The Morning Report - 12/23/21

Good morning, kids. Thursday and in the depths of all the insanity, a little bit of schadenfreude is good for the soul. Not one but two - count 'em two! - leftist fools got mugged by reality. Literally.

Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon (D-PA) was carjacked at gunpoint in Philadelphia and was left unharmed on Wednesday, her office said in a statement.
Philadelphia Police said the incident occurred at 2:45 P.M. EST on the 1900 block of Pattison Avenue in FDR Park following a tour which included fellow Congress members. . .
. . . Scanlon, represents Pennsylvania's 5th Congressional District, which includes a part of Philadelphia.
Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney (D) said of the carjacking: "It's disheartening, and quite frankly infuriating, that criminals feel emboldened to commit such a reckless crime in the middle of the day in what should be a place of tranquility and peace-one of Philadelphia's beautiful parks. My thoughts are with her during what I'm sure is a traumatic time."

It is to laugh. Philadelphia and every other major Democrat-controlled metropolitan area have made it priority number one to abolish police forces and to decriminalize crime itself. And this bloated turd has the temerity to utter a statement like that? Yes, I'm sure his thoughts are with Scanlon but what about the citizens of Philly who have been shot, stabbed, raped looted and pillaged for the past two years? G-d help me for saying this, I have two very dear friends who live in Center City and, bless their hearts, liberal as the day is long, but I have very little sympathy for them since year after miserable year, they vote for schmucks like Jim Kenney, as well as Tom Wolf, Joey Softserve and all the rest, unfailingly, unflinchingly and uncritically.

Okay, I get it; you've been brainwashed into believing Democrat = good and Republican = evil. But for fuck's sake, can you pause just for one moment and turn off your reflexes and engage in critical thinking, employ logic and look at the actual policies that the people you vote for implement? I guess that's asking too much, all things considered. Ironically enough, and even more infuriating, the "marginalized communities" and "communities of color" that supposedly are oppressed and persecuted because of white supremacist policing and the criminal justice system wind up with the highest body counts and casualty rates as a result of embracing the BLM line to defund the police. I doubt very much that Jim Kenney's thoughts are with those folks during what has been a traumatic time. A time that has lasted since we "built back better" in 1965 with the Great Society/War on Poverty.

But wait! There's more!

Illinois Senate Majority Leader Kimberly Lightford (D) and her husband were victims of a carjacking Tuesday evening in suburban Broadview. Law enforcement said that the carjackers sped off the scene in Lightford's vehicle along with the Durango.
Lightford has yet to issue a statement on the matter.

You mean she didn't crib a page from the LoPecia Pressley playbook and blame "white supremacy" for being forced out of her car with a jammie shoved in her face? I have to say that my give-a-shit-ometer is not registering, but my funnybone status is at full tickle. Will Scanlon, Lightford, and every other fool who believes this racialist commie poison ever deprogram themselves long enough to put two and two together in a non-woke math way to arrive at four? Doubtful. For what they and their ilk have done to this nation and the constituents whose only value to them is when they are dead to be used to further sow discord and hatred, there isn't a trauma too severe to haunt their accursed and poisoned souls for all eternity.

And that brings up the point that CBD and I discussed in our latest CJN Speaks! podcast, our traditional, ingrained sympathy, respect and fealty to law enforcement and a criminal justice system that since the coming of Trump (and really many years before that) has been shown to not only be corrupt, but given today's political climate, will follow orders that put our inalienable rights in jeopardy. And that piggybacks with my editorial from yesterday wherein our military leadership is openly threatening a coup should the 2022 and 2024 elections not go the way they want them; that is, maintaining the actual coup that overthrew the 2020 election.

