The Morning Report — 10/26/22

Good morning kids. You know we're in topsy-turvy world when the most rabid of rabid (anti) American leftists, who since time immemorial have been shrieking everything from "Hell No, We Won't Go!" to No Blood For Oil!" are not only hot and horny to get into a land war in Asia but with an enemy that possesses ICBMs with thermonuclear warheads. And yet that's exactly what they're doing.

Peace in Ukraine seemed like the one outcome the Biden [junta] did not want to hear. Indeed, Biden is content with perpetuating the conflict, even though such an approach does not serve concrete American national interests abroad. Increased American involvement in the war, however, does provide Biden and his embattled Democrats with some leverage during the approaching elections.

It is to laugh, were it not for the fact that this party and this movement are so abjectly craven, hypocritical, warped and frankly evil. By the way, this does not in the least let the supposed "other side of the aisle" in the form of the so-called "neo-cons" off the hook. The irony is that this entire episode in Ukraine has actually opened my eyes to quite a bit of what I had previously thought was Code Pinko commie propaganda as now being truthful. And like so many other eye-opening moments, the spark that touched it off was the presidency of Donald Trump. But I digress.

There's also the story of a potential mass-shooter in St. Louis, but that will now be buried deeper than President Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants' fingers between the thighs of a 12-year-old girl, mostly because the shooter is the wrong shade of male MAGA white-supremacist. That is, he's black. If they can't bury it, they'll use it as yet another excuse to confiscate your firearms or else blame male MAGA white-supremacist institutional racist America for the shooting.

And that leads us to the main story of the night which is cruel and unusual punishment. For those who watched last night's Pennsylvania Senatorial debate, the cruelty went both ways. Make no mistake; John Fetterman is a rabid, far-left radical who has no business being a dogcatcher let alone a candidate for a US Senate seat. Yet her we are. But that said, the man suffered a debilitating stroke last May and is being used as political cannon fodder by both the Democrat Party and worse, his own wife, who because of her wanting to punish an NBC reporter for doing actual journalism on the debilitated condition of hubby, has revealed herself to be a repulsive dragon lady. Jill Biden's ears perked up somewhere in the West Wing.

Anyway, the cheat machine in the Keystone State will now have to be ramped up to Ludicrous Speed to overcome last night's disaster, which started literally when Lumpy opened his mouth:

On Monday, John Fetterman’s campaign desperately sought to lower expectations for their candidate when he faced off against Republican nominee Dr. Mehmet Oz—even going so far as to suggest that they expected Fetterman to lose.
I can assure you they didn’t lower expectations nearly enough. . .
. . . A condition of the debate was the allowance of a closed-captioning system to accommodate Fetterman’s cognitive impairments. The moderators were transparent about the system, but the system couldn’t help Fetterman articulate his positions clearly—at all.
From the beginning, it was clear that this was going to be a rough night for Fetterman, who opened up the debate by announcing, “Hi, goodnight, everybody.”
It got worse from there. “Hi, goodnight, everybody. I’m running to serve Pennsylvania. He’s running to use Pennsylvania. Here’s a man that spent more than $20 million of his own money to try to buy that seat. I’m also having to talk about something called ‘The Oz Rule,’ that if he’s on TV, he’s lying. He did that during his career on his TV show. He’s done that during his campaign about lying about… our record here,” Fetterman said, struggling to find the right words. “And he’s also lying probably during this debate. And let’s also talk about the elephant in the room. I had a stroke. He’s never let me forget that. And I might miss some words during this debate, mush two words together, but it knocked me down, but I’m going to keep coming back up. And this campaign is all about, to me, is about fighting for everyone in Pennsylvania that ever got knocked down, that needs to get back up, and fighting for all forgotten communities all across Pennsylvania that also got knocked down that needs to keep get back up.”
But answering questions was where he really struggled.
“We all have to make sure that everyone that works is able to,” he said. “That’s—that’s the most American bargain, that if you work full time, you should be able to live in dignity as well true.”
Are you following? It gets worse. . .
. . . In the end, this was unlike any other debate I’ve ever seen. It was abundantly clear that John Fetterman’s cognitive impairment was an obstacle he couldn’t overcome. Despite the accommodations made for him, it was questionable whether he could comprehend speech, and he clearly couldn’t even speak coherently most of the time. In contrast, Dr. Oz was polished, no doubt benefiting from his years of experience as a television personality, but he was articulate when it came to discussing the issues. I can’t imagine that even Democrat voters who watched that debate felt confident that Fetterman can do the job.

