The Morning Report — 6/ 27 /25

Good morning kids. As CBD and I discussed/lamented on the latest episode of the podcast ((here and in the sidebar as well as the usual outlets listed at the bottom of this post) New York the most Jewish city on the planet outside the state of Israel has chosen a bust out rabid Muslim Socialist to be the Democrat nominee for mayor. Of course, Jewish in this case is defined by lineage and not by attitude, mindset and/or lifestyle. Even though this was only the primary which I suppose makes people even more lazy and apathetic than usual, Daniel Greenfield notes

I said the results either reflected low turnout or tinkering. Probably both.
Well the low turnout has been confirmed. Less than 30% of Democrats voted in the party’s mayoral primary. Of those 43% supposedly voted for Mamdani. (Ranked choice voting also makes this whole thing more complicated, but I’m keeping it simple.)
As I note in my upcoming article, “56% of registered voters in the city are Democrats so some 7.2% of city residents voted for him. New York City has a population of 8.2 million. Of those 432,305 or 5% voted for Mamdani.”
You can go with the 7% figure which represents voters, but either way this is far from the massive sweep of the city that the media is hyping.
Most New Yorkers didn’t vote for Mamdani. Even most Democrats stayed home.

So assuming there was tinkering with the results, and being New York you can bet Rachel Levine's balls to the doors of Evin Prison that there was tinkering, What does this say about the leadership of the local and for sure national Democrat Party if this is who they want as the candidate. If the across the board visceral revulsion at the wave of anti-Semitism in NYC and the nation in the wake of the 10/7 pogrom in Israel as well as the general revulsion over the illegal immigration crisis and other Leftist criminality, dissolution and perversion being forced down everyone's throats, or at the least the overt promoting of it all by leading politicians is supposedly frightening Democrat leadership and pundits, then how in the hell does one account for this Mamdani cancer? Sure, Cuomo and Adams might have had all sorts of baggage but, they still would've and did have that all important "D" designator after their names Adams now running indy. I don't think even a Curtis Sliwa or whoever could've overcome that in the general.

So, if the Democrats are all supposedly running scared from Mamdani, then what of this miserable degenerate shitstain Mark Pocan:

To paraphrase the late Freedom Center founder David Horowitz: scratch a tolerant, inclusive, compassionate “liberal” and just underneath the surface you’ll find a raging, totalitarian racist and antisemite. Wisconsin Democrat Congressman Marc Pocan is the latest example of this ugly truth. On Wednesday, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller tweeted in regard to New York City Democrats embracing Muslim socialist Zohran Mamdani, a Ugandan immigrant, as the city’s mayoral candidate: “NYC is the clearest warning yet of what happens to a society when it fails to control migration.” In response to Miller’s suggestion that America needs to quit importing people who are actively seeking to undermine our nation and civilization, Rep. Pocan, 60, tweeted this intemperate message: “Racist fuck. Go back to 1930’s Germany.”

Pocan represents the communist shithole of Madison WI, sadly only an hour or so upwind of where I am. God bless Stephen Miller but when he tweeted about "the clearest warning yet of what happens to a society when it fails to control migration.” He was about 80-90 years too late. Like the taqqiya sunrisers including Mamdani and Bro-Fo Omar who come here to undermine us from within, the Soviets and now the Chi-Coms have been and are doing the same thing for decades. When two to three generations of Americans are taught to hate their birthright, their parents, their wonderful nation, its heritage and ultimately themselves, that is how police, ICE agents and Jewish students get molotov cocktails hurled at them. And ultimately how normal people are arrested for merely praying in front of Abortion abbatoirs, speaking their minds at school board meetings, or showing up in DC to protest a stolen election only to be entrapped in a manufactured sting operation staged by Pelosi and the FBI.

And speaking of corrupt, amoral evil tyranny parading around in the moldering skin-suit of Lady Liberty and demanding respect:

Per a report at Fox News, township officials in the unincorporated community of Cranbury, NJ are in the process of seizing a historic family farm that has been under the family’s ownership for 175 years—that means since 1850—because they want to use it for a welfare housing project.
Benji Farraro reports that in April, Andy and Christopher Henry, the two brothers who currently own the farm, received a letter that informed them that Cranbury would be seizing all 21 acres, but government officials have now decided that they’ll make do with just half of the farm, and benevolently leave the house for the Henry family—now the Henry family gets to be neighbors with the third world foreigners who will no doubt be taking up residence in the “affordable housing” units built on Henry land! (Kind of reminds of when Abraham Lincoln spitefully directed the federal government to seize land that belonged to Mary Custis Lee as retribution for her husband’s allegiance to country over the Union, citing a “tax” dispute.)
The only thing I found surprising was that one of the owners of the farm was “shocked” that the government would operate in such an evil way:

I guess they never heard of the KELO decision either! (Burn in hell, John Paul Stevens)

So while the Democrats are falling all over themselves to defend and even directly organize LA gangbangers to attack ICE and police to prevent the arrest and deportation of illegal aliens, What do you suppose the reaction would be if the Henry brothers and their friends and neighbors were to attack US marshals or other law enforcement officers with deadly force to prevent the seizure of their land. To ask that question is to answer it.

