I'm betting said developers are shipping out resumes right now. As this techhie writes, the role of the software engineer <a href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!poAi!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffa761cc5-cc77-4257-b732-681226eecbec_1291x422.png?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">is shifting from writing code to managing AI robots.</a> Elon Musk says that soon working will be optional. Well, gee, it already is for 50% of the DemoKKKrat Terror Party. But he also predicts prices for goods will drop dramatically and people won't even have to save for retirement any more---not that many do today.<a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/subway-coders-friday-february-13?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=187858809&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> See Jeff Childers' discussion of this in his "Coffee & Covid" column today.</a> This study, meanwhile, <a href="https://www.remotelabor.ai/paper.pdf" target="_blank">says AI is failing at over 95% of jobs. Sorta like an illegal.</a> David Blackmon, the Rush Limbaugh of Energy, says really the <a href="https://blackmon.substack.com/p/the-do-or-die-ai-race?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=712558&post_id=187733646&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">whole AI race only comes down to one question, "Us or Chy=na?"</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>16) As Martin Lawrence's character would say in "Bad Boys," "this s . . .t is about to get real." Yes it is. Microsoft's CEO says that most white collar jobs---get it, not just tech?---<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/ai/microsoft-ai-ceo-warns-most-white-collar-jobs-will-be-fully-automated-within-next-12-18-months?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=7218" target="_blank">will be fully automated in the next 12-18 months.</a> Challenger showed that fully 7% of the job losses in January were due to AI. Folks, forget H1Bs: this is the threat. <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/new-gig-economy-job-train-ai-replaces-you" target="_blank">Mercor just hired thousands of lawyers, doctors, writers, and thousands of "white-collar contractors"</a> to . . . wait for it . . . train its AI to take their jobs. Oh, and my little techless friends, it gets better. Anthropic warns that its <a href="https://www-cdn.anthropic.com/f21d93f21602ead5cdbecb8c8e1c765759d9e232.pdf" target="_blank">Claude could be used for "heinous crimes" including developing chemical weapons.</a> And you morons don't pull the plug? Its latest Opus 4.6 shows inclinations to <i>deceive or manipulate</i> other developers. Equally concerning,<a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c62dlvdq3e3o" target="_blank"> its lead safety researcher quit saying that "the world is in peril."</a> I kid you not, he quit to study poetry. This is kind of reminding me of that last scene in "Rogue One."</p><p><br /> </p><p>17) The<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/historic-negative-jobs-revisions-1-million-fewer-jobs-added-2025-only-15000-avg-jobs?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=7205" target="_blank"> Bureau of Labor Statistics that handles the jobs reports has revised downward by almost one million the total number of new jobs created last year. </a>This is painful, but necessary, as it is common knowledge that Rutabaga's filth-fleecers were jimmying the numbers for four years trying to support the Tin Man. Hoax News may have a field day with this, but they should be skeeeered, as it means that <i>all</i> numbers from here on out are rock solid, not some Hunter Biteme crack-dream.</p><p><br /> </p><p>17) The<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/business/us-annual-inflation-rate-slows-sharply-to-2-4-percent-in-january-5985250?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank"> inflation rate (as always) "beat expectations" and fell to 2.4%</a>. We already saw the jobs market coming back. The economy will hit a massive lift off by about August. DemoKKRats are so screwed, they have less of a chance of surviving than Savannah Guthrie's mom.</p><p><br /> </p><p>18) Real wages <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/2022333933313216917" target="_blank">which were down under Rutabaga have risen 1.25%, or a turnaround of nearly 190%.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>19) <a href="https://substack.com/redirect/41276d74-24a6-4cfe-8e5d-0a3e1a849a1b?j=eyJ1IjoiZHg0NWIifQ.6yw8C4j288QAcQWHX3b3_68bR-HzXc4uFCcCElF-zkQ" target="_blank">France is scaling back wind and solar</a>, presumably so it can afford to send five members of the Foreign Legion to protect Greenland while it's other three guys are staging for Ukraine.</p><p><br /> </p><p>20) <a href="https://blackmon.substack.com/p/puerto-ricos-electric-grid-still?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=712558&post_id=187740177&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Puerto Rico's electric grid hasn't improved at all</a> in nine years since Hurricane Maria.</p><p><br /> </p><p>21) The <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/feb/13/winter-olympic-village-runs-out-of-condoms-after-three-days-milano-cortina-2026" target="_blank">International Olympic Village ran out of condoms after three days</a>, giving a whole new meaning to ice dancing. As an aside, do you know why Southern Baptists never have sex standing up? Because people would think they are dancing.</p><p><br /> </p><p>22) Pretty big deal: the <a href="https://x.com/Protestia/status/2022148273453383788" target="_blank">Church of England voted to stop advancing homosexual/transoid "acceptance" in the Church.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>23) Taiwan and the U.S.<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/china/us-taiwan-reach-trade-deal-to-cut-tariffs-boost-purchases-of-us-goods-5985244?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank"> reached a deal to cut tariffs.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>24) Transpo Secretary Sean Duffy, who, unlike his predecessor Buttplugs, actually does something in his job, <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/special-security-reasons-faa-abruptly-halts-all-flight-operations-above-us-border-town-el?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=7205" target="_blank">praised the Department and the Department of War for shutting down the El Paso drone incursion quickly.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>25) Soooo delicious as the woke <a href="https://www.outkick.com/analysis/disney-snow-white-remake-box-office-loss-rachel-zegler-bomb" target="_blank">"Snow Black and the Seven Midgets who don't want to be called Dwarves" lost a whopping $170 million.</a> Now do you see why I keep harping on "Avengers: Doomsday?"

Stay tuned. Oh, and <i>Forbes </i>got this info by going through Brit records of production, because Disney won't post any honest numbers.</p><p><br /> </p><p>26) <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/nba/article-15558327/chris-paul-retirement-toronto-raptors.html" target="_blank">Chris Paul, a 12-time NBA All Star, has retired.</a> His glorious season with the Phoenix Suns took them to within a hair of the championship four years ago.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN MEDICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>27) There has been <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-15525381/pancreatic-cancer-early-symptoms-doctors-prevent-surge-young-people.html" target="_blank">an explosion in pancreatic cancer in young people.</a> Anyone bother to check vax status?</p><p><br /> </p><h3>AND FINALLY . . .</h3><p><br /> </p><p>28) I know it's <a href="https://babylonbee.com/news/democrats-counter-with-steal-act-to-ban-voter-id" target="_blank"><i>The Babylon Bee</i> but this is so on target: "DemoKKKrats Counter with STEAL Act" to ban voter ID.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p><br /> </p><p>Larry Schweikart (@WallsOther)</p><p><br /> </p><p>Rock drummer, Film maker,NYTimes <a href="https://www.wildworldofpolitics.com/blog/hashtags/1" target="_blank">#1</a> bestselling author</p><p><br /> </p><p>Link for Patriot’s History Vimeo</p><p><br /> </p><p><a href="https://vimeo.com/40949423" target="_blank">https://vimeo.com/40949423</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>Link to buy larry a coffee</p><p><br /> </p><p><a href="http://buymeacoffee.com/larrys" target="_blank">http://buymeacoffee.com/larrys</a></p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_cd79e3c285e8463e8d4dcc1b8dd86556~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_90,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_cd79e3c285e8463e8d4dcc1b8dd86556~mv2.png" alt="" />

      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>Caveat: You're not going to see discussions of Savannah Guthrie's missing mother because, well, I don't care. There are thousands of missing children out there, many thanks to the DemoKKKrats, and they deserve the attention.</p><p><br /> </p><p>1) A <a href="https://abcnews.com/US/doj-fails-secure-indictments-democratic-members-congress-military/story?id=130047628" target="_blank">Virginia grand jury refused to indict Sen. Moonman Kelly and others for a seditious video in which they urged service members to disobey orders.</a> One more reminder that there are blue sections of this country that do not care one whit about law, order, or the Constitution. D.C. locals are 92% Terror DemoKKKrat Party supporters. As Jeff Childers, a lawyer, notes, the good news is that the government cannot (still, at least in some places) be judge, jury, and executioner. The bad news for the Moonman cheerleaders is that once again the optics are terrible with a two-tiered justice system.

Federal actions included fraud charges in New York, arrests of fugitive suspects in Ohio, expanded Epstein-related subpoenas, and sentencing of former union officials, while the administration moved to roll back climate regulations affecting autos and greenhouse gases. Economic signals showed stock resilience, a 130,000 job gain largely among native-born workers, record retail sales, rising incomes, and a shrinking federal workforce.

Economic and tech news reflected turbulence as EV investments continued to collapse, AI hype triggered market volatility despite massive capital spending, the Dow crossed 50,000, legacy media leadership resigned, and major retailers and manufacturers faced losses or bankruptcy. Internationally, conservative gains accelerated across Asia and Latin America, Cuba’s economic collapse deepened, EV and wind energy failures mounted in Europe, Epstein-related fallout widened across global elites, and SpaceX pivoted toward building a lunar city. Cultural and medical stories ranged from declining corporate DEI support and education reforms tied to earnings, to breakthroughs in instant wound cauterization, falling U.S. drug prices via TrumpRx, and notable moments in entertainment, sports, and wildlife conservation.</itunes:summary>

      <title>TODAY&apos;S NEWS, February 6, 2026</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) While people were obsessing over Trump "drawing down" in MN---which will not last, and which I think is a distraction, which will again be picked up as soon as attention shifts---<a href="https://x.com/ReichlinMelnick/status/2019425697941578172?s=20" target="_blank">he has torched the whole Board of Immigration process that ends <i>all</i> appeals</a> after March 9 unless a majority of the Board agrees to hear the case. BRAVO.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Reason <a href="https://www.wildworldofpolitics.com/blog/hashtags/434" target="_blank">#434</a> why the DemoKKKrats are screwed, and why 2026 or, at the latest, 2028 is their last stand, <a href="https://www.city-journal.org/article/blue-states-demographic-nightmare?skip=1" target="_blank">as blue states are facing an out-migration nightmare. </a>Overall, DemoKKKrats lost almost another 500,000 in population last year (with CA losing 229,000). Of the states that have red trifectas, only three lost population and two of those, only 1,000. The other 19 gained 345,000. Of the DemoKKKrat states, only ME, DE, WA, and OR gained at all. Even the latest blue state, CO, lost population for the first time in years. Now throw in the fact that the DemoKKKrat states have the lowest fertility rates in the U.S. Gee, I wonder why, with all that free abortion? Then there are <a href="https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/elections/georgia-poised-reform-voting-system-prioritize-paper-ballots-hand" target="_blank">consistent, steady, ongoing voter reform efforts as in GA where they are returning to paper ballots.</a> Meanwhile, in Kollyfornia, the <a href="https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/governor/general/2026/california/open_primary" target="_blank">top two in polling for the state's governorship are both Rs</a>. Why is that important? Because Kollyfornia stupidly has a "jungle primary" that puts in the top two, regardless of party. I don't think this will hold up, but if it does, watch for Kollyfornia to change that jungle primary law in a hurry. Then there is this indicator: the GOP has outraised the DemoKKKrats by $100 million, or a factor of 6:1. Note, this does <i>not</i> include Trump's $100 fund.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) The GOP's <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/georgia-gop-rep-barry-loudermilk-retire-adding-wave-house-exits" target="_blank">Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) will retire</a>, bringing the number of GOP to 32 (I think) and Ds to 26. I still believe that by July they will be about even in retirements.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent <a href="https://x.com/RedLineReportt/status/2019175100386267570" target="_blank">announced IRS audits of major banks, financial firms, and intermediaries that facilitated the Skinny Minny fraud.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>5) New Azteca (LA) mayor <a href="https://nypost.com/2026/02/04/us-news/la-mayor-karen-bass-secretly-altered-palisades-fire-analysis-to-downplay-las-failures-report/" target="_blank">Karen ASS secretly altered a Palisade Fire report that made her and the city look bad.</a> I mean, how else could it make them look? Or we have this story<a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2026/02/05/maryland-man-charged-with-attempted-murder-of-trump-omb-russell-vought/" target="_blank"> about a "Maryland man" (not the illegal invader Garcia) who was arrested for the attempted murder of Office of Management and Budget director Russ Vought</a>. Maybe we need to rename liberalism as "The Religion of Peace" (TROP trademark)? <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/2nd-amendment/2026/02/05/satanist-named-pagan-arrested-over-plans-to-shoot-up-florida-church/" target="_blank">Apparently as another DemoKKKrat, a "Satanist" named "Pagan," was arrested for plans to shoot up a church.</a> All I can say is they better not try that at my church. I'm told the response time is under 9 seconds.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Speaking of Kollyfornia, the next President, <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/vance-lead-sweeping-anti-fraud-task-force-investigating-california?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=7135" target="_blank">J. D. Vance, will head a fraud task force looking into the Tarnished State.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>7) The administration<a href="https://www.axios.com/2026/02/05/trump-federal-employees-at-will" target="_blank"> approved a new rule making it easier to fire federal employees.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>8) This is going to get funny in a hurry, as now <a href="https://chrisbray.substack.com/p/im-placing-my-bet-on-the-minneapolis?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=484195&post_id=186996605&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">MN is policing neighborhood borders to keep out ICE</a>. Get it? They are establishing their own border patrol to keep out people who are enforcing border control. Can't wait til some drunk dopespoker runs one of their lines. What are they gonna do, blow a whistle?</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) Four Venezuelans<a href="https://www.breitbart.com/immigration/2026/02/05/four-venezuelan-migrants-charged-in-1-million-food-stamp-fraud-in-massachusetts/" target="_blank"> have been arrested for a $1 million food stamp fraud in MA.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>10) <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/4445430/rents-fall-again-trump-deportations-rise/" target="_blank">Rents fall again as deportations rise.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>11) President Trump has <a href="https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/all-things-trump/trump-plans-national-jubilee-prayer-event-may-part-america250" target="_blank">announced a National Jubilee of Prayer in May as part of the America 250 celebration</a>. <i><strong>NO OTHER PRESIDENT IN RECENT MEMORY WOULD HAVE DONE THIS.</strong></i> This is nothing less than, as Trump put it, an effort to "rededicate America as one nation under God."</p><p><br /> </p><h3>TRANSOID NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>12) <a href="https://jennifersey.substack.com/p/two-major-medical-associations-issue?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=904886&post_id=186980110&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Jennifer Sey</a> rips apart stupid arguments against the two major medical associations---DOCTORS, GET IT?---that decided to oppose transoid surgeries for minors. One inebriated armadillo-brain actually compared getting your breasts whacked off to a . . . <i>nose job</i>. This is another reason DemoKKKrats cannot be trusted with anything. <i>Even if</i> they weren't terroristic murdering mofos, they are STUPID.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ECONOMIC NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>13) EVs are now looking <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/ev-bloodbath-carmakers-suffer-face-melting-losses-buyers-flee-credits-end" target="_blank">like the costliest corporate blunder in American business history</a>.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) While people were obsessing over Trump "drawing down" in MN---which will not last, and which I think is a distraction, which will again be picked up as soon as attention shifts---<a href="https://x.com/ReichlinMelnick/status/2019425697941578172?s=20" target="_blank">he has torched the whole Board of Immigration process that ends <i>all</i> appeals</a> after March 9 unless a majority of the Board agrees to hear the case. BRAVO.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Reason <a href="https://www.wildworldofpolitics.com/blog/hashtags/434" target="_blank">#434</a> why the DemoKKKrats are screwed, and why 2026 or, at the latest, 2028 is their last stand, <a href="https://www.city-journal.org/article/blue-states-demographic-nightmare?skip=1" target="_blank">as blue states are facing an out-migration nightmare. </a>Overall, DemoKKKrats lost almost another 500,000 in population last year (with CA losing 229,000). Of the states that have red trifectas, only three lost population and two of those, only 1,000. The other 19 gained 345,000. Of the DemoKKKrat states, only ME, DE, WA, and OR gained at all. Even the latest blue state, CO, lost population for the first time in years. Now throw in the fact that the DemoKKKrat states have the lowest fertility rates in the U.S. Gee, I wonder why, with all that free abortion? Then there are <a href="https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/elections/georgia-poised-reform-voting-system-prioritize-paper-ballots-hand" target="_blank">consistent, steady, ongoing voter reform efforts as in GA where they are returning to paper ballots.</a> Meanwhile, in Kollyfornia, the <a href="https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/governor/general/2026/california/open_primary" target="_blank">top two in polling for the state's governorship are both Rs</a>. Why is that important? Because Kollyfornia stupidly has a "jungle primary" that puts in the top two, regardless of party. I don't think this will hold up, but if it does, watch for Kollyfornia to change that jungle primary law in a hurry. Then there is this indicator: the GOP has outraised the DemoKKKrats by $100 million, or a factor of 6:1. Note, this does <i>not</i> include Trump's $100 fund.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) The GOP's <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/georgia-gop-rep-barry-loudermilk-retire-adding-wave-house-exits" target="_blank">Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) will retire</a>, bringing the number of GOP to 32 (I think) and Ds to 26. I still believe that by July they will be about even in retirements.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent <a href="https://x.com/RedLineReportt/status/2019175100386267570" target="_blank">announced IRS audits of major banks, financial firms, and intermediaries that facilitated the Skinny Minny fraud.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>5) New Azteca (LA) mayor <a href="https://nypost.com/2026/02/04/us-news/la-mayor-karen-bass-secretly-altered-palisades-fire-analysis-to-downplay-las-failures-report/" target="_blank">Karen ASS secretly altered a Palisade Fire report that made her and the city look bad.</a> I mean, how else could it make them look? Or we have this story<a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2026/02/05/maryland-man-charged-with-attempted-murder-of-trump-omb-russell-vought/" target="_blank"> about a "Maryland man" (not the illegal invader Garcia) who was arrested for the attempted murder of Office of Management and Budget director Russ Vought</a>. Maybe we need to rename liberalism as "The Religion of Peace" (TROP trademark)? <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/2nd-amendment/2026/02/05/satanist-named-pagan-arrested-over-plans-to-shoot-up-florida-church/" target="_blank">Apparently as another DemoKKKrat, a "Satanist" named "Pagan," was arrested for plans to shoot up a church.</a> All I can say is they better not try that at my church. I'm told the response time is under 9 seconds.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Speaking of Kollyfornia, the next President, <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/vance-lead-sweeping-anti-fraud-task-force-investigating-california?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=7135" target="_blank">J. D. Vance, will head a fraud task force looking into the Tarnished State.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>7) The administration<a href="https://www.axios.com/2026/02/05/trump-federal-employees-at-will" target="_blank"> approved a new rule making it easier to fire federal employees.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>8) This is going to get funny in a hurry, as now <a href="https://chrisbray.substack.com/p/im-placing-my-bet-on-the-minneapolis?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=484195&post_id=186996605&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">MN is policing neighborhood borders to keep out ICE</a>. Get it? They are establishing their own border patrol to keep out people who are enforcing border control. Can't wait til some drunk dopespoker runs one of their lines. What are they gonna do, blow a whistle?</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) Four Venezuelans<a href="https://www.breitbart.com/immigration/2026/02/05/four-venezuelan-migrants-charged-in-1-million-food-stamp-fraud-in-massachusetts/" target="_blank"> have been arrested for a $1 million food stamp fraud in MA.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>10) <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/4445430/rents-fall-again-trump-deportations-rise/" target="_blank">Rents fall again as deportations rise.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>11) President Trump has <a href="https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/all-things-trump/trump-plans-national-jubilee-prayer-event-may-part-america250" target="_blank">announced a National Jubilee of Prayer in May as part of the America 250 celebration</a>. <i><strong>NO OTHER PRESIDENT IN RECENT MEMORY WOULD HAVE DONE THIS.</strong></i> This is nothing less than, as Trump put it, an effort to "rededicate America as one nation under God."</p><p><br /> </p><h3>TRANSOID NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>12) <a href="https://jennifersey.substack.com/p/two-major-medical-associations-issue?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=904886&post_id=186980110&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Jennifer Sey</a> rips apart stupid arguments against the two major medical associations---DOCTORS, GET IT?---that decided to oppose transoid surgeries for minors. One inebriated armadillo-brain actually compared getting your breasts whacked off to a . . . <i>nose job</i>. This is another reason DemoKKKrats cannot be trusted with anything. <i>Even if</i> they weren't terroristic murdering mofos, they are STUPID.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ECONOMIC NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>13) EVs are now looking <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/ev-bloodbath-carmakers-suffer-face-melting-losses-buyers-flee-credits-end" target="_blank">like the costliest corporate blunder in American business history</a>.

And this is aimed at getting rid of the phenomenally expensive "health insurance" and giving people access to the drugs without the monthly extra insurance charges. <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/jungle-rumbles-friday-february-6?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=187091855&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">See Jeff Childers on this, but the panicking Hoax News Obamacare-spewing media are trying to simultaneously argue that it won't lower prices, but that it will hurt Big Pharma's bottom line.</a> Which is it?</p><p><br /> </p><h3>AND FINALLY . . .</h3><p><br /> </p><p>27) This is a weird one. <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/sports/2026/02/05/genital-injections-spark-cheating-allegations-at-winter-olympics/" target="_blank">Olympic ski jumpers are injecting their penises with a drug that makes them, er, "Meester Beeg" because that gets them a bigger competition suit,</a> which, apparently, gives them more air time.

DemoKKKrats just finished celebrating a TX state senate seat flip when<a href="https://x.com/VoteHub/status/2018866710313590918" target="_blank"> this AL result comes out. The R won by an even bigger margin than did Trump in 2024</a>. Again, overall, somewhat meaningless. Meanwhile, our friends over at "The Liberal Patriot" <a href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/the-electoral-college-is-poised-to?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=239058&post_id=186638654&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">are starting to put up storm warnings about the Electoral College, </a>as well they should.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2026/02/04/clinton-democrats-generations-gop-investigation-00763131?utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=dlvr.it" target="_blank">Having demanded that Trump release the Epstein files</a>, now DemoKKKrats are panicking that he has, beginning with the Clintons, who, after failed maneuvering and posturing, finally relegated themselves to being interrogated by the House. <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2026/02/04/clinton-democrats-generations-gop-investigation-00763131?utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=dlvr.it" target="_blank">Looks like the DemoKKKrats have tossed the Corrupt Crime Family under the bus.</a> Remember, this comes one week after unnamed "DemoKKKrats" warned House members to stay the heck away from MN because, well, the story was <i>hurting them. </i><a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/dexter-sharper-pandemic-fraud-un-employment?utm_source=theblaze-breaking&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=AFternoon%20Trending&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%20TheBlaze%20Breaking%20News&tpcc=email-breaking" target="_blank">Nor does it help that another DemoKKKrat was charged with fraudulent use of funds in GA</a>.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) This is why the "special elections" game is so tricky. DemoKKKrats just finished celebrating a TX state senate seat flip when<a href="https://x.com/VoteHub/status/2018866710313590918" target="_blank"> this AL result comes out. The R won by an even bigger margin than did Trump in 2024</a>. Again, overall, somewhat meaningless. Meanwhile, our friends over at "The Liberal Patriot" <a href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/the-electoral-college-is-poised-to?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=239058&post_id=186638654&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">are starting to put up storm warnings about the Electoral College, </a>as well they should.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2026/02/04/clinton-democrats-generations-gop-investigation-00763131?utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=dlvr.it" target="_blank">Having demanded that Trump release the Epstein files</a>, now DemoKKKrats are panicking that he has, beginning with the Clintons, who, after failed maneuvering and posturing, finally relegated themselves to being interrogated by the House. <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2026/02/04/clinton-democrats-generations-gop-investigation-00763131?utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=dlvr.it" target="_blank">Looks like the DemoKKKrats have tossed the Corrupt Crime Family under the bus.</a> Remember, this comes one week after unnamed "DemoKKKrats" warned House members to stay the heck away from MN because, well, the story was <i>hurting them. </i><a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/dexter-sharper-pandemic-fraud-un-employment?utm_source=theblaze-breaking&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=AFternoon%20Trending&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%20TheBlaze%20Breaking%20News&tpcc=email-breaking" target="_blank">Nor does it help that another DemoKKKrat was charged with fraudulent use of funds in GA</a>. No, the "big names" aren't here, but for Pete's sake, is anyone watching the sheer number of underlings being rolled up?</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) I did not expect <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/supreme-court-allows-california-to-use-new-congressional-map-that-favors-democrats-5980825?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2026-02-04-5&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2026-02-04-5&utm_medium=email&est=2TwdWesQbXvKH%2F3Wl93UiSYJMElwmEWaBcKlDAjSnIm3o%2BvlVrdD6UbLBGbBfVyfOb%2Bplfw%3D" target="_blank">the Supes to overturn the Kollyfornia redistricted map</a>, any more than they will overturn any other. This does not change my equation one iota, as I always calculated 5 new DemoKKKrat seats in Kollyfornia. Rs still should hold the house by 2-5.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) The<a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/property-manager-arrested-connection-las-vegas-bio-lab/story?id=129831167" target="_blank"> FBI shut down another biolab operation, this one in Las Vegas.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Ah, the left is so cheery and full of life. The Senior Skank,<a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/jill-bidens-husband-charged-murdering-wife/story?id=129817143" target="_blank"> Jill Biden, learned that her ex-husband has been charged with murdering her successor.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>6) The <a href="https://justthenews.com/accountability/watchdogs/inspector-general-confirms-whistleblower-complaint-against-tulsi-gabbard" target="_blank">Inspector General said that a whistleblower complaint against Tulsi Gabbard lacked credibility.</a> She says <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/us/tulsi-gabbard-says-trump-requested-her-presence-fbi-raid-fulton-county-2026-02-03/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">she was on the ground in Fulton Co. because Trump requested it.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>7) <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/align/massachusetts-on-track-to-set-mileage-limits-for-drivers?utm_source=theblaze-align&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Align%20Content&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%20Align&tpcc=email-align&sailthru_id=68950ec1b1b9914c7008fee5" target="_blank">Moronic Massachusetts is set to establish driving mileage limits.</a> Are you toadstools awake yet?

Oh, and <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/2018703572016287879?s=20" target="_blank">a new poll shows that 76% of black Americans want voter ID.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>11) Republicans are <a href="https://x.com/Ben_Larrabee/status/2018434770091577763" target="_blank">just 42,877 away from flipping PA red among active voters</a>. This margin was DemoKKKrat +1.1 million in 2016.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>12) Shipwreckedcrew says <a href="https://shipwreckedcrew.substack.com/p/ice-off-jonathan-ross-was-100-justified?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=284783&post_id=184769522&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Jonathan Ross was 100% justified in shooting Renee Good.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN TRANSOID NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>13) The <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2026/02/03/first-major-medical-group-opposes-sex-mutilating-surgeries-minors/" target="_blank">first major medical group says nay nay on child mutilation.</a> Drip, drip, drip.

Maybe some of them are <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/washington-post-closes-sports-department-part-sweeping-layoffs" target="_blank">here</a>, as the <i>Washington Compost</i> tells employees to stay home and may have extensive layoffs.

Will this be Skynet after all? It would be a <i>trillion dollar company</i>. Today, however, Wal-Mart hit $1 trillion as the first ever trillion dollar business.</p><p><br /> </p><p>20) Harvard thought it could stall, waiting out Trump. The <i>New York Slimes</i> ran a story saying Trump backed down. Oops. <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2026/02/03/trump-escalates-harvard-feud-with-1-billion-demand-00761683?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Trump increased the demand from Harvard from $200m to $1 billion.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>21) David Blackmon, the Rush Limbaugh of Energy, <a href="https://blackmon.substack.com/p/cleanview-study-natural-gas-the-big?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=712558&post_id=186870047&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">says that natural gas is the big winner in the AI power race.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>22) Looks like the Clintons aren't the only elites caught up in the Epstein muck. <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/deb9c336-fe01-47ce-a1a1-bdda049b94ad?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Norway's top dogs are identified as well.</a> This includes PMs, royalty, members of the useless Nobel committee.

      <itunes:summary>Special elections delivered mixed but largely symbolic signals, with a strong Republican win in Alabama offsetting a brief Democratic flip in Texas, while growing attention focused on Electoral College math and tightening voter registration margins in states like Pennsylvania. Pressure intensified around the Epstein file releases as Democrats reversed course, internal corruption cases surfaced, biolab operations were shut down, high-profile criminal sentences were handed down, and voter integrity efforts gained momentum amid broad public support for voter ID.

I thought this was a winning issue for DemoKKKrats, except the <a href="https://www.axios.com/2026/01/29/minnesota-minneapolis-democrats-travel-leadership?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">evil <i>Axios</i> said that DemoKKKrat leaders are telling House members not to go to MN.</a> Gee, why? Photo ops are going to have the wrong outcome?</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Meanwhile just<a href="https://x.com/kevinnbass/status/2015716213603573854?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2015716213603573854%7Ctwgr%5Ec6fd56baf651b6e3a89d68971f696af3eb14323f%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Ftownhall.com%2Ftipsheet%2Fmattvespa%2F2026%2F01%2F28%2Ftwo-thirds-of-all-violent-confrontations-against-ice-agents-come-from-just-nine-counties-n2670208" target="_blank"> nine leftoid counties account for two-thirds of all violent confrontations with ICE</a>. Wanna guess which ones?</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Yes, this is real, and yes, it is serious enough for DHS Secretary Kristi Noem to be present: the FBI raided the Fulton Co. Election offices and took over 700 boxes of evidence. <a href="https://www.captaink.us/p/a-surreal-dawn-the-fbi-raid-in-fulton?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=798984&post_id=186228219&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Seth Keshel discusses here</a>, but for those who say, "Oh, they've destroyed those records already,' hang on a second: Col.

As Jeff Childers notes, "through encouragement alone" Trump is engaging in a massive wealth transfer from American corporations to babies and families. Further, this slams the door on "affordability" whines by DemoKKKrats.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Oops. <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/2017024710673125431" target="_blank">DemoKKKrats in VA just learned that their electricity bills will go up by 200% </a>thanks to the policies of the new DemoKKKrat lint-accumulator, Spanxberger.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) <a href="https://www.chalkbeat.org/2026/01/28/gop-lawmakers-celebrate-as-more-states-opt-into-school-choice-tax-credit/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Pressure mounts on DemoKKKrat states to enact school choice credits</a>.

Federal authorities escalated election scrutiny with a major FBI raid on Fulton County offices, seizure of hundreds of evidence boxes, and senior national security officials present, signaling a broad investigation. Democrats privately discouraged members from appearing in Minnesota amid worsening optics, while national political math shifted with census projections favoring Republican electoral gains and continued population and corporate outflows from California. The administration rolled out new child investment accounts with rapid uptake, pushed school choice credits, moved to codify executive orders, and advanced voter integrity legislation, while state-level policies triggered sharp utility cost increases and policing disputes. Courts delivered mixed rulings on deportation protections, economic indicators showed falling unemployment claims alongside corporate layoffs and office return mandates, metals prices dipped after rate decisions, and regulators paused SBA loans over fraud and DEI concerns. Internationally, energy and trade realignments spread across Venezuela, Japan, Europe, and China, while cultural, entertainment, and medical headlines ranged from demographic shifts in churches to sports controversies, film slates, weight-loss drug lawsuits, expanded autism research, and reports of healthier polar bear populations.</itunes:summary>

      <title>TODAY&apos;S NEWS, January 27-28, 2026</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Everyone knew that was what this was about, or at least about in a significant way: <a href="https://justthenews.com/nation/states/center-square/trump-minnesota-fraud-riots-linked" target="_blank">Trump has linked the illegal criminal invader deportations in MN to the larger fraud investigations</a>. Step three will be to link those <i>financial</i> frauds to voter fraud and purge MN of a million fraudsters. Accordingly, <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/crime/2026/01/26/kash-patel-fbi-investigating-minneapolis-democrats-activist-networks/" target="_blank">FBI Director Kash Patel said that the FBI is investigating MN DemoKKKrats' activist networks. </a>They are accessories to a guy who wanted to kill ICE agents after all. These <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/left-wing-activists-run-quasi-police-operation-signal-target-ice-agents-minneapolis?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=7037" target="_blank">same fungalmaggots are running shadow operations to warn of the approach of ICE.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) I told you this was how it would play out. <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/anti-ice-mob-chokes-on-gas-after-attacking-police-outside-hotel-supposedly-housing-border-patrol-chief?utm_source=theblaze-breaking&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Mornign%20Trending&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%20TheBlaze%20Breaking%20News&tpcc=email-breaking" target="_blank">The attempts by Frey-bread and the Prancing Gheyboy, Tampon Timmy, to "wall off" MN police and National Guard by having them wear different colored vests than the feds failed</a> when they had to use force on the rioter venereal-rabbits. In a clash outside a hotel where ICE and Border Patrol were were staying, the locals had to use tear gas and actually make arrests. Why was this predictable? Because, metaphorically speaking, once the shooting starts there is no such thing as a neutral, and the evil commie anti-ICE crowd is determined to have violence. Oh, and speaking of the Border Patrol, all the panicans and doomspoogers <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/border-patrol-commander-greg-bovino-returning-position-el/story?id=129582658" target="_blank">were absolutely sure that returning Greg Bovino, head of Border Patrol (NOT ICE) to his station in El Centro, Kollyfornia, was a surrender. </a>Jeez, the moronity! He was replaced by Tom Homan. Get it? A colonel, or at best, brigadier general (Bovino) was replaced by a three star general, Homan.

Trump enacts a policy. A local magistrate or flatulence-producing robed spooge issues an order halting said policy. An appeals court of the Supes overturn said gas-emitter's ruling. This has been going on for almost 18 months. Basically all it is is a built in very temporary delay switch built into all of Trump's programs. Each will take a couple of months longer to take effect, but WILL TAKE EFFECT. <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2026/01/26/appeals-court-halts-order-limiting-ice-tactics/" target="_blank">Hence, an appeals court overruled a judge's order limiting ICE tactics.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>12) The Feds have <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/feds-charge-87-individuals-massive-atm-jackpotting-operation-linked-tren-de-aragua-gang" target="_blank">charged 87 with a massive "jackpotting" ATM scandal linked to the Tren de Arugula spoogenicks.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>13) Twenty years later, the demonic-looking <a href="https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/energy/al-gores-inconvenient-truth-turns-20-and-critics-say-only-disaster-its?utm_source=daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter" target="_blank">Algore sees his utterly false predictions about "global warming" in his book, <i>Earth in the Balance</i> (or as the great Rush Limbaugh called it, <i>Earth in the Lurch</i> exposed.</a> Not a single one of his goofball claims has materialized.

A look at the charts shows both gold and silver took off after Trump's election---but inflation has <i>fallen</i>, so by conventional economic thinking, gold and silver should too. Unless Jeff is right. So consider this: IF Trump wanted to "mark to market" all of the nation's gold, he might want the price to rise as high as possible when he did so, right? At current prices---instead of $42 an ounce, which is what gold is currently valued---a "mark to market" would put US gold reserves alone at a $1.3 TRILLION value.</p><p><br /> </p><p>21) Here comes the next iteration of AI,<a href="https://www.theverge.com/report/869004/moltbot-clawdbot-local-ai-agent?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> "Moltbot," </a>which <i>remembers</i> between chats.

We have already heard Marvel is cutting a bunch of streamers. And word is that the opening battle scene will be titanic. Now, I don't think Marvel will want for action. But to me the key to the success of this film is simple. "Endgame" had something like 14 other movies setting up story lines. While admittedly "Doomsday" starts with all of those wrapped---hence everyone knows the back story, it is going to take phenomenal writing, a great story, and what I'm concerned about most of all, good, but tasty, comedic quips. For example, we no longer will have the smart-ass Stark, or the goody-two-shoes Cap, and Quill and the Guardians won't be there. The Russo Brothers are going to have to have some Holy Spirit if they infuse this with suitable humor. But if they do . . . well, believe me, Marvel will be back.</p>

Trump enacts a policy. A local magistrate or flatulence-producing robed spooge issues an order halting said policy. An appeals court of the Supes overturn said gas-emitter's ruling. This has been going on for almost 18 months. Basically all it is is a built in very temporary delay switch built into all of Trump's programs. Each will take a couple of months longer to take effect, but WILL TAKE EFFECT. <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2026/01/26/appeals-court-halts-order-limiting-ice-tactics/" target="_blank">Hence, an appeals court overruled a judge's order limiting ICE tactics.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>12) The Feds have <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/feds-charge-87-individuals-massive-atm-jackpotting-operation-linked-tren-de-aragua-gang" target="_blank">charged 87 with a massive "jackpotting" ATM scandal linked to the Tren de Arugula spoogenicks.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>13) Twenty years later, the demonic-looking <a href="https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/energy/al-gores-inconvenient-truth-turns-20-and-critics-say-only-disaster-its?utm_source=daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter" target="_blank">Algore sees his utterly false predictions about "global warming" in his book, <i>Earth in the Balance</i> (or as the great Rush Limbaugh called it, <i>Earth in the Lurch</i> exposed.</a> Not a single one of his goofball claims has materialized.

He suggests that Trump's threat to audit Fort Knox was a move to remove that suppression. A look at the charts shows both gold and silver took off after Trump's election---but inflation has <i>fallen</i>, so by conventional economic thinking, gold and silver should too. Unless Jeff is right. So consider this: IF Trump wanted to "mark to market" all of the nation's gold, he might want the price to rise as high as possible when he did so, right? At current prices---instead of $42 an ounce, which is what gold is currently valued---a "mark to market" would put US gold reserves alone at a $1.3 TRILLION value.</p><p><br /> </p><p>21) Here comes the next iteration of AI,<a href="https://www.theverge.com/report/869004/moltbot-clawdbot-local-ai-agent?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> "Moltbot," </a>which <i>remembers</i> between chats.

We have already heard Marvel is cutting a bunch of streamers. And word is that the opening battle scene will be titanic. Now, I don't think Marvel will want for action. But to me the key to the success of this film is simple. "Endgame" had something like 14 other movies setting up story lines. While admittedly "Doomsday" starts with all of those wrapped---hence everyone knows the back story, it is going to take phenomenal writing, a great story, and what I'm concerned about most of all, good, but tasty, comedic quips. For example, we no longer will have the smart-ass Stark, or the goody-two-shoes Cap, and Quill and the Guardians won't be there. The Russo Brothers are going to have to have some Holy Spirit if they infuse this with suitable humor. But if they do . . . well, believe me, Marvel will be back.</p>

      <title>TODAY&apos;S NEWS, January 24-26, 2026</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Skinny Minny is ground zero for domestic terrorism and insurrection. Now <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/appeals-court-don-lemon-protest-minnesota-probable-cause/" target="_blank">an appellate court won't overturn the magistrate and issue an arrest warrant for Blind Lemon Don. </a>This is extremely dangerous, and is soon going to leave President Trump no choice but to declare the Insurrection Act & use troops. An armed man was shot by federal agents after he resisted being disarmed. Apparently he <a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/01/parents-agitator-shot-federal-agents-minneapolis-had-urged/" target="_blank">did not listen to his parents who told him not to do anything stupid</a>. Dey kai't hep it. It's who dey is. The Minny Po Po Chief <a href="https://x.com/CollinRugg/status/2015470130260775074" target="_blank">issued a statement basically saying they saw the video and it was a justified shooting</a>.. <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/border-patrol-agent-shoots-armed-suspect-minneapolis?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=7013" target="_blank">Trump lambasted the mayor and the governor: "Why weren't [the local police] allowed to protect ICE officers?"</a> Then he---here comes the warmup---said they were guilty of "inciting insurrection." This must be crushed the way U.S. Grant crushed the KKK in the post-bellum South. Ruthlessly. Otherwise, you're going to get more of this: <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/maga-maggots-guns-armor-palestinian-flag-found-at-ohio-home-of-man-accused-of-threatening-to-murder-ice-agents?utm_source=theblaze-breaking&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Weekend%20Active%20User%20Trending%20%202026-01-24&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%207%20Day%20Engagement&tpcc=email&sailthru_id=68950ec1b1b9914c7008fee5" target="_blank">an "OH man" was arrested for making murderous ICE threats</a>, and they found body armor, guns, and, of course, a Pale flag in his dump. Meanwhile, the Prancing Gheyboy <a href="https://www.kare11.com/article/news/local/ice-in-minnesota/hennepin-co-sheriff-requests-national-guard-support/89-954292de-f927-4fd6-a887-e23020f4ee1a" target="_blank">Tampon Timmy has called up the MN national guard to "protect" federal buildings</a> and blames it on the influx of ICE agents rather than on the real villain, the evil Somali scooterpooters who required ICE in the first place. Waltz will have them wear yellow vests to distinguish them---but not sure that will make a difference with violence occurs. As we learned with "peacekeeping" operations abroad, when violence starts, the worst place to be is in between the combatants. Walt's actions may be an attempt to forestall the Insurrection Act and speaking of which, <a href="https://www.captaink.us/p/yes-its-time-for-the-insurrection?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=798984&post_id=185836723&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Seth Keshel argues it's time to pull the pin and use the IA</a>. I have no problem with the IA, but realize that 1) it simply adds more troops---which Trump can do other ways---but does not address the widespread "resistance/fascism" network of MN morons (see his examples <a href="https://x.com/camhigby/status/2015093523733733474?s=20" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="https://x.com/dailymindvirus/status/2015602618979025091?s=20" target="_blank">here</a>); 2) it in no way circumvents the judges, which is our biggest obstacle.. It also appears that the Molochian Minnies may so jump the shark that even many "nice" Minnesotans will have enough, such as these <a href="https://www.wnd.com/2026/01/horrifying-new-details-anti-ice-agitators-blocked-stairs/" target="_blank">little Baal-lovers, who blocked stairs at a MN church so parents couldn't get their kids.</a> It's also fitting that the chlamydia-dripping AG in MN, Keith ("Mr. Muslim") Ellison <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2026/01/25/minnesota-ag-ellison-second-amendment-protests-pretti-shooting/" target="_blank">previously fought AGAINST allowing people to be armed in protests.</a>UPDATE: Trump and Waltz had a phone call, and typical Trump, he said it went well and framed it as "they have some differences" but that Tampon Timmy is going to support ICE. Now, whether that's true or not, it means Trump now has Tampon Timmy "on record" so if he doesn't support ICE, Trump will claim he's a liar.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) It's a "Snowpacalypse" in parts of the country, the TX grid, which underwent several improvements over the last five years under Gov. Abbott, <a href="https://blackmon.substack.com/p/texas-power-grid-updates-1252026?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=712558&post_id=185678715&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">is holding up.</a> As of Sunday night, <a href="https://blackmon.substack.com/p/texas-grid-update-sunday-evening?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=712558&post_id=185787897&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">gas and oil held up, while renewables failed in TX</a>. The vast majority of TX's energy is coming from gas and oil. By the way, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/airlines-cancel-over-9800-flights-as-catastrophic-winter-storm-moves-in-5975857?autoemail=larry.schweikart%40gmail.com&utm_source=deployer&utm_medium=EmailMk&utm_content=&utm_campaign=new&utm_term=" target="_blank">over 12,000 flights have been canceled.</a> {UPDATE: the new number is 23,000]</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Here is the <a href="https://chrisbray.substack.com/p/on-the-construction-of-paper-empires?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=484195&post_id=185682650&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">evil spinich-snorter who bilked Kollyfornians out of millions</a> for "homeless shelters" that magically turned into $1,250 loafers and other luxury goods.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) A Boca Raton nurse (get it?

Now, there is free speech, but you do not have any First Amendment right to damage your employer's business with your asswipery.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Both libertarian-leaning Robert Barnes and my own Zen Master have said that Trump would lose the birthright citizenship case because the best arguments against it are buried deep in English law.<a href="https://revolver.news/2026/01/team-trump-drops-unexpected-bombshell-in-birthright-citizenship-brief-at-supreme-court/" target="_blank"> Well, it appears that's specifically what Bondi/Solicitor General are going to argue---history.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Skinny Minny is ground zero for domestic terrorism and insurrection. Now <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/appeals-court-don-lemon-protest-minnesota-probable-cause/" target="_blank">an appellate court won't overturn the magistrate and issue an arrest warrant for Blind Lemon Don. </a>This is extremely dangerous, and is soon going to leave President Trump no choice but to declare the Insurrection Act & use troops. An armed man was shot by federal agents after he resisted being disarmed. Apparently he <a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/01/parents-agitator-shot-federal-agents-minneapolis-had-urged/" target="_blank">did not listen to his parents who told him not to do anything stupid</a>. Dey kai't hep it. It's who dey is. The Minny Po Po Chief <a href="https://x.com/CollinRugg/status/2015470130260775074" target="_blank">issued a statement basically saying they saw the video and it was a justified shooting</a>.. <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/border-patrol-agent-shoots-armed-suspect-minneapolis?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=7013" target="_blank">Trump lambasted the mayor and the governor: "Why weren't [the local police] allowed to protect ICE officers?"</a> Then he---here comes the warmup---said they were guilty of "inciting insurrection." This must be crushed the way U.S. Grant crushed the KKK in the post-bellum South. Ruthlessly. Otherwise, you're going to get more of this: <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/maga-maggots-guns-armor-palestinian-flag-found-at-ohio-home-of-man-accused-of-threatening-to-murder-ice-agents?utm_source=theblaze-breaking&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Weekend%20Active%20User%20Trending%20%202026-01-24&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%207%20Day%20Engagement&tpcc=email&sailthru_id=68950ec1b1b9914c7008fee5" target="_blank">an "OH man" was arrested for making murderous ICE threats</a>, and they found body armor, guns, and, of course, a Pale flag in his dump. Meanwhile, the Prancing Gheyboy <a href="https://www.kare11.com/article/news/local/ice-in-minnesota/hennepin-co-sheriff-requests-national-guard-support/89-954292de-f927-4fd6-a887-e23020f4ee1a" target="_blank">Tampon Timmy has called up the MN national guard to "protect" federal buildings</a> and blames it on the influx of ICE agents rather than on the real villain, the evil Somali scooterpooters who required ICE in the first place. Waltz will have them wear yellow vests to distinguish them---but not sure that will make a difference with violence occurs. As we learned with "peacekeeping" operations abroad, when violence starts, the worst place to be is in between the combatants. Walt's actions may be an attempt to forestall the Insurrection Act and speaking of which, <a href="https://www.captaink.us/p/yes-its-time-for-the-insurrection?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=798984&post_id=185836723&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Seth Keshel argues it's time to pull the pin and use the IA</a>. I have no problem with the IA, but realize that 1) it simply adds more troops---which Trump can do other ways---but does not address the widespread "resistance/fascism" network of MN morons (see his examples <a href="https://x.com/camhigby/status/2015093523733733474?s=20" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="https://x.com/dailymindvirus/status/2015602618979025091?s=20" target="_blank">here</a>); 2) it in no way circumvents the judges, which is our biggest obstacle.. It also appears that the Molochian Minnies may so jump the shark that even many "nice" Minnesotans will have enough, such as these <a href="https://www.wnd.com/2026/01/horrifying-new-details-anti-ice-agitators-blocked-stairs/" target="_blank">little Baal-lovers, who blocked stairs at a MN church so parents couldn't get their kids.</a> It's also fitting that the chlamydia-dripping AG in MN, Keith ("Mr. Muslim") Ellison <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2026/01/25/minnesota-ag-ellison-second-amendment-protests-pretti-shooting/" target="_blank">previously fought AGAINST allowing people to be armed in protests.</a>UPDATE: Trump and Waltz had a phone call, and typical Trump, he said it went well and framed it as "they have some differences" but that Tampon Timmy is going to support ICE. Now, whether that's true or not, it means Trump now has Tampon Timmy "on record" so if he doesn't support ICE, Trump will claim he's a liar.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) It's a "Snowpacalypse" in parts of the country, the TX grid, which underwent several improvements over the last five years under Gov. Abbott, <a href="https://blackmon.substack.com/p/texas-power-grid-updates-1252026?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=712558&post_id=185678715&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">is holding up.</a> As of Sunday night, <a href="https://blackmon.substack.com/p/texas-grid-update-sunday-evening?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=712558&post_id=185787897&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">gas and oil held up, while renewables failed in TX</a>. The vast majority of TX's energy is coming from gas and oil. By the way, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/airlines-cancel-over-9800-flights-as-catastrophic-winter-storm-moves-in-5975857?autoemail=larry.schweikart%40gmail.com&utm_source=deployer&utm_medium=EmailMk&utm_content=&utm_campaign=new&utm_term=" target="_blank">over 12,000 flights have been canceled.</a> {UPDATE: the new number is 23,000]</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Here is the <a href="https://chrisbray.substack.com/p/on-the-construction-of-paper-empires?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=484195&post_id=185682650&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">evil spinich-snorter who bilked Kollyfornians out of millions</a> for "homeless shelters" that magically turned into $1,250 loafers and other luxury goods.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) A Boca Raton nurse (get it?

Now, there is free speech, but you do not have any First Amendment right to damage your employer's business with your asswipery.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Both libertarian-leaning Robert Barnes and my own Zen Master have said that Trump would lose the birthright citizenship case because the best arguments against it are buried deep in English law.<a href="https://revolver.news/2026/01/team-trump-drops-unexpected-bombshell-in-birthright-citizenship-brief-at-supreme-court/" target="_blank"> Well, it appears that's specifically what Bondi/Solicitor General are going to argue---history.

It's astounding. There are people on the verge of losing their homes in Kollyfornia due to state policies and these little evil fascists continue to send money to turtledumpers. Likewise, <a href="https://nypost.com/2026/01/26/us-news/san-francisco-mayor-lurie-says-5m-alcohol-program-is-done/" target="_blank">in Groomer City (SF), the brilliant spoogoids in government handed out $5 million to give booze to homeless alcoholics. </a>And more from Kollapsing Kollyfornia, as the <a href="https://nypost.com/2026/01/25/us-news/wife-of-accused-la-homeless-charity-fraudster-makes-mad-dash-as-neighbors-dish-on-couples-luxe-lifestyle/" target="_blank">wife of a fraudster who extracted $23 million from the public for a homeless fraud was spotted outside her $7 million house.</a> I'm sure the fraud funds had nothing to do with that.</p><p><br /> </p><p>22) After <a href="https://x.com/SBA_Kelly/status/2014362093084889336?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2014362093084889336%7Ctwgr%5E6733608fd9b1e71a5a1f75a68f18068b5aa9191b%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theblaze.com%2Fshows%2Frufo-lomez%2Fchristopher-rufo-drops-bombshell-report-on-26b-no-white-men-program-trump-sba-issues-quick-response" target="_blank">Christopher Rufo blew the whistle on Small Business loans that excluded white people,</a> SBA administrator Kelly Loeffler admitted they dropped the ball and fixed it immediately.</p><p><br /> </p><p>23) People keep asking how the Amazing Zohran is going to pay for all his freebies.

Severe winter storms disrupted travel nationwide as Texas energy systems held up better than renewables, and several high-profile fraud and misconduct cases surfaced involving public funds, nonprofit abuse, and professional discipline. The administration advanced legal and policy moves on birthright citizenship, immigration verification tied to housing funds, citizenship requirements for vehicle registration, and border enforcement that drew some bipartisan support. Economic and governance developments included corrections to discriminatory loan criteria, cuts to police overtime, infrastructure plans for Dulles Airport, corporate ownership shifts, and continued resignations among Democratic incumbents. Internationally, Britain reversed course on a strategic territory, China showed signs of internal strain and strategic retreat, NATO’s relevance was questioned, Europe doubled down on green regulations despite industrial strain, and major human trafficking arrests were reported.

      <title>Today&apos;s News, January 22-23, 2026</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Good to see, as I have been harping on the dramatic collapse of Congress as a functioning institution. Now, <a href="https://x.com/derrickvanorden/status/2014469512628785659" target="_blank">House Rs passed not one, not two, but TWELVE appropriations bills.</a> It was the first time in 29 years the House did so. This is an absolutely necessary start to regaining Congressional power, but it's only a first step.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Nabbing a Venezuelan murder-monster will do that: <a href="https://x.com/DerrickEvans4WV/status/2014696893637656599" target="_blank">Trump's popularity among Hispanics surged 28% and 24% in two new polls.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>3) There have been<a href="https://x.com/MacFarlaneNews/status/2014438611651821594" target="_blank"> multiple firings of FBI agents who worked the Patriot Day (J6) cases, along with others.</a> There appears to be a much needed quiet purge going on inside the FBI.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Murders <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/murders-plummeted-more-20-u-100021373.html" target="_blank">plummeted mor than 20% in most U.S. cities</a>.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Panican Doomspooger Whine: "They don't arrest anyone." Reality: <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/federal-agents-arrest-suspect-in-anti-ice-church-protest-in-st-paul-minnesota-5974766?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2026-01-23&src_cmp=mb-2026-01-23&utm_medium=email&est=mZ%2BJ3WtDIvQSf4RXa%2F1eN7rTZQY7rUukr0pUdl1z047VpIfkgn%2FUsbpSEjZRg4nSYsk1%2Bvw%3D" target="_blank">Several were arrested in the anti-ICE church terror event.</a> I particularly love this one: <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/anti-ice-minnesota-agitator-arrested-days-after-daring-bondi-do-so" target="_blank">the toodlespooter that begged AG Pam Bondi to arrest him? She took him up on it </a>But, because Blind Lemon Don is a black homosexual, he was protected from arrest by a magistrate who, gee, had<a href="https://x.com/5NYCCOM/status/2014467444295832036?s=20&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> earlier released a terrorist who put a $45,000 bounty on Pam Bondi. </a>This so-called magistrate himself needs to be in gen pop with a very large member of the Aryan Brotherhood introducing him to the fine points of the penal system. Meanwhile, Blind Lemon Don, who should be excited by any penal system, has gone dark, purged his social media account and hired a suit. Let's hope it's not Harvey Specter, or Bondi doesn't have a chance. Oh, and Cities Church, which was invaded by these leprous ballsnagglers, is filing civil suits against them. Good. In the Name of Jesus I sue thee!</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) There are fewer people stupider or more dangerous than the puspimple of an <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2026/01/20/politics/trump-gaza-board-of-peace-united-nations" target="_blank">AZ AG, Kris Mayes, who urged people to "stand their ground" </a>against ICE. That's the way people end up not standing their ground but being buried beneath it.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Speaking of AZ, check out the powerful shifts in voter registration here. Every single county moved to the right even more AFTER the 2024 election, including blue counties.</p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_5541a294e39e46919380fc030a777047~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_830,h_1280,al_c,q_85,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_5541a294e39e46919380fc030a777047~mv2.jpg" alt="" /><p><br /> </p><p><br /> </p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Lee Zeldin, <a href="https://x.com/epaleezeldin/status/2014411842463113562" target="_blank">head of the EPA, ended all testing on mammals by 2035. Save the doggies.</a></p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_86a1e4da56274aa984a29babcef2f1d6~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1480,h_1456,al_c,q_90,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_86a1e4da56274aa984a29babcef2f1d6~mv2.jpg" alt="" /><p><br /> </p><p>9) The <a href="https://x.com/ElectionWiz/status/2014460241342071120" target="_blank">House passed a DHS funding bill that includes new ICE and Border Patrol funding. </a>Of all Rs, only the evil and moronic Masshole voted against it. What a poltroon.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) A New York court ruled that<a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/new-yorks-congressional-map-redrawn-state-judge-rules/story?id=129436849" target="_blank"> the state must redraw its congressional map due to District 11, which is held by an R.</a> This will be appealed, and no telling if it will be hashed out by November, but it could cost the GOP a seat in a narrow election.</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) The good news keeps coming, as<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/22/us/politics/united-states-withdraws-world-health-organization.html" target="_blank"> the U.S. exited the World Health Org. You know, the WHO.</a> Remember just three years ago when I predicted the WHO would collapse?</p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_003cce76b5f248fcbb92814a2f668364~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1300,h_1370,al_c,q_85,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_003cce76b5f248fcbb92814a2f668364~mv2.jpg" alt="" /><p><br /> </p><p>12) The <i>New York Slimes</i> needs a fact checker, cuz the <a href="https://freebeacon.com/media/new-york-times-fact-checker-needs-a-fact-check/" target="_blank">doltish spudderjumper they have is flat WRONG on all facts.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>13) Now the <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/federal-officials-say-anti-ice-agitators-going-after-dogs-following-minneapolis-kennel-incident" target="_blank">MN walking hernias attacking ICE agents are going after the dogs</a>. I say, "loose the dogs of war."</p><p><br /> </p><p>14) When you read between the lines of leftist rags like <i>Politico</i>, which says Trump <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2026/01/20/donald-trump-legacy-history-00736032" target="_blank">will have a third term even if he doesn't run</a> because of the permanence of his policies, they are tacitly admitting that J.D. Vance will be the next president.</p><p><br /> </p><p>15) And here is another couple of pieces, where, if you read between the lines you can see that DemoKKKrats are panicked. "Liberal Patriot" blared, "<a href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/warning-lights-for-team-blue?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=239058&post_id=185425783&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Warning Lights" for DemoKKKrats."</a> And an earlier piece from "Liberal Patriot," it warned that DemoKKKrats <a href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/democrats-and-the-siren-call-of-culture?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=239058&post_id=185375134&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">are engaged in "cultural denialism."</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>16) Winter storm coming <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15492527/top-12-cities-hit-winter-storm.html" target="_blank">and it's gonna be a cold one.</a> Many places right now are colder than Hillary's, er . . . heart.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>17) Again, this is why I say that MN is ground zero for breaking ALL fraud, including voter fraud. You see all <a href="https://justthenews.com/nation/states/minnesota-anti-ice-shutdown-backed-dsa-communists-unions-activists-ccp-tied-singham?utm_source=daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter" target="_blank">the hideous groups are fomenting agitation there, commies, Black Looters Matter, you name em. The "Axis of Anarchy."</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>18) DHS is more than <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/dhs-increasing-deportation-stipend-1000-2600/story?id=129420562" target="_blank">doubling the self-deportation bonus.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>19) Me-hee-co sent <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/latin-america/2026/01/21/mexico-sends-37-cartel-members-to-u-s-amid-pressure-from-trump-administration/" target="_blank">37 cartel members to the U.S. to face justice.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>20) The <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/25-us-colleges-may-close-soon-brandeis-president-warns" target="_blank">President of Brandeis says up to 25% of colleges may close</a>. Boo hoo. This is what happens when you cease to perform your primary purpose of actually educating people and instead indoctrinate them.</p><p><br /> </p><p>21) A new theory about the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-15492129/Ark-Covenant-new-findings-biblical-relic.html" target="_blank">Ark of the Covenant is that it was built to show God was not contained inside</a>, but was bigger than any man-made idol. Here I thought it was mainly a Nazi killer.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ECONOMIC NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>22) <a href="https://www.pcgamer.com/software/ai/microsoft-ceo-warns-that-we-must-do-something-useful-with-ai-or-theyll-lose-social-permission-to-burn-electricity-on-it/" target="_blank">Microsoft's CEO says they must do "something useful" with AI or they will lose "social permission" to burn electricity.</a> Ah, not exactly there, tuddledumps. We have lots of electricity. What you will lose is access to consumer-paid free electricity to you. Pony up, little man. <a href="https://irinaslav.substack.com/p/the-great-unravelling?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=376351&post_id=185280311&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Irena Slav also notes that "OpenAI may go bankrupt by 2027."</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>23) <a href="https://za.investing.com/news/economic-indicators/us-consumer-sentiment-surges-beating-expectations-and-boosting-dollar-93CH-4076490" target="_blank">Consumer sentiment surged last month</a>. Oops. You mean things are getting better?</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>24) <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/alberta-sees-large-turnout-petition-separate-canada?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6996" target="_blank">Alberta wants to separate from Canada.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>25) Really bad news for Europe, <a href="https://blackmon.substack.com/p/5-big-energy-stories-1232026-europes?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=712558&post_id=185528033&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">as solar and wind have overtaken fossil fuels, meaning Euros will be cold, and in the dark.</a> As <a href="https://irinaslav.substack.com/p/the-great-unravelling?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=376351&post_id=185280311&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Irena Slav points out,</a> the "Great Unraveling" is here. Reuters says <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/europes-energy-weak-spot-reemerges-greenland-dispute-2026-01-21/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">the Euros just now realized they traded dependency on the Russkies for dependency on US after the Greenland flexing.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>26) At Davos, the Head Hun, Fredrich Mertz, said that<a href="https://x.com/MarioNawfal/status/2014266315998183583" target="_blank"> Germany is going to do a U-turn on regulations and throttling entrepreneur</a>s. He almost sounded like Trump, as Jeff Childers pointed out. More Childers: <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/hit-by-the-peace-board-friday-january?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=185549429&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">"the week's biggest story was something even more astonishing, encouraging, and revolutionary than any turnaround in two-tiered justice,"</a> namely the apparent acknowledgment that Davos, NATO, and the WHO are finished. As Childers shows, it's not just that <i>it's happening</i> but that the Eurotrash are treating it like, "Of course it is."</p><p><br /> </p><p>27) An international aid group says that <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/africa/2026/01/21/exclusive-aid-group-nigeria-has-ranked-at-maximum-violence-against-christians-for-8-years-straight/" target="_blank">Nigeria has ranked at "maximum violence" against Christians for eight years.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>28) With his "Board of Peace" to run Gaza, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2026/01/20/politics/trump-gaza-board-of-peace-united-nations" target="_blank">Trump may have also slain the UN.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>29) A study of sports political affiliation shows that <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/sports/2026/01/21/study-pro-athlete-party-affiliation-reveals-shocking-results/" target="_blank">football and basketball players are DemoKKKrats, baseball players are Republicans.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>30) Bill O'Reilly<a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-bill-oreilly-announces-illness-says-he-will-fight-the-good-fight" target="_blank"> having health problems</a>, giving up his podcast.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN MEDICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>31) TX AG Ken Paxton---and future U.S. Senator---<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/texas-ag-starts-investigation-into-vaccine-related-financial-incentives-5974674?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2026-01-23&src_cmp=mb-2026-01-23&utm_medium=email&est=yWmWY%2B1j6vVAa%2FGC0J6%2FafjsAoar15VxqpH%2Fdp1uBaXmwMcB9vAVjiq%2BbLuV9LdDmaYyOts%3D" target="_blank">has launched an investigation into vax "incentives" wherein Big Pharma is bribing doctors.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p><strong>AND FINALLY . . .</strong></p><p><br /> </p><p>32) <a href="https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/colorado-begins-planning-return-of-wolverine-across-its-parks-absent-for-more-than-100-years/" target="_blank">Wolverines are returning to CO parks</a>.

"Liberal Patriot" blared, "<a href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/warning-lights-for-team-blue?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=239058&post_id=185425783&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Warning Lights" for DemoKKKrats."</a> And an earlier piece from "Liberal Patriot," it warned that DemoKKKrats <a href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/democrats-and-the-siren-call-of-culture?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=239058&post_id=185375134&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">are engaged in "cultural denialism."</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>16) Winter storm coming <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15492527/top-12-cities-hit-winter-storm.html" target="_blank">and it's gonna be a cold one.</a> Many places right now are colder than Hillary's, er . . . heart.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>17) Again, this is why I say that MN is ground zero for breaking ALL fraud, including voter fraud.

      <itunes:summary>House Republicans passed twelve appropriations bills for the first time in nearly 30 years, marking a tentative return to basic congressional function. Trump-era enforcement actions coincided with sharp polling gains among Hispanics, falling murder rates in many cities, arrests tied to anti-ICE violence, increased ICE and Border Patrol funding, higher self-deportation incentives, and cartel extraditions from Mexico. Internal shakeups were reported at the FBI, voter rolls continued shifting right in Arizona, and New York courts ordered a congressional map redraw that could affect a GOP seat. The U.S. exited the WHO as Democrats were depicted as fractured and defensive, with media commentary hinting at policy permanence beyond Trump and elevating J.D. Vance as a future standard-bearer. Cultural and economic signals included warnings of college closures, rising consumer sentiment, scrutiny of AI energy use, and investigations into vaccine incentives. Internationally, Europe faced energy and security strain, Germany signaled regulatory reversals, Davos-era institutions appeared to be fading, Alberta floated separation from Canada, Nigeria remained dangerous for Christians, and Gaza governance proposals challenged the UN.</itunes:summary>

      <title>Today&apos;s News, January 20-21, 2026</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) In the biggest news of the day, President Trump took a flamethrower to the Davos crowd. Here is <a href="https://singjupost.com/transcript-president-donald-trump-remarks-wef-davos-2026/" target="_blank">his entire (long) speech.</a> He roasted the stupid Mediocre Brits for just sitting on energy while having energy shortages. He also, as always, <a href="https://x.com/disclosetv/status/2014058661924983080/photo/1" target="_blank">negotiated a deal for territory in Greenland</a>. Chowderchimneys as always failed to understand Trump's negotiating tactics. He begins with, "We want Greenland." But he really doesn't. What he wants is access to key areas of Greenland for the Golden Dome defense. Libs and Hoax Newsers freak out. "Trump is going to invade Greenland." Moronic Little Macaroni in France says "we'll send troops." Germany actually SENT 13 guys (!!!!), then withdrew them after 48 hours. Trump conquered France and Germany in less time than it took the Nazis to take Poland. Now they're all, "Oh, wait, you will be happy with THESE territories? Sure! Fine!" <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/trump-calls-off-tariffs-on-europe-over-greenland-5974346?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2026-01-21-4&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2026-01-21-4&utm_medium=email&est=NvoqA3sje8FZnGwaPSZjl9%2FDocl2mEKJOHRVuj9Bx8zWvYq88eyC3MmxyhHKFCJ8JhUhtvQ%3D" target="_blank">Trump then called off the extra tariffs.</a> And NOW we get the "experts" saying, "You know, <a href="https://nypost.com/2026/01/20/us-news/greenland-critical-for-us-to-fend-off-icmbs-from-russia-and-beyond-experts/" target="_blank">Greenland is critical to defending against Russkie and ChiCom missiles."</a> The <i>New York Slimes</i> tries to minimize this astounding accomplishment by saying he's getting "pockets" of territory. Exsqueeze me, <i>Slimes</i>. If someone said they "wanted' New York, and ended up only getting the "pocket" of NYC, I'm pretty sure they'd be viewed as successful. Don't think anyone will fight too much over the fact they got to keep the Buffalo Hillbillies. Then <a href="https://x.com/JimFergusonUK/status/2013915195584782695?s=20" target="_blank">Howard Luttnick came on stage and said, "Globalism has failed."</a> The only thing more painful to those chatterspatters would have been if he finished with "In the Name of Jesus," but that may be a bridge too far for a Jew.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) In New Somalia, better known as MN, <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/you-are-notice-doj-warns-don-lemon-after-alleged-involvement-left-wing-mob-storming?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6975" target="_blank">Blind Lemon Don faces (irony) KKK charges in barging into a church </a>to terrify worshipers. <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2026/01/19/us/st-paul-minnesota-church-protest-investigation?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">The DOJ is investigating, </a>but the chorus of "WE WANT ARRESTS" is starting to become deafening. I have defended Bondi, but now we're a year in, had two hapless efforts to arrest James Scrotumtoter Comey and Letitia James that went awry, and nothing else. To say the natives are restless would be an understatement. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/minneapolis-prosecutors-aide-spouse-of-city-council-member-disrupted-church-service-in-ice-protest?author=Luke%20Rosiak&category=undefined&elementPosition=2&row=3&rowHeadline=Latest%20News&rowType=Vertical%20Carousel&title=Minneapolis%20Prosecutor%E2%80%99s%20Top%20Aide%20Was%20Part%20Of%20Anti-ICE%20Protest%20At%20Church&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">One of the invaders was a staffer in the county attorney's office.</a> Oh, and the Eighth Circuit said that<a href="https://www.bostonherald.com/2026/01/21/minnesota-immigration-enforcement-legal-battles/" target="_blank"> ICE and cops can go back to using normal, approved tactics with the Molochian eggplant eaters.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Told you the split wouldn't last long. <a href="https://www.axios.com/2026/01/19/elon-musk-10-million-campaign-donation-kentucky" target="_blank">Elon Musk is putting $10m into a key KY Senate race.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Seth Keshel argues that <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/article/why-greenland-is-vital-for-us-to-counter-china-and-russia-5971427?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2026-01-21-2&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2026-01-21-2&utm_medium=email&est=dBljKmn%2Blm0zhKkYP7tpAqGHOItJjfDJB6MKLWUNGLOUUn7%2ByTpBwXi5%2Baowbs1%2F9hN0zJI%3D" target="_blank">VA is a cautionary tale,</a> especially when the morons in IN refused to redistrict cuz it wouldn't be "nice."

Coaches may be <a href="https://www.wildworldofpolitics.com/blog/hashtags/2" target="_blank">#2</a>, but the gap between their importance and a QB is Grand Canyon-sized. So it comes down to---with Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson---these guys have two, maybe three more good years in them. Neither is Tom Brady, who usually threw the ball before defenders could even put their mouthpieces in. He took very, very few hits, and certain took almost none running the ball. But the new "athletic" QBs are getting MAULED. Love, Nix, and, for part of the season, Jackson were all out. Gone is the day when a Nick Foles or an Earl Morral can step in and win a Super Bowl for you. So the reasoning is, "Can another coach do with (fill in the name) better than the last guy, who continually came up short in the playoffs can?"</p><p><br /> </p><p><br /> </p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_cd79e3c285e8463e8d4dcc1b8dd86556~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_90,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_cd79e3c285e8463e8d4dcc1b8dd86556~mv2.png" alt="" />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) In the biggest news of the day, President Trump took a flamethrower to the Davos crowd. Here is <a href="https://singjupost.com/transcript-president-donald-trump-remarks-wef-davos-2026/" target="_blank">his entire (long) speech.</a> He roasted the stupid Mediocre Brits for just sitting on energy while having energy shortages. He also, as always, <a href="https://x.com/disclosetv/status/2014058661924983080/photo/1" target="_blank">negotiated a deal for territory in Greenland</a>. Chowderchimneys as always failed to understand Trump's negotiating tactics. He begins with, "We want Greenland." But he really doesn't. What he wants is access to key areas of Greenland for the Golden Dome defense. Libs and Hoax Newsers freak out. "Trump is going to invade Greenland." Moronic Little Macaroni in France says "we'll send troops." Germany actually SENT 13 guys (!!!!), then withdrew them after 48 hours. Trump conquered France and Germany in less time than it took the Nazis to take Poland. Now they're all, "Oh, wait, you will be happy with THESE territories? Sure! Fine!" <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/trump-calls-off-tariffs-on-europe-over-greenland-5974346?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2026-01-21-4&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2026-01-21-4&utm_medium=email&est=NvoqA3sje8FZnGwaPSZjl9%2FDocl2mEKJOHRVuj9Bx8zWvYq88eyC3MmxyhHKFCJ8JhUhtvQ%3D" target="_blank">Trump then called off the extra tariffs.</a> And NOW we get the "experts" saying, "You know, <a href="https://nypost.com/2026/01/20/us-news/greenland-critical-for-us-to-fend-off-icmbs-from-russia-and-beyond-experts/" target="_blank">Greenland is critical to defending against Russkie and ChiCom missiles."</a> The <i>New York Slimes</i> tries to minimize this astounding accomplishment by saying he's getting "pockets" of territory. Exsqueeze me, <i>Slimes</i>. If someone said they "wanted' New York, and ended up only getting the "pocket" of NYC, I'm pretty sure they'd be viewed as successful. Don't think anyone will fight too much over the fact they got to keep the Buffalo Hillbillies.

Coaches may be <a href="https://www.wildworldofpolitics.com/blog/hashtags/2" target="_blank">#2</a>, but the gap between their importance and a QB is Grand Canyon-sized. So it comes down to---with Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson---these guys have two, maybe three more good years in them. Neither is Tom Brady, who usually threw the ball before defenders could even put their mouthpieces in. He took very, very few hits, and certain took almost none running the ball. But the new "athletic" QBs are getting MAULED. Love, Nix, and, for part of the season, Jackson were all out. Gone is the day when a Nick Foles or an Earl Morral can step in and win a Super Bowl for you. So the reasoning is, "Can another coach do with (fill in the name) better than the last guy, who continually came up short in the playoffs can?"</p><p><br /> </p><p><br /> </p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_cd79e3c285e8463e8d4dcc1b8dd86556~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_90,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_cd79e3c285e8463e8d4dcc1b8dd86556~mv2.png" alt="" />

      <title>Today&apos;s News, January 18-19, 2026</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) A great column here by Chris Bray on <a href="https://chrisbray.substack.com/p/what-blue-zone-collapse-looks-like?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=484195&post_id=184905089&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">blue zone collapse</a>. Many of us have wondered, "how long can this keep goin' on" (with apologies to the band, "Ace")? Bray argues that the size of these cancerous blue zones prevents an implosion as one might see with a Vegas casino, but rather a slow, mind-numbing reduction in daily quality of life and government services that people are slow to respond to---a kind of boiled frog. He notes various towns around SF have seen their fire departments halved, police response time now up to 30 minutes, plus the constant un-repaired roads, while money consistently goes into administrators' pockets. Chris<a href="https://chrisbray.substack.com/p/dont-you-dare-interrupt-our-collapse?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1bad3ef2-8a4f-4ae3-b15b-70ef5fa57cde_760x1436.png&open=false" target="_blank"> followed up with another column in the same vein, showing how Hennepin Co. (MN, naturally) County Hospital is collapsing </a>with a $36 million deficit. In a letter to all employees, the administrator said they must find $50 million in the <i>first quarter</i> or close. Welp, ya got 11 weeks. This utter pigbladder of an administrator, when listing the hospital's mission, didn't say "Healing the sick." Oh no. Wanna guess? Yep, "ending disparities' in health care. <i>Folks they are more concerned that everyone dies together than anyone lives.</i></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) CBS says <a href="https://wltreport.com/2026/01/18/cbs-poll-trumps-approval-among-republicans-jumps-90/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">Trump's approval among Republicans is 90%</a>.

Look, it's her or the Amazing Zohran. She isn't radical enough for the chutescooters in fascist antifa or Black Looters Matter. So you're gonna get Zohran with a divided party;. Can you say President Vance with 360 electoral votes? I'm telling you, this is a serious rift in the DemoKKKrat Party and this Israel thing is one of the big divides is.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) A great column here by Chris Bray on <a href="https://chrisbray.substack.com/p/what-blue-zone-collapse-looks-like?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=484195&post_id=184905089&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">blue zone collapse</a>. Many of us have wondered, "how long can this keep goin' on" (with apologies to the band, "Ace")? Bray argues that the size of these cancerous blue zones prevents an implosion as one might see with a Vegas casino, but rather a slow, mind-numbing reduction in daily quality of life and government services that people are slow to respond to---a kind of boiled frog. He notes various towns around SF have seen their fire departments halved, police response time now up to 30 minutes, plus the constant un-repaired roads, while money consistently goes into administrators' pockets. Chris<a href="https://chrisbray.substack.com/p/dont-you-dare-interrupt-our-collapse?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1bad3ef2-8a4f-4ae3-b15b-70ef5fa57cde_760x1436.png&open=false" target="_blank"> followed up with another column in the same vein, showing how Hennepin Co. (MN, naturally) County Hospital is collapsing </a>with a $36 million deficit. In a letter to all employees, the administrator said they must find $50 million in the <i>first quarter</i> or close. Welp, ya got 11 weeks. This utter pigbladder of an administrator, when listing the hospital's mission, didn't say "Healing the sick." Oh no. Wanna guess? Yep, "ending disparities' in health care. <i>Folks they are more concerned that everyone dies together than anyone lives.</i></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) CBS says <a href="https://wltreport.com/2026/01/18/cbs-poll-trumps-approval-among-republicans-jumps-90/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">Trump's approval among Republicans is 90%</a>. It's the Communist Broadcasting System, so make it 97%. But hold on. I thought DemoKKKrats were going to win everything in November. Now <a href="https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/5693006-minnesota-democrats-scandal-threat/" target="_blank"><i>The Hill</i> (a DemoKKKrat mouthpiece) is warning that it may be entirely derailed by the Skinny Minny fraud?</a> Meanwhile, I do NOT trust any poll, <a href="https://x.com/i/status/2012928326138986600" target="_blank">but this one is pretty devastating for DemoKKKrats.</a> Oh, and <a href="https://www.axios.com/2026/01/19/kamala-harris-divide-democrats-2028" target="_blank">DemoKKKrats are already dividing over Cackles,</a> who is "eyeing" a 2028 presidential run. Look, it's her or the Amazing Zohran. She isn't radical enough for the chutescooters in fascist antifa or Black Looters Matter. So you're gonna get Zohran with a divided party;. Can you say President Vance with 360 electoral votes? I'm telling you, this is a serious rift in the DemoKKKrat Party and this Israel thing is one of the big divides is. Cackles <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2026/01/18/pennsylvania-gov-josh-shapiro-alleges-kamala-harris-staff-questioned-israeli-agent/" target="_blank">had her staff investigate PA Gov.

Immigration enforcement intensified with zero border releases, mass arrests, and broader cooperation with local authorities, reframing “niceness” as avoidance of accountability.

      <title>Today&apos;s News, January 15-17, 2026</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) The people spoke and AG Pam Bondi listened, <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/2011626233323241765" target="_blank">firing six federal prosecutors who refused to support ICE operations.</a> The DOJ has also <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2026/01/16/trump-minnesota-walz-frey-criminal-investigation/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">launched a criminal investigation of the Prancing Gheyboy Tampon Timmy.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) As an educator, one of my running themes here is to remind you of stuff we discussed before, not to say "told ya so" (though I did) but to keep things in perspective. In this case, I've been saying the Skinny Minny fraud is the breakpoint on all this stuff, including a lot of leftover USAID $ they were re-funneling. So now <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/dr-oz-states-spending-medicaid-funds-on-illegal-immigrants-worse-than-we-thought-5971056?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2026-01-16&src_cmp=mb-2026-01-16&utm_medium=email&est=o9DxMiazCU2HGYS0YuxuUzH2drORVsraGS7htoUI%2Bn%2F6UBo%2F8miTCT2iaZJuHwXLVmiBqI8%3D" target="_blank">Dr. Oz, administrator for the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, has found another $1.8 billion in fraudulent spending under the previous administration, all of it linked to . . . <i><strong>illegal aliens</strong></i>.</a> Just one of many, but <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2seVaLUKNY&feature=youtu.be" target="_blank">this MN resident</a> exemplifies the DemoKKKrat Civil War <a href="https://www.wildworldofpolitics.com/blog/hashtags/2" target="_blank">#2</a> I alerted you to last year when he essentially says toward the end that the Skinny fraudsters are are sucking up money meant for the hood. Watch to the end, as he has a slow build to rage. Meanwhile, <a href="https://x.com/nickshirleyy/status/2011567958754013343" target="_blank">Nick Shirley exposes <i>another</i> $16 million MN fraud.</a> DemoKKKrats get that what is coming is unstoppable, <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2026/01/15/minnesota-attorney-general-keith-ellison-charges-minneapolis-man-with-over-3-million-in-medicaid-fraud/" target="_blank">hence the MN AG Keith Ellison has actually charged a Muslim man with fraud</a>. They are trying to get ahead of it.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Common sense DemoKKKrats at <a href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/the-bankruptcy-of-the-democrats-elvis?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=239058&post_id=184623547&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">"The Liberal Patriot" </a>understand that you can't have an immigration policy that doesn't block people and/or deport them. Fortunately no one else in the DemoKKKrat Terror Party will listen to them.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Wait, so you're telling me Donald Trump is going to Make American Gangs Great Again? <a href="https://christopherrufo.com/p/foreign-fraud-gangs-are-ripping-off?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1248321&post_id=184676252&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Foreign fraudsters are now impinging on West Coast Crips/Bloods gang operations</a>. I sense a new alliance afoot.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) This is more like it. The <a href="https://justthenews.com/nation/states/center-square/us-build-nuclear-reactor-moon-2030-cost-unknown" target="_blank">U.S. plans to build a nuke reactor on the moon by 2030 in preparation for deep space flight.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Jazzy What-a-Crockett looks sunk as <a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/jasmine-crocketts-senate-hopes-crash-and-burn-as-party-ditches-her-for-well-spoken-democrat-jrupp/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank">the DemoKKKrats move to ditch her.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Both <a href="https://floridaphoenix.com/2026/01/15/florida-supreme-court-ends-three-decade-reliance-on-aba-handing-win-to-desantis/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">FL</a> and <a href="https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/state/article/texas-supreme-court-aba-accreditation-oversight-21282050.php?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">TX</a> are beginning to cut out the American Bar Association from its malicious influence on justice selection and law school oversight.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Seth Keshel argues <a href="https://www.captaink.us/p/is-the-white-house-figuring-out-the?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=798984&post_id=184783423&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">that the Trump administration has figured out the foundation of voter fraud.</a> Bondi has sued 23 states for their voter rolls. Some, as expected, are fighting back, but eventually this will likely become unavoidable to all states. As Keshel notes, in the states WITHOUT "automatic voter registration," Trump won 243 Electoral Votes and 25 states in 2024, while Cackles only won one state and one district that for 5 Electoral Votes from non-automatic-voter-registration states. In fact, <a href="https://www.captaink.us/p/is-the-white-house-figuring-out-the?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=798984&post_id=184783423&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Trump has already deported enough people from MN for the state to lose a congressional seat</a>! Good.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) Chris Bray argues that the <a href="https://x.com/APompliano/status/2012159523541205008/photo/1" target="_blank">"expulsion of noise" from the butyraceous and oleaginous Grusome is meant to disguise the fact that Kollyfornia is broke.</a> His own state Legislative Analyst Office said that the negative condition of state finances is "now chronic." <a href="https://youtu.be/3tvcKZQkhYU" target="_blank">Some of MN's people are now saying the same about their state</a>.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) The people spoke and AG Pam Bondi listened, <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/2011626233323241765" target="_blank">firing six federal prosecutors who refused to support ICE operations.</a> The DOJ has also <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2026/01/16/trump-minnesota-walz-frey-criminal-investigation/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">launched a criminal investigation of the Prancing Gheyboy Tampon Timmy.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) As an educator, one of my running themes here is to remind you of stuff we discussed before, not to say "told ya so" (though I did) but to keep things in perspective. In this case, I've been saying the Skinny Minny fraud is the breakpoint on all this stuff, including a lot of leftover USAID $ they were re-funneling. So now <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/dr-oz-states-spending-medicaid-funds-on-illegal-immigrants-worse-than-we-thought-5971056?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2026-01-16&src_cmp=mb-2026-01-16&utm_medium=email&est=o9DxMiazCU2HGYS0YuxuUzH2drORVsraGS7htoUI%2Bn%2F6UBo%2F8miTCT2iaZJuHwXLVmiBqI8%3D" target="_blank">Dr. Oz, administrator for the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, has found another $1.8 billion in fraudulent spending under the previous administration, all of it linked to . . . <i><strong>illegal aliens</strong></i>.</a> Just one of many, but <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2seVaLUKNY&feature=youtu.be" target="_blank">this MN resident</a> exemplifies the DemoKKKrat Civil War <a href="https://www.wildworldofpolitics.com/blog/hashtags/2" target="_blank">#2</a> I alerted you to last year when he essentially says toward the end that the Skinny fraudsters are are sucking up money meant for the hood. Watch to the end, as he has a slow build to rage. Meanwhile, <a href="https://x.com/nickshirleyy/status/2011567958754013343" target="_blank">Nick Shirley exposes <i>another</i> $16 million MN fraud.</a> DemoKKKrats get that what is coming is unstoppable, <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2026/01/15/minnesota-attorney-general-keith-ellison-charges-minneapolis-man-with-over-3-million-in-medicaid-fraud/" target="_blank">hence the MN AG Keith Ellison has actually charged a Muslim man with fraud</a>. They are trying to get ahead of it.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Common sense DemoKKKrats at <a href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/the-bankruptcy-of-the-democrats-elvis?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=239058&post_id=184623547&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">"The Liberal Patriot" </a>understand that you can't have an immigration policy that doesn't block people and/or deport them. Fortunately no one else in the DemoKKKrat Terror Party will listen to them.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Wait, so you're telling me Donald Trump is going to Make American Gangs Great Again? <a href="https://christopherrufo.com/p/foreign-fraud-gangs-are-ripping-off?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1248321&post_id=184676252&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Foreign fraudsters are now impinging on West Coast Crips/Bloods gang operations</a>. I sense a new alliance afoot.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) This is more like it. The <a href="https://justthenews.com/nation/states/center-square/us-build-nuclear-reactor-moon-2030-cost-unknown" target="_blank">U.S. plans to build a nuke reactor on the moon by 2030 in preparation for deep space flight.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Jazzy What-a-Crockett looks sunk as <a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/jasmine-crocketts-senate-hopes-crash-and-burn-as-party-ditches-her-for-well-spoken-democrat-jrupp/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank">the DemoKKKrats move to ditch her.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Both <a href="https://floridaphoenix.com/2026/01/15/florida-supreme-court-ends-three-decade-reliance-on-aba-handing-win-to-desantis/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">FL</a> and <a href="https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/state/article/texas-supreme-court-aba-accreditation-oversight-21282050.php?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">TX</a> are beginning to cut out the American Bar Association from its malicious influence on justice selection and law school oversight.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Seth Keshel argues <a href="https://www.captaink.us/p/is-the-white-house-figuring-out-the?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=798984&post_id=184783423&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">that the Trump administration has figured out the foundation of voter fraud.</a> Bondi has sued 23 states for their voter rolls. Some, as expected, are fighting back, but eventually this will likely become unavoidable to all states. As Keshel notes, in the states WITHOUT "automatic voter registration," Trump won 243 Electoral Votes and 25 states in 2024, while Cackles only won one state and one district that for 5 Electoral Votes from non-automatic-voter-registration states. In fact, <a href="https://www.captaink.us/p/is-the-white-house-figuring-out-the?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=798984&post_id=184783423&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Trump has already deported enough people from MN for the state to lose a congressional seat</a>! Good.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) Chris Bray argues that the <a href="https://x.com/APompliano/status/2012159523541205008/photo/1" target="_blank">"expulsion of noise" from the butyraceous and oleaginous Grusome is meant to disguise the fact that Kollyfornia is broke.</a> His own state Legislative Analyst Office said that the negative condition of state finances is "now chronic." <a href="https://youtu.be/3tvcKZQkhYU" target="_blank">Some of MN's people are now saying the same about their state</a>. Folks, even if every single agency under USAID isn't completely closed, good enough. Trump has turned off the spigots to the point that <i>several blue states</i> have become insolvent.

Economically, U.S. manufacturing, construction, and wages strengthened alongside falling inflation, rising home sales, easing mortgage rates, declining condo prices, and major investments in chips, AI infrastructure, and energy, even as EV enthusiasm cooled. Internationally, Trump advanced a strategy of regime pressure rather than nation-building, engaging Venezuela’s opposition, confronting Iran and China, and signaling shifts across Europe and the Caribbean.

      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) While it's early, it appears that the artificial "outrage" over the shooting of the MN would-be car murderer failed to achieve liftoff. Not that they ain't trying. There is a big protest organized by the Socialists in NYC <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/minneapolis-ice-shooting-shows-left-wings-protest-industrial-complex-wants-another-george?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6882" target="_blank">here</a>; and as Roger Kimball argues <a href="https://amgreatness.com/2026/01/11/anatomy-of-a-failed-moral-panic/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=" target="_blank">here</a>, the cold in part tamped down protests in many blue cities. Let them eat icicles. There were "tens of thousands" of marchers in MN, demanding "We won't stop til it's 1793." Apparently devoid of any historical understanding, 1793 was the year the "Reign of Terror" began in France, where, after a few nobles were separated from their cranial cavities, guess who the Committee on Public Safety came for? Yep. The very "revolutionaries" like Robespierre who started the bloodshed. Oh, and who was left standing? This guy:</p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_31997ea4cc89494aa6936a0b1f7bd66f~mv2.webp/v1/fill/w_794,h_1229,al_c,q_85,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_31997ea4cc89494aa6936a0b1f7bd66f~mv2.webp" alt="" /><p><br /> </p><p>2) That didn't take long:<a href="https://wltreport.com/2026/01/09/newly-sworn-maine-city-councilman-somalia-resigns-amid/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank"> a newly-sworn-in Somali city council member in ME resigned after an indictment for fraud.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Remember the 2024 campaign and I said the DemoKKKrats had five civil wars, and couldn't win any of them? Yeah, still happening.<a href="https://www.axios.com/2026/01/13/defund-ice-democrats-minneapolis-portland" target="_blank"> They have a civil war going on over ICE </a>funding. PA continues to trend Republican with another <a href="https://x.com/RedEaglePatriot/status/2010776495829237889" target="_blank">big jump of R+7200</a>. Now Rs are down only 49,000 in active voters. PA will be red before 2028. And after a court fight, <a href="https://x.com/TomFitton/status/2010517036246478852" target="_blank">OR will clean 800,000 names from the rolls</a>. Wanna bet how many of those are DemoKKKrats? And here is <a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2026/01/12/mark_penn_the_left_grows_in_the_democratic_party_until_it_collapses_and_the_center_reasserts_itself.html" target="_blank">Clinton pollster Mark Penn warning that the DemoKKKrat spoogemuffins are going to dominate the party until it disappears. </a>Wait, who else has been saying the DemoKKKrats would disappear? Meanwhile, a <a href="https://thedailyoverview.com/expert-warns-california-could-see-mass-migration-within-12-months/" target="_blank">DemoKKKrat strategist warns</a> that Kollyfornia will see a mass exodus in the next few months due to ridiculously high prices and high taxes. It is true<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/independent-voters-hit-record-high-as-both-parties-lose-ground-poll" target="_blank"> that independents have hit a record high</a>, but that's not good news for DemoKKKrats, as a) a much higher percentage of indies come from Ds, and b) the GOP nevertheless has gained relative to DemoKKKrats in every state. I look at this as a two-step process: first, leave the DemoKKKrats, second, join the GOP later.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Kollyfornia wealthy people <a href="https://hotair.com/john-s-2/2026/01/09/googles-founders-reduce-ties-to-california-in-advance-of-wealth-tax-n3810675" target="_blank">prepare to leave if wealth tax is implemented</a>.

Let them eat icicles. There were "tens of thousands" of marchers in MN, demanding "We won't stop til it's 1793."

The administration advanced major initiatives including a $32B air traffic control overhaul, renewed lunar missions, tighter immigration enforcement, higher visa fees, and aggressive economic and energy policies as mortgage rates fell, drilling permits surged, and large employers announced layoffs and bankruptcies.

      <title>Today&apos;s News, January 8-9, 2026</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Just getting started but <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/economy/2026/01/07/minnesota-democrats-blocked-auditors-from-tackling-avalanche-of-somali-fraud-blacklisted-whistleblowers/" target="_blank">MN state government (guess who, ultimately?) blocked investigators looking at the Skinny Minny fraud</a> and blacklisted whistleblowers. New info today says <a href="https://x.com/MarioNawfal/status/2009188335873302712" target="_blank">Gheyboy's gubment threatened to come after their families and their homes</a>. Who would ever want to work for this hideous, vile, evil snotbag of a state? And as many have prophesied, the violence will only increase because DemoKKKrats are out of options. Yesterday, <a href="https://wltreport.com/2026/01/08/breaking-federal-agents-sht-two-people-portland/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">Border Patrol shot two people in Portland.</a> The leftoids' reaction? The Prancing Gheyboy Tampon Timmy announced that <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/minnesota-governor-calls-up-national-guard-to-support-law-enforcement-5968258?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2026-01-09&src_cmp=mb-2026-01-09&utm_medium=email&est=at59Jfx4sKhl8SUeQ15Kn2c8ncsbyiBLCEuKyOdTwjLjZCZ5bpYF3BqwrIfoV3PqZLR0BHU%3D" target="_blank">he was authorizing the call up of the national guard to protect police to "keep the peace." </a>Watch: This will become a George Wallace in the school house door moment if they in any way obstruct ICE or federal agents: Trump will then have authority to nationalize them. Stupid move by the Tamponed One. And Congress? Yeah, they're so effective. Cong. <a href="https://justthenews.com/government/security/neville-signham-hit-house-subpoena-his-ccp-tied-network-leads-renewed-anti-ice?utm_source=daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter" target="_blank">Anna Paulina Luna has subpoenaed billionaire Neville Singham, who is flagrantly funding anti-ICE.</a> Oh, and Renee Good, the dysfunctional woman who tried to run down an ICE officer and paid for it? <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/renee-good-was-trained-ice-watch-warrior-locals-say" target="_blank">She was an official "ICE watch" </a>records show, officially aligned with anti-ICE terror groups. Sorry, no sympathy here. Then we have Scott "Hamilton" Bessent, <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/bessent-delivers-bad-news-to-somalis-on-the-dole-no-more-wire-transfers-to-the-homeland?utm_source=theblaze-breaking&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Afternoon%20Trending&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%20TheBlaze%20Breaking%20News&tpcc=email-breaking" target="_blank">who shut down all further Skinny transfers to the homeland.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) I'm getting to be so right, so often, it's almost boring. I said that the Skinny Minny fraud would be found in MANY states, especially blue states. Welp,<a href="https://kcgop.org/washington-policy-center-king-county-lost-1-8-billion-and-nobody-got-fired/" target="_blank"> here is Washington State weighing in, with an audit showing $1.8 billion missing from King County. </a>And here <a href="https://nypost.com/2026/01/08/us-news/nys-fraudulent-cdpap-program-lost-1-2-billion-to-scammers-and-mismanagement/" target="_blank">a NY state health program, riddled with fraud.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>3) To no one's surprise, then,<a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2026/01/08/vance-assistant-attorney-general-00716530?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> J.D. Vance rolled out a new assistant AG dedicated strictly to this kind of fraud and <i>based in the White House</i>, not the DOJ.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Saying that "we knocked out" all the drugs coming in by water, and <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-says-us-will-begin-strikes-on-cartels-in-mexico-5968491?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2026-01-09&src_cmp=mb-2026-01-09&utm_medium=email&est=EzkUZQuK5DxkXJp6Mo%2F77KXt9VNOPSChy53ccs1VCenf160jNmmQA4%2F%2F0v26dpKPgzGpbic%3D" target="_blank">now he will authorize strikes in Me-hee-co on the cartels</a>. Wanna bet Scheinbaum suddenly finds the cajones to do the strikes herself? Again, though, this is concerning. Ol' Woody Wilson sent Blackjack Pershing and George Patton after Pancho Villa into Me-hee-co and they failed. Course, they were just running, as opposed to having large, stationary targets.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) <a href="https://x.com/RedLineReportt/status/2009314306815611329" target="_blank">NJ has lurched far to the right as the latest voter registration there shows Rs gaining a whopping 44,000 on Ds.</a> I know, I know, I repeat myself, but this is happening in <i><strong>EVERY SINGLE STATE WE CAN TRACK.</strong></i> In almost two years, the ONLY brief periods in ANY state where there has been a D "recovery" has been in PA and NJ during DemoKKKrat primary season. Both have lost all those gains. <a href="https://www.texastribune.org/2026/01/09/texas-voter-roll-trump-administration-justice-department-democrats-dnc/?utm_source=thetexastribune.beehiiv.com&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=top-story-texas-hands-over-complete-list-of-registered-voters-to-trump-administration&_bhlid=ec585435991539f039cc7650aa22e26141db19fe" target="_blank">TX, which does not register by party, has handed over its full voter rolls to the feds, as per law. </a>Ooh, and <a href="https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2026/01/08/congress/julia-brownley-california-retiring-00716931?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter" target="_blank">another D is leaving the house</a>, making the number Rs -30, Ds -24 and growing.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Here is another reason Congress's approval is swirling the toilet bowl. <a href="https://amgreatness.com/2026/01/09/morning-greatness-house-passes-three-year-extension-of-enhanced-obamacare-subsidies/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=" target="_blank">When they do act, they do incredibly stupid stuff like extend Obamacare rather than kill that, er, witch.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>7) There are Kollyfornia calls <a href="https://100percentfedup.com/president-trump-federalize-partslifornia/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">for Trump to federalize via emergency declaration Palisades where ZERO homebuilding has started after the fire a year ago.</a> It is increasingly looking like blue states want to be seen as the Confederacy after Appomattox and want to be governed in "military districts."</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Typical Trumpian carrot and stick. First he threatened Raytheon to get on board, that it was too slow and not delivering good enough stuff, then he <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory/trump-shook-defense-stocks-week-129030516" target="_blank">announced a $1.5 trillion defense budget that sent defense stocks flying.</a> Certain panic spoogenuggets very distraught.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) Fat Fani Willis <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/fani-willis-failed-lawfare-against-trump-might-cost-her-a-fortune?utm_source=theblaze-breaking&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Morning%20Trending&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%20TheBlaze%20Breaking%20News&tpcc=email-breaking" target="_blank">may be on the hook for millions in President Trump's legal fees. </a>There's another room in the Trump Presidential Library.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) Looks like the <a href="https://www.axios.com/2026/01/09/trump-mtg-restaurant-protest-secret-service" target="_blank">unhinged MTG may have tipped off protesters about Trump's visit to a restaurant, creating a security incident.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>11) U-Haul records show it's not just millionaires leaving Kollyfornia.<a href="https://hotair.com/john-s-2/2026/01/08/its-not-just-billionaires-leaving-california-n3810639" target="_blank"> <i><strong>It's the highest gap between leavers and arrivals in any state in the Union.</strong></i></a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>12) The ICE agent who in self defense fired at a nutjob MN driver who tried to run him over <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/how-the-minneapolis-ice-agent-who-fired-in-self-defense-was-nearly-killed-by-an-illegal-alien-child-rapist-in-june?utm_source=theblaze-breaking&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=BREAKING&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%20On%20Any%20Current%20Sending%20List&tpcc=email-breaking" target="_blank">was nearly killed in June by an illegal alien invader rapist.</a> President Trump <a href="https://protrumpnews.com/trump-speaks-out-on-ice-shooting-says-agent-is-now-recovering-in-the-hospital/" target="_blank">spoke to the officer</a>, who is recovering in the hospital.</p><p><br /> </p><p>13) If we have to bankrupt these jerkweeds, so be it. <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/us-to-pull-160-million-from-california-over-licenses-for-foreign-truck-drivers-5967742?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">Department of Transpo has pulled $160 million from Kollyfornia</a> for their practice of handing drivers' licenses to illegal piddledippers.</p><p><br /> </p><p>14) <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/hospitality/hilton-removes-hotel-from-its-system-after-it-refuses-service-to-ice-agents-14ecccbf?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Hilton Hotels gave the boot to a Hampton Inn member hotel that refused reservations for ICE in Minny.</a> Just a few days ago, Jeff Childers at "Coffee and Covid" reminded us (in the context of DEI at that time) that all invoices to the feds are basically a statement of compliance. Meaning, Hilton would have risked ALL its fed contracts if it allowed this goofball hotelier to stand.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ECONOMIC NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>15) The U.S. <a href="https://wolfstreet.com/2026/01/08/trade-deficit-drops-to-least-terrible-level-since-2009-upon-which-atlanta-fed-gdpnow-doubles-q4-gdp-forecast-to-5-4/" target="_blank">trade deficit dropped to the lowest level in years, decreasing by $19 billion and prompting the Atlanta fed forecast 5.4% growth</a> for the 4h quarter of last year. Imports DECLINED 9% exports ROSE 6%.</p><p><br /> </p><p>16) According to ADP, <a href="https://wolfstreet.com/2026/01/07/adp-employment-report-41000-mostly-at-medium-size-companies-small-companies-had-first-payroll-gain-in-5-months/" target="_blank">the increase in 41,000 jobs last month came mostly with mid-sized employers and saw small companies have their first payroll gain in five months.</a> Here's the really important number: <a href="https://x.com/RealEJAntoni/status/2009632107115786341" target="_blank">total employment increased to 232 </a>million. Native born Americans <a href="https://x.com/i/status/2009626522857157046" target="_blank">gained over 2 million jobs in 2025, foreign born lost over 660,000</a>. Good trend. Oh, and inflation fell to a stunning 1.9%.</p><p><br /> </p><p>17) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-to-order-purchase-of-200-billion-in-mortgage-bonds-5968261?utm_source=morningbriefnoe&src_src=morningbriefnoe&utm_campaign=mb-2026-01-09&src_cmp=mb-2026-01-09&utm_medium=email&est=O7vVhAdxPcVGfU0SWz%2ByokDsIZ9QFb2p27G2DDWaiDCdjXONJ0uEPztLfqc%2F%2Bzapyk4G9SYIXg0%3D" target="_blank">Trump has announced the federal government will buy $200 billion in mortgage bonds by the Federal Home Financing Agency</a> to bring down mortgage costs. This came a day after <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-says-us-will-ban-large-investors-from-buying-single-family-homes-5967497" target="_blank">he issued an executive order banning "institutional" investors from buying up housing</a>. Dunno. Government activism like this rarely works, and those "institutional investors" make up a tiny % of all home mortgages. If you're a free marketeer, this isn't good news. But as in so many areas, Trump sees the gubment as flat broken, and is going to fix things regardless of which branch does it. Do you really think Congress could get off its partisan ass and do this?</p><p><br /> </p><p>18) Anyone who has followed me knows I've been beating the drums for any and all types of power for Big Data/AI, which is coming. <a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/meta-unveils-sweeping-nuclear-power-plan-to-fuel-its-ai-ambitions-65c56aac?mod=energy-oil_news_article_pos2&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Now Meta ("Meta" means death in Hebrew) is launching a "sweeping" campaign for nuke powe</a>r.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Just getting started but <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/economy/2026/01/07/minnesota-democrats-blocked-auditors-from-tackling-avalanche-of-somali-fraud-blacklisted-whistleblowers/" target="_blank">MN state government (guess who, ultimately?) blocked investigators looking at the Skinny Minny fraud</a> and blacklisted whistleblowers. New info today says <a href="https://x.com/MarioNawfal/status/2009188335873302712" target="_blank">Gheyboy's gubment threatened to come after their families and their homes</a>. Who would ever want to work for this hideous, vile, evil snotbag of a state? And as many have prophesied, the violence will only increase because DemoKKKrats are out of options. Yesterday, <a href="https://wltreport.com/2026/01/08/breaking-federal-agents-sht-two-people-portland/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">Border Patrol shot two people in Portland.</a> The leftoids' reaction? The Prancing Gheyboy Tampon Timmy announced that <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/minnesota-governor-calls-up-national-guard-to-support-law-enforcement-5968258?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2026-01-09&src_cmp=mb-2026-01-09&utm_medium=email&est=at59Jfx4sKhl8SUeQ15Kn2c8ncsbyiBLCEuKyOdTwjLjZCZ5bpYF3BqwrIfoV3PqZLR0BHU%3D" target="_blank">he was authorizing the call up of the national guard to protect police to "keep the peace." </a>Watch: This will become a George Wallace in the school house door moment if they in any way obstruct ICE or federal agents: Trump will then have authority to nationalize them. Stupid move by the Tamponed One. And Congress? Yeah, they're so effective. Cong. <a href="https://justthenews.com/government/security/neville-signham-hit-house-subpoena-his-ccp-tied-network-leads-renewed-anti-ice?utm_source=daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter" target="_blank">Anna Paulina Luna has subpoenaed billionaire Neville Singham, who is flagrantly funding anti-ICE.</a> Oh, and Renee Good, the dysfunctional woman who tried to run down an ICE officer and paid for it? <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/renee-good-was-trained-ice-watch-warrior-locals-say" target="_blank">She was an official "ICE watch" </a>records show, officially aligned with anti-ICE terror groups. Sorry, no sympathy here. Then we have Scott "Hamilton" Bessent, <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/bessent-delivers-bad-news-to-somalis-on-the-dole-no-more-wire-transfers-to-the-homeland?utm_source=theblaze-breaking&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Afternoon%20Trending&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%20TheBlaze%20Breaking%20News&tpcc=email-breaking" target="_blank">who shut down all further Skinny transfers to the homeland.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) I'm getting to be so right, so often, it's almost boring. I said that the Skinny Minny fraud would be found in MANY states, especially blue states. Welp,<a href="https://kcgop.org/washington-policy-center-king-county-lost-1-8-billion-and-nobody-got-fired/" target="_blank"> here is Washington State weighing in, with an audit showing $1.8 billion missing from King County. </a>And here <a href="https://nypost.com/2026/01/08/us-news/nys-fraudulent-cdpap-program-lost-1-2-billion-to-scammers-and-mismanagement/" target="_blank">a NY state health program, riddled with fraud.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>3) To no one's surprise, then,<a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2026/01/08/vance-assistant-attorney-general-00716530?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> J.D. Vance rolled out a new assistant AG dedicated strictly to this kind of fraud and <i>based in the White House</i>, not the DOJ.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Saying that "we knocked out" all the drugs coming in by water, and <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-says-us-will-begin-strikes-on-cartels-in-mexico-5968491?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2026-01-09&src_cmp=mb-2026-01-09&utm_medium=email&est=EzkUZQuK5DxkXJp6Mo%2F77KXt9VNOPSChy53ccs1VCenf160jNmmQA4%2F%2F0v26dpKPgzGpbic%3D" target="_blank">now he will authorize strikes in Me-hee-co on the cartels</a>. Wanna bet Scheinbaum suddenly finds the cajones to do the strikes herself? Again, though, this is concerning. Ol' Woody Wilson sent Blackjack Pershing and George Patton after Pancho Villa into Me-hee-co and they failed. Course, they were just running, as opposed to having large, stationary targets.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) <a href="https://x.com/RedLineReportt/status/2009314306815611329" target="_blank">NJ has lurched far to the right as the latest voter registration there shows Rs gaining a whopping 44,000 on Ds.</a> I know, I know, I repeat myself, but this is happening in <i><strong>EVERY SINGLE STATE WE CAN TRACK.</strong></i> In almost two years, the ONLY brief periods in ANY state where there has been a D "recovery" has been in PA and NJ during DemoKKKrat primary season. Both have lost all those gains. <a href="https://www.texastribune.org/2026/01/09/texas-voter-roll-trump-administration-justice-department-democrats-dnc/?utm_source=thetexastribune.beehiiv.com&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=top-story-texas-hands-over-complete-list-of-registered-voters-to-trump-administration&_bhlid=ec585435991539f039cc7650aa22e26141db19fe" target="_blank">TX, which does not register by party, has handed over its full voter rolls to the feds, as per law. </a>Ooh, and <a href="https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2026/01/08/congress/julia-brownley-california-retiring-00716931?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter" target="_blank">another D is leaving the house</a>, making the number Rs -30, Ds -24 and growing.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Here is another reason Congress's approval is swirling the toilet bowl. <a href="https://amgreatness.com/2026/01/09/morning-greatness-house-passes-three-year-extension-of-enhanced-obamacare-subsidies/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=" target="_blank">When they do act, they do incredibly stupid stuff like extend Obamacare rather than kill that, er, witch.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>7) There are Kollyfornia calls <a href="https://100percentfedup.com/president-trump-federalize-partslifornia/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">for Trump to federalize via emergency declaration Palisades where ZERO homebuilding has started after the fire a year ago.</a> It is increasingly looking like blue states want to be seen as the Confederacy after Appomattox and want to be governed in "military districts."</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Typical Trumpian carrot and stick. First he threatened Raytheon to get on board, that it was too slow and not delivering good enough stuff, then he <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory/trump-shook-defense-stocks-week-129030516" target="_blank">announced a $1.5 trillion defense budget that sent defense stocks flying.</a> Certain panic spoogenuggets very distraught.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) Fat Fani Willis <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/fani-willis-failed-lawfare-against-trump-might-cost-her-a-fortune?utm_source=theblaze-breaking&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Morning%20Trending&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%20TheBlaze%20Breaking%20News&tpcc=email-breaking" target="_blank">may be on the hook for millions in President Trump's legal fees. </a>There's another room in the Trump Presidential Library.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) Looks like the <a href="https://www.axios.com/2026/01/09/trump-mtg-restaurant-protest-secret-service" target="_blank">unhinged MTG may have tipped off protesters about Trump's visit to a restaurant, creating a security incident.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>11) U-Haul records show it's not just millionaires leaving Kollyfornia.<a href="https://hotair.com/john-s-2/2026/01/08/its-not-just-billionaires-leaving-california-n3810639" target="_blank"> <i><strong>It's the highest gap between leavers and arrivals in any state in the Union.</strong></i></a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>12) The ICE agent who in self defense fired at a nutjob MN driver who tried to run him over <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/how-the-minneapolis-ice-agent-who-fired-in-self-defense-was-nearly-killed-by-an-illegal-alien-child-rapist-in-june?utm_source=theblaze-breaking&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=BREAKING&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%20On%20Any%20Current%20Sending%20List&tpcc=email-breaking" target="_blank">was nearly killed in June by an illegal alien invader rapist.</a> President Trump <a href="https://protrumpnews.com/trump-speaks-out-on-ice-shooting-says-agent-is-now-recovering-in-the-hospital/" target="_blank">spoke to the officer</a>, who is recovering in the hospital.</p><p><br /> </p><p>13) If we have to bankrupt these jerkweeds, so be it. <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/us-to-pull-160-million-from-california-over-licenses-for-foreign-truck-drivers-5967742?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">Department of Transpo has pulled $160 million from Kollyfornia</a> for their practice of handing drivers' licenses to illegal piddledippers.</p><p><br /> </p><p>14) <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/hospitality/hilton-removes-hotel-from-its-system-after-it-refuses-service-to-ice-agents-14ecccbf?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Hilton Hotels gave the boot to a Hampton Inn member hotel that refused reservations for ICE in Minny.</a> Just a few days ago, Jeff Childers at "Coffee and Covid" reminded us (in the context of DEI at that time) that all invoices to the feds are basically a statement of compliance. Meaning, Hilton would have risked ALL its fed contracts if it allowed this goofball hotelier to stand.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ECONOMIC NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>15) The U.S. <a href="https://wolfstreet.com/2026/01/08/trade-deficit-drops-to-least-terrible-level-since-2009-upon-which-atlanta-fed-gdpnow-doubles-q4-gdp-forecast-to-5-4/" target="_blank">trade deficit dropped to the lowest level in years, decreasing by $19 billion and prompting the Atlanta fed forecast 5.4% growth</a> for the 4h quarter of last year. Imports DECLINED 9% exports ROSE 6%.</p><p><br /> </p><p>16) According to ADP, <a href="https://wolfstreet.com/2026/01/07/adp-employment-report-41000-mostly-at-medium-size-companies-small-companies-had-first-payroll-gain-in-5-months/" target="_blank">the increase in 41,000 jobs last month came mostly with mid-sized employers and saw small companies have their first payroll gain in five months.</a> Here's the really important number: <a href="https://x.com/RealEJAntoni/status/2009632107115786341" target="_blank">total employment increased to 232 </a>million. Native born Americans <a href="https://x.com/i/status/2009626522857157046" target="_blank">gained over 2 million jobs in 2025, foreign born lost over 660,000</a>. Good trend. Oh, and inflation fell to a stunning 1.9%.</p><p><br /> </p><p>17) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-to-order-purchase-of-200-billion-in-mortgage-bonds-5968261?utm_source=morningbriefnoe&src_src=morningbriefnoe&utm_campaign=mb-2026-01-09&src_cmp=mb-2026-01-09&utm_medium=email&est=O7vVhAdxPcVGfU0SWz%2ByokDsIZ9QFb2p27G2DDWaiDCdjXONJ0uEPztLfqc%2F%2Bzapyk4G9SYIXg0%3D" target="_blank">Trump has announced the federal government will buy $200 billion in mortgage bonds by the Federal Home Financing Agency</a> to bring down mortgage costs. This came a day after <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-says-us-will-ban-large-investors-from-buying-single-family-homes-5967497" target="_blank">he issued an executive order banning "institutional" investors from buying up housing</a>. Dunno. Government activism like this rarely works, and those "institutional investors" make up a tiny % of all home mortgages. If you're a free marketeer, this isn't good news. But as in so many areas, Trump sees the gubment as flat broken, and is going to fix things regardless of which branch does it. Do you really think Congress could get off its partisan ass and do this?</p><p><br /> </p><p>18) Anyone who has followed me knows I've been beating the drums for any and all types of power for Big Data/AI, which is coming. <a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/meta-unveils-sweeping-nuclear-power-plan-to-fuel-its-ai-ambitions-65c56aac?mod=energy-oil_news_article_pos2&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Now Meta ("Meta" means death in Hebrew) is launching a "sweeping" campaign for nuke powe</a>r.

      <itunes:summary>Fraud investigations tied to pandemic and state programs are expanding across multiple blue states, with allegations of intimidation against whistleblowers and audits uncovering billions in missing funds, prompting tighter federal control, halted transfers, subpoenas, and a new fraud-focused assistant AG positioned near the White House. Immigration enforcement is escalating through armed incidents, National Guard involvement, corporate pressure to comply with federal law, and funding cuts to resistant states, while voter registration trends, congressional seat changes, and mass departures from California signal a rightward political shift.

      <itunes:subtitle>Fraud investigations tied to pandemic and state programs are expanding across multiple blue states, with allegations of intimidation against whistleblowers and audits uncovering billions in missing funds, prompting tighter federal control, halted transfers, subpoenas, and a new fraud-focused assistant AG positioned near the White House. Immigration enforcement is escalating through armed incidents, National Guard involvement, corporate pressure to comply with federal law, and funding cuts to resistant states, while voter registration trends, congressional seat changes, and mass departures from California signal a rightward political shift.

      <title>Today&apos;s News, January 6-7, 2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) I told you that the feds were not even getting warmed up yet with the Skinny Minny fraud, that <i><strong>ultimately nearly every single fed agency will be involved in prosecuting these rectalsnappers</strong></i>. So here it comes. <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/immigration-agents-surge-into-minneapolis-in-largest-operation-ever-5967136?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2026-01-07&src_cmp=mb-2026-01-07&utm_medium=email&est=aK8YrGkXj1gro7LeT06OfmnN7HtOI7v7bRVjCMjwjswkhj01k%2F8XTdzhjic2EL8j%2FqFjkQk%3D" target="_blank">Trump orders the largest ever immigration enforcement effort in MN. As the song goes</a>, "Here Comes the Boom." Just one more example: <a href="https://justthenews.com/government/security/wedfeds-probing-hundreds-millions-suspected-somali-cash-luggage-leaving?utm_source=daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter" target="_blank">Feds are probing hundreds of millions in cash in luggage leaving the Mogadishu, er, Minneapolis airport.</a> Trump could probably get all this done quicker by making a deal with the Cincinnati Bengals to trade Joe Burrow for 80,000 Somalis to be ushered back to their home stadium in Africa. I'm sure he can come up with a lucrative inducement for the Bengals. And how about this side effect: With Maduro out---as someone who was "threatening them"---<a href="https://www.axios.com/2026/01/06/venezuelan-immigrants-tps-maduro-deportations" target="_blank">up to 600,000 Venezuelan amnesty types no longer have a case and must go home</a>. And MORE bad news, again confirming what I said about the all-expansive nature of these investigations, <a href="https://x.com/LouRaguse/status/2008682496267809051" target="_blank">as state addiction and mental health facilities are just the latest fraud vehicles there.</a> Trump is going after Kollyfornia soon, and right on cue,<a href="https://www.abc10.com/article/news/local/california/tracking-state-spending-homelessness-housing/103-31487e1c-8519-456b-b64f-a3f41e167d0c" target="_blank"> Gruesome vetoed a bill that would track state spending on homelessness and housing. Gee</a>, why? Unless, maybe Old Oleaginous One knows that that spending is the center of state fraud. And here is a piece by the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/07/opinion/minnesota-welfare-fraud-democrats.html?searchResultPosition=9" target="_blank">urinal lickers at the <i>Slimes</i></a> saying, "Wait a minute. You can't run on affordability and have fraud out there, cuz people will blame DemoKKKrat fraudsters for the lack of affordability." Bingo.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Not only did markets rise on the news of Maduro's unfortunate incarceration, but the <a href="https://fortune.com/2026/01/05/big-short-investor-michael-burry-venezuela-maduro-russian-oil-less-important/" target="_blank">arrest was bad news for the Russkies.</a> Or so says the "Big Short's" Michael Burry.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Those of you who read this know I told you about this Monday, that among all the other things that great Maduro raid accomplished was that it showed Russkie and ChiCom tech is poopiecaca. The USN went through those defenses like tissue paper, and <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/article/how-chinese-made-radar-defense-systems-failed-in-venezuela-5966659?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2026-01-07&src_cmp=mb-2026-01-07&utm_medium=email&est=4fUZgwhg%2FtPlj1bqk%2FghO9dMnZshEtJtgVysHU8Mi9iXmO0AaaRl3%2Fw68rr0dxMC7ezqznE%3D" target="_blank">now other people are realizing it. </a>Oh and here's another spinoff of the raid: <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/cubas-security-state-colonization-americas-proven-delta-force-killing-32-intel-agents?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6844" target="_blank">the "bodyguards" who were killed were all Cubanos. </a>Conservatives have said for decades that Cuba was the <a href="https://www.wildworldofpolitics.com/blog/hashtags/1" target="_blank">#1</a> source of instability in Latin America and this further confirms. And, as a bonus, the<a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us/zohran-mamdani-roasted-on-social-media-for-saying-i-was-briefed-on-us-military-capture-of-maduro-ego-is-unmatched/articleshow/126355781.cms" target="_blank"> Amazing Zohran was outed when he said he was "briefed" on Maduro's capture.</a> Nope. Doesn't even hold a security clearance, nor will he.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) The<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/gov-tim-walz-reportedly-planning-major-announcement-political-career?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6838" target="_blank"> Prancing Gheyboy Tampon Timmy can run</a>---er, not run in this case (for another term)---but he can't hide. The Fed Fraudmobile is setting its GPS for him right now. Or, as Jeff Childers puts it, <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/ding-dong-tuesday-january-6-2026?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=183669223&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">"Tim Walz, the vice presidential candidate one year ago, is now a political corpse, a stain on the party, and a spent force."</a> <a href="https://www.captaink.us/p/timothy-j-walz-a-political-obituary?utm_campaign=email-half-post&r=dx45b&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Seth Keshel </a>explains how Tampon Timmy did everything he could to expand election fraud in MN, and that there really is a red wave there if you can control the fraud. But to return to Jeff Childers for a moment: he argues that Team Trump had all the dirt on Tampon in the 2024 election but held fire. Well, based on the Maduro raid (and the previous Iran raid), "Silent" Susie Wiles has her troops moving swiftly but silently, almost as though the new Janissaries had their tongues, not their other members, removed. Meanwhile, Childers argues that this is typical prosecutor approach: go after the weakest member first (MN) then turn your guns on the Big Plate Full of Scabs, Kollyfornia, which is rife with fraud. And, right on cue,<a href="https://www.axios.com/2026/01/07/trump-child-care-states-funding" target="_blank"> five DemoKKKrat states have been told their child care funds are frozen. </a>It is truly amazing that after 10 years Trump can still play these people like Tom Brady looking off a free safety. He says "Greenland" and then freezes stuff. Do you get the irony?</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/06/opinion/trump-presidential-power-nonprofits-ngos.html" target="_blank">Toddling Tommy Edsall at the <i>New York Slimes</i></a> is starting to get it. They are skeeered, very skeered, seeing that in fact the Trump revolution is now affecting culture.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) <a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/01/developing-lt-michael-byrd-who-shot-ashli-babbitt/" target="_blank">Michael ("Granny Killer") Byrd, the officer who killed unarmed Ashli Babbitt on Patriot Day</a> (J6) 2020, is revealed to be running an unaccredited daycare in MD and has pocketed up to $190 million in HHS funds. Sounds to me like he needs to be Maduro's bunk mate. Speaking of people who should be Maduro's bunk mates, the <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2026/01/05/politics/pentagon-cuts-mark-kellys-retirement-pay-punishment" target="_blank">Pentagon DEMOTED U.S. Sen. Mark Kelly (what a humiliation) and reduced his retirement pay</a> for his "don't obey legal orders" video. This saguaroschlub is fortunate not to get the Henry Wirtz treatment.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) GOP Congressman from Kollyfornia, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/gop-rep-doug-lamalfa-dies-at-65-post-5966834?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2026-01-06-1&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2026-01-06-1&utm_medium=email&est=PLXNK0O4Q8OYxHkB6ZEx2uckAPlWfzDXah55ocasbthWpyZYKg0XPVKMpsIGXb%2FOHjgKgVzb" target="_blank">Doug LaMalfa, dead at age 65.</a> Along with MTG's selfish departure, this leaves the GOP majority in the House at one. There are still four seats unfilled.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Voter registration update from <a href="https://x.com/PpollingNumbers/status/2008210553286631763?s=20" target="_blank">PA, where both parties lost . . . but Ds lost 13,000 MORE than Rs</a>. Slowly PA is following NC out of DemoKKKrat hands and should be a red state by registration before the 2028 election.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) Was it really that long ago? On Monday I had a story that the Amazing Zohran was going to <i>sell</i> public buildings to developers to get the cost of housing down. Not so fast, says one of his malevolent walking colonoscopies.<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/mamdanis-nyt-tenant-czar-called-seize-private-property-calls-home-ownership-white?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6838" target="_blank"> She says private home ownership is "white supremacy."</a> This is going to be fun to watch. Amazing Zohran <i>knows</i> that traditional Marxist approaches to housing will not lower prices anywhere, especially in New Kabul (NYC). But his minions are full-fledged Leninistas and so we'll see if he can control them long enough to pretend to be doing something. My guess is he will be forced to split the baby, achieving nothing good for New Yorkers while still appearing to the rest of the country to be a radical lunatic.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) This is so wonderful I'd like to post it twice:<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/05/business/media/corporation-for-public-broadcasting.html" target="_blank"> the Corporation for Pubic, er, Public Broadcasting has shut down. </a>This is the FOURTH agency/bureau that Trump has closed in a year, and we haven't even completely shut down DoED yet. Reagan only managed to close one small agency, the Civilian Aviation Board, in 8 years..</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) And since we're skipping down memory lane, remember the SpewMore Shutdown and how I said Trump won? Yep. <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/democrat-government-shutdown-funding-bill-deadline-777ad7a2" target="_blank">More confirmation as DemoKKKrats don't want anything to do with a new shutdown.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>12) <a href="https://justthenews.com/government/security/former-cia-agent-aldrich-ames-who-spied-russia-dies-prison-84-years-old" target="_blank">Former CIA agent Aldrich Ames,</a> who spied for the Soviets, dies in prison at 84.</p><p><br /> </p><p>13) So I'm saying this again. <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/05/business/media/corporation-for-public-broadcasting.html" target="_blank">The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, better known as the "Voice of Lenin," has shut down</a> cuz Trump yanked their money.</p><p><br /> </p><p>14) Our friends at the <a href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/cynicism-about-government-is-hard?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=239058&post_id=183682604&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">"Liberal Patriot" for a second column in a row are worried about "cynicism" and government</a>. It's not exactly as they put it. While it is true that once elected either party faces a certain amount of "What have you done for me lately," not matter how successful they are at implementing policies. But Trump isn't paying attention to that. He continues to move at light speed, on to the next change, and the next. And those pesky voter registrations continue to confirm that MAGA is NOT breaking up in any way shape or form. <a href="https://x.com/MurphyAJC/status/2008733676318978082" target="_blank">Indeed, the GOP bounced back in GA with another special election victory.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>15) Like clockwork,<a href="https://wltreport.com/2026/01/05/just-another-democrat-state-representative-indicted-fraud/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank"> another state DemoKKKrat representative as been indicted for fraud.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>16) This merely makes it official: <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/berenson-just-how-insane-did-democrats-become-immigration?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6838" target="_blank">the DemoKKKrats have dropped all mention of immigration from their website.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>N CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>17) <a href="https://christopherrufo.com/p/the-twilight-of-the-dissident-right?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1248321&post_id=183700764&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Christopher Rufo</a> has a good column here with a lot of truth.

Let me tell you my Hilton story: in the late 1980s we'd fly from Dayton to AZ to see my parents. My son was just crawling around then. We decided, because of the extremely long flight, to break it up a little, drive to Indianapolis (saving an hour, plus the drive time) and stay at the Indy Airport Hilton. When we went into the room, we saw what appeared to be blood on the curtains. Then my son, crawling around, pulled something from under the bed. It looked like a tennis ball---but it was a fuzzy apple. When I wrote the Hilton manager to complain, he wrote back apologizing and offering . . . a free night's stay.</p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_c49ba1979bdf44e396cfaba48a4c8281~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_700,h_389,al_c,lg_1,q_80,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_c49ba1979bdf44e396cfaba48a4c8281~mv2.jpg" alt="" /><p><br /> </p><p>21) Looks like the chick running Cracker Barrel realized there is a market, and it works.<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/food-drink/cracker-barrel-caves-customer-pressure-brings-back-menu-favorites-nationwide" target="_blank"> Now the restaurant is restoring many menu favorites</a> she discarded in favor of tofu and crickets.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>22) David Blackmon, the Rush Limbaugh of Energy, <a href="https://blackmon.substack.com/p/5-big-energy-stories-162026-beware?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=712558&post_id=183662778&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">argues that the "climate change" Hoax News cult is dramatically inflating the cost of getting Venezuela's oil back to 100%. </a>Probably will only cost 25-30% of what some of the anti-oil "experts" are saying.</p><p><br /> </p><p>23) <a href="https://x.com/disclosetv/status/2008618653500273072" target="_blank">Mediocre Britain and the perpetually-surrendering France say they will oppose any effort by the U.S. to take Greenland</a>.

I also interviewed him for my <i>Reagan: The American President</i>. He told me a story about his enrollment at Arizona State. He had been a good QB at Scottsdale's Judson High School, and was offered a scholarship to ASU to play football. When Ron saw it, he told him, "We're not going to accept this. I can pay for your education." What RR didn't realize was that essentially kicked Michael off the football team, because there was only room for scholarship players.</p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_f02db3d385cb4b0c8ba7fee269efd9c9~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_273,h_410,al_c,lg_1,q_80,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_f02db3d385cb4b0c8ba7fee269efd9c9~mv2.jpg" alt="" /><p><br /> </p><p>26) The Baltimore Ravens fired <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/47531700/baltimore-ravens-fire-coach-john-harbaugh-whats-next-faq" target="_blank">Super Bowl winning coach Jim Harbaugh after the Ravens failed to make the playoffs</a>.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) I told you that the feds were not even getting warmed up yet with the Skinny Minny fraud, that <i><strong>ultimately nearly every single fed agency will be involved in prosecuting these rectalsnappers</strong></i>. So here it comes. <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/immigration-agents-surge-into-minneapolis-in-largest-operation-ever-5967136?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2026-01-07&src_cmp=mb-2026-01-07&utm_medium=email&est=aK8YrGkXj1gro7LeT06OfmnN7HtOI7v7bRVjCMjwjswkhj01k%2F8XTdzhjic2EL8j%2FqFjkQk%3D" target="_blank">Trump orders the largest ever immigration enforcement effort in MN. As the song goes</a>, "Here Comes the Boom." Just one more example: <a href="https://justthenews.com/government/security/wedfeds-probing-hundreds-millions-suspected-somali-cash-luggage-leaving?utm_source=daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter" target="_blank">Feds are probing hundreds of millions in cash in luggage leaving the Mogadishu, er, Minneapolis airport.</a> Trump could probably get all this done quicker by making a deal with the Cincinnati Bengals to trade Joe Burrow for 80,000 Somalis to be ushered back to their home stadium in Africa. I'm sure he can come up with a lucrative inducement for the Bengals. And how about this side effect: With Maduro out---as someone who was "threatening them"---<a href="https://www.axios.com/2026/01/06/venezuelan-immigrants-tps-maduro-deportations" target="_blank">up to 600,000 Venezuelan amnesty types no longer have a case and must go home</a>. And MORE bad news, again confirming what I said about the all-expansive nature of these investigations, <a href="https://x.com/LouRaguse/status/2008682496267809051" target="_blank">as state addiction and mental health facilities are just the latest fraud vehicles there.</a> Trump is going after Kollyfornia soon, and right on cue,<a href="https://www.abc10.com/article/news/local/california/tracking-state-spending-homelessness-housing/103-31487e1c-8519-456b-b64f-a3f41e167d0c" target="_blank"> Gruesome vetoed a bill that would track state spending on homelessness and housing. Gee</a>, why? Unless, maybe Old Oleaginous One knows that that spending is the center of state fraud. And here is a piece by the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/07/opinion/minnesota-welfare-fraud-democrats.html?searchResultPosition=9" target="_blank">urinal lickers at the <i>Slimes</i></a> saying, "Wait a minute. You can't run on affordability and have fraud out there, cuz people will blame DemoKKKrat fraudsters for the lack of affordability." Bingo.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Not only did markets rise on the news of Maduro's unfortunate incarceration, but the <a href="https://fortune.com/2026/01/05/big-short-investor-michael-burry-venezuela-maduro-russian-oil-less-important/" target="_blank">arrest was bad news for the Russkies.</a> Or so says the "Big Short's" Michael Burry.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Those of you who read this know I told you about this Monday, that among all the other things that great Maduro raid accomplished was that it showed Russkie and ChiCom tech is poopiecaca. The USN went through those defenses like tissue paper, and <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/article/how-chinese-made-radar-defense-systems-failed-in-venezuela-5966659?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2026-01-07&src_cmp=mb-2026-01-07&utm_medium=email&est=4fUZgwhg%2FtPlj1bqk%2FghO9dMnZshEtJtgVysHU8Mi9iXmO0AaaRl3%2Fw68rr0dxMC7ezqznE%3D" target="_blank">now other people are realizing it. </a>Oh and here's another spinoff of the raid: <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/cubas-security-state-colonization-americas-proven-delta-force-killing-32-intel-agents?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6844" target="_blank">the "bodyguards" who were killed were all Cubanos. </a>Conservatives have said for decades that Cuba was the <a href="https://www.wildworldofpolitics.com/blog/hashtags/1" target="_blank">#1</a> source of instability in Latin America and this further confirms. And, as a bonus, the<a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us/zohran-mamdani-roasted-on-social-media-for-saying-i-was-briefed-on-us-military-capture-of-maduro-ego-is-unmatched/articleshow/126355781.cms" target="_blank"> Amazing Zohran was outed when he said he was "briefed" on Maduro's capture.</a> Nope. Doesn't even hold a security clearance, nor will he.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) The<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/gov-tim-walz-reportedly-planning-major-announcement-political-career?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6838" target="_blank"> Prancing Gheyboy Tampon Timmy can run</a>---er, not run in this case (for another term)---but he can't hide. The Fed Fraudmobile is setting its GPS for him right now. Or, as Jeff Childers puts it, <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/ding-dong-tuesday-january-6-2026?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=183669223&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">"Tim Walz, the vice presidential candidate one year ago, is now a political corpse, a stain on the party, and a spent force."</a> <a href="https://www.captaink.us/p/timothy-j-walz-a-political-obituary?utm_campaign=email-half-post&r=dx45b&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Seth Keshel </a>explains how Tampon Timmy did everything he could to expand election fraud in MN, and that there really is a red wave there if you can control the fraud. But to return to Jeff Childers for a moment: he argues that Team Trump had all the dirt on Tampon in the 2024 election but held fire. Well, based on the Maduro raid (and the previous Iran raid), "Silent" Susie Wiles has her troops moving swiftly but silently, almost as though the new Janissaries had their tongues, not their other members, removed. Meanwhile, Childers argues that this is typical prosecutor approach: go after the weakest member first (MN) then turn your guns on the Big Plate Full of Scabs, Kollyfornia, which is rife with fraud. And, right on cue,<a href="https://www.axios.com/2026/01/07/trump-child-care-states-funding" target="_blank"> five DemoKKKrat states have been told their child care funds are frozen. </a>It is truly amazing that after 10 years Trump can still play these people like Tom Brady looking off a free safety. He says "Greenland" and then freezes stuff. Do you get the irony?</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/06/opinion/trump-presidential-power-nonprofits-ngos.html" target="_blank">Toddling Tommy Edsall at the <i>New York Slimes</i></a> is starting to get it. They are skeeered, very skeered, seeing that in fact the Trump revolution is now affecting culture.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) <a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/01/developing-lt-michael-byrd-who-shot-ashli-babbitt/" target="_blank">Michael ("Granny Killer") Byrd, the officer who killed unarmed Ashli Babbitt on Patriot Day</a> (J6) 2020, is revealed to be running an unaccredited daycare in MD and has pocketed up to $190 million in HHS funds. Sounds to me like he needs to be Maduro's bunk mate. Speaking of people who should be Maduro's bunk mates, the <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2026/01/05/politics/pentagon-cuts-mark-kellys-retirement-pay-punishment" target="_blank">Pentagon DEMOTED U.S. Sen. Mark Kelly (what a humiliation) and reduced his retirement pay</a> for his "don't obey legal orders" video. This saguaroschlub is fortunate not to get the Henry Wirtz treatment.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) GOP Congressman from Kollyfornia, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/gop-rep-doug-lamalfa-dies-at-65-post-5966834?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2026-01-06-1&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2026-01-06-1&utm_medium=email&est=PLXNK0O4Q8OYxHkB6ZEx2uckAPlWfzDXah55ocasbthWpyZYKg0XPVKMpsIGXb%2FOHjgKgVzb" target="_blank">Doug LaMalfa, dead at age 65.</a> Along with MTG's selfish departure, this leaves the GOP majority in the House at one. There are still four seats unfilled.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Voter registration update from <a href="https://x.com/PpollingNumbers/status/2008210553286631763?s=20" target="_blank">PA, where both parties lost . . . but Ds lost 13,000 MORE than Rs</a>. Slowly PA is following NC out of DemoKKKrat hands and should be a red state by registration before the 2028 election.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) Was it really that long ago? On Monday I had a story that the Amazing Zohran was going to <i>sell</i> public buildings to developers to get the cost of housing down. Not so fast, says one of his malevolent walking colonoscopies.<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/mamdanis-nyt-tenant-czar-called-seize-private-property-calls-home-ownership-white?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6838" target="_blank"> She says private home ownership is "white supremacy."</a> This is going to be fun to watch. Amazing Zohran <i>knows</i> that traditional Marxist approaches to housing will not lower prices anywhere, especially in New Kabul (NYC). But his minions are full-fledged Leninistas and so we'll see if he can control them long enough to pretend to be doing something. My guess is he will be forced to split the baby, achieving nothing good for New Yorkers while still appearing to the rest of the country to be a radical lunatic.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) This is so wonderful I'd like to post it twice:<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/05/business/media/corporation-for-public-broadcasting.html" target="_blank"> the Corporation for Pubic, er, Public Broadcasting has shut down. </a>This is the FOURTH agency/bureau that Trump has closed in a year, and we haven't even completely shut down DoED yet. Reagan only managed to close one small agency, the Civilian Aviation Board, in 8 years..</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) And since we're skipping down memory lane, remember the SpewMore Shutdown and how I said Trump won? Yep. <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/democrat-government-shutdown-funding-bill-deadline-777ad7a2" target="_blank">More confirmation as DemoKKKrats don't want anything to do with a new shutdown.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>12) <a href="https://justthenews.com/government/security/former-cia-agent-aldrich-ames-who-spied-russia-dies-prison-84-years-old" target="_blank">Former CIA agent Aldrich Ames,</a> who spied for the Soviets, dies in prison at 84.</p><p><br /> </p><p>13) So I'm saying this again. <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/05/business/media/corporation-for-public-broadcasting.html" target="_blank">The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, better known as the "Voice of Lenin," has shut down</a> cuz Trump yanked their money.</p><p><br /> </p><p>14) Our friends at the <a href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/cynicism-about-government-is-hard?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=239058&post_id=183682604&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">"Liberal Patriot" for a second column in a row are worried about "cynicism" and government</a>. It's not exactly as they put it. While it is true that once elected either party faces a certain amount of "What have you done for me lately," not matter how successful they are at implementing policies. But Trump isn't paying attention to that. He continues to move at light speed, on to the next change, and the next. And those pesky voter registrations continue to confirm that MAGA is NOT breaking up in any way shape or form. <a href="https://x.com/MurphyAJC/status/2008733676318978082" target="_blank">Indeed, the GOP bounced back in GA with another special election victory.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>15) Like clockwork,<a href="https://wltreport.com/2026/01/05/just-another-democrat-state-representative-indicted-fraud/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank"> another state DemoKKKrat representative as been indicted for fraud.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>16) This merely makes it official: <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/berenson-just-how-insane-did-democrats-become-immigration?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6838" target="_blank">the DemoKKKrats have dropped all mention of immigration from their website.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>N CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>17) <a href="https://christopherrufo.com/p/the-twilight-of-the-dissident-right?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1248321&post_id=183700764&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Christopher Rufo</a> has a good column here with a lot of truth.

Let me tell you my Hilton story: in the late 1980s we'd fly from Dayton to AZ to see my parents. My son was just crawling around then. We decided, because of the extremely long flight, to break it up a little, drive to Indianapolis (saving an hour, plus the drive time) and stay at the Indy Airport Hilton. When we went into the room, we saw what appeared to be blood on the curtains. Then my son, crawling around, pulled something from under the bed. It looked like a tennis ball---but it was a fuzzy apple. When I wrote the Hilton manager to complain, he wrote back apologizing and offering . . . a free night's stay.</p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_c49ba1979bdf44e396cfaba48a4c8281~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_700,h_389,al_c,lg_1,q_80,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_c49ba1979bdf44e396cfaba48a4c8281~mv2.jpg" alt="" /><p><br /> </p><p>21) Looks like the chick running Cracker Barrel realized there is a market, and it works.<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/food-drink/cracker-barrel-caves-customer-pressure-brings-back-menu-favorites-nationwide" target="_blank"> Now the restaurant is restoring many menu favorites</a> she discarded in favor of tofu and crickets.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>22) David Blackmon, the Rush Limbaugh of Energy, <a href="https://blackmon.substack.com/p/5-big-energy-stories-162026-beware?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=712558&post_id=183662778&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">argues that the "climate change" Hoax News cult is dramatically inflating the cost of getting Venezuela's oil back to 100%. </a>Probably will only cost 25-30% of what some of the anti-oil "experts" are saying.</p><p><br /> </p><p>23) <a href="https://x.com/disclosetv/status/2008618653500273072" target="_blank">Mediocre Britain and the perpetually-surrendering France say they will oppose any effort by the U.S. to take Greenland</a>.

Agencies are closing offices, voter registrations are shifting toward Republicans, and several public figures are facing legal or ethics problems. Stock indexes hit highs, companies announced leadership changes, hotels and travel saw movement, and debates continue over education and culture. International energy developments, geopolitical tensions, notable deaths, sports changes, and public health updates rounded out the news, with a lighter story about wildlife release at the end.</itunes:subtitle>

      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) The big news, which came and went faster than a bean burrito in front of Rosie O'Donnell, is that the Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro, whose election was as suspect as that of Rutabaga, was arrested and teleported out of Venezuela in a perfect operation that came through like clockwork prior to digitization. U.S. forces took out anti-air stations, dropped in some special operators, killed a few bodyguards, and heisted the <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/maduro-and-his-wife-indicted-in-us-federal-court-5965616?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2026-01-03-1&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2026-01-03-1&utm_medium=email&est=qvKfY9tJqb3GsBv2X52kWPYTSUU2%2BJihttDDKLapkES8shED3%2Bd3GfKfEmaNT7R0p3GqA92r" target="_blank">strongman right out of his presidential palace and to a New York court </a>where he and his lovely wife were indicted on more charges than P. Diddy. He ain't getting out of this, though he may rat on a number of U.S. pols to keep him out of gen pop at Soledad. This operation was planned for weeks, just awaiting as Trump said, the right time. It occurred without a single leak. I must now give Susie Wiles the nickname "Silent Susie," as this is the second very big op (remember Iran's nukes?) that came off without a hitch and without a leak. Now, pump this into your brain and marinate on it: the U.S. has now carried out two operations against enemy targets heavily protected by Russian (and, one would assume, some ChiCom defense systems, disabled them like Harry Bosch picking a lock, and didn't suffer a single enemy hit. What do you think is going on within the ChicCom and Russkie militaries right now? "For sale: 200 anti-aircraft systems, never used, badly abused." Moreover, the military accompanied DOJ officials, who did the actual arrest. Remember ol' Pineapple Face, Panama's Manuel Noriega? Yeah, took weeks to get him. And<a href="https://x.com/FireNewz/status/2007811054982607228" target="_blank"> now Venezuela's top intel officer wants asylum here and is willing to "name names.</a>" Hmm. Do any of those names have a "D" after them? Oh, there is not "MAGA fracture" over Venezuela. <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/doctrines-and-fractures-monday-january?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=183556502&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">As Jeff Chliders points out, this is 100% in the Trump Strategic Doctrine released late last yea</a>r. This is yet another attempt by the Hoax News to create some rift in MAGA.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Congrats to Pam Bondi and the Punisher, Pete Hegseth. You can see why they really didn't want him as SecWar. Trump's ability to pull off these incredible surgical strikes without long drawn-out wars has the GOP isolationist wing panicking, for what is there to complain about if we get our foreign policy goals met at virtually no cost? Here is Michael Waller's <a href="https://amgreatness.com/2026/01/04/nine-reasons-why-trumps-venezuela-operation-is-great-for-america/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=" target="_blank">"Nine Reasons Why Trump's Venezuelan operation is Great for America."</a> Meanwhile, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/world/maria-corina-machado-emerges-top-potential-successor-after-maduros-fall" target="_blank">opposition candidate Maria Machado is expected to assume control of the government</a>, while the new <a href="https://www.axios.com/2026/01/04/trump-venezuela-delcy-rodriguez-maduro-atlantic-interview" target="_blank">interim leader promised to work with the USA.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Oh, I guess it wasn't about the oil after all. <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/energy-oil/why-oil-prices-are-barely-moving-after-the-venezuelan-incursion-f146ad11?mod=energy-oil_news_article_pos2&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Oil futures barely moved.</a> Chevron shares<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2026/01/05/oil-chevron-exxon-shares-in-focus-after-us-intervention-in-venezuela.html?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> moved a little</a>, likely because Chevron and Exxon will end up fixing the dilapidated Venuzuelan facilities.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Meanwhile, across the world in Iran, protesters are filling the streets. Many women are protesting the hijabi-beebees, but it remains to be seen if they can force the Ayatollahs of RockandRolla out. <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-vows-to-intervene-if-iran-kills-protesters-5965225?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2026-01-03&src_cmp=mb-2026-01-03&utm_medium=email&est=Bj0Pic6PgLE4S9G0wK%2Fp5fyFqsPzhx9lPNkQe5zHGEUme%2BtfdZezpJuSlUbZA2BdGP1Qkuc%3D" target="_blank">Trump has vowed action if any protesters are killed.</a> Wouldn't it be astounding if two of the worst regimes in the world were toppled without violence in less than a month?</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) How does this play politically? <a href="https://www.axios.com/2026/01/04/maduro-venezuela-democrats-trump-congress" target="_blank">DemoKKKrats say their party's response was "weak." </a>Except what response can you have when a perfect operation snags an international criminal, frees millions of people, and moves a country closer into the U.S. orbit?</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Lib fungalrabbits are really having a bad week. <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/federal-appeals-court-strikes-down-california-ban-on-open-carry-of-firearms-5965490?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2026-01-03&src_cmp=mb-2026-01-03&utm_medium=email&est=AFWz0c9dXYD2i5EDRq9es2uLEq73opun4AuJZBffcwtYBWZrW2dMFQBMuYRgk481nn5T1tw%3D" target="_blank">A federal judge nixed Kollyfornia's law against open carry of weapons</a>. Maybe next they'll eliminate open carry of Coors Light?</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Meanwhile, the <a href="https://www.nbcnewyork.com/new-york-city/zohran-mamdani-housing-executive-orders/6437886/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Amazing Zohran took office and dove right into lowering housing costs.</a> How did he do that? As Jeff Childers noted in his "Coffee and Covid" for Saturday, <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/lessons-leared-saturday-january-3?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=183347476&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">he did so by applying old fashioned supply side economics. He is <i>selling public buildings to private developers</i></a>. Say what?? Is this the "warmth of collectivism" he referred to? I don't know if it will work or not---it all depends on what the private developers do with the properties---but if in fact they build housing and if prices come down, hold the applause. This is Bill Clinton 101. Try to look like a thoughtful moderate before dropping the Islamofascist boom. My guess is he will, if this works, enjoy great credit for Ronald Reagan-type policies so he can look clean and articulate to the American public for his 2028 White House run. And of course the Hoax News media didn't criticism him for doing a 180 on his promises. Oh no. He is "building" on his promises. See how that works? And how about his promise to make things more affordable? He just <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/pre-viral/2026/01/04/new-york-city-raises-subway-bus-fares-3/" target="_blank">raised bus and subway fares</a>. What? I thought those were going to be free? Maybe that's became New Kabul (NYC)<a href="https://nypost.com/2026/01/04/us-news/nyc-still-hasnt-returned-to-pre-pandemic-tourism-numbers-falling-short-by-millions-of-visitors-in-2025-report/" target="_blank"> still hasn't returned to pre-pandemic tourism numbers</a>. And it won't under Amazing Zohran. Who wants to visit Kabul?</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Remember last Wed. when I told you the Skinny Minny fraud is different because this time the whole government, nearly every agency, is involved in investigating? Now the <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/sba-suspends-nearly-7000-minnesota-borrowers-over-suspected-400m-pandemic-loan-fraud" target="_blank">Small Business Administration just suspended over 7,000 Minny borrowers over China Virus loan fraud.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>9) And <a href="https://shipwreckedcrew.substack.com/p/covid-fraud-in-california-makes-the?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=284783&post_id=181730276&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Shipwreckedcrew argues that the China Virus fraud in Kollyfornia makes the Skinny Minny fraud look like a "rounding error."</a> Told ya. This anti-fraud offensive will hit every blue state and a couple of corrupt red states.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/something-historic-cnn-analyst-gobstruck-by-how-vance-is-polling-against-nikki-haley-others?utm_source=theblaze-breaking&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Trending&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%20TheBlaze%20Breaking%20News&tpcc=email&sailthru_id=68950ec1b1b9914c7008fee5" target="_blank">J. D. Vance's polling against potential GOP opponents? He's off the charts, </a>ahead of where Trump was in many cases. CNN's Harry Enten was stunned. Meanwhile, it's hard being right so much. I predicted last year when Trump and Elon had their dustup that it was two brothers fighting and that<a href="https://wltreport.com/2026/01/04/elon-musk-dines-president-trump-mar-lago-after/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank"> Elon would be back in the fold within months. It's January, and look who is having dinner with the Trump's at Mar-a-Lago.</a> I further predict he will be back for a second run with DOGE.</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) From Seth Keshel: NC saw another net 2000 Rs register, making NC officially a <strong>red state</strong>. The shift has been incredible. NC was D+175,000 just five years ago. PA is next. 12) Here is a<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/military/watch-destroying-kamikaze-drones-cheap-autonomous-turrets?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6789" target="_blank"> cheap and easily-deployed antidote to drones.</a> I'm sure this will be part of the mix, but I have seen video of electronics warfare causing dozens of drones to just fall out of the sky. I think that will be the major form of defense.</p><p><br /> </p><p>13) The<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/fbi-thwarts-isis-inspired-new-years-eve-terror-plot-in-north-carolina-5965347?utm_source=morningbriefnoe&src_src=morningbriefnoe&utm_campaign=mb-2026-01-03&src_cmp=mb-2026-01-03&utm_medium=email&est=cMwo2Yxkh9a0iWxUaRgOeFhSzZoNT7ZF3uXRNknCCUgPunrgcKyYE%2BGVPMNK3IJj%2BoDh%2BRfTj1c%3D" target="_blank"> FBI foiled a New Year's Eve terror plot in NC.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>14) HHS just put <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/hhs-freezing-child-care-payments-minnesota-after-fraud/story?id=128793851" target="_blank">new rules in place for soggy snotponds like Minnesota</a>, where Skinnies will no longer be able to just stick their hand out to taxpayers and say "Thank you sir may I have another."

I wrote about this <a href="https://larrys.substack.com/p/the-skinny-minny-tidal-pool-will" target="_blank">in my substack yesterday</a>, explaining why almost every major Department in the U.S. government is going to have a stake in exposing and punishing this. It affects the Department of Ag (food centers), Department of Ed ("learning centers," where one of the signs read "Learing Center"), the Department of Homeland Security and DOJ, and, to the extent multi-state fraud was involved, the SEC. If products were shipped in for fraud it could also involve Transportation.

Only 31 of 93 U.S. attorneys nominated by Trump have been confirmed so far. And yet Bondi's crew has won almost every single case the toadstools brought against Trump.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) The big news, which came and went faster than a bean burrito in front of Rosie O'Donnell, is that the Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro, whose election was as suspect as that of Rutabaga, was arrested and teleported out of Venezuela in a perfect operation that came through like clockwork prior to digitization. U.S. forces took out anti-air stations, dropped in some special operators, killed a few bodyguards, and heisted the <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/maduro-and-his-wife-indicted-in-us-federal-court-5965616?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2026-01-03-1&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2026-01-03-1&utm_medium=email&est=qvKfY9tJqb3GsBv2X52kWPYTSUU2%2BJihttDDKLapkES8shED3%2Bd3GfKfEmaNT7R0p3GqA92r" target="_blank">strongman right out of his presidential palace and to a New York court </a>where he and his lovely wife were indicted on more charges than P. Diddy. He ain't getting out of this, though he may rat on a number of U.S. pols to keep him out of gen pop at Soledad. This operation was planned for weeks, just awaiting as Trump said, the right time. It occurred without a single leak. I must now give Susie Wiles the nickname "Silent Susie," as this is the second very big op (remember Iran's nukes?) that came off without a hitch and without a leak. Now, pump this into your brain and marinate on it: the U.S. has now carried out two operations against enemy targets heavily protected by Russian (and, one would assume, some ChiCom defense systems, disabled them like Harry Bosch picking a lock, and didn't suffer a single enemy hit. What do you think is going on within the ChicCom and Russkie militaries right now? "For sale: 200 anti-aircraft systems, never used, badly abused." Moreover, the military accompanied DOJ officials, who did the actual arrest. Remember ol' Pineapple Face, Panama's Manuel Noriega? Yeah, took weeks to get him. And<a href="https://x.com/FireNewz/status/2007811054982607228" target="_blank"> now Venezuela's top intel officer wants asylum here and is willing to "name names.</a>" Hmm. Do any of those names have a "D" after them? Oh, there is not "MAGA fracture" over Venezuela. <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/doctrines-and-fractures-monday-january?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=183556502&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">As Jeff Chliders points out, this is 100% in the Trump Strategic Doctrine released late last yea</a>r. This is yet another attempt by the Hoax News to create some rift in MAGA.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Congrats to Pam Bondi and the Punisher, Pete Hegseth. You can see why they really didn't want him as SecWar. Trump's ability to pull off these incredible surgical strikes without long drawn-out wars has the GOP isolationist wing panicking, for what is there to complain about if we get our foreign policy goals met at virtually no cost?

In other words, companies that work for Uncle Sam may not in any way be involved in DEI or they won't get their cheddar.

      <title>Today&apos;s News, December 23-24, 2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Just a general observation on the leftoid/RINO/DeSorosoid attacks on the J.D. Vance speech at TPUSA: Remember Rush Limbaugh. "they will tell you whom they fear."</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) A new <a href="https://justthenews.com/government/congress/china-exploited-department-energy-divert-research-its-own-technology-military?utm_source=daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter" target="_blank">House report says that researchers and faculty knowingly collaborated with the ChiComs on military work</a>.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Last Saturday I had a <a href="https://larrys.substack.com/p/on-the-numerous-resignations" target="_blank">substack about Trump's incredible energy</a>---not just personally but in his administration---and how the ballroom, the name change of the Kennedy Center, and the Reiner tweet were all consuming almost all news while the real news was that the administration had deported 2.5 million illegals, brought about a real (red) color revolution in Latin America, is moving into fusion, and most of all how he has started dismantling the federal government with over 275,000 employees dumped, three entire agencies closed, DoEd dismantled, and so on. Yesterday, <a href="https://amgreatness.com/2025/12/21/trump-never-sleeps-but-the-media-keeps-dreaming/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=" target="_blank">Roger Kimball picked up on that.</a> I showed that many of these resignations (30 for Rs, 22 for Ds) are due to the fact that Trump has made Congress irrelevant, yet to even tread water they have to work like dogs to keep up with Trump. It ain't fun, and they don't have junkets anymore. Need more evidence that the Congresscritters and Senate Snorers are overwhelmed by the amount of work Trump makes them do? New <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/republican-senator-announces-retirement-citing-exhaustion-i-feel-like-a-sprinter-in-a-marathon?utm_source=theblaze-dailyPM&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Daily-Newsletter__PM%202025-12-19&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%20TheBlaze%20Daily%20PM&tpcc=email&sailthru_id=68950ec1b1b9914c7008fee5&mb=Y" target="_blank">senator Cynthia Lummis of WY, having just been elected five years ago, is quitting</a> due to <i><strong>EXHAUSTION</strong></i> saying "I feel like a sprinter in a marathon." Yep. That's Trump for ya. Get on the dance floor or go home.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Just the latest excuse, this one from <i>Axios</i>: <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/12/21/democrats-makeovers-2028-president" target="_blank">DemoKKKrats aren't winning because they are fat and ugly and now are getting makeovers</a>. Yes, they are fat and ugly, largely ugly because their inner Satan comes through way too much.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/doj-indicts-2-including-haitian-national-in-7-million-food-stamp-fraud-scheme-5960019?utm_source=Goodevening&src_src=Goodevening&utm_campaign=gv-2025-12-19&src_cmp=gv-2025-12-19&utm_medium=email&est=uuf586Pm%2FAspZPv8kCj9Y3EJ%2FB2k3jdWvWyglql4qmobcwMi%2F6oQbuNF261Ph7IWiVJ0rrej" target="_blank">DOJ has indicted two more, both Haitians</a>, in a food stamp fraud scheme.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/12/20/us-news/san-francisco-power-outage-leaves-130000-in-the-dark/" target="_blank">A power outage in Groomer City (SF) left 130,000 in the dark</a> as self-driving cars took the day off in the middle of the street.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) The <a href="https://www.nysun.com/article/d-c-police-chief-steps-down-blasting-haters-who-say-she-incentivized-false-crime-statistics?newsletter-access&recognized_email=larryschweikart%40gmail.com&utm_source=MG&utm_medium=email-newsletter&utm_campaign=Breaking%20%202025-12-20" target="_blank">District of Columbia DEI Police Chief resigned, citing "haters"</a> about her diddling with the crime stats.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Kollyfornia <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/energy/california-faces-fuel-disaster-refineries-and-gas-stations-shut-down?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6705" target="_blank">is facing fuel shortages as refineries shut down and energy companies leave</a>. Boo hoo. The state could go full Chernobyl and I wouldn't care.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) I told you about this and saw this coming a mile away. Trump Tar Babied the DemoKKKrats into demanding the release of the Epstein files. <a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/dems-epstein-hoax-backfires-spectacularly-as-new-pics-of-bill-clinton-emerge-mace/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank">Now that they are out, Bill Clinton is all over them like ugly on an ape.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>10) The <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/12/21/cisa-acting-director-madhu-gottumukkala-polygraph-investigation-00701996" target="_blank">acting director of cybersecurity failed a lie detector test, and now the whole unit is suspect.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>11) At her TPUSA speech, <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/12/21/tulsi-gabbard-islamist-ideology-america-threat-americafest-tpusa/" target="_blank">Tulsi Gabbard called "Islamic Ideology" as the greatest threat to Western Civilization</a>. No, Tulsi, it's <a href="https://www.wildworldofpolitics.com/blog/hashtags/2" target="_blank">#2</a> because LIBERAL DemoKKKrat ideology encourages and permits "Islamic ideology."</p><p><br /> </p><p>12) President Trump <a href="https://protrumpnews.com/trump-ousts-more-career-diplomats/" target="_blank">is ousting more career diplomats, or, as President Harry Truman called them,</a> "Striped-pants boys."</p><p><br /> </p><p>13) It's obvious the whole Epstein file thing failed badly for DemoKKKrats. All they can talk about today is J.D. Vance. That's because<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/doj-says-it-rereleased-119-pages-of-epstein-files-that-were-redacted-5961069?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank"> the DOJ just re-released a bunch of docs that had been redacted</a>. More problems for DemoKKKrats. And this doesn't help: the <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/fbi-democrat-97598/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">FBI arrested a top VA DemoKKKrat official for kiddie porn.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>14) Emails <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/biden-doj-6-97566/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">show Rutabaga's White House coordinated with DOJ and FBI on the Mar-a-Lago raid</a>. Well, it would sure be nice if people went to jail. For example, Stacy (M1) Abrams, the Human Planet <a href="https://theamericantribune.com/stacey-abrams-led-climate-group-caught-pocketing-5-million-of-2-billion-biden-grant-before-trump-axed-it/" target="_blank">had a group that pocketed $5 million in "green" money before Trump killed it.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>15) Say what? The Brown shooter, the Portuguese analclot, had an X account with only 79 followers.<a href="https://x.com/WallStreetApes/status/2002262027516194871?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2002262027516194871%7Ctwgr%5Eb8b00f5764e3503c165e67bf59e5ba5fc2436481%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cypher-news.com%2F2025%2F12%2Fone-small-detail-in-the-brown-shooting-thats-raising-eyebrows%2F" target="_blank"> Guess who one of the 79 was? Barack (Zero) Obama.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>16) HHS is at it again, this time <a href="https://thenewamerican.com/us/immigration/hhs-to-immigrant-sponsors-pay-what-you-owe-for-immigrants-who-use-medicaid-or-face-collection/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">requiring the corporate sponsors of illegal criminal alien invaders to pay their medical share of Medicaid or face collection.</a> This is the way.</p><p><br /> </p><p>17) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/dhs-locates-nearly-130000-unaccompanied-missing-children-says-noem-5960782?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">DHS has rescued almost 130,000 illegal immmigrant children who were missing and trafficked</a>. Good. Now, what are you going to do with them?</p><p><br /> </p><p>18) The <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/transportation-department-mandates-english-proficiency-for-cross-border-mexican-railway-workers-5960780?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">Department of Transpo has demanded English efficiency from cross-border Mexican railway workers.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>19) Shocking numbers on how DEI pushed men out of culture by <a href="https://christopherrufo.com/p/dei-and-the-lost-generation?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1248321&post_id=182104399&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Christopher Rufo</a> (Hollywood TV screenwriters went from 48% in 2011 to just 11.9% in 2024).</p><p><br /> </p><p>20) Well, this was obvious when I worked in the university system: <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/how-universities-divert-federal-science-grants-to-dei-and-administrative-bloat" target="_blank">"How federal funds are diverted to DEI and administrative bloat."</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN TRANSOID NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>21) Texas has <a href="https://justthenews.com/nation/states/center-square/new-complaint-tool-launched-texans-report-men-womens-spaces" target="_blank">released a new tool for the public to report men in women's sports.

This is key. If greens are kept off, AZ will continue to grow and likely become a new gigantic tech hub of the 21st century. But if whacksmokers get those seats, the water in AZ will dry up and go to Kollyfornia.</p><p><br /> </p><p>29) <a href="https://amgreatness.com/2025/12/20/blood-on-the-sand-australian-massacre-exposes-hollow-core-of-anti-zionism/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=" target="_blank">The Bondi Beach episode exposes the notion that antisemitism is just "Anti-Israel." </a>Nope. These people hate, hate, hate Jews.

The American PEOPLE scored a big win, thanks to Trump. So let that sink in politically.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Just a general observation on the leftoid/RINO/DeSorosoid attacks on the J.D. Vance speech at TPUSA: Remember Rush Limbaugh. "they will tell you whom they fear."</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) A new <a href="https://justthenews.com/government/congress/china-exploited-department-energy-divert-research-its-own-technology-military?utm_source=daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter" target="_blank">House report says that researchers and faculty knowingly collaborated with the ChiComs on military work</a>.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Last Saturday I had a <a href="https://larrys.substack.com/p/on-the-numerous-resignations" target="_blank">substack about Trump's incredible energy</a>---not just personally but in his administration---and how the ballroom, the name change of the Kennedy Center, and the Reiner tweet were all consuming almost all news while the real news was that the administration had deported 2.5 million illegals, brought about a real (red) color revolution in Latin America, is moving into fusion, and most of all how he has started dismantling the federal government with over 275,000 employees dumped, three entire agencies closed, DoEd dismantled, and so on. Yesterday, <a href="https://amgreatness.com/2025/12/21/trump-never-sleeps-but-the-media-keeps-dreaming/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=" target="_blank">Roger Kimball picked up on that.</a> I showed that many of these resignations (30 for Rs, 22 for Ds) are due to the fact that Trump has made Congress irrelevant, yet to even tread water they have to work like dogs to keep up with Trump. It ain't fun, and they don't have junkets anymore. Need more evidence that the Congresscritters and Senate Snorers are overwhelmed by the amount of work Trump makes them do? New <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/republican-senator-announces-retirement-citing-exhaustion-i-feel-like-a-sprinter-in-a-marathon?utm_source=theblaze-dailyPM&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Daily-Newsletter__PM%202025-12-19&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%20TheBlaze%20Daily%20PM&tpcc=email&sailthru_id=68950ec1b1b9914c7008fee5&mb=Y" target="_blank">senator Cynthia Lummis of WY, having just been elected five years ago, is quitting</a> due to <i><strong>EXHAUSTION</strong></i> saying "I feel like a sprinter in a marathon." Yep. That's Trump for ya. Get on the dance floor or go home.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Just the latest excuse, this one from <i>Axios</i>: <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/12/21/democrats-makeovers-2028-president" target="_blank">DemoKKKrats aren't winning because they are fat and ugly and now are getting makeovers</a>. Yes, they are fat and ugly, largely ugly because their inner Satan comes through way too much.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/doj-indicts-2-including-haitian-national-in-7-million-food-stamp-fraud-scheme-5960019?utm_source=Goodevening&src_src=Goodevening&utm_campaign=gv-2025-12-19&src_cmp=gv-2025-12-19&utm_medium=email&est=uuf586Pm%2FAspZPv8kCj9Y3EJ%2FB2k3jdWvWyglql4qmobcwMi%2F6oQbuNF261Ph7IWiVJ0rrej" target="_blank">DOJ has indicted two more, both Haitians</a>, in a food stamp fraud scheme.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/12/20/us-news/san-francisco-power-outage-leaves-130000-in-the-dark/" target="_blank">A power outage in Groomer City (SF) left 130,000 in the dark</a> as self-driving cars took the day off in the middle of the street.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) The <a href="https://www.nysun.com/article/d-c-police-chief-steps-down-blasting-haters-who-say-she-incentivized-false-crime-statistics?newsletter-access&recognized_email=larryschweikart%40gmail.com&utm_source=MG&utm_medium=email-newsletter&utm_campaign=Breaking%20%202025-12-20" target="_blank">District of Columbia DEI Police Chief resigned, citing "haters"</a> about her diddling with the crime stats.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Kollyfornia <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/energy/california-faces-fuel-disaster-refineries-and-gas-stations-shut-down?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6705" target="_blank">is facing fuel shortages as refineries shut down and energy companies leave</a>. Boo hoo. The state could go full Chernobyl and I wouldn't care.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) I told you about this and saw this coming a mile away. Trump Tar Babied the DemoKKKrats into demanding the release of the Epstein files. <a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/dems-epstein-hoax-backfires-spectacularly-as-new-pics-of-bill-clinton-emerge-mace/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank">Now that they are out, Bill Clinton is all over them like ugly on an ape.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>10) The <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/12/21/cisa-acting-director-madhu-gottumukkala-polygraph-investigation-00701996" target="_blank">acting director of cybersecurity failed a lie detector test, and now the whole unit is suspect.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>11) At her TPUSA speech, <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/12/21/tulsi-gabbard-islamist-ideology-america-threat-americafest-tpusa/" target="_blank">Tulsi Gabbard called "Islamic Ideology" as the greatest threat to Western Civilization</a>. No, Tulsi, it's <a href="https://www.wildworldofpolitics.com/blog/hashtags/2" target="_blank">#2</a> because LIBERAL DemoKKKrat ideology encourages and permits "Islamic ideology."</p><p><br /> </p><p>12) President Trump <a href="https://protrumpnews.com/trump-ousts-more-career-diplomats/" target="_blank">is ousting more career diplomats, or, as President Harry Truman called them,</a> "Striped-pants boys."</p><p><br /> </p><p>13) It's obvious the whole Epstein file thing failed badly for DemoKKKrats. All they can talk about today is J.D. Vance. That's because<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/doj-says-it-rereleased-119-pages-of-epstein-files-that-were-redacted-5961069?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank"> the DOJ just re-released a bunch of docs that had been redacted</a>. More problems for DemoKKKrats. And this doesn't help: the <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/fbi-democrat-97598/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">FBI arrested a top VA DemoKKKrat official for kiddie porn.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>14) Emails <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/biden-doj-6-97566/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">show Rutabaga's White House coordinated with DOJ and FBI on the Mar-a-Lago raid</a>. Well, it would sure be nice if people went to jail. For example, Stacy (M1) Abrams, the Human Planet <a href="https://theamericantribune.com/stacey-abrams-led-climate-group-caught-pocketing-5-million-of-2-billion-biden-grant-before-trump-axed-it/" target="_blank">had a group that pocketed $5 million in "green" money before Trump killed it.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>15) Say what? The Brown shooter, the Portuguese analclot, had an X account with only 79 followers.<a href="https://x.com/WallStreetApes/status/2002262027516194871?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2002262027516194871%7Ctwgr%5Eb8b00f5764e3503c165e67bf59e5ba5fc2436481%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cypher-news.com%2F2025%2F12%2Fone-small-detail-in-the-brown-shooting-thats-raising-eyebrows%2F" target="_blank"> Guess who one of the 79 was? Barack (Zero) Obama.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>16) HHS is at it again, this time <a href="https://thenewamerican.com/us/immigration/hhs-to-immigrant-sponsors-pay-what-you-owe-for-immigrants-who-use-medicaid-or-face-collection/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">requiring the corporate sponsors of illegal criminal alien invaders to pay their medical share of Medicaid or face collection.</a> This is the way.</p><p><br /> </p><p>17) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/dhs-locates-nearly-130000-unaccompanied-missing-children-says-noem-5960782?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">DHS has rescued almost 130,000 illegal immmigrant children who were missing and trafficked</a>. Good. Now, what are you going to do with them?</p><p><br /> </p><p>18) The <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/transportation-department-mandates-english-proficiency-for-cross-border-mexican-railway-workers-5960780?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">Department of Transpo has demanded English efficiency from cross-border Mexican railway workers.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>19) Shocking numbers on how DEI pushed men out of culture by <a href="https://christopherrufo.com/p/dei-and-the-lost-generation?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1248321&post_id=182104399&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Christopher Rufo</a> (Hollywood TV screenwriters went from 48% in 2011 to just 11.9% in 2024).</p><p><br /> </p><p>20) Well, this was obvious when I worked in the university system: <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/how-universities-divert-federal-science-grants-to-dei-and-administrative-bloat" target="_blank">"How federal funds are diverted to DEI and administrative bloat."</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN TRANSOID NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>21) Texas has <a href="https://justthenews.com/nation/states/center-square/new-complaint-tool-launched-texans-report-men-womens-spaces" target="_blank">released a new tool for the public to report men in women's sports.

This is key. If greens are kept off, AZ will continue to grow and likely become a new gigantic tech hub of the 21st century. But if whacksmokers get those seats, the water in AZ will dry up and go to Kollyfornia.</p><p><br /> </p><p>29) <a href="https://amgreatness.com/2025/12/20/blood-on-the-sand-australian-massacre-exposes-hollow-core-of-anti-zionism/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=" target="_blank">The Bondi Beach episode exposes the notion that antisemitism is just "Anti-Israel." </a>Nope. These people hate, hate, hate Jews. Victims were targeted not for their pro-Israel politics and lived 9,000 miles from Tel Aviv.</p><p><br /> </p><p>30) When DEI bites back: <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/dna-evidence-proves-first-black-briton-was-actually-white-girl?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6705" target="_blank">the "first black Briton?"</a> oops.

The American PEOPLE scored a big win, thanks to Trump. So let that sink in politically.

Now he is<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-plans-to-discuss-potential-price-cuts-with-health-insurers-5960731?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank"> discussing price cuts with insurers.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>35) Now this is progress right? <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15395001/Doctor-notorious-Sarco-euthanasia-pod-shows-new-suicide-collar-kills-patients-applying-pressure-neck.html" target="_blank">A Dutch doctor created a "suicide collar" that will choke the life out of those who want to kill themselves.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>36) Porky Pritzker/Jerry No' Nads Nadler alert: <a href="https://medicalxpress.com/news/2025-12-dietary-restriction-fuels-cells-ketones.html" target="_blank">lower caloric restrictions aid the body's immunity and cancer-fighting ability.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>AND FINALLY . . .</h3><p><br /> </p><p>37) Did you ever wonder how Daniel Stern and Joe Pesci survived those injuries in "Home Alone?"

Yes, they are fat and ugly, largely ugly because their inner Satan comes through way too much.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/doj-indicts-2-including-haitian-national-in-7-million-food-stamp-fraud-scheme-5960019?utm_source=Goodevening&src_src=Goodevening&utm_campaign=gv-2025-12-19&src_cmp=gv-2025-12-19&utm_medium=email&est=uuf586Pm%2FAspZPv8kCj9Y3EJ%2FB2k3jdWvWyglql4qmobcwMi%2F6oQbuNF261Ph7IWiVJ0rrej" target="_blank">DOJ has indicted two more, both Haitians</a>, in a food stamp fraud scheme.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/12/20/us-news/san-francisco-power-outage-leaves-130000-in-the-dark/" target="_blank">A power outage in Groomer City (SF) left 130,000 in the dark</a> as self-driving cars took the day off in the middle of the street.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) The <a href="https://www.nysun.com/article/d-c-police-chief-steps-down-blasting-haters-who-say-she-incentivized-false-crime-statistics?newsletter-access&recognized_email=larryschweikart%40gmail.com&utm_source=MG&utm_medium=email-newsletter&utm_campaign=Breaking%20%202025-12-20" target="_blank">District of Columbia DEI Police Chief resigned, citing "haters"</a> about her diddling with the crime stats.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Kollyfornia <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/energy/california-faces-fuel-disaster-refineries-and-gas-stations-shut-down?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6705" target="_blank">is facing fuel shortages as refineries shut down and energy companies leave</a>. Boo hoo. The state could go full Chernobyl and I wouldn't care.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) I told you about this and saw this coming a mile away. Trump Tar Babied the DemoKKKrats into demanding the release of the Epstein files. <a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/dems-epstein-hoax-backfires-spectacularly-as-new-pics-of-bill-clinton-emerge-mace/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank">Now that they are out, Bill Clinton is all over them like ugly on an ape.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>10) The <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/12/21/cisa-acting-director-madhu-gottumukkala-polygraph-investigation-00701996" target="_blank">acting director of cybersecurity failed a lie detector test, and now the whole unit is suspect.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>11) At her TPUSA speech, <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/12/21/tulsi-gabbard-islamist-ideology-america-threat-americafest-tpusa/" target="_blank">Tulsi Gabbard called "Islamic Ideology" as the greatest threat to Western Civilization</a>. No, Tulsi, it's <a href="https://www.wildworldofpolitics.com/blog/hashtags/2" target="_blank">#2</a> because LIBERAL DemoKKKrat ideology encourages and permits "Islamic ideology."</p><p><br /> </p><p>12) President Trump <a href="https://protrumpnews.com/trump-ousts-more-career-diplomats/" target="_blank">is ousting more career diplomats, or, as President Harry Truman called them,</a> "Striped-pants boys."</p><p><br /> </p><p>13) It's obvious the whole Epstein file thing failed badly for DemoKKKrats. All they can talk about today is J.D. Vance. That's because<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/doj-says-it-rereleased-119-pages-of-epstein-files-that-were-redacted-5961069?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank"> the DOJ just re-released a bunch of docs that had been redacted</a>.

Well, it would sure be nice if people went to jail. For example, Stacy (M1) Abrams, the Human Planet <a href="https://theamericantribune.com/stacey-abrams-led-climate-group-caught-pocketing-5-million-of-2-billion-biden-grant-before-trump-axed-it/" target="_blank">had a group that pocketed $5 million in "green" money before Trump killed it.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>15) Say what?

This is key. If greens are kept off, AZ will continue to grow and likely become a new gigantic tech hub of the 21st century. But if whacksmokers get those seats, the water in AZ will dry up and go to Kollyfornia.</p><p><br /> </p><p>29) <a href="https://amgreatness.com/2025/12/20/blood-on-the-sand-australian-massacre-exposes-hollow-core-of-anti-zionism/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=" target="_blank">The Bondi Beach episode exposes the notion that antisemitism is just "Anti-Israel." </a>Nope. These people hate, hate, hate Jews.

The American PEOPLE scored a big win, thanks to Trump. So let that sink in politically.

Now he is<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-plans-to-discuss-potential-price-cuts-with-health-insurers-5960731?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank"> discussing price cuts with insurers.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>35) Now this is progress right? <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15395001/Doctor-notorious-Sarco-euthanasia-pod-shows-new-suicide-collar-kills-patients-applying-pressure-neck.html" target="_blank">A Dutch doctor created a "suicide collar" that will choke the life out of those who want to kill themselves.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>36) Porky Pritzker/Jerry No' Nads Nadler alert: <a href="https://medicalxpress.com/news/2025-12-dietary-restriction-fuels-cells-ketones.html" target="_blank">lower caloric restrictions aid the body's immunity and cancer-fighting ability.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>AND FINALLY . . .</h3><p><br /> </p><p>37) Did you ever wonder how Daniel Stern and Joe Pesci survived those injuries in "Home Alone?"

All they can talk about today is J.D. Vance. That's because<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/doj-says-it-rereleased-119-pages-of-epstein-files-that-were-redacted-5961069?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank"> the DOJ just re-released a bunch of docs that had been redacted</a>.

He was a Portuguese foreign national</a> (but what else?) Claudio Valente. I am NOT a conspiracy theorist. I am NOT a conspiracy theorist. (Brown shooting, MIT shooting of a Jewish man, FBI breaks up massive terror plot, Charlie Kirk shooting, attempts on President Trump---but the left has no hand in trying to do ANYTHING to distract from their upcoming extinction?)

Oops. <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/us/politics/dnc-2024-autopsy-democrats-ken-martin.html" target="_blank">Now they are burying that</a>, saying "Does this help us win? No." In other words, honesty about why they lost must take a back seat to fantasy about how they can, gosh-darn it, just win next time with no changes. Can it be worse? I dunno. <a href="https://x.com/OpenSourceZone/status/2001825851827196144" target="_blank">Now the DemoKKKrats are at a pathetic 15% approval among men</a>.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) How convenient: t<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/first-brown-university-shooting-now-strange-murder-mits-nuclear-scientist?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6683" target="_blank">he suspect in the Brown shooting was finally found, five days later, daid. He was a Portuguese foreign national</a> (but what else?) Claudio Valente. I am NOT a conspiracy theorist. I am NOT a conspiracy theorist. (Brown shooting, MIT shooting of a Jewish man, FBI breaks up massive terror plot, Charlie Kirk shooting, attempts on President Trump---but the left has no hand in trying to do ANYTHING to distract from their upcoming extinction?) Wait, it gets worse. <a href="https://x.com/EYakoby/status/2001714761046626388" target="_blank">Far-lefoid glandjuggler students at Brown reportedly forced the University to disable cameras </a>across campus so the violent pro-Hamas Murder Pirate/pro-Pale cheesesnooters wouldn't be indentified when they did their little "Free Palestine" rampages.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) A few DemoKKKrats are feeling used, as in they are now<a href="https://www.theblaze.com/shows/sara-gonzales-unfiltered/bombshell-report-republicans-pushed-crockett-senate-race?utm_source=theblaze-dailyPM&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Daily-Newsletter__PM%202025-12-18&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%20TheBlaze%20Daily%20PM&tpcc=email&sailthru_id=68950ec1b1b9914c7008fee5&mb=Y" target="_blank"> claiming the GOP (the Gang that Couldn't Shoot Straight) managed to maneuver Jazzy What-a-Crockett into dropping out of the House and running (hopelessly) for the Senate.</a> I dunno, you guys think we're that smart?</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) The <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/atlanta/news/justice-department-lawsuit-fulton-county-2020-election-voter-data/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">DOJ has now ordered voting records from Fulton Co</a>. Fraud there? Nahhhhh. Except <a href="https://x.com/briannalyman2/status/2001481673641463924" target="_blank">here we have pretty good evidence that Rutabaga stole GA in the 2020 election fraud.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Here's that infamous word, "eyeing," but . . . <a href="https://justthenews.com/government/federal-agencies/thuharmeet-dhillon-teases-legal-action-against-feds-involved-trump?utm_source=daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter" target="_blank">"Feds are eyeing civil rights violations vs feds who pursued Trump and MAGA."</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>5) The guys over at "Liberal Patriot' are apparently the only ones on the left who see where their policies of death are headed.<a href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/the-future-of-the-left-in-the-21st-ef0?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=239058&post_id=181953399&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> Here they argue for "government realism" (i.e., you need Five-O), immigration realism</a> (good luck) and, in their next column, merit realism and biological realism. Guys, these are all the positions of bigoted homophobic chilipeppers, and they are not going to apply realism to anything.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Seth Keshel summarizes the voter registration shifts, after roll purges, in all 57 states.<a href="https://www.captaink.us/p/captain-ks-final-national-voter-registration?utm_campaign=email-half-post&r=dx45b&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> Rs net gained 1.18 million last year</a>.

The DNC had commissioned a "what went wrong" study for the 2024 election. DNC Chairman Ken Martin (who booted out Lil' Hitler, David Hogglet) promised transparency. Oops. <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/us/politics/dnc-2024-autopsy-democrats-ken-martin.html" target="_blank">Now they are burying that</a>, saying "Does this help us win? No." In other words, honesty about why they lost must take a back seat to fantasy about how they can, gosh-darn it, just win next time with no changes. Can it be worse? I dunno. <a href="https://x.com/OpenSourceZone/status/2001825851827196144" target="_blank">Now the DemoKKKrats are at a pathetic 15% approval among men</a>.

Mark Moonman Kelly into an "Official Command Investigation."</a> People, do you get how important this is? A military investigation goes to a military court, no spickle-duster Rutabaga civilian judges.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Boston area po-po, you know the same ones who after nearly three days still don't even have a face or name for the Brown U. shooter? Yeah,<a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/12/17/police-mit-professor-shooting-brookline-ma-nuno-loureiro" target="_blank"> they are opening an investigation into the shooting of an MIT prof</a>. I'm sure it was an Amish guy who is responsible.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Just the latest rot uncovered in the Rutabaga admin: <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/12/15/dni-bombshell-report-joe-biden-welcomed-18000-known-suspected-terrorists-us/" target="_blank">he let in 18,000 "known" or "suspected" terrorists into the country.</a> Tell me again this guy, like Zero, wasn't doing everything he could to destroy the United States.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Rob Reiner's son,<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/report-rob-reiner-and-wife-killed-their-troubled-son?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6658" target="_blank"> Nick, has been taken into custody for slitting his parents' throats.</a> He is <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2025/12/16/nick-reiner-not-medically-cleared-for-court-appearance/" target="_blank">not yet "medically ready" for a court appearance.</a> New reports say that he would <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/12/16/us-news/nick-reiner-would-not-sleep-for-days-punch-walls-during-meth-fueled-rages-report/" target="_blank">not sleep for days and fly into meth-filled rages.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>5) President Trump has ordered <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-orders-blockade-of-sanctioned-oil-tankers-off-venezuela-5959198?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-12-17&src_cmp=mb-2025-12-17&utm_medium=email&est=pcZyqOWql8%2BnLZB8d9vFA2CdkWTdBRX63LcJXWzqZFPQy%2BCPG0I43FzqCoQR5iRahNAhUKA%3D" target="_blank">a naval blockade off Venezuela to stop sanctioned oil tankers.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>6)<a href="https://www.livenowfox.com/news/fbi-deputy-director-dan-bongino-resigns" target="_blank"> Dan Bongino has resigned as assistant director of the FBI. </a>Bongino was reported to have been "ready to leave" over three months ago. There is no question he and AG Pam Bondi had different approaches to the mission, but he was the subordinate. However, this appears to be mostly about being separated from his family. I get it. Mrs. LS told me in the first Trump admin, when Bannon was discussing a couple of positions with me, that she was fine with me going, but she was NOT going to move.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Here are the <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/article/who-are-the-51-members-of-congress-not-seeking-reelection-5943648?utm_source=News&src_src=News&utm_campaign=ts-2025-12-16&src_cmp=ts-2025-12-16&utm_medium=email&est=sMpRvUP4ynLeoHi0PrDfCT85om1mkzaNTW6PasKxUb37dsYTZlfc14I7ZfQXRbKmw2hWoexn" target="_blank">29 Rs and 22 Ds not seeking reelection</a>.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Excellent news, as the War Department has <a href="https://x.com/breannamorello/status/2000708295225471479" target="_blank">upgraded its initial inquiry into Sen. Mark Moonman Kelly into an "Official Command Investigation."</a> People, do you get how important this is? A military investigation goes to a military court, no spickle-duster Rutabaga civilian judges.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Boston area po-po, you know the same ones who after nearly three days still don't even have a face or name for the Brown U. shooter? Yeah,<a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/12/17/police-mit-professor-shooting-brookline-ma-nuno-loureiro" target="_blank"> they are opening an investigation into the shooting of an MIT prof</a>. I'm sure it was an Amish guy who is responsible.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Just the latest rot uncovered in the Rutabaga admin: <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/12/15/dni-bombshell-report-joe-biden-welcomed-18000-known-suspected-terrorists-us/" target="_blank">he let in 18,000 "known" or "suspected" terrorists into the country.</a> Tell me again this guy, like Zero, wasn't doing everything he could to destroy the United States.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Rob Reiner's son,<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/report-rob-reiner-and-wife-killed-their-troubled-son?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6658" target="_blank"> Nick, has been taken into custody for slitting his parents' throats.</a> He is <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2025/12/16/nick-reiner-not-medically-cleared-for-court-appearance/" target="_blank">not yet "medically ready" for a court appearance.</a> New reports say that he would <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/12/16/us-news/nick-reiner-would-not-sleep-for-days-punch-walls-during-meth-fueled-rages-report/" target="_blank">not sleep for days and fly into meth-filled rages.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>5) President Trump has ordered <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-orders-blockade-of-sanctioned-oil-tankers-off-venezuela-5959198?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-12-17&src_cmp=mb-2025-12-17&utm_medium=email&est=pcZyqOWql8%2BnLZB8d9vFA2CdkWTdBRX63LcJXWzqZFPQy%2BCPG0I43FzqCoQR5iRahNAhUKA%3D" target="_blank">a naval blockade off Venezuela to stop sanctioned oil tankers.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>6)<a href="https://www.livenowfox.com/news/fbi-deputy-director-dan-bongino-resigns" target="_blank"> Dan Bongino has resigned as assistant director of the FBI. </a>Bongino was reported to have been "ready to leave" over three months ago. There is no question he and AG Pam Bondi had different approaches to the mission, but he was the subordinate. However, this appears to be mostly about being separated from his family. I get it. Mrs. LS told me in the first Trump admin, when Bannon was discussing a couple of positions with me, that she was fine with me going, but she was NOT going to move.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Here are the <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/article/who-are-the-51-members-of-congress-not-seeking-reelection-5943648?utm_source=News&src_src=News&utm_campaign=ts-2025-12-16&src_cmp=ts-2025-12-16&utm_medium=email&est=sMpRvUP4ynLeoHi0PrDfCT85om1mkzaNTW6PasKxUb37dsYTZlfc14I7ZfQXRbKmw2hWoexn" target="_blank">29 Rs and 22 Ds not seeking reelection</a>.

Today, <a href="https://x.com/OpenSourceZone/status/2001373638654841181?s=20" target="_blank">a poll has them at 18% approval, an all time low.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>13) President Trump <a href="https://www.npr.org/2025/12/15/nx-s1-5645149/wmd-fentanyl-trump-cartels?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">designated street fentanyl as a "WMD."</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>14) "The Punisher," SecWar Pete Hegseth, is reorganizing the Pentagon away from Europe and war with Russia, <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15388627/Pete-Hegseth-slash-4-star-generals-Pentagon-shake-pulls-plug-Europe-Middle-East.html" target="_blank">and slashing the number lf 4-star generals</a>.

Good. Maybe people will start acting like free adults again. But how did it get to this? It all began when Newt Gingrich caved in the 1995 shutdown, which badly damaged the power of the House, especially over budgets. Since then, the House has been mostly irrelevant, simply rolling over Continuing Resolutions. Meanwhile the Senate, with its partisan minorities, consistently blocks nominees and legislation. .</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Over <a href="https://justthenews.com/government/federal-agencies/gao-says-more-60-clearance-data-it-reviewed-was-not-reliable-odni-must?utm_source=daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter" target="_blank">60% of security clearance data may be unreliable according to the GAO.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>9) The FBI <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/12/15/us-news/fbi-stops-planned-new-years-eve-los-angeles-terror-attack-by-pro-palestinian-cell/" target="_blank">stopped a New Year's Eve terror attack in New Azteca (LA) by a pro-Pale group</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>10) Muy bueno. <a href="https://ijr.com/less-than-one-year-out-from-midterms-some-democrats-embrace-abolish-ice-movement/?utm_source=PTN" target="_blank">DemoKKKrats are embracing "abolish ICE."</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>11) Good chart here by <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/at-least-15-killed-in-terrorist-attack-targeting-jewish-festival-in-sydney-5957964?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-12-14-2&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-12-14-2&utm_medium=email&est=GzKltHtQZWHi6QIBfOw%2FkmakPTxIXtT1C1Sldp4E69HQEbAcTXEgYfvHmzF7AzDhmrmiluM%3D" target="_blank">Ryan Girdusky, showing black births in the South have plummeted;</a> whites remain a majority of births in most states, and Hispanic births are falling in the southwest due to deportations.

When we moved from OH to AZ, between my home office and my office at the University, I probably had 2,000 books. The cost of moving prohibited me from taking all, as did my limited office space in my new home, but I moved what I deemed essential to whatever else I was doing. Honestly, I did not think at that time that I would write six more books and have a "blog," which was not a thing for me in 2016. I gave away anything I could, and when no one took, I threw away hundreds of wonderful books. Yes a few were outdated; some were bad; and later, I realized I hadn't read some because they were almost unreadable. But more often than not I found I could have used the majority of those books, and even had to repurchase them for research. Having books around is a great temptation to . . . read them! For a lark, prior to one of our Wild World of History shoots, I posed with a copy of everything I'd written. You can add three more books to that stack now.</p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_acc0c5802a954e19994a033518f28185~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1480,h_1248,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_acc0c5802a954e19994a033518f28185~mv2.jpg" alt="ree" /><p><br /> </p><p><br /> </p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_bc7b88db5d2c4c4f9977300134148adf~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_90,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_bc7b88db5d2c4c4f9977300134148adf~mv2.png" alt="ree" />

When we moved from OH to AZ, between my home office and my office at the University, I probably had 2,000 books. The cost of moving prohibited me from taking all, as did my limited office space in my new home, but I moved what I deemed essential to whatever else I was doing. Honestly, I did not think at that time that I would write six more books and have a "blog," which was not a thing for me in 2016. I gave away anything I could, and when no one took, I threw away hundreds of wonderful books. Yes a few were outdated; some were bad; and later, I realized I hadn't read some because they were almost unreadable. But more often than not I found I could have used the majority of those books, and even had to repurchase them for research. Having books around is a great temptation to . . . read them! For a lark, prior to one of our Wild World of History shoots, I posed with a copy of everything I'd written. You can add three more books to that stack now.</p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_acc0c5802a954e19994a033518f28185~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1480,h_1248,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_acc0c5802a954e19994a033518f28185~mv2.jpg" alt="ree" /><p><br /> </p><p><br /> </p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_bc7b88db5d2c4c4f9977300134148adf~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_90,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_bc7b88db5d2c4c4f9977300134148adf~mv2.png" alt="ree" />

      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Panicans and Doomspoogers unite! We have nothing to lose but the majority! The Eyores of the Right were out in force as <a href="https://www.axios.com/local/miami/2025/12/10/trump-miami-mayor-election-results" target="_blank">a DemoKKKrat won the Miami mayor race.</a> Many said "for the first time." Well, except for the DemoKKKrat who held the mayorship for 8 years not long ago <strong>as an independent </strong>who immediately re-registered as a DemoKKKrat the minute he left office. <a href="https://www.captaink.us/p/we-would-have-lost-the-revolution?utm_campaign=email-half-post&r=dx45b&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Seth Keshel is absolutely right on this: the level of groin-grabbing on X</a> and "social media" is not only, but completely out of synch with everything else happening around it. Miami? Fine. Yet Miami-Dade COUNTY just flipped red. Last week---yes, last week---FL gained 10,000 net new Rs, bringing the GOP lead in the state to over 1.4 <i>million</i>. But let's get worked up about a big urban area that elects a D for the second time in 20 years.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Trump's excellent chief of staff Susie Wiles <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/susie-wiles-says-trump-to-campaign-like-its-2024-for-republicans-in-midterms-5955788?utm_source=Goodevening&src_src=Goodevening&utm_campaign=gv-2025-12-09&src_cmp=gv-2025-12-09&utm_medium=email&est=6bXs4mIgVNUL6SYdtvBeOCGznYuNAeD24GMP%2FLWg%2B24u8WuK8%2B3thYnpZtLkN4gj5O%2FGMnhB" target="_blank">says the President will go on offense next year with multiple campaign stops to secure the House again.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>3) CAIR (the Council on American Islamic Relations, better known as the Council on American Islamic Rampagers) i<a href="https://www.captaink.us/p/we-would-have-lost-the-revolution?utm_campaign=email-half-post&r=dx45b&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">s threatening to sue FL governor Ron DeSantis for calling CAIR, correctly, a terrorist organization</a>. Now do the DemoKKKrats, gov.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/jasmine-crockett-walks-back-claim-hispanic-trump-voters-have-slave-mentality" target="_blank">Jazzy What-a-Crockett claims Hispanics have a "slave mentality"</a> when it comes to the GOP. Right. But blacks voting like robots fror DemoKKKrats who ignored them and utterly destroyed their families and neighborhoods, that ain't slave mentality right, Steppin?</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) The <a href="https://justthenews.com/government/security/war-department-confirms-87-narcoterrorists-killed-blasts-scummy-reporting-major?utm_source=daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter" target="_blank">War Department confirmed 87 narco terrorists</a> have been vaporized in boat attacks. Good. Vaporize them all.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) The <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/epa-wiping-mention-human-caused-161508486.html" target="_blank">EPA is wiping all mention of "human caused" climate change from its website</a>. Good.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) In a victory for President Trump, the a judge approved <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/judge-grants-doj-motion-release-grand-jury-materials/story?id=128243928" target="_blank">the DOJ's request to release all the grand jury material from the Epstein files</a> following Congress's Epstein Transparency Act. As best I can tell, this was 100% "Don't throw me in that briar patch" from Trump. I think DemoKKKrats will be badly disappointed in who comes up in those lists. It won't be Trump. For the record, I have argued for months that the only way to get this material out is to force DemoKKKrats to release it.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Update on <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/12/09/jordan-petersons-daughter-gives-hopeful-update-his-health/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">Jordan Peterson's health from his daughter, who says he is home but continuing to battle a severe autoimmune problem.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>9) Somalis may be in MN legally, but they are engaging in massive fraud on all levels, <a href="https://alphanews.org/" target="_blank">flying out "millions of dollars" from Minny' s airport in bags.</a> It also appears the Somalis <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/warlord-terror-and-taxpayer-theft-somali-scheme-allegedly-bilks-millions-from-maine-medicaid-to-fund-foreign-army?utm_source=theblaze-breaking&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Trending&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%20On%20Any%20Current%20Sending%20List&tpcc=email-breaking" target="_blank">were bilking a ME medicare fund to send money to furrin jihadists.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>10) Rather than fix crime or kick out illegals, <a href="https://www.qcnews.com/charlotte/charlotte-city-leaders-invest-3-4-million-in-marketing-to-improve-public-transit-image/" target="_blank">Charlotte city council spent $3.2m on public relations.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>11) <a href="https://davidblackmon.substack.com/cp/181150328" target="_blank">Colleges no longer offer a way out.</a> They are massive traffic jams for youts who need work.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN TRANSOID NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>12) <a href="https://chrisbray.substack.com/p/dc-circuit-on-the-transgender-ban?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=484195&post_id=181209336&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">A D.C. circuit court says The Punisher Pete Hegseth's transoid ban in the military is "likely constitutional</a>" since military leaders support it and because it advances American security.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Panicans and Doomspoogers unite! We have nothing to lose but the majority! The Eyores of the Right were out in force as <a href="https://www.axios.com/local/miami/2025/12/10/trump-miami-mayor-election-results" target="_blank">a DemoKKKrat won the Miami mayor race.</a> Many said "for the first time." Well, except for the DemoKKKrat who held the mayorship for 8 years not long ago <strong>as an independent </strong>who immediately re-registered as a DemoKKKrat the minute he left office. <a href="https://www.captaink.us/p/we-would-have-lost-the-revolution?utm_campaign=email-half-post&r=dx45b&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Seth Keshel is absolutely right on this: the level of groin-grabbing on X</a> and "social media" is not only, but completely out of synch with everything else happening around it. Miami? Fine. Yet Miami-Dade COUNTY just flipped red. Last week---yes, last week---FL gained 10,000 net new Rs, bringing the GOP lead in the state to over 1.4 <i>million</i>. But let's get worked up about a big urban area that elects a D for the second time in 20 years.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Trump's excellent chief of staff Susie Wiles <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/susie-wiles-says-trump-to-campaign-like-its-2024-for-republicans-in-midterms-5955788?utm_source=Goodevening&src_src=Goodevening&utm_campaign=gv-2025-12-09&src_cmp=gv-2025-12-09&utm_medium=email&est=6bXs4mIgVNUL6SYdtvBeOCGznYuNAeD24GMP%2FLWg%2B24u8WuK8%2B3thYnpZtLkN4gj5O%2FGMnhB" target="_blank">says the President will go on offense next year with multiple campaign stops to secure the House again.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>3) CAIR (the Council on American Islamic Relations, better known as the Council on American Islamic Rampagers) i<a href="https://www.captaink.us/p/we-would-have-lost-the-revolution?utm_campaign=email-half-post&r=dx45b&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">s threatening to sue FL governor Ron DeSantis for calling CAIR, correctly, a terrorist organization</a>. Now do the DemoKKKrats, gov.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/jasmine-crockett-walks-back-claim-hispanic-trump-voters-have-slave-mentality" target="_blank">Jazzy What-a-Crockett claims Hispanics have a "slave mentality"</a> when it comes to the GOP. Right. But blacks voting like robots fror DemoKKKrats who ignored them and utterly destroyed their families and neighborhoods, that ain't slave mentality right, Steppin?</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) The <a href="https://justthenews.com/government/security/war-department-confirms-87-narcoterrorists-killed-blasts-scummy-reporting-major?utm_source=daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter" target="_blank">War Department confirmed 87 narco terrorists</a> have been vaporized in boat attacks. Good. Vaporize them all.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) The <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/epa-wiping-mention-human-caused-161508486.html" target="_blank">EPA is wiping all mention of "human caused" climate change from its website</a>. Good.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) In a victory for President Trump, the a judge approved <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/judge-grants-doj-motion-release-grand-jury-materials/story?id=128243928" target="_blank">the DOJ's request to release all the grand jury material from the Epstein files</a> following Congress's Epstein Transparency Act. As best I can tell, this was 100% "Don't throw me in that briar patch" from Trump. I think DemoKKKrats will be badly disappointed in who comes up in those lists. It won't be Trump. For the record, I have argued for months that the only way to get this material out is to force DemoKKKrats to release it.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Update on <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/12/09/jordan-petersons-daughter-gives-hopeful-update-his-health/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">Jordan Peterson's health from his daughter, who says he is home but continuing to battle a severe autoimmune problem.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>9) Somalis may be in MN legally, but they are engaging in massive fraud on all levels, <a href="https://alphanews.org/" target="_blank">flying out "millions of dollars" from Minny' s airport in bags.</a> It also appears the Somalis <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/warlord-terror-and-taxpayer-theft-somali-scheme-allegedly-bilks-millions-from-maine-medicaid-to-fund-foreign-army?utm_source=theblaze-breaking&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Trending&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%20On%20Any%20Current%20Sending%20List&tpcc=email-breaking" target="_blank">were bilking a ME medicare fund to send money to furrin jihadists.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>10) Rather than fix crime or kick out illegals, <a href="https://www.qcnews.com/charlotte/charlotte-city-leaders-invest-3-4-million-in-marketing-to-improve-public-transit-image/" target="_blank">Charlotte city council spent $3.2m on public relations.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>11) <a href="https://davidblackmon.substack.com/cp/181150328" target="_blank">Colleges no longer offer a way out.</a> They are massive traffic jams for youts who need work.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN TRANSOID NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>12) <a href="https://chrisbray.substack.com/p/dc-circuit-on-the-transgender-ban?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=484195&post_id=181209336&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">A D.C. circuit court says The Punisher Pete Hegseth's transoid ban in the military is "likely constitutional</a>" since military leaders support it and because it advances American security.

