The Morning Report - 4/30/21 [J.J. Sefton]

tedwtiger.jpg

Good morning kids. Friday and the weekend is here. Rush Limbaugh PBUH used to say (paraphrasing), "There will always be an America. It just won't be an America you recognize." I had a nice dinner last night with a friend and afterwards, as we strolled through a half-empty, generally lifeless Greenwich Village, the preponderance of vacant storefronts along with the very few recognizable places from the old days somehow barely hanging on just depressed the hell out of me. Not only because none of this garbage vis a vis the phony plague lockdowns was necessary, but because it emphasized the feeling of living in some sort of alternate reality. Sure, it's my neighborhood, it's the same streets and things generally look the same. But something is drastically wrong.

Same goes for the nation. Between a combination biological/psychological weapon unleashed by the Chi-Coms and exploited by the Left, and then acts of mass domestic terrorism instigated by the latter to sow division and hatred, all to sabotage and overthrow a duly RE-ELECTED president, we now have an illegitimate junta in power that is going at warp speed - pun intended - to quite literally strip away our rights granted by G-d Almighty and amass for themselves absolute power.

Oh, it's still the United States but it's nowhere near anything that I recognize. Those in power occupy the same Capitol and White House. Faneuil Hall and Independence Hall are still standing (for now), and the actual Constitution and Bill of Rights are still extant. But they are for all intents and purposes mere brick and mortar and a sheet of parchment with some pretty calligraphy. Iowahawk Dave Burge might have devolved into a pitiful Never-Trump schmuck, but this gem of his has never been truer:

1 - Identify a respected institution,
2 - Kill it,
3 - Gut it,
4 - Wear its carcass as a skin suit while demanding respect

That has happened to every societal, political and business institution in the nation and as was demonstrated on January 20th and underscored with exclamation points on Wednesday night, the nation itself. It is way beyond my capacity to put into words just how hateful and sickening to see and hear individuals like Biden, Pelosi, Schumer and the scores of other malignant criminals spout out platitudes like "our sacred democracy" as they both wipe their asses with the Constitution in their left hand then use their far left hand to shove it in our face while declaring Gott Mit Uns and their stolen birthright as the real Americans.

Remember: Diversity-Inclusion-Equity = DIE. And that is exactly what they intend for us. Funny how the Left refers to the Constitution as "living and breathing." Despite that bastardization/mischaracterization, there is something to be said insofar as the "spirit" of the document. It may enshrine and enumerate our rights and freedom granted us by Almighty G-d, but the only way to secure that freedom rests with us. And just like that, Roy Jenson wearing a bearskin rug and declaring "E plebb neesta" just popped into my head. Is that where we're heading? No not Stage 3 at Desilu, but a bloodbath. It sure looks that way to me.

And yet so many pundits and politicians are just going on as if all of this is nothing unusual at all. "Wait until 2022! The Dems are going to get wiped out!" Or worse, "Trump caused this and now that he's gone we can get back to comity and decency and no mean tweets." If you believe that, I have an all expense cruise for two with Jonah Goldberg I can let you have cheap.

Remember, it's Andy McCarthy's precious FBI and DoJ that spied on Trump and his allies, protected Hilary, Obama and now the Biden gang, and is working feverishly to arrest, prosecute and imprison innocent people for the crime of merely showing up at the Capitol on January 6th. A word of warning though to the idiots on the Left who are enjoying us getting curb stomped and abused in the streets and in the courts:

Late last week Portland, Ore., Mayor Ted Wheeler took to video to plea for the community's help to "unmask" antifa. The violence-prone anarchist-fascist group has terrorized Portland with months of violent and destructive insurrectionist riots despite Joe Biden merely calling antifa an "idea."

Someone purporting to represent antifa has responded to Wheeler with a new video. In this video, the masked individual pushes anti-American themes and publishes Wheeler's home address. The individual finishes the disturbing presentation with a veiled threat to kill Mayor Wheeler.

"Ted, we are asking for the last time that you resign," the video's narrator says. "If you ignore this message outright, the destruction to your precious way of life is going to escalate. Blood is already on your hands, Ted. The next time, it may just be your own."

