IN POLITICAL NEWS

1) Trump's Big Beautiful Bill passed, after much cajoling, whining, horse trading, and good old fashioned arm twisting. Only St. Thomas of Spooge voted against if for the Rs, while not a single DemoKKKrat voted for tax cuts for the middle class, not taxes on tips, completing the border wall, or increasing the ICE budget. The final bill eliminated funding for illegals on Medicaid, did serious damage to Planned Parenthood, and otherwise constituted a more permanent lock-in of the MAGA agenda. The House, apparently, was so winded by the stress they have to take off all of next week. Libs, meanwhile, are in tears. As the UK Guardian put it, "Trump's big bill achieved what conservatives have been trying to do for years." NPR whined that it would "supercharge" illegal alien deportations.

NOTE: a lot of critics of Mike Johnson and John Can't-Carry-A-Thune need to take note that each leader came through in the clutch. Often these were back-room deals, and there were more pirouettes than a Cirque du Soliel act, but it's irrelevant. They "got 'er done."

2) In what is getting to be a habit, the Supes bitchslapped yet another court trying to circumvent Trump's deportation to third world countries. Even Justice Kagan is getting sick of this crap, joining the conservative majority.

3) The only suitable way of putting this is that Smarmy Christopher Wray, the former FBI director, was a walking rectal thermometer. He blocked an investigation of the ChiComs' interference in the 2020 election including issuance of fake drivers' licenses. He, Brennanski the Russkie puppet, James "Scrotumtoter) Comey, and The Clap, James Clapper, in a just world would all be in jail.

4) Commonsense DemoKKKrat Ruy Teixeira really does get it: his party is not learning: It continues to move toward the next (worse) generation of crazed leftoids like Mamdani. But the Hoax News Media loves fascists like him, so there's that . . . . Another "commonsense DemoKKKrat," pollster Mark Penn, calls the party's alignment behind the Amazing Zohran a "9/11 moment."
