The Morning Report — 12/20/23

Good morning, kids. Like so many other editorials over the past three years, the lead story no longer shocks me but the effect on my blood pressure and my intestines is unmistakable. With literally zero evidence and zero legal precedent, and as is typical of Democrat hacks-in-black, using voodoo, interpreting a bad mescaline trip, reading burnt goat entrails, and good old fashioned pulling it out of their ass, the Colorado State Supreme Court overturns a lower court's correct decision and has banned Donald Trump from the GOP Primary ballot. The 4-3 decision, though, has been paused for appeal at SCOTUS. How kind of them. On a purely political level, it's kind of telling that despite all the bloviation and bluster that Donald Trump has had it, they still feel they have to do whatever they can to sabotage him and keep him off the ballot.

As of this moment, he's going to be the nominee, the attempts to imprison him on equally spurious grounds notwithstanding. As an aside, one has to wonder if, and it's a big "if," SCOTUS does overrule this decision that that will be an indicator that SCOTUS will throw out the attempt to strip Trump of his presidential immunity from prosecution. Now you can understand the Sheldon Whorehouse and Dick "James Hodgkinson-affiliated" Durbin's attempt to oust Justices Alito and Thomas going into overdrive. I can't even imagine the pressure on Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Coney-Island; Roberts is a scumbag and I'll just assume the worst about him right now.

That said, Trump's removal from the CO primary ballot is meant to bolster the titanic lie that he attempted to overthrow the government and reverse the 2020 election – one that no doubt was stolen from him and us – by force. Can't let anything explode one of the most important Leftist myths ever, can they? And with that intact, it makes all of these attempts to use the courts to sabotage and destroy his campaign look legitimate in the eyes of the ill-informed. And sadly that is a sizable percentage of the population.

Be that as it may, like every other assault on our heritage, culture, history as well as the barest of bare minimums of morality and ethics that everyone should possess, this one is painful in the extreme.

“They had to adopt the most sweeping interpretation on every single issue. The only opinion that’s not sweeping is when they get to the First Amendment and free speech, then they adopt a narrow interpretation,” [George Washington University law professor Jonathan] Turley said. “They suggest Trump doesn’t have free speech protections. In order to establish he was engaged in an insurrection, they go back to speeches in 2016, and they basically daisy chain these speeches to say, ‘look he’s been at this for a long time.’ I think the factual and legal basis of this opinion is really so porous that the Supreme Court will make fast work of it.”
“They’ve got to get involved first of all because there’s not much time to make a final decision and also have to get involved because this is dead wrong,” Turley added. “I think they are dead wrong on the law. I just published a piece in Georgetown for this theory. I think it’s fundamentally flawed, both in terms of the language of the Constitution and the history.”
. . . “They had to adopt the most sweeping interpretation on every single issue. The only opinion that’s not sweeping is when they get to the First Amendment and free speech, then they adopt a narrow interpretation,” Turley said. “They suggest Trump doesn’t have free speech protections. In order to establish he was engaged in an insurrection, they go back to speeches in 2016, and they basically daisy chain these speeches to say, ‘look he’s been at this for a long time.’ I think the factual and legal basis of this opinion is really so porous that the Supreme Court will make fast work of it.”
. . . “This country needs some healing, and what the Colorado Supreme Court did is they basically took a blow at democracy in the name of democracy as you mentioned,” Turley told McEnany. “We never needed the democratic process more. We need voters to be able to make a decision.”

For the umpteenth-bazillionth time, on January 6th, 2021 at his rally that was about a mile away from the Capitol, at no time did Donald Trump ever exhort the crowd to violently storm Congress, or overthrow the government or in any other way, shape or form in any real meaning of the word "insurrection" call for one. I defy anyone to provide me with an accurate, unabridged/edited transcript of his remarks that shows otherwise.

