The Morning Report - 5/12/21 [J.J. Sefton]

Good morning kids. Wednesday and look what happens when you steal an election and install the most toxic combination of evil and incompetence this nation - no longer the United States of America - has ever had to endure. Beyond our own borders, the ones that haven't been erased yet, where we are rapidly becoming a totalitarian Orwellian nightmare, the world is coming apart at the seams. Once again, it's the perpetual hotspot of the Middle East that's erupting.

Not only is the State of Israel under a barrage of rocket attacks across its length and breadth, its own Arab citizenry have joined the so-called mythical "Palestinians" in attacking Jews and torching synagogues in a country where they are citizens. While there is no doubt that much if not all of this has been orchestrated and directed from Tehran, it is revelatory nonetheless of the Muslim mindset. This would not have happened had Trump not been overthrown last November.

Israel now faces probably its most serious crisis since perhaps 1973 or even 1948 when it declared statehood. You could go so far as to call it an existential one if you start looking at the chess board and the potential moves. The situation is made that much more serious since the current junta occupying DC and the political party behind it is openly hostile, to say the least, against the Jewish state. In a sane, rational world, the IDF should not even hesitate to bulldoze Gaza into the Mediterranean, with due apologies to the marine ecosystem for befouling the waters with waste more toxic than plutonium. Then there's the rather ticklish problem of dealing with a large chunk of your own citizenry who are committing acts of violent insurrection and terrorism against their own neighbors. Gee, doesn't this sound familiar.

Psaki-Psircling back, what this is is Iran both retaliating for Soleimani getting whacked and the recent Jewish lightning strike on Natanz, as well as more crucially testing the strength of the Abraham Accords. The question is, were Israel to pulverize Gaza, as would be well within its right to do, now that Trump is out of the picture would that action fracture the ties between Israel, the UAE, Bahrain and the other signatories, as well as imperil the Saudis and others from joining? One thing that the Accords revealed was that there was no love lost between the signatories and the "Palestinians." But, you have to believe that any action, legitimate as it obviously would be, taken against Arab Israelis by the Netanyahu government might rip up those accords faster than Malig-Nancy Pelosi with Trump's SOTU speech.

Iran, of course, is the key to all of this. It's gambling Israel's actions will destroy the Abraham Accords and further alienate the former United States and the rest of the world. But what if Israel realizes this, as it of course does, and instead of pounding Gaza pounds Tehran? Or Fordow, Bushehr or some other nuke site? Then there are the Chi-Coms and Russians to deal with since they have both cozied up to the Farsis since Trump was illegally removed from office.

This is what is known in the trade as a "situation." In other words, Ho Lee Fook.

Meanwhile back over in this little corner of the planet, the totalitarian nature of the junta in power is in direct proportion to its incompetence. Look on the bright side; with gasoline prices skyrocketing thanks to a sabotaged pipeline (I would not put it past this junta to have caused the shutdown in order to declare another "crisis" as pretext to implement the abolition of fossil fuels), at least BLaM-tifa won't have materials for Molotov cocktails. Not that there's much of any city left to burn that wasn't torched since last year. In that vein, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a woman for whom I have the utmost respect and admiration penned an editorial in the NY Post that just so completely misses the mark that it's shocking, to me anyway:

In the end, because of such protracted tribal tensions, Somalia collapsed into civil war. Every attempt at mediation proved incapable of handling the deep-seated mistrust and hatred that accumulated by each clan over the years; tribal elders, reluctant to compromise, could not de-escalate the situation. With such high levels of distrust, the conflict spiraled into bloodshed.
While such violence has yet to seize America, all the tribalist ingredients are present. There is a blind commitment to one party or the other; emotions are running high; there is a lack of trust in civic institutions. If such tribalism isn't overcome, it's only a matter of time before the situation escalates...
...We are, I fear, close to the precipice of serious destabilization. Many American cities are either militarized (Washington, DC), near a social boiling point (Minneapolis), or have capitulated to anarchist protests and pressures (Portland, Seattle). These tribal quirks run deep on both sides of the aisle. Many Republicans continue to dispute the legitimacy of the result of the last presidential election; while on the left, the woke are eroding the Democratic Party from the inside, as identity politics displace universalist aspirations. Some citizens are viewed as part of oppressive groups, some as part of oppressed groups. A person's individual actions can generally do little to change the immutable characteristics of the tribe to which they belong.

