The Morning Report

The Morning Report — 6/13/23

Good morning kids. Someone tell China and the Religion of Peaceniks that they can come on in any time. Just avoid the Coney Island whitefish and pools of soiled Astroglide strewn about the Rose Garden lawn. Maybe that's the Biden version of SDI; spread STD via spreading cheeks, so that even Fang-Fang and Khomeini would be repulsed.

Transgender activists were seen baring their topless chests at a White House LGBTQ Pride Event hosted by [so-called quote-unquote "president"] Joe Biden over the weekend. Posted to TikTok on Monday by transgender model Rose Montoya, the now-viral video featured the activist and several other transgender activists showing off their pride by shimmying in front of the camera with their naked chests. Montoya, a male model living as a woman, notably covered the nipples of his fake breasts while the other two, women living as men, proudly revealed their scars from breast reduction surgery.
“Are we topless at the White House?” Montoya could be heard saying as the camera revealed the half-naked activists dancing in front of the White House.
Prior to the big moment, Montoya could be seen shaking hands with President Joe Biden, thanking him for his LGBTQ Pride support. . .
. . . “A photo in a group of other images from the event shows what appears to be the ‘Progress Pride Flag’ hanging between the American flags while the President and First Lady are seen among attendees,” it added.
During the Pride celebration, the president vowed to fight against current laws circulating in the United States that would ban transgender surgeries on minors as well as transgender athletes from participating in women’s sports.
“When a person can be married in the morning and thrown out of a restaurant for being gay in the afternoon, something is still very wrong in America,” Biden said.

As usual, President Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants got it ass-backwards (no, that's not code language), but not because of the dementia either. When homosexuals can be entitled to violating Judeo-Christian doctrine and force believers to commit blasphemy by sanctifying their marriage, yet believers can be thrown out of restaurants for refusing to kiss their holy cock-rings, yes indeed, something is VERY wrong in America.

And that's just for starters. America as we had known it or at least believed it to be no longer exists. This is yet another revolting and alarming indicator as to the state of our nation and our society. President Trump is on the verge of being railroaded on trumped up or highly dubious charges via twisted, pretzel-logic spurious interpretations of law, or plain old naked writs of attainder while Joe Biden runs, or more accurately shambles, mumbles, fumbles or is dragged around free as a bird despite half a century of selling out every office he was elected to or stole.

But perhaps this kind of garbage is the ant-abuse, emetic, cultural ipecac and cold hard slap in the face we need.

Wokeness rules America. In the last three years every element of public life from governments to corporations has been conditioned to impose a radical social agenda on the nation. Women have ceased to exist and the government is forcing schools to sexually indoctrinate children.
A new Gallup poll suggests that this culture war has backfired. Badly. This year the largest number of Americans has come out of the closet as social conservatives since 2012.
Biden has taken us back to Obama’s first term in more ways than one.
That’s all the more remarkable because even last year the country was nearly tied between social conservatives and the socially liberal. This year the number of socially conservative Americans shot up from 33% to 38% while the socially liberal fell from 34% to 29%.
That’s a massive inversion from 2021 when 34% claimed to be socially liberal and only 30% were socially conservative, and the end of American values seemed to be here. . .
. . . Democrats met declining religiosity and values with a kulturkampf that was not satisfied with adult sexual license but became perversely obsessed with sexualizing children. The electoral consequences of that toppled Democrat rule in a number of statues. And as the Biden administration doubles down on sexualizing children, threatening to investigate schools that don’t serve pornographic materials to children, Republicans are realizing what they believe.
The growth among independents, a majority of whom identify as social moderates has been marked, but limited, with social conservatives rising from 24% to 29%. Equally importantly, the number of social liberals among independents has fallen from 27% to 23%.
More independents, by a narrow margin, are now socially conservative than socially liberal.
This has not only significant cultural, but political consequences. Democrats and Republicans attributed their performance in the midterms to blowback over abortion. It’s become accepted wisdom that the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision was an electoral disaster that turned the country against Republicans. And yet there’s no sign of that in the Gallup poll numbers.
If the Dobbs decision had led to any significant shift then more people would be identifying as socially liberal and fewer as socially conservative. Instead the country has gone the other way.
There is a passionate ‘Abortion Uber Alles’ demographic and its impact shouldn’t be discounted, but the nation as a whole is trending more socially conservative and, even among Democrats, there’s been no growth in the socially liberal and a slight growth among the socially moderate and even a tiny bit among socially conservative. Abortion has not radicalized the Democrats.
And if it hasn’t radicalized the rank-and-file Democrats, it certainly hasn’t radicalized Americans. . .
. . . The backlash against the culture war is not a permanent solution, but it is an opening. . . Over the generations, Republicans ceded to socialism, big government, illegal migration, Communism and social liberalism only to be dragged back by a reaction to leftist extremism. . .
. . . The wokes believe that they’re the only ones who are truly ‘awake’, but more and more Americans are waking up. Against wokeness, a moral awakening is rising.

