Jeffrey Epstein’s Longtime Butler Says There is ‘No Way’ He Killed Himself — Was Confident of Securing Bail Before His Death

Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime butler has said there is “no way” the pedophile financier killed himself in prison.

In an interview with The Telegraph, Epstien’s butler of 18 years, Valdson Vieira Cotrin, said that Epstein “loved life too much” and was confident of securing bail before his apparent suicide.

“I am like his brother, “ he explained. “I don’t believe this was suicide. He loved life too much.”

However, Cotrin also appeared to be in denial about Epstein’s litany of sexual crimes.

“I was his chauffeur, his cook, his housekeeper,” he continued. “I did everything in Paris, I was his only full-time, paid-up employee and worked for him from 2001 until his death.”

“If someone could have seen something, it’s Valdson, there’s no one else.”

Cotrin’s partner Maria Gomes de Melo, who also knew Epstein personally, shares her husband’s view that there was foul play at hand.

“On the Saturday late, we got the news that he had hanged himself, and honestly, he loved life too much to float away like that,” she said.

FBI Director Kash Patel recently insisted during an interview on Joe Rogan that he accepted the official report that Epstein had indeed commited suicide, although this detail remains highly disputed.

“We’ve reviewed all the information, and the American public is going to get as much as we can release,” Patel said at the time. “He killed himself,”

“I’m working my ass off along with the leadership at the Bureau and DOJ to get you what we’re allowed to give you.”

”And you’re gonna get the video of the cell, and you’re gonna see for yourself, and we will never be able to convince everyone.”

COVID mRNA vaccines create ‘numerous off-target products’ that get stuck in heart cells: study

When Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. shifted nearly $500 million designated for mRNA vaccine development to “safer, broader vaccine platforms that remain effective even as viruses mutate,” predictable wailing followed from the public health establishment and mainstream media but also some old-guard conservatives.

National Review editors praised COVID-19 vaccines for their belatedly alleged protections against severe outcomes, citing President Biden’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for the claim they reduced hospitalization and death by 70% among those vaccinated, even as the editors acknowledged the virus naturally became “less severe over time.”

The publication’s intern even called COVID vaccines, whose inability to stop infection and transmission was known to then-CDC Director Rochelle Walensky a month after emergency use authorization, “the most phenomenal medical breakthrough of the 21st century.”

Yet peer-reviewed global research keeps identifying severe adverse events following mRNA vaccination in some groups at low risk from COVID, and a German-led paper in the official journal of the International Union of Immunological Societies offers a causal explanation.

“Our findings reveal that numerous off-target products are produced by mRNA-based corona vaccines following translation of the encoded spike monomers,” said researchers affiliated with institutes on physiology, medical informatics, pharmacology and “Molecular and Translational Therapeutic Strategies” in Germany and Hungary.

“These off-target products may be responsible for both acute vaccination reactions and long-term side effects,” says their Frontiers in Immunology abstract for the paper, accepted July 22, whose “final, formatted version” will be published “soon.”

The research is making small waves on X in several languages. “BOMBSHELL STUDY,” proclaimed Utah doctor Kirk Moore, who faced 35 years in prison on charges of throwing away COVID vaccine doses and distributing fraudulent vaccination record cards.

Attorney General Pam Bondi dropped Moore’s case, initiated by the Biden administration, shortly after the trial started last month, preempting his jury-nullification plan to obtain hidden records allegedly showing the neat overlap between COVID vaccination and deaths. 

Kennedy’s mRNA funding redirect is the “first real policy course correction in a vaccine ecosystem that had drifted from science into speculative biotech fantasy,” said former Ecohealth Alliance Vice President Andrew Huff, whose nonprofit passed U.S. taxpayer money to the Wuhan Institute of Virology and claims the lab “developed” SARS-CoV-2.

TX Judge Slaps Beto O’Rourke With Fundraising Ban Over Fleeing Democrats

A Texas judge has issued a temporary restraining order against former congressman Beto O’Rourke and his nonprofit organization, Powered by People, following allegations from state Attorney General Ken Paxton that they engaged in illegal fundraising to aid Democratic lawmakers who fled the state in an effort to block Republican redistricting legislation.

Tarrant County District Judge Megan Fahey, a Republican appointed in 2019 by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, issued the ruling Friday evening.

The order prohibits O’Rourke and his group from raising funds or providing financial support to the Democrats who left Texas to avoid a legislative vote on GOP-backed redistricting maps.

In her decision, Fahey wrote that “Defendants have and will continue to engage in unlawful fundraising practices and utilization of political funds in a manner that either directly violates or causes Texas Democratic Legislators to violate [the law].

Consumers have and continue to suffer irreparable harm through these unlawful acts because they are making political contributions that are being used to fund personal expenses and violate state law.”