Climate references vanished from the EPA website, 87 narco-terrorists were eliminated, and a judge approved releasing Epstein grand jury materials. Jordan Peterson is home but still battling autoimmune issues. Immigration news focused on large-scale Somali fraud in Minnesota and misplaced spending priorities in Charlotte. Cultural notes highlighted collapsing value in traditional college paths and a court backing a military transgender ban. Economically, job openings surged, data-center energy demands soared, rare-earth recovery tech advanced, farmers received $12B in aid, and Trump moved to centralize AI regulation while studies showed federal spending ballooning since 1916. Energy developments included natural-gas-powered data centers, massive U.S. oil reserve expansion, global oil gluts from sanctions, and new gas finds near Indonesia. Medical shifts showed major legal wins for religious vaccine exemptions, growing federal investigations into vaccine injuries, and continued resistance in places like New Zealand.

Around 2017 I got a call from a mutual friend who had been asked to head up Milo's new artwork department for his empire created by funding from a major conservative family whom you would know. They had pledged $10 million to his "Dangerous" site, books, and other political/cultural offensives. I was hired, at a very nice advance, to produce my biography of Ronald Reagan, which I did. Fortunately, 2/3 of the advance was front loaded. Then I started hearing about problems, including on the publishing side. Before long I learned the whole "Dangerous Books" had been canceled, as was my final advance payment. A <i><strong>wonderful and amazingly virtuous editor</strong></i> at Dangerous did not think that was right, and finished editing <i>Reagan: The American President</i> free. In lieu of my final advance payment, I was given the rights back to my book, which I then placed with Post Hill Press. It came out in 2018. Yanni went into a self-imposed exile when the wealthy family turned what was supposed to be a donation into a loan! The Reagan book came out, and to my disappointment, was not a hit. But I was well compensated by Milo and then by what subsequent sales we did have.</p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_f02db3d385cb4b0c8ba7fee269efd9c9~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_273,h_410,al_c,lg_1,q_80,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_f02db3d385cb4b0c8ba7fee269efd9c9~mv2.jpg" alt="ree" /><p><br /> </p><p>31) Actor <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-15349159/Eric-Dane-ALS-battle-panel-speech-quit-acting.html" target="_blank">Eric Dane has shared the details of his battle with ALS</a>: "I still have my brain and my speech."</p><p><br /> </p><p>32) The stricken Cleveland Browns---easily the most consistently bad team in the NFL---<a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/nfl/article-15361355/cleveland-browns-deshaun-watson-return.html" target="_blank">are ready to bring back QB DeShaun Watson</a>, whom they are paying over $230 million and who has been the target of two dozen sexual harassment suits.</p><p><br /> </p><p>33) I am still on the fence about "Avengers: Doomsday." So far, I'm not thrilled about the unofficial trailers. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vT4tyzYK2LQ" target="_blank">Here is "Critical Drinker's" assessment of what is coming. </a>Basically, two big observations: First, few women. Marvel spent five years trying to force girl bosses on us, to no effect. So they are missing. Then there are several teams who will fight Doom, and the "Fantastic Four" are gonna be the "F . . .ed Four," as they won't last a minute. "Thunderbolts" will be easily crushed. My concern is that in the attempt to bring in so many characters---essentially "Endgame," but without the previous 13 movies that provided all the background. What I've seen from the story line, it's ragged, to say the least.

Around 2017 I got a call from a mutual friend who had been asked to head up Milo's new artwork department for his empire created by funding from a major conservative family whom you would know. They had pledged $10 million to his "Dangerous" site, books, and other political/cultural offensives. I was hired, at a very nice advance, to produce my biography of Ronald Reagan, which I did. Fortunately, 2/3 of the advance was front loaded. Then I started hearing about problems, including on the publishing side. Before long I learned the whole "Dangerous Books" had been canceled, as was my final advance payment. A <i><strong>wonderful and amazingly virtuous editor</strong></i> at Dangerous did not think that was right, and finished editing <i>Reagan: The American President</i> free. In lieu of my final advance payment, I was given the rights back to my book, which I then placed with Post Hill Press. It came out in 2018. Yanni went into a self-imposed exile when the wealthy family turned what was supposed to be a donation into a loan! The Reagan book came out, and to my disappointment, was not a hit. But I was well compensated by Milo and then by what subsequent sales we did have.</p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_f02db3d385cb4b0c8ba7fee269efd9c9~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_273,h_410,al_c,lg_1,q_80,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_f02db3d385cb4b0c8ba7fee269efd9c9~mv2.jpg" alt="ree" /><p><br /> </p><p>31) Actor <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-15349159/Eric-Dane-ALS-battle-panel-speech-quit-acting.html" target="_blank">Eric Dane has shared the details of his battle with ALS</a>: "I still have my brain and my speech."</p><p><br /> </p><p>32) The stricken Cleveland Browns---easily the most consistently bad team in the NFL---<a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/nfl/article-15361355/cleveland-browns-deshaun-watson-return.html" target="_blank">are ready to bring back QB DeShaun Watson</a>, whom they are paying over $230 million and who has been the target of two dozen sexual harassment suits.</p><p><br /> </p><p>33) I am still on the fence about "Avengers: Doomsday." So far, I'm not thrilled about the unofficial trailers. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vT4tyzYK2LQ" target="_blank">Here is "Critical Drinker's" assessment of what is coming. </a>Basically, two big observations: First, few women. Marvel spent five years trying to force girl bosses on us, to no effect. So they are missing. Then there are several teams who will fight Doom, and the "Fantastic Four" are gonna be the "F . . .ed Four," as they won't last a minute. "Thunderbolts" will be easily crushed. My concern is that in the attempt to bring in so many characters---essentially "Endgame," but without the previous 13 movies that provided all the background. What I've seen from the story line, it's ragged, to say the least. Seriously, as one of the biggest Marvel fans out there, I may not even go see it.</p><p><br /> </p><p>34) <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/12/08/paramount-skydance-hostile-bid-wbd-netflix.html" target="_blank">Paramount/Skydance </a>is not giving up on its acquisition attempt for Warner Bros., warning of a "hostile takeover" after the Netflix bid was announced.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN MEDICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>35) President Trump has <a href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!6Q5e!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa25db217-45c8-4b00-b642-7093acd3aa9a_1361x1213.png?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">ordered a speedy review of the entire childhood vax schedule,</a> and RFK, Jr. says "We're on it."

      <title>Today&apos;s News, December 4-5, 2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Fakey Jake Tapper <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/12/04/jake-tapper-brian-cole-white-man/" target="_blank">called the captured Pipe Bomber, a black man, Brian ""Gnat King" Cole a "white man.</a> Hoax News is having real trouble with this guy: his family was bankrupt, having been bail bondsmen for illegal criminal alien invaders who---never saw this coming!---didn't show up to court and stuck the family with all the costs. The FBI did a remarkable job of reopening the case that the Rutabaga DOJ had no interest in pursuing. Gone unsaid was, "Why?" Grand Moff Garland did not pursue this, perhaps, because there was video that has subsequently disappeared that showed Cole not only planting the bombs, but walking up to then candidate Cackles' Harris's SUV and leaning in, <strong>talking to the occupants</strong> (i.e., either the Secret Service or Cackles herself!) Pam <a href="https://x.com/RyanAFournier/status/1996654692726657486" target="_blank">Bondi credited Dan Bongino and Kash Patel for working the evidence</a>, and noted that there was no "tip." They did it all themselves. And, <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/fbi-says-dc-pipe-bomb-suspect-brian-cole-kept-buying-bomb-parts-after-jan-6/" target="_blank">Lil' Gnat kept buying bomb parts after Patriot Day (J6).</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) This is an <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/2025-National-Security-Strategy.pdf" target="_blank">absolutely amazing document</a>, the new Trump National Security Strategy. It's worth reading the whole thing. Not only does it note that the previous administrations gave away the store, but it is a total commitment to a powerful U.S. military, to non-intervention, to Peace Through Strength, to a vibrant U.S. economic and tech sector, and to taking no crap from anyone. I have seen most of the Reagan National Security Decision Documents. They were good, but this is the greatest statement of America's strategic goals---and they are exactly what should be---that I've ever seen. My longer synopsis <a href="https://x.com/WallsOther/status/1997007110119608565" target="_blank">here on X.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Trump <a href="https://x.com/nicksortor/status/1996689141329694788" target="_blank">wins again on the national guard, this time in D.C. where an Appeals Court said "Stay!"</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>4) A New York grand Jury<a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/grand-jury-rejects-dojs-attempt-revive-fraud-case/story?id=128107484" target="_blank"> refused to re-indict Big Tish James on fraud charges.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Republicans are <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/house-republicans-to-pass-bills-aimed-at-blocking-ccp-influence-in-k-12-schools-5953625?utm_source=China&src_src=China&utm_campaign=uschina-2025-12-05&src_cmp=uschina-2025-12-05&utm_medium=email&est=PHv3SqQzYYgzDuQzx1fJuWdHtCRS3UX92zdOUzFuIW90tEGNkj5yFtC2FMe7txherp5OBcyQ" target="_blank">seeking to block ChiCom influence in K-12 education.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Seth Keshel argues that despite always being a teaser state,<a href="https://www.captaink.us/p/welcome-to-minnedishu-im-the-captain?utm_campaign=email-half-post&r=dx45b&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> Republicans should write off MN</a>. Even after some of the Skinny Fraud is cleaned out, they have emplaced election fraud right into their processes and it will be hard to overcome.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Fakey Jake Tapper <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/12/04/jake-tapper-brian-cole-white-man/" target="_blank">called the captured Pipe Bomber, a black man, Brian ""Gnat King" Cole a "white man.</a> Hoax News is having real trouble with this guy: his family was bankrupt, having been bail bondsmen for illegal criminal alien invaders who---never saw this coming!---didn't show up to court and stuck the family with all the costs. The FBI did a remarkable job of reopening the case that the Rutabaga DOJ had no interest in pursuing. Gone unsaid was, "Why?" Grand Moff Garland did not pursue this, perhaps, because there was video that has subsequently disappeared that showed Cole not only planting the bombs, but walking up to then candidate Cackles' Harris's SUV and leaning in, <strong>talking to the occupants</strong> (i.e., either the Secret Service or Cackles herself!) Pam <a href="https://x.com/RyanAFournier/status/1996654692726657486" target="_blank">Bondi credited Dan Bongino and Kash Patel for working the evidence</a>, and noted that there was no "tip." They did it all themselves. And, <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/fbi-says-dc-pipe-bomb-suspect-brian-cole-kept-buying-bomb-parts-after-jan-6/" target="_blank">Lil' Gnat kept buying bomb parts after Patriot Day (J6).</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) This is an <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/2025-National-Security-Strategy.pdf" target="_blank">absolutely amazing document</a>, the new Trump National Security Strategy. It's worth reading the whole thing. Not only does it note that the previous administrations gave away the store, but it is a total commitment to a powerful U.S. military, to non-intervention, to Peace Through Strength, to a vibrant U.S. economic and tech sector, and to taking no crap from anyone. I have seen most of the Reagan National Security Decision Documents. They were good, but this is the greatest statement of America's strategic goals---and they are exactly what should be---that I've ever seen. My longer synopsis <a href="https://x.com/WallsOther/status/1997007110119608565" target="_blank">here on X.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Trump <a href="https://x.com/nicksortor/status/1996689141329694788" target="_blank">wins again on the national guard, this time in D.C. where an Appeals Court said "Stay!"</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>4) A New York grand Jury<a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/grand-jury-rejects-dojs-attempt-revive-fraud-case/story?id=128107484" target="_blank"> refused to re-indict Big Tish James on fraud charges.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Republicans are <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/house-republicans-to-pass-bills-aimed-at-blocking-ccp-influence-in-k-12-schools-5953625?utm_source=China&src_src=China&utm_campaign=uschina-2025-12-05&src_cmp=uschina-2025-12-05&utm_medium=email&est=PHv3SqQzYYgzDuQzx1fJuWdHtCRS3UX92zdOUzFuIW90tEGNkj5yFtC2FMe7txherp5OBcyQ" target="_blank">seeking to block ChiCom influence in K-12 education.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Seth Keshel argues that despite always being a teaser state,<a href="https://www.captaink.us/p/welcome-to-minnedishu-im-the-captain?utm_campaign=email-half-post&r=dx45b&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> Republicans should write off MN</a>. Even after some of the Skinny Fraud is cleaned out, they have emplaced election fraud right into their processes and it will be hard to overcome. For example, there was a <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1996634099235090449" target="_blank">BIG election integrity win in MI, but as Keshel points out, it's only as good as its enforcement.</a> Meanwhile, Rs continue <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1997016753969193177?t=aEVhJ9lKTUOuc-0Q4YAZRA&s=19" target="_blank">crushing it in the new redistricting,</a> no matter what CA and VA do (Probably +9D) as IN added two more R districts.

      <title>Today&apos;s News, December 2-3, 2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) The TN special election brought out every panican doomspooger and his brother. "The GOP's gonna lose this race!" "Epstein! (Sqwak!) Epstein." "Israel!" Just yesterday <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/12/02/tennessee-election-republican-midterms-fallout-00674124?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"><i>Politico</i> blared "GOP FRETS</a> (get it? They are fretting---when they aren't "pouncing") dangerous result in TN". Well none of that came to pass. Matt Van Epps won by over 8 points, but the</p><p>-now creepily predictable doomspooge brigade whines "Trump won by 22.'<a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/republican-matt-van-epps-projected-winner-closely-watched/story?id=128057088" target="_blank"> Indeed this is the subheader in the All Bill Clinton News Network headline</a>! Can we talk? I mean, can we really talk? <a href="https://www.captaink.us/p/separating-fact-from-fiction-in-the?utm_campaign=email-half-post&r=dx45b&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Seth Keshel in his column today </a>explains this was not only an off-year election but an off-off-year election; that the district is heavily rural; and that typically turnout is MUCH lower for plain old "off year" elections. The only place you're going to find uber-heavy turnout when Trump isn't on the ballot is if the DemoKKKrats give away Golden Corral coupons. By the way, Seth did <i>not </i>make a prediction publicly, but in a phone convo yesterday he told me that Van Epps would with with between 5-8 points. So even Seth was a tad low. So how bad was this DemoKKKrat loss? <i>The Hill</i> said Democrats “went all in." The Democrat House Majority PAC blew $1m in the PAC's first special election, and the DCCC (all that's missing is the "P" at the end of that) also dumped $1m, plus PACs put in still more, while the useless DemoKKKrat herself also burned up $1.2 million after she said she hated Nashville and Country Music. Van Epps, at $993,000, was outspent nearly 3;1 and the DemoKKKrat STILL lost by 8. But wait. It gets even worse for DemoKKKrats. They focus tested the "affordability" message, and it flopped, even after Cackles, DNC Chairman Ken Martin, and many other big-name DemoKKKrats, with nothing to do between Thanksgiving and Christmas, appeared in TN to "get out the vote."</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Welp, surely then the voter registrations have shifted in the DemoKKKrats' favor, no? No. It is important to understand that in many cases, the November reports show a <strong>lot of voter roll purging with both sides dropping.</strong> In AZ, for example, both sides dropped, but Ds dropped a lot more. NC saw both drop, but <a href="https://x.com/PpollingNumbers/status/1995554790739443818" target="_blank">Ds fell by 10,000 more than Rs</a>. In <a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1995870570853040297?t=s90W43v7ky_XknosaLYhmQ&s=19" target="_blank">OR</a>, both parties lost but Ds lost 4,000 more than Rs; in Blue CO, <a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1995900778070888578?s=20" target="_blank">Rs lost 30,000 but Ds lost 36,000</a> for a net GOP "gain" of 6,000; same general result in <a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1995885673350566220?s=20" target="_blank">RI</a>, where Rs lost 630 but Ds dropped 3,886; meanwhile <a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1995885673350566220?s=20" target="_blank">in NM</a>, which has seen an almost 5,000 shift to Rs in the past several months, both parties gained, but Rs net gained about 400 more. <a href="https://x.com/WallsOther/status/1995641497845465434?s=20" target="_blank">LA </a>showed Rs gaining, Ds losing (about 4,000 net); FL, right on cue, adds another 10,000 net Rs. Then there is <a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1996248061954445564/photo/1" target="_blank">OK</a>, which to a lesser degree than FL, continues its deep reddening as Rs net gained 1600; <a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1996232961092624868" target="_blank">DE</a> showed a net gain of Rs near 1,000; I don't have the link for PA, but it slid a tiny bit with Ds gaining about 270. Seth Keshel looked at the key swing counties, such as Northampton and saw no movement, so likely big-city-related primary or other issues.<a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1995915869197926429?s=20" target="_blank">NJ did see Ds bounce back slightly</a> with a 1,000 gain.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) We got IN to move on its redistricting, now in the hands of the Senate after the IN House passed it, giving the Rs another seat. Now <a href="https://x.com/VoteHub/status/1995620499184124192" target="_blank">Gov. Ron DeSantis announced FL will redistrict, </a>which could be good for between 2-4. And waiting in the wings is the Supreme Court with its racial redistricting case. No one I've spoken to, including Zen Master and Seth Keshel, know whether the <strong>some or most</strong> of the currently redistricted districts will be affected, Seth thinks it's about 10.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/michael-and-susan-dell-pledge-6-25-billion-to-seed-trump-accounts-for-25-million-children-5952515?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-12-02-1&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-12-02-1&utm_medium=email&est=RsiqcBvymtFLUuXgk4kVTSwn4opL%2FoFrORWSGOrfPfNj%2FaPTkvbZd3RZgQgeD4bqe42tpmU%3D" target="_blank">Michael and Susan Dell pledged $6.25 million</a> for "start up" accounts for kids that will provide them money for college or other approved outlets when they turn 18.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Shipwreckedcrew says there are<a href="https://shipwreckedcrew.substack.com/p/there-will-be-no-bombshells-about?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=284783&post_id=180465851&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> no bombshells in the Epstein material to be released this month.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, "The Punisher" sings the Carpenters "We've Only Just Begun" as <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2025/12/02/pete-hegseth-weve-only-just-begun-striking-narco-boats/" target="_blank">he vows to accelerate strikes on drug boats.</a> Wait, what was that?

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) The TN special election brought out every panican doomspooger and his brother. "The GOP's gonna lose this race!" "Epstein! (Sqwak!) Epstein." "Israel!" Just yesterday <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/12/02/tennessee-election-republican-midterms-fallout-00674124?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"><i>Politico</i> blared "GOP FRETS</a> (get it? They are fretting---when they aren't "pouncing") dangerous result in TN". Well none of that came to pass. Matt Van Epps won by over 8 points, but the</p><p>-now creepily predictable doomspooge brigade whines "Trump won by 22.'<a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/republican-matt-van-epps-projected-winner-closely-watched/story?id=128057088" target="_blank"> Indeed this is the subheader in the All Bill Clinton News Network headline</a>! Can we talk? I mean, can we really talk? <a href="https://www.captaink.us/p/separating-fact-from-fiction-in-the?utm_campaign=email-half-post&r=dx45b&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Seth Keshel in his column today </a>explains this was not only an off-year election but an off-off-year election; that the district is heavily rural; and that typically turnout is MUCH lower for plain old "off year" elections. The only place you're going to find uber-heavy turnout when Trump isn't on the ballot is if the DemoKKKrats give away Golden Corral coupons. By the way, Seth did <i>not </i>make a prediction publicly, but in a phone convo yesterday he told me that Van Epps would with with between 5-8 points. So even Seth was a tad low. So how bad was this DemoKKKrat loss? <i>The Hill</i> said Democrats “went all in." The Democrat House Majority PAC blew $1m in the PAC's first special election, and the DCCC (all that's missing is the "P" at the end of that) also dumped $1m, plus PACs put in still more, while the useless DemoKKKrat herself also burned up $1.2 million after she said she hated Nashville and Country Music. Van Epps, at $993,000, was outspent nearly 3;1 and the DemoKKKrat STILL lost by 8. But wait. It gets even worse for DemoKKKrats. They focus tested the "affordability" message, and it flopped, even after Cackles, DNC Chairman Ken Martin, and many other big-name DemoKKKrats, with nothing to do between Thanksgiving and Christmas, appeared in TN to "get out the vote."</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Welp, surely then the voter registrations have shifted in the DemoKKKrats' favor, no? No. It is important to understand that in many cases, the November reports show a <strong>lot of voter roll purging with both sides dropping.</strong> In AZ, for example, both sides dropped, but Ds dropped a lot more. NC saw both drop, but <a href="https://x.com/PpollingNumbers/status/1995554790739443818" target="_blank">Ds fell by 10,000 more than Rs</a>. In <a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1995870570853040297?t=s90W43v7ky_XknosaLYhmQ&s=19" target="_blank">OR</a>, both parties lost but Ds lost 4,000 more than Rs; in Blue CO, <a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1995900778070888578?s=20" target="_blank">Rs lost 30,000 but Ds lost 36,000</a> for a net GOP "gain" of 6,000; same general result in <a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1995885673350566220?s=20" target="_blank">RI</a>, where Rs lost 630 but Ds dropped 3,886; meanwhile <a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1995885673350566220?s=20" target="_blank">in NM</a>, which has seen an almost 5,000 shift to Rs in the past several months, both parties gained, but Rs net gained about 400 more. <a href="https://x.com/WallsOther/status/1995641497845465434?s=20" target="_blank">LA </a>showed Rs gaining, Ds losing (about 4,000 net); FL, right on cue, adds another 10,000 net Rs. Then there is <a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1996248061954445564/photo/1" target="_blank">OK</a>, which to a lesser degree than FL, continues its deep reddening as Rs net gained 1600; <a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1996232961092624868" target="_blank">DE</a> showed a net gain of Rs near 1,000; I don't have the link for PA, but it slid a tiny bit with Ds gaining about 270. Seth Keshel looked at the key swing counties, such as Northampton and saw no movement, so likely big-city-related primary or other issues.<a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1995915869197926429?s=20" target="_blank">NJ did see Ds bounce back slightly</a> with a 1,000 gain.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) We got IN to move on its redistricting, now in the hands of the Senate after the IN House passed it, giving the Rs another seat. Now <a href="https://x.com/VoteHub/status/1995620499184124192" target="_blank">Gov. Ron DeSantis announced FL will redistrict, </a>which could be good for between 2-4. And waiting in the wings is the Supreme Court with its racial redistricting case. No one I've spoken to, including Zen Master and Seth Keshel, know whether the <strong>some or most</strong> of the currently redistricted districts will be affected, Seth thinks it's about 10.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/michael-and-susan-dell-pledge-6-25-billion-to-seed-trump-accounts-for-25-million-children-5952515?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-12-02-1&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-12-02-1&utm_medium=email&est=RsiqcBvymtFLUuXgk4kVTSwn4opL%2FoFrORWSGOrfPfNj%2FaPTkvbZd3RZgQgeD4bqe42tpmU%3D" target="_blank">Michael and Susan Dell pledged $6.25 million</a> for "start up" accounts for kids that will provide them money for college or other approved outlets when they turn 18.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Shipwreckedcrew says there are<a href="https://shipwreckedcrew.substack.com/p/there-will-be-no-bombshells-about?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=284783&post_id=180465851&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> no bombshells in the Epstein material to be released this month.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, "The Punisher" sings the Carpenters "We've Only Just Begun" as <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2025/12/02/pete-hegseth-weve-only-just-begun-striking-narco-boats/" target="_blank">he vows to accelerate strikes on drug boats.</a> Wait, what was that?

      <title>Today&apos;s News, November 25-26, 2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Several forces (and I have my suspicions who) are trying to drive muy-MAGA people out of the administration: Wiles, Patel, and Hegseth. They are using hoaxified "sources" to claim Trump is displeased. Nope. Trump said <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/11/25/watch-president-trump-shuts-down-report-hes-considering/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">he's happy with Kash. </a>And <a href="https://www.patrickruffini.com/p/the-low-propensity-voter-theory-of?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1501132&post_id=179575445&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=291ar&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">as Patrick Ruffini shows</a>, Trump isn't losing MAGA at all---but he is slipping with indies, whose <a href="https://www.wildworldofpolitics.com/blog/hashtags/1" target="_blank">#1</a> issue is the economy. Once the economy turns, they are back.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/elon-musk/x-user-location-feature-country-elon-musk-new-rcna245620" target="_blank">Nothing But Communists (NBC) is very upset that X's new policy places locations of posters in the Tweet</a>. Lo and behold, a large majority of the "influencers" anti-Trump stuff was coming from India and Israel.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) DemoKKKrats supposedly <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/11/25/democrats-eye-gains-with-rural-voters-voters-of-color-ahead-of-2026-00667746" target="_blank">are going to pour "eight figures" into the midterms---from where? They're broke</a>. The DNC just has to BORROW $15m to stay afloat.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) A judge (who else?) <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/judge-dismisses-cases-against-comey-letitia-james?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6458" target="_blank">dismissed cases against James Scrotumtoter Comey and Letitia James</a>, saying the prosecuting attorney, Lindsey Halligan, was unlawfully appointed. And this judge blocked Trump from <a href="https://amgreatness.com/2025/11/25/morning-greatness-federal-court-blocks-trump-from-dismantling-four-agencies/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=" target="_blank">eliminating four agencies.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>5) An i<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/never-had-these-problems-violent-illegal-street-takeover-rocks-queens-neighborhood?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6458" target="_blank">llegal street takeover in Queens, NY, turned violent.</a> Get ready for more with the Amazing Zohran.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) The Pentagon<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/24/us/politics/mark-kelly-pentagon-investigation.html?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> opened an investigation into the seditious moonman Sen. Mark Kelly. </a>Moonman and others did a video encouraging members of the military to disobey orders that come from President Trump. This evil demonspooge needs to be given the William Wallace treatment, sans "freedom." Not to be outdone by his fellow glandmagnet in AZ, fraudulent senator <a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/11/democratic-senator-appears-threaten-military-amid-mark-kelly/" target="_blank">El Pollo Gallego threatened any military who court martial Moonman with "consequences."</a> By the way, the soft and pudgy-looking <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/11/25/sen-ruben-gallego-trashes-own-party-in-leaked-texts-dem-men-look-like-women/" target="_blank">El Pollo Gallego trashed DemoKKKrat men, saying they look like women</a>. Well, hold on partner. Are you talking about "women" like Lia Thomas? Cus most DemoKKKrat men look like that man.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) The <a href="https://amgreatness.com/2025/11/26/pentagon-prepares-to-end-century-old-partnership-with-scouting-america-over-wokeness/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=" target="_blank">Pentagon will end a century long partnership with Scouting America over wokeness.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>8) President Trump has <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/trump-signs-executive-order-launching-genesis-mission-ai-project-rcna245600?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">launched an AI initiative he compared to the Manhattan Project.</a> Jeff Childers<a href="https://substack.com/home/post/p-179922920" target="_blank"> assessed this "Genesis" project this way</a>: If successful, the Genesis inflection point could soar far beyond “just” technology. It could reshape economies, geopolitics, education, culture, arts, and even the essential meanings of human creativity, responsibility, and discovery. It is potentially the ultimate pivot from “human-driven advancement” to “machine-accelerated civilization.” DOE must review and inspect and approval ALL research labs using AI-directed workflow. But then he says something I (and George Gilder) have said for some time: that authoritarian/totalitarian (dare we say, DemoKKKrat?) societies are not compatible with AI. It is impossible to control. As Jeff adroitly notes, Trump sees opportunity and a "profitable asset where everyone else saw bureaucratic chaos."</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) The <a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/11/los-angeles-mayor-karen-bass-takes-victory-lap/" target="_blank">ridiculous snoot-tooter mayor of New Azteca (LA) celebrates the first house rebuilt since the wildfires in Pacific Palisades last year</a>. Only problem? It was already approved for construction by a developer before the fires.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) Meanwhile, in New Kabul (NYC), <a href="https://redstate.com/brandon_morse/2025/11/25/new-york-is-cooked-mamdani-brings-in-anti-police-activist-to-transition-team-n2196556" target="_blank">the Amazing Zohran has brought an anti-cop activist onto his transition team</a>. I know, "transition team" may mean something new these days.</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) And in yet another hellhole big city, Benghazi-by-the-Lake, mayor Let's Go <a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/11/chicagos-marxist-mayor-brandon-johnson-says-imprisoning-violenct/" target="_blank">Brandon Williams says that jailing violent criminal is unholy</a>.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Several forces (and I have my suspicions who) are trying to drive muy-MAGA people out of the administration: Wiles, Patel, and Hegseth. They are using hoaxified "sources" to claim Trump is displeased. Nope. Trump said <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/11/25/watch-president-trump-shuts-down-report-hes-considering/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">he's happy with Kash. </a>And <a href="https://www.patrickruffini.com/p/the-low-propensity-voter-theory-of?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1501132&post_id=179575445&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=291ar&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">as Patrick Ruffini shows</a>, Trump isn't losing MAGA at all---but he is slipping with indies, whose <a href="https://www.wildworldofpolitics.com/blog/hashtags/1" target="_blank">#1</a> issue is the economy. Once the economy turns, they are back.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/elon-musk/x-user-location-feature-country-elon-musk-new-rcna245620" target="_blank">Nothing But Communists (NBC) is very upset that X's new policy places locations of posters in the Tweet</a>. Lo and behold, a large majority of the "influencers" anti-Trump stuff was coming from India and Israel.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) DemoKKKrats supposedly <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/11/25/democrats-eye-gains-with-rural-voters-voters-of-color-ahead-of-2026-00667746" target="_blank">are going to pour "eight figures" into the midterms---from where? They're broke</a>. The DNC just has to BORROW $15m to stay afloat.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) A judge (who else?) <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/judge-dismisses-cases-against-comey-letitia-james?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6458" target="_blank">dismissed cases against James Scrotumtoter Comey and Letitia James</a>, saying the prosecuting attorney, Lindsey Halligan, was unlawfully appointed. And this judge blocked Trump from <a href="https://amgreatness.com/2025/11/25/morning-greatness-federal-court-blocks-trump-from-dismantling-four-agencies/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=" target="_blank">eliminating four agencies.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>5) An i<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/never-had-these-problems-violent-illegal-street-takeover-rocks-queens-neighborhood?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6458" target="_blank">llegal street takeover in Queens, NY, turned violent.</a> Get ready for more with the Amazing Zohran.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) The Pentagon<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/24/us/politics/mark-kelly-pentagon-investigation.html?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> opened an investigation into the seditious moonman Sen. Mark Kelly. </a>Moonman and others did a video encouraging members of the military to disobey orders that come from President Trump. This evil demonspooge needs to be given the William Wallace treatment, sans "freedom." Not to be outdone by his fellow glandmagnet in AZ, fraudulent senator <a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/11/democratic-senator-appears-threaten-military-amid-mark-kelly/" target="_blank">El Pollo Gallego threatened any military who court martial Moonman with "consequences."</a> By the way, the soft and pudgy-looking <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/11/25/sen-ruben-gallego-trashes-own-party-in-leaked-texts-dem-men-look-like-women/" target="_blank">El Pollo Gallego trashed DemoKKKrat men, saying they look like women</a>. Well, hold on partner. Are you talking about "women" like Lia Thomas? Cus most DemoKKKrat men look like that man.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) The <a href="https://amgreatness.com/2025/11/26/pentagon-prepares-to-end-century-old-partnership-with-scouting-america-over-wokeness/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=" target="_blank">Pentagon will end a century long partnership with Scouting America over wokeness.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>8) President Trump has <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/trump-signs-executive-order-launching-genesis-mission-ai-project-rcna245600?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">launched an AI initiative he compared to the Manhattan Project.</a> Jeff Childers<a href="https://substack.com/home/post/p-179922920" target="_blank"> assessed this "Genesis" project this way</a>: If successful, the Genesis inflection point could soar far beyond “just” technology. It could reshape economies, geopolitics, education, culture, arts, and even the essential meanings of human creativity, responsibility, and discovery. It is potentially the ultimate pivot from “human-driven advancement” to “machine-accelerated civilization.” DOE must review and inspect and approval ALL research labs using AI-directed workflow. But then he says something I (and George Gilder) have said for some time: that authoritarian/totalitarian (dare we say, DemoKKKrat?) societies are not compatible with AI. It is impossible to control. As Jeff adroitly notes, Trump sees opportunity and a "profitable asset where everyone else saw bureaucratic chaos."</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) The <a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/11/los-angeles-mayor-karen-bass-takes-victory-lap/" target="_blank">ridiculous snoot-tooter mayor of New Azteca (LA) celebrates the first house rebuilt since the wildfires in Pacific Palisades last year</a>. Only problem? It was already approved for construction by a developer before the fires.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) Meanwhile, in New Kabul (NYC), <a href="https://redstate.com/brandon_morse/2025/11/25/new-york-is-cooked-mamdani-brings-in-anti-police-activist-to-transition-team-n2196556" target="_blank">the Amazing Zohran has brought an anti-cop activist onto his transition team</a>. I know, "transition team" may mean something new these days.</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) And in yet another hellhole big city, Benghazi-by-the-Lake, mayor Let's Go <a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/11/chicagos-marxist-mayor-brandon-johnson-says-imprisoning-violenct/" target="_blank">Brandon Williams says that jailing violent criminal is unholy</a>. Having them set fire to peaceful citizens, to shoot up birthday parties, or to attack people on the streets is holy, I guess.</p><p><br /> </p><p>12) Parents are <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1993364250115359016" target="_blank">suing a CO school after their teen daughter was forced to share a bed with a male.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>13) The <a href="https://americafirstreport.com/revealed-biden-regime-forced-airports-to-house-unvetted-illegal-aliens/" target="_blank">Rutabaga regime forced airports to house unvetted illegal criminal invaders.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>14) Of course they do.<a href="https://www.breitbart.com/immigration/2025/11/24/minnesota-democrats-defend-somalis-massive-fraud-investigations/" target="_blank"> Minnesota DemoKKKrats are defending the Somali fraudsters. </a>But of course <a href="https://notthebee.com/article/somali-american-man-found-guilty-of-stealing-72m-from-medicaid-walks-free-in-minnesota" target="_blank">a lib female judge overturned the conviction of one Somali spoogebucket</a> convicted of stealing $7.2m in welfare funds.</p><p><br /> </p><p>15) Another <a href="https://www.channel3000.com/news/20-arrested-in-human-trafficking-investigation/article_4160ffdd-13f2-4076-94d5-9dc31ec38e64.html" target="_blank">20 were arrested in a human trafficking sting in WI and IL</a>.

      <title>Today&apos;s News, November 22-24, 2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>*Note: I will be Steve Bannon's Thanksgiving Day guest for two full hours! Join us as we discuss Thanksgiving, America's founding and all sorts of good stuff. Also, I am appearing in two different segments coming up (but don't have a date) on Chanel Rion's news show). Meanwhile, we have FOUR great "Black Friday" offers that include autographed book packages and book/curriculum packages at <a href="http://www.wildworldofhistory.com/" target="_blank">www.wildworldofhistory.com</a>. And remember, my new X handle is @WallsOther.</p><p><br /> </p><p><br /> </p><p> </p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Do-nothing AG Pam Bondi just fixed yet another or Rutabaga's little toxic easter egg by moving two death row murderers whos sentences Rutabaga commuted to Supermax prison. Meanwhile, however, this sore is festering and the DOJ must act, as<a href="https://conservativebrief.com/records-biden-96911/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank"> still more GOP names on the "Arctic Frost" list were discovered</a>. Bondi is going to have to arrest someone on this. It's getting just too big to ignore.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) High-profile <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/i-refuse-be-battered-wife-marjorie-taylor-green-will-abandon-house-seat?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6434" target="_blank">Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene will step down from her GA house seat in January</a>, unhappy that President Trump hasn't shown her more love. In part she's miffed that the RNC hasn't given her more money. But the GOP unfortunately is full of grifters who constantly appear on X or Faux News but who get nothing done. Greene whined that she "introduced" a number of bills that went nowhere. Well, toots, I got news for ya: NOBODY'S BILL GOES ANYWHERE UNLESS YOU PERSONALLY BUILD A COALITION (which means that horrid word, "compromise"). The Marines say "improvise, adapt, and overcome." The Phoenix Suns say, "Screw the refs! We'll win anyway." But too many of our people act like they are owed leadership support (see: Masshole) without doing a single thing to bring support to the table. In the film industry no production company will talk to you unless you bring money to the table first.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/5-key-takeaways-from-trumps-white-house-meeting-with-mamdani-5948367?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">President Trump had a cordial and totally disarming meeting with the Amazing Zohran</a>, pledging to help NYC. This sets up the Amazing Zohran to take the entire fall if things go into the toilet, which they apparently already are starting to do: <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nypd-commissioner-wants-more-police-mamdani-says-current-number-sufficient" target="_blank">the Police Commissioner said "We need more cops."</a> Amazing Zohran said, "men, you have enough."</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) A liberal <a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/chicago-man-with-72-arrests-was-released-by-dem-judge-before-intentionally-setting-woman-on-fire-cmc/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank">goonspoon judge released a criminal with 72 arrests</a> in Benghazi-by-the-Lake. He promptly set a woman on fire. UPDATE: following an uproar, the <a href="https://www.wnd.com/2025/11/accused-lighting-woman-fire-judge-now-orders-man/" target="_blank">goonspoon kept this toadsmoker </a>in jail. Elsewhere in Benghazi-by-the-Lake, there is growing outrage over <a href="https://cwbchicago.com/2025/11/complete-lawlessness-critics-slam-mayor-as-loop-mob-attack-and-shootings-shock-chicago.html" target="_blank">shootings in the "Loop" during a Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony</a> where 14 were injured, <a href="https://redstate.com/bobhoge/2025/11/22/mayhem-in-the-windy-city-8-teens-shot-downtown-in-sick-scene-as-pritzker-johnson-refuse-trumps-help-n2196480" target="_blank">8 teens were shot</a> and a kid was killed. Meanwhile, "Let's Go Brandon" has a personal security team of over 100. Oh, and speaking of crime, this analysis of the national crime data (which only records crimes sent to it, meaning in liberal states, they don't share, meaning again their crime <a href="https://www.wildworldofpolitics.com/blog/hashtags/s" target="_blank">#s</a> are usually low) shows that <a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2025/11/there_s_some_interesting_data_in_the_fbi_s_2024_crime_statistics.html" target="_blank">New Mexico leads the nation in both violent and property crime.</a> Then there is this crime, where a former Phoenix hottie news anchor was charged with China Virus wire fraud scheme. I dunno. I might lean "not guilty." For her, not me.</p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_ee82fa60a89d4ddc8409884efcf89632~mv2.avif/v1/fill/w_442,h_589,al_c,lg_1,q_80,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_ee82fa60a89d4ddc8409884efcf89632~mv2.avif" alt="ree" /><p><br /> </p><p>5) Good news here, as the Supes<a href="https://protrumpnews.com/supreme-court-temporarily-reinstates-texas-map-will-remain-in-place-while-supreme-court-considers-appeal/" target="_blank"> reinstated the TX redistricting map (which was halted by another goonspoon judge)</a>. That means in all likelihood the Supes will side with TX.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) DemoKKKrats are just doing so well leading up to the midterms that they are broke, and <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/dnc-out-96945/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">had to take out a $15 million loan.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>7) It looks like <a href="https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/all-things-trump/trump-says-he-will-designate-muslim-brotherhood-terrorist" target="_blank">Trump will designate the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist org</a> this week.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) WA state seems to be in a depravity race with OR. Now the state sentencing commission <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/11/23/50-catholic-students-escape-nigeria-kidnap-captivity/" target="_blank">recommended judges lighten sentences for adults caught in on-line sex stings.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>9) Somali "immigrants" in MN have <a href="https://justthenews.com/accountability/waste-fraud-and-abuse/stunning-fraud-involving-somalis-minnesota-hand-gop-political?utm_source=daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter" target="_blank">been discovered to be involved in multiple massive fraud schemes.</a> President Trump had enough, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-ends-deportation-protections-for-somalis-in-minnesota-5948480?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">ending deportation protection for the Somalis.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>10) A raid in <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/more-than-250-arrested-in-immigration-enforcement-operation-in-north-carolina-5947127?ea_src=frontpage&ea_med=section-1?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp" target="_blank">NC saw 250 illegals arrested</a>, while <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/border-patrol-find-96879/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">Border Patrol found a 3,000 foot long "drug tunnel" under San Diego.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>11) The <a href="https://protestia.com/2025/11/21/umcs-general-council-on-finance-president-warns-the-churchs-financial-house-is-on-fire/" target="_blank">United Methodist Church is experiencing a "financial house on fire.</a>" Maybe if you preached being refined by fire once in a while, you'd have some tithes.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ECONOMIC NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>12) Zillow says <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/housing-affordability-improves-to-3-year-high-as-mortgage-rate-dips-zillow-5948544?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">housing affordability has improved to a three-year high.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>13) Massive <a href="https://www.westernjournal.com/near-data-center-prepare-blackouts-winter/" target="_blank">winter blackouts may be coming due to data centers' heavy energy use</a>. Well, I told ya this was coming. Next will be water.</p><p><br /> </p><p>14) The <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/faa-scrambles-hire-8900-air-traffic-controllers-2028-shortage-reaches-crisis-levels" target="_blank">FAA is looking to hire 8,900 air traffic controllers</a> in the next three years due to a looming crisis.</p><p><br /> </p><p>15) With the SpewMore Shutdown over, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/11/23/thanksgiving-air-travel-after-shutdown.html" target="_blank">airlines are expecting a record number of travelers this Thanksgiving.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>16) <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/french-general-we-must-be-ready-lose-our-children-war-russia?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6434" target="_blank">A French general said France must be prepared to lose its children in a war with Russia.</a> Otherwise he said, "we are weak." I guess with the declining birth rates in France they'd be ready to lose all three kids?</p><p><br /> </p><p>17) <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6sdJTDrvOY" target="_blank">This analysis of Hitler's DNA</a>, which was obtained through blood on the couch where he shot himself and living relatives showed he was nuttier than a barn owl on meth. It turns out the OSS (the CIA of the day) actually was right on about its assessment of his mental condition.</p><p><br /> </p><p>18) The <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/11/23/50-catholic-students-escape-nigeria-kidnap-captivity/" target="_blank">50 kidnapped Nigerian Catholic school kids somehow managed to escape, </a>but the story has no details how.</p><p><br /> </p><p>19) Mediocre Britain's <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/how-uk-drug-dealing-fueled-russias-war-machine-5947434?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-11-23&src_cmp=mb-2025-11-23&utm_medium=email&est=uNfJ37rdyzHP%2FYkCjf4v%2FF0pKvGk9BDBXsMx7%2FXU40Sexs1bL8vSoPt5ho9OyPJ6I48FQdA%3D" target="_blank">crime agency</a> said two different criminal networks' drug trade had fueled Russia's "war machine."</p><p><br /> </p><p>20) Again, President Trump is right, <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/trump-state-department-mass-migration-us-allies-rubio-11088217?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">telling the Euros that mass migration is an existential threat</a>. I think it is way too late for Br., Fr., and Ger. Maybe some of the Low Countries, some of the Balkan states have a chance.</p><p><br /> </p><p>21) The Huns have had some money problems in the last 100 years. <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/almost-every-german-city-now-verge-bankruptcy?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6440" target="_blank">Now most major German cities are on the verge of bankruptcy</a>.

People always ask how I became a Cowboy fan---I was born and raised in Arizona. In the 1960s when I began paying attention to football, we would get the Cowboys feed, not the (then) L.A. Rams feed. Dunno why. Anyway, on top of that, they were terrible, but had the coolest uniforms with the stars. I always like an underdog so it was a marriage made in heaven. Oddly, I also adopted the New York Yankees about the same time because they had started a bad slide from the Mickey Mantle/Yogi Berra/Whitey Ford/Roger Maris era and, at the time, they (the winningest team in baseball history) were the underdog. And the Phoenix Suns? As you may know, they were an expansion team and got a coin flip with the other expansion team, the Milwaukee Bucks, for the <a href="https://www.wildworldofpolitics.com/blog/hashtags/1" target="_blank">#1</a> college player that year, a tiny little guy named Lew Alcindor, better known now as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>*Note: I will be Steve Bannon's Thanksgiving Day guest for two full hours! Join us as we discuss Thanksgiving, America's founding and all sorts of good stuff. Also, I am appearing in two different segments coming up (but don't have a date) on Chanel Rion's news show). Meanwhile, we have FOUR great "Black Friday" offers that include autographed book packages and book/curriculum packages at <a href="http://www.wildworldofhistory.com/" target="_blank">www.wildworldofhistory.com</a>. And remember, my new X handle is @WallsOther.</p><p><br /> </p><p><br /> </p><p> </p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Do-nothing AG Pam Bondi just fixed yet another or Rutabaga's little toxic easter egg by moving two death row murderers whos sentences Rutabaga commuted to Supermax prison. Meanwhile, however, this sore is festering and the DOJ must act, as<a href="https://conservativebrief.com/records-biden-96911/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank"> still more GOP names on the "Arctic Frost" list were discovered</a>. Bondi is going to have to arrest someone on this. It's getting just too big to ignore.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) High-profile <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/i-refuse-be-battered-wife-marjorie-taylor-green-will-abandon-house-seat?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6434" target="_blank">Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene will step down from her GA house seat in January</a>, unhappy that President Trump hasn't shown her more love. In part she's miffed that the RNC hasn't given her more money. But the GOP unfortunately is full of grifters who constantly appear on X or Faux News but who get nothing done. Greene whined that she "introduced" a number of bills that went nowhere. Well, toots, I got news for ya: NOBODY'S BILL GOES ANYWHERE UNLESS YOU PERSONALLY BUILD A COALITION (which means that horrid word, "compromise"). The Marines say "improvise, adapt, and overcome." The Phoenix Suns say, "Screw the refs! We'll win anyway." But too many of our people act like they are owed leadership support (see: Masshole) without doing a single thing to bring support to the table. In the film industry no production company will talk to you unless you bring money to the table first.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/5-key-takeaways-from-trumps-white-house-meeting-with-mamdani-5948367?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">President Trump had a cordial and totally disarming meeting with the Amazing Zohran</a>, pledging to help NYC. This sets up the Amazing Zohran to take the entire fall if things go into the toilet, which they apparently already are starting to do: <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nypd-commissioner-wants-more-police-mamdani-says-current-number-sufficient" target="_blank">the Police Commissioner said "We need more cops."</a> Amazing Zohran said, "men, you have enough."</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) A liberal <a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/chicago-man-with-72-arrests-was-released-by-dem-judge-before-intentionally-setting-woman-on-fire-cmc/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank">goonspoon judge released a criminal with 72 arrests</a> in Benghazi-by-the-Lake. He promptly set a woman on fire. UPDATE: following an uproar, the <a href="https://www.wnd.com/2025/11/accused-lighting-woman-fire-judge-now-orders-man/" target="_blank">goonspoon kept this toadsmoker </a>in jail. Elsewhere in Benghazi-by-the-Lake, there is growing outrage over <a href="https://cwbchicago.com/2025/11/complete-lawlessness-critics-slam-mayor-as-loop-mob-attack-and-shootings-shock-chicago.html" target="_blank">shootings in the "Loop" during a Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony</a> where 14 were injured, <a href="https://redstate.com/bobhoge/2025/11/22/mayhem-in-the-windy-city-8-teens-shot-downtown-in-sick-scene-as-pritzker-johnson-refuse-trumps-help-n2196480" target="_blank">8 teens were shot</a> and a kid was killed. Meanwhile, "Let's Go Brandon" has a personal security team of over 100. Oh, and speaking of crime, this analysis of the national crime data (which only records crimes sent to it, meaning in liberal states, they don't share, meaning again their crime <a href="https://www.wildworldofpolitics.com/blog/hashtags/s" target="_blank">#s</a> are usually low) shows that <a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2025/11/there_s_some_interesting_data_in_the_fbi_s_2024_crime_statistics.html" target="_blank">New Mexico leads the nation in both violent and property crime.</a> Then there is this crime, where a former Phoenix hottie news anchor was charged with China Virus wire fraud scheme. I dunno. I might lean "not guilty." For her, not me.</p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_ee82fa60a89d4ddc8409884efcf89632~mv2.avif/v1/fill/w_442,h_589,al_c,lg_1,q_80,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_ee82fa60a89d4ddc8409884efcf89632~mv2.avif" alt="ree" /><p><br /> </p><p>5) Good news here, as the Supes<a href="https://protrumpnews.com/supreme-court-temporarily-reinstates-texas-map-will-remain-in-place-while-supreme-court-considers-appeal/" target="_blank"> reinstated the TX redistricting map (which was halted by another goonspoon judge)</a>. That means in all likelihood the Supes will side with TX.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) DemoKKKrats are just doing so well leading up to the midterms that they are broke, and <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/dnc-out-96945/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">had to take out a $15 million loan.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>7) It looks like <a href="https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/all-things-trump/trump-says-he-will-designate-muslim-brotherhood-terrorist" target="_blank">Trump will designate the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist org</a> this week.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) WA state seems to be in a depravity race with OR. Now the state sentencing commission <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/11/23/50-catholic-students-escape-nigeria-kidnap-captivity/" target="_blank">recommended judges lighten sentences for adults caught in on-line sex stings.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>9) Somali "immigrants" in MN have <a href="https://justthenews.com/accountability/waste-fraud-and-abuse/stunning-fraud-involving-somalis-minnesota-hand-gop-political?utm_source=daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter" target="_blank">been discovered to be involved in multiple massive fraud schemes.</a> President Trump had enough, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-ends-deportation-protections-for-somalis-in-minnesota-5948480?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">ending deportation protection for the Somalis.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>10) A raid in <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/more-than-250-arrested-in-immigration-enforcement-operation-in-north-carolina-5947127?ea_src=frontpage&ea_med=section-1?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp" target="_blank">NC saw 250 illegals arrested</a>, while <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/border-patrol-find-96879/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">Border Patrol found a 3,000 foot long "drug tunnel" under San Diego.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>11) The <a href="https://protestia.com/2025/11/21/umcs-general-council-on-finance-president-warns-the-churchs-financial-house-is-on-fire/" target="_blank">United Methodist Church is experiencing a "financial house on fire.</a>" Maybe if you preached being refined by fire once in a while, you'd have some tithes.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ECONOMIC NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>12) Zillow says <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/housing-affordability-improves-to-3-year-high-as-mortgage-rate-dips-zillow-5948544?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">housing affordability has improved to a three-year high.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>13) Massive <a href="https://www.westernjournal.com/near-data-center-prepare-blackouts-winter/" target="_blank">winter blackouts may be coming due to data centers' heavy energy use</a>. Well, I told ya this was coming. Next will be water.</p><p><br /> </p><p>14) The <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/faa-scrambles-hire-8900-air-traffic-controllers-2028-shortage-reaches-crisis-levels" target="_blank">FAA is looking to hire 8,900 air traffic controllers</a> in the next three years due to a looming crisis.</p><p><br /> </p><p>15) With the SpewMore Shutdown over, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/11/23/thanksgiving-air-travel-after-shutdown.html" target="_blank">airlines are expecting a record number of travelers this Thanksgiving.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>16) <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/french-general-we-must-be-ready-lose-our-children-war-russia?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6434" target="_blank">A French general said France must be prepared to lose its children in a war with Russia.</a> Otherwise he said, "we are weak." I guess with the declining birth rates in France they'd be ready to lose all three kids?</p><p><br /> </p><p>17) <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6sdJTDrvOY" target="_blank">This analysis of Hitler's DNA</a>, which was obtained through blood on the couch where he shot himself and living relatives showed he was nuttier than a barn owl on meth. It turns out the OSS (the CIA of the day) actually was right on about its assessment of his mental condition.</p><p><br /> </p><p>18) The <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/11/23/50-catholic-students-escape-nigeria-kidnap-captivity/" target="_blank">50 kidnapped Nigerian Catholic school kids somehow managed to escape, </a>but the story has no details how.</p><p><br /> </p><p>19) Mediocre Britain's <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/how-uk-drug-dealing-fueled-russias-war-machine-5947434?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-11-23&src_cmp=mb-2025-11-23&utm_medium=email&est=uNfJ37rdyzHP%2FYkCjf4v%2FF0pKvGk9BDBXsMx7%2FXU40Sexs1bL8vSoPt5ho9OyPJ6I48FQdA%3D" target="_blank">crime agency</a> said two different criminal networks' drug trade had fueled Russia's "war machine."</p><p><br /> </p><p>20) Again, President Trump is right, <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/trump-state-department-mass-migration-us-allies-rubio-11088217?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">telling the Euros that mass migration is an existential threat</a>. I think it is way too late for Br., Fr., and Ger. Maybe some of the Low Countries, some of the Balkan states have a chance.</p><p><br /> </p><p>21) The Huns have had some money problems in the last 100 years. <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/almost-every-german-city-now-verge-bankruptcy?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6440" target="_blank">Now most major German cities are on the verge of bankruptcy</a>. Migrants, welfare, and green will do that to you.</p><p><br /> </p><p>22) <a href="https://justthenews.com/nation/religion/italy-moves-follow-european-neighbors-banning-religious-garb-burqas-hide-identity" target="_blank">Italy will join other Euro nations in banning the burqa.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>23) There is a <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/china/chinas-manufacturing-exodus-accelerating-amid-deteriorating-economy-5948530?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-11-24&src_cmp=mb-2025-11-24&utm_medium=email&est=U3YBhdquV36%2B8uCtSWBHC46GcC1QCkG5WwJCEul5lcnMpo9%2FzrrP7AKhPJeEjT5rD%2Fi3ycI%3D" target="_blank">manufacturing exodus from Chy-na.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>24) Well, well. <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15321353/Saudi-Arabia-eases-strict-booze-ban-non-Muslim-premium-residents-allowed-buy-alcohol-countrys-liquor-store.html" target="_blank">Saudi Arabia will now let non-Muslim "premium residents"</a> to buy booze in the country.</p><p><br /> </p><p>25) The grotesque and slimy government of Brazil is channeling Rutabaga, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/brazils-bolsonaro-detained-after-court-rules-supporters-vigil-posed-risk-of-escape-5948591?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-11-23&src_cmp=mb-2025-11-23&utm_medium=email&est=Qdui0K1JvrOW7H0uYZsLmEH%2FJpmI%2BhyRNSdp1jHP6uDeoGs92a6caPxsDGpYImDjPRpsS0o%3D" target="_blank">arresting former President Jair Bolsonaro as a "flight risk."</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>26) A Singapore-based company had an <a href="https://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2025/11/20/public-interest-research-group-ai-powered-teddy-bear-kumma-sex-knives/3181763659965/" target="_blank">AI powered talking Teddy bear.

People always ask how I became a Cowboy fan---I was born and raised in Arizona. In the 1960s when I began paying attention to football, we would get the Cowboys feed, not the (then) L.A. Rams feed. Dunno why. Anyway, on top of that, they were terrible, but had the coolest uniforms with the stars. I always like an underdog so it was a marriage made in heaven. Oddly, I also adopted the New York Yankees about the same time because they had started a bad slide from the Mickey Mantle/Yogi Berra/Whitey Ford/Roger Maris era and, at the time, they (the winningest team in baseball history) were the underdog. And the Phoenix Suns? As you may know, they were an expansion team and got a coin flip with the other expansion team, the Milwaukee Bucks, for the <a href="https://www.wildworldofpolitics.com/blog/hashtags/1" target="_blank">#1</a> college player that year, a tiny little guy named Lew Alcindor, better known now as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. And the Suns picked wrong. The Bucks won the toss. And Phoenix is still looking for its first NBA championship.</p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_bc7b88db5d2c4c4f9977300134148adf~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_90,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_bc7b88db5d2c4c4f9977300134148adf~mv2.png" alt="ree" />

      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/trump-orders-doj-96848/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">AG Pam Bondi says she will obey Trump's instructions to release all Epstein files within 30 days.</a> This was a master class in manipulating the pathetic DemoKKKrats. Trump called the files a "hoax" and acted like he wanted to talk about other issues. In fact, he was baiting the DemoKKKrats to demand release of the files that incriminated . . . THEM.

      <title>Today&apos;s News, November 18-19, 2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) As I predicted, the "Tar Baby" strategy of President Trump regarding the Epstein files is under way. Now it was revealed that <a href="https://x.com/JesseBWatters/status/1990967507767996476?s=20" target="_blank">Hakeem "Movin' on Up" Jeffries was a dinner guest of Epstein's</a>; and that Rep. Jamie "The Lil' Racal" Raskin <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/faces-legal-firestorm-96791/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">is under fire for publishing emails </a>from Ghislaine Maxwell while she was in prison. DemoKKKrat mouthpiece and overall chortlebucket<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/larry-summers-goes-hiding-messages-sought-epsteins-advice-cheating-daughter-ccp-official?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6402" target="_blank"> Larry Summers</a> went into hiding after Epstein messages showed him messaging one of Epstein's er, "clients." It was also revealed that <a href="https://justthenews.com/accountability/political-ethics/leading-dems-fundraisers-solicited-jeffrey-epstein-years-after-he?utm_source=daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter" target="_blank">leading DemoKKKrat fundraising groups were still hitting up Epstein after he was convicted.</a> Not surprisingly, <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/11/19/trump-white-house-train-attacks-on-democrats-in-wake-of-epstein-vote-00657796?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"><i>Politico </i>is warning DemoKKKrats this will backfire.</a> As I mentioned, Larry (Cruel) Summers may be the first to go. He is hiding and apparently <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/19/us/harvard-summers-epstein-investigation.html?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Harvard is opening an investigation into him.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Another Hoax News Spoogefest over Trump calling a reporter "Piggy." Er, no.<a href="https://x.com/MichelleMaxwell/status/1990958349756604526/photo/1" target="_blank"> Her name is . . . PEGGY.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>3) President Trump's <a href="https://x.com/OpenSourceZone/status/1991170067539628327" target="_blank">approval on foreign policy is up like a rocket.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>4) I think<a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/just-in-top-senators-urge-military-to-defy-trump-administration-cmc/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank"> this is called treason, and in a just world, these DemoKKKrat senators would face the gallows</a> for urging members of the military to defy Trump.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) In a White House meeting with Mohammed Bin Salman, Saudi Arabia's ruler, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-designates-saudi-arabia-major-non-nato-ally-during-crown-prince-white-house-visit" target="_blank">President Trump called SA our major "non-NATO ally."</a> Maybe that's cuz he pro9mised over $1 trillion in investments into the U.S.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/federal-court-blocks-texass-new-house-map-favoring-republicans-5946500?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">A federal judge blocked the TX redistricting plan</a> as "racist." As <a href="https://www.captaink.us/p/get-your-minds-right-for-2026-midterms" target="_blank">Seth Keshel</a> noted, it's unlikely that CA and TX will go separate ways. Either the Supes will validate both redistricting, which is a wash, or neither, which is a wash. Currently Seth has the House in 2025 coming down to four or five tossup ("decisive") seats. However, the Supes could deal with TX under the racial redistricting case in front of them and then handle CA separately on its own state's legal merits. So I think there is a way to gain TX and Ds to lose CA.

Take my little burb of Chandler, AZ (pop. about 250,000): Chandler public school occupancy rates have collapsed. Roughly 1/3 of elementary schools are below 60% "occupancy" and another third are only at 60-80% occupancy. In other words, only 20% of Chandler schools are full.

The problem was that the film about the Nuremberg trial of Herman Goering and 21 other Nazi uppity-ups never really got to the key question Goering raised in his defense, namely that the Nazis' concentration camps were no different than the bombing of Hamburg or the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. They are galactically different, but Hollywood hates America so much that even now it can't figure out that distinction.</p><p><br /> </p><p>Larry Schweikart (@LarrySchwe94560)</p><p><br /> </p><p>Rock drummer, Film maker,NYTimes <a href="https://www.wildworldofpolitics.com/blog/hashtags/1" target="_blank">#1</a> bestselling author</p><p><br /> </p><p>Link for Patriot’s History Vimeo</p><p><br /> </p><p><a href="https://vimeo.com/40949423" target="_blank">https://vimeo.com/40949423</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>Link to buy larry a coffee</p><p><br /> </p><p><a href="http://buymeacoffee.com/larrys" target="_blank">http://buymeacoffee.com/larrys</a></p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_bc7b88db5d2c4c4f9977300134148adf~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_90,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_bc7b88db5d2c4c4f9977300134148adf~mv2.png" alt="ree" />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) As I predicted, the "Tar Baby" strategy of President Trump regarding the Epstein files is under way. Now it was revealed that <a href="https://x.com/JesseBWatters/status/1990967507767996476?s=20" target="_blank">Hakeem "Movin' on Up" Jeffries was a dinner guest of Epstein's</a>; and that Rep. Jamie "The Lil' Racal" Raskin <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/faces-legal-firestorm-96791/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">is under fire for publishing emails </a>from Ghislaine Maxwell while she was in prison. DemoKKKrat mouthpiece and overall chortlebucket<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/larry-summers-goes-hiding-messages-sought-epsteins-advice-cheating-daughter-ccp-official?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6402" target="_blank"> Larry Summers</a> went into hiding after Epstein messages showed him messaging one of Epstein's er, "clients." It was also revealed that <a href="https://justthenews.com/accountability/political-ethics/leading-dems-fundraisers-solicited-jeffrey-epstein-years-after-he?utm_source=daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter" target="_blank">leading DemoKKKrat fundraising groups were still hitting up Epstein after he was convicted.</a> Not surprisingly, <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/11/19/trump-white-house-train-attacks-on-democrats-in-wake-of-epstein-vote-00657796?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"><i>Politico </i>is warning DemoKKKrats this will backfire.</a> As I mentioned, Larry (Cruel) Summers may be the first to go. He is hiding and apparently <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/19/us/harvard-summers-epstein-investigation.html?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Harvard is opening an investigation into him.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Another Hoax News Spoogefest over Trump calling a reporter "Piggy." Er, no.<a href="https://x.com/MichelleMaxwell/status/1990958349756604526/photo/1" target="_blank"> Her name is . . . PEGGY.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>3) President Trump's <a href="https://x.com/OpenSourceZone/status/1991170067539628327" target="_blank">approval on foreign policy is up like a rocket.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>4) I think<a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/just-in-top-senators-urge-military-to-defy-trump-administration-cmc/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank"> this is called treason, and in a just world, these DemoKKKrat senators would face the gallows</a> for urging members of the military to defy Trump.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) In a White House meeting with Mohammed Bin Salman, Saudi Arabia's ruler, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-designates-saudi-arabia-major-non-nato-ally-during-crown-prince-white-house-visit" target="_blank">President Trump called SA our major "non-NATO ally."</a> Maybe that's cuz he pro9mised over $1 trillion in investments into the U.S.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/federal-court-blocks-texass-new-house-map-favoring-republicans-5946500?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">A federal judge blocked the TX redistricting plan</a> as "racist." As <a href="https://www.captaink.us/p/get-your-minds-right-for-2026-midterms" target="_blank">Seth Keshel</a> noted, it's unlikely that CA and TX will go separate ways. Either the Supes will validate both redistricting, which is a wash, or neither, which is a wash. Currently Seth has the House in 2025 coming down to four or five tossup ("decisive") seats. However, the Supes could deal with TX under the racial redistricting case in front of them and then handle CA separately on its own state's legal merits. So I think there is a way to gain TX and Ds to lose CA.

Roughly 1/3 of elementary schools are below 60% "occupancy" and another third are only at 60-80% occupancy. In other words, only 20% of Chandler schools are full.

They are galactically different, but Hollywood hates America so much that even now it can't figure out that distinction.</p><p><br /> </p><p>Larry Schweikart (@LarrySchwe94560)</p><p><br /> </p><p>Rock drummer, Film maker,NYTimes <a href="https://www.wildworldofpolitics.com/blog/hashtags/1" target="_blank">#1</a> bestselling author</p><p><br /> </p><p>Link for Patriot’s History Vimeo</p><p><br /> </p><p><a href="https://vimeo.com/40949423" target="_blank">https://vimeo.com/40949423</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>Link to buy larry a coffee</p><p><br /> </p><p><a href="http://buymeacoffee.com/larrys" target="_blank">http://buymeacoffee.com/larrys</a></p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_bc7b88db5d2c4c4f9977300134148adf~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_90,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_bc7b88db5d2c4c4f9977300134148adf~mv2.png" alt="ree" />

      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) If your only access to political news was X, which has again become a complete sewer closer to what Elon Musk inherited than what he turned it into for a while, you'd think that the Epstein files are "gonna get" Trump. Reality, of course, is abou 180 degrees different. The more that emerges, the worse it looks for DemoKKKrats. So, if I'm right, and Trump was just (once again) setting up the incompetent toadstools at the DemoKKKrat Party, he would suddenly pivot <a href="https://amgreatness.com/2025/11/17/morning-greatness-trump-calls-for-republicans-to-vote-to-release-epstein-files/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=" target="_blank">and call for a full release of all Epstein docs from the House, right?</a> Do tell.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Some of you may recall that about four years ago, I wrote a piece called "The Suicide of the House is now Complete," in which I argued that the inability of the House (now with the Senate as well) to pass simple budget bills has almost made these institutions irrelevant. DemoKKKrat partisanship has gotten to the point that they are no longer even really involved in legislation. They obstruct, throw tantrums, then take their bath as instructed. <a href="https://www.nationaljournal.com/s/730170/is-the-lack-of-trust-in-government-about-polarization-or-disconnection/" target="_blank">Now Gallup confirms</a>, noting that trust in the executive branch has actually <i>increased</i> among those in the president's party from 75% in the 1970s to 87% in the 2020s. In other words, neither party trusts the legislative branch to do a damned thing.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Trump says he will sue the Brit Bolshevik Cabal (BBC) for libel in re-editing his interviews. <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-says-he-will-sue-bbc-for-up-to-5-billion-next-week-over-jan-6-speech-edit-5945121?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-11-15-3&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-11-15-3&utm_medium=email&est=QQA02LojNwY1AyHOuVBn72yam%2BFyGpMSVjaU84PfrpC2EwEKdctDwM4GF07sPRCZ%2FdroPHeV" target="_blank">His current number is $5 <i>billion</i></a><i>.</i> Now, the fact that 2 people have resigned and that the BBC has already apologized probably caused BBC lawyers, unless they were Franklin and Bash, to commit suicide. When this is over, Trump will fleece the BBC for enough money to open a Trump Presidential Library in all 57 states and probably get a player to be named later.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) There are many, many ways for Rs to win. The Scott Presler approach is to register the hell out of a population and overwhelm them.<a href="https://www.captaink.us/p/i-have-a-winning-strategy-for-local?utm_campaign=email-half-post&r=dx45b&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> Seth Keshel advised a fellow running for reelection in an Eastern WA city council race.</a> The result? The guy won with a shift of 22 points to the right.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) With the dominance of President Trump, the extinction of the DemoKKKrat Party, the rise of AI, and the transformation of world trade after the China Virus, it's hard to say this is one of the "top stories" of the past 25 years. But it is: the climate kooks are coming apart. Here, the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/07/us/politics/sierra-club-social-justice.html?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"><i>NYSlimes</i> recounts the collapse of the Sierra Club, </a>They lost 60% of their members since 2019; spent $3.6 million trying to stop Trump in 2020, and its overall budget plummeted by $40 million.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) If your only access to political news was X, which has again become a complete sewer closer to what Elon Musk inherited than what he turned it into for a while, you'd think that the Epstein files are "gonna get" Trump. Reality, of course, is abou 180 degrees different. The more that emerges, the worse it looks for DemoKKKrats. So, if I'm right, and Trump was just (once again) setting up the incompetent toadstools at the DemoKKKrat Party, he would suddenly pivot <a href="https://amgreatness.com/2025/11/17/morning-greatness-trump-calls-for-republicans-to-vote-to-release-epstein-files/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=" target="_blank">and call for a full release of all Epstein docs from the House, right?</a> Do tell.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Some of you may recall that about four years ago, I wrote a piece called "The Suicide of the House is now Complete," in which I argued that the inability of the House (now with the Senate as well) to pass simple budget bills has almost made these institutions irrelevant. DemoKKKrat partisanship has gotten to the point that they are no longer even really involved in legislation. They obstruct, throw tantrums, then take their bath as instructed. <a href="https://www.nationaljournal.com/s/730170/is-the-lack-of-trust-in-government-about-polarization-or-disconnection/" target="_blank">Now Gallup confirms</a>, noting that trust in the executive branch has actually <i>increased</i> among those in the president's party from 75% in the 1970s to 87% in the 2020s. In other words, neither party trusts the legislative branch to do a damned thing.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Trump says he will sue the Brit Bolshevik Cabal (BBC) for libel in re-editing his interviews. <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-says-he-will-sue-bbc-for-up-to-5-billion-next-week-over-jan-6-speech-edit-5945121?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-11-15-3&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-11-15-3&utm_medium=email&est=QQA02LojNwY1AyHOuVBn72yam%2BFyGpMSVjaU84PfrpC2EwEKdctDwM4GF07sPRCZ%2FdroPHeV" target="_blank">His current number is $5 <i>billion</i></a><i>.</i> Now, the fact that 2 people have resigned and that the BBC has already apologized probably caused BBC lawyers, unless they were Franklin and Bash, to commit suicide. When this is over, Trump will fleece the BBC for enough money to open a Trump Presidential Library in all 57 states and probably get a player to be named later.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) There are many, many ways for Rs to win. The Scott Presler approach is to register the hell out of a population and overwhelm them.<a href="https://www.captaink.us/p/i-have-a-winning-strategy-for-local?utm_campaign=email-half-post&r=dx45b&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> Seth Keshel advised a fellow running for reelection in an Eastern WA city council race.</a> The result? The guy won with a shift of 22 points to the right.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) With the dominance of President Trump, the extinction of the DemoKKKrat Party, the rise of AI, and the transformation of world trade after the China Virus, it's hard to say this is one of the "top stories" of the past 25 years. But it is: the climate kooks are coming apart. Here, the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/07/us/politics/sierra-club-social-justice.html?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"><i>NYSlimes</i> recounts the collapse of the Sierra Club, </a>They lost 60% of their members since 2019; spent $3.6 million trying to stop Trump in 2020, and its overall budget plummeted by $40 million.

      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/house-set-end-historic-shutdown-after-democrats-cave?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6340" target="_blank">Congress reopened the gubment,</a> and President Trump signed the bill. The DemoKKKrats were getting crushed on this issue, regardless of what some of the Hoax Polls said. <a href="https://istandforfreedom.com/prog-schumer-ouster-shutdown/?utm_source=actengage&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Many want to boot SpewMore as the Minority leade</a>r. Then, having reopened the government, <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/11/13/dhs-sec-kristi-noem-hands-out-10000-bonus-checks-to-tsa-agents-for-exemplary-service-during-shutdown/" target="_blank">DHS Secretary Kristi Noem gave out $10,000 bonus checks to Air Traffic Controllers who stayed on the job</a>. This is the way. But Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy says it may be <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/duffy-pain-air-traffic-back-normal/story?id=127422875" target="_blank">a while before air travel is restored</a> after the SpewMore Shutdown. And <a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/story/the-government-shutdown-is-ending-heres-how-stocks-performed-and-what-could-come-next-for-the-economy-f107b0e4?g=94f85571-bb5b-4f62-a26d-12ade31a459c&mod=mw_rss_bulletins" target="_blank">another shutdown is looming in just 10 weeks</a>, because the DemoKKKrats cannot act like civil human beings, only rabid anti-Trump terrorgerbils.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) The second biggest story was that after adding AZ's new Congresswoman (D) Grijalva, <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/new-epstein-files-drop-except-dems-and-they-involve-trump?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6330" target="_blank">the House voted to release thousands of Epstein emails, which again showed Trump had never been to Epstein Island</a>, had an arms-length relationship with the Primary Panderer Pedophile. This is working out to be one of Trump's most genius moves ever. Now DemoKKKrats are voting to make public documents that incriminate the Party of Terror. In 40 years of following politics I've never seen either party this stupid. <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/11/12/politics/epstein-files-house-vote?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Speaker Johnson says that the House may vote this week to compel the DOJ to release everything Epstein,</a> in the biggest "Don't throw me in the briar patch" move in history. Oh, and remember "no tax on tips?" <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/temporary-crumbs-out-of-touch-democrat-gives-stunning-rebuke-of-trump-s-no-tax-on-tips-policy?utm_source=theblaze-breaking&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Active%20Trending&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%20TheBlaze%20Breaking%20News&tpcc=email-breaking" target="_blank">Out of touch DemoKKKrats now attacking that.</a> In NV. Lesse how that works out for ya.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) This is actually a pretty big deal. <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/11/13/trump-bbc-apology-panorama" target="_blank">Last week the British Bolshevik Conclave (BBC) had to withdraw a documentary about President Trump</a> that it produced that lied by stitching together multiple speech segments to make it appear that Trump told January 6 Patriot Day supporters to get all jiggy. Trump's lawyers, in the Hoax News media's vernacular, "pounced" and promised swift legal action. BBC apologized (kinda, claiming it was unintentional, but two BBC "leaders" resigned and promised not to re-air the program. Resignations, promises, and apologies sure seem to scream GUILTY to me. Initially, the BBC lawyers offered no compensation with their apology, but as lawyer Jeff Childers notes in his daily "Coffee & Covid" column, this is almost certainly the first low-ball (or zero ball) offer because they know they are going to have to pay, a lot. Trump has already humbled CBS, CNN, ABC and many others <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cd9kqz1yyxkt?post=asset%3A5754383e-24d9-463f-afaa-098ccda2f8ce#post" target="_blank">and is seeking $1 billion</a>. This settlement should pretty well ensure a Trump Presidential Library in all 57 states. But the schluzz from the English bog marshes hadn't even settled when <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/11/13/bbc-doctored-trump-speech-second-time-newsnight/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"><i>another</i> Brit outlet was found to have doctored another Trump speech. </a>So we probably ought to run a poll at this point: Which territory of Mediocre Britain should Trump demand next? a) Wales b) Scotland c) Caribbean Islands d) a knighthood for Trump?</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Fetterman Massacre, the Human Ox, <a href="https://www.axios.com/local/pittsburgh/2025/11/13/fetterman-hospitalized-heart-fibrillation" target="_blank">was hospitalized after a fall related to his heart issues. He had some injuries to his face</a>. You know me. I despise DemoKKKrats, but I get the feeling Oxie is indeed searching for truth, that in many ways he really regrets being a DemoKKKrat. I will pray for his full recovery, even if he has to retire and be replaced with some reptilian Leninist, so that he may be with his kids. I urge you all to do so as well.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Well, well. <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/former-capitol-police-officer-a-forensic-match-for-jan-6-pipe-bomber-sources-say?utm_source=theblaze-breaking&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=ALL%20EMAILS%20-%20j6%20pipe%20bomb&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%20On%20Any%20Current%20Sending%20List&tpcc=email-breaking" target="_blank">A Capitol Hill police officer is a forensic match for the J6 Patriot Day Pipe Bomber.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Just the latest goofball bat-guano thinking from <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/11/13/us-news/zohran-mamdani-wants-social-workers-responding-to-911-calls-but-test-program-is-already-failing/" target="_blank">Commie Mamdani: have social workers accompany the po-po on calls. </a>When seconds to respond matter, can you imagine what will happen when police and social workers have to hash out who deals with a crazy, fentanyl-laced, violent criminal? "This is my jurisdiction." "No, you have to wait for me to ask him about his childhood."

Everyone knows that prices rose and access closed under Obamacare. Trump's team has virtually <i><strong>no leaks</strong></i> so they only know that <a href="https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-healthcare-obamacare-plan-replace-b2863052.html?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Trump is planning to act, but not how.</a> Once again, without leaks, the DemoKKKrats cannot mount any kind of "kill-the-baby-in-the-crib" strategy.

Rick Scott (FL) said the payments would be sent to individuals, not insurance companies</a>, in a sort of Health Savings Account structure.

Trump's lawyers, in the Hoax News media's vernacular, "pounced" and promised swift legal action. BBC apologized (kinda, claiming it was unintentional, but two BBC "leaders" resigned and promised not to re-air the program. Resignations, promises, and apologies sure seem to scream GUILTY to me. Initially, the BBC lawyers offered no compensation with their apology, but as lawyer Jeff Childers notes in his daily "Coffee & Covid" column, this is almost certainly the first low-ball (or zero ball) offer because they know they are going to have to pay, a lot. Trump has already humbled CBS, CNN, ABC and many others <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cd9kqz1yyxkt?post=asset%3A5754383e-24d9-463f-afaa-098ccda2f8ce#post" target="_blank">and is seeking $1 billion</a>. This settlement should pretty well ensure a Trump Presidential Library in all 57 states.

I will pray for his full recovery, even if he has to retire and be replaced with some reptilian Leninist, so that he may be with his kids.

Congress reopened the government and President Trump signed the bill, though another shutdown is expected in 10 weeks. The House moved to release Epstein-related documents, reinforcing Trump’s distance from Epstein, while UK media faced backlash for airing doctored Trump clips. Sen. Fetterman was hospitalized after a fall, a Capitol Police officer was linked to the J6 pipe bomb case, and debate continued over police–social worker response models. Trump’s team is preparing a new healthcare proposal, USDA is requiring fresh benefit reapplications after fraud findings, and the CFPB faces shutdown after scandal. Investigations resurfaced around Jack Smith’s handling of the 2016 Clinton email case, Pam Bondi is challenging Trump’s NY conviction, and Arizona’s governor faces scrutiny. SpaceX hit its 94th launch of the year, Trump pushed affordability messaging, and several states reversed benefits or licenses issued improperly. Economically, consumer spending remains strong despite negative sentiment, rare earth competition with China is intensifying, tariffs are under Supreme Court review, and population and business flight from NY/NJ continues. AI data centers are reshaping construction, new U.S. energy development is underway, and major companies are shifting supply chains out of China. Internationally, Germany and Sweden face migration-related pressures, China struggles under U.S. chip restrictions, and Ukraine faces a large corruption scandal. In culture and media, networks reshuffle under ratings pressure, a new film earns praise, and new studies link COVID vaccines to kidney and respiratory risks. The NBA season highlights Phoenix as a rising contender.</itunes:summary>

      <title>Today&apos;s News, November 4-5, 2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) As expected, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/democrats-win-key-races-5-takeaways-from-election-day-2025-post-5939662?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-11-05&src_cmp=mb-2025-11-05&utm_medium=email&est=R0PoC%2Belz2XMC3ElqGmYWBAkHwfyeQnP%2B037Sa25sIxrHB6sKKb0Udrl4urOfe69p6LW73U%3D" target="_blank">DemoKKKrats won big in the two blue states</a> (governors in NJ and VA) and in New Kabul, where there was record turnout to elect an Islamacist mayor. There are plenty of takeaways, but the biggest one remains voter registration. It is a real thing. In VA, though, candidate quality was key, as you cannot run someone who in any way has distanced themselves from MAGA.<a href="https://www.captaink.us/p/an-election-2025-autopsy-for-your?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=798984&post_id=178076102&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> Seth Keshel predicted this precisely</a>; I thought NJ would be a tossup. One of the measures in TX banned noncitizens from voting in state elections. And, in CA, as I predicted, their Prop 50 to redistrict the state and probably add five more D House seats, passed easily. More than ever, these results underscore the importance of getting voters registered. But they also repeated the MIDTERM MANTRA that for the party out of power in the midterms, it's easier. Nevertheless, DemoKKKrats in their Battle of the Bulge counteroffensive showed they can still get turnout: there was record turnout in VA and NYC. Oh, and this little report about the Amazing Zohran surfaced, but did not good: <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/11/04/us-news/muslim-group-with-deep-terrorist-ties-biggest-backer-of-mamdani-documents/" target="_blank">One of his leading backers is a group with "deep ties" to terrorists.</a> Well, I warned ya. Anyway, it already has started as <a href="https://www.tampabay.com/news/business/2025/11/05/restaurant-chain-wagamama-will-move-its-headquarters-tampa/" target="_blank">a major restaurant chain</a> will now relocate from NYC to FL.This morning, realtors' phones <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/real-estate/article-15258949/mamdani-new-yorkers-florida-housing-exodus.html" target="_blank">were ringing off the hook</a> from wealthy people looking to scurry from New Kabul. And this analyst thinks the election<a href="https://pjmedia.com/eric-florack/2025/11/05/dems-race-over-the-cliff-n4945622" target="_blank"> in the long run will be a disaster for DemoKKKrats who shoved the more extreme candidates to the fore.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) The SpewMore Shutdown <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/shutdown-poised-to-become-longest-ever-as-senate-rejects-funding-plan-a-14th-time-5939734?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-11-04-4&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-11-04-4&utm_medium=email&utm_term=digital&est=2qjx3jeBbnsnHugRqCNs50ktOPomVNidWldBjMwDHapbz5xLS3tD9XQgzdBqh4DnSL95xieJ" target="_blank">will continue and now looks like it might be the longest shutdown in history,</a> and I'm here to cheer it on. However, some are saying the election results may end the shutdown because DemoKKKrats don't need it as an issue. And today, it looks as though Trump will ignore court rulings and says he <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-says-snap-benefits-wont-be-paid-until-government-reopens-5939740?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">can't pay SNAP.</a> In reality, he is slapping them in the face for being unable to lay out a clear judicial guideline for what funds he can, and can't pay. Meanwhile some <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/personal-finance/700000-ineligible-snap-recipients-purged-after-usda-uncovers-widespread-food-stamp?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6249" target="_blank">700,000 ineligible food stamp recipients have been removed. </a>In NV, DemoKKKrat Sen.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) As expected, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/democrats-win-key-races-5-takeaways-from-election-day-2025-post-5939662?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-11-05&src_cmp=mb-2025-11-05&utm_medium=email&est=R0PoC%2Belz2XMC3ElqGmYWBAkHwfyeQnP%2B037Sa25sIxrHB6sKKb0Udrl4urOfe69p6LW73U%3D" target="_blank">DemoKKKrats won big in the two blue states</a> (governors in NJ and VA) and in New Kabul, where there was record turnout to elect an Islamacist mayor. There are plenty of takeaways, but the biggest one remains voter registration. It is a real thing. In VA, though, candidate quality was key, as you cannot run someone who in any way has distanced themselves from MAGA.<a href="https://www.captaink.us/p/an-election-2025-autopsy-for-your?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=798984&post_id=178076102&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> Seth Keshel predicted this precisely</a>; I thought NJ would be a tossup. One of the measures in TX banned noncitizens from voting in state elections. And, in CA, as I predicted, their Prop 50 to redistrict the state and probably add five more D House seats, passed easily. More than ever, these results underscore the importance of getting voters registered. But they also repeated the MIDTERM MANTRA that for the party out of power in the midterms, it's easier. Nevertheless, DemoKKKrats in their Battle of the Bulge counteroffensive showed they can still get turnout: there was record turnout in VA and NYC. Oh, and this little report about the Amazing Zohran surfaced, but did not good: <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/11/04/us-news/muslim-group-with-deep-terrorist-ties-biggest-backer-of-mamdani-documents/" target="_blank">One of his leading backers is a group with "deep ties" to terrorists.</a> Well, I warned ya. Anyway, it already has started as <a href="https://www.tampabay.com/news/business/2025/11/05/restaurant-chain-wagamama-will-move-its-headquarters-tampa/" target="_blank">a major restaurant chain</a> will now relocate from NYC to FL.This morning, realtors' phones <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/real-estate/article-15258949/mamdani-new-yorkers-florida-housing-exodus.html" target="_blank">were ringing off the hook</a> from wealthy people looking to scurry from New Kabul. And this analyst thinks the election<a href="https://pjmedia.com/eric-florack/2025/11/05/dems-race-over-the-cliff-n4945622" target="_blank"> in the long run will be a disaster for DemoKKKrats who shoved the more extreme candidates to the fore.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) The SpewMore Shutdown <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/shutdown-poised-to-become-longest-ever-as-senate-rejects-funding-plan-a-14th-time-5939734?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-11-04-4&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-11-04-4&utm_medium=email&utm_term=digital&est=2qjx3jeBbnsnHugRqCNs50ktOPomVNidWldBjMwDHapbz5xLS3tD9XQgzdBqh4DnSL95xieJ" target="_blank">will continue and now looks like it might be the longest shutdown in history,</a> and I'm here to cheer it on. However, some are saying the election results may end the shutdown because DemoKKKrats don't need it as an issue. And today, it looks as though Trump will ignore court rulings and says he <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-says-snap-benefits-wont-be-paid-until-government-reopens-5939740?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">can't pay SNAP.</a> In reality, he is slapping them in the face for being unable to lay out a clear judicial guideline for what funds he can, and can't pay. Meanwhile some <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/personal-finance/700000-ineligible-snap-recipients-purged-after-usda-uncovers-widespread-food-stamp?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6249" target="_blank">700,000 ineligible food stamp recipients have been removed. </a>In NV, DemoKKKrat Sen.

      <title>Today&apos;s News, October 30-31, 2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Welp, this is my substack today:<a href="https://larrys.substack.com/p/i-hoped-i-would-be-wrong-on-this" target="_blank"> "I HOPED I WOULD BE WRONG ON THIS ONE." </a>But I'm not. I've been warning that deep inside the bowels of the fecal DemoKKKrat Terror Machine, they are beginning to see that not only can't they win in 2026, but that their bunghole party of terror is going extinct and there is nothing they can, or, at least, will, do to stop it. From the <i>Atlantic</i>: <a href="https://archive.ph/POCZz" target="_blank">"Top Trump Officials are Moving onto Military Bases" </a>for protection from the murderous terrorists in the DemoKKKrat Party. Larry Klayman is right there with me on this, saying that<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/democrats-are-panicking-larry-klayman-warns-they-realize-only-way-take-control-society?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6211" target="_blank"> "DemoKKKrats are panicking" </a>and now can only destabilize the country, not win. And expect more of this, as<a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/beltway-confidential/3867838/nyc-antisemitic-attack-marks-dark-start-for-mayor-mamdani/?utm_source=deployer&utm_medium=email&utm_content=1761837373&utm_campaign=Beltway+Confidential&utm_term=" target="_blank"> an antisemitic attack in NYC</a> marks the arrival of the Amazing Zohran as a candidate. Meanwhile, the sensible people---the two or three who are left---in the DemoKKKrat Party are becoming extremely pessimistic. They should. This week NC saw its D+ advantage in voter registrations, which were 175,000 just five years ago, plummet to just 6,000.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Welp, this is my substack today:<a href="https://larrys.substack.com/p/i-hoped-i-would-be-wrong-on-this" target="_blank"> "I HOPED I WOULD BE WRONG ON THIS ONE." </a>But I'm not. I've been warning that deep inside the bowels of the fecal DemoKKKrat Terror Machine, they are beginning to see that not only can't they win in 2026, but that their bunghole party of terror is going extinct and there is nothing they can, or, at least, will, do to stop it. From the <i>Atlantic</i>: <a href="https://archive.ph/POCZz" target="_blank">"Top Trump Officials are Moving onto Military Bases" </a>for protection from the murderous terrorists in the DemoKKKrat Party. Larry Klayman is right there with me on this, saying that<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/democrats-are-panicking-larry-klayman-warns-they-realize-only-way-take-control-society?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6211" target="_blank"> "DemoKKKrats are panicking" </a>and now can only destabilize the country, not win. And expect more of this, as<a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/beltway-confidential/3867838/nyc-antisemitic-attack-marks-dark-start-for-mayor-mamdani/?utm_source=deployer&utm_medium=email&utm_content=1761837373&utm_campaign=Beltway+Confidential&utm_term=" target="_blank"> an antisemitic attack in NYC</a> marks the arrival of the Amazing Zohran as a candidate. Meanwhile, the sensible people---the two or three who are left---in the DemoKKKrat Party are becoming extremely pessimistic. They should. This week NC saw its D+ advantage in voter registrations, which were 175,000 just five years ago, plummet to just 6,000. NC and PA likely will be red states by the midterms.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) The SpewMore Shutdown continues and the DemoKKKrats have painted themselves into a corner.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) I'll be honest here. I don't know where this is headed.<a href="https://nypost.com/2025/10/29/us-news/fbi-may-have-investigated-160-republicans-as-part-of-arctic-frost-probe-documents-show/" target="_blank"> But the FBI's "Arctic Frost" probe may have spied on up to 160 Republicans in Congress and elsewhere.</a> So first question: will there be any follow up? Second question, given that Ed Martin, <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/nullification-campaign-picks-up-steam-as-doj-pardon-attorney-rejects-validity-of-biden-era-pardons?utm_source=theblaze-breaking&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Morning%20Trending&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%20TheBlaze%20Breaking%20News&tpcc=email-breaking" target="_blank">the Administration's "pardon attorney" sees "serious difficulties" with the auto-pen pardons</a>, will those be facing scrutiny as well?

Big loss for the DemoKKKrats. Harry Enten, the Communist News Network's Chief Polling Pimplemeister, said, oh my gosh, the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/theyve-become-more-popular-cnn-pollster-shocked-as-gop-gets-shutdown-bump" target="_blank">Republicans have gotten more <i>popular</i> </a>during the SpewMore shutdown. Meanwhile, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/10/28/trump-snap-benefits-government-shutdown.html?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">states are trying to sue to keep the SNAP payments up for da po, rather than lobbying their evil DemoKKKrat senator Pusbubble to do his job. </a>This ends abruptly when payments to da po end.

      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Again, this is another reason DemoKKKrats will go extinct. It's not that they have a bad platform of ideas---they have no platform except outrage. So Trump wants to build, at private expense, a ballroom so that large meetings at the white house aren't held in a tent, the left melts down again. <a href="https://amgreatness.com/2025/10/26/the-lefts-never-ending-outrage-machine/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=" target="_blank">All they have is outrage.</a>, Well, now a new poll comes out showing that DemoKKKrats are really toxic. <a href="https://hotair.com/john-s-2/2025/10/24/the-democratic-penalty-n3808201" target="_blank">This survey by a DemoKKKrat showed that merely changing a "D" to an "I" </a>on a ballot added 10 points. However, Ds can't just run as Is, because then they couldn't get DNC money. A real mind-twister there. Whaddya do? However, even this story misses it. It asks about a "shy Trump voter" effect within the DemoKKKrat Party, in which people are reluctant to criticize the party. But I go much further than that. I think the DemoKKKrat Party deep down makes people afraid, and that while they won't say it, I think there is a growing perception that the DemoKKKrats want to kill them. Here we have<a href="https://x.com/LeadingReport/status/1981870178263810533?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1981870178263810533%7Ctwgr%5E5b2bd3ec0359aecc88c94b092616bcd27dc9b3ff%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwltreport.com%2F2025%2F10%2F24%2Fterm-limits-democrat-congresswoman-early-stages-dementia-per%2F" target="_blank"> Congresswoman Jolanda Jones calling for slashing the throats of MAGA</a> people. People see this. They may not think it applies to ALL DemoKKKrats, but even if it applies to some? Who wants to even be around that kind of demon feces. <a href="https://www.semafor.com/article/10/27/2025/democrats-urged-to-jettison-progressive-rhetoric-favored-by-highly-educated-and-affluent" target="_blank">There is a <i>second report</i> from a group called "Welcome" called "Deciding to Win" that reiterates all of this</a>---that the DemoKKKrat "brand" is toxic and that a whopping 70% think the party is "out of touch." Specific racial group language increased among DemoKKrats by 828% in 12 years, while mentions of homosexual/transoid rights rose 1,000%, yet minority voters rejected them at increasing rates. Thus, as <a href="https://www.graphsaboutreligion.com/p/the-democrats-have-a-religion-problem?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1561197&post_id=173939839&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Ryan Burge notes,</a> means "DemoKKKrats have a Religion Problem," as nearly half of DemoKKKrats are atheists. These revelations explain why there were 500+ DemoKKKrat defections in FL in the last nine days, but also a R+5,500 gain. Rs in FL now have a statewide lead of 1.4 million. In IN, after the Senate failed to redraw the map,<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/indiana-governor-calls-special-session-to-redraw-congressional-maps-5935340?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank"> the governor called a special session for that purpose.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) <a href="https://archive.is/IbiqN" target="_blank">Even the<i> NYSlimes</i> </a>knows that DemoKKKrats have a major problem, as <a href="https://substack.com/home/post/p-177206084" target="_blank">Chris Bray shows</a>..

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Again, this is another reason DemoKKKrats will go extinct. It's not that they have a bad platform of ideas---they have no platform except outrage. So Trump wants to build, at private expense, a ballroom so that large meetings at the white house aren't held in a tent, the left melts down again. <a href="https://amgreatness.com/2025/10/26/the-lefts-never-ending-outrage-machine/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=" target="_blank">All they have is outrage.</a>, Well, now a new poll comes out showing that DemoKKKrats are really toxic. <a href="https://hotair.com/john-s-2/2025/10/24/the-democratic-penalty-n3808201" target="_blank">This survey by a DemoKKKrat showed that merely changing a "D" to an "I" </a>on a ballot added 10 points. However, Ds can't just run as Is, because then they couldn't get DNC money. A real mind-twister there. Whaddya do? However, even this story misses it. It asks about a "shy Trump voter" effect within the DemoKKKrat Party, in which people are reluctant to criticize the party. But I go much further than that. I think the DemoKKKrat Party deep down makes people afraid, and that while they won't say it, I think there is a growing perception that the DemoKKKrats want to kill them. Here we have<a href="https://x.com/LeadingReport/status/1981870178263810533?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1981870178263810533%7Ctwgr%5E5b2bd3ec0359aecc88c94b092616bcd27dc9b3ff%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwltreport.com%2F2025%2F10%2F24%2Fterm-limits-democrat-congresswoman-early-stages-dementia-per%2F" target="_blank"> Congresswoman Jolanda Jones calling for slashing the throats of MAGA</a> people. People see this. They may not think it applies to ALL DemoKKKrats, but even if it applies to some? Who wants to even be around that kind of demon feces. <a href="https://www.semafor.com/article/10/27/2025/democrats-urged-to-jettison-progressive-rhetoric-favored-by-highly-educated-and-affluent" target="_blank">There is a <i>second report</i> from a group called "Welcome" called "Deciding to Win" that reiterates all of this</a>---that the DemoKKKrat "brand" is toxic and that a whopping 70% think the party is "out of touch." Specific racial group language increased among DemoKKrats by 828% in 12 years, while mentions of homosexual/transoid rights rose 1,000%, yet minority voters rejected them at increasing rates. Thus, as <a href="https://www.graphsaboutreligion.com/p/the-democrats-have-a-religion-problem?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1561197&post_id=173939839&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Ryan Burge notes,</a> means "DemoKKKrats have a Religion Problem," as nearly half of DemoKKKrats are atheists. These revelations explain why there were 500+ DemoKKKrat defections in FL in the last nine days, but also a R+5,500 gain. Rs in FL now have a statewide lead of 1.4 million. In IN, after the Senate failed to redraw the map,<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/indiana-governor-calls-special-session-to-redraw-congressional-maps-5935340?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank"> the governor called a special session for that purpose.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) <a href="https://archive.is/IbiqN" target="_blank">Even the<i> NYSlimes</i> </a>knows that DemoKKKrats have a major problem, as <a href="https://substack.com/home/post/p-177206084" target="_blank">Chris Bray shows</a>..

      <title>Today&apos;s News, October 23-24, 2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) The <i>New York Slimes</i> and <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/us/wide-ranging-group-us-officials-pursues-trumps-fight-against-deep-state-2025-10-20/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Reuters-rotor are deeply concerned that Trump actually has a "woking group"</a> on the crimes of the Deep State and election stealing. That's cuz, eventually, it will end up with THEM. This apparently is extremely important to them because each ran a story with absolutely no new evidence, just <i>fear</i>. Oh, and it appears <a href="https://chrisbray.substack.com/p/a-bunch-of-dogs-not-barking?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=484195&post_id=176896118&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">the Trump suing for $230 million from DOJ for the Russia Hoax, etc., is a very old story</a> with little to it. Apparently the Hoax Newsters are having trouble getting anything to complain about with President Trump, so they are recycling stories <i>two years old</i>.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) I frequently say the DemoKKKrat Party is the Party of Terror. Well, well, lookee here. The<a href="https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2025/10/24/dnc-chair-may-be-nearing-moment-where-elections-dont-matter-and-resistance-looks-completely-different/" target="_blank"> chairman of the DemoKKKrat National Commune says that we are getting to the point that "elections don't matter"</a> and that "resistance" will look different. Now, squeeze me while I kiss this guy---oops, that was Jimi Hendrix. Didn't he say that? Anyway squeeze me as I think what he is saying is <i>"the DemoKKKrat Party is going extinct so elections for us won't matter," and "we will use terror as a last resort because we absolutely do not trust the system.," </i>Not surprising then that the <a href="https://freebeacon.com/america/rockefeller-brothers-fund-gave-millions-to-terror-tied-extremist-groups-in-2025/" target="_blank">Rockefeller Brothers Fund gave millions to terrorist-related groups.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>3) An <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/donor-gives-130-million-to-cover-shortfall-in-troop-pay-during-shutdown-5934105?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-10-24&src_cmp=mb-2025-10-24&utm_medium=email&est=UpGOt8KTSZf62zBgykuH8P%2F3rCLzDu1kPzHHDtOb61ZQU%2FHPFxO2vzH4F8XY1V6LyboH1is%3D" target="_blank">anonymous donor sent a check to the federal government for $130 million</a> to pay the troops during the shutdown.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Jew-hatred <a href="https://amgreatness.com/2025/10/23/jew-hatred-is-rampant-in-teachers-unions/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=" target="_blank">is rampant in the teachers' unions.</a> One sure-fire signal is that the unions support "Holocaust Remembrance Day," which numbers 11 million (not 6 million Jews) and seeks to generalize the Holocaust. This is important. My old mentor Prof. Robert J. Loewenberg once wrote an article called <a href="https://digitalarchives.sjc.edu/items?page=51&amp%3Bamp%3Bamp%3Bamp%3Bsort_field=Dublin+Core%2CCreator&amp%3Bamp%3Bamp%3Bamp%3Bsort_dir=a&amp%3Bamp%3Bamp%3Bamp%3Boutput=omeka-xml&amp%3Bamp%3Bamp%3Bsort_field=Dublin+Core%2CTitle&amp%3Bamp%3Bamp%3Bsort_dir=a&amp%3Bamp%3Bamp%3Boutput=omeka-xml&amp%3Bamp%3Bsort_field=Dublin+Core%2CTitle&amp%3Bamp%3Bsort_dir=d&amp%3Bamp%3Boutput=omeka-xml&amp%3Bsort_field=Dublin+Core%2CTitle&amp%3Bsort_dir=d&amp%3Boutput=omeka-xml&sort_field=Dublin+Core%2CDate&sort_dir=d&output=omeka-xml" target="_blank">"The Trivialization of the Holocaust"</a> in which he pointed out that this is a major goal of leftism, to take away the Jew-centric nature of the Holocaust so as to eliminate the religious/Jewish element and just make it about "man's inhumanity to man." But it wasn't. It was about a political group/ideology, that of the Nazis, seeking to exterminate a <i>particular religious/ethnic group</i> and to substitute Nazism in its place. (Note: the Loewenberg piece in <i>St. John's Review</i> from Winter 1982 does not have style embedded, so it's a chore to read.)</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/eric-adams-backs-andrew-cuomo-in-nyc-mayoral-race-5933945?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-10-23-7&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-10-23-7&utm_medium=email&utm_term=digital&est=YKn9vU6mbFL3ZbtbUG%2FI7eomRyctIFExp1zhbHC89DmKA5Bksd5tQsnEDLNc16iwHixjOHc%3D" target="_blank">Eric the Red Adams has now thrown in with Nipplepin Venthoarder (Andrew Cuomo)</a> to stop the Amazing Zohran.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) The <i>New York Slimes</i> and <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/us/wide-ranging-group-us-officials-pursues-trumps-fight-against-deep-state-2025-10-20/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Reuters-rotor are deeply concerned that Trump actually has a "woking group"</a> on the crimes of the Deep State and election stealing. That's cuz, eventually, it will end up with THEM. This apparently is extremely important to them because each ran a story with absolutely no new evidence, just <i>fear</i>. Oh, and it appears <a href="https://chrisbray.substack.com/p/a-bunch-of-dogs-not-barking?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=484195&post_id=176896118&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">the Trump suing for $230 million from DOJ for the Russia Hoax, etc., is a very old story</a> with little to it. Apparently the Hoax Newsters are having trouble getting anything to complain about with President Trump, so they are recycling stories <i>two years old</i>.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) I frequently say the DemoKKKrat Party is the Party of Terror. Well, well, lookee here. The<a href="https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2025/10/24/dnc-chair-may-be-nearing-moment-where-elections-dont-matter-and-resistance-looks-completely-different/" target="_blank"> chairman of the DemoKKKrat National Commune says that we are getting to the point that "elections don't matter"</a> and that "resistance" will look different. Now, squeeze me while I kiss this guy---oops, that was Jimi Hendrix. Didn't he say that? Anyway squeeze me as I think what he is saying is <i>"the DemoKKKrat Party is going extinct so elections for us won't matter," and "we will use terror as a last resort because we absolutely do not trust the system.," </i>Not surprising then that the <a href="https://freebeacon.com/america/rockefeller-brothers-fund-gave-millions-to-terror-tied-extremist-groups-in-2025/" target="_blank">Rockefeller Brothers Fund gave millions to terrorist-related groups.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>3) An <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/donor-gives-130-million-to-cover-shortfall-in-troop-pay-during-shutdown-5934105?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-10-24&src_cmp=mb-2025-10-24&utm_medium=email&est=UpGOt8KTSZf62zBgykuH8P%2F3rCLzDu1kPzHHDtOb61ZQU%2FHPFxO2vzH4F8XY1V6LyboH1is%3D" target="_blank">anonymous donor sent a check to the federal government for $130 million</a> to pay the troops during the shutdown.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Jew-hatred <a href="https://amgreatness.com/2025/10/23/jew-hatred-is-rampant-in-teachers-unions/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=" target="_blank">is rampant in the teachers' unions.</a> One sure-fire signal is that the unions support "Holocaust Remembrance Day," which numbers 11 million (not 6 million Jews) and seeks to generalize the Holocaust. This is important. My old mentor Prof. Robert J. Loewenberg once wrote an article called <a href="https://digitalarchives.sjc.edu/items?page=51&amp%3Bamp%3Bamp%3Bamp%3Bsort_field=Dublin+Core%2CCreator&amp%3Bamp%3Bamp%3Bamp%3Bsort_dir=a&amp%3Bamp%3Bamp%3Bamp%3Boutput=omeka-xml&amp%3Bamp%3Bamp%3Bsort_field=Dublin+Core%2CTitle&amp%3Bamp%3Bamp%3Bsort_dir=a&amp%3Bamp%3Bamp%3Boutput=omeka-xml&amp%3Bamp%3Bsort_field=Dublin+Core%2CTitle&amp%3Bamp%3Bsort_dir=d&amp%3Bamp%3Boutput=omeka-xml&amp%3Bsort_field=Dublin+Core%2CTitle&amp%3Bsort_dir=d&amp%3Boutput=omeka-xml&sort_field=Dublin+Core%2CDate&sort_dir=d&output=omeka-xml" target="_blank">"The Trivialization of the Holocaust"</a> in which he pointed out that this is a major goal of leftism, to take away the Jew-centric nature of the Holocaust so as to eliminate the religious/Jewish element and just make it about "man's inhumanity to man." But it wasn't. It was about a political group/ideology, that of the Nazis, seeking to exterminate a <i>particular religious/ethnic group</i> and to substitute Nazism in its place. (Note: the Loewenberg piece in <i>St. John's Review</i> from Winter 1982 does not have style embedded, so it's a chore to read.)</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/eric-adams-backs-andrew-cuomo-in-nyc-mayoral-race-5933945?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-10-23-7&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-10-23-7&utm_medium=email&utm_term=digital&est=YKn9vU6mbFL3ZbtbUG%2FI7eomRyctIFExp1zhbHC89DmKA5Bksd5tQsnEDLNc16iwHixjOHc%3D" target="_blank">Eric the Red Adams has now thrown in with Nipplepin Venthoarder (Andrew Cuomo)</a> to stop the Amazing Zohran.

      <itunes:summary>Trump’s “Deep State crimes” task force draws alarm from major media as Democrats face internal turmoil, with the DNC chair suggesting “resistance” beyond elections. An anonymous $130M donation pays troops during the shutdown, and Trump scores another Ninth Circuit win to deploy the National Guard. Crime and corruption dominate headlines—from NBA gambling arrests to a congresswoman’s ICE breach—while anti-Israel sentiment and school indoctrination spark cultural backlash. ICE is set to deport 600,000 illegals in 2025 as crime linked to illegal migrants rises. Economically, mortgage rates dip, Rivian cuts jobs amid an EV slump, rare earth concerns grow, and Coca-Cola revives cane sugar. Internationally, coal use hits record highs, Japan elects its first female PM with tough immigration plans, and Trump halts Canadian trade talks.

      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Between sombrero memes, and the pretty obvious fact that the Senate DemoKKKrats are entirely behind the shutdown, <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/trump-winning-shutdown-fight-public-opinion-shifts-his-favor?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6120" target="_blank">Trump is winning the SpewMore Shutdown fight.</a> You now have <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/pets-revenge-wednesday-october-22?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=176830864&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">people such as Wolfed Blitzer</a> asking NM's DemoKKKrat Senator if the shutdown isn't of the DemoKKKrats' own making; or Jon (who?) Stewart telling Dinobernie that DemoKKKrats have boxed themselves in, or Fetterman Massacre, the Human Ox, saying the DemoKKKrats are playing "groundhog day" and that they are losing. The SpewMore Shutdown is <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-10-22/us-government-shutdown-is-now-second-longest-in-history" target="_blank">now the second longest in history,</a> but I haven't noticed a thing. Course, I don't have a job dependent on the fed gubment.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Kash Patel says the FBI is <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/10/21/report-kash-patel-claims-fbi-is-on-the-verge-of-unmasking-funding-behind-antifa/" target="_blank">"closing in" on the funding organizations</a> for fascist antifa. Pssst. Kash. Look <a href="https://x.com/TonyLaneNV/status/1980450295705743388" target="_blank">here.</a> Oh, and this Brit billionaire cut off funding to leftoid groups after he found they were using $553 million to propagandize transoidism and other causes.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) A good piece here on <a href="https://www.realclearhistory.com/articles/2025/10/21/how_trump_changed_conservatism_1142225.html" target="_blank">"How Trump Changed Conservatism,"</a> namely he insisted on making actual changes, not battling about ideas. In other words, don't debate illegal immigration, deport. Another way to look at this shift is Charlie Kirk > Russell Kirk.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) <a href="https://jewishinsider.com/2025/10/graham-platner-ss-tattoo-maine-senate/" target="_blank">Graham Platner</a>, a far-left DemoKKKrat running for the Senate in ME, says he isn't a Nazi despite his Nazi tattoo.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/pattern-deception-john-brennan-hit-criminal-referral-over-steele-dossier-lies?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6120" target="_blank">John (Brennanski) Brennan, whom I personally suspect is a Russkie agent hired under the KGB, has been criminally referred to the DOJ</a> by Congress. That's the good news. The bad news is that so far the DOJ has not acted on many of there congressional referrals. Meanwhile, it was revealed that Count Dooku (Jack Smith) <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/10/21/trump-investigation-smith-cruz-phone-records-subpoena" target="_blank">went after Ted Cruz's emails too</a> . . . you know, just cuz he could.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) David Bookbinder, a litigator, said that the lawfare against Big Oil and other energy projects<a href="https://blackmon.substack.com/p/in-climate-lawfare-the-process-is?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=712558&post_id=176824506&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> "is" the "carbon tax."</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>7) <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/trump-doj-pay-230-million-previous-investigations-sources/story?id=126731700" target="_blank">Trump sued Rutabaga's administration for $230 million in damages</a> from the Russia Hoax/Mar-a-Lago raids. Rutabaga screwed up and did not get the case dismissed. Now it is before Trump's own DOJ. The proper way to view this is that Trump is seeking damages for what the Zero/Rutabaga administrations did to him. Oh, and <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/trump-seeks-proceed-10b-lawsuit-wsj-story-epsteins/story?id=126717491" target="_blank">he's proceeding with a $10 billion suit against the <i>Wall Street Urinal</i> </a>over lies they published relative to the Epstein "birthday book."</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Don't know what John Ratcliffe is doing, but <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/was-cia-misleading-witkoff-kushner-key-intel-about-hamas-during-critical-phase-peace?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6111" target="_blank">it appears the CIA was providing phony Hamas evidence to Trump's mideast negotiators</a>, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) This "no kings" crasher found that there were <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/watch-white-liberal-boomer-paid-protesters-caught-chaperoning-nyc-no-kings-protest?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6111" target="_blank">organizers, supervisors, and paid protestors at the marches.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>10) In a blistering rebuke of a lower court Biden-appointed judge, a panel of the <a href="https://www.kgw.com/article/news/politics/national-politics/national-guard-portland-trump-9th-circuit-court-of-appeals-ruling/283-8391dc09-4761-4796-b4ab-4c4572fb5978" target="_blank">Ninth Circuit just allowed Trump to send the National Guard into Portland</a>, The judges said Trump acted on good evidence that Portland was basically in a state of lawless insurrection. Meanwhile, <a href="https://ijr.com/chicago-area-judge-rules-ice-agents-can-be-arrested/" target="_blank">this moronic judge </a>says that the city of Benghazi-by-the-Lake can arrest ICE agents. I don't look for that to stand long at all.</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) Republican <a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/new-popular-republican-stuns-dems-enters-key-senate-race-with-early-edge/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank">John Sununu jumped into the NH Senate race</a>, throwing that race into a tossup category.</p><p><br /> </p><p>12) In NM, the most Hispanic state in the U.S.,<a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1962860309153992990?t=iJuNBxPf8grIzrdC2NEqRw&s=03" target="_blank"> Rs have slashed the D voter registration lead there from 72,000 to 55,000 since November.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>13) St. Thomas of Spooge, better known as Thomas Masshole, wants you to think he isn't funded by Jooooooos. No, it's worse. <a href="https://x.com/GoldenAgeTimes2/status/1963296367046001001" target="_blank">He's funded by antifa-linked orgs.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>14) I love it. ICE keeps "hittin' 'em where they ain't." They abruptly shifted from Benghazi-by-the-Lake (Chicago) <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/federal-agents-carry-joint-ice-crackdown-nycs-canal/story?id=126736264" target="_blank">to New Kabul (NYC) on Canal Street for a major raid.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>15) This is ironic: the <a href="https://www.wtae.com/article/fourth-street-foods-charleroi-layoff-workers-set-to-close/69034478" target="_blank">Fourth Street Barbeque company in Charleroi, Pennsylvania,</a> noted for its dog-eating Haitian community, had to close down because it employed too many Haitian illegals.</p><p><br /> </p><p>16) Well, good, but wrong. <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/10/21/poll-4-in-10-say-illegal-immigrants-who-havent-committed-crimes-should-still-be-deported/" target="_blank">Four in 10 say that even those illegals who haven't committed a crime should be deported. </a>Yes, but that's the rub. They DID commit multiple crimes by coming here, staying here, and taking advantage of one single taxpayer program.</p><p><br /> </p><p>17) ICE is <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2025/10/22/spotify-says-ice-recruitment-ads-dont-violate-company-policy/" target="_blank">advertising on Spotify, driving leftist musicians crazy.</a></p><p><br

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Between sombrero memes, and the pretty obvious fact that the Senate DemoKKKrats are entirely behind the shutdown, <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/trump-winning-shutdown-fight-public-opinion-shifts-his-favor?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6120" target="_blank">Trump is winning the SpewMore Shutdown fight.</a> You now have <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/pets-revenge-wednesday-october-22?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=176830864&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">people such as Wolfed Blitzer</a> asking NM's DemoKKKrat Senator if the shutdown isn't of the DemoKKKrats' own making; or Jon (who?) Stewart telling Dinobernie that DemoKKKrats have boxed themselves in, or Fetterman Massacre, the Human Ox, saying the DemoKKKrats are playing "groundhog day" and that they are losing. The SpewMore Shutdown is <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-10-22/us-government-shutdown-is-now-second-longest-in-history" target="_blank">now the second longest in history,</a> but I haven't noticed a thing. Course, I don't have a job dependent on the fed gubment.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Kash Patel says the FBI is <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/10/21/report-kash-patel-claims-fbi-is-on-the-verge-of-unmasking-funding-behind-antifa/" target="_blank">"closing in" on the funding organizations</a> for fascist antifa. Pssst. Kash. Look <a href="https://x.com/TonyLaneNV/status/1980450295705743388" target="_blank">here.</a> Oh, and this Brit billionaire cut off funding to leftoid groups after he found they were using $553 million to propagandize transoidism and other causes.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) A good piece here on <a href="https://www.realclearhistory.com/articles/2025/10/21/how_trump_changed_conservatism_1142225.html" target="_blank">"How Trump Changed Conservatism,"</a> namely he insisted on making actual changes, not battling about ideas. In other words, don't debate illegal immigration, deport. Another way to look at this shift is Charlie Kirk > Russell Kirk.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) <a href="https://jewishinsider.com/2025/10/graham-platner-ss-tattoo-maine-senate/" target="_blank">Graham Platner</a>, a far-left DemoKKKrat running for the Senate in ME, says he isn't a Nazi despite his Nazi tattoo.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/pattern-deception-john-brennan-hit-criminal-referral-over-steele-dossier-lies?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6120" target="_blank">John (Brennanski) Brennan, whom I personally suspect is a Russkie agent hired under the KGB, has been criminally referred to the DOJ</a> by Congress. That's the good news. The bad news is that so far the DOJ has not acted on many of there congressional referrals. Meanwhile, it was revealed that Count Dooku (Jack Smith) <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/10/21/trump-investigation-smith-cruz-phone-records-subpoena" target="_blank">went after Ted Cruz's emails too</a> . . . you know, just cuz he could.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) David Bookbinder, a litigator, said that the lawfare against Big Oil and other energy projects<a href="https://blackmon.substack.com/p/in-climate-lawfare-the-process-is?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=712558&post_id=176824506&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> "is" the "carbon tax."</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>7) <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/trump-doj-pay-230-million-previous-investigations-sources/story?id=126731700" target="_blank">Trump sued Rutabaga's administration for $230 million in damages</a> from the Russia Hoax/Mar-a-Lago raids. Rutabaga screwed up and did not get the case dismissed. Now it is before Trump's own DOJ. The proper way to view this is that Trump is seeking damages for what the Zero/Rutabaga administrations did to him. Oh, and <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/trump-seeks-proceed-10b-lawsuit-wsj-story-epsteins/story?id=126717491" target="_blank">he's proceeding with a $10 billion suit against the <i>Wall Street Urinal</i> </a>over lies they published relative to the Epstein "birthday book."</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Don't know what John Ratcliffe is doing, but <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/was-cia-misleading-witkoff-kushner-key-intel-about-hamas-during-critical-phase-peace?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6111" target="_blank">it appears the CIA was providing phony Hamas evidence to Trump's mideast negotiators</a>, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) This "no kings" crasher found that there were <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/watch-white-liberal-boomer-paid-protesters-caught-chaperoning-nyc-no-kings-protest?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6111" target="_blank">organizers, supervisors, and paid protestors at the marches.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>10) In a blistering rebuke of a lower court Biden-appointed judge, a panel of the <a href="https://www.kgw.com/article/news/politics/national-politics/national-guard-portland-trump-9th-circuit-court-of-appeals-ruling/283-8391dc09-4761-4796-b4ab-4c4572fb5978" target="_blank">Ninth Circuit just allowed Trump to send the National Guard into Portland</a>, The judges said Trump acted on good evidence that Portland was basically in a state of lawless insurrection. Meanwhile, <a href="https://ijr.com/chicago-area-judge-rules-ice-agents-can-be-arrested/" target="_blank">this moronic judge </a>says that the city of Benghazi-by-the-Lake can arrest ICE agents. I don't look for that to stand long at all.</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) Republican <a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/new-popular-republican-stuns-dems-enters-key-senate-race-with-early-edge/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank">John Sununu jumped into the NH Senate race</a>, throwing that race into a tossup category.</p><p><br /> </p><p>12) In NM, the most Hispanic state in the U.S.,<a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1962860309153992990?t=iJuNBxPf8grIzrdC2NEqRw&s=03" target="_blank"> Rs have slashed the D voter registration lead there from 72,000 to 55,000 since November.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>13) St. Thomas of Spooge, better known as Thomas Masshole, wants you to think he isn't funded by Jooooooos. No, it's worse. <a href="https://x.com/GoldenAgeTimes2/status/1963296367046001001" target="_blank">He's funded by antifa-linked orgs.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>14) I love it. ICE keeps "hittin' 'em where they ain't." They abruptly shifted from Benghazi-by-the-Lake (Chicago) <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/federal-agents-carry-joint-ice-crackdown-nycs-canal/story?id=126736264" target="_blank">to New Kabul (NYC) on Canal Street for a major raid.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>15) This is ironic: the <a href="https://www.wtae.com/article/fourth-street-foods-charleroi-layoff-workers-set-to-close/69034478" target="_blank">Fourth Street Barbeque company in Charleroi, Pennsylvania,</a> noted for its dog-eating Haitian community, had to close down because it employed too many Haitian illegals.</p><p><br /> </p><p>16) Well, good, but wrong. <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/10/21/poll-4-in-10-say-illegal-immigrants-who-havent-committed-crimes-should-still-be-deported/" target="_blank">Four in 10 say that even those illegals who haven't committed a crime should be deported. </a>Yes, but that's the rub. They DID commit multiple crimes by coming here, staying here, and taking advantage of one single taxpayer program.</p><p><br /> </p><p>17) ICE is <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2025/10/22/spotify-says-ice-recruitment-ads-dont-violate-company-policy/" target="_blank">advertising on Spotify, driving leftist musicians crazy.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>18) Another <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/illegal-immigrant-allegedly-causes-fatal-semi-truck-crash-highway-killing-driver-officials" target="_blank">illegal criminal alien invader involved in a fatal semi-truck crash.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>19) A charity boss <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15216343/missouri-charity-boss-connie-bobo-mansions-mercedes.html" target="_blank">blew $10 million in funds to feed hungry poor children</a>, spending the money instead on a mansion and hot cars.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN TRANSOID NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>20) A Waco, <a href="https://x.com/baylisswagner/status/1981033061786501433" target="_blank">TX judge ruled that schools can introduce transoid/whacko sex stuff </a>into school curricula.</p><p><br /> </p><p>21) A <a

      <title>Today&apos;s News, October 18-20, 2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) These must be President Trump's next targets, <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/fueled-billionaires-no-kings-prepares-color-revolution-style-mobilization-against-trump?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6090" target="_blank">as dark money NGOs and billionaires fund the so-called "No Kings" marches</a> of <a href="https://larrys.substack.com/p/getting-the-guillotine-from-the-fossilized" target="_blank">elderly white fossils.</a> Kash Patel says the <a href="https://justthenews.com/government/security/patel-says-fbi-found-more-weaponization-crimes-close-unmasking-command-and?utm_source=daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter" target="_blank">FBI is close to finding the sources of all fascist antifa money.</a> Patel might want to start here, with this <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/asra-nomani-2-1-billion-machine-behind-spontaneous-anti-trump-protests" target="_blank">ASRA NOMANI funding operation.</a> Oh, and by the way, the left kept circulating videos of a 2017 march for "No Kings" day.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) As for the so-called "No Kings" marches, as Jeff Childers says, if that means no Stephen King, well, I'm in. Meanwhile, <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/your-momma-saturday-october-18-2025?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=176496260&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">as Childers writes</a>, what will these people tell their grandchildren? "Grandpa once fought fascists by standing in front of Starbucks for two hours!" It's a losing game for them <a href="https://justthenews.com/nation/states/center-square/poll-americans-support-antifa-terror-designation" target="_blank">as Americans support by a 19 point margin labeling fascist antifa a terrorist org</a>. (80% of Republicans support this).</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) The SpewMore shutdown isn't hurting Trump at all.<a href="https://x.com/SweetPeaBell326/status/1980296832640295384" target="_blank"> He has actually gained a point according to CNN</a> vs having lost ground in the 2019 shutdown. Republicans continue to <a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/new-dems-shutdown-continues-to-backfire-in-brutal-fashion-jrupp/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank">rake in the cash during the SpewMore Shutodwn</a>. Russ Vought says that 10,000 will be permanently let go, but<a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/10/18/government-shutdown-trump-federal-workers" target="_blank"> <i>Axios </i>says 300,000, or 14%, will actually depart this year</a>. Be still my beating heart. Moreover, <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/10/19/how-trump-2-0-blew-up-lobbying-00612784" target="_blank"><i>Politico</i> notes that Trump is "micromanaging phenomenally"</a> and has blown up K Street culture. And if you want to see what the shutdown is doing to DemoKKKrats look at the unhinged Hakeem "Movin' on Up" Jeffries,<a href="https://istandforfreedom.com/hakeem-jeffries-unleashes-personal/?utm_source=actengage&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> who called Karoline Leavitt "sick," "out of control," "demented" and "ignorant."</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>4) We must be ever vigilant: <a href="https://x.com/ThePatriotOasis/status/1979972220907614477" target="_blank">authorities discovered a hunting stand right at the end of the Palm Beach International Airport</a> where President Trump exits Air Force One. Trump has now had the most verified assassination attempts (4) of any President in history. The backlash to the Charlie Kirk shooting was muted because his was a spiritual message, and one of peaceful discussion. But mark my words: if anything happens to President Trump, the reaction will make the response to 9/11 look like a canasta game.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/pedos-and-dominos-monday-october?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=176642557&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Jeff Childers </a>reviews the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/business/jeffrey-epstein-leon-black.html?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">New York Slimes article on Jeff Epstein pal, Leon Black</a>. As Childers puts it, Black was a "financial keystone in several elite ecosystems" and he characterizes the <i>Slimes</i> "exposé was nothing short of <i>seismic</i>. It is a rhetorical missile strike deep at the heart of one of New York’s deepest aquifers of wealth and influence." Further, Childers describes Black as a</p><p>is a load-bearing column in the cathedral of Manhattan money, underwriting the art world, propping up philanthropy, and serving as connective tissue between Wall Street, Washington, and the Upper East Side." This is looking like the <i>Slimes </i>knows really bad stuff is coming---none of it aimed at Trump---and they are trying to get ahead of it. In recent days they published an expose of Prince Andrew and one of Lazard's Peter Mandelson. Childers labels this an "ordered narrative of inevitability."</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Meanwihle, @endgamemacro says that Trump <a href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!7CdK!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F57830003-2858-4504-b4dc-1e5b180eab47_728x218.png" target="_blank">is strategically positioning national guard and troops at all key infrastructure/transportation hubs</a>.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) National party registration for September showed that<a href="https://x.com/OpenSourceZone/status/1979582980352847913?t=gBOBnAWaumPrNqCl40ktQg&s=03" target="_blank"> Rs gained 29,400 while DemoKKKrats lost 55,420---a nearly 85,000 shift away from DemoKKKrats.</a> In Arizona, meanwhile, Rs net <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1979553855429050533" target="_blank">gained nearly 6,000 pulling their total statewide lead up to 333,000.</a> Rs just gained <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1980313375608357331" target="_blank">another safe House seat with NC's redistricting.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>8) A cracked screen <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/cracked-windscreen-forces-plane-carrying-hegseth-to-make-emergency-landing-5930318?autoemail=larry.schweikart%40gmail.com&utm_source=deployer&utm_medium=EmailMk&utm_content=&utm_campaign=new&utm_term=" target="_blank">forced Secretary of War, the Punisher Pete Hegseth's plane to make an emergency landing.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>9) President Trump <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-commutes-sentence-of-former-rep-george-santos-5931407?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-10-18&src_cmp=mb-2025-10-18&utm_medium=email&est=2OVKBZpoOIJHm7uxuSLRTzAkP1j3kWhUB4vsYD30SKy%2B6jOy%2FBYpbTt0zyQoauRa1yI%2BM4A%3D" target="_blank">commuted the prison sentence of former NY Congressman George Santos.</a> That's ok.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) These must be President Trump's next targets, <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/fueled-billionaires-no-kings-prepares-color-revolution-style-mobilization-against-trump?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6090" target="_blank">as dark money NGOs and billionaires fund the so-called "No Kings" marches</a> of <a href="https://larrys.substack.com/p/getting-the-guillotine-from-the-fossilized" target="_blank">elderly white fossils.</a> Kash Patel says the <a href="https://justthenews.com/government/security/patel-says-fbi-found-more-weaponization-crimes-close-unmasking-command-and?utm_source=daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter" target="_blank">FBI is close to finding the sources of all fascist antifa money.</a> Patel might want to start here, with this <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/asra-nomani-2-1-billion-machine-behind-spontaneous-anti-trump-protests" target="_blank">ASRA NOMANI funding operation.</a> Oh, and by the way, the left kept circulating videos of a 2017 march for "No Kings" day.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) As for the so-called "No Kings" marches, as Jeff Childers says, if that means no Stephen King, well, I'm in. Meanwhile, <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/your-momma-saturday-october-18-2025?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=176496260&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">as Childers writes</a>, what will these people tell their grandchildren? "Grandpa once fought fascists by standing in front of Starbucks for two hours!" It's a losing game for them <a href="https://justthenews.com/nation/states/center-square/poll-americans-support-antifa-terror-designation" target="_blank">as Americans support by a 19 point margin labeling fascist antifa a terrorist org</a>. (80% of Republicans support this).</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) The SpewMore shutdown isn't hurting Trump at all.<a href="https://x.com/SweetPeaBell326/status/1980296832640295384" target="_blank"> He has actually gained a point according to CNN</a> vs having lost ground in the 2019 shutdown. Republicans continue to <a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/new-dems-shutdown-continues-to-backfire-in-brutal-fashion-jrupp/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank">rake in the cash during the SpewMore Shutodwn</a>. Russ Vought says that 10,000 will be permanently let go, but<a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/10/18/government-shutdown-trump-federal-workers" target="_blank"> <i>Axios </i>says 300,000, or 14%, will actually depart this year</a>. Be still my beating heart. Moreover, <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/10/19/how-trump-2-0-blew-up-lobbying-00612784" target="_blank"><i>Politico</i> notes that Trump is "micromanaging phenomenally"</a> and has blown up K Street culture. And if you want to see what the shutdown is doing to DemoKKKrats look at the unhinged Hakeem "Movin' on Up" Jeffries,<a href="https://istandforfreedom.com/hakeem-jeffries-unleashes-personal/?utm_source=actengage&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> who called Karoline Leavitt "sick," "out of control," "demented" and "ignorant."</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>4) We must be ever vigilant: <a href="https://x.com/ThePatriotOasis/status/1979972220907614477" target="_blank">authorities discovered a hunting stand right at the end of the Palm Beach International Airport</a> where President Trump exits Air Force One. Trump has now had the most verified assassination attempts (4) of any President in history. The backlash to the Charlie Kirk shooting was muted because his was a spiritual message, and one of peaceful discussion. But mark my words: if anything happens to President Trump, the reaction will make the response to 9/11 look like a canasta game.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/pedos-and-dominos-monday-october?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=176642557&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Jeff Childers </a>reviews the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/business/jeffrey-epstein-leon-black.html?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">New York Slimes article on Jeff Epstein pal, Leon Black</a>. As Childers puts it, Black was a "financial keystone in several elite ecosystems" and he characterizes the <i>Slimes</i> "exposé was nothing short of <i>seismic</i>. It is a rhetorical missile strike deep at the heart of one of New York’s deepest aquifers of wealth and influence." Further, Childers describes Black as a</p><p>is a load-bearing column in the cathedral of Manhattan money, underwriting the art world, propping up philanthropy, and serving as connective tissue between Wall Street, Washington, and the Upper East Side." This is looking like the <i>Slimes </i>knows really bad stuff is coming---none of it aimed at Trump---and they are trying to get ahead of it. In recent days they published an expose of Prince Andrew and one of Lazard's Peter Mandelson. Childers labels this an "ordered narrative of inevitability."</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Meanwihle, @endgamemacro says that Trump <a href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!7CdK!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F57830003-2858-4504-b4dc-1e5b180eab47_728x218.png" target="_blank">is strategically positioning national guard and troops at all key infrastructure/transportation hubs</a>.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) National party registration for September showed that<a href="https://x.com/OpenSourceZone/status/1979582980352847913?t=gBOBnAWaumPrNqCl40ktQg&s=03" target="_blank"> Rs gained 29,400 while DemoKKKrats lost 55,420---a nearly 85,000 shift away from DemoKKKrats.</a> In Arizona, meanwhile, Rs net <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1979553855429050533" target="_blank">gained nearly 6,000 pulling their total statewide lead up to 333,000.</a> Rs just gained <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1980313375608357331" target="_blank">another safe House seat with NC's redistricting.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>8) A cracked screen <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/cracked-windscreen-forces-plane-carrying-hegseth-to-make-emergency-landing-5930318?autoemail=larry.schweikart%40gmail.com&utm_source=deployer&utm_medium=EmailMk&utm_content=&utm_campaign=new&utm_term=" target="_blank">forced Secretary of War, the Punisher Pete Hegseth's plane to make an emergency landing.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>9) President Trump <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-commutes-sentence-of-former-rep-george-santos-5931407?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-10-18&src_cmp=mb-2025-10-18&utm_medium=email&est=2OVKBZpoOIJHm7uxuSLRTzAkP1j3kWhUB4vsYD30SKy%2B6jOy%2FBYpbTt0zyQoauRa1yI%2BM4A%3D" target="_blank">commuted the prison sentence of former NY Congressman George Santos.</a> That's ok.

      <title>Today&apos;s News, October 16-17, 2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) As I predicted, "<a href="https://x.com/Geiger_Capital/status/1978904863346962515" target="_blank">The Moustache," John Bolton, got indicted for diddling with classified info,</a> exactly what they were trying to get Trump on. Bolton's<a href="https://x.com/Techno_Fog/status/1978940921849811011/photo/1" target="_blank"> private email was hacked by Iran</a>. Here is <a href="https://technofog.substack.com/p/the-john-bolton-indictment?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=274771&post_id=176380391&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Shipwreckedcrew</a> on the indictment. I think Wray, Brennanski and the Clap will be strongly considered for indictments. My guess is that one of the three will get one, the other two walk. But the future is bright at DOJ, as <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/alleged-antifa-members-indicted-on-charges-of-providing-support-to-terrorists-5930668?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-10-16-7&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-10-16-7&utm_medium=email&est=S%2Bid0KigX0exv2W1QrsVB85SmlljiAbOw2UcWHKLL5MD9T7kKYv6M7y9bl%2BS36papkbpGdvl" target="_blank">fascist antifa members were arrested on charges of supporting terrorism, which they do.</a> Meanwhile, <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/10/16/kash-patel-confirms-many-more-indictments-prison-time/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">Kash Patel says many more indictments are coming.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) For all the spoogesocket leftists who claim Trump is using DOJ to persecute political enemies, <a href="https://shipwreckedcrew.substack.com/p/70-v-2-spare-me-the-rending-of-garments?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=284783&post_id=176264916&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Shipwreckedcrew provides the following little chart.</a> The first six rows are the ones Rutabaga persecuted.</p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_23a40e9ca0dc436aa2a647cc426bc5e2~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1100,h_730,al_c,q_85,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_23a40e9ca0dc436aa2a647cc426bc5e2~mv2.jpg" alt="ree" /><p><br /> </p><p>3) DemoKKKrats are back to resistance and protesting with the "No Kings" (Who Cares?) protests, which, as this writer argues, <a href="https://www.nysun.com/article/no-kings-protests-returning-on-saturday-promise-a-venting-of-rage-rather-than-a-strategy-to-win?lctg=1679237530&recognized_email=larryschweikart%40gmail.com&utm_source=MG&utm_medium=email-newsletter&utm_campaign=Morning%20Sun%20%202025-10-16" target="_blank">will bring them no closer at all to winning anything.</a> Meanwhile, the poor guys over at the <i>Liberal Patriot</i> ask if DemoKKKrats <a href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/democrats-and-the-vision-thing?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=239058&post_id=176296524&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">even have a vision</a>? Well, not one that any normal American wants, but as I said in the replies there, the problem is worse than that: Many Americans now see, but won't say, their vision, which is they want everyone else dead.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) The <a href="https://insideradvantage.com/breaking-insideradvantage-trafalgar-group-new-jersey-survey-sherrill-leads-ciattarelli-by-one-point/" target="_blank">latest polling from NJ shows a 1-point governor's race</a>. I will not be surprised if Ciatterelli wins this, but do not think Sears-Earle can pull it off in VA.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Anyone thinking <a href="https://x.com/Newsweek/status/1979199957006533090" target="_blank">Gruesome can even run close to J.D. Vance is smokin' the good stuff.</a> Vance leads Gruesome among men and whites by margins even larger than Trump. Oh, and speaking of losing support, <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/jeffries-dems-95967/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">Hakeem ("Movin' on Up") Jeffries is losing support nationally among dozens of DemoKKKrat candidates.</a> Meanwhile in AL, <a href="https://x.com/QuantusInsights/status/1978908071918473732?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1978908071918473732%7Ctwgr%5E70a25995d77465b223b361d1ad738d5ccd5294f1%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwltreport.com%2F2025%2F10%2F16%2Fpoll-surprise-candidate-surges-top-spot-red-state%2F" target="_blank">a former SEAL now leads in the senate race there as Tommy T heads for the governor's mansion.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>6) The Punisher Pete Hegseth, Secretary of War, <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/pentagon-doesnt-bend-to-liberal-reporters-takes-their-press-badges?utm_source=theblaze-breaking&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Active%20Trending&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%207%20Day%20Engagement&tpcc=email-breaking" target="_blank">took the press badges from all the Hoax News media</a>, who huffed and puffed.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) <a href="https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/supreme-court-voting-rights-section-2/" target="_blank">One would expect the <i>Nation</i></a>, better known as the Aryan Nation, to be freaking about the likely Supes ruling in racial districting. Now the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/15/upshot/supreme-court-voting-rights-gerrymander.html" target="_blank"><i>New York Slimes</i> is getting worried about the Supes ruling on the racist district-drawing under DemoKKKrats.</a> <i>Slimes </i>is afraid this will hand the House to Republicans. Dear <i>Slimes</i>: this is why I am not afraid of you one whit. You are behind the curve by MONTHS. The House is already secure with redistricting. What THIS ruling will do is make it impossible to flip enough "tossup seats" for DemoKKKrats to ever win again. The number they are using is 19 lost seats for DemoKKKrats, but Seth Keshel puts the number of R gains at 11-13, or, on top of redistricting, the GOP is looking at 229 to 231 safe R seats. With gerrymandering there is no way even NINE DemoKKKrat lost seats can be recovered. If I were a DemoKKKrat, I'd spend every waking moment trying to "fortify" every single blue district now and forget about flipping anything. In oral arguments on this case, that brilliant Einstein-level intellect, Jumpin' Jackson Brown, compared black people to disabled people in arguing for the special districts. Blacks have now gone to the back of the bus to the short bus. Meanwhile, in other awesome news<a href="https://x.com/bluestein/status/1978770957989789939" target="_blank"> this DemoKKKrat phony vote ballot harvesting operation was shut down.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Oh, and this piece shows <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/10/17/democrats-old-congress-primary-fundraising" target="_blank">older DemoKKKrats are getting crushed by radical youts in the cash wars.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>9) John Leake points out a strong LDS/Mormon presence in D.C., especially in foreign service, then asks the question many have asked me:<a href="https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/scrutinizing-the-fbis-mormon-cohort?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1119676&post_id=176348504&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> was there a "Mormon Connection" in the Charlie Kirk assassination?</a> He doesn't answer, but this question has been raised a lot.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) The corrupt DemoKKKrat (but I repeat myself) <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/corrupt-stacey-abrams-groups-once-led-by-sen-raphael-warnock-go-extinct-after-admission-of-guilt?utm_source=theblaze-breaking&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Morning%20Trending%202&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%20TheBlaze%20Breaking%20News&tpcc=email-breaking" target="_blank">Stacy M1 Abrams, the Human Planet, had to shut down all her failed ballot harvesting operations.</a> Meanwhile, in FL voting machine company Smartmatic has been charged <a href="https://100percentfedup.com/voting-machine-company-smartmatic-indicted-federal-prosecutors-faces/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">in multiple bribery indictments.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>11) As if Trump didn't have enough money for his Presidential Library already, but he <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-refiles-15-billion-defamation-lawsuit-against-new-york-times-after-court-dismissal-5930917?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">refiled the $15 billion defamation suit against the <i>NYSlimes</i></a> that was dismissed, this time with new material.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>12) Kollyfornia must be broken up into sections the way the Reconstruction South was and put under military control. <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/la-county-declares-state-emergency-over-ice-raids-will-pay-rent-provide-legal-aid?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6053" target="_blank">Now LA County is going to pay rent and provide legal aid for illegal criminal invaders</a>.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) As I predicted, "<a href="https://x.com/Geiger_Capital/status/1978904863346962515" target="_blank">The Moustache," John Bolton, got indicted for diddling with classified info,</a> exactly what they were trying to get Trump on. Bolton's<a href="https://x.com/Techno_Fog/status/1978940921849811011/photo/1" target="_blank"> private email was hacked by Iran</a>. Here is <a href="https://technofog.substack.com/p/the-john-bolton-indictment?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=274771&post_id=176380391&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Shipwreckedcrew</a> on the indictment. I think Wray, Brennanski and the Clap will be strongly considered for indictments. My guess is that one of the three will get one, the other two walk. But the future is bright at DOJ, as <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/alleged-antifa-members-indicted-on-charges-of-providing-support-to-terrorists-5930668?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-10-16-7&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-10-16-7&utm_medium=email&est=S%2Bid0KigX0exv2W1QrsVB85SmlljiAbOw2UcWHKLL5MD9T7kKYv6M7y9bl%2BS36papkbpGdvl" target="_blank">fascist antifa members were arrested on charges of supporting terrorism, which they do.</a> Meanwhile, <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/10/16/kash-patel-confirms-many-more-indictments-prison-time/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">Kash Patel says many more indictments are coming.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) For all the spoogesocket leftists who claim Trump is using DOJ to persecute political enemies, <a href="https://shipwreckedcrew.substack.com/p/70-v-2-spare-me-the-rending-of-garments?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=284783&post_id=176264916&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Shipwreckedcrew provides the following little chart.</a> The first six rows are the ones Rutabaga persecuted.</p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_23a40e9ca0dc436aa2a647cc426bc5e2~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1100,h_730,al_c,q_85,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_23a40e9ca0dc436aa2a647cc426bc5e2~mv2.jpg" alt="ree" /><p><br /> </p><p>3) DemoKKKrats are back to resistance and protesting with the "No Kings" (Who Cares?) protests, which, as this writer argues, <a href="https://www.nysun.com/article/no-kings-protests-returning-on-saturday-promise-a-venting-of-rage-rather-than-a-strategy-to-win?lctg=1679237530&recognized_email=larryschweikart%40gmail.com&utm_source=MG&utm_medium=email-newsletter&utm_campaign=Morning%20Sun%20%202025-10-16" target="_blank">will bring them no closer at all to winning anything.</a> Meanwhile, the poor guys over at the <i>Liberal Patriot</i> ask if DemoKKKrats <a href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/democrats-and-the-vision-thing?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=239058&post_id=176296524&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">even have a vision</a>? Well, not one that any normal American wants, but as I said in the replies there, the problem is worse than that: Many Americans now see, but won't say, their vision, which is they want everyone else dead.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) The <a href="https://insideradvantage.com/breaking-insideradvantage-trafalgar-group-new-jersey-survey-sherrill-leads-ciattarelli-by-one-point/" target="_blank">latest polling from NJ shows a 1-point governor's race</a>. I will not be surprised if Ciatterelli wins this, but do not think Sears-Earle can pull it off in VA.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Anyone thinking <a href="https://x.com/Newsweek/status/1979199957006533090" target="_blank">Gruesome can even run close to J.D. Vance is smokin' the good stuff.</a> Vance leads Gruesome among men and whites by margins even larger than Trump. Oh, and speaking of losing support, <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/jeffries-dems-95967/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">Hakeem ("Movin' on Up") Jeffries is losing support nationally among dozens of DemoKKKrat candidates.</a> Meanwhile in AL, <a href="https://x.com/QuantusInsights/status/1978908071918473732?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1978908071918473732%7Ctwgr%5E70a25995d77465b223b361d1ad738d5ccd5294f1%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwltreport.com%2F2025%2F10%2F16%2Fpoll-surprise-candidate-surges-top-spot-red-state%2F" target="_blank">a former SEAL now leads in the senate race there as Tommy T heads for the governor's mansion.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>6) The Punisher Pete Hegseth, Secretary of War, <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/pentagon-doesnt-bend-to-liberal-reporters-takes-their-press-badges?utm_source=theblaze-breaking&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Active%20Trending&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%207%20Day%20Engagement&tpcc=email-breaking" target="_blank">took the press badges from all the Hoax News media</a>, who huffed and puffed.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) <a href="https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/supreme-court-voting-rights-section-2/" target="_blank">One would expect the <i>Nation</i></a>, better known as the Aryan Nation, to be freaking about the likely Supes ruling in racial districting. Now the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/15/upshot/supreme-court-voting-rights-gerrymander.html" target="_blank"><i>New York Slimes</i> is getting worried about the Supes ruling on the racist district-drawing under DemoKKKrats.</a> <i>Slimes </i>is afraid this will hand the House to Republicans. Dear <i>Slimes</i>: this is why I am not afraid of you one whit. You are behind the curve by MONTHS. The House is already secure with redistricting. What THIS ruling will do is make it impossible to flip enough "tossup seats" for DemoKKKrats to ever win again. The number they are using is 19 lost seats for DemoKKKrats, but Seth Keshel puts the number of R gains at 11-13, or, on top of redistricting, the GOP is looking at 229 to 231 safe R seats. With gerrymandering there is no way even NINE DemoKKKrat lost seats can be recovered. If I were a DemoKKKrat, I'd spend every waking moment trying to "fortify" every single blue district now and forget about flipping anything. In oral arguments on this case, that brilliant Einstein-level intellect, Jumpin' Jackson Brown, compared black people to disabled people in arguing for the special districts. Blacks have now gone to the back of the bus to the short bus.

      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) You know me, I don't believe in polls, but . . . <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/10/13/shutdown-polling-democrats-republicans-00603498" target="_blank">"Polls show" Trump is winning the gubment shutdown PR battle.</a> With the SpewMore shutdown failing, <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/chuck-schumer-calls-forceful-uprising-against-trump-administration?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6043" target="_blank">SpewMore now wants DemoKKKrats to take "forceful" action </a>against President Trump. Really, SpewMore? Two assassination attempts weren't "forceful" enough for ya? <a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/10/democrat-rep-madeleine-dean-fumes-as-president-trump/" target="_blank">DemoKKKrats are fuming that Trump is using unspent money to pay troops</a>, and Trump said <a href="https://x.com/nicksortor/status/1978172694299365574" target="_blank">one unnamed billionaire</a> offered to pay the troops for the month ($6.6 billion !). Well, two weeks into the SpewMore Shutdown, and eight votes later, the <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/10/14/democrats-vote-government-shutdown-two-weeks/" target="_blank">DemoKKKrats still have the gubment shut down.</a> Fine with me. Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-admin-layoffs-target-left-wing-hud-office-that-tried-to-abolish-the-suburbs" target="_blank">terminated 400 HUD employees from the division that tried to abolish suburbs.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) You also know how I hate these kind of stories ("poised to," "looking to," "may") but I think this is the case that <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/article/high-profile-scotus-case-could-outlaw-race-based-redistricting-5927887?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-10-15&src_cmp=mb-2025-10-15&utm_medium=email&est=JUbpcwgWQzV8vArnEBcTI7Ov04vIM51sh7GZoTuFKM3DEt2qlQ%2FqzL3fp3W8%2FWoc%2FWJIfJU%3D" target="_blank">race based districting is going to be struck down by the Supes.</a> Even without that <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/10/13/republicans-battleground-state-announce-plan-redraw-congressional-map/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">NC has voted to redraw its map, adding one more GOP seat.</a> That would, by my calculations, bring the GOP "safe" total for 2026 to 219 (TX 5, MO 1, IN 1, OH 2, FL 2, now NC 1 minus CA 5). Realize, FL could add 3, TX 6, OH 3, and DemoKKKrats may have trouble wining all 5 CA seats, so this margin can grow; and there are a half dozen "Tossup states" so that margin can grow further. And <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/10/14/another-state-prepares-congressional-redistricting-special-session/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">KS just announced it will redistrict, possibly adding another seat to 219 without a single tossup.</a> I think the DemoKKKrats are screwed.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) You know me, I don't believe in polls, but . . . <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/10/13/shutdown-polling-democrats-republicans-00603498" target="_blank">"Polls show" Trump is winning the gubment shutdown PR battle.</a> With the SpewMore shutdown failing, <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/chuck-schumer-calls-forceful-uprising-against-trump-administration?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6043" target="_blank">SpewMore now wants DemoKKKrats to take "forceful" action </a>against President Trump. Really, SpewMore? Two assassination attempts weren't "forceful" enough for ya? <a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/10/democrat-rep-madeleine-dean-fumes-as-president-trump/" target="_blank">DemoKKKrats are fuming that Trump is using unspent money to pay troops</a>, and Trump said <a href="https://x.com/nicksortor/status/1978172694299365574" target="_blank">one unnamed billionaire</a> offered to pay the troops for the month ($6.6 billion !). Well, two weeks into the SpewMore Shutdown, and eight votes later, the <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/10/14/democrats-vote-government-shutdown-two-weeks/" target="_blank">DemoKKKrats still have the gubment shut down.</a> Fine with me. Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-admin-layoffs-target-left-wing-hud-office-that-tried-to-abolish-the-suburbs" target="_blank">terminated 400 HUD employees from the division that tried to abolish suburbs.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) You also know how I hate these kind of stories ("poised to," "looking to," "may") but I think this is the case that <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/article/high-profile-scotus-case-could-outlaw-race-based-redistricting-5927887?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-10-15&src_cmp=mb-2025-10-15&utm_medium=email&est=JUbpcwgWQzV8vArnEBcTI7Ov04vIM51sh7GZoTuFKM3DEt2qlQ%2FqzL3fp3W8%2FWoc%2FWJIfJU%3D" target="_blank">race based districting is going to be struck down by the Supes.</a> Even without that <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/10/13/republicans-battleground-state-announce-plan-redraw-congressional-map/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">NC has voted to redraw its map, adding one more GOP seat.</a> That would, by my calculations, bring the GOP "safe" total for 2026 to 219 (TX 5, MO 1, IN 1, OH 2, FL 2, now NC 1 minus CA 5). Realize, FL could add 3, TX 6, OH 3, and DemoKKKrats may have trouble wining all 5 CA seats, so this margin can grow; and there are a half dozen "Tossup states" so that margin can grow further. And <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/10/14/another-state-prepares-congressional-redistricting-special-session/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">KS just announced it will redistrict, possibly adding another seat to 219 without a single tossup.</a> I think the DemoKKKrats are screwed.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Love it. Look at the <a href="https://x.com/GuntherEagleman/status/1976743562906943662?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">CNN hostette stutter as she finally grasps how may of Rutabaga's evil cabal is being charged or investigated.</a> The consensus is that "The Moustache" John Bolton will be indicted this week.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Gene Reynolds <a href="https://instapundit.substack.com/p/the-insurrection-act?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1281686&post_id=175845850&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=291ar&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">unpacks the Insurrection Act</a>. Bottom line: a President can invoke this without any court interference any ol' damn time he pleases. It's been done 30 times in our history.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) President Trump <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/antifas-mask-slips-trumps-roundtable-sends-shadow-ngo-network-behind-riot-inc-panic?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6009" target="_blank">had a roundtable on shadow NGOs, labeling them "Riot, INC" </a>and the NGOs are in a panic.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) As the SpewMore Shutdown continues, the <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/substantial-government-layoffs-have-begun-vought?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6009" target="_blank">Administration laid off 4,000.</a> I think you'll see these layoffs greatly increase with every passing day. However, Trump <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-says-troops-will-be-paid-amid-government-shutdown-5928072?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-10-11&src_cmp=mb-2025-10-11&utm_medium=email&est=M09EYkdHIBTELl%2Fkf0MjxAU8NL7BoZZedRx82RIBBKUFqEAB5vFhmCSVqOX6%2BrHI%2FiXctRo%3D" target="_blank">instructed SecWar the Punisher Pete Hegseth to pay the troops. </a>This is smart.

Good.. By the way, that line was uttered by a satanist and douchetrundle who was into bondage. The same "medical professionals" who murdered people with the vax are now saying<a href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!0IYn!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F351004ca-66f1-4386-91e0-659ab690ee83_1288x272.png" target="_blank"> we won't be ready for the next pandemic.</a> Well, that's probably good given what you did with the last one.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Layoffs also <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/layoffs-hit-irs-amid-shutdown-standoff-and-theyre-bigger-than-anyone-thought" target="_blank">hit the IRS</a>, where up to 1,400 have been sent packing.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Looks like the <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/supreme-court-hear-arguments-reviving-lawsuit-challenging-mail/story?id=126302629&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Supes are "poised" as the so called news says to remove "standing" as an impediment to bring election challenge suits.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>7) <a href="https://istandforfreedom.com/police-officers-gauntlet-palestinian/?utm_source=actengage&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Boston Po-po were ambushed in an attack similar to the one used against ICE </a>with vehicles blocking the road.

Who woulda guessed that even with no Jews these sanitary napkins can't even get along?

      <title>Today&apos;s News, October 7-8, 2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Straight outta Compton, or, Little Rock where local police would not help enforce federal law in <i>Brown v. Board of Education</i>. I referenced this on Monday, but <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/judge-blocks-trumps-portland-guard-deployment-amid-antifa-violence-ice-targeted-chicago?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5961" target="_blank">"Let's Go Brandon" Williams in Bengahzi-by-the-Lake issued orders for police to stand down if they got distress calls from ICE.</a> This terror-loving toadstool should be arrested for obstruction of justice. "Let's Go Brandon" also signed an order creating an ICE free zone---you know, sort of like the Confederates did in 1861 with their "Emancipation Free Zone."</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Somebody is looking at some internal polls, <a href="https://amgreatness.com/2025/10/08/virginia-ag-candidate-walks-back-texts-fantasizing-about-killing-political-opponents/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=" target="_blank">as the VA AG candidate, Jay Jones, who said he wanted his opponents children dead,</a> has started walking back the comments.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Special Counsel <a href="https://amgreatness.com/2025/10/07/explosive-fbi-memo-special-counsel-jack-smith-spied-on-multiple-gop-senators/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=" target="_blank">Count Dooku (Jack Smith) spied on senators.</a> They are so outraged they are writing sternly worded tweets.</p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_1e679373e8644e5e91567a4f00540a0f~mv2.webp/v1/fill/w_576,h_768,al_c,lg_1,q_85,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_1e679373e8644e5e91567a4f00540a0f~mv2.webp" alt="ree" /><p><br /> </p><p>4) Monday we had word of NV shifting back to R with Rs leading in the state now by about 2,300 (a 6,000 net gain since September.) Now we have OR, with a 2,600 R net gain, mostly because of a D 2,300 l0ss. What that tells me is that people are absolutely FLEEING the Party of Terror and do not want to be associated with it. This is now EVERY. SINGLE. STATE that has reported has shifted strongly to the right, while overwhelming D bastions like DE and RI are shifting, but slower.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) I really don't get this. <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/worse-than-watergate-republicans-demand-answers-after-documents-reveal-fbi-spied-on-9-gop-lawmakers?utm_source=theblaze-breaking&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=AFternoon%20Trending&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%20TheBlaze%20Breaking%20News&tpcc=email-breaking" target="_blank">GOP lawmakers are "outraged" that the FBI was spying on them.</a> But in 2017-18 evidence surfaced at that time that the FBI was using sweeps and illegal FISA wiretaps to spy on several of them, including Marco Rubio.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/07/us/politics/pam-bondi-hearing.html?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">AG Pam Bondi</a>, in testimony before the senate, stuck a pin in the puffadder bloated senators, telling Dick Turban, "I wish you loved Illinois as much as you hate President Trump." Absolutly true. These people remind me of Islamic jihadists. They'd rather strap a suicide vest on their kids than allow them to live in peace with Israel. She also called out the liar Richard Blumenthal, who, shall we say, "enhanced" his Veetnam resume with lies.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Seth Keshel reviews a <a href="https://www.captaink.us/p/inside-judicial-watchs-blockbuster?utm_campaign=email-half-post&r=dx45b&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">very important case before the U.S. Supreme Court regarding standing</a>. This issue halted almost all election integrity challenges in 2020 and 2022. If the Supes rule correctly, that issue will be fixed moving forward.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Trump <a href="https://www.semafor.com/article/10/07/2025/trump-eyes-deeper-energy-project-cuts-as-shutdown-drags-on?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">is adding more green energy cuts as the SpewMore Shutdown continues</a>. Good.

So Trump just <a href="https://sourcingjournal.com/topics/logistics/ustr-port-docking-fees-cbp-pay-ahead-chinese-built-vessel-operators-cosco-oocl-1234782609/" target="_blank">imposed new shipping fees</a> on every ship coming from Chy-na.</p><p><br /> </p><p>17) <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/10/08/government-shutdown-airports-flight-delays-air-traffic" target="_blank">Travel disruptions have occurred because of "staffing woes"</a> but no one can say precisely why? Is this a silent protest against the SpewMore Shutdown?</p><p><br /> </p><p>18) This AI insider says that<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/ai/bigger-faster-more-permanent-all-waves-combined-no-sector-will-be-untouched-ai?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5971" target="_blank"> no sector will be left untouched by AI.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>19) A time for choosing, as <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/business/state-ags-say-europe-is-forcing-climate-social-justice-agenda-on-us-companies-5926064?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-10-08&src_cmp=mb-2025-10-08&utm_medium=email&est=p1%2FJhC75%2FYMdz1m4Odo%2BVtmzvPwf6M%2FyzIYLUlFASjR2tI2wMR6Dgbn1sEZX8m3euAy%2BqvA%3D" target="_blank">many U.S. companies will have to go against either EU climate spooge rules or violate U.S. laws</a>.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Straight outta Compton, or, Little Rock where local police would not help enforce federal law in <i>Brown v. Board of Education</i>. I referenced this on Monday, but <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/judge-blocks-trumps-portland-guard-deployment-amid-antifa-violence-ice-targeted-chicago?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5961" target="_blank">"Let's Go Brandon" Williams in Bengahzi-by-the-Lake issued orders for police to stand down if they got distress calls from ICE.</a> This terror-loving toadstool should be arrested for obstruction of justice. "Let's Go Brandon" also signed an order creating an ICE free zone---you know, sort of like the Confederates did in 1861 with their "Emancipation Free Zone."</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Somebody is looking at some internal polls, <a href="https://amgreatness.com/2025/10/08/virginia-ag-candidate-walks-back-texts-fantasizing-about-killing-political-opponents/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=" target="_blank">as the VA AG candidate, Jay Jones, who said he wanted his opponents children dead,</a> has started walking back the comments.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Special Counsel <a href="https://amgreatness.com/2025/10/07/explosive-fbi-memo-special-counsel-jack-smith-spied-on-multiple-gop-senators/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=" target="_blank">Count Dooku (Jack Smith) spied on senators.</a> They are so outraged they are writing sternly worded tweets.</p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_1e679373e8644e5e91567a4f00540a0f~mv2.webp/v1/fill/w_576,h_768,al_c,lg_1,q_85,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_1e679373e8644e5e91567a4f00540a0f~mv2.webp" alt="ree" /><p><br /> </p><p>4) Monday we had word of NV shifting back to R with Rs leading in the state now by about 2,300 (a 6,000 net gain since September.) Now we have OR, with a 2,600 R net gain, mostly because of a D 2,300 l0ss. What that tells me is that people are absolutely FLEEING the Party of Terror and do not want to be associated with it. This is now EVERY. SINGLE. STATE that has reported has shifted strongly to the right, while overwhelming D bastions like DE and RI are shifting, but slower.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) I really don't get this. <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/worse-than-watergate-republicans-demand-answers-after-documents-reveal-fbi-spied-on-9-gop-lawmakers?utm_source=theblaze-breaking&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=AFternoon%20Trending&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%20TheBlaze%20Breaking%20News&tpcc=email-breaking" target="_blank">GOP lawmakers are "outraged" that the FBI was spying on them.</a> But in 2017-18 evidence surfaced at that time that the FBI was using sweeps and illegal FISA wiretaps to spy on several of them, including Marco Rubio.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/07/us/politics/pam-bondi-hearing.html?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">AG Pam Bondi</a>, in testimony before the senate, stuck a pin in the puffadder bloated senators, telling Dick Turban, "I wish you loved Illinois as much as you hate President Trump." Absolutly true. These people remind me of Islamic jihadists. They'd rather strap a suicide vest on their kids than allow them to live in peace with Israel. She also called out the liar Richard Blumenthal, who, shall we say, "enhanced" his Veetnam resume with lies.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Seth Keshel reviews a <a href="https://www.captaink.us/p/inside-judicial-watchs-blockbuster?utm_campaign=email-half-post&r=dx45b&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">very important case before the U.S. Supreme Court regarding standing</a>. This issue halted almost all election integrity challenges in 2020 and 2022. If the Supes rule correctly, that issue will be fixed moving forward.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Trump <a href="https://www.semafor.com/article/10/07/2025/trump-eyes-deeper-energy-project-cuts-as-shutdown-drags-on?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">is adding more green energy cuts as the SpewMore Shutdown continues</a>. Good. Make it excruciatingly painful for DemoKKKrats to stay out.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) DemoKKKrat pollster<a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2025/10/06/mark_penn_the_democratic_party_is_being_driven_by_the_left_wing_and_the_dsa_office_holders_are_scared_of_them.html" target="_blank"> Mark Penn </a>warns that the DemoKKKrat Party is being run by the rabid left and that the D.C. crowd is afraid of them.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) Columbia U.<a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/education/news/columbia-university-braces-for-potential-20-million-burden-as-new-h-1b-visa-fee-targets-universities/articleshow/124369338.cms" target="_blank"> braces for a $20 million fee</a> related to H1B visas.</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) The Senate just <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1975691703240552655" target="_blank">confirmed 107 of Trump's nominees in a single vote.</a> This now <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/10/07/senate-republicans-trump-nominees-biden" target="_blank">puts Trump ahead of Rutabaga in confirmations.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>12) Oklahoma cops along with ICE<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/oklahoma-troopers-ice-detain-120-illegal-immigrants-three-day-interstate-enforcement-sweep" target="_blank"> detained 120 illlegal criminal invaders.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>13) The DOJ says a <a href="https://justthenews.com/government/federal-agencies/justice-department-alleges-chicago-gang-leader-offered-10k-bounty-kill" target="_blank">gang-banger from Benghazi-by-the-Lake offered a hitman $10k to kill a Border Patrol agent.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>14) The Administration <a href="https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/1975652487601529146" target="_blank">released no migrants into the U.S. population for the fifth consecutive month</a>.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>15) Steak and Shake Restaurants have <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/business/burger-chain-installs-tallest-and-biggest-american-flags-at-restaurants-nationwide-5925182?autoemail=larry.schweikart%40gmail.com&utm_source=deployer&utm_medium=EmailMk&utm_content=&utm_campaign=new&utm_term=" target="_blank">begun a program of putting up the biggest American flag allowed by local regulations</a> at each of their stores.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ECONOMIC NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>16) Chy-na cheats in trade deals through "shipping fees," among other things. So Trump just <a href="https://sourcingjournal.com/topics/logistics/ustr-port-docking-fees-cbp-pay-ahead-chinese-built-vessel-operators-cosco-oocl-1234782609/" target="_blank">imposed new shipping fees</a> on every ship coming from Chy-na.</p><p><br /> </p><p>17) <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/10/08/government-shutdown-airports-flight-delays-air-traffic" target="_blank">Travel disruptions have occurred because of "staffing woes"</a> but no one can say precisely why? Is this a silent protest against the SpewMore Shutdown?</p><p><br /> </p><p>18) This AI insider says that<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/ai/bigger-faster-more-permanent-all-waves-combined-no-sector-will-be-untouched-ai?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5971" target="_blank"> no sector will be left untouched by AI.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>19) A time for choosing, as <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/business/state-ags-say-europe-is-forcing-climate-social-justice-agenda-on-us-companies-5926064?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-10-08&src_cmp=mb-2025-10-08&utm_medium=email&est=p1%2FJhC75%2FYMdz1m4Odo%2BVtmzvPwf6M%2FyzIYLUlFASjR2tI2wMR6Dgbn1sEZX8m3euAy%2BqvA%3D" target="_blank">many U.S. companies will have to go against either EU climate spooge rules or violate U.S. laws</a>.

The FBI faces backlash for spying on lawmakers, Pam Bondi blasted Democratic senators, and the Supreme Court is set to hear a key election integrity case.

      <title>Today&apos;s News, September 28-29, 2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Even<a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/09/23/trump-unprecedented-presidency-behind-the-curtain?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter_axiosam&stream=top" target="_blank"> the leftists at <i>Politico</i></a>---the DemoKKKrat mouthpiece rag---admit Trump's is the most unprecedented presidency in 250 years. They correctly note that Trump has done more in a few months than anyone other than FDR, and still has 40 months to go! What none of them seem to get is that virtually all of these "new" powers Trump is using, from declaring national emergencies to freezing funds to tariffs to nationalizing troops <i><strong>all are the result of one factor, namely the incompetence/evil/impotence of Congress</strong></i>. It is true that much of this is due to extreme, radical partisanship by the left; but a goodly amount has come because the pork-pushers who are at the behest of donors on both sides cannot function as a body any more. Neither house respects rules or protocols (look at the ridiculous "J6" committee); neither will impose basic standards for doing their jobs (see the treatment of Kash Patel, for example, by the Senate, where tin-pot Palpatines talked over him or would not let him answer. But worst of all, there is absolutely zero diversity within the DemoKKKrat Party. There is a small amount among Republicans such as Randy Paul, Masshole, or MurCowSki. But there is no such person on the left---including Fetterman Massacre, the Human Ox, who talks a good game but votes left. Gubment, like nature, abhors a vacuum and Trump has filled it. Blame them, not him.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) This is pretty big news: <a href="https://oversight.house.gov/release/chairman-comer-subpoenas-bill-and-hillary-clinton-former-u-s-attorneys-general-and-fbi-directors-and-records-related-to-jeffrey-epstein/" target="_blank">House Oversight Committee Chariman James Comer has subpoenaed Cankles, Bill, and former AGs and heads of the FBI</a>. FUN!</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) President Trump <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/assets-mobilizing-counter-radical-lefts-campaign-terrorism-against-ice-agents-facilities?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5875" target="_blank">sent troops into Portland to protect all federal properties and to use "full force" if resisted</a>. Meanwhile, AG Pam Bondi deployed hundreds in an anti-fascist-antifa sweep nationwide.<a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/just-in-counterterrorism-agents-arrive-at-besieged-ice-facility-outside-chicago-cmc/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank"> Counterterrorism agents arrived outside an ICE facility in </a>Benghazi-by-the-Lake.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) How desperate are DemoKKKrats? <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/09/28/trump-democrats-tough-on-crime" target="_blank">Many are trying to escape their "defund the police" positions and are talking "tough on crime." </a>Two big problems for DemoKKKrats that they haven't come to grips with: First, many (and in some cases, most) crime is committed by illegal criminal alien invaders, and second, a great deal of crime is committed by blacks, especially violent crime. Tweaks may look impressive, but when you have headline-grabbing Portland rioters, "revamping" police procedures as some suggest won't cut it. Oh, and meanwhile, they are talking about shutting down gubment cuz Trump won't fund their illegal criminal alien ops, <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/09/27/senate-democrats-campaign-committee-napa-california-retreat-government-shutdown-kirsten-gillibrand-haley-stevens-angela-alsobrooks/" target="_blank">while planning a luxurious resort getaway for their rich members.</a> THE DEMOKKKRAT PARTY IS A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Te <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/09/28/trump-democrats-tough-on-crime" target="_blank">oleaginous Grusome called Trump aide Stephen Miller (a Jew) a "fascist" </a>on his official governor page, then spent the whole day defending it.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) I understand that it's tough to keep up with all these numbers but we have three different processes going on. All three are working against the DemoKKKrats. First, you have odd-year voter registration purges, which most states require. The total so far is that Rs have lost 100,000, Ds have lost 1.3 million. As far as I can tell, two major Kollyfornia counties, Orange and New Azteca (LA) have <strong>not</strong> reported in, which will add perhaps another <strong>600,000</strong> to the margin. In other words, Ds by the end of this year will have net lost about 2 million voters nationally, but probably many more, as all states haven't complete the voter roll purges. Second, we have on a daily basis illegals being deported (2 million so far). Let's say half of those voted, and of that half, 90% voted DemoKKKrat, so that's another 900,000 off the D side of the ledger. Finally, you have voter registration shifts, which have been massive. At last look, and that was a while ago, they stood at 1.2 million nationally. That's a total of 4.1 million voters the DemoKKKrats have lost since November 2024. However, one big caveat. Since Charlie Kirk's murder, the voter registration shifts have <strong>sharply accelerated</strong>. For example, just last week NC saw 1122 net more Rs than Ds registered, or 2x the previous rate. Likewise in Maricopa Co., since the shooting 2,000 new Rs have signed up, or more than double the previous rate. In short, we can expect that by the end of 2025, in all forms, Rs will have net gained about <strong>5 million.</strong></p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Look at the <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/energy-oil/bp-approves-tiber-guadalupe-project-in-gulf-of-mexico-d4aadfd6?mod=energy-oil_news_article_pos3&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">pro-Trump shift in white voters here: </a>MA+3.3; FL+2.8; NJ +2.8; and more.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Now let's talk yet another factor working against DemoKKKrats, namely redistricting where<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/republican-governor-signs-law-trump-backed-congressional-redistricting-map" target="_blank"> MO has joined TX to redistrict, which gains the GOP an additional seat.</a> So far, TX and MO have a combined 6 seats that are strong R, putting, for now, the Cook Report's "safe" R seats in the House at 218. Still to go (possibly) CA, FL, IN, OH and KS, which will result in an additional net +1 for Rs, or moving the safe Rs to 219---one more than a majority, without winning a single "tossup" district anywhere.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) A former <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/sex-dungeon-former-soros-fund-manager-arrested-allegations-sadistic-abuse?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5875" target="_blank">Soros fund manager was arrested on all sorts of sex abuse charges.</a> He kept a sex dungeon.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) <a href="https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/266787/planned-parenthood-could-owe-1-dollars-8-cents-billion-in-medicaid-fraud-lawsuit" target="_blank">Planned Murderhood could owe as much as $1.8 billion</a> in a Medicare fraud lawsuit.</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/eric-adams-drops-out-of-nyc-mayoral-race-5921467?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-09-28-2&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-09-28-2&utm_medium=email&est=tbeOmMzddq53lOU7evlMzYHvwlE8%2FCj0ahcv26YBbRVvXySLZda0lpfwiFKCxCoK6V%2Fz1Uw%3D" target="_blank">Eric the Red Adams dropped out of the mayor race</a> in New Kabul (NYC) leaving only the Amazing Zohran and Andrew (Nipplepin Venthoarder) and Curtis Sliwa as opposition. Realistically, Sliwa would have to drop and endorse Cuomo to even have a hope of stopping the Amazing Zohran. It didn't help Adams that the Hoax Media turned against him or that Rutabaga put him on the naughty list.</p><p><br /> </p><p>12) President Trump calls it an<a href="https://protrumpnews.com/trump-releases-statement-after-shooting-at-michigan-church/" target="_blank"> epidemic of violence</a>: there was another church shooting, this time at an LDS Church in Michigan, where the suspect, Thomas Sanford, is down according to Grand Banc police.. He<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/4-killed-8-injured-in-shooting-and-fire-at-michigan-church-suspect-identified-5921460?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank"> killed at least four with others wounded.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>13) The <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/serial-killer-fbi-informant-tricked-feds-for-years-while-preying-on-victims-former-agent" target="_blank">FBI had an informant under George </a>W. Bush <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/serial-killer-fbi-informant-tricked-feds-for-years-while-preying-on-victims-former-agent" target="_blank">who was in fact a serial killer using FBI data to target victims</a>. The FBI still has major problems. Meanwhile, Kash Patel found that James Scrotumtoter <a href="https://x.com/prayingmedic/status/1972662870287487316" target="_blank">Comey was running a "honeypot" operation off the books gainst Trump in 2016.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>14) I love it. The <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/09/28/energy-department-climate-change-emissions-banned-words-00583649?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Energy Department has added "climate change" and "emissions" to its banned words list</a>. Time to talk correctly and accurately again.</p><p><br /> </p><p>15) The GAO reported that <a href="https://justthenews.com/government/federal-agencies/fraudsters-stole-about-320-million-snap-benefits-over-2-year-period-gao?utm_source=daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter" target="_blank">fraudsters stole over $320 million</a> in SNAP (nutrition) benefits over a 2-year period.</p><p><br /> </p><p>16) See, God answers prayer.<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/sep/28/us-mass-resignation-federal-workers" target="_blank"> It is increasingly likely that 100,000 gubment toontrimmers will resign or take early retiremen</a>t if the DemoKKKrats shut down gubment.<a href="http://gubment.as/" target="_blank"> Trump will</a> continue to fire them.</p><p><br /> </p><p>17) The White House <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/09/27/white-house-names-nearly-30-democrat-officials-as/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">has named 30 DemoKKKrat leaders for what they are, "political agitators."</a> The Prancing Gheyboy Tampon Timmy is on the list.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>18) A Virginia judge said that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fairfax-prosecutor-broke-law-by-treating-illegals-more-favorably-ag-alleges" target="_blank">a DemoKKKrat prosecutor broke the law by treating illegal criminal invaders more favorably than Americans.</a> This is pure replacement theory.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>19) Ryan Burge notes that there is <a href="https://www.graphsaboutreligion.com/p/how-social-issues-are-driving-a-wedge?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1561197&post_id=160162246&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">a gender gap, but one that (almost) is driven by ideology.</a> Even so, it is obvious in every age cohort, mostly on so called "social issues." Society has failed men, no doubt, but it is increasingly clear that churches in particular have failed women to allow them to drift into liberal spoogepools.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ECONOMIC NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>20) The Trump administration <a href="https://lists.theepochtimes.com/archive/4scVLeUxMz/RontmvJPy/gafIgsJ8MSV" target="_blank">is breaking the ChiCom stranglehold on rare earth minerals.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>21) The <a href="https://americafirstreport.com/department-of-energy-returning-13b-climate-agenda-funding-to-taxpayers/" target="_blank">Department of Energy will return $13.4 billion to taxpayers from recouped fraud</a>.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Even<a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/09/23/trump-unprecedented-presidency-behind-the-curtain?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter_axiosam&stream=top" target="_blank"> the leftists at <i>Politico</i></a>---the DemoKKKrat mouthpiece rag---admit Trump's is the most unprecedented presidency in 250 years. They correctly note that Trump has done more in a few months than anyone other than FDR, and still has 40 months to go! What none of them seem to get is that virtually all of these "new" powers Trump is using, from declaring national emergencies to freezing funds to tariffs to nationalizing troops <i><strong>all are the result of one factor, namely the incompetence/evil/impotence of Congress</strong></i>. It is true that much of this is due to extreme, radical partisanship by the left; but a goodly amount has come because the pork-pushers who are at the behest of donors on both sides cannot function as a body any more. Neither house respects rules or protocols (look at the ridiculous "J6" committee); neither will impose basic standards for doing their jobs (see the treatment of Kash Patel, for example, by the Senate, where tin-pot Palpatines talked over him or would not let him answer. But worst of all, there is absolutely zero diversity within the DemoKKKrat Party. There is a small amount among Republicans such as Randy Paul, Masshole, or MurCowSki. But there is no such person on the left---including Fetterman Massacre, the Human Ox, who talks a good game but votes left. Gubment, like nature, abhors a vacuum and Trump has filled it. Blame them, not him.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) This is pretty big news: <a href="https://oversight.house.gov/release/chairman-comer-subpoenas-bill-and-hillary-clinton-former-u-s-attorneys-general-and-fbi-directors-and-records-related-to-jeffrey-epstein/" target="_blank">House Oversight Committee Chariman James Comer has subpoenaed Cankles, Bill, and former AGs and heads of the FBI</a>. FUN!</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) President Trump <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/assets-mobilizing-counter-radical-lefts-campaign-terrorism-against-ice-agents-facilities?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5875" target="_blank">sent troops into Portland to protect all federal properties and to use "full force" if resisted</a>. Meanwhile, AG Pam Bondi deployed hundreds in an anti-fascist-antifa sweep nationwide.<a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/just-in-counterterrorism-agents-arrive-at-besieged-ice-facility-outside-chicago-cmc/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank"> Counterterrorism agents arrived outside an ICE facility in </a>Benghazi-by-the-Lake.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) How desperate are DemoKKKrats? <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/09/28/trump-democrats-tough-on-crime" target="_blank">Many are trying to escape their "defund the police" positions and are talking "tough on crime." </a>Two big problems for DemoKKKrats that they haven't come to grips with: First, many (and in some cases, most) crime is committed by illegal criminal alien invaders, and second, a great deal of crime is committed by blacks, especially violent crime. Tweaks may look impressive, but when you have headline-grabbing Portland rioters, "revamping" police procedures as some suggest won't cut it. Oh, and meanwhile, they are talking about shutting down gubment cuz Trump won't fund their illegal criminal alien ops, <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/09/27/senate-democrats-campaign-committee-napa-california-retreat-government-shutdown-kirsten-gillibrand-haley-stevens-angela-alsobrooks/" target="_blank">while planning a luxurious resort getaway for their rich members.</a> THE DEMOKKKRAT PARTY IS A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Te <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/09/28/trump-democrats-tough-on-crime" target="_blank">oleaginous Grusome called Trump aide Stephen Miller (a Jew) a "fascist" </a>on his official governor page, then spent the whole day defending it.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) I understand that it's tough to keep up with all these numbers but we have three different processes going on. All three are working against the DemoKKKrats. First, you have odd-year voter registration purges, which most states require. The total so far is that Rs have lost 100,000, Ds have lost 1.3 million. As far as I can tell, two major Kollyfornia counties, Orange and New Azteca (LA) have <strong>not</strong> reported in, which will add perhaps another <strong>600,000</strong> to the margin. In other words, Ds by the end of this year will have net lost about 2 million voters nationally, but probably many more, as all states haven't complete the voter roll purges. Second, we have on a daily basis illegals being deported (2 million so far). Let's say half of those voted, and of that half, 90% voted DemoKKKrat, so that's another 900,000 off the D side of the ledger. Finally, you have voter registration shifts, which have been massive. At last look, and that was a while ago, they stood at 1.2 million nationally. That's a total of 4.1 million voters the DemoKKKrats have lost since November 2024. However, one big caveat. Since Charlie Kirk's murder, the voter registration shifts have <strong>sharply accelerated</strong>. For example, just last week NC saw 1122 net more Rs than Ds registered, or 2x the previous rate. Likewise in Maricopa Co., since the shooting 2,000 new Rs have signed up, or more than double the previous rate. In short, we can expect that by the end of 2025, in all forms, Rs will have net gained about <strong>5 million.</strong></p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Look at the <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/energy-oil/bp-approves-tiber-guadalupe-project-in-gulf-of-mexico-d4aadfd6?mod=energy-oil_news_article_pos3&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">pro-Trump shift in white voters here: </a>MA+3.3; FL+2.8; NJ +2.8; and more.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Now let's talk yet another factor working against DemoKKKrats, namely redistricting where<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/republican-governor-signs-law-trump-backed-congressional-redistricting-map" target="_blank"> MO has joined TX to redistrict, which gains the GOP an additional seat.</a> So far, TX and MO have a combined 6 seats that are strong R, putting, for now, the Cook Report's "safe" R seats in the House at 218. Still to go (possibly) CA, FL, IN, OH and KS, which will result in an additional net +1 for Rs, or moving the safe Rs to 219---one more than a majority, without winning a single "tossup" district anywhere.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) A former <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/sex-dungeon-former-soros-fund-manager-arrested-allegations-sadistic-abuse?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5875" target="_blank">Soros fund manager was arrested on all sorts of sex abuse charges.</a> He kept a sex dungeon.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) <a href="https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/266787/planned-parenthood-could-owe-1-dollars-8-cents-billion-in-medicaid-fraud-lawsuit" target="_blank">Planned Murderhood could owe as much as $1.8 billion</a> in a Medicare fraud lawsuit.</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/eric-adams-drops-out-of-nyc-mayoral-race-5921467?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-09-28-2&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-09-28-2&utm_medium=email&est=tbeOmMzddq53lOU7evlMzYHvwlE8%2FCj0ahcv26YBbRVvXySLZda0lpfwiFKCxCoK6V%2Fz1Uw%3D" target="_blank">Eric the Red Adams dropped out of the mayor race</a> in New Kabul (NYC) leaving only the Amazing Zohran and Andrew (Nipplepin Venthoarder) and Curtis Sliwa as opposition. Realistically, Sliwa would have to drop and endorse Cuomo to even have a hope of stopping the Amazing Zohran. It didn't help Adams that the Hoax Media turned against him or that Rutabaga put him on the naughty list.</p><p><br /> </p><p>12) President Trump calls it an<a href="https://protrumpnews.com/trump-releases-statement-after-shooting-at-michigan-church/" target="_blank"> epidemic of violence</a>: there was another church shooting, this time at an LDS Church in Michigan, where the suspect, Thomas Sanford, is down according to Grand Banc police.. He<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/4-killed-8-injured-in-shooting-and-fire-at-michigan-church-suspect-identified-5921460?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank"> killed at least four with others wounded.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>13) The <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/serial-killer-fbi-informant-tricked-feds-for-years-while-preying-on-victims-former-agent" target="_blank">FBI had an informant under George </a>W.

The FBI still has major problems. Meanwhile, Kash Patel found that James Scrotumtoter <a href="https://x.com/prayingmedic/status/1972662870287487316" target="_blank">Comey was running a "honeypot" operation off the books gainst Trump in 2016.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>14) I love it.

Society has failed men, no doubt, but it is increasingly clear that churches in particular have failed women to allow them to drift into liberal spoogepools.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ECONOMIC NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>20) The Trump administration <a href="https://lists.theepochtimes.com/archive/4scVLeUxMz/RontmvJPy/gafIgsJ8MSV" target="_blank">is breaking the ChiCom stranglehold on rare earth minerals.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>21) The <a href="https://americafirstreport.com/department-of-energy-returning-13b-climate-agenda-funding-to-taxpayers/" target="_blank">Department of Energy will return $13.4 billion to taxpayers from recouped fraud</a>.

      <title>Today&apos;s News, September 26-27,2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Someone clearly sabotaged the escalator at the UN then messed with President Trump's teleprompter. Big mistake. He not only called them out, but he went off script and talked for an extra 48 minutes. <a href="https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/1970521445945221590" target="_blank">He called out the globalist human trafficking operations.</a> He essentially told the UN, "Fix your damn countries." In scorching the UN, Trump said they did not contribute in any way to any of the peace deals he negotiated, saying they didn't even call; that illegal immigration was destroying countries; that he was willing to support the Ukes retaking their territory since Pootie-poot has been unwilling to talk peace; but that NATO allies had to stop buying Russkie oil. In particular he lit up the UN over uncontrolled UN-funded mass migration. "The UN is supposed to stop invasions. Not create them. And not finance them." He called so-called "climate change" the greatest con job ever.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) I keep thinking I'll wake up. I've never seen DemoKKKrats so inept on everything they touch. The current threat to shut down gubment <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/09/25/trump-white-house-government-shutdown-mass-firings" target="_blank">allowed Trump to say that thousands would lose their gubment jobs if that happened</a>. And we LOVE gubment shutdowns. OMB director Russ Vought already has a plan to keep ICE, defense, and immigration enforcement running while culling entire departments. As the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/us/politics/trump-shutdown-layoffs.html" target="_blank"><i>New York Slimes</i> admitted</a>, Trump is looking forward to a shutdown.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) File this under "I'll believe it when I see it," but several sources say <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/newly-appointed-us-attorney-attempt-charge-james-comey/story?id=125906268" target="_blank">James (Scrotumtoter) Comey will be charged for lying to congress by the Eastern District of VA's new prosecutor Lindsey Halligan.</a> Also, per <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/09/24/breaking-msnbc-reports-letitia-james-is-also-expected/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">MSNBC, Letitia James will also be indicted.</a> Well, you know what they say about something talks and something else walks.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) There is a big Supreme Court case coming up on "Humphrey's Executor" in December, This limits executives in firing bureacratic appointees. However, the Supes (6-3) ruled that <a href="https://x.com/joshgerstein/status/1970205494095597609" target="_blank">he could temporarily suspend FTC commissioner appointed under Rutabaga, Rebecca Slaughter, until that case is heard.</a> Predictably, <a href="https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2025/09/supreme-court-ruling-trump-dictatorship.html" target="_blank"><i>Slate</i> is freaking out</a>, meaning I'm very confident this is a wonderful thing. In the meantime, <a href="https://x.com/BrandonHathaw12/status/1970993485055725713?t=OBTR3ha2AxN63WCF95V7cw&s=03" target="_blank">a court said Trump could fire the inspectors general.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>5) President Trump <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-signs-order-declaring-antifa-a-domestic-terrorist-organization-5918852?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-09-23&src_cmp=mb-2025-09-23&utm_medium=email&est=Lcn1lsxsJRKYHap2QdDRhEdGXMVWBVTnyrfNNY%2FQMFihfm4P9NoH72OrI0d3K8ZFIsbkFmg%3D" target="_blank">officially designated fascist antifa as a terrorist organization</a>, which it is. Naturally, this automatically forced DemoKKKrats to defend fascist antifa.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) The Donald J. Trump Presidential Library <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/09/23/governor-ron-desantis-reveals-where-president-trumps-presidential/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN%20" target="_blank">will be in Miami.</a> Oh, and in the White House's Presidential Wall of Fame, Trump hung pictures of all presidents, except where Rutabaga would go. There he<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-hangs-portrait-of-joe-biden-autopen-in-new-white-house-presidential-wall-of-fame-5919831?utm_source=morningbriefnoe&src_src=morningbriefnoe&utm_campaign=mb-2025-09-25&src_cmp=mb-2025-09-25&utm_medium=email&est=NDVkDjpZOHFaIxH%2BT%2FR6hO4qUkJdGn2JphfG3wrUjrbAMwkoR%2F2I8lHUa26BusMj6DRtt%2BUECfs%3D" target="_blank"> hung a picture of an autopen.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>7) The <a href="https://amgreatness.com/2025/09/23/trump-smith-mundt-act-to-be-restored-domestic-propaganda-halted-under-charlie-kirk-act/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=" target="_blank">Smith-Mundt Act was restored, renamed the Charlie Kirk Act</a>, to halt domestic propaganda by U.S. spy or law enforcement agencies.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/jury-finds-ryan-routh-guilty-of-attempting-to-assassinate-trump-5918805?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-09-23-4&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-09-23-4&utm_medium=email&est=daOQ2BQDg288QjSqQF%2FQgf8QsOX7pRtNlnGaVhVeRQi2jjXQIgIVMTi83cYe3Itgr8SCTUzf" target="_blank">Ryan "Baby" Routh was convicted</a> of attempting to assassinate President Trump. It only took a jury 2 hours..</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) I know they are beautiful, but here is another example of a human getting too close to the wild, as<a href="https://nypost.com/2025/09/21/us-news/tiger-handler-and-joe-exotic-associate-fatally-mauled-by-tiger-at-oklahoma-preserve/" target="_blank"> a tiger fatally mauled a handler who worked with "Tiger King" in an Oklahoma preserve.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>10) Under pressure from Congress, Y<a href="https://x.com/JudiciaryGOP/status/1970476265343012879" target="_blank">ouTube agreed to restore accounts of all patriots and vax skeptics it had booted.</a> Google execs admitted that the Rutabaga administration forced the company to force contributors off who did not violate Google's standards or YouTube's policies.</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) Lee Zeldin is<a href="mailto:gusvanpelt@yahoo.com" target="_blank"> reorganizing the EPA.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>12) The <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/secret-service-dismantles-weaponized-sim-farms-designed-shut-down-nyc-cell-networks?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5843" target="_blank">Secret Service dismantled sim farms designed to shut down all New Kabul (NYC) cell service.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>13) Republican Jason Dickerson <a href="https://x.com/stphnfwlr/status/1970637913428762788" target="_blank">won the special state senate election in Georgia.</a> In AZ, as expected,<a href="https://christopherrufo.com/p/radical-normie-terrorism?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1248321&post_id=174349098&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> the daughter of Raul Grijalva, Adelita, won his House seat.</a> A Republican <a href="https://confoundedinterest.net/2025/09/23/mortgage-defaults-cdr-surging-after-rate-reset-do-powell-and-the-blackhearts-wait-too-long/" target="_blank">won the Mobile mayorship.</a> Meanwhile, in <a href="https://x.com/BostinNational/status/1970508087778775181" target="_blank">KS Republicans look to pick up yet another redistricted seat</a>. By my count this is (likely new R seats) OH=2, TX=5, KS=1, FL=2, and MO=1. That's a net of 6 after Kollyfornia subtracts 5, meaning based on Cook's recent analysis of 212 "safe" GOP seats, Republicans go into 2026 with a majority of 218, not counting any D-R flips. Here is the funny thing: DemoKKKrat "influencers" such as<a href="https://x.com/Noahpinion/status/1970745564611650030" target="_blank"> Noah Smith admit that the public <i>hates</i> DemoKKKrat "ideas." </a>But it is so much more than that. It's not issues---it's the fact that nearly every single issue comes down to the fact that the public believes, rightly, that DemoKKKrats want them dead. They want to abort them, vax them, regulate their indoor temperatures to dangerous levels, force feed them Big Pharma/Big Ag poison. The public rightly believes that DEMOKKKRATS WANT THEM DEAD, and that they celebrate death at every opportunity.</p><p><br /> </p><p>14) There is a<a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5519961-sherill-ciattarelli-poll-results/" target="_blank"> tie in the NJ governor's race.</a> I don't expect Sears-Earle to pull it out in VA but I think NJ will be razor thin.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>15) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/ice-agents-wont-comply-with-californias-unconstitutional-face-mask-ban-dhs-5918790?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-09-23&src_cmp=mb-2025-09-23&utm_medium=email&est=mifDJpMD0JCw7z4UFWNo%2B6MlfXgIRMWcyeZecxaIgjmW1lizi3cEeZOswtmjxjj1JyepMRk%3D" target="_blank">ICE agents will not comply with a Kollyfornia law</a> banning law enforcement or immigration agents from wearing masks.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Someone clearly sabotaged the escalator at the UN then messed with President Trump's teleprompter. Big mistake. He not only called them out, but he went off script and talked for an extra 48 minutes. <a href="https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/1970521445945221590" target="_blank">He called out the globalist human trafficking operations.</a> He essentially told the UN, "Fix your damn countries." In scorching the UN, Trump said they did not contribute in any way to any of the peace deals he negotiated, saying they didn't even call; that illegal immigration was destroying countries; that he was willing to support the Ukes retaking their territory since Pootie-poot has been unwilling to talk peace; but that NATO allies had to stop buying Russkie oil. In particular he lit up the UN over uncontrolled UN-funded mass migration. "The UN is supposed to stop invasions. Not create them. And not finance them." He called so-called "climate change" the greatest con job ever.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) I keep thinking I'll wake up. I've never seen DemoKKKrats so inept on everything they touch. The current threat to shut down gubment <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/09/25/trump-white-house-government-shutdown-mass-firings" target="_blank">allowed Trump to say that thousands would lose their gubment jobs if that happened</a>. And we LOVE gubment shutdowns. OMB director Russ Vought already has a plan to keep ICE, defense, and immigration enforcement running while culling entire departments. As the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/us/politics/trump-shutdown-layoffs.html" target="_blank"><i>New York Slimes</i> admitted</a>, Trump is looking forward to a shutdown.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) File this under "I'll believe it when I see it," but several sources say <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/newly-appointed-us-attorney-attempt-charge-james-comey/story?id=125906268" target="_blank">James (Scrotumtoter) Comey will be charged for lying to congress by the Eastern District of VA's new prosecutor Lindsey Halligan.</a> Also, per <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/09/24/breaking-msnbc-reports-letitia-james-is-also-expected/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">MSNBC, Letitia James will also be indicted.</a> Well, you know what they say about something talks and something else walks.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) There is a big Supreme Court case coming up on "Humphrey's Executor" in December, This limits executives in firing bureacratic appointees. However, the Supes (6-3) ruled that <a href="https://x.com/joshgerstein/status/1970205494095597609" target="_blank">he could temporarily suspend FTC commissioner appointed under Rutabaga, Rebecca Slaughter, until that case is heard.</a> Predictably, <a href="https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2025/09/supreme-court-ruling-trump-dictatorship.html" target="_blank"><i>Slate</i> is freaking out</a>, meaning I'm very confident this is a wonderful thing. In the meantime, <a href="https://x.com/BrandonHathaw12/status/1970993485055725713?t=OBTR3ha2AxN63WCF95V7cw&s=03" target="_blank">a court said Trump could fire the inspectors general.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>5) President Trump <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-signs-order-declaring-antifa-a-domestic-terrorist-organization-5918852?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-09-23&src_cmp=mb-2025-09-23&utm_medium=email&est=Lcn1lsxsJRKYHap2QdDRhEdGXMVWBVTnyrfNNY%2FQMFihfm4P9NoH72OrI0d3K8ZFIsbkFmg%3D" target="_blank">officially designated fascist antifa as a terrorist organization</a>, which it is. Naturally, this automatically forced DemoKKKrats to defend fascist antifa.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) The Donald J. Trump Presidential Library <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/09/23/governor-ron-desantis-reveals-where-president-trumps-presidential/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN%20" target="_blank">will be in Miami.</a> Oh, and in the White House's Presidential Wall of Fame, Trump hung pictures of all presidents, except where Rutabaga would go.