In point of fact, what was going on at the Capitol started way before Trump even started speaking. And we all know what went on: a false flag op run by the DOJ and Nancy Pelosi's Capitol PD to frame innocent, duped people as "insurrectionists" and "terrorists" that "threatened our precious democracy" (vomit). Not one of them was armed. Not one of them engaged in any violent behavior. All were under the control and supervision of police and security guards and more or less behaved accordingly. As now has been verified, it was several dozen or even scores of agents-provocateur acting on orders from or even undercover agents of the DOJ/FBI/police who engaged in violent behavior or egged it on. Ray Epps, BLM leader Sullivan, anyone? The only people who died were unarmed rally-goers Ashli Babbitt, gunned down by Michael Byrd and Roseanne Boyland who was beaten to death by DOJ goons.

The CO Supreme Court, along with all of the kangaroo court abominations are alleging, have ZERO basis in fact. What they are prosecuting Trump for is solely having the gall to believe he could exercise his First Amendment rights. Just like Al Gore, John Kerry and Hillary Clinton did. And all of them, especially Clinton, did indeed encourage electors to break the law and sabotage the Electoral College.

And ditto all of the kangaroo court trials that destroyed the lives of several hundred innocent people, many of whom are still languishing behind bars in the Garland Archipelago. Meanwhile, criminals run wild in our streets and millions of foreigners who have no right to be here are rushing our border unimpeded and unpunished.

I have my reservations about Donald Trump as I know many of you as well for some of his ill-advised and in some cases catastrophic decisions that helped the globalists fuck him up and greased the skids of election theft in 2020. But that said, with him the likely nominee, and more importantly in the face of all of this, that has to be put on the back burner. There will be time to hold his feet to the fire, assuming his ego will even allow that, but for now, we have to realize this is an attack on all of us. Hence, Ramaswamy delivers another well-timed and well-stated shot across the bow:

In his statement released on X, Ramaswamy called the ruling a true “attack on democracy,” characterizing it as “a cabal of Democrat judges” seeking to bar the former president from the 2024 election
“I pledge to *withdraw* from the Colorado GOP primary unless Trump is also allowed to be on the state’s ballot, and I demand that Ron DeSantis, Chris Christie, and Nikki Haley to do the same immediately – or else they are tacitly endorsing this illegal maneuver, which will have disastrous consequences for our country,” he said.
“Today’s decision is the latest election interference tactic to silence political opponents and swing the election for whatever puppet the Democrats put up this time by depriving Americans of the right to vote for their candidate of choice,” he added.
Ramaswamy then outlined some of the history behind the 14th Amendment, noting that it was passed “to prohibit former Confederate military and political leaders from holding high federal or state office.”
“These men had clearly taken part in a rebellion against the United States: the Civil War. That makes it all the more absurd that a left-wing group in Colorado is asking a federal court to disqualify the 45th President on the same grounds, equating his speech to rebellion against the United States,” he noted.
“The Framers of the 14th Amendment would be appalled to see this narrow provision—intended to bar former U.S. officials who switched to the Confederacy from seeking public office—being weaponized by a sitting President and his political allies to prevent a former President from seeking reelection. Our country is becoming unrecognizable to our Founding Fathers,” he concluded.

The cynic in me of course notes that Ramaswamy is no doubt lobbying hard for the veep slot on the Trump ticket. But you can't dispute anything he said. And it needs to be said and acted on. Not sure about DeSantis but the personal political ambitions and allegiances of Haley and Crisco might preclude their standing in unison and telling the CO court to go fuck itself.

In any case, whatever you think about Trump as a candidate or even a leader (I could care fuck-all about his "personality"), all of the above along with the continued sliming of him as "literally Hitler" and the fear-mongering that Trump will become a tyrannical dictator – the abject chutzpocrisy of that propaganda campaign is a howler that makes a dead man's ears bleed – is telling. It is they who fear him because they fear all of us.

The irony of course is that with each charge and each outrage hurled at him, Trump's poll numbers only go up. And that has not been lost on some of the more clear-thinking of the Left.

