The Morning Report - 3/31/22

Good morning, kids. Thursday and there are just no words to describe how despicable a person Susan Collins is. Well, that's not true; in fact I could fill a dictionary with the expletives about her rolling around in my head, but what's the use?

“I have decided to support the confirmation of Judge Jackson to be a member of the Supreme Court,” said Collins, who opposed the confirmation of Justice Amy Coney Barrett in the fall of 2020, objecting that her nomination was too close to the presidential election.

The GOP senator said that Jackson had reassured her that she would not bend “the law to meet a personal preference,” saying that Jackson met Collins’ personal standards for Supreme Court justices.

“In recent years, senators on both sides of the aisle have gotten away from what I perceive to be the appropriate process for evaluating judicial nominees,” Collins said. “In my view, the role under the Constitution assigned to the Senate is to look at the credentials, experience and qualifications of the nominee. It is not to assess whether a nominee reflects the individual ideology of a senator or would vote exactly as an individual senator would want.”

Oh, Susan Collins is "reassured" that an anti-American racialist, thanks to decades of indoctrination from pre-school through law school won't bend the law. This woman is either completely clueless or a bald-faced liar. I'm going to go with the latter. Whatever Jackson's "credentials" may be, her record of leniency to the point of granting de facto absolution to the most heinous of offenders is well documented. Worse, her affinity for dangerous crackpots like Calypso Louie Farrakkhan and Derrick Bell should not only disqualify her from the highest court in the land, she shouldn't even be allowed to clean the toilets of any court in the land.

Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, who is President Joe Biden’s nominee for the Supreme Court seat being vacated by retiring Justice Stephen Breyer, cited Critical Race Theory founder Derrick Bell and the controversial “1619 Project” as inspirations in 2020. . .

. . . Christopher Rufo, a journalist who has focused on revealing the use of Critical Race Theory in schools and the workplace, has noted that Bell did not merely treat “The Space Traders” as a thought experiment, but believed it represented the true state of race relations in America.

This isn't a speech from thirty years ago. It's from January 20, 2020. She endorses a book that was foundational to critical race theory and made the case that, given the choice, whites would trade African-Americans away to space aliens and banish them from the universe.

This isn't just metaphorical. Bell told NPR's Fresh Air he believed whites would make the trade in real life. He argued in the book that the history of slavery was not only "an example of what white America has done," but "a constant reminder of what white American might do."

Judge Jackson also cited the fraudulent “1619 Project” of Nikole Hannah-Jones and the New York Times, which won the Pulitzer Prize despite falsely claiming that the United States fought the American Revolution to defend slavery in the South.

Though she cited Hannah-Jones to make the observation that black Americans have fought hardest to give life to America’s founding ideals, at no point did Judge Jackson disagree with the author’s thesis that America was founded on slavery.

Putting aside her horrendous sentencing record, her attitudes on race alone insofar as regarding the Constitution itself, a document she is charged with defending yet she views as illegitimate because of her associations and avowed viewpoints, should have disqualified her from being admitted to any law school in the land, let alone rising to sit on a bench in judgement of others. Along with thousands of criminal drug addicts and serial pedophiles who she cavalierly gave wrist-slaps or advocated early release to - the driving force behind those decisions no doubt based on racial grievance and/or intersectional politics insofar as weaponizing criminals to "punish" white/non-urban citizens - she also has a giant soft spot for terrorists.

While serving as an assistant federal public defender in D.C. from 2005 to 2007, Jackson defended four suspected terrorist detainees captured after 9/11 on the battlefield in Afghanistan and locked up at the Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, prison. Among other things, she filed habeas corpus appeals to try to compel their release and transfer from Gitmo, where they were held by the U.S. military as enemy combatants, to the U.S. court system, where they could avail themselves of all the legal rights afforded American citizens. . .

. . . Jackson denies that she is against incarcerating or punishing terrorists and criminals. But in her testimony, she explained that incarceration is not always the best deterrent and that slapping criminals with harsh prison terms can make them feel "bitter" and "victimized" by the system, which could make them more likely to return to a life of crime when they get out. She said other judges are too quick to send defendants to the slammer — "locking people up and throwing away the key" — rather than helping them understand the consequences of their actions and treating them "fairly," no matter how bad their behavior. She said that as a judge, she has taken the time during sentencing to explain to them why their crimes hurt people. In a word, Jackson’s judicial philosophy is empathy — she believes it’s better counseling crooks straight than scaring them straight.