In a recent Washington Post op-ed, three retired generals, Paul Eaton, Antonio Taguba, and Steven Anderson warn of a supposedly impending coup should Donald Trump be elected in 2024.
The column seemed strangely timed to coincide with a storm of recent Democratic talking points that a reelected Trump, or even a Republican sweep of the 2022 midterms, would spell a virtual end of democracy. Ironies abound . . .
. . . The three retired generals say nothing about the Russia collusion hoax in which Obama Administration officials at the Department of Justice, the FBI, and the CIA helped to seed a fake dossier -- paid for by candidate Hillary Clinton's campaign. Ex-British intelligence operative Christopher Steele's made-up opposition research was designed first to derail Trump's campaign, then to disable his transition and finally sabotage his presidency. All that seems rather coup-like.
In truth, coups were regularly discussed during the last four years -- but only in the context of a by-any-means-necessary way of deposing Donald Trump extralegally before his term ran out . . .
. . . The officers published in the Washington Post are clueless as to why the military is now suffering its most dismal public approval ratings of the modern era -- with only 45 percent of the public registering trust and confidence in their armed forces.
The nation is clearly not blaming the courageous soldiers in the enlisted ranks. But it has had enough of the Pentagon's loud top brass who seem more interested in stirring up political divisions at home than adopting winning strategies in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya, or deterring China and Russia.
The officer corps too often broadcasts its woke credentials, calibrated for career advancement. Top-ranking officers upon retirement too predictably head for corporate defense contractor boards and procurement lobbying firms.
To restore the military's reputation, officers should eschew politics to focus on restoring strategic deterrence and military readiness. They should keep clear of divisive domestic issues. They should stop virtue signaling to the media and influential members of Congress.

I truly admire Victor Davis Hanson but that last paragraph is really clueless. Barack Obama may be a jug-eared idiot who Rush Limbaugh of blessed memory rightly described as "the least qualified person in any room he enters," but his purging of the military of actual competent leadership who would obey their oaths to uphold the Constitution and replace them with true believers in Class A drag festooned with fruit salad was brilliant if not evil.

Every bastion of pro-Americanism in our society has been or is well on the way to being thoroughly corrupted. The last and most important one that could have possibly saved us from complete enslavement was the US military. We know where the flag officer corps stands. The question is, whither the rank and file servicemen? When the shit hits the fan - not if - will they too "just follow orders?"

My thoughts are with her during what I'm sure is a traumatic time."

Thinking about this more, it is *really* weird. No one was speculating about this as far as I know. There was a lot of speculation about Binger - what with all the "Flufferboy" stuff - but not about the two of them in a relationship that dares not speak its name.

I can only come up with one even distant analogue for this, and that was Rice's and Obama's "by the book" stuff just before the transition. That was suspicious as hell and backfired because such statements are superfluous if you're honest. This strikes me as similar in that regard. I never even considered that Binger and Fatlock were rogering each other, but now I just assume it to be true.

No. Neither can vibrant America, nor can can anything or anyone in between. "Climate Change" policy all boils down to one word: deindustrialization. That's it, and that's the endpoint of *everything.* You cannot afford to dismantle your entire economy. No one can. It doesn't matter how rich you are, you cannot take all of your wealth, pull it out of investments, pile it up on the lawn, set it on fire and then *still* be wealthy. That doesn't work because it can't. Anti-industrial economic policy cannot result in a thriving industrial economy, regardless of whether its framed as "for climate" or not.

Even suggesting/planning a coup is a complete rejection of our system of government and a absolute violation of their oaths of fidelity to the Constitution.

This is highly dangerous esp. (and you know that there are) if there are active member of the upper ranks who are part of the planning.

In a fair and open election, their job is to salute and say "Yes, sir/ma'am." to any legal order and execute it to the best of their ability. Period.

This is so dangerous to our Republic that a special example needs to be made of these officers and any of their allies.

Let me know when it's Omicron-caused. And then let me know when it's more than an outlier. I am not dismissing deaths or trivializing them.

93 "Climate Change" policy all boils down to one word: deindustrialization. That's it, and that's the endpoint of *everything.* ... Anti-industrial economic policy cannot result in a thriving industrial economy, regardless of whether its framed as "for climate" or not.

Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at December 23, 2021 08:15 AM

The entire world has already been suffering from "climte change" policy over the past 20 years. Those fires in Australia that destroyed so much? Due to "climate change" policy. Numerous wildfires in CA? Due to non-clearing "climate change" policy. The ridiculous CAFE standards where autocompanies are fined ridiculous amounts for not meeting ridiculously unrealistic targets for fuel economy and "greenhouse gas emissions"? Due to "climate change" policy. How much taxpayer money wasted on "green energy" that is inefficient. The list goes on and on and on. Likely trillions of dollars wasted between taxpayer spending and all the fraud, that could have been put to better use (or just not spent at all to get us back to balancing budget).

