The Morning Report — 9/25/24

blinkenhaiti.jpg

Good Morning Kids. So, is it so shocking that Kalorama Harris comes right out and declares she's going to do away with the filibuster in order to reinstate legalized infanticide throughout the land?

One of the things Democrats warn voters about Trump is that if he is elected, it will be the end of democracy. However, today, Kamala Harris revealed that it is she who wants to do away with one of the most important democratic norms in America: the filibuster. Ostensibly, it’s to return unlimited abortion to America, but the reality is that if she wins the White House and Democrats control Congress, America becomes a one-party nation...forever.

The Senate authorized the filibuster over 200 years ago, in 1806, and it was first put into effect in 1837. Its purpose is to allow a minority to invoke the filibuster to keep a bill from being voted upon unless three-fifths of the Senate’s members invoke cloture. This prevents majority rule by forcing a broad agreement on bills that will have a profound effect on America. . .

. . . Only recently, as they’ve become more radicalized, have Democrats, when in the majority wanted to do away with the filibuster. Their primary goals are to pack the Supreme Court and add Puerto Rico and D.C. as states. (That the Constitution theoretically bars D.C. from becoming a state is irrelevant if you control the Supreme Court). Once they do that, they will have achieved permanent control over the government, and the Constitution will be a dead letter. . .

. . . But the one thing you can say about Democrats is that, unlike Republicans, they never give up. And so it is that Kamala is once again urging people to vote for her and a Democrat Senate so that Democrats can end the filibuster. This time, Kamala’s using her biggest strength in the campaign to make that argument: She says she’ll reverse the Dobbs decision and reinstate Roe v. Wade. That is, reversing the filibuster will set in motion taking abortion from the states and returning it to the feds. It’s 1973 all over again:

Emphasis above mine. That's because it's not necessarily about the particular issue so much as it is about the attainment of absolute power while at the same time completely destroying the nation, culture, heritage and society in the process.

Given the fact that, there is a real perception that Trump has a shot (no pun) at actually pulling out a win come November, all this blather about restoring Roe reeks of desperation in trying to energize a base that by some accounts is losing significant support from a number of key constituencies of its base. Are there enough AWFLs and other women out there who believe that killing a child in utero for whatever reason is a personal health choice and/or a civil right that must be protected, to overcome not only sane people who at a bare minimum believe there should be at least some restrictions on it as well as blacks, latinos, blue collar workers and everyone else who is fed up with intentionally imported foreign savages gutting and eating their pets in public, along with raping, murdering and robbing them and their loved ones while sacking the treasury.

Yes gentle reader, I know Rush Limbaugh of blessed memory lamented the fact that people's eyes glazed over with talk about debts and deficits, yet this headline is going to hit home sooner or later:

The presidential campaign season is once again turning politicians into pandering game show hosts, promising voters huge tax cuts and spending expansions with no regard to the debt crisis these policies will accelerate.

Budget deficits are set to exceed $2 trillion this year — despite relative peace and prosperity — and then surge to $4 trillion within a decade under current policies.

For the first time since the end of World War II, the federal debt will top 100% of the gross domestic product.

The impending completion of the Biden-Harris junta brings an opportunity to assess their role in these rising deficits.

That is insane. Couple that with the expansion of a vast welfare state to accommodate tens of millions of foreign peasants on top of the millions already here and our own, sadly, native layabouts and welfare queens and leeches, while we complete the destruction of our manufacturing base with overregulation and taxation on top of the dismantling of the fossil fuel/petrochemical industry that drives prosperity and growth, along with the brainwashing of yet another generation of children to be nothing more than drones and slaves to big government. Hello Obama's Julia, remember her?

Meanwhile, evidently someone took a pot shot at Kamala campaign offices in Tempe Az. Do I get to say, like Democrats said about Trump that the nation would be better off if the shooter succeeded? Just asking?

Speaking of Haitians, and some cognitive dissonance for those who claim all this talk about roasting park geese and pet cats in Springfield Ohio is fake news and racist propaganda.

“DO NOT TRAVEL” blares the red warning at the top of the State Department page.

Things you’re not supposed to do in Haiti, per the U.S. government, if you ignore the BLARING RED warning and go anyway:

“Using any kind of public transportation or taxis.” 
“Visiting banks and using ATMs.”
“Driving at night.”
“Traveling anywhere after dark.” 
“Traveling without prior approval and special security measures in place.”