The excerpt is from a very thorough essay at Real Clear Investigations. No doubt, Susan Collins, or her flunkies, missed it. What the hell is she thinking? One has to wonder where she stands on the call to once again high-tech lynch Clarence Thomas because the Dems can smell another seat in their grasp if they can get him off the court. What's the fucking point; she's 70 years old and no doubt has a good 15 to 20 year left, destroying our lives and hectoring us with that grating, Down East nasal twang that can peel the enamel off of a dead man's teeth six feet underground.

Republican Congressman Don Young, who died last week at age 88 (God rest his soul and all that), epitomized America’s transition from representative government to elected aristocracy.

Representing an Alaska at-large district, Young became a member of the House of on March 6, 1973, when Richard Nixon was president, America was still fighting in Vietnam and the retail price of gas was 39 cents-a-gallon.

Young was the longest-serving member of Congress. Elected to his 25th term in 2020, he helped to guide the Behemoth on the Potomac for almost half-a-century.

The Founding Fathers would have been appalled at the idea of legislators for life. When the Constitution was adopted, “public servant’ was more than a euphemism.

Leaders were expected to serve because it was their patriotic duty. They would leave their farms, shops and offices for a term or two, and then go back home to live among those they’d governed under the laws they had fashioned.

Today, they make a pilgrimage to the Golden Temple on Capitol Hill and stay, and stay, and stay. . .

. . . And, there’s also gold in them thar hills.

Members of Congress receive $174,000 annually – more for certain leadership positions. The House Speaker – in this case Granny Pelosi (who was embalmed during the reign of Ramses II) – receives $223,500. Senate Majority and Minority Leaders and the President Pro-Tem haul in $193,400. Members of Congress also get benefits, like an allowance for their staff – who do most of the real work, like actually reading the bills.

A Congressman can retire on full pension at age 62, after as little as five years of service. The amount is based the number of years they warmed a seat with their ample posteriors. Former Speaker John Boehner, who retired in 2015, receives $86,000-a-year, which compares favorably to the average annual Social Security payment of $19, 370. Oh, and Members of the Club also collect Social Security.

But it’s not just the money.

It’s the power – the power to write your ideology into law, to distribute largesse from the treasury to your favorite causes like green cultism, anti-white racism or killing babies in the name of women’s rights. In the business world, you get to pick winners and losers with subsidies and tax hikes. And you get a warm humanitarian glow while you’re pushing the rest of us around.

The "gold in them thar hills" that Don Feder refers to is a hell of a lot more than their salaries. That's nickel and dime stuff. With very few exceptions, you can bet your bottom dollar - now worth about 20 cents (and shrinking daily) thanks to Bidenflation - that the majority of everyone in DC is to a greater or lesser extent on the take.

God bless Donald Trump. He might have come to drain the swamp, but he never anticipated it was the size of the Pacific Ocean. And no sooner than he gave his inaugural on that glorious day in January of 2017, his hands were tied and his feet encased in "cement overshoes" as the boat cut its engines over the Marianas Trench. We can bitch and moan, and rightly so, about Democrats as well as the bureaucracy that did all it could to cover up Hunter's laptop (even now, this traitorous CIA scumbag John Sipher is crowing about it).

But filthy goniffs with delusions of grandeur like Susan Collins, who hide behind a transparent facade of impartiality, decorum and tradition and all that rot while supposedly being "conservative" is our biggest obstacle to even beginning to address the problem. She has got to go. They all have got to go. Meh, the total economic and societal collapse that is a very real possibility might do the job for us.

One final note, yesterday's news about Bruce Willis being forced to retire due to a diagnosis of aphasia saddened me, especially when you compare his career, and more so the way he carries himself as a person, to that of the repugnant spectacle of last Sunday's Academy Award show. On a personal level, I remember Bruce Willis from his days as a bartender at the now long gone Café Central on Manhattan's upper west side just before he, and another unknown actor and fellow bartender there named John Goodman, were on the cusp of their careers taking off.

Yet one incident stays with me to this day. Around 1994 or '95, my parents were shopping at Saks Fifth Avenue, and while riding by themselves in the elevator, the doors opened and in stepped Bruce Willis. My father was champing at the bit to tell him about "my son the screenwriter" while my mother shot my dad a look to leave the guy alone. Of course, Willis saw this and without missing a beat, broke the ice, introducing himself to my folks. After only about a 30-second conversation, he bade them good day as they went their separate ways when the doors opened onto the lobby. Beyond being polite, my folks say he was as warm and gregarious as he came across on the screen playing David Addison in Moonlighting. My folks went on about that for days.

Whatever his politics are (and the fact that he keeps it to himself is admirable in the extreme), he's a class act. I wish him all the best going forward.

