The Morning Report — 1/15/24

malcontentofcharacter.jpg

Good morning, kids. Today is the official federal holiday commemorating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday, which unlike many, for once falls on his actual birthday. For sure, he had his faults and his flaws like any other human being, but his core beliefs and what he fought for, and the ways of nonviolence that he advocated to achieve them stand in stark, absolute contrast with what the Anti-American Left and its co-conspirators in the Democrat Party have done to this nation in the 60 years since Dr. King's heyday (and really since Burr murdered Hamilton).

Instead of equality of opportunity, and content of character over color of skin, we have been "fundamentally transformed" into a dystopian society where things are just the opposite. I just have to write the name "Claudine Gay" and you can well imagine Dr. King somewhere in the great beyond weeping, if not hurling epithets. It's bad enough that we have a hierarchy based on the most irrelevant things such as racial, ethnic and sexual characteristics, but the purveyors of this poison have as central tenets the notion of oppressed and oppressors, where the latter are defined with the immutable characteristics of being genetically pre-disposed to being such. That is, an evil that must be eradicated, "by any means necessary."

Naturally, this is patent nonsense. Then again, so were the rantings and ravings of a certain Viennese housepainter who wrote the book Mein Kampf. Since Dr. King's assassination (and as an aside, the FBI lurks not far below the surface yet again), far too many individuals have been brainwashed and bamboozled into believing the same kind of poison. And here we are, virtually at each other's throats. Except it's more like a big hobnailed Manolo Blank jackboot is on ours.

The question remains, can we throw it off, because unlike those pressing down on our larynx we do not have the luxury of "any means necessary." Merely the instrumentalities of a system that has been so corrupted as to make regular order, elections, and even peaceful protest impossible. Friend and Cob CBD touched upon this yesterday in his piece "Is America Dead and We Just Don't Know It?

Well, maybe not dead but not at all well. Arguably one of the most horrid individuals in this nation, Malig-Nancy Pelosi opened her filthy sewer and belched this out.

During a recent appearance on CNN, Nancy Pelosi made a bizarre declaration that has many scratching their heads as to what she meant.

In the segment, host Phil Mattingly openly wonders why the polls are so close and asks her about it.

“You lay out what the former president has said he wants to do in terms of repealing Obamacare, in terms of being proud of Roe versus Wade being struck down, in terms of more tax cuts, along the lines of what you saw in 2017, that also polls much better for Democrats than it would for him,” Mattingly began. “And yet this is a neck-in-neck race and no one feels very comfortable in the Democratic side of things that Donald Trump isn’t going to be the next president.”

“Well, I don’t think that nobody feels, I think many of us know that it’s impossible for him to be the president again with what he’s proposing,” Pelosi told him.

Malig-Nancy Pelosi is many things, among them arrogant, corrupt, venal and drunk on power. She's also loud and in your face, yet of late, mercifully out of the public eye. So for her to suddenly pop up kind of raises the hair on the back of my neck.

If she were ever in a non-puff-piece interview, she'd fall apart into a mass of gibbering stammers before leaving in a huff. She has zero rhetorical skills except for being able to string pre-digested talking points and slanders which the media gobble up unquestioningly and uncritically. Propagandist Mattingly did ask her how she felt so confident but she merely stated it was because people supposedly overwhelmingly preferred Biden's "successes" over Trump's promises of "disaster."

But obviously there's more to this beneath the surface. While Pelosi is an octogenarian and for sure slowing down, she's nowhere near as limited in her mental capacity as Joey. "Many of us know it's impossible for Trump to be President." Remember four short (long) years ago, Pelosi guaranteed Donald Trump would not win the 2020 election. She wasn't confident, she wasn't wildly optimistic. She guaranteed that there was no way he would win.

Now four years later, with the same "temporary" measures like mail-in ballots, same day registration, ballot harvesting and non-verification, all as a result of the lockdowns still in place, you better believe she just tipped her mitt. Yet, on an optimistic note, if I can be optimistic pace CBD and Buck Throckmorton above, the situation in the nation and with the people is radically different from four years ago.

