The Morning Report — 7/ 6 /26

Good morning kids. I hope you all had a wonderful, blessed and relaxing July Fourth Independence Day holiday weekend. In spite of all the challenges, and in reality existential threats that we face from those who seek to deprive us of that which our Founding Fathers fought and bequeathed to us 250 years ago, we're still here, keeping the faith and the flame of liberty alive as best we can. Sadly, the greatest existential threat that we face is from our mortal enemy from within. Our alleged fellow citizens of the left who in point of fact — considering their actions over our history and their perveted beliefs bout the legitimacy of our history, heritage not just since 1776 but the past 2,000 years of it — constitute a foreign national entity that exists within our midst.

No great mystery as to how we got here.

“A combination of laziness, yes, and the liberal indoctrination that has been taking place in our education system for far too long,” Leavitt argued on X about the factors leading to the far left’s rise.
“There are far-left educators pumping students’ heads with garbage, convincing them that hard work and sacrifice won’t pay off down the road because they want them totally reliant on the government instead,” she wrote... “As the President has correctly warned, ‘communism is the enemy of free people everywhere. It is the enemy of the Constitution. Above all, it is the enemy of July 4, 1776.’ ”
During her interview with Watters, Leavitt warned that a full-blown “communist revolution” was unfolding in Congress and called communism “the biggest threat” to America in 250 years. . . Trump warned about the rise of communism during his addresses at Mount Rushmore and the National Mall for Independence Day.
“Our warriors did not fight communism on battlefields across the world only to have that menace rear its ugly head right back here in America. We’re not going to let it happen,” he vowed Saturday.

This madness did not happen overnight but has metastasized over the course of several decades. While this cancer certainly existed 50 years ago at the time of the bicentennial, for the most part it was not in evidence from what I recall and the July Fourth holiday that year was even more patriotic and celebratory across the board than in any years before or since. And yet the Left is still on the march, and unless there really is a drastic sea change in our culture, I have a dread of what will happen in the coming years.

Switching gears for now, as CBD and I kvetched about on the last episode of the podcast, linked here and somewhere in the sidebar as well as on the popular outlets listed at the bottom of this post . . .

it's hot outside. In case you missed it, it's summertime. It gets unbearably hot especially when one has no air conditioning.

Well, air conditioning is both a crime against the planet and white supremacist!

During his inaugural speech on Jan. 1, Mayor Zohran Mamdani declared, “We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.”It certainly feels warm these days.
As temperatures climbed during the heat wave that blanketed much of the eastern United States, the mayor took to social media with a familiar message from the government. “New York: it’s hot out there, and the power grid is working overtime to keep us cool,” he tweeted. “Set your AC to 78 degrees, turn off lights/electronics you’re not using, and unplug what you can.” This is the real face of the political left: Individual comfort and convenience should be subordinated to collective priorities, with government officials deciding how much energy ordinary people ought to consume. Over the pond in Europe, we are seeing the effects of that warm glow of collectivism in full force. Decades of climate policy, energy restrictions and cultural hostility toward air conditioning have left millions of Europeans sweltering without one of the greatest public health innovations of the modern age.
They are trying to stay cool with fire trucks spraying water in public squares and parks. Even hospitals and the homes of medically fragile individuals are overheating. It is hard to imagine a clearer illustration of the cruelty of collectivism in practice.
A healthy group of neighbors has decided that one disabled man’s ability to breathe comfortably matters less than preserving their preferred aesthetic and soundscape. They insist they are acting for the common good. The person who bears the greatest burden is the one least capable of bearing it.
And the price is being counted in bodies.
The only reliably cool buildings in parts of Paris are its morgues. Funeral homes and mortuaries in and around the French capital have been overwhelmed in recent weeks, with some running out of refrigerated space for the dead. France recorded roughly 1,000 excess deaths during the peak of the heat wave, most of them among the elderly.

well, I guess I wasn't shifting gears at all. It's a scam, a sham and a dodge to steal our freedom and destroy the engine that built the prosperity that fueled American greatness creating the greatest and freest society in history. For that, it must be destroyed

As Europe and much of North America endured record heat in recent days, headlines quickly appeared claiming that the heat wave was "virtually impossible" without human-caused climate change.
To many readers, that sounds like a conclusion drawn directly from observations. It is not. It is the product of a branch of climate research known as extreme weather attribution, which relies heavily on computer models rather than direct measurements.
This was not an isolated claim. Whenever a major storm, wildfire, flood, or heat wave occurs, similar headlines soon follow. We are told that climate change made an event "twice as likely," "35 times more likely," or even "virtually impossible" without human influence. These figures are widely repeated by politicians, journalists, and activists as though they were direct scientific observations. . . This does not mean that climate never changes. Of course it does. Earth's climate has always changed. The question is whether modern attribution studies can confidently separate natural variability from human influence to the extraordinary degree claimed.

