The Morning Report — 10/9 /26

Continuing on from my rant in yesterday's editorial about RINO scum and traitors like Tom Tillis, John Thune and all the rest who will gladly allow the Democrat/Left to destroy the country so that they can loot the treasury as their reward, I got a bit hot under the collar on the latest episode of the podcast linked here
and at or near the top of the sidebar and at the popular outlets linked at the bottom of this post. Yes while the GOP establishment must be utterly obliterated and every elected official must be anti-Leftist to the bone and utterly ruthless in combatting them, in every position from local dog-catcher all the way up to President of the United States. I did not mean to imply that you should sit out an election or that allowing a Democrat to win (steal) an election let aloe actively voting for one to punish/purge the GOP is madness in the extreme, and in no way, shape or form do I countenance that at all!

This is all a long way of saying that Republicans don’t always agree. Infighting has always existed, and it is exaggerated by the leftist media, which sees an opportunity to make things worse for us. But I say to hell with them. At least Republicans are still arguing about what they believe. The Democrat Party, meanwhile, seems willing to broaden its coalition to include just about anybody with a grievance and a protest sign: Maoists, radical Islamists, militant feminists, blue-haired lunatics who take over city blocks, anti-civilization Antifa bomb-throwers, and, worst of all, Ivy League graduates.

As CBD and I tried to underscore, with the Democrat/Left in power and controlling all or even part of government would mean none of us would be safe. Frankly that we somehow survived eight years of Obama considering his chief adviser Bill Ayers at one point agreed with one of his acolytes that once he and the Weathermen had overthrown the American government and seized absolute power would have to liquidate at least 25 million of us deadeners who would refuse to be reeducated and submit to their plans for paradise on earth.

Larry Grathwohl is the military veteran who volunteered to infiltrate the Weather Underground as an FBI operative in 1969.  He is probably best-known for his firsthand account of a Weatherman meeting at which the organization's leadership, including the future Professor Ayers, discussed the logistics of how, after the communist revolution they were trying to spearhead, they would murder the ten percent of the American population that would likely remain resistant to the communists' re-education program.  Grathwohl has often been interviewed about that meeting and about his days among the Weather Underground (WU).  The focus of those interviews used to be on the radicals and their terrorist operations.  More recently, interviewers have turned to Grathwohl to help them highlight Barack Obama's own radicalism, by reminding people of the true nature of the "guy in Obama's neighborhood."

Yeah, Tillis, Thune, Collins, Murkowski and all the rest are venal, amoral pigs. But they're not going to engage in the aforementioned. Yeah, we'll be poorer and frustrated when they're in office but we won't be rotting in a mass grave should the Ocasios, Talaricos, El-Sayeds and all the rest win the next election or two which would then be the last ones ever held.

And on a very closely related note, this happened yesterday...

https://nypost.com/2026/10/09/us-news/mamdani-says-he-tried-to-negotiate-release-of-wounded-criminal-migrant-shot-by-ice-agent/

Mayor Zohran Mamdani said he tried to negotiate with President Trump to release the “criminal illegal alien” and alleged gang member who was shot by ICE Thursday in the Bronx as he called for the abolishment of the federal agency.

“Around 4 p.m. this afternoon, a New Yorker was shot by ICE agents in Marble Hill,” a furious Mamdani told reporters at the late-night press conference near the scene of a rowdy anti-ICE protest in the borough. “For the past two hours, I’ve been on the phone with President Trump and [DHS] Secretary Mullin negotiating the release of the man ICE agents shot. Those negotiations were unsuccessful,” Hizzoner said. The migrant, identified by the NYPD as Oscar Belgal, 28, was shot in the neck and hospitalized before he was taken from NewYork-Presbyterian Allen Hospital by unmarked ICE vehicles, according to the mayor. Mamdani — who spoke over protesters’ chants labeling him “complicit” — called Immigration and Customs Enforcement “rotten to its core” and is an “agency that must be abolished” in the fiery speech. “What does Trump have to say about all of this?” he demanded. “Now I made clear to the president, to the secretary, our request [is] that ICE agents leave the scene entirely — as well as the demand that ICE stop its enforcement actions in New York City.” The Department of Homeland Security said ICE had been attempting to arrest Belgal, of the Dominican Republic, who they claimed has ties to the Trinitarios gang when the shooting occurred. . . However, moments before the press conference kicked off around 11:20 p.m., “ICE put the man in an unmarked vehicle and whisked him away,” Hizzoner said. “Let me say this plainly, what happened today was an outrage,” Mamdani fumed. “Today’s shooting is only further devastating confirmation of what we have long known, which is that ICE operates with impunity, that they sow chaos and terror across our country, that they have killed far more of our neighbors than they could ever have claimed to save,” the mayor said. 

in other words, we have Hitler complaining that the Allied armies have killed too many Waffen S.S. before they had the chance to exterminate all the untermenschen and conquer the world!

As if to underscore both these stories, we have this madness:

When pro-terrorist activist Mahmoud Khalil appeared on CNN Monday, Kaitlan Collins asked if he would condemn Hamas. He, of course, would not, calling the question “silly” and “disingenuous.” It isn’t “black and white,” he whined. Even if you oppose Israel’s reaction to the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre, the answer is still black and white for any person with a conscience.
Certainly, it should be for any person who wants to become a naturalized citizen of the United States. But the fact that Khalil can’t condemn Hamas — and anyone paying attention understands that he supports the terrorist army — tells us not only that he deserves to be deported, but that it’s imperative we deport him.
During the 1960s and 1970s, immigration officials grilled newcomers to the US about their affiliations with communist parties.
Why would we import people who want to destroy our system?
Newcomers were, and still are, compelled to disavow associations with illiberal movements, violent groups and ideologies. They were also required to promise not to engage in any subversive or revolutionary activity.

Well, Khalil’s entire job as an “activist” is to engage in subversive or revolutionary activity.
Khalil is an Algerian, incidentally, not a Palestinian — though he is a champion of Palestinianism, one of the most nihilistic, bigoted, violent, anti-Western ideologies of the age.
There’s no anti-American or Marxist protest or riot anywhere in the world these days where Palestinian flags are not prominent.The French, of course, don’t need much impetus to riot.
. . . The red-green alliance between Islamists and communists isn’t new — it’s just more popular than ever.
France has over 5 million Muslims.
What you see happening this week on the streets of Paris is exactly what Khalil hopes to see in the United States.
We saw as much when he was the lead “negotiator” for Columbia University Apartheid Divest, which rioted at the school in 2024.
The group’s goal is to fight for the “total eradication of Western civilization,” “global intifada” and the “armed resistance” of Hamas. . Yes, free speech is a universal right.
And while I support Khalil’s natural right to express himself unfettered in his home country of Algeria, or anywhere else he ends up living, there is no unfettered right to be in the United States.
There is certainly no unfettered right to citizenship.
And the only useful adjective to describe the act of knowingly handing it to people who incite unrest and detest us is suicidal.

There's intentionally swallowing rat poison and then there's cancer that comes from within! Aside from those we insanely import, we have our own homegrown fellow citizens IN NAME ONLY, who seek our destruction.
Where have you gone Tailgunner Joe McCarthy, our nation turns its blackened, bruised and bleeding eyes to you!!!!!!
Wow, like so many positive waves, now I bid you all to have a great weekend!
