The News of Today is the History of Tomorrow





IN POLITICAL NEWS


1) President Trump's SecDef nominee, Pete Hegseth, says as long as Trump backs him, he won't withdraw. I am beginning to think Hegseth is "Lee" at Chancellorsville, fixing the Union Army's attention on him while Stonewall Jackson marches around the flank. In this case, Jackson is Tulsi, RFK, and Kash.

Suddenly no attention at all is focused on them, suggesting they may coast through. As of today, I think Hegseth is only 2-3 votes short. This story says there are "zero" opposed, but I don't believe that. And I do believe that Fetterman Massacre, the Human Ox, might be a yes.


2) I really hope no one is listening to liberal Ruy Teixeira: he notes that the DemoKKKrats problems are far deeper than tinkering around the edges of "economic populism" (i.e., Dinobernieism) but rather almost all the voters who shifted right cited multiple issues with the DemoKKKrat party as moving way too far left. Those issues included immigration, transoidism, and wokism. For example, 66% of working-class voters thought the DemoKKKrats had moved too far on all these issues. Among swing voters, cultural issues were THE most important concerns.


3) And this lib whines that Trump "didn't deserve to win, but we deserved to lose" because of horrid governance. For example, one judge ruled that New Kabul (New York City) cannot even padlock the doors of illegal weed shops.



5) Jeff Bezos is "optimistic" about Trump 2.0, wants to help reduce regulations, and is proud that the WaCompost didn't endorse.. Er, Jeffrey old man, the right move would have been to have endorsed Trump. But whatever.


6) The Department of INJustice is supposedly investigating allegations against Count Dooku (Jack Smith).


7) A powerful new DOGE rule will force millions back to work, and, we hope, many of them quit.



9) Rutabaga is considering pre-emptive pardons for Liz "Clubsterbomb" Cheney, Dr. Fallacy, and many others. Unfortunately for him, O.J., D.B. Cooper, Jack the Ripper, and the kidnapper of the Lindbergh baby are all dead now. Meanwhile, he managed to fall asleep in a meeting of world leaders.



11) A CNN analyst says Elon Musk is $100 billion richer since the election. Heck, we all are richer. I'm about fie dollah richer.

12) Commissioners at Miami-Dade county, once a pure DemoKKKrat stronghold, proposed renaming a street Donald J. Trump avenue. i


13) Cryptic comments "depose," "deny," "defend" were etched on the bullets that were used to kill the United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Meanwhile, Taylor Lorenz is giddy about killing CEOs: "We want these executives dead."


14) We knew this. DemoKKKrats used pressure on Capitol Police to show favoritism to the murderer Michael Byrd who shot Ashli Babbitt with no cause.


IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS


15) Laken Riley's killer sentenced to life in prison. Bring back firing squads, and load me up.


IN TRANSOID NEWS


16) It looks as though the Supes may retain the ban on transoid surgeries for minors. Good. Should ban all such surgeries. Vox b very afraid.



IN ECONOMIC NEWS


18) This economist claims American productivity is strong, and has grown a great deal in the service industries. Nevertheless, overall it remains stagnant. He also notes that hiring "has returned to recessionary levels" in value-added white collar jobs, although the job churn since the China Virus has resulted in more self-employed people. Lots of new business entries---largely by necessity. He wrongly attributes the inflation to the rapid post-Covid buildup. The inflation we have is catastrophically higher than whatever new businesses can account for.



20) A Delaware judge ruled against Tesla's $50 million bonus payout to Elon Musk. And speaking of Musk, his TN AI plant will be astoundingly massive in computational power: with one billion graphics processing units (GPUs).


21) Good suggestions here for a Republican energy program that emphasizes a "renaissance" in nukes, a conservation-based approach (vs. "climate"), and a return to TR's "community conservation," where federal lands are actually used by people. Oh, and "drill baby drill."




IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS


24) We're probably headed for this as a member of the Bahama parliament threw a ceremonial mace out the window during a session of parliament.


25) Me-hee-co seized a record level of Fentanyl just days after Trump's tariff threat.


26) Ford UK is begging for more EV subsidies cuz, you know, EVs just sell so well without them.


27) Islamofascist rebels have taken a third Syrian city.


IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS


28) Sean Lennon, John's son, says Yoko Ono has "never moved on from John." And most of us have never moved on from her so-called musical album.


IN CHINA VIRUS NEWS



AND FINALLY . . .


30) Just a pet peeve today: sifting through the news it's amazing how many stories are non-stories. I'm not talking about UK Daily News and who is dating whom, or who lost 20 pounds. I mean stories that start with "So-and-so mulling doing x, y, z." Last I looked, "mulling," "considering," "thinking about," "pondering," "prepared to," "poised to," "ready to," or any other mush phrases that do not involve ACTION are not news. Heck, I'm mulling a Pulizer and am prepared to accept a Nobel Prize for Literature. Heck, I'm even "entertaining" the notion of guest-starring on "Landman" next season.
