The News of Today is the History of Tomorrow

IN POLITICAL NEWS

1) In the ongoing weltzschmerz following the election, alas, the news keeps getting worse as the DemoKKKrats won a majority of state legislatures for the first time in a decade. No one does charts like Bruce Mehlman, and here are over a dozen charts explaining the election. No, it wasn't fraud. It was an ass kicking for people who didn't read the room. I received a private email from a consultant in TX that I'm not allowed to share that a) completely refuted the "stolen election" theory there; b) showed that the rurals were about 2% lower in turnout, when they needed to be about 11% MORE for Paxton/Abbott to win, and that a large number of primary voters for both parties stayed home in the general.

2) This story, however, isn't going away, namely the stealth black money that came into the DemoKKKrat coffers after USAID was shut down. United Futures illegally hid its donors, and now is being probed by the FEC.

3) In one small victory, a judge ruled against AK DemoKKKrat Mary Peltola in a case involving ballots. The race is still uncalled but it now appears the real Dan Sullivan (R) may eke this out. In MS, DemoKKKrat Scott Colom won a thin victory for the U.S. Senate.

4) In the ongoing Epstein Files saga, the House Republicans released a "report" on their investigation---but did not release all the names. Blowhard Congressman Thomas Masshole, who keeps threatening to read them, never seems to get around to it. Nor could the committee come to any conclusion as to whether or not Epstein killed himself. Moreover, the report doesn't even begin to address where all his money came from and where it went. DemoKKKrats are saying they will demand the bank reports. Yeah, sure, until you actually get in office, then . . . "poof." Could, as Jeff Childers asks, the whole op been a CIA/Mossad/Bank of England/Shriners and whoever-else-you-want-to-add conspiracy to blackmail people? So it is a possibility, however remote, that the DemoKKKrats do reopen the Eppy investigations (what would with almost no doubt involve a majority of DemoKKKrat donors. But one ongoing theory seems to escape everyone else's analysis, namely that since Trump came in (and took control of the Eppy files), at least SEVEN major pedo/trafficking rings have been taken down, arresting hundreds and freeing thousands of kiddos. Where did these leads come from? If they came from the Eppy Files, the decisions has been made that freeing real-live kids now and arresting current pedos is preferable to going after people from 20-30 years ago who might have bigger names.

5) Famous conservative jurist Richard Posner, dead at 87.

6) A federal judge struck down TN's religious charter school ban.

7) The Amazing Moron Zohran plans to disband a NYPD counter terrorism group. Of course he does.

8) Fantastic. President Trump has instructed all agencies to move to English only correspondence, letters, and web sites.

9) No one can believe a DemoKKKrat, but newly elected TX Senator Talcumpowder Talirico says he won't support impeachment. If that is true, it would already bring the number who would vote to convict to 54 (with John Fetterman also defecting) driving up to 13 the total number of GOP Senators who would be needed to confict. Don't think they're gonna get it.

10) When "The Punisher," Sec War Pete Hegseth and a party visited the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, someone in the group was admonished by a soldier to maintain silence. Now, The Punisher has awarded a medal to the soldier for his actions.

IN AI NEWS

11) David Blackmon says there is plenty of oil on the water, but not enough in tanks, as Houthi (who dat?) attacks are slowing shipping. Even worse, he reports the S&P Global Summary shows that data centers will add another $5 to $10 billion in costs to consumers. Folks, I keep saying: we must have these data centers and they absolutely must pay their own way, especially when it comes to energy and water. Blackmon warns that if Big Data doesn't figure this out quickly, both parties will beat the hell out of the issue.

IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS

12) ICE deportations hit a record last year, bringing the total for two years of Trump to 1.2 million. (Add in at least that many self deported as well).

13) Of course it does: The company running the Oleaginous Butyraceous Gruesome's vinyard employs illegals.

IN CULTURAL NEWS

14) The Presbyterian Church of the USA is about to hit a milestone---falling below one million members.

15) This is what our dysfunctional, commiefied, sewage-sepulchers of "higher education" have done: one in five college students think the U.S. "deserved" 9/11.

16) Speaking of dysfunctional, Kollyfornia has a big problem with professors teaching multiple paid online classes. One has nine classes, 1,000 students and makes $800,000 a year. Clearly I did something wrong in my career.

IN ECONOMIC NEWS

17) Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang resigned after an affair with a ChiCom spy honeypot was made public. Later, at least one more woman came forward to say she and Huang had done the horizontal mambo. Two obvious takeaways: 1) Why can't such accomplished men keep it zipped? and 2) How much were the ChiComs involved in this? Meanwhile, Commerce Secretary Howard Luttnick is on the hot seat for allegedly blocking investigations into Huang and Nvidia. Combine this with the allegations against Susie Wiles for blockiing RFK's investigations, and it appears the Trump administration is conducting a major internal sweep. Meanwhile, this headline is right for Huang: "How did he have time to work?" and I would say, it appeared he was working pretty hard. Just not on Nvidia. His antics caused a stock drop in over a month of nearly $1 trillion, with a "t."

18) Huang isn't alone in being recalled, as Honda has recalled over 636,000 vehicles.

19) Sales of existing single family homes hit the lowest level since 2010. In large part, this is driven by higher mortgage rates as businesses are now seeing 6.5% inflation.

20) David Blackmon also says to expect state battles over gas vs. electric to go national.

21) More restaurant fallout as the Schlotzky's sandwich chain filed for bankruptcy.

22) Microsoft had a major U.S. outage.

IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS

23) Perfect. Because the Huns were so nutso about oil, now they arwe having to reopen coal plants to keep warm.

24) Working with requested troops from El Salvador, Haitian troops have retaken the major Sylvio Cator Stadium from gangs. The voodoospoogers held the stadium for two years (thanks Bill and Hillary Clinton) and apparently were engaging in human sacrifice there.

25) The world's "driest desert" in Chile has erupted into a massive bloom as rare conditions aligned to rejuvenate buried seeds.
