The Morning Report — 8/19/22

Good morning, kids. The weekend is here and even in the face of what's going on you've got to take a few moments to have a good laugh. First, in the wake of CNN's shitcanning of Mr. Goody-Good/Mr. Potato-Head hybrid, yammering yam Brian Stetler, Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon once again steps up with the absolute last word:

“Hey @brianstelter, would you be interested in working for the Bee?”
“We’re looking for talent with experience putting out funny fake news. You come highly recommended. Shoot me a DM if you’re interested!”

All things considered, that right there approaches "Take my wife. Please!" territory, if not for brevity then certainly in context. Then there's the most recent Tweets from President Trump, endorsing some of his most bitter and deranged enemies from the Democrat side of the imaginary aisle. First, frog-faced Carolyn Maloney, who has been forced to face off against lumbering leftist lipid mass Jerry Nadler, and scumbag shyster Dan Goldman who was the lead (or a lead) attorney in the shampeachment circus. But Trump tops himself by "getting behind" everyone's favorite mastoid Marxist Mensa candidate Alexandria "Titty Caca" Ocasio-Cortez.

"Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who some call AOC for short, is again running for Congress, NY-14, and I am thrilled to give her my Endorsement. Even though every one of her ideas, such as the Green New Deal, are terrible and would be a disaster for America, AOC is a great addition to Congress."
Referencing the popular “Blonde AOC” memes, the former president then advised the congresswoman to dye her hair a lighter shade.
“We need a few more AOCs in Congress, if we’re being completely honest. Many people are saying that she should consider going blonde, and after seeing that picture, I have to agree. Take it from me, Alexandria, blondes have more fun!” he concluded.

Aside from the hilarity of the trolling, a couple of things come to mind. I mean, here's Donald Trump. A man who has been put through the ringer for the past seven years and no matter what happens down the pike will continue to be put through the ringer for the rest of his life (and don't think they aren't thinking of ways to end it) by what is now a massive, tyrannical junta that sees him as their number one nemesis. Yet, despite the latest outrage of a Gestapo raid on his residence, he still has time and presence of mind to engage in master-level trolling. He's either in complete denial of what he's up against or else he's got one set of "yuuuge" brass balls.

As for, Titty-Caca, there was an article within the last few weeks warning about laughing at fools like her, drawing the inevitable comparison to those who laughed at a failed Viennese housepainter nearly 100 years ago. While I certainly agree with that warning (despite my homophone appellation that is a paean to a famed South American lake describing her décolletage and what emanates from her mouth), none other than leftist deity himself Saul Alinsky made humor and ridicule one of his top "rules" for going after one's political enemies. These days, what passes for humor from so-called "comedians" like Colbert, Kimmel et al goes down harder than Kamala Harris during Fleet Week. Hence, the banning, censorship, de-platforming and blacklisting of anything that is not 100% pure leftist. Especially humor since the first requirement of being funny is that there is at least a grain of truth in it.

That's why whatever one's feelings about Trump as a potential candidate in '24, there's no denying that even in the face of what has rapidly devolved to nothing short of state-sponsored political terrorism against him, his family, his friends and supporters, and in reality all of us, that he still sends out Tweets like this and is obviously relishing it I think scares the junta right down to Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants' soiled Depends. These bastards — these evil bastards who stole our country and then scapegoat us for their sins — will stop at nothing now to seize and maintain absolute power. Trump's power to motivate and captivate has not diminished one iota. He's close to batting 1.000 in his endorsements in the run-up to the midterms. The absolute shellacking of Liz-ard Cheney looms large in that it is a rejection of GOP establishment stoogery and a ringing endorsement of the America first agenda.

Funny how all those who from the merely passive-aggressive to the full on frothing at the mouth Never-Trumpers who constantly harp about "character" and "mean Tweets" I think have got that absolutely wrong. I think this trolling of Maloney, Goldman and Titty-Caca is revelatory in what the enemy fears most about him. I think humor like this has the potential to destroy them insofar as perhaps even more than policy successes, the pantsing and exposure of these emperors with no clothes as the frauds and clowns they truly are will be their ultimate undoing. Am I reading too much into this? Maybe, maybe not.

