The Morning Report — 7/11/24

Good Morning Kids. Love is in the air. Former squeeze of Carlos Danger is now engaged to be married to the son of George Soros.

One can only ponder the comingling of this DNA, figuratively if not literally. Meh, it's Romanoffs and Battenberg/saxe-Coburgs 2.0.
As Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants' future as the Democrat standard-bearer circles the drain, will he suck those in his orbit as well as the Democrat Party in general down with him?

As I mused in yesterday's column, will the LIV crowd and perhaps reflexive-Democrat voters see Biden's decrepitude for what it represents: the criminality and complete moral vacuity of that entire party, as well as the media and cultural institutions that sustained it for not just the past almost four years but really for decades? Maybe that's too much to hope for. Deeply ingrained beliefs and worldviews are difficult to change, to say the least.

And yet, the dementia and soiled Depends don't necessarily penetrate the senses of the aforementioned more than a destroyed economy, erased borders, rampant crime and a world on the verge of all out war. Can Tina finally understand that Ike's fist in her face is not an expression of love.

Interesting poll showing that NY State of all places might be giving the Dems agita.
No, I don't expect the Empire State to flip to Trump come November, regardless of who the Dems have running, and yet if it forces them to have to waste resources on some place that is or should be in the bag for them, all the better. And you have to wonder about other solidly Democrat states (NJ? CT?) as well. Of course, the cheat machine is their insurance policy. Still, as I continue to ponder, if their base and their election machinery are still solid, then why all the panic about Biden in the first place? Why go through this public sturm und drang, even with a wholly owned propaganda machine. I can't figure that out.

Is there trouble in workers paradise on earth? Regardless, we are in for a bumpy ride. Until and way beyond November.

Trump’s post was ostensibly in support of the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which mandates proof of citizenship for voting in federal elections. This follows an earlier Truth Social post in February 2023, where Trump accused Zuckerberg of cheating in the election, citing a report that noted an investigation into Zuckerberg’s $2 million donation to a Georgia election board.Zuckerberg has continuously weaponized his companies against former President Trump and Republican candidates. The National Pulse reported shortly before the June 27 presidential debate that Zuckerberg’s Instagram was limiting users’ exposure to “political content.” Instagram had already imposed a requirement to “opt-in” to seeing political content, described in the app as content “likely to mention governments, elections or social topics that affect a group of people and/or society at large,” from users they do not follow.

“Regardless of where one stands on the question of Biden’s political future, the intra-party mixed messaging strikes me as deeply self-destructive,” he said. “Those publicly calling on Biden to withdraw should ask themselves a simple question: what if the [puppet vegetable] President becomes the Democrat nominee? The drip, drip, drip of public statements of no confidence only serve to weaken a President who has been weakened not only by the debate but also by the debate about the debate.”
Will Biden Take the Democrat Party Down With Him in November?
Two polls conducted in a swing New York House district in September and March found Trump leading Biden by one point, while other public polling conducted in recent months found Biden’s lead over the former president statewide shrunk to eight points, Politico reported. Biden won the state in the 2020 election by 23 points, but Democratic leaders are now reportedly urging his team to reallocate resources to boost both his campaign and the candidates running in swing districts.

I don't think landslides are functionally possible any longer, if Trump wins, it's going to be by the slimmest of margins and he's going to need some assist from a couple of Governors.

We always hear the reasons why people can’t move, but they should move and they should move now. Even if Trump wins, it’s going to be worse than the last time and I lived in a blue city the the last time and it was bad. They are going to resist they are going to riot, even if Trump wins.

