House Oversight Democrats embarrassed themselves again on Wednesday with yet another stunt masquerading as transparency. They released what they hyped as never-before-seen photos and videos from Jeffrey Epstein's private island.

Dems postured as noble seekers of justice in their post on X:

BREAKING: Oversight Dems have received never-before-seen photos and videos of Jeffrey Epstein's private island that are a harrowing look behind Epstein’s closed doors.

See for yourself. We won’t stop fighting until we end this cover-up and deliver justice for the survivors.

“These new images are a disturbing look into the world of Jeffrey Epstein and his island. We are releasing these photos and videos to ensure public transparency in our investigation and to help piece together the full picture of Epstein’s horrific crimes. We won’t stop fighting until we deliver justice for the survivors,” Rep. Robert Garcia, Ranking Member of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, said in a statement. “It’s time for President Trump to release all the files, now.”

There was just one problem: The images weren't new at all.

The post turned out to be the latest humiliation of Democrats in their attempts to anoint themselves as the party of transparency regarding the Epstein files. In fact, investigative journalist James O'Keefe and his O'Keefe Media Group had already made those same images public roughly seven months earlier.

Besides the fact that these photos had been made public months ago, are people supposed to forget that LIEden's MalAdministration had - and did not make public - these photos for years?

Soros-Backed Black Friday Boycott Bombs, Holiday Shopping Sets a New Record

Democrats’ call for consumer boycotts over the Thanksgiving shopping weekend failed to gain traction as Black Friday and the days that followed produced record-setting sales figures nationwide.

The campaign, known online as #WABIT (We Ain’t Buying It), targeted three major retailers—Target, Home Depot and Amazon—accusing them of “colluding” with the Trump administration on deportation and tax policies.

The effort was supported by Soros-backed Indivisible.org and routed donations through ActBlue.

U.S. online Black Friday spending reached $11.8 billion, a 9.1% increase from 2024, according to reported projections.

Mobile purchases accounted for over half of online sales. Total retail spending rose 4.1% year-over-year, with e-commerce up 10.4% and in-store sales rising 1.7%.

Unsurprisingly. Have any blacktivists howled, yet, that this was a racist buycott?

Election Integrity Push: DOJ on track to compel voter roll cleanups in over half of U.S. states

The Trump Justice Department is on track to compel more than half the states in America to clean up their voter rolls and believes sloppiness that left dead people and non-citizens in a position to vote in Democrat-run states is intentional, a top prosecutor told Just the News.

"The sloppiness of the elections in blue states is no accident. It is on purpose. It is a feature, not a bug," Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet J. Dhillon told the Just the News, No Noise television show on Wednesday night.
...
"What we can do at the federal government level is ensure that our federal election laws are observed, and that includes each state's requirement to keep clean voter rolls," she added. "That is a fundamental basic."

Dhillon spoke one day after her division filed lawsuits against six Democrat-run states — Maryland, Delaware, Rhode Island, New Mexico, Washington state and Vermont — seeking to compel them to turn over to the DOJ their voter rolls to be inspected for abnormalities, outdated names or noncompliant names.

She also struck a deal last week with North Carolina to force it to review and fix over 100,000 voters' names on rolls in that battleground state that were added without complying with state law.

In CA, keeping voter rolls up to date is one of the SecState's official duties. I doubt CA's SecState has been doing this past 3 or 4 decades, however.

Trump Pardons Democrat Who Accused Him of Inciting Insurrection, Voted for Impeachment.

https://thenationalpulse.com/2025/12/03/trump-pardons-democrat-who-accused-him-of-inciting-insurrection-voted-for-impeachment/

President Donald J. Trump announced Wednesday on Truth Social that he would pardon Representative Enrique “Henry” Cuellar (D-TX), who was indicted last year on charges of bribery and money laundering. The pardon also extends to Cuellar’s wife, Imelda, who faced related charges.

In the Truth Social post, Trump accused the former Biden government of having targeted Cuellar over his opposition to its mass immigration policies. “For years, the Biden Administration weaponized the Justice System against their Political Opponents, and anyone who disagreed with them. One of the clearest examples of this was when Crooked Joe used the FBI and DOJ to ‘take out’ a member of his own Party after Highly Respected Congressman Henry Cuellar bravely spoke out against Open Borders, and the Biden Border ‘Catastrophe,'” President Trump wrote.
...
In 2024, Cuellar and his wife were federally charged related to foreign corruption. In January 2022, federal agents raided Cuellar’s home and campaign office in Texas as part of an investigation into a group of U.S. businessmen with ties to Azerbaijan. At the time, the Texas Democrat pledged to cooperate with the federal investigation.

It would seem that Trump is not as vindictive as Dems and their MSM claim.
