The Morning Report — 7/10/24

Good Morning Kids. So the Clinton war room, of Carville and now George Stephanopoulos, who the puppet masters of Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants went to for a staged kabuki interview to make the latter look coherent and able to leave vapor on a mirror to placate the Democrats was caught on a hot mic saying Biden has got to go. On top of that we now have the Cook political report predicting a Trump romp in key swing states and districts that tilts the Electoral College in his favor.

Make of all of that what you will. But why are Democrats and those who run the party as well as their allies in the propagandist media really freaking out over Biden? Do they not think they can rig the election or eliminate Trump via kangaroo courts or otherwise take him down to drag Biden's rotting corpse across the finish line and make it look legit?

Is there a real fear on their part that Biden's decrepitude mirrors and is representative of their disastrous policies that have left every part of our nation in ruins?

They would not be tearing themselves apart in public like this were this not the case. And for me, that is a good thing. If only we had a political party and leadership to take full advantage of this and make the case, if not FOR the GOP but certainly against the Democrat Party and Leftism going back at least a century that has led us here. The past three years are not a blip, they are just the cherry on top of the parfait of destruction going back to Wilson and the progressives.

On another front, people are freaking out about the GOP party platform giving short shrift to the pro-life movement. I would say that, in terms of immediate political expediency, take the win of the Dobbs decision and do what we always said we intended, and that is put the issue on the States which is where it belongs, and where it always belonged legislatively, until SCOTUS invented penumbras and emanations to invent a right to privacy that never existed, and for sure never existed nor was extended to those who demanded domain over their bodies when it came to refusing the COVID poison injections.

On a moral basis, infanticide in the womb is abhorrent and always will be. Now we get into the debate over when human life begins and when it must be protected and defined as such. Ironically a debate the Democrat Left does not and will never want to have.

As for the Democrat Left, this is all they have as a political weapon. On that score, our side has to figure out how to counter their arguments effectively and not just cede ground. Yes the AWFLs and others will never listen and that's just the way it is. But, I think this time around, Biden's dementia, record of destuction, the erased border, out of control crime and the disastrous economy are going to sink him and his party, election thievery notwithstanding.

Interesting times.

In fact, should the Democrats force Biden out of the race, none of his potential replacements fare as well as the octogenarian Democrat, who currently trails Trump by three points. Trump would defeat Hillary Clinton in a rematch 48 percent to 41 percent. Meanwhile, Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) only musters 40 percent to Trump’s 48 percent. Likewise, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer— floated among top Democrats as their preferred choice to replace Biden—would go down in defeat to Trump by a 10-point margin.

3 Willowed from tech thread (post # 109)

@57+70/San Franpsycho and @65/olddog:

And while everyone is paying attention to and arguing the finer points that surround the question of "What's wrong with Biden?" very little attention is being paid to the question of "How do we change the voting, counting, and verification systems to drastically reduce the ability to commit voting fraud?"

Those committing the fraud know that the courts are extremely reluctant to overturn the result of a vote, and they count on that fact. The last thing they want is a serious long-term focus on solving this problem to actually reduce the fraud.

Notice how voting/counting security and authentication is rarely (if ever) talked about during the time between elections, particularly during the run-up to one? The only time it does get talked about is afterwards for a short time, and only in a media-theatrics sort of way. In the intervening time between elections: Crickets.

4 A big part of getting away with The Steal was in a general public apathy and a perception that the 2020 race was "close". Nothing to do with numbers or data or polls or anything so tangible. Just a general meme. Normal people weren't going to delve into the chicanery and the tens of thousands of pages of legal shenanigans and squid ink used to obfuscate what really happened. They just shrugged and got on with their lives.

The junta is hucking that shit right out the window now. All the prerequisites for getting away with their hamfisted power grabs are evaporating.

9 Sure hope my fellow pro-life Republicans don't snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. I'm as pro-life as they come. But I also watched the elections in VA last year where the only thing Democrat candidates ran on was abortion. They made up wacko lies about GOP candidates, who barely put any message out. Putting a message out won't be a problem for the GOP this year, but it shows how easily the Democrats can activate their voters by fearmongering abortion. This year's GOP platform is well-designed and strategic. Somebody needs to help my pro-life friends understand how to accept victory and then advance.

