The Morning Report — 7/ 29 /26

Good morning kids. Lots of news to unpack this morning, especially the thoroughly unsurprising yet utterly disgusting revelations about Anthony Fauci courtesy of his little red book, that is his diary. It is not hyperbole to state that he has the blood of tens if not hundreds of thousands of people on his hands because of his direct actions in creating the COVID-19 virus for the Red Chinese and then unleashing it on the world in a lab that was in whole or in part funded by our taxpayer dollars. This horrid bastard will for sure be roasting in Hell one day, but likely will be untouched by our justice system, such as it is.

As it turns out, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) is good for something after all. 

Just to recap, Paul obtained and released more than 1,100 pages of the private diaries Fauci kept between 2019 and 2022 as part of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee’s investigation into the federal government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic. You've probably seen by now that they contained a lot of Fauci fawning over himself and tracking his own celebrity, awards, and media coverage, as well as him saying some not so nice things about his critics.. . Then-Sen. Rubio was quite critical of many of Fauci's statements back then, particularly saying that there was no need for people to go around wearing masks. He also accused Fauci of distorting the percentage of the population that would require vaccinations to reach herd immunity.  Fauci's response? He said he was being a "real a*****e."

Speaking of Marco Rubio, Democrat election thievery as well as Democrat-fomented assassination attempts and political terrrorism notwithstanding, I think Marco Rubio stands a pretty good chance at becoming POTUS if not in this go round then perhaps 2032 or afterwards. His tenure as Secretary of State has been outstanding, the situation in Iran notwithstanding, although that situation really is on President Trump, and it is his to resolve despite the fact that he's dealing with dark age savages intent on unleashing armageddon on the world as the precursor to total Islamic conquest of the planet,

But as for Rubio, under the aegis of Trump, he is on the cutting edge of helping transform the perpetually socialist Latin America into free-market America friendly nations. And as CBD and I discussed on the latest episode of the podcast (linked here and in the sidebar)

Cuba might at long last be on the verge of if not at the very least have a shot at liberating itself as the tropical paradise caribbean gulag that it has been condemned to suffer for 67 years. It seems that Rubio and Trump are making the moves to see that come to fruition.

The truth is it's a complicated process. This isn't Venezuela. We likely won't have a clean and tidy(-ish) ending to the regime. You can't just take out one guy, neutralize his cronies, cut off their revenue stream, and start over with Marco Rubio in charge. The Cuban regime is older, more decentralized, and designed to withstand such moves. The power lies within the Communist Party, the military’s economic empire (GAESA), and a deep security apparatus.

There's also the media problem. The number of MSM fake news stories from anonymous sources about Cuba is exhausting, and it drives me insane how many prominent people report on them or share them as if they are fact.  For example, for a while, there was this idea that the Trump administration's goal for liberating Cuba was the end of this year. It was fun to buy into, and I didn't find it all that outlandish pre-Iran, but Rubio put a stop to that kind of talk last week when speaking to the press.

Well, as the President himself is wont to say, we'll just have to wait and see. Look how far we've come from "Little Marco" to perhaps being his most trusted and effective ally.

As for Iran, this just underscores who and what we're dealing with.

Both men were convicted on charges stemming from clashes that Iranian authorities say resulted in the deaths of four security officers. Human rights groups say the men were sentenced after proceedings marred by allegations of torture, forced confessions, and closed-door trials. 

The executions stem from the nationwide uprising that began in late December after a currency collapse, soaring inflation, and worsening living conditions sparked protests across Iran. Iranian regime forces responded with a sweeping crackdown that included internet shutdowns, mass arrests, and the widespread use of lethal force. . . Videos shared by Iran International showed residents gathering overnight in hopes of stopping the executions before authorities dispersed the crowd. 

We've long hoped and prayed that something might ignite the spark that at long last lets the Iranian people take to the streets and directly take on the regime, or gives those within the security services the ability to turn on their overlords and join the people.

At this point, it's a pipe dream but that's what the Ceaucescus thought as they were hoisted up on a lamp post not all that long ago.

And who knew that Mick Jagger and Keith Richards were Mullahs (here they whip the women round about midnight)...

¡Cuba Libre, Iran Libre!

And most importantly AMERICA LIBRE!!!!!!

You’d think socialism’s 100-plus-year record of failure would be enough to dissuade people from embracing tenets that led to the horrors of Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, etc. But hope springs eternal, apparently.

(And, just for the record, despite what Bernie Sanders says, the Nordic countries are not socialist. Denmark, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Norway come in seventh, eighth, 10th, and 11th, respectively, in the Heritage Foundation’s Index of Economic Freedom. Switzerland comes in second place. The U.S. ranks 22nd.)

What’s even more unfathomable is why Democrats have such a positive view of the DSA when they reject many of its central positions.

Have a good day,

• The survey underscores broad public backing for election integrity measures. These findings make congressional Democrat obstruction of the SAVE America Act in Congress even less tenable, considering that a clear majority of the party’s supporters back election integrity measures, including voter ID. This is likely to reinforce the President’s argument that congressional Democrats only oppose the Act because it would hurt their chances of getting elected via fraud.
