The Morning Report

The Morning Report — 9/22/25

Good morning kids. With everything going on I had meant to pause last week and recognize the 9th anniversary of the Morning Report. Wow, 9 years?!

The recognition is not about me, it's about all of you who come here each morning and weigh in with your thoughts about what's going on and on my observations about same. The running joke those who write "I've only read the comments," but more often than not, reading just the comments is enough to make the uninformed that much better for doing so! And for that I thank each and every one of you.

First and foremost, I thank Ace for giving me the incredible opportunity to let me do my thing as it were each and every weekday morning. I also want to extend a big thank you to the Cobs for all their support and comradeship. The last couple of years have been challenging personally for me as I continue to deal with some serious health issues, which thankfully I seem to be handling well. I cannot thank you enough for all of your prayers and good wishes and despite all the insanity out there, the ability to do this every day actually has kept me sane.

And with that said, let us get right to the insanity, first up is the western world and one of the wellsprings from whence Western Civilization emerged from the barbarism and savagery of the Dark Ages – Britain and its former colonies continuing their mass surrender to Islam:

The United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia announced on Sunday they now recognize Palestine as a state, despite accusations that it would be rewarding the Islamist Hamas terrorists behind the October 7th terror attacks on Israel.
One day before the beginning of the Rosh Hashanah Jewish New Year celebrations, British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer announced that the UK would recognize Palestine statehood. The move pre-empted plans from France to back the measure this week at the United Nations General Assembly meeting in New York. . .

While bestial savage Muslim hordes rampage across the UK and a number of European countries murdering and raping innocent women and children as they go, with governments imprisoning anyone for the more heinous crime of protesting it, Starmerbahnfuhrer has the fucking gall to reward a fictitious people, with a fictitious history – their actual history of bloody butchery of Jews and Christians in Israel and across the world in general, with statehood after conducting the bloodiest mass-slaughter of Jews since the end of the Second World War.

Two state solution my ass. The ultimate goal is to drive out or slaughter every Jew and every Christian that lives within the state of Israel. And in point of fact the ultimate goal of Islam is to convert/subjugate and or slaughter every non-Muslim on planet earth, which has been its goal for close to 1500 years and counting.

Palestine was born in a KGB conference room with Yasser Arafat, for the sole purpose of using the issue to drive America out of the Middle East and place the region and its oil in the Soviet sphere of influence.

. . . “So, today, to revive the hope of peace for the Palestinians and Israelis, and a two-state solution, the United Kingdom formally recognises the State of Palestine.” Starmer denied that this would represent a “reward” for Hamas, saying that his push for a two-state solution would be the “exact opposite of [Hamas’s] hateful vision,” as it would ultimately require the terror group to give up control of Gaza. Turning to Israel, the PM accused Jerusalem of conducting a “relentless and increasing bombardment of Gaza,” adding: “The starvation and devastation are utterly intolerable. Tens of thousands have been killed, including thousands as they tried to collect food and water. This death and destruction horrifies all of us. It must end.”

As colleague, co-blogger and co-podcastulator CBD and I have noted on the podcast and in our respective columns many times it is quite likely that Westminster Abbey will be turned into another Hagia Sophia perhaps some time in the next 20 years or so, ditto Notre Dame and perhaps every cathedral across Western Europe.

And as we await that nightmare scenario, we still must endure this right here in the US of A.

A Nashua country club where a wedding was taking place turned into a war zone when a gunman opened fire while declaring “Free Palestine”. One man is reportedly dead and a number of others are wounded in the attack that took place in the restaurant at the Sky Meadow Country Club. There was a wedding at the country club at the time and the couple did not appear to be Jewish. There’s no apparent reason why it would be the target of a terrorist attack, but that’s what happens when the ‘intifada’ gets globalized. The attack could have been worse, but one of the men on the scene smashed a chair over the shooter’s head.

Not that I want any kind of attack like this but if only it took place at the whites-only country club where US Senator Sheldon Whorehouse still maintains his VIP membership. If he had surrendered it, no doubt he dons boot black dresses up as a lawn jockey and only enters late at night when no one's looking.

