I'm 18 and a self dedicated House in Habit super fan. Every night at dinner I give my parents a run down on all things politics and pop culture- courtesy of your fantastic coverage. My dad is hooked. Thank you for your brilliant work. I am obsessed & inspired! 🫶🏻

You’re not lying about the stylings / grooming habits of these circles! I’ve been in politics for years and in 2016 I went to the Fox News debate in Detroit then a Bernie Sanders rally in Northern Michigan, I’ve laughed about it ever since. The debate was at the Fox theatre - furs, diamonds and pearls all glam and old money. Pure class aside from the bikers behind us throwing water bottles at the stage and the would be president of the United States taking about the size of his dick to the abject horror of the rest of the crowd. The next day the Bernie rally was in an old roller skating rink and absolutely reeked from the natural deodorant, unwashed hair and stale Patagonias ripening in the humidity of the packed crowd. Young progressives waiting in line for 3 hours in the cold and snow wearing nothing but soggy $5 ballet flats and a Torrid skater dress with no jacket. Seeing the difference within 24 hours was really jarring.

I am soooo here for this!

I remember in November of 2021, when masks were abundant, restaurants were all restricted to outside dining in cold, empty parking lots, and cities were being occupied. We had to stand 6 feet apart, order our groceries to be delivered, and everything was “dangerous”. I felt so sad and I was just desperate to feel like the world was right again...I talked my sister into coming with me to Trump National Golf Course. I hoped that maybe in that darkest of times, I would find just a tiny glimpse of what life had been like just a few years earlier.

We sat on the small patio, ordered a bottle of Trump Champagne and for a couple of hours, while the sun set over the Pacific, I felt like everything was right again.

The other tables were full, the diners around us seemed healthy, happy and thriving, no one was wearing a mask, and I felt like I had finally found a place where it felt normal and okay to be happy and free and alive.

I feel like that is how I would feel visiting Florida and Mar A Lago.

For me, it’s not really about Trump. It’s about being surrounded with people who want to be free, who want to embrace life, who want to celebrate who we are as a community, as Americans. Who still believe that we are the greatest nation in the world.

I feel like that has been lost (and maybe that is because I live in LA?)

Thank you so much for your coverage! I’m so excited to see more!

I hope you have the best time! I am dying to see who you run into! Also how did you get invited to begin with? Did I miss that story or have you not told it yet?

Excited for your reporting in Palm Beach and hoping for insights like you made at the Republican debate.

Side note: If there was a large Trump-Epstein-Maxwell connection to sex trade and intelligence agencies it would’ve been all over the “news” by now, right? It may just be me, but I find Trump’s rumored “connections” to Epstein/Maxwell to be largely conflated to take the heat off the much more well documented Clinton-Epstein connection? Trump has been the media and uniparty’s #1 enemy for quite some time and the best they have is innuendo published in Vanity Fair, the original gossip magazine.

Trump notoriously kicked Epstein out of the club for inappropriate behavior.

I don’t care about the guys. I’m more interested in Ivanka & Ghislaine

Looking forward to seeing what you uncover!

Expand full comment

Do you mean Ivana and Ghislaine? Isn't Ivanka his daughter?

Expand full comment

I was wondering this too. Although I’d be fascinated to learn more about either duo.

Expand full comment

Their friendship is incredibly fascinating to me!!

Expand full comment

I need to know about them too. Ivanka was also good friends with Chelsea Clinton.

My take is that Trump knows A LOT & that is why the liberal left hate him. I’ve never in my life seen such vile hatred for another human. Why is that? My constant prayer is when he is back in the WH this time, he will tell all. They had him handcuffed the first time.... he won’t let them do that this time. And I’m here for it!!!

LOL...Keep Dreaming! But you got the “Handcuff” part Exactly Right!

Aw. TDS alert. It takes all kinds to make the world go round. He will be our next President unless the left cheats again. But keep believing what you see on MSM. At least you’re here. Maybe you’ll learn the truth.

I've often wondered if DT's connection to JE is deliberately downplayed to protect the other major players in the JE orbit who always manage to avoid public disclosure.