26 Things are happening in Georgia. Ratshitburger has been removed from the election board. Polling stations will be required to manually count ballots to confirm totals.

"Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp signed Senate Bill 189 into law, approving several changes to how the state conducts elections.

As written, SB 189 removes the Georgia Secretary of State from the State Board of Elections in addition to creating new ways for individuals’ votes to be challenged.

The legislation, now law, also makes it illegal for members of the State Board of Elections, the Sec. of State, county or municipal superintendents or registrars, as well as any full-time, part-time or contract workers in elections-related roles to provide goods or services to the state related to voting equipment or vote tabulation, auditing or processing, as well as scanning ballots."

4 women were seated in the booth behind us, and their conversation revealed them to be a senior bank manager and 3 younger managers. Pearls of wisdom from the senior to junior, on unhappy customers, how not to apologize, writing good memos. No sign of distress on loans or the economy.

Then the conversation turned to the men they work with, and it went all downhill.

35 More on the Georgia bill:

"SB 189 makes it so that having proof of owning or renting a post office box or private mailbox service in a particular voting jurisdiction will no longer count as proof of residency as it relates to voting.

The bill also requires all absentee ballots have to be counted by 8 p.m. on the day of a primary, election or runoff, or within one hour of poll closure, whichever is a later time. Boards of registrars and absentee ballot clerks are now also required to not only store ballots securely but document authorized access to absentee ballots after receiving them. Absentee ballots are required to be stored in sealed containers prior to election counting processes."

40 Of course the ACLU is having a hissy fit:

"By signing SB 189 to become law, Brian Kemp delivered a gift to MAGA election deniers. He’s solidified his legacy as a vote suppressor, building on his signature anti-voter law from 2021 with a new law inspired by conspiracy theorists who continue to dispute the results of the 2020 election. With a new election on the horizon, Kemp is buttressing his pledge to MAGA, giving them new power to target Black, brown, rural, unhoused, and disabled populations and legislating harassment for already overburdened election workers."

Maybe. Or maybe ordinary citizens can turn the tide. It's science. Put pressure on one side of a dynamic equilibrium, and the equilibrium point shifts.

What if every lock box in MI had a citizen, with a protector nearby, filming the box the entire day. A citizen counting everyone in and out of a building with voting booths. Most are single entrances.
You can stand next to that person, and keep the union goons away. I did that, and passed out literature, in Northern Virginia.

45 Sefton, buddy - it was evil for SCOTUS to invent a right to infanticide.

You absolutely have a "right to privacy" in your own space. Please don't forget that the Constitution doesn't give anyone a right, it only says government should protect them.

Moreover, too many people forget the 9th amendment, which explicitly states you have all kinds of rights, and just because they aren't listed doesn't mean you don't have them.

You have the right to pick your own nose. It doesn't matter if the Constitution doesn't spell that out for you. Any cop who tries to make you stop deserves a bullet.

Point being, rectifying issues from 2020 is not necessarily going to prohibit a repeat in '24.

With the left it's an ongoing process... a war, until they're defeated. We are not there yet.

55 >>Perhaps they've learned new skills, or refined the ones they used last time.

Perhaps we did too.

Georgia passed a rule yesterday that mandates every prescient do a hand count of every ballot every day of the election to make sure they match the machine vote.

Comparing the situation around 2020 and now is silly. Trump was being hammered daily about the virus and taking all of the media wrath. Joe was hiding in his basement and the media was building a record for him. Mass mail in ballots were flooding the country.

Joe has a record now. And dementia. And Trump is being bolstered by a growing majority of people a large number of whom know the 2020 election was stolen. Biden never trailed in the RCP average of polls in 2020, now he's almost never been ahead and the margin is expanding, particularly in the swing states.

Some of us have been saying this all along, the goal is to build a lead that is too big to steal. Trump is pretty much there right now.