Former Washington Post ‘Fact Checker’ Can Only Stammer When He’s Confronted About Paper’s Bias

Former Washington Post “fact checker” Glenn Kessler found himself on the receiving end of some overdue accountability this week.

In a revealing interview on Mark Halperin’s “What’s Next” podcast on Thursday, Kessler, who worked with the Washington Post for 27 years, squirmed and stammered his way through a series of straightforward questions about liberal media bias.

He was oblivious to such bias.

Halperin, to his great credit, asked the kinds of questions conservative Americans have been asking for more than a generation.

“My theory would be [that] … you attract a lot of liberal readers because your reporters are hostile to Republicans more than Democrats,” Halperin said, before asking his guest how he interpreted the theory.

“Yes, I completely reject it,” Kessler replied, before stumbling through a rambling defense of The Washington Post’s editorial tone.

“Uh, I think, um, uh — that … I mean, how to … how — how to —  how to — I’m — how to phrase this?” he said.

No line more accurately summed up the cadence of the interview than that one.

Kessler laughably claimed the Washington Post was just as hard on former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton as it has been on President Donald Trump.

Biden-Era COVID Vaccine Mandate Records Erased in Donald Trump Rollback

The Trump administration has directed all federal agencies to delete records related to employees’ COVID-19 vaccination status, any noted noncompliance with pandemic-era mandates, and requests for vaccine exemptions.

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) issued the directive Friday in a memo to department and agency heads, instructing them to eliminate both physical and electronic vaccine-related records from personnel files.

The policy change takes effect immediately.

WaPo Fact Checker Gets Called Out to His Face Over Joe Biden Mental Decline Cover-Up

A recent interview between political journalist Mark Halperin and former Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler has reignited discussion over media bias and whether major news outlets avoided directly addressing questions about Joe Biden’s cognitive health.

The conversation, part of Halperin’s Next Up series with prominent podcasters, focused heavily on Kessler’s 2022 fact check defending Biden after several videos showing unusual public behavior gained traction in conservative media.

The clips, widely circulated at the time, depicted Biden appearing distracted, confused, or disoriented during official events.

One of the most viral moments occurred when Biden appeared to wander away during a ceremony before engaging with members of a parachute demonstration team.

Critics pointed to the footage as further evidence of mental decline, but Kessler’s fact check concluded the Republican National Committee’s framing was misleading and asserted that Biden had, in fact, been speaking with the parachutists.

Halperin pressed Kessler on the impact of such reporting.

“When you write that, people say the Washington Post is saying that video is not reflective of Joe Biden’s cognitive decline. That’s what people take from it,” Halperin told him.

Child advocate blames Democrat governor for 6th child death related to family safety dept: ‘There is blood on the governor’

The tragic death of another child in New Mexico has prompted a child advocate to blame the governor and the children’s safety agency that had been warned about the threat.

Vanessa Chavez was charged with child abuse resulting in death after her 18-month-old daughter was found unresponsive and died after 20 minutes of CPR, Albuquerque police said. The girl’s death is the sixth in only four months of incidents that involved the state’s Children, Youth & Families Department, according to KOB-TV.

New Mexico Child First Network founder Maralyn Beck said the death was preventable and places the blame squarely on the governor as well as the child safety agency.

“Every single one of these deaths was preventable,” Beck said to KOB.

She added: “This is on the governor. There is blood on the governor at this point.”

The child had been taken away from Chavez when she was born premature because the girl had been drug-exposed. KOB reports that the girl was returned to the parents for a trial period and died soon afterward.

“One call to child protective services in a functioning system should save the life of a child,” an emotional Beck said. “One single call. That’s a functioning system, and we don’t have that.”

KOB put the criticism to Democratic Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, and she said that it would be a priority for her office as she nears the end of her term but admitted that the agency had troubles.

“You’re chasing your tail, and we’ve been chasing our tail for decades,” she said.

When asked if she was going to make progress in the 18 months she has left, she responded, “We’re gonna make some damn important progress, yes sir.”

Neo-Nazi gets maximum sentence in terror plot to destroy Maryland’s power grid

Brandon Clint Russell, the leader of a neo-Nazi group, had nothing to say before a judge handed down the maximum 20-year sentence for his role in a white supremacist plot to destroy Maryland’s power grid.

Baltimore District Court Judge James K. Bredar also ordered lifetime supervision for Russell once he is released.

Bredar called the Florida man “the brains” behind the chilling plan to destroy five Baltimore Gas and Electric (BGE)substations in and around Baltimore and create a political revolution. 

The judge said Russell wanted to create a “bizarre utopia… where everyone looked like him.”

Earlier this year, a jury found Russell guilty of conspiring to destroy the regional power grid.     

