STRANDED CAMPERS ALIVE...
A MIRACLE!!!
I hope we will soon be treated to their presence with their grandpa, especially around the Resolute Desk.
From the scuttlebutt I'm hearing, FLOTUS and Trump's kids and grandkids no longer mix. Melania didn't attend Tiffany's baby shower in Florida held blocks from Mar-a-Lago, and Melania released a statement to the press when asked why that she "keeps her own schedule".
Methinks she's redefined her relationship with DJT and his relationship with the kids.
It seems to be working for her. 🤷

TODAY’S NEWS, July 3-4, 2025

The News of Today is the History of Tomorrow
IN POLITICAL NEWS
1) Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill passed, after much cajoling, whining, horse trading, and good old fashioned arm twisting. Only St. Thomas of Spooge voted against if for the Rs, while not a single DemoKKKrat voted for tax cuts for the middle class, not taxes on tips, completing the border wall, or increasing the ICE budget. The final bill eliminated funding for illegals on Medicaid, did serious damage to Planned Parenthood, and otherwise constituted a more permanent lock-in of the MAGA agenda. The House, apparently, was so winded by the stress they have to take off all of next week. Libs, meanwhile, are in tears. As the UK Guardian put it, “Trump’s big bill achieved what conservatives have been trying to do for years.” NPR whined that it would “supercharge” illegal alien deportations.
NOTE: a lot of critics of Mike Johnson and John Can’t-Carry-A-Thune need to take note that each leader came through in the clutch. Often these were back-room deals, and there were more pirouettes than a Cirque du Soliel act, but it’s irrelevant. They “got ‘er done.”
2) In what is getting to be a habit, the Supes bitchslapped yet another court trying to circumvent Trump’s deportation to third world countries. Even Justice Kagan is getting sick of this crap, joining the conservative majority.
3) The only suitable way of putting this is that Smarmy Christopher Wray, the former FBI director, was a walking rectal thermometer. He blocked an investigation of the ChiComs’ interference in the 2020 election including issuance of fake drivers’ licenses. He, Brennanski the Russkie puppet, James “Scrotumtoter) Comey, and The Clap, James Clapper, in a just world would all be in jail.
4) Commonsense DemoKKKrat Ruy Teixeira really does get it: his party is not learning: It continues to move toward the next (worse) generation of crazed leftoids like Mamdani. But the Hoax News Media loves fascists like him, so there’s that . . . . Another “commonsense DemoKKKrat,” pollster Mark Penn, calls the party’s alignment behind the Amazing Zohran a “9/11 moment.”
5) And with the exception of NV, the GOP voter registration advances continued in June according to Seth Keshel:
PA: Rs+2,923
FL: Rs+40,184 (!!)
IA: Rs+800
NC: Rs+2074
AZ: Rs+474, but most counties have not updated
NV: Ds+1,800
6) As Daniel Balwin on X points out, Trump had an astoundingly good last few weeks:
*stopped Iran from obtaining a nuke
*brokered a ceasefire between Israel and Iran
*facilitated a peace deal between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo
*SCOTUS nuked universal injunction lawfare
*SCOTUS permitted deportations to third countries
*Got NATO to increase defense spending to 5%
*July 4th gas prices are the lowest they’ve been in four years (I just filled up for HALF of what I paid under Rutabaga, or $2.99 per gallon-—and we in Phoenix pay about 20% more than the rest of the state because we get Kollyfornia gas and they get Texas gas
*S&P 500 and NASDAQ close at record highs, while the Dow has surged to 44,800, just 100 short of its all time high
*brokered a trade deal with Vietnam
*UPenn bends the knee on Title IX
*Trump was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize
*U.S. is bringing in record high tariff revenue
7) The ink hadn’t been dry on his BBB signature before Trump floated the truly strange idea of letting illegal farm and hotel workers stay. This was the result of advice from Brook Rollins, the terrible Ag Sec, and was met with a firestorm from the base akin to that with the vax. No idea what he’s thinking on this, but it’s the second time he’s raised the issue.
8) Terrible story: Patriotism reaches record lows. When you begin with 1/3 of the country being a terrorist organization that absolutely hates America, well, there you go.
9) Elon Musk admitted that his “chainsaw” approach to DOGE cuts may have lacked empathy for the employees. No, Mr. Musk, I think it was a badly needed approach.
10) Planned Murderhood lost almost $1 billion in funding in the BBB.
11) Majorie Taylor Greene keeps up the heat on the census fraud and revising the numbers before 2026.
12) The GOP chair of the House intel committee says CIA head John Ratcliffe was engaged in a coverup about the CIA’s involvement in the “muh Russia” hoax. I was assured by a former Congressman I trust that Ratcliffe was a good guy. Beginning to wonder.
IN TRANSOID NEWS
13) Jennifer Sey is correct, and U of Pennsylvania’s “apology” wasn’t an apology at all but a sad rationalization that they complied with the law and the law changed.
14) Meanwhile, the Supes will decide next term what a woman is. That is, they will rule on whether states can ban men from girls events.
IN ECONOMIC NEWS
15) New vehicle sales had their best second quarter since 2021.