Expand full comment

Hmmm interesting take. I feel like they use every piece of evidence of their ‘friendship’ to try to do the very opposite and scapegoat Trump so that the other people aren’t looked at or revealed 🤷🏽‍♀️

This could easily be the case. Either way, it's working.

I’ve been looking forward for this trip of yours to Florida since you announced it. Your reporting of the trial real estate comparisons are exactly what I was expecting to be uncovered. The prep coverage of you seeking to fit in with this new crowd while visiting the southeast is totally unexpected and charming. (I could only imagine the lengths I might go to, to not feel like a fish out of water in your hometown.) Just know that this southern girl is rooting for you! … dare I say it, praying for you and your family that you have a wonderful experience and get out of it all you wish. In my opinion, not enough people are willing to be a little uncomfortable in learning about how others think and feel. That’s what hurts me the most about your recent loss of followers. The followers remaining and the new ones to come are here for it all. We are starved of unfiltered truth and reporting, no matter how uncomfortable and hard it is to swallow. Thank you.

This one made me happy I was NOT sipping my coffee when I read it. "so everyone was horrified when my leg scrub produced a basin full of brown dye". HAHA! That's hilarious. Also, pro tip, don't dry shave right before a pedicure. It burns... I know from experience. 🤣

Isn't it a shame that Ivana "accidentally fell down a flight of stairs" so you can't ask her about her friendship with GMax?

And that GM is shut up and bound by lifelong silence in jail.

So crazy how people forget that during the early 2000’s Trump was a democrat and supporter of the Clintons (remember Chelsea and Ivanka’s friendship?). It makes perfect sense that, including Epstein, they were all entangled.

Your son is so charming! He looks like he could be a politician in training. I have a son as well, and some days feel impossible with him. Seeing you with your boys gives me hope that we can make it through these pre-teen angst years.

Love every minute of this! I grew up in Palm Beach County and my mom grew up on Palm Beach Island on Cherry Lane. My grandfather was a barber at The Breakers. He actually used to cut the Kennedy’s hair when they were in town. Very cool to see you here. Have the best time!

Fave part of tonight’s coverage... Eric trump is more attractive in person & that trump controls the music with his iPad. Sending screenshots regularly to my family with the emphasis on these are the details we REALLY want to know about our candidates.

I love that he controls the music himself cause I’m totally that person 🤣

Lol the Eric Trump comment made me realize how the media is probably always picking unflattering photos of him just like they do RFJ Jr.

Expand full comment

Interesting... but if these dots are all correctly connected, why is Ghislaine Maxwell sitting in a jail cell staying “mum” ?She could do the whole planet the biggest favor by exposing all these evil thugs. I’ve always theorized that there is some tantric game of blackmail transpiring .... seems like she could call checkmate on it all.

It’s more complicated, I think. It’s not her refusal to release names. There is a lot behind that list (names) remaining hidden.

Expand full comment

My prediction is at some point, they’ll come up with some absurd reason for her early release and or she will “die” in prison and then be ferried to some safe location… who knows? Maybe reunited with Epstein. Remember when Abcs Amy Robach was ready to go on air with the Bill Clinton Epstein Island story and George Stephanopolous shut her down???

I will always maintain DERSHOWITZ guilty as hell w the young ones. He’s protested WAY too much for someone who’s actually innocent; the monies he’s paid out!!

Yes Peggy!! 💯 agree.

He did write a book about it too and sued Virginia Guffre.

Expand full comment

Yep… overly confident… knew that the right monetary amount could and does squash the truth… protested WAY. TOO. MUCH.

He’s getting away w it.

For now.

Yup, every time he defended himself in public declaring his innocence, I thought “,I don’t think so!!!!!”

I guess I’ll have to download IG again so I can keep up. I just need a HIH or JRK app to bypass all the other junk.

I found a solution to this haha. I literally keep an insta tab open on my phone just to check her stories, which always show up first (because it’s the only thing I engage with) so I’m not tempted to scroll. I check when I wake up and before bed. I deleted the app in August but felt too out of the loop with HIH. My only reason to be there anymore!

Oh RFK is easy to find on all the pods and his own substack, which is keeping me hopeful!
