The Morning Report — 7/4/22

Good morning, kids. The Fourth of July is here. All things considered, on the one hand it's hard for me to wish you a happy Fourth but to not do so would be to accept the enemy's memes and hatred for the very founding of the United States of America. Here's just one link and headline that I think is illustrative:

Democrats of Pima County Arizona Celebrate Independence Day by Saying "Fuck the Fourth"

My response? Fuck YOU, vayr ge hargit, and go to hell. Whatever the state of this nation is, and I believe we are for sure in some transitory period where America as founded is no more, I'll be damned if I'm going to sit back and surrender to what those who destroyed it have in mind for us. Joe Mannix, CBD and I discussed what the future might hold on our latest podcast (in the sidebar and right here). I don't think that some sort of breakup into two or even more independent nation states is possible, at least not from the enemy's perspective. While all we want is to be left alone to live our lives as we see fit, they cannot allow that for a host of reasons. First, they'd starve to death soon after devolving into chaos and misery so complete as to make Haiti after a category 10 Hurricane Clinton look like the golden age of Atlantis in comparison. Second, it's sort of like the punchline from the joke about why Jewish women make love in the dark: "They can't stand to see anyone else have a good time." As long as we exist, and in fact thrive, the complete negation of everything they believe in would be impossible for them to bear. But, I digress.

Look at their reactions to the SCOTUS decisions that came down last week in striking down Roe, affirming free speech and rejecting New York's absolute infringement on the Second Amendment. Calls to either pack the court with a half dozen more Leftist hack-in-black rubber stamps or to abolish the court altogether as well as states vowing to flat out ignore the Court's rulings. Can you say, "nullification?"

In an act of breathtaking defiance and spitefulness not seen since Southern states engaged in "massive resistance" to the Supreme Court's 1954 Brown v. Board decision, the New York State Legislature gave a middle finger to the Supreme Court and voted Friday to effectively nullify the Court's decision last week in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen.

After an extraordinary session for the explicit purpose of defying the Court, Senate Bill S51001 was rammed through on a party-line vote by the Democratic supermajority, passed the Assembly, and received the signature of Gov. Kathleen Hochul. . .

. . . In Bruen, Justice Thomas ruled that these arbitrary restrictions were unconstitutional and violated the Second Amendment's guarantee to keep "and bear" arms for self-defense, ordering New York State and New York City to issue concealed carry permits to qualified applicants for that reason.

In response, Gov. Hochul (who was endorsed by the NRA in 2012 when she ran for Congress in rural Western New York) vindictively declared that New York would restrict guns to the point where the State would "go back to muskets."  Hochul called the Legislature back from recess and presented a bill that criminalizes as a felony offense concealed carry in perhaps 98% of the state.

Relying upon Justice Scalia's unwise choice of words in District of Columbia v. Heller, the bill defines nearly every public area except for a road or sidewalk a "sensitive area" where a permit holder is forbidden to carry concealed. . .

. . . New York has made it clear that the Constitution does not apply within its boundaries, no matter what the Supreme Court says.  As was the case after the Heller decision of 2008, the state's gun laws have actually become an order of magnitude more repressive following the legal "victory."

I suppose I could be glib and say "So, okay. New Yorkers should just open carry. Problem solved." I hate these fucking people with a passion but one thing is absolutely clear: by hook or by crook, regardless of their political clout, they will do whatever it takes to win and impose their will on us. Our side, not so much. Their words and deeds are proof positive that we are in a cold to lukewarm civil war. Our political and thought leadership in the main refuses to see this and so goes blissfully on with exhortations to vote harder, contribute more to the RNC and don't let your National Review subscription lapse.

And so, it's July 4th. There are revolutions and then there are "revolutions." Lurker extraordinaire Victor Davis Hanson:

For 120 days in summer 2020, violent protesters destroyed some $2 billion in property and injured 1,500 police officers in riots that led to over 35 deaths.  

Because blue-state mayors and governors saw BLM and Antifa instigators as useful street soldiers, most of those arrested were never tried in court. Street thugs paid no price for declaring themselves de facto owners of downtown areas of Seattle, which police themselves conceded were no-go zones. Why did public officials in blue states ignore the violence? They were certain that it enjoyed majority support among their leftwing constituencies. 