I would like to believe Daniel Greenfield's optimistic take on this situation. Yet, if history teaches us, or at least me, anything is as someone once quipped "When anything goes, soon everything goes." Or, once the Overton Window has been shifted, has it ever swung back the other way? I'm also not so sanguine, about his observations on abortion. Is abortion part of the culture war or is it a separate issue unto itself? Perhaps it's the myth/perception of "choice" as a residue of the so called women's liberation movement that even Republican and/or conservative women still bitterly cling to. If it isn't, it made no sense (outside of the quite probable rigging of the election) that this hardcore lefty Joanne Prostitukavich was able to win the vacant seat on the Wisconsin State Supreme Court running solely on the sacred right of baby-killing.

I don't get it. Why is protecting children outside the womb a seemingly slam dunk grand slam winner for our side and yet protecting them before they're born not? Is it just messaging or ceding the language and argument to the Leftists, or what?

We have devolved slowly, then all at once, into a sick, venal, corrupt and hideously perverted society. This cannot go on. Our enemies abroad surely see this if not playing an active part in our self-destruction (see Tik-Tok as one example). On the one hand, you just wretch your guts up at what happened at the White House, but on the other, the triumph of Glenn Youngkin and Winsome Sears (she is someone on the rise IMHO) in deep purple Virginia as the prime example, are things that give encouragement.

That the Junta used the instrumentalities of government to slime concerned, disgusted and angry parents as "terrorists" for opposing the mind- body- and soul-raping of their children is a sign that we are indeed directly over the target and in the thick of a box barrage.

Again, we only can see what the state-run media propagandists allow us to see, and interpreted/shaded and outright lied about to advance their meme. I think it is evident insofar as the corruption is so deep and widespread that elections aren't going to cut the mustard, even if they aren't rigged far in advance to ensure a proper outcome, i.e. the Democrat winning.

There has to be some black swan event that will be beyond the ability of even a semi-totalitarian regime such as we now are living under to control. Whether we will be the drivers of that event or it will be out of our control is yet to be determined.

Saint of the Day
St. Anthony of Padua (1195-1231) was born in Lisbon to a pious family. At age 15 he relinquished a life of nobility and chose instead to serve God with the Augustinians. Years later he witnessed the bodies of Franciscan friars who had been martyred by Muslims. Filled with renewed zeal to follow Christ even more completely, St. Anthony joined the Franciscan order and traveled to Morocco to preach to the Moors. However, his poor health prevented his mission and he was forced to return to Italy. There he lived a largely quiet and secluded life. No one had any idea of St. Anthony's giftedness as a preacher until one day he was called upon to be a substitute preacher. He amazed everyone in attendance with his oratory skill. He then became the foremost preacher of the Franciscans and was sent to preach against the heretics of the day. His zeal and effectiveness as a preacher earned him the title "Hammer of the Heretics." St. Anthony was known for his holiness and miracles, and was declared a Doctor of the Church in 1946. He is the patron saint of the elderly, fishermen, and the poor, and is renowned as the finder of lost articles. His feast day is June 13.

Trump's coming election will be the catalyst that upends the whole mess.

The end result, when the dust settles, will be the journey back to what the political system was intended to be, instead of being suborned to the point of invisibility.

None of this journey will be easy, but a part of our heritage.

Posted to TikTok on Monday by transgender model Rose Montoya, the now-viral video featured the activist and several other transgender activists showing off their pride by shimmying in front of the camera with their naked chests. Montoya, a male model living as a woman, notably covered the nipples of his fake breasts while the other two, women living as men, proudly revealed their scars from breast reduction surgery.

