The Morning Report — 9/28/22

Good morning kids. Wednesday and if you needed an indicator that America as it was or how you imagined it is no more — as if stolen elections, organized political terrorism and official state persecution, rigged elections, an intentionally engineered economic collapse, censorship, and cultural dissolution and depravity didn't do the trick — maybe this might give you a hint that something is rotten in the state of Denmark. As a category 4 hurricane is bearing down on the Gulf Coast, Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants Biden spoke with a number of elected officials in the storm's projected path, but refused to talk with Ron Desantis.

The putative "president" of the United States ignoring the governor of Florida as millions of citizens face a potentially massive natural disaster. Wow. Finally, word came down from the Junta's mush-mouthed, Malveaux-muff-diving, mop-topped Marxist mouthpiece that the two finally did connect, though I imagine the conversation must have been a bit one-sided. Perhaps that was the reason Biden was prevented from "talking" with DeSantis because the former's handlers feared the latter would make the most of what undoubtedly had to be nothing more than enduring the inchoate ravings of a demented vegetable.

But I fear it's much more than just that. Florida stands in sharp contrast to the unnatural manmade disaster that is Democrat-controlled America. That is, the DeSantis miracle vs the Biden catastrophe of the past 20 months. Even worse to contemplate, but given the blood-libeling from the Junta and its followers of red state America, Biden couldn't be seen to talk with DeSantis on anything perceived to be common ground. During situations like this, politics is supposed to be completely out of the picture; at the water's edge during time of war, as it were. But we're now at war with each other.

Take it a step further: Biden and the Junta are actually rooting for Hurricane Ian to leave behind the maximum amount of death and destruction in its wake, as a means to ding DeSantis, their perceived foe going into 2024. Worse, if it harms thousands of people whom they regard as lower than dog shit on the bottom of their shoes, even better. The Left has done this like clockwork whenever natural disasters hit red state American communities, mocking the concept of God's will, so you can bet your ass they're praying for a hit, to whatever golden calf, tree, or Moloch-du-jour they worship.

I've often stated that post the stolen election of 2020 and overthrow of the last vestige of America as founded, we're in some sort of interregnum; a zombie-like state wherein we have the illusion of regular order even as everything crashes and burns around us. Take the notion of what is supposed to be a standard call between a president and a governor during a natural disaster and look at how DeSantis was treated. Now, put that in context with Joey's Independence Hall Nuremberg Rally speech wherein he condemned half the country as traitors and insurrectionists, a cancer that needs to be eradicated, "a clear and present danger." How the hell is Biden (if he even lasts that long) supposed to get up on national television walk to the middle of a stage and shake Ron DeSantis' hand before the first presidential debate? Now imagine instead of DeSantis, it's Donald Trump.

As you ponder that scenario, there are encouraging signs everywhere, not least of which Ron DeSantis himself with his genius Alinskyite tactic of shipping illegal aliens directly to a Leftist heart of darkness and exposing them as the racist hypocrites they are. Another one that I don't want to get lost in the sauce are the flashes of sanity occurring on the European continent. First, in Sweden and now in Italy with the election of Giorgia Meloni, the country's first female PM and more importantly, a Savonarola who is giving them hell over there. And as Harry Truman explained, "I don't give them hell. I give them the truth and they think it's hell."

“The issue of individual freedom, private enterprise in economy, educational freedom, the centrality of family and its role in our society, the protection of borders from unchecked immigration, the defense of the Italian national identity -- these are the matters that we preoccupy ourselves with.” Of course, she’s very firm on her beliefs and principles. As she said at CPAC 2022:

“We (conservatives) are proud of our identities, of what we stand for. We live in an age where everything it stands for is under attack: our individual freedom is under attack, our rights are under attack, the sovereignty of our nations is under attack, the prosperity and well-being of our families is under attack, our children’s education is under attack. Faced with this, people understand that in this era, the only way to be rebellious is to preserve who we are, the only way to be rebellious is to be conservative. […] I see cancel culture fanatics in our institutions tearing down statues, tempering with books and comics, changing street names, accusing a shared history that they would like to rewrite. […] All of you in America and we in Europe, and our friends on all the other continents, are proud of our identities, of what we stand for. And we know that our opponent is operating globally, applying the same tactics and with the same ideology, to destroy our identities and what makes us who we truly are. […] Only a few months ago, European bureaucrats wrote a document, hundreds of pages long, telling us that in order to be inclusive we have to exclude all references to Christmas, Jesus, Mary and that all Christian names should be removed from all communications.”
Meloni concluded her speech with a quote from G.K. Chesterton, “’Fires will be kindled to testify that two and two make four. Swords will be drawn to prove that leaves are green in summer.’ The time of that battle has come, but they will find us ready for the battle.” . . .
. . . It is well known that Meloni is not alone on this path. Apart from her closeness to Hungary’s Viktor Orban, she is the president of the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR), a political group in the European Parliament established in 2009 under the founding principles of the Prague Declaration. It includes Poland’s ruling Law and Justice party as well as center-right parties on the rise in countries like Spain (Vox) and Sweden (Sweden Democrats -- which after the results of the 2022 Swedish general election is the largest member of Sweden’s conservative bloc and the second largest party in the next Swedish parliament -- and Independent).

To be sure, there are significant differences between us and Europe's "conservatives" but putting aside the tortured appellations that have been abused and debased by so many, as well as differing world views between us and them, Meloni and others like her both here and abroad know and understand that the wolf is now at our throat. While the lights for sure are going out all over Europe, and here, the alarm bells are ringing loudly and it appears, I pray, more and more of us are responding. Please God.

28 Biden and the Junta are actually rooting for Hurricane Ian to leave behind the maximum amount of death and destruction in its wake, as a means to ding DeSantis, their perceived foe going into 2024.

I'd like to see Meat Puppet deny this truth. Please ask him, someone...Oh, wait! The Propaganda Press refuses to do its job, opting instead for political activism on behalf of their fascist masters.

57 Eric Adams took his ridiculous self to Puerto Rico, expressing support for the corrupt politicians there as they build their scam operation up and get ready to receive the money gusher of hurricane relief.

The Mayor did one nutty thing after another, but this takes the cake: he referred to Puerto Rico as a foreign country, when Puerto Rico is a US territory and PR citizens are also US citizens.

"When I walked with that polo shirt with MAYOR on the back of it and went in those different locations, you have looked at the faces of people. That this city was saying to people that they matter," Adams said, "That means so much to people outside of this country and those who are part of are locations around the globe.

64 Something I was thinking about on the drive in this morning:

-The Alamo
-Canae
-Bastogne
-Custer's Last Stand

Most guys I have ever talked to about these knows what I am talking about. The heroic last stand- even if you did something stupid to get there (Canae and Custer for example.) They cause dude's eyes to light up. It fires something deep within us. And the futile defeats even more so than the victories. I am not trying to disparage women, I am not sure how they respond to this, but the few times I have brought up these situations, the response has not been as near universal as when you discuss it with guys.

I was thinking about this in the context of Rings of Power (as well as other modern, mary sue properties.) I do not think the writers would have the same reaction if you asked them about these (after you had to explain what happened in each case.) They have a fundamental misunderstanding of what fires people's passions. They do not understand that one of the reasons you make a character flawed or lose is because you see the mettle of a Man in how he faces defeat or death. It speaks to us. Rings true. Inspires us.

But if they don't possess such possibilities, they don't really care. Freezing Europeans are less of a problem in their eyes than an independent Russia amassing wealth and influence.

The western hegemony, if forced to choose between seeing influence slipping away and destroying lives and killing people, will always choose the latter.

105 As fuel prices reached historic highs, Biden stubbornly refused to do anything that would increase domestic supply, opting instead to buy fuel from overseas before eventually raiding the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. It was a foolish thing to do, and while gas prices have gone down, the impact of raiding the reserves is debatable. But one thing is for sure: Biden depleted the reserves, which are now at a 37-year low, to boost his poll numbers.

Amazingly, I don't think most citizens understand this truth.

Price increases are a certainty, after election day, and pray America doesn't need the SPR between now and the years ahead of replenishment that will be necessary to undo the Biden damage.

