Today's News, January 24-27, 2025 27.01.2025

IN POLITICAL NEWS   1) Probably the most interesting story of the weekend was Columbia's President rejecting a planeload of illegal invaders . Then Trump threatened massive tariffs and a trade war. Bingo! Gustavo Petro suddenly offered his presidential plane to help with the deportations. All in less than 10 hours. Trump's new deportation policy isn't MAGA. It's FAFO! X poster Cynical Publius note...

Today's News, January 22-24, 2025 25.01.2025

IN POLITICAL NEWS   1) Awesome: President Trump put out a memo putting ALL federal DEI employees on leave. This is the way. He also announced a $400 billion investment in AI. I know, I know, idiot Larry Ellison later claimed he would use mRNA vaxxes with AI (somehow) to stop cancer, but no one is going to take those shots. Meanwhile EVERYONE whether they know it or not is using AI and this is a ma...

Today's News, January 18-21, 2025 21.01.2025

IN POLITICAL NEWS   1) Obviously the biggest news has been President Trump's inauguration yesterday , which took place in the Capitol Rotunda. In his inaugural speech, he referenced a slew of Executive Orders, instantly undoing everything Rutabaga did and declaring a national emergency at the border and unleashing America's energy giant. He also said that it is the "official policy of the United S...

Today's News, January 14-17, 2025 17.01.2025

IN POLITICAL NEWS   1) President Trump's inaugural schedule has been released, and yes, on January 20, there is time scheduled to sign a ton of executive orders. Rutabaga will be a dim memory before midnight, and we don't even have dementia.   2) Rutabaga, on his way out, and thinking he was Ike, warned of a "tech-industrial complex" four years after said complex installed him illegally as preside...

Today's News, January 9-10, 2025 11.01.2025

IN POLITICAL NEWS   I 1) In the most important news of the day, President Trump and Stephen Miller reviewed over 100 executive orders including numerous border control plans.   2) The funeral of Jimmy Carter saw Barack Obama and President Trump chatting it up and joking while Cackles looks straight ahead, deadpan. Traitor Tuppence offered Trump a limp handshake, but his wife refused to stand. And...

Today's News, January 7-8,2025 08.01.2025

IN POLITICAL NEWS   1) An angry Rutabaga crabbed at reporters on the way out the door : "I know more world leaders than any one of you [reporters] have ever met in your whole G . . .damned life." And that's relevant how, Rutabaga? Ya evil Demented Pervert.   2) President Trump promised to "un-ban" the offshore drilling areas that Rutabaga banned . The law is unclear, and hasn't been tested. It wil...

Today's News, January 3-5, 2025 06.01.2025

IN POLITICAL NEWS   1) The spooge-o-matic masquerading as a judge in New York, Juan Merchan, will do his little sentencing dance on January 10 , suggesting he may go with a sentence of "unconditional discharge," in which theoretically the sentence could be brought back in four years---but also which opens the entire case up for appeal. Here is a longer assessment of this weak move.   2) Cackles ha...

TODAY'S NEWS, December 25-30, 2024, Back From the Dead Edition 30.12.2024

IN POLITICAL NEWS   1) Probably the biggest political news of the week involved a pseudo-spat between the anti=H1B visa cadre in Team Trump (J.D. Vance most notably) and the pro-H1B faction led by Musk and Ramaswamy. Before anyone could get too worked up, Musk softened his stance and said the H1B program needed serious reform. My guess is that it will be greatly curtailed, with only a fraction of...

TODAY'S NEWS, December 21-23, 2024 MERRY CHRISTMAS! 23.12.2024

IN POLITICAL NEWS   1) Here is a great interview with Trump's campaign manager, Chris LaCivita and his pollster, Tony Fabrizio.   2) Good grief. A "missing" GOP congresswoman was finally located in a dementia home. Enough with these freakin' zombies. If you aren't of sound mind---even if it's John Fetterman Massacre with his temporary malady that left him brainless for a while---you need to be OUT...

Today's News, December 19-20, 2024 20.12.2024

IN POLITICAL NEWS   1) Trump, Musk, Ramaswamy rally conservative House members to kill the pork-laden (and bad law-laden) House bill. Good. The Johnsonites and the DemoKKKrats failed in their attempt to shield Liz "Clusterbomb" Cheney from prosecution. Salon is very concerned. By the way, the defunct bill had $8 billion to rebuild the Francis Scott Key Bridge . Wait. That was destroyed by private...

Today's News, December 13-16, 2024 17.12.2024

IN POLITICAL NEWS   1) President Trump attended the Army-Navy game with Daniel Penny, J.D. Vance, Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard, Mike Johnson, and Ron DeSantis. When the National Anthem was played, PRESIDENT Trump saluted. Cuz he has always been president, like David, who was anointed to be king even when Saul still sat on the throne without the anointing.   2) There is growing concern about large n...

