The Morning Report — 1/27/26

Good morning kids. Remember back in the halcyon days of Barack Hussein Obama when he proposed the creation of some kind of a domestic national security force that was to have more funding, perhaps even double that of the Defense (now War) department. Try as I might, I'll be damned if I can find an actual link to that scheme. I know I'm not imagining it, and if anyone can find it, just send me an e-mail or put it in the comments.

Update, Here is a link Obama's Civililan National Security Force, and thanks to commenter Additional Blond Agent, STEM Guy!

Be that as it may, the jug-eared bastard was actually on to something, especially given the sucking chest wound to whatever is left of our Republic as founded that is Minneapolis Minnesota. Speaking of the Republic as founded, perhaps one of the jewels in its crown that made it a milestone of human societal advancement that defines the phrase American exceptionalism (that we as a people and society are the exception to the tyranny and despotism that came before us) is that of free speech and that we must tolerate even the most repugnant and abhorrent of views of our fellow citizens — also makes it one of if not its greatest Achilles heels. When the abuse of free speech leads to the kind of violence we are witnessing, it tears at the very fabric that is supposed to bind us together.

The Left is so fond of trotting out the Chestnut that "The Constitution is not supposed to be a Suicide Pact." Well, they're right about that and the longer we are forced to tolerate a political party and movement that seeks the destruction of our Republic by any means necessary, then we face the prospect of national assisted suicide if not fratricide at the hands of our supposed fellow citizens.

Along with Islam, I assert that Leftism is not compatible with an advancing, Western Judeo/Christian society. Its twisted vision of a society based on the bloody failure of Marxist/Leninist Communism/Socialism must be torn out root and branch from the American political and cultural landscape or it will be our undoing. Period full stop. A bitter irony is that those who have benefited mightily from America and free market capitalism have an enmity for both that is beyond comprehension.

Sunrise Movement is bankrolled by some of the country's most prominent nonprofit organizations, including Open Society Foundations, the Ford Foundation, and the MacArthur Foundation. The Minneapolis hotel smashed up overnight by anti-ICE rioters was on a target list created by the Twin Cities chapter of Sunrise Movement, a radical group funded by some of the country's most prominent nonprofit organizations, including George Soros’s Open Society Foundations, the Ford Foundation, and the MacArthur Foundation.Video footage shows dozens of anti-ICE rioters descending on Home2 Suites by Hilton near the University of Minnesota late Sunday night. The group used noisemakers and pounded on trash bins before turning violent—the rioters hurled items at people, smashed windows, destroyed the hotel’s façade, lit fireworks, and graffitied the building. As they attempted to force their way in, those inside were forced to use two vending machines to block the hotel’s entrance.

Why are at least two people dead and multiple federal law enforcement officers injured?
What broader principle are Democrats, liberals and leftists rioting over in Minneapolis?
. . . The broader consistent principle at stake isn’t federalism: it’s leftism. The entire political and cultural machine that has been mobilized over Minneapolis opportunistically supports wielding federal authority over states and state rejection of federal authority on immigration law only when the end result, whether state or federal, is open borders and mass illegal alien invasions.
This is true in all areas. The Left has no legal, let alone constitutional, principles, only goals. . . What this means in the broader sense is that we are not a nation of laws, but of leftists.
The Left does not believe in or follow any laws or principles other than its own politics. There is no rule of law (and certainly not of the Constitution) that applies consistently at all times. Laws are just a means to a leftist end. If a law is momentarily suited to that end, it will be upheld and suddenly trumpeted as the great pillar of democracy and all that separates us from the beasts. . . Don’t get the idea that the Left doesn’t believe in anything. It believes in a great many things. But those things don’t include the Constitution, the rule of the people, any laws that they don’t make and any limitations on their power to fundamentally transform America and the world. Everything else is transactional and disposable. . . America will either have the rule of law or the rule of leftists. That’s what this is about.

Daniel Greenfield gets totally gets it.

May God bless every bullet from every barrel of every ICE agent's weapon. May they find their mark right between the beady eyes of every brain dead zombie programmed by the Democrat Left to destroy us.

Here's to the founding of the Tailgunner Joseph McCarthy Defense of the Republic Department. Amen.

Have a great day.

On a personal note, today is Holocaust Remembrance Day and my thoughts turn to my mother of blessed memory who somehow survived Mauthausen, the labor brigades and a death march before finally making it to America to become an American and indeed a truly great one! God bless the Angels who the Lord sent in the form of the GIs from the 11th Armored Division who liberated her and her family.

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.

