The Morning Report

The Morning Report — 1/6/23

Good morning, kids. Friday and two years ago today, America as we had known it, or believed it to be was overthrown. I will have more on this horrible anniversary a little later.

For now, I've got to say, the powers that be must really want Kevin McLuntz installed as Speaker. Actually, its not that they want him, per se. It's that they do not want anyone who they perceive as beyond their control or worse, who will actively lead the charge against the American destruction agenda. This entire episode serves to underscore my assertion that the nation as founded is for sure dead, and yet the illusion of so-called "regular order" goes on.

While I am heartened by the 21 holdouts in the House . . .

Rep. Andy Biggs (Ariz.), Rep. Dan Bishop (N.C.), Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.), Rep.-elect Josh Brecheen (Okla.), Rep. Michael Cloud (Texas), Rep.-elect Eli Crane (Ariz.), Rep. Andrew Clyde (Ga.), Rep. Byron Donalds (Fla.), Rep. Matt Gaetz (Fla.), Rep. Bob Good (Va.),Rep. Paul Gosar (Ariz.),Rep. Andy Harris (Md.), Rep.-elect Anna Paulina Luna (Fla.), Rep. Mary Miller (Ill.), Rep. Ralph Norman (S.C.), Rep.-elect Andy Ogles (Tenn.), Rep. Scott Perry (Pa.), Rep. Matt Rosendale (Mont.), Rep. Chip Roy (Texas), Rep.-elect Keith Self (Texas), Rep. Victoria Spartz (Ind.)

. . . I have to say I am a bit irked that there is talk that they are ready to strike a deal with that stooge because of alleged concessions he's willing to make if they agree to put him over the top and give him Pelosi's goofy clown gavel. Nancy's, not Paul's. Somewhere out there in the great beyond, Neville Chamberlain has got to be shaking his head.

Putting aside my aforementioned declaration that what's going on in Congress is all kabuki-bukkake theater at this point, do any of these 21 folks really believe at the very first instant that the quo has to pay off the quid, McCarthy won't laugh in their face and declare "You fucked up! You trusted me!"

And as all this bullshit plays out, we still have scores of innocent Americans who were set up and taken down by the combined FBI/Capitol PD/DOJ false flag operation of January 6th, 2021. I am particularly irked at ~~Louie Gohmert~~ (ugh, I forgot he had retired, so apologies to Go-Go Gohmert - jjs) and Marjorie Taylor Greene who, along with Matt Gaetz, were turned away at a DC jail where said innocent Americans were held as political prisoners. And yet, the former two have voted in favor of Kevin McCarthy, who actually criticized President Trump for helping foment the disturbances that were entirely of the Deep State's making.

While Americans are silenced, their nation and children's futures (and innocence) are stolen from them, and their fellow citizens languish in the Garland Archipelago, Congress engages in this farcical, spurious demonstration of "participatory democracy" without a peep for the actual citizens they claim to be defending.

Read this and weep:

Geri Perna is the aunt of Matthew Perna from Sharpsville, Pennsylvania. She told me that Matt went to the Capitol with a group of friends “thinking he was going to be part of a celebration.” When his face appeared in a public FBI list, Matt turned himself in and was arrested on January 19, 2021. According to the DOJ’s press release, Matt walked into the Capitol, “filmed and chanted with the crowd,” and left after 20 minutes. The same press release reads, “Later, he posted an eight-minute video to his Facebook account in which he stated, among other things, ‘It’s not over, trust me.’”
The DOJ’s counterterrorism division contributed to the prosecution of Matt’s case. After delays to the proceedings, Geri thought in February of this year that Matt’s case was going in a positive direction, “but Matt couldn’t see it. He thought doom and gloom.” His family found out that a terrorism enhancement to his charges would have added five to six years to his sentence. After this development, Geri said that her brother called her and said, “‘Geri, book another plane ticket.’ I said, ‘what’s going on?’ He said, ‘Matt just hung himself in his garage.’” Matt died at the age of 37. After teaching English in South Korea and Thailand, he returned to his hometown to take care of his mother suffering with leukemia. Matt was critical of the pharmaceutical industry; he made a living selling CBD oil online and spent part of his free time researching holistic treatments for his mom’s cancer. . .
. . . Ella Blythe’s son Jonathan Copeland traveled to the Capitol from his trailer park home in Fort Shawnee, Ohio. The FBI’s statement of facts connected to Jonathan’s case makes it clear that he entered the Capitol through an open door, walked around while inside, and was directed by police to exit through a window. He was arrested in a raid on his home in August 2022. While an indictment has not yet been filed in his case, Ella says that “they’re charging him with 25 to 30 years in prison. . . "
. . . Ella Blythe says that she is concerned that a D.C. jury for her son’s case, if one is called, will be biased: “Over 90 percent have voted for Biden…They see on the media, the mainstream media, is already biased. So, we see not a positive end result because there’s no fair trial. There’s no fair trial at all.”

