Epstein’s ‘sweetheart deal’ came with a ‘sweetheart work-release’ permit.

News arose today that disgraced former Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson visited Jeffrey Epstein twice at his ‘office’ for a ‘bogus firm’ he set up for work-release while imprisoned in Florida on a child sex offense.

When we say the firm was ‘bogus’ we are NOT passing judgment or trying to guess – Epstein himself characterizes it so in an email to Fergie: ‘250 south Australian suite 1404. ten minutes from airport. [The number and address for the fake office of the fake company, the Florida Science Foundation]’.

‘Fake office for the fake company’… Epstein could be brutally honest in some emails.

Ferguson met the convicted pedophile on two separate occasions at his Palm Beach ‘office’ that he used to leave jail every day ‘to work’ and only come back to sleep.

Huge story by @poppyeh today.

The Telegraph reported:

“Epstein victims have alleged in recent weeks that he abused them at the office on 250 South Australian Avenue while he was supposed to be in jail at the nearby Palm Beach County Stockade.

The sex offender was granted access to a generous work release program after he had been jailed for procuring a minor for prostitution in June 2008, which allowed him to leave his cell for up to 12 hours a day.”

Ferguson visited the convicted sex offender twice at his fake office during his incarceration.

Nine months into Epstein’s sentence, she wrote him asking to stop by for ‘a quick cup of tea’ during a layover in Florida.

She later called him ‘My dear spectacular and special friend’.

“The former Duchess of York has already faced a backlash after emails emerged earlier this year that suggested she had later visited Epstein with her two daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, when the pedophile was released from jail and placed under house arrest a month later, in July 2009.

‘Ferg and the two girls came’, Epstein told Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for trafficking girls and women to [him].”

When Fergie attempted to distance herself from Epstein years later, the disgraced financier joked that it was a ‘bold move’ for someone who had even visited him in jail on a child sex offense.

With a crowded Republican primary underway in Florida’s 19th Congressional District, one popular ballot-qualified candidate says he’s being denied the opportunity to make his case directly to Republican voters.

John Strand, a Republican candidate for Congress, is criticizing organizers of the Florida GOP State Convention debate after learning he will not appear on the debate stage despite qualifying for the ballot and running an active campaign.

According to the Florida Department of Elections, he became the first congressional candidate in the history of Florida’s 19th District to qualify for the ballot entirely through voter petitions, collecting nearly 4,000 signatures rather than relying on the traditional qualifying fee. The campaign argues that accomplishment demonstrates a level of grassroots support deserving of a place in any debate featuring candidates seeking the Republican nomination.

The exclusion comes as the race remains fluid, with multiple candidates competing in a wide-open primary and a significant share of Republican voters still undecided, according to the campaign.

Strand’s supporters argue that debates are intended to help voters evaluate candidates—not narrow their choices before ballots are cast.

The campaign also points to a growing list of endorsements from prominent conservative figures and organizations, including Turning Point USA, retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, former Congressman Bob McEwen, Freedom Caucus members, and Southwest Florida businessman Alfie Oakes. Those endorsements, combined with what the campaign says is more than $120,000 raised, are being cited as evidence that Strand has built a credible campaign with meaningful grassroots backing.

The controversy has also reignited discussion about the role political parties should play in deciding who gets a platform during contested primaries.

Conservative activist Charlie Kirk has previously praised Strand’s commitment to constitutional principles and individual liberty, reflecting a broader view among many conservatives that Strand’s political activism has come at considerable personal cost. The campaign frequently points to Strand’s legal battles stemming from his involvement in the events of January 6 as evidence that he has firsthand experience with what it describes as the federal government’s aggressive use of prosecutorial power against political dissidents.

Whether voters agree with that characterization or not, Strand’s supporters argue that those experiences have shaped his focus on civil liberties, constitutional protections, and limiting government power—issues that have become central themes of his campaign.

The debate dispute also raises a broader question that extends beyond one congressional race. If a candidate has qualified for the ballot, assembled a volunteer network, secured endorsements from nationally recognized conservative leaders, and demonstrated measurable grassroots support, should party officials decide that candidate is unworthy of appearing before Republican voters?

Debates have traditionally served as forums where candidates earn support through ideas, performance, and persuasion. Excluding ballot-qualified candidates inevitably shifts that decision away from voters and toward organizers.

With the Republican primary still taking shape and many voters yet to make a decision, Strand’s campaign says it hopes the Florida GOP will reconsider and allow every qualified Republican candidate an opportunity to make his case before the electorate.

Whether party officials revisit the decision remains to be seen, but the controversy has already generated questions about transparency, fairness, and whether grassroots candidates are being given the same opportunity to compete as better-funded or better-connected rivals.

The US military on Friday struck Iran in response to an attack on a commercial vessel in the Strait of Hormuz.

On Thursday, Iranian drones attacked a Singapore-flagged cargo ship exiting the Strait of Hormuz amid a ‘ceasefire agreement.’

