HEADLINES: Trump in China; E. Jean Carroll gets nada from court; Harris wants to end the Electoral College
The News of Today is the History of Tomorrow
IN POLITICAL NEWS
1) The ChiComs not only rolled out the red carpet for President Trump, but they restored all beef trade with the U.S. as a sign of goodwill. Speaking of Chy-na, a jury convicted a Chinese-American who headed up the ChiComs' NYC police station guilty of being a foreign agent. Yeah, good. Now do Zero, Cankles, and Rutabaga. Xi, meanwhile, issued veiled threats regarding Taiwan, to which Muy Macho Marco said, "Meh. Nothing has changed." Nevertheless, Trump got Xi to commit to investing "hundreds of billions of dollars" in the U.S. We'll see if the lyin' little commie keeps his word. And once they got home, the staffers on the trip were required to ditch all "burner" phones or any other items they received in Chy-na due to tracking concerns.
2) They're being very quiet about it but the DemoKKKrats have multiple civil wars going on, and are taking it out on the useless Chuck SpewMore.
3) In a Laura Loomer special, Cong. Anna Paulina Luna reported that the CIA had "raided" the offices of DNI Tulsi Gabbard and "removed boxes." Now ODNI says that was false, nothing was raided, and that the DNI still has authority over all documents.
4) A Harris Co., TX DemoKKKrat running for reelection was arrested for the third time.
5) The administration is playing hardball with Kollyforia, the Empire of Fraud, withholding $1.3 billion in federal money due to ongoing fraud in the medical insurance program.
6) Common sense: the Senate advanced a bill to withhold pay from Senators during the government shutdowns that they cause.
7) An appeals court blocked E. Jean "Skankster" Carroll from getting a dime of the $83 millikon she "won" from President Trump. She will never spend any of that money.
8) President Trump's "Anaconda" strategy of squeezing the economic life out of Iran appears to be working based on imagery of zero activity at Kharg Island.
9) John "Can't Carry a Thune" has been a failure at almost everything else, but he has been a star when it comes to getting Trump's nominees confirmed. 49 more in this batch, following a 97 confirmation and, before that, a 67 batch before that. Zen Master tells me all of Trump's judicial nominees have now been confirmed.
12) Rush Limbaugh warned you about this, then I warned you. They are STILL coming for your cars. WA state has a senate bill to prohibit "aimless driving," requiring you to have a "destination" when you drive. Easy. My destination would be to get out of that fascist state.
13) Cackles, now the front runner/loser for 2028, held a "no bad idea" livestream for the DemoKKKrats headed for the ELE by offering such brilliant changes as abolishing the Electoral College (hint, toots: you STILL would have lost 2024), and packing SCOTUS. Ah, see my substack today about St. Thomas of Masshole for some inside baseball on why nutjob suggestions like this are meaningless. These kinds of "no bad ideas" are bad cuz they do not comport at alli with the requirements of government. Take the "pack the SCOTUS" brainfart. To do that you need the Senate (not going to happen in 2026, even by the most optimistic DemoKKKrat estimates) but more important you need a PRESIDENT. The DemoKKKrats are never going to elect another president, in my view, but certainly not in the next 2.4 years. Anyway, good to know that unlike Rutabaga, Cackles has ideas. They're all bad, but at least they're hers.
14) DemoKKKrats at it again? A bomb was discovered underneath an AL dam.
15) As always, behind the curve, as OH now will suspend Medicaid payments to fraudsters.
16) GA governor Kemp signed a new election law for five metro Atlanta counties. It changed a number of races to "non-partisan" status, meaning there won't be a D next to many candidates' name, meaning they will have a much harder time fooling ignorant voters into pulling the lever without even knowing a person's policies. He also called a special session to redraw the GA legislative map, probably netting Rs at least one more, and possibly two more, seats. By my calculations that would bring us back to between 215 and 217 safe. This TN DemoKKKrat already dropped his reelection bid.
