The Morning Report — 9/ 18 /26

Good morning kids. continuing with the theme over this past week of our corrupt judicial system, we have a bit of encouraging news, not that I expect real justice to be served, but still...

Earlier this week, a federal judge made a shocking charge: Larry Krasner, Philadelphia’s district attorney for nearly a decade, may be guilty of “perjury, conspiracy, or obstruction of justice.” Judge Paul Diamond referred Krasner and one of his top deputies, Matthew Stiegler, to the U.S. Attorney’s Office to investigate potential federal crimes.

As we all know, or should know Krasner is a bought and paid for agent provocateur of anti-American traitor and bustout proud admitted Nazi war criminal/collaorator George Soros. Here's a bit of Krasner's rap sheet courtesy of the invaluable DiscovertheNetworks. Keep this website handy as it is a go-to resource of the who's who of traitors destroying America from within

Running as a Democrat, Krasner stated that his top priority as District Attorney “will be ending mass incarceration in Philadelphia.” Said his campaign website: “The cost of imprisoning one person for a year pays the salary of a young public school teacher, social worker, or police officer engaging in appropriate community policing. Resources could instead be invested in job training and addiction treatment. Mass incarceration simply won’t heal our torn social fabric, and does not make us safer.”
...Policy of Non-Prosecution & Non-Incarceration Krasner was sworn in as Philadelphia D.A. on January 1, 2018. Soon thereafter, he issued a non-prosecution policy memo to the attorneys in his office, mandating that criminal prosecutions for various offenses should be either minimized or abolished altogether. As a result of Krasner’s new guidelines, it became commonplace for the Philadelphia D.A. office to drop criminal charges against even the most dangerous defendants. Between January and September of 2020, for example, Krasner’s office dropped charges on more than 60% of all shooting cases in the city, as well as 37% of illegal firearms cases.

THIS TWISTED Bastard and his coven have devoted themselves to the destabilization of society which has the net effect of destroying it, the goal of the Anti-American American Left and Democrat Party for decades.

Again as we all know or should know, besides Krasner, every major and many minor urban areas as well as states have DAs and Attorneys General bought and paid for by George Soros.

Yeah, surprise surprise, this is who they have running for senator in Arkansas

Arkansas Democrat Senate nominee Hallie Shoffner vowed to "redirect" the "considerable resources of the federal government" away from "punishment" and toward "treatment and compassion" as part of a push to spend taxpayer money "in an equitable fashion," video footage reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon shows.

Meh this filthy slag is representative of every single Democrat running for office at every level. Compassion for the criminals and degenerates but not for the victims, since We the People are the criminals who have to be punished for the original sin of America as founded

Until they're forced to whistle a different tune.

Minister at Talarico’s Austin Church Says Woke Senate Hopeful is Shifting Positions to Win Over Moderate Voters “I can guarantee you that once he gets elected, he’ll change his tune back to where he was," said Reverand Babs Miller, 83, a lesbian minister at the parish at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church.

Somebody please for the love of all that is just and good reassure me that this bastard doesn't have a snowball's chance in Hell of actually winning a senate seat in Texas. ¡Hay Caramba!

The radical ally of Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed said in an interview Thursday that the United States has committed more terrorism than the radical Islamic group behind 9/11.
Hasan Piker told Axios that, “pound for pound,” the United States had killed more people than al-Qaeda, the organization that plotted and carried out the September 11, 2001, terror attacks. Piker, a popular leftist streamer who once said America “deserved 9/11,” has campaigned alongside El-Sayed.

SO why am I getting so exercised about Krasner and his ilk since El-Sayed and the Muslims will have us all under Sharia Law once they gain power. No way Krasner will face any real justice but once the head-choppers and clit-clippers rule the roost his head will roll soon thereafter as history has shown us time and again once allies of convenience are no longer needed.

Have a great weekend one and all.

Made the decision to run a whispering campaign to win a write-in vote for a minor local office. I would work with the guy that replaced me when my health led me to resign during my second term.

It is a thankless public job, but, if well done, keeps my property values up.

In the Primary, with no name on the ballot, the highest write-in vote person had 3 votes. This is a case of your "friends" putting your name on the ballots. Sorta the reverse of a popularity contest. No one wrote my name in during the primary.

16 Crossroads Trump says he has a ‘big decision’ coming up on Iran: ‘Do I want to go in and annihilate them?’

I can't help but get the feeling that America was envious of Russia being in an endless and pointless low intensity "war", but improving on it by only grinding on the matériel, and losing political power rather than also ending blood lines.

To the point that Congress would step in and say "Stop It" and cut off the funding. That is an absolute certainty if the US votes in a Communist controlled House a/o Senate.

The endless war strategery could have worked this time: because of war we need to wave off the litigation and red tape to open up domestic REM mining and other impediments that are cast aside when on a war footing.

But Congress and half the population hates America more than their own macro economic and social survival.

This is a classic example of propaganda. If you are not constantly immersed in the political social media world, it is not a natural connection of high gasoline prices mean vote for a different party.

This is projection based on being far too stupid to realize that if you make that association you are following a crafted narrative by a party that as a matter of deliberate policy sadistically increases gasoline prices—simply because its a flex.