And on the other side of the world:

On Christmas Day in 1989, the people of Romania held a long-awaited ceremony that was more joyous than any Nativity had been in decades. They held a spontaneous trial of President Nicolae Ceaușescu and his wife Elena, found them guilty of capital crimes against the Romanian people, and sentenced them to death. There was no shortage of volunteers for the firing squad, and those lucky enough to be chosen didn’t wait for the order to fire: they riddled the Ceaușescu’s bodies with more than one hundred bullets.
The story of how the dictatorial couple met their end has important lessons for those wondering about the fate of today’s Iranian Islamic Revolutionary government. What caused the Ceaușescu regime to collapse and how did the people overcome the power of the dictatorship?

Thankfully, yet despite Donald Trump once again being in charge, I was kind of hoping that the Democrat/globalist/Deep State cabal would be totally vanquished, preferably not via the Ceaucescu route – though it is plain to see, despite the Claude Rains reaction by those poor New Jersey farmers, that those in power have no compunction about going that route to preserve protect and defend their hold on power over us to make it as absolute and permanent as possible.

Capping it all off is this howler from as repulsive and despicable a purple-helmeted fire alarm puller as you'll find.

The reason why heart disease and cancer and obesity and diabetes are bigger in the black community is because of the stress we carry from having to deal with being called the n-word - directly or indirectly - every day," Bowman yelled at a white Republican on the panel.

For decades now, Black culture – so-called – has made that word as commonly spoken among blacks as "gesundheit" among the general populace. Not only is it commonly spoken but among blacks it's supposedly an honorific. Woe-betide comedian Michael Richards who you may recall committed career suicide by daring to rattle off the word like machine-gun fire. Of course his career was destroyed by either intentionally or perhaps accidentally pointing out the hypocrisy of using the word, inartfully to be sure to make a point but worse to commit the most heinous crime against humanity of using the word while being white.

Of course Stephen Miller is at no risk of heart disease, obesity, cancer or diabetes for being told to go back to Nazi Germany to be gassed or shot into a mass grave. And Jews who commit the heinous crime of defending Israel or even being seen in public are at no risk of being beaten, raped, stabbed or immolated to death on the streets or campuses of New York, eh Jamal?!

I'd ululate and pass out candy if Bowman et al were Ciao-Ciao Ceaucescue'd away for good.

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!

The letter, dated June 26, 2025, accuses Mamdani of having possibly obtained his U.S. citizenship through “willful misrepresentation or concealment of material support for terrorism.”Citing a June 21 New York Post article, Ogles noted Mamdani, who was born in Uganda, has rapped lyrics praising the Holy Land Foundation—an organization convicted in 2008 for providing material support to Hamas, a designated terrorist group. Mamdani had rapped, “Free the Holy Land Five / My guys,” which Ogles says raises serious concerns about sympathies that should have been disclosed during Mamdani’s naturalization process.

--------
If it actually is who the Democrats want, he's mayor... hands down. But is he?

The Democrats never install anyone they disapprove of in office. The entire party is in lockstep, nationally as well as locally. The outliers are the ones that go even further left. So, if the Party wants the Muslim to be mayor, he's going to be mayor. If not, he won't.

Might be an interesting look into NYC political machinations regardless of the predicted fraud to see how it all unfolds.

25 I heard that Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei recently emerged from his bunker, where he had been hiding out, incommunicado, for days. He fear that if he used a communication device that he could be located and targeted.

That has led some to ask "Who's been running the country?" with the corollary, "Who negotiated with Trump?"

When Trump came out with his cease-fire deal, maybe I was the only one who thought it sounded like there had been no negotiating whatsoever - Trump was just being diplomatic.

What Trump was really doing was "laying down the law". Iran HAD TO agree to the cease-fire because they were getting their asses kicked. Israel had to agree because Trump saved their asses, and depend on the US for things.

