The Morning Report - 8/11/21

nipshust.jpg

Good morning, kids. Wednesday and the big three stories are, in no special order of appearance:

- - the resignation of Angel of Death Cuomo as governor of New York

- - the Senate passing of this monstrous $1 trillion robbing of the American citizen of his wealth and of whatever little freedom he yet retains under the euphemism of "infrastructure"

- - the assault on individual liberty under the pretext of stopping the spread of a virus provably to be marginally more dangerous than seasonal flu, this time via forcible vaccination or societal ostracism

Let's start with the greasy bastard who finally was removed from office for what I consider all the wrong reasons; the alleged multiple accusations of sexual assault/abuse. Daniel Greenfield' wit and wisdom kicks it off:

All over Southeast Asia, there are women and little girls bent over sewing machines in sweatshops churning out "Cuomosexual" t-shirts that no leftist letch will buy anymore. You can't buy a Confederate flag on Amazon, or a copy of a book challenging transgender identity, but the site is littered with $20 "I Identify as Cuomosexual" t-shirts and rainbow Cuomosexual face masks. Like Andrew Cuomo, his Cuomosexual crap has no future. . .

. . . Last year, former Governor Cuomo endorsed tearing down President Teddy Roosevelt's statue. Now his cult of personality icons are the ones falling on his walk of shame out of Albany. Not so long ago, they worshiped him. . .

. . . The race is on to replace Cuomo with another scumbag who will quit before being impeached. Cuomo wasn't just afraid of impeachment. There are much worse things lurking in his closet than the knobby grabby hands and the maniacal leer that splits his leathery face. The Democrats didn't want to open that door and neither did Andrew Cuomo. Call it a cover-up. That's what it is.

Andrew Cuomo brought half a century of Cuomo clan politics to an end with his shameful resignation. Ever since Mario Cuomo ran for office in 1974, there's been a Cuomo robbing taxpayers somewhere in New York or D.C. Before Mario lost his last race, he got his son Andrew a job as HUD Secretary in the Clinton administration as a payoff for not opposing him.

A world without Cuomos is almost as unthinkable for New York as a world without Kennedys for Massachusetts. The two inbred political clans even briefly intermarried when Andrew Cuomo wed one of RFK's daughters as part of his presidential ambitions. Those are as dead as the thousands of senior citizens who perished after Cuomo ordered nursing homes to accept hospital patients infected with the coronavirus while blaming the outbreak on the Jews.

Just a reminder for those unaware or too young to remember, Cuomo as HUD chief was instrumental along with Jamie Gorelick (oh boy), Franklin Raines, Barney Frank and Janet Reno in weaponizing the Community Reinvestment act to force banks into giving home loans to people who could never afford to repay them, thereby touching off a chain reaction that ultimately brought about the 2008 financial crisis. You see, it was all because of "fairness" and "equity" and a massive vote-buying scheme. But I digress. Tucker Carlson had a rather interesting take on Sausage Boy Nipsy's downfall:

Carlson prefaced his comments by saying that he was loathed to defend Cuomo but noted that there were a few key questions that people ought to be asking -- specifically with regard to Democratic New York Attorney Gen. Letitia James' motives. . .

. . . "If Andrew Cuomo was harassing so many women, and doing it at the state capital in New York, how come we just learned he's been doing it? Andrew Cuomo has been in office for almost 11 years. . . "

. . . "Why did Lindsay Boylan wait two years to tell us what happened? This guy's the governor of one of the most important states in the country, so why didn't she pipe up before, say before the Emmy Awards? We can't know the answer to that but it's clear she picked a significant moment to share her allegations on Twitter," Carlson said. "Could it be that the second that call was made, Andrew Cuomo had outlived his usefulness and it might be time to crush him and move on to someone who's easier to control? If you think that's a conspiracy theory, you don't live in New York, where that kind of thinking is common. . . "

. . . "Andrew Cuomo was an awful governor. It pains us to raise any voice in his defense," Carlson concluded. "He was a vicious partisan, he was a thug, but if we are being honest, he was not completely insane -- He wasn't, say, Letitia James. He wasn't Al Sharpton, he wasn't even, pause and catch a breath there because it's so horrifying, he wasn't even Bill de Blasio. The most reckless and incompetent human being ever to hold elected office, a man who single-handedly discredits the idea of self-government. These people, just being honest, are worse than Andrew Cuomo. But because someone sat in Andrew Cuomo's lap, they may soon run the state of New York.

