The Morning Report

The Morning Report — 8/2/22

Good morning, kids. Tuesday and so Ayman Al-Zawahiri, the mass-murdering Islamic pediatrician (amazing how between Nazis and Commies and Islamos, these sick people are all doctors and dentists) and underboss of Al Qaeda has been vaporized by a cruise missile strike somewhere in Afghanistan. All well and good, I suppose. Except it comes 21 years too late. In fact it's closer to 30 years too late. We knew who he was as well as Bin Laden, what they believed in and what they had threatened to do. The February 1993 attack on the World Trade Center, terrible as it was, should have been the wake up call for our government and those in the intel, defense and law enforcement agencies as well as the foreign policy community. But of course, that was not the case for many reasons. Aside from traditional interagency rivalries that needlessly stymie investigations, as well as the insanity of Jamie Gorelick's "wall" preventing the cooperation and coordination in the run-up to 9/11 that would have spotted the Islami-kaze hijackers well beforehand (and our insane immigration policies that allowed them to stay here let alone get in in the first place) and Bill Clinton's refusal to pull the trigger at least two times to take out Bin Laden, what was really driving all of this blindness and incompetence was the refusal to see Islam as the pseudo-religious totalitarian, imperialist political ideology that it was, is and probably always will be. Yes, I understand the third rail of calling a spade a spade, but when Dubya declared we were not at war with Islam but with a nation called "Terror," that was a big tell right there. But I digress.

As we discussed yesterday, the FBI has always been a Munchausen's by Proxy organization: creating crimes and criminals that it can then "solve," thus affording it the ability to crow, gloat, preen and strut about how they are the defenders of "our precious democracy" (*vomits), while lobbying for more taxpayer money. Seen in the light of its activities since 2016, as well as that of the DOJ, CIA and all the other agencies whose mission it is to secure our freedom, the mindset that makes terrorists and criminals out of innocent citizens while letting actual terrorists and criminals run free and act unimpeded becomes crystal clear. The FISA courts, the creation of the DHS and all that those imply, combined with the 2016 plot to take out Trump, the 2020 successful plot to rig and then steal the election and then the January 6th FBI-led false flag operation that entrapped non-violent, unarmed, yet unlucky dupes means that as a result of 9/11, our national law enforcement and intelligence agencies have become, or at least are now openly operating as a de facto Gestapo/Stasi to repress and punish all political activity that is not in lockstep with this junta and its globalist aims for America. So, bravo that Zawahiri is room temperature. But in the cold light of day, it's just a distraction, as is President Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants' second General Tso's Sickness "diagnosis" from the utter disaster that they have inflicted on us these past 20 months, and counting. Call me when Merrick Garland is in leg irons.

Meanwhile, in another part of the forest, arguably the worst woman in America (even beating out Hillary for that title), Malig-Nancy Pelosi is making a trip to the Far East — the reason is as completely unclear as the trip itself unnecessary (unless she's getting a payoff from some corrupt official somewhere) — with a possible stopover in Taiwan. What the hell is she and this junta playing at? The estimable Robert Spencer is just as gobsmacked as this author:

Why is Pelosi going to Taiwan at all? Why is it so all-important that she go there now? It isn’t at all clear why Pelosi is so intent on ratcheting up tensions by going to Taiwan, but now that the Chinese have issued so many threats, some on the Right see it as a matter of national pride that she actually stumble onto the Taipei tarmac. Intent on not letting the ChiComs push us around, Trump’s best Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, tweeted: “.@SpeakerPelosi. Nancy, I'll go with you. I'm banned in China, but not freedom-loving Taiwan. See you there!” Trump’s Defense Secretary, Mike Esper, agreed: “I think if the speaker wants to go, she should go.”
Really? That’s all there is to it? The House Speaker should risk provoking a world war for a photo-op, or for a meeting with her business interests, or whatever it is she has planned for her Taiwan trip? It isn’t as if Nancy Pelosi has to go to Taiwan in order to clarify the U.S. position on the island; the American stance on Taiwan and the People’s Republic is perfectly clear, regardless of whether she goes there or not. So what would the U.S., or anyone besides Nancy Pelosi herself, gain from her issuing one of her English-torturing statements Taipei?
Underlying all these questions is a larger problem: is risking a world war while our woke military is preoccupied with putting on drag shows really the best idea?

