The Morning Report — 3/ 4 /25

Good morning kids. First, late yesterday the Senate confirmed Linda McMahon to head up the Department of Education. All things considered, I hope her mission is the complete dismantling of this bureaucracy that has done nothing to advance the actual education of America's children since its inception a little more than 45 years ago. President Trump himself within the last few weeks has stated that this is something he was seeking to do. In purely bureaucratic and governmental terms, given that each state and locality have their own Education departments and boards of education, I repeat, what is the actual function of a Federal level DoE and how does it differ from all of the others. Ditto every other bureau, department and agency with state and local counterparts. Ultimately, it is emblematic and symptomatic of the anti-American revolution vis a vis the consolidation and centralization of power in a geographic and governmental location running completely antithetical to the philosophical and structural underpinnings of how and why this nation was founded. The anti-DOGE reaction is not merely personal against Trump and now Musk. The most efficient and accountable government is one that is as decentralized as possible since it is or should be as close to the level of the citizen as practicable. GIven human nature, that does not 100% preclude corruption, waste, fraud or abuse, but it makes it that much more difficult and politically unprofitable to be a crook. Also, it's not merely the waste and the fraud, but it's what the money is being spent on in the first place. It is our own destruction and/or enslavement at the hands of tyrants with their go-along-to-get-along confederates who are happy to wet their beaks at the public trough, regardless of the consequences. Hello, GOP.

With all that said, you have to wonder what the heck Pam Bondi and Kash Patel are thinking in how they have handled the release of the Epstein files. With another huge cache of files supposedly set to be released either today or tomorrow, again, you have to wonder.

As I write this, Attorney General Bondi and FBI Director Patel seem to be hostage to rogue FBI leadership at the Bureau’s New York Field Office in a standoff over the Jeffrey Epstein files. If Bondi and Patel aren’t provided, and subsequently release to the public, these files immediately, they risk collapsing their own credibility and that of President Trump. They are playing a very dangerous game. . .
. . . So, now, we are told, AG Bondi and her underling, FBI Director Kash Patel, in whom we have all held such high hopes, are being thwarted by dastardly recalcitrant FBI leaders in New York. Seriously? Here’s a tip to AG Bondi and Director Patel: You are not doing your boss, President Trump, proud. In fact, if you don’t change your ways fast, you might represent for him the best opportunity to impress the rest of the populace with a post on Truth Social directed to you both that reads: “You’re fired!” Harsh? Maybe. But how about you stop making public pronouncements about your displeasure with FBINY, send five FBI SWAT teams up to the New York office, seize all FBI files related to Epstein, and if a single Bureau employee so much as raises a tiny whisper of protest, sack him/her on the spot? Sounds like a plan to me.

On a different front and on a more positive note, someone that most of us had trepidations about is Tulsi Gabbard. But here, and on something that is crucial, she gets it 100% right:

In a sane political environment, this would have passed as a decidedly unremarkable, albeit not quite one-hundred-percent accurate, observation. The U.S. Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, recently warned that “radical Islamist terrorism” is the biggest national security threat the nation faces today.
Gabbard said: “We look at the past four years of open borders, where we had tens of millions of people coming across our borders, many of whom we don’t know who they are or what their intentions are, very specifically the threat of radical Islamist terrorism here within our country is higher than it’s ever been before, not only because of Biden’s open borders, but because of his and his administration’s fear of being called Islamophobes.”
For Gabbard to speak of “radical Islamist terrorism” was not quite accurate, as there is nothing “radical” about Islamic jihad violence. It is mainstream and deeply rooted in the Qur’an and Sunnah. And “Islamist” is a phony word that corresponds to nothing in Islamic theology. It is just an attempt to distance Islam from the crimes done in its name and in accord with its teachings.
Nevertheless, her statement was a tremendous improvement over the Biden regime. FBI director Christopher Wray testified before members of the Senate Judiciary Committee in March 2021, saying: “The top threat we face from [domestic violent extremists] continues to be those we identify as Racially or Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremists (RMVEs), specifically those who advocate for the superiority of the white race.”

