King Charles arrives in US to discuss Iran war and maybe even Islam

L-R: Queen Camilla, sans hijab, King Charles, sans head rag,
President Trump and Melania Trump

The state visit, by far the most high-profile and consequential of Charles' reign, marks the 250th anniversary of the US Declaration of Independence from British rule.

President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump welcome Britain's King Charles and Queen Camilla on the day of an afternoon tea and McDonald's at the White House. 

Britain's King Charles and Queen Camilla touched down in the United States on Monday for a four-day state visit. They were greeted by self-proclaimed royal fan Donald Trump, even as the president continues to have some very public differences with the British government over the war in Iran.

This whole production is easily the biggest and most important trip of Charles' time on the throne. It celebrates 250 years since we told the British to pound sand with the Declaration of Independence, and it is the first visit by a British monarch to America in two decades.

The royal couple landed at Joint Base Andrews, where diplomatic types, state officials, federal bigwigs, and British embassy staff rolled out the welcome mat. Some kids from British military families stationed here even handed over flowers. From there it was straight to the White House for the full dog-and-pony show. 

Trump and Melania greeted them warmly. There were cheek kisses from the First Lady with the king and queen, firm handshakes from the president, a quick pose for the cameras, and then everyone headed inside for private tea . . . and did someone say 'McDonald's?'

The rest of the week features a Tuesday address to Congress, a lavish state dinner back at the White House, and a Wednesday jaunt up to New York City. All of this is happening while Washington remains a bit jumpy after the White House Correspondents' Association dinner shooting on Saturday.

Trump has always been an unabashed fan of the British royal family and has regularly called Charles a "great man." That said, he has had some sharp disagreements with Prime Minister Keir Starmer's government.

Starmer is probably hoping this visit papers over the cracks and rescues the "special relationship," which is currently in the worst shape it has seen since the Suez Crisis in 1956. The long-planned trip has gotten tangled up in a nasty political fight between the two countries over the US-Israeli war on Iran. Trump has made no secret of his deep displeasure with the British for not backing the offensive.

The 77-year-old king, who is still battling cancer, will address the US Congress on Tuesday. He will be only the second British monarch to do so.

Tea, crumpets, and McDonald's

After that the royals head to New York City to commemorate the victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks ahead of the 25th anniversary. Camilla will also mark the centenary of the Winnie the Pooh stories. The trip wraps up in Virginia, where Charles will meet with folks doing conservation work. That is a nice little hat tip to his decades of environmental lecturing.

It is not known if he plans to spend time alone, but he did inquire as to the direction of Mecca. 

Britain's ambassador to the US, Christian Turner, said the visit would highlight the shared history, sacrifice, and common values between the two countries. He added that the approach would be very British: "Keep calm, carry on."

Trump has dialed back his criticism of Britain on the Iran issue in recent days. Even so, an internal Pentagon email floated the idea of reviewing the US position on Britain's claim to the Falkland Islands as payback for the lack of support. That certainly did not help the mood. 

One topic Charles will be working overtime to dodge is the Jeffrey Epstein mess. Royal sources say it simply is not possible for the couple to meet any of Epstein's victims during the trip, despite requests, because it could mess with potential criminal cases.

Charles' brother, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, has seen his reputation and royal status torched by his ties to the late sex offender who supposedly committed suicide. The former Prince Andrew is facing police inquiries over those connections. 

He has denied any wrongdoing, but there are photos.

Dems might regret what they asked for re: Epstein files

Bill Clinton and company

The Justice Department's latest Epstein file dump has landed, and guess who's splashing around front and center like it's 1999 all over again? None other than Bubba himself, Bill Clinton, caught in a series of cozy snaps with the late pedophile financier that are raising eyebrows from here to Little Rock.

We're talking photos of the 79-year-old former president lounging in a hot tub, shirtless, arms behind his head, with an unidentified woman whose face is conveniently blacked out right at waist level. Other gems show him frolicking in a swimming pool alongside Epstein's convicted madam Ghislaine Maxwell (you know, the one doing 20 years for sex trafficking), vacationing in the UK, jet-setting to Brunei and Thailand in shiny silk shirts, and even crashing the 2002 wedding of Moroccan King Mohammed VI. There's Clinton grinning in Churchill's WWII war room, cozying up to Mick Jagger at dinner (with a redacted lady in between), and posing on a plane with the likes of Michael Jackson.

Naked Bill 

The heavily redacted trove, dropped late on a Friday, puts Clinton prominently on display, while President Trump barely gets a mention beyond an old check photo that's been floating around forever. Democrats are whining about incomplete compliance, but come on.One former Clinton aide didn't mince words: "This is his reckoning. I mean, if you turn on CNN, that’s what they are talking about. I’ve gotten a million texts about it," said one former Clinton aide.

