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.

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.

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.

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.

Naomi Wolf argues that China Virus vaxxes contributed to falling libido and declining birth rates. And Finally A great-grandfather attended his great-granddaughter's medical-school graduation at the same institution where he graduated 60 years earlier. As Larry puts it: “Yeah, but I bet he didn't have any student loans...” Larry SchweikartRock drummer, Film maker, NYTimes #1 bestselling author A Patriot's History (concept trailer) - https://vimeo.com/40949423Buy Larry a coffee - http://buymeacoffee.com/larrys Want more Larry Schweikart politics, current events, and history?

Private-sector employment is reportedly at its highest level ever according to the Fed. Trump announced $180 million in mining grants to strengthen U.S. supply chains and counter Chy-na. The "$20 burrito" debate reflects broader concerns about affordability, though Larry argues online economic narratives can become bubbles of their own. Mike Rowe highlighted electricians working on AI infrastructure in Texas earning around $240,000, showing the opportunities outside traditional college paths. The bigger question is whether Gen Z will move to where the jobs are, as previous generations did. The U.S. trade deficit plunged by $100 billion, reaching its lowest level in roughly 20 years. International A German teacher described the country's public-school system as a living hell. Germany's auto industry is struggling badly, with Larry warning that Chinese joint ventures allowed Chy-na to acquire German technology and undercut German manufacturers.

Political Trump signed an executive order targeting birthright citizenship and birth tourism, setting up another likely Supreme Court fight. The Supes also closed a procedural loophole frequently used against the Trump administration. A Senate panel voted to hold Dr. Fallacy in contempt. His COVID-era phone has also produced potentially millions of additional documents.

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. Several migrant advocacy organizations were removed from the program, with a Houston legal organization instead contracted to help migrant children return home. The administration continues framing the issue around both immigration enforcement and protecting vulnerable children. Cultural A Long Island PTA mother admitted stealing $14,000 to spend on Lululemon. Seattle's new $165 million library is reportedly overwhelmed by drug users. Transoid A federal appeals court ruled that Maine schools receiving federal funding must follow federal sex and gender requirements.

Medical A new study reportedly links daily Diet Coke consumption with cognitive decline. Larry notes he drinks A&W Diet Root Beer instead. RFK Jr. decertified a Kentucky organ-harvesting organization accused of removing organs before all signs of life had disappeared. The Dr. Fallacy controversy continues escalating, with even mainstream outlets warning that turning him into a public-health villain could have lasting consequences.

And Finally The closing joke has J.D. Vance discovering Trump and Muy Macho Marco are discussing deporting three million liberal white women and four beagles. Vance asks what the beagles did. Rubio's punchline: "See. Told you no one would care about the women."

Political Abdul El-Sayed narrowly won Michigan's DemoKKKrat Senate primary, with NBC calling the race, setting up what Larry sees as a favorable matchup for Republican Mike Rogers. Pollsters badly missed the Michigan result, with El-Sayed reportedly polling 10 points ahead but winning by less than one. 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. Shri Thanedar also lost his primary. New Hampshire voter-roll maintenance produced another 4,000-net Republican gain, while independents declined by roughly 25,000.

Public resistance to mass surveillance cameras is growing, with hundreds of Flock cameras facing opposition and all eight cameras in Winona, Minnesota reportedly stolen or destroyed. 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. ICE arrested more than 51,000 people in July, an annualized pace of roughly 612,000. Including self-deportations, Larry estimates the U.S. could see more than 1.2 million illegal immigrants leave within a year.

Medical Rand Paul released a contempt resolution targeting Dr. Fallacy ahead of a congressional vote. Rutabaga's former COVID czar now acknowledges that the China Virus likely originated from a laboratory leak. A prominent microbiologist says Fauci and his allies have "lost control of the narrative." Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers called Dr. Fallacy an "absolute coward" and declined to answer directly when asked about him. Jeffrey Tucker raises the larger question coming from the newly released files: what else remains hidden? And Finally Brazil's first known anteater reintroduction project appears to be succeeding, prompting Larry to consider the obvious secondary application: local pest control.

Political Spain's migrant crisis is becoming an optics disaster for open-border DemoKKKrats, giving Trump and Republicans powerful campaign material.

The DSA's supposed massive movement looks considerably less massive in practice, with a reported gathering of only about 500 people.

A quantum computer has reportedly achieved a first by outperforming conventional computers in a trusted-computation task. Opposition to data centers is becoming a new political movement, although Politico predictably frames opponents as Luddites. AI-generated music is arriving fast, potentially increasing the premium on human-originated music, imperfections, soul, and distinctive playing styles.
