The Morning Report — 2/13/26
Russia has indicated it will defy U.S. sanctions and other restrictions enacted by U.S. President Donald J. Trump against the exportation of oil to Cuba. In what the Kremlin is describing as a “humanitarian” arrangement, the Russian Embassy in Havana states that “as far as we know, Russia is expected to supply oil and petroleum products to Cuba as humanitarian aid in the near future.”The decision by the Russian government comes as Cuba faces its worst energy crisis in at least a decade. Following the ouster of Venezuela’s Marxist dictator, Nicolás Maduro, by the U.S. military earlier this year, Cuba lost a key supplier of oil and fuel, turning what was already a dire situation facing the Caribbean island’s communist government into an unprecedented crisis.Of course Russia has had a longstanding relationship with Cuba going back to the Soviet era as a forward base of communism right on our doorstep so to speak. With the collapse of the Soviet Union and the Estern bloc, the Cuban economy has essentially been on life support, propped up by the Latin American Communist dictatorships that both the Soviets and the Castro regime helped foster over the past 66 years. And with Maduro gone and much of Latin America turning away from socialism towards freer and more open societies, Cuba might very well be at long last on the verge of liberation. Aside from the aforementioned longstanding ties, My guess is that Putin is trying to use Cuba as a way to leverage a more advantageous outcome with Ukraine vis a vis the supposed peace negotiations. So the question is, weird as it is the same as it was in 1963 during the Cuban missile crisis, what will the US Navy do if it encounters a Russian tanker or cargo ship heading towards Cuba on the high seas? Russia is at best a major rival if not a strategic enemy of the United States, but what the hell is Mexico's excuse?
Two Mexican Navy ships docked in Cuba on Thursday carrying humanitarian aid for the Caribbean island nation in the middle of a severe energy crisis. The ships carried hundreds of tons of food and supplies. The Mexican government said that one ship contained 536 tons of food – including milk, beans, sardines, and cookies – while the other contained about 277 tons of powdered milk, according to the Associated Press. The arrival of aid comes weeks after President Donald Trump increased pressure on the Cuban economy, threatening tariffs against any nation that supplies Cuba with oil. Cuba has since instituted increasingly strict rules around the use of its remaining fuel supplies. . . . . . “The energy pressure that Trump is exerting on Cuba places Mexico in a dilemma that is very characteristic of its entire history of diplomatic relations with the United States and Cuba,” Cuban historian Rafael Rojas told The Guardian. “Mexico is yielding to the demands of the United States – and on the other hand it maintains its solidarity with the island.”We took out Maduro because he was running tons of lethal drugs into America and had very close ties with both the Chi-Coms and the Iranians, all of which posed an incredible threat to our national security as well as the safety of our citizenry. Considering the illegal alien border invasion, the destruction and chaos that has come from Mexico for decades is arguably orders of magnitude worse! Mexico's leader, Claudia Scheinbaum is an avowed socialist and no great fan of America. So, if we seize some Mexican ships or send them down to Davy Jones' Locker, what of it? I certainly hope the long-suffering Cuban people can at long last taste freedom and move their country forward. To see the heads of leftists and Commies here explode as the statues and murals of the Castros, Marx and Lenin are dynamited and sledgehammered off the walls of Cuban buildings is just too delightful to anticipate. ¡Viva Trump, y Cuba Libré Ahora y Por Siempre!
. . . “I don’t think it’s any mystery that we are not big fans of the Cuban regime, who, by the way, are the ones that were propping up Maduro,” (Secretary of State Marco)Rubio said the day after Maduro’s arrest.

