The Morning Report 10/23/25

Posted on by J.J. Sefton

Good morning kids. As some of my classmates of a certain background might have phrased it, “Lemme axe you dis. . . Oh the benefits of a public school education (with all due respect to my parents now of blessed memory who were NYC teachers, and truly dedicated to their professions, but I digress.

So, lemme axe you — Is this something?

The Trump administration has agreed to cancel billions of dollars in federal student loan debt for as many as 2.5 million borrowers, following a federal court settlement in the case American Federation of Teachers (AFT) v. U.S. Department of Education. The settlement, filed on October 17, reinstates loan forgiveness provisions tied to income-driven repayment (IDR) programs, including Income-Contingent Repayment (ICR), Pay As You Earn (PAYE), and Income-Based Repayment (IBR). These plans cap monthly payments based on income and household size, and forgive remaining balances after 20 to 25 years of qualifying payments.The agreement comes after the AFT sued the Trump administration in March 2025, claiming it had unlawfully reversed Joe Biden-era loan forgiveness initiatives. According to the lawsuit, the Department of Education, under President Trump, removed IDR enrollment applications from federal websites and directed servicers to stop processing new enrollments and forgiveness applications. The AFT argued that this violated federal law by denying borrowers access to debt relief guaranteed by Congress.“For nearly a decade, the AFT has fought for the rights of student loan borrowers to be freed from the shackles of unjust debt—and today, a huge part of that affordability fight was vindicated,” said AFT President Randi Weingarten in a statement. “Our agreement means that borrowers stuck in limbo can either get immediate relief or finally see a light at the end of the tunnel. And, crucially, they won’t ever get taxed on that relief.

Yes, this was a lawsuit and was wending its way through our highly corrupted judicial system, but shouldn’t President Trump have stuck to his guns? is his settling a sell out. I certainly did not vote for this and as we all were, disgusted in the extreme over having to bail out deadbeats whose education in the main consisted of being indoctrinated by Marxists, perverts, anti-Semites, and heathens intent on dismantling this nation and society and the past 2,000 to 10,000 years of human advancement and development. 

I like that “Freed from the shackles of unjust debt.” If only Weingarten were in fron of me so I can direct my projectile voimitus directly down her filthy pie hole. When little Susie or Johnny or their bastard-producing parents sign on the dotted line for that loan, It’s not the moral equivalent of Luca Brazzi holding a gun to Johnny Fontaine’s manager’s head and Vito Corleone assuring them that either their signature or their brains will be on that paper. 


So far, Linda McMahon’s work as DoE Secretary along with President Trump’s putting the screws to such vipers’ nests of America and Jew-hatred as Harvard have been praiseworthy and long overdue.

But there is still much work to be done, because the Molotov cocktails don’t make themselves nor are lit and hurled at ICE and cops all by themselves. Once again, to quote the great Rogers and Hammerstein, You’ve got to be carefully taught

. . . Education departments in every state are on radical autopilot when they make social studies standards. Americans expect blue states to use their state social studies standards to impose identity politics ideology and action civics (vocational training in progressive activism) on schools and students, strip out factual content, and ignore or slander the history of Western civilization and America, and call it “social studies instruction” — that’s what you get in states such as Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Minnesota. But radical activists embedded in state education departments do the same thing in red states whenever policymakers and citizens aren’t looking. That’s what just happened in Alaska. . . 

The Alaska Social Studies Standards (2024), produced by Alaska’s Department of Education and Early Development, avoided the worst of the blue-state social studies standards’ extreme politicization, unprofessional vocabulary, and ideologically extreme content. That’s because there’s hardly any historical content. The standards’ absences include basic facts of American history, much of how our government works, and our foundational documents of liberty. The standards also introduced substantial new amounts of politicized material.


And while we’re on the subject

48-page report released in September exposes the depth of the nation’s teachers’ unions’ hostility toward all things Jewish. “Breaking Solidarity: How Anti-Semitic Activists Turned Teacher Unions Against Israel,” published by the Defense of Freedom Institute in September, explains how unions have worked to embed anti-Semitism into K–12 education. . .

While the NEA handbook fails to mention the six million Jews who perished in the Holocaust, it manages to criticize Israel and Jews by promoting “Palestinian Nakba Education,” explaining that “the Nakba, meaning catastrophe in Arabic, refers to the forced, violent displacement and dispossession of at least 750,000 Palestinians from their homeland in 1948 during the establishment of the state of Israel.”

Additionally, there was harassment and intimidation of Jews at the NEA Representative Assembly held in July. Jewish educators who spoke out against a resolution that proposed to cut ties with the Anti-Defamation League were shouted down during the proceedings. Just over a week after the assembly’s conclusion, the executive committee of the NEA’s Jewish Affairs Caucus published a chilling letter to NEA President Becky Pringle, reporting that Jewish delegates attending the gathering “were vocally mocked, harassed, and threatened in ways that dishonor our union.”

Wait until they find out that Randi Weingarten is Jewish. Well, she’s more Ish than Jew, but still. 


On a not completely unrelated note given the greatest threat to the stability and continued existence of whatever remnants of he American Republic still remain and function as intended are the combined political thuggery of Democrat politicians and policy, the corruption now systemic and endemic in the unelected unaccountable bureaucracy and our legal/judicial system and the physical thuggery and violence of the aforementioned’s openly violent base —  I give you this item:

“On September 4,” the narrative went on page 10, “a PPB officer reported seeing several older homeless people being coerced into approaching the ICE facility gate.” Interesting. “Coerced” into doing something. As in being ordered to do something against their will?  Well, yes.  The 9th Circuit Court’s recitation of the facts continued: “The instigators told these people that they should create a distraction or simply rattle the gate,” the court noted. And it wasn’t just some crackhead or tweaker telling the story. Indeed, the narrators of this story were the very same Portland Police Bureau officers who have been told not to help ICE keep the peace. The cops were dropping dime on Antifa, using homeless people to … get arrested. . . “[PPB] Officers confirmed this was happening by watching ‘the instigators escorting different [older homeless people] up to the gate,’” the opinion read.  And what were these “older homeless people” supposed to do? Why, they were told to “just come up to the gate and rattle it.”  To accomplish what, exactly?  Well, the feds wanted to know. The opinion continued, “FPS took custody of an elderly man after he asked federal officers” watching the gate, who begged officers to be able to “just come up to the gate and rattle it so the antifa instigators would leave him and others alone.” 

This revolting story reminds of something an uncle of mine, now of blessed memory, told me of his experience at the hands of the Nazis and later among the Ukrainian partisans. When they learned he was a Jew fleeing Nazi captivity, they dragooned him into being a mine detector. No, they did not issue him with electronic gear but they gave him a long stick and ordered him at gunpoint to walk in front of their column on the road and start poking at the ground. If he blew up, as was the fate of many of his compatriots, then “mine detected.”

And yet it’s President Trump and all of us who support him that are the Nazis, fascists and racists.

Antifa: so anti-fascist that they are surprisingly (not) expert and eager utilizers of fascistic tactics across the spectrum.

If we do not completely dismantle and reconstruct the brainwashing mills of Pre-K through Post-Graduate into bastions of real learning as well as high temples of Western andJudeo/Christian morals and ethics, then we have no hope. 

How we are to do that without employing the most dare I say it “radical” of solutions, is the question. But what must be done, must be done, and yesterday!!!

Have a good day!