Indeed, as Robert Spencer alludes, "Radical Islamist Terrorism" is a triple redundancy given the nature of Islam as it has been for over 1,500 years. Of course the only reason to absolve by completely ignoring the bloodbath unleashed on this nation alone by the adherents of Islam and claim some mythological white supremacist movement exists as an ever-rpesent threat to the survival of this nation is for Islam's temporary allies of convenience in the Democrat Left to slime and smear those who oppose the multi-generational Leftist enterprise of anti-American counter revolution in the name of gaining absolute power. That is until whoever God-forbid becomes the mullah of and Islamic Republic of America gets around to using the rusty hacksaw on the necks of the Democrats. They'll be first to go since their ranks are chock full of Jews, homosexuals and other Haram infidels/apostates or whatever that will be given their one free Islamic flying lesson from off the top of the Capitol Dome during the renaming of Washington as Wahabbington DC.

In any case, we can certainly blame Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants, Obama and the Clintons for literally whitewashing Islam. But really, with the ruins of the World Trade Center and Pentagon still smoldering just after 9/11/01, when George W. Bush unilaterally declared we were not at war with Islam despite the orgasmic ululations of glee and the passing out of candy and wild celebrations in every Mosque around the world and every Muslim neighborhood here and abroad, you knew we were in trouble.

Also, as a bit of a teaser, Robert Spencer will be our special guest on the next edition of the podcast which should be posting sometime this Friday afternoon so be on the lookout for that.

Perhaps as crucial as Tulsi Gabbard's declaration is Mike Johnson will have a freed Israeli hostage as his guest for President Trump's national address tonight:

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson has unveiled his full guest list for President Trump’s first address to Congress this term — including key border officials, conservative media figures and a former Israeli hostage.
Johnson, 52, is bringing Noa Argamani, who endured 246 days in Hamas captivity, to observe Trump’s speech to a joint session of both chambers Tuesday.
“I am honored that Noa Argamani will be joining us at President Trump’s Joint Address to Congress,” Johnson told The Post. “Despite experiencing the unimaginable in the hands of Hamas, Noa has demonstrated incredible strength and courage.” “Her return gives us hope for the safe return of all Hamas hostages,” he added. “We must continue to work to bring each of them home and stand firm against those who commit such atrocities.”

In a bit of positive news, a Yemeni journalist actually blasted the United Nations for the targeting of Israel.

Well, a tiny flame in a sea of darkness. It's something, I guess. Yes, high time got the hell out of the UN and NATO.

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.

The late smart black cat Marie-Antoinette turned out to be a boy with cryptorchidism, so I guess her vet can be partly forgiven for "misgendering" her. We didn't find out she'd been born male (but with a female identity, heh) until she was almost ten years old. Imagine our shock. She was perfectly healthy and happy, and lived to be thirteen.

She was way ahead of her time -- a gender-fluid cat!

37 AG Bondi and FBI Director Patel’s handling of the Epstein files reeks of weak-kneed bureaucracy—Trump may need to remind them how to "get 'er done" or show them the door.

--

This is sort of depressing. Not counting Bondi (whom I don't really know enough about), but WTH on Patel? Could he have presented himself any more bad a** on how he would handle the FBI? More straight forward and sure-footed on what the problems are and what needs to be done to fix it all? Sure, we're not privvy to what's going on behind the scenes, but if Patel turns out to be a swing and big miss, what then? Can anyone do anything with this dangerously rogue agency at this point? He seemed a perfect fit for the job.

The top players in the WTA would be beaten by top male college players (I believe Serena Williams proved this a few years back… and she’s an all-time great).

And yet everywhere I turn on TV these days I see women’s college basketball, women’s college gymnastics… even women’s college soccer. Boring

it's foolish to do otherwise or let the woke worries of the left world make decisions when it comes down to global markets or other physical realities of basic human needs. But that's their M.O. Being so focused on their own selfish transient upper middle class worries, they can't see the forest and it ends up catching on fire.

