Robert Hardman has updated his terrible book, Charles III: New King. New Court. The Inside Story, with three new chapters and a new contract with the Daily Mail. Hardman is a Charles-loyalist more than anything, and all of his stories have the stink of Charles and Camilla’s narratives and outright lies. One of the big headlines from Hardman’s new chapters is that QEII planned on evicting the Duke and Duchess of Sussex from Frogmore Cottage herself. That is never-heard-before lie straight from King Charles. It was one of the most unpopular and cruelest decisions he made in recent years, to evict the Sussexes from their safe home in the UK. The Sussexes had a valid lease and they paid for everything in the renovation of Frogmore. QEII “gave” them Frogmore as a gift. Now Charles would have everyone believe that QEII would have taken it away from them to give to Prince Andrew. That’s not all – Hardman also has some convenient lies about how much “help” was offered to the Duchess of Sussex. More highlights from Hardman’s book:

QEII’s plan for Frogmore: However, it transpires that even [QEII] wanted to find the Duke another home. ‘Had she lived another year, he would have been out,’ says a former adviser to Elizabeth II firmly. ‘It was her plan to move him out, to end the lease for the Sussexes at Frogmore Cottage and to move Andrew in there. It was mainly a money thing, as she could see it was becoming unsustainable.’ Many of the late Queen’s staff were more than happy to make it happen, too, given the Duke’s conduct prior to his disastrous 2019 BBC Newsnight interview and the end of his career in public life. The Queen’s staff had wasted no time annexing his rooms inside Buckingham Palace.

Who will live in Royal Lodge if Andrew finally moves out? Since the Prince and Princess of Wales have shown no interest, for the time being, in moving into what would certainly be a suitable home the question has continued to be asked: who would live at Royal Lodge if the Duke was indeed prevailed upon to leave? An intriguing suggestion began to emerge during the course of this year: what about the King and Queen themselves? ‘The King loves his brother, of course,’ says one senior source. ‘But the Duke is living in an enormous house on his own and it used to be the Sovereign’s house. George VI and Queen Elizabeth never moved out of there.’ Aides are adamant that the King has no wish to take up residence there himself, Queen Camilla even less so. However, he is also determined to ensure that a house with a distinguished regal past is not left mired in uncertainty.

Harry’s visit in February to see his father: The King had been due to leave with the Queen for Sandringham, but delayed his departure so that he could see his son at Clarence House. It was not a long meeting – less than an hour – and the Palace released no details. Crucially, nor did anyone in the Sussex camp. Given the vast amount of awkward baggage to be unpacked following the Duke’s multiple swipes at the monarchy over the previous three years, this was not a moment for anything other than simple, urgent expressions of love and compassion….Within Buckingham Palace it is accepted that the King is open to some sort of rapprochement with the Sussexes – not least because he has barely seen his US-based grandchildren Archie and Lilibet, now aged five and three. And any sort of serious medical diagnosis tends to focus the mind on the passing of time.

Charles is so disciplined about the Sussexes: ‘He always had an iron discipline about not stirring things up with the Sussexes,’ says a former member of staff. ‘It can take a huge effort to do nothing when you’re being criticised.’

Harry stayed at a hotel during his visit in May: The King and his staff had been well aware of Prince Harry’s travel plans, however, to the extent that the monarch had even offered his son accommodation at Buckingham Palace. The Prince had chosen to stay at a hotel instead. ‘We were told it was for security reasons,’ says a member of the King’s staff. ‘I’m not sure you could get anywhere more secure than the Palace. Maybe he was worried about the mice.’ Sources close to the Sussexes explained that any Palace accommodation would, by definition, be inside a high-profile location and, without appropriate ‘security provision’, it would be safer to stay at an anonymous hotel.