I understand Lumpy actually started yelling at Oz as he was answering a question. Ugh. Seriously, whatever one's trepidations about Oz, and for me it's his past association with Oprah Winfrey, the woman who helped foist Barack Obama on us, Fetterman is an absolute non-starter on every level. His answers made even Joey Choo-Choo's sundowning episodes seem like lectures from Dr. Bronowski in comparison. That alone should be a deal-killer even for the lowest of low information voters.

Elsewhere, Lee Zeldin also seemed to seal the deal, or at least handily defeated a stammering, nervous Kathy Hochul in the New York gubernatorial debate. Worst line of the night, among several was this glittering jewel of aloofness:

“We’re halfway through the debate, and she still hasn’t talked about locking up anyone committing any crimes,” Zeldin said, to which Hochul responded, “Anyone who commits a crime under our laws, especially with the change we made to bail, has consequences. I don’t know why that’s so important to you.”

Ask the scores of people being beaten, raped, robbed, sucker-punched, stabbed in the head with garden shears and shoved onto subway tracks. Hell, ask Zeldin's daughters who were home alone when bullets whizzed by in an apparent gang-related shooting right outside their freaking house! This wax-works slag and everyone who backs her needs to be dumped, now and forever. I hope my erstwhile Empire Staters and especially New York City neighbors wake the hell up.

Ditto the rest of the nation.

Though I admit I have no idea what "dignity" looks like to these Leftists, but we have Uncle Festerman using that term "dignity" in that random assemblage of words last night.

Which brings me to thinking of the differences between "amoral" and "immoral". The former is "without morals" the latter is where they recognize a moral code, but choose to willfully and expediently violate it. They literally are demanding "dignity" and job security in their jobs of #canceling out other people and treating others like diseased livestock.

41 there have been only 95 U.S. service-member deaths attributed to COVID from a total military population of 2.154 million. That's a mortality rate of 0.004% — and a case-survival rate of 99.98%, based on the 421,807 infections the Pentagon has reported as of July 1. By contrast, the military's suicide rate during 2020 was about seven times as great (0.027%).

87 Debates serve no purpose at all except to make journalists feel self-important, plus the negative expectation of seeing if the candidates step on their own tender parts.

And it allows these betas to write endless opinion pieces about how their own ideas are so much more superior.

Its easy to watch a debate, then poll your friends and influencers, eventually hear a quip or clever snark, then write an op-ed using it and claiming it as their own.

Easier to do that, then, say, run for office themselves and be portrayed as a half-wit with a skill for plagiarism.

This happens often in Europe in similar cases where the parents main concern seems to be not letting the 'far-right' make a point on how immigration is harming the continent. It almost seems as if the governments are instructing the parents to not make this a problem for them.

121 But somebody needs to explain the mental gymnastics involved in thinking that Fetterman is cognitively fit enough to perform the duties of a Senator.

Since there is no Senator or elected official in the FUSA who sits down and types out a bill or proposed law, leaving that task to the entrenched establishment lobbyists, departmental hacks and congressional staff, the role of Senator is mostly that of entertainment.

Observe the spectacle of Congressional hearings, failing to perform any useful function other than provide sound bites for uninspired and bored talk show hosts and lazy corporate media producers.

122 I just half listened to a spot on CBS about Kanye(Ye?) about how he has been making anti-Semitic statements and the news cheering at all of the corporations rushing to cancel him.

I have always found him to be a dilettante, but for fuck's sake: Alex Jones, Kanye does anyone notice a pattern here? Is anyone else not disturbed?

If you are trying to dispel the notion that there is some grand conspiracy (that Kanye wrongly labels as the Jews, but is in reality the commies/globalists/technocrats) you do a poor job when you act monolithically against anyone with a platform who speaks out against you.

126 France is in shock after the brutal killing of a 12-year-old girl in Paris last Friday. The details of how young Lola met her death are too gruesome to describe, but the news that a 24-year-old woman has been charged with the crime has deepened the disbelief. The fact that the woman is an Algerian national, living in France illegally after her student visa expired, has caused an uproar

France is becoming more like America.

147 From the Alzheimer's link. I don't think I'd heard a connection to belly fat yet. This goes on to also include lonliness and lack of sleep as contributors.

