The Morning Report — 1/31/23

Good morning kids. So, in looking at this hideous Tyre Nichols situation in Memphis, it reminds me of the story about the kid who goes on trial for murdering his parents, and then pleading with the court for mercy because he's an orphan. In this case, after begging for mercy, he blames the real guilty party: society.

Tadarrius Bean and Demetrius Haley both joined the MPD in August 2020 after education qualifications to become an officer were dramatically lowered two years prior. The department nixed the required associate’s degree or 54 college credit hours for recruits in 2018 due to a lack of applicants.
“They’re desperate. They want police officers,” retired NYPD detective Mike Alcazar told the Post. “They’re going through it, they check off some boxes, saying, ‘Ok, they’re good enough, get them on. . . ”
. . . Bean and Haley were also hired during the summer of the George Floyd riots, a global protest movement organized by Black Lives Matter in response to the death of Floyd in Minneapolis police custody. The protests spread to more than 2,000 cities across America, causing more than $1 billion in property damage and killing at least 25 people. Such a movement, whose main mantra was “defund the police,” significantly damaged police morale.
According to a June 2021 survey by the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF), the rate of retirement at police departments rose 45% in 2020 compared to the previous year, with a 20% increase in resignations. The hiring rate also dropped by 5%.
Simply put: police officers were quitting at unprecedented rates across the country to escape such a hostile environment, and departments were struggling to meet minimum staffing requirements. This coincided with a massive crime wave across America’s major cities.“
So at that very moment you’re hoping you can put police out there to try to deal with crime, you’re seeing the workforce shrinking with an unprecedented number of retirements and resignations,” PERF’s Executive Director Chuck Wexler told NPR.
While a shortage of recruits is no excuse for relaxing hiring standards for cops, it is a product of disastrous dynamics the Black Lives Matter movement and leftist elites have cultivated. There is a lot of power and money in stoking fears of racism and hatred. And it is all done at the cost of the safety of the American public, most especially black Americans like Nichols.

You know, in a way, "society" really is to blame for Nichols horrific death. American society turned upside down and inside out for nearly 50 years by something known as The Great Society. Everything that is wrong with America, or whatever the hell nation this has been transmogrified into since the last thing it looks like to me is America, can and should be blamed on Democrats, Leftists and the RINO flunkies who have profited and continue to profit off these nation-killing bloodsuckers.

Munchausen's by progressivism – so perfect an expression I wish I'd thought of it. Beat the host to near unconsciousness with a lead pipe and then ride in to the rescue with multi trillion dollar government programs that only succeed in flatlining him. Then, blame someone else for it. Isn't this the story of race relations and black America?

Look, there is absolutely ZERO excuse for what these cops did to Tyre Nichols, with the caveat that we still don't know the whole story of how he wound up on the receiving end of a murderous beating. It cannot be, as the racial arsonists and propagandists will no doubt insist that it was solely based on his melanin content. And that because the cops who did this were black were part of a white-controlled system and so, QED, they, too, are de facto white.

Funny how no one ever has the stones to ask these bastards the question, "Well if America is a white supremacist nation where black people have zero chance to ever get ahead, how do you account for Barack Obama and Oprah Winfrey? Either they are too stupid to realize they're Uncle Toms or they are willingly working for the masters."

OR, the premise that America is a white supremacist nation where black people have zero chance to ever get ahead is complete and utter horseshit. Again, as I postulated yesterday, something that is so obvious and true yet people insist on believing their lying eyes. Is there racism? Can individual people be racist? Yes and yes. But nowhere in history has a society ever gone through what it did to try and eradicate the evils of the past, and some in the present, to try and build a more perfect union. And the fact that we are a multi-ethnic and multi-religion society makes the fact that we achieved what we have achieved in so short a time that much more miraculous. And "exceptional."

The unforgivable crime is those who have sought, and are indeed on the cusp of, absolute power have spent nearly one hundred years putting us at each other's throats so as to gain that power. Look at this Critical Crackpot Race Theory poison. Aside from distorting and perverting historical facts, the essence of the whole enterprise is to define America by it's flaws and the "original sin" as it were of slavery, not by the fact of how we as a people have tried and continue to try to overcome our flaws.

