The Morning Report — 8/25/25

Good morning kids. Hope you all had a restful and enjoyable weekend. Off we go into the madness. The Democrat Left are nothing if not utterly predictable and as such tedious and irksome, as well as completely repugnant. First up, we have yammering syphilitic chimpanzee Brandon Johnson squatting on his haunches and picking the nits out of his crotch while allowing America's second city to disintegrate into a completely unlivable hellscape.

Let’s check in with Chicago. So far, 172 people were shot in Chicago in August, 41 were shot this week and 1,277 were shot this year so far. According to the media, this is fine. . . Why would you think Chicago needs help? We’ve liberated countries with fewer problems and less corrupt governments than Chicago.

With that bleak assessment, which for years sad to say we have read on a nearly weekly if not daily basis. Nor is it really new for almost any Democrat controlled metropolitan area. So President Trump is now considering sending in the National Guard to clean up Chicago. Which caused the aforementioned degenerate Johnson to go himself (aka Ape).

Sunday on MSNBC’s “The Weekend,” Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) said that if President Donald Trump sent the National Guard to his city, the people would rise up against “tyranny.”

Aside from the El Ruqns or Jan Schakowsky's rent-a-thugs or perhaps arming the criminals already in the Chicago jails, how many divisions does Johnson have?

If the people of Chicago had their druthers, I'd wager they'd march on Chicago's city hall with torches and pitchforks. At least the ones who having voted Democrat (or had their votes pre-cast for Democrats) for decades and are sick of what's been done to them by that party.

Speaking of being tired of the same old shit, the judicial coup rolls on:

Care for more repulsive chutzpocrisy, take a look at the links about Hakeem Jeffries and that Abigail Spanberger shit-whore.

An Obama-appointed judge ruled late Friday that the Trump administration could not deny federal funds to dozens of cities and counties over their sanctuary policies.

U.S. District Judge William Orrick, appointed to the bench in northern California by President Barack Obama, extended a preliminary injunction that blocks the Trump administration from withholding or conditioning federal funds from jurisdictions that refuse to cooperate with federal immigration authorities, according to court documents. The lawsuit, originally filed by San Francisco officials earlier this year, has since taken on many other sanctuary jurisdictions as plaintiffs.

I do not know what the mechanism is for transferring funds from the treasury to the states, but I would completely ignore this judge's ruling and block the funds. If that's not possible, then call out the national guard on as many of these so-called sanctuary cities as possible and go to town. Round 'em up and ship 'em out! ¡Con gusto!

Shifting gears completely, with a bit of relief and pretty damned good news.

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projected that tariffs implemented by President Donald J. Trump could reduce total deficits by $4 trillion over the next decade. . . CBO Director Phillip Swagel wrote: “If there are no further changes in tariff rates, we project that customs duties from new and existing tariffs will total about $200 billion this fiscal year.” . . . The analysis suggests that maintaining Trump’s tariffs would reduce federal borrowing and interest costs, leading to significant deficit reductions.

That is a pretty staggering number. Imagine what could be accomplished if along with raising the cash to pay down the deficits we cut the federal budget and bureaucracy over the long haul and shrink the size of the government.

On this bit of very good news and hope for the future, there's lots of links to chew over.

Have a great day!

Gun Thread: Almost End of August Edition!

Howdy, Y'all! Welcome to the wondrously fabulous Gun Thread! As always, I want to thank all of our regulars for being here week in and week out, and also offer a bigly Gun Thread welcome to any newcomers who may be joining us tonight. Howdy and thank you for stopping by! I hope you find our wacky conversation on the subject of guns 'n shooting both enjoyable and informative. You are always welcome to lurk in the shadows of shame, but I'd like to invite you to jump into the conversation, say howdy, and tell us what kind of shooting you like to do!

Holy Shitballs! How in the ever-loving Hell did it get to be almost the end of August? Next week will be the end of August and the week after that is the first of September!

On a programming note, SpaceX is planning to launch Starship Test Flight 10 not long after this thread goes up (launch window opens at 6:30pm Central) so consider this an open thread to discuss the launch and flight.

