Resurfaced clip shows Epstein pleading the Fifth when asked if he was with Trump around underage girls

A resurfaced clip shows sex offender Jeffrey Epstein pleading the Fifth when he was asked during a deposition if he ever socialized with underage girls around Donald Trump.

The video clip, unearthed by left-leaning outlet MeidasTouch, shows Epstein responding to questions during a March 2010 deposition. The disgraced financier was questioned by an attorney of an alleged victim, Vice News previously reported.

In the clip, the attorney asks: “Have you ever socialized with Donald Trump in the presence of females under the age of 18?”

Epstein replied: “Though l’d like to answer that question, at least today l’m going to have to assert my Fifth, Sixth, and 14th Amendment rights, sir.”

Trump has never been accused of any crime in connection with the Epstein investigation and has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing. Pleading the Fifth refers to invoking the Fifth Amendment right to remain silent and not self-incriminate.

Inside socialist Zohran Mamdani’s posh wedding bash at secluded Uganda compound — complete with phone jamming system, armed guards

Socialist NYC mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani celebrated his recent nuptials with a lavish, three-day affair at his family’s ritzy, secluded Ugandan compound — complete with masked security guards and a cellphone jamming system, The Post has learned.

The gates of the bustling, private compound, which sits in the wealthy Buziga Hill area outside the capital city of Kampala, were heavily guarded by military-style, masked men this week, with guests streaming in and partying until midnight, according to sources in the town who wished to remain anonymous for security reasons.

Mamdani, 33, eloped with artist and animator Rama Duwaji, 27, in February.

He told his social media followers Sunday he was heading to his homeland to celebrate with his wealthy filmmaker mom and professor dad, who own the Buziga Hill property.

The neighborhood is home to some of Uganda’s richest, including billionaire businessman Godfrey Kirumira, a city tycoon with stakes in real estate, tourism, petroleum and infrastructure, and houses neighboring the Mamdanis easily fetch more than $1 million.

Study: Google’s AI Summaries Cause Massive Decline in News Website Traffic

A new study has revealed that Google’s AI-generated search result summaries are leading to a drastic reduction in referral traffic for news websites, with some losing nearly 80 percent of their audience.

The Guardian reports that a recent study conducted by analytics company Authoritas has found that Google’s AI Overviews feature is causing a significant decline in traffic to news websites. The AI-generated summaries, which appear at the top of search results, provide users with the key information they are seeking without requiring them to click through to the original source.

According to the study, a website that previously ranked first in search results could experience a staggering 79 percent drop in traffic for that particular query if the results appear below an AI overview. This alarming trend has raised concerns among corporate media companies, who are now grappling with what some consider an existential threat to their business model.

The research also highlighted that links to Google’s YouTube were more prominently featured compared to the standard search result system. This finding has been submitted as part of a legal complaint to the UK’s competition watchdog, the Competition and Markets Authority, regarding the impact of Google AI Overviews on the news industry.

Google claims it has refuted the study’s findings, with a spokesperson stating that the research was “inaccurate and based on flawed assumptions and analysis.” The tech giant argued that the study relied on outdated estimations and a set of searches that did not accurately represent the queries that generate traffic for news websites. Google maintained that it continues to send billions of clicks to websites every day and has not observed the dramatic drops in aggregate web traffic suggested by the study.

Breitbart News previously reported that Google is seeking AI licensing deals with corporate media companies, in part to mollify concerns about AI cannibalizing their content.

Retailers Accused Of “Racism” As They Flee Black Neighborhoods In Milwaukee

Milwaukee is the latest in a long list of US cities facing a rapid retail exodus in minority neighborhoods and once again the blame is being placed on the companies in question rather than the behavior of the residents as they protests the rising tide of “food deserts”.

At the beginning of July, city officials mounted a public outcry after Cincinnati-based Kroger Co. announced the decision to close at least five Pick ‘n Save supermarket locations, including one in Milwaukee’s Metcalfe Park neighborhood. 

