FBI Vows to Release Epstein Suicide Proof, but There’s a Catch


FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino, who continues to insist Jeffrey Epstein
committed suicide
<[link removed]>
, pledged on Thursday to release prison security footage he says proves his
claim.

Okay, you’re probably thinking, so this is it. Surely Bongino’s tape will show
the disgraced pedophile committing his fatal act, and that will be that. Case
closed.

Nope.

“No, no, not the actual act,” he said when asked if his release will include
that somewhat meaningful detail.

Just to review, Epstein’s trial likely would have exposed untold numbers of
powerful figures for their sex crimes and other dirty deeds, making it entirely
plausible that someone could have wanted him eliminated so his secrets wouldn’t
get out. On the night he “killed himself,” he was without a cellmate, his
guards fell asleep, and the cameras supposed to be monitoring him went dark.

Many people remain skeptical about Bongino’s assertions, so we welcome his
release of any purported evidence to support his claim. That will let the
public decide for itself rather than being told what to think by the government.

DC Mayor Flip-Flops on Immigration, Moves to Repeal Sanctuary City Law


In 2019, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser tweeted that Washington is a “proud sanctuary
city.”


<[link removed]>

Today, she’s singing a different tune.

Bowser is reportedly working to overturn her city’s sanctuary city law,
seeking to allow DC officials to inquire about detainees’ immigration statuses,
transfer the criminals to ICE, and allow the feds to interview suspects in
local custody without a judicial order. The proposal is a part of her 2026
budget plan.

What would the 2015 version of Bowser say about that plan? She’d probably
shriek about it being racist, fascist, and maybe even a threat to democracy.
Diversity is our strength! Uh huh. Read more.

Jasmine Crockett Thinks Republicans “Really Like” Her


Jasmine Crockett said she thinks Donald Trump and Republican voters secretly
“really like” her on Wednesday, hypothesizing that the president likes to talk
about her because he’s seen her positive polling. She made the comment to Jim
Acosta, who apparently has a show.

“Hey, I just wanted to let you know that I really like you,” she claimed GOP
voters tell her in public. “Like, we come from completely different parties,
but I believe that you are fighting for the people. I believe that you are
trying to do what’s best for all of us. I may disagree with, like, how you feel
like we get there, but I agree with your fight.”

Crockett is right about one thing: we do really like her. But it’s not for
the reason she thinks. In a time when news and politics can be depressing,
infuriating, or both, she exists as an excellent source of unintentional
comedic relief that makes itjust a little easier to wake up in the morning.

Whether she’s bashing Greg Abbott as “Governor Hot Wheels
<[link removed]>
” while simultaneously claiming to be a social justice warrior,suggesting with
a straight face that the president wants to revive slavery
<[link removed]>, or bragging about
havingthat stank

, the distinguished congresswoman always knows how to get a good laugh.Read

“Liberation Day” Tariff Ban Lasts Less than One Day


Yesterday’s Morning Note <[link removed]>
reported on the U.S. Court of International Trade blocking Donald Trump’s
“Liberation Day” tariffs. 24 hours later, that story is already out of date.

A federal appeals court granted the White House’s request to pause the
aforementioned ruling on Thursday, giving the administration “some breathing
room” as it prepares to argue that judges should halt the tariff ban for the
duration of the appeals process.

Watch Out for the Fake Susie Wiles


The FBI is reportedly investigating an effort to impersonate White House chief
of staff Susie Wiles after an unknown imposter placed phone calls and sent
messages to GOP members of congress, governors, and business leaders pretending
to be the close Trump confidant.

The perpetrator is said to have used artificial intelligence to mimic Wiles’s
voice, seeking things like a cash transfer, a list of potential Trump pardon
candidates, and answers to questions any real chief of staff would already
know. The communications also contained broken grammar.

Earlier this month, the FBI warned of “an ongoing malicious text and voice
messaging campaign” where actors have “impersonated senior US officials to
target individuals, many of whom are current or former senior US federal or
state government officials and their contacts.” It is unclear if that alert
pertained to the Wiles case.

Authorities indicted three members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard
Corps for allegedly hacking Wiles’ email account last year, but officials do
not suspect a foreign nation is behind this con.Read more.

John Tyler Became President in 1841. His Grandson Lived Until Last Weekend.


When John Tyler assumed the presidency, thrust into the office after the death
of William Henry Harrison, he probably wasn’t thinking about what the world
would be like in 2025. The annexation of Texas, among other things, was a bit
of a more pressing issue.

