The Morning Report — 4/ 18 /25

Good GOOD FRIDAY morning kids!

Can the Democrats be so utterly clueless and tone-deaf or is it something else? Does Chris Van Hollen really think that sucking down margaritas with this criminal illegal alien in El Salvador, who has been linked to human trafficking as well as being accused of beating his wife is going to win friends and influence the electorate? Well, if Hillary Clinton, Jasmine Crockett and every other execrable Democrat wants to make this the hill to die on, who are we to oppose them. They painted themselves into this corner because they cannot concede an inch that President Trump might be right in any way shape or form.

And whatever legal procedural process may or may not have been violated in removing this fiend from our country, regardless of his violent criminal record and association with gangs are, the salient point is, from my knowledge of the law, he and other foreigners are not afforded the same due process rights as actual American citizens on American soil. His mere presence here is a crime that is punishable by immediate deportation. He may have been accidentally deported to the wrong country, but that should not mean he must be returned here. Send him back to his country of birth so he can help enrich their heritage. What has the Left shrieked about? We're deporting people who will cure cancer and invent the next great thing or some such rot.

While it's encouraging that illegal border crossings are way down and deportations and arrests even at businesses that employ illegals are up, I want to see the actual employers arrested, charged, tried, convicted and then fined heavily and/or imprisoned. That would deter the invasion like no wall ever could, IMHO.

I'll keep it short this morning but I want to wish all of you a most joyous and blessed Easter in advance. Have a great weekend.
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.

Team Trump's legal filing didn't pull any punches. It meticulously detailed how Boasberg's ruling attempts to usurp executive authority that the Supreme Court explicitly confirmed just last month. The 5-4 decision authorized these deportation flights, but apparently, left-wing district court judges think they can override the Supreme Court because “Orange man bad.”

THE ECONOMY, STUPID
The ECB [European Central Bank] is expected to cut interest rates for the 7th time, and yet, “Too Late” Jerome Powell of the Fed, who is always TOO LATE AND WRONG, yesterday issued a report which was another, and typical, complete “mess!” Oil prices are down, groceries (even eggs!) are down, and the USA is getting RICH ON TARIFFS. Too Late should have lowered Interest Rates, like the ECB, long ago, but he should certainly lower them now. Powell’s termination cannot come fast enough!
Can Trump Actually Remove Jerome Powell as Fed Chair?
Trump hinted at moving to fire Powell, whose term does not expire until next year. The Republican president’s broadside comes a day after Powell said in a speech that Trump’s broad-based tariffs have left the Federal Reserve seeking “greater clarity” on the impact of policy changes in areas such as immigration, taxation, regulation and tariffs before making the move on interest rates.

Blame Regulators for Holding Back U.S. Manufacturing—Not Tariffs
The U.S. labor market showcased its strength as the Department of Labor reported a decline in jobless claims on April 17, 2025. Applications for unemployment benefits fell by 9,000 to 215,000 for the week ending April 12, outperforming analysts’ expectations of 225,000 new claims. This drop underscores a robust labor market that continues to thrive as President Trump implements tariffs to protect and revitalize American industry.

Tariffs Won’t Solve Washington’s Biggest Problem: Overspending
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is visiting the United States on Thursday to engage in trade negotiations with President Donald J. Trump, with the aim of reducing tariffs on European exports. The meeting comes in the wake of Trump’s “Liberation Day” announcement imposing reciprocal tariffs on foreign governments with barriers limiting the purchase of American exports, including a 20 percent trade duty on goods from the European Union (EU).

According to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Southwest Land Border Encounters Report for March, Border Patrol agents arrested 15,527 migrants who illegally crossed the border from Mexico into the United States during the first two full months of the Trump administration. This compares to the apprehension of 278,114 during the same period under the Biden administration last year. Encounters fell from 4,635 per day in February and March 2024 to 263 per day this year.

