The Morning Report — 7/18/25

Good morning kids. There are a few things I'd like to hit on and you'll either be pleased or peeved that the Epstein situation is not among them. First and foremost, as the majority of the nation is rallying behind President Trump in his push to deport as many illegal aliens as possible and seal the border to try and stop the invasion, we have this insanity coming not from the Left but from behind our own lines, as it were:

America Is Not A ‘Nation Of Immigrants’ . . . This insidious slogan is once again being used by Republicans to justify another amnesty bill. . .
. . . group of congressional Republicans have joined Democrats in an effort to push through an amnesty bill by performing two cheap tricks: repeat the tired trope that we’re a “nation of immigrants” and redefine “amnesty” as “dignity.”
The bipartisan bill, dubbed the DIGNITY Act, was introduced this week by Republican Florida Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar, who has lately been on a media tour to promote what she calls, falsely, “a revolutionary bill that offers the solution to our immigration crisis.”

The solution to the immigration crisis and oddly enough this filthy backstabbing slag is correct, it goes beyond the obvious disaster of invading hordes of illegal migrant wetbacks but of those we allow in legally who a very large percentage of do not come here to become Americans and embrace our nation, society and culture, and that our politicians do not demand they do so as was done in years past. The solution is the mass deportation of every foreigner on our soil who is here illegally regardless of how long they've been here (as if every second evading arrest and removal is some sort of credit towards being awarded citzenship) as well as the severe and radical curtailment of legal immigration until those that are here already are assimilated. How that can come about is indeed a thorny issue. But here is a start that President Trump instituted and that should be spread far and wide to every corner of our society, not just the government:

DESIGNATING ENGLISH AS THE OFFICIAL LANGUAGE: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order designating English as the official language of the United States.
The Order rescinds a Clinton-era mandate that required agencies and recipients of federal funding to provide extensive language assistance to non-English speakers.
This designation specifically allows agencies to keep current policies and provide documents and services in other languages, but encourages new Americans to adopt a national language that opens doors to greater opportunities.
Agencies will have flexibility to decide how and when to offer services in languages other than English to best serve the American people and fulfill their agency mission.
UNIFYING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE: It is long past time English is recognized as the official language of the United States.

Bilingualism should be ended in the schools and really everywhere. When my grandparents and mother came here, you best believe they had to learn English in order to not just survive but to thrive. Sure Hungarian, Yiddish, Polish, Russian and Lithuanian were spoken in the home, but they stressed English to the kids and grandkids.

Damn it all to hell, No More G-Damn Amnesty bullshit, by whatever name the GOP wants to call it. And that's why I'm cheering this story on, regardless of the chances of success given the goofiness of South Carolina's electoral system.

TAMPA, Florida — Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is a “puppet for the Democrats,” the senator’s primary challenger, former South Carolina Lt. Gov. André Bauer, told Breitbart News during an appearance at the Turning Point Student Action Summit over the weekend. . .
. . .“We have a real opportunity tonight to knock off one of the vipers of the Senate,” he said. “It’s going to be unbelievable year for the president … because Thom Tillis is going to be gone, McConnell’s going to be gone…”
“The biggest creature of them all in the swamp is Lindsey Graham. Let us not forget, he’s the one that said Joe Biden’s one of the finest men he ever met. He voted 70 percent of the time in ’22 with Biden — 70 percent he voted with the Democrats,” Bauer stressed. “This a guy that confirmed Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Sotomayor. He’s not looking out for our interests. He’s a puppet for the Democrats.”

Not mentioned is the fact that Lindsay Graham, aka Grahamnesty was the point man on the so-called Gang of 8 amnesty push from several years ago and no doubt will be cheerleading this House bill if it is given the oxygen to move forward, G-d forbid.

Now here's an idea I can get behind: Repeal HART-CELLER - Trump's immigration win marks a turning point—but critics argue it's time to end Hart-Celler and drastically cut both legal and illegal migration to preserve America's identity.

This is the reality of modern American immigration. Ungrateful third-worlders come here just “looking for a better life” while actively subverting the way of life that made America great in the first place. The vast majority of our legal migrants are bad houseguests.
Every 9/11 hijacker was a legal immigrant, to put things in perspective. America simply needs fewer foreigners on our soil. We definitely don’t need an influx of naturalized citizens from the third world. It is simply insane that the children of illegal immigrants born in America are treated as if they are American citizens.
Birthright citizenship is an absurd policy that makes a mockery of the consent of the governed. American citizenship is valuable. It is a privilege. We should not give it away so easily. . .
. . . Many of the Hispanics flying Mexican flags during the LA anti-ICE rallies are technically American citizens, and yet they despise America. This is untenable. There is no place for hostile aliens and communist activists in America. These people need to go. The source of the problem is the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, commonly known as Hart-Celler. This law got rid of the National Origins Formula that had previously restricted non-European immigration to the United States and allowed for the “chain migration” that currently allows a single immigrant to create a “foothold” by which dozens of their family members eventually come to America. . .
. . . The aim of Hart-Celler was not the good of the American people but rather concern for the migrants. It was oriented toward helping the “wretched refuse” of the earth find its way to America’s shores. This immigration policy has gone on for far too long. Today, 90% of our immigrants are from the third world. Moreover, there are 80+ million Americans who would not be here if it were not for legal mass immigration.

