The Morning Report — 11/21/22

Good morning, kids. Thanksgiving week is upon us and a local crime story is once again being primed and readied to be weaponized as agitprop to be used against the Left's enemies and yet again as a call to disarm same. That being you and me.

When a known wolf opened fire on club-goers at Club Q in Colorado Springs, Colo., the shooter’s name wasn’t even public before the usual suspects started screaming about how criticism on social media of the insane LGBTQWTF**kery infecting our kids’ schools is to blame for the violence. We still don’t know what the shooter’s motives were, but we do know that he was known to police and had a previous troubling incident where he threatened to blow someone up with a bomb. But because Club Q is a gay club, the people who hate free speech have taken the opportunity to attack the first amendment in a predictable way.

“You can draw a straight line from the false and vile rhetoric about LGBTQ people spread by extremists and amplified across social media, to the nearly 300 anti-LGBTQ bills introduced this year, to the dozens of attacks on our community like this one,” GLAAD’s president and CEO, Sarah Kate Ellis, said.

But can you? For one, we have no idea what the shooter’s motives were and if history proves, it’s more likely that he’s mentally ill and has been ignored by law enforcement who should not have ignored him. But even if he were harboring some anti-LGBT sentiment, that in no way should curtail everyone else’s right to speak out about whatever they want, including criticizing the outrageously radical and highly sexual agenda brought to us by the LGBTQWTF activists and groups like GLAAD.

The rainbow cult is desperate for parents to shut up about the disgusting pornographic books their activists put in children’s libraries, and the unscientific and confusing nursery stories for kindergartners that tell them they can be the opposite sex if they don’t conform to gender-specific toys. The cult really wants us to shut up about the dangers of puberty blockers to children and the crippling complications of gender “affirming” surgeries. The cult wants us to give up our parental authority to school counselors and the state. We’re not going to do any of that. 

I admire the author's defiant attitude, but given the nation we live in is for sure no longer the United States of America but rapidly morphing into a de facto fascist totalitarian regime (the Orwellian irony being the word "fascist"used to slime its enemies), at some point it will target those who criticize the sexualization of their children by labeling them as terrorists and criminals. Oh wait; that already happened in Virginia when the NASB colluded with the DOJ and the Oval Office to do exactly that!

In any case, recall the reaction a little over six years ago to the Pulse Nightclub mass shooting used almost exactly the same language. And indeed it was a "hate crime" that targeted the homosexual community. But the volume and ferocity from same went instantaneously from head-inside-Marshall-amp-at-1973-Deep-Purple-concert-level to zero the moment we learned that the perp was someone named Omar Mateen. QED. Details so far are still somewhat sketchy but evidently the perp in this case is also known and even reportedly had made bomb threats in the recent past. While he may not be a Religion of Peace peacenik, he may very well not turn out to be the white supremacist MAGA hat-wearing h8tr the Left is itching for but someone whose politics and motives might turn out to not fit the approved/desired narrative. Stay tuned. Prayers for the victims, in any case.

Meanwhile, in another part of the forest, the usual suspects are itching to completely erase the already gossamer thin illusion of our national borders and completely eradicate whatever remains of our national identity, culture and heritage.

Sen. Chuck Schumer made some startling admissions last week about his immigration views: “We have a population that is not reproducing on its own with the same level that it used to. The only way we’re going to have a great future in America is if we welcome and embrace immigrants, the dreamers and all of them, because our ultimate goal is to help the dreamers but to get a path to citizenship for all 11 million or however many undocumented there are here.”

The honesty was breathtaking. For so long, Schumer and his party have danced around the truth: They want to legalize anyone coming over our border for any reason. . .

. . . You can tell it’s a political loser as Schumer, who won re-election by 13 points, waited until after the election to tell us all how his party plans to disregard immigration policy and just legalize anyone it wants.

