Does Donald Trump have Jeffrey Epstein’s list of clients? The Deep State, Bureaucracy, Swamp, Administrative State, Military-Industrial Complex, Democrats, Media, Establishment Republicans, and crew are acting like Trump is Satan incarnate. At this point their loathing seems overwrought, to understate it. Every norm is being thrown out for a man who governed in a perfunctory way. At first, the hysteria seemed just like partisan hyperventilating. Now, the actions are shrill hysteria. Only one thing causes this kind of collective freakout in Washington, D.C.: fear. What about Donald Trump makes these people so afraid? Thus, I return to my first question:...

What was even more peculiar was that Joe's hands magically passed through the microphones.

He also doubted whether human contact would have much value anyway, when his mathematical models could already tell me everything I needed to know. But he had to leave his office sometime. (“One way you know I am Russian is that I cannot think sitting down,” he told me. “I have to go...

White House counselor Kellyanne Conway suggested Wednesday that President Donald Trump might postpone his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention due to concerns about Hurricane Laura’s potentially devastating impact on the Gulf Coast.

FNN Exclusive: FNN has learned that the Administration has "disappeared" 663,000 workers. Most of these are believed to be white males between 40 and 55 years of age. Fear is running through the families and survivors of the German Holocaust and Russian Gulag. They have stated that the "disappearances" are very similar to what happened to them. In the middle of the night, a knock at the door, and they were "disappeared". Others, who have seen the movie Soylent Green, are especially frightened at the disappearances. The discovery of "red slime" in processed meat is deemed not to be a...
