The Morning Report

The Morning Report — 4/22/24

Good erev Pesach morning, kids. Passover eve, for those not of the Tribe. What an ironically appropriate holiday for all of us, all things considered. But, it's also Earth Day! So happy Earth day, or more accurately happy Brutally-murder-and-compost-your-girlfriend-then-flee-to-France-for-23-years Day!

Speaking of compost, I give you a batch of it to start off the week, either with a laugh or as an emetic:

Although Joe Biden is a lifelong Democrat, his political career was long defined by bipartisan compromises and reaching out to the Republican Party with legislative compromises, budget battle solutions, foreign policy consensus, and, notably, personal friendships.
Now it’s time for him to make U.S. history by announcing, prior to the Democratic Party nominating convention, that he will name a bipartisan Cabinet and policy advisers and work with congressional Republican conservative leaders as well as progressive Democrats to find common ground on the issues Americans care about most, starting with border security, inflation, criminal justice, climate change, and support for democracy and the rule of law.
Beyond these problems that Americans want addressed with across-the-aisle cooperation, the issue of partisanship itself is one of voters’ biggest concerns. They tell this to pollsters constantly. Polarization and extremism ranked third across a list of 20 issues asked about in a poll taken in May-June 2023 – just after border security and inflation.

I can see you all alternately trying to laugh through your vomitus, hurtling out of your gullets like a firehose. But wait, there's more:

As many of these conservative anti-Trump Republicans and independents tell me in my travels, despite their serious concerns about Trump’s anti-democratic views and support for Valdmir Putin and other autocrats, they won’t vote for Biden’s reelection because they consider him to ideologically “liberal” and, worse, too “partisan.”
This is not the Joe Biden I have known since he was first elected as a moderate Democrat from the then-Republican-leaning state of Delaware. This is someone who during six terms in the Senate was popular among his GOP colleagues who appreciated his knack for finding the sweet spot between left and right for legislative compromises; he’s a man who ran as a moderate in the Democratic presidential field as recently as 2020.
So, there is an opportunity here for Biden to win over these Biden-skeptical anti-Trump voters. One way to do it would be to hit a dramatic re-set button for his campaign – to make history (and good government) by committing to a bipartisan presidency in his second term if reelected. . .
. . . There are many credible Republican leaders with strong anti-Trump views who are obvious candidates, if they are willing, to serve in an historic bipartisan Cabinet and second term Biden administration. The list includes Sen. Mitt Romney, former Rep. Liz Cheney, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, former GOP governors Asa Hutchinson and Chris Christie along with former Rep. Adam Kinzinger, and other GOP congressional leaders who opposed Trump’s election denialism. They recognize the reality of Trump’s complicity in an attempted insurrection to stop the counting of votes in 2021, and are repulsed by Trump’s pro-Putin and pro-autocratic foreign policy. . .
. . . Biden is fortunate to be able to call upon former presidents and top leaders of prior Democratic and Republican administrations to serve on a newly created official Presidential Senior Advisory Council. The first co-chairs could be ex-presidents (and personal friends) Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, with Barack Obama waiting in the wings. On foreign policy, Biden could tap the expertise of luminaries ranging from former secretaries of state Condoleezza Rice, John Kerry, and Hillary Rodham Clinton. Mrs. Clinton could do double duty on a committee of former first ladies, with Laura Bush and Michelle Obama. A domestic policy bipartisan counterpart could be co-chaired by Vice President Mike Pence and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, and could include former House Republican Speaker (and now anti-Trump conservative) Paul Ryan and former Democratic Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Perhaps even Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez could be part of the bipartisan team, too. Beyond her articulate expression of progressive views, AOC has been a constructive force in Congress for pragmatic compromise.

And the purveyor of this multi-trillion dollar ton of absolute horseshit is . . . Lanny Davis. Yup, the very same Lanny Davis who went to Yale Law School with Hilary Clinton and later served in the Clinton crime family during their stint at the White House as consigliere, er, special counsel (same thing) defending his sagging rapist ass from multiple scandals. After that, he's represented a virtual rogue's gallery of other scum and tyrants, with the cherry on the parfait now of being the mouthpiece for Michael Cohen. Perfect.

There are a couple of things to note with this inane waste of pixels that are nevertheless quite instructive. At first glance, Davis appears to be under the same delusion/illusion that the American citizenry as a whole, while divided on a few issues are nevertheless united in a common culture that seeks at a minimum tolerance if not accommodation. Given who he cites as "conservative," or that each side of the divide share a common enemy, Donald Trump and everyone who supports him, the entire gravamen of this discourse is a patently obvious lie.

