The Morning Report — 7/29/25

Good morning kids. President Trump's second term has certainly yielded some incredible results on so many issues, here at home, most significantly is his crusade against illegal immigration and its destructive consequences to our national security, sovereignty, culture and economic well-being. On the international front, discounting his tariff regime which in the long term will rejigger our relationships with many nations and result in net gains for our economy, and especially this latest agreement with the EU which as we discussed yesterday is a pretty huge deal.

But, the president has been touting his abilities as a peacemaker in bringing warring nations to the negotiation table.

President Donald Trump has brokered on average about one peace deal or ceasefire per month thus far in his presidency, following Monday’s ceasefire agreement between Thailand and Cambodia. . . “Now this would be six that we’ve stopped. I have … stopped six wars in the last — I’m averaging about a war a month,” he said.

Trump has brokered a number of ceasefires and peace deals since returning to office, the most prominent being the agreement between Israel and Iran after the “12-day war” between the countries. That war culminated after Trump approved devastating strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites: Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.

The sides agreed to a ceasefire on June 23, and it took effect on June 24.

Another major deal brokered by Trump and his administration is between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Republic of Rwanda. The countries reached a peace agreement in late June to end a 30-year-long conflict between them. . . In yet another deal, Trump announced a ceasefire with Ansarallah, commonly known as the Houthi jihadist terror organization, in Yemen in May, which took Israel by surprise. As part of the deal, the Houthis agreed to stop targeting U.S. ships and the U.S. agreed to stop bombing Yemen. Though the Houthis and the U.S. reached a deal, the group has continued to target Israel.

Finally, Trump brokered peace between Egypt and Ethiopia in June regarding a conflict over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam on the Nile River.

I read "Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam" and immediately thought TRUMP Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, HOTEL and CASINO . . .

Seriously, as I and others have pondered vis a vis Trump and Israel and negotiating with Hamas, it just makes no sense whatsoever. In the wake of France's PM Emanuel Macron's despicable announcement of his support for a "Palestinian" state . . .

The Trump administration says it boycotted a United Nations conference promoting the two-state solution on Monday, calling the event a “publicity stunt” and an “insult.”

“This week, the U.N. will serve as host to an unproductive and ill-timed conference on the two-state solution in New York City,” State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce said in a statement. “This is a publicity stunt that comes in the middle of delicate diplomatic efforts to end the conflict.”

Bruce said the conference will “prolong the war, embolden Hamas, and reward its obstruction and undermine real-world efforts to achieve peace.”

Instead of participating, Bruce said the United States will continue leading efforts to end the fighting and deliver a permanent peace.

“Our focus remains on serious diplomacy: not stage-managed conferences designed to manufacture the appearance of relevance,” she said.

The boycott comes after President Donald Trump drew attention to what he described as “real starvation” in Gaza. . . . “We’ll be helping with the food,” Trump said. “We can save a lot of people. That’s real starvation. I see it, and you can’t fake that.”

It would have been helpful had the President pointed out the rather salient fact that it's Hamas that caused and exacerbated the humanitarian crisis by its brutal invasion and butchery against Israel and Israel's righteous and justified response in defending itself. Plus the fact that Hamas uses its own people as cannon fodder to advance their own cause — the Islamic crusade to wipe out every Jew on the planet and convert all of Earth into an Islamic world.

Rewarding a fictitious people and nation created in the basement of KGB headquarters in 1964 with land. And not just any land, the land of Israel, which can only happen with the eradication of its citizens whose ancestors have had an historic presence there for over five millennia.

There can be no negotiation with Hamas, because Hamas is just the cutting edge of Islam itself. And that is sadly a truth that dare not be uttered lest one be called racist and Islamophobic despite nearly 1500 years of documented barbarism and bloodshed committed in the name of Islam.

Oh well. Great that we pulled out of UNESCO but we need to dismantle Turtle Bay.
From the East River to the General Assembly, the parking shall be free!

So an horrific mass shooting in NYC gets all kinds of coverage,

but a mass stabbing spree at a Michigan WalMart is all but ignored. My reporting on it yesterday notwithstanding.

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!