Emphasis mine. Ms. Ali, with all due respect, RUFKM? First, the evidence, both circumstantial and solid, is so overwhelming and massive that the only conclusion one can draw was that the 2020 election was compromised in the run-up and then stolen outright on the night of. That's just for starters. The thing that sends me into a rage-stroke is accepting the premise that there is any moral equivalency between American-Americans (my new hyphenated minority group) and the Left. This is as ludicrous as claiming equivalency between you and the head-choppers and clit-clippers in Somalia (and Minnesota) that had no problem forcing you into a life of brutality and misery that you decided, at the risk of your own life, to flee.

This is not a state of civil war where Bele and Lokai are throttling each other on the bridge of the Enterprise. We have an illegitimate tyranny attempting to establish permanent control over a majority of citizens via the use of the power of the state coupled with the raw power of sanctioned street thuggery and violence. That's what happened in dozens of urban areas across the former USA last year. It's moral equivalents would be Rwanda, Yugoslavia, Nazi Germany and in the streets of Lod in Israel. For you, after all you have seen and lived (barely) through, with death threats and fatwas still on your head, to write this drivel about moral equivalency and clans is beyond tone deaf. It's shameful.

20 Speaking of tribal presence, I take the poll on MSN.com every morning and this morning it was about locking Donald Trump out of Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube. unbelieveably, at the time I took it 55-56% of poll takers supported censoring President Trump. It has since settled down a bit and the numbers are 48-49%. While that is much better, I am incredulous that about half of Americans actually support censorship. It seems we are no longer a free society.

54 When things don't go your way, it's easy to get down in the dumps. If things shift and start going your way, you capitalize. You become enthusiastic about the state of affairs and the future. You start correcting problems.

But beware exuberance. This excess of enthusiasm will cause you to run the risk of overextending and overcorrecting, pushing too far or too fast (or both) and accidentally burning your own house down.

This is what we're seeing with the Junta. They're exuberant. They're doing everything all at once with the cocky cavalier attitude of the absolute victor. And things are flying apart at the seams in every dimension - trade and economy, war and peace, every facet of the state - and in every country.

The danger of overextension and overcorrection is that you may not be able to come back from it. If Israel falls, you can't come back from it. If Iran ascends, you can't come back from it. If America's economy fails, you can't come back from it. If China becomes global hegemon, you can't come back from it. You can move past it and get somewhere new, but all you built has fallen.

We never hear them scolding others who benefit from government assistance, do we? How about:
-- "The auto-filled SNAP benefit card is making easier for people to depend on the government for food."
-- "The free breakfast, lunch and dinner programs at public schools is making it easier for parents to let the state raise their kids."
-- "The continued H1B program expansion is making it easier for tech companies to replace US workers with foreign workers at a much lower salary."

81 Ugh. From the Thinker article on Socialism:
It's tragic, really. Socialists started out with what they thought to be the true salvation of mankind. With each failure of their system, more and more excuses were cobbled together to salvage their faith from the wreckage.

No. Not just no, but hell no. This is not true and our side needs to quit with this shit. Socialism was never about fixing problems (the problems Marx wanted to fix were already solved in his own lifetime, and most were solved *prior* to his seminal work's publication - there's a reason he used antiquated data from Britain to make his weak case). It has always been clear to anyone who cared to read the material and contemporary responses that this position - of the socialist as the misguided savior - is codswallop.

We have to quit doing this. We have to quit with the "they're bad now, but they weren't always" or "they're just misguided" or "they're wrong, but they want what's best as they see it."

No. No more moral equivocation - or, G-d forbid, moral equivalence - with regard to the greatest, most monstrous, deadliest, purest evil ever known to Man.

And that statement right there, which everyone knows and accepts and is in the current discourse regardless of political affiliation, rips off the scab and shows the pulsing, leaking pustule of corruption lingering below the flesh.

