The Morning Report — 7/ 4 /25

Good morning kids, and let me wish all of you a happy Independence Day and God bless America on its 249th birthday.

Of course the top story of the day is the passage of this so-called Big Beautiful Bill by the House. And President Trump is set to sign it into law some time today. Regardless of my personal feelings about government spending, the President is boasting that in the end, passage will supercharge an already recovering economy,

as the latest job numbers and slowing inflation rate from June, indicate, continuing a trend over the past few months.

“There could be no better birthday present for America than the phenomenal victory we achieved just hours ago when Congress passed the One Big, Beautiful Bill to Make America Great Again,” said Trump. “In the last election, the people gave us a historic mandate to cut taxes, raise take-home pay, bring back jobs, stop the invasion … deport the illegals, and slash hundreds of billions of dollars of waste and fraud, and that’s what we’re doing.”
“With this bill, every major promise I made to the people of Iowa in 2024 became a promise kept,” he added.

Obviously, it remains to be seen what real, tangible positive effects will be to the average citizen. And those will shake out over the long term. Of course, the reactions on Wall Street and Main Street will be quicker as they make moves to adjust and adapt to undergird their bottom lines to government regulations and (even better, deregulation) that could affect their ability to invest, create jobs and make a profit.

With all that said, the real tell are the reactions from both the Democrats and their propagandists in the media. The hyperbole, has been completely off the charts, and these are the people (on paper) that created the disgusting and puerile agitprop porn of Paul Ryan shoving granny in a wheelchair off of a cliff.

Here's Debbie Dingell-berry,

President Donald Trump’s sweeping tax and spending bill will cause people to die.

Wait, Democrats for decades have been taxing and spending us into oblivion. So on the one hand they're suddenly fiscal hawks while at the same time claiming that a massive spending bill will cause people to die?

And from a political standpoint, we have this

CNN analyst Paul Begala said Thursday on “Anderson Cooper 360” that the “Big, Beautiful Bill” was a “political death warrant” that will cause the Republican Party to lose the majority in the 2026 midterm elections. Begala said, “Hakeem Jeffries gave the Democrats a voice today. He set the new record for a speech in the House. They don’t have filibusters in the House, but they have this rule that allows the leader to speak pretty much unlimited. So he went on for hours, and he focused on Medicaid, focused on health care.”

Is it just me, or did you read "CNN analyst" as CNN Anal-Cyst.

Maybe he didn't listen quite closely to Hakeem who stated unequivocally:

If Big Beautiful Bill Passes, a ‘Deportation Machine Will Be Unleashed on Steroids’

Uh, if Hakeem Jeffries is right then guess what, the Democrats will be wiped out electorally for the foreseeable future! Please God let Hakeem be right. The GOP base will be energized and millions of illegal aliens gone not only improves society and our economy, it protects future elections and perhaps will prevent Texas' 38 electoral votes from shifting to the communists forever.

The dissonance between Jeffries and Begala is quite stunning. And that Jeffries would be stupid enough to articulate a position that is music to the ears of the vast majority of Americans is amazing. I think they need to show MAGA-hat wearing Ron DeSantis with a swastika armband throwing little brown babies into a pond of alligators. The Paul Ryan as Tommy Udo schtick is getting stale.

And to cap it off:

“I didn’t vote for him and I’m not always aligned with his approach, but his success on the domestic and international front in such a compressed period of time is nothing short of remarkable and it’s all due to his impressive use of political and executive power,” Michael LaRosa, a former Biden White House spokesman, told The Post. “The last two weeks of his presidency are a throwback to the strong leadership styles reminiscent of LBJ or Reagan, both of whom engendered such personal and political loyalty within their parties, that they could muscle through historic success out of sheer goodwill.” A different Biden White House official, who served all four years in the Democratic administration, said Trump has “hit a stride” and marveled at his ability to pressure holdout Republicans into voting for the major legislation despite centrist reluctance over Medicaid and SNAP cuts and conservative demands for deeper spending reductions. . .
. . . “You voted for it because you’re scared of the guy. And frankly, that’s impressive, given that Biden never invoked fear in anyone,” the former Biden aide said of the GOP holdouts, all but two of whom eventually backed the bill.
“Successful campaigns and successful operations excel when they are provided clarity in mission from their leader — in this case President Trump,” said Chris LaCivita, who ran Trump’s 2024 campaign alongside current White House chief of staff Susie Wiles.
“Elections matter because you now have one of the greatest realignments in political history happening and being backed up by policy. If you work, pay taxes and aspire for a better tomorrow, you are voting Republican,” LaCivita said, describing the working-class reforms encompassed in the bill, which also made permanent Trump’s 2017 tax cuts to all brackets.

When even two Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants stooges praise Trump, with the faintest of damnation, that kind of says something.

Finally, You'll be shocked to know that rising Democrat Superstar Mamdani lied about being an abeed, as my Syrian friends from Brooklyn would refer to him, in order to get into Columbia. Jeez, Obama 2.0 in more ways than one! Lord forbid.

On a bit of a positive note, SCOTUS has smacked down the lower courts' overreach and ruled the President can deport criminal illegals to places like Sudan.

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 happy, safe and enjoyable Fourth of July weekend.

The case stems from a June 1 terror attack, where Soliman allegedly threw Molotov cocktails and used homemade flamethrowers against elderly participants in a “Run for Their Lives” event supporting Israeli hostages kidnapped by Hamas on October 7, 2023. The attack injured 29 people, eight of whom were hospitalized with burns. Karen Diamond, an 82-year-old victim, died from her injuries this week.Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty called the attack a “horrific act of terror” that took the life of a beloved community member, vowing to seek justice for the victims. Following Diamond’s death, prosecutors upgraded two of Soliman’s charges from attempted murder to first-degree murder, which carries a mandatory life sentence without parole if convicted.

The train was an intercity express (ICE) heading to Vienna.The suspect, believed to be a Syrian national, was carrying both an axe and a hammer during the attack. Early reports suggest train passengers ended the attack by taking on the Syrian, with one managing to grab away one of his weapons and use it against him.

Clearly, the Democrats are more than a wee bit triggered by the One Big Beautiful Bill.

41 I find it grimly amusing that Mad-Manny claimed to be "African American." The thing is, he's correct. He's from Africa and he's a naturalized [hopefully not for long] American citizen.

The controversy is due to Lefties moving goalposts back in the 1990s so that "African American" became synonymous with "black" as a racial descriptor. I distinctly remember back when I was a beat cop back when when we had a black female rookie that tried to get us to do that.

I told her that was stupid, we're just giving a general racial descriptor in our reports/citations. I asked her if a black person from Jamaica should be called an "African Jamaican"? Of course, the reply was that I was a racist. Whatevs, b!tch. She stuck around for a few more years before leaving (I suspect the city paid her to go away).

Agreed. That's why we have some 50-80 million illegals in the U.S. They're a key factor in the Donk's pursuit of power. Get millions of illegals out of the country and Donk are going to have a much harder time at the ballot box.

When Pres. Trump was giving his speech in Iowa last night, he said something about the Democrats that I was certain that we'd hear the pearl-clutchers whining about: he said something to the effect, "They [Democrats] hate me. Well, I hate them too. I hate them because they hate America."

Trump is an absolute master of branding. Even the dummies calling it the big ugly bill fell into his branding trap. Cats chasing lasers

129 The controversy is due to Lefties moving goalposts back in the 1990s so that "African American" became synonymous with "black" as a racial descriptor. I distinctly remember back when I was a beat cop back when when we had a black female rookie that tried to get us to do that.