4 I missed the encryption key thread yesterday unfortunately, but it's funny to see how we lose.

Trump's son shook hands with a Russian and it prompted two years of Republicans investigating him even though they knew he did nothing wrong because those same Republicans had security clearances and knew from the start that the claims were false.

Hunter Biden has something on his laptop that we aren't allowed to see and we've already forgiven him and told our representatives that it's okay, it's a nothing burger.

I wonder why they think they're our betters?

21 But in the latest survey, something rather concerning happened: there was a dramatic rise in the percentage saying not too happy from less than 15% in 2018 to more than 22% in 2021.

The percentage of Americans who described themselves as very happy stood at 30 per cent.

Four years later, post-lockdown, its below 20 per cent.

32 SHOT: Poll shows American Voters Reject Biden's Climate Agenda - Want Reliable, Affordable Domestic Energy

==

Why do we bother with polling like this? Seriously. Polling also showed the majority of Americans expressly did not want a SCOTUS pick based on race and gender. Biden did what he wanted anyway. So whoopee, a poll says Americans are not happy with the bull**** climate agenda and want reliable, affordable domestic energy. Biden will do what he wants anyway.

45 It's hard to actually be mad at Collins because I know what she is, and expected her to be a traitor to her party. Does she disgust me to the depths of my marrow? Absolutely. But I've known from the beginning that this Ketanji woman would be untouchable. She could eat a live white baby on the steps of the Capitol and Susan Collins would've still voted to confirm her. Because that's who Susan Collins is.

51 After a Twitter user brought Del Rosario's tweet to Wake Forest's attention, the school said, "We are taking measures to address this with the student."

The only acceptable means of addressing this is immediate expulsion. The fact that she was willing to intentionally inflict pain on a patient, stick the patient with a needle for no medical purpose, expose the patient to harm, infection, and possibly death because of a perceived slight shows she does not possess the mental faculties to be a physician. And it shows another level of poor judgement and psychosis that she felt the need to brag about it on Twitter. This is a huge red flag a d someone who should never be granted a medical license.

It's yet another sign of how far we, as a civilization, have fallen.

You know, once upon a time, I didn't even care about my doctor's politics. I didn't care about their personal lives - beyond the normal friendly inquiry that any long-running relationship (14 years with the same doctor) will frequently develop.

Now, it matters. Because if my doctor, or nurse, or whoever is a Progressive, I know that my actual health is secondary to their world-view. If I disagree with them, I "deserve" to get sick and die.

84 The DFW Fox station ran a breathless piece the other day about how rural Texans "still" have "few choices in health care."

Setting aside the "no, really?" responses (mostly from those of us in rural Texas who are more than happy with the trade off), the majority of responses I saw were all "well, if they'd only elect Democrats..."

Because Democrats always believe that what they think is best for you - what they think should be desirable - is the only possible thing that could be best for you. The idea that you're well aware of the trade offs and have accepted them - even embraced them - because you desire something different than they do never even enters their heads.

And once you do get that idea through to them, they see not wanting what they want as a) an attack on their personal choices, b) a massive moral failing, or usually c) both.

Their editors and masters are not retards, I work ancillary to the media and interact with them from time to time. They are the most intellectually incurious group I have met. Not hyperbole and not over the top, they have a narrative that inspired them to pursue their field and nothing can sway them from that North Star.

The battle in J Schools across the country was largely over by 1994.

Their editors and owners are another matter they are malignant intellects, but J schoolers tend to believe in apocalyptic battles between angels and demons and luckily for them the demons are people who disagree with magic thinking.

The handlers and owners simply do not hire realists, and if one slips through the cracks they are excised like a cancer at first opportunity.

97 Background on Biden meeting parents of USMC veteran imprisoned in Russia.

||Trevor Reed has been jailed in Russia since his arrest in 2019 on charges that he assaulted police officers in Moscow who were driving him to a police station after picking him up following a night of heavy drinking at a party. He was convicted in 2020 and sentenced to nine years in prison.

Since then, Biden administration officials have repeatedly called for the release of Reed, as well as Paul Whelan, a corporate security executive from Michigan who is jailed in Russia on espionage-related charges his family says are bogus. The White House says both men are being wrongly detained.||

128 What's to feel optimistic about?

Baby goats.

Since you asked.

Sincerely, as the "burn it down" guy, I really am fairly optimistic about individual communities and families. Communities that still understand what community is about - rights balanced by responsibilities, you looking out for your own family and neighbors (as in: not the government), and all that - will suffer less than places like the big cities once the music stops. And those of us who have some lost souls in the family are more likely to see them hit rock bottom - and so ask for redemption and a hand up.

