The Morning Report — 8/ 17 /26

RancidaDog.jpg


Good morning kids. So, how in Heaven's name did this happen?


Located approximately 650 feet northeast of the White House grounds, the 100-year-old Securities Building on 15th Street was purchased on July 21, 2026 [sic] for $8.4 million by the Philip Qiu and Family Foundation, filings show. The building’s new owner, Philip Qiu, has held numerous positions within Chinese intelligence and state security arms, according to
university records and DCNF translations of Chinese government announcements.

Considering the Chi-Coms have already purchased untold thousands of acres of our farmland as well as land adjacent to many of our military bases, this really is not that surprising as it is disgusting and alarming. In this instance, I don't think there is any legislation that requires real estate agents or property owners to investigate or refuse to sell to any potential buyers. Then again considering the metastasis of the Confucius Institutes on our campuses as well as the infiltration of Red Chinese nationals into some of our most sensitive tech firms, who for sure would have been or should have been vetted by HR departments out the wahzoo.

At least we have a tiny bit of sanity to celebrate coming out of Texas.

Frankly, the very idea of this project rubbed me the wrong way. Why would airport officials in Texas be pandering to the Muslim community in such an obvious, unnecessary, discriminatory, and, as I see it, humiliating way? This is America.. . Apparently, I wasn’t the only one irked by the project. Many Americans opposed the installation of Wudu ablution stations — including Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R). In a Friday memo, Abbott announced he’d directed a review of all state grants to Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airports. The news release read (in part): These ablution facilities appear designed to single out one subset of the population for special treatment based on religion. That is illegal. Both airports are government-owned facilities. The federal and state constitutions prohibit government from facilitating this sort of discrimination. Just as the government cannot favor the secular over the sacred, it also cannot favor one religious view over all others.

Actually, if these installations were made dual usage, I could support them. Muslim foot-washing and Dog Urinals. Plus Toilet paper with Koranic passages printed on them, although that could cause mass perianal-infections and we can't have that, can we?

And of course this madness continues seemingly unabated, despite the best efforts of President Trump which to date has been yielding considerable successes. And hence we have to contend with what amounts to mass insurrection

Democrats in blue states across the country have swamped their legislatures with an avalanche of nearly 250 pro-migrant bills to thwart President Donald Trump’s immigration and deportation policies... The bills have been enthusiastically supported by state Democrats, but many have been opposed by legal action by the federal government. In some blue states, though, some of the measures have even been vetoed by Democrat governors who fear the measures go too far... The left is using liberal judges to obstruct the president’s mandate, says James Percival, General Counsel for the Department of Homeland Security: “They know if they can just get enough crazy district judges to do enough crazy things, they can run out the clock.”

There is only one proper response to this and that is the ramping up of ICE operations to deport as many illegal aliens as possible and the utter rejection of all rulings by any court that attempts to interfere with the legal operation of federal authorities in the securing of our borders and defense of our national security and protenction of the citizenry.

Meanwhile the Democrats continue to take their "Lumps" shall we say, and it's delicious.

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) responded to a recent poll that found that more than half of Democrats have a positive view of socialism over capitalism, stating that “this is lunacy.”

If you had told me back when Fetterman ran and defeated Mehmet Oz back in 2022 that he would actually not only sound and even on occasion act sane I'd have said you were crazy. Yet there he is supporting Israel, secure borders and publicly calling out his own party as insane. Yes, there is no doubt that his past as a died-in-the-wool lib means he will always vote the way the party leadership demands. And yet, there he is and there he goes. Good for him. Be nice if we had an actual conservative saying what he's saying instead of going down on Mitch McConnell's heir apparent du jour, be it Thune or Cornyn or God-forbid Susan Collins or whoever.

While we're on the subject of madness there's this:

It’s mid-August. That can only mean one thing – Democrat politicians spreading fabrications about the police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, on August 9, 2014.

The most persistent fabrication is the claim that Brown was a “gentle giant” gunned down while his hands were raised up and saying don’t shoot. “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot” became the slogan of the organized Black Lives Matter movement, which was launched after the Brown shooting. . . This year was quieter than most years but leave it to Rashida Tlaib to tweet that Michael Brown was “murdered”:

Mike Brown should still be with us today.