An antisemitic act that is a strong predictor of future danger in a community is cemetery desecration. In Manchester, for example, attackers defaced 100 graves in 2005 at a Jewish cemetery in the heart of the city’s Orthodox community. In a report on another attack on a Jewish cemetery in London a week later, The Guardian said it was the 117th attack on a Jewish cemetery in 15 years. Unfortunately, it wasn’t the last. In 2014, vandals attacked another Jewish cemetery in Manchester, covering it with anti-Semitic graffiti and swastikas. In 2016, attackers smashed 14 headstones at the same cemetery. Against the backdrop of such attacks on Jewish cemeteries, Jewish groups are condemning the attack on the Jewish section of Les Corts graveyard in Barcelona this past weekend. Over 20 graves were desecrated.

17 ICE goes into Minneapolis and does their job arresting/processing and deporting illegals. Local leftists get torqued, gin up anti-ICE protests and get national/international monetary support for it. Remember, ICE are glorified cops, process servers with a vest and a gun. It's more or less a purely legal exercise.

The situation degrades and violence ensues.

Call in the Border Patrol Service. The proverbial mounted calvary. Ride in, break some things, kill a few leftists. Be the stick. BPS took zero shit from the public, the "protesters" and certainly nothing from the paid agitators. They roughed up people.

Local politicos, especially one governor who's a weirdo, gets a sternly worded memo about FAFO. A couple days later the BPS is pulled from Minneapolis and the governor would like to talk to Trump about "turning down the heat."

Walz is done. He's either going to turn over Frey, the Lt. Governor and other, state/local politicians who've been involved in the insurrection or he's going down with them. Trump gave him an off-ramp yesterday to save his own skin.

28 We are now living in a time when facts and object truth no longer matters to a significant portion of the country. We can't agree on basic facts and it makes having rational discussions and even the rule of law obsolete.

Leftists don't want discussion and reasoned debate. They want force. They don't care about rules. The sooner we wake up to that basic truth and start acting accordingly the sooner we can get our country back. If we don't and keep arguing about which Trump appointee failed us because only we are playing by the rules we will lose our country. That simple.

37 Consultants offer these rosy estimates despite a 2018 Texas comptroller’s office report finding that most convention centers “do not cover their operating costs, and competition among them has risen sharply.”

“Convention centers are highly expensive operations, and most don’t make a profit,” the report adds, “particularly when considering the debt service payments involved in their construction.”

Big Govt football stadiums, ballparks, and convention centers are just sinkhole that allow pols to put up big contracts and get big donations all at the taxpayers expense.

42 We keep going over the same ground with the Left, learning and re-learning -- but never quite assimilating -- the same lessons. When does the breakthrough occur, the moment of total acceptance of reality, the awareness that shatters at last the old paradigm of bewilderment, defensiveness, shock, scandalized cries of hypocrisy, and unconscious appeal to the arbitrating heavens for fairness.

When do we really start to fight like our lives and our nation depend on it?

55 That R&H article was interesting, though I prefer Rodgers and Hart, myself (and Rodgers was apparently a cold asshole IRL). I did find a comment there interesting:

Not directly on topic, but does anyone know if Hello Dolly was the apotheosis of the Musical genre or a deliberate joke? It’s so wildly overdone that I can see it being either.

My opinion, FWIW, is that My Fair Lady is the perfect musical, but as far as Dolly is concerned, it has to be remembered that it's a Jerry Herman musical, and he had a weakness for big, brassy women who got big, brassy themes, such as Mame, Dear World or (the sexes being reversed0 La Cage Aux Folles.

I think the reason anyone would consider Dolly[ overdone is that they are only thinking of the title song and Carol Channing, whose Broadway career was almost entirely spent in that show.

Ice has now shown everyone in this city that if they put a hand on you, you are possibly now fighting for your life. Any person that got through law school will get both of these women off. (Phrasing! And they wouldn't want to, from what I've seen of these protesting women)

That's reality. You say that you know the Lt. Gov. is involved? Okay, what judge is gonna sign off on the arrest warrant?

That means you have to go through a grand jury and that both takes time and is secret.

139 Tribalism and “vigilante justice” is the default in human history. Still is in some parts of the globe.

A permanent cadre of professional 24/7 duly sworn law enforcement and legal code and the rest of it are just a recent blip in human history.

In effect we as a society have outsourced justice, an agreement to stand down - so long as the legal system does their part. That’s the “social compact” part of the deal.

We’re in that weird in-between period where they have decided to stop upholding their end of the bargain. Recall the DEI hire declaring the rioters “just need room to destroy”. Yet businesses and home owners are expected to dutifully continue to pay property tax and Feed The Machine.

A broken machine. What happens next is anyone’s guess, but I suggest depending on your location learning how to put together a Duty Roster and DA form 6 for roving guard duty. Suburbia is not defendable, nor are rural areas frankly.

