The Morning Report --4/ 14 /26

Good morning kids. Hopefully the sudden bizarre formatting bugs over the past couple of days have been ironed out and when this posts you should be free of the black diamonds or other distracting crap and see normal text, so thanks for bearing with it.

With that out of the way, let's dive right in. On the latest episode of the podcast linked here
as well as in the sidebar and on the popular platforms noted at the bottom of the post, CBD a nd I took the logical approach in predicting that degenerate sex-pest and dupe/williing confederate of Chi-Com spy Fang Fang Eric Swalwell's departure from the California gubernatorial race would not necessarily affect his political career. Democrat scum criminals (pardon the redundancy) rarely if ever suffer any repercussions from their crimes. And so it comes as kind of a shock that not only has he withdrawn from the race for Sacramento but has actually resigned his House seat.

“I am deeply sorry to my family, staff, and constituents for mistakes in judgment I’ve made in my past. I will fight the serious, false allegation made against me. However, I must take responsibility and ownership for the mistakes I did make,” he said.
“I am aware of efforts to bring an immediate expulsion vote against me and other members. Expelling anyone in Congress without due process, within days of an allegation being made, is wrong. But it’s also wrong for my constituents to have me distracted from my duties,” Swalwell added. “Therefore, I plan to resign my seat in Congress. I will work with my staff in the coming days to ensure they are able, in my absence, to serve the needs of the good people of the 14th congressional district.” Swalwell dropped out of the California governor’s race on Sunday night, after losing nearly all of his endorsements.

Absolutely galling if not completely unsurprising is his hollow remonstration that these are "false allegations" even as he calls it quits in not only the governor's race but in ankling from Congress itself! Well, hell, if he's innocent then why head for the emergency exit?!

Despite the fact that he's not only a Democrat but a California Democrat, which in theory should've made him utterly invulnerable; there have been musings over the past few weeks that California may not be so ironclad Democrat, and with their electoral system a hot mess there is even a chance, slim though it may be, that a Republican could win the statehouse or even swipe one or more House seats come November? So maybe there is something that the party bosses fear could be extremely damaging to the Democrats both as the race for the midterms heats up and perhaps longer term and, more crucially for the Leftist movement in general over the longer haul?

UPDATE: Swalwell has not actually resigned but only announced his intention to resign. And that day might be tomorrow or the 12th of Never-JJS

And elsewhere, although this is not news it nonetheless is absolutely bone-chilling and indicative of the mindset of the Democrat Party and Leftist movement.

The Department of Justice under former [s0-called quote-unquote[President Joe Biden “withheld evidence” and approved “aggressive arrest tactics” when targeting pro-life defendants — and then slapped them with longer prison sentences than pro-abortion ones, according to an explosive internal review released Tuesday. The DOJ revealed the stunning abuses in a nearly 900-page report after examining more than 700,000 records related to the Biden administration&'s prosecutions under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act.
The 1994 law was passed to protect access to houses of worship, religious institutions, abortion clinics and pregnancy resource centers.
But the Biden DOJ was found to have engaged multiple times in “biased enforcement” of it — while also collaborating with and even seeking to fund pro-abortion groups, according to the DOJ Office of Legal Policy report.
Emails show the task force, led by civil division trial attorney Sanjay Patel, worked closely with Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Feminist Majority Foundation and the National Abortion Federation (NAF) Security Team to initiate investigations and “monitor” pro-life activists — sometimes for years — before requesting arrest warrants and filing charges.
In a Nov. 17, 2021, email, before the task force was launched, Patel had already praised NAF’s security director, Michelle Davidson, to colleagues as an “MVP” at “bringing incidents to my attention, often in real-time, which usually result in an investigation/prosecution.”
The task force director was not nearly as chummy with defense counsel for one of the first pro-lifers indicted for illegally blocking access to an abortion clinic after the Dobbs decision, writing in a Feb. 22, 2023, email that he didn’t “keep the kind of records” the lawyer requested about the total number of “prosecutions for vandalisms of pregnancy centers. . .
. . . The task force director claimed the “main reason” for the public show of force was “in hope of seizing phones” pursuant to search warrants, an Oct. 4, 2022, email disclosed.
“I think the unspoken reason is bc the FBI really likes to make arrests,” Patel added.
The Biden DOJ also liked to seek higher prison sentences against pro-lifers charged with non-violent FACE Act violations.
On average, its prosecutors sought 26.8 months in prison for pro-life defendants, compared with 12.3 months averaged for pro-abortion ones.” . . . Judges also sentenced those pro-lifers at higher rates, 14 months to 3 months.
President Trump, on his third day in office, signed pardons for 23 pro-lifers convicted of FACE Act violations under the prior administration, many of whom he said were “elderly” and should not have been prosecuted.
Houck was acquitted by a federal jury in January 2023 and later reached a settlement with the Biden DOJ
“This Department will not tolerate a two-tiered system of justice,” Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a statement Tuesday. “No Department should conduct selective prosecution based on beliefs.”