They have a fundamental misunderstanding of what fires people's passions. They do not understand that one of the reasons you make a character flawed or lose is because you see the mettle of a Man in how he faces defeat or death. It speaks to us. Rings true. Inspires us.

Bronwynn's speech in Rings of Power when she tries to fire up a crowd of untrained, unarmed peasants was laughably stupid. Queen Regent Muriel's speech to rally the Numenoreans was just as dumb. The writers have no clue how narratives are supposed to work.

I think that's a good assessment. Politics rules all now. Even some of the late-night shows have been getting in on the action, cracking jokes about the Florida hurricane. Oh, they start or finish with mock sincerity about the dangers and exhortations to be careful, but the real point is the mockery.

The other problem, also political but less existential, is that DeSantis has been doing a good job. Setting up evacuation orders and plans, getting out in front of the coming problem, encouraging people to be responsible and making efforts to keep and maintain the peace. DeSantis has been the vision of competence so far. What could Biden do that would make Biden look better? This ain't New Orleans in 2008, ruled by incompetence and indifference.

114 In many ways, the western oligarchs view Latinos and continental Africans to be superior citizens.

They have no concepts of intrinsic rights, constitutionality or history.

They rapidly shift in most areas from one strong man regime to the next. No messy court challenges to deal with, no demands for basic human liberties.

Just uneducated, survival-focused, effectively borderline retarded individuals who will work slavish hours for low compensation.

When viewed through the lens of what makes for desirable human livestock, they are infinitely more attractive than the freedom living Anglo-Saxon descendant.

When a disaster hits the interior, it is either ignored or mocked. The one counter-example I can think of is the tornado that ripped through Kentucky and leveled a whole town. Other than that, they either don't cover disasters or make fun of the rubes who got caught in them.

125 In all seriousness, threshold be by design, no cross connection of fuel and potable water piping.

Now the fact that the most recent story is that while in Sandy Eggo, and with the carrier connected to shore water directly, there was no evidence of fuel in the system after a good flushing.

BUT, now back underway, there are traces of fuel in the potable water storage tanks.

Imagonnaguess, possible weeping tank bulkhead seam between a potable and fuel tanks.

No reports of water (Which would sink to the bottom) contaminating fuel systems though.

Loving God, maker of heaven and earth, protect us in your love and mercy. Send the Spirit of Jesus to be with us, to still our fears and give us confidence.

In the stormy waters, Jesus reassured his disciples by his presence, calmed the storm, and strengthened their faith. Guard us from harm during this storm and renew our faith to serve you faithfully.

Give us the courage to face all difficulties and the wisdom to see the ways your Spirit binds us together in mutual assistance. With confidence we make our prayer through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

the junkyard in question has over 100 outstanding violations. nothing ever done to them. I guess they know who to pay off.

at the same time, there was a drive-by (drive over? they drove to the school and parked to do the shooting) after football practice at Roxborough High School. so far one 14 year old has succumbed to his injuries. this is a very nice neighborhood despite being in the city. anyway.

but meanwhile a parent with a concealed carry who is nervous about picking up their kid at some field or rec center after practice with all these shootings? krasner says nah, no protection for you, take your chances suckers.

The electricity and telephone men usually do an unbelievable job in the wake of a major disaster, and the number of them that volunteer to go to the disaster area to assist the local crews never ceases to amaze me. As soon as airfields are open, there will be telephone and electricity men landing from all over the continent to go help. The only thing I've routinely seen like it is wildfire. When there's a bad fire, wildland firefighters descend on the fire from all corners, including from foreign countries. When there's a bad fire, men from all five great firefighting nations (US, Canada, Mexico, Australia, Russia) rally to it. It's truly a thing to behold.

But third worlders rarely pose a threat to the truly elite. We have basically kept South America, the Middle East and continental Africa in a perpetual state of subsistence living for centuries without even putting a boot on the ground.

Only on the rare occasion where a country begins to develop some semblance of social order or sovereignty do we feign the necessary to bomb it back to the Stone Age to start them on the rebuilding process again.

They are. Not directly Hitler, but usually framed as "neo-nazis." The Euroskeptic party in Germany - "Alternatives for Deutschland" (AfD) - is regularly excoriated as neo-nazi. It isn't, as near as I can tell. They're much closer to UKIP, in that they're a nationalist party with a significant libertarian streak.