With that, step into the dojo and let's get to the gun stuff below, shall we?

Emergency Backup Food Thread – 08/24/2025

With apologies to all of you expecting an epicurean experience this afternoon, our regular Sunday chef, Mr. CBD, is unable to present the Food Thread today. We’ll have to give it a go without him.

Do Your Eggs Runneth Over

Fried eggs are a weekend treat for me. I make mine over-easy such that they are just barely runny, which provides just the perfect amount of yolk to sop up with toast.

But too runny is gross to me. At restaurants I no longer order eggs “sunny side up” because the yolks aren’t so much runny as they are watery, and the whites often aren’t even fully cooked. (My sister called them “runny side up” when she was a kid, a term I still use.)

How runny do you like your eggs?

*****

2nd Tier Fruits, and Squirrel Meat as a Form of Currency

First off, whatever happened to apricots and plums?

When I was a child, those were prominent fruits. If my recollections are correct, apricots and plums were the primary tree-borne fruits that were consumed at my grandparents’ house in summer, at least before the apples (Jonathan) ripened in fall. My grandmother would make plum-butter kolaches, which were sort of the Czech equivalent of danish rolls (except much, much better.)

Plums were always my father’s favorite fruit, and my wife recently bought some plums (“cherry plums” specifically), at which time I realized it had been decades since I had eaten one. I like plums, so I don’t know why I quit eating them.

I also need to try apricots again.

Speaking of apricots, my grandparents didn’t have an apricot tree, but there were a couple of elderly ladies (whom we knew as the “spinster sisters” who lived in a house down the road, and they had some apricot trees. My grandfather bartered with them, trading squirrels we shot out of his walnut trees for apricots.

My grandfather also bartered squirrel meat for blade sharpening with the guy at the lawn mower repair shop.

Recalling all this, I’m suddenly struck by the fact that:

- Squirrel meat was apparently a lot more popular back in the day. (However, I do recall a relatively recent episode of Duck Dynasty when the family was dining on squirrel and dumplings.)
- Dead squirrels are an interesting form of currency.
- Maybe the “spinster sisters” weren’t really sisters.

*****

Backyard Produce

Speaking of homegrown fruit, my dwarf apple trees will provide me a couple weeks’ worth of fruit this year. I’m guessing I’ll be able to start picking them by the end of August.

I’ll still need to head out to the Georgia mountains in September to bring back a few bushels of orchard fresh apples.

*****

Roadside Vegetable Popcorn Stands

There is a vacant lot beside the road I drive home from work, at which there are various pop-up stands throughout the year. In Fall a temporary pumpkin-selling operation appears, and similarly in December it becomes a Christmas tree lot. So, I was pleased one day in late July to see a canopy tent appear there. I figured this would be a temporary roadside vegetable stand. I slowed down with the intention of pulling over and getting some garden-fresh tomatoes, but as I pulled near, I realized it was…kettle corn.

First World Problems...

That is a commercial version of a classic French dish called Carottes Râpées. it's as simple as it gets; grated carrots, and some simple dressing.

So what's the problem?

The damned Frogs have special commercial machines that cut the carrots into tiny cylinders, which is the perfect texture for this dish! There are no simple home methods. A box grater works...okay. A food processor works...fast. But the commercial machines cut the carrots exactly as god intended.

Sure, they have home versions of the machines, but they look like Chinese crap.

And don't get me started on the mustard!

The Modern Plantation Is The Democrat Party

Winsome Earle-Sears is the current Lieutenant Governor of Virginia, and is the Republican candidate for Governor in the 2025 election. She is an impressively normal woman, although she is a Marine, so that gets her some extra points! She raised a family, wrote a book, ran for office, served her state honorably, and is in all respects a credit to America.

I disagree with some of her stances, and her support for Donald Trump's third presidential race was tepid at best, although being a politician in a blue state makes that a semi-rational (though undignified) decision.

But in the eyes of the rabid, racist, misogynistic left? She is an uppity n*gger who should get back on the plantation if she knows what's good for her! How dare she be against unlimited abortion! How dare she support the 2nd Amendment! How dare she oppose same-sex marriage! How dare she be against DEI!

