IN POLITICAL NEWS

1) These libs are pretty funny. Noah Smith (NoCommonSense) has insisted DemoKKKrats can win but they must become "deficit hawks" (Yeah, how'd that work out for Republicans all those years?) and ditch progressive woke ideas. That's like cutting off both legs. Oh, and embrace voter ID. Please. Let's do that. Matthew Yglesias basically wants more "resist" and "get loud" at town halls. Um hmm. Over at the "Liberal Patriot' they want to emphasize inflation and the unconstitutionality of DOGE (it isn't) The problem with staking the majority of your position on being either a "deficit hawk" or inflation is that these are going to change, probably within six months. Reagan took about a year to really turn inflation around, but he turned it around. The incredible fuel/energy bonanza is coming, and will affect ALL prices, not just gas. Trump's multiple investment deals will begin to kick in by mid summer. And the phenomenal savings DOGE is finding will go a long way toward keeping the deficit down. Moreover, this just isn't a sexy issue. Republicans have been deficit hawks since Ike and it has never worked. In fact it almost always results in a deal to raise taxes, which proves more unpopular than deficits. Stay with the Harding/Coolidge/Reagan plan. Hold down spending to something reasonable (even 10% growth is acceptable) and grow your way out. Cut wherever you can. DemoKKKrats don't have a hope in hell if this is all they have. Meanwhile, in the real world, libs are in "Utter panic" about Dan Bongino's appointment as deputy FBI director. And, see, here is another reason the "inflation/deficit" crap won't work: 52% of Americans think DemoKKKrats left the border open intentionally.

2) A bunionpicker judge has blocked DOGE from seeing the records of the Office of Personnel Management and the Department of Education for now. This won't last. Meanwhile, Trump is simply deconstructing the latter. Election news is mixed in special elections, where in Maine's state house a D won and in Connecticut's Special a Republican won big---almost 7 points greater than Trump when he took that district. In Kollyfornia's special---where they have the weird jungle primary rules---Republican Stan Ellis won so big there won't even be a runoff!

3) The conviction of Theranos fraudster Elizabeth Holmes was upheld by a higher court.
