The Morning Report — 3/ 14 /25

Good morning kids. In noting the passing of the longtime Democrat Rep-robate from Arizona Raul Grijalva, considering some of the items making news this morning , perhaps the word of the day is harbinger. And he's the second Dem congress-vermin to join the choir invisible this week. A few notes from his rap sheet at the invaluable DiscovertheNetworks:

Former Democrat Member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Former member of MECha, which seeks to facilitate Mexico’s reconquest of the Southwestern U.S. Former leader of the Raza Unida Party Supporter of open borders and amnesty for illegal aliens

Vaya con... something Raul. Certainly not Dios, since he is heading south of the border - between the Lithosphere and the 9th Circle of the Infernal Reaches. Let's leave it at that, but from my perspective we need more Wallenbergs, and no more Grijalvas.

Elsewhere, while we ponder the concept of harbingers, on the national political scene, it seems as if Chuck Schumer and the Democrats have been boxed into a neat little corner vis a vis the upcoming CR that passed in the House and now heads to the Senate.

With Democrats threatening to force a partial government shutdown, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is being confronted with a warning he delivered just last year.

The “Rapid Response” account on X for President Donald Trump’s White House posted on Thursday a “flashback” clip of Schumer’s remarks from September — when the top Democrat pinned a potential shutdown at that time on Republicans. “If the government shuts down, it will be average Americans who suffer most. A government shutdown means seniors who rely on Social Security could be thrown into chaos …” Schumer said.

“So what changed, Chuck?” the White House account asked. . . “The Trump Derangement Syndrome continues,” said Sen. Thom Thillis (R-NC). “One of the first things Democrats did when they controlled the Senate was to make a failed push to nuke the filibuster because [Joe] Biden was President. Now they are shamefully filibustering and on the verge of shutting down the government to appease their radical base because Trump is President.” Elon Musk, who is overseeing the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), replied: “Paging 2024 Schumer …”

The Democrats for years as we all know have shrieked about how shutting down the government will cause death and destruction from coast to coast, unless they get to raid the treasury to fund their bureaucracy (the real doomsday machine as we all know. So now the Democrats are having to swallow their own bullshit rhetoric about shutting down the government lest the public finally understand how generally unnecessary thbulk of the federal government is. And that only reinforces what DOGE is all about. And, so long as Mike Johnson and the GOP don't cave (a tall order) they have the chance at accomplishing in Congress what w is their duty, in slashing the budget and size of government through the budgetary process. One way or another, a lot of politicians are going to be foisted on petards of their or Trump's making!

But here's Chip Diller insisting that everything's under control!

To me, it sounds like a nail bragging about its rivalry with a hammer. (Or a bag of doughnuts bragging about its rivalry with Lizzo.) But nonetheless, here we are: 

“We have the Republicans on the run!” announced House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

Turns out the Democrats aren’t just bravely battling back against President Trump. They’re actually winning — and now Old Man Trump is running scared!

In a call with party leaders, Jeffries described Trump’s recent speech to Congress as “one of the most divisive speeches by a president in American history” and predicted, because of the economy, MAGA’s end was nigh:

Keep huffing those whippets Hakeem.

Of course, when cornered, Democrats go to their strength: Incite violence. Do I really have to quote slithering vermin like Maxine Waters and Jeff Merkley? It's in the links for those who really need to get their blood boiling.

And talk like that gets the blood flowing, mostly from knife and bullet wounds, as well as from bricks hurled a la Ignatz Mouse at Krazy Kat's head - - prepositioned on pallets from sources unknown. Patel and Bondi need to go after Soros, Antifa and ActBlue because that's where all the violence ultimately begins.

And it raises some cromulent questions about the nature of free speech that CBD and I touched on in the latest episode of the podcast, here and in the sidebar.

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. 

Have a great weekend.

ABOVE THE FOLD, BREAKING, NOTEWORTHY
• Anyone affiliated with or even speaking an ounce of praise towards President Donald Trump’s administration have become targets of a violent left that knows they have no coherent arguments, or propagandistic arguments, that work anymore, so they’ve resorted to basically declaring Civil War against anyone that doesn’t chew their tongue like they do. After the “alleged” murder of InfoWars reporter Jamie White Sunday evening, yet another InfoWars reporter/host has been targeted by, “allegedly,” by an ideological counterpart. InfoWars host Chase Geiser posted to X, along with a video, that he was “swatted” twice within 12 hours.

End of story. The government hasn't been making enough money since the Newt Gingrich days to pay its way, so there's that. But the way the layoffs are being administered is galling to those who have worked hard and played by the rules. These are the people who witnessed up close the sin of government waste, fraud, and abuse and who emphatically voted for Trump and DOGE. We want to keep them on board.

This broad vision, he said, is an “all-hands-on-deck, all areas of government” approach to stabilizing the U.S. economy.

• President Donald J. Trump is directing the Pentagon to develop plans for a strategic increase in U.S. military personnel at the Panama Canal as part of the American First leader’s goal of retaking control of the vital shipping passage between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The move follows President Trump’s joint address to Congress last week, in which he pledged that “to further enhance our national security, my administration will be reclaiming the Panama Canal.”U.S. Southern Command is evaluating various strategies, ranging from enhanced collaboration with the Panamanian military to more aggressive measures such as a potential military takeover of the canal, Pentagon officials say. The necessity of military action would depend on Panama’s willingness to cooperate.