I do doubt the election will be that close electorally. But the way conservatives have consistently been let down in this country and abroad I don’t trust anything anymore. It is great if you will crawl over glass to vote for Trump, but the key is to bring three other people with you.

https://tinyurl.com/3tt43jwj
Abedin “has three family members — her late father, her mother and her brother — connected to Muslim Brotherhood operatives and/or organizations.” It turns out, however, that Abedin herself is directly connected to Abdullah Omar Naseef, a major Muslim Brotherhood figure involved in the financing of al-Qaeda. Abedin worked for a number of years at the Institute for Muslim Minority Affairs as assistant editor of its journal. The IMMA was founded by Naseef, who remained active in it for decades, overlapping for several years with Abedin. Naseef was also secretary general of the Muslim World League in Saudi Arabia, perhaps the most significant Muslim Brotherhood organization in the world. In that connection, he founded the Rabita Trust, which is formally designated as a foreign terrorist organization under American law due to its support of al-Qaeda. . .

Some good comments at the link. Essentially:

No one is scared of a small group of American military and support staff, especially when they announce their presence for self-promotion and advertising purposes, and especially when they know they're not going to do anything.

A few hundred marines aren't invading Iran. A half dozen jets aren't attacking Hezbollah.

They're likely there to evacuate some state department / government assets if need be and that's it.

It turns out that the math behind EVs doesn’t compute.

I'm looking into a battery powered self propelled lawnmower. The math really works out well on that. I have a solar panel and battery storage to recharge the mower battery so zero cost for fuel. But even if I had to charge from home electric it would cost less then .25 cent per cutting. Currently I use about a gallon of $3.75 gasoline per week.

'Greenworks' makes some great batteries and battery propelled outdoor tools. But if you're getting older and have a tired internal combustion mower lie I do, it makes sense. I receive no remuneration for my endorsement.

19 More:
Specifically, Ms. Abedeen was affiliated with the Institute of Muslim Minority Affairs, where she was assistant editor of the Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs. The journal was the IMMA’s raison d’etre. Abedin held the position of assistant editor from 1996 through 2008 — from when she began working as an intern in the Clinton White House until shortly before she took her current position as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s deputy chief of staff. . .
Not long after the journal started, Naseef became the secretary general of the Muslim World League, the Saudi-financed global propagation enterprise by which the Muslim Brotherhood’s virulently anti-Western brand of Islamist ideology is seeded throughout the world, very much including in the United States. . .
The MWL manages the “civilization jihad” — the Brotherhood’s commitment to destroy the West from within, and to “conquer” it by sharia proselytism.

We've got a battery powered push mower. It sucks. I've replaced the batteries in it once already. Mrs fd likes it because it's easy for her to use. I would not own one otherwise.

Posted by: fd at July 11, 2024 06:42 AM

I've been using the same Greenworks 40 volt battery for five years in my pole trimmer, chain saw, and leaf blower. If I buy this mower I'll have another battery and it should run for an hour and a half before they need recharging. Their stuff is solid. I wouldn't risk it if they weren't.

Plus, I might be able to get the wife to do some grass-cutting for me. Press a button and it starts. Press another button and it starts moving.

I bought a Lowes house brand (Kobalt?) on massive clearance a couple of years ago entirely to allow the son to learn to cut the grass. It has been great and done the teaching job fine, but I doubt that the original $400 or would ever justify itself at regular purchase price unless you had other motivations like noise.

But I would recommend Kobalt if you're in the market. Probably easy to return if it's not suitable, too.

For sure, he has issues, but I don’t see the most common things I know about Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Most people deal with these things in their family and they are things they see up close. For sure, Biden has an illness, but his family themselves deny it. That is the big thing here it should be the family that recognizes it not us. In this case, it seems the family does not care.

If you’ve ever experienced Alzheimer’s up close, you would notice it in a second once you know what it is like you will never forget it. I’m not going to say whether he has it or not because I simply don’t see it exactly the way I have experienced it. When a guy goes up to another random stranger because he thinks he knows him that is a classic Alzheimer’s experience.

For sure, Biden has something there’s no question about that. But I’m not gonna say he Has Y just because I saw him on TV. It is obvious he has something, and even if he was in his best mind, he would still be horrible and we should still vote against him.

61 "A civic life shaped by Christianity" always begins prettily enough, and always ends with "And therefore you must do as I say."

