We got to say it. Like, share. Also, if you're into my sub-stack, and you want to subscribe to that, there's a free side and there's a pay side. I tried to put out about one or two free things a week and three of my at least three of the paid sub-stacks a week. So check those out. The new book, American 21st Century, is out now. If you want an autographed copy, email me at AlariaWildworldHistory.com. Also, if you want the updated chapters of Patriots History, the United States that go from 2018 to 2025, email me at AlariaWildworldHistory.com. If you want to buy me

1:07a coffee, there's a link below where you can do that. And yes, we are moving forward on Patriots History. The video, I know you've heard this for a while. It takes a long time to get this amount of money, folks. I'm telling you. All right, our headlines are, and excuse me for a second, while I check these out. So our headlines are, expanded Iran attacks. The Chikams take note. A new, amazing Zoran scandal. The news of today, as always, is the history of tomorrow. In political news, US and Israel crossed an invisible line by attacking Iranian oil facilities. Previously, this was a no-no. The New York Slimes is freaking out because as shown below from David Blackman, the US no longer needs Middle Eastern oil. But everybody else does. As Blackman points out, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz did not occur because of mines or missiles, but because of letters from seven insurance companies, most notably, Lloyd's of London.

2:13Maybe the Euros would consider backstopping the insurers. Well, President Trump did. Jeff Childers points out in his column the other day that the new attacks differ from all previous strikes in that they are deliberately targeting Iran's domestic oil production that supports its military and missiles and its mullets. Previously, as he noted, there was a gentleman's agreement that you don't step on. My blue suede shoes are rather, in this case, don't let miss with Iran's oil. Well, that's gone now. To replace the Missing Iranian oil, the administration has ease sanctions on Rusky oil. Oh, and by the way, China imports over 13 percent of its total oil from Iran. That would be like every day. That means that the Chikams have already lost two of their main sources of oil, Venezuela and Iran. And we're about to see Rusky oil redirected westward

3:17or to India. And as always, the Panacans and the Pandits miss the larger strategy that is setting China up for an energy knockout. And if you think this isn't affecting China, think again, as the Chikams haven't flown any flights at all over Taiwan or near Taiwan in more than a week. And then we have this story. The Chikams are in uber censorship mode, fearing pictures of Iranians in the streets might give their own consumer slaves ideas. I'm not sure this is going to work. Trump says he won't sign any other bills until the SAVE Act is passed. But that would deprive DHS Homeland Security of deportation funds. Plus, it makes Congress look like the good guys. Hey, we tried passing bills at any rate for now. President Trump's approval, especially on the issues, is soaring. I mean, it's a little unexpected, but it's way up there. Here's a list of all

4:23the voting law changes in multiple states. Most of these are pretty good. Though a couple, such as in Colorado, will invite more mischief rather than more voter integrity. You might want to keep up with Seth Keshell. He's on a book tour right now with his new book. Hold on, let me get you the exact title. I don't want to mess it up. So the title of Seth's new book is the American war on election corruption. And it's doing pretty well. So you might want to check that out. He also has his sub stack captain case corner where he gives regular routine updates on all things related to elections. While shipwrecked crew doesn't begin to cover all the victories that Pam Bondi's DOJ has had, he outlined some of the most consequential ones in this column. Anybody whining that Bondi hasn't arrested the right people is just in a different universe. She has with a significantly

5:27reduced manpower and with many appointees still not yet confirmed, simply been the most consequential attorney general in American history. She sliced and diced all DEI is almost certain to win the case overturning Humphries executor. This is a very big case that will give Trump extremely broad powers and is something like 33 and one. I've lost count, but she's something like 33 and one in upper court rulings and on appeals. Most of those had to do with firing people in the swamp or deporting illegals. In other words, Bondi has been a phenomenally effective attorney general and only people are whining because they haven't seen James Comey in handcuffs or nonsense like that. It's not going to happen. The good stuff folks, the important stuff may not be glitzier sexy, but the important stuff is happening. Dr. Mehmet Oz is officially investigating the New York Medicaid system

