The Morning Report — 2/16/26

Good morning kids. Hope you all had an enjoyable Valentine's Day weekend. With that in mind we kick off the week with terrorism at home and abroad and how they are linked, politically and perhaps quite literally.

First to a train in Brussels.

A short video clip filmed at the beginning of February has made its way onto social media, showing a pair of vacationing mothers from Alabama and their two 12-year-old daughters, who were confronted and terrorized by a knife-wielding man aboard a train in Brussels, Belgium.
Amanda Hardy, one of the mothers, later told reporters that a man emerged from the train car bathroom and approached them, first asking whether the women were American. He then asked, Hardy recounted, “‘Do you like ICE?’ And we did not respond to that. He then pulled out a knife – our estimation is about 18 inches long or so. He then threw down a jacket and a scarf on the ground, and that’s when he said, ‘F__ ICE, I can shoot too. I shoot faster than Americans.’”
. . .Hardy and Sucher reportedly believe this happened to them because they are American and because of their perceived political beliefs (hence the question about ICE). I think it’s clear that this is so. As for the perpetrator: the lack of even a rough description in the media, the presence of an 18-inch knife, the casual terrorizing of women and children in public… Add an unsympathetic police force to the mix, and all this points to the usual suspects – and it’s not indigenous French men.

Yes, and considering this is Belgium which will very soon become absorbed into the global Islamic ummah, it's most likely that the perpetrator was indeed a Muslim. And yet, something to me stinks on ice (pun intended). No doubt the situation in America and in particular Minnesota is getting global media coverage and so the perp was likely a swarthy third-worlder. But then again he could've been an American leftist who, upon hearing either the victim's southern accent or even a snippet of her conversation with her fellow travelers decided to snap into action.

Europe is after all the birthplace of Islam's political kissing cousin and current ally of convenience, Antifa.

A 23-year-old Frenchman has reportedly died after being severely beaten by Antifa terrorists during a violent confrontation in Lyon on the evening of February 12, according to local reports and messages shared on social media. The incident took place near Sciences Po Lyon in the city’s 7th district, where a conference was being held by Rima Hassan, a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) representing the ultra-left-wing party La France Insoumise (France Unbowed).
Members of the female-led anti-mass migration activist group Collectif Némésis had gathered outside the venue to protest Hassan’s appearance. Tensions reportedly escalated between them and counter-protesters described as far-left militants. The situation devolved into a street brawl.

Meanwhile, far from Brussels, the insanity is sprouting all over back here in the US of A...

A woman was captured on surveillance video attempting to set fire to a warehouse in Kansas City, Missouri, that had been rumored as a possible immigration detention facility. Footage shared by local outlet KMBC shows the woman, dressed in sandals, jeans, a short-sleeve black shirt, and carrying a small backpack, pouring an accelerant along the side of the building before striking a match. A second container of accelerant is visible near her feet.The warehouse is located within the 49 Crossing industrial complex and had previously been considered for sale for potential use by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as an immigration detention center. However, the property owner, Platform Ventures, announced Thursday that it would not proceed with the sale. . . The arson attack comes amid heightened tensions nationwide over immigration enforcement and the expansion of detention facilities. In recent months, leftist activists have clashed with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents at various sites across the country, including protests that escalated into confrontations outside detention facilities. Federal officials have also confirmed investigations into organized anti-ICE activist networks.

And here's a two-fer from the Oscar Hammestein "You've Got to be Carefully Taught Dept. Firstly:

Eighth-grade students at a Minnesota middle school were taught in geography class that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents use “tricky & violent tactics,” and were given extra credit for watching a British-produced video on the problem of illegal immigration in the United States.
Materials obtained by Defending Education show that the students at Hermantown Community School were given a highly politicized lesson on illegal immigration and ICE operations. The materials included a PowerPoint that adopted left-wing talking points on immigration and a video produced by a British broadcaster on ICE operations in Chicago.
The instruction at the Duluth-area school took place in December 2025 and featured a PowerPoint where students were asked: “In what ways do people think the Ice agents have ‘gone too far’?”
. . . “It’s bad enough that this biased lesson is replete with falsehoods — but [for] the school principal to defend such garbage truly adds insult to injury,” she said. “Students are being force-fed ideological propaganda during finite lesson time (when they’re not being encouraged by activist teachers to walk out of their classrooms, that is) and told what to think, rather than how to think. It’s little wonder that families are fleeing the public education system in droves.”

