The Morning Report — 2/4/25

Good morning kids. The old adage "Nothing Succeeds Like Success" certainly applies to these first two weeks of the Trump administration. On several interconnected fronts that include foreign policy, domestic policy and the economy, at this early date, it certainly seems as if nothing can stop Trump and company as he takes a bulldozer to Leftist/Democrat and Deep State bureaucratic cancer, with the side benefit of making anyone who opposes him look ridiculous. It not only makes those of us who put him in office to do exactly what he's doing cheer even louder, which also garners him support from an even broader cross-section of the populace who not only see the benefits of what he's doing but more crucially can compare and contrast with the abject disaster of Democrat/Leftist policy. Obviously the open border insanity is the big issue illustrative of this. More on that in a moment but first . . .

Before getting to some of the juicier nuggets in the links, of which there are many, Even if it is early days, it certainly appears as though Trump senses the political winds, which feel like a category 4 storm, are at his back. While he dared sign an E.O. barely after being sworn in that erases the revolting bastardization of the 14th amendment, birthright citizenship, and ending it (or at least throwing down the gauntlet to fight for its end.

Although he had promised to do this while on the campaign trail, he's nevertheless emboldened to move ahead regardless, knowing full well the shitstorm he is going to face. I give you this orgasmatronic story to start the ball rolling!

The draft order would be a step toward fulfilling a key campaign promise President Donald Trump made to return education policy back to the states. The order would not direct the dismantling of the department, but request a plan to do so from the Education secretary, according to
The order would also call on Congress to pass legislation striking the department from federal statute. Trump may sign the order soon, according to ABC News, but no set date has been determined.

The order, if signed, would likely be carried out by Trump’s nominee to head the Department of Education, Linda McMahon. Some officials in the Trump administration are pushing for the president to hold off signing the order until after McMahon’s confirmation, according to The Wall Street Journal, presumably to avoid hindering her nomination in the Senate.

In years past, something like this was a non-starter, even if a Republican was in the White House. Aside from the fact that the number one mission of any bureaucracy is to expand its funding and power and not solve the problems it was created to address which would ultimately mean bringing about its own obsolescence. The GOP is part of the grift and has been since the New Deal. Now to shutter the EPA and Department of Energy, then we'd really be on something.

In other news, while all the usual suspects were freaking out over Trump hitting Mexico and Canada with tariffs for their malfeasance in not keeping their borders secure and allowing the millions of third world peasants and criminals to stream across, it looks as if both Trudeau and Scheinbaum have caved and cried Uncle Sam.

“Canada is implementing our $1.3 billion border plan — reinforcing the border with new choppers, technology and personnel, enhanced coordination with our American partners, and increased resources to stop the flow of fentanyl,” said Trudeau, who announced his intention to resign as prime minister and as leader of the Liberal Party last month. He continued in his post to declare that nearly 10,000 frontline personnel “are and will be working on protecting the border,” and announced a new commitment to “appoint a Fentanyl Czar.”

And Sheinbaum.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum Monday announced she is immediately deploying 10,000 National Guard soldiers to the southern border to help mitigate the flow of drugs and illegal immigration through the U.S.-Mexico border. In exchange, the Trump administration will pause its 25% tariff on Mexican imports for one month and work to quell the flow of arms south of the border.

And Nayib Buckle the President of El Salvador will house the teeming wretched refuse that flooded onto our shores:

The president of El Salvador on Monday offered to house convicted US citizens in his country’s “mega-prison” and take in deported criminal illegal migrants of any nationality after a meeting with Secretary of State Marco Rubio. 

Rubio, 53, said the deal struck with Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele represents “the most unprecedented, extraordinary, extraordinary migratory agreement anywhere in the world,” in remarks from the capital city of San Salvador.  

“We can send them and he will put them in his jails,” the secretary of state said of migrants set to be deported from the US. “And, he’s also offered to do the same for dangerous criminals currently in custody and serving their sentences in the United States even though they’re US citizens or legal residents.”

From Bukele we go to Bukakke.

President Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, having been alerted to New Jersey Democrat governor Phil Murphy admitting he had an immigrant who lacked full documentation residing in his home and daring the federal government to “try and get her,” indicated he would seek to prosecute Murphy if he was knowingly harboring an illegal immigrant.

Speaking at a public event with “Blue Wave New Jersey,” Murphy bragged that New Jersey was “the lead state in challenging birthright citizenship.” Later, he said defiantly, “There is someone in our broader universe whose immigration status is not yet at the point that they are trying to get it to and we said, ‘You know what? Let’s have her live at our house above our garage’ and good luck to the feds coming in to try to get her.”

. . .“I think the governor is pretty foolish … I got note of it. Won’t let it go. We’ll look into it. And if he’s knowingly, knowingly  harboring, concealing an illegal alien, that’s a violation of Title VIII, United States Code 1324. I would seek prosecution or the Secretary would seek prosecution,” Homan answered.

“So maybe he’s bluffing; maybe he’s not; we’ll deal with that,”

Here's an idea on how to deal with Murphy: conduct a 3:00AM DHS raid on his house with a CNN crew ready to film him being dragged out in his urine-stained BVDs. Then charge him with a felony, for harboring an illegal alien.

Time to pass a law in Congress declaring sanctuary jurisdictions illegal and tantamount to insurrection against the Federal government.

Elsewhere, Trump not only took a wrecking ball to the horrendous USAID which used taxpayer dollars to fund Marxists, Maoists, and other assorted America-hating bone-in-the-nose savages and tyrants as well as Islamic terroriststs who have American blood on their hands.

And speaking of which, he's cutting off the funding of UNRWA. and withdrawing us from that horrid joke of the UN Human Rights Council.

President Trump is expected to sign an executive order removing the U.S. from the UNHRC and will also call on Secretary of State Marco Rubio to examine other international groups that promote “radical or anti-American sentiment.”The executive order will also shut down funds to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), which has received over $8 billion over ten years from Western nations. At least nine UNRWA staff participated in Hamas’s October 7 terror attacks in Israel in 2023, a fact later admitted by the United Nations last year.President Trump has already paused foreign aid funding, announcing a 90-day freeze just days after his inauguration. The United States spends around $60 billion per year on foreign aid projects, the most of any country globally.

And it looks like Gabbard and perhaps Bondi are on track to be confirmed. So much winning!

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.

• Historically, Europe experienced significant migration waves, particularly post-World War II and during the following economic reconstruction period. This led to spontaneous, often unregulated, immigration. European countries initially expected migrants to return home after their labor was no longer required, but regulations evolved over time. By the 1970s, amid economic challenges, restrictions became more common, altering naturalization policies. Notably, the United Kingdom shifted from a jus soli to a more jus sanguinis (“right of blood”) citizenship norm, requiring parental citizenship to obtain British nationality. As of 2004—when Ireland abolished its expansive jus soli laws—Europe ceased offering unrestricted birthright citizenship entirely.

He added, “Tens of millions of people have poured across this border under Joe Biden’s administration, unchecked. We have no idea who they are. We have no idea where they’re coming from. We have no idea what their intentions are. In many ways, under the Biden administration, and Tom knows this better than anybody else. They were facilitated their entry into this country. That stops now under President and the Defense Department is proud to be a part of it. We have defended other places and other spaces. We will defend this line.”
