THE NEWS OF TODAY IS THE HISTORY OF TOMORROW

REMINDER: Along with Seth Keshel and Ashe Epp I will be hosting a live election night coverage this year. Please go to www.decisionusaonline.com and see how you can help. (Plus we have great gear).

IN POLITICAL NEWS

1) Continuing with the "We really don't know what was in the mind of the second Trump would-be assassin," he merely wrote a book urging Iran to assassinate Trump. I'm sure, though, his motives are a mystery. Meanwhile, the increasingly irrelevant Rutabaga placed a call to President Trump expressing relief Trump was not injured. Trump called the call "cordial."

2) Along with Seth Keshel, I continue to track what I think is the most significant data point this election and it is the sustained, dramatic domination of the recent voter registration in virtually all states that we can track. Just the latest? Pennsylvania: in the last two weeks, Rs have added 33,224 new voters while the Ds only added 21,236. The point isn't that Rs will erase the D lead---they won't---but in a fairly narrow election, Rs have more than eliminated the difference between Trump and Rutabaga in 2020. In terms of early ballot requests, Rs are down 55,000 (14.8%) so far from 2020, but Ds are down 303,000 (27.5%) from 2020. The actual numbers are staggering given that Rutabaga "won" by 80,000 in PA. Right there is the election, even assuming that many Ds won't vote Trump (they will). Also note that the fraud margin is dramatically reduced. By the way, the latest Pennsylvania poll has Trump up 2, a terrible sign for Cackles as it means he may be up 4.

3) But that's not all: overnight numbers from Maricopa Co., Arizona show continued gains of Rs over Ds there, now with a margin just in the county of 163,085. An interesting fact is that the voter rolls were purged since 2020 of non-existent people, dead people, and DemoKKKrats (but I repeat myself) and while some 32,000 Rs were purged, 100,000 Ds were purged. So the GOP made up an additional 68,000 on the rolls (supposedly, of living people). Keep your eye on these voter registration stats, as they will matter even before November. As if to add an exclamation point, Insiider Advantage's PA poll has Trump up 1, while Trafalgar has him has him up about 2 in PA and GA.

4) Maybe that's why CNN's Harry Enten warns that Cackles already is polling in the "danger zone."

5) Pigs are truly flying. Chris Cuomo sincerely apologized to President Trump. Wow.

6) A boy was trapped between two boulders for nine hours before rescuers could free him. Thank God he didn't have to cut his own arm off as in the movie.

7) Black voters slammed the mayor of Benghazi-by-the-Lake (Chicago) for putting illegal criminal aliens ahead of them. I actually believe President Trump could do a (well guarded) town hall near this area and knock it out of the park.

8) To quote the 60s band "Buffalo Springfield," "Somethin's happenin' here, what it is ain't exactly clear." The feds, taking time off from attacking ordinary conservative Americans, for some reason are on a jihad against New Kabul (NYC) and the officialdom under Mayor Eric the Red Adams. They already indicted and investigated some. Now they have arrested two former FDNY chiefs for taking bribes for hurrying along inspections. Well, if you ever saw the movie, "The Money Pit," you'd know why that might happen. But I'm not sure yet what is happening here.

9) Speaking of "somthin's happenin' here," how is it that the "flat broke" Trump would-be assassin managed to fly around the world? And I can't even afford a trip to Universal? Meanwhile Erik Prince of Blackwater mercenary group says it's statistically impossible to have both Trump assassins appear in commercials for BlackRock, the capital/land gobbler.

10) This is the way: a man expertly humiliates FascistBI agents who showed up to question him about a social media post: 1) Film the exchange, 2) Demand PHOTO ID, which they refused to produce; 3) Do not let them in your home.

IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS

11) A Texas DemoKKKrat judge blocked AG Ken Paxton's attempt to prevent 210,000 mail-in ballots from going to illegals, and Paxton has already appealed.

12) Shocked. Twitter/X posts show the mayor of Springfield is a Black Looters Matter supporter and a radical maskiopath.

IN TRANSOID NEWS

13) Big victory for the good guys, as major corporations have now responded to public pressure and have pulled out of a homosexual/transoid "index."

IN ECONOMIC NEWS

13) Porn site OnlyFans payments have surged to over $6 billion in 2023. That's a lot of "ooohhhh, babies."

14) Amazon has ordered employees to return to office/facility work five days a week. Seems Amazon doesn't believe that "work from home" is productive.

15) Red Lobster has exited bankruptcy with $60 million in cash and may make it.

16) Big story here: BP is to divest its wind unit in an effort to boost competitiveness. (Translation: wind loses money).

17) The Pentagon has given $1.5 million to a fake meat company.

18) Not only is AI going to suck up energy, but it's going to place a massive run on copper.

IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS

19) Ukraine is virtually disappearing with the lowest birth rate in the world and the highest death rate. Wow, higher than Benghazi-on-the-Lake? Course, that's not a country. Meanwhile, in Honduras "eco-activist Juan Lopez was murdered.

20) There are ongoing arrests of ChiCom spies. How does the FascistBI/Department of INJustice have so much time to pursue President Trump, aides to the New York governor, ChiCom spies, mount Russia Hoaxes? It's clear these agencies have too much time and too many people.

21) Hundreds were wounded when pagers detonated in Lebanon. But, you know, "TheReligionofPeace" (trademark)

IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS

22) We all kind of expected this: Sean "P. Diddly" Combs has been arrested for a number of sexual abuse claims. The indictment includes the much-overused RICO conspiracy and sex trafficking, which was probably understated.

23) Cooking show star Ina Garten (whom I've seen in person) said that she secretly separated from her husband, Jeffrey, in the 1970s because he had "really annoying expectations of her." Like what? That unlike Paula Deen she didn't use two sticks of butter as a base for every dish?
