The Morning Report — 5/ 2 /25

MaineStain.jpg

Good morning kids. Well, if it's a day ending in "Y" that means we have yet another Democrat Leftist dog-whistling or in this case overtly calling for violence against President Trump and anyone who supports him. And that is figuratively "half" the nation and in actual numbers likely much more than that.

A high school English teacher in Maine has allegedly called for the Secret Service and U.S. military to assassinate President Donald Trump, his supporters, and top Trump advisors.

JoAnna St. Germain, who teaches at Waterville Senior High School, appears to have made the concerning remarks on her Facebook page, prompting investigations by police and the school district where she is employed.


I doubt she'll receive anything more than a slap on the wrist, but in the highly unlikely event she does lose her job, she can always go teach at Harvard or Berkeley. Where she can be free to teach Jew-baiting, anti-Americanism and Chi-Com indoctrination to her black heart's delight. Unless of course President Trump's efforts at exposing and dismantling of the Pre-K to Post-graduate indoctrination machine can run unimpeded for the remainder of his term and continue indefinitely. the destruction of American academia has been going on for nearly a century or more, from Horace Mann and John Dewey to Herbert Marcuse and Theodor Adorno and the Frankfurt School and through the malign influence of Bill Ayers and his coven of corruptors. So, preventing further brainwashing and hopefully deprogramming the past two or three generations of those who came through the school systems is not going to happen overnight, and certainly not without a fight, that given the words of this stain in Maine, could and likely will get physical. Burning tesla dealerships, and sleeping subway riders, if not entire cities circa the summer of 2020 should be your first hint.

In any case, the goal of dismantling of the Federal Department of Education and its horrendous excesses and abuse seems to be well under way.

The Trump administration this week slashed $1 billion in so-called “mental health” grants for educational institutions, many of which were going to promote leftist ideology and train leftist activists.

The Education Department confirmed Wednesday that it was making cuts to grants handed out by the Biden administration ostensibly for the purpose of “mental health” because of the focus of many of the recipients on racially-focused programs. In a notice to Congress, the administration said it was going to “re-envision and re-compete” the funds allocated for mental health at schools in a gun control bill signed by former [puppet] President Joe Biden. . .

. . . The move was first reported on Tuesday by Christopher Rufo, who wrote on X that there would be “no more slush fund for activists under the guise of mental health.”

On the economic front, despite the constant gescrhei from the Democrat propaganda complex that Trump is destroying the economy, While the tariff regime will yield some bumps in the road, there are indicators that the situation and outlook are a hell of a lot rosier than what is being reported.

Larry Kudlow says the recession talk sweeping through Wall Street and the press is based on a fundamental misunderstanding of the latest GDP numbers — and a refusal to acknowledge the early effects of President Trump’s economic agenda.

On his Fox Business Network show Wednesday, Kudlow took direct aim at what he described as a “media and Wall Street obsession” with the headline 0.3 percent decline in real GDP during the first quarter of 2025. . .

. . . Kudlow pointed to what he called “core GDP” — a measure that strips out volatile components like inventories, government spending, and net exports. That narrower but more stable measure, known formally as real final sales to private domestic purchasers, rose at an annual rate of around 3 percent in the first quarter.

“Mr. Trump has barely begun, but take a look already at core GDP — which takes out the fluky trade import numbers from tariff front running and looks at just the heart of GDP, which is private sector consumption plus private sector business investment,” Kudlow said. “Well, looking at core GDP, you see an actual increase in the first-quarter economy — of 3 percent, no less.”

Of course Kudlow is a friend and ally of Trump having served in his first term. But he's also a shrewd and astute business guru who wouldn't stick his neck out for no good reason, as he does value his own reputation.

And as you can see from the links, there are major companies coming back to the US and once again setting up shop, which means jobs and long term investment here in the USA.

As we all know, or should know, economics and geopolitics are tied at the hip. It's no secret that the Chi-Coms have long sought to dethrone America and become the preeminent global superpower. Trump knows this and much of what he is doing vis a vis tariffs and other moves (such as the Panama Canal, Greenland and in the Middle East are intended not only to boost our domestic and foreign positions but to check the ChiComs.


On that note, this story is of some interest:

Workers throughout China are flooding the streets in revolt as U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs slam the fragile Chinese export economy.

From the cramped streets of Sichuan in the southwest to the cold outskirts of Inner Mongolia in the northeast, furious workers are demanding backpay and protesting mass layoffs as factories shutter under pressure from Trump’s tariffs. . .

. . .The wave of anger sweeping across China today echoes the uprising in 2022 when Chinese citizens protested President Xi Jinping’s COVID lockdown orders. Xi’s forces quickly cracked down on dissent, leading to violent clashes across the country. China watchers anticipate Xi will take action again. “Xi today has the same mentality as Mao. His bottom line is that no major crisis will be allowed to endanger his hold on power,” an adviser to the Chinese government told the Journal.


There are a lot of internal problems within Red China that potentially pose a threat to the CCP. The one-child policy means a majority of the population will be elderly and not able to keep their industry and economy going and growing. The introduction of even very tightly controlled capitalist reforms instituted under Premier Deng Xiaoping a generation ago have given Chinese youth a taste of western freedom and they prefer it. The level of corruption in their government down especially to the local levels. Over the past few years there have been many mass-stabbing attacks primarily aimed at the children of local party bosses and politburo members.

There are also reported morale problems in their military as well as graft and incompetence that is reflected in their military readiness and quality of their arms and armed forces, and a gigantic real estate bubble that when it bursts could crash their economy big time. Now Trump comes along and the anticipated Chinese century that was supposed to happen with the coming of the new millennium could go up in smoke. This kind of situation on the mainland could also put Taiwan in the crosshairs perhaps sooner than expected.


I'm not predicting the Chinese Communist Party will collapse any time soon. But who knew that the Soviet Union would ever fall when it did, if at all. Hopefully, for the sake of the suffering Chinese people, the CCP disintegrates. And let's hope our own egghead schmucks in Foggy Bottom don't repeat the same insanity in dealing with whatever government arises from the ashes as it did with Russia post the collapse of the Soviet Union. Yeah, that is too much to ask for.

But a free China; what a concept!

We may yet see a Free Iran before then, please God without a mass release of Roentgens and X-rays as a result.