Indeed, some leftist icons cheered on the violence. Well after the failed attempt to storm the White House grounds, in June 2020, the Democratic candidate for vice president Kamala Harris warned us that protestors were “not going to let up, and they should not.” What did Harris mean by “should not?”—when she knew numerous protests that summer had ended in terrible violence? Was she reckless in the manner Trump was said to be by encouraging a demonstration on January 6? . . . 

. . .The Left, in revolutionary fashion, has waged a sustained and unapologetic attack on constitutional norms and long-held institutions—whenever it senses they no longer prove conducive to its own radical agendas.  

Barack Obama declared during a funeral oration for the late Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) that the filibuster was racist and must end—although as a senator Obama had used it and declared it essential.  

The Electoral College? When the so-called “blue wall” fell, it transmogrified from valuable to a bankrupt fossil. In fact, the Left has wanted to create two new blue states (the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico) to fast track four left-wing senators, and cram through a national voting law to make the states’ constitutional prerogative to require voter IDs illegal. . . .

. . . There is a revolutionary war now being waged against the Supreme Court, because it no longer characteristically legislates from the bench. If the Court was once beloved as an iconic institution that was a sort of liberal judiciary, legislature, and executive all in one, it is now utterly despised as counterrevolutionary. Indeed, it is declared illegitimate, and its rulings to be ignored.  
Former law professor Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) screams about a need to pack the Court—an insurrectionary attempt to end 160 years of judicial law and custom, that would be impossible without first ending the 180-year filibuster.  

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) called out Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanagh by name at the doors of the Court, issuing biblical warnings of violence to both: “You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.”  . . .

. . . On the day Trump was inaugurated, Madonna incited a crowd outside the White House by warning that she had thought of blowing up the White House. Comedian Kathy Griffin trumped that in a video in which she held up a facsimile of a decapitated Trump head.

Few today remember James Hodgkinson—a former Bernie Sanders campaign worker—and his 2017 attempt to assassinate Republican congressmen at a practice for a charity baseball game. 

So yes, let us fear that democracy is dying in media darkness. Real insurrectionists are seeking to dismantle the Constitution, to end centuries-long customs and traditions, to justify the use of political violence, and to disobey all the laws they find inconvenient. 

With that, it absolutely breaks my heart to see this story:

Much of what American soldiers fought for in World War II has “gone down the drain,” according to U.S. Marine Carl Spurlin Dekel, who celebrated his 100th birthday last week.

Dekel says serving his country in WWII was the most important thing he ever did, according to Fox 13. The veteran and Silver Star holder says he wouldn’t hesitate to put his life on the line again, but regrets that the U.S. has slipped away from what he remembers.

“People don’t realize what they have,” Dekel told the outlet. “The things we did and the things we fought for and the boys that died for it, it’s all gone down the drain.”

“We haven’t got the country we had when I was raised, not at all,” he says. “Nobody will have the fun I had. Nobody will have the opportunity I had. It’s just not the same and that’s not what our boys, that’s not what they died for.”

Dekel’s statements came the same day the U.S. lost the last surviving Medal of Honor recipient from WWII. Hershel “Woody” Williams died Wednesday at 98 years old, surrounded by his family at a hospital named after him in his home state of West Virginia.

Revolutions and revolting. Happy Fourth of July.

We all know there are many copies of these emails. The Clinton Ass Sniffers dont have the balls to release them!

14 I'm a huge fane of Calvert, but Rome was not just " like any other civilization". That is an amazingly facile line to use to contrast the concept of republics between Rome and Philadelphia 1776. The fact is, we will fall, have fallen, whatever, like Rome through a combination of a weak people given to sloth and gratification of the senses, weak rulers who allow and encourage this behavior and a failure to stay committed to the principles that created the enterprise. In our case, remembering that we were God inspired, God sparked and God led for much of our history.

20 Democrats of Pima County Arizona Celebrate Independence Day by Saying "Fuck the Fourth"
-------
Learned a new term recently (or had forgotten and re-learned it) that has been used to describe the Left's "Western Self-Hatred:" Oikophobia. [Orwell drew attention to English self-hatred many years ago.]

Was musing to my wife yesterday that some of you 'rons & 'ettes who really are 29 or younger may still be around for the tricentennial date of July 4, 2276 ... but I doubt very much the nation will have survived in any recognizable form.

Her response was we'll be luck to make it to 250 years in 2226. [I looked up the name for the 250th anniversary, and there are three: Semiquincentennial, Sestercentennial, or Quarter Millennial.]

Semi-Happy Independence Day to all of you and the rest of us who still love the Founding and what decency remains of this country ...