[Dem poll guru Doug] Schoen stated that as a Democrat, he believes it will not only hurt the party, but “democracy” as well. The pollster continued to highlight allegations against Trump have yet to be “fully vetted in a court of law,” emphasizing Biden should fight to keep him on the ballot.
“Well, this is one Democrat who believes this is gonna hurt Democrats and certainly hurt democracy. You know, Donald Trump has not been convicted of anything, and to kick him off the ballot preemptively is to me anti-democratic and against the interests of the Democratic Party,” Schoen stated.
“Donald Trump has a lot of negatives, but to throw him off the ballot, based on allegations which have not been fully vetted in a court of law, with appeals, is to me contrary everything our country stands for. And I’m a Biden supporter. I would vote for Joe Biden tomorrow. But I would tell Joe Biden that he should press the Supreme Court to get Donald Trump back on the Colorado ballot, indeed on every ballot.”

Good on Schoen, but I will assume that he assumes that all of the charges will stick, so he can preen, strut and gloat about his "principled" stand when Trump is sent off to Leavenworth, or Old Sparky given the warped bloodthirsty mindset of the Judiciary. But, reading between the lines, Schoen also fears Trump can and will beat Biden, probably even in as close to a landslide as today's political landscape can give. Of course, the 82 million ballot gorilla in the room is the fraud factor, now baked into the system, ironically because of Trump's initial handling of the pandemic and falling for the lockdown scam.

Regardless, the rejection of Biden by a growing number of Democrats, some even recognizing it as the party and not just the celeriac-in-chief thanks to the disaster of an economy and all the other disasters over the past three years, and the potentially camel-back-breaking-straw of in your face Jew-hatred, a change is going to come.

Rigged elections or not.

The University of North Carolina’s Ralph Baric and EcoHealth Alliance co-founder Peter Daszak drafted a grant proposal a year before the outbreak of COVID-19 that disguised the risky nature of their work to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), which is part of the Pentagon.

6 No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

Do you see anything in there about taking an oath as President qualifying one for 14th amendment prohibition? Lets assume President Trump gave aid or comfort to the J6 people, how did they become enemies of the United States? Were any of the J6 people convicted of insurrection or rebellion? The CO ruling is legal dog shit.

8 Under the Appointments Clause of the Constitution, the principal officers of the U.S., such as federal judges, ambassadors, and "public Ministers" (Cabinet members) are appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate, but Congress may vest the appointment of inferior officers to the president, courts, or federal department heads. Civilian officers of the U.S. are entitled to preface their names with the honorific style "the Honorable" for life, but this rarely occurs. Officers of the U.S. should not be confused with employees of the U.S.; the latter are more numerous and lack the special legal authority of the former.

16 Thanks as always JJ. This thing really bothers me; among others reasons because I know it’ll reveal the GOP to be yet again worthless. Vivek has it right…. All the other GOP candidates should pull themselves off the CO ballot (at a minimum)… the CO GOP should announce that Trump will receive all CO delegates at the GOP convention if this actually happens…

Honestly at this point with all that’s happened for any other GOP candidate to stay in the race is telling me they’re RINOs or lapdogs or worse. There has been a number of occasions along the way where all of them could’ve said we’re dropping out and endorsing Trump against the deep state (any one of his indictments). The longer they stay in now the more suspect they are to me. The excuse “we need someone in case Trump dies or goes to prison” is no longer valid… at this point they’re clearly hoping that happens and it’s despicable

46 If the CO decision is allowed to stand, it sets a *very* dangerous precedent going forward. Blue states will lobby to remove ANY candidate from a ballot that does not meet the approval of the Political Machine of the state.

Red states will most likely NOT take advantage of this, but some could decide to use it to their own advantage to remove non-GOPe candidates (i.e., the MAGA types that support Trump's agenda) that would cause problems for the Uniparty.

It's going to get very ugly, very fast if this is allowed to stand.

The proper response will be to denounce the kangaroo court ruling, continue to stay filed for the primary, and publicly express full confidence that the ruling will be overturned in time for the voting.

This was discussed a while ago. He had some sort of scholarship from Peter Soros, the Nazi's brother. From what I understand, the brother is unaffiliated. No idea if they are ideological brothers, but that's what I had heard.

That is the logical consequence of this decision, but think about it - quickly every state legislature would select who was allowed on their ballots, in effect "fixing" every election before it is held. This is what Venezuela has down since the communists took over.