Let's see Lindsay Graham drop his drawers and defecate on Teddy Kennedy's grave by sponsoring this bill, despicable light-in-the-loafers crooked bastard. It's why I feel if Elon Musk really wanted to make a difference, instead of this ridiculous third party pipe dream, he should spend every dime he's got on primarying all the RINOs like Grahamnesty, Thune, Cornyn, Murkowski, Collins and all the rest in both chambers of Congress.

Make the GOP the Grand Old Party again and not the Grifting Oleaginous Parasites they are now.

Elsewhere, we have Communist fever breaking out on both coasts. In California, we have Newsom and Bass using the Pacific Palisades fire as cover to make up some bullshit excuse to confiscate the land from homeowners who want to rebuild and turn it all into low income housing.

In California, some radical far-left ideas don't seem to be drawing the applause they were expected to draw.
Which brings us to one state Sen. Ben Allen, a Santa Monica statehouse senator who put out a proposed law so stinky, so stanky, so vile, he skedaddled backward as fast as his little legs would carry him.
At a time when the County of Los Angeles has witheld rebuilding permits for all but seven of the 17,000 homeowners who lost their homes in the fires they caused, Allen's SB 549 authorized the state to go around buying up burned properties in fire-ravaged areas, including Altadena and Pacific Palisades, and converting those lots into crime-box high-rise apartment projects for the benefit of the homeless and the "justice-involved individuals."
It made sense from a leftist point of view. Many leftists have gone into low-income housing construction -- and could potentially benefit from construction of crime-box apartments to house bums and criminals who belong in jail.
That would be quite a reward for the bums, given that they set so many of these fires, and an incentive to them to set more fires, given that the prize is now beachfront property.

And not to be outdone, we have this glittering nugget of strychnine encrusted plutonium:

Zohran Mamdani, the Democrat candidate for New York City mayor, faced a wave of backlash after a video clip of him advocating for “the abolition of private property” gained traction online. The footage was initially shared by the pro-MAGA Twitter account “End Wokeness” and subsequently amplified by prominent Republicans, including Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Representative Elise Stefanik (R-NY). . . Other critics, including Amy Kremer and Congressman Mike Lawler (R-NY), expressed alarm at Mamdani’s comments. Lawler described the proposal as “bat shit insane” and urged voters to reject Mamdani at the ballot box in November, while Kremer accused him of wanting to seize personal property, including homes and apartments. The New York Young Republican Club referred to Mamdani as a “thoroughbred Marxist” and a “discount Bolshevik.”Notably, Mamdani also supports the abolition of prisons and defunding the police. Born in Uganda, he is a member of Shia Islam’s extremist “Twelver” sect, and only became a U.S. citizen in 2018.

The phrase Islam's extremist sect is a complete misnomer. Islam itself as the past 1500 years have shown is extreme in and of itself, as its main tenets calling for the conquest of the world and conversion and/or death of all unbelieevers who do not submit. The word Islam itself (contrary to the propaganda does not mean peace, it means Submission.) Seal the border lest we be overrun by Momdanis. Unless it's too late. . .

Beyond that as you can see in the Civil War section we still have Leftists targeting their political rivals on the Right with violence and threats of violence as well as the urging on of violence against ICE and so on and so on and scooby dooby dooby. . .

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 June figures surpassed economists’ expectations of a modest 0.2 percent rebound. Gains were seen across several sectors, including a 0.9 percent rise in clothing and accessory stores, a 0.6 percent increase in restaurant sales, and a 0.4 percent boost for online retailers. Even when excluding autos and parts, retail sales rose by 0.5 percent overall.

The Trump administration announced new tariffs in April and May. While many economists and anti-tariff critics of the administration insisted that U.S. consumers would bear the burden of these tariffs, declining import prices suggest that they are actually being paid for by foreign producers. Over the past three months, import prices from China are down at an annualized rate of 3.2 percent, suggesting that Chinese exporters have cut prices in response to the tariffs.

Posted by: LinusVanPelt at July 18, 2025 07:41 AM (WdMlw)

31 There's no reason to push this "Dignity Act." There are laws and processes already in place that permit immigrants, illegally here or not, to apply for citizenship. All they have to do is paperwork, in their home country and wait for approval.

