The Morning Report — 3/18/26

Good morning kids. With a nod to Gil Scott-Heron . . .

it looks as if we almost lost Cleveland.

Residents across Northeast Ohio got a shock the morning of St. Patrick's Day. A bright fireball streaked across the sky around 9:00 a.m., visible in multiple states before a loud boom rattled homes from Cleveland into parts of Pennsylvania and New York. Windows shook, phones lit up, and, for a moment, people wondered if something far more serious had happened. The object started as a small asteroid about six feet wide, weighing close to seven tons, and entered Earth's atmosphere at more than 40,000 miles per hour. The fireball first became visible about 50 miles above Lake Erie near Lorain, traveling roughly 34 miles before breaking apart about 30 miles above Valley City in Medina County. The breakup produced the flash and the shockwave people felt on the ground. . . The energy released reached about 250 tons of TNT, which sounds large until you place it next to a historical benchmark.
The Tunguska blast in Siberia in 1908 released between 10 and 15 megatons of energy. The difference isn't small: Tunguska was tens of thousands of times more powerful and flattened more than 800 square miles of forest. . .
. . . The fireball over Ohio didn't bring destruction, but it offered a clear reminder of what moves through space every day. A slightly larger object, a lower breakup point, or a different angle could've changed the story. Cleveland heard the boom and felt the shake, then went back to their day.
That outcome wasn't guaranteed. It was luck.

Depending upon how one considers what we here at the HQ refer to as the SMOD, the Sweet Meteor of Death, the aforementioned luck was either good or bad. In any case, wow. Forget about mining asteroids, if some egghead out there wanted to make a fast buck, figure out a way to weaponize asteroids to bring them down on Red China, Iran, Russia or whoever and then con the War Dept. or Sandia to give you a few hundred million to develop a prototype. It'd be the perfect cover for a first strike on an enemy that left no evidence.

Moving on from the Science FRICTION department to other things that rub the wrong way . . .

Like the National Counterterrorism Director Joe Kent whose letter of resignation was a transparent attack on President Trump and his almost total evisceration of the globalist America last/never foreign policy of Foggy Bottom/Langley et al.

99% of the time when a local politician goes national, turns out to be a squish or a quisling, there were warnings locally. And most of the time people at the national level didn’t pay attention. I remember trying to break through the social media bubble of everyone who enjoyed Chris Christie’s viral video takedowns to get out the message that he was a fraud, that he had actually implemented every liberal policy and was an Islamic apologist. For many people it didn’t sink in until that hurricane photo with Obama. For others it didn’t sink in until he stabbed Trump in the back. . . he got the counterterrorism job as some sort of consolation prize for losing elections.
But there were warnings that Joe Kent was not what he seemed to be when he first ran for office. Ex-CIAers who run for office should be treated with extra scrutiny. And Kent scrambled to explain why he was a registered Democrat who had voted for Bernie Sanders. His explanation that he was trying to help Trump win and sabotage Dems was fishy. . .
. . . Anyone talking about an alliance between the Left and the Right, dismissing MAGA and America First, is out to take down America. This is exactly what we used to call RINOs before they got smart and started trying to disguise themselves as MAGA. But in the end, they always out themselves. Kent sure did.
Long before this happened, we should have listened to the local conservatives.

Well, there's the stabbing in the back and then there's the full frontal assault.

Susan Rice, who played leading roles in the Obama and Biden administrations, has broken a Washington code of silence by threatening that anyone who plays ball with the Trump administration will suffer payback the next time Democrats take control.
‘When it comes to the elites, you know, the corporate interests, the law firms, the universities, the media, it’s not going to end well for them.’ ” she said on a podcast.
“They’re going to be held accountable by those who come in opposition to Trump and win at the ballot box,” Rice added. She is no stranger to dirty tricks, having been involved in the Obama administration’s spying on Trump’s 2016 White House campaign. As such, her threat marks yet another example of how the left preaches one thing and practices the opposite. It blames Trump for destroying historic norms despite how the last two Dem presidents abused their power for nakedly partisan purposes.

Meh, forget the IRGC, the greater threat to America comes from the DNC. Meh, this is nothing new. We've seen this tyranny before, with every shampeachment and every single time a rogue hack-in-black issues an injunction against this President's constitutional executive branch authority. It's all well and good to root for the freedom of the Persian people and the long suffering Cubans, but unless and until the cancer of Susan Rice and her ilk are excised from our society, it won't be long before we too go the way of Iran circa 1979 and Cuba 1959.

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.

Defining Victory Over Iran
For anyone who questions whether Israel and the United States should have attacked Iran, I suggest looking at the Iranian behavior with clarity, not with emotions.

They have attacked Israel with no intent other than to harm and kill civilians. This is the definition of an evil regime.

Unlike the Kurds in 1991, the Iranians of 2026 will have a genuine chance to wrest their freedom because of five key reasons . . .

This time, the rebels can win.

