Charlie Kirk’s Phoenix memorial drew massive crowds and millions online, with Ben Carson announcing Trump will award him the Medal of Freedom. Voter registrations are swinging Republican in key states, early voting favors the GOP, and Trump rolled out bold immigration reforms, including a $100k H1B fee and a $1M “gold card” fast track. Economic signs show oil and minerals expanding, TikTok security shifting to U.S. firms, and markets climbing. Internationally, Britain, Australia, and Canada plan to recognize a Palestinian state, China cracked down further on whistleblowers, and Greenpeace faces backlash over costly green policies. Domestically, ICE arrests surged, polls show rising division and tolerance of political violence, and reports tie Pfizer’s vaccine to higher heart attack risks. Entertainment, cultural, and lifestyle notes round it out—from happier religious Americans to Kimmel losing support to advice on big dog adoptions.
1) The memorial service in Phoenix, AZ, for Charlie Kirk, was gigantic. All of the State Farm Stadium was full, even seats on the playing field. Some 200,000 more were in overflow. Numbers range from 150,000 to 300,000 with over 100 million streaming views. Kirk's pastor gave an invitation, and hundreds were saved. Speaker Ben Carson noted that Kirk was shot at 12:24 pm. He looked up John 12:24:
2) Speaking of Dr. Carson, Trump will award him the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Well deserved, sir. But in the meantime, Kirk's memorial made clear the spiritual war that is going on in America right now.
3) For what it's worth, the South African prophet Kim Clement, who accurately prophesied Trump's election in 2016 (Kim is now dead), said a woman would arise to lead the nation, and that the healing would start in the . . . schools. He said the woman would lead a "new party" and would arise in the midst of Trump's term.
4) If I could list/post all the haters that I alone have encountered on X, there wouldn't be enough space on my hard drive. Here is just one, a NJ teacher fired for saying some people have to die. Meanwhile, another DemoKKKrat shooter at a NH wedding, this moronic toejam shouted "Free Palestine." Dear fungaltoad: first, there is not such thing as Palestine; second, why don't the Arab states take in the Pales and "free" them? and third, what would they do with "freedom?" Many of the other Islamic garden spots are festering manure piles.
5) Seth Keshel has the latest voter registration updates: Maricopa Co., AZ, now is R=195,000, or 85,000 more Rs than the WHOLE STATE in 2020. All counties haven't reported, but Pima (deep blue DemoKKKrat stronghold is DOWN by 4,000; In just the first few weeks of this month (i.e., the Charlie Kirk effect) PA Rs have gained another 5,400, bringing the D lead down to 169,000 (It was 1.1 MILLION in 2012).
6) Definitely not good numbers in this poll, but I'm afraid that right now, it's accurate. One side or the other must win this decisively as the great Rush Limbaugh used to say. Some 37% of Americans say they hate people with opposing views, and 21% say violence against the other side is ok. What do you know? That 37% is right at the number of DemoKKKrats in this country.
7) DemoKKKrats are so screwed (volume 139). They can't do a deal with Republicans on the budget because their terrorist base would likely literally kill them, but they don't dare shut down the gubment, either. Now they want Trump to bail them out. NO.
8) Trump withdrew the nomination of Eric Siebert as AG of the Eastern District of VA who was plodding and resistant in his prosecution of Letitia James.
9) President Trump, in a move that shocked Big Tech, reset the annual H1B fee to $100,000 from $1,000. That, according to Jeff Childers, "wrestled the out-of-whack incentives back to where they should be." Trump then unveiled a "fast track gold card" for $1 million that allowed someone to jump to the front of the line to be vetted and reviewed---it did not get them an automatic visa. But it had to be in the form of a gift to the U.S., thereby not requiring a new law. Also, it streamlined the bureaucratic process. Taken together, as Childers notes, this is true "Immigration Reform."