They'll either get approved, for some specific period of time at the end which they can either apply for citizenship or go home and reapply for another temporary visa. Time limits vary.

Apparently many immigrants can't read or write. Even in their own language and at home. But that's not a reason to give the 10's of millions of them here amnesty.

Graham is up for reelection next year. He'll likely steer clear of glomming onto any amnesty push. He's in the "I'm really a conservative, guys" phase of campaigning. The one that expires upon reelection. His commercials around here practically proclaim him as Trump's right hand man.

6 questions for the idiots at the Wall Street Journal:

1. How on earth did you just suddenly find a letter from 2003?

2. Who gave it to you? When? What were the terms?

3. Why didn’t you publish the “letter” in full?

4. President Trump’s always been known for writing personal letters by hand. Can you cite a single example of him sending a typewritten note?

5. He is also known for his straightforward and direct writing style (just like his speaking style). Can you cite one (1) other example of him writing in whimsical riddles like this “letter” you suddenly found?

6. Don’t you find it odd that this “letter” magically appears now -- not before 2016, 2020, or 2024 -- but right when the Democrats are trying to weaponize “Epstein” against Trump?

Cancelling my WSJ subscription. Absolutely disgraceful article.

Is this retard willing to claim that NPR was broadcasting to the people of Central Texas, particularly the Mystic Camp about the incoming flash floods?

I don't think I have voluntarily listened to any OTA radio broadcasts in the past two decades. I was an early adopter of RealAudio and while in Dallas used to be an All Day Listener to KSFO back when Officer Vick, Lee Rogers and Melanie Morgan were doing their morning program (and I believe that Lee Rogers was living in Arizona at that time).

Can't recall in thirty years when I saw or heard a local radio or TV broadcast.

In 2024, the median wait time for medical procedures in Canada reached an average of 30 weeks, which includes 15 weeks from a general practitioner referral to a specialist and another 15 weeks from the specialist appointment to treatment.

Not new. Susie Wiles was trending late last week or earlier this week on X as she is a long-time friend/colleague of Pam Bondi. People at the time were calling for both Susie Wiles and Pam Bondi to be fired, since they speculated that the reason Trump had not fired Pam Bondi was because Susie Wiles had recommended that he not do it.

131 They may not realize it, or care, but the left and some on the right have managed to conspire together on this Epstein shit to take a stab at Trump in the hopes he'll step down.

This is the smart use of military power and something we should have been doing in Iraq and 'Stan.

211 Homeland Security
@DHSgov

Odalis Jhonatan Martinez-Velasquez, a MALE illegal alien from Mexico, was placed into ICE’s male detention center in accordance with the President’s Executive Order and for the safety of women in ICE custody.

Biden-appointed U.S. District Judge Amy Baggio recently ordered the release of Velasquez—ignoring the rule of law and promoting gender ideology fanaticism.

On January 20, President Donald J. Trump signed Executive Order of Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government, prohibiting DHS from detaining males in women’s detention centers. Velasquez is no exception.

Almost every European western nation has been conquered by illegals and the immigrants who get into government positions and then set policy to cater to illegals. UK is the first to fall, with the majority of major city Mayors now Muslim. But Germany and France are right there as well.

And the US is not far behind, especially after the mass illegal invasion from January 2021 to January 2025. And all the immigrants like Ilhan Omar and others who have gotten into influential positions in government and have been working to destroy the country from within.

You can buy it with EBT cards and, since everybody needs laundry detergent, it can be exchanged for drugs easily.

It’s a little less convenient then bills in your wallet, but as a form of exchange it’s quite clever, actually.

Also, according to open sources, he owned a newspaper there and contributed to big companies, and facilitated Jewish immigration from the USSR.

Carrot and stick. One way or another - paying people not to work will come to an end. We as a society can do this the easier way, or it will be done the hard way. Able bodied people need to have a job. There’s yer Dignity.

They have purposely created an artificial economy, where millions don’t or won’t work, and millions more imported to work for slave wages. Remove those perverse, artificial incentives. You’ll see things come around very quickly.

None of this would have been possible without a phony baloney “reserve currency” status, mind you. Our privilege has long been a weakness, or used that way. The one thing they can’t paper over is monetary inflation, and $38 trillion in national government debt.

Quick Grok search:

Newark, New Jersey: In 2024, Newark became the largest U.S. city to allow 16- and 17-year-olds to vote in school board elections, starting in April 2024. This move was described as the most significant effort to lower the voting age in the U.S. since 1971.

