The Morning Report — 8/25/22

Good morning kids. First up this morning, a bit of housekeeping. Yesterday, I quoted a story from Conservative Treehouse that stated Ron DeSantis was silent about the FBI's Gestapo raid on Mar-a-Lago and expressed my concern about it. Had I bothered to do a rudimentary search, I would have found that he was among the first to immediately blast it for the cheap, banana republic bullshit that it was. Therefore, I want to apologize to the governor and more importantly to all of you. I make it a point to be as accurate as possible and when I'm wrong, I own up to it. Why the author made that assertion is for him to explain, but it's my fault for not checking its veracity before dinging DeSantis. Unlike the Taters and Bidens and Faucis of this world, I strive to get my facts straight, correct my mistakes when I am wrong, and will endeavor to be as accurate as possible going forward.

And speaking of Ron DeSantis, here's a little taste of red meat:

Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) blasted Dr. Anthony Fauci, who serves as Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and Chief Medical Advisor to President Joe Biden (D), during an event Wednesday afternoon. . .
. . . “I’m just sick of seeing him. I know he says he’s gonna retire. Someone needs to grab that little elf and chuck him across the Potomac!”

While anyone can make that statement, DeSantis is arguably more justified than almost anyone to make that statement considering his track record during the "two week" curve-flattening period wherein he protected the freedom and livelihood of Floridians from the depredations and tyranny of Biden, Whitmer, Cuomo et al.

Under Anthony Fauci's direction and recommendation, the American economy went dormant for "15 days to slow the spread" and then, upon his obstinant insistence, that 15 days was extended and extended and extended, creating economic and social impacts still felt across our nation.
Indeed, as of August 23 (the origination date of this column), 14 states were still operating under Emergency Health protocols, according to the National Academy for State Health Policy. Under Fauci's strong recommendation, states seized power and control of their citizens' rights, livelihoods and liberty in an effort to "slow the spread" a full two and a half years after Fauci's first shut-down advice.
But, remarkably, that's not the worst crime in Fauci's tawdry and shameful legacy. . .
. . . Because of Anthony Fauci, Americans have a dwindling – if non-existent – level of faith in their public health institutions. When the next "expert" stands in front of the American people to deliver information, advice and warnings about a public health issue, most of us will be skeptical and wonder if what we are hearing has been politicized. And that's Fauci's fault.
Fauci is worse than the boy who cried wolf. He's the boy who told fantastical tales about multiple wolves and wrongly advised on how to protect yourself from those wolves even after saying the wolves would cause you no harm. And now, the next time we hear about a dangerous wolf, our understandable reaction will be to ignore the warnings. And people will die.

DeSantis is wrong. Fauci shouldn't be chucked across the Potomac. He should be thrown into Kilauea, though I suspect that Pele (the Hawaiian fire goddess, not the Brazilian soccer legend) would be so revolted she'd spit him out. Lava being much less of a threat to human life. Yet, when you read that penultimate paragraph from author Larry O'Connor, beyond public health institutions like the CDC, isn't that really the story of the FBI? DOJ? DHS? EPA? IRS? And so on and so on and scoobie-doobie-doobie?

Look at the links about the FBI, from the poor schlubs who were set up and taken down in that shameless Whitmer kidnapping entrapment swindle – and the judge in that case is a complete duplicitous scumbag for sabotaging the defense counsel's ability to properly defend his clients – and now the whistleblower allegations that the FBI knew as far back as the fall of 2019 that the Hunter Biden laptop was legit and ordered the agents involved not to touch it. Aside from the damning contents, how could they have known back then that "The Big Guy" was going to be the nominee when it was still a wide-open primary and Bernie Sanders was possibly going to run away with the nomination? But I digress.

