    TODAY'S NEWS, August 29-31, 2026

    IN POLITICAL NEWS Democratic divisions continue to intensify, with James Carville, Ruy Teixeira, Julian Epstein, and others warning about the growing influence of the DSA. The political "middle" appears increasingly small, with only a limited percentage of voters considered genuinely persuadable. Michigan's Democratic attorney general reportedly skipped the state nominating convention over concerns about ideological extremism. Chris Murphy's description of migrant crime as a "fake problem" is contrasted with victims of crimes committed by migrants. Trump's efforts to reshape Washington are framed as more than beautification: a restoration of classical standards, traditional architecture, and visible achievement. Projects involving the Reflecting Pool, White House, ballroom, Kennedy-Trump Center, pathways, and other structures represent a broader effort to "re-beautify" Washington. Google Maps reportedly now displays "Lake America." Tony Fabrizio argues that Abdul El-Sayed's polling lead is misleading, reinforcing concerns that several competitive Senate polls may be inaccurate. Current Senate expectations remain more favourable to Republicans than many mainstream polls suggest, while the House remains extremely tight. A Florida woman reportedly drove into a Secret Service checkpoint claiming she wanted a car wash. Zohran Mamdani has formed a business advisory council amid growing concerns about his economic policies. New York teachers' unions that endorsed Mamdani are now reportedly challenging him over broken promises. Growing Muslim political and demographic influence in some American cities is noted, while emphasizing that religious communities remain free to organize and live according to the law unless laws are broken. CNN and CBS coverage are cited as acknowledging Trump was correct on aspects of Iran and Venezuela. Questions continue over allegations that New York Attorney General Letitia James's office sought damaging information on Trump allies. Around 20 people were reported missing after flash flooding in the Grand Canyon. Climate change has reportedly declined as a major issue among voters. Florida has restricted welfare spending on non-essential items such as video games, tattoos, and theme parks. Political influencers are increasingly being paid significant amounts to promote political messaging. Greg Abbott ordered Texas agencies to stop funding Flock cameras. A subpoena was reportedly issued involving an adviser to James Comey. IN AI NEWS Elon Musk is reportedly launching a major gas-turbine blade company aimed at addressing infrastructure shortages and accelerating data-centre construction. IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS Milo Yiannopoulos was reportedly deported after overstaying his visa. His rise and collapse also recalls the complicated publishing history surrounding Reagan: The American President, including the eventual recovery of publishing rights and its later release through Post Hill/Bombardier Books. A federal judge reportedly declined to block Trump's birth-tourism executive order. Postpartum mental-health defences in homicide cases continue raising difficult legal questions, particularly in relation to the Lindsay Clancy case. IN CULTURAL NEWS Concerns continue over AI companies acquiring, scanning, and destroying physical books. The preservation of original books is seen as important both for historical verification and protection against future alterations to texts. Rising costs and declining returns are driving growing interest in three-year university programs. A peer-reviewed study reportedly found homeschooled students outperforming public-school students across multiple subjects. A New Mexico man was reportedly accused of fatally shooting his cousin during an argument over enchiladas, proving that enchiladas remain a serious matter in the West. IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS The U.S. has reportedly secured more than $23 billion in deals with African nations and businesses as part of a broader effort to compete with China. The Venezuelan oil strategy is presented as a long-term energy-security move rather than simply short-term price relief. Switzerland's peaceful, gun-free reputation was challenged by a shooting that reportedly left one dead and five injured. Ceuta, Spain, is presented as an example of escalating tensions surrounding migration, crime, and restrictions on military responses. Iceland appears increasingly willing to reconsider its relationship with the European Union. Sweden is reportedly moving away from heavily digital classrooms and returning to physical books. New footage has raised questions about whether the Nepal disaster was connected to activity involving a hydroelectric project on the Chinese side. California's high-speed rail spending is contrasted with China's vastly larger railway expansion. The U.S. has reportedly opened a safer shipping route near the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian gasoline shortages are reportedly worsening. Vietnam is shifting greater emphasis toward trade schools and workforce skills over traditional university degrees. Reports from Canada have generated controversy over proposals involving euthanasia for infants born with disabilities. IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS The new Wolverine game reportedly cost around $305 million and will need millions of sales to break even. Navajo NFL player Shiyazh Pete was cut by the Dallas Cowboys, but his size and potential suggest his football journey may not be over. IN MEDICAL NEWS A new paper is cited as raising concerns about possible neurological effects associated with COVID-era vaccines. Mark Stein and Vinny Martell are back on tour with Carmine Appice and Vanilla Fudge. A long friendship with the band led to the opportunity to write Mark Stein's biography, interview an extraordinary collection of rock musicians, and eventually help set the stage for the 2010 film Rockin' the Wall. AND FINALLY... The predicted August 17 polar-axis shift and seven seconds of global weightlessness apparently came and went without incident. Either the prediction was spectacularly wrong, or the anti-gravity boots worked perfectly.