By my count this is (likely new R seats) OH=2, TX=5, KS=1, FL=2, and MO=1. That's a net of 6 after Kollyfornia subtracts 5, meaning based on Cook's recent analysis of 212 "safe" GOP seats, Republicans go into 2026 with a majority of 218, not counting any D-R flips. Here is the funny thing: DemoKKKrat "influencers" such as<a href="https://x.com/Noahpinion/status/1970745564611650030" target="_blank"> Noah Smith admit that the public <i>hates</i> DemoKKKrat "ideas." </a>But it is so much more than that. It's not issues---it's the fact that nearly every single issue comes down to the fact that the public believes, rightly, that DemoKKKrats want them dead. They want to abort them, vax them, regulate their indoor temperatures to dangerous levels, force feed them Big Pharma/Big Ag poison. The public rightly believes that DEMOKKKRATS WANT THEM DEAD, and that they celebrate death at every opportunity.</p><p><br /> </p><p>14) There is a<a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5519961-sherill-ciattarelli-poll-results/" target="_blank"> tie in the NJ governor's race.</a> I don't expect Sears-Earle to pull it out in VA but I think NJ will be razor thin.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>15) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/ice-agents-wont-comply-with-californias-unconstitutional-face-mask-ban-dhs-5918790?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-09-23&src_cmp=mb-2025-09-23&utm_medium=email&est=mifDJpMD0JCw7z4UFWNo%2B6MlfXgIRMWcyeZecxaIgjmW1lizi3cEeZOswtmjxjj1JyepMRk%3D" target="_blank">ICE agents will not comply with a Kollyfornia law</a> banning law enforcement or immigration agents from wearing masks.

      <title>Today&apos;s News, September 23-25, 2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Someone clearly sabotaged the escalator at the UN then messed with President Trump's teleprompter. Big mistake. He not only called them out, but he went off script and talked for an extra 48 minutes. <a href="https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/1970521445945221590" target="_blank">He called out the globalist human trafficking operations.</a> He essentially told the UN, "Fix your damn countries." In scorching the UN, Trump said they did not contribute in any way to any of the peace deals he negotiated, saying they didn't even call; that illegal immigration was destroying countries; that he was willing to support the Ukes retaking their territory since Pootie-poot has been unwilling to talk peace; but that NATO allies had to stop buying Russkie oil. In particular he lit up the UN over uncontrolled UN-funded mass migration. "The UN is supposed to stop invasions. Not create them. And not finance them." He called so-called "climate change" the greatest con job ever.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) I keep thinking I'll wake up. I've never seen DemoKKKrats so inept on everything they touch. The current threat to shut down gubment <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/09/25/trump-white-house-government-shutdown-mass-firings" target="_blank">allowed Trump to say that thousands would lose their gubment jobs if that happened</a>. And we LOVE gubment shutdowns. OMB director Russ Vought already has a plan to keep ICE, defense, and immigration enforcement running while culling entire departments. As the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/us/politics/trump-shutdown-layoffs.html" target="_blank"><i>New York Slimes</i> admitted</a>, Trump is looking forward to a shutdown.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) File this under "I'll believe it when I see it," but several sources say <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/newly-appointed-us-attorney-attempt-charge-james-comey/story?id=125906268" target="_blank">James (Scrotumtoter) Comey will be charged for lying to congress by the Eastern District of VA's new prosecutor Lindsey Halligan.</a> Also, per <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/09/24/breaking-msnbc-reports-letitia-james-is-also-expected/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">MSNBC, Letitia James will also be indicted.</a> Well, you know what they say about something talks and something else walks.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) There is a big Supreme Court case coming up on "Humphrey's Executor" in December, This limits executives in firing bureacratic appointees. However, the Supes (6-3) ruled that <a href="https://x.com/joshgerstein/status/1970205494095597609" target="_blank">he could temporarily suspend FTC commissioner appointed under Rutabaga, Rebecca Slaughter, until that case is heard.</a> Predictably, <a href="https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2025/09/supreme-court-ruling-trump-dictatorship.html" target="_blank"><i>Slate</i> is freaking out</a>, meaning I'm very confident this is a wonderful thing. In the meantime, <a href="https://x.com/BrandonHathaw12/status/1970993485055725713?t=OBTR3ha2AxN63WCF95V7cw&s=03" target="_blank">a court said Trump could fire the inspectors general.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>5) President Trump <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-signs-order-declaring-antifa-a-domestic-terrorist-organization-5918852?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-09-23&src_cmp=mb-2025-09-23&utm_medium=email&est=Lcn1lsxsJRKYHap2QdDRhEdGXMVWBVTnyrfNNY%2FQMFihfm4P9NoH72OrI0d3K8ZFIsbkFmg%3D" target="_blank">officially designated fascist antifa as a terrorist organization</a>, which it is. Naturally, this automatically forced DemoKKKrats to defend fascist antifa.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) The Donald J. Trump Presidential Library <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/09/23/governor-ron-desantis-reveals-where-president-trumps-presidential/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN%20" target="_blank">will be in Miami.</a> Oh, and in the White House's Presidential Wall of Fame, Trump hung pictures of all presidents, except where Rutabaga would go. There he<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-hangs-portrait-of-joe-biden-autopen-in-new-white-house-presidential-wall-of-fame-5919831?utm_source=morningbriefnoe&src_src=morningbriefnoe&utm_campaign=mb-2025-09-25&src_cmp=mb-2025-09-25&utm_medium=email&est=NDVkDjpZOHFaIxH%2BT%2FR6hO4qUkJdGn2JphfG3wrUjrbAMwkoR%2F2I8lHUa26BusMj6DRtt%2BUECfs%3D" target="_blank"> hung a picture of an autopen.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>7) The <a href="https://amgreatness.com/2025/09/23/trump-smith-mundt-act-to-be-restored-domestic-propaganda-halted-under-charlie-kirk-act/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=" target="_blank">Smith-Mundt Act was restored, renamed the Charlie Kirk Act</a>, to halt domestic propaganda by U.S. spy or law enforcement agencies.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/jury-finds-ryan-routh-guilty-of-attempting-to-assassinate-trump-5918805?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-09-23-4&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-09-23-4&utm_medium=email&est=daOQ2BQDg288QjSqQF%2FQgf8QsOX7pRtNlnGaVhVeRQi2jjXQIgIVMTi83cYe3Itgr8SCTUzf" target="_blank">Ryan "Baby" Routh was convicted</a> of attempting to assassinate President Trump.

By my count this is (likely new R seats) OH=2, TX=5, KS=1, FL=2, and MO=1. That's a net of 6 after Kollyfornia subtracts 5, meaning based on Cook's recent analysis of 212 "safe" GOP seats, Republicans go into 2026 with a majority of 218, not counting any D-R flips. Here is the funny thing: DemoKKKrat "influencers" such as<a href="https://x.com/Noahpinion/status/1970745564611650030" target="_blank"> Noah Smith admit that the public <i>hates</i> DemoKKKrat "ideas." </a>But it is so much more than that. It's not issues---it's the fact that nearly every single issue comes down to the fact that the public believes, rightly, that DemoKKKrats want them dead. They want to abort them, vax them, regulate their indoor temperatures to dangerous levels, force feed them Big Pharma/Big Ag poison. The public rightly believes that DEMOKKKRATS WANT THEM DEAD, and that they celebrate death at every opportunity.</p><p><br /> </p><p>14) There is a<a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5519961-sherill-ciattarelli-poll-results/" target="_blank"> tie in the NJ governor's race.</a> I don't expect Sears-Earle to pull it out in VA but I think NJ will be razor thin.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>15) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/ice-agents-wont-comply-with-californias-unconstitutional-face-mask-ban-dhs-5918790?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-09-23&src_cmp=mb-2025-09-23&utm_medium=email&est=mifDJpMD0JCw7z4UFWNo%2B6MlfXgIRMWcyeZecxaIgjmW1lizi3cEeZOswtmjxjj1JyepMRk%3D" target="_blank">ICE agents will not comply with a Kollyfornia law</a> banning law enforcement or immigration agents from wearing masks.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Someone clearly sabotaged the escalator at the UN then messed with President Trump's teleprompter. Big mistake. He not only called them out, but he went off script and talked for an extra 48 minutes. <a href="https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/1970521445945221590" target="_blank">He called out the globalist human trafficking operations.</a> He essentially told the UN, "Fix your damn countries." In scorching the UN, Trump said they did not contribute in any way to any of the peace deals he negotiated, saying they didn't even call; that illegal immigration was destroying countries; that he was willing to support the Ukes retaking their territory since Pootie-poot has been unwilling to talk peace; but that NATO allies had to stop buying Russkie oil. In particular he lit up the UN over uncontrolled UN-funded mass migration. "The UN is supposed to stop invasions. Not create them. And not finance them." He called so-called "climate change" the greatest con job ever.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) I keep thinking I'll wake up. I've never seen DemoKKKrats so inept on everything they touch. The current threat to shut down gubment <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/09/25/trump-white-house-government-shutdown-mass-firings" target="_blank">allowed Trump to say that thousands would lose their gubment jobs if that happened</a>. And we LOVE gubment shutdowns. OMB director Russ Vought already has a plan to keep ICE, defense, and immigration enforcement running while culling entire departments. As the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/us/politics/trump-shutdown-layoffs.html" target="_blank"><i>New York Slimes</i> admitted</a>, Trump is looking forward to a shutdown.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) File this under "I'll believe it when I see it," but several sources say <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/newly-appointed-us-attorney-attempt-charge-james-comey/story?id=125906268" target="_blank">James (Scrotumtoter) Comey will be charged for lying to congress by the Eastern District of VA's new prosecutor Lindsey Halligan.</a> Also, per <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/09/24/breaking-msnbc-reports-letitia-james-is-also-expected/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">MSNBC, Letitia James will also be indicted.</a> Well, you know what they say about something talks and something else walks.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) There is a big Supreme Court case coming up on "Humphrey's Executor" in December, This limits executives in firing bureacratic appointees. However, the Supes (6-3) ruled that <a href="https://x.com/joshgerstein/status/1970205494095597609" target="_blank">he could temporarily suspend FTC commissioner appointed under Rutabaga, Rebecca Slaughter, until that case is heard.</a> Predictably, <a href="https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2025/09/supreme-court-ruling-trump-dictatorship.html" target="_blank"><i>Slate</i> is freaking out</a>, meaning I'm very confident this is a wonderful thing. In the meantime, <a href="https://x.com/BrandonHathaw12/status/1970993485055725713?t=OBTR3ha2AxN63WCF95V7cw&s=03" target="_blank">a court said Trump could fire the inspectors general.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>5) President Trump <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-signs-order-declaring-antifa-a-domestic-terrorist-organization-5918852?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-09-23&src_cmp=mb-2025-09-23&utm_medium=email&est=Lcn1lsxsJRKYHap2QdDRhEdGXMVWBVTnyrfNNY%2FQMFihfm4P9NoH72OrI0d3K8ZFIsbkFmg%3D" target="_blank">officially designated fascist antifa as a terrorist organization</a>, which it is. Naturally, this automatically forced DemoKKKrats to defend fascist antifa.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) The Donald J. Trump Presidential Library <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/09/23/governor-ron-desantis-reveals-where-president-trumps-presidential/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN%20" target="_blank">will be in Miami.</a> Oh, and in the White House's Presidential Wall of Fame, Trump hung pictures of all presidents, except where Rutabaga would go. There he<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-hangs-portrait-of-joe-biden-autopen-in-new-white-house-presidential-wall-of-fame-5919831?utm_source=morningbriefnoe&src_src=morningbriefnoe&utm_campaign=mb-2025-09-25&src_cmp=mb-2025-09-25&utm_medium=email&est=NDVkDjpZOHFaIxH%2BT%2FR6hO4qUkJdGn2JphfG3wrUjrbAMwkoR%2F2I8lHUa26BusMj6DRtt%2BUECfs%3D" target="_blank"> hung a picture of an autopen.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>7) The <a href="https://amgreatness.com/2025/09/23/trump-smith-mundt-act-to-be-restored-domestic-propaganda-halted-under-charlie-kirk-act/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=" target="_blank">Smith-Mundt Act was restored, renamed the Charlie Kirk Act</a>, to halt domestic propaganda by U.S. spy or law enforcement agencies.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/jury-finds-ryan-routh-guilty-of-attempting-to-assassinate-trump-5918805?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-09-23-4&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-09-23-4&utm_medium=email&est=daOQ2BQDg288QjSqQF%2FQgf8QsOX7pRtNlnGaVhVeRQi2jjXQIgIVMTi83cYe3Itgr8SCTUzf" target="_blank">Ryan "Baby" Routh was convicted</a> of attempting to assassinate President Trump. It only took a jury 2 hours..</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) I know they are beautiful, but here is another example of a human getting too close to the wild, as<a href="https://nypost.com/2025/09/21/us-news/tiger-handler-and-joe-exotic-associate-fatally-mauled-by-tiger-at-oklahoma-preserve/" target="_blank"> a tiger fatally mauled a handler who worked with "Tiger King" in an Oklahoma preserve.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>10) Under pressure from Congress, Y<a href="https://x.com/JudiciaryGOP/status/1970476265343012879" target="_blank">ouTube agreed to restore accounts of all patriots and vax skeptics it had booted.</a> Google execs admitted that the Rutabaga administration forced the company to force contributors off who did not violate Google's standards or YouTube's policies.</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) Lee Zeldin is<a href="mailto:gusvanpelt@yahoo.com" target="_blank"> reorganizing the EPA.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>12) The <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/secret-service-dismantles-weaponized-sim-farms-designed-shut-down-nyc-cell-networks?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5843" target="_blank">Secret Service dismantled sim farms designed to shut down all New Kabul (NYC) cell service.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>13) Republican Jason Dickerson <a href="https://x.com/stphnfwlr/status/1970637913428762788" target="_blank">won the special state senate election in Georgia.</a> In AZ, as expected,<a href="https://christopherrufo.com/p/radical-normie-terrorism?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1248321&post_id=174349098&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> the daughter of Raul Grijalva, Adelita, won his House seat.</a> A Republican <a href="https://confoundedinterest.net/2025/09/23/mortgage-defaults-cdr-surging-after-rate-reset-do-powell-and-the-blackhearts-wait-too-long/" target="_blank">won the Mobile mayorship.</a> Meanwhile, in <a href="https://x.com/BostinNational/status/1970508087778775181" target="_blank">KS Republicans look to pick up yet another redistricted seat</a>. By my count this is (likely new R seats) OH=2, TX=5, KS=1, FL=2, and MO=1. That's a net of 6 after Kollyfornia subtracts 5, meaning based on Cook's recent analysis of 212 "safe" GOP seats, Republicans go into 2026 with a majority of 218, not counting any D-R flips. Here is the funny thing: DemoKKKrat "influencers" such as<a href="https://x.com/Noahpinion/status/1970745564611650030" target="_blank"> Noah Smith admit that the public <i>hates</i> DemoKKKrat "ideas." </a>But it is so much more than that. It's not issues---it's the fact that nearly every single issue comes down to the fact that the public believes, rightly, that DemoKKKrats want them dead. They want to abort them, vax them, regulate their indoor temperatures to dangerous levels, force feed them Big Pharma/Big Ag poison. The public rightly believes that DEMOKKKRATS WANT THEM DEAD, and that they celebrate death at every opportunity.</p><p><br /> </p><p>14) There is a<a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5519961-sherill-ciattarelli-poll-results/" target="_blank"> tie in the NJ governor's race.</a> I don't expect Sears-Earle to pull it out in VA but I think NJ will be razor thin.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>15) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/ice-agents-wont-comply-with-californias-unconstitutional-face-mask-ban-dhs-5918790?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-09-23&src_cmp=mb-2025-09-23&utm_medium=email&est=mifDJpMD0JCw7z4UFWNo%2B6MlfXgIRMWcyeZecxaIgjmW1lizi3cEeZOswtmjxjj1JyepMRk%3D" target="_blank">ICE agents will not comply with a Kollyfornia law</a> banning law enforcement or immigration agents from wearing masks.

      <title>Today&apos;s News, September 20-22, 2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) The memorial service in Phoenix, AZ, for Charlie Kirk, was gigantic. All of the State Farm Stadium was full, even seats on the playing field. Some 200,000 more were in overflow. Numbers range from 150,000 to 300,000 with<a href="https://protrumpnews.com/charlie-kirk-memorial-had-over-100-million-streams/" target="_blank"> over 100 million streaming views</a>. Kirk's pastor gave an invitation, and <a href="https://x.com/AnthonysTown/status/1969834431746633957?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1969834431746633957%7Ctwgr%5E0c542f0a24045ea42fc677de74655361ca889507%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwltreport.com%2F2025%2F09%2F21%2Fhundreds-give-their-life-jesus-charlie-kirks-memorial%2F" target="_blank">hundreds were saved.</a> Speaker Ben Carson noted that Kirk was shot at 12:24 pm. He looked up John 12:24:</p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_3e1d23c81a1443bbbb5bcff8b7a8ac57~mv2.jpeg/v1/fill/w_1080,h_423,al_c,lg_1,q_85,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_3e1d23c81a1443bbbb5bcff8b7a8ac57~mv2.jpeg" alt="ree" /><p><br /> </p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Speaking of Dr. Carson, <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/09/20/president-trump-award-ben-carson-nations-highest-civilian/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">Trump will award him the Presidential Medal of Freedom</a>. Well deserved, sir. But in the meantime, Kirk's memorial made clear <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/align/evil-unmasked-how-charlie-kirk-s-murder-exposed-a-diabolical-spiritual-war?utm_source=theblaze-breaking&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Morning%20Trending%20-%20September%2022&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%20TheBlaze%20Breaking%20News&tpcc=email-breaking" target="_blank">the spiritual war </a>that is going on in America right now.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) For what it's worth, the South African prophet Kim Clement, who accurately prophesied Trump's election in 2016 (Kim is now dead), <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Mxd91QZgI0" target="_blank">said a woman would arise to lead the nation</a>, and that the healing would start in the . . . <i>schools</i>. He said the woman would lead a "new party" and would arise in the midst of Trump's term.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) If I could list/post all the haters that I alone have encountered on X, there wouldn't be enough space on my hard drive. Here is just one, <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/some-people-have-die-nj-elementary-school-teacher-resigns-after-celebrating-charlie-kirk?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5817" target="_blank">a NJ teacher fired for saying some people have to die.</a> Meanwhile, <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/another-leftist-shooter-attacks-country-club-wedding-new-hampshire?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5817" target="_blank">another DemoKKKrat shooter at a NH wedding, this moronic toejam shouted "Free Palestine."</a> Dear fungaltoad: first, there is not such thing as Palestine; second, why don't the Arab states take in the Pales and "free" them? and third, what would they do with "freedom?" Many of the other Islamic garden spots are festering manure piles.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) <a href="https://www.captaink.us/p/kirks-martyrdom-created-a-political?utm_campaign=email-half-post&r=dx45b&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Seth Keshel has the latest voter registration updates:</a> Maricopa Co., AZ, now is R=195,000, or 85,000 more Rs than the WHOLE STATE in 2020. All counties haven't reported, but Pima (deep blue DemoKKKrat stronghold is DOWN by 4,000; In just the first few weeks of this month (i.e., the Charlie Kirk effect) PA Rs have gained another 5,400, bringing the D lead down to 169,000 (It was 1.1 MILLION in 2012).</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Definitely not good numbers in this poll, but I'm afraid that right now, it's accurate. One side or the other must win this decisively as the great Rush Limbaugh used to say. <a href="https://x.com/PatrickBashamDI/status/1969916357031452762" target="_blank">Some 37% of Americans say they hate people with opposing views, and 21% say violence against the other side is ok</a>. What do you know? That 37% is right at the number of DemoKKKrats in this country.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) DemoKKKrats are so screwed (volume 139). They can't do a deal with Republicans on the budget because their terrorist base would likely literally kill them, but they don't dare shut down the gubment, either.<a href="https://www.nysun.com/article/congress-at-a-stalemate-over-government-funding-with-democrats-now-demanding-face-to-face-negotiation-with-trump?lctg=1679237530&recognized_email=larryschweikart%40gmail.com&utm_source=MG&utm_medium=email-newsletter&utm_campaign=Morning%20Sun%20%202025-09-22" target="_blank"> Now they want Trump to bail them out. NO.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Trump <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/ice-makes-almost-550-arrests-in-chicago-area-as-part-of-midway-blitz-5917915?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">withdrew the nomination of Eric Siebert</a> as AG of the Eastern District of VA who was plodding and resistant in his prosecution of Letitia James.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) President Trump, in a move that shocked Big Tech, reset the annual H1B fee to $100,000 from $1,000. That, according to Jeff Childers, <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/unprescribed-saturday-september-20?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=174097051&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">"wrestled the out-of-whack incentives back to where they should be."</a> Trump then unveiled a "fast track gold card" for $1 million that allowed someone to jump to the front of the line to be vetted and reviewed---it did not get them an automatic visa. But it had to be in the form of a gift to the U.S., thereby not requiring a new law. Also, it streamlined the bureaucratic process. Taken together, as Childers notes, this is true "Immigration Reform."</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) In PA early voting, <a href="https://x.com/OpenSourceZone/status/1969174866558398569" target="_blank">Rs are 7 points ahead of where they were in 2021, Ds 7 points behind.</a> With a <i>long</i> way to go, Winsome Sears-Earle---who had been given up for dead in the VA governor's race---made a shocking comeback and now <a href="https://x.com/MichelleMaxwell/status/1969752870724534349" target="_blank">Republican counties are turning out <i>much</i> heavier than DemoKKKrat counties.</a> Meanwhile, <i>The Hill</i> now warning DemoKKrats<a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5513327-gen-z-voter-shift/" target="_blank"> they are losing da youts.</a> Normally I'd say "shhhhh," but it doesn't matter. The DemoKKKrats are now in their kamikaze seats, and they have neither reverse gear, landing gear, nor parachutes.</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) <a href="https://shipwreckedcrew.substack.com/p/federal-charges-for-killer-of-iryna?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=284783&post_id=173221820&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Federal charges against the man who murdered Iryna Zarutska</a> mean the death penalty is in play.</p><p><br /> </p><p>12) The <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/09/21/us-news/oregon-sen-ron-wydens-kids-drove-assistant-to-suicide-with-sexually-explicit-behavior-homophobic-slurs-lawsuit/" target="_blank">kids of DemoKKKrat OR Senator Ron Wyden drove an assistant to suicide with sexually explicit behavior </a>and homosexual slurs.

A big dog. He is not, well, young. My advice, having rescued now <i>seven</i> doggies over a 30 year period, is as follows:</p><p>*Big breeds like Labs and retrievers are wonderful, loving animals. But they are BIG. Retrievers shed like crazy. Get one, but be prepared---if you have stairs---to carry a 50-pound or 75-pound dog up and down stairs if they are sick.</p><p>*Remember also that when walking on a leash, a big dog---even well trained ones---can bolt or see something that upsets them. You are both morally and legally required to have control of your dog at all times. Ask yourself, "If Bobo bolts for the mailman, can I restrain him?" (A relative of Napoleon died in Central Park after tripping over a dog's leash).</p><p>*Can you afford your dog? I don't just mean food---our bills on a monthly basis are $100 for food alone---but vet bills. We spent a good $2000 on a Chihuahua I rescued off the street. She had a lot of problems, and died of an aneurism after only a year.</p><p>Get the right dog and you'll all be happy. And despite getting a nice little dog in JJ, I still miss my Stanley.</p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_23ea0a943af349cda5c82eb3d52cb57c~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_528,h_960,al_c,q_85,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_23ea0a943af349cda5c82eb3d52cb57c~mv2.jpg" alt="ree" /><p> </p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_5efc615778624e1ba30a001dcaa3bd45~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_90,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_5efc615778624e1ba30a001dcaa3bd45~mv2.png" alt="ree" />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) The memorial service in Phoenix, AZ, for Charlie Kirk, was gigantic. All of the State Farm Stadium was full, even seats on the playing field. Some 200,000 more were in overflow. Numbers range from 150,000 to 300,000 with<a href="https://protrumpnews.com/charlie-kirk-memorial-had-over-100-million-streams/" target="_blank"> over 100 million streaming views</a>. Kirk's pastor gave an invitation, and <a href="https://x.com/AnthonysTown/status/1969834431746633957?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1969834431746633957%7Ctwgr%5E0c542f0a24045ea42fc677de74655361ca889507%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwltreport.com%2F2025%2F09%2F21%2Fhundreds-give-their-life-jesus-charlie-kirks-memorial%2F" target="_blank">hundreds were saved.</a> Speaker Ben Carson noted that Kirk was shot at 12:24 pm. He looked up John 12:24:</p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_3e1d23c81a1443bbbb5bcff8b7a8ac57~mv2.jpeg/v1/fill/w_1080,h_423,al_c,lg_1,q_85,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_3e1d23c81a1443bbbb5bcff8b7a8ac57~mv2.jpeg" alt="ree" /><p><br /> </p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Speaking of Dr. Carson, <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/09/20/president-trump-award-ben-carson-nations-highest-civilian/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">Trump will award him the Presidential Medal of Freedom</a>. Well deserved, sir. But in the meantime, Kirk's memorial made clear <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/align/evil-unmasked-how-charlie-kirk-s-murder-exposed-a-diabolical-spiritual-war?utm_source=theblaze-breaking&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Morning%20Trending%20-%20September%2022&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%20TheBlaze%20Breaking%20News&tpcc=email-breaking" target="_blank">the spiritual war </a>that is going on in America right now.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) For what it's worth, the South African prophet Kim Clement, who accurately prophesied Trump's election in 2016 (Kim is now dead), <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Mxd91QZgI0" target="_blank">said a woman would arise to lead the nation</a>, and that the healing would start in the . . . <i>schools</i>. He said the woman would lead a "new party" and would arise in the midst of Trump's term.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) If I could list/post all the haters that I alone have encountered on X, there wouldn't be enough space on my hard drive. Here is just one, <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/some-people-have-die-nj-elementary-school-teacher-resigns-after-celebrating-charlie-kirk?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5817" target="_blank">a NJ teacher fired for saying some people have to die.</a> Meanwhile, <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/another-leftist-shooter-attacks-country-club-wedding-new-hampshire?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5817" target="_blank">another DemoKKKrat shooter at a NH wedding, this moronic toejam shouted "Free Palestine."</a> Dear fungaltoad: first, there is not such thing as Palestine; second, why don't the Arab states take in the Pales and "free" them? and third, what would they do with "freedom?" Many of the other Islamic garden spots are festering manure piles.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) <a href="https://www.captaink.us/p/kirks-martyrdom-created-a-political?utm_campaign=email-half-post&r=dx45b&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Seth Keshel has the latest voter registration updates:</a> Maricopa Co., AZ, now is R=195,000, or 85,000 more Rs than the WHOLE STATE in 2020. All counties haven't reported, but Pima (deep blue DemoKKKrat stronghold is DOWN by 4,000; In just the first few weeks of this month (i.e., the Charlie Kirk effect) PA Rs have gained another 5,400, bringing the D lead down to 169,000 (It was 1.1 MILLION in 2012).</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Definitely not good numbers in this poll, but I'm afraid that right now, it's accurate. One side or the other must win this decisively as the great Rush Limbaugh used to say. <a href="https://x.com/PatrickBashamDI/status/1969916357031452762" target="_blank">Some 37% of Americans say they hate people with opposing views, and 21% say violence against the other side is ok</a>. What do you know? That 37% is right at the number of DemoKKKrats in this country.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) DemoKKKrats are so screwed (volume 139). They can't do a deal with Republicans on the budget because their terrorist base would likely literally kill them, but they don't dare shut down the gubment, either.<a href="https://www.nysun.com/article/congress-at-a-stalemate-over-government-funding-with-democrats-now-demanding-face-to-face-negotiation-with-trump?lctg=1679237530&recognized_email=larryschweikart%40gmail.com&utm_source=MG&utm_medium=email-newsletter&utm_campaign=Morning%20Sun%20%202025-09-22" target="_blank"> Now they want Trump to bail them out. NO.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Trump <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/ice-makes-almost-550-arrests-in-chicago-area-as-part-of-midway-blitz-5917915?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">withdrew the nomination of Eric Siebert</a> as AG of the Eastern District of VA who was plodding and resistant in his prosecution of Letitia James.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) President Trump, in a move that shocked Big Tech, reset the annual H1B fee to $100,000 from $1,000. That, according to Jeff Childers, <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/unprescribed-saturday-september-20?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=174097051&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">"wrestled the out-of-whack incentives back to where they should be."</a> Trump then unveiled a "fast track gold card" for $1 million that allowed someone to jump to the front of the line to be vetted and reviewed---it did not get them an automatic visa. But it had to be in the form of a gift to the U.S., thereby not requiring a new law. Also, it streamlined the bureaucratic process. Taken together, as Childers notes, this is true "Immigration Reform."</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) In PA early voting, <a href="https://x.com/OpenSourceZone/status/1969174866558398569" target="_blank">Rs are 7 points ahead of where they were in 2021, Ds 7 points behind.</a> With a <i>long</i> way to go, Winsome Sears-Earle---who had been given up for dead in the VA governor's race---made a shocking comeback and now <a href="https://x.com/MichelleMaxwell/status/1969752870724534349" target="_blank">Republican counties are turning out <i>much</i> heavier than DemoKKKrat counties.</a> Meanwhile, <i>The Hill</i> now warning DemoKKrats<a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5513327-gen-z-voter-shift/" target="_blank"> they are losing da youts.</a> Normally I'd say "shhhhh," but it doesn't matter. The DemoKKKrats are now in their kamikaze seats, and they have neither reverse gear, landing gear, nor parachutes.</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) <a href="https://shipwreckedcrew.substack.com/p/federal-charges-for-killer-of-iryna?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=284783&post_id=173221820&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Federal charges against the man who murdered Iryna Zarutska</a> mean the death penalty is in play.</p><p><br /> </p><p>12) The <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/09/21/us-news/oregon-sen-ron-wydens-kids-drove-assistant-to-suicide-with-sexually-explicit-behavior-homophobic-slurs-lawsuit/" target="_blank">kids of DemoKKKrat OR Senator Ron Wyden drove an assistant to suicide with sexually explicit behavior </a>and homosexual slurs.

A big dog. He is not, well, young. My advice, having rescued now <i>seven</i> doggies over a 30 year period, is as follows:</p><p>*Big breeds like Labs and retrievers are wonderful, loving animals. But they are BIG. Retrievers shed like crazy. Get one, but be prepared---if you have stairs---to carry a 50-pound or 75-pound dog up and down stairs if they are sick.</p><p>*Remember also that when walking on a leash, a big dog---even well trained ones---can bolt or see something that upsets them. You are both morally and legally required to have control of your dog at all times. Ask yourself, "If Bobo bolts for the mailman, can I restrain him?" (A relative of Napoleon died in Central Park after tripping over a dog's leash).</p><p>*Can you afford your dog? I don't just mean food---our bills on a monthly basis are $100 for food alone---but vet bills. We spent a good $2000 on a Chihuahua I rescued off the street. She had a lot of problems, and died of an aneurism after only a year.</p><p>Get the right dog and you'll all be happy. And despite getting a nice little dog in JJ, I still miss my Stanley.</p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_23ea0a943af349cda5c82eb3d52cb57c~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_528,h_960,al_c,q_85,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_23ea0a943af349cda5c82eb3d52cb57c~mv2.jpg" alt="ree" /><p> </p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_5efc615778624e1ba30a001dcaa3bd45~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_90,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_5efc615778624e1ba30a001dcaa3bd45~mv2.png" alt="ree" />

      <itunes:summary>Politics is buzzing—Senate GOP fast-tracked Trump’s nominees, a judge tossed Trump’s $15B lawsuit as “too long,” and NH police foiled an assassination plot on Gov. Ayotte. Trump gears up for another China trip, Erika Kirk takes over TPUSA, and Trump vows to label antifa a terrorist org. Rumors swirl about Harris nixing Buttigieg as VP, Biden’s competency questioned, and Hunter’s ties resurface. GOP registration spikes in NC post-Charlie Kirk’s assassination, while four GOP senators sided with Democrats to shield Rep. Ilhan Omar from censure. Abroad, Europe reels from job cuts and stalled energy projects, while the Pope struggles with China relations.

      <itunes:subtitle>Politics is buzzing—Senate GOP fast-tracked Trump’s nominees, a judge tossed Trump’s $15B lawsuit as “too long,” and NH police foiled an assassination plot on Gov. Ayotte. Trump gears up for another China trip, Erika Kirk takes over TPUSA, and Trump vows to label antifa a terrorist org. Rumors swirl about Harris nixing Buttigieg as VP, Biden’s competency questioned, and Hunter’s ties resurface. GOP registration spikes in NC post-Charlie Kirk’s assassination, while four GOP senators sided with Democrats to shield Rep. Ilhan Omar from censure. Abroad, Europe reels from job cuts and stalled energy projects, while the Pope struggles with China relations.

      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) President Trump was given <a href="https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/1968320300871016729" target="_blank">a full state welcome,</a> according to Piers Morgan, not even accorded any other head of state in Mediocre Britain. If anyone can make MB great again, it's the Donald.</p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_249667f9ccf6493e9b48ac4ea19e54ac~mv2.jpeg/v1/fill/w_815,h_606,al_c,lg_1,q_85,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_249667f9ccf6493e9b48ac4ea19e54ac~mv2.jpeg" alt="ree" /><p><br /> </p><p>2) There was a ridiculously hostile 'hearing" in the Senate with Kash Patel, FBI Director. In one exchange, Sen. Dick Turban asked why the Epstein memo was unsigned. Patel responded, <a href="https://x.com/jackunheard/status/1967959801146777712" target="_blank">"Would you have preferred I used the autopen?"</a> In the rest of Patel's testimony, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/5-takeaways-from-fbi-director-kash-patels-senate-testimony-5915974?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-09-17&src_cmp=mb-2025-09-17&utm_medium=email&est=RHnFSxae6dcWomdQb6qk86PV5VvAmkUvx6xKJlvz55OSbR5vIw2jdHbHnpoXPXr6Tn5l2xA%3D" target="_blank">he repeatedly tried to answer questions, such as those from Schiffty the Human Lemur</a>, who continued to talk over his answers. The Senate absolutely MUST get this crap under control with mics being cut off by the so-called "questioners" so that witnesses may answer, and witnesses MUST be given the same amount of time to answer as questioners have to pontificate. <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/5-takeaways-from-fbi-director-kash-patels-senate-testimony-5915974?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-09-17&src_cmp=mb-2025-09-17&utm_medium=email&est=RHnFSxae6dcWomdQb6qk86PV5VvAmkUvx6xKJlvz55OSbR5vIw2jdHbHnpoXPXr6Tn5l2xA%3D" target="_blank">Patel said the FBI is investigation more than 1,700 domestic terror cases </a>(of which, I'd bet, 1,699 were DemoKKKrat terrorists but the media would hype the one that wasn't as "evidence" that "both sides do it.") He also noted that the original Epstein investigation out of FL was badly botched and implied that critical evidence was neither gathered or was done so in a way it cannot be used in court. Moreover, he said there was no evidence Epstein trafficked youngsters for others and said if there was he would have brought the case "yesterday." While not saying if Epstein was a CIA source, he did say the Epstein definitely was NOT an FBI source.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/charlie-kirks-alleged-murderer-confessed-shortly-after-shooting-messages-show-5915997?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-09-17&src_cmp=mb-2025-09-17&utm_medium=email&est=b0tFamxzxoMcSbriFS2lkr%2B08BapIgccJ1VrIUvsueHn7jZykfbgbrc%2BiJu%2FNhrUxpbU2G0%3D" target="_blank">Text messages from Tyler Robinson to his transoid roommate involve multiple confessions.</a> Robinson has been charged with murder. and confessed to the po-po.

No question. And the gubment is now investigating a group called<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/armed-queers-marxist-revolutionaries-under-investigation-possible-foreknowledge-kirks?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5765" target="_blank"> "Armed Queers" </a>who were a fascist antifa-related bunch of slobberbuttons in relation to their role in CHarlie Kirk's death.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/indian-activists-threaten-texas-business-with-ruin-and-worse-after-owner-speaks-out-about-h-1b-invasion?utm_source=theblaze-breaking&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Morning%20Trending&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%20TheBlaze%20Breaking%20News&tpcc=email-breaking" target="_blank">Indian activists</a> (as in Krishna, not Geronimo) have gone after a TX business that sought reforms to H1B visas. This may be our next big immigration problem.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Terrific news as <a href="https://x.com/realAlexKolodin/status/1968140138493727100" target="_blank">Adrian Fontes, the useless AZ Secretary of State</a>, was handed a humiliating defeat by the Ninth Circuit on violating election law at voting locations. We need this nocturnal netherdweller in a cell.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/ny-judge-tosses-terrorism-charges-against-luigi-mangione-murder-count-stands-democrats?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5765" target="_blank">Luigi Mangione</a>, who allegedly killed the CEO of United Pharma, will not fact terrorism charges but will nevertheless face murder charges. He will be very popular in prison.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) On Monday, AG Pam Bondi did what 20 years worth of conservative whining failed to accomplish: she united liberals and conservatives behind the idea that we should eliminate all "hate speech" laws by saying that we needed to pay attention to hate speech.<a href="https://larrys.substack.com/p/pam-bondi-stepped-in-it" target="_blank"> I have the full analysis here</a>. Needless to say, she <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/09/16/bondi-clarifies-hate-speech-not-prosecute" target="_blank">issued a clarification</a>---which, had she said that in the first place, probably little would have happened. The predictable scatterbuckets on the right, who hate Bondi cuz she hasn't perp walked Epstein's corpse yet, were all over the hate-Pam stuff. (Remember they wanted Matt Gaetz, whose brushes with the law likely would not have even allowed him to be confirmed, let alone serve). Meanwhile the Pamster's department has merely won about 29/30 Trump related cases that have reached a final decision. If you want to know why she's there, despite a gaffe or two, look no further than those decisions. She is the most successful litigating AG in American history. In a few years when all hate speech laws are dead and defunct, conservatives will owe her an amazing debt of gratitude. Meanwhile, <a href="https://justthenews.com/government/federal-agencies/domestic-terror-threatscape-wake-charlie-kirk-killing-muddled-biden-era" target="_blank">an investigation of Rutabaga showed he politicized and weaponized law enforcement against ordinary people following Patriot Day</a>, (J6) which we already knew.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Such upstanding citizens.

Well there was this little investigation into virtually ALL conservatives called <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/09/16/us-news/fbi-arctic-frost-probe-targeted-nearly-100-gop-groups-including-charlie-kirks-tpusa-docs/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">"Operation Arctic Frost."</a> His politicized FBI under Smarmy Wray looked at over 100 groups, including Turning Point USA. <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/freeze-out-wednesday-september-17?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=173851679&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Jeff Childers </a>notes that the FL investigation could be a major shift, as presidential pardons don't cover state crimes, and other state AGs may join in.

He's getting a lot of evidence from the Senate Judiciary Committee, i.e., Charles ("The Lawnmower") Grassley.</p><p><br /> </p><p>12) I can't read all of these in my video, but wow. <a href="https://x.com/yashar/status/1967387545207279965" target="_blank">Look at the numbers that swarmed everything connected with Charlie Kirk after the assassination.</a> They total 23 MILLION new followers.

He also noted that the original Epstein investigation out of FL was badly botched and implied that critical evidence was neither gathered or was done so in a way it cannot be used in court. Moreover, he said there was no evidence Epstein trafficked youngsters for others and said if there was he would have brought the case "yesterday." While not saying if Epstein was a CIA source, he did say the Epstein definitely was NOT an FBI source.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/charlie-kirks-alleged-murderer-confessed-shortly-after-shooting-messages-show-5915997?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-09-17&src_cmp=mb-2025-09-17&utm_medium=email&est=b0tFamxzxoMcSbriFS2lkr%2B08BapIgccJ1VrIUvsueHn7jZykfbgbrc%2BiJu%2FNhrUxpbU2G0%3D" target="_blank">Text messages from Tyler Robinson to his transoid roommate involve multiple confessions.</a> Robinson has been charged with murder. and confessed to the po-po.

Needless to say, she <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/09/16/bondi-clarifies-hate-speech-not-prosecute" target="_blank">issued a clarification</a>---which, had she said that in the first place, probably little would have happened. The predictable scatterbuckets on the right, who hate Bondi cuz she hasn't perp walked Epstein's corpse yet, were all over the hate-Pam stuff. (Remember they wanted Matt Gaetz, whose brushes with the law likely would not have even allowed him to be confirmed, let alone serve). Meanwhile the Pamster's department has merely won about 29/30 Trump related cases that have reached a final decision. If you want to know why she's there, despite a gaffe or two, look no further than those decisions. She is the most successful litigating AG in American history. In a few years when all hate speech laws are dead and defunct, conservatives will owe her an amazing debt of gratitude.

Time to kick that thermostat over to "Stomp." For example, here are some gems from the Party of Terror:</p><p>*Hakeem the Nightmare Jeffries: "We are going to fight this in the streets."</p><p>Fleshtube Porkster J.B. Pritzker: "Time to step out into the streets." (Course Porky has a challenge stepping anywhere. *Then remember Zero, Barack Obama: "They bring a knife, we bring a gun."</p><p>*Nazi, Nazi, Nazi---they called Trump a Nazi over 100 times.

And just like that, the worm turned and suddenly the celebrity haters, the academics, and the Hoax News pimpledusters are fired, forced to apologize, or otherwise head for safe havens in Luxemburg or Rick's Cafe.

(No, Stevie, that was GOD.) <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/charlie-kirk-stephen-king-assassination-reactions?utm_source=theblaze-dailyAM&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Daily-Newsletter__AM%202025-09-13&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%20TheBlaze%20Daily%20AM&tpcc=email&sailthru_id=68950ec1b1b9914c7008fee5&mb=Y" target="_blank">The writer of monster tales, who is worse than anything in his pulp novels, apologized, kinda.</a></p><p>*Much more broadly, there was a massive backlash against the haters who posted vile putrid pusposts on social media. <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2025/09/12/workers-fired-charlie-kirk-reaction-online/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"><i>Many</i> got fired</a>. The Left squealed more: "Free Speech." Ah, my little terrorist friends, companies can fire whom they want when they want for any actions <i><strong>or speech</strong></i> that damages the institution. That is not covered under the First Amendment. Nor are bonehead rants by members of the military, whom The Punisher, Pete Hegseth has vowed to excise from service. <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/employees-fired-suspended-for-celebrating-charlie-kirks-death-5914800?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">Here is a summary of some of those given the heave-ho.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>3) It appears <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/pakistani-native-and-son-face-terrorism-charges-after-explosive-device-found-under-news-van-in-utah?utm_source=theblaze-breaking&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Morning%20Trending%20September%2015%202025&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%20TheBlaze%20Breaking%20News&tpcc=email-breaking" target="_blank">two Pakistanis tried to bomb a media truck covering Kirk's memorial.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>4) <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/09/13/aurora-illinois-charlie-kirk-flags-full-staff-firefighters/" target="_blank">FBI Director Kash Patel says that killer's DNA</a> was found on the towel that wrapped the rifle, and that the FBI has recovered his deleted text messages.

      <title>Today&apos;s News, September 11-12, 2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) The<a href="https://x.com/zerohedge/status/1966331106040426817?t=FkUpNsWEDQXPDf_Oc2O9Sw&s=03" target="_blank"> suspected assassin of Charlie Kirk is in custody,</a> a bilgepickle hater named Tyler Robinson of Utah. His own father turned him in. His bullets had fascist writings etched in them. As <a href="https://technofog.substack.com/p/they-caught-him?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=274771&post_id=173446393&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Techno Fog points out,</a> 33 hours to catch him was remarkably quick, considering it took days to catch the murderous Luigi Mangoine. Related to this, liberal fascists thought they were free to dance on Charlie's grave.<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/bluesky-reddit-democrats-celebrate-charlie-kirks-assassination-trump-declares-war-radical?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5722" target="_blank"> BlueSky and Reddit had hordes </a>of these barbarians. The vomitous rag called <a href="https://www.thenation.com/article/society/charlie-kirk-assassination-tragedy/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"><i>The Nation</i></a> said to remember who Charlie "really is" and called him "despicable"---a guy who never did anything except engage in polite discussion. But to the rescue rode an army of internet sleuths who exposed and doxxed hundreds of crazed fungalnuggets who stupidly posted on social media. So far, more than 50 have been fired, forced to resign, or suspended from their jobs. And The Punisher, Pete Hegseth is just getting started on the Department of WAH! This is the first time in my life time where there have been consequences for left hate. <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/msnbc-fires-matthew-dowd-suggesting-charlie-kirk-had-it-coming?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5722" target="_blank">MSNBC fired the Bushie scrotommagnet Matt Dowd</a>. About time. This guy should have been fired by Bush.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) It turns out that the <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/who-is-the-71-year-old-man-detained-after-charlie-kirk-shooting-who-police-say-is-not-a-suspect?utm_source=theblaze-dailyAM&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Daily-Newsletter__AM%202025-09-12&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%20TheBlaze%20Daily%20AM&tpcc=email&sailthru_id=68950ec1b1b9914c7008fee5&mb=Y" target="_blank">71-year-old man who was first arrested in UT is no daisy, </a>having been arrested multiple times on obstruction, trespass, and sending a death threat bomb-letter to a UT city council.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) As I say below, we crossed an inflection point, not just here but around the world. More on that, but one key indicator here is that <a href="https://substack.com/redirect/2c521748-ce4b-4015-85ca-b04ad8bf333b?j=eyJ1IjoiZHg0NWIifQ.6yw8C4j288QAcQWHX3b3_68bR-HzXc4uFCcCElF-zkQ" target="_blank">Sen. John Can't-Carry-a-Thune has blown through the filibuster option and has started bringing <i>packets</i> of numerous Trump nominees to the floor</a> to be approved in one fell swoop. Only two hours of debate per nominee are allowed. Most will be confirmed by next week. Oh, and out of fear of leftist dribblepoachers, <a href="https://www.nysun.com/article/lawmakers-cancel-public-events-pledge-to-begin-carrying-firearms-as-kirk-assassination-puts-washington-on-edge?lctg=1679237530&recognized_email=larryschweikart%40gmail.com&utm_source=MG&utm_medium=email-newsletter&utm_campaign=Morning%20Sun%20%202025-09-12" target="_blank">legislators may start carrying weapons</a>. Worked in the 1850s. Only one DemoKKKrat terror attack on a senator, when Charles Sumner was hit in a surprise attack by the slave-lover Preston Brooks.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) <a href="https://chrisbray.substack.com/p/the-weatherman-some-brief-thoughts" target="_blank">Chris Bray agrees with me</a>, that we have hit an inflection point and that the Left is losing bigly on all fronts, hence, they are becoming rabid wolverines backed into a corner. They will lose. The only question is by how much.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/09/11/republicans-jan-6-committee/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Republicans on the Hill have named members of a new January 6 (Patriot Day) committee whose mission is unclear. </a>No one went to jail from the first one our side created. Ray Epps is still at large, Michael Byrd is uncharged, and no one has been indicted or even named in the so-called "Pipe bomb" deployments.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Remember how DemoKKKrats were going to match GOP redistricting to neutralize it? Yeah.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) The<a href="https://x.com/zerohedge/status/1966331106040426817?t=FkUpNsWEDQXPDf_Oc2O9Sw&s=03" target="_blank"> suspected assassin of Charlie Kirk is in custody,</a> a bilgepickle hater named Tyler Robinson of Utah. His own father turned him in. His bullets had fascist writings etched in them. As <a href="https://technofog.substack.com/p/they-caught-him?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=274771&post_id=173446393&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Techno Fog points out,</a> 33 hours to catch him was remarkably quick, considering it took days to catch the murderous Luigi Mangoine. Related to this, liberal fascists thought they were free to dance on Charlie's grave.<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/bluesky-reddit-democrats-celebrate-charlie-kirks-assassination-trump-declares-war-radical?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5722" target="_blank"> BlueSky and Reddit had hordes </a>of these barbarians. The vomitous rag called <a href="https://www.thenation.com/article/society/charlie-kirk-assassination-tragedy/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"><i>The Nation</i></a> said to remember who Charlie "really is" and called him "despicable"---a guy who never did anything except engage in polite discussion. But to the rescue rode an army of internet sleuths who exposed and doxxed hundreds of crazed fungalnuggets who stupidly posted on social media. So far, more than 50 have been fired, forced to resign, or suspended from their jobs. And The Punisher, Pete Hegseth is just getting started on the Department of WAH! This is the first time in my life time where there have been consequences for left hate. <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/msnbc-fires-matthew-dowd-suggesting-charlie-kirk-had-it-coming?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5722" target="_blank">MSNBC fired the Bushie scrotommagnet Matt Dowd</a>. About time. This guy should have been fired by Bush.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) It turns out that the <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/who-is-the-71-year-old-man-detained-after-charlie-kirk-shooting-who-police-say-is-not-a-suspect?utm_source=theblaze-dailyAM&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Daily-Newsletter__AM%202025-09-12&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%20TheBlaze%20Daily%20AM&tpcc=email&sailthru_id=68950ec1b1b9914c7008fee5&mb=Y" target="_blank">71-year-old man who was first arrested in UT is no daisy, </a>having been arrested multiple times on obstruction, trespass, and sending a death threat bomb-letter to a UT city council.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) As I say below, we crossed an inflection point, not just here but around the world. More on that, but one key indicator here is that <a href="https://substack.com/redirect/2c521748-ce4b-4015-85ca-b04ad8bf333b?j=eyJ1IjoiZHg0NWIifQ.6yw8C4j288QAcQWHX3b3_68bR-HzXc4uFCcCElF-zkQ" target="_blank">Sen. John Can't-Carry-a-Thune has blown through the filibuster option and has started bringing <i>packets</i> of numerous Trump nominees to the floor</a> to be approved in one fell swoop. Only two hours of debate per nominee are allowed. Most will be confirmed by next week. Oh, and out of fear of leftist dribblepoachers, <a href="https://www.nysun.com/article/lawmakers-cancel-public-events-pledge-to-begin-carrying-firearms-as-kirk-assassination-puts-washington-on-edge?lctg=1679237530&recognized_email=larryschweikart%40gmail.com&utm_source=MG&utm_medium=email-newsletter&utm_campaign=Morning%20Sun%20%202025-09-12" target="_blank">legislators may start carrying weapons</a>. Worked in the 1850s. Only one DemoKKKrat terror attack on a senator, when Charles Sumner was hit in a surprise attack by the slave-lover Preston Brooks.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) <a href="https://chrisbray.substack.com/p/the-weatherman-some-brief-thoughts" target="_blank">Chris Bray agrees with me</a>, that we have hit an inflection point and that the Left is losing bigly on all fronts, hence, they are becoming rabid wolverines backed into a corner. They will lose. The only question is by how much.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/09/11/republicans-jan-6-committee/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Republicans on the Hill have named members of a new January 6 (Patriot Day) committee whose mission is unclear. </a>No one went to jail from the first one our side created. Ray Epps is still at large, Michael Byrd is uncharged, and no one has been indicted or even named in the so-called "Pipe bomb" deployments.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Remember how DemoKKKrats were going to match GOP redistricting to neutralize it? Yeah. Good times. <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/09/12/hakeem-jeffries-democrats-redistricting-push-00559156?nid=0000014f-1646-d88f-a1cf-5f46b7bd0000&nname=playbook&nrid=0000016e-373e-dd25-a7ee-37fea7020000&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Now it looks like there is severe pushback,</a> as many DemoKKKrat congressgoblins do not want to give up one inch of their own territory in redistricting, hence nothing will happen.

      <title>Today&apos;s News, September 5-10, 2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Charlie Kirk <a href="https://x.com/AutismCapital/status/1965849263059144832" target="_blank">was shot at an event in Utah</a>. Word as I recorded this is that he is dead. Suspect in custody. Getting to a boiling point where people are not gonna take it. <a href="https://x.com/GrageDustin/status/1965857820991172794" target="_blank">MSNBC said it could have been a "supporter shooting off a gun."</a> Yeah, sort of like Ryan "Baby" Routh or that decaying slimepocket Thomas Crooks. This one will send shockwaves, and I'm guessing they won't be pretty and they won't be "change at the ballot box."</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) In what is turning into the 2025 version of the Kate Steinle killing, a beautiful Ukrainian immigrant was stabbed to death on a Charlotte light rail. Iryna Zarutska was minding her own business when a bottom-feeding criminal with 14 charges stabbed her. No one helped her. We now have a victim's list of Iryna, Kate, and Lakin Riley (whom Rutabaga could not even bother to name, just as the dumbo Charlotte mayor couldn't manage to say Iryna's name. As the U.S. attorney for the Western District of North Carolina <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/10/us/national-debate-crime-charlotte-stabbing" target="_blank">aptly stated, there is no "other side" to this. "Is the opposite side let's let murderers on our light rail?"</a> The <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-charges-light-rail-attacker-federal-crime?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">DOJ has also charged the feral Decarlos Brown.</a> This, in turn, may <a href="https://shipwreckedcrew.substack.com/p/federal-charges-for-killer-of-iryna?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=284783&post_id=173221820&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&token=eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjoyMzM4MDAzMSwicG9zdF9pZCI6MTczMjIxODIwLCJpYXQiOjE3NTc1MTk2NzgsImV4cCI6MTc2MDExMTY3OCwiaXNzIjoicHViLTI4NDc4MyIsInN1YiI6InBvc3QtcmVhY3Rpb24ifQ.Yb_e7w0qaWFWknrOrLIMYJGkv2jsgMFwZMWksZSE1bY&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">mean the death penalty for Buster Brown</a>, who deserves it. And quickly. But it was typical of Hoax News coverage that even when they managed to mention the victim, it was done so in the typical "Republicans pounce." <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/reality-itself-wednesday-september?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=173268342&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">As Jeff Childers notes, when DemoKKKrats are involved in hideous stuff, that is never the headline</a>. It's always how Republicans are going to <i>pounce</i> on the DemoKKKrat vileness. For example, the <a href="https://www.wsj.com/us-news/trump-crime-north-carolina-stabbing-ukraine-refugee-36965955?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"><i>Wall Street Urinal</i></a> at first ran the headline "Woman's Stabbing Death Becomes MAGA Talking Point" before changing it to "After Fatal Stabbing of Ukrainian Refugee, Trump Says U.S. Must Confront Crime Problem." But based on the latest murders, rapes, an all around anti-social spoogism, it seems we have a <i>black on white</i> or <i>illegal on American</i> problem. Never fear, the ever reliable minVan Jones says the incident wasn't racial but the <a href="https://x.com/Rightanglenews/status/1965776551771001161?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1965776551771001161%7Ctwgr%5Ebf7e092e459e2dd8970f74d52845b24df32af4bf%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2025%2F09%2Fb" target="_blank">official Black Looters Matter account says that these rectal pimples have a right to violence.</a> Oh, and Trump isn't finished with D.C. as <a href="https://amgreatness.com/2025/09/08/white-house-deputy-chief-of-staff-massive-scandal-uncovered-in-d-c-crime-stats/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=" target="_blank">an investigation revealed a massive scandal in D.C. crime stats.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Slowly but surely President Trump is winning all these battles. The <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/09/09/trump-foreign-aid-supreme-court-roberts" target="_blank">Supes just "let" him freeze $5 billion in foreign aid giveaways.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>4) I saw no celebration of this from either our "influencers" or the Hoax News Media. Border Czar Tom Homan says <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/09/06/breaking-tom-homan-has-found-22638-missing-migrant/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">they have found over 22,000 missing children, including 27 of those deceased.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>5) <a href="https://substack.com/home/post/p-173276334" target="_blank">Seth Keshel argues that barring a remarkable alliance of Curtis Sliwa, Eric the Red Adams, and Nipplepin Venthoarder</a> (Andrew Cuomo), the Amazing Zohran will almost certainly be elected, many people in New Kabul (NYC) will suffer, but that it will remined everyone how horrible socialism is. Great Seth, but I wish it would remind them how horrible radical Islam is, because this prostate-balloon is every bit as much a Muslim threat as was Khan in London. Speaking of which, the <a href="https://justthenews.com/government/security/mamdani-years-marked-july-4th-photo-taliban-rapper-who-worshipped-911-hijacker" target="_blank">Amazing Zohran spent years supporting a rapper who "worshipped" a 9/11 hijacker.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>6) DemoKKKrats are <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/09/09/schumer-bernie-sanders-2026-senate-primary-races" target="_blank">having more wars</a>, this time over who will replace some of the dinosaurs. Progs vs. establishment.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Some Hoax News polls are showing President Trump's approval in the mid-40s, but this<a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15062999/donald-trump-poll-approval-rating.html" target="_blank"> UK Daily Mail poll has him at 55%</a>, which I think is probably closer to reality.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Gruesome, the moronic Kollyfornia governor, <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/shows/relatable/newsom?utm_source=theblaze-breaking&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=New-Trending-Story_WEEKEND%202025-09-07&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%20TheBlaze%20Breaking%20News&tpcc=email" target="_blank">wants to do away with the "myth" of clean and sober, suggesting is it not possible for addicts</a>. So Gruesome gives up on yet another reality, that to reduce the druggie and homeless population, you actually have to get them off drugs.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/eyebrow-raising-details-emerge-fbi-raid-john-boltons-home?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5676" target="_blank">John Bolton is being investigated specifically for violations of the espionage act. </a>The contents of his house were, to say the least, disturbing.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) The more we learn about the Rutabaga administration, the more evil it looks. Now <a href="https://x.com/libsoftiktok/status/1963997489888985495?t=khNjCmGxiJ6MI1ZZZenCXA&s=03" target="_blank">new evidence from the Demented Pervert's Department of Education, which targeted Christian higher education and focused on controlling school boards.</a> We also have new evidence that the <a href="https://istandforfreedom.com/biden-autopen-pardons-nonviolent/?utm_source=actengage&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">DOJ warned Rutabaga about the autopen pardons, saying that claims many of the felons were nonviolent were untrue.</a> Rutabaga <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/eyebrow-raising-details-emerge-fbi-raid-john-boltons-home?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5676" target="_blank">did not even review the warrants.</a> Aides said he <a href="https://justthenews.com/accountability/political-ethics/sweeping-wh-autopen-review-finds-scant-record-bidens-approvals?utm_source=daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter" target="_blank">outsourced approval to Cackles</a>. Oh, and we also learned that Rutabaga's DoD funded<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/china/china-exploits-2-5-billion-pentagon-funded-research-house-report-says-5911367?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-09-07&src_cmp=mb-2025-09-07&utm_medium=email&est=p5oFy5QtyP5jOizBTwRmcUzLordqsDS33yo9xAxsZaMZ042KPij6yKephsDmkdIeHK6oM%2BQ%3D" target="_blank"> $2.5 billion in research tied to the ChiComs.</a> Not against them. With them.</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/shows/sara-gonzales-unfiltered/exclusive-interview-biden-assault-accuser-expands-100m-lawsuit-to-include-jill-and-hunter?utm_source=theblaze-breaking&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Active%20Trending%20-%20September%208&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%207%20Day%20Engagement&tpcc=email-breaking" target="_blank">A $100 million assault case against Rutabaga that the Hoax News media wouldn't cover has been expanded</a> to include Jill and Hunter. Bankrupt these fleshtubes. Meanwhile, Rutabaga isn't getting any love from Cackles, who called his run "reckless" in her new book. Yeah, <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/09/10/kamala-harris-calls-joe-biden-reckless-her-new/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">Cackles can write well enough to sign a check to a ghostwriter.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>12) A <a href="https://nyupress.org/9781479828432/the-projects/" target="_blank">new book</a> from Howard Husak found that the leftoid push for public housing was responsible for much of the black/white wealth gap due to forcing blacks into long-term living conditions that, unlike single family houses, did not allow them to build wealth. <a href="https://www.nysun.com/article/a-hidden-explanation-for-the-wealth-gap-on-racial-lines-that-emerges-in-the-push-to-promote-public-housing?lctg=1679929416&recognized_email=larryschweikart%40gmail.com&newsletter-access&utm_source=MG&utm_medium=email-newsletter&utm_campaign=ARTS%20%20on%20Sunday%20%202025-09-07" target="_blank">Blacks make up 42% of the public housing population</a> and are nearly half the population to receive housing vouchers. This isn't temporary: the author found that 73% stay in public housing 10 years or more.</p><p><br /> </p><p>13) <a href="https://x.com/Five_Starrr/status/1964306396184302060" target="_blank">North Carolina continues to trend R</a>, as the latest voter registration numbers show another GOP gain, this time of 1150 net, bringing the D lead down to just 14,000 now (down from 175,000 in 2020) and a GOP LEAD of 94,000 among active voters.</p><p><br /> </p><p>14) <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/my-position-changed-over-the-past-week-the-chicagoans-who-want-trump-to-send-in-the-national-guard?utm_source=theblaze-breaking&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Afternoon%20Trending%20-%20September%205&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%20TheBlaze%20Breaking%20News&tpcc=email-breaking" target="_blank">Chicagoans support Trump sending in troops to stop crime, </a>while Porky Pritzker and Let's Go Brandon Johnson oppose. This is a variation of DemoKKKrat Civil War <a href="https://www.wildworldofpolitics.com/blog/hashtags/1">#1</a>, namely the inner city residents vs. illegal criminal invaders. <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/09/09/trump-ice-chicago-immigration-johnson-pritzker" target="_blank">Trump has dispatched ICE raids to stop the thugoleons.</a> At the same time,<a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/09/08/supreme-court-ice-trump-immigration-la-racial-profile" target="_blank"> the Supes lifted the restrictions on ICE agents in New Azteca (LA).</a> And <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/suspected-sinaloa-cartel-members-apprehended-23-state-sweep-dea" target="_blank">DEA has netted 23 Sinaloa Cartel lint-pickers.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>15) As I said at the time, <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/09/08/iran-no-longer-has-identifiable-route-to-produce-weapons-grade-uranium-after-strikes-nuclear-experts-conclude/" target="_blank">the B-2 raids on Iran were 100% successful, and Iran has no path forward to nukes.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>16) Shocked I tell ya. <a href="https://x.com/OcrazioCornPop/status/1964724451922395558" target="_blank">Boston's first Muslim/African city councilwoman was senteneced to jail for an illegal kickback scheme.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>17) As many of us have known for years, we are living in alternate universes of media coverage, as the Hoax News Media <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/ukrainian-refugee-fatally-stabbed-charlotte-train-career-criminal-another-casualty?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5676" target="_blank">won't even cover the illegal alien colonmonkey who stabbed a Ukrainian refugee to death on a train. Yah, public transpo is just soooooo safe. Remember her name: Iryna Zarutska.</a> The Media sure won't tell you, just as they never wanted to mention the name Lakin Riley. Rutabaga, in a presser, had to be shamed into actually saying her name, then fumbled it. Now you have this fecalbiscuit on Hoax News, Matt Dowd, a disgusting Bushie, who says Charlie Kirk did it to himself.</p><p><br /> </p><p>18) US Attorney for D.C., <a href="https://x.com/gunpolicy/status/1965834468771692561" target="_blank">Jenanine Pirro will no longer prosecute people who have "high capacity" magazines,</a> calling the law unconsatitutional.</p><p><br /> </p><p>19) The Bureau of Immigration Appeals <a href="https://x.com/ReichlinMelnick/status/1964071767606964695" target="_blank">gave ICE the go-ahead to deport any illegal without bond.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>20) There was a bust at the<a href="https://istandforfreedom.com/agents-migrants-georgia-hyundai/" target="_blank"> big Hyundai plant in Georgia, with 475 arrested, many Koreans.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>21) <a href="https://www.dailysignal.com/2025/09/05/conservative-counterrevolution-bringing-common-sense-back-journalism/" target="_blank">Good review here on the rise of conservative media</a>. There are far more voices, many good ones, than we had just 10 years ago. The scales have tipped some, and Skydance, which has acquired CBS, demands it become much more diverse with a powerful opposition presence (i.e., us) and become more fair. One of the problems, though, is that while there are more conservative voices overall, they are diffuse and since the rapid collapse of the Tuckster, Tucker Carlson as a reliable voice, there <i>still</i> is no new "Rush Limbaugh" on the horizon.</p><p><br /> </p><p>22) Kyrene School District Phoenix, despite a rapidly growing population, <a href="https://www.fox10phoenix.com/news/kyrene-school-district-committee-releases-potential-school-closure-list-heres-what-know?utm_campaign=trueAnthem%3A%20Trending%20Content&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=facebook" target="_blank">is preparing a new list of public schools to close</a> with continued falling enrollments.</p><p><br /> </p><p>23) Meanwhile, <a href="https://istandforfreedom.com/trump-pendulum-faith-schools/?utm_source=actengage&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">President Trump has issued new guidance on protecting prayer in school.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>24) Researchers have <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/epochtv/bio-computers-coming-to-the-market-in-2025-bonus-primetime-segment-ntd-primetime-5837076?utm_source=Goodevening&src_src=Goodevening&utm_campaign=gv-2025-09-05&src_cmp=gv-2025-09-05&utm_medium=email&est=PFzZMkfuThn1iFfVT743znuftJvzmpwQEG9qTKgeqj2pE7x2b01b4n0Kq0ZK0dAdOG3go1Jj" target="_blank">created a shoe-box-sized computer with live human brain cells.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>25) When the Supes legalized homosexual marriage, in essence, I predicted to my students that it would immediately result in an explosion of polygamy.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Charlie Kirk <a href="https://x.com/AutismCapital/status/1965849263059144832" target="_blank">was shot at an event in Utah</a>. Word as I recorded this is that he is dead. Suspect in custody. Getting to a boiling point where people are not gonna take it. <a href="https://x.com/GrageDustin/status/1965857820991172794" target="_blank">MSNBC said it could have been a "supporter shooting off a gun."</a> Yeah, sort of like Ryan "Baby" Routh or that decaying slimepocket Thomas Crooks. This one will send shockwaves, and I'm guessing they won't be pretty and they won't be "change at the ballot box."</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) In what is turning into the 2025 version of the Kate Steinle killing, a beautiful Ukrainian immigrant was stabbed to death on a Charlotte light rail. Iryna Zarutska was minding her own business when a bottom-feeding criminal with 14 charges stabbed her. No one helped her. We now have a victim's list of Iryna, Kate, and Lakin Riley (whom Rutabaga could not even bother to name, just as the dumbo Charlotte mayor couldn't manage to say Iryna's name. As the U.S. attorney for the Western District of North Carolina <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/10/us/national-debate-crime-charlotte-stabbing" target="_blank">aptly stated, there is no "other side" to this. "Is the opposite side let's let murderers on our light rail?"</a> The <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-charges-light-rail-attacker-federal-crime?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">DOJ has also charged the feral Decarlos Brown.</a> This, in turn, may <a href="https://shipwreckedcrew.substack.com/p/federal-charges-for-killer-of-iryna?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=284783&post_id=173221820&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&token=eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjoyMzM4MDAzMSwicG9zdF9pZCI6MTczMjIxODIwLCJpYXQiOjE3NTc1MTk2NzgsImV4cCI6MTc2MDExMTY3OCwiaXNzIjoicHViLTI4NDc4MyIsInN1YiI6InBvc3QtcmVhY3Rpb24ifQ.Yb_e7w0qaWFWknrOrLIMYJGkv2jsgMFwZMWksZSE1bY&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">mean the death penalty for Buster Brown</a>, who deserves it. And quickly. But it was typical of Hoax News coverage that even when they managed to mention the victim, it was done so in the typical "Republicans pounce." <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/reality-itself-wednesday-september?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=173268342&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">As Jeff Childers notes, when DemoKKKrats are involved in hideous stuff, that is never the headline</a>. It's always how Republicans are going to <i>pounce</i> on the DemoKKKrat vileness. For example, the <a href="https://www.wsj.com/us-news/trump-crime-north-carolina-stabbing-ukraine-refugee-36965955?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"><i>Wall Street Urinal</i></a> at first ran the headline "Woman's Stabbing Death Becomes MAGA Talking Point" before changing it to "After Fatal Stabbing of Ukrainian Refugee, Trump Says U.S. Must Confront Crime Problem." But based on the latest murders, rapes, an all around anti-social spoogism, it seems we have a <i>black on white</i> or <i>illegal on American</i> problem. Never fear, the ever reliable minVan Jones says the incident wasn't racial but the <a href="https://x.com/Rightanglenews/status/1965776551771001161?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1965776551771001161%7Ctwgr%5Ebf7e092e459e2dd8970f74d52845b24df32af4bf%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2025%2F09%2Fb" target="_blank">official Black Looters Matter account says that these rectal pimples have a right to violence.</a> Oh, and Trump isn't finished with D.C. as <a href="https://amgreatness.com/2025/09/08/white-house-deputy-chief-of-staff-massive-scandal-uncovered-in-d-c-crime-stats/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=" target="_blank">an investigation revealed a massive scandal in D.C. crime stats.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Slowly but surely President Trump is winning all these battles. The <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/09/09/trump-foreign-aid-supreme-court-roberts" target="_blank">Supes just "let" him freeze $5 billion in foreign aid giveaways.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>4) I saw no celebration of this from either our "influencers" or the Hoax News Media. Border Czar Tom Homan says <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/09/06/breaking-tom-homan-has-found-22638-missing-migrant/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">they have found over 22,000 missing children, including 27 of those deceased.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>5) <a href="https://substack.com/home/post/p-173276334" target="_blank">Seth Keshel argues that barring a remarkable alliance of Curtis Sliwa, Eric the Red Adams, and Nipplepin Venthoarder</a> (Andrew Cuomo), the Amazing Zohran will almost certainly be elected, many people in New Kabul (NYC) will suffer, but that it will remined everyone how horrible socialism is. Great Seth, but I wish it would remind them how horrible radical Islam is, because this prostate-balloon is every bit as much a Muslim threat as was Khan in London. Speaking of which, the <a href="https://justthenews.com/government/security/mamdani-years-marked-july-4th-photo-taliban-rapper-who-worshipped-911-hijacker" target="_blank">Amazing Zohran spent years supporting a rapper who "worshipped" a 9/11 hijacker.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>6) DemoKKKrats are <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/09/09/schumer-bernie-sanders-2026-senate-primary-races" target="_blank">having more wars</a>, this time over who will replace some of the dinosaurs. Progs vs. establishment.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Some Hoax News polls are showing President Trump's approval in the mid-40s, but this<a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15062999/donald-trump-poll-approval-rating.html" target="_blank"> UK Daily Mail poll has him at 55%</a>, which I think is probably closer to reality.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Gruesome, the moronic Kollyfornia governor, <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/shows/relatable/newsom?utm_source=theblaze-breaking&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=New-Trending-Story_WEEKEND%202025-09-07&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%20TheBlaze%20Breaking%20News&tpcc=email" target="_blank">wants to do away with the "myth" of clean and sober, suggesting is it not possible for addicts</a>. So Gruesome gives up on yet another reality, that to reduce the druggie and homeless population, you actually have to get them off drugs.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/eyebrow-raising-details-emerge-fbi-raid-john-boltons-home?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5676" target="_blank">John Bolton is being investigated specifically for violations of the espionage act. </a>The contents of his house were, to say the least, disturbing.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) The more we learn about the Rutabaga administration, the more evil it looks. Now <a href="https://x.com/libsoftiktok/status/1963997489888985495?t=khNjCmGxiJ6MI1ZZZenCXA&s=03" target="_blank">new evidence from the Demented Pervert's Department of Education, which targeted Christian higher education and focused on controlling school boards.</a> We also have new evidence that the <a href="https://istandforfreedom.com/biden-autopen-pardons-nonviolent/?utm_source=actengage&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">DOJ warned Rutabaga about the autopen pardons, saying that claims many of the felons were nonviolent were untrue.</a> Rutabaga <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/eyebrow-raising-details-emerge-fbi-raid-john-boltons-home?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5676" target="_blank">did not even review the warrants.</a> Aides said he <a href="https://justthenews.com/accountability/political-ethics/sweeping-wh-autopen-review-finds-scant-record-bidens-approvals?utm_source=daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter" target="_blank">outsourced approval to Cackles</a>.

      <title>Today&apos;s News, September 4-5, 2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) I do have a tiny shred of sympathy for the DemoKKKrats over at<a href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/redistricting-isnt-the-democrats?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=239058&post_id=172688944&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> "Liberal Patriot," </a>who, having failed to get any interest in the "abundance economy" or "good management of cities," how are down to "<a href="https://substack.com/home/post/p-172805877?source=queue" target="_blank">When Trump Screws Up."</a> This is not a strategy. They admit that redistricting isn't the DemoKKKrats' problem (though they fail to point out that the most likely outcome after MO has convened today to take up the issue will be an R gain of 7-8 NET seats after Kollyfornia, or a lock on 219 in the House. Not only does this view fail to ask, "What if Trump doesn't screw up? How do DemoKKKrats win back voters?" but puts Ds in the position of hating and working against success in immigration, the economy, peace, and so on.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Here is another way Trump is just crushing the DemoKKKrats.<a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/09/03/exclusive-team-trump-social-media-accounts-gained-1-6m-new-followers-august-reached-nearly-200-million-more-people-than-democrats/" target="_blank"> Team Trump signed up 1.6 million new social media followers in August and has 200 <i>million</i> more than DemoKKKrats.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Supposedly the <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/missing-minute-epstein-video-found?utm_source=theblaze-breaking&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Morning%20Trending%20-&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%20TheBlaze%20Breaking%20News&tpcc=email-breaking" target="_blank">"missing minute" of the Epstein videos </a>was found. No one yet says what's on it. And on Capitol Hill, <a href="https://justthenews.com/government/local/patel-reveals-fbi-stopped-potential-mass-shooting-north-carolina-preschool" target="_blank">St. Thomas of Spooge is losing support for a discharge petition </a>of the Epstein list as Speaker Johnson says the House Oversight Committee will produce more info than on the list.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Meanwhile, over at the Waffen SS (Stupid Senate), the moronic <a href="https://notthebee.com/article/tim-kaine-just-compared-thomas-jefferson-to-the-ayatollah-ted-cruz-obliterated-him?utm_source=Not+The+Bee+Newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=09052025" target="_blank">Tim Candy Kaine, who looks like a serial killer, said that the idea that "our rights come from God is troubling." </a>Well, Candy, take it up with fellow Virginian. You know, the one who wrote the Declaration? That Jefferson guy.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Trump has officially renamed the Defense Department the <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-to-sign-order-renaming-department-of-defense-to-department-of-war-5910648?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">War Department.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>6) The U.S. <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/feds-intercept-1300-barrels-meth-precursor-chemicals-shipped-china-mexico" target="_blank">seized the largest cache of fentanyl from Chy-na ever---1300 barrels</a> in Houston. Not one DemoKKKrat came out in praise of this.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Another <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/judge-blocks-trumps-22-billion-harvard-funding-freeze/story?id=125233880" target="_blank">useless porkpuncher of a judge puts a hold on Trump's freeze of Big Ed money to Harvard. </a>This will be struck down. Getting old. There need to be serious penalties for judges who are overruled, like a docking of pay or time out.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/09/04/google-privacy-lawsuit-pay-425-million-jury-rules" target="_blank">Congresswoman Harriet (the Clusterbomb Cheney slayer) Hageman says BBB 2 is coming</a> that will prioritize energy and immigration. Ok, as long as you keep legislating Trump's agenda into place.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) Well, well. Remember how the National Guard in D.C. were to be temporary? Yeah, thanks Congress. Congress is voting against an extension, even <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Military/comments/1n8a2gx/dc_national_guard_troops_have_orders_extended/" target="_blank">while the National Guard has its orders extended through December</a>. In the video, there was some confusion as this was in two contradictory stories.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) <a href="https://istandforfreedom.com/georgias-private-u-trump-mandate/?utm_source=actengage&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Emory is the latest university to wave the white flag</a> regarding President Trump's DEI policies.</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) <a href="https://justthenews.com/government/local/patel-reveals-fbi-stopped-potential-mass-shooting-north-carolina-preschool" target="_blank">Kash Patel announced that the FBI had foiled another shooting plot</a>, this one in NC.

(Good).</p><p><br /> </p><p>22) The<a href="https://x.com/DeItaone/status/1963600131540021564" target="_blank"> DOJ has issued subpoenas</a> in the case of Fed Reserve governor Lisa Cook who is accused of multiple counts of mortgage fraud.</p><p><br /> </p><p>23) People keep buying <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/topstories/us-clothing-retailers-test-full-price-strategy-as-rich-shoppers-keep-spending/ar-AA1LWssg" target="_blank">despite retailers' higher prices </a>(Note:: Reuters cites a "sobering" effect of tariffs, yet the Reuterette insists they are affecting sales. Go figure.</p><p><br /> </p><p>24) <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/shell-faces-lawsuit-over-alleged-racial-bias-corporate-reorganization?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Shell Oil is being sued by white Houston applicants for security positions </a>who were passed over because of race.</p><p><br /> </p><p>25) This is pocket change, but it opens the door for similar very important suits about privacy: <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/09/04/google-privacy-lawsuit-pay-425-million-jury-rules" target="_blank">Google has to pay $425 million for tracking people who switched off their apps.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>26) The <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory/average-rate-30-year-mortgage-drops-65-lowest-125261620" target="_blank">30-year mortgage rate dropped again, now at 6.64%</a>. Still too high. Got my house at 2.9%. But, as Herman's Hermits sang, "This could be the start of something big. But the <a href="https://confoundedinterest.net/2025/09/05/50-basis-point-cut-coming-us-economy-adds-only-22k-jobs-in-august-unemployment-rate-rises-to-4-3-guns-of-august-misfires/" target="_blank">jobs report of only 22,000</a> jobs added is moving the Fed to a 50 basis point cut. Remember some of this is the fact that the Bureau of Labor Stats is using real numbers now, not phony Rutabaga/Zero numbers.</p><p><br /> </p><p>27) Another <a href="https://www.americanexperiment.org/74th-defendant-indicted-in-feeding-our-future/?utm_source=ActiveCampaign&utm_medium=email&utm_content=Achievement%20drops%20under%20Walz%2C%20MN%20%20educator-in-chief&utm_campaign=Friday%20Newsletter%209%2F5%2F25&vgo_ee=qHhf7bOuPoalCW%2BXiFFqlD5Nx8uEm71%2BR%2Fhj6QKsP2DJG%2Fz%2FyrOqLvI%3D%3AII15%2FP6lBgFEo%2B3Vav%2BAg06Hpi2%2FgfbA" target="_blank">Muslim creep was arrested in MN in the "Feeding Our Future" </a>scam---making 74 indicted.</p><p><br /> </p><p>28) New <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/stealerium-infostealer-porn-sextortion/" target="_blank">sextortion spyware watches you watching porn.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>29) Interesting that there are a <a href="https://freebeacon.com/israel/inside-the-leading-scholars-association-that-declared-a-genocide-in-gaza-it-includes-human-rights-activists-psychologists-museum-professionals-and-lots-of-iraqis/" target="_blank">lot of Iraqis on the "leading scholars association"</a> that damned Israel for its policies in Gaza.</p><p><br /> </p><p>30) <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/eu-accelerating-toward-collapse-merz-draghi-and-lagarde-reveal-europes-crisis-path?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5648" target="_blank">Hun Chancellor Mertz and the EU octarectums</a> do not seem to understand they are heading into the financial equivalent of Vormir.</p><p><br /> </p><p>31) A hot mic caught<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/putin-xi-hot-mic-moment-on-organ-transplants-underscores-concerns-over-organ-harvesting-in-china-5909770?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-09-04&src_cmp=mb-2025-09-04&utm_medium=email&est=OQa3tm7M1nXeKq8GYw6TeUDYZS0E5tmpD1CN6lrjdgbK68%2FzlfKmfQew6Szp7AThOat5YzQ%3D" target="_blank"> Xi, Pootie-poot, and little Rocket Man</a> chatting about living forever and harvesting organs to do it. Oh, you little dweebtoters: you are gonna live forever, but not any place you will like. Meanwhile, President Trump <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-says-putin-kim-xi-conspiring-against-us-as-ccp-stages-military-parade-5909599?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-09-04&src_cmp=mb-2025-09-04&utm_medium=email&est=boevqJxJvwF3SAvohOsbFBhyYr9tDd045KwAPsJvZEdfnhC6et3UrJUaPfz5veIoYsNT07A%3D" target="_blank">saw this little cabal as an anti-US conspiracy</a>, which it is.</p><p><br /> </p><p>32) President Trump told foreign countries there will be<a href="https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/us-tells-countries-reject-un-ship-fuel-emissions-deal-or-face-tariffs-sources-2025-09-03/?utm_source=cbnewsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_term=2025-09-04&utm_campaign=Daily+Briefing+US+threatens+shipping+deal+UN+calls+for+NDCs+Global+CO2+storage+limit" target="_blank"> an additional tariff if they accept the idiotic UN ship fuel emissions deal.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>33) Hun SS are up to their old tricks. Remember a few days ago I had a story about four AfD candidates mysteriously dying in Germany? <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/09/03/germany-six-alternative-for-deutschland-afd-candidates-deaths-13-days-elections/" target="_blank">Make it six, as two "reserve" candidates also just croaked. </a>Hun storm troopers <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15068873/Police-storm-Disneys-giant-new-cruise-ship-docks-Germany-days-vessel-launched.html" target="_blank">boarded a Disney cruise ship to nab a Canuck who didn't pay his parking fines</a>. I'm serious. After he paid, he was allowed to return to the ship.</p><p><br /> </p><p>34) Tensions are rising in the UK, with <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqXUU33rzsQ" target="_blank">an Indian communiuty center and several foreigners' cars burned</a>. I do not condone this. It is exactly what happens when the gubmen doesn't handle things.</p><p><br /> </p><p>35) In some ways, I guess the Brits are like us. The Labour Party is corrupt, the Tory/Conservatives are stupid and boring. <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/05/uk/angela-rayner-resigns-labour-uk-deputy-prime-minister" target="_blank">The Deputy PM (Labour) resigned after failing to pay property taxes.</a> But Mediocre Britain is headed for Pathetic Britain, as a gubment committee to "protect girls" (good luck, Islamic Republic) found that<a href="https://x.com/RealDonKeith/status/1963608055200784391" target="_blank"> the cops were participating in rape gangs</a>. No one prosecuted yet.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>36) After winning four gold medals and a silver medal in three different Olympics, diver <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/fearless/olympic-legend-sells-of-gold?utm_source=theblaze-dailyPM&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Daily-Newsletter__PM%202025-09-03&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%20TheBlaze%20Daily%20PM&tpcc=email&sailthru_id=68950ec1b1b9914c7008fee5&mb=Y" target="_blank">Greg Louganis had money problems, sold the medals and moved to Panama.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>36) This has to be shocking to Hollywood. <a href="https://youtu.be/fO8hPDEJYd0" target="_blank">"Jaws," a 50 year old movie, beat out numerous new releases over the Labor Day weekend.</a> There has been a dramatic fall off of American movies' audiences in Asia, while now some 30+ percent of the U.S. audience say they will wait for any movie to go streaming.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN MEDICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>37) FL will become the <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/09/03/florida-childhood-vaccines-mandate-eliminate-desantis/abc1ae42-88e5-11f0-895c-97bd39cbdc59_story.html?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">first state to eliminate all childhood vax mandates. Liberals, vaxiopaths,</a> maskiopaths shriek! Thanks to FL Surgeon Gen. Joe Ladapo who made the announcement. This is huge, not merely because FL is the first, but because it's BIG. Would have been different if it was South Dakota. Ladapo likened being forced to take a vax you don't want to slavery. It is now questionable not only if vaxxes saved lives, but if they did, did they kill more than they "saved?" Now, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/states-form-health-alliance-to-counter-cdc-5909849?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-09-04&src_cmp=mb-2025-09-04&utm_medium=email&est=nXE6WVsucpf61BsX9Dtn7OUDt0uT0NYM%2BPTks8ifFiTH%2FhsII7g6iWdL0pzmTfJlk7R4Ka0%3D" target="_blank">OR, WA, and Kollyfornia say they are forming an "alliance" to buck whatever Bobby's CDC says</a>. Go for it. Let's see where you are without fed money, ya evil jackscratchers. Oh, and<a href="https://substack.com/home/post/p-172805877?source=queue" target="_blank"> Bobby testified before Congress</a> (if you call it that---they don't allow him to answer) and said firing Monarez was necessary to restoring the CDC to the "gold standard." By the way, there is a fix for this outrageous speechifying by Congress in so-called hearings: allow a witness to have one additional minute for every minute of their answering time that is taken up with a speech.</p><p><br /> </p><p>38) A full <a href="https://news.gallup.com/poll/648308/far-fewer-regard-childhood-vaccinations-important.aspx" target="_blank">64% of adults believe that childhood vaxxes cause autism</a> or don't know yet, meaning the "Hell, no, they don't" crowd is now just comprised of DemoKKKrat Terrorists. Oh, and following RFK's masterful deconstruction of the Waffen Senate Spoogies (SS) yesterday, <a href="https://medcitynews.com/2025/09/fda-complete-response-letter-drug-rejection-public-record-martin-makary/" target="_blank">HHS said that the FDA will now make all drug rejection letters <i>public</i>.</a> Wow. "We regret to inform you . . . . because in your trial 90% of those who took your drug died or became homosexuals."</p><p><br /> </p><p>39) <a href="https://www.nbcboston.com/news/local/healey-vaccine-announcement-following-trump-administration-measures/3802556/" target="_blank">MA has said that no matter what the CDC says, it will require insurance companies to cover vaxxes</a>. 1) that's a lawsuit; 2) that ensures that some insurers will just leave North Korea, er, MA.</p><p><br /> </p><p>40) So sick. This <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/09/04/neil-hopper-nhs-surgeon-legs-amputated-sexual-fetish-body-dysmorphia-uk/" target="_blank">surgeon was indicted for insurance fraud after amputating his own legs in a sexual fetish</a>.</p><p><br /> </p><p>41) The <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2025/09/04/guns-transgender-justice-trump-bondi-shootings/" target="_blank">DOJ is considering, as the hoaxified media spouted, "a gun ban on transoids."</a> Well, not really. There are already laws that people whose mental capacity is that of Charles Manson or Rutabaga cannot own weapons. All Bondi is doing is looking to add transoidism---a clear mental disease---to the crazy list. But wait, Orange Man Bad strikes again, as in a panicked DemoKKKrat "influencer" meeting a debate broke out about whether DemoKKKrats should <i>support gun rights</i>. Trust me, somehow before all this is over, President Trump will have the leftoid colonsprockets joining Pentecostal Churches and singing the praises of Russell Kirk. But it is worth reading. <a href="https://x.com/joma_gc/status/1963701534895526146" target="_blank">One of the more expanded chats show the harpygoblin JoJo saying "This is about my LIVELIHOOD" (i.e., screaming to white women).</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>AND FINALLY . . .</h3><p><br /> </p><p>42) A lawyer named <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/09/03/us-news/lawyer-named-mark-zuckerberg-sues-meta-over-claims-hes-impersonating-founder/" target="_blank">Mark Zuckerberg has sued Meta</a> ("Meta" means death in Hebrew) over repeated shutdowns that claim he is impersonating Mark Zuckerberg.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) I do have a tiny shred of sympathy for the DemoKKKrats over at<a href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/redistricting-isnt-the-democrats?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=239058&post_id=172688944&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> "Liberal Patriot," </a>who, having failed to get any interest in the "abundance economy" or "good management of cities," how are down to "<a href="https://substack.com/home/post/p-172805877?source=queue" target="_blank">When Trump Screws Up."</a> This is not a strategy. They admit that redistricting isn't the DemoKKKrats' problem (though they fail to point out that the most likely outcome after MO has convened today to take up the issue will be an R gain of 7-8 NET seats after Kollyfornia, or a lock on 219 in the House. Not only does this view fail to ask, "What if Trump doesn't screw up? How do DemoKKKrats win back voters?" but puts Ds in the position of hating and working against success in immigration, the economy, peace, and so on.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Here is another way Trump is just crushing the DemoKKKrats.<a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/09/03/exclusive-team-trump-social-media-accounts-gained-1-6m-new-followers-august-reached-nearly-200-million-more-people-than-democrats/" target="_blank"> Team Trump signed up 1.6 million new social media followers in August and has 200 <i>million</i> more than DemoKKKrats.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Supposedly the <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/missing-minute-epstein-video-found?utm_source=theblaze-breaking&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Morning%20Trending%20-&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%20TheBlaze%20Breaking%20News&tpcc=email-breaking" target="_blank">"missing minute" of the Epstein videos </a>was found. No one yet says what's on it. And on Capitol Hill, <a href="https://justthenews.com/government/local/patel-reveals-fbi-stopped-potential-mass-shooting-north-carolina-preschool" target="_blank">St. Thomas of Spooge is losing support for a discharge petition </a>of the Epstein list as Speaker Johnson says the House Oversight Committee will produce more info than on the list.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Meanwhile, over at the Waffen SS (Stupid Senate), the moronic <a href="https://notthebee.com/article/tim-kaine-just-compared-thomas-jefferson-to-the-ayatollah-ted-cruz-obliterated-him?utm_source=Not+The+Bee+Newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=09052025" target="_blank">Tim Candy Kaine, who looks like a serial killer, said that the idea that "our rights come from God is troubling." </a>Well, Candy, take it up with fellow Virginian. You know, the one who wrote the Declaration? That Jefferson guy.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Trump has officially renamed the Defense Department the <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-to-sign-order-renaming-department-of-defense-to-department-of-war-5910648?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">War Department.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>6) The U.S. <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/feds-intercept-1300-barrels-meth-precursor-chemicals-shipped-china-mexico" target="_blank">seized the largest cache of fentanyl from Chy-na ever---1300 barrels</a> in Houston. Not one DemoKKKrat came out in praise of this.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Another <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/judge-blocks-trumps-22-billion-harvard-funding-freeze/story?id=125233880" target="_blank">useless porkpuncher of a judge puts a hold on Trump's freeze of Big Ed money to Harvard. </a>This will be struck down. Getting old. There need to be serious penalties for judges who are overruled, like a docking of pay or time out.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/09/04/google-privacy-lawsuit-pay-425-million-jury-rules" target="_blank">Congresswoman Harriet (the Clusterbomb Cheney slayer) Hageman says BBB 2 is coming</a> that will prioritize energy and immigration. Ok, as long as you keep legislating Trump's agenda into place.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) Well, well. Remember how the National Guard in D.C. were to be temporary? Yeah, thanks Congress. Congress is voting against an extension, even <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Military/comments/1n8a2gx/dc_national_guard_troops_have_orders_extended/" target="_blank">while the National Guard has its orders extended through December</a>. In the video, there was some confusion as this was in two contradictory stories.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) <a href="https://istandforfreedom.com/georgias-private-u-trump-mandate/?utm_source=actengage&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Emory is the latest university to wave the white flag</a> regarding President Trump's DEI policies.</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) <a href="https://justthenews.com/government/local/patel-reveals-fbi-stopped-potential-mass-shooting-north-carolina-preschool" target="_blank">Kash Patel announced that the FBI had foiled another shooting plot</a>, this one in NC.

Oh, you little dweebtoters: you are gonna live forever, but not any place you will like. Meanwhile, President Trump <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-says-putin-kim-xi-conspiring-against-us-as-ccp-stages-military-parade-5909599?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-09-04&src_cmp=mb-2025-09-04&utm_medium=email&est=boevqJxJvwF3SAvohOsbFBhyYr9tDd045KwAPsJvZEdfnhC6et3UrJUaPfz5veIoYsNT07A%3D" target="_blank">saw this little cabal as an anti-US conspiracy</a>, which it is.</p><p><br /> </p><p>32) President Trump told foreign countries there will be<a href="https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/us-tells-countries-reject-un-ship-fuel-emissions-deal-or-face-tariffs-sources-2025-09-03/?utm_source=cbnewsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_term=2025-09-04&utm_campaign=Daily+Briefing+US+threatens+shipping+deal+UN+calls+for+NDCs+Global+CO2+storage+limit" target="_blank"> an additional tariff if they accept the idiotic UN ship fuel emissions deal.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>33) Hun SS are up to their old tricks. Remember a few days ago I had a story about four AfD candidates mysteriously dying in Germany? <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/09/03/germany-six-alternative-for-deutschland-afd-candidates-deaths-13-days-elections/" target="_blank">Make it six, as two "reserve" candidates also just croaked. </a>Hun storm troopers <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15068873/Police-storm-Disneys-giant-new-cruise-ship-docks-Germany-days-vessel-launched.html" target="_blank">boarded a Disney cruise ship to nab a Canuck who didn't pay his parking fines</a>. I'm serious. After he paid, he was allowed to return to the ship.</p><p><br /> </p><p>34) Tensions are rising in the UK, with <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqXUU33rzsQ" target="_blank">an Indian communiuty center and several foreigners' cars burned</a>. I do not condone this. It is exactly what happens when the gubmen doesn't handle things.</p><p><br /> </p><p>35) In some ways, I guess the Brits are like us. The Labour Party is corrupt, the Tory/Conservatives are stupid and boring. <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/05/uk/angela-rayner-resigns-labour-uk-deputy-prime-minister" target="_blank">The Deputy PM (Labour) resigned after failing to pay property taxes.</a> But Mediocre Britain is headed for Pathetic Britain, as a gubment committee to "protect girls" (good luck, Islamic Republic) found that<a href="https://x.com/RealDonKeith/status/1963608055200784391" target="_blank"> the cops were participating in rape gangs</a>. No one prosecuted yet.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>36) After winning four gold medals and a silver medal in three different Olympics, diver <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/fearless/olympic-legend-sells-of-gold?utm_source=theblaze-dailyPM&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Daily-Newsletter__PM%202025-09-03&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%20TheBlaze%20Daily%20PM&tpcc=email&sailthru_id=68950ec1b1b9914c7008fee5&mb=Y" target="_blank">Greg Louganis had money problems, sold the medals and moved to Panama.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>36) This has to be shocking to Hollywood. <a href="https://youtu.be/fO8hPDEJYd0" target="_blank">"Jaws," a 50 year old movie, beat out numerous new releases over the Labor Day weekend.</a> There has been a dramatic fall off of American movies' audiences in Asia, while now some 30+ percent of the U.S. audience say they will wait for any movie to go streaming.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN MEDICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>37) FL will become the <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/09/03/florida-childhood-vaccines-mandate-eliminate-desantis/abc1ae42-88e5-11f0-895c-97bd39cbdc59_story.html?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">first state to eliminate all childhood vax mandates. Liberals, vaxiopaths,</a> maskiopaths shriek! Thanks to FL Surgeon Gen. Joe Ladapo who made the announcement. This is huge, not merely because FL is the first, but because it's BIG. Would have been different if it was South Dakota. Ladapo likened being forced to take a vax you don't want to slavery. It is now questionable not only if vaxxes saved lives, but if they did, did they kill more than they "saved?" Now, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/states-form-health-alliance-to-counter-cdc-5909849?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-09-04&src_cmp=mb-2025-09-04&utm_medium=email&est=nXE6WVsucpf61BsX9Dtn7OUDt0uT0NYM%2BPTks8ifFiTH%2FhsII7g6iWdL0pzmTfJlk7R4Ka0%3D" target="_blank">OR, WA, and Kollyfornia say they are forming an "alliance" to buck whatever Bobby's CDC says</a>. Go for it. Let's see where you are without fed money, ya evil jackscratchers. Oh, and<a href="https://substack.com/home/post/p-172805877?source=queue" target="_blank"> Bobby testified before Congress</a> (if you call it that---they don't allow him to answer) and said firing Monarez was necessary to restoring the CDC to the "gold standard." By the way, there is a fix for this outrageous speechifying by Congress in so-called hearings: allow a witness to have one additional minute for every minute of their answering time that is taken up with a speech.</p><p><br /> </p><p>38) A full <a href="https://news.gallup.com/poll/648308/far-fewer-regard-childhood-vaccinations-important.aspx" target="_blank">64% of adults believe that childhood vaxxes cause autism</a> or don't know yet, meaning the "Hell, no, they don't" crowd is now just comprised of DemoKKKrat Terrorists. Oh, and following RFK's masterful deconstruction of the Waffen Senate Spoogies (SS) yesterday, <a href="https://medcitynews.com/2025/09/fda-complete-response-letter-drug-rejection-public-record-martin-makary/" target="_blank">HHS said that the FDA will now make all drug rejection letters <i>public</i>.</a> Wow. "We regret to inform you . . . . because in your trial 90% of those who took your drug died or became homosexuals."</p><p><br /> </p><p>39) <a href="https://www.nbcboston.com/news/local/healey-vaccine-announcement-following-trump-administration-measures/3802556/" target="_blank">MA has said that no matter what the CDC says, it will require insurance companies to cover vaxxes</a>. 1) that's a lawsuit; 2) that ensures that some insurers will just leave North Korea, er, MA.</p><p><br /> </p><p>40) So sick. This <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/09/04/neil-hopper-nhs-surgeon-legs-amputated-sexual-fetish-body-dysmorphia-uk/" target="_blank">surgeon was indicted for insurance fraud after amputating his own legs in a sexual fetish</a>.</p><p><br /> </p><p>41) The <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2025/09/04/guns-transgender-justice-trump-bondi-shootings/" target="_blank">DOJ is considering, as the hoaxified media spouted, "a gun ban on transoids."</a> Well, not really. There are already laws that people whose mental capacity is that of Charles Manson or Rutabaga cannot own weapons. All Bondi is doing is looking to add transoidism---a clear mental disease---to the crazy list. But wait, Orange Man Bad strikes again, as in a panicked DemoKKKrat "influencer" meeting a debate broke out about whether DemoKKKrats should <i>support gun rights</i>. Trust me, somehow before all this is over, President Trump will have the leftoid colonsprockets joining Pentecostal Churches and singing the praises of Russell Kirk. But it is worth reading. <a href="https://x.com/joma_gc/status/1963701534895526146" target="_blank">One of the more expanded chats show the harpygoblin JoJo saying "This is about my LIVELIHOOD" (i.e., screaming to white women).</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>AND FINALLY . . .</h3><p><br /> </p><p>42) A lawyer named <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/09/03/us-news/lawyer-named-mark-zuckerberg-sues-meta-over-claims-hes-impersonating-founder/" target="_blank">Mark Zuckerberg has sued Meta</a> ("Meta" means death in Hebrew) over repeated shutdowns that claim he is impersonating Mark Zuckerberg.

Courts are blocking his education cuts, but DEI walls are already crumbling. On the culture front, California schools are rebelling over bathroom policies, Jersey’s pushing rainbow storytime for first graders, and mainline Protestantism is aging out fast. The economy’s wobbling with housing alarms, oil layoffs, lawsuits hitting Shell and Google, and mortgage rates dipping as jobs crawl. Overseas, Xi, Putin, and Kim are caught plotting while Europe wrestles with shady deaths, corruption, and street unrest.

      <description><![CDATA[<h3><br />IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) President Trump is threatening to remove crime from other major cities by sending in the National Guard. Naturally, DemoKKKrats oppose this. I say again, this is the party of death. Of course, "Let's Go Brandon" Williams, the mayor of Benghazi-by-the-Lake (Chicago) doesn't want to ruin his peaceful and bucolic sanctuary that saw<a href="https://x.com/Breaking911/status/1962196941967695929" target="_blank"> 35 people shot, five killed in the Labor Day weekend just through Sunday.</a> New Mogadishu (Minneapolis) is probably on Trump's list. <a href="https://istandforfreedom.com/minn-police-fed-aid/?utm_source=actengage&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">The police chief there says that without federal support, they couldn't do a thing </a>about crime, implying that the DemoKKKrat mayors and the Prancing Gheyboy, Tampon Timmy, were of no assistance. And, to no one's surprise, a new Harvard-Harris poll shows <a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2025/08/29/mark_penn_harvardharris_poll_shows_trump_getting_traction_with_voters_on_crime_issue.html" target="_blank">Trump gaining ground on the crime issue.</a> And as <a href="https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2025-08-31/democrats-midterms-2028-trump-analysis" target="_blank">this report shows, </a>DemoKKKrats agree their party is in trouble, but they think it's because they haven't been <i>bold enough</i> in advancing bat-guano policies.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Despite the jerkweed judges attempting to halt Trump's tariffs, he says<a href="https://protrumpnews.com/all-tariffs-are-still-in-effect-trump-responds-to-major-tariff-ruling/" target="_blank"> "The Tariffs are STILL IN PLACE."</a> Good. Ignore these spoogerods.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-says-he-will-issue-executive-order-to-require-voter-id-5908532?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">Trump also will issue an executive order requiring ID to vote.</a> "No exceptions."

You heard me right.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) There may have been a time, in a galaxy far, far, away, when DemoKKKrats were smart about elections. Thank God, no more. At their summer Minneapolis meeting (irony?), they insisted they were not going to make any changes and<a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/beltway-confidential/3787334/dnc-chooses-virtue-over-victory/?utm_source=deployer&utm_medium=email&utm_content=1756566907&utm_campaign=Beltway+Confidential&utm_term=" target="_blank"> that migrant crime and carjackings “don’t matter to that many Americans.”</a> Thank you, you idiot spoogepellets.

How are schools responding? First they make no connection to woke school boards. Second, they hire consultants. Here in Arizona, we've seen ads for public schools. I'll repeat that: ADS FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS. Meanwhile, private schools invest in new facilities (not more administrators). Trump has warned 40 public schools that if they keep transoid and crazy gender lessons in their curriculum, they'll lose $81 million in federal money. Honestly, I'd just as soon they keep those programs and just go broke.</p><p><br /> </p><p>17) <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/colleges-face-financial-struggles-trump-policies-rcna228228" target="_blank">Colleges and universities are "struggling" because Trump's policies are taking away all their international students.</a> Not one foreigner should get into an American college so long as one qualified American is denied.</p><p><br /> </p><p>18) About time.<a href="https://americafirstreport.com/house-republicans-probe-wikipedia-over-bias-foreign-manipulation/?utm_source=econ" target="_blank"> House Rs are probing Wikipedia for bias</a>.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3><br />IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) President Trump is threatening to remove crime from other major cities by sending in the National Guard. Naturally, DemoKKKrats oppose this. I say again, this is the party of death. Of course, "Let's Go Brandon" Williams, the mayor of Benghazi-by-the-Lake (Chicago) doesn't want to ruin his peaceful and bucolic sanctuary that saw<a href="https://x.com/Breaking911/status/1962196941967695929" target="_blank"> 35 people shot, five killed in the Labor Day weekend just through Sunday.</a> New Mogadishu (Minneapolis) is probably on Trump's list. <a href="https://istandforfreedom.com/minn-police-fed-aid/?utm_source=actengage&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">The police chief there says that without federal support, they couldn't do a thing </a>about crime, implying that the DemoKKKrat mayors and the Prancing Gheyboy, Tampon Timmy, were of no assistance. And, to no one's surprise, a new Harvard-Harris poll shows <a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2025/08/29/mark_penn_harvardharris_poll_shows_trump_getting_traction_with_voters_on_crime_issue.html" target="_blank">Trump gaining ground on the crime issue.</a> And as <a href="https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2025-08-31/democrats-midterms-2028-trump-analysis" target="_blank">this report shows, </a>DemoKKKrats agree their party is in trouble, but they think it's because they haven't been <i>bold enough</i> in advancing bat-guano policies.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Despite the jerkweed judges attempting to halt Trump's tariffs, he says<a href="https://protrumpnews.com/all-tariffs-are-still-in-effect-trump-responds-to-major-tariff-ruling/" target="_blank"> "The Tariffs are STILL IN PLACE."</a> Good. Ignore these spoogerods.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-says-he-will-issue-executive-order-to-require-voter-id-5908532?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">Trump also will issue an executive order requiring ID to vote.</a> "No exceptions."

You heard me right.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) There may have been a time, in a galaxy far, far, away, when DemoKKKrats were smart about elections. Thank God, no more. At their summer Minneapolis meeting (irony?), they insisted they were not going to make any changes and<a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/beltway-confidential/3787334/dnc-chooses-virtue-over-victory/?utm_source=deployer&utm_medium=email&utm_content=1756566907&utm_campaign=Beltway+Confidential&utm_term=" target="_blank"> that migrant crime and carjackings “don’t matter to that many Americans.”</a> Thank you, you idiot spoogepellets.

      <itunes:summary>IN POLITICAL NEWS 

1) President Trump is threatening to remove crime from other major cities by sending in the National Guard. Naturally, DemoKKKrats oppose this. I say again, this is the party of death. Of course, &quot;Let&apos;s Go Brandon&quot; Williams, the mayor of Benghazi-by-the-Lake (Chicago) doesn&apos;t want to ruin his peaceful and bucolic sanctuary that saw 35 people shot, five killed in the Labor Day weekend just through Sunday. New Mogadishu (Minneapolis) is probably on Trump&apos;s list. The police chief there says that without federal support, they couldn&apos;t do a thing about crime, implying that the DemoKKKrat mayors and the Prancing Gheyboy, Tampon Timmy, were of no assistance. And, to no one&apos;s surprise, a new Harvard-Harris poll shows Trump gaining ground on the crime issue. And as this report shows, DemoKKKrats agree their party is in trouble, but they think it&apos;s because they haven&apos;t been bold enough in advancing bat-guano policies.


2) Despite the jerkweed judges attempting to halt Trump&apos;s tariffs, he says &quot;The Tariffs are STILL IN PLACE.&quot; Good. Ignore these spoogerods.


3) Trump also will issue an executive order requiring ID to vote. &quot;No exceptions.&quot; Talk about cutting off both the Black Knight&apos;s legs!


4) Big gains for Rs in New Mexico, 500 for the month of August after gaining 600 in July. NM is slowly moving to Rs, but a long way to go. In 2 years, though, NM will be be dead even. Even as there was a special election loss in IA, the state got even redder. As Seth Keshel shows, IA was just a low, low, low turnout. There were fewer total ballots than the Republican had votes in 2022. Oh, and TX Governor Greg Abbott signed the new TX redistricting map, likely handing the GOP five more seats and removing Jazzy What-a-Crock-ett from her seat.


5) If Jazzy is a disgusting human being, what about that inbred Jihadist Illicit Mullah Omar, who claims she isn&apos;t rich despite a net worth of $30 million? You heard me right.


6) There may have been a time, in a galaxy far, far, away, when DemoKKKrats were smart about elections. Thank God, no more. At their summer Minneapolis meeting (irony?), they insisted they were not going to make any changes and that migrant crime and carjackings “don’t matter to that many Americans.” Thank you, you idiot spoogepellets. Thank you for going extinct.


7) This author argues that it was the lockdowns that caused a surge in black deaths in 2020, not the po po or George (methhead) Floyd&apos;s death.


8) Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has fired 24 incompetent FEMA employees for a security breach.


9) Two Kollyfornia parents are suing ChatGPT over their son&apos;s suicide, saying the AI encouraged him.


10) Voice of America, like the rest of the U.S. government, will shed workers.


11) In my Larry&apos;s Substack today, I review the men and women who made America, from creating the bra to popularizing iced drinks to the fashioning the Colt .44. Now, David Blackmon has a different take: the green-transition movement is to a large degree targeting women and the labor saving devices that have freed women from much household drudgery.


12) Rudy Guiliani was injured in a car crash after he had stopped earlier to help a domestic violence abuse victim.


IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS 

13) The mayor of Benghazi-by-the-Lake, &quot;Let&apos;s go Brandon&quot; Johnson issued an executive order to city officials not to cooperate with ICE or President Trump&apos;s national guard deployment. Hmm. Isn&apos;t this called obstruction of justice? Aiding and abetting murders? I&apos;d put this lying pishpusher in the deepest dungeon I could find. 


14) Illinois Governor Porky Pritzker said that removing illegals would affect elections. Yep, porkster. That&apos;s the goal.


15) Beautiful: HUD secretary Scott Turner has just booted illegals out of Section 8 public housing. No housing without valid ID. But since it&apos;s just a request for data, housing managers can&apos;t refuse and can&apos;t sue.


IN CULTURAL NEWS 

16) This is good news. More public schools are closing. Broward, FL, is looking at closing 34 schools, while up in Orlando, Orange school district lost 7,000 students last year. The combination of lockdowns---which exposed what schools were teaching---the expansion of voucher systems, and the declining birth rate may put most gubment institutions out of business or make them a minority. Then our kids might learn something again. At present though, they appear hopeless: nearly half of American schools engage in &quot;grade equity,&quot; which is to say racism and classism and, well, lies, telling students they are achieving when they aren&apos;t. How are schools responding? First they make no connection to woke school boards. Second, they hire consultants. Here in Arizona, we&apos;ve seen ads for public schools. I&apos;ll repeat that: ADS FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS. Meanwhile, private schools invest in new facilities (not more administrators). Trump has warned 40 public schools that if they keep transoid and crazy gender lessons in their curriculum, they&apos;ll lose $81 million in federal money. Honestly, I&apos;d just as soon they keep those programs and just go broke.


17) Colleges and universities are &quot;struggling&quot; because Trump&apos;s policies are taking away all their international students. Not one foreigner should get into an American college so long as one qualified American is denied.


18) About time. House Rs are probing Wikipedia for bias. They won&apos;t have to look far.


IN ECONOMIC NEWS 

19) Exxon-Mobil is bullish on oil &amp; natural gas.


20) Services not related to tariffs spiked in price, while durable goods that were related to tariffs fell in price.


21) A humorous but accurate piece about the no-service industry in America. Seriously, service as we used to know it is dead. The author notes the constant demands for names, phone numbers, emails. Or, to quote the line from the late, great Jon Pinette, &quot;I just want to buy the toaster. I&apos;m not adopting it.&quot; And by the way, if you steal from a self-checkout line, aren&apos;t you just paying yourself for your labor?


22) Earlier last week I noticed that Commerce Sec. Howard Luttnick, probably feeling left out by all the activist secretaries in Trump&apos;s cabinet, came out with two strong policies in a week&apos;s time. Now it&apos;s Sean Duffy, the Transportation Sec who has canceled $679 million in wind projects.


IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS 

23) The deputy head of the German Police Union says the Huns are nearly lost, that there are no go cities, and that women are not safe. I&apos;m going to make this prediction right now: I don&apos;t think a political solution to the Islamic invasion of Europe is possible. It will require a genuine Reconquista, and, yes, violence.


24) Two ChiCom warships collided chasing a nothingburger Philippine patrol ship, suggesting the ChiCom navy may have problems. Meanwhile, the ChiComs are pushing down the accelerator on coal production.


25) Mediocre Britain is begging Trump for help in its own stupid migrant crisis, as rapes by some mysterious unknown group have soared 438%.


26) This writer thinks the Russkies&apos; goal in Ukraine is not to gain territory per se, but to eliminate any Ukrainian military, as a new report shows the Ukes have lost 1.7 million men.


27) Kier Starmer is dancing like Gregory Hines, trying to stave off a brewing insurrection in Mediocre Britain related to immigrant invaders. Speaking of which, the Wall Street Urinal is all excited that &quot;right-wing&quot; pols lead in the polls of all the major Euro countries. Irrelevant. Those nations mostly have proportional representation. For this to be meaningful, they&apos;d have to have BIG leads that would give them a working majority. But back to Mediocre Britain, for a moment: they have not yet figured out that in addition to the migrant vs. English civil war they started, they have another one on their hands, Big Data/AI vs. greens. They are attempting to &quot;conserve&quot; their way out of this. Nope. AI sucks up energy and water faster than David Betamale sucks up campaign dollars. They cannot remotely conserve enough water, and so you will get the inevitable split between the Tech Bros and Greens to build desalinization plants.


28) Donald Trump III, er, Nayib Bukele, has celebrated El Salvador&apos;s 1,000th day without a homicide.


IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS 

29) Lee Roy Jordan, the long-time star middle linebacker of the early Dallas Cowboy teams, dead at 84. 


30) Beautiful Gabrielle Anwar, who played in &quot;Scent of a Woman&quot; (doing the tango with Al Pacino and in &quot;Burn Notice&quot; had a rough time with very serious bipolar issues. After years of finding the right medications and the right therapies, she now is focusing on being a good grandmother.


IN MEDICAL NEWS 

31) Tylenol and Advil have been linked to antibiotic resistance.


32) How ironic. The walking bondage bucket from the CDC who just got canned says that now the &quot;wall&quot; between science and ideology has &quot;completely broken down.&quot; No, ya evil little leather-clad loafer, it broke down with Covid and now RFK, Jr. is slowly restoring it. I cannot hate these people more.


33) The &quot;Church of Safe Injection&quot; for druggies in ME has been condemned.


34) The first peer-reviewed, population wide study of China Virus vaxes shows they increased the likelihood of cancer.


35) Biggest news of all on this slow news weekend, President Trump hits Truth with a vax post---saying that he relied on Pfizer data for the vax and that IF &quot;Warp Speed&quot; was &quot;Brilliant,&quot; he&apos;s happy, but &quot;if not WE ALL WANT TO KNOW ABOUT IT, and WHY??&quot; (emphasis mine). I said a year ago that Trump would be tough to dislodge from his pro-vax position, but if and when he did, it would be along the lines of &quot;I was lied to.&quot; Whoop! Dere it is.


AND FINALLY . . . 

36) In Me-hee-co, researchers are dressing up dead pigs and burying them. They then observe the various decomposition signs (flowers grow, apparently) to establish models to find missing people. No, Mr. Scientist, Porky Pritzker ain&apos;t quite dead yet.</itunes:summary>

Even as there was a special election loss in IA, the state got even redder. As Seth Keshel shows, IA was just a low, low, low turnout. There were fewer total ballots than the Republican had votes in 2022. Oh, and TX Governor Greg Abbott signed the new TX redistricting map, likely handing the GOP five more seats and removing Jazzy What-a-Crock-ett from her seat.


5) If Jazzy is a disgusting human being, what about that inbred Jihadist Illicit Mullah Omar, who claims she isn&apos;t rich despite a net worth of $30 million? You heard me right.


6) There may have been a time, in a galaxy far, far, away, when DemoKKKrats were smart about elections. Thank God, no more. At their summer Minneapolis meeting (irony?), they insisted they were not going to make any changes and that migrant crime and carjackings “don’t matter to that many Americans.” Thank you, you idiot spoogepellets. Thank you for going extinct.


7) This author argues that it was the lockdowns that caused a surge in black deaths in 2020, not the po po or George (methhead) Floyd&apos;s death.


8) Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has fired 24 incompetent FEMA employees for a security breach.


9) Two Kollyfornia parents are suing ChatGPT over their son&apos;s suicide, saying the AI encouraged him.


10) Voice of America, like the rest of the U.S. government, will shed workers.


11) In my Larry&apos;s Substack today, I review the men and women who made America, from creating the bra to popularizing iced drinks to the fashioning the Colt .44. Now, David Blackmon has a different take: the green-transition movement is to a large degree targeting women and the labor saving devices that have freed women from much household drudgery.


12) Rudy Guiliani was injured in a car crash after he had stopped earlier to help a domestic violence abuse victim.


IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS 

13) The mayor of Benghazi-by-the-Lake, &quot;Let&apos;s go Brandon&quot; Johnson issued an executive order to city officials not to cooperate with ICE or President Trump&apos;s national guard deployment. Hmm. Isn&apos;t this called obstruction of justice? Aiding and abetting murders? I&apos;d put this lying pishpusher in the deepest dungeon I could find. 


14) Illinois Governor Porky Pritzker said that removing illegals would affect elections. Yep, porkster. That&apos;s the goal.


15) Beautiful: HUD secretary Scott Turner has just booted illegals out of Section 8 public housing. No housing without valid ID. But since it&apos;s just a request for data, housing managers can&apos;t refuse and can&apos;t sue.


IN CULTURAL NEWS 

16) This is good news. More public schools are closing. Broward, FL, is looking at closing 34 schools, while up in Orlando, Orange school district lost 7,000 students last year. The combination of lockdowns---which exposed what schools were teaching---the expansion of voucher systems, and the declining birth rate may put most gubment institutions out of business or make them a minority. Then our kids might learn something again. At present though, they appear hopeless: nearly half of American schools engage in &quot;grade equity,&quot; which is to say racism and classism and, well, lies, telling students they are achieving when they aren&apos;t. How are schools responding? First they make no connection to woke school boards. Second, they hire consultants. Here in Arizona, we&apos;ve seen ads for public schools. I&apos;ll repeat that: ADS FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS. Meanwhile, private schools invest in new facilities (not more administrators). Trump has warned 40 public schools that if they keep transoid and crazy gender lessons in their curriculum, they&apos;ll lose $81 million in federal money. Honestly, I&apos;d just as soon they keep those programs and just go broke.


17) Colleges and universities are &quot;struggling&quot; because Trump&apos;s policies are taking away all their international students. Not one foreigner should get into an American college so long as one qualified American is denied.


18) About time. House Rs are probing Wikipedia for bias. They won&apos;t have to look far.


IN ECONOMIC NEWS 

19) Exxon-Mobil is bullish on oil &amp; natural gas.


20) Services not related to tariffs spiked in price, while durable goods that were related to tariffs fell in price.


21) A humorous but accurate piece about the no-service industry in America. Seriously, service as we used to know it is dead. The author notes the constant demands for names, phone numbers, emails. Or, to quote the line from the late, great Jon Pinette, &quot;I just want to buy the toaster. I&apos;m not adopting it.&quot; And by the way, if you steal from a self-checkout line, aren&apos;t you just paying yourself for your labor?


22) Earlier last week I noticed that Commerce Sec. Howard Luttnick, probably feeling left out by all the activist secretaries in Trump&apos;s cabinet, came out with two strong policies in a week&apos;s time. Now it&apos;s Sean Duffy, the Transportation Sec who has canceled $679 million in wind projects.


IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS 

23) The deputy head of the German Police Union says the Huns are nearly lost, that there are no go cities, and that women are not safe. I&apos;m going to make this prediction right now: I don&apos;t think a political solution to the Islamic invasion of Europe is possible. It will require a genuine Reconquista, and, yes, violence.


24) Two ChiCom warships collided chasing a nothingburger Philippine patrol ship, suggesting the ChiCom navy may have problems. Meanwhile, the ChiComs are pushing down the accelerator on coal production.


25) Mediocre Britain is begging Trump for help in its own stupid migrant crisis, as rapes by some mysterious unknown group have soared 438%.


26) This writer thinks the Russkies&apos; goal in Ukraine is not to gain territory per se, but to eliminate any Ukrainian military, as a new report shows the Ukes have lost 1.7 million men.


27) Kier Starmer is dancing like Gregory Hines, trying to stave off a brewing insurrection in Mediocre Britain related to immigrant invaders. Speaking of which, the Wall Street Urinal is all excited that &quot;right-wing&quot; pols lead in the polls of all the major Euro countries. Irrelevant. Those nations mostly have proportional representation. For this to be meaningful, they&apos;d have to have BIG leads that would give them a working majority. But back to Mediocre Britain, for a moment: they have not yet figured out that in addition to the migrant vs. English civil war they started, they have another one on their hands, Big Data/AI vs. greens. They are attempting to &quot;conserve&quot; their way out of this. Nope. AI sucks up energy and water faster than David Betamale sucks up campaign dollars. They cannot remotely conserve enough water, and so you will get the inevitable split between the Tech Bros and Greens to build desalinization plants.


28) Donald Trump III, er, Nayib Bukele, has celebrated El Salvador&apos;s 1,000th day without a homicide.


IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS 

29) Lee Roy Jordan, the long-time star middle linebacker of the early Dallas Cowboy teams, dead at 84. 


30) Beautiful Gabrielle Anwar, who played in &quot;Scent of a Woman&quot; (doing the tango with Al Pacino and in &quot;Burn Notice&quot; had a rough time with very serious bipolar issues. After years of finding the right medications and the right therapies, she now is focusing on being a good grandmother.


IN MEDICAL NEWS 

31) Tylenol and Advil have been linked to antibiotic resistance.


32) How ironic. The walking bondage bucket from the CDC who just got canned says that now the &quot;wall&quot; between science and ideology has &quot;completely broken down.&quot; No, ya evil little leather-clad loafer, it broke down with Covid and now RFK, Jr. is slowly restoring it. I cannot hate these people more.


33) The &quot;Church of Safe Injection&quot; for druggies in ME has been condemned.


34) The first peer-reviewed, population wide study of China Virus vaxes shows they increased the likelihood of cancer.


35) Biggest news of all on this slow news weekend, President Trump hits Truth with a vax post---saying that he relied on Pfizer data for the vax and that IF &quot;Warp Speed&quot; was &quot;Brilliant,&quot; he&apos;s happy, but &quot;if not WE ALL WANT TO KNOW ABOUT IT, and WHY??&quot; (emphasis mine). I said a year ago that Trump would be tough to dislodge from his pro-vax position, but if and when he did, it would be along the lines of &quot;I was lied to.&quot; Whoop! Dere it is.


AND FINALLY . . . 

36) In Me-hee-co, researchers are dressing up dead pigs and burying them. They then observe the various decomposition signs (flowers grow, apparently) to establish models to find missing people. No, Mr. Scientist, Porky Pritzker ain&apos;t quite dead yet.</itunes:subtitle>

      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) This is yet another reason the DemoKKKrats are going extinct. A transoid shoots up a school. Forget that they refuse to address the fact that a) he (and he was a he) was mentally ill; b) that he left a written legacy of hate against Christians; but c) he also hated the transoid he had become and said so.<a href="https://amgreatness.com/2025/08/29/dems-double-down-on-anti-prayer-rants-following-minnesota-church-shooting/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=" target="_blank"> Instead DemoKKKrats lash out against people who are praying for the families</a>. This is a sick and totally demonic party. They might as well just take the 666 right now.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Oops. <a href="https://x.com/SegravesNBC4/status/1960760205609685346" target="_blank">Even Mayor Muriel Bow Wow Bowser says crime is down</a> in DC since the arrival of National Guard troops. Of course, <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/bowser-trump-fed-surge-crime?utm_source=theblaze-breaking&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Afternoon%20Trending%20-%20August%2029&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%20TheBlaze%20Breaking%20News&tpcc=email-breaking" target="_blank">DemoKKKrats hate that she said this</a>.

Hoch-a-Lugie are battling over who is responsible there for cashless bail</a>. She blames judges, he blames her.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) DemoKKKrats, already out-raised by Rs 4:1 (without Trump's $1.4 billion war chest) <a href="https://istandforfreedom.com/kamala-dnc-campaign/?utm_source=actengage&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">now have to shell out $15 million---nearly all they raised since the election---just to cover Cackles' campaign losses.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>4) While we're on politics, let's get political (to paraphrase Olivia Newton-John). First, remember a certain LS keeps telling you there is no such thing as a "moderate" DemoKKKrat? This chart proves it. <a href="https://x.com/IAPolls2022/status/1961130633196916856" target="_blank">The percent of DemoKKKrats who are satisfied with the U.S. is . . . zero.</a></p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_3baf886b5c304ccd8db9b5fb37a1df96~mv2.jpeg/v1/fill/w_680,h_540,al_c,q_85,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_3baf886b5c304ccd8db9b5fb37a1df96~mv2.jpeg" alt="ree" /><p><br /> </p><p>5) It is apparently so bad that<a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/08/28/report-dark-money-group-allegedly-bankrolling-liberal-social-media-influencers-in-secret/" target="_blank"> DemoKKKrats are paying $8k a month for fake friends.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Meanwhile, as we knew at the time, non-voters preferred Trump. If more had voted, his margin would have been larger.</p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_474e1cb63f994a61ac61146efaa1f656~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_698,h_333,al_c,lg_1,q_85,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_474e1cb63f994a61ac61146efaa1f656~mv2.png" alt="ree" /><p><br /> </p><p>7) The <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/former-dnc-chair-says-biden-universe-dismissed-his-ideas-democratic-brand-study-youtube-channel" target="_blank">DNC chairman was rebuffed by Rutabaga when he attempted to have a "brand study."</a> That's cuz Rutabaga had destroyed the brand. So how bad is the brand? The <i>New York Slimes</i> is desperate to get DemoKKKrats back to a path where they might, just might (with enough cheating) win elections again. For example, (May) "<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/25/us/politics/democratic-party-voters.html" target="_blank">DemoKKKrats still searching for a path forward</a>"; (July) <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/08/us/politics/freedom-together-deepak-bhargava.html" target="_blank">"Liberal fund raising drive seeks $250 million to aid pushback against Trump</a>; (July) "<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/10/us/politics/majority-democrats.html" target="_blank">These younger losers . . . I'm sorry, . . LEADERS (ahem) are sick of their Party's Status Quo"; </a>and in Groomer City (San Francisco) "T<a href="https://sfstandard.com/2025/08/08/major-silicon-valley-democratic-donors-have-kept-their-wallets-closed-year/" target="_blank">ech's DemoKKKrat Donors have Gone Dormant." </a>The latter headline is taken straight from my "DemoKKKrat Civil War" list, Tech bros vs. greenies. And to tie it all up in a bow, <a href="https://x.com/OpenSourceZone/status/1961484007712927960" target="_blank">MO will call a special legislative session to redistrict next month.</a> That will add one more seat to TX's 4, OH's 2, and probably FL's 2, putting the GOP at a lock of 215 without a single "tossup" race AFTER Kollyfornia redistricts. Without Kollyfornia, it's a GOP lock of 220. Oh, and don't forget IN for one more GOP seat.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) National <a href="https://x.com/Grassroots20244/status/1961434508663652801" target="_blank">voter registration numbers show that even as the margin slowed, the GOP continued to net gain voters over the DemoKKKrats.</a> At the state level,<a href="https://x.com/Five_Starrr/status/1961785221981851691" target="_blank"> NC Republicans gained yet again</a>, driving the DemoKKKrat lead down to 15,157 (D+175,000 in 2020) and giving Rs a 93,000 active voter lead there. In FL, following a voter roll purge, Rs picked up a full 1% statewide, to now lead DemoKKKrats by TEN POINTS there.<a href="https://x.com/WinWithJMC/status/1961770278188380475" target="_blank"> The voter roll purges netted the Rs in FL another 36,000.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>9) Trump does not appear concerned at all about the midterms, suggesting the <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-floats-holding-republican-national-convention-before-midterm-elections" target="_blank">GOP hold a national convention prior to the elections.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>10) <a href="https://www.captaink.us/p/how-much-damage-has-mail-in-voting?utm_campaign=email-half-post&r=dx45b&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Seth Keshel shows that mail-in voting accounts for a 12% shift leftward</a> since 2000, while states without it moved over 5% to the right, for an 18% total shift due to mail-in voting.</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) At least <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-15044635/Horror-desert-70-piles-cremated-human-remains-outside-Las-Vegas.html" target="_blank">70 piles of human remains were found in the desert outside Las Vegas</a>.

I mean the battles over the normalization of transoids/homosexuals in everyday culture, and the battle over Islam's influence. Yet another transoid shooter, killing kids because trying to turn himself into a woman just didn't work out . . . and because they were Christians . . . highlights how we cannot give a single millimeter to these people in the public arena. Latest sad case in point, Chip and Joanna Gaines, the Waco, Texas couple who had at one time quit one of the major home-show cable networks because they did not want to have to feature homosexual/lesbian couples. That didn't last long. In their latest show, "Back to the Frontier," <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/shows/steve-deace-show/chip-and-joanna-gaines-embrace-lgbtq-spirit-of-the-age-and-punch-back-at-christian-fans?utm_source=theblaze-dailyPM&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Daily-Newsletter__PM%202025-08-28&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%20TheBlaze%20Daily%20PM&tpcc=email&sailthru_id=68950ec1b1b9914c7008fee5&mb=Y" target="_blank">they feature two homosexuals who adopted two boys</a>---and research shows those boys will, in turn, be messed up. When Christian viewers called them out on this, ol' .Woodchipper went full jihad on social media, blasting Christians as haters and having close minds. I must confess, I read their book, and had some concerns about their faith at that time, but gave them the benefit of the doubt. Steve Deace is an uber-moralist who hates Trump, <a href="https://youtu.be/Fjxdt_ajgOM" target="_blank">but he isn't wrong on this</a>, saying "Chip in particular tried to be a keyboard commando tough guy the last time they got exposed and went about not just deconstructing his faith, but reconstructing and attempting to say, no, they actually represent the true light of Christianity.”</p><p><br /> </p><p>33) Meanwhile, Angel Studios continues to roll.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) This is yet another reason the DemoKKKrats are going extinct. A transoid shoots up a school. Forget that they refuse to address the fact that a) he (and he was a he) was mentally ill; b) that he left a written legacy of hate against Christians; but c) he also hated the transoid he had become and said so.<a href="https://amgreatness.com/2025/08/29/dems-double-down-on-anti-prayer-rants-following-minnesota-church-shooting/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=" target="_blank"> Instead DemoKKKrats lash out against people who are praying for the families</a>. This is a sick and totally demonic party. They might as well just take the 666 right now.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Oops. <a href="https://x.com/SegravesNBC4/status/1960760205609685346" target="_blank">Even Mayor Muriel Bow Wow Bowser says crime is down</a> in DC since the arrival of National Guard troops. Of course, <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/bowser-trump-fed-surge-crime?utm_source=theblaze-breaking&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Afternoon%20Trending%20-%20August%2029&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%20TheBlaze%20Breaking%20News&tpcc=email-breaking" target="_blank">DemoKKKrats hate that she said this</a>. In New Kabul (NYC) however,<a href="https://www.amny.com/new-york/hochul-defends-bail-laws-trump-executive-order/" target="_blank"> Mayor Eric the Red Adams and Gov. Hoch-a-Lugie are battling over who is responsible there for cashless bail</a>. She blames judges, he blames her.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) DemoKKKrats, already out-raised by Rs 4:1 (without Trump's $1.4 billion war chest) <a href="https://istandforfreedom.com/kamala-dnc-campaign/?utm_source=actengage&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">now have to shell out $15 million---nearly all they raised since the election---just to cover Cackles' campaign losses.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>4) While we're on politics, let's get political (to paraphrase Olivia Newton-John). First, remember a certain LS keeps telling you there is no such thing as a "moderate" DemoKKKrat? This chart proves it. <a href="https://x.com/IAPolls2022/status/1961130633196916856" target="_blank">The percent of DemoKKKrats who are satisfied with the U.S. is . . . zero.</a></p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_3baf886b5c304ccd8db9b5fb37a1df96~mv2.jpeg/v1/fill/w_680,h_540,al_c,q_85,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_3baf886b5c304ccd8db9b5fb37a1df96~mv2.jpeg" alt="ree" /><p><br /> </p><p>5) It is apparently so bad that<a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/08/28/report-dark-money-group-allegedly-bankrolling-liberal-social-media-influencers-in-secret/" target="_blank"> DemoKKKrats are paying $8k a month for fake friends.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Meanwhile, as we knew at the time, non-voters preferred Trump. If more had voted, his margin would have been larger.</p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_474e1cb63f994a61ac61146efaa1f656~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_698,h_333,al_c,lg_1,q_85,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_474e1cb63f994a61ac61146efaa1f656~mv2.png" alt="ree" /><p><br /> </p><p>7) The <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/former-dnc-chair-says-biden-universe-dismissed-his-ideas-democratic-brand-study-youtube-channel" target="_blank">DNC chairman was rebuffed by Rutabaga when he attempted to have a "brand study."</a> That's cuz Rutabaga had destroyed the brand. So how bad is the brand? The <i>New York Slimes</i> is desperate to get DemoKKKrats back to a path where they might, just might (with enough cheating) win elections again. For example, (May) "<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/25/us/politics/democratic-party-voters.html" target="_blank">DemoKKKrats still searching for a path forward</a>"; (July) <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/08/us/politics/freedom-together-deepak-bhargava.html" target="_blank">"Liberal fund raising drive seeks $250 million to aid pushback against Trump</a>; (July) "<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/10/us/politics/majority-democrats.html" target="_blank">These younger losers . . . I'm sorry, . . LEADERS (ahem) are sick of their Party's Status Quo"; </a>and in Groomer City (San Francisco) "T<a href="https://sfstandard.com/2025/08/08/major-silicon-valley-democratic-donors-have-kept-their-wallets-closed-year/" target="_blank">ech's DemoKKKrat Donors have Gone Dormant." </a>The latter headline is taken straight from my "DemoKKKrat Civil War" list, Tech bros vs. greenies. And to tie it all up in a bow, <a href="https://x.com/OpenSourceZone/status/1961484007712927960" target="_blank">MO will call a special legislative session to redistrict next month.</a> That will add one more seat to TX's 4, OH's 2, and probably FL's 2, putting the GOP at a lock of 215 without a single "tossup" race AFTER Kollyfornia redistricts. Without Kollyfornia, it's a GOP lock of 220. Oh, and don't forget IN for one more GOP seat.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) National <a href="https://x.com/Grassroots20244/status/1961434508663652801" target="_blank">voter registration numbers show that even as the margin slowed, the GOP continued to net gain voters over the DemoKKKrats.</a> At the state level,<a href="https://x.com/Five_Starrr/status/1961785221981851691" target="_blank"> NC Republicans gained yet again</a>, driving the DemoKKKrat lead down to 15,157 (D+175,000 in 2020) and giving Rs a 93,000 active voter lead there. In FL, following a voter roll purge, Rs picked up a full 1% statewide, to now lead DemoKKKrats by TEN POINTS there.<a href="https://x.com/WinWithJMC/status/1961770278188380475" target="_blank"> The voter roll purges netted the Rs in FL another 36,000.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>9) Trump does not appear concerned at all about the midterms, suggesting the <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-floats-holding-republican-national-convention-before-midterm-elections" target="_blank">GOP hold a national convention prior to the elections.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>10) <a href="https://www.captaink.us/p/how-much-damage-has-mail-in-voting?utm_campaign=email-half-post&r=dx45b&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Seth Keshel shows that mail-in voting accounts for a 12% shift leftward</a> since 2000, while states without it moved over 5% to the right, for an 18% total shift due to mail-in voting.</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) At least <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-15044635/Horror-desert-70-piles-cremated-human-remains-outside-Las-Vegas.html" target="_blank">70 piles of human remains were found in the desert outside Las Vegas</a>.

I mean the battles over the normalization of transoids/homosexuals in everyday culture, and the battle over Islam's influence. Yet another transoid shooter, killing kids because trying to turn himself into a woman just didn't work out . . . and because they were Christians . . . highlights how we cannot give a single millimeter to these people in the public arena. Latest sad case in point, Chip and Joanna Gaines, the Waco, Texas couple who had at one time quit one of the major home-show cable networks because they did not want to have to feature homosexual/lesbian couples. That didn't last long. In their latest show, "Back to the Frontier," <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/shows/steve-deace-show/chip-and-joanna-gaines-embrace-lgbtq-spirit-of-the-age-and-punch-back-at-christian-fans?utm_source=theblaze-dailyPM&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Daily-Newsletter__PM%202025-08-28&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%20TheBlaze%20Daily%20PM&tpcc=email&sailthru_id=68950ec1b1b9914c7008fee5&mb=Y" target="_blank">they feature two homosexuals who adopted two boys</a>---and research shows those boys will, in turn, be messed up. When Christian viewers called them out on this, ol' .Woodchipper went full jihad on social media, blasting Christians as haters and having close minds. I must confess, I read their book, and had some concerns about their faith at that time, but gave them the benefit of the doubt. Steve Deace is an uber-moralist who hates Trump, <a href="https://youtu.be/Fjxdt_ajgOM" target="_blank">but he isn't wrong on this</a>, saying "Chip in particular tried to be a keyboard commando tough guy the last time they got exposed and went about not just deconstructing his faith, but reconstructing and attempting to say, no, they actually represent the true light of Christianity.”</p><p><br /> </p><p>33) Meanwhile, Angel Studios continues to roll.

      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) So DemoKKKrats won a special election in IA, which was a flip in the state house and removed the R supermajority there. Very low turnout. Yet doesn't sound like the DemoKKKrats are all that pleased. DNC Chairman Ken Martin is back to the libtoid mantra of DemoKKKrats aren't fighting hard enough. Remember this from earlier in the year? <a href="https://www.nysun.com/article/frustrated-dnc-chairman-says-democrats-are-bringing-pencil-to-a-knife-fight?lctg=1679912906&recognized_email=larryschweikart%40gmail.com&utm_source=MG&utm_medium=email-newsletter&utm_campaign=Evening%20Sun%20%202025-08-25" target="_blank">They are "bringing a pencil to a knife fight." </a>So what? Chuck Norris can kill you with the eraser. Meanwhile,<a href="https://www.patrickruffini.com/p/gerrymandering-is-forever?utm_campaign=email-half-post&r=291ar&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> Patrick Ruffini says gerrymandering is forever</a>; that one of the main reasons TX redistricted was the FAILURE of the DemoKKKrats to turn any part of TX blue. But most important, he agrees with me that big house majorities don't matter anymore because there just are not many true "swing" districts left..</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) In the past 3 months,<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/medical/why-are-more-and-more-americans-becoming-disabled?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5561" target="_blank"> 1.1 million <i>more</i> Americans have gone on disability</a>. What's going on? Is this related to the vaxxes?</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) This is political more than economic. <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/trump-fires-lisa-cook-potentially-criminal-conduct-creating-another-opening-fed-board?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5570" target="_blank">President Trump bounced Fed Board Member Lisa Cook,</a> who has been accused of mortgage fraud---you know, like Schiffty the Human Lemur and Big Tish James? (What is it with DemoKKKrats and taking people's homes?) Anyway she vowed a legal fight and Trump was delighted. Now maybe the Fed can stop throttling this economy.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) We have oil. We need refineries.<a href="https://blackmon.substack.com/p/ronald-stein-americans-quality-of?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=712558&post_id=172086193&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> Ronald Stein notes this shortage may jeopardize our quality of life.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>5) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/article/5-things-to-know-about-trumps-orders-targeting-cashless-bail-5906374?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-08-27&src_cmp=mb-2025-08-27&utm_medium=email&est=8i%2FiWqk%2Fp2aEntO7%2BUfnM2M%2BJ5Ylkqa%2BSArM0%2Bok6wSiMgh8acY2NjzSVMoOHup7y4GhIFI%3D" target="_blank">Trump is seeking to end cashless bail,</a> which is, of course, no bail at all. Oh, and <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/08/26/trump-capital-punishment-washington-dc-murder-homicide" target="_blank">Trump wants D.C. to have the death penalty for murders.</a> The whole D.C. affair, while I don't think it was planned this way, shows Trump's incredible newfound political intuition. He now is saying, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-claims-were-against-crime-democrats-like-crime" target="_blank">"we're against crime. DemoKKKrats like crime." </a>See, the thing is, a) he's right, and b) DemoKKKrats CANNOT come out against crime because violent crime especially is so overwhelmingly black. So Trump has forced them into yet another 80/20 position. And right on cue, here is a poll showing <a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-crime-poll-approval-dc-national-guard-5c5d503600cd443e639ab37dc6ddc0dc" target="_blank">81% think crime is a big problem, and the survey says Trump is at 53% approval on crime.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>6) PA had a requirement that ballots returned late or without a signature would not be counted. <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/federal-appeals-court-says-pennsylvania-ballot-date-requirement-violates-constitution-5906322?utm_source=Goodevening&src_src=Goodevening&utm_campaign=gv-2025-08-26&src_cmp=gv-2025-08-26&utm_medium=email&est=Tl7zck8w8k5u5U5Bz6Ct1TsR0VZxxJ2fIoGmYQbAbFrz6qB35HqiBw9Wi7XK4OfLehUMXwEn" target="_blank">Now a court has said that is unconstitutional.</a> The Appeals panel, 2 Ds and 1 Bush appointee, will now see the case head to the Supes, I am guessing.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) I knew it. That slimy Jeff Sessions in Trump's first term abetted the DOJ <a href="https://justthenews.com/government/courts-law/trump-doj-10-slow-walked-or-squashed-inquiries-comey-clinton-schiff-hunter?utm_source=daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter" target="_blank">stymieing and squashing probes on James Scotumoter Comey, Schiffty the Human Lemur, Cankles, and Hunter Biteme.</a> It appears that<a href="https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/1960700429056241743" target="_blank"> Scrotumtoter's FBI had its own email scandal, too.</a> And Bondi's DOJ <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/08/27/us-news/10-fbi-whistleblowers-who-warned-of-political-weaponization-and-faced-retaliation-from-biden-admin-reach-settlements-with-doj/" target="_blank">has reached settlements</a> with 10 FBI whistleblowers who were screwed under the Rutabaga admin.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) So DemoKKKrats won a special election in IA, which was a flip in the state house and removed the R supermajority there. Very low turnout. Yet doesn't sound like the DemoKKKrats are all that pleased. DNC Chairman Ken Martin is back to the libtoid mantra of DemoKKKrats aren't fighting hard enough. Remember this from earlier in the year? <a href="https://www.nysun.com/article/frustrated-dnc-chairman-says-democrats-are-bringing-pencil-to-a-knife-fight?lctg=1679912906&recognized_email=larryschweikart%40gmail.com&utm_source=MG&utm_medium=email-newsletter&utm_campaign=Evening%20Sun%20%202025-08-25" target="_blank">They are "bringing a pencil to a knife fight." </a>So what? Chuck Norris can kill you with the eraser. Meanwhile,<a href="https://www.patrickruffini.com/p/gerrymandering-is-forever?utm_campaign=email-half-post&r=291ar&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> Patrick Ruffini says gerrymandering is forever</a>; that one of the main reasons TX redistricted was the FAILURE of the DemoKKKrats to turn any part of TX blue. But most important, he agrees with me that big house majorities don't matter anymore because there just are not many true "swing" districts left..</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) In the past 3 months,<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/medical/why-are-more-and-more-americans-becoming-disabled?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5561" target="_blank"> 1.1 million <i>more</i> Americans have gone on disability</a>. What's going on? Is this related to the vaxxes?</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) This is political more than economic. <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/trump-fires-lisa-cook-potentially-criminal-conduct-creating-another-opening-fed-board?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5570" target="_blank">President Trump bounced Fed Board Member Lisa Cook,</a> who has been accused of mortgage fraud---you know, like Schiffty the Human Lemur and Big Tish James? (What is it with DemoKKKrats and taking people's homes?) Anyway she vowed a legal fight and Trump was delighted. Now maybe the Fed can stop throttling this economy.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) We have oil. We need refineries.<a href="https://blackmon.substack.com/p/ronald-stein-americans-quality-of?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=712558&post_id=172086193&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> Ronald Stein notes this shortage may jeopardize our quality of life.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>5) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/article/5-things-to-know-about-trumps-orders-targeting-cashless-bail-5906374?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-08-27&src_cmp=mb-2025-08-27&utm_medium=email&est=8i%2FiWqk%2Fp2aEntO7%2BUfnM2M%2BJ5Ylkqa%2BSArM0%2Bok6wSiMgh8acY2NjzSVMoOHup7y4GhIFI%3D" target="_blank">Trump is seeking to end cashless bail,</a> which is, of course, no bail at all. Oh, and <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/08/26/trump-capital-punishment-washington-dc-murder-homicide" target="_blank">Trump wants D.C. to have the death penalty for murders.</a> The whole D.C. affair, while I don't think it was planned this way, shows Trump's incredible newfound political intuition. He now is saying, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-claims-were-against-crime-democrats-like-crime" target="_blank">"we're against crime. DemoKKKrats like crime." </a>See, the thing is, a) he's right, and b) DemoKKKrats CANNOT come out against crime because violent crime especially is so overwhelmingly black. So Trump has forced them into yet another 80/20 position. And right on cue, here is a poll showing <a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-crime-poll-approval-dc-national-guard-5c5d503600cd443e639ab37dc6ddc0dc" target="_blank">81% think crime is a big problem, and the survey says Trump is at 53% approval on crime.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>6) PA had a requirement that ballots returned late or without a signature would not be counted. <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/federal-appeals-court-says-pennsylvania-ballot-date-requirement-violates-constitution-5906322?utm_source=Goodevening&src_src=Goodevening&utm_campaign=gv-2025-08-26&src_cmp=gv-2025-08-26&utm_medium=email&est=Tl7zck8w8k5u5U5Bz6Ct1TsR0VZxxJ2fIoGmYQbAbFrz6qB35HqiBw9Wi7XK4OfLehUMXwEn" target="_blank">Now a court has said that is unconstitutional.</a> The Appeals panel, 2 Ds and 1 Bush appointee, will now see the case head to the Supes, I am guessing.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) I knew it.

      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Who woulda guessed? Cities cited <a href="https://www.nysun.com/article/cities-threatened-with-national-guard-deployments-see-bumps-in-police-recruitment-falling-crime-rates?lctg=1679237530&recognized_email=larryschweikart%40gmail.com&utm_source=MG&utm_medium=email-newsletter&utm_campaign=Morning%20Sun%20%202025-08-25" target="_blank">by Trump as candidates for National Guard anti-crime deployment see a fall in crime and a surge in police recruiting.</a> There has <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7LxfWpWnHk" target="_blank">not been a single homicide</a> in D.C. since the troops arrived. Seems people like them some "law and order" (BOOOONNNNNG) The latest city to <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-floats-sending-military-to-baltimore-to-fight-crime-disaster-5905506?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-08-25&src_cmp=mb-2025-08-25&utm_medium=email&est=vc5JJDCyeSkwoMUs3cFY62HU4EGvCiWnXNGsdYXa4FFfukn7tGrQEVZctG4Zjrs9d63g318%3D" target="_blank">get the eye from Trump is Baltimore.</a> You know, the city where virtually none of its kids can pass a reading or math test? "The Wire" is must-see for what Baltimore is like. Meanwhile, back in D.C., <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/forbearances-monday-august-25-2025?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=171887472&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Jeff Childers,</a> who won't immediately discard any conspiracy hypothesis---cuz most of them come true---notes that the new Trumpian move to have military officers involved in D.C. criminal cases (Cuz, you know, he "fired so many DemoKKKrat analtoenails) does NOT mean . . . tribunals. Not yet. But it does mean no more sweetheart deals from the criminals, and no more endless delays of court dates. So, again, no tribunals . . . just yet. <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/military-officers-shifted-prosecute-local-dc-crimes-trump-takeover-rcna226158?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Hoax News Media</a> is freaking out.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Sorta like Cankles should be charged, <a href="https://x.com/Chicago1Ray/status/1959739717244608844" target="_blank">the FBI is going to charge "The Moustache" John Bolton with selling classified stuff </a>from his Ebay-email. Just kidding about E-bay. He doesn't want to pay the fees. As <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/forbearances-monday-august-25-2025?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=171887472&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Jeff Childers</a> recalls, there was never screaming by the Hoax News media about "excessive fines" or disproportionate justice when it came to Trump and the now-defunct civil fraud case. Oh, noooo Mr. Bill. That only works when the DOJ is going after Bolton, who is dirtier than a Philly Eagles referee. But hold on Jeff: we now know that basically the FBI, DOJ, and Office of National Intelligence not only think Bolton was selling secrets, but that he <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/fbi-john-bolton-94551/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank"><i>got at least one "classification" changed</i> while doing so with the help of . . . wait for it . . . John Brennanski Brennan and James ("The Clap") Clappe</a>r. Might we think they will be next? If so, then I'm gonna run screaming through the saguaros in joy!</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Folks, they are starting to get it. Now the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/08/25/us/politics/electoral-college-seats-republicans-democrats-redistricting.html" target="_blank"><i>NYSlimes</i> runs a terror piece on how the census and redistricting could shift control even further from the DemoKKKrats. </a>Thank God, they STILL aren't digging deep enough to figure out that deportations of 1.6 million illegals <i>will have an effect</i>, that voter roll purges <i>will have an effect</i>; that voter registration changes are real and that Gubment downsizing WILL have an effect in VA. Taken together, even before a new mid-decade census or the 2030 census or the effects of redistricting or the potential for the Supes to rule against racist districts . . . well, I am a drummer so I will continue to beat the extinction drum. The DemoKKKrats are finished before 2030 barring a COVID/War-level change.</p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_8991d3456afd45608b71ead2259edb38~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_602,h_624,al_c,lg_1,q_90,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_8991d3456afd45608b71ead2259edb38~mv2.png" alt="ree" /><p><br /> </p><p>4) More evidence here, as Seth Keshel shows that <a href="https://www.captaink.us/p/katie-hobbs-is-toast-in-2026-heres?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=798984&post_id=171901739&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">voter registration changes in AZ will doom the Hobbit, Gov.

President Trump <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/trump-hits-abc-nbc-fake-news-says-hed-support-fcc-revoking-licenses" target="_blank">hits major Hoax News outlets such as ABC and CBS as "fake news" and threatens to have the FCC revoke their licenses.</a> Good. Should be done.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) A watchdog group says the <a href="https://justthenews.com/government/federal-agencies/watchdog-group-finds-massive-errors-fbi-data-related-civilians-stopping" target="_blank">FBI is undercounting the times armed civilians prevent crime or violence.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Pretty funny. The <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/08/24/zohran-mamdani-failed-bench-press-brooklyn-mens-day-new-york-city-mayor-race/" target="_blank">Amazing Zohran tried an RFK moment where he attempted to bench press 135 pounds, and failed</a>. For the record, back in my buff days, I hired a trainer and normally benched 290.

Then his house was broken into by some youts---not evil, just wayward souls. As Hutch is about to take a 5-iron to them, he notices their revolver chamber is empty, and let's them get away. But later he is sucked back into "the life" by (who else these days?) Russkies. I can forgive that.

But hold on Jeff: we now know that basically the FBI, DOJ, and Office of National Intelligence not only think Bolton was selling secrets, but that he <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/fbi-john-bolton-94551/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank"><i>got at least one "classification" changed</i> while doing so with the help of . . . wait for it . . .

Taken together, even before a new mid-decade census or the 2030 census or the effects of redistricting or the potential for the Supes to rule against racist districts . . . well, I am a drummer so I will continue to beat the extinction drum.

      <title>Today&apos;s News, August 21-23, 2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3><br />IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) This is the way. <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/no-one-is-above-the-law-fbi-raids-former-national-security-advisor-john-boltons-home?utm_source=theblaze-breaking&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Morning%20Trending%20-%20August%2022&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%20TheBlaze%20Breaking%20News&tpcc=email-breaking&sailthru_id=68950ec1b1b9914c7008fee5&mb=Y" target="_blank">The FBI raided the home of former Trump security non-advisor John Bolton</a>, who was viewed as releasing classified information. Good. Now do James Scrotumtoter Comey. Nevertheless, <a href="https://x.com/FBIDirectorKash/status/1958847495028584529?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Kash Patel tweeted</a> "No one is above the law." We'll see how far that goes, but very good first step. Meanwhile the Feds found that <a href="https://justthenews.com/government/federal-agencies/exclusive-prosecutors-secured-evidence-comey-authorized-classified?utm_source=daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter" target="_blank">James (Scrotumtoter) Comey authorized leaks on Russia-related lies, but did not prosecute him</a>. Gee, wonder why?</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Alex Castellanos provides an insightful explanation of why all of the DemoKKKrat positions glom together to be disastrous for the party. Essentially, whether it's wokism, illegals, election stealing, inflation, whatever, it all comes down to <a href="https://x.com/adamwren/status/1958859560749277548" target="_blank">an assault on culture that voters of almost all ages and colors represent.</a> Right on cue, the Third Way, a DemoKKKrat front group trying to make people think they are "bipartisan," <a href="https://x.com/adamwren/status/1958859560749277548" target="_blank">released a memo on terms DemoKKKrats/wokesters must absolutely avoid</a>, including "birthing person," "food insecurity," and "microaggression." Here's the deal little toadmunchers: for the one millionth time, <i><strong>IT. ISN'T. THE. </strong></i><a href="http://messaging.it/" target="_blank"><i><strong>MESSAGING.</strong></i></a> It's the messages. Just as you did in 1861 when you launched a war on America over slaves, you showed you hated America. So far, you have done nothing to convince anyone that you don't still hate America.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) The Supes, with Justice Johnny acting the spooge again, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/supreme-court-allows-trump-admin-to-revoke-dei-related-nih-grants-5904461?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-08-21-5&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-08-21-5&utm_medium=email&est=lRf%2B9%2BVZfsEjGnpe6tNMWQrdiXz%2Fk6%2BrVw34d1H4P5DhI2MI%2Fpv%2F2K3p513Ucm%2FiGY1DeBw%3D" target="_blank">voted 5-4 to allow President Trump to continue revoking DEI-related NIH grants</a>. WINNING.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) A New York Appeals Court <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/appeals-court-tosses-trumps-500-million-civil-penalty-in-business-fraud-case-5904168?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-08-21-2&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-08-21-2&utm_medium=email&est=DqDLN9BBq9N0qC3TJIkL7%2BhCLUqozzo4Derxdle5Ikuv2zmHqT0GGBNoSyPN61U343V8EmF1" target="_blank">threw out Letitia James's $500 million judgment against President Trump in the civil fraud case</a>. MORE WINNING.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) This will be the next fungalknocker to be overturned, as <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/federal-judge-prohibits-us-florida-from-holding-new-detainees-in-alligator-alcatraz-5904626?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-08-22&src_cmp=mb-2025-08-22&utm_medium=email&est=W9Aq5%2FElnBS7zktfnecS%2FeFmSrUFC0tYz%2Fffde6v1b015y4zGcXiwNKzK6fIbXk4vsqdwCY%3D" target="_blank">a judge ruled that neither Trump nor FL can send people to Gator Gitmo.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>6) President Trump <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-police-military-patrol-dc-thursday-night/story?id=124853091" target="_blank">met with the National Guard and cops on the streets in D.C.. </a>We haven't seen a president do anything like this since Abraham Lincoln rode through Richmond with a single guard days after the Confederate surrender. He did not walk the beat with them, which, while it would have been brilliant, nevertheless would have opened him up to all sorts of dangers. I mean, imagine an arrest gone wrong. <a href="https://istandforfreedom.com/trump-takeover-dc-results/?utm_source=actengage&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Since the Trump Takeover, no murders</a>. This is astounding for a city that rivaled Bogota for its murder rate. Maybe that's why he has<a href="https://x.com/PpollingNumbers/status/1958902457267851361" target="_blank"> a +15 advantage with da youts.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>7) According to <i>Politico</i>, <a href="https://x.com/ElectionWiz/status/1958481698800202000" target="_blank">Republicans have about $70 million more cash on hand than the DemoKKKrats</a>, and this doesn't even take into account Trump's $1.4 billion war chest for 2026. And speaking of money, and how the tides are turning, <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2025/08/21/susan-collins-will-go-hollywood-at-major-fundraiser-with-democrats/" target="_blank">Susan ("Tom") Collins will be headed to . . . Hollywood??---for a big fundraiser</a>.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Tulsi Gabbard is<a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/gabbard-slash-director-national-intelligence-staff-50/story?id=124819630" target="_blank"> reorganizing the Office of National Intelligence</a>, slashing it by half. Meanwhile, Gabbard will <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/08/21/tulsi-gabbard-says-new-wave-declass-will-hit/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">have a new round of declassification</a> that she says will expose things never before seen. <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/08/22/breaking-doj-releases-complete-transcript-audio-ghislaine-maxwell/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">DOJ, meanwhile, released the whole Ghislaine Maxwell file</a>, including transcripts.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) Lee Zeldin at EPA <a href="https://istandforfreedom.com/zeldin-billion-climate-slush/?utm_source=actengage&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">discovered that Rutabaga ran slush money through eight different NGOs to make accountability nearly impossible.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>10) A Colorado funeral home has come under investigation after <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/08/22/us-news/colorado-funeral-home-investigated-after-20-bodies-found-decomposing-behind-hidden-door/" target="_blank">discovery of 20 bodies were found decomposing</a>, some for over a decade, behind a hidden door. Fine, but how many were still serving in the CO legislature?</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/08/21/us-news/americas-last-living-ace-pilot-from-world-war-ii-dead-at-103/" target="_blank">America's last living ace pilot from World War II</a>, Donald McPherson, dead at age 103.</p><p><br /> </p><p>12) <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/08/21/us-news/mamdani-like-democratic-socialist-omar-fateh-loses-key-endorsement-in-minneapolis-mayoral-race/" target="_blank">Radical Islamic nutjob Omar Fateh</a>, running to be mayor of New Somalia (Minneapolis) lost a key endorsement. I don't think it will matter.</p><p><br /> </p><p>13) Voter registration changes in NC , <a href="https://x.com/Five_Starrr/status/1959238298058006594" target="_blank">last month by 500,</a> bringing the total DemoKKKrat lead, once 175,000, down to just 15,800, with the active voter lead GOP+91,500.</p><p><br /> </p><p>14) President Trump made <a href="https://protrumpnews.com/trump-nominates-judges-for-district-courts/" target="_blank">four more district court nominees</a>, but he needs to pick up the pace. This is one area where his administration has been lagging.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>15) Kollyfornia gave a <a href="https://shipwreckedcrew.substack.com/p/the-california-dmv-gave-a-commercial?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=284783&post_id=171399627&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">commercial driver's license to an illegal</a>, who tried to make a u-turn in FL and killed three people.</p><p><br /> </p><p>16) <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/immigration/2025/08/20/ice-arrests-surge-4000-virginia/" target="_blank">ICE arrests surged to 4,000 in VA</a>. Good. Now add two zeroes.</p><p><br /> </p><p>17) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/money-wired-to-mexico-hits-a-decade-low-as-us-immigration-policies-take-hold-5903187?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-08-22&src_cmp=mb-2025-08-22&utm_medium=email&est=wKk1Yo898cQz54uEh9LOl0lIXtNgRqzOaGOJhaN0IDsRy9JCyxne%2FVE4VvlRTQ%2B4TdbvcKk%3D" target="_blank">Monthly remittances to Me-hee-co have crashed</a> after Trump's crackdown on illegals.</p><p><br /> </p><p>18) The <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/08/22/trump-us-visas-immigration-vetting-deport" target="_blank">Trump administration is vetting 55 million visa holders for violations</a>. I think this is the first step in the H1B culling that will take place.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>19) So we have a woke female CEO at Cracker Barrel who instituted a new, soulless "reboot" of the brand---it wasn't growing, but it wasn't shrinking. It was serving its market. Her new restaurant logo is hideous, taking out the old man in suspenders (a white man, of course) but the restaurant redesign is grotesque, looking just like Dennys. <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/cracker-barrel-brand-change-outrage?utm_source=theblaze-dailyPM&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Daily-Newsletter__PM%202025-08-21&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%20TheBlaze%20Daily%20PM&tpcc=email" target="_blank">We will join a national boycott, and I've eaten at CB probably once a month since forever.</a> She says customers <a href="https://x.com/robbystarbuck/status/1959097759350378743?t=6n2l3TPAULqtvnKl2TyHSA&s=03" target="_blank">"like what we're doing."</a> Riiiiiight. And she gets her ballots from pre-invasion Iraq.</p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_79755fd1c70a46b78a28ec35cf823b57~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_629,h_816,al_c,lg_1,q_85,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_79755fd1c70a46b78a28ec35cf823b57~mv2.jpg" alt="ree" /><p><br /> </p><p>20) This really is another Bud LIght moment. So far CB has lost $100 million in value. I'm shocked that after the collapse of Bud Light and a couple of other wokester brands anyone allowed this chowderbrain to do this. Robby Starbuck, nowever, shows that <a href="https://x.com/robbystarbuck/status/1959097759350378743?t=6n2l3TPAULqtvnKl2TyHSA&s=03" target="_blank">CB has had a very long and disturbing history with far leftist causes.</a> I know we won't eat there again til this viper's nest of spooge is wiped from management.</p><p><br /> </p><p>21) <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/sen-klobuchar-denies-saying-sydney-sweeney-has-perfect-titties?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5523" target="_blank">Senator Amy Klobuchar screeched that a deepfake had her saying that Sidney Sweeny has "perfect titties."</a> A little fact checking reveals that's true. Not the deepfake part.</p><p><br /> </p><p>22) We all hear the phrase that "kids today grow up sooner." No they don't. They grow up much, much LATER. A new study shows that<a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/fewer-young-adults-reaching-adulthood-milestones-census-report/" target="_blank"> only 17% of young people </a>(and I would add, this applies so much more to MEN), meet the five milestones of adulthood.</p><p><br /> </p><p>23) Correct. President Trump says<a href="https://justthenews.com/nation/states/center-square/trump-probe-smithsonian-museums-woke-ideology" target="_blank"> the Smithsonian museums are "out of control" with woke and he wants them fixed.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN TRANSOID NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>24) In MN <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/sports/lawsuit-over-minnesota-trans-pitcher-heats-up-first-court-hearing" target="_blank">three female softball players have sued to keep a biological male from participating in their girls league</a>, and the case is at the Minny Supreme Court. My guess is they'll approve, and it will head to the Supes.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ECONOMIC NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>25) Wal-Mart's <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/business/walmarts-revenue-rises-profit-growth-falls-short-of-expectations-5904222?utm_source=Goodevening&src_src=Goodevening&utm_campaign=gv-2025-08-21&src_cmp=gv-2025-08-21&utm_medium=email&est=7U9ZC%2FFKMUqhdKcFLyHtKAfFsgxdccEl1%2BuACacCQmXszZ0zr9VK2sjGlqEYBZfXKEOGqOo%3D" target="_blank">revenues rose, but profits fell a little.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>26) The Fed's <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/business/feds-powell-says-current-conditions-may-warrant-interest-rate-cuts-5904768?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-08-22-1&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-08-22-1&utm_medium=email&est=GqpS8DVpfEOLkEP84pCTUz33nOhd73LjcmJpLgjBK59knHJYq1CcxvI35fesszzQEqoagdE%3D" target="_blank">Jerome Powell is apparently ready to consider rate cuts.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>27) Wait, what?

They almost had that with Elliott a few years ago, then their O-line was dinged. And Dallas never has come close to the dominant defenses of the 90s and 80s. Start there. Meanwhile, Netflix's "Quarterback" in its new season is excellent (Joe Burrow, Kirk Cousins, and Jared Goff), but I'm struggling with the new season of "Night Agent." I vow to finish it.</p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_5efc615778624e1ba30a001dcaa3bd45~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_90,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_5efc615778624e1ba30a001dcaa3bd45~mv2.png" alt="ree" />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3><br />IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) This is the way. <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/no-one-is-above-the-law-fbi-raids-former-national-security-advisor-john-boltons-home?utm_source=theblaze-breaking&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Morning%20Trending%20-%20August%2022&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%20TheBlaze%20Breaking%20News&tpcc=email-breaking&sailthru_id=68950ec1b1b9914c7008fee5&mb=Y" target="_blank">The FBI raided the home of former Trump security non-advisor John Bolton</a>, who was viewed as releasing classified information. Good. Now do James Scrotumtoter Comey. Nevertheless, <a href="https://x.com/FBIDirectorKash/status/1958847495028584529?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Kash Patel tweeted</a> "No one is above the law." We'll see how far that goes, but very good first step. Meanwhile the Feds found that <a href="https://justthenews.com/government/federal-agencies/exclusive-prosecutors-secured-evidence-comey-authorized-classified?utm_source=daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter" target="_blank">James (Scrotumtoter) Comey authorized leaks on Russia-related lies, but did not prosecute him</a>. Gee, wonder why?</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Alex Castellanos provides an insightful explanation of why all of the DemoKKKrat positions glom together to be disastrous for the party. Essentially, whether it's wokism, illegals, election stealing, inflation, whatever, it all comes down to <a href="https://x.com/adamwren/status/1958859560749277548" target="_blank">an assault on culture that voters of almost all ages and colors represent.</a> Right on cue, the Third Way, a DemoKKKrat front group trying to make people think they are "bipartisan," <a href="https://x.com/adamwren/status/1958859560749277548" target="_blank">released a memo on terms DemoKKKrats/wokesters must absolutely avoid</a>, including "birthing person," "food insecurity," and "microaggression." Here's the deal little toadmunchers: for the one millionth time, <i><strong>IT. ISN'T. THE. </strong></i><a href="http://messaging.it/" target="_blank"><i><strong>MESSAGING.</strong></i></a> It's the messages. Just as you did in 1861 when you launched a war on America over slaves, you showed you hated America. So far, you have done nothing to convince anyone that you don't still hate America.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) The Supes, with Justice Johnny acting the spooge again, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/supreme-court-allows-trump-admin-to-revoke-dei-related-nih-grants-5904461?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-08-21-5&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-08-21-5&utm_medium=email&est=lRf%2B9%2BVZfsEjGnpe6tNMWQrdiXz%2Fk6%2BrVw34d1H4P5DhI2MI%2Fpv%2F2K3p513Ucm%2FiGY1DeBw%3D" target="_blank">voted 5-4 to allow President Trump to continue revoking DEI-related NIH grants</a>. WINNING.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) A New York Appeals Court <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/appeals-court-tosses-trumps-500-million-civil-penalty-in-business-fraud-case-5904168?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-08-21-2&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-08-21-2&utm_medium=email&est=DqDLN9BBq9N0qC3TJIkL7%2BhCLUqozzo4Derxdle5Ikuv2zmHqT0GGBNoSyPN61U343V8EmF1" target="_blank">threw out Letitia James's $500 million judgment against President Trump in the civil fraud case</a>. MORE WINNING.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) This will be the next fungalknocker to be overturned, as <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/federal-judge-prohibits-us-florida-from-holding-new-detainees-in-alligator-alcatraz-5904626?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-08-22&src_cmp=mb-2025-08-22&utm_medium=email&est=W9Aq5%2FElnBS7zktfnecS%2FeFmSrUFC0tYz%2Fffde6v1b015y4zGcXiwNKzK6fIbXk4vsqdwCY%3D" target="_blank">a judge ruled that neither Trump nor FL can send people to Gator Gitmo.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>6) President Trump <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-police-military-patrol-dc-thursday-night/story?id=124853091" target="_blank">met with the National Guard and cops on the streets in D.C.. </a>We haven't seen a president do anything like this since Abraham Lincoln rode through Richmond with a single guard days after the Confederate surrender. He did not walk the beat with them, which, while it would have been brilliant, nevertheless would have opened him up to all sorts of dangers. I mean, imagine an arrest gone wrong. <a href="https://istandforfreedom.com/trump-takeover-dc-results/?utm_source=actengage&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Since the Trump Takeover, no murders</a>. This is astounding for a city that rivaled Bogota for its murder rate. Maybe that's why he has<a href="https://x.com/PpollingNumbers/status/1958902457267851361" target="_blank"> a +15 advantage with da youts.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>7) According to <i>Politico</i>, <a href="https://x.com/ElectionWiz/status/1958481698800202000" target="_blank">Republicans have about $70 million more cash on hand than the DemoKKKrats</a>, and this doesn't even take into account Trump's $1.4 billion war chest for 2026. And speaking of money, and how the tides are turning, <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2025/08/21/susan-collins-will-go-hollywood-at-major-fundraiser-with-democrats/" target="_blank">Susan ("Tom") Collins will be headed to . . . Hollywood??---for a big fundraiser</a>.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Tulsi Gabbard is<a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/gabbard-slash-director-national-intelligence-staff-50/story?id=124819630" target="_blank"> reorganizing the Office of National Intelligence</a>, slashing it by half. Meanwhile, Gabbard will <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/08/21/tulsi-gabbard-says-new-wave-declass-will-hit/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">have a new round of declassification</a> that she says will expose things never before seen. <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/08/22/breaking-doj-releases-complete-transcript-audio-ghislaine-maxwell/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">DOJ, meanwhile, released the whole Ghislaine Maxwell file</a>, including transcripts.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) Lee Zeldin at EPA <a href="https://istandforfreedom.com/zeldin-billion-climate-slush/?utm_source=actengage&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">discovered that Rutabaga ran slush money through eight different NGOs to make accountability nearly impossible.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>10) A Colorado funeral home has come under investigation after <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/08/22/us-news/colorado-funeral-home-investigated-after-20-bodies-found-decomposing-behind-hidden-door/" target="_blank">discovery of 20 bodies were found decomposing</a>, some for over a decade, behind a hidden door. Fine, but how many were still serving in the CO legislature?</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/08/21/us-news/americas-last-living-ace-pilot-from-world-war-ii-dead-at-103/" target="_blank">America's last living ace pilot from World War II</a>, Donald McPherson, dead at age 103.</p><p><br /> </p><p>12) <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/08/21/us-news/mamdani-like-democratic-socialist-omar-fateh-loses-key-endorsement-in-minneapolis-mayoral-race/" target="_blank">Radical Islamic nutjob Omar Fateh</a>, running to be mayor of New Somalia (Minneapolis) lost a key endorsement. I don't think it will matter.</p><p><br /> </p><p>13) Voter registration changes in NC , <a href="https://x.com/Five_Starrr/status/1959238298058006594" target="_blank">last month by 500,</a> bringing the total DemoKKKrat lead, once 175,000, down to just 15,800, with the active voter lead GOP+91,500.</p><p><br /> </p><p>14) President Trump made <a href="https://protrumpnews.com/trump-nominates-judges-for-district-courts/" target="_blank">four more district court nominees</a>, but he needs to pick up the pace. This is one area where his administration has been lagging.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>15) Kollyfornia gave a <a href="https://shipwreckedcrew.substack.com/p/the-california-dmv-gave-a-commercial?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=284783&post_id=171399627&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">commercial driver's license to an illegal</a>, who tried to make a u-turn in FL and killed three people.</p><p><br /> </p><p>16) <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/immigration/2025/08/20/ice-arrests-surge-4000-virginia/" target="_blank">ICE arrests surged to 4,000 in VA</a>. Good. Now add two zeroes.</p><p><br /> </p><p>17) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/money-wired-to-mexico-hits-a-decade-low-as-us-immigration-policies-take-hold-5903187?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-08-22&src_cmp=mb-2025-08-22&utm_medium=email&est=wKk1Yo898cQz54uEh9LOl0lIXtNgRqzOaGOJhaN0IDsRy9JCyxne%2FVE4VvlRTQ%2B4TdbvcKk%3D" target="_blank">Monthly remittances to Me-hee-co have crashed</a> after Trump's crackdown on illegals.</p><p><br /> </p><p>18) The <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/08/22/trump-us-visas-immigration-vetting-deport" target="_blank">Trump administration is vetting 55 million visa holders for violations</a>. I think this is the first step in the H1B culling that will take place.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>19) So we have a woke female CEO at Cracker Barrel who instituted a new, soulless "reboot" of the brand---it wasn't growing, but it wasn't shrinking. It was serving its market. Her new restaurant logo is hideous, taking out the old man in suspenders (a white man, of course) but the restaurant redesign is grotesque, looking just like Dennys. <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/cracker-barrel-brand-change-outrage?utm_source=theblaze-dailyPM&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Daily-Newsletter__PM%202025-08-21&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%20TheBlaze%20Daily%20PM&tpcc=email" target="_blank">We will join a national boycott, and I've eaten at CB probably once a month since forever.</a> She says customers <a href="https://x.com/robbystarbuck/status/1959097759350378743?t=6n2l3TPAULqtvnKl2TyHSA&s=03" target="_blank">"like what we're doing."</a> Riiiiiight. And she gets her ballots from pre-invasion Iraq.</p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_79755fd1c70a46b78a28ec35cf823b57~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_629,h_816,al_c,lg_1,q_85,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_79755fd1c70a46b78a28ec35cf823b57~mv2.jpg" alt="ree" /><p><br /> </p><p>20) This really is another Bud LIght moment. So far CB has lost $100 million in value. I'm shocked that after the collapse of Bud Light and a couple of other wokester brands anyone allowed this chowderbrain to do this. Robby Starbuck, nowever, shows that <a href="https://x.com/robbystarbuck/status/1959097759350378743?t=6n2l3TPAULqtvnKl2TyHSA&s=03" target="_blank">CB has had a very long and disturbing history with far leftist causes.</a> I know we won't eat there again til this viper's nest of spooge is wiped from management.</p><p><br /> </p><p>21) <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/sen-klobuchar-denies-saying-sydney-sweeney-has-perfect-titties?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5523" target="_blank">Senator Amy Klobuchar screeched that a deepfake had her saying that Sidney Sweeny has "perfect titties."</a> A little fact checking reveals that's true. Not the deepfake part.</p><p><br /> </p><p>22) We all hear the phrase that "kids today grow up sooner." No they don't. They grow up much, much LATER. A new study shows that<a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/fewer-young-adults-reaching-adulthood-milestones-census-report/" target="_blank"> only 17% of young people </a>(and I would add, this applies so much more to MEN), meet the five milestones of adulthood.</p><p><br /> </p><p>23) Correct. President Trump says<a href="https://justthenews.com/nation/states/center-square/trump-probe-smithsonian-museums-woke-ideology" target="_blank"> the Smithsonian museums are "out of control" with woke and he wants them fixed.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN TRANSOID NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>24) In MN <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/sports/lawsuit-over-minnesota-trans-pitcher-heats-up-first-court-hearing" target="_blank">three female softball players have sued to keep a biological male from participating in their girls league</a>, and the case is at the Minny Supreme Court. My guess is they'll approve, and it will head to the Supes.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ECONOMIC NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>25) Wal-Mart's <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/business/walmarts-revenue-rises-profit-growth-falls-short-of-expectations-5904222?utm_source=Goodevening&src_src=Goodevening&utm_campaign=gv-2025-08-21&src_cmp=gv-2025-08-21&utm_medium=email&est=7U9ZC%2FFKMUqhdKcFLyHtKAfFsgxdccEl1%2BuACacCQmXszZ0zr9VK2sjGlqEYBZfXKEOGqOo%3D" target="_blank">revenues rose, but profits fell a little.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>26) The Fed's <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/business/feds-powell-says-current-conditions-may-warrant-interest-rate-cuts-5904768?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-08-22-1&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-08-22-1&utm_medium=email&est=GqpS8DVpfEOLkEP84pCTUz33nOhd73LjcmJpLgjBK59knHJYq1CcxvI35fesszzQEqoagdE%3D" target="_blank">Jerome Powell is apparently ready to consider rate cuts.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>27) Wait, what?

They almost had that with Elliott a few years ago, then their O-line was dinged. And Dallas never has come close to the dominant defenses of the 90s and 80s. Start there. Meanwhile, Netflix's "Quarterback" in its new season is excellent (Joe Burrow, Kirk Cousins, and Jared Goff), but I'm struggling with the new season of "Night Agent." I vow to finish it.</p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_5efc615778624e1ba30a001dcaa3bd45~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_90,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_5efc615778624e1ba30a001dcaa3bd45~mv2.png" alt="ree" />

Bad news: they are admitting they have a problem. The good news? They still don't know what and still think it involves "messaging" or that they can continue in their TDS Trump Hate and be successful.

That's all DemoKKKrats want them for.</p><p><br /> </p><p>12) <a href="https://x.com/OANN/status/1957987381094797509?t=r-TZdXdjUsusYdkrfqi4VA&s=03" target="_blank">ICE has busted a big Nebraska human trafficking ring</a>.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Trump's <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/08/18/poll-trump-approval-surges-to-54-after-meeting-with-putin/" target="_blank">approval soared to 54% after his meeting with Pootie Poot</a>. Then there was the phenomenal follow up where he sat at the Resolute Desk and the little Eurogoblins sat in front of him like college students at a seminar. Trump reiterated<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/trump-assures-no-us-boots-on-the-ground-as-part-of-ukraine-security-guarantees-5903074?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-08-20&src_cmp=mb-2025-08-20&utm_medium=email&est=LzfE2wCis0t%2FKqdnFp6VLocN7hGOGZ3nZX6a39dDTG2WdbEsQMyFCMOqGqm4KNZdggfmtj8%3D" target="_blank"> there will be no U.S. boots on the ground in Ukraine.</a></p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_e9da16992b524d33a573ddfe46720ff5~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_815,h_389,al_c,lg_1,q_80,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_e9da16992b524d33a573ddfe46720ff5~mv2.jpg" alt="ree" /><p><br /> </p><p>2) Andrew Bailey, the hard-nosed AG of MO, <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/missouri-attorney-general-appointed-deputy-director-fbi/story?id=124764098" target="_blank">has been added to the Trump DOJ as a deputy director alongside Dan Bongino. </a>The DOJ, meanwhile, <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/08/18/doj-epstein-files-congress-friday-house-oversight" target="_blank">will start sharing Epstein files with Congress this week.</a> And Harmeet Dhillon says that 75% of Rutabaga's DOJ/DEI hires have left the Civil Rights Division and that it now <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/08/18/exclusive-harmeet-dhillon-75-bidens-doj-civil-rights-division-left-hiring-real-enforcement/" target="_blank">will begin hiring real law enforcement personnel.</a> Regardless, it appears someone is worried, as <a href="https://protrumpnews.com/schiff-launches-legal-defense-fund/" target="_blank">Schiffty the Human Lemur has started a Legal Defense Fund.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>3) DNI head Tulsi Gabbard has <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/08/19/tulsi-gabbard-james-clapper-odni-security-clearance-russia-hoax-intelligence/" target="_blank">revoked 40 more security clearances</a>.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) The Seattle Police Chief was <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/seattle-police-chief-reportedly-having-lunch-2m-jewelry-store-robbery-happened-just-yards-away" target="_blank">having lunch while a $2 million jewelry store heist was happening yards away.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>5) President Trump is <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/08/19/trump-us-attorneys-senate-confirmation-bypass-00515124" target="_blank">bypassing both the Senate and the courts in installing MAGA loyal prosecutors.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>6) The<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/20/us/politics/democratic-party-voter-registration-crisis.html" target="_blank"> <i>New York Slimes</i> suddenly caught up to me in noting that there has been a sea change with voter registrations.</a> The article basically recounts everything you've heard from me for a year. Bad news: they are admitting they have a problem. The good news? They still don't know what and still think it involves "messaging" or that they can continue in their TDS Trump Hate and be successful. Meanwhile, <a href="https://x.com/QuantusInsights/status/1958224392913142239" target="_blank">this analysis says that the GOP is winning with the "volatile" voters and that a realignment is coming.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>7) The <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/wtf-are-you-guys-doing-doj-exposes-black-and-white-evidence-biden-admin-knew-autopenned-pardons-were-legally-flawed?utm_source=theblaze-breaking&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Morning%20Trending%20-%20August%2020&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%20TheBlaze%20Breaking%20News&tpcc=email-breaking" target="_blank">DOJ has released "black and white" evidence</a> that the Rutabaga administration knew it was using legally flawed autopen signing.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Since the feds took over policing D.C., there have been <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/more-than-460-arrests-made-since-federal-takeover-of-dc-policing-5903206?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-08-19-4&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-08-19-4&utm_medium=email&utm_term=digital&est=Tl1sDLpNURf%2FBaDUf70ZmO4YLfPk7w5x320v0njyTFa8iQfXOt2TkQYY%2BmwOfonNq5Ifp3mX" target="_blank">450 arrests and car-jackings, murders, and other measures of crime have actually fallen</a>, not just dropped due to data diddling. <a href="https://x.com/DCPoliceUnion/status/1957435067258577173" target="_blank">Look at these numbers</a> from the D.C. police union head. The <i>New York Slimes</i> admits that DemoKKKrat leaders were afraid that backing law enforcement would hurt them politically.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) Goooood! The "<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/16/climate/environmental-strategy-trump.html?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Climate movement" now faces a generational setback</a> under Trump. Make it a millennial setback and now we're talking.</p><p> </p><p>10) The TX House passed its redistricting map, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/texas-house-passes-new-congressional-map-favoring-republicans-5903579?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-08-20-4&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-08-20-4&utm_medium=email&utm_term=digital&est=yruY%2FNdb4AIb2uy0KJmfWmH2WL7Mv4ze8MolWgMyWy%2Be06LuSz5sLEbflblPBIKmzHK4pX1L" target="_blank">giving the GOP up to five more seats.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>11) Sen. Charles "The Lawnmower" Grassley<a href="https://justthenews.com/government/congress/grassley-releases-data-showing-biden-admin-placed-over-10k-migrant-children" target="_blank"> has produced data that the Rutabaga administration placed 10,000 illegal kids with unvetted sponsors</a>. So who needs to be vetted to run a sweat shop . . . or worse? That's all DemoKKKrats want them for.</p><p><br /> </p><p>12) <a href="https://x.com/OANN/status/1957987381094797509?t=r-TZdXdjUsusYdkrfqi4VA&s=03" target="_blank">ICE has busted a big Nebraska human trafficking ring</a>. Again, this is number 16 since February. Where are they getting all their leads? Couldn't be from Epstein witnesses, could it?</p><p><br /> </p><p>13) An Indian released after only four years in jail when he killed 16 members of an ice hocket team in a car crash <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15018765/broncos-truck-crash-jaskirat-sidhu-deportation-parole-florida-crash.html" target="_blank">is fighting deportation.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>14) Karma, as the writer who bashed Sidney Sweeny <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/new-yorker-writer-who-trashed-sydney-sweeney-deletes-social-media-after-anti-white-posts-resurface" target="_blank">had to delete all her social media posts after anti-white rants surfaced.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>15) We are <a href="https://futurism.com/the-byte/chatgpt-dependence-addiction?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">already seeing AI addiction,</a> and companies are urged to take steps to combat it.</p><p><br /> </p><p>16) Just the<a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15018773/mass-brawl-carnival-cruise-ship-chicken-tenders.html" target="_blank"> latest mass brawl on a Carnival Cruise ship by ferals,</a> this time starting over chicken tenders.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN TRANSOID NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>17) A school with a<a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/08/18/loudoun-county-boys-locker-room-girl/" target="_blank"> pro-transoid policy has disciplined boys who wondered aloud why there was a girl in their locker room</a>.

      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) President Trump gave Pootie-poot <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/first-lady-melania-trump-pens-letter-to-putin-about-protecting-children-5902224?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-08-17&src_cmp=mb-2025-08-17&utm_medium=email&est=UFLIiPI6IfRZ%2FBJnUYx7c9jG8rIOKGB7bCja3NEnvYJH7w26Jbl7Z743z6B5zOcjlUIpLZI%3D" target="_blank">a letter from the First Lady imploring him to seek peace.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) The summit between President Trump and Pootie-poot <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-putin-summit-ends-with-hopes-of-deal-but-no-cease-fire-5901927?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-08-15-8&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-08-15-8&utm_medium=email&utm_term=digital&est=g3QBrYT%2FFT7iEOm5HUO7BE9bJI1k5Dm4jAob8xMZYDRg8cQcHifOW7tA0sMMCkj%2B0u%2FWS%2Fc%3D" target="_blank">ended on a friendly note, but without a cease fire in Ukraine</a>. Nevertheless, Trump says they will be going straight to an end-of-the-war scenario. Today, <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/08/17/breaking-zelensky-arrives-d-c-ahead-meeting-president/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">Green Screen Zelensky and the Euros are in town</a>. (Sounds like a band). The Left and the warhawks in the GOP are counting on these talks to fail. As i stated on X, leftists on the whole utterly hate ANYTHING positive President Trump does. Hence, <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/in_focus/3501777/the-top-5-media-fails-of-trump-2-0/" target="_blank">the <i>Washington Examiner </i>has five stories the Hoax Media failed at.</a> At any rate, dollars to donuts that the discussions are overwhelmingly about "security guarantees" for Ukraine, and may involve a hodgepodge of foreign troops, including Turks. Great. Just what Europe needs is more Muslims.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Another DemoKKKrat, this time<a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1956419086717444133?t=kQttEZOep4seIeFgiV2ubg&s=03" target="_blank"> LaToya Cantrell, Mayor of N'yawlins, has been indicted for corruption.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>4) A court (naturally)<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/judge-temporarily-blocks-federal-takeover-of-dc-police-5901848?utm_source=Goodevening&src_src=Goodevening&utm_campaign=gv-2025-08-15&src_cmp=gv-2025-08-15&utm_medium=email&est=1CIUcSbg7ALk98B4Y60TiDvFKFi%2BJhEQpYfyRbVJDXCB%2F%2FUW1faOL29Hi6h3Os9I9jHr664n" target="_blank"> temporarily halted the Trump administration's installation of a new D.C. police commissioner.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Pam Bondi is on a winning streak of epic proportions. <a href="https://shipwreckedcrew.substack.com/p/second-big-dc-appeals-court-win-this?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=284783&post_id=171098632&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">She just won another case---the second big D.C. appeals court ruling in a week</a>---allowing Trump to proceed to reduce the size of the federal work force.

Step by step . . .</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) VA governor Glenn Youngkin <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/youngkin-orders-investigation-claims-staff-virginia-school-arranged-abortions-without-parental-consent" target="_blank">ordered an investigation of the school that assisted youths with abortions without notifying the parents.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>7) A new study shows that throughout Europe and America, although leaders tend to align with the majority's economic positions,<a href="https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4230288" target="_blank"> they are substantially to the left on all cultural issues. So called "right wing populists" in fact bridge that gap.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Good. Trump has <a href="https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/energy/his-first-200-days-trump-has-overturned-biden-climate-agenda-breakneck-speed?utm_source=daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter" target="_blank">overturned the Rutabaga climate agenda a breakneck speeds.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>9) Trump is going to put forth<a href="https://protrumpnews.com/trump-i-am-going-to-lead-a-movement-to-get-rid-of-mail-in-ballots/" target="_blank"> an executive order getting rid of mail-in ballots and questionable machines</a>. Don't think the Supes would back him on this, as voting procedures are left to the states in the Constitution.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) <a href="https://www.independentsentinel.com/california-voters-dont-like-the-newsom-democrat-redistricting-plan/" target="_blank">At a 2:1 clip,</a> Kollyfornia voters don't like Gruesome's new CA apportionment map. Meanwhile, whipped <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/texas-democrats-end-2-week-walkout-setting-up-vote-on-congressional-map-favoring-republicans-5902623?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-08-18-1&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-08-18-1&utm_medium=email&est=6dSMMoC3O%2F1d6PUAWe1eFyVfBouEjA4hm%2B286ERC%2F0ZCvoIJLWA7rj%2FTMy%2B82OwcphF8gZyz" target="_blank">TX DemoKKKrats returned to vote in the TX redistricting.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>11) DemoKKKrat-run Boston descends into Mad Max level as <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15010413/Boston-dirt-bike-riders-freeway-scooters-chaotic.html" target="_blank">over 100 bikers and dirt bikers took over a freeway tunnel.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>12) When you say "big city crime," much of the time you are implying two things: Illegals and homeless. Once again, Trump owns an 80/20 lead over DemoKKKrats, who first responded to his takeover of D.C. as "dictatorship" (what's new?), but <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/18/us/politics/trump-democrats-crime.html" target="_blank">now they want to "tread cautiously" as they may have realized that people actually like safe, clean cities.</a> Now, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/west-virginia-to-deploy-national-guard-to-support-dc-crime-crackdown-5902208?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">West Virginia, Ohio, and South Carolina</a> are offering National Guard troops to help in D.C. Oh, and Trump's task force on D.C. <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/trumps-task-94274/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">slashed gun permit wait times from months to days.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>13) Homeland Security secretary Kristi Noem says that so <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/kristi-trump-94275/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">far more than 1.6 million illegals have self-deported, bringing the total forcibly deported </a>and self-deported to around 2 million, or right on target.</p><p><br /> </p><p>14) New York gov. Hock-a-lugie <a href="https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2025/08/17/dem-governor-literally-pardoned-a-convicted-killer-to-protect-him-from-deportation-n4942789" target="_blank">pardoned a convicted killer rather than allow him to be deported</a>. Yeah, this stuff is really supported by the public.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>15) Ryan Burge finds <a href="https://www.graphsaboutreligion.com/p/how-many-nones-are-exvangelicals?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1561197&post_id=168793532&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">no evidence that the ranks of the "nones" are swelling from disillusioned evangelicals.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>16) The whole Sidney Sweeny uproar was telling in so many ways, not the least of which was that at first DemoKKKrats <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2025/08/08/sydney-sweeney-republicans-win-media-ecosystem-00497761" target="_blank">freaked out</a> because, once again, they still believe that it is the messaging rather than the message that is driving conservative and Trumpian victories. Then, Zero, who disparaged people with their guns and their Bibles, <a href="https://www.mercurynews.com/2021/10/23/obama-attacks-gop-candidates-phony-culture-wars-in-virginia/" target="_blank">claimed the entire culture war was "phony."</a> Again, this is why he is Zero: he has never had a clue about what was real, thinking he got elected because of his (ahem) "ideas." Anyway, who was putting out the notion that Sweeny was just a "messenger"? It was none other than Robert Flaherty who was part of Rutabaga's digital coverup machine. Writer Robert Busek notes in <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2025/08/14/democrats-are-lying-to-themselves-about-why-their-party-is-collapsing/" target="_blank"><i>The Federalist</i></a> that this shouldn't be a surprise, as many of the DemoKKKrat "legislators" now are little more than social media grifters (Think Jazzy What-a-Crockett or Farticus---Eric Swalwell). Not surprisingly, Flaherty concludes (as do almost all of the leftists offering solutions) that the key is to focus on the "formation of perceptions." Get it? Not <i><strong>fixing problems</strong></i>, which is what Trump (and a handful) of Republicans do, but convincing you that they are trying to fix problems. DemoKKKrats are turning out to be the AI Girlfriend who tell a guy what he wants to hear, but ultimately are just air. Except in many cases the DemoKKKrats are so far gone they are the AI Girlfriend from Hell who tells the guy how horrible he is. Good luck.</p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_b5c6a4a403b1404a8b6d152335bf86cd~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1280,h_720,al_c,q_85,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_b5c6a4a403b1404a8b6d152335bf86cd~mv2.jpg" alt="ree" /><p><br /> </p><p>17) A related story is here: "<a href="https://nypost.com/2025/08/17/us-news/how-downtown-los-angeles-turned-into-a-crime-ridden-eyesore/" target="_blank">How Downtown LA became a "boarded-up ghost town."</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>18) <a href="https://www.city-journal.org/article/democrats-left-trump-universities?skip=1" target="_blank">Another important cultural piece comes from <i>City Journal</i></a> and asks "Why isn't the Left marching for universities?" The answer is threefold. Universities have become increasingly less important in our economic and cultural lives; they have become overwhelmingly woke,; and their work product is under suspicion for being compromised by Prog values, especially after October 7. As an American historian, it's fascinating to note the difference between the media/university reaction to 9/11 and the reaction to Israel's 9/11, October 7. It's night and day, and in the process, the universities have become tarred by their fanatical Jew hatred.</p><p><br /> </p><p>19) Finally, in this group of stories about culture, see my substack called <a href="https://larrys.substack.com/p/para-social-sites" target="_blank">"Para-(Social)-SITES"</a> that shows from Vegas's decline to the rise of lobotomized video game <i>watchers</i> (get it? These kids aren't playing the video games, they are like a crowd at a tennis match) are symptoms of a dysfunctional society headed for AI-type="romantic" breakups and worse. I will not be surprised if before too long we do not have a shooting by a male who was dumped by his AI "girlfriend."</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>20) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/european-leaders-will-join-zelenskyy-at-white-house-meeting-with-trump-5902300?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">Green Screen Zelensky and several Euro leaders will meet in D.C. this week to try to finalize a Uke peace deal</a>.

