The Morning Report — 6/ 18 /25

Good morning kids. So with things really heating up over Iran as well as here at home, both situations put the sudden rushing to the hospital last night of Kristi Noem, the head of our Department of Homeland Security, into a new light. It could be just a freaky coincidence, but the timing could not be at a more crucial moment.

First the details:

“Secretary Noem experienced an allergic reaction earlier today and was transported to the hospital out of an abundance of caution. She is alert and recovering,” Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement obtained by the Daily Caller. . . Noem was previously in Los Angeles, California, where Democratic Senator Alex Padilla interrupted a June 12 press conference she was conducting in response to the LA riots. Security forcibly removed the senator and reportedly handcuffed him. DHS accused Padilla of “disrespectful public theatre.”

Frankly, the fat filthy bastard is damned lucky to be alive. Because, given the flood of foreign criminals already in country as well as our own homegrown Leftist Schakowsky/Soros rent-a-mob cadres that always pop up in congressional hearings when they're not burnining looting and murdering in the name of peace love and understanding, If I were Noem, and likely carrying a firearm, I'd have not given a second thought to ventilating the fat bastard who was bull-rushing me.

And given what is happening now in Iran, with the potential for President Trump to deploy MOP ordnance to obliterate the last and perhaps most important Iranian nuclear facility inside and beneath the mountains at Fordow, The erased border courtesy of Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants that was already extremely porous prior to his installation as Obama's puppet in 2020, the potential for sleeper cells to cause murder and mayhem, on top of what the aforementioned native-born self-hating America-hating brainwashed Leftist droogs are already doing to us should scare the shit out of anyone who is even minimally aware of what's been going on at least since 9/11/01 or February of 1993 when we had the first World Trade Center truck bomb attack.

So now to square the circle of open borders and Islamic terrorism, With what's happening the name Padilla should set off some very loud alarm bells. Not Alex. But in this case one JOSE PADILLA who came to national prominence in the wake of 9/11/01.

Born in Brooklyn on October 18, 1970, Jose Padilla is an American citizen and a Muslim convert who was arrested in May 2002 and was thereafter detained by the U.S. government for three-and-a-half years as an “enemy combatant” who aspired to contribute to the worldwide Islamic jihad by killing large numbers of Americans.
In his early teens, Padilla joined a mostly Puerto Rican gang called the Latin Disciples. He went on to compile a rap sheet of both juvenile and adult crimes — offenses ranging from aggravated assault to unlawful weapons possession to attempted theft. He was also involved in a violent assault and shooting where his victim later died from the injuries that Padilla helped inflict.
In the early 1990s, Padilla became a working member of the Benevolence International Foundation, a charity that had close financial ties to the al Qaeda terrorist network, the Abu Sayyaf Islamic rebels in the Philippines, and 9/11 mastermind Khalid Shaikh Mohammed.
. . . After 9/11, Padilla spent some time living with Atef in the house where the latter was eventually killed by a U.S. air strike in November 2001. Seeking to avoid further danger, Padilla went to Pakistan, where he became acquainted with Osama bin Laden’s deputy Abu Zubaydah. Padilla approached Zubaydah with an idea: He wanted to follow Internet instructions for creating a nuclear bomb, and then detonate it somewhere in the United States. Skeptical about Padilla’s ability to carry out such an attack, Zubaydah suggested that wrapping explosives in uranium (to create a radiological “dirty bomb) might be more feasible...
. . . On January 22, 2008, U.S. District Judge Marcia Cooke sentenced Padilla to 17 years and four months in prison, as opposed to the life sentence the government was seeking. In explaining her decision, Judge Cooke underscored the serious nature of Mr. Padilla’s offenses, but added: “There is no evidence that these defendants personally maimed, kidnapped or killed anyone in the United States or elsewhere. There was never a plot to overthrow the United States government.”

And where is this wonderful humanitarian and bust out quintessential Democrat today??? (Per Wikipedia) Padilla is serving his sentence at ADX Florence prison in Florence, Colorado. Padilla's prisoner number is 20796-424; he is projected to be released in 2026.

So, With the Iranian regime apparently on the ropes, and threatening to unleash hell on Earth, Is that mere bluster of the Mad Mullahs in the bunker shrieking "Steiner will come" or the 12th Imam will QQM?!!!!