77 Democratic strategist James Carville, speaking Tuesday with CNN’s Anderson Cooper, warned Democrats about making an “idiotic choice” to stick with President Joe Biden as the party’s nominee while calling out their losing position. Carville appeared on “Anderson Cooper 360” to discuss his calls against having Biden remain in the 2024 race against former President Donald Trump. Cooper questioned Carville on his thoughts on some Democrats remaining by Biden’s side, as well as the veteran political strategist’s previous comments on how he believed Biden would drop from the race.

Mostly because we attempt to play within the confines of civilization like deferring to courts, legislation and the foolish expectation that entities that are formed, funded and empowered to do a particular function, actually will.

Its when we recognize that they drive a van full of illegal ballots to be "counted" that we set fire or disable the van before it gets there, when we will have a chance at breaking this assault on civilization.

82 (Sputnik) - An air defense missile that hit a children's hospital in Kiev was likely fired from a Norway-supplied NASAMS system, and Russia is waiting for a reaction from Oslo in this regard, Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Vassily Nebenzia said on Tuesday.

An analysis of open source evidence, as well as missile experts, have pointed to a Russian launched Kh-101 cruise missile being the weapon that struck a children’s hospital in Kyiv, debunking claims from pro-Russian accounts and actors that denied responsibility and sought to shift the blame for the incident on to Ukraine.

89 Watching Joe Biden take a daily pounding from fellow Democrats and former media co-conspirators is almost enough to make you feel sorry for him. Almost. The president’s house of cards is collapsing, and not just because he had “a bad night” at the debate. It’s collapsing because, as the late economist Herb Stein observed, “If something cannot go on forever, it will stop.” In this case, the “something” was a scam, a pretense that Biden was a healthy man qualified to tackle the most important and demanding job in the world. He never was.

Well of course not. The battle between good and evil, it's no longer red vs blue it's people who support American values and those who want to destroy them, has been going on forever and it won't magically stop with any election. But that doesn't mean we can win either.

There are a growing number of elected Democrats who are saying Trump isn't just likely to beat Biden it will likely be in a landslide. Bennett in CO and Tester in MT just yesterday. House Dems had a meeting yesterday to decide on whether to support Joe or call on him to step down and they could not reach a consensus. None of this happened in 2020. Democrats were confident they were going to win. Even the ones Ridin with Biden don't believe that now.

An addled Biden refusing to leave the race was not in their plans. A lot can happen in the next few months, they might still yank Joe or Trump might implode somehow but as of right now Trump is winning pretty big and the lead is growing.

96 For four years, Park quietly pursued a degree in human rights studies, attending the university’s campus, a shaded neoclassical oasis in uptown Manhattan. But after graduating in 2020, she returned to the spotlight with a different kind of defection story. The liberal establishment, she claimed, was morally debased, an indoctrination machine that threatened to transform America into a North Korea-style nightmare, with a mix of safe spaces, gender ideology and diversity initiatives — all flashpoints of the American culture war that conservatives have railed against for years. Park’s horror stories of her time in Columbia’s liberal gulag won her audiences with podcast hosts like Jordan Peterson and Joe Rogan, who have large — though not exclusively — conservative fan bases.
Park took things further in February, when she appeared on two of the most extreme programs in the MAGAsphere: Mike Lindell’s “Frank Clips” show and Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast.

111 The battle between good and evil, it's no longer red vs blue i

Its extremely important that you distinguish between voters and political leaders.

Those who seek power for power's sake gravitate to one or the other mostly because they are evil and need the party apparatus to cheat, steal and lie their way to power. If you are flat-out demonic you go through the D party mostly because you don't have to channel the underworld for guidance, you are already possessing your own crowd of demons or on the short list to obtain at least one.

In terms of the leadership:
Democrats hate America, Republicans have no love for America.

In terms of voting, its mostly blind loyalty, vanity, social pressure, where you sit on the Sado-Masochism continuum, ignorance, or for most "voters" that unused ballot that can be used at any time to promote 'D' criminals.

Like I've been saying, I hear Hillary cackling in the wings.

We're going into a abnormal time vortex where there are so many permutations of possible outcomes, that you could replay it 20 times and get 20 different outcomes, with seemingly little things making the difference.

