The Morning Report — 4/ 15/26

Good morning kids. As if, I suppose, you needed any reminder, today is tax day. if only you were a violent jihadist, illegal alien or legal immigrant from Somalia scamming us out of billions, you'd have it made in the shade and living the American dream just like our Founders intended. Exceptionalism indeed.

Exceptionally tolerant beyond all logic in tolerating "a long train of abuses 2.0). God bless and keep Donald Trump and his loyal/competent advisers for doing what they can to try and turn back the tide of a swamp the size and depth of every ocean on the planet. In spite of some setbacks and disappointments over his two terms, at the barest of bare minimums, his greatest accomplishment has been exposing the forces of darkness and evil of the Democrat-Left and Deep state out to not just destroy I'm but all of us, as he had so eloquently and perfectly stated almost from the moment he stepped off the golden Trump Tower escalator nearly six years ago.

Referring to an impeachment reversal, Dershowitz admitted, “It's never been done. I don't see any reason why it couldn't be done. Impeachment is a quasi-judicial procedure, whether you have to go back to Congress and ask them to expunge it or go to the courts.”Referring to the new exposure of the key source for the accusations, who met with top Democrat Adam Schiff before filing his complaint, Dershowitz added, “But I have to tell you one thing, history will expunge it already based on your work, because what you've done is you've created so much doubt about the credibility of the main accuser that it's hard for anybody to sit back now and say that was a just, a just impeachment, but I don't know that there's going to be any remedy. Maybe we should try to create one.”

And from the exceptionally all-too tolerant American people, we go to the exceptionally stupid people of Spain:

Spain’s Socialist Workers’ Party has authorized plans to grant amnesty to 500,000 illegal migrants in the country, authorities said.
Pedro Sanchez, Spain’s prime minister and general secretary of the Socialist Workers’ Party, said in an April 14 statement shared on X that the Council of Ministers would approve a move to grant amnesty to migrants. . . The move will provide amnesty to 500,000 illegal migrants and allow them to be formally integrated into the Spanish workforce, according to the BBC. The government will offer migrants a one-year renewable residence permit. Migrants seeking amnesty must apply between April 16 and the end of June. They must also prove they have been living in Spain for five months and have no criminal record, the outlet reported.

PS: Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants thinks all those colored dudes look alike: At least Barack was "clean and articulate, that's a storybook, man!"

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.

AMERICA & ISRAEL STRIKE IRAN!

Tankers have already crossed the strait, including two Chinese-owned vessels: Rich Starry and Murlikishan, according to marinetraffic.com. The tankers weren’t violating the rules of the U.S. blockade because they did not come from an Iranian port, according to a statement made by U.S. Central Command on X, but the post didn’t say whether sanctioned ships would be stopped.
Are Chinese Ships Running Trump’s Hormuz Blockade?
The move came as Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron announced they will be co-hosting a Middle East summit in Paris on Friday to talk about a diplomatic solution to the Strait of Hormuz crisis.
Take That, Tehran! Leftist PM Keir Starmer Forms ‘Special’ Committee to Advise on Iran War
Meloni emphasized the importance of reopening the Strait of Hormuz for critical supplies, including fuel and fertilizers essential to Italy’s agricultural sector. Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani had earlier condemned Israeli attacks on UNIFIL troops, including Italians, and summoned Israel’s ambassador for an explanation. The suspension signals a shift in Italy’s relationship with Israel and comes after a decade of support for the country. It also reflects a broader European trend away from supporting Israel in the Middle East. Notably, Italy was also one of the European countries to obstruct the Trump administration from using air bases to conduct strikes on Iran, an operation coordinated alongside Israel.

So, it appears that they progressed and progressed and progressed on that program, until, now, we’ve got 900 pounds of highly-enriched uranium, a lot of which was happening during that period, that is the dust that President Trump is talking about right here.

Windward, a maritime intelligence firm, said that as of Monday, 171 crude tankers were bound to the U.S. gulf coast, which is more than 50 percent above the typical monthly average. These numbers can fluctuate, but directionally it is clear that we are witnessing a surge in demand for American oil. Now, why would that be? It’s obvious to anyone who is even mildly observant that President Trump’s oil blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is the reason, and it is providing a massive opportunity for American industry — and for global peace.

On Sunday after the hearing on December 10, 2023, the Harvard Corporation and the Harvard Board of Overseers were slated to meet to determine the fate of Claudine Gay’s presidency after her atrocious testimony at our congressional hearing. The intensely secretive and opaque Harvard Corporation is chock-full of senior Obama administration officials. It was later reported by the New York Post that President Obama called the Harvard Corporation Board before their meeting to directly lobby and pressure them to keep Claudine Gay as president, to “keep the broader[Harvard] administration stable—including its composition.” Many of that “administration” were either former high-ranking Obama officials, including members of his cabinet, or prominent supporters and donors of President Obama. I was told directly from a Harvard Corporation board member that Obama shared that he felt it was important “not to give her [me] a win.” Again, no concern about Jewish students or the importance of combatting antisemitism, but the typical partisan demagoguery against an effective elected Republican standing up on a moral issue.

