The News of Today is the History of Tomorrow
We are currently hard at work on this:

IN POLITICAL NEWS
1) BOOM SHAKA LAKA as AG Pam Bondi has unleashed the first special prosecutor, Ed Martin (no slouch) on NY AG Letitia James and Shifty the Human Lemur for mortgage fraud., Meanwhile, someone is afraid of what Ghislaine Maxwell may say, as the Feds have deployed a counter terrorism team to her TX prison due to death threats. Something tells me Maxwell won't "kill herself" like Epstein did. Meanwhile in the "Muh Russia" investigation, a smoking gun email connects Cankles to the Hoax. And as the info keeps rolling out, now Bill "Barrstool" Barr is tied to Fat Fani Willis and her RICO case against Trump.
2) Huge win for Trump in the Judge Boasberger contempt case. So basically Trump wins yet again. Thanks Pam Bondi/Solicitor Gen.
3) Big story here as the other day when President Trump threatened to take over policing of D.C.---and the Hoax News Media said, "WHY??? CRIME IS DOWN?"---Trump knew this: the D.C. police commissioner Michael Pulliam and his deputies downgraded felony reports to jimmy the crime stats to show a 26% drop. He has been place on leave.
4) President Trump has ordered a new census to exclude illegals. The Constitution just says a new census must be done "within" ten years, not every 10 years.
5) The FBI has agreed to help the state of TX chase down the fleeing DemoKKKrat carpetmonkeys return them to do their jobs.
6) Pete "The Punisher" Hegseth vows that the U.S. military will not be dependent on Chy-na or anyone else.
7) The TN national guard has been deployed to assist with ICE deportations.
8) Wow. Two days ago United Airlines grounded all 1,000 flights due to a technical problem with flight trackers.
9) Nebraska reports it may also redistrict, adding another potentially red seat.
10) Kollyfornia has been undergoing a massive voter roll purge, so far taking 3.1 million voters off the rolls. Stanislas Co. is now adding to that, removing 46,000 (or roughly 30,000 DemoKKKrats) off the rolls. Meanwhile, Seth Keshel did another voter registration update for battleground states of AZ, IA, NC, NH, FL, and NV. All moved further right since Nov., with Rs in AZ now up 328,000; Rs in NH up now over 10,000. In the three D-advantage states---PA, NC, NV---all have seen the margin close. NC (+175,000 in 2020) not just +17,000; PA at nearly a million D advantag a few years ago, now just 174,000 with a GOP lead in active voters now; and NV, the Nov. D lead has fallen by about 5,000. But the good news in NV is that the D lead in Clark continues to shrink. Oh, and FL? Now R+1.3 million, or a gain of 225,000 (!!) since November and an overall gain of nearly 2 MILLION since 2012..
11) Melania Trump got an apology from Ol' Serpent Head James Carville who insinuated she was in the Epstein list of call girls. Good move by the Ragin' Cajun to abort a lawsuit.
12) Seth Keshel argues that a new census can be done, and that it will be "ugly." The court battles will require Trump's team to show that the Founders had no intention of letting in armies of aliens from a bordering narco-state to run our elections. He also notes that and census changes must ruthlessly hit red states (such as AZ) that may have had inflated numbers due to illegals instead of just cherry-picking states.
13) Vivek Ramaswamy leads in the first polling of the OH governor race. It's a D internal poll and there are a lot of undecideds. Very good poll for him.
14) Trump fired the IRS commissioner, and replaced him with Scott Bessent. This is a common practice for Trump 2.0, letting those who can, do. Rubio and Ed Martin both have multiple jobs. You know what they say, "If you need something done, give it to a busy man."
15) After the China Virus exposed Arizona's public schools as cesspools, now many are closing. And yes, private schools, charter schools, and homeschools are thriving.
16) I think this is what most of us thought would happen in February, but it's certainly happening now. TX AG Ken Paxton has launched an investigation into a Soros-connected PAC.
