Right-Wing Media Is Now Falling In Line With Trump On Epstein
Conservative media's outrage over Attorney General Pam Bondi saying she wouldn't release more Jeffrey Epstein files appears to have been short-lived. After President Donald Trump stomped his feet and told his supporters to move on over the weekend, his base seems to have fallen in line. An assessment by the journalism watchdog group Media Matters found that Fox News has largely stopped talking about Epstein over the past two days. By noon on Monday, the network had mentioned Epstein zero times, the group found. That's compared to 46 mentions of former President Joe Biden in that window. The morning wasn't a fluke. By the end of the day, the tracking effort found that the network had racked up 158 mentions of Biden and only eight of Epstein, the disgraced financier who died in jail while awaiting trial on sweeping sex trafficking charges. The pattern continued on Tuesday, Media Matters senior fellow Matt Gertz reported. Fox News didn't comment when asked about the absence of Epstein mentions. The shift follows Trump's lengthy Truth Social post from Saturday, lashing out at his base for their furor over the unreleased Epstein files ― documents many on the right believed would legitimize their conspiracy theories about a 'deep state' coverup, and that both conservatives and liberals believed may expose public figures' connections to Epstein. 'What's going on with my 'boys' and, in some cases, 'gals?'' Trump wrote. 'They're all going after Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is doing a FANTASTIC JOB! We're on one Team, MAGA, and I don't like what's happening.' 'For years, it's Epstein, over and over again,' Trump continued. 'Why are we giving publicity to Files written by Obama, Crooked Hillary, Comey, Brennan, and the Losers and Criminals of the Biden administration.' Laura Ingraham was among the Fox News hosts to pull an about-face. Last week, she said on her show that the Bondi closing the case contributed to the 'confusion' and 'doubt' about the Trump administration's promises to be fully transparent with the Epstein files. She also asked the crowd at Friday's Turning Point USA conference if they were 'satisfied' with the decision, setting off mass boos from the audience. But on her show Monday, Ingraham suddenly seemed to be reprimanding Trump supporters for questioning him, describing the fallout as 'conservative influencers... eating their own about Epstein' while the focus should be on the one-year anniversary of Trump's shooting. Fox News host Bret Baier did bring up the ordeal during Tuesday's episode of 'Special Report,' suggesting he'll keep discussing it. 'This story does not go away here,' he told correspondent David Spunt, who described Trump as 'tamping down the Epstein story.' Another sudden shift came from right-wing activist Charlie Kirk, who spent Friday riling up his followers about the remaining Epstein files days after the Justice Department said it was reversing course and would not be releasing them. 'How many of you think the Epstein thing is a big deal? Raise your hand.' Kirk asked the crowd at his Turning Point USA event, the same one Ingraham attended. 'Every hand has gone up,' he remarked. But Kirk said Monday he'd be moving on for now ― a day after CNN reported that President Donald Trump had called him to quell some of the criticism. 'Honestly, I'm done talking about Epstein for the time being,' Kirk said on his talk show. 'I'm going to trust my friends in the administration. I'm going to trust my friends in the government to do what needs to be done, solve it. Ball's in their hands. I've said plenty this last weekend.' But after that clip from his show went viral, Kirk returned to talking about Epstein on Tuesday's episode and railed against the media for allegedly misrepresenting what he'd said Monday. Kirk said he'd simply needed to focus on updates on Russia, Ukraine and NATO in that episode but reiterated he trusts members of Trump's administration to handle the Epstein files properly. It remains to be seen how Kirk proceeds with the subject, but the back-and-forth suggests these may be choppy waters for MAGA influencers to navigate.