“If the time comes, I don’t think there would be any justification for the United States to launch a military aggression against Cuba, or for the U.S. to undertake a surgical operation or the kidnapping of a president,” Díaz-Canel told Welker through a translator, and claimed, “an invasion to Cuba would have costs. It would affect the security of Cuba, the United States, and of the region.” “If that happens, there will be fighting, and there will be a struggle, and we will defend ourselves, and if we need to die, we’ll die, because as our national anthem says, ‘Dying for the homeland is to live,’” he added.

many of these migrants are from Latin America - and that is why Spain (and to an extent Italy) buck the European trend of mass immigration costing more than it generates in most of Europe. Latin American immigration into Southern Europe is relatively successful.

They're Spanish descendants going back to Spain. I don't know why it doesn't appease the "go back to where you came from" crowd?

The government's plan will offer a one-year, renewable residence permit to undocumented migrants. In order to be eligible, applicants must prove that they have already spent five months living in Spain and have a clean criminal record.

For everyone who doesn't want to read. Which part of this is objectionable?

It may be a clever way to get them to all register, so they can be tracked and deported later?

Those are like 2-3% of all Catholics...maybe 5% if you include ones who go 1-2 times/week...

That said, Catholics who are devout are still in Trump's corner...but not all of us are happy about this week. An apology (vs I thought I was a doctor - don't double down on unbelievable stupid) for the picture would have been and would still be nice...but it's not Trump's way.

33 The all but certain political move by the commonwealth’s leftist governor was announced Tuesday, when Spanberger revealed that she had sent the bills in question back to the Democrat-run General Assembly with amendments she claimed “strengthen commonsense gun safety laws.” Monday night was the deadline by which Spanberger had to decide whether to request such amendments, sign or veto legislation, or allow bills to become law without her signature.

It was kind of a ridiculous move. She took the assault firearms bill which set a limit of 15 rounds on detachable magazines and defined assault firearms by a set of features, and merged the concepts together - if the magazine has more than 15 rounds, its an assault firearm.

Which is legally more of a mess than what it was. A Ruger Mini-14 which almost is never considered when the gun grabbers go after guns, becomes an assault firearm with a 20 round mag. Replace it with a 10 round mag, suddenly its legal!

I believe that this is performative gaslighting by Virginia's sweetheart governor. I think it is lib version of failure theater. I hope.

I was in the UK in 2003 or so - Tony Blair times. I was listening to the radio and they had a debate in the Parliament I think about the pros and cons of immigration.

I was impressed at how reasonable the discussion was. And that there were people who could actually say that immigration was bad for the economy, and bad for Britons. Not like in the US where racist was casually thrown around to shut down debate.

The move will provide amnesty to 500,000 illegal migrants and allow them to be formally integrated into the Spanish workforce, according to the BBC. The government will offer migrants a one-year renewable residence permit. Migrants seeking amnesty must apply between April 16 and the end of June. They must also prove they have been living in Spain for five months and have no criminal record, the outlet reported.

Meh, I don't think so. I think it's part and parcel of the same movement that Tucker and the rest of the podcast class are doing.

The Swalwell thing, while satisfying, is a pretty local event that most won't care about for more than a moment. Trying to drive a wedge between Trump and his supporters is a much bigger effort.

Does nobody find it odd that Obama righthand man David Axelrod, a liberal Jew who has never met with the Pope before, had a meeting with the Pope and then days later a coordinated attack by the Pope and cardinals against Trump over the war in Iran? Then the Pope goes to Algeria to flirt with Muslims leaders instead of commenting on the Nigerian slaugheter of Christians or supporting Israel?

Obama/Biden wanted to make Iran the regioinal power in the middle east and empower China. Trump is destroying that plan and the far left of which this Pope is a part hate it.

Iran murders tens of thousands of its own people and the Pope says dick. Trump takes out Iran's leadership and the Pope criticizes Trump.

One of the key elements of a Color Revolution is control of the media and the narrative. That's why the left worked so hard to censor us through the media and social media. They created the narrative that Trump was colluding with Russia and any evidence to the contrary was buried and often so were the people who tried to report it.

Some of the smarter people on X like Fool Nelson and other researchers had 90% of the plot figured out in real time and guys like Sean Davis used much of their information in their reporting. They were a fart in a wind storm.

To this day a very large part of the left still believes Trump colluded with Russia because it was ground into them and no amout of evidence to the contrary will convince them. Musk pretty much saved the country by saving free speech.

Taught by a godless commie former SDS member.

I actually learned something. He talked about how words used in articles can influence the story. He went on about how the government was always "the authorities" and protesters were "protesters" and "dissidents", etc., putting the gubmint in a better light than those opposed.

He also claimed that you will get the actual truth by reading the business papers, since those running the country were the corporations.

He was a radical, big time. He was still involved in trying to beat up Nazis in Chicago, under cover of playing softball, then using the bats to attack them. And this was the late 90s.

I got an A. It was super easy, barely an inconvenience.

Not only that, somewhere along the way a great mass of people stopped thinking at all. Has something to do with Epistemology, or the “how do we know what we know”; if that makes sense.

