The Morning Report — 10/21/25

Good morning kids. For a tyrannical king, Donald Trump gets failing marks. Surely the corpses of the protesters would be stacked at least 15 feet high in DC and everywhere else the rent-a-mobs and the braindead geriatric hippies who shrieked loudest and shrillest appeared.

No kings? More like no young people.
On Saturday, several so-called “No Kings” protests took place across the country. The protests looked more like an AARP meeting, with NBC Boston perhaps encapsulating the state of the protests best: “This is an older crowd … A lot of white hair. You see Q-Tips as we used to call them in the business … not a lot of young people.”

Then again, as commenter MP4 once sagely quipped at the beginning of the Trump = Hitler stupidity all those years ago now, "If Trump was a fraction of the Nazi the left claims he is they'd all be smoke up a chimney by now."

All of the violence and tyranny comes from one direction and one direction only — the Left, meaning Democrats/Socialists and their ilk. Those who seek our enslavement and/or destruction. The ones who shriek loudest and shrillest about the supposed preservation of our precious democracy, and who use fists, bricks, firebombs and guns as the expression of their yearning for universal brotherhood. Long before any of the aforementioned can harm us, we'll all be choking on our own vomitus.

And speaking of which, we have this ancient rotting corpse just rambling and shambling

Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) attempted to tie President Abraham Lincoln — America’s first Republican president — to Democratic socialism based on one line from his famed Gettysburg Address. . . . “You know what? People are saying here’s a radical idea,” Sanders said. “This is what Democratic Socialism basically means: let’s have a government that works for all the people, not just the billionaire class. Let’s end a corrupt campaign finance system that allows billionaires in both political parties to determine who wins elections.” . . . Sanders concluded by suggesting that Lincoln was actually talking about the same goal when he gave the Gettysburg Address: “Let’s try to create the kind of democracy that Lincoln talked about way back when, when he said ‘a government of the people, by the people, for the people.'”

There isn't a dump truck full of flaming horse shit big, fiery and rancid enough to drown this horrendous zombie in. Rhetorically-speaking of course! /sarc. May the Good Lord turn him into a chandelier so he can swing by day and burn by night.

Meh, let him rattle his dentures as President Trump is winning the battle over the Schumer shakedown/shutdown handily.

On a much more positive note:

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Portland has been under near-constant siege for months, as Antifa, Trantifa, and other radical leftists violently harass and even assault agents and federal property. Trump wanted to send in military backup, and this time, the legal decision went his way.

And please break the back of Antifa and whoever and whatever is backing them.

Have a good day!

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.

What I find even more remarkable is that Trump’s numbers sit where they do today even though the president has said he intends to use the shutdown to fire bureaucrats and permanently shutter government programs beloved by Democrats. And it’s not just Trump saying that. His administration has made clear that they intend to take advantage of the shutdown for this purpose, and the effort has already begun.

“This shutdown hasn’t eaten into Donald Trump’s support at all,” he said. “His net approval rating is actually up a point in terms of his popular support.” The takeaway, Enten concluded, is striking: “The first shutdown during Trump’s first term, 2018/2019, was hurting Donald Trump.

Trump stated during the engagement that, following the signing of a peace agreement to end the war in Gaza last week, he intends to focus America’s foreign policy on achieving a sustainable peace for Ukraine. Trump welcomed Putin to Alaska for in-person dialogue on the matter in August, but the talks did not achieve any significant changes for the situation on the ground in Ukraine. Putin has repeatedly rejected any substantive talks towards peace, opting instead for rehashing the entire timeline of the history of Russia.

26 Regarding spanking of children: When my kids were growing up, they got spanked. However, I had a goal in mind: I spanked them when they were little, because I thought arguing with a 4 year old was the most ridiculous thing I'd ever witnessed.

However, I knew my kids would age of out spanking, leading to other forms of punishment.

Which is the path I followed.

65 We Asked ‘No Kings’ Protesters What Made Trump A King. They Couldn’t Say.

Do any of them know what makes King Charles a King in England? Do they know the responsibilities and powers of the King in England? Do they know what separates the responsibilities and powers of the King vs. those of the Prime Minister?

I don't even know. I doubt any of the Left know either.

