The Morning Report — 11/26/24

Good morning kids. So, among some pretty big stories in the links is that the execrable hack Stalinist show trial prosecutor Jack Smith has folded up his tent and ended the groundless, baseless case against Donald Trump. The estimable Daniel Greenfield describes it perfectly:

The abandonment of the Trump cases simply signals that the ‘resistance’ is moving from the former to the latter.
Jack Smith, like Mueller, was only the latest in a succession of propped up figures who played the inquisitioner role for an audience of MSNBC viewers and Washington Post readers. Everyone else with common sense knew how this would play out. And that’s why they cared very little.
Smith dropped the nonsensical election subversion case now that the election has been won. There will be other cases and other front men, but they will be aimed at the incoming administration and figures around it. The investigations of Trump’s conduct in Term 2 will be generated on schedule, but their aim will be to create chaos and inhibit the administration. What was election interference will move on to interference with a duly elected administration by special prosecutors, state prosecutors and a crew of activist lawyers employed by major organizations.
One wave of lawfare is dead. The next is being developed now.

Hence the trumped up accusations against such individuals as Matt Gaetz and Pete Hegseth, in the wings Tulsi Gabbard (who will be viciously raked over the coals for her apostasy of abandoning the caliphate of Leftism.) And get set for the fireworks over Kash Patel to a major post at the FBI if not the DOJ!!!!

If you thought that President-elect Trump had used up all of his "controversial" nominations, buckle up, because he is reportedly planning to appoint Kash Patel, the former chief investigator of the Trump-Russia investigation for the House Intelligence Committee under former Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), to a prominent position within either the FBI or the Justice Department, according to top transition sources cited by Axios.. . Patel published a book in 2023 that Trump hailed as a “blueprint” for rooting out corrupt figures in government, and has been vocal about ending the weaponization of government. In his book, he wrote, “The FBI has become so thoroughly compromised that it will remain a threat to the people unless drastic measures are taken,” though Axios called that "retaliation against Trump's political enemies," because, of course they would.

This is the moral equivalent of putting Tail Gunner Joe McCarthy (PBUH) to head up the KGB! Meh, John Brennan somehow got the top slot at the CIA? That one still gives me nightmares as to how it was even possible he was hired to work there in the first place. But I digress.

There will also be massive acts of abject insubordination if not treasonous sabotage within the upper echelons if not rank and file of the DC bureaucracies, from the lowliest toilet attendant at the Dept. of the Redundancy Department all the way up to the director. It certainly will be interesting if Trump's efforts with this newfangled DOGE will yield actual results in dismantling at least some bits and pieces of the Deep State that have disfigured the Republic as founded into a Rachel Levine Frankenstein's monster of a catamite sex slave.

Frankly, given the nature of power and those who wield it, who have worked tirelessly for decades upon decades in stealing it from successive generations of unaware and/or duped Americans, I pray we can at least take a few steps back from the long march through the institutions, away from the mass grave the Theodor Adornos and Rudy Dutschkes of this world have brought us to the brink of. Certainly the election of Ronald Reagan and of course 40 years on the election, re-election and RE-re-election of Donald Trump must indicate something positive in the psyche of the citizenry?

WEll, Ace-cruelty Fanboi, the brilliant author and historian Victor Davis Hanson thinks we might be on the cusp of a sea-change in the political/cultural landscape:

We are witnessing a historic counterrevolution after Trump’s victory, far different from his first election in 2016. The orthodox and the supposed scripted future are now suspect. And they are likely to be dethroned—from the trivial to the existential. Critics claim Trump has no mandate to stage such a counterrevolution. They argue that he did not win 51 percent of the popular vote or achieve a Reaganesque landslide in the Electoral College. Yet all the initiatives he advanced and won on polled landslide public approval.