Today, <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/08/17/breaking-zelensky-arrives-d-c-ahead-meeting-president/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">Green Screen Zelensky and the Euros are in town</a>. (Sounds like a band). The Left and the warhawks in the GOP are counting on these talks to fail. As i stated on X, leftists on the whole utterly hate ANYTHING positive President Trump does. Hence, <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/in_focus/3501777/the-top-5-media-fails-of-trump-2-0/" target="_blank">the <i>Washington Examiner </i>has five stories the Hoax Media failed at.</a> At any rate, dollars to donuts that the discussions are overwhelmingly about "security guarantees" for Ukraine, and may involve a hodgepodge of foreign troops, including Turks. Great. Just what Europe needs is more Muslims.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Another DemoKKKrat, this time<a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1956419086717444133?t=kQttEZOep4seIeFgiV2ubg&s=03" target="_blank"> LaToya Cantrell, Mayor of N'yawlins, has been indicted for corruption.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>4) A court (naturally)<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/judge-temporarily-blocks-federal-takeover-of-dc-police-5901848?utm_source=Goodevening&src_src=Goodevening&utm_campaign=gv-2025-08-15&src_cmp=gv-2025-08-15&utm_medium=email&est=1CIUcSbg7ALk98B4Y60TiDvFKFi%2BJhEQpYfyRbVJDXCB%2F%2FUW1faOL29Hi6h3Os9I9jHr664n" target="_blank"> temporarily halted the Trump administration's installation of a new D.C. police commissioner.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Pam Bondi is on a winning streak of epic proportions. <a href="https://shipwreckedcrew.substack.com/p/second-big-dc-appeals-court-win-this?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=284783&post_id=171098632&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">She just won another case---the second big D.C. appeals court ruling in a week</a>---allowing Trump to proceed to reduce the size of the federal work force.

Step by step . . .</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) VA governor Glenn Youngkin <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/youngkin-orders-investigation-claims-staff-virginia-school-arranged-abortions-without-parental-consent" target="_blank">ordered an investigation of the school that assisted youths with abortions without notifying the parents.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>7) A new study shows that throughout Europe and America, although leaders tend to align with the majority's economic positions,<a href="https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4230288" target="_blank"> they are substantially to the left on all cultural issues. So called "right wing populists" in fact bridge that gap.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Good. Trump has <a href="https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/energy/his-first-200-days-trump-has-overturned-biden-climate-agenda-breakneck-speed?utm_source=daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter" target="_blank">overturned the Rutabaga climate agenda a breakneck speeds.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>9) Trump is going to put forth<a href="https://protrumpnews.com/trump-i-am-going-to-lead-a-movement-to-get-rid-of-mail-in-ballots/" target="_blank"> an executive order getting rid of mail-in ballots and questionable machines</a>. Don't think the Supes would back him on this, as voting procedures are left to the states in the Constitution.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) <a href="https://www.independentsentinel.com/california-voters-dont-like-the-newsom-democrat-redistricting-plan/" target="_blank">At a 2:1 clip,</a> Kollyfornia voters don't like Gruesome's new CA apportionment map.

Once again, Trump owns an 80/20 lead over DemoKKKrats, who first responded to his takeover of D.C. as "dictatorship" (what's new?), but <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/18/us/politics/trump-democrats-crime.html" target="_blank">now they want to "tread cautiously" as they may have realized that people actually like safe, clean cities.</a> Now, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/west-virginia-to-deploy-national-guard-to-support-dc-crime-crackdown-5902208?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">West Virginia, Ohio, and South Carolina</a> are offering National Guard troops to help in D.C. Oh, and Trump's task force on D.C. <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/trumps-task-94274/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">slashed gun permit wait times from months to days.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>13) Homeland Security secretary Kristi Noem says that so <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/kristi-trump-94275/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">far more than 1.6 million illegals have self-deported, bringing the total forcibly deported </a>and self-deported to around 2 million, or right on target.</p><p><br /> </p><p>14) New York gov. Hock-a-lugie <a href="https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2025/08/17/dem-governor-literally-pardoned-a-convicted-killer-to-protect-him-from-deportation-n4942789" target="_blank">pardoned a convicted killer rather than allow him to be deported</a>. Yeah, this stuff is really supported by the public.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>15) Ryan Burge finds <a href="https://www.graphsaboutreligion.com/p/how-many-nones-are-exvangelicals?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1561197&post_id=168793532&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">no evidence that the ranks of the "nones" are swelling from disillusioned evangelicals.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>16) The whole Sidney Sweeny uproar was telling in so many ways, not the least of which was that at first DemoKKKrats <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2025/08/08/sydney-sweeney-republicans-win-media-ecosystem-00497761" target="_blank">freaked out</a> because, once again, they still believe that it is the messaging rather than the message that is driving conservative and Trumpian victories. Then, Zero, who disparaged people with their guns and their Bibles, <a href="https://www.mercurynews.com/2021/10/23/obama-attacks-gop-candidates-phony-culture-wars-in-virginia/" target="_blank">claimed the entire culture war was "phony."</a> Again, this is why he is Zero: he has never had a clue about what was real, thinking he got elected because of his (ahem) "ideas." Anyway, who was putting out the notion that Sweeny was just a "messenger"? It was none other than Robert Flaherty who was part of Rutabaga's digital coverup machine. Writer Robert Busek notes in <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2025/08/14/democrats-are-lying-to-themselves-about-why-their-party-is-collapsing/" target="_blank"><i>The Federalist</i></a> that this shouldn't be a surprise, as many of the DemoKKKrat "legislators" now are little more than social media grifters (Think Jazzy What-a-Crockett or Farticus---Eric Swalwell). Not surprisingly, Flaherty concludes (as do almost all of the leftists offering solutions) that the key is to focus on the "formation of perceptions." Get it? Not <i><strong>fixing problems</strong></i>, which is what Trump (and a handful) of Republicans do, but convincing you that they are trying to fix problems. DemoKKKrats are turning out to be the AI Girlfriend who tell a guy what he wants to hear, but ultimately are just air. Except in many cases the DemoKKKrats are so far gone they are the AI Girlfriend from Hell who tells the guy how horrible he is. Good luck.</p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_b5c6a4a403b1404a8b6d152335bf86cd~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1280,h_720,al_c,q_85,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_b5c6a4a403b1404a8b6d152335bf86cd~mv2.jpg" alt="ree" /><p><br /> </p><p>17) A related story is here: "<a href="https://nypost.com/2025/08/17/us-news/how-downtown-los-angeles-turned-into-a-crime-ridden-eyesore/" target="_blank">How Downtown LA became a "boarded-up ghost town."</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>18) <a href="https://www.city-journal.org/article/democrats-left-trump-universities?skip=1" target="_blank">Another important cultural piece comes from <i>City Journal</i></a> and asks "Why isn't the Left marching for universities?" The answer is threefold. Universities have become increasingly less important in our economic and cultural lives; they have become overwhelmingly woke,; and their work product is under suspicion for being compromised by Prog values, especially after October 7. As an American historian, it's fascinating to note the difference between the media/university reaction to 9/11 and the reaction to Israel's 9/11, October 7. It's night and day, and in the process, the universities have become tarred by their fanatical Jew hatred.</p><p><br /> </p><p>19) Finally, in this group of stories about culture, see my substack called <a href="https://larrys.substack.com/p/para-social-sites" target="_blank">"Para-(Social)-SITES"</a> that shows from Vegas's decline to the rise of lobotomized video game <i>watchers</i> (get it? These kids aren't playing the video games, they are like a crowd at a tennis match) are symptoms of a dysfunctional society headed for AI-type="romantic" breakups and worse. I will not be surprised if before too long we do not have a shooting by a male who was dumped by his AI "girlfriend."</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>20) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/european-leaders-will-join-zelenskyy-at-white-house-meeting-with-trump-5902300?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">Green Screen Zelensky and several Euro leaders will meet in D.C. this week to try to finalize a Uke peace deal</a>.

And the illlegals and homeless there weren't even part of Coxey's Army or the Bonus marchers! In fact,<a href="https://x.com/Bubblebathgirl/status/1956001068975820914?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> residents were even pitching in to clean up the camps.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>NOTE: By the way, remember all those "moderate" DemoKKKrats who wanted "good government"?

Hmmmm.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>12) <a href="https://istandforfreedom.com/melania-trump-hunter-showdown/?utm_source=actengage&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Melania Trump</a> keeps a relatively low profile but the latest sliming by Hunter Biteme got her to sue him for his pants.

Great. What do they do without a grid?</p><p><br /> </p><p>18) In advance of their summit today,<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/putin-praises-trumps-ukraine-peace-push-suggests-us-russia-nuclear-arms-deal-5901165?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-08-14-1&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-08-14-1&utm_medium=email&est=Mno2UK%2FTuiQzCY3vS9PdPhKkEPnhl1jo3W7pcmaaQM%2Bt1AUkmriylIOeoh0bcjb7IUTQC9BG" target="_blank"> Pootie-poot has praised Trump</a> as <a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/08/shocker-hillary-clinton-drops-bombshell-says-shed-nominate/" target="_blank">Cankles says if Trump can pull off a peace deal</a>, he should get the Nobel Prize.

They thought they'd fool around, now they are finding out.</p><p><br /> </p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>21) Marvel's <a href="https://locals.com/yellowflash/feed?post=7194413" target="_blank">"Fantastic Four: First Steps"</a> crawls to break even, but won't be a hit. Following the same pattern as the flop "Thunderbolts," which only grossed $400m, i.e., broke even.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN MEDICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>22) A new study shows that<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/covid-19-vaccine-recipients-more-likely-to-suffer-respiratory-illness-study-5900002?autoemail=larry.schweikart%40gmail.com&utm_source=deployer&utm_medium=EmailMk&utm_content=&utm_campaign=new&utm_term=" target="_blank"> recipients of the China Virus vax suffered higher rates of respiratory problems post jab.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>23) <a href="https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/new-study-high-wireless-emf-exposure?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1119676&post_id=170936787&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&token=eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjoyMzM4MDAzMSwicG9zdF9pZCI6MTcwOTM2Nzg3LCJpYXQiOjE3NTUyNjcxMjksImV4cCI6MTc1Nzg1OTEyOSwiaXNzIjoicHViLTExMTk2NzYiLCJzdWIiOiJwb3N0LXJlYWN0aW9uIn0.PU6sjnyUq2W0xp0FhkxXh2YjO2dHoCjqDfkSoTdbr2E&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Wireless EMF exposure</a> triples the developmental risks in kiddos.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>AND FINALLY . . .</h3><p><br /> </p><p>24) This is wild. In 1973<a href="https://x.com/thedarshakrana/status/1955738905510338925" target="_blank"> Ingo Swann</a>, apparently reading a lot of Carlos Casteneda, found he could "exit his own body" and travel around. Presumably he went to Disney World first, but then he "traveled" the globe. He said he "mentally traveled" to Jupiter. When he worked with researchers, they gave him tests of describing various places around the world from a Stanford lab, which he did . . . to great detail. They gave him coordinates in space, and he described intricately Jupiter. Every detail he reported was confirmed by Voyager . . . in 1979. So, of course, the CIA paid him a visit and under code name "STAR GATE" they sent him to remotely spy on Soviet and ChiCom nuke facilities and to "other dimensions." He said these existed right on top of ours. This certainly aligns with the Bible and "portals" such as the one Jacob saw with angels ascending and descending or the story in 2 Kings 6:17 where Elisha's servant was shown a massive angelic army surrounding the enemy besieging the city. What wasn't revealed was if Ingo saw where they put Jimmy Hoffa.</p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_5efc615778624e1ba30a001dcaa3bd45~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_90,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_5efc615778624e1ba30a001dcaa3bd45~mv2.png" alt="ree" />

In 1973<a href="https://x.com/thedarshakrana/status/1955738905510338925" target="_blank"> Ingo Swann</a>, apparently reading a lot of Carlos Casteneda, found he could "exit his own body" and travel around. Presumably he went to Disney World first, but then he "traveled" the globe. He said he "mentally traveled" to Jupiter. When he worked with researchers, they gave him tests of describing various places around the world from a Stanford lab, which he did . . . to great detail. They gave him coordinates in space, and he described intricately Jupiter. Every detail he reported was confirmed by Voyager . . . in 1979. So, of course, the CIA paid him a visit and under code name "STAR GATE" they sent him to remotely spy on Soviet and ChiCom nuke facilities and to "other dimensions." He said these existed right on top of ours. This certainly aligns with the Bible and "portals" such as the one Jacob saw with angels ascending and descending or the story in 2 Kings 6:17 where Elisha's servant was shown a massive angelic army surrounding the enemy besieging the city. What wasn't revealed was if Ingo saw where they put Jimmy Hoffa.</p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_5efc615778624e1ba30a001dcaa3bd45~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_90,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_5efc615778624e1ba30a001dcaa3bd45~mv2.png" alt="ree" />

      <title>Today&apos;s News, August 12-13, 2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Pam Bondi/Tulsi Gabbard continue their presentation of the prosecution case in public by releasing a ton of info implicating Adam Schiffty, the Human Lemur, in flat out treason.<a href="https://x.com/HansMahncke/status/1955082514302742790" target="_blank"> Schiffty's job was to leak classified info.</a> This is according to a <a href="https://justthenews.com/government/congress/exclusive-democrat-whistleblower-told-fbi-schiff-approved-leaking-classified?utm_source=daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter" target="_blank">DemoKKKrat whistle blower</a>. Now Ed Martin has him in his sights for "mortgage fraud," but there may well be far more forthcoming. Martin is a bulldog, unlike the useless "Bull" Durham, who was a cleaner. A whistleblower released this info, showing the Human Lemur <i>personally</i> took the leaker role. His stated goal was to "indict the president." As Jeff Childers <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/connecting-dots-tuesday-august-12?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=170784193&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">continues to argue,</a> Bondi/Gabbard are building up to a "public permission structure" to arrest these gulag-gluggers, and that includes Farticus (Eric Swalwell). However, he first argues that in the wake of Patriot Day, January 6, <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/connecting-dots-tuesday-august-12?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=170784193&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">the highly politicized D.C. police force is about to get a real po-po makeover, </a>and that Pam Bondi, under the invoked authority, can fire and replace anyone she pleases in D.C. Then he drops the MOAB: "what if the Administration is securing DC before it makes a <i>really</i> controversial move? Like arresting someone near the top of the political food chain?" And speaking of chains, <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/yikes-dei-dc-police-chief-doesnt-know-what-term-chain-command-means?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5453" target="_blank">the DEI Washington D.C. police chief </a>did not kow what a "chain of command" is. Fire them all.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Just like that, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/national-guard-troops-arrive-in-washington-after-trump-declares-federal-control-5900538?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-08-13&src_cmp=mb-2025-08-13&utm_medium=email&est=1%2BE75sqht5S5Ntic%2FAKWeQhe%2BT1FlGoW2SCglaA0EAqdzkq%2F7PQD0vpX%2FmR3x%2BzAI4bvppM%3D" target="_blank">National Guard troops began arriving in D.C.</a> Even as DemoKKKrats claim D.C. is the safest place on earth other than Disneyland, <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/08/11/us-news/abc-news-anchor-reveals-she-was-jumped-by-a-half-dressed-homeless-man-in-downtown-dc-co-workers-car-stolen-the-morning-trump-federalized-local-police-were-all-experiencing-it-firsthand/" target="_blank">an ABC reporter</a> Kyra Phillips was jumped by some homeless and <a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/08/new-homeless-person-dc-tries-rob-harmeet-dhillon/" target="_blank">Harmeet Dhillon </a>was accosted---but not by Jim Accosted. Oh, and <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/08/12/man-shot-killed-washington-dc-crime-donald-trump-protesters-national-guard/" target="_blank">just blocks from the D.C. protest against the National Guard presence, a man was shot and killed</a>. Enough. Except not for D.C. <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/08/11/dc-mayor-responds-to-trump-crackdown-by-calling-for-statehood/" target="_blank">Mayor Muriel Bow Wow Bowser, who says the solution isn't police, it is statehood for D.C.</a> Not a chance in hell, there, Pluto. Nevertheless, even <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/08/12/us/trump-news" target="_blank">Bow Wow understands this is a win/win for her. </a>Her crime stats fall, while she gets to criticize the individual making them fall. So she is "cooperating." Now, I don't usually cite<a href="https://x.com/RealAlexJones/status/1955660479730176402" target="_blank"> Alex Jones,</a> but I never knew him to be a Q-tip, so when he reports that insiders are telling him indictments will happen, well . . .</p><p>3) CNN, meanwhile, says the <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/08/13/politics/trump-dc-police-crime-democrats-2028-analysis" target="_blank">DemoKKKrats "fumbled" the response</a>. Er, spoogoids, when your response is fecal matter, you aren't fumbling anything. And, as <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/tectonics-wednesday-august-13-2025?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=170871207&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Jeff Childers points out, this was done in total secrecy </a>with hundreds of people involved and multiple agencies and not a single leak.

He is a massive gift to Rs, in that he is the biggest money burning machine outside of the incinerators the Fed uses to burn up old money.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) DemoKKKrat attempts to<a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/08/12/report-texas-democrat-fugitives-concede-will-return-to-austin/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> block TX redistricting flopped,</a> leaving them spooging around in IL with Porky Pritzker while there was flooding in the Lone Star State.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Pam Bondi/Tulsi Gabbard continue their presentation of the prosecution case in public by releasing a ton of info implicating Adam Schiffty, the Human Lemur, in flat out treason.<a href="https://x.com/HansMahncke/status/1955082514302742790" target="_blank"> Schiffty's job was to leak classified info.</a> This is according to a <a href="https://justthenews.com/government/congress/exclusive-democrat-whistleblower-told-fbi-schiff-approved-leaking-classified?utm_source=daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter" target="_blank">DemoKKKrat whistle blower</a>. Now Ed Martin has him in his sights for "mortgage fraud," but there may well be far more forthcoming. Martin is a bulldog, unlike the useless "Bull" Durham, who was a cleaner. A whistleblower released this info, showing the Human Lemur <i>personally</i> took the leaker role. His stated goal was to "indict the president." As Jeff Childers <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/connecting-dots-tuesday-august-12?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=170784193&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">continues to argue,</a> Bondi/Gabbard are building up to a "public permission structure" to arrest these gulag-gluggers, and that includes Farticus (Eric Swalwell). However, he first argues that in the wake of Patriot Day, January 6, <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/connecting-dots-tuesday-august-12?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=170784193&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">the highly politicized D.C. police force is about to get a real po-po makeover, </a>and that Pam Bondi, under the invoked authority, can fire and replace anyone she pleases in D.C. Then he drops the MOAB: "what if the Administration is securing DC before it makes a <i>really</i> controversial move? Like arresting someone near the top of the political food chain?" And speaking of chains, <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/yikes-dei-dc-police-chief-doesnt-know-what-term-chain-command-means?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5453" target="_blank">the DEI Washington D.C. police chief </a>did not kow what a "chain of command" is.

Oh, and <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/08/12/man-shot-killed-washington-dc-crime-donald-trump-protesters-national-guard/" target="_blank">just blocks from the D.C. protest against the National Guard presence, a man was shot and killed</a>. Enough. Except not for D.C. <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/08/11/dc-mayor-responds-to-trump-crackdown-by-calling-for-statehood/" target="_blank">Mayor Muriel Bow Wow Bowser, who says the solution isn't police, it is statehood for D.C.</a> Not a chance in hell, there, Pluto. Nevertheless, even <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/08/12/us/trump-news" target="_blank">Bow Wow understands this is a win/win for her. </a>Her crime stats fall, while she gets to criticize the individual making them fall. So she is "cooperating." Now, I don't usually cite<a href="https://x.com/RealAlexJones/status/1955660479730176402" target="_blank"> Alex Jones,</a> but I never knew him to be a Q-tip, so when he reports that insiders are telling him indictments will happen, well . . .</p><p>3) CNN, meanwhile, says the <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/08/13/politics/trump-dc-police-crime-democrats-2028-analysis" target="_blank">DemoKKKrats "fumbled" the response</a>. Er, spoogoids, when your response is fecal matter, you aren't fumbling anything.

      <title>Today&apos;s News, August 10-11, 2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) President Trump is <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-proposes-sending-homeless-far-from-the-capital-as-part-of-beautification-push-5899434?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-08-11&src_cmp=mb-2025-08-11&utm_medium=email&est=RUfdRRpDVxC5keeAEhLxM5nI7RfsYWNmopgABiwUQ20otsoRUePF%2Fd2%2Bd0soNVFySqFMrT4%3D" target="_blank">determined to revitalize Washington D.C., including eliminating the crime there and pushing the homeless ou</a>t. Sorta like that old song "Closing Time;" "You don't have to go home but you can't stay here."</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Trump may unveil a plan <a href="https://townhall.com/tipsheet/saraharnold/2025/08/10/trump-appears-to-confirm-2025-timing-for-fannie-freddie-ipo-n2661632" target="_blank">to privatize Fannie Mae and Freddy Mack, </a>making an end run around Poodlesniffer Jerome Powell and his high interest rates.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) I love, love, love this. Just <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2025/08/08/sydney-sweeney-republicans-win-media-ecosystem-00497761?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">another DemoKKKrat whines in <i>Politico</i></a> that DemoKKKrats lost because they have a bad communication network. He uses the example of Sidney Sweeny, missing entirely that the DemoKKKrats are doing just fine at getting their message out. They hate America, they hate beauty, they hate happiness, they hate security. There is no communications network in the world that can sell them. <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5443406-michael-whatley-democrats-rnc-democratic-party/" target="_blank">RNC chair Michael Whatley agrees. </a>They are till running the same old playbook and have learned nothing. <a href="https://www.kunstler.com/p/going-going-gone" target="_blank">James Kunstler has a good anlysis here (that echoes my own) and a quotation from former DemoKKKrat Shasha Stone:</a> "Because they can no longer distinguish between fantasy and reality, they are too crazy to lead the country, and Americans know it." This is exactly right, but I would frame it this way: DemoKKKrats hate you, they hate beauty, they hate God, and they hate America. That is why they will go extinct.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) House Oversight Committee Head J<a href="https://justthenews.com/accountability/political-ethics/house-oversight-wants-gather-evidence-could-overturn-bidens-pardons" target="_blank">ames Comer wants to find sufficient evidence of Rutabaga's mental incompetenc</a>e to overturn some Executive Orders and some pardons. Tulsi Gabbard says that not only have they referred three people for criminal prosecution, and <a href="https://x.com/MrJack6590/status/1954404471959949586" target="_blank">there are 11 other investigations </a>ongoing. <a href="https://x.com/MrJack6590/status/1954404248902611097" target="_blank">She has also developed a "Covid Origins" investigative group.</a>, Oh, and she found $170 million in DEI manure that is being redirected to other programs.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Big, big, big: Tom Fitton's Judicial Watch <a href="https://x.com/TomFitton/status/1954569899411431549" target="_blank">won another suit to continue forcing voter roll purges in various states</a>. This works TOTALLY against DemoKKKrats.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) President Trump is <a href="https://x.com/catturd2/status/1954605973366005833/photo/1" target="_blank">launching a full scale jihad on Washington, D.C., the city, to eliminate violence and to make it more beautiful.</a> He activated the National Guard and federalized the D.C. police force. Good. While you're at it, indict that creep Michael Byrd. Newly discovered evidence shows that he <a href="https://revolver.news/2025/08/newly-released-footage-proves-ashli-babbitt-was-murdered-in-cold-blood/" target="_blank">shot Ashlii Babbitt on Patriot Day, 2021 in cold blood, then radioed "Shots fired."</a> His own. What a scumbag.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) This is really, really good news. <a href="https://grabien.com/file?id=3071386&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Betamale O'Roarke, the human money burning machine, is back in the spotlight. </a>This dimplepincher has lost two races, wasn't even close really, and incinerated millions of dollars on the ridiculously false claim that "Texas can flip blue." Not in this decade, ya skateboarding stool-sipper. But the fact that he is back shows again that the DemoKKKrats not only have no bench, but the guys sitting there are .0000 hitters. And speking of .0000 hitters, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q59HvvgW-Gs&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">MA is threatening to counter TX and redistrict.</a> Terrific. You do know that at present you have NO Republican distticts?

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) President Trump is <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-proposes-sending-homeless-far-from-the-capital-as-part-of-beautification-push-5899434?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-08-11&src_cmp=mb-2025-08-11&utm_medium=email&est=RUfdRRpDVxC5keeAEhLxM5nI7RfsYWNmopgABiwUQ20otsoRUePF%2Fd2%2Bd0soNVFySqFMrT4%3D" target="_blank">determined to revitalize Washington D.C., including eliminating the crime there and pushing the homeless ou</a>t. Sorta like that old song "Closing Time;" "You don't have to go home but you can't stay here."</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Trump may unveil a plan <a href="https://townhall.com/tipsheet/saraharnold/2025/08/10/trump-appears-to-confirm-2025-timing-for-fannie-freddie-ipo-n2661632" target="_blank">to privatize Fannie Mae and Freddy Mack, </a>making an end run around Poodlesniffer Jerome Powell and his high interest rates.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) I love, love, love this. Just <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2025/08/08/sydney-sweeney-republicans-win-media-ecosystem-00497761?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">another DemoKKKrat whines in <i>Politico</i></a> that DemoKKKrats lost because they have a bad communication network. He uses the example of Sidney Sweeny, missing entirely that the DemoKKKrats are doing just fine at getting their message out. They hate America, they hate beauty, they hate happiness, they hate security. There is no communications network in the world that can sell them. <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5443406-michael-whatley-democrats-rnc-democratic-party/" target="_blank">RNC chair Michael Whatley agrees. </a>They are till running the same old playbook and have learned nothing. <a href="https://www.kunstler.com/p/going-going-gone" target="_blank">James Kunstler has a good anlysis here (that echoes my own) and a quotation from former DemoKKKrat Shasha Stone:</a> "Because they can no longer distinguish between fantasy and reality, they are too crazy to lead the country, and Americans know it." This is exactly right, but I would frame it this way: DemoKKKrats hate you, they hate beauty, they hate God, and they hate America. That is why they will go extinct.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) House Oversight Committee Head J<a href="https://justthenews.com/accountability/political-ethics/house-oversight-wants-gather-evidence-could-overturn-bidens-pardons" target="_blank">ames Comer wants to find sufficient evidence of Rutabaga's mental incompetenc</a>e to overturn some Executive Orders and some pardons. Tulsi Gabbard says that not only have they referred three people for criminal prosecution, and <a href="https://x.com/MrJack6590/status/1954404471959949586" target="_blank">there are 11 other investigations </a>ongoing. <a href="https://x.com/MrJack6590/status/1954404248902611097" target="_blank">She has also developed a "Covid Origins" investigative group.</a>, Oh, and she found $170 million in DEI manure that is being redirected to other programs.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Big, big, big: Tom Fitton's Judicial Watch <a href="https://x.com/TomFitton/status/1954569899411431549" target="_blank">won another suit to continue forcing voter roll purges in various states</a>. This works TOTALLY against DemoKKKrats.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) President Trump is <a href="https://x.com/catturd2/status/1954605973366005833/photo/1" target="_blank">launching a full scale jihad on Washington, D.C., the city, to eliminate violence and to make it more beautiful.</a> He activated the National Guard and federalized the D.C. police force. Good. While you're at it, indict that creep Michael Byrd. Newly discovered evidence shows that he <a href="https://revolver.news/2025/08/newly-released-footage-proves-ashli-babbitt-was-murdered-in-cold-blood/" target="_blank">shot Ashlii Babbitt on Patriot Day, 2021 in cold blood, then radioed "Shots fired."</a> His own. What a scumbag.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) This is really, really good news. <a href="https://grabien.com/file?id=3071386&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Betamale O'Roarke, the human money burning machine, is back in the spotlight. </a>This dimplepincher has lost two races, wasn't even close really, and incinerated millions of dollars on the ridiculously false claim that "Texas can flip blue." Not in this decade, ya skateboarding stool-sipper. But the fact that he is back shows again that the DemoKKKrats not only have no bench, but the guys sitting there are .0000 hitters. And speking of .0000 hitters, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q59HvvgW-Gs&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">MA is threatening to counter TX and redistrict.</a> Terrific. You do know that at present you have NO Republican distticts? What are you gonna do, make it easier for a Republican to win a MA seat?</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Newly discovered evidence shows that D.C. cop <a href="https://revolver.news/2025/08/newly-released-footage-proves-ashli-babbitt-was-murdered-in-cold-blood/" target="_blank">Michael Byrd shot Ashli Babbitt on Patriot Day, 2021 in cold blood, then radioed "Shots fired."</a> His own.

      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) BOOM SHAKA LAKA as AG <a href="https://x.com/FoxNews/status/1953846579258859817" target="_blank">Pam Bondi has unleashed the first special prosecutor, Ed Martin (no slouch) on NY AG Letitia James and Shifty the Human Lemur for mortgage fraud.</a>, Meanwhile, someone is afraid of what Ghislaine Maxwell may say, as the <a href="https://www.nysun.com/article/exclusive-feds-deploy-special-operations-and-counterterrorism-teams-to-texas-prison-camp-due-to-death-threats-against-ghislaine-maxwell?newsletter-access&recognized_email=larryschweikart%40gmail.com&utm_source=MG&utm_medium=email-newsletter&utm_campaign=Breaking%20%202025-08-08" target="_blank">Feds have deployed a counter terrorism team </a>to her TX prison due to death threats. Something tells me Maxwell won't "kill herself" like Epstein did. Meanwhile in the "Muh Russia" investigation, <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/smoking-clinton-93801/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">a smoking gun email connects Cankles to the Hoax</a>. And as the info keeps rolling out, now <a href="https://justthenews.com/nation/science/famed-apollo-13-astronaut-jim-lovell-dies-97-years-old" target="_blank">Bill "Barrstool" Barr is tied to Fat Fani Willis</a> and her RICO case against Trump.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) <a href="https://x.com/ProfMJCleveland/status/1953828222233169986" target="_blank">Huge win for Trump in the Judge Boasberger contempt case</a>. So basically Trump wins yet again. Thanks Pam Bondi/Solicitor Gen.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Big story here as the other day when President Trump threatened to take over policing of D.C.---and the Hoax News Media said, "WHY??? CRIME IS DOWN?"---Trump knew this: the <a href="https://x.com/Rightanglenews/status/1953797859058254180" target="_blank">D.C. police commissioner Michael Pulliam and his deputies <i>downgraded</i> felony reports to jimmy the crime stats</a> to show a 26% drop. He has been place on leave.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) President Trump has <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-orders-us-census-overhaul-to-exclude-illegal-immigrants-5898009?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-08-08&src_cmp=mb-2025-08-08&utm_medium=email&est=ILg6JYHZ24L%2B0uBZxcfICqMk2XRUyqLPPTYQUlLsDZFHXqOHTgTkdTLTg2n9i8WXsLWUU9c%3D" target="_blank">ordered a new census to exclude illegals</a>. The Constitution just says a new census must be done "within" ten years, not <i>every</i> 10 years.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) The <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/sen-cornyn-fbi-granted-request-locate-fleeing-texas/story?id=124446304" target="_blank">FBI has agreed to help the state of TX chase down the fleeing DemoKKKrat carpetmonkeys </a>return them to do their jobs.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/08/07/pete-hegseth-us-military-china/" target="_blank">Pete "The Punisher" Hegseth</a> vows that the U.S. military will not be dependent on Chy-na or anyone else.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) The <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/immigration/2025/08/07/tennessee-national-guard-deployed-to-expand-ice-deportations/" target="_blank">TN national guard</a> has been deployed to assist with ICE deportations.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Wow. Two days ago <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/united-airlines-resumes-flights-after-resolving-technical-issue-5897886?autoemail=larry.schweikart%40gmail.com&utm_source=deployer&utm_medium=EmailMk&utm_content=&utm_campaign=new&utm_term=" target="_blank">United Airlines grounded all 1,000 flights</a> due to a technical problem with flight trackers.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) <a href="https://x.com/OpenSourceZone/status/1953155535836250222" target="_blank">Nebraska </a>reports it may also redistrict, adding another potentially red seat.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) Kollyfornia has been undergoing a massive voter roll purge, so far taking 3.1 million voters off the rolls. <a href="https://x.com/Shilohmarx/status/1953107540788777411" target="_blank">Stanislas Co. is now adding to that, removing 46,000 (or roughly 30,000 DemoKKKrats) off the rolls.</a> Meanwhile, Seth Keshel did another voter registration update for battleground states of AZ, IA, NC, NH, FL, and NV. All moved further right since Nov., with Rs in AZ now up 328,000; Rs in NH up now over 10,000. In the three D-advantage states---PA, NC, NV---all have seen the margin close. NC (+175,000 in 2020) not just +17,000; PA at nearly a million D advantag a few years ago, now just 174,000 with a GOP lead in active voters now; and NV, the Nov. D lead has fallen by about 5,000. But the good news in NV is that the D lead in Clark continues to shrink. Oh, and FL? Now R+1.3 million, or a gain of 225,000 (!!) since November and an overall gain of nearly 2 MILLION since 2012..</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) <a href="https://x.com/FFT1776/status/1953520963552727403" target="_blank">Melania Trump got an apology from Ol' Serpent Head James Carville</a> who insinuated she was in the Epstein list of call girls. Good move by the Ragin' Cajun to abort a lawsuit.</p><p><br /> </p><p>12) Seth Keshel argues that a <a href="https://skeshel.substack.com/p/storm-clouds-trumps-mid-decade-census?utm_campaign=email-half-post&r=dx45b&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">new census can be done</a>, and that it will be "ugly." The court battles will require Trump's team to show that the Founders had no intention of letting in armies of aliens from a bordering narco-state to run our elections. He also notes that and census changes must ruthlessly hit red states (such as AZ) that may have had inflated numbers due to illegals instead of just cherry-picking states.</p><p><br /> </p><p>13) <a href="https://x.com/IAPolls2022/status/1953855494868570394" target="_blank">Vivek Ramaswamy leads in the first polling of the OH governor race</a>. It's a D internal poll and there are a lot of undecideds. Very good poll for him.</p><p><br /> </p><p>14) Trump <a href="https://x.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1953895303490175365" target="_blank">fired the IRS commissioner,</a> and replaced him with Scott Bessent. This is a common practice for Trump 2.0, letting those who can, do. Rubio and Ed Martin both have multiple jobs.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) BOOM SHAKA LAKA as AG <a href="https://x.com/FoxNews/status/1953846579258859817" target="_blank">Pam Bondi has unleashed the first special prosecutor, Ed Martin (no slouch) on NY AG Letitia James and Shifty the Human Lemur for mortgage fraud.</a>, Meanwhile, someone is afraid of what Ghislaine Maxwell may say, as the <a href="https://www.nysun.com/article/exclusive-feds-deploy-special-operations-and-counterterrorism-teams-to-texas-prison-camp-due-to-death-threats-against-ghislaine-maxwell?newsletter-access&recognized_email=larryschweikart%40gmail.com&utm_source=MG&utm_medium=email-newsletter&utm_campaign=Breaking%20%202025-08-08" target="_blank">Feds have deployed a counter terrorism team </a>to her TX prison due to death threats. Something tells me Maxwell won't "kill herself" like Epstein did. Meanwhile in the "Muh Russia" investigation, <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/smoking-clinton-93801/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">a smoking gun email connects Cankles to the Hoax</a>. And as the info keeps rolling out, now <a href="https://justthenews.com/nation/science/famed-apollo-13-astronaut-jim-lovell-dies-97-years-old" target="_blank">Bill "Barrstool" Barr is tied to Fat Fani Willis</a> and her RICO case against Trump.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) <a href="https://x.com/ProfMJCleveland/status/1953828222233169986" target="_blank">Huge win for Trump in the Judge Boasberger contempt case</a>. So basically Trump wins yet again. Thanks Pam Bondi/Solicitor Gen.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Big story here as the other day when President Trump threatened to take over policing of D.C.---and the Hoax News Media said, "WHY??? CRIME IS DOWN?"---Trump knew this: the <a href="https://x.com/Rightanglenews/status/1953797859058254180" target="_blank">D.C. police commissioner Michael Pulliam and his deputies <i>downgraded</i> felony reports to jimmy the crime stats</a> to show a 26% drop. He has been place on leave.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) President Trump has <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-orders-us-census-overhaul-to-exclude-illegal-immigrants-5898009?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-08-08&src_cmp=mb-2025-08-08&utm_medium=email&est=ILg6JYHZ24L%2B0uBZxcfICqMk2XRUyqLPPTYQUlLsDZFHXqOHTgTkdTLTg2n9i8WXsLWUU9c%3D" target="_blank">ordered a new census to exclude illegals</a>. The Constitution just says a new census must be done "within" ten years, not <i>every</i> 10 years.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) The <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/sen-cornyn-fbi-granted-request-locate-fleeing-texas/story?id=124446304" target="_blank">FBI has agreed to help the state of TX chase down the fleeing DemoKKKrat carpetmonkeys </a>return them to do their jobs.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/08/07/pete-hegseth-us-military-china/" target="_blank">Pete "The Punisher" Hegseth</a> vows that the U.S. military will not be dependent on Chy-na or anyone else.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) The <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/immigration/2025/08/07/tennessee-national-guard-deployed-to-expand-ice-deportations/" target="_blank">TN national guard</a> has been deployed to assist with ICE deportations.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Wow. Two days ago <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/united-airlines-resumes-flights-after-resolving-technical-issue-5897886?autoemail=larry.schweikart%40gmail.com&utm_source=deployer&utm_medium=EmailMk&utm_content=&utm_campaign=new&utm_term=" target="_blank">United Airlines grounded all 1,000 flights</a> due to a technical problem with flight trackers.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) <a href="https://x.com/OpenSourceZone/status/1953155535836250222" target="_blank">Nebraska </a>reports it may also redistrict, adding another potentially red seat.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) Kollyfornia has been undergoing a massive voter roll purge, so far taking 3.1 million voters off the rolls. <a href="https://x.com/Shilohmarx/status/1953107540788777411" target="_blank">Stanislas Co. is now adding to that, removing 46,000 (or roughly 30,000 DemoKKKrats) off the rolls.</a> Meanwhile, Seth Keshel did another voter registration update for battleground states of AZ, IA, NC, NH, FL, and NV. All moved further right since Nov., with Rs in AZ now up 328,000; Rs in NH up now over 10,000. In the three D-advantage states---PA, NC, NV---all have seen the margin close. NC (+175,000 in 2020) not just +17,000; PA at nearly a million D advantag a few years ago, now just 174,000 with a GOP lead in active voters now; and NV, the Nov. D lead has fallen by about 5,000. But the good news in NV is that the D lead in Clark continues to shrink. Oh, and FL? Now R+1.3 million, or a gain of 225,000 (!!) since November and an overall gain of nearly 2 MILLION since 2012..</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) <a href="https://x.com/FFT1776/status/1953520963552727403" target="_blank">Melania Trump got an apology from Ol' Serpent Head James Carville</a> who insinuated she was in the Epstein list of call girls. Good move by the Ragin' Cajun to abort a lawsuit.</p><p><br /> </p><p>12) Seth Keshel argues that a <a href="https://skeshel.substack.com/p/storm-clouds-trumps-mid-decade-census?utm_campaign=email-half-post&r=dx45b&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">new census can be done</a>, and that it will be "ugly." The court battles will require Trump's team to show that the Founders had no intention of letting in armies of aliens from a bordering narco-state to run our elections. He also notes that and census changes must ruthlessly hit red states (such as AZ) that may have had inflated numbers due to illegals instead of just cherry-picking states.</p><p><br /> </p><p>13) <a href="https://x.com/IAPolls2022/status/1953855494868570394" target="_blank">Vivek Ramaswamy leads in the first polling of the OH governor race</a>. It's a D internal poll and there are a lot of undecideds. Very good poll for him.</p><p><br /> </p><p>14) Trump <a href="https://x.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1953895303490175365" target="_blank">fired the IRS commissioner,</a> and replaced him with Scott Bessent. This is a common practice for Trump 2.0, letting those who can, do. Rubio and Ed Martin both have multiple jobs. You know what they say, "If you need something done, give it to a busy man."</p><p><br /> </p><p>15) After the China Virus exposed Arizona's public schools as cesspools,<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2025/08/05/arizona-public-school-closures-voucher-program/" target="_blank"> now many are closing</a>. And yes, private schools, charter schools, and homeschools are thriving.</p><p><br /> </p><p>16) I think this is what most of us thought would happen in February, but it's certainly happening now.

      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Maybe it's nothing, but the <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2025/08/05/breaking-doj-requests-dni-documents-following-gabbard-criminal-referral-on-russiagate-conspiracy/" target="_blank">DOJ has requested all information from Homeland Security in the "Muh Russia" investigation, indicating they are serious.</a> And Paul Sperry reports that Mulehead, <a href="https://x.com/paulsperry_/status/1952816855640621203" target="_blank">Robert Mueller, is in a dementia facility. So they probably won't get much out of him.</a> And a new leaked doc says <a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/08/leaked-fbi-document-reveals-jeffrey-epstein-was-secret/" target="_blank">Epstein was an FBI informant.</a> President Trump, AG Bondi, just get out of the way cuz this crapstorm is all coming out. Meanwhile, the <a href="https://x.com/RepJamesComer/status/1952729381983408550" target="_blank">House Oversight Committee has issued subpoenas to a number of people,</a> including Bill and Cankles, James "Scrotumtoter" Comey, Bill Barrstool, Eric Holder, and Grand Moff Garland.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) It's not quite a majority yet, <a href="https://x.com/magapolling/status/1952737927299232068" target="_blank">but5 43% think that Cankles paid for the Russia Hoax Steele Dossier</a>. And they would be right, if indirectly. This will be a majority soon, then God help the Hoax News media if it continues to try to act like "nothing to see here."</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) "<a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/patriotism-unity/3489873/are-liberals-helping-political-violence-go-mainstream/?utm_source=deployer&utm_medium=email&utm_content=1754431380&utm_campaign=Restoring-America&utm_term=" target="_blank">Are Liberals Helping Political Violence to go Mainstream?"</a> Why yes. Yes they are, which is why the modern DemoKKKrat Party is a terrorist organization and should be banned.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Texas is going to redistrict. DemoKKKrats are going to lose 4-5 seats. They can't stop it. So they ran out of state to deny a quorum. <a href="https://gov.texas.gov/news/post/governor-abbott-files-lawsuit-seeking-removal-of-texas-democrat-caucus-chair-representative-wu" target="_blank">Governor Abbott used state law now to remove them from office, which will give the GOP their seats anyway.</a> AG Paxton <a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/08/just-texas-attorney-general-ken-paxton-announces-he/" target="_blank">will vacate their seats</a> if they aren't back by Friday. Oh, and it sounds like <a href="https://x.com/MattKleinOnline/status/1952733808383435199" target="_blank">MO is getting ready to redistrict as well</a>, which would add another R seat or two. Gruesome is flapping about in Kollyfornia, but<a href="https://skeshel.substack.com/p/the-california-plan-to-redistrict?utm_campaign=email-half-post&r=dx45b&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> as Seth Keshel shows</a>, a) overcoming the law, while possible, is extremely difficult and there may not be enough time; and b) even if they do get a redistricting started, there are really only four plausible seats, and three of those would endanger D seats in order to redraw. Won't happen. <i>Axios</i>, however, wants you to think there is a "revolt" brewing against GOP redistricting. Nope. There are <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/08/05/trump-johnson-texas-california-new-york-districts" target="_blank">three Republican chiddledippers</a> (including one in Kollyfornia) who are whining because IF Kollyfornia, NY, and IL redistrict, these three could be in trouble---or not.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) The latest registration numbers, this time <a href="https://x.com/magapolling/status/1952741516872741047" target="_blank">from New Hampshire</a>, where Rs have net gained 49,300 since November.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Maybe it's nothing, but the <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2025/08/05/breaking-doj-requests-dni-documents-following-gabbard-criminal-referral-on-russiagate-conspiracy/" target="_blank">DOJ has requested all information from Homeland Security in the "Muh Russia" investigation, indicating they are serious.</a> And Paul Sperry reports that Mulehead, <a href="https://x.com/paulsperry_/status/1952816855640621203" target="_blank">Robert Mueller, is in a dementia facility. So they probably won't get much out of him.</a> And a new leaked doc says <a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/08/leaked-fbi-document-reveals-jeffrey-epstein-was-secret/" target="_blank">Epstein was an FBI informant.</a> President Trump, AG Bondi, just get out of the way cuz this crapstorm is all coming out. Meanwhile, the <a href="https://x.com/RepJamesComer/status/1952729381983408550" target="_blank">House Oversight Committee has issued subpoenas to a number of people,</a> including Bill and Cankles, James "Scrotumtoter" Comey, Bill Barrstool, Eric Holder, and Grand Moff Garland.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) It's not quite a majority yet, <a href="https://x.com/magapolling/status/1952737927299232068" target="_blank">but5 43% think that Cankles paid for the Russia Hoax Steele Dossier</a>. And they would be right, if indirectly. This will be a majority soon, then God help the Hoax News media if it continues to try to act like "nothing to see here."</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) "<a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/patriotism-unity/3489873/are-liberals-helping-political-violence-go-mainstream/?utm_source=deployer&utm_medium=email&utm_content=1754431380&utm_campaign=Restoring-America&utm_term=" target="_blank">Are Liberals Helping Political Violence to go Mainstream?"</a> Why yes. Yes they are, which is why the modern DemoKKKrat Party is a terrorist organization and should be banned.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Texas is going to redistrict. DemoKKKrats are going to lose 4-5 seats. They can't stop it. So they ran out of state to deny a quorum. <a href="https://gov.texas.gov/news/post/governor-abbott-files-lawsuit-seeking-removal-of-texas-democrat-caucus-chair-representative-wu" target="_blank">Governor Abbott used state law now to remove them from office, which will give the GOP their seats anyway.</a> AG Paxton <a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/08/just-texas-attorney-general-ken-paxton-announces-he/" target="_blank">will vacate their seats</a> if they aren't back by Friday. Oh, and it sounds like <a href="https://x.com/MattKleinOnline/status/1952733808383435199" target="_blank">MO is getting ready to redistrict as well</a>, which would add another R seat or two. Gruesome is flapping about in Kollyfornia, but<a href="https://skeshel.substack.com/p/the-california-plan-to-redistrict?utm_campaign=email-half-post&r=dx45b&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> as Seth Keshel shows</a>, a) overcoming the law, while possible, is extremely difficult and there may not be enough time; and b) even if they do get a redistricting started, there are really only four plausible seats, and three of those would endanger D seats in order to redraw. Won't happen. <i>Axios</i>, however, wants you to think there is a "revolt" brewing against GOP redistricting. Nope. There are <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/08/05/trump-johnson-texas-california-new-york-districts" target="_blank">three Republican chiddledippers</a> (including one in Kollyfornia) who are whining because IF Kollyfornia, NY, and IL redistrict, these three could be in trouble---or not.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) The latest registration numbers, this time <a href="https://x.com/magapolling/status/1952741516872741047" target="_blank">from New Hampshire</a>, where Rs have net gained 49,300 since November. Meanwhile, <a href="https://x.com/wiz_political/status/1952406654579802601" target="_blank">PA continues to get redder, with the DemoKKKrat advantage down to just 59,000.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Another court victory as <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1952530128380043629?t=84ejadiRzhzBKtU_lUxpHw&s=03" target="_blank">a federal appeals court overruled an activist judge who had blocked Texas's law requiring ID for mail-in voting.</a> This is the way.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-to-launch-la-2028-summer-olympics-task-force-5896759?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">Trump has formed an LA28 Olympics task force</a> to ensure a great Olympics.

      <itunes:summary>This political roundup blends fact with inflammatory language and conspiracy-driven commentary. Key highlights include the DOJ ramping up the Russia investigation, claims of Mueller&apos;s incapacity, Epstein&apos;s alleged FBI informant status, and ongoing GOP-led redistricting efforts in states like Texas and Missouri. Trump is active with initiatives such as penalizing banks for conservative bias, launching an LA28 Olympics task force, and announcing major Apple investments. Schumer, Schiff, and others face scrutiny, while Democrats reportedly lose ground in voter registration. Culturally, controversial education and trans issues dominate, while economic news notes rising data center construction and trade shifts with China. Internationally, Brazil arrests Bolsonaro, India faces tariffs, and France sees anti-squatter actions. Entertainment and medical updates touch on box office wins and vaccine-related mortality data. The tone is overtly partisan, laced with derogatory language, casting liberal entities and media in a hostile light.</itunes:summary>

      <title>Today&apos;s News, August 2-4, 3035</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Not only have you not heard the end of this story, but it is just beginning. <a href="https://www.racket.news/p/no-doubt-left-russiagate-was-a-cover?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Matt Taibbi notes that the "Muh Russia" hoax was a coverup for Cankles</a>. Yes, but it was also much more. It was a . . . say it with me kids . . . a COUP. And it will be proven as such. There are steps every day. Over the weekend a special counsel was named to look into Count Dooku (Jack Smith) for improper and political prosecutions. This <a href="https://x.com/Rasmussen_Poll/status/1952379064603594871" target="_blank">Rasmussen poll</a> shows 68% want accountability (i.e., arrests).</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/08/02/senate-trump-deal-00490401" target="_blank">Spewmore tried to float this deal to Trump</a>, that they would send through a limited number of nominees if Trump would agree to restoring some of the fraud/waste/abuse/hoax money from places like NPR and PBS. Trump told him to "go to hell." Remember, the phenomenal <i><strong>defunding of DemoKKKrats</strong></i> is likely one outcome they never imagined. It is making them desperate. Team Trump is burying the DemoKKKrats in fundraising, so far <a href="https://americafirstreport.com/new-ai-data-center-in-wyoming-will-use-more-electricity-than-all-humans-in-the-state-combined/" target="_blank">racking up $1.4 billion for the midterms</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>3) A very good judge, Aileen Cannon,<a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/08/02/breaking-judge-cannon-seals-evidence-trump-assassination-case/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank"> has sealed all evidence in the second Trump attempted assassination case</a>. Cannon cited "exceptionally grave damages to U.S. national security." This isn't good at all. It either means major infiltration at our highest levels or the involvement of a major foreign players. . . or both.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/beltway-confidential/3488991/trump-approval-rating-better-than-meets-the-eye/?utm_source=deployer&utm_medium=email&utm_content=1754147722&utm_campaign=Beltway+Confidential&utm_term=" target="_blank">This author</a> argues that Trump's approval rating in reality is at least 3 points higher than most "adults" polls because those polls are polling a lot of illegals. I think Trump's numbers are higher, but only because pollsters (even the good ones) STILL don't know how to poll Trump.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Just like NC, AZ, PA, NJ, and FL, <a href="https://x.com/earlyvotedata/status/1952000814257430681" target="_blank">OK is getting redder. The latest voter registration stats show Rs net gained 2,100 voters last month.</a> Why is this important? It is continued, unbroken movement to the right nationwide in every state we can track. Oh, and TX (and OH) will be redistricting. DemoKKKrat rectalraccoons in the Texas House thought they'd leave to prevent a quorum, but <a href="https://x.com/townhallcom/status/1952202889910161739" target="_blank">TX AG Ken Paxton said they will be, according to legal precedent, be removed as members of the House</a> (lowering the quorum). This is the way.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Grusome <a href="https://middleamericanews.com/news/newsom-plans-november-special-election-to-redraw-californias-congressional-maps/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=aesynd&seyid=" target="_blank">thinks he can do the same thing in Kollyfornia</a>. We'll see. It would have to go to the voters. That is not a slam durnk. At the very least, the GOP could get a favorable court to put a restraining order on it til after the 2026 election.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) GOP adviser <a href="https://x.com/alexcast/status/1951671836711792760?t=ThB9gpypvhvXAm-XEK_gxg&s=03" target="_blank">Alex Castellanos notes that Trump has been so successful it's a problem for the GOP</a>---that they risk the "let's tone it down now" attitude that sank Winston Churchill in 1946. I don't think so. I think a House majority is nearly a lock, especially if OH and TX redistict. Meanwhile, he is right. Trump's success has been spectacular,<a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/washington-secrets/3487586/trump-cuts-killing-federal-regulations-10-1-rate-tops-first-term-4-1/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> killing regulations at at 10:1 rate.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>8) President Trump <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/no-one-can-be-wrong-trump-fires-labor-statistics-boss-after-weak-revised-jobs-data?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5355" target="_blank">fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, who revised her OWN estimates for the last two months down</a>, saying "nobody can be that wrong."</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) <a href="https://x.com/OpenSourceZone/status/1951325720925638658?t=-oB76O2TvcmGVOcczg-xZg&s=03" target="_blank">Republicans just gained 928 new voters in FL last month</a>. Bad, huh? Er, no. DemoKKKrats LOST 10,402, giving Rs a NET gain of over 11,000. Meanwhile the trend continues as<a href="https://x.com/PpollingNumbers/status/1951285196319301675?t=ifycfj7A6jKJkYvs3Yt9Hw&s=03" target="_blank"> in New Jersey, Rs gained 1,600 while DemoKKKrats lost 2,400</a> for a net 4,000 gain for Republicans. The Federalist says that <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2025/08/01/election-integrity-watchdog-new-yorks-voter-rolls-are-a-disaster/" target="_blank">New York's voter rolls are a "disaster."</a> If NY faces a purge like Kollyfornia did, Republicans could gain even more.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) It's not AI, but it is <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/ai/democrats-spark-manufactured-power-crisis-maryland-left-begins-panic?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5362" target="_blank">an energy-related fracture in the Dems.</a> In MD, a power grid crisis has sent prices flying as the state tried to run with goofy, non-energy-producing "green" nonsense and neglected its actual power grid. This will be replayed 100 times. And here is another example of how the DemoKKKrats absolutely lose the AI game; <a href="https://americafirstreport.com/new-ai-data-center-in-wyoming-will-use-more-electricity-than-all-humans-in-the-state-combined/" target="_blank">an AI center in WY uses more power than all the humans in the state combined.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>11) Dan Bongino gave an FBI update in which <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/08/01/dan-bongino-posts-big-update-operation-summer-heat/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">yet another human trafficking ring was broken and people rescued.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>12) I never trusted this guy, even when he supposedly "converted." (Rush Limbaugh didn't either, calling him "Chatsworth Osborne, Jr.". <a href="https://x.com/LauraLoomer/status/1952130521338654832" target="_blank">Now it's revealed that the Tuckster like all liberal journos sat on the Hunter Biteme laptop story.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>13) The Trump Administration <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-admin-cancels-26-million-funding-for-baltimore-dc-maglev-train-project-5895815?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">cancelled $26 million in funding for a MD "maglev" project.</a> The administration also <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/08/01/trump-doj-dei-federal-hiring-carter?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">canceled all DEI mandates for hiring.</a> (This author argues <a href="https://www.cremieux.xyz/p/the-end-of-credentialism?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email#footnote-1-159102969" target="_blank">we have reached the "end of credentialism.")</a> Fine with me, but understand this will add support for IQ and other tests, which are excellent predictors of success and/or intellect and ability to do a job.</p><p><br /> </p><p>14) The Senate <a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/08/senate-confirms-jeanine-pirro-as-u-s-attorney/" target="_blank">confirmed Judge Jeanine Pirro</a> as D.C. judge. Bring in the prisoners! One of the very worst things about Zero is that he never really went away after his presidency.</p><p><br /> </p><p>15) <a href="https://redstate.com/rusty-weiss/2025/08/02/report-bidens-people-prepared-to-unleash-slew-of-palinesque-embarrassing-stories-about-kamala-harris-n2192368" target="_blank">Now Rutabaga is copying him, and is in some kind of tiddlespicket war with Cackles.</a> It's not clear if the Demented Pervert blames her for ousting him, or for losing the election. (HINT: He would have lost worse).</p><p><br /> </p><p>16) David Brooks, the so-called "conservative" on the <i>New York Slimes</i>, who never seems to have a real conservative position on anything, <a href="https://www.twincities.com/2025/08/03/david-brooks-the-crucial-issue-of-the-21st-century/" target="_blank">argues that the "crucial issue" of our time is that the failure of DemoKKKrats' big gubment didn't lead to Reagan-style smaller gubment</a> but a different type of big gubment under Trump. This is so silly you wonder how even the <i>Slimes</i> can let this guy write. Trump is reducing the scope and size of gubment relative to the people in almost every way, from massive DOGE cuts (so far, the fed gubment is down 234,000---did Reagan do that? Nope) to moving the agencies into the heartland to invoking tariffs on foreigners vs. taxes on Americans. People, Brooks complained, don't like "instability." Yeah, duh. They don't like crime-ridden streets filled with homeless insaniacs or drunks or druggies. They don't like illegal criminal aliens swarming, taking jobs.

Meanwhile, the U.S., has 700,000 electricians but has job postings for 18,000 more and 120,000 postings for cooks and is short 400,000 new engineers..

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Not only have you not heard the end of this story, but it is just beginning. <a href="https://www.racket.news/p/no-doubt-left-russiagate-was-a-cover?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Matt Taibbi notes that the "Muh Russia" hoax was a coverup for Cankles</a>. Yes, but it was also much more. It was a . . . say it with me kids . . . a COUP. And it will be proven as such. There are steps every day. Over the weekend a special counsel was named to look into Count Dooku (Jack Smith) for improper and political prosecutions. This <a href="https://x.com/Rasmussen_Poll/status/1952379064603594871" target="_blank">Rasmussen poll</a> shows 68% want accountability (i.e., arrests).</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/08/02/senate-trump-deal-00490401" target="_blank">Spewmore tried to float this deal to Trump</a>, that they would send through a limited number of nominees if Trump would agree to restoring some of the fraud/waste/abuse/hoax money from places like NPR and PBS. Trump told him to "go to hell." Remember, the phenomenal <i><strong>defunding of DemoKKKrats</strong></i> is likely one outcome they never imagined. It is making them desperate. Team Trump is burying the DemoKKKrats in fundraising, so far <a href="https://americafirstreport.com/new-ai-data-center-in-wyoming-will-use-more-electricity-than-all-humans-in-the-state-combined/" target="_blank">racking up $1.4 billion for the midterms</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>3) A very good judge, Aileen Cannon,<a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/08/02/breaking-judge-cannon-seals-evidence-trump-assassination-case/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank"> has sealed all evidence in the second Trump attempted assassination case</a>. Cannon cited "exceptionally grave damages to U.S. national security." This isn't good at all. It either means major infiltration at our highest levels or the involvement of a major foreign players. . . or both.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/beltway-confidential/3488991/trump-approval-rating-better-than-meets-the-eye/?utm_source=deployer&utm_medium=email&utm_content=1754147722&utm_campaign=Beltway+Confidential&utm_term=" target="_blank">This author</a> argues that Trump's approval rating in reality is at least 3 points higher than most "adults" polls because those polls are polling a lot of illegals. I think Trump's numbers are higher, but only because pollsters (even the good ones) STILL don't know how to poll Trump.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Just like NC, AZ, PA, NJ, and FL, <a href="https://x.com/earlyvotedata/status/1952000814257430681" target="_blank">OK is getting redder. The latest voter registration stats show Rs net gained 2,100 voters last month.</a> Why is this important? It is continued, unbroken movement to the right nationwide in every state we can track. Oh, and TX (and OH) will be redistricting. DemoKKKrat rectalraccoons in the Texas House thought they'd leave to prevent a quorum, but <a href="https://x.com/townhallcom/status/1952202889910161739" target="_blank">TX AG Ken Paxton said they will be, according to legal precedent, be removed as members of the House</a> (lowering the quorum). This is the way.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Grusome <a href="https://middleamericanews.com/news/newsom-plans-november-special-election-to-redraw-californias-congressional-maps/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=aesynd&seyid=" target="_blank">thinks he can do the same thing in Kollyfornia</a>. We'll see. It would have to go to the voters. That is not a slam durnk. At the very least, the GOP could get a favorable court to put a restraining order on it til after the 2026 election.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) GOP adviser <a href="https://x.com/alexcast/status/1951671836711792760?t=ThB9gpypvhvXAm-XEK_gxg&s=03" target="_blank">Alex Castellanos notes that Trump has been so successful it's a problem for the GOP</a>---that they risk the "let's tone it down now" attitude that sank Winston Churchill in 1946. I don't think so. I think a House majority is nearly a lock, especially if OH and TX redistict. Meanwhile, he is right. Trump's success has been spectacular,<a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/washington-secrets/3487586/trump-cuts-killing-federal-regulations-10-1-rate-tops-first-term-4-1/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> killing regulations at at 10:1 rate.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>8) President Trump <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/no-one-can-be-wrong-trump-fires-labor-statistics-boss-after-weak-revised-jobs-data?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5355" target="_blank">fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, who revised her OWN estimates for the last two months down</a>, saying "nobody can be that wrong."</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) <a href="https://x.com/OpenSourceZone/status/1951325720925638658?t=-oB76O2TvcmGVOcczg-xZg&s=03" target="_blank">Republicans just gained 928 new voters in FL last month</a>. Bad, huh? Er, no. DemoKKKrats LOST 10,402, giving Rs a NET gain of over 11,000. Meanwhile the trend continues as<a href="https://x.com/PpollingNumbers/status/1951285196319301675?t=ifycfj7A6jKJkYvs3Yt9Hw&s=03" target="_blank"> in New Jersey, Rs gained 1,600 while DemoKKKrats lost 2,400</a> for a net 4,000 gain for Republicans. The Federalist says that <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2025/08/01/election-integrity-watchdog-new-yorks-voter-rolls-are-a-disaster/" target="_blank">New York's voter rolls are a "disaster."</a> If NY faces a purge like Kollyfornia did, Republicans could gain even more.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) It's not AI, but it is <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/ai/democrats-spark-manufactured-power-crisis-maryland-left-begins-panic?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5362" target="_blank">an energy-related fracture in the Dems.</a> In MD, a power grid crisis has sent prices flying as the state tried to run with goofy, non-energy-producing "green" nonsense and neglected its actual power grid. This will be replayed 100 times.

This is so silly you wonder how even the <i>Slimes</i> can let this guy write. Trump is reducing the scope and size of gubment relative to the people in almost every way, from massive DOGE cuts (so far, the fed gubment is down 234,000---did Reagan do that? Nope) to moving the agencies into the heartland to invoking tariffs on foreigners vs. taxes on Americans. People, Brooks complained, don't like "instability." Yeah, duh. They don't like crime-ridden streets filled with homeless insaniacs or drunks or druggies. They don't like illegal criminal aliens swarming, taking jobs. And they certainly don't want "instability" when it comes to who is a man and who is a woman.

      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) The Russia Hoax docs continue to drop as Tulsi Gabbard tries the case in public. First she showed Zero was implicitly tied into this conspiracy. Now the newest document drop from Kash Patel shows that <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/hillary-approved-93609/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">Cankles specifically gave approval to "Crossfire Hurricane."</a> Speculation is that the next drop will tie it all up on a bow by implicating Rutabaga. Meanwhile, <a href="https://ijr.com/daily-beast-forced-to-retract-false-story-on-melania-trump-epstein/?utm_source=PTN" target="_blank">the <i>Daily Beast</i> came within a whisker of being the next giant contributor to the Trump Presidential Library </a>when it retracted a story saying Melania met The Donald through Epstein.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) New Mexico is a small state. <a href="https://x.com/earlyvotedata/status/1951009238937117082" target="_blank">That is why a shift of even 600 net to Rs is pretty important</a>. Moreover, it continues the nationwide, universal shift to the GOP. Then when you <a href="https://x.com/ChristianHeiens/status/1950645127053180950" target="_blank">look at the Pew numbers for both 18-29 men and women?</a> Wow.

Authorities say it was apparently a "personal matter" and had nothing to do with policy.

In part he blames unions. Maybe, a little. but most of all, <i>no one is in charge</i>. Cities have farmed work out to private contractors, which should be good. But it all falls apart when no one is in charge, when no one has a stake in actually supervising to ensure good and <i>fast</i> work. Let me give a personal example of two cities, Phoenix and Dayton, OH. When I arrived in Dayton in 1985, there was major road construction on the &quot;S&quot; curve around the city on I-75. Generally speaking, my wife and I would go to Arizona in the summer (crazy, I know) and spend time by the pool or in shopping malls. But we noticed that every year there was a BIG new freeway going up, and by the next year, we'd arrive to find it completed. At least THREE such major freeways were built since 1985. In contrast, it wasn't until 2016 when I left Dayton 31 years later, that the &quot;S&quot; curve was finally finished. So, what gives? Federal money? (All were interstates/federal highways in both states). Unions? All I know is that a sunbelt state that didn't have all the old-fashioned regs and unions build three entire freeways when OH couldn't fix one small section of road. Then, right on cue, in Cincinnati, OH, white concertgoers were badly beaten by thugs.

In part he blames unions. Maybe, a little. but most of all, <i>no one is in charge</i>. Cities have farmed work out to private contractors, which should be good. But it all falls apart when no one is in charge, when no one has a stake in actually supervising to ensure good and <i>fast</i> work. Let me give a personal example of two cities, Phoenix and Dayton, OH. When I arrived in Dayton in 1985, there was major road construction on the &quot;S&quot; curve around the city on I-75. Generally speaking, my wife and I would go to Arizona in the summer (crazy, I know) and spend time by the pool or in shopping malls. But we noticed that every year there was a BIG new freeway going up, and by the next year, we'd arrive to find it completed. At least THREE such major freeways were built since 1985. In contrast, it wasn't until 2016 when I left Dayton 31 years later, that the &quot;S&quot; curve was finally finished. So, what gives? Federal money? (All were interstates/federal highways in both states). Unions? All I know is that a sunbelt state that didn't have all the old-fashioned regs and unions build three entire freeways when OH couldn't fix one small section of road. Then, right on cue, in Cincinnati, OH, white concertgoers were badly beaten by thugs.

Many full songs, including full concert versions, are included. The only absence is a single song with him and Elton John, where I'm guessing Elton's publishing company wouldn't sell any of the licenses. A must see if you like music.

      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) The Tulsi Gabbard fallout continues, as <a href="https://justthenews.com/government/federal-agencies/dems-combat-gabbard-declass-pointing-senate-report-which-wrongly?utm_source=daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter" target="_blank">DemoKKKrats squeal about a flawed Senate Intel report that said the Steele Dossier was not used in the key intel </a>briefing that was changed to use against Trump. In fact, the Dossier was in fact in fact used. Meanwhile, like the Allies in WW II advancing on all fronts, the DOJ got a <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/25/us/politics/ghislaine-maxwell-trump-pardon.html?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">high-level interviewer to interview Ghislaine Maxwell in jail</a>. She "named names," apparently over 100. No one had <i>ever</i> interviewed her before! More important, as lawyer Jeff Childers points out, the DOJ needs about 4 days prep for such a witness, <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/beginnings-saturday-july-26-2025?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=169303075&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">so they started well in advance.</a> And, as Jeff points out, it's funny to watch the <i>NYSlimes</i> have to begin walking back years of stories, noting that the new evidence is "messy" and "complicated." No, it's straighforward and clear. YOU, <i>NYSlimes</i>, were a mouthpuppet for a criminal coup against the United States gubment. YOU should be in jail too. And it is perfectly within the authority of the DOJ to empanel a new grand jury, if one has not already been empaneled. <a href="https://shipwreckedcrew.substack.com/p/indicting-barack-it-can-be-done-and?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=284783&post_id=169389101&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Shipwreckedcrew</a> argues that Zero can be indicted if he was involved in any post 2017 coverup. <a href="https://x.com/jackunheard/status/1949529453719421040?t=cwCKJRwe3vLqtWwG9hA5mQ&s=03" target="_blank">Current CIA Director John Ratcliffe</a> says that Jim (Scrotumtoter) Comey, John (Brennanski) Brennan, and Cankles could soon be indicted over Muh Russia.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) And since we're talking Epstein's list, which hasn't been released yet, just another little coincidence that the <a href="https://x.com/libsoftiktok/status/1948473876054507991" target="_blank">FBI broke a "Dark Web" kiddie porn business, arresting 19.</a> By my count, this is somewhere around 13-14 MAJOR human trafficking busts since Bondi took over DOJ.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) The <i>Wall Street Urinal</i>,<a href="https://protrumpnews.com/democrat-favorability-hits-lowest-since-1990-dont-have-the-credibility-to-be-a-critic-of-trump/" target="_blank"> which has become completely unreliable with its tariff position, nevertheless has a poll out showing Rs are -17 in popularity, but DemoKKKrats as -30.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>4) The Great Steal of 2020, Epstein, the Russia Hoax, the protection of Big Pharma, and the breaking of the DemoKKKrat Party <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/lefties-illegals-minorities-are-finally-experiencing-consequence-culture?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5300" target="_blank">which has brought us to a new "consequence culture."</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Republicans continue to gain voter registration ground, this time in<a href="https://x.com/Five_Starrr/status/1949528238830583874?t=cNeEVPa0nS74ZRpkkxv77Q&s=03" target="_blank"> NC, where the margin was 175,000 in 2020 and now is a D lead of only 18,000.

Meanwhile, <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/07/26/dem-redistricting-00478136" target="_blank">DemoKKKrats are now frantic to get some additional seats via a hurry up redistricting </a>in Kollyfornia and NY. The problem is, if anyone gets redistricted, it's likely TX, OH, and FL, which would bring the GOP at least a dozen more seats.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Ryan Burge confirms that the <a href="https://www.graphsaboutreligion.com/p/2024-election-post-mortem-muslims?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1561197&post_id=161799765&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Muslim vote shifted significantly (by 22 points) toward Republicans in 2024</a>, and that the weekly mosque attenders vote Republican now at a 42% clip.

Suck it, Hans.</p><p>COMMENT: Understanding the history of what happened here is important. After WW II, the U.S> subsidized Europe via the Marshall Plan, which transferred billions (much of it to Mediocre Britain). Yes, it stabilized Euro economies and governments so they did not go commie. And yes, Americans specifically (i.e., certain businesses) got more than paid back through purchases made with Marshall Plan $ (but taxpayers on the whole got hosed) The Euros squandered that, after 1960 dedicating most of their resources not to infrastructure or competitiveness, but to social welfare networks. After Ronald Reagan pulled the life-support plug on communism in Russia and Eastern Europe, allowing the Euros to save even more money, they wallowed in Green and squandered that. All of that was occurring while they were TAXING Americans via tariffs and trade policy.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) The Tulsi Gabbard fallout continues, as <a href="https://justthenews.com/government/federal-agencies/dems-combat-gabbard-declass-pointing-senate-report-which-wrongly?utm_source=daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter" target="_blank">DemoKKKrats squeal about a flawed Senate Intel report that said the Steele Dossier was not used in the key intel </a>briefing that was changed to use against Trump. In fact, the Dossier was in fact in fact used. Meanwhile, like the Allies in WW II advancing on all fronts, the DOJ got a <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/25/us/politics/ghislaine-maxwell-trump-pardon.html?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">high-level interviewer to interview Ghislaine Maxwell in jail</a>. She "named names," apparently over 100. No one had <i>ever</i> interviewed her before! More important, as lawyer Jeff Childers points out, the DOJ needs about 4 days prep for such a witness, <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/beginnings-saturday-july-26-2025?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=169303075&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">so they started well in advance.</a> And, as Jeff points out, it's funny to watch the <i>NYSlimes</i> have to begin walking back years of stories, noting that the new evidence is "messy" and "complicated." No, it's straighforward and clear. YOU, <i>NYSlimes</i>, were a mouthpuppet for a criminal coup against the United States gubment. YOU should be in jail too. And it is perfectly within the authority of the DOJ to empanel a new grand jury, if one has not already been empaneled. <a href="https://shipwreckedcrew.substack.com/p/indicting-barack-it-can-be-done-and?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=284783&post_id=169389101&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Shipwreckedcrew</a> argues that Zero can be indicted if he was involved in any post 2017 coverup. <a href="https://x.com/jackunheard/status/1949529453719421040?t=cwCKJRwe3vLqtWwG9hA5mQ&s=03" target="_blank">Current CIA Director John Ratcliffe</a> says that Jim (Scrotumtoter) Comey, John (Brennanski) Brennan, and Cankles could soon be indicted over Muh Russia.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) And since we're talking Epstein's list, which hasn't been released yet, just another little coincidence that the <a href="https://x.com/libsoftiktok/status/1948473876054507991" target="_blank">FBI broke a "Dark Web" kiddie porn business, arresting 19.</a> By my count, this is somewhere around 13-14 MAJOR human trafficking busts since Bondi took over DOJ.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) The <i>Wall Street Urinal</i>,<a href="https://protrumpnews.com/democrat-favorability-hits-lowest-since-1990-dont-have-the-credibility-to-be-a-critic-of-trump/" target="_blank"> which has become completely unreliable with its tariff position, nevertheless has a poll out showing Rs are -17 in popularity, but DemoKKKrats as -30.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>4) The Great Steal of 2020, Epstein, the Russia Hoax, the protection of Big Pharma, and the breaking of the DemoKKKrat Party <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/lefties-illegals-minorities-are-finally-experiencing-consequence-culture?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5300" target="_blank">which has brought us to a new "consequence culture."</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Republicans continue to gain voter registration ground, this time in<a href="https://x.com/Five_Starrr/status/1949528238830583874?t=cNeEVPa0nS74ZRpkkxv77Q&s=03" target="_blank"> NC, where the margin was 175,000 in 2020 and now is a D lead of only 18,000.

Suck it, Hans.</p><p>COMMENT: Understanding the history of what happened here is important. After WW II, the U.S> subsidized Europe via the Marshall Plan, which transferred billions (much of it to Mediocre Britain). Yes, it stabilized Euro economies and governments so they did not go commie. And yes, Americans specifically (i.e., certain businesses) got more than paid back through purchases made with Marshall Plan $ (but taxpayers on the whole got hosed) The Euros squandered that, after 1960 dedicating most of their resources not to infrastructure or competitiveness, but to social welfare networks. After Ronald Reagan pulled the life-support plug on communism in Russia and Eastern Europe, allowing the Euros to save even more money, they wallowed in Green and squandered that. All of that was occurring while they were TAXING Americans via tariffs and trade policy. In short, the U.S. has been giving annual bags of money to the Euros to destroy themselves.</p><p><br /> </p><p>19) The markets liked the tariffs as the <a href="https://x.com/C_3C_3/status/1949865901248913739/photo/1" target="_blank">Dow Jones hit an all-time high</a>.</p><p><br /> </p><p>20) <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/retailers-accused-racism-they-flee-black-neighborhoods-milwaukee?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5307" target="_blank">Retailers are fleeing urban areas due to crime</a>.

      <title>Today&apos;s News, July 24-25, 2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) In the ongoing avalanche of documents showing that both Zero and Rutabaga were engaged in the most reprehensible attempt at a coup, the House committee investigating this concluded that <i>all</i> the "Muh Russia" came <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/scant-evidence-putin-backed-trump-in-2016-election-declassified-report-5891495?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-07-24&src_cmp=mb-2025-07-24&utm_medium=email&est=OBB8oL7Euw7gxrQWv2AHImMG%2F%2B%2BxD6EQsCod0rwjwuh0JSVwZjr79StPSlxjkg9ZT8I0JL0%3D" target="_blank">from a "scant, unclear, and unverifiable fragment of a sentence from one of the substandard reports."</a> Tulsi Gabbard clearly has more drops planned, is trying the case in public, and making it hard for the Deep State to come to any conclusion other than the fact that the Obama administration led a coup. Once again, I have Zen Master who claims no Obama arrest will ever happen. But then I have Jeff Childers whose analysis makes sense. The <i>only reason</i> for laying out this much evidence in public is <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/unhappy-campers-friday-july-25-2025?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=169227783&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">"it is to pave a political path to an ultimate arrest."</a> She cannot arrest Zero herself, but she is paving a path for DOJ to do so by preparing the battlefield with an evidentiary artillery barrage. Childers claims that the torrent of info Tulsi will release will make it nearly impossible <i>not</i> to act, and that Tulsi will have prepared the American public for the arrest.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) A <a href="https://centerforpolitics.org/crystalball/as-redistricting-war-looms-republicans-have-more-plausible-opportunities-than-democrats/" target="_blank">national redistricting battle looms with Texas leading the way</a>. Perpetually-wrong Larry Sabato says Rs have an edge.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) <a href="https://apnews.com/article/mike-lindell-appeals-court-election-dispute-f70c71cc6d7f37b26066941078faf8fc?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Mike Lindell won a legal victory</a> when a court voided a $5 million judgment against him. The <a href="https://x.com/EdWhelanEPPC/status/1948419460450124194" target="_blank">American people won two legal victories</a> when a Ninth Circuit panel said that requiring separate "ammunition checks" was a violation of the Second Amendment and in Oregon a federal Ninth Circuit panel said that requiring adopted parents to "support" a kid's "sexual orientation violates the First Amendment.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Kollyfornia, so far, <a href="https://x.com/Shilohmarx/status/1948156576864555393" target="_blank">has removed over 3.1 million ineligible voters from its rolls. </a>Figuring that at least 60% of these were DemoKKKrats (vs., say, ony 700,000 Rs), the Kollyfornia GOP just gained more than 1 million net voters on DemoKKKrats there. It's not clear yet if both New Azteca (LA) and Orange Co. have come in.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) There is a <a href="https://x.com/wiz_political/status/1948429961129590879" target="_blank">big opportunity for Rs in WI, where incumbent gov. Tony Evers won't run for reelection.</a> His fundraising was lagging. Gee, that doesn't sound like a blue wave to me.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Very scary: <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/china/single-us-water-utility-receives-6-million-china-based-connection-attempts-in-1-week-security-report-5891671?utm_source=China&src_src=China&utm_campaign=uschina-2025-07-25&src_cmp=uschina-2025-07-25&utm_medium=email&est=HFP56zxLEJBLjHeVnf6vyOZmvlz%2F3GjUohpaReudeOtk%2FTePTEWZljrWBQOGau62RhrLBfpp" target="_blank">a Kollyfornia water utility had six million hits on its website</a>, with most IP addresses in Chy-na, as they obviously are scanning our infrastructure for weaknesses.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) President Trump announced major changes and <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-admin-overhauls-usda-slashing-washington-staff-by-over-50-percent-5892142?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-07-25&src_cmp=mb-2025-07-25&utm_medium=email&est=oo4ziN%2B%2BlM5iBuRqwDlHDkz4BrwHWpH%2BKjCeb38Ny2YHI1xdfIqczp%2F1A6NuvYbbr9etflA%3D" target="_blank">shrinkage to the U.S. Department of Ag</a>, and will not only reduce the workforce by 50% but will send agencies to the hinterland to interact with the peeps.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) While DemoKKKrats and libs are still whining about stuff Trump did five months ago, he keeps moving, always on offense, announcing a new<a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/07/ending-crime-and-disorder-on-americas-streets/" target="_blank"> plan to end crime and disorder on American streets.</a> It directs federal money only to those states that are handing out free syringes and other such nonsense. Among the points in the plan, there would be carrots/sticks for enforcing homelessness/urban squatting penalties, bringing back standards to commit nutcases and get them off the streets (easily 1/3 of all homeless), emphasize treatment rather than "safe injection," and continue to track sex offenders pretending to be homeless. Beautiful. This is a direct threat to the homeless/industrial complex---the former USAID and other NGO/gubment infrastructure that only works if there are a lot of homeless. By the way, this opens up another potential DemoKKKrat Civil War in that now DemoKKKrats will have to choose either siding with the homeless-industrial complex or with the "abundance economy/good management" types.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) Ghislaine Maxwell is<a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/07/24/update-deputy-ag-todd-blanche-meet-ghislaine-maxwell/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank"> meeting a second time with fed prosecutors.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>10) Benghazi-by-the-Lake Mayor "Let's Go Brandon" Johnson said he will use <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2k-0o9XJbU" target="_blank">"progressive" revenue to pay the city's bills.</a> Riiiiiight. Benghazi-by-the-Lake is bankrupt in all but name, with a $37 billion unfunded pension looming.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>11) A new report shows that<a href="https://istandforfreedom.com/migrants-cost-americans-economy/?utm_source=actengage&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> illegals are costing the US </a>over $200 billion per year.</p><p><br /> </p><p>12) The DOJ is <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/doj-sues-new-york-city-sanctuary-immigration-policies/story?id=124048815" target="_blank">suing New Kabul, er, NYC, for its "sanctuary city" policies.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>13) First it was revealed that the Rutabaga administration <a href="https://americafirstreport.com/dhs-233000-unaccompanied-children-lost-under-biden/" target="_blank">lost over 220,000 illegal criminal alien children</a>, and now <a href="https://americafirstreport.com/trump-admin-locates-13000-unaccompanied-minors-arrests-hundreds-of-sponsors/" target="_blank">Trump says they have rescued 13,000</a>. But no one yet really knows what to do with them unless they agree to self-deport.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>14) Bad news for colleges, as a survey of religious Americans show that<a href="https://www.graphsaboutreligion.com/p/higher-education-on-trial-religion?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1561197&post_id=166838627&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> only 43% think college is a good investment, while only 38% of non-evangelical Protestants think so</a>. Interestingly, the "nones" have the lowest faith in a college education, at only 36%. Oh, and included is this story from <a href="https://www.npr.org/2025/01/08/nx-s1-5246200/demographic-cliff-fewer-college-students-mean-fewer-graduates?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">January, where college enrollments are about to fall off a cliff.</a> The group most likely to attend religious services every week are those with advanced degrees---kind of a counter-intuitive finding but one that makes more sense when you understand that "all religions" includes Muslims and Hindus who come here for engineering, scientific, and medical training. Meanwhile, <a href="https://www.thefp.com/p/behind-the-221-million-columbia-antisemitism?utm_campaign=260347&utm_source=cross-post&r=dx45b&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">in the $221 million payout by Columbia to make DOJ charges go away,</a> Jewish students, faculty, and even a couple of janitors held hostage by the nutcase Hamas Murder Pirate picklebenders will get settlements.</p><p><br /> </p><p>15) The Supes <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2025/07/23/scotus-hands-trump-win-in-consumer-product-safety-commission-case/" target="_blank">gave Trump a win in a Consumer Product Safety Case</a>. Chip, chip, chippin' away.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) In the ongoing avalanche of documents showing that both Zero and Rutabaga were engaged in the most reprehensible attempt at a coup, the House committee investigating this concluded that <i>all</i> the "Muh Russia" came <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/scant-evidence-putin-backed-trump-in-2016-election-declassified-report-5891495?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-07-24&src_cmp=mb-2025-07-24&utm_medium=email&est=OBB8oL7Euw7gxrQWv2AHImMG%2F%2B%2BxD6EQsCod0rwjwuh0JSVwZjr79StPSlxjkg9ZT8I0JL0%3D" target="_blank">from a "scant, unclear, and unverifiable fragment of a sentence from one of the substandard reports."</a> Tulsi Gabbard clearly has more drops planned, is trying the case in public, and making it hard for the Deep State to come to any conclusion other than the fact that the Obama administration led a coup. Once again, I have Zen Master who claims no Obama arrest will ever happen. But then I have Jeff Childers whose analysis makes sense. The <i>only reason</i> for laying out this much evidence in public is <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/unhappy-campers-friday-july-25-2025?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=169227783&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">"it is to pave a political path to an ultimate arrest."</a> She cannot arrest Zero herself, but she is paving a path for DOJ to do so by preparing the battlefield with an evidentiary artillery barrage. Childers claims that the torrent of info Tulsi will release will make it nearly impossible <i>not</i> to act, and that Tulsi will have prepared the American public for the arrest.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) A <a href="https://centerforpolitics.org/crystalball/as-redistricting-war-looms-republicans-have-more-plausible-opportunities-than-democrats/" target="_blank">national redistricting battle looms with Texas leading the way</a>. Perpetually-wrong Larry Sabato says Rs have an edge.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) <a href="https://apnews.com/article/mike-lindell-appeals-court-election-dispute-f70c71cc6d7f37b26066941078faf8fc?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Mike Lindell won a legal victory</a> when a court voided a $5 million judgment against him. The <a href="https://x.com/EdWhelanEPPC/status/1948419460450124194" target="_blank">American people won two legal victories</a> when a Ninth Circuit panel said that requiring separate "ammunition checks" was a violation of the Second Amendment and in Oregon a federal Ninth Circuit panel said that requiring adopted parents to "support" a kid's "sexual orientation violates the First Amendment.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Kollyfornia, so far, <a href="https://x.com/Shilohmarx/status/1948156576864555393" target="_blank">has removed over 3.1 million ineligible voters from its rolls. </a>Figuring that at least 60% of these were DemoKKKrats (vs., say, ony 700,000 Rs), the Kollyfornia GOP just gained more than 1 million net voters on DemoKKKrats there. It's not clear yet if both New Azteca (LA) and Orange Co. have come in.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) There is a <a href="https://x.com/wiz_political/status/1948429961129590879" target="_blank">big opportunity for Rs in WI, where incumbent gov. Tony Evers won't run for reelection.</a> His fundraising was lagging. Gee, that doesn't sound like a blue wave to me.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Very scary: <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/china/single-us-water-utility-receives-6-million-china-based-connection-attempts-in-1-week-security-report-5891671?utm_source=China&src_src=China&utm_campaign=uschina-2025-07-25&src_cmp=uschina-2025-07-25&utm_medium=email&est=HFP56zxLEJBLjHeVnf6vyOZmvlz%2F3GjUohpaReudeOtk%2FTePTEWZljrWBQOGau62RhrLBfpp" target="_blank">a Kollyfornia water utility had six million hits on its website</a>, with most IP addresses in Chy-na, as they obviously are scanning our infrastructure for weaknesses.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) President Trump announced major changes and <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-admin-overhauls-usda-slashing-washington-staff-by-over-50-percent-5892142?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-07-25&src_cmp=mb-2025-07-25&utm_medium=email&est=oo4ziN%2B%2BlM5iBuRqwDlHDkz4BrwHWpH%2BKjCeb38Ny2YHI1xdfIqczp%2F1A6NuvYbbr9etflA%3D" target="_blank">shrinkage to the U.S. Department of Ag</a>, and will not only reduce the workforce by 50% but will send agencies to the hinterland to interact with the peeps.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) While DemoKKKrats and libs are still whining about stuff Trump did five months ago, he keeps moving, always on offense, announcing a new<a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/07/ending-crime-and-disorder-on-americas-streets/" target="_blank"> plan to end crime and disorder on American streets.</a> It directs federal money only to those states that are handing out free syringes and other such nonsense. Among the points in the plan, there would be carrots/sticks for enforcing homelessness/urban squatting penalties, bringing back standards to commit nutcases and get them off the streets (easily 1/3 of all homeless), emphasize treatment rather than "safe injection," and continue to track sex offenders pretending to be homeless. Beautiful. This is a direct threat to the homeless/industrial complex---the former USAID and other NGO/gubment infrastructure that only works if there are a lot of homeless. By the way, this opens up another potential DemoKKKrat Civil War in that now DemoKKKrats will have to choose either siding with the homeless-industrial complex or with the "abundance economy/good management" types.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) Ghislaine Maxwell is<a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/07/24/update-deputy-ag-todd-blanche-meet-ghislaine-maxwell/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank"> meeting a second time with fed prosecutors.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>10) Benghazi-by-the-Lake Mayor "Let's Go Brandon" Johnson said he will use <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2k-0o9XJbU" target="_blank">"progressive" revenue to pay the city's bills.</a> Riiiiiight. Benghazi-by-the-Lake is bankrupt in all but name, with a $37 billion unfunded pension looming.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>11) A new report shows that<a href="https://istandforfreedom.com/migrants-cost-americans-economy/?utm_source=actengage&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> illegals are costing the US </a>over $200 billion per year.</p><p><br /> </p><p>12) The DOJ is <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/doj-sues-new-york-city-sanctuary-immigration-policies/story?id=124048815" target="_blank">suing New Kabul, er, NYC, for its "sanctuary city" policies.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>13) First it was revealed that the Rutabaga administration <a href="https://americafirstreport.com/dhs-233000-unaccompanied-children-lost-under-biden/" target="_blank">lost over 220,000 illegal criminal alien children</a>, and now <a href="https://americafirstreport.com/trump-admin-locates-13000-unaccompanied-minors-arrests-hundreds-of-sponsors/" target="_blank">Trump says they have rescued 13,000</a>. But no one yet really knows what to do with them unless they agree to self-deport.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>14) Bad news for colleges, as a survey of religious Americans show that<a href="https://www.graphsaboutreligion.com/p/higher-education-on-trial-religion?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1561197&post_id=166838627&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> only 43% think college is a good investment, while only 38% of non-evangelical Protestants think so</a>. Interestingly, the "nones" have the lowest faith in a college education, at only 36%. Oh, and included is this story from <a href="https://www.npr.org/2025/01/08/nx-s1-5246200/demographic-cliff-fewer-college-students-mean-fewer-graduates?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">January, where college enrollments are about to fall off a cliff.</a> The group most likely to attend religious services every week are those with advanced degrees---kind of a counter-intuitive finding but one that makes more sense when you understand that "all religions" includes Muslims and Hindus who come here for engineering, scientific, and medical training. Meanwhile, <a href="https://www.thefp.com/p/behind-the-221-million-columbia-antisemitism?utm_campaign=260347&utm_source=cross-post&r=dx45b&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">in the $221 million payout by Columbia to make DOJ charges go away,</a> Jewish students, faculty, and even a couple of janitors held hostage by the nutcase Hamas Murder Pirate picklebenders will get settlements.</p><p><br /> </p><p>15) The Supes <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2025/07/23/scotus-hands-trump-win-in-consumer-product-safety-commission-case/" target="_blank">gave Trump a win in a Consumer Product Safety Case</a>. Chip, chip, chippin' away. Dang, ACB votes right yet again.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN TRANSOID NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>16) <a href="https://faithfulinaction.org/ny-pays-225k-to-end-legal-battle-with-christian-photographer-over-same-sex-weddings/?seyid=" target="_blank">New York will pay $225,000 to end a legal battle with a photographer</a> over same sex marriage photos.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ECONOMIC NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>17) Every member of Trump's admin, save Brook Rollins, is a killer. <a href="https://blackmon.substack.com/p/zeldin-ready-to-go-after-obama-epa?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=712558&post_id=169076130&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Lee Zeldin at EPA is preparing to go after Obama's "endangerment" ruling at EPA. </a>You know, the one that said CO2 "endangers public health?"</p><p><br /> </p><p>18) Good. <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/406bc127-e1c3-41d5-9e68-b8921856c3c7?utm_source=chatgpt.com&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">President Trump has blocked AI groups with an "ideological bias"</a> from gubment work.</p><p><br /> </p><p>19) We need to institute a Paul ("the Ferret") Krugman and Jim ("Nose Candy") Cramer award for the most consistently wrong economic analysis.

      <itunes:summary>Tulsi Gabbard’s document releases are painting a clearer picture of a potential Obama-era coup attempt, with increasing pressure for legal action. Trump gains momentum with legal wins, deep state rollbacks, and plans to dismantle bloated federal agencies. Redistricting and voter roll purges favor Republicans, while the economic outlook strengthens with lower jobless claims and rising gas industry performance. California faces cyber threats from China, and sanctuary city policies are under federal attack. Culturally, confidence in college is plummeting, DEI failures are becoming costly, and a federal court ruled in favor of religious liberty and free speech. Internationally, U.S. strikes reportedly crippled Iran’s nuclear program, Japan&apos;s investment deal grows, and tensions rise between Cambodia and Thailand. Meanwhile, Hunter Biden gets a massive book deal, Megxit loses media influence, and Trump pulls funding from NPR. Medical studies raise concerns about long-term mRNA effects, and America now has over 57 million senior gamers.</itunes:summary>

Trump gains momentum with legal wins, deep state rollbacks, and plans to dismantle bloated federal agencies. Redistricting and voter roll purges favor Republicans, while the economic outlook strengthens with lower jobless claims and rising gas industry performance. California faces cyber threats from China, and sanctuary city policies are under federal attack. Culturally, confidence in college is plummeting, DEI failures are becoming costly, and a federal court ruled in favor of religious liberty and free speech. Internationally, U.S. strikes reportedly crippled Iran’s nuclear program, Japan&apos;s investment deal grows, and tensions rise between Cambodia and Thailand. Meanwhile, Hunter Biden gets a massive book deal, Megxit loses media influence, and Trump pulls funding from NPR. Medical studies raise concerns about long-term mRNA effects, and America now has over 57 million senior gamers.</itunes:subtitle>

      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) This is interesting. It is not the DOJ that is releasing all these MLK papers or which put together the "criminal" referral to Pam Bondi, but <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/gabbard-releases-nearly-250000-pages-of-martin-luther-king-jr-assassination-files-5890596?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-07-22&src_cmp=mb-2025-07-22&utm_medium=email&est=mP7ZGUDkmX1EquC7STFFGwDkzFeLlRozjsCdRF5gq4%2FVmtpvqOTLRoFTJD%2F5FgzzUrWt%2FKE%3D" target="_blank">Tulsi Gabbard at Homeland Security. Now she has released hundreds of thousands of Martin Luther King, Jr., assassination papers.</a> Gabbard <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/gabbard-release-more-obama-russiagate-files-cannot-fathom-how-durham-mueller-missed?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5258" target="_blank">followed through by releasing thousands of more documents and cannot understand how Mulehead and Bull Durham "missed it." </a>Ah, Tulsi, I love ya, but come on. They didn't miss anything. They were the cleanup crew. Their job was to make sure nothing stuck to Cankles, Scrotumtoter, Deep Stroke, and the rest of the chug-smuggling commie cabal headed by Zero. But I think Tulsi actually knows this. So wassup with her, and not Bondi, leading this charge? Many will jump to say it's a "lack of faith" in DOJ. I don't think so. I think for some time Bondi has been lobbying Trump to let DOJ focus on the 150 court cases that are holding back his agenda and put the conspiracy and Russia Hoax stuff on the back burner. I do think this has more to do with personnel/time demands in DOJ than with the issues themselves. By having Tulsi run point on this, it kills two birds with one stone. First, it takes the "weaponization" of the DOJ off the table because it is now required that Bondi follow through. Second, it raises the stakes from a matter of crime to the level of treason. Now Bondi will say, "Ah, shucks, we have to follow through on this." Most important, however, it names names, especially that of <a href="https://x.com/bennyjohnson/status/1947688498330247277?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Zero, whom President Trump himself called out</a> for treason. <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/07/22/obama-response-trump-treason-claims/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Obama issued a statement that called it a "distraction," not defamation. And he certainly had no denial in it, of the actual </a>charges., just a reference to Muy Macho Marco's senate document. Just watch Muy Macho Marco come out and bitchslap the Kenyan. If you didn't catch this, the whole moment is historical. As <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/benedict-obama-wednesday-july-23?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=169040609&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Jeff Childers notes,</a> No other president has publicly accused another president of treason. Meanwhile, <a href="https://x.com/MizDonna69/status/1947801617572549002" target="_blank">Matt Taibbi says there is a crap-ton of evidence coming and that the key word here is CONSPIRACY.</a> Back to Childers, who says that Trump has crossed a Rubicon---that this charge cannot be walked back or blown off, and, then, he adds the predictable "it would destroy his presidency" line. Well, not quite. I don't think Trump will walk back anything but aren't we getting that people are seeing the flow of illegals stopped; no foreign wars; gas and food prices falling; U.S. revenues soaring, and, well, "it's the economy, stupid." However, I do recommend before it goes too far Trump simply pardon Zero, which will stain his presidency permanently.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) There has been <a href="https://x.com/DavidJHarrisJr/status/1947773921127772514?t=oM52ua7SbejGA3hWnlz-qA&s=03" target="_blank">a breakthrough in the Colorado recorder case</a>, in which Tina Peters was jailed for trying to follow the law with regards to the 2020 election.

Ron Johnson isn't happy with the Butler assassination attempt investigation, and<a href="https://justthenews.com/government/federal-agencies/one-year-after-butler-secret-service-failures-revealed-assassins?utm_source=daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter" target="_blank"> has issued more subpoenas for material.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Goooooood.

It's like Custer riding even deeper into Indian territory as they closed in around him.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Google<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/google-removes-nearly-11000-youtube-channels-linked-to-china-russia-other-nations-5890913?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-07-22-3&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-07-22-3&utm_medium=email&est=qC1LqrKhetbmohtI3kCZJErPis%2B%2FEwfaUyIRUkR62oUWv8MnNCH7COlybogBHgHgPT1o9H3u" target="_blank"> terminated more than 11,000 youtube channels</a> from Chy-na, Russia, and other dens of iniquity.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Pam Bondi just bitchslapped the NJ judges who wouldn't allow Alina Hubba Hubba Habba to continue in her position. Bondi<a href="https://x.com/AGPamBondi/status/1947768353025556950" target="_blank"> immediately removed the judge-appointed replacement.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>8) A <a href="https://x.com/GraziellaPastor/status/1947704666357112934/photo/1" target="_blank">circuit court just ended AP's attempt to get a rehearing </a>on their eviction from the White House press pool.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) As if the "face" of the DemoKKKrat Party wasn't bad enough with the Prancing Gheyboy Tampon Timmy, Betamale, Lil' Hitler David Hogg, the Amazing Zohran, and a Somali jihadists, <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/fk-clooney-carville-hunter-biden-goes-expletive-laced-rant-about-everything?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5268" target="_blank">now Hunter Biteme throws his hat into the ring with a profanity laced (coke induced?) rant.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>10) The feds <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/manhattan-bomb-plot-foiled-feds-charge-ny-man-building-stashing-ieds-across-city" target="_blank">broke up a NY bomb plot</a> involving multiple IEDs, while Federal Housing Director <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/07/22/developing-two-more-criminal-referrals-issued-2-5b/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">Bill Pulte issued two more criminal referrals to DOJ </a>on top of the referral for Fed chief Jerome Powell for perjury.

They didn't miss anything. They were the cleanup crew. Their job was to make sure nothing stuck to Cankles, Scrotumtoter, Deep Stroke, and the rest of the chug-smuggling commie cabal headed by Zero. But I think Tulsi actually knows this. So wassup with her, and not Bondi, leading this charge? Many will jump to say it's a "lack of faith" in DOJ. I don't think so. I think for some time Bondi has been lobbying Trump to let DOJ focus on the 150 court cases that are holding back his agenda and put the conspiracy and Russia Hoax stuff on the back burner. I do think this has more to do with personnel/time demands in DOJ than with the issues themselves. By having Tulsi run point on this, it kills two birds with one stone. First, it takes the "weaponization" of the DOJ off the table because it is now required that Bondi follow through. Second, it raises the stakes from a matter of crime to the level of treason. Now Bondi will say, "Ah, shucks, we have to follow through on this." Most important, however, it names names, especially that of <a href="https://x.com/bennyjohnson/status/1947688498330247277?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Zero, whom President Trump himself called out</a> for treason. <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/07/22/obama-response-trump-treason-claims/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Obama issued a statement that called it a "distraction," not defamation. And he certainly had no denial in it, of the actual </a>charges., just a reference to Muy Macho Marco's senate document. Just watch Muy Macho Marco come out and bitchslap the Kenyan. If you didn't catch this, the whole moment is historical. As <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/benedict-obama-wednesday-july-23?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=169040609&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Jeff Childers notes,</a> No other president has publicly accused another president of treason. Meanwhile, <a href="https://x.com/MizDonna69/status/1947801617572549002" target="_blank">Matt Taibbi says there is a crap-ton of evidence coming and that the key word here is CONSPIRACY.</a> Back to Childers, who says that Trump has crossed a Rubicon---that this charge cannot be walked back or blown off, and, then, he adds the predictable "it would destroy his presidency" line. Well, not quite. I don't think Trump will walk back anything but aren't we getting that people are seeing the flow of illegals stopped; no foreign wars; gas and food prices falling; U.S. revenues soaring, and, well, "it's the economy, stupid." However, I do recommend before it goes too far Trump simply pardon Zero, which will stain his presidency permanently.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) There has been <a href="https://x.com/DavidJHarrisJr/status/1947773921127772514?t=oM52ua7SbejGA3hWnlz-qA&s=03" target="_blank">a breakthrough in the Colorado recorder case</a>, in which Tina Peters was jailed for trying to follow the law with regards to the 2020 election.

The fact that Tulsi Gabbard at DHS has revealed this, and not the DOJ, is a signal that they do not want this to look like a "gotcha" of political enemies but of what it was, <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/treasonous-conspiracy-dni-gabbard-exposes-obama-center-trump-russia-hoax?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5236" target="_blank">a real national security threat: the "Muh Russia" conspiracy was real and involved multiple individuals in the Obama administration</a>, including scum such as James (Scrotumtoter) Comey, James (The Clap) Clapper, and John (Brennanski) Brennan, not to mention<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/treasonous-conspiracy-dni-gabbard-exposes-obama-center-trump-russia-hoax?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5247" target="_blank"> Obama himself. </a>Reports are emerging that this <a href="https://x.com/paulsperry_/status/1947048837647921399?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1947048837647921399%7Ctwgr%5E37ac5c869525e18def911b6de1692b28db3dc452%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Ftownhall.com%2Ftipsheet%2Fmattvespa%2F2025%2F07%2F21%2Fmore-russian-docs-are-coming-and-hillary-clinton-is-in-them-n2660657" target="_blank">stuff directly implicates both Cankles and Zero</a>.

Ultimately, this topic requires a heckuva lot more than I can provide in "Today's News," so see my substack for today.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Meanwhile Trump has called for the release of <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/07/17/trump-calls-to-release-all-pertinent-grand-jury-testimony-in-jeffrey-epstein-case/" target="_blank">all grand jury testimony in the Epstein case.</a> Although this has been beaten to death, Naomi Wolf has a different take on the entire Epstein business, <a href="https://naomiwolf.substack.com/p/the-network-in-the-worlds-of-the?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=676930&post_id=168516979&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">arguing that the "network" is a large collection of scientists, techbros, financiers, ethicists, and others whom Epstein recruited and funded</a> (whether at the direct orders of a spy agency or not. As she puts it: "The Epstein files probably contain many innocent people as well as many guilty ones; but again, they are very likely to contain, innocent and guilty, some of the most powerful of President Trump’s current supporters; and some of the greatest of scientists and some of the most influential technologists of our time." But "muh Epstein" will sink Trump, right? Er, no. <a href="https://x.com/i/status/1945846793654173983" target="_blank">Harry Enten was astonished to find that the Epstein files and the Iran bombing had zero effect on Trump's polling</a>, which, among Republicans WENT UP. Told you.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) The Kollyfornia House is trying to sneak in <a href="https://x.com/JakeSherman/status/1945779560466821329" target="_blank">a mid-decade redistricting to give the DemoKKKrats 5-7 more seats in Congres</a>s---because they know they will lose 5-7 when all the census changes, voter registration changes, and deportations come through. However, they are swimming against the tide of voter roll purges. The latest in <a href="https://x.com/Shilohmarx/status/1946759904792048105?t=6_W27UV-05JrYS1nopMNGw&s=03" target="_blank">San Diego took another 345,000 ineligible voters off the rolls</a>. The statewide total---with Orange Co. and New Azteca (LA) not in yet---is over 2 million, maybe 2.4 million of which about 60% are DemoKKKrats.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) <a href="https://www.vox.com/politics/419913/democratic-agenda-abundance-zohran-mamdani-project-2029" target="_blank"><i>Vox</i> is still full of hopium /copium</a>, saying there is a "three-way battle" for the soul of the DemoKKKrat Party. First, we all know that this terrorist organization has no soul, but the "progressive-establishment-abundance" battle is really not as neat and clean as <i>Vox</i> wants. They fail to recognize that there are now five major civil wars ongoing in the DemoKKKrat Party and <strong>none of the factions comes close to delivering what the American public wants because deep down most of them hate America.</strong> So when Senator Elissa Slotkin of MI urges the party <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/07/17/obamacare-rule-used-for-maryland-abortion-funds/" target="_blank">to dump "wonky" policies and develop more "alpha energy," </a>who are they gonna find? The Prancing Gheyboy Tampon Timmy? The Human Lemur Adam Schiff? The oleaginous goobah Gruesome? For Pete's sake they had the ultimate soyboy, the Betamale, on all the talk shows this weekend. Granted the Amzaing Zohran has youthful jihadist energy, but he's also a Jew-hating Islamic porkcudgel and a socialist. Then you have the aging DinoBernie, a so-called "socialist" <a href="https://freebeacon.com/democrats/bernie-sanders-spends-another-230k-on-private-jets-to-fight-the-oligarchy/" target="_blank">who spent $250,000 on private jets to fight the power.</a> But undaunted, the establishment types are developing a <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/30/us/politics/democrats-project-2029.html" target="_blank">"Project 2029,"</a> which will be moot when they lose. Clinton-era Serpent Head James Carville says that "Wait, folks, the DemoKKKrats <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/21/opinion/carville-democrats-midterms-mamdani.html?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">can still win the midterms.</a> Really." Quietly, though, the DemoKKKrats are worried and <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5407276-democrats-trump-politician-foreign-policy/" target="_blank">now admit Trump is a very talented politician. </a>Meanwhile, Will Fletcher argues that <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/beltway-confidential/3474852/gen-z-right-voters-trump-republicans/?utm_source=deployer&utm_medium=email&utm_content=1752938119&utm_campaign=Beltway+Confidential&utm_term=" target="_blank">the right is giving Gen Z exatly what they want.</a> And <a href="https://x.com/davidshor/status/1946001825888371006" target="_blank">GOP fundraising is specifically directed toward other groups than the big donor class</a>, while DemoKKKrats are still living and dying with the deep pockets. This is another way in which the DemoKKKrats are doomed: it's hard to get grass roots money when ya ain't got grass roots support.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) For all the Panicans who said Trump was finished if the Epstein files weren't released and/or because of the Iran bombing . . . er, no. <a href="https://x.com/Rasmussen_Poll/status/1946904414435848612" target="_blank">He is at 50% in Rasmussen's poll and up 2 more today, according to Rasmussen's Mark Mitchell.</a> And Mitchell was one of the biggest Panicans. Heck, even <i>Newsweak</i> used AI and still came up with <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-most-successful-president-after-six-months-since-fdr-2101113?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">"Trump is the Most Successful President since FDR."</a> Yeah, but he did it without one-tenth of FDR's congressional support and in the face of pure treason.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) RFK, Jr., <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/07/16/trump-coke-real-cane-sugar-mexican-coke" target="_blank">fired two more top aides</a> at HHS, and Pam Bondi <a href="https://protrumpnews.com/comeys-daughter-fired-epstein-maxwell-diddy-prosecutor/" target="_blank">fired James (Scrotumtoter) Comey's daughter.</a> Good. Six months too late, but good.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) The radical whoop-pickle running for New Kabul (NYC)'s mayorship, the Amazing Zohran, <a href="https://freebeacon.com/latest-news/zohran-mamdani-tells-new-york-ceos-he-stands-by-the-idea-of-globalize-the-intifada-report/" target="_blank">says he wants to "globalize the intifada."</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>8) <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/07/16/california-la-recovery-karen-bass-gavin-newsom-locals-progress/" target="_blank">Six months later radical Kollyfornia DemoKKKrats have done NOTHING to rebuild from the New Azteca (LA) fires</a>. That's because they do not want to rebuilt HOUSES there. They want multi-story ghetto dwellings.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) <a href="https://x.com/OpenSourceZone/status/1945541835008401703?t=OMb_a6O3BuDM6QDW7Gl70g&s=03" target="_blank">Pew says the approval of the DemoKKKrat Party has fallen yet again, now down to 19%</a>. I'm tellin' ya, barring a major skin-change out of the lizardpeople persona, DemoKKKRats are on a path to extinction.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) The <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1946325853773967783?t=3ZccpMZZp8w9GqGOG5FSgg&s=03" target="_blank">Pentagon canceled a contract in which the ChiComs were giving us cloud computer support.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>11) EXXON is now<a href="https://blackmon.substack.com/p/the-beginning-of-a-beautiful-friendship?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=712558&post_id=168585409&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> partnering with oil rich Guyana.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>12) Most Americans <a href="https://herdingcatsnj.substack.com/p/americans-see-presidents-affecting?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1388472&post_id=168594115&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=291ar&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">don't see presidents affecting their personal lives much.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>13) Rutabaga's ridiculous fraud administration <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/07/17/us-news/biden-admin-spent-over-1-million-on-swimming-pool-upgrades-in-war-torn-countries-sen-ernsts-team-discovers/" target="_blank">spent one million on swimming pool upgrades in war torn countries</a>.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) This has the potential to be a massive story. The fact that Tulsi Gabbard at DHS has revealed this, and not the DOJ, is a signal that they do not want this to look like a "gotcha" of political enemies but of what it was, <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/treasonous-conspiracy-dni-gabbard-exposes-obama-center-trump-russia-hoax?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5236" target="_blank">a real national security threat: the "Muh Russia" conspiracy was real and involved multiple individuals in the Obama administration</a>, including scum such as James (Scrotumtoter) Comey, James (The Clap) Clapper, and John (Brennanski) Brennan, not to mention<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/treasonous-conspiracy-dni-gabbard-exposes-obama-center-trump-russia-hoax?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5247" target="_blank"> Obama himself. </a>Reports are emerging that this <a href="https://x.com/paulsperry_/status/1947048837647921399?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1947048837647921399%7Ctwgr%5E37ac5c869525e18def911b6de1692b28db3dc452%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Ftownhall.com%2Ftipsheet%2Fmattvespa%2F2025%2F07%2F21%2Fmore-russian-docs-are-coming-and-hillary-clinton-is-in-them-n2660657" target="_blank">stuff directly implicates both Cankles and Zero</a>. I'll reluctantly think that Zen Master thinks nothing will happen. But lawyer Jeff Childers thinks otherwise, and<a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/potboiler-saturday-july-19-2025-c?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=168708434&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> lists 12 different ways Tulsi Gabbard's roll out of the case </a>was unique and designed specifically to avoid most of the media and legal footdragging that might come from DOJ underlings. Ultimately, this topic requires a heckuva lot more than I can provide in "Today's News," so see my substack for today.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Meanwhile Trump has called for the release of <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/07/17/trump-calls-to-release-all-pertinent-grand-jury-testimony-in-jeffrey-epstein-case/" target="_blank">all grand jury testimony in the Epstein case.</a> Although this has been beaten to death, Naomi Wolf has a different take on the entire Epstein business, <a href="https://naomiwolf.substack.com/p/the-network-in-the-worlds-of-the?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=676930&post_id=168516979&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">arguing that the "network" is a large collection of scientists, techbros, financiers, ethicists, and others whom Epstein recruited and funded</a> (whether at the direct orders of a spy agency or not. As she puts it: "The Epstein files probably contain many innocent people as well as many guilty ones; but again, they are very likely to contain, innocent and guilty, some of the most powerful of President Trump’s current supporters; and some of the greatest of scientists and some of the most influential technologists of our time." But "muh Epstein" will sink Trump, right? Er, no. <a href="https://x.com/i/status/1945846793654173983" target="_blank">Harry Enten was astonished to find that the Epstein files and the Iran bombing had zero effect on Trump's polling</a>, which, among Republicans WENT UP. Told you.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) The Kollyfornia House is trying to sneak in <a href="https://x.com/JakeSherman/status/1945779560466821329" target="_blank">a mid-decade redistricting to give the DemoKKKrats 5-7 more seats in Congres</a>s---because they know they will lose 5-7 when all the census changes, voter registration changes, and deportations come through. However, they are swimming against the tide of voter roll purges. The latest in <a href="https://x.com/Shilohmarx/status/1946759904792048105?t=6_W27UV-05JrYS1nopMNGw&s=03" target="_blank">San Diego took another 345,000 ineligible voters off the rolls</a>. The statewide total---with Orange Co. and New Azteca (LA) not in yet---is over 2 million, maybe 2.4 million of which about 60% are DemoKKKrats.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) <a href="https://www.vox.com/politics/419913/democratic-agenda-abundance-zohran-mamdani-project-2029" target="_blank"><i>Vox</i> is still full of hopium /copium</a>, saying there is a "three-way battle" for the soul of the DemoKKKrat Party. First, we all know that this terrorist organization has no soul, but the "progressive-establishment-abundance" battle is really not as neat and clean as <i>Vox</i> wants. They fail to recognize that there are now five major civil wars ongoing in the DemoKKKrat Party and <strong>none of the factions comes close to delivering what the American public wants because deep down most of them hate America.</strong> So when Senator Elissa Slotkin of MI urges the party <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/07/17/obamacare-rule-used-for-maryland-abortion-funds/" target="_blank">to dump "wonky" policies and develop more "alpha energy," </a>who are they gonna find? The Prancing Gheyboy Tampon Timmy? The Human Lemur Adam Schiff? The oleaginous goobah Gruesome? For Pete's sake they had the ultimate soyboy, the Betamale, on all the talk shows this weekend. Granted the Amzaing Zohran has youthful jihadist energy, but he's also a Jew-hating Islamic porkcudgel and a socialist. Then you have the aging DinoBernie, a so-called "socialist" <a href="https://freebeacon.com/democrats/bernie-sanders-spends-another-230k-on-private-jets-to-fight-the-oligarchy/" target="_blank">who spent $250,000 on private jets to fight the power.</a> But undaunted, the establishment types are developing a <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/30/us/politics/democrats-project-2029.html" target="_blank">"Project 2029,"</a> which will be moot when they lose. Clinton-era Serpent Head James Carville says that "Wait, folks, the DemoKKKrats <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/21/opinion/carville-democrats-midterms-mamdani.html?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">can still win the midterms.</a> Really." Quietly, though, the DemoKKKrats are worried and <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5407276-democrats-trump-politician-foreign-policy/" target="_blank">now admit Trump is a very talented politician. </a>Meanwhile, Will Fletcher argues that <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/beltway-confidential/3474852/gen-z-right-voters-trump-republicans/?utm_source=deployer&utm_medium=email&utm_content=1752938119&utm_campaign=Beltway+Confidential&utm_term=" target="_blank">the right is giving Gen Z exatly what they want.</a> And <a href="https://x.com/davidshor/status/1946001825888371006" target="_blank">GOP fundraising is specifically directed toward other groups than the big donor class</a>, while DemoKKKrats are still living and dying with the deep pockets. This is another way in which the DemoKKKrats are doomed: it's hard to get grass roots money when ya ain't got grass roots support.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) For all the Panicans who said Trump was finished if the Epstein files weren't released and/or because of the Iran bombing . . . er, no. <a href="https://x.com/Rasmussen_Poll/status/1946904414435848612" target="_blank">He is at 50% in Rasmussen's poll and up 2 more today, according to Rasmussen's Mark Mitchell.</a> And Mitchell was one of the biggest Panicans. Heck, even <i>Newsweak</i> used AI and still came up with <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-most-successful-president-after-six-months-since-fdr-2101113?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">"Trump is the Most Successful President since FDR."</a> Yeah, but he did it without one-tenth of FDR's congressional support and in the face of pure treason.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) RFK, Jr., <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/07/16/trump-coke-real-cane-sugar-mexican-coke" target="_blank">fired two more top aides</a> at HHS, and Pam Bondi <a href="https://protrumpnews.com/comeys-daughter-fired-epstein-maxwell-diddy-prosecutor/" target="_blank">fired James (Scrotumtoter) Comey's daughter.</a> Good. Six months too late, but good.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) The radical whoop-pickle running for New Kabul (NYC)'s mayorship, the Amazing Zohran, <a href="https://freebeacon.com/latest-news/zohran-mamdani-tells-new-york-ceos-he-stands-by-the-idea-of-globalize-the-intifada-report/" target="_blank">says he wants to "globalize the intifada."</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>8) <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/07/16/california-la-recovery-karen-bass-gavin-newsom-locals-progress/" target="_blank">Six months later radical Kollyfornia DemoKKKrats have done NOTHING to rebuild from the New Azteca (LA) fires</a>. That's because they do not want to rebuilt HOUSES there. They want multi-story ghetto dwellings.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) <a href="https://x.com/OpenSourceZone/status/1945541835008401703?t=OMb_a6O3BuDM6QDW7Gl70g&s=03" target="_blank">Pew says the approval of the DemoKKKrat Party has fallen yet again, now down to 19%</a>. I'm tellin' ya, barring a major skin-change out of the lizardpeople persona, DemoKKKRats are on a path to extinction.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) The <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1946325853773967783?t=3ZccpMZZp8w9GqGOG5FSgg&s=03" target="_blank">Pentagon canceled a contract in which the ChiComs were giving us cloud computer support.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>11) EXXON is now<a href="https://blackmon.substack.com/p/the-beginning-of-a-beautiful-friendship?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=712558&post_id=168585409&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> partnering with oil rich Guyana.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>12) Most Americans <a href="https://herdingcatsnj.substack.com/p/americans-see-presidents-affecting?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1388472&post_id=168594115&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=291ar&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">don't see presidents affecting their personal lives much.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>13) Rutabaga's ridiculous fraud administration <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/07/17/us-news/biden-admin-spent-over-1-million-on-swimming-pool-upgrades-in-war-torn-countries-sen-ernsts-team-discovers/" target="_blank">spent one million on swimming pool upgrades in war torn countries</a>.

      <title>Today&apos;s News, June 10-14, 2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) In one of the biggest hidden stories of the year, Kollyfornia, after its massive voter roll purges, continues to slowly move rightward, as last month the <a href="https://x.com/WinWithJMC/status/1944516648431681548" target="_blank">GOP gained a net of 23,000</a>. Kollyfornia therefore is looking like every other state in voter registration changes. But wait! Overall it's even more shocking, as so far <a href="https://x.com/BluntGOP/status/1944122668065993101?t=Db9-G_CMT9QKjoUZKG81Gw&s=03" target="_blank">Kollyfornia has removed over 2.1 million ineligible voters</a>. (read, "DemoKKKrats"). Seth Keshel then noted that the DemoKKKrats have<a href="https://skeshel.substack.com/p/the-dirty-dozen-democrats-have-12?utm_campaign=email-half-post&r=dx45b&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> 12 states under control each by a single county.</a> I don't care how big the cities or counties are, that's a vulnerability right there. Oh, and in further indication of the Great DemoKKKrat Crack-Up, the guys at <i>Liberal Patriot</i> found<a href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/the-return-of-all-of-the-above?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=239058&post_id=167965091&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> that nearly 60% of blue collar voters want more gas and oil</a>. Imagine that. Now, <a href="https://skeshel.substack.com/p/the-brown-cardboard-box-theory-of?utm_campaign=email-half-post&r=dx45b&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Seth Keshel notes that VA may still be a tough nut.</a> The Trump layoffs were on holed while the judge was overruled. If gubment unemployment can push up to 200,000 out of the DC/VA region by 2028, Rs have a chance. They'd only need to pull over about another 100,000.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) <a href="https://shipwreckedcrew.substack.com/p/appeals-court-hears-appeal-regarding?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=284783&post_id=167270228&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Shipwreckedcrew argues that the oral arguments</a> in the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals case indicated that the case will go back to the original court with likelihood that President Trump will be given wide latitude in defining the Alien Enemies.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) In the great Epstein Influencer War of 2025, <i>Axios</i> reported that <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/tensions-explode-between-bongino-and-bondi-amid-doj-epstein-memo-fallout-reports?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5167" target="_blank">Pam Bondi and Dan Bongino had a heated argument over the Epstein files,</a> and that Bongino issued a "Her or me" kind of ultimatum. First, it's <i>Axios</i>. Everyone corroborating this story likely is calling . . . <i>Axios for corroboration</i>. Second, it's good to be able to have hot discussions with subordinates. You do not want yes men in the organization. Third, Bongino is two levels down from Bondi and in a "her or him" struggle, he will be gone. But <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/07/13/president-trump-reveals-he-has-spoken-deputy-fbi/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">Trump stepped in, talked with Dan, said Bongino is just fine, and I expect the kids to make up and get back to work this week. </a>Meanwhile, I argued last week that there were a burst of big human trafficking busts since February, and that these were coming from witness testimony in the Epstein files. Trump did not confirm this, but he did confirm they had <a href="https://x.com/0HOUR1__/status/1943683240910320066?t=rgOyZvpeGgYn7PBzYTEE2A&s=03" target="_blank">so far freed 10,000 children from pedos and traffickers.</a> But, like Freddy, the story just clings on. Now <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/metadata-shows-the-dojs-raw-jeffrey-epstein-prison-video-was-likely-modified/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"><i>Wired </i>magazine says the DOJ video was edited, and badly.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Now, here is an angle I hadn't considered, the Tar Baby angle, where Trump/Bondi say "No, we're done with the Epstein files. Not going to release anything else," and DemoKKKrats squeal "YOU MUSSSSST." Then Trump/Bondi go, "Aw shucks. OK." <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/07/13/house-democrat-introduce-amendment-forcing-vote-demanding-full/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">A DemoKKKrat has introduced a bill to make the DOJ release everything</a>. Gooooooood.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Tucker Carlson (i.e., "The Tuckster")<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/tucker-carlson-reveals-who-he-thinks-funded-jeffrey-epsteins-crimes?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5172" target="_blank"> thinks Israel funded Epstein</a>. In recent weeks the Tuckster has gotten further and further out. Pretty soon he'll be picking the Dallas Cowboys to win the Super Bowl. 6) The U.S. <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/can-us-seize-chinas-mineral-throne-with-deep-sea-mining-heres-what-experts-say-5882747?utm_source=China&src_src=China&utm_campaign=uschina-2025-07-13&src_cmp=uschina-2025-07-13&utm_medium=email&est=%2F%2FJ5jq8YPiH6XvXOuEUbYmdcpLqfd%2BUp0GLSS2QRW%2BFc8HFABihDsDlxiZUR8lUFWCmnp12c" target="_blank">is launching a "moonshot" level effort to get to minerals at the bottom of the sea</a> before Chy-na does.

Fine and dandy, but they . . . knew about the planned attempt a month in advance?? <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/cascade-of-preventable-failures-contributed-to-trump-assassination-attempt-senate-report-5886855?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-07-14&src_cmp=mb-2025-07-14&utm_medium=email&est=lgJxvYdMIpeYerFZC74oGdg6mcQiFpm0L1f%2BXuvOcxJ90lvdQMk%2BN%2B%2BtXjImX4dp91zM2Jc%3D" target="_blank">The Senate report stated that a "cascade of failures"</a> accompanied that nearly-fatal failure. None fired there yet.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) Now the <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/07/10/biden-physician-oconnor-plead-the-fifth/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"><i>Washington ComPost </i>wants an "unflinching" look into Rutabaga's mental health?</a> What, video of him stumbling, bumbling, slurring and careening from whispers to screaming didn't tell you something? Except Rutabaga's doctor is pleading the Fifth.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) In one of the biggest hidden stories of the year, Kollyfornia, after its massive voter roll purges, continues to slowly move rightward, as last month the <a href="https://x.com/WinWithJMC/status/1944516648431681548" target="_blank">GOP gained a net of 23,000</a>. Kollyfornia therefore is looking like every other state in voter registration changes. But wait! Overall it's even more shocking, as so far <a href="https://x.com/BluntGOP/status/1944122668065993101?t=Db9-G_CMT9QKjoUZKG81Gw&s=03" target="_blank">Kollyfornia has removed over 2.1 million ineligible voters</a>. (read, "DemoKKKrats"). Seth Keshel then noted that the DemoKKKrats have<a href="https://skeshel.substack.com/p/the-dirty-dozen-democrats-have-12?utm_campaign=email-half-post&r=dx45b&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> 12 states under control each by a single county.</a> I don't care how big the cities or counties are, that's a vulnerability right there. Oh, and in further indication of the Great DemoKKKrat Crack-Up, the guys at <i>Liberal Patriot</i> found<a href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/the-return-of-all-of-the-above?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=239058&post_id=167965091&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> that nearly 60% of blue collar voters want more gas and oil</a>. Imagine that. Now, <a href="https://skeshel.substack.com/p/the-brown-cardboard-box-theory-of?utm_campaign=email-half-post&r=dx45b&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Seth Keshel notes that VA may still be a tough nut.</a> The Trump layoffs were on holed while the judge was overruled. If gubment unemployment can push up to 200,000 out of the DC/VA region by 2028, Rs have a chance. They'd only need to pull over about another 100,000.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) <a href="https://shipwreckedcrew.substack.com/p/appeals-court-hears-appeal-regarding?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=284783&post_id=167270228&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Shipwreckedcrew argues that the oral arguments</a> in the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals case indicated that the case will go back to the original court with likelihood that President Trump will be given wide latitude in defining the Alien Enemies.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) In the great Epstein Influencer War of 2025, <i>Axios</i> reported that <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/tensions-explode-between-bongino-and-bondi-amid-doj-epstein-memo-fallout-reports?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5167" target="_blank">Pam Bondi and Dan Bongino had a heated argument over the Epstein files,</a> and that Bongino issued a "Her or me" kind of ultimatum. First, it's <i>Axios</i>. Everyone corroborating this story likely is calling . . . <i>Axios for corroboration</i>. Second, it's good to be able to have hot discussions with subordinates. You do not want yes men in the organization. Third, Bongino is two levels down from Bondi and in a "her or him" struggle, he will be gone. But <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/07/13/president-trump-reveals-he-has-spoken-deputy-fbi/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">Trump stepped in, talked with Dan, said Bongino is just fine, and I expect the kids to make up and get back to work this week. </a>Meanwhile, I argued last week that there were a burst of big human trafficking busts since February, and that these were coming from witness testimony in the Epstein files. Trump did not confirm this, but he did confirm they had <a href="https://x.com/0HOUR1__/status/1943683240910320066?t=rgOyZvpeGgYn7PBzYTEE2A&s=03" target="_blank">so far freed 10,000 children from pedos and traffickers.</a> But, like Freddy, the story just clings on. Now <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/metadata-shows-the-dojs-raw-jeffrey-epstein-prison-video-was-likely-modified/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"><i>Wired </i>magazine says the DOJ video was edited, and badly.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Now, here is an angle I hadn't considered, the Tar Baby angle, where Trump/Bondi say "No, we're done with the Epstein files. Not going to release anything else," and DemoKKKrats squeal "YOU MUSSSSST." Then Trump/Bondi go, "Aw shucks. OK." <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/07/13/house-democrat-introduce-amendment-forcing-vote-demanding-full/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">A DemoKKKrat has introduced a bill to make the DOJ release everything</a>. Gooooooood.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Tucker Carlson (i.e., "The Tuckster")<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/tucker-carlson-reveals-who-he-thinks-funded-jeffrey-epsteins-crimes?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5172" target="_blank"> thinks Israel funded Epstein</a>. In recent weeks the Tuckster has gotten further and further out. Pretty soon he'll be picking the Dallas Cowboys to win the Super Bowl. 6) The U.S. <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/can-us-seize-chinas-mineral-throne-with-deep-sea-mining-heres-what-experts-say-5882747?utm_source=China&src_src=China&utm_campaign=uschina-2025-07-13&src_cmp=uschina-2025-07-13&utm_medium=email&est=%2F%2FJ5jq8YPiH6XvXOuEUbYmdcpLqfd%2BUp0GLSS2QRW%2BFc8HFABihDsDlxiZUR8lUFWCmnp12c" target="_blank">is launching a "moonshot" level effort to get to minerals at the bottom of the sea</a> before Chy-na does.

Trump continues consolidating control, with GOP gains, DOJ reforms, and tariff policies that generated a $27B surplus in June. The Epstein saga persists, sparking internal MAGA tensions, while Trump’s administration cracks down on trafficking, gubment bloat, and green energy boondoggles. Major court wins on immigration and religious freedoms continue, while illegal immigration issues remain heated. The Biden admin faces scrutiny over pardons and mental fitness. Internationally, the U.S. is pushing mineral independence, deep-sea exploration, and military alliances while selling—not gifting—arms to Ukraine allies. Cultural rifts widen as churches, media, and companies like the Gaineses bend to progressive pressure. Meanwhile, economic warning signs loom in consulting and renewable sectors, climate change panic fades, and a mysterious solar object unsettles scientists.

      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Showing once again that she not only is the stupidest female on the Supreme Court, but the stupidest member ever, Jumpin' Jackson Brown was the lone dissent <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/supreme-court-clears-way-for-federal-layoffs-5883594?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-07-09&src_cmp=mb-2025-07-09&utm_medium=email&est=Ogye3BcHo5f%2BLxhUML2Zexgc24MrOxn64F6bx%2Fg60Li%2Bi03z%2BNfZo47t8pStJFer3VN%2BDyg%3D" target="_blank">in a ruling that cleared the way for President Trump to resume mass firings in the federal government.</a> It was so obvious that even the "wise Latina" had to vote with the conservatives and Kagan, who increasingly has been a vote-switcher.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) In what is apparently the only thing the MAGA blogosphere is concerned about, AG <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/ag-bondi-clarifies-remarks-on-epstein-files-5884341?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-07-09&src_cmp=mb-2025-07-09&utm_medium=email&est=lVklJt4jxThzhoIZ6aYCkrv8BD5qZ%2FJ9EET7dGRHSGJvPqAXYDzyigwrgnJMkkdrHN49urE%3D" target="_blank">Pam Bondi clarified her earlier comment</a> this year that the Epstein "client list" was "sitting on her desk." She also (possibly rightly) denied any knowledge of whether ol' Eppie was a foreign agent. This won't go away, on the one hand, and on the other, Trump appears fed up with the attention this is getting and appears to be fully supportive of Bondi. He should be. Her DOJ has won <i><strong>every single case</strong></i> that has reached a final resolution brought against the administration. That, combined with the mass trafficking arrests so far that I personally (just my opinion) think are directly the result of Epstein leads, make her an excellent AG in my book. MAGA wants symbolic heads on platters. Trump and Bondi, it appears, are far more interested in real, daily indictments of criminals currently among us. Meanwhile, <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/musk-epstein-92996/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">Elon Musk led the right-wing meltdown.</a> Nevertheless, online sleuths <a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/just-in-doj-releases-epstein-jail-cell-footage-sleuths-notice-missing-minute-mace/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank">noticed that there was a full minute of footage missing in the jail cell video.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Douglas Mackey, better known as "Ricky Vaughn" on Twitter, was arrested and jailed for a meme in which he urged people to vote on the wrong day. <a href="https://x.com/DougMackeyCase/status/1942947069745934603" target="_blank">The Second Circuit Court threw out his conviction for lack of evidence, and remanded it to the district court with orders to dismis</a>s. Douglas should get major restitution from the U.S. government for his heinous act.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) The <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/tsa-allows-passengers-to-keep-shoes-on-at-airport-checkpoints-noem-says-5884499?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-07-09&src_cmp=mb-2025-07-09&utm_medium=email&est=t2p%2BvtoDLhqVnXUHKCulcwS9cbTJM7XM5U%2BmmC%2FuXFy7OcWZ4636asugCpepMYIAkZxtmI4%3D" target="_blank">TSA is eliminating the require</a>ment that passengers have to remove their shoes before boarding an airplane. Now, can we remove the TSA and restore in-flight meals?</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Here are <a href="https://brucemehlman.substack.com/p/six-chart-sunday-on-the-bright-side" target="_blank">six very positive trends </a>for the USA.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) President Trump <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-extends-federal-hiring-freeze-until-october-5884207?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">extended the federal hiring freeze until October.</a> I'm guessing he'll extend it every few months from here on until 2028.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Pretty soon this will need its own header, as the DemoKKKrat search for answers continues. Now El Pollo Gallego and others are saying they screwed up on the border, that <a href="https://protrumpnews.com/democrats-admit-they-messed-up-on-the-border/" target="_blank">DemoKKKrats looked "feckless" and "indecisive."</a> No, you looked treasonous and anti-American. Have they really learned anything? Nope. Hakeem ("Movin' on Up") Jeffries<a href="https://ijr.com/hakeem-jeffries-does-not-rule-out-calls-to-defund-ice-ahead-of-2026-midterms/?utm_source=PTN" target="_blank"> won't rule out defunding ICE if DemoKKKrats win in 2026.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Not good. Citing delays in materials,<a href="https://ijr.com/new-navy-aircraft-carriers-face-delays-as-shipbuilding-woes-persist/" target="_blank"> the U.S. Navy has pushed back delivery of the newest aircraft carrier, the <i>U.S.S. John F. Kennedy</i></a>. Retirement of the <i>Nimitz</i> soon means the U.S. will only have 10 operational carriers.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) In a suburb of Benghazi-by-the-Lake,<a href="https://secondcitycop.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"> some 200 denizens of the inner city graced a local pool,</a> blasted past the pool manager, who was pushed into a pool, and had a ghetto time. Pool passes were issued the next day to residents who did not appreciate the diversity training. Dang Amish.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) Failed and fired State <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/fired-state-dept-bureaucrats-reportedly-using-regime-change-skills-sabotage-trump" target="_blank">Department gutter-punchers are using their regime change skills</a> to try to stop Trump.</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) A new book with "internal" sources claims that many (not all) of Rutabaga's staff <a href="https://www.politico.com/newsletters/playbook/2025/07/07/revealed-why-biden-wanted-the-cnn-debate-00441081" target="_blank">pressed for a SPRING 2024 debate</a> because Rutabaga was---interpreting here---fading too fast and that would be his best chance to beat Trump.</p><p><br /> </p><p>12) Love this. President <a href="https://blackmon.substack.com/p/trump-wind-and-solar-are-a-blight?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=712558&post_id=167900614&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Trump said wind and solar are a "blight" on our country.</a> Precisely. They are ugly, kill wildlife, impossible to maintain, and deliver only tiny bits of energy if everything is just right.</p><p><br /> </p><p>13) Elon Musk is still on his nutball third party rampage, but his CEO at X had enough. <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2025/07/09/elon-musk-linda-yaccarino-grok-x/" target="_blank">Linda Yaccarino resigned.</a> And she's not the only one. Also quitting are Uday Ruddarraju, the Head of Infrastructure Engineering at xA and David Lau, the Vice President of Software Engineering at Tesla. By the way, in his latest rant <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/07/08/elon-musk-says-steve-bannon-is-epstein-files/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">Elon claimed Steve Bannon was on the Epstein client list.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>14) 15) A new IRS ruling reinterprets the older ruling preventing churches from endorsing candidates by saying they can do so to their own congregations, which is a completely gelatinous interpretation, as many churches no longer keep regular member rolls. More important, as <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/grok-gone-wild-wednesday-july-9-2025?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=167904050&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Jeff Childers points out, this will have the impact of forcing candidates to change their entire approach.</a>. How big is this? Childers says it begins a "structural rebalancing of political influence, moving influence <i>away</i> from elite institutions, tech platforms, and campaign consultants, and <i>toward</i> local, trusted authority figures, many of whom already have weekly access to hundreds or thousands of voters." Now, it's worth noting that DemoKKKrats have done this forever with the so-called "black church." But now the white churches are getting in on the action.</p><p><br /> </p><p>15) Seth Keshel, who nailed the 2024 presidential race even down to the county level,<a href="https://skeshel.substack.com/p/my-latest-2028-registration-forecast?utm_campaign=email-half-post&r=dx45b&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> predicts J.D. Vance will win in 2028 with 316 EVs</a>. I have it in the 320-340 EV range. Speaking of the veep, he said that the Amazing Zohran<a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2025/07/08/vance_mamdani_represents_a_contradictory_coalition_of_hatred_arsonists_who_make_common_cause_with_anyone_willing_to_light_the_match.html?s=09" target="_blank"> represents a "contradictory coalition of common enemies." </a>True dat. By the way, various maps showing the impact of Texas and Ohio and possibly Louisiana redistricting would move 8-16 seats to the GOP, and in one scenario, over 30. Be still my beating heart.</p><p><br /> </p><p>16) A CIA internal review <a href="https://justthenews.com/government/courts-law/cia-review-suggests-brennan-lied-congress-steele-dossier-2016-intel?utm_source=daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter" target="_blank">says John Brennanski lied to Congress.</a> Why hasn't he been indicted yet?</p><p><br /> </p><p>17) President Trump's <a href="https://x.com/IAPolls2022/status/1942994105950150963" target="_blank">net approvals are very good.</a> If either Brook Rollins' continued retarded comments that seem to favor amnesty or the Epstein stuff is sticking? Well, it doesn't show up here.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>18) We ought to have a Jeopardy show with such luminaries as New Azteca Mayor Karen Ass and Occasional Cortex. Of course, the contestants would have to be spotted almost every single letter, even even then might struggle. Consider Mayor Ass, who said of the ICE raid on MacArthur Park (which was melting in the dark), that she "<a href="https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2025/07/08/bass-i-didnt-know-what-feds-were-doing-in-park-but-i-wanted-them-to-leave-because-they-could-create-a-crowd/" target="_blank">didn't know what the feds were doing" there but wanted them to leave because they could "create a crowd."</a> What, you mean other than the crowd of illegal criminal invaders and homeless druggies?</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>19) <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/3463289/harmeet-dhillon-civil-rights-division-rebuilt-cultural-shift-trump/" target="_blank">Harmeet Dhillon is changing the culture at the DOJ to enforce true anti-discrimination</a> policies against anyone, not just preferred classes. "The memo went out," she said. 20) To that end, <a href="https://protrumpnews.com/trump-admin-subpoenas-harvard/" target="_blank">Homeland Security sent out subpoenas to Harvard over criminality by foreign students on campus</a>. Among other things, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/harvards-accreditation-at-risk-over-anti-semitism-response-trump-admin-warns-5884899?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">Harvard's very accreditation is at risk over its treatment of Jewish students.</a> Good to see that the DOJ isn't alone in this stuff.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ECONOMIC NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>21) <a href="https://amgreatness.com/2025/07/08/why-wall-street-funds-anti-tariff-lawfare-2/" target="_blank">Wall Street is funding anti-tariff lawfare.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>22) The <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/median-sales-price-for-us-homes-reaches-record-high-of-400125-post-5883653?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">median price of new homes hit $400,000</a> as <a href="https://www.realtor.com/news/trends/delistings-home-seller-june-trends-report/" target="_blank">delistings of current homes surged by almost 50%</a>, as people would rather hang on to their houses than negotiate.</p><p><br /> </p><p>23) <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1942942061834932254" target="_blank">U.S. inflation dropped to 1.66% </a>but the Fed still holds ridiculously high rates to screw Trump.</p><p><br /> </p><p>24) The House is beginning to DOGE it up, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/us-cancels-54-contracts-saves-804-million-in-2-days-doge-5883694?autoemail=larry.schweikart%40gmail.com&utm_source=deployer&utm_medium=EmailMk&utm_content=&utm_campaign=new&utm_term=" target="_blank">cancelling 54 contracts totalling over $800 million in just two days.</a> Nice start.</p><p><br /> </p><p>25) Treasury Sec Scott Bessent says that <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/07/08/elon-musk-says-steve-bannon-is-epstein-files/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">tariffs will bring in about $300 billion by year's end.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>26) Bitcoin rose to a<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/09/crypto-market-today.html" target="_blank"> new record of $112,000 per coin.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>27) Germany <a href="https://trt.global/world/article/5448679a941a?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">saw its highest corporate bankruptcy rate in a decade</a>. Hmm. How's that energy transition working out for ya?</p><p><br /> </p><p>28) Having given them an extra month to negotiate, President Trump<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-announces-25-percent-tariff-on-japan-south-korea-5883773?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-07-08&src_cmp=mb-2025-07-08&utm_medium=email&est=%2F3UXHJufYJRAb4e9p8uAEgWssD7NIDVcE%2F4CFOwv0P40uvbqsWD9EeYq8sRCqMJp%2FFCoUiI%3D" target="_blank"> has imposed tariffs on 14 countries.</a> Apparently many of our "Asian allies" didn't believe Trump, and <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/07/08/trumps-tariff-letters-roil-asian-allies-00443008?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">now they are shocked.</a> Equally important, they found out via Trump's posts on Truth Social. Trump has completely redefined international diplomatic communication: "Now nearly every world leader has an active social media account. That’s no minor adjustment for technology; it cuts corporate media right out of the middle," <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/grok-gone-wild-wednesday-july-9-2025?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=167904050&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">according to Jeff Childers</a>. Corporate media is being forced to report what Trump said on HIS Truth account, which is pretty funny when you think about it. To that end, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2025-07-08/trump-doctrine-puts-american-power-front-and-center?sref=IBNMKYlZ" target="_blank"><i>Bloomberg </i>notes that Trump has opened a new era in American foreign policy</a>, and despite journal articles constantly insisting we are in a period of American decline, "Trump, in his inimitable way, has reminded so many countries where power really lies." For instance, yesterday he said "Today we're going copper" and<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/business/trump-to-impose-50-percent-tariff-on-copper-5884328?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-07-08-3&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-07-08-3&utm_medium=email&est=Q%2Bh9Zw3BvPpgxgmBYJTWYDrFQeWFAfMqjV5ggVEO3Te%2F6arI%2FDmqXOBOz9PnBXviCHw7gnQ%3D" target="_blank"> imposed a 50% tariff on imported copper.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>29) There is a<a href="https://blackmon.substack.com/p/doug-sheridan-western-hemisphere?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=712558&post_id=167900369&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> lot of gas and oil about to come from the Western Hemisphere that will not be from the USA.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN MEDICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>30) The medical cartel, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, American College of Physicians, the American Public Health Association, and the Infectious Diseases Society of America, <a href="https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/breaking-medical-cartel-sues-rfk?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1119676&post_id=167744736&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">filed suit against HHS for its reduced recommendations for childhood vaxxes.</a> And a <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/healthcare/3461331/top-fda-official-rejects-covid-vaccines-fda-unknown-risks/" target="_blank">top FDA official rejected two different China Virus vaxxes as unsafe.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>AND FINALLY . . .</h3><p><br /> </p><p>31) The new book, <i>America in the 21st Century</i>, is in production.

Now El Pollo Gallego and others are saying they screwed up on the border, that <a href="https://protrumpnews.com/democrats-admit-they-messed-up-on-the-border/" target="_blank">DemoKKKrats looked "feckless" and "indecisive."</a> No, you looked treasonous and anti-American.

They are ugly, kill wildlife, impossible to maintain, and deliver only tiny bits of energy if everything is just right.</p><p><br /> </p><p>13) Elon Musk is still on his nutball third party rampage, but his CEO at X had enough. <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2025/07/09/elon-musk-linda-yaccarino-grok-x/" target="_blank">Linda Yaccarino resigned.</a> And she's not the only one. Also quitting are Uday Ruddarraju, the Head of Infrastructure Engineering at xA and David Lau, the Vice President of Software Engineering at Tesla. By the way, in his latest rant <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/07/08/elon-musk-says-steve-bannon-is-epstein-files/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">Elon claimed Steve Bannon was on the Epstein client list.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>14) 15) A new IRS ruling reinterprets the older ruling preventing churches from endorsing candidates by saying they can do so to their own congregations, which is a completely gelatinous interpretation, as many churches no longer keep regular member rolls. More important, as <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/grok-gone-wild-wednesday-july-9-2025?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=167904050&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Jeff Childers points out, this will have the impact of forcing candidates to change their entire approach.</a>. How big is this? Childers says it begins a "structural rebalancing of political influence, moving influence <i>away</i> from elite institutions, tech platforms, and campaign consultants, and <i>toward</i> local, trusted authority figures, many of whom already have weekly access to hundreds or thousands of voters." Now, it's worth noting that DemoKKKrats have done this forever with the so-called "black church." But now the white churches are getting in on the action.</p><p><br /> </p><p>15) Seth Keshel, who nailed the 2024 presidential race even down to the county level,<a href="https://skeshel.substack.com/p/my-latest-2028-registration-forecast?utm_campaign=email-half-post&r=dx45b&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> predicts J.D.

Trump has completely redefined international diplomatic communication: "Now nearly every world leader has an active social media account. That’s no minor adjustment for technology; it cuts corporate media right out of the middle," <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/grok-gone-wild-wednesday-july-9-2025?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=167904050&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">according to Jeff Childers</a>.

      <title>Today&apos;s News, July 5-7, 2026</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) The <a href="https://x.com/EWess92/status/1941263500921405770?t=37MmDDCaellUo7s2cBrEvw&s=03" target="_blank"><i>New York Slimes</i> has now shifted its caterwauling</a> about the cuts in the BBB and now is directing its opposition to the fact that for once in a very long time, the states will have to pay their own way. Whiney Hobbit, the gov of Arizona, having just sunk two balanced-budget bills from the statehouse, says "gee, now we won't have enough money." Boo hoo. Cut, baby, cut. As I said months ago, Trump is absolutely taking the New Deal and Great Society apart, brick by brick. As Jeff Childers noted the<a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/complications-saturday-july-5-2025?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=167583729&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> BBB "doesn’t just reform the welfare state; it deconstructs it. It’s the first major paradigm shift since LBJ. And it’s political genius, because the states must now shoulder the blame for cuts." </a>We'll see how many DEI or homosexual programs states want to fund if citizens can't get their expected goodies. According to the <i>Slimes</i>, that amounts to $1 trillion. Get it? Previously the U.S. gubment was adding $1 trillion every 10 years to our debt that was actually the responsibility of the states. And Dem governors are SQUEALING. Oh, and food stamp recipients need to work.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) It appears that Hakeem ("Movin' on Up") Jeffries' marathon speech against the BBB only <a href="https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2025/07/04/house-dems-secretly-raged-as-jeffries-marathon-speech-backfired-spectacularly-n4941440" target="_blank">caused a few Republicans to actually switch and support the bill.</a> <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/07/03/hakeem-jeffries-speech-big-beautiful-bill-trump" target="_blank">DemoKKKrats were irate</a> with Movin. This <a href="https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2025/07/04/how-trump-just-won-the-2026-midterms-for-the-gop-n4941436" target="_blank">story claims Trump has maneuvered the DemoKKKrats into supporting the Amazing Zohran</a> in New Kabul (NYC) and thus has ensured a GOP landslide in 2026. I'm more cautious. Rs hold the House, and gain a modest 5-10.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) File under, "Why are Republicans acting like DemoKKKrats?" Our pals at the <i>Slimes</i> again blared: "<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/03/us/politics/republican-criticism-trump-policy-bill.html" target="_blank">They savaged their party's bill. Then they voted for it." </a>Boo hoo. For once, the Rs held together as a group, save St. Thomas of Spoogeville and Fitzpatrick of PA, who is a Uke warwhore.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Elon Musk <a href="https://x.com/GrageDustin/status/1941831472307994904" target="_blank">started a new political party</a> which, apparently has two members---Andrew "Yangtze" Yang and Mark "Castro" Cuban, along with an Indian treasurer and custodian.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) The <a href="https://x.com/EWess92/status/1941263500921405770?t=37MmDDCaellUo7s2cBrEvw&s=03" target="_blank"><i>New York Slimes</i> has now shifted its caterwauling</a> about the cuts in the BBB and now is directing its opposition to the fact that for once in a very long time, the states will have to pay their own way. Whiney Hobbit, the gov of Arizona, having just sunk two balanced-budget bills from the statehouse, says "gee, now we won't have enough money." Boo hoo. Cut, baby, cut. As I said months ago, Trump is absolutely taking the New Deal and Great Society apart, brick by brick. As Jeff Childers noted the<a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/complications-saturday-july-5-2025?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=167583729&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> BBB "doesn’t just reform the welfare state; it deconstructs it. It’s the first major paradigm shift since LBJ. And it’s political genius, because the states must now shoulder the blame for cuts." </a>We'll see how many DEI or homosexual programs states want to fund if citizens can't get their expected goodies. According to the <i>Slimes</i>, that amounts to $1 trillion. Get it? Previously the U.S. gubment was adding $1 trillion every 10 years to our debt that was actually the responsibility of the states. And Dem governors are SQUEALING. Oh, and food stamp recipients need to work.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) It appears that Hakeem ("Movin' on Up") Jeffries' marathon speech against the BBB only <a href="https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2025/07/04/house-dems-secretly-raged-as-jeffries-marathon-speech-backfired-spectacularly-n4941440" target="_blank">caused a few Republicans to actually switch and support the bill.</a> <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/07/03/hakeem-jeffries-speech-big-beautiful-bill-trump" target="_blank">DemoKKKrats were irate</a> with Movin. This <a href="https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2025/07/04/how-trump-just-won-the-2026-midterms-for-the-gop-n4941436" target="_blank">story claims Trump has maneuvered the DemoKKKrats into supporting the Amazing Zohran</a> in New Kabul (NYC) and thus has ensured a GOP landslide in 2026. I'm more cautious. Rs hold the House, and gain a modest 5-10.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) File under, "Why are Republicans acting like DemoKKKrats?" Our pals at the <i>Slimes</i> again blared: "<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/03/us/politics/republican-criticism-trump-policy-bill.html" target="_blank">They savaged their party's bill. Then they voted for it." </a>Boo hoo. For once, the Rs held together as a group, save St. Thomas of Spoogeville and Fitzpatrick of PA, who is a Uke warwhore.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Elon Musk <a href="https://x.com/GrageDustin/status/1941831472307994904" target="_blank">started a new political party</a> which, apparently has two members---Andrew "Yangtze" Yang and Mark "Castro" Cuban, along with an Indian treasurer and custodian. Perfect.

Only St. Thomas of Spooge voted against if for the Rs, while not a single DemoKKKrat voted for tax cuts for the middle class, not taxes on tips, completing the border wall, or increasing the ICE budget. The final bill eliminated funding for illegals on Medicaid, did serious damage to Planned Parenthood, and otherwise constituted a more permanent lock-in of the MAGA agenda.

First, Centene, a health care insurer with a heavy portfolio of Obamacare cases, just took a massive hit of $1.8 billion. In short, this was because so many people "died suddenly." Second, Social Security reported a sudden and dramatic drop in the number of recipients. While some of that may be due to Trump's purges and deportation of a few illegals, much of it is, again, the "died suddenly" problem. And lastly, he cites the stock charts of a few major funeral home companies. All this, he notes, comes right at the 5 year mark of the China Virus and at the 4 year mark of the vax. Centene's risk pool is drying up, that is, those people who depended on the gubment for health care and who were the objects of overwhelming vax propaganda.

Only St. Thomas of Spooge voted against if for the Rs, while not a single DemoKKKrat voted for tax cuts for the middle class, not taxes on tips, completing the border wall, or increasing the ICE budget. The final bill eliminated funding for illegals on Medicaid, did serious damage to Planned Parenthood, and otherwise constituted a more permanent lock-in of the MAGA agenda.

First, Centene, a health care insurer with a heavy portfolio of Obamacare cases, just took a massive hit of $1.8 billion. In short, this was because so many people "died suddenly." Second, Social Security reported a sudden and dramatic drop in the number of recipients. While some of that may be due to Trump's purges and deportation of a few illegals, much of it is, again, the "died suddenly" problem. And lastly, he cites the stock charts of a few major funeral home companies. All this, he notes, comes right at the 5 year mark of the China Virus and at the 4 year mark of the vax. Centene's risk pool is drying up, that is, those people who depended on the gubment for health care and who were the objects of overwhelming vax propaganda.

      <title>Today&apos;s News, July 1-2, 2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) The <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/doj-sues-los-angeles-over-sanctuary-policies-5880405?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-07-01&src_cmp=mb-2025-07-01&utm_medium=email&est=HLwungnkMk2Uf6wtHH1l2ittYClXxqsx6GOwTfzM82mvOLgbZx963TkD%2Fk8t2S%2FlNv90%2BRc%3D" target="_blank">Trump administration has sued New Azteca</a> (LA) for preventing ICE officers and others from doing their jobs. I'm totally at a loss here. I've been patient. But why are you SUING and not ARRESTING that toilet-muffin Mayor ASS? If there is one thing that dealing with thugs, criminals, and the uber rich has taught us is that financial fines MEAN NOTHING. The people who perpetrate these heinous acts of fecalbilge never pay the bills. They foist it onto taxpayers and/or stockholders. Now, I don't know if Pam Bondi's lawyers are telling her that such criminal indictments would be thrown out; that they would never work; that the taxpayers would pay her defense, or what. But they have FA'd and now it's time to FO.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) That's not to say that Trump's lawyers from Solicitor General to the DOJ aren't extremely effective. They are. Consider the recent questioning in front of the Fifth Circuit over Trump's use of the "Aliens and Enemies Act." <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/jerome-bond-tuesday-july-1-2025-c?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=167262351&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">The judge asked if the counsel for Tren de Arugula could cite a single case in which a court was allowed to countermand an Executive decision that about an "armed invasion." </a>Poor Tren de Aurugala lawyer could not. Game, set, match. As Jeff Childers put it, "the ACLU handed the court a one-sentence shortcut: no case law, no authority, no judicial override . . . .The decision writes itself." <br /> </p><p>3) In the 1973 movie Dirty Harry movie "Magnum Force," Harry's recurring line was "A man's got to know his limitations." <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/musks-vows-to-primary-republicans-who-vote-for-gop-megabill-5880620?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-07-01&src_cmp=mb-2025-07-01&utm_medium=email&est=uUu20EenLz%2FIZMfuQ1fPtbKYfKlH%2F1uLubop%2FrryZUWcS7IzhKw9P9DRnYCja5YVEngjsdk%3D" target="_blank">Such is the case with Elon Musk</a>. After he got a whiff of political power in DOGE, suddenly he thinks he understands American politics and has threatened to primary any Republican voting for the Big Beautiful BIll (i.e., all of them except St. Thomas of Spooge). He completely fails to understand the American system of government <i>as intended by the Founders</i> is very slow, gradual change. With the exception of the Civil War and the Great Depression, most of America's political history has reflected this. Even the changes wrought by WW I didn't last six months after the war ended. So not only will this effort be useless (creating a new, effective, political party last occurred in 1855), but the winner-take-all/single-member-district system prohibits it. Oh, and Elon's impact on the Senate? <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/senate-passes-trump-megabill-with-vance-casting-tie-breaker-sending-it-to-house-5880607?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-07-01-2&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-07-01-2&utm_medium=email&est=QtCSGirrgbOcUhptLFMTP9A%2BYBH9ZoXCyf0i7TSeyOiBOh%2BfiNBMHNxtgmUW%2Fzv2tDxzIAw%3D" target="_blank">It passed the BBB.</a> The Senate version actually includes the elimination of Medicare for illegals and eliminates all subsidies to wind/solar/weather power. Well done, Senate. It does raise the question of whether, in fact, John Can't-Carry-a-Thune isn't better at his job than we think.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/trump-vs-musk-big-beautiful-bill-feud-sparks-overnight-political-firestorm?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5080" target="_blank">Elon Musk's war with Donald Trump continues</a>, leading Trump to now threaten to sic DOGE itself on Musk. Elon is like Green Screen Zelensky here: he has no cards. It's a stupid fight on his part, and, having alienated the left, he as a businessman is alienating the right. I'm reminded of the John Lennon/Paul McCarney feud where they never truly made up in person. Sad. Elon is a foreigner who does not understand the basic workings of U.S. government.

It will be <i>YUGE</i>. Possibly intergalactic.".</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) Love it. The FBI will move, not to a brand new building in Maryland, but<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/fbi-picks-ronald-reagan-building-in-washington-as-new-headquarters-5881157?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank"> to the REAGAN Building in D.C.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>10) Trump appointed his hot and extremely effective attorney, <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/07/02/president-trump-has-new-position-lined-up-his/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">Alina Habba, as the federal attorney for NJ.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>11) Secretary of State Muy Macho Marco has ordered the<a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1940426383374590389" target="_blank"> removal of ANY logos other than that of the American flag</a> from all departments.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>12) I think Ron DeSantis has found his way back into MAGA: he is<a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/07/01/breaking-ron-desantis-will-deputize-national-guard-members/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank"> deputizing National Guard members to be immigration judges with same-day deportations</a>!</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN TRANSOID NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>13) The new head of the International Olympic Committee <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/fearless/olympics-pres-protect-womens-sports" target="_blank">hinted strongly that she will "protect the female category,"</a> which seems to mean no transoids.</p><p><br /> </p><p>14) As <a href="https://jennifersey.substack.com/p/university-of-pennsylvania-to-apologize?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=904886&post_id=167318578&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Jennifer Sey</a> says, the "world is catching up" to the fact that men cannot become women and women cannot become men.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) The <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/doj-sues-los-angeles-over-sanctuary-policies-5880405?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-07-01&src_cmp=mb-2025-07-01&utm_medium=email&est=HLwungnkMk2Uf6wtHH1l2ittYClXxqsx6GOwTfzM82mvOLgbZx963TkD%2Fk8t2S%2FlNv90%2BRc%3D" target="_blank">Trump administration has sued New Azteca</a> (LA) for preventing ICE officers and others from doing their jobs. I'm totally at a loss here. I've been patient. But why are you SUING and not ARRESTING that toilet-muffin Mayor ASS? If there is one thing that dealing with thugs, criminals, and the uber rich has taught us is that financial fines MEAN NOTHING. The people who perpetrate these heinous acts of fecalbilge never pay the bills. They foist it onto taxpayers and/or stockholders. Now, I don't know if Pam Bondi's lawyers are telling her that such criminal indictments would be thrown out; that they would never work; that the taxpayers would pay her defense, or what. But they have FA'd and now it's time to FO.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) That's not to say that Trump's lawyers from Solicitor General to the DOJ aren't extremely effective. They are. Consider the recent questioning in front of the Fifth Circuit over Trump's use of the "Aliens and Enemies Act." <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/jerome-bond-tuesday-july-1-2025-c?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=167262351&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">The judge asked if the counsel for Tren de Arugula could cite a single case in which a court was allowed to countermand an Executive decision that about an "armed invasion." </a>Poor Tren de Aurugala lawyer could not. Game, set, match. As Jeff Childers put it, "the ACLU handed the court a one-sentence shortcut: no case law, no authority, no judicial override . . . .The decision writes itself." <br /> </p><p>3) In the 1973 movie Dirty Harry movie "Magnum Force," Harry's recurring line was "A man's got to know his limitations." <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/musks-vows-to-primary-republicans-who-vote-for-gop-megabill-5880620?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-07-01&src_cmp=mb-2025-07-01&utm_medium=email&est=uUu20EenLz%2FIZMfuQ1fPtbKYfKlH%2F1uLubop%2FrryZUWcS7IzhKw9P9DRnYCja5YVEngjsdk%3D" target="_blank">Such is the case with Elon Musk</a>. After he got a whiff of political power in DOGE, suddenly he thinks he understands American politics and has threatened to primary any Republican voting for the Big Beautiful BIll (i.e., all of them except St. Thomas of Spooge). He completely fails to understand the American system of government <i>as intended by the Founders</i> is very slow, gradual change. With the exception of the Civil War and the Great Depression, most of America's political history has reflected this. Even the changes wrought by WW I didn't last six months after the war ended. So not only will this effort be useless (creating a new, effective, political party last occurred in 1855), but the winner-take-all/single-member-district system prohibits it. Oh, and Elon's impact on the Senate? <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/senate-passes-trump-megabill-with-vance-casting-tie-breaker-sending-it-to-house-5880607?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-07-01-2&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-07-01-2&utm_medium=email&est=QtCSGirrgbOcUhptLFMTP9A%2BYBH9ZoXCyf0i7TSeyOiBOh%2BfiNBMHNxtgmUW%2Fzv2tDxzIAw%3D" target="_blank">It passed the BBB.</a> The Senate version actually includes the elimination of Medicare for illegals and eliminates all subsidies to wind/solar/weather power. Well done, Senate. It does raise the question of whether, in fact, John Can't-Carry-a-Thune isn't better at his job than we think.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/trump-vs-musk-big-beautiful-bill-feud-sparks-overnight-political-firestorm?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5080" target="_blank">Elon Musk's war with Donald Trump continues</a>, leading Trump to now threaten to sic DOGE itself on Musk. Elon is like Green Screen Zelensky here: he has no cards. It's a stupid fight on his part, and, having alienated the left, he as a businessman is alienating the right. I'm reminded of the John Lennon/Paul McCarney feud where they never truly made up in person. Sad. Elon is a foreigner who does not understand the basic workings of U.S. government. Which, by the way, you can get here:</p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_152b1cd0c9234cbebc12d45dd45abe07~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1480,h_2236,al_c,q_90,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_152b1cd0c9234cbebc12d45dd45abe07~mv2.jpg" alt="" /><p><br /> </p><p>5) Just the latest from the <a href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/how-democrats-can-maintain-their?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=239058&post_id=167183124&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">"commonsense" DemoKKKrats, who know that the party has a "patriotism problem.</a>" But I see nothing in here that realistically would work. And here is just another example of why the "commonsense" DemoKKKrats have no chance at fixing their party: the <a href="https://x.com/Bubblebathgirl/status/1939712145244979349" target="_blank">latest strategy is to have a national "sick out" day where DemoKKKrats don't go to work, school, etc</a>. Yeah, that's the ticket. Remind people why they don't miss you.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) The Big Beautiful Bill passed the Senate, <a href="https://protrumpnews.com/one-big-beautiful-bill-stops-medicaid-funding-to-planned-parenthood/" target="_blank">removing subsidies for wind and solar, and also eliminated Medicaid funding for Planned Murderhood.</a> Now back to the House <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/house-panel-advances-senate-passed-megabill-to-floor-5880962?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">which just passed it to the floor.</a> <i>Newsweak</i> said<a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/06/30/even-newsweek-admits-donald-trump-notches-his-best/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank"> Trump had his best week of his presidency.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>7) <a href="https://americafirstreport.com/i-am-a-person-that-follows-the-data-pollster-who-predicted-trump-would-destroy-the-gop-admits-she-was-wrong/" target="_blank">Pollster Kristen Anderson admitted she was wrong about Trump</a>, and that he did better with every group she said he'd struggle with. Jeez, Kris, you coulda talked to me a year ago.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) The <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/07/02/media/cbs-trump-60-minutes-paramount-settlement" target="_blank">Trump Presidential Library fund is already at $56 million</a> after the latest contribution from the fecalspuds at Paramount, who paid out $16 million for a, as CNN puts it, "dubious" lawsuit over the Cackles political donation called an interview. As only <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/get-rfk-wednesday-july-2-2025-c-and?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=167353916&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Jeff Childers</a> can put it, the Library will "probably be built out of gold-plated server racks and feature AI-powered holograms narrating Trumpian greatness in surround sound. It will be <i>YUGE</i>. Possibly intergalactic.".</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) Love it. The FBI will move, not to a brand new building in Maryland, but<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/fbi-picks-ronald-reagan-building-in-washington-as-new-headquarters-5881157?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank"> to the REAGAN Building in D.C.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>10) Trump appointed his hot and extremely effective attorney, <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/07/02/president-trump-has-new-position-lined-up-his/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">Alina Habba, as the federal attorney for NJ.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>11) Secretary of State Muy Macho Marco has ordered the<a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1940426383374590389" target="_blank"> removal of ANY logos other than that of the American flag</a> from all departments.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>12) I think Ron DeSantis has found his way back into MAGA: he is<a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/07/01/breaking-ron-desantis-will-deputize-national-guard-members/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank"> deputizing National Guard members to be immigration judges with same-day deportations</a>!</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN TRANSOID NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>13) The new head of the International Olympic Committee <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/fearless/olympics-pres-protect-womens-sports" target="_blank">hinted strongly that she will "protect the female category,"</a> which seems to mean no transoids.</p><p><br /> </p><p>14) As <a href="https://jennifersey.substack.com/p/university-of-pennsylvania-to-apologize?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=904886&post_id=167318578&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Jennifer Sey</a> says, the "world is catching up" to the fact that men cannot become women and women cannot become men.

Reminder: when girls complained, the U told them to seek therapy.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ECONOMIC NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>15) Kollyfornia <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/30/us/california-environment-newsom-ceqa.html" target="_blank">has rolled back a signature environmental regulation that was pricing houses out of existence. </a>Is this an ice bath of reality for DemoKKKrats?

      <title>Today&apos;s News, June 27-30, 2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) President Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/06/29/president-trumps-big-beautiful-bill-passes-key-senate/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">passed a key senate vote and will likely pass now.</a>. Senate Rs added back in defunding Medicare for illegals and <a href="https://ijr.com/senate-gop-slashes-spending-in-big-beautiful-bill-as-fiscal-hawks-push-for-more-cuts/?utm_source=PTN" target="_blank">fiscal hawks slashed more spending..</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Whether it's the unusually accurate reporter <a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2025/06/a_very_consequential_two_weeks.html" target="_blank">Salena Zito</a> or the witty-but-equally-accurate <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/template-saturday-june-28-2025-c?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=167040042&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">blogger Jeff Childers</a>, the consensus is that in the last two weeks there has been a sort of cultural and national "regime change" of titanic proportions. This involved the hugely successful Iran raid, the ongoing massively successful tariff negotiations, the wildly positive rulings from the Supes, the ongoing exodus of illegal criminal aliens, or the excessively dispeptic, frantic, hostile, and cyst-obstructed rectalisms of the DemoKKKrat Party.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) I keep sayin' it. The DemoKKKrat Party is in total collapse, and just the latest evidence from Pew, that shows <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2025/06/26/behind-trumps-2024-victory-a-more-racially-and-ethnically-diverse-voter-coalition/" target="_blank">it is the Republicans who are the more ethnically diverse party. </a>In Baltimore, the left is in a panic <a href="https://americafirstreport.com/far-left-panic-dark-money-ngo-floods-baltimore-airwaves-with-propaganda-to-save-governor/" target="_blank">as dark money has poured into saving the fungalbiscuit mayor </a>there. And one way you can tell Trump is absolutely dominating is that <a href="https://washingtonmonthly.com/2025/06/27/its-not-just-a-constitutional-crisis-in-the-trump-era-its-constitutional-failure/" target="_blank">leftoids are decrying a "constitutional crisis</a>" because, gee, Trump is getting what he (and we) want. Leftoids will always cite the Constitution after they can no longer cheat. And if you needed more reasons why they will keep losing, it's right here. <a href="https://ijr.com/dem-senator-cant-bring-himself-to-give-trump-any-credit-for-record-low-border-numbers/" target="_blank">CT Senator Chris Murphy refused to give President Trump any credit at all for the astounding drop in border crossings.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Trump <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1939487444883095821" target="_blank">broke NC RINO Senator Uncle Thom Tillis, who won't run for reelection </a>cuz he is so beholden to the illegal army.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) A Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist at the <i>Washington ComPost</i> <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/06/27/pulitzer-prize-winning-washington-post-journalist-charged-possesion/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">was arrested and charged with kiddie porn.</a> Not shocked.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Falls under "mulls," "plans," "is poised to" but it appears as though President <a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/06/who-counts-trump-poised-try-remove-noncitizens-census/" target="_blank">Trump will remove all non-citizens from the census</a>. Illegally-infested Chicago, LA, and NYC hardest hit.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) When firefighters responded to a wildfire in Couer d'Alene, Idaho, <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/weather/everyones-been-shot-here-arsonists-set-wildfire-northern-idaho-open-fire-firefighters?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5063" target="_blank">two were killed and a third badly wounded by a gunman in an ambush.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>8) The FBI has <a href="https://x.com/NewYorkFBI/status/1938293310365270144" target="_blank">charged NY official Linda Sun with fraud and corruption related to PPE funds.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>9) <a href="https://www.fox4news.com/news/i-20-kaufman-county-crash" target="_blank">Five were killed and three 18-wheelers crashed </a>when a truck driver fell asleep in Texas.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) I ask in my subscription substack, <a href="https://larrys.substack.com/p/are-the-epstein-files-already-in" target="_blank">"Are the Epstein Files Already in Use?"</a> I don't believe in coincidences.</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) File under "Not Skynet, Yet," <a href="https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinics-ai-tool-identifies-9-dementia-types-including-alzheimers-with-one-scan/" target="_blank">the Mayo Clinic has used an AI tool to identify nine different dementia types, including Alzheimer's, in a single scan.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>12) <a href="https://abc7ny.com/post/ny-us-politics-new-york-city-leaders-push-proposed-bill-would-ban-ice-agents-wearing-masks-during-arrests/16871747/" target="_blank">New York officials are trying to pass a law that would ban ICE agents from wearing masks</a>---you know, so the cartels can identify them and kill them and their families.

As she says, it's a "cultural reckoning" and if girls don't stand up for Title IX, no one will.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ECONOMIC NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>19) The Senate version of the Big Beautiful Bill <a href="https://edireland.substack.com/p/the-senate-version-of-the-big-beautiful?utm_source=cross-post&publication_id=929169&post_id=167066573&utm_campaign=712558&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">took a surprising turn when it canceled out all solar and wind subsidies</a>.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) President Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/06/29/president-trumps-big-beautiful-bill-passes-key-senate/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">passed a key senate vote and will likely pass now.</a>. Senate Rs added back in defunding Medicare for illegals and <a href="https://ijr.com/senate-gop-slashes-spending-in-big-beautiful-bill-as-fiscal-hawks-push-for-more-cuts/?utm_source=PTN" target="_blank">fiscal hawks slashed more spending..</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Whether it's the unusually accurate reporter <a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2025/06/a_very_consequential_two_weeks.html" target="_blank">Salena Zito</a> or the witty-but-equally-accurate <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/template-saturday-june-28-2025-c?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=167040042&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">blogger Jeff Childers</a>, the consensus is that in the last two weeks there has been a sort of cultural and national "regime change" of titanic proportions. This involved the hugely successful Iran raid, the ongoing massively successful tariff negotiations, the wildly positive rulings from the Supes, the ongoing exodus of illegal criminal aliens, or the excessively dispeptic, frantic, hostile, and cyst-obstructed rectalisms of the DemoKKKrat Party.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) I keep sayin' it. The DemoKKKrat Party is in total collapse, and just the latest evidence from Pew, that shows <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2025/06/26/behind-trumps-2024-victory-a-more-racially-and-ethnically-diverse-voter-coalition/" target="_blank">it is the Republicans who are the more ethnically diverse party. </a>In Baltimore, the left is in a panic <a href="https://americafirstreport.com/far-left-panic-dark-money-ngo-floods-baltimore-airwaves-with-propaganda-to-save-governor/" target="_blank">as dark money has poured into saving the fungalbiscuit mayor </a>there. And one way you can tell Trump is absolutely dominating is that <a href="https://washingtonmonthly.com/2025/06/27/its-not-just-a-constitutional-crisis-in-the-trump-era-its-constitutional-failure/" target="_blank">leftoids are decrying a "constitutional crisis</a>" because, gee, Trump is getting what he (and we) want. Leftoids will always cite the Constitution after they can no longer cheat. And if you needed more reasons why they will keep losing, it's right here. <a href="https://ijr.com/dem-senator-cant-bring-himself-to-give-trump-any-credit-for-record-low-border-numbers/" target="_blank">CT Senator Chris Murphy refused to give President Trump any credit at all for the astounding drop in border crossings.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Trump <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1939487444883095821" target="_blank">broke NC RINO Senator Uncle Thom Tillis, who won't run for reelection </a>cuz he is so beholden to the illegal army.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) A Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist at the <i>Washington ComPost</i> <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/06/27/pulitzer-prize-winning-washington-post-journalist-charged-possesion/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">was arrested and charged with kiddie porn.</a> Not shocked.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Falls under "mulls," "plans," "is poised to" but it appears as though President <a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/06/who-counts-trump-poised-try-remove-noncitizens-census/" target="_blank">Trump will remove all non-citizens from the census</a>. Illegally-infested Chicago, LA, and NYC hardest hit.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) When firefighters responded to a wildfire in Couer d'Alene, Idaho, <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/weather/everyones-been-shot-here-arsonists-set-wildfire-northern-idaho-open-fire-firefighters?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5063" target="_blank">two were killed and a third badly wounded by a gunman in an ambush.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>8) The FBI has <a href="https://x.com/NewYorkFBI/status/1938293310365270144" target="_blank">charged NY official Linda Sun with fraud and corruption related to PPE funds.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>9) <a href="https://www.fox4news.com/news/i-20-kaufman-county-crash" target="_blank">Five were killed and three 18-wheelers crashed </a>when a truck driver fell asleep in Texas.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) I ask in my subscription substack, <a href="https://larrys.substack.com/p/are-the-epstein-files-already-in" target="_blank">"Are the Epstein Files Already in Use?"</a> I don't believe in coincidences.</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) File under "Not Skynet, Yet," <a href="https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinics-ai-tool-identifies-9-dementia-types-including-alzheimers-with-one-scan/" target="_blank">the Mayo Clinic has used an AI tool to identify nine different dementia types, including Alzheimer's, in a single scan.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>12) <a href="https://abc7ny.com/post/ny-us-politics-new-york-city-leaders-push-proposed-bill-would-ban-ice-agents-wearing-masks-during-arrests/16871747/" target="_blank">New York officials are trying to pass a law that would ban ICE agents from wearing masks</a>---you know, so the cartels can identify them and kill them and their families.

      <itunes:summary>President Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” advanced in the Senate, gaining momentum after Republicans reintroduced measures to defund Medicare for illegal immigrants and cut additional spending. A broader cultural and political shift appears underway, marked by Trump’s recent military, legal, and immigration successes, while the Democratic Party faces growing internal collapse and declining public support. Key developments include moves to exclude non-citizens from the census, rising arrests of illegal immigrants, and expanding pro-gun and energy infrastructure initiatives. Internationally, China’s economy continues to falter, Trump’s trade leverage forced Canada to reverse a new digital tax, and Europe faces internal tensions over social policies. In culture and entertainment, resistance to woke narratives grows, highlighted by low interest in Marvel’s “Ironheart” and public pushback against pro-Hamas pressures. Economic concerns include AI’s growing influence, wage garnishment for student loan defaults, and reauthorization of precious metals as legal tender in Texas. The COVID-19 conversation shifts as more officials acknowledge policy failures, while Pfizer faces renewed scrutiny over its data integrity.</itunes:summary>

      <title>Today&apos;s News, June 24-25, 2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>o 1) Obviously the bombing or the Iranian nuke facilities has dominated all news. More below under "International News" except to say that this was a stunningly well-concealed raid. <a href="https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2025/06/21/heres-how-the-white-house-pulled-off-a-flawless-strike-on-iran-n4941046" target="_blank">Jennifer Griffen, Faux News correspondent was utterly stunned</a> that there were no leaks and that the first time she heard of the strike (as with everyone else) was when President Trump announced it on Truth. Almost all military people were impressed with the complexity and success of the raid, including <a href="https://x.com/CurtisHouck/status/1936586975043043489?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">this general. </a>The Punisher, <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/hegseth-reveal-92514/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">SecDef Pete Hegseth detailed the extraordinary operation here</a>, noting the complete head fake of B-2s sent to Guam (which did not tip over), <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/06/22/us-news/b-2-bomber-pilots-had-toilet-microwave-and-cooler-for-snacks-on-37-hour-fordow-bombing-raid/" target="_blank">and the B-2s had toilets, microwaves, and coolers for their 37-hour journey</a>. The U.S. also used Tomahawks fired from Ohio-class converted ballistic missile subs took out air defenses, and prepared the battlefield for the B-2s, which unloaded ordnance and returned without a scratch. (By the way, in our history of the Ohio-class subs, <i>Trident</i>, in 1984, Doug Dalgleish and I predicted the conversion of these vessels into cruise-missile launchers.)</p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_d3c084b9c13c4b17a37001ce6cc8cd0e~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_272,h_410,al_c,lg_1,q_80,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_d3c084b9c13c4b17a37001ce6cc8cd0e~mv2.jpg" alt="" /><p><br /> </p><p>2) So what does this mean politically? In an astounding---or predictable---response from DemoKKKrats, some are <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/international/5362767-trump-bombing-iran-nuclear-sites/" target="_blank">calling for Trump's impeachment</a> like Occasional Cortex and <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-went-against-constitution-dem-160342928.html" target="_blank">this guy</a> (nope because Rs, particularly those in the war lobby, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/house/5362425-republicans-trump-us-bombs-iran/" target="_blank">are fully behind Trump on this</a>) and others are denouncing the raid. <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/middle-east/2025/06/21/chuck-schumer-breaks-silence-opposes-trump-attack-on-iran/" target="_blank">Chuck Spewmore</a>, who once claimed to be Israel's "guardian" in the Senate, has also condemned the raid. Now it <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14838469/democrats-busted-fake-claims-trump-warn-iran-airstrikes.html" target="_blank">appears DemoKKKrat claims Trump did not inform them of the attack were lies</a>. So far, only Fetterman Massacre, the Human Ox, has weighed in patriotically and common-sensically. In other words, the DemoKKKrats have missed yet <i><strong>another opportunity to appear to side with the American people against an observable evil and deadly threat.</strong></i> To me, this is really the story. This story, of DemoKKKrat malfeasance, evil, spoogery, and total implosion is the (so far) third biggest story of the 21st century behind 9/11 and the China Virus. If you needed more "pwoof," <a href="https://townhall.com/tipsheet/saraharnold/2025/06/21/no-kings-20-protests-set-for-july-4-because-the-first-one-was-a-bust-n2659196" target="_blank">they are planning another round of "No Kings" marches on the 4th of July </a>because the last one was just so darned effective. And if all this wasn't enough, Texas DemoKKKrats wanted to <a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2025/06/3_things_that_happened_just_this_week_that_tell_us_dems_are_insane.html" target="_blank">allow squatters to STAY in peoples' homes if they went on vacation </a>and returned to find invaders. I'd say allow this legislation only in DemoKKKrat homes.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) What is all of this getting the DemoKKKrats? In PA, <a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2025/06/3_things_that_happened_just_this_week_that_tell_us_dems_are_insane.html" target="_blank">Republicans gained a STUNNING net 5,400 registered voters among active voters in a SINGLE WEEK, </a>The whole numbers are unchanged so far.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Want more evidence that they are so out of touch as to be radioactive? What did the <i>NYSlimes</i> get out of Pete Hegseth's briefing? That <a href="https://x.com/guypbenson/status/1936773888785912006/photo/1" target="_blank">he referred to the "boys" in the B-2s when (possibly) there was one woman</a>. And so, again, they separate themselves from the mainstream of America.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) This is a critically important concept that apparently people keep missing. As the Punisher, Pete Hegseth says, "<a href="https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/pete-hegseth-iran-nuclear-facilities/2025/06/22/id/1215965/" target="_blank">the World should listen when Trump speaks."</a> And it does the other way too: for too long we just (because we wanted to) assumed that the mullahs in Iran didn't mean what they said when they chanted "Death to America." <a href="https://pjmedia.com/rick-moran/2025/06/22/trumps-decision-to-bomb-iran-wouldnt-have-been-necessary-if-his-predecessors-had-taken-action-n4941053" target="_blank">Rick Moran</a> chimes in that Trump's actions were forced by a "generational failure" of American leaders, including Zero, Clinton, Rutabaga, and W, to deal with the issue.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Speaking of "Death to America," there was <a href="https://x.com/CollinRugg/status/1936839283589152995" target="_blank">a failed church shooter in Michigan, </a>where a deacon ran over him with a Ford pickup and a security guard shot him. Heroes!</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Seth Keshel argues that the <a href="https://skeshel.substack.com/p/3-key-reasons-i-believe-the-white?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">White House is dead serious about cracking down on election fraud.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Here, Seth identifies the five key people who should go to jail, including<a href="https://skeshel.substack.com/p/the-five-people-you-meet-in-prison?utm_campaign=email-half-post&r=dx45b&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> Brad Raffensberger and Katie (The Hobbit) Hobbes.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>9) A new study on ChatGPT says <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2506.08872?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">it rewires your brain and leads to cognitive decline.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>10) A Jewish Ohio legislator was <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/gop-hate-92507/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">run off the road by a man in a fit of antisemitic rage. </a>The fellow has an, er, Arabic name. And in New Kabul (NYC),<a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2025/06/a_shock_poll_suggests_that_the_marxist_muslim_zohran_mamdani_will_be_new_york_s_next_mayor.html" target="_blank"> a radical Marxist-Muslim (but aren't they all?) appears to be leading in the mayor's race</a> tomorrow. If it occurs, the first break in monolithic Jewish support for DemoKKKrats may occur.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>11) Growing up in Arizona we always got Los Angeles Dodger baseball feeds. I therefore loved the New York Yankees. Now I know why I hate the Dodgers, as <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/dodgers-pledges-1-million-in-aid-to-illegal-immigrant-families-impacted-by-ice-operations-5876346?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">they have pledged $1 million to illegal criminal invader families.</a> Gross.</p><p><br /> </p><p>12) Dan Bongino, FBI assistant director, said that <a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/bongino-more-than-700-arrests-made-nationwide-in-connection-with-anti-ice-riots-cmc/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank">over 700 were arrested in the anti-ICE protests.</a> Bongino, in a very personal interview, said that taking the job in DC has caused his marriage to suffer and he and his wife are separated.</p><p><br /> </p><p>13) Here is a <a href="https://cis.org/Richwine/Abundance-New-Academic-Studies-Find-Negative-Impacts-Immigration" target="_blank">compendium of academic research that says immigration is actually bad.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>14) As <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/the-bourne-coincydink-monday-june?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=166595720&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Jeff Childers in his "Coffee & Covid" notes</a>, there are still new pieces of evidence surfacing about the Minny DemoKKKrat Killer Vance Boelters, including the fact that he had an accomplice drive him around and after committing the murders met a mystery man to purchase a used car for $900.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>o 1) Obviously the bombing or the Iranian nuke facilities has dominated all news. More below under "International News" except to say that this was a stunningly well-concealed raid. <a href="https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2025/06/21/heres-how-the-white-house-pulled-off-a-flawless-strike-on-iran-n4941046" target="_blank">Jennifer Griffen, Faux News correspondent was utterly stunned</a> that there were no leaks and that the first time she heard of the strike (as with everyone else) was when President Trump announced it on Truth. Almost all military people were impressed with the complexity and success of the raid, including <a href="https://x.com/CurtisHouck/status/1936586975043043489?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">this general. </a>The Punisher, <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/hegseth-reveal-92514/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">SecDef Pete Hegseth detailed the extraordinary operation here</a>, noting the complete head fake of B-2s sent to Guam (which did not tip over), <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/06/22/us-news/b-2-bomber-pilots-had-toilet-microwave-and-cooler-for-snacks-on-37-hour-fordow-bombing-raid/" target="_blank">and the B-2s had toilets, microwaves, and coolers for their 37-hour journey</a>. The U.S. also used Tomahawks fired from Ohio-class converted ballistic missile subs took out air defenses, and prepared the battlefield for the B-2s, which unloaded ordnance and returned without a scratch. (By the way, in our history of the Ohio-class subs, <i>Trident</i>, in 1984, Doug Dalgleish and I predicted the conversion of these vessels into cruise-missile launchers.)</p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_d3c084b9c13c4b17a37001ce6cc8cd0e~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_272,h_410,al_c,lg_1,q_80,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_d3c084b9c13c4b17a37001ce6cc8cd0e~mv2.jpg" alt="" /><p><br /> </p><p>2) So what does this mean politically? In an astounding---or predictable---response from DemoKKKrats, some are <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/international/5362767-trump-bombing-iran-nuclear-sites/" target="_blank">calling for Trump's impeachment</a> like Occasional Cortex and <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-went-against-constitution-dem-160342928.html" target="_blank">this guy</a> (nope because Rs, particularly those in the war lobby, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/house/5362425-republicans-trump-us-bombs-iran/" target="_blank">are fully behind Trump on this</a>) and others are denouncing the raid. <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/middle-east/2025/06/21/chuck-schumer-breaks-silence-opposes-trump-attack-on-iran/" target="_blank">Chuck Spewmore</a>, who once claimed to be Israel's "guardian" in the Senate, has also condemned the raid. Now it <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14838469/democrats-busted-fake-claims-trump-warn-iran-airstrikes.html" target="_blank">appears DemoKKKrat claims Trump did not inform them of the attack were lies</a>. So far, only Fetterman Massacre, the Human Ox, has weighed in patriotically and common-sensically. In other words, the DemoKKKrats have missed yet <i><strong>another opportunity to appear to side with the American people against an observable evil and deadly threat.</strong></i> To me, this is really the story. This story, of DemoKKKrat malfeasance, evil, spoogery, and total implosion is the (so far) third biggest story of the 21st century behind 9/11 and the China Virus. If you needed more "pwoof," <a href="https://townhall.com/tipsheet/saraharnold/2025/06/21/no-kings-20-protests-set-for-july-4-because-the-first-one-was-a-bust-n2659196" target="_blank">they are planning another round of "No Kings" marches on the 4th of July </a>because the last one was just so darned effective. And if all this wasn't enough, Texas DemoKKKrats wanted to <a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2025/06/3_things_that_happened_just_this_week_that_tell_us_dems_are_insane.html" target="_blank">allow squatters to STAY in peoples' homes if they went on vacation </a>and returned to find invaders. I'd say allow this legislation only in DemoKKKrat homes.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) What is all of this getting the DemoKKKrats? In PA, <a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2025/06/3_things_that_happened_just_this_week_that_tell_us_dems_are_insane.html" target="_blank">Republicans gained a STUNNING net 5,400 registered voters among active voters in a SINGLE WEEK, </a>The whole numbers are unchanged so far.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Want more evidence that they are so out of touch as to be radioactive? What did the <i>NYSlimes</i> get out of Pete Hegseth's briefing? That <a href="https://x.com/guypbenson/status/1936773888785912006/photo/1" target="_blank">he referred to the "boys" in the B-2s when (possibly) there was one woman</a>. And so, again, they separate themselves from the mainstream of America.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) This is a critically important concept that apparently people keep missing. As the Punisher, Pete Hegseth says, "<a href="https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/pete-hegseth-iran-nuclear-facilities/2025/06/22/id/1215965/" target="_blank">the World should listen when Trump speaks."</a> And it does the other way too: for too long we just (because we wanted to) assumed that the mullahs in Iran didn't mean what they said when they chanted "Death to America." <a href="https://pjmedia.com/rick-moran/2025/06/22/trumps-decision-to-bomb-iran-wouldnt-have-been-necessary-if-his-predecessors-had-taken-action-n4941053" target="_blank">Rick Moran</a> chimes in that Trump's actions were forced by a "generational failure" of American leaders, including Zero, Clinton, Rutabaga, and W, to deal with the issue.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Speaking of "Death to America," there was <a href="https://x.com/CollinRugg/status/1936839283589152995" target="_blank">a failed church shooter in Michigan, </a>where a deacon ran over him with a Ford pickup and a security guard shot him. Heroes!</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Seth Keshel argues that the <a href="https://skeshel.substack.com/p/3-key-reasons-i-believe-the-white?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">White House is dead serious about cracking down on election fraud.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Here, Seth identifies the five key people who should go to jail, including<a href="https://skeshel.substack.com/p/the-five-people-you-meet-in-prison?utm_campaign=email-half-post&r=dx45b&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> Brad Raffensberger and Katie (The Hobbit) Hobbes.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>9) A new study on ChatGPT says <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2506.08872?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">it rewires your brain and leads to cognitive decline.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>10) A Jewish Ohio legislator was <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/gop-hate-92507/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">run off the road by a man in a fit of antisemitic rage. </a>The fellow has an, er, Arabic name. And in New Kabul (NYC),<a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2025/06/a_shock_poll_suggests_that_the_marxist_muslim_zohran_mamdani_will_be_new_york_s_next_mayor.html" target="_blank"> a radical Marxist-Muslim (but aren't they all?) appears to be leading in the mayor's race</a> tomorrow. If it occurs, the first break in monolithic Jewish support for DemoKKKrats may occur.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>11) Growing up in Arizona we always got Los Angeles Dodger baseball feeds.

