Ep 204TODAY'S NEWS, February 14-16, 2026

IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) Here is a sober and sane assessment by Shipwreckedcrew of what Pam Bondi is doing and what her remarkable accomplishments are, despite all the Epsteinoid panicans. She will be remembered as a great and extremely effective AG. She just released the FULL Eppy file with no names redacted, over 3.5 million pages. I imagine there will be some late night reading for the pedos this week. 2) This is headed for the VA Supreme Court, but a VA judge put that state's obscene redistricting plan on hold.3) Trump's administration just required absolute receipt verification for every dollar spent. This is a good X post on exactly what that means. Oh, and ol Elon's push for Medicaid data release? Elon wins. ("Finish him!") 4) President Trump will sign an executive order requiring Voter ID. 5) This is the way. Housing and Urban Development has launched an investigation into the Muslim city that is inherently destructive and divisive and in violation of civil rights. 6) The FAA is pushing mandates to require merit-based hiring and pay only for pilots. 7) From 2018 to 2024, the FBI opened 1,200 illegal probes into American politicians, journalists, religious leaders, and academics. 8) Fat Fani Willis is now potentially on the hook for $17 million in Trump attorney's fees and is wriggling. 9) A former team USA figure skater was shot and killed in front of a Starburqa by a convicted ex-felon. 10) Of course they are: CO has introduced a bill to legalize prostitution. IN THE EPSTEIN FILES 11) Another resignation results from Eppy: the top lawyer at Goldman, Kathy Rummier. Then Dubai's DP World CEO, Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem was caught in the Eppy Pig Sty and resigned. 12) Yale prof David Gelernter was suspended after his name came up in the Eppy files. He was known for losing vision in one eye and feeling in his hand when he opened a package (unknowningly) from the Unabomber. 13) Aaaannnnd . . . the owner of a popular school photography company was mentioned in Eppy's tomes. IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS 14) ICE has a long term plan to turn warehouses into detention centers. Doesn't sound like Trump is pulling back in any way, shape, or form. So far, ICE has acquired seven of these babies. It's a $38 billion expenditure, so this ain't temporary. IN TRANSOID NEWS 15) The sponsor of so-called "GayDays" (i.e., homosexual celebrations) at Disney pulled out, leaving the festivities in limbo. 16) Two more big "detransitioner" cases are headed to trial. 17) Goooooood. SpewMore is introducing legislation to make the homosexual rainbow flag a congressionally designated flag. This will have a big backlash. IN ECONOMIC NEWS 18) Here is the story of Fed Ex's demise: it was sold to cost-cutting Indians. IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS 19) Rubio had an amazing speech at Munich. 20) Irena Slav on the collapse of the carbon credit market. 21) US embassies are raising cash from foreign countries for the 250th birthday party. IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS 22) AI wars are heating up as Disney sent a cease and desist order to Bytedance for a "pirated library of Disney's copywrited characters from Star Wars, Marvel," and other Disney properties. As Zero Hedge put it, this amounts to a "billion dollar movie in just one prompt." I know the Eppy files are, ahem, sexier (pardon the pun) but this is where the real 21st century battle is unfolding, of humanity's right to itself. 23) What's in your wallet? Snoop Dogg's credit card was declined while trying to purchase a cheeseburger and chicken wings at the Winter Olympics. 24) Ex-NFL star Tre Johnson, dead at 54. IN MEDICAL NEWS 25) High caffeine intake is associated with significantly lower risk of dementia. So I should be safe. 26) A scientist gave himself brain damage by using a secret audio weapon trying to disprove Havana Syndrome. AND FINALLY . . . 27) A policy of placing defibrillators in a TX city's neighborhoods has cut deaths by heart attacks from 10% to 47%.

Ep 203TODAY'S NEWS, February 12-13, 2026

IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) I had this on Wednesday, but it's sooo juicy I had to repeat it: Trump has revoked and rescinded the "greenhouse gas" finding by the EPA, opening the door for more growth and better affordability. But it also opens the doors to the few mental institutions left standing as the DemoKKKrat Terrorists are acting like Lulu Lemon just ran out of see-through crotches. The New York Slimes absolutely moans "Trump Allies Near 'Total Victory' in Wiping out U.S. Climate Regulation." TOTAL VICTORY. When was the last time any administration claimed that? As best I can tell, it was aboard the U.S.S. Missouri in 1945 when the Japanese acknowledged a first class ass-kicking. Anyone remember that EPA chief Lee Zeldin said he would drive a dagger into the heart of the climate change religion? Cult, meet dagger. 2) Speaking of cults, though this more properly belongs in international news, but a transoid shooter in Canada was just the latest to prove that these people are mentally in the same category as frybread. The Hoax News media cannot even begin to report this stuff honestly. ALL transoids need to be screened for mental loopiness.. This BOY, over 6 foot tall, was upset that even after his tranny transition he wouldn't be "petitie." 3) And another cult took a blow, that of the "2020 Election was Legit" (better known as "81 Million Votes my Ass") as President Trump ordered the CIA to turn over all 2020 election intel to a lawyer who had been involved in "Stop the Steal." I hope President Trump realizes that unless he and John Radcliffe personally pay a visit to the globalist coupsters inside that scum agency, they won't hand over anything except A F "I Voted" sticker. 4) Per Seth Keshel, the last of the McTurdite candidates, Karrin Taylor Robson, dropped out of the AZ governor's race yesterday, leaving Andy Biggs, my (good) Congressman to take the seat from the evil Hobbit. 5) A ChiCom businessman currently in jail is behind the biolabs that the FBI hasbusted. 6) President Trump announced numerous new court nominations. Oh, and if Trump is displeased with Pam Bondi, you sure couldn't tell it by his latest statement. 7) President Trump pardoned five former NFL players including the great Dallas Cowboys guard Nate Newton. IN EPSTEIN NEWS 8) Goldman Sachs top lawyer resigned due to, ahem, "mentions" in the Annals of Eppy. "Best massage ever, but not your kind of massage, she tweeted. Now she calls Eppy a "monster," but then gushed at a "day of joy" and called him "Uncle Jeffrey." 9) A French former culture minister resigned from his post at a cultural center after the Eppy files named him. IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS 10) The Small Business Administration has banned non-citizens from getting SBA loans. 11) DHS stripped deportation protections from Yemanis, sending them home. Meanwhile, two Pakistani nationals were arrested in a $10 million Medicare Fraud scheme. 12) Not only did Tom Homan say special agents are staying on the fraud investigations in Skinny Minny, but also said they had located 3,500 kids lost by the Rutabaga administration. IN CULTURAL NEWS 13) And here we go. Now Muslim activists in New Kabul (NYC) are trying to get dogs banned as pets because they are "non-Islamic." Why don't you let this rectalgiblet know where you stand and adopt a rescue today? IN TRANSOID NEWS 14) This beauty queen says she was stripped of her title because she refused to endorse transoidism. IN ECONOMIC NEWS 15) Not sure I'd be celebrating this as Spotify seems to be but it says its developers haven't written a line of code since December due to AI. I'm betting said developers are shipping out resumes right now. As this techhie writes, the role of the software engineer is shifting from writing code to managing AI robots. Elon Musk says that soon working will be optional. Well, gee, it already is for 50% of the DemoKKKrat Terror Party. But he also predicts prices for goods will drop dramatically and people won't even have to save for retirement any more---not that many do today. See Jeff Childers' discussion of this in his "Coffee & Covid" column today. This study, meanwhile, says AI is failing at over 95% of jobs. Sorta like an illegal. David Blackmon, the Rush Limbaugh of Energy, says really the whole AI race only comes down to one question, "Us or Chy=na?" 16) As Martin Lawrence's character would say in "Bad Boys," "this s . . .t is about to get real." Yes it is. Microsoft's CEO says that most white collar jobs---get it, not just tech?---will be fully automated in the next 12-18 months. Challenger showed that fully 7% of the job losses in January were due to AI. Folks, forget H1Bs: this is the threat. Mercor just hired thousands of lawyers, doctors, writers, and thousands of "white-collar contractors" to . . . wait for it . . . train its AI to take their jobs. Oh, and my little techless friends, it gets better. Anthropic warns that its Claude could be used for "heinous crimes" including developing chemical weap