It took a Democrat only six weeks to call Trump a traitor, on TV. There are few insults left for them to go lower with, with 202 weeks to go. Now I expect the NYT will soon publish a story by some paid stooge that PDT sexually abused him/her while in kindergarten, 45 years ago.

108 >>Speaking to Fox News host Sean Hannity on Tuesday night, Bondi confirmed that a "truckload" of Epstein files were delivered by the FBI after she gave the agency until 8 a.m. on Friday morning to deliver.

>>Bondi said that officials will go through the files "as fast as we can," while also being careful to protect Epstein's victims.

For the record, I'm not in favor of impeaching Trump because he said Zelensky was going to sign a minerals deal last week and he didn't ruining the rollout of his peace plan.

I have no idea why anyone on this side would be ready to throw Bondi and Patel to the wolves after a minor setback when we are asking them to take on the most corrupt agency in the US government. I doubt this is going to be the last bump in the road over the next 4 years.

109 If Trump doesn't give any more financial support to Zippy, the Ukrainian Tyrant, there's no possible way for it to continue. The rest of the EU combined don't have the resources to fund him. No more Vogue covers or shopping sprees for Mrs. Zippy. Perhaps me and my armchair views are wrong, but I just don't see how this charade continues without the US.

Crockett is maliciously insane, lives a life of delusion and lies and should be ignored.

I forgot that back in 2023, and effective as of Jan 1, 2025 , Texas changed the vehicle inspection laws so that those of us in non-emission checking counties could completely avoid annual inspections for non commercial vehicles.

So I drive up to my usual haunt, the place is closed with some dude loading a trailer. I ask "No inspections today?"

He then broke down into this sarcastic rant about how Trump fired 5126 inspectors and ruined the vehicle inspection business.

115 It may seem like we need to give Bondi and Patel a few months to get things started, I very much disagree. The first stage of new leadership, new situations, etc are the most critical. It establishes who you are, who the other parties are, and sets the tone and strategy going forward.

Trump gets this. If Bondi/Patel are letting themselves get stonewalled and in such a highly public way, then they aren't in charge. If they are relying on their job titles, they will lose.

154 I'm not particularly concerned about "Islamic terrorism" in America, regardless of the gaslighting that on the right that I should be.

As the first few months of DoGE and other activities have shown and will continue to show, it is the American government, the central banking system and their corporate partners that are responsible for the death and destruction of the American citizen.

Audits show the American government steals more money than every gang of street thugs. The American government created CoVID and killed millions worldwide. The American government reads my emails and texts. The American government censors my speech. The American government orders me to kill my chickens. The American government runs pedophile honey trap operations. The American government arrests citizens and imprisons them for 4 years on bogus insurrection charges. I could go on for days and days and days with this list.

Would I prefer to have a nation without Islamic radicals? Sure, who wouldn't, including Arabs. But the American government funds and arms those, too,

Personally, I would fire all of them for wasting time and money on that endeavor, but the Epstein files can be a university forensics project to replace funded projects like mating habits of grey squirrels under the influence of crack.

It's not so much that they "screwed up."

It's that they've (particularly Bondi) come across as naïve.

So... did Bondi herself review and redact with a sharpie the tranche of documents provided by the FBI? Or was this something done by her staff? It's a relevant question because you have to wonder why there was no WFT moment if all there was was previously released data. I mean, nobody thought to question what they had in their hands?

Even if Bondi and/or her staff had the majority of the Epstein files and made a decision to keep some of it from the public why not just come out and say "there's more, but not right now."

And then, given all that, stage a cringe worthy dog and pony show with right wing influencers holding pre-printed binders.

Bondi deserves criticism. Patel was colleterial damage.

