This is the Sunday Morning Talk Show Thread Ping List! If you want to be on it, reply to this post or FReepmail me (in case I miss it). If you want to be taken off, simply send me a FReepmail.

From my AI discussion: Across the networks this Sunday, the butcher’s thumb shows up in the way each show arranges its political contrasts and supporting panels.

* CBS Face the Nation CBS is running its classic “institutional reassurance” play: a bipartisan pair on national security and border issues, an expert to stabilize the hour, and an elections‑integrity voice to frame 2026 as a governance‑and‑process story. The Warner promo shows their hand — they’re leaning into a narrative about election interference before the interview even airs. Expect Brennan to build the hour around institutions, not ideological contrast.

* Fox News Sunday, is doing its “mirror balance” routine: one Republican senator, one Democratic senator, then a law‑and‑order segment to anchor the hour. Warner showing up here and on CBS tells you he’s the designated Democratic messenger of the week. The panel is a mix of strategists and reporters, giving the show a more traditional point‑counterpoint structure.

* NBC’s Meet the Press With NBC off the field covering the Olympics, the whole Sunday ecosystem tilts. CBS becomes the de facto institutional center, CNN leans harder into Democratic leadership, and ABC becomes the main “political drama” lane. The absence of MTP always shifts the balance further Left, even though they are Left, but have Republican guests.

* ABC’s This Week ABC is running its familiar “one democrap partisan warrior + one suburban Republican” formula. Schiff signals a legal‑political hour; Lawler gives them a moderate‑district GOP voice who won’t blow up the table. The panel is ideologically mixed but leans toward campaign‑strategy analysis. Expect a lot of 2026‑framing and legal‑narrative shaping.

* CNN’s State of the Union This is the most lopsided lineup of the day: two major Democratic leaders plus a federal administrator, and no panel to broaden the ideological range. With Meet the Press off, CNN is leaning fully into its “governing Democrats” lane. Expect a policy‑heavy hour with little partisan contrast.

* Fox News Channel Sunday Morning Futures Futures is doing its signature blend: economic policy from a cabinet‑level guest, a crossover Democrat in Fetterman, a populist Republican in Tenney, and a law‑enforcement panel to close the hour. This show always builds a coherent through‑line around economy + security, and this week is no exception.

“The Sunday Morning Bray”, by Bray!

Proverbs 21:21 (King James Version)
He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour.

Where is Haaavad, Yale, Columbia, and Stanford on the massacres in Iran? After years of supporting Hamas in Gaza against the Jews as they claimed 60,000 babies murdered by Israel with zero documentation, they know Iran is murdering young Iranians in the streets and not a single sign. Guess they are proving beyond a shadow of a doubt how much they cared about those children in Gaza, it was simply Virtue Grandstanding for the cameras.

Some of the biggest fools on the planet are teaching in the universities. All those coeds with their cute little tablecloths on their heads signaling solidarity with the oppressed people of Gaza are not saying a word about their Islamic overlords. Iran runs Hamas lock stock and barrel, they supply their weapons, leadership, infrastructure, and were the ones starving the Gazans by stealing their food.

Hamas is simply one on their terrorist armies fighting Israel while brainwashing the young Gazans to hate Jews with blind anger from birth. They are not as good at brainwashing as the Ivy League, but they have the next best thing from the Koran. They both will beat Jews to a bloody pulp if they are seen in public or in the halls of academia.

Iran is an Islamic Fundamentalist regime which is based on Communist/Socialist economics. There is no free enterprise since everything is run by the religious leaders in a Communist centralized planning model. The people are slaves to the regime which runs the state with an iron fist. These doe-eyed coeds with their virtuous head scarves would be rounded up in mass by the Royal Guard never to be seen again.

ICE has two casualties tragically killed by two people who decided to assault the agents and it is the crimes of the century with tens of thousands screaming fascists, Nazis, and executioners when the people they were supporting last feigned outrage are stacking bodies like firewood. Where is their screaming and protesting for people halfway around the world dying for a single breath of freedom these coeds take for granted.

They could not care less about those who are actually oppressed since they would have to acknowledge America is truly free and their 1960s cliches are smoke. They would have to admit they were fools to fall for the lies Hamas was telling them and they were screaming and yelling about the innocence of Hamas who were spreading Iranian propaganda across their campii. They would have to look in the mirror to see the willing dupes looking back at them filled with hate and prejudice against people they know nothing about.

If they reflected about Hamas they would have to reflect on ICE and their blind hatred for men trying to keep America from becoming Iran. They would have to take that tablecloth off their eyes to see these men and Trump are trying to protect them from criminals wanting to do to them what the Royal Guard is doing to coeds by the tens of thousands.

The dropping of the cute little scarf they have used as a path to virtue and sainthood is actually the path to Satan and a symbol of their virtual chains of hatred. They would see the demonic cult they belong to which leads to those streets of terror in Iran. The same tactics Iran used to enslave the Gazans are being used on them and they worship the same lies which has enslaved followers since Adam and Eve, you will be like gods/fools.

They are not allowed to mourn or protest the tens of thousands of protesters in Iran since if they do their entire house of cards comes tumbling down. They would have to ask why we build walls to keep people out but Hamas and Iran build them to keep people in and then enslave them?

They would ask why they are outraged two people were accidentally killed yet ignore the tens of thousands who would give anything to trade places living in a horrid existence these Ivy league coeds could not even imagine. Keep those Hamas tablecloths tied over your eyes and ears nice and tight, your master demands it.

