The Morning Report — 3/ 11 /25

Good morning kids. Well, despite all the winning vis a vis DOGE, as well as the exposure of all the waste fraud and abuse that has opened a lot of eyes, that Rush Limbaugh of blessed memory lamented would normally glaze over. And so it is now an issue, but despite this there is yet another Continuing Resolution being put forth to avoid (heaven forfend /sarc) a government shutdown. Is this antithetical to Trump and DOGE or is it a good move politically?

“I’m not a huge fan of the kick the can down the road continuing resolution as the best form of how we fund our government, but what I do believe is that you’ve got to figure out how to empower President Trump and Elon to continue to keep the lights on to carry out DOGE,” Roy said. [Chip] Roy said he is still combing through the 99-page bill, which was released on Saturday, but emphasized that it puts a stranglehold on spending.

So we have to spend money to save money? Okay. But here we are again, even after all the fiascos of personnel vetting from Trump 1.0, this happened:

OK, I hope that this is the last time that I have to write about this execrable woman. If I don't have to, it's because she ends up toeing the Trump 47 company line — which I sincerely hope will be the case. Should I have the occasion to write anything about the goings-on at the Department of Labor, it won't be about anything pleasant. . . The Senate has confirmed that former Oregon Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer will lead the Department of Labor, finalizing President Donald Trump's Cabinet. This confirmation marks a significant step in the administration's efforts to fill key positions, with Chavez-DeRemer poised to oversee the nation's wor kforce policies and labor standards. . . I have not been shy about my dislike for this woman's politics. For starters, she's an Oregon Republican, which I'm not even sure is legal. When it comes to Big Labor, she's virtually indistinguishable from your garden variety Democrat. She's so awful in that regard that she's got me agreeing with Mitch McConnell. . . Her nomination set off all kinds of warning bells for me because she was one of the co-sponsors of the Dem-friendly PRO Act, which legalizes union thuggery and bullying via what we used to call "card check" back in the Tea Party days. It was one of the more insidious Dem initiatives that we were fighting against lo those many years ago. Suddenly, the guy who I'd enthusiastically voted for was nominating her for a position in his cabinet.

Meanwhile the Democrats are exposing themselves, quite literally as the insane lunatics they are.

While it's Springtime for Tit-ler, Bernie Sandersnista is yucking it up about Bigguss Dichus

Over the weekend, Bernie Sanders held a rally. Someone on his staff decided it would be a great idea to invite Thomas Gabel (aka “Laura Jane Grace,” his professional name) to sing for the gathered crowd. It was not a great idea. Gabel thinks he’s a woman and, with that belief, comes a mind that permanently lives in a sexual gutter. Therefore, Gabel sang a graphic, deeply offensive song about the Biblical God as a sexual predator assaulting people. Believe it or not, it was a good thing for America that he did this . . They’re not the Democrats of old, who were normal, working- and middle-class people and patriots, but who misguidedly believed that bigger government would help them achieve the American dream. Instead, they are deeply sick people who despise American and Western institutions, especially Christianity, and want to destroy these institutions in the name of a fusion of Marxism, Islamism, and nihilism. With luck, Americans will run away from this dystopian desire for our future.

And just for laughs, I give you the ultimate glittering jewel of stupidity, Jasmine Crockett

Taking a break from posting cringey rap-sync TikTok in the halls of Congress, the Texas congresswoman took to the airwaves to declare that crossing the U.S. border in violation of U.S. law doesn’t actually…violate…U.S. law. Yes, she said that. “It is not a criminal violation to enter the country illegally,” Crockett told MSNBC over the weekend. “It’s not a criminal…it’s not a crime.” “They really want our local law enforcement to go and round up people when they could be looking out for the murderers and the sexual abusers and the robbers, they want them to go and round people up on civil accusations,” she rambled on, referring to efforts by the Trump administration and some red states to allow local and state law enforcement agencies to help in detaining illegal aliens. We’ll just skip over the part where many of the illegal aliens allowed in under the Biden junta were, in fact, murderers, sexual abusers, and robbers - not that we knew that, of course, given the junta's unwillingness to treat unlawful border crossing like the crime that it is.

Yes, she has the intellectual agility of plankton. But is she wholly unaware of what she's saying or does she actually believe it? Or is it more of she's saying it in the belief if not hope that anyone who hears it will nod their head in agreement.

