The Morning Report

The Morning Report — 3/20/26

Good morning kids. As the brilliant Milton Friedman once observed:

You cannot simultaneously have free immigration and a welfare state.

To underscore this, I give you this completely unsurprising report . . .

Nearly half of households headed by immigrants, those legally and illegally living in the United States, are on one or more forms of welfare, a Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) analysis of Census Bureau data reveals. . . Meanwhile, just 28 percent of households headed by native-born Americans are on welfare, and just 31 percent are on welfare that includes both tax credits.
Countries with the highest welfare-users in the U.S. include Afghanistan, 87 percent, the Dominican Republic, 78 percent, Guatemala, 77 percent, Honduras, 75 percent, and Mexico, 67 percent.

Interesting that Somalia isn't on that list, but then again, that's not even welfare as such, as opposed to outright naked, dictionary definition criminal fraud on the most massive scale ever seen. Of course the nature of government handouts themselves, regardless of who the recipient is is another story entirely and the nature of charity and who foots the bill.

There was a time when being indigent absolutely disqualified you from being granted citizenship. Of course there are several things going on here that collectively have one goal in mind and that is the collapse of American society and its transmogrification into a socialist state based on the inversion/perversion of history and annihilation of our American heritage and indeed Judeo-Christian Western civilization going back millennia.

I give you the Cloward-Piven strategy. . .

. . . an example of what are commonly called Trojan Horse initiatives — mass movements whose outward purpose seems to be providing material help to the downtrodden, but whose real objective is to draft poor people into service as revolutionary foot soldiers; to mobilize poor people en masse in an effort to overwhelm government agencies with a flood of demands beyond the capacity of those agencies to meet. Cloward and Piven calculated that the flood of demands which they were recommending would break the budget, jam the bureaucratic gears into gridlock, and bring the system crashing down. Fear, turmoil, violence and economic collapse would accompany such a breakdown — providing perfect conditions for fostering radical change. That was the theory.

Now you know, as if it was any great mystery, why the Democrats and corporatist RINOs oppose the SAVE Act or any election integrity measures for that matter, as we discussed on the latest episode of the podcast, linked here and in the sidebar as well as on the popular outlets listed at the bottom of the post.

Given all of the above, one of the Left's big heroes from the glory days of the swinging 60's has been exposed as a child rapist.

Cesar Chavez’s birthday is a holiday in six states, there are over a dozen streets that carry his name in California alone, and far more schools across the country are named after a child rapist. And now some of those streets may be renamed and Chavez statues may be coming down.

Well, considering Chavez was vocally and virulently anti-illegal immigration, himself often referring to them as "Wetbacks," I'm surprised that the left has yet to airbrush him out of history as a white hispanic a la George Zimmerman. Then again Martin Luther King Jr., who believed in content of character above color of skin has yet to have his statues demolished and MLK Blvds. re-renamed.

On that sour note, we have this tragic milestone marking how low we have sank:

. . . a white American 6-year-old was punished for blasphemy against Black Lives Matter (by saying “any life” matters).
A six-year-old white girl was punished because she wrote “Black lives mater/any life [sic]” after a lesson about Martin Luther King in March, 2021—because blacks are treated as sacred by American culture, especially in public schools.

Here's hoping for saner years to come.

Have a great Weekend!

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.

A video recorded by Philadelphia street photographer Hugh Dillon late Saturday night shows that the city’s reputation as a haven for robophobia hasn’t improved much over the years.

Regarding Cesar Chavez... I'm always leery of old accusations; maybe he was a child rapist, but maybe he wasn't. Can the truth ever really be known confidently when events supposedly took place 50 or 60 years ago?

Killed millions? Even pro-Ukraine western media doesn't go that far.

136 Like I posted yesterday it's the most communist thing possible to denounce Chavez after he's been dead for over thirty years. I ask why now and who benefits? Must be a factional fight against Chavistas in either the Dem party or in the labor movement. His opposition to illegal immigrants has been known for years so using that as a reason doesn't make sense

152 Chavez has been on the Left's shit list for longer than you might think.

In Denver, i used to work at a shop across the alley from some Latino "cultural center" type place where they had one of those hideous murals of him filling an entire wall of it.

Denver is the ancestral home of militant Hispanic fascism, and remains a hotbed for it. They removed that mural under pressure from the MEChA goons, because Chavez hated "the wetbacks" they represent.

This would have been maybe '14-'15. The City also started naming libraries and stuff after Mexican terror bomber Corky Gonzales, who is worshipped by MEChA, and which his Crusade For Justice (and Bombings) helped found.

I'm sure the City has been itching to erase Chavez from public landmarks since at least that time. I bet they're already already pulling down his statues and tearing off the signage at Chavez Park.

The Parks and other services budgets were gutted by the current mayor explicitly to pay for services for the illegals and vagrants (BIRM), but I'm sure they find some change in the cushions to get that done, lol.

