The Morning Report

The Morning Report — 2/4/25

Good morning kids. The old adage "Nothing Succeeds Like Success" certainly applies to these first two weeks of the Trump administration. On several interconnected fronts that include foreign policy, domestic policy and the economy, at this early date, it certainly seems as if nothing can stop Trump and company as he takes a bulldozer to Leftist/Democrat and Deep State bureaucratic cancer, with the side benefit of making anyone who opposes him look ridiculous. It not only makes those of us who put him in office to do exactly what he's doing cheer even louder, which also garners him support from an even broader cross-section of the populace who not only see the benefits of what he's doing but more crucially can compare and contrast with the abject disaster of Democrat/Leftist policy. Obviously the open border insanity is the big issue illustrative of this. More on that in a moment but first . . .

Before getting to some of the juicier nuggets in the links, of which there are many, Even if it is early days, it certainly appears as though Trump senses the political winds, which feel like a category 4 storm, are at his back. While he dared sign an E.O. barely after being sworn in that erases the revolting bastardization of the 14th amendment, birthright citizenship, and ending it (or at least throwing down the gauntlet to fight for its end.

Although he had promised to do this while on the campaign trail, he's nevertheless emboldened to move ahead regardless, knowing full well the shitstorm he is going to face. I give you this orgasmatronic story to start the ball rolling!

The draft order would be a step toward fulfilling a key campaign promise President Donald Trump made to return education policy back to the states. The order would not direct the dismantling of the department, but request a plan to do so from the Education secretary, according to
The order would also call on Congress to pass legislation striking the department from federal statute. Trump may sign the order soon, according to ABC News, but no set date has been determined.
The order, if signed, would likely be carried out by Trump’s nominee to head the Department of Education, Linda McMahon. Some officials in the Trump administration are pushing for the president to hold off signing the order until after McMahon’s confirmation, according to The Wall Street Journal, presumably to avoid hindering her nomination in the Senate.

In years past, something like this was a non-starter, even if a Republican was in the White House. Aside from the fact that the number one mission of any bureaucracy is to expand its funding and power and not solve the problems it was created to address which would ultimately mean bringing about its own obsolescence. The GOP is part of the grift and has been since the New Deal. Now to shutter the EPA and Department of Energy, then we'd really be on something.

In other news, while all the usual suspects were freaking out over Trump hitting Mexico and Canada with tariffs for their malfeasance in not keeping their borders secure and allowing the millions of third world peasants and criminals to stream across, it looks as if both Trudeau and Scheinbaum have caved and cried Uncle Sam.

“Canada is implementing our $1.3 billion border plan — reinforcing the border with new choppers, technology and personnel, enhanced coordination with our American partners, and increased resources to stop the flow of fentanyl,” said Trudeau, who announced his intention to resign as prime minister and as leader of the Liberal Party last month. He continued in his post to declare that nearly 10,000 frontline personnel “are and will be working on protecting the border,” and announced a new commitment to “appoint a Fentanyl Czar.”

And Sheinbaum.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum Monday announced she is immediately deploying 10,000 National Guard soldiers to the southern border to help mitigate the flow of drugs and illegal immigration through the U.S.-Mexico border. In exchange, the Trump administration will pause its 25% tariff on Mexican imports for one month and work to quell the flow of arms south of the border.

And Nayib Buckle the President of El Salvador will house the teeming wretched refuse that flooded onto our shores:

The president of El Salvador on Monday offered to house convicted US citizens in his country’s “mega-prison” and take in deported criminal illegal migrants of any nationality after a meeting with Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
Rubio, 53, said the deal struck with Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele represents “the most unprecedented, extraordinary, extraordinary migratory agreement anywhere in the world,” in remarks from the capital city of San Salvador.
“We can send them and he will put them in his jails,” the secretary of state said of migrants set to be deported from the US. “And, he’s also offered to do the same for dangerous criminals currently in custody and serving their sentences in the United States even though they’re US citizens or legal residents.”

From Bukele we go to Bukakke.

President Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, having been alerted to New Jersey Democrat governor Phil Murphy admitting he had an immigrant who lacked full documentation residing in his home and daring the federal government to “try and get her,” indicated he would seek to prosecute Murphy if he was knowingly harboring an illegal immigrant.
Speaking at a public event with “Blue Wave New Jersey,” Murphy bragged that New Jersey was “the lead state in challenging birthright citizenship.” Later, he said defiantly, “There is someone in our broader universe whose immigration status is not yet at the point that they are trying to get it to and we said, ‘You know what? Let’s have her live at our house above our garage’ and good luck to the feds coming in to try to get her.”
. . .“I think the governor is pretty foolish … I got note of it. Won’t let it go. We’ll look into it. And if he’s knowingly, knowingly harboring, concealing an illegal alien, that’s a violation of Title VIII, United States Code 1324. I would seek prosecution or the Secretary would seek prosecution,” Homan answered.
“So maybe he’s bluffing; maybe he’s not; we’ll deal with that,”

Here's an idea on how to deal with Murphy: conduct a 3:00AM DHS raid on his house with a CNN crew ready to film him being dragged out in his urine-stained BVDs. Then charge him with a felony, for harboring an illegal alien.

Time to pass a law in Congress declaring sanctuary jurisdictions illegal and tantamount to insurrection against the Federal government.

Elsewhere, Trump not only took a wrecking ball to the horrendous USAID which used taxpayer dollars to fund Marxists, Maoists, and other assorted America-hating bone-in-the-nose savages and tyrants as well as Islamic terroriststs who have American blood on their hands.

And speaking of which, he's cutting off the funding of UNRWA. and withdrawing us from that horrid joke of the UN Human Rights Council.

President Trump is expected to sign an executive order removing the U.S. from the UNHRC and will also call on Secretary of State Marco Rubio to examine other international groups that promote “radical or anti-American sentiment.”The executive order will also shut down funds to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), which has received over $8 billion over ten years from Western nations. At least nine UNRWA staff participated in Hamas’s October 7 terror attacks in Israel in 2023, a fact later admitted by the United Nations last year.President Trump has already paused foreign aid funding, announcing a 90-day freeze just days after his inauguration. The United States spends around $60 billion per year on foreign aid projects, the most of any country globally.

And it looks like Gabbard and perhaps Bondi are on track to be confirmed. So much winning!

Have a great day.

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.

President Donald J. Trump will delay a 25 percent tariff on Canadian goods for 30 days after the country’s Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, announced his government will make significant investments in enhancing border security and join a U.S.-led joint taskforce to crack down on fentanyl trafficking. The Canadian leader also pledged that he would move to add Mexican drug cartels to his country’s list of terrorist entities—mirroring a similar move by President Trump last month.

Historically, Europe experienced significant migration waves, particularly post-World War II and during the following economic reconstruction period. This led to spontaneous, often unregulated, immigration. European countries initially expected migrants to return home after their labor was no longer required, but regulations evolved over time. By the 1970s, amid economic challenges, restrictions became more common, altering naturalization policies. Notably, the United Kingdom shifted from a jus soli to a more jus sanguinis (“right of blood” citizenship norm, requiring parental citizenship to obtain British nationality. As of 2004—when Ireland abolished its expansive jus soli laws—Europe ceased offering unrestricted birthright citizenship entirely.

It’s Time to End DEI in Immigration
“Border security is national security. Guys and gals of my generation have spent decades in foreign countries, guarding other people’s borders. It’s about time we secure our own border,” said Hegseth, a combat veteran who served in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Guantanamo Bay. He added, “Tens of millions of people have poured across this border under Joe Biden’s administration, unchecked. We have no idea who they are. We have no idea where they’re coming from. We have no idea what their intentions are. In many ways, under the Biden administration, and Tom knows this better than anybody else. They were facilitated their entry into this country. That stops now under President and the Defense Department is proud to be a part of it. We have defended other places and other spaces. We will defend this line.”

