The Morning Report — 3/ 3 /25

Good morning kids. For those of you in South Carolina, stay safe! Hopefully your localities are not headed up by Bass-holes and Newsoms.

Of course the big story is the fallout, pun intended I suppose, of the Trump/Vance Borscht-belt refugee Shecky Zelenskyy meeting that the latter seemed to intentionally sabotage. Either that or the Pissant Pysanky is just naturally clueless and boorish. To not have known going in what the position is of the person you are bargaining with is to completely flunk diplomacy 101. Trump has made crystal clear for quite some time, his disenchantment with those who seek to waste billions of dollars and millions of lives on what is essentially a centuries-old border dispute between Russia and Ukraine that has the potential to touch off a third world war. It's also reflective of the feelings of a solid majority of the American people, Ukrainian flag emojis on Facebook notwithstanding.

Despite at certain points in history being an independent country, Ukraine for the most part was for centuries either part of the Tsarist Russian Empire or of the Soviet Union. Now, did Vladimir Putin have the right to launch an invasion and war to take back part or all of Ukraine by force of arms and in so doing slaughter thousands of people including his own soldiers and citizens? No. But to not recognize the blundering and political bullshit emanating from Foggy Bottom going back to the Obama and Clinton years in setting the stage for this, is willful ignorance, mostly on the part of the institutional Left in this nation and the warmongering neocons who can't see past their own snouts in the trough of the military industrial complex that get fat off the blood and treasure of America's soldiers and taxpayers.

Of course, the usual suspects are blaming Trump and Vance and worse than that are once again trotting out the hideous slander of them being Putin's puppets. Even way before Trump shut this travesty down, the word "Impeachment" has been echoing through the whorehouses of Congress.

The Anti-American American Left could care less about Ukraine except for how it could be used as a weapon to rid themselves of Donald Trump and more importantly, protect their generational war on America as founded and obtain absolute power. So what if millions of Ukrainians and Russians needlessly die or even if someone somewhere miscalculates and nuclear weapons are used. A lot was revealed in this kerfluffle.

The conservative lens reveals a deeper truth: this clash is a referendum on globalism’s failures. For decades, we’ve been sold a lie -- that America must police the world, that our prosperity hinges on perpetual war. Trump shatters that illusion. His minerals gambit wasn’t greed; it was genius -- a chance to onshore critical supply chains, slashing reliance on China while giving Ukraine a stake in its own salvation. Imagine a future where American factories hum with Ukrainian titanium, not Shenzhen’s scraps. Zelensky’s rejection didn’t just tank a deal; it spurned a vision. . . Is there risk? Sure. A U.S. pullback could strain NATO, embolden Moscow short-term. But the greater risk is inertia -- bleeding out for a war with no victory lap. Trump’s not wrong: Zelensky’s gambling with World War III, but so are we by staying tethered to his quagmire. The President’s play is bold, brash, and quintessentially American -- a rejection of guilt, a return to grit. Conservatives must rally here, not waver. This isn’t retreat; it’s rebirth. Let Europe carry the torch; we’ve got a nation to rebuild.

In a not wholly unrelated story, along with the cutting the funding to financially wasteful and in most cases societally destructive bureaucracies, Last week President, and Commander-in-Chief of the United States' Armed Forces President Trump sacked a whole lot of Flag officers

The current president’s decision to fire flag officers isn’t a break with American law and tradition. The “Appeal to Congress” from former secretaries of defense certainly is. The warning about a crisis is the crisis. This dangerous argument needs to be hammered into its grave, quickly and forcefully.

Like DOGE and the wholesale rejection of Democrat policies across the board by wider and wider swathes of the citizenry is a crisis to those who have led us down the road to ruin domestically and internationally since at least the end of the Second World War, if not longer.

