The Morning Report — 6/ 22 /26

HORMUZ-JACKET.jpg

Good morning kids. Well the big story breaking later early depending which side of the pond you're on is that Keir Starmer has decided to call it quits as England's Prime Minister.

Sir Keir Starmer choked up as he announced his resignation as UK Prime Minister Monday – less than 2 years after the Labour Party stormed to a landslide general election win.
Starmer, 63, set out a timetable to stand down after coming under mounting pressure following last month’s local elections, where the governing Labour Party lost over 1,000 seats.

The Prime Minister announced his intention to step down after admitting the Labour Party was questioning whether he could lead it into the next general election, which must be held before July 2029, just 23 months after leading his party to a landslide win. 

“I have heard the answer of my parliamentary party to that question, and I accept that answer with good grace,” Starmer said outside 10 Downing Street in London.

Every decision I’ve taken has been about putting the country I love first. That is why I will resign as leader of the Labour Party. I have spoken to His Majesty the King this morning to inform him of my decision.”


While I'm no expert, to say the least, on British politics but no doubt that one of the things that has led to Starmer's departure is the growing scandal of the Muslim rape crisis that has come to light especially over the last year or so. But shockingly Muslim men have been raping non-Muslim women and girls for decades!

This is something that’s also totally missed by the report’s focus on Islam as the main driving force behind the grooming: Pakistani Muslim men raping white British girls because they aren’t Muslim. In many cases, the Muslim identity of the men appears to be incidental to the grooming, and the kinship networks like the Kashmiri birādarī system that structure it predate conversion to Islam by centuries. Yes, some groomers do refer to the girls as kuffār—non-believers—and the justification is that of the wretched Quran verse “What the right hand possesses,” which says Muslim men can take sex slaves from among kuffār women, but it seems to be kinship, rather than religion, that gives these crimes their systematic and persistent character. Ultimately, though, this remains to be explored properly.

Rape is not a one-off crime committed here and there but it is a documented tool of warfare used by Muslims to conquer and subjugate nations and people once Islam becomes a dominant force politically and/or demographically aided and abetted by a cowed and submissive indigenous populace that refuses to defend itself from invasion and conquest, and as is the case of Britain and much of western Europe brought it willingly upon themselves for myriad cultural and historic reasons.

While Starmer is gone, is there really a chance that the English people will recognize the mortal danger they placed themselves in by allowing the socialists to rule essentially unchecked since the end of the Second World War, Churchill's sunset years and Maggie Thatcher notwithstanding.

The uprising in Belfast over the attempted public beheading of a man in broad daylight certainly gives one hope that people are indeed waking up at long last. Still, I'm hesitant to predict a sea change over there, knowing full well that despite being mugged by reality, Leftists/Democrats will lather rinse and repeat and continue to vote for their own destruction. Of course the societal and political pressure imposed by the globalist/political media cultural complex to bend the knee and surrender cannot be underestimated either. And in the UK there is now an official censorship regime where one can be hauled off and prosecuted for uttering anything critical against Islam, let alone even silently praying in front of an abortion mill.

And elsewhere the beat goes on with the Iran negotiations. Some are hailing Trump and Vance as brilliant masters of 11-dimension chess. . .


Regardless of the naysayers, neoconservatives, and progressive leftist shills using social and mainstream media to portray America as weak for the thousandth time, President Trump's Iran deal and the communication of the deal by Vice President JD Vance has been a masterclass in geopolitics and media dexterity. President Trump's preliminary MOU with Iran took pressure, pragmatism, forceful language, and a militaristic strategy to secure, but it was all worth it. The priority of using peace through strength, the ever-powerful Trumpist foreign policy mantra, proved yet again that President Trump is the best negotiator in modern American or world politics.

Using bombs to force conversation is certainly an option, but it ended up being the best solution for all sides of the war in Iran. While Obama's Iran deal funded radical Islamic terrorism and the spreading of Sharia Law throughout the globe, Trump's deal utilized tariffs, bombs, and blockades to bring Iran up the ramp and into 12 rounds with the 45th and 47th President of the United States.

. . . Sounds great, but others are claiming they've both been taken to the cleaners.

Trump Coulda Been a Contender -- The destruction of a legacy. . .

It’s one of the most justly celebrated moments in cinematic history. In Elia Kazan’s classic movie On the Waterfront (1954), the failed boxer Terry Malloy (Marlon Brando), who was forced to take a dive during the bout that could have established him as a possible challenger for the championship belt, says to his brother, who was in on the fix: “I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am.”

