IN POLITICAL NEWS

i 1) In a big developing scandal of a story (how big remains to be seen), the Fellowship of the Autopen seems to be growing. Yesterday, it was asserted that Senator Elizabeth Warren (ComanChe) was the Custodian of the Autopen. Now, understand that claim was made by Trump's "cryptoczar" David Sacks, and only in the context of blocking crypto. Otherwise, that makes no sense at all, and doesn't pass the Frijole Fart Club Smell Test. I haven't read everything on Team Rutabaga, but everything that I have read cited three people surrounding the Demented Pervert who could/would have used said autopen: Chief of Staff (until the last few weeks) Ron Klain, Anita Dunn, and the Senior Skank. Today that has been confirmed yet again by the Atlantic, which has called them a "Protective Politburo." The Glandgobbling Gulag is probably a more apt term, but nevertheless, the Atlantic (soon to be the Salton Sea if readership continues to fall) continues to be exposed by Jake Fakey Tapper in his "for the money" tour touting his book Original Sin---all the while he pretends, gee, he didn't know.

2) Another day, another warning from John Halpin on the "Psychology of Party [ i.e., DemoKKKrat] decline." These guys at Liberal Patriot are doing everything in their power to turn around the DemoKKKrat lemmings who are leaping off Niagara Falls. What he still fails to grasp is history: the Federalists died because they never did "run" (no campaigns then) on issues, but rather qualifications. The Liberty/Know-Nothings never survived because they were single issue parties. But the DemoKKKrats' real model right now is the Whigs . . . but worse. The Whigs ignored the biggest issue of the day, slavery. The DemoKKKrats are not only not ignoring the four biggest issues of the day, but are on the wrong side of all of them: illegal immigration, woke/transoidism, anti-semitism/pro-Hamas Murder Pirates, and AI energy needs. I give them a decade, at best. Meanwhile, yet another argument is that "oh, noo, it's only because DemoKKKrats are "talking like professors." Just change the words. Everything is fine."

3) A polling stunner from Rasmussen: "For the first time in our history a majority of Americans say we are on the right track." Patrick Basham's Democracy Institute finds the same thing, with President Trump at 52%.

4) Indiana has started work to annex some Illinois counties. Seth Keshel looks at the political impact if, indeed, Indiana can pull it off. It would move about 8 EVs to the GOP.

5) Majorie Taylor Greene says she was told the first of many DOGE cut votes is coming Monday.

6) Good. Remember when three aides to SecDef Pete Hegseth (of the non-interventionist variety) were fir
