WSJ Offers To Settle Lawsuit With Trump Over ‘Fake’ Epstein Report

President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that the Wall Street Journal has offered to settle the president’s lawsuit against them over a report that Trump set notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein a bawdy letter for his birthday in 2003.

The explosive report claims that in 2003, Trump sent Epstein a birthday note alongside a scribbled photo of a naked woman. The alleged photo, which the outlet claims included a signature reading “Donald” on the drawing’s waist to look like pubic hair, was not published by The Journal.

It did provide a transcript of a bizarre poem, which they claim was written by Trump. The transcript of the alleged note goes as follows:

“Voice Over: There must be more to life than having everything.

Donald: Yes, there is, but I won’t tell you what it is.

Jeffrey: Nor will I…

Donald: We have certain things in common, Jeffrey.

Jeffrey: Yes, we do…

Donald: Enigmas never age…

Jeffrey: …it was clear to me the last time I saw you.

Trump: A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.”

Just hours after the story was published, President Trump vehemently denied the report and announced that he would be filing a lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal, as well as notorious media mogul Rupert Murdoch, the platform’s owner. While speaking with reporters on Tuesday, Trump claimed that the outlet has already reached out in an effort to settle the suit.

“It’s in the lawyer’s hands. I’ve been treated very unfairly by The Wall Street Journal,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One after being asked about an effort to expedite a deposition from Mr. Murdoch.

“They are talking to us about doing something, but we’ll see what happens. Maybe, they would like us to drop that,” Trump said, adding “they want to settle it.”

Pelosi Panics on CNN When Pressed About Insider Trading

Nancy Pelosi appeared rattled and visibly annoyed during a CNN interview this week when anchor Jake Tapper confronted her with Donald Trump’s accusations of insider trading. The former House speaker had joined the program to discuss the 60th anniversary of Medicaid, but things quickly went off-script when Tapper tried to bring up Trump’s pointed remarks.

Tapper began to quote Trump, saying, “Nancy Pelosi became rich—” before Pelosi abruptly cut him off. “Why—why do you have to read that?” she snapped, clearly not happy with where the discussion was going.

Tapper attempted to defuse the tension, saying he just wanted to give her a chance to respond to Trump’s claims. But Pelosi was having none of it. “We’re here to talk about the 60th anniversary of Medicaid. That’s what I agreed to come to talk about,” she protested.

The tension only escalated as Tapper continued, “He accused you of insider trading. What’s your response to that?”

Pelosi has long faced accusations of insider trading due to her husband Paul Pelosi’s lucrative stock trades, often timed around key congressional actions. Critics allege the Pelosis have profited from privileged information, pointing to trades involving companies like NVIDIA, Apple, and Visa that coincided with legislation affecting those industries. Watchdog groups and bipartisan lawmakers have pushed for stricter regulations or outright bans on congressional stock trading.

Now We Know the Official Who Approved the Spikevax Vaccine for Children While Robert Kennedy Jr. Was Allegedly on Vacation

Earlier this month, erroneous reports circulated on the internet and fake news media that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. terminated two top officials at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

Heather Flick Melanson, his Chief of Staff, and Hannah Anderson, Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, are no longer at HHS.

According to ABC News, the dismissals were sudden and unexplained.

No reason was given for the ousters. The person familiar with the situation told ABC that Kennedy “has every right to make personnel decisions.”

“Secretary Kennedy has made a leadership change within the Immediate Office of the Secretary,” according to a statement provided by an HHS spokesperson to ABC News. “Effective immediately, Matt Buckham will serve as Acting Chief of Staff.”

“Mr. Buckham currently serves as Kennedy’s White House liaison at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, where he oversees the recruitment and onboarding of political appointees across the agency. He brings valuable experience in personnel strategy and organizational management to this new role,” the statement continued.

“Secretary Kennedy thanks the outgoing leadership for their service and looks forward to working closely with Mr. Buckham as the Department continues advancing its mission to Make America Healthy Again,” the statement concluded.

Buckham will continue to serve as Kennedy’s White House liaison, according to an administration official.

This story at ABC broke after the FDA — under HHS leadership—officially granted full approval to Moderna’s controversial mRNA COVID-19 vaccine, Spikevax, for children as young as 6 months old through 11 years of age who are deemed “at increased risk” of COVID-19.

The vaccine was previously available to kids under Emergency Use Authorization (EUA), but the FDA has now handed over full approval, greenlighting the use of the experimental shot despite growing evidence of adverse events, including myocarditis, pericarditis, allergic reactions, and even seizures in young recipients.

This was a decision Kennedy was neither authorized nor briefed on.

However, this media report was not accurate.

Russian Intel: US and UK Working to Oust Zelensky and Enthrone Zaluzhny – Ukrainian General Is Portrayed in the Pages of Vogue

The ousting of Kiev regime leader is ongoing – and today, the successor was anointed in the pages of Vogue.

After three and a half years hailed as the heroic defender of democracy and a present-day Churchill, Kiev regime leader Volodymyr Zelensky rapidly fell out of favor with both the exhausted Ukrainian population and with his masters in the West.

We reported today here on TGP how the EU has frozen all aid until the independence of the anti-corruption agencies is restored.

(The problem is that the agencies were investigating people on Zelensky’s and Andriy Yermak’s circles.)

But, according to Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, the US and Britain not only want to replace Zelensky with General Valery Zaluzhny as president of Ukraine, but they are already plotting it, discussing it at a secret meeting in the Alps.

