The Morning Report — 2/15/23

Good morning kids. I've had enough already with the Chi-Com balloon-acy, and the toxic disaster Ohio train derailment; although before I leave that subject, in response to the troll or trolls who evidently share one particular name, and think what happened in Ohio would not have happened if the railroads were only regulated, well, at least half a dozen or more federal agencies regulate the living shit out of the railroads – off the top of my head, there's the DOT, ICC, FRA and the NTSB, as well as OSHA, Dept. of Labor and the EPA. This accident happened in spite of the presence of the aforementioned. Whatever problems that might have existed with the rolling stock, the track, the loading of the chemicals at the plant, the competence of the train crew and freight handlers at the time notwithstanding, how would the addition of one more bureaucrat in any of the departments and agencies that deal with this have made any difference at all to what happened? Spoiler Alert: Fuck-all. See also: Gun control as the cure for shootings, mass or otherwise.

Troll also lambasted the greedy railroad corporations for caring more about profits over people. Troll seems to forget that his hero, President Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants imposed a settlement on the railroad unions to prevent a massive strike a month or so ago. It should also be noted that the "greedy corporations" are controlled mostly by noted "reich-wing conservatives" like Warren Buffet and Larry Fink, among a handful of others that are now hell bent on implementing such evil free market principles as DEI and ESG.

Now onto something completely different, yet getting lost in the stratosphere with a Swalwell-flatus-filled Hindenburg. It's the ongoing persecution of innocent civilians for their beliefs and the road to hell we find ourselves on should this situation not reverse itself. And all signs indicate that it will not.

We celebrate the acquittal of pro-life activist Mark Houck of the phony federal charges in Philadelphia on Monday, January 30.  We celebrate the savvy and grit of the Thomas More Society for standing in the legal breach to give Mark back to his wife and seven young children.
But let's be clear: the acquittal was less about justice being served and more about averting further injustice.  The sword of government appears to have turned away from protecting peaceful citizens to attacking them.  The very existence of a trial was a display of injustice, as the Department of Justice under the leadership of Attorney General Merrick Garland and the prosecution of Sanjay Patel abused taxpayer resources, targeting peaceful pro-lifers on trumped up FACE Act violations.
The Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances is a federal law designed, and almost exclusively used, to cool public pro-life speech around abortion facilities.  The FACE Act, on its face, is unconstitutional, robbing states of their Tenth Amendment rights to self-govern while unfairly targeting pro-life people.  The vast majority of the nearly 230 attacks on pro-life entities in 2022, many of which qualified as FACE Act violations, have gone unanswered by law enforcement.  Compare that to the 26 people, all peaceful pro-lifers, indicted for being publicly, peacefully pro-life.  But what does the DOJ do when real violence and conspiracy to deprive rights occur against pro-life people?  And what should be done to get America's justice system back on track?
Over eight months have elapsed since the arson attack of CompassCare's pro-life medical office as part of an organized nationwide terrorist campaign to shut down all public pro-life activity.  And only two indictments of Antifa-connected graffiti artists...but only after significant pressure on the DOJ and FBI from the media and Congress, accusing the DOJ of abdicating its duty to investigate the domestic terror and the abhorrent FBI SWAT raids of the homes of pro-life people.  The FBI attacks were joined by pro-abortion politicians' seditious rhetoric fomenting more violence and backed by Big Tech censorship, all with the express goal of shutting down, if not criminalizing public pro-life activity.
Justice will not be served for Houck or the American people until integrity is restored to the DOJ and FBI.

With all due respect to the author, one cannot restore something that likely never existed or if it did, at the margins. Recall that Mark Houck was literally dragged out of his home at gunpoint, in front of his young family, as if he were some sort of dangerous criminal or terrorist. Or, dare I say it, like Jews in hiding caught by the Gestapo. I will assume that the Thomas More Society worked pro bono, but while this is a victory in one sense, it is a massive defeat for the rule of law and for liberty. So, the DOJ lost the case but always remember, to them the process is the punishment. How many people are going to think twice about protesting after what happened to Houck? Not everyone will get pro bono lawyers, especially as bar associations become taken over by Marxists who will go after anyone who dares defend anyone who goes against Democrat-Leftist dogma and policy. Ditto that for doctors vis a vis the clot-shot and transgender mutilation of children.