The city was also notified by Walgreens that they will be closing at least seven locations over the next two years and CVS will be closing some locations as well.  Activists argue that the closures center around “black and brown neighborhoods” and that these areas “deserve access” to nearby grocery outlets.  

Kroger’s decision was discussed at a July 2 meeting of the Common Council’s Community and Economic Development Committee.  Many people walk or take the bus to buy food, said Alderwoman Sharlen P. Moore. If the store is gone, they may have nowhere close to shop.  “This impacts our city,” Moore said. “They’re closing quite a bit of grocery stores that are in neighborhoods that absolutely have no access to groceries.”

Muslim Doctor Defends Wife-Beating, Advises Husbands to Avoid Serious Injury, Calls It ‘Therapeutic’

In a disturbing interview, a doctor at Gaza’s Islamic University openly instructs Palestinian husbands that they are obligated to beat their wives—but only in a way that avoids breaking bones or damaging vital organs. His justification? That “wife-beating should be therapeutic, not vindictive.” 

“The purpose of wife beating is to warn the wife that the life of the family is in danger and that the marital relations are in danger,” the doctor said. “She needs to be cautious and not let the family be destroyed.” 

He clarified that the beating should be symbolic yet real, with specific conditions and guidelines to follow. According to him, the aim of a husband beating his wife is not to seek revenge or cause harm, but rather to correct her behavior and safeguard the family. He emphasized that husbands should avoid striking women in sensitive areas like the face or vital organs. The beating, he insisted, should not be severe or motivated by malice.

“The husband beating his wife should be like a guy beating his sweetheart,” he said, referring to the saying “The beloved’s first is as sweet as raisins.” 

“It’s like when a father beats his son or when a mother beats her daughter for doing something wrong,” he continued, arguing that the beating should be “therapeutic” to correct one’s wife.

Wu’s New Housing Plan: White, English-Speaking Neighborhoods Deemed ‘Low Priority’

If you worked hard, bought a home, speak English, and live in a quiet neighborhood — congratulations. You’re officially not a priority in Mayor Michelle Wu’s Boston.

That’s the takeaway from the Wu administration’s new 69 page “Anti-Displacement Action Plan,” which introduces a scoring system to decide who gets housing help and where the city should focus its efforts. Spoiler: it’s not on you.

Buried in the plan is a city-developed “Displacement Risk Map,” which flags neighborhoods by race, language, income, education level, and homeownership rates. Areas that are, in the city’s own words, “more white, more English-speaking” and filled with homeowners are marked “low risk” — and thus less deserving of city support.

Low-risk block groups are mainly concentrated in Charlestown, Downtown, North End, Seaport, West End, and West Roxbury. They tend to be whiter, and have higher proportions of college-educated, homeowning, and native English speaking residents.

In other words, if your neighborhood is too stable, speaks the wrong language, or just has too many people who finished college — don’t expect much from City Hall.

Covid Lockdowns Devastated an Entire Generation of Children

In what we now understand were completely theatrical attempts to control the Covid-19 pandemic, experts demanded and politicians mandated all sorts of intrusive policies. Mask mandates were one of the most obvious. School closures. Lockdowns. Curfews. Capacity limits. Fear campaigns. The list is and was endless. And unfortunately the public willingly complied with all of them.

On and on they went, for years in some cases. But in their discussions of those useless policies, one thing they always, without fail, ignored was the ancillary cost.

Sure, you can mandate masks, but what does are the effects for those who are forced to wear them? What does it cost in terms of lost social cohesion, normalizing anti-social behavior? What are the trade-offs that result from closing schools, from forcing businesses to shut down, or locking down society?

Are there harms to physical, emotional, or verbal development?

These are important questions that were completely ignored by those in power during the pandemic, because they were inconvenient to the architects of the covidiocy.

But new research is out confirming yet again that the collective absurdity of Covid policies caused immense damage and permanent harm to a generation of children. For nothing.

Media Not Reporting New Russiagate Developments Because ‘They Were Complicit’ in Original Crime

Mollie Hemingway of The Federalist recently appeared on FOX News and suggested that the liberal media is not reporting the explosive new details about the Russia collusion hoax because they were ‘complicit’ in the original crime in 2016.

