1) This has the potential to be a massive story. The fact that Tulsi Gabbard at DHS has revealed this, and not the DOJ, is a signal that they do not want this to look like a "gotcha" of political enemies but of what it was, a real national security threat: the "Muh Russia" conspiracy was real and involved multiple individuals in the Obama administration, including scum such as James (Scrotumtoter) Comey, James (The Clap) Clapper, and John (Brennanski) Brennan, not to mention Obama himself. Reports are emerging that this stuff directly implicates both Cankles and Zero. I'll reluctantly think that Zen Master thinks nothing will happen. But lawyer Jeff Childers thinks otherwise, and lists 12 different ways Tulsi Gabbard's roll out of the case was unique and designed specifically to avoid most of the media and legal footdragging that might come from DOJ underlings. Ultimately, this topic requires a heckuva lot more than I can provide in "Today's News," so see my substack for today.
2) Meanwhile Trump has called for the release of all grand jury testimony in the Epstein case. Although this has been beaten to death, Naomi Wolf has a different take on the entire Epstein business, arguing that the "network" is a large collection of scientists, techbros, financiers, ethicists, and others whom Epstein recruited and funded (whether at the direct orders of a spy agency or not. As she puts it: "The Epstein files probably contain many innocent people as well as many guilty ones; but again, they are very likely to contain, innocent and guilty, some of the most powerful of President Trump’s current supporters; and some of the greatest of scientists and some of the most influential technologists of our time." But "muh Epstein" will sink Trump, right? Er, no. Harry Enten was astonished to find that the Epstein files and the Iran bombing had zero effect on Trump's polling, which, among Republicans WENT UP. Told you.
3) The Kollyfornia House is trying to sneak in a mid-decade redistricting to give the DemoKKKrats 5-7 more seats in Congress---because they know they will lose 5-7 when all the census changes, voter registration changes, and deportations come through. However, they are swimming against the tide of voter roll purges. The latest in San Diego took another 345,000 ineligible voters off the rolls. The statewide total---with Orange Co. and New Azteca (LA) not in yet---is over 2 million, maybe 2.4 million of which about 60% are DemoKKKrats.
4) Vox is still full of hopium /copium, saying there is a "three-way battle" for the soul of the DemoKKKrat Party. First, we all know that this terrorist organization has no soul, but the "progressive-establishment-abundance" battle is really not as neat and clean as Vox wants. They fail to recognize that there are now five major civil wars ongoing in the DemoKKKrat Party and none of the factions comes close to delivering what the American public wants because deep down most of them hate America. So when Senator Elissa Slotkin of MI urges the party to dump "wonky" policies and develop more "alpha energy," who are they gonna find? The Prancing Gheyboy Tampon Timmy? The Human Lemur Adam Schiff? The oleaginous goobah Gruesome? For Pete's sake they had the ultimate soyboy, the Betamale, on all the talk shows this weekend. Granted the Amzaing Zohran has youthful jihadist energy, but he's also a Jew-hating Islamic porkcudgel and a socialist. Then you have the aging DinoBernie, a so-called "socialist" who spent $250,000 on private jets to fight the power. But undaunted, the establishment types are developing a "Project 2029," which will be moot when they lose. Clinton-era Serpent Head James Carville says that "Wait, folks, the DemoKKKrats can still win the midterms. Really." Quietly, though, the DemoKKKrats are worried and now admit Trump is a very talented politician. Meanwhile, Will Fletcher argues that the right is giving Gen Z exatly what they want. And GOP fundraising is specifically directed toward other groups than the big donor class, while DemoKKKrats are still living and dying with the deep pockets. This is another way in which the DemoKKKrats are doomed: it's hard to get grass roots money when ya ain't got grass roots support.
5) For all the Panicans who said Trump was finished if the Epstein files weren't released and/or because of the Iran bombing . . . er, no. He is at 50% in Rasmussen's poll and up 2 more today, according to Rasmussen's Mark Mitchell. And Mitchell was one of the biggest Panicans. Heck, even Newsweak used AI and still came up with "Trump is the Most Successful President since FDR." Yeah, but he did it without one-tenth of FDR's congressional support and in the face of pure treason.
6) RFK, Jr., fired two more top aides at HHS, and Pam Bondi fired James (Scrotumtoter) Comey's daughter. Good. Six months too late, but good.
7) The radical whoop-pickle running for New Kabul (NYC)'s mayorship, the Amazing Zohran, says he wants to "globalize the intifada."
8) Six months later radical Kollyfornia DemoKKKrats have done NOTHING to rebuild from the New Azteca (LA) fires. That's because they do not want to rebuilt HOUSES there. They want multi-story ghetto dwellings.
9) Pew says the approval of the DemoKKKrat Party has fallen yet again, now down to 19%. I'm tellin' ya, barring a major skin-change out of the lizardpeople persona, DemoKKKRats are on a path to extinction.
