The Morning Report — 2/8/23

Good morning kids. Time is a funny thing. Three years can feel like the blink of an eye or as long ago as a distant memory. The mood of the nation, at least those of us who have a love for this nation and what it once stood for, was diametrically opposite of what it is today. The man who was president – in every sense of that word in terms of leadership, character, mind, body and spirit, and legitimacy – declared that the state of the union was sound. In almost every way possible, domestically and foreign policy wise, the United States of America and its people were prospering and had a sense of hope about the future like never before. The only other times I personally felt nearly that optimistic were during the Bicentennial and the height of the Reagan years culminating in the dismantling of the Berlin Wall.

But what President Donald Trump, nor perhaps anyone could have known was that the malignant force that had been rotting us out from the inside for nearly a century was about to turn our world upside down. Two things during that magnificent evening three years ago were harbingers of what was to come, and what is. First was the presentation of the Presidential Medal of Freedom to one of this nation's greatest patriots, Rush Limbaugh who had less than a month earlier announced his diagnosis with stage 4 lung cancer. The other came at the very end when the ex-Speaker of the House dramatically and theatrically tore up a copy of the address a nanosecond after Trump said "God bless America."

"A republic, if you can keep it," as Benjamin Franklin perhaps prophetically stated about the prospects for the future of the nation he helped lay the foundation for. Knowing the foibles of human nature, he and his compatriots tried as best they could to include as many safeguards to try and insulate the republic from harm. But, as is all too evident, Franklin's worst fears did indeed come to pass because, as was amply demonstrated with last night's debasement of truth, morality and decency, we just couldn't "keep it."

62% of Americans don’t think Biden has done very much as president. Only 18% think that his policies have made life better for their families. In response to numbers like that, Joe Biden spent the State of the Union screaming, whispering and mumbling a stream of lies.
Once again, Biden falsely claimed to have created record jobs and record unemployment rates by virtue of not imposing more lockdowns, when there are actually millions fewer workers in the workforce in his miserable economy. He claimed to have brought gas prices down, when they’re actually higher than they were when he took office. From there he blamed forest fires on global warming, lied about the tax system, insulin costs, the deficit, the debt limit and everything else.
But in the most shameless moment of the State of the Union, Biden falsely accused Republicans of wanting to eliminate Social Security and Medicare when he was the one who had spent much of his career working to cut Medicare and Social Security. It was Obama who had pledged to spend “some political capital” to make the “very difficult choices and issues of sacrifice and responsibility and duty”.and tasked Biden with helping make those cuts. . .
. . . The rotten foundation of Biden’s State of the Union address was faking empathy. The empathy falls apart on even casual inspection. After declaring war on the police and denouncing America as racist over the death of Tyre Nichols, Biden mispronounced his name as “Tyler”. While he implored viewers to think of the parents whose children never came home, thousands of parents have lost children to violent crime, including from the illegal migrants he released into America.
In Maryland, Kayla Hamilton, a 20-year-old autistic girl, was strangled to death by an MS-13 gang member only months after the Biden administration released him into the country. . .
. . . Biden has worsened the lives of every American. Most have lost income, savings and plans for the future. Others have suffered even more. These crimes have only been mentioned in passing. The nation’s top Democrat described schools being closed, passive voice, when it was his party that forcibly shuttered schools and destroyed the educational potential of a generation. He demanded that we mourn those lives lost to the pandemic when it was his political allies who forced COVID patients into nursing homes resulting in the worst deaths of the pandemic. He told the story of a girl who died of a fentanyl overdose while failing to mention that his appeasement of China and open border policies are leading to overdoses across America. . .
. . . According to a New York Times article, Biden “read drafts aloud from top to bottom” and “practiced in front of teleprompters” to make “sure the language was relatable and clear” and “marked up his speech with subtle lines and dashes” to tell him when “to take a breath, pause between his words or steer through a tricky transition.” All that practice paid off as he rushed through his lies, mumbled, whispered, screamed and fumbled laugh lines and applause lines.
But as bad as Biden’s State of the Union delivery was, the policies in it are much worse. . .
. . . All the misery that we have experienced since the ballot harvesters of the nation selected him is only just the beginning. The DNC has rigged the primaries for Biden and the party’s leaders have endorsed him for a second term. And his speech warns us that the worst is yet to come.

