The Morning Report — 1/22/26

Good morning kids. As someone who has written professionally for many years, including books, screenplays and editorials, I can honestly say that one thing I am particularly proud of is, believe it or not, a single word! Chutzpocrisy For the sake of those who are not regular readers of this column, it is a mashup of the Yiddish word "chutzpah" which means gall and the English word hypocrisy.

Given the nature of the Democrat/Left insofar as who and what they are and what they have done to our nation and society, more and more with each passing year if not week or day, the things that they do and say are so perfectly encapsulated in that word. Today's example comes from a particularly loathsome bastard, one Hakeem Jeffries.

On Wednesday’s broadcast of MS NOW’s “Morning Joe,” House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) commented on the possibility of a government shutdown over ICE by saying that, among “things that we believe are appropriate in this instance, are demanding be part of any final bill,” would be a requirement that “ICE should not be able to storm houses of worship, hospitals, and schools.”

The unmitigated chutzpocrisy of this radioactive glittering turd is so unbearable that even Ray Charles wearing iridium-coated Raybans could feel a searing pain in his eye sockets were he watching from the surface of a supernova 5 billion light years from earth,

Storming houses of Worship, hospitals and schools?! Not even a single peep when Don Lemon who might have organized and led a band of "agitators" and stormed into a Minneapolis church over the weekend to "protest" ICE's rounding up of criminal illegal aliens in that city in particular and all over the nation in general. Ditto the raking of police stations with gunfire as well as synagogues and religious schools with little children in them.

The words "agitators" and "protest are in quotes because this was an act of dictionary and legal definition terrorism carried out by terrorists. Irrespective of the fact that this might have been the church where the priest was identified as supposedly being in the employ or otherwise working with ICE, the act of violently and loudly bursting into a church during a service to shriek at the parishioners is beyond abhorrent. It is straight up evil.

Asking Hakeem Jeffries what he thinks of this is a waste of breath. His silence speaks volumes. He like all the other demonic vermin in the coven known as the Democrat party are cheering this on.

Well, there's terrorism, there's state-sponsored terrorism and then there's this!

Gov. JB Pritzker, in a statement, said the allegations “raise serious concerns for people struggling to maintain housing — and the communities that have been profiled and relentlessly targeted by the federal government during its violent immigration enforcement operations. State law prohibits discrimination, and that includes aiding or abetting conduct intended to interfere with housing and civil rights. Illinois will not tolerate conduct that puts anyone in Illinois at risk of discrimination or harm.”

To be clear about what’s going on here, the Pritzker regime in Illinois has decided to define cooperation with federal law enforcement as a form of illegal discriminatory conduct that it can penalize.

After demonstrating that landlords can be penalized for tipping off ICE, then it’ll be the turn of other small businesses, and then finally cooperating with ICE will be deemed a ‘hate crime’.

Meh. This is from the same people who created the Garland Archipelago and rounded up anyone who was within 5 miles of the Capitol on January 6th 2021 for the crime of protesting the election the Democrats stole. Just as no Democrats will ever face justice let alone go to prison for all their crimes, you can bet that this landlord is going to be sent straight to Joliet Prison courtesy of a rigged prosecutor, Judge and jury. The message is now loud and clear, the Democrats now run Barter Town, they have proclaimed themselves Master/Blaster and Aunty Entity rolled into one. Defy them and one way or another it's (finger across neck in slicing motion).

Frey said, “In Minneapolis, we will not cooperate with ICE or any federal agency around immigration enforcement work, we will not. And there’s a good reason, by the way, that we won’t, and it’s not just the moral imperative here, it’s also the fact that I want our police officers focusing on safety.”

If Jacob Frey is not arrested and charged with insurrection, and the Insurrection Act invoked, then the next church that is targeted by Leftists will have parishioners shot to ribbons.

As CBD and I discussed on the latest episode of the podcast, linked here and in the sidebar as well as at the usual outlets listed at the bottom of this post, every decent God-fearing American, arm yourself to the teeth and carry when you go to church or synagogue.

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.

• The moment came during Wednesday’s Supreme Court oral arguments in Trump v. Cook, which centers around a request brought by the Trump administration to pause a lower court injunction preventing Cook’s removal.

• On Wednesday, the Supreme Court heard arguments in Trump v. Cook, the case testing whether President Trump can fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook based on allegations of mortgage fraud. Justice Brett Kavanaugh expressed concern that granting the president too much deference in removal decisions would effectively create at-will firing authority, rendering the Federal Reserve Act’s “for cause” requirement meaningless. But Kavanaugh’s worry overlooks the law’s actual check on presidential abuse: the Senate confirmation process.