Remember the "I Did That" Joe Biden pump stickers? It had no real political value, but it made the political neurotics in the Demonic Party seethe. Which I believe was the actual point. It didn't educate anyone, it was a meme to put some of the more volatile Leftists on tilt.

There is no need for a war to get realignments. The US was in a "war" drought in Trump 1.0 and we got the Abrahamic Accords.

There was realignment during the Climate Change™ scam, the Covid-1984™ coup d'etat, there is another for Tariffs, another for Belt & Road Initiative. The whole Donroe Doctrine of the Communist rejecting wave in so many countries in the Western Hemisphere had nothing to do with cleaning up after Israel's head strike adventure in Iran.

64 As CBS News reported Thursday evening, a recent federal ruling that significantly eased some of the restrictions on short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, and suppressors was in the crosshairs of several DOJ lawyers who claimed that federal firearms prosecutions are suffering as a result of the ruling by Trump-appointed U.S. District Judge James Wesley Hendrix, who operates out of the Northern District of Texas.

People who are being prosecuted for actions which are constitutionally protected are having an easier time defending themselves. Government persecutors aghast.

147 >>Fired federal "Institute Of Peace" employees somehow ginned up a theory that Trump is going to put his name on the office building where they used to go collect paychecks. Insanely, they are pooling their shekles and suing in hopes a federal judge can be swept into their conspiracy theory world.

A, at this point, I want Trump to put his name on half the buildings in DC to keep the locals triggered

B, IIRC, the Institute of Peace building was incredibly posh, with its staffers paid incredibly well whileno one outside of DC had ever heard of the place/part of the US government.

Also, that's the one that literally barricaded the doors to prevent DOGE from entering, right? They are a sketchy bunch who were obviously acting outside the law and using a ton of taxpayer money to do it.

A compromise: name it after Trump, then tear down their precious building!

The only reason I doubt that is because Beshear surely knew his true condition throughout. And if the turtle was non-responsive, Beshear would have just appointed someone and welcomed the court fight. He'd have been a dem hero for exposing it and it would have given his '28 run a huge boost. I don't think he would have passed up that opportunity.

The Democratic National Committee racked up two of its biggest grassroots fundraising months in a midterm cycle this summer, bringing in more than $14 million combined in July and August.

And, I have good news,
But the DNC’s strength with small-dollar donors doesn’t close the gaping hole in the party committee’s bank account, especially when compared to the Republican National Committee. As of July, the DNC had $16 million in cash on hand, but $18 million in debts. The RNC ended July with more than $130 million in cash.

174 Why Egypt won’t touch Yemen - I read up some background on that once since a) inhibiting traffic through the Suez truly does cost them a lot of money, and b) by the numbers, they have one of the largest military forces in the region.

The reason - in the 60’s, Leader Nasser decided that Yemen was weak and that Egypt needed to expand its influence, so he ordered his clearly superior army to invade Yemen. What followed was called “Nasser’s Vietnam”, in which the mighty Egyptian army got its ass kicked. Many military careers were destroyed, Nasser fell from power later in the decade.

The Egyptian military is still scared to death of engaging with Yemen and will never go back, much like America would never fight another ground war in Vietnam.

196 >>Abdul El-Sayed calls him "hilarious" and a "fellow Egyptian." Mehdi Hasan calls him a "good friend." But Bassem Youssef, known as "the Jon Stewart of the Arab world," is also an antisemitic conspiracy theorist who regaled Candace Owens with loony canards about Israel on her podcast.

Youssef asserted in the Jan. 29 interview that the 9/11 attacks were a "false flag" operation conducted by Israel. And he accused the Jewish state of fomenting other "false flag" attacks, including the Bondi Beach massacre in Australia, in which ISIS-inspired radicals murdered 15 people at a Hanukkah celebration on Dec. 14, 2025. . .

"I'm also really excited… you know Bassem Youssef, fellow Egyptian," said El-Sayed, who was born in Michigan to Egyptian immigrants. El-Sayed's mother worked for an Islamic nonprofit that was sanctioned for raising money for al Qaeda.

"He's hilarious," El-Sayed said of Youssef.

- generic polling is widely ranging from +13 to +3 Dem
- Yet poll out of MN shows Rs tied or leading; indeed, every poll nearly everywhere is showing close races
- Rs have like a $1 billion cash advantage; and have just started spending (Dems have been spending all summer)
- watch where Trump goes and where he spends his money; some of it is just party service/building, some are feigns/overlapping media market; but some are where the real action is

Did you know he used to have a podcast under Crooked Media, the Obama bro company that started with Pod Save America? He's been in the Obama inner circle for a while.

I have no clue if he can win. Just saw on X that CNN's Dana Bash reported a new poll out of Michigan that 45% of the electorate would not vote for a Muslim candidate, and the lefty Detroit News endorsed Rogers.
Amazing!

However, Rogers had the election stolen last time (votes counted after election day reversed his win), so similar shenanigans would not surprise. The Obama machine wants him.

Anyone who has debt can put their withheld taxes for 2026 toward that -- and if you are not paying federal taxes, then I guess you're already getting a break.

