Trump faces a backlash from his MAGA base over Epstein files

The Epstein files and calls for Attorney General Pam Bondi to fired dominated a conservative conference in Tampa this weekend.

On weekend President Donald Trump decided to chose biggest political battle to date with MAGA base he created in own photes thousands of his adherents were gathered together.

And the “Epstein files” were the only topic they desired to discuss   at this Student Action Summit, which was organised by the conservative activist group Turning Point USA.

Podcaster Brandon Tatum told the gathered audience at the Tampa Convention Centre, “I — and I don’t know, for whatever reason, there could be reasons — but I don’t think they’re telling us the truth about Epstein.”

“I believe that man was a part of a sinister scheme that involves numerous individuals. Additionally, I believe that the vast majority of people may be both our allies and those with whom we do not wish to have a negative relationship.

Trump stunned his followers on Saturday night by publishing a long social media post in which hedenied the importance of the problem that has dominated the right for the past week —

The Justice Department revealed  this week that it would not make any more files pertaining to the case of Jeffrey Epstein, the late financier and convicted sex offender.

A medical examiner determined that Epstein’s death in 2019 was a suicide while he was in custody.

He was charged with conspiracy and sex trafficking.

In a two-page memo, Attorney General Pam Bondi stated that there was no “credible evidence found that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals” and that the department’s investigation had not produced a “client list” of influential men who were allegedly involved in Epstein’s schemes.

Trump blamed the files on Democrats in a post on Truth Social that read,

“For years, it’s Epstein, over and over again.” “Why are we promoting files authored by Comey, Brennan, Obama, Crooked Hillary, and the Biden administration’s losers and criminals?”

Trump supporters were infuriated by the memo and swiftly turned against Bondi; this sentiment was evident at the Student Action Summit. Bondi herself told Fox News in February that the Epstein client was “sitting on my desk right now.”

For years, some high-ranking officials in the Trump administration had promoted baseless rumours regarding the Epstein files. Additionally, Trump has stated time and time again that he will make the Epstein files public.

Additionally, Bondi maintained the controversy in February by presenting Epstein documents to right-wing influencers at the White House.

However, the influencers and Bondi herself insisted that the FBI had more documents that it was withholding,  release wasn’t sufficient.

Despite the White House’s efforts to portray unity, other famous MAGA World influencers persisted the issue Saturday afternoon.

“Until we complete the Jan. 6 committee on the Epstein Files, I won’t stop working.” Jack Psobiec,  online supporter of Trump, told the conference Saturday afternoon that every single client involved should have an FBI agent at their door pursuing them in the same manner that they pursued the Jan. 6ers.

“We should pursue everyone on the Epstein client list in this manner.”

Megyn Kelly, a famous  conservative commentator and Trump supporter, asked the audience a straightforward question on the main stage of the Student Action Summit on Friday night: Bondi or Bongino?

On Friday night, everyone in the crowd yelled, “Bongino!” together.

The weekend’s master of ceremonies, Charlie Kirk, a well-known conservative activist and the leader of Turning Points USA, retorted, “It’s 7,000 to 0.”

Trump’s post followed a day of White House efforts to quell simmering base anger.

Patel wrote on X on Saturday that reports that he was thinking about resigning were “conspiracy theories.”

the White House said in a statement on Friday that Trump still supports all parties involved.

According to White House spokesman Harrison Fields, “President Trump has put together a highly skilled and experienced law and order team committed to protecting Americans, holding criminals accountable, and delivering justice to victims.”

“This work is being done in unison and with ease. The genuine progress being made in restoring public safety and pursuing justice for all is being obscured by any attempt to sow division within this team, which is without merit.

.Steve Bannon, an outspoken Trump supporter, told a crowd at the summit, “Epstein is a key that picks the lock on so many things, not just individuals, but institutions, intelligence institutions, foreign governments, and who’s work and who was working with him on our intelligence apparatus and in our government.”

Bannon stated that he is supporting the appointment of a special counsel by the Trump administration to deal with the issue.

In a statement, he told NBC News, “I support Pam as AG but think a Special Counsel has to be named to take over the Epstein case; however audience sentiment during our live shows at the conference is running 100% against Bondi remaining as AG — never seen anything like it.”

Bondi maintained the controversy in February by presenting Epstein documents to right-wing influencers at the White House.

However, the influencers and Bondi herself insisted that the FBI had more documents that it was withholding, so even that release wasn’t sufficient.

Even though Trump made it apparent that he wants his supporters to move on, the Epstein files were a hot topic this weekend in Tampa, with many attendees and speakers demanding that Bondi be fired.

