The Morning Report — 3/25/26

Good morning kids. And so, 3,000 Paras from the 82nd Airborne are on their way to the Middle East. Maybe instead we could airdrop 3,000 D-Day era "Ruperts" to confront Cardboard cutout IRGC cadres?!

Gevalt.

Anyway, today it's all about priorities. Over the years I've come to the sobering realization that the chant of "Death to America" was not invented in Tehran, but the Mullhas stole it from the Democrats!

There are only so many ways Democrats can spell out, in the most explicit possible terms, what they plan to do if and when they retake control of the federal government. They’ve spent the last year celebrating the murder of conservatives, raising hell over the most basic voter-ID laws imaginable, and most recently, sabotaging the nation’s airports in order to prevent ICE from doing its job — a plan that may very well work, given that Republicans seem interested in caving at the moment, once again. In short, Democrats are preparing a government that would treat Americans as foreigners in their own country. But just in case their plan somehow wasn’t obvious, here’s Senator Chris Murphy, the Democrat from Connecticut, to spell it out. 

It’s the “undocumented Americans” that Democrats “care about most,” according to Chris Murphy. Yes, “undocumented Americans.” Simply by virtue of entering this country — illegally, in almost every case — these people become Americans, according to one of the leaders of the Democrat Party. And more than that — they become the most important Americans of all. Democrats will prioritize their interests over the interests of you and your family. And they won’t even pretend otherwise.

That interview aired in the final months of Joe Biden’s presidency. It’s only recently surfaced on social media, and for good reason. Democrats are now clearly preparing to wage an all-out war on Americans if they retake Congress and the White House. They’re planning a campaign of retribution against conservatives that will make the Biden years look tame by comparison.

This isn’t a guess. They’re saying it openly, in a variety of different contexts. In some cases, they’re rewriting history to justify the purge that they’re planning. Now, it probably won’t come as a surprise to anyone to hear that I believe it’s very important to study history — not the propaganda you’re taught in public schools, but actual history. We talk about various historical topics on the show all the time. . . So here’s a very transparent example of what this means, in practice. Late last week, The New Republic — which is one of those outlets on the Left that claims to be highly intellectual, like the Atlantic — outlined an elaborate plan to harass and imprison Donald Trump and his advisers, once Trump leaves office. This is the Left’s new-and-improved game plan for a new wave of lawfare against Donald Trump. Instead of talking about ways to improve the lives of American citizens, they’re still fixated on retribution. . .

. . . What we’re witnessing here is the launch of what Democrats are calling “Project 2029,” after the infamous Project 2025 that became an instant obsession on the Left. . . after losing the presidency in large part because of their lawfare — they’re not simply doubling down. They’re openly admitting that, in their next campaign of retribution, they aren’t even going to use a pretext. They’re just going to throw people in prison — or worse.

But, as the saying goes, it takes two to tango, and with that I give you a potential rope that our own alleged party will sell, or that is give the Democrats to hang us with!

House Republican leaders pushed a vote on extending FISA warrantless surveillance to April after many Republicans spoke up against it.

Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) expires on April 20. It allows the government to spy on a foreign national suspected of having ties to terrorism.

The government can spy on a foreign national even if an American citizen is on the other end of the communications without a warrant (emphasis mine):

Although the law requires the government to direct this surveillance at people outside the United States, in practice, it routinely ensnares Americans.

So the Grifting Oleaginous Parasite GOP will go to the mattresses for this, but something like the SAVE Act? Not so much. Bastards.

If Obamacare Passed via Reconciliation, Why Can’t the SAVE America Act? . . .

There's always a double standard at the heart of Washington, and Republicans never seem to benefit from it, just Democrats. I can’t seem to understand why. DHS has now been shut down for over a month, and a deal is supposedly taking shape. Senate Democrats, after weeks of obstruction, reportedly appear willing to accept funding for most of the department, so long as ICE's migrant removal operations get carved out. Republicans are eyeing a two-step strategy: fund most of DHS through a bipartisan deal, then use a separate reconciliation bill to backfill ICE enforcement funding and advance key provisions of the SAVE America Act — voter ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements to register to vote.

Margh Bar Amrika! in Farsi or in the case of Pritzker, Mars Bars >>>America!

Gov. JB Pritzker’s office offered “thoughts” — no prayers — for the Gorman family, friends, and the “Loyola University community grieving the senseless murder of Sheridan Gorman.”

. . . The “heinous tragedies” are piling up thanks to the rotund leftist governor’s political resistance to federal immigration law enforcement. 

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.
