The Morning Report

The Morning Report — 6/ 6 /25

If the video is glitchy, It is The World at War Episode 17 "Morning" which is aeasily found on YouTube and elsewhere.

Good morning kids. 81 years ago at almost this very hour, the allied armies, led by the United States and the British stormed ashore on five Normandy beaches to begin the liberation of Europe from the barbarism of Nazi German occupation and all of its horrors. God bless the sacred memory of all those wonderful guys who gave their lives and eternal honor to all who came ashore that day.

Within a year, those who survived the landings would have to endure other nightmares, with names written in their and their buddies' blood like Falaise, Arnhem, Bastogne, the Hurtgen Forest and then the Rhine, and if they survived would ultimately come upon the electrified barbed wire gates of hell that were Buchenwald, Dachau, Belsen, Sachsenhausen and Mauthausen. At the latter, the wonderful Angels of the Lord dressed as members of the US 11th Armored Division liberated my mother. Miraculous as her survival was, somehow both her parents and her 6 siblings, also managed to survive and be reunited to live long and full lives here and in Israel. The odds of an entire family making it through intact are astronomical, and as I am now in the twilight of my years, with one of my mother's sisters still alive at age 93, I just shake my head at what a blessing it was for them and me to be here today.

It's why I am going to have try and tread as lightly as possible, given recent events. And yet, sadly, tragically it is something that needs to be addressed, so here goes.

Holocaust survivor who supports nonprofit suing Trump over refugee ban surprised that illegal Egyptian migrant would set her on fire
. . . An 88-year-old Holocaust survivor who was burned in Sunday’s alleged terror attack in Boulder, Colorado, shares a message for the rest of Americans, saying, “We are better than this,” before asking, “What the hell is going on in our country?”
She's wearing a huge HIAS button. The Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, is a Jewish American nonprofit that provides humanitarian aid and assistance to refugees, like the Catholic and Lutheran charities.
“We at HIAS have been so blessed to have Ali Mayorkas on our board of directors, and are thrilled to have him nominated to be the next Secretary of Homeland Security,” said HIAS President and CEO Mark Hetfield. “Ali has consistently demonstrated that he is not only a strong and highly respected leader, but an empathetic one who knows the heart of the stranger, as the child of a Holocaust survivor, as a Latino, and as a refugee and immigrant himself. Ali is uniquely suited to rebuild public trust in the Department of Homeland Security as he knows that America is at its greatest when we build bridges, not walls.”

This episode once again highlights the head shaking question of why are Jews liberal and vote Democrat. I can certainly understand how generations of persecution can attract people to movements and individuals who mouth the right words about Justice and security and yet deliver exactly the opposite. Hell, forget Jews but for blacks to vote generationally for the party that had them in literal chains as slaves and then kept them in economic chains, destroying them all in the name of political power is insanity. Which as we all know is doing the same things over and over again and expecting a different result.

Back to this poor woman, This is the direct result of thinking with one's heart and not with one's head while at the same time being completely deaf, dumb and blind to everything around one.

You will never find a more compassionate, sympathetic and even empathetic human being on this earth than my dear mother of blessed memory. But she knew what was what in terms of the politics of this nation. She knew what the Democrat Left was all about and would have none of it. From the moment they came onto the scene, she knew the Clintons were going to be trouble, and sadly she had to endure most of the first term of Obama.

The salient point is, unlike this poor woman from Boulder, there is no way in hell my mother would have countenanced open borders, or the flooding in of unvetted aliens regardless of their claims of persecution. And it took her years of sweating out the paperwork in a Displaced Persons Camp before she got her papers, and she had to prove she was not an indigent, had communicable diseases, was not a communist agitator, and that she had relatives here in the States who would support her while she got on her feet.

A big hat tip to commenters Washington Nearsider who brought this to our attention late in the comments yesterday, and to Lizzy whose reaction sums it all up:

What's wrong with this country? People like you brought in terrorists. GAH!

And just to preempt the usual trolls and other anti-semites out there, this is NOT a Jewish thing. Some people have bleeding hearts for very good reasons but unfortunately they let their good natures and own personal issues cloud their ability to think clearly, reasonably and rationally. And that is why this poor woman aligned herself with individuals who want to unleash the very same barbarism that nearly gassed and then burnt her in a crematorium, or shot her into a mass grave, right here in America.