Simply put, hard times make more conservatives across the board and stagflation is becoming entrenched unless the Fed and other central banks stomp on the economy via interest rate hikes.

68 Much of Polanyi's research focused on the importance of what he called "tacit knowledge" — the shared body of unwritten beliefs, ideas, and understandings that operate within every worthy civilization, including conceptions of fairness and ideas of merit, religious and cultural beliefs, and moral restraints.

-

The only part that's different now is racial, sexual, government, etc. tensions against normal people are cranked up to 11.

Oh, and the open calls for child sex abuse and fetish mutilation surgery.

Interestingly, though, the Obama first term financial "crisis" was entirely pretend, also. There were laws in place to handle it, and they were ignored. With that in mind I'd argue that we haven't "gone back" to the 2008 era, but are still enjoying it. It was never fixed. Nothing was ever allowed to happen. Too big to fail and all that. The only thing that happened is that the middle class was further destroyed, which was the plan all along.

But interest rate hikes will kill the budgets of most Western countries and force some nasty decisions of who gets what and how much.

Austerity will come no matter what. Eventually, we run out of "back stops" and guarantees. When it does, look out below. Best case scenario, we get widespread privation until the bad debts are purged, virtually everyone goes broke, and then a new generation of wealth-concentrated robber barons put us back on our feet with new industry.

Worst case scenario, we become South Africa and de-develop back to the 19th century, albeit with roving gangs of violent villains and organized gangsters and nothing approaching systemic order. South Africa isn't quite there yet, but it will get there. I'd guess 12-18 months.

Reality will probably be some awful middle ground, but there will be no time or resources for this kind of nonsense.

It is, especially because the headline isn't correct. It's shown to be incorrect in the excerpt you posted below it.

Target has a lot of downside risk. They're at the limits of growth for new stores, they're being robbed blind (literally) in the pro-crime blue hives, people have less money and a lot of folks are moving further down-market, etc. The structural problems Target is facing are far, far more important than a fairly small backlash due to the grooming shit. Target is woke as its brand identity, and most of the customer reshuffling has already happened.

But the MSM - eager for splashy headlines - is giving the anti-woke movement credit it does not deserve. People will read those headlines (though probably not the articles, at least not carefully) and think they're true. Those who are on board with that kind of thing will be *more* encouraged to try again and to wreck up another big company.

This misattribution of cause is a net win for our side.

Northwestern School of Law capitulated to the student, Ishani Chokshi, and even gave him his own law journal, which published his screeds likening judges’ gavels to “dildos.” And last month, a year after Chokshi graduated, a prestigious law journal published a “legal paper” by him that details his purported sexual escapades with seven men"

Perpetual decline doesn't happen. It can't. The structure requires a lot of support and eventually, you get so much decline that the structure caves in. The system as a whole cannot limp along continually in permanent slow decline. At some point, the decline becomes just enough that whole damn thing falls apart.

135 The Korean war never formally ended, it is only under cease fire. China sent troops (one does not volunteer in a Communist country, one is "volunteered") kept POWs, killed American troops, in other words was, and remains, our enemy in War. This means when General Milley told the Chinese military that he would warn them if Trump ordered an attack on them, he was violating the UCMJ provision against "intercourse (talking) with the enemy" which carries a potential DEATH SENTENCE for military personnel. I believe the military still uses firing squads. The military needs to prosecute Milley for his criminal actions.

151 For all their differences, "conservative" Republicans and "liberal" Democrats have spent the last seventy years pursuing a disastrously similar policy of progress. Republicans wrought progress by deregulating the economy; Democrats did the same in the social sphere.

And so the two sides of liberalism, ostensibly in opposition, were "revealed to be identical, monolithic, and eager to deploy power in the name of enforcing individual expressivism." Some people prospered, at least materially, but the people as a whole suffered. Gross domestic product grew, but life expectancy shrank.

162 The 30 trillion totalitarian beast still humorously called the federal govt is in full collapse, just like its USSR antecedent in the 90s.

It must, for just a very simple reason alone: the ratio of US representative to population went from 1:30k to 1:800k (I would say 1:910k). And the 30k was all population, so the voting representation, that paid the poll tax prior to voting, was less than 1:5k. The poll-tax paying voter had a real voice and stood a far better chance of having the representative know him and his views.