I think the results of the last election explodes that theory all to hell, and ditto the transexual madness. Elsewhere the jackhammering into rubble of the so-called "Black Lives Matter" Plaza in DC is a joy to behold. And let it be a metaphor for the anti-American left in general, that have brought us to the very brink of destruction. Lest we forget that Derek Chauvin, the police officer who in the course of doing his job unfortunately had to cause the death of a career criminal who was resisting an arrest that likely would have returned him to prison for perhaps the rest of his born days, since George Floyd already was in poor health pls the swallowing of his stash of narcotics is what killed him, not the fictitious knee on his neck which the suppressed coroners report ultimately revealed.

Lots of other goodies, such as the self-gassing apostates and the Democrats rallying in support of the Columbia University Hamas terrorism and Jew-slaughter booster potentially facing deportation. And twisted harridan Randy Weingarten's head exploding with the potential shuttering of the Dept. of Education.

A measles outbreak in the Southwest? You don't say. Gotta be RFK Jr and Trump's and Musk's fault for cutting funds to Medicare! It has nothing to do with millions of unvetted third world peasant disease carriers who have invaded us for the past 4 years, right? That would be xenophobic to even hint at that.

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.

A far-left environmentalist group has launched legal action against the Trump administration and Citibank over withheld funds from a federal grant intended for climate and housing initiatives. Climate United, holding a $7 billion grant from the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, alleges it has not received the promised funds and has not been provided an explanation by either the EPA or Citibank.The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, seeks an injunction to compel Citibank to release the funds and to prevent further interference by the EPA. The suit asserts that the EPA’s actions breach the Administrative Procedure Act, describing the fund suspension as arbitrary and an abuse of discretion. Additionally, it accuses EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin of violating the Fifth Amendment’s due process clause, claiming inadequate explanations were provided for the actions taken, and asserting the decision limited Climate United’s ability to contest the decision.

According to human rights observers, Christians, Alawites, and other minorities have been targeted by Syria’s Islamist government security forces as they also clash with pro-Assad fighters in coastal enclaves. During her Senate confirmation hearing earlier this year, President Donald J. Trump‘s Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, warned that the United States’s decade-long policy of backing al-Qaeda-aligned forces against the Assad regime could embolden the Islamist fighters to carry out genocidal attacks against Syria’s Christians and other minorities once they were in power.

There is a reason voters see Democrats as the party of chaos. They align with the far-left wing of their party on issues that most Americans find insane.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky issued an apology to U.S. President Donald J. Trump following a heated exchange in the Oval Office, according to U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff. Witkoff disclosed on Monday that Zelensky had sent a letter expressing regret over the incident. Although Trump mentioned receiving a letter from Zelensky during his recent address to Congress, he did not acknowledge any apology. A spokesman for Zelensky had previously indicated that there would be no apology from the Ukrainian leader.The confrontation in the Oval Office involved Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, and Zelensky, focusing on Zelensky’s skepticism of diplomatic talks with Russia and Vladimir Putin. This encounter led to Zelensky’s abrupt departure, interrupting discussions about a mineral agreement that was pending between the two nations. As a result, U.S. intelligence sharing and military support for Ukraine were temporarily halted, a decision confirmed by CIA Director John Ratcliffe.

Abuse of discretion? Isn't any decision by these agencies at their discretion? How exactly do you abuse discretion? If anything, every decision made by the EPA over the past decades has been an abuse, but that's beside my point.

Sunlight is the best disinfectant, as we know, so in keeping with that, I'd be in favor of a new law requiring every NGO "grant" application be public and tied to specific individuals who swear to the accuracy and completeness of it.

If Open Society (Soros/Rockefeller) wants to give money to some dark Antifa organization, that grant application should be viewable on line and the individuals who get the money should be held to a legal standard.

As an expert in translating Trigger Language to something sentient humans can understand let me explain:

"It is not a criminal violation to enter the country illegally,"

Think: "Love is Love". Its not just a tautology, it is a clear example of a non-linear mind fusing two ideas using an inadequate vocabulary. (should have been "Lust is Love" or vice versa).

Words are handled not only in an Orwellian way, but to trigger emotions. In this case, "Criminal" is still a trigger word to mean "bad" (emotionally), they want to continue to frame Trump and Musk with it. They don't feel that someone here illegally is a bad person. So like "Whoopie" claiming that there is a moral difference between "Rape" and "Rape Rape", dittos with illegal and "illegal illegal" or in this case "criminal".

Its OK, the Greeks and Hebrews did it too. Once, euphemism, Twice to use a word its literal, three times its from God.

----------
Thomas Massie, who some here derided as not "pure" enough to get in line with Trump on this budget has said he will oppose the short-term government spending measure because it keeps federal funding at 2024 levels without enshrining the cuts DOGE has made.

