The Morning Report — 5/ 8/26

Good morning kids. Lots of things happening as you can see by the links, but two in particular are jumping out at me and getting me rather ticked.

First, the fact that this frog-mouthed silt-eating slug is even in this country in the first place let alone holds public office is offensive in the extreme. Given every advantage that only America would and could, as opposed to the repressive third world shithole of Indonesia that she was spawned in, she has blood-libeled and done all she could to stab us in the back and drag us down to the savage Dark Age level of her forbears.

First of all, this congresswoman claims she's concerned about the humanitarian crisis in Cuba. That's admirable. I am too and have been for a long time. But it's funny, this humanitarian crisis has been going on for years, and yet, unless I'm missing something, she's only found it in her heart to be concerned about it since Trump and Rubio began taking legitimate steps to put an end to it once and for all.
If you'll recall, Jayapal and Rep. Jonathan Jackson (D-Ill.) traveled to Cuba last month on the taxpayers' dime to "assess the humanitarian situation." The reality is that they took a five-day vacation (or what they called a "congressional delegation") to Cuba to meet with the regime and find new ways to bash Donald Trump. They went in with an agenda and opinions already formed and walked away with those opinions intact and using the same language the regime does about how Trump is hurting them with his sanctions and blockades...
...why in the heck is a sitting member of the U.S. Congress going behind the president's back and colluding with foreign countries in a way that directly goes against the president's current actions and foreign policy? Trump and Rubio are working to pressure the regime so that the Cuban people are finally free. They've also made it incredibly clear that the island nation as it stands with the regime in charge is a threat to the national security of the United States.

But wait, there's more from another anti-American traitor . . and she's not even American literally!, and yet she holds public office?!

“I am illegal in this country. My parents are illegal here in this country,” Former Minnesota State Rep. Kaohly Her declared.
Her ran in the 2025 St. Paul mayoral election on a promise to fight ICE and protect illegal aliens. While she lost the election, the usual ‘ranked choice’ shenanigans that elevated Mamdani in New York City, and other urban leftists, put her ahead of Melvin Carter III who was not an illegal.
In her inaugural address, Mayor Kaohly Her described federal immigration enforcement as an “unprecedented incursion that we must meet head on.” She spoke while surrounded by minority female politicians as well as Robert ‘Susan Kimblery’ Sylvester: a former deputy mayor who now claims to be a transgender woman.
This secessionist rhetoric was soon paired with a secessionist ordinance commanding federal law enforcement not to operate on ‘city-owned property’ as if St. Paul had somehow seceded from the United States.

Why are either of these evil filthy skanks not awaiting removal from our nation?! Jayapal deserves to at a minimum be removed from office and prosecuted for her actions along with anyone who aided and abetted her. But grabbing this admitted criminal illegal alien Kaohly and shipping her the hell out of the country is, or should be a snap, for ICE and/or the DOJ?!

And let the rent-a-goon thugs try and stop it.

Yeah, my blood is now at a slow simmer.

Have a great weekend!

25 The first Britain-wide local election results trickled in overnight — and will continue to do so through the day and into the weekend as over 5,000 local races have their votes counted — revealing in its early stages a massive swing to Reform UK. Party leader Nigel Farage hailed the party’s gains so far, and vowed “the best is yet to come” as the vast majority of elections have yet to be counted, and with those on their way being some of the most promising for his party, he said
======================
The UK is doing its usual thrashing about, that's all. Is Reform actually going to do very much? Does not appear so, even though voter anger is riding high, and now many expect Two Tier Queer to lose his job over the weekend.

27 The Fred Fleitz article is not “wrong” per se, but it is very naive. He recommends that the US simply give Iran an ultimatum. Ok so far so good - but the Iranian leadership is going to laugh and tell you to GFY - so what do you do then? You either go back to war or surrender, those are your only real choices.

Because Iran is incapable of responding any other way.

35 “The Shia Mullahs are ready to bring nuclear hell to the world to affirm their leadership of Islam. (Meh the Sunnis are no better, so pass the popcorn - jjs”

I do not care for the Sunni, or for any brand of Muslim - but I think they are, in fact, far “better” for us than the Shiite faction, who dream of the destruction of the world as part of their faith. Demonstrably so - Pakistan has had nukes for a couple of decades now, and since it’s widely known that the Saudis financed their development and construction, they could have had one or two anytime for the asking. They don’t want them, they understand it would just make them an even bigger target.

The instant the Shiites get their hands on a working nuke, we will know. Because they will use it.

