The Morning Report

The Morning Report — 2/7 /25

Good morning kids. One link in particular this morning made me think of famed wit Oscar Wilde's brilliant pearl of wisdom:

In this world there are only two tragedies. One is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it. The last is much the worst, the last is the real tragedy.

And one of the toniest, most exclusive towns in America, if not the world, is getting it good and hard.

East Hampton government officials are trying to quell wealthy residents’ fears that local police could deport illegal migrants from the tony town — many of whom work as maids, landscapers, and nannies to support the luxurious lifestyles of the well-off locals.
Village and town leaders held a special community meeting on Tuesday to assure citizens of Long Island’s exclusive nabe — where the median property value is $2 million — that their hired help are not on their radar when it comes to deportation.
East Hampton Village Police Chief Jeffrey Erickson stressed that local law enforcement do not have authority to enforce federal law — and won’t hold onto undocumented immigrants if given an ICE detainer. East Hampton government officials are trying to quell wealthy residents’ fears that local police could deport illegal migrants from the tony town — many of whom work as maids, landscapers, and nannies to support the luxurious lifestyles of the well-off locals.
Village and town leaders held a special community meeting on Tuesday to assure citizens of Long Island’s exclusive nabe — where the median property value is $2 million — that their hired help are not on their radar when it comes to deportation.
East Hampton Village Police Chief Jeffrey Erickson stressed that local law enforcement do not have authority to enforce federal law — and won’t hold onto undocumented immigrants if given an ICE detainer. The sentiment was echoed by East Hampton Town Police Chief Michael Sarlo at a separate meeting.
“Our level of participation and cooperation with ICE lies in criminal matters,” Sarlo told the town board at a meeting Tuesday.
“I haven’t seen an ICE agent in this town in I can’t tell you how long.”
“You see what I’m wearing here,” Sarlo said dramatically pointing to his firearm, “People who wear this and put this on don’t interfere with other people who wear this and put this on because then people die. You don’t step in front of an Immigration Enforcement officer in uniform with a gun and a badge who’s taking his action.”
“That’s for attorneys to get involved in and that is for policies and procedures through the state to get involved,” he added.Some East Hampton residents were grateful for the reassurance that their undocumented employees and neighbors will be able to avoid deportation.
“I think it’s a very good idea and very helpful considering we have a very large community here, and people rely on them,” Alex Lovett, of East Hampton, told News12.
“They’ve been a vital part of the community for a very long time,” she empathized.
The local officials said a major purpose for the small-scale messaging campaign is to assure undocumented residents that they can interact with police without fear of deportation.
“If they’re a victim of a crime, we don’t want them to fear the police, we want them to call us so we can protect them,” Erickson said in an interview to the local news station. . .
. . . Also on Tuesday, the East Hampton Town Board held a two-hour public hearing where members of the Latino community expressed their concerns over the Trump administration’s new immigration policies.
Sandra Melendez — an East Hampton Village trustee, immigration attorney, and Spanish speaker –addressed the community and stressed that they are not obligated to cooperate with ICE, the local paper reported.
At that town board hearing Councilwoman Cate Rogers stated that the well-heeled townies will remain vigilant as the federal government attempts to enforce immigration law. “The rules are being rewritten by the second,” the councilwoman said, according to the East Hampton Star. “I want to assure everyone that this is the beginning of a conversation. It’s not a one-and-done statement, ‘Okay we did our job let’s move on.’ We’re invested. We’re your neighbors, and we’re with you.” This resistance-style approach taken by the officials in East Hampton is a far cry from the actions taken by authorities elsewhere on Long Island.
Earlier this week, Nassau County police were granted authority to help ICE arrest criminal migrants under a new agreement with the Trump administration.

First of all, any elected official who is interfering with federal law enforcement agents from carrying out their duties is committing a felony and should be charged, tried, convicted and imprisoned. Tom Homan to his credit has stated he wil be going after anyone and everyone who does this. I hope he slaps cuffs on that fat barrel of goo and lipids JB Sitz-Pritzker and anyone else with a notion to "resist."

Like I said, good and hard! Beyond them, any citizen who employs an illegal alien is harboring a criminal and as such is committing a felony themselves! Fines, property seizures and imprisonment will focus minds good and hard, n'est ce pas?

Here's an idea. The big lie Lefties always belch up is how illegals are doing the jobs Americans refuse to do? What if Dominicans, Puerto Ricans and Latinos of other stripes (actual legal citizens) who live in shitholes like Spanish Harlem and the South Bronx decided to declare themselves as migrants and drift out to the Hamptons looking for sanctuary! Now that would be hilarious. Hey Hamptons lefties, I've got your nannies and maids and gardeners right here! (presupposes our native-born welfare queens and layabout victims of the Great Society want to actually work.) Then again, being on the beach in East Hampton is a damn shot nicer than dog crap, garbage and crack pipe strewn 125 street or Morris Avenue.

