The Morning Report

The Morning Report — 11/2/22

Good morning kids. Wednesday, and with the slapping of federal charges on this illegal alien meth-head joy-boy, who's résumé lists his profession as "geriatric prostate inspector," the facts of the incident in the Pelosi San Francisco manse have been effectively sealed. And for good reason; they do not add up to the attempted assassination of the Speaker of the House by a white supremacist MAGA terrorist at the behest of Donald Trump. Oddly enough, given the timing of the attack and the players involved, I only came across one link during my time "aggravatin' the links" from yesterday evening until early this morning. What this seems to indicate is, true believers and the braindead notwithstanding, a majority of the citizenry who are going to the polls next week aren't buying it and are more concerned with trivia like the cost of living and preserving life and limb from hardened criminals set free in the name of "social justice."

Friend and friend of the blog Michael Walsh was a guest on the latest episode of the podcast (parts 1 and 2 in the sidebar as well as on Rumble in its entirety) and along with his new book which really is a must-read IMHO, he has written a series of essays at his website The Pipeline advocating for the repeal of several amendments – specifically the 16th, 17th and 18th – dating from the time of Woodrow Wilson. After I sort of half-jokingly mentioned repealing the 19th, women's suffrage, I got an instant and enthusiastic serious-as-a-heart-attack reaction from Walsh and CBD in favor of it.

With that in mind, let me just state for the record that the flatus and stench of sour estrogen that emanates from the set of The View is something that I would not touch with a 10-foot DePape hammer. Shrill, shrieking, shrewish vapidity and ignorance underscored with an "APPLAUSE" sign-focused audience of clapping seals is not worthy of your time. The Jew-hatred from Fat Albert Speer Whoopi, though was newsworthy as well as instructive, as is this latest item.

The View Co-Hosts Deny That Democrats Participate In Political Violence

I will not inflict you with an excerpt or pull quote from the article, except that there is one salient point that execrable, bitter, low-life, no-talent shit-whore Joy Behar swerved into which is, again, both a prime example of projection but quite revelatory:

"There is no both sides."

Unlike every essence of her outer and inner self, her clarity and concision here are collectively a thing of beauty. Spot on. It also underscores the situation that we find ourselves in as a nation and as a society. When one side of the divide views the other as not merely wrong but an existential threat and an evil to be eradicated, how can we possibly move forward as a civil society? The answer of course is we can't.

The bitter irony of Behar's brainwave is that she is correct. But the fact that she and her ilk "view" shall we say us as cancer gives her and those she supports a mantle of absolute moral authority to do anything in the name of self-preservation. I agree with her premise, except the difference is I view her "views" as cancer, not necessarily her or her compatriots. I have no problem with her being on the air. The problem is their silencing of voices contra their beliefs that's the problem. In the open, fair and free arena of ideas, they wouldn't necessarily have a shot in hell.

Behar and her ilk aren't the problem, here. They are however a symptom that we ignore at our peril. Because the shit coming from her pie-hole is merely echoed, if not actually written by, the same scum that put the words in President Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants mouth he spouted in front of a blood red Independence Hall.

Now with all the philosophy comes the hard truth. If we aren't past it already, what with a stolen election and the targeting of political opponents of all stripes by the junta in power, we are heading to a point of no return. And the more everything this junta is doing crashes and burns around them in terms of domestic and foreign policy disasters, the sooner we will reach that point. How can they accept a potential wipeout at the polls next week and perhaps if we live to see it in '24 when, "there is no both sides?" Biden himself delegitimized at least half the nation in that horrendous speech. How can they possibly stand for a rejection at the ballot box by said voters? They can't.

What a pickle we're in.

Last night AZ senate race moved into "fat lady is singing" territory.

Overnight polling the last two days have swung sharply to Masters as the Libertarian candidate dropping out has shifted 2% of the vote to Masters.

I now consider GA, FL, NC, WI, OH, PA, MO, and AZ to be finished with the GOP winning all of them.

That is a net +2 in the Senate and will be the absolute floor for GOP control.

60 Let's begin with an indisputable fact. What Kanye West, a.k.a. Ye, is saying about Jews is anti-Semitic. Why? Because "the Jews run everything" is pure libel. That’s why Jews are not paranoid about being deeply troubled by such sentiments. If widely believed, they will almost inevitably lead to the persecution of Jews.

And yet Kanye has been destroyed for making the statement. His billion dollar empire is gone in the blink of an eye. I'm tired of the double standard of Jews crowing about how they have risen to these great positions and when someone points it out crying anti-semitism.

After Spain expelled its Jews in 1492, that major world power went into a 500-year decline.

Wow, horrible history. Spain conquered South and Central America after 1492. Their decline had more to do with their conquests and the vast amounts of gold which caused economic problems. Also, can there be anything more arrogant than "You didn't like us and therefore you were ruined?"

