SO WAS SHE REALLY FIRED?  Former AG Pam Bondi was diagnosed with cancer shortly after being axed by Trump: report.

TRUMP IS STILL VERY MUCH IN CONTROL:  Ken Paxton’s victory in Texas has, I think, interesting implications for the national political scene. Coming on top of a string of similar events, this is very bad news for anybody who wants to think MAGA is declining in influence or Trump is a spent force.

ANYTHING INVOLVING AFRICA IS BURIED IN LAYERS AND LAYERS OF LIES AND CONFUSION, SO I UNDERSTAND PEOPLE TUNING OUT, SORRY:  The Ebola Story You’re Getting Is True. It’s Also Built to Be Forgotten. There is an Ebola outbreak in eastern Congo. People are dying. The official account is accurate and incomplete, and the missing parts are the ones that explain everything.

OH, YOU MEAN PEOPLE IN ACTUAL DANGER FOR THEIR LIVES?  Trump to admit 10,000 more white South Africans as ‘emergency’ refugees after racial violence claims. Trump claimed the South African government is inciting ‘racially motivated violence’ against White Afrikaners.

Though I half expect he’s doing it to twist the left’s tail.

IT’S BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT WHEN DOING THE ROUNDUP OF MY POSSE IN THE BASED BOOK SALE: I forgot a couple of them. Honestly, I don’t know if I forgot or if the knuckleheads didn’t tell me they had something in it. Considering how “well” I’m functioning, could be either.

MAKE IT ALL PUBLIC:  Kevin O’Leary isn’t taking the organized blitz against American energy and data-center projects lying down. After what he calls coordinated false attacks on his Utah data-center project, O’Leary says he brought in a data-science team to trace where the opposition content was coming from. His claim: it leads back to organized networks, activist groups, and funding trails — documented, he says, in IRS 990 filings and global IP data.
