The Morning Report — 7/5/23

blowval0ffice.jpg

Good morning, kids. Hope you all had a nice long holiday break. While we're a bit light on the links as we head back to the work week, several stories are still quite huge in their importance so let's dive right in. First up is one that's about to get buried deeper than Hunter Biden's face in a mound of Oval Office llello or his father's fingers between a 12-year-old girl's thighs.

The rifle-wielding suspect who donned a bulletproof vest before allegedly shooting dead five men and injuring two children in Philadelphia has been identified as a Black Lives Matter supporter who shared gun-toting memes on social media.

Kimbrady Carriker, 40, was nabbed shortly after the bloodshed in the city’s Kingsessing neighborhood Monday night, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported, citing sources. Cops haven’t yet publicly disclosed the suspect’s identity.

On his Facebook page, Carriker posted two pictures of him wearing a bra, a women’s top and earrings with his hair braided long in March, three months before the alleged shooting. He also regularly posts about supporting Black Lives Matter, including supporting workers who protested in the Strike For Black Lives in July 2020.

Police said the 40-year-old male suspect was armed with a rifle, pistol, extra magazines, a police scanner and bullet proof vest when he fatally shot four men on the street and then chased and killed a fifth man inside a home. A 2-year-old boy was shot four times in the legs, while a 13-year-old boy also suffered to gunshot wounds to his legs, according to cops. The gunman had fired at police as they chased him for several blocks before he eventually surrendered in an alley, Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw said. . .

. . . Carriker’s old roommate, Tina Rosette, 49, told the Inquirer she was shocked to learn of his involvement in the shooting. Rosette described Carriker as “really smart, intelligent, creative” and someone who loved computers, but said he had “an aggressive approach to some things in life.” She recalled him teaching young people how to fight “purportedly” in self-defense — but he failed to give them directions on when to stop.

Just as an aside, I find it kind of bizarrely amusing that the broad who's the police commissioner of Philly is named "Outlaw." Considering the current guiding principle in law enforcement comes from the Jagger/Richards lyric of "Every cop is a criminal and all the sinners saints," well, not to cast aspersions but QED.

In any case, given that the melanin content of the shooter likely matches that of the victims, and more importantly, his psychotic delusions of being another Jame Gumb as well as a supporter of the black brownshirts of BLM, no way this story ever gets any kind of real coverage in the propaganda press. Did this Don Lemon dream date blow a fuse prematurely before it had a chance to target whites, Christians and conservatives? Well, we may never know the answer considering the authorities in Tennessee are still treating the manifesto of the psycho-tranny terrorist who gunned down adults and kids at a Nashville Christian school as a state secret even bigger than ULTRA.

Yup. It's all about the narrative, not about the truth. The estimable Robert Spencer, who is on deck for our next podcast, weighs in:

The Biden regime is authoritarian to the core. Like every hard-Left authority in the history of the world, it is intolerant of dissent and determined to stamp out all opposition, not by defeating it at the ballot box, and certainly not by besting it in the court of public opinion, but by forcibly silencing it. But on Tuesday, Judge Terry Doughty, Chief U.S. district judge of the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana, put a massive roadblock in the way of Biden’s handlers’ ongoing efforts to ensure that only their own perspective can be heard in the American public square.

In a landmark ruling in Missouri v. Biden, Doughty struck back hard against what he called “the most massive attack against free speech in United States’ history.” Doughty even began his decision by quoting the most famous adage regarding the importance of the freedom of speech: “I may disapprove of what you say, but I would defend to the death your right to say it,” a statement that is often attributed to Voltaire but which Doughty credits to the early twentieth-century English writer Evelyn Beatrice Hall (whom he mistakenly calls Hill, but that doesn’t detract from the power of his ruling). . .

. . . Specifically, Doughty noted:

Plaintiffs allege that Defendants suppressed conservative-leaning free speech, such as: (1) suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop story prior to the 2020 Presidential election; (2) suppressing speech about the lab-leak theory of COVID-19’s origin; (3) suppressing speech about the efficiency of masks and COVID-19 lockdowns; (4) suppressing speech about the efficiency of COVID-19 vaccines; (5) suppressing speech about election integrity in the 2020 presidential election; (6) suppressing speech about the security of voting by mail; (7) suppressing parody content about Defendants; ( suppressing negative posts about the economy; and (9) suppressing negative posts about [spurious] President Biden.

