The Morning Report — 6/30/23

Good morning kids. Well, this accursed year is half over as we are yet again on the cusp of celebrating Independence Day, or for me lighting a memorial candle for a deceased nation. If the footage of Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants, the history making "president" who garnered a record-breaking 82 million votes (from about 8,200 actual voters) walking off the set of MSNBC before finishing an interview doesn't by itself convince you that we're dead (to be charitable, I could say that even he had enough of the rancid stench emanating from Nicole Wallace), the fact that we're celebrating a SCOTUS decision that finally bans what can only be described as mirror universe Jim Crow, a heinous blatantly anti-constitutional practice that should have never been instituted in the first place surely does. Yet what's worse by orders of magnitude, and only underscores my assertion that we live in a zombie republic is the rabid, foaming at the mouth, horribly racialist rage against this decision by an alarmingly large portion of our society.

In a rather ironic twist, the decision came down the same day that Christine King Farris, the last living sibling of Martin Luther King Jr., passed away at the age of 95. All things considered, that can be interpreted as either a good omen (not her death!) or a harbinger of darker days yet to come. By any honest standards of clear, unambiguous logic, morality and just law, affirmative action was, is and always will be absolutely wrong, regardless of what it was pimped as, and for sure what its actual intention by those who pimped it is.

It is bad enough to redress an historical wrong by imposing the very same wrong on another segment of society. But add to it the fact that for the past 60 years, the intentional dumbing down, anti-acculturation into the mainstream and political enslavement of "communities of color" to use the left's vomit-inducing term by the Democrat-Left has created a vast underclass of people who lack even the most basic educational and interpersonal skills to even begin to compete in higher ed and ultimately the job market.

It's not white supremacy that kept black American youth down. It was Leftist supremacy by a Rainbow Coalition if you will of race hustlers all along that was the culprit. So, you deny entry to qualified students based on their merit and in return give their seats to truly underperforming and unprepared minority students. And when they fail and drop out, you don't reexamine and reflect on the policy that made them fail, you simply lower the standards – repeatedly – until they do "succeed." And blame white supremacy and institutional racism for the ones whom even the most wafer thin of phony degrees can't be manufactured.

Munchausen's by Progressivism, ladies and gents. Except all the progressives ever did and ever do is institute policies that make the situation a thousand times worse than if they hadn't. Can individual people be racist? Of course. Can groups of these individuals band together and cause quite a bit of pain and suffering? Ever hear of the Dixiecrats? But 60 years after Republicans finally succeeded in passing the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (extremely flawed as it was, but that is for another time), after creating the most massive welfare state in existence and spending upwards of $25 TRILLION dollars on programs supposedly designed to uplift black America and end racial discrimination, America is still institutionally racist and white supremacist?

How can that be? How can that possibly be? Spoiler alert: it can't. But if I'm wrong, please explain how Barack Obama gets elected to the presidency. Twice. Or how Oprah Winfrey becomes a multi-billionaire. Either their playing Steppin Fetchit for whitey or institutional racism is a myth.

What it does illustrate is the abject failure of government to solve a societal ill. Not that there was an ill that needed to be solved in the first place. After the Second World War, the black American family was intact and on the verge of entering the mainstream all by itself. Naturally, elements of society led primarily by Democrats resisted. Violently at times. But the writing was on the wall. And so when LBJ quipped after the passage of the Great Society that the "nig*ers will be voting for us for the next 200 years" he wasn't kidding.

I'm going off on tangents but the salient point here can be illustrated by comparing and contrasting both the horrendous, vapid, chock-full-o-bullshit screed from this Kentanji Brown "25" Jackson and the absolute evisceration of same by Justice Clarence Thomas, arguably the greatest jurist this nation has produced in half a century. Beyond their words, the comparison of their life stories is another perfect illustration of why "affirmative action" is a complete abomination in the first place.

Jackson offered more than 9,000 overwrought words of leftist social commentary, “expound[ing] upon the universal benefits of considering race in this context.” Her embrace of identitarianism and defense of Asian-American discrimination is jarring. Jackson believes state-funded institutions should judge Americans by their immutable characteristics and historical sins rather than their individual accomplishments and actions. It’s really that simple.

