Evil Thoughts

Six years after he boarded up the Pacific, Gavin Newsom waded into a Montana river w/ Jake Tapper & declared beach closures "insane." Today he signed an executive order to invent an AI kill switch.  The order does not say who gets the big red button-Newsom's office, some certified auditor in the lab, or the same governor who once decided you couldn't walk on sand. The man who now admits the last panic was overreach wants the next one to come with a remote.

They rolled Mitch McConnell out of his Capitol Hill townhouse staring into the middle distance like the last vegetable the FDA forgot to recall. The Senate reconvened & the country got a live-action argument for term limits. Polls have been screaming 80%+. Congress still pretends the only term limit that matters is death or a midterm. btw: Do you think Mitch gets A.I.?    

One side wants to flood the zone w/ compute, treat doomerism like a psy-op, and let the chips fall (preferably Nvidia-shaped). The other wants a hard stop, a new federal overlord, and prison time for anyone who keeps scaling.  Trump called the panic a hoax on live speakerphone. Bernie called it an extinction-level event.  The robots have not taken over. The politicians already have.  

Waist-deep in a Montana stream, CNN's Jake Tapper & Gavin Newsom strap on the Orvis cosplay and pretend this is just two regular dudes cursing at trout. Newsom: I won't run if Kamala runs. Today we wade in: the interview, the pose, the pledge, and why "I wouldn't do that to her" is the slickest fly in the box.

Over the weekend Anthropic's CEO, Dario Amodei published a long, trembling essay called We Must Pace the Frontier. After months of A.I. models getting better at building the next models, after rogue agent swarms already slipped the leash, the high priests of silicon suddenly want to take it slower. Evil Trump just told them to keep going largely because another country will.    

Twenty-five years later the names still get read. The families still fold in half. And New York's first Muslim socialist mayor and AOC still found something to giggle about while it happened.The camera cut from a man with his face buried in his arms to Mamdani and Ocasio-Cortez leaning in, smiling, then laughing as relatives kept reciting the dead. They treated the reading like a side conversation at a fundraiser.   Tomorrow both of them will still have their jobs. That is the 25th anniversary in 2026: the dead get their two hours, the living get their careers, and the rest of us get to watch the difference.  

Last night at the first-ever GOP midterm convention, evil Trump proposed a $5,000 payment to every adult U.S. citizen — if Republicans hold the House and Senate in November. Price tag: 1.3 trillion. Critics aren't entirely wrong about the size. They're missing the mechanism.

Jurors break their silence in the Lindsay Clancy case, Stella Parton speaks out on why Dolly kept her cancer diagnosis private, and podcast pioneer, Adam Carolla reveals (again) he's leaving CA

The Hail Mary that isn't even legal. Lindsay Clancy's attorney appears on GMA and asks President Trump to consider issuing her a pardon. Meanwhile we were promised a better future 60 years ago today when the first episode of Star Trek aired on TV.

Cable drew the map before the jury finished the first hour. Team Mental Health versus Team She Knew. Men versus women. Meds versus murder. Every chyron hungry for a scoreboard. The jury, hung at 11-1, just refused to pick a jersey.

On the day that Elon Musk rolls out fully autonomous cyber cabs in Austin, TX, Bernie Sanders unveils his "Ban Artificial Superintelligence Act." Same day. Same country. Two completely different ideas of who should be in charge.         

Day 5 of the Lindsay Clancy trial and the jury in Plymouth is still hung. The cable chyron wants a left-versus-right score, a men versus women divide. That is a child's map of a tragic massacre.  

This morning Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent signaled regime change is the end game in Iran and that the writing is now on the wall. He compared the IRGC to poisonous snakes he killed as a kid by cutting their heads off. "The snake doesn't know it's dead yet, but it will stop wiggling when the sun goes down."   

Dolly Parton's private funeral was Friday- An American original, she was humble to the end, no circus, no politicians working the rope line. Elsewhere: Trump is squeezing Iran, where a hardliner dropped dead in mid-speech on Saturday night. It's bad omen energy you can't script.  

Some absolute legend (or pure chaos agent) strolls into an L.A. City Council meeting and drops the proposal of the century: "Free Hygienic Sexual Relief Programs" for the unhoused. Not showers. Not condoms, but Full-service, city-funded, hygienic relief. Because apparently tents, fentanyl, and open-air everything else just weren't complete without taxpayer-sponsored climax care!

Bored with avocado toast & gratuitous Netflix checks in Montecito, Prince Harry & Meghan have decided the UK needs their special brand of drama injected straight back into the royal bloodstream. After spending years casually implying the entire country is a racist hellscape, they're packing up the kids and their victim complex for a triumphant return!

