The Morning Report

The Morning Report - 6/7/22

Good morning, kids. Tuesday and on the one hand, we have two stories in the Health section regarding a couple of seemingly, tantalizingly, miracle cancer drugs. On the other hand, given the state of our nation and the world, I ask myself if I really want to live long enough to see where the hell we're headed? Even if the world doesn't go out in a blaze Chi-Com mushroom clouds or the rusty hacksaws of Religion of Peace Inc.'s head-choppers and clit-clippers, they'll give me 10 extra years but I'll run out of money after two, at the current rate of stagflation.

Despite the impending decision that trashes Roe coming perhaps by the end of this week, and the CDC (Center for Democrat Control) now calling for all of us to mask up (déjà vu) because of monkey pox, a disease primarily spread by unprotected homosexual sex (déjà vu vu), even staunch propaganda organ CNN is openly declaring the Dems are going to get wiped out this coming November.

I suppose it plays off as a counterpoint to my observations about the cancer treatments, but perhaps America needed to be brought to the brink in order for people to finally wake up and understand that what's going on is fundamentally not right. Even someone like Cardi B, who isn't exactly a Mensa candidate defended Tucker Carlson a few months ago and yesterday came out and demanded Biden (whom she campaigned for) admit the economy is in the shitter. And then there are folks like Glenn Greenwald, Matt Taibbi and even to a certain extent Bill Maher getting on the right side of at least one issue, and it is perhaps the central pillar of our nation and society: freedom of expression.

Are any or all of them going to suddenly transform into Constitutional conservatives? Well, considering we are for sure in a post-constitutional nation that question becomes moot. Maybe that's a good thing because it liberates us from being shackled to words like "liberal" and "conservative" and could lead us to the common ground found in the word "sanity." That roundabout spiel brings us to someone whose bona fides as liberal and even leftist are well known; Naomi Wolf. More and more, she is sounding about as sane as you can get, regardless of your political pedigree.

I wrote this essay some weeks ago, but I kept waiting to publish it til tragic mass shootings were no longer in the news. But that day looks as if it will never come, so I am publishing it anyway, with grief and mourning for those lost to gun violence, as we must nonetheless have this difficult conversation.
The last thing keeping us free in America, as the lights go off all over Europe- and Australia, and Canada - is, yes, we must face this fact, the Second Amendment.
I can’t believe I am writing those words. But here we are and I stand by them. . .
. . . Why do I raise this all of this?
In part because — I have evolved my view about firearms, and I understand that doing so is in fact in alignment with the Constitution. And the thing about really supporting the Constitution is that you do not get to pick and choose. I can’t choose my favorite Amendment, the easy one, the First Amendment, and then shy away from the glass-clear directive of the Second Amendment, simply as a result of my own cultural discomfort. You have to stand up for it all, if you are to call yourself a supporter of the Constitution. . .
. . . I am also re-examining my reflexes about the Second Amendment because I believe that we are at a moment that our Founders, in their nearly-Prophetic wisdom, knew might come to pass. We are at the kind of moment for which the Second Amendment may have been written in just the clear, unequivocal way that it was.
You know that I see tyranny descending all around the formerly free nations of the world. I say these days that the coup in America has already taken place — a stealthy, sneaky coup, mounted without a shot being fired.
[So-called quote-unquote "president"] Biden extended Emergency Powers in February 2022 due to [Chinese] COVID. A few days ago, he extended emergency powers again — I didn’t see this massive news covered anywhere — but this time, bizarrely, with [Chinese] COVID in retreat, he extended emergency powers due to the challenges posed by the stabilization of Iraq.
At which we must ask: who writes his material? But under emergency law we remain.
States around the country, such as New York State, where I write, are still under continually-renewed emergency laws. New York’s Governor Kathy Hochul extends emergency law month after month. . .
. . . The democratic protections of the formerly free nations of the world — Canada, the Republic of Ireland, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand — have been shut down with the ease of someone switching off a light, and with almost no resistance from citizens. Yes, there have been protests, and there have been petitions, and innumerable complaints online; and a few brave legislators have spoken up, if only to echoing chambers.
But the fact remains that when the unidentifiable police or mercenary forces, as in Canada, are violent, and the protesters have nothing but the moral high ground with which to deter their violence, then even the bravest of resistances is fleeting. . .
. . . You can hate guns. I have hated guns most of my life. I hate violence. I hate gun violence. I hate the slaughter of innocents. I am a peaceful person.
But it is becoming obvious even to us pacifists, vegans, and tree huggers, that formerly free people who are unarmed are defenseless against the criminal tyrannies exerting massive violence and control upon them.
And it is becoming obvious that similar tyrannical moves against the people of the United States have been thwarted in advance or deterred - and only state by state — pretty much only because the people of the United States have the right to own and carry weapons, and because many do so.