All that is abundantly true, and there are plenty of other examples of the regime’s hatred of dissent as well. Regime spokesbeings, however, will tell you that all they really want to do is protect poor, ignorant, distracted, gullible Americans from “disinformation.” It became clear when the Biden regime established its ill-fated and quickly disbanded Disinformation Governance Board that it had decided that labeling reports that departed from the officially approved line as “disinformation” was a likely winning strategy, both to circumvent the First Amendment and to hoodwink Americans into thinking that the crushing of dissent was a valuable service. . .

. . . Will the regime fight back? Almost certainly. Will it craft a deceptive, Orwellian, disingenuous, paternalistic argument for censorship based on its claimed responsibility to protect Americans from “disinformation”? That seems likely as well. But the more it fights in cases of this kind, the more its authoritarian nature becomes clear. Will Americans quietly accept the yoke of censorship? We have a history of resisting tyranny.

Well, we used to have a history of resisting tyranny. In any case we now are facing perhaps the most formidable tyranny in our now concluded history: our own government as well as powerful allies within the pseudo private sector and worst of all, a large chunk of our fellow citizens.

For sure, as Mr. Spencer notes, it is indeed a huge victory. But what do these court victories really mean when those who were dealt the defeat not only refuse to recognize it as such but actively work to subvert the ruling? Worse, when those charged with enforcing and upholding the ruling refuse to do their duty to enforce it?

Remember that it is an absolute Leftist article of faith that the Supreme Court, or any court for that matter, that issues or upholds a law or regulation that advances their cause is sacrosanct for all time and must be respected so as to preserve "our precious democracy" (*vomits*). Conversely, in the rare event that the opposite occurs, the courts and judges are committing acts of treason. That is their excuse to ignore or subvert these rulings since Leftists and Leftists alone are the sole arbiters of what is truth, justice and the American way. So they have their conscience, such as it is, to guide them, focused solely on the righteousness of their convictions. It's much better as three words on a belt buckle in the original German: Gott Mit Uns

Just to illustrate the point:

What fresh leftist lunacy is this, coming up at us on the Fourth of July?

According to Cristina Laila at GatewayPundit:

An Obama-appointed federal judge on Monday issued a preliminary injunction against Florida’s election law that imposed limitations on third-party voter registration organizations. In May Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) signed SB 7020, a law that barred non-citizens from handling or collecting voter registration forms. One of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit is an immigrant from El Salvador who works for “Mi Vecino,” a third party voter registration organization.

US District Judge Mark Walker said the election law banning non-citizens from handling voter registration forms is unconstitutional.

What, exactly, is "unconstitutional" about not letting foreign nationals participate in our elections, including the vital task of collecting voter registrations from, presumably, citizens?

So aliens, including illegal aliens, are now equal-protection matters, and if an alien can't collect registrations, or, for that matter, vote, he's being discriminated against by all those dirty racists who happen to be U.S. citizens?  Illegals, of course, are great ones for knowing where all the valid U.S. citizens are in this game, aren't they?  And realistically, are they going to know a whole lot of potentially valid voters, or might they have an inherent interest in registering people just like themselves with their special interests, who are either foreign non-citizens here legally or foreign illegals?

The second part of that initial claim is even more disturbing.  Apparently, the foreigners have been collecting data off the new voter registrations that they are gathering and turning in beforehand — and doing something with those data, whether a voter likes it or not.

The data collected could be used to sell lists to Democrat candidates for their mailed campaign literature, perhaps, or to pressure voters over the phone, and, if these groups are really partisan, to simply give away to those Democrat candidates, which negates the nonpartisan purpose of doing voter registrations.  What do they do with a newly registered voter who doesn't register Democrat?  Do they throw that registration away?  Nobody's asking that one.  Bottom line here is, who knew that these groups were getting a little slice for themselves as they claimed to be selflessly civic-minded groups out registering voters for "democracy"?

. . . Besides registering voters, the ruling could also be applied to ballot-harvesting, which is increasingly common in the States in this age of low-confidence elections.  We already know that illegals are blithely harvesting ballots in California as their way of proxy-voting. . . That makes me think this temporary injunction, which the judge says is not his final ruling, will come to naught.  Not from him, of course — it's obvious enough how he's going to rule unless he gets some signal from the Democrats to forego a coming bad ruling.

If you go back 50 years, at least William Brennan's bizarro "penumbras and emanations" about some sort of inherent right to privacy in the Constitution that appears nowhere in that document nor in the collected writings of its authors at least made mention of them when crafting his raison d'être for legalizing baby-killing in all 50 states. Nowadays, judges and justices don't even do that anymore. See the vomit-on-paper of a dissent to the affirmative action ruling by Kentanji Brown-25 as an example.

