Episode Summary

Trump’s riding high — record fentanyl busts, caravans turned back, and 1.6 million new followers in a month while Democrats fumble for a strategy. Courts are blocking his education cuts, but DEI walls are already crumbling. On the culture front, California schools are rebelling over bathroom policies, Jersey’s pushing rainbow storytime for first graders, and mainline Protestantism is aging out fast. The economy’s wobbling with housing alarms, oil layoffs, lawsuits hitting Shell and Google, and mortgage rates dipping as jobs crawl. Overseas, Xi, Putin, and Kim are caught plotting while Europe wrestles with shady deaths, corruption, and street unrest. Meanwhile, Hollywood tanks so hard a 50-year-old shark movie beat the new releases, Florida nukes vax mandates, and yes — a lawyer named Mark Zuckerberg is suing Mark Zuckerberg. Buckle up — the week’s chaos is here.

Episode Notes

IN POLITICAL NEWS


 

1) I do have a tiny shred of sympathy for the DemoKKKrats over at "Liberal Patriot," who, having failed to get any interest in the "abundance economy" or "good management of cities," how are down to "When Trump Screws Up." This is not a strategy. They admit that redistricting isn't the DemoKKKrats' problem (though they fail to point out that the most likely outcome after MO has convened today to take up the issue will be an R gain of 7-8 NET seats after Kollyfornia, or a lock on 219 in the House. Not only does this view fail to ask, "What if Trump doesn't screw up? How do DemoKKKrats win back voters?" but puts Ds in the position of hating and working against success in immigration, the economy, peace, and so on.


 

2) Here is another way Trump is just crushing the DemoKKKrats. Team Trump signed up 1.6 million new social media followers in August and has 200 million more than DemoKKKrats.


 

3) Supposedly the "missing minute" of the Epstein videos was found. No one yet says what's on it. And on Capitol Hill, St. Thomas of Spooge is losing support for a discharge petition of the Epstein list as Speaker Johnson says the House Oversight Committee will produce more info than on the list.


 

4) Meanwhile, over at the Waffen SS (Stupid Senate), the moronic Tim Candy Kaine, who looks like a serial killer, said that the idea that "our rights come from God is troubling." Well, Candy, take it up with fellow Virginian. You know, the one who wrote the Declaration? That Jefferson guy.


 

5) Trump has officially renamed the Defense Department the War Department.


 

6) The U.S. seized the largest cache of fentanyl from Chy-na ever---1300 barrels in Houston. Not one DemoKKKrat came out in praise of this.


 

7) Another useless porkpuncher of a judge puts a hold on Trump's freeze of Big Ed money to Harvard. This will be struck down. Getting old. There need to be serious penalties for judges who are overruled, like a docking of pay or time out.


 

8) Congresswoman Harriet (the Clusterbomb Cheney slayer) Hageman says BBB 2 is coming that will prioritize energy and immigration. Ok, as long as you keep legislating Trump's agenda into place.


 

9) Well, well. Remember how the National Guard in D.C. were to be temporary? Yeah, thanks Congress. Congress is voting against an extension, even while the National Guard has its orders extended through December. In the video, there was some confusion as this was in two contradictory stories.


 

10) Emory is the latest university to wave the white flag regarding President Trump's DEI policies.


 

11) Kash Patel announced that the FBI had foiled another shooting plot, this one in NC. Recall that the week of the transoid MN shooter an attempt was foiled in D.C.


 

IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS


 

12) Trump's border policies have been so successful that 97% of the caravans turned back, including a recent one of 14,000.


 

13) An appeals court slapped down the goofball judge who closed Alligator Alcatraz.


 

IN CULTURAL NEWS


 

14) The Great Ryan Burge: mainline Protestantism isn't just shrinking. It's aging. Only 2% of mainliners are 18-35.


 

15) Delta Airlines will now use "Gulf of America."


 

IN TRANSOID NEWS


 

16) Christopher Rufo is right: transoidism ends in nihilism and self-hate, which usually is turned on others first before the spoogebrained sexually-infected moldmonkeys shoot themselves.


 

17) The smallest of rebellions against transoid policies has started in Kollyfornia, where both students and faculty walked out in protest of Temecula Valley's mixed bathroom policies


 

18) New Jersey DemoKKKrats are introducing indoctrination legislation to force kids as young as 6 to listen to transoid/homosexual fairly tales. No opt out.


 

IN ECONOMIC NEWS


 

19) Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says we may be heading for a national housing emergency this fall (leaving unspoken "If the Fed doesn't get its head out of its ass").


 

20) Falling crude oil prices are good for consumers, but Conoco-Phillips is cutting workforce.


 

21) President Trump has ordered his whole administration to join the war on offshore wind. President Trump said he is going to block the New England wind project. (Good).


 

22) The DOJ has issued subpoenas in the case of Fed Reserve governor Lisa Cook who is accused of multiple counts of mortgage fraud.


 

23) People keep buying despite retailers' higher prices (Note:: Reuters cites a "sobering" effect of tariffs, yet the Reuterette insists they are affecting sales. Go figure.


 

24) Shell Oil is being sued by white Houston applicants for security positions who were passed over because of race.


 

25) This is pocket change, but it opens the door for similar very important suits about privacy: Google has to pay $425 million for tracking people who switched off their apps.