The 900k has been disenfranchised through ballot rigging, and the Representative only knows bundlers and Party stewards. It is impossible to have a representative government at the Federal level.

168 Target has also lagged far behind Walmart in supplementing it's in store sales with online services.

Walmart, while still a very junky website, has done a lot to mitigate its losses to Amazon.

The problem I see for some of these big box stores is that their property holdings should be an asset that grows over time, but when they shutter the stores, there is very little market to unload the property to.

Not very many businesses need that kind of space. So those behemoths just become tax drains on the company.

Plenty of towns where you can't find small storefront space to open a business, but there are half a dozen major big box footprints that sit vacant for a decade.

Not sure. It depends on how long I have. I think pessimistically, we hit the failure point in 20 years. In that case, I live to see it. Optimistically, we hit the failure point in 30-40 years. In that case, I might not.

Either way, things like government services *will* decline all during that time. They'll let inflation eat a lot of it so they can pretend it isn't happening, but there will also be real cuts. My guess right now is that those real cuts are going to be race-based and centered on Medicare - but it's anyone's guess.

If the culture keeps flying to pieces, it could happen sooner than I think the economics and politics would dictate. General strikes or secession movements would be accelerators. I don't see those happening, but people rarely do.

"covering" his nipples makes it sound like modesty - he was using his hands to jiggle his exposed fake breasts like an exotic dancer.

What a perfect image to go with Biden's disgusting "pride" celebration. So much to be proud of. . .

A friend of mine retired four years ago after 40 years as a long haul truck driver. He told me that the trucking companies were having trouble finding new drivers, so they've been hiring ex-cons and, yes, illegals. He also warned me that we will be seeing many more serious accidents involving trucks driven by these people. I have heard these stories from many other former truck drivers, as well.

Shadow stats has inflation running at 12.9 percent annually now. Simply letting inflation run at that level while keeping government spending the same dollar wise means that real govt spending is effectively cut in half in less that 6 years (see rule of 72). That is one of the ways of defaulting without a formal one. People holding gubmint bonds (other than I bonds) are effectively losing about 7-8 percent of their face value annually at that rate.

Half is good for most of the government, although the premise is wrong because spending will *not* be held constant over the years. It isn't held constant now, and it won't be tomorrow. It's all pure fiction and they keep spending more and more. Even if this *did* happen, though, there are some departments that need deliberate, extensive and punitive cuts for power reasons and for retribution and punishment.

I don't want him impeached. I want this corrupt, senile scumbag to be the nominee the left is saddled with in 2024 not some fresh face the left can more easily cover for.

This isn't a movie and the left isn't a group of criminal masterminds. They are the insane clown posse that through years of neglect by we the people got in charge of the levers of power. They can cheat but they can't make Biden a likable, competent law abiding president.

This internal migration that's been going on since about 2019 is unprecedented and there does seem to be a sorting going on. Time will tell on that, but right now it doesn't appear to be purely colonial like the CA exodus into the Interior West was. At least, I damn well hope not because I'd hate to have moved to somewhere that's about to be destroyed.

But it's hard to Mogadishu in the same country as healthier places, because of the appeal to loot the better to hurl into the gaping maw of the worse. And they have the state power to do it. That kind of thing *could* result in civil war, but I think that's unlikely. Perhaps low-grade conflict at the interfaces, but nothing will stop the Chief Expropriator from looting and transferring to himself and the Mogadishus.

298 I don't get it. Why is protecting children outside the womb a seemingly slam dunk grand slam winner for our side and yet protecting them before they're born not? Is it just messaging or ceding the language and argument to the Leftists, or what?

Looking at it from the pro-abortion side the issue is responsibility and the difference between men and women. So as a woman don't you protection and...you might get "punished by a baby". This is exacerbated by the fact only women can get pregnant (sorry trannies)

Why does the leftwing argument matter here? Because Americans have become less responsible and American women have broadly adopted the feminist mantra that anything that affects women more then men is horrible discrimination.

Though in my experience this argument is a 100% winner for the right. Why? Because the primary pro-abortion voters are already motivated leftwing voters. Essentially if you care about "abortion rights" you are already voting D. But there are many, many pro-lifer voters that traditionally don't vote R because they don't agree with the Rs on other issues and don't see the Rs actually doing anything about abortion.

