Went to a lunchdate with hubby (it's our 9th wedding anniversary today) and they had on Fox "news" on one of their tv's. I asked the waitress if they could change the channel as it was in my direct view and was ruining my lunch, and she said, "THANK YOU! I'm from NY and it kills me that the majority of people who come in here DEMAND to keep Fox on or they'll leave." Unreal. She said that she's saddened by the stupidity and naive people here.
I DID see (but didn't hear) an interview with James Patterson, whose name keeps popping up on older links about Epstein. They were showing Patterson's book that was supposedly loosely based on Epstein, etc., called, "Filthy Rich". Not sure if they were trying to get ahead of the game......

”Strip club to host golf tournament at Trump resort in South Florida
By David A. Fahrenthold July 9 at 7:00 PM
President Trump’s golf resort in Doral, Fla., is scheduled to host a golf tournament Saturday put on by a Miami-area strip club, which will allow golfers to pay for a dancer to serve as their “caddy girl” while they play at the president’s club.
The “Shadow All Star Tournament” is organized by the Shadow Cabaret, a strip club in Hialeah, Fla. Emanuele Mancuso, Shadow Cabaret’s marketing director, said in a telephone interview that this was the first time the club had held a tournament at Trump Doral.
The Trump name and family crest are displayed prominently in the strip club’s advertising materials, which offer golfers the “caddy girl of your choice.”
Mancuso said the strip club did not intend to send a political statement by choosing Trump’s resort. Rather, he said, the choice was for luxury. These golfers are VIPs, Mancuso said. “They deserve a VIP environment.”
Mancuso said there would be no nudity at the resort. On the course, he said, the caddies would wear pink miniskirts and what he called “a sexy white polo.” Afterward, however, the golfers and the dancers would return to another venue — the cabaret itself — for what he described as a “very tasteful” burlesque show, which could involve nudity.
“They’re going to be clothed the whole time” at the golf course, Mancuso said. “At the venue is different.”
In a statement, the Trump Organization confirmed the event is happening and said it was for a “worthwhile cause” — a Miami children’s charity. A spokeswoman said the company had not approved the tournament’s advertisements before they were published.
Trump still owns Doral — and all his other businesses — while in office, but he has given day-to-day control to his sons Don Jr. and Eric.
Doral is better known for a different kind of golf tournament, a long-running PGA Tour event that was last played there in 2016. It is one of the jewels of Trump’s hotel empire — a legendary 57-year-old golf resort that Trump bought for $150 million in 2012.
After Trump entered politics, however, the club lost the famous tournament, and its revenue began to decline, according to documents that Trump’s company provided to Miami-Dade County in a tax dispute.
Those documents showed that the club’s net operating income fell 69 percent between 2015 and 2017. The club’s revenue rebounded slightly in 2018, according to Trump’s financial disclosure forms.
“They are severely underperforming” other resorts in the area, said a tax consultant for Trump’s company, arguing in a public hearing that the county should lower the resort’s tax assessment. She blamed the Trump name: “There is some negative connotation that is associated with the brand.”
Shadow Cabaret advertises that its strip club offers all-nude dancers, a laser light show and a decor inspired by the Miami drug epic “Scarface.”
It has been advertising the golf tournament at Doral online, on Facebook, on Instagram and via the industry website exoticdancer.com. It offers packages that claim to combine hotel rooms at Doral with services at the strip club: a $1,000 “VIP Upgrade,” for instance, includes three days at the hotel and “1/2 Hour VIP Room + Bottle @ Club.”
Mancuso, the cabaret’s marketing director, said the first event connected with the tournament will be a reception at the cabaret on Friday night.
“If you enroll before the 10th [of July], you are able to pick out your caddie girl,” he said. “Everybody that enrolled after the 10th, they’re going to have an auction” that night.
Mancuso said the dancers would drive a golf cart and not carry golf bags as some caddies do. “They’re actually going through training, most of the girls,” to be able to advise players on golf shots, he said.
Mancuso said the tournament would benefit a basketball-themed charity called Miami All Stars. Online advertisements for the tournament also include logos for the Jr. NBA and Jr. WNBA.
Carlos Alamilla, the charity’s director, said his group serves about 40 youths in Miami. “We provide everything. We provide fitness, nutrition, basketball and academics,” he said.
The charity’s website says it is “a non-profit organization under the laws of the State of Florida.” However, Franco Ripple, a spokesman for the state, said Tuesday that it is not registered as a charity in Florida. Alamilla did not immediately respond to questions about why his organization’s name was missing from state records.
A spokeswoman for the NBA and WNBA said that the leagues were not affiliated with the tournament and that their logos were used in the ads without permission.
Alamilla said it gave him pause to affiliate his charity with an event put on by a strip club: “It doesn’t jive with what we do, you know.” He said he also dislikes Trump because of the conditions in which his administration is detaining migrant children. “He’s contrary to everything we believe,” he said of the president.
Still, Alamilla said, he decided to accept the money — but also ban his charity’s child clients from attending.
“None of my kids are going to be participating in your event,” he said he told the organizers. But, he said, “if we can get some help, you know, for our programs starting now . . . it would be okay.”

