ERIC BLANC—One of Booker’s main financial backers, Whitney Tilson, was honest about the profit motivations for large hedge-fund investors like himself. Charter schools, he explained to the New York Times, are the ideal philanthropic opportunity for such business leaders because “[h]edge funds are always looking for ways to turn a small amount of capital into a large amount of capital.”
PHILIP GIRALDI—After thirteen months in country club jail in Palm Beach, Epstein was released. At his mansion in New York City, he subsequently had an artist paint a mural of himself in jail, evidently as an insider joke for those who knew about his time behind bars. End of story? Not exactly, even though Epstein is now dead. But the key questions go unanswered including was he a spy for Israel? And what about the Krischer-Dershowitz connection that kept him from being punished commensurate with his crimes?
PHILIP A. FARRUGGIO—When you tune into that idiot box just remember that you are viewing a club of super rich people. It does not matter if it is news, politics, sports or any type of entertainment… these folks do NOT have a clue as to what you and your family and friends are up against each and every day. But above all, EVEN if they knew, in detail, what ordinary folks go through every day, chances are extremely high they would not care. Stunted or non-existent empathy is a prequalifier for this entire class of faux representatives, their billionaire puppetmasters, and the meretricious journos and pundits burnishing and propping up the legitimacy of their rotten system.
CAITLIN JOHNSTONE—It is common knowledge that the White House has been infiltrated by the Kremlin using a complex scheme involving hackers, Facebook memes, Trump Tower, and urinating Russian prostitutes. All of America’s problems began at that time, whether they be racism, gun violence, deportations, Republican Party corruption, or political divisiveness.
