I want to just say a word about what the subject [of Epstein] really is, because the congresswoman is, of course, representing the Democratic party’s view of this president. But really the Epstein files and the revelations that they contain are an indictment of an entire class of depraved bureaucrats, whom Donald J. Trump, our president, has admitted to impunity in our political system and authority.
Apparently these people can get away with anything. And this is precisely the issue, the issue of the abuse of wealth and power that got Donald J. Trump elected. He somehow convinced the public that he was on the side of those who demanded accountability from those in power. It’s interesting to me that the best the Democrats can apparently come up with is an assault on Trump personally, probably reflecting his unpopularity. But this is a broader issue. It’s about our whole political class that is indicted by these revelations.

In 1847 Christian immigrants from Holland founded the town of Pella in Iowa. The name is connected to Christian refugees who fled Jerusalem to Pella, a Greek Hellenistic city.
Just down the road is Ottumwa. Earlier this week a City Council meeting began the proceedings with an invocation to Satan:
“Dear Dark Father,
"Let us stand now, unbowed and unfettered by arcane doctrines born of fearful minds in darkened times. Let us embrace the Luciferian impulse to eat from the tree of knowledge and dissipate our blissful and comforting delusions of old."
It ended with the cry, "Hail Satan."
As plague hysteria begins spreading across headlines around the world, there is one detail almost nobody is talking about: governments and military biodefense programs have already poured major resources into developing dozens of plague vaccines.
More than 21 plague-vaccine candidates are under development, spanning mRNA, self-amplifying RNA, recombinant protein, viral-vector, live-attenuated and other technologies.