Well, it remains to be seen. As an ex New Yorker and someone who sees his hometown through somewhat rose-colored spectacles, even as Daniel Penny's trial winds down, and some positive signs and revelations in a sane world should please-GOD lead to his freedom, This happened on the NYC subway just yesterday:

A straphanger was slugged in the face by an irate seatmate on a Manhattan-bound subway — but he managed to wrestle the “little b–ch” to the ground until cops could intervene.
Alexander Rakitin, 42, was riding the N Train to his Manhattan finance job Monday morning when he sat down next to 34-year-old Timothy Barbee.
As the train took off, the car jolted causing Rakitin’s knee to jostle Barbee’s — which set the alleged assailant off.
“Apparently my knee touched his knee. That triggered him,” Rakitin told The Post. “He was just very aggressive. I’m like, saying, ‘Dude, just chill, it’s like 8:30 in the morning. Like, who needs this s–t. Just chill.'” Then he smacked Rakitin across the face — sending his glasses flying — before the camera cut out.
“I was able to wrestle him to the ground after that, and just kind of hold him,” Rakitin said. “And the craziest part was that — and this is literally upsetting, like I’m actually emotional about it — people on the train were trying to help him. Like, that was the most insane thing.
“It was also remarkable — he went from acting like such a thug. And then he turned into a little b–ch right away. He’s like, ‘I can’t breathe. Please, let me go. Please, let me go. I can’t breathe. Somebody give me some water. I can’t breathe.’ And people started giving him water. That was so insane.”
. . . “To be honest, like everybody sees the way the city is — it’s not like it’s changing. I already saw that the city is like this, that you’re in a constant danger of aggression or violent crime,” he said. “It’s not like it’s changing. It’s just kind of reaffirming that that’s the way the city is.”

Again, it wasn't always like that. Yes it was bad. But there were eras of sanity even during Ed Koch's time and certainly Rudy Giuliani's when it was about as amazing a place to live and work as you could imagine, the nightmare of 9/11/01 and its aftermath notwithstanding.

I have to wonder if the individuals in this incident even understood the implications of what was happening to their fellow citizen Daniel Penny and how there but for the grace of GOd what happened to him and what they were enduring on that N Train was almost exactly the same damned thing. And that their lamentations about the Big Apple, assuming they are and vote Democrat election after election put them in that position.

Are scales falling from eyes? Well, say what you will about this incident, here's an item that indicates perhaps more than a bit of positive news in this regard:

A majority of Americans support President-elect Donald J. Trump’s plan for mass deportations to address the illegal immigration crisis in the United States, according to a new survey. Trump’s stance on deportations has enjoyed significant support among the populace since late Spring, and data suggests the issue played a significant role in his landslide 2024 election victory.The poll, conducted by YouGov on behalf of CBS, shows 57 percent of respondents supporting Trump’s deportation plan. However, Americans also appear wary of using U.S. military assets to remove illegal immigrants. According to the data, 82 percent of respondents said they want federal immigration and border patrol agencies to carry out the deportations. Meanwhile, 64 percent said they’d like to see federal law enforcement agencies involved. Forty percent said they would want the U.S. military involved in deportations.

Well there's insurrection and insubordination, and then we have mayors and governors across the nation set to defy the establishment of any rebirth of an "Operation Wetback" from President Trump. And how would that fly with the citizenry given the aforementioned poll, which is not an outlier but indicative of one of the many major issues that propelled Trump to a massive victory this time around. Or alternatively, sent the Democrats down to a massive defeat. In that perspective, Maybe Prof Hanson is on to something? Or is he?

Have a great day one and all.

Wall Street analysts see Bessent as a steady hand whose economic nationalist views fit well within the incoming Trump administration. Consequently, investors are signaling that Bessent’s even-handed and coherent economic vision aligns with their preferences, which—in part—explains Monday’s positive market reaction.In recent years, Bessent has become a leading advocate for a combination of traditional fiscally conservative positions like tax cuts and regulatory reform. However, he’s also pushed a series of economic nationalist stances, including using tariffs as leverage in international trade negotiations.

Then, imagine politicians, forcibly taking people’s tax money in order to pay customers to buy what the politicians prefer. That world does not exist merely in the imagination. It doesn’t just sit like a malignant spore in the darkness of the mind. It’s real, and it’s found, in New York state, better known as… the Hochul Zone.”

Donald Trump has said that on the first day of his second term, he wants to "frack, frack, frack, and drill, drill, drill."

If we want to keep Russia quiet we shouldn't be keeping their war with Ukraine going, we should do what we can to drive down energy prices.

