The Morning Report — 1/22/25

Good morning kids. President Trump hit the ground running in his first full day as Potus, and really the moment he took his hand off the Bible and the glorious words from his mouth reverberated in the Capitol "So Help Me God."

There are many incredible things that he has done in just the past 24 to 36 hours that, if they can be defended with the kind of resolve and single-minded determination to do them in the first place will go a long way towards the restoration of sanity and perhaps the Republic itself in the long run, please God. Given the moral rot and venality of those in government who allegedly are on our side of the aisle, to say nothing of the preternatural degeneracy of the anti-American Left and its epicenter of the Democrat Party, it's a mighty big "IF."

Speaking of which, a prime example of the aforementioned is none other than this condemned failure of a human being that goes by the name of Jamie Raskin:

Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said Tuesday on CNN’s “OutFront” that President Donald Trump’s pardoning the January 6 protesters was to create a “reserve army of political foot soldiers.”
Raskin said, “The question is why? Pardons have generally been used when people are actually innocent or there was some procedural miscarriage of justice. Nobody’s claiming that these people were innocent. We’ve got them on tape, you know, hitting the police officers over the head with pipes and bats and Confederate battle flags and all of that’s been established. Most of them pled guilty. The others have been convicted. There was no procedural miscarriage of justice. On the contrary, they’ve had every benefit of due process.”
. . . Raskin added, “So then the question is, why are they being released? Are they being released as a reserve army of political foot soldiers to act on behalf of MAGA and Donald Trump? I think that’s what’s so profoundly troubling to a majority of the American people who rejected the idea of freeing at least the violent criminals and the ones who were convicted of seditious conspiracy, which means conspiracy to overthrow the government.”

For this twisted Hades-bound cancerous degenerate to have the unmitgated temerity to spout this is beyond the pale for all that is decent and good. He and his ilk are the actual confederates. Need I remind you that it was the Democrats who were the party of slavery, Jim Crow and Communist anti-American subversion to destroy the Republic in order to seize absolute power for themselves, a mission that they will never back away from. Raskin, his ilk and their ability to ever again be in a position to do what has been done to us every time a Democrat is elected Dog-catcher let alone President (legitimately or as we saw with our own eyes in 2020 and likely in 1960 for those old enough to recall, otherwise). Must be stopped and guarded against, with all our might, lest we consign ourselves to an inevitable destruction should we fail in our resolve.

The only violence that occurred in the Capitol on 1/6/21 was caused by FBI plants either agents themselves working undercover or their hired confederates such as this Ray Epps and a BLM leader named John Sullivan (IIRC). Capitol Cop Michael Byrd gunned down unarmed, non-violent Ashli Babbitt in cold blood while a defenseless Roseanne Boyland was choked and stomped to death by other Brownshirts with police badges. And all of those imprisoned and blood-libeled as insurrectionists and rioters were let in by the Capitol Cops and escorted about the building as if they were on a guided tour. All of this was to create a phony Reichstag Fire that they could use and did use as an excuse to persecute Trump. Yet despite all of that, and the perversion of the justice system into a Frankenstein's two-headed monster of Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, which are the progenitors of many of the Democrat policies we have suffered under for decades and for sure these past four years.

Lest we forget the cadres of terrorists unleashed on America with both the defund the police movement and concomitant decriminalization of crime madness as well as the erasure of our border and the flooding in of millions of third world peasants, among them God knows how many thousands of hardened murderers, rapists, human and drug traffickers that have spilled a river of blood and left a real trail of tears (to swipe a phrase) across a ravaged nation. The blood and suffering is all on the hands of Raskin and his ilk and anyone who went along with it, regardless of political affiliation.

Not a peep out of Raskin in protest when Bill Clinton pardoned actual Puerto Rican FALN terrorists as well as this Susan Rosenberg weather underground slag who, unironically enough, went on to teach in a university. Not a peep, except to praise them when Antifa and BLM scum rioted, burned and looted several dozen cities because a criminal died while resisting arrest. And Raskin was undoubtedly cheering wildly during the 2020 summer of love when BLM savages torched St. John's Church near the White House and Trump was rushed to safety for fear he was the next target.

