DOJ releases Epstein files with accusations against Trump Over the course of four interviews in 2019, a woman told the FBI that Epstein and Trump sexually abused her in the 1980s.

β€œA DOJ source told the Miami Herald that agents found her to be credibleβ€”and that they would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying.”

Imagine viewing this and concluding that academic Gender Studies is no longer relevant as a field of inquiry.

Trump is burning through taxpayer dollars on wars just like he burned through his father’s money in the 80s.

And some things that should not have been forgotten were lost. History became legend. Legend became myth.

No American need be dissuaded from disgust because we killed 175 schoolgirls in a wartime airstrike gone awry. But this isn't our worst in Iran. For those who don't remember, google Flight 655 and July 3, 1988. That was 290 innocent people. There was no war. And our president refused to apologize.

Donald Rumsfeld on Iraq (2003): "It could last six days, six weeks. I double six months."

Donald Trump on Iran (2026): "It'll take four weeks, or less."
