During a recent segment on CNN, Scott Jennings – the lone conservative voice on the entire network – suggested that for Democrats, the Epstein Files are the new Steele Dossier.

This is exactly right. You could also say that the Epstein Files are the new Russia Collusion.

It’s nothing more than the new thing for the left to obsess about and spread dirty disinformation about, in their latest effort to ‘get’ Trump.

They have nothing new. They just keep going after whatever shiny object is in front of them at the time.

The Daily Caller has details:

Speaking during a panel discussion on “The Arena,” Jennings said the Epstein records should be released in accordance with the law Congress passed. He warned against what he called a coordinated effort to smear President Donald Trump by selectively citing names that appear in the documents.

“You have Democrat after Democrat after Democrat, even Hillary Clinton just a little while ago, all too happy to go on television and cast aspersions on his [Trump’s] character, using this idea that while his name appears in the files, they’re trying to mislead the American people,” Jennings said. “It’s the Steele dossier all over again. That’s all this is. Let’s throw out something and hope it sticks, even though there’s no evidence whatsoever.”

“If the files can be released, and they should be released according to the law that Congress passed, they should do that. Now, I know they have a process for going through these documents, and it’s weeding out things that are duplicative or not germane. And, as was explained yesterday, here, there are files all over the country, apparently, and they’re still collecting them. So I get the process may be a little more onerous than perhaps many people know regarding Trump,” Jennings said.

Jennings goes on to point out that Trump was even an Epstein whistleblower, a fact that Democrats love to overlook.

If the Epstein Files and everything associated with them suddenly disappeared and no one had ever heard of them, Democrats would be trying to use something else to the same ends. They still have not gotten over losing to Trump and they never will.

During a recent interview with Jen Psaki of MSNOW, California Governor Gavin Newsom was asked about the 2028 election and said that Vice President J.D. Vance scares him more than President Trump.

This is as predictable as the rising sun.

For Democrats, the current Republican is always worse than the last one. Once a Republican is out of power and no longer represents a threat to their election prospects, they are suddenly the ‘reasonable’ Republican. It happens again and again.

Just look at all the people on the left who are suddenly OK with George W. Bush and Mitt Romney. They were both ‘worse than Hitler’ when they presented a threat to Democrats. This is no different.

The Hill reports:

Newsom: Vance ‘scares me … almost more than Trump’

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) shared his trepidation about Vice President Vance in a recent interview with MS NOW, describing him as “dangerous.”

“Vance, for whatever reason, scares me, almost more than Trump,” the Democratic governor told host Jen Psaki. “I mean, talk about a guy who put a mask on and his face grew into it.”

Newsom called Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio “frauds” and “phonies” for reversing their previous criticisms of the president.

“But JD is a unique fraud and phony, and he’s a little more dangerous,” Newsom said.

Newsom, who is widely seen as a top potential Democratic contender in the 2028 presidential race, has staunchly opposed the Trump administration’s policies.

In the MS NOW interview, which was recorded a day after Trump’s State of the Union address, the governor expressed particular concerns about the possibility of Trump seeking a third term in office and issued a “code red” about the state of election security in America.

Here’s the video:

Marco Rubio is a complete fraud. But no one tops JD Vance. Talk about a guy who put a mask on his face and grew into it. Pathetic. pic.twitter.com/fNbTEYJY4z

This is all about the 2028 election, of course. In case you somehow haven’t noticed, Gavin Newsom is everywhere right now, doing interviews, holding public meetings with various people and groups.

He is trying to embed himself in the minds of voters, especially Democrat voters, to see him as an inevitability.

The truth is that he is a total snake who has done massive harm to the state of California. Given his performance on rebuilding after the wildfires from last year, it’s a miracle that he still has a job.

Bill O’Reilly thinks TDS suffering actor Robert De Niro deserves to be interrogated by the U.S. Secret Service over comments he made about Trump during a recent interview with MSNOW’s Nicolle Wallace.

During the segment, De Niro repeatedly said “We got to get rid of him.” O’Reilly notes that he said it three times and that Wallace did not follow up by asking what he meant by it, to no one’s surprise.

O’Reilly suggests that given the heightened threat level with Trump that the Secret Service should ‘make an example’ out of the far left actor.

The Daily Caller details what De Niro said in the interview:

Actor Robert De Niro said three times on Monday’s edition of “The Best People with Nicolle Wallace” that it was necessary to “get rid of” President Donald Trump.