And most of all...how dare she be a Republican and support Donald Trump.

For that she is banished to 2nd class citizenship by the blue-haired harpies of the new Democrat party. And because the Democrat party and its attendant political water carriers are rooted in racism and class divisions, they immediately latched onto the least important aspect of Sears...her color. Besides, all those brown and black and yellow and red people are just tools in the never-ending struggle against freedom... they certainly wouldn't want to embrace them as equals!

As proof, I give you the Georgia whale!

So what's the difference? Haven't we been told for generations that the Democrat party was the party of the little man? The disenfranchised? The minorities just trying to claw their way out of the muck created by evil White supremacists?

One would think that Winsome Earle-Sears would be the perfect symbol of American exceptionalism and its unique ability to embrace everyone! She is an immigrant, a veteran, a small-business owner, an author, a successful politician! What an amazing success story! And -- let us be brutally honest -- she isn't an immense fatty who is an obvious grifting crook!

But she is a Republican, and an unrepentant believer in the American dream, which means that she rejects the victim-hood that is part and parcel of the Democrat approach to black America, which is nothing more than chattel. They are tools to be used in the fight against freedom, and Winsome Earle-Sears has rejected that offensive, condescending, racist approach, and instead has chosen a better path.

And for that she must be destroyed!

  Even my smaller lawnmower (an 18V Bosch unit) could handle the task, though I did need to swap batteries at the midpoint because I had neglected to do so before putting it away for the winter.
  
  On the other hand, that virus really did a number on me, and I also needed to recharge half-way through mowing less than half the lawn. It'll likely be weeks before I'm back to normal.

Saturday Evening Movie Thread [moviegique]: Weapons

A funny thing happened on the way to the movie thread. In the last three weeks, we saw five films. All of them were new releases. All but one were good. Two were legitimately great. It got me thinking about how, over recent years, I've seen fewer and fewer of the top 40 films. If I can find the time, I'll make a chart and post about the progression.

I thought about it this fortnight-and-a-half because I found myself wondering if the trend could be changing.

Then I look at the top 20 and realize, no, I've only seen three of them. It just seems like I've seen more because I've seen a few more of the aggressively marketed recent releases.

The five films we hit:

Together, a body horror film on that most horrific of topics: Marriage. Tight, short, sweet, with a light story that's fraught with potential symbolism, so people can write think-pieces on Zoomer relationships. Body horror, though, so definitely not for everyone.

Shari and Lamb Chop, a documentary about Phyllis Naomi Hurwitz, better known as Shari Lewis. This is the puppet version of Together, and I'm only slightly kidding, as we see a bit into the astounding work ethic of a woman raised in the vaudeville tradition. If you're an older 29-year-old, you might remember her from inventing children's television in the '50s, where she did five or more hours of live TV every day. But if you're a younger 29-year-old, and you remember her from the (very slightly) saucy Lamb Chop years of being on game shows, and you might have wondered what the big deal was. 1990s kids will probably remember her PBS shows. She was so good at what she did, she made it look easy. Anyway, great documentary. The Boy (who was reticent to go see it) came out raving.

The Naked Gun. Surely this can't be any good. It is, and don't use that 45-year-old joke. Liam & Pamela have a blast on this excellently executed update. I can, and probably will, write a whole thing on the good choices made. (For example, updating the spoof from a '70s police show to a 21st century action flick.) It's not that all the jokes land. Few, if any, comedies manage that. It's that if you don't like a joke, the next one's coming along in five seconds. Running gags, without relying solely on running gags. Pop culture references but not only pop culture references. The ZAZ formula died in the hands of guys making movies built solely on references to better movies, and that's very light here. A good time, can't complain. Still, doesn't look like it's going to make a profit.

