I keep a copy of Blazing Saddles DVD on top of the player here. I can only watch 10/15 minutes at a time. There’s so much stuff in there that I might hurt myself from watching if I go for longer stints?

TODAY’S NEWS, February 7, 2024
The News of Today is the History of Tomorrow
IN POLITICAL NEWS
1) Now that’s funny right there, I don’t care who you are: Nick Knack Paddywhack Give a Uke a Bomb lost the Nevada Republican primary by 32 points . . . to NONE OF THE ABOVE. President Trump was not on the ballot because in NV the primary awards no delegates. He will take all in the upcoming caucus. By the way, two idiot reporters, one from Axios and one from Red State just the day before had all but prophesied a Nick Knack victory, with the Red State reporter saying she had “already banked 50,000 ballots in early voting.” Wow, that’s odd because she was barely at 20,000 with all votes counted. Red State wouldn’t be lying because they hate Trump, ya think?
2) President Trump leads Rutabaga by 9 in Texas (he only won by 6 in 2020), in line with virtually all polling showing President Trump has gained between 5-10 points in every state.
3) CNN accidentally reports that Rutabaga has been forced into hiding due to his dementia.
4) Usually Karl Tokyo Rove is full of it, but he says rumors that Big Mike Obama will replace Rutabaga are “fantasy.” Agree.
5) GOP Chairman Ronna McRomBush told President Trump she will resign at the end of the month.
6) Struggling to stay relevant, DeSoros continues to make nationally-oriented speeches while ignoring Florida. I started, a year and a half ago, thinking he was a good governor. Then I was neutral, and thought maybe he was stupid. Now I’m convinced he is truly an evil force.
7) Congressman Michael Waltz (R-FL) says the U.S. Navy lacks the warships for a confrontation with Chy=na. True. However, the next naval engagement, as with Midway, will be decided in the air first. The Navy has begun introducing drone killing subs, which will be the new dive bombers.
8) GOP Senators have called for Yertle to step down from leadership. Fine, just so long as we don’t get iThunes.
9) A series of papers has now confirmed that the laser fusion breakthrough in 2020 was genuine.
10) Good. An Oklahoma newspaper must pay $25 million from a man it slandered as a racist.
11) Menopausal Ann Coulter-—what a catch!-—said the best thing President Trump could do is die. You know, Meno, they said that about a guy named William Wallace. Didn’t work out well for them.
12) Gallup says the DemoKKKrats are losing ground with blacks and Hispanics. True, but only Trump is gaining, not the GOP because they cannot be trusted.
13) For once it’s not the vax. Sadly, a 29 year old Michigan chef caught a rare fungal disease from his food that ate giant holes in his lungs. He did not survive.
14) This is what happens when you don’t have Peter Weller. New Kabul (NYC)’s “robocop” is out of action now after only four months.
IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS
15) No sooner did New Kabaul (NYC) release these thuggish slugbottoms who beat up the cops than Arizona cops arrested them again.
16) Senator James Langford (RINO-OK) who spearheaded the Senate R side of the illegal alien bill, once said 13 year olds could consent to sex.
17) Headline: “DemoKKKrats are rushing to fix their failed sanctuary city and border schemes.”
COMMENT: Let’s dive into this a little bit. First, it’s way too late to “fix” this before the election. I would argue the “fix” will take a decade, at minimum, provided you have a dedicated “fixer” like President Trump. Second, the fact that the Hill is putting this out suggests it, as the DemoKKKrat strategic mouthpiece, knows they are in for a shellacking, especially on this issue. Third, they can’t fix it. Not one city or state has repealed its “sanctuary” status. Benghazi-by-the-Lake wouldn’t even allow a vote on the status. They are totally wedded to this because it was a LONG RUN STRATEGY for them. Now it has become their second civil war, behind the Israel=Hamas split.
18) And right on cue, Mayor Eric the Red Adams of New Kabul blamed the sanctuary city/illegal criminal alien problems on race and compared himself to Jesus. Told ya. They can’t change.
IN CULTURAL NEWS
19) My favorite lib, Noah Smith, argues that the data on the gender “divide” among da youts isn’t nearly as sharp as some claim, especially in the U.S.
20) The Ivy League has reinstated standardized tests as a mechanism for admitting students.
21) The University of Indiana is facing a federal probe into it’s lack of response to anti-semitism on campus. But no such probe of Harvard or other hate-spewing Ivy League schools has occurred.
IN ECONOMIC NEWS
22) Typical of Rutabaga’s lying administration: Over 1 million jobs were reported in 2023 that never existed.
23) Morgan Stanley says 10% is the market ceiling for EVs, or a little better than golf carts.
24) America’s consumer credit card debt has hit $1.3 trillion. This is not the way.
25) You know the economy is terrible. Taylor Swift had to sell off one of her $40 million jets. She’s keeping the other one, though.
IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS
26) Former Chilean President Sebastian Pinera died in a helicopter crash.
27) A South African political candidate has called for white genocide. Yah, that spirit of Mandela sure is strong there.
IN CHINA VIRUS NEWS
34) Oh? The Rutabaga White House pressured Amazon to censor books about the China Virus that didn’t support the Regime’s stupid little messaging.
