World Economic Forum Investigates Its CEO Over Epstein Ties

The World Economic Forum has launched an independent investigation into its CEO Borge Brende to clarify his relationship with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, the organization said Thursday.

The Geneva-based organizer of the Davos summit said it was looking into disclosures from the U.S. Justice Department that showed Brende had had three business dinners with Epstein and had also communicated with the disgraced financier via email and text message.

The Dem-demanded Epstein Mark 14 torpedo continues its circular run.

Not threadworthy, but worth asking.  I'm not finding any evidence of people outside the US "going down hard" for being in the files.  Am I missing something, or is this just braindead celeb virtue signalling/pot stirring?

CNN Erupts After Scott Jennings Drops Truth Bomb on Election Denialism

CNN's Scott Jennings dropped a truth bomb on a panel of liberals Thursday night that sent them into predictable meltdown mode. What did he do? He dared to point out that Democrats have their own ugly history of election denial, and the resulting freakout was something to behold.

The issue at hand was the SAVE Act, which would require photo identification and proof of citizenship to vote. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called the legislation “Jim Crow 2.0” despite overwhelming bipartisan support. Jennings decided to point out — accurately, I should add — that both sides have questioned election results.

"The Voter Registration Act requires states to try to keep their voter rolls clean. Many of them do not. The Help America Vote Act does the same thing. So, there are already some federal requirements on states to try to engage in some best practices. For what purpose? To give people confidence that the election is running fairly," Jennings explained. "Now, at the beginning, we talk a little bit about, you know, people believing that elections had been stolen. It's not just 2020. A majority of Democrats in this country think the 2016 election was stolen, and I suspect a great many Democrats still think 2004 and 2000 were stolen as well," Jennings said. "So, this is a problem that has plagued both parties, the idea that they don't believe the outcome of elections."

CNN Dem-Parrots went full, But That's (D)ifferent mode.

Single tip triggers massive California human trafficking bust with more than 600 arrests

https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/single-tip-triggers-massive-california-174147388.html

Quote
A single tip about a quiet suburban home in California exploded into a massive human trafficking takedown that rescued nearly 20 children, uncovered residential brothels and netted more than 600 arrests statewide, authorities said Tuesday.

The week-long operation, dubbed Operation Reclaim and Rebuild, involved dozens of agencies and led to the rescue of 12 adults and five children in Los Angeles County alone, officials said during a news conference.

Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said the entire investigation began with a single citizen complaint about a suspicious home in Walnut. That tip led to months of surveillance and the discovery of multiple trafficking locations in nearby suburban neighborhoods.

Among the 611 total arrests were suspected traffickers and hundreds of sex buyers, though authorities have not yet said how many will face felony human trafficking charges versus lesser solicitation offenses.
...
"We have traffickers that are putting barely teenage girls on the streets of Los Angeles to be victimized, repeatedly, over and over again," said LAPD Deputy Chief Alan Hamilton. "These children did not come from one place. They came from Chicago, from Oklahoma, from Missouri, tribal lands... and from communities right here in the state of California."

I wonder how many of the traffickers also face possible deportation. I'm guessing the number is greater than zero.

Houston transplant doctor indicted for making false statements in patients’ medical records

https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdtx/pr/houston-transplant-doctor-indicted-making-false-statements-patients-medical-records

Quote
HOUSTON – A 66-year-old Houston physician has been charged with falsifying medical records which made potential transplant recipients ineligible for organ donations, announced U.S. Attorney Nicholas J. Ganjei.

John Stevenson Bynon Jr. has now surrendered to federal authorities and is set for his initial appearance before U.S. Magistrate Judge Dena H. Palermo at 2 p.m.

According to the indictment, returned Jan. 14, Bynon was Director of Abdominal Organ Transplantation and Surgical Director for Liver Transplantation at Memorial Hermann Health System’s Texas Medical Center in Houston. Under his care, patients were allegedly activated on the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) liver transplant waitlist while awaiting an organ donation.

The charges allege that even though patients should have been able to receive donations through UNOS, Bynon made false statements in their medical records which rendered them functionally ineligible for a donation. Patients, their families, and other members of their medical care team, were unaware of the false information, according to court documents. Many patients allegedly remained ineligible for months without knowing they could not receive donor organ offers during that time.

