The Morning Report — 4/19/23

Good morning, kids. So, Fox News settled with Dominion Voting Systems, a.k.a. "Dao-Min Yen" for about half of the $1.6 billion the one-armed bandit maker was hoping to shake them down for, and had to admit that they lied about them regarding the 2020 election. The fact that the trial took place in Delaware, the home state, or one of the home states, of Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants (the other one is Pennsylvania which figured prominently in this case), should cast absolutely no doubt that the network was going to get anything but a fair trial! Just like Donald Trump is absolutely going to get honest and fair trials in New York, Atlanta and D.C.!

Pfft. On the one hand, ironically enough, it was Fox News that put a huge torpedo into America on election night by calling Arizona with blatant prematurity that crossed the line into manifest irresponsibility. Tucker Carlson along with perhaps a handful of decent field reporters aside, the network as now run by the Murdoch spawn has degenerated to near CNN/MSLSD levels of leftism in their reportage, so to hell with them.

On the other hand, leftists have been shouting "Fox News! Fox News!" for nearly 30 years like an idiot savant parrot with Tourette's, and this settlement will not help that situation going forward, so we have that hockiner-tchainik over our heads even louder now with every real revelation of Democrat-Leftist crime, fraud, scandal and you-name-it that manages to get past their censors and propagandists going forward.

And despite Sydney Powell's unreleased Kraken, which I think was more of a function of DOJ/CIA intimidation than any shadiness on her part, a computer manufactured and requiring sophisticated programming from foreign soil does not fill one with strength and confidence that it is absolutely honest, infallible and incorruptible. In any case, why would a machine that should be doing nothing more than scanning marks made by that classic Eberhard Faber #2 pencil and clicking off Column A, Column B or blank need to be programmed with coding and software and algorithms to the level of Colossus and Guardian – which we saw in real time on election night as it happened?

Sound of Tourette's parrot screeching "FOX NEWS! FOX NEWS!" Q.E.D. on so many levels.

In any case the free fall into the abyss continues, with the intentional surrender of our cities to the rule of the jungle at the top of the hit parade. Keen-eyed readers will note that, despite my embargoing of the NY Post a couple of months ago for allowing blatant bias to creep into a news story that sent me over the edge, there are many outstanding columnists as well as stories generally ignored by other outlets, that are just too good to overlook. Michael Goodwin, despite his still cockeyed view of the current situation is usually quite good and generally worthy of one's time. Even when he's wrong or otherwise misses the bigger picture. Here for example, he's tantalizingly close to seeing it.

A confession: When House Republicans announced plans for a New York hearing to showcase rampant crime, I didn’t need to curb my enthusiasm.
I assumed the worst, that the hearing would bring New Yorkers bad news they already know and that Democrats and their media shills would dismiss the event as theater designed to embarrass Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
I was right.
The hearing, partly because of its timing, smelled like payback for Bragg’s flimsy indictment of Donald Trump, giving Dems and the media the ammunition to repeatedly ridicule it as a partisan dog-and-pony show.
But I was also wrong in a major way: I underestimated how clueless and heartless Democrats could be about the sufferings of actual crime victims.
My big takeaway was that they really don’t give a damn.

Emphasis mine. Whatever the GOP's motivations were in these hearings, and I think that payback at Bragg for going after Trump is a secondary consideration, Michael Goodwin surely is old enough to realize that crime, violence and inner city dissolution have plagued New York and every other major American urban area or district since the 1960s – areas that have been under the "compassionate" jackboot of Democrats for decades. Especially and as a result of The Great Society and the War on Poverty that have succeeded in doing nothing but drain the taxpayer and destroy millions of lives that they supposedly were going to elevate and save.

Cluelessness and heartlessness of Democrats aren't bugs. They're features. Continuing . . .

