The Morning Report — 12/31/24
Good morning kids. New Year's Eve 2025! Memories of my folks throwing parties for their friends at our place or being schlepped to their friends' homes for same, and of watching either Guy Lombardo, Dick Clark or the annual broadcast of the Jack Benny, Alexis Smith screwball comedy the Horn Blows at Midnight, while waiting for someone to yell at us to switch the channel (remote control? Luxury!) to see the ball to drop at Times Square.
In any case, whatever your plans are tiring in the New Year, please be safe. Avoiding drinking and driving is a breeze. Avoiding being set on fire or gang-raped by criminal, devil-worshipping Guatemalan savages is another story.
First up, we have this madness. . .
U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Matthew Graves will resign from his position on Jan. 16, he announced Monday. Under Graves, 1,572 defendants were charged with crimes related to their presence at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, according to his office. . .
. . . More than 250 of the defendants charged under Graves were impacted by the Supreme Court’s ruling in Fisher v. United States, which found the DOJ stretched an obstruction law designed for financial crimes when it used it to prosecute Jan. 6 defendants. “The Government’s reading of Section 1512 would intrude on that deliberate arrangement of constitutional authority over federal crimes, giving prosecutors broad discretion to seek a 20- year maximum sentence for acts Congress saw fit to punish only with far shorter terms of imprisonment—for example, three years for harassment under §1512(d)(1), or ten years for threatening a juror under §1503,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in the decision.
Since the ruling, the government has abandoned the charge in 96 pending cases and decided it would not oppose dismissing the charge in 54 cases that were already decided. Five defendants had their sentences reduced as a result of the ruling, according to Grave’s office. (RELATED: Biden Regrets Hiring Merrick Garland Because He Didn’t Prosecute Trump Enough: REPORT)
Graves recommended longer sentences for some non-violent Jan. 6 defendants than defendants with a more extensive criminal history.
Funny how Capitol PD officer Michael Byrd who shot and murdered an unarmed, non-violent Ashli Babbitt and other law enforcement agents provocateurs, among the several dozen FBI plants/confederates in the crowd as we now know, stomped and choked Roseanne Boyland to death, were not only never charged but if the usual suspects get to write the history books will all go down as heroes.
All things considered, Matthew Graves should go by the name of "Mass" Graves, considering his actions reflect a political lineage more in keeping with Roland Freisler and Lavrenty Beria.
Everyone who entered the Capitol building had the doors opened for them and were escorted inside by Malig-Nancy Pelosis goons with badges. Oh how she and her ilk go on and on about "protecting our precious democracy.
With that as the set-up, I ask the obviously rhetorical question, what do you suppose the reaction would be if this amoral eager "little Eichmann" Graves were to encounter his own personal Mangione. I'm just asking the question. I am neither encouraging nor eager for anyone to commit any act of violence, regardless of my well-known and well-read opinions about the 2020 election and the events of nearly four years ago on 1/6/21. Hell, I wrote a book about it.
And yet, here we are, which leads to my next item that dovetails nicely, if not somewhat depressingly as you can infer by the article, my observations and no doubt the observations of many of you.

The title and sub headline of this essay is,
Trump’s 2024 Victory – and American Restoral: A reprieve from the nonstop leftist onslaught on our Republic?
The gravamen of the author's discourse concerns Joey Sponge-Brain Shits=Pants rescinding of Trump's early E.O concerning the design of federal buildings.
Trump’s critics linked the former president to the authoritarians of the past because he too wanted government buildings built in the classical style. And since Hitler admired classical architecture, ergo, Trump is another Hitler? From reports, Hitler loved chocolate eclairs and puppies. So, as we follow the logic, all lovers of chocolate and puppies are secret Nazis as well.
Enough of Hitler and Mussolini and their brutalist imitation of the ancient world, let us reach back further into our own history. Let us look to Thomas Jefferson, the man who not only wrote the document that declared our independence from Great Britain but was, in so many ways, our founding architect.
One cannot help but stand in awe of the original buildings in Washington D.C., which emulate the majestic look of ancient temples, pillars, and domes. That aesthetic was by design, part of Jefferson’s vision of the United States and his creation of a new American culture. The founding father knew that if our new country were to succeed, it had to develop a culture that was entirely American, but based on the exemplars of the past. The inspirations for Jefferson’s political and architectural beliefs were the classical civilizations of ancient Greece and Rome. . .
. . .What of all this talk concerning glory, beauty, art, and culture? What makes it so critical to the survival and restoration of America? How does culture fit into the lexicon of “Making America Great Again”? I am arguing that it is at the heart of this national resurgence and restoration that we desperately need to take place. Whence America goes is unknown. With the 2024 election, we have a kind of reprieve from the nonstop Leftist onslaught on our culture, values, and on our very Republic. We also know that the Left will never relent, they will chase these false illusions until the end of time. Yes, that means attacking our economic system, attacking the “patriarchy” of America society, all the isms, the family, everything comes under attack. And central to these attacks is that of our history, culture, art, beauty, and everything that we cherish.
Indeed architecture is a metaphor and also an art form like so many other things that the wokesters and tyrannical communists seek to control and/or destroy in order to gain absolute power for their own purposes in reshaping the world in their own warped and twisted image. Indeed the miraculous RE-re-election of Donald Trump or perhaps more importantly the rejection of what the Democrats wrought during the prior four years is for sure in the short term only a reprieve.
To make America "great again" we must collectively make America "AMERICA" again, and that means those who vote for their and our own destruction have to wake the hell up and recognize that that is what they've been doing at least since the time of FDR and for sure since LBJ, every time Democrats control government. Forget the nation, if the residents of places like Detroit and Chicago don't or won't snap out of it there's no hope.
Because the dismantling of America as founded has been going on since Aaron Burr murdered Alexander Hamilton in 1804. We can elect Donald Trump and please God more like him for the next 40 years, the only sure way to restore this nation is the utter destruction of the Leftist political enterprise, the neutralizing of those who support it and dismantling of its official party which must be barred, banished and prevented from ever being allowed to hold office or lecture in the classroom, or have any platform for the dissemination of their libelous and murderous propaganda.
How we do that while still preserving the Constitution is the multi-trillion dollar, multi-million victim and multi-century question.
Leftists are fond of declaring that the Constitution isn't supposed to be a suicide pact, mostly as a pretext for stripping those who oppose hem of their rights and the ability to legally and peacefully resist their depredations, to commit the assisted suicide (that is the murder) of America as founded. But, in a strange way perhaps they're not far off the mark. Heaven help me for saying that, but until they prostrate themselves before us, our forbears, those they have victimized, driven insane, impoverished and murdered in their never-ending quest for absolute power and control, and at a minimum beg our forgiveness and apologize for their sins and crimes against us, no quarter should be given them. Period.
The Left can go straight to Hell for all I care and roast alongside Jimmy Carter and his nuts for all eternity, as they deserve. Maybe then we'll have peace and America can be great again. In the immortal words of John Lennon, "you may say, I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one . . . "
On that hopeful note to keep in mind at the stroke of midnight as we ring in 2025, I want to wish each of you a new year blessed with an abundance of peace, happiness, prosperity and the good health to live your life and see your dreams fulfilled.
