The Morning Report — 10/27/22

Good morning kids. Thursday and so many things make you laugh so hard until you cry. Dig this headline:

Democrat Senator Bob Menendez Under Federal Criminal Investigation Again: Report

I mean, really? This is news? This is the equivalent of reporting the sun rises in the east. The crooked slob has been in Congress for nearly 30 years and has been under "investigation" nearly as long. About the only time the "investigators" took a break from their "investigation" was Christmas and when Menendez was booked in first class on the Epstein/Clinton Lolita Express. In other words, not counting coffee breaks, the actual time they spent investigating him has been about an hour and 42 minutes. You'll be relieved, if not completely not surprised, to learn they not only have not found any evidence of wrongdoing, but will continue to not have found any evidence of wrongdoing until their next 364.9-day coffee break ends, which will likely coincide with a repeat of this headline this time next year.

Moving right along to another thigh-slapper (pun intended), with Herschel Walker having shaken off the unsurprising October Surprise allegations against him and finally opening a lead against his opponent, Ebenezer Baptist Scrooge Wife-Beater Warnock, out comes Gloria "Retread" Allred, probably from the same sewer line in Atlanta that flooded out voting centers in six different states in 2020, with the smoking gun! Seriously, does this filthy, ambulance-chasing shyster slag really think yet another identical story about yet another woman that Walker allegedly impregnated and induced to have an abortion is going to make any kind of difference? It would be laughable if some heretofore unknown Harry Fabian came forward with the allegation. But Allred? ROFLMAO. Go shove Lisa Bloom back between your poisonous, leathery piss-flaps and peddle it somewhere else, toots. I think with this un-cunning stunt, this un-stunning cvnt's days may be finally over. Please God.

There's other laughable madness, like the so-called "Hispanic Caucus" rejecting Mayra Flores, a Congresswoman who was born in Mexico, for membership because her "extreme MAGA values and their attacks on Latinos and our nation’s democracy on January 6 do not align with CHC values." Oh, really? So it's about "values?" I thought these groups were based solely on ethnicity, race or other demographic and/or biological/psychological characteristic. I'm being sarcastic, of course. The only way you get in is if you are a Democrat. Their own words expose not only their hypocrisy but the lie of who and what they and their party are and stand for. Don't fret, Mayra. Consider being rejected from that group a lucky break and a badge of honor. Besides, American Latinos are now abandoning the Democrats in almost the same proportion as those flooding in illegally from south of the now non-existent border. So much so that you are now being put in the column labeled with the Jive Kampf equivalent of untermenschen along with evil white people.

Then there's both Tim Robbins and Jon Stewart suddenly sounding rationale. Call me skeptical, but it is laughable in the extreme that now they take these positions.

And so here we are. With the midterms now 12 days out, Kurt Schlichter is feeling his oats:

Students of military history understand that the real bloodletting starts when the losing side breaks ranks after its formations disintegrate and the cavalry sweeps in to mow down the fleeing survivors. It’s every man for himself, and the best the defeated individuals who were once part of cohesive units can hope for is not to end up one of the bodies left strewn across the battlefield. This is when the victor runs up the score. This is when the vast majority of casualties happen. This is a rout. And that’s pretty much where the Democrats are headed on November 8th, figuratively of course. . .
. . . The traditional sign of a rout is when the losing party turns on itself and its platform. You see pols criticize the members of their party in power and even tell voters they will not go along with its treasured policies. We see inklings of this in how most Democrats will not allow the Biden n’ Kamala circus to stop in their towns. It’s remarkable how all these candidates discover something really important to do when their prezzy shows up in their state besides be seen with him. One rare exception was when Fetterman/Fetterman’s Wife/Fetterman’s Lump allowed itself to be photographed with the crusty president. In typical Biden fashion, he helpfully told the world that he thought Fetterman’s wife would make a great addition to the Senate. Rumor has it that Fetterman’s Lump was so insulted by the slight that it will be voting for Dr. Oz. . .
. . . Democrat ideology has become a pagan religion where it was once merely a way to get power. Most candidates cannot back off from the stupidest Democrat policy planks even at the cost of their electoral lives. They cannot demand more drilling to get gas and oil prices down because that is heresy toward the angry weather goddess. They cannot support cops because that’s racist. They cannot come out against perverts in woman’s faces waving their junk in toddlers’ faces at “family friendly drag shows” because pedo-shaming is a no-go for libs. They are locked into insanity.
They cannot run. They cannot hide. They must figuratively die with their Birkenstocks on.
Cool.