The podcast release followed U.S. Secret Service agents shooting and killing a man attempting to force his way into Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida on Sunday. De Niro also claimed on the podcast that “Trump is the enemy of this country” and would refuse to ever leave the White House.

“He won’t leave. Let’s not kid ourselves,” De Niro said. “He will not leave. It’s up to us to get rid of him.”

De Niro doubled down on his rhetoric just one minute later.

“He’s an idiot. We got to get rid of him,” he said. “He’s gonna ruin the country — everything that this country has worked for, represents. He is ruining it and it’s right before your eyes.”

Here’s O’Reilly’s reaction:

NEW: @BillOReilly says Secret Service should pull in Robert De Niro for “INTENSIVE INTERROGATION” over *repeatedly* calling to “GET RID OF” Trump

O’Reilly is right about this.

We all know how De Niro would react. Just like Kimmel, he would cry that his free speech rights were being infringed upon, but threats are not a form of free speech.

De Niro should suffer consequences for this.

Pretty much everyone has had it with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, according to new polling from Marist. The numbers reflect an all-time low for the New York lawmaker.

It’s no surprise why this is happening. Schumer is like the ‘Penguin’ from Batman, but with none of the humor or charm.

Since the 2024 election, Schumer has offered the American people nothing but objections, protest, and rage. Like the rest of his party, his positions come down to opposing Trump. Nothing more.

PJ Media has details:

New Yorkers Turn on Chuck Schumer (Finally) in Brutal Survey

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) has reached the lowest job approval of his Senate career. The latest Marist Poll shows just 27% of New York voters rank his performance as excellent or good, while 65% rate it as fair or poor.

Senator Chuck Schumer’s job approval rating has reached an all-time low. Slightly more than one in four registered voters statewide (27%) think Schumer is either doing an excellent (8%) or good (19%) job in office. Nearly two-in-three voters (65%) say he is doing either a fair (24%) or poor job (41%). Schumer’s approval score is down from 34% last year and is his lowest ever since being tracked in 1999.

While there has been a slight increase in the proportion of Democrats who have a negative view of Schumer’s job performance (50% from 46% previously), the largest shift has occurred among Republicans. 84% say Schumer is doing either a fair or poor job in office, up from 69% previously. Among non-enrolled voters, 65% now say he is doing either a fair or poor job compared with 62% last year.

Those numbers represent the worst he’s posted since entering the Senate in 1999. Even a year ago, his approval rating had dropped 34 points, illustrating a stunning fall for a politician who’s spent over a quarter-century consolidating power in Washington.

Schumer has been on this trajectory for a while now. This is from January:

BRUTAL new CNN poll finds Chuck Schumer is the most UNPOPULAR Democrat leader in 40 YEARS!

Like so many other members of the Senate, Schumer should have retired years ago. They’re just so addicted to power.

Woke Rep. Seth Moulton, a Massachusetts Democrat, invited 19-year-old Brazilian-born immigrant Marcelo Gomes da Silva, who was previously detained by ICE after his student visa expired, to attend President Donald Trump’s 2026 State of the Union address as his guest. Gomes took his seat in the House visitors’ gallery, seemingly used as a political prop.

Midway through Trump’s speech, however, the Department of Homeland Security posted on X that Moulton was “planning to bring illegal alien Marcelo Gomes da Silva” and declared that he “has no right to be in our nation” and is subject to arrest and removal, echoing an earlier DHS message accusing Democrats of “planning to bring illegal aliens as guests to the State of the Union” and “putting illegal aliens above the safety of American citizens.” After seeing the post and noting the heavy law-enforcement presence in the chamber, Moulton’s chief of staff Neesha (also reported as Nisha) Suarez quietly escorted Gomes out of the gallery “out of an abundance of caution” and brought him back to the congressman’s office.
​
From there, the “special guest” watched the remainder of the address on television. Moulton has said he invited Gomes because he sees him as exactly the kind of young person the United States should be investing in, while DHS officials have insisted in interviews and statements that Gomes “is still an illegal alien and subject to removal proceedings.”