Every individual he cites as a veritable "Lincoln's cabinet of rivals" all share the same goal: the fundamental transformation of America as founded from a nation where a limited government serves the will of the individual citizen by respecting his inalienable rights to that of a government that lords over an enslaved mass populace.

Why write this insulting, tedious, irksome piffle? FEAR. Davis et al have a very deep, nagging fear that no matter what they do to rig the 2024 election in every state they can, and that no matter what happens in the debasement of American jurisprudence that are these kangaroo court persecutions against Donald Trump, that at the end of the day he and we shall overcome them.

His notion that common ground exists in this country would be laughable were it not for the fact that not only are their political prisoners still having their lives ruined and rotting in jail as a result of the staged fake Democrat/DOJ/Deep State "insurrection" of 1/6/21, that a massive anarcho-terrorist crime wave is sweeping the nation as a result of Leftist anti-cop pro-criminal policies, and made even worse by an 8-million-strong invasion of illegal aliens that includes hardened criminals and even terrorists, and that Jews and Christians are being targeted and attacked on campuses as well as in churches and synagogues as a result of Islam and godless heathen secularism, the tip of the spear being the transexual mass-psychosis inflicted on us.

And all of the aforementioned inflicted on us by his anti-American party, political movement and the RINO scum who profit off of it.

On the latest podcast with friend and friend of the blog Jim Lakely of the Heartland Institute, I asserted that America today is probably more divided than it was at the time of the Civil War. Regardless of the issues of slavery and states rights as well as other factors such as economics, at least there was some common ground and heritage that was shared by both North and South, regardless of the aforementioned issues.

In point of fact, I believe we are now no longer one people. We are two very different nations occupying the same territory. The Left hate us, everything we stand for, and America itself. There is no common ground, and like Israel, there can be no two-state solution vis a vis some sort of national divorce, even if it could be engineered. Our very existence is anathema to their own. It would negate everything they stand for, insane as it is.

It's us or them:

Any political prediction for the remainder of 2024 must, to be taken seriously, account for one overbearing fact: neither side can afford to lose. For one side or the other, it will be game over. Political power will thereafter be denied forever to the defeated party. . .
. . . There are other factors that will spell the end of constitutional democracy, the end of the rule of law, and the bastardization of our culture but government-funded lawbreaking will be sufficient to do its intended job. . .
. . . The only reason Clinton lost in 2016 was because the Left lied, cheated, stole, but not enough. In 2020, the limits came undone, and the left pulled off the greatest fraud in history.
They fully expect to do it again, but on an even grander scale.
Only this time, even fraud will not be enough. If the leftist candidate officially “wins” in a historic landslide, nobody will believe it. The ordinary American, shocked into inaction since the January 6 incident, is in no mood to hand over his country to yet another blatant, obvious theft. State legislators are on notice. In order to certify their electors, there must be no reasonable doubt that the vote was conducted within the requirements of the law. The legislators now know, as many of them did not in 2020, that no one can require them to certify an elector until they have performed their due diligence. That power is theirs alone, not the secretaries of state.
But the Left is also aware of this. Their game plan will factor that in. Some Democrats in Congress have already stated, in advance, that they will refuse to count electoral votes which would cause their party to lose the presidency. They can’t surrender. A leftist defeat will be utterly unacceptable to them.
How, then, will the deadlock be broken?

Quite a good essay but the fact is that even elections, that is even elections wherein a now massive margin of institutional fraud can be overcome will still leave in place an entirely corrupt government, bureaucracy and courts that will not allow anyone, even a Donald Trump on steroids, to denude them of even the tiniest scintilla of their illegitimate power.

It is a sad state of affairs that owing to 100 years of the overturning of the Constitution because of the will-to-power of several generations of our so-called elites, as well as the societal dissolution that has erased morality and ethics of not only the aforementioned but at far too many of our now-erstwhile fellow citizens, we must now fundamentally re-transform America. Either back to the way it was or to some other state wherein those who destroyed it in the first place are never ever in a position to do it again.

As Allen Ludden might say, the password is Revolution.

The discussion during the podcast and Heartland's latest poll are, no pun, disheartening in the extreme. Recall that their earlier poll showed an alarming percentage of respondents admitting to cheating in 2020, which led to the conclusion that 2020 was indeed severely compromised if not for sure stolen. This latest poll is even more alarming in that a majority of respondents when asked are willing to cheat and break the law again if it means ensuring their candidate wins.