Ep 202TODAY'S NEWS, February 10-11, 2026

IN POLITICAL NEWS Caveat: You're not going to see discussions of Savannah Guthrie's missing mother because, well, I don't care. There are thousands of missing children out there, many thanks to the DemoKKKrats, and they deserve the attention. 1) A Virginia grand jury refused to indict Sen. Moonman Kelly and others for a seditious video in which they urged service members to disobey orders. One more reminder that there are blue sections of this country that do not care one whit about law, order, or the Constitution. D.C. locals are 92% Terror DemoKKKrat Party supporters. As Jeff Childers, a lawyer, notes, the good news is that the government cannot (still, at least in some places) be judge, jury, and executioner. The bad news for the Moonman cheerleaders is that once again the optics are terrible with a two-tiered justice system. Now, please tell me how Pam Bondi is to blame for this one. 2) My friend Joseph Ford Cotto comes to many of the same conclusions I've come to about where the DemoKKKrats are, namely, screwed. They pretty much have to win 2026 to even hope to stay alive. Good to see more people taking up this banner. 3) Contrary to the predictions of Masshole and Randy Paul, the U.S. deficit continues to shrink under Trump's economic policies, down a whopping $143 billion from this time last year. 4) The administration cleaned out 50 suspected fugitive felons living in one single taxpayer-subsidized house in Franklin Co., OH. Also, DOJ just filed charges against adult day care owners in a $120 million fraud scheme in New York. Some would say "they're going after the small fish," but I would argue that these are the very "fish" that are harming more Americans on a daily basis than the entire Epstein list combined---and yes, I want anyone guilty of a crime arrested and convicted in that list. 5) Republicans won another special election, making the scorecard in the last few months Rs+4, Ds+3. 6) President Trump is going to rescind the government "finding" that "greenhouse gasses" pose a danger to earth. 7) Something is going on in El Paso, where according to the Department of War, cartel drones shut down the airport there. Dunno about you, but seems to me that is an act of war. 8) Broke-ass Kollyfornia, which cannot even begin to finish the rocket train to nowhere or fix a road, passed a bill to give Molochian Planned Murderhood $30 million. Maybe that's why this demonic state has lost one-third of a billion dollars in tax revenues in just three months on the threat of raising more taxes. 9) President Trump eliminated a Zero-era climate finding for autos, which is likely to knock the price of a new car down by as much as $2,500. 10) This absolutely must be challenged in court: an IL city handed out $25,000 in "reparations" to 44 black families. 11) A sad story out of MN as the daughter of a GOP governor candidate was killed in a botched murder-suicide. I never understand why these fungusdimples don't BEGIN with themselves and leave the other people alone. 12) A corrupt federal judge rejected the DoJ's "request" for MI voter data. We can do this the easy way, or the hard way. You're apparently choosing the hard way. 13) Two former FL teachers' union officials have been sentenced to prison for fraud with union funds. IN EPSTEIN NEWS 14) I'm including a new section, at least for a while, because there are so many Jeffrey Epstein-related stories out there. First, his inner circle, including Les Wexner, have been subpoenaed to testify before Congress. 15) One of the biggest stories, er, non-stories, is Trump. He either isn't in the Epstein files or he is shown actively opposing Eppie and trying to get him arrested. 16) Numerous e-mails show prominent people, including the president of Bard College, thanking ol Epper for gifts, including Caribbean cruises. He also "scouted" women (though apparently of age) for NY Midgets owner Steve Tisch. 17) Ghislaine Maxwell hinted that if given clemency by Trump she would spill the beans. There is a way to do this---and if she doesn't do what she promised, she would go right back to prison.18) The lefty Eurasia Review tried to tie it all back to the failures of "market capitalism," but more realistically it is the failure of "nice" government structures that have been unwilling to take on anyone bigger than Martha Stewart. IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS 19) Out of the blue, now, having demanded body cams for LEOs for decades, SpewMore and "Movin' on Up" Jeffries suddenly don't like them because they usually clearly show moronic protesters acting in ways that get them killed. IN CULTURAL NEWS 20) As it did with every single action, the corrupt Rutabaga administration hid the data on student loan delinquencies so it could make more loans. 21) The UNC system is now 60:40 female. 22) President Trump announced the White House Ball Room is on budget and ahead of schedule, driving the beltway boozeshufflers crazy.

IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) An excellent pro-ICE ad ran during the Game-Which-Shall-Not-Be-Named. Meanwhile, the Turning Point USA halftime show racked up 25 million viewers. Oh, yeah, I think a team from Seattle won, but I didn't watch. Still in the last season of "Suits." 2) Elon Musk offered to cover the legal costs of any Epstein victims who came forward to "speak truth." DemoKKKrats reportedly seen at local Kroger Depenz aisles. Then there are the five stages of political spoogieness, as the New York Slimes insisted for years there was no blackmail going on over at Epstein Island Island when, gee, now it says, "Hold muh beer." 3) Trump says to DemoKKKrat Terror Party governors, "You want resist? I got resist for ya right here" as he did NOT invite them to the National Governor's Association dinner nor the subsequent White House working group. Why should he? So they can return to their pig sty swillwhistle funding troughs and begin counter preparations? 4) DemoKKKrats won another special election, this time in LA, in a district Trump carried by 13. That puts the last 8 specials at 50/50. 5) GA is turning into a rotten peach, as newly disclosed docs show that Gov. Brian Kemp told the FBI Bureau Chief not to investigate the 2020 fraud. These people do not understand that if this trickle of sleaze becomes a waterfall, Americans will shuck aside their history and character and demand these bowel-wrappers go to jail. 6) TX has sued a giant fiberglass manufacturer Global Fiberglass Solutions for dumping over 3,000 wind turbine blades at Sweetwater, TX. 7) Cackles had a rebrand attempt that failed so badly even CNN called it "cringe." 8) Florida's teacher's union was trying to hide its class syllabi and lessons. They just lost in court. 9) The House Intel chairman warns that there may be a pattern with the ChiCom biolabs that the FBI has been busting, and that they could be setting the stage for a new pandemic. 10) Pete "The Punisher" Hegseth announced that the Department of War will cut all ties to Harvard. Ouch. Put some ICE on that. 11) The Fourth Circuit Court just cleared the way for Trump to exterminate DEI. 12) How Tik Tok's algorithms radicalized soft-brained liberal women. 13) The Small Business Administration just suspended over 111,000 CA borrowers suspected of fraud and will pursue criminal charges against them. Once they got the money, however, the government will be lucky to get back pennies on the dollar. 14) A large number of military transport planes are heading for the Middle East. A few days ago, a Pizza Tsunami was reported at the Pentagon. Something brewing? 15) A federal judge ordered all Fulton Co., GA, voter docs unsealed by tomorrow. Dems suicidal. IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS 16) About time. The Administration will not comply with a court order to provide due process to illegal Venezuelans shipped back to El Salvador. Pound sand, judicial jigglepickets. IN CULTURAL NEWS 17) This is moving a little faster than even I expected. Now there is a site where AI hires humans to do physical-world tasks. What does AI do when there's a strike? Call in robodogs? 18) Anyone remember Dr. House? His famous line was "Everybody lies." Apparently, Ryan Burge thinks so too. He examines who actually voted vs. who said they voted. Big difference, and it tracks along with those who said they went to church last week. Of those answering a survey, 97% said they voted in the last election, but only 59% actually did so according to the Cooperative Election Study. 19) This is an interesting development. How do you get rid of "women's studies" and "sociology" departments? You tie student loan access to earnings after you graduate. Oh, and speaking of eddication, TX has set a record for the most students applying for the state's new school choice programs. Teacher's Unions are probably double-ordering razor blades. IN TRANSOID NEWS 20) The Human Rights Campaign, otherwise known as the "Queer Lobby," saw a 65% drop in corporate DEI support. Good start, but should be 100%. IN ECONOMIC NEWS 21) Washington Compost CEO and publisher Will Lewis has resigned. Boo hoo. The Compost died in its own darkness. 22) VT's EV bus fleet doesn't work in the cold, which, gee, is about 60% of VT's year. Meanwhile, Jeep EV maker Stellantis lost a $26 billion bet on higher EV demand. 23) On Friday, Feb. 6, after I had already posted Today's News, the DOW hit 50,000 for the first time ever. 24) Irena Slav is not a tech expert, nor does she pretend to be. But she does a great job of tracking the stratospheric investments here by Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, and others (closing on $1 trillion) when so far AI has yet to make a profit on anything or to prove that it's substantially better than what we have. There is a law out there (Peter Thiel's Law) that says that a new tech must be ten times better than the old to effect a replacement. AI is nowhere close to that, yet its denizens are now claiming it will replace "software." Meanwhile, the ener

