Current Clinton Deposition Update as of 2/26/2026

Hillary Under Oath: "I Do Not Recall Ever Encountering Mr. Epstein"

"Testifying behind closed doors today, Hillary Clinton maintained she had 'no knowledge' of Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes and denies ever meeting him personally. While she acknowledged her husband's charitable trips on Epstein's plane, she dismissed the entire deposition as a partisan distraction from other investigations.”


Welcome to Beyond the Bottle: Finding the Light Together

​Hi everyone, I’m Clara.

​If you’ve found your way here, chances are you’re looking for something a little deeper than the usual headlines. You’re looking for the truth, for connection, and maybe—like me—for a reason to keep believing in the best of us.

​Why "Beyond the Bottle"?

​For me, "the bottle" represents anything that clouds our vision or keeps us from seeing each other clearly. As someone in recovery, I know firsthand that life only truly begins when you’re willing to look past the surface and do the hard work of seeking the truth.

​I’m bringing that same spirit to this blog. Whether I’m diving into the heartbeat of our country or sharing a personal reflection, I’m doing it with a lens of Red, White, and Blue and an unwavering hope for humanity.

​What You’ll Find Here

​This isn't just a political blog or a personal diary; it’s a space for Unifying Us Together. You can expect:

  • Heartfelt Reflections: On motherhood, recovery, and life by the ocean.
  • Honest Conversations: About the state of our world and how we can find common ground.
  • A Focus on the Future: Because as a mother and a believer in the American spirit, I know we have so much worth fighting for.

​A Seat at the Table

​I’m just a woman who loves her pets, her fiancé, and her country, trying to turn the light on in a room that’s felt a little dark lately. I believe that the truth doesn't have a side—it only has a light—and I’m so honored to have you here to help me find it.

​Thank you for joining me on this journey. Grab a cup of coffee, stay a while, and let’s look beyond the bottle together.

With hope,

Clara

Nuclear Secrets in the Shower: The High Cost of the FBI Purge

          There is a bitter irony at the heart of American justice today: it seems the best way to get a 'get out of jail free' card is to be part of the inner circle. While the Department of Justice continues to gatekeep the infamous Epstein files—leaving the public to wonder who is truly being protected—it has spent the last few years handing out 'shields' to its own. Take FBI Director Kash Patel, a man who once refused to testify until the DOJ granted him limited immunity. Today, the man who needed a legal safety net to stay out of a courtroom is the one cutting the lines for everyone else. On Wednesday, Patel fired 10 veteran FBI agents who led the investigation into nuclear secrets found stashed in a Mar-a-Lago shower. By sealing the final report and firing the witnesses, the message is clear: in this new era, the law isn't a flashlight—it’s a cloak. When the people who know where the bodies (and the boxes) are buried get a pink slip while the suspects get a promotion, you aren't looking at 'reform.' You’re looking at a disappearing act."
