    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 INTERNATIONAL NEWS 22) Imagine that. In Mediocre Britain, London has banned a "walk with Jesus" march through a majority Muslim neighborhood. Gee, why? I thought Islam as "The Religion of Peace" (TROP ...

    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. IN ECONOMIC NEWS 19) Home Depot has cut 800 corporate jobs and required employees to return to the office. China Virus is officially dead, Jim. 20) WINNING: Unemployment insurance claims fall to the lowest since September 2024---and remember, back then, the jobs stats ...

    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 ...
