The Morning Report — 12/29/25

Good morning kids. Let's start off the with a bit of good news for a change, coming as it does from the international front. Hat tip to commenter Bulg for this story.

Israel on Friday announced that it has formally recognized Somaliland as an independent and sovereign state, according to a statement from the Prime Minister’s Office. . . The statement said the declaration was made “in the spirit of the Abraham Accords,” the U.S.-brokered normalization agreements initiated under President Donald Trump. Netanyahu congratulated Abdallah and praised his leadership, citing a shared commitment to stability and peace. Netanyahu invited the Somaliland president to make an official visit to Israel. Abdallah, according to the statement, thanked Netanyahu for what he described as a historic decision and expressed appreciation for Israel’s efforts in combating terrorism and promoting regional peace.

For those unaware, Somaliland is not Somalia. It is an independent nation, though technically known only as a "partially recognized state" that borders the latter to the north, but that said it is an Islamic nation and does share ethnic and tribal/clan ties with the Somalia and indeed other peoples of the region. And since that region, the horn of Africa, also encompasses Yemen across the Gulf of Aden from which the Houthi terrorists use as a base to strike Israel as well as international shipping lanes in and out of the Red Sea and Indian Ocean, this is big news. And while Somaliland gained its statehood back in 1960, it's amazing that of all the world's nations Israel is the first to officially recognize Somaliland as an independent nation. If the Somalilanders can be trusted (and given the nature of Islam, that's a pretty big "if") then Israel in theory gains a pretty important foothold in a very strategic area key to its defense. But what's in it for Somaliland to invite open hostility from the broader Islamic/Arab world of which it is a part? I guess as President Trump is so very fond of saying, we'll just have to wait and see. Despite the smiles and the handshakes for the cameras, when things heat up again, as they no doubt will with the so-called 'Palestnians' You know the Somaliland government will not be silent and like eerywhere else will blame the Jews for not cooperating and just dying. But at least for now, perhaps Israel can keep a close eye on the Houthi front which, like so many other fronts is directly and closely connected to Iran. In spite of the decimation of its nuclear sites by both the IDF and USAF and reports of major internal problems, from the collapse of its water infrastructure to growing unrest and disaffection for the Mullahs from there populace, the regime can and no doubt will strike wherever and whenever it can. what happened at Bondi Beach may very well have an Iranian connection.

Back over here, the gargantuan fraud coming out o the Somali immigrant locust cloud primarily in Minnesota just beggars the imagination:

Somali Scammers Allegedly Stole Almost As Much In Minnesota As Entire Somalia GDP — FBI Director Kash Patel announced the agency was already sending additional resources in an X post Sunday, saying the deployment occurred before a 42-minute video of independent journalist Nick Shirley visiting various day care centers went viral Friday. Thompson described the situation as involving “industrial-scale fraud,” according to CBS News Minnesota. (RELATED: YouTuber Nick Shirley Exposes Alleged Somali Daycare Center Which Reportedly Reaped $4,000,000 From Taxpayers) . . Somalia’s GDP was $11.97 billion in 2024, according to a release from the country’s Bureau of National Statistics. Whistleblowers in Maine and Ohio have alleged similar schemes by Somali scammers have taken place in those states.

And speaking of Minnesota, this bastard needs to be dealt with:

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey Says if Deportation Operations Continue Minnesota Residents Will Start Killing ICE Agents . . . However, Mayor Frey did say if the ICE deportation operations continue, ICE agents are likely to be killed. The obvious question is, ‘who will do the killing, Jacob‘?

Good question. There is no doubt that many millions of dollars of that grift wound up int eh pockets of Frey and Walz as payoffs for political protection. Considering they control the state and local governmental bureaucracies that distribute the funds, without them I doubt that the graft could ever have become so large and widespread. There's shoplifting but this is driving a tractor trailer into a warehouse full of furs and cleaning it out wholesale.

Considering that a hefty percentage of what was grifted no doubt wound up in the hands of terrorists in Somalia, Perhaps Somaliland making nice with Israel is an act of self preservation on the part of the Somalilanders, given the nature of tribalism.

Something to consider.

Meh, who needs Islamic terrorists or Chi-Coms, when we have people like this, running our government and charged with keeping us safe. . .

I hate this framing, but it is probably inevitable.

The Somali scammers stole it, yes, but this puts *all* of the blame on them. They done did it, but they were *not* working in a vacuum. They were being enabled a every step by the government of Minnesota, which was a partner in these crimes.

The dominant framing of this story - "Somali scammers did X, Y and Z" - absolves the Minnesota government by default, which is bullshit. This isn't simple retail fraud or theft. This isn't a con man selling you bogus sweepstakes one-on-one. it is an organized crime syndicate with major partners in the government.

It's not just Somalis. Every immigrant group that has a mass presence in one or more locales probably is doing this.

No chance to do the plant equivalent of "shoot, shovel and shut up" in a circumstance like that one.

