Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | The Morning Report — 7/ 1 /25![]() For some reason, one of the better websites AmericanGreatness dot com which features such notable authors as Victor Davis Hanson as well as Larry Sand who covers the education beat, is down. If anyone has a line to the editors there, see if you can suss out what's going on and shoot me an e-mail. Hopefully they'll be back up soon. Meanwhile, as I wrote about yesterday and had suspected would be the case, we still have no definitive explanation for why this maniac set a wildfire and then gunned down two firefighters in cold blood who responded to the scene. Somewhere, there is a Venn diagram perhaps with Transexual, Muslim, Climate Change stooge, Anti-Ice/open borders terrorist, Trump-hater, or bog-standard off-the-shelf Pyromaniac. And so the convergence point is the biggest question mark of all. It happens every time there's a high-profile crime. Law enforcement officials, in collusion with social media companies, surreptitiously disable the social media profiles of suspects, leaving Americans in the dark about their motives and political leanings. The question is why. And who benefits? The most recent example is Wess Roley, 20, who is accused of starting a fire in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, on Sunday so he could ambush first responders. Two firefighters died in the attack, and a third was critically wounded. Roley was later found dead on Canfield Mountain. It's not clear whether his gunshot wound was self-inflicted or the result of a firefight with police. The Kootenai Sheriff's office, as per usual when these things happen, has not released a motive in the shooting. Also, as per usual, his social media profiles have been scrubbed. The gatekeepers have decided that the public will not see his posts unless and until they decide to release them. Most likely, that won't happen until they are forced to release the files as the result of a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit. That could take months, or even years. Frankly, all things considered as to what's been happening in this nation since the 2020 summer of love mostly peaceful rioting and incineration of American cities and towns, law enforcement had best figure out whether they're with us or with the terrorists. Because things are on a knife edge. Acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Todd Lyons says left-wing activists are targeting ICE agents, with some going after agents’ families, including their children. In a video posted to X on Monday, Lyons revealed that ICE and the United States Secret Service tracked down one particular activist who had been targeting the children of ICE agents online. Given the past 10 years of blood-libeling President Trump as literally Hitler, and the MAGA movement as the Nazi party, and of Trump-supporters as white supremacist racists wherein ICE will soon be rounding up anyone and everyone to not only deport illegal aliens but actual citizens for being of the wrong political persuasion. That rhetoric comes not just from the fringe lunatic base but from the highest echelons of the Democrat Party, it's propagandists in the legacy media and in schools and universities across the country, is it any wonder that police, ICE and random citizens who march in support of Israel have been the targets of not merely verbal abuse but of physical violence. The latter, an 81 year-old Holocaust survivor succumbed after being severely burned by an Egyptian illegal alien who hurled a molotov cocktail at her and other Jews in Boulder CO. Putting the Islam element aside for a moment, Leftists have the same moral conviction that they are the defenders of freedom and righteousness and are being targeted by the forces of darkness and evil, and so have the right an indeed moral obligation to use deadly force to defend themselves and defend their perverse worldview by any means necessary. All that said, this is how the civil society collapses and how things like political death squads appear. From there, the road to civil war and worse, Rwanda and Pol Pot, is clear. Unless the funders, and the organizers of such groups as Antifa, La Raza, BLM, CAIR and all the rest are crushed by every legal means at our disposal, we are in for a world of hurt that will make 2020 and what's been happening in LA and elsewhere over the past few weeks back look like a picnic. All we need is for an ICE agent(s) to get the notion to dox a few of these miscreants and "Take Care of Business" beforehand and Bingo. Not that I am encouraging that or wishing for it, because the aftermath is too horrific to contemplate. But if these guys think their kids are in the crosshairs, they'll either retire and move (which in and of itself was what the BLM defund the police movement sought to do as a means to dismantle law enforcement without necessarily firing a shot, by disincentivizing being a cop as a profession in the first place) . . or they will take matters into their own hands if they feel they do not have the backing of their political leadership. And in far too many places, the blue shithole cities and states, this is certainly the case. And look what is likely on the horizon for NYC. an Anti-American Islamic terror cheerleader/supporter, anti-law enforcement Communist as the likely next mayor. While the Democrat party mayoral primary in New York is stealing the headlines, those who have watched Marxist-Hegelian hybrid ideology overtake the party since the 1960s could have predicted this outcome. Democrat voters in New York City have chosen Zohran Mamdani as their mayoral candidate. He is an avowed socialist Islamist who has never held a real job, gratuitously tosses around promises of giving away almost everything for free, has publicly stated his determination to defund the police, campaigned on tax-payer funding of “gender-affirming care,” and who vociferously defends all illegal immigrants, including those convicted of heinous crimes, from deportation. Mamdani wants to empty the jails in New York, claiming that violence is an artificial construction. His commitment to socialist ideals is informed by his Islamic faith, which includes his refusal to retract or apologize for trafficking in incendiary antisemitic language such as “globalize the intifada” for over a decade in a city with two million Jews, second only to Tel Aviv.Of course, Mamdani won't abolish the NYPD. Meh, maybe he'll do just that?! But you can just imagine the kind of individuals who will make up their ranks once the sane ones have fled or are forced out. Worse, those who remain and will "just follow orders" to preserve protect and defend their pensions.

