The News of Today is the History of Tomorrow

IN POLITICAL NEWS

1) This is just sexy right here: "Terrified staff left hysterical as well-drilled DOGE nerds storm hyper 'woke' Department of Education." Oh, and now it's official as Trump is signing an executive order putting DOGE in charge of federal downsizing. This will reportedly empower DOGE to "toss entire agencies" and run the government with only "essential" employees. 2) Trump's FEMA grant director said Pffffft to the judge and ordered the freeze on FEMA grants anyway.

3) Elon Musk says that DOGE will start looking at uber rich senators, congressmen, and federal employees who are on a fixed salary and say, "Where, exactly, did that $ come from?" Meanwhile DOGE has made $3.4 billion in cuts in three weeks. Now, let's add two zeroes.

4) Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and his leadership can have access to the treasury payment system, a judge ruled, which is to say Bessent can quickly authorize a couple of DOGENERDS to be on his "leadership team" as consultants.

5) A former Nashville fireman received $1.8 million in a settlement after he was demoted for things he posted on social media. This is the way.

6) PBS took an axe to its DEI department after it tried to subvert Trump's executive over. Not good enough. We don't need PBS . . . AT ALL. And this from someone who had his movie appear on PBS.

7) Meanwhile, this warms my heart from the New York Slimes: "For stunned federal workers (psst---it's EMPLOYEES, but . . .), sleeplessness, anger, and tears." Well, now you know how the rest of us feel keeping you in your cushy NOVA homes. Seriously, these people have no idea how much they are detested by the rest of America that pays their bloated salaries.

8) The USAID scandal continues to unfold, as American taxpayers were doling out $472 BILLION to a climate cult enabler. Meanwhile, Russell Voght at OMB may be a bigger threat to the Deep State and the bureaucracy than even Musk. Well, Russ, don't go all David Stockman on us. Shocked, I tell ya:

9) Daniel Street shows that the entire J6 Patriot Day case against Trump was illegitimate from the get go because of how it was "Improperly started." As Street says, the "Federal Bureau of Investigation allowed a rabid, insubordinate, Trump-hating Assistant Special Agent in Charge to illegitimately add President Trump the January 6 investigation."

10) A judge (who else) has ordered the Trump administration to restore CDC, FDA, and HHS websites that were scrubbed. The response should be, "Sorry. They are completely deleted and are lost in the cloud." Or you could run digital bomb programs so they couldn't open.

11) How do semi-rational DemoKKKrats feel about this? Matthew Ygelsias admits if the DemoKKKrats are seen as shutting the government down, it will hurt them, and that Trump will veto any stupid, brainless provisions they put in a funding bill. So wait for it . . . "There's no obvious winning political strategy" here he admits. Nor is there any obvious winning political strategy in the near future. Trump has them looking at budgets and deficits while he focuses on fraud, waste, billions of dollars going overseas . . . . Who do you think wins that? Republicans lost for decades with the "deficit" issue.. What a great time to be alive.

12) The latest from Ozempic: it may leave you blind. Yeah, but you'll look GOOOOOOD. Meanwhile, Oxford scientists say they have made a breakthrough in teleportation. I suppose that would come in handy when your significant other catches you in bed with an illegal sex alien. Nevertheless, ain't volunteerin' to be the first human test subject. Ever see "Galaxy Quest?"

13) With DOGE looking for missing money, maybe they ought to try the Barack Obama Presidential Library, an $830 million DEI nightmare that may never be built. Sorta like his presidency: overspent and underperformed.

14) Marc Fogel, a history teacher imprisoned for three years in Russia for smoking weed, has been freed by President Trump & the State Department.

15) Trump calls to abolish FEMA and send it back to the states. How Reaganesque.

IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS

16) Border crossings are down 95% from Rutabaga and the IRS agents haven't even come on line yet!

IN TRANSOID NEWS

17) Is the autism epidemic responsible for the transoid epidemic?

IN ECONOMIC NEWS

18) President Trump noted that the elimination of fraud may leave the country with less debt than he anticipated coming in.

Meanwhile, outside of DOGE President Trump has taken back $4 billion pledged to the goofball "climate fund."

19) The Ukes are going to repay our wartime contributions with $500 billion in rare earth minerals. I'm gonna need a defibrillator.

20) Facebook/Meta ("Meta" means death in Hebrew) laid off 3,500 "low performing" employees. Wait, so Elon is in Meta, too?

21) A new breakthrough transforms plastic trash into valuable industrial materials.

IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS

22) DeepSeek is pushing ChiCom propaganda and censorship globally.

23) Remember how "replacement theory" was supposed to be some far right conspiracy theory? Yeah, good times. Why is uber commie lefty Frenchoid Melancon advocating it?

24) Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth laid down the law to the Ukes. No NATO membership, no pre-2014 borders.

IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS

25) Attendance at Disney theme parks down from last year as execs worry that high prices are starting to affect the parks' popularity. Ya think? It's something like $300 per person to get into DisneyLand and Kollyfornia Adventure. A 3 night stay at the Disneyland Hotel for a family of four is close to $2000.

26) Brett Ratner, part of Ratpack/Dune that made "Sully" and "Suicide Squad" will direct Melania's $40 million doc.

27) President Trump said he won't deport the Ginger Duke, Harry, saying his wife is enough of a burden. Heck, Megxit makes Bianca Censori in clothes look good.

28) The Texas House of Representatives passed a resolution honoring Beyonce for her historic achievements at the Grammy Awards. For example, in contrast to other winners, she could actually sing .

29) Trump named Richard Grenell as head of the Kennedy Center.
