The News of Today is the History of Tomorrow
NOTE: Today is my last day with Stanley. He goes to the vet for his appointment with the Rainbow Bridge tomorrow. He's in pain much of the time with bad arthritis, cannot walk but a couple of steps without falling over, is partially blind and has doggie dementia. He has been a pain in the neck on the one hand and my best friend on the other. We used to walk miles together. One time he climbed up into our olive tree and tore it to shreds, convinced something was in there. When we moved from Ohio, where we had a patio deck with a giant green yard, he used to shoot out the door and leap into the yard. We forgot he didn't know we had a pool at the new Arizona house and was he surprised! Lova ya, Stan. You'll always be my doggie.
IN POLITICAL NEWS
1) I love this. The White House canceled security clearances for a whole gaggle of douchenipples, including Cankles, Liz Cheney, Alvin Bragg, Cackles, Veeta Vita Vindman, and the whole Rutabaga family. Trump also rescinded an executive order against the law firm of Paul Weiss after the lawyers offered $40 million in free legal services for everyone, including conservatives. I'd make it contingent upon court wins, jail releases, or reductions of sentence.
2) For now an appeals court has reinstated 25,000 federal probationary employees. As I said in my substack last week, stall, stall, stall. The longer they are unemployed, the less likely they will ever get their jobs back. If the positions must be filled, MAGA people are available. Then see if the judge still wans those jobs filled.
3) DOJ has a criminal investigation into the leaker of the Venezuelan gang info to the New York Slimes.
4) President Trump cut funding to seven Australian universities, leading to the obvious question, why are we funding any foreign university?
5) There is strong support for Elon Musk and DOGE cuts to the federal gubment.
6) No, President Trump is not sharing ChiCom war plans with Musk.
7) Rutabaga's DOE secretary, Jennifer Granholm, hid a study that showed LNG was good for the planet.
8) About that big AOC Dinobernie rally? First it was provable by cell phone data that it was 1/3 smaller than claimed, but more important, 84% of those who attended had already gone to other Dinobernie/pro-Hamas/Black Looters Matter rallies. Astroturfed all the way.
9) A Soros-backed couple of chadpumper dicknipples are funding the attack on Teslas. And they should be in jail. In Sudan.
10) Who has been saying this? It is now estimated that the data demand for power (AI) will triple in the next three years, accounting for 12% of all US, energy. This is Civil War #3 for the DemoKKKrats, as they will have a fight between the techhies and the greens. Solar and wind ain't gonna do it. Try nukes.
11) Kash Patel plans to cut up to 1,000 ATF agents. No tears here.
12) Shipwreckedcrew argues that Trump has chosen more extreme "negotiating" positions with the judges, in which he will likely win, but it will be a longer process than if he had run with less ambitious objectives.
IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS
13) Trump is working to revoke legal status and work permits for hundreds of thousands of migrants that Rutabaga illegally flew in.
14) Porky Pritzker's Illinois budget is fighting out the DemoKKKrat Civil War #2 namely having to cut bennies for illegals.
15) DHS has revoked the legal status of 538,000 people.
IN CULTURAL NEWS
16) Columbia University, which is swimming in endowment money, will nevertheless institute a raft of measures designed to eliminate DEI and keep the federal spigot turned on. Dartmouth too. This led Politico to say universities were "caving to Trump with "stunning speed and scope." What Politico won't admit is that the glutenous institutions all have massive endowments, but are still terrified of losing federal money. A Columbia friend says half its revenue is the feds.
IN ECONOMIC NEWS
17) The U.S. has licensed a new deepwater liquified natural gas port complex.
18) Trade-ins of Teslas have reached new highs as people are afraid of being harassed, attacked, or have their vehicles terrorized. As David Blackmon notes, the company is indeed under siege, but still stands atop the EV heap, especially if ChiCom EVs are kept out.
19) Trump's tariffs cause another U.S. automaker to return to the U.S..
IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS
20 The United Arab Emirates has committed to investing $1.6 trillion in the U.S. in the next 10 years. By my count, Trump has gotten foreign and domestic pledges of nearly $10 trillion in investment so far.
21) A peer-reviewed AI report on "climate change" shows little role played by humans and a lot played by the sun, and find claims by the Michael Manns of the world overhyped.
22) Venezuela has reached a deal with the U.S. to resume deportation flights.
23) Iceland's Minister of Children quit after admitting to having a baby with a 16-year old.
24) Big companies are purging references to net-zero and re-writing their websites as this insanity finally ends.
25) It must just be something in the Huns' character, as the German intel chief says the Uke War should go on another five years.
IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS
26) Boxer George Foreman died at age 76. Nice guy.
27) Kudos to Lizzo, who has lost over 60 pounds (she says) without Ozempic. She actually is an attractive woman but still has another 60 to go---then there is the loose skin problem. But still, good job.
IN CHINA VIRUS NEWS
28) A North Carolina Supreme Court decision opens the door for parents to sue schools and health officials for the China Virus vax side effects and intrusions into civil liberty.
AND FINALLY . . .
29) Since we opened with Stanley, my doggie, I guess it's appropriate to finish with this story: "Dogs who Shot their Owners." Stan never did that to me. He knows where the safety is. By the way, if you want a good, hearwarming dog movie (and book), "The Art of Racing in the Rain" will do it.
