Thank you Professor. Yours is a very common sense and informed view. But FYI: Derek Chauvin did not “give birth to the Black Lives Matter Movement.” That movement was formed beforehand and ready to go. It was in the form of the Saul Alinsky model of “ never letting a crisis go to waste but turning it into an opportunity” for the perpetuation of the left wing revolution. That group was formed by two loonies and it ultimately absconded with all the money it raised from white liberals. Floyd died of a heart attack due to a drug overdose. He started saying “ I can’t breathe” before he was put on the ground. Chauvin applied an approved police procedure to stop him from physically resisting arrest. Chauvin did not have a fair trial. Floyd was a life-long criminal who has been canonized by the legacy media & company.

BLM was already active six years before Floyd’s death when the Ferguson riots took place in St. Louis. Hands up, don’t shoot.

I have an ironic question: Why are many of us freethinking MAGA being prejudged as traitors to America? just because we refuse to conform to the small section of MAGA (since not all MAGA are equal), who are paranoid about about who is on the Epstein List😎

Epstein isn't going away just because Trump wants it to. Bongino is not on board, to his credit. I hope church mom Karoline Leavitt loses sleep at night, knowing that she is now part of protecting a pedo.

Those are the woke right antisemitic "Republicans" in name only. They are the new RINO's. They have more in common with the marxist/islamist wing of the Democrats then MAGA and America First.

I don't need Dershowicz to tell me why. I know why. Trump campaigned on transparency and the release of the Epstein files. Now look at what's happening: just the opposite.

Because he is backing away from freer markets. conservatism is about less govt and minimal interventionism.

The govt involved in steel, the game of tariffs, and pressuring businesses to act as he would

Like will only lead toward proliferation of interventions by succeeding executives.

Well, fans of the Dershow have some concern that Alan is having a relatively difficult time economically. Though quite rich by normal American standards and still owning an elite address, he of couirse can understndably complain abour the massive reductionin his standard of living compared with the 20 years he worked together with Jeff Epstein helping Jeff stay out of jail so he could, and maybe Dersh too, work on Epstein's varied projects dedicated to child development.

Since we love Alan and want his on the edge podcast to continue, let me share this idea for restoring Alan's finances. The Epstein case is again on everyone's minds. This amounts to free advertising. The Epstein efforts to groom the underage kids into sexual aduthood get a lot of perhaps envious attention. But most interesting are those allegations personally against Dershowitz.. He was 73 years old ! Still he was accused graphically of serial rape and child sexual traffickingl At 73 !. Well, we cannot outmatch Big Pharma on Viagra or other gravity combatting drugs. But we can do something with dildoes. The idea is to market "Dershowitz dildoes" and advertise their design attested to be child - friendly and therefore also attractive to the shy virginal adult. As a partner in the venture, Alan hopefully would tell prospective buyers how to use them, his experience with them and what he observed among the penetratees. We can advertise "Jeffrey Epstein would never leave home without one! Get your Dershowitz dildo today and watch the satisfaction in her eyes" . Leslie Wexner at 91 will turn green with envy and will probably insist on getting a free sample and licensing the Dershowitz Dildo for Victorias Secret. We will send a free sample to the President to keep in his Tesla. The marketing of the Dershowitz dildo will guaranteed be studied in business schools. With the Dershowitz Dildo, perhaps we can even end the war on children in Gaza- - -the dildo can be a humanitarian tool allowing the kids to live and earn money for the IDF generals instead of the kids uselessly and unprofitably being killed off . Send me a PM, Alan, and we will figure out how much to charge for a Dershowitz dildo. I am thinking USD 75.

Time for some serious investigative journalism.

1. Dead Pimp?

2. Imprisoned Madame.

3. Woman who are victims of sexual assault, abuse and sex trafficking when they were minors.

4. Lots of very, very worried men who can’t sleep at night because of the “list”.

At this point lack of information leads to speculation. This means that every man over the age of 70 is on the list.

But I have figured it out and I have a lead.

