The Morning Report 5/13/26

Good morning kids. As we discussed with disgust yesterday, after getting their naked power grab of a gerrymander scheme shot down by the Virginia State Supreme Court, the reaction was surprisingly mellow for the Leftists – move to sack the entire bench, as opposed to the typical Democrat reaction which would be to lynch the Jurists who dared oppose them. All seriousness aside, among the most execrable Leftists around who has done more in service of Anti-Americanism over the course of his miserable existence is one Marc Elias:

As most others of his ilk continue to rub garlic on their bullets, here Elias is with his response:

The party considered all kinds of responses — including a scheme to force the retirement of every sitting justice on the Virginia Supreme Court. That’s a perfectly normal reaction from a political party that claims they respect democratic norms, right?

But they weren’t done.

Marc Elias, the left’s go-to power lawyer for all things election-related, took the rhetoric to a genuinely alarming place. Elias responded to the ruling by invoking language from the Virginia Constitution itself. Not to make a legal argument, but to suggest that the current Virginia government has lost its legitimacy and therefore can and should be abolished.

I assure you that I am not joking.

And no they are NOT joking either, as the past 70-200 years have shown!!!

Have a good day.

• It’s a banner month for Jew-hating propaganda at The New York Times, where libel against the state of Israel is normalized and celebrated. Last week, jaws dropped  everywhere when the so-called Newspaper of Record won a Pulitzer Prize   for the 2025 work of a Gaza-based contributing photographer best known for a picture so misleading, fraudulent, so useful in the quest to ramp-up antisemitism, the paper was forced to issue a correction.

• The report does not prove that inflation is spiraling. One month never proves that. But it does show that the comforting version of the inflation story has taken a serious hit. The best hope is that April was a storm month: war-driven energy prices, seasonal quirks, and shelter noise combining to make the report look worse than the underlying trend. But the Cleveland Fed’s numbers make that hope harder to hold. The whole point of median and trimmed mean CPI is to see through the storm. In April, we got the downpour. May had better bring flowers.

• “The poll finds registered voters closely split in their partisan preference ahead of the midterms, with 45% saying they’d support a Democrat candidate for Congress, 42% a Republican candidate, and 14% neither,” the CNN article said. “Polling on congressional preference this year, including previous CNN surveys, has largely given Democrats the advantage. Voters who aren’t sold on either party’s economic message tend to prefer the Democrats on the generic ballot, the CNN survey finds.”
