The Morning Report — 7/ 23 /26

Good morning kids. Say what you will about President Trump, and it is my opinion that he will be remembered in the fullness of time as among our greatest of President's primarily for reestablishing sane American foreign policy that both ensures our own national security but ultimately results in the true liberation of the oppressed masses suffering under the yoke of tyrannical communism/socalism especially here in our own hemisphere. As CBD and I discussed on the latest episode of the podcast linked here and in the sidebar as well as available on the popular platforms listed at the bottom of this post, led by for once by an intelligent, driven and unabashedly pro-American Secretary of State in the person of Marco Rubio, Latin America which for far too long had been relegated to basket case status is undergoing a reverse domino effect wherein socialist hellhole nations have rid themselves of socialism and are embracing liberty and freedom. Most notably Nayib Bukele in EL Salvador as well as Javier Milei in Argentina. Although Hugo Chavez and the Maduro-ista cancer has been excised from Venezuela the situation there is still in flux. But that said, I think America and Americanism are on the march here in our hemisphere for sure. And that said, there are rumblings in the air that the long imprisned Caribbean Island gulag of CUBA might before long breathe free for the first time in over 66 years. About the only people who would not be celebrating would be our fellow citizens in name only — the cadres and leadership of the Democrat/Left.

The secretary noted that the end goal would be to uproot the communists and have "Cuba where the people of Cuba can experience prosperity, safety, security and a better life moving forward." “We’re prepared to be realistic about how you do that and patient about the serious process that leads to that. We’ve engaged them from time to time in that regard and know where we stand on that issue. Hopefully that’s where it arrives.

That would be marvelous but how can we uproot the communists right here at home and ensure that America and the American experiment can survive and thrive for another 250 years. Despite the rise of the so-called Democratic Socialists who are neither of those things although Socialism is the cancer from which untold millions can will and have perished. It must be utterly smashed if we are to continue, and there seem to be positive signs. We reported on a recent poll indicating a broad swathe of the nation are genuinely terrified and revolted by the prospect of Communism,

Four in ten Americans view communists in the United States as posing a major or moderate threat, a recent weekly survey from the Economist/YouGov found. The survey asked respondents, “How much of a threat, if any, do Communists in the United States pose today?” Across the board, 43 percent considered communists in the U.S. as at least a moderate threat. More specifically, 18 percent consider it a “major” threat, and 25 percent consider it a “moderate” threat. Another 23 percent consider it a “minor” threat, and 33 percent said communists in the U.S. pose no threat at all.

And yet, this shit:

There’s little question that the Democratic Socialists of America are more influential than any time in recent history. Indeed, it’s perhaps the most influential arm of the Democratic Party today, wielding policy clout and winning local elections. But are DSA policies really so popular? July’s I&I/TIPP Poll asked voters to find out.
The DSA’s recent “Workers Deserve More!” document outlined its main policy goals. For I&I/TIPP’s July Poll, taken by 1,473 Americans from June 29 through July 2, voters were asked whether they agreed or disagreed with five separate DSA proposals. The poll has a margin of error of +/-2.8 percentage points.
First, I&I/TIPP asked about DSA’s proposal for the “abolition of jails and prisons.”
Only 26% agreed either strongly (10%) or somewhat (16%) with this plan, while 62% disagreed strongly (47%) or somewhat (15%).

The other questions/DSA policy aims are equally revolting as I'm sure you can imagine.

I guess most people who are reportedly terrified of communism are unaware that its precursor is socialism. At some point you just throw up your arms at this mess.

We'll see if the two term presidency of Marco Rubio can deal with this. I look forward to that, Democrat election thievery notwithstanding.

Have a good day,

Altogether, the Department of Justice has already identified almost 300,000 citizens registered to vote across a handful of states.

7 Sherrill used the information to hit back at Trump and take credit for election integrity…even though the announcement just happened to come out after the president spoke about election fraud and DHS found over 30,000 noncitizens on New Jersey’s voter rolls.

knowingly giving false information when registering to vote is a felony under federal law, punishable by up to $10,000 in fines and/or up to five years in prison.

Letting the rioters know they're succeeding. Not sure it's the best course of action, but whatever.

I still contend the rioters should be kept 500 ft. or more from any entrance or gate. If they advance, shoot to kill.

40 Amidst all the news dropping all around us one thing that has been largely overlooked is very well done report by the Rubio State Dept. detailing the link between the communist government in Cuba and the rapid spread of communism in western countries most notably the US. It wasn't a coincidence, Cuba has been recruiting and training US activists for years and infiltrating our schools and institutions.

It is no accident communism is on the rise in the US and countries around the world. It was a plan and it was centered in Cuba.

Let's hope it doesn't fall into Carl von Clausewitz' concept of escalation to the extremes.

