About this Episode
IN POLITICAL NEWS
1)) President Trump is in excellent health says his annual physical and has lost 20 pounds.
2) First Buttplugs, then Witless Protection, now another potentially solid DemoKKKrat U.S. senate candidate in MI has bowed out. This seat may be gettable.
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 "completely resetting the historical bar, packing decades of geopolitical maneuvering and domestic policy upheaval into mere weeks."
4) Trump had his "perfect" medical exam and aced the mental test, saying "I wanted to be a little different from Biden."
5) A portrait of Zero in the White House has been replaced with the "Fight!" portrait of Trump.
6) For now, Trump has exempted cell phones and laptops 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 "Babylon Bee" said that "Apple warns that China Tariffs could Negatively Impact Child Enslavement Opportunities.
7) The U.S. Navy has fired a commander and a master chief of the expeditionary security squadron for "loss of confidence in their abilities to perform their duties."
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. Seth Keshel, in his column, lays them out. 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.
9) According to CNN's Harry Enten, the question "cares about someone like me" in the latest polling shows a tie between the parties, which he says is a major warning sign for the DemoKKKrats.
10) Police arrested a nutbag who tried to set fire to the PA governor's mansion. Good. Now, where is justice for President Trump with "Baby" Routh?
11) I missed this, but in early March a DemoKKKrat Congressman from CT said that between six and a dozen of his colleagues didn't have the "faculties" to do the job." 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..
12) Typical corrupt DemoKKKrat here, as Boston's douchespigot mayor Michelle Wu is accused of taking $300,000 from a fundraiser tied to the ChiComs.
13) Arizona has begun removing 50,000 illegal, dead, or Martian voters from the rolls. Had that been in place in 2020, Kari Lake would be governor, or in 2022, she would be senator.
14) The FDA will phase out animal testing with drugs. This follows Lee Zeldin's comment that the EPA would also phase out animal testing at the EPA. PFizer, meanwhile, has scrapped its weight loss pill after a series of setbacks and a liver injury in a single patient.
15) Speaking of agencies, Trump is weighing plans to completely eliminate the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms. Good. This was a Prohibition creation brought on by prohibiting a product (booze) that was soon reinstated.
16) Judges still playing games, as a judge allows layoffs but not the total dismantling of the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau. 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.
IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS
17) A federal judge has refused to block immigration raids at churches.
18) Trump has authorized the DoD to take control of lands bordering Mexico in Kollyfornia and other states to stop the illegal invaders. Some of this is Injun land.
19) The administration stripped temporary benefits of all kinds from illegal criminal invaders.
20) The DOJ said that courts have no authority over the deported MS-13 member now in an El Salvadoran jail. My opinion, this guy ain't never getting out.
IN CULTURAL NEWS
21) President Trump ditched the so-called "Pride" events and declared a "holy week" of preparation for the Resurrection Day. 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 "the electrifying sound of a cultural defibrillator, jolting a flickering national soul back toward life."
22) The feds are cutting all education funding to non-complying Maine schools.
23) This is part II of my review of a must-read book, Shoshana Zuboff's The Age of Surveillance Capitalism. Eye-opening.
24) From Ryan Burge, this is the least social group of youts in 50 years. One-third don't go out at all, either on a date or with friends, even once a week; the trend started before cell phones and accelerated; and religious activity such as attending church moves the needle just a little. Overall, we have roughly one-third of the youts who are entirely anti-social in person.
25) Pretty good take on this. Jeff Bezos is sending his fiancee, Lauren Sanchez, actress Katy Perry, and a couple of other women up in his spacecraft while an army of mostly unseen men do all the work to make sure they don't die a horrible death in space.
IN ECONOMIC NEWS
26) The producer price index dropped into the negative with falling prices everywhere.
27) BP just made a major new oil discovery in the Gulf of America.
28) The ten-year Treasury yield fell back to 4.5% after doomers were insisting it would go above 5%.
29) Then the US deficit hit a five-year low "unexpectedly."
30) David Blackmon relates that in a single day, the Trump administration a) rescinded the Zero/Rutabaga water restrictions in showers; b) ended the EPA reporting on global gas emissions; c) saw the House launch an investigation into greenhouse gas funds; and d) had the Bureau of Land Management walk back thousands of reviews of oil and gas leases, allowing those to go forward..
42) Oh? So we can make stuff here? NVIDIA just announced a $500 billion investment in the US with TSMC and Foxconn.
IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS
32) From the New York Slimes, "Why Iran's Supreme Leader Came Around" to talks with Trump. Yeah, cuz maybe he ran out of Obama's money.
33) How Sweden's multicultural dream went wrong. Odd, I did not see any real, consistent discussion of Islam in this article.
34) The ChiComs are in trouble, and are seeing erosion everywhere except in total exports. Trump's tariffs will have a major impact on the already weakening economy. For example, of the four profitable EV makers in the world (obviously Tesla is one), three are from Chyna. Except without government subsidies and force, none of these would be profitable.
35) As usual, African countries with the help of the IMF are trying to screw American and foreign oil investors by delaying payments or blocking transfers of funds. Congress is working on a bill that likely won't address the deeper problems.
36) The U.S. has deployed troops across the Panama Canal Zone. It's our Canal, after all.
37) Mediocre Britain is now trying to get the ChiComs out of British steel. Good luck.
38) I am in full agreement with Victor Davis Hanson on this: Chy-na would lose a trade war with the U.S.---gradually, then suddenly. If you think this isn't hurting Chy-na, watch this. Mid-sized/small businesses are in big trouble, Foxconn in China down 40%. Plastic Christmas tree orders are zero. "Almost no ships leaving Shanghai the day after the tariffs."
39) Catholics are set to exceed Anglicans in Mediocre Britain for the first time since Henry VIII needed a hottie, mostly due to da youts. Right. Now do Muslims.
40) Eric Schmidt at TED 2025 says "AI is underhyped and we will need 90 nuke plants to service just AI in the U.S."
41) Saudi Arabia's "Line" Megacity is using 20% of the world's steel.
42) Ecuqdor has reelected Danial Noboa, a Javier Melie/Bukele anti-crime president. Now if we could just get Bolsonaro back in Brazil.
IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS
43) Bill Maher did a monologue on his dinner with President Trump. Impressive.
44) Trump's Art of the Deal surged on Amazon's bestseller lists after his string of tariff victories.
45) Someone had AI make a country song, "God made guns, God made beer." The only things missing are rain, a dog, momma, and jail.
46) My Phoenix Suns fired their head coach, Mike Budholzer, after only a single really bad season with three supposed superstars.
47) William Shatner noted that Paramount Plus has DEI-censored every single episode of the original "Star Trek."
IN CHINA VIRUS NEWS
48) The Pentagon has welcomed back troops wrongfully discharged over the China Virus vax.
AND FINALLY . . .
49) A one-minute exposure to a specific sound frequency can alleviate motion sickness. Heck, I knew that. That's why I always listen to Jimi Hendrix on flights.