Of course Islamophobia is defined as an irrational fear of Islam. So we better get our heads examined – before they get lopped off with a rusty hacksaw:

While we are busy fighting with each other in this country (Left and Right), you may not have noticed that one Muslim-dominant community in Michigan is trying to impose its values on its residents and destroy our own:
A street once named to honor a Revolutionary War hero has now been partly rebranded for a man critics link to Hezbollah. That culture clash came to a boil not just on the pavement but inside Dearborn’s city hall on Wednesday, September 10 – where the mayor stunned residents by telling a local taxpayer he wasn’t welcome in his own hometown after the man criticized the renaming of a portion of Warren Avenue to honor a controversial figure in Arab-American culture, Osama Siblani. (Michigan News Source.) . . . This is not the first controversy that Dearborn has experienced. And given the determination to bring in the Muslim influence, it probably won’t be the last.

We shall see who gets the last word in Dearborn, and indeed in America and who gets their tongues carved out.

God bless his memory and may millions more be inspired by his life and beliefs to save this nation and lead to our revival and ultimately, the revival of Western civilization itself, the founding of this nation being the crowning achievement in the advancement of human development over the course of thousands of years.

Beautiful, gracious, courageous, and good Erika Kirk gave the most powerful, bravest speech we will ever witness at the memorial service to her husband in a packed stadium in Glendale, Ariz.
We see clearly why Charlie Kirk chose her to be his wife.
“My husband Charlie, he wanted to save young men just like the one who took his life.
“On the Cross, our Savior said: ‘Father forgive them for they not know what they do.’ ” Looking up at a giant image of her husband overhead, through sobs, and swallowed anger, Erika Kirk said: “That young man, I forgive him.”
The crowd rose to its feet and roared its admiration for the widow standing in front of them in a white pantsuit, her long blonde hair shining like a Viking warrior woman.
“I forgive him because it is what Christ did,” she said. “It is what Charlie would do.
“The answer to hate is not hate. The answer we know from the Gospel is love and always love. Love for our enemies and love for those who persecute us.”
. . . Kirk’s organization has been flooded with tens of thousands of requests from schools and universities to start a new chapter or join an existing one.
“The blood of the martyr is the seed of the Church, and Charlie’s message has been heard by millions and millions who would otherwise never have heard of it,” says Kirk’s right-hand man and Turning Point spokesman Andrew Kolvet.
Kolvet revealed that Kirk’s surgeon said it was an “absolute miracle” that the bullet that killed [Kirk] got lodged in his spine and didn’t exit his body and kill someone else. [His] bone was so healthy and the density was so so impressive that he’s like the man of steel.

God bless and keep Erika Kirk and the Kirk children.

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.

Anyway . . . Have a good day!

21 Was Kirk ‘Divisive’—or Did He Simply Say What Millions Believe?

I have seen Charlie Kirk described as the ultimate normie. The people who believe him to have been divisive believe that because the 'influencers' they pay attention to influenced them to believe that. And those 'influencers', in turn, believe that because the 'influencers' they pay attention to influenced them to believe that. And on, and on, and on, until you get to the original sin, as it were, of someone claiming he was divisive because they decided it would be good for their preferred political party.

Fundamentally, Charlie Kirk was murdered because someone decided that demonizing him would be good for the political left and our society has spent decades training people to eschew critical thinking.

Like the crocus, it will burst into bloom;
it will rejoice greatly and shout for joy.
The glory of Lebanon will be given to it,
the splendor of Carmel and Sharon;
they will see the glory of the Lord,
the splendor of our God

Strengthen the feeble hands,
steady the knees that give way;
say to those with fearful hearts,
“Be strong, do not fear;
your God will come,
he will come with vengeance;
with divine retribution
he will come to save you.”

39 Why Kimmel got suspended.

ABC's affiliate stations rebelled because Kimmel's ratings had dropped so much. Jimmy was drawing under a million viewers, while he was getting paid eight figures. It's that simple.

Looking out it doesn't look good for many cable shows. TrumpCo is about to ban direct-to-consumer drug ads which has been a huge part of their revenue base. Cynical me questioned how well these ads actually worked in creating sales, and thought it was how Big Pharma got TV News not to look too closely into what they were doing. The power of The Borg compels you!