That's it. That's all he wanted Congress, the GOP, to do. It could have been a one sentence inclusion.

So, apparently the grant monies that USAID and the rest of the NGO's were getting is right back in the "budget" just passed.

Assuming Massie is being truthful about the budget.

Tried one at Harveys recently due to having been given a $25 gift card that I could only cash out there. I was disappointed in the quality. That's on Harveys for cheaping out on ingredients and not making a good product. Poutine done correctly is absolutely amazing comfort food.

DOL? The wife works in claims, processing medical payments for Black Lung (coal miners) and Energy (people exposed to radiation from our a-bomb tests). I can give you some inside info when you need it.

As it stands, most of her people understand why they are being treated the way they are, even if it seems unfair to them. They 'get it". But leadership is not telling them anything, so anxiety is high. They've completely done away with remote work, which is screwing over some good people. Bear in mind that her co-workers aren't political,
the note elections by the changing of Mission Statement posters in the ekevatirs. Spending has been frozen for everything for 30 days, which means claimants will have interruptions in medical care. There is curiosity as to why the SES positions haven't been culled, as DOL is top heavy there and their pay is high. The most inefficient use of DOL time and money are the constant CRs from Congress. It costs more to accomplish the job in pieces with partial funding that to do it as one piece

Massie's stance isn't so much being honest as it is being torqued off there isn't more revenue from the "budget" coming to him. Whether is desire to go through the normal processes, or do what he claims with the 2024 levels and DOGE reductions is debatable.

142 Regarding Trump pardoning Derek Chauvin.

Saratoshi Nagamoto
@sowmaler
It is a terrible idea, but not for the reasons stated. The reason why it's a terrible idea is because it would not achieve anything. It would not remove him from prison. He would be still have to serve his state conviction, which is 22 years and a half, which is actually A year and a half longer than his federal sentence. Remember, he was convicted in Minnesota, where a democrat is the governor. The president does not have the authority to pardon criminals for state crimes. So, what would be the point of President Trump pardoning him? Instead, they should try to appeal this to the court. Specifically, state court. Then, if he gets pardoned for the state crimes, President Trump can think about pardoning him for the federal crimes.

155 The great question of the moment is whether the Trump Revolution is irreversible, or whether our Democrat friends will get their act together and return in clouds of glory to rule over us.

I don't know whether the Dems will make any gains in the midterms, but I am willing to bet they will take the White House in 2028.

Why, you ask? Because the average voter is an easily distracted fool. Trump and his team will get America up and running, but by '28 the Dems will have moderated their craziness enough for people to say, "Well, they learned their lesson. Let's give them another chance."

And when that happens, you'll see the Dem POTUS take a leaf out of Trump's playbook and blitz the country with a slew of EOs reversing all of his gains. And, you'll see what, sadly, Trump and his team have not yet shown the stones for - mass arrests, imprisonment without trial and midnight no-knock SWAT raids.

Agree. My experience with a "no surrender" attitude is firstly coming to terms with the very real possibility of dying, and secondly (and much more importantly) that what you're dying for IS WORTH IT.

Having your units defect or surrender is something commanders have had to account for is as old as warfare. Keeping morale up and units motivated is prob the best way to counter it. I'm not seeing that in Ukraine.

186 I'm still betting COVID killed fewer than 25K Americans overall, and purposeful mal-treatment was the real doozy.

Look up American Mortality on a websearch. I like MacroTrends for this kind of stuff, but there are of course other sites.

Fun Fact - US mortality rates, as a percentage of population, started trending up right around 2010 - after decades of dropping. Our life expectancy, for the first time in generations, began decreasing. The Covid years didn't even make a blip on the linear trend.

Best I can find, as far as a total mortality rates, is that about 200K - 250K extra Americans did indeed die of something during that span. But that number isn't anywhere close to a pandemic. We, as a country, engaged in mass psychosis. Not good.

Or is there a different term for a lesser offense? Like "infraction", or some such thing? What do they call people guilty of an infraction (if that's the word)?

I know more serious crimes, for example, are called "felonies", and the perpetrators of such things are called "felons".

245 Simply put, you're not going to get a "budget: in the normal sense. The FY has only 6 months to go and wasocked on by last year's CR rather than doing the budgetary work.

Clean CR with a .5% cut on everything. That gives you 6 months to go thru regular order for FY 2026.

Passing for the next 4 months about what took place last year is a waste of time and is nothing but grandstanding.