Have a good day,

Global warmening, otherwise known as summertime. I remember well the summer of 1986 because I was in army basic training that summer at Fort Jackson, SC… and it was HOT! We had something like a ridiculous 20 days in a row above 100 deg…, the drill sergeants were desperate that none of us slimy privates die of heat stroke so they were constantly forcing us to drink from our canteens. And they regularly “took us to the beach”… that was their euphemism for lining us up and spraying us down with a hose. No one died… the barracks were air conditioned, thank God

——-

I’m always astonished how things get mangled in translation or interpretation. Many years ago I was talking to some young troopie and he was sneering about the concept of hard work and dedication.

It’s a straw man argument. Hard work and dedication doesn’t guarantee success in life.

There is no chance without it, however. He didn’t realize that. It’s a crucial distinction. There is something of an element of luck involved as well, but as the old saying goes - “the harder I work, the luckier I get.”

There are too many perverse incentives in the U.S.A. working at cross purposes, I’ll say that.

To a certain extent they have a point. Look at the obstacles to home ownership, having a family and finding a job that some employer decides has to be done by an Indian.

But common tater's remark about you can't get the payoff without it is the perfect counterpoint.

And somehow--with no coordination whatsoever--a Reuters photographer just so happened to be on the metro they were all riding.
And, by complete coincidence, without any staging or planning at all, he managed to get a perfectly framed photo of a black woman surrounded by all these evil, hateful white supremacists.

But wait! There's more:
He also got a second photo of a black man also surrounded by the khaki wearing terrors.

Wow! The odds!

82 But just because no media will investigate the who, what and why behind Patriot Front--almost as if everyone knows it's a Democrat front group--doesn't mean they can't also smear all Republicans as supporting Patriot Front.

No less than Erick Erickson (still mad at conservatives for dumping Cornyn in TX and the Kemp Losers in GA), is amplifying and validating this smear with, "of course there are racists on the right and we need to call them out."

One leftie has claimed the Patriot Front is made of up Republican Congressional staffers. Of course, that's just to give headwaters to the smear so others can repeat and increase the claim.
Never-you-mind that that would be the biggest scoop in the last 10 years ... yet no media has investigated a single thing about Patriot Front?

Of the only know arrests, in Idaho of the Patriot Front, the only ever named members, the only names we know at all after 5+ years, the prosecutions fell apart because the FBI:
- took the cell phones
- drug their feet in analyzing the data
- refused to return the phones to the local law enforcement, and
- refused to allow the defense to examine the phones

Allowing the defense to largely exclude that evidence on the more serious charges: conspiracy, coordination, etc.

Which the FBI plays off as the bumbling of hapless bureaucrats.
And not intentional scuttling of the prosecution in order to protect their assets.

You have to have a college degree to be a field agent. So that means they aren't Barney Fife. Did anyone get fired for trashing the investigation KNOWING that they were violating constitutional rights?

If not, there's your answer. It was because they were investigating themselves. Prove. Me. Wrong.

As Reagan said of the Soviet Union in jest...""We begin bombing in five minutes"
Figuratively, of course...don't wanna get pulled into an FIB interrogation room like that girl in Florida...

124 If you have a food allergy, dining out at a chain restaurant just got a little safer. Starting July 1, California became the first state in the nation to require large restaurant chains to disclose allergens directly on their menus. The law applies to restaurants with 20 or more locations and covers nine allergens: milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, wheat, peanuts, soybeans and sesame. The information must appear on the menu or be available in a digital format with a physical backup.

126 Went to a picnic at Hillsdale college on Friday provided by the school with 300-400 other friends of Hillsdale, listened to some revolutionary war political readings and then watched the Hillsdale produced movie Revolutionary America. Produced also by Tom Selleck and narrated by him, excellent review of the events leading up to the revolution and then the eight years of war. Done with almost no reenactors, fade in and out of drawings, paintings , some video of locations. Excellent review, great music score. Description of Valley Forge got stomach churning at times.

If you are even mildly familiar with the US's separation from England, it was a massive Come From Behind effort. Over one third of the country were Torries, one-third couldn't care less, and only a fraction of those who cared would risk their lives, fortunes and sacred honor.

When we win, I don't mind having our descendants telling equal tales of how steep the slope was. Today's troubles will make for a great lead up to the climax in a future Non-Netflix movie of the struggle to extricated ourselves from Islam.

1. "Mass deportations" were as likely to happen as the nuking of Moscow or Tehran that so many masturbate over.
2. There was a story 2 weeks ago about them raiding several businesses.
3. Deportations were slowed by the rogue judges who've now been, somewhat, sidelined.
4. Despite the efforts of the judiciary, there have been a reported 675K deportations thus far, with an additional 2.2M voluntary departures.

No matter what the podcaster you listen to or editorialist you read says, things are happening. They're happening about as rapidly as they possibly can happen.

This problem has festered for our entire lives. It's not going to be corrected in #2weeks.

And now, very few are so unwilling to believe that maybe, just maybe, they bought into a lie, that they won't even take a look at the discoveries of the last 70 or so years that say "not so fast."

Result? You can't take The Book for what it says. Make it say whatever you want.

I knew here, she was a "stay at home dog mom". Her husband was making $$$ so she didn't need to work and they didn't have any actual kids so sure she had all the time in the world.

195 Community Notes

My group ran pragmatic people for office and won in 4 out of 5 cases. We were very loosely coordinated with our hapless county GOP organization. Mostly independent of the GOP.