Of course the 15,000-plus capacity mass grave in the room that people are ignoring, and for good reason, is Andrew Cuomo's actions in forcing Peking Pox-infected people into nursing homes with uninfected yet highly vulnerable residents and killing them, all in an effort to either save Medicaid/Medicare funds or even worse, to try and use it as a means to damage President Trump's re-election. You can add governors Newsome, Murphy, Whitmer and Lamont onto a gallows for following his lead and killing off thousands of elderly people in their states as well. But, of course, judgement in this regard will likely be in the hands of the Lord when Cuomo joins the Choir Invisible; there is just no way in hell he will see a prison cell for the sex abuse, the financial shenanigans with that book deal and least of all his culpability in mass murder.

Right now Lt. Gov Kathy Hochul will be sworn in to finish out the term until the 2022 midterms. Aside from being a doctrinaire leftist, Hochul was with Cuomo from the very beginning and remained silent throughout. It's a Roman farce at this point.

Moving on, you'll be thrilled to know that this $1 trillion insanity called "infrastructure" passed thanks to the cooperation of 19 Republicans. I went over this yesterday so I'm not going to vent my spleen any further. It's a total catastrophe and a massive power grab on many levels. It also paves the way for the Green New Deal, which will be building a bridge - or more accurately a mass grave - back to the 11th century.

Ironically, while the GOP sold us down the river, it might very well be the insane Maoists who pull our chestnuts out of an even more massive fire - the upcoming $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill:

A majority of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, according to chairwoman Pramila Jayapal (D., Wash.), deputy chair Katie Porter (D., Calif.), and whip Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.), will refrain from voting on the $1 trillion bill unless the Senate passes the Democrats' $3.5 trillion spending package. The costlier bill would fund programs for child care, health care, education, and green energy initiatives. The caucus's leadership, who warned of their intentions in a letter sent to the House speaker's office and obtained by the New York Times, pushed for the legislation to be passed by reconciliation, bypassing the Senate's 60-vote filibuster threshold.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) on Friday tethered the fate of the two bills together, saying the first was "not going forward" without the second.

"Whatever you can achieve in a bipartisan way -- bravo, we salute it," Pelosi said. "But at the same time, we're not going forward with leaving people behind. . . "

. . . Though Senate Democrats have greenlighted a blueprint for the larger Senate bill, it has yet to be finalized. If House progressives are successful, it will delay the passage of the bipartisan infrastructure bill until the fall at the earliest.

Under normal circumstances, it's the GOP that does the kabuki/bukkake theater of "opposing irresponsible Democrat taxing and spending" or some such rot, but ultimately give them at least 75% of what they demand and then they call it a great bipartisan victory in sticking to conservative principles. But the Democrat Party is being taken over by strident virulent Marxists who want the whole pie and have no time for political niceties and this theater of the absurd. They hate America, they hate procedure, they hate anything that stands in the way of what they are demanding. Our only shot at stopping this is if they feel it's more important right now to take total control of the party rather than a pretty big - but not absolute - victory in the expansion of the Leviathan into an unstoppable monster.

Kind of reminds me of Obama's huge blunder in not going for amnesty when he controlled congress for 24 months. We staved off that catastrophe more or less for a decade. We'll see if the Maoists actually do the right thing albeit for the absolute wrong reasons. And, death to the GOP.

UPDATE: Commenter Moron Robbie correctly observes:

And remember, it's not just $1T or $3.5T.

It's $1T or $3.5T in perpetuity, year after year after year, added to the baseline and spent in perpetuity via continuing resolutions.

