Everybody, how you doing? I told you I'd be back today. I'm late, but I am back. And this is today's News March 6, 2026, though, weekend edition. I'm your host, Larry Swyckart, bringing you all the headlines. You can get all the links, all the full stories below here on the wild world of politics. My new book, America in the 21st century is out. I'm doing okay. Grab a copy. If you want an autographed copy, email me at LarryWildWorldHistory.com. If you want the two updated chapters to Patriots History of the United States, email me at LarryWildWorldHistory.com. Got nothing better to do with your money by Larry a coffee. That's always appreciated. Like, share. Oh, yeah, by Larry a coffee. All right, we did that. headlines. No reassigned. Unconditional surrender demanded from Iran. Bad, good jobs report.
I will get into these in political news. Let's see here. What do we have? Oh, yeah. Let's do this. President Trump reassigned. It's important. He did not say he fired her. He did not fire. At least I cannot find that language in any statement by Trump only by the hoax news media. So Trump reassigned Christie Nome from heading the Department of Homeland Security. There were two issues as I see it. First, she spent 200 million on a DHS ad campaign, okay, in and of itself, to encourage illegals to go home. The problem was that A, she apparently did not clear it with Trump. She said she did. He didn't remember it that way. He said, I don't recall. There's no paperwork involving that. You know, if I'm her, I'm always going to clear it with Susie Wildes, but that's just me. And B, she put her beautiful face on the campaign ads. And now people who
work with Trump, you can ask Steve Bannon about this one. Realize he is the star. He's the Jerry Jones of DC, both are more super balls. Don't try to upstage the boss. He will promote you if he wants to promote you. Second, she and Corey Lewandowski, never a favorite of mine, apparently engaged in an illicit relationship despite her denials, both of them are married. This in and of itself wouldn't bother Trump. He's not the, you know, moral guardian of the nation, so long as it remained quiet, but neither will he allow people to overtly slime up the administration. Now, Technofog, who I respect a great deal, thinks it has more to do with sweetheart deal contracts than anything else. At any rate, Trump has appointed Oklahoma US Senator Mark Wayne Mullin of Cherokee descent as her successor. He will almost certainly be confirmed.
He's a pretty good guy, hard and populist, but a resurfaced video has him calling the murderer cop Michael Bird, who shot Ashley Babbitt, a hero. It's going to be a problem. I like Mark Wayne, but he has some slain than to do. He's going to have to recamp that one. Trump was also bothered. It is reported by the ICE deaths in Minnesota. In my view, both will deserve, but of course, Trump wants his cake and wants to eat it too. All illegal is gone without any fuss, mus or bloodshed, which just isn't going to happen. Unfortunately, it's going to be impossible given the evil, vile, violent nature of the left. They're going to violently oppose any attempt to get rid of illegals. Nome has been reassigned to head up the shield for the America's task force, more on that later. Now, Jeff Childers, who I respect also a great deal, sees this as part of a
much larger, absolutely strategic, massive, restructuring plan in which, like a pro football general manager, Trump has gotten a GOP younger by, on average, 15 years in seven different senate replacements. Meanwhile, as Jeff correctly asks, who is on the Democrat bench? What's their succession plan? And as he correctly answers, that would be nobody. Still, here is why you don't fire or even reassign someone like Nome when they are under fire from Democrats. This is Axios. Quote, Democrats turn their sights to Bondy after Nome firing. Unquote, folks, you can never, ever, ever, ever, ever given inch to these people. What you do is you wait a few months if you really want to get rid of Nome and you do it quietly after the fact. Besides, all these right-wing