The idea that we have only 11 million illegal immigrants in the country is also laughable. The “or however many” is doing the heavy lifting in Schumer’s declaration. A 2009 Reuters piece on Schumer’s immigration policies had the number at 12 million. The US Border Patrol had 227,547 encounters along our southwest border in September alone. These have been the numbers for much of 2022 and 2021. We had nearly 5 million people in just two years enter on just the southern border. Unlike Democrats, we can do math: 11 million is the lowest of lowballs. . .

. . . as President Donald Trump said in 2019, “If you open the borders, my God, there’s a lot of poverty in this world, and you’re going to have people from all over the world.”

Actually, that was Sen. Bernie Sanders. And he was right.

Karol Markowicz is absolutely correct, if not putting it mildly. 11 million isn't a "lowball." It's a complete myth. Even before the Biden junta was installed two years ago, the twin torpedoes of Hart-Celler in 1965 and Simpson-Mazzoli in 1986, along with the barest minimum of border enforcement and a virtual moratorium on mass deportations has meant we more than likely had upwards of three times that number. Now that I think on it, 11 million was the number that was being bandied about at the time of Simpson-Mazzoli. That's 36 years ago.

Think about it. Nearly 10% of our entire population are illegal aliens and at the risk of making a generalization, have no desire to adopt our language, culture and attitudes but are here for a handout or to be charitable, to escape the third world shitholes that define where they came from.

If all those migrant waves streaming north had any idea that the junta in power waving them in is hell bent on performing trans surgery on the American golden goose and turn it into a foo bird, they'd probably turn the hell around and head back from whence they came. The destruction of our economy via the devaluation of the dollar and most alarmingly, the war on carbon is going to turn us into something akin to Haiti meets Weimar Germany. Add to it the absolute political divide on top of the influx of all this third world peasantry and you can throw in Yugoslavia circa 1992 on top of it.

Tragically, 300 Americans die of fentanyl poisoning everyday in America and Biden says and does nothing.

Tragically, 5 people were killed in a shooting in Colorado and Biden immediately demands a ban on assault weapons. 1/2

The solutions are this:

1. Secure the border and stop the drugs.

2. Defend our right to keep and bear arms so that people can defend themselves from killers who could care less about laws.

||Heavy has confirmed that Aldrich is the grandson of outgoing Republican State Assemblymember Randy Voepel, the former mayor of Santee, California. Voepel represents the 71st district in the San Diego area. There were calls to expel Voepel from the state Assembly after he made comments comparing the January 6 attacks to the Revolutionary War. Aldrich’s mother, Laura Voepel, has written posts praising Randy Voepel on Facebook and confirming he is her father.||

27 Couple items:

1) Listen to the podcast finally last night, and excellent job all around. I don't disagree with anything Mannix said, he honestly only expanded on some points that I hadn't fully explored.

I do have one point about federal elections. They do matter in terms of stopping or slowing down the really stupid stuff. Allowing Democrats to have full control is how terrible policy like Obamacare becomes entrenched. So my theory on the federal elections is we want to win, but only as a braking action. I don't expect them to ever do anything.

Beyond that I agree, the action is at the state level.

35 As for Georgia and other states passing laws to curtail ballot harvesting, can we get some laws to change the timing of counting?

How many times have we seen the Urban/Dem strongholds just keep reporting until they have enough votes? We need a hard and fast window for voting, but also for reporting the votes.

In other words, do not report, or even tabulate, any results until all precincts have submitted their final totals. It's harder to fake just enough votes to win if you don't really know how many you need.

58 2) I do not have proof, but it looks strongly like Lake is going to challenge the results of the election. First of all, some people who I know will be called as witnesses have been off the grid for the last 5 days, and are clearly not at their homes.

Also the AZ AG letter is a strong warning to the judiciary that they better consider the case on the merits and not try to dismiss out of hand. This is the risk of a lawsuit. Most of the judges in AZ are in the McCain machine, and their desired will be to just dismiss a suit. This is why Lake didn't get the extra hour of polls being open, even though that is a common practice nationwide.

I think that the AG letter, and the citation of eyewitness accounts from pollworkers, is prepping the ground for the lawsuit.