“With let-them-eat-cake obliviousness, today, the majority pulls the ripcord and announces ‘colorblindness for all’ by legal fiat,” Jackson’s sarcastically noted. I dunno; colorblindness seems like a worthy ambition. But the Supreme Court didn’t institute “colorblindness for all.” It could no more do that than stop justices from mixing their metaphors. What it did was reaffirm colorblindness as a matter of law. On this topic, the Fourteenth Amendment and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is clear:

No person in the United States shall, on the ground of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.

The Civil Rights Act does not make exceptions for disadvantaged groups, “lived experiences,” or race — quite the opposite. Using Jackson’s logic, any institution could adopt any racial preferences they wanted. As long as there was some emotional argument for it. Though, in fairness, there isn’t much logic to be had in progressive Calvinlaw.

Moreover, as Jackson surely knows, the Supreme Court exists to use “legal fiat” to uphold the Constitution. Every opinion that Jackson has been on the majority has used this approach.

Justice Thomas cuts like a Mossad Joo laser shark:

JUSTICE JACKSON would replace the second Founders’ vision with an organizing principle based on race. In fact, on her view, almost all of life’s outcomes may be unhesitatingly ascribed to race. …

This lore is not and has never been true. Even in the segregated South where I grew up, individuals were not the sum of their skin color. Then as now, not all disparities are based on race; not all people are racist; and not all differences between individuals are ascribable to race. … Worse still, JUSTICE JACKSON uses her broad observations about statistical relationships between race and select measures of health, wealth, and well-being to label all blacks as victims. Her desire to do so is unfathomable to me. I cannot deny the great accomplishments of black Americans, including those who succeeded despite long odds.

JUSTICE JACKSON then builds from her faulty premise to call for action, arguing that courts should defer to “experts” and allow institutions to discriminate on the basis of race. Make no mistake: Her dissent is not a vanguard of the innnocent and helpless. It is instead a call to empower privileged elites, who will “tell us [what] is required to level the playing field” among castes and classifications that they alone can divine. … Then, after siloing us all into racial castes and pitting those castes against each other, the dissent somehow believes that we will be able—at some undefined point—to “march forward together” into some utopian vision. … Social movements that invoke these sorts of rallying cries, historically, have ended disastrously.
Unsurprisingly, this tried-and-failed system defies both law and reason.

It's pure poetry for those who have eyes to read and mind to process it. As I said earlier, the life stories of these two individuals and how they got to where they got on that bench could not be more of a contrast of opposites. In any case, it's funny how Brown 25 has absolutely no clue as to what a woman is ("I'm not a biologist") yet here she is bloviating about race as if she is the Oracle of Delphi on the subject.

Clarence Thomas on the other hand, raised by his grandfather and who felt the sting of racism in the Democrat south, who went on to for a brief time embrace radical Marxism and then ultimately the Constitution literally overcame all of the hardships, obstacles and bullshit that life can hurl at anyone at any time all by himself. "That's a storybook, man" as Joey once said of Obama, after calling him "clean and articulate" and who can speak jive whenever he wants to.

Meanwhile, in another part of the forest, we still have to contend with this:

Democratic Wisconsin state Sen. LaTonya Johnson said “fuck the suburbs” Thursday during a Senate floor speech addressing a proposal for more policing.

The state assembly passed a $99 billion budget plan to cut taxes by $3.5 billion and increase funding for certain programs, according to The Associated Press (The AP). LaTonya said the suburbs “don’t know a goddamn thing” about city life.

“Fuck the suburbs because they don’t know a goddamn thing about how life is in the city,” Johnson said.

But wait! There's more!

Several attendees at the California Department of Justice’s final Reparations Task Force meeting created a scene during the public comment section of the event Thursday, demanding reparations from the board.

Several excited California residents took advantage of their opportunity to address the board directly, yelling into the mic that the time for reparations is “now!” 

