The Morning Report — 12/2/25

Good morning kids. As per yesterday's post about President Trump calling for Bro-Fo Omar to be stripped of citizenship and deported, despite being absolutely justified is likely a non-starter for a number of reasons. But that said, one has to ask why President Trump is wont to make these sort of statements. Does he do it just to stir things up, knowing that nothing will ever come of them? It does shine a very bright light on a do-nothing Congress, even if it is controlled by the GOP (I didn't use the term "his party" as it really isn't), and a bureaucracy and judiciary that is controlled by his bitterest enemies. The salient point is that by his making these kind of statements, he puts the issues and the bigger picture out into the broader public discourse and that to me is something that very few if any politicians on our side have ever done. Trump doesn't give a damn about how it looks, so long as he gets a broader point across and that ultimately in the long term if not short term I think will have a salutary effect on our government and society at large.

Just to underscore it, in the words of our friend and friend of the blog the estimable Robert Spencer:

President Donald Trump recently offered yet another devastating characterization of one of the Democrats’ legion of America-Last, far-left politicians. All of Trump’s rhetorical cylinders were firing as he gave us this: The worst “Congressman/woman” in our Country, Ilhan Omar, always wrapped in her swaddling hijab, and who probably came into the U.S.A. illegally in that you are not allowed to marry your brother, does nothing but hatefully complain about our Country, its Constitution, and how “badly” she is treated, when her place of origin is a decadent, backward, and crime ridden nation, which is essentially not even a country for lack of Government, Military, Police, schools, etc.” The “swaddling hijab” business is a nice little nod to the Christmas season, and while this is Trump at his most acidic, there is no denying any of it. In fact, Ilhan Omar herself has made it clear more than once that she has little but contempt for the land that welcomed her and her family and gave them refuge from her violent, anarchic, war-torn homeland.

And so it goes. Obviously the leftist propaganda press as is their wont and mission will do everything to shield the President's targets and in turn attack him, his allies and agenda. While we must do all we can to be on guard from the foreign born invaders hell bent on taking us down, what in Heaven's name can we do to eradicate the equally lethal, if not more deadly threat, from the enemies within who are not foreign born but whose mindset, beliefs and goals are as devastating as Afghani gunmen or Saudi/Eguptian airplane hijackers. Back to you, Mr. President:

Referring to Holder by the nickname “FAST AND FURIOUS,” invoking the Obama-era gun-running scandal, Trump warned that Holder “emphatically stated, above all else, that Democrats will PACK the Supreme Court of the United States if they get the chance.” According to Trump, Holder supports not just a minor expansion, but an increase to “21 Radical Left Activist Judges,” up from “the heretofore 15 that they were seeking.”

For those who are unaware, and if you've been coming to the Ace of Spades HQ for any length of time, you certainly know what the President is referring to. but for the sake of clarity, "Fast and Furious" was a highly illegal and horrendously evil scheme cooked up by Obama and Holder to run guns into Mexico so that the criminal element there would cause such bloodshed and havoc that Obama and Holder would use the carnage to attempt to whip up public outrage here on this side of the border, and create a groundswell of public opinion to abolish entirely or render ineffective our Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.

In the event all it did was turn Mexico into a narco-terrorist state and whip up public sentiment in that country against its own eternally corrupt government to do something to try and smash the drug cartels. Just a week or so ago there was a massive protest against the corrupt Claudia Scheinbaum regime in that nation's capital:

TPUSA Frontlines reporter Julio Rojas covered a protest in Mexico City on Thursday in which Mexican citizens denounced the presence of the cartel in their country and the failures of President Claudia Scheinbaum’s administration in sufficiently addressing it.

The protests took place at the Angel of Independence Monument in the Zocalo in the Historic Downtown Neighborhood. According to the US Embassy in Mexico, the march coincided “with the Mexican Revolution Commemorative Military Parade, which begins at 10:00 am at the Zocalo and ends at the Revolution Monument.”

Other actions from the Mexican government are also being criticized in protests that have been ongoing throughout the past week; several of these protests are being attended by younger citizens, rallying against corruption and other “injustices” from the government, leading news outlets to call it a “Gen Z Uprising.”

Elsewhere, and on a more upbeat note:

The most extraordinary thing about the confrontation that wrongly sent Ian Cranston, an unassuming young man in glasses, to prison for a decade, is that there was very little argument over the facts because they’re amply documented and were caught on video.

The prosecution admitted that Cranston was assaulted by Barry Washington Jr: a violent criminal who had been harassing his fiancée. The assault by Washington was severe enough that Cranston looks battered in his booking photo, suffered a brain injury, and had to be taken to the hospital for evaluation.

Before Ian Cranston shot Washington in self-defense, the drunken violent criminal had not only attacked him, but also his fiancée, and had punched another of Cranston’s friends in the nose.

The only reason a case that normally should never have even come to trial not only did, but led to an innocent man being locked up for ten years was due to the deadliest three letter acronym.

BLM.

BLM and Antifa of course are the unofficial/official brownshirt/black mob stormtroopers of the Democrat Left. And considering this case is unfolding in Oregon, which is and has always been a safe haven and a home base for the most violent of Antifa Leftist political terrorists. It is essentially Gaza on the Willamette, If Cranston is exonerated it will be nothing short of a miracle. In any case, this is how vigilante death squads and Star Chambers are born. Add to this the case of Daniel Penny and what was done to him and the families of victims of illegal aliens who went unpunished as well as what’s happening in Britain with the Islamic rape gangs that will one day perhaps soon be coming here . . . and voila, the USA goes third world.

And speaking of all that, across the pond the sun is at long last setting not just on Great Britain but on Civilization itself as this troubling story portends:

The Free Speech Union warns the United Kingdom risks losing “a check on governmental power and arbitrary justice” in “the biggest assault on our liberties in 800 years” if the government is able to push ahead this week with plans said to be looking at abolishing the right to a trial by jury in all but the most serious cases, such as murder, rape, terrorism, and others. For many other criminal cases where defendants face considerable jail time, the chance to have their guilt assessed by their peers hangs in the balance as Justice Secretary David Lammy looks for a cut-cost way to clear a backlog in cases, and the Union warns freedom of expression cases are particularly threatened.

So much for packing the Court, eh Holder? Hell, just do away with trials altogether!!! And as far as all but the most serious cases, they mean the ability to go after the political enemies of the Left and ultimately Islam. Oh there will be courts and trials, all done according to SHARIA law.

And as Bro-Fo, Mamdani and the Afghan assassin in DC show, it's coming here . . FAST and FURIOUS, so to speak.

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.

• Glenn H. Reynolds: Tuesday is a big day for Tennessee, and for the closely divided US House of Representatives.  Democrats have been vowing to turn red states blue, and last month’s elections gave them some hopeful signs, thanks largely to revved-up urban voters. This week a special election in Tennessee’s 7th District, pitting GOP military veteran Matt Van Epps against far-left candidate Aftyn Behn, will show them just how far their base can take them.  Going by conventional wisdom, this should be a walkover for Van Epps: The district leans Republican by 10 percentage points, and Van Epps’ policy positions echo those of the previous incumbent, former Rep. Mark Green, who resigned in July to launch a new business.
