About this Episode
IN POLITICAL NEWS
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? They are "bringing a pencil to a knife fight." So what? Chuck Norris can kill you with the eraser. Meanwhile, Patrick Ruffini says gerrymandering is forever; 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..
2) In the past 3 months, 1.1 million more Americans have gone on disability. What's going on? Is this related to the vaxxes?
3) This is political more than economic. President Trump bounced Fed Board Member Lisa Cook, 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.
4) We have oil. We need refineries. Ronald Stein notes this shortage may jeopardize our quality of life.
5) Trump is seeking to end cashless bail, which is, of course, no bail at all. Oh, and Trump wants D.C. to have the death penalty for murders. 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, "we're against crime. DemoKKKrats like crime." 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 81% think crime is a big problem, and the survey says Trump is at 53% approval on crime.
6) PA had a requirement that ballots returned late or without a signature would not be counted. Now a court has said that is unconstitutional. The Appeals panel, 2 Ds and 1 Bush appointee, will now see the case head to the Supes, I am guessing.
7) I knew it. That slimy Jeff Sessions in Trump's first term abetted the DOJ stymieing and squashing probes on James Scotumoter Comey, Schiffty the Human Lemur, Cankles, and Hunter Biteme. It appears that Scrotumtoter's FBI had its own email scandal, too. And Bondi's DOJ has reached settlements with 10 FBI whistleblowers who were screwed under the Rutabaga admin. Over at the DNI office, Tulsi Gabbard said they found more "burn bags" still untouched full of incriminating stuff. Oh, and remember when you couldn't even say the name "George Soros" on FAUX? Yeah, well now President Trump calls out him and his spoogling son and suggests the government use RICO on them. Now, per Robert Barnes, the lawyer, RICO is extremely difficult to get and in reality it's a lot easier to nail peole on specific smaller charges.
8) So much for "Muh Racism." Black juries only convict blacks 12% of the time vs. nearly 60% of the time if it's whites. Whites are also more likely to convict whites.
9) President Trump wants to change the name of the Department of Defense back to the original name, the Department of War.
IN CULTURAL NEWS
10) In a partial win, Cracker Barrel, after two failed apologies, brought back the original logo. This is good, we won a skirmish. But Cracker Barrel is still full of snakes at the top. We might want to consider holding the boycott til they ditch the CEO. We now know that an investor called the idiot rebrand "Obvious folly." Oh, and it appears President Trump weighing in on this was the last straw. Jeffrey Tucker, as did Jennifer Sey, asks "why do they keep doing this?" Much of it has to do with a second "managerial revolution" where control of companies went from professional CEOs to HR/Marketing, who control the numbers.
11) The editor of Vanity Fair says half his staff says they'll quit if the mag puts Melania Trump, the most beautiful and glamourous first lady EVER, on the cover. Evil fecalscooters.
12) Shocked, I tell ya. The two largest teachers unions gave $40m to prog causes.
IN TRANSOID NEWS
13) I just love everything about this administration. Bobby Kennedy at HHS has set a deadline for Kollyfornia and any other non-complying state to remove all gender ideology queer studies garbage from their federally funded school programs.
14) So get the idiocy of this one: female students seeking privacy in bathrooms must get paperwork for a "mental health accommodation"---NOT the lunatic man who thinks he's a woman.
15) Right now Transoids are the most dangerous subgroup in America. The shooting in Minnesota at a Catholic church shooting is another transoid male trying to defy DNA.
IN ECONOMIC NEWS
16) U.S. home prices dropped .25%. For younger people to get affordable homes, older people who might want to downsize must move, which means affordable homes in their price range. So this is necessary.
17) Commerce Sec Howard Luttnick---who I think was feeling a little ignored, because in the last few days he has been active---says that taxpayers need to get back some returns from all the patents held by Big U. Not to be outdone, Treasury Sec. Scott Bessent said that the U.S. deficit would fall by 25% and that tariffs could generate $1 trillion dollars in revenues.

18) Single family home prices dropped a little more. Maybe inflation is receding.
19) Silicon Valley is mobilizing against AI regulations.
20) Manufacturing of durable goods is on the rise.
21) Transportation Sec Sean Duffy says they are bringing New Kabul's Union Station back under USDOT control.
22) The OMB says the Trump administration is not eliminating 10 regs per every new one added---it's eliminating 30.
IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS
23) Irena Slav provides an excellent update on the battery situation in Europe. Euros think it's great. It ain't good.
24) India's PM Modi is making a big mistake. He is going to war over Trump's tariffs. I suspect he will Canuck soon. (That's synonym for "cave").
25) Is China's property crisis abating?
26) And is Mediocre Britain heading for an IMF bailout?
IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS
27) I am seriously impressed. Angel Studios has raised over $35 million of its $40 million goal with four days left. That's a pretty good campaign.
28) Other people have come forward saying Michael Tait drugged them and raped them. Here is a review of the unraveling of a pop star.
29) "Nobody 2" is good fun, though not as good as the original, largely because many of the character surprises are already out. Nevertheless, a good shoot-em-up that has a climax similar to "Nobody." B
IN MEDICAL NEWS
30) Many FEMA staff have been put on leave after criticizing the Trump administration. Hey, boosterpoots: get on board or get out.
31) Yikes! RFK, Jr. says his HHS will have a report in September on the causes of autism. I'm not sure why he announced this now, except to give the Hoax News Media an extra month to twist. Trump observed "There has to be something causing this, some drug . . ." I think we are witnessing a slow turn of an aircraft carrier in the whole vax thing for President Trump. Not sure how close we'll get to an apology, but I think we'll get close.
32) And the FDA has revoked the emergency authorization that enabled the China Virus Vax shenanigans. Well, three years too late, but . . .
AND FINALLY. . .
33) As I'm sure you've heard, Taylor Swift and the Kelce boy got engaged. What you probably didn't hear is that they sold photo and other licensing for the wedding for a nine-figure fortune.
