The Morning Report — 5/ 27 /25

Good morning kids. Hope you all had an enjoyable Memorial Day weekend. While it is certainly with sadness and gratitude that we pause to honor and remember all of those who gave their lives in our wars to preserve our freedom. They were, are, and will be the very best that this nation has to offer.

I bookend that thought by noting the passing of one of the worst examples of humanity whose adult life can only be described as a stain and a desecration of everything that every decent American holds dear. With that we bid a sigh of relief as the soul of former congressman Charles Rangel descends to the infernal reaches towards eternal damnation. He leaves behind a slimy trail of decades of venality, corruption, racism and hatred for America and its greatness, and support for its enemies; tyrants and thugs both foreign and domestic who sought and continue to seek our destruction, he being a shining example of the latter, as his long and horrendous dossier at Discover the Networks denotes in scrupulous detail.

If I am breaking with the unwritten rule or convention of not spitting on the grave of a political enemy at the time of their passing, then so be it. Charlie Rangel and his ilk are as culpable in the life and death of the monster they created, George Floyd, and the subsequent wave of domestic terrorism that left dozens of cities in ashes and ruins 5 years ago this weekend to say nothing of the previous decades of racial violence and strife that they and their party fomented all in the name of seizing absolute power and control. All in the name ironically of supposedly attempting to redress the original sin of Slavery and Jim Crow that they themselves were responsible for in the first place. The Democrat/Left is quick on the draw with the "G" word — Genocide. Whether accusing Israel of committing it against the Dark Age barbarians who roast their children alive in front of their parents or the constant drumbeat of the blood libel of institutional white supremacy that has destroyed black America. The only thing that has destroyed black America is institutional Democrat/Leftist supremacy and its destructive policies going back 60 years to LBJ's so-called "war On Poverty" and "Great Society," Of which Charlie Rangel was a Kapo and Enforcer for decades.

SO RIP Rangel. Roast in Piss, and take your whole damned party and movement with you. The sooner the better.

As a palate cleanser, and in stark contrast:

Amazing isn't it how this nation can produce such diametric opposites as these fine men, and at the same time give rise to the aforementioned human excrement Rangel.

Basta cosi. While there are signs of an American revival, culturally and otherwise with the coming of the MAGA movement, The anti-Americans have precious few options except for violence, as we have witnessed everywhere from college campuses, to pregnancy centers, to Christian schools to, GOP offices and Tesla dealerships and everywhere in between.

When all you have to offer is hatred, misery and death, then that's what we'll get. And yet here they are pissing and moaning not understanding why their party is sinking. Here's a clue: It's not the messengers it's the message itself. But to admit that is to bring about an existential crisis, and the Democrats will never allow that.

Rahm Emanuel, an ex-Obama White House chief of staff and former Chicago mayor, said in a Wall Street Journal interview published Monday that the Democratic Party’s brand is “weak and woke.”

Emanuel also told the WSJ that he believes the Democratic Party’s brand is “toxic.” The interview comes amid increasing speculation that Emanuel could be a potential candidate in the party’s 2028 presidential primary, which is likely to be crowded. “I’m tired of sitting in the back seat when somebody’s gunning it at 90 miles an hour for a cliff,” Emanuel told the WSJ.

“If you want the country to give you the keys to the car, somebody’s got to be articulating an agenda that’s fighting for America, not just fighting Trump,” Emanuel told the outlet. “The American dream has become unaffordable. It’s inaccessible. And that has to be unacceptable to us.” (RELATED: ‘Insulted President Biden,’ ‘Insulted President Obama,’ And ‘Fully Embraced Trump’: Rahm Emanuel Blames Netanyahu For Making Israel A ‘Partisan Issue’)

Totally clueless. If you claim your "Brand" is toxic, well then genius, define the brand? It's not how you articulate a policy, or more accurately how you lie about what your policy is, it's the policy itself. Shouting NAZI from center stage at a Nuremberg rally while pointing at the smoldering synagogue your supporters just torched is just not going to cut it anymore, chum. More and more people are seeing you and yours as the insane, criminal, destructive perverts that you are and they are repulsed.

Also we have this analysis of the Democrats from the NY Times and they aren't sanguine about the Democrat brand either. Although they too will never admit the real reasons but instead will just make the usual excuses and insult those who are abandoning the party.

And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

Have a great day.