Yeah, that's the other thing. The Wachowski's are avowed and obvious Marxists, convinced that everyone sees the "system" in their movies as a thin analogy of capitalism (the machines exploit the people by turning them into slaves to power everything like they see capitalists turning the working class into slaves). It's the only way to view "systems" in the real world to them.

They cannot see the systems of control that aren't capitalist vs. the proletariat. They can't see that our culture is a monoculture in effect of leftism that people may rebel against.

And that's not even getting to the incoherence of their whole bevy of ideas when you throw in the transgender stuff, which needs to be affected in real life through medicines that change your body chemistry.

100 Princeton sent a graduate student to Iran to do research. He was arrested and imprisoned for spying. The university did zippo to help him, even though it employs a number of politically well-connected Iranians. Princeton decided not to irritate Iran because they wanted to stay in good graces with the mullahs. Finally, Trump got the guy out of prison and repatriated.

Trump solves every problem, even for minor academics from socialist utopian universities.

Muse's "Simulation Theory" is not an album I like all that much in terms of music. It continues the very noisy, highly electronic themes of their prior album "The Second Law." That said, some of the writing on this album is excellent. One of the songs that reflects this is the track "Thought Contagion," which I think justifies the album in its own right. And it is about precisely this.

I was watching Season 1 of Seinfeld last night and there was a scene in one episode where they joked about one of the characters being "homophobic". And I thought about it in terms of how today we're arguing over the fact that men are being called women (re: ace's post yesterday about the editor of Swimming World Magazine who while seemingly trying to do the right thing, still referred to a man as her/she).

I realized just how successful the left has been over going on 3 decades now of creating BS words (homophobic, Islamophobic) to smear people and also redefining words ("gay 'marriage'", racist, gender). Just left me depressed, realizing that the Left has been doing this for decades and the right has been inept to prevent it.

Exactly.

It's now a grrrl power move to not smile as expected. Again, in 2021, apparently withholding a smile is Stunning and Brave(tm)!

And that is extremely funny because it is fighting the last war (or more precisely, the war before last). The breakdown between the "Everything is capitalist vs. Proletariat and class identity markers are key to everything for implementing our vision" and the "Class identity markers are likely much lower on the list and we need a different wedge to implement our vision" flavors of socialism already happened. It happened after the Great War, when disaffected Marxists rejected the core Marxist tenet of class identity and developed a new system.

That system was fascism. This war was already fought - intellectually, philosophically and literally - in the 20s through the 40s.

127 We lost another friend last night to the China Virus. Fairly young with a family and his entire life ahead of him. He had asthma, which is probably one of the worst issues one can possess with this virus. Not that it matters to anyone but the haters, malcontents and other evil people, but he was vaccinated.

I guess I've grown a little tired of people and especially those posing as "leaders" trying to divide us with anything they can. Particularly this virus, which came from China and was developed with help from Fauci and his evil friends. They should be the target of all our ire, yet instead they've tried to set us against each other as a diversion.

It's tedious they've set brother against brother, sister against sister and neighbor against neighbor. At a time of year when we are reminded that God brought hope into the world through his Son Jesus Christ, for both Jew and Gentile, it is especially troubling to watch those committed to destroying us, all of us, satiating their lust for power, unabated.

Every evil person gets their comeuppance. Always.

RIP brother. You will be missed.

Yes, they absolutely will. I was talking about this the other day. What percentage of the rank and file are the children of illegals, and what will they do when told to go after those "deplorables" who want to "deport their innocent parents and grandparents?" What percentage have never had a father figure in their life, and will likely obey their officers, the only authority figures they've ever known? What percentage have been poisoned by the public education system and filled with socialist tripe and racialist drum-beating since kindergarten? What percentage are there simply to push a tranny or other leftist agenda? The answer to all of these questions is: high. Very high.

163 Days after the most troubling election in Hong Kong since its handover to China, the University of Hong Kong in an unannounced overnight operation removed a sculpture which for two decades has marked the Chinese Communist Partys crushing of pro-democracy protests in Tiananmen Square in 1989.

Same thing happened at UT several years ago getting rid of statues.

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped.

They are uncourageous to the point of pathology. I think they want others to intervene first. They want another lower court to set a trend, or they want the administration to change the order in some way so as to restart the clock. Plus, they also want their Christmas vacations.

