The Morning Report — 1/22/26

Good morning kids. As someone who has written professionally for many years, including books, screenplays and editorials, I can honestly say that one thing I am particularly proud of is, believe it or not, a single word! Chutzpocrisy For the sake of those who are not regular readers of this column, it is a mashup of the Yiddish word "chutzpah" which means gall and the English word hypocrisy.

Given the nature of the Democrat/Left insofar as who and what they are and what they have done to our nation and society, more and more with each passing year if not week or day, the things that they do and say are so perfectly encapsulated in that word. Today's example comes from a particularly loathsome bastard, one Hakeem Jeffries.

On Wednesday’s broadcast of MS NOW’s “Morning Joe,” House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) commented on the possibility of a government shutdown over ICE by saying that, among “things that we believe are appropriate in this instance, are demanding be part of any final bill,” would be a requirement that “ICE should not be able to storm houses of worship, hospitals, and schools.”

The unmitigated chutzpocrisy of this radioactive glittering turd is so unbearable that even Ray Charles wearing iridium-coated Raybans could feel a searing pain in his eye sockets were he watching from the surface of a supernova 5 billion light years from earth,

Storming houses of Worship, hospitals and schools?! Not even a single peep when Don Lemon who might have organized and led a band of "agitators" and stormed into a Minneapolis church over the weekend to "protest" ICE's rounding up of criminal illegal aliens in that city in particular and all over the nation in general. Ditto the raking of police stations with gunfire as well as synagogues and religious schools with little children in them.

The words "agitators" and "protest are in quotes because this was an act of dictionary and legal definition terrorism carried out by terrorists. Irrespective of the fact that this might have been the church where the priest was identified as supposedly being in the employ or otherwise working with ICE, the act of violently and loudly bursting into a church during a service to shriek at the parishioners is beyond abhorrent. It is straight up evil.

Asking Hakeem Jeffries what he thinks of this is a waste of breath. His silence speaks volumes. He like all the other demonic vermin in the coven known as the Democrat party are cheering this on.

Well, there's terrorism, there's state-sponsored terrorism and then there's this!

Gov. JB Pritzker, in a statement, said the allegations “raise serious concerns for people struggling to maintain housing — and the communities that have been profiled and relentlessly targeted by the federal government during its violent immigration enforcement operations. State law prohibits discrimination, and that includes aiding or abetting conduct intended to interfere with housing and civil rights. Illinois will not tolerate conduct that puts anyone in Illinois at risk of discrimination or harm.”
To be clear about what’s going on here, the Pritzker regime in Illinois has decided to define cooperation with federal law enforcement as a form of illegal discriminatory conduct that it can penalize.
After demonstrating that landlords can be penalized for tipping off ICE, then it’ll be the turn of other small businesses, and then finally cooperating with ICE will be deemed a ‘hate crime’.

Meh. This is from the same people who created the Garland Archipelago and rounded up anyone who was within 5 miles of the Capitol on January 6th 2021 for the crime of protesting the election the Democrats stole. Just as no Democrats will ever face justice let alone go to prison for all their crimes, you can bet that this landlord is going to be sent straight to Joliet Prison courtesy of a rigged prosecutor, Judge and jury. The message is now loud and clear, the Democrats now run Barter Town, they have proclaimed themselves Master/Blaster and Aunty Entity rolled into one. Defy them and one way or another it's (finger across neck in slicing motion).

Frey said, “In Minneapolis, we will not cooperate with ICE or any federal agency around immigration enforcement work, we will not. And there’s a good reason, by the way, that we won’t, and it’s not just the moral imperative here, it’s also the fact that I want our police officers focusing on safety.”

If Jacob Frey is not arrested and charged with insurrection, and the Insurrection Act invoked, then the next church that is targeted by Leftists will have parishioners shot to ribbons.

As CBD and I discussed on the latest episode of the podcast, linked here and in the sidebar as well as at the usual outlets listed at the bottom of this post, every decent God-fearing American, arm yourself to the teeth and carry when you go to church or synagogue.

Have a great day.