Finally, the ramping up of rhetoric in forcing vaccinations on the public. While Biden's puppet masters have directed the military to jab all personnel and some private sector companies are following suit, surprisingly three of the four major airlines will not demand employees and crew be vaccinated. That is kind of a big 'effin' deal, but really, how long before this junta sicks the FAA, IRS, ICC and every other damn bureaucracy on them and forces them to comply? Wayne Allyn Root is not pulling punches.

This is the most important commentary I've ever written.

It's time for alarm bells. It's time for me to play the part of Paul Revere: "The communist tyrants and dictators are coming! The communist tyrants and dictators are coming!" They're coming first for unvaccinated Americans. This is 1938. I'm a Jew. I now understand just a little of what it felt like to be a Jew in 1938. No, it's not the Holocaust. Nothing can be compared to the Holocaust. Ever. But 1938 was not the Holocaust. It was the pre-Holocaust. It was the time before the nightmare, when the foundation was being laid to destroy the freedom, free speech, businesses and lives of millions of Jews.

Everything happening today to the American people ... to the U.S. Constitution ... to freedom ... and particularly to unvaccinated Americans reminds me of 1938. This is only the beginning. It gets much worse from here. . .

. . . If government can force us to close our businesses, to kill our jobs, to decide who is nonessential, then this is 1938. Stars on clothing. It's coming. The vaccinated get into restaurants, bars, concerts, supermarkets, planes and trains. They keep their jobs. The rest of us are marked as "subhuman" for life. That's the star. That's 1938. . .

. . . Only days ago, a former Department of Homeland Security official said the unvaccinated should be on the federal no-fly list. That's exactly how Nazis attacked the Jews and others who disagreed with their agenda. It was always lists. Lists of people to be disappeared in the middle of the night; lists of those to be sent to reeducation camps; lists of those to be sent to concentration camps; lists of enemies of the state. It's happening again. Maybe this time you'll only lose your job or free speech. This is, again, 1938.

Maybe they'll declare anyone not vaccinated a "white supremacist insurrectionist." Which is funny because the majority of people who are vaccine averse happen to be black. Just like the Mayor of Boston, and she is not happy at all.

21 Here is what my gut tells me the strategy is with the spending bills.

I'm not saying it's a great one, but I think it is what they are trying to do.

Once 50/50 senate became a thing, they knew something was going to pass. They could do theater of GOP standing tall, voting no, while the Dems shoved $4T of green new deal through.

So they did this $1T deal that is less bad and has most of the horrible shit out of there. They claim bipartisanship and hope that Sinema and Manchin won't vote for the $3.5 because the bipartisan bill already passed.

Sucks, but it's a logical strategy given what the Maoists will do.

If I'm right all the GOPe blather about bipartisanship and putting the country first is cover for Manchin.

I appreciate your political insights, better than mine, but I'm seeing a possible blind spot: You trust the Democrats to honor a deal.

I'm going with another hypothesis. Its all about the international value of the currency in relation to others. That is, the former United States needs to be as reckless and irresponsible with debt and finances as other major trading partners. Rules of each nation have a pact among themselves to plunder and tyrannize their serfs.

50 "Whatever you can achieve in a bipartisan way -- bravo, we salute it," Pelosi said. "But at the same time, we're not going forward with leaving people behind. . . "
++++
An interesting gambit. Nancy would be willing, I am sure, to proceed without Republican votes but she certainly doesn't *want* that outcome. She - and the Party complex in general - desperately wants and needs "bipartisanship." The last major thing they did on their own was the much-maligned "Obamacare" and they banked on the Press spinning it as a success and the Republicans being "bipartisan" in the future to avoid screwing it up. The gambit worked in both respects, but it isn't preferable.

"Bipartisanship" is preferable in all cases. If the scheme works, it's a Democrat victory. If it fails (which it will), it is merely a "bipartisan" failure. This is a very useful false construct. And this throwing down of the gauntlet makes me think that Nancy knows she'll get some Republican votes on the big rework.