But we're not "pro-cop" so much as we're anti-criminal. That shouldn't have to be a thing. Just like rooting against our sworn enemies shouldn't have to be a thing. They should both be automatic but we have a major party who has the opposing view on both counts so we have to waste all this time just fighting for basic sanity.

They have to take it up - the circuits are disagreeing. They haven't taken it before b/c I'm pretty certain it's 4-4-1...and I'm pretty certain the 1 is Barrett. So, the question is will she uphold all viral restrictions under the theory there is no "my body, my choice" Constitutional protection so she can then actually ban abortion nationwide (what liberals don't want) or not? I have a feeling this is why both sides, with 4 votes, never took it - liberals don't want her writing the opinion to uphold the restrictions if she says that (which she would) while conservatives don't want the restrictions upheld...

This is the failing of Conservatism, in one sentence. Conservatives routinely place power and authority over themselves into the hands of others, whom they then praise and laud to a degree far beyond any level appropriate to a society of free, equal citizens.

We should never want a military so powerful as to "save us". If a society is ever to remain free - its citizens have to be both powerful enough and willing enough to save themselves.

This is the opposite side of the coin of Mike Pence fist bumping Nancy Pelosi after the electoral college counting. Our own VP was all chummy with the most hated woman in Congress. AOC wouldn't do that.

It's the mistake of conflating civic institutions, organically developed over generations by a free people, with Civic Institutions, established by charter to concentrate and wield power in the hands of a chosen few.

It's the mistake of eviscerating the Liberalism out of Conservatism. They're not opposing ideologies. They rely on each other at the very core of their beings to exist. Scrape the Conservatism off of Liberalism, and you're left with lunatic Progressivism. Scoop the Liberalism out of Conservatism, and you're left with face-stomping Totalitarianism.

They have to go or their future sugar daddies at Raytheon and Boeing start to bleed like stuck hogs.

The same goes for the FBI and DOJ. Any candidate who does not vow to work to eliminate the former and sack most of the latter and castrate it does not deserve support, either.

And that is never going to happen. Because with the advancement in military technology, weapons, machines, etc over the past 100 years, there is no possible way any population of citizens can defeat a standing army. This is not the era of our Founding Fathers where citizens had the same type of weaponry as militaries. There is no possible way American citizens could revolt in a similar fashion today against the American government unless the majority of people in the military stood down and refused to fight American citizens. Which is why the Left has been indoctrinating the military for decades now to make sure it is full of people who are of like mind with the woke Marxists in leadership.

I'm not talking about the overall strategy here. Schumer is an idiot who managed whatever he was trying to manage terribly. I also don't think AOC's mean girl schtick has anything to do with the fact that inflation is spiraling out of control, immigration imploding, and the left's base being unable to let go of covid to allow Biden a political victory he desperately needs.

It's just the narrow aspect of how our firebrands like Cruz are pretty much bi-polar about how they are both publicly chummy with their colleagues across the aisle while also trying to show themselves to be burn artists on Twitter. That dichotomy creates a certain distrust in the minds of the base that is honestly easily avoided.

I have been drinking skim milk since college, when I switched from 2% to skim to get in shape for first time in my life. I drink it on its own, in oatmeal, in cold cereal, in protein shakes. There are times I've gone through a gallon in only a day.

I remember one time a few years ago I didn't want to go through the hassle of Kroger just to pick up 2 gallons of milk, so I went to Walgreens. Standing in line about to be rung up, some smartass guy paying in front of me turned back to look at the milk I put on the counter and said "Wow, lots of milk there means only one thing... you must eat a lot of cookies!"

This will be unfunny, uncreative, fairly milquetoast and will garner a small audience and poor ratings. The woke folk will disparage it and the official non-woke will hold it up as bold, brave and vital. Virtually no one will actually tune in for it and it will have no effect beyond giving the BBC talking points about how they embrace free speech and diversity of opinion.

It's a basic/base sauce. You can flavor it many ways. It's used as a base for Alfredo sauce. I use it in my lasagna instead of ricotta and mozzarella.
1 stick of butter
1/2 cup flour
4 cups whole milk
S & P
A pinch of nutmeg

Melt butter over medium-high heat. Add flour and whisk until smooth. Cook a minute or so then slowly incorporate the milk while constantly whisking. It with get thick and tight at first but will thin out as you add more milk. Once all the milk is added, add the seasoning and cook until you just start to see bubbles. You should wind up with a thick cream sauce. You can add other flavors or cheese to customize.a clove of pressed garlic and a cup or 2 of fresh grated parmesan will give you Alfredo

It is also a justified and warranted distrust.

