The Morning Report

The Morning Report — 1/25/23

Good morning kids. So, everyone's favorite RINO – for all the varied and I'm sure colorful definitions of that acronym – Mike Pence came forward and admitted that he had in his possession classified documents from his time as VP. It's possible (yet how likely would it really be I have no idea) that in the transition when moving residences in the wake of the stolen election that all kinds of papers and files just got dumped in boxes without anyone looking at what they were packing. I've heard the postulation that Pence is coming forward as a way of softening the impact of Biden's years of intentional high crimes. Distracting the public with the meme that "Hey, no biggie. Shit happens to every VP so GOP scalp-hunters and revenge-seekers, leave him alone and let's move on for the good of our precious democracy!" (vomit).

More puzzling is the fact that, of all people, Donald Trump, whom Pence stabbed in the back (along with the American people) has actually come out in his defense. Either he's just incredibly stupid or it's some way of deflecting the attempt by the State/Junta to use Biden as a means to nail him, Trump. Will it work? Given the fact that they are on a mission to put him on trial for treason, with a guaranteed verdict of guilty, I tend to doubt it. But I digress.

I think Pence, for all his RINO bullshit is certainly not engaging in selling secrets to the highest bidder. It probably was as I had laid out, which means rank incompetence of his staff (although as Give-em-Hell-Harry stated "The buck stops here"). And of course, Trump is arguably the most honest person to have ever served in public office. Biden on the other hand made his bones selling every office he ever held to the highest bidder, from Scranton mafiosi to crooked Delaware credit card execs all the way up to some of the most corrupt global regimes including America's greatest international enemies.

Look, the goal is to dump Biden but in a way that doesn't land him in prison or redound negatively to Democrats. How they can do that by claiming what he did was a nothing-burger while Trump theoretically doing the same thing and getting railroaded for it is a square they'll have to circle. And with a rigged justice system, it's of course well within the realm of possibility, the message it sends notwithstanding.

Meh. I've devoted too much real estate to this garbage over the past few days, so let's move on to some of the more hideous and rage-inducing things that are getting lost in the sauce. Although, virtually every item and category are at some point interconnected into a multi-level Venn diagram with the locus being our destruction.

First, here's the shot:

Richard “Bigo” Barnett, 62, is facing a potential life sentence for peacefully entering the Capitol on January 6th and putting his feet up on Nancy Pelosi’s desk.
Barnett was wildly overcharged by vindictive prosecutors and denied a change of venue out of Washington, DC. . .
. . . Prosecutors seized on the fact his cane doubled as a stun gun and could have been used as a weapon even thought it wasn’t. DC is currently working to lower penalties for carjackers, robbers and armed felons in the name of fighting “systemic racism” but Bigo and other J6 protesters are getting the book thrown at them. Carjacking thugs need “restorative justice” but J6 protesters must face retribution.

As a reminder to anyone who thinks otherwise, everyone who was caught inside the Capitol on January 6th, 2021 was not only unarmed (the stun gun bullshit cited above being bullshit) but allowed into the building by the Capitol PD officers who opened the doors for them. There was no plan to overthrow the government nor any intention to do so in any organized or even disorganized way, shape or form. Whatever violence and deaths that occurred were perpetrated by the cops and MAGA-dressed FBI plants and stooges on unarmed, peaceful dupes. See: Ashli Babbit and Roseanne Boyland.

As for injured cops including Brian Sicknick, who died of a ~~heart attack hours later~~ stroke the next day, and nowhere near the Capitol, Julie Kelly yet again drops the hammer that Sicknick and the others were subjected to friendly fire from their own ranks.

So, we have scores of people still languishing in the Garland Archipelago as political prisoners, or their lives destroyed by copping a plea, for the real insurrection and overthrow of America by the combined forces of rigged elections, and then the Federal LE and intel agencies and the media.

With the "shot" I give you the chaser:

National Review is reporting that two Florida residents have been indicted for attacks on pro-life centers in that state during a three-month period. Caleb Freestone, 27, and Amber Smith-Stewart, 23, are facing charges of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrance or FACE Act. The pair attacked centers in Winter Haven, Hollywood, and Hialeah. According to the magazine, among the activities the two are said to have indulged in is spray painting clinics with the words: “If abortions aren’t safe than niether [sic] are you,” “YOUR TIME IS UP!!,” “WE’RE COMING FOR U,” and “We are everywhere.” Freestone and Smith-Stewart have a long history of activism, and Smith-Stewart’s Facebook page would indicate ties to Antifa . . .
. . . At The Post Millennial, Andy Ngo linked the duo to Jane’s Revenge:

Breaking: Two Florida #Antifa members have been federally indicted for their alleged roles in an attack on a Winter Haven, Fla. pregnancy resource center by "Jane's Revenge." Following the overturning of Roe v Wade, far-left cells activated to attack churches & pregnancy centers.
Should the pair be convicted, they face up to 12 years in prison, three years of supervised release, and $350,000 in fines.