And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

On Wednesday, the Supreme Court heard arguments in Trump v. Cook, the case testing whether President Trump can fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook based on allegations of mortgage fraud. Justice Brett Kavanaugh expressed concern that granting the president too much deference in removal decisions would effectively create at-will firing authority, rendering the Federal Reserve Act’s “for cause” requirement meaningless. But Kavanaugh’s worry overlooks the law’s actual check on presidential abuse: the Senate confirmation process.

I do like the Babylon Bee's Pentecostal Church Riot story.

Though I don't disagree that it is evil, this is mild compared to their usual interaction with the church: vandalism, arson, shootings, banning worship due to the flu, etc.

A few of the reasons we are hearing of this one is because Don Lemond was feeling he wasn't getting enough attention, and BLM coffers needing replenishment so they field a fund raising stunt.

He got A deal. I have a feeling it's not Greenland becoming US territory. He left plenty of wiggle-room on what he would accept. Some kind of treaty guaranteeing US control of surrounding waters, mineral rights, right to build military facilities and station troops. Basically, all the rights and activities he wanted, but not official ownership of the land.

What are JB Pritzker's thoughts on Virginia HB 333 which requires schools to teach:

• that the 2020 Election was the purest most responsible election ever held;
• banning the word "peaceful" when describing J6 demonstrations,
• must include the words "unprecedented violent attack on United States democratic institutions, infrastructure and representatives"

This is not only to be taught, but a criminal act not to include this in all Virginia instruction materials.

75 White women in Minnesota telling a black ICE agent he is a race traitor for arresting illegals.

There is a lot to unpack from that one small statement.

The most interesting, that clearly needs more definition, is the term "race traitor".

First of all, these knuckleheads consider "Islam" to be a race, they routinely group Hispanics as "White" when booking them as criminals, and think that someone who has a white mother and an unknown black father is "black" (who might not even be, himself one hundred percent black)

But the word "traitor"... especially in the context of immigration status and nationality. My immediate thought is if we keep "traitor" in its somewhat original form, she literally is considering this person's immigration to be included in an act of war and a bona fide invasion

2) Muduro gets snatched while the Chinese trade delegation is in town, tracking their movements to confirm where Muduro was.

Spy vs. Spy.

Code Pink is heavily funded by the Chinese.
We in 1, told China we know and have mapped their network.
In 2, we told them they don't know how much we've mapped and, worse for them, they have no idea how extensive our spy network is.

Trump didn't show MTG a poll she'd lose the senate race--he showed her proof she's compromised and has taken money from and provided intel to China.
She blew up b/c she took it as a personal offense to call her friend Media Benjamin, a Chinese spy.

Nope. Just a legal name change. And some "certificate of co-habitation" or such.

Why does that matter?

B/c the $1.5 million GoFundMe is for "the widow and family of Renea Good."

You know how women almost always want to "burn the whole MFer down" in a divorce? The "if I can't have it, I'll make sure no one will" scorched earth?

Lesbo relationships are statistically, far more often violent and abusive.
And Becca is going to burn the whole MFer down once Renea's family says that $1.5 milli is theirs.

And the only way to do that is to void the GFM.
Meaning, Becca is going to release the whole vid, showing extensive criminal acts prior by Renea.

166 Regarding Minnesota, Trump is acting like the vastly underrated Union General "Pap" Thomas, a loyal Virginian who has the unique honor of completely destroying not one but two enemy field armies during the Civil War. Nashville was his masterpiece, and it was the only time a major field army was taken off the board by either side.

Yet at the time, Grant was irate with him for taking so long, and considered firing him. Thomas had to deal with winter weather, but also wanted to break the back of Confederate resistance completely, and he did so, shattering Hood's army completely. It ceased to exist as an organized entity, but was instead reduced to scattered groups of disorganized stragglers.

Trump is moving behind the scenes, but also giving the left more rope to hang themselves. Each outrage further strengthens his hand. It's frustrating, but the left keeps stepping rakes, and being able to lock up Don Lemon is a hoot. The left is in a purity spiral, and allowing them to drive ever more normies into fits of rage is a good thing.

