That's what we've all been wondering, and it's part of the discussion. She's gets a little defensive about the actual journalists doing investigative work but agrees they're not getting the resources from their corporate overlords that they need. Of course, we should all recognize that those who are consolidating media ownership are tied at the hip to other powerbrokers and this regime. Basically, there's a whole class of individuals, regardless of party, who all think they're above the law and can operate with impunity. It's nothing we don't already know, but a good discussion nonetheless.

2021 - Is inflation finally back in the conversation?

In case anyone missed it, Amanpour was on The Daily Show this past Monday and had a really interesting conversation with Stewart about the state of journalism as it relates to the Epstein Files. By my recollection, there's very little (if any) partisanship in the conversation. Instead, it's more about the power of journalism to uncover the truth, in general, and inform the public, specifically about who the brazen assholes are who were involved in the Epstein affair and think they're untouchable. 20 minutes. Good discussion.

Pretty sure I watched it a few years ago during the pandemic. This appears to be the documentary in full on YouTube, where I think I watched it.

I'm not sure, man. To be clear, I don't "subscribe" to PBS and the Midland transmitter is too far away to get it over-the-air, but my TV has a PBS app built into for streaming it on line (I don't have cable). But, at the moment, the entire series is available to me if I'd like to binge it. That said, I'm just watching one episode a night with the live stream. Do you have a laptop available to you to check there?

A few months ago, I came across this video about the American Revolution from the same guy who did that "Checkmate Lincolnites" one from a while back, if any of you recall it. It's a tad over 40 minutes, so be prepared for its length, but I find his discussion of not just the politics but also the economics fascinating, especially when contrasting the Puritans and merchant classes in New England (along with their history) against the landed gentry (i.e., planters and slave holders) in the South a worthy one to make. Anyway, there's more to it, but I think this makes for a nice complementary piece to last night's episode.

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/17/world/europe/poland-railway-explosion-sabotage-ukraine.html Saboteurs tried to “blow up a train” on a Polish railway that is important for delivering aid to Ukraine, Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on Monday after the authorities identified blast damage on tracks in the country’s east. “There is no doubt that we are dealing with an act of sabotage,” Mr. Tusk said in a video from the site of the blast, near the midpoint of a rail line between Warsaw, the capital, and Lublin, an eastern city close to the border with Ukraine. The explosion occurred Saturday evening. Residents in the area of the village Mika “reported hearing a blast,” Marcin Kierwinski, the interior minister, told reporters on Monday. Early Sunday, a train driver had reported a noticeable unevenness on the tracks. It was not clear who was responsible, or why the Polish authorities believed it was intended to take out a train. An “explosive device” destroyed the tracks, but no one was injured, Mr. Tusk said. The incident, which Mr. Tusk called “unprecedented,” comes during a period of high alert in Poland, which has been one of Ukraine’s strongest supporters since Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022. Although Poland did not directly implicate Russia in the railway blast, Moscow has been accused of various acts of sabotage and destabilization since the start of the Ukraine war. Mr. Tusk said that damage was also found on a different section of the same rail line, closer to Lublin, after what he said was an “attempt to destabilize and destroy the railway infrastructure, which could also have led to a train crash.” Polish officials mentioned two other rail incidents from the weekend that were separate from the blast — a damaged overhead cable that forced a train with 475 passengers to come to an abrupt stop on Sunday, and a stray piece of metal found attached to the track. But it was not clear which of the two Mr. Tusk was referencing. Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz, the Polish defense minister, said on social media that the military would inspect about 75 miles along the train track that leads to the Polish border with Ukraine. These disruptions come two months after NATO jets shot down a swarm of Russian drones in Polish airspace, in one of the most dramatic episodes in a series of Russian incursions in the skies over NATO member states and facilities. Also in September, Russian drones appeared over Romania and Russian jets crossed into Estonia, spiking anxiety across Europe.

