(Just The News)—After pressuring Republicans for months to oppose any mass release of government records on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, President Donald Trump changed course just days before lawmakers will vote on a bill to release the Epstein files.
The U.S. House will vote Tuesday on Rep. Thomas Massie’s, R-Ky., resolution ordering the Department of Justice to “publicly disclose all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials in its possession that relate to Epstein or [his associate Ghislaine] Maxwell.”
The bill allows DOJ to redact or withhold material only if the material contains victims’ personally identifiable information; child sexual abuse materials; images of death, physical abuse, or injury; information which would jeopardize an active federal investigation or prosecution; or classified information.
Long claimed to be a Republican “conspiracy theory,” the existence of “the Epstein files” – which supposedly contain incriminating information about major political figures’ associations with the now-deceased Epstein – is now pushed by Democratic lawmakers.
The shift happened after U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said that Epstein’s client list was “sitting on [her] desk,” only for the administration to backtrack and say that no such list existed.
Trump then began calling the files “a Democratic hoax,” causing most Republicans to shy away from the issue and spurring Democrats to accuse him of hiding information.
But the president abruptly reversed his demands that Republicans tank the resolution in a Truth Social post Sunday.
“House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide, and it’s time to move on from this Democrat Hoax perpetrated by Radical Left Lunatics in order to deflect from the Great Success of the Republican Party,” Trump wrote.
“Nobody cared about Jeffrey Epstein when he was alive and, if the Democrats had anything, they would have released it before our Landslide Election Victory,” he added. “Some ‘members’ of the Republican Party are being ‘used,’ and we can’t let that happen. Let’s start talking about the Republican Party’s Record Setting Achievements, and not fall into the Epstein ‘TRAP,’ which is actually a curse on the Democrats, not us.”
The president was presumably referring to Reps. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo.; Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga.; and Nancy Mace, R-S.C.; who were the only Republicans besides Massie to have signed the discharge petition.
Now, with Trump’s begrudging go-ahead, dozens of other House Republicans will likely vote in favor of the actual bill.
Republicans on the House Oversight Committee have already launched an official investigation into Epstein’s contacts, issuing subpoenas to the DOJ and many high-profile Democrats with connections to Epstein. The committee has declassified tens of thousands of Epstein-related documents since September, but the troves contained heavy redactions and revealed almost no new information.
The newest batch released last week contained emails which appear to suggest that Trump spent time with a victim at Epstein’s house. The White House said the three emails “prove absolutely nothing other than the fact that President Trump did nothing wrong.”
Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