Fixed. This Netflix movie from Genndy Tartakovsky ("Dexter's Laboratory", "Samurai Jack", "Clone Wars", and the Hotel Transylvania series) is genuinely awful but I couldn't exactly hate it. It's adult animation about a dog that humps everything and lives in terror of being fixed. It's entirely scatological, but this brings very little joy. I mean, I happily ate popcorn through The Substance, the Evil Dead series and Schindler's List but this movie is wall-to-wall poop and pee and testicles. Way more misses than hits, with a completely incoherent worldview—I mean, obviously it's a comedy and it doesn't have to make sense, but it has to have enough grounding for the audience to grasp what they're supposed to care about. These dogs aren't dogs but they're dogs sometimes for joke purposes and humans others. It's not good. I didn't hate it, but I wouldn't blame you if you did.

Now, on to the main feature.

Apart from the staggering number of dog anuses, the movie looks pretty good.

You can think about the future riding on Amtrak in California

Above, you can see our view for about 15 or 20 minutes as we were stopped on our way to an appointment in Fresno. We were late even though we left early, because of the "Bullet Train" dream which Jerry Brown had years ago, carried forward by Gavin Newsom. In front of us, you can see solar-powered (just kidding) construction equipment working on an overpass. To the right is an impressive hedge of roses, glorious in spring, planted along the highway by a farmer at the border of an orchard. This hedge will likely disappear in the future, along with much of the remaining agricultural land in California. Farmers already face a lot of hostility in the state, especially concerning access to water. We can rely on China for our food, right?

Although the "bullet train" (not planned to run at bullet speeds anymore) will largely parallel Amtrak routes, it will be much more destructive tor the surrounding countryside.

Above, the false killer whale, which is actually a kind of dolphin. Though it sometimes eats other dolphins.

The false killer whale (Pseudorca crassidens) is a species of oceanic dolphin that is the only extant representative of the genus Pseudorca. It is found in oceans worldwide but mainly in tropical regions. It was first described in 1846 as a species of porpoise based on a skull, which was revised when the first carcasses were observed in 1861. The name "false killer whale" comes from having a skull similar to the orca (Orcinus orca), or killer whale.

The false killer whale reaches a maximum length of 6 m (20 ft), though size can vary around the world. It is highly sociable, known to form pods of up to 50 members, and can also form pods with other dolphin species, such as the common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus). It can form close bonds with other species, as well as have sexual interactions with them.

Just like a dolphin.

But the false killer whale has also been known to eat other dolphins, though it typically eats squid and fish. It is a deep-diver; maximum known depth is 927.5 m (3,043 ft); maximum speed is around 29 km/h (18 mph).

No one wanted this old dog, despite how beautiful she was. I always wondered what happened to her. I came across an update, noting that Pirate had sadly died, as old dogs do. But she had a wonderful few years after finally being rescued from the kennel.

The Week In Woke

Is our corporations learning?

Companies that touted their DEI programs in the first part of this decade have largely gone dark on the issue--at least publicly.

In the first few years of the 2020s, companies used earnings calls, annual reports, proxy filings, and ESG reports to broadcast their stance on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), a term that shot into the mainstream after 2020's mass protests over George Floyd's death.

In 2020 and 2021 alone,Comcast Corp. pledged $100 million to fight racial injustice and other forms of discrimination. Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. set targets for diversity in top leadership, and Mastercard Inc. became one of many companies to tie executive compensation to environmental, social, and governance metrics.

But when President Donald Trump took office for the second time, he endorsed pushback to the corporate world's DEI focus that had been building among conservatives for years. His January pledge to investigate the private sector for "illegal DEI" preceded abrupt slashes to diversity chatter at companies like Target Corp.

But Target wasn't the only one either rolling back DEI or downplaying ongoing efforts. The use of the "DEI" acronym has dropped 68% year-over-year in S&P 100 companies, according to a recent report from business think tank The Conference Board.

Of course, this doesn't mean DEI is dead -- we've seen colleges simply use other words to continue actually-outlawed DEI discrimination. We won't know how much corporations have abandoned DEI until we learn what exciting new euphemisms they're using for anti-male and anti-white-and-asian racial discrimination.

A black female Hatian writer for The New Yorker attacked Sydney Sweeney as an "Aryan princess."