Daniel Greenfield sums it up and Fisks it fairly well. If you want to give yourself an aneurysm, here's the full text of the spiel courtesy of Breitbart.

At this point, the whole thing is a farce. Yet the more pain, suffering, abuse, degradation and dissolution Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants heaps upon us, the more they lie, double down and ramp up the attacks on anyone who dares make mention of the emperor's new double-breasted skin-suit. Now with more wrinkles, moles, lesions, hematomas and encrusted fromunda cheese curds and dingleberries than previous.

The entire world saw our national security laid bare when a giant, stratospheric Chinese spy balloon drifted lazily across our nation, loitering above some of our ICBM silos before finally being shot down, after it was allowed to drift a few thousand miles to the east off the coast of South Carolina. And what did Biden say about it last night?

[so-called quote-unquote "president"] Joe Biden during his Tuesday night address to the nation made no mention of the Chinese spy balloon that his administration allowed to traverse the continental United States just last week, a major international incident that has dominated the attention of the American public.
Biden spent just a few minutes of his more than an hour long State of the Union speech on China, which has threatened to retaliate against the United States for shooting down the spy balloon. The president made just one apparent reference to the balloon, stating that his administration demonstrated that it will stand up to threats. . .
. . . While Biden made no mention of China's spy balloon, he claimed during the speech that the United States is "in the strongest position in decades to compete with China or anyone else in the world."

Actually, Biden went off script and off his meds with this little aside:

“Autocracy has grown weaker not stronger. Name me a world leader who would change places with Xi Jinping,” Biden shouted. “Name me one! Name me one!”
Biden said America is “rallying the world” to meet challenges from climate to global health. When discussing China specifically, he said he “seeks” competition but not conflict with America’s number one geopolitical rival.
Some observers of the speech criticized the ad-libbed Xi remark. Washington Post foreign policy columnist Josh Rogin said there are “dozens” of world leaders who would “happily” trade places with Xi Jinping.

When even a lying WaPo ~~columnist~~ Communist calls out this idiocy . . . then again, Rogin was probably thinking names like Netanyahu, Bolsonaro or Trump. Then again then again, the international Emanuel Goldstein du jour is Vladimir Putin, and not the Chi-Coms. After all such great thinkers from Thomas Friedman to LeBron James to such symbols of American free enterprise like Nike and Disney have perpetual hard-ons for the latter. Or at least the latter's slave labor camps. But I digress.

All of this is a joke, a farce, a farce of a joke of a satire of two thigh-slappers of a guffaw. But it is deadly, deadly serious. Donald Trump nailed it in his response to this waking nightmare:

“Here’s the real State of the Union: Over the past two years under Biden, millions and millions of illegal aliens from 160 different countries have stormed across our southern border. . .
. . . “[s]avage killers, rapists, and violent criminals are being released from jail to continue their crime wave.” “Biden and the radical Democrats have wasted trillions of dollars and caused the worst inflation in half a century. Real wages are down 21 months in a row, gas prices have soared and are now going much higher than even before, and the typical American family is paying $2,200 in increased energy and food costs each year. . . "
. . . “They’re trying to indoctrinate and mutilate our children. [Biden is] leading us to the brink of World War III, and on top of all of that, he’s the most corrupt President in American history, and it’s not even close.”
[Trump then pledged he would] “reverse every single crisis, calamity, and disaster that Joe Biden has created [if elected president, vowing he will] complete the unfinished business of Making America Great Again.”

With all due respect and indeed admiration for Trump, what he accomplished and what he had tried to do and dreams of continuing, making America great again, is never going to happen for the simple fact that America as founded no longer exists. In calling Biden "the most corrupt President in American history" (which is true) it presupposes and supports the notion that Biden is in fact the president, both in terms of wielding power as well as in the legitimacy of the election that installed him in that office.

The notion of even having a State of the Union address is itself a joke. We no longer have a union, politically, governmentally or societally. Almost as offensive to me personally than Biden and what he mouthed was the fact that the entire GOP, instead of boycotting the speech en masse, attended the thing in the first place. Meh, I guess they had to. But it's all an illusion.

