The Morning Report

The Morning Report — 5/ 15/26

Good morning kids. Considering what's going on in the world, and how it has a direct impact right here at home, this story seems to be fading away far too quickly.

Authorities reported a bomb at an Alabama dam that posed “an unprecedented threat” during routine repairs on Tuesday.
Mobile’s water and sewer agency alerted the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office after discovering a grenade-like improvised explosive device underwater at the federally designated Converse Reservoir dam, according to local media reports. The nearby Daphne Search and Rescue Team, Mobile Police Department (MPD), Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) and FBI bomb squad also responded to the scene.(RELATED: Trump DOJ Hits DC Pipe Bomb Suspect With Terror Charges)
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was also notified of the discovery.
The Converse Reservoir is a 3,600-acre lake that “is the source of all drinking water and most raw water” for the Mobile area, according to the Mobile Area Water and Sewer System (MAWSS).
Officials have not released information on anyone potentially responsible for placing the bomb or how it happened. The Gulf Coast Regional Maritime Response and Render-Safe Team retrieved and safely detonated the device, Advance Local reported. . .
. . . “This is an unprecedented threat, and we are fortunate that this device was discovered before it could cause serious damage to our water supply or harm to individuals,” MAWSS Director Bud McCrory said, NBC 15 reported. “We are grateful for the professionalism and competency of our law enforcement partners — as well as the quick thinking of our contractors and divers — in identifying this device and safely destroying it.”
Agencies are working to boost security around the dam, multiple outlets reported.

While this is indeed an "unprecedented threat," not to minimize the disaster that could have happened had the explosive detonated and the dam was actually breached, given our pre-Donald Trump non-existent border and immigration control, and the proclivities of our global adversaries/rivals and let's face it enemies, imagine a more sophisticated device planted at the base of Hoover Dam?

I suppose, that is I pray, that the security in and around the Dam and other highly sensitive sites would be extremely tight. And yet, experience should teach us that assuming this to be the case would be most unwise. And lest we forget, there are those among us who are not foreigners, by birth anyway, who seek our destruction for various and sundry ideological reasons.

The man accused of starting the Palisades fire, one of the costliest disasters in U.S. history, was motivated by a resentment for the rich and viewed Luigi Mangione, the suspect in the killing of UnitedHealthcare’s chief executive, as a Robin Hood-like figure, according to court documents detailing evidence gathered by federal prosecutors.
In a court brief filed last week, authorities say a forensic review of his computer showed Jonathan Rinderknecht searched “Free Luigi” and “reddit lets kill all billionaires” in December 2024.
Rinderknecht, 30, is accused of starting the Lachman fire in Pacific Palisades on Jan. 1, 2025, which smoldered underground for a week before exploding into the deadly Palisades fire.

I was thinking perhaps a whacko Red/Green enviro-communist, but anything that advances, in their twisted minds the cause of anti-Americanism and freedom is fair game. By any means necessary, right?

Also, Iran is on the verge of economic collapse with the regime not far behind it and Red China's economy and society are also not necessarily in tip-top shape either, despite the propaganda to the contrary... though certainly not nearly in as critical a condition as Iran. The latter have exported terrorism around the globe since Jimmy Carter midwifed them into the world 47 years ago, while China has followed the Soviet model of infiltrating our society to bring us down from within going back even farther. Mao's cultural revolution was not limited to the confines of China, as has been plainly evident for quite some time now.

“A police station operating in New York City at the direction of the Chinese government has been exposed, its sinister purpose disrupted, and its founder held accountable for blatantly disregarding the law and our country’s sovereignty.” – U.S. Attorney Joseph Nocella Jr. . . . Lu faces up to 10 years in prison for acting as an illegal foreign agent and an additional 20 years for obstruction of justice. His conviction underscores growing concerns about Chinese influence operations on U.S. soil. It also highlights the CCP’s global strategy to suppress dissent and exert its power far beyond its borders. On Tuesday, the National Pulse reported on Eileen Wang, the Democrat mayor of Arcadia, California, pleading guilty to acting as an illegal agent for the Chinese government.

Lest we forget Eric Swalwell, NYC pol Grace Meng, Dianne Feinstein's chauffeur the Confucius institute's on college campuses all over America and on and on. Not to mention the massive tracts of farmland as well as real estate abutting sensitive military installations and far too many Chinese nationals employed in our defense and tech sectors as well as research facilities, stealing our secrets.

And of course, unleashing germ warfare on us...

The recent indictment of former senior NIAID official David Morens has ripped the lid off the COVID-era corruption machine. Now, against the backdrop of the United States Senate investigation on COVID origins, North Carolina taxpayers and families also deserve to know whether their flagship public university played any role in the research that may have sparked the entire disaster.
Ralph Baric, a world-renowned virologist at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, by all accounts collaborated for years with Shi Zhengli at China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology on bat coronaviruses capable of infecting humans. NIH grants under Anthony Fauci helped fund that work -- including controversial gain-of-function experiments that many experts now believe helped create the conditions for the pandemic.
As a state-supported institution -- with Chapel Hill as North Carolina’s flagship campus -- UNC owes its citizens full transparency. There are reports of public information requests being either ignored or stonewalled. Who was paid what, and why? Where did the money flow in from, and where did it finally land? What was the actual result of the research conducted in Chapel Hill -- a scientific breakthrough in a bottle, or harm to millions?
Leaving the investigation in the hands of the United States Senate is not enough.

