The News of Today is the History of Tomorrow
IN POLITICAL NEWS
1) President Trump is threatening to remove crime from other major cities by sending in the National Guard. Naturally, DemoKKKrats oppose this. I say again, this is the party of death. Of course, "Let's Go Brandon" Williams, the mayor of Benghazi-by-the-Lake (Chicago) doesn't want to ruin his peaceful and bucolic sanctuary that saw 35 people shot, five killed in the Labor Day weekend just through Sunday. New Mogadishu (Minneapolis) is probably on Trump's list. The police chief there says that without federal support, they couldn't do a thing about crime, implying that the DemoKKKrat mayors and the Prancing Gheyboy, Tampon Timmy, were of no assistance. And, to no one's surprise, a new Harvard-Harris poll shows Trump gaining ground on the crime issue. And as this report shows, DemoKKKrats agree their party is in trouble, but they think it's because they haven't been bold enough in advancing bat-guano policies.
2) Despite the jerkweed judges attempting to halt Trump's tariffs, he says "The Tariffs are STILL IN PLACE." Good. Ignore these spoogerods.
3) Trump also will issue an executive order requiring ID to vote. "No exceptions." Talk about cutting off both the Black Knight's legs!
4) Big gains for Rs in New Mexico, 500 for the month of August after gaining 600 in July. NM is slowly moving to Rs, but a long way to go. In 2 years, though, NM will be be dead even. Even as there was a special election loss in IA, the state got even redder. As Seth Keshel shows, IA was just a low, low, low turnout. There were fewer total ballots than the Republican had votes in 2022. Oh, and TX Governor Greg Abbott signed the new TX redistricting map, likely handing the GOP five more seats and removing Jazzy What-a-Crock-ett from her seat.
5) If Jazzy is a disgusting human being, what about that inbred Jihadist Illicit Mullah Omar, who claims she isn't rich despite a net worth of $30 million? You heard me right.
6) There may have been a time, in a galaxy far, far, away, when DemoKKKrats were smart about elections. Thank God, no more. At their summer Minneapolis meeting (irony?), they insisted they were not going to make any changes and that migrant crime and carjackings “don’t matter to that many Americans.” Thank you, you idiot spoogepellets. Thank you for going extinct.
7) This author argues that it was the lockdowns that caused a surge in black deaths in 2020, not the po po or George (methhead) Floyd's death.
8) Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has fired 24 incompetent FEMA employees for a security breach.
9) Two Kollyfornia parents are suing ChatGPT over their son's suicide, saying the AI encouraged him.
10) Voice of America, like the rest of the U.S. government, will shed workers.
11) In my Larry's Substack today, I review the men and women who made America, from creating the bra to popularizing iced drinks to the fashioning the Colt .44. Now, David Blackmon has a different take: the green-transition movement is to a large degree targeting women and the labor saving devices that have freed women from much household drudgery.
12) Rudy Guiliani was injured in a car crash after he had stopped earlier to help a domestic violence abuse victim.
IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS
13) The mayor of Benghazi-by-the-Lake, "Let's go Brandon" Johnson issued an executive order to city officials not to cooperate with ICE or President Trump's national guard deployment. Hmm. Isn't this called obstruction of justice? Aiding and abetting murders? I'd put this lying pishpusher in the deepest dungeon I could find.
14) Illinois Governor Porky Pritzker said that removing illegals would affect elections. Yep, porkster. That's the goal.
15) Beautiful: HUD secretary Scott Turner has just booted illegals out of Section 8 public housing. No housing without valid ID. But since it's just a request for data, housing managers can't refuse and can't sue.
IN CULTURAL NEWS
16) This is good news. More public schools are closing. Broward, FL, is looking at closing 34 schools, while up in Orlando, Orange school district lost 7,000 students last year. The combination of lockdowns---which exposed what schools were teaching---the expansion of voucher systems, and the declining birth rate may put most gubment institutions out of business or make them a minority. Then our kids might learn something again. At present though, they appear hopeless: nearly half of American schools engage in "grade equity," which is to say racism and classism and, well, lies, telling students they are achieving when they aren't. How are schools responding? First they make no connection to woke school boards. Second, they hire consultants. Here in Arizona, we've seen ads for public schools. I'll repeat that: ADS FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS. Meanwhile, private schools invest in new facilities (not more administrators). Trump has warned 40 public schools that if they keep transoid and crazy gender lessons in their curriculum, they'll lose $81 million in federal money. Honestly, I'd just as soon they keep those programs and just go broke.