27 The Democrat Left is now openly flouting Supreme Court decisions, the law of the land. Who couldn't see this coming? About 99% of the GOP. And who will do anything about it? Not 99% of the GOP.

VDH asks "who are the real insurrectionists?" The question comes years too late. That it is phrased as a question is sad.

That we didn't, and don't yet, understand the nature of the war against us, so we pay the ongoing and perhaps ultimately fatal price.

Trump had a chance to call them out as insurrectionists and turn the narrative on their heads (who of any national figure ever had more cause or was in a better position to do so) but averred and bowed out gracefully. Maybe it was the smarter move long term. But time is running out. "Long term" no longer obtains.

I hope DeSantis can up his game.

Amidst all the ongoing stupidity, remember that things are finally moving our way. The left's plans are crumbling and they don't know how to stop it other than scream and shout.

Independence Day is a great time to remember that ultimately political power flows from the will of the people, and all the force in the world can't save a regime that has lost its legitimacy.

To put it another way, we should watch the Dems try to thwart the courts, pass pathetically stupid laws and call for revolution because that tells ordinary Americans that they are NOT legitimate. They can't go on about 'a return to normal' and they declare the Supreme Court now invalid.

Agreed. Put simply, the courts can't supervise enforcement of a law an administration doesn't like. Back in the 70s you saw judges take over municipal services via consent orders and it was unconstitutional as hell.

Simply if doing so were constitutional.

Of course, Iran has a hit team in the US. Probably, a few along with multiple moles and saboteurs.

Not every gov't in the world is as stupid, incompetent, and self-hating as the one run by Slow Joe and the Democrats,

So, Iran, Russia, China, North Korea, Pakistan, Ukraine(?), and any fun-sized, punk-ass dictatorship that thinks they might be paid a visit by the US military or not like our election choices will almost certainly have loaded us up with hit teams and saboteurs. It's the smart thing to do.

"A woman who sent her brother's body to the funeral home for cremation after he died in April told WHAS-TV that she is still waiting for his remains. Tara Owen said when she reached out to the funeral director, he responded that he was "dealing with a lot at the moment."

Oddly enough, the Lankford Funeral Parlor owner/s didn't reply to an AP request to ask a few questions.

99 How does the New York situation impact our view of States' Rights?

Posted by: kraken at July 04, 2022 07:54 AM (Vr12I)
---
The 14th Amendment put certain limits on the ability of states to curb individual freedom, so it isn't an issue of State's Rights.

Also, the Constitution guarantees all citizens a "republican" form of government. If a state altered its Constitution so as to abolish that form of government, that would also become a federal issue.

I think the next step is a lawsuit, summary judgement without even a hearing and at some point, individual officials will be sued for their infringement on rights.

We're seeing this on college campuses where repeat offenders lose official immunity and can be sued personally.

This is but the beginning of cracks in the rotten foundation that our enemies have built up over the decades. Between Roe and the 2A ruling, their Holy Narrative is being taken down.

Maybe it's God giving us a chance or maybe it's people finally standing up and saying "No more." I personally believe it's the second with God nodding in approval.

I agree with this. Our Resistance is about building back and shoring up our traditional rights and Constitutional governance along with w healthy economy. It's harder work but is actually being done now by brave men and women. Our work is being done with love, love of America and our fellow Americans.

The Democrats say "Build Back Better" but it's all about tearing everything down, and sowing poverty, privation, and discard while they do it. It's the easier job. And it's done with hate...hate for America and for their fellow Americans. They are riddled with anger, hatred and insanity. They also have power. It's a potent combination. They must lose this Fall, and they will if we all do our jobs.

____________

In a Pfizer whistle-blower lawsuit, Pfizer said it should not be held liable for all the lies in the papers it submitted to get emergency use authorization for its covid "vaccine," because the government knew about the lies, and even instructed Pfizer to lie.

CDC scientists repeatedly assured the public last year that the covid vaccines could not change human DNA because the vaccines could not penetrate the cell nucleus. Italian scientists subsequently proved that was a lie. Experiments with human liver cells showed that the vaccines penetrated the cell nucleus, and started changing cell DNA within 6 hours.

I happened to be on ima_gur (picture site in case this gets Pixyfied) last night. It used to be a place of hosted memes. Now its front page is full of screeching about Roe and SCOTUS and how hypocritical Catholics are. I can't even find memes for the popular game I play anymore because of what they've done to the search function. Byeeeeee!

