Today's News, February 7-9, 2026

IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) An excellent pro-ICE ad ran during the Game-Which-Shall-Not-Be-Named. Meanwhile, the Turning Point USA halftime show racked up 25 million viewers. Oh, yeah, I think a team from Seattle won, but I didn't watch. Still in the last season of "Suits." 2) Elon Musk offered to cover the legal costs of any Epstein victims who came forward to "speak truth." DemoKKKrats reportedly seen at local Kroger Depenz aisles. Then there are the five stages of political spoogieness, as the New York Slimes insisted for years there was no blackmail going on over at Epstein Island Island when, gee, now it says, "Hold muh beer." 3) Trump says to DemoKKKrat Terror Party governors, "You want resist? I got resist for ya right here" as he did NOT invite them to the National Governor's Association dinner nor the subsequent White House working group. Why should he? So they can return to their pig sty swillwhistle funding troughs and begin counter preparations? 4) DemoKKKrats won another special election, this time in LA, in a district Trump carried by 13. That puts the last 8 specials at 50/50. 5) GA is turning into a rotten peach, as newly disclosed docs show that Gov. Brian Kemp told the FBI Bureau Chief not to investigate the 2020 fraud. These people do not understand that if this trickle of sleaze becomes a waterfall, Americans will shuck aside their history and character and demand these bowel-wrappers go to jail. 6) TX has sued a giant fiberglass manufacturer Global Fiberglass Solutions for dumping over 3,000 wind turbine blades at Sweetwater, TX. 7) Cackles had a rebrand attempt that failed so badly even CNN called it "cringe." 8) Florida's teacher's union was trying to hide its class syllabi and lessons. They just lost in court. 9) The House Intel chairman warns that there may be a pattern with the ChiCom biolabs that the FBI has been busting, and that they could be setting the stage for a new pandemic. 10) Pete "The Punisher" Hegseth announced that the Department of War will cut all ties to Harvard. Ouch. Put some ICE on that. 11) The Fourth Circuit Court just cleared the way for Trump to exterminate DEI. 12) How Tik Tok's algorithms radicalized soft-brained liberal women. 13) The Small Business Administration just suspended over 111,000 CA borrowers suspected of fraud and will pursue criminal charges against them. Once they got the money, however, the government will be lucky to get back pennies on the dollar. 14) A large number of military transport planes are heading for the Middle East. A few days ago, a Pizza Tsunami was reported at the Pentagon. Something brewing? 15) A federal judge ordered all Fulton Co., GA, voter docs unsealed by tomorrow. Dems suicidal. IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS 16) About time. The Administration will not comply with a court order to provide due process to illegal Venezuelans shipped back to El Salvador. Pound sand, judicial jigglepickets. IN CULTURAL NEWS 17) This is moving a little faster than even I expected. Now there is a site where AI hires humans to do physical-world tasks. What does AI do when there's a strike? Call in robodogs? 18) Anyone remember Dr. House? His famous line was "Everybody lies." Apparently, Ryan Burge thinks so too. He examines who actually voted vs. who said they voted. Big difference, and it tracks along with those who said they went to church last week. Of those answering a survey, 97% said they voted in the last election, but only 59% actually did so according to the Cooperative Election Study. 19) This is an interesting development. How do you get rid of "women's studies" and "sociology" departments? You tie student loan access to earnings after you graduate. Oh, and speaking of eddication, TX has set a record for the most students applying for the state's new school choice programs. Teacher's Unions are probably double-ordering razor blades. IN TRANSOID NEWS 20) The Human Rights Campaign, otherwise known as the "Queer Lobby," saw a 65% drop in corporate DEI support. Good start, but should be 100%. IN ECONOMIC NEWS 21) Washington Compost CEO and publisher Will Lewis has resigned. Boo hoo. The Compost died in its own darkness. 22) VT's EV bus fleet doesn't work in the cold, which, gee, is about 60% of VT's year. Meanwhile, Jeep EV maker Stellantis lost a $26 billion bet on higher EV demand. 23) On Friday, Feb. 6, after I had already posted Today's News, the DOW hit 50,000 for the first time ever. 24) Irena Slav is not a tech expert, nor does she pretend to be. But she does a great job of tracking the stratospheric investments here by Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, and others (closing on $1 trillion) when so far AI has yet to make a profit on anything or to prove that it's substantially better than what we have. There is a law out there (Peter Thiel's Law) that says that a new tech must be ten times better than the old to effect a replacement. AI is nowhere close to that, yet its denizens are now claiming it will ...