They’re still swearing up & down that they offered help to Meghan: Yet some of those very same officials had tried to give both the Duke and Duchess extra support during their brief royal existence. ‘It was Clive [now Sir Clive Alderton, private secretary to the King] who said that if we could get this right for Harry, we’d be creating a blueprint for future younger sons for generations,’ recalls one staffer from those days. ‘And Clive said, ‘These two need more staff.’ And we seconded people from Clarence House, very expert people, to help them, but the Duchess wouldn’t trust them. Those two were offered considerable resource, and then later said that they had been offered no help. And that was completely wrong.’

[From The Daily Mail]

“And Clive said, ‘These two need more staff.’ And we seconded people from Clarence House, very expert people, to help them, but the Duchess wouldn’t trust them.” I know this is false. Clarence House didn’t do jack sh-t to help Meghan in 2018-2019. They tossed Meghan to the Kensington Palace staff, who basically had nervous breakdowns whenever Meghan asked them to complete a simple task. It was so bad for Meghan that QEII “gave” Meghan one of her own trusted advisors, Christopher Geidt, who was once QEII’s private secretary. One of the complaints I had back in 2016-17 was that no one in Windsor-World seemed to understand that Harry needed his own dedicated office and staff. They kept Harry boxed in at Kensington Palace so that William and Kate could hide behind him and take credit for his work and his ideas. Besides, Charles never would have given staff to Harry and Meghan because his big concern was that he (Charles) couldn’t “afford” for Harry to get married, remember?

What else? At this point, I do believe that Harry was offered a room in the palace when he visited in May, and I also believe that the security situation was janky enough that Harry didn’t trust his father or anyone at the palace. As for all of this sh-t about Frogmore and QEII wanting to evict the Sussexes… lmao, again, this is Charles blaming his dead mother for one of his most unpopular decisions.

In January of this year, Robert Hardman released his palace-approved book, Charles III: New King. New Court. The Inside Story. Hardman had a lot of tedious royal gossip, straight from the horse’s mouth (IYKYK). Hilariously, the biggest headline from the book was Hardman initially claiming that Queen Elizabeth II was “furious” and “very angry” that Prince Harry and Meghan named their daughter Lilibet, which was QEII’s family nickname. For a full week or longer, royal commentators lined up to describe QEII’s fury over a baby’s name… only for Hardman to walk it back quickly, because he inadvertently made QEII sound like an a–hole, and he made Buckingham Palace sound like they were a group solely devoted to hating on the Sussexes over every little thing, including their daughter’s name. Well, Hardman is releasing an updated version of the book with three new chapters. His latest tea is that King Charles has stopped giving Prince Andrew an allowance, plus more lies about QEII and the Sussexes.

Prince Andrew has officially been financially cut off by the King, marking a new low in relations between the brothers. An updated biography by acclaimed royal writer Robert Hardman, serialised by the Mail, reveals that despite the Duke of York’s attempts to call the monarch’s bluff, Charles has acted decisively.

In recent weeks he has instructed his Keeper of the Privy Purse, the monarchy’s finance director, to sever his beleaguered younger brother’s annual personal allowance – believed to be in the region of £1 million a year – and no longer pays for his seven-figure private security detail.

‘The duke is no longer a financial burden on the King,’ confirms a source. The King, who has also long made clear his wish to see Andrew move out of his vast 30-room mansion at Windsor, Royal Lodge, has now placed the ball firmly back in his brother’s court. In doing so, he has, Hardman also reveals for the first time, made good on his late mother’s determination to solve the ‘Andrew issue‘ once and for all.

Indeed, impeccably placed sources reveal that had she lived another year, Queen Elizabeth, who had long been accused of being reluctant to take action against her rumoured favourite son, would have forced him to leave his family home and downsize to Frogmore Cottage, the former home of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

Royal insiders have also hit back at suggestions that they failed to help Meghan when she joined the Royal Family, saying she threw their offer back in their faces. They insist, far from throwing the Duchess to the wolves, as she has suggested, they did everything in their power to help her – and it was she who said no. Sources say the King is not against some sort of rapprochement with the Sussexes despite the barrage of criticism he had received. But it has not been an easy process.

