The Morning Report

The Morning Report — 12/7/22

Good morning, kids. To paraphrase America's sweetheart, Ilhan "Bro-Fo"/Nur/Burqawitz/Ikeelyou" Omar, 81 years ago today, some people did some things in Hawaii. If anyone of a generation younger than that of Baby Boomer understands the meaning of the phrase "Remember Pearl Harbor," it would be a miracle. Unless of course they were taught in school that we deserved it. I don't have my dog-eared copy of Ibram X. Krement's Jive Kampf handy to confirm that, but I'm sure it's in there, under "battleship privilege."

In any case, is anyone really surprised by the outcome in Georgia? I suppose I can be positive insofar as the nation has devolved only to the point where the regime needs to rig an election just enough so that its preferred candidate can overcome a vote deficit to appear to eke out the win. We're not at the point where only one party involved in the race and the preferred candidate gets 99% of the vote with nearly 100% voter turnout. Not yet anyway, so be of good cheer. In all seriousness, the alarming thing here, of course is that the enemy has enough of a following that it is able to engineer these "victories" in the first place, and that speaks to a whole other level of societal dissolution hinted at in my snark about Pearl Harbor, which cannot be solved overnight, if it will be solved at all.

On our post-election post-mortem podcast episode, friend, colleague and election/polling guru extraordinaire Dave in Fla urged us not to be dispirited as that is a key weapon that the enemy uses to suppress us. I'm not dispirited so much as I am enraged. More than that, I'm frustrated since every avenue open to me as an individual and citizen has now been closed. In any case, considering that we are ruled by what is an unconstitutional, unelected, titanic bureaucracy that issues decrees that have the force of law, what real purpose do elections serve, other than to preserve an illusion of a two-party system, the will of the people, regular order, etc. etc.?

If the system itself has been so corrupted as to make ballot harvesting, ballot dumping, mass unverified mail-in voting, no ID requirement and so on legal, at least to the extent that when actual fraud occurs that it goes unpunished, then we no longer have a nation of laws but of men, as our Founders had warned and tried as best they could to prevent. It's corruption from top to bottom. Here are just two examples of how, even if Walker did manage the win, along with all the other candidates that should have given us 54-55 Senate seats and upwards of 520 in the House or more, it wouldn't really have made a difference. First . . .

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) held a private event Thursday with a panelist that pushed to abolish the agency, along with others against immigration detention that strongly criticized immigration enforcement during the meeting, according to an internal document and a source with knowledge of what occurred in the meeting who spoke with the Daily Caller News Foundation.
ICE used the event “to share ideas and inform future concepts” on the “Alternatives to Detention” program, which the agency implemented in 2004 to monitor illegal immigrants released into the country with trackers like ankle bracelets and cell phones as they await court proceedings. During the discussion, the activists criticized the monitoring of illegal immigrants, the source with knowledge, who was not authorized to speak publicly, told the DCNF. . .
. . . The Biden [junta] is increasingly aligning itself with anti-ICE groups, Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), a conservative immigration reform group, Communications and Government Relations Director RJ Hauman told the DCNF.
“At this point it is not surprising that ICE would have someone like this influencing policy — the current administration is trying to abolish it from within. The end goal for them isn’t only pivoting away from traditional detention and a handful of effective alternatives, but to release illegal aliens without any tracking or monitoring at all,” Hauman said.

So, the agency tasked with protecting our borders, national sovereignty and indeed the citizenry from a mass criminal invasion (the invasion itself as a criminal act, if not an act of war, not necessarily but for sure actual criminals among the migrant hordes) has taken it upon itself to de facto abolish itself. For sure, this is approved by if not initiated at the highest levels of the executive branch of our government. Oval Office or Kalorama; either/or at this point. Would this be happening if Trump let alone any other Republican were president? Let us assume that either of those actually is allowed to win the 2024 election and that they institute any sane, rational and no doubt wildly popular directives to seal the border, cut off money for illegals both here and just across the Rio Grande and, orgasmic dream, ramp up mass deportations of everyone here illegally. Do you think that anyone in that agency would do as ordered or would there be mass insubordination?

