The Morning Report

The Morning Report - 7/8/21

Good morning kids. Thursday and you'll notice that a category that, for virtually all of the past five years since I've been doing these posts, has been down at the bottom of the heap has now vaulted to near the top. I'm talking about Education and What Passes For It, both the category and the literal phrase. You don't have to be Dr. Bloody Bronowski to understand that the situation in which we find ourselves did not happen overnight but took at least half a century or more to come about. We allowed the educational system of this nation to be taken over lock, stock and barrel by anti-American radicals hell bent on destroying it. In fact, one of, if not the most crucial tenet of Communist revolution is the seizure of academia. Take it from good ol' Vladdy Lenin himself:

"Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted."

They've had at least 60. Everywhere you turn, from politics to the media to the military, to business to your neighborhood and maybe even G-d forbid your own dinner table, we're surrounded. What is it about our nature or the American character that just refuses to recognize existential threats when it's just way too late? It's great that ordinary people, and at least a few individuals on our side of the aisle have woken up, gone to the kitchen, turned on the light and finding a swarm of cockroaches feasting on the crumbs dropping from the maw of a giant radioactive rat with its head turning away from the refrigerator and now staring us in the face, pissed off at the interruption. But look at the clock.

Ridgeway, the CRT teacher, then says that CRT is not being taught in public education -- and that, if it is, that's a good thing.
She tells the camera that "Critical Race Theory is not being taught in schools. It is a theory. It is a lens by which to view history and the way that law and race kind of overlaps [sic] and connects in society.
Ridgeway then backs down. "Can it influence the way that some teachers teach? Uh, yeah, but that's a good thing, right? Because race and racism is [sic] literally the building blocks of this country."
Ridgeway shows CNN the books she uses in her class, including "Critical Race Theory: The Key Writings that Formed the Movement" -- and the late socialist Howard Zinn's error-rich "A People's History of the United States."
"I'm creating little free thinkers and future politicians, and lawyers, and teachers, and changemakers," says Ridgeway. "I'm teaching children to question America. And that's what makes a good patriot."
The public school teacher then explicitly ties her pedagogy to shaping her students' political beliefs and future voting patterns. "Not only do they become critical thinkers, they also become voters, and that is what's scaring a lot of these people because they know that as this generation gets older, a lot of these people that are making these laws will be voted out of office."

"Voted" out of office. You mean like Donald Trump was "voted" out of office. But I digress. Anyway, interesting how this teacher does the Captain Willard non-denial denial of "I know of no such operation, and if I did I would not be at liberty to discuss it." Yeah, Crackpot Disg-race Theory is a myth, or it's "just a lens" with which to examine our history -- the history of an illegitimate stolen land that is structurally racist so as to keep colored people of color permanently enslaved. And Raymond Shaw is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life."

If you listen to the way this "teacher" speaks she sounds as mind-numbed, robotic and empty as the kids she abuses and brainwashes on a daily basis. There's a reason for that; she herself was brainwashed from kindergarten all the way through post graduate by others who were brainwashed before her, going back to our old friends Billy Ayers
and Mike Klonsky with the root of this cancer going back to Antonio Gramsci and Theodore Adorno and the Frankfurt School. Look it up on Wikipedia, but read between the lines considering the latter is a house organ of Big Marxism.

And then there's today's poster child for all this garbage, Ibram X. "Crement" Kendi. Seriously, if you read his words, they're so puerile, inchoate, contradictory, irrational and gobbledygook that an unbrainwashed child can rhetorically rip him limb from limb in a debate.