You'll never guess -- it turns out she is a virulent anti-white racist but that's okay because apparently there's one race you're allowed, nay encouraged, to hate.

But everyone else must continue walking on eggshells around Precious Protected Classes.

A staffer for the New Yorker who denounced Sydney Sweeney as an "Aryan princess" has spouted anti-white and antisemitic rhetoric in social media posts -- before scrubbing her account after being called out on Friday.

Doreen St. Felix, 33, had written several racist posts on X, the site formerly known as Twitter, including that "whiteness fills me with a lot of hate" and that "the holocaust is the worst thing to happen to black people."

I think she probably means that those tricksy Jews are using their own history of oppression to compete with black foreigners' own demands for infinite victimhood points. Black racists dwell on this a lot. They just reject the Holocaust as being a big deal, as Whoopie Goldberg can tell you. (She claimed the Holocaust wasn't "racist" because Germans and Jews were the same race, which would come as a surprise to the Nazis who wrote Germany's racial codes.)

The unearthed inflammatory tweets date back to 2014 -- three years before the Haitian-American journalist was hired by the left-leaning magazine run by longtime editor David Remnick.

St. Felix deleted her X account after her comments resurfaced following her recent article for the Conde Nast-owned publication in which she criticized Sweeney's American Eagle campaign.

In the 1,040-word piece that ran Aug. 2, she accused Sweeney's fans of wanting to "recruit her as a kind of Aryan princess" and declared there were "plenty of reasons" to dislike the ad.

...

In one tweet targeting white men dated in December 2014, St. Felix wrote: "You all are the worst. Go nurse your f--king Oedipal complexes and leave the earth to the browns and the women."

Another simply said: "I hate white men."

The resurfaced messages revealed a pattern of racially charged commentary spanning multiple years.

In one post, St. Felix admitted she "writes like no white is watching."

Another declared that she "would be heartbroken if I had kids with a white guy."

Her antipathy extended to broader cultural claims, including assertions that white people's poor hygiene "literally started the bubonic plague, lice, syphilis."

White people started lice? By the way, Very Well-Informed Elite Writer, the bubonic plague originated in Central Asia and China.

She also suggested that "we lived in perfect harmony w/ the earth pre whiteness" and blamed environmental destruction specifically on "white capitalism."

You lived in fucking mud-huts. You're welcome.

Her posts also contained tone-deaf references to the Nazi slaughter of six million Jews.

In one tweet, she described what she called "the holocaust gesture," writing that "it's tricknological, when white people invoke the holocaust" because it "allows them to step out of their whiteness and slip on fake oppression."

She also wrote that "the holocaust birthed trauma studies" and claimed it "explains a lot about why we get so many things wrong about how trauma comes."

In another post, she claimed "the tolerability of racism is linked to how its acted out on brown bodies. The holocaust was not tolerable bc of white victims so it ended."

...

The Post has sought comment from both Conde Nast and The New Yorker.

..

A Dec. 5, 2014, tweet referenced The Post. She wrote: "there's a slow, second holocaust against brown people in this country and the nypost 'Supports the NYPD' so they are terrorists as well."

So much Holocaust envy. Princess is so angry that white guys don't dig her and Jews compete with her for victim points.

Social media users noted the apparent contradiction between St. Felix's past statements denouncing capitalism and her living conditions.

Her listed address corresponds to a $1.3 million home in a gated Brooklyn community overlooking a marina.

Another black racist of zero talent who is nevertheless infinitely rewarded for her racism and zero talent is Joy Reid, who recently declared that white men are all "mediocre" because they just have their careers handed to them -- the pot here calls the kettle black -- and have never invented anything.

Of course, the only examples of inventions she can think of are styles of music, which, in her mind, are the only inventions that count because black people have some success in music. So those are the only inventions that count.

Who invented the computers and cameras she's recording herself on? Who knows. Probably some black genius scientist like you see in Marvel movies who had his patents stolen by the White Devils.

Former MSNBC anchor Joy Reid condemned President Donald Trump, Elvis Presley and others on Friday as some of history's many "mediocre White men" whose achievements are stolen or counterfeit.