As to the notion of making America great again, I want to make America AMERICA again. The way our government is set up coupled with a political party that is every bit as anti-American as the red Chinese, an opposition party that's a venal, corrupt farce, and perhaps as much as one third of the country that is fully on board with all of this, there is no real way forward. At least in terms of electoral politics, as that too has been thoroughly corrupted.

The only way forward that I can see is a mass movement with the goal of both a political and dare I say it cultural revolution. One that prevents as best as possible the mindset of those who have done this to us going back 100 years from ever being allowed to have any kind of influence politically and societally.

If that means we have to ditch the Constitution as written, so be it. I'm done with this. Yet another Leftist perverted slogan, in the cold light of day, deserves a second look:

"The Constitution is not a suicide pact." A-fucking-men to that.

ABOVE THE FOLD, BREAKING, NOTEWORTHY

Richard Fernandez: The media once assumed science would tell us the right; yet it will make a nuclear bomb or a nuclear power plant with equal indifference because technology answers "how" but it is silent on "what" or "why." AI will ask: "whom do you serve?" and our nihilistic society has no answer. But by contrast both the Communists and Woke will have plenty to say. After all, they have a religion, and we no longer do.

My wife couldn't believe I would miss the SOTU, and not watch.

But I can't stand watching a country decline right before my eyes, personified by that piece of filth as President, glorying in ending the Trump economy, the Trump peace in the world, the formerly closed Trump border now wide open to drug imports and terror suspects streaming across, and the Trump "strong America" in the Pacific policies now replaced with Mockery.

73 For those that actually watched the SOTU last night, how accurate is MSNBC's description on a YouTube post:

WATCH: President Biden faced down Republican hecklers during his State of the Union address last night.

The description on the actual video clip is a bit different:

Biden faces down animated Republican audience defying McCarthy's wish for decorum. Garrett Haake, senior Capitol Hill correspondent for NBC News, reports on what it was like inside the chamber as President Biden faced down Republican hecklers in the audience of his State of the Union address, and why House Speaker Kevin McCarthy was likely not pleased at his Republican colleagues acting out.

"Acting Out"? The left trying to make Republicans look like children...I should go watch some TikToks of trans-weirdos flipping out when they get "misgendered" and reconsider "acting out".

But to deliver such a response in the same flat, deadly, measured voice of Breitbart, and then to follow with a coherent and blistering declamation of this corrupt, fraudulent regime and its media Riefenstahls would signal to me that we're at least trying to fight fire with fire.

Sure we do. Same as them: Progressivism. The vast majority of our countrymen - even many who think otherwise - believe in Progressivism, not Christianity. What you're missing is that they are the priests and prophets (and inquisitors) thereof. We* accept their received wisdom in exchange for the promise of a heaven on earth. Of course, some of us are more aware of how all their promises turn out.

(* Not me, but an awful lot of people, including those who would claim "conservatism" or some such.)

I'm really disappointed no one snuck in a balloon to let loose during Biden's speech. Print "PRICE$" in English and Chinese on both sides and let it rise to the ceiling.

NEW - Police said Wednesday they had seized enough cocaine to supply New Zealand for 30 years

||Police said Wednesday they had seized enough cocaine to supply New Zealand for 30 years, after snaring a massive bundle of drugs floating in the Pacific Ocean.

New Zealand police commissioner Andrew Coster told reporters the haul — containing 81 bales of cocaine — weighed 3.2 tonnes and had a street value of around $316 million.

“This is the largest find of illicit drugs by New Zealand’s agencies by some margin,” he said.

Officials believe the drugs were dropped at a “floating transit point” in the Pacific Ocean, where they would have been picked up and taken to Australia.||

113 Biden’s foreign and defense policies are a tragedy of errors. The balloon illustrates how tragic. It should never have entered U.S. airspace, but because he waited days to take action, Biden will undoubtedly go overboard and look for a proxy war with China: can you say Taiwan?

I dislike Biden with the best of them. However, this is why I despise most of the current "conservative" press. It's red team vs blue team nonsense. According to all reports, Biden wanted it shot down once it was discovered. The military ignored him. The same military that ignored Trump. That's the bigger issue. That and a trillion dollar military gets us incompetence and an inability to spot a balloon.