Pray for Iran’s Revival

Excellent expose of who and what the big ivy league universities really are. Harvard has been called a huge corporation with a side of colleges attached.

https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2017/10/03/%E2%80%98spy-schools-how-cia-fbi-and-foreign-intelligence-secretly-exploit-america%E2%80%99s

Below from the link

Perhaps the most prestigious institution Daniel Golden examines is Harvard University, probing its cozy relationship with the CIA. (While Harvard has recently come under scrutiny for its relationship with the agency after it withdrew an invitation for Chelsea Manning to be a visiting fellow -- after the agency objected to her appointment -- this book was written before the Manning incident, which occurred in September.)

The university, which has had varying degrees of closeness and coldness with the CIA over the years, currently allows the agency to send officers to the midcareer program at the Kennedy School of Government while continuing to act undercover, with the school's knowledge. When the officers apply -- often with fudged credentials that are part of their CIA cover -- the university doesn't know they're CIA agents, but once they're in, Golden writes, Harvard allows them to tell the university that they're undercover. Their fellow students, however -- often high-profile or soon-to-be-high-profile actors in the world of international diplomacy -- are kept in the dark.

............................

Other rumors are that Harvard is used in a cleanup role for the company doing all kinds of dirty work.In other words Harvard has basically ceased being a school of reknown and is now a corrupt institution for hire from the biggest bidders.

They have over 50 billion bucks backing them as well.

allkinds of fraud outed in California:

https://www.breitbart.com/crime/2026/02/07/feds-find-9-billion-suspected-sba-load-fraud-california/

Feds Find $9 Billion in Suspected SBA Loan Fraud in California The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has suspended more than 111,000 California borrowers and will seek to recoup $8.6 billion in suspected fraudulent aid linked to the Covid pandemic.

Below from the link: Loeffler announces what they found in California:

Today, we announced we have suspended nearly 112,000 borrowers tied to at least $9 billion in suspected fraud.

This staggering number represents the most significant crack-down on those who defrauded pandemic programs, and it illuminates the scale of corruption that the Biden Administration tolerated for years.

As we did in Minnesota, we are actively working with federal law enforcement to identify the criminals who defrauded American taxpayers, hold them to account, and recoup the stolen funds. As we continue our state-by-state work, our message is clear: pandemic-era fraudsters will not get a pass under this Administration.

Here's Kelly with the Boss:

Looks like Cuba is running out of fuel for everything from cars to electricty with blackouts very common. below from the link:

President Trump's pressure campaign on Cuba is gaining serious momentum as the Caribbean island's energy crisis deepens, unleashing rampant fuel shortages and prolonged power blackouts. The government rolled out new conservation measures late Friday to preserve energy, but large parts of the economy are already imploding.

Looking pretty bad in Cuba with most resorts being closed":

I’m sure Mark Warner is on 2 shows to explain why he lied repeatedly about Tulsi Gabbard “hiding” a whistle blower complaint? Or maybe he will finally fes up to being an incompetent imbecile political hack. Oh wait, that’s right, it’s a legacy media show,aka co-conspirator,and Miss go along to get along....perhaps she might ask his favorite color?

Wow,fraud and corruption in Kalyfornyu....go figure. Can you imagine how less of a problem the national debt might be if all of these blue state ripoffs had not happened? And maybe a nice Venn diagram showing exactly when it escalated to this extent? Was it under Billy,GW or the monkey in the meme?(sorry, couldn’t resist)

I follow some Facebook groups for DeSoto and Studebaker car owners and fans, and I think an opening of the Cuban society would lead to a search for spare parts. It could lead to an economic Renaissance on the island.

Networks are under the gun currently for being anything but fair and balanced with many siding with one party alone the dirty dems. They may get called out for it and soon.

......................

Now on Shannon Fox News Sunday more from the Guthrie kidnapping which is a shame. But, how does it get so much TV coverage? Many people are kidnapped every week and few get as much coverage.

Trump may get deals in several issues from Cuba to Iran to Ukraine. Hard to tell which one will come first. Only Pres. Trump can handle so many issues all at once. He's a one in a million for sure.

Mark Warner criminal dem up next. Iran up,Warner complaining that Greenland and Venezuela were the focus instead of Iran.Dems are lost they do nothing to help the country only complain about what Trump does and he does everything!

Warner filibustering hoping his time will be up soon since there is no good news from dems only corruption like in Virginia where they are stealing most all of our seats using gerrymandering.

Meanwhile we wont go nuclear in the senate so we can fight back.

Warner says putin plays Trump he's so pathetic.He wants more nato since they too are corrupt and the dems work well with them.

dems play politics with homeland funding. Warner says ICE needs to be reformed,cameras,masks,roving patrols,he want illegals to vote so he cant afford them to be sent back.

he says ICE is rogue since they want to send illegals back to where they came from.More BS from the criminal dems. warner trying to bring in American public on their desire for illegals to vote,they will lie about anything. Now he does not want federal overreach after four years of:

FEDERAL OVERREACH!!

Now other side up from Tennessee's Bill Haggerty Shannon says we get the blame for shutdown,Haggerty says it's the dirty dems. ICE needs masks since the left is completely overboard throwing everything at ice agents with thousands of interactions between protesters and ice.

All you hear about is two deaths. NRO says iran is stalling in the talks haggerty says the talks have teeth with significant military manuevers plus we already bombed the hell out of iran.

We sold India oil from venezuela a big plus. Russia is making new missiles powered by nukes that can reach us,they are going full blast in weaponry. WSJ says nationalization of elections are a mistake since when the dems get in they will play fast and loose with the law. our side wants fair elections that's all. Haggerty says 80% of Americans want citizens only voting not illegals.