And for Jamie Raskin, I say CANCER CURE THYSELF. Before his much deserved roasting in Hell which cannot happen soon enough, I hope he is roasted in front of a congressional hearing for his role in the persecution of Trump and the J6 patriots/political prisoners. With his pardoning by Joey Sponge-bran Shits Pants, he will have to admit his guilt and then no doubt will perjure himself in front of said committee.

On another note, among the many fantastic things Trump did yesterday, was the long-overdue striking down of the insane and completely unconstitutional intentional mal-interpretation of the meaning and spirit of the 14th Amendment.

We know exactly what Section 1 of the 14th was aimed at. “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside” was meant to protect the civil rights of freed slaves. It did not mean that anyone who happened to give birth in this country automatically made their kid a citizen, but that’s the absurd premise of birthright citizenship.
And the current Trump executive order meant to apply to future children of illegal aliens is being challenged on the basis of the Fourteenth. This battle is almost certainly going to end up in the Supreme Court which should be interesting, though far from an inevitable happy outcome. If you think Neil or Amy are going to vote to eliminate birthright citizenship, well good luck with that. Ideally we should repeal old number fourteen which is probably the sloppiest and messiest of the amendments. If you doubt that, go look up at that list above.
Not likely to happen, but a man can dream.
There’s no such thing as birthright citizenship. Or any of the other things that Dems keep finding in the 14th Amendment which was not written to do any of these things.

Sadly, I fear Daniel Greenfield's trepidations about Neil Al Gor-such and Amy Coney-Island Whitefish to say nothing of Cheap Justice Julia Roberts are well-founded. Their past cowardice to defend the Constitution and willingness to go along in our destruction to get along is as repulsive a reminder of how far we have fallen as the direct actions of diseased turds like Raskin.

Meh, enough of the micturating in your corn flakes, as it is indeed Morning in AMERICA!!!

Well, regardless Trump sits at the Resolute Desk and we somehow overcame evil and put him there.

We Shall Overcome, please God!!!

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.

Friend told me, “Blanket pardons are the correct decision. Regardless of the fact pattern for any particular J6 case, the federal government made a deliberate decision to depart from its obligation to follow due process. When that happens, the justice system in a free country has no alternative but to consider cases irrevocably tainted and every defendant must go free.”

A group of immigrant organizations led by the ACLU sued the Trump administration over an executive order that seeks to withhold birthright citizenship against individuals born on American soil to parents living unlawfully in the country or on certain temporary visas. The lawsuit is likely a preview of the left-wing resistance to come against the Trump administration’s immigration agenda, which faced an incredible wave of litigation during the president’s first term.

The executive order was signed by Trump on Monday, at the onset of his second term in the White House. Under Trump’s order, if both parents are immigrants, their children born in the United States are not automatically granted citizenship. The order argues that these children are not covered by the 14th Amendment‘s citizenship clause.This interpretation challenges late 19th and early 20th-century legal precedent affirming birthright citizenship, with only a specific exclusion for children of accredited diplomats. However, there is division within the judiciary. For instance, Judge James C. Ho of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit has shown some agreement with Trump’s perspective.
Democrat States Challenge Trump’s Birthright Citizenship Order in Court.
In December 2023, Adams and other sanctuary city mayors pleaded with the Biden-Harris junta for help with the migrant crisis, as their cities had received thousands of migrants.

I was just reading about that. Typical Democrat hitjob. Ballard Spahr, the lawfirm driving this smear, is ,get this, a massive Dem outlet. "According to the Capitol-Star, the firm hosted a virtual inauguration event for former President Joe Biden in 2020 with the Pennsylvania and Delaware Democratic Parties. It also reported that one of the biggest beneficiaries of the donations has been Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ), who attacked Hegseth during his confirmation hearing...

AND :
"NBC News reported that Senate Armed Services Committee committee staffers were in contact with Dietrich “for several days” before she submitted the affidavit and that she had chosen to come forward in response to a January 18 letter from Sen.

IMO, a Deep State probing of Trump, to see whether he has the will to push back.