What we are in may be Kahn's Escalation ladder/Escalation Dominance

What is most interesting is if we fall into William Zartman's Mutually hurting stalemate, which is possible if the Muslims decided to bring the war here to the point where Heritage Americans are tired of seeing their churches burn down and their infrastructure wrecked.

70 Iran's vast, underground missile and drone manufacturing and storage facilities are going to continue to be a problem. There are a lot of them. Scattered all over the country. It's quite impressive.

Some reports, a couple years ago, suggested Iran had at its disposal 10's of thousands of drones and thousands of ballistic missiles in storage. With more being assembled weekly.

I'd imagine the materials for those, if not domestically available, are running very low. But the stockpile apparently is robust enough to continue hitting local targets in the Gulf area. Longer range stuff, able to hit Israel or further, is apparently nearly depleted.

TL ; DR Iran's running out of shit to fight with. Slowly.

It asserts that “The Chapter” was created to sway judges in high-stakes climate lawsuits.

Every week there is a report where data researchers just look at data to compare two sets of facts.
Example: In the 60 years from 1907 to 1966 vs. 1967 to 2026 how many days were over 95 degrees. So you just read the data from 100 (or whatever number is sig.) and then compare the 2.

Again, I don't think that is random, Salty. Trump was asked the other day if he plans to do anything about China meddling in our elections. He replied something along the lines that it was old news. And generals got purged.

Meanwhile, he has taken control of 2 of China's major oil and gas stations. Which just so happens to be crushing Cuba at the same time.

To me the most overlooked part of all it was regaining western control over the Panama Canal, arguably a much more strategic waterway than Hormuz.

The MIC might be satisfied with that (probably not), the US must keep conflict going on somewhere around the world so that the paychecks and pensions keep flowing.

Bombing Iran is turning into a nice reliable incoming stream. Sort of like owning rental units.

The Bill Ayers types, who were early participants in the Cuban influence campaign, have infested our universities for decades. They focus largely on the struggle against the imperial forces that have enslaved people who go to Ivy League schools when they aren't summering in the Hamptons.

The key, of course, is to redistribute the wealth from the rich to those who truly deserve it, the workers. Because only people in menial jobs work. Story kind of ends there.

Don't assume that she believes anything she says. But believe that she will say anything.

Without Trump around, it's far more likely the Republicans will be rolled by a totally fake "movement" suddenly sweeping the nation that more than half our side will believe was organic and somehow unstoppable because "young people".

And most elected Republicans still want to be rolled. They find it far easier to lose and complain and collect scraps from the big boy table than to command the big boy table.

269 I posted this commentary yesterday, but it's still relevant today;

Many young adults entering the workplace today are mostly unprepared. They have been taught nothing about keeping a schedule, showing initiative, personal responsibility and so on.

We have several local industries. Manufacturing and agriculture mostly. Medical stuff too. And there's at least a couple big names like Ford and UPS. However the social media feeds are chock full of people bitching about having to keep a schedule, do tasks they didn't think they'd have to do and so on. Many hate to "take orders" from someone else.

They quit after a week or two. And then bitch about not being able to find another job that suits their lifestyle. So they pander online. Ask for handouts.

There's a lot of them. Not one is capable of working a normal job without having some sort of accommodation made for one or more of their phobias or insecurities.

Socialism was taught to them from 1st grade as the solution to all that.

Over time, people who think they're too intelligent to have been indoctrinated won't even bother to even look at evidence that goes against what they were taught.
I bought it too when in high school. So many churches saying 'The Bible tells us who. Science tells us how.'

So many discoveries over the last 60+ years...
And #The Science ignores them or hand waves them away.

330 “My administration has reviewed every avenue available under applicable law to determine whether New York City could execute the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrant if Benjamin Netanyahu came here. It is clear that we do not have the independent legal authority to enforce this warrant.”. . .

What’s really going on here is most likely that Mamdani is simply not as interested in the affairs of New York City as he is in Israel and Gaza. As a Marxist Twelver Shi’ite, he holds to two ideologies that want to see Israel destroyed, as a colonial oppressor and as an insult to Islam. That issue interests him much more than questions of the safety of New Yorkers, or the cleanliness of New York streets, or whatever else may be on his desk at the moment.

Exactly

332 While the collapse of the Soviet Union and the profound economic and political changes in
China largely rendered the Soviet model of communism extinct, the Cuban Marxist project not
only survived, but thrived. The institutional power of Leninism, Stalinism, and even Maoism – at
least in their original orthodox forms – has been severely diminished. But Castro’s ideological
project now enjoys something approaching ideological hegemony in leftist circles both within
and beyond the West. By the turn of the twenty-first century, Havana had solidified its place as
the ideological capital of the modern radical left.

You’re thinking of the unemployment rate. To be counted as unemployed by the govt you have to be actively looking for work. If someone stops looking they are no longer considered unemployed. If a lot of people do that the unemployment rate falls.
