The Morning Report - 5/9/22

Good morning, kids. Monday and as the saying goes, "Projection ain't just a river in Egypt." I give you this headline from Friday:

CNN Warns of "Far Right" Violence After Roe v. Wade Leak

Yes, that makes perfect sense, doesn't it? Seemingly score one of the most crucial political and societal victories, via one of the most significant decisions ever handed down by the Supreme Court -- and burn it down as a way to celebrate? Well, "THIS is CNN" after all, and I guess they look at it like Detroit after the Pistons win an NBA championship, or something. Meh, they just lie. THAT is CNN," and it's not even clever. It's so massive and obvious a lie as to be laughable, and yet there is still a sizable segment of the populace that gets its news from them and swallows it like a Hebrew National going down Kamala's gullet.

Despite threats of violence from this Ruth Sent Us pseudo-terrorist group in the wake of the justices' addresses being doxxed, and actual reports of vandalism at Catholic churches in the Denver area, while at the same time everyone from Biden to Obama to Fauxca-hontas Warren and others have openly called for sustained protest and public coercion, a pro-life organization's offices in Madison, WI were firebombed over the weekend with a message spray-painted on a wall:

"If abortions aren't safe, then you aren't either."

Yup. Sounds exactly like Tony Perkins and Phyllis Schlafly.

The attack on Wisconsin Family Action, located in Madison, came a week after an early draft of a United States Supreme Court majority opinion leaked last week that indicated the controversial Roe v. Wade decision would likely be struck down.
No one from the organization was in the building at the time of the attack, which included a Molotov cocktail that was thrown through a window and failed to ignite. Whoever was behind the attack set another fire nearby that burned part of a wall. . .
. . . Julaine Appling, president of the organization, said that the attack was “a direct threat against us.”“Imagine if somebody had been in the office when this happened,” she said. “They would have been hurt.

Oh, come now! This was obviously a reverse Jussie Smollett, as the crack reporters of CNN will say (emphasis on "crack"). Very clever these "reich-wing" Nazi "white supremacists." Might have gone a bit overboard with the Molotov cocktails but no doubt, they gave advance warning. Just like there were no Jooz at the World Trade Center! (SARCASTIC). Sheesh.

I wrote on Friday that despite everything the Left has done, going on 60 years if not longer, to fundamentally ~~transform~~ disfigure America into a Godless socialist dictatorship, the potential for overturning a talisman proving its success has got to be a shock to the system greater than the elections of Reagan and Trump. We're still here and we're still a majority. The question remains, are we a force to be reckoned with?

Prime lurker Victor Davis Hanson:

Despite the 15-month catastrophe of his regime, the level of his own unpopularity remains understandable but still remarkable. After all, in 2020 voters already knew well of his cognitive deficits and the radicalism of his agenda. They saw both clearly starting in 2019 and during the 2020 Democratic primaries, the primary debates, and the general election.
So what did Biden’s voters imagine would happen when a cognitively challenged president, controlled by hard-Left subordinates, entered office—other than what he has done? . . .
. . . Americans feel there is no remedy for this downward spiral until November. To get a sense of their dilemma, imagine a Richard Nixon in 1973 caught lying during Watergate but with Spiro Agnew waiting in the wings without a trace of scandal—except with one difference: the current media is now attacking not the president’s shortcomings, but the [so-called quote-unquote] president’s critics who point them out. . .
. . . Most of the country has awakened to the fact that the Trump-Russia collusion story was essentially a Hillary Clinton campaign effort to destroy a political opponent, a presidential transition, and a presidency. And they know Clinton will never be indicted for her conspiracies and racketeering even if her minions rat her out to seek reduced charges for themselves.
That hoax was followed by an impeachment vote over a phone call based on two more lies: 1) the Biden family was neither corrupt nor used Joe Biden’s office as vice president and his future political career to leverage payments from Ukraine, and 2) Donald Trump canceled military aid to Ukraine rather than sent them critical Javelin anti-tank missiles put on hold by the Obama Administration.
Americans know Google, Facebook, and Twitter censors were all enlisted in the effort to destroy a former president and his outspoken supporters. And they know there is no real remedy unless two or three more enlightened billionaires follow Elon Musk’s lead.
If Roe v. Wade were to be repealed, many Americans in red states will remain appalled that some blue states will allow abortions, especially late-term abortions after 22 weeks. But nearly all will accept the rule of constitutional democracy and thus the states’ rights to make their own laws that do not conflict with federal legislation as passed by Congress and signed by the president.
These red-state citizens know the opposite is certainly not true: blue state officials will do all they can to attack those who disagree with them, who consider abortion the destruction of human life in the womb. Expect more California-style official travel bans.