When Harry returned to the UK in May the two did not meet. The prince was offered a room at Buckingham Palace but instead chose to stay in a hotel. ‘We were told it was for security reasons,’ says a member of the King’s staff. ‘I’m not sure you could get anywhere more secure than the Palace.’

As for Andrew, it can now be revealed that his attempts to play a dangerous game of high-stakes poker over Royal Lodge against his brother have backfired. Now that the King has effectively called his brother’s bluff, Andrew is going to have to find the money for the upkeep of his vast property, as well as his security detail, with no visible sign of independent income. According to Hardman, this apparently includes the cost of protecting several valuable and historical works of art and pieces of furniture borrowed from the Royal Collection, the treasure trove of antiques held in trust by the monarch on behalf of the nation.

Andrew has repeatedly asserted that he can continue to pay for his own upkeep, claiming to have found ‘other sources of income‘ related to his contacts in international trade, sufficient to cover all his costs. But His Majesty will be watching with interest. ‘If he can find the money, then that is up to him, but if not, he will find that the King does not have unlimited patience,’ adds an insider. Family friends say although the matter has been temporarily resolved, Andrew’s ‘obstinacy’ has ‘soured’ family relationships.

[From The Daily Mail]

These new book chapters are going to be big royal gossip for the next few weeks, so pace yourselves when it comes to fact-checking and yelling. I’ve already seen additional reporting around some of this stuff (which I’ll cover separately, of course), but let’s just keep it to the Mail’s initial coverage for now. Re: Andrew being cut off, he’s said this entire time that he actually had money stored away. No one knows how or where it came from, but I’ve long known/suspected that Andrew never really “paid back” his mother after he “borrowed” millions of dollars to settle out of court with Virginia Giuffre. So, he still has millions from the sale of his Swiss chalet, plus other mysterious funds, I’m sure. Charles trying to haughtily declare “Andrew can support himself” falls flat when you think about how much money Andrew has squirreled away.

The storyline about “had she lived another year, Queen Elizabeth…would have forced [Andrew] to leave his family home and downsize to Frogmore Cottage” is also a hilarious rewrite from Charles and his courtiers. Charles is trying to blame some of his most unpopular decisions on the mother he hated, forgetting that everyone else loved his mother and no one believes that QEII was as petty and short-sighted as Charles. “My mother was totally going to evict Harry & Meghan, she was totally going to cut off her favorite son, I swear!!!” No one believes you, Chaz.

In September, Dave Grohl announced that he fathered a child outside of his marriage. Dave, 55, is currently on his second marriage, to 48-year-old Jordyn Bloom. Dave and Jordyn have three daughters together, the youngest of whom is 10 years old. Soon after Dave’s announcement, People Mag reported that Dave hired a divorce lawyer just before he made his big reveal. I’ve thought this whole time that there was another part to the story, something that had not been revealed yet – for example, the side-chick was considering suing him or going public in some way, or some journalist got a tip about the baby. In the past two months, there’s been little movement though – we don’t know the identity of the side-chick, and while Dave’s marriage seems to be going through a rough patch, no one has filed for divorce. Well, here’s an update:

Dave Grohl and wife Jordyn Blum are taking steps toward a reconciliation. The Foo Fighters rocker, 55, retained a divorce attorney shortly before announcing in September that he’d become the father of a new baby with another woman, a source told PEOPLE at the time — but now, an insider says he’s changed his tune.

“He’s no longer working with a divorce attorney and instead hoping to work things out with his wife,” the insider says.

Though Grohl and Blum, 48, have both been spotted without their wedding rings in recent weeks, the musician said in his initial statement that he and his wife of 21 years would “move forward together” after the shock baby announcement.

A second source tells PEOPLE that the rocker “loves his family,” which includes Blum and their daughters Violet, 18, Harper, 15, and Ophelia, 10, and is doing what he can to keep things intact.