L.A. sidewalks just got a whole lot more… hospitable. The L.A. City Council voted 10-3 to yank the anti-camping bans from a dozen spots across Hollywood, Silver Lake, and Echo Park. Urban campers are officially invited to roost, stretch out, and make themselves at home!  Meanwhile, in Sacramento, the CA Energy Commission doesn't need your permission, your vote to impose the USA's first mandatory efficiency standards for replacement tires. 

The California Energy Commission votes unanimously to regulate replacement tires! By 2033 the rules wipe out roughly 70% of the tires currently on the shelf. This is the same playbook that turned CA into the high-cost totalitarian socialist showcase: endless new mandates, less competition, everything more expensive than anywhere else.   

Hayden Panettiere—Claire Bennet, the unkillable cheerleader from Heroes, Juliette Barnes from Nashville, Kirby from Scream—found unresponsive in a Greenville, South Carolina apartment Sunday afternoon. Age 36. She'd been open about the long war with alcohol, opioids, postpartum depression, the "happy pills" that started it all as a teenager.  

Prediction markets indicate Sandy Cortez has passed Marco Rubio, with a 13% chance of winning the Presidency in 2028. The Squad's original "it girl," she's become the ultimate barometer in the heat of our collective late-Summer boredom.  

Karoline Leavitt is leaving as WH Press Secretary. She'll still be in Trump's orbit as an advisor, but the daily death matches w/ the "Free Press" are over. Elsewhere, a Federal judge just ordered HUD to keep pouring hundreds of millions of taxpayer $ down the homeless rathole known as the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority. Because when an agency has a decade-long rap sheet of fraud, conflict-of-interest scandals, and zero results, the only logical move is… more money!  

Joe Biden has Stage 4 prostate cancer. Trump has no sympathy. No pity parties. No soft landings.  

COVID didn't just lock us down—it gave the Democratic Socialists of America a pure, uncut hit of the lefty paradise they'd been fantasizing about for years. Control. Dependence. Centralized power. And they never came down from the high. Sandy Cortez basically said as much over the weekend. The founding fathers saws these freaks coming a mile away. Me? I'm Ready for Rain. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWD-x3GIUFA

The usual parade of double talking talking heads on the Sunday shows features the likes of Sandy Cortez, who blames the pandemic for all the "defund-the-police" nonsense spouted by backtracking DSA candidates.

Fauci's wife gives the finger to a NY Post photographer, apparently not pleased Rand Paul's referral is already at the DoJ. Elsewhere, more crumbling infrastructure in L.A, as water main breaks erupt in multiple locations.

Rand Paul's committee votes to refer Tony Fauci to the DoJ. Abdul El Sayed is the new Sandy Cortez. Iran is still on hold. DSA candidate Francesca Hong has an epiphany and suddenly likes Thanksgiving.

The Democrat Party just lurched harder left as progressive outsider Dr. Abdul El-Sayed narrowly crushed establishment favorite Rep. Haley Stevens in the Michigan Senate primary. Is Thanksgiving hater, and Wisconsin gubernatorial wannabe Francesca Hong next? Elsewhere Perez Hilton drops a very public cry for help. His "team" requests privacy, the internet, of course has other ideas.   

Trump tells Iran- last chance before full decapitation, Aaron Rodgers calls Tony Fauci a coward, as Rand Paul advances his contempt resolution with a vote scheduled for Thursday. Meanwhile the People's Republic of NYC will require a photo ID to buy meat, the same people who howl it's racist to require an ID to vote.  

Health & Human Services Secretary RFKJr. and CNN's Dana Bash were locked in a studio yesterday tossing around the rotting political football that is/was COVID.

Ceuta, Spain gets the Morrocan bum rush yesterday and today, Trump warns we're next if the midterms go the wrong way.  And while we're talking about Fauci, let's be honest about COVID. It is a real virus, but it got hyped, weaponized, and used by the same crowd that wants the gates wide open, the rules suspended, and the demographics rewritten. Fear as policy. Crisis as opportunity. Same playbook, different tool.

The Pageant is complete. The Theatre is closed. Fauci walks. Nobody talks. The anatomy of a scandal handled Washington D.C. style: light the stage, sell the fear, print the money, bury the receipts, and when the music stops… the dance floor is empty.    

Everyone's favorite COVID Czar joins the Capitol Hill circus, pleads the Fifth 100+ times, and gets a well deserved spanking. Rand Paul threatens contempt—possibly heading to the DOJ. Reality Check: Highly unlikely anyone will be held accountable.  

Tony Fauci bobbleheads are hitting the clearance rack harder than a lab leak denial — deep discounts all around as the 85-year-old former NIAID boss prepares to sit under the hot lights of Congress tomorrow. Rand Paul has been screaming from the rafters for years, subpoena in hand, diary pages flying, gain-of-function questions loaded… and still the real outrage remains: after the lockdowns, the mandates, the origins fog, the shifting stories, and the body count, almost nobody is likely to be held accountable for the whole COVID caper.       Tony Fauci bobbleheads are selling at a deep discount as he prepares to testify in front of Congress tomorrow. The real outage is that even with Rand Paul screaming from the rafters, no one will likely be held accountable for the COVID caper.