It's quintessential, schaden-bonery Schlichter and it's as uplifting as Dave in FL's poll prognostication. But as I yet again alluded to with CBD and Misanthropic Humanitarian on the latest episode of the podcast, what will it really mean going forward? Not just in terms of at least slamming on the brakes for the next two years but in the long haul?

Please understand that it is absolutely crucial to go vote and retrieve Congress from the maniacs. But, as I have stated, what good is it to win elections if the Left controls the real government – the Bureaucracy, the media and most crucially academia? If elections really mattered, insofar as long term changing course, you would not have openly anti-American Maoists in control of the Democrat Party and running for office, as well as perhaps more crucially, a GOP that actually had been opposing them tooth and nail, all along.

Again, I’m not saying don’t vote; we have to halt the insanity at least temporarily. But long term, we have to win absolute power and be as ruthless as necessary in forging a new nation that cannot be so easily undermined from within. Will that be built around the Constitution and Bill of Rights? Who can say. But we have a terminal cancer that is about to go from stage 3 to 4.

Open to all suggestions in finding the cure.

It’s about elite privilege and money. After the Cold War, the American elite built wealth beyond the dreams of avarice out of the digital economy that America first created to defeat the Soviet Union.

Brooks sat silently — for the first time not interrupting — while Judge Jennifer Dorow read the verdict. After the second count of first-degree homicide was read, a spectator in the gallery shouted out, “Burn in hell, you piece of sh*t” and was immediately removed from the courtroom by Dorow. This is somewhat contrary to her behavior toward the defendant, to whom she had shown nauseating deference and given multiple chances when none were required. The victim’s families in the gallery received no such repeated warnings about their behavior, however, and were tossed out unceremoniously at the very first outburst.

20 The first thing you have to understand about federal regulation is how massive it already is, with compliance costs that total more than $1.9 trillion a year.

That’s bigger than Canada’s entire GDP. It’s bigger, in fact, than all but seven nations in the world. It works out to almost $15,000 per household.

Cool.

My issue with KS here is that he makes the giant and completely naive assumption that winning a midterm election amounts to a victory, and the left will fall apart (as he describes What Happens Next).

This is a mere break in the action. The left will rush around writing "signal to noise" articles, and describe the result as Biden's personal failure, voters got fooled, the Republicans speech must be controlled, etc etc., with the point being, No Change Of Course is required.

The left is so deeply embedded in our institutions and culture that they will shrug off a midterm vote. We have a long way to go before they die with their Birkenstocks still on.

PredictWise then used this data to help Democrats in several swing states to target more than 350,000 “Covid concerned” Republicans with Covid-related campaign ads."

Ditto, but an attempt to describe the problem follows:
What we are seeing is a problem with multiculturalism. When we founded this country we started out with a cultural ideal. God (Christianity.) Freedom. Hard Work. A peculiar kind of community. There's more to it, but that is not important for this analysis. When we had immigration in the past what we got were immigrants self selecting to move here that shared our cultural values. So the incoming culture did not dilute the culture already in place, but rather reinforced it. This created an influx of new ideas that was not toxic to the existing culture. What we got that started to develop in the 1910s, 20s and 30s, was the creating or infection of a culture that WAS toxic to that culture. Call it technocracy, communism, eugenics, whatever. Since then, that infection has only grown (and has grown precisely because of the Achilles heel of freedom present in the original culture) and it is absolutely antithetical to the original culture that was in place.

