Democrats are spreading accusations that the Epstein files show that Donald Trump raped a 13-year-old girl in the Summer of 1994.

However, even SNOPES rejected the claim as false.  “A lie can travel around the world and back again while the truth is lacing up its boots.” said Mark Twain.   But with Democrats’ misinformation, it’s quantity, not quality.

For example, The Daily Beast just posted a story “DOJ is Hiding Trove of Documents About Trump’s 13-Year-Old Accuser.”  But the story was widely published — and debunked — in 2015-2016 and again in 2024.

Democrats are trying to hang Pam Bondi for withholding documents that were already released long ago.  SNOPES covered the lawsuit in June 2016 after others did in April 2016.

A former producer for the Jerry Springer show, Norm Lubow, admitted to SNOPES that he engineered the hoax against Trump.

Anti-conservative SNOPES concludes that Lubow is “someone who has a professional history of using individuals to create fictional salacious drama.”

The Plaintiff told the Revelist that Lubow (as Al Taylor) helped write her lawsuit, which would be the unauthorized practice of law.

Republicans are not good at public relations.  And by the time the false story collapses, the damage will have been done.

The truth must be told now, not after it is too late.  Possibly boosted by spending from Iran and other foreign countries, as the Washington Post speculated, massive “reach” of the lie is persuading millions of low-information voters addicted to social media.

Just one video (with children speaking German, while parading fully clothed in front of a “Trump” figure seen from behind with the wrong color hair) received 6.8 million views according to the Post.  (The asexual video looks like training future models to have good posture.)  GROK reports that the Trump figure was added artificially to an unrelated video.

So on April 26, 2016, a Katie Johnson by herself filed a lawsuit against Trump and Epstein in California.  Now courts can be hard to navigate, especially without a lawyer.

But the lawsuit gave false contact information for the Plaintiff, using the address of a foreclosed house whose owner died in October 2015.  See:  Radar Online April 28, 2016.

By the way, the claims of hundreds of January 6 protestors of police abuse were thrown out because the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia said someone “might not” answer the telephone number they gave.

Investigations at Jezebel and The Guardian found many problems in the story.  The Plaintiff claimed to be “involuntarily” at sex parties but “she was enticed by promises of money and a modeling career.”   This is self-contradictory.  The promoters clearly expressed their own motivations as wanting to defeat Trump as a candidate for unrelated reasons.  Id.; Jezebel.

The lawsuit was filed in California, then again in New York. The lawsuits were dismissed or withdrawn.  But this was presented as Trump having settled, evidence the claims were true.

In fact, the California case was dropped for failing to state a cause of action.  In context, this would mean that the factual allegations were significant but they were not presented in a legally valid pattern, the way a lawyer should have done.  That may sound harsh.

Worse, though, the court docket indicates that the court was unable to contact the Plaintiff who filed the complaint at the address she provided.  Nor could the Court locate a forwarding address for her.  A squatter living in a boarded-up house should have found a way to receive mail.

Julie K. Brown, the journalist who uncovered the federal government’s plea deal in Florida with Epstein in 2008, wrote on twitter that, “The woman just wouldn’t talk, and her lawyer would not confirm she was even legit. … The address she gave on her first lawsuit was false. She was linked to political operatives at one point.”

In August, 2015, a Gawker Media employee received an unsolicited voicemail tip from someone identifying themselves as Al Taylor, “the PR person for the Erotic Heritage Museum in Las Vegas.”

SNOPES reports that numerous journalists, advocates and political operatives attempted and/or were promised in-person interviews. These promises never panned out. Steve Baer, a conservative mega-donor who promoted the claims, told Jezebel that he never met the accuser in person, despite many attempts.

And:  “Only one outlet, the now defunct millennial-targeting site Revelist, scored any sort of interview with the accuser.

In July 2016, after first being promised an in-person meeting by Meagher, Revelist’s Emily Shugerman got only a conference call that left her questioning whether Johnson really existed. ‘I don’t know if the Katie Johnson I spoke to is the same girl who Trump allegedly raped in 1994, or if that girl even exists,’ she wrote.”

The case was re-filed in New York by a patent lawyer.  Sometimes finding a lawyer is difficult, especially with deadlines expiring.  But given Trump’s deep pockets, a litigator seeking a big pay day would be probable.

In August 2016, a prominent attorney Lisa Bloom helped organize and publicize a news conference.  But Johnson backed out at the last minute, leaving ‘a room full of waiting reporters without answers, as Vox described.  She dropped the New York case days later.

One problem is that people think that “the Epstein files” imply someone verified or confirmed what is in the documents.  That is false.  They are simply random collections of raw pages.