Of the five patients detailed in an indictment made public on Thursday, three died and two others were able to get liver transplants at different hospitals.

No word at this point why he did this.

Professors say Gen Z students can’t read, forcing colleges to lower academic standards

https://www.campusreform.org/article/professors-say-gen-z-students-cant-read-forcing-colleges-lower-academic-standards/29324

Quote
College students are increasingly unprepared for serious study, with some professors recently reporting they are illiterate, raising significant questions about the overall quality of American education.

“It’s not even an inability to critically think,” Jessica Hooten Wilson, a Pepperdine University professor, told Fortune. “It’s an inability to read sentences.”

Wilson described that she is trying new pedagogical methods to convey the same information.

“I feel like I am tap dancing and having to read things aloud because there’s no way that anyone read it the night before,” Wilson stated. “Even when you read it in class with them, there’s so much they can’t process about the very words that are on the page.”

In a statement to Campus Reform, Wilson clarified that the students she described are not in Pepperdine’s Great Books program, who she says are eager to read.

“What I was lamenting was those outside of such honors programs who might have the desire but did not receive the instruction in public education,” she told Campus Reform.

EPSTEIN FILES: How the 'most powerful people' at Columbia helped Jeffrey Epstein's girlfriend get in

https://www.campusreform.org/article/epstein-files-most-powerful-people-columbia-helped-jeffrey-epsteins-girlfriend-get-/29362

Quote
On January 16, 2018, Jeffrey Epstein received an email:

Quote
”Hi Jeff, I was at dinner last night with Dean Stohle= [sic] and Dr. Letty Moss-Salentijn who was Karyna’s mentor and did =he [sic] most to help her get in and finish up dental school. Dr. Moss Salentijn=is [sic] involved in Haptech development for the school. A donation gift/of $450,000 would be appreciated if you can make a donat=n [sic]. I think you should do this for Dr. Salentijn and the school. Thanks Jef= [sic]. Call me to discuss.”

The $450,000 ask came from Dr. Thomas J. Magnani D.D.S., a Manhattan dentist identified by Columbia University as a member of its College of Dental Medicine’s Board of Advisors. Six years prior to the email, Magnani apparently coordinated with Epstein and top Columbia officials to get Epstein’s girlfriend Karyna Shuliak admitted to the university’s dental school.

My emphasis. I don't know how "F" Epstein's "GF" was - nor want to - but Columbia did this entirely legal quid pro quo deal knowing what Epstein was.

I saw a comment to this effect: the Epstein files Dem imagined would torpedo Trump have turned out to be doing a circular run.

Kamala Harris unveils “Headquarters 67” to mobilize Gen Z through a new digital media hub

Quote
More than a year after her loss to Donald Trump in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, Kamala Harris is stepping back into the digital spotlight. Harris is helping launch a media project aimed at young Americans. The initiative rebrands her popular 2024 campaign accounts into a new online hub called Headquarters 67.

Harris announced Thursday that she is partnering with the liberal advocacy group People For the American Way to relaunch KamalaHQ as Headquarters. The project will focus on Gen Z audiences and youth political engagement.

The renamed accounts already bring a large following. The X account, now called @headquarters_67, has about 1.1 million followers. The TikTok account, @headquarters, has roughly 5.4 million followers. The group also plans to expand to YouTube, Substack, and other platforms. The X bio includes a pointed message. It reads, “Elon wouldn’t give us @headquarters.” The line nods to platform owner Elon Musk.

In a launch video posted on X, Harris described Headquarters as a place for connection and information. She said young people can use it to follow current events and hear from leaders across many fields.

She and her handlers seriously are trying to stay relevant by rebranding with a brainrot meme that was the most annoying thing on the internet for it's 15 minutes of fame?  I can hear the conversation now.....

"How can we attract young people to our social media accounts?  Quick, Google what's popular with kids right now."
"Six seven seems to be at the top of the search results."
"Six seven? Ok, sounds good.  Name the accounts that, and bring in the margarita machine."