. . . It’s unclear how the governing authorities can square these two simultaneous claims: Haiti is a dystopian hellhole where wanton violence is so rampant that even visiting the country is an existential threat; and, tens of thousands of Haitians imported overnight into the Midwest is actually a bounty from the benevolent Diversity™ gods and any claims of adverse social effects are conspiratorial hatespeech.


Well, with Israel doing the 100% right thing by telling Biden and Blinken to gey-kock-in-yom und vayr ge-hargit, and not agree to slit their own throats by letting Hamas and Hezbollah do the slitting and drive them into the sea. it looks like Blinken is being set up to be the fall guy, in order to mitigate any chance of losing Michigan and/or Minnesota in November. And as a bonus, Blinken's a Jew (albeit a self-gasser, but still).


Any travel bans on Springfield Ohio? or anywhere else for that matter. like Chicago???

Chicago gang members and ex-convicts are warning of coming violent turf wars with newly arrived Venezuelan migrants who are part of the notorious gang Tren De Aragua, or TDA. 

Not unlike other cities across the country, Chicago has been inundated with migrants as the border crisis rages on. Since 2022, an estimated 48,000 migrants have come to the city, with the majority of new migrant arrivals hailing from Venezuela

“When the black gangs here get fed up with the illegalities and criminal activities of these migrants or non-citizens, the city of Chicago is going to go up in flames and there will be nothing the National Guard or the government can do about it when the bloodshed hits the streets,” Tyrone Muhammad, an ex-con and former gang member, told the New York Post. “It’ll be blacks against migrants.”

Can you say anarcho-terrorism? Things could get interesting come Election Day. Should Trump come close to winning or actually pull out a win, there is no way the Deep State and Junta will let him sit behind that Resolute Desk.

If two assassination attempts, plus Kangaroo courts and Shampeachments after a stolen election via the Fauci-created Chinese Lung Aids lockdowns doesn't convince you, what will?

As they did during the last presidential election, the powers that be will use any means necessary — and all means available — to maintain power and deny President Donald Trump a second term. That could mean using some sort of emergency as a justification to violate the Constitution and postpone the election.
“If they think that there’s a chance that Trump could win decisively enough in November that they can’t steal it, then I think their only option there is to in some way throw the society into chaos,” Tucker Carlson said. “It’s pretty simple. If they feel like they’re going to lose, we will have some kind of crisis.

Have a great day.

Democrats have weaponized the federal government against conservatives and anyone else who threatens Democrat power, and Obama and Joe Biden have used their presidential bully pulpit to tell the world that we're terrible people for opposing them. Millions of Democrats voted for Biden for reelection in the 2024 primaries, yet the party subverted democracy by pushing him out and installing Kamala Harris — who not only didn’t win any delegates this year but didn’t win any when she ran in 2020 — as the nominee. And Harris is giving us a clear idea of what she wants to do with “our democracy.”

    Maybe consider it for tomorrow's defense, military section as the loss of this capability has massive ripple effects in fleet warfare operations.

    Specially in that area of the world.

    11 tically bars D.C. from becoming a state is irrelevant if you control the Supreme Court). Once they do that, they will have achieved permanent control over the government, and the Constitution will be a dead letter. . .

    I'm not motivated by the threats that the Constitution is a dead letter. It has been for several decades. I'm done mourning.

    What we have is a progressively hostile Marxist dictatorship. Its already one party rule in the guise of a philosophically pfuqued up version of Plato's Republic. CoViD-1984 should have proved that to you.

    When they say that Trump is a threat to democracy, the Left has changed the language to mean that Trump is a threat to the Administrative state and its Philosopher Kings having arbitrary and increasingly sadistic tyrannical rule.

    12 >>That California politicians like Kamala Harris have succeeded in selling open borders to the American people as necessary to solve the twin crises of “climate” and “equity” is a con job for the ages.

    They didn't really sell anything, they're just doing it, and because open borders is also part of the DNA of the GOPe, nothing is done about except some whining and kabuki theater.

    The country is well on it's way to becoming a hispano-asian sh*thole with a smattering of various other barbarians from far flung locales.

