HEADLINES: Trump pulls the rug on Senate Rs; Collapse of the "resist"; Supe decisions favor Trump
The News of Today is the History of Tomorrow
IN POLITICAL NEWS
1) Contra to claims of certain "influencers" and pollsters, President Trump now enjoys a 47% approval. And no, I don't do polls but for those of you who still do . . . Meanwhile Trump met with the useless Senate Republicans to, ostensibly, sign a new housing bill---but Trump snookered them, bringing up the SAVE Act, which the Senate hasn't passed yet, and saying he won't sign the housing bill til SAVE is passed. This still may not be successful, but the useless scrotumsmoking senators were desperate for anything to make it look like they were busy doing something. Trump, to quote Teddy Swims, "pulled the rug." Meanwhile, Can't-Carry-a-Thune, whose only virtue is in getting a few of Trump's appointees confirmed, is "gleefully" holding up the SAVE act. This walking pustule is vile. Overall the Senate, according to the Hill, is "scrambling for a strategy on the SAVE act to please Trump. Easy, ya bladderburpers: PASS IT.
2) Usually I am the more conservative guy when it comes to estimating, but in Seth Keshel's column today he now has the U.S. House election at 218 R, 217 D in an analysis of leaners. I think it will be a little higher for Rs, 222. Here is an example of why I think at least 218 is warranted: Politico notes that Rs are chipping away at D union support in PA in a key battleground district.
3) As Patrick Ruffini shows, after an original effort involving pink hats and Robert Mueller (Mulehead) prayer candles, the left has completely lost its "resistance" ability. The maggoty leftists had infested much of government, and thought they could successfully use the levers against Trump. For a moment in time, they did: Veeta Vita Vindman, Mulehead, James (Scrotumtoter) Comey, George (Ham Planet) Conway, and others used the FBI, the courts, and other institutions to hurl one roadblock after another in front of the MAGA machine. They could not have predicted what happened by 2024, when the hard fascist left took over with a view of the institutions themselves that was oppositional and hostile. In short, after losing almost total (not quite total, but almost) control of the institutions, the skinwalkers of the left want to bring the whole structure down. At any rate, Ruffini argues that the left is now trying to recreate a prog version of MAGA---which is absolutely impossible because the essence of MAGA is that America was great and we want to restore greatness. As seen below, the fascist gibletpickers on the left hate everything about America.
4) As if we needed more "pwoof," Exhibit A: The House "moderates" (and there's no such thing in the DemoKKKrat Terror Party) prepare for "war" against what they see as the "Freedom Caucus" of the Left, a pretty funny description if you think about it. Remember, though, the so-called "Freedom Caucus" has come up short for MAGA on numerous occasions and is losing power at a time that the DemoKKKrat Unfreedom Caucus seeks to take control. Hakeem "Movin' on Up" Jeffries says he is ready for war. "We have some real fighters," warned one DemoKKKrat clusterbucket. As the Evil Emperor would say, "Gooooooood." Destroy yourselves and save us the trouble.

5) It has been suggested, pretty accurately in my book, that the DemoKKKrat and Republican Parties are nearly gone, replaced by the DemoKKKrat Socialists and MAGA. If you wondered what the DemoKKKrat Socialists of America have as a platform, it includes:
*Abolishing the Senate (Ok, we may have some room for agreement there)
*Defunding the War Department
*Abolishing the Electoral College
*"Freeing" Palestine (whatever the hell that means)
**Amnesty for all . . .
Well, you get the picture.
6) A good day at the Supreme Court as the justices struck down Hawaii's gun laws.
7) Dominion settled a $1.3 billion suit against MyPillow's Mike Lindell. Might it have something to do with the news that new data showed the Dominion machines recorded hundreds of thousands of ballots more than were registered voters? Meanwhile, as Jeff Childers notes in his "Coffee & Covid," Smartmatic, the other operation involved in, ah, questionable vote counting, has been indicted by the DoJ, and Dominion itself was sold to a company owned by a former Republican election official and renamed "Liberty Vote." Yeah, that's the ticket for fraud. It should be obvious why the new company settled. There are still two other electronic ballot-counting outfits, but they are both in red states and not likely partners in crime with DemoKKKrats. In other words, paper ballots are in the likely future, making DemoKKKrats even more apoplectic.