Aside from not recognizing the "buffoonish riot" as he describes it as the premeditated DOJ/FBI Reichstag Fire entrapment scam that it actually was, Dr. Hanson has in this essay laid out what is for all intents and purposes an indictment of and, for me, a declaration of war against the Left. At the same time, it's also a requiem for our society. Even if we win everything back this November and in '24, how do we restore the nation as founded or at least some semblance of a fig leaf of an illusion of a pipe dream of political "civility" when this Enemy within will continue to do all it can to annihilate us, politically and quite probably physically? What cannot go on, will not go on. And this cannot go on. It really is us or them.

But that said, despite all of the forces arrayed against us, I do believe in my heart of hearts that we will prevail. A great backlash is coming. We know it and they know it. Hence, "Disinformation Governance Boards," J-6 committees and prosecutions, and overt acts of political intimidation and terrorism in the form of mostly peaceful riots and now mostly peaceful attacks on churches and SCOTUS justices.

And if that doesn't get us, Russian nukes in Ukraine or even here at home just might. Friend and friend of the blog Michael Walsh:

America is now flirting with disaster as it engages with a wounded, nuclear-armed bear that won't hesitate to use theater or tactical nukes if it feels an existential threat. And why wouldn't it? It's seen this movie before. Even Jill Biden is currently kicking sand in Putin's face. Meanwhile, here at home, the U.S. is cratering almost as surely as the Soviet Union, riven by irreconcilable domestic moral and political differences; all of its principal constitutional edifices under attack by the Left, including the Supreme Court; the economy circling the drain; the supply chain thoroughly disrupted by an outrageous medical alarum bordering on a malignant hoax; our woke military emasculated; and our civic faith in almost every institution destroyed. Meanwhile, a gerontological elite that rivals in its longevity the Struldbruggs in Swift's Gulliver's Travels continues to heedlessly shuffle its way toward disaster.
So what will it take to bring America to either its senses or its knees? What does victory look like in this pointless war? In 1945 Soviet soldiers waved the hammer and sickle over the ruins of Berlin. In 1989, I stood at the crumbling Wall between the Brandenburg Gate and the Reichstag, and somehow wound up with some Grepo's cap as a souvenir. Luckily, the Cold War never quite turned hot. But if this war -- Biden's War -- goes nuclear, what will be left to grasp? A handful of radioactive dust? Pray that somebody in Washington comes to his senses, and soon -- but don't count on it.

Go jump in a lake, VDH (and all you conservative "intellectuals"). I'm so sick of this analogizing moral equivalence, as if we must always concede some conspicuous flaw of Trump as a precondition to a critique of Biden. There is NOTHING comparable -- in type or degree -- to these two men and their conduct in office. The essence of everything Trump said or did was limned in truth and love for country; the essence of everything Biden says or does is shot through with vicious lies and malice for America.

27 “'Conservatives' are deluding themselves if they think abortion will fade away while a libertinism they refuse to challenge persists."

This is true. But if Conservatives/Pro-Lifers (the Venn Diagram is not, in fact, a circle) are willing - at least now we can have a conversation (assuming nothing changes before the final decision is revealed).

Since Roe v Wade the only fiddling that was allowed was around the edges. Eventually some Republican states found some innovative ways to enact full bans (or nearly full bans), but, by and large, the question of "can you kill your baby" was settled in favor of Moloch, so there was no reason to talk.

Now that "Complete ban" is back on the table (theoretically) there *is* a reason to talk. There is a reason to find a compromise that really addresses their "but what about...?" cases - instead of merely using them as a shield.

They won't talk, of course, but that's on them.

Trump said the sun rises in the East, and he was called a liar because it actually rises a little bit north or south of east depending on where you are. Biden says the sun rises in the west and they say "mostly true". That's the core of it all.

30 The out of stock rate for baby formula skyrocketed to a whopping 31% last month, which is 11% higher than it was last November. Even Bidens pals at CNN had to report that seven states were dealing with out of stock rates as high as 50%.

Number 1 cause of this is ORC (organized Retail Crime) that is a big business ($47 B annually). It uses professional thieves to rob chains and then the product is resold at bodegas and off brand stores.
So store now do just in time. They do not keep a weeks worth in the shelf. They keep a days worth or two.

