The Morning Report — 5/ 5 /25

Good morning kids. Well after terrorists started mass forest fires in Israel, the Houthis launched missiles which landed very near to Ben Gurion airport in Tel Aviv. The Houthis, along with Hamas, Hezbollah and many other terror groups are backed and in most cases directed by the Mullahs in Tehran.

The Houthi missile hit just 75 meters from Terminal 3 at Ben Gurion Airport, narrowly avoiding a direct strike that could have triggered a full-scale war. . .
. . .In mid-March, President Donald Trump ordered a “decisive and powerful military action” against the Houthis, resulting in a wave of U.S. airstrikes against key terrorist targets in Yemen.

Since Jimmy Carter allowed the Mullahs to take control of Iran 45 years ago, Israel, America and much of the west have endured bloody terrorist attacks that have left hundreds of innocent people dead and maimed.

As far as triggering a full-scale war, with Iran still moving closer and closer to a nuclear bomb, sooner or later there indeed will be either a preemptive strike or heaven forbid a much more devastating retaliatory strike by Israel on Tehran that could involve the major powers.

That they have gotten this far, despite Israel's best efforts to derail them is directly attributable to Jimmy Carter as well as the preternatural Israel hatred and anti-Semitism that has been endemic to the denizens of Foggy Bottom going back to Cordell Hull that continues to this day, despite the efforts of Donald Trump to cleanse it and the rest of DC of the globalist Deep State.

Regardless of President Trump's tough stance vis a vis the Houthis and this insane effort at negotiations which will accomplish nothing, except give Iran time and cover to complete the building of their bomb.
That the President is playing the negotions game is very disheartening, unless he's got cards he's not showing and, despite the fact that the Mullahs have got to go for the sake of preventing a regional if not a global war that could easily go nuclear, the idea of American armed forces engaging directly against Iran for me is a very bright red line.

Frankly, I fear Trump and or his team do not understand who they are dealing with. And that is individuals whose minds and black hearts are planted firmly in the 15th century. Those who believe that bringing about Armageddon will directly pave the way for the conquest and subjugation of the world as an Islamic planet for all time.

America has spent over a decade attempting to negotiate with the Islamic Republic of Iran. From Obama’s JCPOA to Trump’s “maximum pressure” campaign and now renewed talks under Trump’s second term, the pattern remains: Iran makes promises it doesn’t keep, while the U.S. oscillates between diplomacy and sanctions.
Washington still doesn’t grasp the fundamental truth: the mullahs don’t keep promises—except those made to Allah. . .
. . . Now, in Trump’s second term, the signals are scrambled. After running on a platform of toughness, the administration has stunned observers by floating new talks with Iran—even sending a personal message to Supreme Leader Khamenei through unofficial channels. . .
. . . Just recently, Iran accused the U.S. of “contradictory behavior and provocative statements,” citing backchannel proposals followed immediately by Treasury sanctions on Iranian banks and officials. Meanwhile, Trump himself stated in a campaign-style rally that “we will never let Iran go nuclear,” while his administration quietly signals openness to a “limited freeze” in exchange for sanctions relief. The result? Strategic incoherence. Tehran smells weakness—and buys time.

Don't get me wrong. I am a huge fan of President Trump, especially with what he has been able to do in just his first 100 days despite the rhetorical slings and arrows and literal bullets, of outrageous fortune hurled against him. But With this Iran garbage, and his actions with Zelensky and Putin, I get a nagging suspicion that he's angling for a Nobel Prize. Even if he were successful in stopping that war or preventing Iran from starting World War 3, does he think he'd even be given the recognition, considering he is regarded as the second coming of Adolf Hitler by the same global elites whom he craves recognition?

I hope to God I'm wrong, because the stakes are so insanely high.

Just give Israel the logistical and intel support it needs and it can get the job done. The question is what job? Striking nuclear weapons sites or the reactors? That in and of itself would be problematic to say the least. But from what I have read, Iran's faltering economy along with the insanity of the mad Mullahs and a severe water crisis has only fueled the Persian citizenry's decades-long hatred of their government, so perhaps crippling their oil refineries and electrical grid could lead to the long awaited regime change.

Will we get what we got in Syria by swapping out the Baathists for an ISIS offshoot or does Iran's future hold even the slightest glimmer of hope for a stable and sane non-Islamic government.

We'll have to wait and see, I suppose.

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.

Have a great day.

