The News of Today is the History of Tomorrow





IN POLITICAL NEWS


1) President Trump's inaugural schedule has been released, and yes, on January 20, there is time scheduled to sign a ton of executive orders. Rutabaga will be a dim memory before midnight, and we don't even have dementia.


2) Rutabaga, on his way out, and thinking he was Ike, warned of a "tech-industrial complex" four years after said complex installed him illegally as president. We'll take it under advisement, spoogemitten. Meanwhile, the reviews are in and the Atlantic says Rutabaga had a "tarnished" legacy. No, he had an evil feces-ladled legacy. "He seemed to fade into the background almost from the beginning, seldom using his bully pulpit to rally public support or explain his vision for the country." Actually, he overused the bully pulpit, not to rally, but to demonize and attack. His Fourth Reich Speech will go down as the most terrifying in American history, and the most evil. Oh, and he commuted the sentences of over 2,400 drug violators.


3) Denmark says it's up to the Greenies if they want to join the USA. Greenie PM says "Da" (or whatever they say there), people say "Da" but some in their parliament so "Nyet" cuz they'd lose their power.


4) Whereas in 2017 no corporate CEOs would get anywhere near President Trump, now they are creating commemorative products for his inauguration, such as this Diet Coke.


5) Seth Keshel has a good analysis of why red states have safer voting, for the most part. Most have laws that limit mail-in voting, ballot harvesting, and other fraud-engendering policies. He has a similar look at how the blue states almost uniformly have the weakest election integrity laws.


6) Governor Ron DeSantis appointed his own AG, Ashley Moody as U.S. Senator to replace Marco Rubio. She has supported some suits in favor of Trump and sued FEMA for discriminating against Trump supporters getting hurricane relief. Not clear yet what this means for DeSantis running for this seat or for president in 2028. Meanwhile Ohio Governor Mike DeWeenie appointed Jon Husted, a party insider, somewhat conservative. He's no J. D. Vance populist. Should have been Vivek. Husted brought no challenges to the vax regime of DeWeenie.


7) President Trump is already moving away from the income tax with the "External Revenue Service" that will handle tariffs.


8) The FascistBI and Department of INJustice have deleted ChiCom malaware from thousands of computers.


9) Speaker Mike Johnson removed Ohio's Mike Turner from his seat on the intel committee because of his ChiCom ties. Good. Turner was my congressman for years. Always voted "right," but you could tell he really, really didn't want to.


10) As expected, all Kollyfornia insurance holders are likely going to have to pay for the wildfires and the evil and incompetence of Kollyfornia's ruling class. And residents have sued Edison Utility for its role in the fires. Fine. Now do the idiot mayor Karen ASS and the head of the Lesbian All-Action Fire Department. And Gruesome and ASS diverted millions from fire fighting for homeless and illegal criminal invaders. Meanwhile a Brit dog-walker has drawn praise for rescuing nearly 100 horses in the fire zone. Oh, and armed LA libs are patrolling their neighborhoods with guns. You guys know what happened to the Missouri couple, also DemoKKKrats, who tried that during the George "Sleepy" Floyd/Black Looters Matter protests, right?


11) Not close to those fires, a fire hit Kollyfornia's largest battery plant more than 100 miles from Groomer City (SF).


12) Sweaty Little Man, Marco Rubio, looks like he was reprising "Here Comes the Boom!" with his hearing yesterday, where he laid out a very MAGA approach to the world including no Uke war and all eyes on the ChiComs.


13) Trump's nominees are not putting up with any crap from DemoKKKrat senators, with Pam Biondi and John Ratcliffe blasting back. Biondi torched Adam Schiffty, the Human Lemur. And as Robert Barnes and others have noted, the Hegseth hearings show that DemoKKKrats are still in disarray and don't hav era plan.



15) John Judis, in the "Liberal Patriot," asks where all the young men have gone from the DemoKKKrat party, and gets some of it right: discrimination and anti-male culture plus lack of jobs.


IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS



IN CULTURAL NEWS


17) Ryan Burge shows that while Americans are in general distrustful of religion, it is true for even those who are attending church, and Catholics have the least trust in religion.


IN ECONOMIC NEWS


18) David Blackmon has eight fast things President Trump can do to restore the energy sector pronto.


19) The Supes upheld a ban on Tik Tok. if it did not divest itself of ChiCom ownership.



21) Consumer Prices soared over 21% under Rutabaga. And that didn't last long, as mortgage rates have gone back over 7%. Meanwhile, home prices rose 33%.



IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS


23) Trump is not even in office yet and already he has (for now) peace in the Middle East. His envoy swayed Netanyahu more than the entire Rutabaga regime, although just breaking: Hamas is now demanding more concessions.



25) Labour MPs are starting to back a gang-rape inquiry against the wishes of PM Kier Starmer.


IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS


26) Every week on "Landman" it's another lesson by Tommy to Rebecca Falcone, the pretty but clueless lawyer who (supposedly) represents the oil company but is a green diddlepickle. Look at this exchange. Meanwhile, ever stupid, Kollyfornia is considering a "Superfund" bill to "hold fossil fuel firms accountable." I guess accountable for providing the only reliable energy they have. Idiots.



28) "Mr. Baseball," Bob Uecker, dead at 90. ("Juuuuuuust a bit outside.")


29) A far left Pulitzer-winning cartoonist was arrested for charges of kiddie porn.


AND FINALLY . . .