Those last words have Wheeler's clearly legible address superimposed over them.

I have absolutely zero love lost for Ted Wheeler. He is a manifestly irresponsible and criminally negligent mayor whose own leftist hatred for Trump and the concept of law and order led him to allow terrorists to take over and terrorize an American city for an entire summer, while handcuffing the police from protecting law abiding citizens. Yet again, the words of Winston Churchill are appropriate:

"Dictators ride to and fro upon tigers they dare not dismount. And the tigers are getting hungry."

That goes not just for Ted Wheeler but for the Junta occupying DC, every other blue city and state and every damn RINO stooge as well. And not just that they'll be eaten by their own either. Have a good weekend.

Uh, no. I reject this article's framing. The haven't been terrorizing Portland months, they've been doing so for *years.* They aren't an anarchist-fascist group, they're an old-school classical internationalist Marxist group. They aren't "violence-prone" they're a terrorist organization - violence is their raison d'etre. If they were to win (that is, if the Marxists fully took over), they would vanish.

Beyond that, Wheeler can go piss up a rope, as JJ indicates in the essay. He and his ilk have kowtowed to and enabled Antifa and opened their throats to swallow down Antifa cock and ejaculate for many years.

So do what any whore with an abusive pimp does, Ted: slap some foundation over your black eye, gargle some mouthwash and get your ass back on that corner.

35 24 What is the GOPe doing to get Dems to cross over? Nothing. 6 short of a majority in the House, 1 in the Senate, and the useless party can't seem to entice anybody to switch sides. These are people that can be bought easily, so it's either being out bid or the GOPe doesn't want a majority, and I'll go with the latter. Border state reps would be a good target.

-----

This is what has been baffling me for months now. 6 months ago, we all witnessed the Deep State rig and steal a Presidential election (and who knows how many down ticket Congressional and Senate elections). We now understand that the Left controls our election process and has every mainstream media outlet -- including Fox News Channel -- participating in the fraud.

So, knowing that -- and knowing that no one has done a damn thing to prevent the fraud from happening again -- how anyone thinks that the Deep State is going to allow any candidate they don't like to win an election, is beyond my comprehension.

Not to mention, the vast majority of the GOP electorate now is pro-Trump. No one is coming out to vote for any GOP member or candidate who did not stand up against the 2020 rigged election.

49 What difference does it make what angle Brown was shot from? He got into his car, which deputies on foot surrounded, and he attempted to get away, using the car as a weapon. He posed a threat to the cops' lives, and they all had the right to shoot him to stop the threat -- including the ones behind the car.

One thing I don't know: do the Portland cops resent this or not? Are they playing catch-and-release because the DAs make them? Are they actively or passively complicit?

But here's another thing: it doesn't much matter. The government in Portland and Oregon allows, encourages and sponsors it all.

51 Flipping a Texas Blue Rep isn't possible. Most represent deep blue shithole cities and the border types decry the influx of illegals with crocodile tears, seeing only new voters to further support them. Houston as an example has the highest stupid to voter ratio in the nation if you consider a stellar offering like Shiela Jackson Lee, Al Green, Sylvia Garcia and wine mom Lizzie Fletcher.

The DoJ labors currently under the illusion that Antifa is "b" and the ProudBoys are "a" never grasping (allegedly) that to normies at best they are "red a" and "blue a."

Antifa is in for a shock at how quickly they will be destroyed by the DoJ when Donkey party tires of them.

Maybe, but I struggle with that as a reason. Sure, vengeance is a powerful motivator but the dog is sleeping right now. Why rouse it?

So it could be this, but that strikes me as foolish (not that anything foolish would surprise me) and it makes me wonder what else it could be.

What I come up with is that they have learned something about FISA that isn't public yet (though is assumed by anyone with a brain) - perhaps that there hasn't been a righteous and proper FISA warrant since 2001 (or maybe even ever).

113 Today is the Feast Day of Pope St. Pius V.

He was born as Antonio Ghislieri to a poor yet noble family in Bosco, Italy.