17) Planned Murderhood is abandoning Louisiana after fed funding dried up.
18) A new Trump executive order will reduce federal grants. Jeff Childers thinks this is sooooo much more. "a death blow to the entrenched grant-industrial complex." The new orders require broader representation of newer proposals (not the same people at the grant-industrial trough), clear language that does not include DEI verbiage; the supervisors can pull the grant at any time for non-performance; all grants have to have personal review by administration staff---not just "peer review" of the grant-writer's pals; and basically de-politicizes the entire grant process which was dominated by the big institutions and professors. Childers puts it this way: "Trump’s EO wasn’t just another policy tweak. It’s a deep detonation inside the very heart of the federal spending machine’s underground bunker." This continues Trump's application of an across-the-board ideological filter to everything.
19) Boston's mayor gave out crack pipes to addicts. Now they are wandering through Boston's poshest mall. No sympathy, ya snot weasels.
IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS
21) Oklahoma will end in-state tuition for illegals.
IN ECONOMIC NEWS
22) Unemployment claims rose for the second month. As with Reagan in 1981, there will be an adjustment period until all the investments kick in.
23) Big investment firms such as Blackstone and Morgan Stanley are lining up to back various AI companies.
24) Tim Cook CEO of Apple said that his company will add another $100 billion in investment in the US in the next 10 years, bringing the total to over $600 billion from Apple.
25) The EPA has terminated a $7 billion solar contract. Good.
26) David Blackmon, the Rush Limbaugh of Energy, reports that a South Carolina court dismissed a green case against Chevron, making it yet another in a string of court losses for the planet-protectors.
IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS
27) Israel plans full military control over Gaza until it is secure enough to hand over to local control.
29) Trump has negotiated a peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan. Next up, he and Pootie-poot will meet on August 15, in Alaska. I'm sure the Donald won't give it back to Russia, but maybe he can give them MurCowSki. Meanwhile, although the Russkies say if they keep what they got they'll stop, and maybe even find some other territory to swap, the Ukrainians say "Nyet."
30) Mediocre Britain is not only circling the drain, they are doing their best Third Reich impression all in the name of protecting the poor immigrants (who have taken over much of the country). You absolutely cannot say anything bad about said criminals. There is now a ministry of truth called the "National Internet Intelligence Investigations" unit that will search social media feeds for any "anti-migrant speech" to "prevent unrest." At least Stalin was honest. He wanted no dissent.
31) Chy-na is experiencing a wave of entrepreneur suicides, and the Clintons are nowhere around.
32) Japan lost almost 1 million people in 2024.
33) The U.S. is offering $50 million reward for the capture of former Venezuelan commie dictator Nicholas Maduro.
IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS
34) Dean Cain, "Superman" in the TV series, joined ICE.
35) Paramount and Skydance completed their merger. Probably next up, Disney and Warner Bros.
36) Speaking of Disney, it groveled in its apology to Carano and the statement suggested that she required the company to put her back in its shows.
37) Just when you thought the week couldn't get any better, "The View" is being canceled. Gee, isn't it odd, all these leftoid shows suddenly get cancelled when the USAID money dries up?
38) Bud Light is offering Sidney Sweeny $10 million to become the "face" of Bud Light.
IN MEDICAL NEWS
39) Nine studies in peer-reviewed journals of vaxxed vs. unvaxxed show the unvaxxed were better off in every single case.
40) Until they admit the vaxxes were dangerous and get aggressive about restitution, unfortunately, I see more of this coming, as a man shot up the CDC in Atlanta because of a vax-related injury.
AND FINALLY . . . .
41) In 2010 a Connecticut grandmother years ago opened a box of "Starburst" candies during a contest and found that they had won $10,000 for a "golden wrapped starburst." But the company said the contest expired. She kept the candy. and this year found it in a box. Her granddaughter shot a video, put it on social media and contacted "Starburst," who decided to make good on the prize!