A change is coming that moves beyond mere electoral politics, rigged or not. Maybe this is a harbinger:

. . . I undertook what is, I believe, the first such analysis of the cumulative data from 17 current polls with a subset of Black voters, which revealed a striking, if not historical, shift in Black voting preferences toward the Republican Party, and particularly to Donald Trump. . .

. . . The aggregate of all 17 polls showed that 21.9% of black voters intend to vote for Donald Trump, with many individual polls showing Trump polling above 20%; for example, ActiVote had 34.4% of the black vote going to Trump.

The Trump preference range of individual polls varied from Blacks Yahoo News at 7% to HarrisX at 38%, demonstrating the importance of aggregation for a more comprehensive understanding.

Even if, on election day, it drifts back, I very much doubt it would drift back to the 12% Trump received in 2020. Even, say, 16% + stay-at-homes in the right cities would be a huge game changer. . .

. . . The potential electoral impact is clear. The concentration of Black voters in pivotal states urban areas like Philadelphia, Atlanta, Milwaukee, and Detroit switching to Trump by 17% could significantly impact the election outcome. These polls are Biden/Trump head-to-head; the inclusion of Cornel West if he gets on the ballot is a further challenge to Biden. . .

. . . The historic shift in Black voting preferences, as indicated by aggregated polling data, suggests a potential paradigm shift with far-reaching consequences for the Democratic Party. High-profile Black voices, combined with these polling numbers, indicate a notable trend that, if confirmed at the ballot box, could reshape the political landscape. The upcoming election may witness a significant increase in Black support for Trump, with potential repercussions for Democratic electoral strategies.

This has not come out of the blue. I noted indications of shifts among Black men in 2016 and 2020. Change usually does not come in a rush unless massive forces like the Great Depression, which shifted the Black vote nearly en masse from GOP to Democrat. But the shift from John McCain (4%) to Donald Trump (12%) -- and now polling at 21% -- shows which way the wind is blowing, and if confirmed at the ballot box, a new paradigm will be in place.

Boy oh boy (no racist pun!) do I have a dream today.

Whatever one thinks of polling especially this far out (or near, since elections are either light years away or right around the corner depending upon one's perspective!) is an eye-opener. In normal, non-rigged elections, if Dem support from blacks drops below IIRC 93%, that is a major alarm bell for the former. What this aggregate poll shows is a potential disaster. Even if as we can all assume the key swing states which have large urban areas that will be rigged for Biden, the amount of cheating will have to be so massive that it would be even more obvious than what we witnessed four years ago.

Here's the kicker, though. Unlike four years ago, we now have a significant number of Americans across the board who believe that 2020 was at least compromised and at most outright stolen (I had that poll some time last week, perhaps it was from National Pulse). That significant number via polling and anecdotally now includes blacks who are seething about the economy, transexual/homosexual indoctrination and most of all open borders. Now try stealing 2024, which no doubt the Dems will or have the battle plan to attempt it.

Be that as it may, as I said, I believe a sea change is coming regardless of elections and all their attendant now kabuki-bukkake crap. For all intents and purposes, and like it or not, Trump is going to be the standard bearer this year. If he does overcome the cheat, what can he do as chief executive with a bureaucracy that is going to essentially mutiny the moment he takes his hand off that Bible?

This of course assumes that said bureaucracy doesn't physically move against him and take him out. Remember: Trump is now literally Hitler, a tyrant who is going to throw people into concentration camps or worse. He is evil. And by defining him – and never forget by extension all of us as evil – then "any means necessary" can be used to stop him, and with a clear conscience. Dangerous days ahead, my friends.

Of particular note at press time but no time to cover:

  • Taiwan has rejected the Chi-Com flunky candidates and voted for the pro-independence party, which is sure to piss of Emperor Pooh Xi
    and
  • While things heat up in the Red Sea, Daniel Greenfield reports about rumors that the Biden Junta is giving advance warning to the Houthis we're allegedly punishing.

It WAS letting me just turn the heat off at the thermostat for a spell, then turn it back on and it would start back up. Now, I have to go into the attic and turn the main power off to the unit, then back on. THEN it fires back up for a bit.

    No, but his staff did.

    DoD is infiltrated with Iranian sympathizer. At very, very high levels. As is State. So of course Iran was notified when and where we'd strike.

    Hell, Iran probably knew this before the guy pushing the launch button on a Tomahawk or the pilot dropping a bomb.