    16 Let this sink in as Democrats try to use the unfounded fear of a federal abortion ban as an issue. Right now there are organizations funded by Democrats trying to undermine laws and constitutions in every state that does not allow the most insidious abortion procedures. That is, they won’t attack it at the federal level because they don’t need to. They are attempting to undermine the states rights and their residents will in every state who opposes them.

    However, today, Kamala Harris revealed that it is she who wants to do away with one of the most important democratic norms in America: the filibuster.

    The Senate is in a separate branch of government and makes its own rules (Article I, Section 5). What Queen Kammie can do about it is minimal.

    23 Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. (1 John 2:4-6)

    I think we need to be careful with that passage. Once the concept of Election and the enlightenment of the Paraclete as to who is the Messiah has been replaced with a free will theism: choose "Christ" first, CosPlay as a Christian second, optionally party until the ecstasy of the Holy Spirit enters later, you end up with a plush toy Genie Jesus or whatever projection comes to mind as to who the Christ one follows is.

    John describes this in his letters (which hardly ever get preached for very obvious reasons)

    When you choose your Christ/Adventure, there will be people who are sincere and serious in this apparition in varying ways and intensities since the whole experience is conjured up from the influence of the environment and culture.

    ------
    A number of us here have been warning of just this. There is zero love lost between established black gangs (or any other demographic gang) and these migrant gangs from Central and South America. Issues started to bubble over back in the late winter/early spring when thousands of the illegals started to show up in traditional, blue shit-hole ghettos. And then went straight to the front of the free shit lines.

    And got "better free shit" than the welfare kings and queens had been getting.

    City governments were warned months ago that this would lead to violence. They did what all our governments seem to do; they ignored the public anyway.

    38 Speaking of Haitians. From the Tech thread.

    A pack of allegedly cat eating and apparently noncitizen Haitians are brining criminal charges of aggravated menacing, complicity, telecommunication harassment, making false alarms, and disrupting public services against Trump and Vance in the Clark County Municipal court. Springfield, OH is located in this particular Clark County. Under this seemingly bizarre law the Municipal Judge is required to issue arrest warrants or refer the matter to a prosecutor in response to this criminal complaint.

    Yeah, It's nuts. Not a little nuts. Complexly nuts.

    46 That is, they won’t attack it [ Right to Life ] at the federal level because they don’t need to.

    The nationwide practice of human sacrifice has a history that tracks back to expulsion from The Garden. Abortion is just the socially acceptable name for it today. The people who champion this offering to the demons are people who put the Auschwitz into Lebensunwertes Leben (Life unworthy of life).

    For men or for those who can no longer conceive or bare children, the "fight" for abortion is a way of sacrificing to their gods, that is the fight itself is its own demonic communion.

    In a practical politics perspective, they need the fight to continue, like government programs, you can't "win" because then the game and the money stops or the front in the battle must shift and the goals must shift likewise.

    Abortion is special because it is typical government grift married to actual demonic worship.

    The illegal Haitians are hired because they're receiving benefits from the feds. The companies don't have to pay for insurance and such, and IIRC there's some sort of financial subsidy as well.

    If it's that or having to pay an American full wages and insurance, the illegal Haitians are going to win every time.

And as a bonus, Blinken's a Jew (albeit a self-gasser, but still).

    I strongly agree that Israel is doing the right thing, but I wouldn't characterize Blinken as a set up fall guy. He fucked up in Ukraine too, and we have the Pentagon to thank from stopping the plan to allow the man Ace calls "the Borscht Belt Belligerent" from sending missiles deep into Russia and triggering an attack on the US or Britain. If he was the slightest bit interested in being a "statesman" he'd have encouraged Zelensky to honor his promise to heal the rift with Russian speakers in the east and end the bombing in the Donbas. The goal was and remains to break up Russia. The EU shitheels have been pretty forthcoming about this. Perhaps the EU needs dismantling?
    Blinken is no innocent fall guy, and neither is Mayorkas, Garland or Austin.

    By and large, they can't. That is one of the side effects of the COVID response. Putting the teacher right into kids' living rooms where their parents could see shook confidence more than mushrooming costs and collapsing outcomes ever could.

    "White Flight" never existed and never happened. It was a misnomer, and likely a deliberate one. What happened in those places was not "white flight," but rather was "middle class flight." Doesn't roll off the tongue so well, does it? Doesn't stoke the racial fires, either.

