    IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) As bad as the Republicans' performance in Congress has been, it is becoming clear that, well, at least they don't want to kill you as the DemoKKKrats do. Hence, the GOP generic approval is at 52%, a 10-point lead over the Party of Evil. And in the wake of Trump's successful Middle East Peace and Prosperity for All tour, his approval now is back to 55%, an 11 point lead. 2) The House passed the "Big Beautiful Reconciliation Bill" that killed wind and solar subsidies, eliminated the tax on tips by a single vote with several Rs being obstructionist and 3 DemoKKKrats dead, made other tax cuts permanent, and no, did not eliminate the tax on Social Security. One step at a time. By the way, the margin of victory was that of three dead DemoKKKrats who have yet to be replaced. Seth Keshel provides a good analysis of the bill here. 2) Phil Collins sang there is "something in the air tonight. Oh Lord!" Well I have little real evidence---mostly a Spidey sense tingle---but it seems like we're on the cusp of major DOJ moves against the Cabal. First, cleaning up some old garbage, a former contractor to USAID was extradited to the U.S. and convicted and sentenced for conspiracy to commit fraud. Then DemoKKKrat Congresswoman LaMonica McIver was charged by N.J. Federal Prosecutor Alina Habba for assaulting law enforcement officers and arrested. However, , the mayor of Newark, who entered the ICE facility with McIver, was released, presumably because there was not assault charge. Then Pam Bondi's DOJ announced an investigation of Chicago Mayor "Let's Go" Brandon Johnson for racial hiring.. Then Bondi announced a reconsideration of a Rutabaga-era rule that prohibited the DOJ from investigating corrupt congressmen, then followed that up by (allegedly) rescinding another Rutabaga-era rule that would allow investigators to search reporters' phone records to find leakers. Of all the things that this DOJ has done---and it's MANY---it appears that clamping down on leakers is near the top. Then Bondi announced an investigation of Andrew (Nipplepin Venthoarder) Cuomo for nursing home deaths during Covid. Step by step. 3) Meanwhile in D.C., newly-appointed Judge Jeanine Piro notched her first win with the successful sentencing of former 4-star Admiral Robert Burke on charges of bribery. And Ed Martin, the new "weaponization czar," says "accountability is coming." I"m way past accountability. That was in 2016. I want revenge. Painful revenge. To that end, President Trump announced they are going to investigate who used the autopen and whether it was legit. And the FBI just terminated Count Dooku (Jack Smith's) "public corruption" squad. 4) Jarrett Stepman is correct when he says that Rutabaga's was the "first deep state presidency." I kept saying his government was run by cabals, as he was brain dead. This is what a Hitleresque government looked like, with different schemers in different departments pushing their individual agendas. He correctly argued in a previous column, as have I, that the DemoKKKrats "jes kain't hep it," and that they are tied to the Deep State no matter what the electoral consequences. We will keep uncovering more hideous, illegal behavior because as he notes the Biden presidency was a "scandal of historic proportions." 5) The GOP in the House extended its majority by yet one more (Two others died a couple of months ago) as vaxxed Gerry Connally of Virginia shed his mortal coil. GOP majority is now 8. But the GOP, on the other hand, has the scandal of Congresswoman Nancy Mace displaying her breasticles in pictures, claiming that the pics were taken without her consent (begging the question of how did someone get a camera within mammary range?) and now PA Congressman Ryan Mackenzie is involved in a scandal about lying about his age on TINDER. 6) Under Trump, federal law enforcement and border security applications are soaring. 7) Ongoing investigation into J6 Patriot Day shows that the FBI had some 26 "informants" bussed in to the protest. 8) Now the coverup is that Rutabaga "may not have known" about his aggressive Stage 4 cancer because they didn't do the standard PSA test on him because it "cost too much." Seriously. It didn't "cost too much" to shut down entire cities for him to swoop in and do a speech, or to go on vacation more than even Congress. Noooooo. Meanwhile, "The Forehead," Paul Begala, says, on, no, DemoKKKrats' credibility is not hurt by the Rutabaga lies. More delusion. But the "sensible liberals" such as Ruy Teixeira look at the Catalyst voting data and are positively screaming warnings that the DemoKKKrats are going into shark-invested waters toting leaking bags of hemoglobin. 9) According to the UK Guardian, Ron DeSantis is drifting, in large part because of his ill-advised presidential run against Trump. 10) "The Punisher," SecDef Pete Hegseth, says the Pentagon has pivoted from Russia to China as the main adversary. With President Trump, he unveiled ...

    IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) The Supes just lifted the lower court's block on temporary protected status for the Venezuelan gang bangers in an 8-1 decision. Jumpin' Jackson Brown the only holdout because she doesn't know where Venezuela is. DemoKKKrats deeply disappointed. Huge victory for Trump. 2) More fallout from release of the Biden-Hur tapes as Fakey Jake Tapper continues his "I didn't know" book tour. The tapes beg the question---showing that Rutabaga absolutely had no mind or memory---of who was running America and why did anyone (Republicans included) let it happen? The New York Slimes claims those who championed Rutabaga "now seek atonement." No they don't. They seek to lie and get away with it again. They all knew---we all knew---from 2020 on that Rutabaga was a swiss-cheese-brained analpickle who at his best was a barely aware fascist and at his worst was an Alzheimer's patient who was a fascist. Meanwhile, Congressman Ro Khanna said Rutabaga had no business running in 2024. Really Rolo? Did you say that at the time, oh profile in courage? COMMENT: Over the weekend someone noted that "Republicans don't like being in the majority---that they love to raise money being in the minority". I think there is merit in that idea. Unless you are willing to use power ruthlessly to expand your power, well, the majority takes all the arrows. And Republicans have shown they still haven't recovered from the 1995 "government shutdown" where they were portrayed as Grinches. No one was better at pointing this out than the late great Rush Limbaugh. They prefer to oppose, then negotiate deals that personally benefit them for their eventual support. In the meantime, to show they are "nice guys," they play ball on confirming truly evil people such as Grand Moff Garland to appointed positions and rubber-stamping DemoKKKrat president judges. Nevertheless, I believe this is far more about psychological damage that they have not addressed rather than money. Some have broken free: Lee Zeldin at the EPA, Chris Wright at Energy, RFK, Jr. at HHS. Kristi Noem is a work in progress. But few in the Congress are mentally healthy yet. Certainly not the darlings of the libertarian movement, Chip Roy and St. Thomas of Louisville, who are pure opposers and never created or built any coalition to do anything.. Fixing this won't come from Trump's leadership. Only so much he can do. Fixing this requires new people of a Kari Lake mentality, who absolutely don't care about the media---especially the douchesouffles at the Bullshit or National Rectum Online. We need congressmen with the fangs of Zeldin, Kennedy, Wright, Tom Homan and others in the administration. And that will not be a short process. 3) The House's version of Trump's "big, beautiful bill" has passed a key House obstacle after suffering a temporary defeat last week. On dropping Social Security taxes, House Rs say that the Senate has told them it's a non starter. Put it in anyway and make THEM take it out. 4) Biden officials admitted to being "awed" by Trump's incredible Middle East moves. "I wish I could work for an administration that moved that quickly," said one. But here's the reality: Trump has about three years to so solidify and establish peace and prosperity---so that any new administration can't undo it for decades---that he has to move fast. 5) Every once in a while the Wall Street Journal gets something right: What's the point of having a majority if you don't do anything with it? I have written at length about the utter suicide of the House (of course, not just under Republicans). The simple fact is that nature abhors a vaccum, and if the House won't act, a president will. 6) The FBI is moving out of its Washington HQ and 1,500 employees will be distributed across the U.S. 7) Nine inmates in New Orleans escaped from a jail in a hole behind the toilet. Shades of Shawshank. Meanwhile, a large sailing ship flying the Mexican flag crashed into the Brooklyn Bridge. 8) A new Emerson poll continues to make hash out of all those "Trump is underwater" pollsters, as he is at 47% approval in New Jersey---which he lost by 6! In fact, he is polling 6 points better than the DemoKKKrat governor, Phil Murphy. Meanwhile, the NC GOP net gained yet another 788 Rs. Andmore good trend lines for the GOP as Miami-Dade, FL, one of that last big D holdouts there, flipped red with a GOP +38,000 gain in voter roll purges. Weird, huh, when you clean the voter rolls REPUBLICANS always gain? Why is that? Meanwhile, the one bright spot for DemoKKKrats, PA, where they have gained four weeks in a row, has steadily slipped (last week only +500) so it looks like the impact of the DemoKKKrat primary there is wearing off. 9) Good news out of OH as AG Dave Yost, not a bad guy but not a MAGA warrior, dropped out of the governor's race leaving Vivek Ramaswamy as the likely nominee. Vivek will wtill probably have to contend with former OSU football coach Jim Tressel. 10) A lunatic bombed a ...

    IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) Thank you President Trump for ending the invasion by the illegals: drug overdose deaths are down to the levels before the pandemic. One of the many reasons his approval is up to 52% again. 2) I keep sayin' it and sayin' it. Ain't I been sayin' it for ten years? The DemoKKKrats are incredibly pessimistic about their own party. And they should be. They cannot win any of the three (now, maybe four) Civil Wars. Here's an example, with Providence, R.I. hoisting the Pale flag of the Hamas Murder Pirates. 3) A former national guardsman was arrested in a foiled ISIS attack on a Michigan military base. 4) After arranging, Bill Clinton-style, rocks on a beach that said "86 47," i.e., "kill" President Trump, the evil and treacherous James (Scrotumtoter) Comey now says he didn't know what it meant. He needs to be in lockup with the Aryan Nation bros. Lawyer Jeff Childers notes that cases on this are mushy, but that Scrotumtoter is "about to enjoy a government-mandated proctological expedition." DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said what Pam Bondi should have said, that he belongs behind bars. This is very serious for Scrotumtoter, because if there is a search warrant and the Fibbies find, say, kiddie porn or other threats against Trump, Scrotumtoter will be, well, toting someone else's scrotum at Rikers. 5) As Seth Keshel re-posts, the DemoKKKrats would have been so much better to not steal 2020. Trump was much weaker, still saddled with backstabbing insiders like Pence, not yet refined by the fire of lawfare and the stolen election. But you have to understand this: they kain't hep demselves. Their TDS is so massive that it distorts every aspect of their life. 6) President Trump's geopolitical strategy appears to be focused on controlling five key chokepoints of water. 7) Zero's Presidential Library makes Nazi architecture look human. I wonder if there is a basketball court? 8) About time. The FBI has removed the entire FBI J6 (Patriot Day) "pipe bomber" team from the case. 9) Judge Jeanine Piro was sworn in and already announced her first sentences as D.C. prosecutor. Too bad they aren't senators. 10) The U.S. Navy has 300 ships. And 300 admirals.. 11) Florida becomes the second state to ban fluoride IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS 12) Drug overdose deaths have fallen to the lowest level in five years, much of that due to President Trump's sealing of the southern border. 13) Minnesotans will face $200 million in property tax hikes to make up for paying health care to illegal criminals. 14) This is utterly absurd. Kristi Noem, who has been pretty good, supposedly is considering a reality show where people compete for fast track citizenship. What, "Running Mexican?" 15) Homicides in Denver are down 60% following ICE deportations. 16) Wow. 63% of Americans support mass deportations. IN CULTURAL NEWS 17) Despite sanctions, Harvard continues to feed its anti-white discrimination machine. IN TRANSOID NEWS 18) A transoid boy won three girls' racing events in Illinois. Look at the difference. Gross and evil. IN ECONOMIC NEWS 19) Inflation fell again, "more than expected." And I ask the same question I always ask: who are these morons doing the "expecting and why are they always wrong?" 20) Tractor maker John Deere announced higher earnings and reaffirmed a focus on U.S. manufacturing. 21) From Axios no less: "Hard data" suggests inflation fears and recession predictions are "overblown." Gee, wonder who else said that? 22) Jobless benefits hold firm, layoffs remain low. 23) United Health is now under criminal investigation. IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS 24) With Trump touring the Gulf and getting incredible support, Iran has begun to offer concessions with its nuke program. His deals in Qatar alone amounted to $243 billion. 25) The United Arab Emirates bestowed its highest civilian honor on President Trump. 26) The reverberations of Trump's "most important speech ever" in the Middle East continue be heard. 27) Trump told Apple not to build in India. Make it American made, ya losers. 28) "Rogue" devices have been found in ChiCom supplied solar panels that could disable the grid. Shocked, I tell ya. Why would the nice little ChiComs do that? 29) President Trump has given Iran a nuke deal proposal and said they need to move quickly or "something bad" is going to happen. IN CHINA VIRUS NEWS 30) Good. RFK's Health and Human Services is ending the recommendation to vaccinate kiddos with the China Virus vax. Crosby, Stills & Nash would be singing "Long time comin', gonna be a long time gone." AND FINALLY . . . 31) This makes you wanna fly, right? A plane flew for 10 minutes with no pilot as the first officer passed out when the captain was in the toilet. For TEN. MINUTES? What did he eat before takeoff, Big Botha's Curry Delight?
