The Morning Report

The Morning Report - 2/4/22

Good morning, kids. The weekend is here and while, by any honest accounting, it was yet another terrible, horrible, absolutely no good week for the Biden junta as well as the globalists in general, they're still at the controls, hell bent on creating paradise on earth no matter how many lives they destroy.

With everything that isn't being pulverized with a wrecking ball disintegrating of its own accord thanks to the full on implementation of anti-free market, anti-constitutional, and anti-sanity economic and social policies, which more and more disparate groups are finding common cause to oppose via their shared misery, does the junta and the Democrat Party back off, engage in humble introspection and reconsider what they're doing? No. They blame the victim while simultaneously shoving a few shiny objects in its face in the hopes of causing a distraction. This is akin to John Wayne Gacy in full clown regalia attempting to make a balloon animal for a child while sodomizing it at the same time (see also: SUNY Fredonia. That's a cranium just begging for a tire iron).

First up, is this impending Ukraine non-crisis "crisis" that allows a geriatric dementia patient to pretend he's George S. Patton in standing up to the Russians. Here's the estimable Daniel Greenfield to burst that bubble.

To believe that Biden is about to get tough and go to war with Russia, you have to also believe that there's a Moscow hotel tape of Trump and all the other Russiagate nonsense and lies.
Even while the Biden [junta] issues meaningless threats of "devastating" consequences and "disaster" for Russia, it's also made it clear that there will be no troops in the Ukraine.
And there will also be no sanctions on Putin's Nord Stream 2 pipeline (one of whose lobbyists is a Schumer backer) even as the Biden [junta] not only killed the Keystone XL pipeline, but the Greco-Israeli East Med pipeline. The Biden [junta] just got through lobbying Democrats to filibuster a sanctions push by Senator Ted Cruz on Nord Stream 2.
Is it any wonder that Biden signed off on a "minor incursion" by Russia.
The only way there could even be a war between Russia and the U.S. would be if Putin decided to invade Poland. And even then the same [junta] which turned over Kabul to the Taliban, stranding Americans behind enemy lines, would turn Warsaw into the new Saigon.
You can accuse Biden of many things, but being a warmonger isn't one of them. . .
. . . But Biden would like a fake war with Russia. And Putin probably wants one too.
Democrats have played this game for a while, building up tensions with Russia in the media, while remaining good friends behind the scenes. The more the public thinks a war might happen, the tougher and more heroic the Democrat in the White House seems. And when a war that was never going to happen, doesn't happen, they also look like great peacemakers.
The Cuban Missile Crisis blueprint has been rerun any number of times. During the Cold War it was a useful defense against accusations of Communist sympathies. Now it's a failed attempt to attack Republicans and distract the public from runaway inflation, a massive economic mess, the pandemic, crime in the streets, and a dozen other Biden [junta] failures.
But the vast majority of Americans aren't paying attention and don't care. . .
. . . Neither Biden nor Putin want to fight a world war. And if there were any chance of one happening, the troops would be going home right now. But both profit from the illusion of war.
Biden wants to pretend that he stopped a war and Putin wants to prove that America is weak.
The odds are that by the time this is over, both will be declaring victory to their respective domestic constituencies, but only Putin will have actually won while Biden will have lost.

Bingo. Matt Lee, about the only person even approaching that of an honest journalist in the media that is openly boasting of its non-impartiality in being purveyors of globalist agitprop, who somehow still has a job at one of the biggest purveyors of agitprop, the Associated Press, utterly humiliated State Dept. stooge Ned Price over the latter's claims that Russia was about to create a "false flag" operation as a pretext to launch an invasion of Ukraine.

Then again, what's to be humiliated about since to the best of my knowledge, none of Matt Lee's colleagues picked up the figurative tire iron and continued the pounding of Price as they should have. Well, their job is "to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable," as the saying goes. Except the afflicted in this case was Ned Price and the illusion of a competent administration, instead of a bumbling, fumbling disastrous "JV squad" of a junta that's illegitimate to boot.

