  • The Daily Blast: Trump Accidentally Wrecks His Own Epstein Lie as Musk Goes for Jugular

    The Daily Blast: Trump Accidentally Wrecks His Own Epstein Lie as Musk Goes for Jugular
    Jul 29 2025
    President Trump just offered some bizarre new ramblings about the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. But he undermined himself: He claimed to know about elite Democrats and liberals who had visited Epstein. But that just raises the question that won’t go away: If this is what the Epstein files would reveal, then why isn’t Trump ordering their release? Every time Trump says such things, he wrecks his own Big Lie: That the Epstein scandal is a Democratic hoax that actually implicates Democrats even as he won’t release the files. Meanwhile, Elon Musk just endorsed the idea that Trump might try to pardon Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell in exchange for exoneration. Musk knows Trump’s machinations here are a major point of weakness. We talked to Jennifer Rubin, editor-in-chief of The Contrarian, who has a good new piece laying out why Trump should be panicking over this scandal. We discuss the absurdity of Trump’s biggest Epstein deceptions, why they’re unsustainable for Trump, and why it all underscores the urgency of a Democratic victory in 2026.

I look forward to reading Brian's book. Every day I find myself wishing the average American could understand that behavioral disorders are a driving force in government and so very prevalent. It corrupts everything like a malignant cancer. I'm hoping that accountability for those in the former administration will raise awareness in more people, and better candidates and choices will be made in the future. We have a long way to go.
