The Morning Report - 5/2/22

Good morning, kids. Start of a new week and it's nice to be able to kick it off with a bit of good news for a change. Kathy Boudin, the Weathermen/Weather Underground terrorist Leftist who was the getaway driver in a Black Liberation Army robbery where her cohorts murdered officers Edward O'Grady, Waverly Brown and Peter Paige as well as wounding several others, is dead.

The news that the Good Lord at long last removed this creature from our presence comes from her vile spawn Chesa Boudin, the supposedly embattled San Francisco DA whose tenure turned that town into a pit even more hellacious than it already had devolved to, and put even Sodom and Gomorrah to shame. Evidently, she expired after a seven-year bout of cancer. Here's hoping her pain and suffering was prolonged, agonized and ugly. My condolences go to the cancer cells that had to endure their vile host. Hopefully they can find their way into the bodies of her acolytes, and we can be rid of them that much quicker, and then we can find peace and try to rebuild society in such a way as to prevent any more of these fiends from ever attaining positions of power and influence ever again.

My only disappointment is that Boudin and everyone involved in that robbery and all the other acts of murder, mayhem and terrorism that sought to overthrow America nearly 50 years ago didn't meet their end via the wrong end of a rope or strapped into Old Sparky. What's truly horrendous is that 50 years on, one of her acolytes was elected and then re-elected president. In point of fact, Barack Obama is still very much in power today. More on that in a moment.

I think because we tend to compartmentalize history, we fail to see that it is a continuum. There is a direct line from Kathy Boudin that extends back to individuals like Leon Czolgosz, the "anarchist" who assassinated President McKinley to Boudin and Billy Ayers all the way up to the present day with James Hodgkinson and Frank James the Brooklyn subway shooter (now virtually memory-holed). More crucially, it is the political movement and party that channeled and absorbed that violence and mainstreamed it into repression and "fundamental transformation" via legitimate and illegitimate political action. The ultimate goals of the aforementioned thugs are very much in line with individuals like Woodrow Wilson, FDR and Barack Hussein Obama - "mmm, mmm, MMMM!"

Billy Ayers, while still on the lam, discussed the need to liquidate upwards of 25 million Americans who could not be "re-educated" once he and his minions overthrew America and turned it into a vast communist gulag. Look where we are today. Scores of Americans have been languishing behind bars for nearly 18 months as a result of a staged FBI entrapment scam, the DOJ at the behest of the White House was and no doubt still is actively targeting parents for protesting the brainwashing of their children, and now, this same White House is setting up a so-called "Disinformation Governance Board" at the equally creepy "Department of Homeland Security."

Billy Ayers got it right when he put down the pipe bombs and set about training the then-future teachers. And here we are. From friend of the blog and friend Michael Walsh:

So now the mask has dropped and, for the first time, the American people can see the modern Left in all its hateful, unadorned, vituperative, spiteful glory. Case in point: the announcement last week that the Department of Homeland Security—one of the excrescences of the Bush administration, cobbled together in its panic over 9/11—has created the "Disinformation Governance Board" in order to combat what it has, via its hitherto little-known Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, already dubbed "mis-, dis-, and mal-information." Otherwise known as alternative points of view, but shut up, citizen. . .

. . . It is no coincidence that this Frankenstein monster and its screeching harpy boss have sprung to life just days after Elon Musk made his successful bid for Twitter, with a promise to end its blatant censorship of conservative points of view [including mine; I've been banned for "targeted harassment" since the summer of 2020, apparently for illustrating the shortcomings of such journalistic apparatchiks as Chuck Todd, Yamiche Alcindor, and Nick Confessore, as well as the "presidential historian" Michael Beschloss], throttling free discourse, seizing private information and holding it hostage, and blaming their NKVD tactics on an "algorithm" developed by their "trust and safety" star chamber. 

It also, purely coincidentally, comes directly in the wake of "former" president Barack Hussein Obama's speech at Stanford University endorsing more public censorship. Be sure to click on the video and listen to Barry, who unlike every other former president and in defiance of presidential custom, still lives in the District of Columbia, just a short drive from the White House . . .

Confirmed lurker extraordinaire Victor Davis Hanson:

When things turn south for the administration, Barack Obama—a sagging Netflix’s $50-million “idea man”—usually emerges from one of his three mansions in Hawaii, Martha’s Vineyard, or Kalorama to lecture clingers and deplorables on various threats they pose to the anointed. 

His sermons usually project his own transgressions. Recently, Obama went to Stanford University, in the heart of Silicon Valley, to admonish us that new free speech platforms might tolerate incorrect expression that he and the Left smear as “hate speech.” 

