HEADLINES: More MN news; a moon nuke; and a $100 million coach

THE NEWS OF TODAY IS THE HISTORY OF TOMORROW

IN POLITICAL NEWS

1) The people spoke and AG Pam Bondi listened, firing six federal prosecutors who refused to support ICE operations. The DOJ has also launched a criminal investigation of the Prancing Gheyboy Tampon Timmy.

2) As an educator, one of my running themes here is to remind you of stuff we discussed before, not to say "told ya so" (though I did) but to keep things in perspective. In this case, I've been saying the Skinny Minny fraud is the breakpoint on all this stuff, including a lot of leftover USAID $ they were re-funneling. So now Dr. Oz, administrator for the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, has found another $1.8 billion in fraudulent spending under the previous administration, all of it linked to . . . illegal aliens. Just one of many, but this MN resident exemplifies the DemoKKKrat Civil War #2 I alerted you to last year when he essentially says toward the end that the Skinny fraudsters are are sucking up money meant for the hood. Watch to the end, as he has a slow build to rage. Meanwhile, Nick Shirley exposes another $16 million MN fraud. DemoKKKrats get that what is coming is unstoppable, hence the MN AG Keith Ellison has actually charged a Muslim man with fraud. They are trying to get ahead of it.

3) Common sense DemoKKKrats at "The Liberal Patriot" understand that you can't have an immigration policy that doesn't block people and/or deport them. Fortunately no one else in the DemoKKKrat Terror Party will listen to them.

4) Wait, so you're telling me Donald Trump is going to Make American Gangs Great Again? Foreign fraudsters are now impinging on West Coast Crips/Bloods gang operations. I sense a new alliance afoot.

5) This is more like it. The U.S. plans to build a nuke reactor on the moon by 2030 in preparation for deep space flight.

6) Jazzy What-a-Crockett looks sunk as the DemoKKKrats move to ditch her.

7) Both FL and TX are beginning to cut out the American Bar Association from its malicious influence on justice selection and law school oversight.

8) Seth Keshel argues that the Trump administration has figured out the foundation of voter fraud. Bondi has sued 23 states for their voter rolls. Some, as expected, are fighting back, but eventually this will likely become unavoidable to all states. As Keshel notes, in the states WITHOUT "automatic voter registration," Trump won 243 Electoral Votes and 25 states in 2024, while Cackles only won one state and one district that for 5 Electoral Votes from non-automatic-voter-registration states. In fact, Trump has already deported enough people from MN for the state to lose a congressional seat! Good.

9) Chris Bray argues that the "expulsion of noise" from the butyraceous and oleaginous Grusome is meant to disguise the fact that Kollyfornia is broke. His own state Legislative Analyst Office said that the negative condition of state finances is "now chronic." Some of MN's people are now saying the same about their state. Folks, even if every single agency under USAID isn't completely closed, good enough. Trump has turned off the spigots to the point that several blue states have become insolvent. And Trump will not bail them out. And of course they blame Trump for their own evil.

10) As we all predicted at the time, the hideous Obamacare---what is left of it---made premiums spiral.

11) The gubment is offering a $100,000 reward for info leading to the capture of little spleenblisters who broke into gubment vehicles in MN and stole weapons.

IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS

12) The U.S. has suspended visa processing for 75 countries.

13) The State Department has revoked 100,000 visas under President Trump.

14) Illegals in TX have sucked up over $1 billion in medical bills.

15) The ICE agent who killed the criminal obstructionist trying to run him down with a car is now a millionaire thanks to GoFundMe.

IN CULTURAL NEWS

16) Yale University has purged every single Republican from its faculty. Not surprised, and not hard to do. In the 1990s, various think tanks ran surveys of major universities. U of CO only had one out of 100 in the liberal arts college. Most others were lucky to have even two.

IN ECONOMIC NEWS

17) A new deal with TSMC (Taiwan) chip company will see it invest $500 billion in US manufacturing.

18) The U.S. may be entering the greatest period of construction in history, as the AI boom demands millions of new construction employees.

19) The Detroit Auto Show showed no love for EVs.

20) President Trump has called for an "emergency energy auction" to force Big Tech to pay for their own energy. THIS IS MUCH NEEDED.

21) Manufacturing wages rose $1300 in Trump's first year back.

22) President Trump will unveil a plan to allow people to use their 401K funds as home down payments.

23) Condo prices have started to fall.

24) U.S. existing home sales surged 5% in December.. Inflation, meanwhile, fell to 1.44% and the morons at the Fed still haven't lowered rates much.

IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS

25) Despite the refined and loquacious Greedo Thunderberger, Sweden's green agenda is unraveling.

26) Mediocre Britain, on its way to becoming pathetic little Britain, has institutionalized antiSemitic racism by allowing a burb to ban the Israeli soccer team.

27) Venezuela's opposition leader Maria Machado met with President Trump and gave him her Nobel Peace Prize.

28) The ChiComs aren't going quietly. They are investing over $500 billion in grid improvements.

29) Catherine Herridge reports that the Jan. 2020 Iranian ballistic missile attack on the U.S. al-Asad air base base included "toxic agents."

30) Is Cuba the next commie domino to fall?

31) Dutch students were forced to live next to immigrants, and were subjected to years of sex assaults. Note: these are the same people who are upset the U.S. wants to control Greenland, not their neighbor, Denmark. By the way, when people actually talk to Greenlanders? They don't like Denmark much.

32) What Trump is doing is not nation building. It is "regime reorientation."

IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS

33) A 70-year-0ld woman died after riding "Revenge of the Mummy" at Universal Studios, Orlando. No cause of death given, but I guess you could watch the movie for some clues.

34) Former Baltimore Ravens fired head coach John Harbaugh has been in negotiations with the New York Midgets over a proposed $100 million contract. Jeez, you guys. I'll do it for half that.

IN MEDICAL NEWS

35) President Trump unveiled a new health care affordability plan, including $2000 to patients individually, ending kickbacks from drug companies to doctors, and other improvements that DemoKKKrats and Randy Paul will block.

36) Elon Musk predicts robots will take over all medical treatments within three years. "Dave, I can't let you out of bed yet." Seriously, if you want to see where "automated" health care goes, watch the Brit series "Robot."