Trump's team isn't perfect and they will make mistakes but I believe they do understand what we are up against. We are battling a communist insurgency. They ignore the rules and just keep pressing forward. Trump's legal team is facing unprecedented obstruction in the judicial system. Judges are making up rules or just ignoring them altogether. That's not Trump's team losing. That's corruption.

They are deporting orders of magnitude more illegals in state like TX and FL because those states are following the law. It's going to be a long fight but we have to keep at it and don't despair with setbacks. We can and will win if we keep fighting.

Its a bit more complex than that. Being part of the grid, electrical providers can pass along the cost of the construction of windmills in the form of higher rates (this is why Texas had huge build-out of all kinds of power: nuclear, CCGT, coal, etc.).

There is also the lucrative business of selling carbon credits generated by the windmills (which is its real business, not providing electricity, but carbon credits that are sold to "dirty" industry - a diabolical form of extortion)

Big Tech, Walmart and other companies with strong profits can reduce their taxable income by gaining credits through solar/wind projects they underwrite.

179 The Left does not believe in or follow any laws or principles other than its own politics.

This is one of the most singularly important points if you want to understand modern politics.

On a regular basis the left flips their "core beliefs" in a way, that if you believe they are in fact core beliefs makes no sense.

Federal Agents can kill Ashli Babbitt or Roselyn Boys from protesting if that protesting interferes with a government function, but Pretti and Good have a right to assault federal agents if they disagree with what those agents are doing. Bill Clinton can send a swat team after Elian Gonzalez but sending illegals home is abducting them and on and on...

And that's because the only thing they actually care about here is power.

192 MSNOW:

This digitally enhanced portrait made its debut on the program hosted by Nicolle Wallace, where it was presented alongside a critique of former President Donald Trump’s influence over public perception. The incident has raised questions about media ethics and the integrity of visual representation.

During the segment, Wallace commented on how Trump encourages Americans to distrust their own observations, stating, “Donald Trump and his administration are demanding once again that you do not believe your eyes and ears.” The juxtaposition of this statement with the manipulated image has led to widespread criticism from viewers, who have expressed concerns about the authenticity of the portrayal.

Telling you to believe your eyes and ears as they lie and manipulate images seems, well...........

202 Its a bit more complex than that. Being part of the grid, electrical providers can pass along the cost of the construction of windmills in the form of higher rates (this is why Texas had huge build-out of all kinds of power: nuclear, CCGT, coal, etc.).

There is also the lucrative business of selling carbon credits generated by the windmills (which is its real business, not providing electricity, but carbon credits that are sold to "dirty" industry - a diabolical form of extortion)

Big Tech, Walmart and other companies with strong profits can reduce their taxable income by gaining credits through solar/wind projects they underwrite.

Posted by: Unknown Drip Under Pressure

I did a deep dive into Texas' windmills a couple of years ago. $60 billion in spending over twenty years, of which over $20 billion was subsidies. One third of the cost was subsidy, and since the subsidy only covers building them, they don't maintain them.

As I started waking up, my wandering mind pondered:

As we lumber toward the 2026 election, I thought about that preponderance of voters who selected Trump. What was their motivation and how likely is it to work again?

Who voted Trump because of his rugged but elegant persona (or Melania)? Who voted because he was famous? an Outsider? Who voted for his policies ("I voted for this" as we say)? Who voted habitually Republican? Who voted because Not Democrat? And how do those categories break down for 2016, 2020, and 2024?

While someone not me does that polling, I'm going to have some coffee and read the Report.

220 The Super Bowl this year is a rematch of SB 49, in which probably the biggest coaching blunder of all time was committed: Seattle on the 1-yard line at the end of the game with the best short yardage back in the league (Marshawn Lynch).. so Pete Carroll’s OC decides to pass… INT… end of game, Patriots win. A meme was born: Run the damn ball!!

As much success as Carroll has had as a coach (SB victory and college championship) he’s also been a part of two huge blunders… the one already mentioned and the 2006 Rose Bowl when he didn’t have his best running back (Reggie Bush) on the field for a crucial 4th down play.. the stuff of nightmares for coaches…

It is easier to take the things you observe and force them into your narrative then it is to take them objectively and ask how if they are at odds with your narrative.

The left is worst at this because most leftists live in a tightly curated bubble of information but honestly they tend to be worse at critical thinking to begin with. Take the Good shooting.

The left initially argued two things: ICE can't arrest citizens and the ICE agent wasn't actually in front of her car so she wasn't a threat. Both were false. This didn't cause the people making those arguments any concern. Immediately the argument because both "she didn't hit him" and "she had a right to hit him because he was in front of her". Again the first was factually wrong. And the second? The left has made a thing of street riots boxing people in and argued the opposite for years now.