      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>o 1) Obviously the bombing or the Iranian nuke facilities has dominated all news. More below under "International News" except to say that this was a stunningly well-concealed raid. <a href="https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2025/06/21/heres-how-the-white-house-pulled-off-a-flawless-strike-on-iran-n4941046" target="_blank">Jennifer Griffen, Faux News correspondent was utterly stunned</a> that there were no leaks and that the first time she heard of the strike (as with everyone else) was when President Trump announced it on Truth. Almost all military people were impressed with the complexity and success of the raid, including <a href="https://x.com/CurtisHouck/status/1936586975043043489?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">this general. </a>The Punisher, <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/hegseth-reveal-92514/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">SecDef Pete Hegseth detailed the extraordinary operation here</a>, noting the complete head fake of B-2s sent to Guam (which did not tip over), <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/06/22/us-news/b-2-bomber-pilots-had-toilet-microwave-and-cooler-for-snacks-on-37-hour-fordow-bombing-raid/" target="_blank">and the B-2s had toilets, microwaves, and coolers for their 37-hour journey</a>. The U.S. also used Tomahawks fired from Ohio-class converted ballistic missile subs took out air defenses, and prepared the battlefield for the B-2s, which unloaded ordnance and returned without a scratch. (By the way, in our history of the Ohio-class subs, <i>Trident</i>, in 1984, Doug Dalgleish and I predicted the conversion of these vessels into cruise-missile launchers.)</p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_d3c084b9c13c4b17a37001ce6cc8cd0e~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_272,h_410,al_c,lg_1,q_80,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_d3c084b9c13c4b17a37001ce6cc8cd0e~mv2.jpg" alt="" /><p><br /> </p><p>2) So what does this mean politically? In an astounding---or predictable---response from DemoKKKrats, some are <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/international/5362767-trump-bombing-iran-nuclear-sites/" target="_blank">calling for Trump's impeachment</a> like Occasional Cortex and <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-went-against-constitution-dem-160342928.html" target="_blank">this guy</a> (nope because Rs, particularly those in the war lobby, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/house/5362425-republicans-trump-us-bombs-iran/" target="_blank">are fully behind Trump on this</a>) and others are denouncing the raid. <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/middle-east/2025/06/21/chuck-schumer-breaks-silence-opposes-trump-attack-on-iran/" target="_blank">Chuck Spewmore</a>, who once claimed to be Israel's "guardian" in the Senate, has also condemned the raid. Now it <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14838469/democrats-busted-fake-claims-trump-warn-iran-airstrikes.html" target="_blank">appears DemoKKKrat claims Trump did not inform them of the attack were lies</a>. So far, only Fetterman Massacre, the Human Ox, has weighed in patriotically and common-sensically. In other words, the DemoKKKrats have missed yet <i><strong>another opportunity to appear to side with the American people against an observable evil and deadly threat.</strong></i> To me, this is really the story. This story, of DemoKKKrat malfeasance, evil, spoogery, and total implosion is the (so far) third biggest story of the 21st century behind 9/11 and the China Virus. If you needed more "pwoof," <a href="https://townhall.com/tipsheet/saraharnold/2025/06/21/no-kings-20-protests-set-for-july-4-because-the-first-one-was-a-bust-n2659196" target="_blank">they are planning another round of "No Kings" marches on the 4th of July </a>because the last one was just so darned effective. And if all this wasn't enough, Texas DemoKKKrats wanted to <a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2025/06/3_things_that_happened_just_this_week_that_tell_us_dems_are_insane.html" target="_blank">allow squatters to STAY in peoples' homes if they went on vacation </a>and returned to find invaders. I'd say allow this legislation only in DemoKKKrat homes.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) What is all of this getting the DemoKKKrats? In PA, <a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2025/06/3_things_that_happened_just_this_week_that_tell_us_dems_are_insane.html" target="_blank">Republicans gained a STUNNING net 5,400 registered voters among active voters in a SINGLE WEEK, </a>The whole numbers are unchanged so far.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Want more evidence that they are so out of touch as to be radioactive? What did the <i>NYSlimes</i> get out of Pete Hegseth's briefing? That <a href="https://x.com/guypbenson/status/1936773888785912006/photo/1" target="_blank">he referred to the "boys" in the B-2s when (possibly) there was one woman</a>. And so, again, they separate themselves from the mainstream of America.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) This is a critically important concept that apparently people keep missing. As the Punisher, Pete Hegseth says, "<a href="https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/pete-hegseth-iran-nuclear-facilities/2025/06/22/id/1215965/" target="_blank">the World should listen when Trump speaks."</a> And it does the other way too: for too long we just (because we wanted to) assumed that the mullahs in Iran didn't mean what they said when they chanted "Death to America." <a href="https://pjmedia.com/rick-moran/2025/06/22/trumps-decision-to-bomb-iran-wouldnt-have-been-necessary-if-his-predecessors-had-taken-action-n4941053" target="_blank">Rick Moran</a> chimes in that Trump's actions were forced by a "generational failure" of American leaders, including Zero, Clinton, Rutabaga, and W, to deal with the issue.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Speaking of "Death to America," there was <a href="https://x.com/CollinRugg/status/1936839283589152995" target="_blank">a failed church shooter in Michigan, </a>where a deacon ran over him with a Ford pickup and a security guard shot him. Heroes!</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Seth Keshel argues that the <a href="https://skeshel.substack.com/p/3-key-reasons-i-believe-the-white?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">White House is dead serious about cracking down on election fraud.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Here, Seth identifies the five key people who should go to jail, including<a href="https://skeshel.substack.com/p/the-five-people-you-meet-in-prison?utm_campaign=email-half-post&r=dx45b&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> Brad Raffensberger and Katie (The Hobbit) Hobbes.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>9) A new study on ChatGPT says <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2506.08872?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">it rewires your brain and leads to cognitive decline.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>10) A Jewish Ohio legislator was <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/gop-hate-92507/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">run off the road by a man in a fit of antisemitic rage. </a>The fellow has an, er, Arabic name. And in New Kabul (NYC),<a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2025/06/a_shock_poll_suggests_that_the_marxist_muslim_zohran_mamdani_will_be_new_york_s_next_mayor.html" target="_blank"> a radical Marxist-Muslim (but aren't they all?) appears to be leading in the mayor's race</a> tomorrow. If it occurs, the first break in monolithic Jewish support for DemoKKKrats may occur.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>11) Growing up in Arizona we always got Los Angeles Dodger baseball feeds.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>o 1) Obviously the bombing or the Iranian nuke facilities has dominated all news. More below under "International News" except to say that this was a stunningly well-concealed raid. <a href="https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2025/06/21/heres-how-the-white-house-pulled-off-a-flawless-strike-on-iran-n4941046" target="_blank">Jennifer Griffen, Faux News correspondent was utterly stunned</a> that there were no leaks and that the first time she heard of the strike (as with everyone else) was when President Trump announced it on Truth. Almost all military people were impressed with the complexity and success of the raid, including <a href="https://x.com/CurtisHouck/status/1936586975043043489?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">this general. </a>The Punisher, <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/hegseth-reveal-92514/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">SecDef Pete Hegseth detailed the extraordinary operation here</a>, noting the complete head fake of B-2s sent to Guam (which did not tip over), <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/06/22/us-news/b-2-bomber-pilots-had-toilet-microwave-and-cooler-for-snacks-on-37-hour-fordow-bombing-raid/" target="_blank">and the B-2s had toilets, microwaves, and coolers for their 37-hour journey</a>. The U.S. also used Tomahawks fired from Ohio-class converted ballistic missile subs took out air defenses, and prepared the battlefield for the B-2s, which unloaded ordnance and returned without a scratch. (By the way, in our history of the Ohio-class subs, <i>Trident</i>, in 1984, Doug Dalgleish and I predicted the conversion of these vessels into cruise-missile launchers.)</p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_d3c084b9c13c4b17a37001ce6cc8cd0e~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_272,h_410,al_c,lg_1,q_80,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_d3c084b9c13c4b17a37001ce6cc8cd0e~mv2.jpg" alt="" /><p><br /> </p><p>2) So what does this mean politically? In an astounding---or predictable---response from DemoKKKrats, some are <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/international/5362767-trump-bombing-iran-nuclear-sites/" target="_blank">calling for Trump's impeachment</a> like Occasional Cortex and <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-went-against-constitution-dem-160342928.html" target="_blank">this guy</a> (nope because Rs, particularly those in the war lobby, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/house/5362425-republicans-trump-us-bombs-iran/" target="_blank">are fully behind Trump on this</a>) and others are denouncing the raid. <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/middle-east/2025/06/21/chuck-schumer-breaks-silence-opposes-trump-attack-on-iran/" target="_blank">Chuck Spewmore</a>, who once claimed to be Israel's "guardian" in the Senate, has also condemned the raid. Now it <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14838469/democrats-busted-fake-claims-trump-warn-iran-airstrikes.html" target="_blank">appears DemoKKKrat claims Trump did not inform them of the attack were lies</a>. So far, only Fetterman Massacre, the Human Ox, has weighed in patriotically and common-sensically. In other words, the DemoKKKrats have missed yet <i><strong>another opportunity to appear to side with the American people against an observable evil and deadly threat.</strong></i> To me, this is really the story. This story, of DemoKKKrat malfeasance, evil, spoogery, and total implosion is the (so far) third biggest story of the 21st century behind 9/11 and the China Virus. If you needed more "pwoof," <a href="https://townhall.com/tipsheet/saraharnold/2025/06/21/no-kings-20-protests-set-for-july-4-because-the-first-one-was-a-bust-n2659196" target="_blank">they are planning another round of "No Kings" marches on the 4th of July </a>because the last one was just so darned effective. And if all this wasn't enough, Texas DemoKKKrats wanted to <a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2025/06/3_things_that_happened_just_this_week_that_tell_us_dems_are_insane.html" target="_blank">allow squatters to STAY in peoples' homes if they went on vacation </a>and returned to find invaders. I'd say allow this legislation only in DemoKKKrat homes.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) What is all of this getting the DemoKKKrats? In PA, <a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2025/06/3_things_that_happened_just_this_week_that_tell_us_dems_are_insane.html" target="_blank">Republicans gained a STUNNING net 5,400 registered voters among active voters in a SINGLE WEEK, </a>The whole numbers are unchanged so far.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Want more evidence that they are so out of touch as to be radioactive? What did the <i>NYSlimes</i> get out of Pete Hegseth's briefing? That <a href="https://x.com/guypbenson/status/1936773888785912006/photo/1" target="_blank">he referred to the "boys" in the B-2s when (possibly) there was one woman</a>. And so, again, they separate themselves from the mainstream of America.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) This is a critically important concept that apparently people keep missing. As the Punisher, Pete Hegseth says, "<a href="https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/pete-hegseth-iran-nuclear-facilities/2025/06/22/id/1215965/" target="_blank">the World should listen when Trump speaks."</a> And it does the other way too: for too long we just (because we wanted to) assumed that the mullahs in Iran didn't mean what they said when they chanted "Death to America." <a href="https://pjmedia.com/rick-moran/2025/06/22/trumps-decision-to-bomb-iran-wouldnt-have-been-necessary-if-his-predecessors-had-taken-action-n4941053" target="_blank">Rick Moran</a> chimes in that Trump's actions were forced by a "generational failure" of American leaders, including Zero, Clinton, Rutabaga, and W, to deal with the issue.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Speaking of "Death to America," there was <a href="https://x.com/CollinRugg/status/1936839283589152995" target="_blank">a failed church shooter in Michigan, </a>where a deacon ran over him with a Ford pickup and a security guard shot him. Heroes!</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Seth Keshel argues that the <a href="https://skeshel.substack.com/p/3-key-reasons-i-believe-the-white?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">White House is dead serious about cracking down on election fraud.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Here, Seth identifies the five key people who should go to jail, including<a href="https://skeshel.substack.com/p/the-five-people-you-meet-in-prison?utm_campaign=email-half-post&r=dx45b&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> Brad Raffensberger and Katie (The Hobbit) Hobbes.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>9) A new study on ChatGPT says <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2506.08872?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">it rewires your brain and leads to cognitive decline.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>10) A Jewish Ohio legislator was <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/gop-hate-92507/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">run off the road by a man in a fit of antisemitic rage. </a>The fellow has an, er, Arabic name. And in New Kabul (NYC),<a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2025/06/a_shock_poll_suggests_that_the_marxist_muslim_zohran_mamdani_will_be_new_york_s_next_mayor.html" target="_blank"> a radical Marxist-Muslim (but aren't they all?) appears to be leading in the mayor's race</a> tomorrow.

      <title>Today&apos;s News, June 10-21, 2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) I don't usually look at people on our side and what they are saying, but Brad Polumbo, <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/patriotism-unity/3445358/democrats-political-violence-minnesota-assassinations/?utm_source=deployer&utm_medium=email&utm_content=1750284212&utm_campaign=Restoring-America&utm_term=" target="_blank">in the <i>Washington Examiner</i> </a>says DemoKKKrats must do some "soul searching" about violence and and Victor Davis Hanson asks "<a href="https://amgreatness.com/2025/06/19/can-the-left-ever-stop-its-craziness/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=76373" target="_blank">Can the Left Ever Stop the Craziness</a>?" and my answer is "No. They are way too far invested now in their core civil war topics of climate change, transoidism, illegal criminal aliens, and most of all, of hate Trump. They cannot back out. Only fail, spectacularly." So yesterday's "Liberal Patriot" tells DemoKKKrats that <a href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/no-kings-is-not-enough?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=239058&post_id=166300033&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">"No Kings" is not enough.</a> Hell, "No Kings" is a non-starter for a <i><strong>fundamentally muderous and violent character of the Terrorist DemoKKKrat Party today.</strong></i> The astonishing numbers coming out of Kollyfornia with the county voter roll purges, whcn combined with deportations and self-deportations may take as many as 1 million DemoKKKrats off the rolls there.,</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) It's not that the <i>Washington Compost</i>, which we saw on Wed., or the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/18/us/politics/dnc-ken-martin.html" target="_blank"><i>New York Slimes</i>,</a> aren't doing their best to pull the DemoKKKrats out of the gutter. The <i>Slimes</i> warns that "The DNC is in chaos and desperate for cash." The second big nuke strike on DemoKKKrat fundraising (the first being USAID) has yet to hit, namely the ongoing invetigations of ActBlue. Likewise, this article is misleading:<a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/06/13/dems-rally-flag-00402458" target="_blank"> "DemoKKKrats want to reclaim the flag.</a>" This is the flat they are talking about:</p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_0bfaf9eca0bf4d88aeaa81ff397f10e0~mv2.jpeg/v1/fill/w_371,h_266,al_c,lg_1,q_80,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_0bfaf9eca0bf4d88aeaa81ff397f10e0~mv2.jpeg" alt="" /><p>3) By the way, the <i>Slimes</i> story notes that the youtube show aimed at "young men" is getting 1000 views. My son plays a somewhat niche video game, "Vampire Killer," which has an HOURLY gaming audience of about 3,000. You might check there, DemoKKKrats. But here is just <i>another</i> example of DemoKKKrats doing the exact opposite of what it takes to restore trust in their brand by <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/06/18/democrats-boycott-biden-cognitive-decline-hearing/" target="_blank">boycotting the Rutabaga mental decline Senate hearing.</a> Chris ("The Schlizz") Cilizza says that current DNC head <a href="https://ijr.com/the-bell-tolls-for-thee-ex-cnn-analyst-predicts-dnc-leaders-short-lived-tenure-might-already-be-over/?utm_source=PTN" target="_blank">Ken Martin might not last long.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Trump has reportedly <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/trump-says-iran-reached-out-its-very-late-be-talking?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=4971" target="_blank">approved <i>plans</i> to attack Iran, but has not authorized any such attack yet.</a> He left the door open for attacks in the next "two weeks," a negotiating ploy to get the mullahs to see the light before they feel the heat.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Weird things still happening with the Minny Murders, as <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14825967/minnesota-lawmaker-melissa-hortman-home-burgled-killing-minneapolis-suburb.html" target="_blank">the home of Melissa Hortman, whom Boelters ("ahem") allegedly killed was burgled</a> four days later. What evidence was there in that home that DemoKKKrats needed? And more DemoKKKrat on DemoKKKrat crime here, as <a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/06/ny-prosecuting-attorney-flees-as-illegal-alien-knife/" target="_blank">an illegal alien with a knife chased a NY prosecutor.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>6) The Pentagon says that <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/additional-2000-national-guard-now-deployed-in-los-angeles-pentagon-says-5874792?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">an additional 2,000 National Guard were deployed in LA,</a> bringing the total to nearly 5,000. Meanwhile an Appeals court ruled yet again that <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/19/us/california-national-guard-trump.html?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">President Trump has (for now) authority over the National Guard</a>. By the time they decide otherwise, the riots will be over.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) The FBI has <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/fbi-renews-scrutiny-over-handling-of-2020-election-interference-allegation-against-china-5875657?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-06-20&src_cmp=mb-2025-06-20&utm_medium=email&est=TJI1rbj%2BnO70SKhppHAUJ1uYi0NpDBLfMQ6b%2BB%2FArP6xqJd%2FG%2ByA%2BPRAiFYAnhe%2FfLPwts8%3D" target="_blank">stepped up its investigation of the 2020 election interference by the ChiComs</a>. And don't forget by the FBI itself, guys. Trump says a special <a href="https://protrumpnews.com/special-prosecutor-must-be-appointed-trump-calls-for-special-prosecutor-to-investigate-2020-election-fraud/" target="_blank">prosecutor must be appointed</a>.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) I don't usually look at people on our side and what they are saying, but Brad Polumbo, <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/patriotism-unity/3445358/democrats-political-violence-minnesota-assassinations/?utm_source=deployer&utm_medium=email&utm_content=1750284212&utm_campaign=Restoring-America&utm_term=" target="_blank">in the <i>Washington Examiner</i> </a>says DemoKKKrats must do some "soul searching" about violence and and Victor Davis Hanson asks "<a href="https://amgreatness.com/2025/06/19/can-the-left-ever-stop-its-craziness/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=76373" target="_blank">Can the Left Ever Stop the Craziness</a>?" and my answer is "No. They are way too far invested now in their core civil war topics of climate change, transoidism, illegal criminal aliens, and most of all, of hate Trump. They cannot back out. Only fail, spectacularly." So yesterday's "Liberal Patriot" tells DemoKKKrats that <a href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/no-kings-is-not-enough?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=239058&post_id=166300033&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">"No Kings" is not enough.</a> Hell, "No Kings" is a non-starter for a <i><strong>fundamentally muderous and violent character of the Terrorist DemoKKKrat Party today.</strong></i> The astonishing numbers coming out of Kollyfornia with the county voter roll purges, whcn combined with deportations and self-deportations may take as many as 1 million DemoKKKrats off the rolls there.,</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) It's not that the <i>Washington Compost</i>, which we saw on Wed., or the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/18/us/politics/dnc-ken-martin.html" target="_blank"><i>New York Slimes</i>,</a> aren't doing their best to pull the DemoKKKrats out of the gutter. The <i>Slimes</i> warns that "The DNC is in chaos and desperate for cash." The second big nuke strike on DemoKKKrat fundraising (the first being USAID) has yet to hit, namely the ongoing invetigations of ActBlue. Likewise, this article is misleading:<a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/06/13/dems-rally-flag-00402458" target="_blank"> "DemoKKKrats want to reclaim the flag.</a>" This is the flat they are talking about:</p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_0bfaf9eca0bf4d88aeaa81ff397f10e0~mv2.jpeg/v1/fill/w_371,h_266,al_c,lg_1,q_80,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_0bfaf9eca0bf4d88aeaa81ff397f10e0~mv2.jpeg" alt="" /><p>3) By the way, the <i>Slimes</i> story notes that the youtube show aimed at "young men" is getting 1000 views. My son plays a somewhat niche video game, "Vampire Killer," which has an HOURLY gaming audience of about 3,000. You might check there, DemoKKKrats. But here is just <i>another</i> example of DemoKKKrats doing the exact opposite of what it takes to restore trust in their brand by <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/06/18/democrats-boycott-biden-cognitive-decline-hearing/" target="_blank">boycotting the Rutabaga mental decline Senate hearing.</a> Chris ("The Schlizz") Cilizza says that current DNC head <a href="https://ijr.com/the-bell-tolls-for-thee-ex-cnn-analyst-predicts-dnc-leaders-short-lived-tenure-might-already-be-over/?utm_source=PTN" target="_blank">Ken Martin might not last long.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Trump has reportedly <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/trump-says-iran-reached-out-its-very-late-be-talking?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=4971" target="_blank">approved <i>plans</i> to attack Iran, but has not authorized any such attack yet.</a> He left the door open for attacks in the next "two weeks," a negotiating ploy to get the mullahs to see the light before they feel the heat.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Weird things still happening with the Minny Murders, as <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14825967/minnesota-lawmaker-melissa-hortman-home-burgled-killing-minneapolis-suburb.html" target="_blank">the home of Melissa Hortman, whom Boelters ("ahem") allegedly killed was burgled</a> four days later. What evidence was there in that home that DemoKKKrats needed? And more DemoKKKrat on DemoKKKrat crime here, as <a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/06/ny-prosecuting-attorney-flees-as-illegal-alien-knife/" target="_blank">an illegal alien with a knife chased a NY prosecutor.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>6) The Pentagon says that <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/additional-2000-national-guard-now-deployed-in-los-angeles-pentagon-says-5874792?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">an additional 2,000 National Guard were deployed in LA,</a> bringing the total to nearly 5,000. Meanwhile an Appeals court ruled yet again that <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/19/us/california-national-guard-trump.html?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">President Trump has (for now) authority over the National Guard</a>. By the time they decide otherwise, the riots will be over.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) The FBI has <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/fbi-renews-scrutiny-over-handling-of-2020-election-interference-allegation-against-china-5875657?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-06-20&src_cmp=mb-2025-06-20&utm_medium=email&est=TJI1rbj%2BnO70SKhppHAUJ1uYi0NpDBLfMQ6b%2BB%2FArP6xqJd%2FG%2ByA%2BPRAiFYAnhe%2FfLPwts8%3D" target="_blank">stepped up its investigation of the 2020 election interference by the ChiComs</a>. And don't forget by the FBI itself, guys. Trump says a special <a href="https://protrumpnews.com/special-prosecutor-must-be-appointed-trump-calls-for-special-prosecutor-to-investigate-2020-election-fraud/" target="_blank">prosecutor must be appointed</a>.

      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) I'm a little surprised that nothing happened Monday night, as President Trump put out a Truth <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/trump-says-everyone-should-immediately-evacuate-tehran-5874069?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-06-17&src_cmp=mb-2025-06-17&utm_medium=email&est=Jx%2Flc0nfvoEjWxjwfMrSERbogWfkttXWDF6i3zA8eAR6y8gq8pFrVviNwl7obgrCS0XMi5I%3D" target="_blank">post urging all residents of Tehran to get out.</a> This sounded to me like Israel was ready to drop the nut-cruncher bomb on a facility with radioactive goo. It did NOT sound like the US was getting involved, as Trump again scolded the Mullahs for not taking a deal when they had one.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Trump job approval <a href="https://x.com/ElectionWiz/status/1935158180637548956?t=pU9ik0OIMjbqzV417p-L2w&s=03" target="_blank">at 54%</a>.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) File under my almost daily "DemoKKKrats are sinking faster than P. Diddy's chances of an acquittal": Tampon Timmy, the prancing gheyboy, had called for a "meaner" DemoKKKrat Party til someone got mean with DemoKKKrats and killed four of them. <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/06/16/us-news/gov-tim-walz-walks-back-call-for-meaner-dems-after-minnesota-assassinations/" target="_blank">Now he says DemoKKKrats must lead with "grace and compassion."</a> That would be a first, and impossible for them. Exhibit A: a New York comptroller and mayoral candidate<a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/06/17/watch-here-nyc-comptroller-democratic-mayoral-candidate-arrested/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank"> was arrested by ICE agents for assault.</a> Heck, even the <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/06/17/democrats-dnc-fighting-hogg-martin/" target="_blank"><i>Washington Compost </i></a>admits that DemoKKKrats can't stop fighting themselves. Gee, I think someone here said that back in June o2 2024. Or, as the <i>Compost</i> says, DemoKKKrats are "doubling down and “<i>stifling input</i> from dissenting voices and <i>refusing to change</i> in a way that is risky for future elections.”</p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_b2d5e90d5f34499fa15afd822716784b~mv2.jpeg/v1/fill/w_308,h_223,al_c,lg_1,q_80,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_b2d5e90d5f34499fa15afd822716784b~mv2.jpeg" alt="" /><p>4) Well, this is going to be a bare-knuckle fistfight until this evil witch is put behind bars.

You know, so the cartel can identify them and kill their families. Guess that means the Patriot Front won't be marching there soon.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) FBI Director announced he now has <a href="https://www.news18.com/world/fbis-kash-patel-declassifies-report-on-alleged-chinese-plot-to-influence-2020-us-election-9389854.html?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">full evidence of a ChiCom involvement in the 2020 election</a>, and has declassified them and handed them over to Sen.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) I'm a little surprised that nothing happened Monday night, as President Trump put out a Truth <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/trump-says-everyone-should-immediately-evacuate-tehran-5874069?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-06-17&src_cmp=mb-2025-06-17&utm_medium=email&est=Jx%2Flc0nfvoEjWxjwfMrSERbogWfkttXWDF6i3zA8eAR6y8gq8pFrVviNwl7obgrCS0XMi5I%3D" target="_blank">post urging all residents of Tehran to get out.</a> This sounded to me like Israel was ready to drop the nut-cruncher bomb on a facility with radioactive goo. It did NOT sound like the US was getting involved, as Trump again scolded the Mullahs for not taking a deal when they had one.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Trump job approval <a href="https://x.com/ElectionWiz/status/1935158180637548956?t=pU9ik0OIMjbqzV417p-L2w&s=03" target="_blank">at 54%</a>.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) File under my almost daily "DemoKKKrats are sinking faster than P. Diddy's chances of an acquittal": Tampon Timmy, the prancing gheyboy, had called for a "meaner" DemoKKKrat Party til someone got mean with DemoKKKrats and killed four of them. <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/06/16/us-news/gov-tim-walz-walks-back-call-for-meaner-dems-after-minnesota-assassinations/" target="_blank">Now he says DemoKKKrats must lead with "grace and compassion."</a> That would be a first, and impossible for them. Exhibit A: a New York comptroller and mayoral candidate<a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/06/17/watch-here-nyc-comptroller-democratic-mayoral-candidate-arrested/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank"> was arrested by ICE agents for assault.</a> Heck, even the <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/06/17/democrats-dnc-fighting-hogg-martin/" target="_blank"><i>Washington Compost </i></a>admits that DemoKKKrats can't stop fighting themselves. Gee, I think someone here said that back in June o2 2024. Or, as the <i>Compost</i> says, DemoKKKrats are "doubling down and “<i>stifling input</i> from dissenting voices and <i>refusing to change</i> in a way that is risky for future elections.”</p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_b2d5e90d5f34499fa15afd822716784b~mv2.jpeg/v1/fill/w_308,h_223,al_c,lg_1,q_80,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_b2d5e90d5f34499fa15afd822716784b~mv2.jpeg" alt="" /><p>4) Well, this is going to be a bare-knuckle fistfight until this evil witch is put behind bars.

You know, so the cartel can identify them and kill their families.

      <title>Today&apos;s News, June 16, 2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) I've been sayin' it and sayin' it. The DemoKKKrat Party is a terrorist organization, and exhibit A is <a href="https://americanliberty.news/politics/lawmakers-shot-in-political-attack-linked-to-anti-trump-movement-report/phouck/2025/06/?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=ae01&seyid=75568" target="_blank">Lance Boelter, a demonic spudpumper who shot two people in Minnesota</a>---the top DemoKKKrat in the legislature and her husband in a rage over her vote to not fund illegal criminal alien invaders. (She was the sole DemoKKKrat flip.) He also shot shot state senator John Hoffman (D) and his wife. There was actually a s<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/minnesota-lawmaker-husband-killed-in-targeted-shootings-5872902?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-06-14-1&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-06-14-1&utm_medium=email&est=uasLfLqO1gYIdI%2F46UpDVaaRm5IXC5oXRPtyPy1Iy42QmyudJPnZyhgUmq7FmX4Sz1clUgg%3D" target="_blank">hootout with police, who somehow let this dildopicker get away</a>, but <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/suspect-in-minnesota-lawmaker-shootings-arrested-5873316?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-06-16&src_cmp=mb-2025-06-16&utm_medium=email&est=xgKx%2FwWHSROIcMVTCPA0Mjk4WM8PSTbK0P97CFWwtJ3OC2L4SVAf%2FbaQSUPYRuyQxivKD4Q%3D" target="_blank">he was captured yesterday</a>. Minny gov Tampon Timmy crowed "We got him," after doing nothing to prevent "him." At first it was reported that a death list of 70 pro-life people was found in Boelter's car, along with several handbills for the "No Kings" protests. Now, mysteriously, that has been changed to a list of <i>abortion clinics</i>. Right.. He was an employee of Minnesota Governor Tampon Timmy, serving as an appointed official. <a href="https://x.com/DC_Draino/status/1933920297255670194" target="_blank">He had a police officer's uniform with taser and vest, a plastic mask, and even an SUV that looked like a squad car. </a>This was planned, clear murder by a DEMOKKKRAT TERRORIST. Ol Tampon said "violence cannot be the norm," and MN Senator Amy ("Clubber Lang") Klobuchar says things have "gotten out of hand." but his fungally-infested jar of toadrodents does nothing BUT preach violence vs. Trump and Republicans. They do nothing but preach lies--<a href="https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2025/06/16/merkley-on-mn-lawmaker-shootings-trump-promoted-this-violent-environment/" target="_blank">OR Senator Jeff Merkley blames Trump for "promoting violence."</a> Nope. You moloch-lovers can run but you can't hide. This NC state DemoKKKrat legislator<a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/06/16/state-democrat-lawmaker-faces-backlash-after-posting-image/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank"> posted a shot of a beheaded Trump on her site</a>, and <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/06/15/utah-no-kings-protest-shooting-suspect-identified-as/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">a shooter at a "No Kings" Utah march was a fascist so-called antifa</a> goobermagnet. Shocked, I tell ya. They clearly are losing control of their inhibitions and acting on their normal, fundamentally murderous natures. As J.C. Watts used to say, "What's down in the well comes up in the bucket."</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) By the way, <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/spinning-monday-june-16-2025-c-and?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=166063695&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">this Baal-worshipping chodehumper Boelter had a sprawling estate, five kids,multiple vehicles, had $50,000 cash on him when apprehended . . . yet was unemployed? </a>Are we talking direct payments by S.O.R.O.S. here? As Jeff Childers notes, he looks a lot like wanna-be Trump killer Baby Routh. Despite an "estate" for a home, he even rented a room in North Minny. DemoKKKrat KGB safe house? He worked in food service and funerals---I guess appropriate---but had no "security" skills and his company had no clients. Pam Bondi, where the hell are you?</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Speaking of terrorists, the riots are "a Trump ad" says <a href="https://www.thefp.com/p/la-riots-trump-immigration-democrats?utm_source=x&utm_medium=paid-social&utm_campaign=content&utm_adgroup=ret&utm_content=lariotstrumpad&utm_adid=1932485536150925373" target="_blank">Dem strategist and commonsense writer Ruy Teixeira. "Have the DemoKKKrats learned anything?"</a> he asks. Well, Ruy, they CANNOT. They have been consumed by evil hatred, as I explained last week in my <a href="https://larrys.substack.com/p/the-hate-mongers" target="_blank">substack</a>. Today, <a href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/democrats-must-get-uncomfortable?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=239058&post_id=166043827&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Nate Moore </a>pleads with DemoKKKrats to "get uncomfortable" to win elections (i.e., pretend to be conservatives . . . "Gollum!") The DemoKKKrats are where Muslim mothers were when they prepped their kiddos to be martyrs or suicide bombers. ("When they love their kids more than they hate Israel or America, then they will see peace") When DemoKKKrats love America again more than they hate Trump and Republicans, they might have a hope of saving themselves. I do not see that even on the very far distant horizon. Ruy isn't alone, though: <a href="https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/5350248-no-kings-is-utter-nonsense-but-few-will-notice-this-weekend/" target="_blank">Jonathan Turley </a>notes "Democrats seem to believe that the “death of democracy” theme that failed spectacularly in the last election can now rescue their party from record-low polling." This writer says that the reaction to Trump's use of the National Guard to stop the chowdermonkeys suggests <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/beltway-confidential/3436352/democrats-left-wing-political-violence-problem/?utm_source=deployer&utm_medium=email&utm_content=1749568619&utm_campaign=Beltway+Confidential&utm_term=" target="_blank">they believe their own people are inherently violent.</a> Governor Gruesome, of course, sued to stop Trump from using the National Guard to protect federal buildings, found a favorable judge to issue an injunction, <a href="https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/5343599-judge-rejects-newsom-emergency-request/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">then before the latest ad for AB CRUNCHER 3000 was over, he was overruled by a federal judge</a>. The troops stay under Trump's control for now. In all likelihood, they will remain that way regardless of what happens, as the riots will peter out. <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/10/us/politics/trump-immigration-ice-democrats.html?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">The <i>New York Slimes</i> is smart enough to see a "trap" here</a>, and admits the riotous Soros mobs may be playing into President Trump's hands. Gee, ya think?</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) And the <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/06/15/weingarten-dnc-00407364" target="_blank">latest sign of DemoKKKrat turmoil is the resignation from leadership of Teachers Union comrade Randi Weingarten. </a>And she was<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/15/us/politics/randi-weingarten-dnc-ken-martin.html" target="_blank"> joined by Lee Saunders</a>, head of another big (useless) union. By the way, shades of the "common sense DemoKKKrats," Weingarten called on the DemoKKKrats to widen the tent. What, like kicking the young white guy out of leadership?</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) This is what happens when you let cities like New Kabul (NYC) go to hell. <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/06/15/us-news/nyc-courts-facing-bleak-staffing-crisis-which-union-warns-could-spark-powder-keg-of-violence/" target="_blank">The courts are facing a "bleak" staffing crisis, possibly endangering judges.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>6) There were<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/old-white-boomers-day-antifa-night-no-kings-color-revolution?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=4931" target="_blank"> big "No Kings" marches over the weekend</a>, well, not exactly marches, as many of the marchers needed walkers. It's a movement of angry old white people.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Meanwhile <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/china/fbi-investigating-money-trail-behind-los-angeles-riots-says-patel-5871302?utm_source=China&src_src=China&utm_campaign=uschina-2025-06-12&src_cmp=uschina-2025-06-12&utm_medium=email&est=s0zeRsP50F%2F23ivzui7VO3yMqONzyhu3W0jpgXCM2Qn7FeevCnnc6h6dsIyMf5xkV5kkIoz9" target="_blank">the FBI is investigating the money trail behind the riots</a>. I think it's spelled S.O.R.O.S.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) The American public is apparently much more steady and not prone to hysterics as some of the MAGA influencers are. You know, the "If Trump does x he will lose the base." Some 90% of the base are the "Leave us aloners," who do not want to DO POLITICS every day. Case in point, Trump's<a href="https://x.com/magapolling/status/1933562143099805850?t=uQ1VtdeCkbnTXEtlocX8Uw&s=03" target="_blank"> polling is up 6 (52-46%)</a> in Remington, up 8 in Rasmussen.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) For whatever reason, Kollyfornia is undergoing a voter roll purge.<a href="https://x.com/Shilohmarx/status/1933413839544217900?t=dgUowQPETOH3kLFNtAf0vw&s=03" target="_blank"> So far, 1.285 million dead, Martian, or other have been removed from the rolls.</a> This likely amounts to approximately 500,000 Ds gone, and 300,000 Is and Rs gone, or a net R gain of a couple of hundred thousand. I do not think Los Angeles County has turned in its numbers yet. Between that and illegals leaving/being deported, Kollyfornia is going to see its 3m DemoKKKrat advantage fall to half that---and maybe lower.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) The Trump administration<a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/06/trump-officially-begins-phasing-fema-going-give-less/" target="_blank"> has begun cutting FEMA.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>11) <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jun/11/climate-website-shut-down-noaa?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">America's climate alarmist agency NOAA is likely to be shut down after all staff were fired. </a>Good. Don't promote lies. That's the message.</p><p><br /> </p><p>12) Remember when Libs were miffed because Elon Musk opened Twitter back up to all ideas? They left to form a competitor website "Bluesky." Bluesky may be renamed "DarkSkies" as <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/06/12/bluesky-backfiring-mark-cuban-lack-of-diversity-of-thought-x-users/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">it is crashing from lack of anyone but the craziest of libs.</a> Its use has now fallen by half.</p><p><br /> </p><p>13) A new political science study<a href="https://bpspsychub.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/bjso.12665?utm_medium=email&utm_source=substack" target="_blank"> shows that there is far more diversity of ideas on the right than on the left.</a> Basically, leftists are in the tiniest of bubbles. As Jeff Childers noted, this is really bad news for DemoKKKrats because<a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/man-problems-thursday-june-12-2025?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=165784878&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> it shows they are monolithic in strong agreement around horrible losing positions</a>---exactly what Ruy Teixeira has been shouting. DemoKKKrats, he notes, must <i>enthusiastically</i> endorse them all. <i>Any</i> disagreement is disqualification. You can’t even be neutral." Nothing makes this clearer than the fact that they elected a white male (Lil Hitler, David Hogg) as DNC leader <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5342514-dnc-vice-chair-election-reevaluated/" target="_blank">who now has been forced out and who <i><strong>cheerfully agreed to his own removal because, of course, he's a good communist.</strong></i></a>He is going to support . . . wait for it . . . "aligned" candidates. So they are still trying to <a href="https://theweek.com/politics/democrats-solving-man-problem" target="_blank">solve their man problem</a> . . . by firing a white male. Did someone say "White Chicks?"</p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_e28a691b55474d84bfec08a9fb621fe9~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_674,h_1000,al_c,q_85,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_e28a691b55474d84bfec08a9fb621fe9~mv2.jpg" alt="" /><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>14) The biggest bomb to drop last week was that Trump has<a href="https://archive.is/rsKrk" target="_blank"> "shifted" the deportation focus from farmworkers and hotel worker illegal aliens to the more violent criminals</a>. Predictably MAGA panicans had a meltdown with the totally predictable, "This will cause Trump's base to desert him." Then Zen Master, who usually stays out of non-court things, pointed something out. Trump almost certainly needs Baconboy (Don Bacon, NE) to vote for the BBB. Trump loses St. Thomas on every vote as St. Thomas is NOT "principled" but is a poster dustdimple. When will BBB pass? Probably around Labor Day, as the Senate will send its version back to the House for more negotiations. I imagine Trump's comments are made <i><strong>entirely on Baconboy's behalf</strong></i> so he can go back to his constituents and crow. But the "pause," IMHO, is only going to last until BBB is passed. Then it's back to deportations as usual. That said, I hope people realize that even ICE/DEPORTATION BUDGETS ARE LIMITED, and therefore where do you place your resources? Assuming you can't get all illegals right away, I would much prefer to see the most violent sent packing first. Then comes the "500,000 ChiCom so-called students." What's up with that? Again, I think this is a negotiating ploy for Trump with the ChiComs on the trade deal, which apparently worked. Remember, not a single visa has to be renewed. It would be very easy to begin "expiring" these youts right out of the country without a big scene.</p><p><br /> </p><p>15) A whistleblower has<a href="https://www.themainewire.com/2025/06/exclusive-whistleblower-calls-for-federal-investigation-into-massachusetts-healey-hotel-illegal-immigrant-shelters/" target="_blank"> urged a fed investigation of Massachusetts' "Healy Hotel" </a>illegal immigrant shelters.</p><p><br /> </p><p>16) Lawyer Daniel Street on <a href="https://danielrstreet.substack.com/p/the-new-york-times-bizarre-love-affair?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=865083&post_id=165487296&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">the bizarre love affair between the <i>New York Slimes</i> and illegal criminal invaders.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>17) Ryan Burge: The <a href="https://www.graphsaboutreligion.com/p/how-protestant-denominations-have?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1561197&post_id=162585088&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">black church is slowly moving right.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>18) A <a href="https://christopherrufo.com/p/whistleblower-lockheed-martin-awarded?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1248321&post_id=166005095&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Lockheed whistleblower said the company awarded bonuses based on race.</a> "Dey kain't hep it.

President Trump reportedly vetoed taking out Khameini himself. But as Don Rumsfeld said in the Iraq War, the "enemy always gets a vote," and Iran hit back with (probably) everything it had, including short range ballistic missiles, drones, and hypersonic weapons. It is important to understand that while they scored some hits and did damage, the Iron Dome is NOT designed to shoot down everything, only those incoming missiles that are on a trajectory to strike real targets, not sand. Israeli jets flew in with the support of Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and other Gulf States and lost no planes in the initial action. Of course, the bilge-puddling handwringers in MAGA are squealing about "no more wars" for the US ,<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/israel-proclaims-total-air-superiority-over-iranian-capital-area-war-intensifies?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=4931" target="_blank"> but Trump has kept the U.S. at distance</a> and at the same time warned the mullahs that they will regret ever hitting a U.S. asset.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) I've been sayin' it and sayin' it. The DemoKKKrat Party is a terrorist organization, and exhibit A is <a href="https://americanliberty.news/politics/lawmakers-shot-in-political-attack-linked-to-anti-trump-movement-report/phouck/2025/06/?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=ae01&seyid=75568" target="_blank">Lance Boelter, a demonic spudpumper who shot two people in Minnesota</a>---the top DemoKKKrat in the legislature and her husband in a rage over her vote to not fund illegal criminal alien invaders. (She was the sole DemoKKKrat flip.) He also shot shot state senator John Hoffman (D) and his wife. There was actually a s<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/minnesota-lawmaker-husband-killed-in-targeted-shootings-5872902?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-06-14-1&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-06-14-1&utm_medium=email&est=uasLfLqO1gYIdI%2F46UpDVaaRm5IXC5oXRPtyPy1Iy42QmyudJPnZyhgUmq7FmX4Sz1clUgg%3D" target="_blank">hootout with police, who somehow let this dildopicker get away</a>, but <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/suspect-in-minnesota-lawmaker-shootings-arrested-5873316?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-06-16&src_cmp=mb-2025-06-16&utm_medium=email&est=xgKx%2FwWHSROIcMVTCPA0Mjk4WM8PSTbK0P97CFWwtJ3OC2L4SVAf%2FbaQSUPYRuyQxivKD4Q%3D" target="_blank">he was captured yesterday</a>. Minny gov Tampon Timmy crowed "We got him," after doing nothing to prevent "him." At first it was reported that a death list of 70 pro-life people was found in Boelter's car, along with several handbills for the "No Kings" protests. Now, mysteriously, that has been changed to a list of <i>abortion clinics</i>. Right.. He was an employee of Minnesota Governor Tampon Timmy, serving as an appointed official. <a href="https://x.com/DC_Draino/status/1933920297255670194" target="_blank">He had a police officer's uniform with taser and vest, a plastic mask, and even an SUV that looked like a squad car. </a>This was planned, clear murder by a DEMOKKKRAT TERRORIST. Ol Tampon said "violence cannot be the norm," and MN Senator Amy ("Clubber Lang") Klobuchar says things have "gotten out of hand." but his fungally-infested jar of toadrodents does nothing BUT preach violence vs. Trump and Republicans. They do nothing but preach lies--<a href="https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2025/06/16/merkley-on-mn-lawmaker-shootings-trump-promoted-this-violent-environment/" target="_blank">OR Senator Jeff Merkley blames Trump for "promoting violence."</a> Nope. You moloch-lovers can run but you can't hide. This NC state DemoKKKrat legislator<a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/06/16/state-democrat-lawmaker-faces-backlash-after-posting-image/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank"> posted a shot of a beheaded Trump on her site</a>, and <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/06/15/utah-no-kings-protest-shooting-suspect-identified-as/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">a shooter at a "No Kings" Utah march was a fascist so-called antifa</a> goobermagnet. Shocked, I tell ya. They clearly are losing control of their inhibitions and acting on their normal, fundamentally murderous natures. As J.C. Watts used to say, "What's down in the well comes up in the bucket."</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) By the way, <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/spinning-monday-june-16-2025-c-and?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=166063695&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">this Baal-worshipping chodehumper Boelter had a sprawling estate, five kids,multiple vehicles, had $50,000 cash on him when apprehended . . . yet was unemployed? </a>Are we talking direct payments by S.O.R.O.S. here? As Jeff Childers notes, he looks a lot like wanna-be Trump killer Baby Routh. Despite an "estate" for a home, he even rented a room in North Minny. DemoKKKrat KGB safe house? He worked in food service and funerals---I guess appropriate---but had no "security" skills and his company had no clients. Pam Bondi, where the hell are you?</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Speaking of terrorists, the riots are "a Trump ad" says <a href="https://www.thefp.com/p/la-riots-trump-immigration-democrats?utm_source=x&utm_medium=paid-social&utm_campaign=content&utm_adgroup=ret&utm_content=lariotstrumpad&utm_adid=1932485536150925373" target="_blank">Dem strategist and commonsense writer Ruy Teixeira. "Have the DemoKKKrats learned anything?"</a> he asks. Well, Ruy, they CANNOT. They have been consumed by evil hatred, as I explained last week in my <a href="https://larrys.substack.com/p/the-hate-mongers" target="_blank">substack</a>. Today, <a href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/democrats-must-get-uncomfortable?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=239058&post_id=166043827&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Nate Moore </a>pleads with DemoKKKrats to "get uncomfortable" to win elections (i.e., pretend to be conservatives . . . "Gollum!") The DemoKKKrats are where Muslim mothers were when they prepped their kiddos to be martyrs or suicide bombers. ("When they love their kids more than they hate Israel or America, then they will see peace") When DemoKKKrats love America again more than they hate Trump and Republicans, they might have a hope of saving themselves. I do not see that even on the very far distant horizon. Ruy isn't alone, though: <a href="https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/5350248-no-kings-is-utter-nonsense-but-few-will-notice-this-weekend/" target="_blank">Jonathan Turley </a>notes "Democrats seem to believe that the “death of democracy” theme that failed spectacularly in the last election can now rescue their party from record-low polling." This writer says that the reaction to Trump's use of the National Guard to stop the chowdermonkeys suggests <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/beltway-confidential/3436352/democrats-left-wing-political-violence-problem/?utm_source=deployer&utm_medium=email&utm_content=1749568619&utm_campaign=Beltway+Confidential&utm_term=" target="_blank">they believe their own people are inherently violent.</a> Governor Gruesome, of course, sued to stop Trump from using the National Guard to protect federal buildings, found a favorable judge to issue an injunction, <a href="https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/5343599-judge-rejects-newsom-emergency-request/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">then before the latest ad for AB CRUNCHER 3000 was over, he was overruled by a federal judge</a>. The troops stay under Trump's control for now. In all likelihood, they will remain that way regardless of what happens, as the riots will peter out. <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/10/us/politics/trump-immigration-ice-democrats.html?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">The <i>New York Slimes</i> is smart enough to see a "trap" here</a>, and admits the riotous Soros mobs may be playing into President Trump's hands. Gee, ya think?</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) And the <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/06/15/weingarten-dnc-00407364" target="_blank">latest sign of DemoKKKrat turmoil is the resignation from leadership of Teachers Union comrade Randi Weingarten. </a>And she was<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/15/us/politics/randi-weingarten-dnc-ken-martin.html" target="_blank"> joined by Lee Saunders</a>, head of another big (useless) union. By the way, shades of the "common sense DemoKKKrats," Weingarten called on the DemoKKKrats to widen the tent. What, like kicking the young white guy out of leadership?</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) This is what happens when you let cities like New Kabul (NYC) go to hell. <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/06/15/us-news/nyc-courts-facing-bleak-staffing-crisis-which-union-warns-could-spark-powder-keg-of-violence/" target="_blank">The courts are facing a "bleak" staffing crisis, possibly endangering judges.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>6) There were<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/old-white-boomers-day-antifa-night-no-kings-color-revolution?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=4931" target="_blank"> big "No Kings" marches over the weekend</a>, well, not exactly marches, as many of the marchers needed walkers. It's a movement of angry old white people.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Meanwhile <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/china/fbi-investigating-money-trail-behind-los-angeles-riots-says-patel-5871302?utm_source=China&src_src=China&utm_campaign=uschina-2025-06-12&src_cmp=uschina-2025-06-12&utm_medium=email&est=s0zeRsP50F%2F23ivzui7VO3yMqONzyhu3W0jpgXCM2Qn7FeevCnnc6h6dsIyMf5xkV5kkIoz9" target="_blank">the FBI is investigating the money trail behind the riots</a>. I think it's spelled S.O.R.O.S.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) The American public is apparently much more steady and not prone to hysterics as some of the MAGA influencers are. You know, the "If Trump does x he will lose the base." Some 90% of the base are the "Leave us aloners," who do not want to DO POLITICS every day. Case in point, Trump's<a href="https://x.com/magapolling/status/1933562143099805850?t=uQ1VtdeCkbnTXEtlocX8Uw&s=03" target="_blank"> polling is up 6 (52-46%)</a> in Remington, up 8 in Rasmussen.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) For whatever reason, Kollyfornia is undergoing a voter roll purge.<a href="https://x.com/Shilohmarx/status/1933413839544217900?t=dgUowQPETOH3kLFNtAf0vw&s=03" target="_blank"> So far, 1.285 million dead, Martian, or other have been removed from the rolls.</a> This likely amounts to approximately 500,000 Ds gone, and 300,000 Is and Rs gone, or a net R gain of a couple of hundred thousand. I do not think Los Angeles County has turned in its numbers yet. Between that and illegals leaving/being deported, Kollyfornia is going to see its 3m DemoKKKrat advantage fall to half that---and maybe lower.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) The Trump administration<a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/06/trump-officially-begins-phasing-fema-going-give-less/" target="_blank"> has begun cutting FEMA.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>11) <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jun/11/climate-website-shut-down-noaa?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">America's climate alarmist agency NOAA is likely to be shut down after all staff were fired. </a>Good. Don't promote lies. That's the message.</p><p><br /> </p><p>12) Remember when Libs were miffed because Elon Musk opened Twitter back up to all ideas? They left to form a competitor website "Bluesky." Bluesky may be renamed "DarkSkies" as <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/06/12/bluesky-backfiring-mark-cuban-lack-of-diversity-of-thought-x-users/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">it is crashing from lack of anyone but the craziest of libs.</a> Its use has now fallen by half.</p><p><br /> </p><p>13) A new political science study<a href="https://bpspsychub.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/bjso.12665?utm_medium=email&utm_source=substack" target="_blank"> shows that there is far more diversity of ideas on the right than on the left.</a> Basically, leftists are in the tiniest of bubbles. As Jeff Childers noted, this is really bad news for DemoKKKrats because<a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/man-problems-thursday-june-12-2025?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=165784878&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> it shows they are monolithic in strong agreement around horrible losing positions</a>---exactly what Ruy Teixeira has been shouting. DemoKKKrats, he notes, must <i>enthusiastically</i> endorse them all. <i>Any</i> disagreement is disqualification. You can’t even be neutral." Nothing makes this clearer than the fact that they elected a white male (Lil Hitler, David Hogg) as DNC leader <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5342514-dnc-vice-chair-election-reevaluated/" target="_blank">who now has been forced out and who <i><strong>cheerfully agreed to his own removal because, of course, he's a good communist.</strong></i></a>He is going to support . . . wait for it . . . "aligned" candidates. So they are still trying to <a href="https://theweek.com/politics/democrats-solving-man-problem" target="_blank">solve their man problem</a> . . . by firing a white male. Did someone say "White Chicks?"</p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_e28a691b55474d84bfec08a9fb621fe9~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_674,h_1000,al_c,q_85,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_e28a691b55474d84bfec08a9fb621fe9~mv2.jpg" alt="" /><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>14) The biggest bomb to drop last week was that Trump has<a href="https://archive.is/rsKrk" target="_blank"> "shifted" the deportation focus from farmworkers and hotel worker illegal aliens to the more violent criminals</a>. Predictably MAGA panicans had a meltdown with the totally predictable, "This will cause Trump's base to desert him." Then Zen Master, who usually stays out of non-court things, pointed something out. Trump almost certainly needs Baconboy (Don Bacon, NE) to vote for the BBB. Trump loses St. Thomas on every vote as St. Thomas is NOT "principled" but is a poster dustdimple. When will BBB pass? Probably around Labor Day, as the Senate will send its version back to the House for more negotiations. I imagine Trump's comments are made <i><strong>entirely on Baconboy's behalf</strong></i> so he can go back to his constituents and crow. But the "pause," IMHO, is only going to last until BBB is passed. Then it's back to deportations as usual. That said, I hope people realize that even ICE/DEPORTATION BUDGETS ARE LIMITED, and therefore where do you place your resources? Assuming you can't get all illegals right away, I would much prefer to see the most violent sent packing first. Then comes the "500,000 ChiCom so-called students." What's up with that? Again, I think this is a negotiating ploy for Trump with the ChiComs on the trade deal, which apparently worked. Remember, not a single visa has to be renewed. It would be very easy to begin "expiring" these youts right out of the country without a big scene.</p><p><br /> </p><p>15) A whistleblower has<a href="https://www.themainewire.com/2025/06/exclusive-whistleblower-calls-for-federal-investigation-into-massachusetts-healey-hotel-illegal-immigrant-shelters/" target="_blank"> urged a fed investigation of Massachusetts' "Healy Hotel" </a>illegal immigrant shelters.</p><p><br /> </p><p>16) Lawyer Daniel Street on <a href="https://danielrstreet.substack.com/p/the-new-york-times-bizarre-love-affair?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=865083&post_id=165487296&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">the bizarre love affair between the <i>New York Slimes</i> and illegal criminal invaders.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>17) Ryan Burge: The <a href="https://www.graphsaboutreligion.com/p/how-protestant-denominations-have?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1561197&post_id=162585088&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">black church is slowly moving right.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>18) A <a href="https://christopherrufo.com/p/whistleblower-lockheed-martin-awarded?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1248321&post_id=166005095&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Lockheed whistleblower said the company awarded bonuses based on race.</a> "Dey kain't hep it.

President Trump reportedly vetoed taking out Khameini himself. But as Don Rumsfeld said in the Iraq War, the "enemy always gets a vote," and Iran hit back with (probably) everything it had, including short range ballistic missiles, drones, and hypersonic weapons. It is important to understand that while they scored some hits and did damage, the Iron Dome is NOT designed to shoot down everything, only those incoming missiles that are on a trajectory to strike real targets, not sand. Israeli jets flew in with the support of Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and other Gulf States and lost no planes in the initial action. Of course, the bilge-puddling handwringers in MAGA are squealing about "no more wars" for the US ,<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/israel-proclaims-total-air-superiority-over-iranian-capital-area-war-intensifies?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=4931" target="_blank"> but Trump has kept the U.S. at distance</a> and at the same time warned the mullahs that they will regret ever hitting a U.S. asset.

      <itunes:summary>A chaotic, insult-laced political roundup blames Democrats for violence, corruption, and cultural collapse—citing a Minnesota shooting involving a former state employee, ongoing riots, failing liberal institutions, and elite hypocrisy. Trump is praised for rising poll numbers, strategic deportation shifts, and foreign policy moves like backing Israel’s military strikes. The piece highlights conservative wins in education, economics, and cultural battles (e.g., DEI backlash, failing leftist platforms). There’s also sharp criticism of the trans movement, climate policy, and China Virus vaccine, topped off with bizarre headlines and conspiracy tones. The core claim: Trump’s momentum is growing, while Democrats are imploding.</itunes:summary>

      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) ICE raids in New Azteca (LA) led to <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/marxist-linked-unrest-worsens-los-angeles-amid-coordinated-color-revolution?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=4892" target="_blank">riots and insurrection</a> as U.S. Marshals were not able to contain the situation. <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/national-guard-troops-deploying-to-la-after-violent-anti-ice-demonstrations-homan-5869556?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-06-09&src_cmp=mb-2025-06-09&utm_medium=email&est=hK209NBTqskhoLMBJFbPnpL9xkvKruWAtGfu34bcxtQU6BIJJlLbF0yeiLhskFudHElCb%2B4%3D" target="_blank">President Trump deployed the National Guard, </a>which <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/06/08/us-news/first-national-guard-troops-arrive-in-la-amid-trump-crackdown-on-anti-ice-protests/" target="_blank">began arriving yesterday</a>, while SecDef <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pete-hegseth-puts-nearby-u-s-marines-on-high-alert-as-los-angeles-burns" target="_blank">Pete Hegseth said the Marines were standing by.</a> A leader in fanning the flames is a ChiCom affiliated and fully Kollyfornia-funded <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/06/08/us-news/some-la-migrant-protests-fueled-by-taxpayer-funded-group-with-dem-ties-another-with-ccp-link/?utm_campaign=nypost&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter" target="_blank">Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights,</a> something that the Uyghers or Falun Gong have never heard of. So, the definition of liberal insanity is that Kollyfornia is paying protesters and then paying the cops to keep them in line. At any rate, the so-called "peaceful protesters" <a href="https://x.com/CollinRugg/status/1931917883527123070?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">are now using weapons against cops, says the LAPD chief.</a> But LA mayor <a href="https://citizenwatchreport.com/leaked-reports-confirm-la-mayor-karen-bass-ordered-lapd-to-stand-down-blocking-aid-to-federal-officers-during-riots/" target="_blank">Karen Ass ordered the cops to stand down.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) None of this is helping the DemoKKKrats. First, <a href="https://x.com/politico/status/1931351101304905817?t=KKDS-5TlkQQgl2OJMLO7Yw&s=03" target="_blank">they are scrambling to "unwoke" themselves</a>---with no success. Then both New Azteca (LA) <a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/stephen-miller-smacks-down-la-mayor-after-anti-ice-riots-you-have-no-say-cmc/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank">Mayor Karen Ass</a> and Kollyfornia <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/06/08/california-governor-gavin-newsom-responds-president-trump-deploying/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">Governor Gruesome </a>sided with the protesters (naturally). Hence, DemoKKKrat Civil War <a href="https://www.wildworldofpolitics.com/blog/hashtags/2">#2</a> accelerates again. This idiot <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2025/06/08/dem-rep-barragan-trump-is-targeting-peaceful-protests-in-los-angeles/" target="_blank">congresschewtoy</a> complains that Trump is "targeting peaceful protests." Gooooood. Likewise, Schiffty the Human Lemur defended the insurrection. DemoKKKrat Congressman<a href="https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2025/06/07/dem-rep-garcia-la-ice-raids-shameful-if-you-are-here-illegally-you-deserve-due-process/" target="_blank"> Robert Garcia</a>, in the epitome of stupidity, said "If you are here illegally, you deserve due process." Say what? The very definition of "illegal alien" is that you have no due process rights! <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/immigration/2025/06/06/doj-returns-kilmar-abrego-garcia-to-u-s-to-face-human-smuggling-charges/" target="_blank">Senator Chris Van Hollen</a> (NJ) who flew to El Salvador to visit illegal criminal invader Kilmar Garcia, said he won't apologize now that Garcia is being returned and charged in Tennessee for human trafficking. Another New Jerseyite, <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1931775426046591369" target="_blank">Senator BookerT&theMSGs</a> said the protests were "peaceful." Senator <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1932050794578063493" target="_blank">Chris Murphy of CT</a> wants ICE protests in all cities. James Brown (aka, <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1931779006216724824" target="_blank">Maxine Waters</a>) also joined in.I guess it was a bunch of EVs that just set themselves on fire. But hey, DemoKKKrats, continue to alienate people on this issue. Even CNN found that 56% support deporting all illegal invaders. So, that's right, DemoKKKrats:. stand up for murderers and kiddie-traffickers. Heck,<a href="https://www.youtube.com/shorts/00A47Gw731s" target="_blank"> this moronic VT DemoKKKrat warns we won't have enough illegal aliens to "wipe our asses." </a>Sorry toots. I don't have a lot of talent but I can do that. Voters support Trump overwhelmingly on illegal criminal immigration.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Meanwhile, the DemoKKKrats continue to flounder, seeking answers for the missing male voters. DemoKKKrat strategist <a href="https://americafirstreport.com/never-going-to-get-them-back-democrats-own-strategists-say-their-efforts-to-win-back-male-voters-are-doomed/?utm_source=econ" target="_blank">Chuck Rocha told the <i>Hill</i>, "You're never going to get them back."</a> As seen in the voter registration numbers:</p><p>s. Now, <a href="https://x.com/WinWithJMC/status/1931318619872391179" target="_blank">NC is down to just a 21,000 D lead, which just a few years ago was 175,000.</a> Seth Keshel reports that Republicans made <i>net gains in all states reporting since the elections, totaling a shocking +1.05 million net advantage over DemoKKKrats. </i>Think of that. If added to last year's total, Trump would have won the popular vote by 3 million and been <i><strong>over 50%</strong></i>.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) It's so bad the new DNC chairspooge <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/06/08/martin-hogg-call-private-meeting-00393517" target="_blank">is thinking of quitting</a>, citing turmoil caused by Lil' Hitler (David Hogg). Don't believe it for a minute. It's the FIVE DemoKKKrat Civil Wars.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Finally a little justice, as this <a href="https://x.com/kyledcheney/status/1931121889637998667?t=Nq0czRyFN38sTWTCRMdYMg&s=03" target="_blank">judge dismissed the criminal charge against J6 (Patriot Day) Elias Costianes, who was hit with gun charges</a> after a raid on his house. The judge said that President Trump's pardon does not cover the gun issues, but said the DOJ's decision to drop the case is final.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) The <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/supreme-court-sides-with-doge-in-social-security-records-cases-5869123?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-06-07&src_cmp=mb-2025-06-07&utm_medium=email&est=S4r0uD9bw2%2BmFa67lfb%2B4WZnsiTkj%2FlNzrdwT5up0qHNtJA2dl6bbb6DSbq0txN2VRNs3vI%3D" target="_blank">Supes handed DOGE two big wins</a>, allowing access to Social Security files and blocking a FOIA lawsuit. Meanwhile, the <i>New York Slimes</i> reluctantly writes that Musk may be out but "<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/07/us/politics/trump-musk-doge-interior-epa.html" target="_blank">DOGE is just getting started."</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>7) The forgotten Civil War <a href="https://www.wildworldofpolitics.com/blog/hashtags/1">#1</a> for the DemoKKKrats, namely the Jews/Israel, also flared up as a <a href="https://www.jewishpress.com/news/jewish-news/antisemitism-news/major-pro-israel-summit-in-texas-canceled-due-to-security-threats/2025/06/06/" target="_blank">pro-Israel summit in Texas had to be canceled due to "security threats."</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>8) In a story that everyone has basically forgotten about now, Steve Bannon, via Laura Loomer, <a href="https://x.com/lauraloomer/status/1931369611552751847?s=46&t=oXM3QUNDayEotvdo1W-zQA" target="_blank">reported that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Elon Musk got physical during a meeting</a>. Musk did have a black eye, which he attributed to his son. Even as the New Azteca riots drove the Musk/Trump "feud" (although Musk is the only one feuding) off the front page, a new Democracy Institute poll finds that<a href="https://www.the-express.com/news/politics/174208/elon-musk-donald-trump-federal-contracts-poll" target="_blank"> Americans to the tune of 80% want Trump to cancel Elon's contracts.</a> Yikes!</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) Speaking of criminals, <a href="https://ktla.com/news/local-news/riverside-county-death-sentence-inmate-killed-30-men-attack-murder-suspect/" target="_blank">an inmate was killed by a "mob" in prison while on death row.</a> It seems after shooting a 15-year-old boy, the man ordered an accomplice to shoot a 14-year-old girl and he refused. Justice served, taxpayer money saved.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) A fame-seeking teen <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/06/06/us-news/renna-orourke-dies-attempting-dangerous-online-dusting-challenge/" target="_blank">filming herself doing a "dusting" challenge</a> died after inhaling the cleaning spray.</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) The <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/report-ordered-92163/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">FBI investigation into the White House cocaine </a>says that the Secret Service ordered the immediate destruction of it. So Hunter is safe!</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>12) The first National Guard troops arrived in New Azteca after being nationalized by President Trump. Fix bayonets, boys. So far, <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/immigration/2025/06/07/video-45-arrested-during-l-a-ice-raids-as-anti-police-leftists-violently-protest/" target="_blank">only 45 have been arrested.</a> I say, add some zeros.</p><p><br /> </p><p>13) <a href="https://protrumpnews.com/us-remittances-to-mexico-drops-most-in-over-a-decade/" target="_blank">U.S. remittances to Me-hee-co dropped</a> the most in over a decade. This one is really damaging to Me-hee-co, as remittances are a major revenue source (come claim <a href="https://www.wildworldofpolitics.com/blog/hashtags/2">#2</a> revenue source).</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>14) President Trump <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/06/06/trump-regulations-aviation-tech-flying-cars/" target="_blank">signed executive orders opening the skies to more drones and even flying cars.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>15) Well, that didn't last long. <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/san-francisco-school-district-ditches-proposed-grading-equity-program-after-backlash-from-community" target="_blank">Groomer City (SF) quickly ditched its attempt to have "grade equity"</a> (i.e., no Fs, everyone got Cs, etc) after community backlash. Oh, they'll just implement it another way. You voters better figger that out.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN TRANSOID NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>16) Former Olympic gold gymnast Simone Biles, who abruptly quit due to mental issues, <a href="https://jennifersey.substack.com/p/simone-biles-attacked-riley-gaines?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=904886&post_id=165424784&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">attacked Olympic gold swimmer Riley Gaines</a> as being "masculine" for defending girls competing against men in female sports.</p><p><br /> </p><p>17) Britain's <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/nhs-body-quietly-withdraws-guidance-over-bathroom-use-for-trans-people/ar-AA1Ge924" target="_blank">National Health Service has "quietly" backed away from "guidance" on Transoids using bathrooms</a> of other sexes.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ECONOMIC NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>18) So, this is pretty big. <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/article/data-center-construction-boom-faces-local-resistance-in-28-states-5867355?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-06-09&src_cmp=mb-2025-06-09&utm_medium=email&est=mPQl1wSgVYOnPLD9AvFh18EQj076nKg2QW7Zh9pLgPNZ9ntdIfJ2Qv3mY7NXVcM9R6uLOio%3D" target="_blank">Currently HALF the AI data centers in the world are in the U.S</a>.

Meanwhile, the Russkies conducted a second night of large-scale bombing of Ukrainian targets. Trump said the Ukes <a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/06/russian-massive-retaliation-air-raid-campaign-continues-unabated/" target="_blank">"gave Putin a reason to gon in and bomb the hell out of them."</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>24) The <a href="https://x.com/arnemx/status/1931721420343492959" target="_blank">President of Me-hee-co doesn't want remittances from the US to Me-hee-co taxed.</a> Tough. Don't eff around with us. We occupied your third world capital in the Mexican War and generously gave it back. Next time we might just make you a permanent protectorate. Sorta like Guam, but you can't tip over. By the way, these remittances are one of Me-hee-co's leading income streams. How sad is that? And countries like Me-hee-co, which want the U.S. taxpayers to NOT tax remittances, themselves tax remittances when they arrive.</p><p><br /> </p><p>25) Wow. 7<a href="https://x.com/HoodedClaw1974/status/1931630733753241969?t=CM_dyquxXzpK_K0RYsYD3A&s=03" target="_blank">2 schools in England have no white British kids, and 454 have fewer than 2%.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>26) Oh, <a href="https://deadline.com/2025/06/abc-news-suspends-terry-moran-trump-stephen-miller-1236426913/" target="_blank">ABC has only "suspended" reporter Terry Moran</a> for lambasting Steven Miller and President Trump as "haters."

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) ICE raids in New Azteca (LA) led to <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/marxist-linked-unrest-worsens-los-angeles-amid-coordinated-color-revolution?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=4892" target="_blank">riots and insurrection</a> as U.S. Marshals were not able to contain the situation. <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/national-guard-troops-deploying-to-la-after-violent-anti-ice-demonstrations-homan-5869556?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-06-09&src_cmp=mb-2025-06-09&utm_medium=email&est=hK209NBTqskhoLMBJFbPnpL9xkvKruWAtGfu34bcxtQU6BIJJlLbF0yeiLhskFudHElCb%2B4%3D" target="_blank">President Trump deployed the National Guard, </a>which <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/06/08/us-news/first-national-guard-troops-arrive-in-la-amid-trump-crackdown-on-anti-ice-protests/" target="_blank">began arriving yesterday</a>, while SecDef <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pete-hegseth-puts-nearby-u-s-marines-on-high-alert-as-los-angeles-burns" target="_blank">Pete Hegseth said the Marines were standing by.</a> A leader in fanning the flames is a ChiCom affiliated and fully Kollyfornia-funded <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/06/08/us-news/some-la-migrant-protests-fueled-by-taxpayer-funded-group-with-dem-ties-another-with-ccp-link/?utm_campaign=nypost&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter" target="_blank">Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights,</a> something that the Uyghers or Falun Gong have never heard of. So, the definition of liberal insanity is that Kollyfornia is paying protesters and then paying the cops to keep them in line. At any rate, the so-called "peaceful protesters" <a href="https://x.com/CollinRugg/status/1931917883527123070?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">are now using weapons against cops, says the LAPD chief.</a> But LA mayor <a href="https://citizenwatchreport.com/leaked-reports-confirm-la-mayor-karen-bass-ordered-lapd-to-stand-down-blocking-aid-to-federal-officers-during-riots/" target="_blank">Karen Ass ordered the cops to stand down.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) None of this is helping the DemoKKKrats. First, <a href="https://x.com/politico/status/1931351101304905817?t=KKDS-5TlkQQgl2OJMLO7Yw&s=03" target="_blank">they are scrambling to "unwoke" themselves</a>---with no success. Then both New Azteca (LA) <a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/stephen-miller-smacks-down-la-mayor-after-anti-ice-riots-you-have-no-say-cmc/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank">Mayor Karen Ass</a> and Kollyfornia <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/06/08/california-governor-gavin-newsom-responds-president-trump-deploying/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">Governor Gruesome </a>sided with the protesters (naturally). Hence, DemoKKKrat Civil War <a href="https://www.wildworldofpolitics.com/blog/hashtags/2">#2</a> accelerates again. This idiot <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2025/06/08/dem-rep-barragan-trump-is-targeting-peaceful-protests-in-los-angeles/" target="_blank">congresschewtoy</a> complains that Trump is "targeting peaceful protests." Gooooood. Likewise, Schiffty the Human Lemur defended the insurrection. DemoKKKrat Congressman<a href="https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2025/06/07/dem-rep-garcia-la-ice-raids-shameful-if-you-are-here-illegally-you-deserve-due-process/" target="_blank"> Robert Garcia</a>, in the epitome of stupidity, said "If you are here illegally, you deserve due process." Say what? The very definition of "illegal alien" is that you have no due process rights! <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/immigration/2025/06/06/doj-returns-kilmar-abrego-garcia-to-u-s-to-face-human-smuggling-charges/" target="_blank">Senator Chris Van Hollen</a> (NJ) who flew to El Salvador to visit illegal criminal invader Kilmar Garcia, said he won't apologize now that Garcia is being returned and charged in Tennessee for human trafficking. Another New Jerseyite, <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1931775426046591369" target="_blank">Senator BookerT&theMSGs</a> said the protests were "peaceful." Senator <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1932050794578063493" target="_blank">Chris Murphy of CT</a> wants ICE protests in all cities. James Brown (aka, <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1931779006216724824" target="_blank">Maxine Waters</a>) also joined in.I guess it was a bunch of EVs that just set themselves on fire. But hey, DemoKKKrats, continue to alienate people on this issue. Even CNN found that 56% support deporting all illegal invaders. So, that's right, DemoKKKrats:. stand up for murderers and kiddie-traffickers. Heck,<a href="https://www.youtube.com/shorts/00A47Gw731s" target="_blank"> this moronic VT DemoKKKrat warns we won't have enough illegal aliens to "wipe our asses." </a>Sorry toots. I don't have a lot of talent but I can do that. Voters support Trump overwhelmingly on illegal criminal immigration.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Meanwhile, the DemoKKKrats continue to flounder, seeking answers for the missing male voters. DemoKKKrat strategist <a href="https://americafirstreport.com/never-going-to-get-them-back-democrats-own-strategists-say-their-efforts-to-win-back-male-voters-are-doomed/?utm_source=econ" target="_blank">Chuck Rocha told the <i>Hill</i>, "You're never going to get them back."</a> As seen in the voter registration numbers:</p><p>s. Now, <a href="https://x.com/WinWithJMC/status/1931318619872391179" target="_blank">NC is down to just a 21,000 D lead, which just a few years ago was 175,000.</a> Seth Keshel reports that Republicans made <i>net gains in all states reporting since the elections, totaling a shocking +1.05 million net advantage over DemoKKKrats. </i>Think of that. If added to last year's total, Trump would have won the popular vote by 3 million and been <i><strong>over 50%</strong></i>.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) It's so bad the new DNC chairspooge <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/06/08/martin-hogg-call-private-meeting-00393517" target="_blank">is thinking of quitting</a>, citing turmoil caused by Lil' Hitler (David Hogg). Don't believe it for a minute. It's the FIVE DemoKKKrat Civil Wars.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Finally a little justice, as this <a href="https://x.com/kyledcheney/status/1931121889637998667?t=Nq0czRyFN38sTWTCRMdYMg&s=03" target="_blank">judge dismissed the criminal charge against J6 (Patriot Day) Elias Costianes, who was hit with gun charges</a> after a raid on his house. The judge said that President Trump's pardon does not cover the gun issues, but said the DOJ's decision to drop the case is final.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) The <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/supreme-court-sides-with-doge-in-social-security-records-cases-5869123?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-06-07&src_cmp=mb-2025-06-07&utm_medium=email&est=S4r0uD9bw2%2BmFa67lfb%2B4WZnsiTkj%2FlNzrdwT5up0qHNtJA2dl6bbb6DSbq0txN2VRNs3vI%3D" target="_blank">Supes handed DOGE two big wins</a>, allowing access to Social Security files and blocking a FOIA lawsuit. Meanwhile, the <i>New York Slimes</i> reluctantly writes that Musk may be out but "<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/07/us/politics/trump-musk-doge-interior-epa.html" target="_blank">DOGE is just getting started."</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>7) The forgotten Civil War <a href="https://www.wildworldofpolitics.com/blog/hashtags/1">#1</a> for the DemoKKKrats, namely the Jews/Israel, also flared up as a <a href="https://www.jewishpress.com/news/jewish-news/antisemitism-news/major-pro-israel-summit-in-texas-canceled-due-to-security-threats/2025/06/06/" target="_blank">pro-Israel summit in Texas had to be canceled due to "security threats."</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>8) In a story that everyone has basically forgotten about now, Steve Bannon, via Laura Loomer, <a href="https://x.com/lauraloomer/status/1931369611552751847?s=46&t=oXM3QUNDayEotvdo1W-zQA" target="_blank">reported that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Elon Musk got physical during a meeting</a>. Musk did have a black eye, which he attributed to his son. Even as the New Azteca riots drove the Musk/Trump "feud" (although Musk is the only one feuding) off the front page, a new Democracy Institute poll finds that<a href="https://www.the-express.com/news/politics/174208/elon-musk-donald-trump-federal-contracts-poll" target="_blank"> Americans to the tune of 80% want Trump to cancel Elon's contracts.</a> Yikes!</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) Speaking of criminals, <a href="https://ktla.com/news/local-news/riverside-county-death-sentence-inmate-killed-30-men-attack-murder-suspect/" target="_blank">an inmate was killed by a "mob" in prison while on death row.</a> It seems after shooting a 15-year-old boy, the man ordered an accomplice to shoot a 14-year-old girl and he refused. Justice served, taxpayer money saved.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) A fame-seeking teen <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/06/06/us-news/renna-orourke-dies-attempting-dangerous-online-dusting-challenge/" target="_blank">filming herself doing a "dusting" challenge</a> died after inhaling the cleaning spray.</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) The <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/report-ordered-92163/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">FBI investigation into the White House cocaine </a>says that the Secret Service ordered the immediate destruction of it. So Hunter is safe!</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>12) The first National Guard troops arrived in New Azteca after being nationalized by President Trump. Fix bayonets, boys. So far, <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/immigration/2025/06/07/video-45-arrested-during-l-a-ice-raids-as-anti-police-leftists-violently-protest/" target="_blank">only 45 have been arrested.</a> I say, add some zeros.</p><p><br /> </p><p>13) <a href="https://protrumpnews.com/us-remittances-to-mexico-drops-most-in-over-a-decade/" target="_blank">U.S. remittances to Me-hee-co dropped</a> the most in over a decade. This one is really damaging to Me-hee-co, as remittances are a major revenue source (come claim <a href="https://www.wildworldofpolitics.com/blog/hashtags/2">#2</a> revenue source).</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>14) President Trump <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/06/06/trump-regulations-aviation-tech-flying-cars/" target="_blank">signed executive orders opening the skies to more drones and even flying cars.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>15) Well, that didn't last long. <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/san-francisco-school-district-ditches-proposed-grading-equity-program-after-backlash-from-community" target="_blank">Groomer City (SF) quickly ditched its attempt to have "grade equity"</a> (i.e., no Fs, everyone got Cs, etc) after community backlash. Oh, they'll just implement it another way.

Sorta like Guam, but you can't tip over. By the way, these remittances are one of Me-hee-co's leading income streams. How sad is that? And countries like Me-hee-co, which want the U.S. taxpayers to NOT tax remittances, themselves tax remittances when they arrive.</p><p><br /> </p><p>25) Wow. 7<a href="https://x.com/HoodedClaw1974/status/1931630733753241969?t=CM_dyquxXzpK_K0RYsYD3A&s=03" target="_blank">2 schools in England have no white British kids, and 454 have fewer than 2%.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>26) Oh, <a href="https://deadline.com/2025/06/abc-news-suspends-terry-moran-trump-stephen-miller-1236426913/" target="_blank">ABC has only "suspended" reporter Terry Moran</a> for lambasting Steven Miller and President Trump as "haters."

      <title>Today&apos;s News, June 5-6, 2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Now for some voter registration updates: We have<a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1930263268137857393?t=NPiA-OnvpaKsfdhaQREivw&s=03" target="_blank"> MD</a>, where DemoKKKrats actually outregistered Rs by about 400; in <a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1930323667675689183" target="_blank">DE</a> Rs picked up 7,700 net with both parties' registrations falling but as I show below, the long-term these are still a net loss for Ds. And we have this excellent update from <a href="https://skeshel.substack.com/p/june-2025-voter-registration-by-party?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=798984&post_id=165230486&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Seth Keshel</a>, showing November to June shifts: in FL, from +7.5 to 9.4% R; in IA +10.3 to 10.8% R (<a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1930338766620672072?t=UTDJNZfPuEsDVC0YyWfivg&s=03" target="_blank">IA gained about 1,000 net new Rs last month</a>); in PA +3.1 to 2.0% D; in NC +1.3 to .03% D; R; in AZ 6.8% to 7.0% R; and NV _.05% D to tied. Meanwhile, in a voter roll purge, Kollyfornia just removed 1.2 <i>million </i>inactive voters. That probably works out a net R gain of about 200,000. This apparently does NOT include Los Angeles County. More <a href="https://skeshel.substack.com/p/june-2025-voter-registration-by-party-023?utm_campaign=email-half-post&r=dx45b&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">voter registration numbers on blue states here by Seth Keshel</a>, this time of DemoKKKrat states. Surprise, surprise. They are ALL losing DemoKKKrat voters---New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, New Mexico, Maine Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Colorado. ALL OF THEM. New Mexico is now down to D+11, New Jersey at D+12. Keshel sees both as being battleground states in 2028.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Meanwhile, <a href="https://x.com/QuantusInsights/status/1931050009493180505" target="_blank">Trump back above water in the polling AVERAGES including even the chokesmoker polls.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Here are <a href="https://x.com/charliekirk11/status/1930402626090479622" target="_blank">FIFTY major wins</a> in the Big Beautiful Bill. But<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/blue-state-republicans-threaten-rebellion-senate-changes-key-provision-trumps-big-beautiful-bill" target="_blank"> blue state Republicans are whining about the reduction in the "SALT" deductions</a> and saying they won't pass "BBB" unless those are eliminated. SALT is "state and local taxes" which were allowed to be deducted prior to Trump. Basically, blue states get away with outrageously high taxes in part because the state taxes can be deducted from the federal tax. In other words, Trump wants to make the blue states really fell the pain they are inflicting, and the toadies from those states object.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) The "Common Sense" DemoKKKrats, such as <a href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/net-zero-is-a-net-loser-for-democrats?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=239058&post_id=165241978&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Ruy Teixeira, whom no one will listen to, warn that "net zero" is a net loser</a>. Yep. It's Civil War <a href="https://www.wildworldofpolitics.com/blog/hashtags/3">#3</a> for DemoKKKrats: Tech Bros/AI v. Greenies.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) So much for "Trump's tariffs will add to the deficit." The <a href="https://x.com/ByronYork/status/1930314935977791886" target="_blank">CBO says that by 2035 tariffs will add $2.8 trillion in new revenues.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>6) It's too bad. Steve Bannon is looking like a Cheshire Cat in his criticisms of <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1930669642743222373" target="_blank">Elon Musk, who has gone off the deep end</a>, no criticizing President Trump directly over the BBB and saying that Trump would have lost the election without him. Sorry, Elon. You were valued. But Just as in 2016 I thought that ONLY Steve Bannon saved the campaign, but that Jared Kushner was absolutely critical to getting Trump the money to win, so in 2024 the two biggest players were Scott Pressler, who almost singlehandedly flipped PA to Trump, and Susy Wiles, who kept Trump ON MESSAGE and ON TARGET. You were important, Elon, but they were key. Meanwhile, <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/06/05/tesla-crashes-as-musk-turns-against-trump-and-gop-tax-cut-bill/" target="_blank">Tesla's stock has plunged.</a> Business-wise, this was a dumb move for Elon. He already had DemoKKKrats hating him and destroying Teslas. Now he wants MAGA to join in? Let's hope this is all just a rock-band bromance-gone-sour and that it will all be patched up. Course, Bannon is calling on Musk to be deported! And <a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/sick-and-evil-democrat-party-shredded-for-flipping-on-hot-button-issue-micca/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank">DemoKKKrats now want the Epstein files released</a>. Gee, almost like Trump planned this. If Dems succeed in "forcing" Trump to publish the Epstein files, it will be the biggest "briar patch" moment in political history.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Well all right then. <a href="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://cl.notthebee.com/c/7/eyJhaSI6OTM0MDM5NzAsImUiOiJsYXJyeXNjaHdlaWthcnRAZ21haWwuY29tIiwicmkiOiIxNjg4NDMzNzc0IiwicnEiOiIwMi1iMjUxNTYtYTY2MmUzNDQxOTlkNGI4ODk4YTE0ODE0NjU0NjNmZjMiLCJtIjpmYWxzZSwidWkiOiIiLCJ1biI6IiIsInUiOiJodHRwczovL25vdHRoZWJlZS5jb20vYXJ0aWNsZS90ZXhhcy1tYW4tYXJyZXN0ZWQtYWZ0ZXItYnJlYWtpbmctaW50by1tYXItYS1sYWdvLWhvcGluZy10by1tYXJyeS1kb25hbGQtdHJ1bXA_dXRtX3NvdXJjZT1Ob3QrVGhlK0JlZStOZXdzbGV0dGVyJnV0bV9tZWRpdW09ZW1haWwmdXRtX2NhbXBhaWduPTA2MDUyMDI1In0/2JMzto6MozMLSo0AsetGAQ&source=gmail&ust=1749221983327000&usg=AOvVaw13_tw65eGxMuflO4QCTI0_" target="_blank">A Texas man broke into Mar-a-Lago to "share the Gospel" and marry Trump's granddaughter</a>.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Took them long enough. The <a href="https://www.wsj.com/opinion/the-american-political-realignment-is-real-voter-patterns-election-af0ff62e?st=xNHCuc&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink" target="_blank"><i>Wall Street Journal </i></a>admits the Trump political realignment is "real."</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) <a href="https://x.com/earlyvotedata/status/1930628640691384540" target="_blank">Supes unanimously rule (dang: ACB rules right yet again) that Smith & Wesson and other gun manufacturers cannot be held liable in Me-hee-co.</a> Sorry, my south-of-the-border friends, you'll have to get money from somewhere else. In another <a href="https://x.com/PollTracker2024/status/1930627340108812789" target="_blank">unanimous ruling the Supes said that heterosexuals cannot be held to a higher standard for claiming discrimination than transoid/homosexuals.</a> In yet another unanimous ruling, the Court said that <a href="https://x.com/varadmehta/status/1930629655859511551" target="_blank">WI supreme court violated the First Amendment rights of Catholic Charities in the state by requiring it to pay into the state's unemployment insurance system</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>10) President Trump <a href="https://protrumpnews.com/fulfilling-his-promise-to-protect-americans-donald-trump-bans-travel-from-12-countries/" target="_blank">banned entry into the US for people from 12 countries </a>that are "high risk" and have partial restrictions on travel from seven others.</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) The <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/energy-signing-92055/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">autopen scandal widens</a> as a watchdog group says there is "no evidence' Rutabaga knew about the so-called "clean energy" executive orders. Rutabaga insists he "made the decisions" but doesn't say he signed them, while <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/06/04/breaking-president-trump-officially-orders-full-investigation-biden/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">Trump orders a full investigation.</a> Rutabaga's <a href="https://www.nysun.com/article/comer-subpoenas-bidens-white-house-physician-as-part-of-the-expanding-probe-of-former-presidents-mental-decline?lctg=1679237530&recognized_email=larryschweikart%40gmail.com&utm_source=MG&utm_medium=email-newsletter&utm_campaign=Morning%20Sun%20%202025-06-06" target="_blank">White House doctor has been subpoenaed by the Comer Committee</a>. The always astute <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/auto-penmanship-thursday-june-5-2025?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=165265998&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Jeff Childers </a>notes this will have a "tectonic" impact on the 2026 midterms, as DemoKKKrats will be forced to defend Rutabaga without knowing what can---and will---be coming out. As Jeff wrote, "Dems who defend Biden risk looking complicit if damning memos or testimony later emerge. But those who try to distance themselves will fracture the party’s unity and invite civil war within the base." Oh no! He did not do dat? He says this "will invite civil war within the base." By my count this would be Civil War <a href="https://www.wildworldofpolitics.com/blog/hashtags/5">#5</a>. The <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/06/05/karine-jean-pierre-book-reaction-biden-aides" target="_blank">former press secretary took Rutabaga's side</a> against the "betrayal" in her new book that no one will read. But it's an indicator of where things will head. But it may not be that easy. Childers (a lawyer) thinks it "likely" an investigation will turn up illegal, stupid, and treasonous uses of the autopen and that this will to to the Supes who, immunity-case-style, will be forced to set rules. Then Trump can use THOSE rules to go after aspects of the Rutabaga admin with prejudice. For the record Zen Master thinks nothing will come of this. News today is that <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/06/06/us-news/biden-only-hand-signed-one-pardon-during-final-spree-and-it-was-his-most-controversial-one/" target="_blank">Rutabaga only hand-signed ONE pardon,</a> that of his son.</p><p><br /> </p><p>12) More Dem Civil War stuff, <a href="https://blackmon.substack.com/p/doug-sheridan-why-an-old-gas-tech?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=712558&post_id=165337348&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">as "old gas" will be a key part of AI.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>13) Like almost all other blue states, <a href="https://www.americanexperiment.org/minnesota-loses-residents-of-all-age-groups-and-incomes-over-25000-annually-to-other-parts-of-the-country/?utm_source=ActiveCampaign&utm_medium=email&utm_content=Minnesota%20Losing%20Residents%20of%20All%20Ages%2C%20Incomes&utm_campaign=Friday%20Newsletter%206%2F6%2F25&vgo_ee=R6kDZ9pKZKPf5yPKeQJ6HnHOlJ7237MeIrD38idvKrZvzjpSX%2F2T5WI%3D%3Ah9FlAwUZkrwEhnpR5n6aglX0h3xGptxm" target="_blank">MN is losing people</a>.</p><p><br /> </p><p>14) Put this in the "I VOTED FOR THIS" category: President Trump (while Elon fumes and Tweets) <a href="https://x.com/InsiderWire/status/1931022734328463682" target="_blank">is preparing a massive federal defunding package for Kollyfornia.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>15) A <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14787797/fight-high-schoolers-jones-beach-island-new-york.html" target="_blank">mass brawl broke out among youts at a NY vacation beach</a>. Sigh. Always the Amish.</p><p><br /> </p><p>16) You could have seen this coming from Uranus. The minute a Republican won the national popular vote, states would pull out of their idiotic and unconstitutional "Popular Vote Compact."<a href="https://restoration-news.com/maine-house-votes-to-withdraw-from-national-popular-vote-compact" target="_blank"> Now ME is the first.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>17) The <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/06/04/department-of-justice-texas-immigration-tuition-00387072" target="_blank">DOJ sued Texas for giving illegal criminal aliens in-state tuition.</a> An hour later, Texas joined the suit and abandoned the law.</p><p><br /> </p><p>18) <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/06/05/us-news/exclu-ice-facilities-bursting-at-the-seams-with-53k-illegal-migrants-in-detention-with-agency-desperate-for-funds-to-support-trumps-mass-deportation/" target="_blank">ICE is holding 53,000 illegal criminals</a> and needs more money. Come on, BBB. Meanwhile, murder rates <a href="https://amac.us/newsline/society/breaking-murder-rates-plummet-under-trump/" target="_blank">have plummeted under Trump.</a> Amazing what removing hundreds of thousands of gang bangers can do.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>19) Not sure I want to be led by these guys. <a href="https://www.graphsaboutreligion.com/p/how-certain-are-clergy-of-their-faith?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1561197&post_id=161106557&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Only 70% of Catholic priests and mainline Protestant pastors have a "sure" belief in God</a>; only a quarter say Adam and Eve were real people; and not even half of all non-evangelical "mainline" ministers believe in hell. (Odd because Jesus spoke of hell much more than He ever did of heaven). Twice as many Protestants as Catholic men of the cloth believe in the inerrancy of the Bible. However, only 20% of evangelical and black ministers took the Bible literally.</p><p><br /> </p><p>20) Texas's use of <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/texas-private-schools-use-ai-tutor-rockets-student-test-scores-top-2-country" target="_blank">an AI "tutor" program</a> caused student test scores to soar.</p><p><br /> </p><p>21) The <a href="https://x.com/sfmcguire79/status/1930351048155377783?t=PFCGku5kv6rtK72euuWTiQ&s=03" target="_blank">Department of Ed notified Columbia U. that it has "failed to meet accreditation standards"</a> set by the Middle States Commission on Higher Ed. Good. Dump these bugplugger institutions' accreditation.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN TRANSOID NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>22) NOPE. Won't happen. A <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/06/05/parents-transgender-silence-marissa-rothenberger-softball/" target="_blank">high ranking school official told parents to shut up about transoids cheating their daughters.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ECONOMIC NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>23) The <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/feds-say-california-bullet-train-has-no-viable-path-threaten-to-pull-4-billion-5867708?utm_source=Goodevening&src_src=Goodevening&utm_campaign=gv-2025-06-04&src_cmp=gv-2025-06-04&utm_medium=email&est=qzYYDVOxfqFMOz3X%2FLw3rFt68b8pxpPxWfFNwPAeO8jb433AeYoYERPXAphHv8JZVhs9l%2Bzx" target="_blank">Feds say Kollyfornia's Bullet Train has "no path"</a> and threaten to pull $4 billion. Good. Let Brad Pitt pay for it.</p><p><br /> </p><p>24) This is brilliant. <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/06/05/scoop-democrats-vow-to-boycott-popular-dc-restaurants" target="_blank">Many DemoKKKrat lawmakers will boycott D.C. restaurants in a labor dispute</a>. These are DemoKKKrat-owned restaurants, for the most part.</p><p><br /> </p><p>25) Getting there, getting there. <a href="https://x.com/WatcherGuru/status/1930966703917142514" target="_blank">The economy---well, entrepreneurs---added 139,000 jobs, beating "expectations."</a> The gubmen shed 22,000 more jobs.</p><p><br /> </p><p>26) A survey by <a href="https://blackmon.substack.com/p/you-dont-sayyyyy-survey-finds-interest?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=712558&post_id=165334017&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">AAA finds interest in buying an EV at a five-year low.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>27) Green-obsessed <a href="https://blackmon.substack.com/p/cant-make-it-up-bloomberg-admits?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=712558&post_id=165264379&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Bloomberg praises Chy-na for building lotsa coal plants</a> for "national security."

The <a href="https://www.dw.com/en/how-europe-is-planning-to-cope-with-drought/a-72651580?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">green hysterics and climate change chubblepuffers are certain that we are on the verge of drought now.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>28) This is what happens when libtoids get in power. After a lib won the South Korean election, <a href="https://x.com/saber_k086/status/1930188962745987131" target="_blank">they voted to expand the Supreme Court there from 14-30,</a> so that no other party will ever get a favorable ruling again. It's a matter of time now before South Korea falls into Rocket Man's hands, and he never had to fire a shot. And speaking of the NORKS, <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/06/05/openai-chatgpt-north-korean-it-workers" target="_blank">it appears they were using ChatGPT to hire North Korean workers.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>29) <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/06/05/trump-admin-rockets-ukraine-redirects-us-forces/" target="_blank">No more rockets for Green Screen Zelensky</a>, as Trump pulled the plug and is sending them to the U.S. military. Meanwhile, as always happens, the revision of the news is much different than the original "news," <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/ukraine-hit-fewer-russian-planes-than-it-estimated-us-officials-say-2025-06-04/" target="_blank">as far fewer Russkie planes were hit in the drone attack</a> than Ukraine claimed.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>30) <a href="https://washingtoncitypaper.com/article/764364/jaws-50-years-later/" target="_blank">A retro review of "Jaws": 50 years later,</a> still great.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Now for some voter registration updates: We have<a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1930263268137857393?t=NPiA-OnvpaKsfdhaQREivw&s=03" target="_blank"> MD</a>, where DemoKKKrats actually outregistered Rs by about 400; in <a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1930323667675689183" target="_blank">DE</a> Rs picked up 7,700 net with both parties' registrations falling but as I show below, the long-term these are still a net loss for Ds. And we have this excellent update from <a href="https://skeshel.substack.com/p/june-2025-voter-registration-by-party?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=798984&post_id=165230486&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Seth Keshel</a>, showing November to June shifts: in FL, from +7.5 to 9.4% R; in IA +10.3 to 10.8% R (<a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1930338766620672072?t=UTDJNZfPuEsDVC0YyWfivg&s=03" target="_blank">IA gained about 1,000 net new Rs last month</a>); in PA +3.1 to 2.0% D; in NC +1.3 to .03% D; R; in AZ 6.8% to 7.0% R; and NV _.05% D to tied. Meanwhile, in a voter roll purge, Kollyfornia just removed 1.2 <i>million </i>inactive voters. That probably works out a net R gain of about 200,000. This apparently does NOT include Los Angeles County. More <a href="https://skeshel.substack.com/p/june-2025-voter-registration-by-party-023?utm_campaign=email-half-post&r=dx45b&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">voter registration numbers on blue states here by Seth Keshel</a>, this time of DemoKKKrat states. Surprise, surprise. They are ALL losing DemoKKKrat voters---New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, New Mexico, Maine Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Colorado. ALL OF THEM. New Mexico is now down to D+11, New Jersey at D+12. Keshel sees both as being battleground states in 2028.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Meanwhile, <a href="https://x.com/QuantusInsights/status/1931050009493180505" target="_blank">Trump back above water in the polling AVERAGES including even the chokesmoker polls.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Here are <a href="https://x.com/charliekirk11/status/1930402626090479622" target="_blank">FIFTY major wins</a> in the Big Beautiful Bill. But<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/blue-state-republicans-threaten-rebellion-senate-changes-key-provision-trumps-big-beautiful-bill" target="_blank"> blue state Republicans are whining about the reduction in the "SALT" deductions</a> and saying they won't pass "BBB" unless those are eliminated. SALT is "state and local taxes" which were allowed to be deducted prior to Trump. Basically, blue states get away with outrageously high taxes in part because the state taxes can be deducted from the federal tax. In other words, Trump wants to make the blue states really fell the pain they are inflicting, and the toadies from those states object.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) The "Common Sense" DemoKKKrats, such as <a href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/net-zero-is-a-net-loser-for-democrats?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=239058&post_id=165241978&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Ruy Teixeira, whom no one will listen to, warn that "net zero" is a net loser</a>. Yep. It's Civil War <a href="https://www.wildworldofpolitics.com/blog/hashtags/3">#3</a> for DemoKKKrats: Tech Bros/AI v. Greenies.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) So much for "Trump's tariffs will add to the deficit." The <a href="https://x.com/ByronYork/status/1930314935977791886" target="_blank">CBO says that by 2035 tariffs will add $2.8 trillion in new revenues.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>6) It's too bad. Steve Bannon is looking like a Cheshire Cat in his criticisms of <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1930669642743222373" target="_blank">Elon Musk, who has gone off the deep end</a>, no criticizing President Trump directly over the BBB and saying that Trump would have lost the election without him. Sorry, Elon. You were valued. But Just as in 2016 I thought that ONLY Steve Bannon saved the campaign, but that Jared Kushner was absolutely critical to getting Trump the money to win, so in 2024 the two biggest players were Scott Pressler, who almost singlehandedly flipped PA to Trump, and Susy Wiles, who kept Trump ON MESSAGE and ON TARGET. You were important, Elon, but they were key. Meanwhile, <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/06/05/tesla-crashes-as-musk-turns-against-trump-and-gop-tax-cut-bill/" target="_blank">Tesla's stock has plunged.</a> Business-wise, this was a dumb move for Elon. He already had DemoKKKrats hating him and destroying Teslas. Now he wants MAGA to join in? Let's hope this is all just a rock-band bromance-gone-sour and that it will all be patched up. Course, Bannon is calling on Musk to be deported! And <a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/sick-and-evil-democrat-party-shredded-for-flipping-on-hot-button-issue-micca/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank">DemoKKKrats now want the Epstein files released</a>. Gee, almost like Trump planned this. If Dems succeed in "forcing" Trump to publish the Epstein files, it will be the biggest "briar patch" moment in political history.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Well all right then. <a href="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://cl.notthebee.com/c/7/eyJhaSI6OTM0MDM5NzAsImUiOiJsYXJyeXNjaHdlaWthcnRAZ21haWwuY29tIiwicmkiOiIxNjg4NDMzNzc0IiwicnEiOiIwMi1iMjUxNTYtYTY2MmUzNDQxOTlkNGI4ODk4YTE0ODE0NjU0NjNmZjMiLCJtIjpmYWxzZSwidWkiOiIiLCJ1biI6IiIsInUiOiJodHRwczovL25vdHRoZWJlZS5jb20vYXJ0aWNsZS90ZXhhcy1tYW4tYXJyZXN0ZWQtYWZ0ZXItYnJlYWtpbmctaW50by1tYXItYS1sYWdvLWhvcGluZy10by1tYXJyeS1kb25hbGQtdHJ1bXA_dXRtX3NvdXJjZT1Ob3QrVGhlK0JlZStOZXdzbGV0dGVyJnV0bV9tZWRpdW09ZW1haWwmdXRtX2NhbXBhaWduPTA2MDUyMDI1In0/2JMzto6MozMLSo0AsetGAQ&source=gmail&ust=1749221983327000&usg=AOvVaw13_tw65eGxMuflO4QCTI0_" target="_blank">A Texas man broke into Mar-a-Lago to "share the Gospel" and marry Trump's granddaughter</a>.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Took them long enough. The <a href="https://www.wsj.com/opinion/the-american-political-realignment-is-real-voter-patterns-election-af0ff62e?st=xNHCuc&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink" target="_blank"><i>Wall Street Journal </i></a>admits the Trump political realignment is "real."</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) <a href="https://x.com/earlyvotedata/status/1930628640691384540" target="_blank">Supes unanimously rule (dang: ACB rules right yet again) that Smith & Wesson and other gun manufacturers cannot be held liable in Me-hee-co.</a> Sorry, my south-of-the-border friends, you'll have to get money from somewhere else. In another <a href="https://x.com/PollTracker2024/status/1930627340108812789" target="_blank">unanimous ruling the Supes said that heterosexuals cannot be held to a higher standard for claiming discrimination than transoid/homosexuals.</a> In yet another unanimous ruling, the Court said that <a href="https://x.com/varadmehta/status/1930629655859511551" target="_blank">WI supreme court violated the First Amendment rights of Catholic Charities in the state by requiring it to pay into the state's unemployment insurance system</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>10) President Trump <a href="https://protrumpnews.com/fulfilling-his-promise-to-protect-americans-donald-trump-bans-travel-from-12-countries/" target="_blank">banned entry into the US for people from 12 countries </a>that are "high risk" and have partial restrictions on travel from seven others.</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) The <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/energy-signing-92055/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">autopen scandal widens</a> as a watchdog group says there is "no evidence' Rutabaga knew about the so-called "clean energy" executive orders. Rutabaga insists he "made the decisions" but doesn't say he signed them, while <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/06/04/breaking-president-trump-officially-orders-full-investigation-biden/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">Trump orders a full investigation.</a> Rutabaga's <a href="https://www.nysun.com/article/comer-subpoenas-bidens-white-house-physician-as-part-of-the-expanding-probe-of-former-presidents-mental-decline?lctg=1679237530&recognized_email=larryschweikart%40gmail.com&utm_source=MG&utm_medium=email-newsletter&utm_campaign=Morning%20Sun%20%202025-06-06" target="_blank">White House doctor has been subpoenaed by the Comer Committee</a>. The always astute <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/auto-penmanship-thursday-june-5-2025?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=165265998&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Jeff Childers </a>notes this will have a "tectonic" impact on the 2026 midterms, as DemoKKKrats will be forced to defend Rutabaga without knowing what can---and will---be coming out. As Jeff wrote, "Dems who defend Biden risk looking complicit if damning memos or testimony later emerge. But those who try to distance themselves will fracture the party’s unity and invite civil war within the base." Oh no! He did not do dat? He says this "will invite civil war within the base." By my count this would be Civil War <a href="https://www.wildworldofpolitics.com/blog/hashtags/5">#5</a>. The <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/06/05/karine-jean-pierre-book-reaction-biden-aides" target="_blank">former press secretary took Rutabaga's side</a> against the "betrayal" in her new book that no one will read. But it's an indicator of where things will head. But it may not be that easy. Childers (a lawyer) thinks it "likely" an investigation will turn up illegal, stupid, and treasonous uses of the autopen and that this will to to the Supes who, immunity-case-style, will be forced to set rules. Then Trump can use THOSE rules to go after aspects of the Rutabaga admin with prejudice. For the record Zen Master thinks nothing will come of this. News today is that <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/06/06/us-news/biden-only-hand-signed-one-pardon-during-final-spree-and-it-was-his-most-controversial-one/" target="_blank">Rutabaga only hand-signed ONE pardon,</a> that of his son.</p><p><br /> </p><p>12) More Dem Civil War stuff, <a href="https://blackmon.substack.com/p/doug-sheridan-why-an-old-gas-tech?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=712558&post_id=165337348&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">as "old gas" will be a key part of AI.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>13) Like almost all other blue states, <a href="https://www.americanexperiment.org/minnesota-loses-residents-of-all-age-groups-and-incomes-over-25000-annually-to-other-parts-of-the-country/?utm_source=ActiveCampaign&utm_medium=email&utm_content=Minnesota%20Losing%20Residents%20of%20All%20Ages%2C%20Incomes&utm_campaign=Friday%20Newsletter%206%2F6%2F25&vgo_ee=R6kDZ9pKZKPf5yPKeQJ6HnHOlJ7237MeIrD38idvKrZvzjpSX%2F2T5WI%3D%3Ah9FlAwUZkrwEhnpR5n6aglX0h3xGptxm" target="_blank">MN is losing people</a>.</p><p><br /> </p><p>14) Put this in the "I VOTED FOR THIS" category: President Trump (while Elon fumes and Tweets) <a href="https://x.com/InsiderWire/status/1931022734328463682" target="_blank">is preparing a massive federal defunding package for Kollyfornia.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>15) A <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14787797/fight-high-schoolers-jones-beach-island-new-york.html" target="_blank">mass brawl broke out among youts at a NY vacation beach</a>. Sigh. Always the Amish.</p><p><br /> </p><p>16) You could have seen this coming from Uranus. The minute a Republican won the national popular vote, states would pull out of their idiotic and unconstitutional "Popular Vote Compact."<a href="https://restoration-news.com/maine-house-votes-to-withdraw-from-national-popular-vote-compact" target="_blank"> Now ME is the first.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>17) The <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/06/04/department-of-justice-texas-immigration-tuition-00387072" target="_blank">DOJ sued Texas for giving illegal criminal aliens in-state tuition.</a> An hour later, Texas joined the suit and abandoned the law.</p><p><br /> </p><p>18) <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/06/05/us-news/exclu-ice-facilities-bursting-at-the-seams-with-53k-illegal-migrants-in-detention-with-agency-desperate-for-funds-to-support-trumps-mass-deportation/" target="_blank">ICE is holding 53,000 illegal criminals</a> and needs more money.

Meanwhile, murder rates <a href="https://amac.us/newsline/society/breaking-murder-rates-plummet-under-trump/" target="_blank">have plummeted under Trump.</a> Amazing what removing hundreds of thousands of gang bangers can do.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>19) Not sure I want to be led by these guys. <a href="https://www.graphsaboutreligion.com/p/how-certain-are-clergy-of-their-faith?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1561197&post_id=161106557&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Only 70% of Catholic priests and mainline Protestant pastors have a "sure" belief in God</a>; only a quarter say Adam and Eve were real people; and not even half of all non-evangelical "mainline" ministers believe in hell. (Odd because Jesus spoke of hell much more than He ever did of heaven). Twice as many Protestants as Catholic men of the cloth believe in the inerrancy of the Bible. However, only 20% of evangelical and black ministers took the Bible literally.</p><p><br /> </p><p>20) Texas's use of <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/texas-private-schools-use-ai-tutor-rockets-student-test-scores-top-2-country" target="_blank">an AI "tutor" program</a> caused student test scores to soar.</p><p><br /> </p><p>21) The <a href="https://x.com/sfmcguire79/status/1930351048155377783?t=PFCGku5kv6rtK72euuWTiQ&s=03" target="_blank">Department of Ed notified Columbia U. that it has "failed to meet accreditation standards"</a> set by the Middle States Commission on Higher Ed.

After a lib won the South Korean election, <a href="https://x.com/saber_k086/status/1930188962745987131" target="_blank">they voted to expand the Supreme Court there from 14-30,</a> so that no other party will ever get a favorable ruling again. It's a matter of time now before South Korea falls into Rocket Man's hands, and he never had to fire a shot. And speaking of the NORKS, <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/06/05/openai-chatgpt-north-korean-it-workers" target="_blank">it appears they were using ChatGPT to hire North Korean workers.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>29) <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/06/05/trump-admin-rockets-ukraine-redirects-us-forces/" target="_blank">No more rockets for Green Screen Zelensky</a>, as Trump pulled the plug and is sending them to the U.S. military.

      <title>Today&apos;s News, June 3-4, 2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) DemoKKKrats are in deep, deep trouble. Forget the "generic ballot" or pollsters looking at 2026. Forget the "Big Beautiful Bill." This is a party in which it almost <i>doesn't matter what Republicans do!</i>. DemoKKKrats are making themselves utterly poisonous. You can see it in CNN's latest polling, where <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/03/politics/democrats-brand-findings-cnn-poll?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Republicans are viewed as the party of "strong leaders."</a> (You know, like Trump, Vance, Musk, Muy Macho Marco, RFK, Tulsi Gabbard, Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller). Why would that be? Maybe cuz they just keep marching forward no matter what the Hoax News media, Hollywood, or the courts say. Say what you want about W. For a time---prior to about early 2004---he was viewed as a "strong leader." Who do the DemoKKKrats have? They can (literally) trot out the prancing gheyboy Tampon Timmy. Even Little Spoogemuffin Natey Silver admits that the men he has sampled <a href="https://x.com/robbysoave/status/1929619568659513537/photo/1" target="_blank">see the DemoKKKrats as whiny and neurotic and have <i>high levels of mental health</i>. </a>And speaking of mental health, there is a full-on campaign to force Fetterman Massacre out by claiming he has "mental health" problems because he won't go along with the screwball woke idiocy. Now his chief of staff quit.</p><p><br /> </p><p>But wait! It gets better. Rs are viewed as the "Party of Change" in that same poll! Yikes. What in the world can DemoKKKrats do? Oh, I know, they can <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/06/03/dems-are-quietly-forming-a-think-tank-to-help-them-win-again-00381601" target="_blank">create a think tank called "Spotlight"</a> to "push DemoKKKrats to more popular positions." Sorry, there, Grunhilda. That ship sailed about 10 years ago. Not that they can be pushed, anyway. It is a party largely being run by angry Muslim women, escapees from asylums, and transoid nutjobs (usually all in the same person). The Spotlight people are trying to push crazed liberals, well, away from crazy liberal positions. But THAT'S WHO THEY ARE!</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) It's finally starting to come together. The above concerns are reflecting these realities, namely that with the exception of . . . wait for it . . . UTAH (!?) and (just barely) CO, DemoKKKrats are losing a LOT of registered voters and Republicans are gaining alot (but not all of those leaving the DemoKKKrats) nationwide. To wit, last month: <a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1929644215514120650?t=4FqdsR-vTGXqnd1h--XfVA&s=03" target="_blank">NE</a> (+400 net R/D), <a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1929900888874778769" target="_blank">SD </a>(net +530), <a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1929915989736731060" target="_blank">CO</a> (D+50), <a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1929976378461417923?t=HnfELJjr_Z-mG3QwgaF38A&s=03" target="_blank">UT</a> (D+600), <a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1929598891319873810?t=OTK1deargoG0beMxgg9sHQ&s=03" target="_blank">OK</a> (R+3,200), <a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1929583796405653882" target="_blank">RI</a> (R+2000), and <a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1929523445320360013" target="_blank">KY</a> (R+1800), <a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1929931129433321921/photo/1" target="_blank">NV</a> (Ds +600), plus all the FL, NE, and NC numbers I gave you Monday. I think no small amount of the DemoKKKrats declining numbers (vs R gains) is simply age. It's an ancient party. Oh, and here is another sign the Dems are collapsing: This PA candidate was considered to be strong---<a href="https://x.com/PollTracker2024/status/1929949219827114038" target="_blank">but he won't be running.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>3) <a href="https://x.com/RobertCahaly/status/1929855132604248139" target="_blank">Trafalgar</a> and Rasmussen both have Trump at 53% approval.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Imagine that. The <a href="https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/1929982719938765206?t=ZgrVoB9QysAsABkQg46TtA&s=03" target="_blank">U.S. Army has now met its recruitment goals</a>. Good to have leaders in charge. And <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/hegseth-orders-navy-rename-ship-honoring-gay-rights/story?id=122460707" target="_blank">Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered the Navy to rename a ship called the Harvey Milk</a>, named after a homosexual Groomer City supervisor who was shot. These ships should be named for naval heroes, not cultural bladderpickles.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Trump's <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/business/trumps-50-percent-tariffs-on-steel-aluminum-take-effect-aimed-at-boosting-us-production-5867391?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-06-04&src_cmp=mb-2025-06-04&utm_medium=email&est=Dc0U2lu2IZiv1Koyg0zuJCeIpkTaeHz260gSiXTK73GeRZoxMJEVRB%2B4ulOXwBJx8VK8Cbs%3D" target="_blank">50% tariffs</a> on steel and aluminum went into effect, and <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-sends-9-4-billion-doge-cuts-proposal-congress-targeting-npr-pbs" target="_blank">he sent the first package of nearly $10 billion in DOGE cuts to the House..</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>6) The <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/06/03/wapo-apologizes-issues-correction-hamas/" target="_blank"><i>Washington Compost</i> has apologized for publishing Hamas Murder Pirate propaganda at face value.</a> Why bother? They'll just do it again.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) The <a href="https://freebeacon.com/democrats/maxine-waters-slapped-with-68000-fec-fine-for-violating-campaign-finance-laws/" target="_blank">disgustingly evil James Brown (Maxine Waters)</a> was hit with a $68,000 FEC fine, which she'll pay by dipping into her illegal campaign funds.</p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_efd582b8d61f44cb97579f34e6e1b182~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1024,h_819,al_c,q_85,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_efd582b8d61f44cb97579f34e6e1b182~mv2.jpg" alt="" /><p>8) The Trump administration says <a href="https://protrumpnews.com/autopen-is-the-biggest-political-scandal-in-american-history-trump-calls-out-biden-admin-autopen-use/" target="_blank">the autopen scandal is the "Biggest scandal in American history." </a>Wow. With "Muh Russia," with the China Virus vax, and with the stolen election of 2020, that's saying a lot.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) Multiple samples show that the<a href="https://nypost.com/2025/06/04/us-news/nyc-quality-of-life-still-worse-compared-to-pre-pandemic-era-according-to-new-poll-of-residents/" target="_blank"> quality of life in New Kabul (NYC) is still worse than before the China Virus pandemic</a>.

John Cornhole</a> (Cornyn) in poll after poll, suggesting we may finally rid ourselves of this RINO clattercircuit.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>11) <a href="https://x.com/BillMelugin_/status/1930035458509013221" target="_blank">The family for the terrorist analwipe in CO has had their visas revoked</a>. Good. Now, let's see DemoKKKrats come and defend this guy and praise this family. DemoKKKrat Civil War <a href="https://www.wildworldofpolitics.com/blog/hashtags/1">#1</a> and <a href="https://www.wildworldofpolitics.com/blog/hashtags/2">#2</a> all rolled into one. Keep it up fellas!</p><p><br /> </p><p>12) This student,<a href="https://www.carolinajournal.com/student-suspended-for-saying-illegal-alien-will-receive-public-apology-in-new-settlement/" target="_blank"> suspended because he said "illegal alien" has won a settlement and an apology. </a>To quote Monty Phython in the "Life of Brian," "Thanks for the settlement. You can keep the apology." By the way, though, he is wrong. It's not "illegal alien." It's Illegal criminal alien INVADER.</p><p><br /> </p><p>13) The Pentagon<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/pentagon-deploys-civilian-staff-to-help-dhs-in-fight-against-illegal-immigration-5867362?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank"> is deploying civilian staff to aid in operations against said illegal criminal invaders.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>14) In a huge win for MAGA and doing the right thing, <a href="https://x.com/IsaacWillour/status/1929918865842012351" target="_blank">CITI has expressly prohibited "debanking" due to political views.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>15) And a big win here as the <a href="https://x.com/realchrisrufo/status/1930003039974502649?t=t6LwotxuKS7hJNYtXOAWpQ&s=03" target="_blank">Florida Board of Governors rejected Santa Ono as president of the U. of Florida</a>. This was one lying woke clatterpimple.</p><p><br /> </p><p>16) Air crews say <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/article/airline-crews-say-dei-persists-despite-safety-concerns-and-trump-orders-5857441?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-06-04&src_cmp=mb-2025-06-04&utm_medium=email&est=LRdspCgLMQWpZPycUG70Xnk3309n9Rhc%2FHHPY0pQfySuqXKoEPfSmEfNZ9MkakHAHRQPnzk%3D" target="_blank">DEI persists despite Trump's orders and it is threatening flight safety.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>17) <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/06/03/seniors-marijuana-use-increase" target="_blank">Seniors' marijuana use reaches new high</a>. I know from various people that they use "gummies" primarily as sleep aids because doctors won't prescribe sleeping pills any more, but also because of the war against oxy and other pain meds, many seniors need pain management and again, docs are too obsessed with addition to treat pain. It's a fine line.</p><p><br /> </p><p>18) <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/fountains-of-woke-wednesday-june?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=165188420&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">It's getting impossible NOT to quote Jeff Childers on almost a daily basis </a>here. On Monday I had the story about Prof. Santa Ono, who had been nominated to be the president of the U. of Florida, but whose nomination was nixed by the state Board of Governors. Reviewing Ono's testimony, where he tried to recant most of his crazy positions, Childers noted that he "Disavowed almost every statement, program, and position he'd ever endorsed" and "reversed more often than a 17-year-old cheerleader while parallel parking." Now that's funny right there, I don't care who you are. But as Jeff points out, the Board of Governors' vote was the first time in history it overruled a university's selection for president. The times, they are a' changin'. Now, suddenly, DEI---instead of being the golden ticket to advancement---has become a millstone.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ECONOMIC NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>19) April job openings <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/business/job-openings-unexpectedly-jump-to-7-39-million-in-april-jolts-5867078?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-06-03-3&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-06-03-3&utm_medium=email&utm_term=digital&est=9gV9gnNIos4xGpSeNftMSkjkgvAvH4Gi%2FQe%2BcnD3fVuXFAw41oJEoOmqH2hKG1FOJtlxh4U%3D" target="_blank">"Unexpectedly" jumped</a> to 7.39 million.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) DemoKKKrats are in deep, deep trouble. Forget the "generic ballot" or pollsters looking at 2026. Forget the "Big Beautiful Bill." This is a party in which it almost <i>doesn't matter what Republicans do!</i>. DemoKKKrats are making themselves utterly poisonous. You can see it in CNN's latest polling, where <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/03/politics/democrats-brand-findings-cnn-poll?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Republicans are viewed as the party of "strong leaders."</a> (You know, like Trump, Vance, Musk, Muy Macho Marco, RFK, Tulsi Gabbard, Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller). Why would that be? Maybe cuz they just keep marching forward no matter what the Hoax News media, Hollywood, or the courts say. Say what you want about W. For a time---prior to about early 2004---he was viewed as a "strong leader." Who do the DemoKKKrats have? They can (literally) trot out the prancing gheyboy Tampon Timmy. Even Little Spoogemuffin Natey Silver admits that the men he has sampled <a href="https://x.com/robbysoave/status/1929619568659513537/photo/1" target="_blank">see the DemoKKKrats as whiny and neurotic and have <i>high levels of mental health</i>. </a>And speaking of mental health, there is a full-on campaign to force Fetterman Massacre out by claiming he has "mental health" problems because he won't go along with the screwball woke idiocy. Now his chief of staff quit.</p><p><br /> </p><p>But wait! It gets better. Rs are viewed as the "Party of Change" in that same poll! Yikes. What in the world can DemoKKKrats do? Oh, I know, they can <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/06/03/dems-are-quietly-forming-a-think-tank-to-help-them-win-again-00381601" target="_blank">create a think tank called "Spotlight"</a> to "push DemoKKKrats to more popular positions." Sorry, there, Grunhilda. That ship sailed about 10 years ago. Not that they can be pushed, anyway. It is a party largely being run by angry Muslim women, escapees from asylums, and transoid nutjobs (usually all in the same person). The Spotlight people are trying to push crazed liberals, well, away from crazy liberal positions. But THAT'S WHO THEY ARE!</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) It's finally starting to come together. The above concerns are reflecting these realities, namely that with the exception of . . . wait for it . . . UTAH (!?) and (just barely) CO, DemoKKKrats are losing a LOT of registered voters and Republicans are gaining alot (but not all of those leaving the DemoKKKrats) nationwide. To wit, last month: <a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1929644215514120650?t=4FqdsR-vTGXqnd1h--XfVA&s=03" target="_blank">NE</a> (+400 net R/D), <a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1929900888874778769" target="_blank">SD </a>(net +530), <a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1929915989736731060" target="_blank">CO</a> (D+50), <a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1929976378461417923?t=HnfELJjr_Z-mG3QwgaF38A&s=03" target="_blank">UT</a> (D+600), <a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1929598891319873810?t=OTK1deargoG0beMxgg9sHQ&s=03" target="_blank">OK</a> (R+3,200), <a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1929583796405653882" target="_blank">RI</a> (R+2000), and <a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1929523445320360013" target="_blank">KY</a> (R+1800), <a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1929931129433321921/photo/1" target="_blank">NV</a> (Ds +600), plus all the FL, NE, and NC numbers I gave you Monday. I think no small amount of the DemoKKKrats declining numbers (vs R gains) is simply age. It's an ancient party. Oh, and here is another sign the Dems are collapsing: This PA candidate was considered to be strong---<a href="https://x.com/PollTracker2024/status/1929949219827114038" target="_blank">but he won't be running.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>3) <a href="https://x.com/RobertCahaly/status/1929855132604248139" target="_blank">Trafalgar</a> and Rasmussen both have Trump at 53% approval.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Imagine that.

Good. Now, let's see DemoKKKrats come and defend this guy and praise this family.

Keep it up fellas!</p><p><br /> </p><p>12) This student,<a href="https://www.carolinajournal.com/student-suspended-for-saying-illegal-alien-will-receive-public-apology-in-new-settlement/" target="_blank"> suspended because he said "illegal alien" has won a settlement and an apology. </a>To quote Monty Phython in the "Life of Brian," "Thanks for the settlement. You can keep the apology." By the way, though, he is wrong. It's not "illegal alien." It's Illegal criminal alien INVADER.</p><p><br /> </p><p>13) The Pentagon<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/pentagon-deploys-civilian-staff-to-help-dhs-in-fight-against-illegal-immigration-5867362?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank"> is deploying civilian staff to aid in operations against said illegal criminal invaders.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>14) In a huge win for MAGA and doing the right thing, <a href="https://x.com/IsaacWillour/status/1929918865842012351" target="_blank">CITI has expressly prohibited "debanking" due to political views.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>15) And a big win here as the <a href="https://x.com/realchrisrufo/status/1930003039974502649?t=t6LwotxuKS7hJNYtXOAWpQ&s=03" target="_blank">Florida Board of Governors rejected Santa Ono as president of the U. of Florida</a>.

I know from various people that they use "gummies" primarily as sleep aids because doctors won't prescribe sleeping pills any more, but also because of the war against oxy and other pain meds, many seniors need pain management and again, docs are too obsessed with addition to treat pain. It's a fine line.</p><p><br /> </p><p>18) <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/fountains-of-woke-wednesday-june?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=165188420&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">It's getting impossible NOT to quote Jeff Childers on almost a daily basis </a>here. On Monday I had the story about Prof. Santa Ono, who had been nominated to be the president of the U. of Florida, but whose nomination was nixed by the state Board of Governors. Reviewing Ono's testimony, where he tried to recant most of his crazy positions, Childers noted that he "Disavowed almost every statement, program, and position he'd ever endorsed" and "reversed more often than a 17-year-old cheerleader while parallel parking." Now that's funny right there, I don't care who you are. But as Jeff points out, the Board of Governors' vote was the first time in history it overruled a university's selection for president. The times, they are a' changin'. Now, suddenly, DEI---instead of being the golden ticket to advancement---has become a millstone.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ECONOMIC NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>19) April job openings <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/business/job-openings-unexpectedly-jump-to-7-39-million-in-april-jolts-5867078?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-06-03-3&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-06-03-3&utm_medium=email&utm_term=digital&est=9gV9gnNIos4xGpSeNftMSkjkgvAvH4Gi%2FQe%2BcnD3fVuXFAw41oJEoOmqH2hKG1FOJtlxh4U%3D" target="_blank">"Unexpectedly" jumped</a> to 7.39 million.

      <title>Today&apos;s News, June 1-2, 2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) The fallout from the "Rutabaga actually was a Rutabaga" news keeps dribbling out, and it is no longer surprising. Now we're told that the <a href="https://x.com/thehonestlypod/status/1928504782005719406" target="_blank">senior staff "couldn't believe" they were getting the Hoax News Media to play along with the notion that the Demented Pervert was "sharp as a tack."</a> Good old <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/theyre-ones-lied-chuck-todd-blames-democrats-not-msm-biden-coverup?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=4853" target="_blank">F. Chuck Todd</a> says the DemoKKKrats were the liars, not the lying media. It's a circular firing squad, people.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) President Trump has just launched <a href="https://x.com/pvtjokerus/status/1929235695203164177/photo/1" target="_blank">a new task force on fraud related to homelessness funds.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Kash Patel says the FBI is investigating a "<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/fbi-investigating-targeted-terror-attack-in-boulder-colorado-director-patel-5866352?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-06-01-2&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-06-01-2&utm_medium=email&est=ypsHekheSF8MgRlXIQ2SN%2BtcES6l7vZe8idUovsYM5AsYi1QiYM8g4BmMw9ERTQDiVuyLI0%3D" target="_blank">targeted terror attack"</a> by a Muslim thowing Molotov cocktails at Christians attending a protest. The culprit is an illegal alien---shocked, I tell ya--- and yelled "End Zionists" in his terror rampage. I do believe Kash Patel and Dan Bongino are seeking to rebuild the FBI into a legit institution. Exhibit A, your honor: the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/01/us/politics/fbi-patel.html" target="_blank"><i>New York Slimes</i> is whining about it</a>, so that's a pretty good sign it's happening. Nevertheless, a clear sign that no one yet fears the FBI was this attack. There MUST be high profile arrests of the Russia Hoaxers and the J6 tyrants, as well as a couple of China Virus liars. Then maybe the FBI can recover.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Voter registration continues to move in ONLY one direction, toward Republicans. Here is <a href="https://x.com/Grassroots20244/status/1928790536401596482" target="_blank">NM, where Rs net gained nearly 400</a> (still a long way to go there) and <a href="https://x.com/earlyvotedata/status/1928822058571673693" target="_blank">NC, where the 175,000 DemoKKKrat lead in 2020 is down to 24,000, </a>with Rs having a lead among active voters there of nearly 83,000.<a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1929206305115304042" target="_blank"> FL gets redder,</a> now with another +80,000 net for a statewide margin of R+1.32 million. <a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1929538496915709956/photo/1" target="_blank">NJ shaved another 500 off</a> the D lead there. Oh, and the <i><strong>one bright spot for DemoKKKrats in registration, PA</strong></i> just<a href="https://x.com/Five_Starrr/status/1929536916916961496" target="_blank"> flipped back red by 145 this week.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Meanwhile, <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/06/01/just-another-democratic-lawmaker-announces-switch-republican-party/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">KY state senator Robin Webb switched</a> from the DemoKKKrats to the GOP. Oh, and the latest to say, "Gee, the DemoKKKrats lost their way" is one of the pigjigglers who led them that way, the prancing geyboy <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/walz-to-south-carolina-democrats-we-lost-our-way-as-a-party-5865999?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-06-02&src_cmp=mb-2025-06-02&utm_medium=email&est=5XShYa4XvI9eN3KKh4ZxIwIw%2FUMxrT%2FulVrBgUVVKWk9vTqc9eOYL6rR311dpaTiM8%2FEMgk%3D" target="_blank">Tampon Timmy. </a>He claimed DemoKKKrats used to do "big" "bold" things. You still do, Tampon: you attack the American working class boldly, support Islamic terrorists boldly, allow in illegal criminal invaders boldly, and try to deprive girls of athletic achievements boldly. You are a giant, prancing bold fecalpile. And so is your "bold" party. Oh, and remember how this new wave of DemoKKKrat think-tankers is touting "better management" of cities as their golden ring? Yeah, good times: <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/05/31/nyc-subway-assaults-19-attacks-coming-against-police-officers-stats-show/" target="_blank">NY subway assaults</a> are up 19%. And no, not Jared from Subway molesting kiddies.</p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_795ec7a23291473d9f39e90903ed09c9~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1480,h_1974,al_c,q_90,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_795ec7a23291473d9f39e90903ed09c9~mv2.jpg" alt="" /><p><br /> </p><p>6) <a href="https://www.ctpublic.org/news/2025-02-21/bridgeport-ct-primary-election-charges" target="_blank">Five DemoKKKrats have been charged in the Bridgeport, CT election fraud</a> scandal. Course, a dicknipple "AZ Data Gnu" says this kind of fraud can't happen.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Right now <a href="https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/pete-buttigieg-aoc-2028/2025/05/31/id/1213097/" target="_blank">Buttplugs is leading the DemoKKKrat 2028 race</a>, which is funny. That would be a J.D. Vance 400 EV win.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) The latest evidence shows what we have always known: <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2025/06/02/latest-fbi-revelations-show-the-mueller-special-counsel-was-a-cover-up-and-much-more/" target="_blank">the Mulehead Investigation was a sanitizing/coverup op all along.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>9) D.C. mayor <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/05/31/democrat-mayor-proposes-removing-sanctuary-city-protections/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">Muriel Bow Wow Bowser now wants to remove D.C.'s "sanctuary city" protections for illegal criminals.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>10) Awesome.<a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1929535017346035936" target="_blank"> ICE staged a raid nabbing 1,500 illegals in MA alone.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>11) Boo hoo. The <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/in_focus/3427178/trump-administration-permanently-damaged-harvard/?utm_source=deployer&utm_medium=email&utm_content=1748642578&utm_campaign=Restoring-America&utm_term=" target="_blank">Trump administration has already "permanently damaged" Harvard</a>, says this author. Maybe. But I don't buy his "public credibility" approach. That could flip in five years with the short-sighted American public. No, as Andrew Jackson said of the BUS, "I must kill it, sir. I must kill it." Fortunately for Trump, the peeps be with you: <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/trump-on-13-91959/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">only 32% have "high" confidence in higher ed (down from 57% a decade ago,</a> and a majority think colleges are on the wrong track. Just in time for this story, as <a href="https://www.wsj.com/world/china/china-communist-party-harvard-f855112b?gaa_at=eafs&gaa_n=ASWzDAiYv4oXa-h8BPg1I7o05vZUYEJtBmvn7GOpHQ7imfHkrfTPn2poGLxw&gaa_ts=683d72c0&gaa_sig=19KWePGOO2PsMKJXW0VRc1A6_1icoCMwbjlCZdvHG3ZUbZrJ--PlVkaST-6pk4Vccj9Ft726ho6_POVk5TbVYQ%3D%3D&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">the ChiComs consider Harvard their "Party School" and not as in Spring Break.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>12) Headline: <a href="https://www.aol.com/harvard-wichita-state-colleges-cancel-185613613.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly9mcmVlcmVwdWJsaWMuY29tLw&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAANkM0H_7IP7iWPcTpcs9DIznNUnFX8fT5ZTsMk8Wrj7NQ5M_D9ptd_Q-92QZkx_2qGo9_xtUGwYuzE323rgeIL7IC1h8vV-Feaq2Mpqv-60lliY63bi1g-q0BfAKlq2TVSwkqoXcp1hJELAFWQDvFoi6Cput1oYeTSd1gFPRYz7p" target="_blank">"From Harvard to Wichita State Colleges Cancel Special Ceremonies for Graduates from Marginalized Backgrounds." </a>Real headline: "Colleges refuse to reinstate 'Separate but Equal' DemoKKKrat racism."</p><p><br /> </p><p>13) I had this Friday, but I wanted to digest this more. Jeff Childers seems to be right about everything. His Friday "Coffee and Covid" column <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/chip-of-the-west-saturday-may-31?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=164875306&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">focused on AI</a>, using the window of a new AI-controlled jet fighter as the means of exploring this. (I reported on that Friday). What is new today is that Childers says "we regular folks aren’t witnessing the <i>rise</i> of AI. We’re witnessing its <i>containment</i>." Palmer Lucky with his Anduril is fleshing out a battlefield operating system. His point is that we are worrying about ChatGPT when in fact the real AI is years ahead and we aren't discussing that---or who should control it.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN TRANSOID NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>14) Remember that man,<a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/boxing/article-14771089/Leaked-medical-report-Imane-Khelif-biological-male-Olympics.html" target="_blank"> Imane Khalif, who won a gold medal in Olympic WOMEN'S boxing</a>? Yeah. he's a man, DNA shows.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ECONOMIC NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>15) The <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/business/steel-tariffs-will-double-to-50-percent-trump-announces-at-pittsburgh-rally-5865837?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">U.S. will double steel and aluminum tariff</a>s. President Trump has made clear he isn't fooling around with long-term national security by allowing enemy clubfoots to hold us hostage.</p><p><br /> </p><p>16) Goooo=leeee. The <a href="https://x.com/lion_politics/status/1928488830597796208?t=lhPN5qWbtz3FVgahpU2vxQ&s=03" target="_blank">jobs report </a>was better than expected, <a href="https://x.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1929543421133271475" target="_blank">and manufacturing imports fell.</a> Good. Now let's see the exports report.</p><p><br /> </p><p>17) CVS, meanwhile, <a href="https://dailyvoice.com/ny/roslyn/cvs-to-close-271-locations/" target="_blank">is closing 200 stores nationwide.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>18) The plan for powering AI has emerged:<a href="https://blackmon.substack.com/p/natural-gas-more-than-a-bridge-solution?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=712558&post_id=165000327&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> natural gas in the short term, nukes in the long term.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>19) A new <a href="https://x.com/ForecasterEnten/status/1929544389124116814" target="_blank">CNN poll shows Republicans lead by 8 on the economy</a>, and it freaks out poor Harry Enten.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>20) Green Screen Zelensky used a bunch of truck drones to strike at a big Russkie bomber base, possibly damaging 20% of Russia's bombers. I expect Putin to begin pulling all limitations on troops. He will respond accordingly. <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/06/01/world-news/rubio-doubles-down-on-trumps-call-for-peace-after-ukraine-wipes-out-russias-doomsday-nuclear-bombers/" target="_blank">Rubio has repeated America's call for peace.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>21) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/china/insiders-say-xi-jinpings-exit-could-be-imminent-amid-internal-pushback-5865398?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-06-01&src_cmp=mb-2025-06-01&utm_medium=email&est=4BvWMQN8oG%2BSEKWmrq%2F5thVDbV1l%2Bgy42pqMR3edi4ypT0pp%2FxVkMqD9kQ3WNXZR7p3XVfY%3D" target="_blank">Xi's grip on power may be weakening</a> in Chy-na.</p><p><br /> </p><p>22) This is a start: <a href="https://x.com/CitizenFreePres/status/1928694447245537564" target="_blank">The UN plans to cut its budget by 20% and eliminate 7,000 jobs. </a>How about relocate to Madagascar?</p><p><br /> </p><p>23) The<a href="https://x.com/FaytuksNetwork/status/1929344741449011427" target="_blank"> "right-wing" nationalist candidate, Karol Nawrock-and-Rolli</a> has become Poland's new PM and<a href="https://x.com/Inevitablewest/status/1929452708735439240" target="_blank"> immediately announced Poland will pull out of the EU immigration agreement..</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>24) We have the<a href="https://www.twz.com/air/chinas-j-36-very-heavy-stealth-tactical-jet-photographed-head-on-for-first-time" target="_blank"> first photos of the ChiComs' ultra-big stealth bomber</a>.</p><p><br /> </p><p>25) They don't want to say the M-word: in Austria,<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/shocking-data-shows-massive-demographic-transformation-europe?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=4851" target="_blank"> more than 1/3 of Austrians don't speak German (their native tongue) while almost half of all crime is immigrants.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>26) Wait, I thought sea levels were rising. <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-14771567/South-Africa-RISING-ocean-study.html" target="_blank">Now a new study shows South Africa is rising out of the ocean</a>. Maybe it got lighter when all the Boers, afraid for their lives, left the country.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>27) Imagine that. Disney's non-woke <a href="https://www.boxofficemojo.com/" target="_blank">"Lilo and Stitch" hits $600 million worldwide, </a>throwing the struggling studio a lifeline, while "Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning" slowed to about $350 million worldwide.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CHINA VIRUS NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>28) A new Rasmussen poll shows that <a href="https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/most-americans-now-suspect-heart?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1119676&post_id=164879197&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">half of Americans believe the China Virus vax causes heart damage</a>.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) The fallout from the "Rutabaga actually was a Rutabaga" news keeps dribbling out, and it is no longer surprising. Now we're told that the <a href="https://x.com/thehonestlypod/status/1928504782005719406" target="_blank">senior staff "couldn't believe" they were getting the Hoax News Media to play along with the notion that the Demented Pervert was "sharp as a tack."</a> Good old <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/theyre-ones-lied-chuck-todd-blames-democrats-not-msm-biden-coverup?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=4853" target="_blank">F. Chuck Todd</a> says the DemoKKKrats were the liars, not the lying media. It's a circular firing squad, people.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) President Trump has just launched <a href="https://x.com/pvtjokerus/status/1929235695203164177/photo/1" target="_blank">a new task force on fraud related to homelessness funds.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Kash Patel says the FBI is investigating a "<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/fbi-investigating-targeted-terror-attack-in-boulder-colorado-director-patel-5866352?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-06-01-2&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-06-01-2&utm_medium=email&est=ypsHekheSF8MgRlXIQ2SN%2BtcES6l7vZe8idUovsYM5AsYi1QiYM8g4BmMw9ERTQDiVuyLI0%3D" target="_blank">targeted terror attack"</a> by a Muslim thowing Molotov cocktails at Christians attending a protest. The culprit is an illegal alien---shocked, I tell ya--- and yelled "End Zionists" in his terror rampage. I do believe Kash Patel and Dan Bongino are seeking to rebuild the FBI into a legit institution. Exhibit A, your honor: the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/01/us/politics/fbi-patel.html" target="_blank"><i>New York Slimes</i> is whining about it</a>, so that's a pretty good sign it's happening. Nevertheless, a clear sign that no one yet fears the FBI was this attack. There MUST be high profile arrests of the Russia Hoaxers and the J6 tyrants, as well as a couple of China Virus liars. Then maybe the FBI can recover.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Voter registration continues to move in ONLY one direction, toward Republicans. Here is <a href="https://x.com/Grassroots20244/status/1928790536401596482" target="_blank">NM, where Rs net gained nearly 400</a> (still a long way to go there) and <a href="https://x.com/earlyvotedata/status/1928822058571673693" target="_blank">NC, where the 175,000 DemoKKKrat lead in 2020 is down to 24,000, </a>with Rs having a lead among active voters there of nearly 83,000.<a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1929206305115304042" target="_blank"> FL gets redder,</a> now with another +80,000 net for a statewide margin of R+1.32 million. <a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1929538496915709956/photo/1" target="_blank">NJ shaved another 500 off</a> the D lead there. Oh, and the <i><strong>one bright spot for DemoKKKrats in registration, PA</strong></i> just<a href="https://x.com/Five_Starrr/status/1929536916916961496" target="_blank"> flipped back red by 145 this week.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Meanwhile, <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/06/01/just-another-democratic-lawmaker-announces-switch-republican-party/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">KY state senator Robin Webb switched</a> from the DemoKKKrats to the GOP. Oh, and the latest to say, "Gee, the DemoKKKrats lost their way" is one of the pigjigglers who led them that way, the prancing geyboy <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/walz-to-south-carolina-democrats-we-lost-our-way-as-a-party-5865999?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-06-02&src_cmp=mb-2025-06-02&utm_medium=email&est=5XShYa4XvI9eN3KKh4ZxIwIw%2FUMxrT%2FulVrBgUVVKWk9vTqc9eOYL6rR311dpaTiM8%2FEMgk%3D" target="_blank">Tampon Timmy. </a>He claimed DemoKKKrats used to do "big" "bold" things. You still do, Tampon: you attack the American working class boldly, support Islamic terrorists boldly, allow in illegal criminal invaders boldly, and try to deprive girls of athletic achievements boldly. You are a giant, prancing bold fecalpile. And so is your "bold" party. Oh, and remember how this new wave of DemoKKKrat think-tankers is touting "better management" of cities as their golden ring? Yeah, good times: <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/05/31/nyc-subway-assaults-19-attacks-coming-against-police-officers-stats-show/" target="_blank">NY subway assaults</a> are up 19%. And no, not Jared from Subway molesting kiddies.</p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_795ec7a23291473d9f39e90903ed09c9~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1480,h_1974,al_c,q_90,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_795ec7a23291473d9f39e90903ed09c9~mv2.jpg" alt="" /><p><br /> </p><p>6) <a href="https://www.ctpublic.org/news/2025-02-21/bridgeport-ct-primary-election-charges" target="_blank">Five DemoKKKrats have been charged in the Bridgeport, CT election fraud</a> scandal. Course, a dicknipple "AZ Data Gnu" says this kind of fraud can't happen.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Right now <a href="https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/pete-buttigieg-aoc-2028/2025/05/31/id/1213097/" target="_blank">Buttplugs is leading the DemoKKKrat 2028 race</a>, which is funny. That would be a J.D. Vance 400 EV win.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) The latest evidence shows what we have always known: <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2025/06/02/latest-fbi-revelations-show-the-mueller-special-counsel-was-a-cover-up-and-much-more/" target="_blank">the Mulehead Investigation was a sanitizing/coverup op all along.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>9) D.C. mayor <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/05/31/democrat-mayor-proposes-removing-sanctuary-city-protections/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">Muriel Bow Wow Bowser now wants to remove D.C.'s "sanctuary city" protections for illegal criminals.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>10) Awesome.<a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1929535017346035936" target="_blank"> ICE staged a raid nabbing 1,500 illegals in MA alone.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>11) Boo hoo. The <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/in_focus/3427178/trump-administration-permanently-damaged-harvard/?utm_source=deployer&utm_medium=email&utm_content=1748642578&utm_campaign=Restoring-America&utm_term=" target="_blank">Trump administration has already "permanently damaged" Harvard</a>, says this author. Maybe. But I don't buy his "public credibility" approach. That could flip in five years with the short-sighted American public. No, as Andrew Jackson said of the BUS, "I must kill it, sir. I must kill it." Fortunately for Trump, the peeps be with you: <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/trump-on-13-91959/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">only 32% have "high" confidence in higher ed (down from 57% a decade ago,</a> and a majority think colleges are on the wrong track. Just in time for this story, as <a href="https://www.wsj.com/world/china/china-communist-party-harvard-f855112b?gaa_at=eafs&gaa_n=ASWzDAiYv4oXa-h8BPg1I7o05vZUYEJtBmvn7GOpHQ7imfHkrfTPn2poGLxw&gaa_ts=683d72c0&gaa_sig=19KWePGOO2PsMKJXW0VRc1A6_1icoCMwbjlCZdvHG3ZUbZrJ--PlVkaST-6pk4Vccj9Ft726ho6_POVk5TbVYQ%3D%3D&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">the ChiComs consider Harvard their "Party School" and not as in Spring Break.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>12) Headline: <a href="https://www.aol.com/harvard-wichita-state-colleges-cancel-185613613.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly9mcmVlcmVwdWJsaWMuY29tLw&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAANkM0H_7IP7iWPcTpcs9DIznNUnFX8fT5ZTsMk8Wrj7NQ5M_D9ptd_Q-92QZkx_2qGo9_xtUGwYuzE323rgeIL7IC1h8vV-Feaq2Mpqv-60lliY63bi1g-q0BfAKlq2TVSwkqoXcp1hJELAFWQDvFoi6Cput1oYeTSd1gFPRYz7p" target="_blank">"From Harvard to Wichita State Colleges Cancel Special Ceremonies for Graduates from Marginalized Backgrounds." </a>Real headline: "Colleges refuse to reinstate 'Separate but Equal' DemoKKKrat racism."</p><p><br /> </p><p>13) I had this Friday, but I wanted to digest this more. Jeff Childers seems to be right about everything. His Friday "Coffee and Covid" column <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/chip-of-the-west-saturday-may-31?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=164875306&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">focused on AI</a>, using the window of a new AI-controlled jet fighter as the means of exploring this. (I reported on that Friday). What is new today is that Childers says "we regular folks aren’t witnessing the <i>rise</i> of AI. We’re witnessing its <i>containment</i>." Palmer Lucky with his Anduril is fleshing out a battlefield operating system. His point is that we are worrying about ChatGPT when in fact the real AI is years ahead and we aren't discussing that---or who should control it.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN TRANSOID NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>14) Remember that man,<a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/boxing/article-14771089/Leaked-medical-report-Imane-Khelif-biological-male-Olympics.html" target="_blank"> Imane Khalif, who won a gold medal in Olympic WOMEN'S boxing</a>? Yeah. he's a man, DNA shows.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ECONOMIC NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>15) The <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/business/steel-tariffs-will-double-to-50-percent-trump-announces-at-pittsburgh-rally-5865837?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">U.S. will double steel and aluminum tariff</a>s. President Trump has made clear he isn't fooling around with long-term national security by allowing enemy clubfoots to hold us hostage.</p><p><br /> </p><p>16) Goooo=leeee.

I expect Putin to begin pulling all limitations on troops. He will respond accordingly. <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/06/01/world-news/rubio-doubles-down-on-trumps-call-for-peace-after-ukraine-wipes-out-russias-doomsday-nuclear-bombers/" target="_blank">Rubio has repeated America's call for peace.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>21) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/china/insiders-say-xi-jinpings-exit-could-be-imminent-amid-internal-pushback-5865398?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-06-01&src_cmp=mb-2025-06-01&utm_medium=email&est=4BvWMQN8oG%2BSEKWmrq%2F5thVDbV1l%2Bgy42pqMR3edi4ypT0pp%2FxVkMqD9kQ3WNXZR7p3XVfY%3D" target="_blank">Xi's grip on power may be weakening</a> in Chy-na.</p><p><br /> </p><p>22) This is a start: <a href="https://x.com/CitizenFreePres/status/1928694447245537564" target="_blank">The UN plans to cut its budget by 20% and eliminate 7,000 jobs. </a>How about relocate to Madagascar?</p><p><br /> </p><p>23) The<a href="https://x.com/FaytuksNetwork/status/1929344741449011427" target="_blank"> "right-wing" nationalist candidate, Karol Nawrock-and-Rolli</a> has become Poland's new PM and<a href="https://x.com/Inevitablewest/status/1929452708735439240" target="_blank"> immediately announced Poland will pull out of the EU immigration agreement..</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>24) We have the<a href="https://www.twz.com/air/chinas-j-36-very-heavy-stealth-tactical-jet-photographed-head-on-for-first-time" target="_blank"> first photos of the ChiComs' ultra-big stealth bomber</a>.</p><p><br /> </p><p>25) They don't want to say the M-word: in Austria,<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/shocking-data-shows-massive-demographic-transformation-europe?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=4851" target="_blank"> more than 1/3 of Austrians don't speak German (their native tongue) while almost half of all crime is immigrants.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>26) Wait, I thought sea levels were rising. <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-14771567/South-Africa-RISING-ocean-study.html" target="_blank">Now a new study shows South Africa is rising out of the ocean</a>.

      <description><![CDATA[<h3><br />IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) <a href="https://x.com/PpollingNumbers/status/1928449102141899045" target="_blank">President Trump now at 53% approval.</a> When the dust over the tariffs and illegals settle, Trump will be in the 60s.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Another chowderbiscuit judge, this time from some "Court of International Trade" (do we really need this?) blocked his tariffs. No big deal,<a href="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/29/trump-expected-to-find-a-workaround-after-trade-court-blocks-tariffs.html&source=gmail&ust=1748612543888000&usg=AOvVaw17zxKpUKS_8D5WKzpFShZN" target="_blank"> say economists at Goldman Sachs.</a> He has multiple workarounds. In fact, it "might not change the final outcome for most major US trading partners,” Goldman Sachs economists said in a research note. “For now, we expect the Trump administration will find other ways to impose tariffs,” they added. Then, almost immediately, <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2025/5/29/federal-appeals-court-temporarily-reinstates-trump-tariffs" target="_blank">an appeals court shot this down before the email cache could be cleared.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>3) In its first of many reduction bills tied to DOGE, the <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/white-house-sending-9-4-billion-doge-cuts-package-congress-next-week" target="_blank">White House has already sent $9.4 billion in cuts to Congress. </a>We'll see if they act. Elon Musk said he was <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/05/28/elon-musk-disappointed-trump-big-beautiful-bill/" target="_blank">"disappointed"</a> in the "Big Beautiful Bill."</p><p><br /> </p><p>NOTE: It's time for some historical reality here. First, Stephen Miller explained that DOGE cuts could not be included in the "Big Beautiful Bill" because of the classification. They had to be submitted later after the bill was passed. The first batch was already sent out. Get it. FIRST BATCH. This won't be the last, and my guess is that ultimately almost every DOGE cut will make it over to Congress. Second, the constant whine on X and other social media ("Where are the arrests?" "Why are we only deporting 1,000 illegal a day?") is getting old. Apparently no one has ever read a U.S. history book. I can suggest one. The <i><strong>nature of American government as established by the Founders is to make change as difficult as possible; to provide multiple checks and balances (yes, including courts, even when we don't like them); and to prevent revolutions. </strong></i>With the exception of FDR, Trump has moved faster, and done more in less time than any President in history---and FDR had the near-universal agreement that the Great Depression was a calamity of the first order, as well as having a 2/3 majority of Congress and the courts at his back. So far, Trump is on a pace to issue about 450 executive orders in his first year, or 30% MORE than FDR. And, as I said in my substack the other day,<a href="https://larrys.substack.com/p/culture-will-codify-trumps-exec-orders" target="_blank"> "Culture will codify these Executive Orders,</a>" not Congress and they won't be changed in the future because they will be a part of life. So please stop whining.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) The FBI will <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/fbi-probe-claims-targeted-violence-against-religious-groups-after-evangelicals-protest-seattle" target="_blank">probe "targeted violence" at Christians and conservatives</a> in a Seattle rally.

In fact, it "might not change the final outcome for most major US trading partners,” Goldman Sachs economists said in a research note. “For now, we expect the Trump administration will find other ways to impose tariffs,” they added. Then, almost immediately, <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2025/5/29/federal-appeals-court-temporarily-reinstates-trump-tariffs" target="_blank">an appeals court shot this down before the email cache could be cleared.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>3) In its first of many reduction bills tied to DOGE, the <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/white-house-sending-9-4-billion-doge-cuts-package-congress-next-week" target="_blank">White House has already sent $9.4 billion in cuts to Congress. </a>We'll see if they act. Elon Musk said he was <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/05/28/elon-musk-disappointed-trump-big-beautiful-bill/" target="_blank">"disappointed"</a> in the "Big Beautiful Bill."</p><p><br /> </p><p>NOTE: It's time for some historical reality here. First, Stephen Miller explained that DOGE cuts could not be included in the "Big Beautiful Bill" because of the classification. They had to be submitted later after the bill was passed. The first batch was already sent out. Get it. FIRST BATCH. This won't be the last, and my guess is that ultimately almost every DOGE cut will make it over to Congress. Second, the constant whine on X and other social media ("Where are the arrests?" "Why are we only deporting 1,000 illegal a day?") is getting old. Apparently no one has ever read a U.S. history book. I can suggest one. The <i><strong>nature of American government as established by the Founders is to make change as difficult as possible; to provide multiple checks and balances (yes, including courts, even when we don't like them); and to prevent revolutions. </strong></i>With the exception of FDR, Trump has moved faster, and done more in less time than any President in history---and FDR had the near-universal agreement that the Great Depression was a calamity of the first order, as well as having a 2/3 majority of Congress and the courts at his back. So far, Trump is on a pace to issue about 450 executive orders in his first year, or 30% MORE than FDR. And, as I said in my substack the other day,<a href="https://larrys.substack.com/p/culture-will-codify-trumps-exec-orders" target="_blank"> "Culture will codify these Executive Orders,</a>" not Congress and they won't be changed in the future because they will be a part of life. So please stop whining.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) The FBI will <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/fbi-probe-claims-targeted-violence-against-religious-groups-after-evangelicals-protest-seattle" target="_blank">probe "targeted violence" at Christians and conservatives</a> in a Seattle rally. Of course the evil <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/seattle-mayor-accused-lying-after-blaming-christian-rally-park-violence" target="_blank">Seattle mayor says violence is all the Christians' fault.</a> Moreover, the FBI is looking into the <i>Dobbs</i> leak, the pipe bomber, the White House coke, and multiple other issues.

Never before has a president enjoyed this level of alignment across every axis of executive power —national security, public health, foreign policy, education, and the courts— and used it not to entrench a legacy, but to eradicate his enemies’ institutional infrastructure." Powerful stuff, that.</p><p><br /> </p><p>14) In justice-related news, Dan Bongino says the <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/05/29/dan-bongino-fbi-video-epstein-suicide/" target="_blank">FBI will soon release the video footage</a> of Jeffrey (He-didn't-kill-himself-did-he?)

      <itunes:summary>President Trump’s approval rating has risen to 53% amid multiple political developments including legal wins, tariff enforcement, and aggressive executive actions. Despite judicial blocks, tariffs remain largely in effect, and Trump is pursuing significant budget cuts tied to DOGE. The FBI is investigating multiple incidents, including violence against conservatives, and revoking visas for Chinese students amid espionage concerns. Major reorganizations and dismissals continue across federal departments. Economic indicators show strong performance with rising GDP, declining inflation, and manufacturing investments shifting back to the U.S. Trump also advances international trade enforcement, voter registration gains, and legal action against media and institutions. Cultural and policy battles intensify around immigration, transgender issues, education, and COVID origins. Internationally, tensions with China grow, Merkel calls for more immigration, and Israel uses new defense tech. In entertainment, Trump advances lawsuits, and in health, the Senate probes the COVID cover-up. A 20-foot shark sighting off Block Island wraps the news with a pop-culture nod.</itunes:summary>

      <title>Today&apos;s News, May 27-28, 2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>i 1) In a big developing scandal of a story (how big remains to be seen), the Fellowship of the Autopen seems to be growing. Yesterday, it was asserted that <a href="https://thedefiant.io/news/regulation/trump-s-crypto-czar-accuses-elizabeth-warren-using-biden-s-autopen-to-target-0799ab2e" target="_blank">Senator Elizabeth Warren</a> (ComanChe) was the Custodian of the Autopen. Now, understand that claim was made by Trump's "cryptoczar" David Sacks, and only in the context of blocking crypto. Otherwise, that makes no sense at all, and doesn't pass the Frijole Fart Club Smell Test. I haven't read everything on Team Rutabaga, but everything that I have read cited three people surrounding the Demented Pervert who could/would have used said autopen: Chief of Staff (until the last few weeks) Ron Klain, Anita Dunn, and the Senior Skank. Today that has been confirmed yet again by the <i>Atlantic</i>, which h<a href="https://www.pbs.org/weta/washingtonweek/video/2025/05/protective-politburo-hid-bidens-decline-tapper-and-thompson-say" target="_blank">as called them a "Protective Politburo."</a> The Glandgobbling Gulag is probably a more apt term, but nevertheless, the <i>Atlantic</i> (soon to be the Salton Sea if readership continues to fall) continues to be exposed by Jake Fakey Tapper in his "for the money" tour touting his book <i>Original Sin</i>---all the while he pretends, gee, he didn't know.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Another day, another warning from John Halpin on the "<a href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/the-psychology-of-party-decline?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=239058&post_id=164568115&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Psychology of Party [ i.e., DemoKKKrat] decline."</a> These guys at <i>Liberal Patriot</i> are doing everything in their power to turn around the DemoKKKrat lemmings who are leaping off Niagara Falls. What he still fails to grasp is history: the Federalists died because they never did "run" (no campaigns then) on issues, but rather qualifications. The Liberty/Know-Nothings never survived because they were single issue parties. But the DemoKKKrats' real model right now is the Whigs . . . but worse. The Whigs <i>ignored</i> the biggest issue of the day, slavery. The DemoKKKrats are not only not ignoring the four biggest issues of the day, but are on the wrong side of all of them: illegal immigration, woke/transoidism, anti-semitism/pro-Hamas Murder Pirates, and AI energy needs. I give them a decade, at best. Meanwhile, yet another argument is that "oh, noo, <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/05/27/dems-tell-members-ditch-not-normal-left-wing-language/" target="_blank">it's only because DemoKKKrats are "talking like professors."</a> Just change the words. Everything is fine."</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) A polling stunner from Rasmussen: "For the first time in our history <a href="https://x.com/honestpollster/status/1927338055813288068" target="_blank">a majority of Americans say we are on the right track."</a> Patrick Basham's <a href="https://x.com/PatrickBashamDI/status/1927432651557789750" target="_blank">Democracy Institute finds the same thing, with President Trump at 52%.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Indiana has started work to annex some Illinois counties. <a href="https://skeshel.substack.com/p/what-if-indiana-took-over-a-quarter?utm_campaign=email-half-post&r=dx45b&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Seth Keshel </a>looks at the political impact if, indeed, Indiana can pull it off. It would move about 8 EVs to the GOP.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Majorie Taylor Greene says she was told the<a href="https://x.com/repmtg/status/1927698559140327574?s=46&t=oXM3QUNDayEotvdo1W-zQA" target="_blank"> first of many DOGE cut votes is coming Monday.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Good. Remember when three aides to SecDef Pete Hegseth (of the non-interventionist variety) were fired last month? <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/may/27/hegseth-pentagon-leak-investigation-wiretap" target="_blank">Now the Trump administration is reviewing those and concluded it doesn't believe the (pro-interventionist) Pentagon sources. </a></p><p><br /> </p><p>7) BLM booted an official who resisted DOGE cuts.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) A good piece on <a href="https://www.thefp.com/p/magas-machiavelli-the-quiet-rise-of-michael-anton?utm_campaign=260347&utm_source=cross-post&r=dx45b&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Michael Anton, the MAGA Machiavelli </a>who has a terrific grasp on international policy in the Trump era and who is increasingly directing policy. Anton wrote the highly influential "Flight 93 Election" that swayed Rush Limbaugh to become a Trump supporter.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) I love it. President Trump's team is teeing up <a href="https://x.com/ElectionWiz/status/1927681484019646943" target="_blank">a whole new libel/slander suit against CBS for calling him a "mob boss."</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>10) Just great. Now we have <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/fight-dc-91877/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">an altercation between two Secret Service women agents when one was late showing up</a>. Imagine that. A woman being late.</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) Trump <a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/new-trump-scores-major-court-victory-in-tariff-dispute-cmc/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank">won a major tariff related court victory.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>12) Trump officials are accelerating<a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1927713890952958441" target="_blank"> toward arresting 3,000 illegal criminals per day, up from 300 a month ago.</a> Probably need to hit at least 10,000 a day to have a serious impact.</p><p><br /> </p><p>13) Due to Trump's incredible success in shutting down the illegal invaders, <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/05/27/border-patrol-officials-shut-down-migrant-processing-center/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">San Diego is shutting down an entire processing center.</a> It's empty.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>14) Christopher Rufo makes a good case of why <a href="https://christopherrufo.com/p/santa-ono-should-not-be-university?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1248321&post_id=164587438&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Santa Ono should not be president of the University of Florida.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>15) This is one for the (text) books, as <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/05/27/us-news/harvard-professor-of-honesty-stripped-of-tenure-fired-for-manipulating-data-in-studies/?utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=nypost&utm_medium=social" target="_blank">a star Harvard business prof was stripped of tenure and fired for falsifying data</a>. . . on her studies on dishonesty.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN TRANSOID NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>16) President Trump threatens to cut Kollyfornia's federal funds <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/05/27/us-news/president-trump-threatens-to-cut-californias-federal-funds-over-trans-policy-demeaning-to-women/" target="_blank">if the state continues to allow men to compete in girls' events.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>17) The Navy <a href="https://news.usni.org/2025/05/27/navy-details-new-separation-policy-for-sailors-with-gender-dysphoria?utm_source=USNI+News&utm_campaign=1ff3fba2c4-USNI_NEWS_DAILY&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_0dd4a1450b-1ff3fba2c4-230377553&mc_cid=1ff3fba2c4" target="_blank">outlined its new separation policy for screwed up transoids</a>. But I repeat myself.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ECONOMIC NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>18) Contrary to claims from the Hoax News media, <a href="https://wolfstreet.com/2025/05/27/durable-goods-orders-made-ugly-headlines-today-but-the-3-month-average-which-irons-out-aircraft-orders-rose-to-a-record/" target="_blank">durable goods orders rose.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>19) AI now a rival of Apple with a <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/tech/openais-6-5b-new-acquisition-signals-apples-biggest-ai-crisis-yet" target="_blank">new acquisition by OpenAI of Jony Ive</a>.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>20) <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/media-told-you-over-and-over-isnt-happening?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=4827" target="_blank">Blacks in South Africa sing "Shoot to kill!

I think the reality of "green" is catching up---people realize the severe limitations and high cost of EVs. Take a look at the <a href="https://www.morningstar.com/news/marketwatch/2025052726/byd-has-been-grabbing-market-share-from-tesla-its-shares-are-tanking-after-price-cuts" target="_blank">ChiCom EV maker trying to replace Tesla</a>.

The bad WHO.</p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_4231e904c574466fa66d8f1ca40b1427~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_700,h_446,al_c,lg_1,q_80,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_4231e904c574466fa66d8f1ca40b1427~mv2.jpg" alt="" /><p><br /> </p><p><br /> </p><p>24) Muy Macho Marco announced that the <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/rubio-announces-visa-restrictions-on-foreign-nationals-involved-in-censoring-americans-5864452?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">U.S. will begin denying VISAs of foreign officials involved in censoring U.S. free speech.</a> (I'm guessing that of Elon Musk, among others)</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>25) Here is a great article by <a href="https://thegoldenmean2040.substack.com/p/are-these-people-really-people-am?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=2139060&post_id=164542807&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Michael Golden on CGI's future in Hollywood/movies. </a>He argues that it is limited, that it can never capture the nuances of real people. I agree, based on my experience of listening to rock music. I can always tell if it's a live drummer or a machine. I don't care how clever the programmers are, live players have tiny tells---a half-second lag here, an unexpected and totally unpredictable bass line there, a weirdly placed (yet appropriate) cymbal crash. Watch videos of Todd Sucherman, who drums for STYX as he hits every accent.</p><p><br /> </p><p>26) Another Disney disaster as the woke-ized "Dr. Who" ratings collapse: a <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2025/05/27/disney-disaster-woke-politics-tanking-doctor-who-ratings-fuel-100-million-mouse-house-nightmare/" target="_blank">"$100 million Mouse House nightmare."</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>27) <a href="https://deadline.com/2025/05/box-office-lilo-stitch-wild-mission-impossible-final-reckoning-1236409244/" target="_blank">"Lilo and Stitch" and "Mission Impossible" </a>dominate the box office.

The editor of the <i>New England Journal of Medicine </i>admitted "It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines." Richard Horton, editor of the <i>Lancet</i>, agreed: "much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue." Not only will gubment researchers stop publishing in these hall-of-mirror chowderhouses, but NIH will allocate 20% of its total funding (!!!) to <i><strong>replicating studies.</strong></i> Folks, this is an off-the-charts sea change.</p><p><br /> </p><p>29) Oh, and while he was at it, Kennedy announced <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/cdc-stops-recommending-covid-vaccine-for-healthy-children-pregnant-women-5863960?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-05-27-1&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-05-27-1&utm_medium=email&est=6h9MvS8%2FmdPtdice6UVRol%2BMdL0%2BoQYcDpHhCF9aKj97SL88r6lladLTvSbW46M7%2FzTE7MA%3D" target="_blank">the withdrawal of key China Virus vax recommendations for healthy children and pregnant women.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>AND FINALLY . . .</h3><p><br /> </p><p>30) <a href="https://notthebee.com/article/this-might-be-the-most-florida-man-story-ive-ever-come-across?utm_source=Not+The+Bee+Newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=05282025" target="_blank">This bizarre story has been making the rounds.</a> It seems a Florida man, who was already suspected of being high on something, swam in a gator-infested pond and was bitten on the arm. Police, having already been hailed, arrived as he ran from them and "growled." Then he picked up garden shears and threatened them, driving them out of their police cruiser. They shot him with a stun gun. Nothing. (Course, he didn't seem to mind that he'd been bitten by an alligator, either). Finally they had to shoot him with bullets when he began unhooking the rifle in the cop car.</p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_0d374acf906b4f4e8682eff0e2078522~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_90,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_0d374acf906b4f4e8682eff0e2078522~mv2.png" alt="" />

Today that has been confirmed yet again by the <i>Atlantic</i>, which h<a href="https://www.pbs.org/weta/washingtonweek/video/2025/05/protective-politburo-hid-bidens-decline-tapper-and-thompson-say" target="_blank">as called them a "Protective Politburo."</a> The Glandgobbling Gulag is probably a more apt term, but nevertheless, the <i>Atlantic</i> (soon to be the Salton Sea if readership continues to fall) continues to be exposed by Jake Fakey Tapper in his "for the money" tour touting his book <i>Original Sin</i>---all the while he pretends, gee, he didn't know.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Another day, another warning from John Halpin on the "<a href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/the-psychology-of-party-decline?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=239058&post_id=164568115&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Psychology of Party [ i.e., DemoKKKrat] decline."</a> These guys at <i>Liberal Patriot</i> are doing everything in their power to turn around the DemoKKKrat lemmings who are leaping off Niagara Falls. What he still fails to grasp is history: the Federalists died because they never did "run" (no campaigns then) on issues, but rather qualifications. The Liberty/Know-Nothings never survived because they were single issue parties. But the DemoKKKrats' real model right now is the Whigs . . . but worse. The Whigs <i>ignored</i> the biggest issue of the day, slavery. The DemoKKKrats are not only not ignoring the four biggest issues of the day, but are on the wrong side of all of them: illegal immigration, woke/transoidism, anti-semitism/pro-Hamas Murder Pirates, and AI energy needs. I give them a decade, at best. Meanwhile, yet another argument is that "oh, noo, <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/05/27/dems-tell-members-ditch-not-normal-left-wing-language/" target="_blank">it's only because DemoKKKrats are "talking like professors."</a> Just change the words.

As Childers points out, relatively speaking we have been in an invention "deep freeze" for 25 years, and that is about to change in a big way.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Trump's team has <a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/new-trump-team-boasts-600m-war-chest-for-midterms-mstef/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank">already raised $600 million for the midterms</a>, essentially rendering the NRCC irrelevant.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) DOJ Attorney Ed Martin, in charge of the "government weaponization" task force, has found that among others, <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/dojs-biden-91764/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">Ron Klain and Anita Dunn---Rutabaga's two main gatekeepers---were the Custodians of the Autopen.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>9) The <a href="https://www.denver7.com/news/front-range/denver/denver-mayor-announces-furloughs-and-hiring-freeze-as-city-faces-250-million-budget-deficit" target="_blank">mayor of Denver announced furloughs and hiring freezes as the city is $250 million in debt</a>.

Forget for a moment that he rightly says, "Not much." That's another column, and I've discussed it at length. No, he unfortunately descends into the lamentations of John McTurd, more or less, complaining that we have reached the point of total war. (I really think he wants an excuse to attack Trump, but can't find one). Anyway, yes we have, and while this may be bloody and dirty, it's what happens in a Republic when your institutions simply refuse to solve problems. The people do, either by electing someone who is ruthless in solving problems (like Trump) or in violent revolution. And the people do not relent til the problem is solved.

      <title>Today&apos;s News, May 20-22, 2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) As bad as the Republicans' performance in Congress has been, it is becoming clear that, well, at least they don't want to kill you as the DemoKKKrats do. Hence,<a href="https://x.com/OpenSourceZone/status/1924564690526421414?t=4J9xm5hYyIjKQ0qYBapeYw&s=03" target="_blank"> the GOP generic approval is at 52%</a>, a 10-point lead over the Party of Evil. And in the wake of Trump's successful Middle East Peace and Prosperity for All tour, <a href="https://x.com/PpollingNumbers/status/1924647105655644383?t=0a3CLVVEcyUIGbExYcWJBw&s=03" target="_blank">his approval now is back to 55%</a>, an 11 point lead.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) The House passed the "Big Beautiful Reconciliation Bill" that killed wind and solar subsidies, eliminated the tax on tips by a single vote with several Rs being obstructionist and 3 DemoKKKrats dead, made other tax cuts permanent, and no, did not eliminate the tax on Social Security. One step at a time. By the way, the margin of victory was that of three dead DemoKKKrats who have yet to be replaced. Seth Keshel provides a good analysis of the bill <a href="https://skeshel.substack.com/p/breaking-house-passes-one-big-beautiful?utm_campaign=email-half-post&r=dx45b&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">here.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_7d4da7d79c094b09b5880fe6dec1925c~mv2.webp/v1/fill/w_1199,h_1230,al_c,q_85,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_7d4da7d79c094b09b5880fe6dec1925c~mv2.webp" alt="" /><p><br /> </p><p>2) Phil Collins sang there is "something in the air tonight. Oh Lord!" Well I have little real evidence---mostly a Spidey sense tingle---but it <i>seems</i> like we're on the cusp of major DOJ moves against the Cabal. First, cleaning up some old garbage, a former contractor to USAID was <a href="https://x.com/ExxAlerts/status/1924603894404936069?t=EDaYvAh2Y3aAGgAYHwsfOQ&s=03" target="_blank">extradited to the U.S. and convicted and sentenced for conspiracy to commit fraud. </a>Then DemoKKKrat Congresswoman LaMonica McIver was charged by N.J. Federal Prosecutor Alina Habba for assaulting law enforcement officers and arrested. However, , the mayor of Newark, who entered the ICE facility with McIver, was released, presumably because there was not assault charge. Then <a href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/05/19/justice-department-chicago-alleged-racially-motivated-hiring/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Pam Bondi's DOJ announced an investigation of Chicago Mayor "Let's Go" Brandon Johnso</a>n for racial hiring.. Then Bondi announced a <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2025/05/17/trump-justice-department-prosecutions/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">reconsideration of a Rutabaga-era rule</a> that prohibited the DOJ from investigating corrupt congressmen, then followed that up by (allegedly) rescinding another Rutabaga-era rule that <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2025/04/25/justice-leak-investigations-reporters-email-phone-records-bondi/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">would allow investigators to search reporters' phone records to find leakers.</a> Of all the things that this DOJ has done---and it's MANY---it appears that clamping down on leakers is near the top. Then<a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/05/21/doj-launches-investigation-andrew-cuomo-covid-nursing-home/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank"> Bondi announced an investigation of Andrew (Nipplepin Venthoarder) Cuomo</a> for nursing home deaths during Covid. Step by step.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Meanwhile in D.C., newly-appointed Judge Jeanine Piro <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/05/20/us-news/retired-four-star-admiral-found-guilty-of-bribery-after-accepting-500k-per-year-job-in-exchange-for-lucrative-navy-contract/" target="_blank">notched her first win with the successful sentencing of former 4-star Admiral Robert Burke on charges of bribery.</a> And Ed Martin, the new "weaponization czar," says<a href="https://thenewamerican.com/us/politics/accountability-is-coming-says-new-doj-weaponization-group-director/" target="_blank"> "accountability is coming."</a> I"m way past accountability. That was in 2016. I want revenge. Painful revenge. To that end, President Trump announced <a href="https://x.com/nicksortor/status/1924815090647261445" target="_blank">they are going to investigate who used the autopen and whether it was legit.</a> And the <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2025/05/21/fifth-column-muslim-brotherhood-infiltrated-european-institutions-islamic-associations-migrant-communities-in-bid-to-destroy-west-french-govt-report-finds/" target="_blank">FBI just terminated Count Dooku (Jack Smith's) "public corruption" squad.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Jarrett Stepman is correct when he says that<a href="https://www.dailysignal.com/2025/05/19/historic-scandal-bidens-deep-state-presidency/" target="_blank"> Rutabaga's was the "first deep state presidency." </a>I kept saying his government was run by cabals, as he was brain dead. This is what a Hitleresque government looked like, with different schemers in different departments pushing their individual agendas. He <a href="https://www.dailysignal.com/2025/02/13/heres-why-left-cant-quit-deep-state/" target="_blank">correctly argued in a previous column</a>, as have I, that the DemoKKKrats "jes kain't hep it," and that they are tied to the Deep State no matter what the electoral consequences. We will keep uncovering more hideous, illegal behavior because as he notes the Biden presidency was a "scandal of historic proportions."</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) The <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/21/gerry-connolly-dies-cancer.html" target="_blank">GOP in the House extended its majority by yet one more</a> (Two others died a couple of months ago) as vaxxed Gerry Connally of Virginia shed his mortal coil. GOP majority is now 8. But the GOP, on the other hand, has the scandal of Congresswoman Nancy Mace displaying her breasticles in pictures, claiming that the pics were taken without her consent (begging the question of how did someone get a camera within mammary range?) and now<a href="https://www.youtube.com/shorts/mqXVPAxFc1Q" target="_blank"> PA Congressman Ryan Mackenzie is involved in a scandal about lying about his age on TINDER.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Under Trump,<a href="https://protrumpnews.com/trump-effect-federal-law-enforcement-border-security-applications-surging/" target="_blank"> federal law enforcement and border security applications are soaring.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Ongoing investigation into J6 Patriot Day shows that the<a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/new-doj-drops-bombshell-reveals-extensive-fbi-involvement-in-j6-mstef/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank"> FBI had some 26 "informants" bussed in to the protest.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Now the coverup is that Rutabaga "may not have known" about his aggressive Stage 4 cancer because <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Health/biden-aggressive-prostate-cancer-recently/story?id=121957364" target="_blank">they didn't do the standard PSA test on him because it "cost too much."</a> Seriously. It didn't "cost too much" to shut down entire cities for him to swoop in and do a speech, or to go on vacation more than even Congress. Noooooo.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) As bad as the Republicans' performance in Congress has been, it is becoming clear that, well, at least they don't want to kill you as the DemoKKKrats do. Hence,<a href="https://x.com/OpenSourceZone/status/1924564690526421414?t=4J9xm5hYyIjKQ0qYBapeYw&s=03" target="_blank"> the GOP generic approval is at 52%</a>, a 10-point lead over the Party of Evil. And in the wake of Trump's successful Middle East Peace and Prosperity for All tour, <a href="https://x.com/PpollingNumbers/status/1924647105655644383?t=0a3CLVVEcyUIGbExYcWJBw&s=03" target="_blank">his approval now is back to 55%</a>, an 11 point lead.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) The House passed the "Big Beautiful Reconciliation Bill" that killed wind and solar subsidies, eliminated the tax on tips by a single vote with several Rs being obstructionist and 3 DemoKKKrats dead, made other tax cuts permanent, and no, did not eliminate the tax on Social Security. One step at a time. By the way, the margin of victory was that of three dead DemoKKKrats who have yet to be replaced. Seth Keshel provides a good analysis of the bill <a href="https://skeshel.substack.com/p/breaking-house-passes-one-big-beautiful?utm_campaign=email-half-post&r=dx45b&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">here.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_7d4da7d79c094b09b5880fe6dec1925c~mv2.webp/v1/fill/w_1199,h_1230,al_c,q_85,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_7d4da7d79c094b09b5880fe6dec1925c~mv2.webp" alt="" /><p><br /> </p><p>2) Phil Collins sang there is "something in the air tonight. Oh Lord!" Well I have little real evidence---mostly a Spidey sense tingle---but it <i>seems</i> like we're on the cusp of major DOJ moves against the Cabal. First, cleaning up some old garbage, a former contractor to USAID was <a href="https://x.com/ExxAlerts/status/1924603894404936069?t=EDaYvAh2Y3aAGgAYHwsfOQ&s=03" target="_blank">extradited to the U.S. and convicted and sentenced for conspiracy to commit fraud. </a>Then DemoKKKrat Congresswoman LaMonica McIver was charged by N.J. Federal Prosecutor Alina Habba for assaulting law enforcement officers and arrested. However, , the mayor of Newark, who entered the ICE facility with McIver, was released, presumably because there was not assault charge. Then <a href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/05/19/justice-department-chicago-alleged-racially-motivated-hiring/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Pam Bondi's DOJ announced an investigation of Chicago Mayor "Let's Go" Brandon Johnso</a>n for racial hiring.. Then Bondi announced a <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2025/05/17/trump-justice-department-prosecutions/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">reconsideration of a Rutabaga-era rule</a> that prohibited the DOJ from investigating corrupt congressmen, then followed that up by (allegedly) rescinding another Rutabaga-era rule that <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2025/04/25/justice-leak-investigations-reporters-email-phone-records-bondi/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">would allow investigators to search reporters' phone records to find leakers.</a> Of all the things that this DOJ has done---and it's MANY---it appears that clamping down on leakers is near the top. Then<a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/05/21/doj-launches-investigation-andrew-cuomo-covid-nursing-home/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank"> Bondi announced an investigation of Andrew (Nipplepin Venthoarder) Cuomo</a> for nursing home deaths during Covid. Step by step.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Meanwhile in D.C., newly-appointed Judge Jeanine Piro <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/05/20/us-news/retired-four-star-admiral-found-guilty-of-bribery-after-accepting-500k-per-year-job-in-exchange-for-lucrative-navy-contract/" target="_blank">notched her first win with the successful sentencing of former 4-star Admiral Robert Burke on charges of bribery.</a> And Ed Martin, the new "weaponization czar," says<a href="https://thenewamerican.com/us/politics/accountability-is-coming-says-new-doj-weaponization-group-director/" target="_blank"> "accountability is coming."</a> I"m way past accountability. That was in 2016. I want revenge. Painful revenge. To that end, President Trump announced <a href="https://x.com/nicksortor/status/1924815090647261445" target="_blank">they are going to investigate who used the autopen and whether it was legit.</a> And the <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2025/05/21/fifth-column-muslim-brotherhood-infiltrated-european-institutions-islamic-associations-migrant-communities-in-bid-to-destroy-west-french-govt-report-finds/" target="_blank">FBI just terminated Count Dooku (Jack Smith's) "public corruption" squad.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Jarrett Stepman is correct when he says that<a href="https://www.dailysignal.com/2025/05/19/historic-scandal-bidens-deep-state-presidency/" target="_blank"> Rutabaga's was the "first deep state presidency." </a>I kept saying his government was run by cabals, as he was brain dead. This is what a Hitleresque government looked like, with different schemers in different departments pushing their individual agendas. He <a href="https://www.dailysignal.com/2025/02/13/heres-why-left-cant-quit-deep-state/" target="_blank">correctly argued in a previous column</a>, as have I, that the DemoKKKrats "jes kain't hep it," and that they are tied to the Deep State no matter what the electoral consequences.

GOP majority is now 8. But the GOP, on the other hand, has the scandal of Congresswoman Nancy Mace displaying her breasticles in pictures, claiming that the pics were taken without her consent (begging the question of how did someone get a camera within mammary range?) and now<a href="https://www.youtube.com/shorts/mqXVPAxFc1Q" target="_blank"> PA Congressman Ryan Mackenzie is involved in a scandal about lying about his age on TINDER.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Under Trump,<a href="https://protrumpnews.com/trump-effect-federal-law-enforcement-border-security-applications-surging/" target="_blank"> federal law enforcement and border security applications are soaring.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Ongoing investigation into J6 Patriot Day shows that the<a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/new-doj-drops-bombshell-reveals-extensive-fbi-involvement-in-j6-mstef/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank"> FBI had some 26 "informants" bussed in to the protest.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Now the coverup is that Rutabaga "may not have known" about his aggressive Stage 4 cancer because <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Health/biden-aggressive-prostate-cancer-recently/story?id=121957364" target="_blank">they didn't do the standard PSA test on him because it "cost too much."</a> Seriously. It didn't "cost too much" to shut down entire cities for him to swoop in and do a speech, or to go on vacation more than even Congress. Noooooo.

More delusion.</a> But the "sensible liberals" such as <a href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/the-decline-of-the-democratic-coalition" target="_blank">Ruy Teixeira look at the Catalyst voting data</a> and are positively screaming warnings that the DemoKKKrats are going into shark-invested waters toting leaking bags of hemoglobin.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) According to the UK <i>Guardian</i>, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/may/20/ron-desantis-florida-governor-fall" target="_blank">Ron DeSantis is drifting</a>, in large part because of his ill-advised presidential run against Trump.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) "The Punisher," SecDef Pete Hegseth, says <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/china/pentagon-pivots-to-indo-pacific-to-address-china-threats-secretary-hegseth-says-5860720?utm_source=China&src_src=China&utm_campaign=uschina-2025-05-21&src_cmp=uschina-2025-05-21&utm_medium=email&est=4qwJX8R5m%2F4gsU9aF7FYrs9h036b3rYT1HGZG%2FnwpR%2BPoWCX%2Fyy7x86zcbrmLI9%2BE4tT%2FNBO" target="_blank">the Pentagon has pivoted from Russia to China</a> as the main adversary.

I love a President who just doesn't take crap from foreign leaders.

      <title>Today&apos;s News, May 17-19, 2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) The <a href="https://x.com/dogeai_gov/status/1924503437435101684" target="_blank">Supes just lifted the lower court's block</a> on temporary protected status for the Venezuelan gang bangers in an 8-1 decision. Jumpin' Jackson Brown the only holdout because she doesn't know where Venezuela is. DemoKKKrats deeply disappointed. Huge victory for Trump.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) More fallout from <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/05/16/biden-hur-tape-special-counsel-audio" target="_blank">release of the Biden-Hur tapes</a> as Fakey Jake Tapper continues his "I didn't know" book tour. The tapes beg the question---showing that Rutabaga absolutely had no mind or memory---of who was running America and why did anyone (Republicans included) let it happen? The <i>New York Slimes</i> claims <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/16/us/politics/democrats-biden-2024.html" target="_blank">those who championed Rutabaga "now seek atonement."</a> No they don't. They seek to lie and get away with it again. They all knew---we all knew---from 2020 on that Rutabaga was a swiss-cheese-brained analpickle who at his best was a barely aware fascist and at his worst was an Alzheimer's patient who was a fascist. Meanwhile,<a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/democratic-rep-khanna-biden-made-mistake-running/story?id=121913712" target="_blank"> Congressman Ro Khanna said Rutabaga had no business running in 2024</a>. Really Rolo? Did you say that at the time, oh profile in courage?</p><p><br /> </p><p>COMMENT: Over the weekend someone noted that "Republicans don't like being in the majority---that they love to raise money being in the minority". I think there is merit in that idea. Unless you are willing to use power ruthlessly to expand your power, well, the majority takes all the arrows. And Republicans have shown they <i><strong>still haven't recovered from the 1995 "government shutdown" where they were portrayed as Grinches.</strong></i> No one was better at pointing this out than the late great Rush Limbaugh. They prefer to oppose, then negotiate deals that personally benefit them for their eventual support. In the meantime, to show they are "nice guys," they play ball on confirming truly evil people such as Grand Moff Garland to appointed positions and rubber-stamping DemoKKKrat president judges. <i><strong>Nevertheless, I believe this is far more about psychological damage that they have not addressed</strong></i> rather than money. Some have broken free: Lee Zeldin at the EPA, Chris Wright at Energy, RFK, Jr. at HHS. Kristi Noem is a work in progress. But few in the Congress are mentally healthy yet. Certainly not the darlings of the libertarian movement, Chip Roy and St. Thomas of Louisville, who are pure opposers and never created or built any coalition to do anything.. Fixing this won't come from Trump's leadership. Only so much he can do. Fixing this requires new people of a Kari Lake mentality, who absolutely don't care about the media---especially the douchesouffles at the <i>Bullshit</i> or <i>National Rectum Online</i>. We need congressmen with the fangs of Zeldin, Kennedy, Wright, Tom Homan and others in the administration.

Simply put, the Supes punted back to the conservative Fifth Circuit to see if they were smart enough to figure a way out of this. You cannot deport masses and, at the same time, provide traditional immigration courts/judges for them. So, will courts admit there is a problem? But if they don't, what happens when there is a PROVEN real problem? As in war? Childers thinks that Trump is trying to make the case for suspension of Habeas corpus. But he'd have to convince a majority in both houses of Congress and find a filibuster-breaker in the Senate. Isn't going to happen. Or, he could do it and dare congress to impeach and remove him. Possible, but not likely. I do not see Trump, even with his success, being able to get a significant enough majority in 2026 to do this. Moreover, <i><strong>His very success</strong></i>is not working against him, making the issue less immediate. For all intents and purposes, the border IS CLOSED. (That doesn't help Trump!) With violent gangbangers gone, and cities "more" peaceful, only the economic argument remains and that's real---but harder to make for ordinary people. And, as Rasmussen polling shows, only 27% favor allowing Trump to just ignore the courts.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>15) The Trump Administration <a href="https://istandforfreedom.com/trump-administration-civil-investigation-nw/?utm_source=actengage&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">is preparing to lower the boom on Northwestern University</a> by cutting off all its grants for ongoing DEI.</p><p><br /> </p><p>16) Stephen Soukup write that <a href="https://amgreatness.com/2025/05/17/if-woke-is-dead-what-comes-next/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=70016" target="_blank">"woke is dead,"</a> but what comes after it---if history is a guide---will be worse.</p><p><br /> </p><p>17) Ryan Burge shows that as <a href="https://www.graphsaboutreligion.com/p/does-education-have-the-same-impact?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1561197&post_id=159204131&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">education levels increase, church attendance in the US increases, but decreases in Europe.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>18) A report says <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/qatar-dumped-billions-us-schools-over-last-four-decades-report" target="_blank">Qatar dumped billions into US schools</a> in the last decade.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) The <a href="https://x.com/dogeai_gov/status/1924503437435101684" target="_blank">Supes just lifted the lower court's block</a> on temporary protected status for the Venezuelan gang bangers in an 8-1 decision. Jumpin' Jackson Brown the only holdout because she doesn't know where Venezuela is. DemoKKKrats deeply disappointed. Huge victory for Trump.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) More fallout from <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/05/16/biden-hur-tape-special-counsel-audio" target="_blank">release of the Biden-Hur tapes</a> as Fakey Jake Tapper continues his "I didn't know" book tour. The tapes beg the question---showing that Rutabaga absolutely had no mind or memory---of who was running America and why did anyone (Republicans included) let it happen? The <i>New York Slimes</i> claims <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/16/us/politics/democrats-biden-2024.html" target="_blank">those who championed Rutabaga "now seek atonement."</a> No they don't. They seek to lie and get away with it again. They all knew---we all knew---from 2020 on that Rutabaga was a swiss-cheese-brained analpickle who at his best was a barely aware fascist and at his worst was an Alzheimer's patient who was a fascist. Meanwhile,<a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/democratic-rep-khanna-biden-made-mistake-running/story?id=121913712" target="_blank"> Congressman Ro Khanna said Rutabaga had no business running in 2024</a>. Really Rolo? Did you say that at the time, oh profile in courage?</p><p><br /> </p><p>COMMENT: Over the weekend someone noted that "Republicans don't like being in the majority---that they love to raise money being in the minority". I think there is merit in that idea. Unless you are willing to use power ruthlessly to expand your power, well, the majority takes all the arrows. And Republicans have shown they <i><strong>still haven't recovered from the 1995 "government shutdown" where they were portrayed as Grinches.</strong></i> No one was better at pointing this out than the late great Rush Limbaugh. They prefer to oppose, then negotiate deals that personally benefit them for their eventual support. In the meantime, to show they are "nice guys," they play ball on confirming truly evil people such as Grand Moff Garland to appointed positions and rubber-stamping DemoKKKrat president judges. <i><strong>Nevertheless, I believe this is far more about psychological damage that they have not addressed</strong></i> rather than money. Some have broken free: Lee Zeldin at the EPA, Chris Wright at Energy, RFK, Jr. at HHS. Kristi Noem is a work in progress. But few in the Congress are mentally healthy yet. Certainly not the darlings of the libertarian movement, Chip Roy and St. Thomas of Louisville, who are pure opposers and never created or built any coalition to do anything.. Fixing this won't come from Trump's leadership. Only so much he can do. Fixing this requires new people of a Kari Lake mentality, who absolutely don't care about the media---especially the douchesouffles at the <i>Bullshit</i> or <i>National Rectum Online</i>. We need congressmen with the fangs of Zeldin, Kennedy, Wright, Tom Homan and others in the administration. And that will not be a short process.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) The House's version of Trump's "big, beautiful bill" <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trumps-big-beautiful-bill-passes-key-house-hurdle-after-gop-rebel-mutiny" target="_blank">has passed a key House obstacle</a> after suffering a temporary defeat last week. On dropping Social Security taxes, House Rs say that the Senate has told them it's a non starter. Put it in anyway and make THEM take it out.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Biden officials<a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/05/15/trump-israel-syria-policy-reverse-biden" target="_blank"> admitted to being "awed" by Trump's incredible Middle East moves.</a> "I wish I could work for an administration that moved that quickly," said one. But here's the reality: Trump has about three years to so solidify and establish peace and prosperity---so that any new administration can't undo it for decades---that he has to move fast.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Every once in a while the <a href="https://www.wsj.com/opinion/house-republicans-budget-tax-bill-salt-medicaid-chip-roy-mike-lawler-b57dfc4c?st=rzyoa2" target="_blank"><i>Wall Street Journal </i></a>gets something right: What's the point of having a majority if you don't do anything with it? I have written at length about the utter suicide of the House (of course, not just under Republicans). The simple fact is that nature abhors a vaccum, and if the House won't act, a president will.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) The<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/patel-says-fbi-is-moving-out-of-washington-headquarters-5858973?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-05-17&src_cmp=mb-2025-05-17&utm_medium=email&est=XBdCd26Q%2BCT8aKy7%2FI2kH0IRJgI1QeKP%2B%2FdZDErsTpXZskX2YYA3a4PzS2PZXppBfdNcBOk%3D" target="_blank"> FBI is moving out of its Washington HQ</a> and 1,500 employees will be distributed across the U.S.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Nine inmates in New Orleans <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/manhunt-underway-for-10-inmates-after-mass-escape-from-new-orleans-jail-5859108?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-05-17&src_cmp=mb-2025-05-17&utm_medium=email&est=5JlIzsMpJvjaYxkTUHH5W13WBsqFezgi0dTFPy7oK4F5v26j6ZGa8Qc0yV56R%2FLjoMjMP20%3D" target="_blank">escaped from a jail</a> in a hole behind the toilet. Shades of Shawshank. Meanwhile, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/mexican-navy-ship-crashes-into-new-york-citys-brooklyn-bridge-injuries-reported-5859537?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-05-18&src_cmp=mb-2025-05-18&utm_medium=email&est=pijLRy4CE2dT3DcEqI2Ko8xEbd6fj%2FNFf3DW6qhChjruZwzzkTVjXAy0OUMHyu8evDYYXzQ%3D" target="_blank">a large sailing ship flying the Mexican flag </a>crashed into the Brooklyn Bridge.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) A new <a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/just-in-top-pollster-reveals-quiet-red-shift-in-longtime-blue-state-micca/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank">Emerson poll continues to make hash out of all those "Trump is underwater" pollsters, as he is at 47% approval in New Jersey</a>---which he lost by 6! In fact, he is polling 6 points better than the DemoKKKrat governor, Phil Murphy. Meanwhile, the<a href="https://x.com/Five_Starrr/status/1923733963249680761" target="_blank"> NC GOP net gained yet another 788 Rs.</a> And</p><p>more good trend lines for the GOP as<a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1924444889397277065" target="_blank"> Miami-Dade, FL, one of that last big D holdouts there, flipped red with a GOP +38,000 gain</a> in voter roll purges. Weird, huh, when you clean the voter rolls REPUBLICANS always gain? Why is that? Meanwhile, the one bright spot for DemoKKKrats, PA, where they have gained four weeks in a row, <a href="https://x.com/Five_Starrr/status/1924482237254529130" target="_blank">has steadily slipped (last week only +500)</a> so it looks like the impact of the DemoKKKrat primary there is wearing off.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) Good news out of OH as AG Dave Yost, not a bad guy but not a MAGA warrior, dropped out of the governor's race<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/ohio-attorney-general-dave-yost-ends-gubernatorial-bid-after-state-gop-endorses-vivek-ramaswamy-5859344?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank"> leaving Vivek Ramaswamy as the likely </a>nominee. Vivek will wtill probably have to contend with former OSU football coach Jim Tressel.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) A lunatic <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/05/17/update-alleged-identity-fertility-clinic-bomber-revealed-fbi/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">bombed a fertility clinic in Palm Springs, killing one</a>, saying he never consented to being born.</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) Joe Biden has been diagnosed with <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/biden-diagnosed-with-aggressive-type-of-prostate-cancer-5859683?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-05-18-4&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-05-18-4&utm_medium=email&est=XWCMwPigPqaoQlu5l5JiKtBuEGBknaJHzVzZr2oMFnEdZY5Rh%2BvNcrc7xHv2%2BgUHdbtRwkc%3D" target="_blank">advanced prostate cancer.</a> When it was announced, I really wasn't even going to mention it. This demonic plague-carrier deserves no attention. But increasingly the uproar is "did he have cancer during his presidency?" OF COURSE. You don't get this level of advanced cancer overnight. Even leftist doctor <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1924448526886429127" target="_blank">Ezekiel Emmanuel says he had cancer as presiden</a>t. David ("Axehandle") Alexrod says that criticisms of Rutabaga's presidency should be more "muted." Nope many of us think his presidency was the cancer. And even lefoids like <a href="https://x.com/ChrisCillizza/status/1924271095495987691" target="_blank">Chris "The Schlizz" Cilizza </a>say we need to look at "what happened" In 2024. You butt-percolators got your rectal enhancements kicked, that's what. But wait! It looks like, thanks to investigative work by Jeff Childers, that Rutabaga<a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/oil-spill-monday-may-19-2025-c-and?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=163917885&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> <i><strong>himself said he had cancer in 2022, and not "skin cancer," but cancer (he said) from an "oil slick"</strong></i></a> But here is Jeff's key takeaway: "They didn’t <i>only</i> lie about Biden’s poor memory and inability to make decisions more complicated than what flavor of ice cream he wanted. They also lied about a terminal medical condition that —at best— <i>guaranteed</i> he couldn’t do the job. They lied about who would <i>really</i> be president."</p><p><br /> </p><p>12) <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/fbi-agents-beg-court-destroy-list-shame-campaign?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=4761" target="_blank">FBI agents involved in tyrannical J6 Patriot Day crackdowns</a> are begging for their names not to be released so we don't "name and shame" them.

They punted again, though again, it appears they don't know how to make this work so they stay within the constitution and get rid of these people and yet "follow their heart" to let them stay. I'm beginning to think we're gonna get a Dred Scott or an Obamacare decision. <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/duly-processed-saturday-may-17-2025?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=163766601&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Jeff Childers, the lawyer in "Coffee & Covid,"</a> has a great analysis of this at the bottom of his column. Simply put, the Supes punted back to the conservative Fifth Circuit to see if they were smart enough to figure a way out of this. You cannot deport masses and, at the same time, provide traditional immigration courts/judges for them. So, will courts admit there is a problem? But if they don't, what happens when there is a PROVEN real problem? As in war? Childers thinks that Trump is trying to make the case for suspension of Habeas corpus. But he'd have to convince a majority in both houses of Congress and find a filibuster-breaker in the Senate. Isn't going to happen. Or, he could do it and dare congress to impeach and remove him. Possible, but not likely. I do not see Trump, even with his success, being able to get a significant enough majority in 2026 to do this. Moreover, <i><strong>His very success</strong></i>is not working against him, making the issue less immediate. For all intents and purposes, the border IS CLOSED. (That doesn't help Trump!) With violent gangbangers gone, and cities "more" peaceful, only the economic argument remains and that's real---but harder to make for ordinary people. And, as Rasmussen polling shows, only 27% favor allowing Trump to just ignore the courts.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>15) The Trump Administration <a href="https://istandforfreedom.com/trump-administration-civil-investigation-nw/?utm_source=actengage&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">is preparing to lower the boom on Northwestern University</a> by cutting off all its grants for ongoing DEI.</p><p><br /> </p><p>16) Stephen Soukup write that <a href="https://amgreatness.com/2025/05/17/if-woke-is-dead-what-comes-next/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=70016" target="_blank">"woke is dead,"</a> but what comes after it---if history is a guide---will be worse.</p><p><br /> </p><p>17) Ryan Burge shows that as <a href="https://www.graphsaboutreligion.com/p/does-education-have-the-same-impact?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1561197&post_id=159204131&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">education levels increase, church attendance in the US increases, but decreases in Europe.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>18) A report says <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/qatar-dumped-billions-us-schools-over-last-four-decades-report" target="_blank">Qatar dumped billions into US schools</a> in the last decade.