DC AIRLINER/COPTER COLLISION, and Philly Air Crash AFTERMATH
“So I do know that, in the last administration, they were focused on not safety, but they were focused on changing the name from cockpit to flight deck, or notice to airmen, they want to change it to notice to air mission,” Sec. Duffy said after Tapper pressed him on whether DEI policies had any part in the tragic air collision that killed 67 individuals in Washington, D.C. last week. He continued: “They focused on E.V.s and sustainability and ‘racist’ roads, things that don’t matter in regard to safety.”

We tend to think of Idaho as a solidly red state.

9 What's funny is that Trump is hardly doing anything dramatic in terms of foreign policy. We've just never had a head of government who said to the rest of the world, "Come on, people. Just stop sucking a little bit. That's all I ask."

He isn't exacting tribute or collapsing governments. He's just asking them to be a little bit less of a bunch of scumbags for half a second.

And most of them seem to be saying "OK, fine", which only feels shocking because no President has even tried asking in the last hundred years.

He has another CT scan this morning to figure out what to do. I seriously think if he has to have another colostomy, it just might send him over the edge. Thank you.

That word was chosen deliberately, as "sanctuary" carries connotations of "holiness."

A sanctuary is seen as a blessed place where those who are troubled may find solace and peace for a time.

Probably a ton. From what we can see it was a slush fund to fund whoever and whatever anyone who had control wanted without it being known too much about.

How much was this used to pay off victims of governmental (or personal sexual) abuse to ensure silence? How much was used to intimidate the same kinds of people?

95 86 Yes, math and all, but I did a rough calculation yesterday; if we were to simply dismantle the Department of Education and hand the budget over to follow each child, that would be over $3,600 per student extra to every school/home school in the US.

DOE budget: $268 billion; children under 18 in the United States: 74 million. Yes, that’s about a year of children not included, but it’s also about 3-5 years of children not in school yet.

105 The U.S. Army warned that Skolkovo was being used to acquire highly sensitive information on space, satellite, nuclear, and missile technology, and in 2011, U.S. military intelligence assessed that Skolkovo had approved the development of a hypersonic cruise missile engine.

By 2014, the FBI was waving red flags, with the assistant special agent in charge of its Boston Field Office taking the extraordinary step of publicly warning that American technology had been sold to Skolkovo.

And yet, none of this scrutiny existed when Clinton’s State Department actively promoted the partnership. Hillary Clinton pushed through the assistance first.

We focus on the economy. This is what we do in Virginia and I think sometimes national Democrats don’t. We focus on competent government and running the economy in a great way that focuses on innovation and advancement.

We have what we call a make, build, grow agenda. While the Republicans are talking about cutting taxes and cutting regulation, most people understand that tax cutting is just for the wealthiest.....

This has always been part (at least since Obama) of the nebulous reason that the border is open. It is meant as an obligation to somehow make up for the chaos we caused by making guns and that means we should let in whomever Mexico wants to let through their country.

Lost in this is that it begs the question of why didn't Obama or Biden lock down the border to prevent these weapons getting into the Eden like paradise that is Mexico?

Trump's superpower is making everyone fold like a lawn chair and kiss his ass. I truly have never seen anything like it. Trump is now the dictator of North and Central America.

Neither Canada nor Mexico bowed down to him. Trump is the one that folded like a cheap suit. Mexico already supplied the border with their national guard and the deal with Canada was signed under Biden Dec. 17th.

America is always looking to crown someone the next god. After 911, all Bush had to do was climb on a pile of rubble with a bullhorn and idiots in the media like Chris Matthews was comparing him to Churchill. They’re always looking for the next Audie Murphy.

Trump folded twice, especially to Canada, who was ready to fight. The media might be spinning Mexico like it was a win for Trump, but it wasn't. China is giving Trump the cold shoulder. Only Denmark's behavior is questionable. He's only succeeded in distracting the media from his dismantling of the Fed Government.

I wouldn't put it past them to have worked with Israel to get info on their plans, but then let Hamas know where those attacks were, so they could ferry hostages into another tunnel or town.