Trump's Big Beautiful Bill: How much money will people in each state save? WH releases interactive map to explore
The White House on Tuesday unveiled an interactive map showing how much Americans across all 50 states are expected to save from US President Donald Trump's newly signed legislation, the One Big, Beautiful Bill Act The MAGA supremo's ambitious bill was signed into law on the Fourth of July after lots of scrutiny. The legislation was championed by Trump since his return to office in January. It delivers sweeping tax cuts and includes provisions to make earlier Trump-era cuts permanent. As part of the rollout, the White House released a state-by-state breakdown showcasing the expected wage boosts, tax exemptions, and savings for seniors and working families, reports Fox News. 'We have officially made the Trump tax cuts permanent,' Trump said during the signing ceremony. 'That's the largest tax cut in the history of our country… After this kicks in, our country is going to be a rocket ship economically.' What the map shows The interactive map focuses on key data points: Real Wage Increase Real Take-Home Pay Increase No Tax on Tips Share Labor Force Benefit Seniors Benefiting from No Tax on Social Security No Tax on Overtime Share Workforce Benefit No Tax on Overtime Potential Share Workforce Benefit Jobs Protected Share Employees in Manufacturing Employers Potentially Eligible for the 199A Deduction Opportunity Zone Jobs Created Opportunity Zone Housing Units Created In California, the most populous state, a family of four with two children could see a real wage increase of $4,900 to $8,800, and a real take-home pay boost of $8,500 to $12,500, according to the data. About 6 million seniors are expected to benefit from the tax exemption on Social Security, and around 4% of the workforce could gain from the no tax on tips provision. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it legal? How to get Internet without paying a subscription? Techno Mag Learn More Undo In Nebraska, residents can expect wage increases of $3,700 to $6,600 and take-home pay boosts of $7,300 to $10,300. Nearly 300,000 seniors may benefit from the Social Security tax break, and 29% of the state's labour force could see gains from the tax exemption on overtime pay. On the East Coast, New Jersey families could see take-home pay increases of $8,600 to $12,700, while New Yorkers may benefit from $8,000 to $11,700 increases. The data regarding these financial aspects is present for all 50 US states on the White House interactive map on their website. Legislation's key points The One Big, Beautiful Bill Act not only locks in permanent individual and business tax cuts from Trump's 2017 tax law, but also introduces new tax breaks, including no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and no tax on Social Security. The bill also repeals certain green energy tax credits introduced under former US President Joe Biden, allocates $350 billion for defence and immigration enforcement, and includes Medicaid reforms. House Speaker Mike Johnson played a crucial role in getting the bill through Congress, though the vote wasn't without resistance. A handful of Republicans, including Senator Rand Paul and Representative Thomas Massie, opposed the measure due to its $5 trillion debt ceiling increase. Tech mogul Elon Musk, once a Trump ally, also publicly opposed the legislation, urging lawmakers to 'kill the bill' over concerns about the rising national debt. White House, Treasury defend savings Trump and US treasury secretary Scott Bessent have defended the bill's impact. 'The bill prevents a $4.5 trillion tax hike on the American people,' Bessent wrote. 'This will allow the average worker to keep an additional $4,000 to $7,200 in annual real wages… and allow the average family of four to keep an additional $7,600 to $10,900 in take-home pay.' 'Add to this the president's ambitious deregulation agenda… these savings are the difference between being able to make a mortgage payment, buy a car, or send a child to college,' he added. A new White House calculator has also been launched to help Americans estimate their personal savings from the bill

Drone surveillance catches kids in dangerous high-speed stunt atop moving subway train in New York City
Three teenagers and one 12-year-old boy were apprehended by police after an NYPD drone captured them riding on top of a train in New York City Thursday passing through multiple stations at a high speed. NYPD drone footage obtained by Fox News Digital shows the four subway surfers — between the ages of 12 and 16 — climbing up the side of the moving northbound 6 express train as it passed beneath the Westchester Avenue Bridge. The minors can then be seen standing up and forming a line, some of them jumping up and down and spreading their arms. The NYPD Technical Assistance Response Unit Drone Team. while conducting anti-subway surfing operations in the area, spotted the surfing and transmitted the four boys' descriptions and photos to transit district officers, according to the NYPD. The train was then stopped at the Parkchester train station in the Bronx, and the young men were taken into custody. "These apprehensions marked the 200th subway surfing apprehension by the Drone Team's operation since deployments began in November of 2023, and 200 lives potentially saved in just the last 20 months," an NYPD spokesperson told Fox News Digital in an email. In 2023, a 15-year-old boy was killed while subway surfing on a train crossing the Williamsburg Bridge in New York City. The teen was standing on top of a northbound J train when he struck his head on a structure and fell below the train.

The Fox News host actually went there.
Greg Gutfeld on Tuesday proposed a shocking way for conservatives like him to deflect from allegations of fascism: make 'Nazi' their n-word. The Fox News host, who didn't do himself any favors in critics' eyes two years ago when he floated civil war because 'elections don't work,' told his colleagues on The Five that it made more sense to embrace the undesirable label rather than run from it, because 'the criticism doesn't mater to us.' 'You know what? I've said this before: we need to learn from the Blacks,' he said, citing 'the way they were able to remove the power from the n-word by using it.'