“Dave’s been prioritizing his family,” the source says. “He knows he messed up. It’s one of those situations where you don’t realize what you have until you’re about to lose it. He doesn’t want to lose his family.”

In his statement in September, Grohl wrote that he planned to “be a loving and supportive parent” to his new baby daughter, but was working hard to make things right with his wife and older girls. “I love my wife and children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness,” he wrote.

Though Grohl and Blum have not publicly addressed the state of their marriage, multiple sources told PEOPLE that Blum, co-founder of an interior design firm, has known about the baby “for a while.”

[From People]

It’s interesting to me that someone – Jordyn, perhaps? – is keeping People Magazine abreast of developments. As for Dave and the divorce lawyer… it’s possible that the lawyer was being retained for some other purpose besides “divorce.” Jordyn might have wanted a post-nup in which her three daughters are given more rights to Dave’s estate. Most divorce lawyers are experts in family law, meaning the lawyer could have been working out some logistics with the mother of this outside-the-marriage baby (custodial provisions, child support, etc). It seems normal that Dave would have been consulting a lawyer in recent months, and not everything is about a divorce. That being said, I hope Jordyn does what’s right for her. If she feels like staying and working through it, so be it.

Harrison Ford genuinely loves to work, but I think he’s avoided working at various points in his career simply because he hates promoting his projects. If every promotional spot was, like, the Graham Norton Show, Harrison would probably be more involved in promo. But still, he tries to play the game and when he doesn’t feel like it, he goes full curmudgeon. Harrison is currently promoting the new season of Shrinking, one of his few forays into episodic television. He enjoys the show, he enjoys his character, he loves the writing, and so he’s actually giving interviews to promote it. He recently chatted with GQ, and I was charmed by this piece:

How ‘Shrinking’ fans interact with him: “What they have to say is really unusual in my experience. What they have to say is thank you. They say, “Thank you. We love this show.” They don’t want anything. They don’t want an autograph, they don’t want a picture. They just want to share their pleasure in the experience. That’s something different to what the usual exchange is with a stranger.”

His great run of “dad thrillers” in the 1990s: “It was a very different period in our culture. It was a very different period in the movie business. There was a discernible zeitgeist, and the movies seemed to capture that. It was a street that ran both ways—there was a very close connection between movies and the culture. It was a time when many of our extraordinary filmmakers were still working, the Pollacks and Pakulas and even some guys whose names didn’t start with a P. I was lucky enough to have come up in that period of time, and so I got the chance to work with those guys. To me, that was the extraordinary thing about that time—that I had these incredible guys to work with. It was a great period of my life and I’m really grateful for it.

How those kinds of “adult movies” have basically disappeared: “Actually I feel bad for us. I feel bad that we don’t have these stories around us in the world. I mean, it seems this is a particularly bizarre period of human history, I believe. I certainly hope. I hope that we’ll get through it and begin talking to each other instead of at each other. We will begin to work our way through the international issues and the political issues and all this sh-t soup we’re living in…You can’t sit around talking about how great it was in the past. You’ve just got to make something better in the present. That’s all. I’m not that guy.

On the Red Hulk stuff for Marvel: “I mean, this is the Marvel universe and I’m just there on a weekend pass. I’m a sailor new to this town. Show me the way to go home. I understand the appeal of other kinds of films besides the kind we made in the ’80s and ’90s. I don’t have anything general to say about it. It’s the condition our condition is in, and things change and morph and go on. We’re silly if we sit around regretting the change and don’t participate. I’m participating in a new part of the business that, for me at least, I think is really producing some good experiences for an audience. I enjoy that.

How he chooses his projects at this point of his life: “It’s the quality of writing. It doesn’t matter what the genre is. It doesn’t matter whether it’s on television or in movies. It’s the writing, it’s the story, it’s the character, it’s the emotional experience for an audience or for myself. It’s people that I have some feeling that I want to work with, or it’s a quality opportunity. I suppose I should be sitting on my ass, but I actually love working.”