The most pharisaical man I know recently demanded of his mother why she had no tattoos. I helpfully offered up Leviticus 19 on her behalf. His answer was that all those old laws were made up by pharisees, and only the New Testament matters. Then I had to say that the Ten Commandments don't appear in the NT, and he was fine with that. Yes, his son is gay -- why would you ask? And he's on a congregation's council, too.

'America's conflicts' are not political, ideological or religious.

Yeah, I think there are use scenarios where they make sense. A friend comes to borrow it to mow around his swimming pool because it's very precise and has a bagger and is easy to maneuver around obstacles. A half acre or so with a house in the middle? Probably perfect for that sort of thing.

We've got some land and no need for precision so ours doesn't get much use beyond "go do your chores."

That said, the battery powered weedeater is wholly inadequate for country life. It takes three batteries to do a proper job, and that would probably get you up into $700+.

76 Who knew being "crazy" and unpredictable could be a good thing? Especially after Trump had that mountain tunnel network full of Taliban/AQ baddies destroyed by a MOAB.

Last week Texas House Rep. Wesley Hunt recounted a story from Donald Trump’s negotiations with a Taliban chief that riffed off this quote. While discussing the conditions for an American withdrawal from Afghanistan, Trump said, “If you harm a hair on a single American, I’m gonna kill you.” Then he handed him a satellite photograph of the chief’s house, and walked out of the room. Not a single American died in Afghanistan during the following 18 months.

The lesson is, deterrence depends on credibility. The enemy whose behavior you want to change has to believe that lethal consequences will follow a warning if ignored. We have lost that credibility, and Joe Biden’s disastrous foreign policy blunders, and our weakened power of deterrence are the wages of that lost prestige.

Biden and his team are scolds. Worthless, weak scolds and lecturers.

I see a lot of that unraveling, at least the EU is more widespread and the new members aren’t interested in enhancing French political power. The reason the loss of Le pen Is so bad is the so-called conservatives in France that predated her were the ones who were the biggest fans of the EU and being a counterbalance to the US. I might’ve missed that, but I don’t think that was huge in Le Pen’s plans.

It's only after I got my portable solar panel and storage battery that I started 'doing the math' on how little electricity it took to recharge my 40 volt battery. The difference between a gallon of gasoline (under the Biden administration) and the mere pennies to recharge the battery was an eye-opener.

I plug the battery and charger in with the battery at 98% capacity and when it was finished it had dropped down to 91% capacity. At my electric costs the battery holds .40 cents worth of electricity. Seven percent of .40 cents is peanuts.

I still think that EV cars are bad idea, especially in my climate zone. But other stuff is starting to make sense, even save money after a few years. If people can cut a half acre lawn for about five cents of electricity, that's a pretty big deal.

Sorry, again have to dispute a notion here.

India has never been our friend or ally. Their military consists mostly Russian designed and produced stuff, they regularly oppose western values and are doing everything they can to oppose American policy. We supported Pakistan in a war against them. They started BRICS and the non-aligned movement. They want our help opposing China, that's it. Screw them and the call centers they run to steal money from American grandmothers.

The reality is a lot of people that should not be voting will be voting in this election. I guess our side has tried to stop that, but in most cases they have failed. I saw the red wave a couple years ago collapse. I saw 2016 when Trump voters had to show up so he could put forward all of his plans and they did not.

I hope we are winning and I hope we win in a landslide. But seeing what I have seen in the last 10 or 20 years, I’m not predicting anything.

I’m no theologian but my understanding is that the Christian understanding is that God’s moral law as given in the Pentateuch should be followed by a disciple of Christ but that the ceremonial law (sacrificing of animals etc) no longer applies since Christ was the ultimate sacrifice. Paul in Romans 6 basically says: just because you’ve received grace doesn’t mean you can keep sinning.

The tricky part I suppose is trying to figure out which parts of the Old Testament are ceremonial vs moral…

The box said there were 500 votes, but when they opened it there were only 50. That is a typical Democrat cheat.

