The Morning Report - 4/18/22

Good morning, kids. Hope you all had a blessed Easter and Passover. So, while our attention was focused last week mostly on a shooting rampage in a Brooklyn subway station carried out by a racial jihadist amped up on a lifetime of brainwashing, the same purveyors of the poison that led to what happened there are getting ready for another spring and summer of love over another innocent-as-the-day-is long black man named Patrick Lyoya who was gunned down in cold blood by a white supremacist with a badge in Grand Rapids, MI.

Well, that's what the propaganda line is.

In point of fact, after being pulled over by the cops for some sort of traffic violation, an altercation ensued in which Lyoya bolted from the scene, and after a brief chase, struggled with the officer and tried wresting the officer's taser away, leaving the officer no alternative but to shoot the suspect dead. Chris Rock, of all people, famously had a routine called "How Not to Get Your Ass Kicked by the Police!" Evidently, Lyoya never saw it. Neither did George Floyd, Trayvon Martin, Mike Brown, and a long list of young black men and women who are the cannon fodder for the Marxist divide-and-conquer Democrats. It is tragic in the extreme when anyone's life is cut short. But let's face facts. The reason that blacks represent a disproportionate number of those incarcerated or, sadly, meet a violent end either at the hands of the police or far more overwhelmingly by others of their ilk is because they are committing the vast majority of crimes. In any case, all of these alleged victims were set on the road to their demise almost from the day they were born by not only a political party and movement that used them for their own gain, but by the moral failings of the parents who spawned them.

While the chattering class and media focus on inequities and claims of social injustice, Dr. [Charles] Murray (Ph.D. MIT) points out that although there is certainly racism in every society and in America, the reality is that the inequities of socioeconomic status are more the result of cognitive ability and criminal activity.

The majority of the relatively short but powerful and scholarly book, Facing Reality, is focused on data and evidence. Murray repeatedly reminds us that all social science research must always be careful to consider contributing factors.

Murray disputes the fashionable assumption that racial discrimination creates social inequities.  The reality, says Murray, is that racial inequalities in America between European- and African-heritage people in health, wealth, position, status, and income can be traced to a significant disparity in African Americans’ cognitive ability and criminal behavior.  The inequalities are also present to a lesser degree for Latin-heritage people. . .

. . . Murray’s view of the disparate higher rate of criminality in the African and Latin communities is a separate analysis that has to do with how members of a group fit into the society as good citizens.  If your group has a violent crime rate 2 or 3 times or more than the rate of the Europeans and Asians, that produces less assimilation and less success. 

Murray aims to revive what he calls the “American creed,” a set of ideal commitments to foundational freedoms, human dignity, individualism, equality under the law, and the use of neutral, colorblind measures of individual talent and competence to assign economic and social roles. . . Critical Race Theory and its associated concepts have created an environment that repudiates the principles of the founding and created counterproductive and polarizing abandonment of the American principle of a meritocracy and treatment of citizens as individuals, not members of a race, ethnic group, or tribe. . .

. . . The American meritocracy that Murray promotes requires dismantling the Diversity Equity Inclusion (DIE) governmental business and academic bureaucracies, now well developed and able to preserve their hegemony.  At present these bureaucracies are blind to the realities Murray discusses.

In The Bell Curve, which was my introduction to Murray 30 years ago, Murray and Herrnstein emphasized that civil conduct and the adoption of sensible and moral social behavior will overcome some of the disadvantages of a lower IQ.  Marriage and work create an ordered personal life that extends to community participation and social justice.  Societies need to promote norms of behavior.

We know little about improving IQs, but the research of Murray and Herrnstein showed that people of limited cognitive ability will be successful if they complete high school, then work and work effectively, marry before children and live a good citizen’s life of obeying the law. Imagine a national program to promote strong intact families and civil society.  Common sense, but far removed from the current political-social attitudes.

I'm a bit reticent about the notion of minorities being inherently less intelligent vis a vis IQ scores than whites. But when you compare the mountain of research that went into the authors drawing that conclusion with the raving lunacy of Ibram X. Krement and Calypso Louie in proclaiming white people as genetically predisposed to being racist devils, well then, let's research the former premise. Of course, even suggesting it would be stepping on a political third rail while government and the private sector are falling all over themselves to kneel at the alter of "toxic whiteness."

