The Morning Report — 8/16/22

Good morning, kids. Tuesday and despite all the media spin that Trump lied about the DOJ seizing his passports, only to have the DOJ come and admit that indeed they were taken, the most important points to remember about this entire horrific, nightmare scenario is that in a sane and just world, there was absolutely ZERO legal justification for this Gestapo-like raid on Mar-a-Lago, period, full stop. The records that Trump has in his possession were first and foremost legal insofar as the ones in question had been declassified by him during his tenure in office. And the idea of him having nuclear codes is ridiculous on the face of it.

In any case, former presidents do retain documents mostly for the purposes of memoirs, presidential libraries and such as a matter of time-honored tradition and routine. Prior to the raid, the FBI and DOJ were aware of the nature of the documents and Trump cooperated with them, in fact if I remember correctly (and please do correct my timeline and details if I'm fuzzy), they were present at Mar-a-Lago several times to deal with the re-classifying of some materials by the current illegal junta. Again, do chime in to correct me on these details, which are getting into the weeds. Although, that said, the video of the braindead liberal who spouted crap about Trump finally be nailed for a host of provable crimes, when queried by the interviewer to name one of them, was seen doing the "Norman! Coordinate!" boogaloo and replied "I'm done talking." That right there tells you everything you need to know as to why, as Rush Limbaugh of blessed memory would often say "the left doesn't want to level the playing field, they want to clear it." When confronted with the truth and with facts their arguments fall to pieces faster than a drunken muumuu-wearing harridan at a 9/11 memorial service. Same goes for that freak Jamie Raskin when confronted by a random act of journalism on this "Inflation Reduction Act" farce and asked point blank how specifically it will reduce inflation responds "Next question."

In any case, the salient point in all of this is whatever pretext was used to conduct this revolting incident was complete and utter bullshit. To my dying day I will maintain that Donald Trump is probably among the most honest individuals to ever hold public office in the last 50 to 100 years, bar none. Say what you will about his personality or vibe or whatever other things really have no relevancy to his tenure as president and to his oath of office, from day one, he told the absolute truth about what he was going to do if and when he took office. The only "crime" he committed was daring to try to overturn the tables of the money changers and reverse the course of history that as we now are seeing and experiencing are taking us over a cliff, and much of the western world with us courtesy of this Global Reset. Concomitant with that was the other "offense" if you will of exposing and exploding so many myths about the nature of our government and how rotten and corrupt the whole system is to tens of millions of people, myself included, who deluded themselves into thinking the republic, flawed from time to time though it may be, still functioned mostly as intended.

It is obvious that it does not and has not for many years if not decades. And for sure, it is dead. If it didn't die on Election Night 2020 or even on January 6th, 2021, there can be no doubt that August 8th, 2022 put the nail in the coffin. Like everything else Trump has had to go through with the impeachments, the NY AG investigations and all the rest, they are gunning for him, figuratively and I have no doubt likely quite literally now. It doesn't matter that there is no real evidence (manufactured by Hillary Clinton and Marc Elias or not), or if, as one link describes that they violated his 6th Amendment rights by seizing his passports, thereby supposedly putting whatever case they have in jeopardy. "Show me the man and I'll show you the crime" as Lavrenty Beria would say.

They want vengeance against Trump for winning 2016 and doing things that exposed the Democrat Deep State Global Reset Crowd as the frauds, criminals and incompetents that they are for all the world to see. They cannot allow him back in power again. So he will be gotten rid of. The estimable Julie Kelly warns us to prepare for the inevitable.

