The News of Today is the History of Tomorrow
PROGRAM NOTE: There will be no "Today"s News" or "Larry's Commentary" on Friday, as I'll be at the Great Homeschool Convention in Round Rock, TX. See you back here next Monday.
Reminder: the new book, American Biography is out. If you want an autographed copy, email me at Larry@wildworldofhistory.com and I can supply you with autographed bookplates.
IN POLITICAL NEWS
1) A little history lesson: in 2018 the DemoKKKrat candidate for FL gov, Andrew "Gillum's Island" Gillum was projected to win in many polls by as much as 11 points. Ron DeSantis won by 1, for a 12-point error. Today? Gillum's Island was arrested on drug charges. This guy was almost FL's governor. Speaking of almost famous dicknipples, the nazified ME DemoKKKrat Senate candidate Graham Potted Platner won't step down amidst accusations of rape unless he can name his own successor. What do you have another rapist in mind, Potted? Bill Clinton is not from ME. Anyway, Jeff Childers goes into exquisite detail about the Potted One, here. He recounts how the pultitudinous puffporker Jon Favreau called Potted a "good, decent man." Compared to who, there Wally? Heinrich Himmler? At any rate, Potted is now fertilizing other potential DemoKKKrat candidates, such as Dan Osborn in Nebraska who boasted that he had "recruited" the Potted One. Believe me, this cancer is spreading through the whole DemoKKKrat Terror Party and they are, well, terrified.
3) Pretty funny. An anti-Trump foreign-born judge, no kidding, named Sparkle, had blocked President Trump's "SAVE" system to prevent illegal furriners from voting in U.S. elections, but a FL judge just reinstated it and basically stuffed ol' Sparky. Speaking of the DemoKKKrat Terror Party losing in court, the AZ Supreme Court overruled a lower court and said that Recorder Justin Heap's office has authority over the election, not the corrupt Board of Supervisors.
4) In voter registration news, RI has lost 22% of its D lead since 2024, and in the latest drop saw Rs gain net 4,000 on Ds there. MD, on the other hand, saw a net gain of 2,600 for Ds Seth Keshel thinks MD is off the table for Rs, even in 2028. Much better news out of OR, where after voter roll purges, Rs gained a net of 3,800. CO, as Keshel calls it, is "one of the most grim states" for the GOP in an otherwise great landscape. Latest saw Ds net gain about 3,000. This used to be a solid R state til CA wokesters arrived. Meanwhile, the GOP-aligned PAC One Nation is putting in millions of ads in OH, IA, and NH (!!).
5) Texas AG and future senator Ken Paxton won a court order to force the cleanup of thousands of illegally stockpiled wind turbine blades. When the cleanup/pollution costs of these hideous monstrosities begins to hit the wind turbine companies, they will likely be set back 30 years if not made bankrupt.
6) A new scientific paper shows n0 increase in U.S. heatwaves over the last century. Another hoaxified "climate change" myth destroyed.
7) Recall that about a week ago I pointed out that the Trump offensive against fraud was firing on all cylinders. Now, the DoEd continues with the bust of a financial aid fraud ring. Recall also, (and now I think this even more strongly), I suggested that with the destruction of USAID, the DemoKKKrats slithered into other money-funneling schemes, and I think that is what the administration is now closing off.
8) Operation Patriot Shield arrested 224 more thugs. Another reason violent crime and murders are down under President Trump.
10) A Chicom national was indicted for running brothels out of Boston apartments. Did Hunter Biteme know about this? Charlie Sheen?
11) American Jews used to be gun shy. Now they are changing their minds about guns. Gee, I wonder why?
IN AI NEWS
12) In WY, a data center was shut down after its water discharges spread a rare metal-resistant bacteria into Cheyenne's water system. The "closed loop" wasn't so closed after all, and cleanup will take months while the system is offline. I'll say again: we need AI on that wall we want AI on that wall but it MUST SUPPLY ITS OWN WATER AND POWER and it must be safe. (And I'm a little confused: why is bacteria "metal" resistant? Wouldn't it survive better if it was antibiotic resistant? Asking for a friend).
13) A new study suggests AI may indeed create more jobs than it replaces.
IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS
14) Good: 95% of asylum requests now end in denial. They aren't seeking political asylum. They're seeking welfare.
IN CULTURAL NEWS
15) Surprising, but most parents like their kids' schools.
16) The Smithsonian Institution was nearly completely taken over by the commies. Trump is changing that.