125 In calling Biden "the most corrupt President in American history" (which is true) it presupposes and supports the notion that Biden is in fact the president, both in terms of wielding power as well as in the legitimacy of the election that installed him in that office.

Biden was truly and properly elected President. The EC cast their votes and he was their choice.

The members of the EC may not have been properly selected... we all know what we believe and the fact that no official organ of the any government will permit scrutiny certainly bolsters that belief but Biden was elected. He is the President. To pretend otherwise puts us into the same magical thinking category as the idiots who actually cast a ballot for him.

I love it when press whores play games to shore up their guy. Is it Biden's fault? No, not entirely. Is he making it radically worse? Yes. So is his Party. If you want to deal with Fentanyl, you *have* to deal with the southern border and do so comprehensively to cut off supply. You have to deal with fentanyl addicts in this country, which the cities at least are utterly unwilling to do (instead, they coddle them). Fentanyl is a tremendous problem that will take years to sort out even if we do the right things, but the president and his party are all-in on doing the wrong things.

But it isn't his fault, you see, because he isn't manufacturing and distributing the stuff personally.

American team. At the press briefing that followed, Biden defiantly said, “If Russia invades . . . there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it.”

Twenty days earlier, Undersecretary Nuland had delivered essentially the same message at a State Department briefing, with little press coverage. “I want to be very clear to you today,” she said in response to a question. “If Russia invades Ukraine, one way or another Nord Stream 2 will not move forward.”

Several of those involved in planning the pipeline mission were dismayed by what they viewed as indirect references to the attack.

“It was like putting an atomic bomb on the ground in Tokyo and telling the Japanese that we are going to detonate it,” the source said. “The plan was for the options to be executed post invasion and not advertised publicly. Biden simply didn’t get it or ignored it.”

224 ‘Smooch of the Union’: US first lady steals show with wayward kiss
Did they, or didn’t they?

For a surreal moment — just as Joe Biden prepared to deliver his State of the Union speech — his wife Jill Biden stole the show by appearing to plant a kiss smack on the lips of the vice president’s husband.

“Smooch of the Union,” teased the New York Post tabloid — zoom-ing in on photos of what it declared without a doubt to have been a kiss on the mouth.
Other close-ups of the embrace seemed to show Biden’s kiss landing just to one side of Kamala Harris’s husband’s mouth.

But Fox News — a frequent critic of Biden’s administration — pounced on the apparent slip-up without the shadow of a doubt.

And Donald Trump’s former advisor Kellyanne Conway shared a picture of the smooch with similar delight, quipping: “Wow, Covid really is over.”

That is the federal law that takes gun rights away from anyone with a civil order of protection against them. In Texas every divorce case includes such orders. Because an order of protection can be issued to anyone on mere allegation, and does not require a trial for issuance (you can't defend yourself against such allegations in court), the courts held they can't be used to take away gun rights.

253 What I'm implying with a "tax holiday" is for people to not pay any taxes owed to FedGov. If several million or more taxpayers said fuck it and didn't file I think I would cause some concern. It would also unleash the IRS. That's a given.

However...

It would be a major disruption to FedGov. Huge. It would get their attention in ways bitching and moaning isn't. Whether that would be good or bad is debatable but I doubt any sort of revolt by the plebs is going to result in change for the positive right now. This type of thing hurts FedGov in the purse.

This is my point about the whole deal. We know they are not opposed to lying. This is probably a lie by some stretch, so why not come up with a better one.

'I overrulled the Pentagon when they wanted to shoot down the drone. We had established that it was not a nuclear threat, but if it was biological, they could not assure me of the destruction of the payload. I would not take that chance while it was over the country.'

What is the Pentagon going to do, dispute that (or something like it?) Maybe. Who the hell knows, but none of it quite makes sense.

280 "Biden said America is “rallying the world” to meet challenges from climate to global health."

Sure, the genocide of a million or more by forced withholding of early treatment, the dangerous jab forced on young people (at near zero threat from Covid), and the various continued measures to forces masks and control people's medical decisions ... the world's globalists rallied AGAINST the people.

And of course "climate challenge" is another tool of globalist control, making energy so expensive people are dying either from cold, or making food too expensive to either produce it or buy it.

