The Morning Report

The Morning Report — 6/2/23

Good morning kids. It's simply beyond parody now. When even the dead and nonexistent people who "voted" for a demented sack of rotting vegetables are screaming for him to be given the hook. . .

Progressives are renewing their calls for a fair and contested Democratic presidential primary Thursday after [so-called quote-unquote "president"] Joe Biden fell on stage during the U.S. Air Force Academy’s graduation ceremony.
Widely shared video footage showed Biden walking on stage in a suit and baseball cap when he fell to the ground and required assistance to get back up.
The [so-called quote-unquote "president"] was helped to his feet by three people and the White House later attributed his tumble to a sandbag on stage. His latest fall renewed concerns about his age and sparked calls from progressives for the Democratic primary to be an open process.
“[S]ome top Democrats have privately been saying for months that they’re nervous about Biden tripping again on the trail. Today he did,” Axios journalist Alex Thompson tweeted.
Biden is being challenged by environmental lawyer and vaccine skeptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and author Marianne Williamson. One CNN poll taken in late May showed Kennedy at 20% and Williamson at 8% with Democratic primary voters.

Meh, it could be worse. He could be John Fetterman. Seriously, Biden went down almost as hard as Hillary just before the 2016 election and even the media couldn't cover that one up. I think the visual of that was one of the things that had an effect on voters. This could be the same for Biden, and we're over a year away from the conventions. That said, if a crashing economy and the world set to go up in flames before a Chi-Com and/or Islamic takeover doesn't convince enough people, what the hell is this going to do? And yet, sometimes the picture is worth the proverbial thousand words. Of course, Dao-Min Yen will be in full force regardless of who goes up against Trump or DeSantis.

Jesse Morgan drove a tractor trailer for a contractor working for the U.S. Postal Service. Shortly after the 2020 election, Morgan made these claims at a press conference held by the Amistad Project of the Thomas More Society:
– On October 21, 2020, Jesse drove his truck and trailer from Bethpage, New York, to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, loaded with as many as 288,000 completed ballots. In addition, there were two large trays of mixed mail, bound for Lancaster. Those were in the front of the trailer.
– Jesse drove the trailer to Harrisburg, but was not allowed to unload. After a six-hour wait, he was told to drive to Lancaster, without unloading at Harrisburg. In addition, the supervisor in Harrisburg refused to give him any paperwork to document his arrival in Harrisburg or his six-hour wait, which normally would justify extra compensation.
– Jesse Morgan was perplexed by these instructions because “95 percent” of the load was for Harrisburg, and that mail would have to be unloaded before anyone could get access to the Lancaster mail bins. After that, the Harrisburg mail would have to be returned to the trailer and driven back to Harrisburg. Even for the government, that is slightly inefficient.
– As instructed, Morgan drove the tractor trailer to Lancaster, and parked it in his usual spot. The next morning, the trailer had disappeared, without explanation. The trailer and the ballots were gone, and no one would explain to Morgan, or anyone else in this world, what had happened. . .
. . . So, after more than a year of investigation, the Post Office IG was still not sure if the two batches of printed ballots were shipped into Pennsylvania in trucks owned by the printing company, or were taken to Rochester-area post offices to be delivered in government trucks. Wouldn’t the Post Office know whether or not it delivered the 650,000 ballots?
And, what about the printing company? It printed 650,000 general election ballots, which may have cost close to $200,000 (per-unit cost for printed ballots is $.29 in New York State). Yet, the company didn’t know -- a year and a half later -- how it managed to get the ballots into another state? . . .
. . . Joe Hoft of the Gateway Pundit conducted a great interview of retired intelligence officer, Tony Schaeffer. Starting at the 12-minute mark, Schaeffer discusses his investigation of Jesse Morgan and Attorney General William Barr’s threats that shut it down.
Early on, Schaeffer was asked by members of the Pennsylvania Senate to thoroughly investigate the Morgan claims. He formed a special team of “former postmasters,” who spent a week trying to determine if Morgan’s story was feasible, given normal Post Office procedures. They concluded that it was feasible, and that Morgan was credible.
Schaeffer then asked an acquaintance, former attorney general Ed Meese, to call Barr to inform him of the findings. According to Tony Schaeffer, no more than 10 minutes went by before Barr called him to tell him to stop investigating. Barr spent 20 minutes, essentially yelling at him in a threatening way. Schaeffer asked if Morgan could get whistleblower status, and Barr refused. After that, Morgan dropped out of sight.
. . . Final point: The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania certified its 2020 election despite the undisputed fact that it had recorded 202,000 more ballots cast than voters. That disparity probably made the election certification illegal under Commonwealth law. Eventually, Pennsylvania “found” more voters, but not enough. To this very day it appears that there were 91,000 more ballots cast than identified voters. Of course, that number exceeds Biden’s winning margin. It also lends credence to the claims of Jesse Morgan. But... let’s not be picayune.

