Did you see what just happened??? (Or at least what we just now found out about)
In news that is literally taking over the UK as we speak, it was just reported that the Trump administration used the American military to sneak an American diplomat out of the United Kingdom after it was found that he had child pornography on his phone and in his apartment. It appears the entire goal was to get him out of the country before he could be questioned by British police. It also appears the Trump administration completely cleared out his apartment of any evidence.
Like….ummmmm…..WTF.
Imagine if Barack Obama’s administration had done this.
Imagine if it was Joe Biden.
Imagine if Mamdani or ANY MUSLIM had done such a thing.
The outrage would be OVERWHELMING. I literally think conservatives would be calling for heads and threatening to overthrow the government if it was reported that ANYONE other than Trump was smuggling such a man out of the UK in the dark of the night.
This is why I believe independent journalism has to be willing to make powerful people uncomfortable. We cannot let the seriousness of an allegation depend on whether the president’s supporters find it politically convenient. If you value that work, become a member of The North Star and help me keep doing it.
Family, as most of you know, I am just about 1 month away from a life-altering spinal surgery. I said that to say - I have never been known for holding my tongue or filtering my words to be politically correct, but a month out of surgery - I truly don’t care what people think about my words. So let me speak VERY PLAINLY.
Trump protects pedophiles either because he was one, is one, likes them, or just doesn’t have a problem with them.
His entire campaign and the entire MAGA movement was about “holding the Epstein class accountable” and “releasing all of the Epstein files,” but as soon as Trump took office, it was painfully clear he had no intention on doing any such thing - even if it tore his entire movement apart.
To protect pedophiles Trump has lost Joe Rogan and Theo Vonn. He has lost Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens. This man has literally lost Alex Jones. In part, they all actually believed Trump and his team were going to hold pedophiles accountable.
It was all a lie.
Trump was literally “best friends” with Jeffrey Epstein for nearly a decade. And it is universally hailed that Epstein was an intelligence asset for Israel. To hold the Epstein class accountable Trump would have to turn himself into authorities. He is the living embodiment of the Epstein class.
But now, to literally sneak an American accused of having child porn out of the country in the dark of the night so that he couldn’t be questioned??? Like what are even talking about. Politicians in the UK are PISSED. Conservatives and liberals alike.
How does a single Trump supporter justify supporting this man any more? It’s why his approval rating is at a record low 32%, but that 32% should literally be ashamed of themselves.
Do you know what conservatives would be saying about the ENTIRE RELIGION OF ISLAM if any Muslim politician did such a thing? They would be talking about banning Muslims, deporting Muslims, and banning Sharia law.
But when it’s a literal member of the Trump administration - they seem to not even care.
If you want journalism that refuses to lower its standards when powerful people become uncomfortable, join The North Star as a monthly, annual, or founding member. Your support helps me keep asking questions that deserve answers.

Why the fuck didn’t the British put him under arrest and refused to release him? He had no diplomatic immunity.
