The Morning Report — 2/12/26

Good morning kids. Well, in the wake of yesterday's mass shooting up in Canada I suppose I could say I told you so, but it's getting to a point where you really don't have to be Kreskin or Jeanne Dixon to have predicted a psychotic deviant hopped up on a toxic mix of hormones and leftist sexual propaganda would YET AGAIN, grab a gun and shoot up a school. The usual suspects on the Left are not in denial about the truth, they are actively covering up the truth because it flies in the face of their accursed weltanschauung and in doing so threatens their ability to control the culture, the normal direction of our society and ultimately all of us as free-thinking individuals.

Another mass shooting, and another devastated community. And once again, elites in the media class and public officials are so terrified of offending that they don’t dare ask the obvious question: Why are so many of the most horrifying attacks carried out by people who identify as “trans”? After Canada suffered one of its deadliest school massacres Tuesday, police identified the biologically male shooter as 18-year-old Jesse Van Rootselaar — noting that he began to transition six years ago. That’s right: another deadly attack by someone who is transgender. Yet the elites go to lengths to avoid any suggestion of a linkage. . .
. . . For years, the public has been told that identifying as the opposite sex is simply another harmless expression of one’s self-identity. Questioning it is dangerous, cruel — “bigotry.” Exploring whether transgender identity may signal deeper psychological distress is forbidden. Professionals who dare to raise concerns are threatened with loss of their licenses, professional reputation and livelihood. That dogma has consequences, as another community has learned the hard way.
Let’s admit it: Believing you’re the opposite of your biological sex is simply not a normal, or neutral, position.

Where does all of this insanity come from? It goes back perhaps at least 100 years, with the nascent Soviet Union's attempts at destabilizing the free world in order to promote global Communism to make it the dominant nation/ideology of the world; Subversion of normal culture by attacking societal institutions and norms that propelled the advancement of western civilization for 2,000 years and promoting atheism and sexual deviancy as normal and healthy along with fomenting class, economic, racial and cultural strife would bring about the collapse of the West and usher in the age of socialist paradise on earth.

If you can stomach it just take a look at Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals" or watch Soviet defector Yuri Bezmenov's chilling "Warning to America" from 1984 (the year, not the book!) where he lays it all out. This is a must-see video to show your kids.

Elsewhere and on a very positive note, there's this story that like the above the Democrat/Left political/propganda axis wants buried.

In 2026, murder rates in major U.S. cities dropped to levels not seen since 1900, while violent crime dropped sharply amid President Donald Trump's aggressive deportation efforts. The numbers are impressive: homicides down 21% in 35 large cities, marking the largest single-year decline on record. Overall, violent offenses returned to or dipped below pre-pandemic figures from 2019, robberies decreased by 23%, andcarjackings dropped by 43%. The only category to increase was drug crimes, which rose slightly by 7%.
. . . Yet, in a Nebraskan field, we find legacy media outlets standing in rows, heads planted like ostriches in old cartoons, with their focus on other factors or downplaying the success altogether.
. . . New York Times headline: What’s Behind the Staggering Drop in the Murder Rate? No One Knows for Sure. Deportations Drive the Decline The Department of Homeland Security removed over 2 million illegal immigrants over the past few years, focusing heavily on those with criminal records, and this surge closely aligns with the steep crime reductions seen nationwide.

About that societal dissolution I mentioned earlier, the madness that drives transexual mass murder is a kissing cousin to those who use SUVs, firearms and molotov cocktails to attack ICE and moment insurrection.

And if you can't steal elections with fake citizens just register the insane. Yes you have to be insane to be a Democrat but I mean the literal insane:

New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani (D.) tapped as his health czar the founder of a left-wing nonprofit that registered patients in mental hospitals to vote.

Besides Bellevue, they probably checked the morgues and registered anyone with a toe-tag, and probably all the cemeteries. You can bet NYC is not a one-off and this is likely S.O.P. in every blue metropolis from coast to coast.

But requiring ID to vote is racist and even the notion that our elections are not secure is Right wing propaganda! Unless of course you are a sick, evil bastard like Jamie Raskin engaging in chutzpocritical projection by insisting Trump will steal the midterms!

Have a great day.

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.

The House of Representatives voted Wednesday evening to terminate President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canada after six Republicans crossed party lines to support the measure. . . The vote is largely symbolic, though a similar resolution is expected to pass the Senate by a comfortable margin. The upper chamber approve a similar resolution in October after four Republicans crossed party lines in disapproval of Trump’s Canada tariffs. Trump will almost certainly issue a presidential veto and supermajority of lawmakers in both chambers likely does not exist to override him.