One encouraged the crowd to raise their fists and chant their desires for restitution, while another stood up and screamed for a “divorce” settlement between Black Americans and the rest of the country. 

The Reparations Task Force meeting this week represented the final one in a series of public events facilitating discussions between California residents and state officials about establishing potential restitution for perceived inequality between African Americans and the rest of America stemming from slavery and centuries of discrimination. . .

. . . The meeting sparked with the second speaker, a Black man named Reggie Romaine, who claimed that what the board had recommended in payments is not enough.

He suggested that African Americans get half the country after divorcing from the rest of America. 

He began by saying, “This reparations task force, I appreciate y’all. But you all opened up a whole can of worms. I’m going to tell you this. Reparations is about repair. To me, I qualify. I’m going to tell you how you repair this.”

“First of all America, from the evidence that they gave us, you’re guilty,” he said. “In 1619 we were eating fool food! You kidnapped us! Put a hate crime on us! That’s the first one. Now you came here with all the other atrocities. When you brought us here, you raped our men, women, and kids. So, therefore, you married us!”

“Don’t treat us like no cheap piece of meat!” he exclaimed, before pushing for a national divorce. “So, therefore, our last name’s ‘American!’ So now’s the time for a divorce! What do you get in divorce? You get half the money, half the land, alimony, child support, attorney fees, and everything else! So that’s what we want!”

The speaker then plugged his website along with something he dubbed the “1619 Party,” which he described as a sort of independent political platform built around providing reparations for African Americans nationwide.

I don't think we need Barbara Billingsley or subtitles to translate that, do we?

Thank you, Democrats! Look at all the peace, love and understanding and unity that you've brought to the nation! By the way, they opened by thanking GAVIN NEWSOM for moving this thing forward.

If ever there was an example of white supremacy . . .

Have a good weekend.

16 As predicted, the University leadership where I work released a statement about yesterday's decision.

They announced that they will abide by the Supreme Court's decision. They also announced that the State Attorney General issued a cease and desist order about race-based practices, so I think he's going to be watching us closely.

Some programs and scholarships base on race that are in progress will be "grandfathered" in (i.e., continue to operate for this cycle because they were legal at the time the benefits were administered), but will not continue into the next cycle.

I hope it's just some temporary technical thing and closing the popup or getting direct access again happens.

Yup. If it weren't, we wouldn't have disparate outcomes. The only just world is a flatly equitable world where everyone is the same*. Any deviation from that ideal state is because of white supremacism.

Of course they do.

People in the suburbs and rural areas understand city life and city dwellers MUCH better than the other way around. City dwellers are massively ignorant of real life, which is why they're so susceptible to believing things like "the earth is overpopulated" or "using energy to recycle sand makes sense" or "it's crucial to reduce the use of trees that are grown on tree farms and sold for the specific purpose of creating paper products"

No, your fellow Africans kidnapped your ancestors and sold them into slavery both to other Africans and to Europeans who got in on the trade.

Slavery is a blight on human history, but this is so profoundly wrong on every level that people should laugh in his face.

And "I raped you, so you're my wife now" isn't really the way things work...

107 Wax’s inconvenient truth that perhaps trumped all others, however, was her assertion in class that her experience was that most black Penn Law students graduated below the average of their peers. Wax apparently said, “I don’t think I’ve ever seen a black student graduate in the top quarter of the class, and, rarely, in the top half.” The dean of the school asserted, “These claims are false.” Wax’s statement was viewed as wrong, outrageous, insensitive, hurtful, and insulting to a significant number of students — as protests duly demonstrated.
Interestingly, Penn has not provided Wax or her lawyer with detailed empirical data to confirm the dean’s claim that Wax’s assertion was incorrect.

121 >>Thus, the following question needs to be asked. Why would a Muslim leader follow radical leftist ideology when it goes against Muslim teachings? After all, Muslims are strongly protesting against the radical LGBT/Gender ideology being forced on their children in schools.