    Yeah, a ton of white people fled those places. So did lots of blacks and Asians. It wasn't racially-motivated. Responsible people with something to lose pulled up stakes and got the hell out of Dodge regardless of color.

    It was *never* what the commentators and politicians claimed it was. It still isn't. Lurking just under the surface of today's vehement official anti-white racism is a contempt and hatred of mainstream middle-class values.

    They can punish the lobbyists who guarantee that they have to "teach" nonsense and kowtow to corrosive external influences. All they have to do is leave the union. Even if they're not in a right-to-work state, they can *still* leave the union and clawback any dues not used directly for collective bargaining by demanding a rebate. They can form alternate lobbying efforts to counter it when their union backs radical school board members and floods them with cash.

    Yes, but that usually doesn't mean "be in the union, or don't get a pension." For a union-operated pension scheme (not unusual in the trades), that will be the case, but usually not for a company (or employer)-operated pension. This is one of the arguments behind closed shops and against "right to work" schemes. "You get to benefit from the collective bargaining and retirement agreements, even if you don't pay. Non-membership presents a 'free rider' problem that must be curtailed."

    Which is how the compromise happened. If you don't want to be in the union, you can demand your dues back if they are *not* used for collective bargaining purposes. Most unions spend comparatively little on collective bargaining.

    Is it? That would be very unusual for an employer-operated pension, which government pensions almost always are.

    Besides, this is one of the reasons for the compromise scheme of clawing back dues. You can be in the union and still demand that every penny not used for collective bargaining be returned to you at the end of the year. Almost nobody does it.

    The Harris-Walz campaign is running an ad in Pennsylvania claiming to depict two ordinary Pennsylvanians who are former Trump supporters and lifelong Republicans turned off by January 6th and Charlotesville, and now voting for Kamala Harris.

    After doing some research I found information on these two individuals, whose names are Robert Lange and Kristina Chadwick. Both are trained actors, film producers, and farmers who recently debuted a film called "Hayride to Hell" at the far-left CentreFilm Festival in State College, PA in 2023 which featured films about interracial gay fathers who find themselves raising a child after one of the dad's becomes a widower, and another about the struggle of illegal immigrants.

    Lange and Chadwick who co-own Sugartown Strawberries in Malvern, PA and Bob Lange serves as the chair of the three member Willistown Township, Chester County Board of Supervisors. They are prolific regular donors to DEMOCRATS for over a decade.

    Chadwick who at the time listed her employer as Arden Theatre Co. donated twice to ActBlue in 2016. Lange is a prolific donor to Democrats including Bob Casey, John Fetterman, and Hillary Clinton back in 2016.

    Teacher’s pensions are state sponsored and not managed by the union. The employer (state) and employee (teacher) pay into it, not the union. Being a member has no bearing on the pension paying out on retirement.

    Trade unions can be different if the pension is managed by the union and the employer is not involved.

    Growing leads in Hispanics, African Americans and women will likely provide more numbers as the weeks pass and more evidence of Trump and Vance misogyny, more racism and xenophobia, and more evidence of the impact of ending Roe come to light.

    More evidence as you provide no evidence and the only impact of Roe is personal responsibility and American population growth, naturally.

    264 Ah, but that's the point. You can be an employee in the system but you're not getting the teacher pension because you're not in the union.
    -

    Teacher’s pensions are state sponsored and not managed by the union. The employer (state) and employee (teacher) pay into it, not the union. Being a member has no bearing on the pension paying out on retirement.

    Trade unions can be different if the pension is managed by the union and the employer is not involved.

    The Millennials are more or less a monolith. You can just assume, "progressive or goes with the prog flow" and move on. You won't be right 100% of the time, but you'll be right often enough that it doesn't matter.

    The Zoomers do not appear to be. They're bifurcated. It was to be expected. They grew up under prog dominance. Youthful rebellion and rejection of social rules more or less demands that the rebels be non-prog. They don't have to be "conservative" in the old sense, but seeing a big opposition to the status quo is normal, and the progs are the status quo.

    It won't result in a breakdown, though. The Zoomers are a small generation.

    275 >>2. The idea that there isn't enough messaging to tell people that Trump is racist at this point just tickles me. These people are silly and unserious.

