The Morning Report — 4/1/26

Good morning kids. Lots of things happening, and ground to cover this morning. First to Iran where President Trump is making lots of things go boom including the heads of Leftists and miscreants. But in Iran:

Writing in Ynet on Tuesday, Israeli military analyst Ron Ben-Yishai — a veteran Yediot Ahronot correspondent and Israel Prize recipient — assessed that the strike reflects a deliberate U.S. effort to neutralize Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile by entombing it beneath rock, soil, and collapsed tunnel infrastructure rather than attempting to remove it by force.

Perhaps this was the plan all along and the deployment of several thousand US troops to or near the theatre was a big head-fake. Iran's nuclear program was always the prime if not sole reason why the President decided to attack, with regime change or as it stands the chance for regime change an enticing side benefit.

With the Strait of Hormuz effectively closed, the pressure on the global economy as the free flow of Middle Eastern oil is severely hampered is tremendous, to say nothing of the political pressure as gas prices rise as a crucial midterm election season kicks into high gear.

President Donald Trump said Tuesday that Operation Epic Fury in Iran will come to an end in the next two or three weeks, or perhaps even sooner.

If the reports of Iran's enriched Uranium stockpile being buried forever are accurate, that is certainly a very good thing. And assuming their centrifuges are now also a pile of rubble and their nuclear and rocket scientists now so much moldering worm food, the odds of them being able to reconstitue what they once had, certainly in the near term are low. But, can we really breathe a sigh of relief if even a shadow of the Mullahocracy is allowed to take the reins of power. We are after all dealing not only with a 47-year old regime but with a 1500-year old ideology spanning the globe that seeks to conquer it and make it Planet Islam.

Yes, regime change is a good thing, But regime change begins at home!

The apparent eagerness of Trump to make a deal with Iran, leaving in place the current regime, has left many Iranians feeling deceived and disappointed. They are particularly alarmed that his mediators have been talking to the speaker of Iran’s parliament, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf. More on Ghalibaf can be found here: “Iranians feel ‘deceived, abandoned’ as Trump weighs striking deal with Iran’s old guard,” by Omid Habibinia, The Media Line, March 25, 2026 . . .

Well, dear Persians, my message to you is put your own asses on the line. We've done more than enough heavy lifting already. The rest is up to you. What's better, living on your knees of dying on your feet?! I hope it doesn't come to that for you and every innocent decent person, but the ball is in your court.

And speaking of regime change beginning at home as well as President Donald Trump, he has done more to change the regime of business as usual here at home than any President since Reagan and Coolidge. Certainly more than the GOP that has been stabbing him in the back at almost every turn. For example:

President Donald Trump on Tuesday evening signed an executive order focused on election integrity, including a measure to ensure that mail-in ballots are sent to eligible voters and returned by them. Trump signed the order in the Oval Office while flanked by White House staff secretary Will Scharf and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick . . . “We’re going to take federal data, we’re going to ensure that each state’s election officials are provided with a comprehensive view of who the eligible voters in their jurisdiction actually are, allowing them to properly verify that everybody voting in their elections is legally able to vote,’ Scharf said of the first measure.

No doubt the lawsuits and phony injunctions from Justices Buch M. Danno and Mac A. Damia will be forthcoming. But still. At least we at long last have a real leader putting his ass on the line, unlike the GOP that is doing jack shit and worse, doing what they can to sabotage the efforts.

And speaking of literally leading from the front:

President Trump to Attend SCOTUS Oral Arguments on Birthright Citizenship. . . Soon after taking office last year, Trump signed an executive order to end birthright citizenship for the U.S.-born children of illegal aliens and foreign tourists, often referred to as “anchor babies” as they anchor their parents permanently in the U.S. and can sponsor their immediate relatives for green cards once they become of legal age.

Wow. I'm no presidential historian but I think this is unprecedented. That said, I know of no rule that forbids Trump from sitting in on the SCOTUS session, especially since he himself, or his policy, is one of the parties in the case.

My first reaction is perhaps politically it's not such a great move as it gives the Leftists a potential talking point to attack him as a tyrant/Hitler intimidating the judiciary or some such rot. Then again, it brings the issue of the madness of the birthright citizenship abomination into the public discourse, alongside the madness of illegal aliens and election non-integrity that illegal aliens voting is a huge part of.

God bless and keep President Trump. Say what you will, but this is what I voted for. LEGALLY three times. One vote in each of three elections, for the record.

And if none of this is interesting enough, we have Muslim boys molesting girl mannequins for your April Fool's entertainment.

And to my fellow Jews and really to all of you, I send Passover greetings and wishes for a Ziessen Pesach and may the angel of death pass over you and pay a nice long visit to all our enemies, wherever they lurk. May they be thwarted, defeated and their legacy of dissolution and destruction be eradicated and expunged for all time.

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.
