042126 Dispatch: Missing Scientists, Boozing Cabinet Members, Crooked Politicians ... and More

It’s Tuesday, April 21 and a new dispatch is in hand!

First, the good news. My editing project is over and I should be getting to a regular schedule. (It had been extended a week.)

Now, the bad news. I didn’t save 15% on my car insurance.

Meanwhile, my latest Daily Signal article is up and running “The Horses Approach the Gate for the 2028 Democrat Primary.” Fun stuff. Give it a go if you have a chance.

Huge Day for Virginia: Virginia Voters Will Decide Whether to Screw 80% of Republicans in the State Out of Their Congressional Representation.

Yes, it’s the odious ballot measure that would ignore the state’s previous rules on redistricting and simply redraw the lines to take away 4 of the 5 seats now held by Republicans, turning a 6-5 delegation into a 10-1 delegation.

If you want to be California without the nice warm winters, go ahead.

Barack Obama was pushing the referendum again this weekend, saying it would “level the playing field.” Only a Kenyan con artist would say taking something that is 6-5 and turning into 10-1 levels a playing field.

God, I wish Patrick Henry was on X. The notion that some royal … in our terms “elitist” leftist … governor could simply do away with representation of the people would set him aflame. George Washington would saddle up for one more fight against tyranny. Jefferson would again pick up his pen, and then start building an exquisite home in Florida.

Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-Deremer Has Resigned

First Noem, then Bondi, now Chavez-Deremer. Here come the “Trump Hates Women” story.

Chavez-Deremer, a Democrat, has been under investigation for a whole bunch of shenanigans including her husband being accused of harassing female staff members, some boozing, curious travel expenses, maybe even a bit of hanky-panky with a member of her security detail.

I guess you can call her a Clinton Democrat.

No way a Trump appointee was going to survive allegations of sexual harassment, not when Democrats had to give up their boy Swalwell.

Chavez-Deremer was accused of drinking on the job. “And the problem with that?” asked Nancy Pelosi.

Interestingly, just three days ago Polymarket pegged the Labor Secretary as the next cabinet member to go.

RFK Jr. was pegged as the next cabinet member to go dine on roadkill raccoon.

FBI Director Kash Patel Sues The Atlantic for $250 Million After Anonymously Sourced Story Accused Him of Being an Absentee Lush

Given how crime is falling, I’d say send him a gift card to Total Wine and Spirits.

Former FBI Director James Comey helped run a rogue operation to overthrow the president of the United States, and then openly called for his murder … and The Atlantic wants to do a story about alleged drinking?!

The Atlantic is just jealous Patel got to party with the gold-medal winning USA hockey team.

Apple CEO Tim Cook is Stepping Down Later This Year

Or should I say, Apple is getting an update.

Do you get anything for trading in your old CEO?

Cook replaced the late great Steve Jobs. Which is a bit like taking Michael Jordan’s spot on the Bulls.

Trump Alternating Between Saying Iran is Going to Be Annihilated and the World Will Enjoy the Deal He’s Making With Iran

We’re on a roller coaster that you don’t need to be 4 feet tall to ride.

The Iranian hardliners have only one asset left: American Democrats.

The White House is Looking Into the Strange (and Scary) Rash of Deaths and Disappearances of High-Level Scientists With Connections to Nukes and UFOs

11 scientists connected to aerospace or nuclear programs have died under odd circumstances or disappeared since 2024. Three alone from Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

I knew that little turd ET was up to no good. Never bought that “Phone home” biz.

This story has me a bit spooked. I saw “Terminator 2.”

What would make the story even spookier is if it turns out Nancy Guthrie is a scientific genius.

Cher Just Found Out She’s Been a Grandmother For Years

Apparently, her troubled son Elijiah Blue Allman, not to be confused with her former daughter Chaz, fathered a daughter 15 years ago, and didn’t bother to tell Cher about it.
But now Cher and the girl have a relationship.

The funniest part? It’s the girl who says, “Are you REALLY going to wear that out of the house?”

Until next time!