Please tell me this photo has been photoshopped? Or that the children are sick? There just appears something wrong here.

Patterson’s contention is nobody knew because how could anyone possibly know this was going on? I find that almost impossible to believe. How could Epstein hide this for years when people see young girls going in and out of his residences? He’d have guests and there’d be a parade of girls, not women. Miami Herald’s Julie K Brown said they identified 80 victims. Witnesses and victims in the civil cases testified there were hundreds of girls brought to Epstein’s homes. Vicky Ward of Vanity Fair said, “What is so amazing to me is how his entire social circle knew about this and just blithely overlooked it . . . all mentioned the girls, as an aside.” People knew but decided to shut up about it, either because they were participants, and if they weren’t, they were afraid of Epstein’s money, power and influence (and the NY and Palm Beach uber elite do stick together like glue). That would be my assumption. I also think he blackmailed many people who participated because one of the victims, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, said there were videotapes and photos of her having sex with Epstein’s friends, and he would ask her afterwards for intimate and embarrassing information about the encounters. If he did that with Virginia, it's likely he did it with the other victims. And since I'm already planting my assumptions here, I think that's part of what made his fortune.

Kentucky SENATE race.......... Ditch Mitch! Amy McGrath, a Democratic challenger for Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's (R-Ky.) Senate seat in 2020, raised $2.5 million on the first day of her campaign.McGrath's campaign told NBC News that more than $1 million came in in the first five and a half hours after the campaign launched on Tuesday. McGrath campaign manager Mark Nickolas told NBC News that the $2.5 million haul came from online donations, with the average contribution being $36.15. Nickolas said that the amount raised was the largest for the first 24-hours of a Senate campaign. McGrath, who previously lost a Congressional a bid, announced her candidacy for the Senate in a three-minute campaign video. ** thehill.com/homenews/campaign/452348-amy-mcgrath-raises-25-million-on-first-day-of-campaign-to-unseat-mcconnell

Yeah, I know those girls were probably bored to tears being there, but they still have the look of kids who are not well. I hope they are safe.

Also the lighting in there is awful and flat, and those bright pink dresses are terrible with their coloring (and as a mom of girls, I understand that sometimes you just let them wear the bright pink dress anyway). I wouldn’t rush to judgment. None of that takes away from Acosta’s misdeeds, of course. But I’d rather focus on those rather than speculating about his kids based on their appearance in one picture.

I admittedly did kind of get a “girls from The Shining” vibe about it. You don’t often see siblings dressed alike now. My only observation on it, lol.

I don’t know that I’d call it loosely based. It’s titled “Filthy Rich: The Billionaire's Sex Scandal - The Shocking True Story of Jeffrey Epstein” His name is there in black and white. I’d wondered if it was fiction *inspired by* a true story too, until I went looking for it. I’d never even heard he wrote this book till now. I guess because doesn’t often write non fiction.

Acosta is just having a news conference defending his decision. I don’t think he will resign. One thing I have noticed about Presidents though, when a crisis breaks out and the President publicly supports whoever like Trump did yesterday...within days they either resign or are fired.
I just have a feeling that this Jeffrey Epstein thing is going to be HUGE.

I come here to read updated tidbits when my head hurts too much to read thru on Twitter or read every link, so I appreciate this!! I also doubt that people surrounding Epstein/Trump, etc... (Cassablancas...) didn't know what was going on! I had no idea about Virginia pics and video with Epstein's "friends". And, yes, from what I've read and heard, Epstein's background is murky. He doesn't even have a college degree. How he got so close with Wexner, etc., is murky. How he used his charm (or threats?) to get money and spin his "billionaire" dream is beyond me, but it all sounds familiar. Maybe in the end we'll find out that he's been using everyone else's money (like Trump's done) and is just another disgusting conman.

About Trump's Doral Golf Course and the stripper/VIP golf event: It all rings a bell! Lovely that Eric is handling this one too. He's the one that never gave the $$ a Trump golf course raised for St. Jude's/children's cancer cause!!! They skimmed most of the $$ they raised, thanks to his Daddy demanding it. So, instead of this being thru their "Foundation", it's now going through their "Organization" ? HOpe someone's watching!!!!! P.S.: Between the U.K. Ambassador stepping down (after doing his job for 40 years!) because of Trump being a baby, and Trump not facing repercussions with the Emoluments Clause, I'm pissed today! Then the strip club golf thing...
