Jimmy Kimmel sheds 64% of audience after short-lived ratings spike following suspension
On Thursday, "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" averaged 2.3 million total viewers — a staggering 64% drop from the 6.5 million who tuned in for Tuesday’s much-hyped return.
Kimmel shed even more viewers in the advertiser-coveted demographic of adults aged 25-54, with Thursday’s episode hemorrhaging 73% of viewers from the critical category.
"Jimmy Kimmel Live!" pulled in 1.7 million viewers among the key demo for Tuesday’s return but plummeted to 465,000 only 48 hours later.
"Jimmy Kimmel Live!" also lost significant viewers in the younger demographic of adults aged 18-49, managing 1.2 million on Tuesday but quickly losing 73% to settle for only 334,000 on Thursday.

President Donald Trump is openly embracing the conservative blueprint he desperately tried to distance himself from during the 2024 campaign, as one of its architects works to use the government shutdown to accelerate his goals of slashing the size of the federal workforce and punishing Democratic states.
In a post on his Truth Social site Thursday morning, Trump announced he would be meeting with his budget chief, “Russ Vought, he of PROJECT 2025 Fame, to determine which of the many Democrat Agencies, most of which are a political SCAM, he recommends to be cut, and whether or not those cuts will be temporary or permanent.”
The comments represented a dramatic about-face for Trump, who spent much of last year denouncing Project 2025, The Heritage Foundation’s massive proposed overhaul of the federal government, which was drafted by many of his longtime allies and current and former administration officials.
[...]
“I know nothing about Project 2025,” Trump insisted in July 2024. “I have no idea who is behind it. I disagree with some of the things they’re saying and some of the things they’re saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal. Anything they do, I wish them luck, but I have nothing to do with them.”
As I've said before, I don't mind reducing government expenses because of how bloated and wasteful they can be, but I do feel for all those who voted thinking their jobs would be safe.
I hope he's okay. Should go to Chick-fil-A or stop taking Tylenol.
Nice to see a good outcome for Bari Weiss considering how badly she was slandered and bullied by her colleagues at NY Times for "wrongthink".

In ye olde days during conflicts, where the defender is obviously on the losing side, the attacker would recognize a volley of honor or honors of war where the defender will discharge their cannons so that they did not capitulate without firing a shot. The defender may also march out with their colors and permitted to retreat without being molested. By recognizing the honors of war, the defender is allowed to save face and retreat instead of prolonging the battle with more causalities on both sides.
With recent conflict in Iran, after US strike on Iranian nuclear targets, the Iranians were permitted a volley of honor - firing back at Al Udeid Air Base with advanced notification and without retaliation after. Trump thanked the Iranians for giving advanced notice, and facilitated Israel-Iran cease fire 5 hours after the strike.

Like I said this is a lose/lose for the Dems. If they cave and get nothing they are percieved as weak and irrelevant…if they shut down the government they will be blamed and Trump will cut government jobs with a scythe…The markets tell the tale, shutdowns mean nothing….Check Mate…

Chuck Schumer’s bad shutdown bet
The party demanding extras, which is Schumer and the Democrats now, in shutdown negotiations historically loses these battles politically.

Democrats have shown a talent for political malpractice lately, but this one looks like a real boner. The Democrats can be stupid, but usually not this stupid. So why are they doing it?

Democrats: “Nobody move, or we’ll shoot ourselves!”
Republicans are prepared to turn the tables. Trump says that if the government gets shut down, he’ll have no choice but to fire government workers. There’s some logic to that. It’s not fair to employ workers you can’t pay.Democrats have shown a talent for political malpractice lately, but this one looks like a real boner. The Democrats can be stupid, but usually not this stupid. So why are they doing it?
Democrats: “Nobody move, or we’ll shoot ourselves!”
Democrats are willing to shut down the government if Republicans refuse to re-negotiate part of the tax bill passed in July. They say the main thing they want re-negotiated are government subsidies…

So instead of asking ChatGPT, how did this shutdown happen if Republicans have all the power? Is this vote a different % compared to other things?
I actually side with Republicans on this one... I'm not a fan of Obamacare or any welfare state type initiatives.

Shutdown fallout: Energy Dept. axes billions for green projects in blue states
- The Energy Department’s cancellation of more than 300 funding awards slammed the brakes on efforts to reduce carbon emissions, air and water pollution, and strengthen electrical grids.
- The cancellations of nearly $8 billion in funding were announced on Wednesday, the first day of a federal government shutdown.
- The cuts were also disclosed on the same day that the administration froze a whopping $18 billion in funding for two massive infrastructure projects in New York City — the home of Congress’s two top Democrats.
- “It is outrageous that this administration is using a government shutdown to punish blue states like Washington,” said Washington state Gov. Robert Ferguson.