"People are like, 'I can't believe he was in a hot tub. Who's the woman in there?' She's at, you know, body level. I mean, it's, like, unbelievable. It's just shocking."

The ex-aide said Clinton's heavily documented interactions with the pedophile are likely to shape public opinion after a yearlong feeding frenzy of conspiracy theories about powerful men who may have gotten away with misconduct.

"[Clinton] is Prince Andrew… He's kinda done. He was already done before, but now he’s even more so," the person said, comparing the two once-powerful men.

"People have to be brought to justice for if they did these things, there's no question about it." Clinton's camp is firing back, of course, insisting it's all a deflection: "The White House hasn't been hiding these files for months only to dump them late on a Friday to protect Bill Clinton,' a Clinton spokesperson told the Daily Mail.

"This is about shielding themselves from what comes next, or from what they'll try and hide forever. So they can release as many grainy 20-plus-year-old photos as they want, but this isn’t about Bill Clinton. Never has, never will be. Even Susie Wiles said Donald Trump was wrong about Bill Clinton.

"There are two types of people here," the Clinton spokesman said. "The first group knew nothing and cut Epstein off before his crimes came to light. The second group continued relationships with him after. We’re in the first. No amount of stalling by people in the second group will change that. Everyone, especially MAGA, expects answers, not scapegoats."

Sure, whatever helps you sleep at night. But these images aren't going away anytime soon, and neither is the stench of Clinton's Epstein hangouts. 

Be careful what you wish for, Democrats.

BREAKING: Jeffrey Epstein allegedly blackmailed Bill Gates over reported affair with Russian woman

The late, not so great, Jeffrey Epstein allegedly threatened Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, another not so great tech billionaire, with exposing him about an affair Gates allegedly had with a Russian card player, according to the Wall Street Journal. 

"Mr. Gates met with Epstein solely for philanthropic purposes," a spokeswoman for Gates told the WSJ, hoping they would believe her. "Having failed repeatedly to draw Mr. Gates beyond these matters, Epstein tried unsuccessfully to leverage a past relationship to threaten Mr. Gates."

Gates met Russian bridge player Mila Antonova in 2010 at a bridge tournament. She was a fetching woman in her 20s and Gates was a homely, albeit bright man in his mid-50s. The alleged future bed partners played against each other at the tournament, according to the Journal. 

Antonova is originally from Mother Russia, but moved to the U.S. and began working as a software engineer in Silicon Valley, as per her LinkedIn account.

She went public about meeting Gates in a 2010 video where she said she "didn't beat" Gates, but "tried to kick him with my leg." Gates is known to be a lover of bridge and an attempted lover of women not his who are not his wife.

Epstein, of course, was known to bring wealthy and important men to his so called Fantasy Island on his "Lolita Express" private jet to hook up with underage girls. Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Donald Trump, Chris Tucker, the gay blade Kevin Spacey, and violinist Itzhak Perlman, to name a few.

Anyway, after meeting Gates, Ms. Antonova reached out to potential donors to back an online venture she wanted to start that teaches people how to play bridge. She contacted Gates confidant Boris Nikolic who connected her with Epstein, according to documents.

Then in November 2013, she and Nikolic reportedly met with Epstein in his New York City townhouse to pitch a proposal to attempt to raise half a million dollars. The WSJ citing Antonova reported that Epstein did not donate to the proposal named "BridgePlanet."

"I deeply regret that I ever met Epstein," Nikolic highlighted to the outlet. "His crimes were despicable. I never saw anything like his illegal behavior. My heart goes out to his victims and their families."

In November 2014, Antonova stayed at an Epstein provided apartment but said she "didn’t interact with him or with anyone else while there." It was that year when she decided to fold her hand and become a software engineer and sought out donors to help pay for programming classes rather than do what most people do, which is to either take out a student loan, or pay for their education themselves.

"Epstein agreed to pay and he paid directly to the school. Nothing was exchanged. I don’t know why he did that," she said, the outlet reported. "When I asked, he said something like, he was wealthy and wanted to help people when he could."

And if you believe that, you might also believe that Osama bin Laden attended his son's Bar Mitzvah.

Gates and Epstein had met a handful of times before Epstein's non-suicide in 2019. Gates being outed now regrets ever having had anything to do with Epstein and his girlfriend Ghislaine, whose name nobody knows how to pronounce.

In 2017, years after Gates' allegedly ended his affair with Antonova and threw her to the proverbial curb, Epstein emailed him about her, sources with knowledge of the incident told WSJ. 

She denied providing any information to WSJ about Gates specifically, the outlet noted.

Epstein reportedly asked Gates to reimburse him for the funds used to cover Antonova's software programming classes. Gates did not send a payment, according to Gates' spokeswoman.