There's an easy explanation for Saddiq Khan and Ilhan Omar's wokeness: Muruna (https://tinyurl.com/5n8s7ppu)
Muruna allows Muslims to sow division and confusion in the Western world. . . Muruna was designed to catapult and advance Sharia by using Western means. If one thinks that Sharia, with its harsh code, is problematic enough, how about the elimination of the kinder, gentler laws? Muruna is literally accomplished by permitting behavior normally so eschewed by Sharia that Westerners logically assume a more moderate version of Islam when such prohibitions are suddenly permitted. Westerners’ eyes are, in fact, deceiving them. Muruna is about going to great lengths to gain interests through a much deeper level of deception while simultaneously lowering the guard and gaining the support of the infidels.

123 Again, slavery is not unique to America, it also was imposed on America before America was America, it was controversial at the founding, and was constrained from the beginning, it lasted for roughly 80 years after the founding and of particular note, black people did not free themselves, they were freed at a great expense of blood and treasure by white people and looking at the vast arc of history and how thorny, seemingly intractable issues are handled, there should be a great deal of gratitude for what was done.

And the final thought on this is that the vast overwhelming majority of people who currently reside in The Former United States of America, literally have no connection to slavery.

134 I remember when Obama became very agitated that someone called him an ideologue, and then he used a liberal weltanschauung to explain why he was not. Think of a whole generation who has now grown up on that frail pile of fallacy, where material facts, real outcomes and verifiable certainties no longer matter. Dogma is king, and the media along with all the other liberal auspices nod their heads to enforce the casuistry. These are not reasonable people, whether in the media, judiciary or government, and a fair degree of them no longer care if you know. They hide behind the very thin veneer of things like their academic credentials, which at one time meant something, to preach their apostasy and undertake their subversions.

Some of the worst people in history have followed the path of ideology at all costs and in the process trampled the truth- which in the end is all that matters. These liberals are no different and will brook no dissent or disagreement with their worldview- which they've now labeled as insurrection or punishable by their kangaroo courts.

It's already begun here (just ask an arms store that used to bank with BofA) and it will only get worse.

This is one of the things that I worry about with regard to the nascent commercial real estate crisis. As the commercial property owners start failing, the banks holding the loans are going to take it right up the pooper. Most of those banks are midsize to large regional banks and there is a strong risk of failure. When they get into trouble, the feds and the Fed will run the standard playbook of backstopping some or all of the debt and selling the banks at favorable rates to the Big Five.

The Big Five - all bad actors who are deeply embedded in the Party - are going to get a lot bigger as a lot of regional banks start to fail and forcibly consolidated into them. This will have profound consequences on credit availability for SMEs, for investment in non-urban/non-coastal America and for competition. And they can enforce any openly political policy with much more efficacy.

179 @158 Joe Mannix , the justices do criticize each other in dissents and concurrences, but it usually involves a view of a constitutional issue or of a fact that has been overlooked. Thomas criticism of Jackson probably seemed harsh because her dissent was so stupid from a legal standpoint.

I think what makes Thomas and his rulings so unique is the unexpected nature of them. Thomas is the ideal representative of what we all want, a color blind society where someone can rise on the strength of their character and ideas and given our failing society not enough pursue that path. He shouldn't be an anomaly but sadly he is and that's why I find him so refreshing.

Though several days ago, looked back at the official White House guest list by The President & Dr. Biden for His Excellency Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of the Republic of India (Had no idea India is also a Republic!)
Forget about the family clan in attendance, the Schumers, Pelosis, McCarthys, etc & their assorted "dates."

Guest at state dinners are always fascinating but, for example ...The Honorable Robert Menendez, U.S. Senator, NJ; Sam Altman (Chat GPT King) & Oliver Mulherin; Ms. Ashley Biden & Ms. Seema Sadanandan, Criminal Justice Director at ACLU of the Nation's Capitol, & "seasoned campaign strategist." Huma Abedin; Michael Cohen; Anne Wojcicki (23 & me) and Ester Wojcicki (educator); Charles Phillips (Oracle); Adena Friedman, Pres. of NASDAQ.

