The Morning Report — 10/17/25

Good morning kids. So mustachioed egomaniac Deep State blowhard John Bolton was indicted for the alleged mishandling of documents.

he FBI raided Bolton’s home in August. The investigation began several years ago over “stealing classified documents and weaponizing them for political purposes.” The Biden junta shut down the investigation, but the Trump administration’s FBI reopened it. . . Man, this will be another stain on the Biden junta if the prosecutors can prove their case. I think we all know why Biden’s DOJ closed it down…Bolton has become such a loudmouth anti-Trump talking head.

Indeed. One of the few negative aspects to President Trump especially in his first term was his reliance on D.C. government lifers to fill out his team as advisers and cabinet members. His belief that their loyalty to their nation outweighed whatever partisan leanings they had was a grave miscalculation as we all are well aware by now. Whether Bolton was involved in the Comey/Clapper/Brennan/Clinton cabal that cooked up the Russia collusion hoax, there is no doubt that he cheered it on. Not because he believed it but because he knew that Trump was an existential threat to the Deep State club that he was a card-carrying member.

The most egregious aspects of this is not so much that Bolton's warped worldview mirroring that of foggy Bottom and the self-styled elitists there and in every department and agency of the bureaucracy as a whole, has led to carnage around the world and the wastage of life, money and human potential here at home. Bad as that naked unvarnished truth is, it's the inbred beady eyed scumbag media whores like Joe Scarborough et al claiming that the prosecution of Bolton, and that criminal whore Letitia James are political retribution. The chutzpocrisy of that considering the wave of false charges and lies hurled at candidate and then President Trump, just beggars the imagination.

On an encouraging note

“First time ever: the FBI arrested Antifa-aligned anarchist violent extremists and terrorism charges have been brought for the July 4 Prairieland ICE attack in Texas. Under President Trump’s new authorities we’ve made 20+ arrests,” he said on X.Court records and public reports state that on the night of the attack, a group of ten to 12 individuals dressed in black tactical gear ignited fireworks and spray-painted anti-ICE messages such as “ICE pig” and “traitor” on vehicles and buildings. Once officers responded, gunfire erupted. One officer from the Alvarado Police Department was shot in the neck from a concealed position in nearby woods. Another assailant reportedly fired 20 to 30 rounds at unarmed ICE staff.

So, is Antifa an actual bona fide organization(s) or is it merely a political ideology where individuals alone or in groups act alone or unite to commit acts of political violence/terrorism. Much like Muslims who disavow or obfuscate the motivations of Muslims who commit acts of terrorism in the name Islam, which is not extremist, radical or otherwise but is in fact observing/practicing the so-called religious precepts as they are written in the Koran. To not do so and to actually condemn them truthfully (not disingenuously via the concept of taqqiya) would be to commit an act of blasphemy that would bring a fatwa on one's head which could rapidly separate it from one's shoulders (see Theo Van Gogh and Salman Rushdie for examples).

as for Antifa, if indeed they are being financially backed and politically protected (Portland Oregon for sure the latter), the Democrat-Left either approve of their actions if not politically benefit from them.

This item also warms the cockles of the heart

Trump Eyes IRS Overhaul To Go After George Soros, Leftist Donor Networks . . . The move would allow the administration to more easily control the reins of the IRS criminal-investigative division, The Wall Street Journal reported.

For those who say this could come back to bite us one day If or God-forbid when a Democrat once again wins, or steals the White House. Between Obama and Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants, conservatives have been persecuted, imprisoned and censored for years. A president Titty-Caca Ocasio will unleash or at least attempt to unleash hell on the GOP and conservatives since after all we are all white supremacist fascist Nazis posing an existential threat to their precious democracy.

Imagine an entire government top to bottom of Luigi Mangiones and transexual mass assassins.

With that in mind, this so -called No Kings protests are slated for this weekend:

The Communist Party is well known for its opposition to kings, it prefers other sorts of unelected tyrants like ‘premiers’, ‘general secretaries’ and ‘commissars’. . . . The CPUSA platform, as of 1919 (as published in The Ohio Socialist) was that “the Communist Labor Party of America declares itself in complete accord with the principles of Communism, as laid down in the Manifesto of the Third International formed in Moscow” in which “the working class must organize and train itself for the capture of state power” and “this new working class government — the Dictatorship of the Proletariat — will reorganize society on the basis of Communism, and accomplish the transition from Capitalism to the Communist Commonwealth” which will consist of “organs of administration created and controlled by the masses themselves;
such as, for example, the Soviets in Russia”.

What would that look like in America?

“The Party shall maintain strict control over all members elected to public office — not only the local organizations, but the National Executive Committee. All public officials who refuse to accept the decisions of the Party shall be immediately expelled.”

As I stated, a government run top to bottom by Luigi Mangiones. At one point though, they'll likely turn the guns on themselves because like Pogo "They have met the enemy and they is us!" No, not because they suddenly had an epiphany but because the Bolshevik faction wants to do away with their Menshevik rivals and control it all for all time.

Have a great weekend!

In addition to meeting domestic demand, India profits handsomely from selling refined oil products, such as gasoline and diesel, abroad — including to countries such as Ukraine which recently stopped buying Russian crude refined in India to prevent the money from funding its own invasion.