"Mr. Gates had no financial dealings with Epstein," the spokeswoman claimed with a straight face.

Oops! Dershowitz accuser admits she 'may have made a mistake'

You don't blow your nose in Superman's cape and you don't mess around with Alan Dershowitz if you know what's good for you. 

In 2014 Virginia Giuffre claimed that famous law professor Alan Dershowitz had sex with her when she was a minor, a claim that Dershowitz has repeatedly and vehemently denied it ever happened. 

Now Giuffre has said that she "may have made a mistake" in her accusation. 

You may recall Giuffre first accused Jeffrey Epstein of sexually abusing her, which has been verified. But she claimed that Epstein had also trafficked her to Dershowitz on "Pedophile Island," which Epstein owned and entertained many famous people such as Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, Donald Trump, John Glenn, Itzhak Perlman, and even Kevin Spacey, among others. 

“I have long believed that I was trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein to Alan Dershowitz,” Giuffre said in a joint statement. “However, I was very young at the time, it was a very stressful and traumatic environment, and Mr. Dershowitz has from the beginning consistently denied these allegations. I now recognize I may have made a mistake in identifying Mr. Dershowitz. This litigation has been very stressful and burdensome for me and my family, and we believe it is time to bring it to an end and move on with our lives.”

In the statement, Dershowitz said, “As I have said from the beginning, I never had sex with Ms. Giuffre.”

“I have nevertheless come to believe that at the time she accused me she believed what she said. Ms. Giuffre is to be commended for her courage in now stating publicly that she may have been mistaken about me,” he added. “She has suffered much at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein, and I commend her work combatting the evil of sex trafficking. I also now believe that my allegations that David Boies engaged in an extortion plot and in suborning perjury were mistaken.”

Dershowitz spoke on the Megyn Kelly show and announced the end of the lawsuits, adding that no payments have been issued.

“The matter is over,” he said. “She has now acknowledged that she may have made a mistake in recognizing me or in identifying me, so I’m very gratified, of course.”

Dershowitz was friends with Epstein in the past and defended him after his first arrest and charge of sex trafficking. In 2008, he reportedly assisted in getting Epstein an easy plea deal. This was the reason he had gone to Epstein's island and personally, I believe him.

Giuffre has been part of several legal actions involving Jeffrey Epstein, including Prince Andrew. She accused him of raping her when she was a minor and in February, the lawsuit ended in a cash settlement. The scumcrumpet Duke of York said that he "regrets his association with Epstein and commends the bravery of Ms. Giuffre and other survivors in standing up for themselves and others."

But mostly he regrets having been caught with his royal pants down.

Giuffre was also involved in legal action against Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s associate and girlfriend, who was recently given a twenty-year prison sentence and is said to have made friends with the jailhouse "muscle."

Prince Andrew worries about 'complete financial ruin' from legal costs

Prince Andrew is extremely worried that his legal costs for his Lolita Island sex-capades with Virginia Roberts Giuffre, is going to leave him penniless as his legal bills soar. He has even been stripped of his military titles and royal patronages, but at least he hasn't been "Epsteined" in a prison cell. [Where were the Clintons the day Epstein allegedly 'committed suicide'?]

If things go as they appear to he heading, Giuffre, who was underage at the time Andrew allegedly committed statutory rape, will, with the help of his lawyers, be taking the Duke of York to the royal cleaners.

“Until very recently it appears the absolute enormity of this case and the consequences he faces has not hit him,” a source told the New York Post. “Now the bills are mounting up and the possibility of a settlement, or even worse a judgment against him, is being widely discussed; he fears complete financial ruin.Virginia Roberts Giuffre’s lawsuit says she was forced to have sex with Prince Andrew on multiple occasions.

“There is a very real prospect of him being completely broke.” How not very sad indeed if he's guilty.

Andrew has denied the allegations which, if you believe him, makes you a person who would believe Joe Biden is a very stable genius. His legal costs and PR fees could reach up to $3 million. And he may need to spend another $13.6 million to settle the case with Giuffre. 

Ms. Giuffre asserts in the Manhattan federal lawsuit that she was forced to have sex with Andrew thrice, starting when she was 17.

Speaking of money troubles, Andrew owes $8.2 million to a French socialite Isabelle de Rouve, who sold a Swiss chalet to him and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson [aka Fergie] in 2014. Andrew sold the chalet for $23 million.

Andrew was told in person by Queen Elizabeth that he will no longer be known as His Royal Highness but henceforth will be called "Epstein Bro."

“Andrew thought, indeed he was advised, that this would all go away in time, and neither has happened, leaving him facing an extraordinary uphill battle to even salvage any crumb of his reputation,” a source told the Mirror.

The queen will "not assist" her son financially, and Princes William and Charles are "furious" over Andrew's scandal. The queen will, however, pay for Andrew's security detail, which reportedly comes to over $410,000 a year.

