The Morning Report

The Morning Report — 12/10/25

Good morning kids. So, J.B. (Sitz-)Pritzker, the corrupt corpulent tyrannical 12-ton tick posing as an American governor along with his Democrat minions have issued some sort of edict dressed up as a law prohibiting the enforcement of legitimate law in arresting illegal aliens within 1,000 feet of any courthouse. What Donald Trump should immediately do, is station squads of ICE agents at every single Illinois courthouse, backed up by Federal marshals or National Guard troops if need be, perhaps with armored personnel carriers, given the proclivity of Democrat/Antifa/La Raza street goons to assault with everything from fists to bricks and molotov cocktails. What are the odds that Illinois State Troopers would dare get in the way of a few dozen AR-15s pointed their way?

I hope team Trump will not try to seek redress in the courts, considering the judiciary is so utterly corrupt and stacked against him as well as the Constitution as founded. No, this quote-unquote "law" is a shot across the bow of the rule of a just and stable law as intended by the founders and demands only one response. A show of force that Prtizker, Johnson et al cannot resist. Along with the wielding of executive authority via the purse-strings to force them to cease and desist.

Pritzker’s signing of the bill comes after Illinois lawmakers passed the bill during the government shutdown, according to the New York Times. Under the bill, places like hospitals and daycare centers are restricted from sharing certain information with ICE agents.
While the legislation has been praised by Democrat lawmakers in the state, Republicans in the state, such as Illinois state Sen. John Curran (R), have taken “issue with the law’s ban on civil immigration enforcement at state courthouses or within 1,000 feet of those courthouses,” according to the outlet.
“We’re pushing this more and more, with these prohibitions, into uncontrolled settings,” Curran said. “And with uncontrolled settings, there are heightened risks.”
During a press conference on Tuesday for the signing of the bill, Pritzker claimed that “the Chicago region has been subjected to a relentless campaign of cruelty and intimidation and abuse at the hands of ICE” under the Trump administration.

Well the fat sleazy bastard needs to be ejected and imprisoned. But he is correct when he declared “the Chicago region has been subjected to a relentless campaign of cruelty and intimidation and abuse..."

But not by ICE nor our President.

Chicago could lose federal funding after a 26-year-old woman was set on fire on the city’s train system in what the Trump administration described as a “preventable attack.”
Federal Transit Administration Administrator Marc Molinaro sent letters on Monday to Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Democrat Governor JB Pritzker, directing them to immediately enhance safety on public transportation. Molinaro said that officials had failed to take the necessary steps to keep the public safe.

It's a waste of time, energy and paper, gentlemen. Just cut off the funds until they cry uncle. Seriously, Jonson and Pritzker should be sharing a cell in a federal lockup for criminal malfeasance, endangering the public welfare and the fomenting of insurrection in openly calling for law enforcement to be resisted and issuing edicts to interfere with the lawful enforcement of our federal laws.

An interesting angle on all of this can be found in this essay about the smear campaign against our fantastic Secretary of war Pete Hegseth. First and foremost now because he represents the tip of the spear in President Trump's war on drugs on the high seas via the obliteration and sinking of drug-smuggling boats with cargoes of enough poison to kill every man woman and child in the US, citizen and illegal alien alike perhaps 10 times over.

The modern expression of what psychiatrist Dr. Judith Orloff calls “toxic empathy,” is found in political terms, in order to express policy positions and actions that are suicidal in their effect. For example, “toxic empathy” includes protests and interference against officers tracking down criminal illegal aliens, and fabrications of charges and distortions of the law by the Dems, including military brass, attacking Trump and Hegseth. In other words, a partisan political weapon––one as narcissistic as virtue-signaling. . . This fantasy pretends that war can be something other than what Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest defined it: “War means fighting, and fighting means killing.” And what Abraham Lincoln called the “terrible arithmetic.”

The other reason to attack Hegseth at least in my view is that his is seen as a future MAGA leader who, in my estimation if he continues to burnish his credentials might have a real shot in the near-ish term for a Veep slot and then potentially a real shot to be POTUS and then continue the path charted by President Trump and please God whoever his successors may be, Vance, Huckabee Sanders, as both CBD and I would like to see as we have mused on recent podcasts, though YMMV or whomever. This of course notwithstanding the usual Democrat/Leftist criminality and election meshugas as well as the alarming trend towards socialism of the younger generations.

And speaking of podcasts, a new episode should be posting sometime around midday today so be on the lookout for that in the sidebar and the outlets listed below.

