But the roar was never for her, it was for Trump.. And when he turned it against her, she learned the eternal rule: demagogue's followers don't choose enemies, their leader does... Marjorie Taylor Greene has been dissed and ridiculed by the Left for years. Progressives mocked her lies, shredded her conspiracies, exposed her QAnon nonsense, and denounced her cruelty. And through it all she never once feared for her life. She fundraised. She smirked. She gave speeches, traveled the country, and strutted through Congress like she owned the place. But the second she angered the Republican base, barely forty-eight hours after she resisted Donald Trump's demands and broke from the MAGA line, she suddenly feared for her life and needed private security.

How a single predator exposed a centuries-old system built to shield wealthy white men from accountability and forced the country to confront a truth its institutions have long concealed... The Jeffrey Epstein scandal stripped away the polite fiction that wealthy white men in America are held to the same standards as everyone else. Epstein wasn't an exception. He was the rule, laid bare.

I was twenty-two in 1973 and had just started an herbal tea company when I became entranced by the business self-help movement. Louise and I listened to Earl Nightingale tapes in the car when we’d take weekend two-hour drives up to my grandparents’ house in Newaygo, Michigan. I read books by Napoleon Hill (Think and Grow Rich) and Claude Bristol (The Magic of Believing) so many times I had entire sections memorized. I got a “pillow speaker” so I could go to sleep at night listening to their tapes. W. Clement Stone, the insurance multimillionaire, had created a foundation that distributed posters and stickers with his slogans—“Do It Now!” and “Thinking will not overcome fear but action will!”—on them, and they decorated our apartment. I took the Dale Carnegie Course on public speaking, probably the best decision (outside of marrying Louise) of my life; it was transformational. That was an era when many young people in business were looking for role models and mentors.

From the halls of Mar-a-Lago to the ruins of Ukrainian hospitals, the toxic bond between Trump, Putin, and Epstein may have reshaped the world and cost the lives of countless children… "Russia unleashed a massive combined attack on Kyiv" last night, The Guardian reports. "Five people were hospitalised, including one man in critical condition and a pregnant woman, after a series of powerful explosions sounded in the city and air defenses were activated. … "Pictures posted on social media showed different sites in flames and residents gathering in rubble-strewn streets outside apartment buildings." The child victims of Jeffrey Epstein's crimes are apparently not the only ones who've paid the price for Donald Trump's long relationship with that notorious pedophile.