Ep 200TODAY'S NEWS, February 6, 2026

IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) While people were obsessing over Trump "drawing down" in MN---which will not last, and which I think is a distraction, which will again be picked up as soon as attention shifts---he has torched the whole Board of Immigration process that ends all appeals after March 9 unless a majority of the Board agrees to hear the case. BRAVO. 2) Reason #434 why the DemoKKKrats are screwed, and why 2026 or, at the latest, 2028 is their last stand, as blue states are facing an out-migration nightmare. Overall, DemoKKKrats lost almost another 500,000 in population last year (with CA losing 229,000). Of the states that have red trifectas, only three lost population and two of those, only 1,000. The other 19 gained 345,000. Of the DemoKKKrat states, only ME, DE, WA, and OR gained at all. Even the latest blue state, CO, lost population for the first time in years. Now throw in the fact that the DemoKKKrat states have the lowest fertility rates in the U.S. Gee, I wonder why, with all that free abortion? Then there are consistent, steady, ongoing voter reform efforts as in GA where they are returning to paper ballots. Meanwhile, in Kollyfornia, the top two in polling for the state's governorship are both Rs. Why is that important? Because Kollyfornia stupidly has a "jungle primary" that puts in the top two, regardless of party. I don't think this will hold up, but if it does, watch for Kollyfornia to change that jungle primary law in a hurry. Then there is this indicator: the GOP has outraised the DemoKKKrats by $100 million, or a factor of 6:1. Note, this does not include Trump's $100 fund. 3) The GOP's Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) will retire, bringing the number of GOP to 32 (I think) and Ds to 26. I still believe that by July they will be about even in retirements. 4) Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced IRS audits of major banks, financial firms, and intermediaries that facilitated the Skinny Minny fraud. 5) New Azteca (LA) mayor Karen ASS secretly altered a Palisade Fire report that made her and the city look bad. I mean, how else could it make them look? Or we have this story about a "Maryland man" (not the illegal invader Garcia) who was arrested for the attempted murder of Office of Management and Budget director Russ Vought. Maybe we need to rename liberalism as "The Religion of Peace" (TROP trademark)? Apparently as another DemoKKKrat, a "Satanist" named "Pagan," was arrested for plans to shoot up a church. All I can say is they better not try that at my church. I'm told the response time is under 9 seconds. 6) Speaking of Kollyfornia, the next President, J. D. Vance, will head a fraud task force looking into the Tarnished State. 7) The administration approved a new rule making it easier to fire federal employees. IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS 8) This is going to get funny in a hurry, as now MN is policing neighborhood borders to keep out ICE. Get it? They are establishing their own border patrol to keep out people who are enforcing border control. Can't wait til some drunk dopespoker runs one of their lines. What are they gonna do, blow a whistle? 9) Four Venezuelans have been arrested for a $1 million food stamp fraud in MA. 10) Rents fall again as deportations rise. IN CULTURAL NEWS 11) President Trump has announced a National Jubilee of Prayer in May as part of the America 250 celebration. NO OTHER PRESIDENT IN RECENT MEMORY WOULD HAVE DONE THIS. This is nothing less than, as Trump put it, an effort to "rededicate America as one nation under God." TRANSOID NEWS 12) Jennifer Sey rips apart stupid arguments against the two major medical associations---DOCTORS, GET IT?---that decided to oppose transoid surgeries for minors. One inebriated armadillo-brain actually compared getting your breasts whacked off to a . . . nose job. This is another reason DemoKKKrats cannot be trusted with anything.

IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) This is why the "special elections" game is so tricky. DemoKKKrats just finished celebrating a TX state senate seat flip when this AL result comes out. The R won by an even bigger margin than did Trump in 2024. Again, overall, somewhat meaningless. Meanwhile, our friends over at "The Liberal Patriot" are starting to put up storm warnings about the Electoral College, as well they should. 2) Having demanded that Trump release the Epstein files, now DemoKKKrats are panicking that he has, beginning with the Clintons, who, after failed maneuvering and posturing, finally relegated themselves to being interrogated by the House. Looks like the DemoKKKrats have tossed the Corrupt Crime Family under the bus. Remember, this comes one week after unnamed "DemoKKKrats" warned House members to stay the heck away from MN because, well, the story was hurting them. Nor does it help that another DemoKKKrat was charged with fraudulent use of funds in GA. No, the "big names" aren't here, but for Pete's sake, is anyone watching the sheer number of underlings being rolled up? 3) I did not expect the Supes to overturn the Kollyfornia redistricted map, any more than they will overturn any other. This does not change my equation one iota, as I always calculated 5 new DemoKKKrat seats in Kollyfornia. Rs still should hold the house by 2-5. 4) The FBI shut down another biolab operation, this one in Las Vegas. 5) Ah, the left is so cheery and full of life. The Senior Skank, Jill Biden, learned that her ex-husband has been charged with murdering her successor. 6) The Inspector General said that a whistleblower complaint against Tulsi Gabbard lacked credibility. She says she was on the ground in Fulton Co. because Trump requested it. 7) Moronic Massachusetts is set to establish driving mileage limits. Are you toadstools awake yet? Meanwhile miles driven hit an all time high. 8) Ryan "Baby" Routh was sentenced to life in prison for attempting to assassinate President Trump. 9) Elon Musk and X awarded Nick Shirley $100,000 for his reporting on the Skinny Minny fraud. 10) Two GOP Congressmen have said that John Can't Carry a Thune will bypass the standard silent filibuster to pass the SAVE (voting integrity) Act. We'll see. Oh, and a new poll shows that 76% of black Americans want voter ID. 11) Republicans are just 42,877 away from flipping PA red among active voters. This margin was DemoKKKrat +1.1 million in 2016. IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS 12) Shipwreckedcrew says Jonathan Ross was 100% justified in shooting Renee Good. IN TRANSOID NEWS 13) The first major medical group says nay nay on child mutilation. Drip, drip, drip. Soon this will be universal, then they will begin looking at transoidism in adults, properly, as a sickness. IN ECONOMIC NEWS 14) In a regular and expected concern with AI, the latest suggests AI will cost a lot of software jobs, causing a market dip. Fortune warns that AI may also cut revenues. Someone better figger it out because right now AI is lining up to be the biggest capital expenditure in history. 15) Bahama Breeze, the sister chain of Olive Garden restaurants, basically went out of business overnight. 16) Rare earth minerals stocks soared after Trump announced "Project Vault" as a strategic minerals stockpile. 17) Commercial office delinquencies are worse than in 2008. Thing is, I'm not sure they will ever recover from the China Virus, and maybe many of those elites who own those properties should have done more to stop the insane lockdowns. 18) Private payroll growth did not hit expectations. Maybe some of them are here, as the Washington Compost tells employees to stay home and may have extensive layoffs. However, Quantum Insights says that manufacturing growth is back in style. 19) Elon Musk is merging SpaceX and xAI. Will this be Skynet after all? It would be a trillion dollar company. Today, however, Wal-Mart hit $1 trillion as the first ever trillion dollar business. 20) Harvard thought it could stall, waiting out Trump. The New York Slimes ran a story saying Trump backed down. Oops. Trump increased the demand from Harvard from $200m to $1 billion. 21) David Blackmon, the Rush Limbaugh of Energy, says that natural gas is the big winner in the AI power race. IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS 22) Looks like the Clintons aren't the only elites caught up in the Epstein muck. Norway's top dogs are identified as well. This includes PMs, royalty, members of the useless Nobel committee. Gonna be fun. Norweigians don't like it, with 76% saying the future queen should not take the throne, but perhaps work at a ski resort. And in Mediocre Britain, Lord Mandelson, ex-ambassador to the U.S., has resigned. 23) A conservative, following the latest string of conservative victories in Latin America, won the presidency in Costa Rica. 24) Trump's trade pact with India will cut into Russkie oil revenues. 26) The son of former Libyan dictator Muammar Khaddafi was shot in his home. 26) The Huns are dismantling thei

IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) This seems pretty undeniable that the FBI GA raid, signed off by a judge, on Fulton Co. election HQ is looking for "fraud." Boomshakalaka. 2) In a big headline, Kollyfornia politicians celebrate the continuation of slavery. Oh, wait, I'm sorry, it's "Kollyfornia politicians celebrate banning voter ID." 3) One of the church invasion suspects arrested along with Blind Lemon Don by the feds is the Minny prosecutor's right hand man. 4) With everyone focused on MN, Trump's DOJ released millions of pages more of Epstein docs. . . and Trump isn't in any of them. Wait, I thought Bondi wasn't doing anything with the Epstein files? 5) This is in one pocket and out the other, but President Trump has filed a $10 billion suit against the IRS for leaking his tax returns. Don, I get this. It's wrong. But as my extremely (sometimes) wise son says, "NONE OF IT MATTERS WITHOUT SOMEONE DOING TO JAIL." Evil simply isn't deterred anymore by fines or financial losses. 6) We had a DemoKKKrat win a special election in TX and the panicans are all out. But the legislature isn't in session, a tiny percentage turned out, and this will flip back immediately in the regular session. Meanwhile, for those who think DemoKKKrarts are cruising to victory in 2026, President Trump's war chest is gigantic, and separate from the GOP's, which has raised about seven times more money than the DemoKKKrats. And the likelihood of holding the Senate or even expanding the GOP majority by a seat grew with Trump's endorsement of quasi-RINO in NH John Sununu. He can likely win that seat. 7) FL had a voter roll purge. Rs lost 6,,000, Ds lost 65,000, leaving FL with a R voter advantage of 1.5 million. 8) President Trump will close the Kennedy-Trump Center for two years for renovations based on a report about the dilapidated condition of the building. I'm betting that also they will use that time to set up a monster list of shows that won't involve any Neil Young types. 9) The New Azteca (LA) 5-0 refused to enforce the Oleaginous Gruesome's maskie ban. Funny, just a few years ago they wanted everyone to be in a mask. 10) The first casualty of the USAID fraud investigations pleads guilty. IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS 11) Anyone who thought ICE was "cutting back" or that Trump had "lost" in the Walz/Frey discussions might want to read this: ICE is expanding warrantless searches. Full speed ahead. What Trump actually said was that federal forces will let the rioters in these cities riot so long as no federal property is involved. While I understand the urge to crush these SOBs, keep in mind the bigger picture right now is to evict the illegal invaders. Don't get distracted. And just like that, a judge declined MN's request to block a "surge" of feds. Wait, a surge? I thought Trump folded. 12) Border czar Tom Homan says the administration has located 145,000 missing kids out of the estimated 323,000. No one, though, will say what will happen to them. Are there 145,000 people wanting to adopt? Do you send them home? Do they know where home is? 13) Florida has instituted "English only" drivers' license tests. As it should be everywhere. 14) Everyone is looking at MN, so ICE hits WV with the support of locals and nabs 650 illegals. IN CULTURAL NEWS 15) Public schools show you exactly why they cannot be trusted. Staffing continues to increase even though the number of pupils is falling across the board. 16) This guy probably should buy a few Powerball tickets: An AL man survived being crushed in a garbage truck . . . twice! IN TRANSOID NEWS 17) Hallelujah! A jury found a surgeon and a psychiatrist guilty of malpractice for chopping the breasts off a healthy 16-year old girl. This was a $2m judgement The key that may allow a lot of these lawsuits to sidestep woke laws in blue states trying to protect doctors involved in mutiliation is that the lawyers in this case went after the doctors for malpractice. 18) Molochian Kollyfornia with its pimpsimper AG is suing hospitals that will not perform mutilations. Meanwhile, the Supes dither over this, apprently unable to find a case that allows them to determine what a woman is. IN ECONOMIC NEWS 19) Don't look now, but bitcoin is crashing. down from $100,000 to $74,000 in a week. Not acting as any agent for this, but I have invested in another crypto called Unicoin that will go public soon, and it is 100% backed by physical assets. We'll see if that makes a difference. 20) Blue-collar blues, as President Trump MUST turn these six charts around in the next three years. I believe he will. But this is the only thing preventing the total extinction of the evil DemoKKKrat Terror Party. 21) Ford is denying reports it was meeting with the ChiComs about partnering on an EV.

IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) The battle over MN continues, with leftoid sphincterblossoms filing 500 habeas claims, slowing processing. File under "They don't ever arrest anyone": Blind Lemon Don arrested, but he might not mind dropping the soap.2) I just don't understand. I thought this was a winning issue for DemoKKKrats, except the evil Axios said that DemoKKKrat leaders are telling House members not to go to MN. Gee, why? Photo ops are going to have the wrong outcome? 3) Meanwhile just nine leftoid counties account for two-thirds of all violent confrontations with ICE. Wanna guess which ones? 4) Yes, this is real, and yes, it is serious enough for DHS Secretary Kristi Noem to be present: the FBI raided the Fulton Co. Election offices and took over 700 boxes of evidence. Seth Keshel discusses here, but for those who say, "Oh, they've destroyed those records already,' hang on a second: Col. Oliver North was taken down in the Iran-Contra scandal by one memo that he forgot to purge. County leadership there was "frantic," and "defensive." DNI director Tulsi Gabbard was there in person. This suggests a major, major operation. 5) Maybe this should be under "Entertainment News," but a newly-released Epstein doc says Bill Gates caught an STD from "Russian girls" (wait, there were "Russian girls" at Epstein Island? For what purpose?) then secretly slipped Melinda antibiotics. 6) Trump announced the new Trump accounts (investment accounts) for kids with singer Nicki Minaj, and so far over 5 million have signed up, as employers race to match the government funds. As Jeff Childers notes, "through encouragement alone" Trump is engaging in a massive wealth transfer from American corporations to babies and families. Further, this slams the door on "affordability" whines by DemoKKKrats. 7) Oops. DemoKKKrats in VA just learned that their electricity bills will go up by 200% thanks to the policies of the new DemoKKKrat lint-accumulator, Spanxberger. 8) Pressure mounts on DemoKKKrat states to enact school choice credits. Here in AZ, one of the pioneers, scarcely a week goes by that the horrific public school-supporting rags aren't bemoaning the exodus from the public institutions of moron-expansion. 9) Here is just another reason that the DemoKKKrats have gone Full Stormtrooper. (Ya never go Full Stormtrooper): the 2030 census will utterly end them, although I stand by my prediction that they will be functionally extinct after the 2028 election. Trump states are set to gain a net of 11 more Electoral Votes, meaning that just the currently "safe" seats as the Real Seth Keshel points out combined with 11 more puts any GOP candidate at needing just one single small state to win an Electoral College election. 10) And, to underscore that map, more good news as Kollyfornia's population declined again, this time by 200,000. Start getting it into the millions and it will produce change. Oh, and I missed this but a few days ago Wells Fargo announced it is pulling its wealth management office out of Kollyfornia and moving it to Palm Beach. 11) Chris Bray reveals the duplicity with which the Amazing Zohran now claims "Shazaam!" I never saw all these budget deficits that came from Eric the Red Adams. His solution? Why, of course, to raise taxes again on the "wealthy," who will continue to flee New Kabul. At least he admits the deficits were caused by the "migrant crisis." What? I thought all they did was make a nation wiser and wealthier. 12) That isn't quite at this level of moron-ity, where a Columbia Ph.D. student didn't report her rape---sentencing multiple other women to potentially become victims---because she didn't like police. 13) We'll see, but Speaker Mikey Johnson has said he will "codify" many of Trump's executive orders. 14) The House just re-passed the SAVE votrer integrity act to match the Senate's bill, and now it looks like it may pass. Can't Carry a Thune says he can pass it in the Senate. We'll see. 15) LAPD will not enforce Oleaginous Gruesome's ban on LEOs wearing face masks. Guess they don't want to have their families targeted, either. 16) I didn't see this episode on "Suits" or "Franklin and Bash," as a Bexar Co. judge was arrested for having an attorney handcuffed and locked in a jury box. She's out of order. Her whole damn court is out of order. IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS 17) This fight is going to be two steps forward and one back, as a Ninth Circuit Appeals Court panel said that DHS cannot remove deportation protections for 9,000 Venezuelans. IN CULTURAL NEWS 18) The great Ryan Burge asks churches, "When are half your members going to be dead?" In mainstream Protestant churches the average age is between 67-69.

