The Morning Report — 1/20/25

Good morning kids. Oh Happy Day!!! As I write this, it's a bitterly cold negative 6 degrees, but from where I sit there is nothing but sweetness light and warmth as this long anticipated and prayed for day and historic moment arrives at noon in Washington DC. At that hour, as America's Lowest Debasement shambles off to a DE basement. Donald Trump will once again be sworn in as President of the United States of America. Will he be ushering in an era of actual national revival or will his term merely be a short term pause in the generational ambitions of our internal enemies to destroy our nation and society to supplant it with the tyranny and oppression that has been the hallmark of governments since time immemorial. Evil never rests, and the historic and perpetual seat of evil in America, the Democrat Party is not going to disappear.

Remember, we do not share common ground nor common goals. It's not about mere policy differences, it's about the nature of our very existence.

What we see today is a party without a plan, struggling to adapt to an electorate that has outgrown its stale rhetoric and empty promises. Their loss of credibility, failure to connect with working-class voters, alienation of minorities, and disastrous leadership have left them floundering. But make no mistake: the Democrats will soon find a new narrative, a new cause to rally their base. And when they do, Republicans will be ready to tear it apart—just as they always have.

For now, the Democrat Party has mastered the art of losing. Their inability to address the concerns of everyday Americans has handed Republicans an historic victory. As the left scrambles to reassemble itself, the GOP can savor the moment, secure in the knowledge that they’ve delivered what Democrats could not: a message that resonates and a vision for the future. Now is the time for them to execute on President Trump’s America First mandate.

Make no mistake, I am overjoyed beyond words that Chlamydia Harris and Obama or whoever is behind the scenes running the show have been derailed because had she/they prevailed it would've been the final nail in our coffin, and yet despite the miracle of the Reagan years, America still gave the Left 16 years of Clinton and Obama which sadly the Bushes did nothing to prevent nor insulate against since they too are part of the same hypocrisy and criminality that eroded the foundations of the Republic, albeit for different reasons yet still with the hubris of elitism a driving factor.

Meh, I don't mean to piss in your corn flakes on such a wonderful day, but one election, even one as miraculous and glorious as this one is not in and of itself going to do the trick. We are going to have to field an army of Trumps in every election going forward, from dog-catcher to POTUS and every office in between. In order to do that, we are going to have to take back our schools and once again re-establish Judeo-Christian ethics and morality as foundational to the inculcation and reestablishment of a flourishing healthy nation and society.

For now, as Winston Churchill stated in the wake of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, "I slept the sleep of the saved and thankful." Knowing Trump will once again be in charge, and hopefully fully aware of the darkness and depth of the swamp he is dealing with will be better prepared to fend it off and really pull the stopper out of the drain, I too am relieved. Perhaps the Los Angeles firestorm, as well as the other natural and unnatural disasters unleashed on us by Democrat Leftism will at long last open enough eyes so that Donald Trump's RE-re-election is merely on the cutting edge of a real sea change in our collective culture and mindset.

Let January 20th of 2025 be a day long remembered as the moment the Neo-American and neo-Western Renaissance came to pass. May we all live long enough to actually see that hope and prayer realized.

Elsewhere, while I am overjoyed by the release of the first Israeli hostages by the savages of Hamas, I cannot help but have major reservations about this deal that also saw the release of Islamic savages in exchange. And behind the scenes, if this is true, it is a massively inexcusable blunder. And something I had thought Trump unlike presidents past was going to reject. That is the Peace Process myth that only helps empower the Swamp Dwellers of Foggy Bottom and the Muslims baying for an ocean of Jewish blood.

Presidential teams have all sorts of players on them. And much as some might have hoped that after the first term, the Trump team would be ‘clean’, that’s proving not to be the case.

The adoption of Biden’s disastrous surrendering to terrorist deal by Steve Witkoff, Trump’s Middle East envoy, appears to have saved Hamas.

And we’re getting all sorts of leaks to the media by people supposedly on the Trump team blasting Israel and propping up Islamic terrorists in Gaza and Lebanon.

The latest one is an NBC News story touting Witkoff and a larger ‘nation-building’ agenda for Gaza.

