The News of Today is the History of Tomorrow







IN POLITICAL NEWS



2) The funeral of Jimmy Carter saw Barack Obama and President Trump chatting it up and joking while Cackles looks straight ahead, deadpan. Traitor Tuppence offered Trump a limp handshake, but his wife refused to stand. And Rutabaga looked befuddled, as if saying, "What's in the box?"


3) In the so-called "hush money" trial of president Trump, the dicknipple judge Juan Merchan ordered an "unconditional discharge,' meaning no fine, no jail time, but Trump would still have the appellation of "felon" attached to his name. This will be appealed.


4) Really no surprise here, but a veteran reporter says Trump's CIA director pick, John Ratcliffe, will be a "day one" confirmation. Though solid, Ratcliffe is far closer to being a D.C. insider than most others.


5) Federal judge Aileen Cannon has blocked release of Count Dooku, Jack Smith's, "report" pending a ruling by an appeals court. Meanwhile, the Supes in their good cop bad cop routine, refused to halt Juan Merchan's sentencing tomorrow with Amy Coney Barret doing her best imitiation of Anthony Kennedy.


6) "We didn't start the fire," but Kollyfornia is facing unprecedented fires in Malibu, Palisades, and the Hollywood Hills: 30,000 acres are on fire, forcing nearly 180,000 told to evacuate. Estimates are that it will cost $135 to $150 billion to rebuild. Because of "Unknown unknowns" as Donald Rumsfeld used to say, likley the total cost will be much higher. And, as John Leake notes, like Lahaina, Kollyfornia was warned about this in 2018. In this months-old video, Trump correctly explained why Kollyfornia has a water problem. LA complains about a lack of firefighters after firing hundreds who wouldn't take the China Virus vax. Oh, and the brilliant Rutabaga said that they cut the power so that downed power lines wouldn't start more fires and that's why there was no power for the water pumps. Gee, you fizzle-brained, pus-porcupine, THAT SOUNDS LIKE A FLAW IN THE SYSTEM TO ME. Like Hans knowing the FBI would cut the power to Nakatomi so the vault would open. And a leaked memo shows LA Mayor Karen Ass sought to cut another $49 million from the fire department a week before the fires broke out. The Washington Examiner calls this an "Inferno of Incompetence." But this is precisely what you get with evil DEI hires, useless racist DemoKKKrats---who are overwhelmingly stupid---and a complicit media that never challenges or investigates them.


7) Senator Fetterman Massacre visited Mar-a-Lago and agreed that we needed to talk about acquiring Greenland. Asked what he wanted, Fetterman said he wanted to be Pope of Greenland. Just asking, are Greenlandes Catholic?


8) Trump's National Security Advisor nominee Mike Walz says they'll be accepting resignations from the Deep State at 12:01 on January 20.



IN CULTURAL NEWS


9) If the rise of the "nones" (who reject all religion) is the most important spiritual story of the 21st century, the dominance of non-denominationalism is the second most important. It is the future of American religion.


IN TRANSOID NEWS



11) Total chaos at Meta right now ("Meta" means death in Hebrew) as employees are protesting what they see as "anti-homosexual/anti-transoid" policies. The change is that Meta will now allow posters to say that transoids or homosexuals have mental illness. This eventually needs to be the direction they all head.


IN ECONOMIC NEWS


12) Ah, the old good news=bad news scenario, where a good jobs report sends the stock market down because of anticipated inflation.


IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS


13) A Canuck legislator said, "How about if we buy Alaska?" Dude, you can't even afford an igloo.


14) Irena Slav always brings the "meats" in her column. Today: VW and its employee union agreed (!!) to cut 35,000 jobs this year, on top of a 30,000 loss in the auto supplier industry last year; opposition to wind turbines in the UK is growing, Black Rock just joined the net-zero exodus (!!), and the EU begins its post-Brexit crackup. All in all, a report worth saying "Huzzah!"


15) Korean scientists have developed a next generation lithium battery that can fully recharge in 12 minutes. Great. That's only about 9 minutes more than it takes me to fill up. So if you have to "refuel" 5 times on a trip, you've added 45 minutes.



IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS


17) Denzel Washington is now a minister, completing the first part of a prophecy about him at age 20 when a prophet said he would preach to millions.


18) Mel Gibson's $14 million mansion burned down while he was filming the Joe Rogan show.


19) "It's not enough to be thin anymore" after Ozempic Wait, I thought we were into Lizzo-love fat acceptance. I can't keep up.


AND FINALLY . . .


20) Scientists are baffled by large new structures found deep in the Pacific Ocean. Folks, I told you about this for years. John D. Rockefeller saved the whales when his cheap kerosene replaced whale oil as the major form of lighting and ended, for the most part, whaling in the late 1800s. I'm convinced the whales built giant statues of Rockefeller and like Muslims to Mecca, go to them to worship regularly.