10) The Pentagon canceled a contract in which the ChiComs were giving us cloud computer support.
11) EXXON is now partnering with oil rich Guyana.
12) Most Americans don't see presidents affecting their personal lives much.
13) Rutabaga's ridiculous fraud administration spent one million on swimming pool upgrades in war torn countries. Cuz, you know, when bombs are falling you immediately think "high dive."
14) About time: Trump signals he may designate the funders and organizers of violent ICE protests as terrorists.
15) The Trump administration issued guidance for all federal agencies that encourage robust religious accommodations.
16) A male runner has sued Princeton for excluding him from a women's race. The lazy Supes, who try to dodge actually ruling on this issue at every turn, are ultimately going to be forced to rule on what constitutes a woman.
18) This may not work so well. Delta Airlines is moving toward abandoning set prices and pricing based on what the AI determines you can afford.
19) Trump and RFK, Jr., got Coca Cola to go back to using cane sugar in Coke. Oh, and Trump ended all federal funding for Kollyfornia's high speed rail to nowhere.
20) Kristi Noem hinted that Homeland Security may next roll back liquid restrictions on flights.
21) Venture capitalist Marc Andreasson warned that universities had "declared war on 70% of the country and now they're going to pay the price." Good. Let's hope it's a very, very steep one.
22) Mark Zuckerberg and other Facebook officials face an $8 billion trial over Facebook privacy issues. Translation: "We were selling the private info of people because that's how we have a business model that works."
23) The BBB's elimination of solar and wind subsidies is already changing American energy producers' strategies. Meanwhile the northeastern green obsessed states have the highest energy costs in the nation. By the way, David Blackmon's column is beautiful, revealing how MurCowSki thought she had put in "language" in the BBB that would protect the subsidies, only to see Trump make an end run and issue an Ex O that required "strict adherence" to the wording of the bill and shut down all the nebulous loopholes MurCowSki hoped to take advantage of.
24) Import price inflation fell into the negative---i.e., tariffs are working.
25) Where are Americans spending their money? Vehicles is #1, ecommerce is #2, restaurants is #3. (My family growing up wouldn't spend as much at restaurants in a year as Mrs LS and I do in a month). What AREN'T people spending on? Gas, construction materials, and clothing stores.
26) The DOJ has now urged the dropping of Maryland climate change lawsuits against big oil. And speaking of Maryland, the state is using a little known Obamacare clause to turn itself into the tourist abortion capital of the U.S.
27) Good. The U.S. has threatened to withdraw from the International Energy Association over its politicized energy forecasts.
28) Venezuela freed 10 U.S. citizens in return for deported nationals.
29) Afghans who helped the U.S. during the war fled to UAE and now are being threatened with deportation. Can Trump save them?
30) A senior U.S. businessman has been banned from leaving Chy-na. Cuz, they are such an open society . . . .
31) The U.S. rejected a WHO (the bad WHO, not the good Who) treaty as giving that organization too much power.
32) The U.S. has revoked VISAs of a Brazilian Supreme Court justice and his allies who have illegally targeted Trump-like former President Jair Bolsonaro.
33) Anxiety at CBS as the new owner plans to install a pro-Israeli "spiritual adviser."
34) Legendary singer Connie Francis, dead at age 87. Now she's where the boys are.
35) Haven't seen a story like this since Don Felder/Glen Frey of the Eagles, but they didn't actually throw fists onstage: Members of Jane's Addiction (no, I don't think I have any of their tunes) had to cancel their tour and sue each other over an on-stage fight.
36) Stephen Colbert, whom the network thought might be the next Johnny Carson, wasn't even Merv Griffen. He was fired from the Late Show, really, for not being funny. As John Nolte explains, he only had himself to blame. But all anyone has to do is to watch the raging, anal-fisted, estrogen-laced "talk shows" at night to see how incredibly pathetic and lame they are compared to Johnny Carson's "Tonight Show." Carson, for all the problems in his personal life, knew perfectly how to set up guests, when to let them run, when to feed them a line, and when to make a snappy quip about a woman's breast size. But did you know the "Late Show" operated on a loss of $40 million a year, what with Colbert's staff of 200? Conservatives rushed to note that Greg Guttfeld "only" has a staff of 10, yet the Great Rush Limgaugh delivered a far better product on a daily basis with really a research staff of one or two. That's cuz he did his own research. But thanks to the Colbert collapse, now Jon ("Stuccopucker") Stewart fears his "Daily Show" is next.
37) This is what happens when experts lose the public's trust: only 40% of young parents plan to fully vaccinate their kids.
38) Twenty years of progress vs. heart disease and recovery were wiped out by the mRNA vaxxes.
39) Well, this sucks. Literally. A man with a chain necklace who entered without screening into an MRI machine area was sucked into the machine and killed.
40) Gotta love the Babylon Bee: ten better shows to replace Colbert, including "Larry the Dying Leper" and "Kidney Stone Watch."