. . .Pentagon data that increasingly is calibrated in terms of race, gender, and sexual orientation, have also shown that in recent years, white males, who serve and die—asymmetrically to their demographics—in combat theaters, have shied away from the military, and disproportionally account for general recruitment shortfalls.
One likely explanation is that they apparently felt that inordinate political Pentagon DEI emphases and public congressional commentary from Pentagon brass about supposed endemic “white privilege” or purported racist cabals were aimed at them. In 2021, Secretary of Defense Austin and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs General Milley seemed to weigh in before Congress on highly political and polarizing matters of critical race theory—even connecting the January 6 demonstrations to supposed “whiteness”, opining on “white rage,” and recommending the controversial racialist works of Ibram X. [krement] Kendi.
Politics in the Pentagon predated the current Trump administration.
. . . Will there be more or fewer theater-wide wars, such as those in Ukraine and the Middle East?
Will the Pentagon procurement pivot from traditional military systems and platforms, following lessons in the Middle East and Ukraine, in order to emphasize drones, and cheaper and more numerous munitions?
And lastly and most importantly, will the generals who replaced those fired prove more adroit in defending U.S. interests and less political—or less so?
The realities that follow from these firings, not necessarily the firings themselves, or the anger at them, will answer those questions.

Recall it was the dog-eating Muslim son-of-a-Stalinist who sacked flag officers because he feared they'd come after thim once his agenda of Fundamental transformation got into high gear. Of course, not a peep from the propagandists, and of course we all know what happened to Mike Flynn.

Taken all together, the old order is being shaken apart by Donald Trump. Just his presence and for sure what he is exposing will, please God, have the salutary effect on our society and government long after he has left office.

No doubt, the will to power and those who seek it will still be with us, such is human nature, but hopefully future generations will have rejected them in sufficient numbers for a real American and western renaissance of sanity and prosperity to take hold. The fact that Trump was RE-re-elected in the first place last November, and that the approval numbers for the media are in the toilet, inversely proportional with that of Trump's first 6 weeks, while certainly not absolute proof, certainly must mean something insofar as we seem to be moving in the right direction.

If we can somehow disrupt and dismantle the Academia/brainwashing industry, then we really will have a shot at perhaps seeing restoration, or the foundation of it being set down in our lifetime.

From the ridiculous to the sublime.

President Trump has invited a freed Israeli hostage to the White House after being shocked by his stomach-turning interview following 16 months in Hamas captivity.
Eli Sharabi, who was released last month after being held by the Palestinian terror group since October 2023, is expected to meet with President Trump on Tuesday, his brother Sharon told Israeli newspaper Haaretz Sunday. Trump extended the invitation to Sharabi and other hostages after being shown clips of his harrowing interview describing his torture and starvation.
Sharabi described being chained, beaten, and starved by his captors, with treatment worsening every time Israel’s leaders announced the worsening of prison conditions of captured Hamas fighters, in an interview with Israel’s Channel 12. . . Sharabi lost 40% of his body weight while in captivity, the Times of Israel reported.
He was released as part of the first phase of a ceasefire deal that saw 29 other hostages and the bodies of eight Israelis returned to the country. A total of 59 hostages are still being held by terror groups in the Gaza Strip.

I can only imagine how the media will report on this meeting. That is if they report on it at all. Probably complain that the real victims The "Palestinians" were snubbed in favor of Israeli colonialists.

Al Jazeera can hire Joy Reid for a song! Jizz + Zira. QED.

MSNBC has just fired Joy Reid, who had her own news-and-opinion show at the network for four years. Reid is best known for her crazed anti-Israel and antisemitic views, including her conspiracy-theorizing about “who really was responsible for 9/11,” and her nonstop attacks on Israel for “bombing babies” in Gaza. . . When Joy Reid refers to “little babies being bombed,” she does not have in mind the baby-killers of Hamas, whose operatives burned alive Jewish babies on October 7, 2023. Nor does she mean those members of Hamas who murdered the Bibas boys, four-year-old Ariel and nine-month-old Kfir, by strangling them in November 2023. No, she means the IDF, which she wants you to believe has deliberately, with malice aforethought, caused “little babies” to be “bombed.” Some children, including babies, have died in Gaza from Israeli strikes on buildings where Hamas was hiding both its operatives and its weapons. But such deaths are the unavoidable consequence of Hamas’ practice of embedding its operatives and its weapons in civilian areas, using Gazans as human shields. There has never been the slightest intent by the IDF to harm “little babies,” or, indeed, ay civilians. The IDF, in the hellish conditions of urban warfare, made more difficult still by Hamas embedding itself in with the civilian population, including “babies,” makes a tremendous effort, unheard of in the annals of modern warfare, to warn civilians away from sites about to be targeted. Already by March 2024, the IDF had dropped nine million leaflets, sent fifteen million text messages, and made sixteen million robocalls

