The Morning Report — 7/18/25

Good morning kids. There are a few things I'd like to hit on and you'll either be pleased or peeved that the Epstein situation is not among them. First and foremost, as the majority of the nation is rallying behind President Trump in his push to deport as many illegal aliens as possible and seal the border to try and stop the invasion, we have this insanity coming not from the Left but from behind our own lines, as it were:

America Is Not A ‘Nation Of Immigrants’ . . . This insidious slogan is once again being used by Republicans to justify another amnesty bill. . .

. . . group of congressional Republicans have joined Democrats in an effort to push through an amnesty bill by performing two cheap tricks: repeat the tired trope that we’re a “nation of immigrants” and redefine “amnesty” as “dignity.”

The bipartisan bill, dubbed the DIGNITY Act, was introduced this week by Republican Florida Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar, who has lately been on a media tour to promote what she calls, falsely, “a revolutionary bill that offers the solution to our immigration crisis.”

The solution to the immigration crisis and oddly enough this filthy backstabbing slag is correct, it goes beyond the obvious disaster of invading hordes of illegal migrant wetbacks but of those we allow in legally who a very large percentage of do not come here to become Americans and embrace our nation, society and culture, and that our politicians do not demand they do so as was done in years past. The solution is the mass deportation of every foreigner on our soil who is here illegally regardless of how long they've been here (as if every second evading arrest and removal is some sort of credit towards being awarded citzenship) as well as the severe and radical curtailment of legal immigration until those that are here already are assimilated. How that can come about is indeed a thorny issue. But here is a start that President Trump instituted and that should be spread far and wide to every corner of our society, not just the government:

DESIGNATING ENGLISH AS THE OFFICIAL LANGUAGE: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order designating English as the official language of the United States.

The Order rescinds a Clinton-era mandate that required agencies and recipients of federal funding to provide extensive language assistance to non-English speakers.

This designation specifically allows agencies to keep current policies and provide documents and services in other languages, but encourages new Americans to adopt a national language that opens doors to greater opportunities.

Agencies will have flexibility to decide how and when to offer services in languages other than English to best serve the American people and fulfill their agency mission.

UNIFYING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE: It is long past time English is recognized as the official language of the United States.

Bilingualism should be ended in the schools and really everywhere. When my grandparents and mother came here, you best believe they had to learn English in order to not just survive but to thrive. Sure Hungarian, Yiddish, Polish, Russian and Lithuanian were spoken in the home, but they stressed English to the kids and grandkids.

Damn it all to hell, No More G-Damn Amnesty bullshit, by whatever name the GOP wants to call it. And that's why I'm cheering this story on, regardless of the chances of success given the goofiness of South Carolina's electoral system.

TAMPA, Florida — Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is a “puppet for the Democrats,” the senator’s primary challenger, former South Carolina Lt. Gov. André Bauer, told Breitbart News during an appearance at the Turning Point Student Action Summit over the weekend. . . . . .“We have a real opportunity tonight to knock off one of the vipers of the Senate,” he said. “It’s going to be unbelievable year for the president … because Thom Tillis is going to be gone, McConnell’s going to be gone…”

“The biggest creature of them all in the swamp is Lindsey Graham. Let us not forget, he’s the one that said Joe Biden’s one of the finest men he ever met. He voted 70 percent of the time in ’22 with Biden — 70 percent he voted with the Democrats,” Bauer stressed. “This a guy that confirmed Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Sotomayor. He’s not looking out for our interests. He’s a puppet for the Democrats.”

Not mentioned is the fact that Lindsay Graham, aka Grahamnesty was the point man on the so-called Gang of 8 amnesty push from several years ago and no doubt will be cheerleading this House bill if it is given the oxygen to move forward, G-d forbid.

Now here's an idea I can get behind: Repeal HART-CELLER - Trump's immigration win marks a turning point—but critics argue it's time to end Hart-Celler and drastically cut both legal and illegal migration to preserve America's identity.

This is the reality of modern American immigration. Ungrateful third-worlders come here just “looking for a better life” while actively subverting the way of life that made America great in the first place. The vast majority of our legal migrants are bad houseguests.

Every 9/11 hijacker was a legal immigrant, to put things in perspective. America simply needs fewer foreigners on our soil. We definitely don’t need an influx of naturalized citizens from the third world. It is simply insane that the children of illegal immigrants born in America are treated as if they are American citizens.