22 We rag on SCOTUS but they did a huge thing last June with their Loper decission which overturned "Chevron doctrine" which for nearly 50 year said that courts should defer to federal agency rule-making unless it was batshit crazy.

The dooes are now open to court challenges seeking to overturn federal rules that were adopted wihout clear Congressional authorization.

This will play into what Elon-Vivek are doing.

30 The story about gubbmint stepping in and condemning those Amish built tiny houses is enough to make your blood boil. If they had installed trailers reeking of formaldehyde things would be OK. The Amish can do a project like 100 cabins in a week. They had a barn raising down the road from my Uncle's place in Ohio. 24 hours later there was a barn standing. Everybody knew their assigned task and performed it. Uncle said they had lots of spectators watching the barn go up as if by magic.

"Walmart has joined a growing list of major corporations and rolled back its diversity, equity and inclusion policies.

The move by the world's largest retailer marks a seismic shift in corporate strategy that comes after attacks by conservative activists against 'woke' company policies.

Some of the sweeping changes include abandoning a $100 million racial equity center set up in 2020 after the police killing of George Floyd and leaving a prominent LGBTQ+ gay rights index.

The retail juggernaut also won't be giving priority treatment to suppliers that are 51 percent-owned by women, minorities, veterans or members of the LGBTQ community."

Since those workers are already unionized, then it is safe to presume they were working under a previously negotiated labor contract - with agreed upon wages. They shouldn't be punishing travelers, the airport or airlines. They should be pissed at their union and also themselves for voting/ratifying the contract they are working under.

99 A majority of Americans support President-elect Donald J. Trump’s plan for mass deportations to address the illegal immigration crisis in the United States, according to a new survey.

--

I hope Americans are geared up for all the tear-filled sob stories of the poor illegals who just want to better themselves and their families here on the golden streets of the USA. Because the propaganda is going to be unrelenting.

I want the mass deportations to include, not just the dangerous criminal element, but every man, woman and child that came across the border illegally. I hope America has the stomach for it. I certainly do.

100 Big Brother is watching you tour Big Ben or drink pints in that Irish pub. The United Kingdom, which comprises England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland, now has an Electronic Travel Authorization System (ETA). According to the Travel Weekly website, the ETA started in 2023 and was just required for travelers from several Middle Eastern countries, including Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan. Now, it’s adding Americans traveling anywhere to the U.K. starting in January 2025.

The earliest you can sign up is 3 months prior to your birthday. Then you have a grace period extending 3 months after your birthday. This is for Medicare parts A (hosp) and B (docs).

Then you can add either a supplemental plan (Medigap) or an Advantage plan, to pick up where Medicare A & B leave off.

I found the Medicare School channel on YT, plus some others, to be a great help in sorting through it all.

That's one way of looking at it. The other way is to rightfully acknowledge this is a much different country than it was during Nixon or Reagan after years of government school indoctrination, government propaganda posing as news, an entertainment community that puts out content nearly entirely in support of the media narrative, etc..

In that context Trump's win is a sweeping mandate against significant, some thought, insurmountable odds. Winning the electoral college is one thing, winning the popular vote in this environment is a type of landslide.

In other words, we did vote our way out of it when we were told endlessly we couldn't.

165 104. JJ. You can delay signing up for Medicare if you have a job with an employer that has more than 20 employees and have creditable insurance through them. Sometimes people will go ahead and sign up for A since its free and use that as a secondary to their work insurance. If you don’t have that situation, then you do need to sign up for Medicare. You have an eight month window in which to do it four months on either side of your birthday. right now Medicare and Social Security is super busy so I would sign up as soon as you possibly can if you need to with a date in mind as to when it takes affect. if you don’t sign up when you’re eligible and you don’t have creditable insurance, you start to incur a lifetime penalty for every month that goes by that you didn’t sign up.

This stuff didn't exist in the 70s or 80s, way back when we managed to count votes on election day. If you don't believe Biden got 81 million votes, and he didn't, why would you believe Harris got 74 million legal votes?