So rah-rah, yeah, stand up to the Chi-Coms. I get it. But Pelosi? Biden? They're in bed with them and have been for years. I understand the geopolitics of it all but considering the state of this nation, as much as I feel we need to stand up to these filthy sick Commie bastards, the filthy sick Commie bastards who control our own government concern me more, in terms of their own incompetence and hell-bent-for-leather determination to destroy us. It is they that put us in this pickle and made the world that much more of a dangerous place. And then, there's this bizarre twist:

Ant Group – a payment platform used to implement “vaccine passports” and a “social credit” system in China – has retained a number of American lobbying firms, including some with ties to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, former President Barack Obama, and failed presidential candidate Senator Mitt Romney.Ant Group is an offshoot of the Chinese company Alibaba, previously flagged by the U.S. State Department as a “tool” of the Chinese Communist Party and crucial to the regime’s build-up of “technology-facilitated surveillance and social control.” Ant Group also owns AliPay, a digital payment platform used by Beijing to institute vaccine passports, which have been used to render citizens unable to leave their houses and forced into quarantine.
Ant Group is a key component of China’s broader “social credit” system, sharing the data it collects on users’ spending habits and online activity with Chinese Communist Party regulators.
Social credit systems have raised concern in the West, with many fearing the weaponization of government and business surveillance to restrict individuals’ access to the economy and services based on specific behaviors – or even ideologies.
Despite these fears, several American lobbyists are working on behalf of Ant Group, appearing to help broaden the company’s operations and reach inside of the U.S. . .
. . . Speaker Nancy Pelosi has made much of her trip to Asia this week, though upon landing in Singapore, appeared to intentionally leave out references to China or Taiwan.

Whatever reason for this trip, the last thing she wants to do is piss off Xi. She, her crook of a husband, Biden and much of DC are all in bed with them. Yet their ignorance of protocols, culture, the Chinese mindset, etc., means they might blunder us into a shooting war.

TOP. Men.

Yeah. In 2001, we couldn't bring ourselves to oppose a religion that had pretty much declared a holy war against Western Civ.

35 The Iranians who were trying to be friends with Secret Service agents is weird enough. But from the article:

In one of the apartments, Taherzadeh allegedly had an unlicensed gun with five fully loaded large-capacity ammunition feeding devices, containing 61 rounds of ammunition.

This is a Federal case. High capacity magazine (over 10 rounds) restriction is a DC law not a Federal one. And 5 high cap mags with 61 rounds total? 4 x 12 + 1 x 13?

129 Years ago, we had a gay activist preacher who preached a sermon disparaging the seventh commandment (adultery) on the grounds that women were treated as chattel in biblical times. Now, we are dabbling with CRT. I'm worried about the fifth commandment. I could rename our congregation "the Church of the Eight Commandments". I was calling it "the Church of the Nine Commandments" before.

In the scheme of things, with America being incinerated on all sides by woke leftists, it's hard to pick one thing that needs priority focus right now. But I'd have to say this needs to be at or near the top #1 things that must be zero'd in on immediately. What these brainwashers are doing to this country's kids will have such dire consequences, it's hard to even calculate. Not only for the kids' own personal mental health, but the entire direction of the US will be forever lost when this poor generation grows up. It's an emergency, imo. It truly is.

To echo Chris Rock's line about OJ: "I'm not saying he should have killed her; but I can understand."

Remember that way back in old 2020 we were fresh on the heals of Antifa actually shooting conservative protesters Fing dead, and attempting the murders of many others (e.g. Kyle somebody or other). It was entirely reasonable to expect Antifa to attempt to violently attack anyone protesting the "election," such as it was. I can even see a certain nobility of those who went with the express purpose of providing some security to the demonstration against the violent left. And, in much of the country (not DC of course) walking around "strapped" is otherwise known as a day ending in "y."

The health related provisions are negligible and actually make things worse. They are really intended to move towards a single payer health system and punish the drug companies. That stupidity will ultimately hurt R&D in our most innovative and needed therapies and drugs.