Speaking of JV squads, the other distraction was a Delta Force raid in Syria (we're back there again?!) that supposedly took out the leader of ISIS. In theory, that's a good thing. While there are claims that the raid also took out nine civilians, the DoD is countering that they died as a result of their target detonating a suicide vest to avoid capture. I have no love lost for these dark age savages, but considering there wouldn't even be an ISIS in Syria or anywhere else had Biden not unilaterally decided to hand Afghanistan, $80 billion in US military hardware and dozens, scores or even hundreds of American civilians still trapped there (we can't get a straight answer from the White House), the fact that he's puffing up his chest even at the risk of rupturing the colostomy bag strapped to his thigh is galling in the extreme.

They don't care. Well, perhaps they do care or else they wouldn't be engaging in these cheap, wag-the-dog theatrics. Most transparent "administration" evah! Transparent frauds. And as an infamous, dog-eating, vapid sociopath with narcissistic personality disorder would say, "let me be absolutely clear"; the lives of our servicemen who are being put in harm's way merely as the very human equivalent of styrofoam columns to foist an illusion on the American people are priceless. What is being done to them and has been done to them since Obama performed his fundamental transformative Stalinist purge of soldiers loyal to the Constitution instead of Saul Alinsky, plus the forced vaccine mandates, the indoctrination with actual Marxist-inspired anti-American propaganda and the morale-destroying Diversity Inclusion Equity rot are nothing short of acts of treason.

Well, they rigged an election and now they're going for the jugular.

And we have witnessed over the past 20 months a coup d'etat against democracy and the controlled demolition of the United States Constitution—and the Bill of Rights.
And starting with the censorship—James Madison, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson all said the same thing—we put Freedom of Speech in the First Amendment, because all of the other rights that they were trying to protect relied on that right.
If you give government the license to silence its critics, you have given them the capacity to commit any atrocity they want and to obliterate all the Amendments and Rights of the Constitution.
As soon as they got rid of Freedom of Speech they went after Freedom of Religion. They closed every church in this country for a year, with no regulatory process, no public hearings.We are watching something now that I never believed that I would see in my lifetime. . .
. . .They are putting in place all of these technological mechanisms for control that we've never seen before. It's been the ambition of every totalitarian state since the beginning of mankind to control every aspect of behavior, of conduct of thought and to obliterate dissent. None of them had been able to do it. They didn't have the technological capacity.
Even in Hitler's Germany you could cross the Alps to Switzerland, you could hide in an attic like Anne Frank did. ... So it was possible to escape [to escape]. Many died truly, but it was possible.
You have a series of rights, as flawed as our government is, you can still go out and go to a bar. You can go to a sporting event. You can get on a bus or an airplane and you can travel. You have certain freedoms.
The minute they hand you that vaccine passport, every right you have is transformed into a privilege, contingent upon your obedience to arbitrary government dictates. It will make you a slave!

You know who said that? It wasn't Donald Trump. It wasn't Ted Cruz. It wasn't even Tucker Carlson. It was Robert F. Kennedy Jr. As an aside, it was that mere invocation of Anne Frank that got him banished from YouTube. But Ted Danson's bloated, filthy, diseased puli-looking whorehouse mop-top gets two weeks paid vacation. Go figure.

It's probably safe to assume that on any one of a dozen issues, he and I are on opposite ends of the spectrum. But on what is undoubtedly the most important issue of all, personal freedom, I thank G-d that he and I are singing from the same hymnal. This goes to the very heart of the existential crisis we are confronted with. The Left in this country do not merely disagree with us. They consider us evil; a cancer to be eradicated because they consider the country itself evil and a cancer to be eradicated. Yes, it's technically political, but in a real sense it's personal.

It's why I spent so much time on Caryn Johnson, the celebrity who wears the Goldberg brand of Jewish blackface. Her attitudes about the nature of the Shoah reveal her attitudes - and that of far too many people on the Left regardless of ethnicity - about her political enemies. She and her paymasters in Hollywood and more alarmingly, the junta in DC and its enablers in and out of government are dangerously close to using their power much like the you-know-who's did you-know when. Whether because you're white, Jewish, Christian, male, heterosexual, unvaccinated/unmasked or merely want to state an opinion, you are no longer merely a political enemy; you're an evil to be eradicated.

