This is the Wilmington Standard Daily Update for Wednesday November 13, 2025.

Just on schedule, the Democrats are all about [The Epstein Files](https://thewilmingtonstandard.com/opinons/putting-epstein-to-ground) again.

It makes sense. The modern day “Who Shot JFK” conspiracy is always great fodder for whoever is out of power to try to attract attention to themselves and away from the stories of the administration. Trump did it during the Biden years. And now it is the Democrat’s turn.

We are deporting some of the most vile people on the planet. But what about Epstein?

We redid the tax code to ensure Americans keep more of their money. But what about Epstein?

The government is now open after the Schumer Shutdown denied paychecks to the military and disrupted SNAP payments. But what about Epstein – and don’t call it the Schumer Shutdown.

The governor of Illinois yesterday said President Trump would go to war with Venezuela to draw attention away from – you guessed – Epstein.

We never really will know the entirety of the Epstein case. His trial and prosecution was mangled from the start by the Palm Beach State Attorney and tragically ended with the criminal negligence of prison staff that allowed the sex offender to kill himself. Any finality that we could get from this case died with Epstein that day.

We also know that President Trump knew Epstein – they moved in the same circles as all the fantastically wealthy. But we also know that if anything – anything at all – indicted President Trump – whether it was emails, plane records, witness stories or the vaguest of innuendoes – the Democrats would have released it years ago. That won’t stop them – and we will continue to have news stories heralding the release of even more documents in the Left’s never ending quest to bring down Trump.

But the more the Democrats cry about Epstein – the more we know the Republicans are winning and getting things done to make this country better and safer for us and for our children. The louder they squeal, the more effective we know Republicans are being.

It almost makes it worthwhile.

For the Wilmington Standard, I’m Reuel Sample. Thanks for listening.
