About this Episode
IN POLITICAL NEWS
1) This author thinks that the judicial resistance will fail. I agree, but I think he places way too much faith in the legislative branch doing anything. In six weeks, they have not done a single thing, passed a single bill, or impeached a single judge. Some federal judges are resisting the resist. This one said DOGE could access federal information systems.
2) Meanwhile blue states have filed for a temporary restraining order preventing Trump or DOGE basically from doing anything, and of course this landed with the Ho Cake Chutkin. Anything in this vein would be expedited post haste to the Supes.
3) Insiders are describing the DOGE nerds as "energetic and dug in." DOGE has found over 15,000 IRS agents who could be let go as early as next week. Look I already voted for Trump. You don't need to convince me.
4) After several scabnugget federal prosecutors resigned in protest, MAGA moves on and the DOJ moved to dismiss all charges against would-be ally in the immigration wars, Eric the Red Adams.
5) Meanwhile, let's look at the real world. How much faith do people have in these glandmagnet judges? Check out the listings in the DC area:
6) In 30 days, nearly 4,000 (!!) homes have been put on the market and the median home price has fallen $139,000. 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.
7) Or maybe consider this metric? Searches for "lawyers" in the District of Columbia in the last two months.
8) DC area internet searches for "BleachBit," "Offshore bank," and "wipe hard drive" explode.
8) And how about this chart:: unemployment filings in DC.
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, Sen. Josh Hawley of MO has introduced a number of modernizing elements that would begin the process of turning the "rented" union voters under Trump to permanent MAGA.
11) As if DemoKKKrats weren't in bad enough shape, they are losing Indian-Americans.
12) The Federal Trade Commission prohibited people from holding memberships in or leadership positions in the American Bar Association. Good. Conflict of interest.
13) Not surprised: the MAGA team ran secret prep sessions with all nominees. There were 200,000 calls, donors and grassroots mobilized, and Trump personally threatened to primary anyone who opposed them.
14) Republicans in Congress are (supposedly) moving to repeal Nixon-era impoundment laws that will allow Trump legally not to spend money allocated by Congress. This is the unstated version of a line item veto.
15) In an AZ "swing voter poll" (very small sample) 100% supported Trump, Musk, DOGE. 100%.
16) Under the evil Rutabaga administration $151 million in Army food was diverted from soldiers for other uses.
17) Oh, speaking of Rutabaga, his chief strategist, Mike Donilon, 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.
18) Even though North Carolina voted for President Trump three times, it still had a slight DemoKKKrat voter registration edge. Last month alone Rs cut into the DemoKKKrat lead by 1600, 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, "venting at DemoKKKrats and fearing Trump," they are pulling back their cash. Gee, without that and all the government grift that DOGE is drying up, what will DemoKKKrats do?
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") may provide the best opportunity for Trump's legal team to squash the last hopes of the Deep State's bureaucracy.
20) DemoKKKrats conceded Trump and Musk are "running circles" around them online. What I've been saying. They are five steps behind.
21) Some DemoKKKrats are already turning on David Hogg (Lil' Hitler---what a scamp).
22) DOGE has invited "goldbug" senator Rand Paul to come along in the audit of Fort Knox. Unlike others, I believe the gold is there (no, Goldfinger didn't get it) and I believe that in current market valuations it's somewhere near $450 billion.
23) Relief and joy as volunteers help the Patriot Day (J6) prisoners get home.
IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS
24) Trump has fired 24 immigration judges.
25) Border czar Tom Homan said in the last 24 hours, only 229 people were even "encountered" by the Border Patrol, a number so low it hasn't been seen in decades. Under Rutabagta, 11,000 PER DAY were coming in.
26) The USDA is not twiddling its thumbs as other agencies cut, cut, cut. It has slashed $132 million and 78 ridiculous contracts.
IN TRANSOID NEWS
27) Jennifer Sey argues that the NCAA adopted a "toothless" policy regarding transoids in women's sports that does not fit with Trump's edict nor with the spirit of the law.
IN ECONOMIC NEWS
28) Taiwan Semiconductor is in talks to make chips in the U.S. to avoid tariffs. This is the way.
29) Here comes the BOOM. DOGE has found Social Security has 394 million eligible, but only 324 million U.S. citizens. So right there you have 70 million fraudsters, dead people, or illegal immigrants getting SS. Elon Musk says this may be the "Biggest fraud in history."
30) CITI's CEO Jamie Dimon launched into a profanity laced tirade against zoom meetings and employees reading their phones or not paying attention.
32) Over 11% of credit card debt is delinquent, the highest since 2011. The Rutabaga years finally caught up with people.
33) The persistence of coal shows the myth of the "green energy transition."
34) Jeff Bezos' Washington Compost backed out of running a $115,000 front page anti-Musk ad.
35) New York's coal-oven pizza legend Patsy Grimaldi, dead at 93.
IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS
36) The Hamas Murder Pirates released three more hostages, including an American.
37) President Trump is completely leaving the useless Euros out of the Uke talks with Pootie-poot.
38) Russkie forces "completely collapsed" a front and trapped three elite Uke brigades in a "cauldron." Meanwhile, Mediocre Britain says, darn it, THEY will put troops in. They have 100 guys ready to go . . . .
39) Javier Milei is in hot water after touting a crypto coin that crashed.
40) The world's first "gay Imam" was killed in a drive-by shooting shortly after performing a "lesbian wedding." Guess that tolerance/rainbow thing isn't taking hold in the Islamic world?
41) China's "Salt Typhoon" telecom hacking program is still going on.
42) Twenty-one courageous Christian martyrs beheaded by ISIS 10 years ago are honored in a new film. Reminder: it was Donald Trump in his first term who ended ISIS. Not Israel, and not the Excrement Union. Trump.
IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS
43) "Captain America: Brave New World" did a healthy $192 million four-day open, placing it up there with "Ant-Man, Quantumania." Still, at a budget of probably $250 million, the movie will need to gross about $550 million to break even. Certainly not impossible, but what will word of mouth be?
44) Looks like Bill Murray is bringing "Lost in Translation"'s love affair with a much younger woman to life. Guess he patterns himself as the next Bill Belichek.
IN CHINA VIRUS NEWS
45) JAMA the medical Journal of the American Mutilation Association, has attacked President Trump and RFK's vax policy. Time to restore the "Four Pillars" of American childhood vaccines.
46) Last week I had the story of J.D. Vance's relative, a little girl, denied a heart transplant at an Ohio hospital cuz she wasn't vaxxed. Now they are denying a 54 year old veteran a transplant for the same stupid reason.
AND FINALLY . . .
47) See, those horrible men. They can't do anything right. First they create AI "girlfriends" because they don't like modern feminist tattooed blue-haired fat toadhoppers. Now they are getting violent and abusing AI girlfriends (who can't feel it). So will they get arrested by AI police and have to go into AI anger management?