So Psaki-psircling back to Munchausen's by progressivism, the Left destroyed the police and made life unbearable for cops in uniform and for potential candidates to join the force. DEI (D-I-E) dictated that skin color, gender, sexual deviance and everything under the sun EXCEPT actual competence would be the criteria for hiring. And when even those candidates were not around, the bottom of the barrel was scraped. As it obviously was in Memphis. So, the race hustlers got the cops they wanted, and when yet another black male "who was just turning his life around" dies at their hands, it's still the fault of white supremacy and America as founded. Self-licking Ice Cream Cone Status: [x] Licked.

Meanwhile, in another part of the forest, while everyone is getting all worked up over another victim of Democrat-Leftism, there's the other side of police incompetence. Except this time, it really is political terrorism.

In the span of a few weeks, not only did authorities release all relevant videos, the five officers were arrested, investigated by a grand jury, indicted on second degree murder charges, and fired by the Memphis Police Department.
Transparency and justice, to the extent it ever will ease his family’s grief, came quickly for Tyre Nichols.
That is not the situation for four Donald Trump supporters who died on January 6, either wholly or partially due to the actions of Capitol and D.C. Metropolitan police officers on duty that day. More than two years after the fact, body worn camera footage is only slowly being released at the criminal trials of January 6 defendants. (Only D.C. Metro police are required to wear body cameras.)
And the Department of Justice, unlike the city of Memphis, is making it nearly impossible for the general public to access the very limited trove, which has been uploaded to a platform created to house all digital evidence for the department’s “Capitol Siege” investigation.
But the unedited video—the government has produced cherry-picked clips from otherwise protected recordings to bolster the regime’s “insurrection” narrative in the media and in court—so far documents what I described last week as the worst incident of police brutality since the civil rights movement. Footage from just three D.C. Metro officers revealed how police wantonly and, in some cases, viciously attacked American citizens exercising their rights to protest at a government building. Cops used an arsenal of munitions, including rubber bullets, flashbangs, stinger balls, and massive amounts of chemical gas against protesters assembled on Capitol grounds. . .
. . . And what about releasing the body-worn camera footage of Lila Morris, the D.C. Metro officer who repeatedly struck Rosanne Boyland with either a baton or stick on January 6? Newly released open source footage shows a horrific scene after her beating as protesters attempted to resuscitate her as other officers looked on.
Body cam footage of Morris’ colleague, Officer Terence Craig, indicated he was in the lower west terrace tunnel when the attack on Boyland occurred. “She’s fucking dead! This is on you, motherfuckers!” one man screamed at the officers. “This is the woman you killed, you fuckers!”
But where is Morris’ body cam video or that of other officers near her on January 6? Surely Rosanne Boyland is entitled to the same level of transparency and accountability as Tyre Nichols, since she too was pepper sprayed and beaten—where is #JusticeforRosanne hashtag?
According to testimony by Robert Contee, then-acting chief of the Metropolitan Police Department, more than 1,000 of his officers were at the Capitol on January 6. Quick clips of a handful of officers, including Daniel Hodges, who repeatedly referred to Trump supporters as “terrorists” during his public testimony to the January 6 select committee in 2021, have been used to garner sympathy and stoke outrage.
If it’s acceptable to make public small segments of body camera footage from selected officers, then the Department of Justice and D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser should order the release of all footage on an accessible platform for the American people to see for themselves.
After all, Tyre Nichols isn’t the only victim entitled to the truth.

Except, Julie Kelly (which I know you know), some victims are more equal than others. While all this is going on, the DOJ has responded to Jim Jordan's demands for documents pertaining to Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants' crimes: FOAD.

When it comes to law enforcement, the fish stinks from the head. We're becoming both a lawless society and one where the book is thrown at those who refuse to knuckle under. A book? Hell, the entire library.