I told her that was stupid, we're just giving a general racial descriptor in our reports/citations. I asked her if a black person from Jamaica should be called an "African Jamaican"? Of course, the reply was that I was a racist. Whatevs, b!tch. She stuck around for a few more years before leaving (I suspect the city paid her to go away).

Commies always try to twist language to cause confusion and resentment. One of the keys to resisting Commies is to not accept their premises.

The failure of the "people of color" label to resonate with intended audience (black and brown people) is because they look at each other and think, we have nothing in common.

Better yet, the reason why there is no money for your never ending wealth transfer between the Producers to the Takers (where Government is the senior partner in the plundering) is that you put 40 million illegal aliens, not only in the front of the line, but gave them maximum benefits.

I am blessed to have extended family that are welcoming, loving and generally apolitical. Yesterday I got back from an overnight visit to their home on a northern Michigan lake. Idyllic does not even begin to describe it. Hanging out with extended cousins, my aunt and uncle and letting everyone play with my grandkids (who loved the attention) was pretty cool, but the best part was convincing my father to come with me and see everyone for the first time since Covid.

He's a reserved guy, but I could tell he was having blast.

He's a liberal, and my uncle trolled him by having Fox on in the morning, but he didn't take the bait and everyone had a great time.

There should be a word that is of a singular noun form but refers to a collection of boobs like the words for packs of animals, flock, pod, gaggle.

300 Considering the vast majority of people get their information from TikTok and Instagram, that most people can't formulate an original idea, that half the people "think" using images and emotions, that Mimetic Theory is a thing, the answer is, as always, what was the saturation like on those mediums and was the rhetoric high on the emotional triggering scale?

Those two things have potential proxies to get an objective answer to the question.

The left has shifted away from results-based logic to quasi-religious thinking. Two decades ago you could have an actual debate over whether gun control (or portions of it) increased or decreased crime. Now they don't care. Crime can soar so long as you are unarmed. No cash bail is the same.

It's a form of Puritanism (Yard Sign Calvinism) where belief = salvation. The Anointed (as Thomas Sowell called them) are always right, and everything is excused even rape (Clinton) or murder if you are of the Anointed.

Conversely, everyone else is under total depravity, so even when they produce good results, it is tainted by evil.

304 My lovely wife, a career special ed teacher and administrator, was also of the same opinion - Head Start only wastes $$ and has no long term benefit for the kids.

It served its purpose as the gateway drug to government school provided breakfast.

You see, the drugged out "mother" of these little reprobates can't be bothered with preparing a breakfast, let alone rip open a box of Froot Loops, so the government take millions of dollars from Producers, finds the lowest bidder using the most RFK offending ingredients and poisons the kids prior to the normal herding of the critters into the government day-kennels for their daily sex grooming.

326 It's a form of Puritanism (Yard Sign Calvinism) where belief = salvation.

I know that you are a devout member of Rome, but could you grind your axe on slurring the Evangelicals rather than the Calvinists?

Its the Evangelicals that say that nominal belief (aka sincerity in any faith) = salvation. (Come to think of it, so did Mother Theresa and several of your Popes)

Calvinists have a more convoluted, yet formal methodology that includes Predestination, Election and Regeneration prior to obtaining Faith.

The Multi-colored Yard Phylacteries don't share any of the origin theories since it is pure virtual signaling and Mimetic Theory (which, ironically Calvinism is the exact opposite)

I swear, Rome is like the Federal District Judge when ruling on Eternal Life - constantly overruling God in whom God chooses to show His Mercy and Grace.

Dubya didn't need Pelosi when the GOP controlled both chambers. He pissed that away in 2006, but up to that point, this Evangelical Dedicated Conservative did jack shit to enforce fiscal discipline or advance any conservative cause.

Note also, he was silent when Roe was overturned. When "Christian" leaders wonder why religious voters remain loyal to Trump, it's because he is the first GOP leader to not treat them as cheap dates.

I use Calvinism because it most accurately describes their beliefs. You don't have to like it, and slurring my faith does nothing to strengthen your argument.

