The Morning Report — 11/25/25

Good morning kids. whatever you may think about Marjorie Taylor-Greene as a politician, a person and as a purported supporter/standard bearer and soldier of the MAGA movement or an opponent of the self-destructive trajectory we have been on for decades, her announcement of her intention to not run for office come the midterms, regardless of her personal animus towards or even rivalry with or jealousy of President Trump destroys whatever credibility she might have had. Personally, over time this move just cements my impression of her as a self-serving grandstanding fraud. Her ineffectiveness notwithstanding, leaving a House seat vulnerable for the Democrats to pick off come the midterms is a stab in the back and a boot stomp to the face of the American people.

So, MTG is an egomaniacal attention whore sellout. But what of this?!

A senior House Republican predicts that more "explosive early resignations are coming" after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's (R-Ga.) surprise announcement that she would leave Congress in January. . . It’s unknown which Republicans are currently pondering resignation, but a feeling that legislators' needs are being neglected by party leadership and an inability to pass legislation has led some to consider quitting, as they expect the GOP to lose its already slim majority in Congress.

Yeah, unnamed sources etc. etc., I get it. It could all be disinformatsiya to sow dissent and confusion, especially with the base in the coming year before a crucial midterm. And yet the GOP itself has been having an identity crisis ever since President Trump descended the golden Trump Tower escalator just over a decade ago now.

Even before then, it was painfully evident that all the GOP was good for whenever they controlled the majority if not all three branches of government was being seat warmers for the Democrats and never daring to lift a finger to reverse one iota of their agenda let alone slam on the brakes and put the crazy train in reverse. Years of Continuing Resolutions and no budgets and nothing but platitudes about shrinking the government with maybe a minor window dressing of a tax cut here and there merely proves the GOP to be Grifting Oleaginous Parasites.

What Does The Republican Party Even Stand For? — Unlike Democrats, Republicans have no unified vision of what they view as success for the country —

While Americans continue to grapple with high costs of living and an increasingly broken health care system — both products of reckless government intervention — your Republican House majority decided to expend what little “low t” energy it has on a useless resolution that basically says, “SOCIALISM IS BAD!”
. . . But Friday’s vote was hardly the first do-nothing dog-and-pony show Republicans have put on for their constituents. For years, GOP politicos have graced the airwaves of Fox News and conservative media, telling voters what they want to hear about the issues of the day while simultaneously doing absolutely nothing of substance to address them.
During the 2024 election cycle, Republicans promised a generational “America First” reformation that would reshape political governance as we know it. And now, 10 months into GOP trifecta control of the federal government, this “generational change” has amounted to little more than a tax bill, which many Republicans seem to believe is enough to keep them in power next year. . . For all of their alleged opposition to Democrats, too many Republicans agree with Democrats on several substantive issues and support more government involvement in areas where it has no business being. For all intents and purposes, the current GOP is a party comprised of various ideological factions, disillusioned as to what “America First” actually means.

BINGO, that last sentence. The GOP is only there to preseve, protect and defend their place at the trough. MTG and whoever else can piss and moan about President Trump or whatever, but that they have essentially done nothing to actually legislate his agenda to make it the law of the land speaks volumes.

Well, there's treason/insurrection and sedition and then there's Mark Kelly and his ilk essentialy egging on the military to rise up and overthrow the government

And we also have the mortal threat of Islam and uncontrolled immigraion/cum invasion as we now see on full display with the hardly shocking if not terrifying implications of what the Somali parasites have done and are doing in Minnesota.

And then there's the utterly detestable scumbag Jamie Raskin who proves himself to be a glittering jewel of stupidity with this statement:

Monday on CNN’s “The Situation Room,” Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) dismissed Delegate Stacey Plaskett’s (D-VI) text message exchange with Jeffrey Epstein during a House hearing because he said Republican lawmakers text with President Donald Trump.

Congratulations genius. Brilliant move! In trying to equate Epstein with Trump to paint the latter as a reprobate pedophile, etc. all Raskin did was proclaim Epstein to be at the highest level of Democrat party leadership!

That right there is a campaign ad that almost writes itself, except for the fact that the GOP is the GOP as I bemoaned above.

And as for the Democrats, this one just says it all about who and what they are:

• As an Arizonan, I have long found it galling that Kelly uses his military service (and his injured wife) as a shield to claim fervent patriotism while constantly voting to undermine our state and our nation. He did so again this week in an infamous video, urging military members to disobey Donald Trump with claims of “unlawful” orders. Turns out Kelly is not only a hypocrite, but he could also be heading back for a court-martial.