Number two, thank goodness for the sanity of our military, eh?

Few organizations know more about leadership than the United States Army. Yet for years, the Army paid an outside consultant for instruction on the topic: A fly-by-night company co-founded by a Pakistani who sits on the board of an organization once linked to the Muslim Brotherhood.
Between 2021 and 2025, the Army Corps of Engineers shelled out $1.7 million across eight contracts to the vaguely-named Nonprofit Empowerment Group. The group is actually a for-profit, bare-bones operation configured to scoop up federal contracts using woman-owned “set-asides.”

And so it goes. The aforementioned gives you a PRETTI GOOD idea of how we wind up with Spenser Rapones and Nidal Hasans and other Guerrillas in our midst.

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.

"remember those images".

What images? Those images were made nearly one hundred years ago. The images kids see these days are dick picks, WF whores, cat photos and plates of food.

The dystopian images of Germany are either concentration camp memorials or images of the Berlin Wall. Other then Schindler's List, released in 1993, what popular "Nazi" images are out there? Does anyone under 50 even watch the History Channel?

Think of this as a physical weakness - for too long we've let these weaklings control the HEALTHY (countries that do have a national identity).

and this is not all ethnicity - Canada is a weakling/invalid like Belgium is. But the USA is NOT. There are various reasons - I think Canada if split could become several healthy nations, but they'd still have a "Belgium" in there.

72 Iran supposedly has some of the most advanced surveillance capabilities in the world, including tracking citizens through facial recognition software and mobile device and app monitoring.

One thing I have noticed when giving logging and tracking tools to software developers is that they don't know what to log, so they log all of the things, and when its 2 AM and its time to fix a system that fell over, the noise crowds out the signal. Even building dashboards requires a lot of work just to tune out the false positives which are legion, and after a short while people ignore them.

Now take stupid and lazy people who really don't have any skin in the game and you give them these tools that benefit someone other than themselves over causes they couldn't care less about.

Surveillance tools are great for the vendor, not so much for the end-user.

77 “What was known about Jeffrey Epstein was that he had been convicted of a crime and had served his sentence,” Chomsky told a prying reporter. “According to US laws and norms, that yields a clean slate.”

No, Chomsky, it yields the end of the criminal prosecution, incarceration, and parole.

It does not give anybody a "clean slate".
The slate is still there with the writing still on it, commonly referred to by us mere mortals as a "criminal record," and in this case quite a public record.

Noam is excusing his own conscience for remaining friends with a man who is, by all accounts, a slimy piece of shit, ostensibly as repayment for work Epstein did to stop Chomsky's children from telling him how to spend his own money.

And I find that last part to be both hilarious and revealing.

Noam, the life-long anarcho-syndicalist commie, getting irritated that somebody would dare tell him what to do with his savings from his life's labor, and the profits he made from his books and other capitalist endeavors.

Let's assume that, against all odds, we somehow prevail against the Left in the political (or even military) struggle to come.

If we're ever going to reckon with the problems in this country, the upper ranks of the institutional Left will have to be dealt with quite harshly, obviously, and many of those in the lower ranks will have to be more or less shut out of public life.

But it would be a counterproductive mistake to let the need for containment of the threat to bleed into the desire for righteous vengeance - most of those lower-ranking functionaries just need to be neutralized, not punished, and the rank and file Democrat voter must be treated generously, though never allowed to vote again (or their children).

There is one major exception, though: the schoolteachers. For one thing, justice must be served, and they've done so much damage that they can't just be given a pass. And, they must be made an example to discourage future schoolteachers from crossing the line ever again. Canal work should feature prominently in this, and the professors should get the Final Knoutdown.

Another Democrat 'star' the media used to declare was a contender for POTUS someday, has all but vanished. Gretchen Whitmer,, Governor of Michigan. Strange. Or a calculated move by Whitmer's handlers this far away from the '28 primary campaign? I'll cheer if she's never POTUS or VPOTUS.

192 But I see the Taliban offering support to Iran. Iran and Afghanistan are making a really obvious misjudgment: they think they are fighting Biden. They aren't.

Maybe Hegseth's special forces can stop by in Afghanistan to collect some of the tens of billions of military gear that the Taliban has been storing for Biden before rolling in to Iran.

I'm sure that the Biden sycophants will say that was the plan all along to stage military gear in Afghanistan for just this reason.