But is not Barack Obama ill-suited to lecture anyone on disinformation? Do we remember his Obamacare version of disinformation: “You can keep your doctor; you can keep your plan”? Do we recall “shovel-ready jobs”?

Obama was caught secretly promising Russian leader Dmitry Medvedev that the United States would deal away missile defense in Eastern Europe for Vladimir Putin’s good behavior (“but it’s important for him to give me space") during his 2012 reelection bid. Was this transparency or another example of how, but for a hot mic, “democracy dies in darkness?". . .

. . . This erosion of our culture reflects the growing political discontent in insidious ways: the fall-off of Netflix subscribers, the utter corruption of Black Lives Matter, the humiliation of Disney, the rapid collapse of CNN+, the grassroots revolt against critical race theory and transgender tyranny. 

Third, the Democratic Party no longer exists. It is now hard-left, as sanctimonious as it is shrill. Such zealots will not discard their ideology. Rather they would prefer to embrace dogma and stay unpopular than adopt and gain public approval. 

Do not expect a suddenly closed border, an abrupt resumption of the Keystone XL Pipeline, or a tough new federal crime bill. Do anticipate more wild conspiracy theories, more Russian disinformation, and more Pravda-like ministries.

In this context, the emergence of Elon Musk as the Silicon Valley dragon slayer is emblematic of the ongoing left-wing nightmare. 

As Musk pulls up the shades at Twitter, what are leftists to say: that billionaires should not become media barons, heretofore the pillars of the progressive movement? That suppressing free speech is more popular with the public than liberating expression? That some censorship is better than others? . . .

. . . We have seven more months before the midterms. As the disinformationists see no way out of their self-created Armageddon, expect more disinformation ministries, censorious czars, and hack grandees to emerge from the shadows.

Look what's going on in China. Shanghai has been turned into a giant prison, on the pretext of a Chinese COVID outbreak but really more as a political move to squash dissent/opposition to Xi Jinping's totalitarian control. Rabbi Chananya Weissman at Frontpage Mag takes it to the next level:

First, I wonder how many of these people have thought to scream to God in this darkest of times. It's difficult to expect this of them, being that the state religion of China is the Communist government, and believing in an even higher authority is extremely dangerous. I'm not here to judge the victims. But if 23 million people cried out to God, instead of just to the dark emptiness ... I don't know what He would do, but it would be powerful.

Another thought: If you ever wondered why so many Jews went like lambs to the slaughter, and it upset you that they didn't revolt against their tormentors, maybe now you can understand. Why don't 23 million people storm the streets and overrun their tormentors? Yes, many will be lost in the process, but victory is guaranteed.

What do they have to risk at this point, anyway? Being tortured to death in even more gruesome ways? Missing out on the better future that awaits them with continued subservience? They could hardly have less to lose at this point – but still they stay at home screaming and begging for food.

This is what happens when people are totally controlled, degraded, defeated, and conditioned to be obedient no matter what. If they are told to dig their own graves and stay there until they starve to death, or else, they will obey. They will complain about it, or scream, but in the moment of truth they will submit to the voice of authority.

The overwhelming majority of people all around you have been conditioned in exactly the same way. Over the last two years they have been significantly controlled, degraded, and defeated. They were told to harm themselves and their children in so many ways, or else, and they were obedient.

Everything the junta has done here is collapsing in on itself - and on us - catastrophically. They've been exposed as the criminals, thugs and pedophiles that they are to far too many people and all at once. Whatever elections may or may not mean in the long term, in the short term the Democrats are heading for a wipeout. GOPe fecklessness notwithstanding, or the Antarctic super volcano, SMOD or nuclear war notwithstanding either, it might be an even bigger wipeout in 2024.

Supposedly there exists an "internet kill switch" to be used in case of some sort of national emergency. We already had one of those in March of 2020 that was supposed to last two weeks, yet still lingers 110 weeks later. We now have a Ministry of Truth. Put those two together and what do you get? Elon Musk being prevented from owning Twitter is just the tip of the iceberg.

Imagine a GOP candidate with a stump speech blasting Biden's open borders and inflation. Then watch as he/she is handcuffed by DHS agents and hauled off for peddling "disinformation." Well, if that doesn't work, we still have good old fashioned political terrorism and violence from BLaM-tifa as was seen in Portland, where the GOP candidate for governor held a rally. Or tried to hold a rally.

And the spirit of Kathy Boudin lives on. We better wake the hell up, and I mean right now.

18 Saw on the Pixy thread someone talking about a quote - in 50 years we've gone from teaching Greek and Latin in HS to teaching remedial English in College.

