The Morning Report - 2/24/21 [J.J. Sefton]

Good morning, kids. Wednesday and the inexorable drift towards "getting our hair mussed" as General Buck Turgidson would say continues apace, perhaps even gaining a step. The junta that rigged the election and seized power is now going full tilt boogie in its effort to consolidate it. The already weaponized law enforcement and national security bureaucracies which attempted to overthrow now President-in-Exile Trump in 2016 and afterwards is using the pretext of the violence at the January 6th protest - which was pre-planned and caused by the Democrats and their BLM/Antifa terror squads - to purge and persecute any and all threats and enemies of this new and likely soon-to-be all powerful State.

In less than a month in office, the Biden [junta] has clearly defined itself and its party as a fascist vanguard, driven by a racist agenda, and unconstrained by constitutional principle. It chooses to rule by presidential diktat, even though it controls both Houses of Congress. It is an aggressive pursuer of political division behind a deceptive smokescreen of "healing" and "unity," It is busily exploiting a fake "armed insurrection" to justify witch-hunts of the military, the capital police, members of Congress and the opposition media, at the moment Fox and Newsmax, whom they want to suppress. Its legislative radicals have called for the expulsion of half the Republican conference, without rebuke from their leaders. Because these actions are indefensible in a democracy, the Democrat Party is brazenly advancing these destructive, anti-democratic measures using Orwellian doublespeak...
...Thanks to the Democrats, violent attacks on people and property and government buildings had become a "cultural norm" -- to use Biden's unconscionable phrase for looking away when confronted by Chinese genocide and enslavement of 2 million Uighur Muslims. Yet with the help of cowardly Republicans, afraid to call these aggressions by their proper names, the Democrats were able to turn the Capitol melee into a preposterous Reichstag Fire -- the same that provided Hitler, the elected chancellor of the Weimar Republic with an excuse for destroying the Republic and silencing his opponents.
The difference was that for Hitler the phantom enemy that justified his depredations was the Jews, while for the fascist Democrats it is "white supremacists," whose actual numbers are fewer even than the Jews. The Marxists of Black Lives Matter are the actual authors of the lie that the January 6 melee in the capital was a "white supremacist coup." But even the pathetic Merrick Garland was forced to repeat the canard - without offering a shred of evidence - at his confirmation hearing.

I think the word "forced" gives way too much deference to Garland. He knows it's bullshit, we know it's bullshit, and he knows that we know that he knows it's bullshit. But you'll be happy to know that Garland has the full confidence and support of... Mitch McConnell. Yay. Bipartisanship.

Well, even when the Manolo-Blahnik jackboot is on our throat, at least we have the courts to turn to for redress. Oh, wait a minute...

With Joe Biden now a month into his office as [quote-unquote so-called] president of the United States, Americans may shrug at the court's decision, but we shouldn't: The Supreme Court's abdication of its authority to answer important constitutional questions only encourages further lawlessness by state election officials and courts, undermines voter confidence, and threatens even more chaotic federal elections...
...Maybe the six justices who voted against certiorari believe the country will be better off without relitigating the election. The denial, however, will not heal a country that witnessed state officials and courts change the rules mid-vote -- not just in Pennsylvania, but in Wisconsin and Michigan too. Then her citizens saw the Supreme Court seemingly ignore those violations of the Electors Clause when Texas sought relief in the Supreme Court.
Worse yet will be the damage done to our republic when the bending and breaking of election laws repeats in the future. For now, as Justice Thomas concluded, "by doing nothing," the Supreme Court invites "erosion of voter confidence." We "citizens deserve better and expect more."

Beyond the institutionalization of election-rigging (at least only when Democrats do it) given the Good Volksgemeinschaft Seal of Approval by SCOTUS, does anyone think that the Court is going to side with the inevitable lawsuits that will be forthcoming when the junta goes after our guns, our unborn children, our houses of worship and the few remaining media outlets that can still disseminate voices of dissent as well as accurate reportage, etc. etc.? With a court like this, who needs to have it packed?

26 My area has very poor electrical grid reliability. We lose power every year for small periods, but often for longer times. After Sandy hit, we lost power for over a week. From our time living in Florida we lived through Hurricanes and, once, we couldn't even get out of our house for several days until the National Guard was good enough to cut a pathway for us to us. As a result, we are pretty prepared for power outages, no water and food supplies. It's a great comfort.

