The Morning Report — 6/29/23

Good morning kids. So, the whopper-spouting Whopper known as Ana Navarro filled the screen – literally – on The Harpy Homemaker Show, aka The View (NY Post link alert) and offered up a chunk of ambergris. Per Miranda Devine:

. . . the Biden corruption scandal “is a story of a father’s love, and Joe Biden has never and will never give up on his son Hunter . . .
“That is part of his heart.”
The “View” co-host was simply echoing the spin from the White House to get out from under the latest avalanche of damning evidence about the Biden family grift machine during Joe’s vice presidency: Honest Joe is guilty of nothing more than loving his wayward son.
The New York Times’ Nick Kristof echoed the sentiment in a cringeworthy piece titled “The Real Lesson From the Hunter Biden Saga: It isn’t about presidential corruption but a determined parent battling his son’s addiction with unconditional love.”
Every defendant has a hard-luck tale and it’s a little much from a family that has been the epitome of privilege for decades when they don’t even try to provide an explanation.
Nor will Biden’s on-brand defiance fly this time.
The optics of his son and Joe’s brother Jim Biden — who still is under federal investigation — at the White House in bow ties for a state dinner last week was so in-your-face that even the Times raised an eyebrow.
It was just two days after Hunter’s sweetheart plea deal, and Attorney General Merrick Garland was preposterously in attendance.
Very funny, Joe!

The "story of a father's love" is also a recurring theme in The Godfather films. You just have to ignore the 160 minutes of people getting knifed, shot, garroted and car-bombed, along with the political payoffs, drug dealing, extortion, blackmail, adultery, pedophilia, vice and various and sundry other miscellaneous meshugas to get to the "real lesson" to be learned here, which gets a grand total of about 5-10 minutes tops of screen time.

I understand that this was also a recurring theme in the Saddam Hussein household, when he and beloved but sometimes rambunctious sons Queezy and Sneezy would gather for "Sunday gravy," then retreat to the rumpus room in Palace #32 for a spirited and fun round of billiards, Risk, Stratomatic Baseball, attacking Kurdish villages with poison gas, and then capping it all off with some rape and torture of political opponents and their families. Ba'ath time was always a hoot with those two. Ah, memories.

Yup. The story of a father's love for his son is timeless. And let it not be said that Hunter Biden did not return that affection. With interest. Of course, as some lady once said "It takes a village to raise a child." In this case, Washington DC, where the child and his father are protected with a giant deflector shield known as the Deep State.

Does Garland still deserve impeachment for his assortment of abuses, such as sitting on his hands to avoid real accountability for the younger Biden (and his pop), while weaponizing the country’s top law enforcement agency to try to send Biden’s top presidential challenger to federal prison? Absolutely. Is it smart politically for Kevin McCarthy to use the current momentum to hold Garland to account? Probably. Is the alleged involvement in a foreign bribery scheme enough to merit Biden’s own impeachment? Most definitely.
But if the blame — and punishment — for the DOJ corruption revealed by whistleblowers stops with Merrick Garland or even Joe Biden, it will happen again.
That’s because the Justice Department’s pattern of shielding the Biden family from the law wasn’t masterminded by either man. It happened because of career officials and bureaucrats, whose names most Americans don’t know, and whom Americans will never have the chance to vote out. They didn’t have to be told what to do. . .
. . . The regime, the deep state, the bureaucracy, whatever you want to call it: Shapley’s testimony shows their ability to manipulate political outcomes is so entrenched that their own elected overseers are powerless to stop it. . .
. . . The problem of a bureaucracy so bloated that the people’s elected servants in Congress and the White House can’t keep track of, let alone shut down, its mischief is not unique to the DOJ. But the Justice Department’s role as arbiter of how — or to whom — the law applies makes its rule-by-pencil-pusher especially dangerous.
Electing the right president or appointing the right attorney general will only help with that insofar as he can root out the career rot in the 115,000-employee DOJ. As the Gary Shapleys get pushed out, the integrity they bring to agencies like the DOJ and IRS will go with them.
And while corruption in the vastly left-leaning bureaucracy almost always benefits Democrats, the problem goes beyond partisan politics. If government agencies are so powerful that their work to protect political allies and topple their challengers continues unabated by the electoral process, then elections are no real transfer of power and we are not a functioning republic.

Bingo. We are most certainly not a functioning republic. We no longer have even the illusion of a functioning republic anymore. It's why the notion of candidates and primaries and elections is for me mostly an academic exercise. There is an evolutionary process going on brought about primarily by the surprise 2016 victory of Trump and then the reaction to him and to the millions of people who put him in office by the Biden's "love brokers." It's also a revolutionary process, or at least the final act in one which had been going on since 1913, if not before then. We are changing into a government and society that more and more is a dystopian nightmare. The only question is how deep and how dark will it get. If history teaches us anything, there is no limit.

