The Morning Report — 1/12/26

IciclesFarsicles.jpg

Good morning kids. In the lead this morning are the massive anti-regime protests all over Iran that at long last might very well lead to the collapse of this accursed Islamic government that for close to half a century has not only brutally repressed its own people but fomented and exported much of the terrorism that has spilled oceans of blood around the world, including scores of Americans. When they chanted "Death to America" they meant it, and for far too long virtually every administration in this country ignored it and worse, Obama & Biden aided and abetted them, with billions in cash to fuel their nuclear weapons program and as well as their IRGC thugs as well as Hamas, Hezbollah and other proxy groups.

And then came Donald Trump who put a stop to that insanity, and in the wake of the Iranian backed 10/7 attack from Gaza on Israel joined with the Israelis in flattening the Iranian nuclear weapons sites. This, combined with the already collapsing Iranian currency, crumbling fresh water systems and oil refining capacity on top of a disaffected populace that had been on the brink of uprising for years already, is why the Mullahocracy might at long last be on the verge of collapse.

What comes afterwards is of course anyone's guess. Unfortunately, Iran has been a repressive police state and its internal security apparatus along with a very well-armed and no doubt motivated IRGC who will do whatever it deems it must to cling to power as well as save their own skin from an enraged citizenry out for revenge. My gut tells me unless some elements of their armed forces and police back the people or maybe even the son of the Shah if he dares return, then the likelihood of a Moammar Qaddafi or Saddam Hussein coming to power perhaps minus the Islam or the Islamic influence way in the background is a likely scenario.

As for Prsident Trump, there's this item:

The Iranian regime slaughtered upwards of 500 protesters over the weekend, marking one of the bloodiest crackdowns in the Islamic Republic’s history, as President Donald Trump weighs a range of military options that reportedly include precision strikes on regime assets and cyber warfare. . . "Iran is looking at FREEDOM, perhaps like never before," Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on Saturday, his most recent comments on the matter. "The USA stands ready to help!!!" A State Department spokesman told the Free Beacon that the Trump administration is closely monitoring the uprising, adding that "the Iranian regime is fully aware of President Trump’s warning and should not test U.S. resolve." Asked about the regime’s threats to activate a global network of terror cells in response to the protests, the State Department said the Islamic Republic "should carefully consider the consequences of its actions and not underestimate the resolve of the United States under President Trump’s leadership."

While it certainly is a good thing to publicly back the Persian people in their struggle for liberation. Military action of course is fraught with problems and I certainly do not want any kind of massive (or even minimal) boots on the ground. If our intelligence and special ops capabilities can blind or otherwise help defang or neutralize any military forces/assets the Mullahs are still in control of, then why not deploy them. We've already pulverized their nuclear sites with absolute impunity so taking out military barracks and other installations should pose much less of a risk. And Iran's air defenses are essentially useless thanks to the Israeli air force obliterating them earlier last year in preparation for the follow-on attack on their nuke sites.

In regards to that bit about the regime's threats to activate a global network of terror actions, this happened over the weekend:

A U-Haul driver allegedly plowed into a massive crowd of protesters at an anti-Iran regime rally in Los Angeles on Sunday — injuring at least two people in a chaotic scene caught on video.

Authorities responded to the scene after the U-Haul truck drove into a sea of an estimated 3,000 people at the large demonstration in Westwood around 3:40 p.m. local time, an LAPD spokesperson told The Post.

The rental truck, which had the words “NO SHAH. NO REGIME. USA: DON’T REPEAT 1953. NO MULLAH” emblazoned on one side, was swarmed by protesters as tensions quickly escalated, according to harrowing footage obtained by KABC.

The truck had both pro-Iranian regime and anti-Iranian regimes on both its sides, police said. It is not immediately clear what pro-regime text was on the U-Haul.

Some of the scrawlings appeared to warn against the US’s involvement in Iran’s anti-regime demonstrations, where nearly 500 protesters have been killed. 

At least two people were injured in the chaos and suffered minor injuries, cops said. Both declined to be transported to the hospital, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.  One man was hit by the U-Haul and was treated for non-significant injuries by an ambulance on the scene, cops said. 

The driver, who has not yet been identified, was taken into custody, police confirmed. 

Officers at the scene were spotted pulling a man into custody from the truck as angered protesters reportedly tried to punch and hit him with flag poles, the outlet reported.

Footage circulating on social media captured protesters punching and shattering the windshield of the U-Haul as others screamed in fear at the speeding truck.

The driver was being treated in the hospital for unspecified injuries and will likely face attempted assault with a deadly weapon charges, officials said at a press conference on Sunday evening, according to KABC. 

Bill Essayli, the First Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California, wrote on X that the FBI is on the scene and will assist the LAPD in determining the motive of the driver. 

The incident remains under investigation.

As an aside, considering the mass exodus of however many normal people remain in California, I'd think there'd be a severe shortage of U-Haul trucks available . . .