Kevin McCarthy on 1/6/21 – “The violence, destruction, and chaos we saw earlier was unacceptable, undemocratic, and un-American. The President bears responsibility for Wednesday’s attack on Congress by mob rioters.”

Kevin McCarthy on 1/13/21 – "The president bears responsibility for Wednesday's attack on Congress by mob rioters. He should have immediately denounced the mob when he saw what was unfolding. These facts require immediate action by President Trump, accept his share of responsibility, quell the brewing unrest and ensure President-elect Biden is able to successfully begin his term."

Putting aside the issue of Trump's 2024 candidacy, while I agree with those that the events of Election Day 2020 culminating in 1/6/21 should not be the main focus and thrust of his candidacy, those events cannot, should not and must never be forgiven nor forgotten. There is no person in this nation, in and out of politics, who is more innocent of the charges levied against him than Donald J. Trump. He was dead right; they're not necessarily after him, they're after all of us, and he just stood in the way.

UPDATE: Now all that said about Trump, I am particularly incredulous at the fact that he is going to the mattresses to support the man who blamed him for the violence of 1/6. That makes zero sense, but I digress.

And as the circus over Kevin McCarthy continues, real lives continue to be destroyed by truly twisted, malignant tyrants. Once again, an absolute stalwart and national treasure, Julie Kelly:

The newly-appointed head of the FBI’s Washington, D.C. field office warned this week the agency’s work on January 6 cases will continue for “months and years to come.” Attorney General Merrick Garland released a statement to commemorate the second anniversary of the “attack on the Capitol” with a similar sentiment. “Our work is far from over,” Garland said, boasting how the prosecution “continues to move forward at an unprecedented speed and scale.”
And why shouldn’t it? After all, 18 GOP senators voted to pass the $1.7 trillion omnibus bill last month, which included a $3.5 billion raise for the Justice Department, millions of which will be spent on hiring more government lawyers to prosecute January 6 cases. The FBI won a $570 million boost, bringing the bureau’s total annual budget to more than $11 billion.
Nothing like feeding the wolves eating your herd.
Joe Biden continues to fixate on January 6 in an attempt to brand Trump supporters, or any American who does not blindly embrace the Dear Leader, as “insurrectionists” and “terrorists” endangering the safety of the country. To honor the second anniversary of January 6, Biden will make remarks and hand out Presidential Citizens Medals to individuals who gave televised performances before the January 6 select committee.
The family of Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick will receive a posthumous medal for “[losing] his life protecting our representatives.” Biden, who has difficulty telling the truth about the circumstances of his own son’s death, shamelessly perpetuates the falsehood that Sicknick and several other police officers died as a result of January 6. (In his statement, Garland claimed five police officers died.)
Of course, January 6 propagandists have to lie about what happened to justify comparisons to Pearl Harbor, the Oklahoma City bombing, and 9/11. Their hope is to rally support around the new war on terror, one taking direct aim at Americans on the Right. If Trump supporters are truly America’s version of ISIS, as the regime and the news media insist, then no amount of funding is too much and no criminal prosecution is too excessive to defeat the sworn enemy. Any dissent is unpatriotic.

