Episode Details

NOTE: Today is my last day with Stanley. He goes to the vet for his appointment with the Rainbow Bridge tomorrow. He's in pain much of the time with bad arthritis, cannot walk but a couple of steps without falling over, is partially blind and has doggie dementia. He has been a pain in the neck on the one hand and my best friend on the other. We used to walk miles together. One time he climbed up into our olive tree and tore it to shreds, convinced something was in there. When we moved from Ohio, where we had a patio deck with a giant green yard, he used to shoot out the door and leap into the yard. We forgot he didn't know we had a pool at the new Arizona house and was he surprised! Lova ya, Stan. You'll always be my doggie.

IN POLITICAL NEWS

1) I love this. The White House canceled security clearances for a whole gaggle of douchenipples, including Cankles, Liz Cheney, Alvin Bragg, Cackles, Veeta Vita Vindman, and the whole Rutabaga family. Trump also rescinded an executive order against the law firm of Paul Weiss after the lawyers offered $40 million in free legal services for everyone, including conservatives. I'd make it contingent upon court wins, jail releases, or reductions of sentence.

2) For now an appeals court has reinstated 25,000 federal probationary employees. As I said in my substack last week, stall, stall, stall. The longer they are unemployed, the less likely they will ever get their jobs back. If the positions must be filled, MAGA people are available. Then see if the judge still wans those jobs filled.

3) DOJ has a criminal investigation into the leaker of the Venezuelan gang info to the New York Slimes.

4) President Trump cut funding to seven Australian universities, leading to the obvious question, why are we funding any foreign university?

5) There is strong support for Elon Musk and DOGE cuts to the federal gubment.

6) No, President Trump is not sharing ChiCom war plans with Musk.

7) Rutabaga's DOE secretary, Jennifer Granholm, hid a study that showed LNG was good for the planet.