They WANT to be victims so they can feel like heroes for just existing in the face of such oppression.

It is softball fucking living.

Think about this: My family moved in to souther indiana in around the 1820s-30s. Just after the territory was made into a state. We were hiking back to a old cemetery WAY back inside one of the State parks and the homesteaders had been given land there back when. Setting aside the trees, there was barely any flat land. It would have been brutal to work. Including the trees, given the dense forest cover, the areas that are completely clear (and used for farming now) must have been a gigantic pain in the ass to clear, while at the same time trying to keep your family alive with food, clean water, etc. THAT is hardship.

Well they are trying an experiment now with hyperinflation. Don't raise taxes, but steal more and more money from the treasury. This directly leads to inflation which is just a hidden tax.

I remember when the narrative used to be that banks don't like inflation and that inflation and devaluating the currency helped the common man against the evil banks.

It's economists who don't like deflation, the reason being that deflation encourages holding physical currency which done on a wide enough scale causes things to seize up.

Banks just want some level of constancy, changing rates of inflation(and ensuing rate changes) is what screws them up.

Carson is interesting. Affable. Quick witted. I almost guarantee he was a gigantic ass to deal with in private. However, he was able to project a completely friendly and easy manner. He never came off as snide or condescending.

It really is pretty remarkable.

But can and should, because that's how freedom works. I sort of think America knew this briefly, but it's been a long time since those days.

Probably somewhere around the push to outlaw private businesses having legally sold cigarettes smoked on site, but that's just a guess.

345 Mentioned this last week, at public library there were 2 trans sitting at a table in the center of the floor, right next to main checkout, eating (not allowed), joking loudly, just begging for a reaction. First thought was: bet they have someone nearby to film should someone ask them to follow library rules/etiquette. Happy pride month, y'all!!

Get two or three very straight surrogates to join the offenders and engage in similar eating and loud noise. Clearly this will upstage and case a negative reaction from the disrupters as their plan is falling apart before their eyes. The next step is a library employee kindly, and politely ask the entire group to stop eating, quiet down, or leave "because that are the rules".

Good luck getting outrage from that video.

TBH I think it would have been smarter to pull a reverse Florida 2000 for them.

Pull off The Steal in the 6 stolen states while ramping back the fraud in places like CA so Trump gets his 74M votes, Biden gets 72M or something but still a majority in the EC.

But...they weren't prepared for Trump's totals and just kicked the fraud machine into overdrive.

If I recall correctly, Carson did have the reputation of being an ass behind the scenes.

But I think men have to be better at hiding that in public, because other men are noticing them on their shows. Women are more easily fooled.

When it comes out that people like Oprah and Ellen DeGeneres and Rosie O'Donnell are total bitches behind the scenes, chicks are always saying 'oh, but she seems so *nice* on TV.'

They do not seem that way. All of those women practically had "psycho hose-beast" written on their shirts.

Most likely. That is why I find all of the harrumphing about Trump V Desantis slightly pointless- because no one is making a push against the real threat here. Any attempt to try to address it has been vetoed (BY THE SAME GIVERNOR WHO AS SECRETARY OF STATE DID IT) or ignored.

We are almost assuring a bloody end to this by NOT taking it seriously. And I get why. No one wants to blow everything up, they just want to go back to the way things are. The problem with this is that THEY MEAN to obliterate you. They mean to erase you. They are not so hampered by a desire to return to normalcy. That they will not like what they create is meaningless because they are stupid.

And George Soros, Jr. got pictures with his friend, Crazy K.; the former Australian PM & current Australian Ambassador to the US, Mark Rudd, who hosted his 1st Pride Event in D.C. with MC drag queen Crystal Edge on the 8th, and Senator Schumer ('the Jewish LBJ' to many).

BBC News, 19 Aug 2020, "US Election 2020: Kamala Harris targeted by false conspiracy theories" Claim #4. In part, "His son posted a message on Twitter* congratulating Ms. Harris, which has been shared by right-wing accounts, but that in no way indicates that Mr. Soros had anything to do with the selection of Ms. Harris."

But...The Free Beacon, Nov 11, 2020, "George Soros Looms Large Over Biden Transition" and, linked back to the LGBTQ++ Movement, First Things, 1/21/20, "The Billionaires Behind the LGBT Movement"