281 Judges are making up rules or just ignoring them altogether. That's not Trump's team losing. That's corruption.

Posted by: JackStraw at January 27, 2026 08:38 AM (viF8m)

What judges are not successfully doing is ruling illegal a long list of ICE actions most Leftists scream are illegal and un-Constitutional. There are websites and videos out there telling the faithful that it is illegal for ICE to:

-- Detain US citizens and permanent residents for any reason.
-- Use force on US citizens and permanent residents for any reason.
-- Use tear gas and pepper spray on any anyone.
-- Stop any vehicles for any reason
-- Ask anyone for their ID or name and address
-- Enter, forcibly or not, any residence without a US District Federal Judge-signed warrant, or permission of a resident.

And other things.

The faithful continue to intensely believe all those are blatantly illegal, despite ICE doing them forever without a Federal Court banning them, and few prominent Democrats publicly claiming they are illegal. As we here know, the Left's useful idiots and active foot soldiers are beyond reason.

>>The parents of Alex Pretti say their son quit his hospital job months ago and had shown “unusual behavior” recently. “He seemed to have joined some kind of group. We warned him two weeks ago — protest if you want, but don’t engage, don’t do anything stupid,” his father, Michael Pretti, told reporters. “He said he understood.” But it wasn’t until police pulled messages from Alex’s phone that the truth began to emerge — and what investigators found.

>>It seems that Pretti's parents didn't want him participating. It seems Pretti allegedly scrubbed his social media presence one day prior to his actions leading to his death. When you make decisions based on emotions, you make poor decisions. He made bad decisions.

Like I said, Trump gave Walz an off ramp. BPS was the "muscle" that the Feds sent into Minneapolis to bust heads. Shortly after they killed Pretti Walz called Trump "to turn down the temperature." After that phone call, look what happened.

I figure Walz was basically told to get the shit under control or the BPS was going to do it for him. And he wouldn't like how they did it.

Whether he rolls over on the Signal App stuff, Frey, Ellison, the Lt. Governor, etc. is anyone's guess. Presuming he even knew about it.

Trailers for the Heated Rivalry series have been shown during multiple NHL “Pride Night” games where children were undoubtedly present.

From what I understand, Minneapolis cratered after 2020's riots and hasn't even really begun to recover.

The only people left in the city are those who can't move and those who won't move because they love social justice so much that they enjoy the smell of burning tires.

326 My guess for what happened with Pretti...

He was not doing will in his medical career and was radicalized online. Nurse stuff is boring, "saving Democracy" is exciting.

If they do a deep dive on his posts on the leftist forums he was on they should be able to identify if he was hoping for "martyrdom by cop", if he was planning to assassinate someone and chickened out, or if he was just stupid in bringing a gun.

Because it is...bizarre that you'd plan to go and assault a cop trying to make an arrest while armed. The RKBA protests the left immediately compared this to feature armed protestors...not getting physically involved with cops.

328 (LifeSiteNews) — After the National Hockey League (NHL) showed trailers for HBO’s homosexual-themed series featuring glimpses of nude males engaged in graphic porn scenes on its giant jumbotrons during games, the newly minted porn stars were invited to carry the Olympic torch as it makes its way to the Winter Games in Italy next month.

Which arenas did this?

Likely then the story of the middle ages/Renaissance is no longer a conflict between Christians and Muslims but instead Catholic and Orthodox and probably less violent - perhaps more of a race between the two sides to explore/colonize/evangelize the world instead of as many major wars as there were.

A 2024 simulation found US civil war could be triggered by clashes between state and federal law enforcement.

United States federal immigration raids continue in Minnesota, and the operation has set the stage for a standoff between state officials and the federal government. Governor Tim Walz has readied Minnesota’s National Guard, while the Pentagon has ordered troops to be on standby. A 2024 University of Pennsylvania simulation warned that similar state-federal standoffs could escalate into broader armed conflict.

It was in Maine to refuel for a transatlantic flight, so the better question is where was it going on the other side of the pond, and for what purpose?

I sincerely hope that the victims died a mercifully quick death without great suffering.

The protest occurred on Saturday after a man was shot and killed in Minneapolis by federal agents.

In part, "The Philly protesters specifically called on Shapiro to stop giving "ICE full access to state databases with facial recognition data without judicial warrants," as well cooperation among the department of corrections and ICE, among several other demands.

"Our state police does not ask people their status, and we do not share any of that with the federal government," Shapiro said at the event, which was for his new book, "Where We Keep the Light."
...

"Governor Shapiro has made clear that everyone is welcome in Pennsylvania, no matter who you are, what you look like, who you love, or who you pray to," (Will) Simon (Shapiro's spokesperson) said. "He will continue to stand with Pennsylvania’s immigrant communities."

387 Per Grok - BO made the statement you're referring to during a campaign speech on July 2, 2008, in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The event focused on national service, foreign policy, and expanding civilian contributions to U.S. security and global goals.

"We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."
