Kellen also accused three previously unmentioned men of alleged sexual abuse.

One of the most perverse aspects of Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking ring was the fact that he usually groomed and upgraded his victims to become co-conspirators, had them from being abused to farming out and helping victimize others.

This makes any reckoning effort so hard and difficult to implement.

This week the US House Oversight Committee heard the testimony of Epstein’s longtime assistant Sarah Kellen in what has been described as one of the most relevant appearances yet.

Kellen is a clear example of this ‘dark satanic mill’ that grinds victims into perps, as she tells the Committee that she was ‘sexually and psychologically abused’ by the late pedophile for over a decade.

Sarah Kellen, described as Epstein’s right-hand woman alongside Ghislaine Maxwell, just sat for hours with the House Oversight Committee and gave up three brand new names of alleged abusers.

ABC News reported:

“’He groomed me, sexually and psychologically abused me, controlled me, manipulated me, dominated me, and gaslit me, until I could no longer tell which thoughts were mine, and which were his’, the statement said.”

Kellen has been the subject of criminal investigations but has never been charged.

Chairman James Comer called Kellen’s appearance ‘the most substantive, productive interview that we’ve had’ and said that said that Kellen had given the committee three new names of people that were involved in sexual abuse.

3 NEW NAMES in Epstein’s case

[A CNN report states that these men are Frederic Fekkai, a French celebrity hairstylist; Philip Levine, the former mayor of Miami Beach and cruise industry entrepreneur; and Patrick Demarchelier, a French fashion photographer.]

Back in the ABC News report, Kellen said she was recruited for the job as Epstein’s assistant at 17 years old.

“’I was 21 years old, far from where I grew up, stuck on an island in the middle of nowhere, with no college degree, no family, no friends, no money, and nowhere to live’, she said.

[…] ‘After months of unpaid labor, he instructed me to draw him a bath on his island, then ordered me to undress and get in with him, and he said, ‘The job is yours. Now you just have to keep it,’’ she said in the statement. ‘He then pulled me onto his bed and made clear what ‘keeping the job’ required. Only after I submitted to his sexualabuse did the paychecks begin’.”

“Anticipating questioning from committee members about why she stayed with Epstein — even after he went to jail for a crime involving an underage girl — she explained that she felt she had ‘nowhere else to go.” “I had no money, no family, no education, and no sense that I deserved any better’, her statement said.”

She also was also fearful of defying him.

“He knew everyone in the fashion industry, academics, finance, government, powerful world leaders, dictators, and everyone in between. From the beginning, he showed me that he was more powerful than basically anyone in the world. Jeffrey was able to fool and manipulate the brightest minds in the world; us victims didn’t stand a chance. I was a high school dropout from North Carolina. I was a silent body in a chair beside men who started and ended wars. I understood, completely, that if Jeffrey could walk into those rooms, he could walk into any room in the entire world. He could find me anywhere on earth.”

The post Epstein’s Former Assistant Sarah Kellen Testifies Before House Oversight Committee, Says She Was a Victim of Late Pedophile, ‘Sexually and Psychologically Abused’ on a Weekly Basis appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.

The Gateway Pundit reported that after Judy Walcott reported that someone she believed to be a man was inside the women’s locker room at a Planet Fitness in New Hampshire, her longtime membership was canceled.

Walcott told Fox News Digital, “I was shaking. Like I was actually trembling because it freaked me out that bad.”

After initially reporting the issue, she was told that the staff could not do anything about it due to company policy.

Walcott raised the issue again with another staff member a few days later and was called “transphobic.”

Ultimately, Walcott said, the gym’s manager called her to say her membership had been canceled for a “policy violation.”

Now, NH State Representative Lisa Mazur (Hillsborough District 44) has shared disturbing details about the man she says is at the center of the controversy, noting that, if this is indeed the man that Planet Fitness is protecting,  he was previously convicted of felonious sexual assault and the victim was a minor.

“The main stream news is failing to do their job, so here is the bigger picture on this story out of NH,” Mazur wrote on X.

“The man pretending to be a woman hanging out in women and children’s private spaces is Christopher Beaulieu. He was previously convicted of felonious sexual assault (victim was a minor).”

“So the thing they say never happens is absolutely happening. He also hangs out at Chuck E Cheese in Manchester.”

“Judy Walcott was getting ready to use the bathroom in the women’s locker room at the Concord Planet Fitness when she saw Christopher hanging up belongings outside a shower.”

“Understandably she was very uncomfortable and scared (I know this feeling because men use our restrooms in the State House too), so she went to the front desk and reported it. The employees ignored it.”

“A few days later, she reported it to another employee who called her “transphobic” and told her to quit if she didn’t like it.”

“A few hours later, the assistant manager called her and canceled the membership. They forged her signature on the cancelation too. This smells like a lawsuit waiting to happen.”

