The Morning Report - 3/19/21 [J.J. Sefton]

Good morning, kids. Friday and the weekend is here. Hopefully it brings some respite from the assault on our sanity. Fat chance; every time I see someone wearing a worse-than-useless face diaper to prevent exposure to a virus that is marginally more lethal to most people than common flu, which is sort of like putting up a chain link fence to prevent mosquitos, it's a slap in the face and a reminder that you must obey. If it means anything, Rand Paul who is an actual doctor reamed the shit out of Dr. Sigmoid Fraud, aka Fauci for his insane, contradictory proclamations and prognostications that traumatized a nation for the sole purpose of removing Donald Trump from office. Well, they ultimately achieved that and dare I say a dash extra: a clear shot at absolute power and the knowledge that they can bamboozle and brainwash upwards of half the populace, if not more into surrendering their freedom while eagerly assisting the regime in taking it away from the rest of us.

It brings me to my "irk" of the day, which is the idiocy from the punditry and others who continue spewing the nonsense that the Democrats are in for an epic ass-kicking come 2022 and 2024. For example, Josh Hammer at American Greatness:

...dispensing with the Senate filibuster would accelerate the Senate's lamentable institutional decline. The "world's greatest deliberative body" was, especially prior to the ratification of the 17th Amendment, intended to be a "cooling saucer" of sorts that filters out and soberizes the House's hotter, intemperate passions. The filibuster, which is legally not a constitutional or statutory provision but instead merely a rule of internal Senate procedure, has nonetheless attained an ethos of quasi-constitutional status.
Put another way, it is philosophically and intellectually downstream of the counter-majoritarian features that have attained constitutional status, such as the federalism and separation of powers constructs. In a sense, then, the Senate filibuster directly flows from James Madison's famous discussion of "faction" in Federalist 10, the most famous founding-era writing on the insidious threat of majoritarian tyranny.
Nuking the Senate filibuster -- something Republicans notably eschewed during their own Trump-era control of the Senate -- would undermine the American political order, in which counter-majoritarian measures are deeply woven. But it would also be a shortsighted move, even from a cynical, partisan perspective. If dedication to James Madison doesn't prevent Democrats from embarking on this misplaced crusade, perhaps their own long-term self-interest will.

"Oh, Mr. Hitler, it would be political suicide to invoke that Enabling Act because you and your fellow Nazis are going to get your asses kicked in the next election and sent back to the Burgerbraukeller forever."

But Friedrich Ebert sent mean Tweets, right? Hammer noting that Republicans eschewed nuking the filibuster during Trump's first term is risible in the extreme when you consider the permanently-lying-in-state John McCain's thumbs down when it came to eradicating Obamacare. The only thing that stopped Trump cold from tearing down as much of the anti-Constitutional bureaucratic Leviathan from whence the Left gets almost all of its political muscle was the GOP itself in both the Senate and the House. Had they nuked the filibuster there, in order to abolish say the IRS, the EPA or Ed. Dept. (to name only a few), it would have been morally, ethically and historically the right thing to do. But that's getting into the weeds.

DC is surrounded by barbed wire, barricades and National Guardsmen, the military and now local police forces are being purged of "white supremacists and insurrectionists," i.e. avowed Christians and non-Leftists, our borders are being erased and millions of new non-citizens along with the tens of millions already here are about to be given citizenship, and HR-1 will essentially hand over total control of our electoral process to the Leftists forever - and that's just the tip of the iceberg. The only thing standing in the way of this is the filibuster, the fate of which is hanging on by a gossamer-thin red pubic hair's breadth. And it depends upon the ethics, morality and political (if not physical) futures of Kristen Sinema and Joe Manchin. And they ain't exactly Joan of Arc and Nathan Hale.

So explain to me, Josh Hammer et al exactly how, after trying to overthrow Trump since 2016 and then actually succeeding by stealing the 2020 election, the Democrats are ever going to rue the day they blow up the filibuster!

It is just mind-numbingly infuriating that people whose supposed job it is to write about politics can be so utterly blind to what the hell is going on. You expect this crap from pasty frauds like Rich Lowery, whose job it is to keep up the illusion in order to keep the money coming in from the suckers out there who still believe that "next time we'll get 'em good (but not with Trump)!"

But for anyone else to continue not see that America was mortally wounded last November 3rd, was My Pillowed on January 6th and then cremated two weeks later is living in a state of denial that is borderline mental illness. Lots of other crucial stuff going on but peruse the links and they'll jump out at you. Meh, the way things are about 99% will do that.

