The Morning Report — 11/28/24

Good morning kids, and a very Happy Thanksgiving to you all! It's one thing to mindlessly shriek at Lake Michigan because someone you've been brainwashed into believing is literally Hitler won the closest thing to a landslide presidential election which perhaps is an utter rejection of the shriekers' warped worldview.

Sure we can laugh at these crackpots but remember, anyone of them could just as easily been yet another potential latter day Squeaky Fromme or John Hinkley along with the two or three that mercifully tried and failed to take Trump out prior to the election. While sadly, it is not a stretch to expect perhaps another attempt in the next four years. But since political violence, as a legitimate means to obtain, expand and maintain political power has always been the purview of the Democrat Left, nigh on 200+ years, the field of potential targets expands way beyond merely President-elect Trump.

Many of President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet picks had their lives threatened Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.

Fox News first reported almost a dozen of Trump’s cabinet picks and appointees were threatened.

“Last night and this morning, several of President Trump’s Cabinet nominees and Administration appointees were targeted in violent, unAmerican threats to their lives and those who live with them,” said incoming White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt in a press release from the Trump-Vance transition team

“These attacks ranged from bomb threats to ‘swatting.’ In response, law enforcement and other authorities acted quickly to ensure the safety of those who were targeted. President Trump and the entire Transition team are grateful for their swift action,” she added.

“President Trump and the Transition are focused on doing the work of uniting our nation by ensuring a safe and prosperous future. With President Trump as our example, dangerous acts of intimidation and violence will not deter us,” she concluded.

I suppose when old-fashioned smear tactics, lies and kangaroo courts won't work, (vis a vis Gaetz, Hegseth and Trump himself) the notion of having to dodge bullets or perhaps putting out the flames on the backs of your spouse and kids might dampen one's enthusiasm to be a part of the MAGA cabinet. Remember, it's not just about unhinged loons convinced that denying them the absolute human right!!! to kill unborn children, or surgically and/or chemically castrate them, or teach them that the greatest nation and society in human history is evil and illegitimate. It's about those in power who have pimped this insanity and every other Leftist scam/scheme to get to the top of the heap and have no intention of relinquishing any of it.

"Pour encourager les autres" as they say in French. Tom Homan, Trump's pick to head DHS and who will spearhead, please God an Operation Wetback to end all Operation Wetbacks had this to say:

‘If You Want Something, Come Get Some’: Tom Homan

Bravo. Bravissimo. Remember, that a number of blue shithole cities and states have stated openly their intention to commit insurrection by openly defying Federal law enforcement if not openly encouraging violent confrontation between local law enforcement and federal agents.

Remember that the Swamp is ugly, dark and deep, and extends way beyond DC to state capitals and city halls all over these virtually disunited states of America.

On the flip side of that, this item gave me a reaction not unlike an adolescent Sefton riding the bus to school with the loose-leaf pressed down in my lap.

Elon Musk: Alexander Vindman ‘Committed Treason,’ Will ‘Pay the Appropriate Penalty’

Now do John Brennan, and all the other spooks, ham 'n eggers and others who fabricated the cases against Trump and covered up for Biden. Add Pelosi and Capitol cop Michael Byrd along who both are culpable in he execution-style slaying of Ashli Babbitt, with all those who stomped Roseanne Boyland to death on 1/6/21.

Somehow, I can't imagine the Swamp being satisfied to just march over to Chesapeake Bay and just scream at the water.

Meanwhile in the middle east, it looks as if Bibi Netanyahu has been strong-armed into accepting some sort of ceasefire with Hezbollah up in Lebanon. Which of course sends all the wrong messages to all the wrong "people."

Hamas, the Iran-backed terrorist organization that started the ongoing war in the Middle East on October 7, 2023, and still holds 101 Israeli hostages, said Wednesday that it also wants a ceasefire, as a deal in Lebanon took effect. Israel and Hezbollah, the Iran-backed terror group in Lebanon that started firing at Israel on October 8 in solidarity with Hamas, reached a deal that took effect Wednesday morning. Once, Hezbollah vowed that it would not sign any ceasefire deal with Israel unless the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) left Gaza. But Hezbollah, suffering losses after the IDF stepped up the battle in September, decided to sign a separate deal, leaving Hamas to face the IDF without help.

Wow. Bibi can't go just two months until sanity in the form of Donald Trump is back in the White House. The malign influence of the Israeli Left in the Knesset notwithstanding.

And, something that I never learned in school, but only by listening to the late Rush Limbaugh of blessed memory. The True meaning and history of the Thanksgiving holiday. Socialism/Collectivism kills.

Well my dear friends, in wishing you all a happy Thanksgiving, I give thanks for your continued prayers for my health, as well as your continued support and comradeship.

• The gloves are off, and the days of tolerating the FBI’s overreach are over.