This is exactly right.

During Trump’s first term, liberal outlets would eagerly repeat any detail that was leaked to them no matter how outrageous the claims. Now that Tulsi Gabbard is revealing details that directly implicate former President Obama and others, the same outlets are strangely uninterested. It’s so clear what is going on here.

Transcript via Real Clear Politics:

MOLLIE HEMINGWAY, THE FEDERALIST: What happened, when you go back to 2016, is the Obama administration hid intelligence showing that Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election was no big deal. They suppressed that because they didn’t want Donald Trump to know about it. Then they immediately began leaking to the Washington Post and to the New York Times false things, things that weren’t true, the opposite, that Russia had conspired with Trump to steal the election.

And the Washington Post and New York Times, when they were asked to publish these things that were not true, they just went ahead and did it. They took the word of John Brennan and other sources like that who had made these false claims. Then the Obama administration manufactures a completely fake intelligence assessment, again with this claim that Russia had conspired with Trump to steal the election.

And they leaked that to the media as well. Well, when they were receiving these leaks, the media did whatever these people wanted. They pushed this absolutely delusional conspiracy theory for years.

And now that we know that, and it was a fake story. Now that we know the real story, and the real story is shocking, the Obama administration suppressed real intelligence and then they manufactured fake intelligence for the purpose of undermining a legitimately elected administration. The media are hiding it.

And why? Because they were complicit in the crimes that were committed.

Feds Want $2.5 Billion For Lavish Marble Palace As Americans Can’t Afford Homes

The Federal Reserve’s website boasts a freshly updated page explaining ongoing renovations to two buildings, in the interest of transparency.

The page neglects to mention the cost of the renovations. 

The project’s price tag stands at a staggering $2.5 billion dollars, according to Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Russell Vought. That’s up from a modest $1.9 billion proposal at the outset, according to Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott of South Carolina.

Chairman Jerome Powell has grossly mismanaged the Fed.

While continuing to run a deficit since FY23 (the first time in the Fed’s history), the Fed is way over budget on the renovation of its headquarters.

Now up to $2.5 billion, roughly $700 million over its initial cost.… pic.twitter.com/lHK4cWlAvf

“At a time when the Fed is running an operating deficit, maintains high interest rates, and is receiving significant public scrutiny, one has to wonder whether the so-called ‘Taj Mahal near the National Mall’ project is in the best interests of the board & the public it serves,” questioned James Blair, White House deputy chief of staff.

Fake News Debunked: Sob Story About ICE Deporting Old, Suffering Grandpa Gets Blown to Shreds When the Brutal Truth Emerges After a Few Twists

A hit job by a disgruntled family on President Trump’s immigration policies was destroyed when, after a couple of twists, the stunning truth emerged.

Earlier this month, a report emerged that an 82-year-old Chilean legal immigrant and grandfather in poor health named Luis Leon, supposedly an Allentown, Pennsylvania resident, was arrested by ICE while Leon was trying to replace his green card. He first gained asylum in 1987.

Both Leon and his wife, who was also arrested, were then taken to a detention facility without being given a reason. While Leon’s wife was released roughly 10 hours later, Leon remained in custody.

Family members of Leon told The Morning Call that Leon died in custody before saying he was taken to a hospital in Guatemala.

From the Morning Call:

Relatives of 82-year-old Allentown resident Luis Leon are headed to a Guatemalan hospital Saturday in hopes of reuniting with the man they say disappeared without a trace into the American immigration system a month ago — and who, for a time, they thought was dead.

The last time anyone in the family saw Leon was June 20, when he went with his wife to a Philadelphia immigration office to have his lost green card replaced.

There, the family says, he was handcuffed by two officers, who led him away without explanation. His wife, who speaks little English, was left behind and kept in the building for 10 hours until she was released to her granddaughter, the family says.

But then a twist emerged. Guatemala authorities issued a press release on Tuesday saying no one named Luis Leon ever entered the country.
