The Morning Report - 6/17/22

Good morning, kids. The weekend is here and just to set the table, as it were, compare and contrast these two links.

First up, we have the not as lovable as Tater, yet equally grating pinhead Chris Hayes.

Hayes interviewed “The Present Age” newsletter writer Parker Molloy about conservative media’s focus on gay and transgender people as well as drag queens. Molloy claimed that right-wing people are saying that “LGBTQ people are a threat to be around children” by passing legislation to ban kids from attending drag queen events and banning classroom discussion about sexual orientation and gender identity in early elementary school.

“The idea that introducing your child to any example of deviation from gender norms is child abuse, like, per se, right, that that itself [is child abuse]. That is an extreme, disgusting and a frankly kind of violent idea because it embeds a notion of child abuse,” Hayes said.

You got that? Chris Hayes declares that merely voicing opposition to drag queen story hour is "violent." No room to debate or discuss or delve into what societal "norms" are, which he himself brings up. No. To oppose this is violent. Period end of story.

Now dig this:

A person driving a Volkswagen Jetta slammed into a store selling pro-Trump merchandise in Easton, Massachusetts, on Thursday afternoon, prompting an investigation from local law enforcement officials. . .

. . . A different local news station reported that the police “took the driver into custody and towed the car from the store.” “Just before he did that, there was a little boy with his mother shopping right in that spot,” Keith Lambert, the store’s owner, told a local news station. “The clerk was about to go to the bathroom and he would’ve gotten hit.”

. . . Alleged photos of the vehicle show at least one anti-Trump bumper sticker on it that features a picture of Trump, and reads, “Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.”

I have no way to reach Chris Hayes to comment on this but no doubt he'd describe it as a mostly peaceful car crash, and completely understandable given the circumstances. Meh, for me to even bring it up is the real act of violence, right Chris? I swear, I'd be rolling on the floor laughing my ass off were it not for my head exploding. With that, welcome to the upside-down world/mirror universe where we are through the glass, and darkly.

That bumper sticker. Ho. Lee Fook. Embroider it on a sampler and hang it next to Home Sweet Home. I can't even put into words the insane level of irony of that situation. Sheer mind-numbed cluelessness and projection, just like those who believe the J-6 committee is "protecting our precious democracy" (*vomits) from evil insurrectionists, or that turning scores of American cities into Dresden is peaceful, justified protest, or that a guy in a bikini is a woman (despite apparently no one knowing the definition of that word) and on and on and on.

But it's now gone beyond merely crazy. It's dangerous. The Democrat-Left's academia and media propaganda complex has so degraded the cognitive reasoning of at least two generations of Americans with the most absurd lies about their country, their family, their society and now themselves that they are at a point where they can and are being weaponized to commit atrocities.

Uvalde, TX is one example of a brain so warped and twisted that it lashed out in a burst of uncontrolled mass murder. On the other hand, we have BLM, Antifa and now this "Jane's Revenge" whose rage and anger are being intentionally used and directed as weapons of mass political terrorism and intimidation.

Not to worry though. The FBI is on the case, thank goodness (*vomits):

More than 20 pregnancy resource centers and offices of pro-life groups have been attacked or vandalized since the leak of a draft Supreme Court opinion indicating that the justices are likely to overturn Roe v. Wade, according to Catholic Vote.

The militant abortion group Jane’s Revenge has claimed responsibility for a slew of these attacks, and this week allegedly issued a radical missive promising to continue violent attacks on pro-life clinics and organizations.

In response to inquiries regarding the alleged Jane’s Revenge “communique,” the FBI said Thursday evening that while it would not comment on specific groups, the bureau is “investigating a series of attacks and threats targeting pregnancy resource centers and faith-based organizations across the country.”

“The FBI takes all threats seriously and we continue to work closely with our law enforcement partners and will remain vigilant to protect our communities,” the bureau told The Daily Wire. “We would like to remind members of the public that if they observe anything suspicious or have information about potential threats to report it to law enforcement immediately, call their local FBI field office, or submit a tip to tips.fbi.gov.”

Yeah, they'll get right on that. As soon as they can destroy the evidence that links them to the DNC, George Soros, Barack Obama or whoever. Meanwhile, you can bet your ass the FBI is sparing no expense and devoting full manpower on this crucially important case:

The FBI is reportedly investigating a Florida woman who found Ashley Biden’s diary in a rental home and sold it to a Right-wing investigative group.