Getting young people involved in aviation: “It’s a great job and it’s become a field where there’s a great demand for pilots. We’ve been talking about the failure to train American pilots. America trains more foreign pilots than they do American pilots. I’m not being xenophobic here. It’s not about having to fly with American pilots. It’s just that we’ve known for a long time that we needed to train more pilots, and we have done that successfully now. Pilots are making a wonderful living when, 15 years ago, they weren’t doing so well at the beginning of their careers. But it’s a great career, and I just encourage people that are interested in it to give it a go.

On the “death of the movie star” conversation: “Oh, I think it’s rubbish. I don’t think the question is whether or not there are any movie stars. There’s wonderful actors coming up every day. Whether or not they become movie stars is really not the point. If movies need stars, they will find them. I’ve never f–king understood being a movie star. I’m an actor. I tell stories. I’m part of a group of people who work together, collaborate on telling stories. I’m an assistant storyteller. That’s what I am.

[From GQ]

I love what he says about movie stars and the great people coming up – that was incredibly generous of him, even if I think it’s true that there are not many real “movie stars” left. He never thought of himself as a movie star though – he always wanted to be an actor, a storyteller, an artistic collaborator. Harrison’s run in the ‘90s really was unmatched – he made banger after banger, films for adults and some of the greatest dad movies of all time. The thing about Marvel films is one of the better explanations I’ve heard from an actor joining the comic-book movie ranks. He’s just like… this is what was out there, so I’m giving it a shot, maybe someone will enjoy it. I also didn’t know that America trains more foreign pilots than American pilots??

For close to two years, the Heritage Foundation has been suing the Department of Homeland Security to get their hands on Prince Harry’s visa application. Heritage claims they need to see Harry’s visa documents to determine if Harry “lied” about drug use, and if he lied, Heritage would then lead the charge to deport Harry. Lying on a visa application is a really serious thing and it could absolutely lead to deportation. So it’s curious that Heritage doesn’t have that same energy for a South African MAGA douche who pals around with Vladimir Putin.

Elon Musk could have his United States citizenship revoked and be exposed to criminal prosecution if he lied to the government as part of the immigration process, according to legal experts.

Musk, who was born and raised in South Africa and later emigrated to Canada before eventually settling in the US and becoming a citizen, has spent more than $100 million to support Donald Trump and his nativist presidential campaign, and has personally demonized immigrants. A recent Bloomberg analysis found, for example, that Musk has posted around 1,300 times on X this year about immigration and voter fraud. Many of those posts promote the “great replacement” conspiracy theory, which falsely holds that Democrats seek to replace white voters with unauthorized immigrants whose votes they control, and depicts immigrants as dangerous lawbreakers.

Earlier this week, though, The Washington Post reported that Musk was himself an immigrant who had apparently broken the law. In the 1990s, he worked illegally in the United States, according to the Post, which cited “former business associates, court records and company documents.” In 1995, according to the Post, Musk was admitted to graduate school at Stanford but didn’t enroll in classes, instead working on an online services startup that would eventually be known as Zip2. (Stanford did not reply to requests for comment.) In 1996, the Post reported, investors made a funding agreement contingent on Musk and his brother Kimbal—who has stated that the brothers were “illegal immigrants”—obtaining authorization to work in the US within 45 days. “Their immigration status was not what it should be for them to be legally employed running a company in the US,” Zip2 board member Derek Proudian told the Post.

Musk denies that he ever worked illegally in the US. (His lawyer, Alex Spiro, and a spokesperson for X, which he owns, did not reply to requests for comment.) He claims that in 1995, as a student, he was in the US on a J-1 visa, which then “transitioned” to an H1-B visa. As the Post reported, though, in a 2005 email that was entered into evidence in a since-closed defamation lawsuit in California, he wrote that he had applied to Stanford because he otherwise had “no legal right to stay in the country.” Musk then reportedly didn’t enroll at Stanford, instead working on the project that would become Zip2.