Kendi's problem is laziness, but it's a particularly white kind of laziness. How to Be an Antiracist, like most critical race theory texts, leans heavily on the personal narrative of his particularly uninteresting life. Kendi manufactures victimhood out of thin air, when his father waves to him on the basketball court, he suggests that might have gotten him lynched or killed by the police.
His grandmother dies after a struggle with Alzheimer's. "A disease more prevalent among African Americans," Kendi notes. "There may be no more consequential white privilege than life itself." Black people have a 3.5 percent higher prevalence of Alzheimer's than white people for a disease that is the fifth most common cause of death among American senior citizens.
When your claim to oppression is your grandmother's Alzheimer's, you're low on material.
But Kendi's story is a familiar one to generations of white and then minority immigrants where the first generation labors hard to succeed, and then sends its kids to college only to have them come back as radicals who complain that their parents sold out by abandoning their dreams.
The old boomer paradigm that fed sixties white radicalism has kicked in among minority millennials of the upper middle class with a vengeance. The new black nationalist surge on college campuses largely owes its growth to privileged black men and women like Kendi, whose parents took the corporate route, while the kids rebelled and went into Black Studies . . .
. . . How to Be an Antiracist is meant to be part memoir, but Kendi doesn't have much of a story to tell. That's surprisingly commonplace among critical race theory memorists whose lack of interesting personal content, beginning with Ta-Nehisi Coates' Between the World and Me, has only made their works more successful. If Obama's memoirs offered elements of the exotic, the black middle class activist against whiteness succeeds because his story is familiarly white.
We have come a long way from Eldridge Cleaver's Soul on Ice or Alex Haley's dubious Malcolm X biography. Today's black nationalist is a suburban college kid nurtured by a middle class two-parent family who denounces the suburbs, the middle class, and families like his as racist.
But the familiar problem, which Kendi only loosely describes in his chapter on dueling consciousness, and which is better embodied by the title of Black-ish, is that the generation of middle class black parents who kept their children safe from crime (Kendi's father put up a basketball court in their backyard because he was worried about his son getting shot) succeeded all too well. Like too many generations of Irish, Italian, Jewish, Latino, and Asian parents, they raised radical woke snowflakes who are good for little except complaining . . .
. . . How to Be an Antiracist doesn't convey a racial crisis, but the crisis of an American upper middle class which has lost touch with its own roots and whose children have become an enemy of its aspirational values. That, more than anything else, is leading the country into the kind of shopworn Marxism that Kendi and other radicals peddle as narcissistic identity politics.
Defining everyone, including his parents, as racists, interpreting and reinterpreting the world through academic lenses, is the hobby of privileged people who don't have real problems.
Ibram X. Kendi may not have real problems, but the rest of the country isn't so privileged.
And Kendi has become another of the problems undermining the black community, destroying the middle class life his parents worked so hard to achieve, and tearing apart America.

As usual, Daniel Greenfield does an outstanding job in exposing this dangerous, vapid fraud. And now that parents are finally waking up to the wolf at our throats, naturally the defilers of our children are screaming bloody murder and "racism!" while hiding behind the First Amendment.

Let me say here and now, and this might shock you, but to hell with the Constitution. They have destroyed that document now that they have in effect overthrown the country on which it was based. We are in essence political prisoners, internal exiles in a territory that was the USA. Trying to fight by rules that our new overlords use alternatively as a shield and a cudgel to attain power is useless. We have got to wrest the next generation away from these bastards if we have any chance of overcoming them, as well as the radical homosexuals intent on their being reduced to catamite status. Thank you Gay Mens Chorus for "coming out of the closet" and confirming that nightmare.

If we survive this "premeditated invasion" paraphrasing FDR, we must make sure that this cancer never metastasizes again. If having a first amendment means giving rise to what we are suffering with right now, then to hell with the First Amendment.

And abolish the goddamn teachers unions.

Their latest radio commercial on a classic rock station I listen to:

"Michigan Dept. of Health and Human Services would like to inform you that you could experience side effects from the vaccine... of awards, prizes and chances to win more!"

How ridiculously unprofessional, especially in light of the fact that there are thousands of documented cases of severe adverse effects from the vaccine, from blood clotting to myocarditis or pericarditis in young adults and children to even death.

23 After spending years researching education, it is apparent that how we teach is highly ineffective even before layering on leftist indoctrination.

67 "I'm creating little free thinkers and future politicians, and lawyers, and teachers, and changemakers," says Ridgeway. "I'm teaching children to question America. And that's what makes a good patriot."

Her Utopian future is a world of self-loathing, misotheistic, America hating parasites.

"Free Thinker" is slang for militant atheist.

I find it interesting that the founders of this Republic said that it is only suitable for a religious and self controlled population, completely unsuitable for any other. Her training is to create those who can only be civilized through despotism.

73 What is it about our nature or the American character that just refuses to recognize existential threats when it's just way too late?

==

Seems pretty simple, at least as it relates to modern America. We've had it way, way too easy here from a political freedom and economic freedom stance. We've always had plenty of everything. Plenty of food. Plenty of material things. Plenty of freedom. Plenty of liberty in comparison to the ugly history of mankind. Struggles from some of our bumpier times (Civil War, Depression, etc.) were overcome and things fell back into place. It leaves a feeling of "it could never happen here." Pretty simplistic. When you toil away your day thinking of things to be fake outraged over, like Aunt Jemima's picture or peanut butter and jelly sandwiches being racist, or fireworks fumes affect "people of color" more...you just have no basis in what suffering really is or what true threats really are because you've never lived it, nor do you think you ever really will. We're collective ignoramuses.