The other side of that coin vis a vis revolutionary processes is the reaction by the people. If, as the Left constantly shriek "silence is violence," there can be no one on the sidelines. "You're either with us or the terrorists," which the execrable Dubya was right about, except at the wrong time and referring to the wrong sides. Unless there is some black swan event that we cannot perceive, then I don't really see anything that is going to stop the crazy train we are on from plunging into the abyss.

Maybe it's the attack on our children that is finally waking people up, at least to that heinous movement. But from one depredation, revolutions have sprung up. And going after the children is one huge depredation. They crossed one big ass rubicon with that. We shall see what the reaction will be or if it can develop into a chain reaction to change the course of history. Here's hoping.

I agree with the first sentence, which is why I keep asking, "what comes next?" in governing our country, but the elites do not seem to agree. The Junta evidently disagrees with the second sentence, fighting Trump with every cell of their bodies, and casting about until the found Biden ("Uncle Joe") last time. To the Junta, the candidate, puppet though we may see him to be, really mattered.

28 A possible solution to the bureaucratic swamp was proposed by Trump during his presidency. It was called "Schedule F."

It's an eye glazing proposed revamping of the General Services Administration's federal pay scale. It creates a new "classification" for federal employees that are in "positions that influence, create, manage or otherwise deal with policies." This new schedule, or classification carried the caveat that those employees could be terminated at will by the president.

Those faceless bureaucrats that work in the FBI, DoJ, the other alphabet bureaus and agencies that would have been affected by this surely had something to lose.

IMO this proposal was one of the reasons, a significant one at that, why the deep state needed to get rid of Trump.

We have to kill democracy in America to support a dictator in Ukraine (who suspends elections and imprisons opposition including an American, who Brandon never mentions). The uniparty is all in (BTW, John Cornyn is disgusting… can’t we do better in Texas?)

Tucker ends with a guess that the slimy Gavin Newsom will replace Brandon as soon as he starts drooling excessively (that time is soon). I don’t buy that part…. I think Biden runs next year and the only thing that would stop him is death (which given his apparent condition is possible I suppose).

I know for an absolute fact that mobile devices are being tracked (because I used the data). Nearly everyone may have several independent trackers working Right Now.

Various estimates from people like Comer and Peter Schweitzer put the total take for the Bidens at roughly $50 million and possibly more. And much of that money was coming from our enemies like the CCP. They weren't paying Joe for his scintillating personality.

Texas is running Coal at over 50% this AM and It will go to around 90% at available at around 1500.
We would need to double wind from 38000 MW to close to 80000 MW to replace that reliable 14,321 MW currently Coal has available.
Texas still needs to spend somewhere north of $15 Billion to get power from where the Wind and Solar is to the cities it is needed. Thats just from current install.

Massive payouts to this injured by the clot shot. Once you set a precedent everyone will claim to have been injured and THEN you can arrest everyone involved with it

Massive taxes on imported solar cells (and Chinese tech in general)

Massive taxes on social media

I disagree. But I believe in the Doctrines of Grace, and where the apostle John writes says that they "were never of us" (1 John 2:19). I classify these as "Nominal Christians" (in name only). Its only Free Will teachings that allow for people to self-identify as Christians and in today's vernacular are basically trans-Christian cheap makeup and cartoonish behavior that really mocks Christianity because the Spirit is not in them and does not conform them nor sanctify them.

So yeah, they fly the flag because they are still genetically carnal, worldly only wearing the flashy dress of Christianity when it serves them.

After 4 years of leftwing extremist Biden you are going to need 4 years of a "right wing extremist" just to get us back to 2020. So even if you are a moderate at this point you'd be demanding someone significantly to the right of you.

164 I check my e mail and there's the weekly newsletter from the VA. Big announcement about COLA. All it says is Congress passed the same thing they pass every year allowing VA COLA to be the same as Social Security. Included in the article was some knob slobbering, how the bi partisan congress passed it and Joe Biden signed it into law because Joe Biden cares and he's a loving father and every VA HQ employee would vote for him twice.

--

I saw a news article a day or so ago that was similar. Biden signed a law giving billions so rural communities can get high speed internet hooray three cheers for Biden. You read it and you discover this:

"On Monday, President Biden announced a 42.4 billion dollar investment into nationwide broadband expansion, and 1.5 million dollars are going to North Carolina.

“Delivering fiber certainly is an expensive proposition, about $30,000 per mile,” Cherry said... "

https://tinyurl.com/2cnof9bc

$1.5M / $30K = 50

50 miles of fiber for all of rural NC. That's not even one county.

178 Social security is a Ponzi scheme except it does not collapse into a shambles at the end. The Social Security trustees report projects the notional trust will be exhausted sometime in the early 2030s and explains that, when that happens, the program's benefits will be cut so that the benefits paid will align with the taxes being received. The projection is that benefits will be cut about 25% as a result.

