The Morning Report — 3/13/26

Good morning kids. Let's see, first a potential Islamikaze car bombing of a synagogue and then a mass shooting at Old Dominion University but let's not blow this out of proportion.

So we’ve got a known ISIS terrorist from Sierra Leone and a Lebanese Muslim terrorist, who had this stuff all over his social media, who were both able to get citizenship, remain in this country and plot their attacks. And much of our political elite is still demanding that we keep allowing the Muslim mass migration to continue. Two attacks in one day is a wake-up call. The latest one. It shows how many Muslim terrorists we have in this country. What more are we waiting for? 3 attacks in one day? 4? When does it get to be enough?

Not until we fully appreciate to glories of cultural enrichment, racists!

Not sure about you, but I’m noticing a pattern, and the groupings of violent attacks by date are getting closer and closer together, and more violent. Something tells me this won’t end on its own. 

The worse it gets, and the more obvious the pattern, the harder the left is working to make “Islamophobia” the issue, not the fact that radical Islamists are a very real threat to Americans on our soil right now. 

Let's not lose our heads over this. Oh, wait a minute. It's just Friday the 13th. Triskaidekaphobia sufferers I feel for you but, your fear of a 13-sided Sandy Duncan* is irrational. Islam and Leftism on the other hand...

*Triscuit reference, Oh never mind.

Have a great weekend!

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.

  ACTUAL SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY

• Using data from a number of orbiting space telescopes, astronomers think they have detected the collision of two exoplanets, producing debris that for about 200 days variably blocked the light from the system’s star.
  Have astronomers spotted the collision of two exoplanets around a Sunlike star? (George Pal was prescient? - jjs)
  
• The question astronomers will try to answer with this telescope is whether the solar activity on these stars is high enough to prevent life from forming in the star’s habitable zone. Because these stars are dim and small, the habitable zone is quite close to the star, which means solar activity has a higher impact on the planet. We don’t yet have sufficient data to determine the normal activity of such stars. Sparcs will provide a good first survey.