      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Thank you President Trump for ending the invasion by the illegals: <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/us-drug-overdose-deaths-fall-nearly-27-percent-to-lowest-level-in-5-years-5857747?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-05-15&src_cmp=mb-2025-05-15&utm_medium=email&est=POF4NskjuIuWJd1efyACOqcfrNKHPkJhah4L1azba6QU03DGibvvL47GnmzYYYkd3UKkshU%3D" target="_blank">drug overdose deaths are down to the levels before the pandemic.</a> One of the many reasons <a href="https://x.com/PpollingNumbers/status/1923397731311075662" target="_blank">his approval is up to 52% again.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) I keep sayin' it and sayin' it. Ain't I been sayin' it for ten years? <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/05/15/chris-cillizza-data-dems-problematic/" target="_blank">The DemoKKKrats are incredibly pessimistic about their own party</a>. And they should be. They cannot win any of the three (now, maybe four) Civil Wars. Here's an example, with <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/05/15/states-largest-city-raise-palestinian-flag/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">Providence, R.I. hoisting the Pale flag of the Hamas Murder Pirates.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>3) A <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/former-national-guardsman-arrested-in-foiled-isis-linked-attack-at-michigan-base-5857663?utm_source=Goodevening&src_src=Goodevening&utm_campaign=gv-2025-05-14&src_cmp=gv-2025-05-14&utm_medium=email&est=dWp15Y3V6cEVqtrcLiT0yVF2HS0ZiNclFFgNlXInZRTBp20C3SpMUHVU1vsmghCAoL5TT3K%2B" target="_blank">former national guardsman was arrested in a foiled ISIS attack on a Michigan military base.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>4) After arranging, Bill Clinton-style, rocks on a beach that said "86 47," i.e., "kill" President Trump, the evil and treacherous James (Scrotumtoter) Comey now says <a href="https://x.com/DC_Draino/status/1923149382242697414/photo/1" target="_blank">he didn't know what it meant.</a> He needs to be in lockup with the Aryan Nation bros. Lawyer Jeff Childers notes that cases on this are mushy, but that Scrotumtoter is <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/witless-nitwits-friday-may-16-2025?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=163709446&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">"about to enjoy a government-mandated proctological expedition."</a> DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said what Pam Bondi should have said, that he belongs behind bars. This is very serious for Scrotumtoter, because if there is a search warrant and the Fibbies find, say, kiddie porn or other threats against Trump, Scrotumtoter will be, well, toting someone else's scrotum at Rikers.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) <a href="https://x.com/LeadingReport/status/1923391186196144244" target="_blank">As Seth Keshel re-posts</a>, the DemoKKKrats would have been so much better to not steal 2020. Trump was much weaker, still saddled with backstabbing insiders like Pence, not yet refined by the fire of lawfare and the stolen election. But you have to understand this: they kain't hep demselves. Their TDS is so massive that it distorts every aspect of their life.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) President Trump's<a href="https://nationalinterest.org/feature/the-five-keys-of-donald-trumps-grand-strategy" target="_blank"> geopolitical strategy</a> appears to be focused on controlling five key chokepoints of water.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) <a href="https://x.com/CortesSteve/status/1923088423579013565" target="_blank">Zero's Presidential Library makes Nazi architecture look human</a>.

      <itunes:summary>IN POLITICAL NEWS 

1) Thank you President Trump for ending the invasion by the illegals: drug overdose deaths are down to the levels before the pandemic. One of the many reasons his approval is up to 52% again.


2) I keep sayin&apos; it and sayin&apos; it. Ain&apos;t I been sayin&apos; it for ten years? The DemoKKKrats are incredibly pessimistic about their own party. And they should be. They cannot win any of the three (now, maybe four) Civil Wars. Here&apos;s an example, with Providence, R.I. hoisting the Pale flag of the Hamas Murder Pirates.


3) A former national guardsman was arrested in a foiled ISIS attack on a Michigan military base.


4) After arranging, Bill Clinton-style, rocks on a beach that said &quot;86 47,&quot; i.e., &quot;kill&quot; President Trump, the evil and treacherous James (Scrotumtoter) Comey now says he didn&apos;t know what it meant. He needs to be in lockup with the Aryan Nation bros. Lawyer Jeff Childers notes that cases on this are mushy, but that Scrotumtoter is &quot;about to enjoy a government-mandated proctological expedition.&quot; DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said what Pam Bondi should have said, that he belongs behind bars. This is very serious for Scrotumtoter, because if there is a search warrant and the Fibbies find, say, kiddie porn or other threats against Trump, Scrotumtoter will be, well, toting someone else&apos;s scrotum at Rikers.


5) As Seth Keshel re-posts, the DemoKKKrats would have been so much better to not steal 2020. Trump was much weaker, still saddled with backstabbing insiders like Pence, not yet refined by the fire of lawfare and the stolen election. But you have to understand this: they kain&apos;t hep demselves. Their TDS is so massive that it distorts every aspect of their life.


6) President Trump&apos;s geopolitical strategy appears to be focused on controlling five key chokepoints of water.


7) Zero&apos;s Presidential Library makes Nazi architecture look human. I wonder if there is a basketball court?


8) About time. The FBI has removed the entire FBI J6 (Patriot Day) &quot;pipe bomber&quot; team from the case. 


9) Judge Jeanine Piro was sworn in and already announced her first sentences as D.C. prosecutor. Too bad they aren&apos;t senators.


10) The U.S. Navy has 300 ships. And 300 admirals..


11) Florida becomes the second state to ban fluoride 


IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS

12) Drug overdose deaths have fallen to the lowest level in five years, much of that due to President Trump&apos;s sealing of the southern border.


13) Minnesotans will face $200 million in property tax hikes to make up for paying health care to illegal criminals.


14) This is utterly absurd. Kristi Noem, who has been pretty good, supposedly is considering a reality show where people compete for fast track citizenship. What, &quot;Running Mexican?&quot;


15) Homicides in Denver are down 60% following ICE deportations.


16) Wow. 63% of Americans support mass deportations.


IN CULTURAL NEWS 

17) Despite sanctions, Harvard continues to feed its anti-white discrimination machine.


IN TRANSOID NEWS 

18) A transoid boy won three girls&apos; racing events in Illinois. Look at the difference. Gross and evil.


IN ECONOMIC NEWS

19) Inflation fell again, &quot;more than expected.&quot; And I ask the same question I always ask: who are these morons doing the &quot;expecting and why are they always wrong?&quot;


20) Tractor maker John Deere announced higher earnings and reaffirmed a focus on U.S. manufacturing.


21) From Axios no less: &quot;Hard data&quot; suggests inflation fears and recession predictions are &quot;overblown.&quot; Gee, wonder who else said that?


22) Jobless benefits hold firm, layoffs remain low.


23) United Health is now under criminal investigation.


 IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS 

24) With Trump touring the Gulf and getting incredible support, Iran has begun to offer concessions with its nuke program. His deals in Qatar alone amounted to $243 billion.


25) The United Arab Emirates bestowed its highest civilian honor on President Trump.


26) The reverberations of Trump&apos;s &quot;most important speech ever&quot; in the Middle East continue be heard.


27) Trump told Apple not to build in India. Make it American made, ya losers.


28) &quot;Rogue&quot; devices  have been found in ChiCom supplied solar panels that could disable the grid. Shocked, I tell ya. Why would the nice little ChiComs do that?


29) President Trump has given Iran a nuke deal proposal and said they need to move quickly or &quot;something bad&quot; is going to happen.


IN CHINA VIRUS NEWS 

30) Good. RFK&apos;s Health and Human Services is ending the recommendation to vaccinate kiddos with the China Virus vax. Crosby, Stills &amp; Nash would be singing &quot;Long time comin&apos;, gonna be a long time gone.&quot;






AND FINALLY . . .

31) This makes you wanna fly, right? A plane flew for 10 minutes with no pilot as the first officer passed out when the captain was in the toilet. For TEN. MINUTES? What did he eat before takeoff, Big Botha&apos;s Curry Delight?</itunes:summary>

4) After arranging, Bill Clinton-style, rocks on a beach that said &quot;86 47,&quot; i.e., &quot;kill&quot; President Trump, the evil and treacherous James (Scrotumtoter) Comey now says he didn&apos;t know what it meant. He needs to be in lockup with the Aryan Nation bros. Lawyer Jeff Childers notes that cases on this are mushy, but that Scrotumtoter is &quot;about to enjoy a government-mandated proctological expedition.&quot; DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said what Pam Bondi should have said, that he belongs behind bars. This is very serious for Scrotumtoter, because if there is a search warrant and the Fibbies find, say, kiddie porn or other threats against Trump, Scrotumtoter will be, well, toting someone else&apos;s scrotum at Rikers.


5) As Seth Keshel re-posts, the DemoKKKrats would have been so much better to not steal 2020. Trump was much weaker, still saddled with backstabbing insiders like Pence, not yet refined by the fire of lawfare and the stolen election. But you have to understand this: they kain&apos;t hep demselves. Their TDS is so massive that it distorts every aspect of their life.


6) President Trump&apos;s geopolitical strategy appears to be focused on controlling five key chokepoints of water.


7) Zero&apos;s Presidential Library makes Nazi architecture look human. I wonder if there is a basketball court?


8) About time. The FBI has removed the entire FBI J6 (Patriot Day) &quot;pipe bomber&quot; team from the case. 


9) Judge Jeanine Piro was sworn in and already announced her first sentences as D.C. prosecutor. Too bad they aren&apos;t senators.


10) The U.S. Navy has 300 ships. And 300 admirals..


11) Florida becomes the second state to ban fluoride 


IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS

12) Drug overdose deaths have fallen to the lowest level in five years, much of that due to President Trump&apos;s sealing of the southern border.


13) Minnesotans will face $200 million in property tax hikes to make up for paying health care to illegal criminals.


14) This is utterly absurd. Kristi Noem, who has been pretty good, supposedly is considering a reality show where people compete for fast track citizenship. What, &quot;Running Mexican?&quot;


15) Homicides in Denver are down 60% following ICE deportations.


16) Wow. 63% of Americans support mass deportations.


IN CULTURAL NEWS 

17) Despite sanctions, Harvard continues to feed its anti-white discrimination machine.


IN TRANSOID NEWS 

18) A transoid boy won three girls&apos; racing events in Illinois. Look at the difference. Gross and evil.


IN ECONOMIC NEWS

19) Inflation fell again, &quot;more than expected.&quot; And I ask the same question I always ask: who are these morons doing the &quot;expecting and why are they always wrong?&quot;


20) Tractor maker John Deere announced higher earnings and reaffirmed a focus on U.S. manufacturing.


21) From Axios no less: &quot;Hard data&quot; suggests inflation fears and recession predictions are &quot;overblown.&quot; Gee, wonder who else said that?


22) Jobless benefits hold firm, layoffs remain low.


23) United Health is now under criminal investigation.


 IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS 

24) With Trump touring the Gulf and getting incredible support, Iran has begun to offer concessions with its nuke program. His deals in Qatar alone amounted to $243 billion.


25) The United Arab Emirates bestowed its highest civilian honor on President Trump.


26) The reverberations of Trump&apos;s &quot;most important speech ever&quot; in the Middle East continue be heard.


27) Trump told Apple not to build in India. Make it American made, ya losers.


28) &quot;Rogue&quot; devices  have been found in ChiCom supplied solar panels that could disable the grid. Shocked, I tell ya. Why would the nice little ChiComs do that?


29) President Trump has given Iran a nuke deal proposal and said they need to move quickly or &quot;something bad&quot; is going to happen.


IN CHINA VIRUS NEWS 

30) Good. RFK&apos;s Health and Human Services is ending the recommendation to vaccinate kiddos with the China Virus vax. Crosby, Stills &amp; Nash would be singing &quot;Long time comin&apos;, gonna be a long time gone.&quot;






AND FINALLY . . .

31) This makes you wanna fly, right? A plane flew for 10 minutes with no pilot as the first officer passed out when the captain was in the toilet. For TEN. MINUTES? What did he eat before takeoff, Big Botha&apos;s Curry Delight?</itunes:subtitle>

      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) The Saudis <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/05/13/us-news/trump-arrives-in-saudi-arabia-after-air-force-one-receives-fighter-jet-escort/" target="_blank">gave President Trump a fighter jet escort all the way into the country. </a>He made <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/watch-trumps-lavish-welcome-saudi-arabia-mbs-breaks-protocol-greets-him-plane?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=4729" target="_blank">a speech for the ages,</a> reminiscent of his first inaugural, saying that intervention and global chowdernuggets had not done anything for the region, but that Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and others had built all the stuff themselves. Trump tore into nation-builders and do-gooders. It was a complete reset of WORLD policy, not just Middle East policy. And no fist bumps---which was a sign of disrespect to Rutabaga. In the meantime, Trump<a href="https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/trump-meets-new-syrian-leader-after-announcing-end-of-sanctions-96146296?mod=hp_lead_pos2" target="_blank"> lifted sanctions on Syria.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Goooooood. James Carville, like the guys at "Liberal Patriot," still don't get it. <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/05/13/media/james-carville-warns-democrats-against-using-alienating-leftist-words/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=nypost" target="_blank">Serpenthead thinks DemoKKKrats have to change the way they talk</a>---NOT WHAT THEY TALK ABOUT---and Liberal Patriot is back on the "better manage cities" solution for DemoKKKrats. Meanwhile, the war is on over whether to blame Rutabaga or Cackles for Trump kicking their asses in 2024. Jake (Fakey) Tapper wants to pretend that the reality of Rutabaga's dementia was hidden from him. <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/joe-biden/can-democrats-blame-problems-biden-rcna206307" target="_blank">Others say trying to blame the Demented Pervert is a cop out</a>. Blame Cackles instead. Never their idiotic and demonic policies, though!

That's why you guys can't get elected. Pollster Mark Pen said the DemoKKkrats are a <a href="https://americafirstreport.com/a-defeated-party-in-the-wilderness-former-clinton-pollster-predicts-whats-next-for-democrats/" target="_blank">"defeated party in the wilderness." </a>Well, let's hope it's the Kalahari, and there's no water.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) The Saudis <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/05/13/us-news/trump-arrives-in-saudi-arabia-after-air-force-one-receives-fighter-jet-escort/" target="_blank">gave President Trump a fighter jet escort all the way into the country. </a>He made <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/watch-trumps-lavish-welcome-saudi-arabia-mbs-breaks-protocol-greets-him-plane?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=4729" target="_blank">a speech for the ages,</a> reminiscent of his first inaugural, saying that intervention and global chowdernuggets had not done anything for the region, but that Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and others had built all the stuff themselves. Trump tore into nation-builders and do-gooders. It was a complete reset of WORLD policy, not just Middle East policy. And no fist bumps---which was a sign of disrespect to Rutabaga. In the meantime, Trump<a href="https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/trump-meets-new-syrian-leader-after-announcing-end-of-sanctions-96146296?mod=hp_lead_pos2" target="_blank"> lifted sanctions on Syria.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Goooooood. James Carville, like the guys at "Liberal Patriot," still don't get it. <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/05/13/media/james-carville-warns-democrats-against-using-alienating-leftist-words/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=nypost" target="_blank">Serpenthead thinks DemoKKKrats have to change the way they talk</a>---NOT WHAT THEY TALK ABOUT---and Liberal Patriot is back on the "better manage cities" solution for DemoKKKrats. Meanwhile, the war is on over whether to blame Rutabaga or Cackles for Trump kicking their asses in 2024. Jake (Fakey) Tapper wants to pretend that the reality of Rutabaga's dementia was hidden from him. <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/joe-biden/can-democrats-blame-problems-biden-rcna206307" target="_blank">Others say trying to blame the Demented Pervert is a cop out</a>. Blame Cackles instead. Never their idiotic and demonic policies, though! And this DemoKKKrat whines that <a href="https://dailycallernewsfoundation.org/2025/05/13/nobody-fears-us-former-dem-strategist-bemoans-lack-of-strong-leader-like-donald-trump-in-his-party/" target="_blank">"nobody fears us." </a>Actually, there chuddlebucket, EVERYBODY fears you. That's why you guys can't get elected. Pollster Mark Pen said the DemoKKkrats are a <a href="https://americafirstreport.com/a-defeated-party-in-the-wilderness-former-clinton-pollster-predicts-whats-next-for-democrats/" target="_blank">"defeated party in the wilderness." </a>Well, let's hope it's the Kalahari, and there's no water. And quietly the <a href="https://x.com/allymutnick/status/1922655316845425122" target="_blank">House stomped on the Trump impeachment push.</a> Karens hardest hit.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) The glacially-moving <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/house-ways-and-means-committee-advances-sweeping-gop-tax-bill-5857196?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">House Ways & Means committee advanced the (mostly) Trump "big beautiful tax bill."</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Speaking of brain dead, do you remember when Fetterman Massacre, the Human Ox really WAS "brain dead" after his stroke---but the DemoKKKrats said he was sharp as a tack. Just fine. Til now . . . <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/mark-halperin-says-fettermans-behavior-behind-scenes-warrants-major-concerns" target="_blank">now they are putting out stories through Mark Halperin that he is not mentally fit.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Good. <a href="https://istandforfreedom.com/deep-state-cleanup-crew/?utm_source=actengage&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Tulsi Gabbard fired Mike Collins</a>, Trump hater.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) President Trump is at <a href="https://x.com/PpollingNumbers/status/1921683652800393491?t=-tutU6f5NAXdDW2swqeRUg&s=03" target="_blank">52% approval in NV.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Lawyer <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/myob-wednesday-may-14-2025-c-and?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=163549073&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Jeff Childers argues that the indictment of the WI illegal-harboring judge is a big deal:</a> 1) DOJ didn't back down; 2) The case was not for personal embezzlement or corruption but for the more public crime of harboring an illegal criminal alien.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) No wonder DemoKKKrats are freaking out about Trump's pharma order. <a href="https://x.com/BehizyTweets/status/1921963806760002018" target="_blank">Look at how much they are getting from Big Pharma.</a></p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_2bad64561f72473c940c8bdceb8444f7~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_1480,h_694,al_c,q_90,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_2bad64561f72473c940c8bdceb8444f7~mv2.png" alt="" /><p><br /> </p><p>9) The Poofter, David Plouffe, Zero's advisor,<a href="https://nypost.com/2025/05/13/us-news/biden-totally-f-ked-kamala-harris-2024-election-chances-by-refusing-to-drop-out-sooner-top-adviser/?utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=nypost&utm_source=twitter" target="_blank"> continues to blame Rutabaga for not dropping out </a>sooner. Nope. Cackles had no chance. Neither did Rutabaga. But this is like Custer going, "Dang. If I'd only had 10 more men . . ." Speaking of Custer, <a href="https://x.com/LeadingReport/status/1922298396804559062" target="_blank">Lil' Hitler (David Hogg) has lost his spot at the DNC because a panel "decided" his victory violated gender diversity rules</a>.

      <title>Today&apos;s News, May 12, 2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) In a titanic announcement, <a href="https://x.com/WhiteHouse/status/1921695676032856313/photo/1" target="_blank">President Trump has given "most favored nation" status to . . . the USA </a>when it comes to drugs! This immediately offsets the massive differences in prices between the same drugs in Europe and the US and promises to lower costs immediately. If prices go up in Europe, well, . . . Trump has called this the most <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-teases-most-consequential-executive-order-in-our-countrys-history?utm_medium=email&utm_source=cnemail&seyid=68954" target="_blank">"consequential executive order in history." And he'd be right.</a> By the way, this would require the federal gubment to pay the same prices under "most favored nation," causing all Medicare and Medicaid prices to fall. It was absolutely brilliant, and the Hoax News Media is screaming about Pfizer's stock price. Pfizer may not like it, but the rest of the market soared 1,000, with the Dow now back to over 42,000. It will be 46,000 by Christmas---at least.

This immediately offsets the massive differences in prices between the same drugs in Europe and the US and promises to lower costs immediately. If prices go up in Europe, well, . . . Trump has called this the most <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-teases-most-consequential-executive-order-in-our-countrys-history?utm_medium=email&utm_source=cnemail&seyid=68954" target="_blank">"consequential executive order in history." And he'd be right.</a> By the way, this would require the federal gubment to pay the same prices under "most favored nation," causing all Medicare and Medicaid prices to fall. It was absolutely brilliant, and the Hoax News Media is screaming about Pfizer's stock price. Pfizer may not like it, but the rest of the market soared 1,000, with the Dow now back to over 42,000. It will be 46,000 by Christmas---at least. By the way, <a href="https://x.com/Aristos_Revenge/status/1921727045433782497" target="_blank">"Aristophanes" on X</a> suggest that in part this is Trump getting back on Big Pharma over screwing up the China Virus vax and damaging him with what he wanted to be a signature issue, and now one he has had to drop.

      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) President Trump announced the first of numerous big tariff deals with Mediocre Britain, and that<a href="https://x.com/zerohedge/status/1920459175953301784" target="_blank"> the 10% tariff would remain</a>. The world better get used to this. A 10% tariff is the baseline, the vig, for doing business with the U.S. It will soon be <i>our income</i> once the income tax is replaced. As <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/deferred-armageddon-thursday-may?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=163130689&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Jeff Childers</a> points out in his "Coffee and Covid," the unscrupulous <a href="https://www.wsj.com/opinion/have-we-dodged-the-tariff-disaster-trade-war-deglobalization-economy-18b21c63?mod=hp_opin_pos_4&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email#cxrecs_s" target="_blank"><i>Wall Street Journal</i> may be starting a pivot on the tariff.</a> Meanwhile this has allowed Trump<a href="https://amgreatness.com/2025/05/10/big-government-is-chaos-trumps-2026-budget-is-a-step-toward-sanity/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=68666" target="_blank"> to cut all non-defense spending in his new budget</a>: "a step forward" says former conservative congressman Thaddeus McCotter.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Senator<a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1920470089104544005" target="_blank"> John Fetterman apparently cut loose on a rant</a>---"Why does everybody hate me? What did I ever do?"---in a meeting with the teacher's union. Fetterman Massacre, listen to me bro. You ARE NOT WELCOME in the DemoKKKrat Party if you have ANY of these positions: You support Israel, you support human life, and you actually like America. <a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/swing-state-democrat-senator-gets-demoralizing-re-election-news-cmc/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank">He has gotten bad polling news in his attempt to hold his seat</a>. We'll see. I think he's ok.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Two big announcements from Pam Bondi on Wednesday afternoon. First, the FBI has arrested <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/5287625-fbi-arrests-205-suspected-child-predators/" target="_blank">200 child predators.</a>, which, it is clear, is just the start. Second, she laid to rest notions advanced by Congressman James Comer that the Epstein evidence was destroyed. Quite the contrary she said, they have so much of it it's taking an enormous amount of time to go through. As I suspected and have argued, the FBI has <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/pam-bondi-epstein-files-missing-release-delay-b2746530.html" target="_blank">"tens of thousands of videos" i</a>n which they need to scour to remove and redact any images of kids or minors. Jeff Childers notes that if foreign pols are on the tapes, revealing their names now in the midst of tariff negotiations would result in a wave of demands for immunity tied to the economic plan. Or, as he calls it, a <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/deferred-armageddon-thursday-may?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=163130689&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">"hopelessly complicated plate of competing incentive spaghetti."</a> Meanwhile the Trump administration<a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/05/08/trump-administration-releases-more-than-60000-pages-robert/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank"> released 60,000 pages of Robert F.

But her APPOINTMENT is interim, meaning the Senate can't do anything about it, and it bypasses Uncle Thom Tillis. It also sent a clear signalt when Martin was then named special prosecutor to investigate prosecutors, and, perhaps, Uncle Thom himself. Trump characteristically did NOT name a "moderate" to take over for Martin. Meanwhile, the<a href="https://amgreatness.com/2025/05/09/morning-greatness-justice-department-launches-criminal-investigation-into-new-york-ag-letitia-james/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=68466" target="_blank"> DOJ has launched a criminal investigation of NY AG Letitia James.</a> Hey, you know that dranged leftist who spit on Ed Martin?

But that's ok. Slow, yes. But I wouldn't say it dragged. Malek plays a CIA desk-jockey analyst whose wife was killed in a botched hostage situation and when his superiors (for geopolitical reasons) don't immediately go after the baddies, he blakmails them into providing him a little basic training under Fishburne to go after them himself. As in many of these movies, he never eats, pees, or poops, effortlessly goes from London to Paris to Istanbul to someplace in the Baltic; builds explosive devices in his hotel rooms, the materials of which he always has in his backpack; and kills some of the baddies while exposing the CIA execs. Anyone who has ever worked with anything electrical or mechanical KNOWs that you get to the "Lowes" moment where you go, "Damn, I need a 5/8s" nut or this won't work. But not in the movies. This is a mildly entertaining movie that was way short on development of Malik's grieving husband (nothing, for example like the John Wick series were the dog became the substitute image of his wife, and thus he was genuinely grieved by the killing of the dog. Don't see it in a theater. OK on streaming, where you can take a pizza break.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) President Trump announced the first of numerous big tariff deals with Mediocre Britain, and that<a href="https://x.com/zerohedge/status/1920459175953301784" target="_blank"> the 10% tariff would remain</a>. The world better get used to this. A 10% tariff is the baseline, the vig, for doing business with the U.S. It will soon be <i>our income</i> once the income tax is replaced. As <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/deferred-armageddon-thursday-may?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=163130689&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Jeff Childers</a> points out in his "Coffee and Covid," the unscrupulous <a href="https://www.wsj.com/opinion/have-we-dodged-the-tariff-disaster-trade-war-deglobalization-economy-18b21c63?mod=hp_opin_pos_4&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email#cxrecs_s" target="_blank"><i>Wall Street Journal</i> may be starting a pivot on the tariff.</a> Meanwhile this has allowed Trump<a href="https://amgreatness.com/2025/05/10/big-government-is-chaos-trumps-2026-budget-is-a-step-toward-sanity/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=68666" target="_blank"> to cut all non-defense spending in his new budget</a>: "a step forward" says former conservative congressman Thaddeus McCotter.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Senator<a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1920470089104544005" target="_blank"> John Fetterman apparently cut loose on a rant</a>---"Why does everybody hate me? What did I ever do?"---in a meeting with the teacher's union. Fetterman Massacre, listen to me bro. You ARE NOT WELCOME in the DemoKKKrat Party if you have ANY of these positions: You support Israel, you support human life, and you actually like America. <a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/swing-state-democrat-senator-gets-demoralizing-re-election-news-cmc/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank">He has gotten bad polling news in his attempt to hold his seat</a>. We'll see. I think he's ok.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Two big announcements from Pam Bondi on Wednesday afternoon. First, the FBI has arrested <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/5287625-fbi-arrests-205-suspected-child-predators/" target="_blank">200 child predators.</a>, which, it is clear, is just the start. Second, she laid to rest notions advanced by Congressman James Comer that the Epstein evidence was destroyed. Quite the contrary she said, they have so much of it it's taking an enormous amount of time to go through. As I suspected and have argued, the FBI has <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/pam-bondi-epstein-files-missing-release-delay-b2746530.html" target="_blank">"tens of thousands of videos" i</a>n which they need to scour to remove and redact any images of kids or minors. Jeff Childers notes that if foreign pols are on the tapes, revealing their names now in the midst of tariff negotiations would result in a wave of demands for immunity tied to the economic plan. Or, as he calls it, a <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/deferred-armageddon-thursday-may?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=163130689&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">"hopelessly complicated plate of competing incentive spaghetti."</a> Meanwhile the Trump administration<a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/05/08/trump-administration-releases-more-than-60000-pages-robert/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank"> released 60,000 pages of Robert F.

But her APPOINTMENT is interim, meaning the Senate can't do anything about it, and it bypasses Uncle Thom Tillis. It also sent a clear signalt when Martin was then named special prosecutor to investigate prosecutors, and, perhaps, Uncle Thom himself. Trump characteristically did NOT name a "moderate" to take over for Martin. Meanwhile, the<a href="https://amgreatness.com/2025/05/09/morning-greatness-justice-department-launches-criminal-investigation-into-new-york-ag-letitia-james/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=68466" target="_blank"> DOJ has launched a criminal investigation of NY AG Letitia James.</a> Hey, you know that dranged leftist who spit on Ed Martin?

But that's ok. Slow, yes. But I wouldn't say it dragged. Malek plays a CIA desk-jockey analyst whose wife was killed in a botched hostage situation and when his superiors (for geopolitical reasons) don't immediately go after the baddies, he blakmails them into providing him a little basic training under Fishburne to go after them himself. As in many of these movies, he never eats, pees, or poops, effortlessly goes from London to Paris to Istanbul to someplace in the Baltic; builds explosive devices in his hotel rooms, the materials of which he always has in his backpack; and kills some of the baddies while exposing the CIA execs. Anyone who has ever worked with anything electrical or mechanical KNOWs that you get to the "Lowes" moment where you go, "Damn, I need a 5/8s" nut or this won't work. But not in the movies. This is a mildly entertaining movie that was way short on development of Malik's grieving husband (nothing, for example like the John Wick series were the dog became the substitute image of his wife, and thus he was genuinely grieved by the killing of the dog. Don't see it in a theater. OK on streaming, where you can take a pizza break.

      <title>Today&apos;s News, May 6-7, 2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Probably the single biggest complaint and point of tension between Trump and the MAGA electorate is the seemingly glacial pace of indictments for the political traitors and conspirators, along with the the tardiness in releasing the Epstein list. Jeff Childers, in his <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/the-destroyer-wednesday-may-6-2025?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=163051474&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">"Coffee and Covid"</a> column, argues that a far more important DOJ war is going on against human trafficking, where no fewer than 270 (!!!) investigations are under way. In all likelihood, that consumes 1,000-2,000 DOJ personnel and, when combined with the 70+ court battles DOJ has to fight, you are now looking at another 1,000 personnel. FBI director Kash Patel says that the bureau is in a full-scale war with a trafficking group called "764," and that they have already arrested over 200 leaders of the group and freed a large number of children (Patel did not give specifics). <i>Every single one</i> of the 55 FBI field offices is involved in this war. The 764 and other groups prey on white, underage girls, getting to them through social media, games, and chat forums. Many of these groups are flat-out satanic, and many are neo-Nazi white supremacist. Childers, a lawyer, gives a case-file example of how this worked. The Moloch-lovers who compose these groups are called "accelerationists" because they want to accelerte civilization's collapse. Demonic Diddlepickles is more like it.<a href="https://x.com/bx_on_x/status/1879564402464346496" target="_blank"> An X account named "BX" has posted a review of these poodlepinchers.</a> As Childers warns, this isn't a bunch of toss-off toadstools fomenting in their basements. This is a <i>global and digital</i> organization of Baal-humping malcontents every bit the equivalent of al-Qaeda, but with different tactics. As "friends" on X, Instagram, Facebook, or other social media pages they use phrases such as "You're so mature for your age" or "Your parents don't get you" to start the grooming cycle. Please read the whole column. While some would say, "Well, the Epstein files are so high profile it would <i>send a message</i>." Apparently from the get go---and AG Pam Bondi has highlighted this repeatedly---the Trump administration places such a high value on saving these kids from trafficking that it is willing to take the hit for diverting resources from a guy who didn't kill himself and whose operation is shut down.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Speaking of investigations and prosecutions that need to be done, but which we apparently don't have the resources for, <a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/05/new-memo-reveals-biden-regime-ordered-feds-investigate/" target="_blank">Rutabaga's evil administration targeted "non-criminal conservatives" </a>who spread "disinformation."</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Writers at <a href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/democrats-are-forgetting-an-important?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=239058&post_id=162908361&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"><i>The Liberal Patriot</i> are desperately dredging up the ghost of Zero (Barack Obama), </a>forgetting that he lost a <i>record number</i> of DemoKKKrat seats nationally and locally. Zero never helped the DemoKKKrats, and lost significant national support even though he beat an inept and globalist Minion Romney in 2012. So, yeah, boys. Keep dredging up the Ghost of Racist Past. Meanwhile, Richard Baris's <a href="https://x.com/PpollingNumbers/status/1919763649964515390" target="_blank">Big Data Poll has Trump at 48% approval, 47% disapproval.</a> And I think Rich would agree that no matter how hard he tries to adjust, there are another 1-2% of pro-Trump voters who just refuse to be polled, skewing the results downward. Rasmussen also had Trump up, and over 50%.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) In huge news, with both John Roberts and ACB voting with the majority, the Supes <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/supreme-court-allows-trump-ban-on-transgender-members-of-the-military-to-take-effect-for-now/ar-AA1Eh6G8?ocid=BingNewsSerp" target="_blank">upheld</a> President Trump's transoid ban. <a href="http://ban.here/" target="_blank">Here</a> is a <a href="https://apnews.com/projects/trump-executive-order-lawsuit-tracker/" target="_blank">review of all the court cases pending against the Trump admin</a>. If you just look at green vs. red (approve vs. blocked) green is winning. Many are still "pending."</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) It's <a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1919436935082180793?t=XA6nW_HA7foj0K_Km0Zqgw&s=03" target="_blank">Wyoming</a>, so why is this important? Because it is 100% in line with every other state we can track: GOP gained a net of 120 over DemoKKKrats and 40 over BOTH DemoKKKrats and Independents. Now, in NC we see the normal pattern of GOP beating DemoKKKrats (again), bringing their overall lead down to 105,000 from 175,000 in 2020, but in NC Republicans have now taken <a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1919406743572086897?t=2XlcbFrQp9PeRt5M_qIH-w&s=03" target="_blank">an 83,000 lead in active voter registration.</a> Meanwhile, Seth Keshel's substack offers a quick review in which<a href="https://skeshel.substack.com/p/may-2025-voter-registration-by-party?utm_campaign=email-half-post&r=dx45b&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> in seven battlegrounds Rs have out gained Ds</a>. Every. Single. One. The latest from NH, where <a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1919769126563938363" target="_blank">Rs gained more than the Ds and Is put </a>together, while in NV, May statistics show <a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1919421840222716049" target="_blank">the GOP netted 2,200 over the Ds.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Former Los Angeles County Sheriff<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/former-blue-county-sheriff-unleashes-dems-after-switching-parties" target="_blank"> Alex Villanueva</a> has left the DemoKKKrat Party for the Republicans.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Fetterman Massacre, the Human Ox, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/as-fetterman-defends-israel-dems-suddenly-question-his-mental-health" target="_blank">has defended Israel</a>. Uh oh. Now DemoKKKrat snakescratchers are questioning his mental health. These are the same people who think women are men and the same ones who said, when Fetterman was in the hospital with a stroke and was temporarily brain dead, that he was sharp as a tack.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Shocked, I tell ya. A new House report shows that the <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/05/06/us-news/fbi-butchered-2017-congressional-baseball-shooting-probe-downplayed-anti-gop-motives-of-gunman-blistering-report-concludes/" target="_blank">FBI "butchered" the report on the softball game shooting, downplaying the anti GOP animosity of the shooter, </a>who left a clear letter indicating his hatred of Republicans. Seriously, we need to raze the FBI as an institution.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) President Trump met<a href="https://amgreatness.com/2025/05/06/morning-greatness-trump-to-meet-with-prime-minister-of-canada/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=67803" target="_blank"> with the newly elected governor of the 51st state</a>, who insisted Canada would NEVER become part of the U.S. Trump said "never say never," but failed to point out that in fact Canada would not be the 51st state. Greenland would be, and Canada would be the 52nd.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) The Bureau of Prisons is <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/bureau-prisons-assessing-trumps-directive-reopen-alcatraz/story?id=121474332" target="_blank">assessing Trump's call to reopen Alcatraz.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>11) <a href="https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2025/05/06/michelle-obama-in-therapy-is-transitioning-to-next-phase-of-her-life-n4939541" target="_blank">Michelle O is headed for therapy</a>, saying she is (and I quote) "transitioning" to the next stage of life. Would that be without Zero, or without the aspects of femininity?</p><p><br /> </p><p>12) AOC, better known as Occasional Cortex, <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/05/06/aoc-oversight-committee-robert-garcia-crockett" target="_blank">thinks she's running for president.</a></p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_b2d5e90d5f34499fa15afd822716784b~mv2.jpeg/v1/fill/w_308,h_223,al_c,lg_1,q_80,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_b2d5e90d5f34499fa15afd822716784b~mv2.jpeg" alt="" /><p>13) President Trump <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-announces-5-judicial-nominations-for-missouri-dc-courts-5853593?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">has announced five more judicial nominations</a>, following one last week.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Probably the single biggest complaint and point of tension between Trump and the MAGA electorate is the seemingly glacial pace of indictments for the political traitors and conspirators, along with the the tardiness in releasing the Epstein list. Jeff Childers, in his <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/the-destroyer-wednesday-may-6-2025?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=163051474&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">"Coffee and Covid"</a> column, argues that a far more important DOJ war is going on against human trafficking, where no fewer than 270 (!!!) investigations are under way. In all likelihood, that consumes 1,000-2,000 DOJ personnel and, when combined with the 70+ court battles DOJ has to fight, you are now looking at another 1,000 personnel. FBI director Kash Patel says that the bureau is in a full-scale war with a trafficking group called "764," and that they have already arrested over 200 leaders of the group and freed a large number of children (Patel did not give specifics). <i>Every single one</i> of the 55 FBI field offices is involved in this war. The 764 and other groups prey on white, underage girls, getting to them through social media, games, and chat forums. Many of these groups are flat-out satanic, and many are neo-Nazi white supremacist. Childers, a lawyer, gives a case-file example of how this worked. The Moloch-lovers who compose these groups are called "accelerationists" because they want to accelerte civilization's collapse. Demonic Diddlepickles is more like it.<a href="https://x.com/bx_on_x/status/1879564402464346496" target="_blank"> An X account named "BX" has posted a review of these poodlepinchers.</a> As Childers warns, this isn't a bunch of toss-off toadstools fomenting in their basements. This is a <i>global and digital</i> organization of Baal-humping malcontents every bit the equivalent of al-Qaeda, but with different tactics. As "friends" on X, Instagram, Facebook, or other social media pages they use phrases such as "You're so mature for your age" or "Your parents don't get you" to start the grooming cycle. Please read the whole column. While some would say, "Well, the Epstein files are so high profile it would <i>send a message</i>." Apparently from the get go---and AG Pam Bondi has highlighted this repeatedly---the Trump administration places such a high value on saving these kids from trafficking that it is willing to take the hit for diverting resources from a guy who didn't kill himself and whose operation is shut down.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Speaking of investigations and prosecutions that need to be done, but which we apparently don't have the resources for, <a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/05/new-memo-reveals-biden-regime-ordered-feds-investigate/" target="_blank">Rutabaga's evil administration targeted "non-criminal conservatives" </a>who spread "disinformation."</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Writers at <a href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/democrats-are-forgetting-an-important?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=239058&post_id=162908361&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"><i>The Liberal Patriot</i> are desperately dredging up the ghost of Zero (Barack Obama), </a>forgetting that he lost a <i>record number</i> of DemoKKKrat seats nationally and locally. Zero never helped the DemoKKKrats, and lost significant national support even though he beat an inept and globalist Minion Romney in 2012. So, yeah, boys. Keep dredging up the Ghost of Racist Past. Meanwhile, Richard Baris's <a href="https://x.com/PpollingNumbers/status/1919763649964515390" target="_blank">Big Data Poll has Trump at 48% approval, 47% disapproval.</a> And I think Rich would agree that no matter how hard he tries to adjust, there are another 1-2% of pro-Trump voters who just refuse to be polled, skewing the results downward. Rasmussen also had Trump up, and over 50%.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) In huge news, with both John Roberts and ACB voting with the majority, the Supes <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/supreme-court-allows-trump-ban-on-transgender-members-of-the-military-to-take-effect-for-now/ar-AA1Eh6G8?ocid=BingNewsSerp" target="_blank">upheld</a> President Trump's transoid ban. <a href="http://ban.here/" target="_blank">Here</a> is a <a href="https://apnews.com/projects/trump-executive-order-lawsuit-tracker/" target="_blank">review of all the court cases pending against the Trump admin</a>. If you just look at green vs. red (approve vs. blocked) green is winning. Many are still "pending."</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) It's <a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1919436935082180793?t=XA6nW_HA7foj0K_Km0Zqgw&s=03" target="_blank">Wyoming</a>, so why is this important? Because it is 100% in line with every other state we can track: GOP gained a net of 120 over DemoKKKrats and 40 over BOTH DemoKKKrats and Independents. Now, in NC we see the normal pattern of GOP beating DemoKKKrats (again), bringing their overall lead down to 105,000 from 175,000 in 2020, but in NC Republicans have now taken <a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1919406743572086897?t=2XlcbFrQp9PeRt5M_qIH-w&s=03" target="_blank">an 83,000 lead in active voter registration.</a> Meanwhile, Seth Keshel's substack offers a quick review in which<a href="https://skeshel.substack.com/p/may-2025-voter-registration-by-party?utm_campaign=email-half-post&r=dx45b&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> in seven battlegrounds Rs have out gained Ds</a>. Every. Single. One. The latest from NH, where <a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1919769126563938363" target="_blank">Rs gained more than the Ds and Is put </a>together, while in NV, May statistics show <a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1919421840222716049" target="_blank">the GOP netted 2,200 over the Ds.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Former Los Angeles County Sheriff<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/former-blue-county-sheriff-unleashes-dems-after-switching-parties" target="_blank"> Alex Villanueva</a> has left the DemoKKKrat Party for the Republicans.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Fetterman Massacre, the Human Ox, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/as-fetterman-defends-israel-dems-suddenly-question-his-mental-health" target="_blank">has defended Israel</a>. Uh oh. Now DemoKKKrat snakescratchers are questioning his mental health. These are the same people who think women are men and the same ones who said, when Fetterman was in the hospital with a stroke and was temporarily brain dead, that he was sharp as a tack.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Shocked, I tell ya. A new House report shows that the <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/05/06/us-news/fbi-butchered-2017-congressional-baseball-shooting-probe-downplayed-anti-gop-motives-of-gunman-blistering-report-concludes/" target="_blank">FBI "butchered" the report on the softball game shooting, downplaying the anti GOP animosity of the shooter, </a>who left a clear letter indicating his hatred of Republicans.

He sees the end game as "de-politicizing" American universities. Yet nothing has ever, ever truly been "depoliticized." Rather, for almost 200 years we blindly accepted that one <i>could</i> depoliticize areas of life---education, entertainment, even religion. Jesus did say "render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's." But the question has become, how and where do you change who is Caesar? And if you wait too long, can you do it at all? Personally, I think to achieve what Kimball wants requires a complete renovation that begins with the entire university structure basically eliminated.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN TRANSOID NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>18) Following in the footsteps of Mediocre Britain---and you won't hear me say that much---the <a href="https://www.thefp.com/p/evidence-for-pediatric-gender-transitions?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">U.S. Health & Human Services released a study showing that the medical case for mutilating children is extremely weak</a> and previous research has been deeply flawed.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ECONOMIC NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>19) Interior Secretary Doug Burgum <a href="https://x.com/bennyjohnson/status/1918674760545783872" target="_blank">toured an oil rig in the Gulf of America and noted that Rutabaga banned development there.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>20) The<a href="https://www.statnews.com/2025/05/01/medicare-advantage-justice-department-kickbacks-allegations/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> DOJ has filed suit against Medicare Advantage brokers and dealers for accepting kickbacks</a>.

He sees the end game as "de-politicizing" American universities. Yet nothing has ever, ever truly been "depoliticized." Rather, for almost 200 years we blindly accepted that one <i>could</i> depoliticize areas of life---education, entertainment, even religion. Jesus did say "render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's." But the question has become, how and where do you change who is Caesar? And if you wait too long, can you do it at all? Personally, I think to achieve what Kimball wants requires a complete renovation that begins with the entire university structure basically eliminated.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN TRANSOID NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>18) Following in the footsteps of Mediocre Britain---and you won't hear me say that much---the <a href="https://www.thefp.com/p/evidence-for-pediatric-gender-transitions?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">U.S. Health & Human Services released a study showing that the medical case for mutilating children is extremely weak</a> and previous research has been deeply flawed.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ECONOMIC NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>19) Interior Secretary Doug Burgum <a href="https://x.com/bennyjohnson/status/1918674760545783872" target="_blank">toured an oil rig in the Gulf of America and noted that Rutabaga banned development there.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>20) The<a href="https://www.statnews.com/2025/05/01/medicare-advantage-justice-department-kickbacks-allegations/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> DOJ has filed suit against Medicare Advantage brokers and dealers for accepting kickbacks</a>.

      <title>Today&apos;s News, May 1-3, 2025, Weekend Edition</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) President Trump had his <a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/B-1xpqn6z2o?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">fourth cabinet meeting in 100 days</a> (Rutabaga had nine in FOUR YEARS), and all of the secretaries praised Trump's programs, which greatly irritated the Moloch-lovers. SecState <a href="https://protrumpnews.com/rubio-exposes-biden-admin-had-disinformation-dossier-on-trump-official/" target="_blank">Muy Macho Marco Rubio </a>revealed that Rutabaga had an office specifically tasked to produce disinformation on political opponents.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) If there was a competition among Trump's cabinet secretaries for who could do the most the fastest, it would be a tie among Doug Burgum, Chris Wright, Lee Zeldin, and RFK, Jr. (sad to say, so far, Pam Bondi would be in the second tier). Nevertheless, <a href="https://www.shorenewsnetwork.com/2025/04/30/rfk-jr-accuses-biden-era-hhs-of-role-in-child-trafficking-says-trump-team-now-locating-300000-missing-minors/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">RFK, Jr. issued a stunning statement that the Rutabaga administration played a part in child trafficking</a> and that the Trump administration is searching for 300,000 kids. Sadly, history suggests these poor kids are going to be impossible to find, but it is absolutely worth the search.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Finally! Robert Kennedy's HHS i<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/article/hhs-to-require-placebo-controlled-trials-for-new-vaccines-5850077?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-05-01&src_cmp=mb-2025-05-01&utm_medium=email&est=gPbdv7JWqNCJFJTz2aWW1WFT6oYKm7vu4Dx%2FOBZk7%2BLyCo37QwT5EV7U%2BuLnHrY3bJLa2Rg%3D" target="_blank">s requiring all new vaxxes to be tested against placebos</a>. I would amend that to say they all must be tested on vax CEOs first. By the way, the Rutabaga=era vax snakeoil salesmen are deeply disturbed that vaxxes might actually be tested by someone other than Pfizer or Moderna. Gee, wonder why?</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Slowly the dam is breaking, as a GA legislator who <a href="https://x.com/LeadingReport/status/1918017090444840984?t=iotzXxOBxHVmYNJQj59ZJw&s=03" target="_blank">called for Trump's assassination has been arrested on sex trafficking charges</a>. This "may" be how Bondi is handling this. Suspecting she will not be able to get convictions on their actual crimes of treason and overall spooge-spreading, she may be using alternative laws---<i><strong>particularly sex-trafficking</strong></i>, which, in fact, most of these Moloch-lovers have likely engaged in, to put them away.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) The <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/04/30/fbi-george-floyd-kneeling-protests-reassignment-kash-patel/" target="_blank">FBI has punished/reassigned agents who took a knee during George Floyd riots.</a> Sounds merciful to me.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) NM saw a net GOP gain of over 700, <a href="https://x.com/Five_Starrr/status/1917923377538310193" target="_blank">slashing some 5,000 off the D's margin since November </a>2024. In New Jersey, <a href="https://x.com/Five_Starrr/status/1917952759128834526" target="_blank">Rs net gained 1,800 last month.</a> More GOP registration news, this time from <a href="https://x.com/earlyvotedata/status/1918032880988745860?t=QMc5WqjF-X7txZLaIOn30w&s=03" target="_blank">IA where Rs out-registered Ds by a net of 2,180</a>. Again, with a single week exception in PA, this string of GOP registration net gains is unbroken in nearly a year in every state.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) James O'Keefe promises a "bombshell" drop in a week <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/04/30/james-okeefe-releases-chilling-message-i-am-not/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">and adds, "I am not suicidal. Please pray for me."</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>8) New York Public Schools <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/04/30/us-news/nyc-public-schools-spark-outrage-over-newsletter-accusing-israel-of-genocide-in-gaza/" target="_blank">sent a newsletter to teachers accusing Israel of "genocide" in Gaza.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>9) Great news, as in TX,<a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/politics/government/new-internal-polls-show-john-cornyn-trailing-senate-primary-challenger-ken-paxton/ar-AA1DX5sf?ocid=BingNewsVerp" target="_blank"> Sen. Cornhole trails Ken Paxton</a> in the senate race.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) <a href="https://www.nysun.com/article/democratic-hotheads-frustrated-with-timid-opposition-to-trump-call-for-more-fire-and-brimstone?lctg=1679237530&recognized_email=larryschweikart%40gmail.com&utm_source=MG&utm_medium=email-newsletter&utm_campaign=Morning%20Sun%20%202025-05-02" target="_blank">Frustrated DemoKKKrats are calling for more mass protests.</a> Cuz, you know, the last ones full of geriatric white people on crutches and sucking on inhalers was just sooooooo effective in stopping President Trump. By the way, Trump has <a href="https://x.com/LeadingReport/status/1918144043164246447?t=bRfLpc8m4BhlBdFtRjjlWQ&s=03" target="_blank">signed an order terminating government funding for NPR and PBS.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>11) The State Department <a href="https://freebeacon.com/trump-administration/state-department-to-dismantle-anti-israel-grant-making-office-in-series-of-moves-to-rein-in-rogue-people-at-agency/" target="_blank">is dismantling an anti-Israel rogue ageency</a>. Meanwhile, it looks like Hegseth won (my newly-christened nickname for him is "The Punisher"), as <a href="https://x.com/JenniferJJacobs/status/1917952746063269920" target="_blank">Nat Security Advisor Mike Waltz is stepping down along with his leaky advisor Alex Wong.</a> And I don't think they got the Wong man here. However, now Muy Macho Marco will take over as National Security Advisor, as well as being Archivist and heading USAID. Seems to me this points to two developments. First, Trump increasingly trusts Muy Macho as he has been at the forefront of slapping down people like Green Screen Zelensky. Second, I think this was part of Trump's overall consolidation/eliminate waste plan to combine the positions anyway. Oh, and it wouldn't be the first time the Secretary of State wore so many hats. In the War of 1812, Secretary of State James Monroe had to become in essence acting president when President James Madison was forced to ride out of DC and go on the lam, and then Madison, when he caught up to the incompetent Secretary of War, William Eustis, fired him, then after replacing him with John Armstrong, fired him as well, making Monroe the temporary Secretary of War as well.</p><p><br /> </p><p>12) Here is <a href="https://www.nysun.com/article/legal-pressure-was-mounting-on-virginia-giuffre-who-had-attempted-suicide-before?newsletter-access&recognized_email=larryschweikart%40gmail.com&utm_source=MG&utm_medium=email-newsletter&utm_campaign=Breaking%20%202025-05-01" target="_blank">new info on the legal and financial troubles of Epstein accuser Virginia Guiffre following her suicide.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>13) The U.S. government <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/doj-family-of-jan-6-shooting-victim-ashli-babbitt-agree-to-settle-lawsuit-5851442?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-05-03&src_cmp=mb-2025-05-03&utm_medium=email&est=tmJe1AjVP0Lr6gBwOh1cjkahZW9s2lnnbFHpj%2F8OKjMASl1QzaIY5Ueue6lRBGaBz6mg4oE%3D" target="_blank">settled with the family of Ashi Babbit, the unarmed woman shot by that criminal Michael Byrd, for $30 million. </a>But he still flies free.</p><p><br /> </p><p>14) President Trump has announced<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-plans-grand-military-parade-to-mark-armys-250th-birthday-white-house-confirms-5851418?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-05-03&src_cmp=mb-2025-05-03&utm_medium=email&est=2AWpmmsRAtzOFnv7d3VZQMqwx56DaldsFW32a%2FILI55iSq1axXIfkfrEpX4ADipqkeSQsFU%3D" target="_blank"> a military parade on June 14 to celebrate the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>15) Trump <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-announces-1st-judicial-nomination-since-returning-to-white-house-5851163?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">has made his first appellate judge nomination</a>.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) President Trump had his <a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/B-1xpqn6z2o?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">fourth cabinet meeting in 100 days</a> (Rutabaga had nine in FOUR YEARS), and all of the secretaries praised Trump's programs, which greatly irritated the Moloch-lovers. SecState <a href="https://protrumpnews.com/rubio-exposes-biden-admin-had-disinformation-dossier-on-trump-official/" target="_blank">Muy Macho Marco Rubio </a>revealed that Rutabaga had an office specifically tasked to produce disinformation on political opponents.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) If there was a competition among Trump's cabinet secretaries for who could do the most the fastest, it would be a tie among Doug Burgum, Chris Wright, Lee Zeldin, and RFK, Jr. (sad to say, so far, Pam Bondi would be in the second tier). Nevertheless, <a href="https://www.shorenewsnetwork.com/2025/04/30/rfk-jr-accuses-biden-era-hhs-of-role-in-child-trafficking-says-trump-team-now-locating-300000-missing-minors/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">RFK, Jr. issued a stunning statement that the Rutabaga administration played a part in child trafficking</a> and that the Trump administration is searching for 300,000 kids. Sadly, history suggests these poor kids are going to be impossible to find, but it is absolutely worth the search.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Finally! Robert Kennedy's HHS i<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/article/hhs-to-require-placebo-controlled-trials-for-new-vaccines-5850077?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-05-01&src_cmp=mb-2025-05-01&utm_medium=email&est=gPbdv7JWqNCJFJTz2aWW1WFT6oYKm7vu4Dx%2FOBZk7%2BLyCo37QwT5EV7U%2BuLnHrY3bJLa2Rg%3D" target="_blank">s requiring all new vaxxes to be tested against placebos</a>. I would amend that to say they all must be tested on vax CEOs first. By the way, the Rutabaga=era vax snakeoil salesmen are deeply disturbed that vaxxes might actually be tested by someone other than Pfizer or Moderna. Gee, wonder why?</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Slowly the dam is breaking, as a GA legislator who <a href="https://x.com/LeadingReport/status/1918017090444840984?t=iotzXxOBxHVmYNJQj59ZJw&s=03" target="_blank">called for Trump's assassination has been arrested on sex trafficking charges</a>. This "may" be how Bondi is handling this.

      <itunes:summary>The latest update presents a highly charged and partisan overview of U.S. political, economic, cultural, and international developments under the Trump administration, contrasting it sharply with the prior Biden (&quot;Rutabaga&quot;) era. It celebrates Trump’s cabinet activity, vaccine policy changes, crackdown on political opponents, and economic gains like job growth and GOP voter registration surges, while alleging deep corruption, sex trafficking, and disinformation under Biden. It praises conservative figures and policies, criticizes perceived liberal and globalist agendas, and offers commentary on media, entertainment, immigration, and COVID-19 vaccines, often with provocative language and conspiratorial overtones.</itunes:summary>

      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/trump-orders-probe-91117/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">Trump has ordered investigations into more of the "resistance" </a>glumbugglers.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Wait, they think this is a win? A <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/wisconsin-hold-91116/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews/&utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews%2F" target="_blank">WI judge says she won't "hold court" after the arrest of her colleague</a>. Sounds good to me. The fewer iguana-loving poodlesniffers in black robes, the better.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) A new Rasmussen poll shows that <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/04/29/nolte-exclusive-71-believe-media-rig-polls-to-fit-political-agenda/" target="_blank">a whopping 71% of Americans believe polls are rigged</a> to produce a partisan result.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) My Brit counterpart, Niall Ferguson, states that "<a href="https://www.thefp.com/p/niall-ferguson-donald-trump-first-hundred-days?utm_campaign=260347&utm_source=cross-post&r=dx45b&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Donald Trump is Crushing his To-Do List."</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>5) <a href="https://conservativeroof.com/foreign-funding-for-u-s-universities-under-biden-matches-total-from-past-40-years-combined/" target="_blank">Foreign funding for universities exploded under the brainless Rutabaga</a>, as he allowed enemies to infiltrate all our educational facilities.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Daniel Street <a href="https://danielrstreet.substack.com/p/learn-about-even-more-trump-wins?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=865083&post_id=162088232&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">reviews some of Team Trump's recent (quiet) court victories.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>7) US prosecutor Ed Martin <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/another-medical-journal-says-it-received-letter-from-us-prosecutor-5846490?utm_source=Bright&src_src=Bright&utm_campaign=bright-2025-04-28&src_cmp=bright-2025-04-28&utm_medium=email&est=uMkiG3KjtoyHJP6WoYDMzmRpnvuXdiFcsrPuPPmHyPOeSAQiUGxagHcOS9GqQi6dNqx6Wx4b" target="_blank">has sent letters to two medical journals </a>upbraiding them for ADMITTED bias in articles.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) The Peace Corps, which as I detailed in my book, <i>A Patriot's History of the Modern World, vol. II</i>, the Peace Corps was largely staffed by utterly incompetent college kids who did not speak the local language, knew no local customs and had no usable skills. Now DOGE has turned its guns on the organization, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/28/peace-corps-doge-elon-musk?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">which will undergo "significant cuts."</a> Let's hope it goes the way of USAID and is cut out of existence..</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) As <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/momentum-tuesday-april-29-2025-c?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=162408048&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">"Coffee and Covid"</a> points out, the administration has also nixed the <a href="https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/cop/trump-administration-dismisses-all-authors-key-climate-report-email-says-2025-04-28/?utm_source=chatgpt.com&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">"National Climate Assessment," </a>a useless green/globalwarming grift. As Jeff Childers notes, this is all from ONE DAY's worth of news. The <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cly1n7jz587o?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">BBC </a>summarized Trump's first 100 days here, and almost certainly has understated the scope of the change.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) Ruh Roh. The T<a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-nj/pr/us-attorneys-office-announces-task-force-preserve-and-protect-integrity-elections?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">rump administration just created an Elections Integrity Task Force</a>.

Do you think the Arapahoe and Cheyenne would take the state back?</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ECONOMIC NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>18) Tone deaf and culturally spoogistic<a href="https://jennifersey.substack.com/p/never-again-until-next-year-is-nikes?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=904886&post_id=162368587&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> Nike has run a red billboard at the end of the London marathon with a new slogan "Never Again . . . Until Next Year.</a>" What never again, Nike? The Holocaust? October 7? As Jennifer Sey writes, "mocking the death of 8 million Jews kind of crosses over from 'edgy' to really stupid." But this is what you get with woke. Moreover (and even stupider) Nike plans to stick with the slogan.</p><p><br /> </p><p>19) President Trump's tariffs <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/business/us-tariff-revenues-reach-record-15-billion-in-april-treasury-5848786?utm_source=Goodevening&src_src=Goodevening&utm_campaign=gv-2025-04-28&src_cmp=gv-2025-04-28&utm_medium=email&est=AF5lMp5%2BtnOM5HgZJmsXWL1uIsnbYDGgENd4RbkyQJE%2BZvu9G9whi8CYSzimwMjCOGVwdKx8" target="_blank">brought in over $115 billion in April</a>, meaning a year long summation would leave the U.S. with an additional $1.3 trillion. And he's just getting started. Trump has also granted tariff relief <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/tariff-relief-coming-for-automakers-producing-in-the-us-says-white-house-5849537?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-04-30&src_cmp=mb-2025-04-30&utm_medium=email&est=gReqGqEW1OPNaD4JMSCQHYzKe9Q3GNqgHdisP3z2gEuEnBrWni0%2FaMSX7zXsCq1oy9Ei%2Fos%3D" target="_blank">for automakers who are mostly producing in the U.S.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>20) Amazon was going to <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/amazon-denies-report-of-plans-to-display-costs-of-us-tariffs-on-website-5849408?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-04-29-3&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-04-29-3&utm_medium=email&est=50VRnNhavsl%2BUK%2BQSggTP0ezs4GXoVW0PFkA3jbffawutAWcLr0V2YnDZVG7UKNvd1G3Zpg%3D" target="_blank">post the cost of Trump's tariffs on ChiCom goods </a>but after the White House posted a display, backed off. The situation is still in flux though.</p><p><br /> </p><p>21) Kollyfornia has <a href="https://blackmon.substack.com/p/stein-and-umbro-another-refinery?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=712558&post_id=162533192&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">launched a war on oil and is becoming more dependent than ever on Chy-na.</a> I cannot wait for this state to go full Thunderdome and see pols like Newsome and Shifty the Human Lemur thrown into giant cages with Bubba the Bouncing Hillbilly.</p><p><br /> </p><p>22) <a href="https://wolfstreet.com/2025/04/29/despite-all-moaning-and-groaning-layoffs-discharges-plunge-hires-voluntary-quits-rise-driven-by-private-sector-strength/" target="_blank">Layoffs have fallen,</a> hires have risen.</p><p><br /> </p><p>23) The Treasury debt funding is already $2 billion <a href="https://confoundedinterest.net/2025/04/28/doge-is-working-us-debt-funding-needs-2bn-less-than-treasury-forecast-in-february/" target="_blank">below what was forecast just two months ago.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>24) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/business/merck-announces-1-billion-investment-in-delaware-500-full-time-jobs-5849369?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">Merck has announced a $1 billion investment</a> in Delaware, creating 500 jobs.</p><p><br /> </p><p>25) The first estimate of post-tariff GDP <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1917559727636021685" target="_blank">is a tiny decline of .03,</a> far less than the Atlanta Fed's estimate of -2+ percent. All the doomspoogers are freaking out, but this was a shockingly good number given that the tariffs haven't fully kicked in and that Trump has fired tens of thousands from the gubment trough.</p><p><br /> </p><p>26) The stench of Rutabaga lingers as <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/us-homeownership-rate-falls-to-lowest-level-in-5-years-5849326?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">the home ownership rate has fallen to the lowest in five years.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>27) There has been a <a href="https://interestingengineering.com/innovation/us-ucla-hydrogen-fuel-cell-breakthrough" target="_blank">significant breakthrough in a new hydrogen power cell, that provides up to 200,000 hours of life </a>for minimal power drop off.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>28) Power is restored, for now, in Spain and Portugal (who blame each other for the outage) and gee whiz, <a href="https://blackmon.substack.com/p/with-most-power-restored-spain-portugal?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=712558&post_id=162397823&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">no one knows why the blackout happened</a> . . . but everyone expects more. Oh, and this from David Blackmon: it appears that when Spain and Portugal ran out of juice,<a href="https://blackmon.substack.com/p/excellent-explanations-about-mondays-61f?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=712558&post_id=162496691&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> they snagged a bunch from France, whose grid operator shut it down.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>29) Top authorities in the Philippines <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/beijings-embassy-in-manila-engaged-in-treasonous-disinformation-campaign-lawmaker-alleges-5848539?utm_source=China&src_src=China&utm_campaign=uschina-2025-04-29&src_cmp=uschina-2025-04-29&utm_medium=email&est=aAj8VbLF4VRZYUuLW%2Bc8Z6ajv9dr1phCi3BzTUMz%2Fud76IttmDSBz3BWUIbjmwBrnvAVJRmH" target="_blank">say Chy-na hired a company to spread fake news. </a>Yeah, that's what commies do.</p><p><br /> </p><p>30) The Canucks had another election, <a href="https://x.com/ChristianHeiens/status/1917058107236118876" target="_blank">elevating another Liberal coloncreeper to the Prime Ministership</a>, but in the smallest margin in recent history. Even when combined with the goofball Green Party, the Liberals do not have a majority. Camada. as I said in today's substack<a href="https://larrys.substack.com/p/canada-aint-america" target="_blank"> is NOT like America</a> because they do not have two of the key "Four PIllars of American Exceptionalism."</p><p><br /> </p><p>31) Remember Monday when I posted the article about the ChiCom plastics industry was completely shut down due to a ban on US ethane in response to Trump's tariffs? <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1917239522183794829" target="_blank">Chy-na just removed that. </a>Now they are preparing a <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/live/trump-tariffs-live-updates-china-eases-tariffs-on-select-us-goods-as-trump-says-beijing-will-eat-the-costs-191201015.html" target="_blank">wide range of goods on which they will remove tariffs</a>. Meanwhile, the <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/china/china-deploys-growing-army-of-pro-beijing-ngos-to-un-to-target-critics-report-says-5849621?utm_source=China&src_src=China&utm_campaign=uschina-2025-04-30&src_cmp=uschina-2025-04-30&utm_medium=email&est=6DWuW%2B%2BNgJ954eTUoac%2B1eYoYHIRkdVLbE3sibXpDyFWH%2B5kFzj7zFlWr0bfmTUiYrZX1PQY" target="_blank">ChiComs are deploying an army of NGOs to the UN</a>, which should be removed from American shores. Make them meet in a safe place like . . . the Congo. Of course, Chy-na itself ain't all that safe any more, with <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/article/residents-say-sudden-deaths-are-increasing-in-china-5844867?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-04-30&src_cmp=mb-2025-04-30&utm_medium=email&est=nGXtqToPPylFhMotZVP8i5LGZvUtODiNGQgF1qhytboTUPitoO0FbiRn4tBFd0bXWOslknY%3D" target="_blank">new reports of "sudden deaths" increasing</a>. That happened a lot under Mao.</p><p><br /> </p><p>32) Romania's Trump-supporting candidate George Simion, leads in polls ahead of the Romanian election.<a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/04/29/romania-george-simion-donald-trump-presidential-election-europe-ukraine-russia/" target="_blank">https://dailycaller.com/2025/04/29/romania-george-simion-donald-trump-presidential-election-europe-ukraine-russia/</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>33) Me-hee-co announced an agreement <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory/mexico-us-reach-deal-rio-grande-water-sharing-121257398?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">to give Texas farmers more water.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>34) We have heard this before, but <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/04/30/world-news/ukraine-ready-to-sign-landmark-minerals-deal-with-the-us/" target="_blank">Ukraine is supposedly to sign a minerals deal with the U.S. today.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>35) <a href="https://locals.com/yellowflash/feed?post=6887896" target="_blank">Terence Howard</a>, star of "Empire" and numerous other shows, is being blacklisted because he doesn't want to do a homosexual kiss: "I would cut my lips off." Earlier he had noted that at the Diddley parties participants were getting "bent over."</p><p><br /> </p><p>36) I am watching Apple's "Your Friends and Neighbors" starring Jon Hamm. It's an engaging show about a hedge fund guy who loses everything---his wife to an affair (hers) with an NBA star, estranged children, his job for an affair (his) with a distant subordinate, and his money. He turns to an astonishingly easy life of theft from his neighbors' almost always empty houses. A-</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CHINA VIRUS NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>37) All the vaxxes were bad but it appears Pfizer was the worst, <a href="https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/new-study-pfizer-recipients-face?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1119676&post_id=162492584&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">with a 37% higher risk of death than Moderna.</a> Which is like saying with an asteroid hitting you have a 37% higher risk of death with one coming from Jupiter as from Neptune.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>AND FINALLY . . .</h3><p><br /> </p><p>38) Researchers can now <a href="https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/lsd-tweaked-to-harness-therapeutic-power-for-mental-health-without-hallucinogenic-effects/" target="_blank">tweak LSD to have therapeutic effects without the tripping.</a> Course, that was the only reason my bandmates took it. We were traveling across Texas at night---me, two other guys laying horizontal in the van's floor while my now-deceased guitarist George was driving. Suddenly I heard the brakes squeal and we rolled up to the front like tamales. "I saw a damn deer!" he said. We saw nothing. And in Texas, you can see for 100 miles. We went back to sleep, when, a half hour later, another screech, more tamales. "It's another damn deer," George said. We saw nothing. This happened a third time and we were about to remove him when we saw a deer bouncing away. "I got up in that deer's bowels" George said. Only later did we learn he was on acid.</p><p>By the way, I assure you, Stanley was NOT on LSD when we took this.</p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_10dd8b8ea09649a8bffaff36ab5b702d~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1480,h_1110,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_10dd8b8ea09649a8bffaff36ab5b702d~mv2.jpg" alt="" /><p><br /> </p><p><a href="https://www.wildworldofhistory.com/offers/9qFBdu2r" target="_blank">https://www.wildworldofhistory.com/offers/9qFBdu2r</a></p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/458721_8db4214a4f624de0b556158c6a8f0bb5~mv2.webp/v1/fill/w_1280,h_720,al_c,q_85,enc_avif,quality_auto/458721_8db4214a4f624de0b556158c6a8f0bb5~mv2.webp" alt="" /><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_0d374acf906b4f4e8682eff0e2078522~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_90,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_0d374acf906b4f4e8682eff0e2078522~mv2.png" alt="" />

All the doomspoogers are freaking out, but this was a shockingly good number given that the tariffs haven't fully kicked in and that Trump has fired tens of thousands from the gubment trough.</p><p><br /> </p><p>26) The stench of Rutabaga lingers as <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/us-homeownership-rate-falls-to-lowest-level-in-5-years-5849326?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">the home ownership rate has fallen to the lowest in five years.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>27) There has been a <a href="https://interestingengineering.com/innovation/us-ucla-hydrogen-fuel-cell-breakthrough" target="_blank">significant breakthrough in a new hydrogen power cell, that provides up to 200,000 hours of life </a>for minimal power drop off.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>28) Power is restored, for now, in Spain and Portugal (who blame each other for the outage) and gee whiz, <a href="https://blackmon.substack.com/p/with-most-power-restored-spain-portugal?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=712558&post_id=162397823&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">no one knows why the blackout happened</a> . . . but everyone expects more.

We went back to sleep, when, a half hour later, another screech, more tamales. "It's another damn deer," George said. We saw nothing. This happened a third time and we were about to remove him when we saw a deer bouncing away. "I got up in that deer's bowels" George said. Only later did we learn he was on acid.</p><p>By the way, I assure you, Stanley was NOT on LSD when we took this.</p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_10dd8b8ea09649a8bffaff36ab5b702d~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1480,h_1110,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_10dd8b8ea09649a8bffaff36ab5b702d~mv2.jpg" alt="" /><p><br /> </p><p><a href="https://www.wildworldofhistory.com/offers/9qFBdu2r" target="_blank">https://www.wildworldofhistory.com/offers/9qFBdu2r</a></p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/458721_8db4214a4f624de0b556158c6a8f0bb5~mv2.webp/v1/fill/w_1280,h_720,al_c,q_85,enc_avif,quality_auto/458721_8db4214a4f624de0b556158c6a8f0bb5~mv2.webp" alt="" /><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_0d374acf906b4f4e8682eff0e2078522~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_90,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_0d374acf906b4f4e8682eff0e2078522~mv2.png" alt="" />

      <itunes:summary>Trump intensifies investigations into political opponents while winning quiet legal battles and launching reforms like the Elections Integrity Task Force and tariff-driven economic gains. Public distrust in polls soars, foreign influence in education is exposed, and conservative cultural wins include defunding leftist programs and empowering parental rights. Internationally, China softens on tariffs, Romania’s Trump-aligned candidate gains ground, and power instability hits Europe.

      <itunes:subtitle>Trump intensifies investigations into political opponents while winning quiet legal battles and launching reforms like the Elections Integrity Task Force and tariff-driven economic gains. Public distrust in polls soars, foreign influence in education is exposed, and conservative cultural wins include defunding leftist programs and empowering parental rights. Internationally, China softens on tariffs, Romania’s Trump-aligned candidate gains ground, and power instability hits Europe. Economic signals are mixed with strong tariff revenues, lower layoffs, and green energy advances. Transgender ideology faces pushback, especially in the UK and Colorado, while Pfizer’s vaccine raises health concerns. Meanwhile, entertainment sees ideological clashes and researchers explore non-hallucinogenic LSD therapy.</itunes:subtitle>

      <title>Today&apos;s News, April 27, 2025 (Covering Much of Last Week Too)</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h2>The News of Today is the History of Tomorrow</h2><p><br /> </p><p>NOTE: We had a great convention and it was wonderful to see so many homeschool families out and to speak to so many of you. If you want to book Larry for a homeschool or political zoom talk---or in person---email me at <a href="mailto:Larry@wildworldofhistory.com" target="_blank">Larry@wildworldofhistory.com</a></p><p><br /> </p><p> </p><p><br /> </p><p><br /> </p><p><br /> </p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) There were major signs that the DOJ is finally moving on some arrests of the obstructionist and criminal burrowed in class when<a href="https://apnews.com/article/immigration-judge-arrested-7997186bbca5730e70a25f2347e631f6" target="_blank"> Kash Patel's FBI frog-marched a judge who aided and abetted an illegal alien</a> to the hoosecow. A couple of days earlier <a href="https://www.ktsm.com/news/new-mexico-judges-wife-in-ice-custody-following-alleged-tren-de-aragua-member-investigation/" target="_blank">Kristi Noem's DHS arrested a New Mexico judge who not only harbored an illegal alien,</a> but a violent member of Tren de Arugala or whatever it's called. Seth Keshel see this as a signal <a href="https://skeshel.substack.com/p/patels-milwaukee-frog-march-should?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=798984&post_id=162203643&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">"The arrests are coming."</a> In addition last week, the DOJ received criminal referrals on both Andrew Cuomo and the gluttongidget Letitia James. If prosecutions follow there, I think it signals that this low hanging fruit is just the first of these spoiled applies to be plucked. <a href="https://t.me/realKarliBonne/294676" target="_blank">Mike Davis</a>, who is a pretty straight shooter, said on the Steve Bannon show that "justice id definitely coming" and Steve seemed appeased.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Meanwhile, however, one of the most prominent witnesses in the Jeffrey (He-didn't-kill-himself) Epstein case, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/virginia-giuffre-one-jeffrey-epsteins-prominent-abuse-survivors-dies-s-rcna203027" target="_blank">Virginia Giuffre</a>, "died by suicide." But the real cause appeared to be spousal abuse,<a href="https://people.com/virginia-giuffre-family-speaks-out-about-her-suicide-at-41-exclusive-11722711" target="_blank"> as testified to by her journal.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>3) In huge news that went largely ignored, <a href="https://thsc.org/advocacy/legislation/school-choice-texas/" target="_blank">Texas adopted school choice.</a> This is a major breakthrough for homeschooling and private schooling. That makes 34 states with some form of school choice, which is now coming close to breaking the backs of the teachers' unions.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) The DemoKKKrat Party in Florida is dead, at least <a href="https://www.tallahassee.com/story/news/local/state/2025/04/24/florida-senate-top-democrat-jason-pizzo-quits-party-says-its-dead/83255691007/" target="_blank">according to the top DemoKKKrat state senator in the FL DemoKKKrat Party, who just switched to "independent." </a>While Ron DeSantis deserves credit for some of this, don't forget that FL was still D+ several hundred thousand prior to Rick Scott. He was the one who flipped it red.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Our pals at <a href="https://quantus.substack.com/p/the-polling-crisis-accuracy-bias?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=2710460&post_id=161972111&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=110hu&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">538 say polling is in a death spiral.</a> True, but not Baris's "People's Pundit," who remains extremely accurate because unlike the pollsters listed on RealClearPolitics, he doesn't cook his polling.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) A new analysis by <a href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/what-working-class-voters-really?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=239058&post_id=162016870&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Patrick Ruffini shows that the DemoKKKrat Party is moving further away from the "middle" position </a>most voters have on a wide, wide range of issues and becoming more wedded than ever to the college educated minority. But don't tell that to ex-CIA analyst, now senator Elissa Slotmachine Slotkin, who <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/04/24/slotkin-has-a-war-plan-to-beat-trump-dont-be-weak-and-woke-00308176" target="_blank">wants the DemoKKKrats to get some "alpha energy." </a>Sorry Slotmachine. That's hard to do when you're givin' 'em testosterone blockers.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) This author argues<a href="https://pjmedia.com/marktapscott/2025/04/26/bidens-expansions-doomed-social-security-medicaid-shows-lefts-cloward-piven-strategy-still-strong-n4939240" target="_blank"> that the Cloward-Piven strategy failed. </a>I would argue it did far worse than fail for the DemoKKKrats---it sparked a civil war over immigration and spending as exposed by Elon Musk that may have fatally forever wounded DemoKKKrats (as it seems that "good management') has become one of the catch-phrases of DemoKKKrat so-called "moderates" trying to save the party from destruction.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1916872843716944256" target="_blank">Another DemoKKKrat (VA Congressman) Gerry Connally</a> has announced he will retire due to a return to Congress. I wish him good health, and good riddance from Congress.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) Remember the DC helicopter/plane crash? Maybe people<a href="https://x.com/EndWokeness/status/1916537100058472487?t=BYsaxdA9SmBJjWABNZCPZw&s=03" target="_blank"> dropped the woke concerns of that DC crash too soon.</a> Looks like the female pilot ignored warnings from her male co-pilot.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) If my wife is unable to respond, I can't get certain medical help for her because of HIPPA. But <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/04/23/blue-shield-of-california-shared-the-private-health-data-of-millions-with-google-for-years/" target="_blank">Blue Shield in Kollyfornia shared health data of millions of people with Google for years</a>.</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) says he wants <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/building-7-controlled-demolition-republican-senator-plans-shock-911-hearings-says-my-eyes?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=4606" target="_blank">to investigate the collapse of Building 7 on 9/11</a>, saying it may have been "controlled demolition."</p><p><br /> </p><p>12) Washington State has become the<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/washington-1st-state-to-recognize-islamic-holidays-as-state-holidays" target="_blank"> first state to recognize Islamic holidays</a> as state holidays.</p><p><br /> </p><p>13) Imagine that. Dinobernie, who was around when the Flintstones were mere babes, says <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2025/04/27/bernie-sanders-democrats-lack-vision-for-the-future/" target="_blank">the DemoKKKrats have "no vision" for the future.</a> Yeah, like socialism Dinobernie? That fine economic system that killed millions and enslaved millions more? Go back to your third damn house. Meanwhile, Scott Pressler issued a warning note that for the <a href="https://x.com/ScottPresler/status/1916851582450241561" target="_blank">first time in years the DemoKKKrats out-registered Republicans in Pennsylvania by 1,000.</a> Seth Keshel ("Captain K's Corner on Substack) doesn't think this is significant, and thinks it's the result of a little voter roll purging and local election registration drives.</p><p><br /> </p><p>14) NARAL, the National Baal-Worshipping League of Maloch-lovers<a href="https://catholicvote.org/political-ads-shield-planned-parenthood-public-scrutiny-mounts-safety/" target="_blank">, is running ads trying to shield Planned Murderhood from public perceptions</a> that it is the modern-day equivalent of an Aztec Temple. Maybe that's because <a href="https://www.liveaction.org/news/missouri-court-appeals-planned-parenthood-documents/" target="_blank">the Missouri appeals court ordered Planned Murderhood to hand over documents to the state AG.</a> Oh and Planned Murderhood is <a href="https://www.sltrib.com/news/politics/2025/04/22/utah-clinics-close-after-trump/" target="_blank">closing two Utah clinics </a>after losing federal funding. Aztec witchdoctors greatly disappointed. By the way, this should tell you that without fed gubment funding, maybe abortion ain't all as popular as it's made out to be.</p><p><br /> </p><p>15) The USNavy has introduced a <a href="https://indiandefencereview.com/us-unveils-worlds-first-a-44-ton-ai-driven-warship-and-it-can-hit-1150-miles-without-stopping/" target="_blank">50 mph autonomous warship capable of a 1,000 range without stopping.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>16) An apparently mentally-challenged woman<a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/04/last-dance-st-louis-woman-twerking-roof-cadillac/" target="_blank"> was twerking on the top of a Cadillac when she fell off an was run over by a truck</a>. Well, the truck driver was probably a fan of the waltz.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>17) Oops. <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1916503470640636376" target="_blank">Looks like deportations are popular, by a 12 point margin.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>18) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/nearly-800-illegal-immigrants-arrested-in-florida-in-4-days-ice-says-5848252?utm_source=Goodevening&src_src=Goodevening&utm_campaign=gv-2025-04-27&src_cmp=gv-2025-04-27&utm_medium=email&est=fCUqWZELwsNbL8IT6%2BRh%2Fvx0kuOBpDlXh51WQIULT8%2FlV7FgQjWcObYke7J%2BbzUyxvYml7%2FW" target="_blank">ICE arrested nearly 800 illegal criminal invaders</a> in just a few days in Flordia.

"Oh, but they all just come here to work."</p><p><br /> </p><p>21) How <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/how-trump-sealed-the-border-in-his-first-100-days?utm_medium=email&utm_source=cnemail&seyid=66183" target="_blank">Trump sealed he border in 100 days.</a> This is a 98% drop from Rutabaga.</p><p><br /> </p><p>22) The White House lawn now is <a href="https://rumble.com/v6some7-white-house-lawn-lined-with-posters-displaying-illegal-immigrants-mugshots.html" target="_blank">lined with posters of mugshots of the illegal criminal invaders.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>23) For the first time in 40 years, <a href="https://www.christianitytoday.com/2025/04/christian-medical-school-opens-belmont-university/" target="_blank">a Christian medical school has opened up. </a>Previously they were viewed as "unscientific." You know, til all the doctors told us the China Virus vax was ok and that they couldn't define a woman.</p><p><br /> </p><p>24) Beautiful. This and money are the Achilles heels of universities: <a href="https://amgreatness.com/2025/04/24/morning-greatness-trump-targets-university-dei-with-executive-order-on-accreditation/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=65450" target="_blank">Trump threatens accreditation if there is DEI/woke institutionalism.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>25) I spoke of private schooling and homeschooling above.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>The News of Today is the History of Tomorrow</h2><p><br /> </p><p>NOTE: We had a great convention and it was wonderful to see so many homeschool families out and to speak to so many of you. If you want to book Larry for a homeschool or political zoom talk---or in person---email me at <a href="mailto:Larry@wildworldofhistory.com" target="_blank">Larry@wildworldofhistory.com</a></p><p><br /> </p><p> </p><p><br /> </p><p><br /> </p><p><br /> </p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) There were major signs that the DOJ is finally moving on some arrests of the obstructionist and criminal burrowed in class when<a href="https://apnews.com/article/immigration-judge-arrested-7997186bbca5730e70a25f2347e631f6" target="_blank"> Kash Patel's FBI frog-marched a judge who aided and abetted an illegal alien</a> to the hoosecow. A couple of days earlier <a href="https://www.ktsm.com/news/new-mexico-judges-wife-in-ice-custody-following-alleged-tren-de-aragua-member-investigation/" target="_blank">Kristi Noem's DHS arrested a New Mexico judge who not only harbored an illegal alien,</a> but a violent member of Tren de Arugala or whatever it's called. Seth Keshel see this as a signal <a href="https://skeshel.substack.com/p/patels-milwaukee-frog-march-should?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=798984&post_id=162203643&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">"The arrests are coming."</a> In addition last week, the DOJ received criminal referrals on both Andrew Cuomo and the gluttongidget Letitia James. If prosecutions follow there, I think it signals that this low hanging fruit is just the first of these spoiled applies to be plucked. <a href="https://t.me/realKarliBonne/294676" target="_blank">Mike Davis</a>, who is a pretty straight shooter, said on the Steve Bannon show that "justice id definitely coming" and Steve seemed appeased.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Meanwhile, however, one of the most prominent witnesses in the Jeffrey (He-didn't-kill-himself) Epstein case, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/virginia-giuffre-one-jeffrey-epsteins-prominent-abuse-survivors-dies-s-rcna203027" target="_blank">Virginia Giuffre</a>, "died by suicide." But the real cause appeared to be spousal abuse,<a href="https://people.com/virginia-giuffre-family-speaks-out-about-her-suicide-at-41-exclusive-11722711" target="_blank"> as testified to by her journal.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>3) In huge news that went largely ignored, <a href="https://thsc.org/advocacy/legislation/school-choice-texas/" target="_blank">Texas adopted school choice.</a> This is a major breakthrough for homeschooling and private schooling. That makes 34 states with some form of school choice, which is now coming close to breaking the backs of the teachers' unions.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) The DemoKKKrat Party in Florida is dead, at least <a href="https://www.tallahassee.com/story/news/local/state/2025/04/24/florida-senate-top-democrat-jason-pizzo-quits-party-says-its-dead/83255691007/" target="_blank">according to the top DemoKKKrat state senator in the FL DemoKKKrat Party, who just switched to "independent." </a>While Ron DeSantis deserves credit for some of this, don't forget that FL was still D+ several hundred thousand prior to Rick Scott. He was the one who flipped it red.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Our pals at <a href="https://quantus.substack.com/p/the-polling-crisis-accuracy-bias?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=2710460&post_id=161972111&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=110hu&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">538 say polling is in a death spiral.</a> True, but not Baris's "People's Pundit," who remains extremely accurate because unlike the pollsters listed on RealClearPolitics, he doesn't cook his polling.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) A new analysis by <a href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/what-working-class-voters-really?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=239058&post_id=162016870&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Patrick Ruffini shows that the DemoKKKrat Party is moving further away from the "middle" position </a>most voters have on a wide, wide range of issues and becoming more wedded than ever to the college educated minority. But don't tell that to ex-CIA analyst, now senator Elissa Slotmachine Slotkin, who <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/04/24/slotkin-has-a-war-plan-to-beat-trump-dont-be-weak-and-woke-00308176" target="_blank">wants the DemoKKKrats to get some "alpha energy." </a>Sorry Slotmachine. That's hard to do when you're givin' 'em testosterone blockers.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) This author argues<a href="https://pjmedia.com/marktapscott/2025/04/26/bidens-expansions-doomed-social-security-medicaid-shows-lefts-cloward-piven-strategy-still-strong-n4939240" target="_blank"> that the Cloward-Piven strategy failed. </a>I would argue it did far worse than fail for the DemoKKKrats---it sparked a civil war over immigration and spending as exposed by Elon Musk that may have fatally forever wounded DemoKKKrats (as it seems that "good management') has become one of the catch-phrases of DemoKKKrat so-called "moderates" trying to save the party from destruction.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1916872843716944256" target="_blank">Another DemoKKKrat (VA Congressman) Gerry Connally</a> has announced he will retire due to a return to Congress. I wish him good health, and good riddance from Congress.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) Remember the DC helicopter/plane crash? Maybe people<a href="https://x.com/EndWokeness/status/1916537100058472487?t=BYsaxdA9SmBJjWABNZCPZw&s=03" target="_blank"> dropped the woke concerns of that DC crash too soon.</a> Looks like the female pilot ignored warnings from her male co-pilot.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) If my wife is unable to respond, I can't get certain medical help for her because of HIPPA. But <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/04/23/blue-shield-of-california-shared-the-private-health-data-of-millions-with-google-for-years/" target="_blank">Blue Shield in Kollyfornia shared health data of millions of people with Google for years</a>.</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) says he wants <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/building-7-controlled-demolition-republican-senator-plans-shock-911-hearings-says-my-eyes?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=4606" target="_blank">to investigate the collapse of Building 7 on 9/11</a>, saying it may have been "controlled demolition."</p><p><br /> </p><p>12) Washington State has become the<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/washington-1st-state-to-recognize-islamic-holidays-as-state-holidays" target="_blank"> first state to recognize Islamic holidays</a> as state holidays.</p><p><br /> </p><p>13) Imagine that. Dinobernie, who was around when the Flintstones were mere babes, says <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2025/04/27/bernie-sanders-democrats-lack-vision-for-the-future/" target="_blank">the DemoKKKrats have "no vision" for the future.</a> Yeah, like socialism Dinobernie? That fine economic system that killed millions and enslaved millions more? Go back to your third damn house. Meanwhile, Scott Pressler issued a warning note that for the <a href="https://x.com/ScottPresler/status/1916851582450241561" target="_blank">first time in years the DemoKKKrats out-registered Republicans in Pennsylvania by 1,000.</a> Seth Keshel ("Captain K's Corner on Substack) doesn't think this is significant, and thinks it's the result of a little voter roll purging and local election registration drives.</p><p><br /> </p><p>14) NARAL, the National Baal-Worshipping League of Maloch-lovers<a href="https://catholicvote.org/political-ads-shield-planned-parenthood-public-scrutiny-mounts-safety/" target="_blank">, is running ads trying to shield Planned Murderhood from public perceptions</a> that it is the modern-day equivalent of an Aztec Temple. Maybe that's because <a href="https://www.liveaction.org/news/missouri-court-appeals-planned-parenthood-documents/" target="_blank">the Missouri appeals court ordered Planned Murderhood to hand over documents to the state AG.</a> Oh and Planned Murderhood is <a href="https://www.sltrib.com/news/politics/2025/04/22/utah-clinics-close-after-trump/" target="_blank">closing two Utah clinics </a>after losing federal funding. Aztec witchdoctors greatly disappointed. By the way, this should tell you that without fed gubment funding, maybe abortion ain't all as popular as it's made out to be.</p><p><br /> </p><p>15) The USNavy has introduced a <a href="https://indiandefencereview.com/us-unveils-worlds-first-a-44-ton-ai-driven-warship-and-it-can-hit-1150-miles-without-stopping/" target="_blank">50 mph autonomous warship capable of a 1,000 range without stopping.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>16) An apparently mentally-challenged woman<a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/04/last-dance-st-louis-woman-twerking-roof-cadillac/" target="_blank"> was twerking on the top of a Cadillac when she fell off an was run over by a truck</a>. Well, the truck driver was probably a fan of the waltz.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>17) Oops. <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1916503470640636376" target="_blank">Looks like deportations are popular, by a 12 point margin.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>18) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/nearly-800-illegal-immigrants-arrested-in-florida-in-4-days-ice-says-5848252?utm_source=Goodevening&src_src=Goodevening&utm_campaign=gv-2025-04-27&src_cmp=gv-2025-04-27&utm_medium=email&est=fCUqWZELwsNbL8IT6%2BRh%2Fvx0kuOBpDlXh51WQIULT8%2FlV7FgQjWcObYke7J%2BbzUyxvYml7%2FW" target="_blank">ICE arrested nearly 800 illegal criminal invaders</a> in just a few days in Flordia.

"Oh, but they all just come here to work."</p><p><br /> </p><p>21) How <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/how-trump-sealed-the-border-in-his-first-100-days?utm_medium=email&utm_source=cnemail&seyid=66183" target="_blank">Trump sealed he border in 100 days.</a> This is a 98% drop from Rutabaga.</p><p><br /> </p><p>22) The White House lawn now is <a href="https://rumble.com/v6some7-white-house-lawn-lined-with-posters-displaying-illegal-immigrants-mugshots.html" target="_blank">lined with posters of mugshots of the illegal criminal invaders.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>23) For the first time in 40 years, <a href="https://www.christianitytoday.com/2025/04/christian-medical-school-opens-belmont-university/" target="_blank">a Christian medical school has opened up. </a>Previously they were viewed as "unscientific." You know, til all the doctors told us the China Virus vax was ok and that they couldn't define a woman.</p><p><br /> </p><p>24) Beautiful. This and money are the Achilles heels of universities: <a href="https://amgreatness.com/2025/04/24/morning-greatness-trump-targets-university-dei-with-executive-order-on-accreditation/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=65450" target="_blank">Trump threatens accreditation if there is DEI/woke institutionalism.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>25) I spoke of private schooling and homeschooling above.

      <title>Today&apos;s News, April 19-21, 2025 (Happy Birthday to me!)</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/confidence-congressional-democrats-hits-all-time-low-new-poll" target="_blank">Public confidence in DemoKKKrat leadership has tanked</a> to the levels of analwarts (25% approve). Rs are only at 39%, but that's still a whopping 14-point lead. Meanwhile, top<a href="https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2025/04/19/clyburn-we-have-a-good-message-the-problem-is-most-media-not-like-msnbc-is/" target="_blank"> DemoKKKrat "leaders" continue to look like a fusion of Barney Fife and Ahmed the Dead Terrorist</a>, as James "Van" Clyburn insists that the DemoKKKrats have the right "message" but it just isn't getting out. Oh, Van, your whole problem is that your message IS getting out: you hate America, you hate white people (especially men), you hate life, and you hate God. Message received. Meanwhile, former Speaker <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2025/04/19/mccarthy-predicts-democrat-civil-war-with-aoc-bernie-against-biden-harris-pelosi-schumer-jeffries/" target="_blank">Kevin McCarthy predicts a DemoKKKrat "civil war"</a> over people like AOC and Dinobernie. This is what scuttles myi biscuits: I said in JUNE OF LAST YEAR---hell, I wrote about it ad nauseum---that the DemoKKKrats faced not one, not two, but THREE "civil wars" and they couldn't avoid any of them. But it's NOT over people. It's over the inevitable end-results of their policies, and NONE of them, no matter which way they go, are good. Internally <a href="https://x.com/joma_gc/status/1914071466091348396" target="_blank">they are falling apart, with insiders moving to ditch Lil' Hitler,</a> David Hogg, for going rogue.</p><p><br /> </p><p>(Lil Hitler: What a Scamp! <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-axJTzj0VU" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-axJTzj0VU</a> )</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Meanwhile, <a href="https://x.com/IAPolls2022/status/1914300946525348343" target="_blank">Trump's approval holds at 52%</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>3) We all knew Rutabaga was doing this, but <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/tulsi-gabbard-exposes-alarming-biden-era-domestic-terrorism-strategy?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=4554" target="_blank">DNI Tulsi Gabbard has exposed the details of a widespread "domestic terrorism" program</a> laid out by Rutabaga's evil team. The amazing thing is, the only domestic terrorists in America are the DemoKKKrats. Meanwhile, first with the book <i>Fight</i>, and now <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/furious-biden-90927/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">with a Zero strategist</a> weighing in, the Party of Evil is blasting Rutabaga and his admin for concealing his cognitive decline. Conceal what? Everyone in the nation knew Rutabaga was a pantsfilled, puddingeating, stumbling demented pervert in 2019.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) DemoKKKrats <a href="https://x.com/Five_Starrr/status/1913618816157831311" target="_blank">continue to lose ground in North Carolina,</a> now down to a lead of only 25,000 (d0wn from 30,000 a month ago and down from 175,000 a year ago). Meanwhile in ACTIVE VOTERS, the GOP leads now by 80,000.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) A woke Karen, Col. Sheyla Baez, who refused to put of the pictures of the new President, Vice President, and SecDef,<a href="https://x.com/rightanglenews/status/1913926018475192378?s=46&t=oXM3QUNDayEotvdo1W-zQA" target="_blank"> has been suspended as commander of Ft. McCoy.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>6) A <a href="https://www.fox4news.com/news/denton-co-commissioner-bobbie-mitchell-injured-husband-dies-stabbing" target="_blank">Denton County, Texas, commissioner was stabbed and her husband killed</a> by their grandson.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Thank you sir may we have another! <a href="https://americafirstreport.com/leaked-hhs-budget-slashes-40-billion-axes-head-start-liheap-programs/" target="_blank">HHS will slash $40 billion from its budget.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>8) The Supes, in the middle of the night, <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/04/19/revealed-truth-about-overnight-7-2-supreme-court/" target="_blank">ordered President Trump to halt all deportations</a>. Whether this was so they could gather themselves for a larger group of pending 3-case decisions, or whether it was stupidity, Justice Alito issued a scorching dissent. The Court heard nothing from the administration, nor did it refer to previous cases. Jeff Childers, a lawyer, thinks <a href="https://substack.com/home/post/p-161803117" target="_blank">Trump is building a long case of having Congress on a Continuing Resolution pass a law suspending the writ of <i>habeus corpus</i></a><i> </i>(which has been done before). Childers argues that Trump is painting the Supes into a corner. Either get on board defending the country against an invasion, or become irrelevant.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) A DemoKKKrat strategist is <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/dem-out-90934/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">warning Dems not to align with the deported gangbanger.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>10) Well, this is embarrassing. <a href="https://x.com/johnbasham/status/1913710820359635259" target="_blank">A New Mexico judge had to resign when a Tren de Aragua illegal criminal alien was found at his home</a>. What, doing a job an American judge wouldn't do?</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/margarita-gate-sen-chris-van-hollen-slams-efforts/story?id=120975361" target="_blank">This is how bad the optics were for Maryland Sen. Van Hollen</a> by sharing margaritas with a gangbanger in El Salvadore. Now, he is desperately trying to change the optics, and the press naturally added a "gate" to the word Margarita. i told you at the time this was a terrible optic for the open-borders/terrorist crowd.</p><p><br /> </p><p>12) Tennessee has passed a bill <a href="https://istandforfreedom.com/tennessee-illegal-immigrants-bill/?utm_source=actengage&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">allowing ordinary citizens to sue NGOs for damages by illegal criminal aliens they assisted</a> in bringing in.</p><p><br /> </p><p>13) Benghazi-by-the-Lake (Chicago) <a href="https://cwbchicago.com/2025/04/chicagos-sanctuary-city-policy-causes-harm-to-other-states-23-attorneys-general-say-in-letter-seeking-to-have-policy-struck-down.html" target="_blank">is the target of a suit by 23 AGs because its "Sanctuary Cities" policies are hurting other states</a>, not to mention in defiance of federal law.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>14) The former Boy Scouts, Scouting America, saw its <a href="https://www.eastidahonews.com/2025/04/five-years-after-lds-depature-scouting-stakeholders-discuss-ways-to-increase-membership/" target="_blank">Grand Teton Council lose 95% of its members</a> when the LDS/Mormon church pulled out due to the woke nature of the Boy Scouts and approval of homosexuality.</p><p><br /> </p><p>15) Despite the people such as Beth Moore, <a href="https://www.graphsaboutreligion.com/p/2024-election-post-mortem-evangelicals?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1561197&post_id=160538781&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Trump gained 5% more with evangelicals in 2024 over 2020, </a>and among those evangelicals who went to church regularly, he netted 90%. Meanwhile, he lost NO ground among those non-attendees.</p><p><br /> </p><p>16) In the private sector when sales are down and the number of customers shrinks, a business will cut work force. Not with eddy-cation. Nope, with <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/baltimore-schools-hiring-like-crazy-as-enrollment-plummets-scores-stay-dismal" target="_blank">enrollments down and test scores declining Baltimore Public Schools is going on a hiring spree.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ECONOMIC NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>17) A <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/business/fed-approves-capital-one-discover-merger-to-create-8th-largest-us-bank-5844383" target="_blank">merger between Capital One (What's in Their Wallet?) and Discover </a>has been approved. Great. Another big bank.</p><p><br /> </p><p>18) <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcVygK4C0UQ" target="_blank">The San Francisco Centre mall</a> is now a ghost town, nearly empty.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>19) USAID funding cuts <a href="https://www.rte.ie/news/2025/0419/1508432-us-aid-cuts/" target="_blank">have "massive" impact on Irish NGOs</a>. Say what? Why are the Irish dependent on American aid?</p><p><br /> </p><p>20) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/pope-francis-dies-aged-88-after-suffering-long-illness-5844965?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-04-21-1&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-04-21-1&utm_medium=email&est=MYn3LSpJN%2BtBwaR8u5080rWb%2BfbwptCnLx8buGKoi2LtBecUdKSvQFM4ZGwzcTbvH5vnCKg%3D" target="_blank">Pope Francis</a>, the most anti-Christian/anti-faith Pope since the Middle Ages, has died.</p><p><br /> </p><p>21) A <a href="https://nos.nl/artikel/2564139-schip-vliegt-in-brand-in-congo-zeker-148-mensen-omgekomen" target="_blank">ship caught fire in the Congo River, leaving 148 dead.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>22) The<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/pentagon-to-wind-back-us-troop-footprint-in-syria-5844418" target="_blank"> US is withdawing military troops from Syria,</a> citing the death of ISIS.</p><p><br /> </p><p>23) Now apparently <a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/04/uk-edge-after-mystery-drones-spotted-king-charles/" target="_blank">King Chuck's residence is full of drone</a>s.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/confidence-congressional-democrats-hits-all-time-low-new-poll" target="_blank">Public confidence in DemoKKKrat leadership has tanked</a> to the levels of analwarts (25% approve). Rs are only at 39%, but that's still a whopping 14-point lead. Meanwhile, top<a href="https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2025/04/19/clyburn-we-have-a-good-message-the-problem-is-most-media-not-like-msnbc-is/" target="_blank"> DemoKKKrat "leaders" continue to look like a fusion of Barney Fife and Ahmed the Dead Terrorist</a>, as James "Van" Clyburn insists that the DemoKKKrats have the right "message" but it just isn't getting out. Oh, Van, your whole problem is that your message IS getting out: you hate America, you hate white people (especially men), you hate life, and you hate God. Message received. Meanwhile, former Speaker <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2025/04/19/mccarthy-predicts-democrat-civil-war-with-aoc-bernie-against-biden-harris-pelosi-schumer-jeffries/" target="_blank">Kevin McCarthy predicts a DemoKKKrat "civil war"</a> over people like AOC and Dinobernie. This is what scuttles myi biscuits: I said in JUNE OF LAST YEAR---hell, I wrote about it ad nauseum---that the DemoKKKrats faced not one, not two, but THREE "civil wars" and they couldn't avoid any of them. But it's NOT over people. It's over the inevitable end-results of their policies, and NONE of them, no matter which way they go, are good. Internally <a href="https://x.com/joma_gc/status/1914071466091348396" target="_blank">they are falling apart, with insiders moving to ditch Lil' Hitler,</a> David Hogg, for going rogue.</p><p><br /> </p><p>(Lil Hitler: What a Scamp! <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-axJTzj0VU" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-axJTzj0VU</a> )</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Meanwhile, <a href="https://x.com/IAPolls2022/status/1914300946525348343" target="_blank">Trump's approval holds at 52%</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>3) We all knew Rutabaga was doing this, but <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/tulsi-gabbard-exposes-alarming-biden-era-domestic-terrorism-strategy?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=4554" target="_blank">DNI Tulsi Gabbard has exposed the details of a widespread "domestic terrorism" program</a> laid out by Rutabaga's evil team. The amazing thing is, the only domestic terrorists in America are the DemoKKKrats. Meanwhile, first with the book <i>Fight</i>, and now <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/furious-biden-90927/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">with a Zero strategist</a> weighing in, the Party of Evil is blasting Rutabaga and his admin for concealing his cognitive decline. Conceal what? Everyone in the nation knew Rutabaga was a pantsfilled, puddingeating, stumbling demented pervert in 2019.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) DemoKKKrats <a href="https://x.com/Five_Starrr/status/1913618816157831311" target="_blank">continue to lose ground in North Carolina,</a> now down to a lead of only 25,000 (d0wn from 30,000 a month ago and down from 175,000 a year ago). Meanwhile in ACTIVE VOTERS, the GOP leads now by 80,000.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) A woke Karen, Col. Sheyla Baez, who refused to put of the pictures of the new President, Vice President, and SecDef,<a href="https://x.com/rightanglenews/status/1913926018475192378?s=46&t=oXM3QUNDayEotvdo1W-zQA" target="_blank"> has been suspended as commander of Ft. McCoy.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>6) A <a href="https://www.fox4news.com/news/denton-co-commissioner-bobbie-mitchell-injured-husband-dies-stabbing" target="_blank">Denton County, Texas, commissioner was stabbed and her husband killed</a> by their grandson.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Thank you sir may we have another! <a href="https://americafirstreport.com/leaked-hhs-budget-slashes-40-billion-axes-head-start-liheap-programs/" target="_blank">HHS will slash $40 billion from its budget.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>8) The Supes, in the middle of the night, <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/04/19/revealed-truth-about-overnight-7-2-supreme-court/" target="_blank">ordered President Trump to halt all deportations</a>. Whether this was so they could gather themselves for a larger group of pending 3-case decisions, or whether it was stupidity, Justice Alito issued a scorching dissent. The Court heard nothing from the administration, nor did it refer to previous cases. Jeff Childers, a lawyer, thinks <a href="https://substack.com/home/post/p-161803117" target="_blank">Trump is building a long case of having Congress on a Continuing Resolution pass a law suspending the writ of <i>habeus corpus</i></a><i> </i>(which has been done before). Childers argues that Trump is painting the Supes into a corner. Either get on board defending the country against an invasion, or become irrelevant.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) A DemoKKKrat strategist is <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/dem-out-90934/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">warning Dems not to align with the deported gangbanger.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>10) Well, this is embarrassing. <a href="https://x.com/johnbasham/status/1913710820359635259" target="_blank">A New Mexico judge had to resign when a Tren de Aragua illegal criminal alien was found at his home</a>. What, doing a job an American judge wouldn't do?</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/margarita-gate-sen-chris-van-hollen-slams-efforts/story?id=120975361" target="_blank">This is how bad the optics were for Maryland Sen. Van Hollen</a> by sharing margaritas with a gangbanger in El Salvadore. Now, he is desperately trying to change the optics, and the press naturally added a "gate" to the word Margarita. i told you at the time this was a terrible optic for the open-borders/terrorist crowd.</p><p><br /> </p><p>12) Tennessee has passed a bill <a href="https://istandforfreedom.com/tennessee-illegal-immigrants-bill/?utm_source=actengage&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">allowing ordinary citizens to sue NGOs for damages by illegal criminal aliens they assisted</a> in bringing in.</p><p><br /> </p><p>13) Benghazi-by-the-Lake (Chicago) <a href="https://cwbchicago.com/2025/04/chicagos-sanctuary-city-policy-causes-harm-to-other-states-23-attorneys-general-say-in-letter-seeking-to-have-policy-struck-down.html" target="_blank">is the target of a suit by 23 AGs because its "Sanctuary Cities" policies are hurting other states</a>, not to mention in defiance of federal law.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>14) The former Boy Scouts, Scouting America, saw its <a href="https://www.eastidahonews.com/2025/04/five-years-after-lds-depature-scouting-stakeholders-discuss-ways-to-increase-membership/" target="_blank">Grand Teton Council lose 95% of its members</a> when the LDS/Mormon church pulled out due to the woke nature of the Boy Scouts and approval of homosexuality.</p><p><br /> </p><p>15) Despite the people such as Beth Moore, <a href="https://www.graphsaboutreligion.com/p/2024-election-post-mortem-evangelicals?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1561197&post_id=160538781&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Trump gained 5% more with evangelicals in 2024 over 2020, </a>and among those evangelicals who went to church regularly, he netted 90%. Meanwhile, he lost NO ground among those non-attendees.</p><p><br /> </p><p>16) In the private sector when sales are down and the number of customers shrinks, a business will cut work force. Not with eddy-cation. Nope, with <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/baltimore-schools-hiring-like-crazy-as-enrollment-plummets-scores-stay-dismal" target="_blank">enrollments down and test scores declining Baltimore Public Schools is going on a hiring spree.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ECONOMIC NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>17) A <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/business/fed-approves-capital-one-discover-merger-to-create-8th-largest-us-bank-5844383" target="_blank">merger between Capital One (What's in Their Wallet?) and Discover </a>has been approved. Great. Another big bank.</p><p><br /> </p><p>18) <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcVygK4C0UQ" target="_blank">The San Francisco Centre mall</a> is now a ghost town, nearly empty.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>19) USAID funding cuts <a href="https://www.rte.ie/news/2025/0419/1508432-us-aid-cuts/" target="_blank">have "massive" impact on Irish NGOs</a>. Say what? Why are the Irish dependent on American aid?</p><p><br /> </p><p>20) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/pope-francis-dies-aged-88-after-suffering-long-illness-5844965?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-04-21-1&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-04-21-1&utm_medium=email&est=MYn3LSpJN%2BtBwaR8u5080rWb%2BfbwptCnLx8buGKoi2LtBecUdKSvQFM4ZGwzcTbvH5vnCKg%3D" target="_blank">Pope Francis</a>, the most anti-Christian/anti-faith Pope since the Middle Ages, has died.</p><p><br /> </p><p>21) A <a href="https://nos.nl/artikel/2564139-schip-vliegt-in-brand-in-congo-zeker-148-mensen-omgekomen" target="_blank">ship caught fire in the Congo River, leaving 148 dead.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>22) The<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/pentagon-to-wind-back-us-troop-footprint-in-syria-5844418" target="_blank"> US is withdawing military troops from Syria,</a> citing the death of ISIS.</p><p><br /> </p><p>23) Now apparently <a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/04/uk-edge-after-mystery-drones-spotted-king-charles/" target="_blank">King Chuck's residence is full of drone</a>s.

The rebel leader/president says it is and he wants the U.S. to buy it, declare independence, then take control of the mine.</p><p><br /> </p><p>26) Chy-na has now <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2025/04/21/china-expels-missionaries-treating-christianity-as-existential-threat-to-totalitarianism/" target="_blank">expelled all missionaries</a> and is treating Christianity as an existential threat.</p><p><br /> </p><p>27) <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/04/19/world-news/north-korea-building-its-biggest-warship-ever-satellite-images-suggest/" target="_blank">North Korea is building its biggest warship ever,</a> the Snks-so-Fst.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>28) Grey haired <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/04/18/us-news/judge-nixes-grey-ing-sean-diddy-combs-bid-to-delay-may-sex-trafficking-trial/" target="_blank">Sean P-Diddley Combs loses bid to delay May trial</a>.

I cannot abide headlines such as "prepared to," "poised to," etc. But when the <a href="https://www.supremecourt.gov/orders/courtorders/041725zr1_4gd5.pdf" target="_blank">Supes put this lineup on their docket, it's pretty clear they are "about to" make a major ruling by consolidating three of the cases </a>challenging Trump into a single one, with hearings to begin post haste.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) President Trump <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1912842114070704512?t=ognMMzS51cbX7pQOZSoMKQ&s=03" target="_blank">is killing it among da youts, particularly 18-29 (+16).</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>3) <a href="https://www.thefp.com/p/joe-biden-made-600-grants-to-stop-disinformation-misinformation-donald-trump-cancels-awards?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Rutabaga had over 600 funded propaganda (anti-"disinformation") programs. </a>Trump is ripping these up by the roots.</p><p>4) What is it with these "Maryland men?" The "Maryland Man" Kilmar Garcia <a href="https://www.nysun.com/article/maryland-senator-blocked-by-salvadoran-government-from-meeting-with-kilmar-abrego-garcia?lctg=1679237530&sha=zsha256-9bc7bd017130ba7722be10bf431ad7791bb497693bd388537d4bedccfc88b1e9&md5=zmd5-512b78abce70f0e46cd72c4f50bfd3d1&utm_source=MG&utm_medium=email-newsletter&utm_campaign=Morning%20Sun%20%202025-04-17" target="_blank">was a criminal</a> despite being here illegally as DOJ documents show.

He should get the Garcia treatment. And you want to see how Americans react to the poor "Maryland Man?" <a href="https://x.com/TVNewsNow/status/1912853722452939158?t=23NHDM_9bJ8eP5hqiR_7DA&s=03" target="_blank">56% now support booting out ALL illegal immigrants.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>5) <a href="https://blackmon.substack.com/p/big-wind-is-decimating-americas-golden?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=712558&post_id=161527584&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Big Wind is decimating the Golden Eagle population</a>, down to an estimated 30,000 from 80,000 since the wind farms started. A stop-wind-farming order should go out now from the Fish and Game, as two new studies show eagle decimation is due to Big Wind. <a href="https://blackmon.substack.com/p/winning-burgum-orders-halt-to-big?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbe322298-254c-4345-8347-78ebbe69ba61_867x741.png&open=false" target="_blank">HENCE! Interior Secretary Doug Burgham ordered all work halted on New York's Empire Wind project</a> to the howls from NY Gov. Hock-a-lugie on the grounds of "insufficient research" before the permit was issued. Indeed, NONE of these researched the impact on whales or eagles.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Indiana's governor Mike Braun <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/health/kennedy-applauds-visionary-indiana-governors-maha-executive-orders?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">implemented a host of MAHA order</a>s, including banning sugary sodas from items that can be purchased by food stamps.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Now, no one knows what he means but the White House Director of Science & Technology Policy said that <a href="https://x.com/GeneralMCNews/status/1912528803856785813" target="_blank">we are capable of "manipulating time and space." </a>What, like "Stargate" or "Endgame" manipulating??</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Evil judge <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/judge-blocks-epa-from-terminating-part-of-20-billion-biden-era-climate-grants-5843299?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">Chutkin again steps in to try to block ending EPA grants.</a> Must be horrible to go through life brain dead with a name that sounds like a disease: "I've got Chukins in my kidneys." And speaking of brain dead, <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/04/17/joe-biden-struggling-book-gigs-300-per-speech/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">Rutabaga is struggling to book speaking gigs</a>. His price compared to previous presidents is very low, $300,000. Back in the 80s and early 90s, Ronald Reagan was getting $2 million. Course, he actually accomplished something, winning the Cold War.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) President <a href="https://x.com/LeadingReport/status/1912627254527684717" target="_blank">Trump proposes cutting foreign aid by 75% and eliminating funding for NATO, the UN, and other "international organizations</a>." Hmm. I'd say, cut 100%.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) More <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/top-pentagon-officials-placed-on-leave-in-probe-of-unauthorized-disclosures-5842749?utm_source=Goodevening&src_src=Goodevening&utm_campaign=gv-2025-04-16&src_cmp=gv-2025-04-16&utm_medium=email&est=ee%2FlozWFoMnT0kbqBFKxhwW3azNhgXIUCyQAzfs5TerEbCufvyp5a5vB0dkFnjP9HF4CEcWQ" target="_blank">Pentagon leakers</a> placed on leave.</p><p>11) President Trump has <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/04/extension-of-hiring-freeze/" target="_blank">extended the federal hiring freeze</a>. Good. Extend it for three more years. Oh, and<a href="https://nypost.com/2025/04/18/us-news/irs-workers-only-had-to-show-up-to-work-once-a-week-in-person-before-president-trump-took-over/" target="_blank"> IRS employees only had to show up once a month at the office before Trump took over</a>. Dunno, maybe we should be grateful?</p><p><br /> </p><p>12) The Trump Administration <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/04/18/trump-administration-releases-10000-pages-assassination-rfk/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">has released 10,000 pages of RFK assassination material.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>13) The <a href="https://www.independentsentinel.com/teen-who-planned-to-kill-the-president-communicated-with-ukrainians-someone-in-russia/" target="_blank">Wisconsin yout who wanted to kill President Trump</a> was communicating with the Ukes and "someone in Russia." Who? Like John Brennanski?</p><p><br /> </p><p>14) Dem Fundraiser ActBlue is in trouble, <a href="https://theamericantribune.com/massive-dem-fundraiser-already-caught-in-alleged-money-laundering-hit-with-potential-terror-financing-investigation-as-scrutiny-intensifies/" target="_blank">with links to terror organizations</a>. Well, I have been saying that the DemoKKKrat Party needs to be banned for being a terrorist org just like the Nazis in Germany.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>15) File under pigs are flying and the Dallas Cowboys are about to win a Super Bowl! Justice . . . wait for it . . . <a href="https://x.com/MilaLovesJoe/status/1913011704050618548" target="_blank">KAGAN has rejected an emergency appeal by illegal criminal aliens,</a> clearing the way for their deportation. This is one of the reasons you're not seeing "millions" deported. Team Trump has to go through all of these preliminary steps to make it clear there will be no appeals.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>16) This is great. The Trump admin <a href="https://x.com/BenTelAviv/status/1912667205642170543/photo/1" target="_blank">is really putting Harvard into that testicle-squeezing device</a>. Now they cannot enroll foreign students until/unless they provide detailed records of said students' violence and misconduct on campus. And Harvard's typical lib response? Death. <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/harvard-will-euthanize-lab-animals-after-trump-funding-cuts/" target="_blank">Harvard says it will kill lab animals if there isn't any money.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>17) Over <a href="https://www.graphsaboutreligion.com/p/belief-in-an-afterlife-is-increasing?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1561197&post_id=158861295&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">80% of Americans believe in life after death</a>, and that number is slightly growing.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ECONOMIC NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>18) <a href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/americans-love-nukes?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=239058&post_id=161510450&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Americans love nukes</a>: some 61% strongly or somewhat favor nuke energy now.</p><p><br /> </p><p>19) Is this the real economic confidence index? <a href="https://wolfstreet.com/2025/04/16/drunken-sailors-back-in-splurge-mode-retail-sales-surge-even-at-restaurants-bars-not-part-of-frontrunning-tariffs/" target="_blank">Spending is up, including at restaurants and bars.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>20) Maybe I"m nuts, maybe my non-existent economic training was wrong, but when I <a href="https://wolfstreet.com/2025/04/16/foreign-investors-massively-bought-us-treasury-securities-in-february-china-japan-canada-euro-area-uk-financial-centers-taiwan-india-even-brazil/" target="_blank">see the world beating a path to America's door to hold our Treasuries</a>, I think, "Gee, we must be in pretty darn good shape that the world wants to invest here."</p><p><br /> </p><p>21) This is big: the <a href="https://www.statnews.com/2025/04/17/fda-advisory-panels-pharma-industry-employees-patients-caregivers/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">FDA says that reps of Big Pharma will no longer be allowed to sit on advisory boards</a>, and will be replaced by patients and caregivers.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>22) Both <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/us-ready-abandon-efforts-broker-russia-ukraine-peace-deal-rubio-says-2025-04-18/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">SecState Rubio and President Trump are about to throw in the towel on Uke peace,</a> as neither side at present wants it. It's the Israel/Pale thing all over again.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>ENTERTAINMENT NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>23) Megyn Kelly <a href="https://slaynews.com/news/megyn-kelly-battling-vaids-covid-shot-really-regret-vaccine/" target="_blank">discusses her "vax-induced-AIDs" </a>and wishes she never took the vax.</p><p><br /> </p><p>24) Oh goodie.

Instead of the "Tar Heels," maybe they can change the team names to the "Vaxxes."</p><p><br /> </p><p>28) The White House updated the CDC website and linked to a site that states that <a href="https://x.com/BRICSinfo/status/1913233860751503671" target="_blank">the China Virus started, well, in Chy'na.</a> Also, unlike the Rutabaga administration, the new commissioner says<a href="https://x.com/Holden_Culotta/status/1913003577758343384?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> his job at the FDA is "delivering cures" and healthy foods</a>, not as the Rutabaga administration did, "fighting [so called] disinformation."</p><p><br /> </p><p>29) Not good at all. The <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/who-announces-pandemic-agreement-years-after-covid-19-post-5842826?utm_source=Goodevening&src_src=Goodevening&utm_campaign=gv-2025-04-17&src_cmp=gv-2025-04-17&utm_medium=email&est=eD5LRKUM4uP0BlODYay%2By8NNo4DDEwPHwTAT4nAewzS2NSMRnbHynFDXkwNQkL2SaAMQumNP" target="_blank">bad WHO (not to be confused with the good Who) has reached a global pandemic treaty</a>. No thanks. I'm pretty sure President Trump and Bobby Kennedy will tell the bad WHO to stick it in one of the good Who's guitar sockets.</p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_4231e904c574466fa66d8f1ca40b1427~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_700,h_446,al_c,lg_1,q_80,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_4231e904c574466fa66d8f1ca40b1427~mv2.jpg" alt="" /><p><br /> </p><p>30) <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/clustered-friday-april-18-2025-c?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=161613650&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Jeff Childers in his "Coffee and Covid" has an exceptional section</a> on the explosion in a wide variety of cancers----cancers they cannot pin on asbestos or some chemical company's leak. As he writes, "The problem is that, post-pandemic, the potential “polluter” isn’t some marginal chemical company. It’s a federally coordinated pharmaceutical rollout backed by near-universal media support, unconstitutionally mandated by governments, shielded from civil and criminal liability, and glorified by editorials, white-coated pretenders, and blue-checked Twitter threads." (In other words, the vax and the entire DNA-altering drug regimen of the China Virus).</p><p><br /> </p><h3>AND FINALLY . . .</h3><p><br /> </p><p>This is good Friday and on Sunday we celebrate the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, Who changed all of human history.

His price compared to previous presidents is very low, $300,000. Back in the 80s and early 90s, Ronald Reagan was getting $2 million.

      <itunes:summary>In a sweeping update spanning politics, culture, and global affairs, the Supreme Court is fast-tracking a consolidated Trump case, while Trump gains traction among younger voters and tears into federal programs and international aid. Controversies swirl around illegal immigration, with rising public support for mass deportations, and &quot;Big Wind&quot; faces backlash over environmental impacts. The Trump administration is aggressively reshaping policies, from slashing foreign aid to halting wind projects and limiting Big Pharma&apos;s influence at the FDA. Cultural shifts include tighter scrutiny on universities like Harvard, a national embrace of nuclear energy, and a major FDA shake-up. Internationally, the U.S. signals cooling interest in Ukraine peace efforts, and a WHO pandemic treaty raises alarm. Meanwhile, new data challenge vaccine narratives, and lab leaks reignite concerns. Finally, Easter is invoked as a spiritual call to reflection and faith in Jesus Christ.</itunes:summary>

There go 2/3 of the administrators), and whistleblower protections.</p><p><br /> </p><p>17) Perhaps attuned to the fact that HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy will get to this next, the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/13/magazine/adhd-medication-treatment-research.html?unlocked_article_code=1._U4.6wWr.J_E2wql5ouHN&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"><i>New York Slimes</i> asks, "Have we been thinking about A.D.H.D.

      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1)) President Trump is<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-in-excellent-health-white-house-doctor-says-following-annual-checkup-5841211?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-04-14&src_cmp=mb-2025-04-14&utm_medium=email&est=4Q2ZEY4dl8%2Fiio9Bw5kkljMJxrx1yoAUJtkocb44Pa5sSyljcIAII3mIDjVJG3p%2B9BSQ2qM%3D" target="_blank"> in excellent health </a>says his annual physical and has lost 20 pounds.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) First Buttplugs, then Witless Protection, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/10/politics/michigan-senate-race-democrats-mcdonald-rivet/index.html" target="_blank">now another potentially solid DemoKKKrat U.S. senate candidate in MI has bowed out</a>. This seat may be gettable.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) As Jeff Childers notes, the administration is moving at light speed on almost every front, finding novel ways of using old, established laws, spinning the world leaders like so many plates, and<a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/reservations-saturday-april-12-2025?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=161178430&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> "completely resetting the historical bar, packing decades of geopolitical maneuvering and domestic policy upheaval into mere weeks."</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Trump had his "perfect" medical exam and aced the mental test, saying<a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/04/11/president-trump-aces-cognitive-exam-i-wanted-be/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank"> "I wanted to be a little different from Biden."</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>5) A portrait of Zero in the White House <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/04/11/white-house-obama-portrait-replaced-iconic-painting-president/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">has been replaced</a> with the "Fight!" portrait of Trump.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) For now,<a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-administration-says-exclude-electronics-143841789.html" target="_blank"> Trump has exempted cell phones and laptops</a> from the tariffs. Personally, I think this is temporary and a negotiating tool, as several administration people have said over the weekend.. However, always on point, the<a href="https://babylonbee.com/news/apple-warns-china-tariffs-could-impact-child-slave-employment-opportunities" target="_blank"> "Babylon Bee"</a> said that "Apple warns that China Tariffs could Negatively Impact Child Enslavement Opportunities.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) The <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/navy-fires-commanding-officer-command-master-chief-of-expeditionary-security-squadron/ar-AA1CLKml?ocid=winp1taskbar&cvid=7819fa8a560d4eb18786810794d72708&ei=23" target="_blank">U.S. Navy has fired a commander and a master chief of the expeditionary security squadron</a> for "loss of confidence in their abilities to perform their duties."</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) This is a topic that really frosts my spuds. The Pharisitical wing of the GOP--the holier-than-thous who despise Trump because he isn't as pure as David . . . ah, oops, David was an adulterer who sent a man out to be murdered . . . or as pure as James and John . . . oh, wait, the "Sons of Thunder" cuz they were such hell raisers . . . or Moses . . . well, dang, he was a murderer . . . or certainly Paul . . . crap. He supervised the murder of Christians . . . anyway these people can't stand Trump cuz he ain't pure enough. <a href="https://skeshel.substack.com/p/an-open-challenge-to-trump-hating?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=798984&post_id=161181581&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Seth Keshel, in his column, lays them out</a>. Me? I just go with Jesus: (Mark 9:38-41, "Those who are not against us are for us.") But it gets frustrating that the President who has done for the common man, the most for the issue of life, the most to stop human trafficking of anyone since Abraham Lincoln still is reviled by the modern day Pharisees.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) According to CNN's Harry Enten, the question<a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/best-position-ever-cnn-host-reveals-stunning-data-point-dooming-democrats-mace/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank"> "cares about someone like me" in the latest polling </a>shows a tie between the parties, which he says is a major warning sign for the DemoKKKrats.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) Police<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/pennsylvania-gov-shapiros-home-evacuated-after-act-of-arson-police-say-5841252?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-04-14&src_cmp=mb-2025-04-14&utm_medium=email&est=mI6sw1sXj3BrGjr3dnAlNpb%2FkjQ8aQr7m1urhuIhwkEnsqCCFXb4hTu%2FT4cnKetpEetL6WY%3D" target="_blank"> arrested a nutbag who tried to set fire to the PA governor's mansion. </a>Good. Now, where is justice for President Trump with "Baby" Routh?</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) I missed this, but in early March a DemoKKKrat Congressman from CT<a href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/the-gerontocracy-continues-to-hurt?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=239058&post_id=161265336&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> said that between six and a dozen of his colleagues didn't have the "faculties" to do the job</a>." Apparently DemoKKKrat insiders are beginning to get concerned about the fact that the party now only appeals to old, mostly white or single-female-black people on the margins..</p><p><br /> </p><p>12) Typical corrupt DemoKKKrat here, as Boston's douchespigot mayor <a href="https://x.com/Rightanglenews/status/1911772911104327989" target="_blank">Michelle Wu is accused of taking $300,000 from a fundraiser tied to the ChiComs.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>13) <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/scoop-arizona-begin-removing-many-50k-non-citizens-from-voter-rolls-following-lawsuit?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Arizona has begun removing 50,000 illegal, dead, or Martian voters from the rolls. </a>Had that been in place in 2020, Kari Lake would be governor, or in 2022, she would be senator.</p><p><br /> </p><p>14) The FDA will phase out <a href="https://www.statnews.com/pharmalot/2025/04/11/fda-animals-dogs-primates-pharma-biotech-medicines-research-development/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">animal testing with drugs.</a> This follows Lee Zeldin's comment that the EPA would also phase out animal testing at the EPA. <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/14/pfizer-scraps-daily-weight-loss-pill-danuglipron.html" target="_blank">PFizer, meanwhile, has scrapped its weight loss pill</a> after a series of setbacks and a liver injury in a single patient.</p><p><br /> </p><p>15) Speaking of agencies, <a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/report-trump-weighs-plan-to-shutter-controversial-law-enforcement-agency-cmc/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank">Trump is weighing plans to completely eliminate the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms</a>. Good. This was a Prohibition creation brought on by prohibiting a product (booze) that was soon reinstated.</p><p><br /> </p><p>16) Judges still playing games, as a judge <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/appeals-court-allows-layoffs-but-no-dismantling-of-consumer-bureau-5841180?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">allows layoffs but not the total dismantling of the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau</a>. I go news for ya judgie: when there is no one left in the building and the lights are turned off, it doesn't matter if it's "dismantled." It's dead, Jim.</p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_a190593a37d04965ba31542f7642a6e8~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_720,h_544,al_c,lg_1,q_85,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_a190593a37d04965ba31542f7642a6e8~mv2.jpg" alt="" /><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>17) A federal judge <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/us-judge-declines-to-block-immigration-raids-at-churches-5840465?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-04-11-2&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-04-11-2&utm_medium=email&est=AcTbpaiawvcxd6DIGzbhU%2BAfnYfaoZa1z%2BwCGEgW5c5AlgScOX4LbWsAMiYXHayrsKNHPCE%3D" target="_blank">has refused to block immigration raids at churches.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>18) Trump has <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/11/politics/us-mexico-border-federal-land-military-control/index.html?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">authorized the DoD to take control of lands bordering Mexico in Kollyfornia and other states to stop the illegal invaders</a>. Some of this is Injun land.</p><p><br /> </p><p>19) The administration <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/us-strips-benefits-from-thousands-of-criminal-aliens-those-on-terror-watchlist-5840491?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-04-14&src_cmp=mb-2025-04-14&utm_medium=email&est=FwQLdQ0dXziiBhWOFAgBJ06ivg8PJ8CVlyfLE5vPex1hlMuki3W4PLazxayvzGw%2FxpFpYKo%3D" target="_blank">stripped temporary benefits of all kinds</a> from illegal criminal invaders.</p><p><br /> </p><p>20) The DOJ said that <a href="https://amgreatness.com/2025/04/14/morning-greatness-doj-says-court-has-no-authority-to-force-return-on-suspected-ms-13-gang-member/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=63369" target="_blank">courts have no authority over the deported MS-13 member </a>now in an El Salvadoran jail. My opinion, this guy ain't never getting out.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>21) President Trump ditched the so-called "Pride" events and declared a "holy week" <a href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1a01a832-38b2-427a-bbef-5d6f983e6ca7_686x512.png?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">of preparation for the Resurrection Day. </a>But of course, the gigglepickle anti-Trump evangelicals such as Beth Moore would have preferred to have the infested Baal-worshipper Rutabaga in there. By the say, I cannot recall ANY president in my lifetime making such a declarative statement about "Our Lord and Savior," Jesus Christ. Jeff Childers appropriately described Trump's announcements and the events as <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/renewals-monday-april-14-2025-c-and?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=161297899&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">"the electrifying sound of a cultural defibrillator, jolting a flickering national soul back toward life."</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>22) The feds are <a href="https://x.com/tylerkingkade/status/1910784099679359151/photo/1" target="_blank">cutting all education funding to non-complying Maine schools.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>23) This is part II of <a href="https://larrys.substack.com/p/age-of-sureillance-capitalism-ii" target="_blank">my review of a must-read book</a>, Shoshana Zuboff's <i>The Age of Surveillance Capitalism</i>.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1)) President Trump is<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-in-excellent-health-white-house-doctor-says-following-annual-checkup-5841211?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-04-14&src_cmp=mb-2025-04-14&utm_medium=email&est=4Q2ZEY4dl8%2Fiio9Bw5kkljMJxrx1yoAUJtkocb44Pa5sSyljcIAII3mIDjVJG3p%2B9BSQ2qM%3D" target="_blank"> in excellent health </a>says his annual physical and has lost 20 pounds.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) First Buttplugs, then Witless Protection, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/10/politics/michigan-senate-race-democrats-mcdonald-rivet/index.html" target="_blank">now another potentially solid DemoKKKrat U.S. senate candidate in MI has bowed out</a>. This seat may be gettable.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) As Jeff Childers notes, the administration is moving at light speed on almost every front, finding novel ways of using old, established laws, spinning the world leaders like so many plates, and<a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/reservations-saturday-april-12-2025?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=161178430&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> "completely resetting the historical bar, packing decades of geopolitical maneuvering and domestic policy upheaval into mere weeks."</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Trump had his "perfect" medical exam and aced the mental test, saying<a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/04/11/president-trump-aces-cognitive-exam-i-wanted-be/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank"> "I wanted to be a little different from Biden."</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>5) A portrait of Zero in the White House <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/04/11/white-house-obama-portrait-replaced-iconic-painting-president/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">has been replaced</a> with the "Fight!" portrait of Trump.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) For now,<a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-administration-says-exclude-electronics-143841789.html" target="_blank"> Trump has exempted cell phones and laptops</a> from the tariffs. Personally, I think this is temporary and a negotiating tool, as several administration people have said over the weekend.. However, always on point, the<a href="https://babylonbee.com/news/apple-warns-china-tariffs-could-impact-child-slave-employment-opportunities" target="_blank"> "Babylon Bee"</a> said that "Apple warns that China Tariffs could Negatively Impact Child Enslavement Opportunities.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) The <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/navy-fires-commanding-officer-command-master-chief-of-expeditionary-security-squadron/ar-AA1CLKml?ocid=winp1taskbar&cvid=7819fa8a560d4eb18786810794d72708&ei=23" target="_blank">U.S. Navy has fired a commander and a master chief of the expeditionary security squadron</a> for "loss of confidence in their abilities to perform their duties."</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) This is a topic that really frosts my spuds. The Pharisitical wing of the GOP--the holier-than-thous who despise Trump because he isn't as pure as David . . . ah, oops, David was an adulterer who sent a man out to be murdered . . . or as pure as James and John . . . oh, wait, the "Sons of Thunder" cuz they were such hell raisers . . . or Moses . . . well, dang, he was a murderer . . . or certainly Paul . . . crap. He supervised the murder of Christians . . . anyway these people can't stand Trump cuz he ain't pure enough. <a href="https://skeshel.substack.com/p/an-open-challenge-to-trump-hating?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=798984&post_id=161181581&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Seth Keshel, in his column, lays them out</a>. Me? I just go with Jesus: (Mark 9:38-41, "Those who are not against us are for us.") But it gets frustrating that the President who has done for the common man, the most for the issue of life, the most to stop human trafficking of anyone since Abraham Lincoln still is reviled by the modern day Pharisees.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) According to CNN's Harry Enten, the question<a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/best-position-ever-cnn-host-reveals-stunning-data-point-dooming-democrats-mace/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank"> "cares about someone like me" in the latest polling </a>shows a tie between the parties, which he says is a major warning sign for the DemoKKKrats.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) Police<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/pennsylvania-gov-shapiros-home-evacuated-after-act-of-arson-police-say-5841252?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-04-14&src_cmp=mb-2025-04-14&utm_medium=email&est=mI6sw1sXj3BrGjr3dnAlNpb%2FkjQ8aQr7m1urhuIhwkEnsqCCFXb4hTu%2FT4cnKetpEetL6WY%3D" target="_blank"> arrested a nutbag who tried to set fire to the PA governor's mansion. </a>Good. Now, where is justice for President Trump with "Baby" Routh?</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) I missed this, but in early March a DemoKKKrat Congressman from CT<a href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/the-gerontocracy-continues-to-hurt?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=239058&post_id=161265336&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> said that between six and a dozen of his colleagues didn't have the "faculties" to do the job</a>." Apparently DemoKKKrat insiders are beginning to get concerned about the fact that the party now only appeals to old, mostly white or single-female-black people on the margins..</p><p><br /> </p><p>12) Typical corrupt DemoKKKrat here, as Boston's douchespigot mayor <a href="https://x.com/Rightanglenews/status/1911772911104327989" target="_blank">Michelle Wu is accused of taking $300,000 from a fundraiser tied to the ChiComs.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>13) <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/scoop-arizona-begin-removing-many-50k-non-citizens-from-voter-rolls-following-lawsuit?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Arizona has begun removing 50,000 illegal, dead, or Martian voters from the rolls. </a>Had that been in place in 2020, Kari Lake would be governor, or in 2022, she would be senator.</p><p><br /> </p><p>14) The FDA will phase out <a href="https://www.statnews.com/pharmalot/2025/04/11/fda-animals-dogs-primates-pharma-biotech-medicines-research-development/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">animal testing with drugs.</a> This follows Lee Zeldin's comment that the EPA would also phase out animal testing at the EPA. <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/14/pfizer-scraps-daily-weight-loss-pill-danuglipron.html" target="_blank">PFizer, meanwhile, has scrapped its weight loss pill</a> after a series of setbacks and a liver injury in a single patient.</p><p><br /> </p><p>15) Speaking of agencies, <a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/report-trump-weighs-plan-to-shutter-controversial-law-enforcement-agency-cmc/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank">Trump is weighing plans to completely eliminate the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms</a>. Good.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3><br />IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) President Trump paused for 90 days tariffs to be imposed on the rest of the world but raised the tariff on China to 125%. <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/business/us-stock-indexes-skyrocket-following-trumps-tariff-pause-5839376?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">Stocks went crazy with the DOW jumping 8 points and the NASDAQ had its highest one-day gain in history, 12 points.</a> Steve Eisman, who predicted "The Big Short," says <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/man-who-predicted-90717/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">Trump will "pretty much get what he wants."</a> IF, but only if, the countries negotiate successfully, <a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/thousands-of-illegal-aliens-leave-country-voluntarily-as-trump-ramps-up-self-deportation-push-cmc/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank">they will face a 10% across the board tariff.</a> The stiff-necked ChiComs, apparently thinking (correctly) they are facing an Extinction Level Event, raised tariffs an additional 84% earlier, forcing Trump to hike ChiCom tariffs again to 154%. We can do this all night long. 2) Already<a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/04/09/canada-caves-pm-mark-carney-agrees-negotiate-president/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank"> Canada</a> and the <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/eu-pauses-countermeasures-against-us-steel-tariffs-for-90-days-5839662?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">EU</a> have caved. Canada will negotiate asap, while the EU has matched Trump's 90-day pause to work things out. My own view is that they will need a little more pain until we get their minds right.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) The House has <a href="https://x.com/bennyjohnson/status/1910120732941500788" target="_blank">passed a bill limited the scope of useless district court judges like Ballsburger. </a>Not likely to pass the senate, though.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Rutabaga's corrupt administration <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-admin-held-private-talks-beijing-chinese-spy-balloon-ahead-notifying-public-officials-say" target="_blank">held secret talks with the ChiComs</a> over the spy balloon before making the news public or shooting it down. 5) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/in-congressional-testimony-whistleblower-accuses-meta-of-aiding-chinas-censorship-5839443?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-04-10&src_cmp=mb-2025-04-10&utm_medium=email&est=WByY9agaxT1ieE%2BZl3KqhBLVhFT1%2Fkc5NSROx6GZKXh%2FeDjaIfeUUqCbiupm73bB86J%2FmT0%3D" target="_blank">Fascistbook is in heap big trouble again</a> after a whistleblower said she witnessed the company repeatedly undermine American security in dealings with the ChiComs.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) A <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/09/us/politics/trump-executive-orders-law-firm-krebs.html?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">dogspooge named Krebs</a> who was part of the 2020 steal lost his security clearance and now is under investigation for, well, in Trump's words, "treason." Course the <i>New York Times</i> claims he's being investigated for resisting "Trump's lies." and of course the <i>Slimes </i>is a major lying propaganda organ not even worthy of Baghdad Bob, Tokyo Rose, or <i>Izvestia. </i>Another exec order went over <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/04/addressing-risks-from-susman-godfrey/" target="_blank">the election stealing Dominion </a>by targeting its lawyer.

Think about that: there are two empty D seats due to dead DemoKKKrats and to the two new FL reps who voted for it.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) <a href="https://protrumpnews.com/doge-cancels-108-contracts-70m-in-savings/" target="_blank">DOGE continues to cut</a>---another $70 million in contracts---but the House has anemic cuts. Don't know when these guys in Congress are gonna get the message.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) The Senate has<a href="https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2025/04/11/congress/senate-confirms-razin-caine-to-lead-joint-chiefs-00286143" target="_blank"> confirmed Lt.

At least it's not "Raisin" Caine. 10) Someone is running for president, as <a href="https://x.com/bennyjohnson/status/1910342550461784478" target="_blank">MI governor Witless Protection came out in favor of Trump's tariffs</a>.

I personally have a feeing some subs will be involved, too, and that these will likely not use kinetic weapons but energy or EW.</p><p><br /> </p><p>17) This <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/04/09/us-news/suny-professor-took-bribes-in-seedy-cash-to-pass-scheme-and-may-soon-be-studying-the-inside-of-a-jail-cell-police/" target="_blank">SUNY prof was involved in a "cash to pass" scheme</a>.

The House budget has a cut of $1.5 trillion over 10 years. Ok, $1.5 trillion in ONE year? Maybe.</p><p><br /> </p><p>22) President Trump has a <a href="https://x.com/IAPolls2022/status/1910664136679104947" target="_blank">positive rating in 31 states including all swing states except WI.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>23) Thousands of illegal invaders scheduled to be deported<a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/thousands-of-illegal-aliens-leave-country-voluntarily-as-trump-ramps-up-self-deportation-push-cmc/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank"> have chosen to use the "CPB Home" app to self deport</a> </p><p><br /> </p><p>24) In a 9=0 ruling,<a href="https://x.com/sentdefender/status/1910496093324140631" target="_blank"> the Supes said Trump must re-admit Kilmar Garcia</a> because he was wrongly deported.

I like Jason Statham but Sly Stallone's script was slow and predictable and the movie was way too dark.

      <itunes:summary>President Trump dramatically escalated tariffs on China to 154% amid ongoing trade tensions, while pausing tariffs for 90 days on other countries, spurring major stock market gains. Canada and the EU agreed to negotiate, while domestic political moves included controversial judicial reforms, investigations into election fraud and spy incidents, and a surge in firings of federal employees over misconduct. Trump also secured a prisoner swap, gained support for tariffs from political opponents, and saw high approval ratings in 31 states. Border enforcement intensified with self-deportation tech and a judge-mandated readmission ruling. Economic news highlighted a drop in consumer prices, renewed energy policy debates, and major investments from Novartis and the Department of Energy. Cultural tensions continued around religion, trans rights, and university funding, while entertainment saw record-breaking success for films and personal victories for figures like Mel Gibson and Gina Carano. In COVID-related developments, multiple states launched criminal probes into health officials, and Idaho banned medical mandates.</itunes:summary>

      <title>Today&apos;s News, April 8-9, 2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Justice Johnny, seeing the court system slip out of his grasp,<a href="https://x.com/kyledcheney/status/1909332218972881020" target="_blank"> finally stepped in and scotched the court order requiring the return of a dangerous MS-13 toadpoacher. </a>In perhaps an even bigger, 7-2 victory, the <a href="mailto:cidneycardenas@gmail.com" target="_blank">Supes ruled against an order to bring back thousands of federal employees.</a> And yet another victory as an<a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/04/new-appeals-court-allows-doge-workers-access-sensitive/" target="_blank"> appeals court said DOGE can access "sensitive" information.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) The <a href="https://x.com/OcrazioCornPop/status/1909324814978027724" target="_blank">DOJ's sealed motion against would-be Trump killer Ryan "Baby" Routh</a> is so secret even his lawyers can't see it. This suggests involvement by a) Biden, b) FBI, c) SS, or d) Ukraine/foreign actor . . . or any combo therein. <a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/04/doj-reveals-would-be-trump-assassin-ryan-routh/" target="_blank">Leaks show Baby Routh tried to buy a Stinger from Ukraine</a> to take out Trump and discussed his plan with "an operative" in Pennsylvania. So why wasn't he already arrested?</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) The EU's offer of "zero-zero" tariffs is not genuine because of their Value Added Tax and their reluctance to let in consumer goods and food. Thus, Trump says <a href="https://www.politico.eu/article/donald-trump-says-eu-must-buy-350b-of-us-energy-to-get-tariff-relief/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">the EU must commit to buying $350 billion worth of energy </a>before the tariffs come off. Good start. And speaking of energy, Trump <a href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb2f39007-42e5-4df7-b7d6-a3f90c665a66_1198x588.jpeg?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">will support "clean coal."</a> Coal, oil, whatever---it's all about forcing not just tariff changes but entire <i>global</i> structural change on everything from finances to pharma. As <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/the-art-of-the-global-deal-wednesday?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=160938687&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&token=eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjoyMzM4MDAzMSwicG9zdF9pZCI6MTYwOTM4Njg3LCJpYXQiOjE3NDQyMDQxNTksImV4cCI6MTc0Njc5NjE1OSwiaXNzIjoicHViLTQ2MzQwOSIsInN1YiI6InBvc3QtcmVhY3Rpb24ifQ.E1D64ayisz2VkfMCmgLuOplr7AZF5cYsnntfkWlyFjY&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Jeff Childers, who again has an insightful column</a>, argues, "No U.S. president has <i>ever</i> simultaneously negotiated with the entire planet over everything — not just trade, but security guarantees, foreign aid, market access, immigration enforcement, energy deals, [and] pharmaceutical policy," One truly cannot overstate this: Trump moved so far, so fast that most of the so-called "experts" are in the dark. They apparently still don't realize he is cratering the international organizations such as the WEF, while engineering as Childers nots, a "reverse Marshall Plan." I like that. Yesterday it was 50 countries calling to negotiate, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/us-treasury-secretary-says-around-70-countries-have-reached-out-over-tariffs-5838565?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">today it's 70.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>4) In my substack the other day I argued that President Reagan, after he saw what so-called "free trade" did, would side with Trump on tariffs. Here's proof. <a href="https://americafirstreport.com/former-reagan-economist-art-laffer-makes-strong-case-for-president-trumps-tariffs/" target="_blank">His fave economist, Art Laffter, sides with Trump.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_f02db3d385cb4b0c8ba7fee269efd9c9~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_273,h_410,al_c,lg_1,q_80,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_f02db3d385cb4b0c8ba7fee269efd9c9~mv2.jpg" alt="" /><p>5) CNN's Harry Enten<a href="https://x.com/atrupar/status/1909624835426107810" target="_blank"> calls Trump a "soaring eagle."</a> Jake the Snake Tapper looks like <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/04/07/watch-jake-tapper-looks-like-hes-going-cry/" target="_blank">he's going to cry</a> when a billionaire steel CEO says that Trump is going to "create high-paying jobs" and get people out of poverty.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Congressman Steve Scalise says there is a <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2025/04/08/scalise-theres-a-line-out-the-door-for-new-trade-deals-with-the-u-s/" target="_blank">"Line out the door" to renegotiate trade.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>7) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/judge-boasberg-cancels-hearing-after-scotus-vacates-his-orders-5838536?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">Judge Ballsberger</a> had to back down on his hearing after the Supes smacked him.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Here, conservative strategist Edward Luttwak <a href="https://unherd.com/2025/04/tariffs-will-awaken-the-american-dream/" target="_blank">sides with Trump on tariffs.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>9) Dan Bongino at the FBI<a href="https://conservativebrief.com/bongino-fbi-90654/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank"> insists things are coming, arrests will be made, but urges patience</a>. But details aren't coming out because "bad guys read them" too. "Measure us by results," he said, and "you will see them."</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) Back and forth. Now <a href="https://x.com/steinhauserNH1/status/1909596996312121420" target="_blank">Chris Sununu of New Hampshire says he will NOT run</a> for the senate, while DemoKKKrat Congressman Chris Pappas says he will. This moves the seat back toward the Ds. This is being totally short-term driven by perceptions that the tariffs have provided a chink in Trump's armor. They are wrong.</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) Meanwhile, PA Republicans had another great month,<a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1909325659127611503?t=hOwIasU9Gt7erHUUqRf7LQ&s=19" target="_blank"> with a net shift of over 7,000 voters to Rs or away from Ds</a>. July 2026 is the estimated "flip date" for the state.</p><p><br /> </p><p>12) Florida <a href="https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/crime/arrests-international-child-sexual-abuse-case-tampa-florida/67-ca2b1aa7-f52d-4510-96f3-f13d3589b495?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">announced a major bust of a child trafficking ring.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>13) Vying to take the title of stupidest woman in America from James Brown (Maxine Waters), <a href="https://notthebee.com/article/jasmine-crockett-says-immigrants-cant-leave" target="_blank">Jasmine What-a-Crockett says immigrants can't leave</a> cuz we need them to pick cotton.</p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_1ccbda90515c4c4a8eb1eea5399b5a33~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1024,h_819,al_c,q_85,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_1ccbda90515c4c4a8eb1eea5399b5a33~mv2.jpg" alt="" /><p><br /> </p><p>14) A new Democracy Institute poll says <a href="https://x.com/PatrickBashamDI/status/1909629854128931295" target="_blank">that people by 7 points say Trump's tariffs are good for 'Merica.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>15) Perfect. So now, now only are DemoKKKrats being viewed as the party of the uber-rich, but they are <a href="https://americafirstreport.com/traitors-democrats-openly-defending-hiring-illegal-aliens-after-washington-ice-raid/" target="_blank">defending hiring illegals cuz you know, "Americans won't do the work.</a>" Yep, that's a winner too.</p><p><br /> </p><p>16) ICE has arrested <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/ice-arrests-133-illegal-immigrants-in-new-york-5837992?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">133 illegals in New York.</a> Great, but need to add two zeros.</p><p><br /> </p><p>17) However, in huge news the <a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/u-s-catholic-church-shuts-down-refugee-and-migrant-aid-programs-cmc/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank">Catholic Church has shut down its illicit illegal criminal alien refugee and migrant aid programs.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>18) The IRS and Social Security <a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/04/irs-dhs-reach-interagency-deal-aid-deportation-efforts/" target="_blank">have reached a deal to enhance deportations.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>19) The Trump administration <a href="https://apnews.com/article/immigration-cbp-one-trump-biden-border-95b89a3bb0859ec8b6a39f2eef78f672" target="_blank">has revoked legal status for immigrants who came in under Rutabaga's CBP One app</a>.</p><p><br /> </p><p>20) A<a href="https://www.breitbart.com/crime/2025/04/08/report-california-soccer-coach-accused-of-killing-13-year-old-boy-is-illegal-alien/" target="_blank"> Kollyfornia soccer coach accused of killing a 13-year-old boy</a> is a .. . wait for it . . . illegal criminal alien.</p><p><br /> </p><p>21) <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14587833/avelo-airlines-slashes-routes-migrant-deportations.html" target="_blank">Avelo Airlines is cutting routes</a> so it can provide the gubment with deportation planes.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ECONOMIC NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>22) Stocks gained on thoughts that Trump might relent on tariffs. <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/us-futures-surge-following-tsysec-bessent-comments-president-has-maximum-negotiating?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=4459" target="_blank">Then the 104% ChiCom tariffs went into effect and stocks fell.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>24) Jeffrey Tucker notes that the <a href="https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/us-economic-model-wasnt-sustainable?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1119676&post_id=160934146&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">U.S. economic model of inflated assets and growing debt was not sustainable.</a> I would add, neither is maintaining a constant trade deficit with 90% of the countries in the world, including ChyNa.</p><p><br /> </p><p>25) The <a href="https://www.tomsguide.com/gaming/nintendo/nintendo-switch-2-pre-orders-are-selling-out-already-despite-calls-to-drop-the-price?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Nintendo Switch 2</a> is defying cries about price ($440) and demand is high.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Justice Johnny, seeing the court system slip out of his grasp,<a href="https://x.com/kyledcheney/status/1909332218972881020" target="_blank"> finally stepped in and scotched the court order requiring the return of a dangerous MS-13 toadpoacher. </a>In perhaps an even bigger, 7-2 victory, the <a href="mailto:cidneycardenas@gmail.com" target="_blank">Supes ruled against an order to bring back thousands of federal employees.</a> And yet another victory as an<a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/04/new-appeals-court-allows-doge-workers-access-sensitive/" target="_blank"> appeals court said DOGE can access "sensitive" information.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) The <a href="https://x.com/OcrazioCornPop/status/1909324814978027724" target="_blank">DOJ's sealed motion against would-be Trump killer Ryan "Baby" Routh</a> is so secret even his lawyers can't see it. This suggests involvement by a) Biden, b) FBI, c) SS, or d) Ukraine/foreign actor . . . or any combo therein. <a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/04/doj-reveals-would-be-trump-assassin-ryan-routh/" target="_blank">Leaks show Baby Routh tried to buy a Stinger from Ukraine</a> to take out Trump and discussed his plan with "an operative" in Pennsylvania. So why wasn't he already arrested?</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) The EU's offer of "zero-zero" tariffs is not genuine because of their Value Added Tax and their reluctance to let in consumer goods and food. Thus, Trump says <a href="https://www.politico.eu/article/donald-trump-says-eu-must-buy-350b-of-us-energy-to-get-tariff-relief/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">the EU must commit to buying $350 billion worth of energy </a>before the tariffs come off. Good start. And speaking of energy, Trump <a href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb2f39007-42e5-4df7-b7d6-a3f90c665a66_1198x588.jpeg?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">will support "clean coal."</a> Coal, oil, whatever---it's all about forcing not just tariff changes but entire <i>global</i> structural change on everything from finances to pharma. As <a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/the-art-of-the-global-deal-wednesday?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=160938687&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&token=eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjoyMzM4MDAzMSwicG9zdF9pZCI6MTYwOTM4Njg3LCJpYXQiOjE3NDQyMDQxNTksImV4cCI6MTc0Njc5NjE1OSwiaXNzIjoicHViLTQ2MzQwOSIsInN1YiI6InBvc3QtcmVhY3Rpb24ifQ.E1D64ayisz2VkfMCmgLuOplr7AZF5cYsnntfkWlyFjY&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Jeff Childers, who again has an insightful column</a>, argues, "No U.S. president has <i>ever</i> simultaneously negotiated with the entire planet over everything — not just trade, but security guarantees, foreign aid, market access, immigration enforcement, energy deals, [and] pharmaceutical policy," One truly cannot overstate this: Trump moved so far, so fast that most of the so-called "experts" are in the dark. They apparently still don't realize he is cratering the international organizations such as the WEF, while engineering as Childers nots, a "reverse Marshall Plan." I like that. Yesterday it was 50 countries calling to negotiate, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/us-treasury-secretary-says-around-70-countries-have-reached-out-over-tariffs-5838565?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">today it's 70.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>4) In my substack the other day I argued that President Reagan, after he saw what so-called "free trade" did, would side with Trump on tariffs. Here's proof. <a href="https://americafirstreport.com/former-reagan-economist-art-laffer-makes-strong-case-for-president-trumps-tariffs/" target="_blank">His fave economist, Art Laffter, sides with Trump.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_f02db3d385cb4b0c8ba7fee269efd9c9~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_273,h_410,al_c,lg_1,q_80,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_f02db3d385cb4b0c8ba7fee269efd9c9~mv2.jpg" alt="" /><p>5) CNN's Harry Enten<a href="https://x.com/atrupar/status/1909624835426107810" target="_blank"> calls Trump a "soaring eagle."</a> Jake the Snake Tapper looks like <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/04/07/watch-jake-tapper-looks-like-hes-going-cry/" target="_blank">he's going to cry</a> when a billionaire steel CEO says that Trump is going to "create high-paying jobs" and get people out of poverty.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Congressman Steve Scalise says there is a <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2025/04/08/scalise-theres-a-line-out-the-door-for-new-trade-deals-with-the-u-s/" target="_blank">"Line out the door" to renegotiate trade.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>7) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/judge-boasberg-cancels-hearing-after-scotus-vacates-his-orders-5838536?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">Judge Ballsberger</a> had to back down on his hearing after the Supes smacked him.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Here, conservative strategist Edward Luttwak <a href="https://unherd.com/2025/04/tariffs-will-awaken-the-american-dream/" target="_blank">sides with Trump on tariffs.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>9) Dan Bongino at the FBI<a href="https://conservativebrief.com/bongino-fbi-90654/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank"> insists things are coming, arrests will be made, but urges patience</a>. But details aren't coming out because "bad guys read them" too. "Measure us by results," he said, and "you will see them."</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) Back and forth. Now <a href="https://x.com/steinhauserNH1/status/1909596996312121420" target="_blank">Chris Sununu of New Hampshire says he will NOT run</a> for the senate, while DemoKKKrat Congressman Chris Pappas says he will. This moves the seat back toward the Ds. This is being totally short-term driven by perceptions that the tariffs have provided a chink in Trump's armor. They are wrong.</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) Meanwhile, PA Republicans had another great month,<a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1909325659127611503?t=hOwIasU9Gt7erHUUqRf7LQ&s=19" target="_blank"> with a net shift of over 7,000 voters to Rs or away from Ds</a>.

      <title>Today&apos;s News, April 6-7, 2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) And just like that, <a href="https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-849090" target="_blank">President Trump reset the trade map</a>, as over 50 countries have contacted the White House to open trade talks. <a href="https://www.thefp.com/p/trumps-just-tariff-war?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Victor Davis Hanson</a> argues that Trump is righting a 50 year wrong in a "just" trade war. That stemmed from (as Mike Allen and I note in <i>A Patriot's History of the United Stats</i>) a "golden accident" where, for the first time in world history a single nation was the world's largest consumer AND largest producer. The U.S. is still, by far in terms of value the largest consuming nation in the world. Quirky <a href="https://www.thefp.com/p/niall-ferguson-trumps-tariffs-and?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Niall Ferguson </a>agrees, kinda, but says Trump is reorganizing the <i>Pax Americana</i> and the geographical/political map. But he doesn't think we can reindustrialize. Really? Who saved your sorry ass in 1942? It was a nation that reindustrialized <i>on a dime</i>, turning out brand new factories in six months and making Liberty Ships in 4 DAYS.</p><p>2) What did this do to Asian (i.e., ChiCom) markets? They utterly crashed: Here is<a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/trump-sneezed-monday-april-7-2025?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=160776564&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> Jeff Childers' take</a>: Mainland China's CSI 300 index dropped sharply into a plunge of around -6% to -7%. Hong Kong's main stock measure, the Hang Seng Index, crashed -13%— its worst day since a 1997 landslide during the Asian financial crisis. Indexes in Shanghai, Taipei and Tokyo fell between -7% and -10%. European markets have free-fallen between -5% and -7% since their openings early this morning. So our market is down some, theirs is down catastrophically. What will the ChiComs do? Childers had a great take: "world leaders aren’t calling Trump’s economic haggling team. They’re calling his hostage negotiating hotline." Case in point, J<a href="https://x.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1909047931522400722" target="_blank">apan just requested a meeting</a>. Trump has 50 meetings lined up to reciprocate/reduce tariffs. That's 25% of the globe.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) While Trump is ready to deal with the Euros, he made it clear they are going to <a href="https://x.com/stillgray/status/1909040924774056063?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">"pay up"</a> for the past suckage they have put on the USA. The free ride caused by the "golden accident is kaput. They will be begging like panhandlers on the Vegas strip.</p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_7018da5613fc47ceabb975fa81141265~mv2.jpeg/v1/fill/w_445,h_223,al_c,lg_1,q_80,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_7018da5613fc47ceabb975fa81141265~mv2.jpeg" alt="" /><p><br /> </p><p>4) A <i>Daily Mail</i> poll shows that <a href="https://x.com/ElectionWiz/status/1908526669981229241" target="_blank">President Trump's approval has jumped to 53%</a> after the tariff announcements.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Amazing news. The<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/irs-cutting-workforce-25-percent-eliminating-agencys-civil-rights-office" target="_blank"> IRS is cutting its workforce by 25%, </a>eliminating the entire "civil rights" office. You know, the same one that allowed Lois Lerner to target conservatives back in 2010? Meanwhile Trump has said he will eliminate the capital gains tax by year's end.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) The Senate <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/senate-passes-trumps-agenda-budget-blueprint-after-late-night-voting-session-5837112?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-04-05-1&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-04-05-1&utm_medium=email&est=jjW8pnDiQ1O8%2BLZB6NDuwvH3jqfqcevNbpdo5PMx7Eo05gx84CMhkUo45X6KOv0TJ3eWPKk%3D" target="_blank">passed President Trump's budget</a>, which now heads for the House.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) This is the way. The <a href="https://x.com/micahddrew/status/1908254836380098884" target="_blank">Montana GOP has kicked out nine "Republican" legislators </a>for continually voting with DemoKKKrats and they will receive no funding from the state party. Oh, that we could do that in the Senate.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Defense against hypersonic missiles requires more forward based interceptor technologies, known as<a href="https://amgreatness.com/2025/04/06/golden-dome-americas-answer-to-the-hypersonic-threat/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=61757" target="_blank"> "Golden Dome." </a>While nothing is spelled out, this likely involves fewer actual missiles and more electronics warfare jamming and frying of enemy systems deployed in the Atlantic and Pacific. And speaking of missile defense, the <a href="https://defence-blog.com/us-shifts-patriot-missiles-amid-iran-strike-fears/" target="_blank">US is redeploying Korean-based Patriot batteries </a>to "another region," i.e., the Middle East.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) A good column here by<a href="https://substack.com/home/post/p-160647224" target="_blank"> "Shipwreckedcrew" on the latest decisions by the Supes </a>and how they send a clear warning to the rogue judges. By blocking one of the hyena-cabal's "temporary restraining orders," the Supes sent a message that the use of these TROs has reached "a dangerous level" and that ACB for one is on board with the conservatives to stop this horse manure. For example, he argues, "language in the Order that suggests at least 5 votes now exist for the proposition that some significant amount of the ongoing litigation over new Administration policies regarding cancelling grants, contracts, and other spending cuts, needs to be filed in the Court of Claims." It signals the judges do NOT have the jurisdictional authority to issue these, and that "meaningful bonds" need to be produced by the losers.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) DemoKKKrat Congressman Jared Golden, from a very competitive ME district, <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/04/05/good-start-senate-democrat-admits-hes-pleased-president/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">admits he is pleased</a> with President Trump's administration so far.</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) More evidence that DemoKKKrats are jumping ship. <a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/democrats-suffer-brutal-midterms-setback-as-vulnerable-dems-jump-ship-cmc/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank">Chris Pappas, congressman from New Hampshire, announced he will leave the House</a> to run for the Senate, where he would have little chance against Chris Sununu. 12) Meanwhile leftist wizards of smart insist the <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/faith-freedom-self-reliance/3370784/left-new-abundance-agenda-is-a-farce/" target="_blank">left can have an "abundance agenda."</a> Nope. Not with green, not with illegal criminal aliens, and not with woke. These all ACTIVELY work against any form of "abundance" by denying power/energy growth (green), wages (illegals) and merit (woke).</p><p><br /> </p><p>13) Linda Sun, <a href="https://theamericantribune.com/hochuls-deputy-chief-of-staff-arrested-on-treason-related-charges/" target="_blank">one of NY governor Hock-a-lugie's top aides,</a> was arrested on treason charges. Good.</p><p><br /> </p><p>14) Correct. The interim US attorney for DC has <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/interim-us-attorney-dc-expanded-investigation-jan-6/story?id=120495133#origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F&cap=swipe,education&webview=1&dialog=1&viewport=natural&visibilityState=prerender&prerenderSize=1&viewerUrl=https" target="_blank">likened the J6 Patriot Day cases to Japanese internment.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>15) A <a href="https://notthebee.com/article/clinical-trial-of-a-new-drug-wipes-out-93-of-harmful-cholesterol-with-one-dose" target="_blank">new drug wipes out 90% of harmful cholesterol</a> in a single dose in trials.</p><p><br /> </p><p>16) Seth Keshel shows that voter registration <a href="https://skeshel.substack.com/p/april-2025-voter-registration-by" target="_blank">is moving in the GOP direction in ALL SEVEN </a>of the swing states where it can be measured.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) And just like that, <a href="https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-849090" target="_blank">President Trump reset the trade map</a>, as over 50 countries have contacted the White House to open trade talks. <a href="https://www.thefp.com/p/trumps-just-tariff-war?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Victor Davis Hanson</a> argues that Trump is righting a 50 year wrong in a "just" trade war. That stemmed from (as Mike Allen and I note in <i>A Patriot's History of the United Stats</i>) a "golden accident" where, for the first time in world history a single nation was the world's largest consumer AND largest producer. The U.S. is still, by far in terms of value the largest consuming nation in the world. Quirky <a href="https://www.thefp.com/p/niall-ferguson-trumps-tariffs-and?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Niall Ferguson </a>agrees, kinda, but says Trump is reorganizing the <i>Pax Americana</i> and the geographical/political map. But he doesn't think we can reindustrialize. Really? Who saved your sorry ass in 1942? It was a nation that reindustrialized <i>on a dime</i>, turning out brand new factories in six months and making Liberty Ships in 4 DAYS.</p><p>2) What did this do to Asian (i.e., ChiCom) markets? They utterly crashed: Here is<a href="https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/trump-sneezed-monday-april-7-2025?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=160776564&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> Jeff Childers' take</a>: Mainland China's CSI 300 index dropped sharply into a plunge of around -6% to -7%. Hong Kong's main stock measure, the Hang Seng Index, crashed -13%— its worst day since a 1997 landslide during the Asian financial crisis. Indexes in Shanghai, Taipei and Tokyo fell between -7% and -10%. European markets have free-fallen between -5% and -7% since their openings early this morning. So our market is down some, theirs is down catastrophically. What will the ChiComs do? Childers had a great take: "world leaders aren’t calling Trump’s economic haggling team. They’re calling his hostage negotiating hotline." Case in point, J<a href="https://x.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1909047931522400722" target="_blank">apan just requested a meeting</a>. Trump has 50 meetings lined up to reciprocate/reduce tariffs. That's 25% of the globe.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) While Trump is ready to deal with the Euros, he made it clear they are going to <a href="https://x.com/stillgray/status/1909040924774056063?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">"pay up"</a> for the past suckage they have put on the USA. The free ride caused by the "golden accident is kaput. They will be begging like panhandlers on the Vegas strip.</p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_7018da5613fc47ceabb975fa81141265~mv2.jpeg/v1/fill/w_445,h_223,al_c,lg_1,q_80,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_7018da5613fc47ceabb975fa81141265~mv2.jpeg" alt="" /><p><br /> </p><p>4) A <i>Daily Mail</i> poll shows that <a href="https://x.com/ElectionWiz/status/1908526669981229241" target="_blank">President Trump's approval has jumped to 53%</a> after the tariff announcements.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Amazing news. The<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/irs-cutting-workforce-25-percent-eliminating-agencys-civil-rights-office" target="_blank"> IRS is cutting its workforce by 25%, </a>eliminating the entire "civil rights" office. You know, the same one that allowed Lois Lerner to target conservatives back in 2010? Meanwhile Trump has said he will eliminate the capital gains tax by year's end.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) The Senate <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/senate-passes-trumps-agenda-budget-blueprint-after-late-night-voting-session-5837112?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-04-05-1&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-04-05-1&utm_medium=email&est=jjW8pnDiQ1O8%2BLZB6NDuwvH3jqfqcevNbpdo5PMx7Eo05gx84CMhkUo45X6KOv0TJ3eWPKk%3D" target="_blank">passed President Trump's budget</a>, which now heads for the House.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) This is the way. The <a href="https://x.com/micahddrew/status/1908254836380098884" target="_blank">Montana GOP has kicked out nine "Republican" legislators </a>for continually voting with DemoKKKrats and they will receive no funding from the state party. Oh, that we could do that in the Senate.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Defense against hypersonic missiles requires more forward based interceptor technologies, known as<a href="https://amgreatness.com/2025/04/06/golden-dome-americas-answer-to-the-hypersonic-threat/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=61757" target="_blank"> "Golden Dome." </a>While nothing is spelled out, this likely involves fewer actual missiles and more electronics warfare jamming and frying of enemy systems deployed in the Atlantic and Pacific. And speaking of missile defense, the <a href="https://defence-blog.com/us-shifts-patriot-missiles-amid-iran-strike-fears/" target="_blank">US is redeploying Korean-based Patriot batteries </a>to "another region," i.e., the Middle East.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) A good column here by<a href="https://substack.com/home/post/p-160647224" target="_blank"> "Shipwreckedcrew" on the latest decisions by the Supes </a>and how they send a clear warning to the rogue judges. By blocking one of the hyena-cabal's "temporary restraining orders," the Supes sent a message that the use of these TROs has reached "a dangerous level" and that ACB for one is on board with the conservatives to stop this horse manure. For example, he argues, "language in the Order that suggests at least 5 votes now exist for the proposition that some significant amount of the ongoing litigation over new Administration policies regarding cancelling grants, contracts, and other spending cuts, needs to be filed in the Court of Claims." It signals the judges do NOT have the jurisdictional authority to issue these, and that "meaningful bonds" need to be produced by the losers.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) DemoKKKrat Congressman Jared Golden, from a very competitive ME district, <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/04/05/good-start-senate-democrat-admits-hes-pleased-president/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">admits he is pleased</a> with President Trump's administration so far.</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) More evidence that DemoKKKrats are jumping ship. <a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/democrats-suffer-brutal-midterms-setback-as-vulnerable-dems-jump-ship-cmc/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank">Chris Pappas, congressman from New Hampshire, announced he will leave the House</a> to run for the Senate, where he would have little chance against Chris Sununu. 12) Meanwhile leftist wizards of smart insist the <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/faith-freedom-self-reliance/3370784/left-new-abundance-agenda-is-a-farce/" target="_blank">left can have an "abundance agenda."</a> Nope. Not with green, not with illegal criminal aliens, and not with woke.

      <title>Today&apos;s News, April 3-5, 2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) The Senate, with gol old Yertle, Tom Collins, and MurCowSki joined by Randy Paul, voted down Trump's tariff on Canada. Now the <a href="https://www.nysun.com/article/house-democrats-will-force-vote-to-block-trumps-global-10-percent-tariff-after-senate-rebukes-president" target="_blank">House DemoKKKrats</a> are trying to force a vote. Overall the <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/us-to-impose-10-percent-universal-levies-steeper-tariffs-for-countries-with-high-trade-barriers-5835789?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-04-03&src_cmp=mb-2025-04-03&utm_medium=email&est=H743MKcze1ZebiiaJFCIa1qKahqlNeYqTnqu0HtYTUeQNp4OYctWWzI9bO1%2FBsqPo0%2BrDbM%3D" target="_blank">rates on imported goods</a> will be 10% but on Chy-na, 54% as noted below. President Trump is doing nothing short of rebuilding and revitalizing American industry after decades of global embezzlement in the name of tariffs. Time to stop the gravy train. This is the first across the board tariff since the Taft administration 100 years ago and is based entirely on reciprocity (as were Taft's).

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) The Senate, with gol old Yertle, Tom Collins, and MurCowSki joined by Randy Paul, voted down Trump's tariff on Canada. Now the <a href="https://www.nysun.com/article/house-democrats-will-force-vote-to-block-trumps-global-10-percent-tariff-after-senate-rebukes-president" target="_blank">House DemoKKKrats</a> are trying to force a vote.

President Trump is doing nothing short of rebuilding and revitalizing American industry after decades of global embezzlement in the name of tariffs. Time to stop the gravy train. This is the first across the board tariff since the Taft administration 100 years ago and is based entirely on reciprocity (as were Taft's). As Peter Zeihan has predicted many times, this is the end of Bretton Woods, the post WW II agreements that led to U.S. decline. Some on the left are beginning <a href="https://www.thefp.com/p/trump-maga-lefty?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">to side with Trump</a> because of this issue. And Trump says he is seeking <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/international/global-trends/trump-seeks-phenomenal-offers-he-cant-refuse-from-countries-for-tariff-negotiations/articleshow/119972569.cms?from=mdr" target="_blank">"phenomenal offers" </a>from foreign nations in return for cutting duties.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) The<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/senate-passes-trumps-agenda-budget-blueprint-after-late-night-voting-session-5837112?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank"> Senate passed Trump's budget resolutoin</a> and <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trumps-10-percent-universal-tariffs-take-effect-5837216?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">10% tariffs are in effect.</a> The measure <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/senate-passes-trumps-agenda-budget-blueprint-after-late-night-voting-session-5837112?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">goes back to the always-in-recess House</a>.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) The Supes said President <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/supreme-court-grants-trumps-request-to-block-education-grants-over-dei-concerns-5837081?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-04-04-5&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-04-04-5&utm_medium=email&est=Ra%2FqbVbmB6Lb%2Fplus8JAEDtaTkvBVUL2TuChDcW%2BT6GupZkVlyRL81rHd2NrjyAu4JuNTDC3" target="_blank">Trump can freeze Education DEI grants.</a>He is winning the majority of these cases and it underscores the wisdom of NOT disobeying the courts as some suggested.</p><p>4) Here is the Trump administration's <a href="https://ustr.gov/sites/default/files/files/Press/Reports/2025NTE.pdf?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">report on global trade barriers.</a> Predictably <a href="https://x.com/Mike_Pence/status/1907570236091445671?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Traitor Tuppence is opposed.</a> This guy turned out to be Bill Broken Kristol II.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Tennessee will <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/china/tennessee-enacts-law-to-stop-health-coverage-for-china-linked-organ-transplants-5835776?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-04-03&src_cmp=mb-2025-04-03&utm_medium=email&est=OYbZFk4lVcdOLDv6VHRaRH3UO9Weu%2Fx0JIsSph%2FeGDbifULqMGd%2BtU%2Bxtksu3pvcYAh5Dbk%3D" target="_blank">no longer fund organ transplants in China</a>, due to their trafficking in organs.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) North Carolina's Supes <a href="https://amgreatness.com/2025/04/04/nc-court-of-appeals-orders-recount-of-65000-ballots-in-contested-2024-state-supreme-court-election/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=61524" target="_blank">ordered a recount of 65,000 contested ballots in a race decided by 734 votes.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>7) New Kabul (NYC) Mayor <a href="https://protrumpnews.com/eric-adams-running-as-independent-in-nyc-mayor-race/" target="_blank">Eric the Red Adams</a> has ditched the DemoKKKrat Party and will run as an independent.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) One month after Kash Patel was named FBI director, <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/fbi-breaks-90536/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">the agency broke a record in number of applications to be agents.</a> Fine, but I'd rather see a record of political arrests and documents released.

      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) The big election news was that the <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/florida-wins-provide-cushion-to-thin-house-gop-majority-5835383?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">Republicans won two FL special elections for the U.S. House</a>, while losing a Supreme Court election in WI. But they also won a<a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5226361-wisconsin-photo-id-ballot/" target="_blank"> constitutional amendment in WI requiring photo ID to vote</a>. Of course, the doomspoogers were all over the WI loss, dismissing the FL victories as either not a big enough margin or as "they were R anyway." Not the way to view it. Since February, the Rs are 6/9 in special elections, and if you include the WI constitutional amendment, 7/10. Meanwhile, people keep forgetting the DemoKKKrats lost two Congressmen to the grim reaper and thus over the last six weeks have dropped down by an additional FOUR in the House (+2 in FL, =2 to Hela, Goddess of Death). At any rate, notions that some how the WI Supe race automatically means different redistricting and/or a loss of seats in the House is silly. In NC, the state Supes chucked a state legislature map only to have the US Supes reinstate it, and as I understand it, the WI Senate is +1 R anyway. But doomspoogers will doomspooge.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) A federal judge cleared New Kabul (NYC) <a href="https://www.nysun.com/article/federal-judge-clears-eric-adams-of-corruption-charges-removing-the-sword-of-damocles-over-his-head?newsletter-access&recognized_email=larryschweikart%40gmail.com&utm_source=MG&utm_medium=email-newsletter&utm_campaign=Breaking%20%202025-04-02" target="_blank">Mayor Eric the Red Adams of corruption charges brought by the Rutabaga administration.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Pam Bondi <a href="https://www.nysun.com/article/pam-bondi-puts-up-firewall-wont-support-special-counsel-or-other-probe-into-signal-affair-as-democrats-seek-to-keep-story-alive" target="_blank">put up a "firewall" around the whole Hegseth "Signalgate" nothingburger</a>.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) The big election news was that the <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/florida-wins-provide-cushion-to-thin-house-gop-majority-5835383?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">Republicans won two FL special elections for the U.S. House</a>, while losing a Supreme Court election in WI. But they also won a<a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5226361-wisconsin-photo-id-ballot/" target="_blank"> constitutional amendment in WI requiring photo ID to vote</a>. Of course, the doomspoogers were all over the WI loss, dismissing the FL victories as either not a big enough margin or as "they were R anyway." Not the way to view it. Since February, the Rs are 6/9 in special elections, and if you include the WI constitutional amendment, 7/10. Meanwhile, people keep forgetting the DemoKKKrats lost two Congressmen to the grim reaper and thus over the last six weeks have dropped down by an additional FOUR in the House (+2 in FL, =2 to Hela, Goddess of Death). At any rate, notions that some how the WI Supe race automatically means different redistricting and/or a loss of seats in the House is silly. In NC, the state Supes chucked a state legislature map only to have the US Supes reinstate it, and as I understand it, the WI Senate is +1 R anyway. But doomspoogers will doomspooge.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) A federal judge cleared New Kabul (NYC) <a href="https://www.nysun.com/article/federal-judge-clears-eric-adams-of-corruption-charges-removing-the-sword-of-damocles-over-his-head?newsletter-access&recognized_email=larryschweikart%40gmail.com&utm_source=MG&utm_medium=email-newsletter&utm_campaign=Breaking%20%202025-04-02" target="_blank">Mayor Eric the Red Adams of corruption charges brought by the Rutabaga administration.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Pam Bondi <a href="https://www.nysun.com/article/pam-bondi-puts-up-firewall-wont-support-special-counsel-or-other-probe-into-signal-affair-as-democrats-seek-to-keep-story-alive" target="_blank">put up a "firewall" around the whole Hegseth "Signalgate" nothingburger</a>.

      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) President Trump told the RINO/Neocon/Hoax News Media to stick it where the gaseous orb don't shine,<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-says-he-wont-fire-anyone-over-signal-chat-group-leak-5833840?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank"> and that he is not firing SecDef Pete Hegseth over a media hoax.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) A federal judge has <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/federal-judge-halts-shutdown-of-voice-of-america-5833487?utm_source=Goodevening&src_src=Goodevening&utm_campaign=gv-2025-03-29&src_cmp=gv-2025-03-29&utm_medium=email&est=LRFYrtyzkTAaAbW4aHvma%2F7JgHGRqU4C2Ix86iNidyfCFXhE8nmmL18H8cEqglBc47TeAkMG" target="_blank">temporarily halted the shutdown of Voice of America</a>. Sorry spoogies. All you idiots are doing is postponing the inevitable and giving your flying monkeys false hope. These agencies WILL be downsized or eliminated. Personally, because of the role VOA played in bringing down communism by bombarding the commies with Rock and Roll, I have a soft spot in my heart for the agency. For example, this appeals court said Trump can fire <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/appeals-trump-90434/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">two Rutabaga-era appointees to important boards</a>. This is just tip of the iceberg stuff.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) The Congressional Budget Office issued a<a href="https://www.cbo.gov/publication/60870?emci=a1342c9e-0e0c-f011-90cd-0022482a9fb7&emdi=ccd1c13c-d40c-f011-90cd-0022482a9fb7&ceid=13110802" target="_blank"> bleak outlook on U.S. deficits and debt</a>, yet these same diddlepickles couldn't come up with the votes to actually pass a budget . . . again.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) About those "dangerous" Russkies: <a href="https://www.the-express.com/news/world-news/167702/poll-country-biggest-threat-US" target="_blank">A Democracy Institute poll</a> shows Russia isn't even in the top three of the nations most people see as the biggest threats to the USA.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) I keep harping on these voter registration <a href="https://www.wildworldofpolitics.com/blog/hashtags/s">#s</a> but they are EXCEEDINGLY indicative of the real state of things, not polls and not state-level special elections. In North Carolina, <a href="https://x.com/earlyvotedata/status/1906007713852879096" target="_blank">Rs shaved <i><strong>another 4,000</strong></i> off the D lead which just a year ago was 175,000 to now make the statewide D lead 26,000!</a> This pollster says <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/democrat-in-90470/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">DemoKKKrats could be in trouble in the midterms</a>---I predict they will lose both FL congressional special elections this week and that the WI Supreme Court race will be extremely close. Right now the R is almost at "firewall" numbers.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Meanwhile <a href="https://x.com/magapolling/status/1905701431317045661" target="_blank">President Trump is at 52% approval in this poll.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>7) An <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/appeals-court-allows-doge-to-continue-to-downsize-usaid-5833036?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-03-28-7&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-03-28-7&utm_medium=email&est=QSEWUrkwQpHExpmVB4J%2FtkwF%2BtrosEwGvx1sn%2BfakMjtp7q5c5Q7KZqPGmDOcVnWk1gsz5PG" target="_blank">appeals court allowed DOGE to continue to polish off USAID.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>8) The latest lib buzz word is "abundance," but the latest fecal-wrap by libs shows there really is no abundance in their real-world scenarios. They keep coming back to the fact that DemoKKKrat run cities and states suck, that they are much worse than red cities (the few that there are) and states, and that they still believe in the Climate Hoax. Nope. Homey don't play dat. <a href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/can-democrats-promote-an-abundance?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=239058&post_id=159963556&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Ruy Teixeira says he has doubts DemoKKKrats can embrace an "abundance" agenda.</a> Alex Castellanos, in a different way<a href="https://x.com/alexcast/status/1906049969770934315" target="_blank"> outlines the fatal crash of the DemoKKKrats</a>, but I don't think he quite gets to the nub of it which is their anti-life, anti-America, anti-everything CHARACTER finally emerged like some alien monster that finally shed its skin.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) President Trump told the RINO/Neocon/Hoax News Media to stick it where the gaseous orb don't shine,<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-says-he-wont-fire-anyone-over-signal-chat-group-leak-5833840?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank"> and that he is not firing SecDef Pete Hegseth over a media hoax.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) A federal judge has <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/federal-judge-halts-shutdown-of-voice-of-america-5833487?utm_source=Goodevening&src_src=Goodevening&utm_campaign=gv-2025-03-29&src_cmp=gv-2025-03-29&utm_medium=email&est=LRFYrtyzkTAaAbW4aHvma%2F7JgHGRqU4C2Ix86iNidyfCFXhE8nmmL18H8cEqglBc47TeAkMG" target="_blank">temporarily halted the shutdown of Voice of America</a>. Sorry spoogies. All you idiots are doing is postponing the inevitable and giving your flying monkeys false hope. These agencies WILL be downsized or eliminated. Personally, because of the role VOA played in bringing down communism by bombarding the commies with Rock and Roll, I have a soft spot in my heart for the agency. For example, this appeals court said Trump can fire <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/appeals-trump-90434/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">two Rutabaga-era appointees to important boards</a>. This is just tip of the iceberg stuff.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) The Congressional Budget Office issued a<a href="https://www.cbo.gov/publication/60870?emci=a1342c9e-0e0c-f011-90cd-0022482a9fb7&emdi=ccd1c13c-d40c-f011-90cd-0022482a9fb7&ceid=13110802" target="_blank"> bleak outlook on U.S. deficits and debt</a>, yet these same diddlepickles couldn't come up with the votes to actually pass a budget . . . again.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) About those "dangerous" Russkies: <a href="https://www.the-express.com/news/world-news/167702/poll-country-biggest-threat-US" target="_blank">A Democracy Institute poll</a> shows Russia isn't even in the top three of the nations most people see as the biggest threats to the USA.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) I keep harping on these voter registration <a href="https://www.wildworldofpolitics.com/blog/hashtags/s">#s</a> but they are EXCEEDINGLY indicative of the real state of things, not polls and not state-level special elections. In North Carolina, <a href="https://x.com/earlyvotedata/status/1906007713852879096" target="_blank">Rs shaved <i><strong>another 4,000</strong></i> off the D lead which just a year ago was 175,000 to now make the statewide D lead 26,000!</a> This pollster says <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/democrat-in-90470/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">DemoKKKrats could be in trouble in the midterms</a>---I predict they will lose both FL congressional special elections this week and that the WI Supreme Court race will be extremely close. Right now the R is almost at "firewall" numbers.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Meanwhile <a href="https://x.com/magapolling/status/1905701431317045661" target="_blank">President Trump is at 52% approval in this poll.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>7) An <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/appeals-court-allows-doge-to-continue-to-downsize-usaid-5833036?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-03-28-7&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-03-28-7&utm_medium=email&est=QSEWUrkwQpHExpmVB4J%2FtkwF%2BtrosEwGvx1sn%2BfakMjtp7q5c5Q7KZqPGmDOcVnWk1gsz5PG" target="_blank">appeals court allowed DOGE to continue to polish off USAID.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>8) The latest lib buzz word is "abundance," but the latest fecal-wrap by libs shows there really is no abundance in their real-world scenarios. They keep coming back to the fact that DemoKKKrat run cities and states suck, that they are much worse than red cities (the few that there are) and states, and that they still believe in the Climate Hoax. Nope. Homey don't play dat. <a href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/can-democrats-promote-an-abundance?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=239058&post_id=159963556&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Ruy Teixeira says he has doubts DemoKKKrats can embrace an "abundance" agenda.</a> Alex Castellanos, in a different way<a href="https://x.com/alexcast/status/1906049969770934315" target="_blank"> outlines the fatal crash of the DemoKKKrats</a>, but I don't think he quite gets to the nub of it which is their anti-life, anti-America, anti-everything CHARACTER finally emerged like some alien monster that finally shed its skin. I do not believe they can overcome that. But it doesn't matter, the DemoKKKrat Homeys <a href="https://apnews.com/article/democrats-anger-backlash-trump-musk-426c189225ee978b4eea09352ac122b7" target="_blank">will continue to rail against their own leaders.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_3ba34ed9a7354380a957eab579d3ff34~mv2.webp/v1/fill/w_768,h_576,al_c,lg_1,q_85,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_3ba34ed9a7354380a957eab579d3ff34~mv2.webp" alt="" /><p>9) The<a href="https://blackmon.substack.com/p/las-vegas-tesla-fire-bomber-arrested?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=712558&post_id=160009065&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> Las Vegas Tesla fire bomber </a>was arrested.

      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) <a href="https://x.com/DannySpewak/status/1904280110926111082" target="_blank">Two dozen federal awareds to Minnesota</a> have been paused.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) President Trump has signed what we hope <a href="https://amgreatness.com/2025/03/25/trump-signs-executive-order-reserving-and-protecting-the-integrity-of-american-elections/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=59340" target="_blank">is the first of several election security acts that will begin to move the U.S. onto one day voting.</a> This executive order will prevent illegals from voting.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Big legal win as the Ninth Circuit (remember how bad this was before Trump named a bunch of judges to this?) <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1904593450789482898" target="_blank">said that Trump can halt refugee admissions.</a> File under the stupid "What is Pam Bondi doing?" questions. EVERY ONE of these cases is being litigated by DOJ's attorneys, all 65 of them. (Zen Master reminds me that of the 29 Ninth Circuit judges, Trump has appointed 10 and one more is retiring. ZM thinks Trump will have a total of 14 of the 29 when he's done).</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Energy Secretary Chris Wright says the <a href="https://blackmon.substack.com/p/chris-wright-demand-for-energy-will?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=712558&post_id=159840323&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">demand for energy will be :unlimited.</a> Well, yah. That's why we need oil, gas, LNG, nukes, and everything else that generates positive energy.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) So called practical DemoKKKrats or "moderates" such as Noah Smith get it half right. <a href="https://www.noahpinion.blog/p/blue-states-dont-build-red-states" target="_blank">DemoKKKrat politicies are utterly killing blue cities </a>and blue states and empowering Republicans who know how to actually build stuff. What he doesn't get is that the ESSENCE of libtoid progressivism is anti-human and anti-God and they are incapable of building great things.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Christopher Rufo has <a href="https://christopherrufo.com/p/ten-questions-for-nprs-katherine?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1248321&post_id=159862748&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">10 questions Katherine Maher should answer in her hearings</a>. Based on these, this woman has no place being anywhere close to NPR. Just close it down.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) There are <a href="https://x.com/ScottPresler/status/1902751923628875800" target="_blank">two special elections under way</a>, both important and close. In WI, Brad Schmiel for Supreme Court is critical to overcome Tony Evers. Currently R-areas are uop 3-5% over last election, but experts think it will take 9% final by election day to win. In PA's special the Ds are leading in a state senate race. Republicans have won three of the last four specials. Don't let up.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) John Halpin explains the <a href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/the-sociology-of-party-decline?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=239058&post_id=159839103&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">demographis of the DemoKKKrats collapse.</a> The reality is that both parties still have WAY too many managerial-class people at the top and need to cull them. But the DemoKKKrats still need an exorcism on top of that.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) President Trump<a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/just-in-trump-issues-memo-to-declassify-crossfire-hurricane-files-mace/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank"> signed a memo declassifying the "Crossfire Hurricane" docs.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>10) DHS Secretary Kristi Noem <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/03/26/dhs-secretary-kristi-noem-vows-eliminate-massive-federal/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">vowed to eliminate FEMA and move its activities under DHS. </a>Good start culling every possible government agency and bureau.</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) File this under uh oh.

So unknowingly these chowderbrains canceled a pagan holiday.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ECONOMIC NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>15) Ed Dowd fears a <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/ed-dowd-fears-short-deep-recession-coming-doge-exposes-mind-shocking-fraud-propped-bidens?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=4296" target="_blank">"short but deep recession" as DOGE exposes "mind-shocking" levels of fraud.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>16) <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/03/25/morgan-stanley-mike-wilson-white-house-stock-market/" target="_blank">Morgan Stanley's Chief Investment Officer said that Trump "doesn't care" about the stock market</a>. Maybe in recent years too many presidents have ONLY cared about the stock market?</p><p><br /> </p><p>17) Dollar Tree is going to <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/dollar-tree-sellling-family-dollar-1-billion-private-equity/" target="_blank">sell Family Dollar for $1 billion after buying it for $8 billion ten years ago.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>18) President Trump will launch <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/donald-trump-2-90367/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">the External Revenue Service.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>19) An <a href="https://blackmon.substack.com/p/absurd-oregon-youth-climate-case?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=712558&post_id=159905999&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Oregon court bitchslapped some youts</a> who tried to say the gubment should protect them against "climate change."</p><p><br /> </p><p>20) DOGE has <a href="https://theamericantribune.com/watch-elon-and-doge-expose-untraceable-5-trillion-in-treasury-payments-no-idea-where-it-went/" target="_blank">uncovered $5 trillion in "untraceable" Treasury payments.</a> "no idea where it went."

