The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

A young man named John received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary.

Every word out of the bird’s mouth was rude, obnoxious, and laced with profanity.

John tried and tried to change the bird’s attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing soft music and anything else he could think of to ‘clean up’ the bird’s vocabulary.

Finally, John was fed up and he yelled at the parrot. The parrot yelled back. John shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even ruder. John, in desperation, threw up his hand, grabbed the bird and put him in the freezer. For a few minutes, the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed. Then suddenly there was total quiet. Not a peep was heard for over a minute.

Fearing that he’d hurt the parrot, John quickly opened the door to the freezer. The parrot calmly stepped out onto John’s outstretched arms and said “I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I’m sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend to do everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behavior.”

John was stunned at the change in the bird’s attitude.

As he was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behavior, the bird spoke-up, very softly, “May I ask what the turkey did?”

25 The True Story of Thanksgiving

Rush Limbaugh: https://bit.ly/4riGcst

William Bradford, the governor of the Pilgrim community, saw that none of this was working. The Mayflower Compact was not working. Giving everybody a single share of stock in the common store, in the common bank was not working. Collectivism. It was as costly and destructive to the Pilgrims as it is and has been to anybody who has ever tried it.

So Bradford decided to scrub it. He threw it out and took bold action. He assigned a plot of land to each family. Every family was given a plot of land. They could work it, manage it however they wanted to. If they just wanted to sit on it, get fat, dumb, happy, and lazy, they could. If they wanted to develop it, if they wanted to grow corn, whatever on it, they could. If they wanted to build on it, they could do that. If they wanted to turn it into a quasi-business, they could do whatever they wanted to do with it.

He turned loose the power of the capitalist marketplace.

60 Some factual facts (not to be confused with the fictional facts that I usually post)

The Mayflower Compact was the result of landing in the wrong spot. The Pilgrims had a charter for land further south, but navigating to that area after already pretty much harboring in Plymouth would have been too much of a hassle. Some of the Pilgrims were heard to be saying that because they were outside the charter area, they were not bound to live by the rules within it. The leaders of the group decided it would be a good idea to gather everybody together and get a formal agreement of how things woukd run tonprevent anarchy before actually landing onshore. They then sent somebody back get a charter for their actual location.

Oliver Stone is a few bubbles off center but he did make one really good documentary on the color revolution that the CIA ran in Ukraine. Didn't kill many people there either but enough to destabilize the elected government, start a civil war and overthrow the country.

69 Via Parkersburg, WV News & Sentinel newspaper:

The 29-year-old suspect, an Afghan national, entered the U.S. in 2021 through Operation Allies Welcome, a Biden administration program that evacuated and resettled tens of thousands of Afghans after the U.S. withdrawal from the country, officials said.
The initiative brought roughly 76,000 people to the U.S., many of whom had worked alongside U.S. troops and diplomats as interpreters and translators. It has since faced intense scrutiny from Trump and his allies, congressional Republicans and some government watchdogs over gaps in the vetting process and the speed of admissions, even as advocates say it offered a lifeline to people at risk of Taliban reprisals.

Breaking! At least five of the seditious six were recruited and trained for office by “New Politics”. Maybe even all six! (Jason Crow and SIX other Congress members are involved in recruitment.)

“New Politics is a purpose-built political talent agency and campaign accelerator that recruits, trains, and develops leaders with service backgrounds to transform our politics.”

They even recruit from
Intelligence agencies too.

Not even two months before the Military Coup narrative was started, (I’ll explain later) New Politics got a sudden infusion of twenty million dollars! More money than they’ve seen in eight years of operations! Where did this come from?

111 The 29-year-old suspect, an Afghan national, entered the U.S. in 2021 through Operation Allies Welcome, a Biden administration program that evacuated and resettled tens of thousands of Afghans after the U.S. withdrawal from the country, officials said.
The initiative brought roughly 76,000 people to the U.S., many of whom had worked alongside U.S. troops and diplomats as interpreters and translators. It has since faced intense scrutiny from Trump and his allies, congressional Republicans and some government watchdogs over gaps in the vetting process and the speed of admissions, even as advocates say it offered a lifeline to people at risk of Taliban reprisals.

Democrats' brains are so clogged with propaganda that they cannot grasp the basic logic of how the Sedition 6's inflammatory rhetoric could lead to US soldiers being murdered, so let me break down the obvious logic trail for the midwits:

1. The Sedition 6 implied that the things Trump ordered were unlawful orders.

2. Thus, any soldier doing his or her job as instructed by Trump and the chain of command was carrying out unlawful orders -- a war crime.

3. A shooter would therefore believe he was justified in shooting war criminals.

It's pretty easy to understand for those with functioning brains.