A source close to the investigation told the Daily Mail that Aimee Harris is under investigation for allegedly selling Biden’s diary to Project Veritas for $40,000 in 2020. Harris found the diary under a mattress while staying in a house rented from a friend in Florida several weeks after Biden stayed there. . .

. . . Harris discovered Biden’s diary. In August, she contacted Robert Kurlander, a friend and convicted money-launderer, about the diary and the two reportedly decided to try and sell it. The diary later reportedly made an appearance at a GOP fundraiser in Jupiter, Florida, and was showed off to attendees.

Project Veritas became aware of the diary, and a week after the fundraiser, Harris and Kurlander flew to Washington, D.C., to meet with Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe. While no deal for the diary was struck at the time, Project Veritas later reportedly agreed to purchase the diary for $40,000.

. . . Project Veritas is facing federal scrutiny for its role in the diary fiasco. FBI agents raided the residences of O’Keefe and two others who were working for Project Veritas at the time. The bureau began investigating the group for its role in allegedly stealing the diary.

No stone left unturned. First Stoner Son of president Sponge Brain Shits Pants? Not so much. The republic is in good hands, my friends. Hallelujah.

Projection ain't just a river in Egypt. These "true believers" are serious as a heart attack as this essay from the estimable David Horowitz will remind us.

The crisis currently facing our nation is a crisis of faith – faith in the Constitution that has shaped our destiny, faith in the rule of law, and faith in the principle of equality before the law. The root cause of the lawlessness that is consuming our country is the monopoly of the executive power in Washington by a political party that has fallen under the control of the radical Left. This Left describes itself as “progressive,” but is focused on the goal of “re-imagining” American institutions and principles, in other words of dismantling the constitutional order that created the prosperity and freedoms that have shaped this country since its beginnings.

Having been born into this political Left and then rejected it, I have acquired an intimate perspective on its nature, and the threat it poses to the American future, which is grave. I was raised by Communists who always referred to themselves as “progressives,” and were sworn enemies of America and its institutions, as was I. We saw ourselves as warriors for social justice, acting on the “right side” of history.

We could not have been more mistaken. The “moral arc” of history is not “bent towards justice,” as progressives like to say. If it were, the 20th Century would be the most enlightened instead of the scene of the greatest atrocities and oppressions on human record. Worse yet, for this progressive myth, these atrocities and oppressions were perpetrated by progressives in the name of “social justice”. . .

. . . On my way out of the Left, I spent several years re-thinking what I had believed, and trying to understand the nature of the cause that I had served. Perhaps, my most profound and certainly most disturbing conclusion was that revolutionaries were by nature – and of necessity – criminals, who would routinely lie and break laws to achieve their ends. Every radical who believed in a “revolution” or a “re-imagining” of society from the ground up, every progressive who believed in a “fundamental transformation of America” as Barack Obama described his own agenda on the eve of his 2008 election, was a criminal waiting to strike. . .

. . . Before President Obama – a constitutional law professor – decided to break America’s immigration laws and grant 800,000 illegals resident status, he admitted to his fellow Americans on 22 public occasions that he had no constitutional authority to do so – none. Creating such an amnesty by executive order was illegal and unconstitutional. And he knew it. But he did it anyway because to him and his party, violating the fundamental law of the land was justified because the system that had created the law was oppressive and unjust – racist. In committing this crime against the nation he led, Obama was guided by a radical ideology that justified the illegal means as a victory for “social justice”. . .

. . . As a former radical I understood how high the stakes had become with Obama’s election. Since the Right was defending America’s freedoms while the Left was paying lip-service to patriotic pieties but intending nothing less than the destruction of constitutional order, I also understood that the rhetorical disparity between the two factions posed a grave threat to America’s future. . .

. . . Democrats regard the criminal riots that took place in the summer of 2020, as social justice. The riots cost $2 billion in property damage, killed scores of people and eventually thousands as their “De-Fund the Police” campaign triggered a record crime wave in America’s major cities. Democrats regard criminal lawlessness and mayhem as understandable responses to what they perceive as “social injustice” – courts and the law be damned. To them, mass lootings are “reparations,” and individual robberies and thefts a socialist redistribution of wealth. If you are in a battle of words – which is the nature of political warfare – and you are calling your enemies “liberals,” portraying them as not really understanding the gravity of what they are doing, while they are calling you “white supremacists” and “Nazis,” you are losing the war.