76 The commercial prior to Michigan Dept of HHS latest "side effects" commercial was blatant propaganda as well.

They had a spokesperson state "here are reasons your fellow Michiganders are getting the COVID vaccine". And then they had the following:

"I'm pregnant and getting the vaccine to protect my baby".
"I'm getting the vaccine, because I believe in the science".
"I'm getting the vaccine, because I want to get back to living life."
"I'm getting the vaccine, so I can hug my grandma again. (voice sounds like she's crying)"

Ironic that the first example they use is of a pregnant woman. Likely because they know the info out there states that pregnant women should *not* get the vaccine, because of unknown risks.

If you start at the 70's when the push to "fully fund" education started and charted it against standardized test scores for math and reading, you will see teachers salaries and benefits rise exponentially while test scores are flatlines and even tick down.

Which is why they are constantly fucking with it to cover for their incompetence.

110 San Antonio has always been a strange place. It was a bit of a backwater which is changing due to the I35 corridor and Austin's March south, but the mix of hard headed ranchers, majority Latino population and massive military presence made it seem like a city with ADD. They have never understood what the Alamo is lurching from trying to market it as a schlocky tourist attraction to trying to ignore it. It enrages most Texans who visit that it is surrounded by vendors hawking Chinese junk, and a gaggle of Ripley's type attractions topped off by the fact that most visitors have no reverence or respect for what happened there.

I don't think so. Many modernists have tried and failed. I often wonder if anyone has the intelligence to recreate what the founders came up with. There's a theory that human intelligence peaked during the Renaissance and we're on the down slope.

But that doesn't really answer your question. I think what you're asking is if we should be constrained by a set of rules that our enemies do not follow. America has had the luxury of being able to fight with one arm tied behind our back and still come out on top. We've never really faced extinction, so it was no big deal to abide by the geneva convention, to give terrorists the rights of prisoners of war, etc.

So we've acquired this Hollywood mindset where the good guys can handicap themselves and still save Mrs Garcia's 2nd Grade Class. But that's not how the real world works

That was unreal, Lizzy. I'm sure that collection of side-by-sides are a mere fraction. It's unconcionable the amount of purposeful suppression of dangerous side effects there are. Evil, wicked, sinister.

What I found particularly weird is that the HHS dept actually had a "frame" for you to use so you could plaster yourself on your social media with a cutesy graphic declaring "I got my Covid-19 Vaccine...We Can Do This!" And people used it! SMH

We never really had a Trump Administration.
What we had instead was one honorable individual, Donald Trump,
trying to function as a duly elected President,
while beset with a thoroughly corrupt pervasive Uniparty Establishment Administration
composed of traitors, liars, criminals, and grifters at every level of both state and federal governments!

160 Trump was ALL ALONE in DC.

All the Trump critics need to remember this fact. It is amazing he got as far as he did, when the military was in open rebellion against him, the DOJ was constantly trying to find a crime that fit him, the bureaucracy was conniving against him, and the intel community was laying trap after trap.

Have a small mercenary group assassinate the leader of a shithole country.
Next, spread a few million around to a few dozen top officials of said country.
The billionaire comes into the country expressing concern and calling for calm. The bribed officials publicly ask the billionaire to help them restore order by "temporarily" assuming complete power.
After a short period of injecting money in high visibility public programs, the billionaire temporary leader is crowned monarch of the shithole country.
As other billionaires copy the model, they compete with each other to transform their shithole countries in a race for Nobel Prizes and other meaningless accolades.

We're going to find out that it's the red states that are driving all the job growth there is, and the blue states are dragging it all down heavily.

We will get two news reports in a row. The first will be that the economy isn't doing very good and we need a massive bill in Congress to fix it. The next report will be about how dangerous it is to live in Florida (without any numbers about hospitalization rates or deaths).

That is an interesting angle. I wonder how much of the hatred towards the retiring generation has to do with SSI insolvency and comprehensive rationing that always accompanies socialism.

Or, by demonizing the last generation that received a meaningful education, and also the last generation to see what relative freedom and liberty looks like, it is easier to discredit and eventually eliminate them.