Also a new data point I hadn't heard before. The Maricopa machines were working fine during the test the previous night. This is making the Maricopa position on the machines look very bad.

The first is correct. The second is not. Perhaps try to assess root causes in demographic decline. Some of it may be irreversible as a result of modern economics but other parts of it like law (especially family law) and youth culture may be addressable.

Or sacrifice it all through unrestricted - and even unknown - immigration and the country you claim you're trying to save will be unrecognizable once the demographic shift is complete.

77 3) Finally some electoral vote math. With the changes from the 2020 census, Florida now have 30 EVs and Texas has 40. That is a solid red block of 70 that more than offsets the Democrat solid 54 from California.

Right now the solid states for both sides add up to:

Democrats 248 EV
Republican 251 EV

The states that I believe are swing states in 2024 are:

Arizona - 11
Virginia - 13
Wisconsin - 10
Nevada - 6

Due to fraud, I think that all 4 of those lean toward the Democrats right now. But wins in Arizona and Wisconsin would but the GOP over the top.

I doubt it. No good marketing there. The Democrats will propose blanket amnesty and citizenship for all comers, coupled with a five year period of enhanced border protection (that would last about six months).

The Republicans will counter with amnesty and citizenship for everyone brought here as a minor and amnesty and green cards with a three-year fast-track citizenship process for adult border-jumpers unless they otherwise have criminal records, coupled with a five year period of enhanced border protection (that would last about six months). They can claim to upholding law and order and protecting America from the cartels and maintaining America's humanitarianism and brother love all while expanding the tax rolls and trying to get a little MAGA bump by claiming to protect employment with more border control. The Democrats begrudgingly agree.

85 Back before 2008 or so the number of illegals was routinely reported in the MSM as a range of 15-20 million, which was probably fairly accurate and reflected the uncertainly. The suddenly it was changed to 11 million based on absolutely nothing but some BS study that did not even use data and political expediency. It has surely doubled so saying there are 30-40 million now would very realistic. But that cant be mentioned publicly so they stick with 11 million lie.

91 And I've always hated "doing the jobs Americans won't do."

1) it insults and lies about Americans as lazy
2) it lies about the jobs the illegals are really doing
3) it lies about illegals actually working
4) and worst of all-- it demands that corporations be allowed to pay starvation wages to keep profits

Anyone who uses that phrase as support of more immigrants is an enemy to America and Americans.

92 Jobs Americans won't do. When I'm on a road trip, sometimes I pick up a local newspaper. I always look through classified ads, which can give you a lot of insight into local economy, housing, whatever. In more than one place, over a few trips, I've seen an ad for shepherds. Looks like the same ad, as if it were a standard form. Found out there's a requirement to post an ad before you import some Basque to watch the flock. Wonder what would happen if a citizen, qualified, would respond to the ad.

The citizen wouldn't be qualified. This happens all the time in high tech. The job descriptions are tailored to be almost impossible to satisfy. No real candidate with real experience will ever tick every box on that job description requirements list.

But a fresh out of school Indian H1B candidate with a degree and education experience that is equally tailor-made will.

96 Chuckie's quote on the population decline shows just how stupid he his. His party (and he himself) is ALL IN on abortion on demand up to and beyond the moment of birth. It's no wonder populations are decreasing when women can kill their babies on a whim. Furthermore, they expect that the replacement population (immigrants) will also be on board with killing babies at a whim, thus eventually necessitating a THIRD replacement population...

It's diabolical in both madness and genius...

97 What we need to wrap the mind of the public around:
The average welfare benefits in many states exceeds the minimum wage of $15,080 a year.

But, that's not the bigger point.
The average annual family income in Mexico is $13,989.
Guatemala is at just under $5,000 a year.
50% of Hondurans live on just $2,000 a year. Or less.

Yes, they absolutely live on welfare and STILL have money to easily double the families income back home.

PS: $32,000 a year puts you in the top 1% of all income earners in the world.

