The News of Today is the History of Tomorrow



IN POLITICAL NEWS


1) The big election news was that the Republicans won two FL special elections for the U.S. House, while losing a Supreme Court election in WI. But they also won a constitutional amendment in WI requiring photo ID to vote. Of course, the doomspoogers were all over the WI loss, dismissing the FL victories as either not a big enough margin or as "they were R anyway." Not the way to view it. Since February, the Rs are 6/9 in special elections, and if you include the WI constitutional amendment, 7/10. Meanwhile, people keep forgetting the DemoKKKrats lost two Congressmen to the grim reaper and thus over the last six weeks have dropped down by an additional FOUR in the House (+2 in FL, =2 to Hela, Goddess of Death). At any rate, notions that some how the WI Supe race automatically means different redistricting and/or a loss of seats in the House is silly. In NC, the state Supes chucked a state legislature map only to have the US Supes reinstate it, and as I understand it, the WI Senate is +1 R anyway. But doomspoogers will doomspooge.



3) Pam Bondi put up a "firewall" around the whole Hegseth "Signalgate" nothingburger. Say goodbye to that stupid issue. She also killed a stupid Rutabaga "voter suppression" suit.


4) The US military has imposed same standards for everyone, men and women. Good. There is only do, or do not. Of course, a court immediately blocked this. At some point either Justice Johnnie is going to have to get off his ass and actually be a Chief Justice or the admin will just have to start ignoring all courts. And speaking of courts, Daniel Street reviews three recent Trump court wins.


5) Pennsylvania continues to move Republican, as Rs knocked another 6,000 off the D lead in that state, bringing it down to 93,00 D advantage with a flip now scheduled for July 2026, about six months later than I predicted. And New Jersey Republicans gained a net of 4,500 last month in registrations. A long way to go, but more than 10,000 sliced off the D lead since the election.


6) Elon Musk says the gubment tried to delete over a terabyte of data, but DOGE has recovered it.



8) Another stupid judge ruling as the GA fraud suit after 8 years was dismissed on . . . wait for it . . . "standing."


9) Well that had to be a weird dinner: President Trump, Kid Rock, Bill Maher, and Danta White. Betcha they sang "Sweet Home Alabama" all night long.



11) This poll says Texas AG Ken Paxton would crush current senator John Cornhole in a primary.


12) A staffer for DemoKKKrat Senator BookerT&theMSGs was arrested for carrying a gun into the Capitol. Will he get the same extreme sentences as grandmas who took selfies on January 6, 2021 (Patriot Day)?


13) Big Mike said that Zero was not "financially sound" at the time of their marriage. Who coulda guessed? Zero seems so talented in business. Meanwhile this new book says Zero was working against Cackles in the 2024 race thinking she couldn't win. He was right.


14) The FascistBI admitted it silenced agents about Crackhead's laptop in 2020 to help Rutabaga win.


15) Meanwhile Rutabaga's chief of staff who said he was "as sharp as a tack" admits in a new book he lied and Rutabaga was as brain-dead as seaweed.


IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS


16) Hey, remember how "demographics is destiny" was gonna allow the DemoKKKrats to dominate elections? Yeah. Good times. Now it looks like Trump CARRIED new immigrants. This is one of the most ironic and important screwups by the DemoKKKrats ever, as they encouraged REPUBLICAN voters to come into the country.


17) The Trump administration has deported 100,000---very good, but need to add two zeros.


IN CULTURAL NEWS



19) The "Great Grovel" ---how Trump forced the universities to bend to his will. Easy. They are hogs. They only respect money and won't spend their precious endowments. Take away the money, they grovel like panhandlers on a Saturday outside the mall.


IN TRANSOID NEWS



IN ECONOMIC NEWS



22) The Biden Recession is upon us, as first quarter GDP fell 2.8%, although the jobs market is holding steady.


23) Tesla deliveries have plunged as whackadoodle libs take it out on Elon. Christopher Rufo argues that Trump must act so stop the wave of anti-Tesla vandalism.


24) Corporate mentions of ESG in earnings reports disappeared. Some blame President Trump, others look at, er, earnings.


25) Hiring jumped 155,000 in March with the PRIVATE sector adding the majority of the jobs. And construction spending rose, outpacing a year ago.


26) President Trump's "Liberation Day," April 2, was the day that the U.S. began to tax others rather than Americans with tariffs. Not surprisingly, both Me-hee-co and Canada backed off their anti-US tariffs.


27) Zelle has shut down its digital payments app because no one was using it.


IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS


28) Fentanyl is at the core of the ChiCom war on America.


29) Israel has moved to end all tariffs on US imports.


30) Now this is a big deal. China is investing in a megadam that will re-route water through SE Asia. This is a very good column by David Blackmon on the need to get moving on real "infrastructure," not DEI poodledroppings.


IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS


31) The great Val Kilmer, whose "Doc Holliday" role was NOT given an Oscar in an act of cinematic crime, dead at age 65 of pneumonia. Kilmer's "Iceman" in the classic "Top Gun" will also never be forgotten.


32) Disney's atrocious remake of "Snow White" bombed so bad it's already off the #1 slot replaced by Jason Statham's "A Working Man" while the latest movie-release of "The Chosen"---on a handful of theaters---came close to shoving Snow Black to #3.


33) Psycho Joe and Yoko are losing young viewers in droves. I guess singing "Give Peace a Chance" every morning isn't resonating.



AND FINALLY . . .


34) This could actually be funny. A movie that Warner Bros. had shelved, "Wile E. Coyote v. Acme" has been bought out and will be made. I always did think Wile had a good case, particularly with those faulty rockets, no doubt made by the Euros.