So let's raise a fond glass to that once pinnacle of cable comedy, The Man Show,: Karl Malone

NH thing looks like a planned workplace assassination made to look like a crazy nut. He went in shooting at one particular employee (who is critical condition, but stable) and just shot people who got in the way of that or who were close enough for his poor shooting. Yes, someone whacked him with a chair, but he fled vs staying and didn't shoot on his way out. So, I think he was setting up an insane plea or getting the left to pay his defense by preaching their cause. And he wanted to ensure a 2nd degree murder charge, not a 1st, so you wouldn't see how premeditated it was against one guy...he was a former employee, but they won't say with who or how he "got unemployed" there...

My issue has always been this. Forgiveness is basically treated as "Yes, they abused you and hurt you. But forgive them and don't be mad when they do it again. You can be the better person!"

I have never understood the logic behind that. It was like my dealings with a grandfather that was a violent drunk. "Oh that's just the way he is. You shouldn't hold a grudge against him for it."

61 Gonna post Myth 2 directly...

"Myth #2: Forgiveness is incompatible with justice.

On the contrary, justice and forgiveness are intimately linked. When someone forgives, they do not give up their right to seek justice.

In Dives In Misericordia, St. John Paul II says that without the presence of merciful love, justice gets distorted into revenge. (Think: “An eye for an eye.”

The end goal of mercy is true justice, which addresses harm while also affirming the human dignity of all persons impacted."

64 And Myth 4 since abuse survivors came up...

"Myth #4: Forgiveness demeans victims of harm or negates the harm done to them.

Forgiveness is compatible with seeking justice for the survivors of wrongdoing and does not negate their pain and suffering. Forgiveness is not demeaning but a free choice by the survivor, through which survivors reclaim personal agency and redefine their relationship to the past.

As Pope Francis explains, “Free and heartfelt forgiveness is something noble, a reflection of God’s own infinite ability to forgive. . . Those who truly forgive do not forget. . . They break the vicious circle; they halt the advance of the forces of destruction.” (Fratelli Tutti, 250-251)

In justice, no one can or should be forced to forgive, and no other person can justly forgive on behalf of victims."

Posted by: Nova Local at September 22, 2025 08:11 AM (tOcjL)

65 I really don’t understand the concept of forgiving an unrepentant murderer.

Its because the Free Will American Religion has distorted the concept of sin so dramatically, that they have turned into forgiveness into a virtue signaling fetish.

Free Will doctrine says that Christ has forgiven everyone head for head. They like that classic metaphor that Jesus has paid everyone's restaurant tab. So basically the meal is paid for, but those who don't "accept the payment Jesus made" pay the price. Which this where the metaphor drops off because the restaurant owner gets paid twice - Jesus doesn't get a refund.

Therefore, to be consistent, repentance is not a requirement for forgiveness. They will always skip over the passages in the Bible that demand Repentance and jump right to the blanket pardon for everyone.

So your Free Will Enthusiast will issue a blanket pardon without repentance to people whose transgressions weren't even directly against them. (though one could argue that the gunman took away her husband, there is no sin or crime against that specific act)

Then you don't understand the meaning of the word "forgiveness".

Its just a noise that comes out of your mouth that signals to others that you are a virtuous person.

Forgiveness = Pardon. Those who are forgiven escape the consequences of their transgressions. Justice demands consequences. For Justice and Forgiveness to coëxist, another entity must take on the consequences. If there is no one to take the consequences, then society takes on the judgement to themselves.

82 The death of Charlie Kirk has highlighted a portion of the Left that approves of violence.

--

To be clear, I happen to believe it's more than a mere portion of the Left. One thing that has been very crystalizing to me since Charlie's assassination is the utter glee I've seen in so-called normal leftists. The depravity, the ruthlessness, the inhumanity, the soullessness, the full-throttle green light to kill those who speak and think differently has been and is on glaring display. If only the left could've at least shown some compassion, shown some condemnation for the brutal murder of Charlie Kirk, stood up for free speech whether they liked or agreed with what he said. But they did just the opposite. They couldn't even keep quiet, but instead chose to roll around in orgasmic delight at his death. It's been a real eye-opener to many. Even to me, as jaded as I already was about the Democrat Left. It's been shocking, to say the least.