Remember, this was just Pennsylvania. Similar garbage was happening in Wisconsin, Georgia, Michigan, Arizona and Nevada. And then there were the mail-in ballots in all 50 states that were about as protected as a toddler at Tranny Story hour. But if you bring this up, you're an "election denier" and "conspiracy theorist!"

Until my dying day: At the barest of bare minimums, there is more than enough circumstantial, eyewitness and physical evidence to indicate that one has to assume that the integrity and security of the 2020 election was compromised to such an extent as to call into doubt the outcome, at the barest of bare minimums. You all know my feelings, which I'm sure many if not all of you agree with. Paul/Kurt right now lifting his head from the subway glory-hole notwithstanding.

And when people went to DC on January 6th to legitimately protest the results of that tractor trailer full of ballots, among other things, it was an "insurrection." Yeah. Sure.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) began January 6, 2021, by mugging for the cameras—more specifically, a camera operated by her filmmaker daughter, Alexandra Pelosi, who just happened to record every moment of her mother’s movements on what would become one of the most infamous days in American history.
As a clearly tense Pelosi prepared to convene the joint session of Congress during which Republican members of the House and Senate planned to debate the Electoral College outcome in six states—Pelosi also is seen conducting a caucus video conference that morning criticizing Republican plans to delay certification—her chief of staff warned that President Trump might go to the Capitol following his noon speech at the Ellipse. “I hope he comes, I’m gonna punch him out,” she told Terry McCullough.
Turning toward her daughter’s camera, Pelosi continued her tirade. “I’ve been waiting for this, for trespassing on Capitol grounds. I’m gonna punch him out, I’m gonna go to jail, and I’m gonna be happy.”
Less than two hours later, members of Congress, including Pelosi, were evacuated when the building was breached shortly after 2 p.m. Alexandra Pelosi later told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour the events of January 6 “offended her [mother] in her soul.”
But if Pelosi’s soul was indeed offended, unseen footage released today by Just the News founder John Solomon suggests otherwise. Pelosi is seen cooly walking through the evacuation route on her way to a secure location at Fort McNair in Washington—with Alexandra just a few steps ahead, walking backwards, to capture the moment. Far from being under mortal threat by selfie-taking Americans in the Rotunda above, Pelosi is surrounded by her security detail as she is led to a chauffeured vehicle. Her daughter also traveled with her mother to the Army base located two miles from the Capitol. . .
. . . Alexandra’s fortuitous timing gifted the January 6 committee with powerful footage intended to show Nancy Pelosi in calm command on January 6, as well as the imminent danger faced by lawmakers and Vice President Mike Pence. At one point, Pelosi suggested Congress should reconvene the joint session at the military base. . .
. . . While Pelosi’s every physical move on January 6 is in the history books, her records related to January 6 are not. Representative Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), chairman of the now-defunct select committee, said Pelosi and her office were “off limits” from the investigation. Pelosi has not produced a single document, email, or call log to detail what she did in the weeks before January 6, even though her office was primarily responsible for security. . .
. . . In March 2021, the Justice Department designated the recordings “highly sensitive government material” and placed every clip under strict protective orders in court. January 6 defendants have complained for more than two years that exculpatory evidence could exist within the massive trove. McCarthy’s office has allowed some defendants and their attorneys to view the footage.