It is a conundrum because you start trying to think of how to solve the problem and you end up in the same spot the puritans were when they left England.

63 Biden Junta Drops $1 Billion on Electric School Buses

Connecticut’s governor Ned Lamont and Senator Chris Murphy spent $25.7 million on a project to replace buses with electric buses. Twelve were delivered, and one went ablaze just sitting, parked, engine turned off, and with no one in it. The federal taxpayers fully paid for the project.

According to CT Insider, they received a dozen with ten more on the way, but they’re all pulled from service over the bus going ablaze due to a lithium battery fire. It’s “out of an abundance of caution,” said the spokesperson. Nothing to see here.

Biden immediately started overturning Trump-era deregulatory directives, calling them "harmful policies and directives that threaten to frustrate the federal government's ability to confront problems."

Biden also issued an executive order that, as we pointed out on Jan. 29, 2021, was the worst of them all. It gutted the one minor speed bump in front of new regulations, namely that they had to be reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget and pass a basic cost-benefit analysis.

Biden changed the review process to instead be "a tool to affirmatively promote regulations" and "to ensure swift and effective federal action" on everything

It's the phony revolutionary academics who have set national education policy over the last 100 years who have systematically programmed the Mass Culture to be reflexively anti-Liberty and anti-Individual who have done the most damage, and the degree to which this poisonous fake Mass Culture is supplanting and eviscerating Organic Culture is the culprit.

99 The Democrats are going to fight any election they lose to a Republican, especially a MAGA aligned one with accusations they're "right wing extremists" and thus should be prohibited from office. That will likely be followed up with litigation to overturn the results or disqualify the winning candidate. If that fails I imagine violence will be in order.

Whatever the case, the November mid-terms won't be complete and winners seated next year until all avenues have been taken by the Democrats and they're defeated.

It will be a long haul for MAGA aligned candidates who have to fight not only the left, but also the GOP. Only then will we see whether any of this matters in the long run.

They kind of went along because they said he was going to solve the economy and fix inflation.”

With no government intervention their hyperinflation ended in 28 and 29. By 36 the issue was deflation and negative growth. Hitler and the Nazis ran on a platform consisting of anti-communism, antisemitism, and extreme nationalism.

183 Here is how I know the left is going to go absolutely ape-shit after the election. This is taken from the editorial in my local rag this morning:

"If Republicans win the House and Senate. . .Democrats for the most part will accept the outcome unless something truly egregious were to arise or if a race were too close to call. . .If Republicans are successful in having races overturned and then get a majority in either the House or the Senate, it remains unclear what the citizens of these United States would do. . .If the Proud Boys are willing to scale the walls of the Capitol and kill members of law enforcement during their well-organized siege, what's to stop them and others like the Oath Keepers from firing on civilians?"

This country is going to burn if there is a 'red wave.' The call is going out to the left now.

I did a little digging on this, the average price for a diesel school bus is a little over 200k, the price for an electric school bus is around 400k.

So that many buses would cost just under a billon dollars, so the other 4 billion is pay a lot of graft, walking around money and beak dipping.

206 A billion dollars on electric school buses. Okay. It's pointless and counter-productive, but how effective will the policy be?

An electric school bus - per a New Jersey newspaper - is in the absurd range of "$235k to $400k." So let's assume they're a quarter million each to make the math easier. That's four per million and four thousand per billion. So the money spigot will splash around 4,000 electric buses out. Is that a lot?

No, it isn't. Jefferson County, CO - a large suburban county mostly in the Denver metro area - runs more than 400 bus routes, implying between 200-425 buses (depending on equipment doubling for primary/secondary runs, spare buses, etc.). So this new program will replace a laughably tiny number of buses. The districts that receive them will run them as a vanity item while real buses do the real work.

Oh, and per that same article? A real bus costs less than half, at $110k. Even if the electric buses work, there's no way to save enough diesel to make them make sense. #government

- Biden will not be blocked.
- The economy will be in ruins.
- The border will continue to be wide open.
- The J6 prisoners will still rot in jail.
- The FBI will not be defunded by so much as one penny.
- Garland will not even have his hair mussed, let alone be impeached.

