The Morning Report — 12/25/25

Good morning kids. Merry Christmas! Going to try and keep it light this morning. Among the usual madness and mayhem there are some positive headlines, including the election of yet another conservative/right or at least non-Communist/Socialist, this time in Honduras. So along with Milei in Argentina, Bukele in Nicaragua, Kast in Chile we now have Asfura in Honduras.

Perhaps 2026 will be the year that the long suffering Venezuelan people will be liberated from the kleptocratic, narco-terrorist Commie/Socialist Chavista/Maduro junta and taste freedom, hopefully forever. Trump's reinvigoration of the long moribund Monroe doctrine is reshaping foreign policy in this hemisphere for sure and no doubt making our enemies and rivals further afield sit up and take notice as well.

As for our enemies right here at home, President Trump had a very special Christmas message:

President Donald Trump sent Christmas wishes to all Americans on Christmas Eve, singling out the “Radical Left Scum” as recipients.

Far be it for me to criticize the President for his language insofar as anyone who has read this column or listened to the podcast know (latest episode linked here and in the sidebar as well as at the usual outlets listed at the end of this post)... that I certainly don't mince words about my feelings for those on the Left end of the spectrum. And considering this is Christmas, though I'm not Christian, I will go so far as to reiterate my wishes for Democrat/Leftists: May the Good Lord in Heaven open their hearts and minds so that they may at long last recognize the evil that has infected them, so they can repent, seek forgiveness and preserve their souls from eternal damnation. Amen.

But that said, I give you this radioactive madness to underscore my utter detestation of them:

“How the far right stole Christmas,” authored by Rome correspondent Hannah Roberts. 
Politico Frames European Christmas Celebrations as ‘Far-Right Spectacle’

Translation: We have orgasms when Muslims slaughter Christians anytime anywhere and especially at Christmas markets! These are the same bastards who claim Jesus Christ to have been a some sort of negroid Palestinian mulatto and that every wetback who crosses the Rio Grande is akin to Mary and Joseph fleeing persecution, etc. ad nauseam. And that putting up nativity scenes in schools is a crime against humanity while transsexualism and other perversions in he schools are healthy and wholesome.

Meh, I could go on for days but as I said, it's Christmas and better to keep it light. Oh well, I failed. Apologies for micturating in your Christmas morning corn flakes. Mr. President, you are so right, the Left are SCUM.

Other than that, quite a good essay from John Stossel that somehow needs to be drummed into the hollow heads of our youth who are all hot and horny for socialism.

If you're hitting the road, safe travels, especially in the norhteast. Again, Merry Christmas and God bless you all.

And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.