Have a great weekend.

what about polio? small pox? etc? I wonder if anyone asked that...

29 Assembly Member Ash Kalra, the author of A.B. 655, told PJ Media that he does not intend his bill to "curtail freedom of religious views or political affiliations - conservative or otherwise." He acknowledged that the bill's "definitions are a work in progress."If so, he should seriously reconsider the definition of "hate group."

In other words- you picked up on that too quickly, we need to tweak the definition to hide the true intent.

Smallpox and polio do not mutate as much as corona viruses. So they can get a vaccine, and it works.

That is why I have watched decades of efforts to get a vaccine for the common cold fail. The seed coat or the spike mutates.

This is a very big scientific effort, and we know a lot more today. But bad science is out there.

Are there also White/Caucasian/Honky run Happy Ending "massage spas"over in Asia? If not, why not?

And now this drooling imbecile is occupying the office of the president, and we're about to find out which of our enemies are going to be willing to take advantage of this obvious weakness -- that is, aside from the Mexican drug cartels, which have already swooped in to take advantage of Biden's stupid and dangerous border policies.

It is just mind-numbingly infuriating that people whose supposed job it is to write about politics can be so utterly blind to what the hell is going on.

It's simple; they're Civic Nationalists (or CivNats). They think MUH CONSTITUTION! and MUH NORMZ! and MUH FEDERALISM! are angelic beings incapable of being corrupted. This was Trump's fatal flaw as well. They do not have any tools in their CivNat toolbox that answers to "In The Event Of Pervasive And Complete Systemic Collapse..."

Because, CivNat. They cannot accept that pieces of paper like MUH CONSTITUTION! can be (and have been) utterly and completely ignored when convenient for the powers that be.

The globalist riots and burns multiple cities across the nation in a clearly coordinated manner, the CivNat response is to call on local police to do their jobs.

116 I miss Donald Trump and Rush Limbaugh

--

Now this is what I call the understatement of the century. Last night's discussion of Bongino just kept bringing home to me how unreal it is that Rush is gone. As for Trump, every recent picture I see of him hurts me. It hurts knowing what was so brazenly stolen from us. It hurts watching this spectacular fraud show unfold in the final act to transform America. I miss Trump so very much. What could have been if there was an ounce of honesty and integrity left in our government apparatus.

you're right in that his tweets weren't mean, but as JJ said, this is about mocking the left for their choices on what's important.

plus, i don't believe that PDJT ever opened on anyone, all of his tweets and commentaries on others were in response to attacks from other people. i can't think of a single time he attacked first. but he did always respond. and when he did, it was with overwhelming force, the way one should. and THAT is what pissed off the left (and gop BIRM) he didn't do proportional warfare.

Yes, Trump was no meaner that what is regularly said by Democrats and the MSM all the dang time.

However, he matched them in ugliness (which no other Republican does) AND he is really good at it (he knows just where to jab, such as mocking Mika's facelift and Joe's intellect).

Because he's a CivNat... and yes, I would. America as we understand it (and perhaps as we even grew up in it) is dead and gone. What we have now is oligarchical fascism wearing and America skin suit.

could you get it back AFTER those events? I understand WHY PDJT did things the way he did, but i don't know that even with 20/20 hindsight if he would have done it differently. just my $0.02

There is no going back - the rot is too deep, too pervasive. The Long March has been allowed to go on, unimpeded, far, far too long. And I absolutely concur, I doubt Trump would have done anything different knowing what he knows, because... CivNat.

Because he's a CivNat... and yes, I would. America as we understand it (and perhaps as we even grew up in it) is dead and gone. What we have now is oligarchical fascism wearing and America skin suit.

could you get it back AFTER those events? I understand WHY PDJT did things the way he did, but i don't know that even with 20/20 hindsight if he would have done it differently. just my $0.02

There is no going back - the rot is too deep, too pervasive. The Long March has been allowed to go on, unimpeded, far, far too long. And I absolutely concur, I doubt Trump would have done anything different knowing what he knows, because... CivNat.

I personally don't think the Republican Party as it stands today will ever win another national election in my lifetime. A nominal "Republican" might win an election in a state or county race, but that individual will quickly be assimilated. I expect more and more of the GOP to simply fade away.

231 Part of my morning routine is scanning the articles on AoSHQ from the previous night, just to try and keep up on what has been discussed. I found the thread that discussed 1979 and Ace's comment about refusing to watch the movie "Being There".