Israel has struck Houthi targets in Yemen in previous responses. However, it is possible that Israel will target Iran instead, since Iran arms and funds the Houthis and is heavily involved in their ballistic missile attacks.

The changes to the manned part of NASA’s budget make great sense. The
goal appears to be to get rid of NASA projects that cost too much and

NASA was able to accomplish quite a lot with that amount of money, so this is not as draconian as many will certainly claim. Moreover, if the agency is streamlined properly as it appears the Trump administration wishes, it will likely be able to do more with less.

Conservatives were stunned with a 674 seat loss.

Nigel Farage has hailed Reform UK's gains in Thursday's elections as "unprecedented" and "the end of two-party politics". The party also won two mayoral races and added a fifth MP to its ranks in the Runcorn.

33 The only practical solution to the illegals is dry up the money. Really enforce, with heavy penalties, laws against employing illegals. Make it really hurt. If you get two guys in the Lowes parking lot to unload some 2X4s, you get it as bad as a small poultry processor employing 50. Also, no mas money going back to the old country, most of it being installment payments to the traffickers.

34 “Northrop Grumman had won a contract to overhaul this system; by the time Shah saw the whiteboard, the company had spent $745 million – twice the original estimate – over ten years with nothing to show for it, and the Air Force was now asking Congress for more. ”

Kaplan reports that Shah connected with “a small Silicon Valley firm” that developed “a working product … in four months, at a cost of $1.5 million.” Needless to say, “they faced intense resistance from the Air Force officer managing the Northrop Grumman program and from staffers on the House subcommittee overseeing the defense budget.”

36 Of of the problems with destroying all of the weapons the Houthis have is not technical in nature... it's the size of the area, Yemen specifically, at allows truck mounted UAV's (drones) and missiles to be launched in minutes, from an area roughly the size of the UK.

Iran supplies the Houthis with these weapons. By the boatload. They're vulnerable when being shipped.

We're bombing them after they arrive in Yemen.

My thoughts:

We need the places to manufacture. The best way to handle it would be massive installation of the needed facilities without government doing anything other than getting out of the way and letting it happen.

We will need people able to do the work and the training to do it. Which means we have two years at most if the Democrats get power and stop this from happening.

I'm really not convinced that Byrd was wrong in shooting Babbit.

Was the door locked and Babbit tried to get through the broken glass opening in the door? Was the area behind the door where Byrd was positioned a gateway to areas further in which needed to remain secure?

Did Byrd have any idea whether the crowd on the other side of the door was hostile or not and did that matter after seeing the attempted forced entering through the door?

Also, I've seen police/court case documents released, showing that Babbit was carrying a knife. Even if Byrd didn't know that, this overall entry of non-secured persons and items into the Capitol is indicative of the potential unknown threats that a policeman could consider under those unusual circumstances.

Now I've done it!

Dispensationalists definitely believe in a Rapture where Rapture Enthusiasts are spared the inconvenience of seven years of hell on earth. So what is going on where the faithful are congregating? Don't you believe in a literal thousand year rule where Jesus is making blood animal sacrifices to Himself in the Temple (ref Ezekiel). Then after a thousand years the opposition gets uppity, Jesus, the Almighty Creator God, can't seem to keep order over their "Free Will" to rebel and then he jails their leader and minions forever and kills everyone else?

Then what happens? "A new heaven and new earth" what happened to the old one? (hint: read Peter)

FWIW, I seem to recall that the fake protester, John Sullivan, was right by Babbitt when she was shot and filmed it. He's the guy who is an antifa protester, who was filmed changing clothes while in the Capitol, and that night went on CNN and interviewed as a journalist.

I have always assumed shooting Babbitt was intended to start violence from the J6 protesters so that the people who organized this whole thing (Pelosi et al) could have their "violent insurrection" inside.

That is an outright lie. Only sects of Western Evangelicals believe in an earthly thousand years reign. Unless some post Vatican II Roman Catholics have departed the faith, Rome has their own Amillennial eschatology that looks nothing like the Darby/Scofield hallucination tells us.

Confessional Protestants: Lutherans, Presbyterians, Reformed Baptist (LCF), Methodists (those that aren't fully apostate) have a form of Amillennialsm. Its only Baptists and other credo-baptist denominations that hold to a Pre millennial form and a subset layer on the Dispensational heresy.

She was climbing through a broken side window, whether or not she did or did not have a knife on her is not-germaine.

The main issues with J6 is that it was an Op and it's also been politicized to a maximal extent.

