A pretty good review of the new Epstein release

Scoop, ... 6 comments.

The steamiest gossip so far: Bill Gates got the clap from Russian hookers. According to an Epstein memo to himself, Bill Gates got STD’s from Russian prostitutes, and then asked Epstein for antibiotics that Bill could secretly give to Melinda without her noticing. (That entire memo is an entertaining read. Gates asked Epstein to delete all e-mails that described his penis!)

One document I am still waiting for: the U.S. Marshal’s office allegedly assembled a complete list of all the people who arrived and left from St. Thomas on Epstein’s plane. The only such logs I have seen have redacted every single name except Jeffrey Epstein!

Riding on the Epstein plane in general meant nothing. Rich dudes catch rides on each other’s private planes, or their companies’ planes, all the time. They avoid commercial transportation so they don’t have to hobnob with the hoi polloi (the insignificant, unanointed nobodies like you and me). If somebody rode on Epstein’s plane from Boston to Atlanta, it means absolutely nothing.

But anybody who went to or from St. Thomas on the Lolita Express was almost certainly going to Sex Island (Little St. James), which is a short chopper ride from St. Thomas. Taking this flight is what caused trouble for former Harvard president Larry Summers, as well as Prince Andrew.

A few notes on the Lindsay Halligan resignation

Scoop, ... 56 comments.

Her resignation followed a ruling by a Trump-appointed judge that was about as blistering as anything I have ever seen from a federal judge. He basically used proper reasoning and legalese to call Halligan a liar and an idiot!

1

Ms. Halligan’s Response asserts that she is free to act in an unlawful capacity, because she disagrees that she does so unlawfully. But that’s not how our legal system works.

2

Ms. Halligan has no legal basis to represent to this Court that she holds the position. And any such representation can only be described as a false statement made in direct defiance of valid court orders.

3

The Court recognizes that Ms. Halligan lacks the prosecutorial experience that has long been the norm for those nominated to the position of United States Attorney in this District. Consequently, and in light of her inexperience, the Court grants Ms. Halligan the benefit of the doubt and refrains from referring her for further investigation and disciplinary action regarding her misrepresentations to this Court at this time. However, this Memorandum Order provides notice that, should Ms. Halligan persist in ignoring Judge Currie’s Orders and this Memorandum Order in any matter before the undersigned, the Court will initiate disciplinary proceedings against Ms. Halligan and any other signatory to an offending pleading pursuant to Federal Rule of Disciplinary Enforcement V(A).

Here is what all that means in laymen’s language:

Part 1. Disagreeing with a law doesn’t give you permission to break it. Children know that.

Part 2. By using the title in defiance of a court order, Halligan has been lying to the courts.

Part 3. I’m not going to hold Halligan liable for perjury or recommend that she be disbarred, because she’s obviously too ignorant to know how to conduct herself in court, but this ruling remedies her ignorance. If she does this again, she will be disciplined. This also applies to any other official who co-signs a document where she misrepresents herself. (In other words, if Bondi and/or Blanche also sign off on her perjurious claim, the courts will go full Giuliani on their asses.)

Donald Trump actually shared this on Truth Social

To be completely fair, he is already the greatest president in the history of Venezuela.

He is now the second American to be president of two countries. If I remember right, the adventurer William Walker was the President of two different nations: Nicaragua, and the short-lived Republic of Lower California.

He wanted to create a new type of society organized by race and caste and dominated by white supremacy.

To clarify, that is a quote about Walker.

These were Abraham Lincoln’s last words

Not sure why I became curious about this- maybe this thread.

One of the following represents the final words Honest Abe spoke to his Mary:

1. Suddenly I have a great headache. Man, that shit hurts.

2. As much as I dread death with so much left to accomplish, even death is more welcome than having to sit through the rest of this fucking play.

3. After all the work I did to save this union, and all I need to do to rebuild it, it’s now in the hands of that asshole, Johnson.

4. There is no city on earth I so much desire to see as Jerusalem.

5. She won’t think anything about it.

There doesn’t seems to be complete agreement on this. It is either 4 or 5. Number five seems more likely.

Dedee Pfeiffer and Carol Alt topless in Deadly Past (1995)

Scoop, ... 8 comments.

We may be through with the 90s, but the 90s are not through with us.

Low-budget noir from the hyphen world (straight-to-video or made-for-cable).

A reformed convict is now on parole, working at a local bar, and living happily with his girlfriend (Dedee), until his glamorous ex-girlfriend (Carol Alt) reappears on the scene and manipulates him into a criminal scheme. As usual in the genre, there is more than meets the eye.

I watched this film because Carol Alt and Dedee Pfieffer didn’t do much film nudity elsewhere, but I regret to report that the sex scenes are as dull and unimaginative as the rest of the film. Dedee’s scene is especially disappointing

That said, I’ll take another look at it if it ever comes out in HD.

One-of-a-Kind Historical Photos Worth Learning About

Scoop, ... 14 comments.

I really enjoyed this gallery. I was curious about the picture of the Klansmen riding the Ferris Wheel.

Here is the story:

In April 1926, dozens of Ku Klux Klan members in Cañon City, Colorado walked down Main Street and enjoyed some fun and frivolity on the Ferris wheel set up by a traveling carnival. There they posed for a photo at the carnival owner’s insistence and a story about it appeared on the front page of the local newspaper the next day. At the time, the Klan were one of the most popular groups in America and free to conduct their business in the open with the government’s blessing. Local Klansman’s children were even known to write “KKK” on their school uniforms and call themselves the Ku Klux Kids.

I found out in researching this that Colorado was a hotbed of Kan activity, and had the second-largest Klan contingent among the states. I didn’t expect that.

In Colorado, the Klan held significant political power in the mid-1920s, with a Klansman serving as governor (Clarence Morley) and another as Denver’s mayor (Benjamin Stapleton). History Colorado has digitized extensive records of Klan membership ledgers from this period, which are available to the public for research.

#1 also surprised me: Indiana.