I was going to make the subtitle to this article “Instead of a bum which is what he is,” but it was just too painful. Trump isn’t a bum, and maybe, just maybe, he will eventually right the ship and get on with the business of making America great again. But showering billions on a regime whose leaders routinely scream “Death to America,” and pretending that the evil men who now control that regime are rational people with whom America can do business — that’s the behavior of one of the America-Lasters who has governed this unhappy land in recent decades, not that of the visionary who promised to take on and defeat those who were selling out our interests.

A number of good essays in the links that illustrate both sides of the argument. So, as the President himself is fond of saying, we'll just have to wait and see.

Have a good day,

13 This weekend was the greatest foreign policy disaster in all of American history, JD Vance
spent the entire weekend acting like a sad little monkey on a chain, dancing furiously while a laughing Iranian organ grinder played a crazy tune.

Money is already, today, flowing in to Iran from China, Russia, Pakistan, Qatar, and Turkey. The plan to put Iran under economic pressure has collapsed completely.

This is no plan. This is complete and total failure.

14 Trump’s approach to Iran has been good overall, but marred IMHO by some recent missteps; namely, the MOU is imperfect to say the least and he’s made so many threats that didn’t materialize they’re beginning to ring hollow.

We severely degraded their military and killed leaders - GOOD

Long fruitless negotiations with hollow threats - Not so good

Yeah, we’ll have to wait and see…

15 They don't fight to win advantage, political leverage, even regional hegemony.

They fight to kill.

So by all means, let's continue to ignore their straight-up eliminationist policy.

28 Willowed from Pixy:

The UK is gone, it doesn’t matter who is PM. Even Nigel Farage couldn’t fix it; certainly none of their political class can… they’re all clones. This Burnham guy is another Starmer, perhaps less wooden. No Thatcher out there to save the day… kinda sad but their voters have been digging this hole for decades. The numb skulls threw out Churchill after WWII and it’s been generally downhill since with only the respite from Thatcher applying some brakes on the downhill

But Eastern Europe fell to Communism for generations. The entire Middle East was once Christian. The city of Constantine was overrun by Muslims and became Istanbul, the Hagia Sophia a mosque.

It can happen, it is happening, and if Europeans do not convulse violently enough to shake off this predator, the same thing will happen.

40 Iranian PM Ghalibaf on Trump’s threats to restart the war:
“Don't they think to themselves that, if their threats had worked, they wouldn't have reached the desperation they face today? We don't take the Americans' threats into account.
They'd better watch their statements; our armed forces are ready to respond in another way. No matter how much they talk, it's we who take action.”

Iran is openly declaring that they are going to do any damn thing they want to, and that Trump won’t have the nerve to do anything about it. Money is already flowing in; arms are flowing in; supplies are flowing in. And oil is flowing out, all restrictions dropped already.

44 First, eliminate the fraud in the system, which is estimated at between $200 billion and $500 billion per year.

59 Finally, we need to address the elephant in the room: funding Social Security and Medicare. Benefit cuts are off the table so the only solution is tax increases. I propose increasing the Medicare tax from 1.45 percent to 2 percent and the Social Security tax from 6.2 percent to 6.5 percent. In addition, I propose tripling the FICA maximum, currently at $184,750, with a new 7.5-percent crediting rate to preserve the defined benefit nature of the payouts. Implementing these increases would generate about $300 billion per year and keep these programs solvent through the end of the century.

God forbid that we should explore ways to end these programs. Just raise the taxes collected for them every so often until it eats up everything else.

Sir Keir Starmer choked up as he announced his resignation as UK Prime Minister Monday – less than 2 years after the Labour Party stormed to a landslide general election win.

They didn't exactly "storm to a landslide". Their share of votes cast was scarcely different than 2019. They won more seats because Reform took what were usually Tory votes.

85 Anthropic’s most powerful artificial intelligence model reportedly breached ‘almost all’ US classified systems in a matter of hours, according to Senator Mark Warner, who says the head of the National Security Agency told him directly that the model had penetrated nearly every classified system it was tested against. The claim has not been publicly confirmed by any government agency.

Senator Mark Warner, vice-chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said on 11 June that General Joshua Rudd, who leads both the NSA and the Pentagon’s Cyber Command, told him directly that Anthropic’s Mythos model ‘broke into almost all of our classified systems, not in weeks, but in hours.’ The extent of the alleged breach and which specific systems were affected have not been publicly disclosed. Anthropic did not respond to a request for comment.

The warning emerged alongside an abrupt move by the Trump administration to block foreign access to Anthropic’s two most advanced models, Mythos and Fable.

