Episode Notes

IN POLITICAL NEWS


 

1) Charlie Kirk was shot at an event in Utah. Word as I recorded this is that he is dead. Suspect in custody. Getting to a boiling point where people are not gonna take it. MSNBC said it could have been a "supporter shooting off a gun." Yeah, sort of like Ryan "Baby" Routh or that decaying slimepocket Thomas Crooks. This one will send shockwaves, and I'm guessing they won't be pretty and they won't be "change at the ballot box."


 

2) In what is turning into the 2025 version of the Kate Steinle killing, a beautiful Ukrainian immigrant was stabbed to death on a Charlotte light rail. Iryna Zarutska was minding her own business when a bottom-feeding criminal with 14 charges stabbed her. No one helped her. We now have a victim's list of Iryna, Kate, and Lakin Riley (whom Rutabaga could not even bother to name, just as the dumbo Charlotte mayor couldn't manage to say Iryna's name. As the U.S. attorney for the Western District of North Carolina aptly stated, there is no "other side" to this. "Is the opposite side let's let murderers on our light rail?" The DOJ has also charged the feral Decarlos Brown. This, in turn, may mean the death penalty for Buster Brown, who deserves it. And quickly. But it was typical of Hoax News coverage that even when they managed to mention the victim, it was done so in the typical "Republicans pounce." As Jeff Childers notes, when DemoKKKrats are involved in hideous stuff, that is never the headline. It's always how Republicans are going to pounce on the DemoKKKrat vileness. For example, the Wall Street Urinal at first ran the headline "Woman's Stabbing Death Becomes MAGA Talking Point" before changing it to "After Fatal Stabbing of Ukrainian Refugee, Trump Says U.S. Must Confront Crime Problem." But based on the latest murders, rapes, an all around anti-social spoogism, it seems we have a black on white or illegal on American problem. Never fear, the ever reliable minVan Jones says the incident wasn't racial but the official Black Looters Matter account says that these rectal pimples have a right to violence. Oh, and Trump isn't finished with D.C. as an investigation revealed a massive scandal in D.C. crime stats.


 

3) Slowly but surely President Trump is winning all these battles. The Supes just "let" him freeze $5 billion in foreign aid giveaways.


 

4) I saw no celebration of this from either our "influencers" or the Hoax News Media. Border Czar Tom Homan says they have found over 22,000 missing children, including 27 of those deceased.


 

5) Seth Keshel argues that barring a remarkable alliance of Curtis Sliwa, Eric the Red Adams, and Nipplepin Venthoarder (Andrew Cuomo), the Amazing Zohran will almost certainly be elected, many people in New Kabul (NYC) will suffer, but that it will remined everyone how horrible socialism is. Great Seth, but I wish it would remind them how horrible radical Islam is, because this prostate-balloon is every bit as much a Muslim threat as was Khan in London. Speaking of which, the Amazing Zohran spent years supporting a rapper who "worshipped" a 9/11 hijacker.


 

6) DemoKKKrats are having more wars, this time over who will replace some of the dinosaurs. Progs vs. establishment.


 

7) Some Hoax News polls are showing President Trump's approval in the mid-40s, but this UK Daily Mail poll has him at 55%, which I think is probably closer to reality.


 

8) Gruesome, the moronic Kollyfornia governor, wants to do away with the "myth" of clean and sober, suggesting is it not possible for addicts. So Gruesome gives up on yet another reality, that to reduce the druggie and homeless population, you actually have to get them off drugs.


 

9) John Bolton is being investigated specifically for violations of the espionage act. The contents of his house were, to say the least, disturbing.


 

10) The more we learn about the Rutabaga administration, the more evil it looks. Now new evidence from the Demented Pervert's Department of Education, which targeted Christian higher education and focused on controlling school boards. We also have new evidence that the DOJ warned Rutabaga about the autopen pardons, saying that claims many of the felons were nonviolent were untrue. Rutabaga did not even review the warrants. Aides said he outsourced approval to Cackles. Oh, and we also learned that Rutabaga's DoD funded $2.5 billion in research tied to the ChiComs. Not against them. With them.


 

11) A $100 million assault case against Rutabaga that the Hoax News media wouldn't cover has been expanded to include Jill and Hunter. Bankrupt these fleshtubes. Meanwhile, Rutabaga isn't getting any love from Cackles, who called his run "reckless" in her new book. Yeah, Cackles can write well enough to sign a check to a ghostwriter.


 

12) A new book from Howard Husak found that the leftoid push for public housing was responsible for much of the black/white wealth gap due to forcing blacks into long-term living conditions that, unlike single family houses, did not allow them to build wealth. Blacks make up 42% of the public housing population and are nearly half the population to receive housing vouchers. This isn't temporary: the author found that 73% stay in public housing 10 years or more.


 

13) North Carolina continues to trend R, as the latest voter registration numbers show another GOP gain, this time of 1150 net, bringing the D lead down to just 14,000 now (down from 175,000 in 2020) and a GOP LEAD of 94,000 among active voters.


 

14) Chicagoans support Trump sending in troops to stop crime, while Porky Pritzker and Let's Go Brandon Johnson oppose. This is a variation of DemoKKKrat Civil War #1, namely the inner city residents vs. illegal criminal invaders. Trump has dispatched ICE raids to stop the thugoleons. At the same time, the Supes lifted the restrictions on ICE agents in New Azteca (LA). And DEA has netted 23 Sinaloa Cartel lint-pickers.


 

15) As I said at the time, the B-2 raids on Iran were 100% successful, and Iran has no path forward to nukes.


 

16) Shocked I tell ya. Boston's first Muslim/African city councilwoman was senteneced to jail for an illegal kickback scheme.