On a hopeful note, if there are folks like RFK Jr., Naomi Wolf and Glenn Greenwald out there, perhaps we're not so alone as we thought we were. Our mission: find them amongst family, acquaintances and co-workers and make common cause.

Have a good weekend.

13 Managerial society is a class society, a society in which there are the powerful and the weak, the privileged and the oppressed, the rulers and the ruled. If we base ourselves upon what we know from the past and not on dreams of other worlds, there is no reason to think that the law which decrees that all social groups of any size try to increase their relative power and privilege will be suspended in managerial society.

"Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, tradition has always declared that 'homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered.' They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.

"The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. This inclination, which is objectively disordered, constitutes for most of them a trial. They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. These persons are called to fulfill God's will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord's Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition."

i suspect it IS all about the paycheck, but i'm wondering if there isn't the benefit of pulling the mask off of more leftists. I couldn't tell you a bloody thing about the masked singer other than it's on TV, and maybe jenny mccarthy might be a judge, one of the 90s blonde bimbos anyway i think.

but mrs sturm is telling me, because she follows the celebrity news and gossip (don't ask...), that the two who walked off the set are getting pretty big pushback from fans. seems like this was a bad move on their part.

now, not sure that was Rudy's goal, but i'll take the accidental bonus when we get it.

101 I seriously cannot imagine having a child in the public school system these days. Public school is ruining these kids. They are fast becoming gay and tranny factories, along with a heavy focus on telling white kids they're horrible people who are to blame for everything. Public schools are encouraging mental illness, and racial hatred, in these poor kids. Ask today's public school students anything about civics or history and they literally know nothing. I feel for normal parents. A gasket needs to blow and a huge reckoning needs to happen. That much is certain.

That's a great example of how this shit happens. The dude in the Honda was extremely aggressive and pissed off and driving recklessly. The guy in the Ford was having none of it and added to the provocation. The guy in the car running the camera participated, too, by initially preventing a lane change. Nobody involved had adequate following distance and all were following too close.

Mr. Honda has the fault for this one and got his shit packed in, but even with that being true, this wreck probably didn't happen with at least two out of the three participants.

Yeah, no doubt that the Honda is at fault here. Had the Ford sped up (or slowed down and let him in front) it probably wouldn't have happened because Mr. Rage in the Honda wouldn't have responded by darting across lanes and trying to pass on the shoulder and cut back in. The guy in the Raptor also sped up to keep pace while the Honda was passing on the shoulder, making re-entry much more difficult and higher-risk. The guy in the Ford isn't to blame, but he probably could have prevented the wreck through different behavior. But the Honda guy was entirely reckless to a pretty wild degree.

233 Having followed the Avenatti story closely from the beginning, I do not believe he was being paid directly by any of the dems; for one thing, they are too ham handed to have even understood how useful he could be for them. I DO believe that he was being groomed and pushed by Zucker; what really made him famous was all the air time he was given on CNN, especially by Brian Stelter, Zucker's mini-me. But what has Avenatti looking at a long prison term now is that he *never* had much money, even though he had been given plenty of notoriety. That's why he had to steal Stormy's cash, and came up with the extortion plot against Nike. Don't forget that Mark Geragos was in on it with him; but Geragos was smart enough to know how to dance out of any of the repercussions when it all blew up in Avenatti's face.

My prediction remains that interest rates will NOT be meaningfully raised before November's election (even though they should be) for "Political Reasons". Thus guaranteeing that Inflation will hit riproaring levels never before seen in this country. Good news, bad news: It assures us that there will be a massive "red wave" in November; but it also means that financially, this county is headed into disaster.

That's a big spread. ADP usually shows a bigger move (whichever direction) than BLS will show, but being off by like 700k is a big difference. I suspect the BLS data will be adjusted, but time will of course tell. If anything, there's probably more reason for ADP to track BLS more closely today than it did several years ago. ADP is a big payroll processor and most of their payroll business is for big companies. With the war on small business and the business failures over the past couple of years, more people are working for bigger outfits so ADP should probably more closely track BLS unless we're seeing a lot of new business formation.

But watching the revisions will be helpful.

