The Morning Report — 7/ 3 /25

Good morning kids. CBD and I had a few thoughts and choice words for this Big Beautiful Bill on the latest episode of the podcast, linked here and in the sidebar and the usual outlets with Rumble coming a little later this morning. So, one passing thought on the BBB bill and then no more. As a couple of commenters noted, and I should have realized, If this bill was so horrible for the country vis a vis deficits crazy spending and what not, why did all the Dems and 3 RINO's vote "No?' Was it solely to ding Trump politically? Could be. And while we all want Trump to just take a chainsaw to the bureaucracy at one fell swoop, that's just not politically feasible so perhaps he thought he can do it piecemeal over his next three years.

Per a regular and astute commenter whose handle I forgot. His response to me about the BB:

You got caught up by the hype that some of the bad actors on our side have been throwing around trying to derail this bill. Or they are just ignorant. The Blackburn amendment was 100% theater and has no impact on illegals getting Medicaid. The core text of the bill already removes all funding for anyone who is ineligible through cutting off the Medicaid expansion loophole. If states want to fund illegals through their Expansion programs, they do that on their own dime. The Federal Govt gives them $0 in reimbursement.
The amendment was just to get Democrats on the record as voting affirmatively to give Medicaid to illegals. That is putting them on the record as supporting the 20 of yet another 80/20 issue.
Rule of thumb is to watch how the White House reacts to any situation. If they yawn and do nothing, then it was theater and not worth setting your hair on fire.
This is a good bill, a lot of good things in it, and worth the pork that had be put in to get Murkowski’s vote.
It is also NOT a budget bill, way too many people keep thinking it is. Save the ire for the appropriations bills that are coming in September.

Okay, basta cosi, so let us move on. Today, I give you a couple of prime examples of foot-in-mouth disease. Sadly the images of the individuals in question will doubtless cause loss of appetite if not projectile regurgitation.

First case:

Celebrity drag queen Pattie Gonia closed out LGBTQ Pride Month with a vulgar, derogatory message for President Donald Trump. . . Pattie Gonia then employed a vulgar slur in a jab at president Trump and said, “Better to be a faggot than a fascist.”

If only this vile shitstain cracked a book in school instead of spending hours on end fellating syphilitic hobos in gay bar toilets, he'd know that a "faggot" is a bundle of sticks, which in Latin are called "fascis," from which the word "fascist" is derived. as well as fascism, which is an offshoot of scialism/communism.

From the merely radiantly stupid of the aforementioned, we go to raging incitement:

Democrat Rep. Pramila Jayapal of Washington defended characterizing United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents as a “terrorist force” during a Wednesday CNN appearance, demanding the White House apologize for the agency’s enforcement operations.

Unlike the clueless deranged pervert who doesn't know the meaning of the words he spouts, this utterly repulsive coelacanth/wog mongrel knows full well what she is saying. Equating ICE with a terrorist organization legitimizes and gives a green light for anyone to physically target ICE and other law enforcement agents as a legitimate response to, what this miserable parasite deems as a, dare I say it because she will, "genocide" against colored people of color for merely being colored and on this side of what she and her ilk regard as an illegitimate border.

And this comes directly on the heels of some Los Angeles vice mayor calling on indigenous criminal LA latino gangbangers to show up in force and prevent Ice and the cops from rounding up illegal aliens by any means necessary, which of course in their case means deadly force.

So, if ICE agents and police are terrorists then by extension so is the United States government, of which ironically and tragically (for us) she is a part. Funny but I don't see her resigning her seat in Congress and calling for violent revolution. I might actually have a tiny bit of respect for her if she did. But no, she's an unprincipled coward. They're strategy is to bring us down from within by corrupting the minds of the young, impressionable and the dimwitted such as the aforementioned bundle of sticks with the Jasmine Crockett eyelashes, Pelosi girdle and RuPaul handmedowns.

And speaking of drag, we have Lady Liberty dressed up in a Hugo Boss black robe. And presto change-o you have Hugo Black, who aided and abetted in the setting up of actual concentration camps for the Nisei. Okay lefties: get your red-hot actual Nazi fascism right here. And you did it. But Trump is literally Hitler?!

"But, but, but Mamdani is so dreamy!!!"

A federal judge ruled on Wednesday that the Trump administration cannot prevent migrants who cross the southern border from making asylum claims. Judge Randolph Moss, an Obama appointee, held that the president does not have “unilateral authority to limit the rights of aliens present in the United States to apply for asylum” as he did in a day-one proclamation declaring an “invasion” at the southern border.

Hard to reconcile all of the above and most of the links with the fact that America turns 249 tomorrow.

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 day!