Boom.

Read the whole thing and bookmark it, because IMHO it is probably one of the most important essays to come along since Angelo Codevilla's that identified the ruling class, and it is delivered by someone who as even she herself admits is the last person you would ever expect to give both a full-throated defense of the Constitution in its entirety and as a clarion call and warning about the clear existential threat to our freedom that we are now facing.

Friend and friend of the blog Michael Walsh has bemoaned the fact that we constantly step on our dicks in picking who our allies are. We dismiss Naomi Wolf, and indeed Maher, Greenwald, Taibbi and even someone like Cardi B or Kanye West to our detriment. We'll never agree with them on some particular things, or even the vast majority of issues, but when the chips are down, and brother they are down right now, the more voices we have with us in the trenches the greater our chances of living through this madness.

Bravo Dr. Wolf.

30 Friend and friend of the blog Michael Walsh has bemoaned the fact that we constantly step on our dicks in picking who our allies are. We dismiss Naomi Wolf, and indeed Maher, Greenwald, Taibbi and even someone like Cardi B or Kanye West to our detriment. We'll never agree with them on some particular things but when the chips are down, and brother they are down right now, the more voices we have with us in the trenches the greater our chances of living through this madness.

Greenwald, at least, is a consistent, sane truth-teller. I 'dismiss' the "welcome to the party, pal!" assholes like Cardi B, Maher, West and Wolf because they were laughing, dismissive, prejudiced elitist nickelfuckers until the careening 18-wheeler of cancel culture, pedophilia, economic crash and tyranny was suddenly on the verge of mowing them down, and not just the Jeebus-humping, flaggot, gun-stroking Trumpkin rubes.

They are in no sense our allies. They are using us to hide behind in order to escape the world they themselves created. Fuck them all.

43 A comment left on the Wolfe essay:
The Nazi Party was socialist in name only, just as Democrats are not really democratic and Republicans don't really believe in a Republic. The Nazis were fascists. the exact opposite of socialists. Socialism means support of ordinary working people. It means democracy in the workplace. It means prosperity for everyone not just the elite. It means a strong safety net. Capitalism is predatory. In capitalism the big fish eat the little fish. Capitalism creates billionaires and poverty - little in-between. Capitalism was originally a good thing, but it has evolved into finance capitalism, which is evil and self-destructive. It makes money by parasitism (skimming off other people's money with rent, fees, penalties, etc. ) Socialism in China lifted 850 million people out of poverty in my lifetime. Economic development in China, especially since 1978 has been - by far - the fastest growing economy the world has ever seen. China has ended homelessness; they have built a strong middle class. They are the future, while America is a dying empire where half the country is living at or near poverty.

And the rescue league about 3 hours drive away with another kitten I like does not mention muzzles, but says, "If you rent, we must be able to contact your landlord."

WTF? My place requires a pet deposit, which I have never paid in the 20 years I've lived there. I don't want them suddenly dunning me for that because a shelter called them. Maybe I can just lie and say I have a condo? But I resent the idea that, after driving 3 hours in order to give a cat a good home, I have to be interrogated.

