The Morning Report — 4/ 17 /25

JamesRains.jpg

Good morning kids. As you peruse the links, you'll note so many "shocking" headlines that you'll pull a Claude Rains inspector Renault face. Sadly without collecting any winnings from the roulette wheel. Meh, another day ending in "Y."

For example,

The suspect behind an arson attack on the headquarters building of the New Mexico Republican Party and the firebombing of a New Mexico Tesla dealership has been revealed to be an Antifa supporter.


And then we have,


Isra Hirsi, the daughter of "Squad" member Rep. Ilhan (Bro-Fo) Omar (D., Minn.), promoted a fundraiser supporting Mohsen Mahdawi, the Columbia University student activist facing deportation over his support for Hamas.

She's her daughter, she's her niece, she's her daughter and her niece! Meh, forget it, it's Chinatown.

And speaking of immigration fraudsters it turns out the violent bestial criminal illegal alien from El Salvador who must be returned to America or else it'll be the worst stain on our history since 9/11, the Civil War and January 6 combined, is indeed a violent bestial criminal illegal alien:

Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin revealed on Wednesday that deported illegal alien and alleged MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia was with two other MS-13 members when he was arrested in 2019, and was found to have  “rolls of cash and drugs” on him. Garcia crossed the border into the United States illegally in 2012 and when he was arrested in 2019, claimed he had to flee El Salvador as a teenager to escape gang violence.


Of course ancient alta cocker communist Bernie Sanders flying all over the place on private jets is no big deal. He is after all using other people's money, so that's not shocking in the least. Ditto Letitia James, the Lavrenty Beria of Tomas Torquemadas, who persecutes innocent people for crimes, real and mostly imagined that she herself is guilty of.

New York’s Democrat Attorney General, Letitia James, is launching a new lawfare campaign against President Donald J. Trump, insinuating potential insider trading instances linked to the White House’s recent pause of reciprocal tariffs. Confirmed to be underway on April 16, the New York AG’s inquiry purports to determine whether Trump or his associates had prior knowledge of the tariff actions, which preceded a significant upturn in the stock market. However, there is mounting speculation that James’s investigation of Trump is meant to distract from her own criminal referral to the Department of Justice (DOJ) over allegations of mortgage fraud.President Trump’s announcement of the tariff pause, to allow bilateral trade negotiations with over 70 nations to take place, was preceded just hours before by two posts on Truth Social where the America First leader stated, “BE COOL! Everything is going to work out well. The USA will be bigger and better than ever before” and “THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!! DJT.” The subsequent surge in the financial markets—with several trades logged just before the pause was announced—make up the core of the newest allegations underpinning the lawfare effort.

So, she is under a huge cloud of suspicion for both mortgage fraud and that she claims her primary residence is in Virginia while serving as NY State's AG? Nothing to see here, right folks? But President Trump performing his duties as President in directing national foreign and economic policy and boom, the fake charges go flying.

Funny how scum and vermin like Harry Reid and Malig-Nancy Pelosi start their political careers with net worths of maybe a few hundred thousand dollars and either die or retire worth multiple tens of millions, yet not a peep from anyone about that. Again, not shocking at all.


Moving away from the shockng/not shocking theme, and Speaking of the 9/11 attack,

Al Qaeda boss and 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden spent months living and receiving treatment in Iran, according to a bombshell interview on the Tucker Carlson Show this week. Carlson sat down with former Pennsylvania congressman Curt Weldon (R.), who made the revelations, and also said that nosing around about the issue played a role in his being run out of Congress.

While Iran's involvement had been suspected, if not actually proven, from day one, not to mention the obvious but diplomatically toxic connection to the Saudis, the focus of our attention was Afghanistan and Iraq, and the rest as they say is history.

Considering President Trump's discussions, via his envoy Steve Witkoff, with the Mullahs, as well as Trump's increasingly loud and tough talk vis a vis both their race towards getting the bomb as well as their alliance with Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis, this interview raises an eyebrow.

As CBD and I discussed on the latest episode of the podcast (linked here and in the sidebar)

Iran cannot be allowed to acquire nukes for they will no doubt use them against Israel, Western targets and if they could deploy them, against the American mainland itself. That said, getting into a shooting war with them involving American forces is far and away the least desirable option for a whole host of reasons. Blockades and other moves against their infrastructure to say nothing of military action a la the Gulf Wars would only serve to alienate the very put upon Persian people we want and need to do the job of overthrowing the Mullahs, or otherwise assisting in that ultimate result.

And the last thing we need is like what happened in Syria and Afghanistan is to have an even more dark age Islamic totalitarian theocracy than we had since 1979, this time with a populace pissed off at the West and unwilling or unable to liberate itself.