He reformed the clergy, supported the foreign missions, published a catechism, revised the breviary and missal, and named St. Thomas Aquinas a Doctor of the Church. In his alliance with Venice and Spain, and with the aid of a rosary crusade among the faithful, he defeated the Ottoman Turks in the famous and decisive Battle of Lepanto in the Mediterranean sea on October 7, 1571.

This miraculous victory saved Europe from being ruled by the Ottoman Empire.

But the Left's hatred of Russia I *can* understand. They hate Russia for the same reason they hated the Nazis, but only after June 22, 1941.

Bullshit. She loves violence when its on her side and in someone else's town. If people decided that Washington needed to be burned because they want changes and the "system isn't responding to any other form of change," she wouldn't be nearly so "understanding." She would be even *less* understanding if the destruction was merely arbitrary, at is so often the case in riots.

150 SP hit a new record. Remember nothing has fundamentally changed in the economy since Trump left. Corporate taxes are still the same, regulatory environment still the same. The Fraud and Democrats have only pumped huge amounts of money into the economy. They are priming the pump to do the same with their phony infrastructure bill. But that's where the road ends. There will be a massive negative impact from the permanent tax increase Democrats are proposing. The worst part is the increased social spending which will not even be paid for with the massive tax increases. Let that sink in for a minute. although some of the recent numbers are good, they are missing expectations. That's the canary in the coal mine. The Fed says they can keep inflation at ~2% "on average over the long run" *insert laugh here*. Inflation, by their own admission, will rise above 2% and NOT average at 2%. Prices are way up and disruptions in the supply chain are making things interesting. By year end and out 18 months things are going to change.

Who also gave us the Tridentine Mass, which lasted for 400 years before the (ptui!) Novus Ordo Mass of Paul VI.

An idiot Jesuit recently said the continued use of the TLM was just nostalgia for decrepit elderly Catholics and would go away once we fossils died off. I can assure His Reverence that 95% of the attendees at my FSSP parish have no memory of the pre-Vatican II Mass. They want a reverent Mass, a Mass celebrating the True Sacrifice, not the hootenanny the Novus Ordo has descended to.

Yeah. First, if the Fed were doing its job then inflation would be zero at all costs. "Price stability" doesn't mean "2% per year forever" but whatever - the water flowed over that dam before the War.

But the government, not the fed, is really causing the inflation mess. I thought it would happen after the 2008 implosion when we papered over everything, but it didn't and it didn't because the Fed was right about something (or got extremely lucky - it might not matter either way). They could indeed contain inflation with their machinations. They contained it to financial assets. Stocks, bonds, real estate, etc. all soared. The inflation was limited there because that's who really had access to the funny money. The primary "leak" into the real world was real estate.

But now they're doing helicopter drops.

The first modern police departments in this country were - depending on who you ask and how you count - Boston or Philadelphia.

Right now I am staying diversified and watching the movement. It still good to stay in the SP/Russell mostly through ETF's (like iShares), but I have weighted my portfolio away from equities. With that I try to allocate on the bond side to pick up some of that activity and yield. Mix in some emerging markets and FTSE for good measure and that's usually good for the average investor. Getting that allocation to the right mix is key and it's all about your appetite for risk- so you need to watch it and not knee jerk. I am a bit more sophisticated to there is a lot of single stock buying selling/hedging I do. I also like some of the gold ETF's for a portion that activity like Aberdeen.

Then they had the opportunity to stop this. They chose not to do so.

I graduated from college in May 2008. I went to a traditional, residential private college in NY state. The place was always hard left, but it was basically tolerant. I was never punished for not being a leftist. I had only one professor who was such an ideologue that disagreement would result in poor marks (and she was upfront about it from day 0 and I dropped her class).

Then something happened in January-February of my last year. Not in the classroom, but everywhere else. That something was Barack Obama. The moment he started gaining serious steam and moving to the front of the line, everything on campus took on a hard edge. It happened virtually overnight. The students, the student government, some of the administration - the tyrants starting come out of the woodwork and I got to watch the initial changes unfold in real time. It wasn't anything official - that came later - but everything became icy and the edges *all* hardened and was *very* fast.

It's a damn good thing I got out when I did. There was only a year of relative normality left.

