
- Bill Clinton (dozens of flights on the “Lolita Express”)
- Donald Trump (partied with him, later claimed distance)
- Bill Gates (met with Epstein multiple times after his conviction — smooth move, Bill)
- And a long list of CEOs, royals, actors, foreign leaders — you name it.
And then there’s Ghislaine Maxwell — the right-hand woman who helped arrange the horror show. She’s doing 20 years for trafficking girls…
But apparently to no one, because no one else is in jail.
Yeah, wrap your head around that one.
BIDEN’S PROMISE… AND SUDDEN AMNESIA
Before getting elected, Joe Biden gave us the usual song and dance — truth, justice, "no one above the law," blah blah blah.
People expected the Epstein list to finally come out under his watch.
Instead, Attorney General Merrick Garland got up and basically said:
“We’ve done all we can. There’s nothing more to find.”
Oh really? Nothing?
You find dirt on school board moms, but Epstein’s elite client list is just too tough? C’mon, man.
REPUBLICANS TURN UP THE HEAT
Even Biden’s political enemies — and some of his own — are demanding answers:
> “We should put everything out there and let the people decide it.” — Speaker Mike Johnson
> “We need justice and public access to the details.” — Sen. John Thune > “This is why people don’t trust government.” — Nikki Haley
Rep. Thomas Massie (R‑KY) tried to force a congressional vote to make the files public. Rep. Marc Veasey (D‑TX) introduced a resolution demanding full disclosure.
He said, “I’m very concerned about the way they handled this case.”
Even Elon Musk jumped in like a Twitter Batman:
> “Where’s the client list?”
> “If this was really a hoax, then why are they so scared to show us?”
He later mocked both Trump and Biden, saying:
> “Funny how brave people are when they’re not in power.”He’s not wrong.
THEN TRUMP ENTERS… AND TRIPS OVER HIMSELF
Let’s rewind: Donald Trump, back when he was out of office and full of fire, promised to expose the whole thing.
He had Pam Bondi, his surrogate, tell the world:
> “The Epstein list is on my desk. We’re gonna get to the bottom of it.”Fast-forward to today, Trump’s back in office, and what’s he saying?
> “This Epstein stuff is a scam. A hoax. Waste of time. People need to move on.”Wait, what?!
From the same guy who said, “We're gonna find out everything” to now, “Eh, who cares”?
You sounded like Columbo before — now you're shrugging like it’s a lost sock?
Trump even mocked his own party for demanding transparency, calling them “stupid,” “crazy,” and “distracted.”So now caring about a global pedophile ring makes you stupid? Hello! Give me a break.
You can’t scream about Hunter’s laptop one day, then bury Epstein’s client list the next like it’s minimal.
THIS IS THE BIG TELL
Both Biden and Trump — when they were trying to win votes — acted like they’d burn down the palace to get the truth.
But once they got inside?They locked the doors and pulled the curtains.
They don't want the names out because the list doesn’t just burn one party — it nukes both. It’s Wall Street. Hollywood. Tech. Foreign diplomacy. Global finance.
These aren’t just names — they’re levers of the entire power structure. And you think they’re going to hand that over willingly?
Pfft. Only if we make them.
FINAL WORD: EITHER RELEASE THE LIST OR ADMIT YOU WORK FOR IT
Look — we don’t care what party you’re from.
If you made promises to the public to release that list, and now you’re backpedaling or making excuses? You’re protecting monsters. Period.
This ain’t about left vs right.
It’s about the people vs the protected.
And until that list comes out — we know exactly what team you’re on. So, to every politician playing dumb right now:
Spare us the speeches. Show us the names.

America, the Beautiful—And Still the Greatest
As fireworks light up the skies this Fourth of July, I want to take a minute—not just to celebrate—but to remind people, especially the younger generation, why this country is still worth standing up for. We live in a time where a lot of people are quick to criticize the United States. And sure, we’ve had our struggles. No nation is perfect. But let’s take a step back and look at the big picture. Because if you really understand history, then you know that America changed the world.
We started as a ragtag group of colonies standing up to the most powerful empire on Earth. And we won. We declared our independence and, in doing so, lit a fire for freedom that would inspire revolutions around the globe. Fast forward: We fought a Civil War to end slavery and preserve the Union. We stormed the beaches of Normandy to stop Nazi tyranny. We stood up to communism, rebuilt Europe with the Marshall Plan, and turned enemies into allies with our generosity.
This country has fed the hungry, rebuilt war-torn nations, and invented the very technologies that make modern life possible. Planes, vaccines, the internet, space travel, civil rights movements—all born or pushed forward by Americans. We didn’t just survive—we thrived. Through free speech, free markets, and the grit of our people. That’s what democracy and capitalism offer. The freedom to create, to fail, to get back up, and to build a better life.
And yes, we've had our battles on the home front too—civil rights, women’s rights, workers' rights. But the difference? In America, change can happen. We don’t silence dissent—we protect it. We argue, we protest, we grow. Try doing that in places like China or Saudi Arabia. Try burning your own flag or criticizing the government publicly. You won’t get a protest—you’ll get prison. So when I see young people idolizing socialism or tearing down everything this country stands for, I say this with respect but with truth: You don’t know what you’re talking about.
