HEADLINES: Special elections and a Supes ruling; Epstein arrives, Dems angry; Major medical group says "Nyet!" to child mutilations
THE NEWS OF TODAY IS THE HISTORY OF TOMORROW
IN POLITICAL NEWS
1) This is why the "special elections" game is so tricky. DemoKKKrats just finished celebrating a TX state senate seat flip when this AL result comes out. The R won by an even bigger margin than did Trump in 2024. Again, overall, somewhat meaningless. Meanwhile, our friends over at "The Liberal Patriot" are starting to put up storm warnings about the Electoral College, as well they should.
2) Having demanded that Trump release the Epstein files, now DemoKKKrats are panicking that he has, beginning with the Clintons, who, after failed maneuvering and posturing, finally relegated themselves to being interrogated by the House. Looks like the DemoKKKrats have tossed the Corrupt Crime Family under the bus. Remember, this comes one week after unnamed "DemoKKKrats" warned House members to stay the heck away from MN because, well, the story was hurting them. Nor does it help that another DemoKKKrat was charged with fraudulent use of funds in GA. No, the "big names" aren't here, but for Pete's sake, is anyone watching the sheer number of underlings being rolled up?
3) I did not expect the Supes to overturn the Kollyfornia redistricted map, any more than they will overturn any other. This does not change my equation one iota, as I always calculated 5 new DemoKKKrat seats in Kollyfornia. Rs still should hold the house by 2-5.
5) Ah, the left is so cheery and full of life. The Senior Skank, Jill Biden, learned that her ex-husband has been charged with murdering her successor.
6) The Inspector General said that a whistleblower complaint against Tulsi Gabbard lacked credibility. She says she was on the ground in Fulton Co. because Trump requested it.
7) Moronic Massachusetts is set to establish driving mileage limits. Are you toadstools awake yet? Meanwhile miles driven hit an all time high.
8) Ryan "Baby" Routh was sentenced to life in prison for attempting to assassinate President Trump.
9) Elon Musk and X awarded Nick Shirley $100,000 for his reporting on the Skinny Minny fraud.
10) Two GOP Congressmen have said that John Can't Carry a Thune will bypass the standard silent filibuster to pass the SAVE (voting integrity) Act. We'll see. Oh, and a new poll shows that 76% of black Americans want voter ID.
11) Republicans are just 42,877 away from flipping PA red among active voters. This margin was DemoKKKrat +1.1 million in 2016.
IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS
12) Shipwreckedcrew says Jonathan Ross was 100% justified in shooting Renee Good.
IN TRANSOID NEWS
13) The first major medical group says nay nay on child mutilation. Drip, drip, drip. Soon this will be universal, then they will begin looking at transoidism in adults, properly, as a sickness.
IN ECONOMIC NEWS
14) In a regular and expected concern with AI, the latest suggests AI will cost a lot of software jobs, causing a market dip. Fortune warns that AI may also cut revenues. Someone better figger it out because right now AI is lining up to be the biggest capital expenditure in history.
15) Bahama Breeze, the sister chain of Olive Garden restaurants, basically went out of business overnight.
16) Rare earth minerals stocks soared after Trump announced "Project Vault" as a strategic minerals stockpile.
17) Commercial office delinquencies are worse than in 2008. Thing is, I'm not sure they will ever recover from the China Virus, and maybe many of those elites who own those properties should have done more to stop the insane lockdowns.
18) Private payroll growth did not hit expectations. Maybe some of them are here, as the Washington Compost tells employees to stay home and may have extensive layoffs. However, Quantum Insights says that manufacturing growth is back in style.
19) Elon Musk is merging SpaceX and xAI. Will this be Skynet after all? It would be a trillion dollar company. Today, however, Wal-Mart hit $1 trillion as the first ever trillion dollar business.
20) Harvard thought it could stall, waiting out Trump. The New York Slimes ran a story saying Trump backed down. Oops. Trump increased the demand from Harvard from $200m to $1 billion.
21) David Blackmon, the Rush Limbaugh of Energy, says that natural gas is the big winner in the AI power race.
IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS
22) Looks like the Clintons aren't the only elites caught up in the Epstein muck. Norway's top dogs are identified as well. This includes PMs, royalty, members of the useless Nobel committee. Gonna be fun. Norweigians don't like it, with 76% saying the future queen should not take the throne, but perhaps work at a ski resort. And in Mediocre Britain, Lord Mandelson, ex-ambassador to the U.S., has resigned.
23) A conservative, following the latest string of conservative victories in Latin America, won the presidency in Costa Rica.
26) The Huns are dismantling their chemical industrial base.
27) An Arab reporter says that Palestinians would bring their kids to riots hoping they'd be hurt so they could collect money from the Palestinian Authority.
IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS
28) I admit, I don't know who Bad Bunny is or if plays the mandolin or tuba, but his record company was tied to Maduro. So predictable and stupid.
29) Singer Billie Eilish who went on a Grammy rant about people living on "stolen lands" is herself living in a $3 million mansion that resides in Injun land. This is a sick little girl. Very talented.
IN MEDICAL NEWS
30) Imagine that! RFK, Jr. wants to put safety before efficacy. I think we all would too . . . all except Politico which whines about it. Oh, and Trump tried to cut HHS funds in the new budget and the moronic DemoKKKrats put the money back in . . . and Bobby said he has plenty of projects they hate.
AND FINALLY . . .
31) Every once in a while amazing stories like this show up. In Australia, a 13-year-old boy, whose family on paddleboards was swept out to sea, swam four hours to rescue them.
