The Morning Report — 1/23/25

Good morning kids. As CBD and I noted with glee on the latest episode of the podcast (here and in the sidebar)

President Trump in just the first 48 hours and his team are making all the right moves on a number of fronts in beginning the process of staunching the trauma and bleeding to our nation inflicted on us over the past four years and really going back much longer than that, most especially in regards to the intentional erasure of our border and insane immigration policies that together are as destabilizing and destructive as a nuclear attack.

As you have read many times in my commentary, and no doubt fully comprehend without my constant reminders because you have more than two functioning synapses unlike the venal vegetable who inflicted this disaster on us, evil never rests.

Despite the dislocation, disaster, disease and dissolution that millions of imported third world peasants inflict, and primarily on them, blue state, city and county dictatorial dilettante Democrat Devil-worshipping degenerates have drawn a line in the sand and have announced that they fully intend to resist any attempts by the Trump administration to find, detain and ultimately deport any illegal aliens found in their jurisdictions.

I'm no Dershowitz, Turley or other legal eagle but forget the murderers, rapists, drug and human traffickers as well as potential and actual terrorists and spies from Islamic nations and Red China, even a wetback lettuce-picker (Leftist icon/hero Cesar Chavez's words, not mine!) the mere act of setting foot on our soil without our permission, is in and of itself a federal crime. Any Mayor, Governor, County Executive or other elected official to knowingly allow that to me qualifies as aiding and abetting a felony. And then to impede the investigation and apprehension of each case is also a felony.

So, charge the Brandon Johnsons, Elizabeth Warrens, Kathy Hochuls, Tina Koteks and all the others with however many tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of counts, prosecute them and send them to a a Federal prison and throw away the key.

Either that, or revoke statehoods, city charters, abolish their governments and return them to territorial status to be governed by a designated official from the Trump administration.

Regardless of whatever action may or may not happen to counter this insubordination and dare I say it "INSURRECTION" which is a word the Democrats should never be allowed to use, given their history, but I digress.

The problem with Trump and company fighting back is they depend upon people and institutions, most notably the courts, who have been so corrupted over the course of many decades that their willingness to abrogate their oaths to preserve protect and defend the Constitution from enemies foreign and domestic, presents a gigantic obstacle. Potentially, it also presents a pretty big opportunity. Look at Trump's absolutely righteous EO correctly slamming the insane notion of the 14th Amendment granting birthright citizenship to anyone whose offspring are spawned within our borders. Of course the usual gang of idiots and liars will claim past precedent via a SCOTUS ruling or whatever. Which is funny considering the geschrei when SCOTUS reversed Roe. And that of course raises the issue of 200 years of judicial overreach of a corrupted court.

True, much of the opposition to Trump is personal, but it's based on the fact that his mission is to denude the Deep State of its ill-gotten and abused power to impose its will on the citizenry, be it for ideological reasons, venality and likely both. It must be confronted and smashed, directly and fearlessly. Trump is demonstrating he has the will to do it. Does he have the allies in and out of government to see it through. Time will tell. For the present time, he does have the political winds at his back, given that especially the illegal alien invasion issue and concomitant criminality that came with it is likely what propelled him across the finish line with what really was in the last analysis a legitimate landslide victory, given the nature of modern electoral politics these days.

But traitors still abound:

A Florida man released from jail after President Trump pardoned Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot prisoners is back behind bars Wednesday on unrelated federal gun charges from nearly two years ago. 

The arrest warrant for Daniel Charles Ball, 39, was filed in the US District Court for the Middle District of Florida last August, on charges of possessing a firearm and ammunition as a convicted felon, and court filings show he was arrested on Wednesday — one day after a slew of charges related to his alleged involvement in the Capitol riot were dismissed. The Homosassa, Fla., resident was arrested by local law enforcement officers in May of 2023 for his alleged role in the riot. 

There was no riot. All the violence that day was committed either by FBI plants and Pelosi's Capitol PD to stage an insurrection and thus have cause to arrest both Trump and people like Ball.

So now that he and thank goodness so many others were freed, the mythological big lie narrative of 1/6 pimped by the Left is crumbling to dust, and they of course cannot have that.

But what the heck is going on? Who is running the DoJ right now. I don't think Pam Bondi has been confirmed yet. That said, the only reason this man is being charged is to stick a finger in Trump's eye. Time for Bondi and DISCIPLINE!!!!

Along with the aforementioned local and state politicians, this kind of entrenched rot still abounds. We still have a Deep State and the cancer must be excised until every last vestige is removed with as much extreme prejudice as can be mustered.

But of course, the real problem is Elon Musk, who evidently is a Nazi because he supposedly gave a Seig Heil salute at the Inauguration, Personally, given the fact that Musk is America's leading African-American citizen, I find this slur against him to be an abomination.

Funny enough, the biggest mouth this rotten sewage emanates from is none other than you guessed it. Ironic given who and what Titty-Caca is and says:

The year is 2025; World War II ended 80 years ago. Spoiler alert: Hitler didn’t win. But apparently, Nazis are still everywhere. Putin claimed the Nazis are in Ukraine. Biden claimed the Russians are the Nazis. Hamas claimed the Nazis are in Israel. Governor Trudeau apologized for honoring a Nazi in the Canadian parliament. It’s been alleged that Nazis are inspiring communist China and their close ally, North Korea. Nazis, Nazis, Nazis!  Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), the 35-year-old ex-bartender, would probably disagree with all the above Nazi sightings — but with one notable exception: Hamas is right: The Israelis ARE Nazis. Along with her fellow Squad members, AOC and her cohorts never miss an opportunity to vilify the Jewish homeland. They even voted against a nonbinding resolution that simply said, “the State of Israel is not a racist or apartheid state” and that Congress rejects “all forms of antisemitism and xenophobia.” (I guess that was a bridge too far.) . . . . . . The Squad peddles vile, cruel tropes that echo the sentiments of history’s most depraved Jew-haters. “Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel,” read a Squad-member's Tweet. Naturally, the Jews accomplish this by weaponizing money: "It’s all about the Benjamins, baby." Today, American Jews are being attacked, injured, harassed, bullied, and assaulted on college campuses. After Hamas launched a sneak attack that targeted civilians for murder, rape, torture, and kidnappings, antisemitic incidents on college campuses have skyrocketed by 700%.  And it’s not conservatives who are doing the harassing. It’s left-wing, anti-Israel radicals. . . But AOC refuses any accountability for the bigotry, violence, and Jew-hating on the left. She closes her eyes and pretends it doesn’t exist.

Now THIS is a great idea!

A “loud proud Zionist” organization sent the Trump administration documents on dozens of allegedly pro-terrorist college students and faculty, hoping President Donald Trump will deport them, the Daily Caller News Foundation has learned.
Activist group Betar US confirmed to the DCNF Wednesday that it sent the information to officials in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the Department of Justice (DOJ), and the White House. The Jewish organization says it documented 100 students and 20 faculty and staff members with visas in the U.S. whom Trump should deport for supporting terrorist groups such as Hamas.

Have a great day.

And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

Muhammad was at this time fifty-four years old. Numerous other early Islamic traditions state the same thing.