It's a long read but well worth your time. While it does shed light on my observations about Leftist cognitive dissonance, projection, Dunning-Kruger-ism, etc. as well as the dangerous situation we are in, Horowitz's call to take back the language, though important, I think might be too little and too late. I think we are now way past the point insofar as waging rhetorical war and debate. At least with them. Where it is valuable is in dealing with reasonable folks who are now fully aware of the catastrophe of Democrat-Leftist policies on their lives.

If we can secure the instrumentalities of government and most crucially education for a period of quite a number of years or even decades, we must somehow deprogram as much as half the nation. As for the mass of true believers that will no doubt still remain, they must be prevented from ever coming anywhere near even the lowest levels of power and influence.

Have a good weekend.

35 If I were gay, I'd be pissed that these drag shows were being described as part of the LGBHOSDPHAOBJFPIDSHPWEERKFOISFNBWEI movement.

Because the underlying assumption is that "all gays think children are appropriate objects of sexualization." That's the only (logical) way you can get from "No, I don't want my kid to go to 'Drag Queen Story Hour'" to "ViOLenCE AgAINst tEh QuEErz!"

Only if ALL gay or trans people think that sexualization of children is appropriate can you think that *not* wanting children to be sexualized is "homophobic" or "transphobic."

But, of course, they can't admit that because then the game would be up and all the homosexuals and gender dysphoric would turn around and say, "Fucking what? Woodchipper go brrrr" which is the only responsible response to sexual predation against children.

For those of you not from this godforsaken hellhole, Easton is south of Boston, home to the nominally RCC Stonehill College, with an over 90% white population. Family income averages around 100K. I guarantee you this story will certainly not make my local rag and will be buried faster than Hunter's laptop.

53 The American Spectator article touches on the huge mistake Dems have taken with respect to Hispanic voters. They have always just simply assumed that if they catered to black activists, Hispanic voters would say "oh that's great I'm voting for them!!!" But that was a ridiculous, flat out *racist* belief. I've been saying for a while that hispanics knew from the start that "black lives matter" really meant that Hispanic Lives Don't.

The best part is that Dems have pursued this tactic of making racially gerrymandered congressional seats for 50 years now, in the belief that this would create guaranteed Democrat seats. If Hispanic voters move en masse to voting for Republican, this entire 50 year effort on their part will turn out to have been a colossal mistake. (for them) BONUS: If Hispanics turn as it looks like they're going to, you can push the "Texas Turns Blue" moment off into the 22nd century.

But we mustn't "legislate our morality."

I mean, if you're a guy, having drunken sex is a game of 18+ year Russian Roulette anyway - from what happens if she gets pregnant to what happens if she decides "I couldn't consent - I was drunk, so it was rape!" So... don't do that, guys. It's a bad idea.

But the same people who tell me with one breath that we can't outlaw the murder of preborn humans because that would be "legislating [my] morality" are the ones who will turn around and praise a law like this.

Or never. The thing is, even our urban centers here in Texas are quasi-rural. There are actual farms in Dallas, for instance. So while we've got plenty of crazies in our big cities, and more than a few in college towns, the vast majority of the state is very old-school Christian Conservative. Out in the hinterlands, towns still all-but shut down on Saturday and Sunday (especially Sunday).

If the largely Roman Catholic Hispanic population turns against the Democrats in Texas, it would take a seismic shift for Democrats to get power again even in 100 years.

86 "Democrats are dead serious about getting what they want 'by any means necessary.'"

--

There was a time in the not too distant past that even they, American Democrats, wouldn't cross those lines because of intact safeguards within the federal gov't, and yes, probably because they still adhered to the belief that certain lines shouldn't be crossed. Then the dam broke as the radicals in their party started taking over little by little, both within the gov't bureaucracy and the voters themselves. Violence and lawlessness, hurting and harming their fellow Americans in any way possible is a means to an end. They have fully latched onto the red Communist's playbook to get what they want. There's no turning back for them. They will not be stopped...until they are stopped.

87 The crisis currently facing our nation is a crisis of faith – faith in the Constitution that has shaped our destiny, faith in the rule of law, and faith in the principle of equality before the law. The root cause of the lawlessness that is consuming our country is the monopoly of the executive power in Washington by a political party that has fallen under the control of the radical Left.

