The Morning Report — 4/ 16 /25

BukeleBuka.jpg

Good morning kids. Hope that your Tax day was emotionally if not fiscally bearable for you, and preferably both.

Elsewhere, you'll be shocked to learn that the lunatic who set fire to the Pennsylvania governor's mansion with the governor and family inside on Passover was not a white supremacist Aryan nations MAGA acolyte of Donald Trump.

The suspect accused of setting fire to the Pennsylvania Governor’s mansion over the weekend has identified as  “a registered socialist” and supported the Black Lives Matter movement on social media.

Cody Balmer, 38, is facing attempted murder and arson charges after setting a blaze inside the mansion while Governor Josh Shapiro and his family slept early Sunday morning. Balmer also faces terrorism, aggravated arson and aggravated assault charges. . .

. . . When Shapiro was asked if he believed the attack was politically motivated, he responded that it’s “not something [he was] prepared to answer.” Because he frequently criticized Joe Biden on social media, some in the corporate media have sought to link the accused domestic terrorist to the MAGA movement. However, on Facebook, Balmer identified as neither a Republican or Democrat, but as a socialist.

The sicko also allegedly said he would have beaten Shapiro with a hammer if he’d found him during the firebombing attack, according to a criminal complaint. Now Balmer seems like a nutjob, but had he been a nutjob with the wrong politics, we’d never stop hearing about it, but now he’s likely to get a whole lot less attention because he did it for the ‘right reasons.’


A BLM booster and self-identified Socialist? No wonder Shapiro clammed up. And so this story too will be memory-holed faster than you can say Transexual anti-Christian terrorist School Shooter.


And as the Democrats fall all over themselves to demand the return of an admitted MS-13 El Salvadoran criminal gang member whose deportation back to that country is being questioned on essentially legal technicalities. It makes for seemingly good political theatre that the Dems think they can use to ding President Trump, despite that fact that most rational, right-thinking sane Americans agree with his immigration policies.

Leading Democratic lawmakers, spearheaded by Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), are prepared to visit El Salvador to advocate for the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an MS-13 gang member deported to the Central American country’s CECOT super-prison by the Trump administration. During a White House visit, Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele declared that he would not send Garcia back to the U.S.Van Hollen has formally contacted El Salvador’s ambassador in Washington, requesting a dialogue with President Bukele. The Maryland Democrat announced his intention to monitor Garcia’s condition and negotiate for his release in El Salvador if he is not returned to the U.S. by midweek. Democrat colleagues, including Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL) and Rep. Yassamin Ansari (D-AZ), have expressed readiness to join the potential delegation.The push to bring Garcia back stems from the Trump administration deporting him contrary to a 2019 immigration judge’s order prohibiting his return to El Salvador, due to rival gang members presenting a threat to him. Contradicting media reports presenting Garcia as an “innocent” father, the courts also adjudicated that he was an illegal alien who had failed to demonstrate he was not a danger to Americans at an immigration bond hearing. Additionally, the relevant ruling states that “sufficient” was presented proving Garcia was a gang member, which he had failed to rebut.

And it's leftists who always come to the aid of terrorists and terrorist boosters because they are kindred spirits with essentially the same enemies. Us normal, morally upright, God-fearing Americans.


It was a classic case of the leftist media giving the public a false impression, and of a judge, along with that same media, once again underestimating the Trump administration. The establishment media has been hysterically insisting for weeks now that Khalil was in danger in being deported solely because he expressed views that Trump and his administration disliked. Leftist propagandists — that is, the New York Times, CNN, the Washington Post, and the rest — have been claiming that Khalil is the victim of a dictator-in-the-making who wants to destroy the freedom of speech. . .

. . . After seeing the evidence that the government provided, however, on Friday, Comans did not terminate the case against Khalil. Instead, she ruled that Khalil could indeed be deported. The Associated Press reported that Comans “said at the conclusion of a hearing in Jena that the government’s contention that Khalil’s presence in the United States posed ‘potentially serious foreign policy consequences’ was enough to satisfy requirements for his deportation. Comans said the government had ‘established by clear and convincing evidence that he is removable.’”

As you no doubt expect, this isn’t the end of the matter: “Lawyers for Khalil are expected to appeal. And a federal judge in New Jersey has temporarily barred Khalil’s removal from the country.” Nonetheless, the fact that Comans ruled in the administration’s favor is a massive triumph for Trump in his efforts to restore sanity to immigration policy and remove from the country all those who take advantage of America’s hospitality and generosity to work against its interests.


As I had mentioned, with all of this happening on top of the sturm und drang over Trump's tariff regime, he's still riding high.

President Trump’s job approval rating has surged to its highest number since he was inaugurated in January. Currently, Trump’s job approval rating sits at 54 percent, with only 46 percent disapproving. This ties his all-time high this year (in this poll) and is a five-point boost in approval since late March. . . “For all the events of the past ten days, we find the President’s approval rating unchanged and now at its joint highest ever,” pollster James Johnson told the Daily Mail. “Among the noise and criticism, there does seem to be a simple truth,” Johnson added: “The more coverage there is of Trump’s changes, the more voters reward him for what they see as the pace and purpose that many of them voted for.”

Well, no doubt the Democrat Propaganda complex has just the answer for that one. Break out and dust off the race card!


A GiveSendGo campaign set up for accused murderer Karmelo Anthony has so far reached $430,000, a mind-boggling amount of cash that far surpasses the $350,000 raised for the family of the 17-year-old boy Anthony admitted to stabbing in the heart with a knife during a high school track meet.

But the tens of thousands of donors who contributed to the fund for Anthony’s “legal defense” might be surprised to learn the cash will go to pay for more than just his lawyers.

According to this, Anthony’s father disclosed in court this week that while some of the cash will be used for attorneys to fight the murder charges against his son, a good chunk of it will also be used to buy a new home and “security” for the family amid “racist” threats. . . Anthony, who was originally being held on a $1 million bond, was released earlier this week after a judge lowered his bond to $250,000. He will be confined to his home on an ankle monitor ahead of his next hearing. Anthony is claiming self-defense for why he stabbed and killed 17-year-old Austin Metcalf during a high school track meet, over what witnesses said was a seating dispute after Anthony entered Metcalf’s team’s tent and allegedly refused to leave. The incident sparked a verbal altercation between the two and ultimately ended when Anthony pulled a knife from his backpack and stabbed Metcalf in the chest, leaving him to bleed out in the arms of his twin brother before help could arrive.

Well this was of course an understandable act because of "Slavery, and white supremacy!"

If only Al Sharpton wasn't preoccupied with organizing a shakedown of Pepsico and giving credibly accused murderer Joe Scarborough handjobs under the anchor's desk at MSNSDAP while on the air, he'd be there faster than a subway necrophiliac on a downtown A Train to smear feces on this thug's face and reenact Tawana Brawley 2 boogaloo.

Have a great day.