Nothing in the Epstein files is necessarily remotely accurate.  The only half-way useful documents are the FBI Form 302 interview notes, but those are just what someone said.  Lawsuits are just accusations.

Still, one heavily-redacted document suggests that the person calling herself Katie Johnson made claims against others that convinced the FBI she was not credible but self-contradictory.

“Is it possible that the claims are nevertheless true?”  SNOPES keeps asking.  Yes, of course.  But that is not how law or logic works.  In serious legal issues, if an accusation cannot be proven it must be entirely ignored or assumed to be false.

We recognize that anything is possible and new information could arise.  But society has to make a decision, and without convincing evidence that decision must be to reject unproven claims.

Meanwhile, standard DOJ policy, as with the January 6 prosecutions, has always been to redact anyone’s name who has not been formally indicted or charged with a crime.

Women in the Epstein files with their face blocked out are not necessarily underage.  One photograph shows obvious neck wrinkles, thinning hair, and bleached hair on brown roots, indicating a 30-40 year old woman.

Yet propagandists are claiming this is an underage girl just because the face is hidden.  DOJ policy would hide people of any age who are not charged of any crime.

There is a massive social media push to portray photographs of Trump’s grand-daughter Kai and Trump’s daughters, wearing swimsuits (this being Florida with beaches and pools), at very young ages.  These photos of Trump’s family are presented as strangers providing evidence of Trump being a pedophile.

Guest post by PO1, USN, Retired Jerry Keenan

I know I’m not alone in my frustration with all the tiresome memes, comments, and other posts by Democrats and other uneducated liberals claiming that the whole world has been laughing at America since Donald Trump was elected president in 2024. Nothing could be further from the truth.

I served 20 years in the USN in uniform and five years in a suit with the Naval Security Group between 1963 and 1989.

I have immediate family and many longtime friends in the United Kingdom, where I was stationed for about 18 years: 13 in London and 5 in Londonderry (aka Derry), Northern Ireland.

During my first tour in Derry, I met and married a local Derry girl, a single mom, and we had three children of our own. We divorced in 1977. Our youngest daughter passed away in 1968, and my stepson passed away in 2023.

Our son from that marriage served four years in the US Navy, some of that time aboard the Command and Control ship USS LaSalle AGF-3 in Bahrain during the Gulf War, and has PTSD from his experiences there, though not as severe as that of other veterans from that war.

Following his service, he remained in the United States, working in the shipyards in Long Beach, California.

After about 10 years, he returned to his hometown in Northern Ireland, where he married, divorced, and was employed by the British Postal Service (aka Royal Mail) for about 25 years.

He recently retired from there, and this is where my challenge about the world laughing at us begins.

In my son’s case, Keir Starmer and his Labour Party’s destruction of the United Kingdom from within, similar to what the Democrats are doing here, gave him reason to leave.

He was a supporter of Donald Trump even while working for the Royal Mail and informed me that many of his co-workers were also supporters.

Some even made their support clear by putting up FJB posters and displays at work.

Many of my son’s friends encouraged his move to the United States because there was no longer any future in Britain or the Irish Republic, due to the recently elected Anti-Semitic president of Ireland, who welcomes the same kind of Middle Eastern invaders as Starmer, with the majority being military-age males, with very few women and children.

The encouragement from his co-workers and friends convinced him to leave the UK.

He sold his house, car, and other items and moved to the United States at Christmas.

He is currently awaiting paperwork from the State Department so he can complete the final stage of permanent residency, vote, obtain his driver’s license, and get a job.

He wants to do everything legal—which is why he has nothing but contempt for the Democrat party. It is no longer Great Britain, just Britain. The Muslim conquest is well underway.

I also have many friends in London from my 13 years there, but because of Lord Mayor Sadiq Khan’s policies and the destruction of that once beautiful city, most of them have left the city for other parts of Britain or left the country completely.

Many of them tell me how lucky we are to have Trump instead of the likes of Starmer and Macron.

Some have commented that Starmer is worthless and supports the Muslim invasion of Britain. There are plenty of videos on the internet that more than support this viewpoint.

Unfortunately, most Brits and Irish are hesitant to post “derogatory” comments about Starmer, his Labour government, or the Muslim invaders because they do not want to end up in jail, but word will always get out – one way or another, just as it did with Tiananmen Square.

All the lefty hype about “the world” laughing at us is just that – nothing but hype.

The liberal hatred for President Trump only emphasizes their lack of intelligence and common sense to enable them to see what is right in front of them – a man who loves his country and is working 24/7 to make it into the country it was when I served. A country everyone wanted to live in.

