The News of Today is the History of Tomorrow
IN POLITICAL NEWS
1) President Trump wasted no time in getting rid of Barack Obama's generals, firing the entire Joint Chiefs of Staff. He replaced the chairman with a 3-star general, leapfrogging several 4-stars who were viewed as wokesters.
2) Leave it to James Carville, the Ragin' Cajun to be wrong again. One day after he said MAGA land would "collapse" in 30 days, President Trump came in at 52% in the new Harvard-Harris poll, and 42% say the country is now on the right track, up 14 points from Rutabaga. And Trump's policies? Overwhelmingly popular.
3) In what is probably Trump's/Musk's first misstep, DOGE sent out an email to all government employees asking them to list five things they did last week. The goal, as Musk said, was to weed out all those "employees" who don't really exist or who don't even bother to open their emails. Except it has produced backlash among the Departments---State, DNI, FBI, DOD, and so on. There are two things at work. One is a genuine concern for activities that merely by their disclosure ("I was working on a classified project") could reveal secret info. Second is the old fashioned turf war. "Who is Elon to evaluate MY employees?" You can see how quickly this sets in, even with really good people. Trump is going to have to assemble all these people in one room and clearly lay out the chain of command. I suspect Elon will lose this round, but it is a process that should be done immediately by the Departments.
4) He also appointed MAGA and conservative heavy hitter, Dan Bongino as deputy director of the FBI.
5) In New York state, the GOP gains/DemoKKKrat losses in voter registration total 72,000. Great movement, but a long way to go. New York is still about a three million D advantage, as is Kollyfornia.
6) President Trump killed the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, created by ComanChe (Elizabeth Warren) and all employees were told the building was closed because the lease was cancelled. This is the way.
7) Recently confirmed FBI Director Kash Patel will also be temporary acting ATF director.
8) CIA Director John Ratcliffe has been quiet. Too quiet. Now word is that the CIA will have the largest layoffs since 1977. Gooooooood. And here is a comprehensive list of agencies/bureaus where people are getting the axe.
9) Remember Veeta Vita Vindman? Yeah, he was getting USAID money.
10) Senator Josh Hawley says DemoKKKrats are walking around D.C. "demoralized." Good. The Hill reports that "angry" DemoKKKrat donors are withholding money. Crush the life out of them. BAYONETS!
11) Speaking of Musk, one of his PACs is targeting the key Wisconsin Supreme Court race.
12) The Trump administration has fired 2,000 USAID employees and put all the rest on leave. A very good start.
13) Three Pennsylvania men were charged with election fraud, something a certain "Arizona Data Gnu" said was impossible.
14) The Department of Justice filed a misconduct complaint against Judege Ana Reyes, a pimpledipper of the highest order.
15) President Trump is considering (you know how I feel about that, but these days it's a pretty good bet to happen) merging the U.S. Post Office with the Commerce Department.
16) Delta Airlines released the credentials of the pilots in the recent crash in Canada, with the captain having years of service and active duty training.
17) For now the Supes have blocked the Trump Administration for firing the Office of Special Counsel spoogecake Hampton Dellinger, who says his appointment only allowed him to be fired for "misconduct." Ok, put him in a tiny office with absolutely no work and no connections to any business going on in the OSC.
18) A brawl broke out at a town meeting in Thornton Township, Illinois, near Dolton where America's worst mayor, resides. Henyard and others were hit with a federal suit shortly thereafter. This haglet needs the Lynn Clusterbomb Cheney treatment, i.e., disappeared from the political landscape.
19) AG Pam Biondi removed legal protections for "administrative judges," setting the stage for their removal. She also announced that the Epstein list was "sitting on her desk" for her review. Ah, Pammie, we need it sitting on OUR desks for OUR review.
20) Pollster, former Clinton advisor, and mostly "moderate" DemoKKKrat strategist Mark Penn says the DemoKKKrats are "falling off a cliff" dropping another 5 points in his polling to just 35%. Dunno, Mark. Seems awfully high to me. Meanwhile another so-called moderate, Doug Schoen, says the party needs to make a compelling case to win back America. Er, Dougie, it is daily making a compelling case why it ought to be labeled a terrorist organization.
21) A new urine test detects 92% of prostate cancers.
IN TRANSOID NEWS
22) Public schools across the country are doubling down on DEI despite the fact that it may cost them millions of dollars. This is an evil sickness that must be rooted out.
IN ECONOMIC NEWS
23) President Trump has backed Elon Musks's call to audit the gold in Fort Knox. As I said last week, I think there is more there than anticipated, much of it from the See-Eye-Aaaaaa.
24) Hooters is going into bankruptcy. I guess sales were sagging, prices were inflated, and the perks weren't that good for employees.
25) Apple is committing $500 billion to the U.S. economy. Between the Saudis and others, I calculate already $1.5 trillion has been committed. Hey, maybe Apple could put a Hooters in one of its facilities?
27) Libs now calling on an end to Tesla subsidies. Hey, I'm fine with that. And every other electric car or wind turbine too.
28) Texas Roadhouse Steak houses, after a boom last year, are struggling this year. Likewise, Starburqa announces mass layoffs. Way, way overbuilt.
IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS
29) A dark cloud of fascism is descending across Europe. After the German AfD party scored a shocking 20% second place finish, the ruling fascistic party there says it will ally with the total leftoids rather than talk to the populists. Now France bans a popular television channel for not being diverse enough.
30) China's new anti-stealth drone may mean the era of stealth is over. President
31) The Pentagon announced it was closing its transport hub in Greek Alelxandroupolos giving strong indicators the U.S. is leaving NATO.
32) Moscow is working on a face-to-face meeting between Trump and Pootie-poot.
33) Trump pulled the U.S. out of the Global Church of Climate Change, better known as the IPCC and MSNBC is fretting that Trump may "derail" an international climate report. Goooooooood.
34) Corrupt Bolivian officials just signed a sweetheart deal with the Russkies & the ChiComs for lithium. The public ain't happy.
35) German exit polls show Mertz's RINO "conservatives" are winning, but are hard pushed by the populist Alternative for Germany (AfD). In a proportional representation system, AfD will have tremendous power. And typical Hun insanity from Irena Slav: The Huns are going with more cow manure so they don't have to import Russkie fertilizer---except they are trying to get rid of cows.
36) The Trump administration gave Venezuela nothing for the release of six hostages. This is the way.
IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS
37) These so-called news companies have to be running out of money. NBC just settled a $30 million defamation suit for slandering a doctor for performing "hysterectomies" on illegal criminal alien women. This is on top of ABC's settlement with Donald Trump for over $20 million, the Nicholas Sandmann settlement, the CBS settlement, and the Facebook payout. At some point, their insurance companies have to be saying, "no mas, no mas."
38) Roberta Flack, whose hit "Killing Me Softly" shot her to fame, dead at age 88.
39) Now Megxit is charged with ripping off Pam Anderson's show intro, frame by frame. Is there anything authentic with Megxit and the Ginger Duke except a bad polo movie?
AND FINALLY . . .
41) This is national tortilla chip day. But not national nacho day, as in, Kamela Harris is nacho president. Seriously, I love me some VERY hot sauce. Arizona Reaper, Arizona Scorpion are two of the best. But my brother-in-law brought me some uber-hot pickles at Christmas and said, "These are very hot. No one can eat them." He was right. I cut off 1/4 of a slice and had to spit it out. My son, however, ate a whole slice. So did one of my friends, whose stomach has been a volcano two months later.