Back before the 2010s or so diesels were made to run for-bleeping-EVER. They started messing with them and requiring addition of piss (that's not a joke) to save Global Warming or something and they're much less reliable than they were.

Yeah. It wasn't a stable design and the (optional) gasoline-fired heater up front in early models wasn't an idea rooted in safety.

Sadly, the biggest problem with the Corvair was that it allowed Ralph Nader to rise to serious prominence thanks to "Unsafe At Any Speed" (which was an overblown hit piece that exaggerated most of its claims and was used to agitate for lots more government intervention).

I have sort of wondered what happened to the multiple trillions of dollars in the various stimulus packages and war effort spending passed in the past few years. We know much of it was consumed in fraud and waste, but what happened to the money?

Clearly, the intent of the trillion dollar packages was to funnel generational wealth into the hands of the politically connected, otherwise, why bother? And unlike Scrooge McDuck, the money isn't physically stored in a room, but is likely to be invested in the markets. So how much tax payer money was plundered, redistributed to The Party and in turn used to buy controlling interest in various businesses and start-ups where the wealth is compounded and/or used to sabotage society?

Has the trillions stolen financing ESG and Green initiatives? We are giving the wicked our wealth specifically to buy us back and destroy us.

No, that was all about the weight of the engine in the rear causing over steer, instead of the usual weight of the engine in the front causing under steer. There was also some BS about the independent rear suspension causing the car to roll over under heavy braking.
--------------
The fire hazard was caused by using a rubber tube that fed the carberator directly over the engine. As the tube became hard it had a propensity to break open dumping gas on the hot engine. Ergo fire. It merely required use of a synthetic tube to stop this from happening. The Corvair engine did a lot of rocking and rolling under load which transferred shock to the rubber fuel line. My Dad and sister had a 63 Corvair. My sister sold it to a school mate at college who lived in NJ. On his first trip home the Corvair caught fire and burned to a crisp. Damn, my sister is smart.

481 Thank you Mr. Seffton for the morning round up once again and if I've read you right, welcome to Florida. Yes we have been in a heap of scat for some time now. As for a solution might I point you to an essay written and posted on the web site called Taxi Cab Depressions. The title of the essay is The Pig Trap. The part we may all find interesting is provided by an ex-career military man and still Washington insider that explains the solution of our country's woes, here's the link, https://taxicabdepressions.com/?p=1193s. As many have stated, "we ain't voting our way out of this." To everyone, have a wonderful day.

482 AOC Blames Democrats For Losing Latino Voters, “We Never Tried”…

Is AOC saying that opening the border to every imaginable Hispanic group was really, really not a effort at outreach to Hispanics .. or is it that they never counted on the legal Hispanic community being against the open border idea ?

I can't download the file. Maybe too many requests on the site, maybe being blocked from more general distribution...

491 Crash it hard. Decimate the population. Even the best government in the world (our former republic) will trend toward tyranny in the long run, but our country had a great blood letting in the 1860s.

You cannot reason with 50% of the population who actively and angrily reject reason. Therefore, you have to do the only thing you can with them. In another 100 - 150 years, it'll have to be done again.

492 School buses, electric or otherwise. Illinois had or has a law restricting miles on school buses, taking them out of service when they hit a certain mileage which was pretty low. There are brokers that sell used school buses to municipalities, and a couple are pretty big operations. There would be a good follow the money project.

Definitely fraud. Illinois used to pay someone to run the lottery game show. Decades later this got out and another company offered to pay them because of all the advertising of their name on a show many watched.

Similarly there was another scandal where it was found that much of the states' cash accounts were in non interest bearing accounts. To nobody's surprise there were kickbacks a plenty involved there.

493 I think classifying any speech advocating for a change from a Constitutional Republic as treason and then prosecuting would be a good start.

As I'm told, freedom of speech is not absolute.