IN ECONOMIC NEWS
17) Toyota just announced a $3.6 billion expansion in San Antonio, adding another 2,000 jobs. Furriners creating U.S. jobs is great, but it will be even better when 'Mericans create American jobs.
18) A New York skyscraper had to be evacuated because it was bending due to the fact that to get contracts for "affordable housing," contractors cut corners. Life in the Amazing Moron Zohran's little burb.
19) You want a great chart on capitalism? Look at all the areas where prices went up, and where they went down. Prices rose in almost every sector where the gubment was deeply involved and fell in every area where the private sector dominated. Moreover, contrary to media hype, each generation in U.S. history has done better than the previous generation.
20) X-box CEO has announced thousands of American firings, while begging for more H1Bs. Let this useless gaming system die already.
21) Wal-Mart plans to drop beef prices by 15%. Good start.
22) The DOW closed at over 53,100 and all the 401K holders shouted "Hallelujah."
23) Love this. Transpo Sec Sean Duffy just redirected all of the money Buttplugs spent on bike lanes to fixing real problems and improving roads. Speaking of roads, 8/10 states with the highest gas prices are . . . surprise . . . DemoKKKrat governed states.
24) Trump has started to redistribute wealth in a novel way, by having corporations underwrite the "Trump Accounts" for kids, where a child can get $1000 in an IRA type deposit from Uncle Sam, another $250 from billionaire Michael Dell, who put in $6 billion, and a donation of SpaceX stock into the accounts. Yikes. That's like having someone give you free shares of Apple and Microsoft in the 1980s! And guess who hates it? DEMOKKKRATS!! You know, the guys always droning on about the redistribution of wealth. See, it's only good if GUBMENT takes from the rich. They can't be allowed to help people get rich on their own. But wait! Some 88 people and companies have already bought into the plan. Micron put in $250 million. Justine Bateman chimed in, "For anyone wanting to give wealth to their children, it’s a pretty good offer. With some billionaires generously giving back. This was the hope, yeah? Generational wealth being created and the very wealthy helping others.” As Jeff Childers pointed out, this is exactly the opposite of how DemoKKKrat Terror Groups like Black Looters Matter "helped people," namely by building their own $6 million mansion. Childers expanded his discussion to include how USAID never helped anyone but NGOs, and God knows what they did with the money except donate it back to the DemoKKKrat Terror Party. Now the Trump accounts cut out every single intermediary!! And how do you run on "Tax the Rich" if the rich are giving da po money at a record clip? Doesn't help the DemoKKKrats in the midterms.
IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS
25) Cuba, already a third world nation, collapsed into fourth world status as its entire power grid failed. Leaders immediately called Trump for help. I say, "Nyet." Ditch your commie gubment and we'll talk.
26) President Trump landed in Turkey to full military honors.
28) In Mediocre Britain, cops did it again, arresting a white kid who was surrounded and threatened by feral thugs---I'm sure they were Amish.
IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS
29) Disney's California Adventure will expand the "Avengers Campus" to be its own separate land beginning with the attraction, "Infinity Defense." This ride will be viewed as a prototype meaning more is coming. It is, however, a copy of the great Spider-Man ride at Universal. Here's the real risk, and I say this as a comics guy, a superhero fan, and a devout Marvel (original) afficionado: they are going all in on the notion that "Avengers: Doomsday" will be a hit. And despite my love of the comics, I'm NOT excited at all. The trailers were all over the map, and this movie will require phenomenal writing to pull off. So far, not seeing it. Understand that there will be an initial overwhelming excitement for this movie as it has been eight years since the truly awesome "Avengers: Endgame" saga ended. But shoving once-beloved characters into alien roles and questionable setups feels like teen desperation to me. And if "Endgame" doesn't do $2 billion, Disney may eat the theme park land as well, just as it did with "Star Wars," which flopped. In short, the timing on this may turn out to be terrible.
30) Armie Hammer is a classless, ungrateful cluckbucket. He is now out slamming "Citizen Vigilante" as "Hateful" and "disgusting" after Uwe Boll gave him a chance at redemption and a new life in movies. Hammer was utterly blacklisted for his gross behaviors before Boll. So now he collects a check, gets back in, and to appease the wokesters, attacks the movies. Back to your cave, Armie.
AND FINALLY . . .
31) This is welcome news. Ugandan coffee growers shrug off the drought due to regenerative agriculture. Because you do not want to see me without coffee or sugar.