Play the Beatles song “Revolution Number 9” backwards and you will hear that “Jeffery Epstein is alive and well and living in Moscow. It’s a mad, mad, mad world!

Dershowitz has recently presented a film clip, shown on Megyn Kelley saying (no news here) that he knows some names of people connected to Epstein's projects.

Well of course Dershowitz knows. They were ideological brothers in arms for 20 years, pictured strolling gaily (not necessarily literally in the modern parlance) down the Coney Island Boardwalk in a Vanity Fair Photo Shoot, working together to visit and awaken Lex Wexner's comrade billionaires to the duties of their Jewish roots, to arrange more directed philantropy for the Jewish State and help to secure the safety and welfare and prowess of that State.

But Dersh claims his lips are sealed by court order, and makes no mention of the other names he must know after 20 years of chimera-close association with Epstein. Would it not be stunning to hear the names Leon Black or Leslie Wexner from -Dersh as well as a description about their eventual taste in children? But Dershowitz is Omerta silent about this. -----He refuses to talk about them These secrets go to the grave. Maybe if spilled, the secrets would cause a premature burial for the 86 year old.

In this particular podcast, Dershowitz as usual limits huimseftowhat he does not know or does not know well. BLM, Derek Chauvin, George Flohyd, Ferguson are all unexplored teitoehy for Dersh, which does not stop him from opining withoput restraint or even a considerationn he mahy be relatively uninformed. On Epstein sexual excesses, I bet thwere is no one alive bettwr informed. Yet he prefers to write about what he inadequately lnows.

'You watch a detective show; they talk to everyone. In the Epstein case, we still do not know if there has been any detective from FBI investigating. We know the Palm Beach Police investigated multiple pedo allegations against Dershowitz. It was not just Virginia who accused him. She said he took her withn him on 6 interstate trips. A starting point is thatn these travel arrangemwnts would ensure prioper identification when she accused him for a period of many years of pedo rape. Certainly her identification of Prince Andrew supports her abiity to connect names to semi-corpulent male bodies. We know how Dersh obstructed production of evidence by issuing defamation suits complete with private detectives to harass the families of potential accusers and witnesses. We kniow how Dersh collects NDAs (also thru the Epstein Estate, raising the issue of cooperation with the Estate) preventing further production of evidence We saw an intensive PR campaign, personal attacks on Epstein House Managers who said Dersh often visited this and that Epstein mansion, had his own key, had a personal office on the second floor, the same floor with a common room for the kids, the same floor he paraded down in his underpants in front of the girls. We still lack a description of those underpants and if they could be on the floor yet still regarded as "on". Olga has nver appeared as a supporting witness. Neither has alibi evidence according to Ms Bruch. But the Palm Beach Police investigation with interviews of 33 kids remains sealed. We have no other information, other than Dersh's general admissions about his underpants, that he kept them on at all times. But like what was done during all those times=

From Dersh we get lots of information about matters which he does not know. It is characteristic of Dersh to be opaque abouit what he knows better than anyone else, even outside an attorney client priviledge and despite the fact that his particular client because of his expiration is no longer entitled to the priviledge.. But Mr Trump apparently wants to protect Dersh's privacy and will not stress Dersh to say what wen on during his 20 tears with Epstein. We get movies about "My 12 Year as a Slave" but nothing about "My 20 years with the Child Developer, Jeffrey Epstein". And Mr Trump is looking complicit in thje cover up. Is he actively protecting De4rshowitz?

If they are like Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins, they are not really Republicans. Seems we should look at voting records over the past 4 years and make a judgment call.

It’s simple he didn’t keep his word, He sold out to you, Jews, So, my next question is, what do you have over him? Why would a man turn against the people that put him in office? Netanyahu comes to visit and Trump bombs. Iran the very next week. You people are the parasites of civilization, What you’re doing in Gaza is genocide. How you possibly can do that after making it through Auschwitz I have no clue. You are an embarrassment to humanity. Your shame never quits

Irrational extremist emotionalism knows no political boundaries, that’s why some Republicans are turning on Trump over Epstein.