It now appears inevitable that the Justice Department will bring criminal charges against the former president. FBI Director Christopher Wray’s stunt at Mar-a-Lago on August 8 is part of creating the optical illusion that Donald Trump is guilty of any number of crimes related to January 6 or the mishandling of secret government documents—or both. On Monday, the Justice Department subpoenaed another Trump White House lawyer as the legal momentum accelerates.
Attorney General Merrick Garland is doing his part to build the public case while Lisa Monaco, his deputy, runs the day-to-day lawfare operation against Trump. Monaco, a longtime Obama confidant who worked in his White House until the last day, is a rabid Trump hater. She intends to finish what the Obama Justice Department started in 2016 by indicting Donald Trump. . .
. . . This is the legal and judicial circle of hell now fired up to come for President Trump—a vengeful Justice Department run by Obama loyalists working with a weaponized FBI to bring criminal charges against hundreds of Trump supporters who then face the wrath of enraged judges of both political parties. There is no way out.
And at this point, there’s no way out for Merrick Garland, either. Democrats have raised expectations that Trump soon will be in handcuffs; failure to do so will result in a harsh backlash by their own voters this fall. After six years of promises, Democrats better deliver the goods on Trump or face intra-party revolt.

Kelly of course reminds us of the kangaroo courts that have already thrown the book at J6 entrapment victims while scores still rot away in the Garland Archipelago awaiting the same fate. You think a DC jury pool with scum like Beryl Howell and Emmett Sullivan on the bench are going to give a flying fuck about minor annoyances like due process and actual evidence? We joke about the fantasy of frog-marching a handcuffed Hillary Clinton to an arraignment but that is more than likely what will happen to Trump soon enough.

And remember, this is not just about Trump. It's about you and me, especially now that the IRS has been supersized into what is effectively another branch of the same Stasi/Gestapo apparatus that is our FBI and DOJ, DHS, ATF, CIA, EPA and every other bureaucracy that is also now armed to the teeth and authorized to use deadly force if necessary. As Trump himself warned "they're after you." And now they are doing whatever they can to get him out of the way.

This is bigger than merely Trump as a candidate. Trump is quickly taking on the mantle of leader of a movement that could very well become among the greatest political movements in history. Nailing him is a warning shot to anyone else who dares pick up the mantle of restoring America and our freedom. Not just politicians running for office but anyone who dares speak out in defiance of the shackles being prepared for us as we speak. If Trump is arrested and tried, what will be the reaction and what will be the effect down the road?

The world wonders . . .

35 The third and final priority of a Great Reset agenda is to harness the innovations of the Fourth Industrial Revolution to support the public good, especially by addressing health and social challenges. During the Covid-19 crisis, companies, universities, and others have joined forces to develop diagnostics, therapeutics, and possible vaccines; establish testing centers; create mechanisms for tracing infections; and deliver telemedicine. Imagine what could be possible if similar concerted efforts were made in every sector.

38 We're going to see the fruits of "any means necessary" soon. There are surely many people who wouldn't give a damn if Trump actually *were* guilty of whatever nonsense they say he is. They've driven us past the point of Guilt and Innocence, and into the realm of Victor and Subjugated. That, right there, is the real indicator that a Republic is dead.

89 The CIA is interviewing three potential agents -- two men and a woman. For the final test, they bring one of the male candidates to a door and hand him a gun. "We must know that you will follow instructions, no matter what," says the interviewer. "Inside this room you will find your wife sitting in a chair. Kill her."

"You can't be serious," the man says. "I could never shoot my wife."

"Then you're not the right man for the job," says the interviewer.

The second man is given the same instructions. Five minutes later, he emerges with tears in his eyes and says, "I can't."

Finally, the woman is given the test, but with her husband. She takes the gun and enters the room. Shots are heard, then screaming, crashing, and banging. After a few minutes, she comes out and wipes the sweat from her brow. "You didn't tell me the gun was loaded with blanks," she says. "I had to beat him to death with the chair."

That's I think, likely. Another option is trying to thread the needle by bringing their case to the grand jury and then ensuring - one way or another - that the grand jury declines to indict.

They then get to blame the grand jury when talking to the left, crow about how the system works and DC is fair when talking to the right, gin up more incidents and violence from their lunatic base, dominate another week's worth of press talking about the details of the case (with leaks galore) and how this miscarriage of justice means we must keep trying - but only if we stay in power - in an attempt to energize the rest. They also get to short-circuit a lot of "banana republic" talk because "the system works."

There's a lot of potential in flubbing the indictment.

