The Morning Report — 7/17/25

Good morning kids, Let's start off with this . . .

Federal judge James Boasberg advised Chief Justice John Roberts and some two dozen other judges that his D.C. colleagues were “concern[ed] that the Administration would disregard rulings of federal courts leading to a constitutional crisis,” according to a memorandum obtained exclusively by The Federalist. That Judge Boasberg and his fellow D.C. District Court judges would discuss how a named Defendant in numerous pending lawsuits might respond to an adverse ruling is shocking. Equally outrageous is those judges’ clear disregard for the presumption of regularity — a presumption that requires a court to presume public officials properly discharged their official duties

"A Constitutional crisis?!" You don't say?!

The left chants “No kings!” in the streets—then cheer judges who rule like monarchs, imposing policy from the bench with all the subtlety of a royal decree . . . “Trump must go now!” they chanted, waving signs that likened the president to a dictator and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to his Gestapo.
Their complaint was alleged despotism. But if Democrats really opposed authoritarianism, they wouldn’t be celebrating its emergence in the courts.
When U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani brazenly overstepped her authority on July 7 to block Congress from stripping Planned Parenthood’s Medicaid funding through the budget reconciliation bill – a clear usurpation of the legislative branch’s power of the purse – the response from the Left wasn’t outrage but praise.
“Good,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) wrote on X. “Democrats will never stop fighting this backdoor abortion ban from the Republicans.”

As an aside, I am pro abortion in this instance — that is by ramming an Alligator Alcatraz alligator up Schumer's rectal orifice and having it navigate all the way up his accursed GI tract to clamp down on his vocal cords, reverse direction and pull them out so they can never vibrate their despicable noises and disturb the peace of the known universe again, But I digress.

As CBD and I discussed on the latest episode of the podcast linked here and in the sidebar as well as available on the popular platforms listed below, When a hack-in-black judge on any bench decides to usurp both the authority of the Executive Branch and the Legislative Branch in one fell swoop, well there's your Constitutional Crisis right there.

And yet, God bless President Trump, all he can do, or at least is willing to do is to seek redress in the courts, the very institution that metaphorically shot, stabbed, gang-raped and set you on fire in the first place. Of course unless and until the Supreme Court and the Chief Justice are willing to stop this madness, and at the same time Congress will do what it must and impeach these hacks-in-black, defrock and disbar them so that they can never appear in a court of law ever again, unless in an orange jumpsuit and in shackles and leg irons.

Of course that there is a tall order given their collective at best personal dislike if not incandescent hatred for Donald Trump and his threat to their power and influence on the nation and society.

I do not know the technical or bureaucratic details of how funds move from the treasury to the various institutions of government, but if the President were to put his foot down and override Talwani and prevent a single penny from being transferred to Planned infanticide, I can just see Schumer, Crockett and the rest of the Democrat Party issuing overt calls for people to take Trump out, if not for the US military to do the job. Well, if Butler PA, the 2020 summer of mostly Peaceful race riots and the current wave of insurrection against ICE won't convince you, HOW ABOUT THIS:

Car Laden With Weapons Including a Rifle, Rapier, and Bow Discovered at Capitol.

On top of an unknown number of Iranians, Afghanis and other mostly peaceful jihadists roaming the countryside.

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. The crisis is now way beyond merely the Constitution. We are on a knife edge.

Have a great day!

This is overly reductionist. It assumes that whatever is holding back the release has to do with Trump hiding something. There are other possible factors. I think we owe him the benefit of the doubt.

97 Re: Medicaid waste and abuse and perverse incentives

***************

A small slice of the problem:

Say a patient has a stable, chronic, condition, e.g. a healthy child with a small congenital heart defect. Periodic surveillance/follow-up for such typically includes an echocardiogram, priced at between $2-3,000. Medicaid pays only about 1/3 of the billed amount. The hospital eats the rest. So how do they make it pay? They do more echos by doing them more frequently.

How frequently is such a test is needed? Depends who you ask. If you poll 10 cardiologists you would likely get 3 saying "every 6 months", 5 saying"annually", 1 saying '"every 1-2 years" and one outlier saying, "only if and when there are signs of increased symptoms".

