Latest Commentary: Andrew, Formerly Known as Prince, Arrested -- Thames Valley Police [TVP] have arrested Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the former prince of the realm and ex-Duke of York, on suspicion of misconduct in public office. As of this writing, he is still in custody. TVP are searching his homes in Berkshire and Norfolk. This occurred after a "thorough assessment," of the evidence and an official investigation is open. It looks bad for Mr. Mountbatten-Windsor, the Royal Family and anyone else in the Epstein Files. The American government has attempted to hush this all up, but they have no influence over TVP, the British media nor the other European nations with nationals in the files. [19 February] Edmonton MP Crosses Floor to Liberals -- Matt Jeneroux has represented a riding in Edmonton, Alberta, since 2015 as a Conservative. Today, he sits in the House of Commons as a Liberal. This is the third such defection from the Tories to the Grits in the last 4 months. Much of it is spurred on by Prime Minister Mark Carney's refusal to be a lackey to Donald Trump. This brings Mr. Carney to within 3 seats of a majority, which would give the Liberals more ability to enact programs and policies. It also calls into question the future of the Conservatives under Pierre Poilievre. [18 February] AG Bondi Says Release of Epstein Files Complete -- Attorney-General Pam Bondi lives many times zones away from the truth. In her latest lie, she has stated that all the Epstein Files have been released that can be released and that the job is done. She is a lawyer, and she knows that that is untrue. Congresspersons have seen the unredacted files, and they state that there are redacted names that should be unredacted. The law that requires their release included internal charging memoranda which explain why a case was or was not persued. Ms. Bondi withheld them on the grounds of attorney-client privilege, which is not allowed under the Epstein Files Tranparency Act, and it begs the question of who is the client? Congress now must do something. Impeachment is appropriate. [16 February] AG Bondi Brings Circus to House Hearings -- Attorney-General Pam Bondi performed her single trick of combative obnoxiousness during her testimony yesterday in front of the House Judiciary Committee. That she is partisan in a role that demands non-partisanship is a problem. That she views any Congressional supervision as an affront to decency is a problem. That she is incompetent is a problem. That she is unwilling and unable to explain her decisions is a problem. Yesterday, though, she took her act to new depths of awfulness. When she is out of office, she loses all protections from legal action. She will prove to be John Mitchell, Richard Nixon's AG, in heels. Mr. Mitchell went to jail though Mr. Nixon did not. [12 February] US Created Only 181,000 Jobs in All of 2025 -- The Bureau of Labor Statistics finally issued the Non-Farm Payroll report this morning, delayed from Friday because of the government shutdown (the official pretext). It showed that, in January 2026, the US created 130,000 jobs, abd the unemployment rate ticked down to 4.3% from 4.4%. That would be anemic in the Obama years, and it is not great now. Yet buried in the report is a figure that should be headline news everywhere. In all of 2025, the US created a total of 181,000 new jobs. This is markedly down from the 584,000 initially reported. On a monthly basis, that means just 15,000 jobs were created each month of last year. [11 February] © Copyright 2026 by The Kensington Review, Jeff Myhre, PhD, Editor.
