This article was originally published by Connor O’Keeffe at The Mises Institute.  On Friday, six weeks after a deadline that was reluctantly signed into law by Trump, the Department of Justice released over 3 million documents related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The drop caused a lot of discourse online over the weekend as journalists and investigators began poring through the documents. Because of the sheer scale of the information released, most of the early revelations have focused on easily-searchable names and organizations that appear in the files. Numerous public figures who claimed to have had little or no ties to Epstein were revealed to have been in closer contact with him than they had led the public to believe. More details have also come out about Epstein’s contact and involvement with multiple intelligence agencies. And additional photographs of figures already known to be closely associated with Epstein provided an additional window into how—at absolute best—insanely creepy and weird their activities with the supposed financier were. On that note, much of what’s already been found in these files has further highlighted just how disgusting, depraved, and down-right evil Epstein and his accomplices were—which is made all the worse when paired…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The parents of former San Jose State University volleyball co-captain Brooke Slusser made their first public statement since the U.S. Department of Education (ED) determined the school violated Title IX while Slusser was enrolled. Slusser emerged as the central figure opposing the university during a 2024 scandal involving trans athlete Blaire Fleming. Slusser filed a lawsuit against representatives of SJSU and the Mountain West Conference after she allegedly was made to share a bedroom and changing spaces with Fleming without being told of Fleming’s biological sex. Among the ED’s findings, it also concluded that the trans athlete conspired with an opposing player to have an SJSU teammate, presumably Slusser, spiked in the face during a match. Slusser’s parents, Paul and Kim Slusser, provided a joint statement to Fox News Digital addressing the ED’s recent crackdown on the university.  “We’re thrilled that the Trump administration, Secretary McMahon, and the Department of Education are taking action on the issue of men in women’s sports—something the last administration did not do! San Jose State University completely failed its female athletes, and it’s about time they’re held accountable,” the statement read.”We’re watching closely to see how they respond,…
