USMLE Today

We worked 4 hour straight today, no breaks, on the most miserable subject to me, endocrine. I thought I was rid of that for good but, because of a tutor's advice, we left some questions deliberately undone and had to go back to finish. It had been like six months so, of course, our results suck, but Dr. Ana studied her asphalt off. I about nodded off. Fortunately, Ana was a rigorous scholar today and really learned. I was extremely impressed and told her so. There are no bad days when you learn.

A spy?

Aren't spies supposed to be secretive? This was out in the open, flagrantly, flamboyantly public. Parties! Crime parties! 

What intel did Epstein, rumored Mossad spy, give to Israel? 

Kompromat? Are there recordings of secret trysts? If it was kompromat, what did Epstein get? A jail cell and cremation. If Epstein was a Mossad spy and former Israeli PM Ehud Barak trained him, did Barak go to Epstein's HOUSE in New York 30 times to give spook refresher courses? Aren't they supposed to meet in a safe house and pass messages in pumpkins? Was this a clever Mossad ploy, a Inspector Clouseau-hiding-in-plain-sight house all but illuminated SPY HOUSE! in neon? 

The spy angle does not make any sense to me.

Et tu, Ehud?

Why did former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak meet with Jeffrey Epstein 30 times in four years--after Epstein had been convicted in the Florida case?

The motives of Epstein on the one hand and the other men who he let in on his crimes is opaque. But the Israeli Connection stands out in bold.

For All the World to See, This is Who the American People Are









And on...

[Trump's racist Obama meme is] something which had, for many years, been confined to the dustbin of history, while still very much a part of the vocabulary of white supremacists.

But something has changed.

Maybe it's social media, maybe it's something else, but something has changed. We are in a new reality where, for more than 12 hours, Trump's White House thought this was OK.


On and on...







Trump: "I looked at the beginning of it. It was fine. Nobody knew that that was at the end."

When asked if he would apologize for an overtly racist video clip of the Obamas posted on President Trump's Truth Social, the president said Friday, "No, I didn't make a mistake."

Trump said he looks at "thousands of things" when he spoke to reporters on Air Force One en route to Palm Beach.

Hiring increased sharply at outset of 2026,

blowing past economists' expectations

Wednesday's jobs report provided a key barometer of the U.S. economy.


...besting sluggish performance from the previous year.


The U.S. added 130,000 jobs in January, according to the report, which marked a sharp increase from 50,000 jobs added in the previous month.


The unemployment rate dropped to 4.3% in January from 4.4% in December, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) said. Unemployment remains low by historical standards.


Google AI on my questions

 Search query: "was epstein a mossad agent":

Based on documents released by the U.S. Department of Justice and FBI files in early 2026, allegations that Jeffrey Epstein worked for the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad have gained significant attention, though they remain unverified claims rather than proven facts. 

Here is a breakdown of the evidence and claims:

FBI Files and Informant Reports: A 2020 FBI report from the Los Angeles field office included in the Epstein files cites a confidential informant who became "convinced that Epstein was a co-opted Mossad agent". The source alleged Epstein was "trained as a spy" and that his connections to U.S. and allied intelligence operations were facilitated through his lawyer, Alan Dershowitz.

Links to Ehud Barak: The documents detail a long-running, close relationship between Epstein and former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, who visited Epstein's New York townhouse over 30 times between 2013 and 2017. The informant suggested Epstein was trained under Barak.

Brokerage Activities: Reports indicate Epstein played a role in brokering deals for Israeli intelligence, including security agreements between Israel and other nations (such as Mongolia and Côte d'Ivoire) and establishing a backchannel to the Kremlin during the Syrian civil war.

Ghislaine Maxwell Connection: Speculation often points to Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's close associate, whose father, Robert Maxwell, was widely suspected of having ties to Mossad.

Denials and Counterarguments: Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has called the accusations "categorically and totally false". Benjamin Netanyahu also dismissed the claims, arguing that Epstein's relationship with his political opponent, Ehud Barak, actually disproves the notion that Epstein worked for the Israeli state.

[There is no "counterargument" there, just denial.]

Lack of Direct Proof: While the FBI documents detail these accusations, they rely on informant testimony rather than direct, confirmed evidence of a formal employment relationship between Epstein and Mossad. 

In summary, the claims that Epstein was a Mossad agent are based on FBI records of confidential informants, circumstantial evidence of his network, and his close ties to Israeli political figures, but they are officially denied by Israeli officials and not conclusively proven.

GOP senator on Epstein files: ‘Now I see what the big deal is’


Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.) said Monday she now understands “what the big deal is” after reviewing unredacted files tied to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

“I’ve not been one of the members who has glommed on to this as an issue,” Lummis said in an interview with journalist Pablo Manríquez. “I’ve sort of intentionally deferred to others to find out about it. But 9-year-old victims … wow.”

“Well, initially, my reaction to all this was, ‘I don’t care. I don’t know what the big deal is.’ But now I see what the big deal is, and it was worth investigating. And the members of Congress that have been pushing this were not wrong. So that’s really my only reaction.”


Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said today that he personally did a search of  the unredacted files that only Congress has access to and search term "Trump, Donald, Don" returned over 1M entries. "...wow."

Questions, cont.

Epstein raped sex dozens or hundreds of beautiful underage females. Why would he want even one man, much less dozens or hundreds to know of and share in his crimes with his victims? That he did is beyond a reasonable doubt, but why? Why would he spread that knowledge and those crimes around and drastically increase his risk of detection, arrest, prosecution, conviction, imprisonment and suicide, all of which also happened beyond a reasonable doubt? It wasn't extortion; it wasn't money at all. When he hanged himself in gaol, he was worth $600M. I don't get the mind of this criminal. I can get the mind of many criminals, but not this one. If I, speaking as another man, was daily, weekly, and monthly raping women, i wouldn't tell a single soul, much less tell double or triple digit souls. It happened, All of it happened beyond a reasonable doubt, but I don't see Epstein's motive to involve so many other men for no reason apparent to me.