6:32for fraud. Republican members of Congress referred Cassidy Hutchinson for charges on perjury. Hutchinson is the chick. You might remember who said Trump got so upset on Patriot Day J6. They tried to grab the wheel of the secret service limo, which is observed if you know how those things are set up. And it's a story proven false every which way but loose. California Republican Darryl Issa gave up his reelection bid after his district was redrawn to Democrats. This doesn't really count as a loss or somebody resigning in my list because it was already baked into the Democrat gains in redistricting, but this is a good guy and we'll miss him. See, you can make these people fall of the law. California has been forced to cancel over 13,000 drivers licenses of illegals and other immigrants due to the Fed's new mandates.

7:33Who's really inciting violence? Young men, in cells? No, this study shows it's women, the awfuls. I still believe the Democrats really, really want the amazing so-or-on to emerge as their candidate, though a significant minority know he'd lose in a ducacus-like landslide and they're supporting cackles. But here's yet another scandal. This time his wife liked to post about Hamas attacks on Israel. I don't know if this guy's going to survive long enough to be the nominee. In illegal criminal alien news, this illegal criminal alien voted in five different presidential elections. Huh? A certain Arizona data knew said this was impossible. Can't happen. What morons inhabit the Rhino Democrat wings? It's just amazing. Principal Dizzy Sullivan of King Chavez High School in San Diego opened a door for a fleeing illegal violence serial criminal and let him run loose in the building

8:40with students. Person needs to be shipped off to San Quentin. In cultural news, this homage to the Great Rush Limbaugh kind of gets it. It's not just the structure and delivery mechanisms, though, that changed after Rush died five years ago. Rush to this day has never been replaced on the yearwaves. Clay and Buck are not even pale imitators. They're always a few days behind the real news that is to say what's really happening behind the scenes. Rush was always, at least on top of it, if not ahead. By reading Hoax News stories and playing Hoax News clips, Rush would then explain what the Democrats are really trying to do. It was usually 180 degrees opposite of what they said or what they were doing at the time. But most of all, even conservatives still failed to understand what a unique political analyst Rush was. I listened to him constantly since the 1990s

9:44and only heard him make maybe two major predictive errors. He said Hillary Clinton wouldn't run for the Senate in 2000, I think it was 2000 or 2002, because she didn't want to lose a race. And then he also said, as did I, that Biden wouldn't be the nominee in 2020, just wouldn't make it that far. So I joined him in that errors. I said Rush usually could read the stitches on a Democrat fastball and seldom miss. He came to Trump only a little late by about the fall of 2015, but then he steadily increased in his appreciation for what Trump was and what he meant to the country. I don't care what the format is or how culture has changed. I'm telling you if Rush was still alive and healthy, he'd still have 20 million listeners. The New York Marathon,

10:48but it's not going to be a marathon, because if you can't run the whole thing, well, you just say you did, pretend you did, and you're still going to get the medal or the award for finishing the marathon. This is where we are folks. In Trans-Oton News, Jennifer says powerful new pro-woman campaign called Look at Her. These are great ads. Makes it perfectly clear that actual suffering and injustice is caused by men pretending to be women in female sports, not by the poor transoids who are harmed by society. In economic news, energy fortress America, David Blackman explains how the U.S. has utterly slashed any oil requirements it has from other countries, going from three million barrels a day in 2003 from the Middle East to under 500,000 a day now. Domestic crude production is up 145 percent in that same period. Chrysler Dodge's EV company, Stellantis, blew $26 billion on electric vehicles than nobody wants.