Insofar as there actually is a plan, this is probably it. I doubt there is a plan, at least not much of one. I think it's more probable that the State/Party Complex is just moving down the road to power and authority by any and all means, combined with the unacceptability of their ever being wrong. The State must always be right, which is one reason - beyond power for its own sake - that they must always continue and never retreat despite disaster. I suspect that is the stronger dynamic, but the "no control group, ever" aspect may well be part of the loose confederation of plans guiding them.

59 I casually asked on a local forum if the school board referenced a study on the efficacy of masks on children since I'd love to have one to cite (knowing of course there's not one).

I got a bunch of unhinged anti-science replies.

I said, um, so you're saying they didn't reference a study? I'm just trying to amass some data. Do you have a study? I just want something to reference.

Then they screeched about children in ERs. Turns out those are rsv, but regardless any kid with covid in a hospital likely didn't get it in school in July. I just want a study. It's best to argue using science.

67 So in response to all the media freakout over covid surge and overwhelmed hospitals here, I finally decided to drive by a hospital emergency room near my house yesterday evening Northside, one of the largest in the Atlanta area. No lines, no crush of ambulances, no troops to maintain order, no people collapsing begging for help, no overwhelmed doctors shouting orders. Everything looked exactly normal, a few cars loading, unloading, people strolling in and out calmly, one ambulance parked, some nurses taking a break outside chatting. Maybe the panic and chaos was all inside.


Notably, no TV cameras or reporters where there to capture what was going on first hand for their panic reports.

Of course not. To send a man to go look at something is not part of their objectives. It hasn't been for a long, long time. A great example of this is from the financial meltdown (well, its preceding crack-up boom) back in 2006-2009. No one went to go look. No one went to check in on those bubble neighborhoods or talk to the people who lived in them. No one found out about the small-time independent hair-dressers with million dollar mortgages inside those gold-plated, top-rated MBS slices.

No one went and looked because no one wanted to. The narrative was too valuable, and questioning it was too dangerous. Those few who did go look got titanically rich in the collapse, since it was obviously coming once you dug below the surface and went and looked with your own lyin' eyes.

Yeah. I cannot think of a single time that Congress hasn't raised the debt limit when it was hit. They stand around for a month or two politicking about it, the Treasury plays its games to keep financing things, and then Congress - all severe and serious and gray about it all - will raise the limit for the good of the country.

Every time. It long ago crossed the boundary into "unamusing."

Night before last, we had to take my MiL to the E/R, ( She is fine now) where we spent almost seven hours in the E/R area.

Most of the actual cubicles were occupied, and looked to be in use for overflow patients in the regular hospital rooms. She, as everyone else that was in there with us was seen on a gurney in the hallway of the actual E/R area.

And without a doubt, observing the PPE precautions being taken in several of the cubicles, thee were individuals there with something considered to be contagious. Yet oddly enough, my MiL was never once asked her vaccine status, nor was a Covid test run on her.

"The question we get a lot is, how in the world would anybody in Texas sell to [the] Chinese?" Randy Nunns, a local landowner and former president of the Devils River Conservancy, said in the Forbes report.

Turns out it was a Texan who sealed the deal with Sun.

"That intermediary was David Frankens, a businessman from Lufkin, a rough-and-tumble town in the east part of Texas, closer to Louisiana than Houston or Dallas and eight hours by car to Val Verde County," Forbes reported. "Land deeds show that Frankens bought properties from existing landholders and then sold them to Sun's subsidiary on the same day."
The unidentified person who sold the land to Frankens said he did not know he would flip the property to GH America.

Yes. Absolutely. I was thinking of exactly this last night, as it should be front and centre in any discussion of current and looming tyrannies.

The anti-smoking programme was the blueprint; it overturned liberties and 'norms' to an unbelievable extent, rode roughshod over individual rights and private property rights, and it was always going to be used as a precedent for other illiberal steps down the line. Though, as you note, most people didn't (and still don't) realise that because it was 'only smoking/smokers'.

The 31-year-old son of Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson went on a wild rant against the vaccine and COVID-19 on Monday, calling the potentially fatal virus "the motherfucking flu"--despite his own parents being hospitalized with the virus last March.