From the intensity of the initial explosion it seems it should have momentarily caught fire. But wouldn't it then backtrack all the way through the pipeline to Poland, then Germany, then Russia? Perhaps even forward to Sweden?

It's worth the mental exercise to consider that the damage had to be done in such a way as to avoid ignition.

Basically, what this says is that the search for new sub-atomic particles may be a big scam, and what's more the scientists searching for them are aware that it's a scam.

It think two sorta contradictory things feed this.
One, There is no God and we're gonna prove it!
Two, if we can only discover the right particle at the right level, we can control and create the universe as we wish. Call this the God Particle or Santy Claus particle.
Star Trek movie 3 kinda addressed this idea with predictable results.
Would the Santy Claus Particle open up and new world of freedom and fulfillment for everyone. Or would it be used as a weapon against them there deplorables of whatever stripe?

293 I mentioned yesterday, albeit in Italian, that the media completely misunderstands the Italian people. Nor do they have any sense of history. They equate their party system with ours, and that's not an apt comparison. For the most part, Italians of all parties loathe the fascists. To call someone a fascists as a pejorative, which the American media has casually done, does not sit well even with most of the Italian Left, and several of their leaders have said so. There are still people around who either remember, or heard the first hand stories about Mussolini and the Italian fascists. It was a horrible time for most Italians and the brutal death of Mussolini gives you a slight hint how terrible that time was. By the way, most of the media don't know that Mussolini started out as a journalist. Imagine the irony...

It’s “conservative” if you don’t believe it’s appropriate to teach elementary schoolers about anal sex, felching, fellatio and cunnilingus. It’s “conservative” if you don’t think dudes should be competing in female sports. It’s “conservative” if you believe in free speech.

Reportedly, Mark Houch of the FBI raid was an intimidating man who carried a knife on his belt at times while around abortion clinics. Perhaps this new allegation is needed as the narrative maybe falling apart about him assaulting a clinic escort v. medical providers. (I think definitions in statutes manner but not a lawyer.)

So today is the day Jamie and Liz of the 1/6 Committee have Riggleman testify? (Bombshell testimony was recently promised.) IMHO, they're still hunting for at least one text msg which can be interpreted Trump had an opportunity to call off the 'riot' but did little to nothing within his power. (He knew but placed no importance on taking action as he had regarding Charlottesville. Willfulness is what they're pursuing.)

353 Every single thing that was done in response to Covid-19 was there to make things worse.

Back in the 80s there was a swine flu panic.

The government rushed out a vaccine that killed people and set up a propaganda system to get everyone to take it. After a handful of people died they pulled the vaccine and shut down the propaganda operation.

But the government wasn't completely corrupt in the 80s. And the people then would have started getting Minutemen-y if they tried what they did in 2020...

411 In a Friday interview with the Wall Street Journal, Zelensky responded to the recent remarks of his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, who said earlier this week that Russia and Ukraine could have ended their conflict in March if Kiev had not withdrawn from negotiations.

Calling this statement “total delirium,” the Ukrainian leader said that, prior to Moscow’s offensive, he had been trying to talk to Putin for a long time but he couldn’t be bothered to take a phone call.

“He came here without talking, killed people, displaced 12 million, and now says Ukraine doesn’t want to negotiate. They just murder people, destroy cities, enter them, and then say: ‘Let’s negotiate’. With whom can they talk? With rocks? They are covered in blood, and this blood is impossible to wash off. We will not let them wash it off,” Zelensky said.

But of course, the government sensed that, and never would have tried it. They do what they do, from COVID to stolen elections to Nuremberg rallies in Philly, because they have the innate instinct of the tyrant as to what they can get away with.

427 It seems plausible that one could have merely detonated something in the the vicinity near a major junction of pipes and let the shock waves damage the pipelines.

Pipelines were never designed like submarines, to withstand a depth charge attack; a submarine hull has to withstand the entire pressure of the ocean depths, while pipelines can be internally pressurized by the fluids they pump. It takes far less of a blast to damage a pipeline than sink a sub.