If he keeps making noises about how 'unfair' things are and 'hoping' that prisoners are released rather than ordering US marshals and / or US troops to go in, free the prisoners and put down the jailers with extreme prejudice, then the State will have taken the measure of Trump and will know that there are lines he will not cross and that they can defy him without consequences.

YMMV.

They concluded that doubling CO2 from pre-industrial levels from 400 to 800 ppm “shows no measurable increase in infrared radiation absorption, and thus can lead to just 0.5C warming increase at most.”

Hard to say. He definitely would have beaten him in 2016. McCain and Romney did both throw in the towel, but 2008 was going to be a tall order.

Trump needed the lessons learned from Sarah Palin in order to win. I remember he met with her for pizza in 2011 and clearly got the skinny on what he was going to be up against. She was the object lesson in many ways.

More than anything Trump proved without a shadow of a doubt that Palin and her "controversial extremist ideas" was never a drag on the McCain ticket as the libs enjoyed saying, and was the only reason Juan McGrabass didn't suffer a 40 state blowout.

111 It's kind of hard to plan a large operation to round up illegals and the media not get wind of it and start spreading the word. Days before any actual action assets like vehicles, people, etc. have to be deployed.

It was noted elsewhere that ICE vehicles were observed on trailers heading towards the southern border.

I'm sure it's been observed in so-called sanctuary cities too. The media, and local governments are only there to thwart any attempts to round up illegals.

114 >>I had a strange thought last night: If Donald Trump had chosen to enter the political scene 4 years earlier (in 2011), I just wonder if he might not have beaten Obama in 2012.

I don't think anyone was beating Obama in 2012. The left didn't just start figuring out how to cheat in elections in 2020 and Obama's 2nd term was vitally important to what the deep state had planned.

Forget about Biden giving pardons to his entire family, Fauci and the J6 committee scumbags. We kind of always knew he was going to do that. But does it strike anyone else odd that most of the pardons cover actions all the way back to January 1, 2014?

A whole lot of stuff happened in 2014 that are still driving our politics today and they weren't random incidents, they are all connected. The attempt to destroy Trump is an attempt to keep the world from finding out their dirty little secrets.

Norm Ornstein is one of the most consequential actors in virtually every leftist attack on Trump and us over the last decade. He was behind he Russia hoax, the Ukraine impeachment, years of Trump lawfare and pretty much everything else.

He's mostly flown below the radar but he is a central figure in all of this corruption.

195 At the rate Trump is going, he's going to turn the overwhelming majority of Americans against him, including most of the people who voted for him. Trump is drunk with power and is acting like he's completely lost his mind.

Totally agree. Some EOs even seem unconstitutional. He wrote an EO contradicting SCOTUS ruling that banned TikTok. Hate to raise the word, but it is not an official act to sign EOs that destroy the Constitution or SCOTUS rulings.

"seem"? Check out the birthright one. He doesn't care at all. And neither do Musk and the rest of them. They are bullies and are going to push it as far as they can.

The silver lining: Trump's madness could lead to the biggest Republican wipe out in history in 2026. But then again, if Trump is able to consolidate his power, will the mid-term elections even matter?

Look at the video someone posted with the guy showing trumpers the video of musk doing Nazi salute. They don't care. They laughed. Most of this stuff doesn't matter to them. Like Ukraine. They don't even know what dei stands for and they opposed it vehemently. You cannot rely on his voters for anything.

DOGE was never more than a proposed advisory board.

It will investigate and make suggestions on actions. A lot of this will probably be focused on things Trump can do unilaterally, language in statute that gives him authority to shutter offices and remove regulation. But there's a hard limit to how much of that he can do on his own and how much it will affect things.

It seemed obvious to me that DOGE would also propose legislation for repeals of certain statutes, which has to go through Congress.

257 In 2014, the CIA helped run a coup in Ukraine and then with the help of the State Dept and several key politicians including VP Biden and John McCain basically ran the country. Putin responded by taking Crimea and Obama did nothing.

In 2014, Obama made it illegal to do gain of function in the US because of the potential danger of a lab leak causing a pandemic. Fauci, who was working with the intel community, they started sending money offshore to do the research in places like Wuhan and Ukraine.