The concept of total depravity is unknown elsewhere, yet it perfectly describes the Woke worldview. Trump can do no right for them. None of the MAGA can. Similarly, their Election is irrevocable.

I have a deep dive here: https://tinyurl.com/359hvjta

People who can look only at externalities are easily fooled by the subterfuge.

I tried several different searches to come up with an actual photo for the 'ettes and the closest I could get was some woman in a bikini. I even listed specific people like Channing Tatum, but no luck. Sorry ladies.

You see, the drugged out "mother" of these little reprobates can't be bothered with preparing a breakfast, let alone rip open a box of Froot Loops, so the government take millions of dollars from Producers, finds the lowest bidder using the most RFK offending ingredients and poisons the kids prior to the normal herding of the critters into the government day-kennels for their daily sex grooming.

362 I agree. Communism is an inversion of the Judeo-Christian Ethic. While is masquerades as "compassion for the poor", there is no love; thus, Communists commit the Deadly Sins of Pride, Envy, Wrath and Theft -- all while feeling virtuous.

This is also why the Church is always the first and foremost target.

When Roe was repealed, Catholic churches were vandalized, but I don't know of any Protestant ones being hit. The Indian School Graveyard hoax did result in non-Catholic churches being burned, but probably because the attackers didn't know the difference between Rome and Moscow.

374 - Is this what's referred to as a strawman argument?

Place all those who believe we should share the good news of our Lord and Saviour in the same box as those who have gained fame and riches selling the "prosperity gospel" or teaching it's okay to be way, or...

Because that's really rich coming from someone who can't even obey one of the easiest "don't do's" our Lord gave us.
See - Matthew 23:9
Even the D-R gets that one close enough.

377 Yes; There's seems to be a big push to for leftists to shriek about "Christian Nationalism." It's clearly a slur but I don't know what's it supposed to mean .As a Christian do I support a Christian American theocracy! Absolutely not. I do think, however the USA was a better country when more people believed in the God of the Bible and not the god of progressive government.

Catholic churches seem to attract vandals, Protestant ones (mostly Big Box and followers of the American Religion) tend to draw the shooters.

382 Yes; There's seems to be a big push to for leftists to shriek about "Christian Nationalism."

I think the "Christian Nationalism" slur comes from those with a Jewish upbringing because the identity Jew can be genetic, cultural a/o religious.

Likewise, the same thinking that defines "Jew" also attempts to define "Christian" as European stock (genetic), Western (cultural), and Evangelical/Catholic (relgious).

Some are former or retired officials. My guess is that this was a project of one of the EPA emplloyee unions (AFGE and/or NTEU). I recognize some names as Biden political amployees, and/or senior managers who were known to be very left wing.

389 To expand your comment on communism, Buckeye - Marxism is a satanic inversion of 1st century Christianity, with Man and his creature, the State put in the place of God. People who can look only at externalities are easily fooled by the subterfuge. As Lewis and Tolkien both pointed out, Evil can never truly create anything of its own; it succeeds only by warping and corrupting those good things which already exist.
Posted by: Tom Servo at July 04, 2025 09:26 AM (0DdMG)

You are absolutely correct. That's why the battle against Communism is spiritual, not economic.

Many people being swayed by Communism will admit to believing in the supernatural: i.e., the "I'm spiritual but not religious" argument (typically when criticizing Christianity). Of course, demons are spiritual beings, too.

392 J.J.,
Could you please use a different font for your memes?
I struggle to read them even magnified. They are the fat white letters that run together, and on light backgrounds don't have the contrast to aid readability. Since I am providing a graphic "tip" so to speak, I will try and figure out how to do it also financially.
Thanks

Posted by: Dave at July 04, 2025 11:23 AM (02R/w)

393 Dave, white letters with a black outline would stand out against virtually any background. Surely there are such fonts available, if JJ could use them.
