ANNOUNCEMENT! I have officially joined the land of Substack. It was probably inevitable. But I'm very excited about the opportunities the platform affords. And most of all, looking forward to making insufferable people's heads explode mtracey.substack.com/p/officially-d…
"Iron Man" by Black Sabbath was by far the most exciting song we played in High School pep band at football games youtu.be/qw6Yo70jnI4?si… And here's a photo I took of "Black Sabbath Bridge" in Birmingham, England -- featuring the likeness of Ozzy Osbourne. RIP!

If you wonder why more people in the media do not employ an ounce of skepticism in their coverage of Epstein nonsense, it's because they'd get deluged with insinuations or outright accusations that they are personally a child-sex predator. And who wants to deal with that garbage?
You always looked like a guy who’d have to inform his neighbors about his status when moving into a new neighborhood, but now you’re talking like it too
Tim Dillon slightly misquotes the DOJ/FBI memo here. To be more precise, Bondi claims to be in possession of "over ten thousand downloaded videos and images of illegal child sex abuse material and other pornography." If some portion of this purported material is just "other…
Tim Dillon says he had dinner last week with JD Vance, who told him the "10,000 hours of video" Pam Bondi claims to have is "commercial pornography," and there are no "videos of any powerful person in a compromising position." Why doesn't Vance come out and say this in public?
Honestly impressed with this level of contrarianism
Kevin Spacey has now been resoundingly cleared of every MeToo-era accusation against him that's actually been adjudicated in a court of law -- despite having his career and reputation destroyed. At what point can it be safely concluded that someone was a victim of a moral panic?

Congrats to Bernie, I guess, for somehow managing to connect the Epstein Files with Medicaid cuts
My thoughts on the Epstein files:
Maria Farmer, whose claim to fame is purportedly being the original Epstein "victim" -- when she was 25 years old, by her own account -- tells CNN last night she "felt threatened" by Trump simply looking at her in 1995 Her lawyer is sitting in on the interview, of course -- and…
Ghislaine Maxwell's trial and sentence was an absurd miscarriage of justice. (Perpetrated by Maurene Comey!) Commuting her sentence, and giving her immunity to testify before Congress, would be a totally appropriate way to give the public additional information about Epstein
Justice demands courage. For the first time, the Department of Justice is reaching out to Ghislaine Maxwell to ask: what do you know? At @AGPamBondi’s direction, I’ve contacted her counsel. I intend to meet with her soon. No one is above the law—and no lead is off-limits.
Again, this woman was 25 years old when she alleges that Trump looked at her bare legs, because she was wearing shorts, and she "felt afraid." She also just unveiled yet another lawsuit against the US Govt, demanding taxpayers pay her millions for her many mental health problems

This image reminded me that last year... on a non-descript weekday morning...at around 6AM... a black SUV w/VA plates pulled up outside Epstein’s townhouse. A man got out, collected a big folder of papers from the back, rang the bell & went inside. It was Steve Bannon.