Yes, the other side are fully amoral and corrupt, but because they are true believers who see us as an existential evil, "by any means necessary" is in their view perfectly justified if not demanded. And what of us? If the whole damned shit house is corrupt, then where is the sin in doing exactly what they do to prevent them from stealing the election?

Look how far we have sunk when contemplating guerrilla tactics in our own country, such as it was, is not beyond the pale.

Are there any other religions besides Muslims that actually recommend killing your enemies? As a Christian, we are taught to turn the other cheek, but Muslims are chanting that that the solution is to get rid of America and Israel. Are there other religions that share that view?

18 The Left hate us, everything we stand for, and America itself. There is no common ground, and like Israel, there can be no two-state solution vis a vis some sort of national divorce, even if it could be engineered. Our very existence is anathema to their own.

May I add:
There is serious part of the Democrat psyche that requires a swift and direct punishment of any success or achievement that is not the result of government scale tipping via DEI, taxes, tariffs, or subsidies.
There is no doubt in my mind that before 2030 there will be a BAIL IN whereas all private retirement funds will be confiscated.

24 Political power has already been permanently taken from the defeated Party. I'm tired of being told the horse is leaving the barn while some Democrat child is eating it from a tub of library paste as we speak.

As to the other article - if that poll is true, the fact that polarization is the *#3* concern of most voters tells you how deeply in denial most voters are. It should #1, in bold italics, underlined, with a bullet. This country has ceased being a viable political unit, and every day could be the day when one half the population (almost certainly the Democrat half, but time will tell) decides to simply dispense with the other once and for all.

33 “I was speaking in the context of forgiving the president and any people in government who offend us by their words and actions – that we cannot harbor resentment toward them because in doing so, it would be sinful. We must forgive them if we are to be free. You can find the whole talk online to understand what was really said.”

The Bishop is correct. As Paul said to the Romans, our leaders are put in their positions over us by the will of God for His purposes. Even the bad ones, Nebuchanezzar, the Pharos, Nero, even Stalin and Hitler were put in their position to serve God's will. Does that mean we have to vote for him? No! But like Joseph in prison, do your best work where God has placed you, and have faith that God has a plan.

>>Holder’s defense of the Columbia protesters, who were violating of university policy and shouting anti-Semitic slogans including "Globalize the intifada" and "NYPD, KKK, IDF, you're all the same," does not square with his law firm Covington & Burling's decision late last year to sign a letter, along with dozens of white shoe firms, expressing zero-tolerance for the disruptive, anti-Semitic protests taking place on college and law school campuses across the country. (Maybe Covington should FIRE Holder - jjs)

Seem to recall Holder and his firm defending terrorists held in Gitmo (for free, of course). Also recall Holder as AG actively suing cities that didn.t approve plans to build mosques, which is how we got so many mega mosques during the Obama era.

62 If there was any real interest in taking back Columbia University from the paid outrage mob, they'd go after those funding it.

I keep harping on this; those mobs are the front lines in the civil war. It's not just Jews that are being assaulted. Those mobs have attacked parents against transgenders and grooming kids in public schools, "Christian nationalists," white males, etc.

Some demographic group pops up on the left's hate radar and is targeted. These mobs have demonstrated they're willing and able to physically attack and in some cases, kill whomever they're pointed to.

Cut off the funding and they mostly go away. But apparently that's not going to happen.

A rabbi associated with Columbia advised all Jewish students to leave the university because it’s not safe for them (not in the silly safe-space sense, but actually in danger of physical violence). It’s astonishing that NYPD does nothing…. Columbia University does nothing. The NY national guard should be called out and they need to clear out that encampment and arrest and imprison everyone there (including Susan Sarandon if she remains)….

72 For all the divides during the Civil War, both sides still believed men and women were different. You are correct; the division today is now far worse than it was then. There is no rapprochement possible today; one side or the other has to be totally destroyed, with all the death and destruction that will entail. Many American cities will have to die, along with many of those in them, before this ends.

The protests appear to be connected to the group Here 4 The Kids, which was founded by Tina Strawn and Saira Rao in 2023. The group supports a number of extreme causes and pushes anti-Second Amendment, climate change, and pro-Palestinian positions.

For her part, the extremist Rao took to her X/Twitter account to blast the audience members who opposed having the show they paid to see disrupted by a group of leftist white women. Handler has become a target of the pro-Hamas wing of the far left for vocally supporting Israel in videos and social media posts.