293 One long-winded DU review was just embarrassing:

Keith Olbermann: Hi, Professional Cynic Here, the President just gave the best State of the Union speech I've ever heard.

It was pretty doggone good, gotta say. Human, vulnerable, but fiery with conviction about doing things to help people, like it's his life's mission or something. He was inspired, and MOST compelling, and sincere as all-get-out. VERY real. Honest and sympathetic. Friendly, sincere, and totally non-threatening. His demeanor is such that you automatically are comfortable and non-threatened, but still intellectually and morally challenged and intrigued. He has a way of communicating that really reaches into you.

I'm just continually impressed with this guy. I thought he'd be good, but shit - he's really got something. All those years in the Senate, many of them as Chairman of significant committees. And he has a heart.

I think his presidency took a big turn today. Loaded up on power, conviction, sincerity, ideas, and action. They'll be talking about 2024, and him, more and more, and in a positive way. Dramatically moreso than before that speech.

Dissolve the federal agencies by attrition and removing authorization. Pretty much every state has its own version of a federal agency; regulations made up to deal with a political problem in New Jersey is oppression in Alaska.

With the dissolution of the Party Military's capability to project power, shipping lanes will become a problem and only countries that can support themselves are going to thrive in the next age.

317 On Tuesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Ingraham Angle,” House Majority Leader Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) stated that during his exchange over cuts to Social Security and Medicare, President Joe Biden finally seemed to realize that Republicans don’t want to cut Social Security and Medicare and claiming they do is a lie.

Scalise said, “He talked about this false premise of somebody that wants to get rid of Medicare and Social Security. He loves throwing this out there, and we called him on it.

322 233 Two federal district courts, in different districts, and the 5th circuit court of appeals, have found 18 USC 922 g3 unconstitutional. That is the federal law that takes gun rights away from anyone with a civil order of protection against them. In Texas every divorce case includes such orders. Because an order of protection can be issued to anyone on mere allegation, and does not require a trial for issuance (you can't defend yourself against such allegations in court), the courts held they can't be used to take away gun rights.

One of the more obscene abuses of the "domestic violence" lies.
Right up there with "more women get beat on Super Bowl Sunday" lie.

No, there never was any measurable rate of "husband who shot their wife because she filed divorce." Never. It's a gross false assumption of the inherent nature of men that would be illegal if even uttered about any minority.

But no one would dare vote against "if it saves just one life." Meanwhile, assuming men are violent murderers one tick away from a violent rampage gets codified into law.

This time Chinese leaders accepted that South Korea’s criticism is valid, and that the real problem is North Korea and its nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs. China has noted that the North Korea nuclear and missile threat was the primary reason that so many nations in the region increased military spending and anti-missile defenses. These nations also formed an anti-North Korea coalition that also served as an anti-China force

Or Hillary wearing diff colored suits with each debate with Trump and announcing that she was wearing [this color] tonight to represent [whatever].

This is middleschool stuff. Fashion can be fun, and there's no reason to wear boring suits all the time, but. . . it's just fashion. Announcing your outfit carries some political message/importance is an embarrassment to women. Did Synema make any such announcement, or did she just decide she wanted to be visible among a sea of suits in the audience?

In which naturalfake explains a joke:

There was a comment above about Sinema's all yellow dress might be showing support for Ukraine. But, Ukraine flag also has blue.

So, as a joke, a jape, a prank as it were, I pretended that Sinema's all yellow dress wearing might be for another flag which contains yellow.

That being the flag of the state of New Mexico.

...heh.

This concludes naturalfake's explanation of his leeeeeedle tiny but confusing joke.

389 Rep. Beth Van Duyne looked pissed at Brandon last night, when he tried to claim he was really the greatest border president evah. She looked ready to rise up, go up there to the podium, and smack a bitch.

390 "COVID-19: 350,831
Accidents (unintentional injuries): 200,955
So that puts it with COVID and above accidental deaths."

and probably half (or more) Covid deaths were those that died WITH (not From) Covid. While deaths from the jab are ongoing, and almost certainly underreported. Plus longer term mRNA jab harm is not quantified.

391 Did everyone enjoy the dems wearing Abortion pins last night?

That is about as low as this country has gone.