I think that the biggest proof that election fraud is a huge, ongoing issue is in the Democrats' insistence that it is nonexistent or extremely rare. Anyone truly concerned with election integrity would at least allow for the possibility that it is — or could be — a serious problem that should be safeguarded against. If Democrats were saying something like, "Look, we want secure and transparent elections too, we just don't agree with the kinds of protections that you want," I might think that they weren't complete fraudsters. Instead, their position is essentially, "Move along...nothing to see here!" They're like kids who just broke a lamp in the other room and are trying to keep their parents from going in there to see it by pretending that there never was a lamp.

25 If obsolete fighter aircraft can be converted to target drones, why can’t the US convert some older C-130s into “big bad drones” loaded with small arms, ammo, bacon, and spam. Crash land them in an open area near Tehran for the civilians to scavenge.
A later, more advanced drone could unload pallets and parachutes of the same supplies before crash landing. Civilians in Tehran could make good use of that stuff.

Everyone is obviously angry the government makes security rules and then walks away from their part of the deal.

77 Tom Steyer is possibly the most dangerous man in California today. Drawing from his own personal wealth, he has virtually unlimited campaign cash. He has secured the endorsements of some of the most powerful, radical labor unions in the state, most of them from the public sector, and there is a good chance some of the remaining union power brokers—the California Teachers Association comes immediately to mind—will recognize his viability and add their weight to his union coalition. And Steyer has a campaign staff that knows what it’s doing.
==============================
Steyer is an unpleasant attention-grabbing man, an ostensible "environmentalist" who made much of his money investing in coal mining and shipment, a "man of the people" who travels with a large personal security force on private jets, and a hard-left oligarch who would be totally comfortable living and working in Beijing or Shanghai.

93 When the federal government first imposed an income tax in 1913, it was very much like a millionaire’s tax.

The law included a $3,000 personal exemption, which is equal to roughly $100,000 today. And even then, the rate was a mere 1% up to $20,000 (or $670,000 in today’s money). And the seven tax brackets topped out at 7% on incomes that in today’s dollars would exceed $17 million.

To fuck over a few rich people we took the greatest idea in taxation (apportionment to the State) and transferred the burden to the person.

With regards to Joe Kent; who referred him to the administration for the position? Who then vetted this guy? 15 minutes of digging through his social media posts would have likely revealed some issues that normally would have precluded his selection.

But that's the only bad thing he did. He doesn't like Jews, and he thinks that Jews put Trump up to this. So he quit. Big deal.

I wish him no luck in his future endeavors, because they will probably be stupid endeavors, but it's still a marked improvement on the behavior of most IC scumbags.

As a rule, these guys burrow down and work against Trump, undermining his agenda from inside the wire. If you hate our ally in the war enough that it hinders your ability to execute your duties, then you owe it to the sailors and airmen to leave. Your presence is putting them at risk.

I wish most of our foreign service and intelligence agents would flounce like this, or preferably more quietly, but whatever. Israel seems to be handling most of the intelligence legwork on this job, anyway.

Trump's entire foreign policy is to isolate and weaken China, who our military and foreign service leadership all work for. In the coming struggles, I expect to see many of them do far worse than this guy. Trump's fight with them isn't about Israel, but about their country - China.

And the "Republicans" are just as worthless. Until recently they swore (cross their hearts and hope to die) that Tillis was The Best.

It also ordered the committee formed on the issue to not meet.

Get that? The cartel judge isn't just running the Executive, he's micromanaging the Executive.

Unelected, unaccountable cartel judge is now the head of an entire agency.

Israel was reborn two weeks after I was born in 1948 so at 78, this month, I'm one of the youngest of the Fig Tree generation. That clock is ticking.

I'm sure I've told this story before but, apparently, several years back, some UK company was working on an expert system for analyzing x-rays. The system could tell you, with 98% accuracy, the race of the person who's x-ray it was analyzing. Radiologists said that was impossible since everyone's skeletal structure is the same. So they shut the system down.

No attempt to figure out why it was almost always correct. Must be rayciss. The refusal to see the truth, to question assumptions, will kill us all in the end.

251 On a 12-month basis, PPI inflation was at 3.4%, the most since February 2025, according to the BLS. The Federal Reserve targets inflation at 2%.

The surge in PPI came due in large part to a 0.5% increase in services costs, something the Fed would not welcome. Policymakers have attributed much of the recent run-up in inflation to tariffs, which would not show up as much on the services end. Goods prices rose 1.1% on the month.

Food prices rose 2.4% while energy was up 2.3%. Within food, the index for fresh and dry vegetables soared 48.9%
===================
Since tariffs don't apply to most food imports and the services sector is domestic, ie not a tariff economic activity, we can conclude tariffs had little to do with this number.

Lulu Garcia-Navarro: “What is a project 2029 agenda look like for you?”

JB Pritzker: “I'll just say a couple of things that I think are absolutely necessary. One is we've got to restore the rule of law, and that means holding people accountable who've broken the law. I’m talking about in this administration when we get a new one.

The people in this administration who broken the law and federal agents who broken the law need to be held accountable.

LGN: “And that means criminally prosecuted?”

JB: “Criminally prosecuted, civilly prosecuted, whatever it is that we can do. Right? It may be that you can't criminally prosecute somebody, but that you can go after them civilly.”