Compassion and charity are of course noble and admirable. They are central tenets of Judaism and Christianity. But let's have a healthy dose of sanity

With that off my chest, the big story is that Trump and Musk are at each other's throats over the budget bill and while I have my reservations over incurring trillions more in debt to stop incurring trillions more in debt, the incongruity of this and the purpose of DOGE now coupled with the nastiness between these two individuals is only giving our enemies propaganda/politica fodder that we can ill afford.

We have to get our act together.

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 weekend.

Trump Paused Tariffs, But China is Still Restricting This Critical Import.
For years, the economic establishment has begged the United States to do one thing: tax consumption, not production. Consumption taxes don’t penalize saving. They don’t discourage work. They don’t tax the income you might reinvest in a business or use to raise a family. If you’re designing a tax system from scratch, you start with consumption.

16 Trump v Musk

I have a minority opinion: It's all an act. Give me 10:1 odds and I'll bet the under.

Trump had Elon working on a 90-day deal so he didn't need Congressional approval, and his term was up. Elon had to know that the tax credits for EVs could go away. But if they do, Tesla's market share of EVs will increase as other EV makers fold as they can't survive without them. Musk said so last year.

Musk's saying that Trump is on the Epstein list and calling for Trump's Impeachment are too much too fast. (The only other explanation is that Elon is batsh*t crazy). Expect the Left to howl for release of the Epstein list. And they'll get it.

We'll learn that Trump hitched a ride on Epstein's plane once, before he kicked Epstein out of Mar-A-Lago for hitting on a 13-year old. And we'll get other names. I expect the biggest fish to be Bill Clinton.

• Am I supposed to believe that the very Deep State that tried twice to assassinate him after several attempts to use lawfare to bankrupt and incarcerate him didn't use this alleged Epstein Client List to go after Trump, not just for 2016 but for 2020 and 2024?

Good question. I've asked it too many times already. One quibble, though: they are not "rogue" judges. They are a concerted enemy, members of an ideological syndicate.

39 I can certainly understand the tendency of a lot of Jews to be leftists - intelligence, lots of indoctrination within the educational system, a need to side with minorities because they feel they’re in the same boat, etc.

This lady and many others have marinated in political correctness for so long that to even broach the idea that poor Muslims could be a potential problem is anathema to them and the indoctrination will put a stop to any further thought on the subject, much less allow an opposing viewpoint to penetrate.

But you’d think a crazed Egyptian setting you on fire as you march for Israeli hostages captured by the man’s fellow Mohamedians would at least wake her up to the fact that maybe they are a lot closer to the hated Nazis than she’d care to admit.

Do they have to come at her speaking German and wearing swastika armbands for it to click in her head where the real danger is coming from 80 years later?

I can’t understand what it is with the Cult that makes them lose any intuition about danger along with a complete loss of need for self-protection.

40 “I must say I was afraid," Amanpour said, according to Fox News. "I’m a foreigner. I don’t have a green card. I’m not an American citizen. I’m fairly prominent, and I literally prepared to go to America as if I was going to North Korea.

And then she later says that she was treaded splendidly by ICE.

In other words, the audience had to put up with her dystopian neuroses and TDS hysterical breakdown because "I was treated decently" doesn't fit the narrative and and doesn't manipulate Leftists into a rage.

49 The Clown Judge "ordering" Trump to keep issuing visas to students attending Harvard is so far out of bounds.
The Judiciary literally has no say whatsoever in when, how or even if visas are issued.
Trump could say, "Harvard is a fart face with poopy pants" as the reason.

And there is--under the law--not a damned thing anyone can say.

As I keep saying, these illegal orders are not writs of injunction, they are writs of mandamus.
The reason it's important is, an injunction (stop) has much lower requirements than mandamus ("we demand"). Which exposes just how egregiously illegal the orders are.
They are playing stupid little lawyer games, "we're not ordering you to issue visas, we're ordering you not to enforce your order stopping the issuance of visas."

