The Morning Report — 10/28/25

Good morning kids. Ah yes, Death's Head deadhead Democrat Graham Platner has been shown to have planted his hobnailed jackboot in his throat. Or given that he has the magical "D" designator after his name, at the end of the day, will it really matter? Just axing the question, folks.

Democrat Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner defended a 2013 Reddit post asking “why black people don’t tip,” telling Pod Save America last week that he was “legitimately curious” and did not mean it “in any malicious way.”

So far no comment from the NAACP, the National Association for the Advancement of CHEAP People!

And while we're on the subject of axing questions, here's one that seems to be more and more relevant day after day now:

License To Kill: What Turns Normal People To Political Violence? . . . How did we reach such a point where assassination is not only excused but openly applauded? And where will this path of legitimized violence take us next? We, two immigrants from China, have seen this descent before. And tragically, we know all too well where it leads.

I suppose this is a good follow up to yesterday's editorial in which I disagreed with Victor Davis Hanson's observation on a cycle of political violence from both sides, insofar as all the political violence is coming from one side, the Democrat/Socialist/Left and inflicted on us. In China, as the authors know all too well, the State and the Communist Party under Mao slaughtered 16 million or more of its citizens and outlawed and erased thousands of years of Chinese history and culture as well as late 20th century modernity that conflicted with the Communist dogma that put the CCP and kept them in power.

The parallels to wokism/Leftism and Democrat policy are truly frightening. The only difference is unlike the Chinese peasantry and sane/moral intelligentsia, those who are viewed by the Democrat anti-AMerican Left as their enemies are armed to the teeth.

The only unknown is, what will it take (and I cannot stress this enough) GOD-FORBID for those weapons to actually be wielded.

On that note, there's this item:

The suspect, identified as Tyler Maxon Avalos, allegedly posted an image of Bondi with a caption that read “WANTED: Pam Bondi — REWARD: $45,000 — DEAD OR ALIVE (Preferably Dead),” Fox News reported Monday. . . The Fox report said Avalos has a long criminal history that includes convictions for stalking and domestic violence.

A big part of the problem is not only those willing to commit acts of political terrorism, but a political and judicial system that gives it more than a mere nod-and-a-wink okay to pull the trigger, if you will. But the full power of the state to protect those who actually do it snd ind in doing so aids and abets in the terrorism acting as a sort of de facto state sponsor, if you will, of terrorism.

The defendant’s attorneys had asked the judge’s permission for Robinson to wear civilian clothing and appear unshackled in court, arguing that appearing like a prisoner would bias a jury’s perception. The defense team made special mention of the amount of attention the case has received. The judge appeared swayed by the defense team’s argument, though Graf’s sympathy was limited. The judge said that the request to appear in civilian clothes would cause only “minimal inconvenience” to the Utah County Sheriff’s Office when compared to Robinson’s interest in a fair trial.

Big deal or no? But then there's this:

For months, Antifa and its communist "comrades" have taken control of areas around the Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Portland. It literally has been an Antifa No-Go zone: If they say "no," you can't go.

Since June, whenever Antifa members wanted to, they could, without any pushback from police, take over the street in front of the facility and leave motorists skedaddling to find another way home. Portland Police Bureau officers have been fine with allowing the Antifa takeover of this area since the violent domestic terror group started its occupation of the area. In fact, police have protected the terror organization's takeover by keeping drivers away from their pet protesters and ordering them to go home another way. Drivers have been threatened with arrest if they attempt to drive slowly through the crowd illegally blocking the road. 

In addition to access to an organized safe house in a nearby apartment so they can potty, eat, and, rest to refresh themselves before starting their next shift of vandalism and violence, Antifa has taken over swaths of sidewalks around the facility. The group operates out of a collection of pop-up tents that I've personally seen and have described as grimy and disgusting. Independent journalist Nick Shirley said it looked as if hoarders lived there. How right we are. So in addition to being a health hazard, these various encampments prevent residents from freedom of movement. 

I cannot even imagine where we'd be had Chlamydia Harris won the last election. Well, much of this would not be happening since ICE would have been abolished and a couple more million illegal aliens would have crossed the RIO Grande, the Pacific and the Atlantic oceans and spread out across the nation like the plague.

But of course, if Lord forbid they do seize the reins of power in the midterms and again in '28, We are in for a wave of terror that I don't even want to think about.

Have a good day!

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.
