The Morning Report — 3/9/23

Good morning, kids. I remember once seeing a goofy bumper sticker which read: "My Karma Ran Over Your Dogma."

With that in mind, I give you what is probably the feel good story of the day:

[Senate Minority Leader Mitch] McConnell spokesman Doug Andres gave a brief statement to the media, “This evening, Leader McConnell tripped at a local hotel during a private dinner. He has been admitted to the hospital where he is receiving treatment”

Punchbowl News reported the fall happened at the Waldorf Astoria, formerly the Trump Hotel in D.C.

It's too bad he doesn't have Obamacare, like us poor schlubs do, instead of the full carveout with all the trimmings as befitting his Incitatus-esque stature. I hope he's in such excruciating pain he has to bite down on his jowls. Cruel? I'll wait for the Victor Davis Hanson seal of approval on that remark. Interesting how not one day after this prick joined with the traitors on the other side of that mythical aisle to condemn Tucker Carlson for exposing the truth about January 6th, 2021 that he takes a tumble in a former Trump hotel.

May it be a harbinger, if not for Trump personally, then for all of us who have been feeling the hob-nailed Manolo Blahniks of our oppressors slowly crushing our collective windpipe, that we may send all of them tumbling through the parquet of a Trump hotel directly to the Infernal Reaches. Forever.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., took to the Senate floor to call for the censorship of Fox News, where this author is a contributor, and prevention of more footage being made available to Americans. He said Carlson exercising his freedom of the press was a threat to democracy.

As one former White House reporter put it, “It’s frightening to see Senate leaders demand a media company ‘stop’ reporting on the government, police, issues of law and justice.”

Surely this would be an opportunity for the otherwise weak and feckless Senate Republicans to show some backbone, right? Wrong.

Romney said that showing Americans footage from Jan. 6 meant Carlson had gone “off the rails,” and compared him to Alex Jones. He also went after McCarthy for being transparent with the American people. Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., took a break from working on an amnesty bill to tell [CNN/XiNN hack stenographer Manure] Raju that Carlson showing new footage of the protest that countered the left’s narrative was “bullsh-t.” South Dakota Sens. Mike Rounds and John Thune, South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, and North Dakota Sen. Kevin Cramer also fell for the media campaign against Carlson.

Leading the group was Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. Raju invited him to bash McCarthy. It’s not saying much, but McConnell was at least smart enough to decline that opportunity. But he did take the opportunity to attack a media outlet for daring to say something different than what a police leader said. Really. He said, “It was a mistake, in my view, for Fox News to depict this in a way that is completely at variance with what our chief law enforcement official here at the Capitol thinks.”

Let’s leave aside the abject offensiveness of the Republican leader saying journalists must simply repeat what governmental authorities say and not show video footage “at variance” with what the government says. What is McConnell doing? Seriously? The man only rarely speaks on camera to reporters, so his decision to do so is intentional. He brought a prop — the statement from the government official — to wave around for the camera.

Even if he didn’t agree with every journalistic decision Carlson made, he could have said any number of things to serve the American people — and Republican voters — instead of serving Chuck Schumer and CNN. . . McConnell copied the political framing and approach of Schumer, and ran off to Raju to supercharge the left’s latest bogus narrative.

Republicans, you have a serious problem. . .

. . . Elon Musk, of all people, said it best when he tweeted of McConnell, “I keep forgetting which party he belongs to.”

It is a cruel joke on the nation that this guy is still the titular leader of Senate Republicans in Washington. Are there not even a sufficient number of adults in the Republican conference who have the stones to say something — to do anything — on behalf of Republican voters?  Or are they just weak, mute cowards? At what point do they have the guts to say: “Mitch, enough is enough. Whatever limited good you may have done in the past, you cannot be a leader in the party when you defecate, day after day, year after year, on the voters you purport to represent.”

The estimable Mollie Hemingway lit into McChicom and the GOPe in what is really an indictment of their actions in the past few years. Worthy of a full read and bookmarking. The issue is no longer the fact that American government, politics and civil discourse are dead and gone. The issue is that this myth of a two-party system, of advice and consent, of respect and fealty for the Constitutional order and the will of the citizenry, and of ordered liberty under a just and stable law has been exposed. Worse, the searing, near genocidal hatred for all of that that much of the base of the Democrat Party feels is out in the open for all but the willfully blind and ignorant to see.