162 I think the argument is that there's no harm until the vote is certified, because it isn't official yet and thus and malfeasance has not translated to actual damages.

Hmmmm... for certain values of 'damages', I suppose. My opinion is that if money and state assets are/were spent to execute/cover up malfeasance then I'd say there was harm. These state electioneers and vote counters have been paid to date so that condition was met. If you have evidence of that then it seems to me that it would be appropriate to file charges. Start at the bottom and work your way up.

163 150 It's absolutely hilarious that Disney ousted Chapek to ... bring Iger back.

Ousting Chapek makes sense. Bringing Iger back, not so much. He laid a ton of the groundwork that is currently harming Disney. He got out in time and it is going pear-shaped on someone else's watch. Disney must have made him one hell of an offer to get him to come back and take the blame.
Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at November 21, 2022 08:31 AM (t0OGg)

=========

They wanted a quick change, so Iger, who's still involved with the company, becomes the fall back for 2 years.

I wonder if it'll be an effort by Iger to pull back on more than just what Chapek did, but also on some things Iger himself did up through 2020. The big-label stuff so far is apparently just "fixing" streaming by lowering prices again, but that cannot be it because I don't think any serious person thinks that lowered subscription prices, even assuming a material increase in subs, leads to Disney+ being profitable.

I suspect a lot of turnover in the coming months.

182 Crime tidbit:

Towards the end of September the town nearby installed the first statewide free Narcan vending machine. It's not clear who fronted the money or where the idea originated either, but two "community health" organizations; one local, one regional are named.

The machine holds 25 units (2 doses.) In 10 days 78 units were taken from the machine. The town's resident population is under 10K. It gets refilled every week.

In the month of October, the first full month after the machine was installed crime skyrocketed in town and has spread into the rural areas surrounding it. Car/home break-ins, shoplifting, etc.

Pointing out the probable connection between the Narcan machine and the spike in crime turns the recrimination knob up to 11.

This anecdote gets to the real activist grift/catch-22/self-fulfilling prophecy though:

When Jackson asked her son why he was giving his teacher a hard time, he said, "because she lets me." Jackson then explains, "From that point on I understood … white women educators have zero expectations of Black children. … What I know is that children live up to your expectations. If you expect nothing of them (as white teachers did), you will get nothing."

Gee, maybe -- just maybe! -- that teacher is scared to discipline her son knowing she will be called a raaaacist? Isn't that what Holder and Obama did with insisting that school discipline outcomes be equal across all races, effectively deeming disciplining non-whites raaaacist?

McDonnell was initially convicted of receiving gifts for political favors, but then his conviction was overturned by the Supreme Court (9-0).

265 Joe - yeah the old system worked fine. So they changed it. First they moved the fastpass system to the phone app. Then they put in restrictions so that people stay in hotels on property could book 60 days out, but annual pass holders only 30 days out. This meant that AP holders can't get fastpasses for the most popular attractions.

Now they go to Genie+ where if you want tot ride the most popular, you have to pay extra on top of your already really expensive ticket.

The keep pushing the customer experience to the phone app, and taking away the ability to talk to a person to resolve issues. This has given rise to external web services that are monitoring to opening in the most popular rides or restaurants and alerting you to the opening so you can grab it at the last moment. It is a dehumanizing game that really ruins the point. People want a vacation, not a high stress online equivalent of an eBay auction.

My wife and I still have annual passes, but we don't bother with rides or most restaurants. We refuse to be part of that stress. We instead walk around and eat something quick serve, then go back to the hotel to nap.

276 Re "nation of immigrants" the chief fallacy is not the distinction between legal and illegals. The distinction is that, throughout our history except for the current Year Zero, immigrants sought to learn about, immerse themselves in and assimilate to a definable American culture, both political and otherwise.

And, the existing Americans (of whatever number of generations removed) encouraged and to a large degree enforced that assimilation.

This worked to preserve and expand (and yes "enrich") the American civilization, but change such as is inevitable in a national culture still followed the contours of our original civilization, and was incremental and organic.