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) <a href="https://x.com/DannySpewak/status/1904280110926111082" target="_blank">Two dozen federal awareds to Minnesota</a> have been paused.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) President Trump has signed what we hope <a href="https://amgreatness.com/2025/03/25/trump-signs-executive-order-reserving-and-protecting-the-integrity-of-american-elections/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=59340" target="_blank">is the first of several election security acts that will begin to move the U.S. onto one day voting.</a> This executive order will prevent illegals from voting.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Big legal win as the Ninth Circuit (remember how bad this was before Trump named a bunch of judges to this?) <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1904593450789482898" target="_blank">said that Trump can halt refugee admissions.</a> File under the stupid "What is Pam Bondi doing?" questions. EVERY ONE of these cases is being litigated by DOJ's attorneys, all 65 of them. (Zen Master reminds me that of the 29 Ninth Circuit judges, Trump has appointed 10 and one more is retiring. ZM thinks Trump will have a total of 14 of the 29 when he's done).</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Energy Secretary Chris Wright says the <a href="https://blackmon.substack.com/p/chris-wright-demand-for-energy-will?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=712558&post_id=159840323&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">demand for energy will be :unlimited.</a> Well, yah. That's why we need oil, gas, LNG, nukes, and everything else that generates positive energy.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) So called practical DemoKKKrats or "moderates" such as Noah Smith get it half right. <a href="https://www.noahpinion.blog/p/blue-states-dont-build-red-states" target="_blank">DemoKKKrat politicies are utterly killing blue cities </a>and blue states and empowering Republicans who know how to actually build stuff. What he doesn't get is that the ESSENCE of libtoid progressivism is anti-human and anti-God and they are incapable of building great things.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Christopher Rufo has <a href="https://christopherrufo.com/p/ten-questions-for-nprs-katherine?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1248321&post_id=159862748&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">10 questions Katherine Maher should answer in her hearings</a>. Based on these, this woman has no place being anywhere close to NPR. Just close it down.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) There are <a href="https://x.com/ScottPresler/status/1902751923628875800" target="_blank">two special elections under way</a>, both important and close. In WI, Brad Schmiel for Supreme Court is critical to overcome Tony Evers. Currently R-areas are uop 3-5% over last election, but experts think it will take 9% final by election day to win. In PA's special the Ds are leading in a state senate race. Republicans have won three of the last four specials. Don't let up.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) John Halpin explains the <a href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/the-sociology-of-party-decline?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=239058&post_id=159839103&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">demographis of the DemoKKKrats collapse.</a> The reality is that both parties still have WAY too many managerial-class people at the top and need to cull them. But the DemoKKKrats still need an exorcism on top of that.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) President Trump<a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/just-in-trump-issues-memo-to-declassify-crossfire-hurricane-files-mace/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank"> signed a memo declassifying the "Crossfire Hurricane" docs.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>10) DHS Secretary Kristi Noem <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/03/26/dhs-secretary-kristi-noem-vows-eliminate-massive-federal/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">vowed to eliminate FEMA and move its activities under DHS. </a>Good start culling every possible government agency and bureau.</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) File this under uh oh. A resurfaced CIA memo says<a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/03/26/resurfaced-secret-cia-file-claims-ark-covenant-has/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank"> the Ark of the Covenant has been located.</a> Do the Nazis know?</p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_8086bace9a3447de99a284ba2e5d82ac~mv2.avif/v1/fill/w_1400,h_700,al_c,q_85,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_8086bace9a3447de99a284ba2e5d82ac~mv2.avif" alt="" /><p><br /> </p><p>12) You can start to feel that every single arm of the federal gubment knows that the salad days of unlimited spending are over. The <a href="https://www.theregister.com/2025/03/24/pentagon_abandons_hr_software_overhaul/" target="_blank">Pentagon has just canceled an IT project long delayed with a 780% budget overrun.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>13) Imagine that. <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2025/03/25/a-third-of-all-dc-district-judges-were-not-born-in-united-states/" target="_blank">One-third of all D.C. judges were not born i</a>n the U.S. and five of them managed to get their hands on Trump's cases.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>14) So, this is fitting.<a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/03/25/easter-cancelled-school-so-immigrants-could-be-respected/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank"> An English school is canceling Easter to focus on immigrants.</a> Now, they really don't know what they've done, because Christians DO NOT celebrate "Easter" (.i.e., Ishtar, the rites of fertilization) but Resurrection Day. So unknowingly these chowderbrains canceled a pagan holiday.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ECONOMIC NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>15) Ed Dowd fears a <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/ed-dowd-fears-short-deep-recession-coming-doge-exposes-mind-shocking-fraud-propped-bidens?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=4296" target="_blank">"short but deep recession" as DOGE exposes "mind-shocking" levels of fraud.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>16) <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/03/25/morgan-stanley-mike-wilson-white-house-stock-market/" target="_blank">Morgan Stanley's Chief Investment Officer said that Trump "doesn't care" about the stock market</a>. Maybe in recent years too many presidents have ONLY cared about the stock market?</p><p><br /> </p><p>17) Dollar Tree is going to <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/dollar-tree-sellling-family-dollar-1-billion-private-equity/" target="_blank">sell Family Dollar for $1 billion after buying it for $8 billion ten years ago.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>18) President Trump will launch <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/donald-trump-2-90367/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">the External Revenue Service.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>19) An <a href="https://blackmon.substack.com/p/absurd-oregon-youth-climate-case?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=712558&post_id=159905999&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Oregon court bitchslapped some youts</a> who tried to say the gubment should protect them against "climate change."</p><p><br /> </p><p>20) DOGE has <a href="https://theamericantribune.com/watch-elon-and-doge-expose-untraceable-5-trillion-in-treasury-payments-no-idea-where-it-went/" target="_blank">uncovered $5 trillion in "untraceable" Treasury payments.</a> "no idea where it went."

He goes to the vet for his appointment with the Rainbow Bridge tomorrow. He's in pain much of the time with bad arthritis, cannot walk but a couple of steps without falling over, is partially blind and has doggie dementia. He has been a pain in the neck on the one hand and my best friend on the other. We used to walk miles together. One time he climbed up <i>into</i> our olive tree and tore it to shreds, convinced something was in there. When we moved from Ohio, where we had a patio deck with a giant green yard, he used to shoot out the door and leap into the yard. We forgot he didn't know we had a pool at the new Arizona house and was he surprised! Lova ya, Stan.

One time he climbed up <i>into</i> our olive tree and tore it to shreds, convinced something was in there. When we moved from Ohio, where we had a patio deck with a giant green yard, he used to shoot out the door and leap into the yard.

      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) DemoKKKrat moderate Ruy Teixeira asks <a href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/how-deep-is-the-hole-democrats-are?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=239058&post_id=159458641&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">"How Deep is the Hole the DemoKKKrats are in?" </a>And my answer is "about the size of Jupiter and growing." He is one of the few to understand they have real fundamental problems appealing to any but the porkpumper woke toids. He intuitively knows that, I think, the party's problems can only be fixed (if at all) by a full repentence, and I mean even to the point of historically acknowledging the party's role in slavery and the notion that it is fundamentally anti-Christian, anti-American, and anti-Life. That is a starting point, and I don't think even 1% can go there. And, as if to underscore my point, DemoKKKrat Party <a href="https://x.com/ExxAlerts/status/1902565291227316403" target="_blank">favorability rating dropped from 29% to 27%.</a> And on the Hill the natives are restless as some are <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/house-schumer-90219/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">calling for SpewMore to be replaced cuz he is ineffective</a>.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) DemoKKKrat moderate Ruy Teixeira asks <a href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/how-deep-is-the-hole-democrats-are?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=239058&post_id=159458641&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">"How Deep is the Hole the DemoKKKrats are in?" </a>And my answer is "about the size of Jupiter and growing." He is one of the few to understand they have real fundamental problems appealing to any but the porkpumper woke toids. He intuitively knows that, I think, the party's problems can only be fixed (if at all) by a full repentence, and I mean even to the point of historically acknowledging the party's role in slavery and the notion that it is fundamentally anti-Christian, anti-American, and anti-Life. That is a starting point, and I don't think even 1% can go there. And, as if to underscore my point, DemoKKKrat Party <a href="https://x.com/ExxAlerts/status/1902565291227316403" target="_blank">favorability rating dropped from 29% to 27%.</a> And on the Hill the natives are restless as some are <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/house-schumer-90219/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">calling for SpewMore to be replaced cuz he is ineffective</a>. (Clue: none of you podpoachers are going to be effective). And now, in one of the last holdouts---Colorado---<a href="https://x.com/PatrickRuffini/status/1902787587514966450" target="_blank">there are major R shifts going on.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Pollster Mark Penn says that Occasional Cortex's "stunt" about threatening to run for SpewMore's senate seat could <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/03/21/watch-ex-clinton-pollster-warns-aoc-that-her/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">"finish the party off."</a> Hmm. Who has been saying they are flirting with extinction?</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) How badly is Trump in these people's heads? <i>Politico</i> (the DemoKKKrat mouthpiece) worries that there are <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2025/01/31/trump-defy-constitution-third-term-00200239" target="_blank">four ways Trump could stay in for yet another term.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Republican <a href="https://x.com/QuantusInsights/status/1902770967027527796" target="_blank">John Sununu leads big in the NH 2026 senate race.

The general reaction is "Why were these ever classified?"except that JFK called Rutabaga a traitor shortly before he was killed. <a href="https://x.com/mjtruthultra/status/1902402025083523261?s=46&t=oXM3QUNDayEotvdo1W-zQA" target="_blank">Oswald's commander said he was recruited by the CIA while in Japan.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Justice Johnnie, easily the worst Chief Justice in the last 30 years<a href="https://x.com/kyledcheney/status/1902027868558758280" target="_blank">, said Congress shouldn't be impeaching bad judges</a>. No, they should impeach his sorry ass. I've had it with this porkdumpter. And Trump is <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/03/18/trump-judges-nominations-process-courts-00236800" target="_blank">already looking at a new wave of "bold and fearless" MAGA activist judges </a>who won't take Roberts' crap. Roberts doing his little dance is emboldening these ridiculous phlegmdrippers to continue their antics. The latest is<a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-judge-blocks-trumps-transgender-military-ban-2025-03-18/" target="_blank"> a judge blocking the Administration's transoid ban</a>, and <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/judge-temporarily-blocks-epa-from-canceling-climate-grants-5827850?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">another judge saying EPA can't block the grants.</a> Yeah, but they can get lost in the mail, go out with unsigned checks. There are a million and one ways to accomplish what Trump wants to accomplish while pretending to comply. Think DemoKKKrat Dixiecrats in the 50s and 60s after the Supreme Court ruling to desegregate by "all deliberate speed." Except in this case, time is totally on our side. The longer these peole are out of work, the fewer of them there are. The longer they go without funds, the more their orgs dry up. BE RUTHLESS.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) DemoKKKrats, still desperately looking for reasons that a terrible candidate (Cackles) running against a popular Republican (Trump) with no ideas of issues, lost.

      <title>Today&apos;s News, March 13-17, 2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>*This was not included in my video, but I forgot to mention that Stephen Miller outsmarted the federal judges and shipped off over 240 criminal Venezuelans before a judge could stop it. They were over international waters and have been deposited in El Salvador where President Bukele has welcomed them into his prison. The judge had a fit ordering the planes to be turned around sorta like the Duke Brothers in "Trading Places" demanding the exchange to "Turn the machines back on!"</p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_6e1bf9781cab4cfdb52b8ad70480ea42~mv2.jpeg/v1/fill/w_420,h_235,al_c,lg_1,q_80,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_6e1bf9781cab4cfdb52b8ad70480ea42~mv2.jpeg" alt="" /><p><br /> </p><p><br /> </p><p>1) I don't know how the DemoKKKrats could have a worse day. Now they wake up to find that President<a href="https://x.com/DC_Draino/status/1901601484090872053" target="_blank"> Trump decided the pardons done with the autopen are null and void.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) The DemoKKKrat Party is utterly in the toilet. A <a href="https://x.com/RyanGirdusky/status/1901281038980018304" target="_blank">recent poll shows only 7% have a "very favorable" vie</a>w, and only 29% have a "favorable" view at all of the party. These are the lowest numbers in history---well, at least since Reconstruction---of the DemoKKKrats. Nate Moore at <a href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/the-blue-state-exodus-should-scare" target="_blank">"Liberal Patriot" </a>warns the Dems are on a path to "destruction," especially after the next reapportionment (so far) likely adds another 10 GOP EVs and House members. However, keep in mind that my friend Seth Keshel ("Captain K's Corner" on substack) argues that the Census Bureau cheated the GOP out of up to 15 seats in 2020, and <i>some</i> of those could be recovered on top of the new additions. DemoKKKrats are swirling the drain. Meanwhile President Trump <a href="https://x.com/PpollingNumbers/status/1901072237890863420" target="_blank">has gained in this poll by 6, not at +10, approve over disapprove.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Ed Dowd has this interesting take on how<a href="https://x.com/DowdEdward/status/1899308260064383349" target="_blank"> the USAID money may have been used by the NGOs to play the stock market.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Trump <a href="https://x.com/ProfMJCleveland/status/1900680320183062992" target="_blank">got a surprising and big win on the DEI fires</a> from the Fourth Circuit.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Asked about <a href="https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/1901612889514873132" target="_blank">Rutabaga's acts signed by an autopen</a>, President Trump said "That would be up to a court," but he would think it should be illegal and that acts null and void.

Yeah.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>*This was not included in my video, but I forgot to mention that Stephen Miller outsmarted the federal judges and shipped off over 240 criminal Venezuelans before a judge could stop it. They were over international waters and have been deposited in El Salvador where President Bukele has welcomed them into his prison. The judge had a fit ordering the planes to be turned around sorta like the Duke Brothers in "Trading Places" demanding the exchange to "Turn the machines back on!"</p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_6e1bf9781cab4cfdb52b8ad70480ea42~mv2.jpeg/v1/fill/w_420,h_235,al_c,lg_1,q_80,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_6e1bf9781cab4cfdb52b8ad70480ea42~mv2.jpeg" alt="" /><p><br /> </p><p><br /> </p><p>1) I don't know how the DemoKKKrats could have a worse day. Now they wake up to find that President<a href="https://x.com/DC_Draino/status/1901601484090872053" target="_blank"> Trump decided the pardons done with the autopen are null and void.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) The DemoKKKrat Party is utterly in the toilet. A <a href="https://x.com/RyanGirdusky/status/1901281038980018304" target="_blank">recent poll shows only 7% have a "very favorable" vie</a>w, and only 29% have a "favorable" view at all of the party. These are the lowest numbers in history---well, at least since Reconstruction---of the DemoKKKrats. Nate Moore at <a href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/the-blue-state-exodus-should-scare" target="_blank">"Liberal Patriot" </a>warns the Dems are on a path to "destruction," especially after the next reapportionment (so far) likely adds another 10 GOP EVs and House members. However, keep in mind that my friend Seth Keshel ("Captain K's Corner" on substack) argues that the Census Bureau cheated the GOP out of up to 15 seats in 2020, and <i>some</i> of those could be recovered on top of the new additions. DemoKKKrats are swirling the drain. Meanwhile President Trump <a href="https://x.com/PpollingNumbers/status/1901072237890863420" target="_blank">has gained in this poll by 6, not at +10, approve over disapprove.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Ed Dowd has this interesting take on how<a href="https://x.com/DowdEdward/status/1899308260064383349" target="_blank"> the USAID money may have been used by the NGOs to play the stock market.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Trump <a href="https://x.com/ProfMJCleveland/status/1900680320183062992" target="_blank">got a surprising and big win on the DEI fires</a> from the Fourth Circuit.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Asked about <a href="https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/1901612889514873132" target="_blank">Rutabaga's acts signed by an autopen</a>, President Trump said "That would be up to a court," but he would think it should be illegal and that acts null and void. Man, if we get to lititating this . . . .</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Kari Lake has placed<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/1300-voice-of-america-staff-members-placed-on-leave-lake-says-agency-not-salvageable-5826441?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-03-17&src_cmp=mb-2025-03-17&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank"> 1300 Voice of America Staff on leave.</a> Good.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Lee Zeldin at the EPA has <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/epa-administration-says-20-billion-grants-to-climate-groups-are-now-terminated-5824179?autoemail=larry.schweikart%40gmail.com&utm_source=deployer&utm_medium=email&utm_content=&utm_campaign=new&utm_term=" target="_blank">canceled $20 billion in grants, causing the left to squeal.</a> It marks the "<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/epa-to-roll-back-raft-of-climate-regulations-including-ev-rule-5824377?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-03-13&src_cmp=mb-2025-03-13&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">Largest deregulatory announcement" in history.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>8) President Trump has hired a <a href="https://x.com/Inevitablewest/status/1901595396591231173" target="_blank">former SAS operator as a personal bodyguard.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>9) This is both Cultural and Transoid news, as Ryan Burge examines<a href="https://www.graphsaboutreligion.com/p/the-religiosity-of-non-gender-conforming?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1561197&post_id=156480191&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> the religiousity of the transoid community and finds they are not.

Yeah.

      <itunes:summary>In political news, Trump declared past autopen-signed pardons void, while polls show the Democratic Party at historically low favorability. Stephen Miller deported 240 Venezuelan criminals before a judge could intervene, and Trump gained a major DEI-related legal victory. Kari Lake suspended 1,300 Voice of America staff, and the EPA scrapped $20 billion in grants. In cultural updates, trans-identifying individuals show significantly lower religious affiliation, and logic-based learning is making a comeback. Economic highlights include fluctuating housing prices, Greenpeace facing lawsuits, and Trump’s drilling policies cutting inflation. Internationally, Russia secured a military victory, Congress is targeting China’s influence, and Saudi Aramco warned against abrupt energy transitions. Elon Musk revealed a cyberattack from Ukraine, and SpaceX rescued stranded astronauts. In entertainment, Michelle Obama&apos;s podcast flopped, and Disney’s Snow White remake is struggling. Finally, leaked documents confirm UK officials suspected COVID-19 originated from the Wuhan lab in 2020.</itunes:summary>

Kari Lake suspended 1,300 Voice of America staff, and the EPA scrapped $20 billion in grants. In cultural updates, trans-identifying individuals show significantly lower religious affiliation, and logic-based learning is making a comeback. Economic highlights include fluctuating housing prices, Greenpeace facing lawsuits, and Trump’s drilling policies cutting inflation. Internationally, Russia secured a military victory, Congress is targeting China’s influence, and Saudi Aramco warned against abrupt energy transitions. Elon Musk revealed a cyberattack from Ukraine, and SpaceX rescued stranded astronauts. In entertainment, Michelle Obama&apos;s podcast flopped, and Disney’s Snow White remake is struggling. Finally, leaked documents confirm UK officials suspected COVID-19 originated from the Wuhan lab in 2020.</itunes:subtitle>

When Ronald Reagan agreed to do General Electric Theater, he understood it meant his movie career was over.</p><p>Only a revolution can save "big movies." It must involve several things that, in many ways, rebuild the old "studios system." First, movies must become scarce again. Disney put its films out in theaters and nowhere else for three years before bringing them back. If you want people to "go to the movies," you have to have a product that they <i><strong>CAN ONLY GET AT THE MOVIES!</strong></i> Don't stream it and don't put it on DVD. I know this is hard, and that's why only a revolution will pull it off. Second, the movies must be an "event" sort of like a night at the opera or a show. Theaters should have strict dress codes. Snack bars should be shut five minutes before the movie begins. ANY violation of cell phones should be strictly enforced. (You say none of this would work. Of course it would, but it would be a monumental commitment). Third, movie STARS must be strictly tied to movies with "do not competes' attached to anything else except perhaps ads with studio permission. If stars indeed want to be stars, they must be aloof, out of reach, special. Hence, when they do "red carpet" events again, NOW people will turn out because it's they only time they get to see these stars. Last, the "big movies" must be great. They must appeal to everyone and aim for minimum $1 billion in sales. All of this would require a <i><strong>decade-long commitment </strong></i>from a studio and stars. What they would find is that at first people just wouldn't believe it. But then, after a movie as big as, say, "ENDGAME" goes out of theaters and no one can see it again for years? People will begin to take it seriously.

When Ronald Reagan agreed to do General Electric Theater, he understood it meant his movie career was over.</p><p>Only a revolution can save "big movies." It must involve several things that, in many ways, rebuild the old "studios system." First, movies must become scarce again. Disney put its films out in theaters and nowhere else for three years before bringing them back. If you want people to "go to the movies," you have to have a product that they <i><strong>CAN ONLY GET AT THE MOVIES!</strong></i> Don't stream it and don't put it on DVD. I know this is hard, and that's why only a revolution will pull it off. Second, the movies must be an "event" sort of like a night at the opera or a show. Theaters should have strict dress codes. Snack bars should be shut five minutes before the movie begins. ANY violation of cell phones should be strictly enforced. (You say none of this would work. Of course it would, but it would be a monumental commitment). Third, movie STARS must be strictly tied to movies with "do not competes' attached to anything else except perhaps ads with studio permission. If stars indeed want to be stars, they must be aloof, out of reach, special. Hence, when they do "red carpet" events again, NOW people will turn out because it's they only time they get to see these stars. Last, the "big movies" must be great. They must appeal to everyone and aim for minimum $1 billion in sales. All of this would require a <i><strong>decade-long commitment </strong></i>from a studio and stars. What they would find is that at first people just wouldn't believe it. But then, after a movie as big as, say, "ENDGAME" goes out of theaters and no one can see it again for years? People will begin to take it seriously.

One spasmodic lubricious insectoid of an annoyance, Cong. Green, who tried to interrupt, was given the heave-ho by the Sgt. at Arms.

HE happened. And, just like that, Zelensky <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/zelensky-after-89766/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">now says he's ready to sign a "minerals deal."</a> Meanwhile, the <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/uk-france-ukraine-agree-to-work-on-cease-fire-plan-to-present-to-us-5818634?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">UK and France agreed to work on a cease fire plan to present to the U.S</a>. after Mediocre Britain got over its skis and promised troops (It only has 18,500 total soldiers). Oh, and we now know that <a href="https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/zelensky-met-with-dems-before-he?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1119676&post_id=158254372&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Green Screen met with DemoKKKrats</a> before his implosion meeting. Yeah, always good to take advice from moronic losers. Meanwhile the Poles reiterated their position that <a href="https://x.com/ElectionWiz/status/1896278806878708119" target="_blank">they would not send troops to Ukraine.</a> Other Euros, however, are <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/european-leaders-embrace-zelensky-london-start-work-alternate-peace-plan?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=4110" target="_blank">trying to broker a peace deal with "boots on the ground." </a>Right. Mediocre Britain has a TOTAL of 18,500 army troops and fewer than 60 tanks. All of NATO has a pair of short-deck VSTOL aircraft carriers. But Britain's is in dock undergoing maintenance half the time.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>20) Amazing story about how <a href="https://istandforfreedom.com/kathie-lee-gifford-trump/?utm_source=actengage&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Trump saved Kathie Lee Gifford from a stalker</a>. during the Miss America pageant where she was hostess. Frank called Trump about the report of the stalker, Trump sent his helicopter, and provided security. The FBI got the guy.</p><p><br /> </p><p>21) As some of us expected, after an initial good opening, "<a href="https://locals.com/yellowflash/feed?post=6720066" target="_blank">Captain African American: WWF" has stalled and now is on pace to lose over $250 million</a>. Word of mouth wasn't that good.</p><p><br /> </p><p>22) <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14457139/conservative-moviemakers-films-2025-oscars-dei.html" target="_blank">Conservatives claim their movies were overlooked due to DEI</a>. I have to be very honest here. First, i didn't see, nor did I want to see, ANY of the nominated movies. So I can't tell you if they were good or not. Doubt it. Second, I did see "Reagan" and thought it was good, but not Oscar level. I did not see the "Am I Racist?" movie, but my guess is it should have been a doc nominee. By the way, Lauren Sanchez actually covered her ample breasts at the show.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>AND FINALLY . . .</h3><p>23) An <a href="https://www.euronews.com/2025/03/03/australian-man-whose-blood-donations-saved-24m-babies-dies-aged-88" target="_blank">Australian man whose blood donations saved over 2.4 million babies died at age 88.</a> Now that's a hero. 24) But Zelensky? A Zero. As a historian I can't help but wonder how other presidents would have handled Green Screen Zelensky. I think it's safe to say good-hearted Lincoln would have just smiled and tolerated him; Washington would have stared at him coldly enough to freeze a pork roast. But Andrew Jackson would have drawn his pistols and TR would have knocked Green Screen into the Rose Garden.</p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_b4c796463b824c4586a7c7853f0df35b~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_1480,h_1618,al_c,q_95,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_b4c796463b824c4586a7c7853f0df35b~mv2.png" alt="" /><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_0d374acf906b4f4e8682eff0e2078522~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_90,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_0d374acf906b4f4e8682eff0e2078522~mv2.png" alt="" />

HE happened. And, just like that, Zelensky <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/zelensky-after-89766/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">now says he's ready to sign a "minerals deal."</a> Meanwhile, the <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/uk-france-ukraine-agree-to-work-on-cease-fire-plan-to-present-to-us-5818634?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">UK and France agreed to work on a cease fire plan to present to the U.S</a>. after Mediocre Britain got over its skis and promised troops (It only has 18,500 total soldiers). Oh, and we now know that <a href="https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/zelensky-met-with-dems-before-he?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1119676&post_id=158254372&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Green Screen met with DemoKKKrats</a> before his implosion meeting. Yeah, always good to take advice from moronic losers. Meanwhile the Poles reiterated their position that <a href="https://x.com/ElectionWiz/status/1896278806878708119" target="_blank">they would not send troops to Ukraine.</a> Other Euros, however, are <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/european-leaders-embrace-zelensky-london-start-work-alternate-peace-plan?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=4110" target="_blank">trying to broker a peace deal with "boots on the ground." </a>Right. Mediocre Britain has a TOTAL of 18,500 army troops and fewer than 60 tanks. All of NATO has a pair of short-deck VSTOL aircraft carriers. But Britain's is in dock undergoing maintenance half the time.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>20) Amazing story about how <a href="https://istandforfreedom.com/kathie-lee-gifford-trump/?utm_source=actengage&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Trump saved Kathie Lee Gifford from a stalker</a>. during the Miss America pageant where she was hostess. Frank called Trump about the report of the stalker, Trump sent his helicopter, and provided security. The FBI got the guy.</p><p><br /> </p><p>21) As some of us expected, after an initial good opening, "<a href="https://locals.com/yellowflash/feed?post=6720066" target="_blank">Captain African American: WWF" has stalled and now is on pace to lose over $250 million</a>. Word of mouth wasn't that good.</p><p><br /> </p><p>22) <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14457139/conservative-moviemakers-films-2025-oscars-dei.html" target="_blank">Conservatives claim their movies were overlooked due to DEI</a>. I have to be very honest here. First, i didn't see, nor did I want to see, ANY of the nominated movies. So I can't tell you if they were good or not. Doubt it. Second, I did see "Reagan" and thought it was good, but not Oscar level. I did not see the "Am I Racist?" movie, but my guess is it should have been a doc nominee. By the way, Lauren Sanchez actually covered her ample breasts at the show.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>AND FINALLY . . .</h3><p>23) An <a href="https://www.euronews.com/2025/03/03/australian-man-whose-blood-donations-saved-24m-babies-dies-aged-88" target="_blank">Australian man whose blood donations saved over 2.4 million babies died at age 88.</a> Now that's a hero. 24) But Zelensky? A Zero. As a historian I can't help but wonder how other presidents would have handled Green Screen Zelensky. I think it's safe to say good-hearted Lincoln would have just smiled and tolerated him; Washington would have stared at him coldly enough to freeze a pork roast. But Andrew Jackson would have drawn his pistols and TR would have knocked Green Screen into the Rose Garden.</p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_b4c796463b824c4586a7c7853f0df35b~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_1480,h_1618,al_c,q_95,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_b4c796463b824c4586a7c7853f0df35b~mv2.png" alt="" /><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_0d374acf906b4f4e8682eff0e2078522~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_90,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_0d374acf906b4f4e8682eff0e2078522~mv2.png" alt="" />

      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) These libs are pretty funny. <a href="https://www.noahpinion.blog/p/how-the-democrats-can-fight-back?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=35345&post_id=157689589&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Noah Smith (NoCommonSense) has insisted DemoKKKrats can win but they must become "deficit hawks"</a> (Yeah, how'd that work out for Republicans all those years?) and ditch progressive woke ideas. That's like cutting off both legs. Oh, and embrace voter ID. Please. Let's do that. <a href="https://www.slowboring.com/p/how-were-thinking-about-covering?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=159185&post_id=157620293&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Matthew Yglesias basically wants more "resist" and "get loud"</a> at town halls. Um hmm. Over at the<a href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/how-should-democrats-respond-to-trumps?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=239058&post_id=157818824&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> "Liberal Patriot' they want to emphasize inflation</a> and the unconstitutionality of DOGE (it isn't) The problem with staking the majority of your position on being either a "deficit hawk" or inflation is that these are going to change, probably within six months. Reagan took about a year to really turn inflation around, but he turned it around. The incredible fuel/energy bonanza is coming, and will affect ALL prices, not just gas. Trump's multiple investment deals will begin to kick in by mid summer. And the phenomenal savings DOGE is finding will go a long way toward keeping the deficit down. Moreover, this just isn't a sexy issue. Republicans have been deficit hawks since Ike and it has never worked. In fact it almost always results in a deal to raise taxes, which proves more unpopular than deficits. Stay with the Harding/Coolidge/Reagan plan. Hold down spending to something reasonable (even 10% growth is acceptable) and grow your way out. Cut wherever you can. DemoKKKrats don't have a hope in hell if this is all they have. Meanwhile, in the real world, libs are in <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/fbi-freak-out-dan-bongino-named-deputy-director?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=4080" target="_blank">"Utter panic"</a> about Dan Bongino's appointment as deputy FBI director. And, see, here is another reason the "inflation/deficit" crap won't work: <a href="https://harvardharrispoll.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/HHP_Feb2025_vFinal.pdf" target="_blank">52% of Americans think DemoKKKrats left the border open intentionally.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) A <a href="https://apnews.com/article/doge-musk-judge-989e1eea65bd910dd569da3c28486b2d" target="_blank">bunionpicker judge has blocked DOGE from seeing the records of the Office of Personnel Management and the Department of Education</a> for now.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) These libs are pretty funny. <a href="https://www.noahpinion.blog/p/how-the-democrats-can-fight-back?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=35345&post_id=157689589&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Noah Smith (NoCommonSense) has insisted DemoKKKrats can win but they must become "deficit hawks"</a> (Yeah, how'd that work out for Republicans all those years?) and ditch progressive woke ideas. That's like cutting off both legs. Oh, and embrace voter ID. Please. Let's do that. <a href="https://www.slowboring.com/p/how-were-thinking-about-covering?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=159185&post_id=157620293&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Matthew Yglesias basically wants more "resist" and "get loud"</a> at town halls. Um hmm. Over at the<a href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/how-should-democrats-respond-to-trumps?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=239058&post_id=157818824&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> "Liberal Patriot' they want to emphasize inflation</a> and the unconstitutionality of DOGE (it isn't) The problem with staking the majority of your position on being either a "deficit hawk" or inflation is that these are going to change, probably within six months. Reagan took about a year to really turn inflation around, but he turned it around. The incredible fuel/energy bonanza is coming, and will affect ALL prices, not just gas. Trump's multiple investment deals will begin to kick in by mid summer. And the phenomenal savings DOGE is finding will go a long way toward keeping the deficit down. Moreover, this just isn't a sexy issue. Republicans have been deficit hawks since Ike and it has never worked. In fact it almost always results in a deal to raise taxes, which proves more unpopular than deficits. Stay with the Harding/Coolidge/Reagan plan. Hold down spending to something reasonable (even 10% growth is acceptable) and grow your way out. Cut wherever you can. DemoKKKrats don't have a hope in hell if this is all they have. Meanwhile, in the real world, libs are in <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/fbi-freak-out-dan-bongino-named-deputy-director?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=4080" target="_blank">"Utter panic"</a> about Dan Bongino's appointment as deputy FBI director. And, see, here is another reason the "inflation/deficit" crap won't work: <a href="https://harvardharrispoll.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/HHP_Feb2025_vFinal.pdf" target="_blank">52% of Americans think DemoKKKrats left the border open intentionally.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) A <a href="https://apnews.com/article/doge-musk-judge-989e1eea65bd910dd569da3c28486b2d" target="_blank">bunionpicker judge has blocked DOGE from seeing the records of the Office of Personnel Management and the Department of Education</a> for now. This won't last. Meanwhile, Trump is simply deconstructing the latter.

      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) President Trump <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-fires-joint-chiefs-of-staff-gen-chair-charles-q-brown-5814407?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-02-21-6&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-02-21-6&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">wasted no time in getting rid of Barack Obama's generals, firing the entire Joint Chiefs of Staff. </a>He replaced the chairman with a 3-star general, leapfrogging several 4-stars who were viewed as wokesters.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Leave it to <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/media/article-14427411/political-guru-predicts-trump-white-house-collapse.html" target="_blank">James Carville, the Ragin' Cajun to be wrong again. </a>One day after he said MAGA land would "collapse" in 30 days, <a href="https://harvardharrispoll.com/press-release-february-2025/" target="_blank">President Trump came in at 52% in the new Harvard-Harris poll</a>, and 42% say the country is now on the right track, up 14 points from Rutabaga. And Trump's policies? <a href="https://x.com/libsoftiktok/status/1894054431403934106/photo/1" target="_blank">Overwhelmingly popular.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>3) In what is probably Trump's/Musk's first misstep, DOGE sent out an email to all government employees asking them to list five things they did last week. The goal, as Musk said, was to weed out all those "employees" who don't really exist or who don't even bother to open their emails. <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/what-did-you-do-last-week-musk-says-federal-employees-have-until-midnight-monday-explain?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=4073" target="_blank">Except it has produced backlash among the Departments---State, DNI, FBI, DOD, and so on.</a> There are two things at work. One is a genuine concern for activities that merely by their disclosure ("I was working on a classified project") could reveal secret info. Second is the old fashioned turf war. "Who is Elon to evaluate MY employees?" You can see how quickly this sets in, even with really good people. Trump is going to have to assemble all these people in one room and clearly lay out the chain of command. I suspect Elon will lose this round, but it is a process that should be done immediately by the Departments.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) He also appointed <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/dan-bongino-to-serve-as-fbi-deputy-director-5815158?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-02-24&src_cmp=mb-2025-02-24&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">MAGA and conservative heavy hitter, Dan Bongino as deputy director of the FBI.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>5) In New York state, <a href="https://x.com/earlyvotedata/status/1892678485040132201" target="_blank">the GOP gains/DemoKKKrat losses in voter registration total 72,000</a>. Great movement, but a long way to go. New York is still about a three million D advantage, as is Kollyfornia.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) President Trump<a href="https://x.com/BehizyTweets/status/1893349105310523892" target="_blank"> killed the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau</a>, created by ComanChe (Elizabeth Warren) and all employees were told the building was closed because the lease was cancelled. This is the way.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Recently confirmed FBI Director Kash Patel <a href="https://x.com/LeadingReport/status/1893470395153449168" target="_blank">will also be temporary acting ATF director.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>8) CIA Director John Ratcliffe has been quiet. Too quiet. <a href="https://x.com/LeadingReport/status/1892724260243677191" target="_blank">Now word is that the CIA will have the largest layoffs since 1977</a>. Gooooooood. And here is a <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/agencies-federal-workers-fired/story?id=118901289" target="_blank">comprehensive list of agencies/bureaus</a> where people are getting the axe.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) Remember Veeta Vita Vindman? Yeah, <a href="https://x.com/Real_RobN/status/1893385503384469867" target="_blank">he was getting USAID money.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6x4Uk7qWRR8" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6x4Uk7qWRR8</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>10) Senator J<a href="https://x.com/LeadingReport/status/1893410459815968771" target="_blank">osh Hawley says DemoKKKrats are walking around D.C. "demoralized." </a>Good. <i>The Hill</i> reports that "<a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5158323-democrats-struggle-rebuild-party/" target="_blank">angry" DemoKKKrat donors</a> are withholding money.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) President Trump <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-fires-joint-chiefs-of-staff-gen-chair-charles-q-brown-5814407?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-02-21-6&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-02-21-6&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">wasted no time in getting rid of Barack Obama's generals, firing the entire Joint Chiefs of Staff. </a>He replaced the chairman with a 3-star general, leapfrogging several 4-stars who were viewed as wokesters.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Leave it to <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/media/article-14427411/political-guru-predicts-trump-white-house-collapse.html" target="_blank">James Carville, the Ragin' Cajun to be wrong again. </a>One day after he said MAGA land would "collapse" in 30 days, <a href="https://harvardharrispoll.com/press-release-february-2025/" target="_blank">President Trump came in at 52% in the new Harvard-Harris poll</a>, and 42% say the country is now on the right track, up 14 points from Rutabaga. And Trump's policies? <a href="https://x.com/libsoftiktok/status/1894054431403934106/photo/1" target="_blank">Overwhelmingly popular.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>3) In what is probably Trump's/Musk's first misstep, DOGE sent out an email to all government employees asking them to list five things they did last week. The goal, as Musk said, was to weed out all those "employees" who don't really exist or who don't even bother to open their emails. <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/what-did-you-do-last-week-musk-says-federal-employees-have-until-midnight-monday-explain?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=4073" target="_blank">Except it has produced backlash among the Departments---State, DNI, FBI, DOD, and so on.</a> There are two things at work. One is a genuine concern for activities that merely by their disclosure ("I was working on a classified project") could reveal secret info. Second is the old fashioned turf war. "Who is Elon to evaluate MY employees?" You can see how quickly this sets in, even with really good people. Trump is going to have to assemble all these people in one room and clearly lay out the chain of command. I suspect Elon will lose this round, but it is a process that should be done immediately by the Departments.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) He also appointed <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/dan-bongino-to-serve-as-fbi-deputy-director-5815158?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-02-24&src_cmp=mb-2025-02-24&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">MAGA and conservative heavy hitter, Dan Bongino as deputy director of the FBI.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>5) In New York state, <a href="https://x.com/earlyvotedata/status/1892678485040132201" target="_blank">the GOP gains/DemoKKKrat losses in voter registration total 72,000</a>. Great movement, but a long way to go. New York is still about a three million D advantage, as is Kollyfornia.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) President Trump<a href="https://x.com/BehizyTweets/status/1893349105310523892" target="_blank"> killed the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau</a>, created by ComanChe (Elizabeth Warren) and all employees were told the building was closed because the lease was cancelled. This is the way.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Recently confirmed FBI Director Kash Patel <a href="https://x.com/LeadingReport/status/1893470395153449168" target="_blank">will also be temporary acting ATF director.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>8) CIA Director John Ratcliffe has been quiet. Too quiet. <a href="https://x.com/LeadingReport/status/1892724260243677191" target="_blank">Now word is that the CIA will have the largest layoffs since 1977</a>. Gooooooood.

      <title>Today&apos;s News, February 18-20, 2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Probably the biggest news of the day, though not very sexy, is that President <a href="https://x.com/RodDMartin/status/1892298334200582647" target="_blank">Trump dropped an Executive Order giving the White House direct control over so called "independent" agencies, such as the SEC, FCC,</a> and so on. This is ENTIRELY CORRECT. No agency in government should be outside the direct control of the executive, unless expressly placed under the DIRECT CONTROL of Congress. You cannot have rogue agencies. "The next president will just cancel this." Really? You think ANY president would willingly give up control over agencies? Now, if Trump uses this power to drastically curtail the activities of these agencies, that action will likely never be undone. What about "Must be codified." Not sure. See Larry's Commentary over on the Wild World of Politics "Insider" for a discussion of that. (<a href="http://www.wildworldofpolitics.com/" target="_blank">www.wildworldofpolitics.com</a>)</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) I'd say that this is shocking, surprising, etc. But anymore, none of this surprises me. DOGE found that the <a href="https://x.com/LeadingReport/status/1891643384294469847" target="_blank">U.S. Treasury was shelling out $4.7 TRILLION (1/8 of the national debt) without any markers or identifiers as to where it was being spent.</a> Begin with Botoxic and Yertle's accounts. Some of it is there.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) President Trump has hit <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/trump-as-5-89511/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">his all time national high in approval of 55%</a> in a new poll.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Trump wipes their face with it: he reads off a <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1891965811956363276" target="_blank">list of people on Social Security: </a>"From 200 to 209 years old, 879 people [on Social Security]. 210 to 219 years, 866 people. From 220 years old to 229 years old, 1,039. Then, you have 2 people from 240 to 249 years old. 1 person that is 360 years old." <i>Sigh</i></p><p><br /> </p><p>5) In a major blow to DemoKKKrat lawfare, Judge <a href="https://x.com/LibTearCreator1/status/1891573975169302652" target="_blank">Chutkin refused to impose a temporary stay on DOGE and allowed it to continue all its work</a>, contra the request by the DemoKKKrat AGs. Thinking is that she feared a slapdown buy Justice Johnny at the USSC. <a href="https://x.com/TheInsiderPaper/status/1891959303826727209" target="_blank">Then she denied another emergency filing</a>. Not saying she won't cave, but she's held out longer than I expected.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Despite fear mongering from the left, <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/beltway-confidential/3320379/after-dobbs-maternal-mortality-rate-down/?utm_source=deployer&utm_medium=email&utm_content=&utm_campaign=Beltway+Confidential&utm_term=" target="_blank">the maternal mortality rate did not rise after the <i>Dobbs</i> decision.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>7) The Senate has advanced<a href="https://www.oann.com/newsroom/u-s-senate-advances-trumps-fbi-nominee-kash-patel-before-anticipated-confirmation/" target="_blank"> Kash Patel's nomination for FBI director</a> and he should be confirmed today. Speaking of Congress, they haven't done a thing but <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/americans-approval-of-congress-jumps-to-nearly-4-year-high-5813022?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">their approval has gone up 4% entirely due to Trump.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>8) The<a href="https://protrumpnews.com/irs-laying-off-over-6k-employees/" target="_blank"> IRS is laying off 6,000. </a>Great start.

First, DOGE and Trump are just firing them. Second, Congress can now withdraw any "guidance" power they had and they can't get it back without an act of Congress.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) Just as Rutabaga did with Trump's federal attorneys, so Trump has done:<a href="https://amgreatness.com/2025/02/19/morning-greatness-trump-orders-all-biden-us-attorneys-to-be-terminated/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=52196" target="_blank"> he fired all Rutabaga's attorneys.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>11) <a href="https://x.com/ElectionWiz/status/1892625390595703056" target="_blank">Yertle announced his retirement.</a></p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_67018655ec3d4989b0b6ca7d893f7fc1~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_420,h_238,al_c,lg_1,q_80,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_67018655ec3d4989b0b6ca7d893f7fc1~mv2.jpg" alt="" /><p>12) Speaking of Congress, the <a href="https://x.com/LeadingReport/status/1891652635331002530" target="_blank">House Oversight Committee found over $241 million spent on transoid surgeries for <i>animals</i>.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>13) This is truly staggering. <a href="https://x.com/ScottPresler/status/1891892207193325586" target="_blank">Scott Pressler ("the Persistence") has posted the latest numbers from Pennsylvania,</a> where the DemoKKKrats' lead is down to 89,000.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Probably the biggest news of the day, though not very sexy, is that President <a href="https://x.com/RodDMartin/status/1892298334200582647" target="_blank">Trump dropped an Executive Order giving the White House direct control over so called "independent" agencies, such as the SEC, FCC,</a> and so on. This is ENTIRELY CORRECT. No agency in government should be outside the direct control of the executive, unless expressly placed under the DIRECT CONTROL of Congress. You cannot have rogue agencies. "The next president will just cancel this." Really? You think ANY president would willingly give up control over agencies? Now, if Trump uses this power to drastically curtail the activities of these agencies, that action will likely never be undone. What about "Must be codified." Not sure. See Larry's Commentary over on the Wild World of Politics "Insider" for a discussion of that. (<a href="http://www.wildworldofpolitics.com/" target="_blank">www.wildworldofpolitics.com</a>)</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) I'd say that this is shocking, surprising, etc. But anymore, none of this surprises me. DOGE found that the <a href="https://x.com/LeadingReport/status/1891643384294469847" target="_blank">U.S. Treasury was shelling out $4.7 TRILLION (1/8 of the national debt) without any markers or identifiers as to where it was being spent.</a> Begin with Botoxic and Yertle's accounts. Some of it is there.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) President Trump has hit <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/trump-as-5-89511/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">his all time national high in approval of 55%</a> in a new poll.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Trump wipes their face with it: he reads off a <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1891965811956363276" target="_blank">list of people on Social Security: </a>"From 200 to 209 years old, 879 people [on Social Security]. 210 to 219 years, 866 people. From 220 years old to 229 years old, 1,039. Then, you have 2 people from 240 to 249 years old. 1 person that is 360 years old." <i>Sigh</i></p><p><br /> </p><p>5) In a major blow to DemoKKKrat lawfare, Judge <a href="https://x.com/LibTearCreator1/status/1891573975169302652" target="_blank">Chutkin refused to impose a temporary stay on DOGE and allowed it to continue all its work</a>, contra the request by the DemoKKKrat AGs. Thinking is that she feared a slapdown buy Justice Johnny at the USSC. <a href="https://x.com/TheInsiderPaper/status/1891959303826727209" target="_blank">Then she denied another emergency filing</a>. Not saying she won't cave, but she's held out longer than I expected.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Despite fear mongering from the left, <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/beltway-confidential/3320379/after-dobbs-maternal-mortality-rate-down/?utm_source=deployer&utm_medium=email&utm_content=&utm_campaign=Beltway+Confidential&utm_term=" target="_blank">the maternal mortality rate did not rise after the <i>Dobbs</i> decision.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>7) The Senate has advanced<a href="https://www.oann.com/newsroom/u-s-senate-advances-trumps-fbi-nominee-kash-patel-before-anticipated-confirmation/" target="_blank"> Kash Patel's nomination for FBI director</a> and he should be confirmed today. Speaking of Congress, they haven't done a thing but <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/americans-approval-of-congress-jumps-to-nearly-4-year-high-5813022?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">their approval has gone up 4% entirely due to Trump.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>8) The<a href="https://protrumpnews.com/irs-laying-off-over-6k-employees/" target="_blank"> IRS is laying off 6,000. </a>Great start.

Check out the listings in the DC area:</p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_a35e66b8a8704302861b220bd1b2c746~mv2.jpeg/v1/fill/w_815,h_599,al_c,lg_1,q_85,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_a35e66b8a8704302861b220bd1b2c746~mv2.jpeg" alt="" /><p>6) In 30 days, nearly <a href="https://x.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1890815411907674372" target="_blank">4,000 (!!) homes have been put on the market and the median home price has fallen $139,000</a>. Year over year listings in parts of northern Virginia are up more than 60%, in D.C. itself, 23%. Listings accelerated after the DOGE buyouts were announced. And there have been a surge of listings of homes over $1m. And DOGE said it will eliminate 2/3 of all office buildings in DC.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Or maybe consider this metric? Searches for "lawyers" in the District of Columbia in the last two months.</p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_7520b46946d64ee298472489d63b7883~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_680,h_597,al_c,q_85,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_7520b46946d64ee298472489d63b7883~mv2.jpg" alt="" /><p>8) DC area<a href="https://americafirstreport.com/deep-state-panic-mode-searches-erupt-for-bleachbit-wipe-hard-drive-offshore-bank-in-dc/" target="_blank"> internet searches for "BleachBit," "Offshore bank," and "wipe hard drive" explode.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>8) And how about this chart::<a href="https://x.com/BehizyTweets/status/1890922741651353810/photo/1" target="_blank"> unemployment filings in DC.</a></p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_fba71e501d8047efaa25e525de386fba~mv2.jpeg/v1/fill/w_941,h_650,al_c,q_85,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_fba71e501d8047efaa25e525de386fba~mv2.jpeg" alt="" /><p><br /> </p><p>10) Ok, where did you hear this before? I told you that we needed to review and modernize unions---they absolutely cannot be violent, and we have to have right to work laws---but there is a place for employees who want a union, and those voters are now in the GOP. Hence,<a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2025/02/14/the_realignment_gop_sen_hawley_to_introduce_pro-union_legislation__152367.html#google_vignette" target="_blank"> Sen. Josh Hawley of MO has introduced a number of modernizing elements</a> that would begin the process of turning the "rented" union voters under Trump to permanent MAGA.</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) As if DemoKKKrats weren't in bad enough shape, <a href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/indian-americans-ditch-democrats?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=239058&post_id=156882379&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">they are losing Indian-Americans.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>12) The <a href="https://x.com/JerryDunleavy/status/1890563714828456398" target="_blank">Federal Trade Commission prohibited people from holding memberships in or leadership positions in the American Bar Association.</a> Good. Conflict of interest.</p><p><br /> </p><p>13) Not surprised: the MAGA team ran <a href="https://x.com/RodDMartin/status/1890912674659148089" target="_blank">secret prep sessions with all nominees. </a>There were 200,000 calls, donors and grassroots mobilized, and Trump personally threatened to primary anyone who opposed them.</p><p><br /> </p><p>14) Republicans in Congress are (supposedly) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/republicans-move-to-repeal-act-that-restrains-presidents-control-of-congressional-funds-5809980?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-02-17&src_cmp=mb-2025-02-17&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">moving to repeal Nixon-era impoundment laws that will allow Trump legally not to spend money allocated by Congress. </a>This is the unstated version of a line item veto.</p><p><br /> </p><p>15) In an AZ "swing voter poll" (very small sample) <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/02/14/arizona-voters-trump-elon-musk-executive-orders" target="_blank">100% supported Trump, Musk, DOGE. 100%.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>16) Under the evil Rutabaga administration<a href="https://x.com/kylenabecker/status/1890762993098506650" target="_blank"> $151 million in Army food was diverted from soldiers for other uses.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>17) Oh, speaking of Rutabaga, his chief strategist,<a href="https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2025/2/14/iop-donilon-biden-democrat/" target="_blank"> Mike Donilon</a>, said the DNC "lost its mind" after the Demented Pervert's debate meltdown. This is good. It means they STILL don't understand why they lost.</p><p><br /> </p><p>18) Even though North Carolina voted for President Trump three times, it still had a slight DemoKKKrat voter registration edge. <a href="https://x.com/Five_Starrr/status/1891143613863653561" target="_blank">Last month alone Rs cut into the DemoKKKrat lead by 1600,</a> bringing their total to 32,000. It's entirely possible that NC, like PA, will be red by the end of the year, and quite likely for both by early 2026. And nationwide, liberal donors ain't too happy,<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/16/us/politics/donors-democrats-trump.html" target="_blank"> "venting at DemoKKKrats and fearing Trump,"</a> they are pulling back their cash. Gee, without that and all the government grift that DOGE is drying up, what will DemoKKKrats do?</p><p><br /> </p><p>19) "Shipwrecked Crew" has a good analysis of why the temporary restraining orders involving the firing of the guy currently holding the "Office" of special counsel (who is NOT a special council, but a mere "reporter") <a href="https://shipwreckedcrew.substack.com/p/sometimes-the-battle-is-well-worth?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=284783&post_id=157031715&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">may provide the best opportunity for Trump's legal team to squash the last hopes of the Deep State's bureaucracy.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>20) <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/02/16/democrats-losing-trump-doge-information-battle-00204522" target="_blank">DemoKKKrats conceded Trump and Musk are "running circles" around them </a>online.

Check out the listings in the DC area:</p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_a35e66b8a8704302861b220bd1b2c746~mv2.jpeg/v1/fill/w_815,h_599,al_c,lg_1,q_85,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_a35e66b8a8704302861b220bd1b2c746~mv2.jpeg" alt="" /><p>6) In 30 days, nearly <a href="https://x.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1890815411907674372" target="_blank">4,000 (!!) homes have been put on the market and the median home price has fallen $139,000</a>. Year over year listings in parts of northern Virginia are up more than 60%, in D.C. itself, 23%. Listings accelerated after the DOGE buyouts were announced. And there have been a surge of listings of homes over $1m. And DOGE said it will eliminate 2/3 of all office buildings in DC.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Or maybe consider this metric? Searches for "lawyers" in the District of Columbia in the last two months.</p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_7520b46946d64ee298472489d63b7883~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_680,h_597,al_c,q_85,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_7520b46946d64ee298472489d63b7883~mv2.jpg" alt="" /><p>8) DC area<a href="https://americafirstreport.com/deep-state-panic-mode-searches-erupt-for-bleachbit-wipe-hard-drive-offshore-bank-in-dc/" target="_blank"> internet searches for "BleachBit," "Offshore bank," and "wipe hard drive" explode.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>8) And how about this chart::<a href="https://x.com/BehizyTweets/status/1890922741651353810/photo/1" target="_blank"> unemployment filings in DC.</a></p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_fba71e501d8047efaa25e525de386fba~mv2.jpeg/v1/fill/w_941,h_650,al_c,q_85,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_fba71e501d8047efaa25e525de386fba~mv2.jpeg" alt="" /><p><br /> </p><p>10) Ok, where did you hear this before? I told you that we needed to review and modernize unions---they absolutely cannot be violent, and we have to have right to work laws---but there is a place for employees who want a union, and those voters are now in the GOP. Hence,<a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2025/02/14/the_realignment_gop_sen_hawley_to_introduce_pro-union_legislation__152367.html#google_vignette" target="_blank"> Sen. Josh Hawley of MO has introduced a number of modernizing elements</a> that would begin the process of turning the "rented" union voters under Trump to permanent MAGA.</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) As if DemoKKKrats weren't in bad enough shape, <a href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/indian-americans-ditch-democrats?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=239058&post_id=156882379&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">they are losing Indian-Americans.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>12) The <a href="https://x.com/JerryDunleavy/status/1890563714828456398" target="_blank">Federal Trade Commission prohibited people from holding memberships in or leadership positions in the American Bar Association.</a> Good. Conflict of interest.</p><p><br /> </p><p>13) Not surprised: the MAGA team ran <a href="https://x.com/RodDMartin/status/1890912674659148089" target="_blank">secret prep sessions with all nominees. </a>There were 200,000 calls, donors and grassroots mobilized, and Trump personally threatened to primary anyone who opposed them.</p><p><br /> </p><p>14) Republicans in Congress are (supposedly) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/republicans-move-to-repeal-act-that-restrains-presidents-control-of-congressional-funds-5809980?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-02-17&src_cmp=mb-2025-02-17&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">moving to repeal Nixon-era impoundment laws that will allow Trump legally not to spend money allocated by Congress. </a>This is the unstated version of a line item veto.</p><p><br /> </p><p>15) In an AZ "swing voter poll" (very small sample) <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/02/14/arizona-voters-trump-elon-musk-executive-orders" target="_blank">100% supported Trump, Musk, DOGE. 100%.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>16) Under the evil Rutabaga administration<a href="https://x.com/kylenabecker/status/1890762993098506650" target="_blank"> $151 million in Army food was diverted from soldiers for other uses.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>17) Oh, speaking of Rutabaga, his chief strategist,<a href="https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2025/2/14/iop-donilon-biden-democrat/" target="_blank"> Mike Donilon</a>, said the DNC "lost its mind" after the Demented Pervert's debate meltdown. This is good. It means they STILL don't understand why they lost.</p><p><br /> </p><p>18) Even though North Carolina voted for President Trump three times, it still had a slight DemoKKKrat voter registration edge. <a href="https://x.com/Five_Starrr/status/1891143613863653561" target="_blank">Last month alone Rs cut into the DemoKKKrat lead by 1600,</a> bringing their total to 32,000. It's entirely possible that NC, like PA, will be red by the end of the year, and quite likely for both by early 2026. And nationwide, liberal donors ain't too happy,<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/16/us/politics/donors-democrats-trump.html" target="_blank"> "venting at DemoKKKrats and fearing Trump,"</a> they are pulling back their cash. Gee, without that and all the government grift that DOGE is drying up, what will DemoKKKrats do?</p><p><br /> </p><p>19) "Shipwrecked Crew" has a good analysis of why the temporary restraining orders involving the firing of the guy currently holding the "Office" of special counsel (who is NOT a special council, but a mere "reporter") <a href="https://shipwreckedcrew.substack.com/p/sometimes-the-battle-is-well-worth?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=284783&post_id=157031715&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">may provide the best opportunity for Trump's legal team to squash the last hopes of the Deep State's bureaucracy.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>20) <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/02/16/democrats-losing-trump-doge-information-battle-00204522" target="_blank">DemoKKKrats conceded Trump and Musk are "running circles" around them </a>online.

Reagan did this is you recall. Gorby thought he had him: Gorby proposed a 50% cut in all nukes, but with no SDI. Reagan countered:</p><p>"Well, how about 100%? Only week keep SDI."

Reagan did this is you recall. Gorby thought he had him: Gorby proposed a 50% cut in all nukes, but with no SDI. Reagan countered:</p><p>"Well, how about 100%? Only week keep SDI." Gorby said no, Reagan literally folded his binder and left, and Gorby trotted after him yelling "Mr. President, what else could I say?" Reagan---who seldom got angry---turned and scowled at him and said, "You could have said yes" and walked off. Gorby surrendered to big cuts without SDI soon after that, and within five years the USSR was on the dustbin of history.</p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_f02db3d385cb4b0c8ba7fee269efd9c9~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_273,h_410,al_c,lg_1,q_80,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_f02db3d385cb4b0c8ba7fee269efd9c9~mv2.jpg" alt="" /><p>2) Meanwhile, in the trade wars,<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/today-is-the-big-one-trump-set-to-sign-sweeping-reciprocal-tariffs-5809519?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-02-14&src_cmp=mb-2025-02-14&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank"> President Trump enacted his tariffs to offset global trade barriers</a>.

      <title>Today&apos;s News, February 8-10, 2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) There will be a battle of the judges for a while until or unless President Trump just goes all Andrew Johnson on them and directly violates one of these orders and says, in essence, "Impeach me." If Congress doesn't, all this ends. <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/federal-judge-denies-motion-to-block-doges-access-to-labor-department-systems-5806532?utm_source=Goodevening&src_src=Goodevening&utm_campaign=gv-2025-02-08&src_cmp=gv-2025-02-08&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5ZwpC2sLA%2B7YHtWRLH5R9xkIHK2cN2s6OsMvn4fLQH7QYRE5kM7gr" target="_blank">This judge, meanwhile, refused to block DOGE's access to the Labor Departmen</a>t. As I keep saying, they are moving sooooooo fast that libs can't mobilize to stop them. For example, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-signs-memorandum-directing-review-of-federal-funding-for-ngos-5806109?utm_source=Goodevening&src_src=Goodevening&utm_campaign=gv-2025-02-07&src_cmp=gv-2025-02-07&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5ZwpC2sLA%2B7YHtWRLH5R9xkIHK2cN2s6OsMvn4fLQH7QYRE5kM7gr" target="_blank">President Trump signed an executive order directing an investigation of the funding of all NGOs</a>. Good. Most so-called charities are fronts for illegal immigration or marxist terror groups.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1888597337242534096" target="_blank">CBS---the Communist Broadcast System---has a new poll out with Trump at his highest ever in their poll, 53%</a>. Think that $20 billion suit on their Cackles interview had anything to do with that? Meanwhile <a href="https://x.com/EndWokeness/status/1888602133915718085" target="_blank">70% say Trump is keeping his campaign promises.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Meanwhile, to show how hopeless the attempt to stop Elon and DOGE is, they <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/musk-says-doge-treasury-agree-on-new-anti-fraud-measures-to-claw-back-50-billion-in-payment-fraud-5806765?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">just agreed with the Treasury on new anti-fraud measures</a> that will save $50 billion. And it is estimated that nearly <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1888321807306121623" target="_blank">ONE QUARTER of Treasury funds</a> are involved in fraudulent spending.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) And while he and DOGE are destroying the Deep State in its public persona, Trump is assaulting the Hoax News media privately, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/business/trump-doubles-cbs-lawsuit-damages-to-20-billion-over-harriss-60-minutes-interview-5806688?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">now upping his monetary damages sought from CBS for its phony Cackles interview (election fraud) to $20 billion.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>5) I heard the sound of a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of libtards were crying out in terror: <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/02/09/elon-musk-considers-tapping-ron-paul-lead-doge/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">Musk may tab Ron Paul to head an audit of the Federal Reserve</a>. This is like having having Steve Kisch audit Dr. Fallacy's accounts. Oh, and <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1888484555092312466" target="_blank">Musk learned that the Social Security data base is not duplicate proof, meaning you can have several accounts.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>6) President Trump has<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-revokes-joe-bidens-security-clearance-bars-him-from-receiving-intelligence-briefings-5806401?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-02-07-5&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-02-07-5&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank"> revoked the security clearance for Rutabaga as well as a host of evil scabmagnets such as John Brennan</a>, Jake Sullivan, Letitia James, Norm Eisen and just about anyone else who never had any business holding a security clearance.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Just how gone is USAID? <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/02/08/update-usaids-headquarters-dc-just-lost-their-lease/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">Their office in D.C. has been handed over to the U.S. Border Patrol,</a> which will need the space. They actually do something positive.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) <a href="https://amgreatness.com/2025/02/07/musk-says-canceled-doge-employee-will-be-rehired/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=50076" target="_blank">Remember that DOGE employee who was canceled</a> because he dared write about eugenics? He's baaa-ack.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) Imitation is the greatest form of flattery, but stealing gets old. Just last week I said that Trump was not out just to overturn Rutabaga's four years. He was after the New Deal. Now, Brit <a href="https://www.thetimes.com/comment/columnists/article/trumps-new-deal-100-days-to-reverse-the-legacy-of-fdr-xtjg2xhpr" target="_blank">historian Niall Ferguson echoes my comments.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>10) Secretary of State Muy Macho Marco <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/rubio-presses-panamanian-leaders-for-immediate-changes-on-chinese-influence-over-canal-5803006?utm_source=China&src_src=China&utm_campaign=uschina-2025-02-09&src_cmp=uschina-2025-02-09&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5ZwpC2sLA%2B7YHtWRLH5R9xkIHK2cN2s6OsMvn4fLQH7QYRE5kM7gr" target="_blank">demanded that Panama reduce ChiCom control over the Canal or the U.S. will act.</a> </p><p><br /> </p><p>11) Very important for 2026 as well as for current Trumpian support: The GOP continues to outpace DemoKKKrats in registrations. <a href="https://x.com/Five_Starrr/status/1888351425320608244" target="_blank">In Arizona, where Rs gained net 20,000 more in December,</a> they have now added another 18,000 in January including 8,300 in Maricopa Co. and in deep blue Pima Co. net gained almost 1200. By the way, there is a <i>very</i> important under-the-radar vote coming next year for the Salt River Project directors. SRP controls about half of Maricopa County's water and power. If libs control these seats, it will be green feces all the way.</p><p><br /> </p><p>12) More hideous stories out of <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/usaid-funded-massive-global-state-propaganda-news-matrix-nearly-billion-people-reach?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=3990" target="_blank">the monster called USAID as it funded a massive international news industrial cartel</a> to spread lies. Reduce this agency to ashes. Do not leave one office standing.</p><p><br /> </p><p>13) After it was revealed that the <a href="https://x.com/amuse/status/1888301186849059066?s=46&t=oXM3QUNDayEotvdo1W-zQA" target="_blank">guy New Calcutta (LA) mayor Karen ASS hired to oversee the fire cleanup was going to make $500,000</a>, the outcry (led by Trump's oversight guy Ric Grennell) caused him to refuse to take a salary. This is the way.</p><p><br /> </p><p>14) My favorite lib, Noah Smith, finally said something worth repeating after several weeks of Trump harrumphing. He thinks the <a href="https://www.noahpinion.blog/p/what-i-think-doge-is-really-up-to?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=35345&post_id=156831627&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">true intent of DOGE is to change the ideological character of the bureaucracy</a>. Yeah, works for me, though now I must scrutinize everything this Trump Harrumpher says because he so badly missed the election. Good news? They STILL DON'T GET IT. Another example here, as <a href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/is-elon-the-political-punching-bag?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=239058&post_id=156480434&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Nate Moore in "The Liberal Patriot" focuses on Musk's "approval ratings</a>", like focusing on Patton's approval ratings.</p><p><br /> </p><p>15) Well, that's nice. <a href="https://x.com/DerrickEvans4WV/status/1888435146828955724" target="_blank">Planned Murderhood will lose $61 million due to President Trump's executive order.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>16) Trump has also ordered the <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/02/08/us-news/trump-ordered-secret-service-to-provide-every-bit-of-information-on-would-be-assassins/" target="_blank">Secret Service to provide "every bit of information" they have on the two would-be assassins.</a> And now we have word of <a href="https://x.com/bennyjohnson/status/1888666114055377357" target="_blank">two other possible assassination attempts on President Trump during the campaign.</a> Think that had anything to do with the Super Bowl commercial?</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>17) Muy Macho Marco secured <a href="https://istandforfreedom.com/rubio-guatemala-deportation-us/?utm_source=actengage&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">a new deal with Guatemala</a> to take back the illegal criminals.</p><p><br /> </p><p>18) President Trump needs to end this yesterday: the <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1888891512303263815" target="_blank">DOGE team discovered nearly $60 million of FEMA funds meant for North Carolina diverted to illegal criminal alien hotels in New York! </a>Musk said all such payments have now been suspended.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>19) Great piece by <a href="https://christopherrufo.com/p/how-trump-can-make-universities-great?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1248321&post_id=156576921&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Christopher Rufo on how Trump can make universities great again</a>. He leaves out one important element: we must defund the semi-pro athletic complex and its multi-billion dollar funding of the woke humanities. Pay the athletes, or better yet, no athletic scholarships at all. Turn all college sports into intramurals.</p><p><br /> </p><p>20) From Ryan Burge, every single US denomination took about a big hit from the China Virus, but the<a href="https://www.graphsaboutreligion.com/p/is-there-any-large-protestant-denomination?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1561197&post_id=154108436&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> only one</a> that has started to grow again, though in small numbers, is the Assemblies of God. You know.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) There will be a battle of the judges for a while until or unless President Trump just goes all Andrew Johnson on them and directly violates one of these orders and says, in essence, "Impeach me." If Congress doesn't, all this ends. <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/federal-judge-denies-motion-to-block-doges-access-to-labor-department-systems-5806532?utm_source=Goodevening&src_src=Goodevening&utm_campaign=gv-2025-02-08&src_cmp=gv-2025-02-08&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5ZwpC2sLA%2B7YHtWRLH5R9xkIHK2cN2s6OsMvn4fLQH7QYRE5kM7gr" target="_blank">This judge, meanwhile, refused to block DOGE's access to the Labor Departmen</a>t. As I keep saying, they are moving sooooooo fast that libs can't mobilize to stop them. For example, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-signs-memorandum-directing-review-of-federal-funding-for-ngos-5806109?utm_source=Goodevening&src_src=Goodevening&utm_campaign=gv-2025-02-07&src_cmp=gv-2025-02-07&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5ZwpC2sLA%2B7YHtWRLH5R9xkIHK2cN2s6OsMvn4fLQH7QYRE5kM7gr" target="_blank">President Trump signed an executive order directing an investigation of the funding of all NGOs</a>. Good. Most so-called charities are fronts for illegal immigration or marxist terror groups.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1888597337242534096" target="_blank">CBS---the Communist Broadcast System---has a new poll out with Trump at his highest ever in their poll, 53%</a>. Think that $20 billion suit on their Cackles interview had anything to do with that? Meanwhile <a href="https://x.com/EndWokeness/status/1888602133915718085" target="_blank">70% say Trump is keeping his campaign promises.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Meanwhile, to show how hopeless the attempt to stop Elon and DOGE is, they <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/musk-says-doge-treasury-agree-on-new-anti-fraud-measures-to-claw-back-50-billion-in-payment-fraud-5806765?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">just agreed with the Treasury on new anti-fraud measures</a> that will save $50 billion. And it is estimated that nearly <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1888321807306121623" target="_blank">ONE QUARTER of Treasury funds</a> are involved in fraudulent spending.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) And while he and DOGE are destroying the Deep State in its public persona, Trump is assaulting the Hoax News media privately, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/business/trump-doubles-cbs-lawsuit-damages-to-20-billion-over-harriss-60-minutes-interview-5806688?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">now upping his monetary damages sought from CBS for its phony Cackles interview (election fraud) to $20 billion.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>5) I heard the sound of a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of libtards were crying out in terror: <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/02/09/elon-musk-considers-tapping-ron-paul-lead-doge/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">Musk may tab Ron Paul to head an audit of the Federal Reserve</a>. This is like having having Steve Kisch audit Dr. Fallacy's accounts. Oh, and <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1888484555092312466" target="_blank">Musk learned that the Social Security data base is not duplicate proof, meaning you can have several accounts.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>6) President Trump has<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-revokes-joe-bidens-security-clearance-bars-him-from-receiving-intelligence-briefings-5806401?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-02-07-5&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-02-07-5&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank"> revoked the security clearance for Rutabaga as well as a host of evil scabmagnets such as John Brennan</a>, Jake Sullivan, Letitia James, Norm Eisen and just about anyone else who never had any business holding a security clearance.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Just how gone is USAID? <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/02/08/update-usaids-headquarters-dc-just-lost-their-lease/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">Their office in D.C. has been handed over to the U.S. Border Patrol,</a> which will need the space. They actually do something positive.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) <a href="https://amgreatness.com/2025/02/07/musk-says-canceled-doge-employee-will-be-rehired/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=50076" target="_blank">Remember that DOGE employee who was canceled</a> because he dared write about eugenics? He's baaa-ack.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) Imitation is the greatest form of flattery, but stealing gets old. Just last week I said that Trump was not out just to overturn Rutabaga's four years. He was after the New Deal. Now, Brit <a href="https://www.thetimes.com/comment/columnists/article/trumps-new-deal-100-days-to-reverse-the-legacy-of-fdr-xtjg2xhpr" target="_blank">historian Niall Ferguson echoes my comments.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>10) Secretary of State Muy Macho Marco <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/rubio-presses-panamanian-leaders-for-immediate-changes-on-chinese-influence-over-canal-5803006?utm_source=China&src_src=China&utm_campaign=uschina-2025-02-09&src_cmp=uschina-2025-02-09&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5ZwpC2sLA%2B7YHtWRLH5R9xkIHK2cN2s6OsMvn4fLQH7QYRE5kM7gr" target="_blank">demanded that Panama reduce ChiCom control over the Canal or the U.S. will act.</a> </p><p><br /> </p><p>11) Very important for 2026 as well as for current Trumpian support: The GOP continues to outpace DemoKKKrats in registrations. <a href="https://x.com/Five_Starrr/status/1888351425320608244" target="_blank">In Arizona, where Rs gained net 20,000 more in December,</a> they have now added another 18,000 in January including 8,300 in Maricopa Co. and in deep blue Pima Co. net gained almost 1200. By the way, there is a <i>very</i> important under-the-radar vote coming next year for the Salt River Project directors. SRP controls about half of Maricopa County's water and power. If libs control these seats, it will be green feces all the way.</p><p><br /> </p><p>12) More hideous stories out of <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/usaid-funded-massive-global-state-propaganda-news-matrix-nearly-billion-people-reach?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=3990" target="_blank">the monster called USAID as it funded a massive international news industrial cartel</a> to spread lies. Reduce this agency to ashes. Do not leave one office standing.</p><p><br /> </p><p>13) After it was revealed that the <a href="https://x.com/amuse/status/1888301186849059066?s=46&t=oXM3QUNDayEotvdo1W-zQA" target="_blank">guy New Calcutta (LA) mayor Karen ASS hired to oversee the fire cleanup was going to make $500,000</a>, the outcry (led by Trump's oversight guy Ric Grennell) caused him to refuse to take a salary. This is the way.</p><p><br /> </p><p>14) My favorite lib, Noah Smith, finally said something worth repeating after several weeks of Trump harrumphing. He thinks the <a href="https://www.noahpinion.blog/p/what-i-think-doge-is-really-up-to?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=35345&post_id=156831627&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">true intent of DOGE is to change the ideological character of the bureaucracy</a>. Yeah, works for me, though now I must scrutinize everything this Trump Harrumpher says because he so badly missed the election. Good news? They STILL DON'T GET IT. Another example here, as <a href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/is-elon-the-political-punching-bag?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=239058&post_id=156480434&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Nate Moore in "The Liberal Patriot" focuses on Musk's "approval ratings</a>", like focusing on Patton's approval ratings.</p><p><br /> </p><p>15) Well, that's nice. <a href="https://x.com/DerrickEvans4WV/status/1888435146828955724" target="_blank">Planned Murderhood will lose $61 million due to President Trump's executive order.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>16) Trump has also ordered the <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/02/08/us-news/trump-ordered-secret-service-to-provide-every-bit-of-information-on-would-be-assassins/" target="_blank">Secret Service to provide "every bit of information" they have on the two would-be assassins.</a> And now we have word of <a href="https://x.com/bennyjohnson/status/1888666114055377357" target="_blank">two other possible assassination attempts on President Trump during the campaign.</a> Think that had anything to do with the Super Bowl commercial?</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>17) Muy Macho Marco secured <a href="https://istandforfreedom.com/rubio-guatemala-deportation-us/?utm_source=actengage&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">a new deal with Guatemala</a> to take back the illegal criminals.</p><p><br /> </p><p>18) President Trump needs to end this yesterday: the <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1888891512303263815" target="_blank">DOGE team discovered nearly $60 million of FEMA funds meant for North Carolina diverted to illegal criminal alien hotels in New York! </a>Musk said all such payments have now been suspended.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>19) Great piece by <a href="https://christopherrufo.com/p/how-trump-can-make-universities-great?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1248321&post_id=156576921&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Christopher Rufo on how Trump can make universities great again</a>. He leaves out one important element: we must defund the semi-pro athletic complex and its multi-billion dollar funding of the woke humanities. Pay the athletes, or better yet, no athletic scholarships at all. Turn all college sports into intramurals.</p><p><br /> </p><p>20) From Ryan Burge, every single US denomination took about a big hit from the China Virus, but the<a href="https://www.graphsaboutreligion.com/p/is-there-any-large-protestant-denomination?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1561197&post_id=154108436&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> only one</a> that has started to grow again, though in small numbers, is the Assemblies of God. You know. Holy Rollers.</p><p><br /> </p><p>21) Trump said he would <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-says-he-will-fire-kennedy-centers-trustees-name-himself-new-chairman-5806362?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">fire the Kennedy Center trustees,</a> make himself the new chairman until he finds some non-woke person to take over.

      <title>Today&apos;s News, February 7, 2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) In truly blockbuster news, DOGE's USAID releases showed that the DemoKKKrat hive <i>Politico</i> was propped up by millions of dollars of USAID money. The media attempted to portray this as only a few thousand in "subscriptions." <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/politico-ny-times-propped-millions-dollars-us-government?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=3977" target="_blank"><i>Politico</i> received $27 million from gubment agencies in the Rutabaga years</a>. Seriously? Even the older swimsuit editions of <i>Sports Illustrated</i>---you know where they had really hot, really real women, didn't go for those kinds of rates. The left called this a "conspiracy theory" and yet there were <a href="https://x.com/kylenabecker/status/1887576883673338201" target="_blank"><i>millions of dollars of gubment contracts</i></a><i> for the NYSlimes, Politico, the Washington Compost</i>, and others. Meanwhile, DOGE sent <a href="https://x.com/LeadingReport/status/1887886732097433604" target="_blank">termination notices to over 9,400 USAID "employees" </a>who did nothing but spend taxpayer money.</p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_299a962fc55f4f0e979b3c1d18e3403a~mv2.webp/v1/fill/w_884,h_837,al_c,q_85,enc_auto/221b12_299a962fc55f4f0e979b3c1d18e3403a~mv2.webp" alt="" /><p>2) Oh, and DemoKKKrats squealing about DOGE getting access to U.S. Treasury computers? Hmm. Forget this? <a href="https://x.com/amuse/status/1887218902381289510" target="_blank">In December the ChiComs had access to EVERY Treasury Department workstation and they didn't say a word.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>3) The number of federal employees who have accepted President Trump's buyout offer<a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/02/05/update-40000-federal-employees-accept-buyout-offer-as/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank"> is now 40,000.</a> (One update now says 60,000) Good, but add a zero. Now a judge has put a hold on the buyouts---I don't think realizing what he did. Trump will proceed to fire them. Meanwhile,<a href="https://www.westernjournal.com/equal-employment-agency-employees-openly-revolting-trump-report/?utm_source=site&utm_medium=aggregator10&utm_campaign=can" target="_blank"> staffers in the Equal Opportunity Orifice</a> are whining about Trump's new gender orders.

Sen. Chris Murphy says if they don't stop Trump soon <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2025/02/05/murphy-we-are-reaching-tipping-point-wont-be-able-to-get-democracy-back/" target="_blank">we "won't be able to get democracy back,"</a> by which he means their corrupt, marxist, pigs-at-a-trough siphoning of taxpayer money back. And I guess "getting your democracy back" might get tougher now that <a href="https://x.com/charliekirk11/status/1887892530672660681" target="_blank">Russ Vought has been confirmed as Office of Management and Budget secretary.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>5) An <a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/02/bombshell-michael-shellenberger-exposes-shocking-usaid-cia-connections/" target="_blank">organization run under USAID and working with a CIA so-called "whistleblower" provided the false background to the first Trump impeachment. </a>Snakes. All of 'em.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) I didn't catch, or didn't appreciate, that <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/national-security/the-cia-is-about-to-get-a-trump-makeover-16fc0cbf?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_blank">Trump offered a buyout of every single member of the CIA</a>. I dunno, should that come with a pardon?</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) After holding out, walking out, and staging all sorts of other games,<a href="https://www.americanexperiment.org/house-democrats-cave-under-pressure-demuth-becomes-permanent-speaker/?utm_source=ActiveCampaign&utm_medium=email&utm_content=House%20Democrats%20Cave%2C%20Demuth%20Becomes%20Permanent%20Speaker&utm_campaign=Friday%20Newsletter%202%2F7%2F25&vgo_ee=jdh3xAWeiiujyySD8o6IyFh4OvORADcJ3z8sH0MK3cVzHErGBd8ZQ7E%3D%3ABko7BSAeKhXSAbaaJ6Vkqv3GzmxTuKiJ" target="_blank"> Minnesota House DemoKKKrats finally bowed to the inevitable and acknowledged the GOP majority with speaker Lisa Demuth.</a> <br /> </p><p>8) Trump's team is set to investigate the "worst managed project" in America, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-says-he-will-investigate-californias-high-speed-rail-project-5804366?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-02-06-1&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-02-06-1&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">Kollyfornia's high speed rail that goes nowhere.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>9) Long-time DemoKKKrat operative <a href="https://dailycallernewsfoundation.org/2025/02/05/so-pathetic-long-time-dem-operative-says-dems-fear-trumps-success-as-theyll-have-nothing-to-sell-to-the-public/" target="_blank">Julian Epstein says DemoKKKrats fear Trump's success as they will have nothing to run on.</a> Psst. gigglepickle: They don't have anything to run on now.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) In truly blockbuster news, DOGE's USAID releases showed that the DemoKKKrat hive <i>Politico</i> was propped up by millions of dollars of USAID money. The media attempted to portray this as only a few thousand in "subscriptions." <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/politico-ny-times-propped-millions-dollars-us-government?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=3977" target="_blank"><i>Politico</i> received $27 million from gubment agencies in the Rutabaga years</a>. Seriously? Even the older swimsuit editions of <i>Sports Illustrated</i>---you know where they had really hot, really real women, didn't go for those kinds of rates. The left called this a "conspiracy theory" and yet there were <a href="https://x.com/kylenabecker/status/1887576883673338201" target="_blank"><i>millions of dollars of gubment contracts</i></a><i> for the NYSlimes, Politico, the Washington Compost</i>, and others. Meanwhile, DOGE sent <a href="https://x.com/LeadingReport/status/1887886732097433604" target="_blank">termination notices to over 9,400 USAID "employees" </a>who did nothing but spend taxpayer money.</p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_299a962fc55f4f0e979b3c1d18e3403a~mv2.webp/v1/fill/w_884,h_837,al_c,q_85,enc_auto/221b12_299a962fc55f4f0e979b3c1d18e3403a~mv2.webp" alt="" /><p>2) Oh, and DemoKKKrats squealing about DOGE getting access to U.S. Treasury computers? Hmm. Forget this? <a href="https://x.com/amuse/status/1887218902381289510" target="_blank">In December the ChiComs had access to EVERY Treasury Department workstation and they didn't say a word.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>3) The number of federal employees who have accepted President Trump's buyout offer<a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/02/05/update-40000-federal-employees-accept-buyout-offer-as/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank"> is now 40,000.</a> (One update now says 60,000) Good, but add a zero. Now a judge has put a hold on the buyouts---I don't think realizing what he did. Trump will proceed to fire them. Meanwhile,<a href="https://www.westernjournal.com/equal-employment-agency-employees-openly-revolting-trump-report/?utm_source=site&utm_medium=aggregator10&utm_campaign=can" target="_blank"> staffers in the Equal Opportunity Orifice</a> are whining about Trump's new gender orders. Good. Quit. <a href="https://x.com/grayzoneintel/status/1884649571864756351" target="_blank">This writer calls these actions an existential crisis for establishment elites.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>4) This is really good news. Sen. Chris Murphy says if they don't stop Trump soon <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2025/02/05/murphy-we-are-reaching-tipping-point-wont-be-able-to-get-democracy-back/" target="_blank">we "won't be able to get democracy back,"</a> by which he means their corrupt, marxist, pigs-at-a-trough siphoning of taxpayer money back. And I guess "getting your democracy back" might get tougher now that <a href="https://x.com/charliekirk11/status/1887892530672660681" target="_blank">Russ Vought has been confirmed as Office of Management and Budget secretary.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>5) An <a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/02/bombshell-michael-shellenberger-exposes-shocking-usaid-cia-connections/" target="_blank">organization run under USAID and working with a CIA so-called "whistleblower" provided the false background to the first Trump impeachment. </a>Snakes. All of 'em.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) I didn't catch, or didn't appreciate, that <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/national-security/the-cia-is-about-to-get-a-trump-makeover-16fc0cbf?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_blank">Trump offered a buyout of every single member of the CIA</a>. I dunno, should that come with a pardon?</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) After holding out, walking out, and staging all sorts of other games,<a href="https://www.americanexperiment.org/house-democrats-cave-under-pressure-demuth-becomes-permanent-speaker/?utm_source=ActiveCampaign&utm_medium=email&utm_content=House%20Democrats%20Cave%2C%20Demuth%20Becomes%20Permanent%20Speaker&utm_campaign=Friday%20Newsletter%202%2F7%2F25&vgo_ee=jdh3xAWeiiujyySD8o6IyFh4OvORADcJ3z8sH0MK3cVzHErGBd8ZQ7E%3D%3ABko7BSAeKhXSAbaaJ6Vkqv3GzmxTuKiJ" target="_blank"> Minnesota House DemoKKKrats finally bowed to the inevitable and acknowledged the GOP majority with speaker Lisa Demuth.</a> <br /> </p><p>8) Trump's team is set to investigate the "worst managed project" in America, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-says-he-will-investigate-californias-high-speed-rail-project-5804366?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-02-06-1&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-02-06-1&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">Kollyfornia's high speed rail that goes nowhere.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>9) Long-time DemoKKKrat operative <a href="https://dailycallernewsfoundation.org/2025/02/05/so-pathetic-long-time-dem-operative-says-dems-fear-trumps-success-as-theyll-have-nothing-to-sell-to-the-public/" target="_blank">Julian Epstein says DemoKKKrats fear Trump's success as they will have nothing to run on.</a> Psst. gigglepickle: They don't have anything to run on now. Even the <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2025/02/04/democrats-foreign-aid-trap-trump-00202447" target="_blank">gubment-funded <i>Politico</i></a> says DemoKKKrats are falling into Trump's trap: "Trump’s orbit, meanwhile, couldn’t be happier seeing Democratic lawmakers lined up on a downtown Washington sidewalk Monday."</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) Good. <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/coalition-of-22-states-sue-new-york-attorney-general-over-climate-superfund-law-5806046?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-02-07-4&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-02-07-4&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">Some 22 states to sue this Bi you know what over New York's climate "superfund" law that is targeting oil companies, especially in light of the NJ ruling below </a>Wipe this woman out financially.

      <itunes:summary>In political news, revelations about USAID funding exposed that Politico received $27 million in taxpayer money during the Biden administration, contradicting media claims of minimal government support. Meanwhile, President Trump’s buyout program for federal employees has seen over 60,000 departures, though a judge temporarily halted it. Senate Democrats fear Trump’s growing success, and his administration is investigating California’s troubled high-speed rail project. Lawsuits are mounting against climate policies, including a New Jersey case dismissed with prejudice, and Target faces legal action over DEI-related fraud. On the cultural front, Trump established a task force against anti-Christian bias, and Ivy League women sued over trans-inclusive policies. The EV industry struggles, with Ford posting losses and federal funding for chargers paused. Internationally, green energy initiatives falter without subsidies, and Nissan suspended merger talks with Honda. The Grammys ditched Boomer acts, and mortality rates among vaccinated young adults surged 35% per a new study. Finally, a study suggests that when people look at a woman’s butt, their gaze first lands on the crack—perhaps expecting money to fall out.</itunes:summary>

      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) It literally <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-pauses-tariffs-on-mexico-and-canada-after-border-agreements-reached-5803681?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-02-04&src_cmp=mb-2025-02-04&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">only took days for the threat of President Trump's tariffs to force change in Canada and Mexico</a>. Both nation's leaders called Trump, backed down, agreed to engage in substantial beefing up of border security. The 10% tariff on Chy-na remains in place and thus<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/china/trump-to-speak-with-chinas-xi-in-days-white-house-says-5803597?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-02-04&src_cmp=mb-2025-02-04&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank"> Xi hustled to get a meeing with Trump</a>. Meanwhile, El Salvador, with its brilliant young president Nayih Bukele, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/rubio-says-el-salvador-agrees-to-take-in-us-deportees-prisoners-5803758?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-02-04&src_cmp=mb-2025-02-04&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">has agreed to accept violent illegal American criminals in its jails</a> in a sort of international outsourcing. Hey, if Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos are successful with their space rockets, maybe we can turn Mars into Prison Planet? You know, we'll keep working on that oxygen thing . . . .</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) By far the most explosive thing to happen in the young Trump II administration is the uncovering of the rat's nest at USAID. For now, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/secretary-of-state-rubio-confirms-hes-now-acting-usaid-chief-5803435?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-02-04&src_cmp=mb-2025-02-04&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">Secretary of State Marco Rubio is in charge</a>. I never dreamed he'd be this good in his SoS position---and I'm sure those who confirmed him easily didn't either and now regret it. Anyway, USAID expenditures are revealing a massive U.S. gubment slush fund that not only was bribing our "allies" but was giving huge kickbacks to Americans in gubment. And (see picture below) funding terrorist enemies. This will go down as a bigger gument scandal than Teapot Dome, the Tweed Ring, or the Gold Corner. And almost as YUGE in impact <a href="https://x.com/nicksortor/status/1886549115565174962" target="_blank">President Trump expected to sign an exec order abolishing the Department of (UN) Education</a>.

Musk says <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/education/5125069-department-of-education-trump-musk-doge/" target="_blank">Trump will succeed in dismantling this agency.</a></p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_88c3e1d7dff84c9e826d50aba8f06195~mv2.jpeg/v1/fill/w_1290,h_959,al_c,q_85,enc_auto/221b12_88c3e1d7dff84c9e826d50aba8f06195~mv2.jpeg" alt="" /><p><br /> </p><p>3) Wonderful! The <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/5123348-epa-employees-facing-immediate-firing/" target="_blank">Trump administration told 1,000 EPA employees they may be hitting the bricks soon</a>. Hey, I hear there are good blueberry-picking and landscaping jobs available. Speaking of jobs or joblessness, <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/02/04/trump-buyout-federal-workers-20000" target="_blank">about 20,000 federal employees (you certainly can't call most of them "workers") have accepted President Trump's early buyout.</a> Good. Add at least one zero to that, then multiply by four.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Remember I keep saying that <i>Politico</i> is a DemoKKKrat mouthpiece? Well, it looks as though <a href="https://x.com/politicalmath/status/1887135734210986176" target="_blank">a lot of that USAID money was going to keep the <i>Politico </i>doors open.</a>.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) From <i>Politico</i>: <a href="https://www.politico.com/newsletters/politico-nightly/2025/02/04/the-week-trump-finally-broke-the-senate-00202499" target="_blank">the week Trump broke the senate.</a> Well, they mean "owned" the senate---cuz it was totally broke, but ok. I guess that explains why the Senate just <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/senate-confirms-pam-bondi-as-attorney-general-5803297?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-02-04-6&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-02-04-6&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">confirmed Pam Biondi as AG,</a> making her the most beautiful AG in the world and making "Can't Carry a Thune" 11/11 in getting Trump's nominees confirmed.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Trent Telenko, responding to whiners from Canada when he said that the Cunucks' military power is questionable,<a href="https://x.com/TrentTelenko/status/1886818286748213405" target="_blank"> noted that a single division from the Texas National Guard could beat the entire Canadian army.</a> They would run out of ammo in a week.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Findings from the "black box" of the helo in the D.C. crash <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/ntsb-conflicting-altimeter-data-retrieved-after-midair-collision-near-washington-5802839?autoemail=larry.schweikart%40gmail.com&utm_source=deployer&utm_medium=email&utm_content=&utm_campaign=new&utm_term=" target="_blank">show it had the altitude 200 feet lower than it actually was.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Trump has already started an assault on the Department of UNEducation, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/dozens-of-department-of-education-workers-put-on-leave-following-trump-order-union-says-5803510?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">telling dozens of DoEd employees, don't come back.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>9) A <a href="https://www.the-express.com/news/politics/162340/donald-trump-who-withdrawal-executive-order-covid" target="_blank">Democracy Institute poll shows Americans support withdrawl from the WHO.

Idea, so-called media outlets: why don't you reserve about 10 minutes per hour of programming for "legal notes" and apologies for what you said in the first 50 minutes?</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) New Hampshire, where Republicans have a majority, <a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1886479697573462488" target="_blank">lost about 1,000 but so did DemoKKKrats. So really no change.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>12) Showing they still don't get it, the DNC elected as its <a href="https://www.nssf.org/articles/dnc-makes-it-official-hogg-wild-for-gun-control/" target="_blank">vice chairman David Hogg (Lil' Hitler)</a> who says it's better to have a Porche and a "Portuguese Water Dog" than children. Well, Lil' Hitler, first you don't need to worry cuz no real woman ever going to touch you in a carnal way. Second, keep spewing that to people whose new economic life is being threatened by <i>not enough </i>youts.</p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_5b14f3f8e83c478f86d314a493555f4f~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_397,h_302,al_c,lg_1,q_85,enc_auto/221b12_5b14f3f8e83c478f86d314a493555f4f~mv2.png" alt="" /><p>13) The purge of the FascistBI is coming.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) It literally <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-pauses-tariffs-on-mexico-and-canada-after-border-agreements-reached-5803681?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-02-04&src_cmp=mb-2025-02-04&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">only took days for the threat of President Trump's tariffs to force change in Canada and Mexico</a>. Both nation's leaders called Trump, backed down, agreed to engage in substantial beefing up of border security. The 10% tariff on Chy-na remains in place and thus<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/china/trump-to-speak-with-chinas-xi-in-days-white-house-says-5803597?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-02-04&src_cmp=mb-2025-02-04&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank"> Xi hustled to get a meeing with Trump</a>. Meanwhile, El Salvador, with its brilliant young president Nayih Bukele, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/rubio-says-el-salvador-agrees-to-take-in-us-deportees-prisoners-5803758?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-02-04&src_cmp=mb-2025-02-04&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">has agreed to accept violent illegal American criminals in its jails</a> in a sort of international outsourcing. Hey, if Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos are successful with their space rockets, maybe we can turn Mars into Prison Planet? You know, we'll keep working on that oxygen thing . . . .</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) By far the most explosive thing to happen in the young Trump II administration is the uncovering of the rat's nest at USAID. For now, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/secretary-of-state-rubio-confirms-hes-now-acting-usaid-chief-5803435?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-02-04&src_cmp=mb-2025-02-04&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">Secretary of State Marco Rubio is in charge</a>. I never dreamed he'd be this good in his SoS position---and I'm sure those who confirmed him easily didn't either and now regret it. Anyway, USAID expenditures are revealing a massive U.S. gubment slush fund that not only was bribing our "allies" but was giving huge kickbacks to Americans in gubment. And (see picture below) funding terrorist enemies. This will go down as a bigger gument scandal than Teapot Dome, the Tweed Ring, or the Gold Corner. And almost as YUGE in impact <a href="https://x.com/nicksortor/status/1886549115565174962" target="_blank">President Trump expected to sign an exec order abolishing the Department of (UN) Education</a>.

The <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/5123348-epa-employees-facing-immediate-firing/" target="_blank">Trump administration told 1,000 EPA employees they may be hitting the bricks soon</a>. Hey, I hear there are good blueberry-picking and landscaping jobs available. Speaking of jobs or joblessness, <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/02/04/trump-buyout-federal-workers-20000" target="_blank">about 20,000 federal employees (you certainly can't call most of them "workers") have accepted President Trump's early buyout.</a> Good. Add at least one zero to that, then multiply by four.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Remember I keep saying that <i>Politico</i> is a DemoKKKrat mouthpiece? Well, it looks as though <a href="https://x.com/politicalmath/status/1887135734210986176" target="_blank">a lot of that USAID money was going to keep the <i>Politico </i>doors open.</a>.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) From <i>Politico</i>: <a href="https://www.politico.com/newsletters/politico-nightly/2025/02/04/the-week-trump-finally-broke-the-senate-00202499" target="_blank">the week Trump broke the senate.</a> Well, they mean "owned" the senate---cuz it was totally broke, but ok.

Musk <a href="https://author.amazon.com/home" target="_blank">says the U.S. Treasury has been auto-paying everyone, even known terrorist </a>groups. Some of this is efficiency.

As David Blackmon, the Rush Limbaugh of Energy notes,<a href="https://blackmon.substack.com/p/energy-lawfare-is-the-last-arrow?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=712558&post_id=156231798&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> "Energy lawfare is the last arrow in the DemoKKKrats' quiver."</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>24) Speaking of the hereafter, <a href="https://blackmon.substack.com/p/the-offshore-wind-industry-is-dying?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=712558&post_id=156234904&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">that's where all offshore wind is headed.</a> Danish company Orsted fired its CEO after shares dropped 82% and Shell canceled an off-shore wind project ("doesn't make sense without the tax credits"---which Trump canceled).

This is the way. Folks, solar energy has a place in providing <i>some</i> power in eternally sunshine states such as Arizona or Nevada or parts of southern Kollyfornia. But we will never get there with subsidies.

      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) President Trump is kicking ass and <a href="https://x.com/susancrabtree/status/1884034727046226317" target="_blank">cleaning house at U.S. AID agencies that did not immediately follow his executive orders</a>. Good. Clean out this viper's nest. We don't need to spend that money anyway. He also ordered the <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-to-sign-executive-order-creating-iron-dome-for-america-5799571?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-01-28&src_cmp=mb-2025-01-28&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">DoD to build an "Iron Dome" missile defense system</a> such as Israel has (that used Ronald Reagan's SDI tech). Trump also issued an <a href="https://x.com/TrumpDailyPosts/status/1884391517134995659" target="_blank">executive order banning chemical castration and medical mutilation of minors</a> and said the nation will no longer support or promote "gender affirming" phony "care."</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Over <a href="https://amgreatness.com/2025/01/28/over-50-usaid-workers-placed-on-leave-while-acting-administrator-investigates-insubordination/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=48175" target="_blank">50 USAID employees put on leave pending investigation into "insubordination." </a>Good.

      <title>Today&apos;s News, January 24-27, 2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Probably the most interesting story of the weekend was <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/01/26/us-news/colombias-president-gustavo-petro-buckles-under-trumps-trade-war-threat-offers-presidential-plane-for-deportation-flights/" target="_blank">Columbia's President rejecting a planeload of illegal invaders</a>. Then Trump threatened massive tariffs and a trade war. Bingo! Gustavo Petro suddenly offered his presidential plane to help with the deportations. All in less than 10 hours. Trump's new deportation policy isn't MAGA. It's FAFO! X poster Cynical Publius noted that <a href="https://x.com/CynicalPublius/status/1883609921197060262" target="_blank">this may be the first time in history major diplomacy was negotiated through social media.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Both Pete Hegseth (by J.D. Vance's tie-breaking vote) and <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/kristi-noem-confirmed-as-trumps-secretary-of-homeland-security-5797268?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-01-25-1&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-01-25-1&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">Kristi Noem (by a lot) got confirmed to their cabinet posts</a>. The bigs are coming up: RFK, Jr., Tulsi, Kash Patel, and Pam Biondi. I'd guess Biondi gets 60 votes, Patel maybe 52, but J.D. will need to be on call for the others. Hegseth raised concerns when he suggested he was NOT replacing the current spoogenipple chief of the JCS.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) In the "Night of the Long Sabers,"<a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5106541-donald-trump-inspectors-general-ousters/" target="_blank"> President Trump gave the heave-ho to over a dozen inspectors general</a>. Remember when all the Q-tips kept breathlessly posting "Horowitz is coming," as though he was going to stop the "Much Russia" scam? Yeah, good times. His final report did not include one single criminal referral and had the "mistakes were made" approach.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/01/25/federal-workers-trump-dei-00200588" target="_blank">What a feel good article. </a>"I'm terrified! Workers [sic: they are "employees," not "workers," which is a Marxist term) describe the "dark mood" inside federal agencies." Good. They should be afraid. But, if it's so bad, save us all the trouble and QUIT!</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) <a href="https://x.com/chamath/status/1883007966313599134" target="_blank">Snowmelt in Kollyfornia</a> sent an astounding 30 million cubic acres of water into the Sacramento River Delta in the past 15 months. What did LA do with all of it?</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Mayor of New Kabul (NYC) <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5105897-new-york-city-mayor-adams-trump-relations/" target="_blank">Eric the Red Adams has moved closer to Trump, alarming DemoKKKrats</a>. He sees reality: blue-city mayors are screwed unless they play ball big time. Trump will gut their federal gimmes if they don't help with the illegal criminal invader round up.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/01/25/trump-first-week-00200589" target="_blank">"Trump is everywhere again,"</a> as <i>Politico </i>is forced to admit how different and more energetic Trump is than Rutabaga was.</p><p>8) President Trump has <a href="https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/261809/trump-reinstates-mexico-city-policy-ban-on-funding-international-abortions" target="_blank">reinstated the "Mexico City" policy of banning all U.S. funding of abortions overseas.</a> Then he told a Vegas audience<a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/01/trump-tells-vegas-supporters-he-will-terminate-88000/" target="_blank"> he'd get rid of the "88,000 IRS agents" </a>that Rutabaga added---or "we'll move them to the border."</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) In a joint televised conference, Trump bitch-slapped the idiotic Mayor ASS of New Calcutta (Los Angeles) when she tried to explain why cleanup was taking so long. He broke in and said "The people are willing to clean their own debris. You should let them do it."</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) New documents show that <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/new-documents-hunter-bidens-name-signature-tied-60-million-fraud-investigation?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=3898" target="_blank">Hunter Biteme is tied to a $50 million fraud scheme.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>11) The Administration reportedly <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/01/25/trump-administration-reportedly-locates-tens-thousands-missing-children/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">found "tens of thousands" of missing children</a>, but further information on where or how is not available as of this writing.</p><p><br /> </p><p>12) Typical DemoKKKrat: <a href="https://www.oann.com/newsroom/florida-democrat-party-treasurer-arrested-on-child-porn-charges-following-undercover-sting-operation/" target="_blank">the Florida DemoKKKrat Party treasurer has been arrested in kiddie porn charges.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>13) <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1883308220590202932" target="_blank">ICE has launched a week's worth of raids </a>in New Calcutta (Los Angeles) as Mayor ASS still is busy denying she had any role in the fire disasters.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN TRANSOID NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>14) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/doj-drops-charges-against-texas-surgeon-who-blew-whistle-on-transgender-procedures-on-minors-5798685?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-01-26&src_cmp=mb-2025-01-26&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">Federal prosecutors dismissed the case against a Texas surgeon</a> who blew the whistle on transoid surgeries.</p><p><br /> </p><p>15) <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/01/27/us-news/trump-to-ink-new-executive-orders-today-banning-trans-service-members-military-dei-programs/" target="_blank">President Trump today will sign an Executive Order banning transoid service members and ending DEI in the Pentagon.</a> Better get rid of the head of the Joint Chiefs, brown.</p><p><br /> </p><p>16) <a href="https://www.graphsaboutreligion.com/p/a-significant-number-of-christians?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1561197&post_id=153312853&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Support for same-sex marriage has dropped</a>, especially among Christians.

Sheeesh.</p><p><br /> </p><p>19) The<a href="https://amgreatness.com/2025/01/24/bank-of-america-to-trump-were-not-allowed-to-tell-you-why-we-debanked-you/" target="_blank"> big banks are playing with fire, </a>telling Trump "We can't tell you why we de-banked you."

While that had been successful in the regular season the Swifts were ready for it and stuffed Allen at least three times. One time he ignored the left side and jumped over the middle for a successful first down. The reality is, the Bills just aren't good enough to beat KC, with or without the refs and/or Taylor Swift. Their defense isn't good enough, and in these key championship games, Josh Allen simply isn't as good as Mahomes. I hate saying that.</p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_d1e0e6051165456396a4fbf4df690ba1~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_90,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_d1e0e6051165456396a4fbf4df690ba1~mv2.png" alt="" />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Probably the most interesting story of the weekend was <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/01/26/us-news/colombias-president-gustavo-petro-buckles-under-trumps-trade-war-threat-offers-presidential-plane-for-deportation-flights/" target="_blank">Columbia's President rejecting a planeload of illegal invaders</a>. Then Trump threatened massive tariffs and a trade war. Bingo! Gustavo Petro suddenly offered his presidential plane to help with the deportations. All in less than 10 hours. Trump's new deportation policy isn't MAGA. It's FAFO! X poster Cynical Publius noted that <a href="https://x.com/CynicalPublius/status/1883609921197060262" target="_blank">this may be the first time in history major diplomacy was negotiated through social media.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Both Pete Hegseth (by J.D. Vance's tie-breaking vote) and <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/kristi-noem-confirmed-as-trumps-secretary-of-homeland-security-5797268?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-01-25-1&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-01-25-1&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">Kristi Noem (by a lot) got confirmed to their cabinet posts</a>. The bigs are coming up: RFK, Jr., Tulsi, Kash Patel, and Pam Biondi. I'd guess Biondi gets 60 votes, Patel maybe 52, but J.D. will need to be on call for the others. Hegseth raised concerns when he suggested he was NOT replacing the current spoogenipple chief of the JCS.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) In the "Night of the Long Sabers,"<a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5106541-donald-trump-inspectors-general-ousters/" target="_blank"> President Trump gave the heave-ho to over a dozen inspectors general</a>. Remember when all the Q-tips kept breathlessly posting "Horowitz is coming," as though he was going to stop the "Much Russia" scam? Yeah, good times. His final report did not include one single criminal referral and had the "mistakes were made" approach.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/01/25/federal-workers-trump-dei-00200588" target="_blank">What a feel good article. </a>"I'm terrified! Workers [sic: they are "employees," not "workers," which is a Marxist term) describe the "dark mood" inside federal agencies." Good. They should be afraid. But, if it's so bad, save us all the trouble and QUIT!</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) <a href="https://x.com/chamath/status/1883007966313599134" target="_blank">Snowmelt in Kollyfornia</a> sent an astounding 30 million cubic acres of water into the Sacramento River Delta in the past 15 months. What did LA do with all of it?</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Mayor of New Kabul (NYC) <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5105897-new-york-city-mayor-adams-trump-relations/" target="_blank">Eric the Red Adams has moved closer to Trump, alarming DemoKKKrats</a>. He sees reality: blue-city mayors are screwed unless they play ball big time. Trump will gut their federal gimmes if they don't help with the illegal criminal invader round up.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/01/25/trump-first-week-00200589" target="_blank">"Trump is everywhere again,"</a> as <i>Politico </i>is forced to admit how different and more energetic Trump is than Rutabaga was.</p><p>8) President Trump has <a href="https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/261809/trump-reinstates-mexico-city-policy-ban-on-funding-international-abortions" target="_blank">reinstated the "Mexico City" policy of banning all U.S. funding of abortions overseas.</a> Then he told a Vegas audience<a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/01/trump-tells-vegas-supporters-he-will-terminate-88000/" target="_blank"> he'd get rid of the "88,000 IRS agents" </a>that Rutabaga added---or "we'll move them to the border."</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) In a joint televised conference, Trump bitch-slapped the idiotic Mayor ASS of New Calcutta (Los Angeles) when she tried to explain why cleanup was taking so long. He broke in and said "The people are willing to clean their own debris. You should let them do it."</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) New documents show that <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/new-documents-hunter-bidens-name-signature-tied-60-million-fraud-investigation?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=3898" target="_blank">Hunter Biteme is tied to a $50 million fraud scheme.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>11) The Administration reportedly <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/01/25/trump-administration-reportedly-locates-tens-thousands-missing-children/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">found "tens of thousands" of missing children</a>, but further information on where or how is not available as of this writing.</p><p><br /> </p><p>12) Typical DemoKKKrat: <a href="https://www.oann.com/newsroom/florida-democrat-party-treasurer-arrested-on-child-porn-charges-following-undercover-sting-operation/" target="_blank">the Florida DemoKKKrat Party treasurer has been arrested in kiddie porn charges.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>13) <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1883308220590202932" target="_blank">ICE has launched a week's worth of raids </a>in New Calcutta (Los Angeles) as Mayor ASS still is busy denying she had any role in the fire disasters.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN TRANSOID NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>14) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/doj-drops-charges-against-texas-surgeon-who-blew-whistle-on-transgender-procedures-on-minors-5798685?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-01-26&src_cmp=mb-2025-01-26&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">Federal prosecutors dismissed the case against a Texas surgeon</a> who blew the whistle on transoid surgeries.</p><p><br /> </p><p>15) <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/01/27/us-news/trump-to-ink-new-executive-orders-today-banning-trans-service-members-military-dei-programs/" target="_blank">President Trump today will sign an Executive Order banning transoid service members and ending DEI in the Pentagon.</a> Better get rid of the head of the Joint Chiefs, brown.</p><p><br /> </p><p>16) <a href="https://www.graphsaboutreligion.com/p/a-significant-number-of-christians?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1561197&post_id=153312853&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Support for same-sex marriage has dropped</a>, especially among Christians.

While I think the refs blew two big calls (one a Bills first down that was ruled short, the other an interception by a Bills player---or at best an incomplete pass---that was ruled for KC, to me the real villain was the Bills' play caller who on at least four (maybe five) fourth-and-ones tried a Josh Allen QB sneak to the left side. While that had been successful in the regular season the Swifts were ready for it and stuffed Allen at least three times. One time he ignored the left side and jumped over the middle for a successful first down. The reality is, the Bills just aren't good enough to beat KC, with or without the refs and/or Taylor Swift. Their defense isn't good enough, and in these key championship games, Josh Allen simply isn't as good as Mahomes. I hate saying that.</p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_d1e0e6051165456396a4fbf4df690ba1~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_90,enc_avif,quality_auto/221b12_d1e0e6051165456396a4fbf4df690ba1~mv2.png" alt="" />

      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Awesome: President Trump put out a memo <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-administration-directs-all-federal-dei-employees-be-put-on-leave-5796747?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-01-22&src_cmp=mb-2025-01-22&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">putting ALL federal DEI employees on leave.</a> This is the way. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uNqvYfXnFQ&feature=youtu.be" target="_blank">He also announced a $400 billion investment in AI.</a> I know, I know, idiot Larry Ellison later claimed he would use mRNA vaxxes with AI (somehow) to stop cancer, but no one is going to take those shots. Meanwhile EVERYONE whether they know it or not is using AI and this is a major move to leap ahead of the ChiComs. It's necessary, and it's here. He also pulled the security details from Mike Pompeo and <a href="https://protrumpnews.com/trump-pulls-fauci-security-detail/" target="_blank">Dr. Fallacy.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Mike Turner got<a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/01/21/mike-turner-intel-committee-fisa-702-mike-johnson/" target="_blank"> demoted from the House Intel committee cuz he was bragging that he was going to insert his guy into Trump's intelligence circle</a> and "take over." Sorry little brisket peddler, no one makes those decisions except President Trump. Take a seat on the back bench.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) The real <a href="https://www.news10.com/hill-politics/speaker-johnson-forms-committee-to-probe-jan-6-democrats-original-investigation/" target="_blank">J6 Patriot Day Committee just moved to the judiciary committee where it will begin to call witnesses to the corruption of the FBI</a>. Oh, and it will also call Lynn Clusterbomb Cheney.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Ohio passed several pro-gun laws, and <a href="https://www.ammoland.com/2025/01/ohio-bills-grant-civil-immunity-for-defense-at-non-profits-collection-of-firearms-data-restricted/" target="_blank">DeWeenie signed one that grants immunity to someone who shot someone else in self defense,</a> so no crazy civil judgements.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) A sudden case of honesty?

I agree. They painted themselves into the corner and the rest of the world just keeps movin' on by.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/senate-confirms-ratcliffe-as-new-cia-director-5797795?utm_source=Goodevening&src_src=Goodevening&utm_campaign=gv-2025-01-23&src_cmp=gv-2025-01-23&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5ZwpC2sLA%2B7YHtWRLH5R9xkIHK2cN2s6OsMvn4fLQH7QYRE5kM7gr" target="_blank">Tne Senate has confirmed John Ratcliffe as CIA director</a>. Ok, the easy ones are done. Now come Pam Biondi, Kash Patel, RFK, Jr.,, Tulsi Gabbard, and Pete Hegseth.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) President Trump has <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-pardons-23-pro-life-activists-ahead-of-march-for-life-5797925?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-01-24&src_cmp=mb-2025-01-24&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">pardoned 23 pro-life demonstrators </a>accused of blocking access to abortion clinics, just ahead of the March for Life.</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) Trump signed an order <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-signs-executive-order-releasing-additional-jfk-assassination-files-5797085?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-01-23-6&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-01-23-6&utm_medium=email&utm_term=digital&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">releasing all JFK and MLK assassination files.</a> From the conspiracy theorists' point of view, this is meaningless because according to them the CIA has already sanitized or doctored all the millions of pieces of evidence.</p><p><br /> </p><p>13) <a href="https://protrumpnews.com/poll-56-of-americans-approve-of-trumps-job-performance/" target="_blank">Trump job approval at 56%.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>14) Declassified JFK docs show that the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-14318861/declassified-cia-documents-agency-plot-kill-americans-cuba-war.html" target="_blank">U.S. military planned to stage fake attacks to provoke a war against Cuba</a>.

This heads to the Supes before long, where unfortunately Trump will likely lose. <a href="https://technofog.substack.com/p/birthright-citizenship?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=274771&post_id=155587541&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Here is an excellent review of both sides of the argument, including case law</a>.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Awesome: President Trump put out a memo <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-administration-directs-all-federal-dei-employees-be-put-on-leave-5796747?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-01-22&src_cmp=mb-2025-01-22&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">putting ALL federal DEI employees on leave.</a> This is the way. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uNqvYfXnFQ&feature=youtu.be" target="_blank">He also announced a $400 billion investment in AI.</a> I know, I know, idiot Larry Ellison later claimed he would use mRNA vaxxes with AI (somehow) to stop cancer, but no one is going to take those shots. Meanwhile EVERYONE whether they know it or not is using AI and this is a major move to leap ahead of the ChiComs. It's necessary, and it's here. He also pulled the security details from Mike Pompeo and <a href="https://protrumpnews.com/trump-pulls-fauci-security-detail/" target="_blank">Dr. Fallacy.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Mike Turner got<a href="https://dailycaller.com/2025/01/21/mike-turner-intel-committee-fisa-702-mike-johnson/" target="_blank"> demoted from the House Intel committee cuz he was bragging that he was going to insert his guy into Trump's intelligence circle</a> and "take over." Sorry little brisket peddler, no one makes those decisions except President Trump. Take a seat on the back bench.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) The real <a href="https://www.news10.com/hill-politics/speaker-johnson-forms-committee-to-probe-jan-6-democrats-original-investigation/" target="_blank">J6 Patriot Day Committee just moved to the judiciary committee where it will begin to call witnesses to the corruption of the FBI</a>. Oh, and it will also call Lynn Clusterbomb Cheney.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Ohio passed several pro-gun laws, and <a href="https://www.ammoland.com/2025/01/ohio-bills-grant-civil-immunity-for-defense-at-non-profits-collection-of-firearms-data-restricted/" target="_blank">DeWeenie signed one that grants immunity to someone who shot someone else in self defense,</a> so no crazy civil judgements.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) A sudden case of honesty? The<a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/01/21/democrat-governor-announces-state-must-pay-2-billion/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank"> MA governor announced her state would pay back $2 billion in China Virus money</a> that was spent on state projects.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Researchers now have <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/5098278-nose-spray-to-treat-depression-fda-approves-first-of-its-kind-medicine/" target="_blank">a nasal spray to fight depression.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>7) The Trump effect as the acting <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/acting-fdic-chair-promises-wholesale-review-of-regulatory-priorities-5796494?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">FDIC chair promises a thorough review of every system, including bank stability</a>.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Ruy Teixeira, a very smart lib,<a href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/the-hills-the-left-will-die-on?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=239058&post_id=155517235&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> is warning that it appears the DemoKKKrats are ready to die on the hill of wokism and climate change</a>, that they cannot find a way back.

      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Obviously the biggest news has been <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-to-make-historic-return-to-white-house-5795304?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-01-20-3&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-01-20-3&utm_medium=email&utm_term=digital&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">President Trump's inauguration yesterday</a>, which took place in the Capitol Rotunda. In his inaugural speech, he referenced a slew of Executive Orders, instantly undoing everything Rutabaga did and declaring a national emergency at the border and unleashing America's energy giant. He also said that it is the "official policy of the United States that there only two genders," male and female. He pledged to restore America's military as a real fighting force, to rename the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America,<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-to-make-historic-return-to-white-house-5795304?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-01-20-3&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-01-20-3&utm_medium=email&utm_term=digital&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank"> to reclaim the Panama Canal</a>, and to plant the U.S. flag on Mars. Referring to his near-assassination, Trump said "I was saved by God to make America great again."</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Even ABC reported Trump's speech by<a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-inaugural-address-takeaways/story?id=117898140" target="_blank"> referring to a "golden age."</a></p><p><br /> </p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZT-QZ549Va0" target="_blank">3) Rev. Lorenzo Sewell gave a benediction for the ages </a>with his "Free At Last!" prayer.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) In one of the most disturbing tweets ever, Kamala Harris told Doug Emhoff, her husband, that <a href="https://x.com/jayroo69/status/1881369969742549253/photo/1" target="_blank">on January 20, 2025 he would be sleeping with the President of the United States</a>. Does Melania know?</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) In a moment of high theater, at the Capitol One Rally afterwards, which was originally to have been a parade outside the Capitol but was moved for cold/security reasons, Trump took the unprecedented step of signing half a dozen executive orders in front of the 20,000 crowd, including pardoning <i>all</i> J6 Patriot Day prisoners except a handful, whose sentences were commuted. DemoKKKrats squealed, but couldn't squeal too loudly as the evil and despicable Rutabaga <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/biden-issues-preemptive-pardons-for-fauci-milley-jan-6-committee-5795385?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-01-20-1&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-01-20-1&utm_medium=email&utm_term=digital&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">issued "preemptive" pardons</a> to Dr. Fallacy, General Thoroughly Modern Milley, and the illicit J6 criminal committee, as well as <a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/biden-pardons-family-members-cmc/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank">his entire family.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Trump then returned to the White House before the three Inaugural Balls he attended, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/01/20/trump-executive-orders-list/" target="_blank">to sign almost 200 more executive orders</a>, including ending censorship, banning further wind farm development on the coasts, releasing America's energy with new leases, calling the cartels "foreign terrorist organizations," sealing the border, requiring all gubment workers return to the office, and yanking the security clearances of the traitorous 51 intel agents who lied about the Hunter Biden laptop. An incredible tour de force, leaving people to wonder, if Day 1/2 was this good, how can we have even more winning for the next 1,400+ days?

In his inaugural speech, he referenced a slew of Executive Orders, instantly undoing everything Rutabaga did and declaring a national emergency at the border and unleashing America's energy giant. He also said that it is the "official policy of the United States that there only two genders," male and female. He pledged to restore America's military as a real fighting force, to rename the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America,<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-to-make-historic-return-to-white-house-5795304?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-01-20-3&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-01-20-3&utm_medium=email&utm_term=digital&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank"> to reclaim the Panama Canal</a>, and to plant the U.S. flag on Mars. Referring to his near-assassination, Trump said "I was saved by God to make America great again."</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Even ABC reported Trump's speech by<a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-inaugural-address-takeaways/story?id=117898140" target="_blank"> referring to a "golden age."</a></p><p><br /> </p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZT-QZ549Va0" target="_blank">3) Rev. Lorenzo Sewell gave a benediction for the ages </a>with his "Free At Last!" prayer.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) In one of the most disturbing tweets ever, Kamala Harris told Doug Emhoff, her husband, that <a href="https://x.com/jayroo69/status/1881369969742549253/photo/1" target="_blank">on January 20, 2025 he would be sleeping with the President of the United States</a>. Does Melania know?</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) In a moment of high theater, at the Capitol One Rally afterwards, which was originally to have been a parade outside the Capitol but was moved for cold/security reasons, Trump took the unprecedented step of signing half a dozen executive orders in front of the 20,000 crowd, including pardoning <i>all</i> J6 Patriot Day prisoners except a handful, whose sentences were commuted. DemoKKKrats squealed, but couldn't squeal too loudly as the evil and despicable Rutabaga <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/biden-issues-preemptive-pardons-for-fauci-milley-jan-6-committee-5795385?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-01-20-1&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-01-20-1&utm_medium=email&utm_term=digital&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">issued "preemptive" pardons</a> to Dr. Fallacy, General Thoroughly Modern Milley, and the illicit J6 criminal committee, as well as <a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/biden-pardons-family-members-cmc/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank">his entire family.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Trump then returned to the White House before the three Inaugural Balls he attended, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/01/20/trump-executive-orders-list/" target="_blank">to sign almost 200 more executive orders</a>, including ending censorship, banning further wind farm development on the coasts, releasing America's energy with new leases, calling the cartels "foreign terrorist organizations," sealing the border, requiring all gubment workers return to the office, and yanking the security clearances of the traitorous 51 intel agents who lied about the Hunter Biden laptop. An incredible tour de force, leaving people to wonder, if Day 1/2 was this good, how can we have even more winning for the next 1,400+ days?

      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) President Trump's inaugural schedule has been released, and yes, on January 20, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trumps-inauguration-schedule-released-5790962?utm_source=Goodevening&src_src=Goodevening&utm_campaign=gv-2025-01-13&src_cmp=gv-2025-01-13&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5ZwpC2sLA%2B7YHtWRLH5R9xkIHK2cN2s6OsMvn4fLQH7QYRE5kM7gr" target="_blank">there is time scheduled to sign a ton of executive orders.</a> Rutabaga will be a dim memory before midnight, and we don't even have dementia.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Rutabaga, on his way out, and thinking he was Ike, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/in-farewell-address-biden-touts-achievements-warns-of-tech-industrial-complex-5793168?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-01-16&src_cmp=mb-2025-01-16&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">warned of a "tech-industrial complex" four years after said complex installed him illegally as president.</a> We'll take it under advisement, spoogemitten. Meanwhile, the reviews are in and the <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/archive/2025/01/bidens-tarnished-legacy/681267/?utm_campaign=the-atlantic&utm_content=true-anthem&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter" target="_blank"><i>Atlantic</i> says Rutabaga had a "tarnished" legacy</a>. No, he had an evil feces-ladled legacy. "He seemed to fade into the background almost from the beginning, seldom using his bully pulpit to rally public support or explain his vision for the country." Actually, he overused the bully pulpit, not to rally, but to demonize and attack. His Fourth Reich Speech will go down as the most terrifying in American history, and the most evil. Oh, and he commuted the sentences of over 2,400 drug violators.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1879683857706111095" target="_blank">Denmark says it's up to the Greenies</a> if they want to join the USA. Greenie PM says "Da" (or whatever they say there), people say "Da" but some in their parliament so "Nyet" cuz they'd lose their power.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Whereas in 2017 no corporate CEOs would get anywhere near President Trump, <a href="https://x.com/ArynneWexler/status/1879333593216110988" target="_blank">now they are creating commemorative products</a> for his inauguration, such as this Diet Coke.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Seth Keshel has a good analysis of why <a href="https://skeshel.substack.com/p/anatomy-of-a-red-state?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=798984&post_id=154888166&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">red states have safer voting, for the most part.</a> Most have laws that limit mail-in voting, ballot harvesting, and other fraud-engendering policies.

Not clear yet what this means for DeSantis running for this seat or for president in 2028. Meanwhile <a href="https://x.com/ChadPergram/status/1880286726431576118" target="_blank">Ohio Governor Mike DeWeenie appointed Jon Husted,</a> a party insider, somewhat conservative. He's no J. D. Vance populist. Should have been Vivek. Husted brought no challenges to the vax regime of DeWeenie.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) President Trump is already moving away from the income tax with the<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-unveils-new-irs-style-external-revenue-service-to-collect-tariffs-and-duties-from-foreign-countries-5791890?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-01-14-3&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-01-14-3&utm_medium=email&utm_term=digital&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank"> "External Revenue Service" that will handle tariffs.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>8) The FascistBI and Department of INJustice <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/fbi-doj-delete-chinese-malware-from-thousands-of-us-computers-in-court-authorized-operation-5791871?utm_source=China&src_src=China&utm_campaign=uschina-2025-01-15&src_cmp=uschina-2025-01-15&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5ZwpC2sLA%2B7YHtWRLH5R9xkIHK2cN2s6OsMvn4fLQH7QYRE5kM7gr" target="_blank">have deleted ChiCom malaware from thousands of computers.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>9) <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/01/15/mike-johnson-fires-pro-ukraine-intel-committee-chairman-with-close-deep-state-ties/" target="_blank">Speaker Mike Johnson removed Ohio's Mike Turner from his seat on the intel committee because of his ChiCom ties</a>. Good. Turner was my congressman for years. Always voted "right," but you could tell he really, really didn't want to.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) As expected, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/all-california-insurance-policyholders-could-have-to-pay-for-la-fire-losses-5792282?utm_source=Goodevening&src_src=Goodevening&utm_campaign=gv-2025-01-15&src_cmp=gv-2025-01-15&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5ZwpC2sLA%2B7YHtWRLH5R9xkIHK2cN2s6OsMvn4fLQH7QYRE5kM7gr" target="_blank">all Kollyfornia insurance holders are likely going to have to pay for the wildfires </a>and the evil and incompetence of Kollyfornia's ruling class.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) President Trump's inaugural schedule has been released, and yes, on January 20, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trumps-inauguration-schedule-released-5790962?utm_source=Goodevening&src_src=Goodevening&utm_campaign=gv-2025-01-13&src_cmp=gv-2025-01-13&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5ZwpC2sLA%2B7YHtWRLH5R9xkIHK2cN2s6OsMvn4fLQH7QYRE5kM7gr" target="_blank">there is time scheduled to sign a ton of executive orders.</a> Rutabaga will be a dim memory before midnight, and we don't even have dementia.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Rutabaga, on his way out, and thinking he was Ike, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/in-farewell-address-biden-touts-achievements-warns-of-tech-industrial-complex-5793168?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2025-01-16&src_cmp=mb-2025-01-16&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">warned of a "tech-industrial complex" four years after said complex installed him illegally as president.</a> We'll take it under advisement, spoogemitten. Meanwhile, the reviews are in and the <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/archive/2025/01/bidens-tarnished-legacy/681267/?utm_campaign=the-atlantic&utm_content=true-anthem&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter" target="_blank"><i>Atlantic</i> says Rutabaga had a "tarnished" legacy</a>. No, he had an evil feces-ladled legacy. "He seemed to fade into the background almost from the beginning, seldom using his bully pulpit to rally public support or explain his vision for the country." Actually, he overused the bully pulpit, not to rally, but to demonize and attack. His Fourth Reich Speech will go down as the most terrifying in American history, and the most evil. Oh, and he commuted the sentences of over 2,400 drug violators.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1879683857706111095" target="_blank">Denmark says it's up to the Greenies</a> if they want to join the USA. Greenie PM says "Da" (or whatever they say there), people say "Da" but some in their parliament so "Nyet" cuz they'd lose their power.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Whereas in 2017 no corporate CEOs would get anywhere near President Trump, <a href="https://x.com/ArynneWexler/status/1879333593216110988" target="_blank">now they are creating commemorative products</a> for his inauguration, such as this Diet Coke.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Seth Keshel has a good analysis of why <a href="https://skeshel.substack.com/p/anatomy-of-a-red-state?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=798984&post_id=154888166&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">red states have safer voting, for the most part.</a> Most have laws that limit mail-in voting, ballot harvesting, and other fraud-engendering policies. He has a similar look at how the<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/netanyahu-delays-cabinet-vote-on-cease-fire-says-hamas-backtracking-to-exhort-concessions-5793256?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-01-16-1&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-01-16-1&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5ZwpC2sLA%2B7YHtWRLH5R9xkIHK2cN2s6OsMvn4fLQH7QYRE5kM7gr" target="_blank"> blue states almost uniformly have the weakest election integrity laws.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Governor Ron DeSantis appointed his own AG, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/desantis-appoints-ag-ashley-moody-to-senate-to-replace-rubio-5791095?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-01-16-2&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-01-16-2&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">Ashley Moody as U.S. Senator to replace Marco Rubio. </a>She has supported some suits in favor of Trump and sued FEMA for discriminating against Trump supporters getting hurricane relief. Not clear yet what this means for DeSantis running for this seat or for president in 2028. Meanwhile <a href="https://x.com/ChadPergram/status/1880286726431576118" target="_blank">Ohio Governor Mike DeWeenie appointed Jon Husted,</a> a party insider, somewhat conservative. He's no J. D. Vance populist. Should have been Vivek. Husted brought no challenges to the vax regime of DeWeenie.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) President Trump is already moving away from the income tax with the<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-unveils-new-irs-style-external-revenue-service-to-collect-tariffs-and-duties-from-foreign-countries-5791890?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-01-14-3&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-01-14-3&utm_medium=email&utm_term=digital&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank"> "External Revenue Service" that will handle tariffs.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>8) The FascistBI and Department of INJustice <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/fbi-doj-delete-chinese-malware-from-thousands-of-us-computers-in-court-authorized-operation-5791871?utm_source=China&src_src=China&utm_campaign=uschina-2025-01-15&src_cmp=uschina-2025-01-15&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5ZwpC2sLA%2B7YHtWRLH5R9xkIHK2cN2s6OsMvn4fLQH7QYRE5kM7gr" target="_blank">have deleted ChiCom malaware from thousands of computers.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>9) <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/01/15/mike-johnson-fires-pro-ukraine-intel-committee-chairman-with-close-deep-state-ties/" target="_blank">Speaker Mike Johnson removed Ohio's Mike Turner from his seat on the intel committee because of his ChiCom ties</a>. Good. Turner was my congressman for years. Always voted "right," but you could tell he really, really didn't want to.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) As expected, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/all-california-insurance-policyholders-could-have-to-pay-for-la-fire-losses-5792282?utm_source=Goodevening&src_src=Goodevening&utm_campaign=gv-2025-01-15&src_cmp=gv-2025-01-15&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5ZwpC2sLA%2B7YHtWRLH5R9xkIHK2cN2s6OsMvn4fLQH7QYRE5kM7gr" target="_blank">all Kollyfornia insurance holders are likely going to have to pay for the wildfires </a>and the evil and incompetence of Kollyfornia's ruling class.

      <itunes:summary>In political news, President Trump’s inauguration schedule confirms a plan to sign numerous executive orders on day one, signaling a swift policy shift. Outgoing President Biden, nicknamed &quot;Rutabaga,&quot; faced criticism for his legacy, commuted over 2,400 sentences, and warned of a “tech-industrial complex.” Internationally, Denmark debates joining the U.S., and Trump’s administration has outlined a tariff-based tax plan. Meanwhile, wildfires and policy mismanagement plague California, with lawsuits against utilities and misallocated funds under scrutiny. Cultural shifts reveal distrust in religion, even among churchgoers, while economic issues include soaring mortgage rates, a TikTok ban, and lawsuits against major corporations like Capital One and John Deere. Globally, Trump’s envoy has influenced Middle Eastern diplomacy, but concessions are still contested. Entertainment highlights include divorce rumors about Barack Obama, Bob Uecker’s passing, and legal troubles for a Pulitzer-winning cartoonist. Finally, an English school’s sports stadium sits unused due to noise complaints.</itunes:summary>

      <title>Today&apos;s News, January 9-10, 2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>I 1) In the most important news of the day, <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/01/09/trump-immigration-executive-orders-stephen-miller" target="_blank">President Trump and Stephen Miller reviewed over 100 executive orders including numerous border control plans.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) The <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/obama-trump-2-88583/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">funeral of Jimmy Carter </a>saw Barack Obama and President Trump chatting it up and joking while Cackles looks straight ahead, deadpan. Traitor Tuppence offered Trump a limp handshake, but his wife refused to stand. And Rutabaga looked befuddled, as if saying, "What's in the box?"</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) In the so-called "hush money" trial of president Trump, <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1877735185380164049" target="_blank">the dicknipple judge Juan Merchan ordered an "unconditional discharge,'</a> meaning no fine, no jail time, but Trump would still have the appellation of "felon" attached to his name. This will be appealed.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Really no surprise here, but a veteran reporter says Trump's CIA director pick, John Ratcliffe, <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/obama-trump-2-88583/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">will be a "day one" confirmation</a>. Though solid, Ratcliffe is far closer to being a D.C. insider than most others.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Federal judge<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/federal-judge-temporarily-blocks-release-of-special-counsel-jack-smiths-classified-documents-report-5787615?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-01-07-5&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-01-07-5&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5ZwpC2sLA%2B7YHtWRLH5R9xkIHK2cN2s6OsMvn4fLQH7QYRE5kM7gr" target="_blank"> Aileen Cannon has blocked release of Count Dooku, Jack Smith's, "report" </a>pending a ruling by an appeals court. Meanwhile,<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/supreme-court-rejects-trumps-request-for-stay-in-new-york-case-5789162?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank"> the Supes in their good cop bad cop routine, refused to halt Juan Merchan's sentencing tomorrow </a>with Amy Coney Barret doing her best imitiation of Anthony Kennedy.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) "We didn't start the fire," but Kollyfornia is facing <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/weather/inferno-chaos-la-fire-spreads-hollywood-hills-2000-buildings-destroyed-over-130000?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=3752" target="_blank">unprecedented fires in Malibu, Palisades, and the Hollywood Hills:</a> 30,000 acres are on fire, forcing nearly 180,000 told to evacuate. Estimates are that it will cost $135 to $150 billion to rebuild. Because of "Unknown unknowns" as Donald Rumsfeld used to say, likley the total cost will be much higher. And, as <a href="https://petermcculloughmd.substack.com/p/like-lahaina-la-was-warned-in-2018?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1119676&post_id=154433547&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">John Leake notes</a>, like Lahaina, Kollyfornia was warned about this in 2018. In this months-old video, <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/resurfaced-trump-88574/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">Trump correctly explained why Kollyfornia has a water problem.</a> LA <a href="https://noqreport.com/l-a-officials-complain-there-arent-enough-firefighters-after-firing-hundreds-who-refused-to-take-covid-vaccine/?utm_source=econ" target="_blank">complains about a lack of firefighters after firing hundreds who wouldn't take the China Virus vax.</a> Oh, and the <a href="https://x.com/i/status/1877473894229225754" target="_blank">brilliant Rutabaga said that they cut the power so that downed power lines wouldn't start more fires</a> and that's why there was no power for the water pumps. Gee, you fizzle-brained, pus-porcupine, THAT SOUNDS LIKE A FLAW IN THE SYSTEM TO ME. Like Hans knowing the FBI would cut the power to Nakatomi so the vault would open. And <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14271021/los-angeles-mayor-karen-bass-fires-department-budget-cuts.html" target="_blank">a leaked memo shows LA Mayor Karen Ass sought to cut another $49 million from the fire department</a> a week before the fires broke out. The <i>Washington Examiner</i> calls this an <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/editorials/3282078/california-wildfires-democrats-failed-infrastructure/" target="_blank">"Inferno of Incompetence.</a>" But this is precisely what you get with evil DEI hires, useless racist DemoKKKrats---who are overwhelmingly stupid---and a complicit media that never challenges or investigates them.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Senator <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/01/09/john-fetterman-backs-president-trump-greenland-purchase/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">Fetterman Massacre visited Mar-a-Lago</a> and agreed that we needed to talk about acquiring Greenland. Asked what he wanted, Fetterman said he wanted to be Pope of Greenland. Just asking, are Greenlandes Catholic?</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Trump's National Security Advisor nominee Mike Walz says<a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/01/09/trump-cabinet-nominee-details-plan-clean-deep-state/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank"> they'll be accepting resignations from the Deep State at 12:01 on January 20.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>9) If the rise of the "nones" (who reject all religion) is the most important spiritual story of the 21st century,<a href="https://www.graphsaboutreligion.com/p/non-denominationalism-is-the-strongest?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1561197&post_id=153314240&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> the dominance of non-denominationalism</a> is the second most important. It is the future of American religion.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN TRANSOID NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>10) Big win against transoids <a href="https://x.com/Riley_Gaines_/status/1877391800823853333" target="_blank">as a federal court overturned Rutabaga's Title IX re-write.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>11) Total <a href="https://www.404media.co/its-total-chaos-internally-at-meta-right-now-employees-protest-zuckerbergs-anti-lgbtq-changes/" target="_blank">chaos at Meta right now</a> ("Meta" means death in Hebrew) as employees are protesting what they see as "anti-homosexual/anti-transoid" policies. The change is that Meta will now allow posters to say that transoids or homosexuals have mental illness. This eventually needs to be the direction they all head.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ECONOMIC NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>12) Ah, the old good news=bad news scenario, where a <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/yourmoney/consumer/article-14270937/surprise-job-report-sends-stocks-plummeting.html" target="_blank">good jobs report sends the stock market down because of anticipated inflation.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>13) A Canuck legislator said, <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/how-about-if-we-buy-alaska-top-canadian-politician-eyes-takeover-us-states-battle-trump?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=3749" target="_blank">"How about if we buy Alaska?"</a> Dude, you can't even afford an igloo.</p><p><br /> </p><p>14) <a href="https://irinaslav.substack.com/p/tis-the-season-for-crystal-ball-gazing?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=376351&post_id=153840649&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Irena Slav always brings the "meats" in her column.</a> Today: VW and its employee union agreed (!!) to cut 35,000 jobs this year, on top of a 30,000 loss in the auto supplier industry last year; opposition to wind turbines in the UK is growing, Black Rock just joined the net-zero exodus (!!), and the EU begins its post-Brexit crackup.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>I 1) In the most important news of the day, <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/01/09/trump-immigration-executive-orders-stephen-miller" target="_blank">President Trump and Stephen Miller reviewed over 100 executive orders including numerous border control plans.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) The <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/obama-trump-2-88583/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">funeral of Jimmy Carter </a>saw Barack Obama and President Trump chatting it up and joking while Cackles looks straight ahead, deadpan. Traitor Tuppence offered Trump a limp handshake, but his wife refused to stand. And Rutabaga looked befuddled, as if saying, "What's in the box?"</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) In the so-called "hush money" trial of president Trump, <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1877735185380164049" target="_blank">the dicknipple judge Juan Merchan ordered an "unconditional discharge,'</a> meaning no fine, no jail time, but Trump would still have the appellation of "felon" attached to his name. This will be appealed.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Really no surprise here, but a veteran reporter says Trump's CIA director pick, John Ratcliffe, <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/obama-trump-2-88583/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">will be a "day one" confirmation</a>. Though solid, Ratcliffe is far closer to being a D.C. insider than most others.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Federal judge<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/federal-judge-temporarily-blocks-release-of-special-counsel-jack-smiths-classified-documents-report-5787615?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-01-07-5&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-01-07-5&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5ZwpC2sLA%2B7YHtWRLH5R9xkIHK2cN2s6OsMvn4fLQH7QYRE5kM7gr" target="_blank"> Aileen Cannon has blocked release of Count Dooku, Jack Smith's, "report" </a>pending a ruling by an appeals court. Meanwhile,<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/supreme-court-rejects-trumps-request-for-stay-in-new-york-case-5789162?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank"> the Supes in their good cop bad cop routine, refused to halt Juan Merchan's sentencing tomorrow </a>with Amy Coney Barret doing her best imitiation of Anthony Kennedy.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) "We didn't start the fire," but Kollyfornia is facing <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/weather/inferno-chaos-la-fire-spreads-hollywood-hills-2000-buildings-destroyed-over-130000?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=3752" target="_blank">unprecedented fires in Malibu, Palisades, and the Hollywood Hills:</a> 30,000 acres are on fire, forcing nearly 180,000 told to evacuate. Estimates are that it will cost $135 to $150 billion to rebuild. Because of "Unknown unknowns" as Donald Rumsfeld used to say, likley the total cost will be much higher. And, as <a href="https://petermcculloughmd.substack.com/p/like-lahaina-la-was-warned-in-2018?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1119676&post_id=154433547&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">John Leake notes</a>, like Lahaina, Kollyfornia was warned about this in 2018. In this months-old video, <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/resurfaced-trump-88574/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank">Trump correctly explained why Kollyfornia has a water problem.</a> LA <a href="https://noqreport.com/l-a-officials-complain-there-arent-enough-firefighters-after-firing-hundreds-who-refused-to-take-covid-vaccine/?utm_source=econ" target="_blank">complains about a lack of firefighters after firing hundreds who wouldn't take the China Virus vax.</a> Oh, and the <a href="https://x.com/i/status/1877473894229225754" target="_blank">brilliant Rutabaga said that they cut the power so that downed power lines wouldn't start more fires</a> and that's why there was no power for the water pumps. Gee, you fizzle-brained, pus-porcupine, THAT SOUNDS LIKE A FLAW IN THE SYSTEM TO ME. Like Hans knowing the FBI would cut the power to Nakatomi so the vault would open. And <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14271021/los-angeles-mayor-karen-bass-fires-department-budget-cuts.html" target="_blank">a leaked memo shows LA Mayor Karen Ass sought to cut another $49 million from the fire department</a> a week before the fires broke out. The <i>Washington Examiner</i> calls this an <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/editorials/3282078/california-wildfires-democrats-failed-infrastructure/" target="_blank">"Inferno of Incompetence.</a>" But this is precisely what you get with evil DEI hires, useless racist DemoKKKrats---who are overwhelmingly stupid---and a complicit media that never challenges or investigates them.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Senator <a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/01/09/john-fetterman-backs-president-trump-greenland-purchase/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">Fetterman Massacre visited Mar-a-Lago</a> and agreed that we needed to talk about acquiring Greenland. Asked what he wanted, Fetterman said he wanted to be Pope of Greenland. Just asking, are Greenlandes Catholic?</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Trump's National Security Advisor nominee Mike Walz says<a href="https://wltreport.com/2025/01/09/trump-cabinet-nominee-details-plan-clean-deep-state/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank"> they'll be accepting resignations from the Deep State at 12:01 on January 20.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>9) If the rise of the "nones" (who reject all religion) is the most important spiritual story of the 21st century,<a href="https://www.graphsaboutreligion.com/p/non-denominationalism-is-the-strongest?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1561197&post_id=153314240&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> the dominance of non-denominationalism</a> is the second most important. It is the future of American religion.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN TRANSOID NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>10) Big win against transoids <a href="https://x.com/Riley_Gaines_/status/1877391800823853333" target="_blank">as a federal court overturned Rutabaga's Title IX re-write.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>11) Total <a href="https://www.404media.co/its-total-chaos-internally-at-meta-right-now-employees-protest-zuckerbergs-anti-lgbtq-changes/" target="_blank">chaos at Meta right now</a> ("Meta" means death in Hebrew) as employees are protesting what they see as "anti-homosexual/anti-transoid" policies. The change is that Meta will now allow posters to say that transoids or homosexuals have mental illness. This eventually needs to be the direction they all head.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ECONOMIC NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>12) Ah, the old good news=bad news scenario, where a <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/yourmoney/consumer/article-14270937/surprise-job-report-sends-stocks-plummeting.html" target="_blank">good jobs report sends the stock market down because of anticipated inflation.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>13) A Canuck legislator said, <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/how-about-if-we-buy-alaska-top-canadian-politician-eyes-takeover-us-states-battle-trump?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=3749" target="_blank">"How about if we buy Alaska?"</a> Dude, you can't even afford an igloo.</p><p><br /> </p><p>14) <a href="https://irinaslav.substack.com/p/tis-the-season-for-crystal-ball-gazing?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=376351&post_id=153840649&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Irena Slav always brings the "meats" in her column.</a> Today: VW and its employee union agreed (!!) to cut 35,000 jobs this year, on top of a 30,000 loss in the auto supplier industry last year; opposition to wind turbines in the UK is growing, Black Rock just joined the net-zero exodus (!!), and the EU begins its post-Brexit crackup. All in all, a report worth saying "Huzzah!"</p><p><br /> </p><p>15) <a href="https://scitechdaily.com/fully-charged-in-just-12-minutes-korean-scientists-develop-next-gen-lithium-sulfur-battery/" target="_blank">Korean scientists have developed a next generation lithium battery that can fully recharge in 12 minutes</a>.

While it hasn't happened recently, it wasn't that long ago that it was commonplace for nations to purchase territories. First, and most obviously, we bought the Louisiana Territory in what some claim was an unconstitutional act by President Thomas Jefferson. Then, after we got a hunk of land from Me-Hee-Co in the Mexican War (they couldn't say too much because we literally had Marines in Mexico City), we bought more land from them in the Gadsden Purchase. Of course, there was the 1867 purchase of Alaska from the Russkies. Then the building of the Panama Canal and the Canal Zone, which we unwisely gave back to them under the deceased Jesus Carter. Then there were territories we flat-out owned that we just gave back---the only nation in human history to do so (Cuba, the Philippines).Greenaldn has a lot to recommend it, including a strategic water route position and minerals. I don't think Trump is serious, but it wouldn't be the first time.</p>

While it hasn't happened recently, it wasn't that long ago that it was commonplace for nations to purchase territories. First, and most obviously, we bought the Louisiana Territory in what some claim was an unconstitutional act by President Thomas Jefferson. Then, after we got a hunk of land from Me-Hee-Co in the Mexican War (they couldn't say too much because we literally had Marines in Mexico City), we bought more land from them in the Gadsden Purchase. Of course, there was the 1867 purchase of Alaska from the Russkies. Then the building of the Panama Canal and the Canal Zone, which we unwisely gave back to them under the deceased Jesus Carter. Then there were territories we flat-out owned that we just gave back---the only nation in human history to do so (Cuba, the Philippines).Greenaldn has a lot to recommend it, including a strategic water route position and minerals. I don't think Trump is serious, but it wouldn't be the first time.</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Probably the biggest political news of the week involved a pseudo-spat between the anti=H1B visa cadre in Team Trump (J.D. Vance most notably) and the pro-H1B faction led by Musk and Ramaswamy. Before anyone could get too worked up, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/musk-appears-to-soften-pro-foreign-worker-h-1b-visa-stance-amid-online-spat-5783277?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">Musk softened his stance</a> and said the H1B program needed serious reform. My guess is that it will be greatly curtailed, with only a fraction of the current H1Bs issued. Even then, those may come with proof of companies hiring 10:1 native born for every foreign born they hire.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Trump <a href="https://protrumpnews.com/totally-against-the-law-trump-blasts-dems-payments-to-celebs/" target="_blank">blasted payoffs to celebs as illegal</a>, which it is.

"<i>Three scientists at the <strong>National Center for Medical Intelligence</strong>, part of the Pentagon's Defense Intelligence Agency, conducted a scientific study that concluded that Covid-19 was <strong>manipulated in a laboratory</strong> in a risky research effort. But that <strong>analysis was at odds with the assessment of their parent agency</strong>, the Defense Intelligence Agency, and <strong>wasn't incorporated in the report presented to Biden"</strong></i></p><p><br /> </p><h3>AND FINALLY . . .</h3><p><br /> </p><p>34) George MIlls, born in Alabama, was a fabulous musician. My band, "Rampage," had just come off opening for "Steppenwolf" and "Savoy Brown" when our guitarist abruptly quit. Through keyboardist Aundra Browne, we found George. I'll never forget going into Longfellow House at Bellevue, Mississippi. George was all dressed up and playing piano and singing top 40 tunes. When he saw us, he was singing "Feelings." Now, you have to understand that George would completely make up words. Only he---or you, once you hung out with him---knew what they meant. For example, he had a saying "OTIS!" which was an exclamation like "OMG!" But he would also say, "Otis is FED!" meaning that was really good. Anyway, when he saw us, instead of "Feelings' George sang . . .</p><p><br /> </p><p>"Yeeeblings. Nothing more than Yeeeblings. Running up and down . . . all over my face." People in the audience thought he was insane, and we cackled like maniacs. George had just a few weeks previously played bass guitar on the short-lived "Howard Cosell Show" when George appeared with the crazy Cajun Fiddler, "Doug Kershaw" who did his famous song, "Louisiana Man."</p><p>George could play anything---keyboards, guitars, I think some horns. He was an great singer with a range like Edgar Winter. He played on two of our songs in the studio, "Saturday Night in Jamaica" (by Doug Mays) and "Shake it if You Got It" by Rampage. You can hear George in background vocals as well as guitar on "Shake it" but "Saturday Night in Jamaica" with him on lead vocals is not on the iTunes "<a href="https://music.apple.com/us/album/rockin-the-wall-official-soundtrack-of-the-film/389381016" target="_blank">Rockin' the Wall Motion Picture Soundtrack.</a>" So far I can't get it to load, although I have a copy.</p><p><br /> </p><p>George Mills, whom I only really knew for a year, died on December 26.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Probably the biggest political news of the week involved a pseudo-spat between the anti=H1B visa cadre in Team Trump (J.D. Vance most notably) and the pro-H1B faction led by Musk and Ramaswamy. Before anyone could get too worked up, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/musk-appears-to-soften-pro-foreign-worker-h-1b-visa-stance-amid-online-spat-5783277?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">Musk softened his stance</a> and said the H1B program needed serious reform. My guess is that it will be greatly curtailed, with only a fraction of the current H1Bs issued. Even then, those may come with proof of companies hiring 10:1 native born for every foreign born they hire.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Trump <a href="https://protrumpnews.com/totally-against-the-law-trump-blasts-dems-payments-to-celebs/" target="_blank">blasted payoffs to celebs as illegal</a>, which it is.

My band, "Rampage," had just come off opening for "Steppenwolf" and "Savoy Brown" when our guitarist abruptly quit. Through keyboardist Aundra Browne, we found George. I'll never forget going into Longfellow House at Bellevue, Mississippi. George was all dressed up and playing piano and singing top 40 tunes. When he saw us, he was singing "Feelings." Now, you have to understand that George would completely make up words. Only he---or you, once you hung out with him---knew what they meant. For example, he had a saying "OTIS!" which was an exclamation like "OMG!" But he would also say, "Otis is FED!" meaning that was really good. Anyway, when he saw us, instead of "Feelings' George sang . . .</p><p><br /> </p><p>"Yeeeblings. Nothing more than Yeeeblings. Running up and down . . . all over my face." People in the audience thought he was insane, and we cackled like maniacs. George had just a few weeks previously played bass guitar on the short-lived "Howard Cosell Show" when George appeared with the crazy Cajun Fiddler, "Doug Kershaw" who did his famous song, "Louisiana Man."</p><p>George could play anything---keyboards, guitars, I think some horns. He was an great singer with a range like Edgar Winter. He played on two of our songs in the studio, "Saturday Night in Jamaica" (by Doug Mays) and "Shake it if You Got It" by Rampage. You can hear George in background vocals as well as guitar on "Shake it" but "Saturday Night in Jamaica" with him on lead vocals is not on the iTunes "<a href="https://music.apple.com/us/album/rockin-the-wall-official-soundtrack-of-the-film/389381016" target="_blank">Rockin' the Wall Motion Picture Soundtrack.</a>" So far I can't get it to load, although I have a copy.</p><p><br /> </p><p>George Mills, whom I only really knew for a year, died on December 26. I'll remember him always.</p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_b48ad9cc4d554b9bb7d0138da36e9c29~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_427,h_1146,al_c,lg_1,q_85,enc_auto/221b12_b48ad9cc4d554b9bb7d0138da36e9c29~mv2.jpg" alt="" /><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_d1e0e6051165456396a4fbf4df690ba1~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_90,enc_auto/221b12_d1e0e6051165456396a4fbf4df690ba1~mv2.png" alt="" />

As I wrote a couple of years agoi, the House has made itself irrelevant by failing repeatedly in its number 1 duty, producing a budget.

Ah, Jimmah, yah still don't get it. The very CHARACTER of leftism is to not tolerate any questioning its sacred cows.</p><p><br /> </p><p>13) Not good. <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-14207617/Radiation-levels-New-York-spike-mysterious-drones-terrorize-Northeast.html" target="_blank">Radiation levels have risen in New York</a>, giving support to the notion that the drone swarms were sniffing for a rogue nuke device.

First, international coal use will hit a record high this year. Second, Canada has walked by its "net zero" goals by 15 years (to 2050). Let's read from the Canucks' OWN REPORT on "renewables," shall we? "<i>The projects funded with this authority, which involve innovations in clean energy, advanced transportation, and tribal energy are inherently risky in part because these projects may have struggled to secure funding from traditional sources such as commercial banks and private equity investors.” </i>But it gets even better: having browbeaten and subsidized the various energy producers to waste money on wind, solar, and batteries, England is now facing an "industrial exodus" unless it can <i>force</i> consumers to buy their low-energy crap. Companies now trying to comply with the "net zero" nonsense are "pricing themselves out of the market."</p><p>Folks, increasingly I'm wondering if Canada, Mexico, England/UK and even Germany aren't just doing all this to be come citizens of the MAGA USA?</p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_b2d5e90d5f34499fa15afd822716784b~mv2.jpeg/v1/fill/w_308,h_223,al_c,lg_1,q_80,enc_auto/221b12_b2d5e90d5f34499fa15afd822716784b~mv2.jpeg" alt="" /><h3>IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>33) The grotesque little Chowdergnome<a href="https://nypost.com/2024/12/18/media/abc-parent-disney-didnt-think-it-would-beat-trump-in-court-report/" target="_blank"> George Snuffulupagus was warned repeatedly by ABC lawyers not to use the word "rape."</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>34) Top exec tells <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14210569/msnbc-republicans-bias-mark-lazarus-joy-reid-rachel-maddow.html" target="_blank">MSNBC to add more "Republican voices" and that lib hosts can expect pay cuts.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CHINA VIRUS NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>35) In just the latest study validating RFK, Jr., Scott Atlas, President Trump and many others, <a href="https://bmccardiovascdisord.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12872-024-04376-y" target="_blank">HCQ was found to be completely safe with no side effects in its treatment of the China Virus.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>AND FINALLY . . .</h3><p><br /> </p><p>36) The <a href="https://notthebee.com/article/kentucky-humane-society-president-arrested-on-check-notes-animal-cruelty-charges" target="_blank">Kentucky Humane Society President was indicted for animal cruelty</a>.

Ah, Jimmah, yah still don't get it.

Let's read from the Canucks' OWN REPORT on "renewables," shall we? "<i>The projects funded with this authority, which involve innovations in clean energy, advanced transportation, and tribal energy are inherently risky in part because these projects may have struggled to secure funding from traditional sources such as commercial banks and private equity investors.” </i>But it gets even better: having browbeaten and subsidized the various energy producers to waste money on wind, solar, and batteries, England is now facing an "industrial exodus" unless it can <i>force</i> consumers to buy their low-energy crap. Companies now trying to comply with the "net zero" nonsense are "pricing themselves out of the market."</p><p>Folks, increasingly I'm wondering if Canada, Mexico, England/UK and even Germany aren't just doing all this to be come citizens of the MAGA USA?</p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_b2d5e90d5f34499fa15afd822716784b~mv2.jpeg/v1/fill/w_308,h_223,al_c,lg_1,q_80,enc_auto/221b12_b2d5e90d5f34499fa15afd822716784b~mv2.jpeg" alt="" /><h3>IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>33) The grotesque little Chowdergnome<a href="https://nypost.com/2024/12/18/media/abc-parent-disney-didnt-think-it-would-beat-trump-in-court-report/" target="_blank"> George Snuffulupagus was warned repeatedly by ABC lawyers not to use the word "rape."</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>34) Top exec tells <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14210569/msnbc-republicans-bias-mark-lazarus-joy-reid-rachel-maddow.html" target="_blank">MSNBC to add more "Republican voices" and that lib hosts can expect pay cuts.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CHINA VIRUS NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>35) In just the latest study validating RFK, Jr., Scott Atlas, President Trump and many others, <a href="https://bmccardiovascdisord.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12872-024-04376-y" target="_blank">HCQ was found to be completely safe with no side effects in its treatment of the China Virus.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>AND FINALLY . . .</h3><p><br /> </p><p>36) The <a href="https://notthebee.com/article/kentucky-humane-society-president-arrested-on-check-notes-animal-cruelty-charges" target="_blank">Kentucky Humane Society President was indicted for animal cruelty</a>.

      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) President Trump <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-attends-army-navy-football-game-with-key-political-allies-5776570?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">attended the Army-Navy game </a>with Daniel Penny, J.D. Vance, Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard, Mike Johnson, and Ron DeSantis. When the National Anthem was played, PRESIDENT Trump saluted. Cuz he has always been president, like David, who was anointed to be king even when Saul still sat on the throne without the anointing.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) There is <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/pressure-mounts-over-mysterious-new-jersey-drones-what-we-know-so-far-5776153?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2024-12-14&src_cmp=mb-2024-12-14&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">growing concern about large numbers of drones</a>---from regular "hobby" sized to auto-sized---over New Jersey and New York. However, we had a flock of them over my house five days ago, carrying out maneuvers but in formation. Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio <a href="https://wltreport.com/2024/12/15/just-ohio-air-force-base-confirms-airspace-closure/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">had to shut down due to drones.</a> Governors say "nothing to worry about."

Imagine that. Bureaucrats holding a meeting about a potential crisis.

The <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2024/12/13/trump-climate-threats-scientists-00194253" target="_blank">geophysical "scientists" who depend on government money are depressed and demoralized</a> by a Trump administration.

I assume that comes with a large soapbox so people can see the Snuffling One. Personally I would have demanded he also state "I am very short and I am not a reporter but a partisan hack."</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Shocked I tell ya: <a href="https://x.com/its_The_Dr/status/1868144544950129126" target="_blank">one of the protesters who got violent on J6 (Patriot Day) is a fascist Antifa plant.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Slowly some libtoids are starting to get it. <a href="https://wltreport.com/2024/12/14/van-jones-president-donald-trump-is-smarter-than/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">Van Jones says "Donald Trump is smarter than all of us."</a> Always has been, miniVan.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) President Trump <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-attends-army-navy-football-game-with-key-political-allies-5776570?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">attended the Army-Navy game </a>with Daniel Penny, J.D. Vance, Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard, Mike Johnson, and Ron DeSantis. When the National Anthem was played, PRESIDENT Trump saluted. Cuz he has always been president, like David, who was anointed to be king even when Saul still sat on the throne without the anointing.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) There is <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/pressure-mounts-over-mysterious-new-jersey-drones-what-we-know-so-far-5776153?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2024-12-14&src_cmp=mb-2024-12-14&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">growing concern about large numbers of drones</a>---from regular "hobby" sized to auto-sized---over New Jersey and New York. However, we had a flock of them over my house five days ago, carrying out maneuvers but in formation. Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio <a href="https://wltreport.com/2024/12/15/just-ohio-air-force-base-confirms-airspace-closure/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">had to shut down due to drones.</a> Governors say "nothing to worry about." Some have crashed, but no word yet on what was found. Now they are <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/mystery-drone-swarms-spread-to-maryland-5776521?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2024-12-15&src_cmp=mb-2024-12-15&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">seen in Maryland</a>. <a href="https://disswire.com/new-jersey-sheriffs-office-reports-50-drones-suddenly-emerged-from-ocean-outpaced-military-aircraft/" target="_blank">This article</a> seems to confirm what I wrote in my <a href="https://larrys.substack.com/p/droning-on" target="_blank">substack</a>, that they are U.S. Navy in origin. <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/12/14/us-news/nj-county-sheriff-sends-own-drone-up-to-follow-mystery-flying-objects/" target="_blank">One New Jersey sheriff had enough</a> and sent his own drone to tail one, which he said was large and "fixed wing" as in Predator drones. <a href="https://www.defense.gov/News/News-Stories/Article/Article/4002374/joint-staff-addresses-drones-over-new-jersey-military-installations/" target="_blank">At any rate, it looks like a whole bunch of agencies held a meeting</a>. Imagine that. Bureaucrats holding a meeting about a potential crisis. And, gee whiz, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/federal-officials-will-deploy-high-tech-system-to-new-york-after-drones-shut-down-airport-governor-says-5776749?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2024-12-15-2&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2024-12-15-2&utm_medium=email&utm_term=digital&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">the feds are going to "deploy" something in New York after the drones shut down the airport there.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>3) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/former-house-speaker-nancy-pelosi-hospitalized-after-injury-spokesman-says-5775990?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2024-12-13-4&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2024-12-13-4&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">Botoxic fell and was hospitalized in Luxembourg where she had a hip replacement.</a> That's it. No comment. Well, ok. The doctors confirmed they could not do a soul replacement at that time.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) <a href="https://www.wsj.com/opinion/harris-campaign-remains-in-denial-ad448976" target="_blank">Cackles' campaign manager insists she ran a flawless campaign.</a> Actually that so much good news it's hard to believe. 1) They are still in denial; 2) IF they ran a "flawless campaign" (which never happens) and Trump STILL kicked her ass, then other candidates have no chance.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) "Gooooooood." The <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2024/12/13/trump-climate-threats-scientists-00194253" target="_blank">geophysical "scientists" who depend on government money are depressed and demoralized</a> by a Trump administration.

I assume that comes with a large soapbox so people can see the Snuffling One. Personally I would have demanded he also state "I am very short and I am not a reporter but a partisan hack."</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Shocked I tell ya: <a href="https://x.com/its_The_Dr/status/1868144544950129126" target="_blank">one of the protesters who got violent on J6 (Patriot Day) is a fascist Antifa plant.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Slowly some libtoids are starting to get it. <a href="https://wltreport.com/2024/12/14/van-jones-president-donald-trump-is-smarter-than/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">Van Jones says "Donald Trump is smarter than all of us."</a> Always has been, miniVan.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) President Trump's SecDef nominee, <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-pete-hegseth-says-trump-backs-him-wont-withdraw-from-nomination" target="_blank">Pete Hegseth, says as long as Trump backs him, he won't withdraw.</a> I am beginning to think Hegseth is "Lee" at Chancellorsville, fixing the Union Army's attention on him while Stonewall Jackson marches around the flank. In this case, Jackson is Tulsi, RFK, and Kash.</p><p>Suddenly no attention at all is focused on them, suggesting they may coast through. As of today, I think Hegseth is only 2-3 votes short. This story says there are <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/12/04/us-news/zero-senate-gopers-oppose-pete-hegseth-for-defense-pick-as-he-vows-to-never-back-down-amid-misconduct-claims-sources/" target="_blank">"zero" opposed,</a> but I don't believe that. And I do believe that Fetterman Massacre, the Human Ox, might be a yes.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) I really hope no one is listening to liberal <a href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/economic-populism-opiate-of-the-democrats" target="_blank">Ruy Teixeira:</a> he notes that the DemoKKKrats problems are far deeper than tinkering around the edges of "economic populism" (i.e., Dinobernieism) but rather almost all the voters who shifted right cited multiple issues with the DemoKKKrat party as moving way too far left. Those issues included immigration, transoidism, and wokism. For example, 66% of working-class voters thought the DemoKKKrats had moved too far on all these issues. Among swing voters, cultural issues were THE most important concerns.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) And this<a href="https://www.joshbarro.com/p/trump-didnt-deserve-to-win-but-we" target="_blank"> lib whines that Trump "didn't deserve to win, but we deserved to lose" </a>because of horrid governance. For example, one judge ruled that New Kabul (New York City) cannot even padlock the doors of illegal weed shops.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4)This <a href="https://blackmon.substack.com/p/bidens-epa-is-throwing-gold-bars?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=712558&post_id=152610746&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">evil gutterbucket DemoKKKrat brags that the Rutabaga administration is trying to spend money as fast as possible</a> before getting the boot, like throwing gold bars off the <i>Titanic</i>.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Jeff Bezos<a href="https://protrumpnews.com/jeff-bezos-optimistic-about-second-trump-term-willing-to-help-trump-admin-cut-regulations/" target="_blank"> is "optimistic" about Trump 2.0, wants to help reduce regulations, </a>and is proud that the <i>WaCompost</i> didn't endorse.. Er, Jeffrey old man, the right move would have been to have endorsed Trump. But whatever.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) The Department of INJustice <a href="https://wltreport.com/2024/12/05/doj-investigates-allegations-against-jack-smith/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">is supposedly investigating allegations against Count Dooku</a> (Jack Smith).</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) A powerful new DOGE rule <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14161837/first-major-doge-directive-elon-musk-vivek-ramaswamy-joni-ernst-teleworkers.html" target="_blank">will force millions back to work</a>, and, we hope, many of them quit.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Meanwhile Rutabaga, on his way out,<a href="https://amgreatness.com/2024/12/05/scoop-biden-regime-quietly-revokes-veterans-hiring-preference-for-civil-service-jobs/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=38031" target="_blank"> is doing as much damage as he can, now revoking veterans' hiring preferences.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>9) Rutabaga <a href="https://wltreport.com/2024/12/04/report-biden-considers-preemptive-pardons-before-trump-takes/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">is considering pre-emptive pardons</a> for Liz "Clubsterbomb" Cheney, Dr. Fallacy, and many others. Unfortunately for him, O.J., D.B. Cooper, Jack the Ripper, and the kidnapper of the Lindbergh baby are all dead now.

Heck, we all are richer. I'm about fie dollah richer.</p><p>12) Commissioners at Miami-Dade county, once a pure DemoKKKrat stronghold,<a href="https://www.oann.com/newsroom/miami-dade-commissioners-approve-renaming-street-donald-j-trump-avenue/" target="_blank"> proposed renaming a street Donald J. Trump avenue. i</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>13) <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14160575/UnitedHealthcare-CEO-Brian-Thompsons-widow-breaks-silence-reveal-received-threats-shot-dead.html" target="_blank">Cryptic comments "depose," "deny," "defend" </a>were etched on the bullets that were used to kill the United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

      <title>Today&apos;s News, December 4, 2024</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/flashback-false-democrat-narrative-respect-rule-law-exposed?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=3548" target="_blank">Leftoids and the old, fraudulent "conservative" neocons</a> are all in disarray over the Crackhead pardon. Of course, the useless "Bul-shit" (<i>Bulwark</i>) is for it. The reaction of the scabular right, including Bul-shit, NRO, Erickson, Cook, and all the rest of the pretzel-lickers, promps me to engage in a short review of who these people are. I can hate but respect DemoKKKrats because of their consistency: they are always evil and portray themselves that way. But the fecal-inhalers on the so-called right are different. They are liars who pretend to be "principled."</p><p><br /> </p><p>Who are they? They are people who for 20 years got away with being the token conservative on CNN, on panels, and in cocktail parties. They were straw men, the Washington Generals whose purpose was to present an unconvincing case for conservative ideas that could easily be knocked down the the liberals. Whether on abortion, immigration, or inflation, these rectalmonkeys only advocated positions they <i><strong>truly believed would never be implemented</strong></i>, hence like Steve Martin's "Theodoric of York" character on Saturday Night Live, could at the end of the day go, "Naaaaaah." Their liberal hosts always knew the role of these cuticle-sniffers. What changed? Trump. Trump actually intended to do what he said he would do---end foreign wars, rebuild the American industrial base, end abortion and to stop the illegal criminal invasion.</p><p><br /> </p><p>Now these walking Hemorrhoids had to actually defend reality, and the mask came off. Every one of them became a Trump critic because he was doing what they had pretended to favor for years. If he was successful, they wouldn't have their cushy little CNN gigs and be welcome at the cocktail parties. They are Vichy French, siding with the fascists to keep their wine list.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Great review by Daniel Street of the <a href="https://danielrstreet.substack.com/p/the-worst-media-propaganda-of-the?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=865083&post_id=152415556&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">incredible lies about Rutabaga from the Hoax News media during the campaign</a>.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Meanwhile, we learned that <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/jill-biden-pressured-joe-to-issue-hunter-a-pardon-cnn-report?utm_campaign=64501" target="_blank">the Senior Skank pressured Rutabaga for the Crackhead pardon</a>, and that the Crackhead's ex landlord says <a href="https://wltreport.com/2024/12/02/hunter-bidens-ex-landlord-says-he-owes-300k/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">he owes $300,000 in back rent.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>4) The <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1863688629387927786" target="_blank">North Carolina state senate overrode the governor's veto of an election integrity law.</a> The vote in the house, is reportedly very close---within three votes.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) A poll shows <a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/2026-senate-poll-shows-lara-trump-surging-ahead-of-establishment-republican-mace/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank">Lara Trump, head of the RNC, has a big lead over Thom (Mel) Tillis </a>in the NC Senate race.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) First Matt Gaetz, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trumps-nominee-for-dea-chief-withdraws-from-consideration-5770281?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2024-12-03-5&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2024-12-03-5&utm_medium=email&utm_term=digital&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5ZwpC2sLA%2B7YHtWRLH5R9xkIHK2cN2s6OsMvn4fLQH7QYRE5kM7gr" target="_blank">now Chad Chronister has withdrawn from Trump's nomination, </a>this time for DEA Secretary. Chronister was a DeSantis pick and was despised by MAGA. May be part of the FL senate negotiations. Could have been a sop to DeSantis for the gov to turn around and select a true Trumper in the senate seat. Meanwhile Trump named long-time loyalist <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1864337963863220476" target="_blank">Peter Navarro as a senior advisor on trade.</a> He also selected <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1864340637979426865" target="_blank">Daniel Driscoll as Secretary of the Army,</a> a warrior, not a desk guy. As of this podcast, it looks like Pete Hegseth may have the votes.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) When President Trump met with Justa Turd-o of Canada, <a href="https://wltreport.com/2024/12/02/president-trump-makes-bold-statement-trudeau-deal-them/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">he said the Canucks would play ball on trade and immigration or he'd make them the 51st state</a>. Naww President Trump. Too many D electoral votes. Break them up into provinces where the Rs get maybe 12 new senate seats.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Rutabaga apparently feels like he needs to spend the U.S. into total bankruptcy before he leaves,<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/biden-pledges-1-billion-in-aid-for-displaced-africans-5770289?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2024-12-04&src_cmp=mb-2024-12-04&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank"> dishing out yet another $1 billion to African countries</a>. What are they being invaded by the Russkies too?</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) The <a href="https://www.channel3000.com/news/army-general-who-oversaw-afghanistan-withdrawal-promoted-to-four-star-officer-after-gop-senator-drops/article_86ed1d87-2846-5a2f-9b8a-b415526ac811.html" target="_blank">Army general who oversaw the botched Afghanistan withdrawal got promoted.</a> Of course he did.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) In Kollyfornia <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/newsom-proposes-25m-from-state-legislature-trump-proof-california" target="_blank">Gruesome is seeking $25 million to "Trump proof" the state.</a> Good luck. You might ask South Carolina under Andrew Jackson how that worked.</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) A judge in Georgia ordered <a href="https://x.com/BehizyTweets/status/1864017476842902004" target="_blank">Fat Fani Willis to release all communications between her and Count Dooku </a>(Jack Smith) on the Patriot Day (J6) case. Meanwhile, Fat Fani lost another case when rapper <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14153525/embarrasment-fani-willis-young-thug-jail-innocent-deamonte-kendrick.html" target="_blank">"Young Thug" she was prosecuting was found not guilty</a>. Of what? Being young, or being a thug?</p><p><br /> </p><p>12) The <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/unitedhealthcare-ceo-killed-in-manhattan-by-masked-gunman-reports-say-5770620?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2024-12-04-1&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2024-12-04-1&utm_medium=email&utm_term=digital&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5ZwpC2sLA%2B7YHtWRLH5R9xkIHK2cN2s6OsMvn4fLQH7QYRE5kM7gr" target="_blank">CEO of United Healthcare was killed in Manhattan</a> by a gunman. Cuz, you know, that city is so safe and "crime is down."</p><p><br /> </p><p>13) Christopher Rufo has <a href="https://christopherrufo.com/p/counterrevolution-blueprint?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1248321&post_id=152534731&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">a great blueprint for exocising woke and leftist chowderism from gubment</a>. Start about halfway down for his specific recommendations.</p><p><br /> </p><p>14) <a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2024/12/trump_should_bring_a_constitutional_gun_to_the_senate_swamp_knife_fight.html" target="_blank">America's worst mayor, Tiffany Henyard</a>, was denied a spot on the ballot. Meanwhile Groomer City (SF) has a <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/12/04/san-franciscos-new-mayor-faces-nearly-1-billion-deficit-despite-federal-pandemic-cash/" target="_blank">$1 billion deficit under it's useless toepicker mayor despite oodles of China Virus cash.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>15) Great idea here on how J.D. Vance, as the presiding officer of the Senate, <a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2024/12/trump_should_bring_a_constitutional_gun_to_the_senate_swamp_knife_fight.html" target="_blank">constitutionally can run the senate, not Yertle.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>16) The <a href="https://justthenews.com/nation/states/center-square/ninth-circuit-rules-favor-federal-deportation" target="_blank">Ninth Circuit ruled in favor of federal deportation over local objections. </a>Good.</p><p><br /> </p><p>17) Imagine that. A couple of days after President Trump threatened to re-take Mexico City (more or less), <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/mexican-officials-dissolve-migrant-caravan-headed-to-us-activists-say-5769880?utm_source=Morningbrief&src_src=Morningbrief&utm_campaign=mb-2024-12-04&src_cmp=mb-2024-12-04&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">Me-hee-co disbanded some migrant caravans.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN TRANSOID NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>18) In Benghazi-by-the-Lake (Chicago), <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/chicago-teachers-union-demands-transgender-curriculum-after-80-of-students-cant-do-math/" target="_blank">the teachers union wants a transoid curriculum even thought 80% of the students can't do math.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>19) The LPGA <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/golf/article-14158243/lpga-tour-bans-transgender-policy-change.html" target="_blank">reversed its transoid policy</a> and will now only allow real women or men who "became" women before puberty to compete---which still defies science that says that even such men have an advantage over women.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ECONOMIC NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>20) <a href="https://wolfstreet.com/2024/12/02/factory-construction-spending-boom-soars-to-new-record-16-yoy-242-since-2019-result-of-a-corporate-strategic-rethink/" target="_blank">Factory construction spending soared to a new high.</a> While it's too recent to be attributed to Trump's election, it is entirely in line with reports that corporate America thought Trump would win since summer.</p><p><br /> </p><p>21) Meanwhile the number of <a href="https://confoundedinterest.net/2024/12/03/jolt-job-opening-unexpectedly-surge-with-biggest-increase-in-14-months-quits-also-soar/" target="_blank">job openings soared.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>22) Big Pharma freaking out after future HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy <a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/big-pharma-panics-after-rfk-makes-major-vow-to-ban-industrys-key-tool-mstef/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank">says he'll prohibit the companies from using current marketing methods.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>23) President Trump said he <a href="https://protrumpnews.com/buyer-beware-trump-says-hell-block-us-steel-takeover/" target="_blank">would block Nippon Steel from acquiring U.S. Steel.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>24) GM just <a href="https://www.bridgemi.com/business-watch/gm-sells-stake-michigan-ev-battery-factory-subsidized-state" target="_blank">sold its stake in a large Michigan battery maker.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>25) Cargill's <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/yourmoney/consumer/article-14153567/cargill-job-layoffs-grocery-prices-falling.html" target="_blank">announced mass layoffs.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>26) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/business/intel-ceo-retires-after-companys-multibillion-dollar-losses-5770176?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">Intel's CEO retired</a> after the company posted huge losses.</p><p><br /> </p><p>27) Vivek Ramaswamy says the <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/ramaswamy-says-does-7-5-billion-loan-for-battery-plants-should-be-canceled-5769871?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">Department of Energy's big $7.5 billion battery loan should be canceled.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>28) Now the FBI says <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-14158601/FBI-warning-iPhone-Android-stop-sending-texts.html" target="_blank">you shouldn't send text messages between iPhones and Androids</a>.

Whether on abortion, immigration, or inflation, these rectalmonkeys only advocated positions they <i><strong>truly believed would never be implemented</strong></i>, hence like Steve Martin's "Theodoric of York" character on Saturday Night Live, could at the end of the day go, "Naaaaaah." Their liberal hosts always knew the role of these cuticle-sniffers. What changed? Trump. Trump actually intended to do what he said he would do---end foreign wars, rebuild the American industrial base, end abortion and to stop the illegal criminal invasion.</p><p><br /> </p><p>Now these walking Hemorrhoids had to actually defend reality, and the mask came off. Every one of them became a Trump critic because he was doing what they had pretended to favor for years. If he was successful, they wouldn't have their cushy little CNN gigs and be welcome at the cocktail parties. They are Vichy French, siding with the fascists to keep their wine list.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Great review by Daniel Street of the <a href="https://danielrstreet.substack.com/p/the-worst-media-propaganda-of-the?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=865083&post_id=152415556&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">incredible lies about Rutabaga from the Hoax News media during the campaign</a>.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Meanwhile, we learned that <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/jill-biden-pressured-joe-to-issue-hunter-a-pardon-cnn-report?utm_campaign=64501" target="_blank">the Senior Skank pressured Rutabaga for the Crackhead pardon</a>, and that the Crackhead's ex landlord says <a href="https://wltreport.com/2024/12/02/hunter-bidens-ex-landlord-says-he-owes-300k/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">he owes $300,000 in back rent.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>4) The <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1863688629387927786" target="_blank">North Carolina state senate overrode the governor's veto of an election integrity law.</a> The vote in the house, is reportedly very close---within three votes.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) A poll shows <a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/2026-senate-poll-shows-lara-trump-surging-ahead-of-establishment-republican-mace/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank">Lara Trump, head of the RNC, has a big lead over Thom (Mel) Tillis </a>in the NC Senate race.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) First Matt Gaetz, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trumps-nominee-for-dea-chief-withdraws-from-consideration-5770281?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2024-12-03-5&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2024-12-03-5&utm_medium=email&utm_term=digital&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5ZwpC2sLA%2B7YHtWRLH5R9xkIHK2cN2s6OsMvn4fLQH7QYRE5kM7gr" target="_blank">now Chad Chronister has withdrawn from Trump's nomination, </a>this time for DEA Secretary.

      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) President Trump has assembled a cabinet of stone-cold Swamp killers, with his final "big name" pick, <a href="https://protrumpnews.com/trump-nominates-kash-patel-for-fbi-director/" target="_blank">Kash Patel,</a> for FBI director. Here is <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/article/tracking-every-trump-cabinet-pick-5758519?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">a great chart</a> of every Trump pick: Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy in DOGE, Tulsi Gabbard as DNI, Pete Hegseth at Defense, Patel at FBI, RFK, Jr. at HHS, Burgum in Interior, Wright at Engergy (an absolutely great pick), Bhattacharya at NIH, Ratcliffe at CIA, Wiles as Chief of Staff, Stefanik at UN, Zelden at EPA, and Walz as NSA is a formidable group. There are a few question marks---Noem as Homeland Security Advisor, Biondi as AG, Rubio at State. See <a href="https://skeshel.substack.com/p/the-three-amigos-of-government-demolition?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=798984&post_id=152403857&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Seth Keshel's column </a>on the "Three Amigos of Government Demolition." PS, Tom Homan as "Border Czar" doesn't need senate confirmation.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2024/11/29/anti-trump-movement-tatters-00191914" target="_blank"><i>Politico</i> agreeing with me</a> that a) there will be no "resist" bull manure this time around and b) the whole anti-Trump movement is deader than Joy Behar's brain cells. Not only did they use up all their energy from 2017-2020, but they stole the election for the worst, as people saw their pigmuffin ideas in action with the lobotomized Rutabaga.

Now <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1863627873682141471" target="_blank">DemoKKKrats are pushing for Rutabaga to preemptively pardon Jack (Count Dooku) Smith.</a> And some are even hoping <a href="https://x.com/amuse/status/1863422760539623496" target="_blank">Rutabaga will pardon himself.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>10) Pay close attention to this: there is a war developing between New York and Kollyfornia. During the campaign, former governor Nipplepin Venthoarder (Andrew Cuomo) said good things about Trump. Then Mayor of New Kabul, Eric the Red Adams, started playing ball by closing the migrant hotels. Today, <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1862908429309772214" target="_blank">Governor Hock-a-lugie says New York will cooperate with ICE.</a> Meanwhile Gruesome in Kollyfornia is doubling down on illegal invaders.

Certainly Nipplepin wants back on the national stage. And Hock-a-lugie is no doubt looking at the polling from Election 2024: Trump lost by just over 11 points, a gain of over 12 points since 2020. But here's the latest. Upon learning that <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/12/01/us-news/nyc-pols-demand-crackdown-after-revelation-about-criminal-migrant-population-approaching-60k/" target="_blank">illegal criminal invaders now have reached 60,000 in New Kabul (NYC) local pols have demanded a crackdown.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>11) Zero's senior political strategist, <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1863264821732691996" target="_blank">David "Axehandle" Axelrod says losing 90% of the counties in America is just not a strategy for survival.</a> Except then he offers his sage advice: to appoint a "technician to oversee the operations of the party."

There are a few question marks---Noem as Homeland Security Advisor, Biondi as AG, Rubio at State.

Very good review of this nonsense by the President.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) The Hoax News media is abuzz with claims that <a href="https://wltreport.com/2024/11/29/rumors-are-swirling-aoc-considering-presidential-run-2028/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">Occasional Cortex will run in 2028</a>. Good luck. This barfly barista couldn't beat Trump if he spotted her 260 EVs.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) Aaaaannnnd there it is. <a href="https://x.com/kadiagoba/status/1863380970617135423/photo/1" target="_blank">Rutabaga pardoned the crackhead, just as I expected.</a> Predictably, the Hoax News media is going with "Republicans are mad" rather than the actual story of the Crackhead's criminality, illustrating yet another reason the Hoax News media is irrelevant. And the lying Rutabaga said he hadn't considered it previously, <a href="https://protrumpnews.com/biden-discussed-pardon-months-ago-despite-public-denials/" target="_blank">when he is on record discussingit months ago.</a> Many top <a href="https://www.dailyfetched.com/top-democrats-react-to-biden-pardoning-son-no-one-is-above-the-law/" target="_blank">DemoKKKrats feigned outrage</a>---the old "No one is above the law"---except when it is a DemoKKKrat President you actually could impeach and convict (i.e., Bill Clinton). Believe me, no DemoKKKrat really cares. Except once you open the door . . . Now <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1863627873682141471" target="_blank">DemoKKKrats are pushing for Rutabaga to preemptively pardon Jack (Count Dooku) Smith.</a> And some are even hoping <a href="https://x.com/amuse/status/1863422760539623496" target="_blank">Rutabaga will pardon himself.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>10) Pay close attention to this: there is a war developing between New York and Kollyfornia. During the campaign, former governor Nipplepin Venthoarder (Andrew Cuomo) said good things about Trump. Then Mayor of New Kabul, Eric the Red Adams, started playing ball by closing the migrant hotels. Today, <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1862908429309772214" target="_blank">Governor Hock-a-lugie says New York will cooperate with ICE.</a> Meanwhile Gruesome in Kollyfornia is doubling down on illegal invaders.

Certainly Nipplepin wants back on the national stage. And Hock-a-lugie is no doubt looking at the polling from Election 2024: Trump lost by just over 11 points, a gain of over 12 points since 2020. But here's the latest. Upon learning that <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/12/01/us-news/nyc-pols-demand-crackdown-after-revelation-about-criminal-migrant-population-approaching-60k/" target="_blank">illegal criminal invaders now have reached 60,000 in New Kabul (NYC) local pols have demanded a crackdown.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>11) Zero's senior political strategist, <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1863264821732691996" target="_blank">David "Axehandle" Axelrod says losing 90% of the counties in America is just not a strategy for survival.</a> Except then he offers his sage advice: to appoint a "technician to oversee the operations of the party."

      <title>TODAY&apos;S NEWS, November 20-22, 2024</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) DemoKKKrats have <a href="https://protrumpnews.com/matt-gaetz-withdraws-name-from-ag-consideration/" target="_blank">successfully forced Matt Gaetz to withdraw</a> from AG consideration. Gaetz cited his nomination becoming a "distraction" to the Trump team. <a href="https://amgreatness.com/2024/11/22/morning-greatness-trump-nominates-floridas-pam-bondi-for-attorney-general/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=35057" target="_blank">Trump nominated former FL AG Pam Biondi as AG.</a> Not thrilled about this pick. She has been ok at some low level stuff, but there is no indication she will be the Vlad the Impaler that this administration is going to need. And even worse, the Hoax News Media keeps insisting Trump is looking at an absolute Deep State, Mike Rogers, the failed MI senate candidate, for FBI. If he is the pick, Trump's war on the Swamp would come to a screeching halt. Meanwhile, <a href="https://protrumpnews.com/matt-gaetz-withdraws-name-from-ag-consideration/" target="_blank">Marty Makary, a China Virus protocols critic, is in line for FDA commissioner.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) President Trump's new press secretary Karoline Leavitt <a href="https://pjnewsletter.com/trumps-new-hire-press-sec/?utm_source=ptnews&utm_medium=news" target="_blank">opens every staff session with prayer</a>. How nice to have God invited back into government. <a href="https://wltreport.com/2024/11/21/heres-everything-you-need-know-about-pam-bondi/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">Dan Bongino</a> is being considered for head of the Secret Service.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) By the way, my <a href="https://larrys.substack.com/p/gaetz-and-the-frightful-four" target="_blank">court guru Zen Master notes that it is entirely constitutional for V.P. J.D. Vance to break ties in Senate confirmations.</a> The Constitution declares so unequivocally (i.e., no stated limitations) and it was used by both Biden and Trump already to confirm candidates.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) The <i>Wall Street Journal </i>labeled Trump's election<a href="https://archive.is/RvVU7#selection-551.0-1811.57" target="_blank"> a "hostile takeover"</a> of the Deep State.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Although this is spun as a MAGA victory,<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/senate-republicans-democrats-reach-deal-giving-trump-more-judicial-selections-5764348?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2024-11-22-1&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2024-11-22-1&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5ZwpC2sLA%2B7YHtWRLH5R9xkIHK2cN2s6OsMvn4fLQH7QYRE5kM7gr" target="_blank"> in reality the Rs in the senate gave the DemoKKKrats 13 lower level judicial picks now for four higher level picks next year. </a>They could have held out for all of them. Zen Master counters that many of the spots are in blue states and the "blue slip" process where by a sitting senator can kill an appointment in his state would have meant Trump wouldn't get many of his picks. However, two of those we supposedly "got" for next year at the appellate level were based on judges retiring. Now they may reconsider if it is Trump doing the selections. To put in football draft analogy: we traded 13 backups who we could not trade for 3 starters, two of whom may decided they don't want to help us and stay on the field hurting us.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/supreme-court/3235378/colorado-to-pay-1-5-million-for-stifling-web-designers-free-speech/" target="_blank">Colorado must pay a web designer $1.5 million for stifling free speech</a> regarding Lorie Smith's refusal to make homosexual wedding invitations. Too bad the governor and members of the state legislature don't have to pay this instead of the taxpayers.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) The onrushing fracture in the DemoKKKrat Party (yes, another one) is the tecchie vs green split. The techhies need power and lots of it---far more than solar/wind/batteries can even remotely produce. So their are what are called "nuclear power greens." But don't be mislead. <a href="https://quillette.com/2024/11/20/nuclear-power-is-already-great-greens-environmentalism/?ref=quillette-daily-newsletter" target="_blank">They really don't like ANY current nuclear power</a>, and the changes they would make would possibly make nukes as impractical as solar is. In a related column, <a href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/throw-the-groups-under-the-bus?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=239058&post_id=151959510&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Ruy Teixeira, </a>one of the few sensible DemoKKKrats left, pointed out that the woke "groups" should be "thrown under the bus," and the DemoKKKrats should return to the working class. Don't think they can. But the techhie vs. green split in the DemoKKKrat Party that is coming is like an asteroid and none of them, including Ruy, see it. More proof they are collapsing: <a href="https://puck.news/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/November-2024-Voter-Omnibus-PUCK-Topline.pdf" target="_blank">DemoKKKrats want Cackles to run again in 2028</a>. As the Duke of Wellington said of Napoleon at Waterloo, 'They keep coming on in the same old way and we keep sending them back in the same old way."</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk have <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2024/11/20/musk-ramaswamy-government-cuts/" target="_blank">put out a road map for their Department of Government Efficiency.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>9) Remember the national "popular vote compact" that would give all the electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote?

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) DemoKKKrats have <a href="https://protrumpnews.com/matt-gaetz-withdraws-name-from-ag-consideration/" target="_blank">successfully forced Matt Gaetz to withdraw</a> from AG consideration. Gaetz cited his nomination becoming a "distraction" to the Trump team. <a href="https://amgreatness.com/2024/11/22/morning-greatness-trump-nominates-floridas-pam-bondi-for-attorney-general/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=35057" target="_blank">Trump nominated former FL AG Pam Biondi as AG.</a> Not thrilled about this pick. She has been ok at some low level stuff, but there is no indication she will be the Vlad the Impaler that this administration is going to need. And even worse, the Hoax News Media keeps insisting Trump is looking at an absolute Deep State, Mike Rogers, the failed MI senate candidate, for FBI. If he is the pick, Trump's war on the Swamp would come to a screeching halt. Meanwhile, <a href="https://protrumpnews.com/matt-gaetz-withdraws-name-from-ag-consideration/" target="_blank">Marty Makary, a China Virus protocols critic, is in line for FDA commissioner.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) President Trump's new press secretary Karoline Leavitt <a href="https://pjnewsletter.com/trumps-new-hire-press-sec/?utm_source=ptnews&utm_medium=news" target="_blank">opens every staff session with prayer</a>. How nice to have God invited back into government. <a href="https://wltreport.com/2024/11/21/heres-everything-you-need-know-about-pam-bondi/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">Dan Bongino</a> is being considered for head of the Secret Service.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) By the way, my <a href="https://larrys.substack.com/p/gaetz-and-the-frightful-four" target="_blank">court guru Zen Master notes that it is entirely constitutional for V.P. J.D. Vance to break ties in Senate confirmations.</a> The Constitution declares so unequivocally (i.e., no stated limitations) and it was used by both Biden and Trump already to confirm candidates.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) The <i>Wall Street Journal </i>labeled Trump's election<a href="https://archive.is/RvVU7#selection-551.0-1811.57" target="_blank"> a "hostile takeover"</a> of the Deep State.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Although this is spun as a MAGA victory,<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/senate-republicans-democrats-reach-deal-giving-trump-more-judicial-selections-5764348?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2024-11-22-1&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2024-11-22-1&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5ZwpC2sLA%2B7YHtWRLH5R9xkIHK2cN2s6OsMvn4fLQH7QYRE5kM7gr" target="_blank"> in reality the Rs in the senate gave the DemoKKKrats 13 lower level judicial picks now for four higher level picks next year. </a>They could have held out for all of them. Zen Master counters that many of the spots are in blue states and the "blue slip" process where by a sitting senator can kill an appointment in his state would have meant Trump wouldn't get many of his picks. However, two of those we supposedly "got" for next year at the appellate level were based on judges retiring. Now they may reconsider if it is Trump doing the selections. To put in football draft analogy: we traded 13 backups who we could not trade for 3 starters, two of whom may decided they don't want to help us and stay on the field hurting us.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/supreme-court/3235378/colorado-to-pay-1-5-million-for-stifling-web-designers-free-speech/" target="_blank">Colorado must pay a web designer $1.5 million for stifling free speech</a> regarding Lorie Smith's refusal to make homosexual wedding invitations. Too bad the governor and members of the state legislature don't have to pay this instead of the taxpayers.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) The onrushing fracture in the DemoKKKrat Party (yes, another one) is the tecchie vs green split. The techhies need power and lots of it---far more than solar/wind/batteries can even remotely produce. So their are what are called "nuclear power greens." But don't be mislead. <a href="https://quillette.com/2024/11/20/nuclear-power-is-already-great-greens-environmentalism/?ref=quillette-daily-newsletter" target="_blank">They really don't like ANY current nuclear power</a>, and the changes they would make would possibly make nukes as impractical as solar is. In a related column, <a href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/throw-the-groups-under-the-bus?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=239058&post_id=151959510&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Ruy Teixeira, </a>one of the few sensible DemoKKKrats left, pointed out that the woke "groups" should be "thrown under the bus," and the DemoKKKrats should return to the working class. Don't think they can. But the techhie vs. green split in the DemoKKKrat Party that is coming is like an asteroid and none of them, including Ruy, see it. More proof they are collapsing: <a href="https://puck.news/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/November-2024-Voter-Omnibus-PUCK-Topline.pdf" target="_blank">DemoKKKrats want Cackles to run again in 2028</a>. As the Duke of Wellington said of Napoleon at Waterloo, 'They keep coming on in the same old way and we keep sending them back in the same old way."</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk have <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2024/11/20/musk-ramaswamy-government-cuts/" target="_blank">put out a road map for their Department of Government Efficiency.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>9) Remember the national "popular vote compact" that would give all the electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote?

