HEADLINES: Arrests in Reflecting pool sabotage; AI costs are soaring; first new nuke reactor in years comes on line
The News of Today is the History of Tomorrow
IN POLITICAL NEWS
1) The President's attempts to beautify D.C. are so hated by leftoid diddlesnappers they are attempting to sabotage the reflecting pool, requiring National Guard soldiers to be stationed there. I keep saying it: the modern DemoKKKrat Terrorist Party hates everything about America. President Trump says that perps have been arrested for vandalizing the newlly dolled-up Reflecting Pool.
2) Drip, drip, drip. Multiple polls now show "warning signs" for DemoKKKrats in the fall elections.
3) In TX, now Jazzy What-a-Crockett, who lost her House seat, refuses to support little Talcumpowder Talarico. It won't hurt him a lot---but it sure won't help.
5) After receiving a Pulitzer Prize for Hoax reporting on the "Muh Russia" scandal, the New York Slimes again gets it wrong on Russia, claiming the useless Zero did not spy on him, when all evidence shows clearly he did. This bird-liner needs to be out of business forever.
6) Just another peaceful and calm weekend in Benghazi-by-the-Lake (Chicago) as a mere seven were killed and "dozens" injured. Gunshot wounds in Chicago, I guess, no longer even warrant precise numbers.
7) The FBI got another of its "Most Wanted," a medicare scammer, whom they hunted down in the Philippines. Now, guys, please use the same energy to get John Brennanski, the Russkie agent.
IN AI NEWS
9) This story is a little old---a month, but you can write it almost any time: One company reportedly spent half a billion on Claude in just one month. Or, from June 14, "Companies are Scrambling to Contain AI Costs." As Irena Slav notes in her substack, it's as if the CEOs thought AI would always be free. Typically, the Euroweenies approach the problem entirely backwards, planning to saddle households with "AI Smartmeters." Straight out of a movie: "Ah, we need to control how much juice AI is using. Why don't we allow AI to determine what it needs and just steal it from the plebes?"
IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS
10) As the administration shut down illegal immigration, the border patrol shifted gears and is achieving record drug seizures.
11) Meanwhile, in New Mogadishu (Minneapolis), 15 were arrested for their parts in an anti-ICE campaign.
IN CULTURAL NEWS
13) Although in many ways this is a book about race, Inevitable Differences by John Staddon tries to deemphasize that in favor ov more general culture, economics and history as the determining factors in wealth differences.
IN ECONOMIC NEWS
14) Apple plans to raise prices to offset the soaring costs of memory and storage chips.
15) Woke New Mogadishu (Minneapolis), following in the footsteps of Groomer City (SF), saw real estate values in the city drop by 45% in five years, while the city now faces a $30 million deficit. Ah, just increase taxes on the Learning Centers.
16) General Motors is replacing 1,000 employees with 50 robots at its flagship Detroit plant.
17) We're finally starting to get nukes back, as a second reactor in UT has gone critical and is about to come on line.
18) Alan Greenspan, who ran U.S. monetary policy as Fed chairman for years, dead at 100.
19) Seattle's electricity rates are expected to rise nearly 20% in the next two years.
IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS
20) Despite Iran's claims, ships continue to transit the Strait of Hormuz.
21) At an English wildlife zoo, a man threw a three-year-old into a crocodile pit. Although the toddler was rescued---despite severe injuries---the police let the man get bail---all in a nation where you can go straight to jail for a tweet. In info, but does anyone want to bet that said perp was of The Religion of Peace (TROP trademark)? In fact, Mediocre Britain now arrests more people for social media posts than do the creepy ChiComs. This development no doubt led to the resignation of Suttering Kier Starmer. His is the seventh government change in 10 years (It could be argued that we legitimately didn't have any government change in 10 years, as Trump really won the 2020 election, but I digress). When Starmer first met Trump at the White House, it was argued he was going to send a strong message on Ukraine. That same day, AG Pam Bondi released those ridiculed Epstein folders. But Jeff Childers asks whether those relatively empty folder in fact sent a strong message to Starmer: "There's nothing in there . . . now. But we've got it." And sure enough, that Peter Mandelson character was implicated--no less than Mediocre Britain's ambassador to the U.S. Needless to say, Starmer was briefed on Mandelson's Eppy Adventures and ignored them
22) Speaking of the hideous Mediocre Britain, new details are emerging on the report that said over 250,000 girls were exploited by (mostly Muslim) grooming gangs, and Mediocre Britain tried to bury the report. The Slimy Limey's at the BBC covered it up, which is why now the Mediocre Britain government is trying to pressure social media platforms to boost it.
23) But it's not just Mediocre Britain that is insane: this French co-called "reporter" was taken off air because she criticized a Belgian soccer player for leaving to go to the birth of his child.
24) The Punisher, Pete Hegseth, has ordered a full military review of the U.S. force posture in Europe. Methinks a major downsizing there is coming.
25) EV sales in Europe rose 3%. But they fell in Chy-na by 9% and down 26% in the U.S. after the subsidies were removed. Funny thing about the EVs. They only work when someone else pays for them. Moreover, the automakers themselves expect the Euro market to weaken the minute people realize there won't be an oil crisis.
26) Abelardo de Espriella, a candidate President Trump supported, won the Colombian presidency, continuing Latin America's shift to the "right." Oh, and check this out: since USAID was dramatically cut, seven out of seven elections have gone to a candidate of the "far right," meaning in journalese Klingon, to sensible populist middle of the road parties.
27) Arab oil producers are sick of Iran and the Strait of Hormuz stuff, so there is now a pipeline boom to make an end run around it.
IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS
28) With all the international soccer fans here in America, many are in awe of the restaurants, shopping, and just abundance. One Aussie was dumbfounded by Texas Roadhouse---a restaruant most elites would never deign to visit---as he called it an upscale dining facility. Here are girls visiting a Buckee's for the first time.
30) Kooky Candace Owens has lost 78% of her audience in less than a year. Good luck with those defamation lawsuits.
31) Comedian Carlos Mencia went the Wesley Snipes route and has been arrested on 12 counts of tax evasion.
32) James Burrows, creator of "Cheers," dead at 85.
IN MEDICAL NEWS
34) RFK's HHS is targeting mental illness and homelessness. But things are still not right at the CDC, which just gave Pfizer $1.2 billion for more doses of the China Virus vax despite Medicare's own evidence that people are more likely to die with the vax than without it.
35) The evil walking fleshtube Dr. Fallacy gave millions in U.S. taxpayer dollars to fund the Wuhan lab that gave us the China Virus. He is too old and too politically insulated to frog-march, but I still dream of applying to him the same justice that was delivered to 90-year-old Nazi prison camp commandants decades after the war. Jeff Childers in his "Coffee & Covid" column noted that one of the first declarations of Tulsi Gabbard's report was that the conditions for an "accidental" release of the anti-human China Virus were in place at Wuhan in 2019. Accidental? We don't need no stinkin' accident. It was deliberate. Tulsi's report showed that not all members of the so-called "intelligence" committee were brainless spoogies, as several alerted the corrupt higher-ups about this and were blown off. But worse, when people began asking questions and demanded an investigation, as Childers points out, it was the pathological Fallacy who ran the investigation. "Excuse me, Mr. Fox. We're missing some chickens. Can you investigate please?"
36) Infant mortality rates have fallen in the U.S., while a groundbreaking new Lupus cure promises remission.
AND FINALLY . . .
38) I guess "Global Warming" may not be that bad for the planet? A new study shows thawing permafrost actually absorbs CO2. Course, now we'll hear how that's bad, too.
