Jeffrey Epstein is back in the news, and this time it’s because the Democrats are yet again trying to pin Epstein’s evil on President Trump.Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck believes it’s all part of a “plan.”“The way this thing has been played out, Democrats are completely against bringing anything out about Epstein. They don’t want to do anything about it,” Glenn explains, noting that it was largely ignored by the Democrats under former President Biden.“And you know, what’s funny is it is just so full of stuff about Donald Trump. Then why wouldn’t they release just that? Why wouldn’t have the Democrats released anything in the Epstein files?” Glenn asks.“They don’t have anything.”As for the Democrats, Glenn explains that there’s nothing to release about them because the Epstein files were already in their hands.“The most powerful people with powerful connections to government, they knew their names were, you know, there on little guest books at the island or whatever. You don’t think they called in some favors and said, ‘Hey, I need that — can you remove that?’” he says.“You don’t think that there were people that were like, ‘Hey, you know what? We’ll remove that. We need $100 million from you to help out on this campaign.’ I mean, whatever it is, those names are gone too. They’re gone,” he continues.“How do I know this? Because the government is completely dishonest,” he adds.And what the Democrats have pulled on Trump appears to be grasping at straws, releasing an email from Epstein that read, “The only dog that hasn’t barked is Trump.”“I think Epstein is referring to the fact that he believed that Donald Trump talked to Michael Ryder, who was the Palm Beach police chief in 2004 and began the first investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. So in other words, he was the whistleblower,” Glenn says.“If you think things are going to be released that are going to get Trump, why would you release that where after two days of it being out, the guy who was part of that email who hates Donald Trump is like, ‘Yeah, that’s not what it means. It means he was the whistleblower,’” he continues.In the same email, the Democrats made sure to redact Virginia Giuffre's name — but it wasn’t to protect her.“She has said that he was nothing but respectful and never was with any of the girls at all, in not only her book, but also in testimony under oath,” BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere tells Glenn.“I mean, this does not hurt Donald Trump,” Glenn adds. “It helps Donald Trump.”Want more from Glenn Beck?To enjoy more of Glenn’s masterful storytelling, thought-provoking analysis, and uncanny ability to make sense of the chaos, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) calls for an investigation into "certain entities" that may be defying state and federal laws to push Islamic codes, according to a statement first obtained by "The Glenn Beck Program."Abbott issued a proclamation on Tuesday that designated the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American-Islamic Relations as foreign terrorist and transnational criminal organizations. As a result of this declaration, individuals who promote or aid their criminal activities could face heightened penalties, and the groups' affiliates are banned from acquiring land in Texas. CAIR condemned Abbott's action, calling it "defamatory and lawless," in a statement emailed to Blaze News.'The Constitution's religious protections provide no authority for religious courts to skirt state and federal laws simply by donning robes and pronouncing positions inconsistent with western civilization.'On Wednesday, Abbott continued his efforts to prevent Sharia law from taking hold in Texas."It has come to my attention that certain entities in Texas — including in Collin and Dallas Counties — may be masquerading as legal 'courts' staffed with 'judges' issuing orders that purportedly carry the authority to bind individuals to Islamic codes, thereby pre-empting state and federal laws," Abbott said in a statement provided to Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck."The Constitution's religious protections provide no authority for religious courts to skirt state and federal laws simply by donning robes and pronouncing positions inconsistent with western civilization," the statement continued. "I urge you, therefore, to investigate efforts by entities purporting to illegally enforce Sharia law in Texas. Legal disputes in Texas must be decided based on American law rooted in the fundamental principles of American due process, not according to Sharia law dispensed in modern day star chambers."RELATED: No Sharia law in Texas: Abbott draws a hard line against radical Islam Photo by Mohammed Elshamy/Anadolu Agency/Getty ImagesBeck noted that Abbott's investigation request would require cooperation between the Texas Department of Public Safety and the Attorney General's Office."The letter is going to be sent out later today. But this is an exclusive report from the governor. I applaud Governor Abbott for actually doing this," Beck said.RELATED: Islamic EPIC City’s stealth rebrand is scarier than you thinkKHALIL MAZRAAWI/AFP via Getty ImagesAbbott sent the letter to North Texas District Attorneys and Sheriffs, the Attorney General of Texas, and the Texas DPS.“At the outset, the First Amendment’s protection of religious freedom provides wide berth for religious institutions to order their own affairs under the ‘church autonomy’ doctrine,” the letter read. “It is different entirely, however, for religious groups to set up courts purporting to replace actual courts of law to evade neutral and generally applicable laws.” — (@) Like Blaze News?