219 Trump orders swathes of US forests to be cut down for timber. The President’s move to expand tree cutting across 280m acres evades rules to protect endangered species. This move is similar to recent instructions by Trump to use a rarely-used committee to push through fossil fuel projects even if they imperil at-risk species. Experts have said this overriding of the Endangered Species Act is probably illegal.

Handing over the entire US to the billionaires and corporations. It is not Trump's land to give away. It belongs to the American people.

These projects will immediately get tied up in court. Any company taking on those contracts is going to be in a boondoggle...which serves them right.

He also invoked national security? You mean you want to tarrif Canada and have it not affect the price? We do realize that that is a short term solution right? There is only so much timber. We could continue normal relations like we’ve had for decades but no, let’s shit on Canada and cut down our forests.

what we're/they're actually dealing with are are hardened longterm criminals who knowingly have violated their oath of office and their profession both in the past and currently,(and for who? A buncha pedos and grifters?) and who are still in place.

While there are more than likely good folk at the lower levels, probably everyone near the top knows the shenanigans and violations going on and who's responsible for them.

Firings need to occur..wholesale scraping off the top layer of bureaucrats if necessary and charges brought if it can be proven that they are violating the law by hiding disclosure of the Epstein Pedo Criminal Posse.

If I'm being generous, I think the public announcement of the Epstein file release was like DOGE announcing where they were going next and what they found. The disclosure of Resistard Activity in the FBI/DOJ provides clear reasons for firings to the public.

260 250 219 Trump orders swathes of US forests to be cut down for timber. The President’s move to expand tree cutting across 280m acres evades rules to protect endangered species. This move is similar to recent instructions by Trump to use a rarely-used committee to push through fossil fuel projects even if they imperil at-risk species. Experts have said this overriding of the Endangered Species Act is probably illegal.

These people really do not hear themselves, do they? The people employed to cut down trees and supply logging companies are "The American People."

It is comical, the thought process from the left is...

1) If we take money from the taxpayers and spend it overseas it is doing "good" so it is ok if it enriches us and people out side of the US

2) If we leave money, resources, etc, in the hands of Americans it is bad because bad Americans will profit from it

Inherent in this is the left's belief they are good because they are leftist, that they are "working class" even if they have effective salaries well over 6 figures, and that the American people don't want jobs because it would take time away from fun-ployment

Serbia/Kosovo is a place where Trump could actually solve an ongoing issue, free up US troops, and fuck over NATO and the Europeans.

NATO troops (including lots of US troops) have been their since 1999, ostensibly keeping the peace until a diplomatic resolution to their conflict is reached. Serbia has ties to Kosovo's land, but primarily wants to keep their ally Russia happy by fucking with NATO and keeping Kosovo from joining NATO (like most other Balkans nations have). Europe likes the easy, safe deployment to Kosovo for its troops to justify NATO's existence, and the excuse to not allow Kosovo to join the EU, because they fear a flood of poor Albanians into their countries.

The left has focused on egg prices, because of course one of Biden's flunkies killed 10M chickens right before Trump fired her - I forget her name but the FNM of course gave her an oration without mentioning she personally was driving egg/chicken prices

I hope Trump brings that specific point up, notes it will take a while for our chicken population to "recoup" and says he and DOGE will never let the government engage in such destructive policies again

Are they really "victims"? Maybe they were set up, but just going to the island, they should have known what the "game" was.

Depending on how young the girls were, the statutory rape part should have been obvious as well. (or was the age of consent 12, on the island?) As if the adultery (for most of them) itself was not bad enough.

Their leaders, maybe, but many rank and file Dem voters believe they are morally justified, on the right side of history, protecting the most vulnerable minority communities from the evil oppression of the majority. A large chunk of their constituents are bored, empty, semi-successful professionals (the typical AWFL) who wants to feel like a rebellious hero girl boss, valiantly fighting an evil oppressor to find some kind of meaning in their otherwise easy life.