Round 'em up, ship 'em out and start with the Democrat Mayors and Governors. To Federal Prison.

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 great weekend.

Just moments after being sworn in as the 87th Attorney General of the United States, Bondi on Wednesday issued a memo that pauses federal grants administered by the DOJ to localities that refuse to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The move will likely foment a court battle between the Trump administration and major sanctuary cities like Chicago, Boston and New York City that prohibit assistance to deportation officers.

In addition to slashing illegal border crossings, the Trump administration has been moving to round up illegal aliens already present in the U.S. Homan, who has been helping to spearhead these efforts, says the authorities’ initial focus has been criminal aliens; however, he is stressing that anyone present in the country illegally falls within the purview of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

The released migrants, now the missing part of the equation necessary to receive millions of tax-payer dollars, are causing the rapid closures of shelters in Texas and Arizona in the first few weeks of the new administration.

Although Biden reversed a Trump-era ban on funding in 2021, the ban was reinstated in 2023 after evidence emerged that UNRWA workers were involved in Hamas’s October 7 attacks. Intelligence reports later revealed that over 1,000 UNRWA employees had connections to Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, with some involved in the massacre. On top of that, UNRWA schools have been criticized for promoting curricula that glorify terrorism and martyrdom.

“Countries like Spain, Ireland, Norway, and others, which have leveled accusations and false claims against Israel over its actions in Gaza, are legally obligated to allow any Gaza resident to enter their territories,” Katz declared on X, formerly Twitter. He argued that nations critical of Israel’s military operations against Hamas should bear responsibility for providing refuge to Palestinians who choose to leave the territory. Katz’s comments followed his directive to the Israeli army to develop a plan facilitating the “voluntary departure” of Gaza’s residents, including exit options via land crossings, sea, and air. The move aligns with President Trump’s controversial vision, announced a day earlier, to transform Gaza into the “Riviera of the Middle East” under U.S. control, contingent on relocating Palestinians to “safer and more beautiful communities” in the region.

Robert Spencer: Hadi Matar finally went on trial Tuesday for attempting to murder the novelist Salman Rushdie back in Aug. 2022. There is little, if any, doubt about Matar’s guilt, even though he has pleaded not guilty, for he stabbed Rushdie multiple times in full view of a shocked crowd at the Chautauqua festival. Matar was supposed to have gone on trial in Jan. 2024, but Rushdie wrote a book about the attack, and Matar’s defense attorney, public defender Nathaniel Barone, received a delay in the trial so that he could review the book. It’s hard to fathom how what the victim thought about what happened might affect the guilt of his client, but nevertheless, Barone managed to delay the trial for over a year.

Young sued after the fake news outlet lied about him operating a “black market” program to exploit Afghans desperate to get out of their country after former President Joe Biden abandoned them to the Taliban during his disastrous surrender. After the $5 million verdict, CNNLOL chose to settle the case with Young for an undisclosed amount before the jury of six could award punitive damages. Young likely settled because settled means “settled.” It puts an end to the case, forecloses any appeal process, and allows Young to go back to his normal life. CNN likely settled fearing a bombshell punitive award that would’ve further shattered the reputation of the disgraced outlet. Turns out that was a wise move…

20 Blah Blah says those poor folks in the East Hamptons should be given amnesty and allowed to employ all those refugees from their violent homelands in Costa Chica and Tropico. We always pay our hired help at our three vacation homes, our villa on Maui and here in our Upper Eastside penthouse a little extra on top of the $5.00 an hour we pay them now under the table just so they can send a little money home to help out their abuelas. Being on a fixed income, this sure helps stretch our social security income.

"RTI International, a nonprofit research institute in Research Triangle Park, and FHI 360, a nonprofit organization in Durham, were both among the largest recipients of USAID funding for nongovernmental organizations, according to Congressional Research.

Between the fiscal years of 2013 to 2022, FHI 360 was obligated to receive around $3.8 billion from USAID, the third most among NGOs, according to the report.
Over the same period, RTI was obligated to receive $2.3 billion, the sixth highest among NGOs.... The North Carolina Global Health Alliance reports that there are 900 global health organizations operating in the state and 56,000 direct jobs, according to the organization's 2022 economic impact report...

FHI 360 is a key contractor for USAID's PEPFAR program, which funds HIV/AIDS treatment and prevention programs in Africa, NPR reported."

- Government bureaucrats found to have knowingly approved illegals for benefits. Loss of employment and benefits. Barred, for life, from government employment at any level. Required to have "Fuckhead" tattooed on their forehead.