17) Colleges and universities are "struggling" because Trump's policies are taking away all their international students. Not one foreigner should get into an American college so long as one qualified American is denied.
18) About time. House Rs are probing Wikipedia for bias. They won't have to look far.
IN ECONOMIC NEWS
19) Exxon-Mobil is bullish on oil & natural gas.
20) Services not related to tariffs spiked in price, while durable goods that were related to tariffs fell in price.
21) A humorous but accurate piece about the no-service industry in America. Seriously, service as we used to know it is dead. The author notes the constant demands for names, phone numbers, emails. Or, to quote the line from the late, great Jon Pinette, "I just want to buy the toaster. I'm not adopting it." And by the way, if you steal from a self-checkout line, aren't you just paying yourself for your labor?
22) Earlier last week I noticed that Commerce Sec. Howard Luttnick, probably feeling left out by all the activist secretaries in Trump's cabinet, came out with two strong policies in a week's time. Now it's Sean Duffy, the Transportation Sec who has canceled $679 million in wind projects.
IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS
23) The deputy head of the German Police Union says the Huns are nearly lost, that there are no go cities, and that women are not safe. I'm going to make this prediction right now: I don't think a political solution to the Islamic invasion of Europe is possible. It will require a genuine Reconquista, and, yes, violence.
24) Two ChiCom warships collided chasing a nothingburger Philippine patrol ship, suggesting the ChiCom navy may have problems. Meanwhile, the ChiComs are pushing down the accelerator on coal production.
25) Mediocre Britain is begging Trump for help in its own stupid migrant crisis, as rapes by some mysterious unknown group have soared 438%.
26) This writer thinks the Russkies' goal in Ukraine is not to gain territory per se, but to eliminate any Ukrainian military, as a new report shows the Ukes have lost 1.7 million men.
27) Kier Starmer is dancing like Gregory Hines, trying to stave off a brewing insurrection in Mediocre Britain related to immigrant invaders. Speaking of which, the Wall Street Urinal is all excited that "right-wing" pols lead in the polls of all the major Euro countries. Irrelevant. Those nations mostly have proportional representation. For this to be meaningful, they'd have to have BIG leads that would give them a working majority. But back to Mediocre Britain, for a moment: they have not yet figured out that in addition to the migrant vs. English civil war they started, they have another one on their hands, Big Data/AI vs. greens. They are attempting to "conserve" their way out of this. Nope. AI sucks up energy and water faster than David Betamale sucks up campaign dollars. They cannot remotely conserve enough water, and so you will get the inevitable split between the Tech Bros and Greens to build desalinization plants.
28) Donald Trump III, er, Nayib Bukele, has celebrated El Salvador's 1,000th day without a homicide.
IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS
29) Lee Roy Jordan, the long-time star middle linebacker of the early Dallas Cowboy teams, dead at 84.
30) Beautiful Gabrielle Anwar, who played in "Scent of a Woman" (doing the tango with Al Pacino and in "Burn Notice" had a rough time with very serious bipolar issues. After years of finding the right medications and the right therapies, she now is focusing on being a good grandmother.
IN MEDICAL NEWS
31) Tylenol and Advil have been linked to antibiotic resistance.
32) How ironic. The walking bondage bucket from the CDC who just got canned says that now the "wall" between science and ideology has "completely broken down." No, ya evil little leather-clad loafer, it broke down with Covid and now RFK, Jr. is slowly restoring it. I cannot hate these people more.
33) The "Church of Safe Injection" for druggies in ME has been condemned.
34) The first peer-reviewed, population wide study of China Virus vaxes shows they increased the likelihood of cancer.
35) Biggest news of all on this slow news weekend, President Trump hits Truth with a vax post---saying that he relied on Pfizer data for the vax and that IF "Warp Speed" was "Brilliant," he's happy, but "if not WE ALL WANT TO KNOW ABOUT IT, and WHY??" (emphasis mine). I said a year ago that Trump would be tough to dislodge from his pro-vax position, but if and when he did, it would be along the lines of "I was lied to." Whoop! Dere it is.

AND FINALLY . . .
36) In Me-hee-co, researchers are dressing up dead pigs and burying them. They then observe the various decomposition signs (flowers grow, apparently) to establish models to find missing people. No, Mr. Scientist, Porky Pritzker ain't quite dead yet.