The only reason, as the author states, that these two charming individuals (see the photos and vomit) were charged was a result of private investigations conducted by the centers that exposed FBI/DOJ foot dragging and stonewalling. But if you think these two bastards will face any real consequences, I have a high speed rail line in California I can let you have cheap. Remember this other pair of charmers?

A pair of Brooklyn attorneys who were facing up to 10 years in prison for setting fire to an empty New York City police vehicle two years ago agreed to a new plea deal Thursday that could significantly reduce their time spent behind bars.
During a federal court hearing on Thursday, the two attorneys withdrew their earlier plea deal and entered new ones as part of a deal that would cut their time in prison to no more than five years but likely less.
Under the new plea deal, the U.S. Attorney’s Office is recommending that the attorneys, Colinford Mattis and Urooj Rahman, face no more than two years in prison in connection with the firebombing of the police vehicle.

The only thing that might make me eat my words is the fact that these acts of political terrorism took place in Florida. We shall see what the criminal justice system is like in the jurisdiction where the trial takes place.

As for the parts of the nation suffering under the jackboot of Democrat/Leftist control, compare and contrast the above two with Richard Barnett. Or Paul Manafort and Mike Flynn, among others.

Or this individual:

The Biden [junta's] targeting of pro-lifers will be on full display this week with the Department of Justice’s prosecution of sidewalk counselor Mark Houck beginning on Tuesday.
Houck’s case first received national attention when upwards of 20 FBI agents swarmed his rural Pennsylvania home in September of 2022 to arrest him on charges that he had violated the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances, or “FACE,” Act. The FBI executed the unnecessary SWAT-like raid — reportedly complete with ballistic shields, a battering ram, and multiple agents aiming long guns at Houck — while his wife and seven children watched in horror.
The spectacle was completely unnecessary, as prosecutors in such cases typically issue a summons to appear rather than execute an arrest warrant. In fact, Houck’s attorney informed the prosecutor that he would accept a summons on Houck’s behalf. . .
. . . A jury could begin hearing testimony as early as this afternoon, according to Peter Breen, the lead attorney for Houck. Breen also told me the trial could be over as early as Friday.
If convicted, Houck faces up to “11 years in prison, three years of supervised release, and fines of up to $350,000,” according to a DOJ press release. Based on Houck’s lack of any criminal history, however, the governing Federal Sentencing Guidelines would recommend a much lower range of six to 12 months.
But that is assuming both a conviction and one that could withstand an appeal, neither of which seems likely given the facts presented by Houck and the apparent lack of a conflicting version of events. Even an acquittal of Houck, however, would still represent a victory for the Biden [junta], which succeeded in chilling pro-lifer activities through the raid on Houck’s home and his prosecution.

In England, a woman was arrested and hauled off for merely standing near an abortion abattoir and praying. Silently. To herself. And admitting it to a bobby. I'd say she should've kept it to herself but really? In England? The land of Magna Carta and the Scottish Enlightenment? You best believe that is coming here and soon.

Kyle Rittenhouse miraculously was acquitted in a kangaroo court show trial for using deadly force to defend himself from Antifa terrorists who were intent on killing him. And yet, he got his life destroyed and his finances ruined. That's the real meaning of these trials: persecution by prosecution. Protest the government and the government will destroy you, either in a kangaroo court or by bankrupting you and making you a pariah to employers, banks and others. The process becomes the punishment.

And what the government can't do, overtly anyway, the nod-and-a-wink bought and paid for pierced, phosphorescent-hair-dyed stormtroopers of BLM an Antifa will do. The estimable Raymond Ibrahim nails it:

Is the world progressing, as the progressives claim, or is it in fact regressing?
More and more evidence suggests the latter. In fact, in certain respects, the West is increasingly becoming like the quintessential Third World — namely, the Islamic world. . .
. . . On an episode of Tucker Carlson Tonight, the host offered the following account (note, especially, the italicized portions):