60 That piece by Wolf was the 2nd good thing I've seen her do in the last couple weeks. Equally good and perhaps better is the interview she did with Jesse Kelly the other day regarding Pfizer, the FDA and the China virus.

If you remember Pfizer tried to hide their research and testing on their vaccine from the public for 75 years. A federal judge told them to GF and turn it all over. There are 10s of thousands of pages of documents and Wolf has been taking the lead in having them reviewed and broken down by thousands of medical and scientific researchers on a volunteer basis. What they are showing is beyond disturbing.

We have all suspected the vaccines are useless. They are much worse than useless and Pfizer and the FDA have been lying from day 1.

This is 13 minutes well spent.

It seems to me those "powers" could be revoked, but aren't, which suggests (to me) their might need to be a more comprehensive purging of the political class than I first thought.

96 Saint of the Day
Bl. Anne of St. Bartholomew (1549--1626) was born in Spain, one of seven children. Her parents died when the plague swept through Spain, leaving her an orphan at the age of ten. She then became a shepherdess tending her brother's sheep. From a young age she was graced with many visions. In one of them the Blessed Virgin Mary told her she would become a nun. When she tried to enter the monastery she was turned away for being too young. Years later, when her family tried to arrange her marriage, she finally entered the Carmelite monastery at the age of 21, the same one in which St. Teresa of Avila lived. St. Teresa chose Anne as her personal secretary, even though she had to teach Anne how to write. It was in Anne's arms that St. Teresa died in 1582. After Teresa's death, Anne assisted in the foundation of several other monasteries in France, becoming prioress at three of them. She went on to found a monastery in the Netherlands where she remained until her death. After her death over 150 approved miracles (and many more that have not been officially approved) were attributed to her intercession. Her feast day is June 7th.

New information has come to light! Lorenz, who recently joined the Washington Post to do Chinese spyware advocacy and cultivate her personal brand, revealed on Twitter that she is 43 years old. The stunning announcement has called into question the results of our previous investigation, which determined that Lorenz was born Oct. 21, 1984, and is therefore 37½ years old.

It would also mean that Lorenz was at least 41 years old when Fortune magazine named her to its "40 Under 40" list in September 2020. Her recently updated Wikipedia page now states that Lorenz was "born c. 1978–1987." The Washington Free Beacon will not rest until we find the (long-form) birth certificate. Stay tuned!

103 This quote from the Wolf piece is the key point:

"You know that I see tyranny descending all around the formerly free nations of the world. I say these days that the coup in America has already taken place — a stealthy, sneaky coup, mounted without a shot being fired."

The continual expansion of emergency powers, with "emergencies" that never seem to dissipate, has been a thing since at least 9/11 if not The Great Depression/World War II. The coup, which actually was a revolutionary power grab, took place because for the most part Americans liked the result, at least initially. As the descent into totalitarianism speeds up, folks are having second thoughts but the truth is there likely is no turning back until the collapse is complete.

104 Good point. I get the cynicism about people like Wolf, who only woke up when it effected them, but how many on our side went along with W while he was leading the United States into rank totalitarianism? Censorship, political prisoners and fascistic wars for profit tend to focus minds, including our own.
Posted by: Trump poisoned my cat at June 07, 2022 07:59 AM (nMx8

And isn’t it true for many, including myself, that we took liberty for granted. Wolf is returning to first principles and I welcome her in her journey. She possesses a good mind, a philosophers soul and the humility to share her transformation.

Lost in the rigging of the presidential race in 2020 is the fact that Democrats lost in an a not insignificant way in the House during that same election cycle. Forgetting that is almost virtually impossible for a second it also shows that Democrats weren't all that excited during that election cycle with where the party was headed.

There are a good many old time Democrats who aren't down with the communist drift of the party and never have been. They might not be hard core conservatives but they aren't brain dead communists either.

