The Morning Report — 2/17/26

Good morning kids. Another day, another transexualism/Leftist-fueled mass slaughter to report.

Police identified the gunman who killed two people and critically injured three others at a high school hockey game in Rhode Island on Monday afternoon as Robert Dorgan, a transgender dad who railed against anti-trans hate in family legal disputes and deranged social media rants.

The 56-year-old father, who shot four family members and a family friend before he turned the gun on himself following the deadly rampage at the Pawtucket ice rink, used the female alias Roberta Esposito, Pawtucket Police Chief Tina Goncalves said during a press conference Monday night. 

“We have identified the person, the suspect, by a birth name, the birth name was Robert Dorgan,” Goncalves said. “We have also learned that the person does go by the name of Roberta, also uses a last name of Esposito.”

. . . A woman who was seen leaving the Pawtucket police station earlier in the day said the gunman was her father, who “has mental health issues” and was “very sick.”

No it's all of us who are sick for not using the preferred pronouns and objecting to genital mutilation of children in the name of diversity or something. If you think because you live in a reliably red/conservative/normal town or state and think you are immune from this insanity, think again my friends.

The School District of New Richmond in Wisconsin secretly implemented a transgender bathroom policy, and on last Tuesday night during an explosive school board meeting, parents revolted en masse. 

New Richmond, a small northwestern city of only 10,000, is like many communities in the region — mostly white, conservative, and broadly working and middle-class. It sits in Wisconsin’s 7th Congressional District, where I’m currently running for Congress in 2026 and where President Trump won by more than 20 points in 2024. . .

. . . On Tuesday, I saw New Richmond fathers and mothers refuse to surrender. New Richmond leaders, however, did. 

This is why all elections matter. From your local school board to your member of Congress. If we want schools that reflect our values and laws that protect our daughters, we must elect leaders willing to stand firm in their convictions, protect the vulnerable, and defend the truth.

Elsewhere, DC is evidently dealing with a massive sewage spill. No, Maxine Waters did not give a speech . . .

. . . the Potomac Interceptor release is poised to become the largest sewage spill in U.S. history.

Reportedly approaching one of the largest wastewater spills in US history, the Potomac Interceptor collapse is now entering a pivotal stretch as DC Water ramps up pumping capacity to 114 million gallons per day, while E. coli levels near the collapse site remain staggeringly high.

While we're on the topic of toxic effluent, I give you the recently discovered ramblings of Eric "Yum-Yum" Swalwell, a vile, compromised Chi-Com intel asset posing as an American politician.

Graphic erotic poetry written by Democrat California gubernatorial candidate Rep. Eric Swalwell resurfaced this week, along with his past advocacy for pardoning two criminals convicted of killing law enforcement officers.

Swalwell, who announced his run for governor on late night TV, was born in Iowa and primarily raised in the San Francisco Bay Area with three younger brothers. He attended Campbell University in North Carolina starting in 1999, where he majored in government and politics and contributed to the student newspaper. One piece, a raunchy poem titled “Hungover From Burgundy,” depicts two lovers chasing each other, with blood coming into play as they kiss. The magazine described Swalwell at the time as an “active member of the Campbell University student body,” a writer for the Campbell Times and someone completing his third screenplay. (RELATED: Inside The Scenario Where Two Republicans Win California’s Jungle Primary)

“And there beauty was, formless and magnificent— A flurry of limbs and nails. She chased and I ran, I chased and She ran. Atop my hotel she stopped And I lept for cloth and tan, My anxious arm she bit— my scar is beautiful. While I screamed, She bent her lips to mine. Kissing till veins imploded and exploded, Till blood rolled down our chins, For bounded mouths cannot speak of parting,” Swalwell wrote.

Given that this is Swalwell, I read the word "parting" as Farting".

While we're on the subject of noxious flatus, there is quite a contingent of individuals putatively Americans and on the American winter Olympic team who are opening most of their time running down their own country.

Arguably the most execrable is this Eileen Gu shit-whore . . . Who actually competes for the Red Chinese team!

Gu of course isn’t the first American athlete to defect to China, but she’s certainly the most prominent—and likely the most wealthy. According to Forbes, Gu is the fourth highest-paid female athlete in the world, in just a few years amassing a fortune worth some $23 million. Of that, only about $100,000 comes from skiing, and the rest from lucrative modeling contracts and major brand endorsements, many in China where Gu is a superstar.

This makes Gu an ideal ambassador and propagandist for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). In that role, she has dutifully avoided answering even the most basic questions about her citizenship. To compete for China in the Olympics, Gu must have a Chinese passport, and since China doesn’t allow dual citizenship there has been speculation for years that she renounced her American citizenship.

Gu, who speaks Mandarin and spent time in China throughout her life, maintains a carefully cultivated public persona and refuses to engage any questions about her citizenship or her absentee American father, whose name isn’t public. She carefully redirects any politically tinged questions, adopts woke positions on most issues she does speak about, and reliably parrots CCP talking points about how wonderful and open China is.

Gu speaks Mandarin and has spent time in China her entire life, yet she lives, trains, and goes to school in America. She lives in one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in San Francisco (Sea Cliff), attended the private prep school University High School (tuition $68,090), and has enjoyed all the benefits of a posh upbringing in the United States. Yet Gu competes for China on the world stage, and has enriched herself immensely from it.

This makes her a traitor, more or less. Or at the very least a defector—and a useful one. American news outlets are covering her like they did in the last one—hyping her up as if she’s an American athlete, not a Chinese one.

I haven't watched the Olympics in years, as I suspect neither have many of you for the same reasons that have led to the rapid decline of pro football, basketball, baseball and every other professional American sports league. All have degenerated into repositories of politicized, anti-American, amoral perversion. Oh well.

Have a great day.

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.