What is the H1B? Well, how about the DOL's own words?
The H-1B program applies to employers seeking to hire nonimmigrant aliens as workers in specialty occupations or as fashion models of distinguished merit and ability. A specialty occupation is one that requires the application of a body of highly specialized knowledge and the attainment of at least a bachelor's degree or its equivalent.

Emphasis mine. Wanna know who doesn't work for below-market wages? People of exceptional distinguishment, merit and ability.

Yet that's what the H1B program is for. Go ahead and square the circle and provide an explanation for how this happened if the program was being honestly run. I'll wait.

"Save" as in "control and murder." It's the ultimate form of doublethink.

And since you brought him up, one of my personal favorites (sarc, obviously, I hope) is Pol Pot. Most people don't know (but the Horde isn't most people, so I suspect that I'm not telling you the news) that Pol Pot was the deliberate product of the European intelligentsia. He was educated - and indoctrinated and developed into what he became - at The Sorbonne. He belongs to the French postmodernists. He is their creation.

And they used to boast about him. About that rising star of radical socialism who made good and became the leader of an entire country that was well on its way to socialist perfection.

Odd that they don't talk about him now, eh? Odder still that it didn't result in even a moment's introspection.

No, it's the fault of the pipeline. What people do in response is in their own best interest and the interest of their families.

If it's a problem then remove anti-gouging laws and allow stations to double the price of gas every time they are down to 1/3rd of their tanks' supplies. People would gripe about having to pay $20 for a gallon of gas, but at least they could buy a gallon of gas.

________

I got a shelter dog last summer, after the local shelter sent out e-mails saying it was getting overwhelmed and needed more people to adopt. She's a mix of many different breeds, had been living on the streets, and is around six years old. She's stubborn as hell, but very sweet and eager to please. When I saw the stories about the people taking their "pandemic pets" back to the shelter, I told her not to worry; she's stuck with me for life now.

I read it with mixed feelings. Shelters are a mixed bag. I got a wonderful Airedale female from one who had been horribly abused but still wanted to be part of a human family so it was a perfect fit. But I saw some leaving with sketchy people that I thought they'd be better off in the shelter.

I could never desert an animal unless they were the demon seed and couldn't adapt to being part of my family, which has never happened. If Teddy should outlive my wife and me, the breeder gets ownership.

Bingo. I'm a part of the problem here, and I don't much care. My car was very low on gas (an unusual condition for me - I usually have the "if I'm at half a tank, I'm empty" rule) and while there aren't shortages in my area, I'm in the right region for them. So I went and filled out yesterday to make sure I have a full tank.

Why? Two reasons directly motivated me to sneak out of work and go fill the tank:
1) After the TP and soap shortages last year, I know that most people will overcorrect and add more pressure to inventories and the supply chain
2) I have zero confidence in the ability of our government or industrial institutions to return to service rapidly

That's the beauty of it. It won't matter if it's popular. They will win every election they want to after no one can be purged from the roles and illegals are registered to vote when they get pulled over by the cops for drunk driving.

The Big Cheat only had to work once. That's why the five big cities simultaneously paused counting to dump the Biden votes in after Trump voters broke the algorithm.

Once they won, they would never need to cheat that way again.

Cool. How would you like a pressed fruit bowl?

I am furious with the USPS perhaps more than any other agency. They've always had their problems and they've always been too expensive. That said, however, they were also possibly the premier national post system in the world. Their on-time delivery rates were extremely good. The waste, fraud and abuse were endemic but well within normal boundaries for a government activity. Their conversion from letter-centric to package-centric and reformation of their hubs and distribution since 2010 has been remarkable.

And it all went to shit, virtually overnight, starting in about September. It is astounding. And (wait a moment while I put on my tinfoil hat) I think they torpedoed the USPS as a part of the overall election scheming. I think they nuked it to create openings for their operation.

He started and almost cried out. A pang of pain had shot through his body. O'Brien had pushed the lever of the dial up to thirty-five.

'That was stupid, Winston, stupid!' he said. 'You should know better than to say a thing like that.'

He pulled the lever back and continued:

209 Morning peeps. I seem to recall one of the major revenue streams for the graft and corruption in the Capitol City was the Military Industrial Complex (MIC). Trump crippled that with peace.