    70 The article about Israel making a push to take Rafah - I am loath to criticize the IDF, because I believe that overall they have done an excellent job; but Rafah should have been taken a month ago, at least. There are still a huge amount of weapons being smuggled across the border there and that is keeping Hamas going. I suspect Israel has been trying to avoid responsibility for keeping over a million refugees fed and have avoided taking Rafah for that reason; but it's past time for them to step up and end this war.

Your character - that is, your mind and your attitude and whatnot - do not matter at all. Only your meat sack matters. It's in their language now. "Black bodies" and "female bodies" and whatnot. It's all the matters anymore. Your least important attribute - the physical meat of which you're comprised - is the only consideration.

    They flipped the script - the naked racial hatred is now anti-white rather than the opposite - but they got their preferred world back.

    I see Vivek pulling out a narrow win.

    Trump's attack won't work, as Vivek smartly laid immunizing groundwork with his early, good-faith support of Trump. If DeSantis had poured love on Trump and run as a more effective MAGA candidate (which Vivek as implicitly done, explaining in detail how he'll drain the swamp), things would be different. Vivek has run the smartest primary campaign in a long time.

    115 I cannot remember which radio program played it, whether Rush or something local. But one of MLK's other speeches was the one that I favored, even if it isn't as well-known.

    It was about the street sweeper. The lowly street sweeper. Another one of those jobs looked down upon by the 'high and mighty'. Well, ignore those people. You have a job, do it right and do it with pride over what you actually do. To sweep that street just as Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel's ceiling.

    There's something to be said about a job well-done, and one that actually improves life (beauty and cleanliness). I'm not sure if it was mentioned in the sermon, but we should also think about our actions; the street sweeper helps keeps the streets clean, but you should do your part not to get it messy. Don't litter, just because it's someone else's job to clean up. Among other smaller, or bigger, things that can be done as a child of God for another child.

    Vivek is self funded and lean he can keep running for a while regardless of placement through say SC. If he doesn't finish better than 4th by then he's probably out.

    121 If he does overcome the cheat, what can he do as chief executive with a bureaucracy that is going to essentially mutiny the moment he takes his hand off that Bible?
    ++++
    Little. His main maneuvering space will be the same as it was last time, though more restrained than it was then because there's more time to build bulwarks against him. The same three areas:
    - Foreign policy (which will be much more muted this time)
    - The border (where they will let him be moderately successful, so as to ride his coattails while publicly saying he's evil and simultaneously taking credit for the upsides)
    - Trade (probably the least constrained in fact)

    The rest will keep on keeping on, under even greater opposition and outright rejection of orders - just like Afghanistan last time.

    The presidency is essentially a false prize, which is why I don't really care anymore. I'm hoping that Abbot kicks off a full-blown nullification crisis by ignoring the inevitable injunction that comes down over his eviction of federal officers from the border areas he's taken over with state forces. If he does that, it will set a much more valuable theme than some titular office in a Washington, DC mansion.

    Among those being mentioned for Trump’s secretary of defense are Christopher Miller, who served temporarily during his administration, Michael Flynn and Mike Pompeo. nbcnews.com

    General Miley openly discussed his plans to commit treason against the United States by warning opponents about military action.
    The armed forces refused to follow their orders about preparing to withdraw from Afghanistan, and caused a generational humiliation for the US.
    The Navy launched retaliatory operations against Yemen, but did so without presidential or JCoS orders. Biden is a vegetable, Austin was in ICU and his second in command was on vacation.

    1. He was an inconsequential backbencher of a congressman from 2012-2018.

    2. His successes, such as they are, are predicated on having a legislature that is completely on board with the program, he's not going to have that as President.

    It doesn't matter who it was. All that matters is that it was - as you point out - *someone,* and that someone is a person who probably has no technical right to launch military action yet the military followed those orders anyway.

    Of course. It is always thus. It's why we haven't won a war since 1945.

    The best anyone can hope for is that political and military objectives align with the interests of the United States. In this case, it does because protecting trading routes is ultimately what undergirds all US power and influence - including the use of the Dollar for international settlements (which, while under attack, is still very much the general status quo for the time being). A lot rides on the existential basis of American power, and the powers that be need to not fuck it up too badly if they're going to maintain their own positions and power.