37 Mycotoxins Found in ‘Almost All’ Plant-Based Meat and Drinks.

From the article: "Mycotoxins are naturally occurring, toxic chemical compounds produced by fungi that grow on crops and food, especially grains, cereals, nuts, legumes, seeds, and spices, during storage and cultivation."

While I am not a fan of "plant based" fake food, it seems to me that this report is fear mongering if compounds which exist on plants are found in foods created from plants.

68 The National Education Association (NEA) was hit with a federal complaint Monday alleging that it subjected Jewish members to an antisemitic environment, according to a copy of the complaint shared with the Washington Free Beacon.
The complaint, filed by the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) , alleges that the nation’s largest teachers’ union allowed activists within the organization to harass Jewish members. At the NEA’s 2025 Representative Assembly—the group’s annual gathering—for instance, the union debated a resolution banning materials from the Anti-Defamation League from appearing in classrooms. During that debate, "delegates aligned with anti-Israel advocacy physically positioned themselves near Jewish Affairs Caucus members, shouted down Jewish participants, and created an atmosphere in which Jewish delegates reasonably feared retaliation and physical harm," the complaint details.

Pratt is doing something really amazing out there in La La Land, and is just blowing up the election with his personality and his brilliant ads. Of course, Bass makes for a practically supine target, but she is really similar in this to Kathy Hochul, but just look at what a great campaign can do, as Pratt is doing, versus what is happening in New York, which is nada.

How Nazi of them. Broadening their ability to arrest peaceful protestors.

They're already doing their violence. This is just targeting potential resistance. Killed unions, led a multi-decade culture war against socialism, fought wars and assassinated communists, brutalized BLM, now it's just trying to smother any other movements in the crib.

The largest and most violent domestic terror group in the US is MAGA. Only one group of domestic terrorists planned a seditious conspiracy and attempted to overthrow the government.

If you're not anti-fascist, doesn't that make you pro-fascist? They’re speedrunning their whole project 2025 playbook.

They know Antifa isn’t an organization. Its an ideology. Now they can label anyone they don't like as a terrorist and throw them in jail/torture them.

205 Revealingly, when prominent Democrats are reminded that their repeated comparisons of Trump to Hitler and the violence-tinged words they use in their campaigns against him have had the net effect of inspiring attempts to kill him, they don’t back off. They simply double down.

Case in point, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY):

Moments Ago: A visibly agitated Hakeem Jeffries says “I stand by” calling for “maximum warfare” against Republicans.

“You can continue to criticize me for it, I don’t give a damn about your criticism!”

FOX Newz had a segment showing 3 videos. In 2 of them, I'd say a small drone was captured flying to or from someplace. IIRC, drones were marginally important back about 5 years ago... hardly any videos of them flying about, but lots of videos taken "by them."

A lot of what we'll likely see are probably new drone designs being tested. They don't have to adapt to a human pilot, so the ability to change directions in unconventional ways might account for their movements.

So.... no, they're not "real" UFO's. YMMV

And she'll just walk right by you. She won't even notice you. And suddenly she'll grab you, and she'll throw you in a corner, and she'll say, "Do you know that 'if' is the middle word in life? If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you, if you can trust yourself when all men doubt you"... I mean I'm... no, I can't...

239 From Farage's experience on the trail : "…one thing that I consistently hear from people, especially from women actually, is ‘please save us’, a sense that society is in rapid decline, law and order, anti-social behaviour, shoplifting, whatever it is, ‘please save us’.

There is a feeling out there that all the values that have mattered to people their whole lives, the kind of country they want their kids and grandkids to live in is very, very severely under threat… we want to turn the country around. We all feel it is heading in the wrong direction on a number of major issues.

Frankly, many people find the society they’re living in unreconsigisable from just a few short years ago. This is stuff of the heart, this is emotive stuff that matters to people."

In Minnesota law requires elected officials to be eligible voters. According to Article VII, Section 6 of the Minnesota Constitution, every person entitled to vote and who is at least 21 years old is eligible for any office elective by the people, provided they have resided in the district for 30 days prior to the election.

This means that voting eligibility is a prerequisite for holding office in Minnesota. The knowledge of her fraudulent immigration status should be enough to get her booted out of the Mayor's job.

Outside of the bluest of blue enclaves like NYC and DC, jury trials tend to go our way. Think of Rittenhouse at the height of BLM.

The bigger problem is grand juries, but this is empaneled in North Florida, not DC. If this grand jury looks at the evidence being gathered and says, "Nah," then the pessimism about the entire American justice system is valid.

