About this listen

 IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) Trump has ordered investigations into more of the "resistance" glumbugglers. 2) Wait, they think this is a win? A WI judge says she won't "hold court" after the arrest of her colleague. Sounds good to me. The fewer iguana-loving poodlesniffers in black robes, the better. 3) A new Rasmussen poll shows that a whopping 71% of Americans believe polls are rigged to produce a partisan result. 4) My Brit counterpart, Niall Ferguson, states that "Donald Trump is Crushing his To-Do List." 5) Foreign funding for universities exploded under the brainless Rutabaga, as he allowed enemies to infiltrate all our educational facilities. 6) Daniel Street reviews some of Team Trump's recent (quiet) court victories. 7) US prosecutor Ed Martin has sent letters to two medical journals upbraiding them for ADMITTED bias in articles. 8) The Peace Corps, which as I detailed in my book, A Patriot's History of the Modern World, vol. II, the Peace Corps was largely staffed by utterly incompetent college kids who did not speak the local language, knew no local customs and had no usable skills. Now DOGE has turned its guns on the organization, which will undergo "significant cuts." Let's hope it goes the way of USAID and is cut out of existence.. 9) As "Coffee and Covid" points out, the administration has also nixed the "National Climate Assessment," a useless green/globalwarming grift. As Jeff Childers notes, this is all from ONE DAY's worth of news. The BBC summarized Trump's first 100 days here, and almost certainly has understated the scope of the change. 10) Ruh Roh. The Trump administration just created an Elections Integrity Task Force. Can we PLEASE see arrests? 11) Florida's new AG, James Uthmeier, has created an "Office of Paternal Rights" that will flip the power of the state behind parents instead of teachers, activists, and transoid peckershredders who are destroying families. 12) A real conservative warrior, David Horowitz, died at age 86. 13) Trump's Chief of Staff Susie Wiles gave a rare interview in which she said Trump has earned an "A+" grade on most issues, with a few being "incomplete." 14) Despite supposedly being under R control, the Texas Legislature is passing a ban on memes without "their" disclaimer. 15) The latest DemoKKKrat hero is an Indian-born fungalfritter animal abuser. IN TRANSOID NEWS 16) Of all places, Mediocre Britain, which was the first to say that a man is a man and a woman isn't, will now test all s0-called transoid kiddos for autism, correctly impllying that they may be mentally sick. 17) Colorado is rapidly becoming the third sickest state in the nation behind Kollyfornia and Illinois with its radical gender ideology bill. Do you think the Arapahoe and Cheyenne would take the state back? IN ECONOMIC NEWS 18) Tone deaf and culturally spoogistic Nike has run a red billboard at the end of the London marathon with a new slogan "Never Again . . . Until Next Year." What never again, Nike? The Holocaust? October 7? As Jennifer Sey writes, "mocking the death of 8 million Jews kind of crosses over from 'edgy' to really stupid." But this is what you get with woke. Moreover (and even stupider) Nike plans to stick with the slogan. 19) President Trump's tariffs brought in over $115 billion in April, meaning a year long summation would leave the U.S. with an additional $1.3 trillion. And he's just getting started. Trump has also granted tariff relief for automakers who are mostly producing in the U.S. 20) Amazon was going to post the cost of Trump's tariffs on ChiCom goods but after the White House posted a display, backed off. The situation is still in flux though. 21) Kollyfornia has launched a war on oil and is becoming more dependent than ever on Chy-na. I cannot wait for this state to go full Thunderdome and see pols like Newsome and Shifty the Human Lemur thrown into giant cages with Bubba the Bouncing Hillbilly. 22) Layoffs have fallen, hires have risen. 23) The Treasury debt funding is already $2 billion below what was forecast just two months ago. 24) Merck has announced a $1 billion investment in Delaware, creating 500 jobs. 25) The first estimate of post-tariff GDP is a tiny decline of .03, far less than the Atlanta Fed's estimate of -2+ percent. All the doomspoogers are freaking out, but this was a shockingly good number given that the tariffs haven't fully kicked in and that Trump has fired tens of thousands from the gubment trough. 26) The stench of Rutabaga lingers as the home ownership rate has fallen to the lowest in five years. 27) There has been a significant breakthrough in a new hydrogen power cell, that provides up to 200,000 hours of life for minimal power drop off. IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS 28) Power is restored, for now, in Spain and Portugal (who blame each other for the outage) and gee whiz, no one knows why the blackout happened . . . but everyone expects more. Oh, and this from David Blackmon: it appears that when Spain and ...