219 In Le Corbusier’s planned cities, people would live in mass-produced inexpensive housing organized into towers that covered only 15 percent of the ground, the rest left for green space full of sports facilities and parks. The towers would be cross-shaped in order to maximize the number of windows and amount of natural light.

The US tore down more Big Govt housing in the 1970s and 80s than was built from 1776.

Even though many employers don’t use the word affirmative action, it’s rampant today, from ESG, to focuses on equity, pretty much everywhere, there’s a ton of pressure at the corporate 100 across corporate America to take race-conscious decision-making — race-conscious actions in employment law, and that’s been illegal and it’s still illegal.”

233 It's looking like NASCAR fans are saying "fuck the cities."

Chicago downtown hotels are moaning about the very low booking rates for this weekend's lakefront NASCAR first-ever "street race," being held on just about the same real estate on which Daley's cops beat up anti-war protesters in 1968.

Local TV station WGN had on their segment about this, last night, three Chicagoans who were saying positive things about the race. The Babylon Bee must have done the casting.

First up was a dweeb who looked like a Starbucks barista. Next up was some straight-arrow elitist who probably is a DEI dean at Northwestern, and the last looked like Whoopie Goldberg's brother, same beaded dread braids.

No one was asking any fans from, say, Mooresville, NC, how they'd like to attend and hang out after, in the loop in the dark, with all those well-armed Lori Lightfoot voters.

Realistically, they probably don't need account registrations for that. Twitter knows what you look at on Twitter.

299 Twatter comment from a guy named Kishavan Bhola


> Three generations ago my family were indentured servants in Trinidad. I grew up with a single mother who never received child support and who worked as a cashier. Paying for AP exams in high school was a struggle. I am probably one of the least privileged people to ever work at Google Brain.

> Yet because of my Indian ethnicity, I was always considered “overrepresented” by the system.

Posted by: Rodrigo Borgia at June 30, 2023 09:16 AM (Y6AXb)

300 Slave conditions always varied on a variety of factors. The romans never really looked at slaves as subhuman, it was more a kind of class distinction than anything else. But they never denied the essential humanity of their slaves (and they had a lot of all sorts of races, nationalities, including many, many Romans.) Indeed, iirc, it was legal up until a point in the Antonine dynasty for fathers to sell their children into slavery to pay debts.

Supply. This really drove a lot of changes in the Roman treatment of slaves as time marched on. Once they stopped the large number and size of territorial expansion, the number of slaves started to drop (due to the Roman custom of a guy on his deathbed- or other great occasion weddings, births, etc- freeing his slaves- and the more he freed, the greater he was seen. They actually had to limit the number that could be freed at once as the numbers were dropping too much. And as the numbers dropped (and access to more was limited) the treatment of those slaves was improved.

304 I'd take the bet against Gorsuch.

Gerard Lynch is a slightly left of center judge on the 2nd Circuit and arguably the smartest jurist in the land. He wrote an opinion that said that the employment sections of Civil Rights Act of 1964 didn't extend to LGBTQ workers because Congress couldn't have intended it at the time of adoption. "sex" was a binary term at the time and it meant man/woman.

Gorsuch praised Lynch's reasoning -- that Congress couldn't have intended that "sex" could include "sexual orientation" but gave the Left what it wanted. He's another Souter.

“because of [an employee’s] race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.”

305 NASCAR, like Disney is in it for the woke $$. The management has devolved from a family run entity to a C-suite run empire. NASCAR either owns outright, or has the TV rights to most of the 4 wheel motor sport divisions in the US. They, and the cable/TV broadcasters focus on the minority drivers like Bubba Wallace or any/all of the half dozen female drivers (who are doing about as well as you'd expect.)

321 America is rapidly bifurcating — becoming two nations — and one of the main drivers of the process is a federal system that encourages Red states to mooch off Blue states, using essentially stolen tax money to reinvent the old Confederacy, “own the libs,” and wage “war on woke.”

Red states have become oligarchic white supremacist medieval-like fiefdoms with obscene levels of often multigenerational wealth at the top, extreme poverty at the bottom, and working people, women, and minorities kept in subordinate roles through explicit government and corporate policy.