Happy Canada Day to our fellow Hordians in the Great North. Today in Newfoundland, it's Memorial Day. July 1st marks the first day of the Battle of the Somme in 1916. The 1st Newfoundland Regiment attacked at Beaumont Hamel and was virtually wiped out, suffering over 90% casualties. Major-General Sir Beauvoir De Lisle of the 29th Division, to which the Newfoundlanders were attached, said of them, "It was a magnificent display of trained and disciplined valour, and its assault only failed of success because dead men can advance no further." Today, a memorial Caribou, its head raised in defiance toward the enemy lines, marks where they fell. https://tinyurl.com/3za7d9m7 Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh at July 01, 2025 07:30 AM (/HVsR) 20

While that total remains one of the highest prices ever recorded by AFBF, up significantly from the $52.80 recorded in 2019 before the Covid and Bidenflation price hikes, it is down 30 cents from the record high $71.22 bill calculated in 2024.
So 100% of the COVID dollars loosed to ease unemployment and shutdowns is gone via inflation. Not only that 100% of the the Inflation Reduction (hahahaha) Act gone via inflation. 71.22-52.80=18.42 18.42/52.80=34% IIRC real M2 grew by around 42 or 43% There is still around 9% inflation lurky around the corner.

I ran across a couple of videos about the Idaho shooter.
The bottom line, from the content and the comments is that he was 20, born in CA (I assume Los Angeles), moved to AZ, then ID, was a Latino, a gang member, with mental health issues, and there's a hint that he was trans. Some say he was angry at his parents for being MAGA. At a press conference, a cop said there had been a number of calls about him before. Several non-violent things, like trespassing, where the cops told him to leave and he did. But there were a number of "wellness checks" as well (apparently due to the mental health issues). Ridiculous, how the cop brushed that off. Cop said he didn't like calling him "Mr" (leading some to think "trans"). Wouldn't any violent offences be hidden from the public, because he was a minor? His former roommate was interviewed. He had kicked this kid out because he was a gang member and too creepy to have around his family. The editing of that interview tried hard to hide those facts. Yeah, so not a white supremacist MAGA guy - just a disturbed leftist lunatic from CA. Expect the corporate media to bury this, pronto.

I was WONDERING why Trump stopped the fighting, when the good guys were winning, and no permanent solution could be had until the mullahs are out. I figured maybe it was terrible optics if Israel and/or the US were seen as taking down the regime - it needed to be a popular uprising. It would make sense that they would have had an insurgency ready to unleash after the military attack did what it needed to, and I have to think that's exactly what's going on.

t happens every time there's a high-profile crime. Law enforcement officials, in collusion with social media companies, surreptitiously disable the social media profiles of suspects, leaving Americans in the dark about their motives and political leanings.
The question is why. And who benefits? Answer: Every poor sap who had the misfortune to have any social media contact with him. Their personal reputations aren't drawn into it. Or at least that was probably the original thought, and now it has become mindless policy similar to the joke about why cut the ends off of the roast before putting it in the oven.

