The Morning Report — 9/5/25

Good morning kids. A couple of positive things to start things off on this Friday, first up We have, despite the propagandist Goebbelsian media's proclamations to the contrary, HHS Sec. RFK Jr. completely owning a Senate panel whose sole objective is to derail the MAHA agenda and in so doing derail the MAGA agenda that it is a component of. In the run-up to the 2024 election, RFK Jr. was looked on by most of us with suspicion due to his far-left pedigree, initial Democrat candidacy and then his abortive independent run. His personal views on vaccines and their effects and even efficacy on children plus their suspected links to autism were and of course remain controversial. And yet he has become a staunch ally of President Trump and his shining a light on both big Pharma and the failings of the CDC and HHS in keeping Americans healthy over the course of many decades, as well as his apostasy in the eyes of Democrats/Leftists in betraying his lefty heritage for all of the aforementioned has put him squarely in their crosshairs. But he seems to be more than up to the task in defending himself and the agenda.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. fired back at Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) in the early moments of what turned out to be a very contentious Capitol Hill hearing on Thursday, exclaiming at one point, “Do I get a reply?”

Throughout the Senate Finance Committee hearing, Kennedy fielded a number of pointed questions about recent shake-ups at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and his complete overhaul of the panel meant to make recommendations on vaccines — and numerous senators used their time to effectively offer their own testimony in place of his, routinely leaving him barely enough time to answer yes-or-no questions. Wyden, after using some of his time to complain that Kennedy was “politicizing” the committee that recommends vaccines, accused him of compromising children’s health. [You’re] enacting an agenda that I think is fundamentally cruel and defies common sense,” Wyden claimed, before ceding the floor back to the committee chair. “Do I get a reply?” Kennedy asked then, and after apparently getting the go-ahead to respond, he directed his comments at Wyden. “Senator, you’ve sat in that chair for how long? 20, 25 years? While the chronic disease in our children went up to 76%. And you said nothing. You never asked the question why it’s happening, why is this happening?”

“Today, for the first time in 20 years, we learned that infant mortality has increased in our country,” Kennedy continued. “It’s not because I came in here. It’s because of what happened during the Biden administration that we’re going to end.”

Fortuitous that it was Wyden who got smacked, in that aside from being a twisted degenerate tyrannical leftist, he looks as if he's doing embalming fluid shooters? Makes Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants look like Charles freaking Atlas!

Next is the smackdown of a hack-in-black whose nakedly anti-Trump and anti-American anti-constitutional injunction that shut down Alligator Alley has been lifted and once again, those poor alligators have to swim in the same water and be exposed to third world disease-carrying human waste. Oh the huge manatees!

The plaintiffs claimed the government needed to prepare an environmental impact statement. In August, U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams granted the plaintiffs a preliminary injunction, ordering authorities to halt all new construction and remove most of the site within 60 days. However, the appeals court panel believes the government will succeed because the site isn’t subject to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). A “major federal action” triggers the requirement for an EIS. Well, the state operates the facility and has not received any federal funding yet (omitted citations):. . . I’m so tired of judges not reading the law. This isn’t hard to interpret. Then again, we have too many gun laws that violate the Second Amendment, so I’m not surprised.

And speaking of the Second Amendment, what to make of this bit of news?

In the wake of the latest deadly attack on a school by a transgender-identifying individual, President Donald Trump’s Justice Department is considering blocking trans-identifying people from buying firearms, The Daily Wire has learned. . .

The DOJ’s discussions center on the fact that those who identify as transgender suffer from gender dysphoria, a mental disorder, the DOJ source familiar with the conversations shared with The Daily Wire. Gender dysphoria describes the sense of unease that a man or woman may feel if he or she thinks that their biological sex is mismatched with their so-called gender identity.

A DOJ spokesman would not comment on specific measures being considered, but said that a “range of options” is on the table.

On the one hand, anyone who is a man and looks in the mirror and thinks he's a woman does indeed have some sort of psychosis or mental disorder. Not being a psychiatrist I cannot define exactly medically what that is. Of course in the current political climate, it's perfectly normal and were I an MD my license to practice medicine would be at risk for me to express that opinion. And were I a comedian in the UK, I could be chucked into prison for saying so.

But back to the second Amendment, does being a transexual or transvestite in and of itself negate one's right to keep and bear arms?

It puts the left on defense in both having to defend transsexualism as normal and the right to keep and bear arms which they oppose almost as much as they defend the right to murder infants in utero.

Elsewhere in the world, in the wake of theUS Navy blowing a Venezuelan drug smuggling boat out of the water, before it could drop its load of poison onto our shores, Maduro did something pretty fucking stupid.

“Today, two Maduro regime military aircraft flew near a US Navy vessel in international waters,” the Pentagon said in a statement. “This highly provocative move was designed to interfere with our counter narco-terror operations.” 

Aside from being a stereotypical Latin American Marxist banana republic thug he's also directly involved as a major narcotics trafficker who enjoys the logistical and security support of a heavily armed military. On top of that, he has forged strong alliances wit the Iranian terrorist regime whose agents have operated directly out of Venezuela to infiltrate north into America and the rest of Latin America, and in the north of the country to set up some sort of military base, presumably from which Iran could potentially launch ballistic missiles that could reach American targets. Not sure if that project was ever completed, was halted or perhaps with the Iranian regime possibly on the ropes in the wake of US and Israeli strikes on its nuclear sites, permanently stopped.

And of course, the Red Chinese communists under XI continue to ramp up their efforts to gain a foothold in our hemisphere to challenge our security. It's probably fair to assume much of the Chi-Com flooding of fentanyl and opioids into the USA comes through Latin America. Hello Maduro?

The new framework, formalized in the 2025–2027 China-CELAC Joint Action Plan, is based on nearly intuitive premises—Solidarity, Development, Civilization, Peace, and People-to-People Connectivity—reflecting China’s evolving toolkit for influence in the region. However, beneath the language of mutual respect and cooperation lies the most consequential goal: to position China as a dominant actor in the Americas.  This plan represents China’s most significant effort to date to bolster its influence in the Americas, revealing the contours of Beijing’s long-term ambitions in the region. It raises urgent questions about the future of sovereignty and strategic alignment for Latin American and Caribbean countries, as well as national security for the U.S.

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!

• Shutdowns have nothing to do with budgets; they're about politics, as both parties use looming threats to posture for their bases. On one side, we have Democrats scaring us that children will starve without more spending. Republicans warn that debt will sink the nation without restraint. Then, when the dust settles, spending continues to rise no matter which side claims victory. It's a simple, repeatable scam: Politicians get to raise money, legacy media receives a fresh crisis, and lobbyists keep their access. There's only one loser in this game: the American people, who continue to deal with uncertainty and disruption.