“So a woman was punished for being frightened in her private space, and the man is still hanging out freely in there.”

PARIS, France – In a move straight out of the radical environmentalist playbook, France’s so-called Constitutional Council just overturned the will of Parliament and the French people by annulling the suppression of ZFE – Zones à Faibles Émissions, or “Low Emission Zones.” These are the hated climate lockdowns on wheels that ban older, affordable cars from entering major cities, fining working-class drivers into oblivion while elites glide around in their taxpayer-subsidized EVs.

This decision, handed down on May 21, 2026, censored key parts of a law meant to simplify economic life and give French motorists a break. The “Sages” (the Wise Ones – what a joke) ruled that scrapping the ZFEs was a “legislative rider” with no direct link to the bill’s original purpose. Translation for Americans: unelected bureaucrats in robes just nullified a democratically passed reform because it didn’t fit their green agenda.

French drivers – already crushed by sky-high fuel taxes, inflation, and endless regulations – had reason to cheer when Parliament voted to axe these zones earlier this year. Polls showed massive public support for ditching the restrictions that treat regular cars like environmental crimes. But the globalist elite, the same crowd pushing net-zero suicide policies across Europe, wasn’t about to let that happen. Enter the Constitutional Council.

The “Wise Men” Who Aren’t Always Wise – Or Even Lawyers

Here’s where it gets truly infuriating for anyone who values democracy and competence. Unlike the U.S. Supreme Court, where justices are mostly top-tier legal minds with decades of rigorous experience, France’s Constitutional Council is stacked with political appointees – often loyal insiders with zero requirement to be actual jurists.

No law degree needed. No judicial experience mandatory. Just political connections.
Members are hand-picked: three by the President (Macron’s crew), three by the Senate president, three by the National Assembly speaker.
Current president? Richard Ferrand, a longtime Macron ally and former Assembly president – a pure political operative, not some constitutional scholar. Richard Ferrand has no university degree. He studied law for only two years at Paris-Descartes University but never obtained a bachelor’s or master’s diploma. A former journalist and insurance executive turned career politician, he has zero formal legal training — yet he now sits as President of France’s highest constitutional court. His appointment was controversial — even in France.

Many “Sages” are ex-politicians, former ministers, or party hacks rewarded for their servility. They swear an oath to impartiality, but their track record screams otherwise: protecting elite green policies, blocking populist reforms, and acting as a super-legislature when it suits the establishment. Former presidents even get lifetime seats – a bizarre holdover that lets retired politicians keep meddling.

This isn’t blind justice. It’s political theater dressed up in robes. Critics on the right rightly call it out as a tool to thwart the will of the people when they dare push back against open borders, mass migration, or radical climate controls that hammer the little guy.

Judges who themselves voted for Low Emission Zones!

Several members of the Constitutional Council are former members of parliament or political figures from majorities that voted for or supported environmental laws that created or strengthened LEZs (particularly in 2019-2021 during Macron’s first term). This is the case with Richard Ferrand, the current president of the Council: a former member of parliament and president of the Macron support group in the National Assembly. Ferrand was a pillar of the Macronist majority that championed environmental policies, including LEZs. Judge and jury, perhaps?

What This Means for Real People

These ZFE zones force drivers to buy expensive new vehicles or pay daily fines just to go to work, visit family, or run a business in cities like Paris, Lyon, or Marseille. It’s class warfare: wealthy urban greens virtue-signal while truckers, tradesmen, and rural commuters get screwed. Sound familiar? It’s the same insanity California and European elites are forcing on everyone else.

The Council didn’t just save the ZFEs – they gutted 25 out of 84 articles in the simplification bill. Classic judicial activism: unelected judges overriding elected representatives on technicalities while advancing the climate cult.

French patriots and conservatives, including voices from the National Rally, are furious. This decision reeks of the same deep-state resistance that torpedoed Brexit delays, fought Trump, and now protects Macron-style globalism. The people voted for relief – the “Sages” said no.

Time to Drain the Swamp in Paris?

Low-emission zones reveal the strategy of Macron and the globalists to remain in power even after being defeated at the ballot box: through the judges. Macron is busy appointing as many socialist creatures as possible to the Constitutional Council, the Council of State, and all the institutions whose control, as president, falls within his remit. The avowed objective? To thwart the political alternation that would come with a victory by the party of Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella. In France, as in the United States, the left wants to remain in power at any cost.

France desperately needs reform: real judicial accountability, actual legal scholars on the bench, and an end to this revolving door of political patronage. Until then, expect more rulings that prioritize Brussels green deals and Parisian elites over hardworking citizens.

Why This Should Terrify Every American

This is exactly what the American left wants to do here: use unelected judges and bureaucratic « wise men » (Fauci, EPA, federal courts) to impose policies the people keep rejecting at the ballot box. Macron is stacking the courts to block Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella — just like Democrats are trying to lawfare their way to permanent power against Trump and the MAGA movement.

