Good morning kids. Today marks the 80th anniversary of the dropping of the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima, which brought about the end of the Second World War.

Had this bomb and then the one on Nagasaki three days later not been used, there is no doubt in my mind that I and for sure many of you would likely never have been born as our fathers would have likely been shoved into the meat grinder to end all meat grinders. That is invasions of the Japanese home islands and the continued strategic bombing campaign that likely would have resulted in the death of at least a couple million soldiers, marines, airmen and sailors over the ensuing months or even years until the Japanese had been forced to surrender or the nascent political class in DC just unilaterally declared the war over to preserve their political hides. The lives of the average GI being not so much of a concern. Stay tuned for Korea, Vietnam and the GWOT.

Beyond that, despite the couple hundred thousand Japanese lives the atomic bombs took, an invasion and/or blockade of the islands with the continued bombing campaign of LeMay's 20th Air Force to make the rubble bounce, along with the arming of the populace with everything from suicide vests to sharpened sticks to face off against a US invasion force, would have killed millions of Japanese. The atom bombs in the end saved many more lives, Japanese and American, than they cost. This is an inarguable fact.

In any case, though this only comes around once a year, it is a bit irritating to have to repeat it. That said, there are a few other stories of note that seem to be happening on a much more frequent basis that are equally irritating and even more disgusting to me that I have to keep reporting on it. But as a great American once said "Deeze are da conditions dat prevail."

An arsonist attacked an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office in Washington state over the weekend, throwing a rock through a window and lighting a fire on the property. The unidentified arsonist targeted an ICE field office in Yakima, Washington, about 140 miles away from Seattle. Federal agents, the Department of Homeland Security says, managed to escape from the attack unscathed. Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin slammed Democrat politicians for their incendiary rhetoric against ICE agents, accusing them of contributing to the surge in violence against the federal law enforcement force. “Make no mistake, Democrat politicians like Hakeem Jeffries, Mayor Wu of Boston, Tim Walz, and Mayor Bass of Los Angeles are contributing to the surge in assaults of our ICE officers through their repeated vilification and demonization of ICE,” McLaughlin charged. “From comparisons to the modern-day Nazi Gestapo to glorifying rioters, the violent rhetoric of these sanctuary politicians is beyond the pale.”

While rhetoric may light the fuse, sho is behind the supplying of the gasoline, the bottles and the fuses in the first place? Recall that Chlamydia Harris herself and several other key Democrat politicians had funded bail and legal defense of Antifa and BLM rioters during the 2020 Summer of Love Floyd riots-cum-insurrection to destabilize America in the months leading up to the elections.

Along with the Covid lockdowns and evisceration of any semblance of election integrity with mail-in ballots and all the fraud that that allowed on top of the Russian collusion hoax that at long last is being brought into the light for all the world to see.

Meanwhile, as Texas Democrats relax beneath the shade of J.B. Pritzker's gunt, we have this to contend with:

Democrat Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-IL) told a meeting of foreign Latinos in Mexico, “I’m a proud Guatemalan before I’m an American,” and the Department of Homeland Security wants citizens to see her confession of foreign loyalty.

Call me old fashioned, but is this not an open abrogation of one's oath as both an American citizen and as an elected official. Adding insult to injury is the fact that she opened her filthy sewer in Mexico. The DoJ, DHS or whichever agency is appropriate should move to immediately strip her of her citizenship and have her deported back to Guatemala since that is where she wants to be. Not that I'd blame President Bukele in the least if he resisted her repatriation.

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.
