IN POLITICAL NEWS

1) The New York Slimes has now shifted its caterwauling about the cuts in the BBB and now is directing its opposition to the fact that for once in a very long time, the states will have to pay their own way. Whiney Hobbit, the gov of Arizona, having just sunk two balanced-budget bills from the statehouse, says "gee, now we won't have enough money." Boo hoo. Cut, baby, cut. As I said months ago, Trump is absolutely taking the New Deal and Great Society apart, brick by brick. As Jeff Childers noted the BBB "doesn’t just reform the welfare state; it deconstructs it. It’s the first major paradigm shift since LBJ. And it’s political genius, because the states must now shoulder the blame for cuts." We'll see how many DEI or homosexual programs states want to fund if citizens can't get their expected goodies. According to the Slimes, that amounts to $1 trillion. Get it? Previously the U.S. gubment was adding $1 trillion every 10 years to our debt that was actually the responsibility of the states. And Dem governors are SQUEALING. Oh, and food stamp recipients need to work.

2) It appears that Hakeem ("Movin' on Up") Jeffries' marathon speech against the BBB only caused a few Republicans to actually switch and support the bill. DemoKKKrats were irate with Movin. This story claims Trump has maneuvered the DemoKKKrats into supporting the Amazing Zohran in New Kabul (NYC) and thus has ensured a GOP landslide in 2026. I'm more cautious. Rs hold the House, and gain a modest 5-10.

3) File under, "Why are Republicans acting like DemoKKKrats?" Our pals at the Slimes again blared: "They savaged their party's bill. Then they voted for it." Boo hoo. For once, the Rs held together as a group, save St. Thomas of Spoogeville and Fitzpatrick of PA, who is a Uke warwhore.

4) Elon Musk started a new political party which, apparently has two members---Andrew "Yangtze" Yang and Mark "Castro" Cuban, along with an Indian treasurer and custodian. Perfect. Here, Seth Keshel explains (and I concur) that Musk has little chance of harming Republicans.

5) This quasi-Marxist Brit thinks he understands the American Revolution. He is only right on one point: only about 1/3 of Americans supported independence, while 1/3 opposed and 1/3 could care less either way. See it in these books:
