The Morning Report — 2/17/23

newnewnewpence.jpg

Good morning kids. There are a lot of new, and mostly infuriating, developments in a number of top stories, yet one thing jumped out at me that just speaks volumes about the reality of who and what have run this country since at least the end of World War 2. And run it into the ground. And I couldn't think of a better phony stooge to spout it than Mike Pence:

“Now we literally have a paralysis in Washington, D.C., that says we’re never even going to talk about reforming 70% of the federal budget. That’s what entitlements, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid are all in that cash. And we simply are not going to restore the fiscal health of this nation by simply nibbling at the edges of the federal budget. I submit to you that we have to have a conversation about reforming entitlements in the days ahead. I think we can replace the New Deal programs with a better deal.. I think in Social Security, you can keep all the promises that you made to seniors. You can people that will retire within the next 20 years. No changes, but to give options to younger Americans to invest a portion of their Social Security in a private savings account and get a better deal, I think is an idea whose time will come.”

Ah yes. a NEW New Deal! The Better Deal! Even newer and deal-ier than before! Who the fuck is this asshole kidding? Meh, nobody. Leftists love them their phony government programs that help no one despite the illusion of free money, and sadly far too many who are supposed to be on our side of the divide regard the word "entitlements" as the Holy of Holies.

I'll cut Pence a little bit of slack, insofar as yes all these programs are going to crash and burn and they do need to be addressed. Of course, the Dems use that as the Tsar Bomba of all political weapons to twist that as "taking away your entitlements!" And so, the issue fades away until the next round of alarms from the actuaries sound, usually during or just before a campaign season.

Beyond language, the broader issue is the nature of government itself. And in that highlighted quote, Pence perhaps unintentionally revealed a number of things that I have been trying to hit on for a long time, primarily the illusion of a two-party system; of a true opposition party to those who have set us on a course for "fundamental transformation," i.e. disaster, since Woodrow Wilson.

Since the end of World War 2, the GOP has gradually become a party that shed its identity as that of champions of small government and the free market. If you go back to Ike in the 50s, he and the GOP did nothing to try and reverse the metastasis of the bureaucracy that started with the New Deal. Of course for, 40 years starting in the middle of his first term, the Democrats controlled the purse strings, the USA was a more or less united country (stay tuned for the civil rights era and Vietnam) and had an economy that made Detroit the third most prosperous city in the world. And then came the Great Society/War on Poverty, followed on by Nixon creating the EPA and a few other nightmarish commissariats and the rest is history.

No, Mike Pence. We do not need a party that only oppose Democrats because they think they're better managers of an ever-growing central government. We need a party whose main goal is the complete dismantling of the central government and the return of political power to the states and ideally back to the individual citizen. On top of that, we need people who can articulate that premise and why it is necessary!

And speaking of the EPA and why it is necessary to wrest control of power and hand it back to the people, look no further than East Palestine, Ohio.

Footage of Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) disturbing a creek bed in East Palestine, Ohio, and causing chemical bubbles to rise to the surface garnered millions of views as the nation becomes increasingly concerned about the fallout from the nearby Norfolk Southern train derailment.

In footage posted by Vance on Thursday afternoon, the newly elected lawmaker stood next to a small creek in East Palestine. Beyond the “dead worms and dead fish” he observed in the water, Vance used a stick to disturb the bottom of the creek; moments later, an oily sheen of chemicals emerged to the surface of the water.

“This is disgusting,” he commented. “The fact that these chemicals are still seeping in the ground is an insult to the people who live in East Palestine. Do not forget these people” . . .

. . . The footage comes after federal and state officials insisted that the water in East Palestine is currently potable. The EPA said that “test results from the village’s municipal well sampling showed no water quality concerns,” while Governor Mike DeWine (R-OH) announced that tests conducted by the Ohio EPA revealed “no detection of contaminants in raw water from the five wells that feed into East Palestine’s municipal water system.” He added that the agency is “confident that the municipal water is safe to drink". . .

. . . Vance also challenged EPA Administrator Michael Regan, who visited East Palestine on Thursday, to drink the tap water his agency claimed was safe. “If I was living here, I would drink the bottled water for now. Better safe than sorry, especially because it’s being provided for free,” he told reporters. “That’s the advice I would give, and again, the residents are going to make their own decisions on this.”

J.D. Vance sure did hit the ground running. He's looking like a champ in the very early going. Safe to drink? The bastard child of Predator and the Toxic Avenger wouldn't drink that with Gene Simmons' tongue and Kamala Harris swallowing. Mike DeWine. More like Mike "D" Whine.

So long as we're on the subject of "entitlements," if you look at the federal and state budgets for their respective EPAs, no doubt the money taken out in taxes adds up to a tidy sum. Are they not entitled to not be exposed to cancer and have potable water? I guess not.

And where is the federal government? As of this writing, no disaster declaration has been made by Joe Biden. And according to Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is refusing to offer any assistance.

“Ohio Governor Mike DeWine spoke with officials at the White House early this morning to address the need for federal help,” DeWine’s office said in a statement. “As a result of this conversation, the Governor has requested assistance from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health and Emergency Response Team, and the CDC to provide on-the-ground assistance in East Palestine.”

“The DeWine Administration has been in daily contact with FEMA to discuss the need for federal support, however FEMA continues to tell Governor DeWine that Ohio is not eligible for assistance at this time,” the statement continued. “Governor DeWine will continue working with FEMA to determine what assistance can be provided.”

Say, what?! One of the biggest environmental disasters in American history and the citizenry are not eligible for assistance? I guess eligible and entitlement are two different words. Meaning, they forfeited their eligibility by overwhelmingly voting for Donald Trump in 2020. In any case, East Palestine is not a "chocolate city" like New Orleans.

And Mike Pence talks about a Better Deal, as Mike DeWine assures us about the Ohio EPA's proclamation that the water is totally safe. There's your GOP, ladies and gents. You have nothing to fear from a big government because we'll run it better!

But rest assured, the EPA is concentrating on truly serious work, like abolishing ovens, gasoline powered automobiles, natural gas and fossil fuels, the cattle industry, plastics, paper and anything else Greta Thunberg gets offended by, and replacing them with windmills that kill whales and endangered birds and the view as well as batteries requiring strip mining of strategic materials by slave laborers in China and whatever third world shit holes along its global belt road it controls. If the Chinese agree to export the materials at all.

Of course, the EPA is loaded with top men!

A review of the list of impacted cars does not indicate that any of the cars containing vinyl chloride lost their loads due to a breach or leak. Each entry contains the note, “car did not leak/cars vent product through the PRD and ignited/vent and burn performed.” At some point, the railroad intentionally vented and ignited all of the train cars containing vinyl chloride. Why? Why burn 155,000 gallons of a toxic chemical if the train cars containing them were not breached?

As it burns, vinyl chloride transforms into phosgene and hydrogen chloride. A 15 minute exposure of air contaminated with more than .2 parts per million of phosgene is considered unsafe. Children are particularly vulnerable to phosgene gas. If all five railcars containing vinyl chloride are being burned, this amounts to approximately 155,000 gallons of precursor to phosgene. This explains the enormous plume of dark smoke that photographs and videos show billowing from the wrecked train cars and a nearby trench used as an improvised burn pit. . .

. . . Some have suggested that the accident stemmed from railroads cutting costs in safety-related measures. . .

. . . But others have questioned whether the bad bearing could have resulted from an act of sabotage. The “conspiracy theory” calls to mind recent arrests for sabotage of electrical facilities. 

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has drawn condemnation for waiting nearly 10 days before issuing a public comment on the disaster. Like many in the media, Buttigieg found himself fixated on the recent Chinese balloon incursion. Buttigieg did not mention the Ohio disaster during his appearances on Sunday talk shows on February 5, two days after the crash continued to burn. 

Although Buttigieg flew 18 times on taxpayer-funded private jets since taking office, he has not, as of the time of writing this, visited the site of the disaster.

Phosgene gas by the way was used during World War 1 as a chemical weapon and, IIRC, it gave a certain Austrian corporal his distinctive voice.

Meanwhile, yet another derailment of tank cars occurred in Michigan. And, lest we forget, we have a wide open southern border where more than just Latin American peasants are flooding in by the million to collect their "entitlements" from Tío Azucar while picking grapes. Meh, why blame the Islami-kazes when we have our own psycho homegrown environmental terrorists?

Take your "Better Deal" and shove it, Pence. And save some space for Nikki Haley.

Have a good weekend.

||The Chinese billionaire chairman of investment bank China Renaissance has gone missing, the firm said, as shares in the company plunged in Hong Kong on Friday.

