    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 CULTURAL NEWS 13) Twenty years later, the demonic-looking Algore sees his utterly false ...

    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. It's astounding....

    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. The "Axis of Anarchy." 18) DHS is more than doubling the self-deportation bonus. 19) Me-hee-co sent 37 cartel members to the U.S. to face justice. IN CULTURAL NEWS 20) The President of Brandeis says up to 25% of colleges may close. Boo hoo. This is what happens when you cease to perform your primary purpose of actually educating people and instead indoctrinate them. 21) A new theory about the Ark of the Covenant is that it was built to show God was not contained inside, but was bigger than any man-made idol. Here I thought it was mainly a Nazi killer. IN ECONOMIC NEWS 22) Microsoft's CEO says they must do "something useful" with AI or they will lose "social permission" to burn electricity. Ah, not exactly there, tuddledumps. We have lots of electricity. What you will lose is access to consumer-paid free electricity to you. Pony up, little man. Irena Slav also notes that "OpenAI may go bankrupt by 2027." 23) Consumer sentiment surged last month. Oops. You mean things are getting better? IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS 24) Alberta wants to separate from Canada. 25) Really bad news for Europe, as solar and wind have ...
