The Morning Report — 1/1/25

Good morning kids. Happy New Year to you all!!! Before diving into the news, I want to wish each of you and your loved ones a new year blessed with an abundance of peace, happiness, prosperity and the good health to live the most wonderful of lives and to see all your dreams fulfilled.

Special greetings to Ace and the wonderful bunch of co-bloggers who make the HQ the best news and commentary site around. Year in and year out! Here's to a great 2025 for all of us.

And so here we go, out with the old and in with the same old insanity. As my beloved hometown of yore (which sadly exists only in my memories) watched the traditional New Year's Eve ball drop at Times Square, ringing out 2024 where a woman was immolated to death on a subway train by an illegal alien savage unleashed on us by Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants, this happened barely a mile away as the clock wound down it's final hours on an overall accursed year for our nation, society and the world:

The lunatic accused of randomly shoving a Big Apple straphanger onto Manhattan subway tracks Tuesday afternoon was charged with attempted murder, cops said.
Kamel Hawkins, 23, was also charged with second-degree assault after he allegedly pushed a complete stranger onto the tracks at the 18th Street station shortly after 1:30 p.m., according to police.
The terrifying ordeal, which was captured on chilling video footage obtained by The Post, showed the hooded brute roaming the edge of the platform while the victim appeared to be looking at his phone as the train pulled into the station.

There are erased national borders and then there is the erasure of law and order meant to ensure our personal safety and security. All that does, or at least is intended to do is foment such a sense of insecurity that the citizenry becomes willing to surrender their individual liberty and rights in exchange for security. As Benjamin Franklin once said:

“Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety”

The understandable schadenfreude that appears in the comments when a Democrat politician or Leftist apparatchik becomes a victim of the policies they inflict on us is only natural, and I'd be lying to you if I declared I didn't feel that way when it happens. But to actively root for NYC or wherever to be hit by an Iranian or NorK nuke is something else entirely. There are innocent people for whatever life circumstances cannot uproot themselves and leave, so far that their destruction is to be cheered and wished for? Sorry, not going there.

That said, like the child who continues to put his hand on a hot stove only to be burned and not learn his lesson not to do that, for people to continue to elect leaders that make their lives a living hell, time and time again, is equally inexcusable and worthy of our scorn and derision. ON a positive note, the election of Donald Trump perhaps is a sign that positive change in this cohort is happening. Or at the very least a window of opportunity to deprogram those who stick their hands on a hot stove, and worse potentially shove us into cattle cars or shoot us into mass graves, if we fail in that deprogramming.

With that preamble, the decriminalization of crime, and concomitant anarcho-terrorism it unleashed on us, meant as a means to get us to surrender our freedom for security and grease the skids for the final eradication of our country as founded has many perpetrators, but its chief architect and his progeny still roam among us. That is an abomination and hateful beyond words:

George Soros and his son, Alex, have spent at least $117 million since 2016 to reshape America’s justice system. They’ve been successful: three in 10 Americans now live under a Soros prosecutor.
But the Soroses’ influence doesn’t end on Election Day. After Soros-backed prosecutors take office, the family’s apparatus tells them what to do, documents show. . .
. . .George Soros and his son, Alex, have spent at least $117 million since 2016 to reshape America’s justice system. They’ve been successful: three in 10 Americans now live under a Soros prosecutor.
But the Soroses’ influence doesn’t end on Election Day. After Soros-backed prosecutors take office, the family’s apparatus tells them what to do, documents show.
The Media Research Center obtained nearly 8,000 pages of internal documents through public records laws that show how a Soros-funded group called Fair and Just Prosecution (FJP) “directed Soros prosecutors to manipulate the rule of law concerning illegal immigration, drugs, abortion, election integrity, capital punishment and laws against childhood sex changes.” . . . . . . The Soros operation also pushed prosecutors to use mental or physical health specialists instead of police by sharing polling that showed that the idea was popular.
Soros has poured the kind of money normally reserved for statewide campaigns low-profile local prosecutor races. The Hungarian billionaire generally targets primary elections in blue areas, funding radical progressives in their races against more moderate Democrats. Once in office, these “progressive prosecutors” often decline to enforce laws they find objectionable.