Over the weekend, I saw a DM story with Prince William, the one that isn't hated like his brother. He was giving a speech on climate change, global warming BS. Like his father, he appears to be all aboard that train. Might I add, while living like a king and using 30x the energy of everyone else. I find it interesting, however, that he got 100% slammed in the comments for being a hypocrite, and for supporting this phony "cause" that isn't what it seems. Going by comments there, it strikes me that most people lean way, way more right than what the globalists have in mind for them (and us). Zealots aside, nobody is buying this climate change nonsense.

True. But that's a smaller and smaller sample size every day anyway.

It might help their cause (not that I want to help them) if they'd show a little humility and adhere to actual scientific community norms (or, at least, what used to be the norm) by showing their actual data, describing methodologies, and admitting that NONE of their models work.

But, no, they're the "Experts" and having to explain themselves to non-experts is demeaning and we should all just "trust them."

141 I got back from the CT GOP state convention on Saturday evening. It was disappointing and enlightening at the same time. On the disappointing side, the delegation voted to endorse a RINO-ish centrist to face off against Blumenthal in November. The good news is that the more conservative candidates made the ballot, and there will be a primary battle to see who finally gets to face Blumenthal.

The better news is that there is a significant movement within the party to reform it, and purge the RINOs from leadership. It will take time, but I spoke with lots of people in CT who are solid Trump supporters, and are tired of the same old same old GOP. I saw this in the Greenwich (!) delegation especially.

I was ready to bail on the GOP if I didn't see a change. It's not quite here yet, but it's coming.

=========

The change of the party has to come from the ground up. The Tea Party tried, but it was too diffuse and borderline incoherent about what it even meant, much less what it wanted in terms of specific policy. What it needed was a centralizing force of some kind to help drive it towards directed action and specific goals.

Trump has become that centralizing force. He represents a certain set of specific policy goals (mostly around regulation, immigration, and, now, voting integrity) that acts as an effective shorthand that differentiates those who want the old ways and those that want a new way.

Sure. Mom says, if you're not going, don't run it through the bookie (no moral reason, she didn't like the guy). I didn't go, I booked it, and Ferdinand came in at 54 to 1. Bookies pay 36 to 1 tops. It was expensive. Mom had laid $100 to win.

219 "I truly fear for the retired.

We're looking at nationwide homeless and starving retirees if this continues.
"

I had posted this yesterday, but it still fits here. On Friday Mrs VIA and I were listening to a clip of Ginger Goebbles talking about the great job report for april, with all the folk finding employment. An I had mentioned to my wife the supposition on my part that a not small percentage of those hires were actually retirees who are forced by inflation to return to the work place. Anyhow, to make a long story short, based on the bureau of labor's own numbers, approximately 1.5 MILLION individuals who were retired in 2021 have returned to the workforce sin the first four months of 2022.
So when we hear of these great job numbers, it's not all just 18-55 year olds once again being employed. It's 72 year olds no longer being able to survive on their retirement income going back to work.

My sister is a lifelong Dem. She told me in June of that year that Joey would be the nominee AND that he would win. The FNM had told her so. Furthermore, she was totally unaware of his behavior with children and had no clue about Hunter's laptop. The media had built a fence around Biden that protected him against any knowledge of the real man. You have no idea how ignorat Dems are and the media are hell-bent to keep it that way.

Yep.

And what frustrates me about the whole thing is that Government always makes it so much worse. The boom and bust cycle is all but part of human nature, but the "bust" period (left on its own) usually lasts anywhere from less than a year to about a year and small change, and then we go back to "boom."

But when the government "helps" (see also: Great Depression, The, and Obama's "Recovery") the bust is always longer (usually no less than 18 months, I think is what I've seen) and the "boom" is always less.

All the government really has to do is enforce actual laws against fraud and such, and then leave things alone. At this point, we have so much evidence for this that (again) I can no longer credit stupidity instead of malice.

"But behind the popular furor is a sense of impotence in the face of the untruth they are assaulted with day after day. In other words, bullied Americans are angry that people who control the nation’s institutions deliberately mislead them and do so because they hate them.

Let us hope that they channel this historic exasperation in November in a manner we have never seen before in the modern era."

The anger will not be assuaged, no matter how much he/we hope. The public is furious, professor, because it knows a massive "win" this November will change absolutely nothing. "A choice, not an echo"? We don't even get an echo any longer.

Knowing my grandchildren will grow up into a world that respects freedom of the individual and values so highly the societal conditions that make liberty possible.

