While the world burns, media chases clicks and Trump floods the zone, Americans’ real crises, Epstein files, Ukraine, affordability, die quietly off camera, ignored by the noise and spectacle machine
Thank you. They should all be ashamed to call themselves”news”. They’re millionaire/billionaire owned cost centers pandering to the emotions, not the minds of paying audiences.
Boy, those Epstein files must be so incriminating if you have to start a war to create distraction. And another thought, could the pee tape be among them? Eusie Zane
As of now, Maxwell is serving a 20-year prison sentence for her crimes. In August 2025, she was transferred to a minimum-security facility in Texas, which has raised concerns among her victims about preferential treatment.
You ain't seen nothing yet. next will be Greenland with military. Then Panama. You will forget the 5 million pieces of criminality of Trump with Epstein. You will forget Ukraine being bombed by Putin. Michael is right but you ain't seen nothing yet. He will do anything and everything legal and mainly ILLEGAL to stay in power and obscure his crimes. Roy Cohn taugh him and he'll never forget. When confronted with a crime: DENY DENY DENY; then ACCUSE ACCUSE ACCUSE and finally CHANGE THE FOCUS and start other dramas and they will forget why they are after you.
How perfectly he took all to heart. epstein: 'deny - don't know him. hardly a friend. I kicked him out. Accuse: it is a democratic hoax. biden did nothing and if I was involved he would have done something. It is a huge hoax. Now change the focus: start bombin boats, start a war, wag the dog over and over. all over the world. Bamboozle 'em. Razzle dazzle 'em, He is billy flynn personified. and Lying Leavitt is like the puppet on Billy's lap when she opens her mouth and repeats Trump's lies. Oh how perfect. (refer to movie/play Chicago)
Be aware, he is in charge of several thousand million tons of thermonuclear weapons and he has asked 'why he can't use them' ! . . . . Also, be aware, he is insane ! . . . .👹
great comment. thankyou. unfortunately you are soooooo correct. the masses don't have the brain power to absorb this much.....BUT a centralized database of trump abuses, with targeted sub databases for latino's, for blacks, for women, for environmentalists, union members etc etc could then be used to refocus each of the myriad of groups-for-trump to exactly what he did and said that was contrary to their best interests as well as demeaning of that same audience....this factual information must be shoved down their throats until they choke....
A lot of people upset with me for calling this a distraction either saying I'm diminishing what a monster Maduro is or just how illegal and wrong Trump is for kidnapping another head of state unilaterally. Thing is it is a distraction not that I disagree with either of those things but Trump wants us jumping from one disaster to the next, we need to not ignore his illegal actions now while still keeping the Epstein files and cost of living in the fore front at the same time. He's trying to exhaust us
thank you...great comment....a democracy organization must create a centralized database of trump abuses/cruelty/lies/illegal actions etc, and from this should come targeted sub databases for latino's, for blacks, for women, for environmentalists, union members etc etc could then be used to refocus each of the myriad of groups-for-trump to exactly what he did and said that was contrary to their best interests as well as demeaning of that same audience....this factual information must be shoved down their throats until they choke.... short sentences, repeat repeat repeat...
And why is Maduro so much worse than putin? Oh yeah, now the entire GOP congress thinks putin is up there with Mother Teresa and his abuses are just fine.
Classic smoke and mirrors to deflect attention from what’s really happening. As Lev Parnas frequently reminds us, “don’t pay attention to what they say, watch what they do” He’s right.
Congress is back in session, right? Perfect time to indict DHS and DOJ for breaking the law by withholding documents. Maybe the media would pay attention to that.
The media has failed America almost as badly as the trump administration. Many media outlets we thought inviolable -- like CBS News -- are now no better than Fox News. Bari Weiss and Larry Ellison have destroyed a great legacy. Substack, with writers like Michael, is one of the best alternatives so keep subscribing.
Clearly the authority of the Legislative Branch has been illegally usurped, but our remedial mechanisms of prosecution are in the Executive Branch. While the Executive Branch is breaking the law, the Legislative Branch is controlled by the same party as the Executive Branch; hence, the Legislature is complicit in the crime and has not complained sufficiently. Perhaps our checks and balances are unchecked and
unbalanced. Those need revisiting and reset. Would you not say that at the very least?
Reality can easily be ignored
The consequences of ignoring said reality
Alas
Cannot:
"The farther Trump runs from his sins, the more exhausted he will be when they catch up to him."
I hope he runs extra fast for his 50 foot marathon...
He has top healthcare.
Karma does not concern itself with gold plated insurance policies..
You keep posting this same line in multiple articles. Perhaps you should stick with posting on truth social with the rest of the Trump sycophants.
Only in the afterlife will he pay for what he has done. Nobody escapes when that check is due!
Thank you. They should all be ashamed to call themselves”news”. They’re millionaire/billionaire owned cost centers pandering to the emotions, not the minds of paying audiences.
Who are you talking about? There is no name here and what "news" is being covered by these billionaires' news outlets?
Really?

I think Maxwell is in Texas at a spa, no?!?😏🤨
Current Status
As of now, Maxwell is serving a 20-year prison sentence for her crimes. In August 2025, she was transferred to a minimum-security facility in Texas, which has raised concerns among her victims about preferential treatment.

I hope the orange man dies before that bitch ANY pardons!!
I think he meant Luigi Mangione
It was an error that I hoped to correct. That is all✌🏼
I think it might have been a test to see who's really reading 🙃🤔
Epstein, Epstein, Epstein. Thanks for stressing it and keep stressing it.

Thank you for keeping the epstein story alive, but everyone seems to forget about Palestine.
And the fact trump sends money to netanyahu to fund his actions
Oh absolutely. My tax dollars are funding a damn genocide
They voted for a reality clown and we got the show
Release the Epstein files! Lock up the evil orange would-be emperor and his minions! (No sure we have enough jail cells for all of them, though...)
Your writing is so enjoyable to read. I am impressed. Thank you for your clarity and passion.

What do Bari Weiss and Ellison have in common? Don’t ask the meidas boys. They don’t cover Zionism or Israeli control of our media and government
Thank you Michael for telling it like it is . Great job!
