MAGA Turns on Trump’s DOJ After Epstein Records Vanish: ‘Is He Hiding His Own Name?’

BLACKPRESSUSA NEWSWIRE — But after the Justice Department under Donald Trump declared there is no Epstein client list and promised “no further disclosure,” some in Trump’s base might be asking an unthinkable question: Was their own hero’s name among the records they fought to expose?

For years, MAGA influencers have demanded the unsealing of Jeffrey Epstein’s files, convinced they would deliver explosive revelations about Democrats like Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and other figures they’ve branded enemies of the state. But after the Justice Department under Donald Trump declared there is no Epstein client list and promised “no further disclosure,” some in Trump’s base might be asking an unthinkable question: Was their own hero’s name among the records they fought to expose?

The Justice Department and FBI announced last week that the Epstein materials contain no evidence of additional perpetrators, prompting furious backlash from the same pro-Trump media personalities who had championed transparency as a rallying cry. Chad Prather, who was invited to the White House in February and handed a binder of so-called Epstein evidence by Attorney General Pam Bondi, demanded to know why Americans were misled. “Where is the Epstein info the American people were promised?” Prather wrote. “You handed us a notebook and promised more was on the way. You told us it existed, and now you say it doesn’t?”

The world of MAGA angrily chimed in.

Jack Posobiec called the entire process “incredible” and accused the DOJ of gross mismanagement. Savanah Hernandez condemned the announcement as “a slap in the face,” while Paul Syzpula insisted no one should accept any conclusion without the full, unredacted files. Robby Starbuck delivered the most pointed rebuke, writing on X, “This new DOJ memo admits there are countless victims of Epstein on video but no client list or evidence of other rapists they can charge. So, Epstein was trafficking these underage girls to nobody? Is Pam Bondi serious? No one who has followed this for years believes that everyone who went to Epstein’s Island was just there to catch some waves and relax.”

California Birth Rate Falls Below “Replacement Level”

OAKLAND POST — Researchers project that by 2038, deaths will outnumber births in California, ending a long period in which natural population growth helped drive the state’s expansion. Without increased immigration or a rebound in birth rates, population growth could stagnate or decline.

California’s birth rate has fallen to its lowest level on record, dropping well below the threshold needed to maintain population growth and signaling a major demographic shift that could reshape the state’s economy, schools, workforce and political influence in the decades ahead.

A new report from the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) found that the state’s total fertility rate declined from 2.21 children per woman in 2007 to 1.48 in 2023 — far below the “replacement level” of 2.1 children per woman needed to sustain a population without migration.

“The significance of falling so far below replacement level cannot be overstated,” the report states. “It signals a fundamental shift in the state’s demographic trajectory.”

Researchers project that by 2038, deaths will outnumber births in California, ending a long period in which natural population growth helped drive the state’s expansion. Without increased immigration or a rebound in birth rates, population growth could stagnate or decline.
The report found that declining birth rates among younger women are largely responsible for the trend. Birth rates among women ages 20 to 24 fell by 54% between 2008 and 2023, while teen birth rates dropped nearly 90% since 1991. Researchers described the decline in teen births as a major public health success.

Birth rates declined across all racial and ethnic groups, with the steepest drops occurring among Latina women, particularly those born outside the United States.

The phenomenon is not unique to California. Birth rates have fallen in all 50 states, and every state now has fertility rates below replacement level.

“The decline in birth rates is one of the most important developments of recent decades and will structure policy debates for decades to come,” the report concludes.

Among the most immediate impacts could be shrinking school enrollment. PPIC projects California’s public school population will decline by roughly 630,000 students by 2038, while longer-term concerns include labor shortages, an aging population and the potential loss of congressional representation.
