The Morning Report — 7/ 27 /26

Good morning kids.

If the assassination attempts on President Trump, on top of the slaughter of Charlie Kirk, United Healthcare CEO Brian Thomspon, the organized and disorganized terrorism of Anti-ICE/police Goon Squads and of course the martyrdom of Ashli Babbitt and Roseanne Boyland and the judicial persecution of other January 6th protesters, pro-life protesters and school board members daring to defy/criticize the mind and body raping of their children in the schools . . .

In a case of queer overreach so extreme that even the far-left Denver Public Schools board was forced to act, a lesbian-identifying Colorado teacher was fired this spring after repeatedly pressuring students to kiss same-sex classmates during supposedly instructional classroom skits. Teacher Jennifer Honka was employed for the past eight years to teach French Language and Culture at Northeast Early College (NEC), a high school which is part of the Denver Public Schools district.

Then certainly this story surely is a warning that we are not only on the road to Hell but in the express lane.

Our First Amendment free speech rights aren't there to protect speech we all agree with, it's to protect the speech we don't. A classic, liberal free speech position is that you respect the right to free speech, especially when that speech reflects views you despise. That's what the principle means, it means upholding the right to free speech for your opponents, not just for those with views you are allied with. . . But a new case in Minnesota appears to have violated the free speech rights of a mom who said a bad word. There are no hate speech laws in the United States. Saying mean words is absolutely not a criminal offense. Other nations have hate speech laws, but they have absolutely no place in these United States.  This Minnesota court has come up with a workaround. And the jury deliberated for over nine hours. In his closing arguments, her attorney Brian Karalus said, "The state of Minnesota has decided to prosecute Ms. Hendrix for language," and that's exactly what happened. We can all oppose calling people the n-word, but that doesn't make the speech a crime.

Wait, courts, judges, prosecutors and worst of all jurors literally inventing laws out of whole cloth and using them to convict an innocent person?!

Meh, this is who and what leftists are and no doubt if God-forbid they do gain absolute control of this nation, we are well and truly screwed.

On this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday,” Democratic Socialists of America co-chair Megan Romer defended their proposals to abolish Senate, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and prisons.

If you think this is merely hyperbole, think again. I take these evil fiends at their word. To ignore, dismiss or laugh at them is a grave error. Or a MASS grave error because that is what they have in mind for us.

Have a good day,

• Get-out-the-vote warrior Scott Presler triggered the upset in the Senate by begging one senator — any senator — to request a roll call vote and force senators to go on the record about the SAVE America Act before the recess. This action is in accord with Senate rules and is based on Article I, Section 5, Clause 3 of the U.S. Constitution. Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) responded to Presler by offering to take up the challenge, and then notified Thune, "I hereby object to any effort to put the Senate into recess in August—at least until such time as the Senate has passed the SAVE America Act—and hereby request a roll call vote."