Along with unleashing a wave of terrorism from coast to coast, Soros has put millions of dollars in efforts to destroy election integrity laws all over the country, which of course is how his preferred candidates get elected in offices up and down the ballot, not just District Attorneys.

His vast $25 Billion empire is now being controlled by his spawn Alex (now married to former Carlos Danger Weiner receptacle Huma Abedin and Hillary's personal Stanley Steemer) who visited the Biden infested Oval Office dozens of times in the past few years, to see him or whoever was pulling his strings.

In terms of draining the Swamp, Donald Trump and Kash Patel should make Soros and his entire organization PUBLIC ENEMY #1. There is ample evidence to declare the Open Societies Foundation a subversive, criminal organization and danger to national security. RICO the shit out of them, shut them down and confiscate every last red cent. Red as in communist and blood red from the rivers of it that they have shed.

I believe George Soros might be facing a death sentence in Hungary and at least one other country for his actions in destabilizing their currencies among other things. If anyone has any links, let me know.

Because years ago, he admitted on 60 Minutes to Steve Kroft IIRC that he was proud to help his father in rounding up Hungarian Jews for the Nazis to ship off to Birkenau, or otherwise be shot into the Danube which quite literally ran red with their blood. A fate that nearly befell an uncle who was miraculously rescued on two occasions by Raoul Wallenberg. For his services to as Whoopi rape-rape Fat Albert Speer might say, literally Hitler-Hitler, he and his father were paid quite handsomely with the expropriated property and money of their Jewish victims. Blood Money for sure.

That there should be cause enough for him to be stripped of his citizenship and deported back to Hungary to face trial. It's been done before to Nazis and their collaborators who falsified their wartime activities to come here.

If we're intent on deporting illegal alien criminals, He should be targeted first. Doing away with Soros and kneecapping his evil spawn would all by itself Make America Great Again all by itself.

On another and for sure related note, Biden's final and completely unnecessary Fuck You to America as he departs the White House, along with the commutation of death sentences for some of the most vile, execrable bestial savages including most notably the mastermind of 9/11.

President Joe Biden’s junta reached the plea deals with the terrorists last summer, allowing Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak Bin Attash, and Mustafa Ahmed Adam al Hawsawi to avoid the death penalty while pleading guilty to all charges against them, including the murder of nearly 3,000 people on September 11, 2001, the Associated Press reported. Shortly after the plea deals were announced, Austin issued an order saying he would nullify them, the AP reported, citing the impact of the devastating attacks and claiming that he should be the one to decide whether the defendants should get plea deals.
But defense attorneys argued that Austin didn’t have the authority to reject the plea deals, which had been approved by Guantanamo Bay’s top court. That court said Austin’s attempt to scuttle the plea deals amounted to unlawful interference in the case, according to the AP.

I'd wager Alex Soros on one of his trips to see Biden whispered in his ear about plea deals. Hopefully Joey hallucinated and took him for his 12-year-old daughter Ashley and grabbed his crotch. I'm no fan of Lloyd Austin for acting as the Junta's flunky for the past four years in taking a sledgehammer to the armed forces in terms of morale and readiness, and competence. But I'm pleasantly surprised that even he tried to stop this insanity.

Perhaps there is a Luigi Mangione on our side stationed at GITMO who can do what needed to be done 20 years ago. In front of a global audience.

Lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know. And my gratitude for your being here each day is truly boundless.

Again, a happy and blessed New Year to you all!

“Well, that individual is defying several federal laws. It’s a crime to conceal, harbor, or shield anybody here illegally. It’s also a felony to interrupt, hinder, or impede federal officials in deportation, as you just pointed out,” Jarrett said. “So for example, in Denver, the mayor at one point promised, ‘Oh, I’m going to mobilize police and the citizens. We’re going to stop Trump’s deportation orders.’ Well, I got news for him,” Jarrett added. “That is a crime punishable by five years behind bars for each illegal you are shielding. So if you’re shielding 10, that’s 50 years, 20, that’s 100 years behind bars.”