I sometimes have to wonder what would have happened to the US and the world if we had kept to more Socratic / Liberal Arts curricula in public schools back in the 50s and 60s. But it was even back then that we started really pushing what we now call "STEM" (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics), and there are only so many hours in the day. So of course what suffered was the study of literature, philosophy, history, etc.

And now to look at Teh Content.

23 As Musk pulls up the shades at Twitter, what are leftists to say: that billionaires should not become media barons, heretofore the pillars of the progressive movement? That suppressing free speech is more popular with the public than liberating expression? That some censorship is better than others?

Not only is that precisely what they will say, Orwell proposes that is their central tenant! "We have always been at war with EastAsia", because that is their slogan of the moment; When the slogan changes, the expectation of forever adherence does not.

Part of why we're getting our ducks in a row to begin home schooling our kids is that we sat down and talked to our oldest and figure she has two to three hours of actual school instruction each day. Of that maybe 15-30 minutes is relevant to her, and the rest of the time is trying to get the remedial students to pass a standardized test at the end of the year so the teachers can get their raises.

27 So I see the left has mostly abandoned the argument Musk buying twitter is bad because oligarchs shouldn't control media orgs...after so many people pointed out Bezos, Slim, Zuckerberg and the rest.

Now I see two new arguments. Both stupid.

1) Free speech doesn't include speech the government doesn't like. It ONLY includes speech the government approves of.

2) Elites use free speech to control you! We need uh, other elites, to make sure you don't hear speech from other normies...because the first group of elites will use it to control you!

29 "Amid a supply-chain crisis, Biden [junta] policies are thwarting efforts to bring industrial jobs back home."

No. Really?

Though this does bring up a question that should be considered (not that the current regime is interested in anything but its own wealth and power) - what is the right balance between domestic production that might come at a higher price ("build it here," or "protectionism" or whatever you want to call it) and foreign imports at lower prices ("outsourcing", or "shipping jobs overseas" or however you decide to couch it)? They both have advantages and disadvantages, and (since policy WILL affect people's and companies' choices) it would behoove policy wonks to a) be honest about both and b) be very deliberate about which one they're supporting (or "supporting more") and why.

Thanks Captain Obvious. I knew this 30 years ago while sitting in living rooms in Berkeley. How about suggesting what we do about it?

==========
The obvious corollary to rule 1 is that "free speech as deplorables define it is not free speech at all, it is threatening, triggering hate speech".

In other words, the government defines what speech may be freely used and everything else is racist.

42 that Republicans were "immediately jumping to the conclusion"

When the Patriot Act was being debated the primary FNM talking point was that Shrub was going to immediately read everyone's library book list.

Seriously...the debate at the time was that the government should NEVER have the right to look into you personal info.

And...well...now the same people are saying that if you don't have anything to hide why do you care if the government spies on you?

Admittedly, the march toward STEM was not the only culprit - and I don't know that it was inherently a wrong choice.

I would argue a much bigger problem is compulsory schooling *along with* the Left's constant assault on the nuclear family. As (some) kids become more and more feral, the job of "teacher" becomes less one of instructing our youth and more one of playing prison guard.

This is especially true in more urban areas, but it seeps out into rural communities, too.

Of course, that's just another reason to home school, which is something I think should be the default position of all American families, even if it means a reduced total income (we live A LOT poorer than we would if my wife were generating an income).

I don't know what they can do immediately. Presumably there are allocation / spending bills coming up (since we *still* don't actually have a budget) and they *could* absolutely stop those cold. "Yes, you bet your ass we're shutting down the government until this Ministry of Truth is strangled in its cradle and the whole of DHS leadership is fired for even considering such a thing."

But the likelihood of them doing that is ... slim.

Once they reclaim power in the fall? I expect more of the same: they'll use the existence of MinTrue to fundraise and stump against, but do nothing to actually address the issue.

THE TOP THREE BENEFITS OF A SUPERVOLCANO

3) Senile Joe finally gets an excuse for the crap economy and horrible conditions that people will accept
2) Goofy shit like energy producing solar panels and windmills become useless almost overnight
1) We get to say I told you so to greentards and get to use coal burning power plants and nukes.

THE TOP THREE LIABILITIES OF A SUPERVOLCANO
3) We freeze in the dark since Senile Joe has crippled all the sources of energy production we could use during a supervolcano super cooling event.
2) Our Betters achieve their goals while they all gather together in some lavish hideyhole funded by your taxes as we freeze in the dark
1) Humanity dies off anyway cuz Our Betters lavish hideyhole is full of nothing but trannies, furries, old men, old women and pedophiles.