86 Today is All Souls Day - sometimes called the Day of the Dead. On this day, and during the month of November, the Church prays in a special way for the souls of the faithful departed, and individuals pray especially for those whom they have known and loved. The Holy Souls in purgatory died in the mercy of God, thus they are called "holy." However, because they still had attachment to sin at the time of their death, they must undergo the spiritual purification of their souls before they are able to fully love God with their whole heart, mind, and soul for all eternity. As they are nevertheless part of the communion of saints, they depend upon us to help ease their suffering and quickly advance them through their purification so that they can join the saints in heaven. Those in purgatory cannot pray for themselves, this is why they are also called "poor." They can no longer merit anything for themselves and rely entirely on living souls to pray and make sacrifices on their behalf.

This is our opportunity to reach beyond our physical world.

87 Hayek had a simple argument in his Road to Serfdom: in addition to being inherently coercive, central planning is sub-optimal because it's not as good as free market pricing at processing information in order to make informed decisions. Even when bureaucrats are smart and well-intentioned, they don't always have all the information they need. If they do have sufficient information, they get overwhelmed by it. Free market pricing wins every time, with the exception of the occasional grand military-oriented project.

An extension of this idea is that bureaucrats don't like change and won't admit to making mistakes. Compare the private sector: even monopolistic companies that don't change and won't admit to making mistakes will eventually fail.

90 Reagan, a closet intellectual, was a big fan of Hayek. If you believed Hayek, you'd have understood the Soviet Union's vulnerability.

The book itself is a bit of a slog because of Hayek's acaemic style. You can find a Reader's Digest summary version online, which I recommend. This summary version was read by millions back in 1945, when we had far fewer people getting higher education.

The conceit of today's wannabe central planners is the belief that with Big Data and their own hyper-developed Super Smarts these old rules no longer apply. They can run everthing from Borg Central Command. And developments like driverless cars will turn much of the populace into superfluous CO2 emitters.

We're about to see devastating consequences from this conceit. Sadly, me and mine are strapped in for the ride.

110 95 It's amusing to see all the former blue checks bitching and moaning about having to pay for their flair. I'm suggesting people begin to question anything they post as "unverified" or "disinformation" because they're obviously not trustworthy without the coveted blue checkmark.

114 This is what a man-made storm convergence looks like. As cargo piles up in ports, a rail strike is looming — because of government dereliction. We don't have the trucks to move the cargo — because of ill conceived emissions standards. If we did have the trucks, we couldn't fuel them — because our government has decided that it prefers batteries to the fossil fuels that charge the batteries
It's a perfect storm of life-threatening crises — brought to us entirely by the Biden administration. So who in our government should be fixing this mess? That would be our intrepid secretary of transportation, Pete Buttegeig, who has never fixed anything in his life but checks all of the required intersectionality boxes

This wasn't new, though Hayek articulated it more clearly than most. This is called the "socialist calculation problem" and, in modern computing parlance, it is a problem of data starvation. You have inadequate data to set prices and therefore set production. You actually could hypothetically gather enough data, but you'd be unable to process it. The data starvation is because of variable elimination, which is necessary to be able to do anything at all. In many ways, it's the same problem as climate modeling faces, which is why the two models work approximately as well as one another.

But the market is so *messy* and they're not in charge, so they'll try, try again. The bureaucracy is indeed extremely self-impressed and unwilling to acknowledge mistakes and this ties in with why they keep accelerating toward the cliff.

Our government has never been Keynesian. It only used Keynes as an excuse to do what they wanted. They never actually followed what he said.

Whatever economic theory the establishment latches onto (Keynesianism, MMT, whatever that French guy was saying a decade ago) is just a fig leaf towards economic theory used to justify their massive theft from the people both present and future to line their pockets.

Amen. From Matthew 5:1-12
Seeing the crowds, he went onto the mountain. And when he was seated his disciples came to him. Then he began to speak. This is what he taught them: How blessed are the poor in spirit: the kingdom of Heaven is theirs. Blessed are the gentle: they shall have the earth as inheritance. Blessed are those who mourn: they shall be comforted. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for uprightness: they shall have their fill. Blessed are the merciful: they shall have mercy shown them. Blessed are the pure in heart: they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: they shall be recognized as children of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted in the cause of uprightness: the kingdom of Heaven is theirs. 'Blessed are you when people abuse you and persecute you and speak all kinds of calumny against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven; this is how they persecuted the prophets before you.

209 Free speech is about more than what the First Amendment requires. Fairly broad tolerance is required for meaningful free-speech rights to exist,. We currently have a culture in which conservatives are so in the shadows that pollsters have difficulty polling them. At any rate, let's not kid ourselves, we're finding out that a lot of speech-related consequences meted out by private actors have been taken at the direction of government actors. The private-actor/government distinction isn't terribly meaningful when the government is using private actors to do its bidding.