The clash unfolded against a broader backdrop in which several Democratic lawmakers — including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, Rep. Ilhan Omar, Sen. Dick Durbin, Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, Rep. Mike Levin, Sen. John Hickenlooper and Rep. Robert Menendez Jr. — invited so-called “immigrants” caught up in enforcement operations or lacking legal status as their State of the Union guests, prompting DHS to circulate lists of what it called “illegal aliens” among their invitees. Conservative outlets and X accounts amplified DHS’s language, highlighting the agency’s claim that Democrats were favoring “illegal aliens” over public safety and praising the administration’s vow that such immigrants would be found, arrested and “never return.”

I hope that every American has someone in their life who loves them the way that Democrats in Congress love those who violate America’s immigration laws.

The Gateway Pundit reported,

A Democrat member of Congress spat in the face of law enforcement earlier this week by not only bringing an illegal alien to the State of the Union speech, but also helping him evade capture.

Before the speech, far-left Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) decided to invite a teenage illegal alien named Marcelo Gomes DaSilva. As CBS notes, Gomes da Silva was detained for several days last May because his student visa had expired and he was in the country illegally.

While Moulton was not the only Democrat to invite an illegal, he and his staff went a step further than his colleagues in making a mockery of the law.

As MSNBC notes, Moulton’s chief of staff, Neesha Suarez, noticed the DHS tweet and took action.

Worried about Gomes being arrested and deported, she helped him evade potential trouble by escorting him out of the chamber. The Boston Globe reported there was a heavy law enforcement presence in the House gallery.

The Congressman may want to familiarize himself with the laws about harboring illegal aliens:

Title 8, U.S.C. § 1324(a) defines several distinct offenses related to aliens. Subsection 1324(a)(1)(i)-(v) prohibits alien smuggling, domestic transportation of unauthorized aliens, concealing or harboring unauthorized aliens, encouraging or inducing unauthorized aliens to enter the United States, and engaging in a conspiracy or aiding and abetting any of the preceding acts.

Harboring — Subsection 1324(a)(1)(A)(iii) makes it an offense for any person who — knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has come to, entered, or remains in the United States in violation of law, conceals harbors, or shields from detection, or attempts to conceal, harbor, or shield from detection, such alien in any place, including any building or any means of transportation.

How much more obvious could Democrats in Congress possibly make it that they do not value American citizens? Their top priority is protecting illegal aliens from far corners of the globe and ensuring that your hard earned tax dollars pay for them.

Woke retail giant Target Corp. has reportedly shelled out a jaw-dropping $110 million just to walk away from its massive office space in downtown Minneapolis.

The move marks a final, desperate retreat from the 51-story City Center tower, where the company once occupied nearly one million square feet of prime real estate.

Rather than waiting out a lease set to expire in 2031, Target chose to cut a massive check to wash its hands of the property.

The Star Tribune reported:

After moving out of nearly a million square feet of office space in downtown Minneapolis’ City Center building five years ago, Target paid almost $110 million last month to officially break its lease that ran through 2031.

Now the owner of the 51-story tower at 33 S. 6th St. — an entity tied to South Korean conglomerate Samsung — is preparing to list the property for sale, according to a Feb. 2 loan servicer report.

[…]

The Minneapolis-based retailer has continued to pay rent for the offices as they sat dark, making City Center a symbol of the challenges and uncertainties facing a downtown that relied heavily on its white-collar commuter crowds.

Target did try to sublet the space but didn’t have much luck beyond law firm Fox Rothschild moving into about 40,000 square feet of offices in 2022.

A spokesman for Target declined to comment on the lease-ending agreement but emphasized the company’s commitment to downtown Minneapolis as its second-largest employer. The retailer had been the biggest employer in the area for years until Hennepin Healthcare took the spot in 2024. Last summer, Target called its largest corporate unit back to the office three days a week and consolidated employees into other downtown properties near its Nicollet Mall headquarters.

Several other downtown office towers have sold in recent years, many at deep discounts as they grappled with high vacancies, maturing loans, rising borrowing costs and leery lenders.

Minneapolis, which became the national epicenter of radical “Defund the Police” rhetoric and unrest following the 2020 riots, has struggled to regain its footing.

While Target executives publicly tout “hybrid work models,” the reality on the ground is much grimmer. The City Center building has sat largely dark for years, a towering monument to the failed policies of the radical left that have turned downtown into a ghost town of vacant storefronts and rising crime.

The $110 million exit fee is one of the largest lease buyouts in the history of the Twin Cities, and it comes at a time when Target is already under fire from all sides.

