The Morning Report — 8/18/25

BorshtBelted.jpg

Good morning kids. First up, a state of emergency and mandatory evacuation orders have been issued in North Carolina as Hurricane Erin churns off the coast. Prayers for all who may be in any area that could be impacted. Stay safe.

Elsewhere, with the Trump Putin Alaska Summit wrapping up without any major deal to end the fighting in Ukraine (as we had suspected), all that the propagandists could focus on was the threat to national security because a gift list and the menu were found in the hotel printer!

So now, the President is going to meet with corrupt comedian Shecky Zelensky. Look let's face it, the only way the war is going to end is by Ukraine officially ceding the territory lost to Putin. And thankfully President Trump seems to be standing firm on nixing the prospect of NATO membership for Ukraine. That, plus NATO's encroachment towards Russia ever since the fall of the Berlin Wall, despite previous administrations guarantees that that would never happen were one of the factors, along with hundreds of years of historic Russo/Ukrainian confrontation and animosity as well as American and western interference via the color revolution engineered by Victoria Nuland and the Obama crew that overthrew a popularly and freely elected Putin friendly president.

I hope that President Trump does not agree to anything that might entangle us in a conflict that has absolutely zero impact on American national security. Yes, Putin invading Ukraine and the ensuing bloodshed was and is abhorrent. But, it's not our fight. If the soon to be Islamic Republic of E-U-istan wants to get their hair mussed with Putin, that's their affair.

Elsewhere in the world, and in a region that has much more importance to our security, some positive news for a change out of Latin America:

'Socialism defeated' — Bolivia boots its ruling leftists after 20 years in power — Hell has frozen over in Bolivia -- which is often a bellwether for the direction of South America's politics. . . The report notes that several conservative candidates didn't make the final cut for the runoff, Quiroga has been around for a long time, and Paz is a moderate. But something like this represents progress, given the long grip socialism has had on the battered Andean country, which is known for its valuable natural resources. And to read the article, Paz doesn't sound like a moderate -- he sounds pretty conservative, seeking to let markets determine prices.  Meanwhile, the performance of the socialists in office over 20 long years was execrable . . . I'm just surprised the ruling socialists didn't rig the election enough to keep themselves in power. The article describes how Morales and other leftists have sought to spoil their ballots ahead of the coming runoff, but that's a rearguard action that won't work. 


Well perhaps 40 years from now, we'll cheer socialism's final defeat in NYC as a geriatric Mamdani is wheeled out of Gracie Mansion. Unless he goes the way of Ceaucescu before that.


On another front, as the geschrei and handwringing over both the calling out of the National Guard to combat crime in Democrat controlled criminal breeding grounds also known as cities continues, we also have the predictable and disgusting threats against our President from the usual quarters. Not just on this issue but on every issue under the sun where President Trump's agenda and its wild successes have exposed the Democrats as the inept, incompetent and criminal tyrants that they are.


State Rep. Justin Pearson (D-TN) claimed that his party needed to pull out all the stops and fight back against Republicans — to whom he referred alternately as “fascists” and “neo-confederates” — and argued that it wouldn’t matter in the long run what they were willing to do as long as they won.

Pearson was ousted from his position in the Tennessee House when he helped lead his party’s efforts to “occupy” the State House in protest, and then was reinstated days later — after claiming that he’d been forced out by “racists.” During his appearance with MSNBC’s Ali Velshi, he discussed the current state of American politics — particularly with regard to redistricting battles and Governor Gavin Newsom’s (D-CA) plan to “fight fire with fire.”

Does this tedious yammering eggplant not know he and his ilk are outgunned and outnumbered, figuratively and dare I say it, quite literally. Let's leave it at that.


Meanwhile, with corrupt hack-in-black judges along with crime and illegal aliens running wild in the streets, the implications of this story strike a chord, at least with me:


People have showered an alleged car thief in a California jail with donations after she beat up a fellow inmate who is charged, along with her husband, with torturing and killing her eight-year-old stepdaughter.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. But, when people feel that the justice system rewards/coddles criminals and is tilted against honest and decent people, I guess this kind of thing is to be expected.

Certainly where this kind of thing happens:

This Man Dodged Prison For Beating Two Pro-Lifers. Biden Jailed Pro-Lifers Over Peaceful Protests. Dozens of peaceful pro-life protesters were targeted during the Biden administration.

I think my point has been made.

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!