Manhattan Rep. Jerry Nadler, for example, made the brain-dead mistake of citing declining homicide rates and decreased shootings in New York as proof that Judiciary Committee Republicans were using crime as a “pretext” to “bully the district attorney.”
Telling grieving families that statistics say crime really isn’t so bad in New York and it’s worse elsewhere is tone-deaf.
That’s what 30 years in Washington will do to you.
The indifference of Nadler and his fellow travelers to the witnesses’ pain and demands for justice made the hearing instructive. As a result, the Dems snatched defeat from the jaws of victory and the hearing was more than worthwhile. The deniers were ice cold when warmth and compassion were called for, with Rep. Daniel Goldman offering another example of callousness.
His attempt to label the day a waste of time earned him a much-deserved scolding from the angry mother of a murder victim. “Don’t insult my intelligence,” Madeline Brame snapped at Goldman, an heir to the Levi Strauss fortune and a prolific stock trader whose district includes lower Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn. “You’re trying to insult me like I’m not aware of what’s going on here,” Brame said. . .
. . . Nadler got a deserved tongue-lashing from Barry Borgen, whose son was the victim of a brutal anti-Semitic attack.
Joseph Borgen, 30, was beaten by a pack of men as he walked near a pro-Israel rally in Times Square in May 2021. Bragg offered one of the attackers a plea deal that let him serve just six months in prison. The other three face felony charges, but remain free on either bond or bail.
Borgen blasted the “sweetheart slap-on-the-wrist deal” for the one attacker, calling it an example of Bragg’s “incompetence.” Speaking to Nadler, the father said, “You have Jewish roots here and behavior like this enables DA Bragg to do whatever he wants to do.”
After saying he would never again vote for Sen. Chuck Schumer because Schumer’s office didn’t return his phone calls, Borgen added to Nadler, “If I lived in Manhattan, I wouldn’t vote for you, either.” Only an extreme optimist would believe the witnesses’ testimony will have a political impact.
Nationally and locally, most elected Dems have developed a tin ear and a cold heart about crime. Their compassion, if they have any, is usually reserved for the criminal class, as if the thugs and thieves are the victims. In their warped view, the culprits are police, judges and a nation that is racist because it believes crime deserves punishment.

Goodwin is correct here but he misses a bigger picture. It's not just that the nation is racist; it's that the nation is illegitimate and must be overthrown, naturally with them in power, forever. Crime running wild as never before is both a means to feed the myth of "oppressed" people being targeted for genocide as a justified legitimate expression of political grievance AND, unbeknownst to the mind-numbed masses of bastards, imbeciles and lost souls a tool of ultimate political repression.

One day soon, the junta in DC will suddenly declare a "crisis." Sound familiar? And of course that crisis will demand a response. The thing I don't think they thought through is, the mass of demonized racist Americans who the Junta hopes will cry out for the government to step in and take control are the very group they have been demonizing as extremist MAGA Republican white supremacists and an "existential threat to our precious democracy" (*vomits)." To do something to restore order would mean locking up and punishing the criminals who they now coddle and incite as the victims.

I think it's a case where the Left hand doesn't really know what the Far Left hand is up to.

With that, I sense a real opportunity for Republicans to finally make significant inroads into black, Latino and other groups marginalized and abused by Democrats. The invective hurled at them in this hearing is palpable.

Does anyone on our side have the courage as well as the ability to articulate what is being done to them and what has been done to them since time immemorial? The world wonders. . .

16 Connecticut divers discover wreckage of experimental submarine built in 1907 and later scuttled in Long Island Sound.

||The Defender, a 92-foot-long boat, was found Sunday by a team led by Richard Simon, a commercial diver from Coventry, Connecticut.

Simon said he had been interested in the story of the Defender for years. He spent months going over known sonar and underwater mapping surveys of the bottom of the sound, as well as government documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, to identify any anomaly that fit the size of the sub. [...]

The submarine, originally named the Lake, was built by millionaire Simon Lake and his Bridgeport-based Lake Torpedo Boat Company in hopes of winning a competition for a U.S. Navy contract, according to NavSource Online, a website dedicated to preserving naval history.||

++++
Database integrity is a fairly big reason for real, possibly complicated code needing to be written. There's also little evidence that Dominion cares about that.

