The Morning Report — 5/ 19 /25

Good morning kids. So a Mexican Navy tall ship struck the Brooklyn Bridge over the weekend, killing two sailors and injuring about 20 others so naturally, guess whose fault it was. If you said President Trump Chuck Schemer wants to plant a big wet one on your cheek.

Meanwhile, Schumer's little helpers were inspired to commit yet another mostly peaceful act of Democrat "free speech" in defense of their precious democracy (vomits) over the weekend.

The suspect in the explosion at a fertility clinic in Palm Springs, California, on Saturday was reportedly an “anti-natalist” who did not believe people should have more children. The blast occurred at the American Reproductive Centers (ARC) just before 11:00 a.m., shattering windows and leaving debris in its wake, BBC News reported Sunday.

If they can't kill children in the womb, or disfigure them via castration, or molest them into becoming homosexual catamites then no one can have them. Certainly not normal, loving, God-fearing parents of the traditional mother and father variety. Because the planet must be saved, or something. We're battling Malthusians, Luddites and Deviants. I don''t have enough seashells to spell out "86 the anti-natalists." Where's James Comey-dumpster when you need him.

Still, Comey could very well end up being prosecuted for his post. If he is prosecuted, his only real defense would be that he was so ignorant of things that he’s supposed to have expert knowledge of, such as Mafia lingo and what constitutes an actionable threat, that he didn’t know what he was doing. It doesn’t help that Comey has been quite public with his complaints that Trump and his administration have allegedly lied about and defamed him, so it would appear he has a motive to resent Trump. And if the prosecution depends on the establishing the “context” and “nature of the statement” to prove intent, a case against Comey could very well consider the plot of his recent novel, which is damning.

Elsewhere, I'm waiting for Jake Tapper's mea culpa about Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants Biden's prostate cancer diagnosis, insofar as he likely was diagnosed quite some time ago and probably was being treated, perhaps as far back as the latter part of his pseudo-presidency. Perhaps his Depends were mostly urine soaked more than fecal matter? Remember, he spent more time on vacation allegedly in Rehoboth than at the White House. The wrecking ball he took to the nation was operated mostly by Obama's apparatchiks. Biden could have been having operations and radiation unbeknownst to us, just like Lloyd AWOL-stin Austin.

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.

• A federal judge in New Mexico has dismissed charges against 98 illegal immigrants who crossed into a restricted National Defense Area near the U.S.-Mexico border. The area, established under the Trump administration, forms part of the U.S. Army Garrison Fort Huachuca and is marked by “Restricted Area” signs in both English and Spanish.Judge Gregory B. Wormuth ruled that the illegals could not be prosecuted for entering the restricted zone because they were reportedly unaware it was military property. “The United States provides no facts from which one could reasonably conclude that the defendant knew he was entering,” Wormuth claimed, insisting that requiring intent to enter military land is necessary to avoid “absurd and unfair results.”
