The Morning Report — 4/ 11 /25

Angel of Ds.jpg

Good morning kids. Considering this weekend will see the start of the Passover holiday, a bisselle Yiddish to use as the theme for the day, which continues to be Tariffs and Goniffs and Momzers, oh my!

But first, a story that broke late yesterday, was an horrific helicopter crash into the icy waters of the Hudson River near the New Jersey side across from lower Manhattan. A tech executive and his family of 5 are all listed as dead. Given the recent spate of aircraft incidents, this crash will likely get more attention than it normally might, per the "if it bleeds it leads" mantra of our media.

But given the need to do its part in sabotaging President Trump's agenda and sow as much strife and discord among the American citizenry in furthering that cause to lay the groundwork for their hoped for reinstallation of Leftists Dems and globalists might put this on the back burner, especially if some explainable mechanical or other glitch is identified as the culprit. Meh, you can bet there will be headlines and soundbites reaming President Trump and DOGE as somehow being responsible for this.

Back to the links. On the positive economic front, consumer prices despite the lying liars who lie actually fell significantly in March. Also, Swiss pharmaceutical firm Novartis is investing bigly here in the US, announcing construction of new plants and jobs for Americans, while a whole slew of countries are now eager to make a deal with President Trump to drop tariffs and trade barriers. Of course our chief enemy and rival the Red Chinese are not backing down. The big question is who is holding the cards in this showdown. That the Chi-Coms manufacture something like 95% of all our pharmaceuticals and their chemical precursors is inexcusable and a disaster waiting to happen should the inevitable military showdown, probably over Taiwan, erupt. Cheap labor and cheap goods are a helluva drug Mr. and Mrs. America, and we've been addicted to them for decades to our great detriment. Resetting our trade relationships, especially with China is necessary. Could it have been done in a better and potentially lless painful way? Hard to say, but it has to happen if America and the American worker and way of life is to rise again. Remember that that is a direct threat to our own native "Mandarins" who seek absolute power and control regardless of the consequences.

Venture Capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya said Thursday on Fox News that the “global elites” are panicking because they no longer control how “governments behave.”

President Donald Trump announced on April 2 a list of countries to hit with reciprocal tariffs. Political pundits, lawmakers, and experts clashed over whether the plan would benefit America. By Wednesday, Trump announced a 90-day pause on the tax charge for all countries except China, with the stock market rising in response. . .

. . . “I think the thing is that the global elite have deeply benefited from a 20-year regime of taking jobs and moving them anywhere in the world that allowed you to optimize for profit, number one,” Palihapitiya said. “It benefited from an economic regime of low volatility, where you could keep interest rates effectively at zero for quasi forever.” “The reality now is that what they see is an inability to create and scaremonger the White House into economic policy,” Palihapitiya added. “I think that this is very troublesome for them, because they’ve been able to control, from Wall Street or from London or from these other places, how governments behave. So what you see right now is them violently trying to push back and trying to create a narrative.”


Of course, as bad if not worse than the Democrat Left are those allegedly on our side who have done nothing, or worse than nothing in the dismantling of America for power and profit by aiding and abetting the anti-American Democrat/Left. That is the GOP. THe Grifting Oleaginous Parasite party, or GOP

Fighting against the wishes of their voters is a classic Republican pastime — and this week is no different.

When they apparently thought nobody was looking, a cabal of GOP senators comprised of Alaska’s Lisa Murkowski, Utah’s John Curtis, Kansas’ Jerry Moran, and North Carolina’s Thom Tillis — who’s up for reelection next year — quietly sent a letter on Wednesday to Senate Majority Leader John Thune regarding ongoing negotiations over the party’s reconciliation package. Their concern? That the final version of the legislation containing priorities backed by President Trump (tax cuts and border security) will also include provisions fully repealing President Biden’s wrongly named Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), a 2022 law filled with Democrat-backed goodies and “Green New Deal-style” policy priorities.

Specifically, these four Republican senators asked that a final reconciliation package forgo “full-scale” cuts of tax credits for the energy sector — which includes those for so-called “renewable energy sources.”
. . . In typical Republican fashion, the four senators tossed around unconvincing pledges to “identify waste, fraud, abuse, and necessary reforms,” while completely ignoring the inefficiencies of “green” energy and the enormous price tag associated with the Democrat-backed credits they’re defending.


These venal traitorous bastards have got to be removed and replaced. It's why I'm cheering for Ken Paxton over Jon Cornyn, and of course he usual suspects are lining up behind that snake's re-election bid.

And elsewhere, the situation vis a vis Iran, Israel and America may get interesting sooner than we think

The only matter that is of supreme importance to Netanyahu, and apparently to Donald Trump as well, is dealing with the Islamic Republic of Iran.  Last week, the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei rejected direct negotiations with the U.S., and news out of Tehran was that the Iranians are speeding up their efforts to build a nuclear bomb.  That qualified for summoning Netanyahu to Washington. In the meantime, Khamenei has placed Iran’s armed forces on high alert in response to President Trump’s recent threat that “if they don't make a deal, there will be bombing.”  Trump said in a telephone interview, “It will be bombing the likes of which they have never seen before.”  An Iranian newspaper close to the Iranian regime and to Khamenei himself reportedly called for the assassination of Trump.

The hardline Kayhan newspaper published this chilling statement: “He [Trump]’s way out of line!  Any day now, in revenge for the blood of Martyr Soleimani, a few bullets are going to be fired into that empty skull of his and he’ll be drinking from the chalice of a cursed death.”  
There has already been a credible attempt by the Iranian regime to assassinate Trump.  According to a November 8, 2024 report by Politico: “The Iranian government ordered an operative to assassinate Donald Trump before the 2024 election.  Manhattan federal prosecutors said that they charged Farhad Shakeri with murder-for-hire and for providing material support to a foreign terrorist organization. He is believed to be in Iran and remains at large, prosecutors said.”  President Trump, therefore, must be more determined than ever to deal once and for all with the Iranian menace to him personally, and to the world at large.


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, and to all who are celebrating this weekend a Ziessen Pesach. And may the Angel of Death pass over you all, and may he knock down the doors of all enemies of freedom and righteousness and pave the way for a restoration of peace, prosperity and sanity here and all over this messed up world.

Amen.
