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 through. As of today, I think Hegseth is only 2-3 votes short. This story says there are "zero" opposed, but I don't believe that. And I do believe that Fetterman Massacre, the Human Ox, might be a yes.
2) I really hope no one is listening to liberal Ruy Teixeira: he notes that the DemoKKKrats problems are far deeper than tinkering around the edges of "economic populism" (i.e., Dinobernieism) but rather almost all the voters who shifted right cited multiple issues with the DemoKKKrat party as moving way too far left. Those issues included immigration, transoidism, and wokism. For example, 66% of working-class voters thought the DemoKKKrats had moved too far on all these issues. Among swing voters, cultural issues were THE most important concerns.
3) And this lib whines that Trump "didn't deserve to win, but we deserved to lose" because of horrid governance. For example, one judge ruled that New Kabul (New York City) cannot even padlock the doors of illegal weed shops.
4)This evil gutterbucket DemoKKKrat brags that the Rutabaga administration is trying to spend money as fast as possible before getting the boot, like throwing gold bars off the Titanic.
5) Jeff Bezos is "optimistic" about Trump 2.0, wants to help reduce regulations, and is proud that the WaCompost didn't endorse.. Er, Jeffrey old man, the right move would have been to have endorsed Trump. But whatever.
6) The Department of INJustice is supposedly investigating allegations against Count Dooku (Jack Smith).
7) A powerful new DOGE rule will force millions back to work, and, we hope, many of them quit.
8) Meanwhile Rutabaga, on his way out, is doing as much damage as he can, now revoking veterans' hiring preferences.
9) Rutabaga is considering pre-emptive pardons for Liz "Clubsterbomb" Cheney, Dr.