If I had to pick one on the list it's Bill Gates who's on the flight logs. Despite his wealth, he's too nerdy to solicit his own underage hookers. "Sorry dear, I'm gone next week on a global do gooding mission with Bill. Oh, the sacrifices I make."

I don't see a link but does the article make note of China's flagrant and ongoing abuse of its water table in the north of China, the tremendous problems of industrial pollution that has seeped even into deep aquifers, the titanic scale of the (cost-ineffective, damaging and expensive to the end user) South-North Water Project or Xi Jinping's "Dynamic Zero" COVID policy's draconian lockdowns that result even in farmers being forbidden from working in their fields, putting crops under even greater pressure?

Any mention of any of that, or is it just a "climate change" argument?

I was thinking Trump has to file to move any indictment to FL if they try to indict him in DC. A DC grand jury would indict Trump for bad hair.

But if you're correct, they may indict in FL from the get-go. Although I don't know how reliably Republican Palm Beach is. Interesting to see what happens.

137 As midterm election campaigns heat up in the Senate’s top battlegrounds, the National Republican Senatorial Committee is canceling millions of dollars of ad spending, sending GOP campaigns and operatives into a panic and upending the committee’s initial spending plan. The cuts — totaling roughly $13.5 million since Aug. 1 — come as the Republicans’ Senate campaign committee is being forced to “stretch every dollar we can,” said a person familiar with the NRSC’s deliberations. Republican nominees in critical states like Ohio, Pennsylvania and North Carolina — places the GOP must defend this fall — have failed to raise enough money.

About 35,000 people work for the FBI. 14 whistleblowers amount to 0.04% of agency staff. If all of these whistleblowers are the genuine article and not one of them is a counterintelligence agent on a mission to protect the agency (which I doubt - at least one of them is almost certainly a poison pill the agency itself sent), that is not "lots of good people in the FBI."

These 14 - assuming their legitimacy - are the less-cowardly "good people" so let's assume they're a mere 1% of the "good people" at the FBI. Assuming that (and I think that's generous), there are 1,400 "good people in the FBI" and that raises the value to a staggering *4%* of the workforce there.

You are sadly mistaken should you believe this is going anywhere but an indictment. This is about power, which Democrats and their allies see slipping away if Trump regains The White House. They will do everything, no matter how transparently corrupt or unconstitutional, to make that happen. They don't care about law, justice,liberty, constitution or the truth. They care about their ability to control the American public through fear, intimidation, harassment and weaponizing our justice system against their detractors. In view of the evidence, you would be a fool to believe otherwise.

Ah, okay. Thank you. Found an ABC article on it from the AP. It's about the heat wave and lack of rain in Southwest China and the flooding earlier this year. No mention of any of the routine extreme water problems in China's north, that the routine flooding is exactly that (routine), that the flooding in China is exacerbated by their water management, the pollution problems, the COVID lockdown-related factors in agriculture or anything else.

I'm by no means a China expert, I just do some reading and I know that much, which is apparently more than the AP. When China's ongoing water catastrophe finally gets noticed by the AP, it is, of course, a climate change story:
Amid the drought, other areas of China have been hit by flash floods, underscoring the effects of climate change on the vast nation of 1.4 billion people stretching from the mountains and deserts of Central Asia to the South China Sea.

I have a feeling I'm not the only one who decided that the threat was real and voted for Graham because of that.

I remember the first ballot that Tim Scott won statewide in SC, it was a special election and Graham was on the same ballot. Scott won by 200,000 more votes than Graham did. 2014, it must have been.

Now, if only they would supply that same level of 'scrutiny' to their mail in ballots. lolololol

Parties aren't for fun or enjoyment, they're for work. You go and hobnob with other powerful people. You curry favor and hand out favors. You maintain and expand your networks of pull and influence. You maintain the relationships is a complex web of connected balancing acts. If you play the game well, you advance. If you don't, you get used. Either way, you end up in the mutual protection - and mutual blackmail - racket and get a piece of the corruption and criminality pie. If you're skillful, you get a bigger piece of that pie.