To understand why so many young Americans are struggling with this incapacitating illness, we must address the elephant at the dining room table. It’s common knowledge that the U.S. is getting fatter by the year. Millions of Gen Xers, those born in the 60’s and 70’s and most at risk of developing early-onset Alzheimer’s, are well overweight. This generation, we’re told, is a ticking health time bomb, Millennials, meanwhile, are on track to be the most obese generation in history.

Electorally, I suspect they will lose moderately to bigly. Practically, they'll keep doing what they do. They control the unelected offices and the elected officials and various bits of Party machinery lack the vision, desire and courage to fight them. Their progress will be, at absolute best, retarded slightly by the change in Congressional party power. There will be much squawking and many speeches on both sides to rile up their respective bases and little if anything will change.

But they had no choice but to push this far. They have to. They're an expansionist war party. Their new generation - perfectly raised and indoctrinated - was tired of the Gramscian March. They wanted to go ahead and finish the job. That's always been the end point of the long march and it has arrived. They want to finish the job.

What does "cut Social Security" even mean? Does that mean reduce benefits? Reduce the rate of increase? Reduce people eligible/dependent on SSI?

And does "cut" in this instance even mean "reduce"? Does it mean "eliminate"? or is Uncle Festerman dropping yet another word like "want" as in "you want a cut of Social Security" as in an opportunity for graft?

These Leftists are always projecting on to others what they are already doing or have designs to do. We already know that by fudging the CPI they are in effect reducing SSI's COLA.

Any voices within the party to advocate for slowing things down will be marginalized by the election. The big winners in the party will be those that campaigned on cutting off the dicks of kids, covid forever, and owning the cons. These will be the safest of safe blue enclaves, and the "moderates" within the party will have a smaller voice afterwards than before.

Yes, their hold on the executive branch will be unchanged (this admin ain't doin' no triangulation), but they are going to end up fighting legal battles all over the place.

They say this every election, yet it never happens. I wish it would. Medicare needs to be reformed. SS - especially SSDI (disability) needs to be radically reformed. I know several individuals who are "disabled" and receiving SSDI who should be working. My instinct is that at least 30-40% of people on SSDI should not be considered disabled.

As far as regular SS, it needs to be reformed for the practical reason that it is going to run out of money. I, for one, don't expect to receive the full benefits promised by SS - the math simply doesn't support it being possible.

I posted here in May proof that the abortion issue didn't move votes.

But because they live in an echo chamber, and refuse to consider certain polling firms because they don't give them the answers they want to hear, they spent millions on a campaign strategy, coaching their candidates in campaign themes, and buying air time to push a message that the voters don't care about.

Democrats took a cycle that was always going to trend badly for them, and poured gasoline on the fire.

Not 'off,' but of course he's likely to lack confidence in the circumstances.

Dr. Oz is a reality TV star - of course he's more polished But he made mistakes on the abortion question and also on the minimum wage question.

I've been team Fetterman for a long time. And of course I still am but he wasn’t good at all tonight. It’s not really his fault but he was barely coherent at times, couldn’t order his thoughts, repeated the same lines over and again. It really was a shitshow

Yeah. One of the reasons CHIPS passed so easily is that there's a bit of everything in it. The old-line Union types like it for the Union work it will create, the China skeptics like it because it onshores high-value manufacturing, the STEM boosters like it because High Tech, the government types like it because subsidies and strings, the corporations like it because subsidies, etc.

It will probably not work very well, but it had some broad appeal.

I said right after the PA primary that Fetterman was a bad candidate and that Oz would have a very good chance of winning.

This is not lost on me. I will keep him at a distance as he has a LOT to prove before I will say he's a good one, for sure. The Trump thing, in this instance, wasn't a huge swing simply because they're both reality stars. I mean, it's RARE that something comes out of Hollywood that lights my fire. EXTREMELY rare.

The structure of the government lets them do a lot - even most of what they do - without legislation. Confirmation battles will mostly be ceded in the name of "comity" like the Republicans usually do except for when it's a SCOTUS nominee in a presidential election year. Killing Jan 6 will be nice, but it won't move the needle much because virtually nobody cares about it anyway.

On the states, I agree with you. This is an important election in that regard and there is an opportunity for real, meaningful gains since the states will be the battleground of the realignment.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but most UAW, Teamsters, AFSCME, and SEIU workers do not go through a months-long, let alone years-long apprenticeship program. Crazy Joe wants every LIV to believe that every US union employee is a super-highly-trained person who must pass long, rigorous training and testing to touch a bedsheet, a delivery van steering wheel, a vote tabulation machine, or a seat to be installed in an EV in a Chevy plant.

