I hope people react very negatively towards this!! Have we lost our humanity?? Where is our decency, kindness, forgiveness, helpfulness, brotherly love?? 😢

A leadership fracas is not the same thing a dozen redhat goodolboy patriot heroes chatting in a diner after Bible study about ICE signing bonuses. I am more afraid of the latter.

Dear @JoJoFromJerz,

I am urging independent journalists on Substack to reconsider continuing to host or promote Michael Cohen on Lives or similar platforms without first demanding full on-the-record accountability.

Cohen recently used Substack to allege that New York Attorney General Letitia James and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg coerced him into providing testimony against Donald Trump. These claims come from a witness who has admitted under oath to repeated lies, served federal prison time for fraud-related crimes, acknowledged stealing from his former client, and was widely characterized during trial as discredited. His own statements show his cooperation with prosecutors was motivated, at least in part, by the hope of personal benefit.

These facts alone warrant serious editorial skepticism.

More critically, Michael Cohen’s name appears in the Epstein files, an issue of profound public importance that remains unaddressed. What did he know, and when did he know it? Why was he in discussions with the Department of Justice regarding a Rule 35 motion, seeking a reduced sentence in exchange for substantial assistance, if he possessed no relevant information? These are not rhetorical questions; they go directly to accountability, transparency, and justice for Epstein’s victims.

Independent journalists who continue to platform Mr. Cohen without pressing these questions risk enabling silence where clarity is owed. In matters involving Epstein and his network, neutrality is not achieved through avoidance. If Mr. Cohen has relevant knowledge, it is imperative that he disclose it fully. Continued evasion risks the public perception of complicity by omission.

This is not a call for censorship, but for editorial responsibility. Independent journalism is strengthened by demanding answers from powerful or compromised sources, not by granting unchallenged platforms to individuals with unresolved credibility and accountability issues.

I strongly urge journalists to pause further amplification of Michael Cohen, particularly in live or lightly moderated formats, until these Epstein-related questions are addressed clearly and on the record.

Sincerely,

Michael Cohen is who he has always been. He is not a credible source of anything approximating truth. He is a coward who runs for cover wherever he can find it. He made dumb choices during his service to Trump and is trying to recast his willing participation.

He needs to be shut off from media, social and otherwise.

Thank you Sam,.

I grew up with Schwartz's smoke meat and listening to Leonard Cohen who led the country band at Kamala Harris' High School where Leonard dreamed of a career as a stand-up comic. Today is Shabbos and Pope Leo XIV is persona non grata in Quebec and the face of Leonard Chohen lights up Montreal's skyline. Celine Dion owns Schwartz's. I moved back to Quebec in 2003 with a Nashville born wife and American grandchildren in Chicago and Tacoma Park Maryland. I am grateful to Adonai for preventing me from becoming a second class American in Broadview Illinois in the 20th century. I was born 2nd class and in 1957 the Supreme Court of Canada said all Canadians are first class. I could have died in Florida decades ago but I live a rich existence in a real liberal democracy not a decaying and rotting Empire called the United State of America a ridiculous oxymoron for a 50/50 country on the verge of renewing a 1535 Civil WAr where Civil War in 2026 sounds like Science Fiction. Emmanuel Goldstein, Lex Luther or George Soros doesn't matter on FOX or Trump Media all are real villains in GOP America. George Soros is a mensch and a truth teller not a Republican. I can forgive Donald and his insanity but Reagan was a Quisling.

I know America and there are good people on both sides. On one side are people like me who believe only the Truth can set you free. On the other side are people who believe we can't handle the truth and build Noah Theme Parks and think teaching truth is anti-Christian or anti-American

I am autism spectrum disordered and I will be 78 in March and my wife and I are Socratics and know the Nile is a river in Africa. Amerika First was around when it was LED BY Nathan Bedford Forrest BUT TODAY'S Amerika First IS a product of the Third Reich in 1940. La plus ca change, la plus la meme Chose.

I am a goddamned fucking Jew born under the Laws of the GOP, the churches of Rome and Canterbury in 1948 in a nation called Quebec where only Charlie Kirk BELIEVING antisemitic Christians like the founder of anti-Jesus Christianity Constantine the Great Emperor of Rome were virtuous as in the Dictionary defining the words of your founders. Jefferson was a patriot and a Unitarian and created HIS Bible FOR A Unitarian AS IN Unum Bible FOR America. IN 1820 Jefferson HAD BEEN PRESIDENT AND Eli Whitney's cotton gin HAD MADE SLAVERY NO LONGER AN ECONOMIC NECESSITY EVEN WHERE cotton WAS KING Cotton. The Civil War was about tariffs the cartels of commerce.

The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth for a nation where diversity might be a strength but that was 205 years ago long before Woody Guthrie wrote Lindbergh, Old Man Trump and This Land is my land. Charlie Kirk went to Ogden to tell Mormons this land is not for you it is only for me and National Socialists like Pete Hegseth and our minions.
