If you want deeper political analysis three times a week, check out my Larry Schweikart Substack and subscribe. It includes a video podcast three times a week following "Today's News" that dives deeper.
IN POLITICAL NEWS
1) In MI's DemoKKKrat Senate Primary, NBC called the race for the radical Muslim Abdul El-Sayed, drawing a great breath of excitement from R Mike Rogers, who now would be the favorite in that race. Among other reprehensible things El-Sayed has said was that America deserved 9/11. Oh, and polling? With a final margin of under 1, the pollsters had El-Sayed up 10. You listening, TX? The narrow nature of Sayed's victory, combined with former "Squad" member Cori Bush's primary loss in MO, suggests the DemoKKKrat Terror Party establishment has rallied. But not enough in MI. Also, more good news, Trump hater Cong. Shri Thanedar just got beat in a primary.
2) Just when you think the DemoKKKrats can't get any more bad news, NH did a voter roll maintenance and not only did Rs gain another net 4,000 over Ds, but indies, who are a large part of the vote, lost 25,000. I think Sununu's chances in the NH senate race just got better. In WY, Rs in this deeply red state net gained 300 more. Likewise Rs in W VA added a net of 800.
3) Do you remember the DemoKKKrat 2024 "autopsy" that DNC Chairman Ken Martin reportedly withheld for nearly a year? It now appears he took out a chapter on "What Happened in 2024" that said that there was a greedy DemoKKKrat consultant class (shocked, I tell ya! Thank God the Rs don't have anyone like that); that Rutabaga should have left earlier; and that the DemoKKKrats have lost key voting blocks. But the DemoKKKrat Fascist DSA types yell "Nyet! We're fine."
4) More than 15 Trump backed candidates won their primaries. I think the total number now is around 85 or more Trump endorsees who have won., with only a single loss. To my knowledge, no president in history has had such a record of endorsement success.
5) More declassified docs show the FBI was up to its balding hairlines in a conspiracy to overthrow President Trump in his first term.
6) Jeff Childers notes that while the Hoax News media continues to blame "climate change" for wildfires, a number seem to have human elements, that is, nutjob psychopath criminals who like setting fires. Such is the case in the Spokane, WA man who set the fires there. In UT, last month, it was a crazy man. Or the LA whackstacker who used a "flamethrower" to start fires. But don't let that get in the way of CNN reporting on fires started by "climate change."
7) Sorry Europe: President Trump has found better allies in Asia.
8) The DOJ continues to roll up the fraud rings, this time in Philly where 19 were charged in a $4 million Medicare/Medicaid fraud ring.
9) Didn't see this coming. Embattled Cong. Max Miller (R-OH) has asked for a House Ethics Committee investigation of his actions as alleged by his ex wife. My guess is that now he survives as a candidate, and I move his chances now back to "Tossup" where a month ago he was a lock.
10) Aaaannnnd we may have another assassination attempt, as a man named "Jeanie" was found prowling around Trump National Golf Course in CA just before Trump was supposed to be there. Said "Jeanie" had a gun with hollow-point bullets. I'm sure he was just shooting weeds. And FBI Director Kash Patel says the Bureau foiled over 700 terror attacks last year.
11) Andrea Streb details how the evil Rutabaga administration cut major Wall Street firms on the big green grift.
13) President Trump signed an executive order creating the Military Spouse Commission to improve care of military families. This was needed.
14) A former WWE wrestling star, now mayor, nixxed a $1 million plan to install hundreds of "Flock" cameras across his county. The public isn't tolerating these cameras. All eight of Winona, MN's cameras were cut down and stolen.
IN AI NEWS
15) And here . . . we . . . go! "AI Skills More Valuable Than MBA, Survey Shows." So just one more reason not to go to college.
17) The ChiComs are serious about AI. Their dangerous DeepSeek now is running faster than Anthropic and costs $.3 to run through a battery of tests compared to Kimi K3, another ChiCom outfit, which costs $.86 to do the same tests and Claude $3.15.
18) Jim Kuypers argues that AI is not replacing jobs so much as rewriting them.
IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS
20) A federal court handed President Trump a victory by upholding the right of ICE agents and federal LEOs to wear masks, slapping down New Kabul (NYC).
21) New numbers from ICE say it arrested over 51,000 in July. That's 612,000 a year. If self-deportations match or exceed---which it seems they do---the U.S. will have shed over 1.2 million illegals in a year. In addition, Fed officers took over 800 illegal alien truckers off the roads in Operation Highway.. No relation to Gunny Highway.
IN CULTURAL NEWS
22) Social media site "MySpace" with its five favorite friends is making a comeback. Here are the "Afters" with "MySpace Girl."
23) Ah, New Azteca (LA) is such a fine city. It now has typhus rats.
IN TRANSOID NEWS
24) Heartbreaking and necessary, as children's hospitals have started offering "restorative" care to kiddos whom these butchers disfigured and deformed with their kookball transoid surgeries.
25) The 11th Circuit Ct. has revived FL's ban on kiddos going to drag shows.
IN ECONOMIC NEWS
26) This is funny. The stock price chart of Paramount looks just like Donald Trump's signature.
27) A heavy metals rare earth plant in UT---wait this is not a "Heavy Metal Rare Earth" plant---boosts U.S. supply chain independence.
28) Salads to Go drive through restaurants filed for Ch. 11 bankruptcy and have closed all locations. The company blames the high cost of vegetable and meat items and overexpansion. I think the latter is a major part: they went up quickly, and everywhere.
IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS
29) Many of the more than 70,000 illegal invaders that swarmed Cueto, Spain last week are still there and the Spanish government is straining to handle them.
IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS
30) "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" continues to dominate in theaters, grossing over $1 billion in less than a week. I saw it Monday night, liked it a great deal (only about 30 people at the 5:30 show, but they must have had 20 showings). Here is my review thread on X.
IN MEDICAL NEWS
31) Randy Paul has been great on going after the evil Dr. Fallacy, and now has released the contempt resolution ahead of the vote. It sure would be nice if he spent that much energy on the SAVE act.
32) Rutabaga's Covid Czar now admits the China Virus was a lab leak. A prominent microbiologist weighed in as well, saying Fauci and his "fraudsters" have "lost control of the narrative. Even star QB for the Pittsburgh Stealers, Aaron Rodgers, answered a question and said "I plead the fifth" and called Dr. Fallacy an "absolute coward."
33) While not the most important result of the public disclosure of Dr. Fallacy's files, this is up there, pee wee: Jeffrey Tucker correctly asks, "What else are they hiding from us?"
AND FINALLY . . .
34) The world's first anteater reintroduction appears to be succeeding in Brazil. I think there might be a use for these fine animals in local pest control.