In this country, it would mean immediately that the Union is over, and the breakup is now upon us. This is not some ordinary bad ruling; this is a true life or death of the Republic moment.

Except... a Republican will win a statewide race in CO the same day a blue sun dawns from the West in a yellow sky. There is no benefit derived by clearing that field for Trump. He will not be winning those EVs under any circumstance.

It's just a nice, cost-free virtue signal for any Republican who wants to withdraw from that race, and if they all do, it paints the Democrats as the corrupt, Statist election thieves they are.

83 Except... a Republican will win a statewide race in CO the same day a blue sun dawns from the West in a yellow sky. There is no benefit derived by clearing that field for Trump. He will not be winning those EVs under any circumstance.

It's just a nice, cost-free virtue signal for any Republican who wants to withdraw from that race, and if they all do, it paints the Democrats as the corrupt, Statist election thieves they are.

It makes solid political sense for the GOP to present a united front, here... so you can be sure they won't.

88 Yes,Trump was found by the CO trial court to have incited the insurrection because someone somewhere could have interpreted something he said sometime somewhere as an intent to somehow not accept that 2020 was the most free, fair and transparent election in history. It only then found the 14th didn't apply.

A bedrock principle of common law is that all acts must be judged by the guage of a "reasonable man." They have completely upended and thrown that out to get Trump.

So, Trump now incited the insurrection. For which not one person has been charged.
An insurrection--for the first time in the 2,000 history of the West-- no weapons were used and no property was damaged.

And the CO supreme court has now said the clear language of the 14th means whatever they want it to say and ruled it did apply.

Note well the explosive, violence-tinged vindictive glee that is consuming the left in response to this; where they are openly threatening murderous retaliation if this is overturned.

91 Tidbits
1. Colorado holds its primary on Super Tuesday (Mar. 5, 2024) and carries very little weight in the selection of either party's presidential candidate.
2. Colorado has a semi-open primary. Democrats must vote for the Dem candidates. Republicans must vote for the Repub candidates. Unaffiliated or independent voters however can vote for one or the other party's slate of candidates.
3. Any Republican candidate has a snowball's chance inn hell of carrying Colorado in the general election regardless of the outcome of the primaries. 100% mail-in ballots, aggressive ballot harvesting and a Democrat Secretary of State carry the day for the Dems.

100 What's disheartening is that the Colorado decision represents the full Venezuelation of the American judicial system; the complete corruption of that system in order to gain and hold power. Even though it should be overturned, it's acceptance on the left is a sign of the loss of all former standards of behavior, and any belief in actual justice.

More evidence, as if any were needed, that its over. The Union is kaput, the justice system is rotted out. Your rights as an American are words on paper, nothing more.

Only open question now is what Americans will do about it. I'm interested to see how, if at all, Republican voters (not the party, we know its a corpse) will respond in Colorado. They have been disenfranchised by their own supreme court. Have they noticed? can they muster even a mild protest? Have my doubts, but we shall see.

103 Colorado did exactly what the J6 committee suggested; find a way to keep Trump off the '24 ballot. It's a litmus test. If this doesn't work then another state will try something different.

The thing is, time isn't on their side if this fails. But if it takes 8 or 9 months to resolve, even if SCOTUS takes it up at the last minute, the proverbial damage might be done.

134 Some of my favorite CO corruption is the marked mail-in ballots. In my home county there (Park), they do it with a strategically placed scan-hole in the envelope. Dem-registered voters and indys get ballots that fold up and show white through the hole when they seal it. GOP voters get one that shows red. Human ballot counters can then see which to toss in the trash.

In the last county I lived in (Adams) they didn't even bother with that cheesy subterfuge. They just color coded the envelopes. Blue, red, and I think it was orange for indys.

People forget, DeSantis was a no-account congressional backbencher for 6 years, literally, the guy was a non-entity.

Then he bailed on congress, jumped on the MAGA/America first movement, ran for Governor, won with a major assist from Trump and since then, has acted as if he's some cock of the walk.

