Government shut down after Democrats blocked funding, with most voters blaming Congress, not Trump. Major headlines include Trump winning a $24.5M YouTube settlement, Pam Bondi ordering FBI protection for ICE, and Trump calling for probes into FBI agitators on J6. NJ’s GOP candidate Ciattarelli is gaining ground, Nevada dropped sanctuary status, and polls show majority support for deportations. Cultural fights hit Northwestern and UPenn over antisemitism and Charlie Kirk comments, while half of U.S. states face insolvency, EV demand stalls, Pfizer cut drug costs, and Tricolor collapsed. Internationally, Netanyahu backed Trump’s Gaza plan, Ireland will pay migrants to leave, Taiwan arrested a Chinese billionaire, and Brazil bulldozes jungle for a climate summit. Other notes: a possible alien object spotted, Nicole Kidman divorcing Keith Urban, Tylenol autism concerns confirmed in old docs, and a Korean study links COVID vaccines to cancer risk—while Biden reportedly needs photo reminders of top figures.
1) The gubment shut down after DemoKKKrats blocked a funding bill. Pollster Mark Mitchell of Rasmussen finds 67% blame Congress, not Trump. And the New York Slimes says 65% oppose a shutdown. Some see the SpewMore shutdown as an attempt to fend off the "far left." Yeah, but the DemoKKKrat Party now is entirely "far left" terrorists.
2) AG Pam Bondi directed the FBI and other agencies to protect ICE facilities.
3) The Punisher, Pete Hegseth, declared war on wokism in the military and told the military, from the lowest private to the top generals, to get in shape. He is sick of seeing "fat generals." Their goal is to win wars.
4) President Trump said that the presence of 274 "undercover" FBI agitators on J6 (Patriot Day) demands an investigation of Smarmy Christopher Wray.
5) HHS is seeking to revive the ban on fed funding to Harvard due to "inaction" on complying with federal civil rights laws.
6) Youtube agreed in a settlement to pay President Trump $24.5 million. Trump will use it for National Mall beautification. I guess his Presidential Library is pretty well paid for now. As Trump said, "censorship has consequences."
7) Financier Howard Rubin was arrested on sex trafficking charges. Hmm. Wonder where that tip came from? (Epstein).
8) Even the Atlantic now admits left-wing violence is the problem.
9) In NJ the R Ciattarelli is running ahead of the DemoKKKrat firewall by about 15,000 ballots and currently is modeled to win. Stay tuned. Oh, and NJ Rs net gained 6,000 last month, slashing 50,000 off the D lead from Nov. 2024. And polls are polls but for what it's worth, this generic poll has Rs with a 6-point lead. And for what it's worth, this poll has Ciattarelli now leading by 2, a 10-point shift in 30 days.
10) Nevada became the first state to get off President Trump's sanctuary state list, with NV governor Joe Lombardo promising full compliance and assistance with ICE.
11) This illegal arrested by ICE was a voter in MD. Of course, MD "has no idea how this happened." You know, DemoKKKrats, you might actually get somewhere with honesty. "Sure we imported voters. Just win, baby."
13) Some 56% of Americans support Trump's deportations.
14) What is it with UT now? There was a "suspicious" package that was detonated in a controlled explosion at Utah State U just before a TPUSA event.
15) So the next university to see funding withheld will be Northwestern, as hundreds of its so-called "students" refuse to watch an antisemitism training film. They ought to be forced to sit through both "Night and Fog" and "Shindler's List."
16) Speaking of useless "educators," a UPenn Provost (this is a t $250,000 or higher job) has had to resign after likening Charlie Kirk to 'Hitler Youth." Oh, and this big scalp as the moronic Michael Mann of the global warming "hockey stick" has also had to resign from UPenn due to his Charlie Kirk hate speech.
17) Half of US states don't have the money to pay their bills. That was by design, as they expected they could leverage the votes of illegals to stay in power forever and thereby tax the red states. Meanwhile, on day 1 of the gubment shutdown, OMB director Russ Voight froze $18 billion in NY "infrastructure" spending.
18) Another sign that the demand for EVs is stalling, as the U.S. gubment has to step in to subsidize a lithium mine. The price of copper is not moving much, either, causing the ChiComs to curb production growth.
19) Trump unveiled a deal with Pfizer to lower drug costs.
20) The EPA is cleaning up the toxic ion-lithium dump at the battery factory in Groomer City (SF).
21) This should get the Fed off its ass: ADP payroll estimates fell by 32,000. At some point, all this massive investment and building will begin paying off in jobs. But when?
22) Auto funder/supplier Tricolor just went belly up. Get those damned prices down. Make far less capable, tricked-out cars that people can maintenance themselves, and drop those prices.
23) Benjamin Netayahu endorsed President Trump's multi-point peace plan for Gaza. I love my president but someone needs to tell him that you cannot make peace with the Hamas Murder Pirates.
24) Ireland just the latest to try to close the barn door after the immigration horse got out. Now they are going to pay illegal asylum seekers to leave. Ha. Good luck. You'd be better off finding an immigrant version of St. Patrick, like St. Padmash to lead the illegals out.
25) Taiwan arrested a ChiCom billionaire (does anyone see the inanity of that phrase?) for operating an illegal business.
26) Total idiocy here, even if you believe in the climate change hoax: Brazil is bulldozing a giant swath through the jungle so that it can host the climate change confab---where already nations are pulling back from.
27) Gee, now that the US won't pay for it, the globalists may not be able to afford their climate change spoogefest in Brazil this year.
28) An astrophysicist says that a giant object hurtling toward our solar system may be alien technology. That's a relief. It means it won't be randomly hitting us.
29) Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are getting divorced after 19 years of marriage.
30) Oh? I thought this was just Trump and Bobby Kennedy being crazy: internal documents show the maker of Tylenol was concerned about an autism link as early as seven years ago.
31) How is this for a Hoax News headline? "COVID Vaccine may 'Raise the Risk of Cancer,' Contentious Study claims." Now, why is that "contentious?" Did the Daily Mail or ANY Hoax News org call a single one of the flawed pro-vax studies "contentious," even though they were? Yet we had this Korean study that said that the vaxxes had a higher cancer risk. And that study only looked at the results for one year after getting the murder shot.
We knew Rutabaga was a demented doddering pants-filled chumbucket, but now it appears he needed photo reminders of who SpewMore and Cankles were. Ok, I get Cankles, Nobody wants to remember that harpy's evil face.