Yeah, were it not for the fact of Democrats' and LBJ's Great Society that caused the genocide (There's a word for you Lefties!) of the black family and the general societal dissolution that we are suffering 60 years on and will continue until there is a radical change in culture and education back to normalcy.

Oh, Senator Fetterman if you want to see lunacy in action, here's a gigantic heaping helping of it that you should call out, but probably won't. Oh well...

Have a good day,

Gov. Beshear: ‘It’s Time’ to Abolish the Electoral College

The only way I see that happening is to hollow out the Electoral vote extra-constitutionally by 1) an interstate compact to award a state's EV to the national popular vote winner and 2) massive blue state vote fraud.

Otherwise it will take an amendment. And that would require ratification by three-quarters of the states, either by vote of the legislature or a state convention. There are a lot of stupid GOPe turkeys, but I can't see them all voting for Thanksgiving.

57 According to documents from the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, “the installation of the Wudu ablution stations [was] expected to be completed by the end of the year.”

The documents stated the project would cost approximately $300,000 and that it was privately funded. The stations would prevent water from spilling onto restroom floors and “protect sink counters.”

You cannot build a water fountain at a public airport for $300k. I bet someone was going to put up $300k private and the city or state was going to cover the other $3 to $5 Million.

72 "AOC stands for Always On Camera," Conway said. "She is a performer, not a reformer. She went to Washington to legislate; that's her job. She's a pontificator, not a legislator."

Conway's point was simple: if you're not good at legislating, you find something else to be good at, like living online, playing with your hair, and giggling every time someone asks whether you'd be fit to serve as commander-in-chief.

78 All told, the sources provided by the AIs were extant and valid only 46% of the time. This rate was 57% for ChatGPT, 49% for Gemini, 32% for Grok, and 44% for Claude, all solid “F” grades. Given that these rates were much lower than their correct answer scores, this raises serious questions about where the AIs got their answers.

79 For the sake of argument, let’s say there were World Elections every four years. Would anyone believe letting India and China decide everything would be a good idea?

The Electoral College is a way of ensuring all voices are heard, balancing the power of the ballot between large population centers and more rural areas, more rural states. It also requires candidates to moderate their positions on many issues. If you think leftist candidates are weird now…

84 Javier Milei: “I thought being on the left was a mental problem. The empirical evidence is so overwhelming that it never worked anywhere, and they refused to accept it.”

“But what I discovered is that being on the left is a disease of the soul. The left is built on envy, hatred, resentment, and unequal treatment under the law. They are very violent, and since they have no way or arguments to answer, they go for physical violence.”

"clean line of sight" is simply not true. There are taller buildings west of the Securities Building blocking any sort of view.

I'm just more amazed that someone could buy up a building in the capitol district for $230/sq ft. Residential housing runs $580/sq ft. It appears to be a Class B building, so $260/sq ft typical. Then again 22% vacancy in that area thanks to Covid.

I want to see Trump launch a massive, national public education (nay, propaganda) campaign about the Left, their history, tactics, historical and present guises and objectives -- TV, radio, social media, billboards. If schools won't do it, the government needs to, as a public safety imperative. Treat the Left like the viral/bacterial scourge that it is, greater than polio or any historical public health threat. Let them scream -- use their screams in the campaign.

Lack of regular semen injections as a woman ages can cause mental illness, the desire for shorter and shorter hair, facial hair and a permanent scowl known in the medical community as "bitter face".

This is still no excuse for men to wear flipflops in public places that aren't a pool, beach, lake or backyard barbeque.

Oh and one more point on this, and it is a fundamental one.

Out current elites don't believe in an afterlife so the here and now is all they have. And they are getting old.

So they are willing to take major, major risks in seeking immortality - whether it be gene therapies, trying to contact aliens, AI, or nano-tech, they are willing to take significant risks with the very existence of mankind if it could possibly extend their lives.

286 "US Can't Bomb Its Way To Victory": Scotiabank Maps Bessent's Coming Economic Hammer On Iran

What could Bessent do to economically isolate Iran further that has "never been seen"?

- Target China and India
- Broaden the scope of sanctions on Iran
- Target Iranian crypto assets
- Target global ports

China buys more than 90% of Iran's oil exports, making it the most likely target in any effort by Bessent to cut Tehran's energy revenues. But the escalating economic war would carry significant risks. Sanctions on large Chinese companies or financial institutions could escalate tensions with Beijing.