Honestly, what's to be pessimistic about?

Realistic, clear headed, and honest with yourself: yes.
Pessimistic? No.

They imagine themselves as being protected from the results and able to buy protection or simply jet away to somewhere else when the hobo hordes are prowling around their gated communities and walled-off government offices. History learns hard toward them being right about that, too. The entire government apparatus is an absolute joke, and full of people who see themselves and their pack-mates as the only ones worthy of protection. The rest of us?

144 I live about 8 miles north of a town that just got wiped off the map (Carbon, TX). Everyone here knows several someones (or, the newcomers like us know several someones who know several someones) who lost literally every worldly possession they owned. Grazing fields are gone. Hundreds, maybe thousands, of head of livestock dead in the fires. Hundreds of bales of hay (that's a lot of money, btw) up in literal smoke.

There's plenty of sadness. There's a lot of mourning - as there should be. But there has not been a single person I've heard whine or even really complain. "We made it out alive and that's what matters." "It's going to be a lean year, but {insert family, church, and community} are really taking care of us." "The support we've gotten from {person or group} has been a huge blessing." "It's rough, but we still know we're blessed."

Churches are having so many donations they don't have room to keep them. They've got so many volunteers, they can't actually use them all. Everyone already has a place to stay until they can relocate or rebuild.

That sort of community will survive the burning times (all the guns help, of course). Dallas? Houston? San Francisco?

174 I missed this at the time, but a couple of weeks ago the Bezos Post had a long article with a "modern civil wars" expert about how we are on the verge of one in the US.

Their argument? Well the Republicans are extremely extreme extremists and often in civil wars there are extremely extreme extremists.

Now I'm not a titled expert, but I have read a lot of history. Here are some common triggers for civil wars and coups

1) Stealing an election - which the left did
2) Arresting opposing politicians - which the left is considering doing
3) Embarking on radical change in a split country - which the left is doing

If there's any bright side to this - the government response to the Rona drove a lot of families to home-school and either two parents both working from home or only one parent working. Businesses are desperately trying to get people back in the office, and people are saying "Yeh, nah."

That means that, as gas and food prices continue to rise AND the Progressives keep telling them things like "you don't get to know what we're teaching your children," and "no, we're not grooming them - just don't tell us we can't," yet more families will start to realize they don't need to keep up with the Jones's at all. We may be seeing the birth of a new fairly conservative generation, simply because so many children will be spared the forced indoctrination of public schools.

That's one of the undiscussed consequences of the reporting on the Hunter Biden situation that should be more in focus. It's now apparent that the last 2 presidential elections were greatly influenced by what we refer to as the deep state. What it really is is our corrupt intel community both current and retired.

I always go back to the comment Chuck Schumer made back in early 2017 on one of the Sunday shows when he was asked about Trump accusing the intel community of trying to bring down his campaign and then administration.

Schumer replied something like - If you go up against the intel community they have 6 ways from Sunday of getting back at you.

Trump was the sitting president at the time and a US Senator openly admitted that if the President of the United States went against the intel community they would take him down.

Yup. Being in the IC and having a big clearance is a big asset. You get to do what you want and seek retribution if you're crossed, then you can go to the private sector and make bank with a defense contractor or sow sedition on the press networks.

262 As a Mainer, I can explain Collin's vote. She's a democrat. Ideologically anyways, she's a Democrat.

Everyone living on or East of of the Turnpike (I-95) are Democrats in this state (with some pockets of lunacy in Farmington and Rangeley)

The rural parts of the state are mostly Republicans but only with regards to gun rights. Thats really the only thing keeping them tied to the R's. They're all for more welfare and big state nonsense because its how these small dying villages hold on.

The only time you hear about Susan Collins on the news is when she's bragging about bringing more pork home to the state. Especially when it's Bath Iron Works.

I really can't even begin to explain the levels of leftist lunacy here in this state. Imagine a whole area consumed by the same people who constitute the Berkeley faculty lounge (I bought my house from a Berkeley faculty member who used it as his vacation home).

I know more than a couple people who admit voting for both Biden and Collins in 2020... it's just the way it is up here. Don't believe for a second that this place is going to elect another Republican governor. It ain't happening.

Nothing will happen to her. She was cagey in the way she worded her tweet. She does not admit that his laughter at her stupid "pronoun pin" was the reason she missed his vein. If questioned, she will just say that there was no causal connection between his remarks and her missing the vein. She will say that she has missed veins on other patients, that he has narrow veins, or that he moved his arm at the wrong second, or some other excuse, and that will be the end of it. Everybody will know she is lying, but nothing more will happen to her. The school will say that they have investigated and satisfied themselves that there was no offense.

