The Morning Report — 5/12/23

Good morning, kids. Before getting into the meat of my discourse, there are number of things that in and of themselves would get lost in the sauce, especially this morning. But when you take them in aggregate paint a picture that makes you want to scream. They're in the links but I'll put them here for the sake of convenience and to more effectively drive my point home.

House Homeland Security Committee Chair Reveals He Has Evidence of Mayorkas’ "Potential Fraud"

Republicans Signal Charging Blinken With Contempt Of Congress Over Key Afghanistan Withdrawal Memo

"Chachi" Joni Ernst: Wuhan-Affiliated Group Broke Federal Law Moments After Biden Admin Resumed Federal Funding

And then we have an entire section devoted to the Biden Crime Family and how James Comer and Chuck Grassley are making the walls finally close in on them. But wait! There's one more! And it really makes what's left of my hair hurt:

Anti-China Bill Stalls Out as Committee Chairman’s Alma Mater is Put at Risk

Beyond the fact that whatever the Republicans claim they're going to do, no matter how outraged they declare themselves to be, nothing – not one friggin' blessed thing – of any real significance in punishing these criminal fiends who hijacked the country and sending it off a cliff for fun and profit will happen. Just shut your pie-holes already. That last one, though is the killer diller. Regardless of the fact that nothing these people will do will have any real effect, venal douchebags like Frank Clark who'd rather be the Congressman from Oklahoma State U than the State of Oklahoma make you just throw up your hands.

Even if every Republican who holds office, from the local dog-catcher to Senator was the moral equivalent of George Patton, Milton Friedman and Judge Roy Bean in terms of smarts, guts and bloodthirstiness, the State holds all the cards. As Joe Stalin once quipped in response to someone saying what he's doing would anger the Pope, "How many divisions does the Pope have?"

And now that Joe STOLEN has officially let the clock run out, although for the past two years the border had already been all but erased, millions of third world peasants will flood in unchecked and unvetted with a hand out. Even if it's only a small percentage of this invading army who are actual criminals – and given what the result of having them here will do to our society and culture (what's left of it anyway) it is an invasion in every sense of the word – it's still a five-digit figure of thieves, rapists, murderers, drug- and human traffickers, to name but a few. Plus terrorists of the Religion of Peace variety.

I'm no Bowmar Brain, but let's just say it's 1%, so for every million dreamy, new natural-born conservatives crossing over the Rio Grande that would be 10,000. 10,000 not-so-dreamy hardened criminals. Even if I'm way off and it's a fraction of a percent, does that really make you feel any better? Before a Kurt or Karen can cry racism, let me throw their own words back at them regarding sealing our border and deporting at the very least the known criminals by dropping the mic with "If it saves just one life, h8tr!"

And lest we forget, this premeditated invasion has been arriving here and allowed to stay in our country, now no longer a nation but merely a land mass, for years and decades. Before Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants, that number was at a minimum 30-35 million. Now do the math. I do not have the statistics in front of me but it is a fact that an alarmingly high percentage, if not the majority, of serious crimes committed in this country are committed by illegal aliens and/or foreigners who are here on visas who either overstay or were unvetted in the first place.

More math (I know you hate it). Consider the money spent not only on incarceration of these thugs but on social services, welfare, housing, education, healthcare and all the rest of it on the millions more non-criminals and this whole discussion of debts, deficits and government comes into much sharper focus. By the way, if you jump our border illegally, by definition you have already (at least in theory if not practice) broken our laws, the instant the back foot landed on our side. But "No One Is Illegal!" esse so shut your racist cakeholes.

Societal dissolution, chaos, anarchy and then a call for law and order. That's what the Cloward-Piven-driven Junta is counting on. Oh, we'll get "order" alright. Of the "New" variety, IYKKWIMAITYD.

