The Morning Report — 12/19/25

Good morning kids. Not to toot my own horn but am I good or what?! In yesterday's Morning Report, I wrote:

we have two separate shootings on two of the nation’s top campuses, Brown University and at MIT. . .Are these incidents all connected somehow. Given the assassination of Charlie Kirk and several failed attempts on President Trump as well as the violent rhetoric and actual violence and acts of terrorism by the Left cheered on and encouraged by the Democrat propagandist media and the Democrats themselves not just in the Trump era but virtually throughout our history. Well anything is possible, and maybe the MIT Professor had links to Academia’s bête noire The State of Israel or was targeted by the Chi-Coms or other foreign state actors? Meh, just spit-ballin’ here. Don’t cost nuthin’. . .

Well, the gunman offed himsef and it turns out he was a Portuguese national, as was his victim at MIT. What his connection to the victims at Brown is unclear, except for the fact that he attended Brown at one point. But here's the kicker:

Israeli officials are reportedly investigating a possible Iranian connection to the murder of senior MIT nuclear scientist Prof. Nuno F. G. Loureiro, who was reportedly shot at his home on Monday evening by unknown assailants and died in the hospital a few hours later. Professor Loureiro, 47, was the director of the Plasma Science and Fusion Center at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), whose faculty he joined in 2016. He was born and raised in Portugal, earning an undergraduate degree from the Instituto Superior Tecnico in Lisbon and a Ph.D. from Imperial College in London, then spending several years at the Institute for Plasmas and Nuclear Fusion in Lisbon before moving to the United States. . . “The Israeli investigation is being conducted against the backdrop of Loureiro’s sensitive field of research,” JP reported. “However, informed sources have emphasized that at this stage, there is no unequivocal determination or evidence linking the murder to a state or intelligence operation.”
The Jewish magazine Forward on Wednesday sought to debunk social media rumors that Loureiro was killed because he was an outspoken supporter of Israel and Jewish people as unfounded. The rumors appear to be based on some social media posts that were mistakenly attributed to Prof. Loureiro, but actually written by someone else using the same name, along with a photo posted to social media that claimed to show a “Stand With Israel” sign in the professor’s window. . . There has been much speculation about such a connection, since the killer has proven remarkably elusive in both cases, and Loureiro’s home in Brookline is only about 50 miles from Brown University, so it would not be difficult for the killer to get from one murder site to the other in less than two days.

Well about me saying "Am I good or what?" I'll go with the "or what" choice. As I said, given everything going on both at home and abroad and the Venn diagram of events intersects at quite a few points. Almost any day of the week, the links we have can be played almost like that old game called "Mad Libs" no not angry leftists but a play on the expression Ad-lib, although there are myriad Mad Libs/angry leftists that populate virtually every link to one degree or another. Where or how the victims and perpetrator in these killings are connected vis a vis the motive is still unknown, and as President Trump is fond of saying, we'll just have to wait and see. Unless of course the propaganda media and their paymasters in the institutional left deem the truth way to inconvenient and damaging to their narrative.

As in this case:

How bad is the establishment media? How much does it present propaganda disguised as news? How low will it stoop? Here’s a case study.
A “Sioux Falls man” was arrested on Tuesday. It seems that this particular Sioux Falls man was minding his own business, not bothering anybody, livestreaming on Facebook, when he suddenly decided to let the world know that all was not right in the world of Sioux Falls Man. He announced, right on his Facebook livestream, that he was planning to burn a building down. He also brandished a gun and a knife. . . Having thus advertised his intentions to the world, Sioux Falls man was arrested, and the local media covered the story. Yet the way that one Sioux Falls “news” outlet presented the facts has implications that go far beyond Sioux Falls and the story of one local boy who went bad. . . You’d reasonably expect, or even assume, that this was a photo of the Sioux Falls man who was livestreaming and announced his plans to commit an act of arson. Yet not only was it not a photo of the perp, but it was a photo that showed someone who was about as different from the perp as it would be possible to get. . . the real Sioux Falls man who issued this arson threat was not the man in KELO’s photo. Instead, he was a black man named Mohamed Mansarry. Likely because of all the attention KELO received from their false photo (End Wokeness has 3.9 million followers on X), it has taken down the story that it initially circulated with the misleading photo; now all there is at that link is a Page Not Found notice. . .
The story that KELO now has up carries Mohamed Mansarry. But what was going on with that other photo? One X user offered the most likely explanation: “The media operates as a laundering service for the regime’s persistent failures. This visual deception in Sioux Falls is a blatant example of narrative control. KELO News substitutes a stock photo of a white man for Mohamed Mansarry to preserve a hollow multicultural illusion. This is a calculated attempt to sanitize demographic reality. You liberal sycophants swallow this visual poison because you fear the truth more than the fire Mansarry threatened to start. The press functions as the propaganda wing of a crumbling state that relies on your blindness to survive.”