We'll just have to wait and see, as President Trump might say. Much rides on an improving economy that will be a crucial boost for the upcoming midterms and then two years from now to cap off the second half of Trump 2.0

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.

30 Sigh.

What the headline says...

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) signed a bill that prevents U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents from arresting illegal aliens outside of or near courthouses in the state.

What the article says...

Pritzker’s signing of the bill comes after Illinois lawmakers passed the bill during the government shutdown, according to the New York Times. Under the bill, places like hospitals and daycare centers are restricted from sharing certain information with ICE agents.

These are not the same. Do not allow your emotions to be manipulated, even by people "on our side".

Calling them "fake news" for the millionth time isn't doing it. Waiting for institutional credibility to collapse isn't good enough. So how? A first step would be the appointment of a position of "media monitor" or truth czar as a serious, high profile position adjunct to Karoline Leavitt's. This person's job would be analyzing and reporting on media performance with daily updates on X and he/she would open every press briefing with video clips and summaries of media narratives/lies, holding individual journalists PERSONALLY responsible. That is, "personalize and polarize." This person would also produce longer-form background analyses of the media/government revolving door and the ideological roots of reporters.

Only a fraction of people see it, notice it or care about it.

Instead of producing more at 320 million dollars each, they went into mass production at about 80 thousand. Good idea. Now, the government wants more nuclear plants, which is also a good idea. However, they will back producing individual large plants that are basically prototypes at some ridiculous price and years of lead time.

183 He pointed out that the shooting of Kirk was the most successful assassination in history.

To paraphrase Heinlein, violence works. Especially if only one side is willing to engage in it.

Bondi and co had an opportunity to use that assassination to roll up every antifa associate of the shooter. Instead it appears they aren't even going to bother with Squirrel Boy.

And yes the left will trade a few years in jail for a street activist/thug for a conservative leader any day.

I suspect that disposable water bottles are big issue but that's a harder nut to crack for an emergency supply.

A disturbing thought I had:

• Lots of influential people and "ethicists" claiming that AI will be NAFTA 2.0 and put a lot of people out of work
• They also say that AI's disruption is a humanity crisis that can only be solved through regulation
• or those who profit from AI fully underwrite UBI with the trillions that they make.
• WEF has been destroying public grid capacity for decades now.
• WEF is pushing AI and UBI and all of the pathologies

Now the public is demanding that data centers stay off the public grid and feed themselves. With nukes.

Think about it, we are demanding that those who will take our jobs and laugh at our UBI demands be in well defended islands and prevent any attempt to shut them down by being completely self contained.

Those old enough to remember when Reagan took over also remember it took some time for the economy to recover and then it took off like a rocket.

Redistricting is happening. USAID is largely done. Election roles are being cleaned. Illegals are going home and there will be a surge of new ICE people next year thanks to all the hiring. And we've got Trump campaigning all across the country for MAGA candidates.

Gerson Emir Cuadra Soto, 33, was an MS-13 leader and part of a professional assassination squad for the gang. He came into the U.S. illegally under the Biden administration. After being charged in Honduras in 2022 with firearms offenses tied to a quadruple homicide, Cuadra Soto and two co-defendants allegedly bribed their way out of jail.

He crossed from Mexico into Texas and later obtained a California driver’s license using his real identity.

He has now been arrested in Grand Island and is facing federal charges.

255 IIRC there were some pre-election fortifications in Miami to make sure the Democrat had an advantage. It had been reported months ago... largely dismissed as the media and public was focused on Trump's ballroom, narco-terrorists being blown up, illegals, states and ICE at odds with each other, etc.

The voting demographic was largely Latinos hungry for some leftist love.

Now describe Mrs. Clinton. I had great fun with that, on my leftist friends. They were mortified. “Why … but . She was a Senator! Secretary of State!”

No no no I said. Those are job titles. What did she do. What are her accomplishments? Can you describe some of the great legislation she passed? I think she was instrumental in getting a post office renamed. Is that what you mean by “the most qualified person to ever run for president”?

Sorry, I’m just not that easily impressed. The “First Vagina-American” is not the persuasive argument we are led to believe it is.

And special elections are always unique animals and don't reflect midterms. We hear this during every special election season and then quickly forget it.

Doesn't matter, when TikTok tells you that the world is unfair, and you will lead a life of slavery and debt unless you vote for Communism, then it really doesn't matter if unemployment is under 2% and real wages has increased and crime has dropped.

Trump didn't vibe himself into winning every swing state and the popular vote. He worked for it and offered policies that people wanted. Imagine that.