As for this Florida ruling, if these fools want to play with fire then let's give them some gasoline. Governor Ron DeSantis should immediately issue a communiqué that as chief executive of that state, the judge's ruling is declared null and void. Of course, that's not going to happen since we play by the rules. Even if the rules are Calvinball.

At some point, that's just not going to cut the mustard.

I have a sneaky suspicion that Ukraine is the epicenter of child porn, gay adoption, child molestation and abuse. Which is why it needs to be defended so vigorously - in the eyes of the left.

It was only when Russia cut off the adoption pipeline to the US gay community that they became so evil. Overnight.

31 Global organizations of all types, the UN, the WEF, the WHO, and most large businesses, each have interests far different than our own national interest. Big Tech is their ruler, and the Propaganda Press is their handmaiden.

Since these organizations can't get elected, since every sane person resists their agenda, they need to promote top-down authoritarianism of any and every kind, and they don't much care what the underlying 20th century ideology might be, so long as authoritarian government is the outcome.

If Robert Spencer that MiniTrue has actually been "disbanded," then I don't know what to say. Sure, the DGB itself has been abandoned and its selected chieftan has melted back into the Complex (much to her chagrin, I'm sure), but the functions of that Board are not gone and not abandoned. Their effort to formalize the whole affair as a part of a DHS power play failed in part due to popular outrage (though in greater part, if I had to guess, because DoJ or CIA wasn't too happy with DHS rising above its raising and trying to grab it all), but that game is *not* over and there is no way the government actually said, "gee whiz. It was a good try, but I guess we can't do that."

That is their excuse to ignore or subvert these rulings since Leftists and Leftists alone are the sole arbiters of what is truth, justice and the American way.

When they own the Court, its rulings are holy writs that must not be questioned. When they do not own the Court, its rulings are subversive trash that must be disregarded.

The rules of power are fairly simple.

I remember when Michelle Obama was making a big deal about how National Parks needed to be less white, as if these were a secret held from non-white people.

How about instead of fanning the flames of race hatred, they instead inform new hikers of any race about the risks of the activity, such as: getting lost, bad weather conditions, interactions with predators/poisonous plants, etc.?

77 Is the Biden regime unique, or are we at a new time in American history where the public has access to information and can quickly share it?

For instance, had the trannies shot up everything in 1950, would you actually know anything more than they wanted you to know about, if even at all?

You had a couple of television stations and a local newspaper that likely didn't even tell you in Bucksnort, Arkansas about what was going on in Nashville, Tennessee.

Was the flow of info limited then (and perhaps controlled just as is being attempting now) by the PTB? I don't know.

But I'll tell what the censorship of individuals and the constant narrative droning of the MSM has done for me, and it isn't just that I have lost all faith in the media in current times. I now heavily question the narratives of the past.

What makes me think they weren't just boldly lying to the faces of Americans all throughout history? What makes me think the schools weren't delivering the narratives then, as they are now?

108 Censorship...

- The Missouri vs. junta thing will likely be ignored by the administration regardless how it pans out. They've demonstrated that the so called "rule of law" doesn't apply to them when it fails to suit their agenda. So, kudos to the judge for what he's trying to do, but it's a lost cause.

- The MiniTrue that was once headed by Nina Jankowicz was disbanded in August 2022. I do believe the mission of that entity was transferred to the media, both social and MSM with FedGov providing oversight. It's what the Missouri vs. junta thing is about.

I think FedGov can play some games with this and likely come out on top. Even if they decide to go so far as to nationalize the tech companies and the media in general.

I will never understand the flatly racist "black folks don't like the outdoors" narrative. Most American blacks are heavily urban and yeah, many of them are uncomfortable with wildnerness.

Hey, maybe consider helping the poor terrified bastards work over their fear of something that is a non-problem. Or stop teaching them that it's something that people should be afraid of in the first place.

Gosh, imagine if a white person were afraid to go to downtown or to a basketball game because he might encounter someone who held prejudices against him because of his skin color.

Problem with that is nary a soul lived in the Rio Grande Valley until the 1910s. Prior to that was Fort Brown, which led to the establishment of Brownsville. But aside from a fort? Nothing and no one.

176 Looks like the Asian makers, who already have to "inventory," see an advantage in having that inventory on Lowe's and Home Depot's sales floor.