314 So look at these two pieces and why. Typically viruses weaken. But look at what the other guy is saying. Think of it (the virus) as being cornered so it attacks harder. That is what mass vaccinations are doing. This is one grand experiment killing so many people. Lab rats.

https://tinyurl.com/cr678jr4
Do not be afraid of the variants. Viruses mutate all the time in minor ways (97% homologous). Usually, the virus becomes more transmissible but less deadly and this is likely what will be proven with the new variants. The recommendations above are not likely to change due to new variants, so ignore the establishment's perpetual fear machine.

https://tinyurl.com/yfumchtt
"Central to these was the notion that mass vaccination with the current crop of highly-specific, spike protein-targeted, experimental vaccines, might place an extreme form of selection pressure on the evolving virus. This could in turn accelerate the generation of 'variants of concern' or even produce a 'super-variant' that is both more dangerous and vaccine resistant."

Hold firm. A 75-year-old nurse I know has had the vax and warns everyone she knows against getting it if they've already had COVID. A close friend who had COVID and the vax says the second shot will send you back into how the disease felt. She said it was shorter than the disease itself, but it makes sense to me that those of us with antibodies will react differently to this than those who are sure they haven't had it. MO has had religious exemptions to viruses and won't mandate this one. I'll likely never get to give blood again since I won't mask to do it, the bastards, but I'm NOT getting this shot.

Seriously, a lot of the alleged facts flying around are about as solid as the global warming scientologists.

facts from doctors on the ground in the frontline using Ivermectin and HCQ.

Yet the uptick in cases and deaths in Israel and other places around the globe.

the alleged facts are get the vaccine and it won't harm you and you won't get the virus or it's variants

360 349 "And abolish the goddamn teachers unions"

Abolish all government run schools. Bulldoze all existing schools so that no one is tempted to use that outdated model of education. Issue pure vouchers for each kid to the parent(s) and let them use the free market system to get an education. Have each kid take a test each year to show they are making progress and pull the voucher if they fail.

364 Joy Reid is pushing the narrative that the "radicalized parent activists" who are "targeting school boards" are tied up with QAnon.

These people really don't know the meaning of the words they [ab]use.

The proper invective is "reactionary parent..." where "activist" is also misapplied. "targeting" clearly is being used as a trigger word. And this dunce knows absolutely nothing about QAnon.

But serial slander and gaslighting seems to be the only way these people can communicate these days.

I completely agree. It was easily predictable that the Republican voting base wouldn't suddenly turn on Trump and embrace 2003 callbacks to the corporatist Republican Party. That Mitch thought it remotely possible shows that he has no idea who he supposedly leads. He has no business being leader of this party in the Senate.

But, he obviously felt significant pain because of that mistake, and he's turned from the source of the pain. He won't be eager to experience that again. Hence, the party as a whole embracing Trump in word, if not entirely in deed.

Yep, no healthy young person needs a vaccine. Dr. Malone (inventor of the mRNA technology used in the vaccine) even said that it makes no sense to give the mRNA vaccines to teenagers, who are at very low risk of serious covid complications, because the unknowns about the mRNA vaccines outweigh the risks of the disease for them.

But all the self-professed "science" lovers on the left didn't want to hear that. They love science sexually -- but only if science confirms their pre-existing beliefs and biases.

For a single man who was literally alone in DC and under investigation by his own party for his first two years (when they controlled all of Congress) and then being #RESISTED for his last two years before China said "jump" and the Democrats and Republicans asked how high, I think he did pretty well.

If nothing else it was nice to be reminded of what it was like to have a president who loved America and Americans again, and to remember briefly what it used to be like for America to be a producer.

435 CRT-believers say, "...only honest History about slavery and race relations, not CRT, is being taught in K-12!!!"

OK. But what is honest history to them? It could be like this: History clearly shows that whites inherently hate all people who are not white, and history tells us American whites intentionally enslaved black Africans out of pure, inherent hatred, and have been systematically and severely oppressing blacks from 1619 to today, leading to the on-going economic devastation of the black community, solely due to race hatred and active discrimination by all whites in the US.

Os something like that. No use of the term CRT. Their history-viewing lens can have many large distortions - by design. The CRT-instruction denials by the radical teachers are simply word games

453 I have a red-pilled friend I can have legit discussions with. Back in 2018 I asked him hypothetically when you would deploy an "op" against Trump for maximum electoral impact. Like the engineered crash in 2008.

Would it be early enough so he could do something about it? Or late enough that it might not make a difference?

We decided between us that Spring of 2020 would be the ideal time to deploy the op.

