The Morning Report — 4/ 29/26

Good morning kids, Here we are after a third Democrat/Leftist assassination attempt on President Trump which comes close on the heels of low-rent astroturfed Nuremberg Rallies known as "No Kings". and yet where were these anti-imperialists yesterday when the inbred Saxe-Coburg spawn KING (formerly known as Prince) Charles spoke before Congress?

“As President Trump observed during his state visit to Britain last autumn, ‘the bond of kinship and identity between America is priceless and eternal, it is irreplacable and unbreakable,” he added to a standing ovation from the Congress.
“The alliance that our two nations have built over the centuries, and for which we are profoundly grateful to the American people, is truly unique, and that alliance is what Henry Kissinger described as Kennedy’s ‘soaring vision’ of an Atlantic relationship based on twin pillars, Europe and America. That partnership, I believe, Mr Speaker, is more important today than it has ever been.”

Blah blah blah blah blah... Britain is gone. It has been all but subsumed into a Zombie hellscape of a Socialist/Islamic republic, with much of Europe well on its way to suffering that same fate even within my shrinking day-by-day lifespan (and I hope I'm dead and gone before it happens).
And NATO should've been dismantled years ago. It serves zero purpose but to prop up failed Western European welfare states...

When Westminster Abbey becomes the next Hagia Sophia, then tell me about that "eternal alliance" as your head gets lopped off with a rusty meat cleaver on Al JazBBC-zira.

President Donald Trump’s declaration that, for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, “the party is over” was treated like a barbarian shout in the salon. Yet his statement has the impolite virtue of being true. For 75 years, Europe has hosted the most expensive open bar in history, all of it paid for by the United States, and called this dependency an “alliance.” Now, when the bill is presented and the host suggests perhaps the guests might behave as if they own something besides opinions, they are scandalized.
Nothing has exposed this charade more clearly than the recent confrontation with Iran. The most revealing actor was NATO Europe, which, at the precise moment when it had the strongest interest in American protection, chose instead to lecture, obstruct, and deny access to bases that exist only thanks to American power and American money.

No Kings indeed!!! If NATO can miraculously embrace a new mission of "No Emirs, Imams, Sultans along with Socialist Apparatchiks and Chi-Com Mandarins," I might reconsider my attitude provided they, EUROPE, foot at least 60% of the bill, permanently.

On a more positive note, whatever one thinks of our conflict with Iran, and how it will ultimately play out, President Donald Trump's actions caused this happened and will no doubt have positive reverberations economically and geopolitically for years to come.

OPEC’s stranglehold on the global economy is finally coming apart at the seams — thanks in large part to President Donald Trump’s efforts at home and abroad — and the result will be freer markets, long-term lower energy price and less debt slavery for developing nations. On Tuesday, the United Arab Emirates, long frustrated with OPEC’s limits on its oil production, declared its intent to leave the consortium within days to be free to meet consumer demand for energy on its own terms.

Meanwhile here at home in the wake of the latest leftist Democrat attempt to overthrow the American Republic by assassinating our President and his cabinet, it certainly seems as if the tone of the response by actual conservative pundits has taken a very distinct turn. Here are but two.

The American Left Is In Thrall To Political Violence. It Has To Be Destroyed. . . Left-wing political violence won’t end unless it’s actively stopped. We are not going to argue our way to peace.

Very True John Daniel Davidson of the Federalist. He doesn't mince words. Am I correct in reading that as a call for a violent response to their violence and/or a preemptive move to take them down with extreme prejudice?

And this from FrontPage Mag's Josh Hammer

Leftist Political Violence is an Existential Threat to the Republic

While he's not as overt perhaps nor directly calling for a violent response/preemption as Mr. Davidson does, nevertheless makes the very same point. Declaring the Left an "Existential threat" is not an allegory. So boys as I have asked numerous times in the past, what is to be done?

I too am at the end of my rope, and one day either us or them will be on the wrong end of an actual, not rhetorical rope!

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.

Glenn Reynolds: Republicans may soon need to write a thank-you note to Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy. By convincing American business that a Democrat-controlled government is an existential threat, Murphy could be the guy who wins the midterms for the GOP.But Murphy’s problem isn’t really that these industries are too concentrated — it’s that he and his party don’t entirely control them. . . Well, I may not be a billionaire, but when somebody says he plans to destroy me if he wins back power, I’m going to do my best to make sure he never gets the chance. Let’s see if the actual billionaires are equally smart.

The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA) reported the government grants in its latest tax filing covering July 2024 through June 2025, the month that Los Angeles, California, was set ablaze by anti-deportation rioters. The chaos kicked off in June 2025 after CHIRLA created an anti-ICE network that led to a union leader’s arrest and encouraged supporters to arrive at a federal building for a rally that turned violent, the Daily Caller News Foundation previously reported. CHIRLA defended the mob as rioting against deportations spread across central California for days and caused damages somewhere between $32 million and $1 billion. . .

I would like to know what the Saudi’s think, since they have always been the nominal leader of OPEC. But the UAE rulers have always been close to the Saudi’s, so I wonder if they gave tacit approval to the move.

It’s worth noting that the most militant troublemakers inside OPEC in the past were always Libya, Venezuela, and Iran. Oh, where are they now?

131 A YouGov poll last year found a whopping 42 percent of self-described liberals believe political violence is sometimes justifiable (only 9 percent of conservatives said the same). An April 2025 Rutgers University study on political violence found that 56 percent of self-identifying left-wing respondents justified murdering Trump, while 50 percent said the same of Elon Musk.