The eight-year deal will be worth up to $28 million, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing sources it did not name. The Journal summed it up as the “most lucrative and attractive shoe deal in women’s basketball—and yet another record for her collection.”

Nike plans to lay off 740 employees at its world headquarters in Beaverton by June 28, according to a notice the footwear and apparel giant sent to state officials.
The company has about 83,000 employees worldwide, including more than 11,000 at its Beaverton headquarters as of last spring, the Oregonian reported.

One point in regards to lil Z - he ran as the guy that would stop the dirty war in Eastern Ukraine and defeated the puppet Obama installed with his 2014 coup.

Of course lil Z did nothing to stop the massacres in Eastern Ukraine and then escalated with Russia until the war started.

It would be fascinating to see how much of this was always his plan, how much was the US Deep State, and how much was just his inability to control the Ukrainian paramilitaries in Eastern Ukraine...

All of it is the deep state. The CIA/State Dept cabal has been running the place since 2014. Anyone really believe that the Biden crime family as making bank with the very corrupt Burisma and nobody in our intel community knew what was going on?

When Trump wanted to look into the corruption in Ukraine and what was happening the CIA in the person of Eric Ciamarella, a guy whose name we weren't even allowed to whisper, tried to take him out with an impeachment.

There is zero oversight of the billions we have been shoveling to Ukraine. Much of it is just going to fund deep state operations. That's why there is no oversight. Zelensky is a puppet doing what he is told.

But do you really think their captors have ceased to murder their helpless hostages?

“The PRC [People’s Republic of China] has made it clear that it considers every sector that makes our society run as fair game in its bid to dominate on the world stage, and that its plan is to land low blows against civilian infrastructure to try to induce panic and break America’s will to resist.”

WTF? Could that involve any of the thousands of Chinese Nationals who have been sneaking across the border hidden in plain sight among the millions streaming over. Has Wray alerted his boss, Alejandro Mayorkas, to this threat? What else is Wray up to? Are they both part of the op?

258 "The discussion during the podcast and Heartland's latest poll are, no pun, disheartening in the extreme. Recall that their earlier poll showed an alarming percentage of respondents admitting to cheating in 2020, which led to the conclusion that 2020 was indeed severely compromised if not for sure stolen. This latest poll is even more alarming in that a majority of respondents when asked are willing to cheat and break the law again if it means ensuring their candidate wins."

Of course they are. Once you cross a moral line, it is very hard to get people to reinstitute it- if not impossible. And they do not see it as a moral failing which is perhaps most important. Their enemies (us) are literally evil, so why actually play fair?

303 @jaketapper: In response to “horrific” scenes of antisemitic harassment at and around campus, the Orthodox Rabbi at Columbia/Barnard sent a WhatsApp message to more than 290+ Jewish students recommending that they go home until it’s safe again for them on campus.

Go home until the antisemitism ends? Sounds like a plan, unless you're trying to actually get an education, degree, all that sort of stuff.

Oh my god, this is so awful! This is what has happened to our wonderful, "free" country? Freedom for white, heterosexual, x-tian men only.

It was disappointing to hear Ali Velshi present the situation at Columbia as though having police remove the protesters from the campus encampments being so unfair, without telling the complete story about the harassment of Jewish students. It was to prevent incidents like what happened to Salman Rushdie, or what happened at Kent State years ago

Ali Velshi-Very talented, compassionate journalist/anchor. That being said, he has certain views about the Middle East, and the compassion does not extend to Israel. There are a few more anchors on msnbc who align similarly.

325 The Ukraine thing is also fascinating in that it also shows by what they will not allow: any sort of peace negotiations. So, they want Ukraine to be free, but they also want the war to keep going at all costs- even if peace talks would allow a settlement that would ensure that and allow the 'other' aspects of their grift in Ukraine to continue.

I 'think' (and this is just rank speculation) that we are seeing a compromise/buy off. This is how they are securing the loyalty of the military contracts (the people behind them.) It is also possible that their other streams of revenue have withered and everything has swapped over due to the vast sums of cash flowing into the war effort.

Their actions show what it is and that they cannot/will not compromise on it.

I do. We've sent over $100 billion to Ukraine so far. Sure, there's lots of grifting going on but we've been running crap in Ukraine for many years before the war.

Uniparty US foreign policy for years has been focused on removing Ukraine and to a lesser extent Georgia from Russia and moving them closer to the west. It's a big reason they had to get rid of Trump. John McCain, Biden and Graham were up to their eyeballs in that dump during Maidan and we all know McCain's commitment to the deep state and failed foreign policy.