The only response I remember from Iran was some bratty Iranian official saying something like "You're not the boss of me". The Israelis were in radio silence. So there's no report whatsoever of neither Iran nor Israel actually negotiating with Iran. It's "The Fifth Element" style negotiating.

32 It is important to note Breitbart News reported on Thursday that, “The parliamentarian also struck down provisions that would bar the use of Medicaid funds for transgender healthcare services and to prevent illegal aliens from receiving Medicaid or CHIP healthcare coverage.”

“However, it remains possible that Senate Republicans could change the language of the Medicaid provider tax to be eligible in the Big Beautiful Bill,” the article stated.

So the Senate could rejigger things to save the tax but not the prohibition on tranny bullshit or illegals getting benefits. Sounds about like what we've come to expect.

37 It didn't make sense to me to have a cease-fire, because with the regime still in place, all that was achieved could be undone with a few years.

So all I can figure is that Trump figured he couldn't bomb the Ayatollah out of power, and if he could and did, it would not go well for us - regime change HAS to look like its of for and by the people of Iran.

I like to think that there is a plan in the works to coax the people of Iran into just that - regime change. Trump distanced himself from it by saying he was against it, because it would undoubtedly cause a lot of violence and destruction, but he is probably behind it if it happens. They say the regime is quite fragile right now, so NOW is the time!

You prepare the battlefield, gather your legal advice and estimable legal support (from inside and outside the WH), select the case, address the nation, and move forward with confidence.

During the Revolutionary War: one-third Tories, one-third Patriots, one-third Apathetic. (or so the narrative says)

I drive through towns and cities: one-third trash their homes and communities, one-third take care of their home and communities, and one-third don't care at all and won't lift a finger to stop the rot and decay.

The ratio varies, like where I live maybe 5% actively care about their homes and the HOA, 5% are corrupt as hell and are looting the place, and 90% can't be bothered. Out of that 90%, half will lie and say they care, but actions vs words.

Most Republicans would support defying the courts - at least on the immigration issue. Pretty much all Democrats would oppose. All that is expected so the outcome hinges on independents. Pretty much all polling to date shows that independents are opposed, at this time, to Trump defying the courts.

Ah, but polls lie, so how do we know the truth? Obviously by watching the protests (not) happening around the country on the matter.

UPDATE: 3 Teens Face Felony Charges — Over Ripping a Pride Flag

In Atlanta, three teenagers have been arrested after allegedly tearing down a rainbow Pride flag. Authorities have charged them with:
• Obstruction
• Criminal damage to property
• Conspiracy
• Prowling

But it doesn’t stop there.

They’re also being investigated for possible hate crime charges, which could elevate the case to a felony — carrying a sentence of over 10 YEARS in prison if convicted.

Critics are calling it excessive.
Supporters say it’s about protecting communities from targeted acts.

Is tearing down a flag now a decade-long offense?

90 Regarding Cranbury NJ, what they aren't telling you is the main reason why they want to take over the farm. The farm has a "farmland tax exemption". It pays a nominal tax rate of a couple of thousand dollars a year. If they build 500 or so units on this property, low income or not, the tax revenue will soar. 500 units X $5000/yr is $2,500,000 at a minimum and will grow each year. That could be a low estimate for Cranbury. That's the real reason. Too much money sitting there for the Democrats not to try and rake in. Graft is based on cash flow. Higher the flow, higher the graft.

I'm a "one man, one vote" kind of guy myself.

Not a "one man, a fraction of a vote" or a "one man, more than one vote" kind of guy, which is what RCV amounts to. *PLUS* it makes it opaque to the point that it cannot be determined who actually won, so you have to take their word for it. The people who came up with RCV looked at the BCS system for college football and said, "that's too clear and comprehensible."

RCV aside, I'm also not a "dead man, one vote" kind of guy. Or a "fictional man, one vote" kind, either.

130 90 Regarding Cranbury NJ, what they aren't telling you is the main reason why they want to take over the farm. The farm has a "farmland tax exemption". It pays a nominal tax rate of a couple of thousand dollars a year. If they build 500 or so units on this property, low income or not, the tax revenue will soar. 500 units X $5000/yr is $2,500,000 at a minimum and will grow each year. That could be a low estimate for Cranbury. That's the real reason. Too much money sitting there for the Democrats not to try and rake in. Graft is based on cash flow. Higher the flow, higher the graft.

Miller was a protege of David Horowitz as a student at Santa Monica High School. Miller, at the time, challenged the leftist faculty over a free speech issue. He went on to organize Horowitz's "Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week" at Duke University. I don't believe he has a law degree.