The White Boy Summer rapper's tirade seemed to come after he paid a visit to a Barnes & Noble bookstore, where an employee prompted him to pull his slipping mask up over his nose.

"I'm so sick of this mask shit," Hanks complained outside the store. He went on to explain that the worker had asked him about his vaccination status and that he lied. Laughing, Hanks said, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I've never had COVID, bitch."

That's not what it's about. It's about getting more compliance. There are three big reasons to travel by air:
1. Business
2. Vacation
3. Emergencies (dying relative, etc.)

Item #2 is mutable and won't drive much compliance. Item one is incredibly important. If you have to travel for work, then you'll have to get the shots. Even if your company doesn't make you, if you have to travel or lose your job, it amounts to the same thing. The final item is also mutable, though it breeds towering resentment in a way that the first one won't (personal vs. institutional resentment).

160 From 2015:

keeping hosts alive with vaccines that reduce disease but do not prevent infection, replication, and transmission (so-called imperfect vaccines) could allow more virulent strains to circulate.

Natural selection will even favour their circulation if virulent strains have a higher transmission in the absence of host death or are better able to overcome host immunity. Thus, life-saving vaccines have the potential to increase mean disease virulence of a pathogen population (as assayed in unvaccinated hosts).

185 Religious Victory: Judge Blocks Mandate Requiring Doctors to Perform Gender Reassignment Surgery

A federal court in Texas blocked a transgender mandate from President Joe Biden that would require doctors to go against their religious beliefs and perform gender transition surgeries.

Judge Reed O'Connor granted a permanent injunction and said that the doctors are "to be exempt from the government's requirement to perform abortions and gender-transition procedures."

In a win for religious liberty, Monday's ruling prohibits Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra from requiring the Christian plaintiffs to "perform or provide insurance coverage for gender-transition procedures or abortions, including by denying Federal financial assistance because of their failure to perform or provide insurance coverage for such procedures or by otherwise pursuing, charging, or assessing any penalties, fines, assessments, investigations, or other enforcement actions."

189 Republicans defend themselves with a silly sophistry. They say "Passing these bills isn't what matters because the Debt Limit stops Democrats".

Oh boy!
Remember how those crafty Republicans stopped Obamacare by voting to let it proceed on Christmas Eve in exchange for a vote on raising the debt limit in March?

Wait, no: The Democrats passed Obamacare and happily voted to raise the debt ceiling.

Education really does not follow the standards. Medicare/Medicaid are tied to a person. SS is tied to a person. Tax Child Credits to a person. But education belongs to the system. If you are under 18 the money follows the System. At 18, magically, the money follows the person.

I watch Loudoun with curiosity - it is the next county over. 20 years ago it was 60% Republican, now it is 60% Democrat. The people of Loudoun elected a woman to county board of Supervisors because she had gotten fired for flipping off Trump's motorcade.

So I watch the parent revolt, and I hear yes, the Left actually went too far and is now getting pushback. But the Left knows how to use power. Parents speaking up at the school board meetings? Simple. Ban them from attending. Problem solved.

And guess what? It is all XYs marrying XXs and having kids. No gay marriage. No trannies.

>>Loudon County is one of the best school districts in the county.I never get tired of hearing this about 2-3 dozen school districts each and every year...

The real metric is that there are very few black and brown students and thus fewer discipline problems, fewer kids with emotional and special needs and typically, intact two parent families that care about their children's educations.

That's what they mean by "good schools."

And that's why parents are starting to fight back against the racist poison known as CRT.

It is, but the results speak for themselves. I will now make an assertion that I stand behind despite the lack of objective data: there is no such thing as a good public school district in the United States. The "good schools" are good only in comparison to the other dross that surrounds them, and are not objectively good. The entire American public education complex is a disastrously expensive failure and should be dismantled in every possible dimension.

I really do think this is a misreading of how politics in America works. We may not like it, but it is always, ALWAYS, Red Team vs. Blue Team. Has been since the 1860s with only occasional blips like the Progressive moment in the 1910s or George Wallace's presidential run in the 60s.