10) In PA early voting, Rs are 7 points ahead of where they were in 2021, Ds 7 points behind. With a long way to go, Winsome Sears-Earle---who had been given up for dead in the VA governor's race---made a shocking comeback and now Republican counties are turning out much heavier than DemoKKKrat counties. Meanwhile, The Hill now warning DemoKKrats they are losing da youts. Normally I'd say "shhhhh," but it doesn't matter. The DemoKKKrats are now in their kamikaze seats, and they have neither reverse gear, landing gear, nor parachutes.
11) Federal charges against the man who murdered Iryna Zarutska mean the death penalty is in play.
12) The kids of DemoKKKrat OR Senator Ron Wyden drove an assistant to suicide with sexually explicit behavior and homosexual slurs. Huh? I thought DemoKKKrats were down with the homosexual struggle?
13) Nine states have cloud-seeding operations.
14) DemoKKKrat candidates were part of a crowd blocking a road outside of an ICE facility. Throw them in with the illegal criminal alien invaders.
15) ICE arrested 550 in Benghazi-by-the-Lake (Chicago).
16) The great Ryan Burge shows that religious people are happier than non-religious.
17) The Pentagon hails the restart of a critical minerals mine in Idaho.
18) A final deal for Tik Tok hands over security and data algorithms to US. companies.
19) US oil rig counts are on the rise. And Exxon-Mobile has expanded its off-shore Guyana operations.
20) H1Bs? Supposedly this will hurt corporate America, but the markets are marching upward, with Intel gaining 23% in the week.
21) Not surprised: a German shopowner has put up a sign banning Jews from his store.
22) In a monumental error, Mediocre Britain, Australia, and Canada are going to recognize a "Palestinian state." There is no such thing, but this puts those nations entirely on the side of Moloch and against God.
23) A Chinese whistleblower, hit with four years in prison for sounding the Covid alarm, has been resentence to another four years. This is what DemoKKKrats would do to you if they ever get in power again.
24) Arctic sea ice is where it was in 2012 when it "bottomed out." No more shrinkage.
25) Greenpeace, losing the PR war everywhere, is back to trying to sue "polluters" out of business. This study says that already the "green" movement cost the world $28 trillion. Now, just ponder that: how many safe, clean, small nuclear reactors would we have built? How many road improvements that would save gas mileage could we have made? The "Green" left is desperately trying to drive the poorest nations into mass death. Oh, Irena Slav points out that literally there were no stories of hurricanes this year.
26) Imagine that. Rapper producer Damon Dash told Charlemagne the God he was way off on Trump.
27) Here is a video of the Hamas Murder Pirates executing "Israeli collaborators" in the street.
28) Apparently no one stands with JImmy Kimmel, as the comments on the new Mandalorean trailer are pretty good. No boycott there.
29) It's slow. The CDC said people should only take the China Virus vax after talking with a health care provider. But we saw during the pandemic how much we could trust them. Nevertheless, the vax-resistance window is being opened an inch at a time.
30) A large China Virus vax study of Virginians in 2022 found a 36% higher rate of heart attacks in people who took the Pfizer vax.
31) A friend is adopting a dog. A big dog. He is not, well, young. My advice, having rescued now seven doggies over a 30 year period, is as follows:
*Big breeds like Labs and retrievers are wonderful, loving animals. But they are BIG. Retrievers shed like crazy. Get one, but be prepared---if you have stairs---to carry a 50-pound or 75-pound dog up and down stairs if they are sick.
*Remember also that when walking on a leash, a big dog---even well trained ones---can bolt or see something that upsets them. You are both morally and legally required to have control of your dog at all times. Ask yourself, "If Bobo bolts for the mailman, can I restrain him?" (A relative of Napoleon died in Central Park after tripping over a dog's leash).
*Can you afford your dog? I don't just mean food---our bills on a monthly basis are $100 for food alone---but vet bills. We spent a good $2000 on a Chihuahua I rescued off the street. She had a lot of problems, and died of an aneurism after only a year.
Get the right dog and you'll all be happy. And despite getting a nice little dog in JJ, I still miss my Stanley.
