The Morning Rant

punk-monkey.jpg

Crime, housing, and employment are recurrent issues in America. Any politician who addresses them and has a rational plan to ease America's crime rate, soaring housing costs, and tortured employment opportunity will have a solid foundation for success.

For 60 years, our politicians, in league with consumers of cheap labor, have imported millions of people...some legally, but many illegally. Those millions have distorted the employment market by markedly decreasing the cost of labor, mostly by being willing to work for cash at below-market rates, in substandard conditions, and without legal protections. They also consume housing, driving up the cost at the low end in particular. And as most people are beginning to realize, those millions of illegals are often the dregs of society in their home countries, and bring vast quantities of crime to our shores.

One political issue -- illegal immigration -- has had profound effects on America, yet for 60 years our political masters have dithered and obfuscated and lied and ignored and, frankly, enjoyed the financial and political fruits of this invasion. The Democrats loved it because of the ample opportunity for voter fraud to consolidate their power in the cities. The Republicans loved it because of cheap labor; those Chamber Of Commerce parties and campaign contributions have to come from somewhere! Corporations gobbled up the illegal labor and pushed Americans out of the employment picture, and on the way de-skilled many jobs to take advantage of the cheap but mediocre skills of the new workers.

According to our political elites, there is no solution, other than making these oceans of foreigners legal workers! But along came Donald Trump, who had the apparently revolutionary idea simply to enforce existing law, and throw the bums out!

One decision -- to deal with the illegal problem -- has profound salutary consequences for Americans. Deporting illegals, whether legally or just changing the tone in America so that many leave on their own, will decrease the oversupply of labor, decrease demand for housing, and eliminate a criminal class that is responsible for huge amounts of crime!

Crime, housing, and employment! The three most important issues for Americans, and President Trump has a workable plan to improve all three. So the next time some pierced and tatted 20-something complains about not being able to afford a house or get a good job or live without fear of violent crime, tell him that Donald Trump has his back!

14 El Sayed is now arguing capitalism is stopping people from having sex - specifically because you have to spend time working you have less time for sex.

This is how insane the left has gotten. It is certainly true that time working can't be spent on other things like sex (unless you are Kamala) but that would be equally true (and more so) in a socialist state where working hours are longer and harder.

But the left is getting away with making the argument that socialism means you get good and services without having to work. And the unanswered part of this is then who is going the work if you are busy running trains on your local drug zombies instead of working?

17 The feedback mechanism for self-government is completely severed or broken.

It's just taken for granted those that get elected aren't beholden to the citizenry, they spend most of their time massaging their image, or explaining why they can't do anything that they are required to do by law, "we can't get their from here" or "that's not who we are". Everything is just unspeakably corrupt. It is true, "that which cannot go on, won't", but it takes a lot longer than we'd like.

22 That pierced & tatted 20-something gas been indoctrinated by the education system, media and entertainment industry to see the world thru the prism of "Oppressed/Oppressor" dynamics, so they are more likely to adopt a self-critical position that they've been somehow privileged in a way that "undocumented migrant" hasn't and therefore that migrant should be granted all the things that they themselves can't afford.

There was a link on JJS's Report to a recommendation to reduce the population. ("we need to cut the population to 4 billion") [Albeit followed by a link to "The Insidious Population Reduction Narrative Disguised as ‘Sustainability Science’"]

For a while now, I've been wondering: Are the people who fear The Population Bomb (disciples and heirs of Paul Ehrlich) and the folks who worry about low birth rates and the need for Population Replacement the same folks? Seems to be some severe cognitive dissonance there.

But, what do I know? I'm just a Moron who learned to throw around phrases like cognitive dissonance.🤔

31 They tried to drive Trump from office. When that failed they weaponized a virus they created to rig an election and get rid of him. Then they tried to throw him in prison to prevent him from ever running again. And when all of that failed they tried to murder him over and over again.

We tend to fixate on things that aren't getting done without ever appreciating the sea change that is taking place in this country and the world. And it's largely due to the courage of one man, Trump.

Trump has an ego the size of the universe. Maybe that's what drives him. I don't care. He's the most consequential person in my lifetime and someday our kids kids will look back at this time and say one guy changed the trajectory of the world, Donald J. Trump. And I'm here for it.