I got into a conversation with a cute Venezuelan girl who lives in Montreal 15 years ago or so, who truly believed the entire Castro "Blockade" lie.
"The bloackade is not fair, why can't American's send John Deere tractors to help out the poor farmers in Cuba?"
"First off, it's not a blockade, it's sanctions because Castro decided to expropriate a lot of American's properties when he took over. Second, there's nothing stopping Cuba from importing tractors from Europe or Japan. You know why they don't import tractors from Europe or Japan? Because the only thing they have to trade for it is sugarcane. Meanwhile you don't see any Americans down in Havana picking up the prostitutes there because it's mainly Canadians and Europeans taking them up on their offers."
She never brought up Cuba again.

Let the Russians and Mexicans divert assets to fuel Cuba. Cuba's a country on the edge not just because of lack of fuel, but because they did no maintenance or upgrades in their entire electrical sector.
This takes precious assets that could be sold on the spot market for plenty of money, and drop it into a drain that will waste the gift.

Its funny because I remember back when Lon Horiuchi summarily executed Vicki Weaver who was unarmed, absolutely no thread to anyone, breaking no lawns, and carrying a baby at the time, the left argued in mass that if you associate with people disobeying "lawful" government actions and you get shot that is on you and not only did they dismiss charges against Lon, they declared anyone that wanted him charged to be a traitor, a racist, and a NAZI.

Back then the left wanted anyone that joined a militia to "defend their community from the government" thrown in prison if not summarily executed.
And here's the thing that makes it even more insane - they argued the same damn things they argued in the 90s after Jan 6, 2021.
The only principle they've held consistently is people opposing a leftwing government should be punished and maybe killed, people opposing a rightwing government should be rewarded and protected no matter what actions they take to do so.

They temporarily took over a BLM facility. After doing so the feds pursued them and in Fincum's case chased him down and shot him in the back.
The government and FNM argued it was a good shoot solely because he was armed and involved in an anti-government protest even though at the time his pistol was holstered, he was wandering in the woods, and again he was shot in the back.

There are two ways to lower inflation: cut spending and raise taxes.
Tariffs are taxes, and as such are inherently anti-inflationary. The amounts of money we are taking about here is small compared to the deficit so the improvement in turn would be small, but they can't be inflationary.
And the funny thing is whenever the left acknowledges inflation their answer is ALWAYS raise taxes, never cut spending. But we've somehow found the one singular tax they oppose

They will then demand the return of some unnamed illegals, or else.
The media will have a field day. Trump will be forced to backtrack on the whole deportation op.
Five years from now it will be revealed to have been a CIA plot all along and the Guthrie's were in on it.

Well, opposed to having no federal tax, obviously.
Since tariffs are a sort of sales tax, it might not be bad.

Well, opposed to having no federal tax, obviously.
Since tariffs are a sort of sales tax, it might not be bad.
Especially if we can figure out a way to lower local sales taxes (9%! here in mine on top of property taxes).
Posted by: SpeakingOf at February 13, 2026 08:49 AM (6ydKt)
I have long thought that we need a Constitutional Amendment which sets out:
- One unified tax (income, sales, property, whatever) with a total maximum. The percentage of the whole claimed by each level of government is to be specified - I'd argue that most of it should be reserved for more local governance.
- A requirement that each level of government spend no more than the amount brought in by that tax in the previous year. Any year without a budget, or with excess spending, everyone at that layer of government is removed from office and barred from ever serving in any capacity in any government ever.

=====
Normal Senate rules allow for a cloture vote that stands in place of actual debate.
Actual debate can be enforced (the standing or talking filibuster, so to speak), as every Senate is given time to debate the bill, going through all 100 Senators until there's no one left. That replaces the cloture vote, and they can pass things with a 50+1 vote majority, the 60 vote majority being for the cloture vote which is no longer necessary.
But that requires Senators showing up to the Senate well for days in a row. It's a tall order.

We'll see - when the internet first dropped, the promise Big Tech to corporate America was "this will revolutionize commerce and make you rich" - and it did.
When social media dropped, their promise to corporate America was "this will revolutionize marketing and make you richer than ever," and it did not. The same old methods of internet marketing are still completely dominant (though more refined), and social media marketing is a sideshow.
The new promise to corporate America is that "AI will allow you to fire everyone and live on golden thrones in crystal palaces and hopefully one day we can just gas the ones we don't hunt for sport at our drug-fuelled AI music festivals in the desert."
I too think their reach will exceed their grasp, but it remains to be seen.