Now, in another part of the swamp, we have this madness:

If you put money into a 401(k), beware. Until now, the law always required fund managers entrusted with your savings to invest the money where it’s expected to get the top profit for you. Period. But late last month, Biden’s Labor Department announced a rule change that goes into effect at the end of January. It will allow fund managers to invest your money in the stocks of companies that favor left-wing policies, even if they earn a lower return.
It’s legalized theft. The future earnings on your retirement nest egg are being sacrificed to advance a woke agenda.
A lower return means you’ll have to work more years before retiring or start putting more into your 401(k) — or settle for a lesser standard of living in the final years of your life.
Biden’s rule paves the way for your 401(k) savings to be put into what are called ESG funds. But you can stop it from happening if you’re vigilant.
Biden’s doing an end run around democracy, trying to change corporate America without having to pass laws in Congress. Companies need investment capital. The more 401(k) money is controlled by ESG funds, the more pressure can be put on companies to adopt the ESG agenda — climate change, diversity and unionization — whether they like it or not. Biden’s buddies on Wall Street will do the financial arm-twisting.
Democrats invented ballot harvesting. Now they’re on to 401(k) harvesting.

Betsy McCaughey just nailed it right there. But there's a hell of a lot more to it than just propping up scams and schemes that would never in a billion years have a chance of success, legislatively or in the free market. The theft of your retirement money and effectively putting the regime in control of it will, "put y'all back in chains!" as it were. Well, not "back" since you weren't in them in the first place. And that's the problem, at least in their eyes. Social Security is all but bankrupt. 401(k)s represent the ability of individual citizens to control their own financial security via the free enterprise system. It's proven wildly popular, profitable and, here's something for you Lefty assholes out there, "sustainable!" Incredibly so. Social Security? If you want to be charitable, you could call it a Ponzi scheme but that would be an insult to Charles Ponzi. At least the money he made wasn't necessarily "lost."

On another front, and for the moment positive news, this attempt to prop up government censorship via this JCPA garbage has been derailed. Psaki-psircling back for a moment, newspapers and other traditional media outlets were going the way of the dodo not only because of the rise of the internet as an alternate carrier of news and information, but as the outlet for messages and news that went around the filter of government approved/culturally approved censors and arbiters of the narrative.

Why do you think they want to destroy Elon Musk and Twitter? It's all about control. So, does what happened in Georgia at the end of the day really make a difference? If it gets us to a point where we take to the streets and Atlas shrugs, then I'm down for the struggle.

UPDATE: I wanted to state something but it took commenter Lady In Black to jar it loose via this exchange:

Did anybody here seriously spend one moment thinking Walker had a chance? I'm done with that game. It can't be won anymore. I simply have lost all caring and hoping for an America that is dead and not coming back. The left is "winning" at every turn. I find no reason to believe it will change. I can thank the GOP in part for the end of America. We have no savior that is coming that can overcome their treachery, cheating, lies and totalitarianism. Harsh truth.

My response:

You have just reached the first plateau my dear. The sooner we free our minds from these illusions the better prepared we'll be for the battle ahead.
More and more people no longer trust government, the media and now elections. It is going to reach critical mass, especially when, not if, the entire economy crashes.

And that's really a good thing, or at least a necessary thing, despite what we are going to have to endure to at least have a chance to come out the other end with a shot at national renewal.

The danger in reducing the Republicans’ lackluster performance in 2022 to “Trump candidates” is that it gives GOP leadership a chance to wriggle off of the hook.

18 It’s legalized theft. The future earnings on your retirement nest egg are being sacrificed to advance a woke agenda.

I always figured they'd do it with a bait and switch tactic - like trading you one for one with some kind of government issued certificate that would only be worth whatever they said it was worth, if and when they allowed you to actually cash it in.

This is more subtle, and surprising. Because they typically don't do subtle all that well.

For reducing his taxes, the "jury" (which has no idea what the charge means) somehow convicted his employer, the Trump Organization. No one suggested any tax wrong-doing by Trump or Trump executives, other than this one man.

The penalty is apparently going to be a fine, ranging from zero to $1.6 million.

94 The ESG stuff is really a great example of the insane treachery of our government. Corporate strength is determined based on fairly hard measures - what are your revenues, what are your expenses, what is your final profit, what is your blended interest rate, what is your asset value, etc. ESG is none of that. ESG is easily manipulated. It's a synthetic value derived from other synthetic values - and it has nothing to do with business health or profitability.