Governor Greg Abbott (R) ratified legislation in June requiring all public-school classrooms in Texas to display the Ten Commandments.Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick noted that "by placing the Ten Commandments in our classrooms, we are ensuring students receive the same foundational moral compass that guided our state and country’s forefathers."The prospect that children in the Lone Star State would be publicly reminded from Sept. 1 onward to honor their parents and not to lie, murder, steal, commit adultery, or worship false gods proved intolerable to a number of liberals and anti-religion activists who promptly filed legal challenges.'These rogue ISD officials and board members blatantly disregarded the will of Texas voters.'Obliging one set of plaintiffs who alleged in a Sept. 22 lawsuit that the display of the historically significant moral code violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction on Tuesday that requires certain public school districts to remove displays of the Ten Commandments and further prohibits them from posting new displays. Judge Orlando Garcia, an appointee of former President Bill Clinton, claimed that the display of the Ten Commandments on the wall of a public-school classroom as set forth in Senate Bill 10 violates the Establishment Clause.The Clinton judge noted further that while the plaintiffs in the case were a motley crew of parents — some are atheists, agnostic, Christians, Jews, Baha'i, and Hindu — "they share one thing in common: Plaintiffs do not wish their children to be pressured to observe, venerate, or adopt the religious doctrine contained in the Ten Commandments."RELATED: Ten Commandments out, Pride banners in Blaze Media illustration Garcia added that it was "impractical, if not impossible to prevent Plaintiffs from being subjected to unwelcome religious displays without enjoining Defendants from enforcing S.B. 10 across their districts."The ruling applies to 14 school districts across the state.The ACLU, which has defended classroom displays of LGBT symbols signifying liberals' rejection of sexual morality, celebrated the ruling."A federal court has recognized that the Constitution bars public schools from forcing religious scripture on students," said Daniel Mach, director of the ACLU Program on Freedom of Religion. "This decision is a victory for religious liberty and a reminder that government officials shouldn't pay favorites with faith."Rachel Laser, president of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, similarly celebrated the prohibition of the Ten Commandments in the classroom, stating, "Families throughout Texas and across the country get to decide how and when their children engage with religion — not politicians or public-school officials."While Laser insinuated that Texans did not sanction the introduction of the Ten Commandments into public-school classrooms, voters across the state elected those lawmakers who passed S.B. 10 this year in decisive votes in the Texas legislature. Moreover, Texans — 4,437,099 to be exact — also gave Abbott a clear mandate in 2022 to ratify such legislation."We're extremely happy to have secured this victory for the plaintiff families we represent," said Sam Grover, senior counsel at the Freedom from Religion Foundation. "The law is quite clear that pushing religion on students in public school is unconstitutional."Attorney General Ken Paxton, who has vowed to enforce the law, is appealing the decision, reported KLTV-TV. On Tuesday, Paxton also announced that he was suing a pair of school districts for refusing to comply with S.B. 10. "These rogue ISD officials and board members blatantly disregarded the will of Texas voters who expect the legal and moral heritage of our state to be displayed in accordance with the law," said Paxton. "This lawsuit makes clear that no district may ignore Texas law without consequence."A panel of judges on the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals claimed that a similar law passed by Louisiana Republicans was "plainly unconstitutional." A hearing on the case by the full appeals court is scheduled for Jan. 20, 2026. The New York Times indicated that the court will also hear a challenge to Texas' S.B. 10 in that hearing.Like Blaze News?

It’s premature to treat Trump as if he’s been president for the past five years.
