The Morning Report 12/23/25

Posted on by J.J. Sefton

Good morning kids. It’s Christmas eve EVE, and so with that in mind I’m going to try to keep the editorials through the end of the week a bit shorter if at all possible, breaking and/or critical news items deserving of further exploration notwithstanding. 

And away we go. I don’t claim to be an expert on defense issues, but this move on the part of President Trump just makes no sense to me.

President Donald J. Trump has revealed plans for the U.S. Navy to develop a new line of “Trump-class” battleships, starting with the construction of two vessels. The America First leader shared the news from his Mar-a-Lago resort, where he is vacationing over the holidays, joined by War Secretary Pete Hegseth and Navy Secretary John Phelan. Trump described the vessels as components of a new “Golden Fleet,” with ambitions to produce up to 25 such battleships. He stated that these would be the “largest we’ve ever built.”“They will have 100 times the force, the power, and there’s never been anything like these ships,” Trump said. “We envision that these two ships will be the first of a whole new class of battleships that will be produced in the years to come.”The lead vessel in the class will bear the name USS Defiant. This development follows shortly after the Navy abandoned efforts to develop a different, smaller warship due to escalating expenses and extended timelines.

Hey, I ain’t no Alfred Thayer Mahan but in the immortal words of Isoroku Yamamoto via Toshiro Mifune “R-U-F-K-M?! don’t bogart the wasabi, Nagumo!”

Will dressing up like Teddy Roosevelt and running up a White House stairway as if it were San Juan Hill (watch Arsenic & Old Lace), while deploying a great white, er Golden, fleet really deter Xi and the Chi-Coms? Will it help get out the vote 11 months from now? Maybe in Newport News or Pascagoula (assuming they still build ships there?). 

Meanwhile in the all American town of Lawrence, Massachusetts:

Mayor Brian DePena appeared in court on Friday, where he required a translator to participate in proceedings at a Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) Commission proceeding on Friday.

The hearing concerned former Lawrence Police Chief William Castro, a political ally of DePena, who was stripped of his policing credentials following an improper police chase. Castro was accused of driving the wrong way down a city street during the chase and filing a false police report, claiming he was responding to an armed bank robbery when he had actually been responding to someone attempting to cash a bad check . . . DePena testified on Castro’s behalf during the commission proceeding, but it was the mayor’s request to use a translator that drew significant attention. . . DePena is a native of the Dominican Republic and immigrated to New York in the early 1980s before settling in Lawrence in 1989. Over 80 percent of the city’s population is now Hispanic, according to the US Census.  

The mayor of an American town cannot even speak English. Forget illegal immigration, this fool is a Legal Immigrant. both my parents’ families (my father’s side escaping the pogroms of Ukraine at the turn of he last century and my mother’s side barely surviving the death camps of the Nazis,) came here to embrace and become fully American. Initially they barely spoke English but quickly learned enough to find work and support families while instilling the ideals and culture of this ountry on their children. 

That an illiterate unassimilated foreigner was elected to public office by an equally alien electorate in our country is among if not its greatest failings in its history.

Wow, it looks as if the 2020 election was indeed stolen. I’m sure you’re all shocked!!! I know I am.

And Mike Pence and George Conway can go pump each other.

And more “Walzing Muh shill dough” this time up in Maine. Funny how these desert dwellers all wind up living here in states that can get about as cold as the Arctic Circle. 

But best not talk about it because that can be very unhealthy.


And speaking of health, Bernie Sanders is cancer, so all he’s doing here is protecting his own. But you young people go out and pimp socialism as the last best hope for humanity:

Ebenezer Scrooge has nothing on Sen. Bernie Sanders, who is thwarting cancer treatment for kids in a possibly futile attempt to get Congress to pass his priorities.

Last week, the Vermont socialist was the sole vote opposed to fast-tracking legislation that will make it easier for kids with cancer to access treatments and clinical trials and incentivize companies to develop pediatric therapies.

His complaint: the Mikaela Naylon Give Kids a Chance Act, named for a teen cancer patient who died while advocating for its passage, is a pared-down version of a previous package that included other health-care measures as well, including funding for community health centers.

Without those add-ons, he’s withholding support of a bill that was teed up to pass easily — and that even he otherwise supported.
Yet without his vote, it didn’t win unanimous backing, so it’ll now have to make its way through a much more arduous procedural process when Congress reconvenes next year. . .Pray it doesn’t cost the lives of any kids who could’ve benefited. But make no mistake: This is super-villain behavior, as more rational lawmakers pointed out.

Right-wing Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.), who also supports funding community health centers, fumed: “To say that you’re not going to give a chance for children to have a cure for cancer if you don’t get what you want” is “selfish” and “tragic.” Amen to that.


Up yours NY Post for describing Bill Cassidy as “Right Wing,” which by doing that is essentially saying Nazi/fascist/racist etc, ad nauseum One day, if Bernie and Mamdani take over, you can do like they do in England when you have a toothache. Make like Moe howard did to Curly, and tie one end of a string to your rotten tooth and the other to a doorknob.

Dentists refuse to provide free dental care creating a major dentist shortage.

Just wait until we have “Free” healthcare here and free housing, education and food like every other “civilized nation” such as Cuba does as I have seen posted too many times by a bevy of scumbag leftists on Twitter and elsewhere. Yeah, life is such a paradise in Havana and Pyongyang but you insist on staying here in evil and illegitimate America. 

Have a great day!