Long way to go but accepting we are doomed right now when there is no indication that is true is not my favorite strategy.

all the weak sisters and lame bros of the human race, who as children demand that the bread crust be cut off their sandwiches to get rid o0f the "tough part".

Don't be a weenie! Eat the crust, lame-os!

Trump is a once in a century political talent. We've never seen anything like him before, and we may not again for quite a while. It is beyond shameful that there's even talk of Republican congressmen retiring ahead of the 2026 midterms - especially after what we experienced after Paul Ryan shivved him in 2018.

It is up to US to reform the party. Join your local GOP. Yes, they're largely crap, but if decent people join there is a chance to reform from the inside. I made the decision to join my town RTC four years ago, and now I chair it. It's tough to turn the ship around, but it absolutely can be done. We need to do this. We can't wait for a savior. We're it.

406 In a move reflecting broader debates on diversity, the U.S. State Department, led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, has reverted to using the Times New Roman font in official communications, dismissing the previous administration's adoption of the more accessible Calibri font.

The decision, announced through an internal cable, cited a need to uphold decorum and professionalism by employing a font viewed as more traditional. Calibri, adopted in early 2023 under Secretary Antony Blinken, was intended to enhance accessibility for individuals with disabilities, according to the retired directive.

This shift emerges amid broader Republican efforts, spearheaded by figures like Trump, to dismantle diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives across federal agencies and sectors. Critics argue these policies oppose merit-based ideals and disproportionately disadvantage certain groups.

All this crapping on Tucker, et al is all about vibes. He is "discouraging" voters. Discouraging is not a term applied to objective policy goals. It is a subjective opinion made against any policy by those who don't like it.

That's not vibing. That's developing a platform of policies that appeal to a wide swath of voters and working to earn their votes.

461 Good morning, all, and thanks, J.J. for another 👍 Morning Rant.

From above, "Chicago could lose federal funding after a 26-year-old woman was set on fire on the city’s train system in what the Trump administration described as a “preventable attack.”

Sure, it definitely should, but it won't. The progressive game is break the backs & minds of the "working class" however broad that may be.

They push beyond reasonable limits, the administration pushes them back, the Courts intervien. In the meantime, they sue, they 'report' to the 'public' that the administration is 'bad,' funding won't be available to sustain current lifestyles, prices are unsustainable, and so on.

There's almost no negotiations but there are intentional reductions of services (slowdowns), strikes, threats of strikes (weekly), and public pummeling via the msm.

Those coordinated efforts with cronies helps paint a big picture to frighten &, at times, inconvenience the low infos., of which there are now by far more than imaginable out here, educational levels & achievements be damned. (C19, the great teacher of the civilized, the creator of puppets and puppeteers.)

462 Just last week, Democratic Representatives Gregory W. Meeks of New York and Sara Jacobs of California, along with Senators Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire and Cory Booker of New Jersey, issued a strong statement against Trump’s charged discourse about Somali immigrants.

“Instead of using the power of the presidency to bring our country together, President Trump chose to attack an American immigrant community, the overwhelming majority of whom are law-abiding and have made many positive contributions to the United States,” they said in a joint statement, labeling Trump's rhetoric as “xenophobic and unacceptable.”

That is how, in part, you can tell who still watches or reads outrage merchants. There is also the large influx of Debbie Downer comment on conservative websites on places like Instapundit, NY Post comments, etc.

Difficult to determine the signal from the chaff but if all comment systems forced reveals of country where a person lived and/or signed up for the comments, it would cause a shift in the force. Used to be, often grammar and spelling indicated that a commenter was foreign (eg grey from gray, labour for labor) or unusual sentence structures. AI has removed that indicator via polish.

Second, automated bots are getting really good even at responses instead of a dump and run.

465 Monday night, the Charlotte City Council unanimously approved plans to enter into a one-year contract with Sherry Matthews Group for marketing and communication services. Officials started searching for a firm about a month after the death of Iryna Zarutska on the Blue Line.

Now days after the most recent light rail stabbing, the city is continuing efforts to improve public perception and encourage people to use public transit.

“It is outrageous that rather than fixing the problem of violent crime that is literally killing people, the Charlotte City Council wants to spend $3.4 million on public relations consultants,” said South Carolina congressman and gubernatorial candidate Ralph Norman following the decision. “What a slap in the face to law enforcement and the taxpayers of Charlotte. I have already called on the mayor to resign, and it might be time for the city council to follow suit.”