The parties aren't about socializing and talking about the game. They're where the *real* work - the work of corruption and power - gets done. In the window alcoves and dark-paneled libraries of the more fashionable homes in Washington and New York.

We've had their attempt at a New Deal along with the modern equivalent of burning crops and slaughtering livestock. We'll get the seizure of private gold and silver soon enough.

But they're dealing with a republic that, although much weaker than Constitutionally prescribed, still contains several states much stronger than the 1930s. And a citizenry much better armed than anytime in American history. We live in a golden age of private firearms ownership.

They, the DC Elite of both parties, are hitting a point where they simply don't know what to do next. It doesn't help that they really thought all their moves would have already worked by now.

274 It occurs to me that the public by and large will allow things to deteriorate to the point where the junta really does hit the tyranny peddle to the metal. There isn't going to be any sort of "preemptive" movement. We'll let the left go full retard, they'll steal more elections, people will be jailed, killed, etc. before a movement to restore some semblance of order takes shape. The "don't instigate anything" message really has taken hold.

I think that path is pretty much set. Whether any order comes out the other side is questionable. I think a figure like "a Trump" could galvanize the public, or part of it, but I just don't see a path currently available to upend what the left has planned.

Yet, in the course of human events shit happens, so anything's possible.

Yeah, it's jut optics.

It'll be more than optics when Greene establishes a fundraising system that supports conservatives in the House and uses it to challenge leadership directly.

Until then, we just have McCarthy twisting arms to get what he wants once he's Speaker. Greene shouting, "This is bad!" is going to be less convincing than McCarthy saying, "Vote this way or the RCCC doesn't fund you in 2024."

282 By the way, Judo Gene Lebell, long time Hollywood stunt man, coach of Ronda Rousey, former pro wrestling world champion, and the last of the era of 1950's American Judo bad asses, died this month.

Before my Sensei, Karl Geis, died, I heard him on the phone to Judo Gene, (I got to say hello to Lebell during the call). Karl said, I hate to admit this, but I used to look to see where you were competing, and I would avoid those tournaments. Lebell started laughing, and said "Hell I was doing the same thing with you, I didn't want any part of that foot sweep of yours." One thing about old school Judoka, they were very honest people, I believed both of them.

Kushner did incalculable damage to Trump's presidency, just with his collusion with Birx and the undermining of the doctors like Atlas who were trying to get more common-sense covid policies implemented.

And I doubt that Eric and Don, Jr., share Trump's blindness when it comes to Kushner, and they may help their dad see the light.

The thing is, that crap still works on a large swath of GOP voters. Old paradigms die hard. For decades, "law enforcement good" has been a staple of the right.

Its really been, I have to admit, a pretty smart move by the modern left to simply use the agencies most loved by the right against the right. Its a circle of thought that many, if not most, either can't or won't break.

In a wrong way it is sort of true.

The RNC came out (using Trump's name) fundraising for lawyers to fight the steal. Trump never did that or received any of the RNC fake Lawyers to Fight the Steal donations.

How do I know? I donated to that without reading the fine print and it was not Trump I donated to but the RNC. Remember when Trump sued the republican party to stop using his name to fund raise but he lost, this was why.

Of course the RNC, RNCC, RNSC are the ones behind the thousands of emails we al get for "Trump" that are not for Trump but for the GOPe. Read the fine print at the bottom of those emails.

417 I was running some current headlines through Google translate this am on tech thread English > German.

Everything sounded like 1940 Germany.

Because it is!

I used to wonder how the German people went full on hard socialist, commonly known as fascism. Now I not only know but am living through it.

419 Only five percent say the economy is excellent and 28 percent describe it as good.

I would say that the bulk of those opinions come from teachers and those recently hired by some government or leftist NGO.

420 He talks about dealing with Kushner and he does not give the impression that Kushner was deferring to Brix.
___________

We know Kushner hired Atlas secretly, but Atlas wasn't in a position to know that Kushner was later going behind his back and colluding with Birx (and Pence, Birx' other "go to" person who secretly helped her undermine the common-sense policies that Atlas and the other docs were trying to implement at the time).