The standard at most Childrens' Hospitals, with the full backing of the hospital administration, has devolved to "every 6-12 months". And I can guarantee you that the echo will be done at the routine visit before the patient even sees the doctor, regardless of symptoms. KA-CHING!!

This contributed to my decision to retire when I did.

It bars ICE from taking illegals into custody at welfare offices, schools, and 'places of worship' which seems ripe for abuse.

That said, it represents progress in that it no longer demands a "path to citizenship." Even the Bush-Republicans know that dog won't hunt. Sure, citizenship is the next step beyond legalization, but even the immigration maximalists are recognizing limits.

Adam Swart, the CEO and founder of Crowds on Demand turned down a $20M offer to provide protesters for today's activities marking the 5th anniversary of Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga. death.

How much of your money do you suppose these "riot on demand" outfits get via NGO's?

I thought she’d be younger.
She looks just like her dad in the face.
She even has the same permanent bags under her eyes as Comey, Sr.

Apparently, she was the one who filed with the court to seal all of the Epstein files, and she was lead on the Diddy case that just went south.

Nepotism in the DOJ should be against the law.
You know she only got the job to begin with because of who her Dad is.

I hope so as it’s a gem. But lefties don’t want anyone to have nice things. I lived about 30 minutes south of there for years and I’ve been kinda surprised… I thought real estate prices in my old haunts would go up as the Palisades folks realized it would be hard to rebuild so they’d go a few minutes south along the coast and bid up home prices there. Not happening (yet)… if anything prices on single family homes have dipped slightly (sellers chopping $50K off to get offers… which is basically zero at those prices but still somewhat surprising)

127 In regard to Epstein, many are forgetting that there was difficulty in prosecuting him. Why? He didn't blackmail his rich friends he blackmailed the girls. He also made sure that when they went to parties with him that they were given drugs but not by him or Maxwell. Virginia was lured in with a promise of gaining a massage license. The girls were taped in sexual situations and told that they could face prostitution charges. Epsein was a pig who liked sex, money, and being around rich people.

Again, if there's nothing to Epstein, just release the unredacted search warrant affidavits for his residences, devices and accounts and the LE/IC dossier on him and his operation.

That's it, it would help us understand what he really was being investigated about, who he was associated with and what their assessment of him and his operation was.

So far Trump's strategy to use the higher courts to slap these judges down is working but it's a slow process.

And I don't know who has the ability to bring impeachment charges in the legislature but they need to do it asap. And keep doing it.

151 During that cabinet meeting last week when the Epstein case blew up, Pam Bondi said:

Or something close to that.
So many people were convinced the 10,000 hours were videos he’d recorded of his wealthy friends having sex with his harem.

Apparently that wasn’t the case at all and he was just a perverted horndog who spent a lot of time looking at child porn.

If you take Bondi’s word on that then there’s been a lot of misconceptions that led to the conspiracy theories about what Epstein was actually doing.

I still don’t know what to believe after a decade of this story.

247 Margo's Federalist piece adds context and details that make the events at the judicial conference far more horrifying than the initial stories I'd read.

Specifically, it can't be emphasized enough the sea change of long-standing policy and rules to assume, only for now, that government is acting in bad faith.

Defying literally the entire history of the judiciary in this country that always required the courts to accept the assumption that the government official was acting in good faith.

This is not a mere private political difference of opinion, it's a personal animus and bias not just tainting but covering in whole their rulings--not only evident in the orders against him but in the extraneous and improper findings against his motives in those orders--that disqualifies all of them under any reading of the rules of ethics

269 Senate Rescission Vote

The U.S. Senate approved a $9 billion rescission package aimed at cutting foreign aid and public broadcasting funding in a 51-48 vote, largely along party lines, with only two Republicans—Senators Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska—joining Democrats in opposition. The vote took place after a lengthy "vote-a-rama" session that lasted into the early hours of Thursday, July 17, 2025, and the package now heads back to the House for final approval before a Friday deadline.
Key details include:
The package initially proposed $9.4 billion in cuts, but $400 million in reductions targeting the HIV/AIDS relief program PEPFAR were removed after pushback from several Republican senators.
The bill includes approximately $8 billion in cuts to foreign assistance programs, including the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), and about $1 billion in reductions for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which supports public radio and television stations like NPR and PBS.
Republican Senator Mike Rounds of South Dakota supported the package after the White House agreed to redirect millions to tribal radio stations to prevent service inte