The protests were one thing. The local, state and federal GOVERNMENT REACTIONS to the riots and police forces was a bigger degrader of police moral.

The perception is that the only legal way to get ahead is to be a sports star, rapper, or utoob influencer. The illegal methods are more glorified though, and seemingly even more popular.

The common belief among the Left is that all white cishet males sit around in top hats and spats in the paneled libraries of their exclusive clubs discussing ways of screwing over womyn and BIPOC.

And, of course, like all beliefs common to the Left, it's completely wrong. It may come to a complete surprise to them, but the vast, vast majority of males are capable of keeping their hands to themselves and a respectful tongue in their heads, when they haven't been terrorized into not having anything to do with women at all.

This majority is just trying to keep their job, take care of their families, raise their kids and get a little peace and quiet with the hobbies they're allowed in the little spare time they have.

I think the stereotype the Left has of men is due to the king of men that are on the Left.

As a general trend, yeah - this seems to be happening. That said, it also appears that this is far worse in cities that are openly pro-criminal - places like Philly and Chicago and NYC and the like. Is Memphis on that list? I don't know. But if it isn't, it would seem likely that there's a different problem. If you're in a real city that doesn't play these games, it seems like recruiting cops should probably be easier than it used to be because of the mass resignations from other departments. Surely some (if not a lot) of them are willing to move.

Speaking of cops, I remember reading an article more than a few years ago where a cop was let go, because he was "too smart."

Evidently, his IQ was around 120 and, therefore, he was deemed too intelligent to be a beat cop. In fact, if memory serves, the basic question was, "If you're this smart, why do you want to be a cop?"

Grain of salt and all that, but, I, if there is a kernel of truth to the story, well, I can see another reason why "the best and brightest" are not in the police force.

Isn't it funny, as in as obvious as the nose on Klinger's face, that the Left's MO to eradicate anything they don't like goes like this:

[This thing] needs to be banned because it's causing global warming.

Then comes the trickle of "expert" studies (always one-sided, always dubious), then comes the "recommendations" by appropriate bureaucratic agencies who really run the US gov't, then comes the scarcity of [this thing], then comes the outright eradication of [this thing] because of various market pressures. Light bulbs, gas stoves, pickup trucks, gas-powered vehicles, lawn equipment, etc.... This sky is limitless.

That isn't what America is anymore.

We are now a more diverse population and the percentage of it that is comprised of white Christians is already into a minority position and will continue to diminish.

At some point, it will be time to pivot the justice system to mirror the countries that other predominant cultures in America hail from. In many ways the justice system that blacks people prefer very closely mimics what you see in African nations, a more street level, strongman-led system of corrupt power.

During the course of the annual meeting, it came out my former town is under the microscope, because they're number one in officer involved shootings in the nation. From what I gather, Colin Kaepernik is trying to make an issue of a recent police shooting in which a guy was "shot in the back" by the cops. Well, he got shot in the back because he decided to get in a gun fight with cops. Naturally, "He was a good boy" who didn't deserve to get shot in the back. Yeah, well, little Dindoo had a rap sheet as long as his arm.

Anyway, sounds like BLMAntifa is looking to create the conditions necessary for the riot they didn't pull off during the nationwide Saint George Celebration, for fear of getting shot.

If J6 wasn't enough for Whoopi, perhaps she should know that in 2022, 374 white people were shot to death by cops in the US, compared to 220 black people (332 race unknown, but if they were black, I think someone would have noted that). By the way, the racial group most likely to be killed by police as a percentage of their total population? Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders.

A pickup truck is an indication you can get shit done without Big Brother. When I had one my wife would drive it too, because four wheel drive made her feel safe driving in snow. My daughter learned to drive it, and would practice parallel parking in the driveway between cones I set up for her. She aced her drivers test on first try.

I remember my leftist sister taunting me about penis size or some shit like that after I bought it. Leftists don't like people who can get shit done without government 'help'.

“It should be that child’s own choice, ” he said. “If we wanna tell who we wanna tell, like, that’s on us.”

