1) Trump has ordered investigations into more of the "resistance" glumbugglers.
2) Wait, they think this is a win? A WI judge says she won't "hold court" after the arrest of her colleague. Sounds good to me. The fewer iguana-loving poodlesniffers in black robes, the better.
3) A new Rasmussen poll shows that a whopping 71% of Americans believe polls are rigged to produce a partisan result.
4) My Brit counterpart, Niall Ferguson, states that "Donald Trump is Crushing his To-Do List."
5) Foreign funding for universities exploded under the brainless Rutabaga, as he allowed enemies to infiltrate all our educational facilities.
6) Daniel Street reviews some of Team Trump's recent (quiet) court victories.
7) US prosecutor Ed Martin has sent letters to two medical journals upbraiding them for ADMITTED bias in articles.
8) The Peace Corps, which as I detailed in my book, A Patriot's History of the Modern World, vol. II, the Peace Corps was largely staffed by utterly incompetent college kids who did not speak the local language, knew no local customs and had no usable skills. Now DOGE has turned its guns on the organization, which will undergo "significant cuts." Let's hope it goes the way of USAID and is cut out of existence..
9) As "Coffee and Covid" points out, the administration has also nixed the "National Climate Assessment," a useless green/globalwarming grift. As Jeff Childers notes, this is all from ONE DAY's worth of news. The BBC summarized Trump's first 100 days here, and almost certainly has understated the scope of the change.
10) Ruh Roh. The Trump administration just created an Elections Integrity Task Force. Can we PLEASE see arrests?
11) Florida's new AG, James Uthmeier, has created an "Office of Paternal Rights" that will flip the power of the state behind parents instead of teachers, activists, and transoid peckershredders who are destroying families.
12) A real conservative warrior, David Horowitz, died at age 86.
13) Trump's Chief of Staff Susie Wiles gave a rare interview in which she said Trump has earned an "A+" grade on most issues, with a few being "incomplete."
14) Despite supposedly being under R control, the Texas Legislature is passing a ban on memes without "their" disclaimer.
15) The latest DemoKKKrat hero is an Indian-born fungalfritter animal abuser.
IN TRANSOID NEWS
16) Of all places, Mediocre Britain, which was the first to say that a man is a man and a woman isn't, will now test all s0-called transoid kiddos for autism, correctly impllying that they may be mentally sick.
17) Colorado is rapidly becoming the third sickest state in the nation behind Kollyfornia and Illinois with its radical gender ideology bill. Do you think the Arapahoe and Cheyenne would take the state back?
IN ECONOMIC NEWS
18) Tone deaf and culturally spoogistic Nike has run a red billboard at the end of the London marathon with a new slogan "Never Again . . . Until Next Year." What never again, Nike? The Holocaust? October 7? As Jennifer Sey writes, "mocking the death of 8 million Jews kind of crosses over from 'edgy' to really stupid." But this is what you get with woke. Moreover (and even stupider) Nike plans to stick with the slogan.
19) President Trump's tariffs brought in over $115 billion in April, meaning a year long summation would leave the U.S. with an additional $1.3 trillion. And he's just getting started. Trump has also granted tariff relief for automakers who are mostly producing in the U.S.
20) Amazon was going to post the cost of Trump's tariffs on ChiCom goods but after the White House posted a display, backed off. The situation is still in flux though.
21) Kollyfornia has launched a war on oil and is becoming more dependent than ever on Chy-na. I cannot wait for this state to go full Thunderdome and see pols like Newsome and Shifty the Human Lemur thrown into giant cages with Bubba the Bouncing Hillbilly.
22) Layoffs have fallen, hires have risen.
23) The Treasury debt funding is already $2 billion below what was forecast just two months ago.
24) Merck has announced a $1 billion investment in Delaware, creating 500 jobs.
25) The first estimate of post-tariff GDP is a tiny decline of .03, far less than the Atlanta Fed's estimate of -2+ percent. All the doomspoogers are freaking out, but this was a shockingly good number given that the tariffs haven't fully kicked in and that Trump has fired tens of thousands from the gubment trough.
26) The stench of Rutabaga lingers as the home ownership rate has fallen to the lowest in five years.
27) There has been a significant breakthrough in a new hydrogen power cell, that provides up to 200,000 hours of life for minimal power drop off.
IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS
28) Power is restored, for now, in Spain and Portugal (who blame each other for the outage) and gee whiz, no one knows why the blackout happened . . . but everyone expects more. Oh, and this from David Blackmon: it appears that when Spain and Portugal ran out of juice, they snagged a bunch from France, whose grid operator shut it down.
29) Top authorities in the Philippines say Chy-na hired a company to spread fake news. Yeah, that's what commies do.
30) The Canucks had another election, elevating another Liberal coloncreeper to the Prime Ministership, but in the smallest margin in recent history. Even when combined with the goofball Green Party, the Liberals do not have a majority. Camada. as I said in today's substack is NOT like America because they do not have two of the key "Four PIllars of American Exceptionalism."
31) Remember Monday when I posted the article about the ChiCom plastics industry was completely shut down due to a ban on US ethane in response to Trump's tariffs? Chy-na just removed that. Now they are preparing a wide range of goods on which they will remove tariffs. Meanwhile, the ChiComs are deploying an army of NGOs to the UN, which should be removed from American shores. Make them meet in a safe place like . . . the Congo. Of course, Chy-na itself ain't all that safe any more, with new reports of "sudden deaths" increasing. That happened a lot under Mao.
32) Romania's Trump-supporting candidate George Simion, leads in polls ahead of the Romanian election.https://dailycaller.com/2025/04/29/romania-george-simion-donald-trump-presidential-election-europe-ukraine-russia/
33) Me-hee-co announced an agreement to give Texas farmers more water.
34) We have heard this before, but Ukraine is supposedly to sign a minerals deal with the U.S. today.
IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS
35) Terence Howard, star of "Empire" and numerous other shows, is being blacklisted because he doesn't want to do a homosexual kiss: "I would cut my lips off." Earlier he had noted that at the Diddley parties participants were getting "bent over."
36) I am watching Apple's "Your Friends and Neighbors" starring Jon Hamm. It's an engaging show about a hedge fund guy who loses everything---his wife to an affair (hers) with an NBA star, estranged children, his job for an affair (his) with a distant subordinate, and his money. He turns to an astonishingly easy life of theft from his neighbors' almost always empty houses. A-
IN CHINA VIRUS NEWS
37) All the vaxxes were bad but it appears Pfizer was the worst, with a 37% higher risk of death than Moderna. Which is like saying with an asteroid hitting you have a 37% higher risk of death with one coming from Jupiter as from Neptune.
AND FINALLY . . .
38) Researchers can now tweak LSD to have therapeutic effects without the tripping. Course, that was the only reason my bandmates took it. We were traveling across Texas at night---me, two other guys laying horizontal in the van's floor while my now-deceased guitarist George was driving. Suddenly I heard the brakes squeal and we rolled up to the front like tamales. "I saw a damn deer!" he said. We saw nothing. And in Texas, you can see for 100 miles. We went back to sleep, when, a half hour later, another screech, more tamales. "It's another damn deer," George said. We saw nothing. This happened a third time and we were about to remove him when we saw a deer bouncing away. "I got up in that deer's bowels" George said. Only later did we learn he was on acid.
By the way, I assure you, Stanley was NOT on LSD when we took this.
