The Morning Report

The Morning Report — 12/12/25

Good morning kids. In its nearly 200-year rampage to attain absolute power, the Left and its political epicenter have worked feverishly via the Communist playbook to tear down every pillar of our society, history and heritage that undergirds the American experiment that had made us the exception to every other one that has come before us and since in human history, hence the term "American exceptionalism." We are or were the exception to all other forms of government that degraded, demeaned and relegated the individual as mere servants, serfs and slaves to all powerful rulers, kings and dictators. One of the key pillars of our society, and a source of pride and inspiration has been our military, especially those who serve and have served honorably and most especially to those who gave their lives to keep us free and preserve the bastion and beacon and shining example of freedom for the world (which sadly has decided that the opposite is preferable so that for the most part, we have 200 or so Cubas and Somalias all over the globe).

Coming back from that tangent and to our military, one of the greatest achievements that President Trump and his outstanding Secretary of War Pete Hegseth have done is to restore our military to razor-sharp readiness and effectiveness in the defense of this nation and its interests. That which had deteriorated to such an extent in the wake of 9/11 and the muddled insanity of the so-called insane Global War on Terror which in point of fact under Dubya, Cheney and various and sundry others became the eternal state of War on Terra and the equally mad nation-building scam that did nothing but demoralize Americans at home as their sons and daughters came home in flag-draped caskets while inspiring foreigners whose nations we pulverized while alienating them to hate us even more than before we arrived to "liberate" them from that which they did not want to be liberated, primarily ISLAM.

Because this President is putting an end to all that nonsense, he has earned some of the bitterest of enemies within the global militarist (not military) and corrupted failed diplomatic circles that have created much of the Post World War 2 mess that we find ourselves in. In rejiggering our military and foreign policy to one that is America-centric, he has put himself and his allies like Hegseth firmly in the crosshairs of some very pissed off individuals who do not appreciate their decades long power and influence taken away from them. And given the attempts on Trump crosshairs is for sure appropriate. And now, with first the strikes on Iran's nuclear capabilities and now the interdiction and elimination of narco-terrorist smuggling boats, some if not all aided and abetted by central and South American nation states along with Red CHina, the chattering classes are yammering away endlessly about war crimes.

They're not merely beating their gums.

In the 1990s, Captain Michael Cronin, a Navy pilot who had been captured and tortured in Vietnam, began to lobby for a bill that would hold his Vietnamese torturers accountable.
The ‘War Crimes Act’ was passed and Cronin died in 2020 without his torturers facing justice.
The bill, originally sold as a way to hold torturers of Americans accountable, did nothing to stop abuses of American prisoners, either by Communist or Islamist foes. Its criminalization of Geneva Conviction violations was never going to matter to our enemies, instead it became a weapon used by them, and their radical allies in the United States, against our troops.
Republican House and Senate majorities allowed the ‘War Crimes Act’ to sail through even though it had been loaded with the biggest poison pill of all, applying its provisions to American soldiers, and President Bill Clinton, a former anti-war protester, gleefully signed it into law.
The ‘War Crimes Act of 1996’ was the fever dream wishlist of every anti-Vietnam War protester, threatening to prosecute American soldiers for international law violations, and would probably never have become law if it hadn’t been smuggled through using a Vietnam War POW as an unwitting human shield. Once the bill had been passed, it was weaponized against Americans.

In a not necessarily unrelated story from a few weeks ago, Zohran Mamdani the mayor-elect of NYC announced his intention to arrest Bibi Netanyahu and hand him over to the International Criminal Court for the unspeakable crime of defending Jews from Islamic genocide. Mamdani's election is I fear not merely a one-off but given the embrace of socialism by the younger generations of voters and sadly older ones as well, and the vicissitudes of American electoral politics, sadly one day we will once again have a Democrat in the White House, will he/she/It be merely a typical liberal schmuck or a full-on Maoist like Mamdani and his ilk?!

Regardless, America as founded, what remains of it and what had been restored and please God is yet to be restored by the second half of Trump 2.0 and perhaps two terms of a President Vance, will once again be ripped apart by the next incarnation of Obama on radioactive steroids.

I predict that if/when (ugh!) that nightmare becomes a reality, Donald Trump, Pete Hegseth and perhaps most of the flag officer corps involved in the sinking of the Venezuelan drug boats as well as the bombing of Iran will be charged with war crimes. Given the nature of the lawsuits and shampeachments that Trump has gone through, as well as the persecution via prosecution of the J-6 protesters, you can guess the rest.