Judge Bredar called Russell “profoundly dangerous” and said he wanted “to engender terror, fear, and chaos.” 

The judge also said Russell has “significant mental health issues.”

“With the guidelines being what they are, yes, we were prepared for this,” said Ian Goldstein, Russell’s lawyer. 

When WJZ Investigator Mike Hellgren asked Goldstein whether his client was dangerous, he replied, “He’s always been very nice to me.”

The Moral Cost of Modern Transplant Medicine

In a time when trust in public health is already hanging by a thread, recent revelations from the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) have delivered another blow—one that strikes at the very heart of medical ethics. 

“Our findings show that hospitals allowed the organ procurement process to begin when patients showed signs of life, and this is horrifying,” Secretary Kennedy said. “The organ procurement organizations that coordinate access to transplants will be held accountable. The entire system must be fixed to ensure that every potential donor’s life is treated with the sanctity it deserves.”

Hidden beneath the surface and quietly ignored by corporate media is a story that should horrify every physician, patient, and policymaker: the commodification of human life in the American transplant system.

The Independent Medical Alliance (IMA), a coalition of physicians dedicated to restoring transparency and patient-centered care, has publicly denounced the findings of a recent HHS report. As President of IMA, I can tell you this: what we’ve uncovered is not a case of benign negligence. It is a deliberate erosion of the most sacred values in medicine—consent, dignity, and the inviolability of the human body.

A System That No Longer Sees the Patient

Organ transplantation is, in theory, one of the great achievements of modern medicine. When practiced ethically and transparently, it has saved countless lives. But like so many institutions corrupted by profit and policy, it has drifted far from its original mission.

In 2024 alone, over 45,000 organ transplants were performed in the United States. That number should inspire hope—but instead, it invites scrutiny. A substantial portion of those organs were harvested under ethically ambiguous conditions, including donation after circulatory death (DCD) and questionable determinations of brain death. The line between patient and donor is blurring—and not in a way that honors either.

Organ Procurement Organizations (OPOs) are incentivized not by patient outcomes, but by volume. The more organs they harvest, the more funding they receive. Hospitals, too, receive significant reimbursement for transplant procedures, creating a perverse system where terminal patients are seen less as individuals with complex medical stories and more as reservoirs of reusable parts. The New York Times has published a piece that urges standards of death to be liberalized even further. “We need to figure out how to obtain more healthy organs from donors… We need to broaden the definition of death.”

Where Are These Organs Coming From?

The public assumes, understandably, that most organ donors are willing participants—cadaveric donors who’ve signed cards or checked boxes. But the data doesn’t support that rosy picture. A growing percentage of organ procurement comes from patients who are not dead in the traditional sense but are declared brain dead or transitioned to DCD protocols under murky guidelines.

Let’s talk plainly: Who decides when a person is truly dead? And how confident are we, as physicians, that our criteria are airtight?

New York rep wants more ‘migrants’ in Brooklyn ‘just for redistricting purposes’

Rep. Yvette D. Clarke, serving New York’s 9th District in Brooklyn, NY, has said that she would like to see more immigrants into her area “just for redistricting purposes.” Redistricting is an emerging political fight ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

“I’m from Brooklyn, New York,” Clarke said on a Zoom call. “We have a diaspora that can absorb a significant number of these migrants, and that, you know, when I hear colleagues talk about, you know, the doors of the inn being closed, no room. In the end, I’m saying, you know, I need more people in my district, but just for redistricting purposes, and those members could clearly fit here.”

New York joins Texas and California in undertaking redistricting efforts. President Donald Trump has called on Texas to redo its districts to remake some of their districts as GOP majority, saying this could be a gain of 5 seats. The Texas legislature began a special session on Monday to undertake that project.

California Governor Gavin Newsom countered that proposal by saying that he would redo California’s districts. California, however, has an independent commission in the state to create districts, per the state’s constitution.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has also said that “all options” are on the table to win back the House in 2026, including redistricting. “All options are on the table when it comes to winning back control of the House,” he said.

Former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke said that with regard to redistricting across the country. “We have to be absolutely ruthless about getting back in power,” he said. “So yes, in California, in Illinois, in New York, wherever we have the trifecta of power, we have to use that to its absolute extent. And then the last thing: this may end up biting Republicans in the ass. You have the possibility that they will disperse Republican voters to make up these three or four or five new congressional districts and put those districts in play.”

The population of District 9 in New York is about 771,000, which is greater than the population of two states and the District of Columbia. Brooklyn at large has a population of 2.6 million people, which is larger than the populations of 16 states. By recent estimates, there are nearly 600,000 illegal immigrants in New York City, with the boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens holding the bulk of that population.