And with the money siphoned off to actual, literal terrorists, the war would continue, and more money would be needed, and then the Big Guy and/or the cronies would get their 10% or more off the top.

The Die Hard films had it right so long ago. It's always about the money.

There’s one senior Republican who’s willing and able to fight for maintaining the State Department and the U.S. Agency for International Development budgets: Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC).

..."To those members who do not see the value of the civilian partnership in the war on terror, I think they are making a very dangerous decision," Graham said."

You know, something like this is a key to understanding how someone can go to DC and become a uniparty GOPe. It's not just campaign donations, but getting hooked into one of these nebulous foreign policy NGOs that makes them feel special, gets them prestige within the beltway, and the money: "I am here to SPREAD DEMOCRACY to the little foreigners!"

I don't think anyone actually does. It's just a humiliation tactic to get the meme going that Canada is completely dependent on the US for its continued status quo.

Look at how they lost their shit over a little tariff. "It will end us!!!! Ermagerd!". Oh? Really? You really depend on our generosity for your continued existence? And you think that's a good state of affairs?

I think (i hope) that the endgame is not reinforcing that dependency, but in shaming the feckless losers in canadian government to stop being such damned parasites, and to stop making their nation into a parasite.

I think its a big deal, because Mexico is trying to use the US courts to go after the gun manufacturers. Our domestic terrorists (the Left) have been trying to use the court system to bankrupt the gun industry through unsustainable legal costs to defend.

With Trump agreeing to working to reduce the gun trafficking into Mexico, it takes a lot of the argument out of Mexico.

187 But when Democrats say “protect Democracy” they don’t mean Americans voting and choosing their leaders.

They mean “protect USAID”. That’s what they mean. That’s how they could say with a straight face we needed boots on the ground in the Ukraine to protect their Democracy. They suspended elections, and I doubt they are very democratic. They mean protect huge unelected bureaucracies that are heretofore unaccountable with no oversight.

I like the fact that they want to be held totally unaccountable and independently choose to dole out as much cash as they want to whoever they want.

But when DOGE comes in, all of a sudden they claim that the Executive has absolutely no role in USAID activities, and that only Congress can determine who gets what.

So which is it? USAID employees have full autonomy or does Congress dictate how it goes?

Answer: JFK's EO started USAID, 47 can fire out another EO ending USAID and turning the bounty over to the State Department.

194 I can't drop my natural cynicism long enough to believe his changes are permanent and that the left will not reverse everything he does when they inevitably return to power...

I believe that one of the things which made his popular vote win inevitable was the stark contrast between Trump governance and "Biden" governance.

Before Trump, when Republicans merely slowed the rate of decay a bit, it didn't much matter. Trump showed that renewal was possible. If a Dem were to succeed him, and I suspect they'll go all out since the next President will be in place for the 2030 census, they'd likely slap Americans in the face with comparisons again.

--

The funniest part of that is that if they're being paid to pick crops, clean office buildings, labor in poultry/meatpacking plants, wash dishes, or work night shifts in restaurants, then yes, that's the crime right there.

It would be interesting to know if politicians truly don't know about work permits and how it's illegal to work in the U.S. without permission.

336 Passwords, as a tool are fundamentally flawed. Back when you need 1 or 2 it was fine.

Unfortunately passwords are the best of a very bad set of choices. Anything more complicated tends to benefit hackers more than legitimate users.

I especially like how 2FA has pretty much degenerated into ½ FA: as long as you know one of the factors, and can come up with a good sob story, they’ll let you into whatever account you want.

And don’t even get me started on insecurity questions.

A password wallet is probably the best solution. It is far from a good solution, but there aren’t any. Ultimately, what we need is a logical impossibility: a means to know someone we don’t know.

I think there is a gap here that isn't being addressed. Hackers cause enormous social upheaval and are punished as minor criminals. If you figure out a way to steal $1K but cause businesses to implement $1B in security changes you should be punished as if you stole the billion not the thousand - and yes I'd argue execution on live TV...
