The Morning Report — 12/25/25

Good morning kids. Merry Christmas! Going to try and keep it light this morning. Among the usual madness and mayhem there are some positive headlines, including the election of yet another conservative/right or at least non-Communist/Socialist, this time in Honduras. So along with Milei in Argentina, Bukele in Nicaragua, Kast in Chile we now have Asfura in Honduras.

Perhaps 2026 will be the year that the long suffering Venezuelan people will be liberated from the kleptocratic, narco-terrorist Commie/Socialist Chavista/Maduro junta and taste freedom, hopefully forever. Trump's reinvigoration of the long moribund Monroe doctrine is reshaping foreign policy in this hemisphere for sure and no doubt making our enemies and rivals further afield sit up and take notice as well.

As for our enemies right here at home, President Trump had a very special Christmas message:

President Donald Trump sent Christmas wishes to all Americans on Christmas Eve, singling out the “Radical Left Scum” as recipients.

Far be it for me to criticize the President for his language insofar as anyone who has read this column or listened to the podcast know (latest episode linked here and in the sidebar as well as at the usual outlets listed at the end of this post)... that I certainly don't mince words about my feelings for those on the Left end of the spectrum. And considering this is Christmas, though I'm not Christian, I will go so far as to reiterate my wishes for Democrat/Leftists: May the Good Lord in Heaven open their hearts and minds so that they may at long last recognize the evil that has infected them, so they can repent, seek forgiveness and preserve their souls from eternal damnation. Amen.

But that said, I give you this radioactive madness to underscore my utter detestation of them:

“How the far right stole Christmas,” authored by Rome correspondent Hannah Roberts.  Politico Frames European Christmas Celebrations as ‘Far-Right Spectacle’

Translation: We have orgasms when Muslims slaughter Christians anytime anywhere and especially at Christmas markets! These are the same bastards who claim Jesus Christ to have been a some sort of negroid Palestinian mulatto and that every wetback who crosses the Rio Grande is akin to Mary and Joseph fleeing persecution, etc. ad nauseam. And that putting up nativity scenes in schools is a crime against humanity while transsexualism and other perversions in he schools are healthy and wholesome.

Meh, I could go on for days but as I said, it's Christmas and better to keep it light. Oh well, I failed. Apologies for micturating in your Christmas morning corn flakes. Mr. President, you are so right, the Left are SCUM.

Other than that, quite a good essay from John Stossel that somehow needs to be drummed into the hollow heads of our youth who are all hot and horny for socialism.

If you're hitting the road, safe travels, especially in the norhteast. Again, Merry Christmas and God bless you all.

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.

28 We have 3 socialist markets in the US:
1. Social Security - Failed in 86 and revised to fail again in 38 or so. It will now fail in 33.
2. Mediscare - Designed to never cost more than $20 billion. Last year is was $848 B.
3. Obamacare - Designed to penalize non-participants and Cadillac Plans to pay for lower income working people plans. Not really insurance but more of a pay as you go system. Bailed out twice in COVID and Democrats ended that in IRA 2022.

So the smartest, brightest, bestest people in the USA have tried 3 bites at the Socialism Apple and failed miserably 3X.

39 I have (unfortunately) had an aversion to Christmas owing to several childhood memories of our single (eventual suicidal) low-wage-working mother -- abandoned by our father and never being able to earn five figures in a year (I used to file her income tax forms in my early teens, and too proud to take any government handouts) -- passed out drunk every Christmas Morning, and depressed that she could not afford to buy her children any Christmas gifts.

And yet (driven by the intense desire to escape poverty and laser-focused hard work) ... I eventually achieved The American Dream (despite my two brothers becoming drug and alcohol abusers).

My Mother Was A Sadly Innocent Saint, too good for my father and especially This World.

I am retiring next year, and my first bucket-list item (plans already made) is a visit to The Holy Land.

My big question before then is: Do I Want To Be Baptized Anew In The Jordan River (at an age considerably beyond 29) by a Messianic Jewish Rabbi?

I've always felt more Old Testament than New Testament, but have to admit that I cry during every episode of "The Chosen."

I will report back in 10 months ... Merry Christmas!

62 Apollo 8 was insanely risky from a cursory glance, the more you drill down on it and the program overall generally, the more you learn, the more you realize those guys were truly remarkable. They were selected from a vocation where death was routine, I suppose.

There were a lot of “firsts” on 8, notably the first time humans had crewed the Saturn V, and I think it was only the third time the design had flew. Grumman was having a lot of technical problems with the lunar module, it was not ready to fly and so the mission planners decided to turn what was intended to be an earth orbit only shakedown mission into YOLO orbit around the Moon.

They made everything as “safe” as it could humanly be, but there are several points in the long daisy-chain of events where there is no backup plan or redundancy and if something goes wrong they would be dead. Maybe a permanent funereal monument orbiting the Sun, or stranded on the Moon.

Data Sharing Restrictions: The law limits access to DMV records by federal immigration authorities. Information can only be shared with a court order or warrant.

What about Equal Protection? Equal Rights?

86 Legendary San Francisco socialite, TV host and columnist Pat Montandon has died at the age of 96, her son Sean Wilsey announced this week.

In the 1960s, while living in a notorious house on Lombard Street that she would later claim was cursed, Montandon was a familiar face to San Franciscans. The city knew her under several guises: author, gossip columnist, activist, party girl, friend of the stars and TV personality. As CBS host Jack Hanson once told her, “You’re one of those people who just seems to be famous.”

91 Graham was kind of an asshole, but he had to be I suppose. He was up against some brain dead radicals who thought everything should be “free”, while he was making money hand over fist. He pointed out the bands aren’t playing for free, and the staff, roadies, lighting crews don’t work for free, etc.