Posted by: rhennigantx at March 11, 2025 09:00 AM (gbOdA)

Good question. But everything was so screwed up back then, it could be a lot of things. We were having our fake medical crisis, so they shut down a lot of the medical facilities, which probably created an actual medical crisis, for example.

Dr Zelenko outlined how the protocol they had for COVID-19 (which you would be diagnosed even if you had the flu, or sometimes even if you weren't sick) was clearly meant to try to kill you. You were supposed to stay home, untreated, until you were so sick you needed a hospital. There they put you on a drug that would likely kill you half the time. If that didn't kill you they put you on a ventilator. You wouldn't know it from all the hype back then, but you chance of surviving a ventilator was about 10%. It was more likely to kill you than save you.

We had a draft in Vietnam. Unfairly implemented, lot of people DIDN'T get "straightened out".

Compulsory service can work... maybe... for small, relatively homogenous countries (S. Korea, Israel), particularly if they're under threat. Doing it in the US would be a colossal waste of money and the military would be worse off for it. There's a reason the brass always starts screaming NOOOOOOO every time some politician starts talking up a draft.

304 Trump Admin Just Outfoxed the Judge Trying to Block Pro-Hamas Leader's Deportation

Here's where things get interesting, though, because it appears the Trump administration may have outfoxed the judge in this case. According to reports, Khalil was moved to an ICE detention center in Louisiana. Why is that important? Because while Furman issued his order based on Khalil's New York petition for habeas corpus (i.e., that he be released pending further litigation), the law requires that the petition be filed in the federal court district the subject is being held in. If Khalil isn't in New York anymore, and it seems fairly certain he isn't, then Furman has no jurisdiction over the case.

The lying asshole is blaming Soros. It doesn't matter what, when, where, why, or how, there are those who will ALWAYS find a Jew to blame.

It is becoming dangerous for many people, but Jews are also in danger in this country. Few care, though. What I mainly see are platitudes and crocodile tears. Anti-Semitism: the political gateway drug of choice.

Israel is the real victim here. Sad to hear that he died but live by the sword, die by the sword. I am sorry for his family and the damage it has caused the Jewish community.

Jones literally has no soul. He baits and provokes the parents of murdered children just to generate controversy. refuses to pay them when brought to justice in civil court. I'd tell him to go to hell, but it sounds like that's his homeland.

This is a false flag operation and Jones is a crisis actor. Don’t believe what the so-called “real” news tells you about this.

Tots and pears.

318 How has the mass import of the world's detritus for the last 30 years impacted our health indices?

If that "Deaths per 1000" ratio is any indicator (assuming I can correctly quote it) the results are not good. For sixty years, like clockwork, we slowly yet surely went from 10 deaths every 1000 to 8 from 1950 to 2010. In the ten years since. Up from 8 to 9.

I'm sure part of it is Silents and Boomers dying, since we simply don't reproduce anywhere like they did. But part of it has to be illegals coming here and dying as well.

332 "I know there are some decent, normal ones out there, but"

Maybe the LGBs but every Trans I've encountered (maybe 50?) has been a drama queen. Every criticism is transphobic. And the weirdest part - they ALL have the exact same blind spot. They will deny you the very rights they are demanding for themselves, often in the same breath. Like calling you Cis while demanding you use their preferred pronouns. It's like the Hypocrisy Sensor in the brain is in the same spot that gender dysphoria affects

Human Nature. Judges don't pursue Judgeships just to sit there and not swing the gavel. Just like Congressmen never look at a problem and think "nothing to do here, it'll work itself out". Safety Guys never think "nope, we've got plenty rules already". Cops rarely elect to mind their own business and let the people figure it out on their own.

Yeah! We want everything fried to death, instead, and then covered in a gloopy cream sauce containing a few tiny flecks of some meat of dubious provenance!

And then a glass of cane sugar with two drops of horrid, cold, overextracted tea dropped in to wash it down!

Don't forget the stick of butter on the side. It's not a meal without the stick of butter on the side.

Thanks for saying that. I always thought the "acknowledge their pain" step was irrelevant but I needed to hear it. This has been killing me, I'm not ashamed to admit I've cried myself to sleep several nights. I don't blame Hoyt, she didn't betray me, my own people at Instapundit did. Maybe I was naive. Or maybe Instapundit is an outlier. I'm going take it to Twitter and find out.

And the ones who trolled a Marine asking for help to go kill himself - I'm going to hire some hackers and trace their IPs back to their household, get their address, meet them in person. I have a darkness, I'm going to take the leash off