86 The Telegraph: Iran walks out of peace talks after Trump outburst. US president threatens to restart his bombing campaign in expletive-laden phone calls and posts on social media

Ok, $500 billion and he gives the Ayatollah a hand job on tv, then. Whatever makes America a strong winner whom the world respects. 🙄

The biggest problem with this deal is not the deal, it is the dealer. Trump’s word is worthless. He could offer 1 trillion dollars and everyone gets a free Tesla. Whatever he signs is just going to get torn up when his feelings change.

Republicans know they're cooked the moment he croaks. Keeping the cult he fostered is going to be difficult without their god emperor at the helm

Thank goodness we don’t have an emotional woman as president, right everyone who voted for him?

112 I don’t know whether we’re winning or losing with the Iran situation. I personally think it’s a mixed bag. I will say that I saw Bill Maher comment over the weekend that we’ve lost… and while I think Maher is a POS he’s actually a fairly honest broker ( astonishingly) and he favored the Iran action and wanted Trump to go farther… and Maher thinks at this moment at least that we’ve lost (too many hollow threats with no follow through)

That perception that we lost is out there and that’s not good. The Iranian bluster sure sounds like they think they won

Carl Benjamin was making the same point. He viewed the results as generally good for Restrore, bad for Reform, and while temporarily good for Labour, the reason Labour is unpopular because their fundamental beliefs and solutions to problems don't work. You can change the figurehead all you want, but until you change the core values and solutions, they're destined to fail.

In international politics, perception IS reality. Iran isn’t just talking like they won, they are acting like they won. Pictures circulating of thousands of posters put up in Tehran this weekend, offering $1000 (American) to any man who will volunteer to go to Lebanon and fight for Hezbollah. To be paid for with the money pouring in today.

Iran views the talk about blowing power plants as a giant bluff that Trump doesn’t have the nerve to carry out. They’ve called the bluff.

If there’s to be any hope of salvaging the situation, the US needs to order a massive wave of strikes right now. Sadly, all we see is Vance in Switzerland agreeing that Israel is committing genocide in Lebanon, just to make the Iranians happy.

This is completely and totally predictable. Revelations from former career Pfizer executive is that drugs that quickly heal are dropped in favor of drugs that provide lifelong subscriptions. Cash flow, increasing quarterly returns.

There is also EMTALA and 100M+ foreigners and natives who lead lifestyles that require chronic care offering no means to pay.

The cultural expectations of Health Care Rights drive continued insurance as part of compensation.

There is no profit motive to make care more efficient for as long as a third party is paying. The only motive is to pump up margins and AI fits right in there.

160 "A coronation looks to be looming for Andy Burnham as a major rival pulled out of the race to succeed Keir Starmer.

Wes Streeting declared he will not seek the top job, throwing his weight behind Mr Burnham in the wake of the PM's resignation.

The announcement makes it far more likely that the former Greater Manchester Mayor will be in No10 by this time next month. "

Use lots of oil and a thermometer. The oil cools when you put the food in, so the more oil...the less cooling!

162 It is worth remembering what Trump’s original stated goal in Iran was.
March 6, 2026, Truth Social post:

“ There will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!” Following Tehran’s submission to the ongoing military campaign should be “the selection of a GREAT & ACCEPTABLE Leader(s),”

163 He said he wanted them to give up their nukes. Period. He accomplished that by blowing the shit out of their nuke facilities. They will not be a nuclear power any time soon.

But we'll go ahead and call him a failure for not accomplishing things WE put as his goal that wasn't originally his goal......
Posted by: Sponge - F*ck Cancer at June 22, 2026 08:44 AM (2YhKe)

I thought we blew up their nuke capabilities last June. How many times can the same thing be blown up before it’s actually blown up?

Maybe we delayed it some, who knows. Nobody really does. We didn’t end it, that’s for sure.They will be back to doing what right we’re doing the second the ink is dry on the “peace deal”.

And regime change isn’t something WE said. He said it repeatedly. Remember his tweets to the Iranian people that he has their back? Don rewrite history man.

167 Trump is constrained by American domestic politics. He had to stop so the midterms can be contested and hopefully won. If he needs to return to Iran, I am sure he will (having done so repeatedly over his two terms).

True, but President Trump has not helped his case. He has not spoken to the American people and explained what he is doing and why he is doing it.

That leads to the chaotic analysis and a sort of fill-in-the-blank foreign policy, and that is a problem.

Started happening after Columbine and really accelerated after that school shooting in Florida in 2017 (IIRC… the one where David Hogg heroically survived)…. At this point most schools are like fortresses. I went back to my old HS a few years ago in a tiny midwestern town and to my astonishment I couldn’t walk inside… had to be buzzed in by the main office. Security measures doncha know… I mean that tiny town is never gonna have a school shooting but it’s follow the leader amongst the edu-ma-cation class…
