The News of Today is the History of Tomorrow
IN POLITICAL NEWS
1) After the assassination attempt, President Trump called RFK, Jr. to offer a way to join forces, saying “it would be good for you, it would be good for me.” He then said “We’re going to win” to which RFK AGREED, saying “Yeah.” But the story that Epoch Times goes with is that Bobby apologized for having videotaped the conversation and allowing it to leak.

[I posted article with link to audio of call yesterday]
2) Almost 60% of those surveyed by Harris say the inflammatory rhetoric against President Trump was a cause of the assassination attempt. That number is almost HALF of DemoKKKrats and three quarters of Republicans.
3) Anyone still questioning the J.D. Vance veep appointment need only look at the freakout from the GOP neocons. Bwahahahahah. And now the Wall Street Urinal admits Trump is winning black and hispanic support by “ignoring his party’s advice,” namely to oppose more illegal immigration. Here, Elizabeth Warren (ComanChe) says Vance is Trump, only worse. Couldn’t have a more ringing endorsement.

By choosing the Ukraine-skeptic Ohio senator, Trump accelerates his party’s rejection of its Reaganite roots.

[Polls are all stupid....!]
4) President Trump continues to lead in the latest Yougov poll but this is a D+9 sample. It is clear now that pollsters are doing everything they can to portray a “close” race so that the true swing states-—MN, ME, NJ, NM, and VA-—don’t already slide into President Trump’s column. This GA poll is President Trump +6, as does this WI poll.. (By the way, the WI poll has the senate race TIED). Indeed, as part of the Yougov poll, Trump leads in all seven “swing states,” although DemoKKKrat senator candidates also lead, mostly by about 7 points. Keep in mind this was a D+9 sample, though. These races are close and President Trump can haul many of these candidates over the line in November.
5) However, some of the most stunning news came from my friend Seth Keshel (@RealSKeshel) who sent me the updated numbers from Maricopa County, AZ. A little explanation is needed. MC is updating its voter registration numbers daily now (other counties, monthly). Just since the assassination attempt, in less than four days, the AZ GOP has NET gained 1,200 voters over the Ds. This is more than any three-day period in AZ history, and likely puts MC at R+6 at least, perhaps R+7. Moreover, as Seth explained, we are getting a lot of Ds dropping while Rs add, meaning two-fers. It’s not just both parties adding voters, but Ds LOSING voters.
6) And here is more evidence of President Trump’s appeal to blacks, as the number of black delegates to the RNC has “swelled.”

7) The GA supreme court won’t hear the Fat Fani Willis disqualification case until after the election, meaning the GA case is dead as a doornail. Oh, and speaking of GA, it has over 550,000 false listings on its voter rolls.
8) And I know this race is supposedly lost . . . but Steve Garvey has outraised Schiffty the Human Lemur in the Kollyfornia U.S. Senate Race.
9) Just the latest lib rag to support my “I told you so” that Rutabaga is the nominee, while the Media Coup is now gathering steam again. Too late.
10) Axios, one of the triplicates of the DemoKKKrat Party mouthpieces (with Politico and The Hill) says Rutabaga is “leaning left” in order to survive. This is pure aardvark analdroppings. Rutabaga, according to The Truce, had shifted hard left since 2020.
11) Peter Navarro, just released from prison for the bogus charges related to Patriot Day, January 6, is headed for the RNC convention.
12) I’m sure he’ll get to the bottom of it: the DHS Inspector General is investigating the Trump Secret Service malfeasance. At BEST this was gross incompetence. At worst it is as the conspiracy theorists claim, a government plot to eliminate President Trump. And new reports show that not only was a cell phone recovered but a transmitter next to Crooks’ body.
Meanwhile, the George Lincoln Rockwell Project, Elementary School Division’s Little Yoda Wilson has doubled down on a “put a bullet in Trump” comment. Why isn’t he in jail? But at least the Secret Service director admitted:

13) The energy absurdities noted by David Blackmon, the Rush Limbaugh of Energy, continue with the Massachusetts island of Nantucket (no, don’t go there with a limerick) banning people from the beaches because the crap and debris from wind turbines-—which are already breaking down-—is floating up on shore causing health hazards.

IN CULTURAL NEWS
19) America’s ritziest towns are having a case of the guilts and are now seeking to ban McMansion homes. This is why in the late 1800s the really rich went all the way to Newport, Rhode Island to put up their mansions. They weren’t trying to impress the proles, but each other.

Your #25: I remember when Soetoro had purple lips (liver lips) for quite some time, but it was attributed more to the “pipe”, not booze, if memory serves.
