Election season is here with a vengeance. This past week, we said and heard precisely who the challengers of former President Donald Trump are for the presidential spot of the Republican Party. We all know that Trump set a record by garnering 52% of the Iowa caucuses. Trump won more votes than did Nikki Hayley and Ron DeSantis combined. That’s a significant accomplishment. But there’s much more to come! From here to November 5th, we can expect daily “news” to be plastered on every television news show and print and internet stories. There’s much to come!
The week was full of big stories- even more than just the election. Let’s look at some of the week’s most important happenings in bullet point format. Read the several descriptive sentences about each story. If you want more details, click on the blue arrow to take you to a full story. If not, just move on to the next bullet point. It’s a great way to start a Saturday morning. Or, if you don’t have time on Saturday, come back Sunday and get set for a new news week!
Bullet Points
- “Investigations” has been the keyword passed around in the run-up to the election. Everyone knows about Donald Trump’s legal woes and criminal and private litigation. I’ve wondered how voters are processing this never-ending trial environment for a while. All are familiar with Trump’s issues. But, did you know that Joe Biden has a plate-full himself? The “Biden Family Syndicate” narrative has most voters asking for more information surrounding the Biden saga. A majority of voters want Biden investigated or impeached! How bad is it?

- Most Americans feel that our illegal immigration is the #1 issue for the U.S. Further, most Americans are emphatic that President Biden, if not purposely opening the border to allow millions of unknown immigrants into the nation, has deliberately reduced border control to at least make it easy for this flood of people. However, one former immigration official alleges and provides the process implemented by Biden’s Homeland Security with the White House. This official points out how Biden’s policies ushered in the Border Crisis.

- It was silently on most American’s minds that COVID-19 was somehow purposely created and distributed deliberately before and during the pandemic. We may never know for sure if that’s true. But, the WHO is now talking publicly about the certainty of a new, worse, and more deadly disease/virus facing us. He thinks that this type of virus/disease attack is going to happen forever and that they’ll undoubtedly be “similar” in nature when they spread across the nation and the World. He’s so sure that he’s even given these disease sources a name: “Disease X.” He explains that the name “Disease X” is nothing but a placeholder for a “current” disease when an attack occurs. And he expects them to occur almost yearly in the years ahead! For more information, click on this link:
- The print media world is in a panic. You’ll never guess which major print media publication turned the lights off on Friday. Believe it or not, the publisher of “Sports Illustrated” lays off the magazine’s entire staff! The reason given for the “pulling of the proverbial plug: MONEY! This week, the entity that produces the magazine was fired for missing a small payment to the company that owns “Sports Illustrated. The owner is a corporation named “Arena Group.” The problem with money in this relationship is that a $2.8 million payment was two weeks late. So the magazine owner “shut ‘er down!” Who would have expected this staple of sports magazines would ever have dollar woes? For complete details, click on this link:
- Have you noticed lately all the talk about China buying up U.S. land primarily located close to U.S. military bases? I must be naive because I thought our government would not allow foreign nations to buy U.S. land — especially our #1 political foe. It was released this week how much of the U.S. China owns. Do you want to guess how many acres they have quietly purchased over the past few years? Before I give you the number, it will include the acreage OTHER foreign nations have purchased in the U.S. Besides China, Russia, Iran, and Venezuela now own quite a bit of U.S. land, much of which is very close to strategic U.S. military bases — 40 million acres!

- “Talk is cheap.” How often do we hear those words? All the time! Now, with the chaos flooding our nation daily — along with millions of immigrants — the so-called political “experts” are very soon going to be forced to make their opinions known regarding the results of the upcoming 2024 presidential race. I thought it was interesting this week to hear one of the best solo news reporters give her’s. Dave Rubin penned Megyn Kelly for her prediction. She didn’t just give him the name of her pick. She added several “factors” she says will figure heavily in the choice by the American people. Who is it? For complete details, check out this video:
- Our congressman and good friend to this show, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), is feeling a lot of heat from numerous GOP members in Congress. But it’s not just from his fellow lawmakers. Former President Donald Trump is pushing Johnson to demand the elements included in the pending Southern Border funding bill be included in any bill from the House. Republicans, in large, appear to have drawn a red line demanding. All those elements in the proposal they sent to the Senate last year should be in the bill, or there won’t be a deal! What pieces are House GOP members and the former President being pressured to include? For complete details, click on this link:
- Where are all those excellent financial results for Americans that President Biden continues tossing out to those who hear his few campaign stops? Early in his administration, he sold the nation the wonders of “Bidenomics.” He beats his chest, gloating at Donald Trump and his fellow Americans with details that he implemented to “return our nation to a REAL economy.” Do you know what’s funny about that? He believes that! Sadly, almost every American is crying today about the horrors Bidenomics has turned their financial status into. The latest bad news is about home sales. December home sales slump to close out 2023 as the worst year since 1995. For complete details, click on this link:
- Alec Baldwin — the most arrogant man in Hollywood — was indicted Friday on a Manslaughter charge in the movie “Rust” shooting. You probably remember the incident on the set of the film in which Balwin shot what he thought was a “stage prop” — a gun used in movies that is supposedly loaded with blanks — and hit and killed a woman working in the film. This is the second time Baldwin has been charged for this shooting. The first came in January last year. But the charges were dropped. What is the news that prompted these legal actions?

- It was inevitable. With a razor then GOP majority in the U.S. House of Representatives, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) struggles to keep his party members happy regarding pending critical legislation. The House is diligently working daily to find ways to pull the caucus together regarding two crucial bills. Those pending bills will direct what will happen to the overdue mandatory budget for Congressional spending. Fighting between Dems and GOP House members doesn’t seem to be close to a conclusion. The second is the most volatile: elements in the bill MUST include closing the flow of illegals across the border into the U.S. There are grumblings from House Conservatives that they might consider taking the same steps they did when former Speaker McCarthy was removed as Speaker.