I was surprised, so I went to the comments to see what was said about it. Out of over 700 comments, hardly any mentioned it.

Regardless of what one thinks about the social message of the movie, there are certain films that need to be seen just so you carry on an intelligent conversation. If someone has never seen "The Godfather" or "Gone With The Wind", they are going to miss or not understand references and phrases that any reasonably educated person should know.

"Being There" is one of these movies.

There are books I've read that I didn't particularly enjoy but I knew they held essential base knowledge I should have. Motion pictures enable an entire concept to be conveyed in just a phrase to someone who shares the experience. I suggest that anyone who hasn't seen this movie take the time to fill the void in their education.

I think that's Ace's issue with the movie. Like the Harry Potter movies or the MCU, "Being There" was so often cited by the "smart" crowd that it made you wonder if they'd seen any other movies. As he noted in the ONT, that's not so much the case any more, but for those of us who remember the '80s and '90s, there were way too many references and analogies to the movie in opinion articles.

I think that was a small part of Ace's point. Being There was viewed by everyone in the elite classes, and they were constantly talking about it.

I saw it for the first time a few months ago (being a young un, of course) and I found it a lightly amusing little tale of obvious truths. I was mostly curious as to why Peter Sellers was so obsessed with bringing it to the screen.

323 Tom Cotton is one of the many people we have to stop listening to. Nice guy, generally right on a lot of issues. But if you don't understand, as Lizzy has spelled-out beautifully, that the goal of the globalists is precisely, genocide, then you're simply not paying attention.

Serious question: If, say, 75% of the population has absolutely no idea regarding who publishes who in some website, how can you get a politician to subtly persuade that population that yes, these people want to kill you? You try and say it outright, and these people mock you and call you one of those conspiracy theorists the media talks about.

If a bunch of anonymous blog commenters aren't going to write down what needs to be done to these leftist scum, what makes you think a paid writer, or politician presiding over a population of adult children who "don't want to hear bad things right now" - regardless of how true they are - is going to say the things that need to be said?

380 about tired of reading about "mean tweets" as it relates to Trump. To do so even in jest gives credence to the accusation. He did not do "mean tweets." What he did was hit those that needed to be hit right square between the eyes with a dose of truth, and they didn't like it. At the very most, he defended himself when attacked. I simply refuse to play that 'but mean tweets!' game.
--------

I don't think anybody believes the mean tweets b.s I think why that is said is because they knew nobody would understand or believe Biden "won", so they had to scramble for an excuse. It doesn't hold water, but it's all they e got. Nobody would exchange all the b.s. that has already been inflicted on America in exchange for mean tweets.

400 We veered off into the world of overvalued high end collector cars when my point was low end vintage and classic cars. That's the market that's facing decline. My advice if you want your dream 1970 Chevelle, go buy one the price's are reasonable but don't expect it to be an investment, in ten years you'll probably sell it at a lose because the buyers won't be there.

Is a Fox Body Mustang an overvalued high end collector car?
No it is not. Could you have doubled you money on a dozen in the last 10 years? Absolutely.
Looked at the price of early Datsuns, lately? Supras?
How about VW Buses?

I laid it out for you and it is nearly identical across ALL collector markets : Speculate on the most desireable models for the gneration that is about to come into wealth in the next 5-10 years and you will make a killing.

Buy one item that is desireable/valuable today and wait 20 years and it will be a long shot that it increase significantly.

He's awful, but she should have some response to that such as, "You try to mount me and I'll kick you so hard in the nuts you'll go howling off and won't be able to mount anyone for quite some time." (Forgive me, horde)

I suppose that response would have gotten her fired, so maybe something like, "Mount me, Governor? I don't want to have my head displayed like a trophy on the wall in anyone's living room. Goodbye now" she should have walked off and looked for a new job.

I don't think they have much of a choice. Since 2008, they have been pouring funny money into the system to keep the banks (and government) cashflow-positive and this had huge inflationary consequences in assets (namely stocks, bonds and real estate). Recently, however, those inflationary pressures have started to break out of their fairly contained domain of financial assets and leak into the real world. That has to be dealt with. The Fed loves them some inflation, but if it they lose control of it and we get back tot he 70s paradigm of double-digit, broad-spectrum inflation. That would be ruinous and dangerous and they know it.

The Fed is powerful, but it isn't all-powerful. It would not shock me to learn that Powell is getting a bit nervous over consequences and will now try to tackle inflation in his efforts to keep most of the plates spinning.