However, the pattern has rather regularly been the majority of cases brought outside of the deepest of blue enclaves (and even in the blue enclaves, there was something in NYC that went our way last year though I can't think of it off the top of my head) to jury trials tend to go based more on the evidence than adhering to Current Day Democrat Party needs.

297 The mayor of a small Georgia town has axed its entire police force for upsetting his wife, who’d previously been accused of creating a “hostile work environment.” Cohutta Mayor Ron Shinnick shut down the Cohutta Police Department and fired all 10 of its employees earlier this week after officers allegedly made “inappropriate comments” about his spouse on Facebook.

The petty saga erupted late last month when several officers lodged formal complaints about the town’s former clerk, Pam Shinnick — who is also the mayor’s wife — continuing to work for the town despite having been fired.

She was terminated last year for apparently creating a “hostile work environment” in the town of less than 1,000 people — but allegedly still had access to personal and classified information.

340 House Democrats, led by the Congressional Progressive Caucus, had been planning to force a war powers vote every day. It is now unclear whether that will — or even can — happen. Lawmakers involved in the war powers effort have been quietly reassessing how to approach the matter when Congress returns next week, according to multiple aides and lawmakers familiar with the matter.

353 If the goat-raping Iranians are dumping crude into the Persian Gulf, bomb the pipelines going to the island about 2-3 miles inland, then, as the oil starts to pool, hit is with incendiaries and make a big torch. This will or should force the shut-in of the wells.
The good part is that the repairs can be made after the IRGC is forced out and the decent Persians can rebuild their country.

"First of all, this congresswoman claims she's concerned about the humanitarian crisis in Cuba."

But, of course, and it's probably all about the $$$ because:

>February 11, 2026 Press Release

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congresswoman María Elvira Salazar, joined by Representatives Mario Díaz-Balart and Carlos Giménez, sent a joint letter to the U.S. Departments of the Treasury and Commerce urging immediate action to revoke licenses granted to U.S. companies operating with the Cuban dictatorship.

In the letter, the three Members of Congress raise serious concerns that licenses issued by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) continue to authorize transactions that provide financial or material benefit to regime-controlled enterprises in Cuba, directly undermining U.S. sanctions law and Congressional intent under the Cuban Liberty and Democratic Solidarity (LIBERTAD) Act of 1996.

“U.S. law is clear: sanctions exist to deny economic support to the Cuban dictatorship until real democratic change occurs,” said Congresswoman María Elvira Salazar.
👏

356 AI Overview: Kaohly Vang Her, a former Minnesota State Representative and current Mayor of Saint Paul is a naturalized U.S. citizen who came to the U.S. as a Hmong refugee from Laos in the 1970s.

Despite a June 2025 statement during a debate where she claimed her family entered "illegally," she clarified she is a legal citizen.

Following her initial statement, Kaohly Her told Newsweek she has been a citizen for nearly four decades. Her family fled Laos after the Vietnam War, with her father working for the CIA. She initially stated her father fabricated documents to get the family to the U.S. faster, leading to her comment about being "illegal," which was intended to show empathy to undocumented individuals.

Reportedly, as per Wikipedia (yes, I know), her father worked for the U.S. consulate,[8] her uncle was employed by USAID.

(Holy F**k!)

Btw, during the Vietnam War, there were over 58,000 U.S. military fatalities and approximately 303,000 wounded, with over 150,000 requiring hospitalization. Total fatalities include roughly 47,434 hostile deaths and over 10,000 non-hostile deaths. More than 75,000 veterans were severely disabled, and 5,283 lost limbs. (AI Overview)

Yes, now I remember. During the 1970s, thousands of refugees arrived in the Philly region from Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos.

Further, following pressure from Western activists and the Jackson-Vanik amendment, over 150,000 Jews emigrated to Israel & the US between 1971 and 1980, with several thousand settling in the immediate region.

Iranians immigrated primarily under the Immigration & Nationality Act of 1965 (Hart-Celler Act), which abolished national-origin quotas & favored skilled labor and family reunification. Many were students or professionals who entered legally, with roughly 50,000 Iranian students in the U.S. by late 1979.

Wanting to be here, not wanting to be us. 🤷‍♀

If they have nothing to hide, why fear an investigation? After all, they're supposed to be public servants in Fulton County, so showing they conducted themselves correctly and didn't scan in tons of fake ballots didn't happen, right?

To the extent that they don't think that Armageddon (or the Islamic equivalent) is required for the success of Islam, they are.
MAD would work (and has been working vis-a-vis Pakistan) with a nuclear armed Sunni state - no, I'm not in favor of SA having The Bomb - but is useless when your opponent views it as a means to a moral and spiritual vuctory.