Not just that. If that monopoly acted with legality and honor, there would be no crisis. The abuse led to the crisis. The decades of continuous abuse.

A reactionary Long March will not work, for two reasons. First, it's too late. We don't have the time. They've advanced too far to be rolled back methodically over decades. Second, they aren't susceptible to their own tactics. Change from within is impossible for them, unless it is toward further radicalism.

This will not be a Long March. This will be either direct conflict (e.g., a nullification crisis, civil war, etc.) or a slow burn until their incompetence finally causes the system fail completely (as happened in the USSR, Romania, Yugoslavia, etc.).

Probably a two-finger swipe. The "one edge of the trackpad" concept was largely used before multi-touch gestures were a thing.

But if it's a new OS (Windows 10, various newer versions of Linux, ChromeOS (I think), etc.), the trackpad is probably inverted. If you swipe top to bottom with two fingers, it scrolls the screen *up.* You scroll from bottom to top to scroll down. This is, preposterously, called "natural scrolling" and can be disabled in your system settings. This is a great example of "fixing" what wasn't broken. "Natural" scrolling does indeed work - and work very well - on touch screens like phones and tablets because it works against the content on screen, not against the device. A trackpad works against the device, and applying direct content-manipulation to a tool-manipulation paradigm was a stupid idea.

105 There's something "off" about the universe, and all humans instinctively know it. We expect the solution to be a little bit weird and not obvious. Some people turn to religion.

107 Panamanian judge acquits 39 people charged in Panama Papers case.

The Panama Papers included a collection of eleven million secret financial documents that illustrated how some of the world’s richest people hide their money. The records were leaked in 2016, and the repercussions were far-ranging. This leak prompted the resignation of the Prime Minister of Iceland and brought scrutiny to leaders of Argentina, Ukraine, China and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

US federal prosecutors have alleged that the Mossack Fonseca firm conspired to circumvent American laws to maintain the wealth of its clients. They allegedly also concealed tax dollars that they owed to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

109 The inflation we are seeing and the resulting destruction are largely caused by the profligate spending of Democrats with a Republican assist. If Republicans truly cared about the country, one of their primary campaign promises would be to make sure that never happens again. They would propose to greatly reduce spending and the size of a behemoth government that has grown out of control and is being used to attack and undermine our liberties. It would also help bring out debt to a manageable level and ensure our economic future and that of our children.

Until Republicans put such a promise and a material proposal on the table, one has to assume they are cowards who are part of the problem, not the solution.

Six years ago, I was at a conference in which a school superintendant said there was no teacher shortage because he dealt with applications arriving every week. Over lunch, a principal said that half the applications weren't worth pursuing. Too many of their new-hires wouldn't stay longer than 2-4 years, and about 15% would leave the profession altogether.

In that case, there's a shortage of every occupation. Most people don't have that kind of dedication to their jobs anymore. Gen X looked at their boomer parents coming home just in time to eat supper and go to bed, and they looked at their empty houses when they got home from school, then - when they became adults - said "f*ck that with a rusty chainsaw" and so a revolution in work/life balance began.

Unfortunately, now it's gone too far and people think they shouldn't have to work for one second longer than their scheduled time, should get huge, Top Performer pay for just showing up, and shouldn't have to commit to any sort of self- or professional-improvement.

It's certainly not just teachers who are so affected though. I see it with doctors, nurses, police officers, in my own industry (software development), and so on.

181 Quarter of Federal Health Workers Failed To Check Email Amid Pandemic, Report Reveals
++++
From the actual leaked document, since the Beacon article left a pretty important part out of the coverage:
The report, commissioned by former HHS Chief of Staff Brian Harrison, found that on any given day from March-December 2020, between 20-30 percent of HHS employees did not appear to be working. ...

So just periodically not logging in at all. It doesn't break out how many people just didn't bother to log in at all, but being down 25% or 30% in effective staff *every day* is way beyond what managers have built into their models. In my division, we assume 10% "shrinkage" on any given day (vacations, sick days, etc.). 25% would kill us. This means two things in all probability:
1. Throughput and efficiency probably fell a lot
2. The HHS is wildly overstaffed. If losing a quarter of the workforce didn't just cripple them completely, they have too many people.