This is distressingly common. Rule-following is desired, demanded and fully supported - not thinking.

In Maui, they didn't turn the water on because they couldn't get authorization from Honolulu and everyone followed the rules.
In Flint, they followed every rule about changing over the water source, but nobody stopped to think. Thinking was unnecessary, since the rules were followed.
In LA, they didn't bulldoze because they were following the rules.

The costs of compliance are collectively high and the costs of non-compliance are personally high. Nobody who breaks the rules to save lives and property is going to get a medal. Nobody who says, "hey, everything is compliant but this is a bad and dangerous idea" is going to get a promotion. Those people will get arrested, fined or fired.

So they follow the rules, and damn the consequences. Bureaucratic procedures and accountability avoidance demand it.

Rules >> reason

It's an invulnerable, immune bureaucracy where breaking a rule - however sensible or justified such breaking would be - results in personal destruction of the rule-breaker and following a rule - however senseless and unjustifiable following the rule may be - results in a paycheck and the cover of bureaucratic immunity.

32 The cheapest gas I've seen here is $2.10/gal. for 87 E10 regular. It's not near me, though. I try to use E0, and I know of two stations, one close by, which offers it (90 octane, too) for $2.99, whereas other places which have it want $3.29+.

The Buick does not need any higher octane than 87, but the extra gas mileage is nice to see. Even if the increase is not quite enough to offset completely the higher price.

35 When the Somali theft in MN is brought up, mention of the Somali community as a voting bloc comes up. This leads me to believe it wouldn't take a very deep dive to expose corruption and cheating in the citizenship process. Straw men taking tests, vetting records altered, bribery of officials, all to get that valuable piece of paper opening the possibilities of getting in on the grift (and voting Dem).

Of course not, but that is irrelevant. Not *all* of them are profoundly stupid, and the scam isn't all that elaborate. The stupider ones can be mules and go sign papers as directed.

This wasn't some hugely complex operation with signs for free birdseed where absolutely everything had to go right. These were mostly pretty simple scams: just make up an unbelievable lie, have your buddy on the inside pretend it's all good, and take the money.

43 Sometimes unscrupulous gas stations will have more than 10% ethanol, despite what is stated on the pump. Unless someone tests, there’s no way to tell. Other than watch the fuel gauge decline with astonishing speed. I’ve noticed my V6 runs noticeably smoother and quieter on the highway with pure gasoline, even if it doesn’t “need” higher octane.

In my opinion - so it's worth what you pay for it - we've crossed back over the optimal line on this thanks to electronics and regulations. Cramming in more gadgets or squeezing out one more fractional MPG or suppressing one more pound of net "carbon" emissions has been reducing reliability and longevity for a while now.

I think the peak of automotive engineering might have been the late 90s through the early to mid aughts. Mechanically, things were extremely sound for most manufacturers and models. Engines and transmissions lasted more or less forever and the cars were integrated and computerized enough to nail efficiency very well but still remain reasonably serviceable. They are more efficient now and mechanical reliability (outside of crazy big transmissions with 10 speeds, etc.) is still very good but serviceability has taken a huge hit.

——-

Investing means stocks or real estate, gold and silver was an excellent alternative to holding the US dollar. For a long time stuffing US dollars under the mattress was a prudent thing to do around the world. Americans didn’t need to worry about such things.

Historically I think practically every currency has been demonetized or de-valued, bonds and debt repudiated, economic “reforms”. I can’t think of any exceptions off the top of my head. Small size Federal Reserve notes from 1914 are still technically legal tender. That’s a pretty good run, might be a record.

Yes. My '03 Buick Park Avenue was a marvel to drive, maintain, feed, and repair. Enough electronics to be useful, but no wild things like heated/cooled seats or a heated steering wheel, radar, rear camera, etc. Yes, I like the camera in the LaCrosse. But you need it because of the smallish and steeply angled rear window; you can't see anything out there. The PA didn't have that kind of styling.

I have two Jeep Cherokees (XJ) in various trims, both with the 4.0L and had a 95 Grand Cherokee with the 5.2L

the I6 gets, at best about 22mpg after 100k miles and from the factory floor had 190hp. (the Wrangler (YJ) had a more restrictive exhaust and lost 10 ponies)

Other than accessories or cooling system (radiator, water pump) the engines needed only oil, filter and plug changes. 25+ years of no engine/transmission malfunction in daily driving. Dittos with the 95 ZJ with the 5.2

So yes, the 90s and early 00s, for me (three out of three) were mechanically most stable.

We will see what the Genesis with the 3.5L and 400+ HP and equivalent mileage will do.

Leftism holds that the Narrative is the most important. Nothing else matters. Everything revolves upholding a carefully constructed, elaborate scaffold of total bullshit, built up over many many years. Breaking out of these delusions is very tough on the psyche.