influencers are telling us that Bondy didn't steer the Democrats, why would they want her gone now? So this will continue to unfold. I hope not in a bad way. Mix signals today, but Janine Piro, the DC top prosecutor, says the investigation into the auto pin, is not over contradicting an earlier statement that the investigation had ended. Trump wants unconditional surrender from the Mullahs in Iran. Then he said the U.S. will help quote, rebuild the country. I hope rebuild is limited to a few oil well specialists. No more bush rebuilding the country with nation building. Georgia's legislature is looking at a bill that would allow property owners to sue local governments that don't keep the homeless off their property. Good. I support this 1000%. Some 350 members of Congress voted against making the public, making public the sexual harassment claims
against them. Shocked, I tell you. Shocked. A Wisconsin blodged podger was sentenced to seven years in prison for trying to burn down a congressman's office. And in a couldn't happen to a nicer person moment, the mayor of groomer city was attacked downtown by quote, a quote, crowd of bombs. That's that's a headline. How dare they use such language to label home challenged people with alternative affections for drugs? Come on. Get into the 21st century. Trump's approval now is higher than either that of Barack Obama or dubia in their administrations at the same point. Gosh, you know, sometimes I miss Ruta Vega. He just told a mostly black crowd at the funeral of the irreverent Jesse Jackson that quote, I'm a hell of a lot smarter than most of you. Unquote. This comes on the heels of the elagenous, booty-racious gruesome telling a black audience that he
was just like them because he couldn't read. Typical, a Democrat congressman stated the union guest was named in a police report or multiple police reports rather involving sexual assault and juveniles. But no, let's talking about Christy gnome having an affair. Trump made it clear to can't carry a thune that is Senator John Thune, the Senate majority leader, and John Cornhole that he won't make an endorsement in the Texas Senate race until the SAVE Act is, quote, on my desk. Now, Ken Paxton, who's likely going to win that primary race against Cornhole, said he'd drop out of the race. If Thune overrode the silent filibuster and then passed the SAVE Act, what would be perfect is if Paxton stays in, SAVE Act passes, Trump then endorses Cornhole, and Paxton still
wins. I can live with that. In Epstein files, new student sleuths at the University of Florida have revealed that one of the people in the new UF presidential search had, quote, stronger ties to Epi than first thought. Wait for this guy to slip on a banana peel and withdraw. Meanwhile, Jolaine Maxwell and the candidate himself, Doug Bande, had emails with, quote, flirtatious language. She said she was, quote, plotting disgusting, and that's spelled that way in the email, plotting disgusting things with you or I should say to your body, unquote, and Bande reply, quote, and what I would do to you two cheekas, unquote. Oh, Bande was one of the Clinton's right hand men after Slick's presidency. Epi was an early investor in a condo owned by Shreklet, Chelsea Clinton.
Nothing odd about that, right? In criminal alien news, a trifecta, Trump has won another deportation case before the soup's seven to two with Kagan siding with the conservatives on this one. Trump, a rather Bande, also won a case in the ninth circuit, which said suspending all refugee programs is entirely lawful and that Congress gave Trump the power to do it. Take that. Also, the seventh circuit vacated an injunction in the use of force by ICE. That's a pretty good day for Trump. In cultural news, this assessment of woke by a woman named Helen Andrews says that it was brought about totally by the way women try to get their way, namely through feminine techniques, and that it's extremely important that, quote, everybody gets their say, according to women,
even their stupid or wrong. Men wage conflict openly. Women can't or won't. More important, men develop methods to wage war and then settle the piece quickly. While women, well, just won't let go of it. If the authorist, if as the authorist writes, the law becomes feminized, then the whole system of law will look like a keger Kavanaugh hearing. Andrews concludes by saying, quote, it is an artificial result of social engineering. And if we take our thumb off the scale, it, meaning feminized, woke, will collapse within a generation, unquote. In economic news, the failed state of California with itself imposed gas crisis is now looking at $8 a gallon gas. I can believe it. We here in Phoenix get our gas from California. And today our gas was back up over $4 a gallon.