If your neighbor borrows and never returns your power drill, or bad mouths you to the neighborhood. You can ignore the transgression and call if "forgiveness" but it isn't forgiveness, its cowardice in the face of an injustice.

If your neighbor apologizes and seeks to replace the damaged or lost drill, or try to clear your name, that is repentance (if they are successful or not) and forgiveness is a divine requirement on Believers.

93 While the murder of Charlie Kirk exposed the huge rift between the radical left and the rest of America, I don't think we should lose sight of the real reason the DNC wanted Charlie gone: Charlie was an effective advocate for conservative values with the youngest voting age generation.

The DNC's numbers are terrible, most likely, going into the mid terms and they knew having Charilie Kirk advocating for the GOP was probably going to wipe them out.

Because Democrats are incapable, any more, of seeing anything further than the last thought which crossed their mind, they celebrated the death of Charlie.

After the service yesterday, the DNC might, perhaps, realize they made their prospects worse with the way they celebrated or denigrated a political assassination.

This isn’t forgiveness. Forgiveness is for you, not them. It’s to stop them from living in your heart and laying on your soul, it’s releasing that anger and giving it to God. At the end of the day, what happens to the person is between him and God anyway. But it’s not a moment of you being okay with what happened. It’s a way of stopping them from continuing to victimize you by allowing their actions to affect how you live, because their negativity is a constant presence in you.

As a follow up. I never lend anything to anyone. I give it to them. If they interpret that as a loan and eventually return it, that is fine.

107 >>That culture clash came to a boil not just on the pavement but inside Dearborn’s city hall on Wednesday, September 10 – where the mayor stunned residents by telling a local taxpayer he wasn’t welcome in his own hometown after the man criticized the renaming of a portion of Warren Avenue to honor a controversial figure in Arab-American culture, Osama Siblani.

The thief on the cross still received his just punishment, even though he admitted his sins to Jesus while hanging on the cross. His fellow thief, however, did not repent.

116 97 My issue has always been this. Forgiveness is basically treated as "Yes, they abused you and hurt you. But forgive them and don't be mad when they do it again. You can be the better person!

This isn’t forgiveness. Forgiveness is for you, not them. It’s to stop them from living in your heart and laying on your soul, it’s releasing that anger and giving it to God. At the end of the day, what happens to the person is between him and God anyway. But it’s not a moment of you being okay with what happened. It’s a way of stopping them from continuing to victimize you by allowing their actions to affect how you live, because their negativity is a constant presence in you.

"Forgive them, for they know not what they do" isn't applicable here. They know damn well what they're doing. And they believe, with every fiber of their being, they they are justified in what they do.

I'll go with retribution and then ask for forgiveness.

This means the world to me from you. I grapple with this- I have forgiven, but then I see my children hurt and it all rushes back. I made a conscious decision to take the energy spent on what ifs and how could yous and channel it into doing good every day. Maybe the good is tiny, maybe it’s big, but bring sunshine to someone everyday. It’s completely selfish on my part- otherwise I would be a bitter, angry human, and that hurts no one but me.

139 This isn’t forgiveness. Forgiveness is for you, not them. It’s to stop them from living in your heart and laying on your soul, it’s releasing that anger and giving it to God.

That is exactly the doctrine of the American Religion which has nothing to do with orthodox Christianity.

Pure pyschobabble dressed up as sanctified virtue signaling.

I also lay odds that this American Religion doctrine hasn't put a dent in the anti-depressant anti-anxiety Rx in this country. It sounds nice and agreeable, but it is also entirely man-made and an evergreen for selling self-help books.

If your neighbor borrows and never returns your power drill, or bad mouths you to the neighborhood. You can ignore the transgression and call if "forgiveness" but it isn't forgiveness, its cowardice in the face of an injustice.

If your neighbor apologizes and seeks to replace the damaged or lost drill, or try to clear your name, that is repentance (if they are successful or not) and forgiveness is a divine requirement on Believers.