265 Perhaps I'm just too cautious, but I would think when you don't know the effects of something, you don't go rushing in full speed ahead.

The greatest success of the American medical establishment was NOT endorsing Thalidomide. They took their time while Europe went full speed ahead. And that was generally true - Trump had a political fight about allowing people to take experimental medicines for fatal conditions even if the FDA didn't approve.

And...they completely flipped on the clot shot.

267 If we run out, crops won't be harvested, and supplies won't be delivered — even if the trains are still running. We're just one natural disaster away from petrochemical Armageddon. What steps is the government taking?

Canceling pipelines
Stopping the drilling on public lands
Restricting fracking
Selling our strategic reserve to China
--

And here's the key.

Remember how the left was always saying "It would take ten years for that oil to reach the market?"

It's true. And they've shut down all those producers, and they can't just flip the switches and turn everything back on. We're in for a world of hurt.

I remember her election and the stuff that came out about her. AZ didn't seem to care (or Maricopa County was able to do whatever they wanted without pushback). She barely won in 2018.

I think she's extremely vulnerable both in the primary and in the general, but moreso in the primary. The left wants purity, especially in a state they think is theirs now. There will be a really well-funded primary challenger against Sinema in 2024 because she won't vote to get rid of the filibuster (the filibuster is really just a way to make these marginal members of a bare majority personally powerful), and there's a solid chance that the challenger wins. It will be hilarious.

It's too bad, really. One of the benefits of our old system was robustness. There were many players in any given game and if one of them keeled over and died, you could use the others.

When GM sourced parts like radio aerials from, say, six or seven different manufacturers from large outfits to family shops, the loss of any one of them wasn't too big a deal. If they source them all from only one, there's serious trouble if it fails.

But single-sourcing is efficient and everyone at all levels went down that road. Robustness has been destroyed in the name of efficiency.

336 White Ohio police officer who fatally shot a Black [sic] driver during struggle inside a car ordered to pay family $4.4-million.

||A white police officer who fatally shot a Black driver during a struggle inside a car in 2017 must pay his family $4.4 million.

An Ohio jury made the award Tuesday, finding that Euclid officer Matthew Rhodes acted recklessly when he climbed into 23-year-old Luke Stewart’s car and shot him as Stewart drove away. The shooting had inflamed racial tensions in Euclid, a Cleveland suburb, and a grand jury declined to indict Rhodes after hearing evidence from prosecutors.

The jury's finding stemmed from a wrongful death lawsuit filed by Stewart’s mother. The panel said Rhodes must pay Stewart’s family $3.9 million for the loss of his support and companionship and $500,000 for the pain and suffering he went through. But Rhodes will not have to pay punitive damages to the family or attorney’s fees.||

The "COVID is the most deadly and different virus EVER!" people and the "The clot shot is completely safe and effective" people kept spinning each other in a more extreme direction.

This is another example of what I call "narrative overdrive" where different parts of the left keep driving each other in a more extreme direction because they believe each other's lies.

It can corrupt your education system and flood your community with illegal immigrants who exist based on your tax money- all while you can't afford gas or groceries. Liberals still won't recognize it for what it is. They avoid the truth, hide in obfuscation and bury themselves in their fellow cult members bias confirmation.

Both cause blood clotting - which is why various governments banned or pointed people away from J&J at various points. mRNA does the same but...they had better political influence. Both also cause heart damage.

I suspect J&J is safer long term, as it is less likely to cause the reduced immune response to cancer then the mRNA shots.

I toured Temple back in the early aughts when I was shopping for colleges. The girl who was leading the tour group did a very good job cheerleading for Temple.

During the tour, I noticed that they had a lot more of those blue-lighted emergency beacons than other campuses had and the emergency call buttons were much bigger. I asked the girl why the Temple campus had so many. She got very excited and said that they had a lot of them so that if I was being pursued, I could just hit the buttons as I was running and that their computer system would use the inputs to predict potential routes and dispatch police to multiple possible intercept points to help.

I have to hand it to her on her ability to spin the horrible reality into a celebration of technical achievement. She is probably a politician now.

I think our guy is showing the diverse reaction at DU. There are those who are very much in touch with the fact that things are going badly, but they seem to be (based on the sample) in the minority. Most seem intent and killing the messenger without really engaging with the ideas, and the rest are all, "Roe Roe Roe Your Vote is the greatest political campaign slogan in history and all pollsters are intentionally hiding it because I don't know any Republicans."

They don't want it. They GOT it. The advisory panel voted unanimously to add it to the childhood vaccination schedule. That is amnesty from financial responsibility.