On a somewhat more positive note, some measure of justice has been delivered to an innocent American:

A Loudoun County father, whose arrest at a June 2021 school board meeting was used by the Biden administration to justify a politicized attack on concerned parents, was found not guilty of trespassing on Wednesday.
Law enforcement arrested Jon Tigges at a Loudoun school board meeting on June 22, 2021, after he tried expressing concerns about the school district’s “moral decay.” A Virginia district judge found Tigges guilty in October of 2021. Loudoun Circuit Judge Douglas Fleming Jr., however, cleared Tigges of any wrongdoing.
Fleming determined that Tigges not only had a First Amendment right to attend the heated meeting but also that the superintendent who shut down the official gathering last summer had no right to declare it an “unlawful assembly.”
“My thanks to God for justice,” Tigges wrote on Twitter on Wednesday afternoon. . .
. . . Tigges’ arrest in June of 2021 was used by the National School Boards Association (NSBA), in collusion with the Biden White House, to justify the smearing of concerned parents as “domestic terrorists” who required punishment from federal law enforcement. . .
. . . “Despite this victory, I have serious concerns about where we are as a country. We’ve been subverted by a darkness that is spilling out in rot at all levels and in both political parties,” Tigges tweeted after the decision. “Nothing will change until We the People value conviction over comfort.”

This was not a "riot" nor an "insurrection," real or in the case of 1/6/21 a phony, Junta-concocted sting operation, this was a parent speaking, or attempting to speak at a school board meeting, as is his right to do so. Or was.

What do you suppose Jon Tigges' net worth is? How much does he have left after hiring lawyers and probably (I'm guessing here) being either let go from work or having to take serious time off to defend himself? They can silence you via censorship or silence you permanently with a bullet or with fists and truncheons as they did Ashli Babbitt and Roseanne Boyland. Or they can wear you down to the point where you commit suicide. One less "white supremacist tea-bagger ultra-MAGA scum" to stand in the way of paradise on earth, is the Enemy's calculus.

What happened to Jon Tigges and all the political prisoners still being held TWO YEARS LATER is the message.

Trump was right. They really are after us after all. We now return you to the regularly scheduled meshugas of the next round of votes against Kevin McCarthy.

Have a good weekend.

16 Good morning everyone. Thank you J.J.

Today is the Epiphany of the Lord
Epiphany is one of the oldest Christian feasts and one of the most important. Historically, Epiphany celebrated four things: Jesus' nativity, the Magi's visit to the Holy Family, Jesus' baptism, and Jesus' first miracle at the wedding feast of Cana. Each biblical event is a theophany, or epiphany, a special manifestation of Jesus Christ to mankind. The relationship between these events is beautifully described in this antiphon from the Divine Office: "This day is the Church joined unto the Heavenly Bridegroom, since Christ hath washed away her sins in Jordan; the wise men hasten with gifts to the marriage supper of the King; and they that sit at meat together make merry with water turned into wine. Alleluia." In the Latin Church the visit of the Three Kings is the primary focus of Epiphany, symbolizing the revelation of Jesus Christ as a light for the Gentile nations and the Savior born for the redemption of all mankind. Epiphany is January 6th, traditionally marking the end of the 12 days of Christmas.

If an airline sucks, they go out of business. If a state has shitty road and rail networks, they lose commerce and tax revenue. All a federal DOT does is insulate the people who should be safeguarding the resilliency of transportation networks from their own failures, allowing the failures to become more prevalent. We replace the temporary nuisance of failure with the permanent nuisance of tyrannical and corrupt bureaucracy.

A healthy country, one that prized the stormy seas of liberty over the plaid harbors of despotism, would be celebrating the commotion and debate over the speakership.

There is no risk of getting a reformer or a revolutionary in at Speaker. Zero. If McCarthy fails, there will be another Uniparty drone selected for the job. McCarthy is moderately valuable and replacing him won't be fun, but they can do it and do it fairly easily.