The entire bill is going to make things worse. It's nothing but a feeble, obvious electoral attempt to trick the feeble into believing it does something.

Then she's particularly dumb. She isn't even the first to get woke-mobbed over that one. Weird Al released "Mandatory Fun" back in 2014 and on that album is a song called "Word Crimes" (a parody of the hit "Blurred Lines"). In it, there's this gem:
Saw your blog post
It's really fantastic
That was sarcastic (Oh, psych!)
'Cause you write like a spastic

He got a lot of RHEEEE for that, and he (foolishly, in my opinion) apologized for it. That was back in 2014 and thus before cancel culture accelerated into the nightmare system it is now, but it happened then. Beyonce, especially as a wokester in good standing, has no excuse and thus has no reasonable complaint. She knew. She knows how these people work, and she knows (or should have known) that this specific word is a "trigger" or whatever. This is her club and she knew better.

203 My thoughts on the Missouri Senate primary.

1. There's a weird hatred of Eric G. thanks to media and the GOPe smears. Nice job everyone.
2. Trump is being too cute by half, he should have stayed out of it from the start.
3. Either Eric will vote exactly the same.
4. The whole thing doesn't really matter if Mitch runs the show.

207 House Democrats forced a snap vote on a bill that aims to codify same-sex marriage and more in federal law. The House passed the “Respect for Marriage Act” (RMA) 267-157. Forty-seven Republicans joined the majority.

Wait wut? I thought what you did in the bedroom was not to be considered by the State. Now we are going to codify a religious and/or civil act with FEDERAL guidelines. Should we have rules on what constitutes consummation. Many States use:
consummation of marriage full sexual intercourse between married persons after their marriage by the insertion of the penis into the vagina. Inability to consummate because of impotence or refusal to consummate is a ground for nullity of the marriage. Collins Dictionary of Law

208 Why is Pelosi going to Taiwan at all?

Because Nancy (and I'm sure Dan Crenshaw and a host of other freedom-fighting, America loving, fiscally conservative Republicans) just shifted a huge portion of her money into the semi-conductor sector prior to passing the $280 billion Chips for America Act.

She's checking on her investment, ensuring that those factories can be duplicated and staffed by Mexicans back in the US, prior to the United States doing nothing other than saying when China inevitably reunifies Taiwan.

Because we know, in our heart, that we can't do anything to stop it, all we can do is mouth words and repeat the line. You ain't gonna stop Russia or China with women, faggots, trannies, and CRT.

Think of this in terms of fracking and how it has changed the oil industry. Stealing from Americans through taxation and regulatory mischief, grift through projects is like traditional vertical drilling. Exporting technology and jobs to China and getting a piece of that was like horizontal drilling. The kleptocracy has just learned the plundering and power grabbing leverage analog of fracking. They increase enormous amounts of social pressure, wait for society to break-up and steal everything they can in the confusion through outright graft and corruption like with the Green movement and through CoviD Inc.

The pressure is back with Cloward/Piven, and they will steal everything in sight. The criminality with China is still used, but it is small potatoes compared to the outright plundering and corruption available through social fracking.

Pelosi can afford to do this because of Ukraine, CHIPS, BBB and other trillion dollar scams

From what I've seen Trump likes both Eric's but the scandals, real or hyped, have taken a toll on Greitens and Schmidt seems to be costing to the win.

But it's only the primary so I think it was smart of Trump not to piss off the supporters of either candidate. The goal is to unite after the primary and actually win the election.

Posted by: JackStraw at August 02, 2022 08:41 AM (ZLI7S)

They've got a protester that is a police officer up on charges for assaulting an officer, and used a video without sound to indict him showing him laying on top of a Capitol police officer.

His defense attorney has submitted the video with sound that reveals that he was actually laying on top of the officer to protect him as the horses file by and all the protesters are yelling at him and calling him a turncoat for helping the officer out. Video also includes him calling for help for the officer because they have a "man down" and later contains a conversation with the police thanking him for protecting the officer and includes scenes of the protester helping the officer back up to his feet.

It's sickening.

Correct. You could try this yourself. Say you once had a telephone number of 234-5789. Do a search on 123-5789 and see if it 'finds' you or your last name.

