The Morning Report — 6/ 5 /25

Good morning kids.

An 88-year-old Holocaust survivor who was burned in Sunday’s alleged terror attack in Boulder, Colorado, shares a message for the rest of Americans, saying, “We are better than this,” before asking, “What the hell is going on in our country?” Barbara Steinmetz, a Holocaust survivor and the eldest of the 12 victims wounded in Sunday’s Boulder terror attack, told NBC News that she and other members of the group Run for Their Lives were “peacefully” advocating for the remaining Israeli hostages held by Hamas when they were suddenly firebombed.

"Alleged" terror attack? Really Breitbart?

"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON IN OUR COUNTRY?" Well, That is the multi century multi-trillion dollar question of all time, isn't it? And the answer of course for anyone who has been paying attention and/or mercifully not on the receiving end or was otherwise able to tune out the past few decades of the worst of the American educational/indoctrinational system, the socialist/progressive movement and its epicenter in the DEMOCRAT PARTY.

Until my dying day, everything wrong with this country, all the unnecessary, pain, death and suffering, waste of money and wasted lives and human potential are the fault of and/or have been massively exacerbated by the aforementioned in their evil pursuit of absolute power and control almost since the founding of the Republic.

Day in and day out, week in and week out the links in this report and even that which is reported in the legacy propaganda press, no matter how they try to spin it otherwise, is a chronicle of this destruction.

Arguably the worst of it all, is the corruption of our judicial system. Yes, those jurists who are Leftists will subvert, pervert and bastardize the Constitution in service to the attainment of absolute power for their ideological chieftains and fellow travelers even if it means the persecution of the politically disfavored. Be it the railroading of President Trump, the J-6 protesters, as well as Derek Chauvin and other police officers merely attempting to keep the peace and the public safe by carrying out their oaths to serve, protect and defend the citizenry by upholding the law.
Those who are not leftists either cannot do or worse will not do what they can to stop the perversion of the Constitution and the individual rights and liberties enshrined in them.

On a completely separate note, CBD and I pondered what the hell is with this Big Beautiful Bill? I thought the Trump presidency was about stopping the spending and borrowing madness. Is this not antithetical to DOGE? Meh, all government, even the most benign is inherently evil, but perhaps a necessary evil. I don't want to make it more "efficient." I want to defang and dismantle it as much as possible while leaving only the most necessary elements intact to ensure the functioning and stability of the civil society.

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.

  "BIDEN/HARRIS BORDER BLOODBATH," AMNESTY, IMMIGRATION, BORDER SECURITY

• The disasters of Joe Biden’s open border policy are coming home to roost. The Molotov cocktail attack by a Hamas-loving Egyptian illegal migrant on a group of American Jews in Boulder, Colo., is just one deadly consequence. The national police blotter is bulging with rapes, murders, robberies, assault, antisemitic attacks and all manner of crimes that never would have been committed if not for Biden’s insane decision to disband the suite of border protection policies President Trump had successfully implemented in his first term. . . But as spectacularly successful as the Trump administration has been, getting the border under control is the easy part. Now the president has to fulfil his Inauguration Day promise to deport “millions and millions of criminal aliens back to the places from which they came,” in the face of extraordinary pushback from a handful of Trump-deranged activist district judges.

Moreover, the Associated Press reported that Gorsuch, Alito, and Thomas “publicly noted their disagreement” with the majority’s refusal to take the case. The Western Journal pointed out Thomas made clear his concern that the refusal to hear the challenge leaves the door open for a similar or perhaps more egregious ban at the federal level.

There are probably two schools in Washington about such a prospect. The first is happy to watch Russia and Ukraine bleed the other dry. The second fears war as an uncontrollable phenomenon that may one day spread to the world. In the short run the former is probable, but in the long run the latter is certain.

• The bottom line is that this Trump budget is not evil or barbaric. It does what few in government, in academia, and in Washingtion have wanted to do in years. It faces the reality of the deficit and attempts to deal with it. It seems to me it deserves a hearing on that basis, rather than the typical “We’re all gonna die and civilization will end if these cuts are passed!” tactics seen for decades.

• While the shockingly low sales numbers could portend long-term problems for Jaguar, some details suggest the concerns about the rebrand and the company’s sales position are overblown. The 49 total cars sold in April appear to be the result of Jaguar merely liquidating its remaining inventory before its redesigned vehicles, as part of its rebrand, begin production later this year and hit dealership showrooms in 2026. In essence, this means that consumers didn’t simply buy fewer Jaguar cars, but rather that there were far fewer Jaguar cars even available than in April 2024.
