The Morning Report — 3/ 17 /25

Good morning kids. Hope you all had a nice restful weekend, I suppose the title for today's report is Houthi and the Blowhards. First up, Trump ordered the military to hit the terrorists operating out of Yemen hard.

The strike came two days before Trump ordered “decisive and powerful Military action against the [Iran-backed] Houthi terrorists in Yemen” on Saturday for their “unrelenting campaign of piracy, violence, and terrorism against American, and other” assets. Trump warned the Houthis their time was up and warned Iran to stop supporting the Houthis or else “America will hold you fully accountable and, we won’t be nice about it!”

And you'll be shocked, shocked I say to learn that he dared do this on UN Islamophobia Day! Oh the humidity! At least it wasn't during transexual goat bestiality pride month. The optics would've been terrible.

And speaking of unhinged, thuggish, revolting terrorists, we have the Democrat Party and leftism right here. Esteemed lurker extraordinaire and Ace cruelty fan-boi Victor Davis Hanson posits the question:

What Are the Left’s Solutions for the Problems They Created?

The U.S. faces mounting trade deficits, immigration crises, and endless foreign wars, while critics of Trump's policies offer no viable alternatives to Biden-era failures.

Well, as I assume he and I know we all know, it's not just Biden-era, but Wislon-era, FDR-era, JFK/LBJ-era, Carter and Clinton, and unless the leopard changes tts spots, whoever God-forbid may be the future Democrat occupants of the Oval Office. And the answer is, the solution is always to exacerbate the problem by borrowing, spending and regulating more and more of our wealth and freedoms away from us as the means for them to destroy whatever is left of our Republic as founded that yet still has a pulse and seize absolute power. All the while blaming those who oppose them for causing the problems and seeking the destruction of "our precious democracy" (Vomit!).

Democracy?  They rig it! Don’t fall for their “save democracy” tears.  The Journal of Democracy reported that 20% of Democrats supported violence in 2021 — less than the GOP’s 30%, but still despicable.  They cheered the riots of 2020.  Harris tweeted support for bail funds — then cried when Trump defeated them in 2024.  Now Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) proposes his Electoral College “reform” bill in 2025, a blatant power-grab aimed at eliminating red states like Texas.  Trump won big; they can’t stand it. . . The 2024 election proved one thing: Trump flipped Nevada, according to Newsweek, as voters nationwide turned away from Harris’s woke rhetoric.  Pew Research reported Democrats at 31% approval in 2023 — lower than a snake’s belly.  From Schumer’s amnesty to AOC’s disdain for law enforcement, their actions reflect contempt for America. Texas feels the strain at the border, but this is a battle for every patriot — our kids, our flag, our future.  Trump is draining the swamp again; Republicans must leave these traitors behind.  No mercy, no retreat.

The fly in the ointment is while the Democrat Left lives by the mantra "By Any Means Necessary," what are we who desperately want to restore and preserve our nation, society and heritage willing to do, and can do to stop them. And voting harder as we all know is not the answer. Somehow, Donald Trump prevailed last November, and if you can believe the polls, The Democrat Party is at historic lows in popularity while, despite the constant propaganda barrage, Trump and what he is delivering is skyrocketing.

Considering what the courts have done to Trump, anti-abortion protesters, vocal parents at school board meetings and the J-6 victims of the Garland Archipelago, and now what the courts are doing to Trump's legitimate actions in deporting criminal illegal aliens and firing goldbrick federal bureaucrats, the options in fighting and winning the counter-counter-American revolution are whittled down to that which we do not want to contemplate, but that the other side have eagerly embraced, from molotov cocktails, to pre-positioned pallets of bricks to bullets and Swatting. To name but a few.

Meanwhile, as the Democrat Party seems to be tearing itself apart from within as the Left hand battles it out with the Far Left hand to see which one comes out on top, as we have seen most recently with the battle over voting in favor of the continuing resolution. The epicenter of that shitstorm was Chuck Schumer:

Fresh off defending a Hamas supporter, Sen. Chuck Schumer spoke to the New York Times to promote his book about antisemitism. Topping that howler, Schumer claimed that the Democrats are authentic. “We are the party of working people. We feel that very, very strongly. That’s who we have always been.”

Sen. Schumer is a millionaire Harvard grad. After graduating from Harvard, he went into politics. His party’s last presidential graduate spent her entire life in politics. Pretty much the case for the party’s past nominees who spent their entire lives in politics. That’s one definition of “working people”, but not one that actual working people have.

Schumer blathers about billionaires, but that’s who funds his party. The Democrats are a party of political ideologues who work for billionaires and then claim to be ‘working class’. And that’s politics for you.

Sadly, anti-Semitism has been around for millennia. But if Martians landed on earth and the first person they encountered was Chuck Schumer, they'd be waving Swastikas and Korans all the way back to the red planet. Ugh.

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 day.