328 It shouldn't shock anyone that they'd go after RFK Jr on a fake antisemitic charge...and I agree, yes, we are heading down the fascist path. Donks have used racism charges to silence dissent, as well as seismic and antisemitism. It's not for no reason that the hitler line of attack was used against Trump. I still hear people bleating that unless the Trump supporters are stopped ( by any means) all the Jews will be killed. Do you think Jen Rubin uses white Christian nationalist as a slur for no reason? This is a hideous path.

That's a big spread. ADP usually shows a bigger move (whichever direction) than BLS will show, but being off by like 700k is a big difference. I suspect the BLS data will be adjusted, but time will of course tell. If anything, there's probably more reason for ADP to track BLS more closely today than it did several years ago. ADP is a big payroll processor and most of their payroll business is for big companies. With the war on small business and the business failures over the past couple of years, more people are working for bigger outfits so ADP should probably more closely track BLS unless we're seeing a lot of new business formation.

But watching the revisions will be helpful.

The big GDP print for Q4 was driven almost entirely by inventory build. Given the tremendous amount of inventory build over the past two quarters, declining new orders probably isn't surprising. It is probably not great news regardless, but we'll see if the order decline is transient as an offset to the inventory build-up.

Every bit of data you generate, from web browsing, credit card purchasing, smartphone location, every store membership account (grocery, pharmacy, etc.) every "smart" appliance connected to the web, every app where you populate/that captures personal data (diet, sleep habits, exercise, whatever) is being stored, merged and cross-referenced and then analyzed to both predict your behavior as well as direct it to where they want you to be/do/buy.

Nah- he parked himself and baited the Hinda driver. Sped up when he needed to, blocking access, and then slowing down when he could to barricade the lane.

He is a total dick, even if he didn't cause the accident (obviously, the Honda driver is nutso and brought it on himself). I've found if you just get out of the passing lane and let people pass, everyone is happier. And still alive.

Hmmm, couple of options.

1. Sandbag: Lower expectations and then, BAM!, blow out report. Biden is Superman!

2. BLS gives a warning to the WH that numbers are going to be bad. WH begs and cajoles them to "reimagine" the survey algorithms. They are non committal thus the Psaki warning but in the end they throw Biden and life preserver.

Posted by: WisRich at February 04, 2022 09:20 AM (G0vdT)

401 Holy shit, BLS just reported a ridiculous January jobs increase of 497k and revised Dec. from 199k to 510k and Nov from 249k to 647k.

They are literally putting out BS to help Biden now.

Oh, I'm right there with you. I hit 5-7 over in the slow lane and pass when I need to and let all the rabbits zip on by to distract the hounds. Sometimes I even wave when I pass when they catch one.

The revisions are suspiciously large. My guess is that they're playing games or even just completely making shit up. It'll take a year to find out (looking at things like raw total employment year-over-year, tax revenues, etc.), but I suspect that the revisions are a work of fiction. I could be wrong and ADP is the weird outlier and it is reflecting a decline in ADP's business rather than the economy, but that would be unexpected given the concentration in larger businesses.

A fool's brain digests philosophy into folly, science into superstition, and art into pedantry. Hence University education.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.

And Joe Biden has said 150 million Americans have died from gun violence and 120 million have died from COVID.

Real strong numbers people. those Democrats.

490 The Swedish government will lift most Covid restrictions next week, Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson of Sweden announced on Thursday. The move adds Sweden to the growing list of European nations, including Denmark and Norway, that are scrapping pandemic protocols even though new cases continue to soar in Europe. Starting on Feb. 9, there will be no limit on how many people can gather at restaurants, sports stadiums, and other events, according to Lena Hallengren, the minister of health and social affairs. People will no longer be required to work from home.

There's something like 4,000 (four thousand) injuries from ivermectin over the last 40 years on whatever the searchable government database is vs however many million we're up to with the vaxxines over the last year.

Heck, people just readily accept that it's going to hurt their arm and make them feel like sh*t for a few days. That's different because reasons, though.

492 383 The big GDP print for Q4 was driven almost entirely by inventory build. Given the tremendous amount of inventory build over the past two quarters, declining new orders probably isn't surprising. It is probably not great news regardless, but we'll see if the order decline is transient as an offset to the inventory build-up.