This massive financial hit follows a disastrous period for the retailer, which has seen its brand identity shattered by “woke” marketing campaigns and aggressive DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) initiatives that alienated its core customer base.

New CEO Michael Fiddelke took the helm amid a firestorm of controversy. Fiddelke, one of a group of Minnesota CEOs begging for “de-escalation” after recent federal immigration enforcement actions in the state, now oversees a company in retreat.

It can be recalled that multiple Target stores across Minnesota and in other states were targeted by protesters with demands for Target’s corporate leadership to prevent Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents from being allowed in Target stores to arrest criminals.

Video from a Target location in Richfield, Minnesota, shows reportedly over 100 protesters illegally marching through the store, chanting, “The people united will never be defeated,” while holding a Socialist Alternative banner that read, “National Strike Shut Down Trump & ICE.”

Local police were at the scene but refused to do anything as the anti-ICE protesters berated them and called for Target to be shut down.

Not only is Target fleeing its namesake downtown, but the company recently announced it is slashing 500 jobs and reshuffling its entire leadership team in a desperate bid to “move with speed” as sales continue to slump.

On Thursday afternoon, Hillary Clinton held an impromptu presser after she finished her testimony on Epstein.

Hillary Clinton testified before the House Oversight Committee over her connections to deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

After the testimony, a reporter asked Hillary Clinton about the photos of her husband Bill Clinton with alleged Epstein sex-trafficking victims.

The Justice Department in December released a new batch of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s sex-trafficking cases.

The trove of documents was released after a federal judge in New York recently ordered the release of Jeffrey Epstein documents related to a 2019 sex trafficking case.

President Trump recently signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act into law to release all files related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.

The new trove of documents includes never-before-seen photos of Bill Clinton in a hot tub, swimming with a mystery woman.

The individual’s face was redacted which means she is either a sex-trafficking victim and or a minor.

Slick Willie was photographed relaxing in the hot tub with an Epstein sex-trafficking victim.

A reporter asked Hillary Clinton about the photos of Bill Clinton with alleged Epstein trafficking victims.

“Your husband, Bill Clinton, is referenced in the Epstein files numerous times, including in some photos featuring women,” a reporter asked Hillary Clinton.

Hillary echoed her previous statements on her husband’s connection to Epstein.

“I think the chronology of the connection that he had with Epstein ended several years before anything about Epstein’s criminal activities came to life,” Clinton said.

New details have emerged regarding the accused killer of Caltech astrophysicist Carl Grillmair.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, astrophysicist Carl Grillmair, 67, was shot in his torso by a gunman who approached him on his porch on February 16.

Authorities have since arrested Freddy Snyder, 29, who has been charged with Grillmair’s murder and is being held on a $3 million bail.

New details obtained by the Los Angeles Times have revealed that Snyder was previously arrested two months earlier for trespassing on Grillmair’s property with a loaded, unregistered rifle.

Per The Los Angeles Times:

On Dec. 20, Lt. Michael Modica of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said, the scientist spotted someone possibly trespassing on his property and called law enforcement.

When deputies arrived and found Snyder in the area, Modica said, he was carrying a rifle and explained that he was on his way to the post office.

Grillmair’s home and the local post office are in opposite directions from Snyder’s home, property records show.

According to the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office, Snyder told deputies he was carrying the rifle just in case he ran into wild animals. But deputies noted that the rifle was loaded and not registered to Snyder, so they took him into custody.

In addition to one felony count of carrying a loaded firearm, the criminal complaint against Snyder charged him with trying to escape from the Palmdale station jail the day after he was arrested.

The New York Post further reported that Judge Osman Abbasi, appointed by Governor Gavin Newsom, dismissed Snyder’s felony gun charges.

— California Post (@californiapost) February 24, 2026

After dropping the felony gun charge, Judge Abbasi ordered Snyder to complete a gun safety course, and he was released from jail shortly thereafter.

Snyder was scheduled to appear in court again on February 5 regarding his case, but he did not show up for the hearing.

Despite not appearing, Snyder’s charges were dismissed under California Penal Code 1385, and just 11 days later, he allegedly murdered Grillmair.

Grillmair’s murder has rocked the astrophysicists’ community, considering he was a renowned researcher in the studies of Dark matter, Galactic structure, stellar populations, and exoplanets.

Grillmair was also notable in the community for finding water on a distant planet orbiting a star.