8) In a contrarian thread, Tony Segura, who was prominent in pointing out that the activists at the Cackles' rallies were almost all the same people, none of whom were "home grown," offers a long and persuasive argument that CIA director John Ratcliffe has, in fact, been pretty successful at pruning the Agency. He began with an extended buyout program to get these gerbilpellets to retire---the first ever for an intel agency (but then, how would we know?); he booted 51 DEI hires; he cut scads of "probationary" hires; he ordered a review of over 300 reports, and yanked/deleted/burned 17 for bias or inaccuracy; A good start. But only a start.
9) Three of the eight TX fascist so-called antifa terrorists who were just sentenced to jail were transoids. Seems like a high spooge quotient there, wouldn't you say?
10) The Medicare fraud busts keep coming. Folks, I'm convinced this is far, far bigger than even our own news chanters are saying. For one, I think MUCH of this money was being funneled directly back to DemoKKKrats, but we'll see. Meanwhile, TX bore witness to a bust of over $900 million in fraud. Again, the reliable Jeff Childers has a review of just some of the fraudalicious follicles out there, but that net is dragging in more than tuna.
11) The so called "Newspaper of Record," The New York Slimes can't engage in even the slightest bit of accurate analysis, asking, "Gee, why have murders dropped so much?" Course, it can't have anything to do with the fact that Trump deported over 3.5 million or that he has the NG patrolling D.C., the murder capital of the U.S. (next to Benghazi-by-the-Lake, which is chasing Stalin's "Harvest of Sorrow" murder numbers.
12) In New Azteca (LA), jurors were locked over whether an Uber driver caused the Palisades fire.
13) Jeff Childers, a lawyer, in his "Coffee & Covid" column today suggests that the two big immigration victories yesterday for President Trump at the Supreme Court illustrated that the Court is aware of the volcanic nature of these rulings and is saving some of the biggest ones for last, calling them "saucy." As he put it, "What I immediately noticed in yesterday’s dump of highly controversial immigration cases was that it suggests the final batch of eight orders we have yet to see will be off the chain." Zen Master insists such political reasoning by the justices doesn't factor in. I"m not so sure, but certainly (If my/Zen Master's prediction is correct) the "Birthright Citizenship" case will not be protested, as the Supes will uphold BC. But I suspect (as does ZM) that the mail in ballot case will go President Trump's way---and America's. There is also an "explosive" transoid sports ban case, and Jeff thinks the justices will hit and run . . . outta town! At any rate, the New York Slimes said (gasp) the Supes are "unshackling" the Presidency. Given that the DemoKKKrats will never again gain the Presidency, I guess "unshackling" is a good thing. At any rate, the removal of the Temporary Restraining Order on the more than 350,000 Haitians and Syrians was the largest "de-documenting" of illegals in the nation's history. As Childers exlains, the Supes unraveled a secret method the DemoKKKrat Terror Party were using to sneak in undreds of thousands of illegals "legally" as friendly judges ruled "temporary" equalled "permanent." That's gone now. Sayanora. This could conceivably increase the percentage of deportations by a whopping 10% in one fell swoop, adding over 350,000 to the 3.5 million already gone (to quote the Eagles). Furthermore, as Jeff argues, this cements policy without legislation, as the court just said Trump has full control over immigration and the decisions affect all future administrations. So Trump made policy without legislation. Moreover, Trump did an "end run" SAVE act exec order several months ago. An MA court ruled against it. Bad, right? No. Now it will go (again) to the Supes and once they rule, Trump has SAVE without a single senate vote. DemoKKKrats "jes kain't hep demselves" when it comes to getting the courts involved, not yet figuring out that they are LOSING. Rock on!
15) The Moustache, John Bolton (not Sam Elliott) pled guilty to retaining classified info. Fine? Jail? Both?
16) Even prog Kollyfornians are souring on high taxes. Great. Souring how much?
IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS
17) The Supes ruled in favor of President Trump, saying he is free to end "Temporary Protected Status" for over 350,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians and can deport them now. So, 356,000 fewer DemoKKKrat voters will participate in our elections.