And even defending your own life:

A 73-year-old Arizona cattle rancher, George Alan Kelly, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder for allegedly killing an illegal immigrant from Mexico who trespassed on the rancher’s private property. The alleged killing took place on January 30th. Mr. Kelly is in jail, unable to make the bail that was set at an outrageous $1 million. And so began Mr. Kelly’s experience with Kafkaesque injustice. Rather than receive government protection against repeated instances of trespassing and harassment by illegal immigrants, Mr. Kelly has been charged with murder and jailed for standing his ground on his own property. . .
. . . The charge of first-degree murder against Mr. Kelly is a gross abuse of power. He should be freed immediately and the murder charge should be withdrawn. First-degree murder involves taking another person’s life intentionally and with premeditation. The only premeditation here was Cuen-Butimea’s commission of the crime of knowingly entering the United States illegally and then unlawfully trespassing on Mr. Kelly’s private property. Mr. Kelly is being persecuted for defending himself, his wife, and his private property with the amount of force he deemed reasonably necessary under the circumstances.
Mr. Kelly claimed that he was at his own ranch earlier in the day on January 30th, according to his attorney, when he “saw a group of men moving through the trees around his home” who were “armed with AK-47 rifles, dressed in khakis and camouflaged clothing, and carrying large backpacks.”
Mr. Kelly, his attorney stated, saw an AK-47 pointed right at him and reacted by firing warning shots from his rifle “hoping to scare them away from him, his wife, his animals, and his home. As he shot, Mr. Kelly took care to aim well over the heads of the armed group of men.” Mr. Kelly denied firing directly at anybody. . .
. . . Yet law enforcement officers in Arizona, a stand your ground state, rushed to judgment with a first-degree murder rap against Mr. Kelly. And they imposed a grossly excessive bail on an elderly man who posed no flight risk. While Mr. Kelly has languished in jail, his wife has been home by herself facing possible further intrusions and being deprived of the care she needs from her husband.
To make matters even worse, GoFundMe removed fundraising campaigns from its website that had been set up to help Mr. Kelly collect enough money to satisfy the bail requirement.
GoFundMe tried to defend its action by citing its “long-standing policy” that “any fundraising campaigns for the legal defense of someone charged with murder are removed from our platform.” Evidently, the long-standing tenet of American law that one is innocent until proven guilty has eluded GoFundMe’s leaders despite its founder’s claim to the contrary. . .
. . . Mr. Kelly and his wife have been victimized repeatedly by illegal immigrants who have taken advantage of President Biden’s open border policies and intruded on the Kelly property. Border agents are kept busy processing the huge numbers of illegal immigrants claiming asylum for release rather than protecting the border. And then there are the many thousands of illegal immigrants who manage to elude border agents altogether. State and local law enforcement agencies have too often left ranchers like Mr. Kelly to fend for themselves because the police do not have the resources to handle the surge of illegal immigrants – some armed – who regularly trespass on private property and commit other crimes.
Sadly, now Mr. Kelly is being victimized once again. Only this time Mr. Kelly is being persecuted by law enforcement officers who have turned on him after having failed to protect the Kelly family and ranch in the first place.

Who needs gun control laws when, even in a state like Arizona (although its reputation as conservative/normal is now seriously in doubt considering recent elections), if you use a gun legally to defend yourself, you become the criminal? Talk about the dead fish wrapped in a flak jacket. Message received loud and clear to all legal gun owners. Although, it does tend to potentially send another kind of message.