The difference between this and the last time there was voting machine kerfuffle is stark. Back in 2000, Diebold was called out by the Left for cheating and stealing the election for Bush 43. In response, Diebold was very open. They invited critics to examine the code. They found some bugs (though they all said those bugs didn't change any outcomes), and fixed them. They were about as transparent as they could be with closed source code.

Dominion quit taking anyone's calls and moved their headquarters.

Eventually. Hitler eventually had to purge the SA, but only after it had achieved the wider goal. Hua Guofeng eventually had to purge the Red Guards, but only after Mao died and he declared the Cultural Revolution as over, immediately.

Those brutal suppressions happened only *after* the groups involved had either achieved their goals or were deemed politically undesirable due to a change in Party ambitions. Antifa, BLM, wilding youths, etc. are all still very useful and aligned with Party interests. They will not be suppressed unless that changes, and that won't change until either:

96 Silicon Valley Bank grew deposits by $100 billion in a year and a half. That was the first wave in a perfect storm. The problem/opportunity originated from the easy money that the Federal Reserve flooded into the economy (printing $9 trillion via quantitative easing). SVB depositors were high-tech recipients of government spending on ESG and DEI projects. Those deposits are considered hot, subject to withdrawal at a moment’s notice.

SVB’s mistake was to mismatch volatile deposits by investing in long-term bonds. It invested those deposits in 10-year Treasuries that yielded 1.6 percent.

They were going to make it up on volume.

What a giant flashback.

A bunch of crazy musicians and "friends" I used to hang with back in the late 70's did a weekend live party/jamb/poetry session that had "Whitey's on the Moon" as a theme. Kind of a fusion of beat poetry, Funkadelics and Sun Ra with a bit of Rassan Roland Kirk and Zappa thrown in. There's a recording of it somewhere out there.

It was spectacular! My friends (that are still alive, hah!) still talk about it. Too bad personal video wasn't around then.

112 Housing Reforms Will Form Texas' Future

From the article: "Restrictive land-use laws are not only hurtful to the middle class; they’re a threat to Texas’s rising economic power."

The article makes a dishonest comparison between the cost of homes in a particularly wealthy area to the whole State average household income. I'm not sure what point the author is trying to make.

Then whines about Austin's permitting process. Guess what? Austin city holds the State government in perpetual contempt and fights any attempt to reduce the criminality and corruption in the city. So edicts to speed up permitting is a No Go.

The stupid idea of mixing residential and commercial fails to understand that neighborhood businesses around homes are very different than in the warehouse district.

Texas has grown in population faster than homes can be built. Want to slow that down? One vector is to close the damned border and eliminate sanctuary cities. But then you have Austin, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio and El Paso as law violating sanctuary cities.

216 >> Sarah Jones, a writer for New York Magazine’s Intelligencer outlet, equated the parental rights movement to authoritarianism. A former evangelical Christian-turned-“atheist and socialist,” she likened parents’ efforts to reform government-funded education to training a dog or a horse, claiming, “To certain right-wing Christians, the concept is simple: A child can be broken, or stamped into shape, much like any domesticated animal.”

WTF is she even talking about -- 'a child can be broken'?!?
I have never heard that, and parents gave up the Dr. Spock method of child-rearing a few generations ago.
They just make up this stuff as they go along, as if it's always been an issue with Christian parenting.

Not enough room to describe it here, but my niece's "continuation ceremony"(8th grade graduation) at her public school was the creepiest, scary demonstration of the state/teachers assuming the parental role I've seen. It's already happening - the ceremony was there to rub parents' noses in it.

217 Here's a wild story, from Boston: A police officer died at a cop party, and his girlfriend (not at the party) is being prosecuted. Apparantly she dropped him off there and went home, after they spent two hours drinking in a local bar.

Prosecutors allege she was drunk and accidently ran him down when she dropped him off. Her lawyers have evidence the other people (police and their wives) at the party killed him, with the implication being he discovered some misdeeds on the part of the other coppers and he was killed to cover it up.