Meanwhile, up in Nuevo York, exactly that is happening right now. I was praying for a miracle but it's pissing into a hurricane. Alvin Bragg, this Nazi collaborator Soros stooge has now charged hero citizen Daniel Penny with the crime of interfering with a derelict criminal psychopath's right to terrorize subway riders.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg will charge Daniel Penny, the former marine who neutralized Jordan Neely amid an erratic outburst, with second-degree manslaughter after protests erupted in New York City over law enforcement initially declining to charge Penny, according to reports.
As Breitbart News detailed:
Last week, a medical examiner in New York deemed the death of Jordan Neely a homicide. The incident occurred on Monday this week on the F train at the east Houston and Lafayette Street station after Neely had been allegedly throwing trash and yelling at passengers about his economic misfortunes. Neely had a history of mental issues and often frequented the station as a Michael Jackson impersonator. He also had an active warrant for his arrest for a felony assault.
Officers took Penny into custody for questioning after Neely’s death but declined to charge him with any crimes and let him walk free afterward.
However, protests erupted in New York City the day after Penny’s release from law enforcement, with many calling for him to be arrested.
“This man needs to be prosecuted cause what you will do if you do not prosecute him, in my judgment, is you will set a standard of vigilantism that we cannot tolerate,” Rev. Al Sharpton said. “The precedent alone is a threat to all of us.”
Law enforcement’s initial reluctance to charge Penny, coupled with a video of the incident surfacing on social media, led to protests at the subway station where Neely died. Some protesters reportedly climbed onto the subway tracks and chanted, “No justice, no peace,” and, “Abolish the police.”
Other protesters likened Neely’s death to George Floyd’s death, which sparked nationwide protests in 2020.
“The days of murdering us and getting away with it are fucking over. If we have to strap up and come out here and just start popping, it’s gonna happen. We’re tired of it,” one protester claimed on Friday.
“They didn’t learn after George Floyd. They didn’t fucking learn,” another protester shouted.

Bingo! What sickens me most is how these evil bastards slaughter the innocent and wear their carcasses while goose-stepping and demanding respect. The bitter irony on the highlighted raving of the rent-a-thug goon from Central Committee Casting is that everything he believes about racism in this country and all the incidents is a lie. But, useful idiot's gonna useful – as in one day whip out the jammie and flat blast the first cracka' he sees. And THAT Alving Bragg will not prosecute and call it "justifiable homicide" and "self-defense."

Al Sharpton. Please. He should've been tossed into the East River and dragged down by that sewer lid medallion ages ago, but the dioxins at the bottom protested too loudly. And the toxic waste of New York leftists, Marxists and racialists elevated him to become some sort of national leader: Duh Furor. That spelling and pronunciation.

This gem from the comments yesterday:

The essence of social justice is revenge and envy not individual justice.
Posted by: whig at May 11, 2023 08:52 PM

Truth matters not one whit. Nor reality, as this eyewitness account of what happened on the subway car indicates.

The only thing that matters is political expediency and a will to power. And that sorry asshole whose bravery, like all the other thugs and government-approved BLM and Antifa black-clad Brownshirts, is only limited by the political and legal cover afforded him by the junta better be careful what he wishes for.

If they are projecting vigilantism, then that's what they're going to get. In the middle of the night with no witnesses. I better stop before I drown myself from my mouth watering at the mere thought of it.

Shabbat shalom.

Migrants are rushing across the Mexico border in hopes of entering the U.S. in the final hours before pandemic-related asylum restrictions are lifted.

All but one: money.

If the Republicans had any honor and any balls (they have neither), they would - as TJM put it - pass the budget they want in the House, then knock off and go fishing. Let the Senate and the president pass it or not, but there will be no negotiation.

That would force matters. They continue on in contravention of the law - and pay dearly for it in the market, as US psuedo-bonds see a very real interest rate in excess of 20% - or they capitulate. Chaos or order, and known quantities across the board.

42 “This man needs to be prosecuted cause what you will do if you do not prosecute him, in my judgment, is you will set a standard of vigilantism that we cannot tolerate,” Rev. Al Sharpton said. “The precedent alone is a threat to all of us.”

Sharpton doesn't know the meaning of words. There is a difference between "vigilante" and "gang banger" and "murderer". None of this applies to Daniel Penny because he wasn't out hunting down criminals, he was stopping a violent crime by applying proportionate violence.

Even if one wanted to abuse the term "vigilante", there is a difference in that the actor is targeting known criminal menaces rather than just shooting up a birthday party or settling scores.

The closing statement: "the precedent alone is a threat to all of us." is a confession that Sharpton and his confederates know that they are criminals in need of justice and will be checking their six if caricatures of Penny are allowed to persist. Criminals seek a "safe work space" and thus eliminating police also requires eliminating citizens filling the justice vacuum.