As for my co-religionists - a condition that is merely an accident of birth and nothing more. At last night's Oscar ceremony many, those of the self-gassing bent, actually cheered a pro-'Palestinian' agitprop documentary. Funny how their necks will never know the feeling of KSM's rusty hacksaw. If only.

A news outlet finally asked one of the biggest questions haunting Hollywood.
“Why Are Jewish Celebrities in Hollywood So Afraid to Talk About Antisemitism?” reads a probing op-ed at The Hollywood Reporter.
The author explores how relatively quiet Jewish personalities have been over the past year-plus. All the while, antisemitism has flourished in ways we haven’t seen in decades.
Remember how Sarah Silverman created “The Great Schlep” in 2008 to help Barack Obama’s presidential campaign? Or, more recently, how she mistakenly saw a swastika in a generic public image and cried foul.
Now, as Jews are literally chased into an attic, she says nothing.
Non-Jewish stars have been equally silent. That’s a bigger question that also needs to be addressed.
Sadly, the author is either afraid to explore the answer or can’t bear to say it.
Here it is. It’s mostly political.
Defending Jewish people isn’t cool in Hollywood. It’s framed as right-leaning and makes stars uncomfortable. President Donald Trump has been a loyal friend to Israel.

P.S. From the No-Shit-Sherlock Dept., Chris Murphy is cancer.

far-left Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Orange Man Bad) offered a detailed blow-by-blow account of the entire incident, concluding that “the whole meeting is a set up. By pushing this plan to hand Ukraine to Putin (IN FRONT OF ZELENSKY!), Trump is trying to either humiliate or provoke Zelensky. But he does neither, and so Vance has to light the match.” Neocon warhawk Bill Kristol reposted a photo of Zelensky with Trump, along with the caption: “The Leader of the Free World, sitting next to Donald Trump.” . . . For the left, that is the worst thing Trump could possibly do. From their socialist internationalist perspective, his America-First position is wrongheaded, obstructionist, and recklessly counterrevolutionary. They would rather see America bankrupted than a reconsideration of the disastrous foreign policy strategy the nation has pursued for 75 years. And so they side once again against Trump and for the continued draining of the resources of the American people. There was never any doubt that they would.

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.

20 I'm soooooo ooooold...

I actually remember back when whatever the Soviet Union said was a hilarious, untrustworthy lie, and whatever the West said seemed to be OK.

But here we are in 2025, and we have the West asking the ridiculous question, "Can we trust the Russians to keep this agreement?" That's straight-up propaganda from the people who don't want an agreement, because they're syphoning off money out of the billions being sent to Ukraine.

The truth is that the West has promised Russia numerous times NOT to include countries bordering Russia in NATO - and has NOT abided by that. It was the West that threw out a democratically-elected govt in Ukraine, and installed one that oppressed and murdered ethnic Russians in Ukraine - the very areas that unsurprisingly voted overwhelmingly to leave Ukraine and join Russia.

So who's been the bad guy here again?

Once this citizen of our free state has the sheriff’s blessing, he or she may then enroll in a government-approved “extended firearms safety course,” including a minimum of 12 hours of instruction over at least two different days. To take this course, a citizen must pay another fee which will be used to maintain a government database of those who have permission to buy a firearm.