Hypothetically, if one wanted to carry out violence primarily against leftist targets one could do so best under the guise of any one of the myriad leftist terrorist groups that are supported by our oligarch masters and abetted by the deep state. They are allowed to act with impunity and their model of operation is already to be modular without central control. I am certain criminal gangs of various sorts are already doing this since I'm a dummy and I already thought of it. Hypothetically.

Life Lessons from Las Vegas:

I was at a blackjack table (I enjoy blackjack) and doing what I usually do, betting $10 chips for small stakes. I enjoy the game, but I don't especially enjoy losing money so I play small-stakes and chalk it up as entertainment (which it is, at least for me) expense.

The guy next to me at the table was different. He was a gambler. He spied the small stack of $500 chips that the dealer had in her supply and mentioned, "I'd like one of those."

Her reply? "The best way to get one of those is to bet one."

I don't think he's right. I have seen talk of changes to the Wyoming system, but it's about whoever gets to 50% in a multi-candidate primary being able to move on or go to a run off.

Disliking Trump doesn't make you 'Never-Trump'. I don't much care for Trump, certainly not the way he treated his appointments to various offices.

That personal dislike doesn't translate to disdain for most of of his goals & policies.

342 Scottsdale's an easy place to do it - houses in my mother's neighborhood seem to be going up by about 10% per MONTH this year.

Posted by: Tom Servo at April 30, 2021 08:21 AM

Same in our area. We just went and looked at another house this morning that is listed for $1000,000 over last years assessed value, and they are probably going to get it. Houses around here never stay on the market long, they are usually under contract in a couple of days.

348 But I don't see anything that says, yeah, landslide wipeout for the Dems in 2022. Even if Trump is saying it.

Given that the Gigantic Progressive Voting Fraud Machine has now grown in size and can manufacture votes for whichever candidate the Deep State Swamp wants to install in office, we'll never be free again.

362 "Is Biden The Next FDR? Let's All Hope Not"


Amen! Biden WANTS to be the FDR of the 21st Century. Why? I believe it is not so much his beliefs as his desire for an FDR-type legacy. His designated heir and future Biden Family POTUS, Beau, died at a relatively young age. So how does Joe (pressed by a nagging and narcissistic DOCTOR Jill) gain a noteworthy legacy? By going all-in on trying to re-model the USA into a new model, created by JOE! Then he will not be a footnote in the history books, and will take a lot of liberal love away from his former boss (who I'm betting he hates), Obama.

363 I think it will be different this year. When Trump "lost" he still campaigned for those treacherous Georgia republican candidates, but his voters said "no thanks" and gleefully made Mitch McConnell minority leader. Mitch KNEW what Biden and the democrats would do and he didn't care..his only goal was to get rid of Trump and his voters.

364 Reading a novel, and it has "religious fanatic" character that is just there to give some back story.

I assume if it's not written by a person of faith the religious fanatic character will eventually do really bad stuff-thus proving a religious person (ie. Christian) is really bad.

Why do the wicked prosper is a perennial question. You might enjoy reading the prophet Habbakuk which is about this subject in chapters. he complains to God, and then just realizes his role is a faithful watchman to see what God does. It doesn't mean it's easy

But you know , the world is not everything. If you're a Christian it's a preparation for an eternal world. God sets the wicked in slippery places. Look at say- Hillary Clinton, who while she has lots of money and a certain amount of power, didn't become President and has husband who's a lifetime cheater and doesn't love her. She can't know who her real friends are because people play up to her because she is so wealthy and like all of us will go before God some day.

Leon Cooperman is a shark (ie, not a pleasant guy), Jen, and he's also a traditional, even mainstream, NYC mildly lefty investor. He's been fighting the red-pill all through his battle with E. Warren and he's become a little pathetic. He must think he's fighting "for the soul of the Democratic Party", or some such pablum, but he refuses to recognize he lost that battle a very long time ago. Warren, as nasty and corrupt and superficial as she is, is much more in tune with their party.

376 Beyond that, Wheeler can go piss up a rope, as JJ indicates in the essay. He and his ilk have kowtowed to and enabled Antifa and opened their throats to swallow down Antifa cock and ejaculate for many years.
