Freed Oath Keepers Founder Warns Trump Over Epstein Cover-Up excerpt: “I believe 90% of his own base understands that Epstein was up to something and we know that’s the tip of the iceberg,” Stewart Rhodes told a gathering at the Comfort Inn in Granville , TX, late last week, the Daily Beast has learned. “It’s really disheartening to see President Trump just declare that to be a hoax. I don’t think it is. And I think it’s going to cause him trouble in his own base. It already is.”
Freed Oath Keepers Founder Warns Trump Over Epstein Cover-Up excerpt: Rhodes said he still believes that Trump owed his survival at the Butler, Pa. rally last year to divine intervention. “I just sincerely hope that he keeps in mind that God saved him for a purpose.,” Rhodes said. “That purpose is to defeat the deep state. It’s not to make great trade deals. It’s not to have a great economy. It’s not any of that stuff. The real heart and soul of it is to defeat the deep state. Because if he doesn’t do that it’s going to be exponentially worse for all of us.”

Trump’s endless toying with conspiracy theories has finally come back to bite him The president has long exploited useful fictions embraced by his supporters. Now he’s trying to change the narrative Moira Donegan Fri 18 Jul 2025 10.00 EDT Trump’s endless toying with conspiracy theories has finally come back to bite him | Moira Donegan
Trump’s endless toying with conspiracy theories has finally come back to bite him | Moira Donegan excerpt: "Pizzagate, as it was called, gave way to QAnon, the elaborate mass delirium in which Trump supporters believed that they were receiving secret messages from Q, a fictitious but supposedly highly placed security official. QAnon, too, centered around the notion that powerful people – Democrats, mostly, but also some Hollywood celebrities – were secretly running a vast pedophile network. In his dispatches, Q detailed Trump’s efforts to dismantle a deep state ring of child sex trafficking. None of that was true, either, but that didn’t stop thousands from believing in it. Trump exploited these fictions, nodding to them deliberately with varying degrees of enthusiasm and plausible deniability. They were useful to him, stories in which he was a hero, and his political opponents were maximally morally repulsive. The conspiracies helped paper over the gap between the near-messianic esteem in which Trump’s followers hold him, and the shambolic, incompetent and often cruelly sadistic character of his actual administration. And the content of the stories – dealing as they did in secrecy, power, helpless innocents and forbidden sex – made them potent tools, igniting the fiercest passions and darkest imaginations of his fans."
Trump Admin Prepares to Kick Mixed Immigration Status Families Out of Public Housing excerpt: "Last Wednesday, the Trump administration posted a proposed rule for the Department of Housing and Urban Development to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, or OIRA. While details were scant on the website, the language mirrors an abandoned 2019 proposal that would have increased documentation requirements for federal housing assistance — and likely forced tens of thousands of mixed-status families to choose between homelessness, financial ruin, or family separation."
Obama pushes back on Trump's 'outrageous' and 'bizarre' treason claim excerpt: When reporters on Tuesday asked Trump about the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, he pivoted to what he called Obama's "criminality." “After what they did to me — and whether it’s right or wrong, it’s time to go after people. Obama’s been caught directly,” Trump told reporters. “What they did in 2016 and 2020 is very criminal. It’s criminal at the highest level. So that’s really the things you should be talking about.” “Look, he’s guilty. It’s not a question,” Trump added. “This was treason. This was every word you can think of. They tried to steal the election. They tried to obfuscate the election.”
Kilmar Abrego Garcia lawyers ask court to silence Trump admin after Kristi Noem called him a 'monster' excerpt: On July 18, Noem held a press conference in Nashville announcing recent arrests of "criminal illegal aliens," where she made comments about Abrego’s case. "He has a lifetime history of trafficking individuals and of taking advantage of minors, soliciting pornography from them, nude photos of them, abusing his wife, abusing other illegals, aliens that were in this country, women that were under his care while he was trafficking them," Noem said. "He’s a horrible human being and a monster, and he should never be released free."

Trump furious that he can't change the channel to something other than Epstein. This week he has tried the MLK Jr. files and has accused Obama of treason. ‘POTUS is clearly furious’: White House is frustrated by all-consuming Epstein coverage - POLITICO excerpt: "The frustration stems, in part, from an understanding that this is “a vulnerability,” said a White House ally. Trump has famously had his finger on the pulse of the Republican base for more than a decade but has, for now, lost the ability to dominate the narrative. That threatens to undermine the momentum and sense of invincibility the GOP felt at the beginning of the month when they were getting ready to boast about a slew of new tax cuts and border funding as their opening pitch to voters ahead of the 2026 midterms."