On the other hand, Blue states have embraced 21st century values of inclusiveness, tolerance, education, healthcare, a clean environment, worker’s rights, higher minimum wages and unionization, gun safety, paid sick leave, and are working to override the electoral college to bring democracy to the race for president.

366 Now the batteries in e-bikes are catching fire and burning building down.

Ok, downsides of an electric motorcycle:

1) Cannot sit on bike and rev the engine, only make the 'vroom-vroom' sound.

2) The lack of vibration would be... odd.

3) Plus, women have a tendency to like the circumstances outlined in step 2.

367 >>They are pretty much the worst. Four people killed just the other day in NYC which is ground zero in the US for that problem.

Imagine the WEF future, where we all live in 15 minute cities, in highrises where one ebike stored in a 300SF pen apartment on the 22nd floor catches fire and kills hundreds, even thousands. . .

368 Wouldn't you need foam for lithium fires?

Heh. I'm old enough to remember Halon Gas for computer mainframe rooms (which has since been banned and replaced with something else).

369 U.S. flies nuke=capable bombers to the Korean Peninsula in latest show of force against North Korea.

I assume "flew over Southern air space or nearby waters" is meant and not the whole peninsula!

Can you at least still put a playing card in the wheel spokes?

I think the only way to put out an EV fire quickly is to pick the vehicle up and drop it into a water filled dumpster. Then wait about six hours.

372 Did Greta and Pence get together in Ukraine?

If they did, per the Pence Rule, the door remained open….

a federal system that encourages Red states to mooch off Blue states

Newsom used to say Red states were mooching off California. Does he say that any more?

>>I guess Weaselzippers is mort?

Yes, this is what can happen when you don't use your own iron and pipe, the people who control the dials and switches can simply switch you off.

376 KuntaKinte Brown Jackson RECUSED herself from hearing this case, because SHE had helped establish the affirmative action program being ruled upon.
Then...writes a 9,000 word "Dissent"? Approximately 36 pages.
Apparently she doesn't understand "Recusal" either.
: to disqualify (oneself) as judge in a particular case
broadly : to remove (oneself) from participation to avoid a conflict of interest.
After acknowledging a conflict of interest, she used her office to write a Political Screed, in her OWN Interests.

377 “Fuck the suburbs because they don’t know a goddamn thing about how life is in the city,” Johnson said.

No, Fuck the city, honey. They live in the suburbs because they know ALL about the city.

378 . . . The meeting sparked with the second speaker, a Black man named Reggie Romaine, who claimed that what the board had recommended in payments is not enough. He suggested that African Americans get half the country after divorcing from the rest of America.

Oh, why stop at half? leftists want it all.

379 AP Claims Canada's Smoke Is Now Racist[/]

Babylon Bee should do a skit on this (if they haven't already) about the smoke color being white meaning the election of a new pope during a papal conclave being racist.

Reference to a scene in The Groove Tube (I think).

381 "How about the Irishman, fresh off the boat, thrust into a Blue Uniform, handed a rifle and sent to a battlefield to die, for a cause he literally had no part creating?"

Interesting associations involved in a major historical event..."Stanley finds Livingston", in the very heart of the worlds largest slave capturing area, a region totally unknown to the outside world, the ONLY thing anyone knew of the headwaters of the Nile and the Congo was caravans of slaves emerging from there carrying Ivory, driven by Arabs. Livingston's Irish son went to America, was immediately "Impressed" into the Union army(captured and enslaved), was wounded in his 1st battle, captured by the Confederacy and died in a POW camp in South Carolina. Livingston didn't hear about it for two years...no contact with the outsidse at all. Stanley...using his adopted name, was an orphaned Welsh urchin, living in a workhouse(child slave labor), that ran off..as a cabin boy on a French ship, landed in New Orleans where a local adopted him. He signed on as a volunteer with the Confederate forces, fought in several battles, switched sides...fought for the Union, later in the Indian Wars, (subjugating the Natives)