President-elect Donald Trump’s envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, is considering a visit to the war-torn Gaza Strip as part of his efforts to keep a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas on track, according to a transition official with direct knowledge of the ceasefire process.

Witkoff appears to have had his activities directed by the Emir of Qatar. He appears to have had past financial dealings with the Islamic terrorist state which was also linked to 9.11. And Qatar is a state sponsor of Hamas.

But a basic question is who is this unnamed ‘transition official’ laying out an elaborate agenda for Witkoff who sounds more like an Obama or Biden official.

Anecdotally, Steven Witkoff is almost as big a real estate developer as the Trump Organization and I actually did some work for him a number of years ago on a potential project he was pitching to Sheikh Mohammed of Dubai. Continuing...

What kind of Trump transition-official rants about the “right-wing of the Israeli side”?

And pushes nation-building in Gaza.

At the same time, Witkoff is working to achieve long-term stability for the Israelis and 2 million displaced Palestinians, the path to which runs through the three phases of the deal reached this past week…

While managing the current phase of the deal and negotiating the next, Trump and his team also are contending with longer-term solutions.

“If we don’t help the Gazans, if we don’t make their life better, if we don’t give them a sense of hope, there’s going to be a rebellion,” the transition official said.

This is not what anyone outside Dearborn voted for. Trump voters don’t want America going back to the same failed Obama policies and trying to do nation-building in Gaza or making “their lives better”.

The only thing that we should be doing is getting the hell out of the way while Israel can engage in myth-busting – to Wit the myth of a Palestinian people, history and homeland that was concocted by the KGB and Arafat as a means of delegitimizing and dismantling Israel, and ousting America from the region.

And if it means bulldozing Gaza into the Med and bunker-busting the rubble into dust, so be it. If these dark age savages can't accept being a part of a state run by and living as fellow citizens with Jews (the horror!) then they can go to Hell, or Pakistan. Meh, even the Pakistanis don't want them, like every other Muslim nation on the planet.

I can only hope Steven Witkoff isn't envisioning his name on top of a string of hotel/casino/resorts/condos and marinas along the Gaza coast as his reward for his efforts. Ugh.

Speaking of terrorism and Tourism, What about Washington DC at noon eastern:

Left-wing radicals have been mobilizing near the nation’s capital ahead of the January 20 inauguration, which has been moved indoors. Since summer, we have tracked D.C.’s radical networks—their movements, methods, and potential for violence. After George Floyd’s death in 2020, these groups learned that street protests could yield political gains. Now, with Donald Trump returning to the White House, they’re weighing their options.

This network is decentralized, adaptable, and steeped in organizing social unrest. Black Lives Matter messaging is fading, replaced by anti-Israel rhetoric. As Inauguration Day approaches, Communist militants and members of Antifa-aligned hubs have suggested storming the Capitol, bringing “direct action” to the streets, and obstructing law enforcement. If these demonstrations unfold, they will have been carefully planned and ideologically incited by professionals, some visible, others hidden.

The network spans college professors, nonprofit leaders, and masked and often troubled militants willing to engage in violence. Those less directly involved play a sophisticated inside-outside game, relying on prestigious NGOs to provide financing and logistics while maintaining arm’s length control
over the more radical elements, which do the dirty work.

Key components of this infrastructure include legal organizations, violent demonstrators, street medics, propaganda specialists, and safehouses, indoctrination

Meh, tinfoil hat time: Perfect cover for the CIA, DOJ, FBI Deep State to have one or more of their minions (a patsy with a Pete Hegseth tattoo!) take a couple of pot shots at Trump, or is that crazy talk?

On another note, today is the holiday celebrating the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. For sure he was a problematic figure, but the irony of his I have a Dream speech in which he prayed for the day when people are judged by the content of their character and not the color of their skin runs completely against the dogma of the DEI mantra where Color of skin, sex/gender (real or imagined) is more important that content of character or competency, as we have seen everywhere from Harvard to Los Angeles and all points in between.

