The Morning Report — 7/ 27 /26
In a case of queer overreach so extreme that even the far-left Denver Public Schools board was forced to act, a lesbian-identifying Colorado teacher was fired this spring after repeatedly pressuring students to kiss same-sex classmates during supposedly instructional classroom skits. Teacher Jennifer Honka was employed for the past eight years to teach French Language and Culture at Northeast Early College (NEC), a high school which is part of the Denver Public Schools district.Then certainly this story surely is a warning that we are not only on the road to Hell but in the express lane.
Our First Amendment free speech rights aren't there to protect speech we all agree with, it's to protect the speech we don't. A classic, liberal free speech position is that you respect the right to free speech, especially when that speech reflects views you despise. That's what the principle means, it means upholding the right to free speech for your opponents, not just for those with views you are allied with. . . But a new case in Minnesota appears to have violated the free speech rights of a mom who said a bad word. There are no hate speech laws in the United States. Saying mean words is absolutely not a criminal offense. Other nations have hate speech laws, but they have absolutely no place in these United States. This Minnesota court has come up with a workaround. And the jury deliberated for over nine hours. In his closing arguments, her attorney Brian Karalus said, "The state of Minnesota has decided to prosecute Ms. Hendrix for language," and that's exactly what happened. We can all oppose calling people the n-word, but that doesn't make the speech a crime.Wait, courts, judges, prosecutors and worst of all jurors literally inventing laws out of whole cloth and using them to convict an innocent person?! Meh, this is who and what leftists are and no doubt if God-forbid they do gain absolute control of this nation, we are well and truly screwed.
On this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday,” Democratic Socialists of America co-chair Megan Romer defended their proposals to abolish Senate, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and prisons.If you think this is merely hyperbole, think again. I take these evil fiends at their word. To ignore, dismiss or laugh at them is a grave error. Or a MASS grave error because that is what they have in mind for us. Have a good day,

Of course (no surprise), she’s quite ugly and fat

Marxism has always been tribal. That's exactly what class distinction is. The reason it's more obvious in America is that here - because we don't have rigid social classes here - they had to make it racial. But it's ALWAYS been about tribal grievance, by class, race, or some other engineered classification.

Progressivism, despite talking a great game about "reason" is mostly received wisdom. And the explanations are convoluted and sometimes defy logic to give some semblance of "too smart for you, of course" reason and learning behind it. That way they can all nod sagely and claim, "Ah, yes, it's all very reasonable when you explain it that way."
It's why they deny proper history to students and don't worry too much about math, and most of the science doesn't teach them to arrive at their own conclusions from scratch. If they're ignorant, but have been taught a lot of complicated "reason" on race and climate and economics, they will accept the received wisdom and spout it as dogma. Which means they will follow whatever those "experts" tell them and will happily enact communism via populism.
It's the whole reason Adams told us "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."

Right, but the idea though, is to alert the uninformed, people who are persuadable, that the Free Shit Army has a downside they aren’t aware of. I think estimates vary, but approx. 100 million dead in the 20th century. And that isn’t even counting the wars.

Well, said illegal was charged with sodomy, and she (prosecutor) looked lonely...

For those of you not on X, this weekend lots of Fauci's emails and diary entries were released and many of them were published on X. That's what Miranda Devine was referring to above.
The Science's saintly image is taking a serious hit. While he was busy locking us down not only was he coordinating with his minions to crush the lab leak theory he was encouraging all his connections and federal grantees to push for him to win awards and prizes from universities and institutions around the world. And some of those awards were worth huge dollar amounts.
He's an absolute demon.

Mass shooting leaves multiple people injured at Seattle food festival as terrifying video shows panicked festivalgoers fleeing for their lives
… why we can’t have ‘nice things’
Posted by: SMOD at July 27, 2026 07:43 AM (ubbnW)
Ah, here's the part left out of that quote:
after two people apparently began shooting at each other
IOW, it wasn't a "mass shooting", it was two people who were really bad shots trying to take each other out in a crowded place.
Of course, they're using the 'technical' definition of mass shooting ("defines a mass shooting as one in which four or more victims are shot"), but the real meaning in people's heads is "OMG, someone is going to target us for no reason at all." And that (as is so often the case) is not what happened at all.

"The Democrat National Committee is reportedly $2 million in debt."
Don't worry, the GOP is helping the Democrats refund the DNC coffers by voting for tens of billions in new vaguely directed monies like the recently passed "Affordable Housing Act".
Though temporarily sidelined by USAID being taken off-line, and investigations into the trillions of dollars in annual fraud, and the investigation into ActBlue and other illegal foreign money laundering operations, the GOP will find a way to fundtheir our enemies.

