The Morning Report — 3/23/26

Good morning kids. So, tick tock, tick tock. . .


Trump Draws Red Line: 48 Hours To Open Strait Or U.S. Strikes Begin

The president has promised to "obliterate" Iranian power plants if Tehran does not comply.

Well, time's up. . .

On Saturday, March 21, President Donald Trump delivered a 48-hour ultimatum to the Iranian regime to stop terrorizing the strategic Strait of Hormuz or face devastating consequences. The Iranian Islamic regime has defied the ultimatum and promised to shut down the strait altogether.. . .It is hardly surprising that the Iranian regime is doubling down, considering that it is run by fundamentalist Muslim fanatics who truly believe Allah has given them a mission to fight the “great Satan” America to the death. This defiance does, however, illustrate clearly to the world why the joint U.S.-Israel Operation Epic Fury is necessary and how fully justified Trump is in carrying through on his ultimatum.

Trump had warned, “If Iran doesn’t FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

It is a shame that the long-suffering Persian people are going to suffer even more because of the intransigence and belligerence of the Mullahs who are hell bent on bringing about Armageddon as the precursor to global Shiite Islamic conquest.

For those who question if this trip was necessary, give Iran's 47-year bloody wave of terror not only in the Middle East but across the globe, (that has spilled rivers of American blood to the tune of "Death to America!") which is on top of Islam's 1500 year wave of terror. So, if scimitars, firearms and tanks and planes won't do the trick, there are always ICBMs.


The position taken by Obama, Democrats, the media and, more recently, Tucker Carlson, is that we should accept Iran’s claims about its military capabilities, whether it comes to its nuclear weapons or its ballistic missiles. After all, a bunch of Islamic terrorists would never lie to us. Would they? . .

. . . Iran launched ballistic missiles at the joint US-UK military base in Diego Garcia on Friday, demonstrating a weapons capability that goes beyond what Tehran was known to have possessed.

The base, a strategic airfield that can host B-2 stealth bombers located nearly 2,500 miles (4,000 kilometers) away from Iran, suffered no damage, according to a person familiar with the matter speaking on condition of anonymity.

The media is now busy pretending that we had no idea that Iran had that kind of capabilities despite repeated warnings, including the Obama Iran Deal, that Iran had missiles capable of hitting European capitals. . . Netanyahu said in an interview with right-wing podcaster Ben Shapiro on Monday that Iran is developing intercontinental ballistic missiles with a range of about 8,000 kilometers, warning that Tehran’s expanding weapons program could threaten major American cities. The Iranian missiles could “put New York City, Boston, Washington or Miami under their atomic guns,” the Israeli prime minister said.

. . . imagine that the ICBMs Iran lied about having don’t simply travel 2,000 miles, but 4,000 miles or more, which would allow them to strike a major city in the United States.
“That’s what they’re planning to do. Now, imagine that those ICBMs are tipped with nuclear warheads, which they were planning to do as well. So, we have to face a very difficult situation,” he said before noting that while gas prices are temporarily higher as a result of the war, they will return to normal.


And speaking of tyrannical regimes and malign, evil oppressors . . .

So many people inside the United States believe the left’s narrative about the United States today, the question becomes very real: can the nation survive the presence within it of a large and growing population of people who hate it and wish to see it destroyed?

For the left, the truth doesn’t matter as much as the narrative. And if the narrative is incendiary enough, and they can convince enough people to believe it, it could indeed be destructive, and even bring the whole nation down, with incalculable effects for the world at large. The narrative that the left is pushing hard right now is a variation on a theme it has harped upon repeatedly since the war in Vietnam and even before that, from the time of the beginning of the Cold War. . . And so we come to one Joe Iosbaker, a 67-year-old leader of the Freedom Road Socialist Organization (FRSO), which describes itself as “a national organization of revolutionaries fighting for socialism in the United States. Our home is in the working class.” FRSO’s rhetoric is pure 1930s-era Marxist agitprop, as if the Stalinist purges, the gulags, the Chinese Cultural Revolution and the Khmer Rouge killing fields had never existed: “We are organizing the united front against monopoly capitalism — with the strategic alliance of the multinational working class and oppressed nationality movements at its core. This is our general strategy for revolution in the U.S.”