I'd like to think that this whole Witkoff gambit is just some sort of a misdirection play on the part of the President. I would think he knows that it's long past time for the Mullahs to go. My concern is how he intends to pull it off. Despite Marco Rubio's presence, Foggy Bottom and the intelligence and military bureaucracies are still infested with Deep State holdovers and saboteurs who are steeped in anti-American, anti-Israel and anti-western animus yet are charged with developing the tactics and strategies to implement the very policies that they themselves have been working against their entire professional careers.

Obviously, this can be applied to every agency, department and bureau in DC.

Moving on . . . yesterday or the day before there was a report that millions of dollars (and it has got to be a hell of a lot more than that figure) in social security and other benefits were to be reinstated to illegal aliens. While at the same time Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants was wheeled out to shriek out the tired old bromide about Republicans destroying Social Security.

All of this makes my blood boil, over and above its inherent outrageousness, but because it hits too close to home. Someone very close to me has found it impossible to sign up for let alone collect social security as well as sign up for medicare (because of a suspected identity theft that occurred a number of years ago). And yet foreigners here illegally can get all sorts of assistance to get our hard-earned money while bureaucrats and apparatchiks send my dear one on a paper chase for years hoping we die before they are forced to intercede.


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.

    I don’t normally criticize Trump but I really believe that negotiating with Iran is a big mistake. Even if they make a deal the mullahs will never ever keep their end of the bargain. They’re cheats and liars period.

    I agree obviously with Trump’s aim that they can’t get a nuke. But the way to do that is crush their economy with sanctions and at the same time covertly give Israel any and all support needed for military strikes to destroy their nuke infrastructure

    No deal because any deal will be worthless

    29 Is Real ID a national security tool or a trojan horse for tyranny?

    This is asinine. Everyone who would acquire a RealID already has a government issued ID and pretending that the government doesn't know you exist is stupid.

    The problem with RealID is that it presupposes that the state doing the issuing won't give one to non-citizens, or will somehow designate that they're non-citizens but we know they won't.

    As noted above, Marco Rubio moved yesterday to remove the final remains of what was the Global Engagement Center. This was the State Dept. agency that was at the center of the whole of government censorship program that was at the core designed to help implement a far left ideology in the US while censoring and punishing any voices that detract.

    But that was only a part of the program. The reason for the Biden admin to institute a policy of open borders and flood the country with illegals was bring in millions of new Democrat voters while further degrading local law and order and strengthening the federal government. The goal was permanent globalist rule.

    The IC was definitely a part of the massive and well organized plan to assist this transformation. There is no way all of this could have happened without them being complicit.

    Confirmed.

    While in line to get my own "Real ID" there was a gaggle of illegals waiting to get their own. Each one had pre-printed application forms including the required forms from the person's embassy.

    Unlike American citizens who have to provide two dozen forms of ID, a birth certificate, passport, utility bills, tax returns, etc.

    And they get their own DMV rep who speaks "the language."

    We The People are strangers in our own land that has been given over (by previous generations) to the Party, and the Party is a hostile occupying enemy force.

    96 I would still like to know how many taxpayers have to use a PIN to file their federal taxes because of SS# theft by illegals. I'm betting it's over 50%

    In some ways its a good thing that the illegals have pretty much ruined the applicability of SSNs as an ID., particularly since the early paper cards literally had written on the back "Not To Be Used For Identification".

    As we perfect the transformation of high a high trust society into the historical norm of a low trust society, we are going to have to abandon simple numbers and replace it with multi-factor-authentication (MFA). We do it now for financial transaction and anything that requires even the lowest level of security.

    I think it was about the ballots those illegals were getting. Legit ballots. Ballots that someone else was filling out "on their behalf."

    Voting in person has some risk for illegals... a small one but a risk nonetheless. Mail-in is a whole 'nother matter and one that the left has co-opted in whole. All they needed were legit ballots to seal the steal. It's an ongoing process because they learned from 2020 that just printing up ballots has some issues if people actually look into it.

    139 President Donald J. Trump has unveiled an initiative to reform the Federal procurement system, significantly altering the rules surrounding government purchasing. Every year, a large portion of government waste is abetted by current procurement rules, which total over 2,000 pages and nearly 3,000 directives. These rules make it difficult for vendors to navigate and allow loopholes that can cause taxpayer dollars to be squandered.
    ______

    Pretty sure this same procurement process is being forced onto banks by regulators. There's been a huge increase in vendor scrutiny and hoop jumping. Including requiring reporting on ESG efforts of the vendor. Bank regulators need to be reined in bigly.