98 Somehow, I seriously doubt the maids, landscapers and other migrant workers in the Hamptons are at the top of the deportation list. Currently. The administration has stated, publicly, that the first order of business is the criminal element.

That right there will take years. Roberto and Maria trimming hedges and making beds won't need to worry.

Yet... just because the crew up there is pitching a fit and making veiled threats I'd round up a couple dozen just on principle. Because fuck them.

The original post had a bit more but this portion addresses many of the falsehoods being circulated about DOGE.
🧵🧵DOGE - A Lawyer’s Perspective on the
@elonmusk @realDonaldTrump Policy Centerpiece
Tom Renz
@RenzTom
To understand anything the government does it’s usually best to start with the law or something else I might be able to sue over… in this case the executive order itself was the thing to see.
As you can see this document is barely 2 pages and certainly not written in legalise. While not a complicated read - the plan was brilliant.
Trump did NOT actually create a new agency. Instead what he did was repurpose an existing agency - the USDS - into something more useful.
The USDS was an Obamacare office created to make government software better. They were essentially software development for the bureaucracy.
Trump renamed the United States Digital Service (USDS) the United States DOGE Service which even kept the acronym the same.
Not only did repurposing an appropriate existing department allow Trump to ensure there was funding for DOGE without having to fight with Congress - he also ensured its legality.

You see Trump has power to set priorities

111 “It is really, really a sad day in America,” Rep. Ilhan Omar declared at a rally by Democrats outside USAID headquarters protesting President Trump’s reconstruction of the aid agency.

It wasn’t a sad day for America, but it was so for Somalia.

Over the last two years, USAID had funneled $2.3 billion in “humanitarian assistance” to Omar’s native Somalia. Last year it reported a request for $1.6 billion in aid and even with the Biden administration on the way out the door, it sent an additional $29 million in December 2024.
=====================
2.7 billion to Gaza under Biden Junta
3.7 billion to the Taliban

Yea, the order is bullshit.

DOGE isn't manipulating any data. They are only looking at it. Not even making copies. They're doing not-so-simple database queries on what they see, running reports and acting on that.

Trump has the authority to do all that. Even the cabinet heads do. All the way down to the branch manager at Agency X, Y or Z.

Because nothing is being changed. Yet.

Posted by: Martini Farmer at February 07, 2025 08:19 AM (Q4IgG)

115 You see Trump has power to set priorities for Executive branch departments but there are limits.
In the case of DOGE, Trump clearly had a team of lawyers looking at ways to accomplish this goal legally.
USDS was already there and funded for the specific purpose.
44 USCS Chapter 36 is the law that facilitates much of USDS. It is generally about developing tech for the government. This means that focusing on efficiency and evaluating the entire government through the lens of the IT that runs it is not really substantially altering the agency - just its focus.
At the same time Trump also wanted to bring in Elon Musk (and, at the time, Vivek Ramaswamy) and his team for an initial major audit/clean sweep.
To do this Trump referenced another law 5 USC 3161. This law governs the creation of and staffing for what is known as a “temporary organization” in the government.
This group will focus on pushing the DOGE agenda and will exist for 18 months (though their work will survive).
By including this group as temporary, Trump dodged several potential lawsuits as he may not have been able to create his own new administrative entity on a permanent basis without Congressional approval.

Posted by: rickb223 at February 07, 2025 08:19 AM (fUDLX)

116 But, we didn't vote for Elon Musk.

Except, we did. Trump said, "I'll bring in Musk and team to do this." We said, "Sounds good, proceed."

119 Trump also ordered that DOGE teams be hired in every administrative branch agency.
These teams are to include a team lead, a lawyer, an HR person, and an engineer.
These teams work for USDS (DOGE) but work with and within various agencies.
While all this is part of a “software modernization initiative,” looking at the software and how things are managed is a great way to find out where there is waste - particularly when part of the mandate it to ensure efficiency.
The last part of the post is all important boilerplate.
Trump orders all agencies to support the DOGE initiative, disclaims any other prior EOs that could interfere with this order, and makes a conflict of laws statement.
This was further insulation to make this harder for political opponents to fight in court.
Last point. I don’t like that this has to be done and think the executive branch has far more authority than they should.
That said, this order was very well done and Trump and Musk have really done a good job strategically here.

1) the trannie ban has a secret group of big supporters--black, female athletes. They really don't like white freaks forcing their way into their sports but cannot say a word.

2) black people do not like the 14th birthright citizenship argument. Argument is, that was for our people, who were enslaved, who suffered and died, brought here against their will--not snuck over the border.

Well, DeBlasio was a white dude and he was, along with Lori Lightfoot, one of the worst mayors of the last 50 years.

Adams is simply ineffective and has no politcal sway over the city council, gets no love from the national democrat borg and is unliked by witch Hocul, which means he's pretty much useless.