TODAY'S NEWS, December 11-13, 2024 14.12.2024

IN POLITICAL NEWS   1) In truly wonderful news, Smarmy Christopher Wray, the head of the FascistBI, will resign with the end of the Rutabaga administration , paving the way for Kash Patel. As Led Zeppelin sang, "A change is gonna come." Oh, and the FascistBI front group "Patriot Front" disbanded. Gee, why? Maybe cause with Trump, all the FBI interns are out of work? Oh, and speaking of the Fascist...

Today's News, December 7-10 10.12.2024

IN POLICAL NEWS   1) President Trump said he will issue blanket J6 (Patriot Day) pardons on inauguration day and says the Congressional J6 committee should be in prison. Absolutely agree. And Trump has named his lawyer, Alina Habba, as counselor to the President. 2) He sent a message to Libs that has them truly rattled: "I love you" and urged them to join MAGA.   3) So recounts and extended counti...

Today's News, December 5-6, 2024 06.12.2024

IN POLITICAL NEWS   1) President Trump's SecDef nominee, Pete Hegseth, says as long as Trump backs him, he won't withdraw. I am beginning to think Hegseth is "Lee" at Chancellorsville, fixing the Union Army's attention on him while Stonewall Jackson marches around the flank. In this case, Jackson is Tulsi, RFK, and Kash. Suddenly no attention at all is focused on them, suggesting they may coast th...

Today's News, December 4, 2024 04.12.2024

IN POLITICAL NEWS   1) Leftoids and the old, fraudulent "conservative" neocons are all in disarray over the Crackhead pardon. Of course, the useless "Bul-shit" ( Bulwark ) is for it. The reaction of the scabular right, including Bul-shit, NRO, Erickson, Cook, and all the rest of the pretzel-lickers, promps me to engage in a short review of who these people are. I can hate but respect DemoKKKrats b...

Today's News, November 30-December 2, 2024 03.12.2024

IN POLITICAL NEWS   1) President Trump has assembled a cabinet of stone-cold Swamp killers, with his final "big name" pick, Kash Patel, for FBI director. Here is a great chart of every Trump pick: Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy in DOGE, Tulsi Gabbard as DNI, Pete Hegseth at Defense, Patel at FBI, RFK, Jr. at HHS, Burgum in Interior, Wright at Engergy (an absolutely great pick), Bhattacharya at NIH,...

TODAY'S NEWS, November 26-29, 2024 (Happy Thanksgiving!!) 30.11.2024

IN POLITICAL NEWS   1) The post-mortems and deep denial of the left following the incredible re-election of Donald Trump is something to behold. For the most part, the rectally-engaged leftoid grease-inhalers are still blaming the Supes that Trump didn't go to jail. Gee spoogetoids, maybe if you'd actually had a case . . . . So here is the Slate whine that it wasn't poor Count Dooku (Jack Smith's)...

Today's News, November 22-24, 2024 25.11.2024

IN POLITICAL NEWS   1) The "mandate/no mandate" horsepoop is even admitted by NPR: most of the country shifted right , and blacks, the youts, and Latinos moved toward Trump.   2) Polling sucked again, and surprise, surprise! The errors were all in the same direction, favoring Rutabaga and Cackles   3) President Trump is hitting the ground running in his effort to dismantle the administrative Deep...

TODAY'S NEWS, November 20-22, 2024 23.11.2024

IN POLITICAL NEWS   1) DemoKKKrats have successfully forced Matt Gaetz to withdraw from AG consideration. Gaetz cited his nomination becoming a "distraction" to the Trump team. Trump nominated former FL AG Pam Biondi as AG. Not thrilled about this pick. She has been ok at some low level stuff, but there is no indication she will be the Vlad the Impaler that this administration is going to need. An...

TODAY'S NEWS, November 16-19, 2024 20.11.2024

The News of Today is the History of Tomorrow   IN POLITICAL NEWS   1) President Trump stole the show at Madison Square Garden's UFC match, entering with an entourage that included RFK, Jr., Elon Musk, Mike Johnson, Don, Jr., and Tulsi Gabbard.   2) Looks like someone had a little talkie with Senator John "Can't Carry a" Thune, as he says all options are on the table to confirm President Trump's ap...

TODAY'S NEWS, Weekend Edition, November 13-15, 2024 16.11.2024

IN POLITICAL NEWS   1) After successfully negotiating Jay's Treaty, which sent Francophile Jeffesonians into a tizzy, John Jay said he could ride across the country by the light of his own burning effigies. My friends, we may well be able to travel up and down the East Coast by the light of liberal heads exploding into incandescent spooge after President Trump imitated Jay and named his latest rou...

TODAY'S NEWS, NOVEMBER 11-12, 2024 14.11.2024

IN POLITICAL NEWS   1) And so it begins . . . A DemoKKKrat who sits on the DNC finance committee unleashed a tirade against the $1 billion "disaster" of Cackles campaign. Cackles spent an average of $6 million a day. Trump's campaign? About $100,000. Well, I've been sayin' it and sayin' it. Ain't I been sayin' it? (Cue Russell Case played by Randy Quaid in "Independence Day"): The DemoKKK have maj...