President Trump was the smartest guy in the room when he implemented policies to reshore manufacturing. But we have a lot of work to do. The All-in podcast crew said that China's near term projected electricity capacity is 8 TW while the corresponding US number is 1-2 TW. The Chinese edge in manufacturing is even larger.

- end the fake voting filibuster
- pass the SAVE Act
- ban birthright citizenship
- defund the judiciary
- end mandatory public schools
Public schools are nothing but a jobs program for otherwise unemployable adults with no marketable skills.
Further it is a slush fund of patronage and graft for corrupt politicians that has not only failed at its stated mission but has made education worse by every measure.

He knowingly assisted in poisoning the world, pushed for lockdowns and treatments like Remdesivir and ventilators that were killing people, and at the same time was pushing his colleagues to promote his candidacy for millions in prizes and awards while marveling in his diary that he was being anointed as a savior in the media.
And these are all his words. There's no spinning this.

Fvck Mike Brady and team of Oceanliner Designs with a full spread of Long Lance torpedoes.
Brilliant two hour documentary on YouTube,The Wilhelm Gustloff Tragedy, on the history and sinking of the German ship by the Soviet submarine S-13 as Admiral Donitz executed Hannibal to rescue Germans from the Soviet onslaught.
Until the end credits roll. Where Mike decides to deliver a sermon about how civilians keep dying in wars so he lists Myanmar, Israel, Gaza, and Iran among others. And in the credits state that all revenue from this video will go to support humanitarian relief but never says how, but we are treated to refugee scenes and white UN tents in what looks like Gaza. Really? The UN? One of the greatest perpetuators and enablers of civilian suffering in war? Is that where the money will go?
And with the image of battered little teddy bear trapped in wrought iron fencing during this sermon, his deliberate Leni Riefenstahl use of a CGI bear in scenes of the documentary becomes clear. This is Green Helmet Guy levels of propagandization.

The world of academia is interesting… even in STEM fields. A small personal anecdote… I was finishing my PhD, submitted a paper to a refereed journal and it was rejected resoundingly. So I figured that’s that, it wasn’t worthy. Then my PhD advisor said: No… I know who that referee was by how the review was written. He doesn’t like me so his review was biased. I’ll request another referee… and I’ll be darned he did just that and the paper was published.
Made me realize that all these academic journals are NOT the unvarnished quest for truth. Biases, petty jealousies, leveraging reputation etc etc… it’s a mad mad mad cutthroat world

And so do people like DataRepublican who is one of the best deep state researchers we have.

As for the others you wrote about. I keep hearing their narratives then while doing independent research, discover they are only telling the parts of the story that support their thesis while ignoring everything else.
It got to the point where I would rather spend ten minutes with AI then any time with anything on an X like platform where brevity and shock value rule.

>>I know he won’t be indicted. But I also know if we do what seems like a fools errand at first, we will knock his name down in the history books. That is worth it, especially knowing he is an egomaniac.
And maybe help prevent it from happening again as more people realize guys like Fauci actually aren't the science and trusting the government instead of thinking for yourself is a very bad idea.

Three counter points to that argument:
• "those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it..."
• "the victor writes the history books"
• "a lie told enough times becomes the 'truth'"
The point being, our culture is definitely firmly entrenched in Zero Day operations. There was no yesterday only today.
And he who has the biggest platform defines the narrative.
Sure, go ahead and to the theater. Fewer than 1% care, and of those, there is nothing that can be done about it except watch the cortisol levels rise.

There was a rather information dense book on the Spanish Flu that, among other things, highlighted the fact that at that time there were the equivalent of the Tony Faucis who were pretty much doing the exact same thing.
We didn't learn crap, even though killing millions to a disease that Rockefeller and his band of misfits cured.

Senate hearings can be held anywhere, not just in DC. So hold the Fauci committee hearing in West Virginia or some other deep red area and make him lie there, and be indicted there. His pardon does not extend to new perjury.

So the final lesson of 1918, a simple one yet the one most difficult to execute, is that those who occupy positions of authority must lessen the panic that can alienate members of a society. A society that takes as its motto, "every man for himself" is no longer a civilized society.
Those in authority must retain the public's trust. The way to do that is to distort nothing, to put the best face on nothing, to try to manipulate no one. Lincoln said that first and best.
A leader much make whatever horror exists concrete. Only then will people be able to break it apart.

The “Question Authority” crowd completely lost their shit in that debacle. I can (sort of) understand why the youngest generations were not so critical of the bizarre nonsensical schizophrenic non-sequiturs emanating from the “health authorities”.
I expected more cynical, jaded types to be at least a little circumspect.
There was some interesting pushback. Fauci and some county apparatchik tried to admonish a hoodrat to submit to being a guinea pig, and he wouldn’t have been on my radar for the type of individual being well versed in how to deal with a firehose of pseudoscience, but he was firing on all cylinders knocking down all their bullshit.