L.A. homeless numbers climb again after billions vanish into the void. Some "patriot" leaks WH meeting notes: we're basically out of ammo in the Mideast. Fauci's diary drops: he privately clocked COVID's kill rate at a mild 0.2-0.3%… then jacked it sky-high for Congress.               

Elon Musk Turns the Tables on Zanny Minton Beddoes, Comfortably Numb Editor of the London-Based Economist, Picture it: the velvet-gloved queen of the globalist dinner-party set flies into Texas, sits down at the Gigafactory with the man who actually builds the future… and tries to lecture him like she's still grading PPE papers at Oxford. Hilarity ensues.  

We quote the late, great writer P.J. O'Rourke: The 3 Branches of Government are, Money, Power & Bullshit.

On Capitol Hill, Pete Hegseth steps up to the mic for supplemental funding testimony and immediately brings the heat. Elsewhere, in the clown car politics dept, CA wannabe governor, Xavier Becerra declares that the only authentic tacos come from unregulated random dudes on the street — no permits, no rules, just vibes & sketchy carts.

Trump warns Houthis- try to choke the Red Sea and America will "take care of business."  Meanwhile during a police chase thru Lynwood, CA, guy being "chased" stopped for gas. He later escaped on foot. Evil Joe connects the dots between global power plays & peak LA stupidity in one unfiltered rant.

Trump is moving pieces on the global board. He handing the World Cup to Spain while Iran wheezes through its final death rattle. We break down exactly why the regime in Tehran is finished, why Spain got the golden ticket, and why strength is the only language that actually works. 

Iran's pounding, for the moment is temporarily on the back burner, so today's political firestorm is over the President's speech on election security last night. What's real and what's fake? We break it down.  

Trump addresses the Nation tonight. Will he allege the CIA & Intelligence "community" suppressed election interference in 2020? Stay tuned.

They're not just swatting judges anymore—they're ordering pizza to their houses using the name of a judge's son who got gunned down at his mom's front door in 2020. And now Amy Coney Barrett's family is catching slices too. Bridge & Tunnel week is coming, Iran's on line 1 again saying 'please daddy Trump make deal,' but we've heard it all before. This time the crust is extra crispy w/ intimidation.  

Senator Josh Hawley says we should at least look into it. Meanwhile the late Senator's sister, Darline has been appointed to serve out his term.

The US has always had the Big Stick. We've just been waiting for a cowboy to pick it up. Trump this morning declares we are the Guardian Angel of the Strait of Hormuz. We'll charge a 20% cargo fee for safe passage. Meanwhile in the wake of Lindsey Graham's sudden passing, Adam Schiff wastes zero seconds trotting out another War Powers Resolution to kneecap the whole operation.

Tucker Carlson's gone full dystopian homeboy painting A.I. as a silicone serpent slithering into our lives sucking up all the water, electricity & jobs.  Meanwhile former olympian, David Hearn pleads not guilty to TDS at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. He's looking at 10 years.

Trump doubles down on strikes, the end game-economic strangulation. Kharg Island, the Crown Jewel of Iran's oil industry is in the crosshairs.

Trump holds a press conference at the NATO meeting this AM. While giving feckless members the side eye, Iran's back on the front burner hotter than a Strait of Hormuz tanker fire. The President walks a fine line between Herbert Hoover & Teddy Roosevelt. 

Trump touches down in Ankara like he owns the place. Erdogan rolls out the red carpet thicker than a Turkish rug, and the rest of NATO gets front-row seats to the ultimate bromance sequel. Deals, dinners, (Greenland is on the menu, lol) and enough shade to power a solar farm. Hilarity? Guaranteed.     Trump is in Turkey at a NATO meeting. Hilarity ensues.

While the fireworks are still smoking ignorant people get bored. The Declaration didn't promise utopia—it armed free people with the ultimate cheat code against tyranny. 250 years in, some are still trying to cancel the source code. Others are reloading it.        

On the eve of America's 250th birthday, we're diving deep into why the Declaration of Independence remains one of the most explosive, influential, and revolutionary pieces of parchment ever written — a document that didn't just birth a nation, it lit the fuse for global freedom movements that reshaped the world.    

Buckle up, hairless apes- America's throwing a birthday bash for its bad-ass past while the Left doubles down on importing the Third World. As Trump heads to the Teddy Roosevelt Presidential Library, one side celebrates American exceptionalism, while victorious DSA candidates in Colorado wave red flags & cheer on open borders.