There is no going back. There can be no going back. Not unless and until we either have a national divorce (the physical and societal borders of which, and the process by which that occurs being unknown and potentially terrifying) or we utterly obliterate the Godless, totalitarian, evil rot that has brought us to the brink of disaster, and permanently neutralize by being ever vigilant to the best of our ability against even the remotest possibility that it can ever rise again.

The problem is, the enemy share the identical goal, as we have seen and felt in every aspect of our lives especially over the past few years, but in reality going back nearly 60 years and longer. And they are at our throat with a Khalid Sheikh Mohammed rusty hacksaw. With that, it's almost as if the events of 40 years ago never happened.

March 8 marks the 40th anniversary of President Ronald Reagan’s “Remarks at the Annual Convention of the National Association of Evangelicals in Orlando, Florida,” better known as the “Evil Empire” speech. This tour de force must be remembered and understood as a central message of Reagan’s grand strategy.

The line drawn from putting Marxism-Leninism on the “ash-heap of history” in the 1982 British Parliament address to recognizing the “aggressive impulses of an evil empire” in this 1983 speech to “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!” in the 1987 remarks at Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate marks Reagan’s rejection of and challenge to the Soviet regime. It ran ahead of and parallel with his two tracks of policy to build up American strength of all kinds and, only under favorable circumstances, conduct negotiations from that position of combined political, economic, military, and moral strength. As Reagan memorably expressed his ultimate goal several years before his presidency: “We win, they lose.”

Reagan’s rhetoric about communism and totalitarianism and about freedom and democracy highlight one of his timeless insights: the centrality of regime distinctions. Reagan started with the moral character of the regime, encompassing the form of government and the mores of that society’s culture. He knew he was at odds with the mainstream view of world politics coming out of the détente years, which portrayed moral equivalence between the two sides in the Cold War, accepted the conflict as a permanent reality, and upheld negotiated accommodations as the highest end. . .

. . . A second timeless insight pertains to Reagan’s understanding of freedom. For Reagan, freedom had moral content and inherent responsibilities. Though not perfect, constitutional government was built on real rights and permanent principles, democratically legitimate, and oriented toward a full understanding of individual liberty. In contrast, Reagan viewed the Soviet Union as an illegitimate government — indeed, as one of the worst regimes in human history. And he made this argument at a time when elite opinion sought accommodation within an amoral context of great-power rivalry that mistakenly expected moderated Soviet behavior in return. Reagan rejected that thinking and argued that the USSR was illegitimate and offensive by its totalitarian nature. . .

. . . It would be heavenly if the time of evil empires was over. But this is the real world. The “Evil Empire” speech remains applicable to a post–Cold War world in which communism and other systems of totalitarianism persist.

The author does a fine job in analyzing the speech in context to Reagan's worldview and beliefs, and it is a fine essay in that regard. My interest in excerpting it here is how frighteningly accurate some lines are when you apply them, not to Russia, China, North Korea or Iran but right here and right now to the Junta that installed a venal, corrupt, demented pervert as their figurehead to preside over the ruination and enslavement of the very same country Ronald Reagan led as the greatest nation on earth.

Look at the depths they have dragged us down to. Worst of all perhaps, is the setting us against one another along racial and ethnic lines purely for the purposes of divide and conquer.

Now here we are, 40 years later and as I have stated previously, for all intents and purposes the Iron Curtain fell on us, along with the curtain rods, plaster and most of the façade with it.

Ironic how a shibboleth of the Left has been moral equivalence between America and the world's bad actors. Well, it took them 100 or so years but they've succeeded in making that blood libel into a reality. In the cold light of day, it is those who perpetrated this crime of stealing our nation and our birthright that now lead an evil empire, made all the more evil by the nature of what America used to be. And I am enraged by it.

5 [Senate Minority Leader Mitch] McConnell spokesman Doug Andres gave a brief statement to the media, “This evening, Leader McConnell tripped at a local hotel during a private dinner. He has been admitted to the hospital where he is receiving treatment”

Does this change the count in the Senate enough that the Dems can get their more controversial nominees through?

232 Does it affect the Senate vote?
Posted by: davidt at March 09, 2023 07:41 AM (SYTee)

Yes, he can't vote...although since he votes Uniparty, that's probably not bad.

Senate down 3 Senators now - 2Ds, 1 R - it's now 49D, 48 R, so missing McConnell probably only helps us b/c now there are no ties, and Manchin or Sinema still is the swing...

11 Report: DHS Running a Secret Program Gathering Domestic Intelligence

"Secret"

More secret than all the others since 9/11.