But now it will be considered along with real measures for fund managers to spend your money on companies. I *almost* want it to happen, because a future change would be catastrophic. The fund managers move tons of customer money into ESG bullshit, then the next president eliminates the rule and suddenly all that money has to get pulled out, crashing the entire ESG sector.

Except that would never happen, which is why it's only "almost."

102 Pennsylvania is not a bad state. Philadelphia makes it a bad state. If there was some way to separate that city into the Delaware River we'd be a glow-in-the-dark red state. The answer? I have not a clue.

I've only got too partial answers. Direct elections of Senators was a terrible damn idea. Needs to go back to the State assemblies. Frankly, I despise direct elections of Presidents. Have the House and Senate open vote the shit, and call it a day.

Doesn't solve the problem of a city like Chicago or Philly or Seattle enforcing their will on an entire state - and I have no idea how to even get my meager proposals implemented. Meh - you get the advice you pay for.

Not completely sure, but here in the US can anyone even tell if donated blood is "infused" with mRNA or whatever from a vaccinated person?

For example, you need an operation and maybe blood, it's donated (unless you donate your own) but is it identified as coming from someone vaccinated or not?

109 @32 Lady in Black-Do not blame the GOP. They’re elected. Waiting for a “savior” is pure folly. Want to place blame? Go ahead point the finger at me, everyone else at this blog then go look in the mirror. The left has blazed a trail that we’ve stood idly by and watched. We also stood by and watched impotent politicians we elected on promises to pushback do nothing. We have NEVER vetted our candidates properly. Always a rush to hop on board the hype train of someone we think will be “the one”. We have let the left run rampant with protests and actions in the street and we’ve provided no response. Not talking violence I’m talking be visible, providing a presence and a counterpoint in the streets in peaceful assembly/protest. We do nothing to shake up the politicians on our side or the other through the tactics of protest. Not bashing anyone, but it’s our own damn fault.

We have a similar situation in Michigan. Most of the state is red, but the large cities drag us blue. The unfortunate reality is that a separation is impossible. In Michigan, in the cities, there are frequent protests saying " water is a right and should be free", protests about needing assistance for heat and food, and protests about being unable to pay taxes. In short, without the red rural population, the state could not afford the cities!

"Booker said, “Well, you know, I think my biggest concern is we’ve had a constructive Democrat Congress. A lot of the things wave gotten done, we’ve rammed through. So I’m really worried about the House of Representatives and listening closely to what they say, what they’re talking about is not their idea to deal with Democrat issues. I’m worried their focus is much more attacking President Biden, going after his son, and doing crazy hearings that are not going to be productive and constructive to what Democrats really need right now.”

168 Yeah, it's amazing. I'm in SC too and just looked at the SC Health Dept's website dashboard on vaccine figures. The % of all residents eligible that have had 1 shot is just shy of 70%. That drops 10% when the figures show "completed" vax series, not including boosters.

I'm not sure the numbers being touted are accurate.

Boston elected some lunatic mayor who put on clot shot mandates for going to restaurants. MA claimed 90% of the people in Boston were clot-shotted and 80% in the state overall.

Within a couple of weeks the lunatic rolled back her mandate because the restaurant businesses told her they weren't going to survive. Really? With only 10% of the customers banned? In a couple of weeks?

170 Looking back, the events at Pearl Harbor were maybe the least bad thing that happened. Kimmel receives warning of the attack. The fleet sorties. They lack adequate air cover. The same ships are sunk, but now irrecoverably in deep water with an even greater loss of life.

Don't think they lose as many ships in deep water. Those ships were at their most defenseless - moored at harbor.

171 Looking at the voting map in Georgia, you can see the effect of years of people moving from liberal states to the Atlanta area. Much like Philly can overwhelm the rest of PA, the ATL area can now overwhelm the rest of GA in votes. That said, Kemp managed to win decisively. That means Republicans can win statewide, but they cannot be the same type of candidate that you can run in a traditionally Red state.

Over 40 GOP House members retired in 2018, IIRC, simply to deny Trump a majority. Never underestimate the GOPs willingness to lose a majority, if that's what it takes to maintain control of their party.

Folks still refuse to believe it, and I can't prove it - but to me, the circumstantial evidence time and again is crystal clear. The GOPs Establishments first priority is to maintain their control of the party. Second is advancing the UniParty agenda - mostly because that's how they keep control of the party. Winning elections is a distant third - except for those seats occupied by the Establishment.

