Argus Hamilton's Rogue Report

• California reported a net gain in population for the 8th straight year in 2024 despite the taxes, regulations and crime. Today I witnessed one of those tender scenes of consideration you'd only see in Hollywood. I saw an elderly lady stand up in a crowded bus and offer her seat to a pregnant man.

• Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream co-founder Ben Cohen was charged with crowding and obstructing others after he was arrested while protesting Bobby Kennedy's testimony in the Senate last week. It's no surprise. Ben and Jerry's is so progressive that any day now I expect them to be Ben and Jenny's.

• The White House reacted to the pro-Hamas, anti-Semitic chaos at Harvard by banning all international students from enrolling in Harvard. These riots look foreign to me. Our campus had no Islamic population when I went to school at OU, but 5 times a day we answered the Call to Beer.

• President Trump sparred with South Africa's president over crimes against white farmers where the country is still dealing with its apartheid past. In a society where whites are on top and blacks are on bottom it's called apartheid. If blacks are on top and whites are on bottom it's called a prison shower.

• Las Vegas prosecutors formally charged a Korean communist in the torching of fifteen Teslas at a Tesla dealership last month. Every night during my jog I notice Tesla's on the road but there is always an off-duty firefighter sitting shotgun. Only in California can a Tesla self-identify as a Hibachi.

• President Trump's budget bill, which passed the House and goes to the Senate, doesn't tax tips, overtime or Social Security. Lawmakers in both parties on Capitol Hill should secretly be hoping it passes. Nancy Pelosi's husband is very nervous because until now he has not paid any taxes on her tips.

• The White House expressed relief on Thursday after the GOP House passed President Trump's huge tax-cutting budget that he calls the Big Beautiful Bill. However it only barely passed by one vote. It's not so much a Big Beautiful Bill, it's really a The Bar is Closing and So I Guess You'll Do Bill.

• Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer took to the Senate floor on Thursday to denounce Trump's Big Beautiful Bill and he warned that Democrats will do all they can to defeat it. Hillary Clinton ripped both Trump and the Big Beautiful Bill. They both made an international fool out of her.

• The Department of Justice charged New Jersey Congresswoman LaMonica McIver with assaulting law enforcement officers guarding an illegal migrant detention jail. You go girl! She's demonstrating to every American that just because you are in this country legally doesn't mean you can't break the law.

• Colombia's Congress is debating a bill to ban the sale of Pablo Escobar memorabilia praising the drug lord slain in 1993 on tee-shirts, key chains and mugs. He smuggled his product into the U.S. through Mexico. If Mexico quit exporting cocaine for a month, it'd be Americans climbing over the wall.

• Bruce Springsteen posted a video of his onstage rant against President Trump at last weekend's concert. The Boss denounced Trump's policy of deporting illegal aliens. Then he sang Born in the USA, and it got the biggest laugh since Joe Biden declared that poor kids are just as smart as white kids.

• Cheers star George Wendt was fondly eulogized by the industry on his passing Monday. Cheers was the Boston bar where everybody knows your name. At that time in the early '80s, everybody knew my name at Barney's Beanery, the Polo Lounge and Dan Tana's, but that was because I'm an alcoholic.

• NFL owners met to vote on rules changes Tuesday and defeated a vote to ban the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback sneak goal line bull-rush play called the Tush Push. It's a gang-push into the end zone. P Diddy asked for a dismissal of all charges saying that he was jailed for doing the same thing.

• Jake Tapper's book on Joe Biden's mental state raised questions about who used the Auto-Pen to sign bills. Tapper's book revealed that in 2024 Hunter Biden served as Joe's de facto Chief of Staff in the White House. Hunter had so much on his plate he had to snort coke through an Auto-Straw.

• President Trump said he thinks Biden was ill and his staffers contrived the Open Border policy, not Joe. The media played along. With all these journalists saying they didn't see any deterioration in Biden, the whole thing with Lois Lane not knowing Clark Kent was Superman makes a lot more sense.

• Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson declared eminent domain to seize Pope Leo's boyhood home from the current homeowner to use as a South Side tourist site. The owner of the seized property can't believe it. He has only been here from South Africa for 15 minutes and it's like he never left home.

• Secretary of State Marco Rubio sparred with Senate Democrats on Tuesday over his decision to admit white South African farmers as refugees. It circumvented a lot of red tape. The Democrats are angry the Afrikaners didn't come into the country through the proper channels, CNN and MSNBC.

• President Trump is accused of ambushing South Africa's president with video of tribal attacks on white farmers. CNN said the attackers want to right the wrongs of whites seizing tribal lands. I suggest casino licenses for the Zulu's, giving Africans something they've never had, namely, house odds.

• President Trump unveiled the Golden Dome system that shoots down missiles as well as attacks from satellite weapons. He's a quick study. Trump saw the necessity of preventing anti-American forces from raining destruction on U.S. soil from outer space when he saw Jeff Bezos' rocket return Gayle King..

• Canada requested Tuesday to be included in the Golden Dome defense system that shoots down incoming missiles. It's a catchy name. If I know the Trump Online Store, they also trademarked the name Golden Dome so they can market Golden Dome condoms which shoot down outgoing missiles.

• Elon Musk made news Tuesday posting some amazing videos of black-and-white Optimus robots tap dancing to big band swing music controlled by AI. Musk seems happy to be back in the creative realm. And if you don't think Elon has a sense of humor, he made the white robot the better tap dancer.