This is as horrible and in some profound ways perhaps worse than assassins' bullets and molotov cocktails. Continuing in that vein the estimable Margot Cleveland who has covered this beat since the beginning.

These new revelations should wake Americans up to how the deep state and a complicit media sought to thwart their electoral will. . .
. . .The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence ('HPSCI')released two transcripts Monday morning from the 2019 closed-door interviews of the then-Inspector General of the Intelligence Community, Michael Atkinson. The just-released transcripts reveal new details behind the scheming that led to the first impeachment of Donald Trump.. .
... In addition to all the backdoor scheming between the “whistleblower,” Vindman, Democrats on HPSCI, and, through at best, his willful ignorance, Atkinson, the transcripts released Monday also highlight the politicization of the FBI that continued under Trump 1.0 after Director James Comey’s firing.

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.

Despite what gun control advocates would have you believe, the right to keep and bear arms plays a vital role in public safety. Americans use their firearms to defend themselves and others far more often than many people realize. Even the notoriously anti-gun Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has acknowledged that most studies on the issue find that between 500,000 and several million defensive gun uses occur every year in the United States. An extensive 2021 national survey conducted by a Georgetown professor further substantiated this reality, concluding that Americans used their firearms defensively an average of 1.2 million times a year.

Robert Spencer : Zohran Mamdani is not a head of state. He can’t go all-in on his socialist inclinations. But he is anxious to show, during his tenure as mayor of the nation’s largest city, that socialism works, and that means he has been busy from his first moments in office implementing as much of it as he possibly can. That includes the cult of personality. And so the New York Post reported Sunday that Mamdani is doing all he can to set himself up as a larger-than-life socialist hero. He even “threw himself a great big bash to celebrate his first 100 days in office, and even launched a website so his faithful comrades can track his ‘achievements’ across the city — despite reneging on numerous campaign promises.”

Globalists are hailing Orbán’s defeat as a signal that the “populist tide has turned,” but Péter Magyar was a member of Orbán’s party until 2024, and ran to the right of Fidesz on immigration and natalist policies, signaling that Orbán has shifted the Overton window on policy. Magyar is praised abroad mainly for his pro-European Union, pro-Ukraine stance, while Orbán has frequently been at odds with the EU and Ukraine, particularly over illegal immigration and the need to secure Hungary’s supply of Russian pipeline oil. Despite Magyar’s anti-Russian stance, there is widespread acknowledgment that some pragmatic energy cooperation with Russia must continue.

41 The first question: “Compared to last year, do you feel your federal taxes are …”, followed by six possible responses: “Much higher,” “Somewhat higher,” “About the same,” “Somewhat lower,” “Much lower,” and “Not sure.”

While not a majority, 40% of those responding said their taxes were either “much higher” (17%) or “somewhat higher” (23%). That compares with 10% who said their taxes were either “somewhat lower” (7%) or “much lower” (3%).

I'm gonna go out on a limb and speculate that the 40% number is based on either people in blue states which have raised the minimum wage or people who think everything is worse because Trump. I speculate thusly because the tax rate brackets remain the same but the levels in which they start has been adjusted for inflation.

45 A Balanced Budget Amendment ought to embody enduring principles for fiscal continence. Instructions on what spending to cut and by how much, or what automatic enforcement mechanisms to adopt, do not belong in constitutional law. The text should be the opposite of a procedural manual, it should be broad and concise, providing standards to which Congress must adhere while not micromanaging implementation.

This is a prescription for having judges control budgeting.

Even more troublingly, other researchers say, the fake papers were then cited in peer-reviewed literature. Osmanovic Thunström says this suggests that some researchers are relying on AI-generated references without reading the underlying papers.

The preprints included a reference to the nonexistent Asteria Horizon University in “Nova City, California”. There was also a mention of “Starfleet Academy” (though an additional reference to Dr. Leonard McCoy would have been a nice touch).

so parishes are all sweating bk BUT they spend all their energies on "new arrivals" who NEVER PAY FOR ANYTHING. they only cost. at St Agnes most of the congregation is from Latin America, and great whatever, they do not donate at Mass. They go to the school for almost-free and the parish has free daycare for them and a whole building for them to go to get basically anything they need, paid by the parish.

101 There is nothing wrong with preaching peace. It’s a core part of the gospels.

What outrages Catholics is the preaching is selective and targeted at people who are conservative.

