It’s great to see the wave of outrage forming, but I wish it could be channeled more productively to help the many thousands of other young girls being assaulted by other Jeffrey Epsteins out there. “They’re not billionaires, but it happens all the time,” Shelia Faye Simpkins, who was pimped from the age of 14, told me. And many of the victims are treated even worse than they were in the Epstein case: They’re arrested. Simpkins said she was arrested about 200 times; her pimp, never. President Trump and Ivanka Trump have both talked a good game about making the battle against human trafficking a priority of the administration, and the attention they give the issue is welcome. But it has all been hot air. The administration in fact is prosecuting fewer traffickers, has canceled a housing program for trafficking survivors, and has made visas for trafficking survivors harder to get. Let’s try to leverage the outrage at Epstein to do more to [attack the broader problem of human trafficking itself.](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfX8A7P0TyaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAxOS8wOS8xNC9vcGluaW9uL3N1bmRheS9odW1hbi10cmFmZmlja2luZy1qZWZmcmV5LWVwc3RlaW4uaHRtbD90ZT0xJm5sPW5pY2hvbGFzLWtyaXN0b2YmZW1jPWVkaXRfbmtfMjAxOTA5MTQ_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NDUmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTIzOTMmc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNzAzMiZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3JnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTJXA255dEIKACQ7O31duGfDX1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA) ADVERTISEMENT ~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfX8A7P0RtaHR0cHM6Ly9saXZlaW50ZW50Lm5ld3lvcmt0aW1lc2luZm8uY29tL2NsaWNrP3M9MTYxOTg3JmxpPU5LJm09YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDcmcD1OS18yMDE5MDkxNFcDbnl0QgoAJDs7fV24Z8NfUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~ ~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfX8A7P0RtaHR0cHM6Ly9saXZlaW50ZW50Lm5ld3lvcmt0aW1lc2luZm8uY29tL2NsaWNrP3M9MTYxOTg5JmxpPU5LJm09YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDcmcD1OS18yMDE5MDkxNFcDbnl0QgoAJDs7fV24Z8NfUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~ ~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfX8A7P0RtaHR0cHM6Ly9saXZlaW50ZW50Lm5ld3lvcmt0aW1lc2luZm8uY29tL2NsaWNrP3M9MTYxOTg4JmxpPU5LJm09YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDcmcD1OS18yMDE5MDkxNFcDbnl0QgoAJDs7fV24Z8NfUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~ President Trump and Crown Prince of Bahrain President Trump is set to meet the crown prince of Bahrain on Monday. Bahrain has gone from a wonderful, tolerant and modernizing nation to a harsh dictatorship, and as it happens one of its imprisoned human rights leaders, Nabeel Rajab, is due for a hearing the very next day.

In response, I suggest a call for Israel to provide the vote in Israeli elections to all Palestinians in the West Bank. In other words, Israel shouldn’t be allowed to let Jews — but not Palestinians — on the West Bank vote. Granted, many Palestinians would refuse to vote (as do many Palestinians in East Jerusalem), but the principle is that with no two-state solution in sight this system of ruling over disenfranchised Palestinians must not continue indefinitely. A democracy should give the vote to people it rules. So let Palestinians vote! Democratic Debates So what did you think of the presidential debate on Thursday night? My take was that Joe Biden did better than before with some strong moments, but also some periods in which he seemed rambling and almost incoherent. So overall I didn’t think he helped himself. I gave top marks to Elizabeth Warren, who productively kept reminding people that she’s a working class kid from Oklahoma, and to Cory Booker, who is smart, warm and eloquent and would be a very strong general election nominee. I also was again impressed by Pete Buttigieg, who is simply the most articulate candidate I can remember since Bill Clinton, and also by Amy Klobuchar, who presents a compelling narrative as sensible and electable. I posted this opinion on Facebook, so if you disagree with me [you can explain your thoughts there.](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfX8A7P0TcaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZmFjZWJvb2suY29tL2tyaXN0b2YvcG9zdHMvMTAxNTg4OTgzMDMxMjc4OTE_X190bl9fPS1SJnRlPTEmbmw9bmljaG9sYXMta3Jpc3RvZiZlbWM9ZWRpdF9ua18yMDE5MDkxND9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD00NSZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMjM5MyZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE3MDMyJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MlcDbnl0QgoAJDs7fV24Z8NfUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~) ADVERTISEMENT ~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfX8A7P0RtaHR0cHM6Ly9saXZlaW50ZW50Lm5ld3lvcmt0aW1lc2luZm8uY29tL2NsaWNrP3M9MTI4ODA4JmxpPU5LJm09YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDcmcD1OS18yMDE5MDkxNFcDbnl0QgoAJDs7fV24Z8NfUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~ ~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfX8A7P0RtaHR0cHM6Ly9saXZlaW50ZW50Lm5ld3lvcmt0aW1lc2luZm8uY29tL2NsaWNrP3M9MTI4ODA5JmxpPU5LJm09YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDcmcD1OS18yMDE5MDkxNFcDbnl0QgoAJDs7fV24Z8NfUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~ ~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfX8A7P0RtaHR0cHM6Ly9saXZlaW50ZW50Lm5ld3lvcmt0aW1lc2luZm8uY29tL2NsaWNrP3M9MTI4ODEwJmxpPU5LJm09YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDcmcD1OS18yMDE5MDkxNFcDbnl0QgoAJDs7fV24Z8NfUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~ What I Am Reading I haven’t had as many book recommendations lately as usual, partly because I’ve read a string of books that I don’t particularly recommend. So let me mention again some books from earlier this year that I really liked: the George Packer biography of Richard Holbrooke; Stephen Pearlstein’s “Can American Capitalism Survive”; Steven Greenhouse’s new history of the labor movement, “Beaten Down, Worked Up”; and Graeme Simsion’s Rosie trilogy of sweet and funny novels about a man on the autism spectrum.
