My late husband had a favorite saying when anyone ever suggested the possibility of an early death. He would say, "Not me. I want to stay around and see how it all comes out." Well, me too. But I want to stay around and help it all come out the way it's supposed to.
Your husband’s words gave me chills, Jan. What a powerful way to live: eyes open...heart steady...wanting to see how it all comes out. And I love how you’ve taken it one step further...not just witnessing history...but shaping it. That shift from spectator to participant is where real hope lives.
We need more people like you...rooted, clear-eyed...and in it for the long haul. Not because it’s easy. But because it’s worth it.
Perfect song, Midi. That line hits like a sixth sense...the way you know something’s shifting… even before it breaks the surface. There’s a storm in the distance...and some of us can already feel the pressure drop. That tension? That stillness before the upheaval? It’s real.
Thanks for sharing that. It fits this moment like a heartbeat.
You have no idea how much that means to hear, Philip. I write these with fire in my chest and my jaw set...so knowing it’s landing with people like you? That’s fuel. You’re the reason this isn’t just noise in the void… it’s a signal. A gathering. A movement.
Thank you for riding with me. The upcoming articles are already heating up.
When all the perps are revealed in the Epstein documents and the victims and survivors of these heinous crimes get justice, it will be a great day. This is such a huge multi-faceted crime with so many tentacles that all other money/power/abuse scandals combined will be microscopic.
That day can’t come soon enough, Jill...and you’re right: when the full truth finally cracks the surface, it won’t just be a story… it’ll be a reckoning.
The scale of this isn’t just about one man...or even one network. It’s a window into how power has been abused in the dark for decades...and how much they’ve done to keep it that way.
Justice for the victims will be the beginning of a new chapter...one where sunlight becomes policy. Thank you for carrying that hope with conviction. I’m honored to walk alongside readers like you.
Figure, there are Dems on the list too. A lot of us will be disappointed in our hero’s, sadly. Biden would have put it out, otherwise, I think. Gotta happen , to cleanse the soul of our Country.
You’re right to brace for impact, Beverly. If the full Epstein files ever surface...it won’t just shake one side...it’ll shake the entire political and cultural establishment. And yeah… some of our so-called heroes may not make it through. That’s going to hurt.
But like you said, it has to happen. No healing without exposure. No justice without truth. This isn’t about protecting sides...it’s about protecting what’s left of the country’s soul. I’d rather face the pain of disappointment than live under the illusion that only the “other side” is capable of corruption.
I'm grateful to readers like you who are ready to face all of it... no matter where it leads.
You're welcome, Becky. I'm not much of a cook. I can't build a house. You certainly don't want me working on your car. I'm just fortunate enough to have people like you interested in the one thing I can do reasonably well.
Epstein is an Achilles Heal that must be exploited until it breaks 47 power over his minions. More more, everyday. AND EVERY OTHER FAILING TO HIS BASE. We gotta remember, MAGA has all the guns.
You’re absolutely right, Beverly. Epstein is a crack in the armor...and if we keep the pressure on..it could become the fracture that shatters the whole illusion of invincibility around 47. His base has been sold a myth of moral superiority… and this is where that myth starts to rot in plain sight.
We do need more. More truth. More exposure. More connecting the dots...for everyone watching and for those still on the fence. And yes, we also have to stay clear-eyed about the threat. They’ve got rage...they’ve got weapons...and they’ve got nothing to lose. But what we have is strategy...numbers...and a damn good reason to fight.
Appreciate your fire. Let’s keep turning the screws.
That means more than you know, Mary. If even a sliver of that hopelessness is starting to lift...then we’re doing something right...together. Because once hope cracks through... even a little… it spreads. And it starts turning watchers into fighters.
Thank you for showing up. I’m honored to be in this with you.
Your instincts are razor-sharp, and I share that same “not so fast” reflex.
The timing of the WSJ piece does raise eyebrows. If the goal was exposure...why wait until after the OBBB passed? And if this lawsuit has real teeth...why a number like $10 million when Murdoch has proven he’ll pay nearly 80x that to make a story vanish?
Sometimes, the real story isn’t just what’s revealed… it’s when it’s revealed...and why. You’re asking the right questions. And that’s how we keep from being played...even by the outlets we want to trust.
Jack, you give me some hope. The key word for that implosion to happen is disgust. About 1/2 of us are disgusted. We have to get enough of the other side disgusted. Then we can slay the monster.
You nailed it—the real trigger isn’t outrage or even fear… it’s disgust. That deep...visceral revulsion that makes people finally say, “I don’t want to be associated with this anymore.” And you're right: half the country already feels it. The other half just needs to see enough—clearly, repeatedly...and undeniably.
That’s where we come in. Truth creates disgust. Disgust creates distance. And distance is how cults collapse.
Glad to be in this fight with someone who sees the road that leads out of the darkness, Greg.
Ha! Now that’s the real mystery, isn’t it? Somewhere out there...sealed behind redactions and NDAs… are the names of the guilty...and maybe a trail of taco wrappers leading straight to them. 🌮
Who eats well depends on who tells the truth. Let’s keep the heat on… and maybe save the tacos for the victory party.
This was precision in all aspects. We need this outed exactly as it is with no editing. Whomever is there, is there. No punches pulled. Take them down. Too long the US has turned a blind eye on atrocities. It's time ⏲️ 🙌

This is the song that popped into my head as I was finishing up this article.
"I feel it coming in the air tonight." Phil Collins

Good one!
ooh boy am I waiting with bated breath! you've been ON FIRE recently and I love it! definitely one of my go-tos, thanks so much for what you do!

I wonder why the WSJ waited until after the OBBB was passed?
If this had been published prior the damage would be done but the bill’s damage may have been less.
Why sue for 10M when Murdoch paid 787M for the DVM settlement?
My gut always says “not so fast”.

Thanks for your input and taking the time to reply!!
There’s always more to a story that seems too easy. We will definitely keep the pressure on!!!

I wonder how many 🌮🌮🌮 will be eaten… and by who!!!

They will not look complicit, they will be complicit. They will not stand behind Trump. I hope you are right, Jack.