In 2014, Hunter along with former CIA big wig Cofer Black are installed on the board of the very corrupt and very powerful Burisma board.

All of the family and Fauci pardons cover the period starting January 1, 2014 until basically the end of the Biden term. The Russia hoax and the Ukraine impeachment were run or directed by the CIA. The virus response was largely a CIA op.

The hate the left has for Trump and us is part of the CIA narrative building campaign that they do in color revolutions.

260 The wife of a pastor I know is from the DC area. She firmly believes, based on personal experience, demonic forces are running rampant in the capital.

A few years ago there was a fire at the chief Satanic Temple in NYS. The left made a big deal about it arguing it was religiously motivated arson though I suspect it actually wasn't since nothing came of their investigation.

But...apparently we have enough Satanic Temples in the North East corridor that they have relative hierarchies and one political party sees itself as their natural friend and protector.

261 I had a strange thought last night: If Donald Trump had chosen to enter the political scene 4 years earlier (in 2011), I just wonder if he might not have beaten Obama in 2012.

I don't think anyone was beating Obama in 2012. The left didn't just start figuring out how to cheat in elections in 2020 and Obama's 2nd term was vitally important to what the deep state had planned.

Posted by: JackStraw at January 22, 2025 08:26 AM

While true about the cheat machine, the 2012 election was the first time since 1980 (Carter's re-election) that a Democrat Presidential candidate did not earn as many votes as the previous election. Obama earned ~3.5 million less votes in 2012 compared to 2008. Obama won by ~10 million votes in 2008. Obama won by ~5 million votes in 2012.

I think Trump would have done better than Romney in 2012, but likely still would have lost to the cheat machine.

I think nationwide institutional cheat started in 2012 as a reaction to 2010.

It had been mostly pocketed in places, but the Chicago machine had taken control of the DNC since 2009 and implemented what changes it could to centralize the cheat as much as possible, directing efforts in key locales.

2010 scared them shitless, and they were never going to lose again.

I'm thinking that "Edgar" must've been "her" name before "she" "transitioned".

Because that face could make a freight train take a dirt road. That's not just a face made for radio. It's a face made for telegraph. Maybe even smoke signals.

328 >>I'm sure Hunter Biden got a blanket pardon back to 2014 was due to his tax evasion around that time. In fact, I'm positive that what's the pardon is for among other things he has done.

But a real investigation of his tax evasion from 2014 would expose exactly what he and his father were doing to get paid by a CIA affiliated asset in Ukraine.

All good now though.

365 BOOM!

The US Coast Guard has deployed its elite forces to Florida, Alaska and Hawaii after Donald Trump signed executive orders seeking to crackdown on illegal immigration on his second day in office.

Hours after Trump declared illegal immigration a national emergency and outlined his intent to send the army to Mexico's US border, the Coast Guard revealed a six-point plan for tackling crime at sea.

A statement from Kevin Lunday, the Coast Guard's acting commandant, said the strategy will focus on stopping "illegal migration, drug smuggling and other terrorist or hostile activity before it reaches our border."

The tech companies have no choice in this environment to stand against the people. Don’t forget, other than Mr Musk, none of them were on the side of freedom until they really had no choice.

"WASHINGTON—House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) issued the following statement regarding President Biden’s preemptive pardon of Representative Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) for his role in the sham January 6th Committee:

“How appropriate that Joe Biden’s final act is to preemptively pardon Jamie Raskin — the man who was one of the chief advocates for two unjust impeachments of the newly elected 47th President of the United States and a member of the sham January 6th Committee. Jamie Raskin will be remembered for his abuse of power, hypocrisy, consistent dishonesty, and unwavering loyalty to Joe Biden, despite evidence showing that Biden and his
family were involved in peddling influence for tens of millions of dollars with our adversaries around the world.

Jamie Raskin once claimed that ‘the seeking of pardons is a powerful demonstration of the consciousness of guilt, or at least the consciousness that you may be in trouble.’ It’s clear that the chickens have come home to roost for Jamie Raskin.”

From above, "Trump asserted in the Oval Office that both

When that happens, the justice system in a free country has no alternative but to consider cases irrevocably tainted and every defendant must go free.”