Remember, that Iran has been enriching Uranium for years. and with a non existent southern border and a very poorly watched northern border to say nothing of thousands of miles of Atlantic and Pacific coastline plus seaports where anything can be smuggled in or where corrupt LE and CBP agents can be bribed to look the other way, it is certainly a distinct possibility that quite a bit of radioactive material is already within our borders ready to be weaponized and used by who knows how many other Jose Padillas are walking our streets waiting for the Mullahs, to give the Go code, or who will just act on their own if Tehran should fall.

And, as for radioactive material for a dirty bomb, you don't necessarily need weapons-grade U-235 or Plutonium or Cobalt Thorium-G or whatever is used to detonate Atomic or thermonuclear devices. All you need is a not so very large amount of low level radioactive material such as is used in the medical profession. Strap a few pounds to some propane tanks and set it off in Times Square or near the Pentagon or wherever to create a toxic cloud of radioactive fallout. No, I'm not giving away any deep dark secrets that the evil Muslim savages haven't already figured out probably courtesy of Hose-B Padilla 25 years ago.

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei declared “the battle begins” in an ominous post Tuesday, hours after President Trump called for Iran’s “unconditional surrender.”
“In the name of #Haider, the battle begins. Ali returns to #Khaybar with his Zulfiqar.” Khamenei wrote on X in Farsi, referring to Islam’s first imam, Ali, who won the Battle of Khaybar with the sword Zulfiqar.
Khamenei’s sinister message comes hours after the Islamic Republic’s state media also warned of a “surprise” on Tuesday night into Wednesday that the “world will remember for centuries.”

So, the bluster of a cornered rat, or is there something to this whether similar to the nightmare scenario I pondered above or perhaps something else?

Remember that Shiite Islam is predicated on armageddon being the precursor to their mythological 12th Imam returning to earth from some magic wishing well in the holy city of Qom to then usher in an eternal paradise on earth in the form of the world becoming Islamic for all time.

Now, as I understand it, the true believers regard/venerate that well as a scared site that must be protected at all costs. If a "STRAY" Israeli bomb were to take it out, it would also take out the fantasies of tens of millions of Muslims around the world. The 12th imam could never emerge. Islamic experts like Robert Spencer and others have stated this and when we had him on a previous episode of the podcast he reiterated this.

Forget Fordow. We need the John C. Holmes mega Qom Shot of all time to Seek out that well and destroy it. The psychological shock alone of that well's obliteration might well be more powerful and effective than the combined military defeats of Islam in all its wars against Israel and Western Christendom.

Meh, there's also that space rock in Mecca, but that's another story.

FYI, a quick heads up to be on the lookout for a new episode of the the podcast with me and CBD that should be posting in the sidebar by this afternoon, as well as at CJN and via our usual outlets.

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.

The Israel-Iran conflict, now in its fifth day, has seen extensive military operations by both sides. Overnight, Israeli forces conducted targeted strikes on key Iranian military sites, including a command center in Tehran, where Maj. Gen. Ali Shadmani, Iran’s wartime chief of staff, was killed. Shadmani had been appointed just days earlier, following the death of his predecessor, Maj. Gen. Gholam Ali Rashid, in another Israeli strike on Friday.According to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), the strike that killed Shadmani occurred “in the heart of Tehran” late Monday, with the target presenting a “sudden opportunity.” In a statement, the IDF declared that Maj. Gen. Shadmani’s death “adds to a series of eliminations of Iran’s most senior military leadership and degrades the chain of command of the Iranian armed forces.”

This focus appears correctly centered on the FCC’s actual legal statutory authority to regulate the limited bandwidth of the electromagnetic spectrum to avoid conflicts in its use.

21 By the way - when Iran said it was going to launch an attack against the west that would never be forgotten, all I could think of was Far Out Space Nuts guy saying "I said lunch not launch!!!"

Greetings hordlings - from the far Orient, Publius Redux, your hand in Singapore here.

My feeling on Iran, having been old enough to watch the hostage crisis unfold and to understand it AND to watch the marine barracks bombing in 1983, is, there are not enough bad things that can happen to that bunch of disgusting, bearded d-bags. Ther eis not enough suffering, not enough carnage, not enough destruction that can rain on them that will satisfy my need for righteous vengeance. But . . .Israel bombing the sh*t out of them, blowing up their leaders and destroying their ability to wage war and gain the bomb (with our tacit - and probably somewhat active support) is a good start.

Now off to read the content - thanks for these JJ, I can't believe how extensive the morning (my evening) post is - I can hardly get through it all before I have to get off to bed!

32 The FBI Was Ordered to Destroy Evidence of China’s 2020 Election Plot to Help Biden

OK.