Put all of these three stories together and if your blood isn't boiling right now, you have the brain function somewhere between John Fetterman, Joe Biden and a mollusk.

As an aside and not altogether unrelated, if you want to know why America is so totally effed up, Chesa Boudin lands a teaching gig at Berkley and not to be outdone, Lori Lightfoot winds up with a gig at Harvard.

Land of hope and glory. Gevalt.

QUICK HEADS UP: The great Colonel Kurt Schlichter will be our special guest on the latest episode of the podcast, which if it's not up now will be in the sidebar a bit later this morning. Thank you, Kurt, for a great conversation!

Have a good weekend.

From The London Gazette on Friday 15 September 1916:

"The KING has been graciously pleased to approve the grant of the Victoria Cross to Boy, First Class, John Travers Cornwell, O.N.J.42563 (died 2 June 1916) [on HMS Chester at the Battle of Jutland], for the conspicuous act of bravery specified below. Mortally wounded early in the action, Boy, First Class, Jack Travers Cornwell remained standing alone at a most exposed post, quietly awaiting orders, until the end of the action, with the gun's crew dead and wounded all round him. His age was under sixteen and a half years."

Subsequent events were no less tragic. Jack's father died in October, 1916. His half-brother was killed in action in 1918. His mother died in extreme poverty in 1919. Jack's two siblings still living at home were forced to emigrate to Canada.

36 What's funny is in the days leading up to the election, Dems were screaming that since Trump was in charge of the post office, he was purposely causing back logs and having his postal works destroy ballots. Before any bite was counted they had already stated that Dem losses (especially in GA) were only going to happen because Trump and all those historically Republican union postal workers were going to steal thr election for him.

Fast forward a few days and we see that Democrats were actually doing what they accused Republicans of doing. But they'll claim they are just observant and know what's really going on, while saying Republicans claiming fraud are conspiracy theorist.

We have to always remember, liberals aren't very smart. If they accuse a Republican of something, the is a near 100% chance they are doing that exact same thing.

43 And yet, sometimes the picture is worth the proverbial thousand words.
++++
I've long been puzzled by this expression. Treating words with such economy is a disservice to literature. A picture is worth a mere thousand words? Never. A thousand words could never describe the nuance and detail of even the coarse charcoal scribblings of a young child. For any picture of any merit whatsoever, many more than a thousand words are inevitably required. To weave a tapestry of threads is far simpler - and far less meaningful - than weaving a tapestry of words not for vulgar eyes but for active minds.

The life of the writer is one of ascetic, tortured loneliness in the struggle to weave tapestries of the mind. A writer should never be concerned with economy of words, and should as many of them as necessary and the more, the better.

Pelosi is seen cooly walking through the evacuation route on her way to a secure location at Fort McNair in Washington—with Alexandra just a few steps ahead, walking backwards, to capture the moment.

Cooly walking? She was clearly fleeing with a howling mob inches behind her. I could barely watch the Just the News footage as it triggered such a powerful flight response in me that I fainted. #PelosiBrave

46 Saint of the Day
St. Elmo (d. 303 AD), was an Italian bishop during the reign of Roman Emperors Diocletian and Maximian. During their brutal persecution against Christians, St. Elmo left his diocese and fled to Mount Lebanon where he lived for seven years. An angel advised him to return to his diocese in order to vanquish his enemies. After declaring himself to be a Christian, he was brought to stand trial before Diocletian himself. St. Elmo confessed his faith in Christ and denounced the emperor. For this rebuke he was tortured and thrown into prison, but an angel miraculously freed him so that he could continue his journey and save many souls along the way. Two more times St. Elmo would endure the cycle of working miracles, baptizing thousands of people, getting arrested and mercilessly tortured, and being miraculously freed before arriving back in his own diocese. St. Elmo is the patron of mariners and sailors, abdominal pain, intestinal cramps, and women in labor. The electrical discharge on ships at sea, "St. Elmo's Fire," is named for him. His feast day is June 2nd.