Yes, but they aren't usually in inventory because most regular buyers want something more like that 4-door/short-bed configuration because in a lot of places, the pickup truck is also the family car. But that style of truck is still made, at least by Ford and GM. You will probably need to talk to a dealer to have it specced out for you, though. Those trucks are, per my understanding, more the domain of fleet sales. You can get one, but it probably won't be sitting on the lot waiting for you to buy it.

In a very underreported story just before Putin invaded Ukraine there was a "grassroots uprising" in another former Soviet satellite, Kazakstan. Putin sent troops into Kazakstan to help put down the uprising and very publicly said he would not allow anymore color revolutions in eastern Europe. He actually used the term color revolutions. Just like the one run in Ukraine in 2014.

And we had a large bio lab in Kazakstan as well.

For those who look at this from a more spiritual perspective, its fun to see when they let you in on the joke:

They mean DEI, which is Latin for many gods. As in Genesis 6 they talk about the "bene elohim" or plural of little-'g' god.

As in the days of Noah, they had people who considered themselves gods. These people didn't make a religion of Climate Change, they are gods who define morality, decide what can be eaten, where you can live, and more recently decide even what sex you are. Climate Change is merely the vector for them to demonstrate their power over the weather, C19 is to show their power over disease and life.

Adults have full privacy. If your two year old is getting treated for heroin addiction and doesn't want you to know, by law the medical providers are not allowed to even confirm they are treating your child. Oh, you'll be paying for it though.

Anyway, the Leftists are going to determine that education is mental health treatment and that is what they will use to shield from Sage's law. Virginia has long believed it should stand in place of parents. Don't get me started on CPS.

WeatherTech, Husky or RINO floor mats. I have a set in my truck, both front and back. Fit like a glove. I haven't seen the actual carpeting in years, except when I do a deep cleaning and then the carpet looks brand new. Same for the Explorer. 3 rows of seats and the cargo area.

I'm inclined to agree. The color revolution is over, and while black grievance was a very useful tool in it, black people will not be enjoying a seat at the power table. They'll get the same old handful of white-adjacent toadies they always got.

Meanwhile, it seems that at least half of official DC is gayer than a rainbow farting unicorn with Monkeypox.

229 Here's a tangentially related case, highlighting apologism: Local murder trial of a 19y/o kid who killed and dismembered (including decapitating) a homeless man within 100 yds of the Sheriff's compound and Criminal Justice Center. Mental Health professionals called by the defense demonstrate their ongoing inability to accurately predict human behavior by testifying that he made statements like 'why shouldn't we steal from people, it's what we were meant to do', and yet he "knew the difference between right and wrong".

In other words, don't blame me, he was fine when I evaluated him, I am not culpable in any way. And don't blame him, he was troubled. Yeah sure, he admitted to another mental health counselor that he admired Hitler, Ted Bundy and the Columbine school killers. But was categorized as low risk, low end of the autism scale, nothing 42 sessions of counseling won't fix, eh? More likely he had nascent schizophrenia, given his age and subsequent events.

As the Two Bobs might ask these mental health professionals (add your own scare quotes), "What is it you would say you do around here?"

Look at the "Billy Jack" trope - lone man comes into crime-ridden town where the people are crushed and proceeds to clear out the evil.

Too many people - especially on 'our' side - still put their trust in American institutions such as courts and laws and congress and expect them to at some point do the right thing, when it is simply not going to happen. The corruption is too much and too deep and cannot be voted out.

Yep. Talked to my brother -- Chicago police officer -- about this a few years ago. He said that is the exact attitude of the majority of the Chicago police force... no reason to bother giving full effort to arrest people for most crimes, when the DA refuses to bring charges and just releases them. He said the attitude of most is to just get through the day alive and just hope there is nothing that puts them in a situation to have to try to arrest someone and get turned into a viral BLM propaganda video.

The used car market is crazy right now so prices are distorted, but in normal times private sales and trade in are terrible (I'm sure trade in still is, and probably private sales, too). People know the batteries are massively expensive to replace, and that they will have to be replaced.

