The News of Today is the History of Tomorrow

IN POLITICAL NEWS

*This was not included in my video, but I forgot to mention that Stephen Miller outsmarted the federal judges and shipped off over 240 criminal Venezuelans before a judge could stop it. They were over international waters and have been deposited in El Salvador where President Bukele has welcomed them into his prison. The judge had a fit ordering the planes to be turned around sorta like the Duke Brothers in "Trading Places" demanding the exchange to "Turn the machines back on!"

1) I don't know how the DemoKKKrats could have a worse day. Now they wake up to find that President Trump decided the pardons done with the autopen are null and void.

2) The DemoKKKrat Party is utterly in the toilet. A recent poll shows only 7% have a "very favorable" view, and only 29% have a "favorable" view at all of the party. These are the lowest numbers in history---well, at least since Reconstruction---of the DemoKKKrats. Nate Moore at "Liberal Patriot" warns the Dems are on a path to "destruction," especially after the next reapportionment (so far) likely adds another 10 GOP EVs and House members. However, keep in mind that my friend Seth Keshel ("Captain K's Corner" on substack) argues that the Census Bureau cheated the GOP out of up to 15 seats in 2020, and some of those could be recovered on top of the new additions. DemoKKKrats are swirling the drain. Meanwhile President Trump has gained in this poll by 6, not at +10, approve over disapprove.

3) Ed Dowd has this interesting take on how the USAID money may have been used by the NGOs to play the stock market.

4) Trump got a surprising and big win on the DEI fires from the Fourth Circuit.

5) Asked about Rutabaga's acts signed by an autopen, President Trump said "That would be up to a court," but he would think it should be illegal and that acts null and void. Man, if we get to lititating this . . . .

6) Kari Lake has placed 1300 Voice of America Staff on leave. Good.

7) Lee Zeldin at the EPA has canceled $20 billion in grants, causing the left to squeal. It marks the "Largest deregulatory announcement" in history.

8) President Trump has hired a former SAS operator as a personal bodyguard.

IN CULTURAL NEWS

9) This is both Cultural and Transoid news, as Ryan Burge examines the religiousity of the transoid community and finds they are not. Religious, that is, falling some 23 points behind their peers. Guess it's hard to go to church when you are openly defying God's biological realities.

10) Remember when they wanted to do away with "white man's math" and philosophical logic? Yeah. Now they realize you can't eve operate on transoids or do "energy transition" without logic and reasoning skills.

IN TRANSOID NEWS

11) School administrators marched girls into a locker room and made them undress in front of transoid niddlepickers. This should put that school out of business.

IN ECONOMIC NEWS

12) Here are the price drops and increases in housing in many big cities. A mixed bag.

13) Kollyfornia is considering taking over oil refineries.

14) Greenpeace activists are facing a massive suit for terrorist-type tactics against a South Dakota pipeline. Meanwhile Bill Gates' energy transition outfit has fired dozens as it scales back without, you know, USAID money. 15) Energy and Environment News, a previously total "green transition" site, admits that "reality" is pushing out the poor old green trans movement.

16) As predicted here, "Drill, Baby, Drill" provided shocking inflation relief (it fell by half) in the first month of Trump.

17) Utah is set to become the first state to ban water flouridation.

IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS

18) The Russkies have won the battle of Kursk (again). Here is a look at why Russia's military has been so resilient.

19) Congress is working on three bills to reduce the ability of the ChiComs to repress Chinese nationals here in America. The DOGE solution is kicking the ChiComs out of higher eduction entirely.

20) The Amazon rainforest is sacred . . . until it's time for the elites to build a giant road through it so they can have a meeting there.

21) ARAMCO's CEO said moving to alternative energy without a solid foundation of oil would be "self destructive." Yep.

22) The Huns, who are threatening to rearm despite their dead economy, have put "climate neutrality" by 2045 into their CONSTITUTION! We shoulda either kept them as a colony or given them to the Soviets.

23) While not complete justice for Mark Steyn, who was sued by climate chattermonkey Michael Mann and handed a $1 million judgment against Steyn, the same judge was made aware of numerous falsifications by Mann and a) reduced Steyn's judgment to $5,000 and b) saddled Mann with paying the $530,000 legal expenses of National Review that published the column. I'm sure NR with compensate Steyn in some way.

24) BTW, speaking of National Review, back in the mid-1980s as a graduate student I was given the honor of introducting William F. Buckley, Jr. at a speech he was giving in Santa Barbara.
