The Morning Report — 8/27/25

Good morning kids. Sadly, picking up from where I left off yesterday, President Trump is defending his decision to grant 600,000 student visas to Red Chinese students. RUFKM Mr. President?!

“We’re getting along very well with China. And I’m getting along very well with President Xi. I think it’s very insulting to say students can’t come here because they’ll go out, they’ll start building schools and they’ll be able to survive it. But, I like that their students come here, I like that other countries’ students come here. And you know what would happen? If they didn’t, our college system would go to hell very quickly,” Trump said.

Mr. President, considering the state of American culture and politics over the past 60 years, the names Bill Ayers, Ted Kaczynski, Luigi Mangione, Rashid Khalidi, John Brennan, and on and on and on, it is evident that our college system is not going to hell. Our college system, and much of Pre-K to 12 is in fact HELL ITSELF by virtue of what its graduates have wrought. What we are suffering this very day, from open borders, to transexual madness, to Wokeness, DEI, racial grievance and anti-Americanism and anti-free market capitalism to censorship, crime and dissolution in our cities that resulted in your calling up of the National Guard, is a result of the nightmare vision that was nurtured in our universities to begin with. And from the admirers of Mao Tse-Tung, one of history's greatest mass murderers, who Xi is an ardent admirer and acolyte...

The same people who defend burning the American flag as a sacred expression of free speech. Ironic given President Trump's move to criminalize flag burning . . .

Republican New Hampshire House candidate Lily Tang Williams on Tuesday warned that allowing more Chinese students to migrate to the U.S. would not be a smart move for the country. President Donald Trump said on Monday that he would enable 600,000 students from China to study in the U.S. Williams said on “Fox & Friends First” that Chinese citizens are legally compelled to assist the Chinese government or else face repercussions and therefore must “be very carefully vetted.” “Well, people have to understand there are different kinds of Chinese students: people like me who come here in the 1980s and 1990s, really want to come here, live under freedom and the land of free, for opportunity to have better lives,” Williams said. “Then later, after China joined the WTO [World Trade Organization] they’re still going to come here. They are the wealthy, powerful children and they come here with a certain test to perform.” “Now, with [Chinese President] Xi Jinping’s Chinese national security and intelligence laws, they have to actually assist, to perform tasks for the Chinese government asks them to perform. Otherwise there will be serious consequences,” she continued. “Anybody who carries Chinese passport potentially needs to be very carefully vetted. And so I think this is not a good idea right now. And plus, we have so many come in during the [former President Joe] Biden years through the southern border. And where are they? Are they all out of our country yet? And are they vetted?”

Vetting even one let alone all 600,000 is impossible, given the limited resources and the fact that Red China is about as repressive, closed and impenetrable as a police state can get.

Psaki-psircling back to President Trump's move to criminalize burning the American Flag, as the owner of a 48-star flag presented to my grandfather at the burial of his son (my uncle) who gave his life on the green hell of Saipan, yes that flag to me and all of you is indeed sacred. But as a free speech absolutist and as painful as it is to witness, if some piece of shit wants to burn a flag, so be it. The problem becomes prosecuting anyone who burns a homosexual rainbow flag or who dares utter the holy of holy words that begins with "N" and BIGGERs the imagination.

Viral fame is proving plenty damaging for Shiloh Hendrix, the Minnesota mom catapulted to notoriety in April for her use of racial slurs. The Rochester City Attorney’s Office is now moving to bring three counts of Disorderly Conduct against Hendrix, according to KTTC News. Hendrix may face up to 90 days in jail, and/or a $1,000 fine, reports the outlet. . .

The legal complaint submitted to a district court judge reads, according to KTTC, “[Hendrix] wrongfully and unlawfully engaged in offensive, obscene, abusive, boisterous, or noisy conduct, or in offensive obscene, or abusive language that would reasonably tend to arouse alarm, anger, or resentment in others.” (RELATED: US Will ‘Soon’ Have ‘Illegal Hate Speech’ Laws, World Economic Forum Panelist Tells Brian Stelter)

Is speech that arouses anger now verboten? Or speech that inspires resentment? 

If so, I suppose we’d all better pray whatever guy we like wins the next election. He — and his appointees — will be the ones deciding which words are too inflammatory to fall on the public’s ears.

It's not about the speech per se, it's about who gets to define what is and what is not permissible and ultimately the nature of the First Amendment and the nature of our society insofar as the aforementioned is one of if not the premier cornerstone of said society.

The Associated Press headlined their piece: “Trump moves to ban flag burning despite Supreme Court ruling that Constitution allows it.” The article included “experts” about free speech and emphasized the Supreme Court’s 1989 ruling.

But when Pride flags are burned, none of these outlets show the same concern for the First Amendment. When “two rainbow pride flags were set on fire outside of a gay bar” in New York, it was part of a spike in “hate crimes,” as written by The Times’ Sharon Otterman. No mention of free speech, no reminder of Texas v. Johnson or the First Amendment.

In 2019, CNN reported on an Iowa man sentenced to years in prison for burning an LGBT flag that was hanging from a church. The act was treated as a hate crime. Similarly, no mention of free speech or the first amendment.

wrapping it up, and Ace covered this late yesterday, God bless and protect that brave young Scottish lass! A few more like her and we can yet save civilization.

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!
