The Morning Report — 1/17/25

Good morning kids. Well, the Democrats continue to reveal themselves as the scummy low-lives and deranged tyrants that they are and have been for 200 years in their petty, puerile and pointless line of questioning of Donald Trump's cabinet nominees. Hitting the rewind button a few days ago, regarding Pete Hegseth and all the wetting of panty-girdles about his alleged white supremacist slip showing because of a (horror of horrors!) Christian tattoo on his arm revealing him to be a Nazi racist or something, commenter Beverly notes:

Delicious detail: the Jerusalem cross is, in tilework about 20 feet by 20 feet, at the center of the nave of the National Cathedral! AND it was on the drape over Goober Carter’s coffin as he lay in state in the Cathedral during his funeral! I so wish Pete had known about/said that.

And Carter could never have been elected piss boy let alone governor in Georgia had he not had the approval of what was originally called the Armed Militant Wing of the Democrat Party: The KKK. And yet. Yeah, go figure. Tell me again who the party is that desires to put us all "yall back in chains" as (Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants farted out to frighten black voters) with them holding the whip hand as we hand over our blood and treasure. Literally.

At yesterday's struggle session with Comrade Bernardo Sandersnista of Vermont, the self-gassing cancerous commie momzer spouted this drivel:

Treasury secretary nominee Scott Bessent turned the tables on independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders at his Thursday confirmation hearing by pointing out that President Joe Biden awarded “oligarchs” with the highest honor.

Sanders cited President Joe Biden’s statement made in his Wednesday farewell address that “an oligarchy is taking shape in America of extreme wealth, power and influence,” and questioned the nominee on whether he agrees that tech moguls Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos have overarching influence on the country. Bessent cited that Biden recently awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Democratic mega donor George Soros and The Carlyle Group co-chairman David Rubenstein, who he referred to as the president’s “oligarchs.”“When you have a small number of multi-billionaires who have enormous economic, media and political power, would you agree with President Biden who last night stated and I quote, ‘an oligarchy is taking shape in America of extreme wealth, power and influence that threatens our entire democracy, our basic rights and freedoms.’ That’s what President Biden said last night. I agree with him, do you?”

“Look, the three billionaires who you listed, they all made the money themselves. Mr. Musk came to the country as an immigrant,” Bessent said.

Sanders said to forget how they made their money and suggested that a limited amount of people having significant political power creates an “oligarchic form of society.”

. . . Soros has poured hundreds of millions of dollars into his organization, the Open Society Foundations, and other groups to elect soft-on-crime district attorneys and judges. Political action committees linked to the billionaire spend large sums of money to fund left-wing candidates in virtually every state throughout the U.S.

Yes, we must forget that George Soros and his father got paid handsomely by the Nazi Germans for helping them round up Hungarian Jews (some of them my relatives), with money taken from their victims heading off in cattle cars to the gas chambers and crematoria of Auschwitz. We have to forget that because Soros' noble aim is for the dismantling of America and western civilization and its bedrock foundation of Judeo-Christian values, morals and ethics that advanced human development more in the past near 250 years via the American Revolution than in almost all of human history since Magna Carta.

The only oligarchy is the academic/political/media axis of evil that has been in service exclusively to advance the counter-American Revolution with its political epicenter in the Democrat Party going back for sure since the 60s if not as far back as Woodrow Wilson and the insultingly misnomered "Progressive" movement which will progress us back to the 10th century if they succeed.

May Sanders live long enough to see Soros repatriated to Hungary or perhaps Malaysia where, correct me if I'm wrong, he faces a death sentence for destroying their currency (as he did the British pound and a few other nations), and every rotten, evil communist thing he believes in utterly dismantled, discredited and mocked. Oh to be a fly on the wall as the Lord passes final judgement on Sanders' contemptible corrupted soul and he heads for the Infernal Reaches. No, not Los Angeles.

While Biden and Sanders and a number of others in the Gerontocratic kleptocracy of our government are poised to go the way of Jimmy Carter in the not too distant future. Before I say please God, lest we forget, they have prepared for their own demise by protecting the seeds of our destruction that they planted or tended for the commie bastards that preceded them.

This was Trump's problem when he shocked the world in 2016, as the shampeachments, kangaroo court trials and the stolen election and DOJ/FBI/CIA+Pelosi Deep State 1/6 false flag operation have shown beyond all doubt. And it has not gone away.

Sure, every one of Trump's nominees can and likely will be approved. There's still this to deal with:

Can we consider this an insurrection? Perhaps election subversion? Maybe an attempt to undermine our “democracy”? (Yes, I know we’re a republic, but since we did just deliver Trump a majority of the nation’s votes, “democracy” conveniently, for argument’s sake, applies.)

It’s not like we need any more examples of how evil, corrupt, and lawless those on the left are, but here it is anyway: According to the results of a recent survey conducted by RMG Research, 73% of federal bureaucrats who identify as Democrats plan to “resist” Trump and his directives, and around 64% plan to directly defy his policies if they disagree with them. Here’s the story, from a report on the by Tyler O’Neil at The Daily Signal:

While the vast majority of government employees who identify as Republicans plan to support the administration (89% ‘somewhat support’ or ‘strongly support’, almost three quarters of Democrat bureaucrats plan to resist (73% ‘somewhat resist’ or ‘strongly resist’. More than half of Republican managers (52%) said they would ‘strongly support’ the administration, while 40% of Democrats said they will ‘strongly resist’ it. . . The survey also asked Federal Government Managers what they would do if Trump gave them a lawful order that they considered to be bad policy. Only 17% of Democratic managers who voted for Harris would follow Trump’s order. Three times as many (64%) said they would ignore the order and do what they thought was best.

. . . Walter E. Williams famously said, “I prefer a thief to a Congressman. A thief will take your money and be on his way, but a Congressman will stand there and bore you with the reasons why he took it.” Well, I think I prefer a Congressman (and that’s saying something!) to a federal bureaucrat who will steal your money, bore you with why he’s entitled to it, and actively and intentionally work against your best interest and what he’s been hired to do.

It's not necessarily your money they're stealing. They're stealing your liberty. Can there be mass-firings for cause, if not prosecutions for this, on the grounds of malfeasance or whatever? More crucially, will there be, considering the potential political ramifications. Let's say Border Patrol, DHS refuse the orders to start rounding up and deporting illegal alien invaders? Or military and intel soldiers, agents, Diplomats, whoever refuse to do their jobs because of policy differences. That risks our national security, no?

And there's this angle:

"It will take time to feel the full impact of all that my Administration has done," Presidentish Joe Biden claimed in Wednesday night's farewell address to the nation. "The seeds we planted will grow and bloom for decades to come."

I'm afraid he's right, for once.  "Cancer. He's describing cancer," Dan Franck quipped on X in response — and it's already begun to metastasize. Biden came into office promising — and then delivering — a spending and regulatory spree that made Barack "Mr. Stimulus and Obamacare" Obama look as parsimonious as John Adams. Well, according to the latest figures, Biden's chickens are coming home just in time to roost on Donald Trump's watch.

The cancer in this case is not merely policy, but the little Eichmann apparatchik lifers, the vast majority Democrat/leftist who will do their damndest to slow walk, sabotage or otherwise rebel against Trump, which is against the will of the people. And because of their chosen profession and perhaps education, have a deep disdain if not hatred for.

Cancer like that is fatal and unless the most radical of surgeries is employed to excise it, at best we will have a four year period of respite from a fatal prognosis.

Have a great weekend, and let's celebrate as we wait for Inauguration Day when Orange Mandela is primed to liberate Lady Liberty once again!!!!!

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