The Morning Report — 10/16 /26

Good morning kids. In the lead there was yet another school shooting this time up in the town of Bend, Oregon. First and foremost prayers offered for the victims and their loved ones. For that of course we are to be mocked and scorned by our fellow citizens in name only, of the Left. I don't know about Oregon in general but Bend from what I know is a very Leftist community, and given the undue influence of Portland on the entire state I'll just assume the restrictions on the second amendment are widespread and in full force. I'm sure the usual geschrei from the Communists in both the propagandist media and politics will be at maximum volume and intensity, as is the case in the wake of incidents like this and with the crucial midterms just over two weeks away, the insanity of early voting already underway.

With that said, there are a few things worthy of note for this edition of the report, so let's kick things off with this nightmarish if not completely unsurprising story. That it is unsurprising is equally nightmarish, and yet.

A University of Wyoming student was arrested after police say she tried to poison a colleague, then attempted to flee to China when officers questioned her. Aili Wang, 32, was questioned by campus police after surveillance cameras set up by a coworker experiencing medical symptoms allegedly caught her rinsing his mug with liquid from her own cup on Oct. 1, according to a University of Wyoming police affidavit, which added that she was seen on camera “taking photos and manipulating notebooks.” Wang didn’t get along with the coworker, who wasn’t named in court documents. Surveillance footage allegedly showed Wang searching through the victim’s desk; the victim specialized in disease treatment technology, work similar to what she had done in China. . . Now you may think this is just some sort of bizarre thing that one crazy person did. But there’s been a pattern of such incidents all involving foreign researchers and students involved in the sciences on college campuses. . .

. . . There’s some obvious patterns here. . .Professional rivalry likely plays a role. China is very academically competitive and while the vast majority of students aren’t poisoning people, clearly some are, while others understand that such behaviors exist. Call it ‘cultural differences’. Or something else to be aware of.

I for one it's not personal, but it's high-level Chi-Com intrigue and sabotage. Considering what American Universities have been doing to the minds of young people for decades, this is almost a nothing-burger in comparison. And, thank you Harry Truman for not letting MacArthur storm across the Yalu River, nor nuking Beijing while we had the chance.

And then we have these — poison pen letters.

“The FBI and U.S. Postal Inspection Service are investigating a series of suspicious mailings sent to various addresses nationwide, including Secretary of State offices and their related election offices,” an FBI spokesperson told Fox News. “Some of the letters contained an unknown substance and we are working closely with our law enforcement partners to respond to each incident.” The notice included an image of one of the envelopes. The return addresses indicate the letters came from the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) with the address the organization lists on its membership forms: 75 Maiden Lane in New York City.

By any means necessary, we must have paradise on earth!

If you went to public school any time after 2000, you may not have even taken a history class. If you did, it’s highly unlikely that the lefties who taught you covered how many Soviet citizens died under Josef Stalin. Under Stalin, roughly 1.7 million Soviet citizens died in gulags from 1930 to 1953. That doesn’t include the roughly 5 million to 7 million who died from famine as a result of socialist policies. Yale historian Timothy Snyder has estimated that Stalin’s regime deliberately murdered about 6 million Soviet citizens. . .

. . . As leftists often tell us any time we point out the failures of socialism, “That’s because it’s never been tried the right way before.”

Let’s see whether the leader of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) got it right. Mao Zedong’s kill numbers are from the low “tens of millions” to upward of 80 million.  All were his own people. No one can get a very accurate count for how many he killed, because the best possible sources were killed.

As with Russia, Mao’s weapon of choice was famine – letting people starve to death.Historians say that under Mao, his people suffered from the deadliest famine in recorded history. They blame “collectivization,” falsified food production data and reports, suppression (censorship) of accurate information, and general mismanagement. . . What none of them see coming is that when socialism fails, and it always does, the leaders already know whom to blame: conservatives and Republicans, all because they resisted the socialist wave and made it difficult to actually execute socialism the right way.

The embrace of Bernie Sanders, Mamdani, El-Sayed and all the rest by far too many of our young people and considering the saga of American academia for over 60 years many many more who should be old enough to know better but of course don't.

It's been said probably in every election since '64 if not before, but this one and '28 could be lights out forever if either or both go south. At least the Democrats of yore were better at hiding who and what they were/are way back when, or that's how I seem to remember things. Nowadays the freak flags are flying in the breeze.

And right out front and high is the flag of ISLAM!

On these and all the rest I bid you all to have a great weekend.

• As leftists often tell us any time we point out the failures of socialism, “That’s because it’s never been tried the right way before.”...The people behind the White House website got it right. Socialism kills. It kills intentionally, and it kills unintentionally. Either way, when socialist leaders do things that end up killing millions, one thing that never changes is that they don’t care. They don’t care that it happened. They don’t care who died. They don’t care about the lies or empty promises they made to secure power. And so, when the common people start to drop dead because of failed socialist policies, and leaders make no real attempt to keep their promises, those same psychopaths just look the other way. Young Americans who make up Generation Z cannot comprehend that the socialists they love and support would ever not care about them. After all, they promised a better world. They promised that once capitalism is defeated, America would become a utopia.

Those on the left carping that the Omar investigation is politically motivated can’t be taken seriously. Not after they spent a decade engaged in blatant lawfare — first by attempting to annul the 2016 election of Donald Trump by concocting one lurid conspiracy theory after the next, and then by trying to stop him from running for the presidency in 2024. When you spend your time stripping away norms, you can’t expect the other side to unilaterally disarm.

They just never imagined someone else might apply it to them.  They're not understanding that fine point; it shows us that for all their chanting abort it, they are clueless about how actual democracy (small d) and rule of law actually work.  Clearly they're not about saving democracy... just Democrats.
