The Morning Report - 4/11/22

Good morning, kids. Start of a new week and Team Biden continues to furiously wag the Irish wolfhound's body with the teacup Yorkie's tail as more and more contents from Hunter Biden's laptop, you know the one that for 18 months everyone insisted was Russian disinformation but which the NY Times quietly the other day declared true, are revealed. While some of it is lurid and disgusting insofar as Hunter's perversions and deviancies are concerned, more and more of it centers around massive graft and corruption directly linked to "the Big Guy." While the media desperately attempts to feign ignorance as to the identity of that mystery man, everyone knows it can only be the demented pervert occupying the Oval Office.

So, with what's left of our southern border set to be completely erased at the end of next month, the economy nosediving into the ground, and the battle for the minds and now bodies of our children alarming more and more heretofore unaware parents heating up, Biden and the party that foisted him on us all because the orange-complected, nouveau-riche gavone with the comb-over from Queens said "pussy" and sent mean Tweets, is set for an historic wipeout at the polls come November.

Okay. The GOP probably retakes both chambers. Will that really stop a political party as well as the unelected massive bureaucracy and a corrupt rubber-stamp judiciary that carves their edicts into granite from doing whatever the hell it wants anyway? And this same GOP just allowed arguably the most incompetent, nakedly ideological anti-American judge to take a seat on the SCOTUS. That's on top of year after year of promising the moon and stabbing us in the back. Look what they did the last time they controlled Congress and the White House. Not that they controlled Trump, but you get my meaning. Electoral comeuppance only lasts so long and goes so far.

In any case, with the Chinese COVID fever maybe, just maybe, finally breaking and the Ukrainian "front" also dragging on and passing the political expediency expiration date, what's the Klain Kalorama Komintern to do in order to fire up its base? Aside from the surefire, can't miss tactic of hiring paid shills to bellow at you about how wonderful $8.00 a gallon gasoline, junk-tucking swimmers and a nuclear-armed Iran are, once more, it's time to go after gun owners.

“The Biden [junta] will come out with its long-awaited ghost gun rule — aimed at reining in privately made firearms without serial numbers that are increasingly cropping up at crime scenes — as soon as Monday,” the Associated Press reported. “The White House has also been weighing naming Steve Dettelbach, a former U.S. attorney from Ohio, to run the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, or ATF.”

Far-left activist David Hogg tweeted on Saturday that he would be in attendance for the event, writing, “I will be at the White House on Monday for an announcement from the president of the United States on what actions are being taken to reduce gun violence". . .

. . . The Biden [junta] released its proposed rule last May which “would modernize the definition of ‘frame or receiver’ and help close a regulatory loophole associated with the un-serialized privately made firearms that” the [junta] claimed “are increasingly being recovered at crime scenes across the country.”

Here's a thought; instead of going after law-abiding citizens, how about not releasing hardened violent felons or stop refusing to prosecute them in the first place? Of course, that's not even the issue, although insofar as creating violence and unrest in the streets is supposed to engender another crisis that they can't let go to waste, wherein the citizenry will demand curfews or even martial law. No, these so-called ghost guns are a dodge. They want to disarm the citizenry since the Second Amendment is for sure the absolute last firewall before totalitarian tyranny.

All things considered, I don't see this issue firing up their base. All it's going to do is pour that $8.00 a gallon gasoline on the bonfire that is the seething rage of average Americans who are fed up and sickened at the collapse of our society and way of life in just the past 15 months alone. The estimable Roger Kimball's essay starts off with the great news about the FBI-created entrapment scam centered around framing innocent, albeit loudmouthed people for supposedly plotting to kidnap Michigan despot Wretched Whitmer.

. . . it is clear that, at the moment, the primary enemy is anyone associated with MAGA populism. The definition of who belongs in that suspect class is ever shifting. A few months ago, parents who objected to local school boards endorsing the imperatives of BLM or this week’s version of sexual exoticism were on the suspect list. No less an authority than Merrick Garland, attorney general of the United States, called upon the entire police power of the state, from the FBI down to the local constabulary, to identify and ferret out “threats” and “hate speech” directed against school boards by parents angry at efforts to corrupt their children. 

The publicity surrounding that imbroglio, and the success of Glenn Youngkin in making it the prime issue in his successful bid to become governor of Virginia, pushed the ill-begotten initiative into the shadows. But its very existence shows how far the radicalized state is willing to go. Ordinary parents are “domestic extremists” because they object to the perversion of their children? Really? 

I think we are at a sort of crossroads. The acquittals of Messrs. Martin, Harris, and Caserta shine a light on one road out of the crossing. The activities of the deep state and its media publicity arm describe another, less sanguine path. The state, as Joe Biden memorably put it, has all the F15s and nukes. But the other side has the vast majority of people. No movement without recognized legitimacy can last. That’s the good news. The bad news is that “not lasting” can describe a lengthy and turbulent time.

Agreed that things are not going to change overnight. But there are things brewing out there that will be where the real course correction comes from, or has a chance to come from. Stay angry. And engaged.