It is like those that think engineers know history when we know that is not true. Stop saying people know something when they do not. Cuban has been living of a single trade. Even if he made a few other picks, it doesn't mean he gives a damn about this country or could ever come up with a way to help it.

44 Leftists have some really weird psychological issues, they will strenuously deny something is happening, even though it isn't a question of fact - but at the same time if it is happening, you deserve it.

They cannot admit they are wrong on any point, great or small, because their world view is based on a carefully constructed house of cards, or a mountain of lies. To concede even one point is too much for them to bear. So they will double down on their delusions, it is axiomatic.

Someone once described it as "Your death, before their dishonor"; they are willing to sacrifice you, or your kids, on the altar of their specious bullshit. They aren't going to change their mind, because discovering one has been wrong, profoundly mistaken about certain things is very difficult to bear.

It's a small price to pay, you see. Many of them have a kind of death wish or a strain of self-loathing, and this comes through loud and clear in their public policy proscriptions whether local, state, or national.

With a court like this, who needs to have it packed?

I said the other day that it's clear SCOTUS couldn't protect the actual Constitution from a kid with a wet sucker. They have abdicated their actual responsibilities. It's sadly where we are, which basically translates into a free-for-all destruction of that document with no recourse left for The People.

Oh, and I still fully believe the Communist Democrats will still try and pack the court. Because who's going to stop them? They do what they want and get away with it.

Seems like an attempt to blame white nationalism, domestic terrorism on Christianity?

They've worked at expanding the definition of "white nationalism" to essentially cover beliving in concepts such as America first/MAGA, as well as rejecting the anti-racism framework.

In order to roll this up into smearing all who support Western civilization, they are now pulling in Christianity (think of how Christianity/western civ are intertwined). This gives them the ability to now compare "Christian terrorism" with Islamic terrorism, as the WashPost op-ed I linked to above does.

It is audacious and frightening, smearing support of any/all aspects of America and Christianity as the enemy.

Seth Rich was very observant. Leftist deconstruction has always been a close run thing, because they have to provide the illusion of democracy, or that public opinion is a factor, or that public input is wanted. Respect or fealty to the system itself is required, all the while they are working to dismantle it, to neuter it, to remove checks and balances in the system.

The systemic incongruities reach jaw droppingly absurd levels - they will tell us in practically the same breath that deploying troops to far flung places to protect national borders that nobody ever heard of much less find on a map is "vital" to national security, but it would be illegal to use American troops to thwart an invasion at the southern border.

You're not supposed to notice. The fact that they have gone full on censorship of everything and are preparing to declare the American people in a state of insurrection, with military troops surrounding the capitol tells you something wicked this way comes.

98 Household debt hit a record at $14.56 tr. Surging mortgage balances offset a historic decline in credit card debt. Overall, home loans hit a historic $10 tr. All this against a backdrop where wages and job are now declining under The Fraud and His Democrat Banditos. It doesn't get much better for manufacturing, as China is now making inroads back into areas where President Trump made huge gains.

Also, in the bad news department, the Obama Administration added an annual regulatory cost of $111 billion per year. Many of the same people are back in charge now and this number is not only expected to appear, but increase. That's an added cost to businesses, will cost jobs and hurt key industries under attack like our energy sector.

The Fraud Administration is also expected to increase taxes, continue suppressing economic activity (blaming COVID) and pump trillions into phony stimulus, state bailouts and green energy boondoggles. Our economic outlook over the 1-2 year timeframe is now short in the market as all of this settles in. Movement into short term assets and cash are now reflecting this same outlook.

127 We were talking about Clinton's election in 1992. And it struck me that there is a real pattern for every presidential election from 1988 through 2012 - namely the winner, be it a Democrat or Republican makes some conservative-ish promises, usually around cutting taxes - and then invariably violates those immediately on being elected. Clinon's middle class tax cut, Bush 43 cutting spending, etc.

And they then do a bunch of far leftwing sh*t that wasn't on the radar, at least for the LIVs.
This is, of course, where having the controlled opposition was so important because the political system is designed to handle lying sacks of shit doing things the populace doesn't want by replacing them by someone that will immediately reverse what they did.