The erosion of black voters to Trump is a disaster for the Democrats because those people will actually vote. That is why we got so many illegal aliens. The Dems saw that coming and are using the illegals to make up their plausible fraud numbers.

184 The black vote for Republicans always disappoints. If you go back over several elections Republicans have gained in the polls, but what happens at the actual ballot box is less than that.

They are saying we are winning Hispanics and that is possible but how hard are they going to vote? Are they going to vote like a maga voter? If we are simply exchanging Hispanic votes and black votes for white suburban, women who is exactly more likely to vote? I know what I think and I know we better bust our ass to get out the vote because a lot of the groups not just the ones I’ve mentioned are often among the less likely voters. It was normal in the past for Democrats to be less likely to vote, but now I think it’s more likely for a lot of the people that Trump has brought in to be more likely, Unlikely voters.

187 God's lesson for all of history up until the death of Jesus on the cross was this:

You can not perform works to make yourself righteous in the eyes of God. Adam, Enoch, Seth, Enoch, Methuselah, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jocob, Levi, Moses- were ALL sinners before there was the Law, and were all deemed righteous before God by his sovereign grace.
With the law, these very specific directions on how to make yourselves righteous, no man was ever able to follow them. Because immediately after a sacrifice, the mind wanders to sin, and new atonement is required.
Only the death of Jesus was sufficient to atone for the sin of man.

215 The black vote for Republicans always disappoints. If you go back over several elections Republicans have gained in the polls, but what happens at the actual ballot box is less than that.

Trump did well with black voters nationwide 8 to 12% in 2020 - except in the 4 cities that swung the election; Atlanta, Philly, Detroit and Milwaukee. Where he got a sum total of zero votes.

Of course that is so statistically improbable that you are more likely to grow green gossamer wings and fly to the moon on them.

There's likely no "erased" involved. I would bet real life money that, if there was any way for it to be investigated and disclosed, less than 10% of what they report as turnout actually voted.

The voters in these areas can't read, write, or feed their families. They're not suddenly becoming civic-minded every four years.

Countries like the US are too big with far too many interests in a variety of ways for us ever to have permanent allies or friends. Our allegiance is to our people and then to people who benefit our people. Anything else is romantic bs.

We've spend decades since WWII in various degrees of hostility with Russia and look at where we are today. And that can largely be tied to our relationship with NATO. We should be looking for ways to peacefully coexist with Russia not antagonize them and war should only be a last resort not a strategic weapon for wealth.

They played down the Christian church and shockingly births declined. The French have always believed that they had a particular influence in the Middle East and North Africa and for that For that, they got millions and millions of immigrants from those places.

I think the French wanted to have a region that they had more control of or more influence on than America and for many years that was correct. But now there is a significantly Muslim Percentage of French citizens and adding that to the number who are already anti-Semitic you have a real problem.

304 I think there is a lot of BS in the polling, it allows for higher revenues for news outlets when elections are "close", and allows for plausible cheat margins.

They've been 50/50 for 20 years now, since the widespread advent of electronic voting machines, mostly. I don't know how they do it, but I've long suspected they have queered the elections for a long time. Americans have their share of stupid people like anyplace else, but it strains credulity that the political cycle, the ebb and flow that is characteristic has been repealed. Outside of the large metro areas, leftists should have a bounty on their head, they are that toxic to normal, decent peaceable people from all walks of life.

I'd argue that they didn't.

The privatization of East Germans public property was certainly troubled and corrupt, but in large part, they acquiesced to letting Western firms asset strip the entire "country" in return for discharging its debts and repurposing whatever was salvageable. East German share of Germany's GDP consequently doubled over the last 30 years, and now sits at around 80% of the West's.

By contrast, the Russians just whacked it all up and handed it off to crony oligarchs who could be counted upon to kowtow to the Kremlin - consequently, 30- some years later, one of the world's largest industrialized countries has a GDP smaller than the state of Texas.

Their thing was not an attempt at capitalism. Just a gangster snowjob.

I guess you didn't read the rest of what I wrote.

