US Politics

President Trump posted on Truth Social, calling the Jeffrey Epstein files a “Democrat hoax” comparable to the Steele dossier, and urged MAGA supporters to shift their attention elsewhere, asserting that “no one cares about Epstein.” This post received notable attention on the platform, reportedly garnering more comments than likes, a record for Trump’s account. George Conway and others further noted that Trump’s supporters criticized him on Truth Social over this stance. Elon Musk also publicly questioned Trump’s apparent reversal, referencing Trump’s earlier promise to release the files. Additionally, the mainstream media reported a split among MAGA voters, with some expressing disillusionment over Trump’s dismissal of the issue.

Additionally, author Michael Wolff claimed that the FBI possesses Polaroids from Epstein’s safe depicting Trump with topless girls by a pool, alleging he witnessed these images firsthand. Trump’s legal team and Donald Trump Jr. have denied these claims, labeling them as baseless and a political smear.

On the legislative side, Rep. Ro Khanna announced plans to introduce an amendment to force a vote for the full release of the Epstein files, aiming to put every member of Congress on record. Some lawmakers, as reported by The Hill, have raised concerns that such a release could compromise ongoing investigations. Additionally, House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Jamie Raskin has called for a hearing to subpoena Bondi, Kash Patel, and Dan Bongino regarding their knowledge of the files, as reported by Leading Report. Pam Bondi has criticized the subpoena as a political witch hunt, according to Fox News.

Economy

Mike Maloney predicts a potential $10 surge in silver prices to $48 per ounce, citing supply-demand imbalances and historical trends, and suggested prices could climb higher due to ongoing deficits and currency creation. Meanwhile, a reported dump of 483 million ounces of silver occurred within a single hour, an action described on X as an attempt to halt a price breakout, leaving the short position at a loss. Conversely, Bloomberg noted that such large trades are not uncommon and may reflect normal market fluctuations rather than manipulation.

Health

Attorney General Pamela Bondi announced that charges against Dr. Kirk Moore have been dismissed. Bondi stated on the platform that Moore offered patients a choice when the federal government did not, a decision that spared him years in prison. However, critics such as Public Health Watchdog have expressed concern that this dismissal could set a dangerous precedent by allowing medical professionals to bypass federal guidelines, emphasizing the need for public safety protocols.

Geopolitics

The 17th BRICS summit in Rio de Janeiro highlighted shifts in global dynamics, as reported by Farhad Ibragimov. Russia’s Vladimir Putin and Sergey Lavrov emphasized the growing economic and political influence of the Global South during the event. The summit resulted in 126 commitments across areas such as finance, climate, and AI, with a focus on financial sovereignty through national currency transactions as an alternative to Western systems. The group also issued a statement condemning reported Ukrainian attacks on Russian civilian infrastructure in 2025. In response, President Trump announced a potential 10% tariff on BRICS imports, a move interpreted by some analysts as reflecting Western concerns over the bloc’s increasing influence and alternative economic frameworks. Trump further criticized the bloc, accusing it of attempting to “degenerate the dollar,” highlighting tensions over economic hegemony.

Technology & the Envirnoment

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe reached a milestone by approaching within 3.8 million miles of the Sun, capturing detailed images of its atmosphere during a flyby on December 24, 2024. The probe’s instruments, including the Wide-Field Imager for Solar Probe (WISPR), documented phenomena such as colliding coronal mass ejections and magnetic field switchbacks, shedding light on the origins of solar wind—charged particles traveling over 1 million miles per hour. Scientists from NASA and Johns Hopkins stated that these findings provide new insights into space weather and its potential threats to Earth’s technology and astronauts. The mission will continue with additional orbits, including one scheduled for September 15, 2025, to further study mysteries like the slow solar wind’s escape from the Sun’s gravity. However, as noted by Space.com, challenges remain in fully understanding slow solar wind dynamics, with more research needed for definitive conclusions.

Somewhat relatedly, a large Earth-facing coronal hole was expected to impact the planet, with solar wind streams potentially triggering geomagnetic activity, including storms and auroras, according to Ben Davidson of Space Weather News and Solarham. Such events could disrupt satellites, GPS, and power grids, with experts noting that a Carrington-class event could pose significant risks. The European Space Agency cautioned that preliminary data suggested only a moderate impact, though they remain vigilant.

Dr Paul Craig Roberts take on the Epstein fiasco.

Excerpt: “As Epstein was murdered to keep him quiet, it was obvious no files would be released. AG Bondi said she had the files and videos and was going through them. But then the men in black paid a visit, and suddenly there were no files. Moreover, the authorities concluded that Epstein committed suicide in his prison cell. So we are left with the puzzle, there is no evidence that Epstein did anything wrong, so he committed suicide for no reason. If Epstein had no client list, to whom was he trafficking the minors? The stink is so strong that Dan Bongino, the deputy director of the FBI, is reportedly considering resigning.”

Martin Armstrong posted this on his website regarding the Deep State and adds more fuel to the fire that we are looking at a conspiracy coverup.

I can imagine Rep. Khanna being taken aside and told:

“Uh, Ro, it seems that Bill and Barack would appreciate it if you would withdraw this bill. You know, it is old news and the country has more important things to attend to. Oh, and, by the way, withdrawing the bill just might encourage some wealthy folks to contribute to your re-election campaign. I am sure you understand.”
