IN POLITICAL NEWS

1) The whole story about Trump's "no-bid" fountain rennovation was, as always, completely fabricated. He gave out a "no-bid" contract because ONLY ONE company could compete the bid by the 4th of july. I am so sick of the liars on the left that the old tongue/finger removal technique needs to be reinvestigated.

2) Not quite a total victory but close in the Voting Rights Act, which the majority essentially redefined in a way that the states can redistrict without regards to race. It did not completely throw out the VRA, though. Still Rs should gain a few more redistricted seats. Alito wrote, Justice Johnny, Kegger, and ACB all in the 6-3 majority. If you listen to DemoKKKrats (Rush Limbaugh, "They will tell you who they fear"), Justice Kagan said the VRA is "dead." Oh, and in ANOTHER Supe win, the Court just kicked transoidism off the passports.

3) A state representative in NC becomes just the latest DemoKKKrat to abandon the Party of Terror for the GOP. This is all going on one direction, away from DemoKKKrats. But, "they're gonna win everything," right? And yet we have yet another NC DemoKKKrat that is flipping parties.

4) Not a fan of John "Can't Carry a" Thune, but for all his failures, he HAS gotten Trump nominees confirmed---97 more in one fell swoop last night.

5) Some view former AG Pam Bondi as a failure. Others, such as myself, think that her work in the courts, against the hardened violent aspects of the illegal immigrants, and via Harmeet Dhillon against DEi was excellent. But there is a third view that she was, in fact, conducting a necessary reorganization and foundational preparation for the next phase, which started upon her removal. At any rate, we certainly are seeing change. First, an actual arrest warrant---not a court summons---was served on James (Scrotumtoter) Comey. Yes, we will have a mugshot. See below for a senior advisor to Dr. Fallacy who was arrested. Did a flare go up? "Amaze. Amaze. Amaze."

6) There is a pretty good argument here that blue states are "bad-policy-ing" their way into electoral oblivion, with massive out-migration.

7) The Senate confirmed Lt. Col. Matthew Lohmeier, whom Rutabaga fired for outing DEI inside the Pentagon, as Secretary of the Air Force. Now, that's a comeback.

8) He's not there yet, but my friend Seth Keshel is moving in my direction that the midterms will not be a GOP loss at all. He says it's 75/25 if FL redistricts and if the court nixes VA's redistricting and could move closer to 50/50. I think if both those happen, it's about 75/25 GOP win. This poll---and I don't trust any polls---should terrify Ds. This far out? They should be up 10. Instead, the generic ballot is tied for the House. Here is another reason I think long-term the DemoKKKrats are screwed. NC had already moved from D+175,000 to R+10,000 in five years. Now NC discovered 34,000 dead people on the voter rolls. Wanna bet 33,000 of them are DemoKKKrats? Then in W VA, a "wave" of switchers from D to R (16,000).

9) Illicit Mullah Omar is as stupid as she is criminal. She read "WW II" as "World War Eleven." Idiot brother-marrier. Then in LA, the Supreme Court there suspended the law license of another brilliant jurist, Tanzanika Ruffin for stealing $250,000 from a client's family. Wait, I thought that was called "a retainer?"

10) Secretary of War, the Punisher Pete Hegseth, has launched a campaign fore the first "clean audit" of the Pentagon in decades.

11) Remember "Fire Aid?" You know, that celebrity "we-don't-want-to-give-our-own-money-but-we'll-use-yours."? One victim looked into this and found that of the supposed $100 million none of it got to actual victims of the fire. Most went to NGOs and some went to the Oleaginous Butyracewous Gruesome.

IN AI NEWS

12) Shocked, I tell ya. AI is inherently DEI, as it praises essays by black students more than whites, while essays by whites or Hispanics received more corrections.

13) OpenAI, missing its own projections for new users and revenue, has outstanding commitments of $1.5 trillion and as of now no evidence that the revenues can even remotely meet those.

14) This ClaudeAI-powered backup went rogue and deleted an entire company's database as well as the backups. In nine seconds.

IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS

15) Told ya they weren't finished with New Somalia, as the FBI and other government agencies are raiding multiple locations in MN suspected of fraud. These, of course, were the "Learing Centers."

IN ECONOMIC NEWS

16) Shell Oil is betting big on gas and oil with the purchase of a Canadian shale company.

17) President Trump's nominee for the Fed, Kevin Warsh, has been confirmed.

18) Kollyfornia's useless high-speed rail to nowhere now has a price tag of $231 billion and has earned the label "worst project in history."

19) The capital efficiency rate in Chy-na has plummeted while that of the U.S. has steadily and sharply increased.

20) The DoJ just sued Cloudera for rigging high-tech jobs against Americans.

21) AP baffled as consumer sentiment rises.

22) A newly-discovered lithium cache in Appalacia could power 130 million EVs---if they're still a thing by the time it comes on line. Meanwhile, the ChiComs are hurt once again as they lose their lithium dominance.,

23) Buffalo Wild Wings restaurants are rolling out no-seating/no-waiter restaurants in what see as a possible trend.

IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS

24) Despite a few of the preditable sources proclaiming doom and gloom with Iran, the latest level-headed analysis shows why Iran is done and dusted. They can't sell their oil; their "solutions" for storing oil they can't sell is to put it in junk tankers (think of the scene in "Avengers: Age of Ultron"), and the notion they will simply ship oil to Chy-na via rail is beyond stupid.

25) The United Arab Emirates is leaving OPEC. Meanwhile, Qatar says it's done with Hamas and will no longer "sponsor" the group.

26) Israel has renamed streets after Trump. In Lebanon, this giant poster appeared: "Thank God You're Safe, Big Guy"

27) Chy-na's real estate market just crashed to a 20 year low. Things haven't been this bad in Chy-na since "Rush Hour 2."

28) Just the latest collapse of the Yellow BRICS road, as India now is backing out and rejected overtures to trade in any currency except the dollar.

29) Thanks to Javier Milei, Argentina is thriving like never before.

30) Just the latest death-blow to the Climate Change hoax, as these scholars find absolutely no indication of temperatures affected by humans. Now, the Reptilians? They may require a different study.

31) Meanwhile, the hypocritical Euros banned Russkie LNG---then bought more of it than any time in history. World War I and II make complete sense now. These people are idiots.

32) Over 50 Hezbollah commanders were rendered "virgin-ready" by an IDF bombing strike.

33) Remember the Bondi Beach shooting in Australia where one of the guys yelled Allahu Snackbar? Yeah, a benefit concert for victims was canceled when a choir for the event refused to sing with a Jewish choir.

34) A woke Canuck judge blocked the deportation of an Indian truck driver who killed 16 hockey players in a crash.