I know you are dead wrong. Peace does not equal revenue in war. If you listened to anything Trump said in respect to funding the military, it was to increase it because the previous maladministrations depleted the weapons store and ground the equipment into dust.

Trump spent huge amounts of fiat to increase pay, restock, rebuild, put more new designs on the drawing board and profit the war cartels - even created a whole new branch of what is now the Democrat Party Military.

This junta is paid for by Trump's massive spending on the Pentagram and the MIC.

There are distinctions. My family in Cincinnati are the kind of people that would be considered typical 20th century blue collar folks. The city is, or was, full of people just like them. Working at blue collar jobs, just trying to raise their families and make a living. Not especially involved in politics. My own family in particular have voted D and R over the years. Back when doing so didn't have such immediate and deleterious effects. They are the kinds of people who do not support what passes for current D ideology today. The radicalism and extremism, which is all they are about now. My own family is a litmus test to how all this stuff goes over. Traditionally blue-leaning, but they most assuredly do not support what's going on now.

254 Equity futures down, the consumer price print just surged up 4.2% to the highest level since 2008. Inflation is heading up and is not under control. Jobs were well below expectations, and while there are many job openings they are not being filled and that excess, in my opinion, will be ephemeral. There is too much demand that was pushed forward by government money and the government now provides 34% of household income, a record. Democrats will add to the pile with more spending we can't afford that won't be targeted at the real issues, taxes will go up, and the political environment will become more contentious as they look to crush our laws, traditions, capitalist economy and ram it all through with election subversion and killing the filibuster. Ass to that the deliberate flooding of our country with illegal immigrants and the destruction of our communities and schools by Democrats acolytes, and none of this presages anything good...

Beginning a few days ago, I am leaning towards wanting a scenario of Joe not being POTUS real soon, so Kamala can drive the country into the ditch real soon, giving us a chance to pick-up the pieces and start over ASAP. I may be wrong, but that scenario seems preferable to the slow strangulation we're going through.

How the pieces get picked-up and renewal begins with Kamala remaining as POTUS for 3+ years and Nanzi being Speaker for at least another 18 months, I don't know. Maybe they don't continue. We're on a path leading to a blow-up and chaos; we might as well get that going sooner than later. YMMV.

301 University of Iowa officials who wrongly de-recognized a Christian student group for objecting to same-sex relationships can be held personally liable for their unconstitutional actions, a federal appeals court has said.

The decision came in a second lawsuit relating to the university's treatment of campus religious groups. A three-judge panel with the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals on March 22 overturned part of a lower court's decision which held that dean of students Lyn Redington, assistant dean Thomas Baker, and Iowa Memorial Union executive director had qualified immunity. Instead, the panel said they could be ordered to pay damages for treating the Christian group Business Leaders in Christ more strictly than other student groups, the Associated Press reports.

Denominations usually attract people with certain personalities. I can't imagine a Holy Roller who is used to the hour long Wam Bam Jesus Jam concert and riot before a fifteen minute sanguine pep-talk who will stomach High Church.

Then who gets to define orthodoxy? Paedo vs Credo baptists? Free Will vs Election? Dispensational vs Covenantal? If you try to mix together all denominations, you might get two doctrines: Jesus Christ is God and Mary conceived Jesus as a Virgin, and the latter one I'm not so sure there is full agreement on either.

316 Harris is preferable to Biden here, for a host of reasons. Deny her the ability to run for two terms. Replacing Biden, who has the patina of being "moderate", with Harris, who no-one likes, and no-one voted for, it to the GOP's advantage. The debacle that follows falls on Harris, who as the "incumbent" would probably be on the top of the ticket in 2024.

Plus, objectively, Biden can't do the job. He's a puppet. Putting partisanship aside, the country should have a president who isn't suffering from dementia.

Nancy doesn't matter. When the time comes to get rid of Joe, I think that they're not going to take one of the approaches that most here have discussed. They aren't going to 25th amendment him, and he's not going to suddenly shuffle off the mortal coil while in office.

If they decide to make that move and get rid of Joe, they're going to capitalize on it big time. They'll assassinate him and pin it on "white supremacists" or "populists" or "Trumpists" or some combination of the current class of untermenschen. Then they'll get a casus belli to really get started.

