The News of Today is the History of Tomorrow




IN POLITICAL NEWS


1) After successfully negotiating Jay's Treaty, which sent Francophile Jeffesonians into a tizzy, John Jay said he could ride across the country by the light of his own burning effigies. My friends, we may well be able to travel up and down the East Coast by the light of liberal heads exploding into incandescent spooge after President Trump imitated Jay and named his latest round of Deep State Destroyers, a true "MAGA" Avengers.



First President Trump named veteran of several military campaigns, Pete Hegseth, as SecDef---causing lobbyists' heads to explode---and named Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to head a new Department of Government Efficiency to drive large scale structural reform, and create an entrepreneurial approach to Government never seen before.” On one hand, awesome and they will achieve great things. On the other hand, do we really need a new "department?" In other key selections, President Trump put Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence, Doug Burgum at Interior, and Marco Rubio as Secretary of State. And former DNI head John Ratcliffe will head the CIA, inheriting possibly the hardest job in the administration. The other most crucial job in the administration is the Attorney General, and Trump named Matt Gaetz as AG. Gaetz threw all of D.C. into a panic, and he resigned from the House immediately so that Gov. DeSantis could fill his seat in the next 8 weeks before the next Congress meets. Then came the coup de grace (so far): Trump named Bobby Kennedy, Jr. as head of Health and Human Services, the biggest single department in the gubment, and Bobby already is talking RICO and breaking up big pharma, whose stocks all dipped today.


2) Internal RINO bilgefisher John "Can't Carry a Thune" was elected Senate Majority leader in a defeat for MAGA/America Firsters. He will face enormous opposition from the voters, ordinary people, and the Trump administration if he does not get on the Trump Train. Early comments---and they are just that---say he is.


3) This just keeps getting better and better, as now Senate DemoKKKrats are worried not just about the Wise Latina, er, casting off her mortal shell under President Trump, but Dick Turban being strong enough to stand up against Trump's judicial appointments. Relax, Dems. Wooooo-saaaa. You don't have a majority. Begone. You have no power here.


4) Speaking of having no power here, Zero's biographer says he is really worried about his legacy now, as Trump has become the man of the era, not him. Oh, and Trump is now over 76 million votes, or the most legitimate votes ever in American history. You know, received in an election without an asterisk.


5) With Alaskan Nick Begich's victory in the single house race there---a flp---Republicans now stand at 220 with two more races to be called. Three Rs, including Matt Gaetz, who promptly resigned after being named AG by Trump, will leave open seats. Gaetz's seat will have a special election by December, but if the other two are open, the number needed for a majority drops to 217. Gov. Ron DeSantis has already scheduled special elections for the three FL house seats. left open by cabinet picks.


6) Count Dooku, Jack Smith, spent $60 million on his useless witch hunt of President Trump. He should be forced to repay every penny. Now he is stepping down. Trump kicked his ass.

7) In 2016 I wrote How Trump Won explaining his revolutionary approach via rallies and Twitter to end-run the media. Charlie Kirk explains here how Trump conducted an end-run around the media this time by targeting low-propensity voters.


8) Speaking of repaying every penny, DNC leaders are extremely concerned about the massive debt the Cackles campaign left them---and they don't even know the full extent of it yet. Other DemoKKKrat "influencers" are coping hard, saying, "no, things will be better in 2026 and 2028." One reason? Wait for it . . . turnout will be down. Now, think of how massive a statement that is. For 40 years the rule of thumb has been "low turnout favors Republicans." This is an admission DemoKKKrats have lost the common man.


9) The Department of InJustice is going as fast as it can to oppress people, raiding the home of the founder and CEO of Polymarket after it predicted a Trump victory.


10) The Iran data leaker has been arrested. Shocked. He is a Muslim CIA official.


11) Daniel Street identifies several ways to improve voter integrity. Trump's Administration could use the federal Administrative Procedure Act (APA) to change the National Voter Registration Act, and the federal mail voter registration form, to require proof of citizenship for people registering to vote, enforce immigration rules, and use NVRA to force states to clean the voter rolls.


12) More winning as the head of Scientific American just resigned after backlash against her vile anti-Trump rant. One down, 968,742 to go.


13) The FEMA official who directed employees to not respond to homes with Trump signs not only didn't deny it, but said it was a widespread practice due to "political hostility."


14) President=elect Trump has immediate plans to halt chemical and surgical mutilation of minors., while Congress is set to hold UFO hearings.


15) Ruy Teixeira, who has been a sober, level-headed analyst of what is happening to the DemoKKKrat coalition, has brutal numbers for DemoKKKrats in his latest column. Ds since Obama have fallen:

*30 points among nonwhites

*26 points among blacks

*27 points among Latinos

*10 points among white working class

*35 points among non-white working class and, wait for it . . .

*42 points among young black voters


16) A reporter has pled guilty to Patriot Day (J6) charges so that he can get a pardon from President Trump.


17) A House committee has sent an ominous letter to Rutabaga telling him and his administration to "preserve your records." Right. Like after wiping their tookuses with the Constitution they'll obey you now? Meanwhile, wow: over 150,000 gubment employees owe overdue taxes. Might this be grounds for firing? Oh, and the Pentagram, er, Pentagon is scrambling, trying to ditch evidence of DEI before Pete Hegseth lays into them.We're comin' for you, Thoroughly Modern Milley.


18) Whiny Nick Knack Paddywhack Give a Uke a Bomb was given the Minion treatment and had an administration post tantalizingly dangled in front of her then yanked away.

22) A Boeing insider told Christopher Rufo ditched DEI because it came to realize that DEI did not help build airplanes. The whistleblower said "DEI is lazy thought leadership best practiced by companies in smooth waters with margins large enough to afford the associated inefficiency."

26) Advance Auto Parts is closing over 700 locations, as new technology makes it nearly impossible to fix your own car.


27) Consumer prices rose for the 53rd straight month. Is the economy about to "roll over"? Wall Street money manager says that Rutabaga handed over fraudulent books. And now, revisions show core inflation rose again.



29) Rutabaga's regulations legacy cost taxpayers $1.8 trillion, some 800 times larger than Trump's regulation burden.




IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS


32) Javier Milei pulled the entire 85-man delegation to the COP29 climate hoax conference. The latest COP29, in fact, was missing almost everyone, including perpetual scolds such as Justin Trudeau and King Charles. All the major world leaders were absent.


33) David Blackmon on the irony that the supposed anti-meat people at the COP29 are all lined up at the meat line in the buffet.
