The Morning Report — 11/24/25

Good morning kids. Hope you all had a nice relaxed weekend as we are now in the run-up to Thanksgiving, which marks the start of the run-up to Christmas. Or, as my relatives and I would say "Oy gevalt!"

As for the links, once again it's Insurrection, Sedition and Treason oh my! Of course all on the part of the Democrat/Left as it has been almost since the founding of the Republic. If a single image could define the concept of black humor, it would have to be this one, which CBD posted in the sidebar. It's the Babylon Bee with a shot of NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani standing in front of the White House, prior to his Oval Office confab with President Trump. The headline "Breaking: Hamas Breaches White House Perimeter"

Were it not so nightmarishly tragic given who and what Mamdani is and represents, I'd be laughing my ass off, and yet it's absolutely hilarious because of exactly that. I suppose I can understand why the President would have this meeting, perhaps an olive branch for public consumption and when the cameras weren't present maybe reading Mamdani the riot act. Maybe Trump was channeling Yasser Arafat at the UN from about 50 or so years ago when he held out an olive branch in one hand and his .44 Webley in the other. But what did Mamdani have to gain, or was it he who thought he could pull this kind of Arafat maneuver on the President? While that was happening in DC, this was going on in NYC:

Elle Bisgaard-Church, the Chief of Staff for Zohran Mamdani, claimed that Mamdani “made clear that we uphold sanctuary laws in our city and all immigrants will be safe in our city” and those ‘laws’ only allow cooperation with ICE “in extreme violent felony cases.”

What’s an “extreme violent felony”? Well it’s different than a moderate violent felony like a mugging, assault, rape or a mild murder.

It’s kind of like moderate Islam and extreme Islamic terrorism. . . Of course it depends on how you define moderate. Since Mamdani thinks Hamas is moderate, it might actually be more like killing 1,000 people in one hour.

And so as President Trump continues to exercise his Constitutional authority and duty to protect our citizenry by both rounding up and deporting illegal aliens (violent and otherwise) and deploying the National Guard to either help local law enforcement arrest criminals or in some cases do the work that police departments are being prevented from doing by the insane edicts of their Democrat/Marxist mayors and city councils. He's also decided to allow our military assets to interdict and use lethal force to eliminate narco-traffickers on the high seas, before they can unload their lethal cargo onto our shores.

All of this has caused much wetting of undergarments by the Democrat/Left which is merely a distraction from the fact that President Trump and his successful policies are bolstering support from the MAGA and conservative base and even garnering support from those outside that group and from among disaffected Democrats, which has now led to not only violent acts committed by their street thugs and terrorists against law enforcement but for their leaders no openly calling for the troops to disobey national, legal, command authority from their Commander-in-Chief and his military leaders. This is sedition and the fomenting of insurrection.

Wright suggests that Slotkin, who is also former CIA, knew exactly what she was doing by putting out this video. . . On Friday’s “Jesse Watters Primetime” on FNC, former CIA operations officer and host of the “The Wright Report” podcast, Bryan Dean Wright, argued that Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) intentionally sparked a firestorm with what he deemed a “propaganda video” urging military members to defy so-called “illegal orders.”

She and all like her have to swing.

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.

These conclusions confirm President Trump’s Make America Healthy Again Commission’s findings that unnecessary procedures and long-term health risks such as infertility are the byproduct of the overmedicalization of children.
