About this Episode
IN POLITICAL NEWS
1) First Richard Baris said it, then Mark Mitchell of Rasmussen said it, now Robert Cahaly of Trafalgar says that Hoax Polling is pushing a false narrative to pressure Congress. Mitchell described modern polling as a joke, showing that the "major" polls had President Trump "declining" 11 points then miraculously recovering. This came as CNN's data analyst---who is ok, if a tad late on everything---Harry Enten said if the election were again held today, President Trump would win. Heck, I think he'd add NH and NJ to his electoral total today.
2) A 25% tariff on all imported auto parts went into effect Saturday.
3) Me-hee-co foolishly refused Trump's offer of military support against the cartels. That's because Mexican President Claudia Scheinbaum is owned by the cartels.
4) DOJ sued the city of Denver over its "sanctuary city" status. Good. Break every one of these rotpiddlers. Oh, and Harmeet Dhillon at the DOJ's Civil Rights Division opened an investigation into Hennepin Co., Minnesota for civil rights violations against whites in its hiring policies. As I said, break these mofos.
5) A focus group of black voters tell a shocked CNN they have no regrets about voting for President Trump.
6) P.O.D.: "We are the youth, the youth of the nation!" Gen-Zers make up 1/3 of X's audience,.
7) DemoKKKrats continue to flounder about like rabid fish, with a former aide to Botoxic blasting House DemoKKKrat leader Hakeem Jeffries for "squandering" anti-Trump opportunities. Gee, is this racist? And as they flop about, they are "open" now to another run by Cackles. Gosh, I don't know that the news this year can get any better. Just the latest from the "moderate" wing, as, while trying to put the best spin possible on the data, Nate Moore notes that "congressional dysfunction could play an outsized role in determining who controls Congress next year." He cites this as reason that Michael Bennett (D-CO), Marsha Blackbfurn (R-TN), and Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) are joining those senators who already announced they won't run again (Jeanne Shaheen, D-NH, Gary Peters, D-MI, Yertle, R-China, Tina Smith, D-MN, and Dick Turban, D-IL). Bennett will leave his senate term early. This has to be greatly concerning to Ds in particular, as this was to have been a strong year for them, yet now they have to defend five seats more that they did not expect to have to fight for.,
8) Another Trump court win as an appeals court overturned a judge's ruling that the Voice of America fired employees had to be restored. WINNING. And more winning here as the National Endowment for the Spoogistic Arts has begun terminating grants.
9) A mob of Georgia fecalthugs aged 5-14 (in FIFTH GRADE??) beat up a seven year old on a bus and the brilliant and courageous bus driver neither intervened nor called for help but calmly kept driving to the school. Anyone wanna guess what the payout on this lawsuit is?
10) Senator Jodi Ernst, head of the Senate DOGE committee, found that many U.S. gubment employees are doing union work on the gubment's dime.
11) It's all coming out now. Yet another new book says Rutabaga's aides refused to let him take a cognitive test in February 2024 on grounds that just taking the test would make him seem incompetent.
12) What the hell is wrong with these pilots? They should be immediately dismissed from service, as the pilot of an Apache helo caused two "near misses" in D.C. because the unnamed pilot (another she??) "took the scenic route."
IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS
13) In a story about a man who raped a corpse (not Rutabaga) in the New York subway (not a New York Subway), the New York Slimes seemed to have missed that he was an illegal criminal alien.
14) Jeff Childers says that FL AG James Uthmeier has set up the fed district courts for a Supe showdown over whether states can enforce illegal criminal alien immigration laws.
15) President Trump has directed fed agencies to reopen Alcatraz prison, you know, just in case we need to hold some of these illegal criminal gangbangers while awaiting the Supes to get off their asses.
16) President Trump is working on a deal with that lovely garden spot Rwanda for deportees to go there.
IN CULTURAL NEWS
17) Can universities be fixed? Roger Kimball is skeptical, saying "If reaIf real change is going to come to academic culture, criticism must be ceaseless, pointed, and deep." 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 could 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.
IN TRANSOID NEWS
18) Following in the footsteps of Mediocre Britain---and you won't hear me say that much---the U.S. Health & Human Services released a study showing that the medical case for mutilating children is extremely weak and previous research has been deeply flawed.
IN ECONOMIC NEWS
19) Interior Secretary Doug Burgum toured an oil rig in the Gulf of America and noted that Rutabaga banned development there.
20) The DOJ has filed suit against Medicare Advantage brokers and dealers for accepting kickbacks. What? It's the "Washington Way."
21) Texas has approved Elon Musk's "Starbase" site.
22) A former Bush official claims da gubment built an "underground city" for the rich at a cost of $21 trillion. That's a network, supposedly, of 170 underground bases for an "extinction level event." I suppose this guy was in charge?
IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS
23) Trump tweaked the "de minimus" tariff on Chy-na basically roping in Temu, who has completely shifted its business model now.
24) Xi is attending Moscow's "Victory Day" events, and Pootie-poot already warned the Ukes that any attack on Moscow at that time would likely draw Chy-na into the conflict.
25) In Mediocre Britain Labour is panicking as it seems immigration has finally become an issue. Gee, can't imagine why. Portugal also apprently got the message, kicking out 18,000 illegals prior to their national election. Why? I thought there was no problem---that illegals really never voted.
26) Trump will impose a 100% tariff on movies from foreign countries. While I have no problem with this, it won't achieve what he wants, which is a rebirth of Hollywood, whose problems come from woke, from and astounding lack of imagination and continuation of sequels, prequels, spinoffs, and brand series---not truly new stories---and from escalating budgets in part due to CGI. Meanwhile, this article argues that "Trump's tariffs may drive Chy-na into depression." Yeah, that and communism.
27) Saudi Arabia has executed its 100th prisoner this year, most of them for drug charges.
28) Brazilian police arrested two people on charges of attempting to bomb a Lady Gaga concert. Folks, you don't need to do that. It bombs all by itself.
29) Contrary to the Hoax Climate Change narrative, Antarctic ice is expanding.
IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS
30) Jury selection begins today in the P. Diddley trial.
IN CHINA VIRUS NEWS
31) China Virus vaxxes likely killed more Americans than WW I and WW II combined.
AND FINALLY . . .
32) A $4 million Lamborgini luxury yacht flipped over near Miami beach, stranding 30 bikini-clad "influencers." So two questions. First, Lamborgini makes yachts now? And second, which of these two was piloting the ship?