The Republican Party is full of talk radio-type bloviators who never do anything substantive. Would Democrats allow supporters like those among the J6 protestors who actually did nothing wrong be held in solitary confinement, tortured and made to engage in public struggle sessions? No. But Lord knows Cruz and Co. will tweet meanly and do nothing substantive to help their supporters who did nothing.
The warnings to smell the glove coming from the Far Left reaches of the MIC/DOJ reflects a warranted confidence.

So you have the perfect juxtaposition of policy.

So they stopped looking for heroes and villains in literature and culture and started looking for them in Current Events.

301 So you have the perfect juxtaposition of policy. The damage wrought by policy in the form of ruination, with that ruination surrounded by the impotent attempt to fix it without addressing the root causes for which the policymakers themselves are responsible. It's odd to see cause and effect on display simultaneously and so clearly.

wow that is really cogently stated

big mural budget here lol

Official outdoor murals are just a different manifestation of the same impulse that drove all those "midnight basketball" and playground construction programs in the projects. This can be summarized as "If the environment is nicer, the problems will go away." This is because the people in charge don't understand - or refuse to acknowledge - that the good environment doesn't cause people to improve. People who improve choose to improve their environments. Yet they also cannot - or will not - acknowledge that their broader policies prevent people from improving by subsidizing their non-improvement to the point that they actually sponsor and drive decay.

So slap another coat of paint on it and build another swingset. Eventually, the environment will condition them into improving. It'll work *this* time. It has to work eventually, right?

At this point, I don't think the federal mandate matters anymore. All Democrat Governors are going to step up and enact their own state mandates. Some already have.
Which will affect everything. Corporations/businesses in those states, sports teams in those states, schools and universities in those states, etc. You'll also need vax passports in those states. So even if one lives in a red state, but does business in a blue state, you'll be forced to abide by the blue state rules.

Related, I read not too long ago that the guy from the white stripes heard that the VFW hall where he'd started out couldn't pay their mortgage and he paid it off for them. I think he tried to do it anonymously but it didn't work out.

Posted by: Huck Follywood at December 23, 2021 09:21 AM (KnvZT)

IIRC, NASA and the European Space Agency cut a deal. A free launch on an ESA Ariane (saving NASA the cost of buying an Atlas V ride) in return for NASA adding some ESA stuff to Webb. NASA, ESA, the Japanese Space Agency, and the Canadian Space Agency make a lot of barter deals, to not have to pay hard money to another country for a hardware and services. lot of stuff. The International Space Station is a complex web of such deals.

The launch site for Ariane-Webb is on the NE coast of South America in French Guiana. ESA's primary launch site is there; nearest town is Kourou. Reason? Close to the Equator. Increases launch mass capability. You get more ooomph from the Earth's rotation for launches heading going east.

452 "The Obama administration withdrew the last of U.S. armor from Europe in October of 2013. NATO works when the U.S. leads, and the absence of U.S. Armor meant that no meaningful NATO ground response to the early 2014 Russian annexation of Crimea."

Good. I'm tired of these European fucks bragging about thir free healthcare and telling us how backwards we are, when our military expenditures are part of the reason that they can afford this free healthcare, and our expenditures on their behalf is why we can't. Europe has been riding our coattails long enough. There's nothing at all wrong with telling Europe that this is their problem, and that they should deal with it.

NATO, as it were, is completely irrelevant. Unless a NATO member is attacked by Russia, it has nothing to do with any of this.

453 All lefty grift is about justifying their control of funding. CDR Salamander has good background examples on the military and university in his last Diversity Thursday posts 12/16 and 12/9 respectively at cdrsalamander.substack.com. It is simply bureaucracies following their imperative of more funding and power, as JJS notes since 1913. He also rightly notes the trend paused under Reagan and Trump but has never stopped, so the real issue in '22 and '24 is how do we shift the electorate to gain political control for more than one election cycle. Only then can you hope to go full Schlichter.