We also have the story of the EPA doing an end run around the Supreme Court and declaring CO2, the essential compound of all plant life on earth and thereby all life on earth, as a pollutant that can be regulated. And that end run is found, appropriately enough, in . . . The Inflation Reduction Act. Thank you and fuck you, Joe Manchin. You just destroyed your state's economy, unless of course all the coal in West Virginia will be shipped off to Red China while we freeze and starve to death. Oh well, as Jennifer Granholm says "let them eat solar panels!"

Lastly on this subject, here's one that would otherwise slip under the radar. The DOJ just issued an edict requiring background checks for the sale of gun parts. Just the parts. Forgetting the nature of the edict itself, this was not a law that was debated in Congress by elected officials that you ostensibly voted for and then signed into law by the president, or the braindead kohlrabi installed in that office. This is an order that has the force of law if you do not comply. And to hell with playing catch me if you can by going to the courts and waiting several years hoping that the thing gets overturned. Even if it does, you still have evil, amoral tyrants like Kathy Hochul who will ignore the ruling.

Even in all this darkness, there are some bright spots. The school board elections in Florida, for one thing. Beyond DeSantis, there is another potentially huge bright spot in of all places Texas. I know that Greg Abbott has a checkered history but what he's doing vis a vis bussing the hordes of alien invaders to the places where "sanctuary" was declared (and now denied) is brilliant.

Also, his banishing Blackrock, a major player in the Global Reset mafia is to be cheered as well as emulated in as many places as possible.

Yet this story which is also flying under the radar could possibly have major ramifications:

Video surfaced recently of Texas National Guard personnel locking a gate on private land that has been used as an access point for illegal aliens to enter the United States. Border Patrol agents then arrived and unlocked the gate, allowing approximately 25 aliens to enter freely.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott was outraged, tweeting “Unbelievable. While Texas secures the border, the federal government is enabling illegal immigration. Biden’s open border policies created this. The federal government must do its job & fix it.”
Other than the fact that yet more noncitizens were allowed to violate U.S. immigration law, the incident took place without confrontation. Another incident of this kind may not end as well.
Border Patrol is part of Customs and Border Protection (CBP), which operates under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which acts at the behest of the Biden White House. The Texas National Guard works for Abbott, an outspoken critic of Biden immigration policy who has been a thorn in the White House’s side by building border wall sections himself and very publicly bussing illegal aliens to Washington, D.C., and New York City.
This kind of situation can get ugly very quickly. The Texas National Guard stood down this time. What if next time National Guard personnel, tired of seeing their state overrun and violated, defy Border Patrol’s loose enforcement protocols and disregard for immigration law? The result could be a dangerous standoff between armed federal and state law enforcement officers.

It's all well and good that Governor Abbott was "outraged" and yet he allowed what is a rogue federal government to endanger the lives of not just Texans but in fact American citizens in general. Not that America as founded exists anymore. The actions of the CBP right there are proof positive, as if the Mar-a-Lago raid, stolen elections and all the rest since 2020 and before then aren't.

Can Abbott call up his National Guard to reinforce local authorities and politely suggest to the CBP to get off his lawn, so to speak? More to the point, will Abbott do something like that? I tend to doubt it but he has upped the ante in this confrontation with the junta and its allies like Eric Adams and Muriel Bowser. He has the political wind at his back in Texas and really across most of America with this issue. Recent polls show that Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants' open borders is viewed by a huge majority as an invasion.

This is potentially a huge flashpoint. It should be.

24 Posted in Pixy's thread, relevant to this one:

...it is a good time to begin accepting that the United States as you knew and understood it is gone, and it can't be brought back through laws any more than the left can make EVs work. Even if Trump and Desantis have 12 years, that can't shape society. It can fix laws and bring justice to some people maybe, but half the country still wants to hack up kids and take your money to pay for little Suzy's Art History doctorate. That mentality can't change easily if ever. That's generational.

I don't know what is coming, but it's not good. And the politicians are playing for keeps to make sure we get there.