Those in the corridors of power chose a different path. We avoided gouts of blood, gave focus to the nation, and under Eisenhower, made our economy the USSR crusher it turned out to be.

The US in Europe, after Berlin fell, did not have the morale, nor skilled soldiers to fight the Russians on the ground. Plus a continental nature of the fight kept our war-winning naval strength offsides. Finally, we did not have enough nukes to compensate.

I don't think the transgender movement has much, if anything to do with Communism or any other political ideology.

It's straight up mental illness. Whether it's brought on by medications, physical/mental abuse or social pressures is debatable. It's probably any/all of the above. But here's my personal bottom line with it; the left hates us and does everything possible to piss us off at every turn. This is one of them; the championing of mental illness.

In simplest terms; the left will most always take the exact opposite view or side on any issue because they want confrontation, unrest, and for us to be unhappy and on edge. Always.

37 Gary Hart came up on the ONT. I have a Gary Hart story.

Gary Hart is asshoe. My brother was a chef at a fine-dining establishment he frequented. He was always rude and hostile to the staff, a lousy tipper, and always on with the do you know who I am crap, trying to big-time everyone. This was in the late 2000s, mind you - he was no longer a thing.

But, they put up with him, because he was a local celebrity and all the wino AWFLs who constituted approximately 100% of this enclave's population swooned over him.

Finally, though, he became drunk and extremely verbally abusive toward the nice old man who played the piano there. That was the final straw; my brother and the GM banned him for life. The owner was mad at them, but they could no longer tolerate Gary Hart's bullshit.

Donna Rice did this country a real solid.

42 Those in the corridors of power chose a different path.

You mean, the Red infiltrated corridors of power, right NaCly?

We avoided gouts of blood, gave focus to the nation, and under Eisenhower, made our economy the USSR crusher it turned out to be.

Yes, we did. However, we could have used Wehrmacht forces as well. Even though we needed to defeat Germany first, near the end of the war, we should have cut down on the supplies we sent to the Soviets. Let the Eastern Front grind each side up. Maybe that would have been a better idea.

The US in Europe, after Berlin fell, did not have the morale, nor skilled soldiers to fight the Russians on the ground.

Posted by: NaCly Dog at February 12, 2026 07:26 AM (u82oZ)

We could have left the troops in Manchuria attack the Soviets, tie them up there.

But, "what if" is a waste of time. We did what we did and can't undo it.