This is going straight to the big screen, once someone can figure out what the hell happened.

It's simply that FOX was in a no-win situation and settled so they could move on.

They make roughly 16B in revenue per year, so this loss will be written down over the course of a couple of years and that will be that.

Speaking of one of the home states polluted to the max by FJB, Fox News this AM, (In part): "Protests broke out at the University of Pittsburgh after Daily Wire host Michael Knowles & journalist Brad Polumbo visited the school to debate transgender ideology, a hot topic on college campuses across the country."

Heh. In March, PA Dem Rep Mayes had called upon the university to ‘cancel’ three speakers who question transgender ideology. (Previously, Pitt's been in the news over its fetal tissue research. Also, that it moved from 11th to 3rd in just NIH funding in 2022 according to its University Times, issue 12, Feb 3, 2023.)

VCU announced in March it had won its largest grant ever from the NIH, a seven-year, $27.5 million grant to renew funding to take new treatments from basic research to community. Yesterday, it invited a pro-life speaker who had been shouted down at a March campus event to return to speak. We shall see.

Conservatives, as tax-payers too, need to make in-roads into schools - pre-K through 12, and through colleges and universities, too. The long game is the only game.

If the inflow is on net a flow of colonists, those red counties are doomed.

But this analysis is, I suspect, flawed. The migration started before Biden took over. It started during COVID. I was planning mine throughout 2020, and bought my house after the election but before the inauguration. Am I counted as a "post-Biden" migrant? My move wasn't because of Biden, it was because of the destruction of Colorado. The root cause is the same, but the proximal cause is not.

A lot of the migration is not primarily political, it's a response to long-term work-from-home. That enabled a lot of people who wanted to move but couldn't because of work to finally take the plunge.

>>I don't know what happened with Dominion. I am confident that emergency ballot stuffing went on in several key cities that swung the states that Our Betters needed to install Biden.

Dominion and their bullsh*t election systems are just a small part of the totality of the steal.

The main player is massive unvetted voter rolls, mass mail in balloting, mailing out millions of unsolicited ballots, voting that takes place over the course of months, ballot harvesting, lack of chain of custody, dirth of election poll and tabulation watching, etc.

The way we vote has been completely changed, perhaps irrevocably

We're in a tough spot, and it's going to be hard to extricate ourselves from our predicament.

Reports from Friday until Monday used the phrase "entered the house" but that was scrubbed in the Monday reports in favour of "rang the doorbell".

The excuse is that the shooter said that's what happened and after the cops investigated it for the weekend, they decided he was lying and charged him.

Dominion's intentionally insecure systems basically provided live information for the Dems to operate with, which is why you get abnormal consistency in the numbers when they started making up the difference. The Dems weren't eyeballing off of the lagged public numbers but working with real-time counts in some areas.

293 With that, I sense a real opportunity for Republicans to finally make significant inroads into black, Latino and other groups marginalized and abused by Democrats.

Which is exactly what President Trump did from 2017 to 2020. He increased the black vote for the GOP from 8% to 12%. Which is a massive increase. Overall black vote total for GOP increased almost 100% from 1.236 million to 2.425 million.

And that is with the data from the rigged/stolen election and tens of millions of fraudulent ballots for Joe Biden. That 12% could actually have been closer to 15-20% black vote for the GOP/Trump without the fraudulent ballots.

Conservative Speaker Loses Venue At SFSU Days After Swim Champ Riley Gaines Attacked on Campus

In the age of YouTube and Twitter and Rumble, etc., what is the point of scheduling lectures at places which will cancel the lectures? Just schedule the lectures at places which will not cancel them, video them and then share them all over social media.

Or is the goal here to actually provide a good lecture, or just to cry victimhood about getting cancelled? If it is the latter, that seems really stupid. Instead of numerous publications reporting on a good lecture and numerous social media sites sharing the video of the lecture given at a friendly venue, there is nothing but an article about a cancellation of a lecture that never happened. Idiotic.