170 Gates, already the largest farmland owner in the country, has secured the go ahead to buy the land for $13.5 million under his ‘Red River Trust’ company.
Gates is circumventing a 1932 anti-corporate farm ownership law by pledging to lease the land back to farmers after the purchase is complete.

This isn't just here in the US. This is a world-wide phenomenon among Our Betters...control of food production.

And more to the point, control of water rights. The Limeys and Frogs have been particularly active in this all-over the world. Our Betters as well.

Water and food, the basic stuff of life.

I would like to think if we get a huge victory this year and in '24 that a conservative gov't will go after people like Gates hammer and tong and break up their attempted monopolistic control of food and water.

The murder of Jose Calvo Sotelo by a policeman was the immediate cause of the Spanish Civil War. Calvo Sotelo was a leading figure on the center-right and possessed parliamentary immunity. The police had no right to detain him, let alone kill him.

That was the unmistakeable signal that the Second Republic was dead, and that was the moment Franco threw in with the conspirators. Within days Spain was in a state of civil war.

The GOPe is getting thinner on the ground these days. Remember that a ton of them retired as part of the effort to give the Dems a House majority. The seats that are in play now have challengers very different from the old incumbents.

I think you mean to say that this is a stripper with the mental illness of gender dysphoria performing for children. There is no such thing as "trans" or "transgender". There are only men and women with mental illness, gender dysphoria.

This was said to be against Twitter rules for "hate speech". Don't care too much, as I just use Twitter to keep up with news, not to promote myself or interact with anyone else. But it's a reminder that nothing has changed at Twitter regarding free speech. Jordan Peterson was recently banned for stating a similar fact about Ellen Page.

When the Indians gave it up, it went to the feds, who then got rid of it. The Homestead Act, for example.

Some went to the railroads so they could finance their expansion with the land proceeds.

The problem is that the west has a lot of land that just doesn't work for small farms. You don't see much federal land east of the Mississippi because smaller farms are practical. The parts of Michigan that are federal are the most remote parts, generally heavily forested. The timber was useful, but not enough to buy the land.

The problem is that the west has a lot of land that just doesn't work for small farms. You don't see much federal land east of the Mississippi because smaller farms are practical. The parts of Michigan that are federal are the most remote parts, generally heavily forested. The timber was useful, but not enough to buy the land.

Many have stated for years that the Left will push for normalization of pedophilia. And I think this is how they are doing it. First start with the sexualization of children as they are doing through grooming. In addition to that, state that children are mature enough to know they are "transgender". Next, it is an easy jump for them to state that children are mature enough to make more decisions about their sexuality and have sexual relations with adults.

And anyone who points this out is either silenced and censored or their life destroyed by the alphabet soup mafia (i.e. the attacks and smears against LibsOfTikTok, banning of Jordan Peterson, attacks against JK Rowling, etc).

Sick, evil and scary times we live in.

Your argument begs the question. We've seen no evidence of any competence at any time. There have been multiple opportunities for the left to make a smart - even devastating play - and without exception they have fumbled these away.

Thus the argument that there's some sort of ruthless "A-Team" lurking in the background is pure supposition, akin to the "the fact that we can't see them proves that they are there" line of reasoning.

The fallback position is of course that the goal is to just spread chaos, which again cannot be proven or disproven because every time something happens, one can respond "yep, they meant for that to happen."

Conservatives Waffle on Abortion and Women's Accountability

Interesting article with great points made. Takes on all the current supposedly top conservative talking heads at The Daily Wire: Jeremy Boreing, Andrew Klavan, Michael Knowles, Matt Walsh, Candace Owens.

She hits it on the head here. Conservatives are too afraid of holding women accountable for their evil decisions:

Or is it simply because, like many people in our society, conservatives are unable to admit the reality of female evil: that hundreds of thousands of women every year in America make the decision to kill their unborn children not under duress or out of fear or because they were lied to but for reasons of convenience, selfishness, and gross indifference to the life within them.

Except that there is opposition, and its gaining strength. The left doesn't just want pure chaos, it wants abortion on demand, it was to police pronouns - it wants lots of things that only an ordered society can support.

Because of its gross ineptitude, it's undermining the very institutions it spent decades taking over.

Yes, I get it: you can always say "they meant that to happen," but that argument also implies that no form of resistance can ever be successful because whatever subsequently happens was *also* part of the plan.

