The Morning Report

The Morning Report — 8/4/25

Good morning kids. Hope you all had a nice relaxing weekend so now as we scan the links and ponder current events, I'm reminded of what the late great Rush Limbaugh of blessed memory labeled "The Daily Soap Opera," that is what the establishment media was reporting and the way in which it was reported.

That said, boy does this item really hit home, especially now that Tulsi Gabbard is putting the klieg lights on the intel community and its attempted and coup against Then-candidate and now twice-elected president Donald Trump (thrice if you include the stolen 2020 election).

Former Democrat Party presidential hopeful and current Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is giving the CIA an enema, and she's putting the hose where it is most needed: in the sketchy, unofficial offices of Operation Mockingbird, the CIA's not-so-secret department dedicated to propaganda. . . The CIA has been bribing/threatening/installing journalists to do their bidding since the beginning of the Cold War. It is believed they had/have roughly 400 journalists, news reporters, and publishers throughout the world, writing what the CIA tells them to write. . . Tulsi Gabbard believes Operation Mockingbird isn't merely still alive and kicking, but that it's being used to slander President Trump. In my opinion, it is also being used to spread globalist codswallop.) Even better, Gabbard is dedicated to tearing it down.

While it certainly is alarming and disgusting that for such a long time right up until the present day IC operatives infiltrated the national and global media to pump out propaganda, irrespective of the original intention to counter/thwart Soviet/communist influence. The composition of the pavement of the road to hell is something we are or by now should be well aware – given the societal/cultural and governmental corruption of individuals and institutions that many events over the past few years have exposed, one has to ask, were these CIA embeds even necessary?

For example, were Lois Lerner and John Koskinen at the IRS ordered to subvert 501-C3 status of conservative Tea Party or other non-Democrat Leftist groups or simply because they were innately Leftists did they do it all on their own? Were everyone from the editorial boards of the Times and WaPo, the anchors at CNN to late night talk show stooges given marching orders from the CIA or did they rail against everyone and everything non-Democrat all on their own?

All of that said, I think back to late January of 1968 when in the wake of the complete failure of the NVA/Vetcong Tet Offensive, Walter Cronkite took to the airwaves of CBS to unilaterally declare to the American people that we had lost the Vietnam War, despite the facts on the ground that indicated it was a disastrous debacle for the communists. So whose war was Vietnam? Wasn't it the Dems' and the CIA's?

Poll after poll over the past several years indicates that trust in the media is digging its way to China. Gabbard's revelations, assuming they are given honest coverage (ha!) are not exactly going to help. That said, she is doing yeoman's work in exposing the 2015-present coup against President Trump. How or whether her revelations about Operation Mockingbird will help or even hinder her efforts to expose the corruption/treason of the Deep State is TBD. Surely and lamentably, the perpetrators of those crimes will more than likely go unpunished let alone be prosecuted.

Meanwhile, from someone who had the gall to believe he can appear in public wearing a MAGA hat ejected from a stadium, to Colorado's doughy fey governor punishing his own cops from working with the federal government to anti-Semitic mobs attempting to swarm NYC's Grand Central Station, the beat, and beat downs go on.

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!

The state law, signed by Democrat Governor Jared Polis in May, “prohibits local government employees, including law enforcement, from sharing identifying information about people with federal immigration officials,” Fox News reported. The Department of Justice has sued the state of Colorado, arguing that the policies violate the U.S. Constitution and federal immigration laws. The incident unfolded on June 5, when Mesa County Sheriff’s Deputy Alexander Zwinck pulled over Caroline Dias-Goncalves, a 19-year-old Brazilian nursing student after she allegedly drove too close to a semi-truck. Dias-Goncalves was reportedly released with a warning after about 20 minutes, but ICE agents followed up and arrested her for an expired visa shortly thereafter.

I don't believe the CIA has much work to do to force mainstream media to do their bidding.

There was probably a tiny bit of arm twisting for deplatforming conservatives and instituting the TRUTH Ministries. The arm twisting was probably a few beers with the guy from the CIA blurting out "Hey, you know what would be a good idea?"

24 Overall, it falls under “manufactured consent”.

It makes perfect sense in principle for the government to want its position, its policies to be put out there.

The press, the media, is the only way to do that. Over many decades it has morphed or degenerated into an incestuous sort of relationship. They’ve had their thumb on the scales and their fingers in the pie to a much greater degree than anyone thought possible.

I realize she's something of a nutter, but Laura Loomer has been on a tear outing deep state ticks placed in FedGov by Obama or *biden that are, even now, part of Trump's administration. Whether they were overlooked, shuffled around previously to hide them or whatever, they're still there.

And some are being 'vetted' by administration officials for appointment positions in the IC/DoD/DoS. Just the other day one of Brennen's apparatchiks was identified as still working in the CIA.