63 The team found that Democratic candidates used fewer competence-related words in speeches delivered to mostly minority audiences than they did in speeches delivered to mostly white audiences. The difference wasn’t statistically significant in speeches by Republican candidates, though “it was harder to find speeches from Republicans delivered to minority audiences,” Dupree notes. There was no difference in Democrats’ or Republicans’ usage of words related to warmth. “It was really surprising to see that for nearly three decades, Democratic presidential candidates have been engaging in this predicted behavior.”

In other words, Democrats talk down to Black and Hispanic people, while Republicans do not.

Republicans treat their audiences of whatever race the same, and with the same basic respect for their intelligence and ability to reason.

I don't care about the money. There are more important things than money - things like our culture and national character, the values that built our nation. In fact, I advocate for spending a *lot* more money on illegal aliens. I want internment/refugee camps built near the border. *Any* illegal alien - I don't care where he is or when he jumped the border - is arrested when found and sent to one. There, he is held until processed by the special asylum courts set up there - courts with very tight and hard-to-achieve standards. His asylum claim is legitimate or it isn't. When that's adjudicated, he is either given his shiny new papers and sent back into the country or he is put on a plane and dumped somewhere deep in South America to find his way home.

That'll cost billions. So be it.

Of course, that is also a Lose/Lose as human life is snuffed out and the Left doesn't get their replacement population.

92 If they are projecting vigilantism, then that's what they're going to get. In the middle of the night with no witnesses. I better stop before I drown myself from my mouth watering at the mere thought of it.

Slowly at first, then suddenly. Right now, vigilantism is tough because the entire weight of the system comes down on the vigilante. Just ask Kyle Rittenhouse or Daniel Penny. Vigilantism is what you get at large scale only when the state starts failing. We have a defective, evil state but not by any means a failed state. The state is still in possession of full power and capability.

Until the state starts failing, vigilantism will remain in the shadows. "Shoot, shovel, shut up" will rule the day.

Complete main level remodel. Kitchen, Flooring, living room, dining room, bathroom. I am doing much of it myself. So I am saving a ton of money but doing a lot of work plus my job. (less time here) We are having a freind build the cabinets. I did pay a guy to scrape all the popcorn off and do a knockdown ceiling. Other than that I am doing painting, electrical like moving light fixtures, the flooring and the painting and redoing the toilet and hooking everything up. It was either that or move, but we love our old house. And I didn't want to start all over again on a mortgage. Being handy comes in handy. I did some guesstimating and am saving about 10K or more by doing most of it myself. It will be worth it when it's over. Just keep reminding yourself of that.

104 I have a theory about the elected officials of today. I think the represent the people of a given district or state in the manner of an advertising spokesman.

Imagine if a large corporation allowed any person to "run" for and be elected to the position of company spokesman, or in today's vernacular "spokesthing". Think of someone like Matthew McConahey in the Lincoln car commercials.

The spokesthing doesn't make company policy, they don't decide anything, but the tell the public what the company wants the public to hear.

Just so, with elected officials. The party sets the agenda, the policy, the activities. The party actually runs things, and the party wants power, or if they can't get power (like Republicans) the party wants to at least be at the table for some scraps.

So who runs the party if not elected officials? All those people who move between NGOs and government appointments such as those who moved from the Obama admin into the Clinton Foundation or left-wing think tanks and back now in the Biden admin. Somewhere in that set of people are those in charge who really set the agenda and policy, and also tell the elected spokesthings what to say.

115 There are closer to 20 million illegal immigrants sucking off the taxpayers hard work, and stealing services from Americans. They've invaded not only the country but our welfare system, healthcare system, school system and citizens auspices such as Social Security. Our local community has trouble feeding the growing senior population of citizens and others who are food insecure due to Democrats wrecking of the economy. I'm a time when we have some of the largest retirement of seniors, the healthcare system is being overwhelmed by people who have never paid in, don't belong here and are largely unhealthy. That's not just theft. It's insidious.

Our country spends too much already on superfluous and unnecessary things. It's demonstrably destroying our country and everything good. There isn't a single person with courage willing to focus on our priorities for the citizens of our country. This invasion is the last straw for a lot of voters.

No, I don't. The 11 million figure is oddly static. It's probably at minimum double that, probably three times.