What I do know is that while we laugh at Titty-Caca and Stetler and their ilk, individuals like Michael Hayden have now all but called for the liquidation of two thirds of the citizenry. Unlike Billy Ayers who fantasized about having to wipe out upwards of 25 million of us who refuse to be absorbed, Michael Hayden is not on the lam in a Greenwich Village basement making Molotov cocktails and pipe bombs. Michael Hayden held the top slot in the Corporation and he is still a member in good standing. He and everyone who thinks like him control our government virtually lock, stock and barrel, top to bottom, inside out.

Should we ridicule him, and them, or take them at their word? Both.

Have a good weekend.

"They could have managed the shock if it only involved the government. But the behavior of the press is what radicalized them. Trump supporters have more contempt for journalists than they have for any politician or government official, because they feel most betrayed by them. The idea that the corporate press is driven by ratings and sensationalism has become untenable over the last several years. If that were true, there’d be a microphone in the face of every executive branch official demanding to know what the former Secretary of Labor meant when he said that Jeffrey Epstein “belonged to intelligence.” The corporate press is the propaganda arm of the Regime these people are now seeing in outline. Nothing anyone says will ever make them unsee that, period.."...

The Policy Director, a trouble-glasses-wearing Monique Meese, has resigned, saying that she won't work with Chuck because he "questioned the integrity of this office." She expects others to resign as well. Buh-Bye.

Rather, it is one that relies more on the natural self-correcting mechanisms of open, competitive, and well-regulated markets.

Medicaid healthcare outcomes in many state are worse than the healthcare of those 100% uninsured. And what part of the almost $2 Trillion owed by former students will ever be repaid??

117 ||MEXICO CITY -- Nicaraguan police on Friday raided the residence of a Roman Catholic bishop who is an outspoken critic of President Daniel Ortega's government, apparently detaining the senior clergyman and several other priests holed up inside for two weeks after police set up a cordon.

The pre-dawn raid came as Nicaraguan authorities had earlier accused Matagalpa Diocese Bishop Rolando Álvarez of allegedly "organizing violent groups" and inciting them "to carry out acts of hate against the population."||

More idiotic deference to fraudulent "journalists," another lost opportunity. When I see one of our politicians jump on a reporter with total, humiliating ferocity and facts and not let him or her up to breathe, I'll know the tide has turned.

I go back and forth on this. She's grossly unprofessional and clearly doesn't take her job as PM seriously. This means one of two things:
1. Finland is in danger because her head of government is an indifferent party animal who doesn't take the job seriously
2. Finland is in no particular danger (beyond the problems with the model itself, which are manifest) because her government is actually run by a deep state politburo like ours.

If it's the latter, then I actually like her behavior. If the head of government is a mere title with no power because an unchecked bureaucracy is running everything, then treat the office with the respect it deserves.

Don't forget they lied as soon as Trump said his campaign had been spied on, by claiming it wasn't and that that was preposterous. If that wasn't a big enough cluebat for someone to know the whole thing was a political operation and a scam, then I don't know what to tell you.

Right. I dig this distinction. In our republican system, the head of government and head of state is the same office and it is also important - on paper. In reality, as we know, the office is actively subverted by if it does not follow the orders of the politburo that actually runs things.

Trump is trying. He's trying to get enough loyal GOP senators in who will vote for Rick Scott instead of Mitch McConnell for the leadership role next time.

Any realistic goal is to simply deny McConnell the votes for a majority (I'm pretty sure this is just of the caucus, not of the whole Senate like the Speakership in the House), which seems like a longshot at best. With 53 GOP senators, McConnell would only need to win 27 of them when he's been leading them for about 15 years and spread around a lot of money.

186 Trump supporters had gone from worrying the collusion might be real, to suspecting it might be fake, to seeing proof that it was all a scam.
----------
Maybe I give "us" too much credit but I am fairly certain "we" knew it was a scam from jump.
Not a single person I know thought this was anything but a cooked up charge to "get" Trump. Is that because we're all blinded by our support, or because we knew what we were up against long ago...?
*

I think that's from the article I linked. It sounds like it, at least. Sorry if I'm jumping to a wrong conclusion.
It's neat how it can be discussed regardless, I guess.

They're not talking about us news junkies. It's talking about the more casual folks. I liked how he tied it together that if sensationalism was what was selling newspapers (or TV shows) then there would be reporting on Hunters laptop, Epstein, etc. Except there never was. And that's when normal people began putting it together.