And suddenly, we have an outbreak of the Hantavirus on a US-bound cruise ship, just as we may be on the verge of toppling Iran, boxing in the Red Chinese and maybe even toppling the Cuban communists and liberating that island gulag after 66 years. Our enemies abroad and especially in our midst can't have that, now can they. Not with two crucial elections in November and then 2028 in the balance...

On April 1, 2026, The MV Hondius, a Dutch-registered cruise ship, departed from Ushuaia, a city in southern Argentina. Between April 6 and April 28, a number of passengers became sick, with the first reported death on April 11. On May 2, an outbreak of hantavirus was officially reported to the World Health Organization (WHO). Hantavirus is carried by rodents and there are currently no targeted treatments or widely available vaccines. Consequently, the 18 American passengers have been put into quarantine. Sixteen of the passengers are being monitored at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, while the other two passengers are at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia. One of the passengers has been placed in biocontainment due to testing positive for the Andes virus, a hantavirus subtype. The passengers reportedly range from their late 20s to their 80s. Early symptoms typically include fatigue, fever, and muscle aches, especially in the larger muscles of the hips, thighs, and back. Hantavirus symptoms typically occur between one and eight weeks after exposure...
“The risk of hantavirus to the general public remains very, very low,” said Admiral Brian Christine, Assistant Secretary for Health at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

But the risk to Democrats, Leftists and globalists is existential, should they lose the next two elections.

Have a great weekend.

Anyway, it's a great example of the predicament we're in. When a Leftist shoots Kirk or Trump or whomever next (we'll find out soon!), it's understandable - the target's incendiary rhetoric is to blame.

When a Righty makes a silly video about imaginary people throwing imaginary tomatoes at a Leftist, it's incitement to violence - a crime.

Groucho always had nice things to say about her, noting that she was a perfect foil because she really didn't have a sense of humor and didn't understand the Marx comedy style.

IIRC, she either had a bad marriage or made bad investments and ended up nearly bankrupt at her death.

Iran is reaching the point where it will have to plug its wells which will freeze its oil industry. Not capping will make it worse.

99 Climate change didn't cause the Palisades fire. It was Left-wing terrorism fueled by the exact kind of rhetoric prevalent on Reddit.

Who wants to bet that once Trump exits politics the political violence will drop immediately? Regardless of how popular Reddit is or isn’t.

When you call for violence, like Trump continues to do, don’t be surprised when it is met with violence from the other side. Trump is solely responsible for the political violence in this country. He has been fanning the flames for 10 years.

Trump suggested we rake the forest and then defunded the USDA and US Forest Service. Why would CA want to follow national recommendations?

No one ever said climate change causes forest fires. What scientists say is climate change is causing fires to spread farther, burn longer, and makes them harder to put out, making them much more dangerous.

You really think some rando that allegedly started a fire a week prior to the Palisades fire holds the blame more than 8-month no rain/drought period? Is that what you believe?

The Clinton Global Catastrophe needs you to believe in the unreal, the Fabricated, and OUTRAGEOUSLY UNTRUE -- that he knew nothing about Jeffie's playtime, let alone his (clinton's) self portrait in blue dress...

Remember who did this:
"to leave now we would send a message to terrorists and other potential adversaries around the world that they can change our policies by killing our people. It would be open season on Americans."
-- Bill Clinton '93

Watched a video last night were TMZ was attacking Pratt because he did a video talking about 'living in an Airstream' where his house used to be. Turns out, he doesn't. His home was burned. There's an Airstream there, but he hasn't slept there. He stays in a hotel. He stays with relatives. He's not stayed in the trailer. The trailer is where his home was. It took weeks to get the electricity connected to the trailer. It took weeks to get water connected to it.

But TMZ is calling him a liar because he implied he's living in the trailer when he isn't.

They want to use semantics to prevent LA from being corrected.

Since droughts and no-rain periods have occurred regularly in Southern California since the end of the last ice age, yes that person deserves blame. The city that refused to take reasonable precautions for a natural condition that occurs regularly is far more to blame.

A routine fleet review in March 2026 surfaced a number Navy planners are still struggling to absorb.

So you admit that the negotiations had, and have, zero chance of success. That they’re just a show, a kabuki theater performance. I agree, and have maintained that since they began.

But I think that displaying weakness and lack of resolve does nothing for the rest of the world, or for America’s standing in it. Iran has used the time to execute hundreds of its internal opponents, and dig in even deeper. The war could have been over by now, but for the last month of inactivity.

But we’re in luck, Iran is going to force Trump to start fighting again whether he wants to or not.

That was what Pratt was trying to say. The trailer is where his home was. They burned it down. His address is where the trailer is. His mail goes to that address. He's registered to vote at that address is. Just like all the other burned down homes in the Palisades. That's his home.

