IN POLITICAL NEWS
1) Not only have you not heard the end of this story, but it is just beginning. Matt Taibbi notes that the "Muh Russia" hoax was a coverup for Cankles. Yes, but it was also much more. It was a . . . say it with me kids . . . a COUP. And it will be proven as such. There are steps every day. Over the weekend a special counsel was named to look into Count Dooku (Jack Smith) for improper and political prosecutions. This Rasmussen poll shows 68% want accountability (i.e., arrests).
2) Spewmore tried to float this deal to Trump, that they would send through a limited number of nominees if Trump would agree to restoring some of the fraud/waste/abuse/hoax money from places like NPR and PBS. Trump told him to "go to hell." Remember, the phenomenal defunding of DemoKKKrats is likely one outcome they never imagined. It is making them desperate. Team Trump is burying the DemoKKKrats in fundraising, so far racking up $1.4 billion for the midterms
3) A very good judge, Aileen Cannon, has sealed all evidence in the second Trump attempted assassination case. Cannon cited "exceptionally grave damages to U.S. national security." This isn't good at all. It either means major infiltration at our highest levels or the involvement of a major foreign players. . . or both.
4) This author argues that Trump's approval rating in reality is at least 3 points higher than most "adults" polls because those polls are polling a lot of illegals. I think Trump's numbers are higher, but only because pollsters (even the good ones) STILL don't know how to poll Trump.
5) Just like NC, AZ, PA, NJ, and FL, OK is getting redder. The latest voter registration stats show Rs net gained 2,100 voters last month. Why is this important? It is continued, unbroken movement to the right nationwide in every state we can track. Oh, and TX (and OH) will be redistricting. DemoKKKrat rectalraccoons in the Texas House thought they'd leave to prevent a quorum, but TX AG Ken Paxton said they will be, according to legal precedent, be removed as members of the House (lowering the quorum). This is the way.
6) Grusome thinks he can do the same thing in Kollyfornia. We'll see. It would have to go to the voters. That is not a slam durnk. At the very least, the GOP could get a favorable court to put a restraining order on it til after the 2026 election.
7) GOP adviser Alex Castellanos notes that Trump has been so successful it's a problem for the GOP---that they risk the "let's tone it down now" attitude that sank Winston Churchill in 1946. I don't think so. I think a House majority is nearly a lock, especially if OH and TX redistict. Meanwhile, he is right. Trump's success has been spectacular, killing regulations at at 10:1 rate.
8) President Trump fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, who revised her OWN estimates for the last two months down, saying "nobody can be that wrong."
9) Republicans just gained 928 new voters in FL last month. Bad, huh? Er, no. DemoKKKrats LOST 10,402, giving Rs a NET gain of over 11,000. Meanwhile the trend continues as in New Jersey, Rs gained 1,600 while DemoKKKrats lost 2,400 for a net 4,000 gain for Republicans. The Federalist says that New York's voter rolls are a "disaster." If NY faces a purge like Kollyfornia did, Republicans could gain even more.
10) It's not AI, but it is an energy-related fracture in the Dems. In MD, a power grid crisis has sent prices flying as the state tried to run with goofy, non-energy-producing "green" nonsense and neglected its actual power grid. This will be replayed 100 times. And here is another example of how the DemoKKKrats absolutely lose the AI game; an AI center in WY uses more power than all the humans in the state combined.
11) Dan Bongino gave an FBI update in which yet another human trafficking ring was broken and people rescued.
12) I never trusted this guy, even when he supposedly "converted." (Rush Limbaugh didn't either, calling him "Chatsworth Osborne, Jr.". Now it's revealed that the Tuckster like all liberal journos sat on the Hunter Biteme laptop story.
13) The Trump Administration cancelled $26 million in funding for a MD "maglev" project. The administration also canceled all DEI mandates for hiring. (This author argues we have reached the "end of credentialism.") Fine with me, but understand this will add support for IQ and other tests, which are excellent predictors of success and/or intellect and ability to do a job.
14) The Senate confirmed Judge Jeanine Pirro as D.C. judge. Bring in the prisoners! One of the very worst things about Zero is that he never really went away after his presidency.
15) Now Rutabaga is copying him, and is in some kind of tiddlespicket war with Cackles. It's not clear if the Demented Pervert blames her for ousting him, or for losing the election. (HINT: He would have lost worse).
16) David Brooks, the so-called "conservative" on the New York Slimes, who never seems to have a real conservative position on anything, argues that the "crucial issue" of our time is that the failure of DemoKKKrats' big gubment didn't lead to Reagan-style smaller gubment but a different type of big gubment under Trump. This is so silly you wonder how even the Slimes can let this guy write. Trump is reducing the scope and size of gubment relative to the people in almost every way, from massive DOGE cuts (so far, the fed gubment is down 234,000---did Reagan do that? Nope) to moving the agencies into the heartland to invoking tariffs on foreigners vs. taxes on Americans. People, Brooks complained, don't like "instability." Yeah, duh. They don't like crime-ridden streets filled with homeless insaniacs or drunks or druggies. They don't like illegal criminal aliens swarming, taking jobs. And they certainly don't want "instability" when it comes to who is a man and who is a woman. And, just as I write this, Boston's "glitziest neighborhood" is now overrun with druggies and homeless clutterdumpers.
IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS
17) How Louisiana built Trump's biggest illegals deportation hub.
18) The DOJ has announced arrests of those who assaulted ICE agents.
19) Deporting the illegal criminal spoogemuffins is essential. Look at this VA district, where one quarter of the voters are not citizens.
20) Me-hee-co's president demanded immediate deportation of Mexicans kept at Gator Gitmo.
21) The NC House overrode the governor's veto of a law requiring local law enforcement to notify ICE when they release any illegal immigrant on a detainer and requires the locals to hold said illegal criminal for 48 hours til the feds pick him up. NOTE: This applies to every Juan.
IN CULTURAL NEWS
22) Here is a great list of 40 books for kids. Some are challenging, but all are worthy.
23) A judge has given the green light to the National Science Foundation to cease and desist all DEI grants.
24) A new wi-fi system can identify people behind walls. Talk about Christmas and a birthday for Peeping Toms!
25) UCLA lost $200 million due to its antisemitic policies.
IN TRANSOID NEWS
26) Jaguar's CEO is leaving after a transoid-oriented "rebrand" that used all sorts of weirdos in its ad. Jag sold 49 cars in all of Europe last month, compared to 2,000 the year before. With numbers like these, they should partner with the DemoKKKrat National Committee.
IN ECONOMIC NEWS
27) The percentage of 30-year-olds who do not own a house hits a new low.
28) More brilliance from Scott Bessent, as the Treasury quietly bought back long-dated debt (about $2 billion worth) that was selling at almost zero interest but which will come due with much higher interest later. Bonds that have a $100 par value will come due at $72 or $82 later.
29) Whales and fishermen breathe a sign of relief as Trump's plan to nix wind monsters comes into reality.
30) There is already a battle over AI's energy needs, which is killing the "green transition" nonsense. This battle may be harder: water. It seems AI guzzles water and in TX this is already becoming a problem. We need a crash program of desalinization plants.
31) Shocked! The CEO of Zillow home-listing service says mortgage rates are not the main problem with housing: it's under supply.
32) Tesla was fined $243 million for its role in an autopilot incident.
IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS
33) As per the Trump deal, the EU is suspending all tariff countermeaures.
34) Panama has moved to regain control of the ports at each end of the Canal.
35) A volcano erupted in Russia for the first time in 475 years, triggering a new tsunami. For those wishing to impose a "Revelation" template on these times, well, it certainly seems to fit.
36) A 20-year-old woman died on a bus in Brazil of a heart attack. Authorities found 26 iPhones taped to her body. Turns out this many iPhones can mess with your heart rhythms.
37) SpaceX took four astronauts to the International Space Station. Good. I fully support private space travel. But the United States should have the national capacity to do this easily by now.
38) A skills shortage threatens the EU's "renewables." Irena Slav notes that much of the "energy transition" build out requires electricians---who are disappearing. In England, for example, the "number of electricians had shrunk by more than 26% since 2018 and, to modelling, it could shrink by another 32% by 2038," The Euros are 40% short of where they need to be. This gap will grow as immigrants are given the heave-ho. And this story says it's even worse. When it comes to engineers, there were 130,000 vacancies in engineering and IT fields but there were 340,000 engineers and other STEM professionals set to retire by 2035. Or how about construction work, where 8/10 jobs go unfilled? Meanwhile, the U.S., has 700,000 electricians but has job postings for 18,000 more and 120,000 postings for cooks and is short 400,000 new engineers.. Note: in Europe at least, this was to have been handled by immigrants. Except most go to Europe not for work but for welfare. Oops.
39) India is balking at a tariff revision, so Trump has raised the tariff on India even higher. Prime Minister Modi better get his act together quickly.
IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS
40) I love this headline so much: the "Corporation for Public Broadcasting, funder of NPR and PBS, says it will end operations within months after federal budget cuts." To which the Bee Gees would sing "You should be dancin'."

41) I wasn't in love with Sidney Sweeny before, but am getting there. This girl can SHOOT. This author argues that Sweeny's ad has totally exposed woke. Well, yah, but apparently few of these companies care about money.
42) Justin Timberlake revealed a "debilitating" Lyme disease diagnosis.
43) "Superman" is summer fun, nothing more. David Corenswet is no Henry Cavill, but gets the job done. Enough James Gunn humor to not take itself too seriously. Hated Lois Lane. B.
44) Loni Anderson, who turned heads in "WKRP in Cincinnati" is dead at age 79. There were always "Jennifer Marlowe" and "Bailey Quarters" fans (Jan Smithers). Bailey was the "girl next door," and beautiful, but I was a "Jennifer" guy.
AND FINALLY . . .
45) A hot dog spill closed a PA interstate. I guess that made people bunned out. I don't think they relished the situation. Maybe if the cleanup crews put a little mustard on their work they could ket-sup. Still, to be frank, it put a lot of people in a pickle. .