In the end, Musk feels he and DOGE were dissed. The alienation was evident in the final stages, and the chilliness detectable at his farewell event. He'd naively thought DOGE would be a revolutionary breakthrough, change the nature of governance in our time and be embraced and instantly codified by the Congress. Being a visionary idealist yet also a man who has manifested his visions as few others in modern history and spoiled by his success, he was deeply disillusioned and, at the rejection of his buddy at NASA, personally affronted. In his bitter emotional state he sees Trump as a sell-out to the system.

I don't trust those polls. It's a loaded question without context. But it underlines the importance of Trump preparing the battlefield with a national address. The judicial transgressions need to be clarified and itemized not only as prima facie Constitutional violations but as a determined assault on the will of the voter and his mandate. The bully pulpit is essential here. And I don't mean helicopter press skirmishes, but a serious campaign of public education and persuasion. This is a legitimate Constitutional crisis.

126 The 2nd biggest reason they're dressing their illegal orders up in the lie that it's an injunction, is that there are limited grounds for a mandamus. And they know it.

And very, very limited grounds for an emergency mandamus.
Mostly, the parties are required to go through a whole trial before they can get a writ of mandamus.

But the biggest reason they have to hide their illegal orders in the lie it's an injunction:
a writ of mandamus is not permitted when the government or official has discretion on how to act.

Meaning, Rubio should just personally issue visa denials to all students whose intended school falls in the same zip code as Harvard.

It is interesting to speculate what events she witnessed and how they were seen through the eyes of a child, and whether her post-war experiences may have shaped her political viewpoints as much or more than the first 8 years of her life. We don't know what ultimately shaped her political worldview..

The term "Holocaust survivor" is a catchall with millions of different individual experiences.

And just like WWII veterans, Holocaust survivors are passing from the scene, leaving only second- and third-hand recollections of those years.

146 Some of the people targeted in the October 7 attacks had the same kind of pinwheel-eyed, kum bay yah, bridge-building, one world outreach delusion about Hamas and Islamic terror.

-------

One of the major strengths of the Left is a psychological one. They don't talk in pragmatic or political terms, but in terms of good and evil. And for every second they spend demonizing their opposition as pure evil, they spend two more reminding their followers that they are Very Good People, not like those Garbage People.

That is in an incredibly seductive message, and gives them an unbreakable grip over those they've convinced they are the Elect, bound for utopian paradise.

So, as a particularly striking example, there's the repeated phenomenon we've seen where the families of people like Katie Steinle and Mollie Tibbets rush to the microphones to extol the virtues of Divine Sparks like the ones who murdered their children.

This primal urge to see a perfect face in the mirror will override literally everything else - the evidence of one's own senses, the consequences of one's beliefs and actions, the love of one's own family, and even the biological survival instinct. They're ineducable.

Trump and Bannon aren’t great friends now, but they still have the same agenda.

It’s unfortunate, but Elon is a relative neophyte when it comes to high level DC gamesmanship.

If he’d kept his powder dry and been a little more patient in learning how the system worked this all could have been avoided.

Trump certainly would have been sympathetic to Elon over this simply because Trump had to learn all this the hard way himself in his first term.

The federal government does not operate or respond quickly like a privately owned company will.

Especially in a government like ours which is designed to stop quick action and force long, deliberative debates with opposition, and divided powers as checks and balances.

Elon, like Bannon before him let the political become too personal.

Agreed. The CBO rules make the continuation of the tax cuts look like $1.5T or so in spending increases. And the real action on cuts has to occur in the recission bills, otherwise this bill wouldn't meet Congress's rules on what can pass with simple majority.

Posted by: LinusVanPelt at June 06, 2025 08:26 AM (WdMlw)

Agreed. The CBO rules make the continuation of the tax cuts look like $1.5T or so in spending increases. And the real action on cuts has to occur in the recission bills, otherwise this bill wouldn't meet Congress's rules on what can pass with simple majority. It's not hard to explain and understand, yet so many on our side aren't getting this.

Posted by: Chuck Martel at June 06, 2025 08:31 AM (Dv3i1)

It would have helped to have 10 separate rescission bills lined up and passed immediately after the BBB by the House...almost like it's one package that ends on Trump's desk, signed in appropriate timed order...but held til all gets there...