50 Where does all of this insanity come from?

tldr; Estrangement from God. (ref Romans 1:18-32)

~~~~~~~
I posit that demons in the spiritual world travel via human host. One of the curious results of mass immigration from all over the world, particularly the degenerates and most evil from every nation, is that the demon possessed immigrants bring in their baggage. Occasionally, that baggage ends up going into the spiritually weakened people who won't be deported.

This is all to obvious to those who read Scriptures. The wicked are characterized as those who experiment with drugs, deep in sexual sin, and reject God. Guess what? You have all of these in trannies. There is your Stage IV Reprobation. Here is your demon. Go forth and kill and destroy.

That is Enlightenment "thinking", the whole rejection of a spiritual world even though history is profoundly rich in examples of the occult and spiritual cohabitation with humans.

The Enlightenment destroyed our vocabulary in understanding and replaced it with pop psychology and bullshit materialistic explanations that constantly need to be revisited, emended, contradicted, modified because materialistic "answers" aren't answers, its the language of fools and children who don't have the ability to process what is going on around them.

103 I believe Trump has delayed any military action on Iran for two primary reasons; the first is political. The US simply cannot start a major war in the Middle East without being sure that its allies are on board. Too much equipment and supplies have to transit through their countries to ignore them.

Secondly, after Trump’s initial enthusiasm, I think he was informed of just how hard changing Iran’s regime will be. Now that they are dug in, I don’t see any way to do it through air power alone, yet boots on the ground are not an option. Iran is not Venezuela; this is a much tougher nut to crack.

It's a possibility. The problem comes with ascribing too much logic and sense to the illogical. One thing you always see in their writings is a train of thought that jumps from track to track to track and often reverses course.

They may believe they are on one path, but the diseased mentality and God complex causes them to flit from thought to thought, which are only in the end a rationalization for their twisted impulses.

They already want to kill, then they justify it. Even though it may appear the other way around. Not every time but most.

117 So an update on my father, along with thanks for the Horde's prayers for him.

He's going through PT twice a day, speech therapy once a day and mom is having him do things like word search and crossword puzzles. He's still in the PT wing for now and probably will be there for a while.

Mom is currently getting the VA to boost his disability to 100% and it's as easy as you think it is. She bombed them with all the paperwork she figured would be necessary and copied me on it just in case.

I'm not saying I would go on a spree of mind-numbing violence to get this dealt with but if I happen to ask for money for a lawyer, there is a reason.

Correct. It will never become sentient. They will be able to fake it pretty good at some point. The true danger of AI was always what humans will do with it.

119 114 I believe Trump has delayed any military action on Iran for two primary reasons; the first is political.

With $40T in debt, an outlaw judiciary, a feral Congress and 50 million people needing deporting while the infrastructure all around is crumbling and the population as stupid as a post

Iran's problems are not my problems. I don't want to give the MIC and the NGOs another two trillion dollars and a stack of casualties that cost another two trillion before we spend another two trillion to "rebuild" Iran.

141 25% of the population is under demonic influence.

Lets try 100%. No one is not being tempted by demons.

The Scriptures teach that everyone is subject to varying levels of temptation. The Apostle Paul in Romans 7 writes about the struggle. 1 John goes even further. The LORD was tempted in the wilderness.

There lies a proverbial devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other. For most people they swept away that angel and only can hear from the devil.

Trump seems to like injecting himself into debates and issues- he has to comment on everything. He definitely jumped the gun with 'help is on its way' and we are 'locked and loaded'. He urged the Iranian people to continue to defy the regime. And bless their hearts, the Iranian people believed him- took him at his word.

How this all shakes out, I have no clue. But it won't be good, and I think US prestige is about to take another hit.

Richard Nixon once said (post Presidency) that it can be a dangerous thing to be friends with the US.

It's not that niche. At one point, I ran some analytics (before Alexa got purchased and started charging for even high-level data).

Organic traffic to this site isn't huge, but it's more than enough to justify much more mainstream, less sleazy ads than these.

But, Google effectively sets the ad rates on websites in the US, everything is downstream of them because of SEO, and they use a constantly changing """algorithm""" to do this, and they tell NOBODY how it works. Believe me, I work for a F500 company, and when we want to know why we pay people what we pay them, we get told to shut up and go away.

If Google says " according to analytics, this website has no domain or page authority and is worthless," then that's that, and you have no recourse.

Secondly, after Trump’s initial enthusiasm, I think he was informed of just how hard changing Iran’s regime will be. Now that they are dug in, I don’t see any way to do it through air power alone, yet boots on the ground are not an option. Iran is not Venezuela; this is a much tougher nut to crack.

Today he has a very readable essay, asking what the hell is wrong with white, suburban women.

My argument is we've take away most of their real worries - they either live off a husband or a joke government/NGO jobs, they have few if any kids and take no responsibility for the kids turning out in a traditionally good manner, and with all this free time, energy and money they turn their attention to the issues the FNM tells them are important.

So if you want to fix them: reduce government/NGO jobs, reduce the benefits of frivorice*, encourage this cadre of women to have more children, or perhaps most easily, break up the FNM.