And he can't full-on embrace the transgender agenda as demanded by the radical left or Disney theme parks would empty out the next day.

I don't see it that way, as "either/or" as the author claims. I see a long grinding battle, where Disney money works overtime on Florida Republicans.

Seriously, this is BS of the highest order. This old broad was and is fully on board with the party's radical cultural policies or she would've done something about it long ago.

42 Even a majority of Democrats back the legislation. And yet, outlets like NPR and CNN, and subsequently their audiences, have reacted to its passage as though it were an edict from the pope. The cultural left's blind spot here is profound.

The Florida law is a little like the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand. DeSantis didn't propose this law; I remember the first news conference where he was asked about it and he said he would read it before reacting. Then, after study and because it is obviously good, he backed it to the hilt. So, war started almost by accident.

But it is war nonetheless! And it is America versus the woke coast and the enemies of the people, the Propaganda Press.

44 Re the story about the kid being denied a transplant because his father isn't vaccinated: he's actually being denied because his prospective DONOR, who happens to be his father, isn't vaccinated. That's kind of an important detail which you have to read the accompanying story to find out.

Don't get me wrong, there's still plenty to criticize about the hospital's policy. However, it is NOT a case of the kid being "punished" because of his father's actions; it's a case of the hospital refusing to make a reasonable exception to its policy that they won't operate on a kidney donor unless the donor is vaxxed. I still think the father is in the right here but I also think presenting the story as "the hospital is arbitrarily punishing an innocent kid because of something his father did" is misleading.

Something is afoot for sure. The board seat came with strings - namely, a cap on his holdings at 15% of the company and he'd have to resign and disengage from corporate governance for 90 days before buying more. If he had allies on the board - like, say, the representatives from the mutual funds that own giant chunks of the company - this might have been okay.

That he declined the board position probably means one of two things:
1. He doesn't have those allies, and so needs to acquire a much bigger piece of the company
2. He does have those allies and they are able to run interference and trigger some reforms within the company while Musk expands and consolidates his position

Or something else. Just an immediate gut-check reaction.

A lot, actually. I'm NOT saying it's a good policy. However, to headline this story as the hospital totally denying the kid a transplant purely because his father's not vaxxed makes the hospital policy sound more monstrous and arbitrary than it really is.

If another donor could be found who is a match and was vaxxed, the hospital would accept that regardless of what the father did. (His mother was the second choice but she also is not vaxxed.) Again, I'm NOT saying this is a good policy. I'm just saying don't distort it beyond recognition.

90 I can't see Musk trying to drive up stocks. Richest man in the world? Why does he need another cent? He doesn't. He may be eccentric, sure. But money is not his motive here.

Yeah, if money was his motive, there are innumerable ways for him to acquire more. This does seem to be about sending a message...

91 That he declined the board position probably means one of two things:
1. He doesn't have those allies, and so needs to acquire a much bigger piece of the company
2. He does have those allies and they are able to run interference and trigger some reforms within the company while Musk expands and consolidates his position

Or something else. Just an immediate gut-check reaction.
Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at April 11, 2022 08:15 AM (DU+/6)

Good analysis - my gut feeling is that he couldn't find any allies on the board (they sure haven't been in evidence up until now) so he needs to be able to hold the threat of a complete buyout of a controlling interest over their head.

I felt from the beginning that a Seat on the Board was just a meaningless gesture intended to buy him off. Individual board members have no power to do anything, unless they have wide ranged support from others.

92 If the polymer 80 is now a firearm because it could be made into a firearm. And a solvent trap is a silencer because it could be made into a silencer. Where does it end? Does Exxon need to register the oil it pumps out of the ground as a firearm because it could eventually become plastic used in a firearm? Does Alcoa have to register bauxite?

93 By repeating the Florida bill as the left has named it, "don't say gay," you're fueling the misnomer on what the bill is.

It is an "anti-groomer" bill, plain and simple. Call it what it ACTUALLY is.

I couldn't agree more. We must stop letting them overtake the language. This is a perfect example. The bill has literally nothing to do with "don't say gay." It's not what it's titled. It's not its objective, at all. Yet they say it and the phrase they assign sticks. We have to start throwing their hijacked language back in their faces. I'm not opposed to using force...

97 'Amgreatness' and 'Americanthinker' are two of the dumbest websites on the internet but carrying water for the Putin regime over war-crimes is a new low for them.
They can't even agree on a timeline between themselves.

The Amgreatness line about how they must have swapped the bodies from the ones clearly visible in satellite photos because they 'should be more decomposed' is absolutely insane and should tell any sensible person what you need to know about these people. BTW, here are uncensored photos out there that show the terrible state of the bodies.

It is clear what happened in Bucha and who is responsible but for some reason there are people who claim to be part of the Conservative movement going to extremes to excuse Russia at every turn.