Collins I don't mind, actually.
Her vote is actually quite reliable when needed. Leadership lets her take the Dem side of votes if the votes are otherwise there. She voted to confirm Kavanaugh because leadership needed it, for instance. That has allowed her to keep her seat in Maine.
Murkowski, McConnell, and Thillis are snakes, though. At least we're losing two of them next year.

Good start.
I would take a continuum of action. Judges rise based on good decisions and lack of more citizens being killed, molested, or robbed by a released prisoner.
But if someone you release kills another, or a case is overturned, then they drop in status, going down to municipal traffic court. From there, more mistakes ensure a removal from the legal profession.
Tie good decisions with job tenure.

From a Forbes article in October 2025:
Cubans Could Soon Become Russia’s Largest Foreign Fighting Force. Russia is increasingly outsourcing its war in Ukraine. To offset record losses and dwindling recruitment, Moscow is importing manpower from abroad. According to press statements by Ukrainian officials, as many as 25,000 Cubans could soon be fighting for Russia, overtaking North Koreans as the largest contingent of foreign troops on the battlefield.
It could be Russia thinks the war will drag on, and oil for more troops isn't a bad deal for them. Otherwise, I don't see how potentially provoking the US helps them in any way, and could SERIOUSLY backfire if Trump starts directly helping Ukraine.
Hell, a swift US military victory in occupied Ukraine right before the midterms would probably really help Trump's approval ratings going into the midterms. We'd obliterate the Russians, look powerful, and historically that always helps the president in the short-term.

“Six Republicans in the House of Representatives joined with nearly every Democrat to pass Joint Resolution 72, which seeks to terminate a national emergency that Trump declared last February imposing tariffs on Canada. That came even as Trump openly threatened lawmakers who crossed him, writing that Republicans who oppose tariffs "will seriously suffer the consequences come Election time."

"pathways to freedom"
They can leave any time - they simply have to go home.
How quickly they shift from pathway to citizenship -> freedom.

From above, 'Anarchists Get Sloppy' (Progressive Climate Defiance)
Yes, it's excellent. They've circled back, crazier with each pass (imho). >Dec. 2024, 'Hollywood Elites Bankrolling Environmentalist Group Disrupting Events Across the US, Tax Forms Show
Climate Defiance took credit for Biden's attacks on oil and gas projects'
They've regrouped with the blessings of MSM and so many more. >CNBC, Feb. 12, 2026, 'Trump revokes EPA finding on greenhouse gas threat in huge blow to climate change regulations'
(Having working for a fed. agency or two years ago, seeing some of what went into rulemaking & often the shenanigans of alleged scientific experts, Trump's EPA didn't make a bad call.
Wondering if Isra Hirsi has continued her involvement with & leadership of US Youth Climate Strikes?) 🤔

'Review uncovers arrests of ICE agents' By Ryan J. Foley, AP
In part, "At least two dozen U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement employees and contractors have been charged with crimes SINCE 2020, and their documented wrongdoing includes patterns of physical and sexual abuse corruption, and other abuses of authority, a review of The Associated Press found." (Emphasis mine.)
Primarily under the Biden-Harris administration?
"Kerlikowsky said ICE agents are particularly "venerable to unnecessary use of force issues, "given that they often conduct enforcement operations in public while facing protests. With the number of ICE detainees nearly doubling since last year to 70,000, employees and contractors responsible for overseeing them are also facing challenging conditions that can provide more opportunities for misconduct."
Please note, Kerlikowsky served as commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection from 2014 to 2017.
And who's administration 2014 to 2017? Yes indeed, it was O & Joe's.