Worksite enforcement actions were ended during the Biden administration under the direction of then-Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. In an October 2021 memorandum ordering ICE to cease large-scale immigration worksite enforcement raids, Mayorkas criticized the use of the raids as an enforcement tool saying, “The deployment of mass worksite operations, sometimes resulting in the simultaneous arrest of hundreds of workers, was not focused on the most pernicious aspect of our country’s unauthorized employment challenge: exploitative employers.” (We need to start arresting and prosecuting the employers - jjs)

Knife wielding, teen stabbing, school shooting, wife beating, drug dealing illegal aliens, troons and hood rats alike are to be praised and uplifted while all others are to be put down, criticized and ostracized as h8ters, rayciss and YT supremacists for daring to even speak the truth. The people that vote for and support them would be right at home in Cambodia in 1975.

48 The 4th Circuit opinion refusing to stay Xinis' order is a beauty.

Rarely but ever in any opinion will you see an appellate court use such flowery or effusive language.
It's a pretty disgusting "opinion" that embarrasses all decorum.

Not just the massive breach in referring to the "fine" judge (it's always, always "the court" because it's an office held not a nobility owned) but worse--nothing in the opinion is based on the record before the court nor a discussion of the applicable Constitutional implications.

The entire MSNBC-worthy screed can be boiled down to: We will teach Orange Man Bad to bow before us.

As we have found out through DOGE a lot of these illegals have legitimate social cards/numbers. My mother(Mexican) was sent to classes by a pillow manufacturing company(Reno, NV) on how to spot fake SS cards. None of the shit taught in classes was applicable and didn't work. The only way she could sniff these illegals out was they'd forget "their" name when she'd call them to the office over the PA, "Rosita Conchita Chihuahua to the office'........no response. My mother(stepmom) being Mexican was seen as a race traitor by her fellow hispanics and had to be escorted out of the building by my father with his 45 because local police were not timely in responding.

69 Powell may have some hate for Trump, idk. But "market players" are hoping for the easy money policy again, so they can push the over-priced market ever higher. There has been talk about when the "pivot" (to lowering rates) will happen.

But rates are still historically low. Instead of easy money enabling Wall Street to dominate, imo the reciprocal tariffs and rebuilding Main Street, along with USA manufacturing is a better path. Easy Al Greenspan (and others) enabled Wall Street riches, making the rich much richer, while middle/lower classes stagnated.

The role of the fed is stable currency, not enriching the rich via cheap money for the gamblers. A little weaker dollar might help us, but USD is still considered the safe harbor in troubled times.

Listen assholes:
1) It's "We the People." Not "We the judges." We--WE the People--get to say how this country is run. Not you.
2) You need to understand this:
Ten years ago, almost no one would have supported impeachment merely over rulings they disagreed with.
But because you dumb bitches so squandered your authority and legitimacy, bowing down to the Democrats over Covid, the 2020 Election and J6 to cause this.
That's what you should be horrified and offended by--not the People calling for impeachment, but the explosive growth of support to reach a majority for such.

You are not the Brave Hero defending the Republic--you are craven cowards clawing and scraping with every lie, deceit, deception and dishonesty you can muster to protect the the exiting corrupt order that has ignored and usurped the will of the people for decades.

From what I read they can build a system for about 10% of the cost of true AI.
This issue is that the system they built was "trained" by a true AI system on what are the "right" answers.

119 >> James Carville is suggesting the party sue David Hogg, the newly elected vice chair of the Democrat National Committee (DNC), over his Leaders We Deserve group’s intention to use its $20 million war chest to support younger Democratic candidates running against incumbents. The long-time Clinton campaign aide, appearing Wednesday night on NewsNation with Chris Cuomo, argued Hogg’s move to back candidates in Democratic primaries goes against the responsibilities of Hogg’s role within the DNC.“

Oh, hey, does anyone remember back in 2016 when the DNC was millions in debt, so Hillary Clinton gave the DNC millions, and - get this! - the Debbie Wasserman-Schulz then spent that money shafting Bernie/ensuring Hillary got the presidential nomination?

I guess Carville only hates this kinda stuff when it's not his pals doing it. . .