If he does it, he probably loses 5-10 GOP Senators on the OBBB completely.

He's managing his caucus at the same time as trying to get the bill through.

So, rewriting the language slightly to do the same thing and get it past her is the first attempt.

The actual nuclear option won't be firing her, though, it's getting Vance to show up as presiding officer. The Parliamentarian is a creation of the Senate's rules because, otherwise, the VP would have to be in the chamber making these decisions himself. So, Vance can overrule her pretty much with just a word.

Firing her, however, delays things because they have to hire someone else to do the job.

So, attempt a rewrite. If that doesn't work, bring in Vance.

New infrastructure: roads, sewer, power, potable water, landscaping; along with the attendant new offices, sinecures and perpetual buildings (treatment plant, schools, etc) mean mountains of opportunities of graft, corruption, scandal, etc.

It's possible that SCOTUS has done little to slap down lower courts, except in the most egregious of circumstances over the past few months, because SCOTUS decided a few months back to slap down the entire lower courts' powers.

ActBlue is 100% fraud.
------
I think that once you commit to having your credit card used for donations ActBlue will charge, and recharge fairly minor amounts to it. But they do it several times a week. This times the millions of people donating adds up.

It's a really effective fraud device because the money comes from literally "everywhere" all the time. Every day.

In part. There was also just the whole "we turned off verification" piece of it.

But the straw donors thing is real, as Veritas exposed fairly well. It would shock me if the GOP doesn't do it, too.

The only thing more valuable to the Party than a billionaire mega-donor is the old lady who donates $5 every now and again. She becomes the paper face of someone else's laundered money and is none the wiser.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) — U.S. Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) is introducing legislation in the House of Representatives to forbid the abortion industry from dumping fetal remains into public water systems, following Liberty Counsel Action’s release of a report detailing the overlooked issue.

The Daily Wire reports that Gill’s Respectful Treatment of Unborn Remains Act would make it a crime to dispose of fetal remains in publicly-owned water systems at the federal, state, and local level, punishable by a fine and/or up to five years in jail. Sen. Jim Banks (R-IN) intends to introduce a companion version in the Senate.

204 "If Trump Doesn’t Reject Judicial Supremacism, His Presidency Is Finished"

I've written this before - Article II gives the President zero immediate check and balance on the Article III judiciary. Article I gives Congress zero immediate check and balance on the Article III judiciary.

The checks and balances the President and Congress do have are weak. If judges are impeached and removed, or die/resign, replacements are not guaranteed to do exactly what the President and Congress want them to do. Expanding SCOTUS and adding lower courts are no absolute guarantees of rulings to the taste of a given President and Congress. Further, the custom of stare decisis means a ruling by SCOTUS or lower courts may stand forever. By decision of an Article III court. A new law written to get around an Article III court's ruling may be declared unconstitutional by SCOTUS.

The Democrats have long exploited these holes in the checks and balances fabric to rule the nation. Not govern. Rule.

I have no idea how fully to remedy these checks and balances holes. Other than amending the Constitution.

The car market is all kinds of messed up. 5-6 years ago car prices were seriously inflated and banks were tightening up car loans. Even now we see the effects. Practically speaking, if you bought a car from a dealership or a used car lot then in the here and now people are going to be upside down even more than usual.

258 "Our Democracy" == "Our technocratic ideal"
_____

Commencement speaker at State University spoke about how the graduates should protect and support democracy. Then he rattled off 'democratic' institutions that they should support - federal agencies, NATO, UN, diplomatic corps, international corporations. In other words all the post WWII institutions that were corrupt from the start or have grown thoroughly corrupt over the decades. I assume the speaker is a GOPe Republican, black man, fighter pilot in Vietnam and also an astronaut. That helped me understand what these hacks mean by protecting democracy. Looking at you, National Review and other never Trumpers.

Is that the wedding dress? Seems like just a dress. I don’t like it, but at least it’s an actual dress and not a thong. So many modern wedding ‘dresses’ make the bride look like a $3 whore. The wedding dress should make an attempt to say ‘pure and virginal’ and not ‘I fucked every guy at the bar and now I’m working my way through the groomsmen.’

326 Is that the wedding dress? Seems like just a dress. I don’t like it, but at least it’s an actual dress and not a thong. So many modern wedding ‘dresses’ make the bride look like a $3 whore. The wedding dress should make an attempt to say ‘pure and virginal’ and not ‘I fucked every guy at the bar and now I’m working my way through the groomsmen.’