The Constitution is our pact of civilized behavior.  From it we've derived a system of institutionalized justice, which we call our criminal justice system.  It's intended to include checks and balances to protect defendants from biases and ensure fair adjudication of their charges.  Those safeguards include the following:
- a presumption of innocence
- a right to due process
- a right to legal defense
- a right to a trial by one's peers
- a right to trial before an impartial judge
Given our presumption of innocence, absolute justice can't be guaranteed because conviction depends on the presence of evidence.  Instead, we have agreed to accept equal treatment under the law.  We agree to abide by the law in exchange for a system that treats us equally and is administered by officials who swear an oath to defend our constitutional protections.
Then Eric Holder, Loretta Lynch, and Merrick Garland came along as the country's top law enforcement officials and flushed it all.  Under them, the application of justice has become decidedly unequal.  Perfection was never possible, but now the claim of equal treatment has become laughable.  The foundation of our legal system is being eaten away by government termites — whose lust for power far exceeds their wisdom to wield it. . .
. . . When the core principles of our criminal justice system are no longer honored, the citizens of a self-governed country will judge the pact of civilized behavior to be breached.  When they no longer believe that they'll be treated according to those principles, they'll decide that the pact no longer applies to them, either.
What comes next?  Will citizens embrace a system in which guilt or innocence is a function of their beliefs instead of their actions?  Or will Americans avoid the system entirely?  How much interaction will Americans seek with a system they no longer trust?  Will they report crimes to a justice system that could attack them at any time — regardless of whether they have broken any laws?  Will they voluntarily provide testimony or evidence?  Or will they avoid all contact with law enforcement officials? . . .
. . . I'm not advocating vigilante justice.  I'm predicting that it's a natural consequence of human nature if our current leadership destroys the last vestiges of the "equal justice under the law" that we were promised.  When the system no longer protects citizens, they will find ways to protect themselves.  Does the rapid increase in gun ownership indicate that citizens are preparing for this eventuality?  Americans bought 20 million firearms last year — the second highest year in history.  That can't be taken as an endorsement of our criminal justice system.
Leftists seem determined to corrupt our criminal justice system — changing it into their political enforcement service.  Once the system's credibility is shattered (and 53 precent think it already is), will the victim of a crime report it to the police — or take matters into his own hands?  If he chooses to exact vigilante justice, will his neighbors report him, or help him — recognizing that they may need similar "help" in the future?
As Merrick Garland–, Christopher Wray–, and George Soros–sponsored prosecutors continue to dismantle our criminal justice system, they should keep our past in mind.  When legal criminal justice fails, vigilante justice may replace it.

That waste of paper and pixels called Rolling Stone had this to say about something allegedly said by Donald Trump:

Specifically, Trump has talked about bringing back death by firing squad, by hanging, and, according to two of the sources, possibly even by guillotine. He has also, sources say, discussed group executions. Trump has floated these ideas while discussing planned campaign rhetoric and policy desires, as well as his disdain for [so-called quote-unquote "president"] Biden’s approach to crime.
In at least one instance late last year, according to the third source, who has direct knowledge of the matter, Trump privately mused about the possibility of creating a flashy, government-backed video-ad campaign that would accompany a federal revival of these execution methods. In Trump’s vision, these videos would include footage from these new executions, if not from the exact moments of death.

As an aside, pro tip to Matt Taibbi: get the hell away from that shit-house. Of course Trump denied it. But, all things considered, maybe he should've doubled down or at least did a George Patton; "No, I never said that. But I wish I had!"

38 Or will Americans avoid the system entirely? How much interaction will Americans seek with a system they no longer trust? Will they report crimes to a justice system that could attack them at any time — regardless of whether they have broken any laws?

There is no justice, no legal, no court system anymore. Law Enforcement is not about enforcing laws or keeping the peace.

Given those Truths, I was shot at while bicycling a few years ago, I managed to get a good description of the truck (including signage and license plate) whereas I was able to use certain tools to positively identify the people, their home address and employer.

Knowing that the perps were a protected class, I did not report the incident at all because I wanted the freedom to execute justice at my time and at the level of justice I felt necessary, and contacting government would have ended any possibility of justice.

That was years ago, I'm even less interested in government intervention even today.

52 The Department of Justice recently submitted the final rule to the Federal Register, requiring owners to register their firearms with the ATF to avoid NFA (National Firearms Act) tax. If owners do not register, they will need to replace their barrel with one 16 inches or longer or remove the brace so that it cannot be reattached. Other alternatives are to forfeit the firearm to the ATF or destroy it. Failure to do so by May 30th may lead to a felony charge, jail time, and a $250,000 fine.

And, don't think for a minute they won't prosecute this.