As I mentioned earlier, the main culprits in this debacle are the local politicians. County mostly. They pulled such a con job on the rubes that the area will likely never recover unless Ford's decision to move their F-150 production down to the abandoned factory is finalized.

The local politicians made wild promises, fast tracked demolition of homes and farms to make room for an expanded interstate on/off ramp and the factories themselves. They literally killed an entire town and the surrounding area for this.

Years before Trump's second term.

Puppies have to learn somewhere how to show, to be with other dogs, to hear the show noises, to be gone over by a stranger.

You can take them to handling class or to a BPUP match. At a BPUP, there may be only about 10 or 20 million people there to dote over them and tell them how lovely they are.

She's fronting a narrative from the party, signaling moderation on an issue that they have no intention of moderating on. It's mouth sounds with no action behind it because she has no actual power.

"AOC, who is in the House, says that they do."

The Party can't control its own narratives all that well anymore because too many radicals are too prevalent across too many institutions.

We are the last and only hold-out against a world-wide islamo-communist totalitarian superstate run out of London and Beijing.

I expect 'humane' will be a term used in a lot of Dem campaign speeches and ads this year. About many topics. I also expect the Dems will offer few specific details about their humane policies. The details would piss-off most voters.

276 "... that describes a plot within the government to spy on the Nixon White House..."
- - - - - - - -
We're still finding out about Nixon's enemies to this day. The all-important "Deep Throat", Mark Felt, apparently was passed over for a higher role before he turned leaker.

The story is that, during the Watergate operation, some watchman found tape on the door and that lead to the discovery of the 'burglary'. At this point, we know how foul and polluted the deep state is, was, and shall forevermore be. So, would it be hard to imagine that there was a double agent that tipped off others about the operation? Or to push the blame onto Nixon?

And a side effect of all that was the election of Carter, "History's Worst Monster".

Anybody can.
All you need is a good open source model and you can train them yourself.

For less tech-savy parents educational AI companies with competitive curriculum could offer products or subscriptions.
(Something like PragerU-AI or something).

Support forums online can help DIY types.

That's a lot of billions for eight centers (almost $5B/center). We need to up the cash offer for illegals to self deport, maybe offer them each a new car once they reach Mexico, or something.

He's been a huge disappointment, and so terrible at his job that he's being completely ignored. NYC is so over.

He can babble all he wants, the minute he actually will try and do something, the big guns will come out and blow him out of the water. So he will make little announcements, some people will point and shout, and another group of say 5% of the movers and shakers who get things done will leave. It is the beginning of the whirlpool - and it will take the islamo-commies right down with them.

299 The Ministry for Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism announced that Oxfam, the British-founded confederation of 21 independent NGOs, will cease operations in Gaza effective February 28, 2026, pursuant to a decision by the Ministry, which oversees the registration of humanitarian organizations operating in Gaza and Judea and Samaria.

The announcement follows a February 13, 2026, interview on Channel 4 News, in which Oxfam CEO Dr. Halima Begum made a series of public statements regarding internal dynamics within the organization. In the interview, she alleged that she was pressured to use the term “genocide" in relation to Gaza without sufficient factual basis. She also accused elements within the organization’s leadership of antisemitism and of maintaining a disproportionate and irrational focus on the crisis in Gaza compared to other humanitarian crises worldwide.

As I drifted over to the link 'Whatever happened to that communist lieutenant? The Army won’t say.' I thought this article also very interesting: 'US Army leaders say future European fight could mean 1,500 targets daily,' Fri. Feb. 13th, 2026. In part, "Drawing on lessons from Ukraine, the leaders described a battlefield where waves of drones, missiles and artillery could generate targets faster than a traditional headquarters can process them."

The great US obsession, with greater tolerance than for our own? 🤷‍♀️

302 Putin's 'De-Nazification of Ukraine' not going well, it would appear.

In March 2022, President Zelenskyy announced the suspension of 11 political parties with alleged ties to Russia, including the Opposition Platform — For Life (OPZZh), Party of Shariy, Nashi, Opposition Bloc, and the Communist Party of Ukraine.
Continued Bans: In June 2024, the Our Land party was also banned, bringing to 19 the total number of parties banned since the full-scale invasion.
Martial Law: Parliamentary elections, originally scheduled for 2023, and presidential elections (2024) have been postponed until after the end of martial law.
Future Trends: Political analysis suggests a shift toward two main camps in the future: a "military" bloc (trusted armed forces and volunteers) and a "civilian" bloc, as well as the de-oligarchization (wth?) of party funding.
