The Morning Report 8/20/26

Good morning kids. Let’s dive right in, first with someone who is one of the real voices of sanity in the world today, Melanie Phillips.

Over next month’s Labor Day weekend, Michigan Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed is to speak at a conference that will platform a rogue’s gallery of Islamic extremists.

The conference in Detroit is the 63rd annual convention of the Islamic Society of North America, a Muslim Brotherhood affiliate that was an unindicted co-conspirator in the 2007-28 Holy Land terrorism-funding trial.

Other speakers among a plethora of Islamists include Siraj Wahhaj, a former ISNA vice-president who was himself an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

Wahhaj, who has called for the full application of sharia law including amputation, stoning and the execution of gay people, makes no secret of his aim to Islamize America.

He has said: “You don’t get involved in politics because it’s the American thing to do. You get involved in politics because politics are a weapon to use in the cause of Islam.” 

Another scheduled convention participant, Zaid Shakir, has said: “If only Muslims were clever politically, they could take over the United States and replace its constitutional government with a caliphate. If we put a nationwide infrastructure in place and marshaled our resources, we’d take over this country in a very short time.”

. . . Two decades ago, in 2006, I published my best-selling and pioneering book “Londonistan,” which described how the British establishment — politicians, government officials, even security and counter-intelligence officers — were submitting to the steady Islamization of Britain. . . In particular, they refused to acknowledge the threat posed by the Muslim Brotherhood’s strategy of mass immigration and of using the democratic process to infiltrate extremists into political positions. They failed to take seriously the jihadi strategy of demonstrating power to gain power. 

. . . Several states are trying to ban or restrict Sharia law. In Texas, state leaders are opening investigations into Muslim institutions and attempting to block the development of huge Muslim enclaves. But much more needs to be done.

Britain offers the starkest possible warning of the frog being slowly boiled in the Islamist pot. Time is ticking.

Wake up, America.

Well, what’s Green and Red and is for sure not Christmas?!

Here’s that Red part coming at you!

Florida’s Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) Senate candidate Angie Nixon has a history of making outlandish statements throughout her political career, including praising a Marxist cop killer while campaigning in a church, calling for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies to be put back in place, and admitting to taking her children to drag shows, referring to them as “wholesome” entertainment.

This freakazoid is not a one-off. This is boilerplate tame stuff from the heart of the heart of darkness that was, is and always has been the Democrat Party. 

They will embrace any madness at all if they perceive it will help them gain and maintain anything that gets them to their goal of absolute and permanent power.

Several Democratic Socialists of America-backed congressional nominees are traveling to Uruguay this week to join a left-wing international conference aimed at opposing President Donald Trump’s foreign policy in the Western Hemisphere.

New York Assemblywoman Claire Valdez, New York activist Darializa Avila Chevalier, and Pennsylvania state Rep. Chris Rabb — all three DSA members who won Democratic congressional primaries this year — will attend the Pan-American Congress in Montevideo as “special guests” of a congressional delegation led by Reps. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) and Jesús “Chuy” García (D-IL). New Jersey Democratic congressional candidate Adam Hamawy, who is not a DSA member but has embraced many of the same left-wing causes, is also attending.

And so, Red and Green unite… at least until we get to the next big Olympic sporting event, the homosexual roof toss!

It is amazing how the leftists all over the Western world have managed to overlook Islamic teachings on homosexuality. They paid little attention to the homosexuals who are killed and hung on cranes in the middle of Iranian cities. They did not notice how ISIS, both in Syria and In Iraq, routinely threw homosexuals off the top of rooftops. They ignored how homosexuals in the Palestinian territories in Gaza and the West Bank are subject to severe societal discrimination, harassment, arbitrary arrests, and physical abuse or torture by local security forces and militant factions, including Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

And meanwhile back over there in Latin America…

Iranian state media revealed on Tuesday, using it as an opportunity to promote Iran’s war against the United States and demand diplomatic and economic support… In addition to marking 100 years since his birth, 2026 will soon mark the first decade since Fidel Castro’s long-anticipated death in November 2016.

The timing is perfect with all of this, because Iran perhaps if not on the ropes is in serious shape to the point where maybe President Trump’s bluster might actually be accurate insofar as the regime could be at long last facing a real existential crisis. We shall see.

Trump likened the operation to “an ECONOMIC D-DAY” that will require “our Allies to stand with the United States of America to isolate, and defeat, the Iran threat.”

Well then, the question is… Why was this not done weeks ago if not on day One when the first bombs fell? perhaps the war might’ve been over on Day Two, or what am I missing. Oh well.

For sure the reason the Left is going nuts in Latin America is because all of the socialist Communist regimes are tumbling down like so many dominoes… and now at long last perhaps the worst of the worst might be finally set to take a fall, CUBA?!

How glorious would it be should that tropical Commie gulag finally taste freedom after 66 long horrible years? Leftist heads everywhere would explode! No wonder all the DSAniks have gone down to boost the Latin American commies! And the final Commie domino could very well be our very own homegrown commies, right here on our own soil!

Have a good day,