Guardians Of Pedophiles

It seems this is new from last Thursday when the Epstein estate released them to Congress, but I could have misread this piece. The bolded below is what leads me to believe these are new, at least to the public. Gotta think the FBI had access to them, but, of course, Merrick Garland was horrible and ineffective in prosecuting cases. Epstein Alleged in Emails That Trump Knew of His Conduct In a message obtained by Congress, the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein wrote that Donald J. Trump spent hours at his house with one of Mr. Epstein’s victims. House Democrats on Wednesday released emails in which Jeffrey Epstein wrote that President Trump had “spent hours at my house” with one of Mr. Epstein’s victims, among other messages that suggested that the convicted sex offender believed Mr. Trump knew more about his abuse than he has acknowledged. Mr. Trump has emphatically denied any involvement in or knowledge of Mr. Epstein’s sex-trafficking operation. He has said that he and Mr. Epstein, the disgraced financier who died by suicide in federal prison in 2019, were once friendly but had a falling out. But Democrats on the House Oversight Committee said the emails, which they selected from thousands of pages of documents received by their panel, raised new questions about the relationship between the two men. In one of the messages, Mr. Epstein flatly asserted that Mr. Trump “knew about the girls,” many of whom were later found by investigators to have been underage. In another, Mr. Epstein pondered how to address questions from the news media about their relationship as Mr. Trump was becoming a national political figure. In a statement denouncing the release of the messages, Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, identified the victim mentioned in one of them as Virginia Giuffre, who died by suicide in April and had said that she did not think that Mr. Trump had participated in the sexual abuse of minors at Mr. Epstein’s home. “The fact remains that President Trump kicked Jeffrey Epstein out of his club decades ago for being a creep to his female employees, including Giuffre,” Ms. Leavitt said. “These stories are nothing more than bad-faith efforts to distract from President Trump’s historic accomplishments, and any American with common sense sees right through this hoax and clear distraction from the government opening back up again.” The messages are certain to inflame the debate on Capitol Hill over the Trump administration’s handling of the Epstein files, and top officials’ decision to backtrack on a promise to fully release them. That issue, which has split Republicans and alienated some of Mr. Trump’s right-wing supporters, had faded to the background as the government shutdown dragged on. But the House is set to return on Wednesday to clear legislation to end the shutdown, and attention is likely to shift back to the Epstein matter. “These latest emails and correspondence raise glaring questions about what else the White House is hiding and the nature of the relationship between Epstein and the president,” Representative Robert Garcia of California, the top Democrat on the Oversight Committee, said in a statement. The three separate email exchanges released on Wednesday were all from after Mr. Epstein’s 2008 plea deal in Florida on state charges of soliciting prostitution, in which federal prosecutors agreed not to pursue charges. They came years after Mr. Trump and Mr. Epstein had a reported falling out in the early 2000s. One was addressed to Mr. Epstein’s longtime confidante Ghislaine Maxwell, while two were with the author Michael Wolff. In one email from April 2011, Mr. Epstein told Ms. Maxwell, who was later convicted on charges related to facilitating his crimes, “I want you to realize that that dog that hasn’t barked is Trump.” He added that an unnamed victim “spent hours at my house with him ,, he has never once been mentioned.” “I have been thinking about that,” Ms. Maxwell wrote back. In an email from January 2019, Mr. Epstein wrote to Mr. Wolff of Mr. Trump: “Of course he knew about the girls as he asked Ghislaine to stop.” House Democrats, citing an unnamed whistle-blower, said this week that Ms. Maxwell was preparing to formally ask Mr. Trump to commute her federal prison sentence. The emails were provided to the Oversight Committee along with a larger tranche of documents from Mr. Epstein’s estate that the panel requested as part of its investigation into Mr. Epstein and Ms. Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence on sex-trafficking charges. The committee’s staff redacted victims’ names and any identifying information from the emails. Because the full set of documents has not been released, it was not clear whether the emails had been excerpted from larger conversations that might have provided fuller context. Republicans on the Oversight Committee accused Democrats of politicizing the investigation. “Democrats continue to carelessly cherry-pick documents to generate click bait that is not grounded in the facts,” a committee spokeswoman said. “The Epstein Estate has produced over 20,000 pages of documents on Thursday, yet Democrats are once again intentionally withholding records that name Democrat officials.” The Republicans, who have repeatedly cited their concern for protecting the identities of Mr. Epstein’s victims as a reason not to call for a full release of the administration’s files in the case, were the first on Wednesday to name Ms. Giuffre, whose name was redacted in the emails. Ms. Giuffre had said that Ms. Maxwell recruited her into Mr. Epstein’s sex ring while she was working at Mar-a-Lago, Mr. Trump’s private club and residence in Palm Beach, as a teenager. In a 2016 deposition for a civil case, Ms. Giuffre was asked if she believed Mr. Trump had witnessed the sexual abuse of minors in Mr. Epstein’s home. “I don’t think Donald Trump participated in anything,” she said. “I never saw or witnessed Donald Trump participate in those acts, but was he in the house of Jeffrey Epstein,” Ms. Giuffre added. “I’ve heard he has been, but I haven’t seen him myself so I don’t know.” Mr. Trump has called Mr. Epstein a “creep” and has insisted he never engaged in any wrongdoing with him or Ms. Maxwell. He has condemned the continued questions about his handling of the case as a “hoax” perpetrated by Democrats. Both Mr. Trump and Mr. Epstein split their time between New York and Palm Beach, Fla., and they were friends in the 1990s and early 2000s. Their relationship appeared to fizzle out around 2004, though Mr. Trump and those close to him have offered different accounts of why. By one account, they fell out after trying to outbid each other on a piece of Palm Beach real estate. Last summer, Mr. Trump said that Mr. Epstein had “hired” away spa attendants at Mar-a-Lago. He said that he had kicked Mr. Epstein out of his club, and that he believed one of the women was Ms. Giuffre. At the time Mr. Epstein emailed Ms. Maxwell in 2011 calling Mr. Trump the “dog that didn’t bark,” Mr. Trump was a reality television star and New York tabloid celebrity who was years away from becoming president. Around the same time, according to documents previously released by the Oversight Committee, Mr. Epstein was emailing staff members about negative press coverage he had recently received about the abuse that took place inside his home in Florida. Earlier this year, the Trump administration released the transcript of a courthouse interview with Ms. Maxwell, who acknowledged that Mr. Trump and Mr. Epstein had once had a social relationship, but denied any connection between Mr. Trump and the sex-trafficking ring. Mr. Epstein’s email from 2019, which claims Mr. Trump “knew about the girls” and asked Ms. Maxwell “to stop,” was sent to Mr. Wolff, who had recently written a tell-all book about the president. Mr. Epstein was months away from the arrest and federal charges that would send him to prison, but he was the focus of significant attention after The Miami Herald had published a series of articles drawing renewed attention to the secret agreement he had signed in 2008. In his email, Mr. Epstein mentioned a victim of his sex-trafficking operation. He also mentioned Mar-a-Lago, then disputed that Mr. Trump had ever asked him to resign from the club. “Never a member ever,” Mr. Epstein wrote. Mr. Wolff was also involved in a third email exchange, which began on Dec. 15, 2015, the night of a debate in the Republican presidential primary. Mr. Wolff emailed Mr. Epstein and warned him that CNN was “planning to ask Trump tonight about his relationship with you — either on air or in scrum afterwards.” Mr. Epstein wrote back, “If we were able to craft an answer for him, what do you think it should be?” Mr. Wolff advised inaction, suggesting that Mr. Trump might try to deny a close association with Mr. Epstein. “I think you should let him hang himself,” he wrote of Mr. Trump. “If he says he hasn’t been on the plane or to the house, then that gives you a valuable P.R. and political currency” that could be used to “hang him” later or “save him, generating a debt.” Mr. Trump never received a question about the matter in that debate, according to a transcript. It was unclear if he was asked about it separately. The Democrats’ release of the emails came hours before Speaker Mike Johnson was scheduled to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva, Democrat of Arizona, whom he has avoided seating for nearly two months since she won her election. She is expected to provide the final signature necessary on a petition to force a House vote on a measure demanding that the Trump administration release all of its investigative material pertaining to Mr. Epstein. The White House has strongly opposed the measure.
