Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Tuesday, February 10, 2026

A GOP senator is suddenly furious about the Epstein files after initially saying that she "didn't care" about the late pedophile's crimes. Wyoming Sen. Cynthia Lummis, 71, told reporter Pablo Manriquez that she now understands why his crimes are a "big deal" after reviewing unredacted Epstein files on Monday. "I've not been one of the members who has glommed on to this as an issue," said Lummis. "I've sort of intentionally deferred to others to find out about it. But 9-year-old victims ... wow." "Initially, my reaction to all this was, I don't care. I don't see what the big deal is.' But now I see what the big deal is," she added. "The members of Congress who were pushing this were not wrong."

Wonder what the age threshold is for MAGAts to care about this. And will it actually cost Trump any significant loss in their support when they finally realize just how involved he was?

Pedo 47's name is mentioned more than a million times in the unredacted Trumpstein files.

"Sen. Cynthia Lummis, Republican of Wyoming, announced on December 19, 2025, that she will not seek re-election to the U.S. Senate in 2026, ending her one-term tenure after serving since 2021."

Death bed confessions are the least believable confessions.

If she says she'll vote to impeach President Trump, then we will consider the possibility her words mean something.

If there are nine-year-olds, there are six and seven-year-olds.

"She was nine, but she had the body of a twelve year old."

How are you, Snoofy?

Death-bed confessions actually hold more weight in court or inquiries than you might be aware of.

A crewmember who survived the Titanic sinking kept denying for decades that his good friend committed suicide during the lifeboat operations.

On his deathbed in the mid-1960s, he finally confessed that indeed his friend "Will" did shoot himself.

He couldn't live with it any more.

This incident was immortalized in the film Titanic: www.youtube.com

The shooting of the Irish passengers by the Englishman may have been fictionalized, I'm not sure.

Other deathbed confessions that raised serious eyebrows include the last words of novelist Graham Greene, Mother Teresa (who was beatified after her passing), and an elderly mobster reportedly somehow involved in JFK's assassination who muttered "we killed the wrong Kennedy" before the Grim Reaper collected him.

Oh, I don't doubt the sincerity. It's all the insincerity in the years prior that renders them somewhat less than convincing for me. I'm speaking about the person, not the veracity of the confession. It has "serial murderer gets into Heaven by accepting Jesus moments before the throw the switch on Old Sparky" vibes.
