IN POLITICAL NEWS

1) Following Dr. Fallacy's Vito Genovese impersonation on Tuesday, FL AG James Uthmeier launched an investigation into little Mengele, meaning that if evidence pops up, the AG can subpoena him for depositions, and if he contradicts what he said publicly earlier under oath, he can be brought up on state perjury charges.

2) President Trump, citing a couple of GOP RINO muttonheads who won't confirm Todd Lynch, says he may just withdraw the nomination until next January when said skinwalkers are gone. But guess what spoogies? LYNCH WILL STILL BE ACTING AG. Didn't think this through, didja?

3) Can't-Carry-a-Thune thinks he can hide behind advancing other Trump nominess---74 of them. Fine and great, but Americans want SAVE.

4) ME's replacement for Potted Platner, Helen of Troy Jackson, has two kids with his cousin. He's running for MAINE'S US SENATE SEAT, not ALABAMA'S! And over in WI, Rs got a huge boost when front runner Mandala Barnes dropped out of the race. And Seth Keshel predicts that Fetterman Massacre, the Human Ox, will switch parties after the election. President Trump also stated that he will pump big money into the TX senate campaign of Ken Paxton.

5) I like this, whether or not it helps the R governor candidate Tiffany (which it does): a WI judge ruled that people cannot "recall" early ballots and revote. Another good reason for not having early ballots at all.

6) Citing a caseload flood of AI related lawsuits, a UT judge resigned after only two years on the job.

7) Crime numbers under President Trump are reaching a 125 year low in some cases. Incredible success. But, I guess some would say that all the crime moved to Congress.

8) A report from a private school in MI, Interlochen Center for the Arts, found 70 incidents of sexual abuse and 40 abusers, one of whom was Jeffrey Epstein.

9) Immigrant businesses in New Kabul (NYC) are preparing a lawsuit against the Amazing Moron Zohran for his goofball state-run grocery stores. Remember how those turned out in the Soviet Union?

10) Sneaky, sneaky, though as the evil little commie Moron has pushed the opening date of the so-called "Free" grocery stores back to 2027 for the first, but 2029 for the second. Just in time for Moron's reelection---or Presidential run. But wait! Since for-profit grocery stores will be put out of business, now an advisor is urging subsidies for them too.Meanwhile, the Amazing Moron Zohran's new rent freeze benefits the wealthy. Who could have predicted that? Oh, and the Amazing Moron Zohran's free bus program resulted in ridership falling 7.7%. Oh, and lest ANYONE be surprised, guess who Amazing Zohran and his DemoKKKrat Fascist toadnipples support? Chy-na. The "survival of Chinese socialism is a crucial matter."

COMMENT: You may recall I said that the main reason so many elites and Hoax Newsers hate the Russkies so much is that Russia turned its back on communism. Yes, there is a small remnant there. Yes, Russia is not exactly a pure "capitalist" country. Irrelevant. To the elites and the Hoax Newsers, the best chance in history to prove that communism worked was crushed, and they will never forgive Russia for that. So now their entire support falls to the only remaining large-scale commie hellhole, Chy-na.

11) Once again, the DemoKKKrat civil war expands, now with a Clinton-Obama wing battling the full commie Zohran wing. Already James Carville and Van Jones and Julian Epstein and Bill Maher weighed in. Now Mark Penn and Rahm Emmanuel have piled on.

12) What is the first rule of handling a firearm? "Treat every gun as though it was loaded." Someone forgot that in an AZ yard sale when, showing off the "safety function," a man shot another person in the colon and another in the hand and groin.

13) Former DemoKKKrat former operative Evan Barker recounts in her book Nothing Left her story about how the former mainstream DemoKKKrat Party was hijacked by the lunatics.

15) MI wanna be DemoKKKRat candidate for the senate, Abdul El-Sayed, who said the Trump tax bill benefitted those who "really didn't need" the money, nevertheless claimed a $26,000 Trump tax deduction.

16) The Socialist Republic of Seattle, otherwise known as New Beirut, is handing out free crack pipes with a picture of Martin Luther King, Jr., who, to my knowledge was not on crack.

17) President Trump eliminated over 50,000 fed employees with $2 billion in salaries in 2025. Good start, Mr. President. Keep choppin'.

IN AI NEWS

18) Chy-na's AI DeepSeek had to pause a second round of funding after the Founder admitted that the company could buy some "noncompliant" data processes from companies other than Huwei, the Commie-controlled state data company.

19) More on the AI Anthropic lawsuit of which I am a part. A judge approved a $1.38 billion payout to authors. I'll take my $300 million please. I need a hot tub. But here's the kicker I did NOT know about: Antrhopic was buying books, including rare books, and scanning them for AI, then . . .burning them. Now, I don't think this will be successful in getting rid of copies of books---it never is---but what has ol' Prof. Larry been telling you for some time? Get books. Real books. Physical books. The older the better. Anthropic CEO spoogies of course said this was in order to "train AI to write good." (Just a play on "Zoolander.") In fact, Anthropic is having trouble: in a test, its AI hacked three different companies.

IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS

27) Like the Islamic invasions of old, tens of thousands of illegal murdermonkeys from The Religion of Peace (TROP trademark) have invaded the Spanish city of Cueta and the illegal-friendly Rutabaga-like president there does nothing about it. Spanish President Pedro Sanchez says this deserves "condemnation." Wow. Maybe strongly worded Tweets would be good too. No actual response to send them back, though. Stephen Miller warned this is exactly what the DemoKKKrats want to do to America. By the way, Spain once stood tall against Islamic invasions:

28) Spain is making other Euros jittery, though. Italy, which hasn't exactly been Fortress Rome against the invaders, has severed its travel agreement with Espanol.

29) Countries that ramp up fossil fuel production are more self-sufficient, those that do not, well, are not.

30) Although the Huns are going out kicking and screaming, they are slowly reducing subsidies for wind and solar.

31) Wow, pigs are flying Newsweak: "Trump was right. Six months post-Maduro Venezuelan Recovery Defies Critics."

IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS

32) Megxit and the Ginger Duke could be on the hook for millions in a failed lawsuit vs. a tabloid. Guess those Netflix shows on polo just ain't helping in the old revenue department, either.

33) "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" set an all-time first day high of $167 million and is on track to exceed "Avengers: Endgame" by Monday.`It is interesting, no, that now the benchmark of financial return on a movie is "Avengers: Endgame."

IN MEDICAL NEWS

34) More research into coffee says it has neuroprotective qualities and spurs anti-inflammation activity, as well as lowering blood pressure.

AND FINALLY . . .

35) Do you want the good news or bad news? The good news? You're getting married at Carmel. The bad news? our $45 billion AI fund just crashed. Maybe you can cancel the band?