She's not senile, and while she isn't particularly competent exceeding Biden in that area is a low bar.

And when someone is intent on destroying the country you do not want competence. Yes, other people are setting the agenda for the Biden junta, Biden himself is confined to determining what tween he will grope - but having Biden is the figurehead is weighing them down.

This is why I actually think the greatest danger to the Republic would have been...Mitt Romney. He is a competent technocrat. He cosplays as a conservative. And he doesn't sniff kids...at least in public.

From our perspective he's a terrible candidate. but so was Joe Biden. So is almost every Democrat in my opinion. But, if the economy wasn't so bad, gas prices so high, and Biden's approval rating so low AND Fetterman didn't have a stroke, he'd likely be leading in the polls against Oz right now IMO. He's a bad candidate in retrospect, yes. But I'm not sure in other years and without a stroke he couldn't win in PA. Which is sad, but I think true.

I'm sure there's some small sliver of the population that changes party preference from one cycle to the next, but I think it's more about persuading voters who might vote for you to actually get out and do it.

487 The Atlantic:

Some of this is the result of Democratic miscalculations. Abortion rights and Donald Trump were never going to win this election on their own, and though foreign policy is a Democratic bright spot, it does not usually play much as an issue in midterm elections. (That didn’t stop 30 House Democrats from issuing and then retracting a clumsy and pointless letter to Joe Biden this week about seeking negotiations with Russia.) Yes, inflation is high, and Americans always blame the party in power for such indicators. But there is another reason the Democrats could lose to this bizarre parade of otherwise unelectable candidates: The coalition to protect American democracy has failed to present a narrative of what life would look like—politically and economically—if this Republican Party returns to power.

I'd say about 20% of the electorate votes on the emotion of the day and the remaining 80% vote on party lines.

The Democrats couldn't let that stand, of course, because what would they run on in the future. So they single-handedly made race relations worse to keep themselves relevant.

536 In Michigan proposal one on the ballot is to enter into the state constitution that voting is a right. To support that right it includes constitutionalizing drop boxes, eight day early voting in person, only election officials can perform audits, and the state canvassers MUST certify an election based on the vote tallies. A Democrat dream. I have no idea if this will pass. It is iMO , blatantly unconstitutional as it removes the legislatures ability to structure and conduct elections per US constitution, but since most voters are woefully ignorant of the constitution I am concerned it will pass.

Marginal voters who might or might not vote will be affected by stuff like this. They don't comment at DU.

I'm sure there's some small sliver of the population that changes party preference from one cycle to the next, but I think it's more about persuading voters who might vote for you to actually get out and do it.

heh. But a lot of people watching China have been pointing out that Xi now has more power than almost any past Emperor of China ever had, save for the legendary First Emperor. After Mao, they set up a system that was intended to make sure that the offices of Premier, and Party Secretary, and Head of the Army were always held by 3 different men. Xi has now managed to take control of all three, and also to fill all of them with his loyal supporters. Xi has absolute power over all aspects of Chinese government now.

=========

I think that's the central idea of the "base turnout" model of elections. Get everyone who would vote for you to the polls while forgetting the small sliver of independents.

When I say persuadable, it's people that might turn out or might not. Dedicated partisans are not persuadable. They will turn out. Soft partisans are persuadable, but not really by the other side except through negative ads and such. Independents just kind of do whatever.

About fracking in Pennsylvania - there's a lake near me. It is so large that it would probably take me a day or two to kayak around it. Somehow a nearby fracking company pressured something too highly and 20,000 gallons of water and clay mixture entered the lake. To put 20,000 gallons in perspective, that's a small backyard in-ground swimming pool. But the Dems have pounced on this as if it was the gravest of sins ever committed.

There's a lot of clay in Pennsylvania soil, and the lake? Well it's full of water. Dems are 'tarded.

572 I was skeptical about Fetterman's cognitive improvement, but willing to be convinced. I wasn't. His answer to the question on his position on fracking was a bald faced lie. Not unusual for a politician, but it wasn't close to a coherent lie. In 2017, he was strongly against fracking. Now, he's for it. He couldn't admit that polling showed that people's concern about gas prices have overtaken fears of fracking, and his staff told him to change, so he had the phrase "I support fracking " stuck in his head and he used it, multiple times. He couldn't come up with a convincing lie, like "I learned new information about fracking, so I changed my mind." He just stood there and repeated "I support...", like a stuck record.
The brain wiring is screwed up, seriously,.