At the tail end of the latest edition of the podcast CBD and I were reminiscing about the good old days growing up in the greater NYC area. For me it was the Flatbush/Midwood section of Brooklyn, having graduated from what was an outstanding example of what the concept of the Melting Pot ought to be: Midwood High School, where whatever your religion, ethnicity or background, we all somehow managed to get along and embraced not only our heritages but our common heritage of being American. Anyway, when we were off the air, CBD asked me about notable alumni:

Unfortunately one of my predecessors was Woody Allen and some years after I ventured as far away as across the street to Brooklyn College, came the truly execrable Hakeem Jeffries. I don't know if fellow alums Didi Conn, Morty Gunty or David Peel collectively offset the latter two.

But sadly, one of my own classmates, who long ago and far away I once considered a friend. I haven't seen nor spoken with him in ages and with this story I likely never will:

Thursday on CNN’s “The Lead,” network medical analyst Jonathan Reiner said the “manic cadence” of President Donald Trump’s White House address raised medical concerns.

One of Dr. Reiner's former patients was the late VP Dick Cheney. IIRC way back when when Cheney either had one of his dozens of heart attacks or was diagnosed with a serious heart ailment early on in Dubya's first term, I believe Reiner operated on him, and he became a go-to press source for politician-related medical stories. Anyway, Oh Johnny, my old friend and classmate, it pains me to say this but that you've let yourself descend to the level of being a flaming asshole paid propagandist with an MD shingle is disgusting and disappointing beyond belief. I'm ashamed and embarrassed for you, and I cannot believe we came up together in the same environment.

Perhaps this story is too personal but it is nevertheless illustrative of the nature of both the media as well as how one's personal politics can cloud any sense of ethics and decency, or more frighteningly that their personal politics and blinkered uninformed worldview gives them a sense of moral superiority that they are justified in doing what they do. Lying is truth telling to them. They have gone full Orwellian 1984. Meh, basta cosi.

Elsewhere, shiver me timbers!!!

Patriots of the Caribbean: Sen. Mike Lee Bill Authorizes Privateers to Combat Cartels Outside U.S. Borders — “The Constitution provides for Letters of Marque and Reprisal as a tool against the enemies of the United States,” Lee said. “Cartels have replaced corsairs in the modern era, but we can still give private American citizens and their businesses a stake in the fight against these murderous foreign criminals. The Cartel Marque and Reprisal Reauthorization act will revive this historic practice to defend our shores and seize cartel assets.”

God forbid the Democrats seize control . . . I can imagine them one day deputizing Antifa goons to use deadly force on suspected conservatives! Nous Somme les deux Charlies maintenant - Kirk et Hebdo .

Have a great weekend!

And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

Heh. I like that. But seriously, I remember a few years back when there was a shooting from a sailor that ended at the local base. During the interview:

Reporter: "What was the name of the person?"
Spokesman: "He was a Navy Corpsman."
Reporter: "OK, but what was his name?"
Spokesman: "He was a Navy Corpsman."
Reporter: "Can I buy a vowel?"
Spokesman: "He was a Navy Corpsman."

And then it came out that he was an African migrant who was a Corpsman. Needless to say, the story was strangled quickly.

On Tuesday, it reported newly disclosed evidence that the FBI ignored concerns about not having probable cause to mount its unprecedented raid on Donald Trump’s home in August 2022.

The LIRR Long Island Railroad is a commuter railroad generally running from Manhattan out to the east end of Long Island.

The "subway" is part of the NYC transit system, of primarily subways and a couple of elevated lines that connect four boroughs except Staten Island.

126 Could the Portuguese scumbag legally own and purchase firearms? Yes, if:

Federal Requirements
To purchase a firearm from a Federal Firearms License (FFL) dealer, a legal permanent resident must:

Not be a "prohibited person": LPRs must meet the same baseline eligibility requirements as U.S. citizens. Prohibitions include, but are not limited to, felony convictions, certain domestic violence misdemeanors, a history of involuntary mental health commitments, or being subject to a protective order.
Complete ATF Form 4473: This required form explicitly confirms the individual's LPR status and requires them to attest to their eligibility under penalty of federal perjury.
Pass a NICS background check: The FFL dealer will submit the information to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS).
Provide identification: LPRs typically need a state-issued driver's license or ID card and their Permanent Resident Card (Form I-551, or "green card") which contains their USCIS, AR, or A number

Some state laws mandate additional info be supplied.

