IN POLITICAL NEWS

1) Excellent news, as the War Department has upgraded its initial inquiry into Sen. Mark Moonman Kelly into an "Official Command Investigation." People, do you get how important this is? A military investigation goes to a military court, no spickle-duster Rutabaga civilian judges.

2) Boston area po-po, you know the same ones who after nearly three days still don't even have a face or name for the Brown U. shooter? Yeah, they are opening an investigation into the shooting of an MIT prof. I'm sure it was an Amish guy who is responsible.

3) Just the latest rot uncovered in the Rutabaga admin: he let in 18,000 "known" or "suspected" terrorists into the country. Tell me again this guy, like Zero, wasn't doing everything he could to destroy the United States.

4) Rob Reiner's son, Nick, has been taken into custody for slitting his parents' throats. He is not yet "medically ready" for a court appearance. New reports say that he would not sleep for days and fly into meth-filled rages.

5) President Trump has ordered a naval blockade off Venezuela to stop sanctioned oil tankers.

6) Dan Bongino has resigned as assistant director of the FBI. Bongino was reported to have been "ready to leave" over three months ago. There is no question he and AG Pam Bondi had different approaches to the mission, but he was the subordinate. However, this appears to be mostly about being separated from his family. I get it. Mrs. LS told me in the first Trump admin, when Bannon was discussing a couple of positions with me, that she was fine with me going, but she was NOT going to move.

7) Here are the 29 Rs and 22 Ds not seeking reelection. Many of the R spots are safe and present an opportunity for a more MAGA presence.

8) Shipwreckedcrew says the Covid fraud in Kollyfornia dwarfs the Skinny Minny fraud. It is crucial to understand that for today's DemoKKKrat Terror Party, fraud is a feature, not a bug.

9) "It'll be in the next batch." The DOJ is scheduled to release all Epstein files by Friday, but DemoKKKrats as always say there are more. There have to be, because Trump is not implicated in anything released so far.

10) NV is the latest of 18 states to be sued for voter data by the DOJ

11) A judge will not halt construction of President Trump's White House ballroom expansion.

12) SpewMore won't rule out another gubment shutdown, cuz, you know, the first one worked so well for DemoKKKrats. Today, a poll has them at 18% approval, an all time low.

13) President Trump designated street fentanyl as a "WMD."

14) "The Punisher," SecWar Pete Hegseth, is reorganizing the Pentagon away from Europe and war with Russia, and slashing the number lf 4-star generals. Good. Silly that we have such a top-heavy officer corps.

IN ECONOMIC NEWS

15) Elon Musk's SpaceX valuation is now bigger than the deep state itself.

16) While some fret about the AI "bubble," Fortune estimates quantum computing will hit $198 billion in value.

17) Correct: Wolf Richter says the Fed should look at PRIVATE employment when making decisions, not "all."

18) Texas has sued five television makers for secretly spying on consumers.

19) Elon Musk is Boring. No, I don't mean un-interesting. His company, Boring, is using robot drillers to lay a subway type system under Las Vegas, which would use (Disney-style) Teslas to pick people up rather than mass transportation subway cars or train cars.

20) GM is investing $242 million to develop a skilled workforce.

21) Well deserved. Here is a tribute to the Rush Limbaugh of Energy, David Blackmon. And David himself weighs in on the woke Ford $1.9 billion hit it will take on EVs. Meanwhile, interest in EVs by gas-guzzler owners has fallen by 20%.

IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS

22) The world spent $4 TRILLION to move the percentage of power supplied by oil, gas, and coal from 87% to 86%.

23) Of course, when Aussies are killed by a tag-team father/son terror duo firing single shot weapons, the Aussie government immediately spouts "gun control." The evil that these former Brit dominion nations (Canada, Australia, South Africa) have become is shocking.

24) Isn't this sweet? The terrorist networks of al-Qaeda, ISIS, and all the rest are strategically intermarried.

25) The head of Saskatchewan's transit union told the city that the electric buses they bought are only good for a couple of hours. A councilman, with the brain of a mustard seed, asked if maybe they could use the Electric Busses for the Spring, Summer, and Fall and use diesel busses in the winter. Sure, if you want to pay for two separate bus systems. By the way, these walking dung cocktails have thirteen more of these useless vehicles on order. I mean, this is up there with Sen. John Kennedy's quip that DemoKKKrats think they can fly to the sun as long as they flight at night.

26) This may do it: President Trump has sued the Bolshevik Broadcast Network (BBC) for %10 billion for lying in their cuts about the Patriot Day, (J6) festivities. When he wins, he could get something neat, like, say, Big Ben or that giant ferris Bueller wheel.

IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS

27) Star quarterback Joe Burrow dropped a bombshell in his presser after the Cincinnati Bengals were eliminated. He isn't having fun. That and he's been sacked over 200 times already. The Bengals and Browns are sort of the "poverty pops" of the NFL and Cincy does not have money to pay offensive linemen. Realize, this was a guy who took the Bengals to the Super Bowl just a few years ago. It really is a difficult choice for owners. If they pay what the star QBs want, they won't have the money to protect them with an OL.

28) The owners of the Boston Red Sox, a Brit soccer team, and the NHL Penguins say they will sell one of their three teams.

IN MEDICAL NEWS

29) The great FL AG has sued multiple medical groups for their support of child mutilation and transoid policies that encourage such crimes.

AND FINALLY . . .

30) In the largest wildlife "sting" in history, 30,000 animals across 134 countries were rescued from illegal captivity. Hey, I'm doing what I can. I've rescued 7 dogs in 30 years. One of them, Spike, a little Yorkie, got blind and had dementia. He would walk in circles and poop on the floor. One time, around 2006, I was in my office and Spike was locked in with me. I was on the Rush Limbaugh show for about a half hour . . . while right in front of my Spike was circling and pooping. I thought, "Wow, if people could see this . . . ."