    I think there is an awakening, not wokening, happening with a lot of people lately. A lot of the standard bullshit thrown at Republican candidates over the years like racist and anti-worker aren't working against Trump.

    It's often talked about that Trump has remade the Republican Party into the party of the working man with record numbers of minority votes whereas Democrats have become the party of the elite and they have completely ignored the needs and desires of their former base but nobody seems to understand that means the old slurs won't work any longer.

    If Trump is so racist why are minority voters flocking to him? If he is so anti-worker why are unions declining to endorse Harris because their membership is pro-Trump?

    In many ways the parties really have flipped this time.

    300 The good news is that it is impossible to get rid of actual filibusters. That's just how the Senate works. People get confused because we haven't had a filibuster for many decades. What happens nowadays is that a vote is held to deny the ability to filibuster. If that vote fails, it is assumed that someone would filibuster, and the bill is set aside in order to continue with other business. I'm not sure bringing back real filibusters would be a bad thing. It would certainly make our Senators work harder, and it would discourage using the threat of a filibuster as routinely as it's done today.

    'Shady MAGA Extremist Sam Brown Limps Into General Election After Nasty Primary' Jun 11, 2024

    In very small part, limited to some bullet points regarding abortion:

    Sam Brown’s past coupled with his toxic positions will guarantee his loss come November:

    -Brown supported Texas’s 20-week ban on abortion which did not provide exceptions for rape or incest.

    - Brown was the chairman of the Nevada Faith And Freedom Coalition which supported a wide range of anti-choice legislation, including total abortion bans, eliminating abortion protections, and restrictions on abortion medication.

    Placing the first bullet point aside for a moment, I also bring to your attention that Sam Brown (military) does have a Wikipedia page.

    Returning to abortion, a decent reference looks to be KKF org, i.e., "A Closer Look at Rape and Incest Exceptions in States with Abortion Bans and Early Gestational Restrictions" Published: Aug 07, 2024

    Lots to read there, a few bullet points:
    - Rape and incest exceptions to state abortion bans or gestational limits are often restricted to abortion early in pregnancy.
    - Most rape or incest exceptions require involvement of law enforcement, which can restrict abortion access for those who have become pregnant as a result sexual assault.

    "IT IS ESTIMATED that only 21% of sexual assaults are reported. Survivors are often afraid to report sexual violence to the police due to fear of retaliation and the belief that law enforcement would not do anything to help."

    303 Back to the KFF article:
    "Medicaid coverage for abortion care may be inaccessible, even for enrollees who qualify for a rape or incest exception. Although the federal Hyde Amendment requires state Medicaid programs to cover abortions in cases where the pregnancy resulted from rape or incest, many state Medicaid programs impose pre-authorization requirements and medically unnecessary restrictions."

    - Few people have accessed abortion care under the rape or incest exceptions to state abortion bans.
    (See) Table 1 - Gestational Limits and Reporting Requirements in Rape and Incest Exceptions to Abortion Bans

    My point is, FACTS are what counts & there's an absence of info.

    Do the states in Table 1 have trained & adequate #s of Sexual Assault Nurses?

    Can Plan B still be administered in cases of PROMPT reporting? Do medical interventions in sexual assault focus on prevention of unwanted pregnancy and STDs?

    >See: CDC, Sexually Transmitted Infections Treatment Guidelines, 2021

    306 Meanwhile, the Harris-Walz campaign is silent on climate policy, which is odd because Harris was tie-breaking vote in the Inflation Reduction Act that was, in reality, the Green New Deal that brought policies like the EV mandate.

    Eight House Democrats Vote to Pull the Plug on Biden’s EV Rule


    The "Green New Deal" was put in place long before Biden and long before Trump. The Obama Administration EPA put us on our current path back in 2009. That is why the plan was put in place to skyrocket the EPA standards and targets for emissions and fuel economy.

    President Trump had put a stop to the ridiculous increases in targets -- especially the planned skyrocket increase set for 2025 which is a defacto ban of ICE vehicles and mandate of EVs -- but the Deep State and Obama radicals who never left DC reversed Trump Administration policies and put the Obama Administration EPA policies back in action in 2021.

    The Inflation Reduction Act was simply the tool to re-activate Obama Administration policies Trump had put on hold.
