TODAY’S NEWS, August 22, 2024
The News of Today is the History of Tomorrow
IN POLITICAL NEWS
1) I don’t think these are the droids they were looking for. President Trump pulled ahead of Cackles during the DNC in the betting markets-—and 11-point flip.
2) Defense budget talks revived notions of drafting women.
3) The “Uncommitted National Movement,” a bunch of leftoid pro-Hamas Murder Pirates group, has pulled its support for Cackles as insufficiently crazy. Meanwhile pollster Frank Luntz said Cackles had the best campaign launch ever and it still won’t be enough to beat Trump.
4) New Jersey Congressman Bill Pascrell, Jr., died. Combined with the earlier death of Sheila Jackson Lee and the retirement of a Republican, the GOP has expanded its lead in the House to nine votes. Meanwhile, the thoroughly corrupt Senator Bob Menendez resigned and the thoroughly corrupt NJ governor announced George Selmy as his thoroughly corrupt replacement.
5) Rutabaga’s Commerce Secretary was not aware of the massive downward revision of jobs by almost 1 million in her department’s fraudulent accounting.
6) A news study finds that constipation may be a risk factor in major cardiac events. I have two words for you: Habanero Salsa. Meanwhile this study warns that high levels of fluoride in water is linked to low IQ in youts. Wait, did you adjust for DemoKKKrat Party affiliation?
IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS
7) The Department of Homeland InSecurity has issued orders protecting spouses of illegal criminal invaders.
IN CULTURAL NEWS
8) The great Ryan Burge shows that church attendance declined from 2020-2022, especially among Catholics. Least likely to quit going: Evangelicals and Republicans. Another way to look at it: when churches went along with the gubment in the lockdowns and agreed they weren’t “essential,” people believed them.
9) Imagine that. MIT’s black student enrollment fell after the Supes ruled quotas and affirmative action illegal.
10) Uppity northern elites always used to cite Mississippi as having a poor education system. Now Mississippi has higher 4th grade scores than New Somalia, er, Minnesota.
IN ECONOMIC NEWS
11) As if the revision downward of employment statistics by almost one million wasn’t scandal enough, three big banks obtained that data exclusively during a delay in releasing the data publicly due to “technical problems.”
12) Mortgage rates have dropped a tad to the lowest in a year, but people still ain’t buyin’. Too high.
13) Time to break up Google and its fascist left-wing election tampering. The company is giving $100 million to “local newsrooms” to tell them what to cover.
14) They may be drunk, but they ain’t stupid: Jack Daniels is just the latest company to ditch the DEI hires.
IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS
15) Uke commanders are blaming “poorly trained recruits” for failures on the Eastern Front. What? I thought they were invading Russia?
16) I know he didn’t mean it-—that this was pure show-—but Pootie-poot better be careful. He has only succeeded so far in Ukraine because God has not stopped him. That could change as he kisses a Koran. Likewise, if this is true, Putin lost all protection he had enjoyed for two years. Russkie forces are apparently targeting evangelical churches in Ukraine.
IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS
17) Don’t know what happened to Candice Owens, but she has gone Full Anti-Semite, denying that the “Angel of Death,” Dr. Mengele, existed. She has fallen into the Billie Eilish/Britney Spears zone.
18) Shocked I tell ya! Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s marriage began to fall apart days after they got married. Did not see that coming.
IN CHINA VIRUS NEWS
19) New reports show the China Virus vax may be linked to eye bleeding.
20) The CDC is trying to get you all on the Covid Carousel again with this scare headline that there are “very high” levels of the China Virus reported in 31 states.