You can murder as much as you want to. But your desire to murder is 0. But even then, because we are all sinners, as Paul spends unlimited time explaining, Gods forgiveness is limitless.

If a saved person sins, what greater atonement can be made than what has already been offered in the death of Christ?

God does not make distinctions in sin, and even the thought of sin is the same as committing the act. Not me saying that, God says so in the scriptures. Think about lusting after your neighbors wife, murder, all sin. All the same. All are forgiven. But for the saved, your desire to do so is 0. And if you are out there living a life of sin, you probably just mouthed the magic words and thought you were in the club.

It’s a caricature of hard core Calvinism, but many churches have had knock down drag out fights about the idea of “once saved always saved.” I grew up very Conservative Lutheran , and the Lutheran take on this was “it’s sinful to think you’re saved for good, you could lose it any day, in fact you’re so close to losing it that you need to be on your knees begging Gods forgiveness for the things you do every single day.”

353 Project 2025 is good, actually - by Jordan Schachtel

https://bit.ly/3xOIhpj

- On the policy front, here’s a speed overview (and some commentary) of what Project 2025 stands for, from what I’ve gathered via some quick research.
- Rejecting the climate narrative and embracing reliable forms of energy
- Rolling back government interventions in the economy and lowering taxes
- Mixed bag on tariffs policy.
- Defunding leftist propaganda in academia
- Minimizing the power of the administrative state and its bureaucrats, and bringing forward initiatives to make it easier to fire them
- Mixed bag on foreign policy, rallying around the idea of maintaining American qualitative military superiority.
- Reforming but not eliminating entitlement programs.
- "Arresting, detaining, and removing immigration violators anywhere in the United States."
- Taking on the DEI & ESG agenda in schools and the workplace.
- Reforming, but not necessarily eliminating, several three letter agencies
- "Enact the most robust protections for the unborn that Congress will support."
- Getting climate hoax policy out of transportation and infrastructure initiatives

This Daily Show focus group of Black New York voters did not go as planned. Half of the focus group (3 out of 6) said they would vote for Trump:
"We're an even split. I didn't see that coming."
"I think there's going to be a big shift. I've always been a Democrat. For the most part with the Democrat party, they always make a bunch of promises that they can't deliver."
"They use the issues of the African American community as a soapbox to stand on, and make promises just to get us to come out to vote."

It was a lovely country, with great food, and good folk.

But, man, their history is a pretty clear rhyme from the past that we're about to see in Europe, esp France..

The muslims basically conquered Spain in five years and stayed for roughly 8 centuries. Churches were destroyed or converted into mosques then when the Christians finally drove out the muslims, they returned the favor and convert mosques into churches and/or castles.

Those 8 centuries left Spain a bit cucked with regard to islam. And it's happening again, in real time.

Weird it's its own way cuz the history of it all is right before there eye every day.

I don't think it's inappropriate for an elected official to do that in his home state. Yes, I know there's probably a political calculus behind it, but if he didn't show up he would be accused (also out of political calculus) of not caring. So he might as well show up and maybe make some of his constituents feel better.

Harris, Newsom, Schiff, Raskin, Swalwell, AOC, Lieu, Shapiro, and Witmer. Hell of a starting nine.

I wouldn't say Abrams is a rising star. She is great with GOTV, but sadly I don't know at this stage if she will hold a state or government elected position. Beto is the same.

winning a general, you only have pritzker or newsom, period. we live in a racist country and we'll only have white straight male presidents for the next 20 years until the boomers and gen xers that can't stomach a gay man kiss their husband on tv or a watch a black woman command a bunch of white generals die off. I hope i'm wrong but with the electoral college in place that's the way it's going to be.

Are you ignoring 8 years of Obama?

Obama was a generational gift, half white and was extremely eloquent.

She said, among other things, that Biden should hire a food taster. So we have two candidates, both of whom the Democrat establishment would like to assassinate. Interesting times.

She also nailed it on abortion; destroying the narrative of the wets. And here again, though strictly sound himself, Harsanyi just believes what the standard narrative is about pro lifers. She stomped on that.