Point is Trump was put in an untenable position politically and he navigated it as best as any person could be expected to. He is rightfully to blame but he had more than one big thing at stake when he made each of his decisions.

Or are we supposed to assume that when a dinosaur died, its compatriots performed a funeral and buried the deceased miles below the surface of both the ocean and the ground below the ocean.

Dumbass religious 6500 year absolutism does nothing but hurt us. Get a reality grip.

You did understand that the four out of nine was specifically restricted to the employees at the state capitol, right? It was here in the quote I posted where it says:

"The California state Capitol has reinstated its mask mandate for all legislators and staff regardless of vaccination status after an outbreak of nine new COVID-19 cases was reported among employees last week..."

504 JJ Sefton, the Constitution requires a moral people. But God gives us free will. My Christian Chinese friend who became a citizen the other year and voted for Trump once said (before he understood our form of government): "Americans have too many freedoms." It's not we have too many freedoms, it's what we do with those freedoms that matter. Your excellent summaries are full of the degradations of our society. But there are those who do much good with their freedoms -- they are moral. Do they get the same coverage and praise? Are they upheld as truly great citizens? I would go as far as to say their works, underwritten by God, have supernatural healing power. Why do we ignore them?

I used to get stressed when I saw the wrong profiting or massive sums of money being pumped into a campaign to benefit evil.
But then I saw how much money Soros and Bloomberg lost on elections. God can render their efforts impotent.
I no longer worry about these things. Don't lose focus on the good being done or those who work tirelessly for good. Evil wants us to lose hope and forget God and the faithful laborers.

It's not about praising moral people. In fact, one should not have to praise moral people for being moral. It should be expected behavior to be moral.

But again this misses the point.

We are in an existential battle right now and it's not looking good. What I am driving at is, how does one construct a free society when there are those who seek to use those freedoms to bring it down?

If we curb freedom, then we're hypocrites. If we allow them to exist and propagandize, we're suicidally insane.

Bit of a pickle.

So you are totally cool with a private citizen being gunned down in cold blood because the government wanted to make a point about how cheap our lives are and how disposable the Ruling Class sees them.

Because that is what we are left with, and if that is the case and we still sit around whining about it, then it shows how what worthless victims we want to be.

Only Leftists compete for Most Oppressed Victim. So many will ostrich this because the alternative is something that can't be discussed here.

It's not about their beliefs and words anymore, it's about their actions. Legalizing crime, for example. Boudin's family has wanted exactly this moment since they set foot here in the US. Boudin is not "exercising his rights" he's destroying others' rights and lives. This is not "freedom of expression"!

You panic and roll over too easily. You want life to be easy with buffers and great margins of comfort. We have political prisoners in this country who are worshipping God from a cell. No margins of comfort. Can you be that brave and endure what may come? Our freedom is an illusion if we turn it over. The left's evil power is an illusion if we see it for what it truly is -- illegitimate.

527 On CRT... If a teacher teaches CRT, it is abusing your kids by telling them skin color is determinant of who they are. It is not in their duties to impart sociocultural values. This is a privilege of patents and not of teachers. It (damaging a child's identity and self esteem) could have long term noxious effects If they have abused your child, swear out a warrant for arrest on those charges. If the school and the Union come to the teacher's aid, so much better. Step two is to sue the teacher, school district, Teachers union, CRT textbook publishers and authors and your State DOE for the tort of abusing your child... Or tacitly allowing the abuse. Sue the skin off of them and their retirement funds.

528 I was wondering myself, recently, how long before there are no "black activists" that will have ever experienced anything truly "racist" in their entire lives.

It's getting close. When your grandmother dying of Alzheimers that is 3.5% more likely to strike black americans than white is your go to example, you're already there.

I wonder what moron Kendi would say when faced with the statistics that white people are 3138% more likely to get skin cancer than black americans. You see, some things are GENETIC, dipshit.

529 The adults of today born and raised before Obama are stunned at the way healthcare actually worked before him.
I recently told how before Obama I got cataract surgery almost entirely paid for by Medicare of which my co-pay was only $100.00 for both eyes, while paying for my wife's cataract surgery under the current Medicare of $540.00 an eye. All due to Obamacare.
The stunned look said it all.
Likewise I look at todays youth going into a Job market expecting to be paid $20.00 an hour for and Eight dollar and hour job that pays $15.00 and hour and are unhappy with it.
To the point they sit at home and don't work.
Expecting the government to pay them. Expecting Obamacare to take care of them.
expecting paradise free.