But who cares. This is a shitty argument. Cheap lettuce and cheap labor to slap up tract housing and thin smears of asphalt are not worth it. There is more than life to money. There's culture. There's peaceable life. There's civic cohesion. There's the unity of our common language and national experience.

Even if the argument is true that we need illegal alien slaves to keep cost of living down, think about the implications of that argument. You'd rather allow slavery (or illegal indentures, which are close enough) to save a buck. You'd rather let the scourge of slavery resurge and destroy the culture in the process, all in the name of easing your pocketbook.

And people like you have the temerity to assert that *I* am the monster.

He pleaded guilty to Disorderly Conduct and Attempted Assault in the Second Degree in those cases, respectively.

Oddly, the Penny arrest reminded me of this - we have come to a time where there is another demographic (or two) who is so protected that we need a way to protect those who offend them, intentionally (exercising free speech) or unintentionally as was the case with the quick-acting Penny protecting fellow NYers.

218 Nevertheless, the Biden administration has gone all-in on the specter of default as a scare tactic to bully conservatives into caving on the issue. And while Yellen is right that the "X date" (the day the Treasury’s cash account falls to zero) will arrive in the coming weeks, that would not be catastrophic.

In fact, it’s happened plenty of times before. When the Treasury runs out of cash and isn’t allowed to borrow more, the government has typically just had a partial shutdown. That is a world different from defaulting on the debt.

Better argument for Rittenhouse than for Penny if we're talking vigilantism but in both cases, they were acting in self-defense. Yeah, Rittenhouse inserted himself into a dangerous situation (a riot), but he didn't attack until he was attacked. It was a counter-attack - a defensive move. Penny was just commuting and intervened against a threat. Neither were hunting down bad actors.

237 Youngstown was a magnificent town for small family restaurants. Sure they were "mobbed up"; the mob lived there. Provided you liked several more or less Italian styles of cooking, I'd rate it in the top ten cities in the country for dining, before the bottom fell out of everything. You sure you know how this stuff works?

The fact that the restaurateur needed connections, or had to pay into the fund, doesn't mean you got served body parts.

Judging from the “stash” in Jack’s room it appears he was an avid AIR SOFT guy. That’s why he had all the tactical gear. He would go to the woods or an AIR SOFT range and chase other guys, similarly armed, doing simulated combat. The evidence collected from Jack’s room in terms of the faux “firearms” picture tells us one thing for certain — the media are a bunch of lying bastards too lazy or too ignorant to actually do some legitimate reporting.

I would argue that the dangerous situation in which Rittenhouse inserted himself - riots and mayhem in Kenosha which had the potential for lethality - is the same as was the subway with the psycho.

The riots you could argue, or "protests" had time to develop and the subway was something that happened at the spur of the moment. Yes, Rittenhouse knew the danger ahead of time but does his wanting to try to prevent violence by being armed different in what Daniel Penny did by springing into action on a few minutes' notice?

Maybe legally, but to me it's splitting hairs.

It's "funny" because 93% of black murders are at the hands of other blacks. (but only 84% of whites killed by whites ... gee who are the other races killing the extra whites?)

"According to the FBI and the U.S. Department of Justice, between 1980-2008, most murders were intraracial, with 84% of white victims killed by whites and 93% of Black victims killed by Black perpetrators."

I try to get the plainest ones they have that don't look like track suit stuff. I wear camp shirts and polos most of the time, so shirts aren't much of a problem.

And why not. Rush was just as racist as the current governor and the state house.

At one time they wanted highway 27. Thank god that got turned down.

I wrote 17 letters to the Golf Channel from the CEO to every sports personality. A couple of months later a rep called me, said they agreed with my letters and that Rush would never be on the Golf Channel again. When the rerun's came on he was not on them!

Heh. Top-tier trolling in Florida. They're just running up the score now on the culture war front.

Limbaugh probably deserves a street name (there was a time when I would have disagreed, because I think naming major infrastructure after people should be very, very rare and reserved for heroes at least on generation dead - but that ship has long sailed), but it is probably primarily for trolling purposes. "Make winning fun" is, if I recall correctly, one of the precepts of Alinskyism. A good thing to learn.

The Texas National Guard and
@TxDPS
seem to have effectively fortified much of the main illegal crossing area here in Brownsville where there was a free for all of mass crossings just days ago. Once TX resources arrived w/ razor wire & soldiers, crossings now a trickle vs a rush.