The article is well worth a read.

"Let’s remember that stories of Trump being pissed on by Russian prostitutes and blackmailed by Putin were promoted as fact across the media spectrum and used as the basis for a multi-year criminal investigation, when the only evidence was a document paid for by his opposition and disavowed by its primary source.

The reaction of Trump supporters to all this was not, “no fair!” That was how they felt about Romney’s “binders of women” in 2012 or Harry Reid’s lie that Romney paid no federal taxes. This is different. Now they were beginning to see, accurately, that the institutions of their country — all of them — had been captured by people prepared to use any means to exclude them from the political process..."

246 GatewayPundit:

The list of recusals on the Trump RICO suit is sizable. The first magistrate judge to be assigned recused the day after the case was filed in March 2022. Epstein related Judge Reinhart was put on the case as a replacement magistrate judge in April because his predecessor had also recused. Since Reinhart, three additional magistrate judges have recused themselves (1, 2, and 3). The current magistrate judge, Patrick M. Hunt, has been on the case for only about five weeks now.

It’s important to note that the day before Reinhart recused himself (June 21, 2022), The president’s counsel filed an amended complaint. The original complaint was entered in March 2022; the amended complaint almost doubled the number of facts asserted in evidence. Many of the claims of facts in the amended complaint came from John Durham’s court filings (which made it difficult for the plaintiffs to deny their validity).

251 I'm sure the basis for the MAL warrant was BS. But I once again feel that we are chasing (or being dangled) a shiny object.

To parse the strength of the supporting Affidavit is to get into the elements of various potential crimes (legal issues) and the state of mind (subjective good/bad faith) of the investigators and Magistrate. Of course there was manifest bad faith all around, yet that is too complicated a story to get through the MSM walls of agitprop for too many.

The obvious point, which is already apparent on the face of the warrant is its complete overbreadth: purporting to have the right to search/seize every document generated during DJT's 4 years in office. That is to say, they have a "warrant" to take and comb through all his Presidential papers, notes, musings, diaries, future book drafts, emails etc for a four year period.

If this is not an outrageous "general warrant" (puretrolling for any crime) as prohibited in the Constitution, nothing is.

Any real Judge would be ordering a hearing right now for the government to show cause why this is not a grossly unconstitutional general warrant.

Not just remove, but directly appoint. Here in Pennsylvania it would guarantee two (R) Senators. In fact, most states. The Senate would be something like 70(R)-30(D). I could live with that. The ability to impeach a President and remove him from office with a 2/3rds vote without breaking a sweat.

You'll not hear any of that talk from us. Never did. For example, I was in favor of invading Afghanistan, killing a whole lot of Pashtun soldiers and every Arab we could find, and then leaving. While departing the country, my policy would be to shake my finger at the remaining women, children and old people while saying "don't make us come here again".

258 Maybe I give "us" too much credit but I am fairly certain "we" knew it was a scam from jump.
Not a single person I know thought this was anything but a cooked up charge to "get" Trump. Is that because we're all blinded by our support, or because we knew what we were up against long ago...?

It wasn't being blinded. It was a combination of knowing how bad/partisan/biased the media is, knowing how low the democrats/hillary are willing to go, knowing how bad the GOPe is . . . and . . . most importantly . . .

The collusion claim was so absurd from the start nobody with a clue could possibly have believed it was true. There was nothing in the "collusion" story that was remotely believable or credible. I still don't believe that anyone who claimed to believe it actually believed it. Because to have believed it was to admit you are an absolute and utter idiot with no ability to engage in logic or rational thought.

And - if Russia was ever going to collude with anyone - it would have been with Hillary who wanted to "reset" relations with Russia after Obama . . .

I've come to the conclusion that universal suffrage will always ultimately fail because the vast majority of people aren't very bright, don't understand basic concepts like economics or math or human nature, and will always vote to "give" themselves more free stuff. So, universal suffrage democracies (or republics) will always devolve into idiocy and destroy themselves.

there should be a means test, a knowledge test, and an intelligence test to earn the privilege to vote. Voting should be limited to people in the top 40% of intelligence and knowledge who are not dependent on the gov't (including gov't employment).

