The Morning Report — 6/ 22 /26

Good morning kids. Well the big story breaking later early depending which side of the pond you're on is that Keir Starmer has decided to call it quits as England's Prime Minister.

Sir Keir Starmer choked up as he announced his resignation as UK Prime Minister Monday – less than 2 years after the Labour Party stormed to a landslide general election win. Starmer, 63, set out a timetable to stand down after coming under mounting pressure following last month’s local elections, where the governing Labour Party lost over 1,000 seats.

The Prime Minister announced his intention to step down after admitting the Labour Party was questioning whether he could lead it into the next general election, which must be held before July 2029, just 23 months after leading his party to a landslide win. 

“I have heard the answer of my parliamentary party to that question, and I accept that answer with good grace,” Starmer said outside 10 Downing Street in London.

Every decision I’ve taken has been about putting the country I love first. That is why I will resign as leader of the Labour Party. I have spoken to His Majesty the King this morning to inform him of my decision.”

While I'm no expert, to say the least, on British politics but no doubt that one of the things that has led to Starmer's departure is the growing scandal of the Muslim rape crisis that has come to light especially over the last year or so. But shockingly Muslim men have been raping non-Muslim women and girls for decades!

This is something that’s also totally missed by the report’s focus on Islam as the main driving force behind the grooming: Pakistani Muslim men raping white British girls because they aren’t Muslim. In many cases, the Muslim identity of the men appears to be incidental to the grooming, and the kinship networks like the Kashmiri birādarī system that structure it predate conversion to Islam by centuries. Yes, some groomers do refer to the girls as kuffār—non-believers—and the justification is that of the wretched Quran verse “What the right hand possesses,” which says Muslim men can take sex slaves from among kuffār women, but it seems to be kinship, rather than religion, that gives these crimes their systematic and persistent character. Ultimately, though, this remains to be explored properly.

Rape is not a one-off crime committed here and there but it is a documented tool of warfare used by Muslims to conquer and subjugate nations and people once Islam becomes a dominant force politically and/or demographically aided and abetted by a cowed and submissive indigenous populace that refuses to defend itself from invasion and conquest, and as is the case of Britain and much of western Europe brought it willingly upon themselves for myriad cultural and historic reasons.

While Starmer is gone, is there really a chance that the English people will recognize the mortal danger they placed themselves in by allowing the socialists to rule essentially unchecked since the end of the Second World War, Churchill's sunset years and Maggie Thatcher notwithstanding.

The uprising in Belfast over the attempted public beheading of a man in broad daylight certainly gives one hope that people are indeed waking up at long last. Still, I'm hesitant to predict a sea change over there, knowing full well that despite being mugged by reality, Leftists/Democrats will lather rinse and repeat and continue to vote for their own destruction. Of course the societal and political pressure imposed by the globalist/political media cultural complex to bend the knee and surrender cannot be underestimated either. And in the UK there is now an official censorship regime where one can be hauled off and prosecuted for uttering anything critical against Islam, let alone even silently praying in front of an abortion mill.

And elsewhere the beat goes on with the Iran negotiations. Some are hailing Trump and Vance as brilliant masters of 11-dimension chess. . .

Regardless of the naysayers, neoconservatives, and progressive leftist shills using social and mainstream media to portray America as weak for the thousandth time, President Trump's Iran deal and the communication of the deal by Vice President JD Vance has been a masterclass in geopolitics and media dexterity. President Trump's preliminary MOU with Iran took pressure, pragmatism, forceful language, and a militaristic strategy to secure, but it was all worth it. The priority of using peace through strength, the ever-powerful Trumpist foreign policy mantra, proved yet again that President Trump is the best negotiator in modern American or world politics.

Using bombs to force conversation is certainly an option, but it ended up being the best solution for all sides of the war in Iran. While Obama's Iran deal funded radical Islamic terrorism and the spreading of Sharia Law throughout the globe, Trump's deal utilized tariffs, bombs, and blockades to bring Iran up the ramp and into 12 rounds with the 45th and 47th President of the United States.

. . . Sounds great, but others are claiming they've both been taken to the cleaners.

Trump Coulda Been a Contender -- The destruction of a legacy. . .

It’s one of the most justly celebrated moments in cinematic history. In Elia Kazan’s classic movie On the Waterfront (1954), the failed boxer Terry Malloy (Marlon Brando), who was forced to take a dive during the bout that could have established him as a possible challenger for the championship belt, says to his brother, who was in on the fix: “I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am.”

I was going to make the subtitle to this article “Instead of a bum which is what he is,” but it was just too painful. Trump isn’t a bum, and maybe, just maybe, he will eventually right the ship and get on with the business of making America great again. But showering billions on a regime whose leaders routinely scream “Death to America,” and pretending that the evil men who now control that regime are rational people with whom America can do business — that’s the behavior of one of the America-Lasters who has governed this unhappy land in recent decades, not that of the visionary who promised to take on and defeat those who were selling out our interests.

A number of good essays in the links that illustrate both sides of the argument. So, as the President himself is fond of saying, we'll just have to wait and see.

Have a good day,