*This will leave them in unhappy marriages taking their hate out on their leftists husbands but that's a price I'm willing to pay...

204 On Iran, Wiki lists the regular Iranian Army as having about 690,000 men, and the IRGC as having just under 200,000. The Basj has an undetermined larger number. All these forces are declared in favor of the regime, and many are deployed in the cities, with and around civilians,

Point is that they have to be broken before the regime can be broken. If we want to do it by air, that means we need strikes designed to kill a number measured in the hundreds of thousands.

205 Cartel judges are now creating amnesty out of thin air to give illegals citizenship.

Writing the illegal has a "substantial
liberty interest" in remaining in the US by virtue of how long they avoided capture.

That phrase, "substantial liberty interest" is a real and actual term of law.
FOR AMERICAN CITIZENS!!!!

That is the phrase used when discussing the full suite of due process rights you, an American citizen, are entitled to.

I said it when he wrote it, but that illegal Midnight Order of Roberts will go down as one of the worst opinions in Court history.

Specifically that he stated that illegals were entitled to due process--without clearly reaffirming that it is "minimal due process."

Trump takes action when he believes it is in the interest of the United States and the American people. Everything he does is through that lens. There are a myriad of complicating issues with Iran and the repercussions of an all out military attack on Iran including things like what impact would it have on this fall's midterm elections and if you don't think Trump launching a war on Iran would give the left a huge weapon to attack you don't know the left.

237 I suspect the problem with the GOPe is that the uniparty/left still has substantial resources to bribe, blackmail, and liable people it wants to target.

So when there are important votes they can go to those pols and make them a deal they can't refuse. Did Mr GOPer have an affair? Or maybe the FNM can just claim he did? Or...would getting another house in warmer climate change the way he'll vote?

It takes a strong man/women to refuse that stuff. And traditionally the GOP electorate was bad at handling this - they'd vote against a conservative politician because the FNM made claims about them not being morally perfect.

And as a side note one of the things that infuriates the FNM about Trump is they can say anything they want about him and right leaning voters don't care. They thought they had Trump dead to rights for saying the word p*ssy or for maybe having an affair with Daniels, or hell even having had a divorce

“Nancy Guthrie had a Nest camera, which is owned by Google, and law enforcement initially believed the doorbell footage was lost and said Nancy Guthrie did not have a premium subscription to access video from her doorbell camera — Now, according to Google, if a Nest camera is disabled, it can still record up to three hours of event video history without a subscription.

So many are wondering, why did it take so long for this video to be released? Well, it takes time for authorities to basically recover this video from Google servers, since Nancy Guthrie did not have a premium subscription that offers special features for video history. And essentially, video is continuously recorded and saved with a subscription, but without a subscription, video is saved until it's overwritten. . .

Look, we live in a surveillance economy and as much as we'd like to think that we can delete things and things will go away, and there are some apps that in fact make things go away, the truth of the matter is that we are tracked. .

246 Gallup will no longer measure presidential approval after 88 years. Trump rating peaked at 47 percent last February and dipped under 37 percent in its last poll taken in December.

The floor is 27%. Alan Keyes running against Obama for Illinois senate proved it. Keyes was from out of state, so you can eliminate any established political base; both candidates were black, so you can factor out racism; and Keyes was plainly, obviously, completely crazy. Batshit crazy. Head-trauma crazy. But 27% of the population of Illinois voted for him. Pure partisan base.

George W. Bush hit a floor of 25% in October, 2008. I think the trick to get from 27% to 25% is to actually be in office and do some demonstrable damage.

"Demonstrable damage?" Trump literally demolished a third of the White House.

There goes 88 years of credibility, flushed down the toilet with the big orange turd. Hope it was worth it Gallup!

No it's the treatments we give them plus the self loathing that drives their dysphoria in the first place. Once the "confusion" gets indulged and the loathing is not curbed inside, the hate turns outward because they aren't left with any explanation anymore.

Where an anorexic gets thinner and thinner and still sees they are fat, our society has indulged them just enough - they get the wig and maybe a snip, and they look in the mirror and know it didn't work. But they can't reason why it didn't work. Why they still feel every bit as fucked up as they did before in their "wrong" body. So they rationalize and decide their misery must be the fault of others.

That's no conspiracy. It's how the GOP caucus operates. If the Party wants something they can always pressure a weak sister, or get them out of office if they won't play ball.

Senate Leadership simply selects which member/s will be throwing the vote, and provide cover for the rest, so they don't have to go on the record.

There is not one Senator from either Party who wants to see clean federal elections. That's just not cricket.

You can't just watch, you must be bombarded with facts (this pairs skater's former partner just wrote a book about him saying he's abusive! This skater's outfit is designed by ----! The music is from the Dune soundtrack!) or worse, really, stupidly obvious observations such as "He won the world championship last year, if he's 'on' tonight, he could win." Like, thanks, pretty sure the few competitors you've chosen to show us are going to be the best/the most obvious contenders to medal.

SHUT UP!

Can't mute or you won't hear the music.