Josh Denny is a comedian. You may have heard of him. He used to work for the Food Network. He’s also pro-life, personally, and willing to say so out loud. Earlier this month, Denny was preparing to host a comedy show in Rutherford, New Jersey. That’s about a half hour outside of New York, but just minutes after the show was announced, Antifa, a violent, radical group, decided to shut it down.
Hundreds of Antifa-affiliated Twitter accounts started bombarding the venue called the Williams Center. They also went after the chief of police of Rutherford, a man called John Russo, and they threatened violence. Now, at that point, a chief of police who wanted to defend the Constitution, his solemn duty, would have pushed back and affirmed the sacred right of free expression of every American, but that’s not what Chief Russo did. Instead, he caved to the demands of the mob.
He warned the venue that the venue might face civil liability if they let free speech continue, if they allowed the show to go on. Then he said he would shut down the show on “public safety grounds.” So ultimately, the Williams Center had no choice and canceled the show. In the end, the only people who showed up at the Williams Center that night were several police officers, and they were there to make sure there was no comedy taking place, none at all.
Then, to add insult to injury, the next morning, the mayor of Rutherford, New Jersey, Frank Nunziato, bragged about what the city had done. He said it was his decision to use the power of the state to cut down comedy.
“Unbeknownst to the borough,” Nunziato wrote, “an event was planned for this evening at the Williams Center, news of which quickly circulated through social media. Online intelligence led the police department to believe that the event had the potential for confrontation. Therefore,” Nunziato said, “after discussions with the owner, the event has been canceled.” Now notice the blame shifting here, “the potential for confrontation.”
It wasn’t the comedian who was going to confront or threaten anyone with violence. It was the radical left-wing group Antifa. But it was the comedian who was punished.
This entire scenario is a virtual duplicate of what regularly happens to religious minorities throughout the Muslim world. In the preceding few years, I have come across numerous stories of Muslim authorities shutting down Christian churches on the claim that they are “security threats.” Like the American comedian, these churches of course posed no threat; rather, those who dislike them, “radical Muslims” — like those who dislike the pro-life American comedian, “radical Antifa” — were the ones who posed the threats, and engaged in actual violence.
And now this same “logic” is operating with impunity in America.

And now we have this Democrat bint Katherine Clark who's bastard spawn assaulted a cop and recall Tim Kaine's kid at a pro-Trump rally arrested for felony rioting. And of course getting a wrist slap because, well, you can guess the reason.

In a sane world this does not happen. In a just world, these Antifa goons will come back to their parents' basements and find the house burned to the ground and Rachel Corrie-ed into a pile of rubble.

One way or another justice will be served. At least it should be.

ABOVE THE FOLD, BREAKING, NOTEWORTHY

"If algorithms built to spy exist, they will be used."
Soviet Censorship
Raymond Ibrahim: In short, whenever Christians throughout the Muslim world attempt to repair, renovate, or build a church — all of which contradict the draconian, anti-Christian dictates of Islamic law — the same events follow: local Muslims riot and rampage, and local (Muslim) officials conclude that the only way to prevent “angry youth” from acts of violence is to ban the church—which is then seen and treated as a “threat” to security. And now this same “logic” is operating with impunity in America.

4 ||Sumner County, KANSAS – A 30-year-old man died in Kansas on Saturday due to an accidental discharge of a rifle, caused by a dog stepping on it, in a truck parked on East 80th Street, officials said.

The victim, who was found in the front passenger seat, was pronounced dead at the scene after receiving CPR from emergency medical personnel.

The driver of the truck was unharmed.

The investigation is ongoing, but it is believed to be a hunting-related accident. The identity of the victim and the owner of the truck and dog have not yet been released||

40 The usual debate yesterday at TGP about whether Trump was a sap or a 4D genius for defending Pence. I found it tiresome, as I am increasingly finding Trump's utterances. For all his ego, he seems to lack a healthy sense of amour propre, or vain self-respect, when it comes to those who despise him. I do not find this admirable or useful.

In 1616, he was released to lead a second expedition in search of El Dorado. During the expedition, men led by his top commander ransacked a Spanish outpost, in violation of both the terms of his pardon and the 1604 peace treaty with Spain. Raleigh returned to England and, to appease the Spanish, he was arrested and executed in 1618.||

I have long argued that the Kohn Scale is obsolete. Her position of maximal stupidity applied only in a world that no longer exists, when there was still a dull patina of pseudo-competence on most things. That past several years has revealed, in my opinion, that she was nowhere close to maximally stupid, incompetent or reactionary.

183 Tucker Carlson from last night is must-watch: Miranda Devine makes the case that a nearly twenty page email ostensibly from Hunter to Burisma was either quoting from a classified document or actually written by a government functionary with detailed knowledge of classified diplomatic strategy.

197 Good morning everyone. Thank you J.J.

Today we celebrate the Feast of The Conversion of St. Paul of Tarsus.