Liberals have no sense of history, and the very little they know they try to purposely distort. They believe that covers for their abject failures and the fallibility of their philosophical objectives. It doesn't, only because there are a lot of people smarter than them. People who can discern true history and factual events from their propaganda. It's why they want to corrupt the education system. Because the truth will destroy them.

I had a relative who several times showed us a picture of Mussolini and the other fascists hanging from the gas station structure in Piazzale Loreto. They always told the kids, this is what happens to bad people. Point being, Liberals have no idea how opposed to fascism almost every Italian is.

John Fetterman for U.S. Senate on Nov. 8.

That is why PA is an "issue" and why Right to Work will likely affect DeSantis and many others in heavily unionized states. There's also very little press on Prison Reform and Fetterman's Board of Pardons. There's little press on how the gas pipeline & fracking industries have been badly damaged in PA; how those industries support communities, and how Fetterman does not, in fact, support those industries. Lastly, you may be surprised on the issues the League of Women Voters routinely support.

In October 2019, amid the Democrats’ plan to hold a full House vote on a resolution outlining the structure of impeachment proceedings against Trump, Nadler, according to the book, took issue with how Schiff, who was tapped by Pelosi to lead impeachment efforts, was prepared to proceed with the impeachment without due process for Trump.

Worried about the situation and the likelihood that his Judiciary Committee would not be able to cross-examine witnesses as the committee had done traditionally, Nadler confronted Schiff about the planned process, and, according to the book, said: “It’s unfair, and it’s unprecedented, and it’s unconstitutional.”

494 > Beto Turns On Biden, Blames Prez For Latino Voters' Rightward Shift

I'd really like to be a fly on the wall, when Betx's FIL finally gets tired of supporting his lazy ass and funding his fantasy campaigns.

He's in what LBJ used to call the "son-in-law bidness".

I know that it's legal in some states, but I don't know about Austin.

Right? Whole regions of the globe have gone pear-shaped in the course of a couple years. From Eastern Europe, to the Med, to the Middle East, to East Asia. If WW3 doesn't kick off soon, I'll be more surprised than if it does.

The state of NY and several federal agencies had space in the original towers and the smaller plaza buildings. Can't say I'd blame any of them for not wanting to go back.

500 I prefer the Freedom Tower. I like the Memorial and the train hall. I never liked being in the Twin Towers, and Windows on The World sort of freaked me out a little.

But I'm all in favor of giving the Islamists the middle finger, so I vote for whatever design most irritates those pricks.

501 You cannot force technology advancements by political edict.

That was the mindset of the JEF and his acolytes. They think that when you take away certain things, American Ingenuity will kick in and we will instantly have something to replace what was taken away. After it gets taxed to death of course.

502 If you were ever in one of the original World Trade Center Towers on high wind days you would sometimes need to put a block in your office door so it didn't close/open. The building swayed. It was by design. But still.

Had Custer crossed the Little Big Horn west with his full command he could have swept the Indian village. That he divided his command into bits and pieces meant he did not have command of any of his positions, nor could those positions aid the other. Cavalry needs speed and mass to deliver shock. Custer's plan took that away from his command.

It's so amazing that we were in the best economy in decades and had unprecedented world peace just three years ago, and now we're collapsing economically and legitimately discussing looming nuclear strikes.

It's neat what happens when you don't let elections occur naturally.

515 Thanks for posting that CompactMag piece, JJ. I could have written it.

This is who I am very afraid of: "But the financial and ideological apparatus of the right—its donors, think tanks, and magazines—has changed less than many think. It is prepared to rally around any alternative to Trump, and will seek to use even a well-intentioned candidate to advance its aims."

I already know Trump is not beholden to them. Any other candidate without FU money may be(which is understandable, but problematic).

Thx for allowing comments.

518 "Will Libertarian Candidates Again Deny GOP the U.S. Senate?"

I had a good friend whose wife ran as a libertarian candidate in one of the hill areas in California. He told me that she did it just to make sure the Republican lost.

I started the break in the friendship at that point by telling him that was dishonorable. He didn't care. This was the early oughts. Things have gotten worse since then.

Libertarians are the shock troops for liberalism.
