IN POLITICAL NEWS

 

1) You know me. I cannot abide headlines such as "prepared to," "poised to," etc. But when the Supes put this lineup on their docket, it's pretty clear they are "about to" make a major ruling by consolidating three of the cases challenging Trump into a single one, with hearings to begin post haste.

 

2) President Trump is killing it among da youts, particularly 18-29 (+16).

 

3) Rutabaga had over 600 funded propaganda (anti-"disinformation") programs. Trump is ripping these up by the roots.

4) What is it with these "Maryland men?" The "Maryland Man" Kilmar Garcia was a criminal despite being here illegally as DOJ documents show. After MS-13 gangbanger Garcia was gently remanded to the care of an El Salvadoran prison, this "Maryland Man" (Minh Vong) pled guilty to giving the ChiComs access to secret materials. He should get the Garcia treatment. And you want to see how Americans react to the poor "Maryland Man?" 56% now support booting out ALL illegal immigrants.

 

5) Big Wind is decimating the Golden Eagle population, down to an estimated 30,000 from 80,000 since the wind farms started. A stop-wind-farming order should go out now from the Fish and Game, as two new studies show eagle decimation is due to Big Wind. HENCE! Interior Secretary Doug Burgham ordered all work halted on New York's Empire Wind project to the howls from NY Gov. Hock-a-lugie on the grounds of "insufficient research" before the permit was issued. Indeed, NONE of these researched the impact on whales or eagles.

 

6) Indiana's governor Mike Braun implemented a host of MAHA orders, including banning sugary sodas from items that can be purchased by food stamps.

 

7) Now, no one knows what he means but the White House Director of Science & Technology Policy said that we are capable of "manipulating time and space." What, like "Stargate" or "Endgame" manipulating??

 

8) Evil judge Chutkin again steps in to try to block ending EPA grants. Must be horrible to go through life brain dead with a name that sounds like a disease: "I've got Chukins in my kidneys." And speaking of brain dead, Rutabaga is struggling to book speaking gigs. His price compared to previous presidents is very low, $300,000. Back in the 80s and early 90s, Ronald Reagan was getting $2 million. Course, he actually accomplished something, winning the Cold War.

 

9) President Trump proposes cutting foreign aid by 75% and eliminating funding for NATO, the UN, and other "international organizations." Hmm. I'd say, cut 100%.

 

10) More Pentagon leakers placed on leave.

11) President Trump has extended the federal hiring freeze. Good. Extend it for three more years. Oh, and IRS employees only had to show up once a month at the office before Trump took over. Dunno, maybe we should be grateful?

 

12) The Trump Administration has released 10,000 pages of RFK assassination material.

 

13) The Wisconsin yout who wanted to kill President Trump was communicating with the Ukes and "someone in Russia." Who? Like John Brennanski?

 

14) Dem Fundraiser ActBlue is in trouble, with links to terror organizations. Well, I have been saying that the DemoKKKrat Party needs to be banned for being a terrorist org just like the Nazis in Germany.

 

IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS

 

15) File under pigs are flying and the Dallas Cowboys are about to win a Super Bowl! Justice . . . wait for it . . . KAGAN has rejected an emergency appeal by illegal criminal aliens, clearing the way for their deportation. This is one of the reasons you're not seeing "millions" deported. Team Trump has to go through all of these preliminary steps to make it clear there will be no appeals.

 

IN CULTURAL NEWS

 

16) This is great. The Trump admin is really putting Harvard into that testicle-squeezing device. Now they cannot enroll foreign students until/unless they provide detailed records of said students' violence and misconduct on campus. And Harvard's typical lib response? Death. Harvard says it will kill lab animals if there isn't any money.

 

17) Over 80% of Americans believe in life after death, and that number is slightly growing.

 

IN ECONOMIC NEWS

 

18) Americans love nukes: some 61% strongly or somewhat favor nuke energy now.

 

19) Is this the real economic confidence index? Spending is up, including at restaurants and bars.

 

20) Maybe I"m nuts, maybe my non-existent economic training was wrong, but when I see the world beating a path to America's door to hold our Treasuries, I think, "Gee, we must be in pretty darn good shape that the world wants to invest here."

 

21) This is big: the FDA says that reps of Big Pharma will no longer be allowed to sit on advisory boards, and will be replaced by patients and caregivers.

 

IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS

 

22) Both SecState Rubio and President Trump are about to throw in the towel on Uke peace, as neither side at present wants it. It's the Israel/Pale thing all over again.

 

ENTERTAINMENT NEWS

 

23) Megyn Kelly discusses her "vax-induced-AIDs" and wishes she never took the vax.

 

24) Oh goodie. There's going to be a Fyre Festival 2, cuz, you know, the first one went soooooo well.

 

IN CHINA VIRUS NEWS

 

25) A new Emory study shows the vax has no impact on CoV-2 or any reduction in death.

 

26) Idaho allows Ivermectin to be sold over the counter.

 

27) Multiple lab leaks---yeah, like real viruses, etc., not some stupid guy talking to a reporter---have come out of the China Virus test labs at the University of North Carolina. Instead of the "Tar Heels," maybe they can change the team names to the "Vaxxes."

 

28) The White House updated the CDC website and linked to a site that states that the China Virus started, well, in Chy'na. Also, unlike the Rutabaga administration, the new commissioner says his job at the FDA is "delivering cures" and healthy foods, not as the Rutabaga administration did, "fighting [so called] disinformation."

 

29) Not good at all. The bad WHO (not to be confused with the good Who) has reached a global pandemic treaty. No thanks. I'm pretty sure President Trump and Bobby Kennedy will tell the bad WHO to stick it in one of the good Who's guitar sockets.

 

 

30) Jeff Childers in his "Coffee and Covid" has an exceptional section on the explosion in a wide variety of cancers----cancers they cannot pin on asbestos or some chemical company's leak. As he writes, "The problem is that, post-pandemic, the potential “polluter” isn’t some marginal chemical company. It’s a federally coordinated pharmaceutical rollout backed by near-universal media support, unconstitutionally mandated by governments, shielded from civil and criminal liability, and glorified by editorials, white-coated pretenders, and blue-checked Twitter threads." (In other words, the vax and the entire DNA-altering drug regimen of the China Virus).

 

AND FINALLY . . .

 

This is good Friday and on Sunday we celebrate the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, Who changed all of human history. If you don't know HIm, why wait? Look at John 3:16 and go from there.