135 That Naomi Wolf piece is powerful precisely because she's still not actually on board with the 2nd Amendment. She still thinks a wait for a permit and "background checks" (as though a background check has ever stopped a crime) are "as it should be."

But that just makes the end of her piece: the realization that the only way to resist tyranny is with modern firearms - semi-automatic is the rock bottom, there - and that, as horrific as the death of any innocent is, disarming would only lead to worse - that realization is all the more powerful because she's still on the side of "common-sense laws."

I'll argue with her over particulars, but that article needs to be spread far and wide.

If the GOP were the same GOP of 2012, I'd be much less sanguine about our future. However, it's not the same GOP.

GOP leadership in Congress is still tied to 2003 mentalities, but they're not the only game in town. Trump changed everything about the party in 2016. If the GOP Congress wants to quietly assume power in 2022 with no mandate, that's fine. I don't want the mandate that they want. The lack of narrative from it just opens the doors for someone else within the party to define the party in 2024.

The 118th Congress will do nothing. The biggest story will be how they passed so little legislation. And then Trump will walk to the nomination and form the platform. I'm fine with that.

Prokofiev has done some very nice pieces, but my problem with him is that he's extremely self-referential. Themes and phrases pop up commonly throughout his work. Listen to "Peter and the Wolf" and then listen to "Romeo and Juliet" for a good example of this (or vice-versa).

Personnel is policy, and any Democrat will have to choose from the same talent pool to staff departments.

Ironically, it might have been the GOP's insistence on not working in the Trump administration that helped lead to his executive level successes like deregulation. The grifters denied themselves spots of power in such large numbers that Trump had to find people outside of the power structure.

Of course we can. But some things must happen first or it will never happen. The country must get back to learning the true nature of our freedom and liberty and our founding. Why it was constructed and built the way it was. How prosperity soared in America because of it. The education system must be totally dismantled and every Marxist removed from every level of learning. Next, the Democrats must be recognized by the vast majority of America for what they really are: socialists/soft communists/totalitarians on every measure. And the true story of that ideology the world over must be taught. The truth must be told. The Unbrainwashening. Only then can we begin to rebuild what was once the greatest, most prosperous gift to mankind any nation ever brought.

San Francisco Mayor London Breed has budgeted $35,000 in her two-year budget proposal to launch a drag laureate position for the city.

Exact details on the selection process, responsibilities of the drag laureate, and the duration of their reign are still to be worked out. But the position is being modeled after the city's poet laureates, who have served between two to four years in the position.

In the last mostly free/fair election they had in Ukraine the western parts voted for the candidate that wanted closer ties with Europe and the Eastern parts for the candidate that wanted to balance Europe and Russia.

He will consume what civilization has slowly produced after generations of selection and effort, but he will not be at pains to replace such goods, nor indeed has he a comprehension of the virtue that has brought them into being. Discipline seems to him irrational, on which account he is ever marvelling that civilization, should have offended him with priests and soldiers.... In a word, the Barbarian is discoverable everywhere in this, that he cannot make: that he can befog and destroy but that he cannot sustain; and of every Barbarian in the decline or peril of every civilization exactly that has been true.

"We sit by and watch the barbarian. We tolerate him in the long stretches of peace, we are not afraid.

That's one hell of a redpill. Maher's commentary too, for that matter. Eyes and ears are opening to the current attempt at full scale tyranny.

AOC took that literally. Leguizamo's main thesis is that ALL Latin people are also indigenous. And then he ties up Latin History with the history of ALL American Indians. So the Trail of Tears happened to ALL Latins.

This is truly Latin History for Morons.

And if you review the elites in central America they have a lot more Iberian ancestors then Indians.

I was being facetious.

Whatever the Russians are, they aren't communist and Putin's goal, I believe, is to unite all ethnic Russians into one state. Bigger than current Russia but less than the USSR.