Also, they should watch the movie "With Honors" (1994):

Our "founding parents" were pompous, middle-aged, white farmers, but they were also great men. Because they knew one thing that all great men should know: that they didn't know everything. They knew they were gonna make mistakes, but they made sure to leave a way to correct them. They didn't think of themselves as leaders. They wanted a government of citizens, not royalty. A government of listeners, not lecturers. A government that could change, not stand still. The president isn't an "elected king," no matter how many bombs he can drop. Because the "crude" Constitution doesn't trust him. He's a servant of the people. He's a bum, okay Mr. Pitkannan? He's just a bum. And the only bliss that he's searching for is freedom and justice.

The entire thing was staged. Probably by the Olde Guard Democrats. A national protest organized by the likes of AOC or Jeffries would have been violent with rioting, looting and burning.

I think that's overstating a bit. It's not a lunge for power.

These crunchy old Leftists fucks have been jerking each other off about their protesting glory days for more than fifty years. And because of the Leftist proclivity for entering media, all of it catered to their grandiose delusions of adequacy with endless hagiographies of their ephemeral hippie moment, their largely unpopular protest movements, their drug culture, and of course, an unremitting cavalcade of Beatles retrospectives.

As a result, they have a vastly overblown opinion of themselves, and now view their regrettable, misspent youth through the diaphanous veil of time, which softens the ugliness of it all.

This is their last chance to relive those halcyon Days of Whine and Roses, and they're grasping onto it with all the strength left in their bony old fingers.

Hundreds of houses, a golf course, government buildings, and the port facilities are now on 'stolen land' and title must be given to the tribe.

Small government libertarianism's highlight was, ironically, 2012 with big government technocrat Mitt Romney nominating "fiscal hawk" Paul Ryan as his VP.

America rejected it.

The GOP evolved. And Trump's record has actually been one of incredible libertarianism in contrast to the past 100 years.

10-1. That's the deregulatory effort vs. increased regulation in his second administration (his first, it was 5-1). And most of the 1, the new regulations, are "deregulate more" in effect.

But that's not sexy. So, the left tries to burn down federal buildings in safe districts, Trump responds with the NG, and they scream about hypocrisy.

184 The Post Office is a constitutional requirement and at least makes some of its own operating costs. Can it be streamlined and made more efficient. Most definitely.

I did not include Post Office numbers because they are a Constitutional entity and have a very strong union that has successfully fended off numerous attempts to improve efficiency and automate.

The left says that we can have Utopia on earth but to get there not only do we have to make everyone do "the right things" they have to think them as well.

So Kirk merely engaging in wrong think is stopping heaven on earth and by being allowed to talk to others he is taking them on the road to wrong think as well.

Yeah, men who knew how to compromise and cave with dignity!

More seriously, the Left always pretends to have respect for Republicans they've long since destroyed (preferably dead ones) as a way to put down the current GOP. It's a game - as if to say "Oh, sure, we like some Republicans, but the current ones are The Worst!" This is always combined with completely mischaracterizing said dead/defeated Republican's policies/value/words. For example, recall how they were likening Obama to Reagan, or how they celebrated the previously eeeevil W. hanging out with Michelle Obama.

My experience with leftists is that they will only learn about their political opponent indirectly - they'll see on a lefty forum someone posting fake quotes from Kirk, and they'll assume the poster is being honest and correct and they will in turn post those fake quotes everywhere. Soon, everywhere they go they'll see fake quotes and since they see so many of them assume they must be correct.

Stephen King posted to twitter that of course there are no Epstein files. That the only abusers were Epstein and Maxwell themselves and therefore rightwing conspiracy theorists should knock it off

Then a week later he posted that of course Trump was in the Epstein files.

Bernie Sanders? 🤣 Want to see the real man in action? Bernie Sander's has a lousy record when it comes to passing bills to become law & it's a constant with him.

Bloomberg Campaign Press Release - Sanders Has Weak Record of Passing Bills Through Congress, Feb. 25, 2020

In part, "Over 15 Congressional sessions, first a a member of the House and then in the Senate, Sanders has had only three bills directly become law - just 0.7% of the 421 bills he has sponsored during his legislative tenure. Two of these laws renamed Vermont post offices. this is the second lowest ratio for any current senator who has served across 10 or more sessions.

Unable to find a major bill that Bernie Sanders solely sponsored that has become law since 2020.

He has, however, piggybacked on several bills that have passed such as parts of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (S293

in 2022; Medicare for All Act (S1129), introduced 2019 but not passed into law. He cosponsored the Environmental Justice for All Act (S4401) in 2020; it did not become law. And he also cosponsored the NO BAN Act (S4961) in 2024, a bill intended to limit the president's
