The Morning Report — 5/ 14/26

Good morning kids. I will try to be charitable this morning by asking the simple question, is this guy deaf, dumb, blind and clueless or worse, a miserable collaborationist Quisling?! I don't live in South Carolina so I don't know this guy's record. But given the blast of infernal heat that this nation has endured for generations, regardless there is just no fucking excuse!

State Sen. Shane Massey's (R-NC) first time talking to the president came last week when Trump called him to discuss how he wanted the redistricting to happen, the New York Times reported. The Republican leader of South Carolina's state Senate defied President Donald Trump and voted against a redistricting effort that could have slashed the state's only Democrat-led congressional district, arguing that "South Carolina is stronger when we have a vibrant Democratic Party." Contrary to Trump's wishes, Massey joined four other Republicans in voting against the proposal that would have allowed for the Senate to reconvene later this month for a redistricting effort.

As a complete aside, regardless of the spelling, just what the hell is it with people named Massey, (the late great thespian Raymond, notwithstanding)?!
I am of course referring to RINO sex-pest Tom from Kentucky.

Shane, the fucking problem and the reason that this nation is a red nether hair's breadth from plunging headlong into the abyss is because it has had to endure the very same "Vibrant" Democrat party and the fires of hell it has unleashed on us going back almost to the founding. In what insane version of reality is South Carolina better with James Clyburn anywhere within 10 billion light years from the levers of power? Ditto his entire party.

And a hearty fuck you to this loathsome turd of a RINO too:

Republican Governor Tate Reeves has suggested that Mississippi will not redraw its congressional maps before the 2026 midterms.

I suppose Tate Reeves and Shame, er ShaneMassey think Germany in 1933 was much more vibrant with the Nazis, eh fellas?!

And here we are nearly 100 years later and we've got vibrancy out the wazoo!!!

On the whole right now I'd rather NOT be in Philadelphia. . .

A Pennsylvania House candidate endorsed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.), Rep. Ro Khanna (D., Calif.), Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D., Md.), and other leading far-left figures has hailed notorious cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal as one of several "Black freedom fighters" and "elderly political prisoners" and called for his release from prison.

Chris Rabb (D.), a five-term Pennsylvania state representative running to represent the state's Third Congressional District, cosigned a letter from the Philadelphia Democratic Socialists of America last month urging Gov. Josh Shapiro (D.) to free the 71-year-old Abu-Jamal from prison, where the former Black Panther is serving a life sentence for the 1981 murder of Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner.

If Shapiro wants to burnish his prospects for the Democrat nomination in '28, dim as they are being white, male, non-homo, and mostly Jewish by birth, he will find some flimsy excuse to cut this animal loose. If they can steal a national election and create the Russia collusion hoax, surely they can fake exculpatory evidence. Be that as it may, the problem is in not recognizing who and what the enemy is, and our worst enemy is right in our midst.

On a positive note, it was rather nice to see Chip Roy, whose record at least from what I have seen over the years has been spotty at best, come out with this statement:

Roy laid out Islam's growing foothold across the globe, including his home state of Texas, which has seen a surge in Muslim immigration and Islamic communities. . . "Over the past few years, Shariah-based legal institutions have taken root in American communities, and nowhere is this problem worse than in my home state of Texas," Roy said during the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Constitution and Limited Government hearing.

Wow, bravo Chip Roy who absolutely gets it. That said the term Islamism is a dodge and camouflage. It's ISLAM, period full stop. Islamism perpetuates the lie that Islam itself is benign and only fringe elements are insane terrorists. That is of course a dangerous myth. I suppose to go full Robert Spencer and call it out for what it is would have been too much insofar as inviting the usual suspects to shout racist, Islamophobia, Xenophobia, etc. ad nauseam and be politically within third rail territory. Still, this is about as close to calling the proverbial spade a spade as I have yet to see any real American politician, declare. So at least it's something.

On another bright note, to compare and contrast with the aforementioned RINO flunky sellouts, CBD and I had a fantastic conversation on the latest episode of the podcast with friend of the blog and now FRIEND Jeffrey Carter, a bright, outstanding patriot who is running for the office of Treasurer of the state of Nevada.
Linked here and in the sidebar and at the usual outlets listed at the bottom of the post.

If we had more Jeff Carters running, and please God, winning, perhaps the term RINO would become extinct and then before long, Democrats along with them! Support Jeff Carter at Jefcarternv.com

On these positive notes, I hope you all . . .

Have a good day.