I do not root for anyone, anywhere to be harmed in any way. That having been said, my well of concern for what happens to the residents of NYC (or, in fact, pretty much any other big city) - innocent or not - is dry.

yeah, then FBI agent said it was not a terrorist attack.

At least they had DEI working, two black women and one geriatric white woman at the podium, telling us almost nothing. Assume the driver is dead or in custody, but they did not say that.

I guess FBI is going with "Don't say Terrorist" protocol? I'm wondering if mayor has other info to get her to say terror attack ... like was he yelling alahu snackbar? idk ... mentioned some explosive device in pickup truck, but they were not sure if it was active.

Mayor said stay away from Bourbon Street, and 8 blocks away from the scene. But enjoy the rest of the city and the Bowl game, have a nice day. next press conference not till 11am.

101 Local news on the NO truck/shooting attack: The "ten dead" includes the driver himself, so he killed nine. Currently the Fox outlet is saying explosive devices were found in his pickup truck. The cops are canvassing the Quarter, looking for other devices, I guess. A camera at the Royal Sonesta Hotel, about four blocks into the Quarter, is showing the truck on the street -- so apparently he mowed down his victims over several blocks.

Police Chief Kirkpatrick says it was not a DUI. Twenty-six injured people in hospital. She says he killed ten instead of nine. Mostly locals. Two officers shot but stable. The FBI will be taking over from the PD, though the local special agent is saying "not a terrorist incident" despite the explosives found in the truck. Press conference coming at 11:00 Central.

I don't think New Yorkers "vote for this". But, considering that the turnout for mayoral elections is less than 20%, neither can it be said that it seems too important to vote for an alternative.

133 What if this guy had decided to do this on Thanksgiving afternoon, when Linda and I were right there in that first block of Bourbon? Though I stay on sidewalks, and with the balcony posts at intervals in certain blocks, t would be harder for a careening vehicle to hit people on those sidewalks. Bourbon this morning was crammed with people in the actual street -- standing targets.

Apparently the driver rammed into a forklift that was parked on Bourbon about three blocks in, and that was when he emerged shooting and the cops used him for target practice.

224 The mass rape of tens of thousands of girls across the United Kingdom by mostly Muslim men remains one of the biggest attempted coverups in modern British history

The lenient sentences, the attempts to stop investigations and no authorities punished

This shames our country

230 At a news conference, New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell described the killings as a “terrorist attack” and the city’s police chief said the act was clearly intentional. But an assistant FBI agent in charge declared that it was “not a terrorist event.” The news conference ended before authorities could reconcile the two characterizations.

236 Reading "The Historical Enmity Between Spanish and English Culture" I'm not seeing it. Culturally Portugal is not all different from Spain, and England was able to stay allied to Portugal for many centuries.
What I read in the article is a history of Spanish aggression against England (and Spain got beat) and American aggression against Mexico and Spain (and Spain got beat). Culturally Spain has been a sort of Latin Crusader state. I doubt how incompatible that is with, say, Puritanism, excepting on Sundays.

British police turned a blind eye to grooming gangs and ignored the plight of their very young victims.

"Police had gone around to the house, they found this 13-year-old girl with another young girl, she was almost completely naked, she was blind drunk, and she was with 7 adult Pakistani men, she was drunk and leery. Police arrested the 13yo girl for being drunk and disorderly."

This excerpt is from a talk by Andrew Norfolk, chief investigative reporter for The Times, through his four year investigation into “the lost girls of Rotherham.”

249 Does Communist China invest in George Soros funds? Recall the Asian Contagion of the late 90s, when Soros was at his peak; the Master of the Universe. His funds went on a short-selling blitzkrieg from Asian country to Asian country. The primary beneficiary of this short-selling blitzkrieg, other than Soros, was Communist China. As I recall, Soros has never been critical of Communist China or the slavery they espouse.