And with that, will be the final nail in the coffin of the United States armed forces. It will be transmogrified into something akin to the Red Guards or Iran's IRGC.

Not to worry, we'll always have the GOP:

The Indiana State Senate rejected a plan to redraw the Hoosier State’s congressional map before the 2026 midterm elections. President Donald J. Trump and Governor Mike Braun (R-IN) pushed Republican lawmakers in the legislature to back the plan, but Republican defections scuttled the bill that would have redrawn the map on Thursday.Under the failed proposal, the congressional districts for Representatives Frank Mrvan (D-IN) and Andre Carson (D-IN) would have essentially been eliminated and replaced with two Republican-leaning seats, making the entire state’s delegation in the U.S. House of Representatives a Republican one. Currently, Republicans hold seven of the state’s nine U.S. House seats.The setback in Indiana follows a recent Supreme Court decision allowing Texas to use its newly redrawn map, which creates five additional GOP-favorable districts. Indiana had become a focal point in Trump’s nationwide effort to reshape congressional districts ahead of the 2026 midterms, a strategy aimed at maintaining the narrow Republican majority in the U.S. House of Representatives.

GOP = GRIFTING OLEAGENOUS PARASITES

7 I'm awake, but they just gave me a Tylenol and an oxycodone, so I may not be conscious too much longer 🤣🤣🤣 Will be seeing the surgical resident first, then Dr. Yopp will be by to see me around 8 or 9.

Apparently my liver is still intact, but I will be going home with an HAI pump. I will have to come up with a fun name for him - maybe call him "Fred". The medicine they will be putting in the pump is called FUDR - you KNOW we are going to be having fun with that acronym....

And now we get to start playing whack-a-mole with all of these pesky little tumors that didn't show up on the CT Scan or the MRI (we were told that it is not uncommon to find that once they go in).

The good news is that the pump is even MORE targeted than anything I have had before, and they can use much more medication without the worry of killing "healthy" tissue in the process.

I think the oxycodone may be kicking in now - see you guys on the other side...

21 > The World Must Stop Ignoring What Iranians Already Know: The Regime Is on the Brink

Isn't it pretty to think so....
...
Not really. Trump's policy is "bring down the ayatollahs, install a stable regime of some type, profit." That's a dandy plan, on the face of it.

But America's policy in general is to prop up Iran as a counterbalance to Israel and Saudia Arabia, and keep the Middle East permanently unstable. Our government don't want anyone "winning" over there.

Trump will only be around for a few years, max. If he succeeds in toppling the ayatollahs, the IC will install some unstable gang of psychotic Muslims to replace them at the nearest opportunity and restore the status quo ante, and whoever it is will be as bad or worse than these whacko ragheads.

It's probably not even possible for Iran to have any kind of nonpsychotic government at this point, but as long as our foreign services perceive a belligerent Iran as desirable, it's definitely not.

24 This decision exposes the deep political denial embedded in France’s leadership: they continue living at the expense of future generations, consuming economic substance that no longer exists. France has become fundamentally incapable of reform and is drifting straight into a severe fiscal crisis.

Governments in the west, not just France, are like this because the citizenry of the west is filled with people who want everything, they want it now, and they want someone else to pay for it and so they elect politicians who promise them that.

Today, however, the prestigious college has become a hotbed of administratively sanctioned sex performances and "sexual skills" programs, with a focus on "queer" and transgender students and on free-sex practices such as polyamory. The graphic nature of school-sanctioned sex events has made many current Amherst students deeply uncomfortable, according to students who spoke to the Washington Free Beacon.

E-Swatini is a country in southern Africa (also known as Swaziland) completely surrounded by South Africa and Mozambique. It appears to have, approximately, zero inches of coastal territory, making it an odd choice for a merchant fleet.

229 so, this is from 2024, but it's been making the rounds, since the new legislation against Muslim bros. is stalled. right after the likes of Carlson , and some administration figures visited Qatar: "The oil-rich Gulf state of Qatar hired a former CIA agent’s company to discredit Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Tex., and other lawmakers who oppose Hamas and its parent organization, the Muslim Brotherhood, according to documents obtained by Fox News Digital.

The documents reveal that the alleged Qatar state-funded espionage campaign targeted Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, because he had sought to have the Muslim Brotherhood designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization.

The clandestine document, titled “Project ENDGAME” and drafted by U.S. company Global Risk Advisors (GRA), which was founded by the ex-CIA employee Kevin Chalker, reads, “High Alert: An attack on Hamas is an attack on Qatar. An attack on the Muslim Brotherhood is an attack on Qatar.”

