U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro joined multiple members of local, state and federal law enforcement agencies to announce what they’re calling “the largest law enforcement bust of precursor chemicals bound for a foreign terrorist organization.”

Twice the Trump DOJ has asked the courts to permit the release of names associated with the case against Jeffrey Epstein and the victims of sex trafficking therein. Twice the courts have denied the Trump administration the ability to release the sealed Grand Jury records. [August 20th] and [July 23rd]
Most of the various victims of Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation have previously been paid victim compensation amid various lawsuits including a substantial $290 million financial settlement from JPMorgan Bank in 2023, one of the financial institutions used by Epstein. These lawsuits resulted in what has been reported as ‘various non-disclosure agreements’ (NDAs), which the victims signed.
After the DOJ and congress has released all of the available files, and with various courts refusing to break the seals on names and files within grand jury records, and against the background of multiple victims receiving considerable previous compensation, a group of Epstein victims held a press conference in Washington, DC today demanding the sealed names and NDA covered names be released.
The victims would not, most likely because they legally cannot, discuss the names; but they did say they would compile another private list of names of the people to whom they were trafficked. What the purpose of that private list would be is unknown. The entire thing now seems really weird. WATCH:
Some have claimed a comprehensive list of the names in grand jury files or prior lawsuits would include Donald Trump. However, it seems ridiculous to make that assertion given the profile of President Trump in 2016 and 2024.
If there was any risk to President Trump, the Clinton campaign would have exploited that vulnerability during the height of the MeToo movement in 2016. Assuredly, even without Clinton, the Kamala Harris campaign would have used that narrative in 2024. Neither political opposition effort ever engaged in such a claim.

Today, President Donald Trump will welcome newly elected President of Poland, Karol Nawrocki back to the White House.
President Trump supported Nawrocki in his successful election campaign, and with the primary topic of Ukraine likely at the forefront our U.S. President is expected to discuss the future of the conflict with neighboring Poland.
During discussions and negotiations with EU leaders at the White House last month, President Trump called Nawrocki to join the conversation instead of the globalist adversary, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk.
According to the White House, President Trump will greet Nawrocki at 11:00am EDT with the two leaders to meet first in the Oval Office before a private lunch. NATO member Poland borders both Russia and Ukraine.
(Reuters) – […] The U.S. military presence on NATO’s eastern flank, including Poland, remains one of the key issues for Warsaw, which is seeking assurances of continued support.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

According to John Solomon speaking with Devin Nunes recently, there is likely nothing much left from the files of Kash Patel at the FBI to disclose to the public, perhaps moving to the Mueller information will be the next steps.
For most of us, bringing this storyline to the point of accountability is fraught with frustration. Here are some of the issues as they present.
♦ The Big Problem Within Russiagate – Special Counsel John Durham previously indicted Hillary Clinton lawyer Michael Sussmann. Durham said Sussmann misled FBI investigators. The case against Sussmann resulted in an acquittal.
During the trial of the Perkins Coie lawyer, depositions and testimony were given by the Clinton campaign. Campaign Manager Robby Mook admitted the Trump-Russia storyline was a false political hit constructed by the Clinton campaign and launched with the full knowledge of Hillary Clinton.
Durham’s case against Sussmann was predicated on a baseline that the Clinton campaign duped the FBI into opening an investigation. This was the core of the Sussmann trial; that Michael Sussmann lied to and misled the FBI.
Anyone who researched the issues already knew the FBI was not “duped” or “misled” by the information; instead, the FBI were active participants. However, to make a case against Perkins Coie, Sussmann and Clinton, the Durham prosecution needed to pretend they didn’t know. The jury saw through the pretense and Sussmann was acquitted.
At the time of the trial a few of us noted the motive presented by Durham (ie. FBI duped) had ramifications. This predicate claim essentially quashed any later criminal conspiracy as the court records highlighting how the FBI were duped would preclude any reversal of motive toward any other participant. If the FBI were duped, how could the FBI participants be criminally negligent?
The Clinton team were direct. Yes, they manufactured a political smear about Trump/Russia, and yes it was all political. The people who manufactured the false claim admitted Trump-Russia was optics and false narratives. So, what? That’s politics.
Speaking to reporters in Miami, Secretary of State Marco Rubio affirmed the shift in drug enforcement that will now use the full weight of the United States military to “wage combat” level measures against Venezuelan drug networks. WATCH:
Moments before the presser, the Pentagon had released video of a speedboat carrying drugs that was engaged and destroyed by the U.S military. 11 persons on the boat were killed and the cargo destroyed. [Video Below]
President Trump has unleased the power of the U.S. military against criminal drug cartels and narcotrafficking gangs. The current focus is in/around the waterways surrounding Venezuela, but the threat is now massive throughout the region.
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) and Rep. James Comer (R-KY) spoke to reporters and took questions after a House Oversight Committee meeting with victims of Jeffrey Epstein. Additionally, the House Oversight Committee released 34,000 documents connected to Jeffrey Epstein. WATCH:
WASHINGTON—Today, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform released 33,295 pages of Epstein-related records that were provided by the U.S. Department of Justice. On August 5, Chairman Comer issued a subpoena for records related to Mr. Jeffrey Epstein, and the Department of Justice has indicated it will continue producing those records while ensuring the redaction of victim identities and any child sexual abuse material.