      <title>TODAY&apos;S NEWS, Weekend Edition, November 13-15, 2024</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) After successfully negotiating Jay's Treaty, which sent Francophile Jeffesonians into a tizzy, John Jay said he could ride across the country by the light of his own burning effigies. My friends, we may well be able to travel up and down the East Coast by the light of liberal heads exploding into incandescent spooge after President Trump imitated Jay and named his latest round of Deep State Destroyers, a true "MAGA" Avengers.</p><p><br /> </p><p>It was an idea about<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=az04uStDQSM" target="_blank"> "putting together a group of remarkable people, to see if they could become something more . . .</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>First President Trump named veteran of several military campaigns, Pete Hegseth, as SecDef---causing lobbyists' heads to explode---and named <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/11/12/us-news/trump-announces-elon-musk-vivek-ramaswamy-to-lead-new-department-of-government-efficiency/?utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=nypost&utm_medium=social" target="_blank">Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to head a new Department of Government Efficiency</a> to drive large scale structural reform, and create an entrepreneurial approach to Government never seen before.” On one hand, awesome and they will achieve great things. On the other hand, do we really need a new "department?" In other key selections, President Trump put Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence, <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1857240539545890881" target="_blank">Doug Burgum at Interior</a>, and <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/article/trump-taps-rubio-longtime-china-hawk-as-secretary-of-state-5686671?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2024-11-13-7&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2024-11-13-7&utm_medium=email&utm_term=digital&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">Marco Rubio as Secretary of State.</a> And former DNI head <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-trump-taps-former-director-of-national-intelligence-john-ratcliffe-to-lead-cia" target="_blank">John Ratcliffe will head the CIA, inheriting possibly the hardest job in the administration.</a> The other most crucial job in the administration is the Attorney General, and Trump named<a href="https://www.oann.com/newsroom/congress-set-to-hold-ufo-hearing-vows-to-reveal-secret-programs/" target="_blank"> Matt Gaetz as AG.</a> Gaetz threw all of D.C. into a panic, and <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/trump-picks-matt-gaetz-attorney-general?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=3419" target="_blank">he resigned from the House immediately</a> so that Gov. DeSantis could fill his seat in the next 8 weeks before the next Congress meets. Then came the coup de grace (so far): Trump named <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-expected-to-pick-rfk-jr-as-secretary-of-health-and-human-services-5759936?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2024-11-14-4&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2024-11-14-4&utm_medium=email&utm_term=digital&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">Bobby Kennedy, Jr. as head of Health and Human Services</a>, the biggest single department in the gubment, and Bobby already is talking RICO and breaking up big pharma, whose stocks all dipped today.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Internal RINO bilgefisher <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/sen-john-thune-selected-as-senate-gop-leader-5758384?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2024-11-13-4&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2024-11-13-4&utm_medium=email&utm_term=digital&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">John "Can't Carry a Thune" </a>was elected Senate Majority leader in a defeat for MAGA/America Firsters. He will face enormous opposition from the voters, ordinary people, and the Trump administration if he does not get on the Trump Train. Early comments---and they are just that---say he is.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) This just keeps getting better and better, as now Senate DemoKKKrats are worried not just about the Wise Latina, er, casting off her mortal shell under President Trump,<a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/11/13/chuck-schumer-dick-durbin-senate-trump-judges" target="_blank"> but Dick Turban being strong enough to stand up against Trump's judicial appointments</a>. Relax, Dems. Wooooo-saaaa. You don't have a majority. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuKsnsrQxVo" target="_blank">Begone. You have no power here.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Speaking of having no power here, <a href="https://www.oann.com/newsroom/fmr-president-obamas-biographer-barack-is-worried-about-his-own-legacy-following-harris-loss/" target="_blank">Zero's biographer says he is really worried about his legacy now,</a> as Trump has become the man of the era, not him. Oh, and Trump is now over 76 million votes, or the most legitimate votes ever in American history. You know, received in an election without an asterisk.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) With Alaskan <a href="https://x.com/tencor_7144/status/1856693872770032105" target="_blank">Nick Begich's victory in the single house race there</a>---a flp---Republicans now stand at 220 with two more races to be called. Three Rs, including Matt Gaetz, who promptly resigned after being named AG by Trump, will leave open seats. Gaetz's seat will have a special election by December, but if the other two are open, the number needed for a majority drops to 217. Gov. Ron DeSantis has already <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/desantis-calls-for-special-elections-after-trump-picks-3-florida-lawmakers-for-cabinet-5759922?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">scheduled special elections for the three FL house seats.</a> left open by cabinet picks.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Count Dooku, Jack Smith, spent $60 million on his useless witch hunt of President Trump. <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/jack-smith-donald-trump-indictments-election-fraud-classified-documents-inauguration-january-1982754" target="_blank">He should be forced to repay every penny.</a> Now <a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/news/story/jack-smith-reportedly-stepping-down" target="_blank">he is stepping down</a>. Trump kicked his ass.</p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_716b255678cd44849315ce6d5787fd74~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1480,h_2200,al_c,q_90,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/221b12_716b255678cd44849315ce6d5787fd74~mv2.jpg" alt="" /><p>7) In 2016 I wrote <i>How Trump Won</i> explaining his revolutionary approach via rallies and Twitter to end-run the media.<a href="https://x.com/CollinRugg/status/1856436925063639381" target="_blank"> Charlie Kirk explains here how Trump conducted an end-run around the media this time by targeting low-propensity voters.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Speaking of repaying every penny, <a href="https://x.com/AlexThomp/status/1856713923195511026" target="_blank">DNC leaders are extremely concerned about the massive debt the Cackles campaign left them</a>---and they don't even know the full extent of it yet. Other DemoKKKrat "influencers" are coping hard, saying, "no, things will be better in 2026 and 2028." One reason? Wait for it . . . <a href="https://www.noahpinion.blog/p/7-reasons-democrats-should-be-optimistic?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=35345&post_id=151684890&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">turnout will be down</a>. Now, think of how massive a statement that is. For 40 years the rule of thumb has been "low turnout favors Republicans." This is an admission DemoKKKrats have lost the common man.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) The Department of InJustice is going as fast as it can to oppress people, <a href="https://wltreport.com/2024/11/13/breaking-feds-raid-home-polymarket-ceo-founder/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">raiding the home of the founder and CEO of Polymarket </a>after it predicted a Trump victory.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) The <a href="https://x.com/MarinaMedvin/status/1856693790511128686" target="_blank">Iran data leaker has been arrested</a>. Shocked. He is a Muslim CIA official.</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) Daniel Street <a href="https://danielrstreet.substack.com/p/what-the-next-trump-administration?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=865083&post_id=151472931&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">identifies several ways to improve voter integrity</a>.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) After successfully negotiating Jay's Treaty, which sent Francophile Jeffesonians into a tizzy, John Jay said he could ride across the country by the light of his own burning effigies. My friends, we may well be able to travel up and down the East Coast by the light of liberal heads exploding into incandescent spooge after President Trump imitated Jay and named his latest round of Deep State Destroyers, a true "MAGA" Avengers.</p><p><br /> </p><p>It was an idea about<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=az04uStDQSM" target="_blank"> "putting together a group of remarkable people, to see if they could become something more . . .</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>First President Trump named veteran of several military campaigns, Pete Hegseth, as SecDef---causing lobbyists' heads to explode---and named <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/11/12/us-news/trump-announces-elon-musk-vivek-ramaswamy-to-lead-new-department-of-government-efficiency/?utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=nypost&utm_medium=social" target="_blank">Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to head a new Department of Government Efficiency</a> to drive large scale structural reform, and create an entrepreneurial approach to Government never seen before.” On one hand, awesome and they will achieve great things. On the other hand, do we really need a new "department?" In other key selections, President Trump put Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence, <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1857240539545890881" target="_blank">Doug Burgum at Interior</a>, and <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/article/trump-taps-rubio-longtime-china-hawk-as-secretary-of-state-5686671?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2024-11-13-7&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2024-11-13-7&utm_medium=email&utm_term=digital&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">Marco Rubio as Secretary of State.</a> And former DNI head <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-trump-taps-former-director-of-national-intelligence-john-ratcliffe-to-lead-cia" target="_blank">John Ratcliffe will head the CIA, inheriting possibly the hardest job in the administration.</a> The other most crucial job in the administration is the Attorney General, and Trump named<a href="https://www.oann.com/newsroom/congress-set-to-hold-ufo-hearing-vows-to-reveal-secret-programs/" target="_blank"> Matt Gaetz as AG.</a> Gaetz threw all of D.C. into a panic, and <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/trump-picks-matt-gaetz-attorney-general?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=3419" target="_blank">he resigned from the House immediately</a> so that Gov. DeSantis could fill his seat in the next 8 weeks before the next Congress meets. Then came the coup de grace (so far): Trump named <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-expected-to-pick-rfk-jr-as-secretary-of-health-and-human-services-5759936?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2024-11-14-4&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2024-11-14-4&utm_medium=email&utm_term=digital&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">Bobby Kennedy, Jr. as head of Health and Human Services</a>, the biggest single department in the gubment, and Bobby already is talking RICO and breaking up big pharma, whose stocks all dipped today.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Internal RINO bilgefisher <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/sen-john-thune-selected-as-senate-gop-leader-5758384?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2024-11-13-4&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2024-11-13-4&utm_medium=email&utm_term=digital&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">John "Can't Carry a Thune" </a>was elected Senate Majority leader in a defeat for MAGA/America Firsters. He will face enormous opposition from the voters, ordinary people, and the Trump administration if he does not get on the Trump Train. Early comments---and they are just that---say he is.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) This just keeps getting better and better, as now Senate DemoKKKrats are worried not just about the Wise Latina, er, casting off her mortal shell under President Trump,<a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/11/13/chuck-schumer-dick-durbin-senate-trump-judges" target="_blank"> but Dick Turban being strong enough to stand up against Trump's judicial appointments</a>. Relax, Dems. Wooooo-saaaa. You don't have a majority. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuKsnsrQxVo" target="_blank">Begone. You have no power here.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Speaking of having no power here, <a href="https://www.oann.com/newsroom/fmr-president-obamas-biographer-barack-is-worried-about-his-own-legacy-following-harris-loss/" target="_blank">Zero's biographer says he is really worried about his legacy now,</a> as Trump has become the man of the era, not him. Oh, and Trump is now over 76 million votes, or the most legitimate votes ever in American history. You know, received in an election without an asterisk.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) With Alaskan <a href="https://x.com/tencor_7144/status/1856693872770032105" target="_blank">Nick Begich's victory in the single house race there</a>---a flp---Republicans now stand at 220 with two more races to be called. Three Rs, including Matt Gaetz, who promptly resigned after being named AG by Trump, will leave open seats. Gaetz's seat will have a special election by December, but if the other two are open, the number needed for a majority drops to 217. Gov. Ron DeSantis has already <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/desantis-calls-for-special-elections-after-trump-picks-3-florida-lawmakers-for-cabinet-5759922?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">scheduled special elections for the three FL house seats.</a> left open by cabinet picks.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Count Dooku, Jack Smith, spent $60 million on his useless witch hunt of President Trump. <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/jack-smith-donald-trump-indictments-election-fraud-classified-documents-inauguration-january-1982754" target="_blank">He should be forced to repay every penny.</a> Now <a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/news/story/jack-smith-reportedly-stepping-down" target="_blank">he is stepping down</a>.

Other DemoKKKrat "influencers" are coping hard, saying, "no, things will be better in 2026 and 2028." One reason? Wait for it . . . <a href="https://www.noahpinion.blog/p/7-reasons-democrats-should-be-optimistic?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=35345&post_id=151684890&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">turnout will be down</a>. Now, think of how massive a statement that is. For 40 years the rule of thumb has been "low turnout favors Republicans." This is an admission DemoKKKrats have lost the common man.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) The Department of InJustice is going as fast as it can to oppress people, <a href="https://wltreport.com/2024/11/13/breaking-feds-raid-home-polymarket-ceo-founder/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">raiding the home of the founder and CEO of Polymarket </a>after it predicted a Trump victory.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) The <a href="https://x.com/MarinaMedvin/status/1856693790511128686" target="_blank">Iran data leaker has been arrested</a>.

      <title>TODAY&apos;S NEWS, NOVEMBER 11-12, 2024</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS<br /> </h3><p>1) And so it begins . . . <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/11/10/us-news/dnc-official-lindy-li-blasts-harris-campaign-as-a-1-billion-disaster/" target="_blank">A DemoKKKrat who sits on the DNC finance committee unleashed a tirade against the $1 billion "disaster" of Cackles campaign.</a> Cackles spent an average of $6 million a day. Trump's campaign? About $100,000. Well, I've been sayin' it and sayin' it. Ain't I been sayin' it? (Cue Russell Case played by Randy Quaid in "Independence Day"): The DemoKKK have major civil wars going on that they can't fix. I had <a href="https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2024/11/09/the-democratic-party-is-on-the-verge-of-civil-war-n4934130?bcid=51d52eb10caae142309a328e29876832044faa0a177f96eaa1ccf695424354c7&lctg=603396?utm_source=pjmediavip" target="_blank">far bigger civil wars in mind than this one.</a> And about those women <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/2024-election/2024/11/10/exit-polling-40-percent-of-women-under-30-dumped-harris-for-trump/" target="_blank">40% of women under 30 voted for Trump</a>. What the candidate of forced pregnancies? Meanwhile Trump received <a href="https://www.oann.com/newsroom/trump-obtains-highest-count-of-popular-vote-ever-by-republican-candidate/" target="_blank">the highest vote count ever for a Republican candidate</a> (74.22 as of this writing) and almost certainly of any candidate in history if you wipe out the 2020 fraud. One statistician at <a href="http://www.freerepublic.com/" target="_blank">www.freerepublic.com</a> estimates Trump will finish at 78 million and +1.8% almost exactly where I had his popular vote lead. Oh, and<a href="https://www.breitbart.com/2024-election/2024/11/10/exit-polling-40-percent-of-women-under-30-dumped-harris-for-trump/" target="_blank"> 40% of women under 30 dumped Cackles for Trump.</a> Perhaps even more ironic, <a href="https://x.com/AliceFromQueens/status/1855850559573778698" target="_blank">65% of American Indians voted for Trump,</a> or, "65% of the land acknowledgment people voted against land acknowledgement."<br /> </p><p>2) President Trump, moving fast, has solidified his cabinet with Tom Homan as border czar, Elise Stefanik as UN Ambassador, Lee Zeldin at EPA, Kristi Noem as Homeland Security Director, Cong. Mike Walz as national security advisor,  <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-names-stephen-miller-to-be-deputy-chief-of-policy-vance-confirms-5757809?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2024-11-11-4&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2024-11-11-4&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">Stephen Miller as Deputy Chief of Policy.</a>, and the <i>NY Post</i> says <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/11/11/us-news/kash-patel-emerges-as-a-top-contender-for-cia-director/" target="_blank">Kash Patel</a> will be CIA director. GOOD! See multiple stories <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/" target="_blank">here</a>. Meanwhile, all three of the purported Senate Majority Leader candidates (John "Cornhole" Cornyn, John "Can't Carry a" Thune, and Rick Scott) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/senate-majority-leader-candidates-agree-to-trumps-demand-for-recess-appointments-5757729?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">have agreed to President Trump's request to have recess appointments while the Senate is in recess.</a> We'll see if they mean it.</p><p> </p><p>3) "Vengeance? We don't need no stinkin' vengeance."

The good news is that with a few exceptions, the Republicans in the House and Senate still don't know how to be miniTrumps. The bad news is this is far, far worse than DemoKKKrats dream. Historically speaking it's a gaping hole in the middle of the Austrian line and Napoleon is about to send in Murat's cavalry.

Interestingly, Smith cites TV shows of the 1990s that celebrated blue cities for their "lightheartedness of upper-class city life." Really? "Seinfeld" and "Friends" were not about "upper class," but middle class largely failing strugglers; "Sex and the City" did of course feature more upper-class women, none of whom had families or responsibilities outside me, me, me. Even shows such as "King of Queens" and "Roseanne," while attempting to show the middle class experience, painted it without the crime---and now, illegal alien invaders---incredibly high prices, and useless city so-called "services." CELEBRATE that these intellectualoids still don't get how freakin' broken their party is, and that it can never be saved by half-measures that fund "An OK Society." Cuz it was never great. Celebrate that they still paddle around in the dark while Igauzi Falls is just yards away. And more evidence here as DemoKKKrats<a href="https://www.sfgate.com/politics/article/democrats-can-find-their-own-trump-in-gavin-newsom-19907712.php" target="_blank"> search for their "Own Donald Trump," and think he's Gavin Newsom. </a>Like I said. Igauzi Falls. And to think they believe that Gruesome is even in the same solar system as Trump itself shows they are maggot-curdling braindead snail farmers.<br /> </p><p>17) <a href="https://www.newsbreak.com/share/3670657376596-trump-expected-to-move-space-command-headquarters-out-of-colorado-in-his-first-week?_f=app_share&pd=0D7J2GH8&lang=en_US&send_time=1731386491&trans_data=%7B%22platform%22%3A0%2C%22cv%22%3A%2224.44.0.18%22%2C%22" target="_blank">President Trump plans to move Space Force out of Colorado.</a> Put it in a red state, such as Texas or Florida.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS<br /> </h3><p>1) And so it begins . . . <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/11/10/us-news/dnc-official-lindy-li-blasts-harris-campaign-as-a-1-billion-disaster/" target="_blank">A DemoKKKrat who sits on the DNC finance committee unleashed a tirade against the $1 billion "disaster" of Cackles campaign.</a> Cackles spent an average of $6 million a day. Trump's campaign? About $100,000. Well, I've been sayin' it and sayin' it. Ain't I been sayin' it? (Cue Russell Case played by Randy Quaid in "Independence Day"): The DemoKKK have major civil wars going on that they can't fix. I had <a href="https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2024/11/09/the-democratic-party-is-on-the-verge-of-civil-war-n4934130?bcid=51d52eb10caae142309a328e29876832044faa0a177f96eaa1ccf695424354c7&lctg=603396?utm_source=pjmediavip" target="_blank">far bigger civil wars in mind than this one.</a> And about those women <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/2024-election/2024/11/10/exit-polling-40-percent-of-women-under-30-dumped-harris-for-trump/" target="_blank">40% of women under 30 voted for Trump</a>. What the candidate of forced pregnancies? Meanwhile Trump received <a href="https://www.oann.com/newsroom/trump-obtains-highest-count-of-popular-vote-ever-by-republican-candidate/" target="_blank">the highest vote count ever for a Republican candidate</a> (74.22 as of this writing) and almost certainly of any candidate in history if you wipe out the 2020 fraud. One statistician at <a href="http://www.freerepublic.com/" target="_blank">www.freerepublic.com</a> estimates Trump will finish at 78 million and +1.8% almost exactly where I had his popular vote lead. Oh, and<a href="https://www.breitbart.com/2024-election/2024/11/10/exit-polling-40-percent-of-women-under-30-dumped-harris-for-trump/" target="_blank"> 40% of women under 30 dumped Cackles for Trump.</a> Perhaps even more ironic, <a href="https://x.com/AliceFromQueens/status/1855850559573778698" target="_blank">65% of American Indians voted for Trump,</a> or, "65% of the land acknowledgment people voted against land acknowledgement."<br /> </p><p>2) President Trump, moving fast, has solidified his cabinet with Tom Homan as border czar, Elise Stefanik as UN Ambassador, Lee Zeldin at EPA, Kristi Noem as Homeland Security Director, Cong. Mike Walz as national security advisor,  <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-names-stephen-miller-to-be-deputy-chief-of-policy-vance-confirms-5757809?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2024-11-11-4&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2024-11-11-4&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">Stephen Miller as Deputy Chief of Policy.</a>, and the <i>NY Post</i> says <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/11/11/us-news/kash-patel-emerges-as-a-top-contender-for-cia-director/" target="_blank">Kash Patel</a> will be CIA director. GOOD! See multiple stories <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/" target="_blank">here</a>.

The good news is that with a few exceptions, the Republicans in the House and Senate still don't know how to be miniTrumps. The bad news is this is far, far worse than DemoKKKrats dream. Historically speaking it's a gaping hole in the middle of the Austrian line and Napoleon is about to send in Murat's cavalry.

Who, other than me, Richard Baris, and Robert Barnes kept talking about how the fundamentals favored Trump? Allen "Magic Keys" Lichtman kept saying they favored the D. Meanwhile, my favorite Lib (even though he blocked me from commenting on his comments), Noah Smith, says that the<a href="https://www.noahpinion.blog/p/the-educated-professional-class-is?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=35345&post_id=150944877&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> educated class is out of touch with America </a>and that is a long term problem for DemoKKKrats. Bigger than you think, Noah. Bigger than you think.<br /> </p><p>16) Then, <a href="https://www.noahpinion.blog/p/the-blue-cities-must-be-fixed?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=35345&post_id=151531665&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Smith</a> and <a href="https://www.slowboring.com/p/a-common-sense-democrat-manifesto?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=159185&post_id=151305115&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Matthew Yglesias</a>, who see the cliff over which the DemoKKKrats may be forever headed, both try to offer another "middle of the road" approach that is only mildly leftist, clinging to big gubment programs and notions that blue cities aren't really as bad as mean Republicans say. Interestingly, Smith cites TV shows of the 1990s that celebrated blue cities for their "lightheartedness of upper-class city life." Really? "Seinfeld" and "Friends" were not about "upper class," but middle class largely failing strugglers; "Sex and the City" did of course feature more upper-class women, none of whom had families or responsibilities outside me, me, me. Even shows such as "King of Queens" and "Roseanne," while attempting to show the middle class experience, painted it without the crime---and now, illegal alien invaders---incredibly high prices, and useless city so-called "services." CELEBRATE that these intellectualoids still don't get how freakin' broken their party is, and that it can never be saved by half-measures that fund "An OK Society." Cuz it was never great. Celebrate that they still paddle around in the dark while Igauzi Falls is just yards away. And more evidence here as DemoKKKrats<a href="https://www.sfgate.com/politics/article/democrats-can-find-their-own-trump-in-gavin-newsom-19907712.php" target="_blank"> search for their "Own Donald Trump," and think he's Gavin Newsom. </a>Like I said. Igauzi Falls. And to think they believe that Gruesome is even in the same solar system as Trump itself shows they are maggot-curdling braindead snail farmers.<br /> </p><p>17) <a href="https://www.newsbreak.com/share/3670657376596-trump-expected-to-move-space-command-headquarters-out-of-colorado-in-his-first-week?_f=app_share&pd=0D7J2GH8&lang=en_US&send_time=1731386491&trans_data=%7B%22platform%22%3A0%2C%22cv%22%3A%2224.44.0.18%22%2C%22" target="_blank">President Trump plans to move Space Force out of Colorado.</a> Put it in a red state, such as Texas or Florida.

      <title>TODAY&apos;S NEWS, October 29-31, 2024</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Big news as the <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/supreme-court-allows-virginia-to-remove-noncitizens-from-voter-rolls-5750570?ea_src=frontpage&ea_cnt=a&ea_med=lead-story-0-title-0" target="_blank">VA supreme court green-lit the state to remove illegals from the voting rolls.</a> VA may indeed be very close this time. And this Dominion problem with the machines could really, really help Trump, as it is having difficulty with split tickets. <a href="https://x.com/kylenabecker/status/1851684747799334923" target="_blank">Trump will get millions of split ticket votes, but if forced to go with straight ticket, people will just go Trump and down.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Some<a href="https://amgreatness.com/2024/10/30/morning-greatness-50-million-americans-have-already-voted/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=30547" target="_blank"> 50 million Americans have already voted</a>. Robert Barnes, as best I understood him, estimated the turnout this time around to be approximately 140 million. So more than one third of Americans have already voted, and Republicans are crushing it. Yet as seen by data from AZ and NV, they are doing so without "cannibalizing" their election day vote. Not the case with the DemoKKKrats. Here for example in AZ<a href="https://www.upliftcampaigns.com/2024azearly" target="_blank"> Rs lead by 155,282,</a> with estimates of a 300,000 lead by the end of election day.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Big news as the <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/supreme-court-allows-virginia-to-remove-noncitizens-from-voter-rolls-5750570?ea_src=frontpage&ea_cnt=a&ea_med=lead-story-0-title-0" target="_blank">VA supreme court green-lit the state to remove illegals from the voting rolls.</a> VA may indeed be very close this time.

Robert Barnes, as best I understood him, estimated the turnout this time around to be approximately 140 million. So more than one third of Americans have already voted, and Republicans are crushing it. Yet as seen by data from AZ and NV, they are doing so without "cannibalizing" their election day vote. Not the case with the DemoKKKrats. Here for example in AZ<a href="https://www.upliftcampaigns.com/2024azearly" target="_blank"> Rs lead by 155,282,</a> with estimates of a 300,000 lead by the end of election day.

      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Nevada Rs continue to rack up the early vote advantage, tacking on another 8,000 to their 16,000 edge yesterday. In an absolute stunner, <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1849425046181130581" target="_blank">North Carolina Rs took a 3,000 lead in early voting there</a>. Has never happened in history. Dems only lead <a href="https://x.com/davidchapman141/status/1849480230387191977" target="_blank">by 2,000 in NH</a>. Trump's McDonald's "stunt"<a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1849513795464450180" target="_blank"> caused him to gain significantly in favorability with Gen Zers </a>(+30%). <a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1849517634615755193/photo/1" target="_blank">Miami-Dade County in FL</a> just flipped to R. In PA, the DemoKKKrat <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1849464550367572397" target="_blank">early vote lead has been slashed by TWO THIRDS from 2020.</a> Perhaps that is why, again, <a href="https://pjnewsletter.com/trump-kamala-2024-panic/?utm_source=actengage&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">another DemoKKKrat campaign insider</a> says it's over. "I<i>It’s close.’ Yes, it’s close, but are things trending our way? No. And no one wants to openly admit that,” one Democratic strategist said. “Could we still win? Maybe. Should anyone be even slightly optimistic right now? No.”</i></p><p>Here is the only untrue part of that statement: it isn't close. Trump leads nationally with accurate polling by 2.5 to 3, and leads the Electoral Collage (almost a lock at this point) with 312 EVs and heading upward. <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/4950270-republicans-agenda-trump-tax-cuts/" target="_blank">Mark Halperin reports</a> that Cackles has no more shots to win. "There's no more 'the more she does it the better she'll get.'" <i>New York Times</i>'s <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/2024-election/2024/10/25/nyts-nate-cohn-donald-trump-could-win-popular-vote/" target="_blank">Nate Cohn agrees: Trump can win the popular vote</a>. Ah, little Natey, Trump WILL win the popular AND EC vote. <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2024/10/24/hillary-clinton-truly-so-distressing-americans-will-vote-for-trump/" target="_blank">Cankles (remember her?) knows this</a>. She's been there. So has President Trump, who said <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/2024-election/2024/10/24/trump-im-not-supposed-say-were-leading/" target="_blank">"I'm not supposed to say this but we're leading by so much."</a> So is that <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2024/10/25/kamala-harris-bails-on-joe-rogan-due-to-scheduling/" target="_blank">why Cackles whiffed on appearing on Joe Rogan's podcast?</a> Trump's<a href="https://protrumpnews.com/donald-trump-sits-down-with-joe-rogan-for-interview-full-video/" target="_blank"> appearance on Rogan pulled blowout numbers.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) <a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2024/10/another_leftist_canard_falls_apart_miami_city_of_immigrants_becomes_america_s_first_big_blue_city_to_flip_red_to_trump.html" target="_blank">Miami became the first big US city to flip to red</a> after Republicans took the lead in early voting there.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/early-voting-data-indicate-mail-in-voting-wont-be-as-prominent-in-2024-as-it-was-in-2020-post-5747497?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2024-10-25-1&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2024-10-25-1&utm_medium=email&utm_term=digital&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5ZwpC2sLA%2B7YHtWRLH5R9xkIHK2cN2s6OsMvn4fLQH7QYRE5kM7gr" target="_blank">Early voting is down</a> (heavily so among DemoKKKrats, particularly "cat ladies" and low propensity voters). Yet this story says <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/from-small-towns-to-big-cities-wisconsin-early-voters-turn-out-big-5746889?utm_source=Goodevening&src_src=Goodevening&utm_campaign=gv-2024-10-24&src_cmp=gv-2024-10-24&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5ZwpC2sLA%2B7YHtWRLH5R9xkIHK2cN2s6OsMvn4fLQH7QYRE5kM7gr" target="_blank">early voting is up in WI.</a> Oh, and <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2024/10/25/kamala-harris-campaigning-texas-00185369" target="_blank">Cackles is in TX because of the abortion issue,</a> not cuz Texas is "in play."</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) For those who do polls, <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1849257679316717804" target="_blank">President Trump leads nationally in a new WSJ poll</a> by 3 (endgame) and is up 1 in a Franklin and Marshall poll that had Biden up 11 at this point. The <a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/just-in-new-york-times-releases-final-nationwide-poll-stuns-democrats-mstef/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank"><i>NY Slimes </i>had a national tie, but in a full race Trump was up one.</a> But this is really getting interesting, as T<a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1849852075636818422" target="_blank">rump is down just one in the latest VA poll </a>(remember, he underpolls by 2.1). <a href="https://x.com/PatrickBashamDI/status/1849871939864756539" target="_blank">Democracy Institute</a> is Trump +3 national and up in the swing states by plenty. By the way, Patrick Basham of DI will be a guest on our election night coverage at DecisionUSA2024.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) <a href="https://x.com/DC_Draino/status/1849845774902841700" target="_blank">Thousands of illegal voter registrations were stopped in Lancaster, PA.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>6) President Trump is getting a <a href="https://x.com/simonateba/status/1849500713627316508" target="_blank">record 25% of black men</a>. That must mean his overall black % must be around 35%. Meanwhile young men overall are leaving the DemoKKKrat Party, now down to <a href="https://x.com/TheRabbitHole84/status/1849475249760288907" target="_blank">only 39%</a> id as Ds.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) President Trump is proposing a <a href="https://x.com/DC_Draino/status/1849510144415236150/photo/1" target="_blank">complete end to the income tax.</a> Wow.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) And the <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/4950270-republicans-agenda-trump-tax-cuts/" target="_blank">GOP is actually mapping out Trump's first 100 days in office</a>. Be careful Mr. President. You be YOU. Run your agenda, not theirs.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) Shocked, I tell ya: <a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/10/22/ceo-campaign-donations-democrats-republicans" target="_blank">America's business leaders are moving left.</a> <i>Axios</i> is just figuring this out. They are coming increasingly from uber-liberal universities and have been preached woke from day 1; they are heavily influenced by woke H&R and marketing departments; the "managerial hierarchies" separate business leaders from accountability or innovation.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) Following in the footsteps of the <i>Los Angeles Slimes</i>, the <a href="https://www.oann.com/newsroom/the-washington-post-wont-endorse-presidential-candidate-for-first-time-in-36-years-ny-post-endorses-trump/" target="_blank"><i>Washington Compost</i> did not endorse Cackles</a>. Libtards were canceling their subscriptions by the thousands. But the <i>New York Post</i> endorsed Trump: "Back to the Future!"</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) <a href="https://nevadarighttolife.org/2024/09/15/question-6-explained/" target="_blank">NV has a full-blown, no-restrictions (including safety) abortion constitutional amendment on the ballot </a>called "Question 6."</p><p><br /> </p><p>12) Gallup: <a href="https://jonathanturley.org/2024/10/25/gallop-80-percent-of-americans-support-voter-id-and-proof-of-citizenship-laws/" target="_blank">0ver 80% of all voters want voter ID.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>13) A <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/judge-throws-out-vote-payment-allegations-against-elon-musk-5747773?utm_source=Goodevening&src_src=Goodevening&utm_campaign=gv-2024-10-25&src_cmp=gv-2024-10-25&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5ZwpC2sLA%2B7YHtWRLH5R9xkIHK2cN2s6OsMvn4fLQH7QYRE5kM7gr" target="_blank">judge threw out a case against Elon Musk</a> for his giving away $1 million to voters.</p><p><br /> </p><p>14) The <a href="https://christopherrufo.com/p/how-dei-corrupted-the-nih?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1248321&post_id=150687044&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">National Institute of Health is just the latest DEI casualty</a> that needs to be ripped up at the root and scattered to the wind.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Nevada Rs continue to rack up the early vote advantage, tacking on another 8,000 to their 16,000 edge yesterday. In an absolute stunner, <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1849425046181130581" target="_blank">North Carolina Rs took a 3,000 lead in early voting there</a>. Has never happened in history. Dems only lead <a href="https://x.com/davidchapman141/status/1849480230387191977" target="_blank">by 2,000 in NH</a>. Trump's McDonald's "stunt"<a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1849513795464450180" target="_blank"> caused him to gain significantly in favorability with Gen Zers </a>(+30%). <a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1849517634615755193/photo/1" target="_blank">Miami-Dade County in FL</a> just flipped to R. In PA, the DemoKKKrat <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1849464550367572397" target="_blank">early vote lead has been slashed by TWO THIRDS from 2020.</a> Perhaps that is why, again, <a href="https://pjnewsletter.com/trump-kamala-2024-panic/?utm_source=actengage&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">another DemoKKKrat campaign insider</a> says it's over. "I<i>It’s close.’ Yes, it’s close, but are things trending our way? No. And no one wants to openly admit that,” one Democratic strategist said. “Could we still win? Maybe. Should anyone be even slightly optimistic right now? No.”</i></p><p>Here is the only untrue part of that statement: it isn't close. Trump leads nationally with accurate polling by 2.5 to 3, and leads the Electoral Collage (almost a lock at this point) with 312 EVs and heading upward. <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/4950270-republicans-agenda-trump-tax-cuts/" target="_blank">Mark Halperin reports</a> that Cackles has no more shots to win. "There's no more 'the more she does it the better she'll get.'" <i>New York Times</i>'s <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/2024-election/2024/10/25/nyts-nate-cohn-donald-trump-could-win-popular-vote/" target="_blank">Nate Cohn agrees: Trump can win the popular vote</a>. Ah, little Natey, Trump WILL win the popular AND EC vote. <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2024/10/24/hillary-clinton-truly-so-distressing-americans-will-vote-for-trump/" target="_blank">Cankles (remember her?) knows this</a>. She's been there. So has President Trump, who said <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/2024-election/2024/10/24/trump-im-not-supposed-say-were-leading/" target="_blank">"I'm not supposed to say this but we're leading by so much."</a> So is that <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2024/10/25/kamala-harris-bails-on-joe-rogan-due-to-scheduling/" target="_blank">why Cackles whiffed on appearing on Joe Rogan's podcast?</a> Trump's<a href="https://protrumpnews.com/donald-trump-sits-down-with-joe-rogan-for-interview-full-video/" target="_blank"> appearance on Rogan pulled blowout numbers.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) <a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2024/10/another_leftist_canard_falls_apart_miami_city_of_immigrants_becomes_america_s_first_big_blue_city_to_flip_red_to_trump.html" target="_blank">Miami became the first big US city to flip to red</a> after Republicans took the lead in early voting there.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/early-voting-data-indicate-mail-in-voting-wont-be-as-prominent-in-2024-as-it-was-in-2020-post-5747497?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2024-10-25-1&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2024-10-25-1&utm_medium=email&utm_term=digital&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5ZwpC2sLA%2B7YHtWRLH5R9xkIHK2cN2s6OsMvn4fLQH7QYRE5kM7gr" target="_blank">Early voting is down</a> (heavily so among DemoKKKrats, particularly "cat ladies" and low propensity voters).

That must mean his overall black % must be around 35%. Meanwhile young men overall are leaving the DemoKKKrat Party, now down to <a href="https://x.com/TheRabbitHole84/status/1849475249760288907" target="_blank">only 39%</a> id as Ds.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) President Trump is proposing a <a href="https://x.com/DC_Draino/status/1849510144415236150/photo/1" target="_blank">complete end to the income tax.</a> Wow.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) And the <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/4950270-republicans-agenda-trump-tax-cuts/" target="_blank">GOP is actually mapping out Trump's first 100 days in office</a>. Be careful Mr. President. You be YOU.

They are coming increasingly from uber-liberal universities and have been preached woke from day 1; they are heavily influenced by woke H&R and marketing departments; the "managerial hierarchies" separate business leaders from accountability or innovation.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) Following in the footsteps of the <i>Los Angeles Slimes</i>, the <a href="https://www.oann.com/newsroom/the-washington-post-wont-endorse-presidential-candidate-for-first-time-in-36-years-ny-post-endorses-trump/" target="_blank"><i>Washington Compost</i> did not endorse Cackles</a>.

      <title>TODAY&apos;S NEWS, MIDWEEK EDITION, October 22-23, 2024</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Earlier in the week, with GA and PA indicating they might not be able to count all their votes on election night, concerns rose about a new steal. Now <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/news/michigan-secretary-state-says-she-194300886.html" target="_blank">MI is walking their claim back</a>, saying Nov. 6 at the latest. Well, 12:01 EST is November 6. Meanwhile, the Cackles campaign <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/10/22/nolte-panicked-harris-staffers-leak-concerns-about-losing-nc-and-mi/" target="_blank">is freaking out about NC and MI.</a> Now they are reporting that Cackles will campaign in TX and KY. Yeah, these are swing states. In fact, this is completely <a href="https://x.com/AF_Insight/status/1848739039936946671" target="_blank">down-ballot salvaging.</a> And speaking of down ballot, the DemoKKKrats must be a little scared because <a href="https://x.com/AdImpact_Pol/status/1848357379651342662" target="_blank">suddenly they are pumping money into the New Mexico senate race, which wasn't on my dance card.</a> The<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dJO47d26kc" target="_blank"> <i>Hill</i>, a DemoKKKrat-approved mouthpiece, is saying there is fear that the race is "slipping away" from Cackles.</a> What a load. It was never hers to "slip away" in the first place. It was all hoaxified smoke and mirrors. <a href="https://x.com/RyanAFournier/status/1849105659150696631" target="_blank">Here is another "anonymous" insider</a> saying Trujmp will win. Now, remember they STILL don't get that he underpolls by 2.1 points and that now states like MN, VA, NM, NH are in play. In NV, John Ralston, a DemoKKKrat but an honest analyst, says DemoKKKrats have basically lost. <a href="https://x.com/RalstonReports/status/1848955983223226621" target="_blank">They went from having a 40,000 "firewall" in early voting to Rs now having a 16,000 firewall-</a>--a flip of 56,000. And don't get me started with AZ, which is nearly over in October. <a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1849131038859026569" target="_blank">Rs have a stunning 55,000 vote lead in early voting.</a> In this analysis, my <a href="https://skeshel.substack.com/p/pennsylvania-trump-v-harris-voter?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=798984&post_id=150640964&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">election night colleague Seth Keshel shows that Trump should win PA by 4.5 points and about 300,000 votes.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Then there is the latest <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/10/23/nolte-poll-shows-trump-2-nationally-8-in-swing-states/" target="_blank">Harrix poll having Trump up 2 nationally and 8 in the swing states.</a> Folks, that could be low.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Read. My. Lips. Florida was never, ever, ever "in play." Trump<a href="https://americafirstreport.com/florida-poll-trump-boasts-double-digit-lead-ahead-among-women-and-hispanic-voters/" target="_blank"> is leading in double digits and with women and Hispanics.</a> In fact, when not pitching a hoax story that he says he isn't pitching, Mark Halperin says Trump may win the election before election day. RINO pollster Fat Frank Lunz says <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4948668-republican-pollster-frank-luntz-kamala-harris-momentum-frozen/" target="_blank">Cackles momentum "froze" when she went anti-Trump</a>. No, Fat Frank, her "momentum" was all hoaxium created by pollsters who were lying.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Fewer than <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/10/22/us-news/fewer-than-3-in-10-georgia-men-back-kamala-harris-for-president/" target="_blank">three in ten black men support Harris.</a> But in this shock MSNBC video, black WOMEN say Cackles <a href="https://x.com/TrumpWarRoom/status/1848909246991126896?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1848909246991126896%7Ctwgr%5Ed6ebc5ca31c258ecac53b74c9103ceacd34d5262%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailyfetched.com%2Fblack-women-leave-msnbc-reporter-stunned-were-voting-for-trump%2F" target="_blank">"don't have what it takes" to "go up against Putin."</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>5) All the indicators are there, first the presidential race, then the senate races. Now, lagging behind but better late than never, <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/2024-election/2024/10/21/polls-democrats-track-lose-two-key-house-seats-they-currently-hold/" target="_blank">the House begins to move further in the Rs' direction.</a> And now, a report from Minnesota that Republicans are <a href="https://x.com/GrageDustin/status/1849060536241053862" target="_blank">leading in 6 out of 7 of the House districts.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>6) James Carville <a href="https://www.dailyfetched.com/james-carville-melts-down-on-msnbc-trump-will-use-military-to-arrest-us-all/" target="_blank">melted down on MSNBC saying Trump was going to use the military to "arrest us all."</a> Here is one reason why the DemoKKKrats truly may be coocoo for Coco Puffs. <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/democrats-brace-crack-blue-wall-signs-north-carolina-slipping-rcna176046" target="_blank">They actually believed NC was in play</a>. NEVER. I never one time had NC in play this whole year. Speaking of coocoo, <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/biden-immediately-backtracks-after-saying-of-trump-we-ve-got-to-lock-him-up/ar-AA1sMlEa?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=HCTS&cvid=dca58dec1f0940a997b30d94facccfc1&ei=31" target="_blank">a doddering pants-filled Rutabaga backed down on his comments that President Trump needed to be "locked up." </a>"Politically, I mean" he said. Uh huh.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) School choice has <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2024/10/22/the-school-choice-programs-democrats-hate-have-saved-taxpayers-up-to-45-billion/" target="_blank">saved taxpayers up to $45 billion,</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Ken Paxton calls on the <a href="https://amgreatness.com/2024/10/21/texas-ag-ken-paxton-calls-on-fcc-to-immediately-tighten-campaign-finance-rules-following-actblue-investigation/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=28894" target="_blank">FCC to immediately tighten finance rules after accusations of fraud against ActBlue.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>9) LA voters <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/10/22/report-l-a-voters-skeptical-of-sales-tax-hike-for-homeless-funding/" target="_blank">are skeptical of a sales tax hike for the homeless </a>. . . cuz they know it will never end up going toward the homeless.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) Inevitable: <a href="https://www.oann.com/newsroom/tulsi-gabbard-switches-to-republican-party/" target="_blank">Tulsi Gabbard became a Republican</a>. So 1) we traded Liz Clusterbomb Cheney for Tulsi. (That's a win on so many levels); 2) She is, I think, just one of many---don't laugh, but before too long I expect RFK, Jr. will have to switch. And more? Elon Musk says of Brit "advisers" to Cackles who are urging Europe to shut down X, <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/war-musk-responds-bombshell-kill-twitter-plot-involving-uk-advisors-kamala-harris?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=3260" target="_blank">"This is war..' </a>Yep. All you tech snotrags better figure it out. The DemoKKKrats are not your pals, even though you are rich, because they are after "energy transition that is 180 degrees opposite your needs for massive energy for AI.</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) This is why flyover country gets such a bad rap. <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2024/10/22/ohio-man-dies-after-woman-shoots-groin-after-jest/?amp%3Bspot_im_redirect_source=&utm_source=spotim&utm_medium=spotim_recirculation&spot_im_redirect_source=pitc" target="_blank">An Ohio man was killed when he asked a woman to shoot him in the groin for a joke</a>. Like the world's greatest actor, "Awweeeeeek Bawwwwwhdwin," he didn't think the gun was loaded.</p><p><br /> </p><p>12) Rutabaga and Cackles<a href="https://freebeacon.com/biden-harris-administration/full-blown-scandal-biden-harris-admin-hid-documents-to-justify-fossil-fuel-crackdown-oversight-committee-says/" target="_blank"> hid documents that would have challeneged their crackdown on fossil fuels.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>13) The worst president in American history, before Rutabaga, <a href="https://x.com/Ultrafrog17/status/1849143911899353091" target="_blank">Zero complains things are so toxic.</a> This is the guy who said, "They bring a knife, you bring a gun" and to "get up in their face" meaning Republicans.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>14) Utterly satanic and demonic as <a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2024/10/lawfare_aurora_officials_cook_up_selective_code_violations_for_apartment_manager_who_sought_help_on_venezuelan_gang_takeovers.html" target="_blank">Aurora officials use lawfare to hit apartment complex people complaining about the Venezuelan gangs with code violations.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>15) Andy Stanley's <a href="https://protestia.com/2024/10/22/andy-stanleys-church-is-sending-children-to-all-lgbtq-therapists-we-profile-one-of-the-genderfluid-counselors/" target="_blank">perverted Baal-influenced church is sending children to all transoid/homosexual therapists.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN TRANSOID NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>16) Texas AG Ken Paxton, who should strongly be considered for Trump's AG,<a href="https://petermcculloughmd.substack.com/p/texas-ag-ken-paxton-sues-dallas-pediatrician?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1119676&post_id=150522548&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> sued a Dallas doctor for transgender crimes against minors.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>17) As in America, t<a href="https://ministrywatch.com/unrest-breaks-out-in-liberian-united-methodist-churches/" target="_blank">he Liberian United Methodist Church is about to be un-united </a>over homosexual marriage.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ECONOMIC NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>18) <a href="https://www.hoosieragtoday.com/2024/10/18/john-deere-additional-287-worker-layoffs/" target="_blank">John Deere is laying off another 287</a> employoees, insisting the jobs are not going to Me-Hee-Co.</p><p><br /> </p><p>19) <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dJO47d26kc" target="_blank">Existing home sales decreased,</a> to a new cycle low since 2010.</p><p><br /> </p><p>20) Concerning?

Reagan and Nancy came in---I missed a chance to shake his hand before he got into a conversation with Merle Haggard, who was the entertainment. Then, a series of stars including Mike Connors, Bo Derek, and Ron Ely came in. I sat right in front of Fred MacMurray.</p><p><br /> </p><p>34) Apparently a Japanese game maker <a href="https://www.locals.com/yellowflash/feed?post=6262579" target="_blank">Bandai is trying to force employees to quit by putting them in "expulsion rooms"</a> (rooms with nothing in them, hoping to bore people into quitting) because of their failed "Unknown 9" game that, according to rumors, has sold no games. Apparently the game sold 50 pre-order copies an . . . NO new copies. Meanwhile this new Sonic game is woke-ized by the stupid company "Sweet Baby," and it's full of woke censorship.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CHINA VIRUS NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>35) Certainly one of the biggest stories of the year: a <a href="https://x.com/jackunheard/status/1848786953929457721" target="_blank">New York appellate court has not only determined that all NY employees who were wrongfully terminated for not accepting the vax were to be restored to their jobs with back pay</a>, but stated . . . wait for it . . ."vaccination does not prevent an individual from contracting or spreading COVID-19."

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Earlier in the week, with GA and PA indicating they might not be able to count all their votes on election night, concerns rose about a new steal. Now <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/news/michigan-secretary-state-says-she-194300886.html" target="_blank">MI is walking their claim back</a>, saying Nov. 6 at the latest. Well, 12:01 EST is November 6. Meanwhile, the Cackles campaign <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/10/22/nolte-panicked-harris-staffers-leak-concerns-about-losing-nc-and-mi/" target="_blank">is freaking out about NC and MI.</a> Now they are reporting that Cackles will campaign in TX and KY. Yeah, these are swing states. In fact, this is completely <a href="https://x.com/AF_Insight/status/1848739039936946671" target="_blank">down-ballot salvaging.</a> And speaking of down ballot, the DemoKKKrats must be a little scared because <a href="https://x.com/AdImpact_Pol/status/1848357379651342662" target="_blank">suddenly they are pumping money into the New Mexico senate race, which wasn't on my dance card.</a> The<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dJO47d26kc" target="_blank"> <i>Hill</i>, a DemoKKKrat-approved mouthpiece, is saying there is fear that the race is "slipping away" from Cackles.</a> What a load. It was never hers to "slip away" in the first place. It was all hoaxified smoke and mirrors. <a href="https://x.com/RyanAFournier/status/1849105659150696631" target="_blank">Here is another "anonymous" insider</a> saying Trujmp will win. Now, remember they STILL don't get that he underpolls by 2.1 points and that now states like MN, VA, NM, NH are in play. In NV, John Ralston, a DemoKKKrat but an honest analyst, says DemoKKKrats have basically lost. <a href="https://x.com/RalstonReports/status/1848955983223226621" target="_blank">They went from having a 40,000 "firewall" in early voting to Rs now having a 16,000 firewall-</a>--a flip of 56,000. And don't get me started with AZ, which is nearly over in October. <a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1849131038859026569" target="_blank">Rs have a stunning 55,000 vote lead in early voting.</a> In this analysis, my <a href="https://skeshel.substack.com/p/pennsylvania-trump-v-harris-voter?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=798984&post_id=150640964&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">election night colleague Seth Keshel shows that Trump should win PA by 4.5 points and about 300,000 votes.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Then there is the latest <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/10/23/nolte-poll-shows-trump-2-nationally-8-in-swing-states/" target="_blank">Harrix poll having Trump up 2 nationally and 8 in the swing states.</a> Folks, that could be low.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Read. My. Lips. Florida was never, ever, ever "in play." Trump<a href="https://americafirstreport.com/florida-poll-trump-boasts-double-digit-lead-ahead-among-women-and-hispanic-voters/" target="_blank"> is leading in double digits and with women and Hispanics.</a> In fact, when not pitching a hoax story that he says he isn't pitching, Mark Halperin says Trump may win the election before election day. RINO pollster Fat Frank Lunz says <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4948668-republican-pollster-frank-luntz-kamala-harris-momentum-frozen/" target="_blank">Cackles momentum "froze" when she went anti-Trump</a>. No, Fat Frank, her "momentum" was all hoaxium created by pollsters who were lying.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Fewer than <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/10/22/us-news/fewer-than-3-in-10-georgia-men-back-kamala-harris-for-president/" target="_blank">three in ten black men support Harris.</a> But in this shock MSNBC video, black WOMEN say Cackles <a href="https://x.com/TrumpWarRoom/status/1848909246991126896?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1848909246991126896%7Ctwgr%5Ed6ebc5ca31c258ecac53b74c9103ceacd34d5262%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailyfetched.com%2Fblack-women-leave-msnbc-reporter-stunned-were-voting-for-trump%2F" target="_blank">"don't have what it takes" to "go up against Putin."</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>5) All the indicators are there, first the presidential race, then the senate races. Now, lagging behind but better late than never, <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/2024-election/2024/10/21/polls-democrats-track-lose-two-key-house-seats-they-currently-hold/" target="_blank">the House begins to move further in the Rs' direction.</a> And now, a report from Minnesota that Republicans are <a href="https://x.com/GrageDustin/status/1849060536241053862" target="_blank">leading in 6 out of 7 of the House districts.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>6) James Carville <a href="https://www.dailyfetched.com/james-carville-melts-down-on-msnbc-trump-will-use-military-to-arrest-us-all/" target="_blank">melted down on MSNBC saying Trump was going to use the military to "arrest us all."</a> Here is one reason why the DemoKKKrats truly may be coocoo for Coco Puffs. <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/democrats-brace-crack-blue-wall-signs-north-carolina-slipping-rcna176046" target="_blank">They actually believed NC was in play</a>. NEVER. I never one time had NC in play this whole year. Speaking of coocoo, <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/biden-immediately-backtracks-after-saying-of-trump-we-ve-got-to-lock-him-up/ar-AA1sMlEa?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=HCTS&cvid=dca58dec1f0940a997b30d94facccfc1&ei=31" target="_blank">a doddering pants-filled Rutabaga backed down on his comments that President Trump needed to be "locked up." </a>"Politically, I mean" he said. Uh huh.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) School choice has <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2024/10/22/the-school-choice-programs-democrats-hate-have-saved-taxpayers-up-to-45-billion/" target="_blank">saved taxpayers up to $45 billion,</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Ken Paxton calls on the <a href="https://amgreatness.com/2024/10/21/texas-ag-ken-paxton-calls-on-fcc-to-immediately-tighten-campaign-finance-rules-following-actblue-investigation/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=28894" target="_blank">FCC to immediately tighten finance rules after accusations of fraud against ActBlue.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>9) LA voters <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/10/22/report-l-a-voters-skeptical-of-sales-tax-hike-for-homeless-funding/" target="_blank">are skeptical of a sales tax hike for the homeless </a>. . . cuz they know it will never end up going toward the homeless.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) Inevitable: <a href="https://www.oann.com/newsroom/tulsi-gabbard-switches-to-republican-party/" target="_blank">Tulsi Gabbard became a Republican</a>. So 1) we traded Liz Clusterbomb Cheney for Tulsi. (That's a win on so many levels); 2) She is, I think, just one of many---don't laugh, but before too long I expect RFK, Jr. will have to switch. And more? Elon Musk says of Brit "advisers" to Cackles who are urging Europe to shut down X, <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/war-musk-responds-bombshell-kill-twitter-plot-involving-uk-advisors-kamala-harris?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=3260" target="_blank">"This is war..' </a>Yep. All you tech snotrags better figure it out. The DemoKKKrats are not your pals, even though you are rich, because they are after "energy transition that is 180 degrees opposite your needs for massive energy for AI.</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) This is why flyover country gets such a bad rap. <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2024/10/22/ohio-man-dies-after-woman-shoots-groin-after-jest/?amp%3Bspot_im_redirect_source=&utm_source=spotim&utm_medium=spotim_recirculation&spot_im_redirect_source=pitc" target="_blank">An Ohio man was killed when he asked a woman to shoot him in the groin for a joke</a>.

Then, a series of stars including Mike Connors, Bo Derek, and Ron Ely came in. I sat right in front of Fred MacMurray.</p><p><br /> </p><p>34) Apparently a Japanese game maker <a href="https://www.locals.com/yellowflash/feed?post=6262579" target="_blank">Bandai is trying to force employees to quit by putting them in "expulsion rooms"</a> (rooms with nothing in them, hoping to bore people into quitting) because of their failed "Unknown 9" game that, according to rumors, has sold no games.

      <title>TODAY&apos;S NEWS, WEEKEND EDITION, October 18-23, 2024</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1847243306410881474" target="_blank">Day one of early voting in NC</a> saw an 18 point shift from 2020 (when Trump won the state with a much higher DemoKKKrat registration margin) and an astonishing TWO POINTS behind DemoKKKrats and on<a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1847609472455151824" target="_blank"> Oct. 19 actually took the lead</a>. This is unheard of for Republicans to run so strong in early voting. <a href="https://x.com/UPTGOP/status/1847279175087874487" target="_blank">PA continues to outperform its 2020 numbers with Rs</a>, underperform with Ds. Here is part of the reason: the NC early vote breakdown is <a href="https://x.com/OpenSourceZone/status/1847299552442740841" target="_blank">69% white, 21% black</a>, an 18-point shift from 2020. In PA, <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/democrats-see-103-percent-increase-pennsylvania-voters-leaving-party-1970300" target="_blank">DemoKKKrats saw a 103% increase in voters leaving the party.</a> In Nevada, on the first day of early voting the <a href="https://x.com/jeremybhughes/status/1847963339227373798" target="_blank">Ds lead has been cut from 40,000 in 2020 to just 1,700 now</a>. (Trump only lost by 33,000, and many D votes this time around will be for Trump). Also, the NV data---like that of PA---shows <a href="https://x.com/RyanGirdusky/status/1848048452418039978" target="_blank">Rs getting out far more low-propensity voters while Ds are turning out their 4/4 base voters</a>. Not good for Ds. Meanwhile, the latest Cackles strategy was to portray Trump as old, tired, and exhausted. Then her <a href="https://x.com/_johnnymaga/status/1848037349294248328" target="_blank">own veep gets up and says of himself and Cackles, "We're fatigued. We're fatigued."</a> Seems none of Cackles' supporters can get a narrative straight. Now Lizzo says if Cackles is elected <a href="https://www.oann.com/newsroom/lizzo-sparks-online-outrage-after-saying-the-whole-country-will-be-like-detroit-if-harris-wins/" target="_blank">the whole country will be like Detroit.</a> Then Cackles herself, when a rally goer shouted "Jesus is Lord" <a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/watch-kamala-harris-mocks-christian-protesters-you-got-the-wrong-rally-cmc/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank">responded with "You've got the wrong rally." No doubt.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) President Trump <a href="https://x.com/alx/status/1847112226848584174" target="_blank">tore it up at the Al Smith dinner.</a> His best jokes were to the actor who played Tim Walz on SNL, saying he won't have to do that much longer, and to Chuck SpewMore, saying that thanks to the failure of Cackles, SpewMore still had a chance to be the first female president. Yesterday he <a href="https://x.com/LeadingReport/status/1848061598306644134/photo/1" target="_blank">visited a McDonald's in Pennsylvania where he cooked French Fries</a>, unlike Cackles, who claimed she did. It is stupid and disgusting for supposedly knowledgeable people to call this a "stunt." It was no more a stunt than visiting a construction site & putting on a hat or kissing a baby. Sheesh.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) In <a href="https://wltreport.com/2024/10/17/breaking-republicans-now-favorites-win-trifecta-house-senate/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">the polymarket betting markets</a> the Republicans are now set for the trifecta, winning the House, Senate, and Presidency. Probably even more telling of where the race is, both <a href="https://x.com/JackPosobiec/status/1847259024376397897" target="_blank">Bob Casey</a> (PA) and <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1847290137618624571" target="_blank">Tammy Baldwin </a>(WI) are running ads with them praising Trump's policies.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Always the DemoKKKrats: a <a href="https://wltreport.com/2024/10/16/democratic-party-chair-resigns-after-getting-arrested-ripping/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">NC DemoKKKrat chairman had to resign after being caught ripping up opponents' campaign signs.</a> Speaking of cheating, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/article/legal-issues-ahead-of-the-2024-election-5742382?ea_src=frontpage&ea_cnt=a&ea_med=top-news-6-special-report-top-news-top-news-6-special-report-0-title-0" target="_blank">this is a good look at all the election-related lawsuits</a>. For the most part, Republicans have lost the latest rounds, particularly in GA where a judge ruled against the hand counting of ballots as a safeguard as coming "too close" to an election" and in Texas, where a judge put a hold on numerous safeguards. Consensus is that only if lower courts take the cases will the Supes ever get involved in an election case. Oh, and while we're on the courts, Judge Chutkan in the J6 (Patriot Day) case has <a href="https://www.oann.com/newsroom/judge-orders-additional-documents-on-trump-jan-6-case-to-be-unsealed/" target="_blank">ruled that additional Trump-favorable docs must be released </a>or it would present the appearance of impropriety. Ya don't say?</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Rasmussen has Sam <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1847667685900878073" target="_blank">Brown leading Jackie Rosen</a> in the Nevada Senate race. For what it's worth, I do not believe this. Every other poll but one has had Brown down outside the margin of error. This <a href="https://x.com/KyleMartinsen_/status/1847789659817939392" target="_blank">Atlas Intel poll has McCormick (R) up over Casey (D) in PA</a> by 1. Again, I think this race is close but I still have McCormick trailing. However, in this case (vs. NV) I think Trump can make up the difference on election day.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) For those who do polls, this TIPP poll that <a href="https://x.com/IAPolls2022/status/1847932479371436139" target="_blank">now has Trump leading by 2 had him trailing by 4 two weeks ago.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>7) The Archdiocese of LA <a href="https://www.oann.com/newsroom/archdiocese-of-l-a-agrees-to-pay-880m-to-more-than-1300-victims-of-clergy-sexual-abuse-bringing-total-up-to-1-5b/" target="_blank">has settled claims with the city for $880 million</a>, bringing the total paid out so far to over $1.5 billion for kiddie diddling.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Florida <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/florida-sues-federal-government-seeking-data-on-noncitizen-voters-5743068?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2024-10-17-4&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2024-10-17-4&utm_medium=email&utm_term=digital&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">sued the feds</a> over illegal criminals voting.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) Elon Musk didn't fix everything with his SpaceX launch, but <a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2024/10/spacex_just_changed_everything_for_space_launch_and_recovery.html" target="_blank">he went a long way in moving us from reliance on government for big projects to entrepreneurial-driven progress.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>10) In New Kabul (NYC) a <a href="https://www.oann.com/newsroom/n-y-c-pta-president-accused-of-stealing-40k-from-elementary-school-used-it-for-vet-bills-amazon-purchases-and-uber-eats/" target="_blank">PTA president was accused of pilfering $40,000 meant for an elementary school</a> for vet bills and Uber Eats. That's a lot of grooming and pizza!</p><p>11) There was a <a href="https://x.com/BarakRavid/status/1847695251823350183" target="_blank">major security breach where U.S. intel allowed details of Israeli plans for a strike to leak</a> out. If President Trump had taken those briefings, the intel community would be blaming him.</p><p><br /> </p><p>12) <a href="https://100percentfedup.com/high-school-cross-country-runner-passes-away-after/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">Three young athletes have died in TN recently</a>, but of course I'm sure the vax had nothing to do with it.</p><p><br /> </p><p>13) <a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/watch-kamala-harris-mocks-christian-protesters-you-got-the-wrong-rally-cmc/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank">Navajo Code Talker John Kinsel, Sr</a>. died at age 107.</p><p><br /> </p><p>14) The House preliminary report on the attempted assassination of President Trump as we suspected,<a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/tragic-and-shocking-house-report-reveals-chilling-failures-by-secret-service-moments-before-first-trump-shooting-mstef/?utm_source=postup&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> found a complete FUBAR situation</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>15) Ryan Burge shows how incredibly<a href="https://www.graphsaboutreligion.com/p/the-politics-of-organized-nones?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1561197&post_id=149943180&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> far left the "nones" ar</a>e---on the far end of the spectrum.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1847243306410881474" target="_blank">Day one of early voting in NC</a> saw an 18 point shift from 2020 (when Trump won the state with a much higher DemoKKKrat registration margin) and an astonishing TWO POINTS behind DemoKKKrats and on<a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1847609472455151824" target="_blank"> Oct. 19 actually took the lead</a>. This is unheard of for Republicans to run so strong in early voting. <a href="https://x.com/UPTGOP/status/1847279175087874487" target="_blank">PA continues to outperform its 2020 numbers with Rs</a>, underperform with Ds. Here is part of the reason: the NC early vote breakdown is <a href="https://x.com/OpenSourceZone/status/1847299552442740841" target="_blank">69% white, 21% black</a>, an 18-point shift from 2020. In PA, <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/democrats-see-103-percent-increase-pennsylvania-voters-leaving-party-1970300" target="_blank">DemoKKKrats saw a 103% increase in voters leaving the party.</a> In Nevada, on the first day of early voting the <a href="https://x.com/jeremybhughes/status/1847963339227373798" target="_blank">Ds lead has been cut from 40,000 in 2020 to just 1,700 now</a>. (Trump only lost by 33,000, and many D votes this time around will be for Trump). Also, the NV data---like that of PA---shows <a href="https://x.com/RyanGirdusky/status/1848048452418039978" target="_blank">Rs getting out far more low-propensity voters while Ds are turning out their 4/4 base voters</a>. Not good for Ds. Meanwhile, the latest Cackles strategy was to portray Trump as old, tired, and exhausted. Then her <a href="https://x.com/_johnnymaga/status/1848037349294248328" target="_blank">own veep gets up and says of himself and Cackles, "We're fatigued. We're fatigued."</a> Seems none of Cackles' supporters can get a narrative straight. Now Lizzo says if Cackles is elected <a href="https://www.oann.com/newsroom/lizzo-sparks-online-outrage-after-saying-the-whole-country-will-be-like-detroit-if-harris-wins/" target="_blank">the whole country will be like Detroit.</a> Then Cackles herself, when a rally goer shouted "Jesus is Lord" <a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/watch-kamala-harris-mocks-christian-protesters-you-got-the-wrong-rally-cmc/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank">responded with "You've got the wrong rally." No doubt.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) President Trump <a href="https://x.com/alx/status/1847112226848584174" target="_blank">tore it up at the Al Smith dinner.</a> His best jokes were to the actor who played Tim Walz on SNL, saying he won't have to do that much longer, and to Chuck SpewMore, saying that thanks to the failure of Cackles, SpewMore still had a chance to be the first female president. Yesterday he <a href="https://x.com/LeadingReport/status/1848061598306644134/photo/1" target="_blank">visited a McDonald's in Pennsylvania where he cooked French Fries</a>, unlike Cackles, who claimed she did. It is stupid and disgusting for supposedly knowledgeable people to call this a "stunt." It was no more a stunt than visiting a construction site & putting on a hat or kissing a baby. Sheesh.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) In <a href="https://wltreport.com/2024/10/17/breaking-republicans-now-favorites-win-trifecta-house-senate/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">the polymarket betting markets</a> the Republicans are now set for the trifecta, winning the House, Senate, and Presidency. Probably even more telling of where the race is, both <a href="https://x.com/JackPosobiec/status/1847259024376397897" target="_blank">Bob Casey</a> (PA) and <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1847290137618624571" target="_blank">Tammy Baldwin </a>(WI) are running ads with them praising Trump's policies.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Always the DemoKKKrats: a <a href="https://wltreport.com/2024/10/16/democratic-party-chair-resigns-after-getting-arrested-ripping/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">NC DemoKKKrat chairman had to resign after being caught ripping up opponents' campaign signs.</a> Speaking of cheating, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/article/legal-issues-ahead-of-the-2024-election-5742382?ea_src=frontpage&ea_cnt=a&ea_med=top-news-6-special-report-top-news-top-news-6-special-report-0-title-0" target="_blank">this is a good look at all the election-related lawsuits</a>. For the most part, Republicans have lost the latest rounds, particularly in GA where a judge ruled against the hand counting of ballots as a safeguard as coming "too close" to an election" and in Texas, where a judge put a hold on numerous safeguards. Consensus is that only if lower courts take the cases will the Supes ever get involved in an election case. Oh, and while we're on the courts, Judge Chutkan in the J6 (Patriot Day) case has <a href="https://www.oann.com/newsroom/judge-orders-additional-documents-on-trump-jan-6-case-to-be-unsealed/" target="_blank">ruled that additional Trump-favorable docs must be released </a>or it would present the appearance of impropriety. Ya don't say?</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Rasmussen has Sam <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1847667685900878073" target="_blank">Brown leading Jackie Rosen</a> in the Nevada Senate race. For what it's worth, I do not believe this. Every other poll but one has had Brown down outside the margin of error. This <a href="https://x.com/KyleMartinsen_/status/1847789659817939392" target="_blank">Atlas Intel poll has McCormick (R) up over Casey (D) in PA</a> by 1. Again, I think this race is close but I still have McCormick trailing. However, in this case (vs. NV) I think Trump can make up the difference on election day.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) For those who do polls, this TIPP poll that <a href="https://x.com/IAPolls2022/status/1847932479371436139" target="_blank">now has Trump leading by 2 had him trailing by 4 two weeks ago.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>7) The Archdiocese of LA <a href="https://www.oann.com/newsroom/archdiocese-of-l-a-agrees-to-pay-880m-to-more-than-1300-victims-of-clergy-sexual-abuse-bringing-total-up-to-1-5b/" target="_blank">has settled claims with the city for $880 million</a>, bringing the total paid out so far to over $1.5 billion for kiddie diddling.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Florida <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/florida-sues-federal-government-seeking-data-on-noncitizen-voters-5743068?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2024-10-17-4&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2024-10-17-4&utm_medium=email&utm_term=digital&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">sued the feds</a> over illegal criminals voting.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) Elon Musk didn't fix everything with his SpaceX launch, but <a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2024/10/spacex_just_changed_everything_for_space_launch_and_recovery.html" target="_blank">he went a long way in moving us from reliance on government for big projects to entrepreneurial-driven progress.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>10) In New Kabul (NYC) a <a href="https://www.oann.com/newsroom/n-y-c-pta-president-accused-of-stealing-40k-from-elementary-school-used-it-for-vet-bills-amazon-purchases-and-uber-eats/" target="_blank">PTA president was accused of pilfering $40,000 meant for an elementary school</a> for vet bills and Uber Eats. That's a lot of grooming and pizza!</p><p>11) There was a <a href="https://x.com/BarakRavid/status/1847695251823350183" target="_blank">major security breach where U.S. intel allowed details of Israeli plans for a strike to leak</a> out. If President Trump had taken those briefings, the intel community would be blaming him.</p><p><br /> </p><p>12) <a href="https://100percentfedup.com/high-school-cross-country-runner-passes-away-after/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">Three young athletes have died in TN recently</a>, but of course I'm sure the vax had nothing to do with it.</p><p><br /> </p><p>13) <a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/watch-kamala-harris-mocks-christian-protesters-you-got-the-wrong-rally-cmc/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank">Navajo Code Talker John Kinsel, Sr</a>. died at age 107.</p><p><br /> </p><p>14) The House preliminary report on the attempted assassination of President Trump as we suspected,<a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/tragic-and-shocking-house-report-reveals-chilling-failures-by-secret-service-moments-before-first-trump-shooting-mstef/?utm_source=postup&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> found a complete FUBAR situation</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>15) Ryan Burge shows how incredibly<a href="https://www.graphsaboutreligion.com/p/the-politics-of-organized-nones?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1561197&post_id=149943180&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> far left the "nones" ar</a>e---on the far end of the spectrum.

In WI, the <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1846189624688800035" target="_blank">strong R counties are crushing the blue counties</a> so far in early ballot requests, 2:1 (that's numbers, not percent so the size of the counties are irrelevant!) Even <a href="https://www.rvmnews.com/2024/10/kamalas-collapse-now-being-reported-on-msnbc-the-shift-is-here-watch/" target="_blank">MSNBC has reported a "shift" against Cackles</a>. (I felt this shift last Friday/Saturday and remarked about it on Twit.) In Georgia, <a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1846368808736260425" target="_blank">the ratio of white voters is up, the percentage of blacks is down.</a> And as of October 17, the <a href="https://x.com/OpenSourceZone/status/1846930134718136707" target="_blank">early vote returns are TIED</a>. By the way, PA registration has been<a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1846368808736260425" target="_blank"> R+19 since Cackles entered the race.</a> and R early ballot requests in PA are AHEAD of Ds, and Rs exceeded Ds yesterday. This whole world is shifting.a For example, <a href="https://x.com/OpenSourceZone/status/1846902582591054065" target="_blank">mail in ballots in NV are also of Rs (43%-27%)</a>.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) As you know, I don't like polling but the lefty<a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1846499647453270487" target="_blank"> Marquette poll </a>now has Trump up nationally and this poll now<a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1846611489991651547" target="_blank"> has Trump pulling away in PA</a>. This report<a href="https://x.com/DanODonnellShow/status/1846579463561028044" target="_blank"> has Cackles pulling ads from Milwaukee</a>, so that may be the Cheese State. Not surprising then that the <a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/new-gallup-poll-shows-americans-leaving-democrat-party-in-droves-mace/?utm_source=ElWiz&utm_medium=twitter" target="_blank">new Gallup party ID poll</a> has an R+3 electorate but it's <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/2024-election/2024/10/16/poll-more-americans-lean-republican-than-democrat-by-7-point-margin/" target="_blank">SEVEN POINTS </a>when leaners are "pushed." Trump leads indies by a whopping 10 points in the latest Marist<a href="https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2024/10/16/wait-trump-leads-indies-by-how-much-in-new-poll-n3795888" target="_blank"> poll</a>.<a href="http://poll.in/" target="_blank"> </a>In FL, where typically DemoKKKrats absurdly run up the score in early voting, their advantage is barely over 5 no. In 2020, it was 21. Heck, even <a href="https://x.com/RedEaglePatriot/status/1846675607775592643" target="_blank">FAUX has to admit Trump is winning</a>, having him up 2 (which would be at least 312 EVs). The National Catholic Reporter poll found <a href="https://www.christianpost.com/news/trump-leads-harris-among-catholics-in-swing-states-poll.html" target="_blank">Trump leading Cackles among Catholics</a>. Brett Baier hit Cackles with that news right off the bat. According to reports, Cackles staff was desperate to end the interview. <a href="https://x.com/paulsperry_/status/1846702436657909998" target="_blank">Paul Sperry reported</a>: "No fewer than four handlers for Kamala frantically waved their hands to signal to Fox News anchor Bret Baier to cut his interview with her short. "It's gotta stop!" Baier said they conveyed." Then there was this weird evidence: Zero and Rutabaga were seen at Ethyl Kennedy's funeral and Zero was telling Rutabaga (according to lip readers)<a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13968177/barack-obama-joe-biden-funeral-conversation.html" target="_blank"> "No." "Not good," probably talking about the Cackles campaign.</a> <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/10/16/nolte-halperin-says-trump-victory-will-cause-greatest-mental-health-crisis-in-history/" target="_blank">Mark Halperin </a>says that a Trump victory will cause the greatest mental health crisis of our lifetimes.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) And, <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1846886028411343353" target="_blank">for general overall pants-filling, the DemoKKKrats are just freaking out: </a>“This is not where we want to be with less than three weeks to go. This is terrifying.”</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) On his "Bourbon and Barnes" podcast last night, lawyer Robert Barnes had a fascinating take---one that really I hadn't considered---on the DemoKKKrats' seeming failure to understand the magnitude of the defeat facing them. His theory is that they really don't believe they stole the 2020 race. Thus they believe the current hoax polling.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) This is pretty incredible. <a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/10/tim-ive-got-get-elected-first-apple-ceo/" target="_blank">Apple's Tim Cook called TRUMP</a> about the EU regulations, not Rutabaga or Cackles.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) We knew this all along. Crime is up. Now the FascistBI has engaged in a <a href="https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2024/10/16/stealth_edit_fbi_quietly_revises_violent_crime_stats_1065396.html" target="_blank">"stealth edit" of crime stats putting them higher.</a>, DOUBLING their original lies.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) I missed this the first time I reported this, but an <a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2024/10/how_a_federal_district_court_judge_weaponized_secret_algorithms_to_stop_election_fraud_hidden_in_state_voter_rolls.html" target="_blank">AZ judge blocked an algorithm</a> that could potentially enable fraud that was instituted by the useless toadcreeper Sec State Adrian Fontes.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) This is some sort of karma right here, as <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/10/16/us-news/eric-adams-legal-hopes-in-corruption-case-could-depend-on-trump-victory-sources/" target="_blank">New Kabul (NYC) mayor Eric the Red Adams' legal fate</a> now rests in the hands of . . . Donald Trump as President.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2024/10/16/msnbc-arizona-early-voting-kamala-harris/" target="_blank">MSNBC sent a reporter into the field and he couldn't find ANYONE who voted for Cackles</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>10) Big lawsuit here:<a href="https://nypost.com/2024/10/16/business/factory-workers-drowned-during-hurricane-helene-as-ceo-survived-suit/" target="_blank"> Employees at a Tennessee factory were told to stay at work while the bosses snuck out the back</a>. Two employees drowned.</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) A <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/10/16/us-news/dimwitted-tiktokker-tore-down-greek-flags-at-nj-restaurant-thinking-they-were-israeli-oh-s-t-my-bad/" target="_blank">dimwit lib tore down Greek flags at a NY restaurant</a> thinking they were Israeli flags.</p><p><br /> </p><p>12) Janet Screamin' and Yellin has allowed <a href="https://christopherrufo.com/p/dei-captures-the-treasury-department?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1248321&post_id=150327011&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">DEI to capture the Treasury Department.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>13) <a href="https://x.com/newstart_2024/status/1846608289884524977?t=OBJ4UAd2HTVgUoyw416XnQ&s=03" target="_blank">Congress just voted to fund Ozempic</a> with Medicare to the tune of $1500 a month. Most members of Congress take money from Novo Nordisk, the maker of Ozempic as RFK, Jr. points out, and MOST users are not diabetics but celebrities wanting the weight loss features.</p><p><br /> </p><p> 14) In the ever important senate races, <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1846146554064720210" target="_blank">Eric Hovde has taken a one-point lead</a> in WI.</p><p><br /> </p><p>15) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/georgia-judge-rules-county-officials-cant-delay-decline-to-certify-election-results-5741692?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2024-10-15-2&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2024-10-15-2&utm_medium=email&utm_term=digital&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5ZwpC2sLA%2B7YHtWRLH5R9xkIHK2cN2s6OsMvn4fLQH7QYRE5kM7gr" target="_blank">A GA judge ruled that the state must certify the winner of the election even if there are charges of fraud. </a>DemoKKKrats don't realize it yet but they have made "resisting" or "protesting" Trump's election impossible.</p><p><br /> </p><p>16) The new <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/3186124/new-sec-database-violates-privacy-freedom-association/?utm_source=deployer&utm_medium=email&utm_content=&utm_campaign=Beltway+Confidential&utm_term=" target="_blank">SEC database violates privacy and freedom of expression.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>17) David Blackmon, the Rush Limbaugh of Energy, <a href="https://blackmon.substack.com/p/when-greens-declare-war-ongreens?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=712558&post_id=150301832&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">reveals the final absurdity of the green movement in that now it has declared war on greens.</a> That's right, GARDENS are now a threat because of the CO2. I am serious when I say that they will soon be CALLING for the cutting down of the Amazon Rain Forest to save the earth. These people are psychotic nutbags who need to be institutionalized with big ugly guys named Bruno.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>18) This is probably the greatest human tragedy of the repulsive, vile Rutabaga/Cackles regime: <a href="https://amgreatness.com/2024/10/16/morning-greatness-sex-trafficking-of-migrant-girls-has-exploded-under-biden-harris-admin/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=27839" target="_blank">an explosion in human trafficking.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>19) Remember when this was only "a couple of apartment complexes" in Aurora, CO?

In WI, the <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1846189624688800035" target="_blank">strong R counties are crushing the blue counties</a> so far in early ballot requests, 2:1 (that's numbers, not percent so the size of the counties are irrelevant!) Even <a href="https://www.rvmnews.com/2024/10/kamalas-collapse-now-being-reported-on-msnbc-the-shift-is-here-watch/" target="_blank">MSNBC has reported a "shift" against Cackles</a>. (I felt this shift last Friday/Saturday and remarked about it on Twit.) In Georgia, <a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1846368808736260425" target="_blank">the ratio of white voters is up, the percentage of blacks is down.</a> And as of October 17, the <a href="https://x.com/OpenSourceZone/status/1846930134718136707" target="_blank">early vote returns are TIED</a>. By the way, PA registration has been<a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1846368808736260425" target="_blank"> R+19 since Cackles entered the race.</a> and R early ballot requests in PA are AHEAD of Ds, and Rs exceeded Ds yesterday. This whole world is shifting.a For example, <a href="https://x.com/OpenSourceZone/status/1846902582591054065" target="_blank">mail in ballots in NV are also of Rs (43%-27%)</a>.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) As you know, I don't like polling but the lefty<a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1846499647453270487" target="_blank"> Marquette poll </a>now has Trump up nationally and this poll now<a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1846611489991651547" target="_blank"> has Trump pulling away in PA</a>. This report<a href="https://x.com/DanODonnellShow/status/1846579463561028044" target="_blank"> has Cackles pulling ads from Milwaukee</a>, so that may be the Cheese State. Not surprising then that the <a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/new-gallup-poll-shows-americans-leaving-democrat-party-in-droves-mace/?utm_source=ElWiz&utm_medium=twitter" target="_blank">new Gallup party ID poll</a> has an R+3 electorate but it's <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/2024-election/2024/10/16/poll-more-americans-lean-republican-than-democrat-by-7-point-margin/" target="_blank">SEVEN POINTS </a>when leaners are "pushed." Trump leads indies by a whopping 10 points in the latest Marist<a href="https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2024/10/16/wait-trump-leads-indies-by-how-much-in-new-poll-n3795888" target="_blank"> poll</a>.<a href="http://poll.in/" target="_blank"> </a>In FL, where typically DemoKKKrats absurdly run up the score in early voting, their advantage is barely over 5 no. In 2020, it was 21. Heck, even <a href="https://x.com/RedEaglePatriot/status/1846675607775592643" target="_blank">FAUX has to admit Trump is winning</a>, having him up 2 (which would be at least 312 EVs). The National Catholic Reporter poll found <a href="https://www.christianpost.com/news/trump-leads-harris-among-catholics-in-swing-states-poll.html" target="_blank">Trump leading Cackles among Catholics</a>. Brett Baier hit Cackles with that news right off the bat. According to reports, Cackles staff was desperate to end the interview. <a href="https://x.com/paulsperry_/status/1846702436657909998" target="_blank">Paul Sperry reported</a>: "No fewer than four handlers for Kamala frantically waved their hands to signal to Fox News anchor Bret Baier to cut his interview with her short. "It's gotta stop!" Baier said they conveyed." Then there was this weird evidence: Zero and Rutabaga were seen at Ethyl Kennedy's funeral and Zero was telling Rutabaga (according to lip readers)<a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13968177/barack-obama-joe-biden-funeral-conversation.html" target="_blank"> "No." "Not good," probably talking about the Cackles campaign.</a> <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/10/16/nolte-halperin-says-trump-victory-will-cause-greatest-mental-health-crisis-in-history/" target="_blank">Mark Halperin </a>says that a Trump victory will cause the greatest mental health crisis of our lifetimes.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) And, <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1846886028411343353" target="_blank">for general overall pants-filling, the DemoKKKrats are just freaking out: </a>“This is not where we want to be with less than three weeks to go. This is terrifying.”</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) On his "Bourbon and Barnes" podcast last night, lawyer Robert Barnes had a fascinating take---one that really I hadn't considered---on the DemoKKKrats' seeming failure to understand the magnitude of the defeat facing them. His theory is that they really don't believe they stole the 2020 race. Thus they believe the current hoax polling.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) This is pretty incredible. <a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/10/tim-ive-got-get-elected-first-apple-ceo/" target="_blank">Apple's Tim Cook called TRUMP</a> about the EU regulations, not Rutabaga or Cackles.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) We knew this all along. Crime is up. Now the FascistBI has engaged in a <a href="https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2024/10/16/stealth_edit_fbi_quietly_revises_violent_crime_stats_1065396.html" target="_blank">"stealth edit" of crime stats putting them higher.</a>, DOUBLING their original lies.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) I missed this the first time I reported this, but an <a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2024/10/how_a_federal_district_court_judge_weaponized_secret_algorithms_to_stop_election_fraud_hidden_in_state_voter_rolls.html" target="_blank">AZ judge blocked an algorithm</a> that could potentially enable fraud that was instituted by the useless toadcreeper Sec State Adrian Fontes.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) This is some sort of karma right here, as <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/10/16/us-news/eric-adams-legal-hopes-in-corruption-case-could-depend-on-trump-victory-sources/" target="_blank">New Kabul (NYC) mayor Eric the Red Adams' legal fate</a> now rests in the hands of . . . Donald Trump as President.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2024/10/16/msnbc-arizona-early-voting-kamala-harris/" target="_blank">MSNBC sent a reporter into the field and he couldn't find ANYONE who voted for Cackles</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>10) Big lawsuit here:<a href="https://nypost.com/2024/10/16/business/factory-workers-drowned-during-hurricane-helene-as-ceo-survived-suit/" target="_blank"> Employees at a Tennessee factory were told to stay at work while the bosses snuck out the back</a>. Two employees drowned.</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) A <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/10/16/us-news/dimwitted-tiktokker-tore-down-greek-flags-at-nj-restaurant-thinking-they-were-israeli-oh-s-t-my-bad/" target="_blank">dimwit lib tore down Greek flags at a NY restaurant</a> thinking they were Israeli flags.</p><p><br /> </p><p>12) Janet Screamin' and Yellin has allowed <a href="https://christopherrufo.com/p/dei-captures-the-treasury-department?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1248321&post_id=150327011&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">DEI to capture the Treasury Department.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>13) <a href="https://x.com/newstart_2024/status/1846608289884524977?t=OBJ4UAd2HTVgUoyw416XnQ&s=03" target="_blank">Congress just voted to fund Ozempic</a> with Medicare to the tune of $1500 a month. Most members of Congress take money from Novo Nordisk, the maker of Ozempic as RFK, Jr. points out, and MOST users are not diabetics but celebrities wanting the weight loss features.</p><p><br /> </p><p> 14) In the ever important senate races, <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1846146554064720210" target="_blank">Eric Hovde has taken a one-point lead</a> in WI.</p><p><br /> </p><p>15) <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/georgia-judge-rules-county-officials-cant-delay-decline-to-certify-election-results-5741692?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2024-10-15-2&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2024-10-15-2&utm_medium=email&utm_term=digital&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5ZwpC2sLA%2B7YHtWRLH5R9xkIHK2cN2s6OsMvn4fLQH7QYRE5kM7gr" target="_blank">A GA judge ruled that the state must certify the winner of the election even if there are charges of fraud. </a>DemoKKKrats don't realize it yet but they have made "resisting" or "protesting" Trump's election impossible.</p><p><br /> </p><p>16) The new <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/3186124/new-sec-database-violates-privacy-freedom-association/?utm_source=deployer&utm_medium=email&utm_content=&utm_campaign=Beltway+Confidential&utm_term=" target="_blank">SEC database violates privacy and freedom of expression.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>17) David Blackmon, the Rush Limbaugh of Energy, <a href="https://blackmon.substack.com/p/when-greens-declare-war-ongreens?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=712558&post_id=150301832&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">reveals the final absurdity of the green movement in that now it has declared war on greens.</a> That's right, GARDENS are now a threat because of the CO2. I am serious when I say that they will soon be CALLING for the cutting down of the Amazon Rain Forest to save the earth. These people are psychotic nutbags who need to be institutionalized with big ugly guys named Bruno.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>18) This is probably the greatest human tragedy of the repulsive, vile Rutabaga/Cackles regime: <a href="https://amgreatness.com/2024/10/16/morning-greatness-sex-trafficking-of-migrant-girls-has-exploded-under-biden-harris-admin/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=27839" target="_blank">an explosion in human trafficking.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>19) Remember when this was only "a couple of apartment complexes" in Aurora, CO?

      <title>TODAY&apos;S NEWS, WEEKEND EDITION, October 11-14, 2024</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) So usually I don't do this, but this article is so important I think that I'm going to pull a "Rush Limbaugh" and analyze this in the news. First, it's <i>The Hiill</i>, one of the three approved DemoKKKrat media outlets in D.C. For <i>The Hill</i> to say this, it's big. The article is<a href="https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/4929051-the-4-reasons-harris-is-losing/" target="_blank"> "The 4 Reasons Harris is Losing."</a> Now keep in mind that the Hoax Pollsters <i>still</i> either have her up or tied nationally. Apparently someone isn't getting the memo. This article is based on interviews with anonymous DemoKKKrat campaign operatives who think Harris is losing. The four reasons? a) Cackles sucks as a candidate and her media blitz didn't help; b) She can't escape the Rutabaga record. All her word salad answers don't get to the issue: "You were in for four years and caused this!" c) This one is stupid, at least as they phrased it: "You cannot run against a cult of personality." See, the moron DemoKKKrat turdtotems still see Trump as a "personality" rather than the embodiment of a <i>movement</i>. I'm glad they still are screwed up, but it's amazing to me that after eight years they still haven't figured him out. d) This is really important though: Cackles has no answer for "Are you better off today than you were four years ago?" To me the significance of these questions is far less important than the fact that the article came out, meaning that DemoKKKrats in the know understand that Cackles is losing big. This Cackles advisor says they are losing PA: <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1845634446902567370" target="_blank">"we can't run up the score"</a> in Philly. And she <a href="https://protrumpnews.com/unlike-every-other-presidential-candidate-time-magazine-chair-calls-out-kamala-harris-over-hiding-from-press/" target="_blank">declined an interview with <i>Time</i></a>, unlike every other presidential candidate.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Going around the horn with some of the data since late last week, North Carolina shows DemoKKKrats with only an 8% lead in early mail-in voting, a disaster for them in that state, while Republicans have actually . . . for the first time ever . . . <a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1845111312637915568" target="_blank">taken the lead in "active voters." </a>NBC <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1845453301581574386" target="_blank">now has Trump up 1;</a> CBS's <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1845467607064875287" target="_blank">battleground poll</a> has Trump up in AZ, GA, NC, tied in PA and WI, and only down 2 in WI and MI. This is a rout, folks. Trump underpolls by 2.1 in every single election. You know it's bad because the DemoKKKrats trotted out Zero---which, they still apparently haven't learned, has never proven to be good at turning out votes for anyone but himself. But Zero's lecturaing prompted this response from one black man:<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/not-acceptable-obama-scolds-black-brothers-not-backing-harris-blames-sexism?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=3199" target="_blank"> "I got a dad and he ain't you."</a> A CNN data reporter says at this point<a href="https://x.com/_johnnymaga/status/1845451959781740769" target="_blank"> Trump will put up the best numbers with blacks since 1960</a> and with Hispanics since 2004. <a href="https://protrumpnews.com/trump-rally-coachella-california/" target="_blank">Trump held a rally at Coachella, Kollyfornia suggesting that his team thinks the map is safe and that there is a play to be made for the popular vote</a> and House seats.

Diddley info, as he is accused of drugging and sexually assaulting an assistant at a DiddleParty.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) In the Arizona Senate race, Kari Lake must be doing pretty well. (Have on good authority her internals have her up). <a href="https://newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/pj-gladnick/2024/10/12/hate-object-arizona-republic-publishes-15-kari-lake-hit-pieces-two" target="_blank">The evil, vile <i>Arizona Repulsive</i> published 15 hit pieces on her in two days.</a> Lucky nobody still reads that birdcage liner.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) In preparation for a President Trump administration, the <a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/new-republicans-launch-investigation-into-george-soros-purchase-of-hundreds-of-radio-stations-mace/?utm_source=postup&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">GOP in Congress has launched an investigation into George Soros's purchase of some 200 radio stations.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>9) Elon Musk's <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/10/13/spacex-starship-rocket-launch-flight-5-booster-catch-attempt.html" target="_blank">Space-X, completing its fifth test flight,</a> has done something NASA could never do: land a rocket vertically.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/10/11/us-news/meteorologists-hit-with-death-threats-after-debunking-hurricane-conspiracy-theories/?dicbo=v2-joUIDp5" target="_blank">Meteorologists have been hit with death threats after debunking hurricane myths.</a> You mean, like they are man made?</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) This is definitely not good: <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/mystery-drones-swarmed-a-u-s-military-base-for-17-days-the-pentagon-is-stumped/ar-AA1saqAu?ocid=msedgntp&pc=ACTS&cvid=e906134369b94e8e9c1d3d05f5a94f60&ei=14" target="_blank">mystery drones swarmed over the Norfolk Navy base for 17 days.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>12) Nor is this, though it certainly doesn't add up.<a href="https://www.oann.com/newsroom/armed-man-arrested-outside-coachella-rally-sheriff-believes-possible-third-trump-assassination-attempt/" target="_blank"> An armed man was arrested outside Trump's Coachella rally</a>, and a sheriff thinks it could be another assassination attempt.

      <title>TODAY&apos;S NEWS, EARLY WEEK EDITION, October 7-11, 2024</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Didn't I say it? I felt over the weekend that the wheels had come off the Cackles clown car and that complete momentum had shifted to President Trump AND Republicans. In WI, R internals show Trump up 3 now, and the Ds are freaking out about Tammy Baldwin losing the senate race. I sense overall panic setting in---for example, the latest (and likely accurate) poll has Trump up 13 in FL. <a href="https://x.com/2waytvapp/status/1843633506565451816" target="_blank">Mark Halperin's latest video blog</a> says Republicans now believe they have the "sunbelt" and PA, so that's the election right there. In Maricopa Co., AZ, a dominant lead for Rs is getting ridiculous. Overnight, both parties saw a blizzard of registrations. Ds registered 2,000!! Wow. Except Rs registered 4,000!!!! Total R lead in Maricopa Co. alone is 175,000 or R+7. How about PA, where the early <a href="https://x.com/TonerousHyus/status/1843653040215363664" target="_blank">ballot requests are now <i><strong>even</strong></i> </a>in a state where Ds usually have a 40 point advantage?? And if you believe in magic, er, polls, here the the <a href="https://x.com/davidchapman141/status/1843822681319452946" target="_blank">latest Insider Advantage </a>that has Trump up 2 in PA (meaning at least a 3 and possibly a 4 point win). Here is <a href="https://x.com/TheCalvinCooli1/status/1844078569150157157" target="_blank">the latest Quinnipiac poll with Trump up 3 in MI and 2 in WI (but strangely down in PA</a>---not possible). And a new <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1844062060625403993" target="_blank">Cook Political report has Trump leading big (7 points) among mid- and low-propensity voters.</a> Actually, I find that low. RealClearPolitics how has Trump up in the average of polls in MI.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) This is very interesting and could be interpreted a couple of ways. <a href="https://x.com/AdImpact_Pol/status/1843754203413459161" target="_blank">An ad-watch agency says Cackles has canceled ads in ME, MN, NH and NV.</a> Now, pro-Cackles people could say they think those states are safe. I can't imagine that, especially NV and NH. Another way to look at it as Custer's Last Stand in PA, WI, and MI---that the others won't matter if Cackles doesn't salvage a win in PA or MI. <a href="https://www.nysun.com/article/the-conventional-wisdom-that-this-is-a-close-election-is-starting-to-fray" target="_blank">Conrad Black</a> says the notion that the Cackles campaign iis beginning to fray. I believe it. Yesterday (supposedly)<a href="https://x.com/IAPolls2022/status/1844418916107341948" target="_blank"> Trump internals </a>had him up in every single battleground state. Except now I want VA, ME, NM, and MN to be the new "battlegrounds."</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) My colleague on DecisionUSA2024 election night coverage, "Captain" Seth Keshel (@RealSKeshel) <a href="https://skeshel.substack.com/p/nevada-trump-v-harris-voter-registration?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=798984&post_id=149881731&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">has Trump winning NV by over 2 points </a>and nearly 40,000 votes. This tracks with Richard Baris's NV polling showing Trump leading in CLARKE Co. by 2. Activote <a href="https://x.com/PpollingNumbers/status/1843988567523315814" target="_blank">has Trump nationally by 2.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Wow, the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/10/us/politics/senate-polls-montana-florida-texas.html" target="_blank"><i>New York Slimes</i> has Rs taking the senate.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>5) A <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/weather/katrina-disaster-unfolds-biden-harris-new-round-tropical-trouble-aimed-florida?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=3178" target="_blank">Katrina-like disaster is unfolding</a> as Rutabaga and Cackles do nothing and FEMA is useless while a new hurricane hits Florida. And this brutal article: Cackles <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/10/10/opinion/kamala-harris-fumbles-hurricane-milton-response-because-she-just-doesnt-care/" target="_blank">bungled hurricane relief because she really doesn't care.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>6) An <a href="https://www.oann.com/newsroom/ex-las-vegas-councilwoman-found-guilty-of-using-70k-meant-for-statue-of-slain-police-officers-for-plastic-surgery-daughters-wedding/" target="_blank">ex-Las Vegas councilwoman has been found guilty of using $70,000 meant for a police memorial</a> on plastic surgery and her daughter's wedding. Psst. The plastic surgery didn't take.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Cackles husband, Doug Emhoff, has been hit with a <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13925099/kamala-harris-husband-doug-emhoff-office-misogynist-flirt.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=social-twitter_dailymailus" target="_blank">slew of sexual harassment allegations.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>8) The NSA is<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/china/nsa-investigating-ccp-backed-hack-into-us-telecommunications-companies-5737610?utm_source=China&src_src=China&utm_campaign=uschina-2024-10-09&src_cmp=uschina-2024-10-09&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5ZwpC2sLA%2B7YHtWRLH5R9xkIHK2cN2s6OsMvn4fLQH7QYRE5kM7gr" target="_blank"> investigating a hack of the major telecom companies </a>by the ChiComs.

This could be the beginning of the Great Exposure.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) Ruy Teixeira, one of the few liberals with a brain, carefully<a href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/the-clean-energy-transitions-voter?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=239058&post_id=149980907&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> reviews a yougov survey on voters' attitudes toward "green" energy</a> and finds they ain't bitin'. No one likes most of the "energy transition" proposals and people know it will create major unseen problems.</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) Shots <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/shots-fires-at-arizona-dnc-campaign-office-for-3rd-time-5738822?utm_source=Goodevening&src_src=Goodevening&utm_campaign=gv-2024-10-10&src_cmp=gv-2024-10-10&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5ZwpC2sLA%2B7YHtWRLH5R9xkIHK2cN2s6OsMvn4fLQH7QYRE5kM7gr" target="_blank">have been fired at an Arizona DNC office for the third time.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>12) I think there is no question that in the AZ Senate race, Kari Lake is building momentum.

I have four books to clear that many sales. For a publisher with an author like me, that's great and the book is profitable already. But when you shell out perhaps $1 million for an advance? It's the literary equivalent of "Heaen's Gate." Oh, and the title is <i>Something Lost, Something Gained</i>. Which isn't too far off. We lost her and gained a real president in Donald Trump.</p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_d1e0e6051165456396a4fbf4df690ba1~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_740,h_740,al_c,q_90,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/221b12_d1e0e6051165456396a4fbf4df690ba1~mv2.png" alt="" /><p>Larry Schweikart</p><p><br /> </p><p>Rock drummer, Film maker,NYTimes <a href="https://www.wildworldofpolitics.com/blog/hashtags/1">#1</a> bestselling author</p><p><br /> </p><p>Link for Patriot’s History Vimeo</p><p><br /> </p><p>https://vimeo.com/40949423</p><p><br /> </p><p>Link to buy larry a coffee</p><p><br /> </p><p><a href="http://buymeacoffee.com/larrys" target="_blank">http://buymeacoffee.com/larrys</a></p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) Didn't I say it? I felt over the weekend that the wheels had come off the Cackles clown car and that complete momentum had shifted to President Trump AND Republicans. In WI, R internals show Trump up 3 now, and the Ds are freaking out about Tammy Baldwin losing the senate race. I sense overall panic setting in---for example, the latest (and likely accurate) poll has Trump up 13 in FL. <a href="https://x.com/2waytvapp/status/1843633506565451816" target="_blank">Mark Halperin's latest video blog</a> says Republicans now believe they have the "sunbelt" and PA, so that's the election right there. In Maricopa Co., AZ, a dominant lead for Rs is getting ridiculous. Overnight, both parties saw a blizzard of registrations. Ds registered 2,000!! Wow. Except Rs registered 4,000!!!! Total R lead in Maricopa Co. alone is 175,000 or R+7. How about PA, where the early <a href="https://x.com/TonerousHyus/status/1843653040215363664" target="_blank">ballot requests are now <i><strong>even</strong></i> </a>in a state where Ds usually have a 40 point advantage?? And if you believe in magic, er, polls, here the the <a href="https://x.com/davidchapman141/status/1843822681319452946" target="_blank">latest Insider Advantage </a>that has Trump up 2 in PA (meaning at least a 3 and possibly a 4 point win). Here is <a href="https://x.com/TheCalvinCooli1/status/1844078569150157157" target="_blank">the latest Quinnipiac poll with Trump up 3 in MI and 2 in WI (but strangely down in PA</a>---not possible). And a new <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1844062060625403993" target="_blank">Cook Political report has Trump leading big (7 points) among mid- and low-propensity voters.</a> Actually, I find that low. RealClearPolitics how has Trump up in the average of polls in MI.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) This is very interesting and could be interpreted a couple of ways. <a href="https://x.com/AdImpact_Pol/status/1843754203413459161" target="_blank">An ad-watch agency says Cackles has canceled ads in ME, MN, NH and NV.</a> Now, pro-Cackles people could say they think those states are safe. I can't imagine that, especially NV and NH. Another way to look at it as Custer's Last Stand in PA, WI, and MI---that the others won't matter if Cackles doesn't salvage a win in PA or MI. <a href="https://www.nysun.com/article/the-conventional-wisdom-that-this-is-a-close-election-is-starting-to-fray" target="_blank">Conrad Black</a> says the notion that the Cackles campaign iis beginning to fray. I believe it. Yesterday (supposedly)<a href="https://x.com/IAPolls2022/status/1844418916107341948" target="_blank"> Trump internals </a>had him up in every single battleground state. Except now I want VA, ME, NM, and MN to be the new "battlegrounds."</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) My colleague on DecisionUSA2024 election night coverage, "Captain" Seth Keshel (@RealSKeshel) <a href="https://skeshel.substack.com/p/nevada-trump-v-harris-voter-registration?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=798984&post_id=149881731&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">has Trump winning NV by over 2 points </a>and nearly 40,000 votes. This tracks with Richard Baris's NV polling showing Trump leading in CLARKE Co. by 2. Activote <a href="https://x.com/PpollingNumbers/status/1843988567523315814" target="_blank">has Trump nationally by 2.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Wow, the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/10/us/politics/senate-polls-montana-florida-texas.html" target="_blank"><i>New York Slimes</i> has Rs taking the senate.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>5) A <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/weather/katrina-disaster-unfolds-biden-harris-new-round-tropical-trouble-aimed-florida?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=3178" target="_blank">Katrina-like disaster is unfolding</a> as Rutabaga and Cackles do nothing and FEMA is useless while a new hurricane hits Florida.

I have four books to clear that many sales. For a publisher with an author like me, that's great and the book is profitable already. But when you shell out perhaps $1 million for an advance? It's the literary equivalent of "Heaen's Gate." Oh, and the title is <i>Something Lost, Something Gained</i>. Which isn't too far off. We lost her and gained a real president in Donald Trump.</p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_d1e0e6051165456396a4fbf4df690ba1~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_740,h_740,al_c,q_90,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/221b12_d1e0e6051165456396a4fbf4df690ba1~mv2.png" alt="" /><p>Larry Schweikart</p><p><br /> </p><p>Rock drummer, Film maker,NYTimes <a href="https://www.wildworldofpolitics.com/blog/hashtags/1">#1</a> bestselling author</p><p><br /> </p><p>Link for Patriot’s History Vimeo</p><p><br /> </p><p>https://vimeo.com/40949423</p><p><br /> </p><p>Link to buy larry a coffee</p><p><br /> </p><p><a href="http://buymeacoffee.com/larrys" target="_blank">http://buymeacoffee.com/larrys</a></p>

      <title>TODAY&apos;S NEWS, WEEKEND IN REVIEW, October 1-6</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) None of the news for Cackles or the DemoKKKrats at large, save for perhaps the NC governor's race, is good. First the voter registration shifts continue at high levels. Over the weekend, Arizona's Maricopa County went over 167,000 net R/D and <a href="https://skeshel.substack.com/p/arizona-trump-v-harris-voter-registration?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=798984&post_id=149760396&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Seth Keshel says by election day Rs in AZ</a> may have a 7 point registration lead; North Carolina's R deficit, which was 400,000 when Trump won in 2016 and over 300,000 when he won in 2020,<a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1842565510669693167" target="_blank"> is now just a 120,000 D advantage!</a> There is a lot of hand wringing about western Carolina voters, and I do believe they will for the most part NOT vote, but I don't see this costing Trump the state any any universe. Currently, for example,<a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1841141909894414823?t=rekbRVkbRuPYkJVlxMfWyw&s=03" target="_blank"> Rs have gained a net 19 points since 2020 in mail-in ballot requests</a>, and the polling now shows Trump with an insurmountable 4-point lead. Remember about 40% of those voters are Ds. You're probably looking at an impact of around 40,000 R decline, which still means Trump wins the state by over 3 points, maybe 4. Meanwhile the senate races continue to trend toward Rs. A <a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/10/04/wisconsin-senate-race-baldwin-hovde" target="_blank">big canary in the coal mine is WI,</a> where Tammy Baldwin was considered safe, and now is at only a 2 point lead according to her own polls. <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1842007529552781710" target="_blank">"Alarm Bells" said one DemoKKKrat</a>. This is fully within the "Trump Zone" to pull Eric Hovde over the line. Baldwin did not attend the Cackles rally in WI. So where are the polls? <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1841919935708111155" target="_blank">Ipsos now has Trump back up by one</a>; Trump is <a href="https://x.com/PollWatch2020/status/1841905245288595524" target="_blank">up one in MI in the latest poll from a MI pollster</a>; this <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1842619208162783303" target="_blank">MI Arab says Cackles has lost the Mulsim vote</a>; and CNN data spooge <a href="https://x.com/OwenGregorian/status/1842527951063020020" target="_blank">Harry Enten</a> says Cackles campaign looks "like a loser." That's cuz it is, Har old boy,. In Virginia, for example, in early voting the "Strong Trump" counties <a href="https://x.com/MadAboutSkin01/status/1842690656042668444" target="_blank">are up 57% over the week before, while strong Cackles counties are only up 18%</a>. And in PA? <a href="https://x.com/ScottPresler/status/1841200995210022924?t=PjpQ1JhURBfPtHXd16_Jow&s=03" target="_blank">DemoKKKrats are down 414,000</a> from where they were at this point in 2020. Smells like vote fraud in 2020. Oh, and <a href="https://x.com/PollWatch2020/status/1840860460200993260?t=ngwCT_UqF-epgJ-_iOk7aA&s=03" target="_blank">in voter registration, PA has seen Ds drop 352,000 since 2020.</a> And the R numbers <a href="https://x.com/Never4get1776/status/1840939831893041213" target="_blank">include over 103,000 new, first time voters</a>. In other bad news for Cackles, the <a href="https://www.oann.com/newsroom/firefighter-union-representing-300000-withholds-democrat-endorsement-second-time-since-1984/" target="_blank">Firefighters' union has withheld an endorsement </a>for only the second time since 1984. Meanwhile, <a href="https://x.com/_johnnymaga/status/1842650492159086625" target="_blank">President Trump held a massive "Eff You" rally at Butler PA in which over 100,000 showed up </a>and 18.2 MILLION streamed it. Elon Musk showed up with a "MAGA" cap. He re-started his speech, after embracing Lee Greenwood who sang "God Bless the USA," by saying, " . . .<a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/trump-butler-pa-rally-cmc/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank"> as I was saying </a>and turned his head to the <i><strong>exact same chart he was discussing when the murderer missed.</strong></i>. And the Cackles staffers are freaking out: <a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/report-harris-staffers-are-terrified-over-lack-of-interviews-swing-state-rallies-cmc/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank">"Trump is everywhere."</a> Oh, and based on GPS phone data, <a href="https://x.com/tonyseruga/status/1842667600167538849?s=46&t=oXM3QUNDayEotvdo1W-zQA" target="_blank">nearly 20,000 of the Butler, PA attendees were new.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) The so-called "rescue" efforts by FEMA (Federal Excrement Management Agency) are pathetic. Reports say they <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/america-last-after-spending-640-million-migrants-and-billions-abroad-fema-suddenly-broke?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=3174" target="_blank">spent their entire budget on illegal criminal aliens</a>, and now see Cackles doling out paltry $750 checks. This will badly harm DemoKKKrats, as I sense people are at the "fed up" moment. <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/fema-issues-warning-on-false-helene-rumors-launches-response-page-5735335?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2024-10-04-4&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2024-10-04-4&utm_medium=email&utm_term=digital&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">FEMA says, "no, no we have plenty of dough."</a> Yet at the same time this incredibly inept, stupid woman <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/10/06/kamala-harris-touts-157-million-for-civilians-in-lebanon-despite-just-750-for-hurricane-helene-victims/" target="_blank">actually tweeted out support of sending $157 million to Lebanon.</a> Is that why perhaps <a href="https://x.com/lauraloomer/status/1842776136901673077?s=46&t=oXM3QUNDayEotvdo1W-zQA" target="_blank">Saturday Night Live</a> is doing skits of her being a drunk?</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Folks, this is how you know you can trust me. I will tell you when I don't know what is really going on---but <i>something</i> is going on with all the stuff happening in New York with Gov. Hockaloogie's aides, Andrew Cu0mo being driven out in 2021, P. Diddley, who had two homes there, Eric the Red Adams being indicted, the NYPD cops indicted, now this: <a href="https://www.oann.com/newsroom/nyc-deputy-mayor-sheena-wright-latest-mayor-adams-official-to-step-down-amidst-federal-investigations/" target="_blank">the Deputy Mayor of New Kabul (NYC) has stepped down under rumors of investigations.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Even<a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/04/politics/walz-audits-fraud-accountability-invs/index.html" target="_blank"> CNN has turned on Tampon Timmy</a> and his Minny fraud operations.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) The <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/business/port-strike-ends-as-union-reaches-tentative-agreement-5734967?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2024-10-03-2&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2024-10-03-2&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">port strike ended quickly</a>. Some want to credit DeSoros for threatening to use the National Guard. I doubt this.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) An <a href="https://jeffreycarter.substack.com/p/total-and-utter-incompetence?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=462801&post_id=149763496&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">important column by Jeffrey Carter</a>. I have said for some times (as has Robert Barnes) that the current crop of DemoKKKrats, far from being the impervious demigods some Republicans think they are, are incompetent boobs. They totally screwed up getting rid of Rutabaga until it was too late because they placed all hope in lawfare; they allowed Rutabaga to make Cackles his veep; they ignored the working class, Hispanics, Jews, and blacks for illegal criminal aliens and Hamas murder pirates, and in general have run a crappy campaign.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) None of the news for Cackles or the DemoKKKrats at large, save for perhaps the NC governor's race, is good. First the voter registration shifts continue at high levels. Over the weekend, Arizona's Maricopa County went over 167,000 net R/D and <a href="https://skeshel.substack.com/p/arizona-trump-v-harris-voter-registration?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=798984&post_id=149760396&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Seth Keshel says by election day Rs in AZ</a> may have a 7 point registration lead; North Carolina's R deficit, which was 400,000 when Trump won in 2016 and over 300,000 when he won in 2020,<a href="https://x.com/MichaelPruser/status/1842565510669693167" target="_blank"> is now just a 120,000 D advantage!</a> There is a lot of hand wringing about western Carolina voters, and I do believe they will for the most part NOT vote, but I don't see this costing Trump the state any any universe. Currently, for example,<a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1841141909894414823?t=rekbRVkbRuPYkJVlxMfWyw&s=03" target="_blank"> Rs have gained a net 19 points since 2020 in mail-in ballot requests</a>, and the polling now shows Trump with an insurmountable 4-point lead. Remember about 40% of those voters are Ds. You're probably looking at an impact of around 40,000 R decline, which still means Trump wins the state by over 3 points, maybe 4. Meanwhile the senate races continue to trend toward Rs. A <a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/10/04/wisconsin-senate-race-baldwin-hovde" target="_blank">big canary in the coal mine is WI,</a> where Tammy Baldwin was considered safe, and now is at only a 2 point lead according to her own polls. <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1842007529552781710" target="_blank">"Alarm Bells" said one DemoKKKrat</a>. This is fully within the "Trump Zone" to pull Eric Hovde over the line. Baldwin did not attend the Cackles rally in WI. So where are the polls? <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1841919935708111155" target="_blank">Ipsos now has Trump back up by one</a>; Trump is <a href="https://x.com/PollWatch2020/status/1841905245288595524" target="_blank">up one in MI in the latest poll from a MI pollster</a>; this <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1842619208162783303" target="_blank">MI Arab says Cackles has lost the Mulsim vote</a>; and CNN data spooge <a href="https://x.com/OwenGregorian/status/1842527951063020020" target="_blank">Harry Enten</a> says Cackles campaign looks "like a loser." That's cuz it is, Har old boy,. In Virginia, for example, in early voting the "Strong Trump" counties <a href="https://x.com/MadAboutSkin01/status/1842690656042668444" target="_blank">are up 57% over the week before, while strong Cackles counties are only up 18%</a>. And in PA? <a href="https://x.com/ScottPresler/status/1841200995210022924?t=PjpQ1JhURBfPtHXd16_Jow&s=03" target="_blank">DemoKKKrats are down 414,000</a> from where they were at this point in 2020. Smells like vote fraud in 2020. Oh, and <a href="https://x.com/PollWatch2020/status/1840860460200993260?t=ngwCT_UqF-epgJ-_iOk7aA&s=03" target="_blank">in voter registration, PA has seen Ds drop 352,000 since 2020.</a> And the R numbers <a href="https://x.com/Never4get1776/status/1840939831893041213" target="_blank">include over 103,000 new, first time voters</a>. In other bad news for Cackles, the <a href="https://www.oann.com/newsroom/firefighter-union-representing-300000-withholds-democrat-endorsement-second-time-since-1984/" target="_blank">Firefighters' union has withheld an endorsement </a>for only the second time since 1984. Meanwhile, <a href="https://x.com/_johnnymaga/status/1842650492159086625" target="_blank">President Trump held a massive "Eff You" rally at Butler PA in which over 100,000 showed up </a>and 18.2 MILLION streamed it. Elon Musk showed up with a "MAGA" cap. He re-started his speech, after embracing Lee Greenwood who sang "God Bless the USA," by saying, " . . .<a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/trump-butler-pa-rally-cmc/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank"> as I was saying </a>and turned his head to the <i><strong>exact same chart he was discussing when the murderer missed.</strong></i>. And the Cackles staffers are freaking out: <a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/report-harris-staffers-are-terrified-over-lack-of-interviews-swing-state-rallies-cmc/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank">"Trump is everywhere."</a> Oh, and based on GPS phone data, <a href="https://x.com/tonyseruga/status/1842667600167538849?s=46&t=oXM3QUNDayEotvdo1W-zQA" target="_blank">nearly 20,000 of the Butler, PA attendees were new.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) The so-called "rescue" efforts by FEMA (Federal Excrement Management Agency) are pathetic. Reports say they <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/america-last-after-spending-640-million-migrants-and-billions-abroad-fema-suddenly-broke?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=3174" target="_blank">spent their entire budget on illegal criminal aliens</a>, and now see Cackles doling out paltry $750 checks. This will badly harm DemoKKKrats, as I sense people are at the "fed up" moment. <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/fema-issues-warning-on-false-helene-rumors-launches-response-page-5735335?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2024-10-04-4&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2024-10-04-4&utm_medium=email&utm_term=digital&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">FEMA says, "no, no we have plenty of dough."</a> Yet at the same time this incredibly inept, stupid woman <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/10/06/kamala-harris-touts-157-million-for-civilians-in-lebanon-despite-just-750-for-hurricane-helene-victims/" target="_blank">actually tweeted out support of sending $157 million to Lebanon.</a> Is that why perhaps <a href="https://x.com/lauraloomer/status/1842776136901673077?s=46&t=oXM3QUNDayEotvdo1W-zQA" target="_blank">Saturday Night Live</a> is doing skits of her being a drunk?</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Folks, this is how you know you can trust me. I will tell you when I don't know what is really going on---but <i>something</i> is going on with all the stuff happening in New York with Gov. Hockaloogie's aides, Andrew Cu0mo being driven out in 2021, P. Diddley, who had two homes there, Eric the Red Adams being indicted, the NYPD cops indicted, now this: <a href="https://www.oann.com/newsroom/nyc-deputy-mayor-sheena-wright-latest-mayor-adams-official-to-step-down-amidst-federal-investigations/" target="_blank">the Deputy Mayor of New Kabul (NYC) has stepped down under rumors of investigations.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Even<a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/04/politics/walz-audits-fraud-accountability-invs/index.html" target="_blank"> CNN has turned on Tampon Timmy</a> and his Minny fraud operations.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) The <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/business/port-strike-ends-as-union-reaches-tentative-agreement-5734967?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2024-10-03-2&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2024-10-03-2&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">port strike ended quickly</a>. Some want to credit DeSoros for threatening to use the National Guard. I doubt this.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) An <a href="https://jeffreycarter.substack.com/p/total-and-utter-incompetence?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=462801&post_id=149763496&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">important column by Jeffrey Carter</a>. I have said for some times (as has Robert Barnes) that the current crop of DemoKKKrats, far from being the impervious demigods some Republicans think they are, are incompetent boobs. They totally screwed up getting rid of Rutabaga until it was too late because they placed all hope in lawfare; they allowed Rutabaga to make Cackles his veep; they ignored the working class, Hispanics, Jews, and blacks for illegal criminal aliens and Hamas murder pirates, and in general have run a crappy campaign. Carter shows this is <i>endemic</i> and is built into all their stupid fascist programs so that failure by FEMA, for example, was predictable.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Katrina was pure and simple incompetence.

      <description><![CDATA[<h1>TODAY'S NEWS, Weekend Review, Septmber 27-30</h1><h2>The News of Today is the History of Tomorrow</h2><p><br /> </p><h3>REMINDER: Seth Keshel, Ashe Epp, and I will be broadcasting live on election night from DecisionUSA2024. Join us for honest, fair, accurate, and usually fun coverage of the election returns. We need help (Decision Desk ain't cheap) If you can sponsor or donate, go here <a href="http://www.decisionusaonline.com/" target="_blank">www.decisionusaonline.com</a>. <br /> </h3><p><br /> </p><p> </p><p><br /> </p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) We continue to follow real data, not polls. The most intriguing thing happening right now is that blue counties in Virginia are seeing their<a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1839805439397015636?t=mwLvl8ZDEGrn2d8clu5D0w&s=03" target="_blank"> early vote numbers crash</a>, while the red counties continue to accelerate. For example, "strong Harris counties" are <i>down</i> 19% from week one, but strong Trump counties are <i>up</i> 23%. Likewise, "weak Trump counties" are up 20%, weak Harris counties are down 9%. This held up over the weekend with Trump supporters having a 2% advantage. It shows a significant "enthusiasm gap" with Republicans itching to turn out. The same thing is happening in <a href="https://x.com/WinWithJMC/status/1839702449801539724" target="_blank">Illinois, where the early voting is way down.</a> And Pennsylvania? Republicans there have already topped their previous high water mark of November 2020 when they had 39% the request volume of the Ds. Now? Already 42.4%. Again, DemoKKKrats will always win the early vote, but to be held down this much is a stunning achievement. Oh, and DemoKKKrats are 100,000 down from this time in 2020, besides the Rs being up. Meanwhile, CNN's data guru Harry Enten says <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/cnns-data-85998/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews/" target="_blank">younger voters are backing away from Cackles.</a> Then he goes on to note that <a href="https://x.com/_johnnymaga/status/1840739938389688680" target="_blank">Cackles is down TEN POINTS from Rutabaga </a>with union members (I bet it's a lot more). But this was a shocker: Michigan Senate Candidate Elissa Slotkin says <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1840491636977221814?t=2CCcHqB8XiKzOmlkIqFKvw&s=03" target="_blank">Cackles is "underwater" in MI.</a> Oh really? Does that mean R Mike Rogers is ahead?</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) New polling from <a href="https://x.com/IAPolls2022/status/1840183887458177530?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1840183887458177530%7Ctwgr%5E5062588035b521b8cdbcc3806dd369694fba387d%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fprotrumpnews.com%2Fpoll-trump-leads-in-multiple-swing-states%2F" target="_blank">Atlas,</a> the most accurate pollster in 2020, has Trump leading in every swing state except NC and NV and leading nationally by 3. It is simply impossible for Trump to win nationally by 3, win AZ, GA, PA, MI, WI, and still lose NC or NV. Meanwhile, Trafalgar has <a href="https://x.com/PpollingNumbers/status/1840537073448604087" target="_blank">President Trump up over 2 in Pennsylvania</a> and Atlas also has him over 2 there.. And <a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/new-top-democrat-senator-gets-brutal-campaign-update-as-trump-endorsed-opponent-surges-mace/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank">this is the third poll to show Bernie Moreno beating Sherrod Brown in OH</a> for the key US Senate seat there. This would be pickup <a href="https://www.wildworldofpolitics.com/blog/hashtags/3">#3</a> and would negate Susan "Tom" Collins and Lisa MurCowSki, and, along with J.D. Vance as a tie breaker, ensure genuine GOP control of the senate. Speaking of J.D., it appears <a href="https://x.com/joma_gc/status/1840399237919420800" target="_blank">Tampon Timmy is peeing his pants over debating Vance.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>3) This pretty much secures North Carolina for President Trump, as the <a href="https://x.com/DC_Draino/status/1839377159372349755?t=UFnmWDCHfr-jAjYU9UG5YQ&s=03" target="_blank">NC Elections Board has just removed 750,000 names from the rolls.</a> Most, I'm sure, are dead DemoKKKrat voters.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) As if things weren't going bad enough for the DemoKKKrats,<a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/just-in-appeals-court-appears-open-to-tossing-letitia-james-trump-case-after-brutal-hearing-mace/" target="_blank"> a panel of the New York Appeals Court seems on the verge of completely tossing Letitia James' civil fraud suit</a> against President Trump.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) The manhunt for Fat Fani Willis's lover, <a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/09/fanis-follies-update-manhunt-ends-lover-boy-nathan/" target="_blank">Nathan Wade, ended </a>as he suddenly reappeared and was served with his subpoena.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Hurricane Helen's <a href="https://www.oann.com/newsroom/hurricane-helene-death-toll-rises-to-over-50-billions-of-dollars-in-damages-caused/" target="_blank">death toll rose to 50</a> with billions of dollars in damages. Here is Seth Keshel's <a href="https://skeshel.substack.com/p/preliminary-electoral-impact-of-the?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=798984&post_id=149610100&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">analysis of politically how this might affect the election---roughly 50,000 net votes</a>, one way or the other. We have just over 40 days to give NC as full a recovery as possible and along the way make sure they have ballot access.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Many will cheer this but I'm not so sure.

It is one of the greatest stories of valor in history: about 10,000 Knights Hospitallers held off 100,000 invading Muslims from Sulieman the Magnificent. The reason it's bad news is that until about 2 years ago I held the rights to <i>the</i> best story on this, <i>Angels in Iron</i> by Nicholas Prata. I had written a screenplay from the book called "Malta." The article does not mention if Gibson is using this book or another. (Cyrus Nowrasteh who did "The Road to 9/11" for ABC also had a Malta script.)</p><p><br /> </p><p>34) Legendary songwriter, actor <a href="https://x.com/Breaking911/status/1840517650335904051" target="_blank">Kris Kristofferson dead at age 88</a> So, I actually was in a movie with Kristofferson. A friend and I attended the "Star is Born" concert as part of the audience, but because we wanted to see the bands better we went to the stadium seats outside the camera angle.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>TODAY'S NEWS, Weekend Review, Septmber 27-30</h1><h2>The News of Today is the History of Tomorrow</h2><p><br /> </p><h3>REMINDER: Seth Keshel, Ashe Epp, and I will be broadcasting live on election night from DecisionUSA2024. Join us for honest, fair, accurate, and usually fun coverage of the election returns. We need help (Decision Desk ain't cheap) If you can sponsor or donate, go here <a href="http://www.decisionusaonline.com/" target="_blank">www.decisionusaonline.com</a>. <br /> </h3><p><br /> </p><p> </p><p><br /> </p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) We continue to follow real data, not polls. The most intriguing thing happening right now is that blue counties in Virginia are seeing their<a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1839805439397015636?t=mwLvl8ZDEGrn2d8clu5D0w&s=03" target="_blank"> early vote numbers crash</a>, while the red counties continue to accelerate. For example, "strong Harris counties" are <i>down</i> 19% from week one, but strong Trump counties are <i>up</i> 23%. Likewise, "weak Trump counties" are up 20%, weak Harris counties are down 9%. This held up over the weekend with Trump supporters having a 2% advantage. It shows a significant "enthusiasm gap" with Republicans itching to turn out. The same thing is happening in <a href="https://x.com/WinWithJMC/status/1839702449801539724" target="_blank">Illinois, where the early voting is way down.</a> And Pennsylvania? Republicans there have already topped their previous high water mark of November 2020 when they had 39% the request volume of the Ds. Now? Already 42.4%. Again, DemoKKKrats will always win the early vote, but to be held down this much is a stunning achievement. Oh, and DemoKKKrats are 100,000 down from this time in 2020, besides the Rs being up. Meanwhile, CNN's data guru Harry Enten says <a href="https://conservativebrief.com/cnns-data-85998/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews/" target="_blank">younger voters are backing away from Cackles.</a> Then he goes on to note that <a href="https://x.com/_johnnymaga/status/1840739938389688680" target="_blank">Cackles is down TEN POINTS from Rutabaga </a>with union members (I bet it's a lot more). But this was a shocker: Michigan Senate Candidate Elissa Slotkin says <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1840491636977221814?t=2CCcHqB8XiKzOmlkIqFKvw&s=03" target="_blank">Cackles is "underwater" in MI.</a> Oh really? Does that mean R Mike Rogers is ahead?</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) New polling from <a href="https://x.com/IAPolls2022/status/1840183887458177530?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1840183887458177530%7Ctwgr%5E5062588035b521b8cdbcc3806dd369694fba387d%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fprotrumpnews.com%2Fpoll-trump-leads-in-multiple-swing-states%2F" target="_blank">Atlas,</a> the most accurate pollster in 2020, has Trump leading in every swing state except NC and NV and leading nationally by 3. It is simply impossible for Trump to win nationally by 3, win AZ, GA, PA, MI, WI, and still lose NC or NV. Meanwhile, Trafalgar has <a href="https://x.com/PpollingNumbers/status/1840537073448604087" target="_blank">President Trump up over 2 in Pennsylvania</a> and Atlas also has him over 2 there.. And <a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/new-top-democrat-senator-gets-brutal-campaign-update-as-trump-endorsed-opponent-surges-mace/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank">this is the third poll to show Bernie Moreno beating Sherrod Brown in OH</a> for the key US Senate seat there. This would be pickup <a href="https://www.wildworldofpolitics.com/blog/hashtags/3">#3</a> and would negate Susan "Tom" Collins and Lisa MurCowSki, and, along with J.D. Vance as a tie breaker, ensure genuine GOP control of the senate. Speaking of J.D., it appears <a href="https://x.com/joma_gc/status/1840399237919420800" target="_blank">Tampon Timmy is peeing his pants over debating Vance.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>3) This pretty much secures North Carolina for President Trump, as the <a href="https://x.com/DC_Draino/status/1839377159372349755?t=UFnmWDCHfr-jAjYU9UG5YQ&s=03" target="_blank">NC Elections Board has just removed 750,000 names from the rolls.</a> Most, I'm sure, are dead DemoKKKrat voters.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) As if things weren't going bad enough for the DemoKKKrats,<a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/just-in-appeals-court-appears-open-to-tossing-letitia-james-trump-case-after-brutal-hearing-mace/" target="_blank"> a panel of the New York Appeals Court seems on the verge of completely tossing Letitia James' civil fraud suit</a> against President Trump.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) The manhunt for Fat Fani Willis's lover, <a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/09/fanis-follies-update-manhunt-ends-lover-boy-nathan/" target="_blank">Nathan Wade, ended </a>as he suddenly reappeared and was served with his subpoena.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Hurricane Helen's <a href="https://www.oann.com/newsroom/hurricane-helene-death-toll-rises-to-over-50-billions-of-dollars-in-damages-caused/" target="_blank">death toll rose to 50</a> with billions of dollars in damages. Here is Seth Keshel's <a href="https://skeshel.substack.com/p/preliminary-electoral-impact-of-the?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=798984&post_id=149610100&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">analysis of politically how this might affect the election---roughly 50,000 net votes</a>, one way or the other. We have just over 40 days to give NC as full a recovery as possible and along the way make sure they have ballot access.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Many will cheer this but I'm not so sure. An <a href="https://x.com/BehizyTweets/status/1839850005621788860?t=gS-nEgPub6czf3hZePDW3Q&s=03" target="_blank">Arizona judge just ruled that can NOT certify the results of the 2024 election if any counties withhold certification due to fraud </a>For example, I could see President Trump winning and D-heavy PIMA refusing to certify due to "fraud."</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) New revelations from the House Patriot Day (J6) committee show that <a href="https://justthenews.com/accountability/watchdogs/bombshell-transcripts-trump-urged-use-troops-protect-capitol-jan-6-was" target="_blank">President Trump pushed for National Guard and other security</a> on January 6, 2021 but was rebuffed.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) There was a <a href="https://www2.ca3.uscourts.gov/opinarch/241420p.pdf" target="_blank">big win vs. the Deep State </a>in a decision involving fishermen having to deal with an unelected regulatory body.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) This guy actually tracks <a href="https://x.com/TonySeruga/status/1840741859640934462" target="_blank">cell phone data from the Cackles rallies</a>.

      <title>TODAY&apos;S NEWS in REVIEW, September 22-26, 2024</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) This has not been a good polling week for Cackles, despite a few superficially "good" polls for her. Whether they are ties or one-point leads in some battleground states, the reality is that <strong>not only</strong> are pollsters DemoKKKrat heavy (because virtually no one has taken new voter registration shifts into account) but they are significantly <strong>undercounting and underweighting</strong> whites. Their white shares are simply too low, said pollster Richard Baris. In Pennsylvania, DemoKKKrats are <a href="https://x.com/ScottPresler/status/1838979995068158016" target="_blank">down 300,000 registered voters from 2020; </a>In the process, the vote=registering machine for the Republicans, Scot Presler, has led the charge in flipping to red four PA counties: Berks, Bucks, Beaver, and Luzerne. Not surprisingly then, the early ballot requests from DemoKKKrats are also down 300,000. That my friends, should be the ball game for PA. And according to <a href="https://protrumpnews.com/gallup-election-environment-favorable-to-gop/" target="_blank">Gallup's latest national poll </a>of voter identification, <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1838955723331404245" target="_blank">Trump should win the popular vote by 2.5 points.</a> Further evidence of this is that DemoKKKrats are now openly expressing their view that<a href="https://conservativebrief.com/democrats-believe-85929/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank"> Trump is underpolling.</a> As DemoKKKrat pollster Celinda Lake said, What accentuates my concern is when you poll people who have not voted in ’20 but are planning to vote today, they are disproportionately Trump voters.”</p><p><br /> </p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Quinnipiac, normally a very left- leaning pollster, now has President Trump +1 nationally, which would translate into at least 312 electoral votes, with Trump winning PA, MI, and WI as well as AZ, GA, and NC. And what has to be just chilling for DemoKKKrats is that<a href="https://x.com/onpointpolitics/status/1838976883653828973" target="_blank"> early vote analysis by Baris shows Trump winning Clark Co., NV</a>, which would put NV in Trump's column as well. Both Trump and Cackles agreed to separate town halls with <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/harris-trump-agree-to-separate-town-halls-hosted-by-univision-5729646?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">Univision, </a>which in Trump's case is a clear move to gain even more support from Hispanics in New Mexico and Nevada.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) In VA, the same dynamic is at work. Whereas normally DemoKKKrats run up the numbers with the early vote,<a href="https://x.com/MadAboutSkin01/status/1838648558632784175?t=eLJ2kVEe1l_q1X70keQe7A&s=03" target="_blank"> it's not happening this time</a>. As always they lead in the early vote in Virginia, but the numbers in the blue counties trail those of the red counties by a lot:</p><p><br /> </p><p>Virginia Early Voting Summary To Date (comparison to 2020)</p><p><br /> </p><p>Strong Trump Counties +63%</p><p><br /> </p><p>Weak Trump Counties +58%</p><p><br /> </p><p>Competitive Counties  +36%</p><p><br /> </p><p>Weak Harris Counties +23%</p><p><br /> </p><p>Strong Harris Counties +26%</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Then we have this <a href="https://x.com/davidchapman141/status/1838959769802907792" target="_blank">poll of Notre Dame students</a>. No, they are not a "cross section" of America. They gave Rutabaga over 60% support in 2020. Yet in yesterday's poll, President Trump leads. This comes on the widespread survey of Teamsters, whose support for President Trump was off the charts. Oh, and those Hispanics who have been trending R? The latest <a href="https://www.econotimes.com/Obvious-Frontrunner-Donald-Trump-Leads-Hispanic-Voters-52-44-in-Latest-Quinnipiac-Poll-Sparking-Debate-Ahead-of-2024-Election-1688386" target="_blank">Quinnipiac poll has Trump winning Hispanics nationally 52-48%.</a> Whoop! Dere it is! (This was confirmed by the <a href="https://x.com/CitizenFreePres/status/1839007689961041962" target="_blank"><i>New York Slimes</i> poll that had Cackles fall 11 points</a> among Hispanics in AZ).</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Here <a href="https://x.com/CitizenFreePres/status/1839006148386783248" target="_blank">race car driver Danica Patrick campaigns for President Trump.</a> I'm sure the leftists will counter with a WNBA player who is a man posing as a woman campaigning for Cackles.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) He's got a point, right? Jailed <a href="https://radaronline.com/p/jailed-diddy-starving-himself-paranoid-poison/" target="_blank">P. Diddley is so concerned his "enemies" are gonna kill him he isn't eating.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>7) The government hoax involving the Patriot Day (J6) "pipebombs" is unraveling. Now the<a href="https://revolver.news/2024/09/breaking-government-source-confirms-fbi-dirty-tricks-with-key-jan-6-pipe-bomb-footage-cover-up-unravels/" target="_blank"> FascistBI conveniently "lost" the video footage.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>8) The new <a href="https://nationalsecurityjournal.org/the-b-21-raider-stealth-bomber-looks-like-an-expensive-success/" target="_blank">USAF B-21 stealth bomber is an "expensive" success</a>. I have worked on the U.S. Navy's <i>Ohio</i> class submarine program, writing the history of that program (, with Doug Dalgleish, 1984) and have written the official history of the USAF X-30 research program, the National Aero-Space Plane. Every single new "next-step" program has troubles, and usually goes over cost estimates. And most that I've seen end up being the best in the world. (The X-30 was canceled but, after all, it was a RESEARCH program and they got the materials, fuel, and computational fluid dynamics to work as promised)</p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_3fcacc39a05641709795b57ad917ab2d~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_364,h_469,al_c,lg_1,q_80,enc_auto/221b12_3fcacc39a05641709795b57ad917ab2d~mv2.jpg" alt="" /><p>9) President Trump was told in a briefing that<a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-trump-announces-there-have-been-other-attempts-made-on-his-life-after-new-intel-briefing" target="_blank"> Iran has made other attempts on his life.</a> He was also informed that the <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/trump-forced-to-cancel-wisconsin-rally-after-secret-service-says-it-did-not-have-sufficient-assets-to-secure-event-whistleblower" target="_blank">Secret Service did not have sufficient assets to protect him at a Wisconsin rally</a>. While this has the earmarks of truth, I do not trust the "intelligence community" to give him honest briefings, and they could be using this to dissuade him from holding rallies.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) Something is going on within the left. I still don't know what it is. A New York Grand Jury has <a href="https://x.com/BehizyTweets/status/1839110927192359398" target="_blank">now indicted Eric the Red Adams of New Kabul (NYC)</a>. But this appears part of a bigger and longer "Night of the Long Knives." Let's review:</p><p>*In 2021 Governor Andrew Cuomo was forced out. (There was speculation he attempted witness tampering with someone in the China Virus investigations)</p><p>*On September 3, the former aide to both Cuomo (Nipplepin Venthoarder) and current governor Kathy Hochul (Hock-a-Loogie) was indicted. for being a ChiCom agent.</p><p>*On September 18, Sean P. Diddley Combs, who has recently lived in New York City and Scarsdale.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) This has not been a good polling week for Cackles, despite a few superficially "good" polls for her. Whether they are ties or one-point leads in some battleground states, the reality is that <strong>not only</strong> are pollsters DemoKKKrat heavy (because virtually no one has taken new voter registration shifts into account) but they are significantly <strong>undercounting and underweighting</strong> whites. Their white shares are simply too low, said pollster Richard Baris. In Pennsylvania, DemoKKKrats are <a href="https://x.com/ScottPresler/status/1838979995068158016" target="_blank">down 300,000 registered voters from 2020; </a>In the process, the vote=registering machine for the Republicans, Scot Presler, has led the charge in flipping to red four PA counties: Berks, Bucks, Beaver, and Luzerne. Not surprisingly then, the early ballot requests from DemoKKKrats are also down 300,000. That my friends, should be the ball game for PA. And according to <a href="https://protrumpnews.com/gallup-election-environment-favorable-to-gop/" target="_blank">Gallup's latest national poll </a>of voter identification, <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1838955723331404245" target="_blank">Trump should win the popular vote by 2.5 points.</a> Further evidence of this is that DemoKKKrats are now openly expressing their view that<a href="https://conservativebrief.com/democrats-believe-85929/?utm_source=CB&utm_medium=ProTrumpNews" target="_blank"> Trump is underpolling.</a> As DemoKKKrat pollster Celinda Lake said, What accentuates my concern is when you poll people who have not voted in ’20 but are planning to vote today, they are disproportionately Trump voters.”</p><p><br /> </p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Quinnipiac, normally a very left- leaning pollster, now has President Trump +1 nationally, which would translate into at least 312 electoral votes, with Trump winning PA, MI, and WI as well as AZ, GA, and NC. And what has to be just chilling for DemoKKKrats is that<a href="https://x.com/onpointpolitics/status/1838976883653828973" target="_blank"> early vote analysis by Baris shows Trump winning Clark Co., NV</a>, which would put NV in Trump's column as well. Both Trump and Cackles agreed to separate town halls with <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/harris-trump-agree-to-separate-town-halls-hosted-by-univision-5729646?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=gp&src_src=partner&src_cmp=gp" target="_blank">Univision, </a>which in Trump's case is a clear move to gain even more support from Hispanics in New Mexico and Nevada.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) In VA, the same dynamic is at work. Whereas normally DemoKKKrats run up the numbers with the early vote,<a href="https://x.com/MadAboutSkin01/status/1838648558632784175?t=eLJ2kVEe1l_q1X70keQe7A&s=03" target="_blank"> it's not happening this time</a>. As always they lead in the early vote in Virginia, but the numbers in the blue counties trail those of the red counties by a lot:</p><p><br /> </p><p>Virginia Early Voting Summary To Date (comparison to 2020)</p><p><br /> </p><p>Strong Trump Counties +63%</p><p><br /> </p><p>Weak Trump Counties +58%</p><p><br /> </p><p>Competitive Counties  +36%</p><p><br /> </p><p>Weak Harris Counties +23%</p><p><br /> </p><p>Strong Harris Counties +26%</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Then we have this <a href="https://x.com/davidchapman141/status/1838959769802907792" target="_blank">poll of Notre Dame students</a>. No, they are not a "cross section" of America. They gave Rutabaga over 60% support in 2020. Yet in yesterday's poll, President Trump leads. This comes on the widespread survey of Teamsters, whose support for President Trump was off the charts. Oh, and those Hispanics who have been trending R? The latest <a href="https://www.econotimes.com/Obvious-Frontrunner-Donald-Trump-Leads-Hispanic-Voters-52-44-in-Latest-Quinnipiac-Poll-Sparking-Debate-Ahead-of-2024-Election-1688386" target="_blank">Quinnipiac poll has Trump winning Hispanics nationally 52-48%.</a> Whoop! Dere it is! (This was confirmed by the <a href="https://x.com/CitizenFreePres/status/1839007689961041962" target="_blank"><i>New York Slimes</i> poll that had Cackles fall 11 points</a> among Hispanics in AZ).</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Here <a href="https://x.com/CitizenFreePres/status/1839006148386783248" target="_blank">race car driver Danica Patrick campaigns for President Trump.</a> I'm sure the leftists will counter with a WNBA player who is a man posing as a woman campaigning for Cackles.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) He's got a point, right? Jailed <a href="https://radaronline.com/p/jailed-diddy-starving-himself-paranoid-poison/" target="_blank">P. Diddley is so concerned his "enemies" are gonna kill him he isn't eating.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>7) The government hoax involving the Patriot Day (J6) "pipebombs" is unraveling. Now the<a href="https://revolver.news/2024/09/breaking-government-source-confirms-fbi-dirty-tricks-with-key-jan-6-pipe-bomb-footage-cover-up-unravels/" target="_blank"> FascistBI conveniently "lost" the video footage.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>8) The new <a href="https://nationalsecurityjournal.org/the-b-21-raider-stealth-bomber-looks-like-an-expensive-success/" target="_blank">USAF B-21 stealth bomber is an "expensive" success</a>. I have worked on the U.S. Navy's <i>Ohio</i> class submarine program, writing the history of that program (, with Doug Dalgleish, 1984) and have written the official history of the USAF X-30 research program, the National Aero-Space Plane. Every single new "next-step" program has troubles, and usually goes over cost estimates. And most that I've seen end up being the best in the world. (The X-30 was canceled but, after all, it was a RESEARCH program and they got the materials, fuel, and computational fluid dynamics to work as promised)</p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_3fcacc39a05641709795b57ad917ab2d~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_364,h_469,al_c,lg_1,q_80,enc_auto/221b12_3fcacc39a05641709795b57ad917ab2d~mv2.jpg" alt="" /><p>9) President Trump was told in a briefing that<a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-trump-announces-there-have-been-other-attempts-made-on-his-life-after-new-intel-briefing" target="_blank"> Iran has made other attempts on his life.</a> He was also informed that the <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/trump-forced-to-cancel-wisconsin-rally-after-secret-service-says-it-did-not-have-sufficient-assets-to-secure-event-whistleblower" target="_blank">Secret Service did not have sufficient assets to protect him at a Wisconsin rally</a>. While this has the earmarks of truth, I do not trust the "intelligence community" to give him honest briefings, and they could be using this to dissuade him from holding rallies.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) Something is going on within the left. I still don't know what it is. A New York Grand Jury has <a href="https://x.com/BehizyTweets/status/1839110927192359398" target="_blank">now indicted Eric the Red Adams of New Kabul (NYC)</a>. But this appears part of a bigger and longer "Night of the Long Knives." Let's review:</p><p>*In 2021 Governor Andrew Cuomo was forced out. (There was speculation he attempted witness tampering with someone in the China Virus investigations)</p><p>*On September 3, the former aide to both Cuomo (Nipplepin Venthoarder) and current governor Kathy Hochul (Hock-a-Loogie) was indicted. for being a ChiCom agent.</p><p>*On September 18, Sean P. Diddley Combs, who has recently lived in New York City and Scarsdale. His Los Angeles house was raided on March 25, and he was arrested last week.</p><p>*On September 25, Mayor Eric The Red Adams's top fund raiser and director of Asian affairs were both named in a sealed indictment.</p><p>*Now, Eric the Red Adams himself was indicted as well.</p><p>Finally <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/09/25/us-news/voters-in-ny-house-swing-districts-sour-on-gov-kathy-hochul-new-polls/" target="_blank">this story:</a> "Voters in NY Swing Districts Sour on Hochul."

      <description><![CDATA[<p>REMINDER: Along with Seth Keshel and Ashe Epp, I will be going live election night coverage---honest, accurate, humorous, with great guests. Join us at DecisionUSA2024 and check out the web site for how you can help: <a href="http://www.decisionusaonline.com/" target="_blank">www.decisionusaonline.com</a></p><p><br /> </p><p><br /> </p><p> </p><p><br /> </p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) More polls, more nonsense but keep your eye on the ball. In Pennsylvania, a group called <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/09/21/exclusive-cliff-maloney-democrats-hemorrhaging-pennsylvania-donald-trump-can-win/" target="_blank">"Pennsylvania Chase" has been beating the pants off the non-Transoid DemoKKKrats</a> by shifting 250,000 early ballots in the R direction (combo D shortfall, R gains). In 2020, Rutabaga had 2 million early ballots to President Trump's 600,000 to "win" by 80,000. With a 250,000 flip, the Keystone State is looking good. The head of Pennsylvania Chase said DemoKKKrats are "“hemorrhaging in the city," and predicts they will be down a good 150,000 votes compared to 2020 even if some show up on election day. (Reminder: Ds this time will not automatically be voting for Cackles). Virginia started early voting this weekend and so far the <a href="https://x.com/Freespeech212/status/1837930806657822917" target="_blank">vote totals in the four red districts</a> are exceeding those of DemoKKKrat districts and almost even with DemoKKKrat and swing districts put together. In other words, heavy, heavy turnout in Republican areas. Fairfax turned out, but not at the same rates as the red counties. Republicans in VA <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1837963614986064277" target="_blank">now have a <i>19 point</i> enthusiasm advantage.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Oh, yeah, if you like polls, try this one: <a href="https://x.com/ElectionTime_/status/1837493375727292874" target="_blank">VA is now tied</a>. There is no universe even in the Star Wars galaxy where VA is tied and Trump is losing AZ, GA, NC, PA, MI, or WI. And this brutal <a href="https://x.com/IAPolls2022/status/1838176980316950642?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1838176980316950642%7Ctwgr%5Eaa8dc5ad0eb7f8d50ebc77c8d0ac9eea798971e2%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Ftrendingpoliticsnews.com%2Fjust-in-top-rated-poll-gives-kamala-devastating-campaign-news-in-key-states-mstef%2F" target="_blank"><i>NYTimes</i> poll </a>has Trump winning NC, AZ, and GA, shutting off completely the "alternative path" for Cackles when she loses PA.</p><p>Meanwhile, when any news org goes out and actually interviews people in "focus groups," they don't like the answers they get. For example, <a href="https://x.com/CollinRugg/status/1837162397204623764?t=K2_2ILbm9oIPmL6eRT8OFg&s=03" target="_blank">this group of Georgia blacks</a> thinks things were better under President Trump.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) With technology today, you can run, but you can't hide. Cackles, unlike Rutabaga, is trying to fake Trump-like rallies. Of course, no one will voluntarily go to her rallies. So she has resorted to bussing people from one venue to another: astroturf crowds. The proof is here. Brilliant people, <a href="https://x.com/TonySeruga/status/1837356073768165497" target="_blank">using cell phone data, have identified WHO (by area code) goes to these rallies</a>. In her Madison, WI "rally," where over 9,300 devices were detected, fewer than 85 were from WI; five times as many were "staff"; 30% were from either Atlanta or Savannah (in WI!), and 89% had been to three or more rallies. This is total business of astroturf professional crowds.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) This is big. A <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1837865237153780082?t=QZ89WjWO2AdewcO6TKWSyQ&s=03" target="_blank">poll now has Bernie Moreno up in Ohio</a>, where President Trump will crush Cackles and ensure his margin of victory. This would be the 52nd vote (plus Vance as a tie-breaker). One more Trumpy senator---Kari Lake, even Dave McCormick---and we have immunization from Susan "Tom" Collins and MurCowSki.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) President <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1837082871141466593?t=K3wJ5izrUiRXR_qX5cQS2A&s=03" target="_blank">Trump has a higher favorability in New York</a> than the state's DemoKKKrat Governor, Kathy Hock-a-lugie.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Nebraska, at the urging of (gag) Linda Grahamnesty, is<a href="https://www.thebulwark.com/p/harris-trouble-nebraska-maine-electoral-college" target="_blank"> apparently ready to change its allocation of a single electoral vote </a>in Trump's favor, while Maine, which had vowed to offset that move, won't have enough time to do so. Stay tuned on this development which, in a close race (which it won't be) could be important.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) You can pay attention to polls but these are the real numbers that matter. In <a href="https://legacy.recorder.maricopa.gov/Elections/VoterRegistration/redirect_new.aspx?view=congressional" target="_blank">Arizona's Maricopa County</a>, the largest by far in the state with over 4 million people), Republicans have mounted a lead over DemoKKKrats of 163,861. The entire statewide R lead was only 130,000 in 2020 when Rutabaga stole it with 11,000 phony ballots. (BTW, with the exception of one significant blue county, Pima, almost all of Arizona's other 12 counties are deep red, and even Pima has seen Ds lose ground in voter registration, down from over 11 in 2020 to D+9 today. Cackles will not be getting Arizona. Meanwhile early vote turnout in Virginia is off the charts. Turnout in blue areas is strong, but turnout in red counties is off the charts---<a href="https://x.com/MadAboutSkin01/status/1837229737842020654" target="_blank">most surpassed their 2020 levels on DAY ONE.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>8) <a href="https://pjnewsletter.com/teachers-blue-state-illegals/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=actengage" target="_blank">Rutabaga held a cabinet meeting, the first one in 11 months,</a> and was so stupid, frail, and out of it he immediately handed it over, unconstitutionally, to the Senior Skank.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) The <a href="https://www.oann.com/newsroom/house-unanimously-passes-bill-to-increase-trumps-security-after-second-assassination-attempt/" target="_blank">House unanimously passed a bill to increase President Trump's security. </a>We'll see if the sanctimonious Senate follows.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) Doubtful that the Hoax News media will mention this but <a href="https://alphanews.org/exclusive-walzs-former-national-guard-colleague-alleges-classified-nuclear-manual-went-missing-in-nebraska-during-his-tenure/" target="_blank">a National Guard colleague says that a nuke manual went missing</a> when Tampon Timmy was in the Guard in Nebraska and officially in charge. The dates line up. Speaking of lying Tampon Timmy, he said Ronald Reagan was the last union member to be on a national ticket. Nope.<a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/09/21/fact-check-tim-walz-claims-reagan-was-last-union-member-to-be-on-a-national-ticket/" target="_blank"> Donald Trump is a SAG member,</a> just like Reagan. In fact, NO DemoKKKrat president have ever been in a union that I can recall.</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) Again, no one knows exactly what is going on in New York, but now the <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/09/22/us/nypd-police-commissioner-thomas-donlon-new-york/index.html" target="_blank">feds have served a search warrant on the interim police commissioner a week after he was appointed.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>12) The Arab-American mayor of Hamtramck, Michigan, said he had a very productive meeting with President Trump and <a href="https://x.com/nicksortor/status/1837974327536636223?t=bOGjriSFpcS3kxQBccHCyw&s=03" target="_blank">endorsed him.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>13) Rutabaga is a major embarrassment, above and beyond his pure evil. <a href="https://www.oann.com/newsroom/biden-forgets-which-world-leader-he-is-supposed-to-introduce-says-whos-next/" target="_blank">He forgot which world leader he was to introduce and asked, "Who's next?"</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>14) Absolutely expected: <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/schumer-good-chance-avoid-government-shutdown-johnson-rcna172148" target="_blank">Speaker of the House Mikey Johnson caved and passed a continuing resolution without the SAVE act.</a> No one in D.C. today apparently has the gonads to shut down this grotesquely bloated, dysfunctional, indebted government.</p><p><br /> </p><p>15) It looks like the Deep State, always deathly afraid of a black conservative (see what they did to Herschel Walker) has successfully <a href="https://x.com/NewsWire_US/status/1837965923183218693" target="_blank">torpedoed Mark Robinson's governor campaign in NC</a> with smears. His entire senior leadership all resigned.</p><p><br /> </p><p>16) The (alleged) Trump would be assassin, Ryan "Baby" Routh <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/shows/blaze-news-tonight/ryan-routh" target="_blank">was arrested 74 times before . . . and incarcerated none.</a> He <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-suspect-ryan-routh-allegedly-left-note-this-was-an-assassination-attempt-5728525?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2024-09-23-1&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2024-09-23-1&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">left a note</a> which left no doubt, saying "This was an assassination attempt." Yeah, duh, Baby.</p><p><br /> </p><p>17) Antioch, Kollyfornia, where home prices are double the national average <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13808505/wealthy-california-city-indoor-drug-dens.html" target="_blank">is overrun with indoor drug dens.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>18) The San Diego border chief has accused Rutabaga of <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/cover-ex-border-patrol-chief-says-he-was-instructed-biden-harris-admin-hide-terrorist?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=3127" target="_blank">covering up increased encounters with terrorists.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>19) <a href="https://pjnewsletter.com/teachers-blue-state-illegals/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=actengage" target="_blank">Teachers in Benghazi-by-the-Lake (Chicago) were told to give illegal criminal alien kids passing grades no matter what. </a>The teachers are every one as corrupt and guilty as Rutabaga and Cackles.</p><p><br /> </p><p>20) Now we're getting somewhere. <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/09/22/us-news/chicago-gangbangers-face-off-against-venezuelans/" target="_blank">Gangbangers from Benghazi-by-the-Lake (Chicago) are raging against the illegal criminal aliens from Venezuela.</a> "The city is going up in flames."

It's one of the few recent movies I've seen where I didn't say, "Good, but it was too long." The cinematic tricks were clever, the dialogue snappy, the chemistry good (though not great), and of course the stunts were superb. Gosling is a great comedic actor, as seen in "Nice Guys." Strongly recommended.</p><p><br /> </p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/221b12_d1e0e6051165456396a4fbf4df690ba1~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_90,enc_auto/221b12_d1e0e6051165456396a4fbf4df690ba1~mv2.png" alt="" /><p>Larry Schweikart</p><p><br /> </p><p>Rock drummer, Film maker,NYTimes <a href="https://www.wildworldofpolitics.com/blog/hashtags/1">#1</a> bestselling author</p><p><br /> </p><p>Link for Patriot’s History Vimeo</p><p><br /> </p><p>https://vimeo.com/40949423</p><p><br /> </p><p>Link to buy larry a coffee</p><p><br /> </p><p><a href="http://buymeacoffee.com/larrys" target="_blank">http://buymeacoffee.com/larrys</a></p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>REMINDER: Along with Seth Keshel and Ashe Epp, I will be going live election night coverage---honest, accurate, humorous, with great guests. Join us at DecisionUSA2024 and check out the web site for how you can help: <a href="http://www.decisionusaonline.com/" target="_blank">www.decisionusaonline.com</a></p><p><br /> </p><p><br /> </p><p> </p><p><br /> </p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>1) More polls, more nonsense but keep your eye on the ball. In Pennsylvania, a group called <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/09/21/exclusive-cliff-maloney-democrats-hemorrhaging-pennsylvania-donald-trump-can-win/" target="_blank">"Pennsylvania Chase" has been beating the pants off the non-Transoid DemoKKKrats</a> by shifting 250,000 early ballots in the R direction (combo D shortfall, R gains). In 2020, Rutabaga had 2 million early ballots to President Trump's 600,000 to "win" by 80,000. With a 250,000 flip, the Keystone State is looking good. The head of Pennsylvania Chase said DemoKKKrats are "“hemorrhaging in the city," and predicts they will be down a good 150,000 votes compared to 2020 even if some show up on election day. (Reminder: Ds this time will not automatically be voting for Cackles). Virginia started early voting this weekend and so far the <a href="https://x.com/Freespeech212/status/1837930806657822917" target="_blank">vote totals in the four red districts</a> are exceeding those of DemoKKKrat districts and almost even with DemoKKKrat and swing districts put together. In other words, heavy, heavy turnout in Republican areas. Fairfax turned out, but not at the same rates as the red counties. Republicans in VA <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1837963614986064277" target="_blank">now have a <i>19 point</i> enthusiasm advantage.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Oh, yeah, if you like polls, try this one: <a href="https://x.com/ElectionTime_/status/1837493375727292874" target="_blank">VA is now tied</a>. There is no universe even in the Star Wars galaxy where VA is tied and Trump is losing AZ, GA, NC, PA, MI, or WI. And this brutal <a href="https://x.com/IAPolls2022/status/1838176980316950642?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1838176980316950642%7Ctwgr%5Eaa8dc5ad0eb7f8d50ebc77c8d0ac9eea798971e2%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Ftrendingpoliticsnews.com%2Fjust-in-top-rated-poll-gives-kamala-devastating-campaign-news-in-key-states-mstef%2F" target="_blank"><i>NYTimes</i> poll </a>has Trump winning NC, AZ, and GA, shutting off completely the "alternative path" for Cackles when she loses PA.</p><p>Meanwhile, when any news org goes out and actually interviews people in "focus groups," they don't like the answers they get. For example, <a href="https://x.com/CollinRugg/status/1837162397204623764?t=K2_2ILbm9oIPmL6eRT8OFg&s=03" target="_blank">this group of Georgia blacks</a> thinks things were better under President Trump.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) With technology today, you can run, but you can't hide. Cackles, unlike Rutabaga, is trying to fake Trump-like rallies. Of course, no one will voluntarily go to her rallies. So she has resorted to bussing people from one venue to another: astroturf crowds. The proof is here. Brilliant people, <a href="https://x.com/TonySeruga/status/1837356073768165497" target="_blank">using cell phone data, have identified WHO (by area code) goes to these rallies</a>. In her Madison, WI "rally," where over 9,300 devices were detected, fewer than 85 were from WI; five times as many were "staff"; 30% were from either Atlanta or Savannah (in WI!), and 89% had been to three or more rallies. This is total business of astroturf professional crowds.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) This is big. A <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1837865237153780082?t=QZ89WjWO2AdewcO6TKWSyQ&s=03" target="_blank">poll now has Bernie Moreno up in Ohio</a>, where President Trump will crush Cackles and ensure his margin of victory. This would be the 52nd vote (plus Vance as a tie-breaker). One more Trumpy senator---Kari Lake, even Dave McCormick---and we have immunization from Susan "Tom" Collins and MurCowSki.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) President <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1837082871141466593?t=K3wJ5izrUiRXR_qX5cQS2A&s=03" target="_blank">Trump has a higher favorability in New York</a> than the state's DemoKKKrat Governor, Kathy Hock-a-lugie.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) Nebraska, at the urging of (gag) Linda Grahamnesty, is<a href="https://www.thebulwark.com/p/harris-trouble-nebraska-maine-electoral-college" target="_blank"> apparently ready to change its allocation of a single electoral vote </a>in Trump's favor, while Maine, which had vowed to offset that move, won't have enough time to do so. Stay tuned on this development which, in a close race (which it won't be) could be important.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) You can pay attention to polls but these are the real numbers that matter. In <a href="https://legacy.recorder.maricopa.gov/Elections/VoterRegistration/redirect_new.aspx?view=congressional" target="_blank">Arizona's Maricopa County</a>, the largest by far in the state with over 4 million people), Republicans have mounted a lead over DemoKKKrats of 163,861. The entire statewide R lead was only 130,000 in 2020 when Rutabaga stole it with 11,000 phony ballots. (BTW, with the exception of one significant blue county, Pima, almost all of Arizona's other 12 counties are deep red, and even Pima has seen Ds lose ground in voter registration, down from over 11 in 2020 to D+9 today. Cackles will not be getting Arizona. Meanwhile early vote turnout in Virginia is off the charts. Turnout in blue areas is strong, but turnout in red counties is off the charts---<a href="https://x.com/MadAboutSkin01/status/1837229737842020654" target="_blank">most surpassed their 2020 levels on DAY ONE.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>8) <a href="https://pjnewsletter.com/teachers-blue-state-illegals/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=actengage" target="_blank">Rutabaga held a cabinet meeting, the first one in 11 months,</a> and was so stupid, frail, and out of it he immediately handed it over, unconstitutionally, to the Senior Skank.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) The <a href="https://www.oann.com/newsroom/house-unanimously-passes-bill-to-increase-trumps-security-after-second-assassination-attempt/" target="_blank">House unanimously passed a bill to increase President Trump's security. </a>We'll see if the sanctimonious Senate follows.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) Doubtful that the Hoax News media will mention this but <a href="https://alphanews.org/exclusive-walzs-former-national-guard-colleague-alleges-classified-nuclear-manual-went-missing-in-nebraska-during-his-tenure/" target="_blank">a National Guard colleague says that a nuke manual went missing</a> when Tampon Timmy was in the Guard in Nebraska and officially in charge. The dates line up. Speaking of lying Tampon Timmy, he said Ronald Reagan was the last union member to be on a national ticket. Nope.<a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/09/21/fact-check-tim-walz-claims-reagan-was-last-union-member-to-be-on-a-national-ticket/" target="_blank"> Donald Trump is a SAG member,</a> just like Reagan. In fact, NO DemoKKKrat president have ever been in a union that I can recall.</p><p><br /> </p><p>11) Again, no one knows exactly what is going on in New York, but now the <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/09/22/us/nypd-police-commissioner-thomas-donlon-new-york/index.html" target="_blank">feds have served a search warrant on the interim police commissioner a week after he was appointed.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>12) The Arab-American mayor of Hamtramck, Michigan, said he had a very productive meeting with President Trump and <a href="https://x.com/nicksortor/status/1837974327536636223?t=bOGjriSFpcS3kxQBccHCyw&s=03" target="_blank">endorsed him.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>13) Rutabaga is a major embarrassment, above and beyond his pure evil. <a href="https://www.oann.com/newsroom/biden-forgets-which-world-leader-he-is-supposed-to-introduce-says-whos-next/" target="_blank">He forgot which world leader he was to introduce and asked, "Who's next?"</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>14) Absolutely expected: <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/schumer-good-chance-avoid-government-shutdown-johnson-rcna172148" target="_blank">Speaker of the House Mikey Johnson caved and passed a continuing resolution without the SAVE act.</a> No one in D.C. today apparently has the gonads to shut down this grotesquely bloated, dysfunctional, indebted government.</p><p><br /> </p><p>15) It looks like the Deep State, always deathly afraid of a black conservative (see what they did to Herschel Walker) has successfully <a href="https://x.com/NewsWire_US/status/1837965923183218693" target="_blank">torpedoed Mark Robinson's governor campaign in NC</a> with smears. His entire senior leadership all resigned.</p><p><br /> </p><p>16) The (alleged) Trump would be assassin, Ryan "Baby" Routh <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/shows/blaze-news-tonight/ryan-routh" target="_blank">was arrested 74 times before . . . and incarcerated none.</a> He <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-suspect-ryan-routh-allegedly-left-note-this-was-an-assassination-attempt-5728525?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2024-09-23-1&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2024-09-23-1&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbeM5Zwofysnf6boFv3dNK7N3ykoCaSoB2Nrl6qQwyaByApJzTMDRwO8%3D" target="_blank">left a note</a> which left no doubt, saying "This was an assassination attempt." Yeah, duh, Baby.</p><p><br /> </p><p>17) Antioch, Kollyfornia, where home prices are double the national average <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13808505/wealthy-california-city-indoor-drug-dens.html" target="_blank">is overrun with indoor drug dens.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>18) The San Diego border chief has accused Rutabaga of <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/cover-ex-border-patrol-chief-says-he-was-instructed-biden-harris-admin-hide-terrorist?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=3127" target="_blank">covering up increased encounters with terrorists.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>19) <a href="https://pjnewsletter.com/teachers-blue-state-illegals/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=actengage" target="_blank">Teachers in Benghazi-by-the-Lake (Chicago) were told to give illegal criminal alien kids passing grades no matter what. </a>The teachers are every one as corrupt and guilty as Rutabaga and Cackles.</p><p><br /> </p><p>20) Now we're getting somewhere. <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/09/22/us-news/chicago-gangbangers-face-off-against-venezuelans/" target="_blank">Gangbangers from Benghazi-by-the-Lake (Chicago) are raging against the illegal criminal aliens from Venezuela.</a> "The city is going up in flames."

Once again, this was the fraud. You cannot "harvest" ballots that don't exist and haven't been sent out.

      <title>TODAY&apos;S NEWS, September 19, 2024</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p> </p><h2>THE NEWS OF TODAY IS THE HISTORY OF TOMORROW</h2><p><strong>IN POLITICAL NEWS</strong></p><p><br /> </p><p>1) I still don't do polls, but for those who do, the anti-Trump Faux News "battleground" poll has <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1836538039692038501" target="_blank">President Trump up 2</a>. So we need to start being realistic here. Trump has underpolled in two straight elections by 2.1 points, so really he's up 4 and essentially out of reach. (This covers AZ, GA, NC, NV, PA, WI, MI). Now, I do NOT believe this poll, but the fact that it's even out there should scare the demons out of the DemoKKKrats: NY: Trump <a href="https://x.com/onpointpolitics/status/1836782779775779117" target="_blank">UP by a fraction of a point, 44.8% to 44.5%. 5% undecided. WOW.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Here is the more important news: in Wisconsin, early voting/early ballot requests have started and<a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1836430009663099318?t=OWAra-TJ53svrSyQQ75-7A&s=03" target="_blank"> 295,000 VBM/Absentees were requested contrasted with 1.3 million in 2020.</a> (They expect a final number of 423,000, or barely a third of 2020). This is a massive loss for the cheat and for DemoKKKrats. You can't fill out fraudulent ballots if they haven't been sent.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) This was the right ruling, but I doubt it will stand. A South Carolina judge just held that <a href="https://x.com/BehizyTweets/status/1836540543817408857" target="_blank">voter rolls are <i>public record</i> </a>and are subject to inspection by voter integrity supporters. If this were to hold, election integrity would be 90% secured.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Iranian hackers<a href="mailto:adamcanales48@gmail.com" target="_blank"> tried to pass hacked Trump campaign material to Rutabaga</a>. I'm sure he declined it. Or, possibly, that's why he finally agreed to beat it---he realized he was getting his ass kicked.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) <a href="https://amgreatness.com/2024/09/19/morning-greatness-14-republicans-join-with-democrats-to-tank-spending-bill/" target="_blank">Fourteen Republicans joined DemoKKKrats to sink the House spending bill </a>It is not clear if this included the SAVE act or not, but it's clear that DemoKKKrats and some Republicans want the blame for a gubment shutdown on the GOP's hands. Which wouldn't bother me. I'm for a gubment shutdown at any time, but it would probably hurt Republicans in November.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) <a href="https://danielrstreet.substack.com/p/the-suckers-and-losers-lie?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=865083&post_id=149078545&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Daniel Street</a> debunks the "suckers" and "losers" lie.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Was there some sort of attack on Trump at the New York rally? <a href="https://wltreport.com/2024/09/18/approximately-20-attendees-stage-trump-rally-reportedly-experience/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">Some 20 people on stage reported facial swelling, eye irritation, and blurred vision.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Former mayor DiBlasio's <a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/09/just-former-nyc-mayor-de-blasios-covid-czar/" target="_blank">China Virus "czar" was caught on tape bragging about wild sex parties while he locked down businesses and shamed the unvaxxed. </a>Evil, evil snotmuffins.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) New documents show the <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2024/09/19/exclusive-new-docs-shed-light-air-force-reduce-white-male-population-joining-officer-ranks/" target="_blank">Air Force's mission to reduce the number of white male pilots.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>10) <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13869629/thriving-city-destroyed-woke-policies-mayor.html" target="_blank">Spokane, Washington is becoming the new Seattle</a> with woke policies, homeless, drug-infested streets, and fentanyl use.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>11) Oh?

Over 80% of evangelicals and 79% of black Protestants definitely believe in miracles. Surprisingly, belief in miracles has increased at every level of education, including graduate school. So here is my story (one of two). I have witnesses. In the late 2010s at the university where I taught I was very late to give a test. You cannot cancel tests on students. They REALLY hate that because they believe in "cram and forget." Anyway I ran to the copy room where we had a major-league copier, only to find the department secretary, and at least one (perhaps two, can't remember) other faculty member standing there. The copy machine was dead, Jim. I don't mean "lights on, but not working." I mean no power, lights off, nuthin. They hadn't been able to get it working. I didn't have time to fiddle around so I put my test in, laid my hands on the machine, and shouted "IN THE NAME OF JESUS, WORK!" It sprang to life, printed all my tests, and as soon as I removed the last one from the hopper it died and no one could get it to work again. Not my problem at that time. I had a test to give!</p><p><br /> </p><p>13) This could help some:<a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/3157562/partisanship-could-save-florida-schools/?utm_source=deployer&utm_medium=email&utm_content=&utm_campaign=Beltway+Confidential&utm_term=" target="_blank"> Florida elections now will identify school board members by party affiliation.</a> The problem is that way too many RINOs look like Republicans and vote like terrorists.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN TRANSOID NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>14_ The head of Texas Children's Hospital, which has tried to make itself TTH (Texas Transoid Hospital)<a href="https://petermcculloughmd.substack.com/p/ceo-of-texas-childrens-hospital-to?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1119676&post_id=149105842&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> will resign amidst growing scrutiny.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ECONOMIC NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>15) Great column here on the <a href="https://alexepstein.substack.com/p/12-myths-that-government-dictated?utm_source=cross-post&publication_id=513601&post_id=149085584&utm_campaign=712558&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">multiple myths surrounding green energy, </a>particularly the notion that it's cheaper.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> </p><h2>THE NEWS OF TODAY IS THE HISTORY OF TOMORROW</h2><p><strong>IN POLITICAL NEWS</strong></p><p><br /> </p><p>1) I still don't do polls, but for those who do, the anti-Trump Faux News "battleground" poll has <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1836538039692038501" target="_blank">President Trump up 2</a>. So we need to start being realistic here. Trump has underpolled in two straight elections by 2.1 points, so really he's up 4 and essentially out of reach. (This covers AZ, GA, NC, NV, PA, WI, MI). Now, I do NOT believe this poll, but the fact that it's even out there should scare the demons out of the DemoKKKrats: NY: Trump <a href="https://x.com/onpointpolitics/status/1836782779775779117" target="_blank">UP by a fraction of a point, 44.8% to 44.5%. 5% undecided. WOW.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Here is the more important news: in Wisconsin, early voting/early ballot requests have started and<a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1836430009663099318?t=OWAra-TJ53svrSyQQ75-7A&s=03" target="_blank"> 295,000 VBM/Absentees were requested contrasted with 1.3 million in 2020.</a> (They expect a final number of 423,000, or barely a third of 2020). This is a massive loss for the cheat and for DemoKKKrats. You can't fill out fraudulent ballots if they haven't been sent.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) This was the right ruling, but I doubt it will stand. A South Carolina judge just held that <a href="https://x.com/BehizyTweets/status/1836540543817408857" target="_blank">voter rolls are <i>public record</i> </a>and are subject to inspection by voter integrity supporters. If this were to hold, election integrity would be 90% secured.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Iranian hackers<a href="mailto:adamcanales48@gmail.com" target="_blank"> tried to pass hacked Trump campaign material to Rutabaga</a>. I'm sure he declined it. Or, possibly, that's why he finally agreed to beat it---he realized he was getting his ass kicked.</p><p><br /> </p><p>5) <a href="https://amgreatness.com/2024/09/19/morning-greatness-14-republicans-join-with-democrats-to-tank-spending-bill/" target="_blank">Fourteen Republicans joined DemoKKKrats to sink the House spending bill </a>It is not clear if this included the SAVE act or not, but it's clear that DemoKKKrats and some Republicans want the blame for a gubment shutdown on the GOP's hands. Which wouldn't bother me. I'm for a gubment shutdown at any time, but it would probably hurt Republicans in November.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) <a href="https://danielrstreet.substack.com/p/the-suckers-and-losers-lie?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=865083&post_id=149078545&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Daniel Street</a> debunks the "suckers" and "losers" lie.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Was there some sort of attack on Trump at the New York rally? <a href="https://wltreport.com/2024/09/18/approximately-20-attendees-stage-trump-rally-reportedly-experience/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">Some 20 people on stage reported facial swelling, eye irritation, and blurred vision.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>8) Former mayor DiBlasio's <a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/09/just-former-nyc-mayor-de-blasios-covid-czar/" target="_blank">China Virus "czar" was caught on tape bragging about wild sex parties while he locked down businesses and shamed the unvaxxed. </a>Evil, evil snotmuffins.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) New documents show the <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2024/09/19/exclusive-new-docs-shed-light-air-force-reduce-white-male-population-joining-officer-ranks/" target="_blank">Air Force's mission to reduce the number of white male pilots.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>10) <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13869629/thriving-city-destroyed-woke-policies-mayor.html" target="_blank">Spokane, Washington is becoming the new Seattle</a> with woke policies, homeless, drug-infested streets, and fentanyl use.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>11) Oh? You know it's bad when the chairman of the Fed, <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/immigration/2024/09/19/jerome-powell-migration-raising-americans-unemployment-rate/" target="_blank">Jerome Powell says that illegal criminal migration is increasing the unemployment rate for Americans.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN CULTURAL NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>12) The great Ryan Burge shows that <a href="https://www.graphsaboutreligion.com/p/do-you-believe-in-miracles?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1561197&post_id=148766116&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">77% "definitely" or "probably" believe in miracles.</a> Belief in miracles actually increased since 1991, probably because people saw what happened to President Trump. Over 80% of evangelicals and 79% of black Protestants definitely believe in miracles. Surprisingly, belief in miracles has increased at every level of education, including graduate school. So here is my story (one of two). I have witnesses. In the late 2010s at the university where I taught I was very late to give a test. You cannot cancel tests on students. They REALLY hate that because they believe in "cram and forget." Anyway I ran to the copy room where we had a major-league copier, only to find the department secretary, and at least one (perhaps two, can't remember) other faculty member standing there. The copy machine was dead, Jim. I don't mean "lights on, but not working." I mean no power, lights off, nuthin. They hadn't been able to get it working. I didn't have time to fiddle around so I put my test in, laid my hands on the machine, and shouted "IN THE NAME OF JESUS, WORK!" It sprang to life, printed all my tests, and as soon as I removed the last one from the hopper it died and no one could get it to work again. Not my problem at that time. I had a test to give!</p><p><br /> </p><p>13) This could help some:<a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/3157562/partisanship-could-save-florida-schools/?utm_source=deployer&utm_medium=email&utm_content=&utm_campaign=Beltway+Confidential&utm_term=" target="_blank"> Florida elections now will identify school board members by party affiliation.</a> The problem is that way too many RINOs look like Republicans and vote like terrorists.</p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN TRANSOID NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>14_ The head of Texas Children's Hospital, which has tried to make itself TTH (Texas Transoid Hospital)<a href="https://petermcculloughmd.substack.com/p/ceo-of-texas-childrens-hospital-to?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1119676&post_id=149105842&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank"> will resign amidst growing scrutiny.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h3>IN ECONOMIC NEWS</h3><p><br /> </p><p>15) Great column here on the <a href="https://alexepstein.substack.com/p/12-myths-that-government-dictated?utm_source=cross-post&publication_id=513601&post_id=149085584&utm_campaign=712558&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">multiple myths surrounding green energy, </a>particularly the notion that it's cheaper.

      <description><![CDATA[<h2>THE NEWS OF TODAY IS THE HISTORY OF TOMORROW</h2><p>Reminder: I will be doing a live election night webcast along with Seth Keshel and Ashe Epp. Truth, accuracy, and a little humor with great guests such as Scott Presler, Seb Gorka, Nick Searcy, and MORE!

It's clear that perhaps 60% are so politicized as to be useless. It's also clear that among the better ones, few are keeping up with the momentous changes in voter registration and/or early ballot request <a href="https://www.wildworldofpolitics.com/blog/hashtags/s">#s</a>, which are far better indicators of where we are. For example, the <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1836107232171479151?t=9xeIHJM-lyrJO18X2B6yug&s=03" target="_blank">North Carolina stats on early ballot requests keep looking better and better</a> for Republicans. DemoKKKrats are down 8 points from 2020, Republicans are up 3.2 (right at that 11 point swing we see almost everywhere) and whites are up 6 while black requests are down 7. That is a serious number showing Cackles does NOT appeal to black people.</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Nevertheless, I am required to report some of this stuff. So, here is the <a href="https://x.com/davidchapman141/status/1836399397568942386" target="_blank"><i>Atlanta Urinal Constipation</i> saying that Trump is up three in Georgia</a>, closing off the last hope of a "path" for Cackles. Here is an example of why we can no longer even refer to polls: this VA poll has <a href="https://x.com/Loftii/status/1836394133625147623" target="_blank">a D=14 sample to get a Cackles 11 point lead in VA</a>. In 2020, VA was D+2. More important, if other states are an indicator, VA has gotten MORE red since 2020. <a href="https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/just-in-gallup-poll-shows-trump-surging-ahead-of-kamala-in-key-metric-mstef/?utm_medium=agg&utm_source=economics" target="_blank">Gallup has Trump up over Cackles in "favorability" and gaining while she is falling.</a> Note that the more she is seen, the less she is liked.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) Speaker <a href="https://amgreatness.com/2024/09/18/morning-greatness-johnson-to-bring-cr-to-floor-with-non-citizen-voting-prevention-attached/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=22399" target="_blank">Johnson will bring a continuing resolution to the floor WITH the non-citizen voting attachment</a>.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>THE NEWS OF TODAY IS THE HISTORY OF TOMORROW</h2><p>Reminder: I will be doing a live election night webcast along with Seth Keshel and Ashe Epp. Truth, accuracy, and a little humor with great guests such as Scott Presler, Seb Gorka, Nick Searcy, and MORE!

It's clear that perhaps 60% are so politicized as to be useless. It's also clear that among the better ones, few are keeping up with the momentous changes in voter registration and/or early ballot request <a href="https://www.wildworldofpolitics.com/blog/hashtags/s">#s</a>, which are far better indicators of where we are. For example, the <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1836107232171479151?t=9xeIHJM-lyrJO18X2B6yug&s=03" target="_blank">North Carolina stats on early ballot requests keep looking better and better</a> for Republicans. DemoKKKrats are down 8 points from 2020, Republicans are up 3.2 (right at that 11 point swing we see almost everywhere) and whites are up 6 while black requests are down 7.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>REMINDER: Along with Seth Keshel and Ashe Epp I will be hosting a live election night coverage this year. Please go to <a href="http://www.decisionusaonline.com/" target="_blank">www.decisionusaonline.com</a> and see how you can help. (Plus we have great gear).</p><p><br /> </p><p><br /> </p><p> </p><p><br /> </p><p><br /> </p><h2>IN POLITICAL NEWS</h2><p><br /> </p><p>1) Continuing with the "We really don't know what was in the mind of the second Trump would-be assassin," <a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-assassination-attempt-suspect-ukraine-f76ed09f256f6bd21727a10901d92af7?utm_campaign=TrueAnthem&utm_medium=AP&utm_source=Twitter" target="_blank">he merely wrote a book urging Iran to assassinate Trump.</a> I'm sure, though, his motives are a mystery. Meanwhile, the increasingly irrelevant <a href="https://100percentfedup.com/breaking-biden-trump-share-cordial-conversation-following-assassination/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">Rutabaga placed a call to President Trump </a>expressing relief Trump was not injured. Trump called the call "cordial."</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) Along with Seth Keshel, I continue to track what I think is <i>the</i> most significant data point this election and it is the sustained, dramatic domination of the recent voter registration in virtually <i>all</i> states that we can track. Just the latest? <a href="https://x.com/WinWithJMC/status/1835730941853012111?t=ziQP3u_ZQ-_japBMm2UuRw&s=03" target="_blank">Pennsylvania: in the last two weeks,</a> Rs have added 33,224 new voters while the Ds only added 21,236. The point isn't that Rs will erase the D lead---they won't---but in a fairly narrow election, Rs have more than eliminated the difference between Trump and Rutabaga in 2020.<a href="https://x.com/Maloney/status/1836031226051756472" target="_blank"> In terms of early ballot requests, Rs are down 55,000 (14.8%) so far from 2020, but Ds are down 303,000 (27.5%) from 2020. The actual numbers are staggering</a> given that Rutabaga "won" by 80,000 in PA. Right there is the election, even assuming that many Ds won't vote Trump (they will). Also note that the fraud margin is dramatically reduced. By the way, the <a href="https://x.com/IAPolls2022/status/1835872973204373879?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1835872973204373879%7Ctwgr%5E748f4022bc19cd59a2d71dde176274e12ed7d0f2%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Ftrendingpoliticsnews.com%2Fjust-in-trump-gets-huge-campaign-news-in-critical-swing-state-mstef%2F" target="_blank">latest Pennsylvania poll</a> has Trump up 2, a terrible sign for Cackles as it means he may be up 4.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) But that's not all: overnight numbers from Maricopa Co., Arizona show continued gains of Rs over Ds there, now with a margin <i>just in the county</i> of 163,085. An interesting fact is that the voter rolls were purged since 2020 of non-existent people, dead people, and DemoKKKrats (but I repeat myself) and while some 32,000 Rs were purged, 100,000 Ds were purged. So the GOP made up an additional 68,000 on the rolls (supposedly, of living people). Keep your eye on these voter registration stats, as they <i>will matter</i> even before November. As if to add an exclamation point, <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1835856250430513465" target="_blank">Insiider Advantage's PA poll has Trump up 1,</a> while <a href="https://x.com/davidchapman141/status/1835882798214676649" target="_blank">Trafalgar </a>has him has him up about 2 in PA and GA.</p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Maybe that's why <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2024/09/16/cnns-harry-enten-harris-polling-danger-zone/" target="_blank">CNN's Harry Enten warns that Cackles already is polling in the "danger zone."</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>5) Pigs are truly flying. <a href="https://x.com/IsabellaMDeLuca/status/1836053432756588631" target="_blank">Chris Cuomo sincerely apologized to President Trump</a>. Wow.</p><p><br /> </p><p>6) <a href="https://www.recorderonline.com/news/national_news/a-boy-was-trapped-between-boulders-for-9-hours-until-crews-could-free-him/article_1154b5c6-d070-57fe-af90-ce69720f5aba.html" target="_blank">A boy was trapped between two boulders for nine hours before rescuers could free him.</a> Thank God he didn't have to cut his own arm off as in the movie.</p><p><br /> </p><p>7) <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/immigration/2024/09/17/black-voters-slam-chicago-mayor-destroying-black-community-migrant-flood/" target="_blank">Black voters slammed the mayor of Benghazi-by-the-Lake</a> (Chicago) for putting illegal criminal aliens ahead of them. I actually believe President Trump could do a (well guarded) town hall near this area and knock it out of the park.</p><p><br /> </p><p>8) To quote the 60s band "Buffalo Springfield," "Somethin's happenin' here, what it is ain't exactly clear." The feds, taking time off from attacking ordinary conservative Americans, for some reason are on a jihad against New Kabul (NYC) and the officialdom under Mayor Eric the Red Adams. They already indicted and investigated some. <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/09/16/us-news/2-fdny-chiefs-arrested-by-feds-sources/" target="_blank">Now they have arrested two former FDNY chiefs for taking bribes for hurrying along inspections. </a>Well, if you ever saw the movie, "The Money Pit," you'd know why that might happen. But I'm not sure yet what is happening here.</p><p><br /> </p><p>9) Speaking of "somthin's happenin' here,"<a href="https://floppingaces.net/most-wanted/flat-broke-or-funded-meet-the-penniless-assassin-who-travels-like-a-rockstar/" target="_blank"> how is it that the "flat broke" Trump would-be assassin managed to fly around the world</a>? And I can't even afford a trip to Universal? Meanwhile <a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/09/erik-prince-trump-assassins-appearing-blackwater-commercials-statistical/" target="_blank">Erik Prince of Blackwater </a>mercenary group says it's statistically impossible to have both Trump assassins appear in commercials for BlackRock, the capital/land gobbler.</p><p><br /> </p><p>10) This is the way: a man expertly humiliates FascistBI agents who showed up to question him about a social media post: <a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/09/watch-man-expertly-humiliates-alleged-fbi-agents-sends/" target="_blank">1) Film the exchange, 2) Demand PHOTO ID, which they refused to produce; 3) Do not let them in your home.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h2>IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS</h2><p><br /> </p><p>11) A Texas <a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/09/democrat-judge-blocks-texas-ags-effort-stop-county/" target="_blank">DemoKKKrat judge blocked AG Ken Paxton's attempt to prevent 210,000 mail-in ballots from going to illegals</a>, and Paxton has already appealed.</p><p><br /> </p><p>12) Shocked.

That's a lot of "ooohhhh, babies."</p><p><br /> </p><p>14) Amazon has<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/09/16/amazon-jassy-tells-employees-to-return-to-office-five-days-a-week.html" target="_blank"> ordered employees to return to office/facility work five days a week.</a> Seems Amazon doesn't believe that "work from home" is productive.</p><p><br /> </p><p>15) <a href="https://dailyvoice.com/ny/roslyn/red-lobster-revival-restaurant-chain-exits-bankruptcy-with-60m-in-new-funding-new-ceo/?emh5=d33a913703bb53a55ee5d289dc7f8a85&emh256=27fa2b6df20db4f140cc2d25d3095db003b9ef7b0028a424a024cff4a8519bbd&emh256_base=d27ac9461af8e" target="_blank">Red Lobster has exited bankruptcy</a> with $60 million in cash and may make it.</p><p><br /> </p><p>16) Big story here: <a href="https://blackmon.substack.com/p/bp-to-divest-wind-unit-in-effort?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=712558&post_id=149001918&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">BP is to divest its wind unit in an effort to boost competitiveness. </a>(Translation: wind loses money).</p><p><br /> </p><p>17) The <a href="https://www.dailyfetched.com/pentagon-gives-1-5-million-in-taxpayer-money-to-fake-meat-company/" target="_blank">Pentagon has given $1.5 million to a fake meat company.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>18) Not only is AI going to suck up energy, <a href="https://irinaslav.substack.com/p/ai-the-joke-that-keeps-on-entertaining?utm_campaign=email-post&r=dx45b&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">but it's going to place a massive run on copper.</a></p><p><br /> </p><h2>IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS</h2><p><br /> </p><p>19) <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2024/09/16/cnns-harry-enten-harris-polling-danger-zone/" target="_blank">Ukraine is virtually disappearing with the lowest birth rate in the world</a> and the highest death rate.

By the way, the <a href="https://x.com/IAPolls2022/status/1835872973204373879?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1835872973204373879%7Ctwgr%5E748f4022bc19cd59a2d71dde176274e12ed7d0f2%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Ftrendingpoliticsnews.com%2Fjust-in-trump-gets-huge-campaign-news-in-critical-swing-state-mstef%2F" target="_blank">latest Pennsylvania poll</a> has Trump up 2, a terrible sign for Cackles as it means he may be up 4.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) But that's not all: overnight numbers from Maricopa Co., Arizona show continued gains of Rs over Ds there, now with a margin <i>just in the county</i> of 163,085. An interesting fact is that the voter rolls were purged since 2020 of non-existent people, dead people, and DemoKKKrats (but I repeat myself) and while some 32,000 Rs were purged, 100,000 Ds were purged. So the GOP made up an additional 68,000 on the rolls (supposedly, of living people). Keep your eye on these voter registration stats, as they <i>will matter</i> even before November.

He will be lucky if his driver isn't Jack Ruby, Jr. This lunatic <a href="https://rumble.com/v5f2xxf-suspect-in-trump-assassination-attempt-was-interviewed-by-newsweek-romania-.html" target="_blank">was interviewed by Newsweak Romania</a> while trying to recruit mercenaries to fight for Ukraine. And right away Cong. Hakeem Jeffries said "We must stop MAGA Republicans" with no shred of decency at all. It is DemoKKKrats like him who are the terrorists. <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/top-secret-service-agents-plan-to-retire-ahead-of-damning-report-revealing-massive-security-failures-during-butler-trump-assassination-attempt" target="_blank">Meanwhile, a report says that senior SS agents are preparing to retire as an internal investigation is set to be released showing how incompetent they were</a>. And <a href="https://x.com/GovRonDeSantis/status/1835476568212201744" target="_blank">Gov. DeSantis says Florida will conduct its OWN </a>investigation of the attempted assassination, not trusting the FascistBI. Why should they?

I will never surrender."</a> You idiot libtoids have awakened a sleeping giant. Oh, and the attack was not at Mar-a-Lago but at Trump International Club at West Palm Beach. And as you might expect, Facebook/"Meta' ("Meta" means death in Hebrew) <a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/09/just-meta-scrubs-trump-would-be-assassin-ryan/" target="_blank">scrubbed the would-be murderer's FascistBook page. </a>Unfortunately for them, <a href="https://notthebee.com/article/i-compiled-a-profile-on-the-second-trump-shooter-with-as-much-info-as-i-could-grab-before-it-was-scrubbed-off-the-internet" target="_blank">this guy compiled a whole list of everything before they scrubbed it.</a> Enjoy!</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) To me, <a href="https://x.com/LarrySchwe94560/status/1835361293890650210" target="_blank">this is a clear indicator as to why they are so desperate</a>. The early ballot requests are coming in from North Carolina. Remember they were down 90% in Georgia, down badly overall, down among DemoKKKrats in North Carolina (-11) up for Republicans, down for DemoKKKrats in Duval Co., Florida (and up for Republicans, in each case an 11-point gap compared to 2020) and now these numbers: In North Carolina 2020 there were 1,010,080. D ballot requests (49.4%) and R 17.6% while now there are 38.2% D requests and and 22.9% Rs. Overall VBM requests WAY down; Ds -11.2, Rs +5.3. Everywhere we can track actual ACTIONS instead of polls, DemoKKKrats have lost massively off their 2020 levels, Rs have gained a significant amount. This was where the cheat was, in the ballot requests from "nursing homes" and apartment buildings with five months to fill out the ballots under Covid. And the most r<a href="https://x.com/atlas_intel/status/1835070367310004405" target="_blank">ecent poll by Atlas</a> (the most accurate pollster in 2020) has Trump up 3.6 points and over 51%. Over the weekend there was great handwringing over an IA Trump +4 poll, which it was previously thought Ann Seltzer was sitting on a Trump +19 poll. Well, guess what. <a href="https://skeshel.substack.com/p/captain-k-debunks-more-rigged-polling?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=798984&post_id=148967732&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Seth Keshel did the legwork and found out that, ONCE AGAING REGISTRATIONS</a> show at least a Trump 18 lead in IA and also meaning that his estimate for a Trump win in WI by about 40,000 in his most pessimistic scenario.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) ABC whistleblower who said ABC gave Cackles the questions in advance died in a car accident---<a href="https://x.com/bennyjohnson/status/1835347010527822267" target="_blank">but the documents didn't. </a></p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Cackles has Taylor Swift, but <a href="https://wltreport.com/2024/09/14/latin-music-superstar-endorses-president-trump-rally/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">Trump has Nicky Jam, the biggest icon in Hispanic music</a>.

No, it isn't about demand. It's about supply and always has been.

He will be lucky if his driver isn't Jack Ruby, Jr. This lunatic <a href="https://rumble.com/v5f2xxf-suspect-in-trump-assassination-attempt-was-interviewed-by-newsweek-romania-.html" target="_blank">was interviewed by Newsweak Romania</a> while trying to recruit mercenaries to fight for Ukraine. And right away Cong. Hakeem Jeffries said "We must stop MAGA Republicans" with no shred of decency at all. It is DemoKKKrats like him who are the terrorists. <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/top-secret-service-agents-plan-to-retire-ahead-of-damning-report-revealing-massive-security-failures-during-butler-trump-assassination-attempt" target="_blank">Meanwhile, a report says that senior SS agents are preparing to retire as an internal investigation is set to be released showing how incompetent they were</a>. And <a href="https://x.com/GovRonDeSantis/status/1835476568212201744" target="_blank">Gov. DeSantis says Florida will conduct its OWN </a>investigation of the attempted assassination, not trusting the FascistBI. Why should they? As for President Trump, he defiantly roared <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/trump-safe-after-shooter-ak47-reportedly-targeted-former-pres-while-golfing-secret?utm_source=daily_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=3097" target="_blank">"Nothing will slow me down. I will never surrender."</a> You idiot libtoids have awakened a sleeping giant. Oh, and the attack was not at Mar-a-Lago but at Trump International Club at West Palm Beach. And as you might expect, Facebook/"Meta' ("Meta" means death in Hebrew) <a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/09/just-meta-scrubs-trump-would-be-assassin-ryan/" target="_blank">scrubbed the would-be murderer's FascistBook page. </a>Unfortunately for them, <a href="https://notthebee.com/article/i-compiled-a-profile-on-the-second-trump-shooter-with-as-much-info-as-i-could-grab-before-it-was-scrubbed-off-the-internet" target="_blank">this guy compiled a whole list of everything before they scrubbed it.</a> Enjoy!</p><p><br /> </p><p>2) To me, <a href="https://x.com/LarrySchwe94560/status/1835361293890650210" target="_blank">this is a clear indicator as to why they are so desperate</a>. The early ballot requests are coming in from North Carolina. Remember they were down 90% in Georgia, down badly overall, down among DemoKKKrats in North Carolina (-11) up for Republicans, down for DemoKKKrats in Duval Co., Florida (and up for Republicans, in each case an 11-point gap compared to 2020) and now these numbers: In North Carolina 2020 there were 1,010,080. D ballot requests (49.4%) and R 17.6% while now there are 38.2% D requests and and 22.9% Rs. Overall VBM requests WAY down; Ds -11.2, Rs +5.3. Everywhere we can track actual ACTIONS instead of polls, DemoKKKrats have lost massively off their 2020 levels, Rs have gained a significant amount. This was where the cheat was, in the ballot requests from "nursing homes" and apartment buildings with five months to fill out the ballots under Covid. And the most r<a href="https://x.com/atlas_intel/status/1835070367310004405" target="_blank">ecent poll by Atlas</a> (the most accurate pollster in 2020) has Trump up 3.6 points and over 51%. Over the weekend there was great handwringing over an IA Trump +4 poll, which it was previously thought Ann Seltzer was sitting on a Trump +19 poll. Well, guess what. <a href="https://skeshel.substack.com/p/captain-k-debunks-more-rigged-polling?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=798984&post_id=148967732&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=dx45b&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Seth Keshel did the legwork and found out that, ONCE AGAING REGISTRATIONS</a> show at least a Trump 18 lead in IA and also meaning that his estimate for a Trump win in WI by about 40,000 in his most pessimistic scenario.</p><p><br /> </p><p>3) ABC whistleblower who said ABC gave Cackles the questions in advance died in a car accident---<a href="https://x.com/bennyjohnson/status/1835347010527822267" target="_blank">but the documents didn't. </a></p><p><br /> </p><p>4) Cackles has Taylor Swift, but <a href="https://wltreport.com/2024/09/14/latin-music-superstar-endorses-president-trump-rally/?utm_source=PTN&utm_medium=mixed&utm_campaign=PTN" target="_blank">Trump has Nicky Jam, the biggest icon in Hispanic music</a>.

There are countless Tik Toks, memes, and <a href="https://x.com/Rasmussen_Poll/status/1834927972697911325" target="_blank">President Trump just posted this one on Twitter that had 81 million impressions.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>6) I think President Trump knew the results of this poll when he tweeted "I hate Taylor Swift:" a poll shows that <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/09/14/us-news/more-voters-to-vote-against-harris-than-for-after-swift-endorsement-poll/" target="_blank">more voters were turned away from Cackles than to her by Swift's endorsement.</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>7) Naaahhh.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>1) Are the mules a problem this year? <strong>IN POLITICAL NEWS </strong>As you know, one of the things we are famous for here is watching all the NON-polling indicators. This is a new one, and thanks to you sleuths who are doing this work. I noted on Labor Day that GA's early vote ballot applications were down huge (90%). Remember in 2020, THIS was the source of the steal---the mules using early ballots.

This is an <strong>object lesson in HISTORY. </strong>With a single exception that I am aware of, no company/industry in American history which was the leader in the field pioneered the next big breakthrough. For example, the auto was not invented by Wells Fargo or Butterfield but by an employee at Westinghouse. The airplane didn't come from balloon makers. The calculator wasn't developed by Keuffel Slide Rules. IBM, with 85% of the computer field, did not invent the Personal Computer. And SONY, with its "Walkman," did not jump to digital music---that was our only exception, Steve Jobs with his IPod, a computer company that found a way into the music industry.</p><p> </p><p><strong>IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS</strong></p><p><br />19) Hun giant <a href="https://confoundedinterest.net/2024/08/30/the-broken-arms-of-krupp-thyssenkrupp-has-negative-enterprise-value-how-the-mighty-have-fallen/" target="_blank">Thyssen-Krupp now has a <i>negative </i>enterprise value.</a></p><p>20) Irena Slav notes that the German "success" with solar and wind has been almost entirely due to the <a href="https://irinaslav.substack.com/p/conspirasea?utm_campaign=email-half-post&r=dx45b&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Hun government radically speeding up the process for permissions</a>---but only for solar and wind.

True reform can only come through professors, faculty, administrators, and regents, not government imposed rules.</p><p><br /><strong>IN ECONOMIC NEWS</strong></p><p>14) <a href="https://confoundedinterest.net/2024/08/31/biden-harris-illusionomcs-hells-hells-bells-pending-home-sales-all-time-low-while-consumer-spending-is-just-government-handouts/" target="_blank">Pending home sales are at an all-time low</a>, while the consumer spending spree continues supported by gubment handouts.

This is an <strong>object lesson in HISTORY. </strong>With a single exception that I am aware of, no company/industry in American history which was the leader in the field pioneered the next big breakthrough. For example, the auto was not invented by Wells Fargo or Butterfield but by an employee at Westinghouse. The airplane didn't come from balloon makers. The calculator wasn't developed by Keuffel Slide Rules. IBM, with 85% of the computer field, did not invent the Personal Computer. And SONY, with its "Walkman," did not jump to digital music---that was our only exception, Steve Jobs with his IPod, a computer company that found a way into the music industry.</p><p> </p><p><strong>IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS</strong></p><p><br />19) Hun giant <a href="https://confoundedinterest.net/2024/08/30/the-broken-arms-of-krupp-thyssenkrupp-has-negative-enterprise-value-how-the-mighty-have-fallen/" target="_blank">Thyssen-Krupp now has a <i>negative </i>enterprise value.</a></p><p>20) Irena Slav notes that the German "success" with solar and wind has been almost entirely due to the <a href="https://irinaslav.substack.com/p/conspirasea?utm_campaign=email-half-post&r=dx45b&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">Hun government radically speeding up the process for permissions</a>---but only for solar and wind.