With that from friend and friend of the blog Robert Spencer as the set-up, Raw Egg Nationalist takes it further, a lot further than maybe we'd like to go . . .

The transformation of El Salvador dramatically illustrates a point made by Friedrich Nietzsche, one that’s often missed. In The Genealogy of Morals, Nietzsche set himself the task of revealing the non-moral origins of various institutions, including morality itself. One of his main targets was the state and the notion of a primitive “social contract.” Far from originating in a friendly handshake and an agreement among equals, the state was birthed in blood. Before the state was the state, it was ravaging barbarians—the blonde beasts—who descended on less warlike peoples and subjugated them. Over time, through great violence, these pitiless lords shaped and molded their captives into citizens, self-regulating creatures that could live together, act responsibly, and obey commands. . .

The broader point—that great violence is an inescapable part of the civilizing process—is obviously true. Historians of medieval Europe have shown that, generation after generation, something like 1 percent of the male population was put to death in the name of law and order. The peaceful, high-trust societies that European governments are now destroying through mass immigration—societies where murder was no longer a valid social strategy, only the rare product of intoxication or sexual jealousy—existed because the most violent people were systematically put to death until their genes were expunged for good. . .

Predictions make fools of us all, they say. Bukele may prove a lone exception in the Americas: a leader of unusual will and a ruthless pragmatism who is prepared to assert the rights of the peaceful majority against those of the small minority of murderers, rapists, drug dealers, and pimps who once acted with impunity.

Have a great day!

29 More and more, I'm convinced that China is way worse off than anyone knows.

I think their population is 200-300 million less then they claim.
And every one of their economic numbers are likely 20-30% overstated.

One of the biggest, most obvious recent lies that I see the left desperately repeating is their claim of this massive increase in solar power production.
Simply, you don't build solar if you can build coal. And you don't build coal if you can build nuclear.

Venezuela and Iran both fed China oil at, I bet, 10% of market price--$200 million of oil for $20 million. Hundred-plus times a year.
All gone.
Iran shilling is funded by China; they desperately need the war to end.

There are, according to YT comments, people on the left who believe that the Trump Administration, over the past several years (don't try to make it make sense), have fired thousands of social security workers so that they can then use the tax dollars for a new wing on the White House.

These people are beyond uninformed. They're anti-informed.

Posted by: I used to have a different nic at March 23, 2026 07:47 AM (ExV1e)

41 There were originally 716 A-10 aircraft built for the U.S. Air Force, with approximately 281 still in service as of recent reports.

Seems to me they need to do what they are doing for the Buff. Find a commercial engine and retrofit the frames for another 20 years of service.

Like this:
The General Electric CF34 is a civilian high-bypass turbofan developed by GE Aviation from its TF34 military engine. The CF34 is used on a number of business and regional jets, including the Bombardier CRJ series, the Embraer E-Jets, and Comac ARJ21/C909.

There are 7,500 engines in service.

I'm glad he did it because even if the mullahs cling to power he'll have so degraded them that they won't be a threat to us for 20 years at least.

The only way to get rid of them would be to send in large numbers of troops on the ground and I'm dead set against that... but I can live with this kind of less-than-perfect success. It had to be done and we finally got a president with the cajones to do it

68 One way the B52 has extended its life is by decreasing its footprint. There are less than a hundred in service out of thousands.

The AF loves the A10. It is very sexy because it's a butt in a seat. Of a jet. And the whole rest of the military loves them.

71 The thinking at the AF is that the A-10's mission, to kill Soviet tanks in Europe during WWIII, is over. That's just being short sighted and wanting money for some other shiny thing.

Be that as it may, the "Skyraider II" a militarized Air Tractor AT-802 agricultural aircraft fulfills some of the CAS role the A-10 does. "Some." It's more of a SpecOps toy.... IMO.

It probably could shoot up IRGC speed boats and other lightly skinned targets if brought into theater.

I don't believe for a second that the US and Iran had "talks". Trump is backing down from an insane threat and is trying to save face. And I wouldn't be surprised if there's also some convenient insider trading happening as well.

This is strictly for the markets and he’s back to his set up a due date distraction. Too bad the “other side” hasn’t spoken to this “deal”. Trade accordingly.

Sounds like stock market manipulation for him and his buddies yet again, tomorrow it will be another statement. Complete and total corruption.

