    IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) In one of the biggest hidden stories of the year, Kollyfornia, after its massive voter roll purges, continues to slowly move rightward, as last month the GOP gained a net of 23,000. Kollyfornia therefore is looking like every other state in voter registration changes. But wait! Overall it's even more shocking, as so far Kollyfornia has removed over 2.1 million ineligible voters. (read, "DemoKKKrats"). Seth Keshel then noted that the DemoKKKrats have 12 states under control each by a single county. I don't care how big the cities or counties are, that's a vulnerability right there. Oh, and in further indication of the Great DemoKKKrat Crack-Up, the guys at Liberal Patriot found that nearly 60% of blue collar voters want more gas and oil. Imagine that. Now, Seth Keshel notes that VA may still be a tough nut. The Trump layoffs were on holed while the judge was overruled. If gubment unemployment can push up to 200,000 out of the DC/VA region by 2028, Rs have a chance. They'd only need to pull over about another 100,000. 2) Shipwreckedcrew argues that the oral arguments in the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals case indicated that the case will go back to the original court with likelihood that President Trump will be given wide latitude in defining the Alien Enemies. 3) In the great Epstein Influencer War of 2025, Axios reported that Pam Bondi and Dan Bongino had a heated argument over the Epstein files, and that Bongino issued a "Her or me" kind of ultimatum. First, it's Axios. Everyone corroborating this story likely is calling . . . Axios for corroboration. Second, it's good to be able to have hot discussions with subordinates. You do not want yes men in the organization. Third, Bongino is two levels down from Bondi and in a "her or him" struggle, he will be gone. But Trump stepped in, talked with Dan, said Bongino is just fine, and I expect the kids to make up and get back to work this week. Meanwhile, I argued last week that there were a burst of big human trafficking busts since February, and that these were coming from witness testimony in the Epstein files. Trump did not confirm this, but he did confirm they had so far freed 10,000 children from pedos and traffickers. But, like Freddy, the story just clings on. Now Wired magazine says the DOJ video was edited, and badly. 4) Now, here is an angle I hadn't considered, the Tar Baby angle, where Trump/Bondi say "No, we're done with the Epstein files. Not going to release anything else," and DemoKKKrats squeal "YOU MUSSSSST." Then Trump/Bondi go, "Aw shucks. OK." A DemoKKKrat has introduced a bill to make the DOJ release everything. Gooooooood. 5) Tucker Carlson (i.e., "The Tuckster") thinks Israel funded Epstein. In recent weeks the Tuckster has gotten further and further out. Pretty soon he'll be picking the Dallas Cowboys to win the Super Bowl. 6) The U.S. is launching a "moonshot" level effort to get to minerals at the bottom of the sea before Chy-na does. Could cost $20 trillion. Daniel Yergin, dean of energy writing, says that copper is the biggest problem facing AI, not power.7) Bondi-haters will just say this was an effort to quench the Epstein fire, but I think it was long in planning: the DOJ has fired 20 employees involved in the Jack Smith witch hunts. There are up to 35 total who may go. 8) The Pentagon has made bold moves to secure U.S. mineral independence by securing a deal with MP Minerals. And a rare earth mine has opened in Wyoming. 9) The Secret Service suspended six agents for "operational failure" in the near-assassination of President Trump last year. Fine and dandy, but they . . . knew about the planned attempt a month in advance?? The Senate report stated that a "cascade of failures" accompanied that nearly-fatal failure. None fired there yet. 10) Now the Washington ComPost wants an "unflinching" look into Rutabaga's mental health? What, video of him stumbling, bumbling, slurring and careening from whispers to screaming didn't tell you something? Except Rutabaga's doctor is pleading the Fifth. But if he is immunized, as lawyer Jeff Childers notes, he must then testify truthfully and fully or he could THEN be facing legal consequences. Meanwhile, the New York Slimes reports that, gee, Rutabaga did NOT individually approve each name given a pardon. The autopen did. Well, more specifically, Rutabaga only personally signed Hunters pardon, but Chief of Staff Jeff Zeints signed most of the others. 11) After going through the other stages of grief on the tariffs, the New York Slimes finally arrived at acceptance. "Bluff and Bluster Aside, Trump's Tariffs are Here to Stay." 12) A crazed Islamist killed two women and wounded three others at a VA Baptist Church. IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS 13) Another moron, er, judge ordered Trump to stop immigration arrests without "probable cause" in seven Kollyfornia counties. Fine. Invent probable cause and make the judge review each friggin' case. 14) Kristi Noem ...

    IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) Showing once again that she not only is the stupidest female on the Supreme Court, but the stupidest member ever, Jumpin' Jackson Brown was the lone dissent in a ruling that cleared the way for President Trump to resume mass firings in the federal government. It was so obvious that even the "wise Latina" had to vote with the conservatives and Kagan, who increasingly has been a vote-switcher. 2) In what is apparently the only thing the MAGA blogosphere is concerned about, AG Pam Bondi clarified her earlier comment this year that the Epstein "client list" was "sitting on her desk." She also (possibly rightly) denied any knowledge of whether ol' Eppie was a foreign agent. This won't go away, on the one hand, and on the other, Trump appears fed up with the attention this is getting and appears to be fully supportive of Bondi. He should be. Her DOJ has won every single case that has reached a final resolution brought against the administration. That, combined with the mass trafficking arrests so far that I personally (just my opinion) think are directly the result of Epstein leads, make her an excellent AG in my book. MAGA wants symbolic heads on platters. Trump and Bondi, it appears, are far more interested in real, daily indictments of criminals currently among us. Meanwhile, Elon Musk led the right-wing meltdown. Nevertheless, online sleuths noticed that there was a full minute of footage missing in the jail cell video. 3) Douglas Mackey, better known as "Ricky Vaughn" on Twitter, was arrested and jailed for a meme in which he urged people to vote on the wrong day. The Second Circuit Court threw out his conviction for lack of evidence, and remanded it to the district court with orders to dismiss. Douglas should get major restitution from the U.S. government for his heinous act. 4) The TSA is eliminating the requirement that passengers have to remove their shoes before boarding an airplane. Now, can we remove the TSA and restore in-flight meals? 5) Here are six very positive trends for the USA. 6) President Trump extended the federal hiring freeze until October. I'm guessing he'll extend it every few months from here on until 2028. 7) Pretty soon this will need its own header, as the DemoKKKrat search for answers continues. Now El Pollo Gallego and others are saying they screwed up on the border, that DemoKKKrats looked "feckless" and "indecisive." No, you looked treasonous and anti-American. Have they really learned anything? Nope. Hakeem ("Movin' on Up") Jeffries won't rule out defunding ICE if DemoKKKrats win in 2026. 8) Not good. Citing delays in materials, the U.S. Navy has pushed back delivery of the newest aircraft carrier, the U.S.S. John F. Kennedy. Retirement of the Nimitz soon means the U.S. will only have 10 operational carriers. 9) In a suburb of Benghazi-by-the-Lake, some 200 denizens of the inner city graced a local pool, blasted past the pool manager, who was pushed into a pool, and had a ghetto time. Pool passes were issued the next day to residents who did not appreciate the diversity training. Dang Amish. 10) Failed and fired State Department gutter-punchers are using their regime change skills to try to stop Trump. 11) A new book with "internal" sources claims that many (not all) of Rutabaga's staff pressed for a SPRING 2024 debate because Rutabaga was---interpreting here---fading too fast and that would be his best chance to beat Trump. 12) Love this. President Trump said wind and solar are a "blight" on our country. Precisely. They are ugly, kill wildlife, impossible to maintain, and deliver only tiny bits of energy if everything is just right. 13) Elon Musk is still on his nutball third party rampage, but his CEO at X had enough. Linda Yaccarino resigned. And she's not the only one. Also quitting are Uday Ruddarraju, the Head of Infrastructure Engineering at xA and David Lau, the Vice President of Software Engineering at Tesla. By the way, in his latest rant Elon claimed Steve Bannon was on the Epstein client list. 14) 15) A new IRS ruling reinterprets the older ruling preventing churches from endorsing candidates by saying they can do so to their own congregations, which is a completely gelatinous interpretation, as many churches no longer keep regular member rolls. More important, as Jeff Childers points out, this will have the impact of forcing candidates to change their entire approach.. How big is this? Childers says it begins a "structural rebalancing of political influence, moving influence away from elite institutions, tech platforms, and campaign consultants, and toward local, trusted authority figures, many of whom already have weekly access to hundreds or thousands of voters." Now, it's worth noting that DemoKKKrats have done this forever with the so-called "black church." But now the white churches are getting in on the action. 15) Seth Keshel, who nailed the 2024 presidential race even down to the county level, predicts J.D. Vance ...

    IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) The New York Slimes has now shifted its caterwauling about the cuts in the BBB and now is directing its opposition to the fact that for once in a very long time, the states will have to pay their own way. Whiney Hobbit, the gov of Arizona, having just sunk two balanced-budget bills from the statehouse, says "gee, now we won't have enough money." Boo hoo. Cut, baby, cut. As I said months ago, Trump is absolutely taking the New Deal and Great Society apart, brick by brick. As Jeff Childers noted the BBB "doesn’t just reform the welfare state; it deconstructs it. It’s the first major paradigm shift since LBJ. And it’s political genius, because the states must now shoulder the blame for cuts." We'll see how many DEI or homosexual programs states want to fund if citizens can't get their expected goodies. According to the Slimes, that amounts to $1 trillion. Get it? Previously the U.S. gubment was adding $1 trillion every 10 years to our debt that was actually the responsibility of the states. And Dem governors are SQUEALING. Oh, and food stamp recipients need to work. 2) It appears that Hakeem ("Movin' on Up") Jeffries' marathon speech against the BBB only caused a few Republicans to actually switch and support the bill. DemoKKKrats were irate with Movin. This story claims Trump has maneuvered the DemoKKKrats into supporting the Amazing Zohran in New Kabul (NYC) and thus has ensured a GOP landslide in 2026. I'm more cautious. Rs hold the House, and gain a modest 5-10. 3) File under, "Why are Republicans acting like DemoKKKrats?" Our pals at the Slimes again blared: "They savaged their party's bill. Then they voted for it." Boo hoo. For once, the Rs held together as a group, save St. Thomas of Spoogeville and Fitzpatrick of PA, who is a Uke warwhore. 4) Elon Musk started a new political party which, apparently has two members---Andrew "Yangtze" Yang and Mark "Castro" Cuban, along with an Indian treasurer and custodian. Perfect. Here, Seth Keshel explains (and I concur) that Musk has little chance of harming Republicans. 5) This quasi-Marxist Brit thinks he understands the American Revolution. He is only right on one point: only about 1/3 of Americans supported independence, while 1/3 opposed and 1/3 could care less either way. See it in these books:Or, of course, here:6) Seth Keshel explains why cities tend to vote DemoKKKrat, with one of the reasons being corruption and election rigging going back to Boss Tweed. And speaking of hellholes, New Kabul (NYC) had no shootings or murders over the Fourth of July itself, a record. What, running low on bullets fellas? 7) A Fourth of July fireworks explosion set one New Azteca (LA) home on fire, killed one, and required 130 firefighters to put out 8) The voter registration shift is so significant that even Des Moines County, IA completely shifted to R with a 700-flip last month. Meanwhile, NC continues its rightward shift, now with an additional 500 net Rs, bringing the D advantage to only 18,000, down from 175,000 in November. In active voters, however, Rs lead by a whopping 89,000. However, the R majority in the House shrank by one when Congressman Mark Green of TN abruptly resigned to take a mystery job. And a radical RADICAL Groomer City guy named Weiner is running for the house seat there. This author thinks it benefits Trump. 9) Flash flooding in Texas killed 100 including many from from a Christian summer camp where there were 750 attendees. The camp director died racing to save the girls. it didn't take long for a racist black spoogepellet to say they deserved to die. The evil harpywhore who made those comments was summarily fired from her city of Houston gig. President Trump will head down to Texas Friday. Had this been Rutabaga, he would have asked how many whites died and made his decision based on that. 10) Devin Nunes plans to shrink the intelligence board, including the office of Director of National Intelligence. 11) Remember when DemoKKKrat moderates wanted the party to run on "good management" of cities. Benghazi-by-the-Lake (Chicago) saw 51 shootings over the Fourth of July weekend, including 6 fatalities. Maybe that's why today's "Liberal Patriot' column is back to patriotism. Yeah, that's it. Dems need to show more patriotism. Except as soon as Jason Kelce celebrates the Fourth of July, he is attacked by DemoKKKrats on social media. Meanwhile, in New Kabul, the DemoKKKrat radical marxist Islamist candidate for mayor, the Amazing Zohran, had a professor father who likened Hitler to Abraham Lincoln. That's DemoKKKrat patriotism for ya. Zohran also claimed to be black on his college entrance papers. And want more? These DemoKKKrat town halls filled with radicals want "blood" and say that their reps need to "get shot" Folks, I know the MuskEpstein stories are dominant now, but THIS IS THE DOMINANT STORY NOT JUST OF THE DAY BUT OF THE 21st CENTURY. Read Axios and what the DemoKKKrats are hearing at their town halls:...