181 This is why so many in the MSM are throwing around the ill-defined term "Christian nationalism": https://tinyurl.com/yrk3s3f8

[AJ journalist] Diab then calls out the U.S. for "destructively" chasing the "phantom" of violent Islamism globally, while -- until recently -- ignoring the "greater threat" of "homegrown White and Christian extremism." He writes:

After two decades of the United States futilely and destructively chasing the phantom of violent Islamism across the globe, it is welcome to see Americans finally waking up to the greater threat to their security and well-being posed by homegrown White and Christian extremism -- which I, like others, have been warning about for many years.

I've chosen to leave that huge titanium rod implanted into my leg. I'm like the $50k Man. I particularly enjoyed reading the online description of this procedure.

They slit a hole just below your knee, and use a hammer to drive that rod down to your ankle, where they attach to your busted ankle using various nuts and bolts. I've got the scars to prove it.

When I kick your ass with my leg, oh yeah. They said I could have it removed; I'm like, are you kidding? I would pay extra for this shit.

219 173 Infowars pushes conspiracy that Biden cut power to Texas
=====
I remember telling one of my kids that no matter how irritating his persona and delivery, he is right too often to ignore. Posted by: mustbequantum at February 24, 2021 08:40 AM (MIKMs)

but a lot of times it is so idiotically wrong that it negates any value for the few times he's right - like this time.

The whole upside and downside to the Texas grid is that it's the only statewide grid in the US that is NOT connected to any of the other states. There are some connections to Mexico, from which limited amounts of power have been bought in previous emergencies, but there are NO significant links to any other states.

So unless Biden ran around turning off generators himself, or unless he secretly controlled ERCOT, this story is lunacy.
The real story of how a cascade failure managed to sweep the system is much more interesting, and it starts with total management failure by ERCOT, which was trusted to get all this stuff right, both in the long term and the short term.

And now we find out that ERCOT had NO significant regulatory oversight from any government body at any level.

222 Nearly three dozen House Democrats on Monday called on Biden to relinquish his sole authority to launch nuclear weapons, in the latest appeal to reform the command-and-control structure so that no single person can initiate a nuclear war.

"...Vesting one person with this authority entails real risks," states the letter spearheaded by Rep. Jimmy Panetta of California. "Past presidents have threatened to attack other countries with nuclear weapons or exhibited behavior that caused other officials to express concern about the president's judgment."

"While any president would presumably consult with advisors before ordering a nuclear attack, there is no requirement to do so," the letter adds. "The military is obligated to carry out the order if they assess it is legal under the laws of war. Under the current posture of U.S. nuclear forces, that attack would happen in minutes."

Texas had the right to opt out right at the very beginning of the interstate power system, and they did, 50 years ago. For that reason Texas electric generation is subject to NO Federal Oversite. It worked well up until this week.

Not for me. J.J. does an excellent job and is to be commended for his persistence and excellent writing , but sometimes I chose to skip the entire morning thread except for some comments because I chose not to start my day out that way. So, it's warmer here. FenSpouse and I had our morning prayer time at about 6:00 this morning. I saw the sun rise and the shadows look now nice on the snow. My son will be going to his organic chemistry lab where I'm praying he'll talk to some kids and begin the process of making friends. I have blessings every day and have meaningful things to do-such as writing notes to people having a hard time (I don't know them, but their relatives told me that I could write) so I wouldn't say that it's a "fresh hell" of a day at all-for me. Sometimes it depends where one puts time and energy. I choose mostly-except for the art thread- to put my energy somewhere else today.

335 I look at our government and the vermin that infest it, and all I can do is think of Romans 11:7-10

Specifically, Romans 11:8 "...just as it is written: God game them a spirit of stupor, eyes to see not, and ear to hear not, down to this very day."

336 "...Maybe the six justices who voted against certiorari believe the country will be better off without relitigating the election. "

Maybe they believe the Democrats will never have to brazenly steal an election to win again as they did in 2020. I believe they're probably correct in that belief.

338 the Chinese and a Billionaire, whose name shall not be spoken, are causing all of this.

of course Mitch and his grubby brethren don't have to take the money but they do because they are greedy little worms who don't give two shits about anyone else.

341 Election fraud is the law of the land now. The un-Supreme Court ruled that way, because it doesn't want Democrats to pack the court. We shall see.