Migrants usually end up finding another area to cross once one area becomes ineffective for them, and Texas has a limited amount of resources it can deploy. So the question becomes, where may they move next - and what is the cartel/smugglers’ next move to respond?

========================
I recall, years ago, a friend tried to have blood donated for his wife's upcoming surgery. The hospital loved the idea of donations but refused point-blank to direct those donations to her surgery, saying they "collect and pool donations, regardless" and refuse to start directing particular donations to a named recipient. Just said "no".

378 Migrants usually end up finding another area to cross once one area becomes ineffective for them, and Texas has a limited amount of resources it can deploy. So the question becomes, where may they move next - and what is the cartel/smugglers’ next move to respond?

380 Does anyone here have a personal read on safety in downtown Minneapolis. Son got a very nice legal internship at a firm located downtown after his 1st year of law school… it’s a great get, but he’ll be living and working downtown this summer. I’m worried about his safety though…. He’ll be about a mile from the Vikings football stadium. He’s really not prepared to defend himself if he’s physically accosted by a homeless bum or criminal… thanks in advance.

Probably, yes. That is why they aren't allowed to donate blood (or weren't, apparently). Not that all gay people have diseases, but the odds are so much higher.

Whether David and Seinfeld intended it or not, the show was about social norms and about the consequences of violating them. There was a story line about people reacting badly to those who did not wash their hands after using the bathroom, and I knew several people who admitted after the show aired that they indeed started washing up more diligently.

It was filled with stupid people, yes, but a carefully crafted stupidity that led to endless quotable lines and bravura performances from Richards, Alexander, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

The cartels and the NGOs. Some of the aliens will team up with Antifa. None with BLM - opposed goals. Most of those that go hard at street war will do so with those who brought them here: the drug cartels. The three big forces are Antifa, BLM and the ethnic drug gangs like MS-13. They are not allied with each other, though they do all see normal Americans as the enemy and all three are supported by the government, with which they have common cause on this matter.

I don't think there is much doubt. But the caravans have largely been funded by the same people who fund the NGOs who are nothing more than fronts for the globalists. And they were also a huge source of funds for BLM.

The goal is to destabilize our society and replace it with one more to their liking. Indiscriminate violence is the name of the game.

513 Good morning, all, and thanks, J.J.

The PA state primary is next Tuesday. The Delaware County Municipal "unofficial candidates listing" is presently 32 pages in length, covering everything from State Courts to the Municipal Primary with voting County Wide, School District, Magisterial Judge, Municipality and (sub) Wards. There's also a Special House District election.

The county was largely red for many decades, only flipping largely blue after the 2017 election of PDT. The Dems were ready, lining up 2 guys who were "outsiders" - one to run as County Council Chair & the other to "draw fire" - thus allow allowing them to also drag progressive women who had been unsuccessful in past attempts, onto the County Council. Nepotism was their hew and cry, and as the County - bordering Philly & recently REDRAWN to share some voting with - was changing demographically, it was perfectly planned.

W/the exception of State Courts, almost every seat - ALL School Boards & Municipalities - has been cross-filed, both R & D. Does it matter? Absolutely, given DIE, grifting as a career, and even abortion as a broader, future issue in state & nation.

Upon you be peace.

I'll also say we (Upstate) are pretty free from the political atmosphere prevailing Downstate.

I just finished a book about Gettysburg, taken from the letters, diaries, and later in life interviews with participants and witnesses on both sides. Many/Most of the Union troops had never even seen a black person before, and when they came across one they all dropped what they were doing and mobbed them just to look. Also, many had never met a Southerner before...many/most were shocked that the southerners captured never referred to blacks as slaves, they all universally called them "Servants".

529 Time to stop thinking about the federal government as the end game and focus on saving individual states instead. I’m not saying we abandon the fight in the federal level entirely. We should still support the best candidates and so forth. But as you so prolifically suggest, it’s currently a lost cause. So we should put most of our energies into hardening those red states willing to defy the feds. Blue states created the precedent of ignoring federal laws they don’t like with sanctuary rules, drug legalization, etc. so they won’t have a moral leg to stand on. In the meantime we need to prepare for the inevitable counter-offensive by prepping our strongest red states to be as financially and resourcefully independent as possible.