Sheafe framed his actions as a self‑declared “divine mission” under what he called “Operation First Commandment”, arguing that Christian leaders were “leading their flock astray” by following “a false God.”

Rough on the clutch.

In college, we took a road trip and one of the girls said, "I can drive a manual, so I'll help with the driving." Cool.

Except she freaked out when it started to roll back. She learned to drive stick on - and had only ever driven - a Subaru that a "hill-hold" clutch. She was not ready for the roll-back. She picked it up more or less immediately, though. She *did* in fact know how to drive.

It's a couple of things.

First, the Boomers were the first - and arguably only - "generation" like that. The world more or less took a break from baby-making for close to a decade in order to commit civilization-scale slaughter, and then got down to business all at once. It was a unique phenomenon and required some new stuff to deal with it.

Then, there's the normal "old people are squares" and "young people are retards" sides of the coin - just made bigger, because it all happened at once.

The phenomenon is over. The Millennials were the last "generation," because it was an echo of the first one. X and Silent were mixed, and Z and Alpha are mixed. The new ones don't exist. The "generation" demographic frame is shattered. What was old is new again. We're back to "age cohorts," which make much more demographic sense in the absence of firm start/stop points that affected the whole of society.

The Boomers were a unique event.

The two generations have a lot in common, which should be unsurprising given that one begot the other. But the Millennials are the end of it. The "generation" system is broken now. It was never natural and doesn't occur absent something as disruptive-yet-survivable as WWII. The odds against it recurring are huge, at least in anyone living's lifetime.

It's why "generations" keep shrinking. The Boomers were 20 years - an actual generation. X was shorter. Millennials were about the same. Zoomers are shorter and so is Alpha (per the demographers, anyway). It's approaching the 10-year threshold, now - or, in other words, the old-fashioned "age cohort" that makes a lot more sense in reality absent something like the War.

I am second to none in my disdain for the utter horror-show gargantuan waste of time and money SLS is, was, and always was going to be ... but just as a point of fact, it did already launch the Atremis I mission around the moon.

408 Good morning, all, and thank you, J.J. 🙏

1st saw this Silver Lining yesterday on the NY Post & put up a comment (50 Cent steps in with an offer to save NYC from White women voting) on Ace's related Axios post.

Here's another related article: Sportskeeda com: "Whose friend is this?" - 50 Cent offers to pay $258K to NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani to get away from the Big Apple, Published Jun 26, 2025

In part, "Where did he come from? Whose friend is this? I’m not feeling this plan (for taxing the rich). No. I will give him $258,750 and a first class one-way ticket away from NY. I’m telling Trump what he said too!"

Ha!

Bowman's a proven 🤡. He's had a lot of time to reflect on his 4 years in Congress, his primary loss to a moderate NY Democrat, and campaign debts, all the while his "Educator" self continues to playing victim (AIRPAC's chief target! MSNBC May 18, 2024) and hold onto all things anti-MAGA as key to staying on the very edge of the game.

Here's Bowman kissing up bigtime yesterday: Jamaal Bowman Ed.D. @ JamaalBowmanNY

Take that for what it’s worth.

And no one cared again. (But he better watch his butt slamming the Govs.)

So he went for a 3rd shot at big press and viciously attacked Stephen Miller, White House Deputy Chief of Staff, allegedly for a tweet from Miller, "NYC is the clearest warning yet of what happens to a society when it fails to control migration."

No, that's pure h8 of MAGA and anti-Semitism spewed at young Miller and his family.

Censuring highly recommended but will Congress have the guts? 🤔 It knows which side its bread is buttered on.

411 Nic update

412 Perhaps a stupid question...but how, legally, can that NJ township seize part of a family farm?

My admittedly limited knowledge of eminent domain was that it was for public use: aka trains, roads, bridges, etc. Not for damn illegals to camp. Surely there are empty buildings they could use this for, as in most cities. Sitting vacant since covid. I have seen this done with empty and vacated old motels, which lie along an Interstate and not next to neighborhoods.

Twelve states: Alabama, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, and Wisconsin passed legislation to prohibit the use of eminent domain for economic development. Others need to do this and soon.

The welfare housing plan in NJ is obvious for either homeless or illegals or both...current welfare recipients.

I'd like to see them try to do this in the South, my being from there and having interest in our family farm. Where landowners keep, like the NJ brothers, land for generations. Nothing much changes. Unlike NJ, however, there is a lot of farmland and forest, so there's the issue.

I feel badly for the brothers. I guess they have no chance against the state of NJ.