This remains to be seen and unfortunately we don't know yet. I was pushed out of Colorado by the colonists. I moved to a real state. Hopefully I'm in the majority, but I don't know.

The people moving out of blue shitholes and in to real America generally fall into one of two categories. They're colonists (see: Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Idaho) or they're refugees. If they're colonists, those states - Florida, the Carolinas, Tennessee - are done for. It's only a matter of time now. If they're refugees, there will be some problems associated with large migrations like property values, driving culture, accent degradation, etc. but they will overall be okay.

214 Probably 75% of our transplants from the great northeast are here because they hate progressives, liberals and the northeast politics/tax structure.

I always remind them, 'respect the culture, learn to understand the history, and be glad that you're here'.

When I transplanted from CTX to ETX, I assured people that I am a refugee not a missionary. My spouse refuses to tell people we are from Austin but claims Round Rock (even though we were in an unincorporated area that had an Austin mailing address)

I could work anywhere on the planet as long as there is reliable electricity and broadband, so I chose ETX because the people here think Trump is too far on the Left.

215 How did the Kavanaugh would-be assassin get his Glock to Maryland? If he packed it into his luggage and loaded it on an airliner, I'm kind of surprised it wasn't found. Isn't all luggage xrayed?

You can check a gun in your luggage. You have to declare it, they inspect it on the spot, and then you must use a non-TSA compliant lock for your luggage (to prevent the TSA from stealing it - real vote of confidence, eh?).

But if he did bring it on the airliner, there's a record and it would speak to the level of intent and planning and should result in him being locked up for a long time (which won't happen, of course). Also, was that "high-capacity" magazine included, in which case how did he get it in California? Was his weapon registered in California, which does have a firearms registry? How many CA-side crimes did he commit in this process?

All questions that will go unanswered.

I still believe that the colonization of CO stemmed from the relative strength of CA in the 90s and 00s. They were wealthy and in complete control of CA politics (the unmanning of Arnold is evidence of that), so they spread their reach intentionally.

The moves over the past two years don't stem from leftist power but from chaos due to leftist rule. It's materially different. Someone who wants to flee Los Angeles because it's a hellhole but also hates conservatives can still move to CO. A conservative who's lived in Seattle their whole life and suddenly just decides that they can't take the grinding down of leftist anymore could just move to a rural part of WA, but they'll be more inclined to move to a place like FL or TN than the leftist from LA.

I think the blue enclaves are emptying themselves out, primarily, of the final conservatives.

At the end of the year, his throat would be cut at the Temple as a holy sacrifice, no exceptions, and a new Sacred King would be selected.

Those commercial ad spots for the tournament were sold well in advance, and NBC would have had to "make good" on them if they stayed with the useless J6 hearings and those commercials weren't run. When I was still working in broadcast TV engineering, performing any maintenance during a commercial block was prohibited in the event we might interrupt the signal chain and lose a commercial spot. Especially in our lucrative NYC market.

360 DU is freaking out over the DOJ and Jan 6 committee...thought I'd see something about it here, but maybe I missed it?
WOW: DOJ wrote to select committee yesterday saying committee is hampering criminal investigationDOJ agrees to delay Proud Boys trial until December, citing potential prejudice caused by timing of Jan. 6 select committee hearings. Unclear if Judge Kelly will go along.

Looks like to me the DOJ is beginning construction on a tower of horseshit and gunsmoke,from which, upon completion, will flow all forms of excuses, non actions, and unanswered questions. Cynical I know, yet, cynicism with a strong foundation. You lefty shit-weasel! That's my line!

Imagine having to pick between these two: I'm disposed to trust the work of the committee at this point over DOJ but Even if they did interview all the same people having those transcripts would be a great opportunity to compare the records and uncover lies

Why did Laurence Tribe say 2 days ago that there is enough evidence to indict Trump beyond a reasonable doubt for several crimes? Because he's a liberal hack? Just spitballin' here...

We have a chain of possession of the diary.

Basically Ashley was staying with a friend while going through rehab.

When she left her friend had another woman living with him, who found the diary and noticed that in it Ashley said Joe Biden was molesting her and then turned it over to a journalist.

So we known 100% its real. And no one has argued the woman who found it managed to perfectly fake Ashley Biden's handwriting, so we know the accusations are real.

To your point it was abandoned, not stolen...so the only reason the feds had to go after it was that it was embarrassing for the president to be outed as a pedo.