Don't bother. Your RE agent is a retard and is only good at driving around and opening key lock boxes.
OTOH, there are plenty of resources that ranks school districts, reports standardized testing and demographic racial, economic distributions.
But nothing beats driving the neighborhood and observing how the natives treat their cars, dwellings and curtilage.

When I started consulting with him, we named the company Piper Group because of it. It’s now a legit nickname, I have probably been called Piper more than my real name.

Supposably (heh) Woodrow Wilson had enough power to squash the newspapers of his day from publishing very much about the flu because he needed to get lots of able bodied young men over to Europe to fight The War To End All Wars™.
Posted by: Quarter Twenty at July 27, 2026 08:31 AM (2Ez/1)
Nice theory, but Wilson himself was already incapacitated and nearly comatose by the time the flu began spreading wildly. One theory says that he caught the flu himself on his “peace tour” in Europe; he notably lost energy and faltered halfway through the trip, and did not come home as the same man who left. The virus affected some that way, not killing them but permanently disabling them.
Anyway, the worst part of the flu came in 1919, as all the soldiers who’d been exposed to the outbreak in the trenches returned to their home cities. That’s what made it the first pandemic to break out worldwide at almost the same time everywhere.

This reminds me of Mount Everest… I’ve recently gotten fascinated all over again with the 1996 tragedy and Jon Krakauer’s book Into Thin Air. In the death zone on Everest it is truly every man for himself…. Climbers often walk right past dying people (probably for good reason: it’s physically impossible at those altitudes to carry someone else down). There was a case in 2025 IIRC a husband and wife climbing together. She collapsed near the summit and he was forced to leave his wife; she died. I just couldn’t put myself in that Sophie’s choice situation. If he would’ve stayed with her he assuredly would’ve died. But how agonizing!
Our life at sea level should not operate like the death zone

I will differ to your expertise in the flavors of the simian rectum.
Mass-market Scotch is eminently forgettable. With that I will agree.

USAID and several other NGOs were defunded and now the DNC is out of money - gee, what a random coincidence (he says snarkily). I think we have all known for a long time that lots of funding for ridiculous things is actually money laundering of tax dollars into the campaign funds for D polititurds. I want to see the Rs wipe out the Ds in the mid-terms and bring back DOGE as an official agency.
I think that close to 75% of all government spending (city, county, state, and federal combined) is waste, fraud and abuse. Let's have a goal to cut that take down to less than 5%.

The Spanish Flu was particularly good at getting the target's immune system to attack itself. So those carried off were often healthy in their prime.

Just tried it on some different areas I'm very familiar with.
Worthless. Inaccurate in all cases I tested,
Most laughable example: One area (dark red) is very desirable for the middle class - people in the region go to great lengths to live there - another (dark green) an hour up the road is literally one of the poorest and worst places in America. It's a place where hope goes to die.
It's dependent on the place being effectively unpopulated. Sometimes that's nice, but it's often because the place sucks and everyone left.
But a place with few people has few black people, and "fewer blacks" is the entire methodology of this thing. If your criteria is "I just never want to encounter black people," it's fine, but not good for much else.

There is an interesting theory that a few of the antigens had been in a previous flu...from many years before the pandemic. So nobody young had ever been exposed, but the oldsters had some amount of immunity.

The issue is that she’s 87 years old and fading fast. When she dies every news outlet will say “what a shock! She was in perfect health!”
No. An 87 year old woman who has made NO public appearances for months is not in “perfect health”.

You can try Glenkinche 12. That's a pretty good scotch for people, like bourbon drinkers, who can't handle whisky.

Even before entering the war, Wilson had warned Congress, "There are citizens of the United States, I blush to admit ... who have poured the poison of disloyalty into the very arteries of our national life ... Such creatures of passion, disloyalty, and anarchy must be crushed out."
pg 122. Ibid.
The government compelled conformity. controlled speech in ways, frightening ways, not known in America before or since. Soon after the declaration of war, Wilson pushed the Espionage Act through a cooperative Congress, which balked only at legalizing outright press censorship - despite Wilson calling it "an imperative necessity."
pg. 123. Ibid.
To enforce that law, the head of what became the Federal Bureau of Investigation agreed to make a volunteer group called the American Protective League an adjunct to the Justice Department, and authorized them to carry badges identifying them as "Secret Service." Within a few months the APL would have ninety thousand members. Within a year, two hundred thousand APL members were operating in a thousand communities.