It’s not particularly focused after that and we start getting into melodrama and character development of characters I’m not particularly impressed by.

She was not on the campaign trail, either.

I get the feeling Melania is a very private person who doesn’t really enjoy the WH or DC at all.

She really doesn’t like the press, or the attention and is apparently perfectly fine with being so far out of the spotlight that she’s not even in the theater.

I also believe the two assassination attempts have spooked her completely.

She will show up occasionally but I wouldn’t expect to see her as much as we’re accustomed to by typical First Ladies.

252 D-Day stuff:
On this day in 1944 a little town in the Blue Ridge Mountains with about 3200 people would lose 20 sons, with 19 coming on Omaha Beach during the first wave.

The “Bedford Boys” were made up primarily from Company A, 116th Infantry Regiment, 29th Infantry Division, and trained for two years in England before leading the charge for one of the greatest battles in history. Bedford would lose 23 sons in total, making it the highest per capita loss of life of any town, which led Congress in to designate Bedford as the site of the D-Day Memorial, dedicated in 2001.

Posted by: Don Black. Message: John has a long mustache. at June 06, 2025 08:52 AM (AOsQT)

Congress established USAID as a functionally independent executive agency with the Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act of 1998, which gave the President 60 days to abolish or reorganize USAID. During that time, President Bill Clinton reorganized USAID and retained its independence from the U.S. Department of State.

266 One of the major strengths of the Left is a psychological one.

I largely agree with the entire post, but it isn't psychological, its spiritual.

They don't even have the Broken Clock apologetic working for them. Everything they do is consistent with demonic impulses.

When they use the word "Charity", they use that as a way to manipulate people into ignoring the 90% graft and corruption. When they use the word "Caring" they are the same people who yawn over another person's rape or murder, they encourage genital mutilations of children and killing off the unborn and the geriatric.

They are pure evil. Being evil doesn't mean that they are actively engaged in destroying things, but it means that a conscience that is so seared that Evil looks like Good (ref: Isaiah 5:20; Romans 1:18-32; 2 Timothy 3:1-7)

267 New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani refuses to acknowledge Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state. Mamdani is polling in second place ahead of this month’s Democratic party primary that will likely decide the winner of the November election in the mostly Democratic US city.

AOC just endorsed him. Not a good look for her, esp in these antisemitic Nazi times.

Good grief. The primary voters can do better. NY has a large and active Jewish community, don't they? Could he win the primary be alienating them all?

"When asked to clarify his own position on Israel, a Mamdani aide tried to stop the interview." Pressed multiple times to clarify if he believes Israel has a right to exist as a Jewish state, Mamdani instead repeated a line he’s been using that “Israel has a right to exist as a state with equal rights.”

Wow at people supporting Cuomo, who currently has the lead. Not only his sexual affair problems, but he spent years killing progressive legislation. He would be a travesty for NYC. How can we claim the upper hand on ethics and claim that fraud?

"Mamdani passed on signing a separate resolution condemning the Holocaust."

Its the supply-chain into Musk's companies. Tariffs raise cost of the stuff that just isn't found in the US because it has been regulated out of existence. Furthermore Tariffs don't mean reciprocal tariffs, they can also create other trade impediments like retaliatory embargo of REMs or other products unique to the tariffed country.

Posted by: Its Go Time Donald at June 06, 2025 08:59 AM (NDtFP)

Because USAID is discretionary spending and the BBB doesn't address discretionary spending.

Because the DOGE cuts are discretionary spending and the BBB doesn't address discretionary spending.

Because everything you want has to be addressed in a different bill. It's been explained. With links. Ad nauseum.

Posted by: Soothsayer at June 06, 2025 08:47 AM (H1HTt)

It depends on his mood really.

I’ve seen Elon laugh it off and troll and make jokes.

And then I’ve seen him accuse a diver he never met of being a pedophile just because he didn’t think Elon’s cave submarine to save the Thai kids was worth a damn - which he was proven correct about.