As Victor Davis Hanson intimates, this crap is how nations and societies commit suicide.

The use of racial preferences (i.e., "racism") to stop racism hinges either on proving systemic racism in current America or resorting to the Aeschylean notion that the sins of the past generations must fall on present generations—even if there are few who are direct descendants of ground-zero “racist” slave owners or Jim-Crow adherents.

But are such “systemic” notions really true? Several ethnic minorities enjoy higher per capita incomes than do whites. Whites commit hate crimes at lower percentage rates than do blacks. In some categories of rare interracial crimes, blacks, for example, are far more likely to attack whites violently than vice versa. They are also disproportionately responsible for the upsurge in hate crimes committed against Asians.

White officers are not more likely to shoot unarmed black suspects than are minority officers. At least in terms of all those arrested each year; the police are not less likely to shoot disproportionately white unarmed suspects than black unarmed suspects. Until the train wreck of the Biden [junta] hit us, blacks had achieved their lowest unemployment rate in U.S. history at a time of nearly zero inflation. . .

. . . What is the result of the constant racial stereotyping of 230 million of all different lineages and classes as some single-minded, hateful undifferentiated borg called “white”? Do we remember the Yale lecture by New York psychiatrist Dr. Aruna Khilanani, who bragged, “I had fantasies of unloading a revolver into the head of any white person that got in my way, burying their [sic] body and wiping my bloody hands as I walked away relatively guiltless with a bounce in my step, like I did the world a favor?”

What comes from normalizing elite racist discourse like the following from a Damon Young, a New York Times contributor: “Whiteness is a public health crisis. It shortens life expectancies, it pollutes air, it constricts equilibrium, it devastates forests, it melts ice caps, it sparks (and funds) wars, it flattens dialects, it infests consciousnesses, and it kills people . . . .”?

Why then would we not see a mass murderer like Darrell Brooks driving his car to kill as many of the air polluters and climate change killers as possible in Waukesha? Did Brooks have a “bounce” in his step in the aftermath? Did the Black Lives Matter organizer who rushed to the scene to gush over the mass murder as the possible start of the “revolution?" . . .

. . . So why wouldn’t a known racist firebrand like Brooks or Frank James, the racist subway shooter, believe that he was only acting out the thoughts of elites who were bragging about either shunning non-improved whites or playing at beheading them?

The Youngs and Mystals and their counterparts in all races are the rarer foot soldiers. They act out the theories and rants of far more numerous, privileged, and elite racialists in a dysfunctional but symbiotic relationship. The former lap up and normalize elite hatred, their even more privileged brethren assume the ensuing chaos of the street will be utilitarian in leveraging more of their own privilege from those of their own exclusive class.

Of winds and whirlwinds, my friends.

Disney locked in the animosity from the Right when CEO Bob Chapek groveled, apologized, and pledged to "be a better ally for the LGBTQ+ community" like he was in a hostage video, then went further to say Disney would fight to overturn Florida's modest law. That is when Governor Ron DeSantis said that Disney had "crossed the line"

31 I think the problem with assuming part of the "disparate societal outcomes" has to do with "cognitive ability" is that it seems to assume that one race has a significantly lower top limit (or at least median) IQ than another, and I don't find a lot of evidence for that.

For every Ibrahim X Kendi there's a Walter Williams.

Rather, I think the issue (once more caused by democrats) is one of education. Blacks are often much less educated than whites in any fashion. Not just academic schooling, which rural whites also often lack, but any sort of education or training that forces the mind to work along with the body.

Those blacks who do obtain a solid education (again, either academically or otherwise), tend to do just fine in "white" society.

From what I have seen, anyway.

What do you call a suicide brought on by a murderer? What is when someone kills himself because he's been driven mad and given no way out by a malefactor who slowly and deliberately executed a plan to drive him mad and filled him with self-loathing and despair with the hope that the victim would eat a bullet? Is that suicide or murder?