Anyway, vehicles driven by terrorists. Why does that ring a bell? Oh, yeah, of course!

By now, most people have seen about six different angles of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent’s encounter with left-wing radical Renee Nicole Good, proving he was fully justified in using lethal force to stop her from bulldozing over innocent people.

Good was reportedly a member of an insurgency cell called “ICE Watch,” where she received training as a “warrior” to act against ICE agents conducting lawful enforcement operations against illegal aliens. . . But why are we just hearing about this domestic extremist group now? Why does it seem like law enforcement doesn’t know anything about the very active, well-funded, and mobile groups hellbent on obstruction at a minimum, and in many cases, violence? Vice President J.D. Vance addressed some of these concerns in a Thursday press conference, going after corporate media headlines that never mentioned Good’s use of her vehicle as a murder weapon. . .

Good was the mother of a 6-year-old, and the left-wing media will keep regurgitating that she was simply driving through the area after dropping her child off at school. But based on all the evidence, she was there for the sole purpose of obstructing ICE, as part of her duties to her insurgency cell. That reality reveals something more sinister, as Vance argued. . . Vance said something fairly revealing when answering a question about who is behind these terror networks: “It’s one of the things we’re going to have to figure out.” He then added:

When somebody throws a brick at an ICE agent, or somebody tries to run over an ICE agent, who paid for the brick and who told protesters to show up and engage in violent activity against our law enforcement officers? You see just with this most recent terrible incident in Minneapolis, you see friends of this woman’s or other people who are eyewitnesses saying basically that she was there to engage in obstruction of a legitimate law enforcement operation. How did she get there? How did she learn about this? There’s an entire network . . .


I'm not trying to connect the dots between Iran and what happened in Minneapolis. But, then again, look at who and what we are dealing with both abroad and at home. When you hear a chant of DEATH TO AMERICA it could just as easily be coming from the quad of Columbia University as it could from the campus at Teheran U. or 25 years ago from the rooftops of Jersey City as they passed out candy and ululated with orgasmic delight while watching the Twin Towers burn and collapse.

$9 billion Somalian Simoleons grifted from the Minnesota and US treasuries didn't just buy expensive cars, furs, jewelry and homes but much of it likely bought semtex, AK-47s and RPGs back home in Mogadishu that is fueling the anti-Christian bloodbath in the horn of Africa and across the continent. Regardless of whether the Mullahs in Tehran control Boko Haram in Nigeria and Al-Shabab in Somalia, their goals are the same. Global conquest by Jihad in the name of Islam.

It is no coincidence that the anti-American Democrat/Left while trying to beatify the clearly brainwashed woman who got herself killed by attempting to ram ICE agents in Minneapolis are also silent or worse when it comes to the Iranian people in their fight for freedom:

It should come as no surprise to anyone that the western media and western Left are not covering or supporting the Iranian protests for freedom. It is anathema for them to give a helping hand to such an ‘Islamophobic’ nightmare. What is transpiring in Iran is a dreadful nightmare for the Left – because it’s oxygen, blood-supply and identity are rooted in its alliance with communism, Islam and every other adversarial totalitarian monstrous genocidal death-cult.

What is transpiring in Iran is a revolution for individual rights, which the Left reviles and detests. It is a revolution against Islam, which the Left worships and adores – and yearns to submit to.

Iranian women are even burning their hijabs! Oh, the horror of it all. This is a horrifying nightmare for the Left, especially for leftist feminists in the West. Poor Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar and Sunny Hostin, what nightmarish sleepless nights they must be having. . . Beneath the leftist believer’s veneration of the despotic enemy lies one of his most powerful yearnings: to submit his whole being to a totalist entity. This psychological dynamic involves negative identification, whereby a person who has failed to identify positively with his own environment subjugates his individuality to a powerful, authoritarian entity, through which he vicariously experiences a feeling of power and purpose.. .

But wait, I thought Donald Trump was literally Hitler?! . . .

Judd Apatow at Golden Globe Awards: ‘We’re a Dictatorship Now’ . . .“There’s a good chance that some of you in this room voted for Trump. I won’t judge you, I won’t judge you. But God will,” he added.

Funny how Godless heathen Atheists always invoke and take the name of the Lord in vain. But if we truly were a dictatorship, surely Apatow would be sipping his tree bark soup through a straw into his wired shut jaw in the FEMA camp infirmary, nein?

I am so sick to death of these bastards, but cratering box office receipts and TV ratings I'll take as a positive sign that the Apatows of this world are on the wane.

God save the brave Persian people and may they see deliverance from their Islamic tormenters and have at least a chance to establish some sort of ordered and normal society where they can prosper and coexist peacefully (no, not like that cockamamie bumper sticker) with their neighbors and become the thriving nation they once were prior to 1979.

And I hope the brave ICE agent who stood his ground and took out a domestic terrorist is awarded some sort of citation for valor.

Have a great day.