Announcement was pre-US-mkt-open, and meant to delay TACO's threat for full trading week. Iran is NOT negotiation w this liar, and - even if it were - his promises about bomb strikes are MEANINGLESS. Negotiation=SneakAttackInProgress for TACO liar.

109 AF wanted to rid themselves of the A-10 because they sold people on the faulty idea their other airframes, with the new gen of munitions, could fulfill the CAS and other roles of the A-10. They also posited the A-10 didn’t have the stealth and engagement survival ability of the new gen like the F-35.

They were wrong. Low and slow still has a role, as we see. The A-10 can loiter longer, be effective at CAS, elude a lot of munitions, take out drones more effectively and play a very specific role in the battle space. Not that it matters, but the price tag is cheaper too.

The left knows nothing of his protection of Whitey Bulger (and his brother, the MA politician).
Or that he was the FBI head who let Epstein roam free.
They have no idea how senile he was, merely the face of the prosecution.
They really believe that he "proved" Trump colluded. Not a one knows they "tried" the entire case via indictments and press conferences.
Never investigated any witnesses or claims.
Or how they desperately made sure none of the Russians charged ever got to even the evidence stage.

But more hilarious--and frightening--was some claiming the Rs "leaked" the name of covert CIA agent Valarie Plame in retaliation back when.

I mean ... they never, ever let go of their lies no matter how much evidence proves it a lie.

Will Israel pause attacks, too? I dunno. I hope not.

Regarding attacks on power plants - I think electricity generation by most Iranian power plants can be stopped by severing natural gas pipelines. I believe most Iranian power plants nowadays run on natural gas. If pipelines are buried it seems to me we and the Israelis have penetration bombs that can do the job. Mossad likely has very detailed pipeline maps. Do this and you leave the plants and transformers ready to go. Pipelines can be repaired quicker than repairing/replacing turbines and transformers. IRGC pipeline repair crews can be killed or kept away by air attacks.

145 Investigators could find “nothing” criminal on Phares during their probe, according to the lead case agent, and in fact, they concluded he was “honest.” Yet Mueller’s team continued to secretly spy on Phares—without providing the powerful federal spy court any of the exculpatory evidence that could clear Phares as required by law.

The agent told investigators in a separate 2020 internal FBI review that “there were no corroborating facts that tied Crosswind [the codename for Phares’s case] to certain facts that we thought were originally true,”

The Process is the Punishment.

157 A small reminder, related to Tucker Carlson:

Mel Gibson, actor and director, had an incident back in 2006. when he was pulled over for a DUI. During the stop he began ranting and raving that it was the fault of the Jews.

He was cancelled and blacklisted.


Tucker, on the other hand, isn't a one-time thing, nor under the effects of mood-altering chemicals (that we know of). Nor is Candance Owens, who has been making a lot of despicable comments as well.

Not cancelled. And they have yet to apologize. And no, "Just Asking Questions" is not an apology.

We probably need a DataRepublican "Hello," for those two to see who keeps boosting their platforms beyond that of some low-talent shock jocks.

Remember that the Democrats played "Let's **** the American People!!!" at the tail end of 2025 by forcing a government shutdown.

They ended up relenting when Trump took advantage of the situation to lay off federal workers due to the lack of funding. Workers that are the Dem's rank and file. They managed to get them hired back as a concession for reopening the spigots.

But the TSA? DHS? Departments that deal with safety and security? Those workers aren't Democrats that are feeling the pain, so the Democratic leaders are free to drop trow and "rain" on the little folks having issues making ends meet now.

Remember the grapevine game? Tell someone something which is verbally passed through multiple layers and see what comes out at the other end. It comes from the social media side of that.

It gets reported that Trump is mentioned in the Epstein Files. Well, as absolutely everyone knows, every single person mentioned in the Epstein Files is a pedo (even though all the arrests, AFAIK, have been for financial matters). So, Trump is a pedo. Then, because everyone who knows anything knows that Trump is a convicted rapist, and a pedo, it means that he raped a child (ignoring the fact that children cannot consent and, therefore, all sex with a child is rape.)

From there, it's a simple matter to continually lower the age of the victim. If they weren't leftists, they'd probably be saying it was an unborn baby by now. And they all believe every single word of it because they are incapable of setting aside their hate for long enough to ask, "Does this sound actually plausible?"