They can’t give an inch, if they are wrong on some minor point, what else are they wrong about? People might start asking questions. Can’t have that. David Horowitz outlined his journey from red diaper baby to conservative.

It does not happen without consequences. Like a cult, if you leave the fold of leftist orthodoxy, or even offer mild criticism, they will try to destroy you. He was a courageous man.

123 [i[]Unrelated to the article, I find it fascinating, and sad, that such a large portion of northern hemisphere Jewry can so easily find anti-Semitism everywhere they look except for the people actually assaulting or killing them.

Do not confuse ethnic Jews with cultural/national Jews - definitely not a homogenous ethnicity.

What seems to be more of a common denominator is the heavy doping towards a diaspora mindset and adaptability that will definitely have the cultural/national Jews outlive all other demographics.

127 So I have an amusing story for you all. My wife bought a pair of gi pants from Seido for me. Seido is a great martial arts supply store out in Japan run by a couple of French guys. Great quality products and I've been happy with them.

She gets the bill from DHL. They were charging her an exorbitant fee for the shipping. Now, my wife gets that tariffs increase prices but not by that much. She challenges it and demands an explanation.

The reply is that they add that much for copper and steel imports. She immediately fires back that it's cotton. Gets a template answer of 5-7 business days for this to be resolved. And if she doesn't pay them the full amount now, the package goes back to the shipper. She pays but still tries to fight. Goes as far to demand an invoice. Nothing.

At my suggestion, she files a fraud complaint with PayPal. Not even ten minutes later, DHL assures her that they will investigate the matter. And she will be firing off an email to Seido to politely suggest they use a different shipping company.

130 For a good outlet, American Greatness runs some really dumb articles at times - for example the one about wind power above. The author doesn’t even understood why Trump invoked Nat Security as a reason to block them . First, because those myriad spinning blades make radar tracking at low levels near major population centers impossible. Very bad idea.
Second, because the Juduciary has been trying to stymie all of Trumps attempts to shut down the enviro-grift that is going on. The National Security reasoning lifts this issue out of their jurisdiction.

Yet another 'conservative' commentator spouting off, stirring emotions, without giving consideration to the facts on the ground.

There is no "rule of law" in the US. Blue favored groups and politicians can get away with anything in blue states because the residents of those states put Blue Über Alles.

Deporting people? Think about the difficulty the administration has had just deporting fucking murderers because of the judges. But, sure, blame the administration. Throw out the concept of MAGA because the other side fights back and everything isn't easy. Get the voters who're on our side black-pilled or poised to embrace a radical agenda which isn't MAGA because their emotions are running at the fever pitch.

162 Historically I think practically every currency has been demonetized or de-valued, bonds and debt repudiated, economic “reforms”.

I think that there is a suicide pact with the trading nations and a huge reason for why the Europeans currencies merged into one traded currency. Also why China is not transparent about their currency.

None of the world's trading partners wants their currency to stay relatively stronger or weaker than its partners/competitors (for a myriad of reasons) so when Europe does stupid shit that causes their currency to lose value, Japan, US and other trading partners need to do same so that the arbitrage between the currencies is such that currency wreckers don't come in Soros the Central Bank.

How the various nations hurt themselves is left up to the Davos crowd and the personal schemes devised by the usual political grifters.

Because if a decrease in rents the formula for control wouldn't have applied. The Common Council passed a law saying we should vote ignore the formula. Our prog mayor showed a little sense and vetoed the law. The common council will override the veto at which point the landlords will sue.

A lot of wealth is tied up in physical assets like real estate.

Wealth is not income. You don't "earn" wealth in a particular state, you can earn an income.

It gets more fun when the wealth is held by a living trust or other legal entity and the "rich guy" has as much access and enjoyment of the wealth in the role of administrator.

Then, after about two years I get a nasty letter from the state of CA telling me I'm delinquent on the vehicle taxes and the truck is going to be repo'd.

I prefer to imagine America with only 0 immigrants a year for a period of the next 10-20 years.

When your home has been flooded, you cannot begin to repair it until you first remove all the water.

The same applies to illegal aliens. Until every last illegal alien has been deported, it makes zero sense to allow in any more immigrants. Since every last person involved with the immigration process must be focused on deportation of illegal aliens.

That said, I will not be holding my breath that this will ever happen in my lifetime.

- You could sit at home without caring for an elderly parent who really doesn't need it, make about $75,000 to $90,000 a year.
- Now you add 2 parents, that's $180,000
- Now you add your in-laws, $250,000

You continue to add this and you wonder what are the services being provided? So a lot of providers came and said fraud is occurring — Their home health care networks saying we'll make it worth your while.

Well, sounds like a kickback to me.

So we really need to investigate the Medicaid system and how much it's increased since the Somalian population came and who really needs critical care because that's meant for our disabled, our elderly and people who really need it not to just live off our system. And that's what's happening in Ohio. I think it's ridiculous. I think it's despicable."
