<TriceEdneyWire.com> — The Tangerine Man is trying to have us remain silent about his friendship with the notorious Jeffrey Epstein. He’s filed yet another lawsuit to silence the Wall Street Journal.    He says he told them not to publish the article about a relationship he is trying to forget. But he denies any participation and has the backing of Atty. General Pam Bondi. However, she at first said she had the list of Trump’s close buddies who partied with him and underage girls. But now they both deny any wrongdoing on the part of Tangerine Man. Nevertheless, 89% of the people want the full records released!

There are numerous pictures of Trump and Epstein partying together. They talk about women, describing the kind of women they like, such as those on the younger side. All this is available. We see him at his home laughing, bopping, and whispering to Epstein about the women in the room. We don’t know where things went from there with other friends, but we do know some of the young women victims have talked about what happened to them with Trump and Epstein.

I have great sympathy for the women who were exploited and still suffer from the experiences. Their stories disappeared until now.  While the pain will never go away, perhaps the truth about what happened to them will give them peace to know someone finally believed them and cared. Hopefully, the perpetrators will be exposed for the alleged crimes against them and will serve prison time.

There’s so much going on in the world! We want to let the MAGA and ex-MAGA people work to resolve their chaos and give the victims some sense of justice.

I want to spend the rest of my column talking about great men and women and what they are doing to make this a better world. If you haven’t already become acquainted with Captain Ibrahim Traore’ of Burkina Faso in Africa, I want to urge you to do so. He represents the best of being a man. Also, let’s see what’s going on with great women and what they’re doing for their country.

Capt. Traore,’ as a young man, met Blaise Compaore’ (a man I had met years ago and had high hopes for him—but now he’s living in exile). Traore’ also met Jerry Rawlings of Ghana, and he learned from him. One day, Traore’ rose up as a leader at great risk and said: “We’re not our grandfathers. We don’t beg. We don’t bow. We fight back with Africa in our hearts.”

For too many years, he have witnessed resources of the continent being stolen by outsiders, while they did nothing to upgrade and improve life for our brothers and sisters in Africa. When Traore’ spoke, other African leaders stood with him. African women stood with him actively. They’re now (without fancy tools) using their hands and building roads to connect with their children’s schools and other important community places. Some are working all day elsewhere. After work they’re spending time building those roads. The women have declared: “If Captain Traore’ can risk his life for our country, then we can be here to do our part.”

I pray for them while knowing the danger they face. But even more, I pray for the men and women in this country who are silent. They are without that kind of faith in each other. But we can still overcome the actions of our current president who is doing everything he can to set us back, to dishonor our ancestors, to disregard our history and our contributions to this country. While many are trying to turn back the hands of time, we’re finding too many of our people joining them and working against our best interests. I pray that we’ll take a lesson from the people of Burkina Faso and come together while others are trying to tear us down.