Obviously some of this is horseshit, but IIRC no less than 3 or 4 high level aids have been outed as Obama or *biden loyalists or deep state operatives working against Trump's administration from the inside.

One thing that always ticked me off about the news is they would run some sort of sad story about someone being hurt or killed and then call for some sort of government solution.

34 The CIA didn’t really need an Operation Mockingbird for Russiagate, or any Trump scandal.

Our media masters ate it all up with a spoon just to be able to get Orange Man Bad.

Natasha Bertrand comes to mind immediately, but you can include anybody at the Washington Post or NY Times as on board with anything the FBI or CIA fed them.

I can recall very few reporters who bucked that trend; John Solomon & his colleague Sara (whose last name I forget right now), Matt Taibi, Glenn Grenwald, Mollie Hemingway, Miranda Devine from the NY Post, and Kimberley Strassel from the WSJ.

They should all be applauded, including the names I didn’t mention, for sticking to their guns and not buying the B.S. being handed to them.

35 Isn’t there a mechanism around this quorum business for legislators? It’s one thing for a snowstorm to prevent lawmakers from meeting.

Playing hooky because they gots their panties in a twist is different. Declare a quorum and pass all their favorite bills that the truant miscreants don’t want. The rules of order should be spring loaded to ensure that either side will crawl over broken glass to ensure attendance, no? Just what are these people paid to do?

47 As long as Russia continues to wage war in the Ukraine, there is not a chance a Trump administration will agree to such a thing. When ISS goes, Russia will be on its own in space. And it is not likely it will be a major player, based on almost everything we presently know about its space program.

ISS is scheduled to end in five years (2030). China will then possess the only staffed space station. Absent some progress on Starship and Mars, the criticism of Russian space programs might also be true of NASA. Go SpaceX!

109 One thing that struck me, is how everything is run backwards, upside down, inside out.

During World War II Enrico Fermi was prohibited from flying. Technically speaking, even though employed as a Manhattan Project physicist, he was an “enemy alien”, strictly speaking. His back and forth movements between universities and project locations were done by train.

My point is American citizens now have people crawling up their ass with a microscope in order to fly, all manner of inconveniences and petty acts of injustice, confiscation of their shampoo bottles and fingernail clippers.

Previous administrations were flying illegal aliens around the country unvetted, no valid form of ID other than their arrest warrants for removal “deemed” acceptable as ID.

Maybe they need to look at that. Not an American citizen? Not here legally? No planes, no flying for you. Seems perfectly reasonable in hindsight. Why do we put up with all this atrocious shit? The 9/-11-2001 hijackers were all foreigners and mostly “overstays” and similar.

Doesn't matter. The Party already called her out as a Nazi. Ilsa the She-Wolf of the SS is blacklisted now, whatever her voter registration says. She's an Einsatzbooben oberfuhrer leading the "unbridled shift toward Whiteness," and they simply can't be platforming that now, can they?

But as long as she's generating huge amounts of revenue for fashion retailers, I think she'll be OK.

There were two ways to address jihadi terror

A) A permanent police state where Americans continually lose their freedom

B) Focus the Nat Sec apparatus on Muslims and kill so many jihadis they eventually give it up or can no longer conduct operations

Shrub choose option A. And the dark humor in this is we were told that focusing our Nat Sec resources on Muslims would be the end of America but the Nat Sec state did so against Christians anyway...

Leftist Group Tied To Mexican Consulate Pushed Banks To Lend To Illegal Aliens

Help me figure this one out: We have Gen α and Gen Z whining about not being able to afford housing yet illegal aliens have everything except the regulator's approval for them to snatch up real estate.

How is it that illegals can afford homes, but not adults under 35?

Is it because the illegals pool their money? Is it really a drug money laundering operation? Do lien holders like the idea that they can foreclose on property and vehicles when the borrower gets deported? How does one manage to get a credit score without the usual credit? Does KYC only apply to SSN and ITIN holders?

Isn't part of the ID process so that the government can keep close tabs on their livestock? How is it that illegal aliens are exempt from this invasion of privacy?

168 I really need to go through the three-day NTSB hearing on the fatal mid-air that occurred at Reagan between PAT25 and the passenger jet because things keep emerging that seem to really paint Army aviation in an even worse light.

It seems since 1982, the Army and Sikorsky have known that all UH-60s have a discrepancy in their barometric altimeters. With fuel tanks on the sponsons, it can be a 40ft error at 80 kts and 50ft at 100 kts.

Now back to the PIC and IP of PAT25. At the start of the mission on Route 1, the PIC reported she was feeling a little dizzy but was okay. And the IP allowed the check ride to continue. The hearing brought out that the PIC has had one case of vertigo before. Let that sink in.