Go to craigslist and search for EVs. Keep in mind that ICE vehicles that are 2-3 years old are often selling for more than the new purchase price. EVs aren't doing that.

No one wants them.

Ironically, since most people can't afford to construct their own refinery but can still get the public to underwrite a portion of you installing solar panels, the EV is the most freedom capable vehicle on the roads. For as long as you have a network of independent solar power producers with whom you can trade, you can operate your vehicle and get around a whole lot better than someone who is exposed to the government shutting off suitable gasoline/diesel.

Also important is that there are essentially no crimes committed with these pistols, and they're almost all self-defense tools. Searching for info on crimes yields one result.

So 40M pistols, and one crime.

Like pickup trucks, though, I'm betting it's mainly a white male/western civilization demographic.

Got hit by a car when I was a kid (save your observations). It was a Cadillac driven by a pre-cambrian soccer mom.

Kids are hard targets.

364 Whale oil is good stuff for guns. Low freezing point and it doesn't varnish. It was used a lot for precision stuff like sewing machines and was the lubricant of choice for high end auto transmissions in the early days. Cliff Claven, signing out.

Of course! Eliminate the Christian ethos from police work and then they will enforce whatever morality they are told to enforce by The Powers That Be. They then don't have to try and reconcile their orders with their Christian belief system, which leads to internal conflict and they might then start questioning those orders.

That is how you get police officers beating people down for not wearing a mask, throwing people in jail for opening their business doors during LockDown™, or standing in front of Planned Parenthood

370 I assume means you replace tires twice as often.

It's not just the tires. They're going to handle like an overpowered medium truck, which might come as a shock to a status-conscious former sport sedan owner. Stopping distances will be longer, even with more substantial brakes (which will also wear faster, and spew !carcinogens!), and although you can control sway, there is no canceling inertia.

At the very least, there should be a special driving test and license endorsement for EV's.

A. Seamen.

374 "Is Donald Trump Worth the Fight?"

You're goddamned right he is! Look at what that man has endured by our vile political establisment UniParty the last seven fucking years!? Could YOU have withstood it?! I couldn't have.

We know exactly what WE are getting with him: secure border, endless cheap energy leading to deflated organic economic growth, trade and societal protections, using economic leverage(which might be gone now) as a primary weapon of war rather than sending guys downrange...

With anyone else we have multinational donor control. Period.

Quit letting trivial matter like 'hiring John Bolton' bother you as Trump deferred to competent people like Pompeo, Ross, and Lighthizer, et al.

No, you don't. When I think back to the basic girl names around the time I was born (early 60s), most of the names I recall, including those of my friends throughout school, just aren't popular anymore. Then again, times change. I'm ever so thankful my mom didn't pull an old-timey name out of the hat and call me Myrtle.

Cindy was born two months after me, same year. I had a crush on her the first time I saw her in American Graffiti back in 1973. My wife and I were married a little over a year when we saw the movie together. Cindy reminded me how much she and my wife resembled each other. RIP, Cindy. You were a little cutie. And from all accounts, a very sweet person as well. God speed.

Did anyone reply with the video of the white woman Rosanne Boyland beaten to death by Capitol Police on 01/06/21?

Side note, interesting to see that the NYT published an article on 01/15/21 stating that Rosanne Boyland died because she was crushed to death under a "pro-Trump mob". First search result on Yahoo search for "white woman beaten to death jan 6".

Rosanne Boyland died after losing consciousness in the crush of a pro-Trump mob as it surged against the police. Here’s how it happened.

381 Two Americans were murdered by the police on 1/06 and the Leftists have celebrated this wanton act. Two additional Americans were murdered as a result of flashbangs thrown at them by the police for n reason.

All the videos have been concealed, the guilty protected and celebrated.

The corruption and evil of the Left is beyond comprehension. It’s time to protest in the same fashion of Antifa and BLM targeting those interests that support the Left.

I have zero respect or trust for Brandon and his posse.
