THE EPSTEIN CURSE: Failing British PM Starmer Refuses To Resign Over His Appointment of Lord Peter Mandelson as US Ambassador, Is Throwing His Aides Under the Bus (VIDEOS)
British PM Starmer refuses to resign.
The first year of Keir Starmer’s Premiership may well be the last.
Ever since last December, even before Labour peer Lord Peter Mandelson was confirmed as the British Ambassador to the US, we have been reporting here on TGP of the apparent absurdity of the appointment.
We had by then learned – on the documents of the US Virgin Island’s suit against JPMorgan – the deep relationship between ‘Petey’ and the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
Add to that the fact that former Barclay’s CEO Jes Staley received a lifetime ban on working in the British banking system for his Epstein ties, and the choice of Mandelson makes absolutely no sense.
But failing Prime Minister Keir Starmer insisted, and rolled the dice.

Now, after the Mandelson scandal hit big, Starmer is insisting that he will not quit, and is blaming his team for ‘failing to brief him’ on Mandelson’s emails with Epstein.
The Telegraph reported:
“On Monday, the Prime Minister admitted that he had known about emails between Lord Mandelson and the convicted pedophile when he defended the former ambassador to the US in the Commons last week.
However, he claimed he only knew that a Foreign Office investigation was taking place and did not know – nor ask – about the contents of the messages, in which it later emerged that Lord Mandelson urged Epstein to fight for early release from jail.”
‘It was only on Wednesday early evening that I knew the contents of the Bloomberg emails’.

There are now questions over Starmer’s authority, and if Morgan McSweeney, his chief of staff – knew about the emails.
“Speaking on Channel 4 on Monday night, Sir Keir appeared to blame his staff for failing to alert him to the messages before he defended Lord Mandelson at Prime Minister’s Questions.
He said: ‘In retrospect it would have been better if I had been shown the details of the material before PMQs. If you’re asking me now, days on, would it be better if more of this material had been brought expressly to my attention? Then yes, it would have been. But I’m satisfied the team were doing what they could to get the answers out of Peter Mandelson that they needed’.”
‘Had I known at the time, there’s no way I would have appointed him’.

“The Prime Minister suggested he was cross with Lord Mandelson, adding: ‘I am angry. I don’t particularly think anger helps here, but I feel let down. I feel that the process was gone through and now information has come to light which had I known it at the time, I wouldn’t have appointed him. Had I known the nature and extent of the relationship, the fact that he was questioning and challenging the conviction. I’ve worked on violence against women for years, for girls, for many years. I know exactly how all this affects victims’.”

Not What He Expected: Van Jones Asks Black Trump Voters If They Would Vote for Him Again-“1,000% Absolutely Yes!”
Van Jones
During a segment on CNN, leftist Van Jones asked three Black voters who have supported President Trump in the past if they could do it over, would they vote for him again.
The responses were yeses across the board, with one noting emphatically, “1,000% absolutely yes!”
Jones: If you had to do it all over again, would you vote for Donald Trump again, yes or no?
Voter one: Yes, I would. Now, in the future, I am not a diehard Democrat or diehard Republican. If there were a Democratic candidate who was more aligned for me, then I would vote Democrat.
Jones: If you go back in time, would you vote for Donald Trump, yes or no?
Voter two: Yes.
Jones: I think I might know the answer on this.
Voter two: She said yes. It’s immediately yes.
Jones: If you had to draw over again, would you vote for Donald Trump, yes or no?
Voter three: 1,000% absolutely yes!

President Trump Absolutely TORCHES Spoiled U.S. Olympic Athlete Who Whined That It was “Hard” to Represent America Due to ICE Crackdowns

President Trump is livid over a handful of ungrateful U.S. Olympic athletes trashing the greatest nation in the world in front of a global audience and has responded accordingly.
As The Gateway Pundit’s Cassandra MacDonald reported, 27-year-old Hunter Hess, who is competing in freestyle halfpipe, whined to reporters that wearing the American flag “brings up mixed emotions” and is “a little hard” right now because of ICE going after illegals.
Hess added that he’s not the “biggest fan” of much that’s happening in the U.S.
“Just because I’m wearing the flag doesn’t mean I represent everything that’s going on in the U.S. I just kind of want to do it for my friends and family, the people who supported me getting here,” Hess said.
His teammate Chris Lillis, a 27-year-old aerials specialist and gold medalist from the 2022 Beijing Olympics, told reporters he also feels “heartbroken” about ICE raids and protests.
He went on to add that he feels the country needs to “focus on respecting everybody’s rights and making sure that we’re treating our citizens as well as anybody with love and respect.”
The two’s comments were made during a press conference on Friday, just after the Games’ opening ceremony.

When Trump got wind of these remarks, he absolutely went off on Truth Social.
The president decided to focus his ire on Hess, whose comments were the most anti-American. He called Hess a “real loser” who “should have never tried out for the team.”
Trump added that it was “very hard to root for someone like this.”
“U.S. Olympic Skier, Hunter Hess, a real Loser, says he doesn’t represent his Country in the current Winter Olympics,” Trump wrote.
“If that’s the case, he shouldn’t have tried out for the Team, and it’s too bad he’s on it. Very hard to root for someone like this,” he added.
MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

MN Dem Candidate Shares’ ICE Fear’ Food Deliveries — Mom of Daughter Left Disabled by Illegal Hits Back

Minnesota Congressional candidate, Democrat Kaela Berg, perhaps inspired by Olympic fever, is certainly competing for woke-gold, and the mother of a young woman permanently disabled by an illegal was not impressed with Berg’s virtue signalling.
On Saturday, Berg shared a self-congratulatory video delivering food to people “scared to leave their homes because of ICE.”
“We just finished delivering groceries to folks too afraid to leave their homes because of this ICE occupation in our community,” she preened on camera.
“An amazing amount of people have put together their boxes of produce and meat as well as toilet paper and diapers for those that need it….to dry goods…even some treats to help our neighbors. And we will continued to do this as long as we need to.”

Berg’s self-aggrandizement fell flat for the mother of 22-year-old Colorado woman Carissa Aspnes. On March 28, 2025, Carissa was catastrophically injured in a hit-and-run crash on March 28, 2025. The suspect, an illegal who entered the U.S. during the Biden administration, allegedly crashed into her vehicle and fled the scene.
Carissa survived but suffered permanent, severe disabilities: she is wheelchair-bound, nonverbal, minimally conscious, unable to smile or laugh, and requires full-time care.
Carissa’s mother responded to Berg’s post, noting, “My daughter could use a meal since she can no longer go to the grocery store for herself after she got hit by an illegal alien that fled and left her for dead.”
“While you’re at it, you can stay and feed her a meal through her g-tube since she can no longer eat by mouth.”