He also spent $40 billion on a website worth about $10 billion because he threw a fit in pique over Twitter banning The Babylon Bee and made them an offer they couldn’t refuse, as it turned out later he couldn’t refuse it either when he changed his mind,

He can’t be quite impulsive sometimes and often lets his mouth run off until there’s no turning back.

372 “The BLS’s need to infer more data points due to personnel and funding constraints is deeply concerning,” Gregory Daco, EY-Parthenon’s chief economist, told CNN. “It raises legitimate questions about the reliability and timeliness of critical economic indicators.”

While statistical agencies often have protocols to maintain data quality during short disruptions, any sustained underfunding could “degrade the foundational data used for policymaking, market analysis and business planning,” he said.

407 >>Ilyse Hogue, former president of NARAL, has made a career of alienating male voters with woke nonsense. Now she's leading a campaign to win them back with 'super charged social listening.' . . .

Politico reports that Ilyse Hogue, former president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, cofounded the Speaking with American Men project, or SAM for short. . .

In an interview with the Virginia-based news blog, Hogue argued the widespread mockery of the group's efforts, which include "super charg[ing] social listening" and analyzing the "syntax, language and content that gains attention and virality" in male online communities, proved that they were on the right track.

First, my Lord, this woman is toxic, and all those smirky pictures! Second, I think (and hope) that this time their usual playbook - the one that's been so successful for decades - won't work. They went too far in recent years, on pretty much every issue. This gal has been part of it on several fronts. Clearly she and her party have not sensed the shift, not even after the Trump win thanks to so many of their usual supporters walking away.

Should be fun watching her try, though. . .

I want a return to ordinary budgeting. You know, the process that everyone accepted and understood before GWB ended it on the pretext of financial emergency. I will not support or vote for those who support endless omnibus packages that no one has read. Call it a CR or BBB. Be it Trump or someone else. I've indulged this bullshit for 20 years or so.

I trust them more than the screechers in the media deliberately trying to cause friction in the Trump camp. But still, the usual circular firing squad and endless pessimists cannot help themselves.

OK. Something's been bothering me and I gotta vent it.

Why are we still hanging on these individuals like they will save us? It's not just Musk and Trump. Look back from the start. How many times have we fixated on some figure or another thinking they would save the Republic for us?

All those brave men 81 years ago weren't looking for some great hero to save the day. They charged in and did it themselves. That's the American way. What we're doing isn't.

I know some of the Horde have stepped up in one way or another, and I salute you for it. But we need to stop expecting the cavalry to ride in and save us. We're Americans...or used to be. I wonder anymore, and I point that at myself as well.

Let me just add this question. If you know better, if your aim is truly good, doesn’t that mean you have a greater responsibility to the truth than to pathos?

When you care it’s often automatic to respond in an emotional way. So there should be a pause and some reflection on what your response should be.

Don’t forget that in many media organizations, social media companies, Google, etc. one of the biggest groups of hires are PHD’s in psychology. Their simple aim is one thing; to get you emotionally hooked. They study this and deliberately plant stories crafted in a certain way they know will elicit an emotional response.

Their greatest enemy? A rational person who fights that pathos response and takes the time to determine facts and circumstances.

Remember those factors are not always immediately available. So haste in making judgments becomes even more futile and prone to error- which by the way, the media spends a lot of time papering over.

Stop. Think. Determine facts and truthful material outcomes. Read less. Comment slower. And more importantly Pray more.

You want a short list? Run for office. Gather the like-minded to find solutions to local problems. Reach out a hand to help those in need. Volunteer, anywhere. Mentor. Teach.

And at all times, prepare for the worst that may come...while working to try to fend it off.

It may yet come to the worst; if it does we shouldn't shrink for it. But there's much to be done. And again, I salute all those who HAVE been doing those things. I just get the sense sometimes we're relying on these figures far too much rather than treating it as the sideshow it is and lifting the burdens ourselves.

Ukraine has every right to defend its soil and people any way possible. Their drone attack on Russian bombers was pure genius. I hope the US military is studying that attack.

Any pundit - liberal or conservative - who whines that Ukraine is jeopardizing peace talks by defending itself is a Putin puppet.

That said, I don't think the US should be involved in that war at all.