I think repealing the 17th would actually make things worse now. It'd have been far better if it had never been made part of the Constitution.

Before the passage, states were addicted to federal government funding. They are now. Senators would be sent with instructions to get more for the state and nothing else. Any senator that fought that would get replaced real fast. And, remember, your state legislature is probably more corrupt than the federal Congress. You just don't know about it and it involves less money.

Yeah, if you want to send people to Congress who stay independent of leadership, they need to be able to at least fund themselves without relying on organizations like the RSCC. That doesn't necessarily mean independent wealth, just independent financing somehow.

If you want a movement of people, you need an independent fundraising network that builds loyalty among snakes for their own livelihood. I understand that this is something that Trump is doing.

Their story has to move closer to what the affidavit said. And that it was based on Maggie's lie that Trump was flushing classified docs. So, they have to get people believing the lie is true before their source is exposed.

we are going to create jobs by increasing taxes!! We are going to grow the economy by increasing taxes and increasing regulations and reducing the supply of oil and gas!!!

We are going to lower the deficit and the debt by increasing spending!!! We are going to make public schools better by having them focus on race and transgenderism!!! That will increase reading and math scores!!!!

We are going to make communities safer by not prosecuting crimes or requiring bail!!!

When buying a used car, that $70 to a mechanic is some of the best money you'll ever spend. They'll check compression, look at suspension, etc.

If you're asking about it I'd highly recommend calling around and finding someone who will do a drop in appointment during a test drive. Tell the seller he can have the documents if you don't buy it, and run like hell if he won't agree to a pre purchase inspection at a shop of your choosing.

I have a late GenX acquaintance, female and single, with whom I communicated on a regular basis up to just before the 2020 election. She seemed solid and in control of her life at that time.

I reestablished contact with her about six months ago. She'd become a cat-shit crazy cat lady during the interval and seemingly a recluse, although still employed. Nearly everything she posts online is cat, cat, cat. It has been out and out odd to have witnessed this transformation.

390 If you can find a Honda with about 200,000 miles on it you should be able to get it at around $5000 to $6000 dollars. It will last for at least another 100k miles too with minimal maintenance.

391 373 My wife noted the passing of the "muscle" cars from Dodge yesterday and actually said we should buy one.

I haven't the room, but....

A Challenger with the Hellcat package would be interesting. And horribly expensive.

Go big or go home.

They will not put the 392 Hemi in the Ram platform. Sure the TRX is great but $$$. The 392 make 485 HP with no supercharger. Alas, it can be had in the 2500 platform!

401 I have a late GenX acquaintance, female and single, with whom I communicated on a regular basis up to just before the 2020 election. She seemed solid and in control of her life at that time.

I reestablished contact with her about six months ago. She'd become a cat-shit crazy cat lady during the interval and seemingly a recluse, although still employed. Nearly everything she posts online is cat, cat, cat. It has been out and out odd to have witnessed this transformation.

402 Looks like democrats are trying to prep the public for the senatorial steal...

It's almost impossible to rig congressional elections. The districts are too small to have the election apparatus go against the overall tenor of the public. However, in senate elections, one overwhelmingly democrat district can stuff the ballots and come up with 105% voter participation for the leftist candidate. So, the media is now trying to normalize the idea that the house is going to go republican but the senate is staying (or even going deeper) blue.

I remember his election in 2014. The polls had it real close in the final days. The RNC spent real money on it.

He won by 17%. The polls were lies.

411 Honestly, the best truck you could buy would be a 1988 Isuzu Trooper big four. Just rebuild the engine and get rid of the aluminum head for an iron head. Simple, reliable light truck that lasts forever. Unfortuneately, most were bought (or stolen) used and sent to South America where they are still in use.

My father's car from '65 to about '72 was a '66 Super Sport Impala, beige over cream/gold vinyl, AM radio, auto transmission, good A/C. I dunno which engine he had in it, and he was never one to drive on the Interstate anyway. But I drove it once. Smooth beast.

420 Good morning. If anyone is interested, Crowder was suspended from youtube for two weeks, after interviewing Kari Lake. Evidently, Kari's wrong think about the 2020 election, which Kari mentioned during her interview, was enough to get Crowder suspended.

So, naturally, Kari came back the next day, for an unscripted interview with Mr. Crowder.

both interviews are available on Rumble.
