What matters is the data and facts of Trump's first nine months since January 20, 2025, in comparison to either former President Joe Biden's prior year or the averages of his four years in office. - Victor Davis Hanson

• Take the border...U.S. during Biden's four years of open borders..is clear is that he set a presidential record of well over seven million illegal entrants. The border under Trump is now tightly closed...
• How about energy? For Trump's first nine months, gas prices have averaged $3.19 versus Biden's 2024 average of $3.30 a gallon. Over Biden's four years, gas averaged $3.46 a gallon.
• During the Biden years, oil production averaged 12.3 million barrels per day, compared to 13.5 million barrels during Trump's first nine months. 
• Biden removed 200 million barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, leaving office with only 394 million barrels in the SPR. The reserve has already inched upward under Trump's initial months to 406 million barrels...
• Regarding the economy, Biden's four years averaged 2.9 percent GDP growth per annum. Trump's GDP rose 3.8% in the second quarter, with final estimates for 2025 ranging around 3%.
• Inflation under Trump so far averages about 3%. Under Biden's tenure, inflation increased by 21.4% over four years, or on average about 5.3% a year.

Border Patrol commander vows to show Obama judge videos of 'extreme violence' against ICE * WorldNetDaily * by Harold Hutchison, Daily Caller News Foundation

Border Patrol commander vows to show Obama judge videos of 'extreme violence' against ICE * WorldNetDaily * by Harold Hutchison, Daily Caller News Foundation: 

Chief Border Patrol Agent Greg Bovino told Fox News host Harris Faulkner Wednesday that he would be showing a federal judge videos of assaults suffered by United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in the Chicago area. United States District Judge Sarah Ellis of the Northern District of Illinois, an Obama appointee, ordered Bovino to meet with her daily after attorneys for anti-ICE rioters claimed ICE violated her order barring the use of riot control tactics except in the case of a threat to agents. Bovino told Faulkner that he welcomed the chance to give Ellis "a very good first-hand look" at what ICE agents faced during their operations in Chicago.

WTH??!!

 

Reagan–Thatcher, Trump–Takaichi, and Cold War II

In Japan, she is known as the “iron lady,” a not-so-subtle comparison to Britain’s Margaret Thatcher - Francis P. Sempa

• Like Thatcher, she is a conservative known for supporting a “hawkish” foreign policy and a stronger military.

In the late 1970s, in the wake of America’s defeat in Vietnam and the disastrous presidency of Jimmy Carter, Thatcher partnered with Ronald Reagan to reverse the “correlation of forces” that appeared to be shifting in the Soviet Union’s favor in Cold War I. 

• There are indications that Takaichi may partner with Donald Trump, in the aftermath of the disastrous, Carter-like Biden presidency, to face down the growing geopolitical challenge of China in Cold War II... (RELATED: Japan Set to Elect Female Nationalist, Pro-Taiwan, Anti-China Hawk as Next PM

Big money drains the patience – and the soul – from college football - MLive

“Every kid is a free agent,” he said. “It’s chaotic.”

College football today is unrecognizable. 

Here’s a snapshot of the new reality:

• Arch Manning, quarterback for a middling Texas Longhorns team, is reportedly earning $6.8 million in NIL money, the most among college football players.
• As of this week, a dozen coaches at schools like Penn State and LSU have been canned midseason – with total contractual buyouts topping $170 million.

These aren’t outliers – they’re the new normal...

Those donors matter, because that’s where the NIL money comes from.

“It’s basically become professionalized,” Wenzel said...

"You pay a very high price in the stock market for a cheery consensus."

Exclusive: Report Tracks $200M Spent On Health Care For Illegals

‘When elected officials argue that taxpayer dollars aren’t going to illegal immigrants that just isn’t true,’ Open The Books CEO John Hart said. - M.D. Kittle

• An investigation by the nonprofit government watchdog Open The Books finds illegal immigrants have benefited from nearly $200 million in direct federal health care-related grants since fiscal year 2021.
• That total doesn’t include indirect taxpayer funding for illegal aliens via Medicaid, estimated by the Congressional Budget Office to be around $27 billion from FY 2017-2023, according to a new Open The Books report exclusively provided to The Federalist.
• And then there’s the “estimated $70 billion annually in education spending for “undocumented migrants” and their children...

The Pfizer Job - by Dr Ah Kahn Syed - Arkmedic's blog

How Pfizer carried out the biggest pharma trial heist ever - and the regulators swallowed it hook, line and sinker. - Dr Ah Kahn Syed
Remember this? “Pfizer’s vaccine is more than 90% effective”.

Headlines repeated around the world and more importantly by the regulators FDA, TGA, EMA and MHRA...

Yep, Pfizer and the FDA concluded - after one of the quickest and largest randomised controlled trials in pharma history - that receiving a Pfizer COVID vaccine would give you only 5% of the risk of “catching COVID” than someone who didn’t receive their product1.

• Just to reiterate - this was about COVID infection. 
• No claims on severity, hospitalisation or death were made by Pfizer. 

The FDA agreed that Pfizer’s trial showed that for every 100 people who were not vaccinated and “got COVID” only 5 vaccinated people would “get COVID”. 

And remember this is COVID infection (testing positive), not anything else...

Keeping an Eye on the Storms: An Analysis of Trends in Hurricanes Over Time | The Heritage Foundation

Keeping an Eye on the Storms: An Analysis of Trends in Hurricanes Over Time | The Heritage Foundation - Joe D’Aleo and Kevin Dayaratna, PhD
Summary

• Some politicians and pundits have argued that increased greenhouse gas emissions have led to increased frequency and intensity of hurricanes. This Special Report examines historical hurricane data to determine if these claims hold merit. 
• The findings: Despite increases in carbon-dioxide levels over the past century, there has been no significant long-term increase in the incidence and severity of hurricanes using a variety of metrics...

Key Takeaways

• The frequency and intensity of hurricanes has not risen meaningfully, despite CO2 emissions and temperature increases in the 20th century globally.
• Increased hurricane damage in the U.S. is largely due to higher incomes and more infrastructure creation—which also lets the country handle adverse weather better.
• El Niño Southern Oscillation and other natural variations explain the incidence and severity of hurricanes better than global temperature increases do.

Government deciding life or death? What could possibly go wrong??!!-----Assisted Suicide In Canada

Like most such laws - sometimes referred to as "death with dignity" laws - the initial sell is based on giving terminally ill people with no hope of recovery and a dubious quality of life to punch their ticket out of this life with a little help from their doctor. - Mitch Berg

It seems pretty gauzy on the "brochure" version...

Of course, the Canadian definition of "terminal illness" encompassed mental illness - leading to a series of Kafkaesque cases of therapy culture run amok:

April Hubbard sits on the theatre stage where she plans to die later this year.

She is not terminally ill, but the 39-year-old performance and burlesque artist has been approved for assisted dying under Canada's increasingly liberal laws...April plans to be in a "big comfy bed" for what she calls a "celebratory" moment when a medical professional will inject a lethal dose into her bloodstream...

The program has been...er, successful, I suppose, after a fashion:

Since legalization, the number of euthanasia deaths in Canada has steadily grown every year and showed little sign of slowing down. Between 2016 and 2023, over 60,000 Canadians have been euthanized, with over 15,000 in 2023 alone. Euthanasia now accounts for 4.7% of all deaths in the country...