47 Gov. Abbott is Staging Political Theater as the Border Explodes

I'm not a huge Abbott fan but the fact remains that there's not much he can do about the border. Sure, he could announce that he's mobilizing the NG but that would get shut down immediately - meaning that it would be political theater. This is what happens when 81 million "people" vote for chaos.

In this case, I think the Texas Government has actually handled the border issue better than they have been.

1. They're still stopping ALL vehicles at the border except one specific crossing (where the Governor there agreed to enforce immigration law on their side of the border). This directly hurts the Federales and the Mexican Government as well as causing "supply chain disruptions" in the US - meaning people have to pay attention, even if they pretend it's "just racist."

2. By sending the illegals to DC, he's officially making them Someone Else's Problem and limiting how much the Texas government and Texans have to deal with them.

Only thing better would be to ship them directly to Martha's Vineyard and the Hamptons.

If "conservatives" cared about free speech and wanted a social media platform, they'd be on Gab. They're not, though, because there are racists and nazis on Gab - they're a small percentage but they're noisy. This means that they're not serious about free speech. They just want different people banned.

61 The route to success is not finishing high school, getting a job, and waiting to have kids until after marriage.

Exactly. The "route to success" is either be really good at sports, be exploitable as a musician, or be on government assistance for your entire life.

The ones who (usually through a two-parent, religious household) buck that trend have been very successful in my experience.

67 I think it is very apparent that popular black culture actively discourages even persecutes academic success

I'd say success in general; and I'd say not just that culture but others do this as well.

So just got back from Colorado. I know it has problems. but living outside of Philly it seemed like PARADISE to me. And a high percentage of recent Hispanic immigrants, it seems like. Dynamic, fun, a little slow-moving maybe, but wow. Would move to Denver in a heartbeat. You guys out there are lucky.

And what I'm moving AWAY from is not just "low intelligence" or even "African culture" - it's East Coast culture. It's negativity. It's anti-dynamism. It's shame-culture. These joy-kiliers ARE the problem, not aggregate intelligence. It's a culture problem yes, a brain-power problem? NO

71 If "conservatives" cared about free speech and wanted a social media platform, they'd be on Gab.

It really isn't that simple. Until and unless Gab can become an actual competitor to the Blue Bird (that is: a substantial number of "personalities" have accounts on both), conservatives of many persuasions will have to remain on Twitter, or just not engage in one of the most impactful fronts of the culture war. (Though that's moving to Instagram, TikTok, and other platforms that are *also* part of the Liberal mafia.)

And cross posting is exhausting.

I'm all for Gab, and the minute it becomes a truly viable option for me, I'll be over there. But it isn't that, yet.

100 And lawsuits fly. In Knoxville, a group of parents sued the school board to force the school system to impose a mask mandate. The judge demanded extralegal mediation first, which is underway. If that fails, it goes to court.


these parents - we have them here, esp in Radnor/Main Line area - are wielding their children's "disability" status as a weapon. In their minds, immune-deficient children have a disability that trumps all the OTHER disabilities that are negatively affected by masks - hearing problems, sight problems, chronic migraine (Orchid's hand pops up), OCD/anxiety, speech pathologies ... the list goes on and on. but who cares about all that! Pretty flower masks on EVERYONE!

Yup. My nephew was advised by his doctor, in writing, not to take the vaccine and the Marines still discharged him. Which sucks, because the Marines was the best thing for him and he'd been in for a year at that point. As always, the government can't admit it was wrong, so we all pay the price.

107 Almost as inexcusably, the re-launched branding is relentlessly positive. The new campaign - the first in 20 years for the 77-year-old company - is called "Seize the Yay." It focuses on celebrating the myriad joys of ordinary life. In a press release, Baskin-Robbins explains

That's good, and I hope it marks the start of a trend in that direction. The thing with Wokeness and the rest of the madness is that you don't even have to be on "the other side" of it, you just have to not be on *their* side of it. You don't have to loudly proclaim traditionalism, you just have to *not* advance the woke agenda. It amounts to the same thing to the hard left, and I hope it works out for them.

Made your bed? That’s a reason to celebrate. Put on pants with actual buttons? There’s another! ...

More power to 'em. Basic decency and doing your chores shouldn't be reason for celebration, but in a culture where "adulting" is a word, every little bit might help.