We don't even know what Bird's ROE instructions were or for the area he was guarding.

For all we know, he had orders to shoot to kill anyone entering his area of protection and at the end of the day, if you are an officer, you have discretion to STK upon perceived threats to your life or the lives of others, especially if he was guarding VIP's or private congressional areas.

Now we can get into the weeds of whether or not Babbit was a threat, but that's largely extraneous.

Beyond the grotesque implications of us building Iran's bomb is another chilling implication. I remember from way long ago reading that scientists can learn the origin of the uranium used in an atomic bomb by analyzing the radioactive fallout. You can just bet that if Iran sneaks one into US or Europe and it's determined to be of US uranium it will take about 15 minutes for the media to blame it on Israel.

97 The Internal Affairs Division also conducted a different interview with another Capitol Police officer on Jan. 6, who was positioned directly behind Byrd in the Speaker’s Lobby during the shooting of Babbitt.

"He did not see Ms. McEntee [Babbitt] in possession of any potential weapons," the summary report states.

"He reiterated that he did not observe that she was armed."

98 92 Trump Rips Judiciary After Judge Nixes Mass Deportation Plan

--

Can we all agree that it's time to realize the activist courts are not going to allow Trump, and by extension the American people, to mass deport the illegals that should not be here? There is only one solution left, and that is to ignore the courts. Biden purposely ignored the law allowing them to crush through our borders. His admin even aided and abetted them. Ignore these rogue judges and get these people the hell out of here and back to where they came from.

114 >>>FWIW, I seem to recall that the fake protester, John Sullivan, was right by Babbitt when she was shot and filmed it. He's the guy who is an antifa protester, who was filmed changing clothes while in the Capitol, and that night went on CNN and interviewed as a journalist.

I have always assumed shooting Babbitt was intended to start violence from the J6 protesters so that the people who organized this whole thing (Pelosi et al) could have their "violent insurrection" inside.
Posted by: Lizzy at May 05, 2025 08:02 AM (ke82b)

He was filmed outside egging them on then went with them, accompanied by police upstairs. He was still motivating and filmed one of the many angles of the shooting. There is also video from above and behind him. That clip captures him facing Babbitt.
He was convicted of something related to those activities but only served a very short time. Like 3 days, in my mind.

I think if he really can keep all federal/state/local government benefits out of illegal hands, he will have more self-deport than expected...and for 4 years, we'll at least finally be adding zero to our total, so all of the direction of illegal counts will be downward, not upward, as we do add native population to our ranks...

116 >>We don't even know what Bird's ROE instructions were or for the area he was guarding.

For all we know, he had orders to shoot to kill anyone entering his area of protection and at the end of the day, if you are an officer, you have discretion to STK upon perceived threats to your life or the lives of others, especially if he was guarding VIP's or private congressional areas.

THIS.

And after the "Summer of love" BLM protests, and the 100+ day siege on the Porland federal building, that resulted in *no* violent BLM or antifa protesters being shot, I have always assumed the ROE were specific to that day/that particular event in order to achieve a specific political goal.

145 I’ve been around dispensationalists my entire life (29+ years) and I’ve never (never) heard the 4/5 thing from Zechariah so I guess we’ve run in different circles.

Since Evangelicals love Jews unconditionally, even to the point where people like John Hagee preach that Jews have their own alternate, Christ-rejecting, path to Heaven, the Zechariah passages are not taught from the pulpit. The Hermeneutic of Dispensationalism that pretends that the prophets spoke past their Hebrew contemporaries and to a generation of non-Jews not yet born; Zechariah 13 speaks of two thirds being destroyed (brain fart on my part regarding the 4/5ths).

Dispensationalism, like Evolution, isn't solid on its tenets, there are 3, 4, 5, 7 and 10 dispensation advocates. I think the most popular is the seven model now. So if your particular brand doesn't teach Zecharaiah as a holocaust then be thankful.

I think the theory is in two parts:

• Congress Critter lives are like royalty, must be comprehensively protected without any thought to cost.

• The same Congress Critters look at ~~pawns~~ soldiers as expendable with the underlying thought that if these soldiers valued their own lives, they would not have signed up for war.

201 The UK is on the brink of political chaos, with Prime Minister Keir Starmer's government arresting farmers, protesters, and even voters accused of "non-compliance" with Labour's increasingly unpopular policies. This crackdown began with Labour's new inheritance tax crackdown on farmland, forcing families to sell off their land just to pay the taxman. Over 300 farmers and protesters have been arrested, many without charge. Videos of tearful mothers, elderly landowners, and young agricultural workers being handcuffed and dragged away are now flooding social media, sparking outrage across the country.