The Catholic Church sat silently as our ability to worship was stripped from us by Democrat Party authoritarians. They have never publicly gone after Democrats for their positions on abortion, euthanasia, homosexuality, propagandizing of children, attacks on the traditional family and many other things that not just sinful, but apostasies to the catholic faith. Sure we have gotten some detached reminders of what the teachings of Christ say about it. But never the full frontal attacks they make on people like Trump or the broad brush attacks just made by the bishops.

People were just starting to come back to the church. I can’t think of a faster way to reverse that than taking up the Democrat Party standard and running with it.

And the oddest part of this is that representative government should make this impossible because in theory even the leftwing FSA types are voting for THEIR OWN personal benefit, not to give the country's wealth to foreigners.

But we are seeing a combination of a mandarin class getting rich off the aid we give to foreigners/illegals/immigrants and massive vote fraud.

The reason that Dems are getting re-elected in districts full of FSA Franks is that FSA Frank stopped voting long ago...but the ballots still come in under his name.

I've got multiple income sources that make my return JUST complicated enough that it's hard to get it done on time (mainly because I am a lazy fuck who hates dealing with this shit), yet not complicated enough that I can justify hiring an accountant. So I usually put it off, and put it off, and put it off, until I'm filing an extension. At least I got it done on April 13 this year, rather than midnight on April 15.

Although as seen above, if you have absolutely no money to pay, how can you send any in? This is for those who file an extension because they can't pay. For those with complicated and updated filings, I can understand why they do it. A thousand for a CPA? HR Block doesn't charge that much for a regular return. If it's high income, CPA is probably the way to go.

These are only probable reasons, as I don't do any of them. Never filed for extensions, and only have one income per person in the house. I don't have any experience with the more complicated filings.

201 I think the rule is, if you file for an extension, you have to pay 90% of what you paid the previous year.
Posted by: Bulg at April 14, 2026 08:43 AM (77rzZ)

Sort of, but not quite. During the tax year itself (Jan 1 2025 - Dec 31 2025 with the final Estimated Tax Payment due by Jan 15 2026) if your tax withholding and estimated tax payments are 90+% of the Total Tax for that tax year, then you've met the "Safe Harbor Rule". You will not get an Estimated Tax Penalty for having too little paid in timely during the tax year.

Making a big catch-up payment with the extension is too late to avoid the Estimated Tax Penalty.

Safe Harbor Rule options:
1. Pay in 100% of the prior year's tax (match or beat 2024's Total Tax in 2025)
2. Pay in 90% of the current year's tax
3. For high income taxpayers, the option 1. percentage becomes 110% (AGI $75K+ for Single filers and $150K+ for MFJ filers)

The California attorney filing the sexual assault case against has depositions (sworn statements) from several victims of his, including former staffers of his. There have been no court cases yet because until now, Swallwell was powerful enough to block any charges from being filed against by anyone. She pushed hard to finally get a civil case into the Courts, and that’s what has broken the dam and allowed this to come tumbling out.

When you look at Swallell’s friendship and activities with Ed Buck, there’s also a good chance that Swallwell is at least an accessory to the murders of two homeless men for sexual reasons.

Swallwell should be doing 30 years in a federal penitentiary. Anything less than that and he gets off easy.

I'm speaking as someone who never got the "vax".

Do not repeat the nonsense in that article. It's a self report database and it seems to be comparing reports of a few week rollout of the vaccine in 2020 (66 cases) to a full year and calling it a "massive" increase. Somehow it makes it seem like there were only 66 miscarriages in 2020 and then 5000 in 2021 which is retarded.

The fetal mortality rate was 7.49 per 1,000 in 1990, 5.70 in 2019, 5.74 in 2020, 5.73 in 2021, and then 5.48 in 2022.

272 As much fun as it is to watch Swalwell twist in the breeze I'm even more interested to see where the Ciamarella stuff goes. There's a reason people were threatened against mentioning his name while he was a so called whistleblower whose testimony led to Trump's impeachment.

He's hip deep in the Ukraine corruption and a long time Biden ally.

273 The Pope was not proscribed from getting into secular affairs until the Papal States were dissolved during the unification of Italy in 1861 and later in 1870 was the Pope's temporal powers fully curbed.

276 >>The Biden DOJ also liked to seek higher prison sentences against pro-lifers charged with non-violent FACE Act violations.

On average, its prosecutors sought 26.8 months in prison for pro-life defendants, compared with 12.3 months averaged for pro-abortion ones.” . . . Judges also sentenced those pro-lifers at higher rates, 14 months to 3 months.

Despicable!

Like all of the left, all they claim as "good" are more an evil inverse of actual good.

Kindness is enforced by the most vile and vicious attacks.
Charity is stealing from the industrious and giving it to the idle.
Happiness is drug induced and selfishness.

All these deceptions, which even many who call themselves faithful, fall away to because the words are the words of good, and intent or outcome is never examined.