392 Broadcaster Amol Rajan from the BBC asked Gates in an interview that aired last Friday how he responds to criticism he uses private planes generating outsized carbon emissions while urging political and business leaders to act aggressively against “climate change.”

Gates replied he more than offsets his own emissions by paying for the removal of atmospheric carbon dioxide. He was speaking after having flown to Kenya before the interview.

“Well, I buy the gold standard, of funding Climeworks, to do direct air capture that far exceeds my family’s carbon footprint,” the Microsoft co-founder said, repeating an argument often used by other members of the global elites.

393 Pedocrats know the gibzmedat programs are unaffordable. And they're the only ones talking about paring them back.

Meanwhile, #conservatives cling to unaffordable gibzmedats.

394 Sorry JJ, but Trump referring to Biden as "the most corrupt president in history" does NOT mean Trump is giving a cent of legitimacy to Biden's rule. It's simply acknowledging that Biden is in the office, despite the coup that got him into that office. And just in case this is some indirect, tongue-in-cheek attempt to sway Trump supporters towards a Conservative Inc. favorite who also happens to be governor of a certain coastal state, let me state this hard truth:
I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR RON DESANTIS OR ANY OTHER REPUBLICAN UNTIL TRUMP IS GIVEN THE SECOND TERM HE RIGHTFULLY WON IN 2020.
Right the wrong (that the Republicans took part in) or DIE as a political party.
There's your choices.
And guess what? Tens upon tens of millions of voters like me share the exact same sentiment. And if the detested RNC thinks that 2022 was tainted due to more Democrat vote fraud chicanery, they also need to consider how many Trump supporters decided to stab the G.O.P. in the eye and stayed home last November, or - like me - voted for comicbook characters in order to send the COC Party a big FUCK YOU!
If my president doesn't get his term back, I'll work to burn the Republican Party to ashes.

395 it presupposes and supports the notion that Biden is in fact the president, both in terms of wielding power as well as in the legitimacy of the election that installed him in that office.

The notion of even having a State of the Union address is itself a joke. We no longer have a union, politically, governmentally or societally. Almost as offensive to me personally than Biden and what he mouthed was the fact that the entire GOP, instead of boycotting the speech en masse, attended the thing in the first place.

Yep. For a guy who plays 12th dimensional chess, his messaging since the Steal sucks. He constantly uses the language and framing of the enemy. This, more than anything, tells me he's more about his own ego than the success of the country or any #movement.

396 does NOT mean Trump is giving a cent of legitimacy to Biden's rule.

Trump did this in his speech on Jan 7, when he told you to make nice with Pedocrats and threw the J6ers under the bus. You should read his speech.

398 ""The man who allegedly attacked Paul Pelosi, David DePape, is an illegal immigrant who expressed a mix of fringe political views across the political spectrum." (and Pelosi likely invited him in for sex - jjs)"
The deep state/swamp has decided the messaging on the Pelosi incident: "Paul Pelosi was victim of political violence." The exact same phrasing was used by Biden and in a "news" story on NPR earlier in the day.
BTW, I disagree that DePage was there for gay sex. He was just a delusional idiot. Paul Pelosi was a victim, alright, not of political violence, but of his wife's (and her party's) policies, namely "affirmative action" or whatever they call it now, combined with good old patronage.
The Capitol Police (full of patronage/AA hires) had - on live video, 3000 mi of full motion at your expense, BTW- DePage hammering at the knob and breaking glass of a French door at the residence. They were doing the usual: fucking off and collecting a federal paycheck. Pelosi wakes up and confronts the nut who is wearing shorts, not underwear.

399 Continued
Pelosi is in his underwear, not unusual for bed. He convinces the clown to let him make a call, and he runs into another "diversity" hire. The level of obtuse stupidity he encounters on the other end of the surreptitious 911 call is epic. After missing every hint, the operator wishes him a nice day and hangs up, then decides that the old man sounded confused, and dispatches the SFPD for a - wait for it - wellness check! The feckless officers show up, and, having had even justified aggressiveness defund-the-police'd out of them, watch DePage's not-so-silver hammer come down on Paul's head. Every mistake made was a direct result of Democratic Party policies.