“To me, it’s not even about Pam Bondi. One attendee, Sharon Allen, 24, said,

“It’s like, look, Trump, we elected you because you were supposed to be different.” “You need to show us that you are different.

You can fire her [Bondi] and do whatever you want, but you are the president at the end of the day, Trump. We had faith in you to expose these individuals and get rid of them.

Anthony Sabatini, a former state representative from Florida who attended the event and was one of Trump’s staunchest supporters in the state legislature, described Trump’s Truth Social post as “out of touch.”

Trump also defended Bondi in his Truth Social message. Attendees of the summit nearly unanimously supported FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino, who both expressed frustration with Bondi’s handling of the Epstein documents, according to NBC News and other outlets.

Before joining the Trump administration, Bongino and Patel used their significant conservative media platforms to spread the narrative that the Epstein case was a part of a government-planned cover-up to shield influential political figures.

“What’s up with my ‘boys’ and, occasionally, ‘gals?'” On Saturday night, Trump wrote. “Attorney General Pam Bondi is doing an AMAZING JOB, and they are all pursuing her!”

Who is Archita Phukan

Archita Phukan resides in the United States an Assami influencer. She was chosen as a “Playboy Lingerie Model” and is 29 years old.

She “plays dress up,” according to her Instagram bio, and her posts are best characterised as NFSW.

 Archita Phukan influencer

whose Instagram handle is “babydoll_archi,” went viral on social media after posting photos of herself with American adult star Kendra Lust.

This sparked news  that Archita Phukan, who moved to the US, might be getting into the adult entertainment business.

She also posted screenshots of news stories that addressed these news, but she refrained from responding to them directly.

Archita Phukan, who currently has over a million Instagram followers, announced that she has contributed Rs 75,000 to two charitable causes.

She gave Rs 30,000 to a platform that helps rescue children  from red-light areas and Rs 45,000 to an NGO’s animal welfare fundraiser.

Since Babydoll Archi once spent Rs 25 lakh to escape dark world of prostitution, her efforts to help children in red-light areas are particularly meaningful to her.

She also helped  the rescue of eight other women who were trapped in prostitution.

She  posted a screenshot of the public survey she ran, in which more than 45,000 persons  took part.

According to the survey, animal welfare and children’s rights were the two most famous  causes.

However, 33% selected “animal welfare,” and 35% selected “children.”

“Dark world of prostitution”

In a moving Instagram post almost two years ago, Archita talked about her difficult past.

It was geotagged to GB Road, the notorious red-light district of the nation’s capital.

Archita Phukan wrote on Instagram, “The past does not define you,” and then went on to say, “After six long years trapped in the dark world of prostitution in India,

I managed to break free from its clutches, despite having paid nearly 25 lakh for my supposed freedom.”

She went on to say that without the help of her “trusted friend,” she would not leave behind her past.

she wrote.

“I was able to free eight other girls/women and give them a new life with the steadfast assistance of a reliable friend and an organisation that supports survivors like me.” “Truly, happiness,”

she added.

She donated Rs 20,000 in 2022, or 30% of her subscription income, to safeguard the children of sex workers..

 

 

 

What plans does China have for exploring deep space and beyond?

Here, we examine how China is extending its deep-space aspirations, from landing astronauts on the moon to retrieving rocks from Mars, and how it is posing the biggest threat to US space leadership in 60 years

tianwen-2

space epoch

. The US Senate recently approved an additional $10 billion for NASA’s Artemis moon exploration program, which is a significant boost to contractors like Boeing.

While many view this as a domestic victory over SpaceX and other newer space players, it also shows the Trump administration’s resolve to stay ahead of China in an increasingly competitive space race.

Chian Tianwen 3 mission is under development stage mission to gather and comeback at least 500 grammes of Martial samples by 2031.

The plan consist of two spacecraft one will land on Mars to scoop, drill and deploy a drone to collect nearby rocks.

The collected material will then be launched into orbit, where a second spacecraft will rendezvous, capture the container, and bring it back to Earth

. In the space race, the United States has long held the lead, but the Chinese program is quickly catching up.

 The US started gathering samples on the red planet in 2021 with its Perseverance over,but there is currently no final plan or launch date for the return mission due to
significant delays and skyrocketing costs.

China has genuine chance of surpassing the United States in solar system 

exploration.

Mega budget cuts to NASA Science programs are creating difficulties for NASA mission to Venus , Jupiter near Earth Asteroids.

China continues to progress. It is preparing for Tianwen -4 which will aim Jupiter and Uranus for leap into outer solar system and launched Tianwen 2 a mission to collect samples from Earth asteroid.

Will the next words spoken on the moon be in Mandarin?

