Trump escalated ICE crackdowns as Chicago’s mayor ordered police not to aid federal agents, while voter registrations keep shifting Republican across multiple states. The FBI faces backlash for spying on lawmakers, Pam Bondi blasted Democratic senators, and the Supreme Court is set to hear a key election integrity case. The Senate confirmed 107 Trump nominees in one vote, and ICE detained 120 in Oklahoma while DOJ exposed a plot to kill a Border Patrol agent. Economically, Trump hit China with new shipping fees, gold surged near $4,000, crypto spiked, and the U.S. invested in Alaska’s Trilogy Metals. France’s government collapsed, Shell took a $600M biofuels loss, Latin America and Germany saw political violence, and oil output remains strong. Meanwhile, AI’s expansion looms over all industries, most healthcare workers quit COVID shots, and 43,000 pounds of applesauce spilled on an Illinois highway.
1) Straight outta Compton, or, Little Rock where local police would not help enforce federal law in Brown v. Board of Education. I referenced this on Monday, but "Let's Go Brandon" Williams in Bengahzi-by-the-Lake issued orders for police to stand down if they got distress calls from ICE. This terror-loving toadstool should be arrested for obstruction of justice. "Let's Go Brandon" also signed an order creating an ICE free zone---you know, sort of like the Confederates did in 1861 with their "Emancipation Free Zone."
2) Somebody is looking at some internal polls, as the VA AG candidate, Jay Jones, who said he wanted his opponents children dead, has started walking back the comments.
3) Special Counsel Count Dooku (Jack Smith) spied on senators. They are so outraged they are writing sternly worded tweets.
4) Monday we had word of NV shifting back to R with Rs leading in the state now by about 2,300 (a 6,000 net gain since September.) Now we have OR, with a 2,600 R net gain, mostly because of a D 2,300 l0ss. What that tells me is that people are absolutely FLEEING the Party of Terror and do not want to be associated with it. This is now EVERY. SINGLE. STATE that has reported has shifted strongly to the right, while overwhelming D bastions like DE and RI are shifting, but slower.
5) I really don't get this. GOP lawmakers are "outraged" that the FBI was spying on them. But in 2017-18 evidence surfaced at that time that the FBI was using sweeps and illegal FISA wiretaps to spy on several of them, including Marco Rubio.
6) AG Pam Bondi, in testimony before the senate, stuck a pin in the puffadder bloated senators, telling Dick Turban, "I wish you loved Illinois as much as you hate President Trump." Absolutly true. These people remind me of Islamic jihadists. They'd rather strap a suicide vest on their kids than allow them to live in peace with Israel. She also called out the liar Richard Blumenthal, who, shall we say, "enhanced" his Veetnam resume with lies.
7) Seth Keshel reviews a very important case before the U.S. Supreme Court regarding standing. This issue halted almost all election integrity challenges in 2020 and 2022. If the Supes rule correctly, that issue will be fixed moving forward.
8) Trump is adding more green energy cuts as the SpewMore Shutdown continues. Good. Make it excruciatingly painful for DemoKKKrats to stay out.
9) DemoKKKrat pollster Mark Penn warns that the DemoKKKrat Party is being run by the rabid left and that the D.C. crowd is afraid of them.
10) Columbia U. braces for a $20 million fee related to H1B visas.
11) The Senate just confirmed 107 of Trump's nominees in a single vote. This now puts Trump ahead of Rutabaga in confirmations.
12) Oklahoma cops along with ICE detained 120 illlegal criminal invaders.
13) The DOJ says a gang-banger from Benghazi-by-the-Lake offered a hitman $10k to kill a Border Patrol agent.
14) The Administration released no migrants into the U.S. population for the fifth consecutive month.
15) Steak and Shake Restaurants have begun a program of putting up the biggest American flag allowed by local regulations at each of their stores.
16) Chy-na cheats in trade deals through "shipping fees," among other things. So Trump just imposed new shipping fees on every ship coming from Chy-na.
17) Travel disruptions have occurred because of "staffing woes" but no one can say precisely why? Is this a silent protest against the SpewMore Shutdown?
18) This AI insider says that no sector will be left untouched by AI.
19) A time for choosing, as many U.S. companies will have to go against either EU climate spooge rules or violate U.S. laws. My guess is the Euros will take the hit.
20) The U.S. has acquired a stake in Trilogy Metals, a mining company in Alaska with access to cobalt, copper, and gold. Company stock soared over 200%. Speaking of gold, prices rose to nearly $4,000 an ounce and crypto also soared.
21) France's Minister of the Armed Forces Bruno Le Maire quit hours after Macaroni's government stepped down. I have had massages last longer than the French gubment.
22) Shell Oil will take a $600 million hit over the canceled Rotterdam biofuels project. Well, STOP INVESTING IN SPOOGE!
23) Oil production is not slowing down and it sure isn't peaking. 24) Already we have seen several candidates attacked or killed in Latin America. Now in Germany a mayor was stabbed by a gang of men in broad daylight.
25) New details have emerged about the heist of two trucks' worth of tequila for Guy Fieri's restaurant businesses.
26) Nine out of ten healthcare employees stopped getting the China Virus vax.
27) In IL, a semi turned over and left 43,000 pounds of applesauce on the highway. Don't worry: I'm sure Porky Pritzker can lap that up in a few minutes.