The plan seems to be to exhaust the value of the U.S. dollar with so much debt that it becomes worthless, along with the Euro, the Pound, the Yuan and the Yen.
Everybody and everything is in debt. The only countries not in deep debt are countries that already defaulted on their deep debts and started over with a clean slate. This will continue until the major currencies fail and they replace the dollar as the reserve currency with a new currency (probably digital) controlled by the World Bank/INF & UN.

But he was always a liberal, benefitting from "clean" energy tax rebates before he became MAGA. And folks tend to vote their wallets 1st, which he now says he will...even if his wallet could never realistically spend more money... It's why we were always Musk allies, but not Musk friends.

Trump commissioned DOGE then did……what? with what DOGE was finding.
I'm going to treat this as a serious question so I'll give it a serious answer. Trump has ended every single questionable thing that DOGE uncovered that wasn't specifically authorized by Congress. He then asked Congress to deal with the things that were specifically authorized by Congress. Why didn't he just act on his own to get rid of things which specifically authorized by Congress? Because that would be a violation of federal law. But people don't actually want to know why they can't have a cookie right now. They just want to stomp their feet and bitch about how things are happening fast enough to suit them. Posted by: I used to have a different nic at July 01, 2025 08:37 AM (ExV1e) 160

The fact that they scrubbed his social media strongly suggests that these strange killings are politically motivated. And they aren't blaring "WILDFIRE IN MAGA COUNTRY" across our hatefeeds, so it stands to reason the guy was a Leftist kook of some variety.
But even setting aside the shocking level of corruption in our law enforcement and media, it stands to reason, anyway. This was a particularly insane way to lash out. And people on the Left are so much likelier to be mentally ill. Their political beliefs alone attract all the misfits to their banner, and their institutions pump them full of pharmaceuticals and social media poison, and educate them to hate every normie until they turn into wild eyed fanatics.

The thing is, few stand around and lets themselves be robbed.

This is better grift than generating strife and division just so that campaign donation emails/letters have more impact.

A lot of pornstars are from poor families, start as strippers and prostitutes, are hooked on drugs and drinking, get ‘discovered’ by a producer and promised big money for doing films.
Most burn out in a few years and still make most of their money stripping as a headline act and as high class call girls. That’s why so many get boob-jobs - big breasted girls make a lot more money stripping. Also many of them start small just to pay tuition or the rent - doing webcams or OnlyFans, and then get discovered and then they’re in films. Only the most beautiful and talented and smart can make it past their mid-20s, like a Jenna Jameson who turned her career into her own production studio. Several ended up dead from drug overdoses, where they are “found dead” in their apartments, alone, days later. People think they’ve all been sexually abused as children but a lot aren’t, they’ve got mental and addiction issues that lead them down that road, and once you’re in that lifestyle it’s difficult to get out.

Americans Have Never Hated Being American More. Only 41 percent of American adults reported being “extremely” proud to be an American, with 17 percent “very” proud...Republicans, 92 percent of whom are very or extremely proud, are as chipper as ever. 😢
I'm traveling abroad tomorrow. If anyone asks I'm telling them I'm Canadian. I am downright ashamed to be FROM this country now. Trump and Putin are breaking this country. They are breaking our hearts, our spirits, our dreams, our pride. I don't get "proud". I feel fortunate. But I am often embarrassed. This is one of those times. I personally am not a fan of pride. We were the home of the brave and land of the free. We defeated the Nazis and saved Europe and the Far East from fascism. We were the oldest, most successful democracy in the world. The greatest economy and military in the world. Greatest science powerhouse. We had many flaws but some things to be proud of. And it felt like we were moving in the right direction. Women's rights, civil rights, ecology, climate change, etc. Now all of that is gone. I'm planning to wear a black dress on Friday. To mourn the nation's death.

