IN POLITICAL NEWS

1) Probably the most interesting story of the weekend was Columbia's President rejecting a planeload of illegal invaders. Then Trump threatened massive tariffs and a trade war. Bingo! Gustavo Petro suddenly offered his presidential plane to help with the deportations. All in less than 10 hours. Trump's new deportation policy isn't MAGA. It's FAFO! X poster Cynical Publius noted that this may be the first time in history major diplomacy was negotiated through social media.

2) Both Pete Hegseth (by J.D. Vance's tie-breaking vote) and Kristi Noem (by a lot) got confirmed to their cabinet posts. The bigs are coming up: RFK, Jr., Tulsi, Kash Patel, and Pam Biondi.

6) Mayor of New Kabul (NYC) Eric the Red Adams has moved closer to Trump, alarming DemoKKKrats. He sees reality: blue-city mayors are screwed unless they play ball big time. Trump will gut their federal gimmes if they don't help with the illegal criminal invader round up.

7) "Trump is everywhere again," as Politico is forced to admit how different and more energetic Trump is than Rutabaga was.

8) President Trump has reinstated the "Mexico City" policy of banning all U.S. funding of abortions overseas. Then he told a Vegas audience he'd get rid of the "88,000 IRS agents" that Rutabaga added---or "we'll move them to the border."

9) In a joint televised conference, Trump bitch-slapped the idiotic Mayor ASS of New Calcutta (Los Angele