None. There. That was easy. Ships on the bottom tend to be beneficial, which is why they semi-routinely scuttle them in specific places to make artificial reefs. Any ecological damage happens during the sinking, when all those delicious hydrocarbons flood out into the sea.

Which should give people pause about oil spills in warm water. They aren't great by any means, but they're not some unrecoverable disaster. The amount of oil spilled into the oceans and seas during WWII is astonishing. Oilers were major naval targets and dumped lots of oil into the water, as did every ship sinking.

Posted by: Ordinary American at December 07, 2022 08:44 AM (H8QX8)

221 Been thinking about the problems we face in elections, getting people we want elected. I'm purposely not discussing other options like revolution.

The problem is money. You need it to win. Ballot harvesting, operations, and advertising require a lot of money, even if you have competent people working for you.

Democrats have lots of wealthy people donating into a dispersed, yet effective network. Republicans have some deep pocketed individuals who want things the base doesn't want, hence the inevitable sellout after every election.

What is needed is a way for small dollar Republican base to donate to candidates they want and make sure competent people are working the campaigns. The consultants that only run ineffective TV ads where they can pocket half the money need to be cut out of the system.

Until Walker can match Warnock (or Masters can match Kelly) dollar for dollar in campaign effective spending, there is no way that WE can win.

Until then we are either going to get Democrats or establishment Republicans.

GETTR outlines how the Brazilian military took over the 'ballots' in Brazil after the recent Presidential election. The military discovered that in most cases voting machines switched votes from Bolsannaro to CCP Stooge Lula.
Bolsannaro was proven to have won because the military did an independent, honest count

The left drains the treasury. Then it cycles some of that money back into their election warchests.

If we had an opposition party they'd so the same.

Imagine, for example, if the GOP was offering 200K for anyone injured by the clot shot. How much of that would then be donated back to them for elections by people who now have a CONCRETE reason to vote for them?

Even if they can (I have no idea) the feds are still in control of the dole to the states. There is a huge amount of $$$$ that is sent to the states. Road $, School $, Welfare $, etc., etc., etc. It would be very difficult for any state to make it without the graft that the feds send. In essence, they've bought off the states too.

It's agenda-pushing, at all times. The best example of this was the 2006 winner.

In 2006, the Democrats swept the Congress, and do so pretty comfortably. In the euphoria of the Democrat win, the entire press complex had a field day of celebration. Time Magazine participated in that when they chose the "Person of the Year." That year, the cover contained a reflective rectangle that acted as a poor mirror, because they person of the year was YOU. You, the loyal mainstream press consumer, delivered the Congress to the Party of Righteousness and thus YOU are the real MVP!

I've been tempted to put "Time Magazine's 2006 "Person of the Year" winner" on my resume, just to see if anyone's actually reading the damn thing.

We can win with a non-GOPe candidate...that candidate just can't be Trump, just like it can't be Palin - too much baggage for R LIV voters and too much rallying for D LIV voters...we need all R voters, so we can't give that huge section away...

It's not fair they have the baggage, but they do...

322 Moran's PJMedia article is a lot of biased nonsense posing as journalism.

Rainey saying that she "knew why" wasn't careless or misleading, since she believed it was divine intervention. Good for her. She stated her belief. She has every right to do so.

If the local LEO's felt they needed to investigate that, when it could have been cleared up with a phone call, that's on them. Stupid requires more work than smart.

My guess? The perps will never be found. It doesn't take a lot of sophistication to do what they did. It was likely just some local bored hooligans who wanted to see what happened.

Welcome to the fragile high tech world we all live in.

326 I'm reading through the Weinstein trial and it is...astounding.

Siebel Newsom is claiming it wasn't the casting couch - he flat out raped her. But after whatever happened he asked her if she wanted help with a role and...she sent him an audition tape. And...didn't get the role.

Did it become rape when she didn't get her the role? If it was rape before then...why was she still talking with him?

327 One question that needs to be sorted out is does Trump help us or hurt us? I'm not beholden to him as much as I am the MAGA agenda. But at the same time I'd rather lose than have the McConnell's win.

My personal opinion remains that 2024 is a lost cause. Might as well let Trump take the bullets and see if he can wreck the GOPe on the way down.