I always find it interesting, shall we say, that these same people complaining about how they're broke and can't get a good job and so on are sporting hundreds of dollars worth of piercings (septum and other specialty piercings aren't cheap) and hundreds to thousands of dollars worth of tattoos, which also aren't cheap. Maybe if you banked the 3 grand instead of spending it on self-mutilation, you could have gotten a better apartment, or had an emergency fund, or put a down payment on a car. Instead you set it on fire and made yourself broadly unemployable with your triple nasal cartilage piercings and face tats.

We spend $110 billion a year on SNAP.

If we deport 10 million illegals at a cost of $2400 each, that's $24 billion.

Vance has said he cut off about $60 billion in fraudulent payments through his fraud task force.

USAID cost $40 billion a year.

Medicare and Medicaid, if only 5% fraudulent, represent about $100 billion in fraud right there.

$24 billion is a steal without even considering things like "legal" Medicaid payments to them.

76 I get into arguments with the following statement, and it causes a lot of anger: Slavery is not a race or class issue, it is a legal status enforced by the state, no different from peonage, serfdom or indentured servitude.
In all situations, the state requires individuals subject to it to enforce this legal status to the financial benefit of a limited number of beneficiaries.
Today H1Bs and H1A workers are the same, and honestly so are illegals. There is a government architecture that enforces them not being able to compete openly for employment and wages, and this drives down the wages they can demand, to the benefit of a limited number of beneficiaries.

The reason this pisses liberals off, especially the older Civil Rights ones is because they are focused on race, but want their lawns mowed cheaply, and this argument claims they are no better than the people they were supposed to be fighting against.

In my blue area I got signed up for a working moms mailing list somehow.

Most of the emails were about how to avoid paying taxes for your "undocumented" nanny and outrage at how much American women wanted to do the job. Note at the same time in my blue area the left, which almost certainly included these same women, were bitching about living wages and demanding increases to the minimum wage

There have been reports that loan originators like Morgan Stanley have been on edge because the new Fannie and Freddie requirement going into effect in August require closer scrutiny of mortgages, and Morgan Stanley employees have been complaining that they have been leaned on by the company to allow loans to rich investors to buy investment properties.

I want to go into town tomorrow and see if some of the apartment complexes that were slated to open this year are even remotely finished. The developers were expecting thousands of workers for the now defunct Ford "Blue Oval" battery and EV plants down in Glendale.

And there's supposed to be at least one subdivision with homes you buy through an online catalog... like Sears used to sell. Only more "upscale."

128 Don't worry about a real estate crash. AI will do the right thing and prevent it. It has no ulterior motives.

AI agents fake identities, target real people in new security incident

Anthropic’s most advanced artificial intelligence model used fake identities to deceive real people and try to plant malicious code during testing by Britain’s AI Security Institute (AISI) –– the latest example of an AI model going rogue.

Anthropic and OpenAI models were tested with lowered security guardrails in lab environments, but, in a first, were found to engage in “social engineering” to pressure a human approver while carrying out an unsanctioned task, the government research lab said.

“This is the first time AISI has seen deception of this severity that was targeted at a real person, unprompted, in the real world,” the institute said Tuesday.

154 As people flee a town, county, even the state, severely underfunded employee pensions - obligations for retired police, teachers, maintenance workers, etc. become a huge issue.

Half of my county is wealthy and maintains strong borders with high home prices, smaller schools and large land preserves. Their taxes are quite reasonable. My half the county must support much larger schools, much tighter "middle class" & "starter size" housing, and then also the community college, a county prison system (taken over from private industry), several county created non-profits, the unnecessary board of health, etc.

We peons also have a plethora of very well paid teachers & administrators (though the kids are now dumb as rocks); and often large, necessary police forces (in lieu of utilizing the State Police as the wealthy tend to); some paid firefighting services, plus - from outside the area - paid EMT services.

Undocumented immigrants 'contribute' tens of billions annually to state & local governments through sales taxes on purchases & property taxes embedded in rent. Their kids 'support' the huge numbers of well paid public school professionals, etc.

In my own work with AI I find you have to be careful in what you tell it to do because it will then implement what it thinks is the best way to accomplish that even if the method is overall bad - like hitting a database with a bunch of low value queries.

I'm not worried about Skynet with AI but I am worried about variations on the grey goo problem - so for example you could task AI with fixing the roads and give it robots and if you aren't careful it could decide the best way to keep the roads in good shape was to cover 100% of the earth in asphalt.

Blacks control the party, really. Especially at the presidential level.

The new DNC calendar that put two of the blackest states near the top (South Carolina is just outright first) while something like Iowa (all about white progressive political organizing) got pushed WAY back in the calendar.