It found my grandfather with my last name from a 60 year old phonebook. I was looking for a number that just so happened to have the last four digits the same. I simply can not calculate the odds of that happening - something in the stratosphere. At the very least 1 out of 10,000.

He was stopped on the steps by Capitol police and then yelled for others to go in. He gave an expletive laden apology to the Capitol police, Congress and others yesterday before his sentencing. His children said he told them snitches would be shot if they informed on him. I am not going to defend this cretin because he was a j6 arrestee.He can enjoy jail for the next seven years.

310 Pelosi is going to Taiwan because she thinks she is the president. She is definitively lining up her husband's *hic* investments, but she thinks she can encroach up the President's role and pretend she is president.

She did it when the government was locked down in January 2020 and President Trump cancelled her bus. She has been doing it during the Ukraine war. She did it in Syria during Obama.

She loves the pomp and circumstance, regardless of how much she looks like a toadie to these foreign countries.

360 Holy crazy capers Batman!

California millionaire orders a replica Adam West style Batmobile from the only DC Comics licensed firm. Then bobbles and misses a $20,000 payment. So Indiana firm building the car, one of nine in production, moves it to the back of the queue.

Millionaire gets irate and files claims and suits. They get tossed because they are filed in California. So he talks to his friend the Sheriff of San Mateo County and suddenly four California LEO are in Indiana seizing his documents and now the car builder is charged in California with fraud charges.

366 In "A Declaration of Dissolution: Wisconsin Fires the Starting Gun," Bob Maistros is spot on:

"The British crown's lack of 'consent of the governed' led Thomas Jefferson to pen the immortal passage: 'When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another.'"

'"Deep red states should [now, CZ] simply declare the union dissolved' – Jefferson's term – 'by nefarious actions to disenfranchise Americans.'"

He publicly told others that he was going to drag Nancy Pelosi by her ankles down the Capitol steps while her head hit every step. He was stopped on the steps by Capitol police and then yelled for others to go in. He gave an expletive laden apology to the Capitol police, Congress and others yesterday before his sentencing. His children said he told them snitches would be shot if they informed on him. I am not going to defend this cretin because he was a j6 arrestee.He can enjoy jail for the next seven years.

412 Joe Biden's approval ratings through the first six quarters of his presidency have fallen to the lowest level of any president on record, according to one top pollster.

Tom Bevan, iirc, published an historical review of modern midterms elections, showing nearly every Senate race runs within ten points of the Presidential approval rating in that particular state. In Georgia, for example, Biden is at 35% (per a few days back), so you would expect Warnock to run at or below 45%, making re-election a pipe-dream.

There are, generally, three levels of competence;

2. Conscious incompetence - Possessed of a cautioning self-awareness that one is without necessary experience, etc.
3. Unconscious competence - Possessed of such a breadth and depth of experience that doing what is appropriate is simply natural and instinctive, without thought.

No. 1 is, by far, the most dangerous.

"While some have opined that the hair pulled back away from the face seems to detract from my natural beauty, I feel that it frees the softer feminine contours of my neckline and forces the viewer's attention to my chin(s), allowing my soulless eyes to sparkle freely in the sunlight... I would however suggest a robust depilator priior to any public appearance, due to the harsh lighting."

430 My burning question of the day is what color eye shadow should General Milley wear if he has to go and rescue Pelosi's sorry ass? I am pretty good with the idea that low heels hit that perfect warrior chic that is so fashionable these days and at the same time I find myself conflicted if the rainbow flag should replace old glory on his uniform. Thoughts?

432 There are, generally, three levels of competence;

1. Unconscious incompetence - A complete unawareness that one is ignorant, unskilled, and lacking experience and judgment
2. Conscious incompetence - Possessed of a cautioning self-awareness that one is without necessary experience, etc.
3. Unconscious competence - Possessed of such a breadth and depth of experience that doing what is appropriate is simply natural and instinctive, without thought.

No. 1 is, by far, the most dangerous.

I thought there was a fourth (between your 2 & 3): Conscious competence.

433 California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) declared a state of emergency in response to the monkeypox virus, which has thus far mostly affected men who have sex with men.