I attribute this to the rise of Dennis Hastert. The Dems torpedoed Newt G and Bob Livingstone over marital infidelities. Yes, seriously they had affairs with willing, adult women and that was enough.

That opened the role of Speaker to Hastert in 99. The left knew at the time he was a pedo (several leftwing reporters have come forward and said so). Yet...they kept it quite.

And from the moment the most powerful Republican in DC became a blackmail target for the left the R party stopped being an opposition party in any real sense.

149 hmm... I propose we keep it, and put Donald Trump Jr. in charge of it. He could immediately hire Any Ngo as his operational manager.

If Republicans were a) actually opposed to this tyranny and b) strategic thinkers, this is exactly what would happen the next time there was a Republican president: all offices of the Federal Government would be fully weaponized against Democrat/Progressive causes.

Constant IRS audits and investigations into groups like Antifa and BLM, but also AnyTown and Mom's Demand Action.

Every misstatement (even ones that are actually honest errors) in the WaPo, NYT, etc. blasted as "dangerous misinformation" with appropriate sanctions.

Facebook, IG, Google, etc. slammed for every statement the President does not approve of.

All with congressional Republicans "protesting" (that's important) and then saying, "You know, Democrats, there's one way to make sure no future Republican president can misuse this kind of power. How about we disband DHS?"

152 It's no surprise that the disinfo governance board popped up right after Musk took over Twitter. This has already been observed elsewhere and mentioned here when the takeover was ongoing. What this "board" does is give a very small appearance of legitimacy to government censorship that fills the void Twitter left when Musk bought it.

Under Democrat control it will evolve into a pure Ministry of Truth however, with full public censorship power and likely a paramilitary arm to do the real work.

Okay, ignore the Indian cook book, then.

Just imagine goat is a very tough slightly gamey piece of meat, no matter what part you use, so you want to cook it "wet" and "slow" - so braising/slow cooking in stews, curries (Indian or Carribbean), etc tends to be the best way to go.

How about a small piece of legislation that simply does away with all Federal law enforcement agencies (optional: "all executive agencies") since the Federal Government has no police powers in the Constitution?

Because the problems with outlawing "abuse" of the system are a) the definition of "abuse" can be too mushy and b) when the system investigates itself, it rarely finds any wrongdoing - unless it's politically convenient.

Imagine? I can predict that happening, just as I predicted masks would never go away (stay tuned for a national mandate this fall). And all the people who crow about how the left can't win because "we have all the guns" will suddenly have dozens of excuses as to why arresting a GOP candidate isn't the hill to die on.

Sorry. I can't be sanguine or hopeful or even quietly confident, like Sarah Hoyt or other bloggers.

Somehow, I always suspected that the Franco side had to be the good side, and finding out the Spanish Republicans were essentially communists only confirmed that suspicion. Reading up more on it this weekend, it's insane the parallels we are going through right now with what happened in pre-SCW Spain, from mislabeling opponents through a relentless propaganda campaign, orchestrated violence to pressure politicians into more elections so their preferred candidates could win, to outright election fraud when none of the above worked, but most of that got buried in the common historical timeline.

How about where federal agencies must abide with each State's laws? That way the individual transgressors can be prosecuted by the State's justice system.

A long time ago, I made an argument to sue police unions rather than the cities for police misconduct. I like Tom Servo's idea to attach pension benefits since the State judges can't effect a federal agent's employment state (other than jailing).

I can see States setting up their own departments within the State DOJ to specialize in these lawsuits, and like private firms, keeping a percentage of the proceeds.

The scheme will have to be tweaked a lot since it would soon be captured with bribes and threats similar to the strong-arming states with transportation funds to adopt strict drunk driving and speed limit laws.

You're fine, dear, and I have to admit that when I think of people who are happy working towards destruction of the West (as long as they have their wealthy fiefdom)and Judeo-Christian values, such as the folks in the World Economic Forum it's hard sometimes for me to pray that "God would change their hearts and they have a conversion experience" and I pray "May this thorn from our sides" I just have had some expereince with people to having prolonged death from cancer to wish that on anyone. It's a terrible experience for them when they're suffering and for their families. When I was at the doctors the other day there was a man there saying to the people who man the desk, "My wife Toni (I'm assuming his wife was in her 70's because he was )" is so much pain and had such an extended stomach that she looks like she's 7 months pregnant" that you have to do something for her now and get stuff with the surgery worked out." I felt so badly for he and his wife. As far as Chesa Boudin, if he had a good relationship with his mom he agonized with her suffering and mourns her death.