Bao Fan, who is also executive director of the bank, is a major figure in the Chinese tech industry and has played a key role in the emergence of various domestic internet startups.

“The company has been unable to contact Mr Bao,” China Renaissance said in an announcement on Thursday to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, without offering further details.||

27 I seem to recall several of Trump's cabinet members were;
1) Subjected to grueling confirmation hearings, if confirmed
2) At the slightest hint of controversy, resigned/fired
3) Replaced due to incompetence or insubordination
4) Criticized by the media relentlessly regardless

Good to know there's not a double standard...

After the War, we ended up with an empire, a global trade system we instituted, and a global finance system we designed. You can't be a global empire *and* have a small government. The time of small government was over. Small government was dealt likely mortal blows by Roosevelt, but the postwar order we constructed precluded it entirely.

In 2019/20 it was revealed that a local company in Torrance (HiShear, inc) was seeping toxic chemicals into the ground water for DECADES. Everything we were told about the water quality was an over-the-top LIE.

79 There are a couple sets of train tracks around here. All go through incorporated areas, so, my assumption is the trains are speed limited to something around 15-25MPH since I never see any moving faster. It would be hard, not impossible, but harder to derail and have a major issue at that speed. I think.

So, it begs a question about East Palestine, OH; how fast was that train going and does the area have a speed limit?

The oddly shaped pool was built in the 1980s after Minardi wouldn’t let his kids swim in a nearby alligator- and snake-infested lake without wife Raye watching over them with a shotgun from the deck, according to the University of Florida’s student news service.

But the argument FEMA used is an insult.

There was a waste firm in King of Prussia, PA that took a couple hundred thousand gallons of pharmaceutical waste and dumped it down its well. The well at the business I worked at became contaminated. The owner of the waste firm, after suit was filed, claimed that we could not possibly have gotten any of the waste into our well because our business sat 50 feet higher then his.

Eventually we dropped suit, tied into public water, and the EPA cleaned it up about 10 years later. The owner of the polluting firm eventually died of brain cancer.

227 Let us not conflate railroad regulation with EPA ban-the-gas-stove-and-five-gallon-flush-toilet regulations. The RR has been a dangerous tool for generations. Most of the regulations have been written in blood.
Posted by: Reuben Hick at February 17, 2023 08:50 AM (l7lsb)

Most regulations are to reduce competition and increase profits for large firms (they also write them so it's no coincidence).

A small number of regulations exist for actual safety reasons, but that's what 1% or less? We don't have tens of thousands of new safety issues to be regulated each year.

Following the spill, the local governments of Silverton and San Juan County decided to accept Superfund money to fully remediate the mine. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) rejected a request by the Navajo Nation to appoint a disaster-recovery coordinator.

267 I have a solution. Phase out social security over a 20 year period. Those 50 and over get 100% benefits - 35 to 49 and 364 days got 50% benefits - those under 35 get zero -

However!! Those in the 35 - 49 age range also get a variety of tax breaks and 401k and IRA incentives/tax breaks (i.e. - they can put into a 401k or IRA - tax free and they can pull out the money anytime - not penalties and NO t=TAXES - those under 35 get a one time payout from the federal gubmint equal to what they have already put in to soc sec in which they can invest it all in a 401k or IRA that has the same benefits the 35-49 group get - the 50 and overs are stuck with soc sec "as-is".
Oh, and welfare is now a limited bucket of $50 billion a year from the fed - if there are a million people on it, each gets 50b divied by 1 million people. if there are 10 million people on it then 50b divided by 10 million.

306 Here to let you know that GA news has lifted the convo on Morning Joe to the walls are closing in again/still.

Joe brought forth one I hadn't heard. Referring to circling the wagons, he tells the tale of that circling becoming smaller and tighter (nearly noose-like) wink-wink.

The other big focus is on Rudy. His wheels have fallen completely off. He's running on spindles and the sparks are flying (like a certain train in OH) so not walls so much but wheels (fleeing the scene).

Reporting from MSNBC. Back to you in the studio.

308 Thanks, taxpayers!

Today the U.S. Department of Defense issued guidance to begin implementing Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s October 20, 2022 directive that the DoD pay the cost of travel for service members and their dependents to receive elective (“non-covered” abortions. The DoD has long been prohibited from funding elective abortions for service members.

By evening he had acquired 10 more acres.