Firstly, why is MLK controversial as a hero? King did a great deal for Civil Rights and inspired millions, undeniably, but there is evidence he also did a number of morally reprehensible things in his personal life, including having affairs with as many as 45 women. And then there’s the fact that part of his most famous speech was plagiarized from another black Republican, Archibald Carey. In 2019 it was reported that, “Secret FBI tapes that accuse Martin Luther King Jr of having extramarital affairs with '40 to 45 women' and even claim he 'looked on and laughed' as a pastor friend raped a parishioner exist.” Whether all those accusations are completely true or not — the FBI has sometimes been accurate in investigations — King was undeniably a philanderer and plagiarizer. He was not the best representative of black American heroism. So who is? Well, I don’t know if there’s one person in particular. But there are countless noble and essential black heroes in American history who deserve far more recognition than they now get. It is important to celebrate Americans of all ethnic backgrounds, but in light of tomorrow’s holiday, I will focus on black Americans today.

And 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.

Have a wonderful day, and I know you will! God Bless and keep Donald Trump and all who support him.

  The pardons are the least surprising news of the day. Now that they can't be indicted, let's have an investigation of what they did. Nixon received a pardon without being indicted, but both a special prosecutor and a Senate committee looked into everything. These people shouldn't be able to hide their malfeasances any longer.

  Dear Reporters:
  
  Here is my statement for when Trump pardons January 6th defendants:
  “As the Supreme Court ruled in June, Joe Biden’s
  Justice Department politically persecuted Trump’s January 6th protesters. Biden gave amnesty to the much-more deadly and destructive BLM rioters. Then Biden pardoned his son Hunter, the bagman for the Biden family corruption. Biden even freed child rapists and murderers from death row.
  Bottom line:
  Those criticizing Trump’s pardons can go to hell. We won.”

  70 ...America still gave the Left 16 years of Clinton and Obama which sadly the Bushes did nothing to prevent nor insulate against since they too are part of the same hypocrisy and criminality that eroded the foundations of the Republic, albeit for different reasons yet still with the hubris of elitism a driving factor.
  
  - Bush the Elder helped put in place the resurgence of the IC and the seed of Globalism.
  - Clinton was mostly just corrupt but he started/accelerated the selling of America.
  - Bush the Younger cemented the actions of Clinton, enhanced the police state, and really started the forever wars.
  - Obama destroyed 1/6th of the economy on the alter of "fairness" and the stupidity of the average American while accelerating the degeneracy of the culture.
  - Trump the First... GOD love him but he didn't accomplish as much as he might since he had to fight everyone in government while dealing with the masked jackals of the pretend right.
  - Biden... 'nuff said.
  
  The better part of 36 years of "near?" treasonous leadership.

  There won't be any process. The press won't cover it, and Trump doesn't seem to be interested in taking them out. Forget it. They committed crimes to try to derail him and us, and got away with it. They're still around and will cause trouble for the foreseeable future.

  105 if you see ICE out and about doing immigration raids after tomorrow start yelling la migra. that will help alert anyone in danger. make ICE's job as tough as possible when it comes to their planned raids
  
  Have you experienced a raid? Paramilitary swat teams descend, order people to line up against the wall at gunpoint. Brown here, white there. No talking. No phone calls. People are separated out, often women, bullied and interrogated, forcing them to rat on family friends and co-workers. People are handcuffed, taken to busses, and driven to private hell hole detention camps.
  
  Not sure at what point in that scenario we should "start yelling la migra". You will be treated very brutally if you try to interfere in any way.
  
  This reign of terror has been going on for a long time.
  
  Want to know something gross? ICE used to hang out outside the middle school I taught at in NYC. Just chilling with the NYPD. We always kept our kids safe.
  
  These will be used more as a way to keep the MAGA base from acting up since Trump isn't going to do anything to improve their lives. So if they start complaining too much they will do a public raid to calm it down.

  133 So, with all of the pardons, what can we do? Nothing, I guess. Just make society a place they're not welcome. Other avenues are to hound them in every aspect of their lives. Use those 87k IRS people to scrutinize all their tax returns. Investigate their dealings with out enemies. Comb every bank record, expose their criminal activities, their sexual histories. Do everything to make their lives miserable. Insult and demean them on social media. Put up billboards listing their evil deeds. Make them so miserable they'll leave and never return.There's plenty that can be done to them, we just have to have the will to do it.

