Investigation Discovery premiered a three-hour special, “Who Killed Jeffrey Epstein?” on May 31, the first segment in a three-part series, that focused on Epstein’s August 2019 death in federal custody. The series addresses Epstein’s alleged co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell, his links with billionaire Leslie Wexner, founder of the Victoria Secrets clothing line, and others, as well as the non-prosecution deal he was given.
The special followed on the heels of Netflix’s release of “Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich,” a mini-series that draws on a book of the same name by James Patterson.
Promotional material for “Who Killed Jeffery Epstein?” promises that: “… exclusive interviews and in-depth investigations reveal new clues about his seedy underworld, privileged life and controversial death. The three-hour special looks to answer the questions surrounding the death of this enigmatic figure.” Netflix billed its series this way: “Stories from survivors fuel this docuseries examining how convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein used his wealth and power to carry out his abuses.”

Pelosi to Hold Vote on Making Far Left Washington DC a State
As Tucker Carlson once said, every action by the Democrat Party is meant to give the party more power.
Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats will vote in Congress to make the District of Columbia a state.
This comes after a wave of looting and arson across the city.
Democrats want to reward the District of Columbia.
Of course, this would mean two new radical far left senators in the US Senate.

Donald Trump: ‘Wacko’ John Bolton a ‘Liar’ and a ‘Disgruntled Boring Fool’
President Donald Trump on Thursday criticized his former National Security Advisor John Bolton after information from his book criticizing the president leaked to the press.
“Wacko John Bolton’s ‘exceedingly tedious’ (New York Times) book is made up of lies & fake stories,” Trump wrote on Twitter, citing a story from theNew York Times about the contents of his book.
Trump said Bolton was “disgruntled,” after he was fired in September 2019.
“Said all good about me, in print, until the day I fired him,” Trump wrote. “A disgruntled boring fool who only wanted to go to war. Never had a clue, was ostracized and happily dumped. What a dope!”
Trump also reminded his followers on Twitter that former President George W. Bush fired Bolton.
Information from Bolton’s book In the Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir was published by the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Wall Street Journal on Wednesday even though the Justice Department sued to stop it from hitting stores on June 23.
Other media outlets have obtained physical copies of the book.

Don't Reform Police Unions. Abolish Them.
THE NATIONWIDE backlash against police abuses has already had one salutary effect: It has led to greater awareness of the role played by labor unions in protecting bad cops. In the wake of George Floyd's death, calls to reform the powerful police unions have been expressed across the political spectrum.
But the only way to "reform" police unions is to abolish them altogether and end collective bargaining for public-safety employees.
Derek Chauvin, the Minneapolis police officer who killed George Floyd, is a textbook illustration of how unionized police departments shelter cops known to be incompetent or dangerous. Chauvin had been the subject of at least 18 complaints of misconduct over the years, without ever facing any serious discipline. That was typical for Minneapolis — according to The Wall Street Journal, of 2,600 misconduct complaints filed since 2012 with the city's Office of Police Conduct Review, only 12 have resulted in discipline.

ABC Writes Glowing Portrayal of Brooks as Dedicated Family Man, Criminal Record Tells Different Story
ABC News published a glowing piece about Rayshard Brooks, the man killed by former Atlanta police officer Garrett Rolfe after heresisted arrest, assaulted an officer, stole his taser and discharged it, saying he was remembered for his “hard work and dedication to family.”
The news outlet spoke with those who worked with him at a construction company in Toledo, Ohio, and his wife. ThoughABC describes that he was in Ohio “tending to his father.” What's not mentioned, however, is that he had failed to notify his probation officer of his new address and a warrant was issued for his arrest while there.
Additionally, nowhere does the story mention his rap sheet of this 'dedicated' family man, which includes convictions for felony cruelty to children, family battery violence, false imprisonment, interference with custody, and more.
Rayshard Brooks was on probation and faced going back to prison if he was charged with a DUI, DailyMail.com can reveal.
It was the fear of incarceration that likely caused Brooks to panic in the face of imminent arrest and caused him to make a break for it. [...]
The charges to which Brooks pleaded guilty and for which he was still on probation dated back to August 2014 when he was convicted on four counts – False Imprisonment, Simple Battery/Family, Battery Simple and Felony Cruelty/Cruelty to Children.
He was tried in Clayton County and sentenced to seven years on the first count, with one year in prison and six on probation and 12 months for each of the other three counts, sentences to be served concurrently.
His sentence was revised, and he was sent back to prison for 12 months in July 2016 when he violated the terms of his probation.
Brooks had not been in trouble since that year until last December when he went to Ohio without informing his probation officer and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
That warrant was revoked and the case dismissed when he returned to Georgia on January 6. (Daily Mail)

Half-brother of black man found hanged from tree in California killed by deputies in shootout: sheriff
Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies shot and killed the half-brother of Robert Fuller in a shootout related to an alleged kidnapping, sheriffs’ department officials said.
Robert Fuller, a-24-year-old black man, was found hanging in a Southern California park last week. While officials said his death appeared to be a suicide, his family and activists have called for an independent investigation.
Deputies were tracking Fuller’s half-brother, identified as Terron Jammal Boone, for alleged kidnapping, spousal assault and assault with a deadly weapon.
Boone allegedly kidnapped a woman and held her against her will for several days, the sheriff’s department told FOX 11 in Los Angeles.
When authorities attempted to stop Boone’s car in Rosamond, Calif., just north of the Los Angeles County border Wednesday around 4:30 p.m., he opened the car door and started shooting at officers, the department said.