11:55Shake Shack, a burger chain over which I'm just me, but Mrs. LS loves it, it's starting to slide over its devious attempt to build in tips into all of its prices, even those for takeout, and people don't like it. President Trump, where did he go? He was right here. President Trump says that the CEOs, a major defense contractors, agreed to quadruple production of elite weaponry. The shift in where Americans spend their money is pretty stark. E-commerce is up 250 percent since 2015 and restaurants and bars are up 105 percent. Well, here comes AI. As Morgan Stanley, despite profits of 14 percent, is going to lay off 3 percent of its global workforce due to AI. Cracker Bear, remember them? The CEO pointed to a Google 5-star rating,

12:58touting that while business is down, about 7.9 percent decline in revenue. CEO Julie Messing said that she felt like she had been fired by America after the rebranding thing went through. Yeah, how about that? In international news, the Iranians were busy little beavers attempting to rebuild their nuke sites. You know, US and Israel reburied those things. Trump announced he does not want the Kurds to enter the war. I think this is wise. Soon, if they get in trouble, they beg for US military support and we be trapped between abandoning an ally or expanding the war. Meanwhile, the newly designated top target in Iran is the former Kamenis son. Now, I'll go into it more on Wednesday. Jeff Childers has a great analysis analysis here of what all this means. In short, Iran went from being a monarchy

14:02to being a mullemarky. Whatever that might be. It is that now they have inherited positions among Mullahdom. So we'll see how that works out for these guys. I don't know. I give this guy about a week unless he cooperates. Otherwise, he's going to end up room temperature like his dad. So far, it looks like Iranians think they still can do damage targeting Israeli oil refineries and a desolation plant in Bahrain. Green screen Zalinsky threatened to threaten hungaries, Prime Minister Victor Orban, with military reprisals. If he didn't get on board with EU EU spending, others, however, such as the Slovak Republic supported Orban and criticized little green screen. Who, by the way, is bearing the brunt of the reallocation of energy in Europe away from Ukraine and back to home countries. Euros, meanwhile, are way, way down in their gas

15:07storage. They're only 29 percent reserved now. And cargo ships are diverting elsewhere because of Iran. Don't worry, little Euros. You got windmills. US has quote, formerly and officially recognized the new Venezuelan government under Delciro de Gas. Woodrow Wilson, each your heart out. Trump accomplished the overthrow of an evil drug peddling narco spooge without a single US death. Mediocre, British royal naval carrier, Prince of Wales, was ordered to sail from the Middle East immediately. Well, in five days, it seems the Brits can't even put to see one functional carrier. They're all in being worked on. In entertainment news, I don't know if you know this guy. Singer Morrissey, I like him a lot. He used to be with the Smiths. His solo albums are quirky, to say the least. The guy has an amazing voice, but I think he has a

16:09wonderful talent for writing weird lyrics. Anyway, his sold out shows a new record deal may prove that the cancel culture is dead once and for all. Some of his lyrics include the following. It's not your birthday anymore, where he tells this person to grow up and someone is squeezing my skull. Priced NFL Las Vegas Raiders defensive in Max spelled with two X's. Crosby was traded to the Baltimore Ravens for a whopping two first rounders and a deal reminiscence of the Micah Parsons trade to Green Bay, which didn't work out too well for the cheeseheads. It ended with his knee injury, which terminated his season, and the Packers were bounced from the playoffs. Crosby, though, makes any team better. No question about that. Although how long your Ravens will remain better without draft fixes, you know, up in the air. And the Cowboys were thought to have had the inside

17:13track on Crosby, but would not wisely give up two number one picks. Absolutely the right call. And I do stand by my view. The trading Parsons was absolutely the right thing to do. And then in the long run, he is not going to help Green Bay all that much. In Medical News, another study, this is the second one I've had in about a month shows a coffee intake slows mental aging. This is extremely troubling. We already knew culture was trying to eliminate men, especially manly men. Now we see there are pathologies surrounding the 20 to 30 year old males that were previously not seen until 30 years later, most notably low testosterone and hormonal decline. It's like somebody has declared a war on manhood. And finally, I'm all for giving kids snacks. I get it, but we gummies, and that's not a good idea. Three kids went to the ER after kids were

18:16given the drug-laced candy to celebrate another kid's birthday. If you're going to do that, just give them lines of coke. Then they'd be eighth graders within a week. Anyway, that's it for today. I will be back on Wednesday like share folks by Larry a coffee just one by Larry a coffee. Let's get this movie made. And I will see you guys back here on Wednesday.