Still no retraction of her false accusations of stolen valor. I don't know what to do next and no one will help me. As I see it, I have three choices.

1) walk away. Not going to happen, and it's not my flag to surrender anyway

2) libel lawsuit, which costs time and money, is not a sliver bullet and opens me up to countersue lawfare. I screenshotted everything and I think I would prevail, but filing would preclude:

3) resorting to violence, as I would be on record as primary suspect.

So looks like I need to either trust the legal system or start working up range cards. If anyone sees a better path, please let me know.

They already all are.

It's an administrative process because deportation is not irreparable harm. If you're here legally with a Passport or green card, you can hop back on a plane and come back. If you're illegally here, well, you're gone and the administration kicking you out is the right, legal action.

It's the executive branch asking, "Where's your proof that you're allowed to be here? None? Gone."

There was a budget fight in a town near me - the town had used "emergency COVID funds" to hire a bunch of permanent bureaucrats so when the emergency ended they "needed" a massive tax increase, mostly to balance the school budget.

One of the opponents of the tax increase had noted that over ten years the number of kids in school was down 33% but in that time the school budget had doubled. And...the proponents alternated in arguing it was because of inflation (and then that inflation didn't exist) and that the old spending levels were racist.

If you think American white or black people are going to work for the kind of pay laborers get right now. A great many single hispanic male laborers live 3-4 in a home. Families live together as well. I see it day in a day out. After a year, they move out. For a long time the illegals never had bank accounts. they also went to the emergency rooms instead of Dr's offices. they didn't let themselves be accountable. They have it down pat.

They continue under this delusion that the judges could affect the return at all.

The judges pushing this are pushing a fantasy and no more.

The worst a judge can do now is holding executive officials in contempt which will end up being meaningless. Criminal contempt gets pardoned. Civil contempt gets no DOJ backing for prosecution.

And that's assuming that SCOTUS isn't going to slap all of this down (they are, hearings on lower courts overstepping their bounds are scheduled in front of SCOTUS in about a month...even ACB has been writing for years about how the lower courts are out of control).

Scientists have discovered the strongest evidence yet of life outside Earth—a molecule linked to biological activity on a distant exoplanet

unusual_whales @unusual_whales
Astronomers say they have found the strongest indication of life beyond our solar system, on a planet 124 light-years from Earth called ‘K2-18b.’

While they have not yet declared the finding of life, they detected “potential biosignatures” that are typically produced by living organisms such as marine algae.

Mr Shelby @mrshelby101
Detection of Potential Biosignatures: JWST observations revealed the presence of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) in K2-18b's atmosphere.

On Earth, these compounds are produced solely by living organisms, particularly marine phytoplankton. The concentrations detected are thousands of times higher than those found in Earth's atmosphere, suggesting a possible biological origin.

Hey @grok how many human years would this trip take

Grok @grok 4h
A trip to K2-18b, 124 light-years away, would take about 2.186 million years with current spacecraft like Voyager 1, traveling at 17 km/s. Even with hypothetical advanced propulsion, reaching 10-20% of light speed, it would still take 620-1,240 years, far beyond human lifespans. Interstellar travel remains impractical due to vast distances and technological limits.

Andy lives in Canuckistan, which isn't faring well with Trump's tariffs due to no good negotiators in their government. Sorry that you have to deal with that, Andy. Your Parliament never has even majority support from Canadians, I know.

It has been oppressed in the UK for seemingly decades now and it does not seem to be faring well there at all.

Granted, I don't know what "fares best" really means.

Christianity has been oppressed here in the USA for decades as well and I would not say it has been faring well here either. Catholic Church here seems to be entirely left-wing, supporting all left-wing causes (global warming, BLM, illegal aliens, gender madness, LGBTQ+ nonsense, abortion, etc.). Christianity in general seems to be more about gaining followers rather than preaching the Bible's teachings and principles. See that "He Gets Us" campaign, for example.

Then of course there are all the denominations which support LGBTQ+ nonsense and support abortion.