A man suspected of killing two people and wounding nine others at Brown University before going on to kill a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor has been found dead in a New Hampshire storage facility, where he had rented a unit, officials said.

Claudio Neves Valente, 48, a Portuguese national and a former Brown student, was found dead on
Thursday evening from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, the Providence police chief, Oscar Perez,
said at a news conference. He added that, as far as investigators knew, the suspect had acted alone.

213 The press functions as the propaganda wing of a crumbling state that relies on your blindness to survive.

-----

This monolithic superstate hasn't yet begun to crumble, but I think we're starting to see the first cracks. They'll be papered over in the next few years, but they will still be there.

I stand by my story - they'll shore it up and increase the pressure on dissent. Maybe they'll even get very violent about that. But a system this blatantly corrupt won't live longer than the people who are teenagers today, and I may well see the regime fall.

My standing prediction is sometime in the late 50s or early 60s.

The fed gov will get worse and worse and the situation will become unbearable by the time boys born ten years from now are coming of age.

Slowly, then all at once.

Portugal is probably the most low-key country in Europe. I can't remember the last time Portugal was in the news for anything.

Maybe when they handed over Macao to China. But I don't remember seeing much news about that, even.

I mean, except for Sarah Hoyt, who grew up there, nobody talks about Portugal.

Looking at overnight stories this morning, like like Tucker finally and completely jumped the shark last night. He was allowed to give a speech at TPUSA, and the clips show a frantic, clearly upset Tucker telling his audience that “Islam is good! We should all be friends with Islam! It’s a huge evil conspiracy to say that Islam is an enemy of western civilization!”

And he went on and on about what a joyful peaceful religion Islam is, it was embarrassing to watch him, it was like watching a little monkey in a hat dance while his organ grinder stood just off stage, smiling.

He made it obvious last night that Tucker is no longer America first - he is Qatar first.

To me, they have always seemed nothing more than the modern-day National Review and CPAC. Not actually doing anything more than talking and enriching themselves from it.

Every president post WW II put the welfare of the American People second to the prosecution of the Cold War. They were all Globalists by definition.

You hit the nail on the head. When the Soviets fell - the Globalism never stopped. Bush Sr was indeed the first culprit.

Trump is quite literally the first Nationalist President in about 100 years, depending on how you view Hoover. Thats quite a shock to the political system. Quite a shock to a national culture that has grown used to be driven by their government rather than served.

Campuses are hostile places for conservatives and people of faith. Neglect by older generations and nostalgic views of a long past liberalism at college don't apply to the reality of colleges today.

Leftist professors harass conservatives in class openly and their flying monkey leftist students join in. They are physically assaulted while the adminstrations do little or nothing, their meetings are interrupted by screaming leftists, adminstrations refuse to pay for speakers from the right while every nasty leftist gets a generous sinecure. Obama and 9/11 took that liberalism and turned it into commie tactics on campus--By Any Means Necessary.

TP was literally a semi safe space where conservative leaning students could meet and talk and act collectively in forcing grudging administration types to recognize them as official student groups which opens the doors to securing free meeting rooms, etc.

If older generations had done their job, colleges would have never become such nasty intolerant places for faithful Christians, Jews, and conservatives.

I think the talk of TPUSA's demise is a bit premature. The number of new chapters and members has exploded since Charlie's murder. The need is still there and there are obviously millions of young people looking for an alternative to the left.

It was bound to be a bit of a messy transition. Charlie was one of a kind and it will take a team to replace him and get back on course but I think the movement will continue in one way or another.

And among their next missions appears to be getting Vance in as 48. That gets huge applause at their meetings whenever it is announced.

Islamic adherents are actually racist themselves--they allow others to join but Arabs and those that can trace their lineage to Mo or his compatriots are the true guardians of Islam. Everyone else is inferior and some sects (Druze, Alawites, Sufi, Shia in Sunni areas and Sunni in Shia areas, etc), are viewed as heretics deserving of the sword just as much as infidels. They look down upon blacks and were quite active slavers back in the day except they ended up killing en masse blacks or making them eunuchs.

I simply do not know. Trump is making an issue of how bad our colleges have gotten and DeSantis in Florida has tried his best to fix his state schools.
But whether these are one off efforts not followed by successors or a sustained campaign, I do not know.

Most GOP governors and state legislatures simply neglect dealing with the noxious and toxic colleges other than tut tutting and taking out an occasional nutjob administrator or professor. Drops in the ocean.

They don't move against DEI on campus (which is the kernel of commie activists in administration and the professorate), they don't fix the rotten system of student funding, allow costs to proliferate, and they spend more time worrying about who is football coach and AD than they do about their academics.