Cuomo will have connections and will have sway and will probably be more effective than Adams.

And forget about a Republican, that buffoon Casamatitis and his daughter run the NY GOP and he isn't going to give his backing to anyone that would have a snowballs chance in hell of competing in NYC.

If he's 20 all he's known is black and gay and protected classes, all while he's been the best of the best everywhere and has watched blacks, gays, and indians get preferences over himself and his friends. I'm fine with him being fired, but any black, gay, indian, etc. that has posted similar has to be fired, too. It can't just go one way.

We don't live in heritage America any longer. Obama destroyed it. We are dealing with it now, but we're going to have to go through some race-based realities to get back to the America of the 90s.

If you missed it, the H1B stuff blew up over Christmas. Indians from a nation without indoor plumbing were calling Americans stupid because they didn't want to be indentured servants working 80+ hours a week for 2/3rds the wage and threat of deportation.

This young man is trying to change society the way he's been shown by the protected classes. And drawing attention to things like H1Bs and such will only help.

Pretty much where we always were; State & Local fund and run schools. Schools in pricey areas will be better than schools in shitty areas. The savings is we don't have to believe or fund the Teacher's Union known as Dept of Education. Maybe States will teach their own history instead of "Teachers from Brooklyn?" No moar lessons on VA History taught by the NYTs.

Also the caste system problem is not a racist remark. States and locales are passing laws to address what has become a major problem.

He's not saying kill anyone. He's rightfully pointing out that Americans shouldn't have to compete against people in another country for jobs in the U.S. that they are qualified for. If an Indian is really better than an American then he improves the stock. If not then he should stay in India and improve India.

I don't read much into this. People who support Trump aren't interested in protesting. They don't wear the hats. But they went and voted for him in droves. And... he's already elected.

They were running the show in NAZI Germany but they wouldn't let any opposition to Hitler go unpunished. So where are they at?

They won everything. So why are they still so angry? They're sad little fuckers who know their time is almost up. They've had millennia to fuck around with the rest of us.

Seems a hornet's nest has been disturbed. They're losing their graft. They're pissed.

Posted by: Sponge

The thirty hours rule is NOT a filibuster as cloture had already been invoked. It is essentially a period allowed to further investigate a nominee before the floor vote happens. It applies to nominations for Court of Appeals, Scotus, and every head of a major department (of which the OMB is one of them). But, it is 30 hours of debate that can (and has been ended on non controversial nominees via unanimous consent).

But if the Senate majority leader so desires, you can move the Senate to 24/7 session and use up those thirty hours that way.

Replace minx.cc with acecomments.mu.nu. Or, take the digit string at the end of the address, and replace the digit string at the end of the address of a comment section you already have up.

And don't comment on old thread unless you want your IP to get automatically banned.

It is sort of like the problem with the War Powers Act. Every president (D and R) has held that it was unconstitutional infringement of commander in chief powers and it was passed over the veto of Gerald Ford.

Congress is afraid of pushing actually shutting down troop actions via the scheduled time frame which the War Powers Act requires. If Congress tried to follow that, then WPA might then be considered by the courts as unconstitutional and Congress would lose the WPA reporting function aka Gang of 8 etc. Generally Congress itself has plenary power over taxing, spending, and borrowing. As a result, courts frown upon Congress trying to use unconstitutional means to do something when it has the power literally to cut off funding to unapproved ventures abroad.

Trump apparently has competent legal teams this term where I think in his first term, a lot of his legal appointees were in on the plot to resist him using his powers.

I've been reading the court filings by the administration and they appear sound with appropriate legal arguments such as questioning federal employee unions having standing to actually be able to prevent a buyout of individuals.

Ditto for the DOGE decision which the Trump administration did a consent decree which kept their Treasury DOGE special employees in place after his team already raided that data. I think the two Treasury DOGE affiliate employees are there primarily to prevent destruction of evidence by careerists trying to cover the tracks of their criminal and reckless actions.

448 Donald Trump is ushering in a generation of new talent.
The rise of Gen Z

Is there actually a rise of Gen Z in general or just a rise of a small subset of Gen Z?

Because Gen Z overall does not seem to be a generation of talent. Lots of articles out there of Gen Z being the most difficult to work with in the workforce. Entitled, lazy, more interested in vacation time and doing as little work for more money. Not interested in working hard, pushing for 4-day work weeks, pushing for remote work (where they don't realize that companies can easily replace them with remote workers outsourced in other countries).

Gen Z is also all over TikTok with stupid "content". Isn't Gen Z less religious and less into marriage or having families as well?

I'd like to hope that Gen Z is the pendulum swinging back to conservatism and traditional America cultural values, but other than a small subset, I'm not sure I see it in the generation as a whole.