King Charles, known for his quiet diplomacy, has reportedly warned the Prime Minister that he has lost the people. However, Starmer is not backing down, ordering tighter controls on protests, pushing for digital surveillance laws, and hinting at new restrictions on "disruptive political messaging." The public is now realizing that the two-party system has become arrogant, disconnected, and authoritarian when threatened.

@MikeBenzCyber

Based on conversations I am hearing in DC, the blocking points for
@USAEdMartin's confirmation are currently 5 REPUBLICAN Senators:
- Susan Collins
@SenatorCollins
- Thom Tillis
@SenThomTillis
- John Cornyn
@JohnCornyn
- Bill Cassidy
@SenBillCassidy
- Mitch McConnell
@SenMcConnell

This is President Trump’s nominee for DC’s Top Prosecutor. If these Senators delay Ed Martin’s confirmation for just 15 more days, the worst judge in the district, Judge Boasberg, will select DC’s prosecutor rather than the President we voted for.

We need immediate action from these 5 Senators, public statements from them if there is some explanation we’re not being told or if this information is incorrect (in which case I will happily retract and update this post), and primaries for them if indeed they run out the clock with no public explanation and instead hand the DC justice system over to its most corrupted judge.

He is an Egyptian-American and the founder of the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light (AROPL), not to be confused with the Ahmadiyya community discriminated against in Pakistan. He claims to be the Qa’im Al Muhammad, the reincarnation or second coming of Muhammad and the Mahdi (Messiah).

You know, I'm not convinced that the Iranians are wrong, in launching nukes, from a islamic world domination point of view.

While I don't expect Imam 66(or whatever) to come scurrying out of the well. I do expect a clever conman to fulfill that role.

Between the Euros hapless, cowardice and massive muslim invasion, a missile or two dropped there probably gets you total, abject surrender.

Thanks to Biden and the Democrats the US is loaded up still with terrorists both Chinese and muslim. We may be knocked out of game with our own problems.

Granted the Israelis could retaliate, but really given the size and population distribution, how many nukes before they are a functionally dead country?

The biggest problem for the Iranians, from their crazy point of view is the split in islam between the filterless, high nicotine muslims and the smooth, menthol, filtered muslims. No one will follow the other.

A great destabilization of the West and ME, fiery mess might be just hunky-dory from their point of view.

All of which is to say, Iran needs to be de-nuked and smashed up before they go any further down this path.

I’m not a fan of Mike Pence’s political views, but he did the right thing on January 6th, 2021. His action still serves as a stark reminder of how the Republican Party has (further) fallen.

give credit where credit is due, he stood up to Been A Dick Donald that day and put his life on the line, so on that note, he deserves that award. He's still a POS though.

I almost choked when I heard he was advised on this by Dan Quayle. To think, if not for Dan Quayle, Pence would have caved to Been A Dick Donald, so he deserves credit also.

This will infuriate trump. trump knows that he is far too cowardly to ever get such an award for himself. He will try to get revenge on everybody involved.

235 90 Wildly off topic but I've started reading True Grit. At one point Maddy or Mattie says she's never been one to crawfish when there are unpleasant things to be done.
I have no idea what the word crawfish means in that sentence. Can anyone clue me in?

Crawfish swim backwards, scuttle backwards into their hole when challenged. Maddy [sic] is indicating that she does not back off from something that needs to be done merely because it seems unpleasant, threatening, or dangerous.

237 Amusingly, if Pence did the right thing and announced he couldn't certify the vote until the questions of fraud where answered, I suspect The Steal would have still worked and it would have strengthened the left's hand.

"Oh fraud? Yes we had that investigation headed by Pence and he found none!"

Sort of similiar to the way the SC handled the fraud by refusing to take the case - again taking it and then just ignoring the fraud would have given the left a stronger hand.

Most of the blue states are dealing with budget problems that are mostly due to paying for the invasion. As Trump cuts off more federal aid to the invaders those states are going to have to spend more money on them.

Now...Trump needs to find ways to target the blue states for federal spending cuts and tax increases.

240 Abdullah Hashem Aba Al-Sadiq, commonly known as Abdullah Hashem, claims to be the “living successor of both Prophet Muhammad and Jesus Christ,” and his sermons bring “a divine message to the global Christian community.” He also claims to be “the successor to Simon Peter, the successor to Jesus Christ, the true and legitimate Pope.”