Larry highlights what he sees as a growing cultural shift toward classical music, vinyl, older television, nostalgia, and traditional entertainment. Classical music audiences and online engagement are reportedly growing. Gen Z viewers are increasingly revisiting older television series rather than newer programming. Larry also highlights arguments connecting beauty, order, architecture, and cultural values. A Nebraska court case challenging compulsory public education could have significant implications for homeschooling and public-school policy.

    TODAY'S NEWS, August 19-20, 2026

    Political News Florida Republicans have gained 429,000 net registrations since November 2024, pushing their statewide lead to 1.54 million. California's Democrats still hold a 4.1 million advantage, but FL keeps marching. Florida counted its ballots virtually overnight while California took 38 days. Once again, polling got hammered, with Veeta Vita Vindman losing by 12 points after polls had her leading. Seth Keshel now sees FL-25 and AZ-1 looking better for Republicans, while Corey Mills' primary loss makes FL-7 more likely to remain Republican. The DemoKKKrat Civil War continues, with former DNC press secretary Jose Aristimuño backing R Mike Rogers in Michigan. Alaska's "Sullivan Show" is getting uglier, with DOJ subpoenas and allegations surrounding attempts to manipulate the Senate race. A proposed DemoKKKrat "summit" featuring Talcumpowder, Cackles, and Moonman Kelly apparently attracted almost nobody. Party of the youts, indeed. Patrick Ruffini says polling is particularly unreliable during summer. Recent WI and FL results reinforce the point. Eric "Farticus" Swalwell's alleged ChiCom connections are back in focus, including reported campaign donations through Fang Fang. Larry predicts Farticus could be the first big-name arrest. Jill Stein has been charged with assault and failed to appear in court. Maryland still hasn't rebuilt the Francis Scott Key Bridge. The state only now reopened bidding, with completion pushed to 2028 and costs more than doubled. The NSA allegedly blocked intelligence about ChiCom election interference from reaching Trump in 2020. Arcadia, CA's mayor resigned after pleading guilty to acting as a ChiCom agent. Kollyfornia is now dictating what tires residents can install on their cars after a flat. Expect Big O Tires in Quartzite. DOJ is restoring gun rights to more than 30 million Americans currently prohibited from owning firearms. Trump announced further White House upgrades, including a helipad. A driver killed two people and injured seven members of a collegiate cycling team. Kollyfornia is banning certain plants near homes as a "fire safe" measure rather than addressing its broader wildfire-prevention failures. Illegal Criminal Alien News DemoKKKrat state legislatures have introduced more than 250 bills attempting to prop up illegal criminal aliens. An illegal criminal alien released by a Kollyfornia judge allegedly stabbed someone to death the following day. Larry argues judges should serve the sentence in cases like this. Cultural News Trump's proposed triumphal arch received approval to begin construction. A San Francisco school where 94% of students fail math somehow has Cal Berkeley's highest acceptance rate. Transoid News A mother and daughter at an Indiana Fever-WNBA game were told their "XX-XY" shirts supporting Sophie Cunningham were "offensive" and had to cover them or leave. A female wrestler alleges a transoid competitor sexually assaulted her and is suing over the policy allowing men to compete against women. A transoid received 73 months in prison for conspiring to kill Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Economic News ESPN founder Bill Rasmussen died at 93 after building the network from a credit-card advance. Larry wonders what he would think of ESPN now. Nike went woke, and its stock fell from the $130s to roughly $38. Amazon expects drone deliveries to reach 500 cities by year's end. Bots now account for roughly half of all internet traffic. Trump extended the Jones Act waiver to make it easier for critical fuel and oil to reach U.S. markets.

