BREAKING:The Supreme Court just rejected Ghislaine Maxwell’s appeal of her criminal conviction for recruiting and grooming teenage girls for sexual abuse by Jeffrey Epstein.
The decision means that her conviction and 20-year criminal sentence remain in place.
8:35 AM · Oct 6, 2025
Now that her appeal has been rejected by The Supreme Court, it’s time for her to be transferred back to the Maximum Security Prison where she belongs.
It will never not amuse me that this entire thing has never been an obsession from those of us on my side. These were very awful people who deserved to go to jail for the destruction of lives that they caused. For the innocence of all those that they stole. For being truly awful people. But, I swear to you that the folks on my side of the aisle? Never an obsession with us.
The Pardon of Ghislaine Maxwell
She has all the cards now.

Donald Trump feared this day would come.
The Supreme Court just refused to even look at Ghislaine Maxwell’s appeal. No oral arguments. No grand jurisprudential debate. A curt “hard pass,” and the door clicks shut.
Her conviction stands.
And if you’re Donald Trump, or his Epstein cover-up team, particularly his personal attorney turned deputy attorney general and damage-control valet, Todd Blanche, this is the moment the game stops being theoretical and starts being kinetic.
The one person who knows where an awful lot of bodies are buried just ran out of legal runway, and that gives her something priceless in Trumpworld: leverage.
Let’s set the table.
Donnie “Wonderful Secret” Trump is alive. Jeffrey Epstein is dead. One person can intimately connect them, and Trump’s pet Supreme Court just told her to pound sand.
Ooops.
LarryO’s opening segment tonight about Comey’s arraignment is hilarious. LarryO is blistering.

Seeing the White House draft an internal memo that wow… maybe we shouldn’t pay anyone on furlough is really par for the course.

Reporter: Is it the WH’s position that furloughed workers should be paid their back pay?
Trump: It depends on who we’re talking about. We’re going to take care of our people. There are some people that really don’t deserve to be taken care of, and we’ll take care of them in a different way

As President Donald Trump on Wednesday called for jailing Gov. JB Pritzker and Mayor Brandon Johnson for “failing to protect ICE,” the Democratic governor responded to the threat by urging the president to “come and get me.”
Trump posted on Truth Social: “Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also!”
Speaking to reporters at a federal workers rally at Federal Plaza later Wednesday, Pritzker responded to Trump’s threat.
“Look, he’s a coward. He says a lot of things. He likes to pretend to be a tough guy. Come and get me,” Pritzker said.
🚨BREAKING: Mike Johnson now says Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva won’t be sworn in until the government reopens — despite swearing in Republicans during pro forma sessions.
When asked why not her, he said Florida GOP members were a “unique exception” because their families flew in.…

The consensus of macroeconomists globally is that the techbros and Trump are driving the markets towards a Crédit Mobilier-type meltdown in which they will profit massively, but the financial system will be devastated. http://www.ft.com/content/fe47...

@CuriousMrFox101
Kash Patel strutted onto Fox this week like he’d uncovered Al Capone’s secret army announcing that five percent of Chicago’s population 110000 people are active gang members. Scary right until you check the fine print and realize his “intel” came from a dusty old police database so sloppy the city’s own inspector general wanted it shredded. It’s basically a list of anyone who’s ever shared a sandwich with someone in a hoodie. But who needs accuracy when fear makes better TV?
What Patel skipped right over is the inconvenient part the one where Chicago’s violent crime is actually plummeting. Homicides down more than thirty percent shootings down about thirty five the steepest decline in a decade confirmed by WTTW WBEZ and http://FactCheck.org. That doesn’t fit the “Democrat ruin” narrative so he pretends it’s not happening. Facts are boring panic is ratings gold.
The MAGA routine writes itself now. Take one inflated number add ominous music call the city a war zone and cue Hannity’s serious face. Then declare victory for some “quiet federal operation” that never actually happened. Meanwhile on planet Earth Mayor Brandon Johnson’s reforms and community safety programs are producing the biggest drop in gun violence in years.
So no Chicago isn’t collapsing under gang rule it’s quietly improving while pundits scream into cameras about ghosts. Patel’s version makes for great campaign theater but it’s about as grounded as a QAnon weather report. The city is healing the numbers prove it and the only crime here is how badly they keep lying about it.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. The plan wasn’t to be made public. Clearly someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.
It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

So
@jaketapper
has seen my posts calling out his blatant double standard — how he hounded Joe Biden over every breath, blink, and pause but now bends over backward to excuse Trump’s obvious mental and physical decline.
Just listen to this. It’s pathetic. Tapper is actually trying to convince people that the rambling, incoherent mess we’re seeing from Trump is “just how he’s always been.” Give me a break.
This kind of cowardice is exactly how we ended up here. The media helped sell the idea that Biden — older, yes, but steady and competent — was somehow a bigger danger than a corrupt, lying narcissist who can’t finish a sentence.
Never forget who ran cover for it.