Ghislaine Maxwell plays 'Musical Cells' to avoid being "Epsteined"

Ghislaine Maxwell's assassin might be hired by Bill Clinton, or President Trump, or Prince Andrew, or Woody Allen, Les Wexner, Kevin Spacey, Chris Tucker, and the list goes on. Even the late Stephen Hawking visited Jeffrey Epstein's "Pedophile Island," but it's doubtful he went there for the same reason that, say, Bill Clinton did.

But personally, I suspect Adam Schiff is the one who needs to be closely observed--just look into his eyes--are those the peepers of an innocent man?

To avoid being "offed" in a similar manner to what may or may not have happened to Jeffrey Epstein, Maxwell, who is lodging at the Metropolitan Detention Center, is being moved from "cell to cell" in the Brooklyn slammer, over fears someone will do her in before she stands trial and takes people down with her, but not the way they might desire it.

The 58-year-old British socialite is being forced to wear paper clothes and sleep on a bare mattress to prevent her from hanging herself, like Jeffrey Epstein was alleged to have done. But most people with at least two brain neurons to rub together don't believe he committed suicide.

Now prison officials are so “terrified someone will try to kill her” that they are moving her around inside the prison more frequently than Michael Moore's mealtimes.

“She is being moved from cell to cell and sometimes has a cellmate, sometimes not,” an insider source told The Daily Mail newspaper.

“Jeffrey Epstein died behind bars and they are terrified someone will try to kill Ghislaine,” the source said.

There is also fears over a coronavirus outbreak in the prison system “which could kill her,” the source warned.

After the paper clothes safety precaution, Maxwell is now in prison regulation khaki shirt and pants, the report said, and she looks like "Who Did It And Ran." Her hair has grown long and her nails are unkempt. She looks "far from the perfectly groomed socialite seen in photographs," the source told the Mail.

“She was in deep shock at first, but she is getting better each day. She is not a whiner or complainer,” the insider said. Yes, like she was for Epstein, Ghislaine is a real trooper in the joint.

Her phone calls are limited to 15 minutes, with a maximum of 300 minutes per month — and she is banned from having any ‘nude or sexually suggestive’ photos, especially those of minors with whom she is alleged to have trafficked for Epstein.

Maxwell, who is facing four counts of sex trafficking and two counts of perjury, was transferred to the facility after her arrest in a New Hampshire hideaway. She is expected to be arraigned on Tuesday.

People involved with Maxwell and Epstein have created their own fertilizer company.

Ghislaine Maxwell had her email hacked.Uh oh-clients might be exposed in a different way this time

Ghislaine Maxwell was supposedly the late Jeffrey Epstein's friend but not his pimp allegedly. Epstein was a rich guy who was arrested in New York on sex trafficking charges and mysteriously committed suicide while in custody.

Maxwell has been accused by many of Epstein's victims as the person responsible for getting him girls and adult women who were then sexually assaulted by Epstein and his powerful friends.

As Epstein's alleged madame, she is believed to have critical information about many of those powerful male "clients" who allegedly abused or assaulted girls. She is also believed to be under investigation by law enforcement authorities for her alleged role.

"Airmiles Andy" with Epstein's women

When it came to light that on Thursday her personal emails were hacked, people-- such as former president Bill Clinton, Kevin Spacey, Chris Tucker, Prince "Airmiles Andy" Andrew, and hundreds, if not thousands, of others whose names may ring a bell--may have quaked in fear over the possibility that damaging information could be released to the public.

Ghislaine Maxwell's personal emails have been hacked, and damaging information, including the names of individuals linked to Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking case, are at risk of being publicly released. https://t.co/F7ajdgD37Z

“The revelation was made in a letter filed by the British socialite’s lawyers in the defamation case brought against her by Jeffrey Epstein accuser Virginia Guiffre,” The Daily Mail reported. “The letter was sent by Maxwell’s attorney, Ty Gee, on December 5 to New York federal court Judge Loretta A. Preska but made public last week. The letter addresses the materials that should remain sealed or redacted in the case.”

I can just hear Wild Bill Clinton saying to himself, "What a revoltin' development this is."

Beyond the emails, there’s more information that Maxwell’s’ attorneys are fighting to prevent from coming out in court – thousands of other documents that have “damaging new sex claims about Epstein’s vast network of celebrity friends.”

So even if the emails aren’t leaked, some of this information is likely to come out anyway.

The Telegraph also revealed that Maxwell, in line with Hillary Clinton, had been using a secret email server.

After the Epstein case blew up in August, Maxwell sold her home in Manhattan and it’s not clear where she is now.


Remember, a person is innocent unless proven guilty . . . except for President Trump, according to the left.
