The News of Today is the History of Tomorrow

IN POLITICAL NEWS

1) Could be the biggest news story since the attempted assassination of President Trump: The president of Smartmatic, a voting machine company, was indicted today with three others for vote fraud in the 2016 Philippine elections. Smartmatic only had machines in Los Angeles County in 2020, but this may unravel quickly. Suffice it to say, in the past they had machines in Venezuela.

2) Governor Glenn Youngkin is doing everything he can to ensure that President Trump gets a fair shot at Virginia this cycle. First he ordered that the USPS provide tracking on all mail-in ballots, then today he ordered that all votes be cast by paper ballot. Keep it up gov. Before you know it we'll be doing all our voting on Election Day again.

3) Tampon Timmie pushed back on his lying about his National Guard service, only to have the Guard itself produce the records. Apparently the Cackles campaign thinks he's a liar because they scrubbed all mention of his military record from their website.

4) Meanwhile, President Trump and Cackles agreed to an ABC debate, on September 10, but with new moderators.

5) It's Seymour Hersh, so take with a grain of salt, but Botoxic claimed credit for pushing Rutabaga out.

6) Reading the tea leave that President Trump is going to win, governors across the nation are purging the DemoKKKrat-heavy deceased voter rolls, with Ohio being the most recent. Oh, and Nevada too!

7) In this older interview, former President Richard Nixon said that the CIA had "motive" to take him out; that half the Watergate burglars had CIA connections; and that the CIA knew he was going to "shape them up." He was "dissatisfied" with a lot of their analysis.

8) Consumer Reports says that condoms given out by Planned Parenthood are defective. Can you say, building your own clientele? For the record I had data from CR back in the 90s that condoms failed 15% of the time, or at a lower rate than Soviet missiles upon launch!

9) Interesting take by the reliable Salena Zito on the Tampon Timmy selection: it leaves anti-Trump Republicans "homeless" because he is to the left of Cackles.

10) While Fetterman Massacre, the Human Ox, says Cackles can't win Pennsylvania.

11) A neighborhood in Ectopia, better known as Portland, has residents in a war with encroaching homeless camps. You deserve it, ya rectalsniffers.

12) Didn't see this coming: Bowling Green, Kentucky (not to be confused with Bowling Green, Ohio) has become the nation's #1 Ozempic weight loss location.

13) Sad and bizarre as a woman was found dead, trapped in the luggage conveyor belt system at O'Hare terminal 5.

IN ECONOMIC NEWS

14) Glencore Mining's recommitment to coal deals a big blow to the greenomania.

15) Oh, and speaking of useless, a $1 billion commitment to solar panels only produced a "small batch."

16) Jobless claims decreased, easing fear of immediate recession.

17) Elon Musk's X just sued a nonprofit out of business (I.e., a left-wing glandglob that was trying to organize X boycotts).

18) Some 13,000 hotel workers in multiple cities have walked out on strike.

19) Major banks shuttered 33 sites in July.

20) Condo owners in Florida are fleeing due to a new law that could "bankrupt" residents.

IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS

21) Maduro has hung on in Venezuela. Amazing what a well-oiled army will do for ya.

22) Me-hee-co rejected Ukraine's request to arrest Pootie-poot during the Russian President's visit.

IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS

23) Hall of Fame golfer Juan "Chi Chi" Rodriguez, dead at age 88.

AND FINALLY . . .

24) Here we have three thieves stealing a large box safe in an unmarked car. In the 1840s-1870s, banks commonly had "ball safes," in which an iron box bottom held papers and a large ball welded to the top held gold and cash. The strategy was that with the primitive explosives of the day, no robber could easily blow off the top "ball" and if they did, it was extremely difficult to haul or move. Of course, you could do what one Arizona banker did: loosed rattlesnakes around his safe at night. (Not sure how he got them back in the cages in the morning). Discussed here;
