I have a high level of respect and trust for Alan Dershowitz. Here’s his take on Epstein…

The Inside Scoop on Jeffrey Epstein

“…Epstein never created a “client list.” The FBI interviewed alleged victims who named several “clients.” These names have been redacted. They should be disclosed but the courts have ordered them sealed. I know who they are. They don’t include any current officeholders. We don’t know whether the accusations are true. The courts have also sealed negative information about some of the accusers to protect them. Neither the Justice Department nor private defense lawyers are free to disregard court sealing orders. The media can and should petition the courts for the release of all names and information so the public can draw its own conclusions.

There has also been speculation about incriminating videos taken by hidden cameras in Epstein’s guest bedrooms. There are videotapes, but they are of public areas of his Palm Beach, Fla., home. Epstein reported the theft of money and a licensed firearm from a drawer in his living room, so the police installed a video camera. I am not aware of video cameras in guest bedrooms.

Open records show an acquaintance between Epstein and Mr. Trump many years ago. That relationship ended when Mr. Trump reportedly banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago, long before becoming president. I have seen nothing that would suggest anything improper or even questionable by Mr. Trump.

It is clear from the evidence that Epstein committed suicide. What isn’t clear is whether he was assisted by jail personnel. That seems likely to me, based on the evidence of allegedly broken cameras, transfer of his cellmate and the absence of guards during relevant time periods.

I have absolutely no doubt that Epstein never worked for any intelligence agency. If he had, he would surely have told me and his other lawyers, who would have used that information to get him a better deal. (He wasn’t satisfied with the so-called sweetheart deal he got, which required him to spend 1½ years in a local jail and register as a sex offender.) My sources in Israel have confirmed to me that he had no connection to Israeli intelligence. That false story—recently peddled by Tucker Carlson—probably emanated from credible allegations that Robert Maxwell (1923-91), father of Epstein’s former girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, worked with the Mossad.

Conspiracy stories attract readers, viewers and listeners. They are also fodder for political attacks. The Epstein case has generated more than its share of such theories, and there is nothing more annoying to gossip mongers than when stubborn facts (or the absence of facts) get in the way of a juicy theory. Sorry to disappoint you, but there is really nothing much to see here, beyond what has already been disclosed…”

Trump vows ‘billions of dollars’ in weapons for Ukraine, 100% ‘secondary tariffs’ on Russia if no peace in 50 days.

“…The weapons will include “everything,” Trump said during his meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in the Oval Office — though the president did not immediately reveal specifics.

The White House also did not provide additional information on the specific weapons sent over to Europe.

When asked whether “Patriot missiles” — officially known as Guided Mulitple Launch Rocket Systems — or “Patriot batteries” would be sent to Ukraine, the president responded: “It is all of them. It is a full complement.”

“We will have some within days,” Trump continued. “A couple of countries that have Patriots will swap over, or replace the Patriots with the ones they have.”

Secondary sanctions are meant to punish individuals or entities who do business with a country. Should they take effect on Sept. 2, 50 days from Monday, they are meant to put more pressure on Moscow — which has already been hit with direct sanctions — by deterring further business and isolating Russia’s economy…”

New horizons in Democrat insanity – CALIFORNIA’S SLAVERY REPARATIONS PROGRAM…

Gail Heriot

“…California was never a slave state. Nevertheless, numerous “reparations” bills have passed the Assembly to benefit the descendants of American slaves. For example, AB7 would (if it passes the Senate and is signed into law by the governor) authorize California universities to discriminate in admissions in favor of the descendants of slaves. Similarly, AB57 would earmark 10% of the funds available under California’s first-time homebuyers program for the descendants of slaves. As passed by the Assembly, AB742 would “prioritize” applicants seeking “licensure” who are descendants of slaves. The Senate version is currently worded somewhat differently, but it’s still the same idea.

More such bills have passed the Assembly and seem destined to pass the Senate.

Apparently, California Democrats think this gets them around those pesky laws that forbid race discrimination. They are wrong. Imagine if, back in the 1950s, segregated school districts had switched from segregating the schools based on race to segregating them based on descent from slavery. It wouldn’t have made a difference. They’d have been laughed for their efforts.

Obviously lawsuits will be filed if these bills pass. More interestingly, the Department of Justice could go after the State of California for a violation of Title VI. Thanks in part to the Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987, the federal government could potentially cut off the state from billions of dollars in federal funding.

This stuff deserves to get more publicity than it’s getting. If Gavin Newsom signs any of them, and then runs for President (or even if he doesn’t), you can bet they will be a standard talking point for Republicans. Personally, I rather stop them now. But some in the Republican Party have a different opinion…”

America’s ‘Useful Idiots’

“…Yazzie is an example of how most faculties in this country now run from the left to the far left. Applicants who espouse center-right viewpoints are often rejected as lacking “intellectual rigor” or depth. However, you cannot be too far left to secure a position in many departments that do not have a single Republican or conservative.

Take University of Chicago Assistant Professor Eman Abdelhadi, who used her recent appearance at the Socialism 2025 conference to denounce the University of Chicago as an “evil” and “colonialist” institution. Nevertheless, she insisted that she wanted to remain at the evil institution — not for its intellectual community, but to “organize” and “leverage” to build a socialist coalition.

Keep in mind that the faculty not only decided that Abdelhadi was worthy of a faculty position in the university’s Department of Comparative Human Development, but then also made her the Director of Graduate Studies…”