I put low odds of Biden staying in place until the election, but he might. Higher odds that the Ds go with a late replacement with the ostensible reason being that Joe's simply gone senile and so is simply incompetent. You undererstand dear, these things happen with the elderly.

To counter this as the Ds look around at who they could run to replace Joe, no one would say that Hillary is incompetent.

But rather than act then they decided to let Joe go out and finish the 9th inning and get through the election. Just keep it close enough for the steal. Instead Joe is throwing meatball after meatball and the bullpen is in worse shape.

122 Don't see it mentioned with ctl+f, but yesterday Trump challenged Biden to a golf game for charity. IIRC said he'd spot him 10 strokes on the front 9 and 10 more on the back holes (which is pretty crazy already).

Dave in Fla pointed out that Biden claiming to be a better golfer than Tiger Woods in his prime was probably his biggest gaffe of the night because so many people understood what he claiming.

149 25th Amendment is difficult, it would be easier (and faster) to Impeach, from what I'm reading.

I also read something something about Biden has to stick it out to the convention where he formally becomes the nominee, before he can step down or resign, as this allows for campaign funds to go to Harris unimpeded.

Otherwise, they would have to refund some of the funds. Imagine, trying to get a refund from a Democrat, or leftist organization.

Lots of people talk about the 25th Amendment without knowing what it says. For example:

It also provides for the temporary transfer of the president's powers and duties to the vice president, either on the initiative of the president alone or on the initiative of the vice president together with a majority of the president's cabinet. In either case, the vice president becomes acting president until the presidential powers and duties are returned to the president.

So Kamala wouldn't actually be President and it would have no effect on the nomination whose enactment looms large in the minds of many.

Under Biden, we have a functioning government with an administration that knows what it's doing for the good of the American people. Under Trump, the government, for the most part, was run by people who either contributed to his party or agreed to everything he said.

I've been listening to Orthodox pastors on the "Lord of Spirits" podcasts, they make a distinction between worship and veneration (though that line is pretty fuzzy).

Their veneration requires an assumption of Divinity on Mary and the Saints. For example, one billion Roman Catholics, a very large number of Greek Orthodox.

*checks clock* Ok, no maths, but we are asking Mary to understand every spoken language, hear tens of thousands of simultaneous prayers 24/7, fully understand the context, emote over each one, then formulate a manipulative petition to Jesus Christ. Instead of just praying to Jesus Christ through the Paraclete like we are supposed to do.

She needs to be omniscient, omnipresent and near omnipotent to be effective in what this veneration expects. But she isn't deity.

What amazes me is there is zero recognition that Democrat policies are the cause. They think its all personal, and on Biden.

320 Old truism - Roman Catholics pay far too much attention to Mary, Protestants pay far too little.

As far as only following the Bible (Sola Scriptura) and not accepting the Catholic Church as the original Church, those have been fundamental tenets of all Protestant belief for 500 years. The only groups that tried to split the difference on those were Episcopalians and their Methodist offshoots, because they decided to hang onto the doctrine of Apostolic Succession, which most other Protestant denominations rejected.

About abortion, I'm a life absolutist. It's murder, pure and simple. If I could, I'd ban it.

However, I live in the USA. Dobbs is the best we're going to get, and that's a good thing. It's now up to us on the pro-life side to convince people individually, just like the global warming movement did. If we don't get a national, grassroots consensus on what life should be, we'll never get past this as an issue. We should probably end up at 15 weeks - like France - and fight the fight from there.

357 265 The oldest icon in the world, the Virgin of the Sign, shows Mary pregnant with Jesus, and her lands lifted in prayer. You can find that icon in the catacombs.

One of the oldest known Christian prayers, Sub Tuum Praesidium, goes back at least to the 200s:

We fly to thy protection,
O holy Mother of God.
Despise not our petitions in our necessities,
but deliver us always from all dangers,
O glorious and blessed Virgin.

The ancient Church fathers in the East and the West made a very big deal about Mary. They heaped honors on her for purity, humility, and obedience.

While abundant would be nice, do you have any evidence that the "very end" will be exactly two thousand years from the disputed date of our LORD's death and resurrection?

The Bible doesn't make "year" references, rather calling it "weeks" or "times" or in the prophecy of the Fall of Jerusalem says "this generation" - which in itself has no conversion unit expressed in years.