237 > Alaska vs. Greenland: Two Inuit homelands, two systems—and very different outcomes

There are no "Inuit" in Alaska. While the Inupiat are fairly closely related to the Canadian Inuit, and don't usually mind being called that (you might get a behind-your-back eye roll), the largest group of Alaskan Eskimos, by far, is the Yupik. Historically the two groups did not get along (to put it mildly). Most of them do not like being called "Inuit". At all.

Calling a Yupik "Inuit" is like calling a Spaniard "French" because they both speak Romance languages, or an Arab a "Jew" because they both speak Semitic languages.

In other words, there's some probability of getting your ass kicked.

We're only in this mess because a bunch of stupid white Canadian communists decided that Eskimo is a racist term (it isn't) and that "Inuit" is the correct term for all speakers of Eskimo-Aleut languages (it isn't).

We won't even go into how pissed off the Indians ("Native Americans") get if you call them "Inuit" OR "Eskimo".

Unless you're 100% sure what the person is, and what he wants to be called, your best policy is to refer to him as an "Alaska Native".

There's that and I think something at least equally profound if less obvious. Trump is reordering the world power structure. Globalism is dead and the multi-culti, touchy feely approach to world affairs is over. There is one super power left in the world and it's the United States of America. No alliance like NATO is going to dictate how we operate any longer. We will determine how we operate.

255 The Lincoln cannot onboard 25,000 troops. Even if all of the Lincoln's ship's company were off-loaded and the carrier air wing component flown off, it couldn't support 25,000 troops.

Perhaps there are other ships in the strike group that can, but, no, not the Lincoln.

286 UK Telegraph: The United States will control parts of Greenland by designating them as sovereign base areas under the terms of a proposed deal agreed in Davos.

Under the deal, which mimics Britain’s agreement with Cyprus, American bases on the Arctic island would be considered US territory, The Telegraph understands.

This all could have been easily done without the drama.Denmark is incredibly favorable toward the US and would have welcomed the idea of additional military bases.

I don't really care for how we treated our allies on this, but I'm glad we've come to a deal everyone can live with. The President's use of leverage here was like pointing a pistol at a friend and telling them to pass the beer, but hey, at least we got a drink

Off to the oral surgeon, who wrenched the bugger out (in four pieces) with surgical pliers. So today is a day of rest, especially after a sleepless night. Pain is almost gone, but there's a hole that requires frequent care, and I'm on the soft food diet for a while.

327 ... I've seen this story/theory that Seward's Folly was really a repayment to the Czar for help during the Civil War. The Czar supposedly threw in Alaska to deflect attention that it was a repayment for naval blockage help.

Russia was quite supportive of the Union during the Civil War, and did supply it with some intelligence re the British, but that was about it. Their support did play a factor in the Senate debate about the Alaska purchase.

The main reason they wanted to sell Alaska to us was because they didn't want the British to get it.

Fun fact: The last shots of our Civil War were fired in Russian waters, by the Confederate raider CSS Shenandoah, against Yankee whalers.

Never ending or beginning on an ever-spinning reel

And the world is like an apple whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find in the windmills of your mind

Most of the time. If we were going to invade Iran by onshoring 25,000 troops, several Amphibs would be part of the flotilla making way for CENTCOM. I cannot find a single, reliable source that puts a single Amphib heading that way.

No, but if we were smart, we'd recognize that the entire Islamic world is at war with the rest of the world.

It could be purposefully false information to force Iran to consider an amphibious assault. If you have 25,000 troops off the coast, troops have to be moved out of the cities to counter it.

Inflatable tanks, phantom amphibious assaults. Same concept.

CNBC:

Top business leaders this week delivered an expletive-laden plea in defense of climate action, describing the backlash to Europe’s green transition as an “aberration.”

In an interview with CNBC at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Allianz
CEO Oliver Bäte said he disagreed with the suggestion that it may just be a matter of time before net zero is dismissed in Europe, saying short-term thinking on this issue is “bulls---.”

Asked about political leaders backtracking on their much-vaunted European Green New Deal and Norway’s oil fund reportedly defending a push from companies to water down their climate goals, Bäte said anyone who has children “will have to worry” about the planet’s future.

I would think, maybe even presume, we'd need a bit more than 25K troops to invade Iran. And be successful at whatever they were supposed to do there.