17) The FBI continues to make war on the "764" Chile Predator cults. Notice you never even heard about this group in the Rutabaga years. He was too busy sniffing kiddie hair.
18) Former mayor of Coldwater KS turned himself into ICE. You cannot find his party registration but I'm guessing . . .
19) "The Punisher" Pete Hegseth canceled the depoyment of 4,000 troops to Poland. Good. Remove all U.S. forces from Europe.
IN AI NEWS
20) Microsoft planning to shelve its "clean energy" agenda as AI data power makes them untenable. And in this sleight of hand, Amazon and other data-gobblers have finagled a way to get their gas powered data centers covered under existing "clean energy" rules. Sorta like, letting men play in women's sports.
IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS
21) ICE has discovered over 10,000 foreign students associated with "Suspect employers."
IN CULTURAL NEWS
22) Ryan Burge looks at seminaries in the U.S. and concludes a) they are slightly growing; b) Southern Baptist seminaries dominate; c) LIberty U alone is responsible for 10% of all seminarians; d) and lastly student-to-faculty ratios are crazy, often under 10:1 and in some cases 2:1.
23) President Trump has announced creation of a new National Garden of American Heroes on previously vacant land in West Potomac Park. Just guessing here, but I bet we find statues not only to Chris Columbus, Ronald Reagan, Lews and Clark, Paul Revere, but also Robert E Lee, Phyllis Schlafley, Norman Rockwell, Bob Hope, Mercy Otis Warren, and many more.
IN TRANSOID NEWS
24) This is the way. TX AG Ken Paxton forced Texas Children's Hospital to open a De-transition Clinic.
IN UFO NEWS
25) There have been a growing number of mysterious underwater UFO sightings. Any of them named "Poseidon?"
IN ECONOMIC NEWS
27) Walgreens is shuttering a loaction in Benghazi-by-the-Lake (Chicago) thanks to Mayor "let's go Brandon's" high crime, high tax, high spooge policies. Let's go, Brandon. drive EVERYONE out.
28) Jerome Powell is officially out at the Fed today. While that's good news, do not expect a magic redution in inflation. The difference between 1981, when the Fed's influence was strong, and today, when 90% of the money in the world is in eurodollars abroad, is significant.
IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS
29) I'm mixed on this. Parents in Spain were given prison sentences after they isolated their kids for four years following the China Virus. Wrong, yes. But four years earlier wasn't the same gubment threatening parents with jail if they allowed their kids OUT? I would have pled "The state made me do it"
30) Oh? Now the ChiComs want to buy U.S. oil. I say, "Nyet." Make them fly their planes and spaceships on coal.
31) Havana is suffering rolling blackouts as it is drunk, . . . er, sorry. As it is out of diesel and other oil products. Indeed, the world is "burning through its oil safety net." I think this is wonderful. First, it will once and for all drive them out of "renewable" garbage, and second, it will force them to crack down even harder on Iran to keep the Strait of Hormuz open. Meanwhile, in the UAE, it has fastracked an east-west oil pipeline that will be open next year.
IN MEDICAL NEWS
32) While I don't think we'll ever see Dr. Fallacy indicted, more evidence keeps piling up that he was a scumbag diddlesnitcher who, one whistleblower says, "improperly influenced" the China Virus origin report. Now, why would he do that?
33) US overdoses have fallen due to the Trump administration's crackdown on the cartels.
34) There are new charges that the NIH, under Dr. Fallacy, covered up a monkey bite scandal.
35) RFK moves to end overprescribing of psychedelic drugs. Woodstock Generation very disappointed. Yeah, them and the psychiatric drug industry.
AND FINALLY . . .
36) Here I thought John Holmes was dead. A man used his penis to pull a car down the street to "raise awareness" of prostate cancer, pulling it 131 feet. Yeah but now we need to "raise awareness" for penile removals via automobile.