Birthright citizenship is an absurd policy that makes a mockery of the consent of the governed. American citizenship is valuable. It is a privilege. We should not give it away so easily. . .

. . . Many of the Hispanics flying Mexican flags during the LA anti-ICE rallies are technically American citizens, and yet they despise America. This is untenable. There is no place for hostile aliens and communist activists in America. These people need to go. The source of the problem is the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, commonly known as Hart-Celler. This law got rid of the National Origins Formula that had previously restricted non-European immigration to the United States and allowed for the “chain migration” that currently allows a single immigrant to create a “foothold” by which dozens of their family members eventually come to America. . .

. . . The aim of Hart-Celler was not the good of the American people but rather concern for the migrants. It was oriented toward helping the “wretched refuse” of the earth find its way to America’s shores. This immigration policy has gone on for far too long. Today, 90% of our immigrants are from the third world. Moreover, there are 80+ million Americans who would not be here if it were not for legal mass immigration.

Let's see Lindsay Graham drop his drawers and defecate on Teddy Kennedy's grave by sponsoring this bill, despicable light-in-the-loafers crooked bastard. It's why I feel if Elon Musk really wanted to make a difference, instead of this ridiculous third party pipe dream, he should spend every dime he's got on primarying all the RINOs like Grahamnesty, Thune, Cornyn, Murkowski, Collins and all the rest in both chambers of Congress.

Make the GOP the Grand Old Party again and not the Grifting Oleaginous Parasites they are now.

Elsewhere, we have Communist fever breaking out on both coasts. In California, we have Newsom and Bass using the Pacific Palisades fire as cover to make up some bullshit excuse to confiscate the land from homeowners who want to rebuild and turn it all into low income housing.

In California, some radical far-left ideas don't seem to be drawing the applause they were expected to draw.

Which brings us to one state Sen. Ben Allen, a Santa Monica statehouse senator who put out a proposed law so stinky, so stanky, so vile, he skedaddled backward as fast as his little legs would carry him.

At a time when the County of Los Angeles has witheld rebuilding permits for all but seven of the 17,000 homeowners who lost their homes in the fires they caused, Allen's SB 549 authorized the state to go around buying up burned properties in fire-ravaged areas, including Altadena and Pacific Palisades, and converting those lots into crime-box high-rise apartment projects for the benefit of the homeless and the "justice-involved individuals." 

It made sense from a leftist point of view. Many leftists have gone into low-income housing construction -- and could potentially benefit from construction of crime-box apartments to house bums and criminals who belong in jail. 

That would be quite a reward for the bums, given that they set so many of these fires, and an incentive to them to set more fires, given that the prize is now beachfront property.

And not to be outdone, we have this glittering nugget of strychnine encrusted plutonium:

Zohran Mamdani, the Democrat candidate for New York City mayor, faced a wave of backlash after a video clip of him advocating for “the abolition of private property” gained traction online. The footage was initially shared by the pro-MAGA Twitter account “End Wokeness” and subsequently amplified by prominent Republicans, including Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Representative Elise Stefanik (R-NY). . . Other critics, including Amy Kremer and Congressman Mike Lawler (R-NY), expressed alarm at Mamdani’s comments. Lawler described the proposal as “bat shit insane” and urged voters to reject Mamdani at the ballot box in November, while Kremer accused him of wanting to seize personal property, including homes and apartments. The New York Young Republican Club referred to Mamdani as a “thoroughbred Marxist” and a “discount Bolshevik.”Notably, Mamdani also supports the abolition of prisons and defunding the police. Born in Uganda, he is a member of Shia Islam’s extremist “Twelver” sect, and only became a U.S. citizen in 2018.

The phrase Islam's extremist sect is a complete misnomer. Islam itself as the past 1500 years have shown is extreme in and of itself, as its main tenets calling for the conquest of the world and conversion and/or death of all unbelieevers who do not submit. The word Islam itself (contrary to the propaganda does not mean peace, it means Submission.) Seal the border lest we be overrun by Momdanis. Unless it's too late. . .

Beyond that as you can see in the Civil War section we still have Leftists targeting their political rivals on the Right with violence and threats of violence as well as the urging on of violence against ICE and so on and so on and scooby dooby dooby. . .

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 weekend!