International News Europe continues doubling down on hydrogen despite the continuing debate over its practicality and economics. Secretary of State Muy Macho Marco imposed new sanctions on the International Criminal Court. CNN reports Iran has lost control of the Strait of Hormuz, while Axios says a stealth operation is moving nearly as much oil through the strait as before. Iran has reportedly offered a $30,000 bounty for capturing or killing a U.S. soldier. Larry's response: one American, 100 of theirs. Another illegal migrant invasion is reportedly heading toward Cueto, Spain, while Morocco has arrested nearly 300 people. Hayden Panettiere criticized Neutrogena shortly before her death after the company reportedly ended its contract with her. Neutrogena's stock is now falling. Entertainment News Megxit and the Ginger Duke are reportedly moving back to Mediocre Britain. Larry questions whether the royal grift is still available. Two Milwaukee rappers were killed in a daylight shooting at their recording studio. Darned Amish. Spider-Man: Brand New Day has now topped $2 billion internationally, prompting Larry to raise his Avengers: Doomsday projection to potentially $3 billion worldwide. Medical News David Morens, one of Dr. Fallacy's close associates, pleaded guilty to conspiring to evade public-records laws and conceal government documents related to COVID-era research funding. Morens also admitted accepting bribes from EcoHealth Alliance. A memo reportedly shows Michael Osterholm telling Dr. Fallacy he was avoiding government email to "avoid any FOIA issues." Larry argues this demonstrates awareness that the communications could become problematic. The messages concerned COVID masks, even as officials were allegedly pressuring social-media platforms to censor critics such as Rand Paul. Kindergarten vaccine exemptions have increased, though Larry says headlines exaggerate the scale. A Texas nurse who blew the whistle on alleged child transoid procedures was investigated by the FBI. Larry argues the real China Virus scandal extends beyond Dr. Fallacy to the broader history of illicit gain-of-function research. A new erectile-dysfunction drug reportedly carries a risk of blindness, while Moderna's cancer-vaccine announcement sent its stock higher. And Finally Mrs. LS insisted on a trip to Buc-ee's in Goodyear, Arizona, which Larry found impressively enormous, with roughly 25 to 50 gas pumps and wall-to-wall customers. Now Buc-ee's is fighting Beavercreek, Ohio, over the famous beaver logo.

Texas Children's Hospitals reached a major settlement and admitted to violating the law over banned treatments. Thank you, Ken Paxton.

His revolutionary 1974 surgery has since saved thousands of pitching careers. Cardinals rookie Joshua Baez hit three home runs in his first three MLB at-bats, setting a record. A PBS broadcaster lost access to 50 terabytes of data after its cloud-storage vendor went bankrupt. Hollywood donors are increasingly worried that the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger could result in Ellison moving the companies out of Kollyfornia. Actress Hayden Panettiere died at 36.

A federal judge in a high-profile LSU rape case reportedly has a family connection to a convicted serial rapist. AI Alphabet is borrowing another $20-$25 billion as AI development continues burning through enormous amounts of cash. Data-center water and electricity demands are legitimate concerns, but Larry argues the debate should focus on enabling AI infrastructure without raising utility costs or sacrificing resources while competing with Chy-na. A Chicago funeral home was found with 57 decomposing bodies. Immigration / Crime The Trump administration says it has located more than 148,000 missing children out of roughly 470,000 brought into the country under Rutabaga.

The Dr. Fallacy controversy continues escalating, with even mainstream outlets warning that turning him into a public-health villain could have lasting consequences.

Cori Bush's primary loss and El-Sayed's narrow win suggest the DemoKKKrat establishment is regaining some control, but the radical wing remains strong. Trump-hating Rep.

AI AI skills are increasingly being valued above traditional MBA credentials, adding another reason Larry questions the value of conventional college. AI data-center investment continues to grow rapidly. Chy-na's DeepSeek is reportedly operating faster and dramatically cheaper than competing AI systems. AI may be rewriting jobs rather than simply replacing them, changing the skills workers need. Immigration / Crime DOJ launched what it calls its largest-ever denaturalization effort, with 25 cases in two weeks. A federal court upheld the ability of ICE agents and federal law enforcement to wear masks, rejecting New Kabul's challenge.