312 I suppose if the tanker crash/burning had been near a Transsexual illegal immigrant holding facility and a Planned Parenthood clinic they would have been all over it with 24 hour news coverage and FEMA briefings every 10 mins. Typical Americans? GFYS!

313 Is there any government official in America that is competent?

Serious question.

Because it seems like government officials are all very good at DIE, but not so good at their actual jobs, like keeping Americans safe and informed.

Costa Rica is looking pretty good right now.

315 Good morning, all, and thank you, JJ.

Re: the train disaster in East Palestine, OH, things that appear to be missing from the scenario: What chemicals/haz materials WERE on that train? It was reported the US EPA sent a letter to Norfolk southern stating that ethylene glycol monobuty either, ethylhexyl acrylate & isobutylene were also in the rail cars that were derailed, breached and/or on fire. On live news, twitter, etc., residents have said they now have a list of 6 chemicals.

Where is the train's manifest? What are the synonyms/Trade names/PROPER SHIPPING NAMES for each & every hazardous material onboard it? The manufacturer of each has a material safety data sheet that has to be available to users, carriers, emergency responders, etc. & contain information regarding exposure limits (or if no exposure limits have been established), health, flammability & reactivity hazards; first aid,etc.

DOT has lists of hazardous materials including those with special provisions. Where's DOT's Federal RR administration? Does the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act apply to train transport?

Free continuing medical care & surveillence for all exposed.

316 Meet the New Boss, same as the Old Boss.

317 Here’s what bugs me about tone-deaf idiots like Mike Pence and Rick Scott: everyone knows there’s no way in hell entitlements can be reformed in the time and place where we live now. And they know full well that even breathing one word on the subject gives the Democrats a giant club with which to bash the Republicans and terrify the GOP’s natural constituency (the Olds).

So why bring it up at all? The only reason I can think of, hopeless cynic that I am, is that they deliberately want to tank the GOP’s chances in the next election. They are, after all, Never Trumpers. And we’’ve seen from Bitch McConnell in 2022, that they’d rather lose that let MAGA take power.

To those quixotic conservatives still banging on about shrinking government (which I totally agree with), I say, we also need to return to pre-60s sexual mores. And yet conservatives have long conceded (correctly) that that ship sailed long ago and making it a campaign issue is electoral suicide. The same with reforming entitlements, sad to say. We must tackle more achievable goals (like shrinking bureaucratic power) before we can turn to those other issues.

318 I think we could replace Mike Pence with a good open pit latrine and be ahead on the deal; but I'm a bit grumpy today.

319 Regarding the east Palestine disaster: there are "hot box" detectors along the tracks to prevent this from happening. Were they working? did the engineer get notified? Did he ignore the warning?

Posted by: bigG at February 17, 2023 12:13 PM (9tuKL)

320 Meh. Pence is a sniveling weak man. He is the type of leader we deserve tbh. People don’t want freedom. They want to be taken care of… coddled… able to pursue frivolous things, eat what they want and not be spoken to and made to feel bad. As a result, the people will get tyranny in direct proportion to their loss of virtue. In the end, the tyranny will be crushing. Then, after much blood and many years, freedom will become important again. Be clear, our path back to freedom goes through hell. Embrace the suck.

Happy Friday!

321 I urge everyone to refuse to cast a ballot above state level. The federal government is totally illegitimate. The Groomercrats have institutionalized cheating, and the vasty majority of Republicants are either part of it or they completely non-serious grifters.

Keep your home state as free as you can as we descend into Civil War. The worst thing that can happen is Grommercrats are emboldened to accelerate their agenda, which only pushes into war faster. So, in a lot of ways it's really the best thing that can happen.

322 FEMA is very bad at disaster relief. My daughter and her family experienced a flood last summer; their community, a former coal patch town, and other local communities were devastated. FEMA had nothing to offer. Even the state emergency people had nothing but low-interest loans to help. Who helped them, besides their extended family? The Red Cross, the Salvation Army, the local St. Vincent De Paul society, the local volunteer fire department, local churches, and (amazingly) one of the township officials, who came and served dinner one night to the residents who were trying to clean out their damaged homes. Not one agency or official, however, was the least bit interested in what caused the flood, and they offered no real help. Keep your local volunteer organizations going, because they are actually the first responders and the people who will help you the most in a crisis.

323 Trump announces a visit to East Palestine and suddenly FEMA is interested in helping. Fvuckers.
