HEADLINES: Mike Johnson's two-fer; US economy surprises "experts"; Dwayne Johnson's live action "Moana" set to lose $250 million
The News of Today is the History of Tomorrow
Thanks everyone! American BIography is now number 21 in all history titles, 43 in military, and 1,500 in all books!

IN POLITICAL NEWS
1) THIS IS A MUST READ: Trump 2.0's achievements are mind boggling. Jeff Childers made a massive list---and remember that as part of the missing children found, no fewer than SIX major pedo rings (gee, those leads couldn't have come from the Eppy files, right?) have been busted. Magnificent. Yet we still have whiny panican doomspoogers. This is such an amazingly important list I'm reposting Jeff's entire list beneath the nicknames. To quote the "Critical Drinker," "Now go away."
2) No one knows for sure, but President Trump has prepared a prime time speech for Thursday night that apparently will expose vote fraud in Georgia based on new document releases. No, he is not expected to call Tossoff and Warlock "illegitimate," though they may well be.
3) Speaker Mikey Johnson had a two-fer: first he denounced the DemoKKKrat Terror Party (correctly) as an "existential threat," then he got the House to attach the SAVE act to an appropriations bill that even the Spoogistic Senate will be hard-pressed to stop because it involves . . . spending money.
4) Conspiracy theorists were all a-twitter over the fact that the FBI visited Lindsey Graham's home after his death. There were concerns that his Uke visit may have exposed him to danger. But it was unusual, more so because, as Jeff Childers pointed out in yesterday's "Coffee and Covid," U.S. Marshals were also there suggesting there was a warrant.
5) Ruh roh. Looks like MAGA is more motivated than DemoKKKrats.
6) It all becomes clearer as the prosecutor in the Trump "hush money" case that resulted in 34 indictments was shipped over directly from Rutabaga's evil goblin squad at Grand Moff Garland's DoInjustice.
7) Sad news as Captain "Sullly" Sullenberger has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. We must find a cure for his hideous disease.
8) While everyone is whining about ICE ending vehicle stops in ME, the rest of the administration continues an unrelenting and hugely successfully string of pedo arrests and busts. This time? More than 100 more sex offenders. Add this to the five major previous pedo busts over the last year, and you have a major offensive under way. But, because you're not arresting illegals in their cars one at a time, no one cares.
9) Providing details for something we already knew, Christopher Rufo and Ryan Thorpe describe how Kollyfornia, with its DEI/race hate programs has become the new South Africa.
10) Under the Amazing Moron Zohran, homeless encampments are moving into Manhattan. Fine with me. Let the useless ones take all of Wall Street.
11) This is actually good to know. Even the Ragin' Cajun James Carville doesn't get what's happening to the DemoKKKrat Party and thinks if only Rutabaga had gotten out of the race in October 2023, everything would have been hunky-dorey for the Party of Terror.
12) These states are flat out becoming national security risks, as now MA is going to set up a "Government Islam Commission" to include the "practice of Islam" to pick gubment useless bureaucrats.
IN AI NEWS
13) Inevitable, as communities are pushing back against big data centers until/unless they BYOE and BYOW (bring your own energy and bring your own water). In 2025, $156 billion in data center construction was delayed, and in the first quarter of 2026 another $130 billion were delayed. This is necessary as society works out who pays for what, but ultimately, we will need these. Work faster, gentlemen. David Blackmon, the Rush Limbaugh of energy, discusses the New York ban one-year ban on new data centers in the context of the state's stupid fracking ban, which deeply harmed it. Currently, despite being home to 130 data centers, NY is behind TX and VA.
IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS
14) For all the douchespiddler doomspoogers freaking out that ICE won't be stopping every car it finds for illegals, Tom Homan, Border Czar, was disgusted, saying last month DHS arrested more illegals than any time in history. Meanwhile, President Trump made clear that he wants the traffic stops to continue and has instructed ICE thusly.
IN CULTURAL NEWS
15) The House passed a bill to make Daylight Saving TIme permanent. Well, at least here in AZ that would alleviate the problem of constantly having to re-jigger the time zones, as we do NOT have DST. The Senate, being the duplicitous carbunkles that they are, likely won't pass. However, a DemoKKKrat (!) rightly argued that this was hardly the most pressing issue at present.
16) An influential Tarot card reader, Alex Read, publicly renounced Satan and embraced Jesus. Folks, this is why you must never give up in prayer for directors, producers, actors, and so on. ALL can be delivered.
17) Typical of the history profession now, a prof claimed that "racism" caused her book to be pulled from shelves after inaccuraces abounded. Gee, sorta like Michael Bellisiles' Arming America which even anti-gun people rebuked for its errors, and whom Emory fired for being a fraud.

18) After following AZ with universal education assistance, including for private and homeschools, AR now leads the nation in scores.
IN ECONOMIC NEWS
19) Following yesterday's low inflation report, the CEO of Bank of Amigo (i.e., Bank of America) said the American economy is "more durable than expected." Well, more durable than the so-called experts expected! Even the Wall Street Urinal had to report "cooling inflation, surging bank earnings" powering the stock market. A typical response is, "That's Wall Street. That's not America." Yeah, except that benefits 60 million Americans who have retirement accounts---54%!
20) IBM, which once held 85% of the world's mainframe computer business, saw its shares crash 20% yesterday.
21) The Treasury Department unveiled a new $1 coin with Trump on it and a new $100 bill with his signature. Love it.
IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS
22) You'll never guess who is leading the world in new nuclear power plans---Africa.
23) If Lenin had had "climate change," all of Western Europe would be under Russkie control now, as Russia exports more crude oil to the gutless Euros than before the Uke invasion. The brave enviornmentally pious Euros are going to have a complete embargo of Russki oil in the next 8 months. You see, they are just stocking up now while prices are low. As Irena Slav points out, "the world needs Russian hydrocarbons more than the Russians need to sell them." Oh, and Russkie companies such as Gazprom don't give a whit about "climate change" and while Shell, BP, and other western companies have to fight with emission controls, the Russkie companies plow all their money into boosting oil production.
24) Good. All U.S. forces will leave Iraq by September. Oh, and Victor Davis Hanson says the world is becoming more pro-American than it has been in years. True dat.
IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS
25) Although diagnosed three years ago, Danny Glover becomes just the latest to go public with an Alzheimer's diagnosis.
26) The live action Dwayne Johnson "Moana" is set to lose at least $250 million, despite the two previous animated versions cleaning up. Meanwhile, in Disney's Marvel division, there are growing concerns that the company's make-it-or-break-it December anticipated blockbuster, "Avengers: Doomsday" is a disaster, as increasing plot leaks suggest Marvel has completely failed to recapture the essence of the characters that made the franchise so remarkable. Personally, as a Marvel fan who thought "Endgame" was one of the greatest movies ever made, I'm getting less enthused for "Doomsday" by the minute.
27) The Demented Pervert, Rutabaga, slurred his way through an announcement of a new book "he" wrote. Right. Like "he" signed legislation.
IN MEDICAL NEWS
28) Terrible news for me. You know the diarreaha epidemic going around? They may have traced it to Taco Bell. Heck, I've had three enchiritos in five days. When they say make a run for the border, I think they meant make a run for the bathroom. That said, I still miss the spork.
29) The pro-vax "Voices for Vaccines" just, gee, can't explain why vaxxed kids had higher death rates than the unvaxxed.
AND FINALLY . . .
30) A SC restauranteur found $12,000 in an old cabinet and returned it to the owner. Meanwhile, I forgot my iPad on my recent flight to Austin, leaving it in the seat pocket. What are the odds I'll get that back?