The feds deliberately created a chemical weapon (phosgene gas) by burning the chemicals. If you look at a map of the danger zone they created it's slightly southeast of the main areas of town. If the crash had happened on the other side of town, a large portion of that town might be dead by now. Now they just have to worry about phosgene collecting in the sewers and basements of their town, quietly causing long term cancers and other maladies for the next several decades.

As a hazmat specialist said, they nuked the town with chemicals. East Palestine is no longer on the map.

72 There's pictures of the train truck glowing red hot with a bad bearing as it went by the camera. The engineers had to know because there are sensors. That went on for maybe an hour.

When the brakes were finally applied they were designed in late 1800's and are air brakes. They tend to accordion the cars as they are applied front to back as the air leaks off to brake the car.

There's better train car brakes nowadays but some Republican Senator carried the water during the Trump administration to defeat a mandate to convert to them.These better brakes put the brakes on at the same time for all the cars so they are less likely to accordion. It would take many years to implement so wouldn't have prevented this catastrophe probably. And might not have anyway.

The proximate cause was derailment due to hot bearings that were ignored for too long. Sounds like good old human error.

But let's be clear: the acquittal was less about justice being served and more about averting further injustice. The sword of government appears to have turned away from protecting peaceful citizens to attacking them.

Make no mistake about it. If your religious beliefs run counter to the dictates of the ever-expanding and increasingly authoritarian Leftist state, you're going to be hunted down.

Denominations not willing to be the slavish subsidiaries of the government are going to be persecuted. And we saw what happened during the WuFlu. Every pastor and every bishop should have told the authorities to go piss up a rope, that the consolations of religion had been offered through war, fire, flood and plague and if anyone wanted to come they were free to. But no, they were gutless banana-spined bookkeepers saying, "Yes, boss. Yes, boss."

This is indicative of fairly serious underlying pathology that is incredibly common on the left and fairly common outside of it. It's this idea that with the right rules, the right enforcement, the right oversight, the right X, that nothing bad will happen.

Nonsense. Complex systems cannot be fully understood, let alone controlled. We've had nearly a couple centuries' worth of practice at railroading at this point and accidents still happen. They happen a lot, though they're usually minor. No regulatory framework and no amount of care by the operators will eliminate accidents. They can *reduce* accidents, but never to zero. And this disaster in Ohio appears to be an accident.

The measure of the system is in how it responds to accidents and disasters, because they're never going away.

97 review of the trio’s reporting shows that the Times is still engaging in the same journalistic behavior that has made the paper a reliable disseminator of discredited innuendo about a conspiracy between Donald Trump and Russia. By omitting countervailing information and distorting the available facts, the Times article does not set the record straight.

99 Nonsense. Complex systems cannot be fully understood, let alone controlled. We've had nearly a couple centuries' worth of practice at railroading at this point and accidents still happen. They happen a lot, though they're usually minor. No regulatory framework and no amount of care by the operators will eliminate accidents. They can *reduce* accidents, but never to zero. And this disaster in Ohio appears to be an accident.

My philosophy was primarily 'Management by the cost of Failure'. First, invest your effort in preventing things that kill people and bankrupt your company, and work your way down from there.

108 How much interaction will Americans seek with a system they no longer trust? Will they report crimes to a justice system that could attack them at any time — regardless of whether they have broken any laws? Will they voluntarily provide testimony or evidence? Or will they avoid all contact with law enforcement officials?
++++
None, and no. And the legal system depends on cooperation. So where this leads is the same place it leads in any other dictatorship: you "cooperate" because if you don't, the state will just kill you outright. You "interfered with the investigation" and they had to put you down. Pick a rationale, they're all the same.

The flip side of that is all the other excesses of dictatorships and police states. There are no rules. The organs of state security prey indiscriminately and at will. You "cooperate" under threat of death and the answer is always what those same organs assume the answer is. Who's going to tell them otherwise?

The only other potential outcome is the vigilantism the author talks about, but vigilantism depends on those organs of state security being ineffective as well as untrustworthy.

110 Scanning these headlines each and every day is so grueling. I'm aghast and frozen at just how utterly destructive Democrats are to this nation. Everything is falling apart. Every vestige of liberty and freedom, morality, decency and our very exceptionalism. Evaporating before our eyes. And all laid at the feet of that repulsive party, and by extension, worldwide leftism. They are piranhas ripping and tearing at the flesh of America and they've just about taken us down to the bone. I marvel at their evil. I see no signs of it abating. I'm tired of waiting for enough people (like that North Korean author) to wake the hell up.