 

26) The 30-year mortgage rate dropped again, now at 6.64%. Still too high. Got my house at 2.9%. But, as Herman's Hermits sang, "This could be the start of something big. But the jobs report of only 22,000 jobs added is moving the Fed to a 50 basis point cut. Remember some of this is the fact that the Bureau of Labor Stats is using real numbers now, not phony Rutabaga/Zero numbers.


 

27) Another Muslim creep was arrested in MN in the "Feeding Our Future" scam---making 74 indicted.


 

28) New sextortion spyware watches you watching porn.


 

IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS


 

29) Interesting that there are a lot of Iraqis on the "leading scholars association" that damned Israel for its policies in Gaza.


 

30) Hun Chancellor Mertz and the EU octarectums do not seem to understand they are heading into the financial equivalent of Vormir.


 

31) A hot mic caught Xi, Pootie-poot, and little Rocket Man chatting about living forever and harvesting organs to do it. Oh, you little dweebtoters: you are gonna live forever, but not any place you will like. Meanwhile, President Trump saw this little cabal as an anti-US conspiracy, which it is.


 

32) President Trump told foreign countries there will be an additional tariff if they accept the idiotic UN ship fuel emissions deal.


 

33) Hun SS are up to their old tricks. Remember a few days ago I had a story about four AfD candidates mysteriously dying in Germany? Make it six, as two "reserve" candidates also just croaked. Hun storm troopers boarded a Disney cruise ship to nab a Canuck who didn't pay his parking fines. I'm serious. After he paid, he was allowed to return to the ship.


 

34) Tensions are rising in the UK, with an Indian communiuty center and several foreigners' cars burned. I do not condone this. It is exactly what happens when the gubmen doesn't handle things.


 

35) In some ways, I guess the Brits are like us. The Labour Party is corrupt, the Tory/Conservatives are stupid and boring. The Deputy PM (Labour) resigned after failing to pay property taxes. But Mediocre Britain is headed for Pathetic Britain, as a gubment committee to "protect girls" (good luck, Islamic Republic) found that the cops were participating in rape gangs. No one prosecuted yet.


 

IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS


 

36) After winning four gold medals and a silver medal in three different Olympics, diver Greg Louganis had money problems, sold the medals and moved to Panama.


 

36) This has to be shocking to Hollywood. "Jaws," a 50 year old movie, beat out numerous new releases over the Labor Day weekend. There has been a dramatic fall off of American movies' audiences in Asia, while now some 30+ percent of the U.S. audience say they will wait for any movie to go streaming.


 

IN MEDICAL NEWS


 

37) FL will become the first state to eliminate all childhood vax mandates. Liberals, vaxiopaths, maskiopaths shriek! Thanks to FL Surgeon Gen. Joe Ladapo who made the announcement. This is huge, not merely because FL is the first, but because it's BIG. Would have been different if it was South Dakota. Ladapo likened being forced to take a vax you don't want to slavery. It is now questionable not only if vaxxes saved lives, but if they did, did they kill more than they "saved?" Now, OR, WA, and Kollyfornia say they are forming an "alliance" to buck whatever Bobby's CDC says. Go for it. Let's see where you are without fed money, ya evil jackscratchers. Oh, and Bobby testified before Congress (if you call it that---they don't allow him to answer) and said firing Monarez was necessary to restoring the CDC to the "gold standard." By the way, there is a fix for this outrageous speechifying by Congress in so-called hearings: allow a witness to have one additional minute for every minute of their answering time that is taken up with a speech.


 

38) A full 64% of adults believe that childhood vaxxes cause autism or don't know yet, meaning the "Hell, no, they don't" crowd is now just comprised of DemoKKKrat Terrorists. Oh, and following RFK's masterful deconstruction of the Waffen Senate Spoogies (SS) yesterday, HHS said that the FDA will now make all drug rejection letters public. Wow. "We regret to inform you . . . . because in your trial 90% of those who took your drug died or became homosexuals."


 

39) MA has said that no matter what the CDC says, it will require insurance companies to cover vaxxes. 1) that's a lawsuit; 2) that ensures that some insurers will just leave North Korea, er, MA.


 

40) So sick. This surgeon was indicted for insurance fraud after amputating his own legs in a sexual fetish.


 

41) The DOJ is considering, as the hoaxified media spouted, "a gun ban on transoids." Well, not really. There are already laws that people whose mental capacity is that of Charles Manson or Rutabaga cannot own weapons. All Bondi is doing is looking to add transoidism---a clear mental disease---to the crazy list. But wait, Orange Man Bad strikes again, as in a panicked DemoKKKrat "influencer" meeting a debate broke out about whether DemoKKKrats should support gun rights. Trust me, somehow before all this is over, President Trump will have the leftoid colonsprockets joining Pentecostal Churches and singing the praises of Russell Kirk. But it is worth reading. One of the more expanded chats show the harpygoblin JoJo saying "This is about my LIVELIHOOD" (i.e., screaming to white women).


 

AND FINALLY . . .


 

42) A lawyer named Mark Zuckerberg has sued Meta ("Meta" means death in Hebrew) over repeated shutdowns that claim he is impersonating Mark Zuckerberg. You know, the owner of death? "I'm special agent Johnson. This is agent Johnson, no relation."