Imprecise. This is the Globalists and their puppets. They own virtually all of the Leftists in America, but they also own maybe half of the Right (which is why the Right always caved). They also own the leaders in Europe who are making it obvious that they want the war in Ukraine to go on indefinitely. Much of the money sent there is money laundered to them - it's their ATM.

They also are making it obvious that they actually WANT WWIII. Note that the Globalists have a depopulation agenda, as well as that of taking down any civilization that's worth a damn.

When Trump 45 started looking into Ukraine, it was turned into Shampeachment One. I'm looking at you Nancy!

Once Joe was installed as POTUS it got to the End Game. Blinken / Sullivan pressed forward with admitting Ukraine into NATO, which would put Putin in check. Once in check, Putin's only possible moves would be limited to taking it up the ass forever or starting WWIII. To avoid check, Putin invaded. Putin's not innocent but he is coldly rational. Blinken / Sullivan must have foreseen that publicly pushing for Ukraine to join NATO would lead to war.

It wasn't just "putting Putin in check" - it was violating promises that had been made to Russia. It broke an agreement, and was a blatant provocation. There was also the meddling in the Ukraine govt, and let's not forget the biolabs on Russia's border.

79 The UK no longer has National Service, and the Brit Army is highly trained but very small. If they get seriously involved and casualties start mounting, no amount of recruiting, even breaking out the old posters of Kitchener, will bring in enough manpower. With the current political climate of the UK, reinstatement of National Service would be a non starter.

87 Zelensky is nothing more than a puppet installed largely by the US intel blob with support from their counterparts in the EU. Blaming him for what's happening in Ukraine is like blaming the SUV that just ran down a group of people in Germany.

What is happening in Ukraine is the result of decades of failed foreign policy from the neocons and the blob to push for a bigger footprint in Eurasia by a never ending push to move NATO eastward.

This is bigger than just Ukraine vs Russia. This is a battle for control of our foreign policy, globalism vs nationalism.

I've heard that elsewhere, so it's nice to see some confirmation. It wasn't clear, however, whether that was just a simple expression of frustration, or whether it was directed at Vance.

Regardless, Z didn't seem to understand that it will be the Big Boys (US & Russia) who work this out, and his role in this is to take the deal that is presented to him.

It was hilarious, how Trump not only didn't see him out, but made sure the world was made aware that the help would be dining on what would have been Z's lunch. Trump didn't say "I guess we're done here"; he said "we've heard ENOUGH". Incredible.

Posted by: MrExcitement at March 03, 2025 08:11 AM (hOOi9)

113 Another analysis suggests this was a setup by Trump and Vance.
That they knew Z was going to try and sandbag them into admitting Ukraine officially (or unofficially, via "security guarantees") into NATO.
That, by blowing up on him and kicking him out, they make it clear to Russia that Ukraine will never join NATO--an absolute pre-requisite for Russia to sign any peace deal.
So, now they have placed the assurances that Russia needed on the table. Because, before, Russia didn't have an incentive to negotiate. Now they do.
And Ukraine will come crawling back.
Meaning, both Russia and Ukraine have been neatly maneuvered kicking and screaming into a deal.

That's the real reason the left is howling--Trump blew up their deal and has basically forced the parties to accept his deal

I mean. It's not like he wrote a book on that or anything ....

By doing this they made it legal for the US government to push propaganda that had been designed for foreign audiences on US citizens.

From the beginning of this idiotic war I have been saying this was a war of choice by Biden, the blob and NATO and I was met with a blizzard of "Putin lover!" and Ukraine flag emojis. Support in the US for a country 99% couldn't find on a map and knew almost nothing about was overwhelming and of course it was well know Putin was Hitler despite the Obama administration playing nice with Putin just a few years prior.

Yes, except that you can't really call it "failed" if what happened is what was intended, which is how it has been going. Endless war leading to WWIII was the GOAL.

OK, maybe. But how does anybody really know that those things came from Russia? Because our intelligence agencies told us so? They're more suspect in such things than Russia!

