I noticed the intense flavor of fruits, vegetables in Italy and France when my family travelled in Europe around 1961. Even England, also Netherlands. So much better than in the US even then.

ThankQ, lyby. ThankQ, Pete.
President Trump retweeted "The Meeting that Changed Everything" by hacker group, Anonymous, describing Obama/CIA/FBI/Hillary et. al grand conspiracy (includes TRANSCRIPT)
JDR ought to get at least a bit of credit for keeping houses from burning down. The thing that made his Standard Oil of Ohio successful was standardizing the chemistry of Kerosene which was used for lamps and cooking. He got the naptha out, which had varied from driller to driller, and made the kerosene unpredictably volatile.
Then gas guzzling automobiles came along just in time to save Standard Oil from electricity. Got a couple gallons of his stuff in the back room stash. Kerosene lamps are part of the backup package.
Ahhhh. Yeah.
Back during the blurr
I just watched a 2007 movie called “Shooter.” w/ Mark Wahlberg. It’s a very predictive study in how a crooked gummint gets away with killing people. Way too many similarities to the junk going on now. 2007? That’s nearly two decades ago? And it’s almost a script for the shot at Trump in Butler.

IN POLITICAL NEWS
1) This has the potential to be a massive story. The fact that Tulsi Gabbard at DHS has revealed this, and not the DOJ, is a signal that they do not want this to look like a “gotcha” of political enemies but of what it was, a real national security threat:
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/treasonous-conspiracy-dni-gabbard-exposes-obama-center-trump-russia-hoax
the “Muh Russia” conspiracy was real and involved multiple individuals in the Obama administration, including scum such as James (Scrotumtoter) Comey, James (The Clap) Clapper, and John (Brennanski) Brennan, not to mention Obama himself.
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/treasonous-conspiracy-dni-gabbard-exposes-obama-center-trump-russia-hoax
Reports are emerging that this stuff directly implicates both Cankles and Zero.
https://x.com/paulsperry_/status/1947048837647921399
I’ll reluctantly think that Zen Master thinks nothing will happen. But lawyer Jeff Childers thinks otherwise, and lists 12 different ways Tulsi Gabbard’s roll out of the case was unique and designed specifically to avoid most of the media and legal footdragging that might come from DOJ underlings.
https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/potboiler-saturday-july-19-2025-c
Ultimately, this topic requires a heckuva lot more than I can provide in “Today’s News,” so see my substack for today.
2) Meanwhile Trump has called for the release of all grand jury testimony in the Epstein case.
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/07/17/trump-calls-to-release-all-pertinent-grand-jury-testimony-in-jeffrey-epstein-case/
Although this has been beaten to death, Naomi Wolf has a different take on the entire Epstein business, arguing that the “network” is a large collection of scientists, techbros, financiers, ethicists, and others whom Epstein recruited and funded (whether at the direct orders of a spy agency or not.
https://naomiwolf.substack.com/p/the-network-in-the-worlds-of-the
As she puts it: “The Epstein files probably contain many innocent people as well as many guilty ones; but again, they are very likely to contain, innocent and guilty, some of the most powerful of President Trump’s current supporters; and some of the greatest of scientists and some of the most influential technologists of our time.” But “muh Epstein” will sink Trump, right? Er, no. Harry Enten was astonished to find that the Epstein files and the Iran bombing had zero effect on Trump’s polling, which, among Republicans WENT UP.
https://x.com/i/status/1945846793654173983
Told you.
3) The Kollyfornia House is trying to sneak in a mid-decade redistricting to give the DemoKKKrats 5-7 more seats in Congress-—
https://x.com/JakeSherman/status/1945779560466821329
because they know they will lose 5-7 when all the census changes, voter registration changes, and deportations come through. However, they are swimming against the tide of voter roll purges. The latest in San Diego took another 345,000 ineligible voters off the rolls.
https://x.com/Shilohmarx/status/1946759904792048105?t=6_W27UV-05JrYS1nopMNGw&s=03
The statewide total-—with Orange Co. and New Azteca (LA) not in yet-—is over 2 million, maybe 2.4 million of which about 60% are DemoKKKrats.
4) Vox is still full of hopium /copium,
https://www.vox.com/politics/419913/democratic-agenda-abundance-zohran-mamdani-project-2029
saying there is a “three-way battle” for the soul of the DemoKKKrat Party. First, we all know that this terrorist organization has no soul, but the “progressive-establishment-abundance” battle is really not as neat and clean as Vox wants. They fail to recognize that there are now five major civil wars ongoing in the DemoKKKrat Party and none of the factions comes close to delivering what the American public wants because deep down most of them hate America. So when Senator Elissa Slotkin of MI urges the party to dump “wonky” policies and develop more “alpha energy,” https://dailycaller.com/2025/07/17/obamacare-rule-used-for-maryland-abortion-funds/
who are they gonna find? The Prancing Gheyboy Tampon Timmy? The Human Lemur Adam Schiff? The oleaginous goobah Gruesome? For Pete’s sake they had the ultimate soyboy, the Betamale, on all the talk shows this weekend. Granted the Amzaing Zohran has youthful jihadist energy, but he’s also a Jew-hating Islamic porkcudgel and a socialist. Then you have the aging DinoBernie, a so-called “socialist” who spent $250,000 on private jets to fight the power.
https://freebeacon.com/democrats/bernie-sanders-spends-another-230k-on-private-jets-to-fight-the-oligarchy/
But undaunted, the establishment types are developing a “Project 2029,” which will be moot when they lose.
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/30/us/politics/democrats-project-2029.html
Clinton-era Serpent Head James Carville says that “Wait, folks, the DemoKKKrats can still win the midterms. Really.”
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/30/us/politics/democrats-project-2029.html
Quietly, though, the DemoKKKrats are worried and now admit Trump is a very talented politician. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5407276-democrats-trump-politician-foreign-policy/
Meanwhile, Will Fletcher argues that the right is giving Gen Z exactly what they want. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/beltway-confidential/3474852/gen-z-right-voters-trump-republicans/
And GOP fundraising is specifically directed toward other groups than the big donor class,https://x.com/davidshor/status/1946001825888371006
while DemoKKKrats are still living and dying with the deep pockets. This is another way in which the DemoKKKrats are doomed: it’s hard to get grass roots money when ya ain’t got grass roots support.
5) For all the Panicans who said Trump was finished if the Epstein files weren’t released and/or because of the Iran bombing . . . er, no. He is at 50% in Rasmussen’s poll and up 2 more today, according to Rasmussen’s Mark Mitchell.
https://x.com/Rasmussen_Poll/status/1946904414435848612
And Mitchell was one of the biggest Panicans. Heck, even Newsweak used AI and still came up with “Trump is the Most Successful President since FDR.”
https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-most-successful-president-after-six-months-since-fdr-2101113
Yeah, but he did it without one-tenth of FDR’s congressional support and in the face of pure treason.
6) RFK, Jr., fired two more top aides at HHS,
https://www.axios.com/2025/07/16/trump-coke-real-cane-sugar-mexican-coke
and Pam Bondi fired James (Scrotumtoter) Comey’s daughter.
https://protrumpnews.com/comeys-daughter-fired-epstein-maxwell-diddy-prosecutor/
Good. Six months too late, but good.
7) The radical whoop-pickle running for New Kabul (NYC)’s mayorship, the Amazing Zohran, says he wants to “globalize the intifada.”
https://freebeacon.com/latest-news/zohran-mamdani-tells-new-york-ceos-he-stands-by-the-idea-of-globalize-the-intifada-report/
8) Six months later radical Kollyfornia DemoKKKrats have done NOTHING to rebuild from the New Azteca (LA) fires.
https://dailycaller.com/2025/07/16/california-la-recovery-karen-bass-gavin-newsom-locals-progress/
That’s because they do not want to rebuilt HOUSES there. They want multi-story ghetto dwellings.
9) Pew says the approval of the DemoKKKrat Party has fallen yet again, now down to 19%.
https://x.com/OpenSourceZone/status/1945541835008401703
I’m tellin’ ya, barring a major skin-change out of the lizardpeople persona, DemoKKKRats are on a path to extinction.
10) The Pentagon canceled a contract in which the ChiComs were giving us cloud computer support.