81 Final point: The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania certified its 2020 election despite the undisputed fact that it had recorded 202,000 more ballots cast than voters. That disparity probably made the election certification illegal under Commonwealth law. Eventually, Pennsylvania “found” more voters, but not enough. To this very day it appears that there were 91,000 more ballots cast than identified voters. Of course, that number exceeds Biden’s winning margin. It also lends credence to the claims of Jesse Morgan. But... let’s not be picayune.

---------

Not to mention, wasn't it Pennsylvania who told Justice Alito -- and his order to segregate & maintain ballots that arrived after Election Day -- to go pound sand?

Why yes, I believe it was ... and then SCOTUS (including Trump's three appointees) stabbed him -- but more importantly the nation -- in the back with it's "NO STANDING" idiocy in the lawsuit by Texas and 20 other U.S. States.

And why shouldn't it? Twitter is still good for something, even in the Musk era, and that's allowing the normal people in this country who are fed up with the corruption to speak truth to power.

The Secret Service was in rough shape even before Trump but he managed to subvert far too much of that organization into his personal hatchet men. There are large numbers of Secret Service agents who are loyal not to the office and person of the President, but to the man of Donald Trump. Littering Biden's path with obstacles, smearing oil on the steps of Air Force One, etc. are all typical of the childish and stupid (albeit extremely dangerous) methods with which we all became familiar during our national nightmare of 2017-2021.

It's overdue that the Secret Service is held accountable for the dangerous and anti-democratic game of chicken they're playing with this country's legitimate leader.

There's nothing at all fishy with the fact that parts of the city that see a rate of only 5% when it comes to people showing up for work, suddenly see 100% of registered voters show up to vote.

That's one story of one incident. I'm guessing there were efforts in all 50 states to rig the "election." Some obviously were more successful than others. Some were not needed.

If the Republicans are remotely interested in reclaiming the White House* they should have started on their own ballot harvesting/creation program back in 2021. They have several national level fund raising operations so you'd think the infrastructure is already there to harvest and create ballots.

Likely, but there will also probably be some overlap with last time. It can't be any city, it has to be a big city in a narrow-margin swing state. There are only so many of them.

Republicans should try and identify cities in key states, that have low voter turn out, strong Democrat control, and a big enough populations to make a difference.

Democrats are going to get sloppy, as they saw how 2020 and 2022 was easy, so if they do try to switch cities it'll end up being someplace where observers can track such a large voting % shift, as opposed to big cities where adding 1,000 votes here or there may not seem fishy.

My theory is even with the Mail-In garbage, and even some Dao-Min Yen, Trump was still going to beat the cheat and win it. That's when either via a direct order or independent action, the individual cities and states Broke Glass Pulled Handle and just dumped the ballots after kicking out the observers.

164 McCarthy should hold Wray in contempt and then issue an arrest warrant to be executed by the Capitol Police.

-------

In the unlikely event that the House holds Wray in contempt, the DoJ will refuse to execute the warrant, as they did with Holder.

I don't know if Cap cops can do it. But I'm almost certain that, IIRC, the House *can* order the Sergeant-at-Arms to do it if the other corrupt authorities won't. But - that would require an act of moral courage by the GOP, so that's an academic question. Only possible in theory.

166 re: 'Mental Health’ Is a Political Mirage

*******

Expanding so-called access to "mental health services" by certifying more psychologists LPC's* and LCSW's** to augment psychiatrists is guaranteed to increase the prevalence of mental health diagnoses.

Ask yourself what the likelihood is that an evaluation by an ancillary "mental health professional" will NOT result in a mental health diagnosis of some sort. They truly cannot "not give" you a diagnosis.