Not sure if I want to watch the click bait clip with the title 'NTSB accuses the FAA of not testing controllers for alcohol.' Sounds more like Lloyd Bridges from Airplane!.

204 The best attack the reeee-tards could have made against AE would have been a coordinated effort to say "well that's lame" and then ignore it.

Because they don't really have a beef with AE, they are rationalizing their dysfunctional way to deal with a damaged amygdala.

They literally schedule time to go out as a group and scream into the air over God only knows what. There is a reason why the word "hysteria" has its etymological roots in the Greek word for womb. Some people don't have that internal dialogue, they work out life through complex journey of emotions. When there isn't drama, they are bored; when bored they drink or pick fights; when they pick fights they get rewarded by their dopamine.

222 I’m probably wrong but I believe Trump’s not firing Powell because a prez doesn’t have clear statutory authority to do so… Powell has a 10-year term and the Fed is supposed to be at least semi-independent. If Trump tried to fire him I’m sure some DOJ lawyer would have an opinion that he could and I’m even more sure some judge would IMMEDIATELY say he can’t… the litigation would last until Powell terms out which is soon so why bother?

Trump is giving Powell room. Trump fired the Labor Wench because she colluded with Party stewards and hedge funds to manipulate key economic figures that influence the Fed when they mess with interest rates.

Trump is basically telling Powell: "Look, your excuse is that the rates are set by the reported economic numbers. We have been telling you that you are an idiot to use those numbers as opposed to looking out your window and seeing how life really is. Now that you know that your numbers are/were cooked, you have no excuses. Do your damned job and lower interest rates"

“There’s women in our party that are really sick and tired of the way men treat Republican women... [The GOP] has turned its back on the workers and just regular Americans.”

“I don’t know if the Republican Party is leaving me, or if I’m kind of not relating to the Republican Party as much anymore,” Greene told the Daily Mail. “The course that it’s on, I don’t want to have anything to do with it.”

GOP pols are against DEI until it's their ox that gets gored, then they want diversity, equality, inclusion. Plus, MTG hates that Jasmine Crockett is so talented at exposing the incompetence of GOP House members.

lately she has been very different- she’s one of the few, GOP, along with Rep Massie, speaking up for the children of Palestine. Bet she ends up leaving the Republicans to be an Independent.

The Fed is a collection of twelve banks that have balance sheets and income statements and operate kinda like private banks but with one critical difference: they fund themselves by issuing liabilities that don't bear interest. Dollars! And by law, those liabilities are legal tender.

No state funeral in the Rotunda for her, after its revealed that she was the maestro of J6.

279 >>I don't understand the shrieking about AE and Sydney Sweeney. What do the purple haired lunatics hope to accomplish? Obvious insanity isn't very effective in changing minds.

American Eagle used the Madonna playbook: openly tweak a demographic so that their outrage (and if done well, protests) provides a ton of free publicity.

Harder to recognize since it was not run on the typically favored targets, such as white men and Christians (e.g., Bud Lite/Dylan Mulvaney was intended to do). They ran it on the woke feminist mob, who not only are used to being unchallenged culturally, but could not be any more humorless if they tried.

Yes, AE knew that Sweeney + tagline would generate outrage with woke, inspire purchases from the non-woke, and they've played it beautifully. Sweeney in particularly has been wonderfully unapologetic while remaining charming (i.e. not fighting back, just being chill).

280 My Nepalese roomate in school used to dip his fingers in the dahl we would make to eat at home.

He was a funny guy and his reply was "You'll never burn your tounge eating with your fingers!"

I explained pizza to him. He said it was custom where he lived. I told him he didn't live there anymore.

He stopped dpong that soon after when he talked to his Dad. He said his Dad told him to grow the fuck up in Nepalese terms.

He really was a great guy and had a lightning quick wit.

This is from NPR

“And contrary to Trump's repeated claims that tariffs will boost the economy, experts believe the economy will get weaker, with higher inflation and slower job growth. And the weak labor market report last week will also likely spur more discussions about whether the economy could even enter a recession.”

From above, "The composition of the pavement of the road to hell is something we are or by now should be well aware – given the societal/cultural and governmental corruption of individuals and institutions that many events over the past few years have exposed, one has to ask, were these CIA embeds even necessary?"

My dad, like Muldoon's, fought in WW2 for years, from Africa to Italy, and was a patriot til the very day he died. He said little about war, didn't trust Cronkite's reporting one bit about Vietnam, and said the UN would be our undoing.

To the present matter, forward several decades, and just as points of reference, does the hierarchy of politics and money truly believe the U.S. Constitution IS simply framework after meeting a few specific requirements which have kept citizens believing? Article I, Section 2 outlines the composition of the House of Representatives, including how representation is determined (based on population). Article I, Section 3 establishes the Senate, specifying that each state has two senators.)