With all of the mega hardware  in prototype stage and huge testing, China hopes to send two astronauts to the moon by 2030.

The Long March-10 moon rocket may make its first flight  next year, and the Chinese program’s Mengzhou crew capsule just passed a important safety test previous month.

China is working on the Wangyu spacesuit and the Lanyue lunar lander, both of which are undergoing testing.

On paper, NASA remains in the lead, with Artemis III aiming for a crewed landing by 2027.

However, there are huge technical challenges for the mission. Its mega lunar lander, a modified SpaceX Starship, needs to be refuelled in orbit.

How committed is China to making a lunar base?

Planning is in progress  for China’s aim  of building  the International Lunar Research Station (ILRS), a permanent base, near to the moon’s south pole by 2035.

The first important  planning meeting was held in 2023 in Wuhan, a central city, with over 100 researchers from universities, labs, and space companies.

In order to test lunar bricks under difficult space enviroment , a team has since developed a method for baking them using simulated soil and sent them to China’s Tiangong space station.

During the Chang’e-8 mission in 2028, China goal to place its first actual brick on the moon.

Using  sunlight, a team in the central province of Anhui has created a 3D printer that can melt lunar soil into bricks good enough for buildings and roads.

They have also developed a prototype to extract water ice, using a bundle of tiny drill needles to heat the moon soil, release vapour and gather it.

Architects in China have proposed various concepts for the research station, consisting of  bases on the open lunar surface, at the bottom of craters, and in underground lava tubes.

Each features various linked modules and is meant to support three to four astronauts during short-term stays.

Will China lead the progress in developing the infrastructure important  for deep space?

By placing the first relay satellite, Queqiao, in a unique halo orbit outside of the moon, China has already made history.

It permits constant communication between China’s Chang’e-4 spacecraft, the first to softly land on the far side of the moon, and Earth from that location.

Even more powerful is its replacement, Queqiao-2, which was launched earlier this year.

Operating in  elliptical lunar orbit, it is designed to support up to 10 missions operating on the lunar far side at the same time.

Chinese scientists have proposed building a BeiDou-like navigation and communication system for the moon and deep space

To provide high-bandwidth communication and real-time navigation services for a moon landing, moon base construction, a crewed landing on Mars, 20 to 30 satellites are planned to be positioned in various orbits around Earth, the moon.

China is taking the lead in developing the vital infrastructure that deep-space exploration will require in the coming decades, while NASA and its partners concentrate on constructing the Gateway lunar station.

What traits  of China’s space program are less popular?

China is  ready for its first planetary defence mission, which will target 2015 XF261, a near-Earth asteroid that is 30 meters wide.

The strategy, which was influenced by NASA’s 2022 Dart mission, calls for crashing one spacecraft into the asteroid to change its trajectory.

All of China’s Chang’e probes, meanwhile, have been assigned  missions. Before contact was lost in 2014, Chang’e-2 flew into deep space and passed by the asteroid Toutatis after orbiting and mapping the moon in 2010.

The Chang’e-5 orbiter flew to the fuel-efficient, gravitationally balanced sun-Earth L1 point for orbit control tests and space environment monitoring in 2020 after delivering  lunar samples.

Later, during the Artemis I mission, NASA’s Orion spacecraft became the second probe to enter a retrograde orbit after it comeback  to the moon.

The Chang’e-6’s lunar orbiter looks to have arrived at the sun-Earth L2 point, where it might be conducting communications and navigation tests.

Future Chinese astronomy flagship projects,  the Earth 2.0 exoplanet-hunting telescope, which is scheduled to launch in 2028, ma get advantage from the mission.

Is China utilizing space to gain friends on Earth?

Definitely. As a result of being shut out of much of the US-led international space community for decades, China has progressed its own capabilities and is now making  itself as a worldwide partner.

China’s Chang’e missions have allowed Pakistan to launch its first satellite into moon  orbit and Europe to land its first scientific instrument on the moon.

China has also enlisted Russia as a major  partner for its planned lunar base,  providing nuclear power systems.

The US-led Artemis Accords are frequently compared to the China-led ILRS.

However, the ILRS is accessible to space agencies, academic institutions, non-profit organisations, and private businesses, in contrast to the more government-focused Artemis framework.

More than  dozen national space agencies have joined.

In a classic soft power move that is reminiscent of America’s own Apollo-era diplomacy, China is  making its lunar samples available to the world.

Although NASA forbids Chinese scientists from accessing Apollo rocks, China this year loaned Chang’e-5 samples to two American researchers due to legal restrictions, they were unable to use NASA funding.

Material from the Chang’e-6 mission, the first and only samples ever returned from the moon’s far side, will be distributed by China, the country has promised.