The Mayflower Compact was the result of landing in the wrong spot. The Pilgrims had a charter for land further south, but navigating to that area after already pretty much harboring in Plymouth would have been too much of a hassle. Some of the Pilgrims were heard to be saying that because they were outside the charter area, they were not bound to live by the rules within it. The leaders of the group decided it would be a good idea to gather everybody together and get a formal agreement of how things woukd run tonprevent anarchy before actually landing onshore. They then sent somebody back get a charter for their actual location.

BREAKING: It's been revealed that a nonprofit linked to George Soros is fomenting sedition within the military around the same time a "script" went out to Democrat members of Congress urging rebellion within the ranks against President Trump.

There are also links to ANTIFA.

On November 11th - just days before the video - the National Lawyers Guild published a page urging service members to refuse "illegal" orders.

The same talking point in the video.

Win Without War has put up a billboard in NC urging chaos and dissent within the ranks, a group linked to a 501(c)(4) backed by Soros' Open Society. The group was previously named New Security Action.

As per @DataRepublican, Win Without War is partnered with the National Lawyers Guild.

A cop, think it was in LA, survived a direct 357 shot to the heart and she still killed the sob that shot her.

Terminal ballistics is a weird macabre field where bullet placement, bullet design/wt, and velocity along with differences in human anatomy interplay with each other.

One LEO in NM was killed despite wearing a bulletproof vest by an 45-70 slug to the chest. The slug had enough energy despite not penetrating the vest to cause a heart full of blood at that exact instant of bullet strike cause a spike in blood pressure that killed the poor LEO by an aneurism.

180 >>BREAKING: It's been revealed that a nonprofit linked to George Soros is fomenting sedition within the military around the same time a "script" went out to Democrat members of Congress urging rebellion within the ranks against President Trump.

Would that be the same George Soros who has been working with the CIA since the 70's destabilizing governments and running Color Revolutions?

Put it in perspective: This video was crafted in the middle of important strikes in the Caribbean and mounting pressure against both Maduro/Venezuela but also China/Russia's influence in this hemisphere.

So Soros nonprofits are trying to sabotage the U.S. military in conjunction with high-ranking federal officials, in the middle of important conflicts and pressure campaigns - and just presented it as "patriotic veterans and Congress want you to stand up to Orange Man for your Country."

It's truly despicable stuff and the timing is not only suspicious, but dangerous.

Alex Soros also sits on the board for International Crisis Group, who contains at least one Cartel de los Soles denier @philgunson and just wrote a New York Times article trying to support the war.

Gunson also amplifies Elias Ferrer, who I think is one of the biggest scumbags on earth. He was just exposed as being involved in a Signal group with oil and Western government officials to collude to stop Trump for the interests of Big Oil.

200 165 Word on the street is, you can download a .357 with .38s or even 9mm with a cylinder change on certain models.
Posted by: Johnny the Shoeshine Guy
=====
9mm is not a good round for snubbie revolvers due to the tendency in light weight snubbies to literally pull the bullets in the cylinders out of a taper crimp. Revolver rounds use roll crimps for a reason. And yes, you can shoot 38+p or 38 in a 357. Most of the convertible cylinder revolvers in 357 are actually single action due to ease of conversion.

But over time, what happens is you have to literally scrape the cylinder ends to remove fouling if you do it enough--lead bullets produce the most fouling--sometimes enough to cause pressure spikes or prevent bullet seating for 357s over time.

Best to simply buy a 38+p rated revolver in the first place. They are usually a bit lighter and cheaper due to the much lower pressures of a 38+p.

Reloaders, of course, have a choice. 357 Magnum brass is easily reloaded to 38+p, 38 spc, or even 38+p+ levels without the fouling problem mentioned above.

Anytime you have a sights on a firearm, you need to recheck for zero if you change bullet wt, velocity, or pressure.

214 Don't know if this was covered in the Morning Report or comments, as I just got here.

Mother Viola Ford Fletcher, born May 10, 1914, in Comanche, Oklahoma, passed away peacefully on November 24, 2025, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, at the remarkable age of 111. At the age of 7, Mother Viola survived the Tulsa Race Massacre. …the oldest living survivor.

Didn't know they'd replaced "riot" with "massacre," but it is, alas, more descriptive.

218 Ref. Pilgrim monkey. “I believe our Heavenly Father invented man because he was disappointed in the monkey. I believe that whenever a human being, of even the highest intelligence and culture, delivers an opinion upon a matter apart from his particular and especial line of interest, training and experience, it will always be an opinion of so foolish and so valueless a sort that it can be depended upon to suggest our Heavenly Father that the human being is another disappointment and that he is no considerable improvement upon the monkey.” Mark Twain

219 Yes, the Pilgrims hunted for some of their Thanks giving dinner. According to a letter by pilgrim Edward Winslow, the colony’s governor sent four men to go “fowling,” that is, to hunt for birds, in the days prior to the celebration. It is believed that the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag people who celebrated with them hunted and served wild fowl, like geese, duck, or turkey.
