TODAY'S NEWS, September 2, 2024

1) So this is their big "October Surprise?" IN POLITICAL NEWS a movie called "The Apprentice" will be released in October supposedly showing President Trump "assaulting" his first wife, who has denied it happened. If this is all they have, then the election is truly over.

2) There are reports seeping out that the Harris internal polls are drifting downward into Rutabaga territory. Not surprising. Tony Fabrizio predicted this about three weeks ago; so did I. Her honeymoon is over and she didn't even get a piece of cake. This is supported by the fact that most---though not all---of the recent polls have not only tightened, but that President Trump has taken the lead or tied in all battleground states according to Trafalgar and Insider Advantage. For what it's worth (Richard Baris says, "not much"), Little Natey Silver's latest "forecast" (based on goofball methodology that apparently involves reading goat entrails and throwing Dungeons and Dragons dice) has Trump with a more than 10% chance of winning (up almost 11 from two weeks ago. Polymarket must have the same dice, as they now have Trump up 2 nationally and, like Silver, up 11% in the swing states. Although ABC and Change Research still has Cackles up a hair, Wick has Trump tied or up when all candidates are on the ballot. WATCH FOR ALL OF THESE TO INCH UPWARD. Trump, barring a new China VIrus or war, will end up at more than two nationally and in the range of 312-340 Electoral Votes. But don't take it from me, take it from Axios: "DemoKKKrats are the clear underdogs." Their polling must be doggie poop.

2) Oh, and those RFK voters? 2:1 in favor of Trump according to Patrick Basham's "Democracy Project."

3) A story came out while I was gone by the Mooch Scaramucci that Trump had dyslexia and couldn't read. Odd. D'Antonio's (Not friendly) bio of Trump noted an incident when he was buying the Hilton Hotel across from Penn Station, a transaction that had mountains of paperwork. Trump---not his lawyers, not his accountants---found a tiny clause in all that paperwork that said he only had to put down a small fraction of the so-called "down payment." Right. He can't read.

4) Speaking of reading, Melania Trump joins the list of best-selling authors before her book is even released.

5) This report requires a little analysis but the upshot is that it is terrible news for Cackles and any steal in Georgia. The number of requested mail-in (i.e., theft-abundant) ballots is down 90%. By the way, in case you missed it, Texas just cleared 1 million ineligible (DemoKKKrat) voters from the rolls, following in the footsteps of purges in Nevada and Ohio.

6) In what has been viewed overall as a terrible interview with CNN, Cackles now says she would not ban fracking, even though in 2019 she said she would.

7) Kollyfornia has officially become Fraud Central in the U.S. by banning voter ID. Gruesome has only to sign the bill.

8) President Trump laid a wreath at Arlington Cemetery at the graves of 13 American soldiers killed in Rutabaga's botched Afghan withdrawal. Libs pounced on it as not classy, and the Gold Star families fought back, making videos that dismantled Cackles and her demonic allies.

9) In a case with far reaching implications, an appellate court ruled that Tik Tok was not protected by section 230 of the Communications Decency Act when it promoted posts to the page of a 10-year-old in which videos showed self-asphyxiation. The girl died when she attempted it.

10) What is it with PA? A man (another would-be assassin?) rushed the stage at President Trump's latest Pennsylvania rally.

11) Ever wonder who is running the White House while Rutabaga dodders from vacation to vacation (course, he is always on vacation in his mind)? Here advisor Kiesha Lance Bottoms really can't answer that. (Mysterious "people making sane decisions.") Well, that would be a first.

IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS

12) This is Poland, but relevant: The Polish government has authorized the use of deadly force in stopping illegal criminal alien invaders at its borders. This is the way.

IN CULTURE NEWS

13) This is an interesting debate over the role of government in universities, particularly as it involves wokism. Jordan Peterson says universities should not be political; Christopher Rufo says they cannot help but be political as they were to reflect the values of the citizens. I'm with Rufo on the character of universities, but I'm with Peterson on the net outcome of trying to have states such as Florida push any academic agenda. True reform can only come through professors, faculty, administrators, and regents, not government imposed rules.

IN ECONOMIC NEWS

14) Pending home sales are at an all-time low, while the consumer spending spree continues supported by gubment handouts. Meanwhile, office prices in downtown areas have fallen 52% largely due to "zombie towers."

15) David Blackmon, the Rush Limbaugh of Energy, reports that big media is going after plastics recycling now, because, you know, if you can actually recycle plastics, there is even less reason to get rid of oil. And on the topic of oil, there is an impending power grid crisis in Germany, Britain, South Australia, and Kollyfornia due to the idiotic anti-oil policies in those places.

16) In a state that desperately needs more homes, Kollyfornia's illegal weed industry is ruining houses.

17) The SEC has charged a China-based investment company's CEO (not named Trump) for fraud.

18) Startups are crashing in the tech industry. This is an object lesson in HISTORY. With a single exception that I am aware of, no company/industry in American history which was the leader in the field pioneered the next big breakthrough. For example, the auto was not invented by Wells Fargo or Butterfield but by an employee at Westinghouse. The airplane didn't come from balloon makers. The calculator wasn't developed by Keuffel Slide Rules. IBM, with 85% of the computer field, did not invent the Personal Computer. And SONY, with its "Walkman," did not jump to digital music---that was our only exception, Steve Jobs with his IPod, a computer company that found a way into the music industry.

IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS

19) Hun giant Thyssen-Krupp now has a negative enterprise value.

20) Irena Slav notes that the German "success" with solar and wind has been almost entirely due to the Hun government radically speeding up the process for permissions---but only for solar and wind. Meanwhile the solarized/windized power companies want to charge more for sunless/windless days. All this Hun incompetence is putting all of Europe in danger now. Perhaps, with its immigration, transoidism, and wokism, that isn't a bad thing.

21) Speaking of dysfunction, elections in Germany saw both the "hard right" and the "hard left" win seats. Remember, to the Euros, a soft moderate party is "hard right," while a total fascist-communist party they will reluctantly label "hard left." Most of European delegates in any country are "hard left" and there are few true "hard right" anywhere.

22) This analysis shows that the Russkies have utterly collapsed the Uke Donbas defenses while the Ukes were busy "invading" Russia.

23) Speaking of being in danger, Brazil now has ordered the shutdown of Elon Musk's X. Reinstituting fascism there.

24) The Hamas Murder Pirates "brutally murdered" eight hostages right before their rescue. This is horrific, of course, and one more reason to hate Hamas, but isn't all murder "brutal?"

IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS

25) Reagan the movie is out, and of course the chodeobsessed cyclops critics see only one thing, Reagan Bad. Viewers, on the other hand, love it. It has a massive score on "Rotten Tomatoes" and (haven't seen it yet) reportedly has you blubbering. Anyway, here is one positive review.

26) I didn't see this coming. "Reservoir Dogs" and "Graham Greene" in "Con Air," Steve Buscemi, broke up a pub fight in England and stood his ground over a downed man. Ya never know.

IN CHINA VIRUS NEWS

27) Denmark, Norway, and Finland graphs show that all-cause mortality . . . kept rising after the vaxxes were rolled out.

28) And here . . . we . . . go. Kansas is the first of five states launching a civil suit against Pfizer for "false and deceptive statements" about the China Virus vax.

AND FINALLY . . .

29) This is a weird one. A female employee of Wells Fargo was found in her cubicle in the back, four days after she died. Nobody noticed. I think when they say "don't rock the boat" they didn't intend for you to be come so invisible that no one noticed when you died. Condolences.