So, they invent victims (trans kids) and oppressors (white christofascist oligarchs) to post and protest about in a form or virtuous, no-risk slacktivism.

391 I'm not sure Tulsi Gabbard is 100% correct.

I'm more concerned about the Chinese infiltrations, like the state-within-a-state Gestapo they had (still have?) in New York. About the malware and spyware they've been putting into both software and hardware. The surveillance they've been doing, with four years to put things in place. And the longer-term sleeper cells of Chinese citizens finding a place in the USA, making a life until the time their motherland calls upon them.

That said, Islamists are a much bigger issue than most white Christian guys. Especially if you exclude members of, and those employed by, the FBI.

Also, trans*-cult members. There's a spike of killings by the mentally unstable. The sheer fact that law enforcement, politicians, and their media have covered up a lot of their murders is a problem. "See something, Say something" rings hollow when they were censoring people about the say part. The number of incidents may be few, but given the population of that group is few as well, there's some sort of pattern, and it needs to be worked on so others, including the trans* folk themselves, don't get hurt or killed.

417 404 I have no idea why anyone on this side would be ready to throw Bondi and Patel to the wolves after a minor setback when we are asking them to take on the most corrupt agency in the US government.
_____

The problem with Bondi is that she reviewed the Epstein files, told everyone they were a big deal, then released what she had reviewed, it was a flop, and then she claims the NY office screwed her. How does that happen? She REVIEWED the damned documents before she released them. Is she a moron?

418 “Today, we find ourselves in the middle of a battle of our own, as good people are being walked out of the F.B.I. and others are being targeted because they did their jobs in accordance with the law and F.B.I. policy,”

You bragged about how you were going to RESIST!!! Trump. That is not your job. Your office was told by a lawful authority to provide information and you refused. The good people left already. All that is left are folks like you.

I am tired of stonewalling and 'resistance.' I want arrests, jail terms and, where required, death sentences. And yes, I know the whole Man For All Seasons trope, but I don't care. Either the Democrat party is stamped out of existence or Trump's term is nothing but a Pyrrhic victory.

423 Head of FBI New York division forced to retire after telling agents he was prepared to ‘dig in’

Dennehy’s departure announcement comes days after Attorney General Pam Bondi alleged that the FBI’s New York field office withheld thousands of pages of additional documents related to accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. In a letter to FBI Director Kash Patel last week, Bondi demanded an investigation into why the documents were hidden.

“I’ve been told many times in my life, ‘When you find yourself in a hole, sometimes it’s best to quit digging.’ Screw that. I will never stop defending this joint. I’ll just do it willingly and proudly from outside the wire,” Dennehy added.

The great majority of evidence on the listing was Type 1B, General or Digital. Type 1D was ELSUR (Electronic Surveillance Database). No Type 1E evidence was seen within the listing but vision is wonky so I could have missed it. Or, there simply wasn't any within the released listing.

Investigation into the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida’s Resolution of Its 2006–2008 Federal Criminal Investigation of Jeffrey Epstein and Its Interactions with Victims during the Investigation November 2020

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Department of Justice (Department) Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) investigated allegations that in 2007-2008, prosecutors in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida (USAO) improperly resolved a federal investigation into the criminal conduct of Jeffrey Epstein by negotiating and executing a federal non-prosecution agreement (NPA). The NPA was intended to end a federal investigation into allegations that Epstein engaged in illegal sexual activity with girls.1 OPR also investigated whether USAO prosecutors committed professional misconduct by failing to consult with victims of Epstein’s crimes before the NPA was signed or by misleading victims regarding the status of the federal investigation after the signing.

432 review/appeal can't be released, AND agreements made after Epstein's death are also restrictive. Correct? (Not a lawyer.) What does that leave & how many offices are holding documents &/or have 'retired' files? ("You don't know what you don't know." And, it takes a while to learn within the Fed. government. 😈

I'm going to start my own blog in the near future but I'm having a hard time choosing
between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something completely unique.
P.S Apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