I think the deeper undercurrent in this thing is *us.* The people. The base. The MAGAts. The Deplorables. I think that *we* are why they're behaving the way they are. They will not sacrifice McCarthy to *us.* They'd sacrifice him in a heartbeat to the Democrats, if they wanted him gone. They'd sacrifice him if McConnell or McDaniel/Romney wanted him gone. This isn't about McCarthy, it's about those who are calling for his political destruction.

That dickhead Crenshaw said it directly in his statement where he also said we can't let the terrorists win. "No more scalps." McCarthy's victory is secondary to our defeat.

Force them to cave to your candidate of choice, or take Dem help for McCarthy, or help a Dem into the Speakership. In any of those three outcomes, you publicly humiliate those crooks, and cripple their worthless majority theater routine. If you acquiesce, you just empower them with an appearance of consensus.

No Kevin should be the baseline demand. Claim his scalp, or cripple his Speakership.

The Party will work to destroy them and might be successful in that work. It could be the end of their political careers. That is true, and that will suck for them.

I didn't expect anything prior to the CCP congress, and that was correct.

I would have expected a 2025-2026 timeline for it because of military reasons (China needs more amphibious experience, for example) and after a bit of adventurism in the South China Sea where they could hone their skills. They also need more materiel and while they can produce it, it takes time to build it up. They've been building up for years, but they will still probably need more.

Political reality and the internal conditions on the mainland might force Xi to advance the timeline. He also might leave Taiwan alone for now, at least directly. Interference in sea routes while they invade someone else (Korea comes to mind) is also possible. There are lots of potential options. No war at all is also an option, but I think it's a waning one. It looks a lot like things are going to get exciting in the Far East again.

Baker had been the top lawyer at the FBI when it interfered in the 2016 presidential election. News that he might have been burying evidence of the spy service’s use of a social media company to interfere with the 2020 election, is rightly setting off alarm bells.

There seem to be two camps among the 21 holdouts, the Never McCarthys and those who want significant rule changes that will give individual Reps more say in governance and reverse a lot of the uniparty dominance. Chip Roy seems to be a leader of that faction.

Getting more Freedom Cause people on the Rules Committee and on Committees as well as a return to regular order for spending and other bills isn't nothing and if people are waiting for a MAGA type to get the Speaker's job they are going to be disappointed. The establishment Reps can vote No, too.

Antonio Valdovinos, the owner of the Arizona-based La Machine Consulting, has made his status as a Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipient central to his personal narrative. He boasts of his "undocumented" status on his firm’s website and produced an off-Broadway musical,"¡Americano!," about life as a "Dreamer." Valdovinos’s immigration status could cause a problem for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, which paid his firm, La Machine Consulting, $500,000 to canvas in three battleground states ahead of the 2022 midterm election.

Absolutely. It would benefit the same people who set up the coup. The Epps, the Pelosis, the Bidens, etc. "Violent Trump supporters" can be portrayed to one side, and the actual Trump supporter outside can be riled up for further insurrectiony photographs and arrests.

Watch the video if you'd like. There are some compelling things to observe. The cell phone being kicked away and pocketed is an interesting one, as are the lack of any blood pools until someone pumps the backpack. And the backpack being kept on her as she was carried down the stairs. That's a strange thing to see. But like I said above, the most compelling part is that there was gunfire, and no one flinched. Everyone just continued on as normal.

The entire day was an op. Heck, most of the last few years have been.

The Congressional Study Group (a program for Congressional staff) on Foreign Relations and National Security (brookings edu). Specifically, Session 5, The Insurrection Act and Putting Troops on American Streets.

The author began: "On July 31, 2020, the Congressional Study Group on Foreign Relations and National Security convened online to discuss the president’s authority to deploy the military domestically, including through the Insurrection Act. In the weeks prior to the session, President Donald Trump had deployed both the military, National Guard units, and federal law enforcement personnel in response to popular protest around the country, often over objections by state and local officials."

The study group was joined by outside experts & a handout (reference sheet) on the Insurrection Act & related authorities was available.

339 Democrats paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to a consulting firm operated by an illegal alien, which experts say may have violated campaign finance laws.