We suspected this. We discussed it's likelihood of happening. And now there is proof. And yet Wray, who is blatantly guilty of treason, walks around this morning a free man. So what, I ask, is the point of voting for a man like Trump and supporting his appointees if they will not act?

Yes, you can argue that a Trump presidency (or its equal) means secure borders, good wages, a strong economy and a commanding presence on the world stage. All good things, I will admit. But what good is it, in the end, if traitors like Wray never face punishment?

All you're doing is confirming the perception that Dems will move heaven and earth to jail or murder their opponents and all the GOP will do is cluck its tongue in disapproval.

In this respect, my vote for Trump (and yours, and everyone else's) was an utter waste.

Obtaining Uranium was an interesting endeavor at the time. For some reason, the only ore of naturally high concentrations of Uranium were found in the Congo. 65% (versus only fractional percentages in ores from the Colorado plateau). Several tons were obtained and secured in a warehouse on Long Island long before they realized the significance.

1. Feeling aside, what evidence do you possess that Wray is provably guilty of anything?
2. Assuming that you have this evidence, does he possess a Presidential pardon?
3. Assuming he does not possess a pardon, has he been indicted in DC? Cuz that's the first step that would matter, not masturbation material of him being arrested.
4. Assuming he gets indicted, would a judge in DC throw out the charges?
5. Assuming not, would a jury in DC convict?

But what good is it, in the end, if traitors like Wray never face punishment?

A huge portion of the government, and populace, does not support the rule of law. Traitors like Wray are likely to never see punishment in this life. You now have three choices. Accept that fact and move on. Refuse to accept it, withdraw into a shell, and don't force them to overcome your vote. Join the side of evil.

My observation is this sort of thing is arguably an engineered social experiment, or societal destabilization programme. Blacks have been used as “guinea pigs” by the spook agencies for decades. Some research indicates that up until the 1950s, blacks had comparable or even a higher married rate than whites. Welfare and “Great Society” programs to “help” took care of that.

The so-called “black lives matter” official website denigrates that the “nuclear family”. Apparently the answer to abject failure is to accept it as a Good Thing. Unbelievable

Misappropriating an FBI jet for personal use. He used that jet to fly home on weekends - while only paying the lowest commercial airline fee for the flight. These flights cost the Taxpayers approximately $50,000 each in fuel, maintenance, and salaries of the flight crew and ground crews. Normally those costs are spread among all the passengers in a commercial flight. In addition the intended usages of the Jet for official purposes had to be cancelled.

This would be like the Director of the Secret Service having himself driven home every day in the Presidential limousine while only paying the minimum bus fare for the trips.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

...We organized across every swing state. We moved voters. And we cost Kamala Harris the White House.

Let that serve as a reminder: our demands are not symbolic. Our movement is not hypothetical. When our red lines are crossed, we act....You promised to put America First. You promised to stop funding genocide. Those were your words. Today, those promises are on the line.

Let us be clear: if this administration leads the U.S. into this war, we will respond with the full strength of our movement. Just as we did in 2024, we will mobilize in every battleground state to ensure you are held accountable at the ballot box—in 2026 and beyond.

FUCK THESE PEOPLE!! Let Me be clear - these assholes are the ones that deserve what EVERYONE has to now suffer.

To put it BLUNTLY - FUCK THEM!

So, what you're saying is that you want to elect a temporary dictator who'll punish the people you don't like and then stop?

We live in the world we live in. Trump has to deal with that world. He doesn't have the actual support of a majority of Congress. He's moving us forward as fast as he can... frankly, faster than I expected.

It's been five months. Think of everything that's already happened and it's only been five months. But we get bombarded with "oh, but this specific thing hasn't happened so it's all for nothing" or "oh, Congress isn't going along so it's all for nothing" or "oh, this media outlet who lies to me about absolutely everything said that something was bad so it's all for nothing."

I could not believe my ears listening to the first half hour of Levin's show Monday when he went after Tucker and the like. It got way testy (even for Levin) and it got personal, especially when it got to the point of him describing Tucker's trust baby world. Even more disappointing was the fact that Tucker is not doing himself any favors with his poor messaging. Or. . . . . . . is it really? Or is he instead "Bill Kristol light" now??

There was certainly some organized effort to hurt Harris from the Left, especially in places like Michigan with Muslim immigrants. What groups, and how effective they were, is unknown to me, but 1- the current Dems hate them more than they hated Jill Stein and the Greens in 2020 and 2- they're right...Trump was elected very much for America First and ending overseas entanglements. If we go to war with Iran, I'll be unhappy.