In early 2020, Americans generally decided to give up their freedom in exchange for a false sense of security. As with any deal with the mob, they paid the price but the promised benefit never really showed up. Funny, that.

Now, getting our actual freedom back is going to require measures for which few have the stomach - if it's even possible to get back in the first place.

123 When your 6 figure salary depends on you solving inequality, the answer will always be "We have come so far, but there is so much more to be done". It acknowledges your effectiveness so far, compliments the people you control for their efforts, but keeps you employed as you continue to root out the racism and bigotry. The message it sends to the employees is "Even though you have been going to these seminars and policing your speech, you are still racists and the beatings will continue."

The real reason to impeach Biden is quite simple. They won't be able to remove him, and I'm not sure impeaching him will wound him much (he's already wounded).

It's part revenge, but it is mostly just to water down the impeachment process. Having a 3rd president impeached in the last 30 years shows that it is a rather feckless political tactic.

To some extent, there is one hard deadline, if FJB stays in office past Jan 20 of 2023, then Kamala is able to run for two terms in office if she becomes president.

But, if the Dems do indeed get a shellacking up and down the ballot in November plus the oligarchs that funded the steal in 2020 refuse to fund 'get out the vote' operations then their taste for Biden may be over. Right now, I think it is that a lot of grifting can be done with a feckless demented prezzie to blame but once that cuts into money and power (officeholders), the short run grifting advantage becomes less of a factor.

His failures are worse and more frequent. Listen to the consonants. Even when they have him doped up and doing well by Biden standards, he screws up consonant selection constantly.

This was *really* on display a couple of months ago. The decline just between his marathon press conference in January and his SOTU in February was remarkable. In both cases, they had him drugged to the gills, rested, well prepped and well managed. His mumble-mouthed and almost arbitrary consonant selection was way worse at the SOTU, under better conditions.

Ukraine is a corrupt shithole that the Biden family, along with too many other US politicians made millions of corrupt $$$ from. Between that and the viral labs, I don't care how it gets leveled, but it needs to be. It's a source of evil and destruction for the world.

171 The Jackass Party is completely in the hands of people whose intent is to take the country down. The best possible strategy for them is to keep Biden in office for as long as possible.

All the crimes, lies and failures can be thrown in on top of his Presidential Casket before they wave over the front-end-loader to fill up the hole.

Shoving an (incompetent) woman into the oval orifice to finish the job is contra to the Superhuman Female theme they've been pushing for the past 30+ years.

They won't go there.

GOP won't do anything to stop any of it. They know they can throw in some of their own crimes, lies and failures, too.

And one thing to keep in mind here, as of the last time I checked the left had never found any voter that was denied the ability to vote because he didn't have ID.

Back when they were hot and bothered for this after the 2000 election they did find people that had to cast provisional ballots, but that is the way the system is supposed to work, and their ballots were counted.

183 JD Vance endorsed by PDJT. Another primary endorsement roils the waters in an already contentious election battle. Gibbons was doing pretty well against Josh Mandel and now it looks like Mandel is back in the lead, or so says Trafalgar. Trump's endorsement of the number 3 candidate splits opposition to Mandel. Few think Mandel beats Tim Ryan, the Demofascist, and so the thinking is this was a high risk move by Trump.

If a bunch of white people are forced to run an NFL combine style test for no reason and they all phone it in just to get the hell out of there because they got better things to do, or they don't value physical prowess, or whatever, you can't then say that white people are now Scientifically Proven to be inferior athletes and start drawing sweeping conclusions and drafting universal race based ordinances and laws about it.

One amusing part of that war...

When the war was actually happening the left generally supported Saddam - he was a modern socialist/friend of the Soviets after all. They doubled downed on this after the war when we had some conflicts in the Gulf with Iran...but then completely reversed course after the 1991 war with Iraq arguing Reagan propped up the Iraqis when we should have been supporting the Iranians!...and they've bounced around since then.

He was the lone dissenter against a pack of braying fanatics, egged on by a motley trio consisting of a grifter and two useful idiots, one of whom is the most famed enforcer of liberal dogma from decades past.