Our current "immigration" is simply an invasion.

284 Colorado became "the Hate State" in the 90s when we passed Amendment 2 stating that there was to be no requirement that employers keep track of their employees' sexual orientation and maintain an exaggerated percentage of homosexuals in their workforce.

There were eight murders of homosexuals that year in Colorado Springs, the "epicenter of hate". Activists claimed the murders were a result of the amendment, supposedly giving straight people permission to hunt down and kill homosexuals. Police made a statement about that. The murderers were known in seven of the cases and unknown in one. Of the seven known murderers, every single one was homosexual as well.

Of course, the amendment was struck down by the courts. Can't let people decide how to govern themselves.

301 The TV ads in Colorado implied that 1) ten percent of the population is gay (at the time, it was actually 1-2%), 2) the people that will be discriminated against if the amendment passes are just like you -- in fact, you can't tell whether a person is gay or straight so just think of all the people you care about that will lose their jobs, and 3) even though you supposedly can't tell whether employees are gay or straight, somehow only gay people will not be able to get jobs.

They wanted employers to prove that 10% of their workforce is gay. The amendment prevented that.

I watched the linked video in the sidebar. Sam merely did what the Federal Reserve has been doing for years: Creating and assigning value to that which they've created.

Democrats don't mind if you're stealing as long as you're 'donating'.

Mos' def. Sam Bank-Fraud knows the score. That's why a thirty year old punk kid became one of the biggest political donors in the world.

Kids see how our country works. The smart ones, anyway.

318 Something constructive the GOP could do: Immediately pass federal subsidies of trade schools, and to promote on a wide scale (currently relevant) industrial arts programs in schools.

Something constructive the GOP could do, besides commit seppuku en mass would be to cease ALL government funding for higher education. Trades and industry have apprenticeship programs tailored to their specific needs. Funding college education has done nothing but inflate the cost of attending college and produce a burgeoning population with meaningless degrees and exorbitant debt.

And would have continued doing so, with political and govt support, indefinitely if some Chinese bazillionare hadn't felt like toppling his house of cards.

328 “You can draw a straight line from the false and vile rhetoric about LGBTQ people spread by extremists and amplified across social media, to the nearly 300 anti-LGBTQ bills introduced this year, to the dozens of attacks on our community like this one,” GLAAD’s president and CEO, Sarah Kate Ellis, said.
there's an easy fix for that. keep your junk under your dress and leave the kids alone, cupcake

329 Gays that exploit children with sexually explicit material should be thrown in JAIL!
Straight people that exploit children with sexually explicit material should be thrown in JAIL!

See the problem is they don't understand parents actually fell this way about ALL teachers that exploit and groom children no matter their sexuality. The larger problem is Gays are DEFENDING this perversion and that reflects VERY badly on them. No one likes a pedophile.

330 Is there anyone out there who really believes that voters in PA are so stupid that they would elect Festerman/Kuato? Really? So how did he get elected? Answer: election fraud in Philly and Pittsburgh. Is there evidence that is the correct answer? Yes, simply look at the minority vote % for Republicans in the rest of the country, and compare that to the minority vote % for Republicans in Philly and Pittsburgh. The Dems have 7 critical election fraud cities: Atlanta, Philly, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Phoenix, Chicago, and Las Vegas. They have a number of important election fraud cities Houston, Dallas, LA, San Fransisco, Reno, Portland. They used to have two more fraud cities, Miami-Dade, and Cleveland, but election reform took those away from them. The Dems have ALWAYS been the minority party in the country, they can only win by fraud. They have gotten to be real pros at fraud

332 So Jack Smith, the special counsel appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland has his hands deep in Lois Lerner's IRS mischief. Why am I NOT surprised he's another deep-stater? I'm sure the investigation of Trump for J6 incitement and secret docs will be fair and above board...
The Republican Congress had better bring this jackwagon and Merrick Garland in for the 3rd degree. Eh, who am I kidding? All bukake theater in Congress...