301 Meanwhile at our wide-open southern border, the Biden Junta expects more than half a million illegal aliens a month once the covid restrictions are lifted in May.

Even Barky Obama has admitted that Biden's "everybody come on in" border policies are "unsustainable."

But why worry? After all, we have money to spare, right? Plenty of cash lying around to pay for the many needs of the millions of new unskilled, uneducated, non-English-speaking newcomers flooding in. And of course we have an unending supply of good-paying jobs for these folks in all the new factories and utility plants we're quickly building, right?

Oh I don't think it's going to work. Hell, Peter Schweizer has laid all of this out in his book with documented evidence months ago. Miranda Devine has also documented it. They have to try but I think they are shoveling against the tide here.

Joe was involved with this up to his hair plugs and fake teeth and he is so unpopular I think the tide will eventually turn on him. He ain't the Mocha Messiah.

I've been seeing this word (trailblazer) used more and more frequently, as an evolution of the words 'protester' and 'influencer'. I think it is probably a combination of a recruitment tool ("You too can be a trailblazer!") and rebranding to add an history-making connotation to progressivism.

The only real drama is whether it's going to turn on Joe before the mid-terms, or just after. If the Dem party had any will to survive, they need to make the turn this summer. But I don't think they do, so my guess is that nothing is done until its far too little, far too late.

25th Amendment procedures are bizarre and arcane; I read through them a couple years back, and impeachment is actually easier. BUT the reason I think it could be a plan is that while we could never get Dem senators to go along with impeachment, I think we *could* get them to go along with a 25th Amendment removal, if Kamala is behind it.

Now of course we end up with Kamala as Prez; but I believe this would be so toxic a move for them as to totally discredit her and the remains of the dem party for the next 50 years.

375 358 He totally refuses to believe anything or anyone who criticizes "the science". The idea that the drug companies or the CDC and FDA put "profits over people" is blasphemy to him. But, the he's 80 and Silents love the gov.

Speaking as someone who worked on the vaccines (actually I was the one that linked the investigative sites EHR systems to our Clinical Data Management System) I can tell you that at least at my level, the #1 concern is patient safety and conduct of the trial according to regulatory requirements and GCP (Good Clinical Practices).

What the bigwigs are doing isn't known to us on the ground but I totally understand anyone's hesitancy to take any pharmaceutical product.

376 "my town, New Marlborough MA, is 99.5 white-- Yeah, those are the folks who are most pro "diversity".

Maybe they should apply "disparate impact" across the whole state. New Marlborough must finds ways to arrest the same % of their citizens as big cities do. It is only "fair". But the plan seems to be to imports and transport illegals and blacks into the white zones? (nah, the super white will still be safe zones for the elite ... only patriot zones need to be diversified by force.)

380 She's a political temporizer whose voting record is equidistant between the median of the Democratic caucus and the median of the Republican caucus. It's a stance that used to be much more common 40-odd years ago than it is now. Hugh Scott, who led the Senate Republican caucus from 1969 to 1977 was just this sort of politician. No reason to get worked up about her. She is who she has always been. (And she's not vicious in the matter of Democratic senators, nor offensive in the manner of Lisa Murkowski. She's just inconvenient).

383 "the Biden Junta expects more than half a million illegal aliens a month once the covid restrictions are lifted in May."

I dunno.

Maybe, like the blm and antifa *mostly peaceful* firestarters, these "dreamers" will stop traffic, destroy public property, occupy buildings and march up your driveway to throw rocks and demand you kneel before them and kiss their feet and apologize for your privilege.

Or, maybe they are all 'scienctests 'n sheeit' who will cure cancer.

After all, this administration's "long dark winter" has to start sometime.

388 IF the Pubs take the House and Senate in November likely and file the impeachment paperwork, the discovery phase will rock your sh-t really hard. I forsee mass arkiancides for many of the players. Damn shame that would be. Uh Huh.

So, what's the over-under on Kamala Toe. Here it is- she's way over her head and under the table giving head. Pelosi will stumble fumble and fail upwards drunk on her azz. Who will she select to be VP. The name Schumer keeps floating to the top like a t-rd in a punchbowl. OK then who will lead the House. Senate. Looks like a row of black on white dominos falling in sequence.

390 My programmer is trying to convince me to move
to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.
But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using Movable-type on numerous websites for about a
year and am worried about switching to another platform.
I have heard excellent things about blogengine.net.

Is there a way I can import all my wordpress posts into it?

Any help would be really appreciated!