Whitmer wants the Canadian pipeline that starts in Wisconsin and ends in Sarnia Ontario to be shut down because last year a commercial vessel illegally dragged an anchor across it. There was minimal damage and no leaks. Enbridge recently received permission to dig a concrete lined tunnel under the straits to relocate a new pipeline that would have an almost zero chance of ever leaking but that is not good enough for Whitmer.

Further evidence that the Colonial Pipeline shutdown was not an isolated event. These events are coordinated by the Enemy Within.

Test yourself and see if you can read through Foxe's Book of Martyrs. You will get some insight as to what God's Plan ended up being for many of His children.

In the past decade nearly ten million Christians have been brutally slaughtered by Muslims and their government.

There are business (real estate especially), finance, political, ethnoracial, and government interest groups who are fixing to start a civil war.

410 I haven't read the article by Hirsi and I will but she's right that the ununited states are becoming more tribal, and she right about why that's bad. She's also right about how a significant portion of the population believes the elections and, by extension, the government is illegitimate, which is a very bad thing too. Regardless of the reason all of this is an indicator of terrible times to come. I'll read the article to see what else she's said. Perhaps she equivocates too much or something.

Remember, most people think eggs originate at the grocery store and electricity comes from the wall outlet and flows for as long as the bill is paid.

Pretty much every company that I have had the pleasure to work with has processes in place where if the software goes down it can be redeployed fairly simple. In fact, there are staging and pre-production sites where QA tests to make sure that any updates don't wreck the system.

We are supposed to believe that somebody lost the floppy disk to the only copy of the code, when companies such as this have vast departments and DevOps guys who should be monitoring, restarting and reshuffling resources 24/7 since no software runs forever without errors.

As for the data, I find it very hard to believe that they give universal access to the database to anyone. It would never pass a security audit and review.

This smells like a State run operation.

424 Unpopular opinion, again,

I don't understand why everyone is rushing to defend this guy here. The facts of the case are pretty clear, even if I concede that Floyd died of an overdose.

He had Floyd in his custody, causing a situation where Floyd was helpless to seek help for himself, which he almost certainly would have done, since he spent his last 10 minutes alive pleading for the ability to do exactly that.

Chauvin had Floyd prone, face down, with his hands cuffed behind his back, which is contrary to every "best practice" associated with detaining a person who is complaining of respiratory distress. You roll them on their side, every cop, EMT, and even rudimentary first aid trained person knows this. Keeping a person face down, hands cuffed behind their back, when they are complaining of respiratory distress, is fucking retarded stupid, at best, and criminally negligent, at worst.

Posted by: johnson at May 12, 2021 10:31 AM (T3zWB)

426 As Floyd's pleas for help became weaker and he slowly stopped talking all together, and then became completely non-responsive, Chauvin, who again HAD FLOYD HELPLESS AND IN HIS CUSTODY, did exactly nothing to help him. He didn't even get off of him, much less roll him onto his side, attempt CPR, or even get off of him even after the EMTs arrived. Even slapping his face and calling his name - ANYTHING. He just sat on top of him while he died, and did nothing to help the man that he had helpless and in his custody.

If Chauvin had even made a rudimentary attempt to help Floyd, I'd be with you guys 100%, but as it was, he just sat there and watched him die and did nothing. When a person is in your custody, handcuffed and helpless, you have a duty of care to help that person if they are in trouble, and Chauvin ignored that duty in a criminally negligent manner.

It does not matter if Floyd was a POS. Any argument pointing out Floyd's previous crimes and actions is DOA - all that matters is that Chauvin rendered him helpless to help himself, and then did nothing.

Posted by: ccoffer at May 12, 2021 05:58 PM (X3XOk)

428 "How the fucking fuck would he "help himself" after eating a fistfull of narcotics?"

Well, the simple answer is that we'll never know, will we? We can't know the answer to that question, because he was denied the ability to do so, by the simple fact that he'd been rendered helpless to do so by being in custody of the police. I'm not suggesting that isn't his fault. He committed a crime, and the police are going to arrest you for that.

My point is that once he was taken into custody, the officers had a duty to at least help him, and what they did was exactly the opposite of that.

How can you justify the fact that Chauvin did nothing to help once he went non-responsive? Answer me that.
