    IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) Probably the single biggest complaint and point of tension between Trump and the MAGA electorate is the seemingly glacial pace of indictments for the political traitors and conspirators, along with the the tardiness in releasing the Epstein list. Jeff Childers, in his "Coffee and Covid" column, argues that a far more important DOJ war is going on against human trafficking, where no fewer than 270 (!!!) investigations are under way. In all likelihood, that consumes 1,000-2,000 DOJ personnel and, when combined with the 70+ court battles DOJ has to fight, you are now looking at another 1,000 personnel. FBI director Kash Patel says that the bureau is in a full-scale war with a trafficking group called "764," and that they have already arrested over 200 leaders of the group and freed a large number of children (Patel did not give specifics). Every single one of the 55 FBI field offices is involved in this war. The 764 and other groups prey on white, underage girls, getting to them through social media, games, and chat forums. Many of these groups are flat-out satanic, and many are neo-Nazi white supremacist. Childers, a lawyer, gives a case-file example of how this worked. The Moloch-lovers who compose these groups are called "accelerationists" because they want to accelerte civilization's collapse. Demonic Diddlepickles is more like it. An X account named "BX" has posted a review of these poodlepinchers. As Childers warns, this isn't a bunch of toss-off toadstools fomenting in their basements. This is a global and digital organization of Baal-humping malcontents every bit the equivalent of al-Qaeda, but with different tactics. As "friends" on X, Instagram, Facebook, or other social media pages they use phrases such as "You're so mature for your age" or "Your parents don't get you" to start the grooming cycle. Please read the whole column. While some would say, "Well, the Epstein files are so high profile it would send a message." Apparently from the get go---and AG Pam Bondi has highlighted this repeatedly---the Trump administration places such a high value on saving these kids from trafficking that it is willing to take the hit for diverting resources from a guy who didn't kill himself and whose operation is shut down. 2) Speaking of investigations and prosecutions that need to be done, but which we apparently don't have the resources for, Rutabaga's evil administration targeted "non-criminal conservatives" who spread "disinformation." 3) Writers at The Liberal Patriot are desperately dredging up the ghost of Zero (Barack Obama), forgetting that he lost a record number of DemoKKKrat seats nationally and locally. Zero never helped the DemoKKKrats, and lost significant national support even though he beat an inept and globalist Minion Romney in 2012. So, yeah, boys. Keep dredging up the Ghost of Racist Past. Meanwhile, Richard Baris's Big Data Poll has Trump at 48% approval, 47% disapproval. And I think Rich would agree that no matter how hard he tries to adjust, there are another 1-2% of pro-Trump voters who just refuse to be polled, skewing the results downward. Rasmussen also had Trump up, and over 50%. 4) In huge news, with both John Roberts and ACB voting with the majority, the Supes upheld President Trump's transoid ban. Here is a review of all the court cases pending against the Trump admin. If you just look at green vs. red (approve vs. blocked) green is winning. Many are still "pending." 5) It's Wyoming, so why is this important? Because it is 100% in line with every other state we can track: GOP gained a net of 120 over DemoKKKrats and 40 over BOTH DemoKKKrats and Independents. Now, in NC we see the normal pattern of GOP beating DemoKKKrats (again), bringing their overall lead down to 105,000 from 175,000 in 2020, but in NC Republicans have now taken an 83,000 lead in active voter registration. Meanwhile, Seth Keshel's substack offers a quick review in which in seven battlegrounds Rs have out gained Ds. Every. Single. One. The latest from NH, where Rs gained more than the Ds and Is put together, while in NV, May statistics show the GOP netted 2,200 over the Ds. 6) Former Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva has left the DemoKKKrat Party for the Republicans. 7) Fetterman Massacre, the Human Ox, has defended Israel. Uh oh. Now DemoKKKrat snakescratchers are questioning his mental health. These are the same people who think women are men and the same ones who said, when Fetterman was in the hospital with a stroke and was temporarily brain dead, that he was sharp as a tack. 8) Shocked, I tell ya. A new House report shows that the FBI "butchered" the report on the softball game shooting, downplaying the anti GOP animosity of the shooter, who left a clear letter indicating his hatred of Republicans. Seriously, we need to raze the FBI as an institution. 9) President Trump met with the newly elected governor of the 51st state, who insisted Canada would NEVER become part...

    IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) First Richard Baris said it, then Mark Mitchell of Rasmussen said it, now Robert Cahaly of Trafalgar says that Hoax Polling is pushing a false narrative to pressure Congress. Mitchell described modern polling as a joke, showing that the "major" polls had President Trump "declining" 11 points then miraculously recovering. This came as CNN's data analyst---who is ok, if a tad late on everything---Harry Enten said if the election were again held today, President Trump would win. Heck, I think he'd add NH and NJ to his electoral total today. 2) A 25% tariff on all imported auto parts went into effect Saturday. 3) Me-hee-co foolishly refused Trump's offer of military support against the cartels. That's because Mexican President Claudia Scheinbaum is owned by the cartels. 4) DOJ sued the city of Denver over its "sanctuary city" status. Good. Break every one of these rotpiddlers. Oh, and Harmeet Dhillon at the DOJ's Civil Rights Division opened an investigation into Hennepin Co., Minnesota for civil rights violations against whites in its hiring policies. As I said, break these mofos. 5) A focus group of black voters tell a shocked CNN they have no regrets about voting for President Trump. 6) P.O.D.: "We are the youth, the youth of the nation!" Gen-Zers make up 1/3 of X's audience,. 7) DemoKKKrats continue to flounder about like rabid fish, with a former aide to Botoxic blasting House DemoKKKrat leader Hakeem Jeffries for "squandering" anti-Trump opportunities. Gee, is this racist? And as they flop about, they are "open" now to another run by Cackles. Gosh, I don't know that the news this year can get any better. Just the latest from the "moderate" wing, as, while trying to put the best spin possible on the data, Nate Moore notes that "congressional dysfunction could play an outsized role in determining who controls Congress next year." He cites this as reason that Michael Bennett (D-CO), Marsha Blackbfurn (R-TN), and Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) are joining those senators who already announced they won't run again (Jeanne Shaheen, D-NH, Gary Peters, D-MI, Yertle, R-China, Tina Smith, D-MN, and Dick Turban, D-IL). Bennett will leave his senate term early. This has to be greatly concerning to Ds in particular, as this was to have been a strong year for them, yet now they have to defend five seats more that they did not expect to have to fight for., 8) Another Trump court win as an appeals court overturned a judge's ruling that the Voice of America fired employees had to be restored. WINNING. And more winning here as the National Endowment for the Spoogistic Arts has begun terminating grants. 9) A mob of Georgia fecalthugs aged 5-14 (in FIFTH GRADE??) beat up a seven year old on a bus and the brilliant and courageous bus driver neither intervened nor called for help but calmly kept driving to the school. Anyone wanna guess what the payout on this lawsuit is? 10) Senator Jodi Ernst, head of the Senate DOGE committee, found that many U.S. gubment employees are doing union work on the gubment's dime. 11) It's all coming out now. Yet another new book says Rutabaga's aides refused to let him take a cognitive test in February 2024 on grounds that just taking the test would make him seem incompetent. 12) What the hell is wrong with these pilots? They should be immediately dismissed from service, as the pilot of an Apache helo caused two "near misses" in D.C. because the unnamed pilot (another she??) "took the scenic route." IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS 13) In a story about a man who raped a corpse (not Rutabaga) in the New York subway (not a New York Subway), the New York Slimes seemed to have missed that he was an illegal criminal alien. 14) Jeff Childers says that FL AG James Uthmeier has set up the fed district courts for a Supe showdown over whether states can enforce illegal criminal alien immigration laws. 15) President Trump has directed fed agencies to reopen Alcatraz prison, you know, just in case we need to hold some of these illegal criminal gangbangers while awaiting the Supes to get off their asses. 16) President Trump is working on a deal with that lovely garden spot Rwanda for deportees to go there. IN CULTURAL NEWS 17) Can universities be fixed? Roger Kimball is skeptical, saying "If reaIf real change is going to come to academic culture, criticism must be ceaseless, pointed, and deep." He sees the end game as "de-politicizing" American universities. Yet nothing has ever, ever truly been "depoliticized." Rather, for almost 200 years we blindly accepted that one could depoliticize areas of life---education, entertainment, even religion. Jesus did say "render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's." But the question has become, how and where do you change who is Caesar? And if you wait too long, can you do it at all? Personally, I think to achieve what Kimball wants requires a complete renovation that begins with the entire university structure basically eliminated. IN...

    IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) President Trump had his fourth cabinet meeting in 100 days (Rutabaga had nine in FOUR YEARS), and all of the secretaries praised Trump's programs, which greatly irritated the Moloch-lovers. SecState Muy Macho Marco Rubio revealed that Rutabaga had an office specifically tasked to produce disinformation on political opponents. 2) If there was a competition among Trump's cabinet secretaries for who could do the most the fastest, it would be a tie among Doug Burgum, Chris Wright, Lee Zeldin, and RFK, Jr. (sad to say, so far, Pam Bondi would be in the second tier). Nevertheless, RFK, Jr. issued a stunning statement that the Rutabaga administration played a part in child trafficking and that the Trump administration is searching for 300,000 kids. Sadly, history suggests these poor kids are going to be impossible to find, but it is absolutely worth the search. 3) Finally! Robert Kennedy's HHS is requiring all new vaxxes to be tested against placebos. I would amend that to say they all must be tested on vax CEOs first. By the way, the Rutabaga=era vax snakeoil salesmen are deeply disturbed that vaxxes might actually be tested by someone other than Pfizer or Moderna. Gee, wonder why? 4) Slowly the dam is breaking, as a GA legislator who called for Trump's assassination has been arrested on sex trafficking charges. This "may" be how Bondi is handling this. Suspecting she will not be able to get convictions on their actual crimes of treason and overall spooge-spreading, she may be using alternative laws---particularly sex-trafficking, which, in fact, most of these Moloch-lovers have likely engaged in, to put them away. 5) The FBI has punished/reassigned agents who took a knee during George Floyd riots. Sounds merciful to me. 6) NM saw a net GOP gain of over 700, slashing some 5,000 off the D's margin since November 2024. In New Jersey, Rs net gained 1,800 last month. More GOP registration news, this time from IA where Rs out-registered Ds by a net of 2,180. Again, with a single week exception in PA, this string of GOP registration net gains is unbroken in nearly a year in every state. 7) James O'Keefe promises a "bombshell" drop in a week and adds, "I am not suicidal. Please pray for me." 8) New York Public Schools sent a newsletter to teachers accusing Israel of "genocide" in Gaza. 9) Great news, as in TX, Sen. Cornhole trails Ken Paxton in the senate race. 10) Frustrated DemoKKKrats are calling for more mass protests. Cuz, you know, the last ones full of geriatric white people on crutches and sucking on inhalers was just sooooooo effective in stopping President Trump. By the way, Trump has signed an order terminating government funding for NPR and PBS. 11) The State Department is dismantling an anti-Israel rogue ageency. Meanwhile, it looks like Hegseth won (my newly-christened nickname for him is "The Punisher"), as Nat Security Advisor Mike Waltz is stepping down along with his leaky advisor Alex Wong. And I don't think they got the Wong man here. However, now Muy Macho Marco will take over as National Security Advisor, as well as being Archivist and heading USAID. Seems to me this points to two developments. First, Trump increasingly trusts Muy Macho as he has been at the forefront of slapping down people like Green Screen Zelensky. Second, I think this was part of Trump's overall consolidation/eliminate waste plan to combine the positions anyway. Oh, and it wouldn't be the first time the Secretary of State wore so many hats. In the War of 1812, Secretary of State James Monroe had to become in essence acting president when President James Madison was forced to ride out of DC and go on the lam, and then Madison, when he caught up to the incompetent Secretary of War, William Eustis, fired him, then after replacing him with John Armstrong, fired him as well, making Monroe the temporary Secretary of War as well. 12) Here is new info on the legal and financial troubles of Epstein accuser Virginia Guiffre following her suicide. 13) The U.S. government settled with the family of Ashi Babbit, the unarmed woman shot by that criminal Michael Byrd, for $30 million. But he still flies free. 14) President Trump has announced a military parade on June 14 to celebrate the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary. 15) Trump has made his first appellate judge nomination. Whitney Hermandorfer has a record primarily of standing up to transoids in women's sports and as a pro-life advocate. Please, though ACB has been ok, no more ACBs. More Scalias, Thomases, and Alitos. 16) Little Red Lyin' Hood, former press sec Jen Psaki, said she "never saw" a "diminished" Rutabaga. That's, as I keep saying, because he was already "diminished" when she FIRST saw him, meaning the old Demented Pervert looked quite normal. IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS 17) Me-hee-co says it has already accepted 39,000 deportees. 18) The U.S. has created a second military zone along the border with Me-hee-co. IN CULTURAL NEWS 19)...
