The original purpose of flooding the country with anti-conservative rhetoric is the release of the Russiagate story about former President Obama which is akin to treason and the left is trying to smother it with the Epstein story.
When did the Wall Street Journal become a tabloid paper? Was it with this issue? We all know when the One World Order were shifting chairs in Europe – a lot of that side of the world responded with, “No Way Jose.” And, they held their ground and would not accept illegals coming into their country and even built fences. In the U.S., with the Democrats in control – illegals in the millions flooded our country. What happens when this occurs – it changes your culture because the traditions and the Constitution were left on the cutting room floor of newspapers. Now, our conservative President is swiftly sending the illegals back to their home country.
This is what is happening in the U.S. especially in the world of newspapers/TV which are owned now by liberals. Most of the CEO’s are former Obama/Biden employees and that is why all of the bad publicity and “take down” orders of our President.

Following is how blatant the left is in their thinking.

In response to the WSJ paper (with a new CEO from the Netherlands) tried to take down our conservative President by still ragging about the Epstein story and used the owner of the WSJ as the prop of the main story. Did the retired owner realize the paper was using him as the main story before attending a function sponsored by our President? If not, then, this is elder abuse by using the elderly person without his knowledge.

The struggle for power is still evident. Whoever wrote this story has provided their side.
The American people struggled through 12 years of Democrat control which did not end well. We almost lost our country to SOCIALISM via the Obama/Biden facade. There will always be evil in all of our lives and this story/opinion proves it. It always ends with sex as being used against mankind.
The American people are tired of being used by the Democratic Party to further their own ambitions which is to tear up our country. The REAL Democrats need to realign their party and quit allowing the progressives to use their funds to take over their party. Make them establish their own party (like AOC/Talib).
Let’s hear from Mr. Latour and his side of the story. There was more than one birthday card sent and why did the WSJ just use one in the story – being President Trump?
The following information is interesting:
“I’d like to thank Rupert Murdoch, Lachlan Murdoch and Robert Thomson for their trust — and for their deep and continued support for and investment in quality journalism and the national and international institution that is Dow Jones,” said Mr. Latour. “Our role is more important than ever before. Our millions of readers and users in the U.S. and beyond are all faced with uncertainty in time ahead and our unique brand of factual news and analysis serves to help them make decisions in business, finance and personal life. Will Lewis and the team have left Dow Jones in great shape. We are well positioned to take The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s, MarketWatch, Newswires, Factiva and our other brands to more people everywhere and continue — and accelerate — our growth. As always, our mission is to help people put the truth to good ends.”
The most interesting part of the above information was:
As always, our mission is to help people put the truth to good ends.”
“As always, our mission is to help people put the truth to good ends.”
How many more gotcha stories will be used to continue this persecution of one person? Who would believe that a “birthday” card would be such a story. After all – what is the difference in the Biden/Obama illegal immigration story and the Epstein story? Were they both using “sex” in the process?

Fox News Founder Rupert Murdoch Is Retiring

Fox founder Rupert Murdoch steps down from his media empire, handing it to his son
Updated September 21, 2023
David Folkenflik
Rupert Murdoch, 92, is stepping down as chair of his global media empire, which includes Fox News and The Wall Street Journal.
Rupert Murdoch, the media magnate who built an unmatched global media empire over seven decades from a single newspaper he inherited in his native Australia, announced on Thursday that he would step down.
“I have been engaged daily with news and ideas, and that will not change,” Murdoch wrote in a memo to employees at Fox News, The Wall Street Journal, and the many other properties that make up his two corporations, Fox Corp. and News Corp. “The time is right for me to take on different roles.”
Murdoch’s career has been marked by a singular drive for business success, an eagerness to have sway over elections and policies, and the repeated eruption of scandals. Fox News, which he founded in 1996, has played an increasingly prominent role in his profits, his influence, and his crises.
In his note to staff, Murdoch, 92, took a shot at unnamed elites, saying they “have open contempt for those who are not members of their rarified class” and said most of the rest of the media was in “cahoots with those elites.”
His elder son Lachlan Murdoch, who has been leading the companies with him, will become the sole chairman of both Fox Corp., the broadcast arm of the family’s holdings, and News Corp., which encompasses newspapers and book publishing. Rupert Murdoch will become chairman emeritus.
The changes will take effect in November, when the two companies, together worth about $26.5 billion, have their shareholder meetings. While they are publicly traded, Murdoch is considered to control more than 40% of their voting shares. Bloomberg estimates his fortune at more than $8.2 billion.
From tabloids to papers of record
Through outlets he acquired and others he founded, Rupert Murdoch ultimately dominated journalism and politics in Australia, the U.K. and the U.S. Outside the U.S., he leveraged his outlets to support politicians from the center-left to the far right. In this country, his sway is almost entirely limited to the Republican Party.
Media magnate Rupert Murdoch, right, huddles with Preston Padden, president of network distribution for Fox, during a hearing of the Federal Communications Commission in May 1995. A generation later, Padden says Murdoch is unfit to hold the licenses for local television stations due to Fox News.
Media.