A good friend's Medicare agent helped me initially navigate the Medicare A & B enrollment and then sign up for an Advantage type plan as a placeholder. There is a 6-month initial enrollment period (from the date of your Part B start) in which you may change plans without going thru medical underwriting. My 6-month IEP overlapped the annual enrollment period (Oct 15 - Dec 7).

The friend's Medicare agent was buried working with her existing clients and I wasn't hearing from her, so I went looking on my own.

The Medicare.gov website is actually quite good, functional, and very useful. I highly recommend using it. I'm still a little bit stunned that our gubmint can create and maintain something so helpful, given its track record of abject failures.

Also YT has a plethora of info, despite some of the clickbait scare headlines and thumbnails. I found Medicare School very helpful.

I've always wanted to write a boy-meets-girl, etcetera screen musical, where the characters sing American Songbook classics or some great 1960s pop music, but use the original recordings instead of revamped voices.

For instance, when boy loses girl to another guy, he sings in Ray Charles' voice "You Don't Know Me." Or the secondary leads dicover that they're in love and sing "Baby (You've Got What It Takes)" in the voices of Brook Benton and Dinah Washington.

But that's basically a ripoff of Pennies From Heaven, so it's DOA.

All of their agents are paid by the insurance companies so it’s at no charge to you. All the agents are paid the same regardless of which insurance plan they suggest so no bias. They do Medicare advantage and Medigap. Their founder works with the government on Medicare issues and is extremely knowledgeable. Right now is their busiest time so you might have a two week lag before they can call you back in an appointment setting to go over what you might be looking for. They can help you navigate signing up for Medicare a and B and then make a decision on whether you’re going to go with an advantage plan or a Medigap plan plus you also need a part D drug plan. Very helpful for me when we needed to appeal a Medicare IRMAA charge. That is the extra charge to Medicare based on your income from two years ago. Yes it’s the government and some of their rules are nuts and yes if you’ve saved all your life and have some income in retirement, you’re gonna get hit with higher premiums for Medicare.

Traffic can get ugly during shift change. Big hospital system in Evansville that's supposed to be really good. I've never been in that system so can't say for sure. University of Southern Indiana is down there I believe, along with University of Evansville. I don't spend much time in that area so can't really give you any "what it's like living there" info. Seems nice enough though. I'm not a city person and prefer smaller towns nearby places with more services. We're about 30 minutes south of Bloomington and an hour north of Evansville. Bloomington is a college town and very much leftist. Bedford is nearby also. You can find most of what you need in the southwest quadrant of Indiana. Get on up here to Hoosier land!!

Rufo reposted a Wall Street Journalarticle on X Monday which claims he was invited to Mar-a-Lago to speak with the Trump team. That meeting will reportedly involve a plan to threaten schools’ government funding if they do not reign in their DEI programs.

235 I guess Garland slowly building the case from the bottom up
worked out great! Merrick Garland was not just weak, he was complicit. And so was everyone who said to trust him.

Biden appointed him. I guess "making nice" with Repugnantcons is not such a good idea after all.

there it is. Was wondering when it would get around to blaming the president. There's no bottom to the scapegoating, is it? You can't get anymore backbiting than blaming prosecutors who actively prosecuting Trump in an actual courtroom before they got cut off, for letting him go.

No one on the bottom ratted out TSF. Garland should have gone after Mark Meadows. The J6 Select committee sent Garland a criminal referral for Meadows and Chesebro. Garland did convict Bannon and Navarro for blowing off a J6 subpoena. If Jack Smith writes up a report, what are the odds that Garland releases it? Will it matter?

Some important details I haven't read or heard being reported, even by FoxNews, about these millions of humble downtrodden illegal immigrants and illegal criminal immigrants from around the world:

- What do they eat during their trip, and how much? When? Who provides it?

- Where do they get potable water and how much?

- When and where do they sleep? Outdoors? In tents? In buildings?

- How long do they march per day? What distance? What if they can't keep up?

- What happens to those who get sick? Are they forced to march? What if they cannot march with their assigned group, for hours or days? Do they get any medical help, and/or any medicines?

This mass 'migration' is an unholy and inhumane racket that I suspect is funded in part by DHS one way or another before the people get to the Mexico/US border.

By continuing to politely call it trafficking we allow the monsters to pretend they're just helpfully carrying the precious little babies to their loving family members already here in the U.S.