Maryland: Takoma Park was the first U.S. city to lower the voting age to 16 for local elections in 2013, followed by other Maryland cities like Greenbelt, Hyattsville, Riverdale Park, Cheverly, Mount Rainier, and Chevy Chase. However, Glenarden, Maryland, briefly lowered the voting age to 16 in 2016 but reversed it a year later.

California: Berkeley and Oakland allow 16-year-olds to vote in school board elections. In 2016, San Francisco voters narrowly rejected a measure to lower the voting age for all local elections.

Vermont: Brattleboro permits 16-year-olds to vote in local elections.

The report of three little girls being found alive in a hollow tree one mile from Camp Mystic appears to stem from a specific article claiming that three girls, aged 8–10, were discovered after surviving nearly 10 days following the devastating floods in Central Texas on July 4, 2025.

According to the source, the girls—named Emily Rivera, Zoey Nash, and Hope Lin—were found inside the hollow trunk of a massive oak tree, having survived by collecting rainwater and applying knowledge from a pre-camp wilderness safety drill. The article describes their discovery as a “miracle of endurance, faith, and sisterhood,” with the girls using wet towels and a broken shoelace to secure their shelter.

However, this account originates from a single source, and its credibility has been questioned, as other reports, including posts on X, mention only two girls being found alive in a tree, with no official confirmation of three girls in a hollow tree.

334 >> One more rant on that Trevor Project article:

It suggests that children who do not fit rigid gender stereotypes—like a boy who prefers ballet or a girl who prefers sports—may actually be transgender, with an internal “gender identity” misaligned with their bodies.

This has *always* been the worst part of the gender ideology crap. Male/female already was already 'on the spectrum' (to use modern terminology) so that it was perfectly fine if women/girls were masculine and men/boys were feminine -- they could still maintain their core sex identity. Obviously, it sometimes aligned with same-sex attraction, but it wasn't always.

What the gender ideology has done is hard-coded traditional, narrower gender roles as the norm so that they can claim all that space outside it as theirs, thus normalizing deviancy at the extremes.

“Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better.

When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity.

To assent to obvious lies is in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded and even destroyed.

A society of emasculated liars is easy to control.”

That is actually true. I dive with sharks all the time. Sharks want fattier meat than humans. The vast majority of sharks biting humans occur in murky water less than four feet deep, where the shark bites to see if it is food, and the second most common occurrence is sharks seeing a surfer profile at the surface and mistaking them for turtles or seals, and striking them from below.

This is correct.

The reason Soros has/had been so successful in creating Shithole USA is that he understood the need to have people who believe as he did in the right places to "effect change".

His greatest victories came from putting puppet DAs and Secs of State into place in various states where he got his desires matched without going through the trouble of passing laws.

Musk should be smart enough to see the passing laws with Trump friendly GOPers is a much more stable and permanent solution to the changes that he wants.

419 I'd rather read the news here than anywhere else to prevent my own internal jihad. Thank you. I basically scan headlines to see if we are under attack then am done for the day.

In the UK, Epping to be exact...there is a hotel for the illegal darlings. I guess riots broke out and an anti-immigrant protestor was hit by a police van. Some people are po'd because a 14yo girl was asked by a barbarian if she wanted to have "leetle Jamaican babies." This on top of the Ethiopian who had sex offences, etc, was arrested then back on the streets. They are called "boat migrants" as they arrive from France. Tip of the iceberg.

People who protest illegals in Epping are the problem, you understand.

Yesterday I read of a man whose toddler boy was knocked out of his arms by another "youth" near an escalator in the UK. White men beat the snot out of him on the escalator as the baby cried. I hope someone helped the baby boy. So they have had enough, but the government supports this cultural invasion. And no one can do much to stop it.

Used to walk my dog at a city park that included a dog park, 6 soccer fields, and a golf course (divided by lovely stretches of meadow). Saw coyotes all the time. Sometimes they would crouch about 30 yds away and just. . . watch. Heard from other dog people that there were at least 11 living nearby, probably more. They also use the bike trails to go to other nearby neighborhood

Haven't forgotten. The 2016 GOP nomination process revealed that they were all beholden by big donors to endorse mass immigration, though some certainly wanted that already (Jeb). There was an interviewed w/Scott Walker where he admitted as much: he had to curb immigration control talk because his biggest donor was against it. Heck, not a single one of the 15 running against Trump moved even a tiny bit to the middle claim the large space between the others and Trump.

What has been wonderful is watching Rubio as SoS. Get a much better idea of what he is capable of when he's not pleasing donors or voters, and with the strong support of a POTUS who has clear directives but stands back and lets him do his job.

"Anyone who murders, shaves mustaches, humiliates, and rapes cannot be negotiated with, and the only thing that can be done is to eliminate al-Julani," he added, referring to the Syrian leader's previous nom de guerre, Mohammad al-Jolani.
