The Morning Report — 7/ 30 /26

So Anthony the Mini-Mengele Fauci pleaded the Fifth more than Joe Valachi. Well he certainly has more victims than Valachi and the entire mafia in its bloody history combined. As commenter Paul G. wrote over at CJN yesterday:

As I currently watch the Dr. Fauci’stein hearings, I cannot help but think that this could be one of the largest crimes of humanity in history. I know that’s a long, far out analysis, but the breadth of outright lying by Dr. Fauci’stein, his funding of gain of function research outside the country, and then the cover up to shut down the world priming the U.S. CDC and NIH to be put under U.N. WHO control, thus surpassing our own Constitution. Fauci’stein’s personality, mental make-up, ability to outright lie to the world, let alone the American people and to become some kind of Hero of Science deliberately resulting in the death of millions. The murderer’s at the Nuremberg Trials I feel were more truthful than Dr. Fauci’stein. I don’t know where this leaves us, but a known mass killer will surely walk free and receive accolades and monetary awards for being one the Globalist’s flying monkey’s.

All too true, sir. given the corruption of our courts and the horribly effective propaganda machine of the media, Fauci will likely exit stage left, at least until another Democrat is elected or is otherwise installed into the White House as happened in 2020 and he will be brought back under much pomp and circumstance.

What a cowardly and shameful final chapter for Dr. Anthony Fauci, who pleaded the Fifth 111 times in the Senate Wednesday even though he has a pre-emptive presidential pardon that gives him immunity from prosecution.

In the history of Congress, only a couple of mob bosses have invoked the privilege more.

“On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer, based upon my rights, under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution,”

the Machiavellian career bureaucrat said over and over in the nearly three-hour hearing before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.

But Fauci’s silence rendered him a villain more powerfully than his usual sly deceptions.

Shameful, too, were the Democrats and their media handmaidens who continue to run cover for Fauci, singing his praises, and denying their flock the truth about a man who filled his pandemic ­diary with self-praise and celebrity worship while remaining callously aloof from the human suffering he had caused. . . What a cowardly and shameful final chapter for Dr. Anthony Fauci, who pleaded the Fifth 111 times in the Senate Wednesday even though he has a pre-emptive presidential pardon that gives him immunity from prosecution.

If there were any true justice in this world, his final chapter would end with him strapped into a gurney in the death house of a federal prison, and a doctor declaring him dead after being given a lethal injection.

Alas, this is America 2026 and as we all know too well, real justice from a judicial system that has been thoroughly corrupted as a weapon of political repression against any opponent of Leftism/Socialism/Globalism and the Democrat agenda is nigh impossible to get. What the future holds in that regard, whether we see a reversal of that in our lifetimes or at least the lifetime of those who have much of their lives in front of them is to be seen.

Elsewhere we have the ramping up of operations and the President's rhetoric against the Iranian regime. Well, you don't have to be Victor Davis Hanson to see this, as I've been screaming this the whole time, but he's more eloquent than I am for sure.

We know the tired Iranian strategy by now. We might call it “theocratic rope-a-dope.” For the theocrats and their terrorist proxies, survival means outlasting Trump, waiting for the next cash-laden Democrat administration, and using “moderates” to play good cop while haggling away months. The mullahs and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps feign indifference even as their half-century, half-trillion-dollar investments in what is now essentially a vaporized military-industrial-nuclear complex continue to be destroyed.

The war has finally revealed the full extent of Iran’s vast conventional arsenal, nuclear program, and missile and drone industry.

It's why after reading this item, I thought something stinks to high Heaven.

The ship that Ukraine struck in the Caspian Sea on Saturday [July 25] contained components for drones and missiles on their way to Iran, Ukrainian Ambassador to Israel Yevgen Korniychuk said in an interview with N12 on Sunday.

Iran claimed the ship was carrying civilian goods when it was attacked by Ukraine and accused Ukraine of seeking to expand the Russia-Ukraine war….

This stinks because yes for sure the Russians are in bed with the Iranians but also because it provides a mighty convenient excuse for those who have President Trump's ear to give military aid and assistance to Ukraine , which thankfully he has been loathe to do so far.

And worse than that with the situation with the Mullahs at an impasse, this item hints at potential American boots on the ground, which would be an unmitigated disaster for all the reasons I and others here and elsewhere have shrieked since the beginning.

The United States and Israel are considering some form of a land blockade to crank up the economic pressure on Iran as the war against the Islamic Republic enters its sixth month, the Washington Free Beacon can report. The land blockade would complement the sea blockade that's been in effect for some time.

"What if you just block the land? Suppose Iran can't bring anything in, cannot take anything out," a senior Israeli official told the Free Beacon—raising one possibility the two countries have been discussing.

Great, Ho Chi Minh Trail 2, let's drag in the Chi-Coms boogaloo! (who as was reported last week were supplying Iran