189 They are gonna say January retail sales were a blockbuster.

What's really behind the red hot retail sales?
aggressive seasonal adjustments, same as payrolls: one-time

COLA adjustment (+8.7): one-time

post-holiday spending spree to take advantage of liquidation sales: one-time

Those are all one-time factors... so do not extrapolate

Finally, as a reminder, all of this retail sales data is nominal - i.e. not adjusted for inflation. While not comparing apples to apples, adjusting nominal retail sales for CPI shows that Americans' real spending has gone practically nowhere for 10 straight months...

||DISPATCHES FROM THE BLUE ZONES: Not a single student can do math at grade level in 53 Illinois schools. For reading, it’s 30 schools.

Spry Community Links High School, in the Heart of Little Village in Chicago, says its vision is to “provide a challenging and supportive environment…to enable our students to succeed in the 21st century.” Number one on the school’s focus list? “Increasing reading and math scores to or above grade level.”

But a look at state data that tracks reading and math scores for each Illinois school reveals two frightening facts about Spry. Not a single one of its 88 kids at the school can read at grade level. It’s the same for math. Zero kids are proficient.

Spry is one of 30 schools in Illinois where not a single student can read at grade level. Twenty-two of those schools are part of the Chicago Public Schools and the other eight are outside Chicago.||

More preventative maintenance? Maybe, though if there were no indications of failure before the accident, then what cause would they have had to perform more maintenance?

Out from The gloomy past, till now we stand at Last Where the white gleam of our star is Cast.

Thou who has brought us thus Far on the way;
Thou who has by thy Might, Led us into the light,
Keep us Forever in the path, we pray

Good. If you want cities to fail, it's not enough for the urban core to be miserable, while the suburbs are livable and travelers come and go as they please. The urban core has to be a hub of misery with spokes that permeate the rest.

268 236 It is truly the chance for a major crackdown on law abiding gun owners. Fed regulations involving firearms, created by bureaucrats, are totally scrambled. It's A-OK to own a c96 Mauser with a holster stock. Likewise Lugers and P35 High Powers. You can own Winchester trapper models ordered with short barrels. Regulation needs to be in the hands of elected officials, and only when needed. The whole NFA could be thrown out.

That's actually not what the study says. It says that people who self-report a feeling that they may have been discriminated against unfairly, tend to have higher levels of inflammatory markers in the bloodstream and a higher concentration of a particular bacteria in your stool, indicating that there might possibly be the potential that some of those factors might perhaps contribute in some small way to the presence of or development of arthritis.

I'm reminded of a Roger Corman story.

20th Century Fox had a shot in one of their movies where they'd had a stunt man lie on the tracks, then had a train back away from him. When sped up and played in reverse, it looked like the guy got hit by the train.

Fox went through corporate channels at the railroad, which charged them a $15,000 fee.

Corman wanted the same shot, so he schmoozed a train crew. Cost him two bottles of scotch.

I went to HS with the Height brothers - identical twins. One night coming back from a party at 2:00 in the morning I had to stop at a railroad crossing cuz a train was crossing. Then the train reversed and then moved forward. After awhile I and my buddy got out of the car to investigate. We discovered the Height brothers had convinced the engineer to roll over pennies for them.

At my 20th HS reunion I discovered that one of the Height brothers had been shot dead by the husband of the wife he was fucking. Both husband and wife were students at my HS. Good times.

There was a nurse who was on the RMS Olympic when the ship collided with the HMS Hawk. That nurse was later reassigned by the White Star Line to the RMS Titanic and she survived that sinking. She was then pressed into war service and assigned to the HMHS Britannic - the third and last of the Olympic-class liners, which had been refitted for naval hospital service - and was on board when it hit a mine and went down.

There would likely be "OSHA" required sampling data for & from employee exposure (again, not necessarily volunteer forces or state employees in the case of Ohio, and/or not the general public) to the vinyl chloride. That data would be derived from appropriate protocols/methods for sampling employed by an industrial hygienist (IH), preferrably a or under a Certified IH.