18) This study by the Dallas Federal Reserve puts to rest any notion that illegal criminal aliens are somehow a blessing for the economy. Great piece. For every 1% rise in illegal criminal aliens,
*Home prices rose 2.2% and rents 20%
*Wages fell .087%
*No effect at all on housing construction employment
*Higher enforcement nearly entirely reversed losses
19) FL has permanently closed its "Alligator Alcatraz" after transferring detainees to fed facilities.
IN TRANSOID NEWS
20) America First Legal filed suit against Fairfax County Schools for allowing, in defiance of Supe orders, kiddos to "gender transition" without informing parents.
IN ECONOMIC NEWS
21) The Supes rejected a suit against Monsanto for Round Up, in that federal law that protected such companies took precedence over a Missouri state law. So spray away! But wear gloves and your maskie.
22) Not totally welcome, but historically predictable. Data Center-driven costs are bringing on a "third wave" of inflation. I haven't even recovered from the first two. But this is in keeping with a famous, and insufficiently cited paper years ago by Sheila Hopkins and Sir Henry Phelps Brown that shows inflation never ever comes down, but instead rises in a "stair step" mode with each new economic innovation wave. For example, three previous "steps" were the commercial revolution of the 1400s, the industrial revolution of the late 1600s/early 1700s, the electricity revolution of the late 1800s, and the computer revolution of the late 1900s. So this is right on schedule for a massive economic restructuring of all life.
23) Amidst all the Medicare fraud crackdowns, one result of the fraud is that health insurance premiums have risen. You know, without all those "members" paying in.
IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS
24) The death toll climbed to 188 as twin earthquakes hit Venezuela.
25) Who knows how far this will go, but a resistance is mounting in Europe over gubments' attempts to curtail air conditioning, beginning here with the Frogs. Meanwhile, in these idiotic excuses for modern nation states, . That's what happens when you say "No Mo Oil." Oh, and to escape the heat in their non-airconditioned houses, the Frogs have taken to jumping into . . . canals. The result has been over 40 drownings. French know how to swim, right? The Brits are literally being forced to rip out air conditioners from walls. This is a Roadrunner/Coyote scenario with Mother Nature telling these morons that no matter what they do, it will not affect her or her weather patterns.
26) Xi is rewriting the social contract in Chy-na, changing it from "get rich" to "get even." Standard procedure: No socialist country can really generate wealth, so it generates envy.
27) I wonder why they never thought of that? India's $50 billion green infrastructure is now at risk of . . . weather. You know, like floods and hailstorms and wildfires. When all this shakes out, 50 years from now, honest historians will look back at an mass divergence between the U.S. and the climate hysteria countries and their GDPs.
28) Another sign of Chy-na's s;truggling economy: its "getaway farms," that is, their equivalent of B&B restaurants and low-cost vacay hotels are drying up. Over 84,000 have closed since 2024. Always remember the saying once applied to the USSR: "Chy-na is never as weak as she looks. Chy-na is never as strong as she looks."
29) Saudi Arabia has resumed loading oil at its Ras Tanura port. Meanwhile, traffic in the Strait of Hormuz already returned to nearly half its "pre-war" rate (there was no "war," only an ass kicking message) with 78 ships transiting.
IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS
30) David Clayton-Thomas, the recognizable voice of the band "Blood, Sweat, and Tears," dead at age 84. My homage to one of the most recognizable voices in rock is here.
31) The U.S. lost to Turkey in the World Cup on a last-second goal. The U.S. is still in it via a "knockout round." So, you bring in Mike Tyson to give a love tap to both teams?
33) Another movie churning things up is the German film "Citizen Vigilante," which was banned in Germany so of course it generated over $65 million almost immediately in revenue. Elon Musk, however, made it available free here. Will plan to watch it tonight.
IN MEDICAL NEWS
34) A China Virus vax study blocked by the CDC . . . BY the CDC . . . was released the vax was only 55% effective. And I think that's probably being extremely generous, like, by 54%.
AND FINALLY . . .
35) A new study once again says that mindset matters ("As a man thinketh, so is he") and the study finds many older people improve over time. I know I do.