421 I am able to create $88/h to complete a few jobs on a home computer. I've never thought that its even achievable but my closest mate earning $25k only within five weeks simply working this leading project & she had convinced me to join Discover extra details by going following link.. http://www.salarycash1.com

Thank you.

423 And BTW, if you doubt Birx' account of what Kushner was secretly doing, just look at who ultimately won the battle at the WH over covid policy: it was the Birx and Fauci team. Not Atlas. Atlas ended up quitting the WH in disgust because he couldn't get any of his policies implemented. Birx and Fauci got everything they wanted. Do you really think that would have happened if Kushner had been supporting Atlas, rather than secretly helping Birx and Fauci?

425 @415 FIB = KGB- Republicans hunker down and don't lead? Naaaaaah, you're joking right?

Nobody from the politician to the voter on our side has done anything. Can't even muster a simple peaceful protest for J6'ers or something like the Canadians did with the truckers.

Be the one dickhead to stick my neck out for people like this and face arrest? Nope. If there has ever been an excuse to maybe STFU and pick your words carefully it might be now since we have no law enforcement or legal entity to back us up. People have a hard time noticing the left isn't f'ing around and is playing for keeps. Any Republican/MAGA politician is a security threat to this country. The people on the left in charge repeat this daily now and given that list of people Tucker rattled off, it should clue you in. This isn't your typical pre-Nov 2020 political gamesmanship anymore.

426 87 Scientists Find Evidence Gay Couple Gave Monkeypox To Their Dog, CDC Updates Guidance

Imagine my not surprise that this was France.

We don't need scientists (what is their specialty anyway?) to tell us they fucked the dog. It happens here too I'm sure so I don't give your comment much significance. I would be surprised if they were moslem since they consider dogs unclean because they eat shit ..... wait .....

427 "David McCullough, who died last week at 89, was a gregarious man in what is normally a somewhat cloistered profession. Now I am sad!"

I can get over it. His works were pedestrian cut and paste jobs. I can name two biographies of John Adams that are superior to his, those by Page Adams and John Ferling.

430 "329 After LA County rejected about 40% of the signatures on the George Gascon recall petitions, the effort to end the Gascon regime of fear and chaos in Los Angeles failed. After 200K signatures failed examination for a variety of reasons, the recall ended up about 40,000 short.

Would be amusing to compare the invalidation rate of Gascon recall petitions to Democrat absentee votes in 2020. Seems that all of a sudden everyone forgot how to follow directions...

431 26 Democrats are out of their fucking minds if they actually think trying to arrest and try Trump for some bullshit process crime is going to go their way. They CANNOT be that dumb.

They just need it to tilt the midterms in their direction.

433 JJ continues to be a day late and a dollar short.

JJ wrote and posted this out-of-touch line:

“Trump is quickly taking on the mantle of leader of a movement that could very well become among the greatest political movements in history.”

If any so-called American Patriot (such as JJ) has not already realized Trump years ago became the leader of this political movement, they have their head stuck so FAR UP their backside there is no hope for them.

Even though JJ FINALLY moved out of the shit-hole known as NYC for a place where a significantly higher percentage of Based Americans live (of course, not without the typical whining and moaning of a person still firmly stuck with a New York State of Mind (and that is NOT meant as a compliment) it appears too late for him, though I hold at a little hope.

434 About the turning over the money changers tables…

And like Christ

They plan to mail President Trump to the cross

Nothing has changed in 2022 years!

Thank you and fuck you very much. I've been here since 2006 and a cob since 2015 as well as a published author, writing honestly how I feel and what I observe from my perspective.

You? You clumsily and amateurishly attempt to couch an insult with a compliment. What is your point? What are you driving at? Why do you even come here? You contribute nothing of value to the discourse except dripping your diseased tampons all over the carpeting. You make less sense than even Kurt with a comment like this.

I look forward to your hitting my tip jar.