The beauty of this is, while the Constitution states that a new state can be created out of an existing state, with the permission of that state, the 37 western counties of Virginia did not have the consent of the state when West Virginia was formed, yet the SC okay'd it.

345 The most ironic thing about election spending is the massive amount of money the GOP shovels to the MSM and social media platforms that hate us. For the last month of the campaign there was no escape for me from Ron Johnson and Tim Michels ads on YouTube and the radio.

But, he can't win if he can't get the nomination.

376 Ronna McDaniel is a mediocrity at a time when we need fighting generals.

But Lee Zeldin is also no solution and I think vastly overrated. Because he almost won the media's saying: "Wow what a great campaign he ran to come so close in Bluest of Blue New York!" The real lesson is that Kathy Hochul was an incredibly weak candidate, who also ran an idiotic campaign and relied 100% on entrenched cronies and the Democrat machine. New York, once a 50-50 kind of state now certainly leans left but (overall/statewide) can be swung based on the quality of the candidate and issues of the day.

Zeldin has the charisma of wet toast and ran almost exclusively on "corrupt Kathy!" (in terms of media campaign). The real lesson is that an actually talented candidate (unlike Zeldin) with a more America-first oriented GOP state organization (which we don't have, but could build) would almost certainly have beaten Hochul. I like and respect Zeldin as a person and he made a game effort; but he's not the future of anything IMO.

377 Georgia has about 10 million people. Atlanta has about half a million. Pennsylvania has about 13 million people. Philly has about 1.5 million.

5-10% of the population can only drown out the rest of the state when the margin in the rest of the state was less than 5-10% to begin with. Which isn't exactly a crushing electoral mandate. The problem isn't demographics. Maybe the left wins, maybe they don't. The problem is we don't actually know who is voting for whom because the farcical stage dramas that elections have devolved into are simply not elections anymore. They're managed and produced reality TV shows. Politicking With The Stars.

||An estimated 50 men and women are alleged to have been part of the group, said to have plotted to overthrow the republic and replace it with a new state modelled on the Germany of 1871 – an empire called the Second Reich.

“We don’t yet have a name for this group,” said a spokeswoman for the federal prosecutor’s office. The interior minister said it was apparently made up of an organisation “council” and a military arm.

Wednesday’s dawn raids are being described as one of the biggest anti-extremism operations in modern German history. Three thousand officers took part in 150 operations in 11 of Germany’s 16 states, with two people arrested in Austria and Italy.

Almost half of arrests took place in southern states of Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria.||

398 IMO, the best argument for Youngkin was DaveInFla's post yesterday on the electoral expectations for a GOP candidate, if anyone still cares about a GOP President.

They start with a realistic expectation for 230 votes. Virginia is one of the few states available that a candidate absolutely needs to win, and Youngkin has shown he can win it. Georgia is another such state, I think, and Kemp's success shows a GOPe guy can win there. Nevada becomes the focus after that.

So it is possible to win in 2024, just not super-likely.

400 Elvis Presley helped make the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor a reality in the 1960s. Presley performed at a benefit concert that raised more than $54,000 for the memorial fund on March 25, 1961. He also made a separate donation.

401 There's no evidence of that. DeSantis barely won FL the first time, and only won decisively the second time because he had four years to clean up voting in the state, and he was facing a non-entity in Charlie Crist.

Inaccurate, to say the least. DeSantis won easily because he has done a great job as governor. He didn’t gain 18 points from 2018 due to cleaning up the voter roles. 2018 was a tough year for Republicans to win, even in Florida. Rick Scott won by less than DeSantis did.

402 We're not at the point where only one party involved in the race and the preferred candidate gets 99% of the vote with nearly 100% voter turnout.

.....except in Dane County, WI. where they showed 90% turnout voting for Guess Which Communists.....

403 Glad you mentioned Pearl Harbor. No news media has mentioned it thus far.

404 Team Biden’s 401(k) Heist Could Raid Your Retirement for a Woke Agenda

Oh, stop. It's not could, it's will. We're already paying the freight for EVERYTHING (civil service, 'probationers,' public schools, prisons, daycare, union pensions, obamacare, wic, housing, transportion, security...) and they're now determined to 'take back' as much as possible from the common U.S. citizen to keep it all going.

What was 2008, 2009? There's a playbook & redistribution, to save their asses & maintain their estates, is a thing.