106 As an invested outsider I think Musk's intent is to stir the pot over at Twitter and see what shakes out. If it's true some of the rank and file are having the vapors his intent might be to create enough pressure on these leftist shits to quit. If enough of them bail here's something to consider; do a significant number of them have some sort of exit package as part of their initial employment? This used to be a big draw.

Even if they don't, and enough of the rank and file leaves Twitter the company could effectively cease to function properly.

Yesterday's results were, surprisingly, almost exactly what polling said it would be. Macron 28% (FAR from a majority), LePen 23%, Melenchon (the socialist) 21%, and Zemmour, LePen's biggest rival on the right, 7%. (small parties making up the balance.)

So now it goes to a runoff between Macron and LePen.
LePen has a guaranteed 30% in the runoff, Macron has a guaranteed 28%. The big question is, what will the Socialists do? Their choice will be deciding; they have no love for LePen, but they also hate Macron for they way he's been crapping on all of their demands since he's been in office. It's going to be an interesting election.

This was a constant refrain for many years in Colorado. Colorado has a lot of stuff named after General Chivington. The Left wanted all those things renamed because of the Sand Creek Massacre.

Those things were not named after Chivington because of the Massacre, but because of his actions during the War Between the States. He was asked to be a chaplain, but refused because he wanted to fight. He did. He took pieces of the Colorado territorial militia to the New Mexico territory to kick the Texans out and re-secure the southwest for the Union. The far western and southwestern battles were not terribly important to the overall war all things considered, but Chivington whipped enough Texan ass - and radically outmaneuvered them, to the point that he converted defeats into victories. That, not the Indian massacre, is why stuff is named after him.

This is only sort of true. I'm willing to bet "only" 1/5 of the company's revenue comes from FL (Disney World, primarily), but the House of Mouse bet big on FL decades ago, and if that revenue stream goes away (or is even severely restricted), that will have a negative impact elsewhere.

People want Disney to be apolitical. Proving that, not only are they not apolitical, but they actively hate the values of a majority of the country would absolutely destroy them.

Absolutely. My answer is I don't have the first damn clue. Maybe he was an early adopter and liked to get vaccinated in the morning. And maybe he didn't have any antibodies. I'm an educated man, but I'm afraid I can't speak intelligently about the transplant policies of the Cleveland Clinic. What I do know is that he was set to leave the pre-op holding area at 0600. Now, are these the questions I was really called here to answer? Kidney transplants and COVID vaccines? Please tell me that you have something more, Lieutenant.

Yep. The worst part about that story is the dad already had covid, so he already has antibodies to the virus -- and the protection he got from being infected is longer-lasting than the protection one gets from the vaccine, according to multiple scientific studies.

But the hospital doesn't give a damn about the science they supposedly love sexually. No, all they care about is punishing this family because the father wouldn't submit to the left's irrational demand that everybody must get vaccinated, whether they need to or not.

As reported, it illegally expands the definition of a gun and used the ATF's power to go after anyone with a federal license or now where the ATF incorrectly perceives one is needed. It is going to illegally make a host of gun parts into federally regulated pieces by subverting the definition of "guns". There is also purportedly some additional overreach- which is not surprising.

212 May 24 will see the runoff election for the Texas AG's office between Ken Paxton and George P. Bush. It's looking to be extremely amusing, and a fitting end to the 7 Decade Bush family hold on public office.

Some were worried that Paxton only received about 42% in the original primary, against 3 other candidates each with strong followings. As I thought (and said) at the time, not only have all of Gohmert's backers switched to Paxton, so have most of the others. A recent poll shows Paxton leading George P. Bush by a margin of 65% to 23%. What was even better, that same poll found that, among Republican Primary voters in Texas, 2/5 said that they would NEVER again vote for anyone named Bush for any office whatsoever, and that they'd probably vote either Democrat or Libertarian if a Bush was on the ballot.

The Bush family political dynasty is finally going to die on May 24.

That puts the number at approximately 66 million people here illegally. Even with the past ten years in mind, that strikes me as high
__________

Sadly, it's not.

The Biden Junta is predicting that there will be 500,000 illegal aliens per month once the covid restrictions are lifted. That's compared to the 150,000 they say are coming in every month now. Five hundred thousand a month (and remember that government estimates of the numbers of illegals are always deliberately low-balled) means 6 million new illegal aliens per year, minimum. Six million x 4 years = 24 million illegals in Biden's first term.

There are probably around 30-40 million illegal aliens already living in the U.S., so add another 25-30 million or so waved in by the Biden Junta, and Patrick's prediction is entirely possible.

Some were worried that Paxton only received about 42% in the original primary, against 3 other candidates each with strong followings. As I thought (and said) at the time, not only have all of Gohmert's backers switched to Paxton, so have most of the others. A recent poll shows Paxton leading George P. Bush by a margin of 65% to 23%. What was even better, that same poll found that, among Republican Primary voters in Texas, 2/5 said that they would NEVER again vote for anyone named Bush for any office whatsoever, and that they'd probably vote either Democrat or Libertarian if a Bush was on the ballot.

The Bush family political dynasty is finally going to die on May 24.