St. Paul the Apostle, originally named Saul, was an intelligent and zealous Jewish scholar and Pharisee who fiercely persecuted the first Christian converts among the Jews. While on his way to Damascus with permission to arrest Christians, he received a vision of the resurrected Christ. Jesus rebuked him for his actions and struck him blind, and through this encounter St. Paul was converted. God then used St. Paul and his zeal to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ, especially to the Gentiles. St. Paul was martyred in Rome in the year 65 A.D. The feast day of St. Paul’s conversion is celebrated on January 25.

207 "Learning from Islam? America Punishes the Victim and Rewards the Perpetrator"

Yes, "they" are deploying the tactics of Islam. But that only works when you want to limit Liberty, and control the "Justice" system. For Islam it works when they have enough of the population, but in USA the Antifa types are a tiny minority, but are used as the shock troops for globalists/DeepState/Dems (who are anti-Liberty).

"America" is not doing this, it is the domestic terrorist enemies of America. Wray/Garland are important figureheads, but the real terrorist oligarchs are in the shadows mostly, imo.

I would not be quick to agree. Big State and its big families skate from this crap routinely. Even if it comes out, it will be suppressed and find traction only in foreign and some domestic conservative press.

232 Pope Benedict levels Fake Frankie and the modern church:

It's easy to see why this book would inspire "murderous shouting" from some corners of the Roman Catholic Church. Benedict writes that the Church is close to "collapse" and paints a picture of seminaries in the United States as centers of promiscuous homosexuality and perversion. "In various seminaries," the pope explained, "homosexual 'clubs' were formed which acted more or less openly and which clearly transformed the atmosphere in the seminaries. In a seminary in southern Germany, candidates for the priesthood and candidates for the lay office of pastoral referent lived together."

That's a possibility. There are darker options. It could be about bringing Germany to heel. German industry is not going to exist in two more years. There will be some, but the industrial juggernaut is likely dead already. One of the anchors of German industry - BASF - is dismantling their industrial plant and moving it to Louisiana in the hope of surviving. It's a tall order, but they're trying it. German industry is almost entirely gas-centric, and they're on borrowed time. They will depend on *us* and not on Russia, and they will do as they're told. This is probably going to cause a pan-European depression and the death of much of the continent's chemical and aviation industries, with other heavy industry in critical decline.

They belong to us now. A major competitor - and one that had been getting antsy - has been knocked out and their options curtailed. Europe belongs to us now, for better or for worse.

The fact that anyone in the public eye is able to seriously recommend anything based on the rationale of "to fight climate change" without being laughed out of public life forever shows we lost the narrative a long time ago.

Just like the old saying "I already know you're a prostitute, now we're just arguing about price", same applies here. The Marxist elites found out decades ago that the worldwide public are ignorant, compliant sheep who accept the lie of "climate change", now we're just arguing over how much freedom and liberty they will take away from us.

First they came for plastic bags, then they came for plastic straws, then they came for light bulbs, then they came for... all using the rationale of "fighting climate change". And people accepted it. That's when this war was lost. The last couple decades we've just been negotiating the terms of surrender.

A follow up essay to the series of letters is Screwtape Proposes a Toast, essentially a commencement speech to young demons entering the world. I found this essay from Lewis particularly prescient, perhaps you might too. It's a bit of a read, so perhaps a bookmark for it to read later.

It's the guns.

A study published late last year in JAMA Network Open analyzed firearm deaths over the past three decades – a total of more than 1 million lives lost since 1990.

Nothing will be done. That is also America in 2023. There isn't even any hope of anything being done. Hell, we can't even realistically hope that the status quo simply holds. The unethical, unprofessional, and unaccountable Roberts Court will probably make things even worse.

The gun violence serves a purpose, the GOP will not give it up.
The GOP creates chaos, danger, fear, hatred. Serves to keep a population docile and apathetic. This is the basis of autocratic forms of government.

Don't forget that Putin funded the NRA. So it is more than profit. There is more to it. Much much more, the GOP benefits from installing fear into the population.

Aside from Joe having piles of classified information scattered around his various homes and offices pretty much all of this has been publicly available information. But for some reason the heat is being turned up on Joe right now in ways it hasn't been previously.

Democrats in Congress are starting to move away, the media is actually starting to ask tough questions and not just Peter Doucy and more keeps coming.

317 In other news, Scott Rolen was elected to MLB's Hall of Fame.

How in the hell did he get elected? He was barely an above average player in MLB. Talking about lowering the standards.

Posted by: dantesed at January 25, 2023 09:12 AM

I was talking about this with a friend last night who shared this opinion about Rolen and I said that they should just rename the Hall of Fame to Hall of Popularity. As it seems that's all it is anymore, where players get in if they are popular enough with the current voters.