23) The BBB’s elimination of solar and wind subsidies is already changing American energy producers’ strategies.
https://www.enverus.com/about-enverus/?utm_campaign=media-press&u
Meanwhile the northeastern green obsessed states have the highest energy costs in the nation. By the way, David Blackmon’s column is beautiful, revealing how MurCowSki thought she had put in “language” in the BBB that would protect the subsidies, only to see Trump make an end run and issue an Ex O that required “strict adherence” to the wording of the bill and shut down all the nebulous loopholes MurCowSki hoped to take advantage of.

(My family growing up wouldn’t spend as much at restaurants in a year as Mrs LS and I do in a month). What AREN’T people spending on? Gas, construction materials, and clothing stores.

As John Nolte explains, he only had himself to blame.
https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2025/07/18/nolte-the-only-person-who-canceled-stephen-colbert-was-stephen-colbert/
But all anyone has to do is to watch the raging, anal-fisted, estrogen-laced “talk shows” at night to see how incredibly pathetic and lame they are compared to Johnny Carson’s “Tonight Show.” Carson, for all the problems in his personal life, knew perfectly how to set up guests, when to let them run, when to feed them a line, and when to make a snappy quip about a woman’s breast size. But did you know the “Late Show” operated on a loss of $40 million a year, what with Colbert’s staff of 200? https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2025/07/19/report-stephen-colberts-late-show-operated-at-a-40-million-loss-for-years/
Conservatives rushed to note that Greg Guttfeld “only” has a staff of 10, yet the Great Rush Limgaugh delivered a far better product on a daily basis with really a research staff of one or two.

Interesting. Data source???
I lived on Oahu for thirty years. Long enough to watch tourism replace agriculture as the main economic driver. Tourists didn’t like the foul smell of the pineapple cannery in downtown Honolulu or the road to the “North Shore” being closed due to smoke from burning cane fields during harvest. Shut it down, convert the cannery to a mall, build resorts, condos and shopping malls.
Now I live in Alaska watching tourism creep into the economy here, putting pressure on commercial fishing and making demands for amenities the locals neither need nor want.
I’ll stop now before I go into my full tourism rant.