From my own international experiences, which date back to my first tour of duty in Iceland in 1964, I am certain that all these “reports” the left tries to shove down our throats come directly from the propaganda arm of the globalist elites who would have us all under their heels and control every aspect of our lives.

Unfortunately, too many people believe the lies they are fed because they lack the education we had as kids that taught us to reason and think for ourselves. Recent events in Minnesota prove that.

It appears that Bari Weiss’ leadership style at CBS News is continuing to rankle some of the more ideologically slanted reporters at the network.

Weiss was brought in as editor in chief largely to steer CBS News more toward the middle, after it had drifted further and further to the left for years.

That mission doesn’t appear to be sitting well with one of Weiss’ soon-to-be former veteran reporters.

Reports of Justice Department correspondent Scott MacFarlane’s pending departure from CBS News first surfaced Monday, with Status (operated by former CNNer Oliver Darcy) breaking the story.

After the announcement was made to CBS News staffers first, MacFarlane sent his own memo to his peers outlining his decision to leave.

Upon confirming that his work “will soon no longer appear on CBS News,” MacFarlane added that, “I will always value the opportunity I had to work alongside the talented and committed professionals here. I’m proud to have had the words ‘CBS correspondent’ next to my name — always will be.”

But is he actually proud to have “CBS correspondent” on his work history?

According to Mediaite‘s transcripts of the Status report, the veteran reporter had allegedly grown “disillusioned” with Weiss’ leadership style — and there was apparently a tipping point in January.

Status’ Darcy reports:  “Specifically, MacFarlane was appalled and disheartened by the way the ‘CBS Evening News’ marked the five-year anniversary of the January 6 insurrection.”

Drilling down, Darcy said that MacFarlane was “aghast” after CBS News dedicated all of 16 seconds to commemorate the event. He took special issue with the “both sides approach” that the 16-second segment adopted.

While MacFarlane didn’t broach any of Darcy’s reporting, he did confirm on social media that his time at CBS News was coming to an end and that he had sent a memo to his colleagues about it:

UPDATE: i just shared this note with my colleagues:

“To my incredible colleagues at CBS: I want to personally let you know that my work will soon no longer appear on CBS News. This is my decision, and I appreciate the bosses at CBS for understanding it.
I will always value…

— Scott MacFarlane (@MacFarlaneNews) March 9, 2026

“This is my decision, and I appreciate the bosses at CBS for understanding it,” MacFarlane said on X.

He added, “For the next phase of my career, I look forward to some independence and finding new spaces to share my work in line with my personal goals. I thank you all. The work will not stop, and I’ll always be a call away.”

Weiss’ ascent came after CBS News’ parent company, Paramount, merged with Skydance.

As The Hill pointed out, MacFarlane is just the latest in a line of veteran reporters who have bristled under Weiss and departed.

She is far from being a conservative voice, but since being appointed as head of CBS News, Weiss has instituted sweeping changes to the tone, tenor, and style of the embattled network.

Humans haven’t been to the moon or its orbit since 1972 – but now, the time has come to return.

In the runup to launch last month, the SLS rocket presented issues that led it to be carted back to the assembly building for further work on it.

But now, everything seems to be ready for the greatest Space adventure of the 21^st century.

NASA teams have polled ‘go’ to proceed toward Artemis II’s launch around the Moon.

We’re targeting March 19 to roll the rocket out to the launchpad at @NASAKennedy in advance of a launch attempt on April 1, pending completion of work at the pad: https://t.co/B58YibEjYI pic.twitter.com/vSVV6wx5No

Space.com reported:

“Artemis 2 managers met over the past two days, conducting the mission’s flight readiness review (FRR) ahead of rolling its Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion capsule back to the launch pad for liftoff. Repairs to the SLS were recently completed inside the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida, where ground teams will now prepare the vehicle for transportation to KSC’s Launch Complex-39B.”

The rocket and the Orion capsule are expected to be rolled out to the launch pad on March 19, with NASA targeting a launch as soon as April 1.

“’During the flight readiness review, we had extremely thorough discussions — very open, transparent’, Lori Glaze, NASA’s Exploration Systems Development acting associate administrator, said during a post-FRR press briefing today.”

“’We talked a lot about our risk posture and how we’re mitigating those risks’, Glaze said. ‘We reviewed the challenges that we’ve had and how we’ve addressed them, and we talked about the work that remains, what’s left to do, and how we’re going to get through all of that’.

Artemis 2 is NASA’s first crewed mission to the moon in more than 50 years. It will launch NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover and Christina Koch, as well as Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen, on a 10-day journey around the moon and back to Earth aboard the Orion spacecraft.”