Until February 2024, Zaluzhny held the post of commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Here he became famous as the organizer of meat grinders for Ukrainian troops.

Sputnik reported:

“In March 2024, due to a conflict with Zelensky and unwillingness to give him decision-making on army actions, he was removed from his post and sent as the Ukrainian ambassador to London. He probably carries out Kiev’s main communication with [British Intelligence] MI6.”

CNN Slammed For Labeling Black NYC Shooter “Possibly White” In Latest Example Of Fake News Lies

Leftist mainstream media outlet CNN is being blasted online for falsely labeling black 27-year-old New York City gunman Shane Tamura, who killed three citizens and a police officer on Monday, a “possibly white” suspect.

A photo of the suspect that was going around during a manhunt while he was still on the loose and a copy of his concealed firearms permit clearly show a non-white male.

Meanwhile, CNN anchor Erin Burnett told viewers that police knew “he is, a male, possibly white. He’s wearing sunglasses.”

A new ‘dossier’ reveals extensive pro-Israel bias among reporters, editors and executives at the ‘NYTimes’

Normally, New York Times journalists work under a strict code of behavior meant to reduce the appearance of bias in their reports. They are not, for instance, allowed to attend political rallies or demonstrations in their personal capacity. One Times reporter told me years ago that she couldn’t go to a pro-abortion rights march, even though she didn’t cover the issue. These restrictions extend into the Internet Age. Times journalists on social media are supposed to be guarded in their opinions, and they can be cautioned if they overstep.

But the Times’s struggle against even the appearance of bias vanishes when the subject is Israel and the Palestinians. The organization called Writers Against the War on Gaza recently released a “dossier” which listed “high-ranking editors, journalists and executive officers at the Times” who the group alleges have “material and ideological ties to occupation and apartheid.”

Most obvious are Times reporters who have personal or family connections to Israel’s military. The dossier cites Natan Odenheimer, who actually served in the army’s “Maglan” special forces commando unit for almost 4 years. Interestingly, Odenheimer’s own summary of his experience on the Times website completely leaves out this portion of his biography. He tells us: “I’ve reported on Israelis and Palestinians for over a decade, and my work has also taken me to Jordan, Egypt, Iraq and other locations.” But somehow his military experience didn’t make the cut.

Reporter Isabel Kershner’s two sons served in Israel’s military. And in the past, Ethan Bronner’s son was also a soldier. The dossier notes that Bill Keller, then the Times’s executive editor, actually defended that connection, arguing that Bronner’s reporting benefited, because his son’s service “suppl[ied] a measure of sophistication about Israel and its adversaries that someone with no connections would lack.” (For the record, this site has over the years been on top of this story. Here’s the Kershner connection, from more than a decade ago. And Phil Weiss explained how Bronner went to great lengths to try and conceal the link.)

Let’s pause for a thought experiment. Let’s say the Times considered hiring a Palestinian reporter in Jerusalem — who it then turned out had belonged to a militant group in his or her youth. The ensuing firestorm of criticism would instantly sink the appointment.

House probes whether EU, Biden administration pushed Spotify to censor podcasters including Joe Rogan, Steve Bannon

The House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday launched an investigation into whether the EU and Biden administration pressured Spotify to censor free speech, The Post has learned.

Censorship has been a point of tension for Spotify, which has faced heated backlash for flagging COVID-19 information from podcaster Joe Rogan and banning Steve Bannon from the platform.

“More relevantly, it’s the pressure we are seeing the EU put on companies to censor more,” a source familiar with the probe told The Post.

In a letter sent to Spotify CEO Daniel Ek, US Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) slammed recent laws from the EU and UK that require social media platforms – even those based in the US – to censor “disinformation” and “harmful content” or face massive fines.

“These foreign laws, regulations, and judicial orders may limit or restrict Americans’ access to constitutionally protected speech in the United States. Indeed, that appears to be their very purpose,” Jordan wrote in a copy of the letter obtained by The Post.

This Scene Perfectly Defines The Fake Legacy Media…

John Brennan, the Obama CIA Deep Stater currently up to his neck in the oversight majority staff report that details how he and others under Obama cooked up the entire Russia collusion hoax, appeared on MSNBC and provided a snapshot that perfectly encapsulates the legacy media.

Brennan openly accused DNI Tulsi Gabbard of lying even though the documents are declassified for all to read. 

And he did this with Jen Psaki, the former Biden Press Secretary.

Fired ABC Reporter Terry Moran Claims Trump Plans to End Press Freedom and Must Be ‘Stopped’

Former ABC News reporter Terry Moran, who was fired from the network for a social media rant against a White House aide, now is comparing President Donald Trump to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and claims the U.S. will lose its free press if Trump is not “stopped.”

Moran made his latest criticisms on the Substack channel of former MSNBC commentator Chris Matthews, another former TV news star who left his long-running show “Hardball” in disgrace in 2020 following accusations of making inappropriate comments about women.

ABC fired Moran in June for posting a blistering social media rant against Trump and White House aide Stephen Miller. The dismissal ended a 28-year-career at the network.

Moran’s latest diatribe — which critics would say confirms the reporter’s biased mindset when he was purportedly a mainstream reporter at ABC — was sparked by Matthews lamenting the recent CBS/ Paramount settlement with Trump.

“Is this going to keep going?” Matthews asked, wondering if other networks and publications would “grovel” before President Trump.

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.