It's encouraging and infuriating equally to watch select Congressional Republicans submit acts and amendments to ensure election integrity and put a stop to funding the lawfare against political opponents.

And then you have to ask yourselves if the efforts of these few Republicans is even sincere or just more Failure Theater, which the GOP excels.
Meh! Gutting this party of money lenders and thieves, and attempting to replace them will accomplish nothing. I'm convinced they need to be destroyed, their upper echelon leadership tried for multiple crimes [looking at YOU, McConnell] and replaced with a REAL party of working and middle class Americans who care about their nation's heritage and will NEVER sell the United States to the highest bidder.

🚨#BREAKING: A Navy sailor had attempted to access President Biden's restricted medical records multiple times
📌#FortBelvoir | #Virginia
According to officials, a junior Navy sailor attempted to access President Biden's medical records from a military database three times in February but failed. The sailor, whose name remains undisclosed, faced administrative discipline following an investigation that concluded in late April. The sailor, part of the Navy's hospital corps based at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, accessed the Genesis Medical Health System on February 23 but did not retrieve President Biden's records. President Biden was informed of the attempted access shortly after White House staff were notified by the Defense Department. The sailor never reached the president's medical records and couldn't have accessed the information because it is restricted. The junior Navy sailor has since been disciplined.

Witness the vacillation of the Southern Baptists, the syncretism of secular culture, regional fads such as BLM/DEI, Dispensationalism, BAMN† conversions, Pet-a-palooza pet baptisms, worship-center and basketball arena architecture, etc.

The migrant moped gangs terrorizing the Big Apple are part of an illicit network of hoods peddling stolen goods from the five boroughs in Florida — and shipping the proceeds to South America, law enforcement sources told The Post.

“It’s much bigger than me,” accused migrant ringleader Franco Alexander Peraza Navas allegedly told the NYPD after getting nabbed for a string of local heists.

“In a million years, I never thought you’d catch me,” Navas, 30, allegedly told detectives. “I’ve been going to Miami every three weeks. And it’s much bigger than me.”

The Venezuelan migrant is allegedly part of a crew that has been linked to robberies throughout New York City, Yonkers, New Jersey and Florida — and tied to an illegal gun used in a Fort Lauderdale heist on Dec. 9, the sources said.

It's funny how the corporate media always tell us that Dem voters are more educated and affluent. And GOP voters are mostly just a bunch of ignorant rednecks.
But these ignorant rednecks have no problem with providing a valid id. And their highly educated and affluent voters just have so much trouble getting one.

427 The oldest icon in the world, the Virgin of the Sign, shows Mary pregnant with Jesus, and her lands lifted in prayer. You can find that icon in the catacombs.

One of the oldest known Christian prayers, Sub Tuum Praesidium, goes back at least to the 200s:

We fly to thy protection,
O holy Mother of God.
Despise not our petitions in our necessities,
but deliver us always from all dangers,
O glorious and blessed Virgin.

The ancient Church fathers in the East and the West made a very big deal about Mary. They heaped honors on her for purity, humility, and obedience.
Posted by: callsign claymore at July 10, 2024 09:05 AM (JcnCJ)

Okay, so story time.

Long ago when the ancient Church fathers in the East and the West decided what Christianity was and which books represented truth for the Bible.

it wasn't so simple. There was a very strong counter-belief to the one that Jesus was born of a human woman and God. And that was, that Jesus was all-God with no human connection, not a Son of Man.

So, the choice was made to emphasize the motherhood of Mary as, of course, Jesus' Mother. Because, thae4 fact that Jesus was both of Man and God was important to establish.

434 “Evangelicals have always had a fast and loose relationship with the Bible and core doctrines. “

The greatest strength and also weakness of evangelical and Protestant beliefs (and what is called Evangelical is really just a continuation of the Anabaptist movement that preceded Luther) is that it’s only unchangeable core doctrine is the Priesthood of the Believer. Every Believer is his own High Priest, speaking to God directly, and following what he or she believes God has directly communicated to them.

This protects from any central corruption, but allows much low level wackiness.

