#225. Stop trying to make Epstein happen
Welcome to the NRP. We are curating the best of those extremely-online extremists known as the "New Right."
🧵Threads of the Week 🧵
> Every few months an issue flairs up that splits the Right in half (or at least the e-right). Today it’s Epstein. Trump somewhat suddenly wants you to stop nagging him about it. The plan distrusters think he’s covering his ass or Israel’s, because “Epstein” actually means something much bigger and deeper than one guy’s misdeeds. Some Trump die-hards think “Epstein” is a tangle of low-IQ innuendo and conspiracy. Others acknowledge that the conspiracy is real, but a salacious distraction from the main event: deportations. Whatever the case, this isn’t just going to go away.
> Alt-right it-girl Lauren Southern is shilling a new book, accusing Andrew Tate of the worst thing you can accuse someone of, and the response has been less than sympathetic, with others revealing even more sordid details.
> We used to have big ol’ trees.
> Put down the Beard and read your Gibbon.
> Area Greek has some ideas about how to cure Will Stancil of his commitment to multiculturalism, and they involve goats.

>
ruffled feathers this week with an op-ed for The Critic in which he lambasted temperamental, unguarded rightists for making themselves and their associates easy targets for embarrassment by malicious leftoid infiltrators. He followed up with a more charitable and clarifying essay on the virtues of gatekeeping.
> Also for the Critic, Tom Jones warns against mere blokeishness as a political platform.
>

> For the
, isn’t mad, he’s just disappointed, about the handling of the Epstein files. They hyped this thing, that they’re now calling a nothingburger, to the hilt. It’s their fault we can’t let it go.
> When all this sexy, scandalous stuff is happening, leave it to procedurally-minded Inez Feltscher Stepman to remind you that Trump’s most important wins may be his most boring.
>
wrote about how it’s the “mass” part of mass migration that’s the real trouble. Things break down when the civic body can’t metabolize the mukbang fast enough.

The Dad Shuffle is universal. My dad does it when my little nephew is getting too close to the grill. My brother-in-law does it when my nephew is about to fall off the swing.
It’s what keeps generations of men together.
Its close cousin is the mom shuffle at the swimming pool. This is when the mom sees that the 10-year-old brother is trying to drown his eight-year-old sister so she runs, although cautiously because it’s a swimming pool, to stop the madness.
