The Morning Report — 1/8/26

Good morning kids. The top story is of course not only the justified taking out of what can only be described as a domestic terrorist behind the wheel of an automobile as she attempted to mow down ICE agents in Minneapolis, but of the truly insane, heinous and altogether completely predictable reaction of the Anti-American Left and its heart of darkness in the Democrat Party. The Projection and incandescent chutzpocrisy to blame President Trump and ICE for doing their duty in rounding up and deporting illegal aliens while at the same time encouraging and praising violent attacks on ICE and police is off the charts infuriating.

Yesterday at 2:22PM, Ace himself said

It's time for Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act.

Considering that this is a "Smart Military Blog ™" and that many of you are smart military people and/or just smart people, You know full well what he is referring to, but for the sake of clarity, this is what it states:

The Insurrection Act is a U.S. federal law passed in 1807 that originally authorized the president of the United States to deploy “such part of the land or naval force of the United States” that the president deems necessary to suppress an insurrection or to enable the local enforcement of federal or state laws. The act thereby expanded the president’s existing authority—under the Militia Acts of 1792 and 1795—to employ state militias to repel invasions or to enforce federal laws. The original text of the Insurrection Act is: individual state or territory, where it is lawful for the President of the United States to call forth the militia for the purpose of suppressing such insurrection, or of causing the laws to be duly executed, it shall be lawful for him to employ, for the same purposes, such part of the land or naval force of the United States, as shall be judged necessary, having first observed all the pre-requisites of the law in that respect.

Psaki-Psircling back to the chutzpocrisy of the Left, considering what happened at the Capitol 5 years ago this past Tuesday, imagine the nightmare scenario if God-forbid Hillary Clinton had been President. There is no doubt that Ashli Babbitt and Roseanne Boyland would've been two among dozens or scores of Americans whose bodies would've been stacked like cordwood, and the Republican lawmakers and others rounded up and arrested for fomenting insurrection.

That said, President Trump would be completely justified in his invocation of that act. And now given the fact that the pederast criminal governor Walz is contemplating calling up the National Guard to essentially do what that now ventilated asshole in the car attempted to do and that is form a skirmish line to open fire on ICE agents to stop them from doing their sworn duty.

I think at some point, and very soon, President Trump is going to have to go before the American people to address this very dangerous and explosive situation before things get out of hand if indeed we've already blown past that warning sign. What happened is not the first incident of this kind as attacks on ICE and Police have been through the roof this past year.

What I would like to see is the President hold a nationally televised ceremony to to award the Ice agents who took this terrorist down some sort of medal of valor. Hopefully before the left turns the ventilated terrorist into the next George Floyd/Horst Wessel.

That and declare total war on all organized and individual acts of anti-law enforcement insurrectionists. And as Ace suggested if the insurrection act is invoked. It's high time to decapitate the head of the snake — The Democrat National Committee and anyone who publicly foments, and approves of any assault on any law enforcement officer, national or local. It's terrorism straight up. It must be crushed. Whatever dangers there may be politically in the near or long term, the danger to our civil society is real and it is mortal Doing nothing will be one of the final signposts on the road to America's extinction as it was founded.

This madness ends now, or ultimately it ends us.

The Insurrection Proclamation: Trump issued it eight months ago. Governors called it an immigration order. When you review the eight-month timeline you recognize what most ‘experts’ miss. The April 28 EO satisfied every Section 334 requirement. It designated sanctuary conduct as insurrection. It provided formal notification. It established consequences. It granted eight months to comply. Compliance never arrived. California and New York passed laws shielding criminal networks. Illinois officials threatened to prosecute ICE agents. Multiple states coordinated legal defenses against federal authority. Courts blocked every standard enforcement attempt. They certified that ordinary measures have become impracticable.

Have a great day.

And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

In both cases, there were clear and obvious engineering issues that said both the Apollo capsule and the space shuttle were not ready to fly, but the pressure of schedule convinced managers at NASA to look the other way, to place those scheduling concerns above fundamental engineering principles. In both cases, people died when the engineering issues were ignored.