Same playbook Left has been using for decades. Accuse their political enemies of that which they are already -- or have already been - doing. And they keep using it, because it works. They are prepping the battlefield by getting these narratives out into the public.

The coup already happened in 2020. That was pulled off by the Deep State: Democrats and Republican establishment. But they succeeded in completely hiding that fact and immediately flipping the narrative with the Deep State operation on January 6, 2021. Instead of people talking about the obvious rigged and stolen election, the narrative was about an "insurrection".

I have no idea how the left can be defeated when they control every institution in the country and every institution of information dissemination in the country. And then have the power to control every narrative and censor all opposing narratives.

Otherwise, you're once again looking at what happened and assuming that because they are Supra-Geniuses all is going according to plan.

Was Dobbs part of the plan? Desantis?

Global famine will bring down their entire happy lifestyle. They probably think it won't, but that's because they're demented perverts.

Remember, everyone in charge in 1914 was sure the war would be short and go their way.

300 The left's big idea is a world without borders and distinction by country. Destroying our energy economy which has helped make us the most powerful country the world has ever known is a tactic not an endgame.

If the powers that be get their way, there will be more borders than you can shake a stick at. Borders and boundaries for where you may travel. Where you may do commerce.

Even better, boundaries where you MUST work and live. Border after boundary after line of demarcation - for you and me. Our entire world of existence will be no bigger than a few counties. Maybe less.

Yes, that is the basic plan. A piece of this non-plan plan, of course, is to give boodles of tax money to selected innovators. Solyndra-type selected innovators. Forcing the elimination of fossil fuels in the US will not make the desired change in the Earth's constantly changing climate. It WILL make some people extremely wealthy.

The J6 Show Trial Is Lying About Election "Fraud"

Yep. It's one big narrative and propaganda operation. Flood the public with a narrative for weeks and months on end and get everyone talking about that narrative and everyone forgets the previous crimes committed.

It keeps this narrative in the public consciousness. Gives every media and social media outlet an excuse to push the narrative even more. Meanwhile, as everyone is spending all their time debunking the pushed narrative, the Left has been busy at work, Hart's War style, putting in place their operation to rig and steal the 2022 and 2024 elections.

311 There are lots of scenarios.

But again, you speak of a "plan." A plan with hundreds of millions of moving parts. Lots can go wrong with such plans.

I think that there are many simultaneous plans. Plans to bring famine, plans to bring energy collapse, plans to kill white people (one would be the "Health Equity" scam, the other is Medical Ethicists, another is insurance gateways). They could be well planned or nailing Jell-o to the wall, there are a lot of narcissists who have their own agenda and their own following and sponsors. Why do you keep hearing them responding to questions about a strategy for a particular problem as "All Options". Because they have a room full of Malthusian Anarchists who, in typical Post Moden fashion have their own truth and own Means To An End.

Exactly.

This has been the goal of the globalists for decades. Who do you think invented the global warming hoax? They flat out said why they did it but that always seems to get lost in the hyperbole.

The group in Davos who gathers every year to plot the future of the world isn't going there for the cocktail parties. They have their own private police force which guards the place like it is a government. Because it is.

Maybe. But I think they've figured out that they can't simply subsidize their way to "green energy". Because they've tried and failed over and over again. And if they thought that was all it took - they'd be doing it now, on a massive WWII scale.

If this was simply a greed or control play, that would be one thing. And of course, there is some greed and control in this, for those positioned to feed at the trough. But that doesn't explain the 95% of the political class that is moving with this yet have no direct, immediate gain to be had.

The crazy bastards believe it will work, and is worth doing, regardless of the costs. That's a problem.

Right, so instead of thinking that everything has already been worked out in advance, the more plausible case is that these are stupid people being duped by other stupid people.

They really do think that if you 'cut oil subsidies', this will spur Green Tech innovation.

The Supra Geniuses - as we've seen - are remarkably stupid in their own ways. They had one skill set: getting rich. That's it.

Not only that, they could only have gotten rich in a certain way that happened to be open at a given time. Bill Gates in 1700 is a clerk.

I think these people don't actually know where they are going. They have ideas and are rich enough to get sycophants to agree with them, but that doesn't give them any particular insight.

Um, no. It's the American Deep State's Liberal World Order.

Joe Biden is nothing but a dementia-suffering, brain-damaged puppet of the American Deep State, WEF and Chinese Communist Party.