219 I dunno. How did we get from “unconditional surrender” to “we’re negotiating”?

One of these is not like the other. It looks like what under discussion is a modified JCPOA agreement. We called that a failure, and it was. Don’t understand how this conclusion is any better. That’s an honest question.

226 The Joe Kent psy-ops is the rehashed Valerie Plame psy-ops. But it won't work.

By the way, Eric Metaxas recently noted, with some amusement, that former friend Tucker Carlson has labeled him, completely out of the blue, "deeply troubled." Tucker has done this with a number of people he formerly had as guests, called friends, endorsed or even wrote blurbs for their books. He has done this for no apparent reason other than that they have not wildly deviated from their views and matched his own anti-Israel psychosis.

Cognitive Dissonance is the brain's way of convincing itself about motivations. The example I learned in college is that if you have a subject do a repetitive task in an experiment for free while another does the repetitive task for $20, at the end the subject who did it for free will say he did the task because he found some enjoyment while the subject who did it for $20 will say she only did it for the money.

-Of the 72 Air Canada Express passengers and 4 crew members, over a dozen are injured. Tragically, both pilots of the aircraft have passed away. At least 2 Port Authority firefighters sustained serious injuries.
-LaGuardia remains closed until 2pm while the NTSB investigates the accident site.

243 Attacks on infrastructure are a good threat but of questionable military value - a government that hates its own people will laugh when those people are made to suffer more.

Attacks on capabilities in the Straits need to continue, especially seizing the small islands in the straits; attacks on all offensive capabilities must continue; and attacks on government buildings, including local police stations and courthouses must continue.

Other targets are of questionable value at this point.

251 So SCOTUS is hearing a direct challenge to counting ballots after Election Day but "postmarked" on or before.

Recall, Bost v. Illinois, the 6-3 decision granted standing to challenge the post-election counting law.

While all the left is "of course it's legal to keep counting," none of them are discussing:
If it was legal to count ballots after Election Day, why did the court grant Bost standing to challenge the law?

Specifically, the majority rejected both the "won't affect the outcome" and the "must show significant monetary harm" rules courts had crafted to avoid ruling on the election laws (that favored their preferred candidates).

Strip those away and the argument is "what is Election Day?"
The RNC says it means counting only those ballots received by that day.
The DNC says it means counting all ballots received--or post-marked--by that day.

One Justice will ask the DNC, "what's to stop a state from accepting ballots up to a year later, and under Bost, forcing the candidate to incur that time and staffing expense until that ballot is counted?"

And that will be the 6-3 decision.

The UN definition of genocide (= Global Commie definition) includes more than trying to exterminate a specific group of people.

302 >>> then I see Trump's truth social message about negotiating with the islamic regime in Iran?

Trump doesn't want to bomb Iran and its power plants and its infrastructure into oblivion. He wants it to be easy for the Iranian people to take over and start fresh when the government falls. But he's also set up tough ultimatums to scare the regime into backing down. Negotiations may be the only way to thread that needle of not backing down from his threats, while not completely obliterating Iran.

I of course expect Iran to treat negotiations the way Palestine does...lie their butts off and backstab.

308 There is a cognitive bias called the Dunning–Kruger effect, which would be better called the Obama-Mamdani effect today. Dunning-Kruger describes a delusional mindset where “People with low knowledge or skill in an area tend to overestimate how competent they are.” In biblical terms, this kind of hubris is defined by Paul in Romans 12:3 as one “...think[ing] more highly of oneself than one ought.” That Scripture verse captures the essence of two popular, similar politicians who, despite having little knowledge or skill, have convinced many Americans of an expertise that simply doesn’t exist.

322 On the question of Britain’s Poor Laws and other forms of public welfare, Malthus’s concerns presaged those of Alexis de Tocqueville. He was convinced that government handouts to the poor would make their condition much worse and would, therefore, make them much more susceptible to the ravages of God’s positive checks. Welfare, Malthus argued, creates a cycle of dependency, depriving recipients of the desire to work (a virtue) and thereby trapping them permanently in the underclass. In short, he opposed the Poor Laws not out of cruelty but, ultimately, out of concern for the damage they could do to those they purported to help.