Ep 196TODAY'S NEWS, January 27-28, 2026

IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) Everyone knew that was what this was about, or at least about in a significant way: Trump has linked the illegal criminal invader deportations in MN to the larger fraud investigations. Step three will be to link those financial frauds to voter fraud and purge MN of a million fraudsters. Accordingly, FBI Director Kash Patel said that the FBI is investigating MN DemoKKKrats' activist networks. They are accessories to a guy who wanted to kill ICE agents after all. These same fungalmaggots are running shadow operations to warn of the approach of ICE. 2) I told you this was how it would play out. The attempts by Frey-bread and the Prancing Gheyboy, Tampon Timmy, to "wall off" MN police and National Guard by having them wear different colored vests than the feds failed when they had to use force on the rioter venereal-rabbits. In a clash outside a hotel where ICE and Border Patrol were were staying, the locals had to use tear gas and actually make arrests. Why was this predictable? Because, metaphorically speaking, once the shooting starts there is no such thing as a neutral, and the evil commie anti-ICE crowd is determined to have violence. Oh, and speaking of the Border Patrol, all the panicans and doomspoogers were absolutely sure that returning Greg Bovino, head of Border Patrol (NOT ICE) to his station in El Centro, Kollyfornia, was a surrender. Jeez, the moronity! He was replaced by Tom Homan. Get it? A colonel, or at best, brigadier general (Bovino) was replaced by a three star general, Homan. Oh, and for all those lint-biscuits who said "Noem would be gone," President Trump is very happy with her. Same thing with these malevolent muttonmunchers on "our" side who keep saying Trump is backing off from deporting them all, Nope. Indeed, it is interesting that less than a day after the great datarepublican(r) on X posted thousands of fascist donor groups urging the insurrection and funding it, Tampon Timmy wanted to talk to Trump. 3) A fat, ugly, AWFUL Librarian (although in this case "affluent" should be replaced with "angry") was arrested and charged with recruiting people on line to assassinate President Trump. 4) The FBI executed a search warrant on Fulton Co., GA election offices. Here . . . we . . . go 5) This ridiculous walking anus, Amazing Zohran, is now offering so-called "free" child care for illegals. Of course, it's not free at all, paid for by whatever few people are left in New Kabul (NYC). An equally ridiculous and braindead zombie DemoKKKrat AG candidate in OH said he will "kill Donald Trump" by obtaining a conviction that includes capital punishment. These are the same people, folks, who picked the Arizona Cardinals or the New York Wright B Flyers to win the Super Bowl. 6) Turnabout is fair play, as a judge struck down VA's attempt to redistrict, saying the timeline is too short. If appealed, the state Supes are 4-3 R, though that doesn't necessarily mean a lot. Still, looks like we can add back about 2 more seats from redistricting to make it somewhere around 215-216 safe R with LA about to redistrict. Meanwhile, the GOP's Verne Buchanan (FL) announced he won't run again. This is a red district, but that is #31 GOP vs. 25 DemoKKKrats so far who are leaving. 7) Steve Schier of Carleton College has posted a map of the nation after the 2030 census leads to redistricting. Ds lose 11, Rs gain 11, This alone would almost give the GOP a lock on the presidency based on safe red states without flipping a single "battleground" or "contested" state, which is why I say J.D. Vance will win the 2028 race by between 320 and 340 EVs---BEFORE this occurs, but after this occurs, the DemoKKKrats are permanently finished as a national party. 8) As he continues to do, Trump moves so fast liberal tiddledigits can't begin to keep up. Now he has announced the feds will take over the Kollyfornia fire rebuild as the oleaginous and butyraceous Gruesome has done nothing. 9) TX governor Greg Abbott has suspended all H1B visa applications after accusations of fraud within the program surfaced. 10) Threats against ICE agents and their families are up 8,000% and DemoKKKrats want to prevent them from wearing masks. IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS 11) Rinse and repeat, because this is the pattern now for a year. Trump enacts a policy. A local magistrate or flatulence-producing robed spooge issues an order halting said policy. An appeals court of the Supes overturn said gas-emitter's ruling. This has been going on for almost 18 months. Basically all it is is a built in very temporary delay switch built into all of Trump's programs. Each will take a couple of months longer to take effect, but WILL TAKE EFFECT. Hence, an appeals court overruled a judge's order limiting ICE tactics. 12) The Feds have charged 87 with a massive "jackpotting" ATM scandal linked to the Tren de Arugula spoogenicks.

IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) Skinny Minny is ground zero for domestic terrorism and insurrection. Now an appellate court won't overturn the magistrate and issue an arrest warrant for Blind Lemon Don. This is extremely dangerous, and is soon going to leave President Trump no choice but to declare the Insurrection Act & use troops. An armed man was shot by federal agents after he resisted being disarmed. Apparently he did not listen to his parents who told him not to do anything stupid. Dey kai't hep it. It's who dey is. The Minny Po Po Chief issued a statement basically saying they saw the video and it was a justified shooting.. Trump lambasted the mayor and the governor: "Why weren't [the local police] allowed to protect ICE officers?" Then he---here comes the warmup---said they were guilty of "inciting insurrection." This must be crushed the way U.S. Grant crushed the KKK in the post-bellum South. Ruthlessly. Otherwise, you're going to get more of this: an "OH man" was arrested for making murderous ICE threats, and they found body armor, guns, and, of course, a Pale flag in his dump. Meanwhile, the Prancing Gheyboy Tampon Timmy has called up the MN national guard to "protect" federal buildings and blames it on the influx of ICE agents rather than on the real villain, the evil Somali scooterpooters who required ICE in the first place. Waltz will have them wear yellow vests to distinguish them---but not sure that will make a difference with violence occurs. As we learned with "peacekeeping" operations abroad, when violence starts, the worst place to be is in between the combatants. Walt's actions may be an attempt to forestall the Insurrection Act and speaking of which, Seth Keshel argues it's time to pull the pin and use the IA. I have no problem with the IA, but realize that 1) it simply adds more troops---which Trump can do other ways---but does not address the widespread "resistance/fascism" network of MN morons (see his examples here and here); 2) it in no way circumvents the judges, which is our biggest obstacle.. It also appears that the Molochian Minnies may so jump the shark that even many "nice" Minnesotans will have enough, such as these little Baal-lovers, who blocked stairs at a MN church so parents couldn't get their kids. It's also fitting that the chlamydia-dripping AG in MN, Keith ("Mr. Muslim") Ellison previously fought AGAINST allowing people to be armed in protests.UPDATE: Trump and Waltz had a phone call, and typical Trump, he said it went well and framed it as "they have some differences" but that Tampon Timmy is going to support ICE. Now, whether that's true or not, it means Trump now has Tampon Timmy "on record" so if he doesn't support ICE, Trump will claim he's a liar. 2) It's a "Snowpacalypse" in parts of the country, the TX grid, which underwent several improvements over the last five years under Gov. Abbott, is holding up. As of Sunday night, gas and oil held up, while renewables failed in TX. The vast majority of TX's energy is coming from gas and oil. By the way, over 12,000 flights have been canceled. {UPDATE: the new number is 23,000] 3) Here is the evil spinich-snorter who bilked Kollyfornians out of millions for "homeless shelters" that magically turned into $1,250 loafers and other luxury goods. 4) A Boca Raton nurse (get it? One who supposedly helps people?) was fired after she posted her wishes that Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt would suffer fatal side-effects of her pregnancy. Now, there is free speech, but you do not have any First Amendment right to damage your employer's business with your asswipery. 5) Both libertarian-leaning Robert Barnes and my own Zen Master have said that Trump would lose the birthright citizenship case because the best arguments against it are buried deep in English law. Well, it appears that's specifically what Bondi/Solicitor General are going to argue---history. It worked with guns, so we'll see. 6) Larry Fink of Black Rock correctly says that countries that avoided mass immigration will be "better positioned" for the future. Yeah, like they will be solvent. 7) Again, this MN fraud is going to be found everywhere, though perhaps a somewhat lower levels (except Kollyfornia). Now an appointee by MI's Witless Protection (Gretchen Witmer) is found to have bilked the state's taxpayers of millions. Oh yeah. Said bilksteress was a Nigerian college prof. Who coulda guessed? 8) In discussing the Manure-O Maduro raid, President Trump said that while he couldn't discuss the technology used, "We came in. They pressed buttons. Nothing worked" referring to the ChiCom and Russkie defense systems. 9) Using MN and ICE follies as an excuse, SpewMore is threatening to again shut down the gubment. Please do, evil sphinctermissile. Last time it worked out very well for the GOP. 20) Why Trump might win the Lisa Cook (Fed Reserve chick) case. 21) New Azteca (LA) is funding an anti-cop, Olympics-hating group to the tune of $1.4 million.

IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) Good to see, as I have been harping on the dramatic collapse of Congress as a functioning institution. Now, House Rs passed not one, not two, but TWELVE appropriations bills. It was the first time in 29 years the House did so. This is an absolutely necessary start to regaining Congressional power, but it's only a first step. 2) Nabbing a Venezuelan murder-monster will do that: Trump's popularity among Hispanics surged 28% and 24% in two new polls. 3) There have been multiple firings of FBI agents who worked the Patriot Day (J6) cases, along with others. There appears to be a much needed quiet purge going on inside the FBI. 4) Murders plummeted mor than 20% in most U.S. cities. 5) Panican Doomspooger Whine: "They don't arrest anyone." Reality: Several were arrested in the anti-ICE church terror event. I particularly love this one: the toodlespooter that begged AG Pam Bondi to arrest him? She took him up on it But, because Blind Lemon Don is a black homosexual, he was protected from arrest by a magistrate who, gee, had earlier released a terrorist who put a $45,000 bounty on Pam Bondi. This so-called magistrate himself needs to be in gen pop with a very large member of the Aryan Brotherhood introducing him to the fine points of the penal system. Meanwhile, Blind Lemon Don, who should be excited by any penal system, has gone dark, purged his social media account and hired a suit. Let's hope it's not Harvey Specter, or Bondi doesn't have a chance. Oh, and Cities Church, which was invaded by these leprous ballsnagglers, is filing civil suits against them. Good. In the Name of Jesus I sue thee! 6) There are fewer people stupider or more dangerous than the puspimple of an AZ AG, Kris Mayes, who urged people to "stand their ground" against ICE. That's the way people end up not standing their ground but being buried beneath it. 7) Speaking of AZ, check out the powerful shifts in voter registration here. Every single county moved to the right even more AFTER the 2024 election, including blue counties. 8) Lee Zeldin, head of the EPA, ended all testing on mammals by 2035. Save the doggies. 9) The House passed a DHS funding bill that includes new ICE and Border Patrol funding. Of all Rs, only the evil and moronic Masshole voted against it. What a poltroon. 10) A New York court ruled that the state must redraw its congressional map due to District 11, which is held by an R. This will be appealed, and no telling if it will be hashed out by November, but it could cost the GOP a seat in a narrow election. 11) The good news keeps coming, as the U.S. exited the World Health Org. You know, the WHO. Remember just three years ago when I predicted the WHO would collapse? 12) The New York Slimes needs a fact checker, cuz the doltish spudderjumper they have is flat WRONG on all facts. 13) Now the MN walking hernias attacking ICE agents are going after the dogs. I say, "loose the dogs of war." 14) When you read between the lines of leftist rags like Politico, which says Trump will have a third term even if he doesn't run because of the permanence of his policies, they are tacitly admitting that J.D. Vance will be the next president. 15) And here is another couple of pieces, where, if you read between the lines you can see that DemoKKKrats are panicked. "Liberal Patriot" blared, "Warning Lights" for DemoKKKrats." And an earlier piece from "Liberal Patriot," it warned that DemoKKKrats are engaged in "cultural denialism." 16) Winter storm coming and it's gonna be a cold one. Many places right now are colder than Hillary's, er . . . heart. IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS 17) Again, this is why I say that MN is ground zero for breaking ALL fraud, including voter fraud. You see all the hideous groups are fomenting agitation there, commies, Black Looters Matter, you name em.

IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) In the biggest news of the day, President Trump took a flamethrower to the Davos crowd. Here is his entire (long) speech. He roasted the stupid Mediocre Brits for just sitting on energy while having energy shortages. He also, as always, negotiated a deal for territory in Greenland. Chowderchimneys as always failed to understand Trump's negotiating tactics. He begins with, "We want Greenland." But he really doesn't. What he wants is access to key areas of Greenland for the Golden Dome defense. Libs and Hoax Newsers freak out. "Trump is going to invade Greenland." Moronic Little Macaroni in France says "we'll send troops." Germany actually SENT 13 guys (!!!!), then withdrew them after 48 hours. Trump conquered France and Germany in less time than it took the Nazis to take Poland. Now they're all, "Oh, wait, you will be happy with THESE territories? Sure! Fine!" Trump then called off the extra tariffs. And NOW we get the "experts" saying, "You know, Greenland is critical to defending against Russkie and ChiCom missiles." The New York Slimes tries to minimize this astounding accomplishment by saying he's getting "pockets" of territory. Exsqueeze me, Slimes. If someone said they "wanted' New York, and ended up only getting the "pocket" of NYC, I'm pretty sure they'd be viewed as successful. Don't think anyone will fight too much over the fact they got to keep the Buffalo Hillbillies. Then Howard Luttnick came on stage and said, "Globalism has failed." The only thing more painful to those chatterspatters would have been if he finished with "In the Name of Jesus," but that may be a bridge too far for a Jew. 2) In New Somalia, better known as MN, Blind Lemon Don faces (irony) KKK charges in barging into a church to terrify worshipers. The DOJ is investigating, but the chorus of "WE WANT ARRESTS" is starting to become deafening. I have defended Bondi, but now we're a year in, had two hapless efforts to arrest James Scrotumtoter Comey and Letitia James that went awry, and nothing else. To say the natives are restless would be an understatement. One of the invaders was a staffer in the county attorney's office. Oh, and the Eighth Circuit said that ICE and cops can go back to using normal, approved tactics with the Molochian eggplant eaters. 3) Told you the split wouldn't last long. Elon Musk is putting $10m into a key KY Senate race. 4) Seth Keshel argues that VA is a cautionary tale, especially when the morons in IN refused to redistrict cuz it wouldn't be "nice." VA, where DemoKKKrats now have a trifecta, are going to enact all their fascist terrorist policies before you can say "Avengers: Doomsday." Meanwhile, in better news in a voter roll cleanup, Pima Co., AZ (deep blue) lost 3600, going from D+8 to D+7.7. If you can read the habanero leaves, the Hoax News media is preparing people for a GOP victory in the midterms, saying, hatred of Trump must exceed hatred of the DemoKKKrat Terror Party---cuz the dirty little secret is that NO ONE except the pierced pink-headed AWFULs likes the DemoKKKrat Terrorists. 5) Speaking of terrorists, women are far more supportive of political assassination than men. Course, women, on the whole, don't use guns at nearly the same rate as men, so what they are really supporting is MEN to do their dirty work for them. 6) President Trump had a better first year than FDR, accomplishing as much without nearly the Congressional or infrastructure support. 7) Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders has led a powerful attack to roll back ChiCom agricultural land purchases in Arkansas. 8) Every day more evidence surfaces about the illegal and unconstitutional efforts the Rutabaga administration ran to stomp all who opposed them, with the FBI paying anti-Trump "sedition hunters" to rat out Republicans and MAGA victims. 9) Despite great efforts by Harmeet Dhillon in the DOJ to eliminate DEI, some agencies in Trump's administration (Small Business Administration) are still allowing essays trumpeting a person's race and ethnicity for loan grants. 10) I love this headline: "Meet the Americans so desperate to flee Trump they are living in Dutch refugee camp." Great. Right next to the Religion of Peace (TROP trademark). 11) This is karmic irony. The Amazing Zohran, who almost certainly won the vast majority of the AWFULs (Affluent White Female Urban Liberals)---though in fairness most people would agree that the "U" could stand for "Ugly" and "Unhinged"---has an "equity officer" (which is to say, someone with no skills, no talent, and no real job tasks) who said she wanted to "Tax them [AWFULs) to the white meat" and other colorful racist quips. IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS 12) Shocked, I tell ya. Drug overdose deaths plummeted after Trump shut down the border. 13) More Skinny Minny fraud exposed by Nick Shirley in the area this time of transportation services.

IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) A great column here by Chris Bray on blue zone collapse. Many of us have wondered, "how long can this keep goin' on" (with apologies to the band, "Ace")? Bray argues that the size of these cancerous blue zones prevents an implosion as one might see with a Vegas casino, but rather a slow, mind-numbing reduction in daily quality of life and government services that people are slow to respond to---a kind of boiled frog. He notes various towns around SF have seen their fire departments halved, police response time now up to 30 minutes, plus the constant un-repaired roads, while money consistently goes into administrators' pockets. Chris followed up with another column in the same vein, showing how Hennepin Co. (MN, naturally) County Hospital is collapsing with a $36 million deficit. In a letter to all employees, the administrator said they must find $50 million in the first quarter or close. Welp, ya got 11 weeks. This utter pigbladder of an administrator, when listing the hospital's mission, didn't say "Healing the sick." Oh no. Wanna guess? Yep, "ending disparities' in health care. Folks they are more concerned that everyone dies together than anyone lives. 2) CBS says Trump's approval among Republicans is 90%. It's the Communist Broadcasting System, so make it 97%. But hold on. I thought DemoKKKrats were going to win everything in November. Now The Hill (a DemoKKKrat mouthpiece) is warning that it may be entirely derailed by the Skinny Minny fraud? Meanwhile, I do NOT trust any poll, but this one is pretty devastating for DemoKKKrats. Oh, and DemoKKKrats are already dividing over Cackles, who is "eyeing" a 2028 presidential run. Look, it's her or the Amazing Zohran. She isn't radical enough for the chutescooters in fascist antifa or Black Looters Matter. So you're gonna get Zohran with a divided party;. Can you say President Vance with 360 electoral votes? I'm telling you, this is a serious rift in the DemoKKKrat Party and this Israel thing is one of the big divides is. Cackles had her staff investigate PA Gov. Josh "Slaphappy" Shapiro as an Israeli agent. Can you say the Nuremberg Nicky of the left? 3) I don't trust any poll, but for those of you who like polls, this one says Americans trust Rs more than DemoKKKrats on almost every issue. 4) Louisiana's governor Jeff Landry says his state's DOGE initiative has saved $1 billion already. 5) The FBI caught more "most wanted" criminals in Trump's first year than in all four years of Rutabaga's failed administration. 6) Elon Musk is closing in on a net worth of $800 billion. 7) An OR city has reversed its vote to allow a convicted murderer to sit on a police board. 8) Muy Macho Marco worked his Latin magic and sidelined the "War Powers Act." 9) President Trump will file a suit against JP Morgan Chase for debanking conservatives. 10) Four MS-13 gangbangers in Sen. Chris Van Hollen's MD district lured a 14-year-old boy into a park and hacked him to pieces with machetes 11) U-Haul statistics show people are now fleeing PA, with hits blue legislature and governor. Popular destinations are all red states: TX, NC, TN, FL. 12) It really must have hurt the New York Slimes to write this: "As Davos convenes, deference to Trump has replaced everything." Why would that be? I thought the Euros were all powerful. One lib chockesmoker said "This is the end of Davos.' Hallelujah. The WEF, says the Slimes, has devolved into "just a business meeting." Er, Slimes, that's precisely how the stupid WEF started. IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS 13) The New York Slimes says the situation in MN is about a "civic ideal" of "nice." Sorry. It's about growing up and dealing with a poisonous corruption and a foreign invasion. Both MN and UT hide behind being "welcoming" and "nice" to avoid confronting unpleasant realities that require government, and the public, to NOT be "nice" but to be adults. 14) The Border Patrol head in MN invited local cops and national guard to join ICE . . . and many did. Meanwhile, Kristi Noem announced over 10,000 arrests of illegals in MN. 15) Seattle's woke poodlenoodle of a mayor is actually sending these little Marxist choadmonkeys to "ICE resistance" camps. Sorry, but this demands and arrest. 16) The border is definitely locked down tighter than a rusty nut, as Customs and Border Patrol say there have been ZERO releases in eight months. IN CULTURAL NEWS 17) Karens have been replaced by a new term, AWFUL (Affluent White Female Urban Liberals). IN ECONOMIC NEWS 18) GM's bet on EVs cost it $7 billion already, with no end in sight. The thing is, GM has almost fraudulently been kicking this can down the road by NOT recording these losses in quarterly reports . . . until now. Meanwhile, Jeep just pulled the plug on hybrids. 19) A new geological survey shows there are an additional 1.6 billion barrels of oil and 28 trillion feet of gas remaining in Texas and New Mexico yet to be recovered. 20) Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says it's unlikely th

IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) The people spoke and AG Pam Bondi listened, firing six federal prosecutors who refused to support ICE operations. The DOJ has also launched a criminal investigation of the Prancing Gheyboy Tampon Timmy. 2) As an educator, one of my running themes here is to remind you of stuff we discussed before, not to say "told ya so" (though I did) but to keep things in perspective. In this case, I've been saying the Skinny Minny fraud is the breakpoint on all this stuff, including a lot of leftover USAID $ they were re-funneling. So now Dr. Oz, administrator for the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, has found another $1.8 billion in fraudulent spending under the previous administration, all of it linked to . . . illegal aliens. Just one of many, but this MN resident exemplifies the DemoKKKrat Civil War #2 I alerted you to last year when he essentially says toward the end that the Skinny fraudsters are are sucking up money meant for the hood. Watch to the end, as he has a slow build to rage. Meanwhile, Nick Shirley exposes another $16 million MN fraud. DemoKKKrats get that what is coming is unstoppable, hence the MN AG Keith Ellison has actually charged a Muslim man with fraud. They are trying to get ahead of it. 3) Common sense DemoKKKrats at "The Liberal Patriot" understand that you can't have an immigration policy that doesn't block people and/or deport them. Fortunately no one else in the DemoKKKrat Terror Party will listen to them. 4) Wait, so you're telling me Donald Trump is going to Make American Gangs Great Again? Foreign fraudsters are now impinging on West Coast Crips/Bloods gang operations. I sense a new alliance afoot. 5) This is more like it. The U.S. plans to build a nuke reactor on the moon by 2030 in preparation for deep space flight. 6) Jazzy What-a-Crockett looks sunk as the DemoKKKrats move to ditch her. 7) Both FL and TX are beginning to cut out the American Bar Association from its malicious influence on justice selection and law school oversight. 8) Seth Keshel argues that the Trump administration has figured out the foundation of voter fraud. Bondi has sued 23 states for their voter rolls. Some, as expected, are fighting back, but eventually this will likely become unavoidable to all states. As Keshel notes, in the states WITHOUT "automatic voter registration," Trump won 243 Electoral Votes and 25 states in 2024, while Cackles only won one state and one district that for 5 Electoral Votes from non-automatic-voter-registration states. In fact, Trump has already deported enough people from MN for the state to lose a congressional seat! Good. 9) Chris Bray argues that the "expulsion of noise" from the butyraceous and oleaginous Grusome is meant to disguise the fact that Kollyfornia is broke. His own state Legislative Analyst Office said that the negative condition of state finances is "now chronic." Some of MN's people are now saying the same about their state. Folks, even if every single agency under USAID isn't completely closed, good enough. Trump has turned off the spigots to the point that several blue states have become insolvent. And Trump will not bail them out. And of course they blame Trump for their own evil. 10) As we all predicted at the time, the hideous Obamacare---what is left of it---made premiums spiral. 11) The gubment is offering a $100,000 reward for info leading to the capture of little spleenblisters who broke into gubment vehicles in MN and stole weapons. IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS 12) The U.S. has suspended visa processing for 75 countries. 13) The State Department has revoked 100,000 visas under President Trump. 14) Illegals in TX have sucked up over $1 billion in medical bills. 15) The ICE agent who killed the criminal obstructionist trying to run him down with a car is now a millionaire thanks to GoFundMe. IN CULTURAL NEWS 16) Yale University has purged every single Republican from its faculty. Not surprised, and not hard to do. In the 1990s, various think tanks ran surveys of major universities. U of CO only had one out of 100 in the liberal arts college. Most others were lucky to have even two. IN ECONOMIC NEWS 17) A new deal with TSMC (Taiwan) chip company will see it invest $500 billion in US manufacturing. 18) The U.S. may be entering the greatest period of construction in history, as the AI boom demands millions of new construction employees. 19) The Detroit Auto Show showed no love for EVs. 20) President Trump has called for an "emergency energy auction" to force Big Tech to pay for their own energy. THIS IS MUCH NEEDED. 21) Manufacturing wages rose $1300 in Trump's first year back. 22) President Trump will unveil a plan to allow people to use their 401K funds as home down payments. 23) Condo prices have started to fall. 24) U.S. existing home sales surged 5% in December..

IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) While it's early, it appears that the artificial "outrage" over the shooting of the MN would-be car murderer failed to achieve liftoff. Not that they ain't trying. There is a big protest organized by the Socialists in NYC here; and as Roger Kimball argues here, the cold in part tamped down protests in many blue cities. Let them eat icicles. There were "tens of thousands" of marchers in MN, demanding "We won't stop til it's 1793." Apparently devoid of any historical understanding, 1793 was the year the "Reign of Terror" began in France, where, after a few nobles were separated from their cranial cavities, guess who the Committee on Public Safety came for? Yep. The very "revolutionaries" like Robespierre who started the bloodshed. Oh, and who was left standing? This guy: 2) That didn't take long: a newly-sworn-in Somali city council member in ME resigned after an indictment for fraud. 3) Remember the 2024 campaign and I said the DemoKKKrats had five civil wars, and couldn't win any of them? Yeah, still happening. They have a civil war going on over ICE funding. PA continues to trend Republican with another big jump of R+7200. Now Rs are down only 49,000 in active voters. PA will be red before 2028. And after a court fight, OR will clean 800,000 names from the rolls. Wanna bet how many of those are DemoKKKrats? And here is Clinton pollster Mark Penn warning that the DemoKKKrat spoogemuffins are going to dominate the party until it disappears. Wait, who else has been saying the DemoKKKrats would disappear? Meanwhile, a DemoKKKrat strategist warns that Kollyfornia will see a mass exodus in the next few months due to ridiculously high prices and high taxes. It is true that independents have hit a record high, but that's not good news for DemoKKKrats, as a) a much higher percentage of indies come from Ds, and b) the GOP nevertheless has gained relative to DemoKKKrats in every state. I look at this as a two-step process: first, leave the DemoKKKrats, second, join the GOP later. 4) Kollyfornia wealthy people prepare to leave if wealth tax is implemented. This includes the two Google founders, Sergey Brin and Larry Page. Gruesome is scrambling to try to undo this. He can't. 5) No one has mentioned this, but there is a "massive" $32 billion plan by Trump to overhaul the nation's air traffic control system, long overdue. 6) The once-decent state of CO is now appearing ready to grant Tina Peters clemency. I think Trump withholding water funds has something to do with that. 7) The DoJ has subpoenaed Fed chairman Jerome Powell after his Congressional testimony where he may have lied about rennovations to the Fed Palace. Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. attorney for D.C., said there is no "indictment" but that Powell's refusal to reply to simple requests from DOJ led to the subpoena. 8) The Washington Compost wrote a piece saying Count Dooku (Jack Smith) was a threat to the first amendment. Jeff Childers, in his "Coffee & Covid," says this is a preemptory move to get ahead of prosecutions that are coming. Hope so. 9) I know every state says this about their GOP but it appears the toadsuckers in AK are just crazy. Now they are trying to protect a DEI program. MurCowSki must go, and go now. 10) And just like that, we will be going back to the moon, with a Feb. launch mission. All it takes is leadership. 11) A bank has sued former mayor of Benghazi-by-the-Lake, Lori Lightfoot, for not paying her bills for 17 months. 12) Left wing rag & DemoKKKrat mouthpiece Politico is laying off staff. 13) This author thinks that the defunding of state illegal alien operations by Trump is causing the Deep State to panic. I agree. It appears they shifted some of their USAID money over to Somali fraud, but now that's gone too. IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS 14) Transpo Secretary Sean Duffy says that 50% of all trucker drivers' licenses in NC were issued to illegals. 15) Vehicular assaults on ICE officers up 3,200%. 16) A court ruled that Trump can indeed impose a $100,000 H1B visa fee. 17) Operation "Salvo" removes 54 more illegals from New Kabul (NYC). 18) DHS surging more agents into MN. Gooooood. Meanwhile Trump ended "Temporary protection" status for Somalis. Is it working? Oh yeah. DHS has been shipping out busloads of illegals on planes, back to their garden paradises. 19) More suitcase follies as in OH a suitcase headed overseas with $136 million in cash was nabbed by DHS. IN CULTURAL NEWS 20) This struggling MA college missed its enrollment goals by half! 21) Several states are changing their time-in-service salary structure for teachers to merit pay. Good intent, but usually merit pay, which must be measured by tangible test results, adds more paperwork and, like anything, can be jimmied. We'll see. Merit for what? teaching Marxist garbage?