Though Murdoch built his fortune initially on populist tabloids, he bought prestige newspapers such as the Journal and the Times of London to reach elites who forged policy and set consensus. He also created The Australian in 1964, that country’s only national daily.
That high-low approach, and his willingness to boost favored politicians, gave him entrée to top leaders in Australia and the U.K.; those seeking office would fly thousands of miles to court him. He did not have the same level of access in the U.S. except when former President Donald Trump, whom Murdoch privately disparaged, was in office.

Trump Hosted Murdoch at Weekend Game Before Explosive WSJ Epstein Story – Newsweek
Trump Hosted Murdoch at Weekend Game Before Explosive WSJ Epstein Story
Published Jul 17, 2025 at 9:46 PM EDTUpdated Jul 17, 2025 at 10:21 PM
By Sonam Sheth and Peter Aitken
President Donald Trump hosted NewsCorp CEO Rupert Murdoch at the FIFA Club World Cup Final just days before The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump had written a “bawdy” birthday letter to disgraced financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein for Epstein’s 50th birthday.
Murdoch was among several high-profile political and media figures who joined Trump in his suite at the World Cup final on July 13, the Associated Press and CBS News reported. Others included Attorney General Pam Bondi, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and football legend Tom Brady.
The Context
Trump and Murdoch have had a cozy professional relationship for years, with Murdoch’s media empire—which includes Fox News and the New York Post—publishing a slew of stories that have been favorable to Trump, from when he was a Manhattan real-estate tycoon, to when he entered politics and finally when he became president of the United States.
But Trump’s relationship with Murdoch reached a boiling point this week, when the Journal reported that Trump was among dozens of people who wrote letters to Epstein celebrating his 50th birthday in 2003. The story threw a wrench into Trump’s repeated efforts to distance himself from the disgraced businessman as the administration grapples with the fallout from its handling of the investigation into Epstein’s 2019 death in a New York City jail.
What To Know
On Thursday, four days after Murdoch joined Trump at the FIFA final, the Journal reported that the president was among the people who wrote letters to Epstein celebrating his birthday. Trump’s letter is said to have featured several lines of typewritten text surrounded by the outline of a naked woman, sketched in marker, and included Trump’s signature.
“Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret,” the letter said, according to the report.
When the Journal approached Trump before publishing its story, the president said in an interview that the letter was “fake” and threatened to sue the paper if it published the explosive report.
Trump raged against the Journal in a Truth Social post on Thursday after its report was published, saying he would sue the paper “shortly” over its “defamatory story.”
The president said he had “personally” warned the outlet and Murdoch before they printed the report that he would sue them if they pressed ahead with publication, and said that Murdoch had assured him that he would “take care of it but, obviously, did not have the power to do so.”
Trump said on Truth Social that in addition to the Journal, he plans to sue Murdoch and the Journal‘s parent company, NewsCorp.
“The Press has to learn to be truthful, and not rely on sources that probably don’t even exist,” he wrote, adding that he “looks forward to suing and holding accountable the once great Wall Street Journal.”
Newsweek reached out to NewsCorp via email outside of normal business hours for comment.
The public and media’s renewed focus on Epstein exploded after the Department of Justice, released a memo last week concluding that the sex offender died by suicide in 2019 in his Manhattan jail cell and that the government was not in possession of an “incriminating” list of Epstein’s “clients.”
The memo threw cold water on years of conspiracy theories—amplified for months by Bondi and other Trump administration officials—suggesting that Epstein was killed as part of a government cover-up. In the days since, Trump administration officials have alternated between saying there are no Epstein files and that the files were a “hoax” perpetrated by Democrats.
Trump also lambasted his supporters as “weaklings” and said they got “duped” by the Epstein “hoax,” despite the fact that his own officials, including Bondi and Vice President JD Vance, had repeatedly suggested that Epstein’s death was a cover-up.
What People Are Saying
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt wrote on X: “The Wall Street Journal published a hatchet job article with a FAKE ‘birthday letter’ that is supposedly from 2003 … The WSJ refused to show us the letter and conceded they don’t even have it in their possession when we asked them to verify the alleged document they’re basing their ENTIRE fake story on.”
She added: “When has President Trump ever spoken like the conversation alleged in the fake WSJ story? That’s not at all how he speaks or writes. The WSJ knowingly published false information to smear the President of the United States.”
Democratic Representative Sean Casten of Illinois wrote on X: “Like all things Trump, this is simultaneously disgusting and entirely unsurprising. He is exactly who we always understood him to be.”
Technology reporter Kara Swisher reacted to the report on Thursday evening, telling CNN’s Anderson Cooper: “Even if he denies it … it creates a feeling, and especially online, that gets amplified and really weaponized in a lot of ways. So it’s not going to end here until he releases these files in some substantive way, which he seems reluctant to do…”
What Happens Next
Trump asked Bondi on Thursday evening to produce “any and all” grand jury testimony relevant to Epstein, subject to court approval, in order to put an end to what he described as the “ridiculous” publicity Epstein has gotten over the last week.
Update 7/17/25, 11:32 p.m. ET: This story has been updated with additional information and context.

The Host of the WSJ is Almar Latour and is from the Netherlands. It looks like Mr. Murdock’s “word” didn’t reach Mr. Latour?.
