Epstein Probably Committed Suicide

      The supposed suicide of Jeffery Epstein has fanned the speculation of a cover-up across the entire ideological spectrum. Epstein, an uber wealthy financial expert, had hired nubile young women for sexual favors and proceeded to invite the wealthy and powerful to indulge in his bacchanalias. Many powerful men consider the sexual favors of young women to be a divine right and expect society to look the other way when caught. But the political winds have changed and these men were about to be exposed, humiliated and even bankrupted.       What follows is my attempt to look at published reports objectively and give my medical opinion. Having done so, I have concluded Epstein’s death was a suicide by hanging.       Before looking at the specifics of Epstein’s case, let’s examine why those who are hanged die. There are basically three causes: a broken neck that abruptly stops breathing, strangulation, and lack of oxygen to the brain.       Hanging was used in the past as a form of execution. Gallows were built prior to the event. This was a … [Read more...]

Activist Judges are the Source of America’s Discontent

       With the stock market at record highs, the economy humming along and no involvement in major wars, one would think America would be content. We are not. Why?       It is because America’s elite believe that public policy should be determined by judges, not elected representatives. President Trump viscerally grasped the power of this issue early in his campaign. This non-religious, twice-divorced, well-known Playboy galvanized a large portion of the Republican base – religious conservatives – by promising to appoint judges who interpret the law rather than invent it. He even listed the names of well-known conservative judges that he would appoint. Since his election, he has scrupulously kept this promise, with two conservative Supreme Court choices and 142 federal judge appointees.       But the media, the Democrats, the academic community and the tech oligarchs are livid with President Trump for his success in this area. In their view, many of America’s injustices to women, the poor, minorities and the sexually avant garde are due to what they perceive to be an … [Read more...]

Jim Himes’ call for an Impeachment Inquiry is a Scam

      Congressman Jim Himes, who represents Fairfield County Connecticut, has publicly requested that an impeachment inquiry begin on President Trump. This is an obvious scam, since the Democrats have no intention of impeaching the President. They are merely trying to mollify their rabid base to avoid primary challenges.       According to Congressman Himes: “The time has come for the House of Representatives to begin an impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump. From the moment of his inauguration, this President has shown contempt for the truth, has attacked our institutions, and has ignored the Constitution he swore to defend. He has refused the oversight which is Congress’ long-established right and duty. In recent weeks, he has refused to comply with subpoenas, he has ordered administration officials to refuse to testify, and he has asserted executive privilege of unprecedented scope with respect to attempts to alter the census.       The President attacks our free press, threatens to jail his political opponents and attacks courts and judges when they challenge … [Read more...]