264 Good morning, all, and thanks, J.J.

From above, "SO why am I getting so exercised about Krasner and his ilk since El-Sayed and the Muslims will have us all under Sharia Law once they gain power."

To support your logic and concerns on both fronts:
👉 Broad + Liberty: Thom Nickels: How Pa’s Muslim population is reshaping its politics — and its governor, August 28, 2026

And Larry K. appears to be their guy.

AI: Krasner has frequently utilized a unified front with Muslim, Christian, and Jewish clergy to push back against federal intervention in the city. When the Trump administration threatened to deploy National Guard units or heavily expand Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations within democratic-led cities, Krasner aligned closely with local imams (such as Imam Kenneth Nuriddin of the Philadelphia Masjid) to denounce the actions as overreaching and safely shield immigrant and faith communities from federal crackdowns.

265 Amid rising political tensions and localized incidents—such as the federal arson indictment involving the Northeast Philadelphia Islamic Center—Krasner’s office has campaigned intensely for stronger protections. In mid-2026, Krasner released a comprehensive report calling for immediate state legislative reform to expand Pennsylvania's narrow hate-crime statutes, aiming to better identify, document, and prosecute bias-motivated crimes targeting religious and minority groups.

A central tenet of Krasner's intervention strategy has been bypassing traditional policing to invest directly in neighborhood-level infrastructure. His office utilizes violence prevention microgrants (reallocated from civil asset forfeiture funds) to back community organizations. This includes funding grassroots and faith-adjacent groups in heavy Muslim corridors like Germantown and West Philadelphia (such as the Men of Courage gardening/mentorship initiative and the DATA CoLab pilot) to tackle gun violence and provide restorative justice alternatives for young adults.

Krasner’s economic crime interventions have also directly targeted exploitation within local sub-communities.

301 OMFG, what is wrong with Lefty women?!

Lindsay Clancy has been punished enough because "She's lost her children"

Seriously, is there anything worse on planet Earth than a liberal white woman?

302 The fear about Skynet seems odd.

The most likely negative impact of AI is an increase in unemployment since it will be able to get fewer people get more work done faster (for many but not all things)

And I can see variants of the grey goo problem.

But a sentient, malevolent AI killing people? Come on. We use AI in two separate ways, the real world LLM way where it is basically a much better google algorithm and the Sci Fi way where a computer can think like a human.

The latter doesn't exist and is likely impossible.

It's worse than that. he doesn't have answers on how he's going to do it. He just thinks that we can wipe out mortgage debt, student loan debt, credit card debt, etc. etc..

311 268. Where are the laws protecting everyone else from the muslhams?

Posted by: Sponge - F*ck Cancer

Say what?!

This & similar groups in other PA counties is what's being put into place:

The Delaware County Human Relations Commission (HRC) was established via a county council resolution and subsequent December 2025 ordinance to locally mediate and address discrimination claims.

Expanded Sectors: The HRC has jurisdiction over four key public and private domains: housing, employment, public accommodations, and healthcare.

Protected Classes: The scope covers over two dozen protected statuses, including race, color, religion, national origin, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, disability, age, veteran status, and source of income.

312 In fact it is not at all unusual for some candidate they like to get elected, implement their crazy leftwing crap, and see these LIVs complaining about it only to...vote for the same person again. Because their opponent, usually some left of center Republican, is "like a literal NAZI n'stuff"

Or as I put it, "Sure the Republican would deliver better policies, but he might take the gay pron out of the school library and we can't take that risk."

315 explaining how immigration controls are immoral, and that future generations will be embarrassed by the past existence of borders.
---
I don't give a shit about future generations and only those who seek to enslave us today in their maze of horrors bring up such trite bullshit.

My morality isn't guided by some mystical future peoples but what was laid down over the past 5,000 years by Christ and His prophets.
All other systems of morality are demonic abominations.

If I told you a future peoples would demand that we kill all genetic and mental defectives, or say, all Indians, you'd see me for the monster that I am.
Telling me my morals today must be based on some future mores is exactly that, just by degree.

317 There's a little church down the road in Chantilly...just sayin'.
Posted by: RedMindBlueState at September 18, 2026 09:24 AM (P6lWH)

That'll be a beautiful church once they complete all the renovations. I might visit there once they're done.

I assume, that, as a non-Orthodox, I would not be permitted to take Communion. Correct?

318 Kinda odd how the places that rank dead last in every other metric of civic engagement turn out 100%+ for elections.

I saw an interview with an older Philly hooker from a few years ago. She said that Philly has always been a shady, crime filled place, but there was a certain method to the crime so yeah you could get your drugs, your sex, or whatever other illicit stuff you wanted, but you wouldn't get stabbed for no reason and there was a sense of community and all that's changed.

My guess is what she was seeing is a move from the old style Democrat/Mob politics that Northeastern cities used to have to the newer Democrat/Illegal alien gang politics that now rule them.

And yes I do watch some odd stuff.

319 "Lindsay Clancy has been punished enough because "She's lost her children""

A new version of the classic definition of chutzpah.

The parent killer asking the judge for leniency because he's an ophan.