Someone present in the US on a student visa who didn’t enroll in courses would have had no right to work at the time and would have had to leave the country, according to experts WIRED consulted. (He did ultimately receive work authorization in 1997.)

Overstaying a student visa was, and to a much lesser extent still is, relatively common. Working without authorization and lying about it during the immigration process would be, however, a black-letter violation of US law carrying significant penalties, albeit one enforced fairly rarely, say experts.

[From Wired]

Several weeks ago, Musk said that if Donald Trump doesn’t win, he (Musk) will get thrown in jail. There’s an abundance of evidence of Musk’s criminality, from the Putin collusion to his Starlink bullsh-t harming Ukraine, to his election interference on behalf of Trump. But what if his citizenship was all based on lies? LMAO. Deport him.

In 2022, Prince Harry attended the Super Bowl with his cousin Princess Eugenie. The Super Bowl was held in LA that year, and a good time was had by all. Months later, Prince William and Kate traveled to Boston for the Earthshot Awards, and Kensington Palace would not shut up about how this would be “William’s Super Bowl moment.” It was widely mocked at the time, especially since the prize ceremony that year was poorly attended and a giant nothingburger. Going from memory, William and his staffers mostly avoided the Super Bowl references last year, when Earthshot went to Singapore. But they’re back this year. Kensington Palace organized several “Earthshot previews” in friendly media outlets, and wouldn’t you know, the Super Bowl is mentioned frequently:

Prince William is preparing for his “Superbowl moment” — his annual star-studded Earthshot Prize Awards ceremony, which promises to be even bigger (and greener!) this year.

A vast, reusable Superdome arena will seat 2,000 people for the fourth iteration of the Prince of Wales’ Earthshot Prize Awards, the centerpiece of William’s visit to South Africa, which begins Monday, Nov. 4. The green carpet at this year’s event is set to be the longest ever seen, organizers predict.

It is on that carpet in Cape Town, South Africa on Wednesday, Nov. 6, that perhaps the biggest impact will be had: The Earthshot Prize hopes to highlight how fast fashion has brought damaging consequences to Africa, where millions of garments are buried in landfills every year.

Hosted by Nigerian TV presenter Ebuka Obi-Uchendu and South African rapper and host Nomuzi Mabena, the 90-minute pre-show green carpet, which is being broadcast live on YouTube for the first time, will have a focus on dressing to celebrate sustainably, says Hannah Jones, CEO of The Earthshot Prize.

[From People]

Hello Magazine, GB News and the Daily Mail also prominently featured “Super Bowl moment” in their preview coverage of William’s trip next week. It’s sad, honestly. He’s too stupid (??) and unimaginative to compare this to an actual awards show, like the “Oscars of environmental prizes” or “the Nobel Awards for green tech.” He’s so sick with jealousy for Harry’s life and so needy of American attention, he’s screaming “THIS IS LIKE THE SUPER BOWL.”

Other than Kamala Harris’s team, I’m not sure who watched or listened to JD Vance’s interview with Joe Rogan on Thursday. Kamala HQ did more to spread clips of the interview than any other social media account. In the final days, it definitely seems like Harris’s campaign is like “no, listen to what these men are actually saying.” For the Trump campaign, Vance’s interview was probably intended as a do-over, considering Trump’s Rogan interview was such a catastrophe. The only reason Trump’s Swiss-cheese-brain utterances on Rogan’s show weren’t headline news for days is because few people cared enough to listen to the whole damn thing. I assume the same is true of this Vance interview.

Vance suggested that wealthy parents might go so far as to coerce their children to undergo gender surgeries to get into better colleges and universities.

