The Morning Report — 5/ 15/26

DAMBASS.jpg


Good morning kids. Considering what's going on in the world, and how it has a direct impact right here at home, this story seems to be fading away far too quickly.

Authorities reported a bomb at an Alabama dam that posed “an unprecedented threat” during routine repairs on Tuesday.

Mobile’s water and sewer agency alerted the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office after discovering a grenade-like improvised explosive device underwater at the federally designated Converse Reservoir dam, according to local media reports. The nearby Daphne Search and Rescue Team, Mobile Police Department (MPD), Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) and FBI bomb squad also responded to the scene.(RELATED: Trump DOJ Hits DC Pipe Bomb Suspect With Terror Charges)

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was also notified of the discovery.

The Converse Reservoir is a 3,600-acre lake that “is the source of all drinking water and most raw water” for the Mobile area, according to the Mobile Area Water and Sewer System (MAWSS).

Officials have not released information on anyone potentially responsible for placing the bomb or how it happened. The Gulf Coast Regional Maritime Response and Render-Safe Team retrieved and safely detonated the device, Advance Local reported. . .

. . . “This is an unprecedented threat, and we are fortunate that this device was discovered before it could cause serious damage to our water supply or harm to individuals,” MAWSS Director Bud McCrory said, NBC 15 reported. “We are grateful for the professionalism and competency of our law enforcement partners — as well as the quick thinking of our contractors and divers — in identifying this device and safely destroying it.”

Agencies are working to boost security around the dam, multiple outlets reported.

While this is indeed an "unprecedented threat," not to minimize the disaster that could have happened had the explosive detonated and the dam was actually breached, given our pre-Donald Trump non-existent border and immigration control, and the proclivities of our global adversaries/rivals and let's face it enemies, imagine a more sophisticated device planted at the base of Hoover Dam?

I suppose, that is I pray, that the security in and around the Dam and other highly sensitive sites would be extremely tight. And yet, experience should teach us that assuming this to be the case would be most unwise. And lest we forget, there are those among us who are not foreigners, by birth anyway, who seek our destruction for various and sundry ideological reasons.

The man accused of starting the Palisades fire, one of the costliest disasters in U.S. history, was motivated by a resentment for the rich and viewed Luigi Mangione, the suspect in the killing of UnitedHealthcare’s chief executive, as a Robin Hood-like figure, according to court documents detailing evidence gathered by federal prosecutors.

In a court brief filed last week, authorities say a forensic review of his computer showed Jonathan Rinderknecht searched “Free Luigi” and “reddit lets kill all billionaires” in December 2024.
Rinderknecht, 30, is accused of starting the Lachman fire in Pacific Palisades on Jan. 1, 2025, which smoldered underground for a week before exploding into the deadly Palisades fire.

I was thinking perhaps a whacko Red/Green enviro-communist, but anything that advances, in their twisted minds the cause of anti-Americanism and freedom is fair game. By any means necessary, right?

Also, Iran is on the verge of economic collapse with the regime not far behind it and Red China's economy and society are also not necessarily in tip-top shape either, despite the propaganda to the contrary... though certainly not nearly in as critical a condition as Iran. The latter have exported terrorism around the globe since Jimmy Carter midwifed them into the world 47 years ago, while China has followed the Soviet model of infiltrating our society to bring us down from within going back even farther. Mao's cultural revolution was not limited to the confines of China, as has been plainly evident for quite some time now.


“A police station operating in New York City at the direction of the Chinese government has been exposed, its sinister purpose disrupted, and its founder held accountable for blatantly disregarding the law and our country’s sovereignty.” – U.S. Attorney Joseph Nocella Jr. . . . Lu faces up to 10 years in prison for acting as an illegal foreign agent and an additional 20 years for obstruction of justice. His conviction underscores growing concerns about Chinese influence operations on U.S. soil. It also highlights the CCP’s global strategy to suppress dissent and exert its power far beyond its borders. On Tuesday, the National Pulse reported on Eileen Wang, the Democrat mayor of Arcadia, California, pleading guilty to acting as an illegal agent for the Chinese government.

Lest we forget Eric Swalwell, NYC pol Grace Meng, Dianne Feinstein's chauffeur the Confucius institute's on college campuses all over America and on and on. Not to mention the massive tracts of farmland as well as real estate abutting sensitive military installations and far too many Chinese nationals employed in our defense and tech sectors as well as research facilities, stealing our secrets.

And of course, unleashing germ warfare on us...

The recent indictment of former senior NIAID official David Morens has ripped the lid off the COVID-era corruption machine. Now, against the backdrop of the United States Senate investigation on COVID origins, North Carolina taxpayers and families also deserve to know whether their flagship public university played any role in the research that may have sparked the entire disaster. Ralph Baric, a world-renowned virologist at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, by all accounts collaborated for years with Shi Zhengli at China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology on bat coronaviruses capable of infecting humans. NIH grants under Anthony Fauci helped fund that work -- including controversial gain-of-function experiments that many experts now believe helped create the conditions for the pandemic.

As a state-supported institution -- with Chapel Hill as North Carolina’s flagship campus -- UNC owes its citizens full transparency. There are reports of public information requests being either ignored or stonewalled. Who was paid what, and why? Where did the money flow in from, and where did it finally land? What was the actual result of the research conducted in Chapel Hill -- a scientific breakthrough in a bottle, or harm to millions?
Leaving the investigation in the hands of the United States Senate is not enough.

And suddenly, we have an outbreak of the Hantavirus on a US-bound cruise ship, just as we may be on the verge of toppling Iran, boxing in the Red Chinese and maybe even toppling the Cuban communists and liberating that island gulag after 66 years. Our enemies abroad and especially in our midst can't have that, now can they. Not with two crucial elections in November and then 2028 in the balance...

On April 1, 2026, The MV Hondius, a Dutch-registered cruise ship, departed from Ushuaia, a city in southern Argentina. Between April 6 and April 28, a number of passengers became sick, with the first reported death on April 11. On May 2, an outbreak of hantavirus was officially reported to the World Health Organization (WHO). Hantavirus is carried by rodents and there are currently no targeted treatments or widely available vaccines. Consequently, the 18 American passengers have been put into quarantine. Sixteen of the passengers are being monitored at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, while the other two passengers are at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia. One of the passengers has been placed in biocontainment due to testing positive for the Andes virus, a hantavirus subtype. The passengers reportedly range from their late 20s to their 80s. Early symptoms typically include fatigue, fever, and muscle aches, especially in the larger muscles of the hips, thighs, and back. Hantavirus symptoms typically occur between one and eight weeks after exposure...

“The risk of hantavirus to the general public remains very, very low,” said Admiral Brian Christine, Assistant Secretary for Health at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

But the risk to Democrats, Leftists and globalists is existential, should they lose the next two elections.

Have a great weekend.