These shows are set up this way deliberately, as part of the psyop. Whether it's 'This Week' or 'The View' or this Jon Stewart thing, there is always one conservative to 3-4 leftists, and a left-wing audience. It reinforces the message. "You (conservatives) are the minority, the fringe. Your ideas are marginal and we outnumber you."

This message is aimed primarily at the left-wing audience, to reinforce their self-esteem. To reinforce the narrative that the left is "on the right side of history," that left-wing beliefs are the normal, to keep their followers in-line with the fear of being exiled to the margins if they don't conform.

I doubt it will rally the Dems any more than Nixon's impending impeachment rallied the Republicans of that era. The sour economy of that era with high inflation and high unemployment did not make itself conducive to such.

Clinton and Trump impeachments were fair to say aberrations where the farce was built into it from the beginning. The second Trump impeachment was pretty much unconstitutional and did nothing for the Dems politically.

That was actually how Parliament used impeachment during the 1500's to 1600's. Parliament was thought to be unable to remove a king (until Charles II happened) but could and did remove king's ministers via impeachment.

I agree. You need 66 Senators for either option, and because of the stigma attached to impeachment, the Dem Senators will *never* go for that no matter how badly he is doing in the polls (and dragging them down with him) But I continue to believe that after the evidence of a disastrous election is behind them, they are going to be desperate for some way to get rid of him. If he cannot be convinced to "retire" do to health reasons, I can see them signing on to a 25th amendment removal. (which is more difficult than impeachment)

To force a case though specifically on Twitter, you have to smoke out the relationship first and Robert's favorite no standing rulings will not apply here because taxpayer lawsuits with full standing are permitted specifically when the violations by the government are related to 1st Amendment misconduct (establishment, free exercise, or free speech/press).

That's true, but there's also a time component to the test. Way back when, when I took the test I remember the teacher saying something to the effect - don't worry if you run out of time. Something which should not have been said, as I took my time. It was only when I saw my friends finishing early and turning the paper in, that I started to hustle. The test was ridiculously easy.

CF Industries believes it will still be able to fulfill delivery of product already contracted for rail shipment to Union Pacific destinations, albeit with likely delays. However, because Union Pacific has told the Company that noncompliance will result in the embargo of its facilities by the railroad, CF Industries may not have available shipping capacity to take new rail orders involving Union Pacific rail lines to meet

It was a British Colonial Court that ruled on that.

312 For anyone looking for an honest and non-woke discussion about race from two black guys...look up Glenn Loury and John McWhorter. Glenn leans conservative (despite dabbling on the progressive side for a few years) and John is more of a JFK-era liberal, they are decidedly non-woke and are very critical of this new third wave antiracism.

John has a book out called "Woke Racism", and they do regular podcasts together on "The Glenn Show" and formerly called themselves "The Black Guys" on the bloggingheads.tv YouTube channel.

313 From Daily Caller: Interior Secretary Deb Haaland said, "How we manage our public lands and waters says everything about what we value as a nation...For too long, the federal oil and gas leasing programs have prioritized the wants of extractive industries above local communities, the natural environment, the impact on our air and water, the needs of Tribal Nations, and, moreover, other uses of our shared public lands...Today, we begin to reset how and what we consider to be the highest and best use of Americans' resources for the benefit of all current and future generations."

Haaland is a lunatic that is one dream catcher short of not being qualified for a seat on a village council let alone running the Department of Interior and the ramifications her decisions have on a modern industrial-technology based nation. The effect of these so called Green New Deal policies will, and most likely are intended to, create a neo-feudal society run by a quasi GND that has exactly zero technical understanding how technology works in a functioning modern world. Everything they propose is unworkable, will fail, and result in untold misery for generations.

314 My company once hosted a discussion on race with Ibram X. Coconuthead. I was expecting a sly, deceitful, loquacious lecture that would challenge my views of the world. But it was the most simplistic "whites bad, blacks good" sixth grade level presentation I ever heard in my life. The devil isn't sending his best.

315 Blacks are stupid, nasty, and violent.

Cops are equality opportunity thugs and nazis--just the other side of the same low-IQ thug coin.

Just saved you about a thousand words.