Barring something extraordinary, Zohran Mamdani is likely to become New York City’s next mayor. As a self-proclaimed socialist, he’s promised to “fix” many of the city’s challenges by expanding the size and scope of government, all paid for by higher taxes on the wealthy. It’s a pipe dream, but it got the votes. Ironically, if some congressional Republicans get their way, they could force all of America’s taxpayers to subsidize future Mayor Mamdani’s socialist experiment.

I watched a fan made Star Wars short, while the acting was uniformly terrible, the story was compelling and the light sabre dual was pretty much better than anything that has been depicted to date in any Star Wars film.

If Hollywood is to be reborn, then it's going to have to come from the fans.

46 Democrat Rep. Pramila Jayapal of Washington defended characterizing United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents as a “terrorist force”

Someone should ask Jayapal for a definition of "terrorist force".

One of the many dysfunctions of Leftists is that they don't have that inner monologue and can only "think" in terms of emotions and triggers. "Terrorist Force" is a trigger word that evokes negative emotions, particularly rage and fear.

That is her total goal in that statement: to stir unstable people to violently act out against a particular people.

You can't have a meaningful conversation with people whose only vocabulary is trigger words - sounds and arrangement of letters that convey no particular idea, but are only used to manipulate the weak mind by guiding them through a maze of confusing emotions.

As was confirmed by Biden, and these zombies that hold office until they are room temperature, often tucked away in a coma in some hospital away from cameras, reporters and constituents - they don't do anything except run their mouths and do theater.

Its their staff and the lobbyists who do all of the work. Just the other day the Speaker of the House was apologizing for representatives who were to busy or fell asleep during a critical vote.

That works fine when you have a benevolent dictator, but is Hell on Earth when the next in line is evil.

A Constitutional Republic is only suitable for a self-governing, religious people, and as one of the founders added, "is unsuitable for any other [people]".

Given the current demographic, a Constitutional Republic, while my preference, doesn't have the population that is worthy of it.

87 JJ, good job today.

My understanding of the BBB is it is a part of a much larger US Trump agenda and that it forms the foundation of that agenda that has the potential to be as significant as LBJ's Great Society. Critical, is this legislation, unlike executive orders, is something that will continue to set the agenda past his term. Is it ideologically perfect? Nah and who cares. US Trump is about metrics, results, that implement all of this.

The real work lays ahead and includes getting to a balanced budget and paying down the debt. How he executes on these, the border, deportations, rebuilding our manufacturing base, creating national wealth, resetting the global order, and all the rest over the next few years is when a measured understanding of the BBB can be made.

For now, I am willing to let him run. In his first 5 months his accomplishments are many and set the expectation that many more are to come. Give him this bill. In a more real politick manner the alternative is to do nothing and be buried by more of the same.

90 "A federal judge ruled on Wednesday that the Trump administration cannot prevent migrants who cross the southern border from making asylum claims. Judge Randolph Moss, an Obama appointee, held that the president does not have “unilateral authority to limit the rights of aliens present in the United States to apply for asylum” as he did in a day-one proclamation declaring an “invasion” at the southern border."

I don't think this changes anything. Asylum claims can be rejected PDQ and the border jumpers immediately sent back across. Or their claim is logged and they're sent back across to wait in Mexico, go home, whatever. This is why CBP has been releasing near zero illegals into the US. I'll bet they all have been trained how to plead for asylum.

I don't know if I am missing something else in US Code Title 8.

163 National Fried Clam today!

In 1914, Lawrence Henry "Chubby" Woodman and his wife Bessie opened a small concession stand on Main Street in Essex, Massachusetts. On weekends they sold small grocery items, homemade potato chips, and fresh clams that Chubby dug himself. At first, the business was slow. But on July 3, 1916, things began to change.

On that day, Chubby complained to a local fisherman named Tarr who was visiting the stand, "Business is slower than a couple of snails headed uphill.

Tarr, while nibbling on the tasty homemade potato chips, noticed a bucket of clams nearby and jokingly said, "Why don't you fry up some of your clams? If they're as tasty as those potato chips of yours, you'll never have to worry about having enough customers."

The next day, during the 4th of July parade, Chubby and Bessie presented the first fried clams to the citizens of Essex. The Yankee appetite has never been the same since. A year later a Boston fish market advertised "now equipped to serve the new tasty treat - fried clams." And Howard Johnson, owner of a chain of restaurants on the East Coast, came himself to learn how to make fried clams from Chubby.

Further, the report’s developers “marginalize[d]” the National Intelligence Council (NIC) and others to advance a partisan get Trump narrative. In fact, according to the review, the ICA had “a higher confidence level than was justified.”