For some time Mollie has been my top choice among the punditry (sorry, Ace.) Her one weakness is the belief that there was a time when journalism was honest.

Unlike the West where decades of corruption have seen governments shovel money at their pet oligarchs allowing them to buy up more companies and expand to more sectors of the economy thereby accomplishing the same thing.

500 Why did none of these people succeed in 2020?
Biden was rambling back then, and yet Buttigeig, Harris, Abrams all bombed.

Biden wasn't chosen by The People.

As I'm often pointing out, Trump was impeached in July of 2019 for "investigating his opponent".

How did they know Joe was going to be his opponent? No one else seemed to.

506 >>"My mother's support for Trump divided our family, but i found a chink in her MAGA armor." Well, at least it's preferable to "People talk about their reasons why they are no longer Christans." Yawn! and I didn't click on either.

Oof!
Saw an article yesterday about a fat gal (her term of choice) who's written a book blaming it on Christian oppression: "Fat Church."

510 If Weiner hadn't been caught in Memorial Day Weekend 2011 - most likely if he'd waved his lil' Weiner at an actual honeypot - we could be looking at him as a candidate about now.
The House is too small for his straining schvanz so Weiner becomes Senator in 2014, replacing that lightweight and blatant placeholder Gillibrand. Or Mayor of New York (not Governor, the Cuomos keep that).
Hillary of course runs in this timeline. If she wins (b/c butterfly effect) she's either there 2017-21 or else she's there now.
2024 is Weiner's time to shine. To really let it all out there.

512 I've been wondering why we havens heard anything from top military staff that interact with Biden and their concerns about his dementia. I know they cannot openly criticize the president but you would think at a least few may have whispered something to journalist or congressional leaders or some prominent blogger. Decorum and tradition never stopped the stories about Trump being leaked but not one I can think of about dementia Joe. Are they completely on-board and/or terrified of the Dems?

Edward Mezvinsky, a former U.S. Representative and felon. In 2001, Mezvinsky pleaded guilty to 31 of 69 felony charges of bank fraud, mail fraud, and wire fraud. Before the indictment was handed down, his 2nd wife, Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky, then a broadcast journalist, wrote to President Clinton requesting a pardon for her husband. He declined.

From 1993 to 1995, Margolies was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, representing Pennsylvania's 13th congressional district. Reportedly, she cast the deciding vote in favor of President Bill Clinton's 1993 budget proposal.

In 2010, their son, Marc, married Chelsea Clinton in a lavish wedding.

Accounts of both Ed & Marjorie, Wikipedia. (Look for 'Nixon impeachment' bonds, too, more commonality with in-laws.)

517 Whitmer’s most recent statement came as actor George Clooney wrote an op-ed withdrawing his support of Biden as the Democrat Party’s nominee, weeks after holding a fundraiser for him.

Whitmer and the Democrats in Michigan have also fortified Michigan for whoever is the Democrat candidate in 2024 and for the foreseeable future with the recent bill signed into law.

https://bit.ly/4f1Uurh

NEW: Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signs bills into law stopping recounts based on allegations of election fra*d.

Whitmer has stripped the Board of Canvassers of its investigative authority. Any election fra*d claims now go to a county prosecutor, who will undoubtedly bury the case.

A recount now is only carried out in cases where there are purported 'mistakes' that have the potential to alter the outcome of the election.

It also revises numerous rules for clerks, raises the deposit to file a recount petition, and alters the guidelines for election law violations.

485 Didn't realize, NATO has had ten (10) meetings within the past year. Seems a tad frivolous between shindig expenses and pollution.

The current meeting seems to be paying homage to Biden, for the past & also for absolutely ensuring its future. Lots of theater, here, there, everywhere.

But there's only have a week or so until PDT announces his VP selection at the convention, exactly what the huddled masses are waiting for. And then it's go time.

They're down to weeks to reveal their full plan & get it into place.

Heaven help us.