Earlier Friday, President Trump said Iran’s attack was a “foolish violation of our ceasefire agreement.”

“The Islamic Republic of Iran shot at least four One Way Attack Drones at Ships transversing the Strait of Hormuz. One of the Drones solidly hit the upper deck of a large and very expensive Cargo Carrying Ship. Damage was done, but the Ship was able to proceed on its way. We knocked down three other Drones. Obviously, this is a foolish violation of our Ceasefire Agreement,” Trump said.

Later Friday, the US military conducted strike against Iranian missile and drone storage locations.

Per CENTCOM:

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces conducted strikes against Iran, June 26, as a powerful response to yesterday’s attack on a commercial ship that was transiting the Strait of Hormuz.

U.S. aircraft struck Iranian missile and drone storage locations and coastal radar sites after Iran hit M/V Ever Lovely on June 25 with a one-way attack drone. The Singapore-flagged cargo ship was exiting the Strait of Hormuz along the Omani coast at the time of Iran’s attack.

The unwarranted aggression against commercial shipping by Iranian forces clearly violated the ceasefire. Furthermore, Iran’s dangerous behavior undermined freedom of navigation as commerce increasingly flows through the vital international trade corridor.

CENTCOM forces continue to provide safe passage coordination and support to commercial vessels transiting the strait. The U.S. military remains present and vigilant to ensure all aspects of the agreement with Iran are adhered to, obeyed, and in full force and effect.

The National Park Service plans to drain the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and begin repairs to the damage caused by vandalism after the Fourth of July, according to new court filings. 

Trump said last week that the pool would be drained to fix the vandalism caused by leftists ripping out the blue sealant and pouring corrosive chemicals in the water. The President said earlier this week that the water would be drained “either immediately before or after the Fourth of July, to do the permanent repair,” while announcing that “Six people have been arrested, and seven people have been cited, for the damage they did to our Country’s now beautiful Reflecting Pool.”

Trump has also said the vandals will face 10 years in prison for the destruction of government property.

Now, the National Park Service is arguing in court that the vandalism occurred.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, a preservation group sued the Trump Administration to block his renovation of the pool last month, arguing “The vivid blue coating will fundamentally alter the visual and experiential character of the pool and the broader Lincoln Memorial Grounds landscape.”

Attorneys for the Trump Administration on Wednesday battled new claims from the nonprofit that the recent vandalism and algae bloom in the pool reinforce its initial lawsuit.

The response from the Trump Administration asserts that the sealant at the bottom of the pool has been “cut with a sharp knife or razor” by vandals. They further argue that “70 fence post tops were thrown into the pool.”

 Per CNN:

“The National Park Service plans to begin draining the reflecting pool following the Independence Day celebration to conduct repairs, including assessing and repairing any damage to the lining,” NPS Deputy Director for Operations Frank Lands said in the filing.

Lands, in the filing, also furthered the Trump administration’s allegations of vandalism, saying in the filing that about “70 fence post tops were thrown into the pool,” and a caulk over the foam sealant “was cut with a sharp knife or razor.”

The deputy director’s declaration was filed as part of an ongoing legal battle over the pool, which has been riddled with issues in recent weeks from claims of vandalism to algae bloom and peeling blue material.

Trump has faced accusations of lying about the vandalism, as the Democrats and left-wing media try to claim that the damage was caused by the contractors and a failed renovation.

Large portions of the bottom have been ripped out, and several people have been arrested for the destruction since last week.

The National Park Service is now asking for help in identifying at least one vandal who was seen in surveillance video allegedly “destroying and removing a piece of the lining and attempting destruction of the lining.” The Interior Department released the tapes on Tuesday.

WATCH:

Trump went off on the Fake News media in the Oval Office when they attempted to deny that vandalism of the pool was occurring this week. “You’ll see it in court, you’ll see it in court, but all you have to do is call the Parks Department, call the Department of Interior, and I don’t know if their lawyers will allow you to speak to them because you know you write fake— you write fake news, but call the Interior Department,” Trump told reporters when asked for proof of the vandalism.

On Tuesday, Trump also announced that lawsuits are being prepared against ABC. “We are preparing lawsuits against ABC for false reporting. I like their money, which will be given to the U.S. Treasury!” Trump said.

Fox News interviewed visitors to Obama’s library and they can’t even name one thing Barack Obama accomplished in eight years as president.

“Name Obama’s greatest accomplishment,” Fox News said to a couple of visitors.

“I can’t remember! It was just a lot!” one supporter said.

“I can’t think! You caught me off guard!” another said.

“I’m gonna have to say just being there,” one woman said.

“Being black,” one person said. “Staying black,” another said.

WATCH:

Barack Obama was one of the worst presidents in US history.

In Obama’s eight years in office, the annual Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rate never reached 3%.

A sluggish economy, high unemployment and Obamacare crushed Americans during the Obama years.

Obama divided the country and flooded the US with third world immigrant scammers.