He's not going to win the GOP primary, he's going to finish his term as Governor and then probably fight either Rubio or Scott over their Senate seats.

The guy is political opportunist of the rankest order and it shows.

It might not be best for everyone but I did the math on that myself one time and it took nearly a decade before it got close.

It's definitely not as cut and dried as is suggested here. I waited until I was 66 because I didn't need the money immediately (and still don't, though it's nice to have) and because my family is long-lived, so I'll likely live to collect more at the much higher rate I now get. Also, should I go first, my wife will be able to pick up my SS, which is much larger than hers.

Obama (no doubt) did not write this, not have any part in its production. But he will allow his name to be fronted, and will make a few promotional videos. So sure, put it under the "Obama" label.

At least they are exposing (part of) their real agenda (21, 31, whatever).

You can possibly win only if there's an audience. People like journalists and ideologically-pure leftists are true believers. You will never change their minds. It doesn't matter how complete, rational, correct or obviously right you are. They are post-fact. It doesn't matter to them one bit and you will change none of their minds.

Arguing with a true believer is fruitless unless someone is there to watch it and listen to it. You might plant a seed of doubt or raise an eyebrow for the third party listener. Where you possibly win is with that third party, not with the person you're ostensibly debating.

309 Good morning, JJ.

I'm torn by your Morning Report, mainly because of you blaming President Trump for "baked in" election fraud stemming from him initially going along with the pandemic lockdowns.
I will note that at the time, nearly everyone (including most Republican voters) believed that Covid could result in the deaths of untold numbers of Americans. I remember distinctly how the great Rush Limbaugh pointed out in hindsight "If the experts are showing you numbers that upwards of 2 millions die, you have to take action." Yet now I hear people on our side - supposedly - saying nonsense like "Trump should have known," when the people he was relying on to give him advice were some of these very same people! Trump is not God but the people he trtrusted who lied to him would sooner wreck the great USA than give up one spindle of their power. So let's stop this BS of trying to pin the 2020 election steal fault on DJT (the victim) when he was THE ONLY ONE willing to fight against it and the snake nest that is the MSM and DC Establishment. I do appreciate you, JJ but I'm beyond sick of this ridiculous claim!

"We conclude that because President Trump is disqualified from holding the office of President under Section Three, it would be a wrongful act under the Election Code for the Secretary to list President Trump as a candidate on the presidential primary ballot," the court's majority wrote in an unsigned opinion. "Therefore, the Secretary may not list President Trump's name on the 2024 presidential primary ballot, NOR MAY SHE COUNT ANY WRITE-IN VOTES CAST FOR HIM." Colorado's 1st, and Vivek has it right.

Something else of note: Colorado Sun, 12/19: The Unaffiliated...: If voters casting ballots in Colorado’s Democratic presidential primary next year don’t like any of the candidates on their ballot, they’ll be able to choose what’s effectively a “none of the above” option.

The Colorado Democratic Party added a “noncommitted delegate” choice to the March 5 ballot that gives voters the option of sending untethered representatives to the Democratic National Convention next year to select the party’s nominee.

Florida Phoenix, 12/11/23: FL Democrats won't have a vote in presidential primary in '24; what about voters in other states?

In part, "Unless a federal judge intervenes, registered Democratic Party voters in Florida won’t have a chance to vote for Joe Biden or any of his opponents for the Democratic presidential nomination next year — a development that may happen only in a few other states in 2024.

The Florida Democratic Party has come under fire from some of Biden’s Democratic challengers who say they were unfairly shut out of the process of getting on the March 19 presidential preference primary ballot.

Minnesota Congressman Dean Phillips, New Age author Marianne Williamson and “Young Turks” host Cenk Uygur have all publicly denounced their omission from the ballot, and last week a Tampa Democrat filed a federal lawsuit against the party, calling on a judge to place Phillips name on the ballot. By law in Florida, uncontested elections don’t appear on a ballot."

Ho, ho, ho! Just watch.

What are you talking about? Trump HAS committed a crime. He is not a member in good standing of the political party with the sole, exclusive right to rule America as it and it alone sees fit.