I’ve been a vocal proponent of Congress doing more. I’ve dumped on people like Mike Lawler who think now is the time to squeeze federal taxpayers for NY’s confiscatory taxation. They knew the vote margin was small, so they used that as leverage against the rest of the country. Cowards like that need to be voted out of the GOP with the rest of the so-called SALT Caucus. That said, and I’ve been around DC, this bill is historic in what it achieved. If you understand the process, it also isn’t the end. We will be rescissions for spending currently in the pipeline and regular order which will provide a pathway for future cuts- if we keep or grow the majority, which hopefully happens for all of us.

There are a lot of good analyses from people who know this stuff. I urge people to at least read the summaries.

517 So this think with Trump and Musk; it's no secret the left has been trying to shove a wedge in, basically since Musk bought Twitter. And it's clear he bought Twitter explicitly to combat the Dems, understanding they were angling us towards a mish-mash of 1917 2.0 and South Africa, with Spain 1933 being the most likely result...

But I have to say, shit fell apart much faster than expected. The GOP is done. I don't see any possibility that they're going to unfuck this, or WANT to unfuck this. Been saying it since 2016: war is coming.

Work on reading comprehension. There are $1.6 Trillion in spending cuts. That's the largest rollback of government spending in US history.

Some specific cuts:
1 - Medicaid eliminated for illegals.
2 - IRS funding of 87,000 new agents gone
3 - Ends funding of abortions abroad
4 - Defunds Planned Parenthood
5 - Removes all federal Diversity czars
6 - Removes all federal funding for minor trans surgery
7 - Removes all funding to the UN's various woke agencies

Not going to beat around the bush here: all those brave men 81 years ago died for nothing and they didn't save jack shit.

Siding with Uncle Joe out of convenience was - not so much a mistake, but a deliberate betrayal by the American left. EVERY leftist dysfunction in the US today traces directly to the Soviets (some with a detour through the PRC). Western Europe will cease to exist as we know it within a generation and the demographics of both the EU and half the US are permanently (and deliberately) altered by the 2014-2023 refugee bomb, short of intervention by SMOD.

THE STORY 👇👇👇 Emine and Celal Emanet

Emine and Celal Emanet, originally from Turkey, moved to the U.S. in 2008 on R1 visas and later applied for green cards, but their applications were repeatedly denied, leaving them undocumented since 2016. Despite this, they built a life in Haddon Township, New Jersey, where they own and operate Jersey Kebab, a beloved Mediterranean restaurant known for its generosity—often providing free meals to those in need.
On February 25, 2025, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers arrested both Emine and Celal at their restaurant due to their unresolved immigration status. Celal was released with an ankle monitor, but Emine remains detained at the Elizabeth Detention Center, sparking outcry from local officials and community members. The couple has four children, including a 15-year-old son with autism who relies on specialized services in NJ...

He overstayed >15 years on a limited Religious (R1) Visa.
There's no indication the family entered legally (R-2 Visas) to join him even while he was shortly & legally allowed in the US.
He was repeatedly denied a Green Card.
No mention at all of the 3 now grown 'children' who also entered the US much earlier.
CAIR-NJ condemned ICE Raid on family-owned restaurant in S. Jersey, and called for Emine & Celal's immediate release.
While the case involves an R-1 religious worker Visa, it does not directly address the specific scenario of an Islamic teacher on expired R-1 Visa owning a restaurant. Also, if the family had had R-2 Visas, holders are generally not permitted to work in the US.
Brooklyn-based nonprofit Envision Freedom Fund posted a $7,500 bond.
Congressman Donald Norcross spoke in support of the Emanet family.

533 People who participate in such probes are protected from retaliation by federal law. But two days after the journal asked Wasserman to round up documents, it informed him that he would be receiving a "Formal Reprimand" in his law review file.

"This Formal Reprimand informs you that your actions violate Law Review policies and do not reflect our community expectations," the journal’s disciplinary committee wrote on May 22. "Continued violations may give rise to additional disciplinary proceedings."

The reprimand was retracted five days later after the Justice Department accused the law review of retaliating against Wasserman and instructing him to destroy evidence, according to the New York Times.