443 Entry level jobs were never envisioned to pay a "living wage" but generally wages have been stagnant since the early 1970s when adjusted for inflation.

The only reason to argue with a leftist is if there is a non-leftist (or even unknown affiliation) audience to watch it.

You will never convince a true believer and arguing with one is pointless. If there is an audience that might be convinced, however, that is when there may be a point to having the argument. You won't convince your opponent, but you don't need to. You may convince the bystanders.

So, asking for Mary to make a request of Jesus for you isn't without precedent.

I think it's illegals driving wages up, and thus reducing positions overall.

A teenager with his first job, a housewife looking to keep busy while the kids are at school, an old person making some extra pocket during retirement, etc. does need a $20/hr job. Juana with six kids does, and Juana competes with that teenager, that housewife, that old person because that is the level of Juana's skill.

So the state intervenes and dictates that the jobs Juana can do *must* pay a so-called "living wage." Wages go up, prices go up, number of positions go down. Higher inflation and lower opportunities for labor.

Could be something else, but I suspect the open border and anchor babies are a key driver of ludicrous low-skill minimum wages.

457 - Regarding the SBC and other large protestant organizations, many individual church bodies have left them and become independent due to their getting away from what Scripture teaches.

If by "this generation" you're referring to the parable of the fig tree in Matt 24, it is pointing to the generation that sees all of the signs He told the disciples to watch for up to that point. These include the abomination of desolation (vs 15) and the time of great tribulation.
The generation that sees all of those things will see His coming, the rapture of the church and the start of the Day of the Lord.

If people want Mary to put in a good word with her son and God the Father what's the problem? I think of it (intercessions) as your friends in heaven
Interceding for you in prayer just as you ask friends here to pray for you.

I'll say it again: Do you confess with your mouth and. believe in your heart that Jesus is Lord and God raised him from the dead.? Do you desire to be forgiven of your sins by the blood of Jesus?. Do you wish by the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit to-as much of possible/in this life to be transformed into the image of Christ ? Do you worship Father, Son and Holy Spirit? Do you pray? Do you treasure and learn from Scripture? Then you are a Christian and as Benjamin Franklin said in another context, "We must 2 hang together or most assuredly all hang separately.
Or as John Wesley said , "Is your heart as my heart, then give me your hand."

And for the people who assert I'm telling them what they "should feel about their RC faith, " Nope. I'm telling you what I feel about brotherhood in Christ

They argued that if we had UBI it would take care of people that couldn't work but that everyone else would just continue to work. I told them if UBI paid roughly what I make I'd quit tomorrow *any they would as well*. And if it doesn't pay a "decent" salary it is just another form of welfare.

467 Back in 1979, I was working as an usher for United Artists at a multiplex in Baltimore. The minimum wage was $2.90, and I earned every penny. . .

I thought about all this last month when I saw “Boyhood” at a theater in San Francisco. I bought the tickets from a machine that took my credit card and spit out a piece of paper with a bar code on it. I walked inside, and fed the paper into another machine, which beeped twice, welcomed me in mechanical voice, and lowered a steel bar that let me into the lobby. No usher, no cashier. I found the concession stand and bought a bushel of popcorn from another machine, and a gallon of Diet Coke that I poured myself. On the way out, I saw an actual employee, who turned out to be the manager. I asked him how much a projectionist was making these days, and he just laughed.
“There’s no such position,” he said. I just put the film in the slot myself and press a button. Easy breezy.” . .

'The Fight of His Life: Inside Joe Biden's White House'

Chris Whipple
Simon Schuster, Jan 17, 2023 - Biography & Autobiography - 416 pages
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Gatekeepers comes a revelatory, news-making look at how President Joe Biden and his seasoned team have battled to achieve their agenda—based on the author’s extraordinary access to the White House during two years of crises at home and abroad. January of 2021, the Biden administration inherited the most daunting array of challenges since FDR’s presidency: a lethal pandemic, a plummeting economy, an unresolved twenty-year war, and the aftermath of an attack on the Capitol that polarized the country. Waves of crises followed, including the fallout from a divisive Supreme Court, raging inflation, and Vladimir Putin’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.
