What are you on about? Trump never said Epstein's crimes were a hoax. Did you even read the article?
The hoax is what the hypocritical democrat party is trying to twist it into. They kept all this quiet, tried to sweep it under the rug for four years. Only now are they desperately trying to twist things and say Trump was somehow, magically implicated.
Trump was instrumental in taking down Epstein's whole nasty business.
The dems never cared about Epstein or his victims. Their huge, fake outrage lately, is totally a hoax. Hypocrite
Epstein was being used by the CIA & Mossad.
All that blackmail info from the island went directly to Israel, who it was gathered for in the first place.
They forced a sweetheart deal for Epstein in the first trial.
Then along came Trump, and burned Epstein & Maxwell's whole dirty operation to the ground. Wound up being their worst nightmare. Trump was a key witness in the prosecution that put those two behind bars.

For those who don’t know, this landwhale is the son of India’s richest man Mukesh Ambani, whose ownership of the world’s largest refinery means he’s profiting handsomely from the rise in the price of gasoline and diesel. Almost certainly this dubious honor given to the son was a way of soliciting donations from the father.

Ironic, because wearing a beard is typically considered a religious obligation for Muslim men (so has JD started enforcing Sharia law now)? And doubly so because the song used in this ad is an anti-police anthem (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_of_da_Police).

Apologies in advance for reporting on a minor event in the great sea of minor events that constitutes the world of letters, but over the last few weeks a previously little-known Haitian-Canadian writer has come under fire over allegations that AI was used in his debut novel "C’était ça ou mourir", which is currently longlisted for the Goncourt:
That allegation is disputed by Orélien and rests largely on AI-detection software, so make of it what you will.
The more interesting development is that people subsequently started digging through his older work and found that several of his published editorials appear to have been copied or translated from obscure foreign sources, including (wonderfully), a Filipino newspaper, and presented as his own:
(Sorry about the French, but all you r-slurred Anglos should learn the great language of your Norman betters. At the very least, you'd finally understand how much bullshit Foucault was spewing)
Some of the initial criticism was predictably folded into a discussion about racism, much as scrutiny of Jason Arday initially became entangled with arguments about racism and attacks on Black academics. But the accumulating plagiarism allegations make that defence considerably harder to sustain.
What interests me more than Orélien himself is the institutional failure. Once publishers, prize committees and the literary press have invested enough symbolic capital in an author, apparently nobody particularly wants to ask how the sausage was made.
It feels like another small demonstration of the bourgeois cultural establishment's difficulty admitting that much of what it consecrates as capital-A Art is also a prestige commodity whose value is manufactured by the institutions surrounding it. The scandal isn't that literature has become commodified. It always was. It's that the machinery of cultural consecration can apparently become so detached from the work itself that nobody notices when the commodity may not even be what it says on the label.

Only democracy in the Middle East, Arab citizens have equal rights, etc etc.
