FRIDAY, MARCH 13, 2026
Not with a bang but a poser: "Nothing beside remains."
It's a famous line from "Ozymandias," a famous poem by the famous Shelley about what happens to fame.
Also, about what happens to societal power, and possibly just to societies.
By the end of the sonnet, nothing is left of the greatness enjoyed, long before, by the mighty Ozymandias (the Egyptian pharaoh Ramesses II, 1303 BC – 1213 BC).
"Nothing beside remains," we're told at the end of the offering. "Round the decay / Of that colossal wreck"—in its day, it had been a free-standing statue of the mighty pharaoh—"...The lone and level sands stretch far away."
To our eye, it's a bit like that when we watch what happened last week on The Five. And then again, five hours later, on Gutfeld! (and elsewhere in Red America).
Also, it's a bit like that when we consider the fact that publications like The Atlantic have no plan to discuss the way the very possibility of the American project is being worn away, buried deep in sand.
The numbing stupidity we witnessed last week is (almost) all that remains of the American project (such as it has been). All that remains is that stupidity, enabled by the self-protective silence of Blue America's imitation of a journalistic elite.
Tomorrow, we'll show you something that's massively better—something involving President Clinton and one of Jeffrey Epstein's survivors. (She was 22 at the time.)
Tomorrow, something much better! Sadly, though, the mugs were clowning hard, and having big fun, on the Fox News Channel last week.
They were having major tribal fun as millions of misled people watched. They were having big fun about a pleasing event—about an event which never happened.
With that, we briefly return to what happened on The Five on Tuesday evening, March 3.
No, Tyrus—and Jesse and Emily! We're sorry, but no! There was no time in his deposition on Friday, February 27 when former president Clinton behaved in the way your corporate owners instructed you to pretend that he had behaved.
It's as we explained in Monday's report—as you can plainly see if you simply look at the line of questioning being pursued in the moments at issue. The questioning at that time actually went like this:
President Clinton and his attorney, Cheryl Mills, had been handed a New York Times article about the many celebrity photos found inside Jeffrey Epstein's squalid Gotham mansion.
As you can see by clicking here, there were many celebrity photos on display inside that broken-souled mansion. There was even a photo of Jeffrey Epstein with the former pope!
Also, there was one photo—let's repeat that rather small number—of Epstein with the former president. There was one such photo on display, among the many others.
During the deposition in question, the chief counsel for the House Oversight Committee had questioned Clinton about that one photo. His line of questioning had been quite inconsequential. It had basically taken things nowhere.
As the chief counsel considered his next line of questioning, Clinton and Mills perused the material they had been given during that line of questioning. They were perusing a copy of the New York Times report about all the celebrity photos—and at that point, the CEO of the Fox News Channel decided to let the mutts out.
In they rushed, tongues exposed, bushy tails a-waggin'! Four nights later, on the Gutfeld! program, the nutty host of that program teased the segment like this:
Up next! Bill's trip down memory lane!
After a commercial break, the strange man began pretending. We're sorry, but the very possibility of the American project can't survive moral and intellectual disorder this vast and this astounding.
"Bill really enjoys the deposition," he soon sang, introducing the segment. Then, as a brief bit of video played, he proceeded to pretend that this is what was happening as Clinton and Mills looked at the material in question.
He was doing a Clinton impression as he behaved this way:
GUTFELD (3/3/26): "I did that one. I did that one! I remember her! She was wild!"
The lid had been pried off the garbage can, as occurs on this primetime "cable news" program most nights.
As we've noted, someone has told this program's host that he had to stop comparing the women of The View to cows and pigs and horses and whales and to generic "livestock." But he's still encouraged to behave in the way he behaved this night—and as his studio audience laughed, the nutcase now turned to one of his panel's halfwits:
GUTFELD: So Mike, that was Clinton flipping through old Epstein pictures, smiling and nodding at the deposition last week. His attorney even had to pull the damn thing away from him! How can you not like him!
[LAUGHTER]
To whom was this disordered man speaking? Let the word go forth to the nations! This was the pig-pile that night:
Gutfeld!: Tuesday, 3/3/26
Tyrus: former professional "wrestler"
Kat Timpf: comedian
Greg Gutfeld: host
Dave Landau: comedian
Mike Benz: Foundation For Freedom Online
So read the list of the helpmates.
As Gutfeld turned to the hapless Benz, he was describing a pleasing event—an event which hadn't happened! Joining the assault on societal possibility, the panelist knew how to play it:
BENZ: Look, it's crazy, because Bill Clinton kind of is what— If Jeffrey Epstein became president, it would be Bill Clinton...They are kind of a perfect fit.
What are the odds that two people like this wouldn't [find each other]? You have like the perfect embodiment.
GUTFELD: He doesn't care, Kat, any more. Look at him! He doesn't care if you think he's an old horn dog. Look at that
AUDIENCE: Laughter
(Returning to his Clinton impression]
"Look at that! Let me see that again!"
Once again, it must be said—nothing like that was actually happening in the videotape that was playing on the Fox News Channel screen. Gutfeld and his gruesome guest were staging a remarkable slander—a remarkable slander which was being performed for millions of misled viewers.
Nothing like that had actually happened! It fell to the horrendous climber Timpf to take us all the way down Frost's "seven levels of the world."
