Commentary by Larry Schweikart
IN POLITICAL NEWS
1) The goblin-infested judge Chutkin in the Patriot Day (J6) case set a trial date of March 4, 2024.
-This likely will not hold at all. There will be motions, then there will be appeals to the 11th circuit (an anti-Trump circuit), which would be heard by a panel, and if denied, Trump can appeal to the en banc court, and if denied, his team can apply to the Supes. These appeals will be time-consuming. Unlikely this case goes to trial before 2025.
2) President Trump and 18 co-defendants will be arraigned on September 6 in the Georgia RICO case.

3) Efforts to keep Trump from the 2024 ballot using the 14th Amendment are ramping up.
-These will have no success. First, a close reading of the 14th makes it clear (and courts have so said) that it applied to the Civil War Confederates only; that in the long list of people to whom the 14th Amendment “insurrection” charges could be applied, the word president does not appear precisely because the President was Abraham Lincoln and Jeff Davis was not accorded that rank by the victors, and that in two out of three congressional cases (GA, NC, NM) the courts ruled that this was, in fact, a Civil War law with no applicability to the modern era.
4) Some 77% of voters, including almost 70% of DemoKKKrats, say Rutabaga is too old for a second term.
-What they really mean is too brain-pickled, but they aren’t allowed to poll dementia.

5) Well, well, the head of the Georgia Elections Board that found “no fraud” in 2020 has resigned.
6) The National Archives acknowledges 5,400 Rutabaga pseudonym emails, and faces a new lawsuit for their release.
7) Speaker Kevin McCarthy says an impeachment inquiry into Rutabaga is the “natural step forward.”
-SO STEP, YA BILGEPILGING YAK MOLESTER.
8) Just as Dr. Fallacy called those who disagreed with him “anti-science,” so too does Lurch who is some sort of nebulous “climate czar,” says those who disagree with him are “threats to humanity.”
9) Scandinavians would say “Oof-da!” A new poll puts Ron DeSantis at only 5% among those 35 to 54.
10) Shocked, not shocked: Homeland Security has been hiding the monthly number of illegal criminals released into the U.S.
11) Love it! Indian Justice! Tribal rangers rammed a climate cultist blockade and then arrested all of the cult members.

12) “Joe the Plumber,” known for confronting Zero over taxes, died at age 49.
13) This is where the low-IQ voters in New York have a problem. They clearly understand their state is going into the crapper (80% say the wrong direction, and demand “term limits” for governor) but have not changed their voting behavior.
-“Rage against the machine.”
14) In the peaceful and bucolic little village of Benghazi-by-the-Lake, a Chicago news crew was robbed at gunpoint while covering an armed robbery.
15) Speaking of robbery, RFK, Jr. gettin’ a little good ol’ DemoKKKrat dirty tricks love as a U.S. judge in Kollyfornia rejected his request for a temporary restraining order against YouTube for censoring his content.
16) The blame game is in full swing as Hawaiian Electric says power lines were shut off hours before the wildfire.
IN CULTURE NEWS
17) This has a kind of Walt Disney/EPCOT tone to it: Tech billionaires bought 55,000 acres outside Groomer City to start a new city. Clearly thinking they cannot save Groomer City, the tekkies will have no success at any new development unless they impose conservative concepts, laws, market principles and equal justice—which is to say they will fail.
IN TRANSOID NEWS
18) Transoid and homosexual “rights” are under legal attack around the world. Good.
IN ECONOMIC NEWS
19) The Air BnB bubble popping will pop the housing bubble.
-Oh goodie. Now while everything costs more, the value of my home will be less.
20) Mortgage rates are up, home prices remain up 26%, but real median weekly earnings are down 5%.

21) Furniture company “Mitchell Gold & Bob Williams” shut down three North Carolina plants without warning.

27) Germany now is called the “sick man of Europe” for its stagnating economy caused by green energy stupidity.
IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS
28) Disney/Marvel’s new “The Marvels,” a show no one wants, has tried to gin up excitement by putting another show no one wants, “Ms. Marvel,” on Disney+ where its ratings were “embarrassing” and “shocking.” Whereas “Loki” got 2.5 million, “Mrs. Marvel” got 775,000 viewers—who, as subscribers, could have watched it free. Not a good omen for “The Marvels” movie.
29) Elton John was treated at a hospital after suffering a fall at his villa. EJ is 76.
IN CHINA VIRUS NEWS
30) 99% of “Covid deaths” are not primarily caused by the virus . . . says the CDC.

31) In happier news, a man set himself on fire trying to burn down a Florida church.
-“Numbers 32:32: be sure your sin will find you out,” and set yo ass on fire. No, it doesn’t say that . . . does it?
