IN POLITICAL NEWS

1) If your only access to political news was X, which has again become a complete sewer closer to what Elon Musk inherited than what he turned it into for a while, you'd think that the Epstein files are "gonna get" Trump. Reality, of course, is abou 180 degrees different. The more that emerges, the worse it looks for DemoKKKrats. So, if I'm right, and Trump was just (once again) setting up the incompetent toadstools at the DemoKKKrat Party, he would suddenly pivot and call for a full release of all Epstein docs from the House, right? Do tell.

2) Some of you may recall that about four years ago, I wrote a piece called "The Suicide of the House is now Complete," in which I argued that the inability of the House (now with the Senate as well) to pass simple budget bills has almost made these institutions irrelevant. DemoKKKrat partisanship has gotten to the point that they are no longer even really involved in legislation. They obstruct, throw tantrums, then take their bath as instructed. Now Gallup confirms, noting that trust in the executive branch has actually increased among those in the president's party from 75% in the 1970s to 87% in the 2020s. In other words, neither party trusts the legislative branch to do a damned thing.

3) Trump says he will sue the Brit Bolshevik Cabal (BBC) for libel in re-editing his interviews. His current number is $5 billion. Now, the fact that 2 people have resigned and that the BBC has already apologized probably caused BBC lawyers, unless they were Franklin and Bash, to commit suicide. When this is over, Trump will fleece the BBC for enough money to open a Trump Presidential Library in all 57 states and probably get a player to be named later.

4) There are many, many ways for Rs to win. The Scott Presler approach is to register the hell out of a population and overwhelm them. Seth Keshel advised a fellow running for reelection in an Eastern WA city council race. The result? The guy won with a shift of 22 points to the right.

5) With the dominance of President Trump, the extinction of the DemoKKKrat Party, the rise of AI, and the transformation of world trade after the China Virus, it's hard to say this is one of the "top stories" of the past 25 years. But it is: the climate kooks are coming apart. Here, the NYSlimes recounts the collapse of the Sierra Club, They lost 60% of their members since 2019; spent $3.6 million trying to stop Trump in 2020, and its overall budget plummeted by $40 million. As I reported earlier this month, Bill McKibben's 350.org went out of business, too. Greenpeace slashed 20% of its budget.
