A second glance, a missing whisper, and a crown that doesn’t sit quite right—history taps on the window.
IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) The Saudis gave President Trump a fighter jet escort all the way into the country. He made a speech for the ages, reminiscent of his first inaugural, saying that intervention and global chowdernuggets had not done anything for the region, but that Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and others had built all the stuff themselves. Trump tore into nation-builders and do-gooders. It was a complete reset of WORLD policy, not just Middle East policy. And no fist bumps---which was a sign of disrespect to Rutabaga. In the meantime, Trump lifted sanctions on Syria. 2) Goooooood. James Carville, like the guys at "Liberal Patriot," still don't get it. Serpenthead thinks DemoKKKrats have to change the way they talk---NOT WHAT THEY TALK ABOUT---and Liberal Patriot is back on the "better manage cities" solution for DemoKKKrats. Meanwhile, the war is on over whether to blame Rutabaga or Cackles for Trump kicking their asses in 2024. Jake (Fakey) Tapper wants to pretend that the reality of Rutabaga's dementia was hidden from him. Others say trying to blame the Demented Pervert is a cop out. Blame Cackles instead. Never their idiotic and demonic policies, though! And this DemoKKKrat whines that "nobody fears us." Actually, there chuddlebucket, EVERYBODY fears you. That's why you guys can't get elected. Pollster Mark Pen said the DemoKKkrats are a "defeated party in the wilderness." Well, let's hope it's the Kalahari, and there's no water. And quietly the House stomped on the Trump impeachment push. Karens hardest hit. 3) The glacially-moving House Ways & Means committee advanced the (mostly) Trump "big beautiful tax bill." 4) Speaking of brain dead, do you remember when Fetterman Massacre, the Human Ox really WAS "brain dead" after his stroke---but the DemoKKKrats said he was sharp as a tack. Just fine. Til now . . . now they are putting out stories through Mark Halperin that he is not mentally fit. 5) Good. Tulsi Gabbard fired Mike Collins, Trump hater. 6) President Trump is at 52% approval in NV. 7) Lawyer Jeff Childers argues that the indictment of the WI illegal-harboring judge is a big deal: 1) DOJ didn't back down; 2) The case was not for personal embezzlement or corruption but for the more public crime of harboring an illegal criminal alien. 8) No wonder DemoKKKrats are freaking out about Trump's pharma order. Look at how much they are getting from Big Pharma. 9) The Poofter, David Plouffe, Zero's advisor, continues to blame Rutabaga for not dropping out sooner. Nope. Cackles had no chance. Neither did Rutabaga. But this is like Custer going, "Dang. If I'd only had 10 more men . . ." Speaking of Custer, Lil' Hitler (David Hogg) has lost his spot at the DNC because a panel "decided" his victory violated gender diversity rules. Now watch this: this will be the ace-in-the-hole they play anytime they need to remove anyone---man, woman, straight, spoogie . . . Now word comes that aides were prepared to put Rutabaga in a wheelchair if he was elected. 10) A Utah oil tycoon and his wife were arrested in a giant fraud scheme involving Mexican cartels. 11) Shipwreckedcrew reviews Trump's significant decriminalization of regulatory offenses, pointing out how it allows a dozen different agencies to allow agents to carry weapons. 12) A Democrat flipped the Omaha mayor's race from a Republican. 13) Ah, the family that slays together gets parole together, as a judge resentences the Murderous Menendez Brothers so they can have parole. 14) Pigs are flying, as DemoKKKrat Ro Khanna introduced legislation to codify Trump's "most favored nation" status for the US on drugs. IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS 15) A federal judge just ruled that Trump is correct to use the Alien/Enemies Act to boot out the Tren de Arugala gangbangers. WINNING. 16) DHS director Kristi Noem doing what AG Pam Bondi won't? She says the congresscritters who violdated the ICE facility WILL face criminal charges. 17) A federal grand jury indicted WI judge Hannah Dugan for assisting an illegal invader in evading customs. This should just be #1 of thousands. 18) Gruesome Newsom is clearly preparing to run for president as he is now walking back this proposal to give illegal criminal aliens free healthcare. He also told local communities to clean out the homeless encampments. IN CULTURAL NEWS 19) Good. The Trump administration has canceled another $450 million in Harvard grants. Cancel them all. IN TRANSOID NEWS 20) Yet another example of a boy pretending to be a girl winning girls' track and field has occurred in Kollylfornia. Let's get real. There is something perversely sick about these people BEYOND wanting to cut off their genitals. The need to dominate women is predatory but of a different nature than rape. IN ECONOMIC NEWS 21) EV subsidies to be wiped out in House reconciliation bill. 22) CEO of United Healthcare is stepping down after ordering more AI to check patient claims & deny insurance. 23) Kraft-Heinz is investing $3 billion in 'Merica. Yeah, sounds like a vote of no confidence to me.24) And we knew this. The Labor Department said that Rutabaga's teams cooked the books, and that hundreds of thousands of jobs were fake. 25) Qatar isn't just giving the USA a plane, it's BUYING 160 new Boeings! 26) Inflation came in at 2.3%, or . . . wait for it . . . "lower than expected." Who the hell is it that is always doing the 'specting?" Meanwhile, the U.S. Treasury was shocked by the second largest surplus in history. Wait, I thought Trump was going to kill the economy. Trump tariffs, says Politico, have had no impact on prices. Gee, imagine that. Who could have foreseen that? 27) McDonald's is planning on hiring 375,000 this summer. 28) Winning! The number of homes for sale in the D.C. area rose by 25%. A ways to go, but right direction. 29) The Trump economy "defies 'gloom and doom' predictions." Course, some people (such as myself) never, ever predicted "doom and gloom." 30) In fact, there is some gloom and doom in EV-land, as sales of Tesla's cybertrucks have collapsed, and as Vermont has halted its EV requirements as "not realistic." IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS 31) Here is how the Euro "Green" fungalnuggets are going to explain away the Spain/Portual blackout: it was the fault of smaller power generators' "cybersecurity." Now, understand "cybersecurity" would add another trillion dollars to the already bloated "green transition" as no one has even talked about this yet. 32) It's like Mediocre Britain just woke up. They introduced increased English proficiency standards in a sweeping immigration overhaul. Good luck, MB. I think it's too late. 33) Trinidad and Tobago have moved to make firearms legally accessible to all law-abiding citizens. 34) Five suspected Tren de Arugala members were shot in a bar in Me-hee-co. IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS 35) Ironic, no, that Disney is creating a new theme park in Abu Dhabi, where homosexuals face a minimum of 6 months in prison? It really elevates the "don't ask, don't tell" bar. 36) John Edwards, lead singer of the great soul group, "The Spinners," died at age 80. Fantastic group. Saw them on the pier at Tom Sawyer Island at Disneyland in the 1970s. Great songs: "Workin' my Way back to You, Babe," "Rubber Band Man," "I'll be Around," "Then Came You," and "Could it Be I'm Falling in Love?' 37) Under a new ruling, Pete Rose may become eligible for the Hall of Fame . . . after he dies.38) Among other things, ex-P. Diddley girlfriend Cassie Ventura said that Combs had her perform sex sessions that lasted four days and apply 10 large bottles of baby oil a session so he could maintain that "glistening" look. IN CHINA VIRUS NEWS 39) A new study in Human Vaccines and Immunotherapeutics shows the spike protein remains in the human system over 240 days after the vax. AND FINALLY . . . 40) I'm going to have to see this. Critical Drinker gives "Andor" the highest praise. Season one was great.