"People are scared to say anything is one of the “key” themes in the internal documents."

That's probably a tell, but meh. Everything is fine. We'll be able to vote in 2024 and fix it.

12 An ode to the lying pricks in the DNC leadership and/or those GOPe flush with CCP money:
He had white horses, And ladies by the score, All dressed in satin,And waiting by the door
Ooh, what a lucky man, he was
Ooh, what a lucky man, he was
White lace and feathers, They made up his bed, A gold covered mattress,On which he was led
Ooh, what a lucky man, he was
Ooh, what a lucky man, he was
He went to fight wars, For his country and his king Of his honor and his glory, The people would sing
Ooh, what a lucky man, he was
Ooh, what a lucky man, he was
A bullet had found him, His blood ran as he cried, No money could save him, So he laid down and he died

27 I appreciate the work Tucker Carlson does and his release of some of the J6 video… and his clear naming of all the liars on that topic. But something’s been off on his broadcast the last 2 nights. Hardly any new video or information (nothing new on Ray Epps for instance), just a lot of self reference in light of Schumer’s censorship calls. But no real new content. I’ve been waiting for video evidence of feds stoking the crowd or explanations of who opened the doors… nothing. He even forgot to ask an obvious question of Buffalo guy’s lawyer: In light of new video will you appeal sentence? It just seems off and subdued

42 Here's an important one, too:

"(Lindsey) Graham calls for cartels to be designated as terrorist organizations "

https://tinyurl.com/2elfgh2d

-----------

It's not to fight the cartels, though. It's for the illegals.

You can't claim refugee status (and get $80K+ in immediate welfare and permanent representation) just because you're poor. You CAN get it if you're fleeing persecution by a terrorist organization.

So they're going to make the cartels terrorist organizations in order to make it easier for illegals to become permanent residents.

43 Radio propaganda had a piece this morning announcing that various govt agencies and experts now believe, in fact almost positve, that covid a was due to a lab leak and it appears the virus was man-made due to the way it spreads so rapidly.

58 Saint for the day:

St. Frances of Rome (1384-1440) was born to a noble family in Rome. St. Frances accepted an arranged marriage at 12 years old as God's will for her life. She was married for 40 years and had children, two of whom died from the plague. In her time Rome was at war and the city was in chaos from political disarray and widespread disease. St. Frances responded by converting her home into a hospital. She drove with a wagon into the streets and collected the sick and abandoned to care for them. She miraculously cured many people, and also began the city's first orphanage. She inspired many women to join her in this life of prayer and good works, and eventually founded a congregation of lay oblates known as the Oblates of St. Frances of Rome. After her husband's death she entered religious life as the group's superior. She was one of the great mystics of her time as she dictated 97 visions. St. Frances of Rome is the patron saint of many causes, including motorists, pilots, women, widows, and against plague and the death of children. On her feast day many priests bless cars due to her patronage of vehicles and drivers.

They feared an angry mob is the rumor I read - if they took the case. When Roe v Wade was overturned they got an angry mob anyway.

88 79 Kentucky has a legislative rule that the governor must appoint a replacement from the same party. Which might be worse, as the replacement will be a republican to the left of McConnell.
Posted by: Thomas Paine at March 09, 2023 08:11 AM (lTGtQ)

=========

It was a rule that McConnell himself helped shepherd through (allegedly) a couple of years ago. It incited some rumors that McConnell was near retirement or death at the time. He neither retired nor died, and people just forgot about the rumors that they grasped onto so fervently for a week.

Roe V Wade was the one thing SCOTUS could mess with that could potentially incite a violent reaction naturally from the left. And they blasted it with both barrels after Roberts had convinced some number of the conservative justices that taking up election cases would be an, on balance, good thing.

I think the mentality of the conservative justices (obviously not Roberts) really changed after the 2020 election results, Roberts' false promise, and the increased insanity of the left.

We'll see how far they can go in the time they have, but SCOTUS is my only hope for the fed government now. And that's honestly not much hope.

By targeting federal workers whose jobs involve government policies, the real-world implications of this order will be disastrous for public health, the environment, the defense of our nation, and virtually every facet of our lives," Everett Kelley, president of the American Federation of Government Employees, the largest federal employee union, said in a release.

While TC failed to ask what legal remedies would be available, I’m guessing a Writ of Habeus Corpus might be the only recourse. I’ll let the criminal attorneys here flesh that out.