    164 It wasn't nosing around OBL in Iran that got the deep state after him.

    It was the rumors they didn't kill OBL, they merely killed someone in that house and claimed it was OBL.
    It's long been rumored that OBL traveled regularly b/w Afg and Iran; that we knew it at the time; and he had body doubles.

    Cover up:
    1) No body was kept; dumped at sea and lied that such was "Islamic"
    2) no photos of the body released
    3) no DNA taken
    4) lots of the assault team there have "died"

    10 years ago, I would have called that a crazy conspiracy.
    Now, I rate it as 80% true:
    Obama corrupted the IC far, far beyond what we even guessed, that's why.

    Gallego's father was a cartel member if I recall correctly. And yes, I think that is why the McCain faction of the GOP opposed closing the border--they were skimming cartel money by providing the financing, real estate, and other enabling for the money laundering from sex and drug trafficking. Flake admitted his family farm employed illegals so some of the big agri and construction firms also wanted a steady supply of illegals.

    GA has a similar problem except there it is ATL airport and Chinese imports to Savannah Harbor at play. ATL is a regional hub for drugs, sex trafficking, and human trafficking throughout the SE by means of the airport and interstate hub position.

    Because the military is strange, I had advanced training at an Army base despite being Air Force. The base was also a basic training base for the Army at the time (Ft. Lost in the Woods).

    Saw (heard in one case) at least two Army recruits break. One, I overheard calling his recruiter at the base hospital pay phones. The second, I was alone on a bench enjoying being away from uniforms for awhile, and the MPs came up and asked me if I saw a soldier who went AWOL at the rifle range and still had his AR-15 with him. They were searching the whole base for the dude.

    Also had a K-12 friend that came home broken after his attempt at the US Army failed in basic training. Guy never recovered and died early from complications of drinking and diabetes.

    Yes and no. Under the right conditions, almost everyone can break and even the military has had to replace DI's or TI's for purposefully harassing people. It is very possible that some of those that break in basic would also break in combat but as with most human affairs--crystal balls for prediction are cracked and cloudy.

    - boring
    - geared towards little girls
    - hostile
    or any other factors you can think of. My grandson was "diagnosed" with ADHD and at 18 is still taking meds for it that I personally think he doesn't need. It's created a borderline functioning adult.

    I think Navy boot camp was probably pretty tame compared with Marine boot camp or Army basic training. Squids don't go into direct combat. We only went to a firing range once in boot camp.

    The question is, what does "sole credit" mean or imply. O'Neill very clearly and in detail describes and credits the team involved (especially crediting the female CIA operative who organized it all) and that he was merely a member who was in a position to shoot bin Laden. He shot him, because he did, and that's the fact. But the larger operation and how and why he was even in that position was the work of others, and he acknowledges this.

    The question is, what does "sole credit" mean or imply. O'Neill very clearly and in detail describes and credits the team involved (especially crediting the female CIA operative who organized it all) and that he was merely a member who was in a position to shoot bin Laden. He shot him, because he did, and that's the fact. But the larger operation and how and why he was even in that position was the work of others, and he acknowledges this.

    I'd forgotten about the book tour guy, but I stand by my initial impression that he keeps on predictably giving.

    286 For the first time in human history, the left is demanding the treatment of a mental condition by catering to said condition and celebrating it.

    The weirdest thing that Humphrey Bogart did
    He had the strangest notion
    To make a movie in the ocean
    With that famous line, "Here's looking at you, squid!"

    I was there for a joint military training program. So I observed that the Army had not changed in its approach to people skills. (Father was a colonel in the Army-Ordnance and we saw a lot of bases).

    Bases were shittier too than Air Force facilities back then and housing on base was absolutely awful compared with other branches. Dunno about now.

    290 Yes and no. Under the right conditions, almost everyone can break and even the military has had to replace DI's or TI's for purposefully harassing people. It is very possible that some of those that break in basic would also break in combat but as with most human affairs--crystal balls for prediction are cracked and cloudy.

    We were being trained for combat in Vietnam. Plain and simple. Training was very tough, 24/7, and very psychological. Today is a different story. Back then, the "on your ass" sergeant WAS on your ass the minute you stepped off the bus. No let up at all. And it was constant. At the end, after the graduation exercise, he was a different guy. My DI was an Airborne Ranger. Crazy, but he had a mission, and by the end of the three months, most of us understood. Luckily, I didn't wind up 11B10. Was assigned to the Signal Corp. I had an electronics background and lucked out.

    291 This is asinine. Everyone who would acquire a RealID already has a government issued ID and pretending that the government doesn't know you exist is stupid.