38 The DOJ just issued an edict requiring background checks for the sale of gun parts. Just the parts. Forgetting the nature of the edict itself, this was not a law that was debated in Congress by elected officials that you ostensibly voted for and then signed into law by the president, or the braindead kohlrabi installed in that office. This is an order that has the force of law if you do not comply. And to hell with playing catch me if you can by going to the courts and waiting several years hoping that the thing gets overturned.

If gender studies or comparative French literature experiences a drop in demand, universities lose positions, lose administrative staff and income for salaries, junkets, and misc bullshit. The enrollment drops = income drops and they will fight it.

And now, the next time we hear about a dangerous wolf, our understandable reaction will be to ignore the warnings.

I think it's slightly worse than that. "Fantastical tales?" No. They were lies. He's the boy who *lied* about the wolf. He's the boy who said there was a 25 foot long superwolf with razor teeth that could outrun a car, climb a tree or tunnel into your basement and had an unquenchable bloodlust. It turned out to be a mangy, aggressive, but likely non-fatal stray dog.

I used to think that the public health experts were usually pessimistic and wrong. Now I know that they're not - they're just lying. They have zero credibility. They can try to *enforce* responses to their warnings in the future, but they will find little appetite for voluntary cooperation. And yes, if it turns out that they're right for once (if they are, it is merely by accident), things will be worse for it and bodycounts will be higher.

The grads with the good salaries had them because they got MBA or law degrees from Chicago or Yale, not because of sociology/philosophy at MSU. There are few jobs for BA philosophers.

103 98 They didn't need to know, and probably didn't. There's no need to layer even more conspiracy onto it because the answer is likely much simpler. It was Joe Biden and his family. Joe Biden was a Dem candidate and a long-time Washington power player in branches, always in the right party. Hell, even if Biden had not even been a candidate, they probably would have covered it up for him.

104 Video surfaced recently of Texas National Guard personnel locking a gate on private land that has been used as an access point for illegal aliens to enter the United States. Border Patrol agents then arrived and unlocked the gate, allowing approximately 25 aliens to enter freely.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott was outraged, tweeting “Unbelievable. While Texas secures the border, the federal government is enabling illegal immigration. Biden’s open border policies created this. The federal government must do its job & fix it.”

Arrest them on site. If they resist, shoot. They're committing crimes against the United States and violating the 10th amendment, among other things. It's an act of war.

This is an inaccurate gloss of what the 2020 Democratic primary was.

The establishment could have hitched onto Biden early and ended things pretty quickly. They didn't. They first went with Kamala, then Warren, then Beto, then Buttigieg (who won Iowa!). They didn't want Biden, but he just simply didn't go away, stayed a second-tier candidate right around Bernie, and when it was obvious that Bernie was going to war of attrition his way to a victory against a crowded field, the Democrat establishment went with the only option available to them left: Biden.

172 The polls of PA in 2016 in August showed Hillary winning by between 5 and 10. She lost by 1.

Were they accurate at the time and things just changed, or is polling intentionally broken, used to craft narratives? Is this new, or has it been going on for decades?

Posted by: TheJamesMadison

Polling is coordinated with the uniparty, to try and shape opinion, and to match the fraudulent result. Luntz essentially admitted this in 2020. Their polling numbers are massaged to try and match the final numbers, assuming the fake ballots are counted.

190 This is a silly first world problem, but it just shows how far gone we are as a culture.

"Bon appetit" is a foodie magazine. I don't have a subscription, but have downloaded a few recipes from their website and liked them well enough that I signed up for their free email with magazine articles and recipes.

Over the last week, they've suddenly gone all silly woketard with stuff like racist ranting how all white people's food is just bland glop covered in mayonnaise and the bland, stupid white people never use spices and if you eat white people food how it is so soul destroyingly bland.

Or, another gem about you can tell how black a black person is by how much pork they eat because pork is central to the black identity because pork was forced on them by racism but pork eating has been taken back and is now a proud part of the black identity.

Just mind-bogglingly stupid stuff of no use to anyone except the Masturbatory Dopamine Dose the lame-ass writers got from their Virtue Signaling.