He has stated repeatedly, publicly, that the corruption of the West is poison and that TPTB are trying to kill whites. While he doesn't care about whites, generally, he is a Russian ethnic nationalist.

You know, the US government does not categorize them that way. Well depending on the agency. Some say you are Hispanic if you have a Hispanic surname (which is circular). Some say are Hispanic if you identify as Hispanic.

Thing about Hispanics is that Spain is in, umm, EUROPE. Which makes Hispanics European. It's really kind of a mess, actually. Many Hispanics ARE partly indigenous. the lovely and gracious sra blaster has about 20% South American Indian heritage. But it is not true that all Hispanics are partly indigenous. AOC's parents are Puerto Rican and most (60%) but not all Puerto Ricans have either indigenous or African heritage. So she might. But pace Leguizamo the culture is not indigenous it is European.

If you recall, a number of nations observers went to Ukraine to observe the fairness of an election in 2014 and Russia invaded just prior to the election.
Why? Because Russia could not arrange to steal that election with so many international observers, so instead they invaded.

The Maidan revolution in Ukraine happened in 2014 just prior to Putin's invasion. That was the catalyst.

And it wasn't a revolution in the traditional sense, it was a color revolution that the west helped run.

When government has become so unmoored from constitution, law, basic human or civil rights and respect for liberty, it takes us to a very dark place. It's why they want you unarmed and unable to defend yourself. These aren't paranoid rantings, they are demonstrably the material actions of Democrats.

============
They will not do squat. The Junta's 'plan' is to keep stalling, while saying reducing inflation is Joe's Number One Priority, and doing nothing substantive. The Junta knows gas and food prices will eventually peak, and eventually those prices will become the new normal and the news stories will stop. Meanwhile, the Democrat-Media Complex will be tossing squirrels out in front of us every chance they get, with increasing frequency as November approaches.

Pure evil. The Junta will not change course until forced to do so, and I do not know what that force can be short of sending the Junta packing in January 2025.

369 361 They will not do squat. The Junta's 'plan' is to keep stalling, while saying reducing inflation is Joe's Number One Priority, and doing nothing substantive. The Junta knows gas and food prices will eventually peak, and eventually those prices will become the new normal and the news stories will stop. Meanwhile, the Democrat-Media Complex will be tossing squirrels out in front of us every chance they get, with increasing frequency as November approaches.

Pure evil. The Junta will not change course until forced to do so, and I do not know what that force can be short of sending the Junta packing in January 2025.

It's targeted vote buying and will need to be reauthorized in the future, which they will try to do by burying it in the budget. Which they will do because the GOP are part of the scheme and think we have endless taxpayers funds to subsidize other peoples bills.

439 Goldsmith did the score for ST Voyager that I think is the best of the themes (after Courage). Also a shoutout for Hans Zimmer (Muppet Treasure Island and other stuff) and Kurt Heinecke (VeggieTales).

If a theme is good enough for me to look it up, it really must be something.

ps - Goldsmith also did theme for Barnaby Jones. I looked it up.

It gets worse. The entire electric grid would have to be replaced to charge them, costing more than our annual GDP, but don't worry - there is only enough lithium on the planet to build about 15% of the vehicles needed to replace ICE.

I’m looking behind us now, across the count of time, down the long haul into history back. I sees the end what were the start. It’s Pox-Eclipse, full of pain! And out of it were birthed crackling dust and fearsome time. It were full-on winter, and Mr. Dead chasing them all. But one he couldn’t catch, that were Captain Walker. He gathers up a gang, takes to the air and flies the sky! So they left their homes, said bidey-bye to the high-scrapers and what were left of the knowing they left behind. Some say the wind just stoppered. Others reckon it were a gang called Turbulence. And after the wreck some had been jumped by Mr. Dead but some had got the luck, and it leads them here. One look and they’s got the hots for it. They word it “Planet Earth.” And they says, “We don’t need the knowing. We can live here.”