America has never believed in permanent enemies, and Russia - as Trump has pointed out quite recently - has been made the bogeyman du jure of late. The Globalists want WWIII with Russia, but Russia certainly doesn't want that.

My impression is that Putin may have his own interests, but he wants to take down the Globalists just as much as Trump does. Russia has its own Globalist infiltration.

It's time to turn things around with Russia, and that's what Trump is working towards, among other things.

Whether it's the WEF or the UN or the Atlantic Council or various western governments including our own prior to Trump they are all of a piece. They have all been working toward the same goal.

The Atlantic Council is one of the most consequential NGOs in the arsenal. It's a veritable Who's Who of globalists, many from our government including 6 retired US intel honchos. They literally had a signed partnership agreement with Ukraine to push their goals and were getting US tax dollars as well. 1 degree of separation from the government if that.

As much as I respect what Elon and his team are doing running a computer program to find waste, fraud and abuse is a hell of a lot simpler than trying to reform an agency full of corrupt, entrenched bureaucrats like the FBI. It's not going to happen overnight but there is zero reason to believe Kash is anything other than what he's been his entire career.

What I have seen over the last six weeks is the United States behaving vilely, vilely to our friends in Canada and Mexico, vilely to our friends in Europe. And today was the bottom of the barrel, vilely to a man who is defending Western values, at great personal risk to him and his countrymen.

Donald Trump believes in one thing. He believes that might makes right. And, in that, he agrees with Vladimir Putin that they are birds of a feather. And he and Vladimir Putin together are trying to create a world that's safe for gangsters, where ruthless people can thrive.

329 The foreign policy elite put Karzai in power in Afghanistan. How'd that work out?

There was an obvious leader for the anti-Taliban resistance in 'Stan, a guy named Ahmad Shah Massoud - he was the guy the US supported during the cold war, and had defeated the communists and set up a government.

But, after Clinton pulled aid to him and Pakistan created the Taliban he was reduced to controlling a mere part of the country.

Unfortunately AQ assassinated him the day before 9/11.

I have a friend who returned to the RCC after being non practicing for years. He said this is his daily prayer, "Lord show me something today." And the Lord showed me something today. There was a older man reading a book ( and I usually ask people what they're reading) at the local coffee shop. He was reading a Benedictine spiritual devotional and we had a lovely conversation about Benedictine spirituality and prayer and how much he admired John Paul Ii and how beautiful the church he attends is and his grandchildren. We took down the name of the church I serve and said he would pray for us and for me. I was so touched. And thankful to God and to this man for our very pleasant conversation.

like those fake polls before the election showing Trump +1 and winning all 7 battleground States. yeah they were BS.

I doubt his approval rating is anywhere near 51%. I sometimes think they take these polls in deep red areas of the country.

Look at the details! Even a majority under 30 approve. Gen Z and very late Millennial men are in the tank for Trump and the rest of MAGA/RW scum. Fucking Rogan is the chief herder of them, plus vermin like Jordan Peterson, Cucker Tarlson, Tate, etc etc.

“I think we’re not trapped here,” BET’s Sistas star continued. “With the political climate that’s going on in the United States of America, we are not trapped here. There are places that we can go.”

“There are countries that are receiving us back — citizenship back — with open arms, and I think that it’s time for the black community, as a whole, to start looking into those resources,” Smith added.

Feb. 19th, Economist Jeffrey Sachs was in front of the European Union giving a "Can Trump End The Ukraine-Russian War - speech. (For one, see YouTube, Economic Times, Jeffrey Sachs' roaring speech at EU Parliament, schools US Europe over Ukraine war.) In part, "Professor Sachs warned the audience, 'To be an enemy of the United States is dangerous, but to be a friend is fatal,' and urged Europe to have a 'real' and independent foreign policy - 'A foreign policy that is realistic, that understands Russia's situation, that understands Europe's situation, and that understands what America is and what it stands for.'

Among other comments, Sachs also said China is not an enemy, China is just a success story.
