The Morning Report — 9/ 21 /26

Good morning kids.

First of all I want to wish all our Jewish friends a blessed Yom Kippur and may you all be inscribed in the book of Life for a year of health, happiness and prosperity and I extend these wishes to all of you. Instead of wishing damnation to our enemies I think it appropriate that the Lord open the eyes and minds to those who are working to sow the seeds of our destruction, so that their souls can be redeemed.

With that taken care of let's get down to cases, shall we? For today, Grease is the word, a large reeking turd that answers to Newsom. For quite some time it was likely that he was going to seek the Democrat party nomination for the top of the ticket in 2028. For me this all but seals the deal. Nothing appeals to an evil party of tyranny, dissolution and death quite like fomenting insurrection!

California previously got away with blocking cooperation with federal law enforcement on immigration, including by threatening local law enforcement with penalties for cooperating with federal law enforcement. This secessionist stuff is now being boosted by also blocking cooperation with federal election oversight. Passing state laws to block federal investigations is creeping rather close to a Fort Sumter moment, but Gov. Gavin Newsom and the Dem supermajority decided to bypass creeping towards Fort Sumter and went right to racing towards it because this fourth bill takes the treason cake. This new law gives the Governor — as commander in chief of California’s militia — a defined role in determining when out-of-state military forces may enter California for state missions.

The new law prohibits military personnel from another state, territory, or the District of Columbia from entering California to perform military duty or law-enforcement functions without the permission of the Governor. The bill preserves an exception for forces lawfully called into active federal service under Title 10 and acting under the authority of the President or Secretary of Defense. Passing laws like this seems utterly senseless unless a state is preparing to resist federal authority using military force.

Two Quick questions for this greasy bastard, first how many U.S. army, navy, air force and marine corps bases are on California soil that are manned and ready to roll. And how many soldiers, sailors and airmen comprise the California armed forces?

Time to nationalize/federalize all California polling places and call out the Army to guard them while preventing any and all wetbacks from casting a ballot. ICE should be sent in force to California.

Then again, We have to deal with this madness in what is the anti-California. Then again Austin is essentially a bedroom community of Pacific Heights and Oakland...

Protests broke out in the Texas Capital City on Sunday after an ICE officer reportedly shot a fleeing illegal alien. According to the Austin police chief, City Councilman Mike Siefel made false allegations about the circumstances, saying the ICE officer fired five times through the car’s windshield. Facts surrounding the shooting remain under investigation.

Of course the Democrats have done all they can over the years to try and flip the Lone Star State, mostly failing miserably, Austin notwithstanding. But this time around they are pinning their hopes on this James Talarico fiend to help them steal a seat in the Senate.

Down in the backwater leftist stronghold of Austin, Texas, Talarico is selling progressive politics with a halo. He has shamelessly transformed Jesus into a mouthpiece for leftist progressivism. But that same feeling that we used to get when we watched the PTL Club pervades his aura. I have to hand it to American Protestantism; despite its amazing versatility, it can still make you feel dirty, cheap, and used.

And while we're on the subject of stealing elections.

The Justice Department has charged 16 people across several states with alleged illegal voting, voter registration violations and other election-related crimes, including cases involving noncitizens accused of casting ballots in federal elections. Eight noncitizens residing in Texas were charged, while other defendants face cases in Idaho, Georgia, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, New Jersey and Michigan. “Let this be a warning to ANYONE trying to cheat and undermine our elections,” DOJ wrote on social media. “Spread the word!” The allegations include noncitizens voting in federal elections, falsely claiming U.S. citizenship to register or vote and making false statements related to naturalization. Investigators also uncovered alleged passport and identification fraud, wire fraud and firearm offenses.

The illegal alien invader iced by ICE no doubt like tens of thousands of others of his ilk have and will vote in our elections. It's why Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants Biden thoroughly erased our borders during his illegitimate tenure in the Oval Office which saw upwards of 11 million illegal aliens flood into our country on top of the at least 35-40 million illegals already here for decades.

God bless ICE and everyone who is protecting us from this premeditated invasion.
With that, as the bromides used to say in Brooklyn, let me axe you this, does Newsom actually have a shot?

Gavin Newsom’s polished media appearances reveal a carefully managed strategy to ignore both his actual record and schisms among Democrats. . . No matter how destroyed or decrepit the state of California has become, Newsom is a legend in his own mind, and the phenomenally fawning media will always glow up the Democrat candidate, regardless of how incompetent that candidate’s record of governance is. No matter how destroyed or decrepit the state of California has become, Newsom is a legend in his own mind, and the phenomenally fawning media will always glow up the Democrat candidate, regardless of how incompetent that candidate’s record of governance is. . . In the words of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Gavin Newsom is a plastic Ken version of Patrick Bateman from American Psycho. He can lie with impunity without breaking a sweat, fidgeting his hands, blinking, or turning away from the camera. This kind of psychopathology can play very well with the progressive voter base as he competes for the 2028 Democrat nomination.

Have a good day.
