    IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) The memorial service in Phoenix, AZ, for Charlie Kirk, was gigantic. All of the State Farm Stadium was full, even seats on the playing field. Some 200,000 more were in overflow. Numbers range from 150,000 to 300,000 with over 100 million streaming views. Kirk's pastor gave an invitation, and hundreds were saved. Speaker Ben Carson noted that Kirk was shot at 12:24 pm. He looked up John 12:24: 2) Speaking of Dr. Carson, Trump will award him the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Well deserved, sir. But in the meantime, Kirk's memorial made clear the spiritual war that is going on in America right now. 3) For what it's worth, the South African prophet Kim Clement, who accurately prophesied Trump's election in 2016 (Kim is now dead), said a woman would arise to lead the nation, and that the healing would start in the . . . schools. He said the woman would lead a "new party" and would arise in the midst of Trump's term. 4) If I could list/post all the haters that I alone have encountered on X, there wouldn't be enough space on my hard drive. Here is just one, a NJ teacher fired for saying some people have to die. Meanwhile, another DemoKKKrat shooter at a NH wedding, this moronic toejam shouted "Free Palestine." Dear fungaltoad: first, there is not such thing as Palestine; second, why don't the Arab states take in the Pales and "free" them? and third, what would they do with "freedom?" Many of the other Islamic garden spots are festering manure piles. 5) Seth Keshel has the latest voter registration updates: Maricopa Co., AZ, now is R=195,000, or 85,000 more Rs than the WHOLE STATE in 2020. All counties haven't reported, but Pima (deep blue DemoKKKrat stronghold is DOWN by 4,000; In just the first few weeks of this month (i.e., the Charlie Kirk effect) PA Rs have gained another 5,400, bringing the D lead down to 169,000 (It was 1.1 MILLION in 2012). 6) Definitely not good numbers in this poll, but I'm afraid that right now, it's accurate. One side or the other must win this decisively as the great Rush Limbaugh used to say. Some 37% of Americans say they hate people with opposing views, and 21% say violence against the other side is ok. What do you know? That 37% is right at the number of DemoKKKrats in this country. 7) DemoKKKrats are so screwed (volume 139). They can't do a deal with Republicans on the budget because their terrorist base would likely literally kill them, but they don't dare shut down the gubment, either. Now they want Trump to bail them out. NO. 8) Trump withdrew the nomination of Eric Siebert as AG of the Eastern District of VA who was plodding and resistant in his prosecution of Letitia James. 9) President Trump, in a move that shocked Big Tech, reset the annual H1B fee to $100,000 from $1,000. That, according to Jeff Childers, "wrestled the out-of-whack incentives back to where they should be." Trump then unveiled a "fast track gold card" for $1 million that allowed someone to jump to the front of the line to be vetted and reviewed---it did not get them an automatic visa. But it had to be in the form of a gift to the U.S., thereby not requiring a new law. Also, it streamlined the bureaucratic process. Taken together, as Childers notes, this is true "Immigration Reform." 10) In PA early voting, Rs are 7 points ahead of where they were in 2021, Ds 7 points behind. With a long way to go, Winsome Sears-Earle---who had been given up for dead in the VA governor's race---made a shocking comeback and now Republican counties are turning out much heavier than DemoKKKrat counties. Meanwhile, The Hill now warning DemoKKrats they are losing da youts. Normally I'd say "shhhhh," but it doesn't matter. The DemoKKKrats are now in their kamikaze seats, and they have neither reverse gear, landing gear, nor parachutes. 11) Federal charges against the man who murdered Iryna Zarutska mean the death penalty is in play. 12) The kids of DemoKKKrat OR Senator Ron Wyden drove an assistant to suicide with sexually explicit behavior and homosexual slurs. Huh? I thought DemoKKKrats were down with the homosexual struggle? 13) Nine states have cloud-seeding operations. IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS 14) DemoKKKrat candidates were part of a crowd blocking a road outside of an ICE facility. Throw them in with the illegal criminal alien invaders. 15) ICE arrested 550 in Benghazi-by-the-Lake (Chicago). IN CULTURAL NEWS 16) The great Ryan Burge shows that religious people are happier than non-religious. IN ECONOMIC NEWS 17) The Pentagon hails the restart of a critical minerals mine in Idaho. 18) A final deal for Tik Tok hands over security and data algorithms to US. companies. 19) US oil rig counts are on the rise. And Exxon-Mobile has expanded its off-shore Guyana operations. 20) H1Bs? Supposedly this will hurt corporate America, but the markets are marching upward, with Intel gaining 23% in the week. IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS 21) Not surprised: a German shopowner has put up a ...

    IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) Senate Majority Leader John "Can't-Carry-a" Thune managed to package together 43 Trump nominees for a confirmation vote. 2) Apparently this judge doesn't like to read. He threw out Trump's $15 billion suit against the New York Slimes for being "too long" and said he'd consider a shorter version. 3) New Hampshire police broke up a plot by a Jew-hater to bomb and assassinate Governor Kelly Ayotte (R). 4) After talking with Xi, Trump will again go to Chy-na. 5) Erika Kirk is taking over Turning Point USA's leadership. And in D.C., 58 DemoKKKrats voted against a resolution to honor Charlie. 6) President Trump said that the administration will (correctly) designate fascist so-called "antifa" as a terrorist organization., Good. Now do the DemoKKKrat Party. Seth Keshel notes that one of the outcomes would be "A federal designation would subject financiers and quartermasters to severe prison terms up to 20 years, making it far less lucrative to lend wealth and gear" to the violent fascists. Oh, and speaking of the party of love, a DemoKKKrat state rep cut the head off of a chicken and said her supporters need to "slay Republicans" with her. FBI anyone? 7) Election integrity is coming, as these Manhattan election officials found out when they tried to stop it. 8) Cackles really wanted Pete Buttplugs as her running mate, but the decision got nixed over concerns of "identity politics." Translation: Americans don't want homosexuals running the country. And word continues to leak out about how incompetent Rutabaga was, as his own chief of staff wanted a competency test after the debate. Oh, and the same chief of staff said that Hunter Biteme was directly involved in autopen pardons. 9) Four Republican gonad-grippers joined with all DemoKKKrats to prevent the evil Illicit Mullah Omar, the terrorist supporter, from being censured and booted off committees. 10) We don't have comprehensive numbers yet, but I have already posted Maricopa Co, AZ and PA numbers showing GOP registrations absolutely taking off after Charlie Kirk's assassination. Now, NC where Rs gained about 6,000 net, knocking the DemoKKKrat lead down to barely double digits while putting the GOP active voter lead at around 100,000!!! This was a blue state just four years ago by voter registration. 11) Another Army helo crashed in D.C., with a search on for four people. 12) The cost of Zero's "presidential library and basketball court" has now surpassed $700 million and it's still not finished. IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS 13) Some 2 million illegals have already been deported or self-deported since Trump took office. Great start. This would come to around 10 million by 2028, or perhaps half of all illegals in the country. 14) Trump is "mulling" a $100,000 H1B visa charge IN CULTURAL NEWS 15) The Trump administration has partnered with Turning Point USA and Hillsdale to develop a civics education coalition. We must be careful here. One of the things we've tried to do is to separate gubment from education, and just cuz it's "our" classes doesn't mean it will turn out well. 16) Cornell University has warned "non-marginalized" students to avoid minority recruiting events. Why? Today they are the marginalized people at universities. 17) CEOs of Reddit, Discord, and other darker sites have been "invited" to D.C. to talk. Honestly, I'm not sure there is much they could or should do. This is on parents to be ever more vigilant. IN ECONOMIC NEWS 18) Jobless applications fell by 10,000 more than expected in a reversal. 19) Cracker Barrel's branding blunder cost the company $143 million. Maybe get rid of the CEO? 20) A major Detroit battery plant has been canceled in a return to reality. 21) Condo prices are dropping in major markets. Can this be, in some part, the D.C. market thinning out after so many pink slips? 22) The Department of Energy launched the "Speed to Power" initiative to accelerate large scale grid infrastructure projects. Meanwhile, David Blackmon notes that the dismissal of a major suit by Puerto Rico against oil companies for weather damage is futher evidence that the "green" scammers are in full retreat. 23) Even as the Fed has cut rates a little, grocery sticker shock is still a real thing. IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS 24) Irena Slav is simply the best at covering the Eurospoogies and their energy issues. Here is her latest roundup: 1) (From REUTERS no less: "Sky High Energy Costs Hinder Britain's Net-Zero Mission", 2) Shell has shelved its biofuels plant, 3) Lloyds of London will again begin covering oil and gas projects, 4) a heat pump maker says the Euros are in a "structural slump.", 5) and the Aussies put their first big offshore wind auction on hold as no investors have stepped forward. 25) You want more? Her amazing column yesterday had about a dozen key indicator-stories of the collapse of the Huns' economy, including Audi to cut 7,000 jobs; Deustch Post to slash 8,000 jobs; Damler Truck to ...

    IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) President Trump was given a full state welcome, according to Piers Morgan, not even accorded any other head of state in Mediocre Britain. If anyone can make MB great again, it's the Donald. 2) There was a ridiculously hostile 'hearing" in the Senate with Kash Patel, FBI Director. In one exchange, Sen. Dick Turban asked why the Epstein memo was unsigned. Patel responded, "Would you have preferred I used the autopen?" In the rest of Patel's testimony, he repeatedly tried to answer questions, such as those from Schiffty the Human Lemur, who continued to talk over his answers. The Senate absolutely MUST get this crap under control with mics being cut off by the so-called "questioners" so that witnesses may answer, and witnesses MUST be given the same amount of time to answer as questioners have to pontificate. Patel said the FBI is investigation more than 1,700 domestic terror cases (of which, I'd bet, 1,699 were DemoKKKrat terrorists but the media would hype the one that wasn't as "evidence" that "both sides do it.") He also noted that the original Epstein investigation out of FL was badly botched and implied that critical evidence was neither gathered or was done so in a way it cannot be used in court. Moreover, he said there was no evidence Epstein trafficked youngsters for others and said if there was he would have brought the case "yesterday." While not saying if Epstein was a CIA source, he did say the Epstein definitely was NOT an FBI source. 3) Text messages from Tyler Robinson to his transoid roommate involve multiple confessions. Robinson has been charged with murder. and confessed to the po-po. This evil toenail clipper was a full blown leftist. No question. And the gubment is now investigating a group called "Armed Queers" who were a fascist antifa-related bunch of slobberbuttons in relation to their role in CHarlie Kirk's death. 4) Indian activists (as in Krishna, not Geronimo) have gone after a TX business that sought reforms to H1B visas. This may be our next big immigration problem. 5) Terrific news as Adrian Fontes, the useless AZ Secretary of State, was handed a humiliating defeat by the Ninth Circuit on violating election law at voting locations. We need this nocturnal netherdweller in a cell. 6) Luigi Mangione, who allegedly killed the CEO of United Pharma, will not fact terrorism charges but will nevertheless face murder charges. He will be very popular in prison. 7) On Monday, AG Pam Bondi did what 20 years worth of conservative whining failed to accomplish: she united liberals and conservatives behind the idea that we should eliminate all "hate speech" laws by saying that we needed to pay attention to hate speech. I have the full analysis here. Needless to say, she issued a clarification---which, had she said that in the first place, probably little would have happened. The predictable scatterbuckets on the right, who hate Bondi cuz she hasn't perp walked Epstein's corpse yet, were all over the hate-Pam stuff. (Remember they wanted Matt Gaetz, whose brushes with the law likely would not have even allowed him to be confirmed, let alone serve). Meanwhile the Pamster's department has merely won about 29/30 Trump related cases that have reached a final decision. If you want to know why she's there, despite a gaffe or two, look no further than those decisions. She is the most successful litigating AG in American history. In a few years when all hate speech laws are dead and defunct, conservatives will owe her an amazing debt of gratitude. Meanwhile, an investigation of Rutabaga showed he politicized and weaponized law enforcement against ordinary people following Patriot Day, (J6) which we already knew. 8) Such upstanding citizens. A wife and son helped dismember a man's body with a chainsaw after he was shot in a poker game. 9) E. Jean Carroll's $83m suit against President Trump is likely to hit the rocks in the Surpeme Court. 10) In what may be the biggest contribution yet to the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library, the President has filed a whopping $15 billion suit against the New York Slimes for defamation. 11) Is this the start? Fed prosecutors met in Virginia with James (Scrotumtoter) Comey's leaker after serving him with a subpoena. Meanwhile, FL's AG has launched an investigation of his own into Rutabaga. What did he do you ask? Well there was this little investigation into virtually ALL conservatives called "Operation Arctic Frost." His politicized FBI under Smarmy Wray looked at over 100 groups, including Turning Point USA. Jeff Childers notes that the FL investigation could be a major shift, as presidential pardons don't cover state crimes, and other state AGs may join in. Pot, meet kettle. Oh, and the way AG Uthmeier is able to do this? He's getting a lot of evidence from the Senate Judiciary Committee, i.e., Charles ("The Lawnmower") Grassley. 12) I can't read all of these in my video, but wow. Look at the numbers that swarmed everything ...
