The Morning Report — 3/18/26

SMO-DEMS.jpg

Good morning kids. With a nod to Gil Scott-Heron . . .

it looks as if we almost lost Cleveland.


Residents across Northeast Ohio got a shock the morning of St. Patrick's Day. A bright fireball streaked across the sky around 9:00 a.m., visible in multiple states before a loud boom rattled homes from Cleveland into parts of Pennsylvania and New York. Windows shook, phones lit up, and, for a moment, people wondered if something far more serious had happened. The object started as a small asteroid about six feet wide, weighing close to seven tons, and entered Earth's atmosphere at more than 40,000 miles per hour. The fireball first became visible about 50 miles above Lake Erie near Lorain, traveling roughly 34 miles before breaking apart about 30 miles above Valley City in Medina County. The breakup produced the flash and the shockwave people felt on the ground. . . The energy released reached about 250 tons of TNT, which sounds large until you place it next to a historical benchmark. 

The Tunguska blast in Siberia in 1908 released between 10 and 15 megatons of energy. The difference isn't small: Tunguska was tens of thousands of times more powerful and flattened more than 800 square miles of forest. . .

. . . The fireball over Ohio didn't bring destruction, but it offered a clear reminder of what moves through space every day. A slightly larger object, a lower breakup point, or a different angle could've changed the story. Cleveland heard the boom and felt the shake, then went back to their day.

That outcome wasn't guaranteed. It was luck.

Depending upon how one considers what we here at the HQ refer to as the SMOD, the Sweet Meteor of Death, the aforementioned luck was either good or bad. In any case, wow. Forget about mining asteroids, if some egghead out there wanted to make a fast buck, figure out a way to weaponize asteroids to bring them down on Red China, Iran, Russia or whoever and then con the War Dept. or Sandia to give you a few hundred million to develop a prototype. It'd be the perfect cover for a first strike on an enemy that left no evidence.

Moving on from the Science FRICTION department to other things that rub the wrong way . . .

Like the National Counterterrorism Director Joe Kent whose letter of resignation was a transparent attack on President Trump and his almost total evisceration of the globalist America last/never foreign policy of Foggy Bottom/Langley et al.

99% of the time when a local politician goes national, turns out to be a squish or a quisling, there were warnings locally. And most of the time people at the national level didn’t pay attention. I remember trying to break through the social media bubble of everyone who enjoyed Chris Christie’s viral video takedowns to get out the message that he was a fraud, that he had actually implemented every liberal policy and was an Islamic apologist. For many people it didn’t sink in until that hurricane photo with Obama. For others it didn’t sink in until he stabbed Trump in the back. . . he got the counterterrorism job as some sort of consolation prize for losing elections.

But there were warnings that Joe Kent was not what he seemed to be when he first ran for office. Ex-CIAers who run for office should be treated with extra scrutiny. And Kent scrambled to explain why he was a registered Democrat who had voted for Bernie Sanders. His explanation that he was trying to help Trump win and sabotage Dems was fishy. . .

. . . Anyone talking about an alliance between the Left and the Right, dismissing MAGA and America First, is out to take down America. This is exactly what we used to call RINOs before they got smart and started trying to disguise themselves as MAGA. But in the end, they always out themselves. Kent sure did.

Long before this happened, we should have listened to the local conservatives.

Well, there's the stabbing in the back and then there's the full frontal assault.

Susan Rice, who played leading roles in the Obama and Biden administrations, has broken a Washington code of silence by threatening that anyone who plays ball with the Trump administration will suffer payback the next time Democrats take control.

‘When it comes to the elites, you know, the corporate interests, the law firms, the universities, the media, it’s not going to end well for them.’ ” she said on a podcast.

“They’re going to be held accountable by those who come in opposition to Trump and win at the ballot box,” Rice added. She is no stranger to dirty tricks, having been involved in the Obama administration’s spying on Trump’s 2016 White House campaign. As such, her threat marks yet another example of how the left preaches one thing and practices the opposite. It blames Trump for destroying historic norms despite how the last two Dem presidents abused their power for nakedly partisan purposes.

Meh, forget the IRGC, the greater threat to America comes from the DNC. Meh, this is nothing new. We've seen this tyranny before, with every shampeachment and every single time a rogue hack-in-black issues an injunction against this President's constitutional executive branch authority. It's all well and good to root for the freedom of the Persian people and the long suffering Cubans, but unless and until the cancer of Susan Rice and her ilk are excised from our society, it won't be long before we too go the way of Iran circa 1979 and Cuba 1959.

Have a great Day!

  • Michael Goodwin: Susan Rice, who played leading roles in the Obama and Biden juntas, has broken a Washington code of silence by threatening that anyone who plays ball with the Trump administration will suffer payback the next time Democrats take control. ‘When it comes to the elites, you know, the corporate interests, the law firms, the universities, the media, it’s not going to end well for them.’ ” she said on a podcast. (funny, those are all leftist institutions! Shorter Goodwin, Rice is an evil filthy subhuman shit-whore - jjs)
