IN POLITICAL NEWS

1) Along with Sarah Huckabee Sanders, probably the greatest White House Press Secretary ever, Karoline Leavitt, is stepping down to be with her young kids. She's been in office over a year and a half, and that job is probably the most unrewarding in all of D.C.

2) Nahhh. Nuthin' wrong with this guy. Abdul El-Sayed practices sharia law in his "personal" life. Yeah, till he gets in the senate. Then YOU'LL practice sharia law. But wait! It gets worse: the slimy DemoKKKrat Fascist MI senatorial candidate, the rectalmuffin El-Sayed, while he was "health commissioner" (Yikes) was responsible for kill ONE-QUARTER of all dogs euthanized in the entire nation in 2015.

3) Not worth a header yet, but we have a lot of crime news. Almost a police blotter: DOJ has found "decades" worth of sexual misconduct in Kollyfornia women's prisons. Oh, and the DOJ also charged the ugly CEO of the Poverty Lawfare Center (SPLC) with fraud. Nice! And more! The DemoKKKrat mayor of Lawrence, MA was arrested for stealing $1.6 million in China Virus funds. The owner of an empty adult daycare billed Medicaid $32 million while, gee, just managing to donate to Gov. Hock-a-lugie and other DemoKKKrats. Five current and former TX city officials, including the Refugio mayor, have been arrested for fraud related to an Economic Development Corporation. Bill Gates's daughter faces jail time over phony sales she did not drive, but took percentages from. A NV judge has tossed charges out against six of the NV alternate electors in the 2020 election. Finally. And for the one millionth time, they are not "fake" electors. They are constitutionally approved ALTERNATVE electors. A judge struck down "decades old" gun and silencer restrictions. And finally, a Republican OK state senate candidate was found dead inside a bullet-riddled truck. And we'll have still more stories related to fraud investigations and arrests below in economic news.

4) The Demonic Dominion of MA will now allow abortions up to childbirth. Actual baby murder is incoming in 3 . . . 2 . . . 1

5) The National Academies of Science had to remove a "climate change" chapter from its reference manual on scientific evidence---cuz there ain't much.

6) Gee, someone likes The Punisher, Pete Hegseth as recruitment in all five service branches hit its targets months early.

7) I love it. The board of the Kennedy-Trump Center restored Trump's name.

8) Jeff Childers dives into the FBI op "Round River" that broke people down into "conduits" for Russkie influence who were to be discredited, such as Rudy Guiliani, and "targets" like the Demented Perveret Rutabaga and the demonic George Soros to be protected. Oh, and those "informants" who said something was fishy with Russia? Up to 53 of them were under "foreign control" according to Kash Patel.

9) Harvard is in bed deep with the ChiComs, finding over 140 papers "co-authored" with the ChiCom military.

IN AI NEWS

10) Me waiting for the AI crash, as NVIDIA lines up a half trillion dollars in new financing.

11) Nearly one in six Americans have acted on AI medical advice without talking to a human doctor. To be fair, I guess AI can say "take the China Virus vax" or "Take two aspirin and call me in the morning" as well as Dr. Patel can.

IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS

12) Here is a Fifth Circuit Court victory for Trump in one of the Tren de Arugala cases.

13) The feds busted one of the largest sham marriage fraud schemes in history, with over 1000 mostly Chinese involved.

14) The State Department has created a task force specifically focused on "birth tourism." If the Supes won't help, we'll do it ourselves.

15) Human smuggling profits have crashed after Trump's crackdown on illegals.

16) The old two steps forward, one step back as an appeals court handed Trump a victory in using the Alien Enemies Act to deport the criminal muffinsnuffers.

24) There is a big rare earth metal discovery in NV, but claiming it will be tough because NASA has sequestered over 17 miles for "calibrating satellites" and other instruments. Seriously.

25) Elon Musk is now "leaning into" fossil fuels.

IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS

26) India has ordered drug tests for all pilots.

IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS

27) "Supergirl" failed so hard that DC canceled four other girl-boss projects. Meanwhile, "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" already hit over $1.7 billion and will certainly gross over $2 billion, meaning it made at least a billion dollars in profit. Oh, and "Young Washington" hit $46 million meaning that it is hovering on profitability with its $20 million production budget.

28) What is happening with the Women's National Lesbian Basketball Association (WNBA) in terms of their inability to define a woman is far more entertaining than any product they put on court. Here is their most recent attempt, which, as Jennifer Say notes, "says nothing."

29) Rising Australian golf star Jessica Bang, dead at 18 after a barin hemorrhage.