“If you are a middle-class or upper-middle class white parent, and the only thing that you care about is whether your child goes into Harvard or Yale, obviously that pathway has become a lot harder for a lot of upper-middle class kids,” he said, adding that “the one way that those people can participate in the DEI bureaucracy in this country is to be trans.”

Vance later argued that he wouldn’t be surprised if Trump won “the normal gay guy vote because again, they just wanted to be left the hell alone.”

Vance told Rogan that he was mini golfing with his family in Ohio when he learned that Trump had been shot in the ear during his Butler, Pa. rally in June.

“I actually thought they had killed him because when you first see the video he grabs his ear and then he goes down,” Vance recalled after seeing the video of Trump’s July 13 rally. “I’m like, ‘Oh my God, they just killed him.’ At first I was so pissed, but then I go into like fight or flight mode. I grab my kids up, throw them in the car, go home and load all my guns. And basically stand like a sentry in our front door, and that was my reaction to it.”

[From USA Today]

Ah, yes, every middle-class white parent is like “my child must become trans to get into Harvard.” That’s absolutely 100% a thing which is happening all over the country, thanks, JD. The sh-t about Vance racing home from mini-golf to load his guns when Trump was “shot” is a bonkers story too. As for the “normal gay guy vote” – lmao, Vance thinks he appeals to gay men, doesn’t he?

Some clips of Vance’s interview:

Rogan: Roe was the law of the land and all of a sudden that had been taken away and you have these men trying to dictate what women can and cannot do with their bodies

Vance: Yeah, yeah… but you have women who go too far and try to celebrate it

Rogan: Very few do that pic.twitter.com/Yb7xmPMq74

— Kamala HQ (@KamalaHQ) October 31, 2024

Rogan: The concern is men are making decisions on what women can do. Some states have extreme laws that put women in vulnerable positions and if they go to another state, they could then be prosecuted. It’s concerning

Vance: I haven’t heard of this as something that actually… pic.twitter.com/fzjMEMyML6

Yeah, I don’t even know what to say about this. I can’t even keep up with the sheer volume of “bad” stories about and for Donald Trump at this point. But let’s get into this – so, you know how Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein were super-tight? You know how Epstein used Mar-a-Lago as a hunting ground to prey on girls? You know how Trump and Epstein used to party together? You know how Epstein was arrested by the feds and Trump immediately panicked and sent his Attorney General to speak to Epstein face-to-face in jail and Epstein died mysteriously not long after that? Well, according to journalist Michael Wolff, he has hours of Epstein tapes where Epstein talks about how he’s still in communication with Trump when Trump was in the White House. Epstein also told Wolff that he had photos of Trump with underage girls.

Michael Wolff, the explosive chronicler of Donald Trump’s four years in the White House, has released what he says is a recording of Jeffrey Epstein, who died in 2019, discussing Trump’s then-White House team in detail. Wolff released the tape on his podcast, Fire and Fury. He says it was made in a restaurant in 2017, most probably in the SoHo branch of Ladurée, a patisserie in Manhattan. Epstein can be heard speaking over the din of diners.

“His people fight each other,” Epstein tells Wolff on the recording, “and then he [Trump] poisons the well outside. He will tell ten people ‘Bannon’s a scumbag’ and ‘Priebus is not doing a good job’ and ‘Kellyanne has a big mouth’—what do you think? Jamie Dimon [CEO of JPMorgan Chase] says that you’re a problem and I shouldn’t keep you. And I spoke to [financier] Carl Icahn. And Carl thinks I need a new spokesperson. So Kelly[anne]—even though I hired Kellyanne’s husband—Kellyanne is just too much of a wildcard. And then he tells Bannon, you know I really want to keep you but Kellyanne hates you.”

The recording seems to show that Epstein and Trump were close enough for the disgraced sex offender to know how Trump ruled his White House: by dividing and conquering his staff.