Guns are a bit different as technology didn't really develop in the same manner or change as much...classics seem to hold their value a lot more from generation to generation.

In the end, I think you'll get some tightening and lower trading profits at the banks. It's going to be a mixed bag based on what the overall economy does, how fast it comes back, The Dying Brain's destructive moves and some of the bad signs we are seeing in manufacturing. I am still short the equities market as I believe there is a correction coming. Prices, especially food and energy are up. Spending is down and artificially inflated by COVID Welfare. I think we make one more decent GDP Target and things start to trend down.

And i never pissed at moaned about my cars and trucks. I never had them for an investment, I wanted them. I could have worked at McDonald's in my off hours for a year and made more money, I knew that going in.

479 I totally think China is behind the "Asian " hate crimes. They witnessed how the Muslim hate crime after 9-11 resulted in mosques being installed all over America, how BLM resulted in many preferences being bestowed on criminals, and they want in on that.

Clean examples of 1st year GT Convertibles (1983) are pulling 30k plus.

You could have bought them all day for under 15k 7-8 years ago.

But go ahead and make me some fries.

Then buy some, come back in ten years and tell me how it all worked out. Just because a couple idiots drove up the price on some "clean examples" doesn't mean shit.

I think you meant - 'Would you like ketchup with those fries'.

483 This Lame Center-Right response "They'll be sorry" shows up in everything. For some reason, some on the Right cannot ATTACK the left. Instead, there's always being "Concerned". As in, "Doesn't Left-wing Person/Corp know they're only hurting themselves?" or "By doing this, Leftwing Corp/Person is sealing their own doom".

There's never a positive statement. Like: "These SOB's are ruining the country and hurting US. We need to take action". Instead the writer is always some lofty, disinterested party "Concerned" about the Left.

484 If you want to assess the severity of the ChiCom virus you would first need to 'adjust' the death toll. Dr Birx suggested a reduction of 25% to account for people who died with CCP flu, not of CCP flu. Then subtract off estimated anticipated deaths as if it had never been released into the wild, like the first SARS. This accounts for codgers who might have died from pneumonia or regular flu absent CCP flu. Whats left, if you could get an honest accounting of overall deaths, would be excess deaths. Compare that to the bad 1957 flu and it might be 2x as virulent. In 1957, life went on as normal. No quarantines of healthy people, no face masks, no totalitarian governor's edicts. We let this happen. I am so happy I moved to Florida in time to vote for DeSantis in 2018. He only squeaked in against Democrat Andrew Gillum, who last came to public attention when he was found semi-responsive in a hotel room littered with drug and alcohol detritus and a passed out male prostitute. You can look it up.
I feel sorry for my friends and family members who still live on the wrong side of a virtual Checkpoint Charlie in Blue states.

485 Next election?

With rigged Dominion machines, midnight trucks filled with ballots, election judges erasing results they don't like, and a senile, sex abuser fraud wandering around the oval office when he stated that he campaigned for the "Senate," ...

what chance do we have?

486 At the pharmacy yesterday I was behind a woman who was waiting to get her COVID vaccine, wearing a mask and stinking of Pot smoke, after she walked to the vaccine line I noticed she had dropped a Joint on the floor in front of the pharmacy counter.
I spoke up and told the pharmacist and got dirty looks from about half the Vaccine line, that says it all to me about masks and vaccines along with COVID.

487 I'm the proud owner of a brand new 1968 Plymouth Roadrunner post coupe. It's clone of the one purchased in 68 for the sum of $2945.00, right off the showroom floor--literally.
One of the things I bitterly regret is selling that car. But a wife (who is not a car fan) and 2 children turned out to be insurmountable obstacles for continued ownership.

488 In November, we had brokered four major peace agreements, were drawing down troops throughout the middle east, we were building a working wall on the border, calling China out for its economic piracy, were holding our NATO allies to their treaty obligations and gas was under $2.00.

Today we're picking fights with two nuclear powers, China owns the media, Congress and the White House, DC is a literal armed and barricaded camp under an imagined siege, the military is conducting loyalty checks with an inevitable purge to follow, the border has collapsed and more and more folks are having to choose between gas and food.

When did this look like a good move?

489 My Plymouth is intended and used as a driver, as such it's worth more (to me) than the mythical Ferrari. And, I suspect, much more enjoyed, with no worries about some dumbshit banging into it, or stone chips, or parking lot dings, etc.