Socialism doesn’t create wealth. It doesn’t create freedom. It promises equality and delivers poverty. Look around the world—Venezuela, North Korea, Cuba—then look here .America has always been the land of opportunity. Not because it hands you anything, but because it lets you go after everything. You have the right to dream here. The right to speak. The right to become more than where you started.
This Fourth of July, take a moment to be proud.
Be thankful—for the freedoms we enjoy and for those who’ve fought, bled, and stood for people who couldn’t stand for themselves. To our military past and present—thank you. You are the backbone of our liberty.
Happy Independence Day
John F. Lorne
Let me be straight with you—out of all the problems facing our country, this is the one that keeps me up at night. Not inflation, not the economy, not even crime. It’s the quiet but aggressive spread of radical Islamist ideology into the heart of Western nations, under the guise of immigration, diversity, and political correctness. And the more we ignore it, the worse it's going to get.
Now before some talking head tries to twist my words—this isn’t about Muslims as a whole. This is about a specific mindset, a radical belief system that rejects everything Western civilization stands for. Freedom. Equality. Rule of law. Democracy. Women's rights. It doesn’t just disagree with us—it wants to replace us.
And here’s the real kicker: we keep letting it in. Open arms. Open borders. No expectations. No demands to assimilate. Just the naive hope that somehow, some way, this will all just blend together. That these wildly different ideologies can coexist peacefully in the same space.
But we’re lying to ourselves.
Let’s step back and look at the bigger picture—because this isn’t just about crime or unemployment. It’s about the long game. Some of these extremist elements aren’t here to assimilate—they're here to outpopulate, infiltrate, and slowly replace. How? By taking full advantage of Western openness while undermining it from within:
- Higher birth rates leading to demographic shifts
- Running for public office to reshape laws
- Quietly influencing school curriculums
- Silencing churches while building more mosques
- Using violence and intimidation to suppress criticism
This isn’t fearmongering. It’s already happening. Look at Sweden. Look at France. Look at the UK. Neighborhoods transformed. Churches closing. Teachers beheaded. Political leaders pandering for votes while sidestepping questions about Sharia law.
And let’s ask the fundamental question that no one in power seems willing to answer:
What is the benefit of bringing people into your country who don’t like its citizens, don’t respect its laws, don’t want to assimilate, and yet live off its resources?
What’s the gain in importing people who not only fail to contribute to the tax base or civic fabric—but in too many cases, bring with them contempt for the very society that welcomed them? This isn’t immigration. It’s slow-motion sabotage.
And again, this isn’t about all Muslims—but even the most open-minded among us have to admit: there’s a growing contingent within the Muslim population that holds deeply anti-Western ideology. The disturbing part is that while many Muslims are peaceful and law-abiding, the broader faith community rarely, if ever, condemns the extremists with the same fire they use to defend their religious practices.
They’ll rally around their right to wear religious clothing or build mosques, but where is that same passion when it comes to disavowing terrorism, grooming gangs, honor killings, and violence done in their name?
And let me be even more direct here—immigration from Latin America, gangs and all, is a walk in the park compared to dealing with Islamic extremism. Yes, we have issues at the southern border. Yes, there’s crime. But the people coming from the south, for the most part, are trying to work, trying to survive, and many still share a belief in family, faith, and hard work—even if illegally.
But what we’re facing from radical Islam isn’t just criminal—it’s ideological warfare. It's people coming in not to join Western society, but to undermine it from within.
You want proof? Just look around. Look at the head coverings forced on women in some of these communities. You think that aligns with Western values of gender equality? Look at the acid attacks in London, the grooming gangs in the UK, the no-go zones in France and Sweden where police won’t enter. Look at the Sharia courts being set up in neighborhoods where the U.S. Constitution or British common law might as well not exist.
You can’t tell me this is working.
And what do we hear from moderate Muslims in the West? Not enough. Where are the loud voices denouncing the extremists? Where are the marches, the rallies, the global condemnations of terrorism and oppression from within their own faith community? I’m not hearing them. Are you?
This isn’t a small problem. It’s a threat to national identity.
And if you dare to speak on it, you’re labeled a bigot, a racist, an Islamophobe. Well, let me say this loud: I don’t care what label they try to stick on me. I care about protecting my country, my culture, and my family’s future.
You can come here from anywhere in the world, but you better be ready to live by the values that built this country. Don’t want to assimilate? Then don’t come. Want to wear a headset because your religion says women should be hidden and silent? That’s your right—somewhere else.
And let’s be clear: if these Western governments don’t get serious about screening immigrants not just for background checks but for ideology, we’re going to lose everything that made our countries worth coming to in the first place.
Politicians who promote or tolerate this kind of reckless immigration policy—they should be voted out, and frankly, held legally accountable when their policies result in violence, rape, acid attacks, or terrorist acts. Because at that point, it’s not just poor policy—it’s complicity.
And here's the part no one talks about: the infrastructure toll this takes on our countries. Our police departments are overwhelmed. Courts are backlogged. Social workers are buried. Neighborhoods are terrified. Local officers are pulling double shifts just to keep up with the chaos.
This isn’t just cultural—it’s practical. It’s economic. It’s breaking our systems down from the inside out. From public schools trying to manage non-assimilating populations to emergency rooms treating trauma from gang violence and domestic abuse rooted in imported extremism—it’s unsustainable.
If we keep bending over backwards to accommodate ideologies that despise us, we’ll wake up in a nation we no longer recognize. And by then, it’ll be too late to do anything about it.
It’s time to stand up for the West.