Reid criticized Trump's review of the Smithsonian during an interview with Wajahat Ali for his "The Left Hook" substack, in an episode titled, "How Mediocre White Men and Their Fragility Are Destroying America."

They argued that across America's institutions, there is a phenomenon of "mediocre White men" with no actual culture of their own who co-opt the achievements of Black people to aggrandize themselves.

Ali opened the episode by talking about Trump reforming the Kennedy Center in what his critics call a hostile takeover. The institution, which in recent years had featured drag queen performances, is now being reformed to show decidedly more conservative and pro-American content. Trump announced this year's Kennedy Center awards last week, which he will also be hosting.

Joy Reid was one of MSNBC's most controversial anchors for her rhetoric on race, and since her firing, she has continued her same line of incendiary racial commentary.

"These people cannot create culture on their own," Ali said. "Without Black people, Brown people, the DEIs, there's no culture in America. We make the food better. We make the economy better. We make the music better. Right? MAGA can't create culture. They got Cracker Barrel and Kid Rock."

Reid and Ali claimed that White conservatives practice their own variant of outrage culture where they complain about what they say. "They don't have the intellectual rigor to actually argue or debate with us, right? And what they do is they tattle and tell. They run and tell teacher that 'the Black lady or the Brown man was mean to me.' And that's what they always do," Reid said.

Reid, who initially wore a hat dedicated to the historically debatable 1619 Project, then changed to one with the letters "FDT," took special umbrage at Trump's efforts to review the Smithsonian's historical exhibits ahead of America's 250th anniversary.

"They can't fix the history they did. Their ancestors made this country into a slave -- a slave hell, but they can clean it up now because they got the Smithsonian. They can get rid of all the slavery stuff," she said. "They got PragerU that can lie about the history to the children. They can't originally invent anything more than they ever were able to invent good music.

"We Black folk gave y'all country music, hip-hop, R&B, jazz, rock and roll. They couldn't even invent that, but they have to call a White man 'The King.' Because they couldn't make rock and roll, so they have to stamp 'The King' on a man whose main song was stolen from an overweight Black woman," Reid continued.

So if we're talking about historical wrongs, can we talk about current evils, like the absolutely vile levels of black criminality and victimization of members of other races? No? Why not?

These people gin up less-socialized blacks to go wilding on whites. They instil absolute hatred of white people in some blacks, and then whites pay the consequences.

But yes, let's ignore that and talk forever about slavery (which the White Devils stamped out, at least in the western world, at great expense).

CNN's own mediocre black female racist, Abby Philip, is now going on black podcasts to attack her guests for supposedly downplaying slavery, and being racist. She is calling out Scott Jennings -- the only reason people bother watching her very low-rated (91,000 people! In total!) show, as well as Jillian Michael.

We'll see if Scott Jennings remains on the show or just quits.

Highly fatiguing.

Disturbing footage captured the moment a massive melee broke out on a Carnival Cruise ship among fuming passengers seemingly upset over "chicken tenders."

The violence among about two dozen brawlers erupted aboard the Sunshine at about 2 a.m. Monday -- the last day of its voyage -- as the ship was heading back to Miami, according to a passenger who filmed the mayhem.

"Where the f--k is security?!" one bystander could be heard yelling in the footage as passengers trade blows and slam each other to the floor.

Multiple security guards could be seen trying to break up the fight, with one overwhelmed officer fleeing the chaos and reaching for his radio as shoes went flying.

At one point, Bronx content creator Mike Terra -- who filmed the uproar and shared it on his social media channels -- flipped the camera to record his own reaction.

"Over chicken tenders is crazy," Terra said in the video.

The avid cruiser later responded to intrigued commenters, calling the ruckus an "isolated incident" that escalated over "more" than just food around 2 a.m. after the ship set sail from Miami.

And when reached by The Post on Wednesday, Terra admitted: "We weren't close enough to know why [the fight] really started, we just knew they were in line for food."

It must be Because Slavery and Because White Supremacy.