TX governor Abbott isn't the brightest bulb. He had or has his fingers in "The Colony," a planned community near the town of Plum Orchard that was specifically set aside for Central and South American immigrants. Legal and illegal. It's huge. He also was receptive to money from Islamic institutions to allow them to build their own Islamic enclave (Epic City) with their own laws.

It wasn't until those efforts were made public did anyone really take note.

Suffice to say, TX state government isn't really on the ball. The citizenry there may have other ideas, but their government doesn't seem to. I've no idea what sort of demographics TX will become. All states face some sort of influx and demographics change. I don't recognize my hometown anymore. It's alien.

There’s a daily script with the same message. And it’s a stupid message, like that Donald Trump is ripping innocent immigrant families apart because of his inherent meanness. Well, some families should be ripped apart, and if you’re one of the Michoacán Mansons, like the father of the year Maryland Man who dabbled in murder, human trafficking, wife beating, and dirty pictures of little kids, you need to get the hell out of our country.

201 That is putting them on the record as supporting the 20 of yet another 80/20 issue.

what is going on behind the scenes that we don't know about that is enabling Republicans to be so cavalier about defying public opinion.

Maybe they already know the 2026 mid-terms aren't going to happen. Or, after 2024, they know how to steal elections now.

Oh, this again. The yearly prediction of cancelled elections. Remind me again how often that has happened?

It's a more than a plan, it's a done deal!: 'It’s official: Miami cancels November election, postpones it to 2026'

I think a simpler explanation is the fact that the Medicaid cuts don't kick in until after the 2026 election. I can see Fox running pieces interviewing people on Medicaid before that time and pooh-poohing the Democrats as fear mongers because everything is ok.

Trump is stationing troops in democratic states. Has any of the courts actually made him obey the law yet? The republicans are not concerned their constituents don't support them.

It's called REDISTRIICTING and happens in plain sight. With other voting suppression laws and techniques the GOP is invincible.

That's not what the Left is saying. They're rebroadcasting this report and saying it's the first sign Trump's economy is crashing!

CNBC: The private sector lost 33,000 jobs in June, badly missing expectations for a 100,000 increase, ADP says. Private sector hiring unexpectedly contracted in June, payrolls processing firm ADP said Wednesday, in a possible sign that the economy may not be as sturdy as investors believe as they bid the S&P 500 back up to record territory to end the month.

Private payrolls lost 33,000 jobs in June, the ADP report showed, the first decrease since March 2023. Economists polled by Dow Jones forecast an increase of 100,000 for the month. The May job growth figure was revised even lower to just 29,000 jobs added from 37,000.

309 The chlorine content of CFCs is what was blamed for the Ozone hole. Notice there is a sodium layer in the atmosphere. The sodium layer comes from the disassociation of salt (sodium – chloride) from the oceans – which of course leaves Chlorine. You can easily smell the salt in the water vapor near the ocean. This is a much larger natural source of chlorine than CFCs could ever be.

Isn’t it interesting that the Freon ban occurred just as the patent on Freon expired.

Private Sector: Added 74,000 jobs, below the expected 100,000 to 115,000, marking the smallest monthly gain since October 2024. Excluding healthcare and education, private payrolls grew by only 23,000, well below the 12-month average of 50,000.

Manufacturing: Lost 7,000 jobs, aligning with expectations of a decline.

Analysis: The June jobs report indicates a labor market that remains robust but shows signs of strain, particularly in the private sector. Government and healthcare hiring propped up overall numbers, but weak private sector growth, declining labor force participation, and high continuing claims suggest underlying challenges. The unemployment rate's drop was partly due to a shrinking labor force rather than broad-based strength, raising concerns about sustainability. Economists noted that seasonal adjustments might have overstated the headline figures, and tariff-related uncertainties continue to weigh on labor demand.

ADP Report Discrepancy: The ADP National Employment Report, released July 2, 2025, reported a private sector job loss of 33,000, contrasting sharply with the BLS's 74,000 private sector job gain. ADP highlighted losses in professional/business services (-56,000) and health/education (-52,000), offset by gains in goods-producing sectors (+32,000). This discrepancy underscores ADP's inconsistent track record in predicting BLS figures.

315 Quote:
'A federal judge ruled on Wednesday that the Trump administration cannot prevent migrants who cross the southern border from making asylum claims. Judge Randolph Moss, an Obama appointee, held that the president does not have “unilateral authority to limit the rights of aliens present in the United States to apply for asylum” as he did in a day-one proclamation declaring an “invasion” at the southern border.'
That judge is correct. 'Illegal migrants can claim asylum.' They can 'apply for asylum'. But, and here is the fact. They, as illegal immigrants, 'do not have a right to asylum!'. "We the people" defines U.S. citizens. As such, the U.S. Constitution does NOT apply to foreigners.
They do not have automatic right to asylum!