There's only so much you can deduce from long range observations. Like looking at a blade of grass from orbit to see what's on it. Same goes for listening for some sort of signal, radio or otherwise.

But sooner or later we'll find life elsewhere, it'll find us, or we'll deduce we're it. *shrugs* I'd like to know, but it's not likely to happen in my remaining lifetime.

The scientists who tout billions of years and those who push that life, even "simple" single cell life, could happen just from some chemicals coming together largely have one of two things in common.
They will only accept a naturalistic explanation for the existence of the universe and life on this planet, or...
They, for whatever reason, want to say God did it but not the way He told us he did it in His Word through the prophet Moses.

285 I've got a theory about TX Dems, and why at some point they all go kamikaze in statewide races.

For instance, Wendy Davis ran on "Slaughter All Babies." Beto ran on "you're damn right I'm coming for your guns." Now, Talarico is running on "Jesus was a gay rapeseed and Mary should have aborted him. Also - Down With BBQ!!!!"

I think what happens is the Dems groom some candidate and all say "yep this the one, we've got this." Then the internal polling says "nope, this is not the one, you don't got this."

And at that point, the Party goes to the candidate and says "sorry but you're screwed, and we need to keep that sweet, sweet Blue Texas donors cash rolling in - here is the blatant unforced error you're going to make, so we have something to blame besides us."

I think it's just evidence that the Democrat Party cannot moderate anymore.

They literally can't do it.

Their donors and their voters won't let them.

So, they have to go increasingly radical because the only people who vote for them or donate to them are those who demand radicalism.

Seriously, it's a hard red state now. No Hispanic is rising up in the ranks demanding closed borders but lots of welfare for only Americans.

The only targets that actually get hit with MeToo now are dead leftists who said heterodox things about current day issues.

The impulse for purity on the issue of sex hasn't gone away.

They just can't actually hit many people with the weapons they use for it anymore because people have moved on. The targets fight back and often win enough to stay where they are.

So, only the dead get really hit anymore because they can't fight back.

307 The Postal Service last year clarified that its policy is to apply postmarks at central processing facilities and not necessarily at the local offices where mail is dropped off. With more mail now being routed through large distribution hubs, what does this change mean for election officials and voters?

Elections are largely run at the local level under state election laws. For more than 20 years, election officials have increasingly relied on mailing ballots to eligible voters. This requires a partnership with the Postal Service to get ballots to voters and back to local election offices in a timely manner.

Question:
If you drop off your ballot on Saturday and central mail is collected on Monday and then it is trucked to the Central office what will be the PostMark date.

Please give you answers in Reverse Polish Notion or Star Trek Dates.

318 From an article I can't find again:

The market price of oil and the huge increase in insurance for tanker hulls is partly due to yet another just-in-time delivery supply chain strategy, by not only oil companies but governments. That strategy means there few excess tankers world-wide to move oil and distillates to users and refineries. Every tanker stalled inside the Strait of Hormuz has a consequential supply chain impact.

For example, Australia may be out of diesel in a couple weeks. The nation has very little in-country diesel refining capability. If SE Asia refiners run short on heavy crude from the Gulf States, after supplying their own in-country needs there may be little diesel Australia can buy even if the tankers are available.

As with most nations nowadays, Australia needs diesel to function. For trains, transport and local delivery trucks, farm and ranch equipment, mining activity, an so on. Pressure on Trump to get safely get full and empty tankers past the Strait of Hormuz will only increase.

Regardless, I fully support Trump's effort to get rid of the Islamic Republic of Iran problem, once and for all.

Cute - but having watched it for decades now, I believe it’s because the left lives inside completely sealed ideological bubbles, but they’re used to having handlers and managers in the media who work constantly to hide what they all say and take for granted.

Amongst themselves, they all think it’s “bold and daring” to say that abortion is a sacrament, and that bbq is the province of knuckle dragging barbarians; and they all love anyone who whispers that to them privately. But it’s a rare talent to be able to constantly lie in public about what they actually believe, and luckily Texas hasn’t seen an Obama or a Spanberger make it to the top of the Dem party yet.

That message was from like 4 years ago. His dreams of running for senate weren't even a gleam in his eye yet.

And his campaign put out a picture of him eating a steak or something, because now that the primary is over, he has to appeal to actual Texans, not AWFLs in Austin.

Why didn't Crockett use any of this material against him?

Because it would have just worked to help him in the primary.

The Democrat primary voter is dedicated to social engineering towards vegan secular open borders multiculturalism no matter the cost. And Democrats have to appeal to that to win the primary.

That's a short term problem, to be honest.

Companies want their tankers out of the gulf. Some are definitely getting through. Other tankers can be redirected after completed business to pick up oil that's bypassing the strait. The tankers that get out probably won't go back into the strait once they unload in India or China or Australia. They'll go somewhere less fraught.