 

IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS


 

17) As many of us have known for years, we are living in alternate universes of media coverage, as the Hoax News Media won't even cover the illegal alien colonmonkey who stabbed a Ukrainian refugee to death on a train. Yah, public transpo is just soooooo safe. Remember her name: Iryna Zarutska. The Media sure won't tell you, just as they never wanted to mention the name Lakin Riley. Rutabaga, in a presser, had to be shamed into actually saying her name, then fumbled it. Now you have this fecalbiscuit on Hoax News, Matt Dowd, a disgusting Bushie, who says Charlie Kirk did it to himself.


 

18) US Attorney for D.C., Jenanine Pirro will no longer prosecute people who have "high capacity" magazines, calling the law unconsatitutional.


 

19) The Bureau of Immigration Appeals gave ICE the go-ahead to deport any illegal without bond.


 

20) There was a bust at the big Hyundai plant in Georgia, with 475 arrested, many Koreans.


 

IN CULTURAL NEWS


 

21) Good review here on the rise of conservative media. There are far more voices, many good ones, than we had just 10 years ago. The scales have tipped some, and Skydance, which has acquired CBS, demands it become much more diverse with a powerful opposition presence (i.e., us) and become more fair. One of the problems, though, is that while there are more conservative voices overall, they are diffuse and since the rapid collapse of the Tuckster, Tucker Carlson as a reliable voice, there still is no new "Rush Limbaugh" on the horizon.


 

22) Kyrene School District Phoenix, despite a rapidly growing population, is preparing a new list of public schools to close with continued falling enrollments.


 

23) Meanwhile, President Trump has issued new guidance on protecting prayer in school.


 

24) Researchers have created a shoe-box-sized computer with live human brain cells.


 

25) When the Supes legalized homosexual marriage, in essence, I predicted to my students that it would immediately result in an explosion of polygamy. Silly me. I thought they would go through that step first but noooo. The lunatics skipped over man/woman marriage in any form and went straight to trannyism.


 

26) AI is now sending some users to suicide or psych wards.


 

IN TRANSOID NEWS


 

27) These are some brave girls. A Hollywood girls volleyball team has filed suit against a male transoid interloper.


 

IN ECONOMIC NEWS


 

28) Confounded Interest says, "Stay with the Mortgage Market!" Demand is rising.


 

29) He's been right so far: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says that the economy should take off in the fourth quarter, which would be about the same as Reagan's 1981 timetable.


 

30) We have had massive jobs revisions (911,000 over about a year) showing what lies the Rutabaga administration was pumping out. Now we are getting honest, real data.


 

31) Producer inflation unexpectedly fell in August.We now officially have "deflation."


 

IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS


 

32) Japanese PM Shigeru Ishiba has resigned.


 

33) At first it looked like little Greedo Thunderberger's boat was shot at, til a closer look revealed that one of the eco-morons shot off a flare that started the firs.


 

34) Lloyds of London has scrapped its net zero policies. Winning.


 

35) Try as they might, the Mediocre Brit gubment cannot stifle dissent about immigrants and the dual system of justice there, with people being arrested for tweets, memes, and any other free expression. The latest violator, mural-painted Banksy just unveiled a new stealth wall art of a judge beating a civilian with the law. Of course, England does NOT have the "four pillars" of American exceptionalism and thus is always just a hair away from tyranny.


 

36) Not much better in Frogland, where the French have a debt level 114% over their GDP. Heck in the US, it's only 100%---but falling. No wonder they booted out their gubment.


 

37) The insane Spanish PM regrets that he doesn't have nukes to use against Israel.


 

38) They are desperately trying to keep "global warming" alive, now blaming it on poor people drinking sugary drinks and eating ice cream


 

39) Israel has signed a strategic bilateral agreement with India. Israel also launched attacks on a Hamas Murder Pirate confab in Qatar.


 

IN INTERGALACTIC NEWS


 

40) The House hearings on UFOs or, as the new term has it, "UAPs" (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena" showed a military video where an American aircraft shot a Hellfire missile at one of these things. As they said in "Independence Day," "They got shields!" The missile blew up/exploded/shattered with no visible damage to the UFO before it left the building. Once again, as Jeff Childers opines, the House hearings are doing one thing: they are further weakening gubment credibility.

IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS


 

41) Kind of a happy ending here as Oliver North and his one time secretary, Fawn Hall, married. Both their spouses had died.


 

42) The Free Press is being acquired by Paramount for $100 million.


 

43) This is the way. West Point will no longer have a ceremony honoring Tom Hanks.


 

44) Supertramp co-founder Rick Davies, dead at age 81. I wonder if he'll take the long way home?


 

IN MEDICAL NEWS


 

45) A new peer-reviewed study shows the Pfizer and Moderna vaxxes have residual DNA contamination some 627 TIMES the safety limit.


 

46) In the uproar over RFK's testimony last week, few noticed that the FDA is releasing a report on child deaths from the China Virus vaxxes. Yeow!


 

47) President Trump and Bobby K are ending some Big Pharma's advertising. They continue to chop down Big Pharma one regulation at a time.


 

48) A study by the Ford Hospital, hidden for five years, compared vaxxed vs. unvaxxed and found that the vaxxed were 40 points higher in chronic disease among kids, and had 453% more cases of neurodevelopmental disorders. This led President Trump to continue t0 shift against Warp Speed and to declare the vaxxes were "poison."


 

49) The New York Slimes had an astounding article on why more older people are dying from falls, and never once raised the possibility that, gee, they are the most vaxxed group in the Solar System.


 

AND FINALLY . . .


 

In light of the extraordinarily heinous news over the last couple of days, I think we'll discard the humor today. Pray for Charlie Kirk's family.