There haven't been major changes in position since Russia retreated from Cherson (over the river) a few months back. Allegedly there's been fighting around Bakhmut for some time.

My view is that things are largely static with low intensity fighting. Ukraine doesn't have the means to push and Russia is largely content to continue the war in this fashion.

That is good news. We never had the opportunity to vote on it here in Pennsylvania. So we have 'medical marijuana' which anyone can make a claim of PTSD and secure. I mentioned before the local 'pot shop' never seems to have any customers, but a ton of employees.

Maybe Philadelphia - which allegedly votes 80% (D) - is a different story.

Attempted $32M Airport Heist Leaves 2 Dead, Holes In Delta Aircraft After Gunfight
breaking911.com

SANTIAGO, Chile – According to authorities, an attempted heist of more than $32 million in cash aboard a plane from Miami resulted in a wild airport shootout in Chile’s capital on Wednesday, killing a security officer and an alleged robber.

Ten heavily armed robbers were able to bypass security measures and reach the runway at Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport, where a Latam airlines aircraft was transferring $32.5 million in cash to an armored truck.

During the shootout between security officials and the robbers, one employee of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGAC) and one assailant were killed, while the other suspects fled.

I am too lazy to bother looking it up, but the story goes that Merle Haggard and his band were on a touring bus when they passed a sign pointing to Muskogee and one of his band quipped, "I bet they don't smoke weed in Muskogee," sparking the idea for the song.

Haggard once said he meant the song as a joke, but "people like Nixon took it for the truth."

Chris Rock's "Selective Outrage" comedy special on Netflix.

Now, it's not like CR pulled out a list and said, "Hey, here's a list of topics that the morons and ettes at AOSHQ will agree with exactly and will absolutely lo-o-ove the way I say it. Here we go!"

But, man, is this one whip smart comedy routine. Everybody's bubbles get popped. Some get popped with a delicate little pin-prick. Some get popped with a pickaxe. (F'rinstance Will Smith comes in for the pickaxe treatment at the end.) And in a funny manner. There are laughs and smiles throughout.

Rock is a master of taking an inflammatory topic like racism and bringing it right down to dinner table level, and then flipped around on the audience and their expectations/beliefs and have them laughing. It's like that throughout the whole show.

He's not conservative at all, but I think I'd describe him as an honest and common sense liberal. A very rare species these days.

I don't want to over sell but- Well worth your while to watch. Plenty of laughs and a bit of hope to brighten your times stuck in the Biden/Democrat Doldrums.

284 Contrary to what apologists have been saying since Carlson began airing the footage, all this material has not previously been made available to the J6 defendants, some of whom have been jailed without trial for two years, in violation of their constitutional right to a fair and speedy trial.

New York lawyer Joseph McBride, one of the few heroes of this ugly saga, represents six J6 defendants and says a significant proportion of the 41,000 hours of surveillance footage House Speaker Kevin McCarthy released to Carlson was kept from his clients and should give them "grounds for appeal."

Chansley lawyer Bill Shipley, also told Fox News legal analyst Jonathan Turley that his defense team "did not have this material."

Me too. But I'll take a step farther, why the hell do the three siblings of the Brzezinski family have such a firm hand in the US & NATO 'support' of Ukraine? With the passing of their father in May 2017, the political situation in Eastern Europe has badly deteriorated. Did they set a goal, like before Carter passes, to accomplish the greatest part of whatever they're up to in Eastern Europe?

Their father, Zbigniew Brzezinski, 9th US National Security Advisor, had his seemingly progressive views & policies (served Presidents Johnson & Carter) but even he was reported to have opined 'Ukraine should have a policy of 'non-involvement with NATO.' (Eurasiareview, Op-ed by Jonathan Power, 2/26/22)

I'm confused. What's the goal & what has been carved out in advance - like it was for Vietnam & other 'interests'? (All is mo.)

312 Serious question: Does KJP really believe the silliness she spouts is true? Can anyone really be so dumb?

The government, at least for the past few generations has absolutely nothing to do with being truthful or honest. Press releases have nothing to do about disseminating confirmable facts or truth - it has been, and will continue to be a vector for pushing politically expedient narratives that have no relation to truth for demonstrable fact.

It is raw political manipulation and exploitation of the stupidity and inexcusable gullibility of a population.

Russian Collusion had fizzled almost entirely so they were going to use this image of Trump's Thugs to control and derail his second term, as Collusion had done the first. Think of all the ready made excuses it would give a Congress not to conduct any business.