There was this Superbowl ad for Ring doorbell cameras. It was about finding a lost dog. Ring "turns on all the cameras in the neighborhood" to "look for the lost dog."

If Ring (or Google, or whomever) can "turn on" your doorbell or security cameras to "find a lost dog" you are living in a surveillance society by default.

It has nothing to do with a "lost dog."

In one of the recent Indiana Jones movies they had it occur after WWII and of course they get into the Red "Scare" but...at the same time the villains are the Soviets, and they are chasing Jones around in the US.

Now, if its a "scare" then how come Soviet agents can run around with impunity in the US getting in fights with archeologists?

And, here I'm not even really going to ding Spielberg too much, the Soviets make for the next obvious foil for Jones and he just made the story in the established FNM take on the early cold war which...actually doesn't make any sense

It’s a good point, and a reason the war ended the way it did. Casualties were similar on both sides; the Confederacy had about 500,000 men they could put under arms, and lost about 300,000 of them. The Federal forces had at least a million men available, probably more. In a war of attrition, the South had no chance.

272 The job of the census is to go to everybody’s house, and count everybody

There are some presuppositions in this. The job is "enumerate," and almost every categorization process in government AND industry pays more to come up with bigger numbers. To get an accurate representation, you'll need enumerators who also have an incentive to downplay the overcount. No agency has this in its charter.

For some time, we've played hard on the idea that you don't have to be "at your house" to be counted. You can play with this in both directions, but don't be assuming nothin, here. I guess the Constitution is down with the idea that you might live in a tent or a covered wagon or on the street instead of on A street -- but how many times should the same pioneer be counted? The Census is not "Oregon Trail."

No. There could be latent ones who we find out later wanted to trans but weren't accepted. But these aren't those. They are all already playing dress up and they're all still miserable.

324 Watching Bondi call the execrable Jamie Raskin a Washed up fraud was one of yesterdays highlights. A man who used his own sons suicide to make political points about Jan6 is about as bad as you can get. Even for a Democrat, where evil thinking is what's for breakfast, he ranks.

328 Yep… the surveillance state is already in place. Your emails, texts… what you look at on your phone. Probably your car’s location history… what you buy with your credit cards. What you watch on your smart TV. And like most neighborhoods, in mine every time I leave the house multiple Ring (or equivalent) cameras located on every house record my every move…. It’s worse than 1984. I just try not to think about because there’s no way to avoid it… it’s everywhere

330 They want a world where you cannot have a conversation in your own house without a "visit". And I do mean a middle of the night visit but before that maybe just a visit. They were content to keep everyone prisoner in their own homes for a year. Now imagine if they knew what was happening in every house and could track it. It's a commie wet dream. And it unfortunately doesn't stop there because they want access to your thoughts too and will eventually have it.

I know a couple (husband was a childhood friend) who don't own a cell phone, no cable, no smart TV, no computer/tablet, etc. They are my age, late 70's and feel no need for any of that. Roof antenna, which, in our area, will yield over 80 channels/sub channels. Enough for them. Hell, they finally had their electric meter moved from the basement to outside about 10 years ago. Up until that time, someone had to be home to allow the meter reader from PSE&G access to the basement!

334 What the gender-confused need is more acceptance. We are exposing our bigotry when we fail to use their/xir latest pronouns, or worse, ridiculing them, thereby forcing them to strike back. Their/xir murderous rampages have nothing to do with mental imbalance or use of hormones. They/xey just want to be seen for what they truly are at the time, but never as bonkers.

Madison Cawthorn. May actually be decent, I dunno. But when he talked, his own Senator (POS Thom Tillis) who called for him to be investigated and removed - some BS about questionable bitcoin trades or something.

You could definitely tell he was over the target when his own team turned the flak guns on him.

Posted by: Martini Farmer at February 12, 2026 07:28 AM (jtM2q)

The afflicted are just nuts, but the movement to accommodate them is absolutely communist. From a 2005 FrontPage Magazine interview with Theodore Dalrymple: https://archive.is/WBcUY

Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.

Reportedly, the man who had gone off prescribed medication and is now prisoned for setting fire to Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro's mansion April 2025, had twice been treated for bipolar disorder at the Pennsylvania Psychiatric Institute (a PENN State Enterprise) in recent years.

In part, "Seven more New Yorkers have been confirmed to have died primarily from hypothermia since Jan. 19, officials said Wednesday.

The additional deaths were at private homes, and are not being added to the tally of 18 deaths Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced during the height of the recent brutally cold temperatures."
..
"Speaker Julie Menin and others grilled the leaders of the Emergency Management and Social Services departments for nearly six hours.

DSS Commissioner Molly Park said seeing 18 deaths in less than one month is not normal. In an average year, 10-20 people die from hypothermia in the city."

Check voter registration for all, and then the value & size of those 7 private residences.

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi hit back at Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., during a House Judiciary hearing, pivoting from questions about Jeffrey Epstein to celebrate a record-breaking DOW while taking a swipe at Democratic stock trading.

(After watching the hearing, so curious how much of Nadler's lengthy Epstein 'speech,' for one, was written by the law firm associated with US Rep. MG Scanlon & family. I'd bet all.)