Here's what Grok says about overriding Parlimentarian.
60 votes are typically required in the Senate. This is because a senator can raise a point of order against a provision deemed extraneous by the Parliamentarian, and it takes a three-fifths majority (60 out of 100 senators) to waive that point of order and overrule the Parliamentarian’s recommendation. Alternatively, the presiding officer (often the Vice President) can overrule the Parliamentarian’s advice directly, but this is rare and has not occurred since 1975. Some sources suggest the possibility of a simple majority (51 votes) overriding the Parliamentarian by using the "nuclear option" to set a new precedent, though this is debated and not universally accepted. However, the standard and most commonly referenced threshold remains 60 votes. 15 web pages Explain Byrd Rule Senate filibuster rules Posted by: olddog in mo at July 01, 2025 09:05 AM (ViCCR) Posted by: callsign claymore at July 01, 2025 09:05 AM (S+xxD) 279

Anyone know the reasoning behind parliamentarian's decision that cutting off non-US citizens from medicare doesn't qualify for a reconciliation bill?
Because she, as a partisan Democrat, doesn't want it to - same reason the NFA isn't a tax law. Posted by: An Observation sez Trump is my President at July 01, 2025 09:17 AM (Da7Vv) Posted by: George Clinton at July 01, 2025 09:17 AM (vFG9F) 325

323 Think about it a bit, and the “not proud of America” by the left is a good sign of complete victory by our side. Why? Because this shows us that the Left is giving up. Not only do they know they lost the election, they’ve also lost hope that they’ll ever get power back. They’re defeated, and defeated people hate everything.
They were never “loyal Americans”, they were our Enemies, always. And Trump has beaten them.

>> Anyone know the reasoning behind parliamentarian's decision that cutting off non-US citizens from medicare doesn't qualify for a reconciliation bill?
Because senate rules require for this particular reconciliation process that it is directly related tax or budget. That’s why the NFA tax elimination portion remains but the registration part does not. Medicaid changes are a little more complex, but eliminating benefits for illegal immigrants is more a registration requirement than an actual budget issue. Not saying I completely agree. But you have to be careful what you wish for. It’s probably that one day Democrats will have a majority. If you open that door, you can’t shit it. And yes, I know Democrats are talking about doing exactly that should they ever regain a majority. Same with the filibuster. But they know as well as us, that’s a double edged sword.

Second generation feminism was in part a reaction to the 50s, so anything women commonly did then became bad. But...this cemented in the public consciousness that these were things that were part of being a woman So when trannies put on woman-face they want to pick the things people think most of as female.

Chuck Martel,
Basically germaness is the grounds that the parliamentarian is using (wrongly I think in some). Senate rules for reconciliation require the primary reason for a bill provision deal with taxes and spending and not policy. But the ruling over illegals accessing health care or the NFA removal as non germane requiring 60 votes is patently stupid. Illegals cost the US a lot in welfare costs and are not by law entitled to Medicaid or Obamacare. So preventing states from charging Uncle Sam for illegals has a large budget impact. The NFA ruling is even more specious and ignores Scotus decision calling it a tax. Posted by: whig's phone at July 01, 2025 09:41 AM (ctrM5) 402
>>Why do some of these transgenders wear clothes that look like they're from the 1950's? . Is that going to convince us they're real women.
A guess? In the 2000's, men's and women's clothes got fairly androgynous. Guys wearing skinny jeans, women wearing khakis w/tees and button-down shirts (not heels, hose, etc.). The GAPification of apparel. Now along come men who want to pass as women, but they can't wear everyday casual women's clothes because it doesn't include the cues that they are WOMEN. Dress in GAPwear and you look like a dude in make-up. Thus, they have to seek out overtly feminine clothes from an earlier era that scream "It's MA'AM!!"

Nice! I loved her voice when she was on Idol (and the package it came in ain’t bad either).