A group called the “MFers” demanded he set aside a free night, or they would burn down the Fillmore. He did agree to their demands, briefly. All the bums showed up on the Wednesday “freel night and vandalized the place. No more “free” nights.

She was charged with DUI after a traffic stop earlier this month

The report stated that Bucci cried out that she had "told her kids if they ever became a cop I'd k*ll them."
She added, "only clowns become cops."
Bucci was charged with a misdemeanor DUI and released on a $1,000 personal recognizance bond

So Illegals have more Rights than citizens.

Illegals aren't "subject to the jurisdiction" says the 14th Amendment.

That is why they aren't subjected to the inhumane laws, regulations, mandates and abuses of the prevailing authorities as "citizens".

An example is that you are denied a job, income, mobility, the ability to trade, education and medical care if you were an American citizens who didn't receive the Jab or wear a mask.

OTOH, tens of millions of foreigners were allowed to keep their God given civil rights and had no impediments forced upon them.

I had a friend who left his home and car unlocked despite a sketchy neighborhood. His strategery? Don't own anything anyone would want to steal.

Everything else is a Cat & Mouse game where people who want to keep their valuables are changing tactics and the criminal element keeps picking up new counter-measures.

Of course, you can spend money, like garaging it, paying for security. etc. Those are just physical impediments that slow a determined thief.

Everything can be stolen. As another friend observed, they will steal it. If you nail it down, they will pry out the nails and steal it.

So the wisdom of the campers in bear country where one sleeps with his track shoes on comes in to play.

AI had ideas...

To keep your car from being stolen, use a layered approach with products like steering wheel locks (The Club, Tevlaphee) for visual deterrence, Faraday bags (Ticonn) for key fob signal blocking, immobilizers (aftermarket or built-in) to cut fuel/power, and GPS trackers (Vyncs) for recovery, plus common sense habits like locking doors and parking smart. Etching your VIN on windows adds another layer, making parts harder to sell.

132 Far-right parties are claiming the festive season as their own, recasting Christmas as a marker of Christian civilization that is under threat and positioning themselves as its last line of defense against a supposedly hostile, secular left.

A few centuries ago, the Puritans and their spawn for a number of generations banned the spectacle of Christmas under the Regulatory Principle of observing only those things that the Scriptures specified.

That is, the annual celebration of Christ's birth isn't Scriptural so therefore they yeeted that from their society.

Which is just as well, a pedant would observe Christ's incarnation on September 11th.

The economy is set to explode like it did under sane American policies in 2018/19 rather than government controlled money supply bullshit that followed it.

I would welcome a shutdown as it never affects our middle class.

150 My first wife's car, a VW Jetta GLi was stolen and stripped in the capitol city. The city cops called, about a month after the car was stolen asking why it was in such and such location in S.E. Washington D.C.... a notoriously bad part of the city.

I deadpanned.... it was reported stolen a month ago. You're just now letting me know? Thanks.

And hung up.

The insurance claim and everything else had already been taken care of. The local cops had our original report and she had a new car. Even back then, D.C. was a shithole.

164 I worked in a "Treatment Center" for teen offenders, and there were many sent there from DC, South Philly, and the close to DC Maryland suburbs. Some had stolen hundreds of cars. They went to "school" etc., but it was basically a holding tank until the "residents" were old enough to go to adult jail.
I once asked one of the therapists how many were amenable. He said, "maybe 15%". I was a carpenter who fixed the damage they caused. Got tired of it after two years.

Besides, the Venezuelans need to run the regime out of town so that there can be no doubt that the people there thoroughly reject the current government. No propaganda against a yankee-installed government for the commies to use.

Translation: We have orgasms when Muslims slaughter Christians anytime anywhere and especially at Christmas markets!

What is it that many have stated? "They don't kill us because we are Nazis, they call us Nazis so they can justify killing us."

I think the same applies here. They don't cancel Christmas and New Year's celebrations because they are "far right spectacle", they call the celebrations "far right spectacle" so they can justify cancelling them. And they cancel them to appease their Muslim conquerers.

214 While Americans are ready to forget the Greatest Generation, in towns across Europe, they cherish the memory of the men who fought to save Europe in December 1944.

In Parts Of Europe, Many Still Remember America’s Greatness, Especially At Christmas

People in parts of Europe remember because many of them lived it. Americans forget, because they didn't live it. Other than 09/11/2001 Islamic terrorist attacks, Americans have not experienced war personally on their doorsteps. So it's easy to forget something that no one has experienced.

Always reminds me of this from "Lord of the Rings":

"The world is changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air. Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it."

As the older generations pass on, there are fewer and fewer people remaining who remember the past. Even worse is the fact that the left has used their Long March Through the Institutions to propagandize to the younger generations to make sure they don't learn about the past.

Mamdani Appoints NYC’s First Lesbian Fire Commissioner

More DEI that will lead to death in NYC, just as it did in Los Angeles with their DEI appointees:

Crowley’s status as the first LGBTQ fire chief appears at the top of her bio on the LAFD site. [. . .] Kristina Kepner, the first lesbian Assistant Chief and a graduate of the Harvard Kennedy School for Managing Diverse Organizations, was accused of a domestic violence incident involving her girlfriend. Kristine Larson, who has a degree in Sociology, headed ‘Equity on Fire’, an organization complaining that the LAFD was sexist and racist, was then rewarded with the title of the LAFD’s first lesbian Equity Bureau Chief with a $399,000 salary. Meanwhile, Jamie Brown became the LAFD’s first lesbian Training Commander.

Crowley, Kepner, and Brown were all paramedics, not firefighters. Diversity mandates led to paramedics being referred to as ‘firefighters’ and being promoted to fire captains and battalion chiefs and then to the top echelons of the LAFD.
