The News of Today is the History of Tomorrow
IN POLITICAL NEWS
1) Remember those polls that were pathetically wrong in WI and MI DemoKKKrat primaries? Yep, they're at it again. In FL, First, realize that since November 2024, Rs have net gained 429,000, pushing their statewide lead to 1.54 million. Again, a ways to go to catch the CA D lead of 4.1 million, but step by step. Meanwhile, It took FL virtually just overnight to count all its ballots. CA took 38 days. All the hype was on Veeta Vita Vindman, who got trounced by 12 points by Angie Nixon, no relation to Tricky Dick, and a hideous DemoKKKrat Fascist. What's the rub? Once again polls had Veeta Vita leading!! So that's a 13 point error at minimum. As Seth Keshel, linked above, noted, the margin of GOP/DemoKKKrat Terror Party was over 22 points (!!!). Seth sees the previously iffy FL-25, one of the key races, as now much better for the R. That would make two races in the last week that he would move in the R direction with Jay Feely in AZ1 looking better. And more good news. Corey Mills, who apparently went to the same sexual misbehavior school as Max Miller, lost his primary race in FL7, which, according to Seth, now makes it a much more likely R hold. The small windows of seats the Ds hoped are closing off rapidly. And the DemoKKKrat Civil War continues, as former DNC press secretary Jose Aristimuño is just the latest to support R Mike Rogers in MI. Meanwhile in AK, the DOJ has issued subpoenas into the role of DemoKKKrat race corruptor Daniel J. Sullivan who has tried to run as "Daniel S. Sullivan," the incumbent, to screw things up. But hey, how about if the DemoKKKrats hold a "summit" with Talcumpowder, Cackles, and Moonman Kelly? Except no one showed up. A disastrous embarrassment for the party of the youts. But MORE! It now appears that the DemoKKKrat in AK was deeply involved in the "Sullivan Show," and that Mary Peltola fired her campaign staff thinking they were directly involved.
2) Patrick Ruffini shows that polls have been hideous, but are even worse during the summer. All I know is that over the last three elections in OH, the pollsters are always off, usually by at least 4 points. They just can't measure OH or, I think, TX. But they missed FL, as noted above by 14 points and WI a while ago by over 11. Then there are just the purely fake polls, like the one New Azteca (LA) mayor Karen Ass used against her opponent.
3) Another investigation of a DemoKKKrat for having sexual relations with an aide. This jigglepickle is a pal of Eric "Farticus" Swalwell, who had resigned. Now new revelations say Farticus was receiving ChiCom campaign donations through his bang-bang, Fang Fang. Well, the FBI didn't forget. They caught him at Groomer City Airport and seized his cell phone and other records. Ok, so here is a prediction. The first "big name" to be arrested and convicted will be Farticus. Oh, and anyone remember Jill Stein? She tried to drag out Trump's 2016 victory with recounts long enough to cheat Cankles into office. She has been charged with assault and failed to show up in court.
4) Even some of the DemoKKKrat supporters, such as Noah Smith and Ruy Teixeira, have commented on the seeming inability of DemoKKKrat states to build anything. Think of the high-speed rail in Kollyfornia that connects two Juniper trees. Remember the container ship that plowed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge in March 2024? So the bridge is rebuilt, right? Knee-grow please. The state of MD just now re-opened the bidding process after the first DemoKKKrat-selected contractor, er, didn't work out. Now officials are saying the bridge won't be open til 2028 (!!). It took 16 months just to demolish the bridge because of the need for DEI contracts. And in the meantime, the budget more than doubled.
5) Still more treasonous behavior inside our government, as the NSA in 2020 blocked reports of ChiCom interference in the election from President Trump. ChiComs, not Russkies. Oh, speaking of ChiComs, the mayor of Arcadia, CA just resigned after a plea deal in which she admitted to acting as a ChiCom agent.
6) Kollyfornia should teach everyone that once petty tyrants are in control, they want to control every single aspect of your life. In CA, now there is a set of new rules outlining what tires you can put on your car if you have a flat. I envision a couple of Big O Tires setting up just across the border in Quartzite, AZ.
7) This stuff is all over the map, but this guy says that Trump completely reorganized key positions (including SecDef) in the administration in the 8 days after Rutabaga's "victory," essentially putting up a firewall to protect America from Rutabaga's excesses.
8) DOJ is restoring gun rights to over 30 million Americans currently prohibited from owning guns.
9) Trump announced more upgrades to the White House grounds including a helipad.
11) The putrid failed state of Kollyfornia is now banning the placement of plants next to houses as a "fire safe," because the state refuses to adopt real fire prevention policies. And the little demonic spoogies who live there just continue to go along.
IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS
12) Without much success, DemoKKKrat state legislatures have passed over 250 bills trying to prop up illegal criminal aliens.
13) An illegal criminal alien released by a Kollyfornia judge stabbed someone to death the next day. I think in these cases the judge ought to serve the rest of the sentence.
IN CULTURAL NEWS
14) President Trump's triumphal arch gained approval to begin construction.
15) A Groomer City (SF) school where 94% fail math has Cal Berkeley's highest acceptance rate. Of course they do.
IN TRANSOID NEWS
16) A mother and daughter attending the Indiana Fever-Atlanta Screaming Harpies WNBA game were approached by security in overtime and told their Jennifer Sey-designed "XX-XY" t-shirts supporting Sophie Cunningham were "offensive" and they were required to put on other shirts covering them or be escorted out. They stayed, as there were only a couple of minutes to play. The league issued a say-nothing statement in which it did not apologize.
IN ECONOMIC NEWS
19) Bill Rasmussen, the man who built ESPN into a sports giant from a credit card advance, dead at age 93. I wonder if he knew how quickly the toadpickers there would destroy the product?
22) Bots now make up half of all internet traffic.
23) President Trump extended the Jones Act waiver, allowing critical fuel and oil to reach U.S. markets easier.
24) While I do not pretend to know the ins and outs, it's pretty clear that Treas Sec Scott Bessent knows more than almost any other financial "expert" out there and is completely resetting the international monetary situation so as to grow our way out of debt.
IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS
25) The moronic Euros are doubling down on the latest non-oil fad, hydrogen.
26) Secretary of State Muy Macho Marco has issued new sanctions against the International Criminal Court for, well, being criminals.
27) According to CNN, Iran has lost control of the Strait of MAGA, er, Hormuz. Axios says a stealth op is moving almost as much oil through the Strait of MAGA as before the gentle nudge for the mullahs.
28) Meanwhile, Iran is flirting with total annihilation. It is now offering a $30,000 bounty for anyone capturing or killing a U.S. soldier. One of ours, 100 of theirs.
29) A new illegal criminal migrant invasion is headed to Cueto, Spain. So far the gubment of Morocco has arrested nearly 300. I think that's a few thousand short.
30) Not long before her death (now ruled an overdose), Hayden Panatierre spoke out against Neutrogena, after the company canceled its contract with her because she admitted to depression. Now the company's stock is crashing.
IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS
31) Great story here, as Megxit and the Ginger Duke are moving back to Mediocre Britain. Dunno if that Royals grift is still open to ya, pal. Cuz she certainly can't earn any money.
32) Two Milwaukee rappers were killed in a daylight shooting in their recording studio. Darned Amish at it again.
33) "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" now has topped $2 billion internationally. So, this forces me to reassess "Avengers: Doomsday." First, I think many of the trailers have been wild goose chases, and that Fiege and the Russos have a much more logical plot than some have speculated. Second, given SMBND's performance, I'm now estimating "Doomsday" will hit over $1.5 billion in its first week, and head for probably $3 billion theatrical and foreign before streaming.
IN MEDICAL NEWS
34) One of Dr. Fallacy's right hand jabbers, David Morens, plead guilty to conspiring to evade public records laws and conceal government documents related to grant research funding and the COVID-19 pandemic. Morens also admtted to taking bribes from the vax-crazy Eco Health Alliance. Then Katherine Herridge unearthed a memo from Fallacy Fellow Fool Michael Osterholm, who sent a message to Fallacy saying he wasn't using his government email so as to "avoid any FOIA issues." First, evil little chodeclipper, we got your stupid message anyway. Second, this shows how they knew much of what they were doing was illegal. And what were they talking about? The stupid face diapers, which Osterholm admitted were useless and had no scientific support. And this was the same exact time that the gubment was strong-arming Facebook, Youtube, and other obedient outlets to ban Sen. Rand Paul due to him saying exactly that.
35) Oh nooooo, Mr. Bill. Kindergarten vaccine exemptions jumped, though not nearly as much as you think from the harum-scarum headline.
36) When a nurse blew the whistle on a TX hospital for kiddo mutilations, the FBI investigated . . . her.
37) Correct: the real China Virus scandal is bigger than Dr. Fallacy. It's about the illicit gain-of-function research we've been engaging in for way too long.
38) The choices men have to make. A new erection med can make you go blind. So the old wives' tales were true? Meanwhile, Moderna announced a new cancer vax, and its stock shot up.
AND FINALLY . . .
39) Last week Mrs LS insisted we needed to go to Buckee's in Goodyear, AZ. It was impressive---a good 25-50 gas pumps, wall-to-wall people. Anyway, now Buckees is involved in a battle with Beavercreek, OH, over the beaver logo.