I seriously doubt that any of the five, especially Kavanaugh, had any doubt about what the left's reaction to the news would be, and yet they all managed to sign onto it. Hell, imagine the conferences with Sotomayor. She probably threw spittle all over the place, and I wouldn't put it past her to directly threaten the five (she's dumb, in case you don't know my opinion of her).

I think they knew what they were getting into with both eyes open. With that in mind, I think the threats can only strengthen their resolve.

I just watched 2000 Mules last night. It was good, but many articles have already shown the highlights. It basically was a Salem Media cross promotion stunt. In some ways its really impressive.

That may be the critical miscalculation of the Left. With the stolen election, the justices could kind of shrug it off and say, "Well, better luck next time."

With this, there is an absolute moral component to abortion that is a very bright line in the sand for countless people. Perhaps the justices decided that THIS was the hill on which they may die...(and if the Left had their way, they would die, screaming).

=========

COVID was a once in a lifetime narrative. It's never going to be repeated ever again.

There will be many more panics and scares in the future. The media is in the business of FEAR and OBEY, but no war, weather event, or sneeze is ever going to come close to matching COVID. In fact, the government's over-response to COVID has probably hardened the right from ever following the government institutions' orders when it comes to modifying their lives in general, especially when it comes to manufactured crises in particular.

They don't seem to contact law enforcement.

I don't think so. The Constitution isn't super specific on the process but technically they shouldn't have been able to vote on KBJ until Breyer retired. But...they voted for her for that seat.

If another justice died/retired I think they'd have to restart the process for a new judge.

But...the Biden junta doesn't give a shit about process and tradition. If someone assassinates a judge now the junta will move quickly to take advantage in whatever we they think serves them best.

Just also remember that all, and I mean ALL, price increases due to this inflation are permanent barring an economic collapse.

483 468 COVID was just training (conditioning) us for the next one. At least I think that was the original intent. Have the big scare, get rid of the orange man, go back to normal. We are all conditioned to obey and lock down. It worked! Except China released Covid part deux in the form of Delta to retaliate against India. Then it prolonged the nightmare so long, people realized that none of it worked and are just tired of pandemics.

========

Leftist governors also refused to give up power, making that which had started as health related fully turn into something political. Once it became political, it opened up opportunities for the other side to counter.

If the left had been dedicated to the limits of their con, getting rid of Trump and then releasing power, it might have worked with a far greater portion of the population. The combination of Delta, Democratic establishment intransigence on giving up power, and their own cultists' broken brains, and they could never walk away with the total victory they could have had. It's just not in their constitution.

=========

I would argue that the first few weeks were not. The panic around covid became too universally embraced by too many people on both sides of the aisle. There was unity in the desire to stamp out an unknown disease of unknown effect.

Once the effects began to become known is when the actual response became political. It was early (Diamond Princess early), but for a time, there seemed to be little to no politics in the public discourse.

502 The liberal movement is like a spoiled child. It had maybe 50 years of inadequate feedback or pushback, and now is rotten and unable to understand the world.

If a DC attorney went after Hillary at the level of corruption (here's how disreputable countries made a lot of money on favorable state dept decisions, after paying Bill or Hill 50K for a speech), rather than the clue email, she'd wonder why the rules changed suddenly.

I don't spend a lot of time looking at Meghan McCain's photos but in the ones I've seen she looks well dressed and nicely made up.

504 Presidente-for-Life Obama has gone from scolding Justices at SOTU to sending his street mobs over to their homes.

It turns out, when the Court ruled that Honest Elections were dispensable, it didn’t appease the Syndicate, it only encouraged them.

CNN says the danger to the Court which necessitated the barricades isn’t from left-wing mobs. It’s from right-wingers planning to attack those mobs.

I’d call bullshit–except CNN may be test-driving the next Agit-Prop of the Occupation Government. Pelosi and Wray may well be planning another False Flag-Reichscourt Riot for the Concertina Government.

I see this as lose-lose for the Government. If Twitter is a monopoly, it's been that way for a quite a while and the Fed PURPOSEFULLY ignored that fact, so it needs to be broken up into a bunch of mini-Twitters (now look at Alphabet and Facebook).

If Twitter is NOT a monopoly, then they wasted time looking into things, proving that they are targetting Musk.

Either way, the Gov't looks bad and partisan (which it is).

Hi there Johnny Ray/Kurt:

Whatever violence over the years that might have been perpetrated against abortion clinics was never done at the behest and or encouragement of government and politicians at the highest level. It has always been condemned forcefully by myself and others.

Unlike this one. Keep sucking those dicks, lady