But he's a liar that shouldn't be taken seriously because he doesn't actually sleep in the trailer parked there.

Is it optics? Sure. Does his point still stand? Absolutely.

Now, I think we'd be pounding the same point against Bass should her home have burned down and she put a $80,000 Airstream in it's place and said that was her home, but we wouldn't have the power of the media behind us like she does against him.

210 @CIASpox
The Committee acted in bad faith by subpoenaing an Agency officer for testimony today without notifying CIA, despite having already obtained closed-door testimony from the individual previously. The witness testifying today is not appearing as a whistleblower in pursuit of the truth, but instead in response to the subpoena issued by Chairman Paul.

This proceeding amounts to nothing more than dishonest political theater masquerading as a congressional hearing. As the CIA has already assessed, COVID-19 most likely originated from a lab leak, and efforts to undermine that conclusion are disingenuous.

224 We basically did NINJA loans again but this time with non-US citizens

Many homebuilders, such as Bloomfield Homes in Celina, TX offered access to FHA loans for H-1B visa holders through their preferred lenders until May of 2025, when Trump had HUD shut these lending practices down

Some of these FHA loans offered 100% financing through a combination of a standard FHA loan and access to State assisted first time homebuyer grants for the 3% downpayment

Yes, you read that correctly, your tax dollars funded home-buying grants for non-US Citizens during the Biden administration

Is it just a coincidence that home prices began falling at a rapid pace in Celina, TX almost immediately after Trump shut this program down?

How many people bought a brand new home with zero money down at peak 2022-2024 pricing?

You won’t see an impact at a national level, but you WILL see it in certain markets with a lot of H-1B tech workers and new construction

241 German SPD Leader Faces Backlash After Claiming Migrants Burdening Welfare System Is A 'Right Wing Extremist' Lie

“Immigration into the welfare state threatens social cohesion! The fact is: More and more immigrants are pushing into our social welfare system – and are bringing the system to its limits and to the brink of collapse,” CSU Member of Parliament Stephan Mayer told Bild on Tuesday, as quoted by Junge Freiheit.

Bas, in return, has called this notion a lie from “right-wing extremists.”

“Every statistic refutes her. The immigration into Germany’s social systems is verifiably documented and one of the main reasons why the Federal Republic is heading toward state bankruptcy,” Springer posted on X last week.

During a bizarre Hot Topics segment, the women of The View discussed whether or not it’s alright to save seats for others in public places. Goldberg, 70, quickly took over the conversation and specifically called out Christians who save seats for other people in church.
“To me, here’s the biggest reason you don’t want to do that, is because you want people to be on time,” Goldberg said of saving seats in church. “You don’t want them to start thinking, oh, somebody’s going to hold this for me, and you don’t have to work on getting your behind out of there to get there on time. Don’t do that!”
“If you’re at a place and you see all these empty seats, I’m telling you now, if you come down, I’m gonna be in your chair, because I paid just like you paid,” she continued.

Virulent hate, conspiratorial nonsense, and low IQ stupidity mushroomed under the guise of free speech. THere is no free speech online, there are people spending millions, buying influence , when others have no resources and just the truth. SO the truth gets drown out by the money. Is fucked up. Musk is too detached to be bothered by such nonsense. There is no "absolute truth" where you pay or reward online presence.

I can’t, which is why I find it puzzling that you are supporting them now. The blockade is all well and good, but Iran is getting too much from the rail lines from Pakistan and air support from Russia and China for that to break the regime anytime soon.

284 Outrage of the Day:

Animal extremist group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) ripped into 49ers tight end George Kittle after he told fans on social media how he killed a spider.

“Spiders are tiny compared to the average human, let alone an NFL player, and have a lot more to fear from us than we do from them, so there’s no need for unnecessary roughness,” PETA senior vice president Lisa Lange said, reprimanding the NFL player.

“PETA is urging George Kittle to drop the unsportsmanlike conduct and adopt a live and let live approach when it comes to uninvited arachnid guests,” the organization added.

Kittle had described the invading arachnid as about the “PETA is urging George Kittle to drop the unsportsmanlike conduct and adopt a live and let live approach when it comes to uninvited arachnid guests,” and mentioned that he killed the creature with a rehab slant board.

For her part, wife Clair called Kittle her “knight in shining armor” and praised him for his response to the “disgusting” bug.

About three months later, the moth problem in our house was solved permanently. Spiders are on my no kill list because of that.

Under federal law, flintlock muskets fall into the definition of “antique firearms” under the language of 18 USC 921(16), which exempts them from many of the regulations and laws at the federal level, as well as in most states. In a caption for the video posted on X Thursday morning, the AP noted that while a musket could fire a projectile at 1,000 feet per second, it was exempt from gun regulations under federal law.

352 The Trump administration has blocked $60 million in fraudulent student loan applications since launching a new risk assessment tool last month, the Daily Caller has learned exclusively. The Department of Education launched a new risk assessment tool on April 26 to screen federal student aid applicants for fraud. Since the tool launched two weeks ago, the administration has found about 300,000 fraudulent applications that amounted to $60 million in student loans, officials told the Daily Caller.

Wife flew out a day later, even though I told her not to.