    Whether they manage it successfully is entirely another story.

    It could have been something similar. Biden was pussyfooting until the *real* powers behind the scene finally got sick of it and just bypassed him. Back in the Obama days, they had to bully Obama into giving the order. We're more progressive now, and they can just do it directly.

    I'm thinking of the person in Chicago demanding Trump come and fix the mess that decades (a century?) of Democrat rule has created. Really? NOW you want Trump - and by Trump, you want someone who will do what's right and take on entrenched, self-dealing bureaucracies? What, NOW that you've noticed how this ends, after decades of making out well with all the ways, big and small, Democrats have bought your vote?

    It reminds me of the hurricane Katrina coverage, where a woman stood in maybe 2" of water demanding someone come rescue her. Oh honeys, you gave it away so long ago, don't you realize your vote now means nothing, that it will be diluted by those who count the ballots (the big city vote counts will be the same, because the counters are the same), and all those illegals who've been registered will have votes cast for Biden as well.

In his first playoff game as the Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback, the four-year veteran fumbled the snap on what would've been a go-ahead 19-yard field goal for kicker Martin Gramatica with just over a minute to play in the fourth quarter of Dallas's 21-20 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in the 2007 NFC Wild Card game.

    The black vote, such that it is, is largely manipulated by inner-city party bosses.

    I've voted in numerous NYC elections, in fact, I'm pretty sure I never missed an election, and have lived in black neighborhoods, actual black turnout has always been abysmally low, however, their ballots are counted as needed though.

    It reminds me of the Cali recall election of Gruesome, every one was alledgedly mad at Gruesome for the lockdowns, especially hispanics and asians, they were hopping mad and were going to show this Pendejo the true might of the hispanic and asian vote, except something funny happened on the way to the recall, Gruesome won recall by a larger margin than his general election.

    Yup, on that I agree. The *real* powers in the Party decided to go ahead and do that.

    Who those real powers are is anyone's guess. It doesn't matter. Whichever individual did it (or even small group) is irrelevant. That this is the way things work now is the relevant bit.

    312 Mike McCarthy will be fired, the DC will be fired and they will start shopping Dak or for his replacement. I don't think Cooper Rush is the guy, but Dak has proven he's not a big game QB, unfortunately. He seems like a really good, humble guy. He got Tim Tebow's shot and blew it. I think Tebow would've been a better QB at this point.

    Cut your losses and move on.

    And then there's that whole misunderstanding since late 2001, where some OTHER president had us involved in wars in the middle east.

    The good news is that the GS people can be reassigned. For example: there is a desperate need for CIA operatives with great expertise and years of service in Bhengazi. They needn't worry, they'll be given Ambassador level security. There is also a giant need for CIA agents in Dead Horse Alaska, to negotiate lunch schedules with polar bears. Or, they could resign.

    Always a bit of wishcasting on what a future winner may achieve, but DeSantis did not have a strong GOP legislature. It was a purple squish of a legislature. He fixed that, did the behind the scenes hard work to make it MAGA, and cleaned up voting roles such that the GOP won Dade country.

    Could he do that nationally? Excellent question. We know Trump already failed at it.

    359 Good morning, all, and thanks, J.J.

    IDK but I'd be cautious about Black voting, particularly when it comes to women holding one or more degrees, no matter how pointless (im or our opinions.) I've been stunned by some of the 'political' debates, especially concerning abortion & voting rights, I've had with well educated BFs, highly involved with their Christian churches, the LWVs (a watch item for sure), rotary clubs, etc. But maybe they're much like the Main Line ladies of fine schooling who sought law and/or PhD degrees years ago only because they weren't yet 'committed.'

    They became the yoga pantsed, ballet bar moms who, once the kiddies were grown, went full bore into women's rights, social justice, etc. as their own kids also did their privileged things.

    Below certain Degree levels or not, C19, SBA & more brought Black women to the path for $$$ for businesses (locally, often home healthcare, daycare, etc.) & PPP, etc. taught many communities how to obtain $ for all types of businesses (legit for ages or operational for 2 days).

    They have it now & they're not giving it up. (Why L. Krasner is 'admired' in Philly = Community $, power.)
