"So, wow. When we started talking about releasing the Epstein files, I'm like, this is a no-brainer. President Trump will just roll them out on a big cart himself. Stacks and stacks and stacks of the Epstein files. Because obviously Bill Clinton is all in there and Hillary Clinton. That's what I had been told all along, right?
"Well, it was the most shocking thing when I sat in a conference meeting, and I learned that the President didn't want to release the Epstein Files. I was like, what? Yeah.
"Come to find out, he was very much against it. So we kept on trying and kept on talking about it. And then the President told Mike Johnson, no, do not bring that resolution to the floor for a vote. He told the Rules Committee, and Johnson told the Rules Committee, no, you will not mark up any bill and in the Rules Committee that will allow the Epstein Files to be released.
"And the resistance built and built and built. He told Pam Bondi, don't release the Epstein Files. He told everybody, don't release the Epstein Files. So we persisted because that's what we promised. That's what we campaigned on. Transparency and accountability, especially to pedophiles. How is that complicated?
"So it got to be such a gigantic amount of resistance coming from the President and the speaker and everyone, the DOJ. I said, fine, I'll do the unthinkable. I'll go over there and I'll sign my name on a discharge petition that all the Democrats are signing their name on. Talk about crossing the aisle. Me, a general in the MAGA army, crossing over to sign my name with a bunch of Democrats. Yeah, I did. Because women were raped when they were 16 and 14 years old. And he was a convicted pedophile and we knew there were many with him.
"So I signed my name on the discharge petition. Oh, did I get my name on the naughty list then, let me tell you. That became a real issue at the White House. Well, I'll never forget it. I was in my office in the Rayburn Building and I got a phone call from the President and he was at the White House and he wanted to talk to me about the discharge petition that I'd signed my name on. And he said, Marjorie, you're going to have to take your name off that discharge petition. We can't let. This is a hoax. We can't carry this. This is a hoax. It's a Democrat hoax, and we've got to just put this away and stop doing this.
"And he said, my friends are going to get hurt. He said his friends would get hurt if we released the Epstein Files. He said, Marjorie, these are good people. These are people, you know at Mar-a-Lago, people in Palm Beach. They're going to get hurt by this.
"And I said, Mr. President, people have been hurt. These women have been hurt. I, said, have you talked to them? I said, you should talk to them. You should have them in the Oval Office. Mr. President, you have everybody in the Oval Office. You have sports teams, you have world leaders. You have Al Qaeda terrorists that are now leading Syria. You have Mamdani. I mean, you have everybody in the Oval Office. Surely you can have these women who were raped as teenagers. Talk to them. I talk to them all the time. As a matter of fact, many of them voted for you.
"That's what I told them. They voted for you. Epstein victims voted for Donald Trump and he wouldn't have anything to do with them. And he told me his friends would get hurt. And I said, not taking my name off the discharge petition.
"Because this crosses party lines. It crosses— As a matter of fact, it crosses all the lines when it comes down to victimizing some of the most innocent people in America. These were young girls that were teenagers that desperately wanted to be models one day. They wanted to be seen as beautiful. They wanted to be rich, they wanted to be famous. And, of course, every teenager wants things like that. And they were victimized by Ghislaine Maxwell and others.
"They were victimized by the richest, most powerful men, not only in our country, but in the world. And they were used by Jeffrey Epstein as sexual tools for his own satisfaction and his friends' satisfaction to actually be asked by the President of the United States to back off and not help these women. That's when MAGA died. That's when the entire thing shattered for me."
🚨 House Dems just Zoom-bombed Sec. Kristi Noem with a 15+ year old Army vet case to whine about "veterans facing deportation."
Sae Joon Park green card holder self-deported to South Korea after drug possession charges + failure to appear in court.
Noem: "No veterans have been deported."
Dems: "But what about this one criminal from 15 years ago?!"
This is their "gotcha." Enforcing the law = bad now.
America First means rules apply to everyone. 🇺🇸
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard attacked & seized ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Recent reports highlight direct attacks on shipping admit a wider conflict with Iranian officials threatening retaliation for US actions against Iranian commercial vessels‼️
BREAKING : Massive SHOCK for Trump given by Iran FM 🇮🇷 Abbas Araghchi 🔥
🇺🇸 Trump at 9:00 AM –– "Iran has unconditionally opened the Strait of Hormuz and they will also hand over enriched uranium to the US"
🇮🇷 Iran at 10:15 AM –– 🔥 "Stop lying, Iran's enriched uranium is as sacred to us as the soil of Iran and will not be transferred anywhere under any circumstance. Secondly, Hormuz is opened under conditions
If US doesn't stop the blockade then Iran will again close it as we did earlier. We are going to keep watch on ceasefire violation"
Not a single day passes without Trump getting caught lying 😭
BREAKING: Trump punishes Pope Leo for criticizing his Iran War by stripping $11 million from Catholic Charities in Florida that was supposed to help shelter and care for children who enter the country alone.
Trump is terrorizing kids in America while killing them overseas...
“The U.S. government has abruptly decided to end more than 60 years of relationship with Catholic Charities in the Archdiocese of Miami,” said Archbishop Thomas Wenski. “The Archdiocese of Miami’s services for unaccompanied minors have been recognized for their excellence and have served as a model for other agencies throughout the country.”
"Our track record in serving this vulnerable population is unmatched. Yet, the Archdiocese of Miami’s Catholic Charities’ services for unaccompanied minors has been stripped of funding and will be forced to shut down within three months," he added.
The Department of Homeland Security, through its Office of Refugee Resettlement, has paid Catholic Charities in Miami for years to help house children who enter the country without accompanying adults. The Miami Herald describes the program as essentially a "federally funded foster care system."
Bishop Wenski said that despite there being a recent decrease in unaccompanied minors “it is baffling that the U.S. government would shut down a program that it would be hard-pressed to replicate at the level of competence."
Robert Latham, associate director of the University of Miami Law School’s Children and Youth Law Clinic, said that the gutting of funding and possible need to move the children elsewhere could inflict serious damage on their developing psyches.
"It’s incredibly psychologically harmful to be moved,” he said. “For little kids, moving repeatedly creates bonding issues and destroys the sense of both self and community. They don’t know who they are and where they will be."
“This should only be done with a lot of emotional support that you normally would find within a family. Unfortunately, that is not there in a group home setting,” Latham added.
Of course, Donald Trump couldn't care less about the suffering of children. This man was friends with Jeffrey Epstein for years and been accused of sexual abuse himself. He started his Iran War by blowing up a school full of little girls and his administration has worked around the clock to strip funding from programs that feed, educate, and house children.
While the administration has not admitted that these funding cuts are payback against Pope Leo, the point A to point B is apparent. Trump is the most vindictive man to ever hold the presidency. He has been relentlessly attacking Leo for criticizing his Iran War. This is him using financial leverage in an effort to beat the Pope into submission. It will not work.
Please ❤️ and share to demand that the funding be doubled when Democrats take back control!
Her father is an immigrant from Uganda. She is in the United States criticizing immigrants for coming to America in large numbers from what she called third world countries, and she gives Uganda as an example. The irony did not seem to bother her at all.
Grok says it is unverified!
Reports suggesting the direct transfer of Chinese DF-41 intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) to Iran are unverified and conflict with the known strategic role of the DF-41 as a, typically land-based, Chinese nuclear deterrent.