Listen, friend, if this was an easy thing we wouldn’t be having the conversations we are having right now. You want the person to think and react like you, like a normal person. Feel remorse for what they did and do. But they won’t, they can’t, because they are not capable. The flip side to this is they are also not capable of feeling love. Can you imagine how awful that must be? Never knowing what loving ANYONE feels like? I would never, ever want to be that, and praise God, neither you or me are.

US ATTORNEY BILL ESSAYLI: The left continues to fuel this insanity, hysteria, that the federal government is somehow an illegitimate force and it's OK to oppose ICE. So what they do is they lay the gasoline and the matches out and they get people spun up, and they hope that someone does what they want them to do, which is burn the place down because they can't get their way. And we're not putting up with it. And if you try that here, you'll end up in handcuffs!

179 Sundance over at The Conservative Treehouse brought to my attention an effort by some House Republicans to increase private security for members of Congress. The Treehouse links to an article from Politico that describes one budgeting option that would grant as much as $25,000 each month to individual lawmakers so that they may “have access to around-the-clock personal security.” These security guarantees would be in addition to current levels of federal spending for lawmakers’ safety — including those funds that assist Capitol Police in partnering with state and local law enforcement.

Over a haunting still image that shows defenseless Ukrainian immigrant Iryna Zarutska sitting on a North Carolina train just before a black man brutally stabbed her from behind and murdered her last month, Sundance poses this question: “What incentive exists to make sure American society is safe from domestic regional violence, if the representatives of the regions don’t ever have to concern themselves with such matters?”

It is an excellent question.

None of us is called on to forgive so generously, but each of us is under a divinely spoken obligation to reach out with pardon and mercy. The Lord has declared in words of revelation: “My disciples, in days of old, sought occasion against one another and forgave not one another in their hearts; and for this evil they were afflicted and sorely chastened. “Wherefore, I say unto you, that ye ought to forgive one another; for he that forgiveth not his brother his trespasses standeth condemned before the Lord; for there remaineth in him the greater sin. “I, the Lord, will forgive whom I will forgive, but of you it is required to forgive all men. “And ye ought to say in your hearts—let God judge between me and thee, and reward thee according to thy deeds

Vance said at Kirk's memorial that he has spoken the name of Jesus Christ more in the last two weeks than in all the years before. I believe him. This is all a dog and pony show.

Because he's never seen such an opportunity for personal advancement claiming he has "Christian values." Tying himself to Christian Nationalism is an opportunity for advancement and wealth, so changed from secular to forcing god onto people.

MSNBC and CNN will devote just as much time. I'm sure I will hear the breathy details when I absent-mindedly turn on NPR in the morning. Ugh.

Michigan ice cream shop challenges customers with 6.5-pound ‘Extreme Sundae’

The “Extreme Sundae Challenge” packs a Belgian waffle at the bottom, 13 scoops of ice cream in chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry, four different candies — Snickers, M&M’s, Kit Kat, and Reese’s — three sauces, whipped cream, cookies, peanut butter wafers, and a cherry on top, crowned with an ice cream cone

The rules are simple: finish the sundae in under 30 minutes to claim victory...

Not to mention a century of churchgoing normies increasingly exploited by the left into either error or inaction. The normies suddenly aghast at all this is a thing in the first place because they are unreliable and prone to sticking their heads in the sand.

316 The Homan story is a lot more interesting than you will think at first - it was an attempted set-up by the FBI of someone they were sure Trump would appoint, before Trump could take office. That’s who gave him the money.
But Homan was smart, and *never* broke any law. That’s why they now say “there was an investigation”. Yes, there was, and it failed.

And the story now has almost certainly been leaked by some anti-Trump, anti-Homan holdover elements in the FBI who want to sabotage him. One X poster with some knowledge has reason to think this came out of either the Houston or Dallas FBI offices, someone who wants to end the ICE enforcement.

Trump's first nomination happened in May, if I remember correctly.

He's got some blame on the timeline of judge nominations as much as anyone.

The American economy is going to collapse without Indian software engineers. Also, India doesn't want these software engineers in their own country for some reason.

Or, we can accept it as a personal decision on her part, and not worry about how the left will interpret it, since they hate us and want us dead, no matter what we say or do.

It is far past the time when we should care what they think.