Anywho, I won't be "upgrading" to a subscription.

August or so of 2020 had a bunch of BLM sh*t and "How to riot" articles. I was furious. I watched a magazine about making neat and challenging stuff - often with or for your kids - and coding to make things you created with wood and plastic do what you want in unexpected ways turned into "carry this in your backpack to throw at cops" and arts and crafts paint and fabric bullsh*t because not enough girls want to create weather stations from scratch.

They’re decidedly unconcerned about a parent’s right to ensure that their gender nonconforming child is safe at school, for instance, or that their immunocompromised child is protected from Covid. Rather, the Moms who are for Liberty have mobilized around parental concerns that are decidedly conservative. They want to excise lessons on systemic racism, LGBTQ-friendly books, accommodations for transgender students, and Covid mitigations like vaccine and mask mandates. They want to defend the Second Amendment rights that have allowed school shooters to obtain weapons. They work toward these goals with an unflagging spirit of good cheer"

I see a potential parallel with the British Empire in the late 1770s. No one could dare challenge the British navy. It was the greatest fleet in the world. No one would challenge until some farmers in the American colonies realized that the British couldn't send all of their ships, only some of them. Their numbers meant less when they could only send a fraction of the overall force.

I've watched this quite a bit. Like a lot of real life things, I think it's a variety of factors. Yep, you can take a "neutral" person, drop them in a city, and watch that urban lifestyle change that person over the years. I happen to live near a city that, because of two simultaneous policies of bussing and anexation, gave me the chance to watch exactly that.

But I've also come to believe that living in a city also displays a personal choice. I've met very few that lack the means to leave a city. I have, however, met thousands that chose not to. They accept the urban insanity in exchange for convenience. That tells me something about their priorities, which tells me quite a bit about them.

242 Ask me no questions and I will tell you no lies.

All those charged have prior murder or sexual offense convictions, which means they cannot vote in Florida unless they receive clemency. All of the defendants also submitted voter registration applications, which were approved by local election officials, ahead of the 2020 election, and several said they had received voter registration cards in the mail, which they took as a signal that they were eligible to vote.
The defendants are all charged with at least one count of false swearing on a voter registration application and voting as an unqualified elector, both third-degree felonies punishable by up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine. In order to get a conviction, prosecutors will have to prove the defendants knew they were ineligible when they registered and voted. They have yet to submit any evidence showing the defendants were explicitly warned their specific felonies barred them from voting.

Assuming the former is true (it isn't - white people generally ain't afraid of spice. Hell, they conquered the world to ensure access to it), why is it a bad thing? Is non-spiced food inherently inferior? Isn't this a racially-motivated argument that is dismissive of entire cultures due to ethnocentrism? Of course it is. That's sort of the point.

Second, pork is central to many Asian diets, too. Are Asians black? What about white folk who eat a lot of pork because it's cheap, nutritious and tasty (count me in!)? Are they black now, too? Or is it only pork-based soul food that's black? How racist is that?

268 Saint of the day:
St. Genesius of Rome (d. 303 AD) was the leader of a popular acting troupe during the reign of Emperor Diocletian. Genesius wrote plays to mock Christians and expose their rites to ridicule. To research for a play mocking baptism, he went to a priest pretending to desire the sacraments and was fully instructed as a catechumen. On performance day the Emperor was present. Genesius played the lead character seeking baptism as a farce. As the water was poured over Genesius' head by an actor, Genesius saw a vision of heaven and the hand of God touching him. At that moment Genesius' heart was changed by the Holy Spirit and he believed in the truth of Christianity. At the end of the play Genesius boldly declared his new faith. He implored the audience to follow Christ. The crowd thought this was part of the performance, but then understood it was real and Genesius was seized. The Emperor, furious, subjected him to cruel tortures to make him renounce his faith in Christ. He refused and was beheaded. The Christians collected him and buried him with the other martyrs. St. Genesius is the patron saint of comedians, dancers, actors, musicians, printers, and torture victims.