Sure the multi-trillion dollar company might have to pay the max liability ceiling of $17K to someone once over the course of their life, but that's probably breaking even on the cost of the person's immediate family getting the injection.

That's amnesty.

This is similar to Crist promising a full COVID control regime in Florida.

At this point, I think they're trying to lose. Not just them specifically, but the Democrats. Losing an election isn't that big a deal for them because they still control the unelected government, the press, academia, most corporate board rooms, etc. It looks to me like they really want a "red wave" to happen.

The Republicans will do probably do what they usually do (little or nothing) and as things continue to degrade, the Republicans will then hold a much bigger share of the blame in '24.

I don't know that the Dems are trying to lose on purpose, but it really looks that way.

419 The traditional media has an outsized influence on our dialogue. Look at their average audience size compared to our population and then against the most watched channel. It's minuscule and their primary success has been to promote that minority point of view in a way that it disproportionately effects or sways public opinion. There is not as much support for the issues they push as it seems. It is more so the amplification that occurs in constant recitation and even counter analysis by detractors.

TV adds seem to be necessary for those politicians that cannot create buzz by themselves. Lake has it and is creating her own buzz. Mastriano does not have it and may need the ads.

But I don't think I will ever understand PA politics.

I think the ebb and flow of trolling is mostly money-related. A lot of them are paid to do this grubby toil by outfits like Shareblue - my guess is that they apply funding for it like ad dollars in targeted marketing. Flooding specific fora with different messaging at different times, etc. I doubt AoS is considered a great use of money, for a few reasons.

But sometimes, as with any targeted marketing, it's time for a big campaign push, or A/B testing, and they just go scattershot on everything. That's when we get hit.

486 At this point it's not going to be the winning that's going to be a problem for Republicans, it's going to be the governing. There will be high expectations that Republicans will provide some relief to our citizenry. That's not going to be easy and Republicans have largely shown they will fumble when given these opportunities. If they can govern in a way that pleases the electorate, making material changes that are possible without the presidency, then they will do well and hold power for years to come. If they go back to the establishment playbook, they will not just forego the presidency in two years, buts it's likely they won't hold a majority in Congress. McCarthy better wire his shit tightly and McConnell needs to go.

491 "The Johnson & Johnson vaccine delivers the virus' DNA to your cells to make the spike protein. An adenovirus acts as a delivery vehicle used to carry the coronavirus genetic material (DNA). The adenovirus delivers the little piece of DNA to the cell that will then make the spike protein. After your cells produce the spike protein, your immune system creates antibodies toward the spike protein, protecting you from infection.

"Once the adenovirus gets inside your cell, the spike protein gets manufactured by your own cellular mechanisms," explains infectious diseases expert James Lawler, MD, MPH."

500 I believe Pfizer and Moderna are both mRNA and J&J is the traditional vaccine.

********

J&J is not quite a traditional vaccine. It does use an inactivated virus, but that is not the target (SARS-2) virus. It uses an inactivated adenovirus with a biit of DNA added, a bit of DNA that codes for the SARS-2 spike protein. It does not use mRNA.

Injection => adenovirus enters host cells => host cells express viral DNA => spike protein manufactured => spike protein prompts immune response

501 Good morning. Pondering Above the Fold articles,
It's not appropriate or broad enough to release the antifa crowds & the more std forms of disruption but enough of a perfect transportation storm will unravel communities & create more internal migration. (Herding comes to mind.)

Unexplained deaths. More autoimmune diseases & viruses? H1N1 (2009-2010) caused an upswing of Type 1 diabetes in children. (I grew up in an area with experimental farms & medical labs scattered around housing & small parks. The high incidents of autoimmune diseases, unusual cancers, deaths from the area have been studied (landfills, incinerators, fire suppression foams in water) in recent times, to no avail. But what couldn't be studied was the runoff from the farms & labs into creeks, swamps, retention ponds in years past. So even now, are viruses killed by all types of water treatment?

Venezuela's war on children. DHS announced 'Our comprehensive effort to reduce the irregular migration of Venezuelans also includes a new process to lawfully and safely bring up to 24,000 qualifying Venezuelans into the United States.' Educated, ready to work folks. Teachers?

This. Canned goods will keep for a crazy long time and be edible even though they might take on an off flavor. That's the whole point of the "best by" stamp. So long as they're not bulging or discolored or smell funny, I have eaten ten year old canned goods just to see what to expect. I don't want to feed my kids that, but I will if it's that or starving.

It's hard to say what will happen. But I think a majority of the electorate is ready for a change. I also think if McCarthy goes establishment and moves off the agenda that the voters want, he's going to get hammered. There is no way a majority of the incoming class will stand for past antics. These are people who want to get stuff done, and they won't be bowing to McCarthy, or will a lot of them be silent.
