The News of Today is the History of Tomorrow





IN POLITICAL NEWS


1) The spooge-o-matic masquerading as a judge in New York, Juan Merchan, will do his little sentencing dance on January 10, suggesting he may go with a sentence of "unconditional discharge," in which theoretically the sentence could be brought back in four years---but also which opens the entire case up for appeal. Here is a longer assessment of this weak move.


2) Cackles had to certify President Trump as the winner of the election, but Rutabaga is going to keep U.S. flags at half staff for the deceased Jesus Carter during the Trump inauguration. Anything this slimy toad-rodent can do to possibly slight President Trump. Case in point: he gave the Medal of Freedom to two of the biggest chodesmokers in the world, Cankles and George Soros.


3) President Trump and Speaker Johnson say they will have one big reconciliation bill that will encompass the entire Trump agenda by Memorial Day.


4) Trump has added a J6 Patriot Day lawyer defender to Susie Wiles' staff. Meanwhile, she gave an interview to Axios showing she won't tolerate anyone getting in the way of the Trump agenda.


5) Now Apple's Tim Cook will make a $1 million donation to the Trump inaugural committee. Overall, Trump has reeled in over $200 million for the inauguration, more than in 2017.


6) Two years after making it easier to remove the Speaker---with not great results---Republicans have gone back to making it harder.



8) Pete Hegseth has the votes to get confirmed. Their whole wall of defenses is collapsing.


9) Ex-NYPD head's former driver, who made $163,000 a year, is the latest questioned in a sex-for-favors probe.


10) Rutabaga has banned tankless water heaters. Trump will un-ban them. Rutabaga is also trying to use an old law to ban all offshore drilling---I mentioned this Friday---but "Unseen" on Twit had a great idea: Trump should use the same law to ban all wind farms in those areas.


11) The end of the Obama era has arrived." Yep. It arrived in 2017;


12) Ruy Teixeira, one of the few sane voices on the left, warns that DemoKKKrats are becoming the party of old, rich, white people., while libtoid Matt Yglesias is terrified because all the guardrails (i.e., institutional cheat, fraud, and unconstitutionality) that surrounded Trump in 2017 are gone now. And the New York Slimes weighs in as to how the great and wonderful DemoKKKrats lost the working class. And, of course, miss it.


13) Legendary athlete Lionel Messi snubbed Rutabaga's Medal of Freedom ceremony..



IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS




17) A starting cross-country runner on a girls team lost her spot to a transoid and was told by the school they have "more rights" than normal girls.


IN TRANSOID NEWS



IN ECONOMIC NEWS


19) America's newest chip manufacturing plant, in Arizona, is nearly complete.


20) The Wall Street Journal continues the green insanity saying that the AI/Crypto revolution will push MORE green energy. No, little WSJ, no it won't. It will push nukes, natural gas, and more fossil fuels and yes, we have MUCH more in terms of fossil fuels to go.



22) Moronic Rutabaga, trying booby trap Trump's economy, has banned drilling in over 600 million acres of the Atlantic and Pacific from drilling. Serious charges should await this traitorous dogspooge.



24) This lib laments the failure of Rutabaga's industrial policy. Good. Too bad any of it is still in place.


IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS


25) Outrage in the UK as the Labour government refuses to investigate Muslim gang-rapes. In this related story, "Afghan Girls, British Girls, and the non-Recognition of Reality." Liberals are essentially in a universe that simply doesn't exist--one entirely of intent.



27) My favorite lib, Noah Smith, examines various arguments that China is "ahead" of the U.S. economically. His conclusion? Depends on how you measure GDP, and that the valuation of the dollar has a lot to do with it. My take? China is in trouble.


28) Getting closer to being the 51st state as the Prime Minister of Greenland calls for severing ties with Denmark. Denmark threatened to send its whole army, both guys, there to stifle any rebellion.




IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS


31) The Tennessee Titans of the NFL got the #1 pick in the draft when unexpectedly the New England Patriots won against the Buffalo Bills, costing the Patriot's coach his job! Cleveland will pick number 2.


32) At the Golden Globes, host Nikki Glaser was fair and funny, roasting Hollywood: "I look out and see some of the hardest working actors in show business. I mean your servers." "That movie was more sexually charged than Diddy's credit card."


33) It's about time. If the Obamas can do it so can Melania, as she signs a Netflix movie deal.


34) Rapper 2 Low almost joined the great One-Pac Shakur (after his gunshot accident) to become No Low after accidentally discharging his gun in his pocket during a podcast. 


IN CHINA VIRUS NEWS





AND FINALLY . . .


38) Laguna Beach has more drunk drivers than any other city in America. I'm sure the mortgage payments have something to do with it.


On a personal note, tough Christmas. First we lost my old guitarist George Mills on December 26, then just a few days ago I got word that my Florida MAGA pal Alex Zorba died suddenly after a workout. Will miss you over steaks, Alex. (Shown here to my right with Mike Evans on the left).
