IS THIS ON THE CONTRARIAN'S RADAR? The omission of said files is allowed only when the subject is part of an ongoing investigation:

EPSTEIN'S GO-BETWEEN WITH PUTIN HOSPITALIZED AFTER ALLEGED SUICIDE ATTEMPT

This Emphasizes Even Further Need For the DOJ To Release ALL Epstein Files UNREDACTED

On November 23, 2025 I sent out a post which included the fact that in 2018, during Trump’s first term, Epstein, who was facing financial difficulties with the Russian banks, reached out to former Norwegian Prime Minister Thorbjorn Jagland. Epstein asked Jagland to “suggest to Putin that Russia’s Foreign Minister could get insight into Trump by talking to me (Epstein )” and that Russia’s Ambassador to the U.N. had already consulted with Epstein to better “understand Trump”.

At a minimum, the clear implication of all of this was that Epstein was seeking to use Jagland as a go-between to enable Epstein to pass along information about Trump to Putin, which Epstein obviously believed would benefit both him and Putin

Today, the British media giant, The Mirror, reported that: “Former Norwegian Prime Minister Thorbjørn Jagland was hospitalised after an alleged ‘suicide attempt’ on Tuesday, February 24, just a few days after he was charged with serious corruption offences linked to his association with paedophile Epstein. Jagland was charged with ‘gross corruption’ after newly released documents appeared to reveal a transactional relationship between the ex-PM and cthe onvicted paedophile, between 2011 and 2018. Some Norwegian outlets have reported a suicide attempt but the high-profile statesman’s legal team has insisted he was rushed to hospital due to extreme stress instead of a deliberate act.”

The speculation is rampant in the European media as to whether Jagland’s sudden hospitalization is due to a suicide attempt or, as his lawyers claim, extreme stress.

Certainly, one cannot discount the prospect that given the fact that “Jagland and Epstein maintained a close relationship from 2011 to 2019”(per Wikipedia’s research), Jagland’s involvement with and knowledge about Epstein may not have been limited to questionable financial transactions.

It also seems inconceivable that when Epstein asked Jagland to serve as a go-between with Putin, that Jagland had no idea of what Epstein intended to pass along to Putin.

This development should intensify Congress’ efforts to demand that the DOJ comply with the law, that was signed by Trump, requiring them to disclose ALL of the Epstein files, UNREDACTED.

Let’s remember the Trump administration’s threat to take Medicaid away for some of Minnesota’s citizens. Disgraceful,

The SOTU last night was more like the Presidential Awards Show. It was a choreographed show with surprise guests, rambling speeches that said nothing, and questionable fallacies. SCOTUS sat stoically (those that showed up) as well as the military representatives, the former forced to listen to insult after insult. I felt as though I was watching a puppet show with POTUS as the puppeteer and his marionettes genuflecting ad nauseam. I was terribly disappointed that any Democrats attended. I applaud the US Olympic Women's Hockey team for declining the invite and wish I could say the same for the Men's. I can only assume that the "awards" which are normally presented at the White House were intended as a distraction because he had nothing substantive to say and needed a time filler. BTW, someone please tell me where gas is $1 a gallon. Here in L.A. it's $5.89+ for premium.

In discussing the pedophilia horror show, please reference as the Trumpstein Files.

I actually didn’t know that tRump loved “people” (that word signifies plural individuals).

The Epstein files should be released in their entirety. The only redacted information should be the survivors personal information and or identity. Lets prosecute the perps and enablers and put an end to all this felonious criminal conduct. If this involves the president then the stakes are higher even if this means impeachment and pokey time to follow.

After the administration killed the ACA -- as Trump has always wanted to do (if only it wasn't named "Obamacare"), and the subsequent backlash or at least some reporting of the repercussions, Trump proposed his solution: health care accounts, and payments directly to people.

Interviewing a citizen about to go without healthcare subsidies, her answer was "What does he think, we're stupid?!".

It's one thing to tell us (especially those who only watch Fox) to not believe what you see, believe what I say. 'It's a different ballgame when the "ordinary" folks, have to count every penny to feed, clothe, get medicine, transportation to work and school, heat their house....

There was a commercial a few years back which showed an individual with his paycheck, then ripping off pieces to pay bills and expenses. What was left -- a teeny piece to cover until the next one.

As the branches of the MAGA tree fall off (Epstein coverup; MGT as spokesperson; the NRA; the NFL; WWF fans...) what I think has happened is that Trump has shown himself to be the opposite of what he sold himself. Not "sent by God"; not "your retribution"; not "I get you, I'm with you"; but just another corrupt politician. And as before, they make promises they don't keep, once elected and who come and go, effecting no change in their community or their lives.