Could he have imagined one of his grandchildren would live to see the distant
year? It seems inconceivable, but that’s exactly what happened. Harrison Ruffin
Tyler, the former president’s final living grandson, died over Memorial Day
weekend, marking the end of a generational bridge that connected modern America
to its antebellum past.

Consecutive cases of late-in-life fatherhood made such a wide generational
gap possible, as President Tyler fathered his son, Lyon, at age 63, who then
welcomed Harrison into the world when he was 75. Harrison spent his life
working in the chemical engineering industry and studying history. He met FDR
as a child.

His presidential grandfather began his life in 1790, during the Washington
administration, meaning this story is the equivalent of someone born in 2000
having a grandchild surviveuntil the year 2235. Read more.

South African Woman Sentenced to Life in Prison for Selling Her Own Daughter


A judge sentenced South African mother Kelly Smith to life in prison on
Thursday for selling her 6-year-old daughter. The decision comes after a court
convicted Smith, her boyfriend Jacquen Appollis, and another man of kidnapping
and human trafficking earlier this month after the child, named Joshlin,
disappeared in February.

Smith became a sympathetic figure shortly after the girl vanished, with
members of the public volunteering to help police search for her in her
impoverished neighborhood’s adjacent wilderness. Her role of grieving parent
came crashing down, however, when a woman testified that Smith admitted to her
that she’d sold the child to a “traditional healer” who wanted to use her “for
her body parts.” We’d rather not imagine what that means.

The transaction totaled roughly $1,000, and Joshlin remains missing to this
day.Read more.

Dog Discovers Dismembered Foot, Potentially Solving 27-Year-Old Mystery


You never know what might happen when you’re walking your dog.

One minute, you’re enjoying a peaceful stroll through your neighborhood, then
the next, your pet sees a squirrel and you’re suddenly being dragged down the
sidewalk as he pursues his evasive prey. You order him to stop, but to no
avail. It’s a total mutiny.

A Utah man encountered a different kind of dog-walk surprise earlier this
month when his canine picked up a shoe containing a dismembered human foot. The
discovery occurred on the shore of Venice’s Fish Lake, nearly three hours south
of Salt Lake City.

<[link removed]>

<[link removed]>

Detectives suspect the remains belong to David White, a fisherman who
disappeared in 1997. Police believe he fell from his boat while fishing in the
center of the lake and never returned to land. Authorities are comparing the
foot’s DNA to that of one of White’s children to see if it’s a match.Read more.

Commentary


How Low Can You Go?


Jake Tapper had a vision.

Once he released his book revealing the revolutionary discovery that Joe
Biden’s mental capabilities are similar to those of a lamppost, the entire
media world would be his oyster. Liberals, conservatives, and apoliticals alike
would marvel at his groundbreaking journalism, profusely thanking him for
shining a light on such a hidden truth thatno one would have figured out if not
for his stellar reporting.

Thank the Lord for Jake Tapper, the people would cry out. We once were lost,
but now we’re found.

Now that we’re over a week removed from the Democrat propagandist’s
publication hitting the shelves, it’s worth pausing to analyze how his plan is
actually going. Are the people building shrines in his honor? Dedicating
libraries in his name? And most of all, are they dropping everything they’re
doingthe second his CNN show goes live, gluing their eyes to their TVs in hopes
thatmaybe just maybe Tapper will enlighten them with yet another groundbreaking
revelation? Like, say, by declaring that believe it or not, Chris Christie is
overweight? Or how the White House is… wait for it…white?

Not quite. According to a Thursday report
<[link removed]>
, “The Lead with Jake Tapper” had its lowest-rated month in nearly a decade in
May, averaging a paltry 525,000 viewers per night. That figure represents a 25%
decrease from the same time last year and paled in comparison to a rival
network that routinely attracted over 3 million watchers during the same time
slot.

Why might that be?

The unfortunate reality for Tapper is that the American people aren’t the
imbeciles he thinks they are. We may repulse him by breathing through our
mouths from time to time, but we can still see straight through his act.He
created the scandal he’s trying to cash in from “uncovering,” and the public
knows it.

Will Tapper’s book enrich him? Probably. But that’s coming at a cost he
didn’t imagine he’d have to pay:his integrity.

This Day in History


May 30, 1431: The execution of Joan of Arc. A farmer’s daughter, the teenage
girl became a military leader in the French-English Hundred Years’ War after
receiving commands from heavenly Saints to help save France from British
domination. Burgundian troops captured Joan during the Siege of Compiègne and
handed her over to the English, who subsequently put her on trial for heresy
and sentenced her to death. They burned her body three times to ensure complete
incineration, as if once wasn’t enough.