This was just a sound-out call, to see if I would be willing. Final details will be settled later on. Frankly, I'm more interested in establishing that 2-day red line. Knowing the company, a '2-3 days per week' thing would very shortly turn into a regular 3 days, and at that point I might as well come back full time.

Two days, no more. Cash negotiations can come later.

259 OT:

I finished all of the course work for a Master's Degree in Statistics about 12 years ago, but I never actually earned it because the department introduced a requirement to pass a qualifying exam in my last semester, which was not a requirement when I signed up. I was unavailable to actually take the exam because we moved away, and I've just let the issue linger for the past decade, making a decent living without the need for it.

Well, my dad knows several of my professors from the department (they're in the same field, my dad is kind of a big name in it), and in particular one that I TA'd for. He knows that one of my other professors had it out for my dad and took it out on me. He's gone now. According to my dad, all I have to do is reach out to this professor of mine that I TA'd for, and he'll work with me to find a way to get me my degree. It could just take a small project to prove that I retained something.

I'm reaching out to him this morning to see what happens. Fingers crossed!

It's about winning over the long term, and maintaining power that serves the people and their needs. It's about a return to the fundamental tenets of our Constitution and the social mores that have underwritten our societies rise to preeminence. That should be out driving force. Our battle cry.

My brother left Ford when they thought they had replaced an antiquated computer system he had worked with for 30 years. Of course, they needed him back when the new system didn't perform, so he went back as a contract worker at $98.50/hour. No benefits, vacation, or anything, just the cash. I thought that was way too low, but he was satisfied. Bend your old supervisor over the desk and have your way with him.

I do appreciate the Bible Verses Christians post, it is interesting to me how the modern 20th Century churches have sent out their flocks to be ONLY gentle as doves while forgetting amd dismissing the first part Christ said about being wise as serpents (and then gentle as doves)
I think about this a bunch lately in the early morning at 4am when I wake up. Its almost as if Christ is commanding to know the enemies' (all the anti christs) play books and history before sending His Flock out into the world.

Well, now we know how wrong we were-- they had comfortable margins to easily play Failure Theater then. But, they've lost that, their plants are exposed. And despite the media trying to rally the GOPe with stories of them winning: In January, Congress is going to have dozens of loud, proud, pro-Trump loyalists.

315 105 One of the most urgent tasks, not only for our movement but for our country, is to decisively defeat the climate hysteria hoax, Trump declared. Fearmongering about the climate is destroying Americas economy, weakening our society, and eviscerating the middle class, Trump argued. Its helping fuel runaway inflation.

Climate change is the evergreen McGuffin. Last couple years it was C19, and they have been keeping White Supremacy in the batter's box. I think that with the advancement of regular power outages and punitive energy pricing and scarcity, they know that they have worn out the Climate Change hustle, CRT is being pushed back, C19 is over and Putin Is The Devil meme is wearing thin too.

The current GOPe leadership pretty much just rose to the top. They won their first races, and then it became about playing inside baseball. They have no idea how to appeal to the masses.

Faced with an existential threat to their power in Trump, they just fall back on what they know. Mitch plays defense to ensure that he gets power next year, McCarthy waffles because he's a follower, not a leader, and all of their preferred candidates are machine pols, good at playing inside baseball but bad at everything else.

It's not just Democrats who have a machine politician problem.

361 One thing for sure.

362 Ukraine Now Admits "The Ghost of Kyiv" Never Really Existed

******

The funniest part of this was that the Ukrainian Defense Ministry (or whoever) posted this on their Facebook page. Clown world indeed.

366 I thought the ghost of kiiiiiv was an obvious lie 2 months ago. People still believed that shit? Lol. Better take those Ukistan Flags down now right?

Speaking of which I am seeing a ton of window stickers on cars now with the Ukistan flag. And I live in a very conservative area. The rot has spread beyond political lines.

367 Trump is absolutely right about attacking the climate hoaxers. "There is no climate crisis" should be the GOP's mantra across the board.

Everyone knows by now how the left operates. Accepting the bogus premises of AGW now can only lead to continuing disaster and ultimate defeat.

Communists co-opted the anarchist label years ago. Maybe you should tone down your vitriol and try to learn something.

373 Thanks, J.J.

Scandinavian countries always top the Happiest Countries lists. I think it's because the people are Conditioned to be afraid to give any answer indicating discontent. They're not happy. They're beaten.

376 What if Elon Musk owning twitter isn’t the real issue at hand? What if the point of his acquisition is just a deflection of attention, and the new boss will be same as the old boss, but even less accountable?