    The problem with RealID is that it presupposes that the state doing the issuing won't give one to non-citizens, or will somehow designate that they're non-citizens but we know they won't.

    Had to repost this. Josie the a red Headed Libertarian (and many others) were going insane over this issue on twitter. No one answers me much in twitter, but she got really anoyed when I told her…

    “That horse is out of the barn, across the field, deep into the forest, and about to jump off a cliff into a river… “ The govt knows everything about us. I had to do my sick brothers taxes last year (God rest his soul) and didn’t have the information. No problem! Said the HR Block dude. IRS had EVERYTHING.

    And it’s been 20 years and they are freaking out now? After we know the govt is tracking our phones and maybe transcribing it?

    Asinine indeed!

    293 The scientists posit a number of theories to explain this spiral galaxy, none of which have much merit at this time because so little data exists from that time period. That only one such spiral galaxy is presently known does not mean such galaxies were rare at that time. It merely means our census of galaxy populations in the early universe remains woefully incomplete.

    ----

    timescape theory predicts this

    the galaxy is probably a few billion years old, not a few hundred million

    timescape says observers in voids experience ~30% faster passage of time

    the upshot is that our distance/time measurements based on the flat FLRW equations need to be adjust for inhomogeneities

    these adjustments were small enough in the pre-Webb era that they could not be distinguished from LCDM

    the PANTHEON database provided a pretty good fit to timescape predictions... the Euclid results are sufficient to either rule it out or make timescape the new standard model, hopefully within the next year or so

    294 Good morning, all, and thank you, J.J.

    Real ID is a problem in certain states and to certain "classes" of citizens, primarily (but not exclusively to) formerly wed and/or divorced women of many years ago.

    PAHomePage dot com, a week ago: 'Obtaining Real IDs proving to be a real pain for some Pennsylvanians'

    However, OTOH I've watched divorced and/or remarried acquaintances saunter into the PA DMV, admit to none of it, and be approved for the Real ID. But for those women experiencing problems, no, no one cares if all other IDs & documents match their current, decades old names because if they're targeted, they're targeted. Period. So many must need to be turned away or redirected to sites many miles away. (BTW, registered Democratic women certainly appeared to have easier than those registered Republican or Independent. Yes, the DMV knows as it helps register voters.)

    Also, who trusts the DMV 'customer faced' employees with their birth certificates, divorce decrees, etc. when ID & social security frauds are rampant AND there are also many "new" immigrants at the sites for the purpose of getting state ID cards from the same 'customer faced' employees?

    'Black-market groups on Facebook are reportedly selling Uber and DoorDash accounts that let people bypass background checks and driver’s license provisions'
    BY Chris Morris, April 15, 2025

    (The article is available in audio.)

    In part, "A new report says Facebook is riddled with groups that allow people to buy or rent Driver accounts for ride-share services and delivery services. This could present safety issues for customers. The Tech Transparency Project says it found 80 groups with up to 800,000 members. Facebook said it is reviewing the report and will remove any content that violates its policies."

    No USDOL mention? What agency provided the visas for those 300-400 people?

    Why the great surprise. Decades ago, Chinese vegetable farms, paint shops, etc. were subject to Wage & Hour & other state & federal agency "raids" in the tri-state area for 'employees' who rowed in from off shore illegally.

    296 Mostly they "resided" in the back of truck trailers or in cellars of rental properties.

    What beat that was seeing entire Latino, Hispanic families living inside horse stables in seasonal, state ran horse-racing tracks. (Adults who followed the circuit to clean stables, etc. & brought their young children.) Heartbreaking.

    297 "Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has announced a “series of new studies to identify precisely what the environmental toxins” responsible for autism are."

    That ain't a scientific approach, like climate change it simply assumes the cause is known. His proposal assumes that autism is caused by environmental toxins. We don't know that.

    Perhaps the increase in autism is due to the fact woman are having children, particularly their first child, much later in life than in previous generations.

    298 I can't believe y'all mentioned support for a VAT on your latest podcast sea 9 ep 15. A VAT is an evil hidden tax, even more hidden than the current withholding on payroll. The Fair Tax is a national sales tax with multiple benefits:
    1 you SEE how much the government takes from you every time you buy
    2 it is a consumption tax, buy more pay more
    3 encourages saving, don't buy don't pay
    4 the prebate gives money to those under the poverty level to reimburse form the tax on basic needs
    5 illegal aliens will pay the tax when they buy even if they were paid in cash
    6 illegal aliens won't get a prebate so they actually pay more
    7 if the prebate is not enough for the Marxists, certain classes could be exempt; such as medicine, food, etc.