Jeffrey Epstein showed off photos of Donald Trump with “topless young women” sitting in his lap, the controversial author Michael Wolff has alleged. [Epstein] had about half a dozen pictures which showed Trump by the pool with multiple young women, Wolff claimed on his podcast, Fire & Fury, Thursday. They were taken in the “late 90s” at Epstein’s Palm Beach home, where he victimized dozens of underage girls along with his procurer, Ghislaine Maxwell, Wolff said.

Wolff alleged that they were in Epstein’s safe, which the FBI seized when they raided his homes in New York and Palm Beach in July 2019. The massive haul of evidence taken by the feds has never been made public–and while prosecutors disclosed after the raid that they had “hundreds of photos of girls and young women,” they have never offered any more details of them.

While I have issues with Wolff and I definitely think it’s gross/weird that he waited this long to make this reveal, I’m not really surprised by any of this information. It sounds credible, it’s believable that Trump and Epstein were still in contact as late as 2017/2018. It’s believable that Trump abused girls at Epstein’s Florida compound. It’s believable that Epstein bragged about the kompromat he used to have on Trump. News at seven – birds of a feather flock together.

Michael Wolff, the explosive chronicler of Donald Trump’s four years in the White House, has released what he says is a recording of Jeffrey Epstein, who died in 2019, discussing Trump’s then White House team in detail.https://t.co/Uvt8g75KQY pic.twitter.com/VyM3GGWVFF

King Charles is supposed to be “the Defender of the Faith” of the Anglican Church. He’s always seen religion as more of a buffet though – for years, he’s legitimately done a lot of interfaith dialogue, and he’s always been pretty respectful of Britain’s multifaith society. So imagine my surprise at this story. Apparently, back in the 1990s, Charles was concerned about political correctness run amok in many Christian sects, and he thought the Orthodox Church was the only sect not corrupted by wokeism. Oh, Charles is like THAT??

The King once praised the Orthodox Church as the only Christians who are “not corrupted by loathsome political correctness”, a newly uncovered letter has revealed. In private correspondence from 1998, the then Prince of Wales admitted he felt more drawn to the “timeless traditions” of the Orthodox Church as he grew older.

Writing to his friend Dudley Poplak, the late interior designer who worked closely with the Royal family, the King said: “Personally, the older I get, the more I am drawn to the great, timeless traditions of the Orthodox Church.” He added: “They are the only ones that have not been corrupted by loathsome political correctness.”

The King, who became Supreme Governor of the Church of England upon ascending the throne like his mother before him, has always had strong ties to the Greek Orthodox Church. His father, the late Prince Philip, was baptised a Greek Orthodox, although he later converted to Anglicanism before marrying Princess Elizabeth, the future Queen. To mark his paternal heritage, the monarch had a choir perform Psalm 71 in Greek at his Coronation last May. He has also been seeking support and spiritual advice from Archimandrite Ephraim, a Greek Orthodox monk, in the wake of his cancer diagnosis earlier this year.

In 2004, it was claimed that he was so enamoured with the Orthodox faith that he adorned a section of his Highgrove home with prized Byzantine icons, many said to originate from the Mount – the Orthodox world’s holiest site. Greek Orthodox Church worship focuses more on traditional sacrament and sacred scriptures as opposed to preaching and prayer.

The newly uncovered letter comes as the Church of England has faced accusations of being consumed by political correctness and failing to stand up for Christian values over the past 20 years. The Church has come under criticism for its diversity, equality and inclusion initiatives and, last year, faced scrutiny for the establishment of a £100 million fund to “address past wrongs of slavery” during a time of financial crisis among parishes.

Imagine being mad about the Anglican Church’s DEI policies. Jesus preached DEI, how woke!! As for Charles’s love of the Orthodox Church… I suspect that he gets all of that from his father. Again, it wouldn’t be a big deal – I certainly wouldn’t give a sh-t – if this was Chuck Battenberg, random German-British guy. But it looks more and more like the Windsors have no interest in the Anglican Church anymore. The king would prefer Orthodoxy and the heir isn’t religious whatsoever.