In a surprise, the US lost 92,000 jobs last month. However, foreign-born employees fell by 519,000 since 2025. And American-born employees increased by 128,000. So what you're seeing is a great replacement of foreign employees by American employees. It's a fundamental restructuring of the US workforce in the right way. Oh, an ADP jobs group says that private sector employment rose by over 63,000 in this report and pay is increased by 4.5%. Now some of the overall decline in jobs may be Iran. Some of this may be the fallout from the soup's tariff decision. The whole thing has until in my estimation around August to get turned around or it will hurt Republicans at the ballot SK battery also laid off a thousand due to falling EV demands. So you've got to factor that in
as well. Meanwhile, the US has cut its trade deficit in half since liberation day. In international news, my sub-stack yesterday was the dragon in the room about a long-term objective of the Iran strikes as further weakening China. It's working. Not all are pleased. Qatar is canceling its gas delivery contracts due to threats from Iran. Meanwhile, the Ruskis are foolishly giving Iran targeting information to attack US assets. This is something even Gorby didn't do in desert storm. Meanwhile, Iran has delayed naming a new supreme leader possibly because said person has the shelf life of an open can of tuna fish. You know, in the Napoleonic age, a British flag bearer lasted just a few minutes on the battlefield because the French would target them. One regiment went through seven before it finally swung into action,
meaning an Iranian supreme leader couldn't even last as long as a liney flagman. The BBC is being shredded for editing a peaked headset speech just shortly after they tried to do the same with Trump and may end up with a massive contribution to the Donald J. Trump presidential library. Scottish police are hiding asylum hotel-related crimes out of fears it might spark violence. You know, more violent than a gang rape by Muslim giggled diggers. Trump has organized Latin America into a conservative shield of the America's organization with Kristi Nome leading the operation. I guess she wasn't fired after all. Those brave and oh so human conucks are offering same-day suicide now, including to one elderly lady who changed her mind and they said, too bad you're going anyway toots. In entertainment news,
President Trump realized there is a quote, lightness problem involving athletes, entertainers and executives due to AI and is getting involved. Very interesting trailer release news. Now bear with me on this. Normally, this wouldn't even be a thing. But if Disney is to survive, it absolutely must restore Marvel to its in-game level heights or popularity. The Russo Brothers, who are producing and directing the new Doomsday and Secret Wars trilogy, Doomsday will be a stand-alone followed by a two-parter Secret Wars, ruled out a totally different teaser campaign at the end of several current movies, most notably the latest Avatar Stick, which I have no interest in at all. These teasers were focused on usually single characters such as Thor or Steve Rogers, Captain America. And so far there have been 10 of these teasers. Folks, these trailers have had
one billion views worldwide just so far. More important, it is interesting to listen to the audience reactions when these are shown, when different people actors appear on the screen, with huge cheers for the X-Men, especially Cyclops, Wolverine, Storm and Nightcrawler, big cheers for Dr. Strange. But interestingly, dead silence for a couple of the Phase 3, Phase 4 Wolksters, such as Monica Rambo that nobody cares about, nothing, nothing at all for them. Now, I wonder if the Russo Brothers are watching these reactions, because my sense is that they know they must absolutely top in-game. We'll see, but you can't discount one billion views of even a new tonal clipper, let alone a new movie. Leave it to the evil Keith Oldbird Dork to issue a
fecal rap sandwich. He called the great Lou Holtz who died last week a, quote, scumbag. Maybe Oldbird Dork was really referring to the referent, Jesse Jackson. After taking a beating for allowing one of their board members, Susan Rice to cost them a lucrative deal with Warner Brothers, Netflix now has also dumped Megsett and the Ginger Duke, the Megan and Harry, cutting ties with their as ever brand, so maybe they're waking up there at Wolkville. In medical news, the New York legislature has advanced legislation to prevent AI chatbots from dispensing medical information or advice. New York, I think that robot has already left the building. Now, some of the demonic vaxiopaths are saying, yeah, heart damage from the China virus vaxes was real, but it's, it's all been resolved. And I say, hell to the know,
a new meeting coming up in about two weeks with the advisory committee on immunization practices, a, a sip or a tip, I don't know, a sip, I think. It will review procedures. It will take up a new code in which there will be new code items, including a medical code for Vax injury. This is big. Once this code exists, injuries can be tracked, they exist, and there will be restitution. Or in other words, for the first time, the authorities in all states will have to admit that the vaxes were dangerous and deadly. And finally, what could go wrong? Researchers of engineered bacteria to quote colonize in the eyeball to ensure faster dealing. I think I'll pass. Anyway, that's today's news. The weekend edition. I'll see you guys back here Monday,
like share, buy Larry a coffee and pick up my new book, America in the 21st century. I'll see you guys back here on Monday.
