The Morning Report — 12/12/25

Good morning kids. In its nearly 200-year rampage to attain absolute power, the Left and its political epicenter have worked feverishly via the Communist playbook to tear down every pillar of our society, history and heritage that undergirds the American experiment that had made us the exception to every other one that has come before us and since in human history, hence the term "American exceptionalism." We are or were the exception to all other forms of government that degraded, demeaned and relegated the individual as mere servants, serfs and slaves to all powerful rulers, kings and dictators. One of the key pillars of our society, and a source of pride and inspiration has been our military, especially those who serve and have served honorably and most especially to those who gave their lives to keep us free and preserve the bastion and beacon and shining example of freedom for the world (which sadly has decided that the opposite is preferable so that for the most part, we have 200 or so Cubas and Somalias all over the globe).

Coming back from that tangent and to our military, one of the greatest achievements that President Trump and his outstanding Secretary of War Pete Hegseth have done is to restore our military to razor-sharp readiness and effectiveness in the defense of this nation and its interests. That which had deteriorated to such an extent in the wake of 9/11 and the muddled insanity of the so-called insane Global War on Terror which in point of fact under Dubya, Cheney and various and sundry others became the eternal state of War on Terra and the equally mad nation-building scam that did nothing but demoralize Americans at home as their sons and daughters came home in flag-draped caskets while inspiring foreigners whose nations we pulverized while alienating them to hate us even more than before we arrived to "liberate" them from that which they did not want to be liberated, primarily ISLAM.

Because this President is putting an end to all that nonsense, he has earned some of the bitterest of enemies within the global militarist (not military) and corrupted failed diplomatic circles that have created much of the Post World War 2 mess that we find ourselves in. In rejiggering our military and foreign policy to one that is America-centric, he has put himself and his allies like Hegseth firmly in the crosshairs of some very pissed off individuals who do not appreciate their decades long power and influence taken away from them. And given the attempts on Trump crosshairs is for sure appropriate. And now, with first the strikes on Iran's nuclear capabilities and now the interdiction and elimination of narco-terrorist smuggling boats, some if not all aided and abetted by central and South American nation states along with Red CHina, the chattering classes are yammering away endlessly about war crimes.

They're not merely beating their gums.

In the 1990s, Captain Michael Cronin, a Navy pilot who had been captured and tortured in Vietnam, began to lobby for a bill that would hold his Vietnamese torturers accountable.

The ‘War Crimes Act’ was passed and Cronin died in 2020 without his torturers facing justice.

The bill, originally sold as a way to hold torturers of Americans accountable, did nothing to stop abuses of American prisoners, either by Communist or Islamist foes. Its criminalization of Geneva Conviction violations was never going to matter to our enemies, instead it became a weapon used by them, and their radical allies in the United States, against our troops.

Republican House and Senate majorities allowed the ‘War Crimes Act’ to sail through even though it had been loaded with the biggest poison pill of all, applying its provisions to American soldiers, and President Bill Clinton, a former anti-war protester, gleefully signed it into law.

The ‘War Crimes Act of 1996’ was the fever dream wishlist of every anti-Vietnam War protester, threatening to prosecute American soldiers for international law violations, and would probably never have become law if it hadn’t been smuggled through using a Vietnam War POW as an unwitting human shield. Once the bill had been passed, it was weaponized against Americans.

In a not necessarily unrelated story from a few weeks ago, Zohran Mamdani the mayor-elect of NYC announced his intention to arrest Bibi Netanyahu and hand him over to the International Criminal Court for the unspeakable crime of defending Jews from Islamic genocide. Mamdani's election is I fear not merely a one-off but given the embrace of socialism by the younger generations of voters and sadly older ones as well, and the vicissitudes of American electoral politics, sadly one day we will once again have a Democrat in the White House, will he/she/It be merely a typical liberal schmuck or a full-on Maoist like Mamdani and his ilk?!

Regardless, America as founded, what remains of it and what had been restored and please God is yet to be restored by the second half of Trump 2.0 and perhaps two terms of a President Vance, will once again be ripped apart by the next incarnation of Obama on radioactive steroids.

I predict that if/when (ugh!) that nightmare becomes a reality, Donald Trump, Pete Hegseth and perhaps most of the flag officer corps involved in the sinking of the Venezuelan drug boats as well as the bombing of Iran will be charged with war crimes. Given the nature of the lawsuits and shampeachments that Trump has gone through, as well as the persecution via prosecution of the J-6 protesters, you can guess the rest.

And with that, will be the final nail in the coffin of the United States armed forces. It will be transmogrified into something akin to the Red Guards or Iran's IRGC.

Not to worry, we'll always have the GOP:

The Indiana State Senate rejected a plan to redraw the Hoosier State’s congressional map before the 2026 midterm elections. President Donald J. Trump and Governor Mike Braun (R-IN) pushed Republican lawmakers in the legislature to back the plan, but Republican defections scuttled the bill that would have redrawn the map on Thursday.Under the failed proposal, the congressional districts for Representatives Frank Mrvan (D-IN) and Andre Carson (D-IN) would have essentially been eliminated and replaced with two Republican-leaning seats, making the entire state’s delegation in the U.S. House of Representatives a Republican one. Currently, Republicans hold seven of the state’s nine U.S. House seats.The setback in Indiana follows a recent Supreme Court decision allowing Texas to use its newly redrawn map, which creates five additional GOP-favorable districts. Indiana had become a focal point in Trump’s nationwide effort to reshape congressional districts ahead of the 2026 midterms, a strategy aimed at maintaining the narrow Republican majority in the U.S. House of Representatives.

GOP = GRIFTING OLEAGENOUS PARASITES

And, I must admit that when I saw this story,

the first image that popped into my head was Jack Ruby getting up close and personal with L.H. Oswald. Oh well.