I would like to remind you that one Qatar operative, Tucker Carlson, is also very vicious against Cruz.

I'd have to look for the story, but my wife said there was an exchange between Trump and Bondi some time after the latest cabinet meeting where he sort of went off on her. He reportedly told her she just repeats the same BS at every cabinet meeting and "isn't getting anything done."

She's got some sympathetic commenters here, and some that are pretty critical of her.

By every measure of performance in my mind, she's failing. I don't know if she's just too timid for the job or is an active player in the judicial coup.

2) The Trump admin arrests, convicts, and jails the leadership of the left responsible for this

This is always an open question.

I first saw it in 1979, in August yet, at an SF convention. (Let's face it, it *is* a fantasy film.) I'd never heard of it and had no idea what to expect. The entire "alternate Bedford Falls" sequence is really disturbing the first time you see it. And that effect doesn't really wear off.

I suppose the reason it was not a big success when first released was that audiences were not in tune with fantasy films. There had not been many by then, Wizard of Oz and a few others, and the big boom in SF monster movies and the A-picture Forbidden Planet were far in the future.

I talk about it in the video, but I think it was a business miscalculation, Capra trying to go independent in 1946 when the Paramount Accords hadn't been written yet and the vertical integration of studios with theaters (along with the practice of block booking for indy theaters) was the norm.

An expensive indie film would have real trouble breaking through and playing for weeks in that environment.

If MGM had distributed it, I think it would have been a huge success.

Capra just tried to go indie 10 years too early.

It's not about the person at the top. The AG doesn't, personally, do much of anything. They give orders and direction. It's up to the myriad lower layers to actually do the work.

The myriad lower layers of the single most corrupt agency in the federal government. Working hand-in-hand with corrupt elements of the judiciary to stop reform from happening. Ask Alina Habba.

But, sure, it's just that Bondi isn't tough enough.

I believe her name was Diamond and she was from Australia. The Somali cop saw the She-Devil and shot her dead.

It is fascinating how cops shooting the 5 BLM "martyrs" was the national news story for a summer and this was just local news.

279 Madcow was on TV talking to Jen Psaki-Psak the other day, hilariously claiming Trump is barely aware of his own name and isn't running the government. The woman is delusional, of course, but Nellie Bowles says Trump has had enough. He wants jail!

After all of the work I have done with Medical Exams, Cognitive Exams, and everything else, I actually believe it’s seditious, perhaps even treasonous, for The New York Times, and others, to consistently do FAKE reports in order to libel and demean “THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.” They are true Enemies of the People, and we should do something about it.

This crime may rank low on the ever-expanding list of Propaganda News crimes against America, but not to PDJT. To his way of thinking, all these crimes are part of the same treasonous fabric, and he is mad.

In C. S. Lewis's The Great Divorce, the residents of a grim Pottersville town (Hell) are given the chance to move to a idyllic Bedford Falls (Heaven). All they have to do is repent of their past misdeeds. Almost all of them choose to return to Pottersville.

A theme common in his works are people seeing the true glory of God and choosing hell instead of the forgiveness and grace that is offered. I remember a similiar take at the end of the Narnia series

BREAKING: DNI Tulsi Gabbard says she is targeting radical Islamist ideology infiltrating America, re-vetting "EVERY SINGLE" Afghan national let in under Biden

"This remains the greatest near and long-term threat, not only to the safety and security of the American people, but to the foundational freedoms that exist within our Constitution and western civilization."

"This needs to happen VERY, very quickly."

Tulsi and NCTC Director Joe Kent are making America safe again.

292 Again, Bondi's DOJ put prosecutors in place in the Comey and LeTit James prosecutions that had issues with their legitimacy that were allowed to be exploited.

One mistake, while not understandable, would have been unfortunate, two, is inexcusable and reeks of gross negligence and more than likely, active sabotage.

There was a reason that Matt Gaetz was not allowed to be AG.

Blondi has got to go.

293 It is interesting that when the SC was warming up to over turn RvW a whole host of GOPers, who had damned Trump for not being "really pro-life" suddenly started arguing the RvW should be maintained.

And, I should be clear here, this was NOT sold as a pure political argument of "overturning RvW will Dems political victories" this was a bunch of supposedly "severely pro-life" GOPers decided RvW was a good compromise when it was finally about to be removed after railing against it for decades

I once took Dutch (The Beeg Boy) to a reproductive clinic to be collected. He was all slobbery and goofy around the bait girl until his tackle was grabbed by the technician. At which point he froze up and looked grim. The contrast was almost comical.