Your starting assumption is that we are currently at peace with Iran and Trump is about to start a conflict.

149 This wasn’t some careless screw-up. This was a deliberate, calculated cover-up. The FBI didn’t just drop the ball — it went out of its way to bury explosive evidence of a foreign power trying to rig a U.S. presidential election. Instead of doing its job and protecting America’s election integrity, it chose to protect Biden’s campaign by destroying the very documents that exposed the truth. It lied to Congress, scrubbed the report, and tried to erase one of the biggest national security threats of our time from the record.

Well... You never have to vote for him again, so there's that.

I respect you, MP4, to a level you probably don't even suspect, so I'll attempt to answer your question sincerely:

Because before Trump, we all suspected but didn't KNOW about the breadth and depth of the corruption. We didn't even have visibility on the scope and scale of the problem. Now we do. Expecting Trump to - in his first 150 days - arrest ever corrupt politician, political, suborned juror, prosecutor, and lackey just isn't realistic. Arresting a few high-level ones (like Wray) would absolutely feel good, but as has been pointed out, would only strengthen Wray because of the overarching problem.

Wray isn't the problem. The systemic rot and corruption which permits and celebrates Wray is the problem. Trump's re-re-election has exposed a huge swath of it.

178 A U.S. Air Force E-4B “Nightwatch” aircraft — commonly known as the “Doomsday Plane” — landed at Joint Base Andrews late Tuesday night following a highly irregular flight path from Barksdale Air Force Base in Shreveport, Louisiana. The flight sparked speculation given the plane's historical role during major national or global crises. Formally designated as the National Airborne Operations Center (NAOC), the E-4B is built to serve as a mobile command post for the President and top military officials in the event of nuclear war or other catastrophic events.

179 >> Lawler is on Bartiromo's show babbling about keeping the SALT deduction or increasing it. Taking credit for a Republican majority in the House. If you vote like a Dem what's the point of the Republican majority?

Lawler is a piece of shit who thinks the answer to New York’s confiscatory state taxes is to steal from the federal taxpayers. Take this a step further: he wants to run for governor. So plug their wasteful state spending with other states’ money.

Imagine this. Republicans have a historic opportunity to begin reversing the pilfering of federal taxpayers for Congresses profligate spending. The SALT Caucus led by Lawler see that as an opportunity to use their leverage to continue that debt by stealing from other states, the nations debt and future be damned.

We need to build the majority and cast aside people like Lawler.

251 I'm willing to bet that you do not, in fact, know what the regulations are surrounding the FBI Director's use of a government jet. I'm willing to bet that you do not, in fact, know what the regulations are surrounding reimbursement. You may have an idea of what they SHOULD be but you don't know what they ARE.

Government vehicles are for official use only. Flying home on weekends is not an official use. Military personnel can ride aboard a military flight which is going to their destination - but only on a no additional cost to the government. Unless government regulations have changed since I last worked for the government that is still the rule.

The FBI jet's official use was to fly armed FBI personnel to places where they were needed by the government on official assignments.

Posted by: Lady in Black at June 18, 2025 08:08 AM (qBdHI)
——-

Trials are held in the county where the crime occurred, if it’s a state crime. Federal crimes are held in the district the conduct occurred. There are ways to move the trial, but that’s rare and generally done to protect the defendant. So if the crimes took place in LA, the trial will be in LA. So I’m not holding my breath on a guilty verdict for any of this vermin.

366 I grew up in MD where the summer humidity is oppressive. Many days the temp and RH would be the same number. Something called 'the Bermuda High' which parks itself over the Eastern seaboard in the summer.

Then I moved to Colorado where the air is so dry that exposed skin takes on a leathery look. It even works in winter, when snow not only melts, but evaporates.

MSM loves the news of Noem's allergic reaction; "Inside Clashes between Trump & Gabbard; and, of course, a media post by Sen. Mike Lee being described as "controversial, insensitive to say the least, inflammatory, etc." along with all criticisms and denouncements of it and him personally. Joyful, they are!

And how the story of Minnesota shooting 'suspect' seems to be tamped down in hours! ABC News: 'Minnesota shooting suspect started as a frustrated idealist, his writings show,' June 18, 2025.

Also silence about Why, "The wife of a man suspected of killing a Democratic lawmaker and her husband was detained in a traffic stop after police discovered a weapon, ammunition, cash, and passports in the trunk of her car." Daily Beast, 6/15

Not to mention the silence on No Kings Day! about Kilmar Garcia and due process.

And so it seems Garcia stopping rising - or sinking - to G.F. level once days of press was made.