“Aba Al-Sadiq reveals that the vacancy of the Papal Throne is no accident, but a divine sign: the time has come for the rightful heir to assume his position,” his YouTube channel states. “As the true Pope and bearer of the Covenant, he calls upon the people of the Gospel to recognize the fulfillment of prophecy and return the Throne to whom it belongs. This is not merely a message—it is a call to truth, unity, and divine justice.”

The AROPL claims al-Hasan personally fulfills three “divine criteria” qualifying him and the Qa’im: being named in the last will, possessing exceptional knowledge, and advocating for God’s supremacy over human rule.

Not so much "white people" as Middle/Working Class People.

We of the Middle/Working Class people are the planners, the builders, the do-ers of society. In general, we are the law-obeyers and backbone of culture and society. With our families we are the engine of the nation and basically just want to be left alone in a stable, lawful nation to live our lives as we see fit.

When you get the M/W C, so worked up that, we actually start rioting, yes, you have trouble. Because we are the planners, the do-ers, the solvers of problems, and the solution will often involved lampposts.

The leftards call for a society of eternal turmoil and revolution for them to get wealthy may not work out for them the way they think if they get their wish.

It's sad and stupid and childish.

1) The left has a whole NGO/activist structure to groom people into doing type roles whereas all the right has are talking types roles and even many of them go to GOPe wastes like Goldberg or Kristol

2) Doing conservative things gets you cancelled if not imprisoned.

Ha. I bet he'll get off, or at least get a light sentence, if this is true.

And he should. I'm not saying it's good, but it's what should happen.

315 As far as the Muslim guy who claims -or his followers do- that he's the successor to Mohammed and Jesus Christ: First of, Mohammed's message was very- for lack of a better term at the moment "bipolar" , and secondly as a Christian. I don't need a successor to Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit is still working.

319 On Wednesday’s broadcast of NewsNation’s “On Balance,” Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) argued that President Donald Trump “continued to close the border,” after President Joe Biden “used his extraordinary powers, emergency powers to close down the border and the drop in border crossings started with President Biden, dramatically.”

321 Brother JJ and the rest of you fine Morons:

Trump just sanctioned Iran and all businesses that do business with Iran, namely China who Iran exports 90% of its oil to.

The goal imho is to incite the native populations to overthrow their own governments; Chinese people are growing very restless within China as they are out of work.

GHW Bush never punished China in 1989 and then rewarded them through today.

322 The inability of American politicians to grasp the sheer "otherness" of certain foreign regimes, particularly those run by fanatics who adhere to an alien belief system, has always been one of our weaknesses.

323 Good morning, all, and thanks, J.J.

"Meanwhile, Trump himself stated in a campaign-style rally that “we will never let Iran go nuclear,” while his administration quietly signals openness to a “limited freeze” in exchange for sanctions relief. The result? Strategic incoherence. Tehran smells weakness—and buys time."

OTOH, U.S. Senator John Fetterman, D, PA

We cannot negotiate with Iran.

It’s time to destroy their nuclear program and neutralize the remaining capabilities of its proxies.

I remain steadfast with Israel. Provide whatever is necessary to carry this out.

324 Fetterman is liberal through & through with an exception - a huge exception (above). And this (below) is the blowback, whether real or part of another rope-a-dope scheme for the 2nd PDT Administration:

>Philadelphia Daily News - Inquirer dot com, Sunday, May 4, 2025

Report: 'Staffer for Fetterman allege regression in his recovery' by Fallon Roth, Staff Writer

Captions beneath a stock photo: "A new profile of Senator John Fetterman in New York Magazine details how the senator's mental health struggle unfolded and the lingering concerns from his staffers. AP"

And, "The PA. Senator's former Chief of Staff wrote an email to a Walter Reed doctor last year, worried about the trajectory of Fetterman's behavior, according to a profile in New York Magazine."

What a mess! A few paragraphs caught my eye: "Gisele (Fetterman) told New York Magazine: ""I would talk to John's doctors about what Adam (Jentleson) was telling me and they would be confused. Those doctors would tell me that their concerns were not with John, but with Adam. Any alleged 'concerns' heard from me came straight from those lies, not from John's doctors or my own eyes."

Also, "But it does ...

Stop believing their theatrics. It's the press attention they want & to make fools of the administration.
