The Morning Briefing: Let's Hear It for the (Red-Blooded American) Boy!

Hola, amigos and amigas! At this point, we're not sure where Kruiser is — the last time any of us saw him, he was hosting a silent retreat at a Bass Pro Shop in Michigan. So, you'll have to settle for me today...

In Wednesday's Morning Briefing, our own Kevin Downey, Jr. talked about AWFLs, the affluent white female liberals who are ruining our country. In an effort to be fair and balanced, I'd like to add that behind every one of them is usually some effeminate, affluent, white, liberal "man" who wishes he could menstruate, watches Property Brothers, and secretly wishes his favorite AWFL would paint his toenails to match hers. 

You can typically find his cojones in a little jar on a shelf next to her "Live, Laugh, Dismantle the Patriarchy" sign. 

Somehow, some of these men have made it into United States leadership. I won't name any names; I'll just throw up a few pictures and videos of this type of specimen for you to examine. 

For some reason, you can often find them up in Minnesota. This one almost became vice president:   

This one seems to wish he were in Somalia. I have a feeling he wouldn't get out alive:   

This one might actually be a lesbian:   

Oops, wait, that's not the United States. I went too far north. 

Some of them are also in California. This one is running for governor:

And this one actually is the governor. (Whoever created this video deserves the Pulitzer Prize for memes.): 

But do you know where you won't find men like this? In the mother-flippin' Donald Trump administration. 

Welcome to 2026, the year of the red-blooded American man. You won't find him organizing drag queen story hours, getting upset because someone called him a "retard," or telling us his pronouns. 

He's too busy capturing dictators. 

He's too busy shutting down the MSM. 

He's too busy training with the Navy Seals while sitting one heartbeat — or one 2028 campaign — away from becoming the most powerful man in the world.

He's too busy putting the "health" back in Health and Human Services. 

He's too busy pushing for the eradication of socialism across an entire hemisphere.

Oops. I went too far south, but bless that man, too.  

My point is that we're just a week into 2026, and these men — real men — of the Trump administration are out there kicking butt and showing the world who's boss, and they're doing so unapologetically. I can't turn away. I've been working every night until well after midnight just because this is such an exciting time to be alive.  

This is exactly what I voted for. After years of lukewarm whatever Joe Biden was, Trump and his men — okay, his women too... to be honest, if I were in danger, I'd call Kristi Noem before I called Tim Walz or Eric Swalwell — are making me believe in my country again. 

God bless the United States of America, and if the remaining 51 weeks of 2026 are anything like this first one, I'm not sure I'll ever sleep. Keep it up, guys. You're giving me and every other non-AWFL woman in this country the vapors.  

The Marco Minute

Did you really think I was going to talk about the men of the Trump administration and leave out the best one? All of my gal pals fawn over Stephen Miller, JD Vance, and Pete Hegseth, but for me, it's Rubio for life. Today alone, he briefed the House and Senate; met with the Saudi foreign minister; withdrew the United States from 66 "wasteful, ineffective, or harmful" international organizations; and worked on buying Greenland, all while running Venezuela and the National Archives.

That's hot. What's even hotter is when he schools a Sunday show info babe on why we must protect our Western Hemisphere. 

Last time I was here, I suggested y'all contact Kruiser and tell him that the "Marco Minute" should become a permanent part of the Morning Briefing. I'm stubborn and not giving up this mission. Email Kruiser and demand it stays... or, at least, send him your contributions to the Mailbag of Magnificence at [email protected]

Kabana TV 

Pretty sure "Kabana TV" isn't a thing, but I spent a lot of time in November and December watching Queen of the South, and I wanted to recommend it — I just haven't had a chance. It's a violent cartel show, so keep that in mind, and speaking of red-blooded American men, ladies, I could recommend it for James Valdez alone. Holy moly.