I really don't think an infrastructure bill (no matter how good or bad it is) will change the thinking in enough people to break that dynamic. We'll have some holdouts here, for sure, but for the majority of the voting public it's going to be, "I feel unsafe and Democrats are in power, therefore I'm going to vote Republican this time."

This is where the Big Tech issue shows its influence / effects. Many people THINK they are well informed because of the stuff that hits their various "feeds" / "timelines". Several months ago, I had a heated discussion with a friend who was absolutely convinced the Bubba Wallace garage door pull-down rope was "a straight-up noose". I mentioned the video of NASCAR "nooses" through the years. She of course had never seen it. When I showed it to her (quickly found on one of Ace's posts), she was stunned. It proved that she was not as informed as she thought. That bothered her.

Baby steps, but I seem to be making progress on getting her to actually seek alternative info sources.

Feminine clothing by what standard? Clothing is actually cultural. Masculine clothing in one culture could be feminine in another. Scottish warriors wore skirts, and I wouldn't make the mistake of calling them pansies. Medieval Korean scholars wore clothing that I would describe as "feminine" from my own context.

So what is the context? Is it clothing that looks feminine now, to Westerners? Is it clothing that would have been feminine in his own context? I don't know, and I doubt that they do either. It's patently absurd. There is a greater absurdity, though, which I will get to in my next comment.

This is empirically true.

If you look at graphs of school spending against test scores for math, reading and science literacy going back to the early 70's when the federal and local governments decided to "Fully Fund Education," you will see expenditures and funding sky rocket while test scores remain flat.

I agree that the hazards are being exaggerated, but it's also true that OSHA considers N95s to be respirators, and requires you to have a program, with fit test and physical requirements, and now we're talking about just slapping them on kids.

On to the greater absurdity. This guy they discovered was a guy. I assume he has all the male markers - things like bone density, structure, hip shape, height, rib cage, etc. Maybe they even did a DNA test, though they wouldn't need to do so. The clothing was ostensibly "feminine," though, so they claim he was a trans or a non-binary.

This is patently absurd on its own merits, and it clearly indicates that it is amateur hour at NPR. When you consider their own theoretical underpinnings, sex and gender (they claim it's just gender, but this breaks down quite terribly in their own works) are socially constructed. That is, the physical basis has no bearing and is in fact mutable even within its own boundaries. As such, that person isn't a man. There is no way to prove manhood or womanhood or otherhood from physical characteristics after the fact. It is impossible to know. Their assertion that he was a man is itself a perpetuation of the physically-obsessed colonial western patriarchy. Be better, NPR.

333 Ran Israeli @RanIsraeli
New concerning results, Israel 2021 (Prof. Retsef Levi) MDA Emergency calls:
25% increase in Cardiac arrests & Heart attacks (16-29).
83.6% increase in Heart attacks (Women 20-29).
According to the study, this increase was correlated with Mass vaccination.

https://tinyurl.com/y4dyktta

Deaths in Israel 2020 (0-19)->21% lower compared to previous years.
Deaths in Israel 2021 (0-19)->low at the peak of the pandemic (Jan-Feb).
Since then? ~35% (10-19) got vaccinated,
+we had more deaths (0-19)&Cardiac arrests.
At least 30% of them were exposed before vaccination!

This might be the issue. Not only is the vaccine dangerous, but supposedly those that had covid before vaccine rollout are in danger once getting it. This is what I am waiting for - long term results. A year out, what will we find in those vaccinated?

334 236. What I read on LI yesterday from the article on RSV is that the lockdowns are to blame. Kids are not being exposed to this virus early on so their immune system can can react and build immunity. The article contains a good video from Cleveland Clinic well worth watching that explains this common virus and how to treat it. It also occurs in adults.

It wasn't a federal judge. It was a state judge in Austin. The Texas Supreme Court wouldn't be able to override a federal judge.

Smoking is disgusting. I don't want to be in a cloud of other people's bullshit. That being said, it should be left up to the BUSINESS if they want to allow it.
