The Morning Report — 4/ 15/26

Good morning kids. As if, I suppose, you needed any reminder, today is tax day. if only you were a violent jihadist, illegal alien or legal immigrant from Somalia scamming us out of billions, you'd have it made in the shade and living the American dream just like our Founders intended. Exceptionalism indeed.

Exceptionally tolerant beyond all logic in tolerating "a long train of abuses 2.0). God bless and keep Donald Trump and his loyal/competent advisers for doing what they can to try and turn back the tide of a swamp the size and depth of every ocean on the planet. In spite of some setbacks and disappointments over his two terms, at the barest of bare minimums, his greatest accomplishment has been exposing the forces of darkness and evil of the Democrat-Left and Deep state out to not just destroy I'm but all of us, as he had so eloquently and perfectly stated almost from the moment he stepped off the golden Trump Tower escalator nearly six years ago.

Referring to an impeachment reversal, Dershowitz admitted, “It's never been done. I don't see any reason why it couldn't be done. Impeachment is a quasi-judicial procedure, whether you have to go back to Congress and ask them to expunge it or go to the courts.”Referring to the new exposure of the key source for the accusations, who met with top Democrat Adam Schiff before filing his complaint, Dershowitz added, “But I have to tell you one thing, history will expunge it already based on your work, because what you've done is you've created so much doubt about the credibility of the main accuser that it's hard for anybody to sit back now and say that was a just, a just impeachment, but I don't know that there's going to be any remedy. Maybe we should try to create one.”

And from the exceptionally all-too tolerant American people, we go to the exceptionally stupid people of Spain:

Spain’s Socialist Workers’ Party has authorized plans to grant amnesty to 500,000 illegal migrants in the country, authorities said.

Pedro Sanchez, Spain’s prime minister and general secretary of the Socialist Workers’ Party, said in an April 14 statement shared on X that the Council of Ministers would approve a move to grant amnesty to migrants. . . The move will provide amnesty to 500,000 illegal migrants and allow them to be formally integrated into the Spanish workforce, according to the BBC. The government will offer migrants a one-year renewable residence permit. Migrants seeking amnesty must apply between April 16 and the end of June. They must also prove they have been living in Spain for five months and have no criminal record, the outlet reported.

PS: Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants thinks all those colored dudes look alike: At least Barack was "clean and articulate, that's a storybook, man!"

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.

AMERICA & ISRAEL STRIKE IRAN!




• Tankers have already crossed the strait, including two Chinese-owned vessels: Rich Starry and Murlikishan, according to marinetraffic.com. The tankers weren’t violating the rules of the U.S. blockade because they did not come from an Iranian port, according to a statement made by U.S. Central Command on X, but the post didn’t say whether sanctioned ships would be stopped.

• The move came as Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron announced they will be co-hosting a Middle East summit in Paris on Friday to talk about a diplomatic solution to the Strait of Hormuz crisis.

• Meloni emphasized the importance of reopening the Strait of Hormuz for critical supplies, including fuel and fertilizers essential to Italy’s agricultural sector. Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani had earlier condemned Israeli attacks on UNIFIL troops, including Italians, and summoned Israel’s ambassador for an explanation. The suspension signals a shift in Italy’s relationship with Israel and comes after a decade of support for the country. It also reflects a broader European trend away from supporting Israel in the Middle East. Notably, Italy was also one of the European countries to obstruct the Trump administration from using air bases to conduct strikes on Iran, an operation coordinated alongside Israel.

• Host Martha MacCallum said, “There’s no indication that they didn’t cheat on that deal all the way through. There was no indication of that. And we don’t know that, because we weren’t allowed to do anywhere, any time inspections. So, it appears that they progressed and progressed and progressed on that program, until, now, we’ve got 900 pounds of highly-enriched uranium, a lot of which was happening during that period, that is the dust that President Trump is talking about right here.

• Windward, a maritime intelligence firm, said that as of Monday, 171 crude tankers were bound to the U.S. gulf coast, which is more than 50 percent above the typical monthly average. These numbers can fluctuate, but directionally it is clear that we are witnessing a surge in demand for American oil. Now, why would that be? It’s obvious to anyone who is even mildly observant that President Trump’s oil blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is the reason, and it is providing a massive opportunity for American industry — and for global peace.

• Yes, the poll found that the public is fairly evenly split when it comes to tax fairness. That’s hardly a surprise, given that Democrats spend every minute of every day claiming that the rich don’t pay their “fair share.” But the poll also found that 40% of adults believe their taxes are “much” or “somewhat” higher, while just 10% said they were either “somewhat” or “much” lower.

  EDUCATION, AND WHAT PASSES FOR IT

• On Sunday after the hearing on December 10, 2023, the Harvard Corporation and the Harvard Board of Overseers were slated to meet to determine the fate of Claudine Gay’s presidency after her atrocious testimony at our congressional hearing. The intensely secretive and opaque Harvard Corporation is chock-full of senior Obama administration officials. It was later reported by the New York Post that President Obama called the Harvard Corporation Board before their meeting to directly lobby and pressure them to keep Claudine Gay as president, to “keep the broader[Harvard] administration stable—including its composition.” Many of that “administration” were either former high-ranking Obama officials, including members of his cabinet, or prominent supporters and donors of President Obama. I was told directly from a Harvard Corporation board member that Obama shared that he felt it was important “not to give her [me] a win.” Again, no concern about Jewish students or the importance of combatting antisemitism, but the typical partisan demagoguery against an effective elected Republican standing up on a moral issue.

It would affect the security of Cuba, the United States, and of the region.” “If that happens, there will be fighting, and there will be a struggle, and we will defend ourselves, and if we need to die, we’ll die, because as our national anthem says, ‘Dying for the homeland is to live,’” he added.