"The lovely shall be choosers," Frost wrote. Horrendously, Timpf made her choice:
TIMPF: Honestly, he is probably the first person ever if the history of depositions who wishes he took a Cialis first.
GUTFELD (stage laughter): Ha ha ha ha ha haaaaa! He also is probably the only one at a deposition who wishes it had gone longer.
AUDIENCE: Laughter
TIMPF: Yeah. Yeah.
GUTFELD [performing Clinton impression]: "Do you have any more pictures?"
TIMPF: Yeah. He was like, "Can I take these home? Can I go to the bathroom for a few minutes? But with these?"
The children were happily playing. Moments later, Timpf even chose to say this:
TIMPF: You know, I'm not sure, but I'm starting to suspect that he might like to have sex with really young women.
GUTFELD: Not underage women, but—what did he say? Underage females! "I will not have sex with underage females." That's what he said.
Needless to say, that isn't something the former president actually said. Meanwhile, it's time for the poser Timpf to just go home and stay there.
Her posing has gone on and on. It's time for the roadshow to stop.
These corporate tools were describing a pleasing set of events—a tribally pleasing set of events which actually hadn't occurred. They were doing so on one of the most watched shows in American "cable news"—on a show whose audience is more than twice the size of the typical primetime MS NOW audience.
Gutfeld now turned to a former "wrestler"—to a news analyst who still had no earthly idea concerning the basics of what had happened four and five days earlier.
He was on the show to discuss news events. Monster truck blowhard that he is, he still didn't have the first f*cking idea concerning what had happened.
First on The Five, then on this show, it was clear that "Tyrus" thought that Bill and Hillary Clinton had been deposed during a single joint session. In fact, Hillary Clinton had been deposed on Thursday, February 26. Her husband was deposed one day later.
"Tyrus" didn't quite know that! Four and five days later, the giant blowhard began faking it hard after Gutfeld said this:
GUTFELD: Tyrus, that was a trip down memory lane.
At that point, the giant blowhard started faking it hard. He pictured a car ride home from a joint deposition—a car ride straight out of an earlier age, an age in which the shrewish wife is constantly banging the henpecked husband upside the poor guy's head.
"Tyrus" routinely paints such pictures on this throwback "cable news" program. At one point on this particular evening, he explained what Bill Clinton would do "if he has any brans in his head."
We're going to let that stupidity sit right there. Please don't ask us to comment.
The giant blowhard went on and on about the shrewish wife of his own inner torments. Finally, let the word go forth to the nations! At long last, the time had come for the male comedian to explain what had occurred!
When Gutfeld threw to the fellow in question, this is what Gutfeld said:
GUTFELD: You know, Dave, this could actually—this is my theory—prove his innocence!
He's looking at these pictures and he's like, "How did I miss this?" He's like looking like, "This wasn't here when I was there! Wait a minute! I never had that! That wasn't even on the menu!"
By "this" and "that," this woman-loathing older man was referring to the various underage females whose enticing photos Clinton was supposedly ogling.
They could have been "on the menu" when Clinton took his trips on Epstein's plane! Regrettably, though, they weren't! That's the way this underdeveloped guy still pictures this realm of two genders.
That was the "theory" this monster threw out. When the comedian took his turn, this is the garbage which started to seep from the Fox News garbage can:
LANDAU: I think he's looking at it like the first time you see a Playboy. He's just so excited he doesn't know what to do.
This world-class numbskull continued from there. Soon he was offering this. Could someone give him a Cialis?
LANDAU: This is actually quite an admission of guilt, if I'm being honest...I don't blame him for going to a sex island. I'm not saying you should go with underage—I'm saying, Hillary!
GUTFELD: Yeah!
LANDAU: I mean, he's been crawling into bed with—I don't think they even share a bed. I'm pretty sure she sleeps in a coffin.
AUDIENCE: Laughter, applause
TYRUS: After that testimony, that coffin was built for him.
This is who, and this is what, these underfed fellows are. We know that they could do much better—but at Fox, they're paid to do this.
By the eternal rules of the game, the time had come to pity Bill Clinton for being married to Hillary Clinton. On this gruesome show, the host never tired of insulting liberal women in their 80s for not being sexy enough.
We've entered the realm of the throwback brigade—the angry men who, for whatever reason, haven't been willing or able to keep up. Now, the comedian had trashed Hillary Clinton—and he had explicitly said that her husband had, in fact, gone to Jeffrey Epstein's "sex island!"
From the start, that claim has been flatly denied. These children are paid not to quit it.
Soon, the children were saying this:
LANDAU: It's bad that he's mouthing their names.
GUTFELD: Yes! Ha ha haaaaa! Oh, that's my favorite video. I could watch this for days—and I will!
We don't doubt that he'll do that! In fairness, we've said many times that he could certainly do much better, and that his employer should be getting him some much-needed help.
At any rate, this is the garbage this "cable news" channel sends out every night. Over at The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg isn't willing to report the fact that this occurs.
The New York Times is also committed to the act of averting its gaze. I our own view, it's hard to believe that a large modern nation can expect to function, to survive, in this way.
With great tribal joy, the island of misfit cable news messenger children had described a tribally pleasing event—an event which hadn't occurred.
Over here in Blue America, this is the dangerous garbage our cowardly lions have chosen to avoid. As with Ozymandias, so too here:
This is the downfall they've chosen
Tomorrow: The Epstein survivor's (beautifully heartfelt) tale.
Though also, a word about lizards