By lowering standards of entry to the Hall, it opens up a can of worms, as now they can go back and compare players who were passed over with similar average stats/careers to the newly enshrined players and ask why they were not voted in.

318 I'm a bit too old to have been a Sesame Street watcher; it started when I was in high school. (Around the time of the discovery of fire -- or dirt. One of those.) There were laudatory reviews and commentaries galore in TV Guide at the time. But the show was on in the daytime, and I was in school. Summers I spent sleeping late and writing at night, so daytime TV was off my radar.

Still, it's hard to be unaware of the characters the show created.

327 Good read from American Thinker on "The Environmentalist Assault On Civilization"

The essence of environmentalism today is to control and ration the energy supply on which human civilization depends. Since every amenity of civilization uses energy, this control and rationing extends to every human activity. It is a recipe for total control over every individual, every business, and every nation in the world. Which is the point.

Yep. We were discussing it on pixys thread.

Scientists don't understand how bubbles work, but the same scientists are going to fix Global Warming.

No, it's impossible to imagine that happening in the same universe. What CAN happen is control based on what someone else thinks is best for other adults. And that's the intention. See Microsoft and the Xbox above.

Yup. Sesame Street was an unalloyed success - unless you ask its creators, who view it as a failure.

The goal was to increase literacy in inner-city children, to close the gap with suburban children. After several years, they found that literacy increased for *all* children who watched Sesame Street, even those comparatively rich kids that the show was definitely *not* targeting. The gap narrowed, but remained because the benefit was general. The creators were deeply unhappy about that.

329 England is about to outlaw plastic utensils. So, back to wooden spoons for their chicken vindaloo takeaway meals.

We have come a long way. People used to die routinely from diseases from eating utensils; so smart people discovered oligodynamic metals to naturally sanitize utensils. Then they got rid of wood and other porous materials for plastic for the sake of public health.

Its pretty obvious that they are trying to get people sick. Now that the majority of the population has a compromised immune system from the Clot Shot, increasing the vectors of disease spread seems to be the next step.

US aid sent over the past month or so amounts to a mechanized brigade. Going to end up being 100+ Bradley, 100 + Stryker, half a dozen or so Avenger, more Paladins, more MIMARS, bunches of MRAP

Support stuff like recovery vehicles and fuelers are already on hand. I have no doubt that there's a lot of tonnage in repair parts. It's just not in the various news releases.

No ops until weather and soil conditions get good post-spring. That's time to train and I have seen reports of Ukes training on Brads in Germany already. Could train in Poland, too.

And I would argue this has always been the point, not just "environmentalism today". Environmentalism has always been about this, going back to the "global cooling" movement in the 1970s, "global warming" in 1990s and 2000s, and now "climate change" from 2010s to now.

(If nothing, the latter is the real knee-slappers & a meme would be most appropriate.) But the Union League (as shown in Trading Places starring the marvelous Eddie Murphy) stands strong in its members support - no, not really as most, if not all, of the big moneyed (think Roberts) support O but it's a grand backdrop for the mini demostrations (it is the famous Union League, after all) and Philly is showing the path for the nation come 2024.

Yep, the Plandemic op was pretty brilliant.

1 - Cause worldwide panic and hysteria about a virus no more dangerous than seasonal influenza
2 - Use that panic and hysteria to convince everyone in the world to accept an injection of a gene therapy that destroys one's immune system and weakens one's heart
3 - Now we have a world population of people without natural immunity and completely vulnerable to every illness and disease and health issue imaginable
4 - This now makes the world population both dependent on "vaccines" and medication as well as vulnerable to a virus that could be unleashed as a bioweapon that preys on people with weakened immune systems

There has to be foreknowledge, and intent, and potential for damage. Further you can get destroyed for not immediately reporting security concerns to your security officer. Had that one come up with a loved one because of the DHS 9/11 approved two hop rule. Once a "secret is in open circ" it is blown for better or worse is the usual standard.

It is also important to remember that you can fall prey if zealously enforced to derivative classification rulings, so data that is controlled unclassified information (cui) can be put together and ruled as being "secret" or higher if the collated information reasonably denotes or fills in the picture for a higher classified project.

The entire key is compatmentalization, and it has been an open secret since the 70s that you could easily weaponize the security desk as a coercive political tool.

They are not shy about it, and are growing more brazen. I'll put it this way, the CJS called up the Red Chinese without Presidential clearance and gave them a sitrep. That is "good statesmanship" but a submariner that took a snapshot in his bunk on a submarine is a "threat."
