About this Episode
IN POLITICAL NEWS
1) Justice Johnny, seeing the court system slip out of his grasp, finally stepped in and scotched the court order requiring the return of a dangerous MS-13 toadpoacher. In perhaps an even bigger, 7-2 victory, the Supes ruled against an order to bring back thousands of federal employees. And yet another victory as an appeals court said DOGE can access "sensitive" information.
2) The DOJ's sealed motion against would-be Trump killer Ryan "Baby" Routh 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. Leaks show Baby Routh tried to buy a Stinger from Ukraine to take out Trump and discussed his plan with "an operative" in Pennsylvania. So why wasn't he already arrested?
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 the EU must commit to buying $350 billion worth of energy before the tariffs come off. Good start. And speaking of energy, Trump will support "clean coal." Coal, oil, whatever---it's all about forcing not just tariff changes but entire global structural change on everything from finances to pharma. As Jeff Childers, who again has an insightful column, argues, "No U.S. president has ever 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, today it's 70.
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. His fave economist, Art Laffter, sides with Trump.
5) CNN's Harry Enten calls Trump a "soaring eagle." Jake the Snake Tapper looks like he's going to cry when a billionaire steel CEO says that Trump is going to "create high-paying jobs" and get people out of poverty.
6) Congressman Steve Scalise says there is a "Line out the door" to renegotiate trade.
7) Judge Ballsberger had to back down on his hearing after the Supes smacked him.
8) Here, conservative strategist Edward Luttwak sides with Trump on tariffs.
9) Dan Bongino at the FBI insists things are coming, arrests will be made, but urges patience. But details aren't coming out because "bad guys read them" too. "Measure us by results," he said, and "you will see them."
10) Back and forth. Now Chris Sununu of New Hampshire says he will NOT run 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.
11) Meanwhile, PA Republicans had another great month, with a net shift of over 7,000 voters to Rs or away from Ds. July 2026 is the estimated "flip date" for the state.
12) Florida announced a major bust of a child trafficking ring.
13) Vying to take the title of stupidest woman in America from James Brown (Maxine Waters), Jasmine What-a-Crockett says immigrants can't leave cuz we need them to pick cotton.
14) A new Democracy Institute poll says that people by 7 points say Trump's tariffs are good for 'Merica.
IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS
15) Perfect. So now, now only are DemoKKKrats being viewed as the party of the uber-rich, but they are defending hiring illegals cuz you know, "Americans won't do the work." Yep, that's a winner too.
16) ICE has arrested 133 illegals in New York. Great, but need to add two zeros.
17) However, in huge news the Catholic Church has shut down its illicit illegal criminal alien refugee and migrant aid programs.
18) The IRS and Social Security have reached a deal to enhance deportations.
19) The Trump administration has revoked legal status for immigrants who came in under Rutabaga's CBP One app.
20) A Kollyfornia soccer coach accused of killing a 13-year-old boy is a .. . wait for it . . . illegal criminal alien.
21) Avelo Airlines is cutting routes so it can provide the gubment with deportation planes.
IN ECONOMIC NEWS
22) Stocks gained on thoughts that Trump might relent on tariffs. Then the 104% ChiCom tariffs went into effect and stocks fell.
24) Jeffrey Tucker notes that the U.S. economic model of inflated assets and growing debt was not sustainable. I would add, neither is maintaining a constant trade deficit with 90% of the countries in the world, including ChyNa.
25) The Nintendo Switch 2 is defying cries about price ($440) and demand is high. Guess that recession will have to wait.
26) The uberwealthy are turning on Trump. Good. Let the DemoKKKrats be the party of the champagne-snorters. If they think this helps them politically, it's just another nail in their coffin.
27) Typically the DemoKKKrat governor of New Jersey looks to more taxes to fix his state's budget, not to cutting. His new "perplexing" spate of taxes cover everything from booze to bowling to drones.
28) A breakthrough plasma development could greatly enhance capacitors, hence extending the storage of EV batteries.
29) Well, float my boat and call me a dinghy. Former Zero adviser Rahm Emmanuel sides with Trump on ChiCom tariffs, saying they can't get high enough.
30) Trump has taken a multifaceted approach to reviving the US coal industry.
IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS
31) As signaled earlier, Netanyahu promised to eliminate Israel's trade surplus with the U.S. Trump still may not be appeased, saying "We give you $4 billion a year."
32) The US has quietly removed its military representative from NATO., a DEI admiral.
33) Muy Macho Marco is perhaps the most effective Sec State we've had since John Hay. Here he puts the pro-war Polish sausage of a PM in his place.
34) In an Israeli lawsuit, a Pale-American billionaire is accused of backing the Oct. 7 attacks.
35) Sick. Some 50 poisoned hippos (anthrax) washed up in a national park in Congo.
36) SecDef Pete Hegseth has vowed tight cooperation with Panama to keep the ChiComs out.
37) Global pharma shares collapsed. Folks, you have two choices. Pay the tariffs or relocate to the US. Trump has threatened to end the pharma tariff exception. Good. Meanwhile, the EU chose poorly, imposing retaliatory tariffs. Again, it's about more than tariffs. It's about market access.
38) Prince Harry was abruptly hauled out of court because of a shrieking woman. No, not Megxit.
39) In another sign that the ChiComs are in deep trouble, they are ending all Christian missionary activity. A desperate regime becomes more authoritarian.
IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS
40) The eternally hot childhood crush Dyan Cannon is still dating at age 88.
41) Rachel Zeigler's "Snow Black" is cratering. May not reach $100 million on a budget of $250m plus marketing, meaning they are at least $200m in the hole.
IN CHINA VIRUS NEWS
42) About two years ago I said that it would take a couple of years, but the studies would begin to come out proving the vax was linked to myocarditis. Right on schedule, this study shows that the myocarditis rates with the China Virus vax were higher than with the SARs vax.
43) And this one: an 85 million person study found increased risks of stroke and heart attack associated with the vax.
44) Wonder why Trump quit mentioning "Warp Speed" in his speeches? Musician John Rich (and Herschel Walker and Marsha Blackburn) got ahold of him and gave him the skinny. Trump was dumbfounded. He hadn't heard this before. Rich told him that he had many advisors who were lying to him and that the cabal the foisted the vax on the public was a bunch of "depopulatinist" diddlepickles. (My term, not his).
45) The senior CIA official who supported Rutabaga's military vax mandate has been fired.
46) Although they don't talk to me anymore because I said DeSoros was an idiot for challenging Trump, Tracy Beanz at www.uncoverde.com had this story LONG before anyone else did.
AND FINALLY . . .
47) A Thai restaurant is offering a 20% "skinny discount" if patrons can fit through various spaces. Don't expect to see Porky Pritzker, Lizzo, or 90% of the models for Macy's there any time soon.