  While I'd ultimately like to see massive raids and deportations, if this was telegraphed enough, maybe most illegals have fled or gone into hiding. Lose jobs, scare employers from hiring them in the future...illegals turn to crime of self deport?

  Me: *takes off hat and scratches head* preemptive for what? A pardon by definition is for someone who committed a crime, and then gets “pardoned”. See how that works?
  Rep: yes but they were afraid Trump would go after them illegally.
  Me: well if it were “illegal” why not just go to court and prove your innocence instead of pleading guilty and accepting the pardon?

  No! That would be the same level of Error as Biden trying to declare the ERA to be a valid amendment. Presidents do NOT have constitutional powers. The pardon power exists under the Constitution, so ONLY the SCOTUS has the power to address and interpret it.
  
  We’re already way too damn close to an Imperial Presidency, we need Trump to counter that, not build on it.

  486 I discounted the talk that the ceremony was moved indoors due to security concerns, but seeing what a nice day it is in DC, it appears I was wrong. It probably was due to security concerns.

  This is institutional rot. If I was Trump, I wouldn't have a lot of confidence in the DC apparatus securing my safety.

  Was watching them off and on the past week, obviously. I get unnerved by having to watch an ambulance-chaser ad before each stream, so I check other non-paywalled sites,
  Now everyone knows all my content consuming secrets.

  490 484 Trump should skip tea with Biden, in light of the last minute pardon. HE MUST.

  After he is sworn in, turn around to face Biden, remove his gloves, and smack the living shit out of the demented old bastard with said gloves. That would make me smile.

  492 Sean Davis accused the Secret Service of deliberately endangering Trump's life in Butler, amounting to attempting to murder him.
  
  This will be investigated, no doubt.

  498 Good morning, all, and thanks, J.J.
  
  We shall see, right? But we've been warned time & time again to get off our butts and help ourselves. Get involved now in local politics. Remember what Scott Presler pulled off around Philadelphia and its collar counties? It mattered.
  
  And all around us, the "Save Democracy" groups such as, by not limited to, the LWVs are already ramping up programs to help theirs enter the world of politics starting at school board and town council levels as so many of our states' and Congressional elected officials rose. Yes, not the more radical collecting somewhere as they will, but our very-well heeled MBA and law degreed class - lots of women therein - not taking the reelection of The Donald lying down. Heh.
  
  MLK was imperfect but still so hopeful and a much better man than many now celebrate and honor, especially in the years since his passing. May he be at peace.
  
  A lot of people probably don't know that President George Washington’s Birthday was the first federal holiday to honor an individual's birth date. In 1885, Congress designated February 22 as a holiday for all federal workers.

  499 Nearly a century later, in 1971, the Uniform Monday Holiday Law changed the date to the third Monday in February. The position of the holiday between the birthdays of Washington and Abraham Lincoln gave rise to the popular name of Presidents Day. (National Archives News)
  
  And so, while my politics-loving father thought a great deal of MLK, he held that as not even the great presidents - Washington and Lincoln - were honored by separate national holidays, no individual man or woman should be so honored with their own national holiday in the USA. It was a bit of a quandary for him.
  
  Here's the irony: My grandfather, my father's father, died on January 20, 1971. The 1st MLK Jr. Day was celebrated on January 20, 1986. Dad died on January 20, 1991 (same town, same time as his father but in hospital v. at home). And then a MIL also passed on January 20th over a decade ago! (And from the opposite side state.)
  
  All are fondly remembered, including with lots of humor in their memories, but also the pandemonium of losing our dad on the MLK federal holiday, no bank access years ago to begin arrangements & ground frozen solid all week long. Dad would be amused.
  
  🙏 Hamas hostages.

  500 PJ Media MLK article is a stupid one - it merely feeds the left's desire to repudiate his most famous teaching - because they no longer believe in it - while still hitting conservatives over the head.
  
  Dumb, dumb, dumb. Own goal. Stupid take. Take the fucking win and hit the left over the head with it. Don't let them hit you.
  
  Dummies.