The one loss was for the school board. He was crushed by the local newspaper, teachers, and the Left.

It is a hard struggle. I think homeschooling is the way.

Posted by: 18-1 at July 06, 2026 09:01 AM (sKqQm)

At least in my neck of the woods, funding for the schools and funding for everything else are two separate taxes so voting against the schools does nothing about the other issues.

I vote against the schools on the basis that they want to add unnecessary shit just so they can continue raking off a percentage.

197 Speaking of local government I was reading the facebook forum from a town near me

The town has banned outdoor water use because we are "in a drought". A town resident was mentioned she saw her neighbor watering her lawn and was trying to decide if she should ignore the neighbor, tell the neighbor to stop, or turn them in to the town.

And the responses were a mix of all three though the town Karens were universally arguing for turning the neighbor in.

But here is the hilarious kicker, this is the same town that recently seized the town's historic hotel/event location to tear it down to build slums for "newcomers".

Now, if your town has a "drought" every single summer the issue isn't weather conditions it is that you don't have enough water to support the current population level. And if you already have too many people you don't build slums to import massive numbers of immigrants...

I suspect you will start hearing a lot less about the PF train ride photo when they were intimidating the poor black woman.

See the link I posted at 192. That's the poor black woman in question. Other photos of her prior to the PF getting on the train show her on her knees, bent over and exposing her ass.

Here's the question I have about the PF. During the Biden administration we were told repeatedly that white nationalists were the biggest domestic terrorist threat to the US. How is it that this very public supposed white nationalist group has never been identified or investigated? Surely the FBI could have spared a little time from arresting J6 grannies and grandpas and parents attending PTA meetings.

I think Kalifornia has fewer dams that they did in 1980...they "retired" a few due to eco-commies wanting the snail sucking dart f**ker to have more water and to return lands "back to the way they were", but they won't touch dams that feed water to the libbie cities, like the Hetch-Hetchy Dam, which inundated an entire pristine valley near Yosemite.

273 Here's the question I have about the PF. During the Biden administration we were told repeatedly that white nationalists were the biggest domestic terrorist threat to the US. How is it that this very public supposed white nationalist group has never been identified or investigated? Surely the FBI could have spared a little time from arresting J6 grannies and grandpas and parents attending PTA meetings.

When you tell lefties there is no such thing as white nationalism, they simply freeze up. They've never considered that there is no boogey man.

Absolutely. Your kids are on the clock, and the time it takes to clean up the schools so that your kids aren't ruined will be well after they graduate.

BTW, the schools were pretty messed up in a different way in 1975. Lot of people had their kids in parochial schools and in many union dominated states, homeschooling was a truancy crime.

Homeschooling is legal in fifty states now. In some blue states, heavily regulated, but its legal.

The movement to end property taxes in states is a torpedo aimed directly at profligate local governments and education establishments. That is their source of automatic increased budgets just from inflation on property values. And local governments use that spigot to finance all kinds of bonds and spending to benefit their local political cronies.

I got tired of repairing or replacing squirrel damaged feeders. Nowadays, we mainly use the pepper infused suet cakes. Squirrels avoid those and the feeders are smaller with less waste--birds like even the crappier seed mixes when covered in fat.

See the games they play with words? It has been pervasive and relentless for a long time.

The rhetoric has shifted from “Equality under the law” and “Equal Opportunity” and treat everybody the same in a colorblind society based on character, aptitude, and merit, etc., to

“Whitey Needs To Die”. And this is emanating from our once hallowed halls of academia and other pseudointellectual outlets. If you don’t yet fully understand the implications of this, eventually you will.

It's kinda like using a transporter in Star Trek.

I would say no. You are dead. What appears on the other end of the transporter pad is your doppleganger.

I've always rejected that notion since I was a school kid - nobody should be forced to be educated, and I don't see the state interest in doing so.

Most parents will choose to educate their kids, given the option to do it. If the state wants to fund that, fine, but they shouldn't run any schools of their own, or mandate anything in terms of curricula.

Those parents who opt out - also, fine. That's a them problem. Not my problem, or the government's. We're not talking about them snuffing out cigarettes on the kid, here.

In terms of determining who gets any state funding, that's easy - write the checks to their private school of choice. That can be solved with a simple business licensure and even desultory auditing.

Would you trust Chinesium bird food? (Hint: you probably shouldn’t) They were selling adulterated baby milk formula and dog food and poisoning golly knows how many. Melamine spoofs spot detectors for protein levels in bulk shipments. Though it causes kidney failure.

It’s worth it to spend a little more to serve edible foods to our children, pets, and feathered friends.

On one hand, you may have a point but on the other, your libertarianism is equally not the answer because our society nowadays is too fractured to push the importance of literacy and apply social costs to those parents who let their kids rot.

And we forget, the Founders talked about Ordered liberty, not 'freedom' as it had a concept of society rather than government serving as the first block to individual anti-social behavior. Our current ruling class would be making excuses for miserable parents becuz of race, ethnicity, poverty, etc. rather than scolding and shaming them. And that made a difference in a society with no safety net other than private charity.

Incentives matter.