16) Contra predictions by MSNBC, hiring shot up by 147,000 (”expected” was 110,000) and unemployment dropped to 4.1%. Now if asswipe Jerome Powell would get off his Trump-hating butt, we’d have the greatest economic boom in history. Equally good, federal jobs declined by 7,000. But wait, it gets even better as American-born employees gained 830,000 jobs while foreign born lost 348,000. And still more, as full-time employees gained 282,000 while part time lost 367,000. WINNING.
17) UPS is trying to get leaner, slashing 20,000 jobs and offering buyouts.
18) Microsoft still isn’t getting the message. After firing 9,000 globally, it asked for 6,000 visas for migrant workers. No, no, no.
IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS
19) This is the Thomas Massie-ism of Europe: the Germans are drilling for oil now, but only to reduce the carbon footprint, and a new paper says that the Euros should import all energy intensive products. Can’t make this up. They get to remain “clean” and “pure” because, you see, “dey are only consumin’ out dere,” not producing.
20) Letters have already started to go out on the final, permanent levels of tariffs on countries that have not negotiated yet.
IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS
21) Actor Michael Madsden, one of the stars of “Kill Bill” and “Reservoir Dogs,” was found dead in his home at age 67.
22) “F1” the movie grabbed $167 million, but it’s apparently had a budget of between $200-300 million. Yikes. Meanwhile, “Jurassic World: Rebirth” came out at $30 million on a budget of $180 million and both need a fantastic Fourth of July box office to recoup costs. Wholesome kids’ movies like “How to Train Your Dragon” ($466 million) and “Lilo and Stitch” ($950 million) appear to have taken over for superhero movies as sure thing hits.
IN CHINA VIRUS NEWS
23) Here is a paper listing over 700 peer reviewed papers that showed China Virus vax harms.
24) In his “Coffee & Covid” column, Jeff Childers offers three different chilling pieces of evidence that oldsters are kicking the bucket, suddenly, and in large numbers. First, Centene, a health care insurer with a heavy portfolio of Obamacare cases, just took a massive hit of $1.8 billion. In short, this was because so many people “died suddenly.” Second, Social Security reported a sudden and dramatic drop in the number of recipients. While some of that may be due to Trump’s purges and deportation of a few illegals, much of it is, again, the “died suddenly” problem. And lastly, he cites the stock charts of a few major funeral home companies. All this, he notes, comes right at the 5 year mark of the China Virus and at the 4 year mark of the vax. Centene’s risk pool is drying up, that is, those people who depended on the gubment for health care and who were the objects of overwhelming vax propaganda. If these dots are connected, there is no federal protection in the world that will save Big Pharma from what’s coming.
25) RFK, Jr. is revolutionizing the vax injury compensation program.
AND FINALLY . . .
26) The 21st century has seen tree cover greatly expand in 60% of US counties, including most American metro areas. I have a Mexican Palm that thinks it’s the Burj Khalifa. This sucker is gigantic.
Barron's a 19 year old college sophomore living at home in Trump Tower with his grandfather. I'm not "getting" Melania's reasoning here as anything other than a convenient excuse not to be in DC.
Praying these reports are true, sweetie!!
Praying for all of these little girls and their families....as well as others missing, from this terrible storm.
CHEMTRAILS.
I watched them form and wash away a town in Iowa a couple years ago.
This has to stop.
Oh, no ... so sorry you had the voltage regulator issue, today, ML.
I’m so thankful a nice cyclist stopped and rendered aid...and, followed you home to make sure you got home, safe. PTL.
Old Blue will get a check up and you two will be On the Road, Again, soon.
Thanks for checking in ... I was wondering where you were. 💙
Sweet dreams, edie!
I enjoyed viewing ALL of the fireworks, with you tonight, too.
Thanks for the reminder on POTUS and FLOTUS’ Bedminster departure, this eve, as well.
Strange sightings are being posted on X.
Turning in .. it’s been an emotional day, here.
God Bless America, President Trump, and ALL who love this great nation.
Thank you for Larry’s news AND for posting the APV.
Good night, stars, and ALL MAGAdonians.
Quite familiar with that 😁
Slainte’
Got to go and calm my dog down in this war zone.

Wonderful news. So happy
It seems to be working for her. 🤷
>>>It seems to be working for POTUS, too.
It also would be rather nice if POTUS & FLOTUS had a more traditional marriage, with her living at the White House like other first ladies.
Ivanka & Jared, Eric & Lara and Tiffany & Michael all seem quite normal as far as good marriages go.
Really regrettable how Don, Jr. & Vanessa split up after a suspicious substance was delivered to them at Trump Tower
Glad that Don and Kimberley Guilfoyle never tied the knot and that she was sent to be Ambassador to Greece.
It’s something how Vanessa is now living with Tiger Woods and I think Kai is dating Tiger’s son.
Wish that Don & Vanessa would reconcile; neither has actually made a good choice so far.
💕You’re so welcome, dear Jane.
Fell asleep for about an hour; now replying to posts
Hope to go back to Dreamland soon.

>>>Did not know about the grandfather but that arrangement makes sense since Barron’s grandmother passed.
<Melania’s parents have lived with her for many years and no other location would probably work.