As bad as that is that is pretty common stuff by DC standards. I doubt there is a politician in DC who hasn't taken substantial favors from moneyed interests to advance their causes.

But what Joe was doing when he became VP was different. He was acting on the orders of the CCP to effect US policy decisions. And he was being assisted by elements in the FBI.

A father who ignored his son's obvious, life-long addition to drugs and placed him in meeting with corrupt, foreign officials who can (and surely did) specialize in using a person's weaknesses and secrets against them.

A father who has only ever expressed love and pride in his *other* son, Beau.

This can be done. None of these Cabinets are mentioned in the US Constitution. Education should be the easiest, then Commerce. You can keep the IRS but just delegate the State's to actually collect the taxes and send them to DC. Energy would be easily folded under DoD since its pretty important to maintain oversight on nuclear stuff. The rest of energy should be delegated to the states.

234 The same NeverTrump, wine moms and metrosexuals who found excuses to not vote for Trump will 100% find any number of excuses to not vote for any Republicans again in 2024.

It's absolutely insane to think they were honest in their reasons.

And insanity squared to think we can run some magical "quality" candidate who will win them back; buy them back.

Paying ransom to an enemy (by conceding their excuses are valid) will not make them an ally-- it only confirms they have power over you.

This can be done. None of these Cabinets are mentioned in the US Constitution. Education should be the easiest, then Commerce. You can keep the IRS but just delegate the State's to actually collect the taxes and send them to DC. Energy would be easily folded under DoD since its pretty important to maintain oversight on nuclear stuff. The rest of energy should be delegated to the states.

In one of his first moves in office Blinken put sanctions on the stridently anti-communist and anti-Soros politicians in Albania, effectively removing him from the political picture and allowed the corrupt socialist and Soros ally Edi Rama to consolidate power.

Rama is also a supporter of the CEFC and their Belt and Road deals. And his administration was the one paying Charles McGonigal, the corrupt FBI agent who was indicted earlier this year for taking bribes. Dorian Ducka, who works for Rama as an investment advisor, also was on the CEFC payroll and he was the guy paying McGonigal.

There are a lot of people in DC who never want the details of this stuff seeing the light of day.

282 >>"The study looked at nearly 3,800 transgender people over 40 years."

Seem to recall a national suicide prevention organization did a comprehensive study on transgender suicide ~5 years ago and it was all there to see. The suicide rate ranged 38%-42% with variances based FtoM or MtoF as well as when the person has not told anyone about trans identity/told close friends and family only/living openly as opposite sex (the latter one having the highest suicide rate).

It is disgusting that they try to blame this on society/people who don't accept them when there are clearly other factors that would make the entire demographic so depressed and suicidal.

318 Why Isn’t Biden More Popular? “This is a key point that has to do with a core difference between liberals and conservatives. Liberals have a list of 50 things they want government to do, and they want those things done fast and to completion. Conservatives have a list of about two things they want government to do: Cut taxes, and punish people they disapprove of morally. For a presidential administration, satisfying that first group is a lot harder than satisfying the second.”

“So people will complain. That’s fine and proper for, say, The New Republic; where I see Biden falling short, I’ll say so, and my colleagues whose views are different from mine will make their criticisms as well. That’s the role of the press.”

“But the role of Democrats is different. They need to understand: Joe Biden is going to be the nominee (barring of course some major health issue in the next few months). He’s the most accomplished president since Lyndon Johnson, and without the immoral war.

Obama can claim he knew nothing, saw nothing, but I find it hard to believe the FBI and CIA didn't know what Joe was doing, or knew and didn't tell ValJar or Obama.

367 Good morning, all, and thank you, J.J. A tale as old as time. Reread a 2012 Vanity Fair article, "Two Sons, One Destiny" by Cari Beauchamp. A story of a father's love and, imho depending on one's viewpoints, a cautionary political tale.

Re: Joe Kennedy, Jr. - "The boy was sent to the University of London to “get an appreciation of tremendous problems facing the world,” under the formal tutelage of socialist professor Harold Laski. A Jewish leftist may have seemed a strange choice of mentor for Joe junior, given the fact his father was a capitalist and an anti-Semite, but Joe senior wanted his son exposed to all ways of thinking so as to hone his own."

When Joe junior went to Munich in 1934, the then 18-year-old had written his father a three-page letter on his “findings” that today sends shivers down one's spine. He reported that “Hitler is building a spirit in his men that would be envied in any country.... This spirit would very quickly be turned into a war spirit, but Hitler has things well under control. ... (Hitler) “saw the need of a common enemy.... Someone, by whose riddance, the Germans would feel that they had cast out the cause of their predicament."
