The Conservative Cave

The former cellmate of infamous financier Jeffrey Epstein has claimed that Epstein said New York federal prosecutors had offered him a deal if Epstein agreed to implicate Donald Trump, then serving his first presidential term.

Epstein, who was arrested on child sex-trafficking charges in July of 2019, was transferred to the Metropolitan Correction Center in Manhattan and shared a cell with former police officer Nicholas Tartaglione, who at that time was awaiting trial. Tartaglione was eventually convicted on a quadruple-murder charge, while Epstein died in the jail a month after being arrested.

In a pardon application obtained by the New York Post, Tartaglione wrote, "Prosecutors … told Epstein that if he said President Trump was involved with Epstein’s crimes he would walk free."

"Epstein told me that [lead prosecutor] Maurene Comey said that he didn’t have to prove anything, as long as President Trump’s people could not disprove it. According to Maurene Comey, the FBI were 'her people, not his [President Trump’s]," the filing stated.

Well now, that’s some silly reasoning there. If Republicans manipulated the vote in 2024, what was stopping them this time?

The fact is, these were off-year elections, in areas where Democrats tend to do well.

Ajury on Thursday awarded $10 million to former Virginia teacher Abigail Zwerner after she was shot by a 6-year-old student.

The jurors found that a former assistant principal ignored warning signs that the boy brought a gun to school, an act of gross negligence that led to the avoidable shooting of Zwerner, the child's first-grade teacher, NBC News reported.

HORRIFIC. THIS IS TERRIFYING.

BEIRUT (AP) — Israeli jets struck several towns in southern Lebanon on Thursday after urging residents to leave, marking an escalation in their near-daily strikes on the country.

The airstrikes came hours after militant group Hezbollah urged the Lebanese government not to enter negotiations with Israel.

Israeli Arabic spokesperson Avichay Adraee warned residents in Tayba near the border, Teir Debba located just east of the coastal city of Tyre, and Aita al-Jabal in southern Lebanon, to flee 500 meters (about 1,600 feet) away from residential buildings they are targeting, which they say have been used by Hezbollah. It later issued more warnings for the towns of Zawtar al-Sharqiyah and Kfar Dounin.

The Israeli military said it targeted military infrastructure for Hezbollah in those areas. It accused the group of rebuilding its capabilities almost a year after a U.S.-brokered ceasefire went into effect that ended a monthslong war. While most residents evacuated the threatened areas ahead of the strikes, Lebanon’s health ministry reported one person wounded.

“We will not allow Hezbollah to rearm themselves, to recover, build back up its strength to threaten the state of Israel,” Israeli government spokesperson Shosh Bedrosian said at a briefing Thursday.