They're not. They're bringing them here to allow clients to pay to repeatedly rape them before eventually discarding them like rotted meat.

There have been some good documentaries published about this on places like X and other spot on the tubes. There are dozens, probably hundreds of NGOs and other groups getting paid huge amounts of money to create and facilitate this mass "migration" event including places here in the country that receive illegals and get paid to house and ship them around the country. One of the biggest domestic recipients is Catholic Charities.

The money comes from our tax dollars laundered through the government, the UN and other sources. We are literally paying for our own invasion.

But, in none of the stories about it, not one, do they ever mention that the logo was designed by a Native American artist who used a Blackfoot chief as his inspiration.
And I just now am hearing this?

The interview also showed EVC was struggling to circumvent newly passed election integrity laws because “keeping up with those laws is time-consuming, it’s expensive … partners, and even funders, are getting worried that this work is too risky.”

In April 2024, the trickle of desertions from the would-be “Majority” became a flood when a memo from Democratic strategist Aaron Strauss “sparked a furious debate in Democratic circles about whether to narrow the focus of voter registration efforts to avoid signing up likely Republicans.” The memo advised Democratic megadonors to abandon “nonpartisan” voter registration because most unregistered voters were now Republicans. “Indeed, if we were to blindly register nonvoters and get them on the rolls, we would b

Our move was easier in that we moved to be close to our son and his family. We were already familiar with the area as they had lived here for 12 years and we came down here often. MrTea is still working and he is very happy with his job.

Mueller She Wrote has been saying, "Patience, grasshopper" to us since 2021. She doesn't nail anything.

Marcy Wheeler was full of shit the entire time. And incredibly arrogant and condescending about it. Any comment that had the SLIGHTEST difference of opinion, no matter how polite or well-argued, would get slammed mercilessly. Or just deleted. I'm never going back to that blog and wasting time on the ramblings of an overseas blogger with ZERO relevant legal experience. Wheeler has been a libertarian darling for ages and often went after Obama hard, yet some who attacked people here on DU for not joining her fan club and/or calling out flaws with her also used association pathways to have a go at people they did not like.

Southernmost Indiana is like that (drive 62 between Louisville and Evansville for an example.) Up about Bloomington/Bedford you get to the push from the glaciers. We have family cemeteries that are on top of hills in the middle of the woods that are now part of Indiana state forest. Looking at the graves and then at how far off the road we went to get there- up steep hills and slick paths if it is at all damp- it must have really sucked to get the bodies up there.

Our move was easier in that we moved to be close to our son and his family. We were already familiar with the area as they had lived here for 12 years and we came down here often. MrTea is still working and he is very happy with his job.

Senate needs to dig into Pam Bondi’s statements that Trump “prosecutors will be prosecuted.” There is no evidence of misconduct. Revenge is not a proper basis to investigate them. November 24, 2024

Not that anyone’s going to do anything about it, but it might be good to remember that, as an adjudicated oath-breaking insurrectionist, Mr.Trump is constitutionally disqualified under Sec. 3 of 14th Am from taking the oath as president on 1/20/25 unless 2/3 of both houses lift the disqualification.

Reminder that Jack Smith spent over $50 million taxpayer dollars on his corrupt fishing expedition to get President Trump before the voters could elect him.

$50 million.

Drugs like Wegovy, Ozempic would be covered by Medicare, Medicaid under Biden proposal, November 26, 2024

Because:

In part, "The costly proposal from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services sets the stage for a potential showdown between the powerful pharmaceutical industry and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an outspoken opponent of the weight-loss drugs who, as President-elect Donald Trump's nominee to lead the agency, could try to block the measure.

While the rule would give millions of people access to weekly injectables that have helped people shed pounds so quickly that some have labeled them miracle drugs, it would cost taxpayers as much as $35 billion over the next decade."

Aside from bedeviling the staffing selections of the incoming administration & running the country into the financial ground, would the government also be responsible for potential long term side effects or health risks of those expensive weight loss medications?

But also note that year after year, $35 a month insulin was promised by O& Joe, but the federal government could never get to an end point and assist all its citizens who MUST use it.
