Pedophiles are not merely criminals — they are predators who study weakness the way a sniper studies distance. They groom, manipulate, and target innocent young girls, then coerce their silence. Jeffrey Epstein perfected this evil. With obscene wealth, private islands, and the veneer of sophistication, he constructed a pipeline of teenage girls. Then he surrounded himself with powerful men whose presence transformed them into accomplices and human shields. His crimes were deliberate, organized, and camouflaged by luxury and influence.

The Government Shutdown And The Collateral Damage It Caused.
Alright, friends — lace up your sensible shoes because we’re strolling into a field that’s been plowed, planted, and harvested by venture capital, political ambition, and some very high-powered alliances. And at the center of it sits a pairing that should make every farmer, every rural community, and every American paying attention to land ownership perk up: J.D. Vance and Peter Thiel.
America at 250: It’s Time to Bring the Ballot Home
Demagoguery is nothing new. America has always had its fire-breathers, Father Charles Coughlin, Senator Joseph McCarthy, Governor George Wallace, each exploiting fear and resentment to build a following. But today’s demagogues operate at a scale those predecessors could never imagine. They don’t need studios or rallies; they have livestreams, podcasts, and algorithmic megaphones engineered to reward outrage. They arrive faster, louder, and more frequently, wrapped in hashtags and monetized resentment.
First and most important: “Take care that you are not made into a Caesar, that you are not dyed with this purple dye; for such things happen. Keep yourself rather simple, good, pure, serious from affectation, a friend of justice, a worshipper of the gods, kind, affectionate, strenuous in all proper acts. … help people. Life is short.” (The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius, VI, ¶ 30); below “MMA”.)
Analysis of why countries go to war sometimes argues that leaders are motivated by problems at home. They attack another country to divert attention from an economic crisis, an unlawful act, or—as in the Robert De Niro movie, Wag the Dog—a sex scandal. In recent years, for example, Israel’s all-out response to the Hamas attack in October 2023 might be explained as having been prompted by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s political and legal troubles. India’s brief war with Pakistan in May may have occurred to release domestic political pressures in both countries. These explanations may be off the mark, but they appear regularly in speculation about why political leaders decide to fight rather than negotiate.
The United States was instrumental in creating the Nuremberg Charter, Principles and Judgment, and in orchestrating the Tribunals. The chief prosecutor at Nuremberg, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson, made clear that the Tribunal’s function was to prosecute and punish the architects of the “final solution,” the designers, developers, and administrators that produced and implemented the gigantic apparatus of the holocaust which destroyed at least 10 million civilian victims.
According to the Death Penalty Information Center, in the modern era of the death penalty (since 1972), at least 226 military veterans have been executed in the United States. This constitutes 14 percent of all people who have been executed in this time period. As of November 10, seven veterans have been executed in 2025, which is 22 percent of all people executed or currently under death warrant. Some 200 veterans remain on death row today—approximately 10 percent of the death row population—despite veterans constituting only 6 percent of the overall population.