When I try amgreatness dot com, I get a page that says the domain name will soon be on sale. At the bottom of the page is this statement:
"This webpage was generated by the domain owner using Sedo Domain Parking. Disclaimer: Sedo maintains no relationship with third party advertisers.

Thanks for the explanation. It is such an odd thing, irrespective of how odd it is is being a fake woman. Posted by: FenelonSpoke at July 01, 2025 09:46 AM (2GCMq) 406
I've also noticed that most troons have to change their names to Guinevere, Rose, Lilly or some other exotic female name. Because NOTICE ME!! is one of their commandments.

Wess Roley, had a last mail address in Phoenix AZ, so what was he doing Idaho
"He actually really respected law enforcement," Roley said. "He loved firefighters. It didn't make sense that he was shooting firefighters. Maybe he got rejected or something." His grandfather said Wess Roley's height, standing around 5-foot-8, might have prevented him from becoming a firefighter. Posted by: SMOD at July 01, 2025 09:53 AM (RHGPo) 408
American Greatness site issues:
This thread on x (dated June 29 and linked via xcancel.com) has replies that say they're working on the site. https://tinyurl.com/2e5medke This does NOT square with claims that the domain is up for sale. I think they forgot to renew their domain registration and someone else sniped it. If so, they'll have to go through a process to reclaim it. I've heard it isn't clear cut, and it can get messy.

Democrats are planning a nationwide sick day where they pledge to stop working, spending, and producing.
Sounds good, make the Democrat-led cities collapse even faster. .. so, its like every other day Posted by: SMOD at July 01, 2025 09:59 AM (RHGPo) 411
If you forget to renew your domain it sits for 30 or 90 days before it can be jumped on. Something else must have happened.

Also, as per usual, his social media profiles have been scrubbed. The gatekeepers have decided that the public will not see his posts unless and until they decide to release them. Most likely, that won't happen until they are forced to release the files as the result of a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit. That could take months, or even years.
I looked up the murdering coward's name as soon as I saw it. I found a matching name and age of him being on an Arizona track team of some sort. Read later that he did once live in Arizona. With that and his faggy looking photos, maybe he was like the Maine track star who transgendered. Otherwise he may simply be a card carrying schizo who wanted suicide by fire dept vs police. I hope he rots in hell. I will miss you, Jay. RIP and prayers for your family.

@411/...: Good point, I'd forgotten about the protected period of time. Looks like Sedo is offering to negotiate purchase of the domain from the existing owner.
That may be Sedo's default if a domain name is "parked". American Greatness on X claims "server problems" and "being worked on", so they might have parked their DNS entry until they have the existing server fixed, or a new server spun up and restored from backups. That's reading the situation benevolently, of course. Posted by: Grumpy and Recalcitrant at July 01, 2025 10:12 AM (O7YUW) 415

Posted by: SMOD at July 01, 2025 09:53 AM (RHGPo) Doubt it was his height. Perhaps his possible they/them/octopus pronouns were a factor. Or his lipstick choice that day. Weak and scrawny biceps.Or possibly other factoids. All the photos I have seen of him he looks much more feminine than Rosie or Ellen. Very twee and dear. So he used his firestarting skills to start a fire, and I wish these useless oxygen theives would suicide themselves vs innocent people. Especially innocent people coming to help.

From Tom Servo: "Think about it a bit, and the “not proud of America” by the left is a good sign of complete victory by our side. Why? Because this shows us that the Left is giving up. Not only do they know they lost the election, they’ve also lost hope that they’ll ever get power back. They’re defeated, and defeated people hate everything.
They were never “loyal Americans”, they were our Enemies, always. And Trump has beaten them." Very well said. They are in crisis, and many will not cope well. The leftist mindset always thinks that anyone who doesn't share their worldview is just simply wrong and immoral. If you refuse to use your mind, you will ultimately pay the consequences.

No wonder Bernie Sanders likes Mamdani, they are cut from the same, cheap, cut of fabric, fake rhinestones, and shiny baubles.