I am a Democrat. I served in the Clinton administration. I did not vote for Donald Trump and am highly unlikely to support him or his acolytes in the future. I also have serious disagreements with many of the Trump administration’s domestic and foreign policies.

But it is profoundly disturbing that a growing segment of the far left appears to be almost rooting for Hamas, Hezbollah, the Iranian regime, and other forces fundamentally opposed to the United States and our allies. This seems to reflects a corrosive strain of anti-Americanism, dressed up in postcolonial theory, that risks blinding us to the moral realities of our world and the nature of our adversaries.

By AFP
Sweden’s foreign minister confirms that Iran has executed a Swedish citizen, after Iranian authorities announced the first execution of a man convicted of spying since the start of its war against Israel and the United States.

“It is with dismay that I have received information that a Swedish citizen was executed in Iran earlier today,” Foreign Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard says in a statement.

Since the man’s arrest during Iran’s 12-day war with Israel in June, Sweden has “repeatedly raised the case at various levels with Iranian representatives,” she adds.

No endorsement.
And Trump said he'll not endorse anyone who votes against the SAVE Act.

The deadline for Paxton to drop out is 5pm today. Otherwise, he remains on the ballot and the run-off must be held.

Discussed a few days ago, but we don't want the SAVE Act passed until mid to late July.*
Under SCOTUS precedent, court's can't issue injunctions against election laws if the election is pending. The TX redistricting case put that at 90 days or less.
Meaning, pass in July, courts issue their injunctions, SCOTUS will be forced to void the injunctions.

*in the alternative, pass it now and time the injunctions to late July/August. Which would be the timing of a permanent injunction after hearing if passed now.

350 Leaders at the World Anti-Doping Agency are considering adopting a rule that could bar President Donald Trump and all U.S. government officials from attending major international events — even if they take place on American soil.

The U.S. has held back a total of $7.3 million over 2024 and 2025 in protest of WADA’s handling of a number of issues over the years, most recently, a case involving Chinese swimmers who were allowed to compete despite testing positive for a banned substance. WADA took Chinese regulators’ word that the athletes had been accidentally contaminated.

372 Sadly, no Talerico/vegan comments I can find 😢

Trump brands Dem. candidate James Talarico ‘insult to Jesus’ for pro-trans stance. Trump refused to confirm who he would endorse in the primary, but claimed the “good news” is that Talarico, “is whacked out, with his six different forms of gender”.

Is Trump really the best arbiter for what insults Jesus? "Two out of two Corinthians agree!"

James Talarico is the top example of what Christians should be and MAGA Christians don't like that.

I think they just secured Talarico the punk vote. This has far more punk energy than Beto. I wish it didn't have to risk Ken Paxton winning for James to make it.

I’ve never liked politicians until Talarico. He’s a great example of a politician who cares. He uses his Christianity for good not bad like MAGA does. He’s an actual “love thy neighbor” Christian. Not a phony fundamentalist.

I am a Democrat. I served in the Clinton administration. I did not vote for Donald Trump and am highly unlikely to support him or his acolytes in the future. I also have serious disagreements with many of the Trump administration’s domestic and foreign policies.

But it is profoundly disturbing that a growing segment of the far left appears to be almost rooting for Hamas, Hezbollah, the Iranian regime, and other forces fundamentally opposed to the United States and our allies. This seems to reflects a corrosive strain of anti-Americanism, dressed up in postcolonial theory, that risks blinding us to the moral realities of our world and the nature of our adversaries.

Texas is lucky the dems always choose clown show people. Beto, Jasmine, Talarico.

Meanwhile, abbot is letting in Muslims to haw sharia communities and outvote republicans in a few generations. Trojan horse or betrayal from within.

424 >>> @Bobby_LaVallley
In 2022, James Talarico said it’s “existential” to reduce meat consumption to fight climate change.
"I am proud to say that our campaign has officially become a non-meat campaign... We are only buying vegan products from our local vegan businesses."

426 I don't remember that little rat-faced bimbo, Susan Rice, ever being elected to any position in government. Before she begins making threats, she better watch her six.

427 Chris Christie lost me when the Pennsylvania woman with a legal carry permit got stopped for a traffic violation on a road that looped from PA to NJ and back. Doing what she thought was right, she told the officer she was carrying. Since a PA carry permit isn’t valid in NJ, she was arrested and held on two felony counts, the second being possession of hollow point bullets.

It was a vicious prosecution, and Christie could have made it go away with a wave of his hand, but he left her there in jail. I thought that was an odd decision for a Republican governor running for president.

Then there was the French kiss moment with Obama when Christie was looking for federal assistance with hurricane sandy. I’m pretty sure Obama demanded the photo op to bolster his reelection by reminding Christie how he had just let Texas burn. Those Texas wildfires could be seen from space.

The shrieking about how Islam is taking over TX is good for providing red meat for people like Rep Ken King to screw over voters in other ways. The way some act, I’m going to be forcibly marched to my local county courthouse to recite the Shehada and the Lone Star will be replaced by the Lone Crescent.