Antonio Valdovinos, the owner of the Arizona-based La Machine Consulting, has made his status as a Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipient central to his personal narrative. He boasts of his "undocumented" status on his firm’s website and produced an off-Broadway musical,"¡Americano!," about life as a "Dreamer." Valdovinos’s immigration status could cause a problem for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, which paid his firm, La Machine Consulting, $500,000 to canvas in three battleground states ahead of the 2022 midterm election.

The Federal Election Commission classifies DACA recipients as foreign nationals for the purposes of campaign finance laws, and says that foreign nationals cannot "directly or indirectly" participate in the "decision-making process" of any campaign or political committees’ election-related activities. One veteran campaign finance lawyer tells the Washington Free Beacon the DSCC’s contributions could have violated these laws.

McCarthy either makes it work in the next two years or he doesn't. The fact that one of his prior occupations was a used car dealer doesn't give me great hope. But then again, I've bought used cars.

He succeeds or he doesn't and his entire leadership team takes a hit ( or at least hopefully). This is as much about him "succeeding" as keeping his word. You can't divorce the two.

375 Which, to my understanding, was the rule for most of the history of the House, changed in 2019 by Pelosi to require the now higher threshold. Take that Mr. Constitutional Scholar Mark Levin who I assume doesn't mention this little tidbit when he blasts the 20 holdouts.

Levine can get a bit NAZI at times. Methinks it is his German roots.

Since the clot shot does NOT stop you from getting COVID that argument doesn't help even if it was true.

Basically each time you take the clot shot, best case, is the same as getting COVID.

I hate quiting Hannity. But at what point do you realize you've got 20 convinced and have to convince another 200? The key is to know when you've gotten as much as you can before stabbing yourself.

The fact that much of what has been agreed to should have been done after the first or second vote. It's a battle of diminishing returns. Take the ground, regroup and comeback stronger.

396 The peer-reviewed study in Circulation reviewed 16 adolescents and young adults hospitalized at Massachusetts General Hospital or Boston Children's with post-vaccination myocarditis from January 2021-February 2022. All had "markedly elevated levels of full-length spike protein" in their blood, "unbounded by antibodies."

The Harvard Medical School researchers affiliated with the hospitals did not find free-floating spike in 45 "healthy, asymptomatic, age-matched vaccinated control subjects," despite "essentially indistinguishable" antibody profiling and T-cell responses between the two groups.

403 Who's the legitimate alternative that the 21 holdouts are hoping for? Trump isn't a serious alternative, and they all know it. I'm fine if it isn't McCarthy, but it doesn't look like the patriotic holdouts have an alternative, and that makes it look like they are just playing a game. If they just want concessions, then what do they/we need to get there? The endgame isn't clear at all. At this point, given all the rhetoric, the gang of patriots needs an off-ramp to save face if they are going to capitulate eventually, and I don't know what that is.

404 Love DeSantis and all he has done. However, the establishment is backing him and that makes him suspect to me.

I need to see anti-donor bona fides in him at the national level. Specifically, anti: 'green' energy, EV, ESG, multinational cash, foreign war donors, et al.

If he can prove he is for all forms of American energy independence(which is the root of all problems) it would go a long way to sway me, but I just don't see it.

406 Kevin McCarthy on 1/6/21 – “The violence, destruction, and chaos we saw earlier was unacceptable, undemocratic, and un-American.
------------

Trump on 01/07 - As I have said, the incursion of the US Capitol, struck at the very heart of our Republic. It angered and appalled millions of Americans across the political spectrum. I want to be very clear - I unequivocally condemn the violence that we saw last week. Violence and vandalism have absolutely no place in our country, and no place in our movement. Making America great again has always been about defending the Rule of Law, supporting the men and women of law enforcement, and upholding our nation's most sacred traditions and values. Mob violence goes against everything I believe in and everything our movement stands for.

No true supporter of mine could ever support political violence. No true supporter of mine could ever disrespect law enforcement or our great American flag. No true supporter of mine could ever threaten or harass their fellow Americans. If you do any of these things, you are not supporting our movement.
