The Morning Report — 7/25/25

Good morning kids, as I have written about, or at the least have attempted to write about in my tenure as your personal envoy/sherpa of the news, the differentiation and identification of the disease from merely the symptoms of societal rot and dissolution.

A or at least the shining example that is coming to the fore, despite the media's shameless and desperate attempts to obfuscate and distort if not completely bury it is Obamagate, which Tulsi Gabbard to her credit has revealed what we all knew or at the barest of minimums suspected, was that Barack Obama either orchestrated or at the very least knew about and/or approved ofthe Intel community's combined operation with Hillary Clinton to manufacture a case that Donald Trump colluded with Vladimir Putin to somehow sabotage the 2016 election. And then afterward, use this manufactured case of treason to destroy his presidency if not him personally by tarring and feathering him as a traitor. Dear Lord, you talk about projection, especially given the background of Obama himself.

But as I stated how is it that institutions that are in place which are intended to safeguard our freedoms and society at large turn out to be the greatest threat to both of those things? Where is the failing? Well, as Shakespeare wrote "The fault lies not in our stars but in ourselves."

As President Trump though so accurately observed, they're not out to get me, they're out to get you! I'm just standing in the way. So terribly true as we have learned and seen with our own eyes despite the attempts by the Propagandists to convince us otherwise. As horrendous a crime as this was, and remains a stain on our society, so long as the perpetrators are left unpunished which the corruption being as dark and deep as it is I sadly have to assume will forever be the case. Regardless of the culpability of the perpetrators, the lack of resolve (so far Gabbard notwithstanding) of those to attempt to right his most horrendous of wrongs is just as bad. Yes, fear of both political and personal retribution if not the justified fear for personal safety of oneself and one's families surely are factors. But that said, if you cannot take the heat, then get out of the kitchen. The crime is bad enough, lack of resolve to preserve, protect and defend the Republic has just as deleterious consequences going forward.

Psaki-Psircling back to Trump's observations about who the criminals are after, we have this:

The House Judiciary Committee has released an interim staff report showing that the Biden administration and the FBI manufactured a false narrative of Catholic Americans as violent extremists.

New documents obtained by the Committee show that the 2023 Richmond memorandum from former FBI Director Christopher Wray that described traditional Catholics as “racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists,” wasn’t an isolated incident.

Commenting on Report: How the Biden-Wray FBI Manufactured a False Narrative of Catholic Americans as Violent Extremists,” Congressman Jim Jordan (R-OH), Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said, “we now know that the Biden Admin’s targeting of Catholics was worse than we thought.”

Yes indeed, they're after us and they always will be. And as I noted yesterday and in days past, it begins and ends in the schools where future generations of our tormenters are "groomed" so to speak as our supposed elites/superiors and the rest are conitioned to believe that monstrous fiction and that we must believe and obey them for our own betterment.

Some continuing good news on the economic front, with unfortunately the continuing corruption of hack-in-black judges on the immigration front. Oh well. . .

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!

• Chinese state-affiliated hackers have exploited a critical vulnerability in Microsoft SharePoint software to infiltrate several U.S. government agencies, including the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), which is responsible for America’s nuclear weapons. According to multiple cybersecurity reports, the cyberattack began on July 18 and also affected organizations across Europe and the Middle East.Microsoft has linked the attackers to groups it tracks as Linen Typhoon, Violet Typhoon, and Storm-2603. These groups reportedly took advantage of a zero-day flaw in SharePoint to gain unauthorized access, enabling them to steal cryptographic keys. This theft may have allowed them to impersonate legitimate users or services within affected systems. Microsoft has since issued security patches to mitigate the vulnerability and is urging all users to update their systems.