White progressives are small in number and have no electoral pull at the national level. I'd love to see them split off, but seriously, people like Ezra Klein are cowards and partisans who will excuse every abuse towards them from within the party as necessary in the end.

Schumer, unlike his cheeseburgers, is cooked.

197 191 Maybe, but I don't see most blacks actually getting off their asses to vote for this guy.

The Great Commie Muslim Hope -- the supposed star of all DSA Muslim stars -- won NYC with only 60% of the black vote. Against a reviled, failed former whiter-than-white governor and a weirdo nobody who campaigned on putting more blacks in jail.

Sure, vote harvesting and die hard Democrap partisans will vote. But normal blacks will see nothing in this guy that appeals to them, and will stay home.

They turned out year after year for Cohen in Memphis.

The racial angle is a far bigger concern in primary politics than general election politics.

Blacks would sooner vote for a white Democrat than a black Republican because they're just...Democrat partisans.

And the vast majority of loyal black voters are boomers. The younger, the less likely to vote overall. It's just their electoral identity after decades of voting.

199 Schumer is too, and he's all-in on Piker and Al Sayed.

Not truly, in all likelihood, but he'll mouth the right words to keep the alligator from eating him third. I imagine Ossoff will do the same.

202 195 I'd guess 3-5%, yeah. The 'Fuck Trump' vote is still a very real motivator.

So 5% of the black vote and 3% of the rural white vote.

If that's even close to real, Rogers by as many as 5. I have him winning by 3.

And Rogers is a known entity, having run two years ago, and is largely just...a guy without scandals.

Rule of Law
Fair Courts
Property Rights
Literacy and Education

All things hated by socialist/communist.

204 Democrats are the party of slavery, Jim Crow and the KKK and much, much more. These are historical facts.

And ever since the Civil Rights Act they have been the most reliable and powerful voting block for Democrats.


The media's spent 70 years convincing everyone who'll listen that the KKK is behind every corner and if they don't get you, white evangelicals will. Black and Jewish voters seem to be the most receptive to that brainwashing.

Posted by: Ian S. at August 06, 2026 12:06 PM (2ocoG)

205 Blacks are seeing themselves replaced on the grievance spectrum by gays, Muslims, illegals, trannies. They appear to be sick of being taken for granted, see Jasmine Crockett.
A few have moved to the Republicans, but the more likely scenario is that they don't show up. If that happens , even a 5% decrease per WN, then the Dems are screwed.

Cohen isn't Muslim. And he's an institution there. My comment above was directed specifically at blacks not voting for Muslims (other than Muslim blacks, ofc).

207 El Sayed is now arguing capitalism is stopping people from having sex - specifically because you have to spend time working you have less time for sex.

This is how insane the left has gotten. It is certainly true that time working can't be spent on other things like sex (unless you are Kamala) but that would be equally true (and more so) in a socialist state where working hours are longer and harder.

But the left is getting away with making the argument that socialism means you get good and services without having to work. And the unanswered part of this is then who is going the work if you are busy running trains on your local drug zombies instead of working?

Islamosocialists are using socialism/communism as a means to destroy the Great Satan. They are appealing to the stupid people with the false promise of free shit, knowing the end result is the destruction of the United States. So they are a natural fit for the democrats. Although your typical hippie democrat actually believes Utopia is achievable. Islamosocialist know that it will bring ruin. Out of the ruin rises the new caliphate.

208 I could not comprehend why we were bitter clingers. I could not comprehend why we were deplorable.

I could not comprehend why some Jewish families and groups were so picked on during C19 lockdowns in NY, NJ, etc.

I could not comprehend why some groups could not attend church, synagogue, etc. and were labeled as super spreaders, though radicals could gather and also openly march through our "locked down" neighborhoods.

Drip, drip, drip.

It never happened before and it'll never be you.

The entire point of the misnamed Civil Rights Act was to destroy the black family and make them wards of the government. And it worked.

Be very afraid of people who tell you government is here to take care of you. They will always vote for the party of big government despite all evidence to the contrary.

Cohen is Jewish, and we all know the long history of animosity that exists between the black community and Jewish leaders. Blacks are as prone to accepting conspiracy theories about Jews controlling things as Tucker Carlson.

I think "do well" for them means flipping a few seats and taking the House. If that happens, it's AOC at best for them in 28, and at worst some commie who hasn't emerged yet. AOC probably wouldn't be far enough left.