Low Emission Zones today in Paris = 15-minute cities and gas stove bans tomorrow in America. The French people are done being serfs in their own country. Patriots in the National Rally are calling this what it is: judicial tyranny. The question is simple: will France submit, or will it fight back like the Americans did in 2016 and 2024?

Vive la résistance! The battle continues.

Douglas Shepp McCain, the eldest adopted son of the late John McCain, died suddenly on Wednesday at 66-years-old.

Douglas McCain was the eldest of the late senator’s seven children.

Born to Carol Shepp McCain during her first marriage, Douglas was adopted by John McCain in 1966 after the politician and his mother were married.

Douglas McCain kept a low public profile compared to some of his siblings but was widely described by family and friends as warm and generous.

The deceased’s stepsister, Meghan McCain, announced his passing in a post on Instagram.

“I am deeply saddened to share the news of my brother Doug McCain’s sudden passing,” the former The View co-host wrote. He was a truly wonderful, joyful man who supported me throughout my life. He brought humor, fun and great conversation to every room. I will cherish our memories together. Our prayers are with his wife Ashley and children Caroline and Shepp.”

A post shared by Meghan McCain (@meghanmccain)

Douglas’ obituary states:

Douglas Shepp McCain died suddenly on May 20, 2026. Doug was born on October 4, 1959, in Pensacola, FL. He grew up in Jacksonville, FL, enjoying surfing, baseball, and soccer. He graduated from Jacksonville Episcopal High School in 1977. He went to the University of Virginia (go Hoos!), where he majored in Systems Engineering, pledged SAE, participated in Navy ROTC, and luckily met his future bride, Ashley. After graduating in 1982, he joined the Navy to learn to fly. He spent six years flying A-6 Intruders before beginning a long career with American Airlines, where he excelled and found work he truly loved, especially after making captain.

Doug could always be counted on to tell you what he knew and, more often than not, explain why he was right. He secretly loved his “World Book” nickname and hated that Google eventually put him out of business. He enjoyed golf and was very proud to hold the McCain family record of three holes-in-one. He was a loyal friend to many and cherished each and every friendship. He was a devoted son, a loving father to Caroline and Shepp, and most recently found great joy in being Teddy’s grandfather. Doug will be remembered for his generous heart, his loyal friendships, and his unwavering love for his family. He will be dearly missed by those close to him.

His cause of death has not been made public.

The McCain Institute wrote in a post on X:

“We extend our condolences to the McCain family following the passing of Douglas “Doug” Shepp McCain, the eldest son of John McCain. A Navy pilot like his father, Doug will be remembered as a patriot and friend to the many alumni of Sen. McCain’s Institute, campaigns & Senate staff.”

A bus driver in Chicago was kidnapped at knifepoint, prompting her to flee the assailant by jumping out of the vehicle’s window.

The suspect, a male, was riding the CTA bus around 2:40 a.m. when he allegedly pulled a knife and demanded that the bus keep going, according to a report from WLS-TV.

The driver of the bus, a 57-year-old woman, indeed kept driving on North Clark Street on the Near North Side.

She tripped a silent alarm, and after her supervisor located the bus, she escaped out of the window.

The bus had driven more than 6 miles after leaving the typical route.

The suspect then exited the bus and ran into Washington Park.

He was taken into custody around 3:20 a.m.

Michelle Townsend, 2nd VP of the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 241, said the driver could watch the suspect threatening her in the mirror.

“She could see him through the mirror, what he was doing jabbing with the knife, like he was going to stab her, but only doing it in a motion like she could see through the mirror,” Townsend described.

WLS-TV reported that the suspect’s desires were unclear.

He was apparently able to circumvent the clear cage typically included in buses to protect drivers.

A subsequent report from WLS-TV identified the man as 51-year-old Lanell Fields.

He has been charged with aggravated armed kidnapping, aggravated unlawful restraint, and aggravated assault.

Fields was ordered held and was due back in court on May 20.

He has a criminal record that reaches back to 2001, per WLS-TV.

The offenses for which he has been convicted include looting, burglaries, battery, and damage to property.

The incident in Chicago is only the latest of career criminals — who often have decades of criminal activity under their belts — terrorizing the residents of major cities.

In one particularly harrowing November 2025 incident, a 26-year-old woman was set ablaze on a CTA train.

The alleged attacker, 5o-year-old Lawrence Reed, was charged with committing a terrorist attack against a mass transportation system.

He was on electronic monitoring when he lit the unsuspecting young woman on fire, according to a report from CBS News.

A judge in Cook County had declined to hold him on an aggravated battery charge, which stemmed from him allegedly hitting a social worker.