There most definitely IS a code for everything.

*LPC - licensed professional counselor
**LCSW- licensed clinical social worker

I will say this so far; It's interesting (to me) that an action film has so much humor, that I think Alan Rickman uses his face-his smile (which almost looks like the baring of teeth of an animal) and eyes very well to play his part, and that the dark humor of John sending down the dead terrorist in a santa suit which says "I now have a machine gun, Ho! Ho Ho" works very well as play off against Gruber. Bruce Willis does a great job.

Oh, yes; Even though it takes place at Christmas I would not call it a "Christmas film"

249 The 2020 state hearings, pulled together, detailed how the fraud was done:
1) ballots for state A were printed in state B
2) those ballots were then filled out in state B or state C. Either by machine or workers told they were filling "test" ballots.
3) state A filled ballots were then shipped to state A
4) where they were injected into the stream, via harvesters, or--as in PA--bulk dumps. Once they got that postmark, they were fully laundered and "legitimate."

All but 4 were not crimes in that jurisdiction. Most of 4 was done by people completely ignorant they were dropping fraudulent ballots for postmark. To say nothing of the Supreme Court deciding the statute of limitations on stealing a Presidential election is 3 months.

And he will be defined because Democrats *already* have Republicans branded. So he will be standard heartless Republican in the vein of Romney with an added anti-gay and "worse than Trump" bent.

People really forget what it was like for us before Trump came along. Then again most of those people thought Ted Cruz stood a national chance, which he did not.

A minority of very hateful people have taken complete control of the state and it is becoming a Fascist cesspool.

Millions of dollars and brains leaving too, between this migration of lgbtq folks and the Disney (and other business) losses. Seems like we are reverting back to a new and equally hideous Jim Crow era.

Worse, extremism experts and LGBTQ advocates warn that running will encouraging the fascists to more and greater threats -- against those who remain in FL, yes, but also elsewhere. None of the Target stores that received bomb threats were in FL.

The blue states are about to get a whole lot bluer, and the red redder. The polarization is only going to keep increasing as the country continues to Balkanize. Shit...which of you Morons is posting over there?!?!

296 I remember reading in the run-up to the 2020 election that the Dems had war gamed the election to ensure it was fortified because of [fill in left wing nonsense that sounds noble]. My theory is they counted votes carefully, determined Sponge Brain would lose, and then targeted the key swing states with the proper number electoral votes, had large cities/counties with reliable election officials with stunning come from behind Democrat win experience, statistically modeled the number of ballots needed, prepared them including delivery, set loose the ballot harvesters, and spun of the propaganda machine and lawyers to control the post election narrative. Looking back very few votes in a handful of places statistically speaking were all that was needed to change the election outcome. And they also knew that Trump was completely unprepared to fight them - compare his response to what happened in the Florida for the Bush-Gore contest; that was close but the GOP were solid in their response. Then multiply that amount of legal/political expertise needed in a few short days by 6 different jurisdictions. Trump never stood a chance to fight them.

pairing we have postulated immediately suggests a
possible copying mechanism for the genetic material."

314 "that HAS to be programmed into the drone. "

There is no "classical" programming associated with AI implementation. What the program does is "learn". The programmers inadvertently taught the AI that the operator was a threat to it's mission by refusing to award points. Then it got "creative" which is the actual point of AI.

Worse, extremism experts and LGBTQ advocates warn that running will encouraging the fascists to more and greater threats -- against those who remain in FL, yes, but also elsewhere. None of the Target stores that received bomb threats were in FL.

The blue states are about to get a whole lot bluer, and the red redder. The polarization is only going to keep increasing as the country continues to Balkanize. Shit...which of you Morons is posting over there?!?!

But if you can't tell your kid "no" to some groomer shit, because Six Flags doesn't have as cool of a groomer thing on offer, it should be no surprise when they start shrieking "I hate you daddy, because I'm a gay nonbinary hoozle-whatsit now, and I'm gonna kill myself, reeeee!"