Harris despises anyone a member of the Pelosi-run Democrat wing in Cali. Pelosi did not want Harris to be Joe's replacement as the Dem Candidate. Even Kammie was smart enough to figure that out.

338 Guy de Maupassant, the French writer, tells the story of a peasant named Hauchecome who came on market day to the village. While walking through the public square, his eye caught sight of a piece of string lying on the cobblestones. He picked it up and put it in his pocket. His actions were observed by the village harness maker with whom he had previously had a dispute.--->

Later in the day the loss of a purse was reported. Hauchecome was arrested on the accusation of the harness maker. He was taken before the mayor, to whom he protested his innocence, showing the piece of string that he had picked up. But he was not believed and was laughed at. The next day the purse was found, and Hauchecome was absolved of any wrongdoing. But,--->

he was not believed and was laughed at. The next day the purse was found, and Hauchecome was absolved of any wrongdoing. But, resentful of the indignity he had suffered because of a false accusation, he became embittered and would not let the matter die. Unwilling to forgive and forget, he thought and talked of little else. He neglected his farm.--->

Everywhere he went, everyone he met had to be told of the injustice. By day and by night he brooded over it. Obsessed with his grievance, he became desperately ill and died. In the delirium of his death struggles, he repeatedly murmured, “A piece of string, a piece of string.”

344 The DNC's numbers are terrible, most likely, going into the mid terms and they knew having Charilie Kirk advocating for the GOP was probably going to wipe them out.

Because Democrats are incapable, any more, of seeing anything further than the last thought which crossed their mind, they celebrated the death of Charlie.

After the service yesterday, the DNC might, perhaps, realize they made their prospects worse with the way they celebrated or denigrated a political assassination.

President Trump announced last week that there will be a Republican Convention the summer before the mid-terms next year. I am sure every speaker will remind everyone about the assassination attempts of 2024 and the successful assassination of 2025. And remind everyone how the Democrat Party and the Left overall incited and celebrated them.

350 Time was when I read The Economist religiously to find out more information on what some AoS posters intensely, passionately fear and hate: The Outside World. And it was a good source for that information. Even then, though, I remembered to avoid the United States section and the Lexington column, because they relied on U.S. journalists and thusly that section and column were virulently anti-American. Though I did find out through that column about the 2004 candidate for U.S. Senate from IL, His Majesty The Shahinshah…

Now the entire magazine is unreadable. Bad writing, poor takes and an increasingly punkass contrarian nature rule there. (For example, they recommend the United States become infinitely more Socialist to correct things real or perceived. For Venezuela, it demands it become capitalistic again.).

From above, "The cancellation of Jimmy Kimmel’s show doesn’t matter. What matters is the left’s embrace of political violence." "We Are Not Going To Have A Debate About Free Speech" Indeed.

So, there's negotiations to Kimmel - mentioned many times, above, and in comments - back on? The plot thickens. Jimmy Kimmel becomes a central figure in a larger debate over fascism, censorship, and free speech.

>The Daily Show, Jon Stewart's Post-Kimmel Primer on Free Speech in the Glorious Trump Era, 9/18/25

>Refuse Fascism Org
September 18 2025 * For Immediate Release
Jimmy Must Stay–Trump Must Go

In part, "The murder of Charlie Kirk was wrong and has nothing to do with stopping fascism. But let’s be clear: Trump, Vance, Steven Miller and the rest have been using this murder to hammer down fascism, and this repression of Jimmy Kimmel is a huge step in that. They are using this murder to go after people and organizations who had absolutely nothing to do with it and these MAGA people know it. Kimmel did nothing but point out some of the hypocrisy of these fascists. And for this he is being canceled and threatened."

While there is no formal or official alignment with other 'Movements' that oppose a perceived threat of fascism, bet they'll sync in some ways to exercise opposition to the administration.

356 Fine that Erika forgives him to reduce the burdon on her heart.

I'm more interested in ways to expedite the process so that he gets to a firing squad ASAP.

It's total bullshit that even with a death penalty sentence it probably will be 10 years before he is fitted with a blindfold.

There needs to be total revamp of the process that if there is DNA + video evidence that the goal should be < 12months from crime to punishment.