Stupid story, from mumble-mumble years ago. For some reason, I had purchased and taken hair product with me to basic training. Shortly after arrival, our first locker and equipment inspection, Drill Sergeant Taylor was going through my drawers, and pulled it out, looked at my newly-shorn ass right in the eyes, and said "Dippty-damn-Do?" and shook his head and threw it back in my locker.

No idea why I had to bring that and find a place for it in my limited locker space lol. What with not having any hair and not being able to go anywhere anyway.

And what the hell even is Dippty-Do? I had never bought it before, dunno how I even ended up with it (not planted or anything, I def bough it).

I've never heard of it since, until that comment. Is it a black hair product or something?

Ukraine has the 2nd highest reserves of gas in Europe, over 1 trillion tons. It's often said that Russia is gas station with a country. What do you think Ukraine is?

As much as the smooth brains like to pretend that we can survive on sunshine, wind and unicorn farts oil and gas power the world. In 2019 Ukraine and Russia signed a new contract to supply oil and gas to Europe. Gasprom, Nafotgaz oligarchs and oil companies. Probably not a coincidence that Rex Tillerson was pushed on Trump or the Biden crime family was getting rich off Burisma.

381 Honestly if my car were to te stolen I’d shrug. Get the insurance money but something else. People get so attached to their cars, I find it weird..

And I’m a car guy too. But they’re just things that can be easily replaced. And it’s to car shop anyway. 😀

383 Heavy Oil From Trudeau’s New Pipeline Is Headed for California

Valero Energy Corp. and Chevron Corp. are buying oil shipped through Canada’s newly expanded Trans Mountain Pipeline system for their California refineries, according to people familiar with the shipments, a sign that US West Coast may become a significant market for oil-sands crude.

The Trans Mountain expansion, which will almost triple the capacity of the only oil pipeline system running from Alberta to Canada’s Pacific Coast, is scheduled to enter commercial operation on May 1 after years of construction delays and price overruns.

This. We watch the heck out of girls college sports (well, except hockey because they're completely covered up and basketball because it's terrible), but the sports like volleyball and gymnastics? Tons of fans.

But the moment they turn pro a switch seems to flip and it's not as interesting.

Can't watch gymnastics anymore. Hearing 3000 teeny bopper girls squeee loudly everything a performer dies a sassy tweak or grind is a big turn off.

388 When one group yells "Abolish whiteness" and "Black/Jewish coalition", expecting support from the people you called "white Christian nationalists" is pretty fucking stupid. I am not surprised to see people sitting this one out.

392 @389 Jackstraw-California refineries have been refining sour crude for decades. There is only one refinery here in the Bay Area set up to refine sweet crude and that is Chevron, Richmond. They get their crude from Alaska exclusively.

This is an example of what I meant about energy. They can virtue seek all they want but watch what they do. California's economy needs oil and gas, as evil as they are.

Lanny Davis: same old, same old & among the Vampirical
>CNN, July 26, 2018, The many lives of Michael Cohen’s new lawyer

In part, "For Davis, who signed on as Cohen’s lawyer* (*Weinstein's too) earlier this month, his advocacy for Cohen – on Tuesday night he handed over a secretly recorded conversation between Trump and his client to CNN – is the latest odd iteration of a man who has spent a lifetime reinventing himself as a staple of political Washington. Depending on your view of him, Davis is either the ultimate survivor or a bad penny that just keeps turning up. (New York magazine’s Jonathan Chait described Davis as a “buffoon” and a “sleaze merchant” in 2012.)

Either way, however, no one can deny that Davis is a man of (at least) nine lives."

401 Alliance for Justice, 08/02/18 – On a press briefing call today, Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) joined leaders and advocates from some of the country’s most prominent labor unions, as well as Alliance for Justice, to express deep concerns about the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh for the Supreme Court.
A recording of the call is available on (website).

“Judge Kavanaugh’s record on the D.C. Circuit is hardly surprising: he has frequently dissented from his colleagues in cases involving workers’ rights, discrimination and retaliation, going out of his way to argue that the interests of corporations should trump the interests of workers. Our court system, more so than any other institution, is dedicated to the idea that everyone—not just the wealthy or powerful—should have a fair shot at justice. The nomination of Brett Kavanaugh, in addition to many of the other nominees put forward by this Administration, puts that fundamental principle in jeopardy,”...
