The News of Today is the History of Tomorrow
IN POLITICAL NEWS
1) President Trump got Israel and Iran to enter into a ceasefire. If it holds, and for how long. It appears Israel may have already violated the deal, and President Trump was fuming, saying the sides had been fighting so long they don't know "what the f . . . they are doing." we'll see. But so far, my prediction of the "war" looking like Grenada is right. Meanwhile, crude oil prices fell 7.5% after Iran's nothingburger "retaliation" did zero damage. Meanwhile, claims that they attack did no lasting damage has been refuted by Israeli intel, which said Fordow is "totally inoperable." And "inoperable" may describe Congress, which no longer will get classified briefings from the Trump admin after someone leaked.
2) Nothing has changed with the Great DemoKKKrat Collapse. Seth Keshel, who had a perfect track record in 2020, right now has Rs holding 197 safe seats, Ds holding just 169. Rs have another 8 leaners (for 205), while Ds have 25. Many of these will be in doubt by 2026. Two-thirds of all "leaner" and "decisive" seats (69) are held by DemoKKKrats, who must hold 56 of them to regain a majority. Rs are clearly on offense, Ds on defense. In New Hampshire's Senate race, Rs probably got the best news they could hope for when former MA Senator Scott Brown announced his run. He's a quasi-RINO, but would have a good chance to win.
3) So, for a party already on the wrong side of every single 80/20 issue, DemoKKKrats in New Kabul (NYC) in their primary just elected a radical socialist jihadist with a name like a carnival mind reader, Zohran Mamdami. ("Step right up and have the Great Mamdami, the incredible Zohran read your thoughts!") He wants . . . gubment grocery stores. And you think food prices are high now?? The Incredible Zohran is a police defunder who thinks the NYPD is racist and "anti-queer." He still has to win a general election against Eric the Red Adams, who looks like Joe McCarthy compared to this guy. But as Jeff Childers notes, The Democrats built a trap for themselves and then sprinted into it wearing clown shoes. Now, Nipplepin Venthoarder says he may run as an independent . . . along with Eric the Red. Adams who may run as a Republican. Thus, a city the DemoKKKrats once owned now finds itself needing to run three different DemoKKKrats on three different tickets. Nevertheless, the left couldn't help but squeal that the Incredible Zohran "just remade American politics." Well, if you mean set the DemoKKKrat Party on fire, why, yes he did.
4) Some 2/3 of the DemoKKKrats voted against Al ("Let's Stay Together") Green's impeachment motion. Is anyone reading polls? The latest Remington has a generic poll at R 52%-D 44%.
5) For those Panicans thinking the MAGA base would shatter over the bombing, well, no. In two polls, over 75% of Rs support the attacks. This poll paints an even stronger picture for Trump: 86% GOP and 94% MAGA support the Iran bombing.
8) Just one little piece of evidence that the gravy train has dried up for these people, as Hunter Biteme has been sued by his lawyers for not paying their bills.
9) Michael Shellenberger says that both USAID and the CIA were behind the goofball and illicit impeachment of Trump in 2019.
10) An ex-Rutabaga aide Neera Tanden admits she was authorized to use the autopen.
11) Trump's Ag Secretary Brook Rollins has moved to prevent NJ from taking over a 175-year-old family farm.
12) Hey remember all the doomspoogers who went nuts when we lost the WI Supreme Court election? How this would cost Vance the 2028 election, blah, blah. Well ALL of the lib justices voted with the conservatives AND with the R legislature against the governor.
IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS
13) The Supes have temporarily allowed the U.S. to continue deporting illegal criminal invaders to third countries.
14) My son once suggested we turn the Rio Grande into a "burning river of gas" to stop illegals from coming in. Well, now that we've stopped them, Trump has put deportation camps in the Everglades . . . defended by alligators!
15) The Administration is planning on dismissing asylum claims of hundreds of thousands of illegal criminal invaders, making them subject to deportation. Go home and fix your own countries.
16) Kilmar Garcia, who amidst great handwringing by libs, was brought back from deportation, only to be thrown in jail again? Now he has to stay in jail still longer.
17) The Black population of New Azteca (LA) has been ethnically cleansed by illegal criminal aliens. Black New Yorkers have already moved out, hence a radical Muslim mayoral candidate.
IN CULTURAL NEWS
18) There has been a PhD explosion when we need fewer PhDs. This is all about the devaluing of a BA degree and the deliberate elimination of the Master's degrees, forcing people to search for higher pay via PhDs.
IN TRANSOID NEWS
19) The FBI has launched investigations into three children's hospitals for transoiding helpless kids.
20) And DemoKKKrats will rally around this one. Seattle's Homosexual Month had a "science" demonstration that claimed "The Ocean is Queer."
21) UMPC hospital network in Pittsburgh will stop child mutilations.
IN ECONOMIC NEWS
22) New York is building its first major nuke plant in 15 years.
23) The Trump administration won pledges from health care insurers to cut down on pre-certification for procedures.
24) New home sales fell as mortgage rates rose. Shocked.
25), There was a big, mixed ruling on AI as a judge said that while Anthropic can train its chatbot on millions of copyrighted books, it still must stand trial in several copywrite lawsuits later this year.
IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS
26) Next to Iran itself, the ChiComs are the biggest losers in the U.S. strikes, having invested more than $40 billion and desperately needing Iranian oil and/or oil through the Strait of Hormuz.
27) Oil prices have tumbled as both the U.S. and Israel have carefully avoided hitting key oil infrastructure.
28) Trump not only forced the Euros to increase their own defense spending, but in doing so hamstrung them from sending more to the Ukes, whose Rutabaga-era goodies are running out.
29) The utter insanity of the Green Goblins never fails to astound me. Now in this report they claim that Africa . . .AFRICA . . . can jump to net zero, having never even gone through an industrial age. Sort of like Ant-Man in "Endgame" where he goes from a baby to an old man without ever going through his 50s.
IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS
30) Teen idol and "Here Come the Brides" star Bobby Sherman, dead at 81 from kidney cancer. We have hit a wave of these musicians and celebrities dying the last month, all around 80.
31) As feared, the sex trafficking, kidnapping, and other truly heinous charges against P. Diddley have been dropped. You could see this coming when the prosecution didn't attempt to put on ANY witnesses that spoke to these issues. The Prosecution claims that retaining these particular charges would have mixed up the jury. Really.
AND FINALLY . . .
32) About two months ago we lost Stanley, my troublesome dog who nevertheless was a wonderful companion. Our attention was drawn yesterday to a small breed dog with only three legs. He would be perfect with Lissa, who also only has three legs. If all works out, we'll bring him home Friday. Oh, his name?
Stanley.