We can’t know a lot about everything, maybe a lot about a narrow field of study, but regardless of our level of intelligence or aptitude we as individuals need a certain skillset to gauge the veracity of the information given us. This can be developed to a high degree, even without a formal education.

A bullshit detector, if you will. Seems like a lot of people accept uncritically anything that comes from on high. The public schools stopped teaching people to think for themselves. I’ve even noticed people get really pissed off at times if you even suggest it, which is sort of comical. It isn’t that difficult, but intellectually it’s a “Here there be Dragons” kind of thing. It frightens them. They might have to re-examine deeply held beliefs. Can’t have that.

194 >>Does nobody find it odd that Obama righthand man David Axelrod, a liberal Jew who has never met with the Pope before, had a meeting with the Pope and then days later a coordinated attack by the Pope and cardinals against Trump over the war in Iran? Then the Pope goes to Algeria to flirt with Muslims leaders instead of commenting on the Nigerian slaugheter of Christians or supporting Israel?

Iran murders tens of thousands of its own people and the Pope says dick. Trump takes out Iran's leadership and the Pope criticizes Trump.

Obama has been engaging in a shadow presidency since Trump was elected the first time. He regularly meets w/world leaders just before or after Trump does. Has always gotten little news coverage. Not surprised the Axelerod, and Obama proxy, met w/the pope immediately before he was to meet w/Trump's team.

As a non-Catholic, it appears that the church's biggest business (revenue stream) has been third world refugee resettlement. Trump is messing with this bigly. A wild a$$ guess would be Obama promises to restore the USAID funding, etc.?

229 Keep your perspective. The main op underway here is to create chaos among Catholic and Christian voters. The primary aim of Democrats is to keep them from voting and separate them from MAGA. The real evil objective is to separate them from Jesus Christ.

The pope is a man. Period. He has obvious flaws and biases. The problem is not that they apply the gospels to current events. It is that he has applied them seemingly selectively and with a political purpose. Politics should be outside the church mission, and if it was one would see a more evenly distributed set of like criticisms. Unfortunately we do not see that, and the popes obvious biases prior to his ascension doesn’t help.

Speaking of tea and toast, when I was a child I wondered why that was all Grandmother Poppins wanted for her breakfast. Now that I'm old, I realize I don't have the appetite for a big breakfast with all the trimmings myself.

It's a variant of the old Mark Twain comment (paraphrased): "When I was seventeen, I thought my father was one of the stupidest men alive. When I turned twenty-one, it was amazing how much the old man had learned in four years."

She backed into a pickup in a parking lot. Left the scene, but someone wrote her plate number down. She swears she waited for someone to come out and didn't leave a note because it was raining heavily.

Got hit by a piece of retread which broke the radiator (she didn't know) and eventually totaled that vehicle.

Next car, drove too fast into a parking lot entrance, wet pavement, and slid into another car.

Hit 2 cars and got a DWI last Friday.

It seems I failed in teaching her how to drive and that a vehicle is a 5000 lb missile that you must RESPECT.

296 The CIA had to cover up their involvement.

Remember, in 1963 nobody outside the agency knew they were wacking people and overthrowing governments all over. Guatemala, Iran, the Congo, and Castro was on the List. Both the FBI and the CIA were watching Oswald closely. They had to destroy a lot of paperwork.

The Soviets weren’t suicidal, they would gain nothing getting rid of Kennedy. The Cubans were psycho, and didn’t care. But if it got out, it could still result in World War III. The Cuban missile crisis was barely a year earlier and had come within a red nether hair of total nuclear war.

The rightly-reviled commuter railroad is looking to charge $100 a ticket for travel from New York’s Penn Station to MetLife Stadium for each of the eight matches in the Garden State, a fare that’s normally just $12.90.

The "will" of one who is dead in sin and at enmity with God will never choose God.
It is the work of God, through God the Holy Spirit, that opens the ears and eyes of one who is lost, and replaces their heart of stone with a heart of flesh.
Struggling with a doctrine? Look to the easiest passages to understand that address that doctrine.

When writing to the church (believers) at Ephesus, see Ephesians 4:6.
See also we are saved by grace, through faith, which is a gift. Not of works, lest any man should boast.

The deadliest terrorist bombing in Spanish history occurred on March 11, 2004, when al-Qaeda-linked terrorists detonated 10 bombs on four commuter trains in Madrid, killing 193 people and injuring ~2,000.

The attack is one of two that occurred just before a general election and caused major political shifts.

The patient was obese, but the surgeon started the operation as a laparoscopic procedure, then converted to open procedure. The poor patient never should have been operated on, it appears the surgeon was misdiagnosing him either due to negligence or greed.

417 Just as a matter of historical record, President Andrew Jackson was censured by the House, but later in his presidency, the House voted to expunge the censure. That created a great deal of controversy at the time, on the grounds that one cannot expunge an historical fact, and the censure was something that actually happened.

For that reason, I don't think that Dershowitz's proposal works. Frankly, what needs to happen is for the facts of the case to be publicized, to make the impeachment a mark of shame for the impeachers rather than the impeached.
