The Morning Report — 5/ 5 /25

Good morning kids. Well after terrorists started mass forest fires in Israel, the Houthis launched missiles which landed very near to Ben Gurion airport in Tel Aviv. The Houthis, along with Hamas, Hezbollah and many other terror groups are backed and in most cases directed by the Mullahs in Tehran.

The Houthi missile hit just 75 meters from Terminal 3 at Ben Gurion Airport, narrowly avoiding a direct strike that could have triggered a full-scale war. . .

. . .In mid-March, President Donald Trump ordered a “decisive and powerful military action” against the Houthis, resulting in a wave of U.S. airstrikes against key terrorist targets in Yemen.

Since Jimmy Carter allowed the Mullahs to take control of Iran 45 years ago, Israel, America and much of the west have endured bloody terrorist attacks that have left hundreds of innocent people dead and maimed.

As far as triggering a full-scale war, with Iran still moving closer and closer to a nuclear bomb, sooner or later there indeed will be either a preemptive strike or heaven forbid a much more devastating retaliatory strike by Israel on Tehran that could involve the major powers.

That they have gotten this far, despite Israel's best efforts to derail them is directly attributable to Jimmy Carter as well as the preternatural Israel hatred and anti-Semitism that has been endemic to the denizens of Foggy Bottom going back to Cordell Hull that continues to this day, despite the efforts of Donald Trump to cleanse it and the rest of DC of the globalist Deep State.

Regardless of President Trump's tough stance vis a vis the Houthis and this insane effort at negotiations which will accomplish nothing, except give Iran time and cover to complete the building of their bomb.
That the President is playing the negotions game is very disheartening, unless he's got cards he's not showing and, despite the fact that the Mullahs have got to go for the sake of preventing a regional if not a global war that could easily go nuclear, the idea of American armed forces engaging directly against Iran for me is a very bright red line.

Frankly, I fear Trump and or his team do not understand who they are dealing with. And that is individuals whose minds and black hearts are planted firmly in the 15th century. Those who believe that bringing about Armageddon will directly pave the way for the conquest and subjugation of the world as an Islamic planet for all time.

America has spent over a decade attempting to negotiate with the Islamic Republic of Iran. From Obama’s JCPOA to Trump’s “maximum pressure” campaign and now renewed talks under Trump’s second term, the pattern remains: Iran makes promises it doesn’t keep, while the U.S. oscillates between diplomacy and sanctions.
Washington still doesn’t grasp the fundamental truth: the mullahs don’t keep promises—except those made to Allah. . .

. . . Now, in Trump’s second term, the signals are scrambled. After running on a platform of toughness, the administration has stunned observers by floating new talks with Iran—even sending a personal message to Supreme Leader Khamenei through unofficial channels. . .

. . . Just recently, Iran accused the U.S. of “contradictory behavior and provocative statements,” citing backchannel proposals followed immediately by Treasury sanctions on Iranian banks and officials. Meanwhile, Trump himself stated in a campaign-style rally that “we will never let Iran go nuclear,” while his administration quietly signals openness to a “limited freeze” in exchange for sanctions relief. The result? Strategic incoherence. Tehran smells weakness—and buys time.

Don't get me wrong. I am a huge fan of President Trump, especially with what he has been able to do in just his first 100 days despite the rhetorical slings and arrows and literal bullets, of outrageous fortune hurled against him. But With this Iran garbage, and his actions with Zelensky and Putin, I get a nagging suspicion that he's angling for a Nobel Prize. Even if he were successful in stopping that war or preventing Iran from starting World War 3, does he think he'd even be given the recognition, considering he is regarded as the second coming of Adolf Hitler by the same global elites whom he craves recognition?

I hope to God I'm wrong, because the stakes are so insanely high.

Just give Israel the logistical and intel support it needs and it can get the job done. The question is what job? Striking nuclear weapons sites or the reactors? That in and of itself would be problematic to say the least. But from what I have read, Iran's faltering economy along with the insanity of the mad Mullahs and a severe water crisis has only fueled the Persian citizenry's decades-long hatred of their government, so perhaps crippling their oil refineries and electrical grid could lead to the long awaited regime change.

Will we get what we got in Syria by swapping out the Baathists for an ISIS offshoot or does Iran's future hold even the slightest glimmer of hope for a stable and sane non-Islamic government.

We'll have to wait and see, I suppose.

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.

Israel has struck Houthi targets in Yemen in previous responses. However, it is possible that Israel will target Iran instead, since Iran arms and funds the Houthis and is heavily involved in their ballistic missile attacks.

The changes to the manned part of NASA’s budget make great sense. The
goal appears to be to get rid of NASA projects that cost too much and
accomplish little (SLS, Orion, Gateway) and shift investment to more
effective commercial products. Overall the budget simply brings NASA’s budget back to what it was in 2016, about $18 billion. NASA was able to accomplish quite a lot with that amount of money, so this is not as draconian as many will certainly claim. Moreover, if the agency is streamlined properly as it appears the Trump administration wishes, it will likely be able to do more with less.

All in all, the entire SLS and Orion program has been a scam on the public, designed not to explore space but to pump cash into the pockets of the old big space companies.

Waltz, who previously served as head of the National Security Council, allegedly coordinated military strategies with Netanyahu during a February meeting, stirring significant controversy in the administration.Reports emerged suggesting that Trump was displeased with Waltz’s apparent alliance with Netanyahu on military moves against Iran.

The goal appears to be to get rid of NASA projects that cost too much and accomplish little (SLS, Orion, Gateway) and shift investment to more effective commercial products. Overall the budget simply brings NASA’s budget back to what it was in 2016, about $18 billion. NASA was able to accomplish quite a lot with that amount of money, so this is not as draconian as many will certainly claim. Moreover, if the agency is streamlined properly as it appears the Trump administration wishes, it will likely be able to do more with less. Trump administration releases its proposed NASA budget for 2026 All in all, the entire SLS and Orion program has been a scam on the public, designed not to explore space but to pump cash into the pockets of the old big space companies. What makes this even more atrocious is that these facts were obvious from day one. ... And yet, our so-called mainstream press gladly promoted the lie, and the public accepted it blindly.