278 A small slice of the problem:

Say a patient has a stable, chronic, condition, e.g. a healthy child with a small congenital heart defect. Periodic surveillance/follow-up for such typically includes an echocardiogram, priced at between $2-3,000. Medicaid pays only about 1/3 of the billed amount. The hospital eats the rest. So how do they make it pay? They do more echos by doing them more frequently.

How frequently is such a test is needed? Depends who you ask. If you poll 10 cardiologists you would likely get 3 saying "every 6 months", 5 saying"annually", 1 saying '"every 1-2 years" and one outlier saying, "only if and when there are signs of increased symptoms".

The standard at most Childrens' Hospitals, with the full backing of the hospital administration, has devolved to "every 6-12 months". And I can guarantee you that the echo will be done at the routine visit before the patient even sees the doctor, regardless of symptoms. KA-CHING!!

This contributed to my decision to retire when I did.

280 I've been saying for a while now that Trump needs attorney's in these courts before these clown judges that don't fear a judge yelling at them.
Ones that have actually antagonized the judge to yell at them.

What I'm seeing is Trump is building that type of legal team.
They are scrupulously and precisely complying with the order, technically but not in spirit.
Which is driving these clown judges crazy.

Soon, very soon, a clown judge is going to scream, red-faced yelling, at the government lawyers.
And Trump's lawyers are going to smile and chuckle.

These clown judges just can't see that it is their over-the-top antics and rulings that are giving Trump his wins.

It is no coincidence that Roberts has sided with Trump on every ruling since that judicial conference ...

Actually, the structure makes it pretty easy to pass cuts.

Cuts that are purely budget related never have to be subject to the filibuster in the Senate.

Bare majorities. It just requires a budget and some political will. There's just been no political will in DC for any cuts for a while.

Taking out NPR and PP from the start in the first rescission package should make further rescissions easier, less prone to "i'll shoot the puppy" blackmail.

I think there is some 4d chess going on. With her firing today and the Comey and Brennan case heating up and the autopen stuff going on, I think there is a underlying connection other than just Dem's business as usual going on...

I don't think this version of Trump would be so blind sided with the Epstein stuff. He probably asked Day One for the scoop and was told what clustering cluster fuck is was. Let the Dem Coyote run off the cliff before discovering gravity. Beep, Beep, Mutherfuckers!

321 That article about the falling value of the Dollar overseas is a joke. The author, who is touted to be a "macroeconomist", stated that a lack of immigration would cause inflation in the US. He probably has a wall full of credentials from the Ivy League. These idiots don't understand that a weaker Dollar helps US exports. That, combined with Trump's successful reshoring and onshoring of manufacturing in the US means more jobs and more goods produced. It's all anti-Trumpism all the way down.

From above, "Federal judge James Boasberg advised Chief Justice John Roberts and some two dozen other judges that his D.C. colleagues were “concern[ed] that the Administration would disregard rulings of federal courts leading to a constitutional crisis,” according to a memorandum obtained exclusively by The Federalist...."

Golly, gee!

Anyway, few weeks ago I saw a program on TV about a CIA secret program, MK-ULTRA, reportedly ran from the 1950's through the early 1960's, dealing with mind-control, i.e., "The Manchurian Candidate" like. The program was headed by an American chemist and "spymaster," Sidney Gottlieb, and included LSD dosing.

I've been quite ignorant about the old CIA spy program & its ramifications even though MANY articles, books, movies have been done about it, Gottlieb, and also Dr. Frank Olson. (i.e., Frank Olson Project dot com).

James "Whitey" Bulger was a project lab rat! (PBS: 'After learning of Whitey Bulger LSD tests, juror has regrets,' Nation, Feb 18, 2020).

Further, Judge James E. Boasberg had been involved in a US District Court suit brought forth by Frank Olson's sons, Eric and Nils Olson. Continued -