2020 doesn't happen without the RNC/GOP letting it happen.

We have 30 years of evidence that shows us they will tank races as long as it keeps the "wrong" republican out.
Previously it wasn't a president but as we know there are Orange man rules now.

There is no reason to believe they will suddenly change and decide to win at any cost. In fact I'd say there is more evidence that shows they are poised to tank even harder to remove the MAGA movement, just like the Tea Party.

The AI process is to write software until it finds one that maximizes points. Introducing later constraints that interfere with maximizing points mean the process will just attempt to sabotage those constraints.

Yeah, each individual instance of the AI seeking to game the system instead of achieve the intended is fixable. Changing or countermanding previous orders could simply change the point scoring mechanism as well. But unintended results are kind of baked into the process, though most of it should be detectable fairly early on.

But that IS how they diminish Trump ... yeah, he's up, but only by 25 (which is a lot less than 39). IF Trump wins POTUS, I'm not 100% sure he will be as gung ho about mass firings and investigations as Bannon and friends keep saying ...

With all due respect, Marc, Kayleigh has been critical of Trump for awhile now. She’s grown more vocal with her attacks.

Which is her right.

But why can she be disloyal and critical of Trump but he can’t?

As someone who has been in politics for decades, you know loyalty is key…especially when your entire career is made because of the opportunity someone gave you. She’s on Fox because of Trump. She’s written popular books because of Trump.

You’ve been loyal to the guy who helped launch your career - George Bush. Have you agreed with every decision Bush has made or have you just decided to be loyal to Bush?

463 Progressives are renewing their calls for a fair and contested Democratic presidential primary Thursday after [so-called quote-unquote "president"] Joe Biden fell on stage...

Eh. Let's see who has who by the short hairs.

Reason Mag, today: Hunter Biden, Second Amendment Warrior? The younger Biden is reportedly considering a challenge to a federal law that bans illegal drug users from owning guns.

The issue hits close to home for Hunter: The Department of Justice is investigating a gun purchase he made in 2018. This is a time period during which he has admitted to regularly using crack cocaine. That could put him afoul of the law against drug users having guns.
--
Big problems for the progressives, the uniparty, too, if Hunt drags medical marijuana users - surely there are US Veterans among them - into the fray.

According to the U.S. DOJ, possession of a valid Medical Marijuana Card and/or the use of medical marijuana makes you an "unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance" who is prohibited by federal law from the purchase or acquisition, possession, or control of a firearm.

466 Apparently the AG Barr who was appointed by Trump found no reason to continue the investigation
That seems to indicate that there is no "there" there.
Bidens health? What ever happened to the zhollsty death watch ?

As far as going to National Parks: that is SOCIALISM!!.
Why should my taxes go to fund your vacations??
Socialism for me, but not for thee.

[Kurt: pointing out that Barr was appointed by Trump is the moral equivalent of Tina saying "I do" to Ike not knowing what lay ahead. Tedious, irksome and fucking ignorant is no way to go through life. But it is how Democrats and braindead semen-guzzlers like you do - jjs]

467 Great, GREAT morning monolouge, JJ! I look forward to your writings each new day, as I take my first sip of coffee.

We need to keep the pressure ongoing and ALWAYS about the 2020 election. And not just to keep the Democrats and the Left on notice but to also REMIND the Republicans about our knowledge of their hands in this huge criminal conspiracy. They should never be left off the hook for their duplicity and complicity. NEVER!

More than that. The story on the truckload of ballots from NY to PA? Barr jumped down the throat of the guy and told him to stop investigating. Means Barr was a participant in the coverup, willingly or not. Fox watching the henhouse.

Finally, my paycheck is $ 8,500 A working 10 hours per week online. My brother’s friend had an average of 12K for several months, he work about 22 hours a week. I can not believe how easy it is, once I try to do so. This is what I do....

AND GOOD LUCK.