In a statement on Monday, Newsom said the state of California will be working closely with the federal government to make monkeypox vaccines more readily available while also combatting any stigma the LGBTQ community might face.

Until further notice, only those with priority reservations at The French Laundry will be turned away.

442 Maybe I'm repeating someone else (haven't read all the comments), but it seems to me this Pelosi/Taiwan flap is all a set-up. J.J. very correctly points out that all the major players here share one cozy boudoir. We know full well Chairman Xi wants a Puppet re-elected in 2024 (whether it's name is "Biden" or something else) - and this makes the perfect opportunity for Xi to make Biden/Pelosi look like tough guys by "standing up" for Taiwan.

I call "Bovine Scatology". These people work behind the scenes, and have created a drama for public consumption. The fact is, the US is funding a Taiwan invasion by reducing tariffs on Chinese imports, and that's the bottom line.

444 There's a problem with that https://globalcovidsummit.org/va chart

It lists collapses vs deaths but it has no reference point.
What was the average years 2000 to 2005 or you pick the years.

IOW, how many more than some other point in time.
It doesn't show the norm.

445 Re: Ruby Ridge, and missing his court appearance:

Feds setting you up to miss your court appearance is nothing new. That happened to someone I know; he was told THE DAY BEFORE THE HEARING that a hearing was to take place (this was the day they came to arrest him, but in the end didn't). Hardly time to get legal counsel. He had worked for a place that was was selling knockoffs (he thought were legitimate wares), and the Feds had set up a sale with this person of a monetary amount to make it a major felony, setting up a meeting with him outside of his workplace so they could record the whole thing (he thought it was strange, but that's what the customer wanted; and it was a major sale!). The job had been left more than two years prior to the Feds showing up. Why did they show up? Because the statute of limitations was almost up. Worse yet, they tried to frame him with running a major part of the operation in another country, one he had not even set foot in. In the end, he got probation.
Yeah, the Feds love them some entrapment.

446 Oh, and he didn't even know why he had to show up in court. The case was SEALED until he appeared and found out what was going on.

447 Why is Pelosi going to Taiwan? Because we've underestimated how deeply the Chicoms have penetrated our government.

The Chicoms want Taiwan, and they've realized that a red wave coming in November will forestall any opportunities to make their move. So Pelosi -- bought and paid for -- is going to give them the excuse they need to attack.

In the Chicoms' view, a November red wave is the precursor to Trump's return, so they need to move now. Their window of opportunity is closing. And with us focused on Ukraine (and emptying our stockpiles), we'll be hard pressed to swing our attention and resources to our thinly-manned Pacific forces.

448 Totally spitballing here but we need to keep in mind Pelosi (which means hairy in Italian) is 2nd in line for the Oval Office. Joe goes, Harris won't last 10 minutes, and whahay it's Nance in there. She knows what a dogs dinner Biden has made of the whole China mess so maybe she's shoring up her credentials so she won't get impeached off the bat. Also showing China who's at the tiller as it were. She's made enough money off them by now she can drop them if she needs to. She also has little time left because after midterms she prob won't be speaker any more.

450 Pelosi is a domestic "flag waver".

A little history: In the days of vaudeville, a common schtick was to end your act with a "flag waver" - a number featuring a song like The Star Spangled Bannsr and the entire troop performing stunts and marching around with American Flags. In those days, social convention was to stand for the flag in most circumstances, not just for the National Anthem. You got 'em at least the "standing" part of "standing ovation".

A flag waver uses social conventions to produce a simulacrum of approving applause. Pelosi's trip is using the patriotic reflex to produce a simulacrum of approval. Hopefully, we don't proceed to the next iteration: wag the dog.

451 147 We all knew the Capitol protest was going to be the giant entrapment operation it was. We all knew antifa was going to be there to start trouble and make MAGA look bad. If you went, you knew it might end up bad. Granted, nobody knew it would be this bad, but still... to travel to DC with ARs and attend the protest, stand on the capitol steps while strapped? You are an idiot.

452 If she was really doing an 'up yours' to mainland China, she would have included a stop in mainland China on this trip.

She'd have to do the mainland, and then Taiwan for it to be a true 'up yours'; if she would do Taiwan and then the mainland, it would be more of a "reporting as ordered, boss."
