Today's News, December 7-8, 2025

IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) I'm going to say of this poll what I say of polls I don't like: I don't trust it. This national generic poll has Republicans up 4%. But, it doesn't matter because voter registrations confirm more this poll than others. 2) The lead attorney under Rutabaga for the Pipebomber case pressured the Proud Boys for years to lie about Trump's (non) involvement. 3) Our friend Shipwreckedcrew explains the Somali fraud problem. Via contracts with schools and the gubment to provide lunches, various products including meats had to come from NGOs. Believe it or not Scott Johnson and Powerline has been on this story since 2018. These NGOs had to be located in po neighborhoods where at least 50% of the kids were getting freebies. 4) I have posted most of these separately, but Seth Keshel does a good job of summarizing the most important voter registration numbers, and they ALL look good for Rs. NC will be a red state within two months at most. PA may be red by 2028. GOP margins are growing everywhere. 5) Kollyfornia is heading for an energy drop-off cliff. Since 2007, the state's domestic oil production has fallen 65%, reliance on furrin energy, up 70%. This is a national security issue. You cannot have a giant coastal state, with a massive economy, in thrall to furrin evil rotatorglands. As David Blackmon, the Rush Limbaugh of energy has pointed out countless times, even if Kollyfornia (like other states) had the production capacity, its pathetic infrastructure is third world due to high costs. It's top pipeline operates at just 17% capacity. And President Trump put an end to the state's goofball EV mandate, which is a problem because Kollyfornia has put most of its eggs in the failing EV basket, er, socket. Since Trump just killed Rutabaga's preposterous CAFE standards, Kollyfornia will be particularly hard hit. Rutabaga was on a demented jihad to eliminate gas-powered cars in America. 6) Roger Kimball argues that Trump's influence is only growing. He will truly go down as one of the great men in history. (Horace Walpole once wrote that only great men---not good ones---can change history because they are willing to do what must be done.) 7) The Trump administration suspects widespread fraud in programs administered by the Small Business Administration and have ordered them to turn over all records. 8) The coldest and harshest winter in 12 years will hit the U.S. So, all that "global warming" stuff is bovine excrement? 9) More winning (and more use of the infamous "poised to"): Supes appear "poised to" hand Trump a victory on agency firings. 10) Republicans are on the winning side, again, in PA registering a small net gain in voters after two months of small losses. 11) Even The Hill now admits this: "The Green New Deal is Dead." 12) Rising DemoKKKrat star quits TX race. Gee why? I thought 2026 was gonna be the DemoKKKrats' year. Likewise long-serving TX DemoKKKrat Lloyd (Doggonit) Doggett announced his retirement from the House. IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS 13) Tehran confirms the U.S. has deported more Iranians. 14) He's not even in office yet and the Amazing Zohran is instructing illegal criminal invaders on evading arrest. 15) Another twice-deported illegal, who was allowed back into the country, knifed a man on a train in Charlotte, NC. IN CULTURAL NEWS 16) The great Ryan Burge shows that those who are religious are more likely to have a job; and that those Christians who don't go to church are more likely not to be employed. 17) Suspensions, yea, discipline is down in schools, violence is up, despite the early attempts by Trump to root out DEI. This will take a while. IN ECONOMIC NEWS 18) Dollar General Store, where almost nothing is a dollar anymore, is opening over 500 new stores. 19) Not surprised at all. Rutabaga gave illegal criminal alien invaders FHA-backed mortgages. 20) Trump has created a task force to investigate food industry price fixing. Normally that would have been done by any number of agencies, but so many DemoKKKrat cinderbiscuits still inhabit too many agencies. 21) A fascinating review of where the current economy is from Cathy Wood shows that capital investments are growing, inflation has flattened (today's inflation numbers beat expectations in a good way), even housing is looking a little better, the BBB tax cuts are, in fact, going to make a difference and that there are still too many people looking for work, despite a 4% unemployment rate. See my today's substack for further political analysis of this. IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS 22) Euro leaders are conspiring against President Trump's Uke peace plan to save Green Screen Zelensky. Evil, rotting, toadstools. They make Napoleon look positively benign. 23) The US has given the Euros one year to take over the bulk of NATO. U.S. deputy Sec State just said that the EU has become NATO and NATO has become the EU. Sayonara. 24) X users skyrocketed after the goofball Hun-led Euros fined X $140 million...
