IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) This author thinks that the judicial resistance will fail. I agree, but I think he places way too much faith in the legislative branch doing anything. In six weeks, they have not done a single thing, passed a single bill, or impeached a single judge. Some federal judges are resisting the resist. This one said DOGE could access federal information systems. 2) Meanwhile blue states have filed for a temporary restraining order preventing Trump or DOGE basically from doing anything,

IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) President Trump and Vladimir Putin (Ol' Pootey-poot) have agreed to negotiate the end of the Uke War. Trump is seeking a three-way deal to denuclearize Russia and China. Reagan did this is you recall. Gorby thought he had him: Gorby proposed a 50% cut in all nukes, but with no SDI. Reagan countered:"Well, how about 100%? Only week keep SDI." Gorby said no, Reagan literally folded his binder and left, and Gorby trotted after him yelling "Mr. President, what else could I say?"

IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) This is just sexy right here: "Terrified staff left hysterical as well-drilled DOGE nerds storm hyper 'woke' Department of Education." Oh, and now it's official as Trump is signing an executive order putting DOGE in charge of federal downsizing. This will reportedly empower DOGE to "toss entire agencies" and run the government with only "essential" employees. 2) Trump's FEMA grant director said Pffffft to the judge and ordered the freeze on FEMA grants anyway. 3) Elon Musk says

IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) There will be a battle of the judges for a while until or unless President Trump just goes all Andrew Johnson on them and directly violates one of these orders and says, in essence, "Impeach me." If Congress doesn't, all this ends. This judge, meanwhile, refused to block DOGE's access to the Labor Department. As I keep saying, they are moving sooooooo fast that libs can't mobilize to stop them. For example, President Trump signed an executive order directing an investigation of

IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) In truly blockbuster news, DOGE's USAID releases showed that the DemoKKKrat hive Politico was propped up by millions of dollars of USAID money. The media attempted to portray this as only a few thousand in "subscriptions." Politico received $27 million from gubment agencies in the Rutabaga years. Seriously? Even the older swimsuit editions of Sports Illustrated---you know where they had really hot, really real women, didn't go for those kinds of rates. The left called this a

IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) It literally only took days for the threat of President Trump's tariffs to force change in Canada and Mexico. Both nation's leaders called Trump, backed down, agreed to engage in substantial beefing up of border security. The 10% tariff on Chy-na remains in place and thus Xi hustled to get a meeing with Trump. Meanwhile, El Salvador, with its brilliant young president Nayih Bukele, has agreed to accept violent illegal American criminals in its jails in a sort of international

IN POLITICAL NEWS1) A tragic collision between an Army Blackhawk helicopter and a passenger jet from Wichita, Kansas with numerous skating competitors on board left all dead. Over 60 are presumed dead at this point. Early indicators are that the air controller's station was down a man. Meanwhile, President Trump said the Rutabaga administration "ran the FAA right into the ground," and certainly there is circumstantial evidence that DEI hiring had turned away stacks of candidates. We now learn that

IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) President Trump is kicking ass and cleaning house at U.S. AID agencies that did not immediately follow his executive orders. Good. Clean out this viper's nest. We don't need to spend that money anyway. He also ordered the DoD to build an "Iron Dome" missile defense system such as Israel has (that used Ronald Reagan's SDI tech). Trump also issued an executive order banning chemical castration and medical mutilation of minors and said the nation will no longer support or promote

IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) Probably the most interesting story of the weekend was Columbia's President rejecting a planeload of illegal invaders. Then Trump threatened massive tariffs and a trade war. Bingo! Gustavo Petro suddenly offered his presidential plane to help with the deportations. All in less than 10 hours. Trump's new deportation policy isn't MAGA. It's FAFO! X poster Cynical Publius noted that this may be the first time in history major diplomacy was negotiated through social media. 2) Both

IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) Awesome: President Trump put out a memo putting ALL federal DEI employees on leave. This is the way. He also announced a $400 billion investment in AI. I know, I know, idiot Larry Ellison later claimed he would use mRNA vaxxes with AI (somehow) to stop cancer, but no one is going to take those shots. Meanwhile EVERYONE whether they know it or not is using AI and this is a major move to leap ahead of the ChiComs. It's necessary, and it's here. He also pulled the security details

IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) Obviously the biggest news has been President Trump's inauguration yesterday, which took place in the Capitol Rotunda. In his inaugural speech, he referenced a slew of Executive Orders, instantly undoing everything Rutabaga did and declaring a national emergency at the border and unleashing America's energy giant. He also said that it is the "official policy of the United States that there only two genders," male and female. He pledged to restore America's military as a real

IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) President Trump's inaugural schedule has been released, and yes, on January 20, there is time scheduled to sign a ton of executive orders. Rutabaga will be a dim memory before midnight, and we don't even have dementia. 2) Rutabaga, on his way out, and thinking he was Ike, warned of a "tech-industrial complex" four years after said complex installed him illegally as president. We'll take it under advisement, spoogemitten. Meanwhile, the reviews are in and the Atlantic says

IN POLITICAL NEWS I 1) In the most important news of the day, President Trump and Stephen Miller reviewed over 100 executive orders including numerous border control plans. 2) The funeral of Jimmy Carter saw Barack Obama and President Trump chatting it up and joking while Cackles looks straight ahead, deadpan. Traitor Tuppence offered Trump a limp handshake, but his wife refused to stand. And Rutabaga looked befuddled, as if saying, "What's in the box?" 3) In the so-called "hush money" trial of

IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) An angry Rutabaga crabbed at reporters on the way out the door: "I know more world leaders than any one of you [reporters] have ever met in your whole G . . .damned life." And that's relevant how, Rutabaga? Ya evil Demented Pervert. 2) President Trump promised to "un-ban" the offshore drilling areas that Rutabaga banned. The law is unclear, and hasn't been tested. It will be now. Also, in a wide ranging press conference, Trump said that "all hell" would break loose if the Hamas

IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) The spooge-o-matic masquerading as a judge in New York, Juan Merchan, will do his little sentencing dance on January 10, suggesting he may go with a sentence of "unconditional discharge," in which theoretically the sentence could be brought back in four years---but also which opens the entire case up for appeal. Here is a longer assessment of this weak move. 2) Cackles had to certify President Trump as the winner of the election, but Rutabaga is going to keep U.S. flags at half

IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) Probably the biggest political news of the week involved a pseudo-spat between the anti=H1B visa cadre in Team Trump (J.D. Vance most notably) and the pro-H1B faction led by Musk and Ramaswamy. Before anyone could get too worked up, Musk softened his stance and said the H1B program needed serious reform. My guess is that it will be greatly curtailed, with only a fraction of the current H1Bs issued. Even then, those may come with proof of companies hiring 10:1 native born for

A "missing" GOP congresswoman was finally located in a dementia home. Enough with these freakin' zombies. If you aren't of sound mind---even if it's John Fetterman Massacre with his temporary malady that left him brainless for a while---you need to be OUT.

IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) Trump, Musk, Ramaswamy rally conservative House members to kill the pork-laden (and bad law-laden) House bill. Good. The Johnsonites and the DemoKKKrats failed in their attempt to shield Liz "Clusterbomb" Cheney from prosecution. Salon is very concerned. By the way, the defunct bill had $8 billion to rebuild the Francis Scott Key Bridge. Wait. That was destroyed by private error. Where is the insurance company? 2) Now for the bad news.

When the National Anthem was played, PRESIDENT Trump saluted. Cuz he has always been president, like David, who was anointed to be king even when Saul still sat on the throne without the anointing. 2) There is growing concern about large numbers of drones---from regular "hobby" sized to auto-sized---over New Jersey and New York.

As Led Zeppelin sang, "A change is gonna come." Oh, and the FascistBI front group "Patriot Front" disbanded. Gee, why? Maybe cause with Trump, all the FBI interns are out of work? Oh, and speaking of the FascistBI, a new IG report says that the Fibbies had 29 agitators at the Capitol in Patriot Day, Jan 6. 2)
