The News of Today is the History of Tomorrow
IN POLITICAL NEWS
1) A Supreme Court justice resigned. No, unforetunately, not Justice Johnny but Chief Justice Gordon Macdonald of the NH Supreme Court, for bending hiring rules to, Weinstein-like, benefit a female staffer.
2) Former U.S. senator Jon Kyl, R-AZ, dead at age 84. I knew Jon, he helped me on numerous occasions. His son was my student at Brophy Prep School and we still meet for dinner once a year. Kyl was the last good senator from AZ, everything that the evil McTurd wasn't.
3) Some DemoKKKrat Terror Party members voted to allow President Trump's fraud division to continue an investigation of the Prancing Gheyboy Tampon Timmy. The House voted to make the Fraud Enforcement Division permanent.
4) Is Chris Sununu in better shape than even I thought? DemoKKKrat candidate Chris Pappas has cut his ad buys. In MI, even an anti-Trump Detroit newspaper came out in favor of Mike Rogers.
5) Good. President Trump has opened up new federal lands for hunting and fishing. The land belongs to the people, and ultimately all but the most cherished national parks/monuments should be sold off.
6) This woman claimed her mother donated to ActBlue, then when the daughter got into the accounts, she found "micro withdrawals" and "micro donations" that didn't match the books.
7) More vote fraudsters arrested in TX. Then we have a Russian man sentenced for voter registration fraud in TX. And this: CO man arrested for voting twice. And this: LA mayor arrested in another illegal voting scheme. Six more here. On the one hand, these "onesies and twosies" reflect the continued obstruction of DemoKKKrats and courts in overturning the entire corrupt dead-fish kettle. On the other hand, according to a moronic piddledipper, the Arizona Data Gnu, this just never happens. There is no fraud at all. Thing is, with this much fraud-smoke, you can bet there is heap big fire.
10) Couldn't happen to a nicer place, as Los Angeles county has the highest population decline in the USA.
IN AI NEWS
11) The House voted overwhelmingly on a bill that requires data centers to BYOE (Bring Your Own Energy).
12) OpenAI revealed six more incidents of "concerning" behavior by AI. But how much of this is fear-mongering by the industry itself in order to achieve "regulatory capture," that is, an expensive set of testing standards that the companies do internally that small businesses or startups cannot afford?
13) Universities are concerned that AI is causing "cognitive surrender" among students, i.e., a willingness to just accept whatever AI says. I warned ya! Get books. REAL BOOKS.
14) The ChiComs are taking pages from the Soviet Union's playbook when we had the nuke lead, applying the fear tactics to AI while they try to catch up.
15) What happens when T-1000 fights another T-1000? Now Claude was used to break into ChatGPT. War of the worlds!
16) No, no, no, no, no. Antrhopic is trying to move into drug manufacturing. Absolutely not.
IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS
IN CULTURAL NEWS
19) Ryan Burge's newest column shows that despite harum-scarum headlines, adults and their children mostly get along. There is a pretty big divide (25 points) among evangelical parents and their kids on the question of whether the parents prepared the kids for adulthood. Parents say, "Hell to the yeah," kids say, "ummm, not so fast."
20) Peter Max, the avant garde "trippy" artist of the counterculture era, dead at 88.
22) For you history buffs, here is my review of a very good 2005 book, Retreat from Gettysburg.
23) It's unclear what is going on at the Kennedy Center. Trump says it needs repairs and is collapsing. So does the Board. But a group of "preservationists" says it must be open without the repairs and has sought a federal judge to put it in receivership. Bottom line appears to be that the DemoKKKrats would rather the building collapse than allow President Trump's name be put on it.
IN ECONOMIC NEWS
24) Jobless claims fell to a 57-year low. Welcome to the Trump economy
25) And here we go: Venezuela will remove $4 billion in gold from the Bank of England and put it in the New York Fed.
26) I didn't see this coming,m as "Toys-R-Us" is opening 150 new stores for "kidadults" who haven't grown up. I admit to being partial to Airfix WW II action figures. One time when my parents were away, I took a large fleet of Revelle and Monogram battleships and aircraft carriers I build, laced them with M-80s and Black Cats, poured glue all over them, flooded the garage and had my own battle of Midway as a I set them on fire.
27) President Trump wants the Fed to cut interest rates. But sticky inflation makes that hard. Two days ago, Volckeresque, the Fed raised interest rates a tad, trying to squeeze out inflation.
28) Warren Buffet stepped down as head of Berkshire Hathaway, naming his son to replace him as CEO. He said "You can't outrun Father Time." Er, Warren, you can't outrun God. He just uses "father time" as His mechanism to remind you that you ain't Him.
29) It was "reported" a couple of weeks ago that the Atlanta Fed would bring in an eye-popping 5% third quarter growth number. Yep. Atlanta Fed actually raised its 4.4% estimate to 5.1%.
IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS
30) Oil billionaire Harold Hamm has moved into developing Venezuelan untapped fields. Venezuela also opened up rights to a billion dollar gold mine.
31) Kardashians hardest hit: the fashion industry has increased its climate emissions over 14% in two years. What shall we do? And, oh nooooo Mr. Bill: the Middle East "oil crisis" is making clothes even more expensive.
32) Container shipping giant Maersk will put wind sails on ships to reduce fuel costs. Oops. Diesel is cheaper. And speaking of energy, the Poles had a major oil find on the Polish-German border---enough to cover 5% of their oil needs---but the Huns are resisting cuz, well, it's EVIL OIL.
33) The term "net zero" is just about dead, and the "global warming," er, "climate change," er "net zero" people now will have to find a new term.
34) Cueta, Spain has completely fallen with armies of immigrants surging through the streets as police are helpless.
IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS
35) An Arizona Cardinals football player was fined for writing "Gloryb2God" in his black eye paint. We can have "end racism" splattered all across endzones or helmets, but dang it we cannot give Almighty God one ounce of respect.
36) Spencer Pratt reports that, yep, Paramount is leaving Kollyfornia and that actors, agents, others are already looking at real estate in Nashville. God save Nashville.
37) DId you know you can get a $2m home inside Disney World's resort?
IN MEDICAL NEWS
38) New research suggests melatonin may have even greater pain-relief capabilities than Advil or aspirin.
39) One of the worst cheerleaders of the vaxxes and the lockdowns was the British Journal of Medicine, which now has now in a paper admitted U.S. officials knew the vax safety standards were "flawed" and authorities refused to listen to the FDA doctor who said so. For example, CDC director Rachelle Wollensky said in April 2021 that they had seen no injuries or side effects---a blatant lie. The data shows that "hundreds" of other adverse events besides heart disease and Bell's Palsy were discovered that did not get included in adverse effects, even after it met the CDC's standards for such labeling.
40) Researchers have found what we all knew, that once you start "a" drug---say, a statin---soon you need other drugs to counter the side effects.
41) A link has been found between Epstein-Barr and MS.
AND FINALLY . . .
42) A new cat species has been identified for the first time in 100 years. I guess the new "Puss'n'Boots" marijuna flavored treats lured them out.