56 Trump
50 Musk
The numbers are the same for Cruz, Rubio, Vance.

134 FYI -
United Arab Emirates (UAE) has a major oil port outside the Strait of Hormuz. Fujairah, or Al Fujayrah. All other current UAE oil ports are inside the Strait. I am guessing UAE is now working to construct bigger pipelines to Fujairah, across or through the mountains that run down the center of the triangular piece of land south of the Strait. Also guessing UAE will be constructing pipelines west to the Red Sea, across Saudi Arabia.

Three of the Persian Gulf Arab oil states, all large exporters, do not have ports outside the Strait: Kuwait, Bahrain, and Qatar. They say they are planning to construct pipelines west to the Red Sea and/or northwest to the Mediterranean.

If only they had already done this!!!

155 To be sure, it certainly is that: Those with Ph.D.s are roughly twice as likely as those without them to support political violence.

CPW releases scant info on four wolf attacks on livestock or working dogs since the start oof the year. One cow, one dog, one calf in three separate attacks, and in the fourth attack eleven sheep. CPW withholds whether they were killed or merely maimed. Merely.

These violent maiming or killing attacks are euphemistically called "depredation events" by CPW. Sounds like something you would mark on your calendar.

Oddly, none of the four ranchers have filed for reimbursement with the state's compensation program. Makes me wonder if the process is intentionally overcomplicated.

I was nowhere near Kansas City, thankfully.

215 >>Then why is she gone?

Turnover of cabinet members is not unusual and certainly not with Trump. He often uses them like a baseball manager, right person for a specific task. People hacked on Bongino when he left but it was understood from day 1 he was only going to be there for a short time to help right the ship. Kash has confirmed it multiple times.

The DOJ had become the most corrupt institution in the government. It was filled from top to bottom with deep state actors. Why anyone is surprised the same DOJ that spent years conspiring against Trump, arresting people for parading on J6, sent armed agents to arrest people for praying outside abortion clinics and spied on Catholics for the crime of being Catholic didn't pivot in the blink of an eye to go after the people that hired them to do all of that is a mystery to me.

Job one at the DOJ was gutting as much of the corruption as possible and replacing it with honest law enforcement. That was Bondi's primary mission. Now comes the enforcement phase. Maybe this isn't Bondi's strength or maybe she just got tired of living on a military base with threats on her life.

Trump still speaks highly of her.

The federal government can, when it wishes, operate with blinding speed and efficiency. Was Bondi trying? Apparently someone in charge didn't think so.

I recall one of the ranchers getting into heated words with Gov. Polis' husband on facebook a while back.

Polis' husband is an animal rights activist, and one would not be out of line to suspect that the point of this program is to destroy the cattle ranchers, not liberate some wolves. Support for this program in Colorado is way down.

Probably because too many people who weren't attached to the Administration couldn't accept that things were happening that they weren't being told about and so she had become a distraction.

288 Video footage from the incident showed Naji entering the City of Dearborn Police Headquarters on Dec. 18, 2022, wearing a hat and a surgical mask. Naji immediately pulled out a handgun from his waistband, aimed it at the front desk officer, and pulled the trigger.

The gun jammed, and Naji attempted to fix it by reloading the magazine and pulling back the slide to rechamber another round, according to the footage. During these few seconds, the desk officer, Corporal Timothy Clive, pulled out his weapon and shot Naji, killing him.

Then he said if legislators are concerned about fraud, they need to vote for anti-fraud bills working their way through he legislature. Yeah, suuuure. As long as Democrats are the state and blue county prosecutors, and reviewers of applications for social services money, no one will look for Somali fraud no matter how many anti-fraud bills are enacted.

A judge ruled earlier that Zimmerman’s attorneys could not question Crump before the trial. The defense wants to ask Crump, under oath, more about witness number eight, the young woman believed to be Trayvon’s girlfriend. Zimmerman’s defense team appealed the judge’s ruling.

Now, in a new 41 page legal response, Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi is asking the appeals court to agree with the judge’s decision, and to not allow the defense to question Crump in a deposition.

>Times of the World, Karoline Leavitt LIVE | 'THIS IS DISGUSTING', Karoline Leavitt goes OFF on Kimmel’s Remark| US News(live)
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt addressed the media in a high-stakes briefing following a failed assassination attempt on President Donald Trump. As the sitting President recovers, federal investigators and the Secret Service are probing the major security breach that occurred during a public appearance. Leavitt provided updates on the President's condition, confirming his safety while detailing the administration's immediate response to the life-threatening incident. The briefing covered national security protocols, the pursuit of the perpetrator, and the global reaction as world leaders condemn the attack on the American head of state.

April 29, 2026

Bits and pieces -
"They have to go through a vetting process which involves biometrics, background check, running them against all the government's databases," says Ahilan Arulanantham, who represents the Syrians in Wednesday's case. "Two misdemeanors*, you're out."

(Context: *Criminal offenses less serious than felonies that might get fines, probation, a tad of jail. Common examples include: Simple assault (minor physical altercation), petty theft/shoplifting (stealing low-value items), disorderly conduct, trespassing, first time DUIs, yada, yada.)

The Haitians do have one claim that does not fall under the umbrella of immigration. They contend that the Trump administration has discriminated against them based on their race. And they cite in particular some of Trump's more inflammatory language, for instance, claiming falsely in a presidential debate in September 2024 that Haitians in Springfield, Ohio, "are eating the dogs. The people that came in, they're eating the cats. They're eating the pets of the people that live there."

Most conservative just refuse to grasp how corrupt.
They think it's still mostly Hamilton Burger types; the quaint delusion of "sure they're liberals but the kind that still is fair."

Obama's "fundamental transformation" started with the DOJ.
Removing any who were not radical leftists and stuffing the whole department with far-left DEI hires. The more unqualified, the better.
And he had the whole of government and media as a tailwind.
Remember those six that resigned because they wanted the ICE agent prosecuted for defending his life against Renea Good?
Every DOJ office in every city is full of those type.