It's just bad luck! The global elites didn't bring an end to the age of abundance. They didn't stand atop of a cornucopia of a world and start swinging their axes. Nobody *did* anything to foul everything up. It's just bad luck. It's the end of an era but nobody ended it. The lurching series of crises that escalate in their damage and danger aren't precipitated by the policies, rules, behaviors or other operations of the people in charge - they are just manifesting spontaneously. There is no compounding rot accumulating throughout a system due to anyone's actions or decisions, it's just "happening" for no reason at all.

My understanding is that the owner of the property cooperates with the Border Patrol and the Texas authorities. Tough spot to be in when armed men show up to request the key to the gate.

And, politely, I hold the same opinion in regard to any naïve views post-2020.

You watched Biden at his first Executive Order signing asking "What am I signing?" and the unknown person bark back "Just sign it."

Those same people coordinated the election. It's silly to believe they didn't coordinate the primaries.

It's the RTFM thing (read the fucking manual), even if you honestly don't know enough to understand which man pages are relevant, or can't decipher the always terse explanations, you'll get the shit attitude. It's even worse the dev community. Dare to ask the wrong std::unique_ptr question on stackoverflow and watch the jackals jump. But kudos for being a linux user.

It my actual area of expertise - computer storage - it is in some ways even worse and the flame wars over things like synchronous I/O handing and abort handlers make me shake my damn head.

This all got decided in the courts about a decade ago, when Arizona tried to enforce the border and the Supreme Court said that the federal government had supremacy, including to do nothing if they wanted to do nothing. What the states can do about it is pretty limited.

I'm not one of those who talks lightly about a CWII. However, this may be the way to avoid it. Someone, somewhere, has to stand up to a lawless regime, even if it's contrary to the current, (unenforced) laws.

411 "The Fed Govt does not get the option of picking what duties it is to perform." Yes, it does. Who we elect (or "elect") to office matters. The Canadian border has been largely unsecured for its entire existence and no one objects.

For most of our history the Mexican border was mostly unsecured -- we would send an occasional cavalry patrol into Mexico to chase a bandido. The 30 million illegals, mostly from the south (although there are also millions of Asian and Africans) is a new development that should be addressed militarily, not with border patrol. Trump is the first president to make any attempt to deal with it realistically, although I would argue that what got done under the first Trump Administration was far too little.

444 With regard to the CTH article, I believe the author was factually correct in saying that DeSantis tweeted once about the raid and then went silent on that subject for several days.

But what the author reads into that fact--concluding that DeSantis has been assimilated by the GOP establishment Borg, and is now the establishment's tool for thwarting a Trump return to the White House--is a huge stretch. There's any number of reasons why that could have happened, from the ordinary duties of his office, to the then-pending primary elections in which he was energetically supporting candidates.

I'm a Floridian, and I will admit that I was hoping he'd be more vocal on the raid, and was disappointed that he wasn't. But, again, drawing grand conclusions from that one tiny data point is a big stretch, and I'm not going to let that detract from what he's delivered in four superlative years as governor.

446 "But what the author reads into that fact--concluding that DeSantis has been assimilated by the GOP establishment Borg, and is now the establishment's tool"

I have been reading CTH for a longtime (actually on a recommendation from this site), and I will say that Sundance is right more often then he is wrong. And he is also right, way ahead of the mainstream conservative blogs. That said, I believe his argument is that DeSantis is being positioned by the GOPe as a spoiler to Trump. He is not independently wealthy, like Trump, and therefore needs the help of the "Club" for his Presidential asperations. And he has them! Therefore, it is only natural that they will exert some control over him. How much? That is to be determined. However, the evidence cited is more then just the one tweet (from a non-official Gov twitter account), but the marketing and ad production already underway. I don't want to dismiss DeSantis but the glory of Trump is that no one owns him, ever. That is an exceedingly rare quality in any Politician.