I'm almost over waiting for a KitchenAid, which, as far as one can tell with the information we are allowed, was made in what used to be called the Amana plant. Maybe.

Published in 2019, ‘The Future of Urban Consumption in a 1.5°C World’ report funded by the WEF, sets out extreme targets for governments around the globe to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, as consistent with the 2015 Paris Agreement ambitions.

Or they take those tax revenues and give them to Elon Musk to build battery cars. Or they give them to billionaire bankers that are too big to fail.

If you're in a midsized or larger market, call your local major independent appliance dealer chain and ask them if they have an outlet store. I've had *very* good luck doing that. The major dealers often have an outlet for scratch-and-dent, overstock, returns, etc. for the manufacturers they sell. The outlet is all stock-on-hand and they usually deliver.

At least, down here in the States. I don't know if it works that way in Canada. When I bought my house, I needed all the appliances except the stove, and we were thick in the COVID stupids with obscene lead times for appliances. I got everything in my house from the local major Whirlpool/Maytag/Kitchen-Aid dealer's warehouse store. It's an hour out of town, but they had stock of everything and could deliver it quickly.

I would think that being a meteorologist in Texas would parallel the work of a school teacher. Once a high pressure dome sets over the state for the majority of the summer, the forecast is always the same.

What I love about the El Niño Climate Scare is that no one has any idea of how strong the ENSO cycle will be or when it will be in place. Every local weather prediction w/r/t the its effects are pure speculation - so they have to sensationalize it because much of it is wishful thinking, the other is boredom because it is summer.

Respectfully, "White (line) House" might be catchier.

And they didn't have control of this one, I don't think. From some of the coverage I read, some of the reporting seemed to be based off of listening to police scanners. The cops arrived, tested the substance, and they communicated it to each other.

That might be poor operational procedure when outside agencies are involved, but the junta itself was probably surprised that the details got out.

Watched the JP interview which motivated 7gal and me to see the movie. There was an epilogue (stay for it) and the data on pedophile porn and child rape in this country is shameful. The fact that the Hollywood corporatists would not distribute the movie (surprisingly well done and made five years ago) confirms for many here a lot about the evil and destructive nature of corporate media. The fact that our government allows over 85,000 unescorted minors across the border while ceding border control to the cartels, in my mind, implicates the feds as a purveyor in this evil trade. See the movie even if you’re reluctant to do so.

253 Individual property ownership in White World is a historically recent concept.

Huffed-up puffed-up White Bro advocates like to make out that they were the Arrival of The Gods. In most cases, they were fleeing, or survivors of, their own genocides, in Europe's tribal lands.

Ben and Jerry (Cohen and Greenfield) are descended from a diaspora, genocided out of their tribal homeland by Rome and its predecessors, and allowed to live here or there in or near Europe at the whim of some chieftain who often had a bad Easter attitude.

They sold out to the Dutch, Unilever. You don't even want to get into the tribal history of the low countries, but I expect Charlton Heston in "The War Lord" would be a fair start.

I went to my town's Independence Day fireworks for the first time. It's held at the big park in the middle of town. Mostly families (some groups of high school aged kids). Very pleasant. Cops were around to direct traffic, but they didn't seem to be needed to keep order. Those in the park were mostly families, those in the surrounding parking lots were mostly couples who were just off-site so they could have a couple of beers during the show. Almost no trash left behind, and folks picked up what litter they saw as they walked back to the car.

Overall, a very wholesome experience.

On the upside-

My experiment with the Blueberry/Chipotle BBQ sauce on the ribs yesterday worked out really well.

The ribs were delicious and fruity without the blueberry flavor being overwhelming. Just a nice enhancement of the baby backs natural flavor. Plus, a bit of spice, a bit of sweet, a bit of tart. Yummy stuff.

And I cheated a bit on the recipe which made making the sauce super easy, barely an inconvenience.

Anyway- a nice $th of July Feast all the way around.

well, before there was a United States, there was a Continental Congress, and it managed to raise an army and defeat the pre-eminent military power in the world at that time. Of course, that Congress was comprised of decent God-fearing men of principle, which is not the case today.

274 > After conquering the Cheyenne in 1776, the Lakota took the territory of the Black Hills

There's a reason one of their neighboring tribes gave the Lakota the exonym "Sioux" -- which translates as "snakes".

275 >>"Muslim migrants repay the French for their tolerance and inclusion." (More like reward them for their stupidity - jjs)

The immigrant population in France has been at war with them for many years while the French government protects them (which is why framing this current riot in BLM terms is so dumb). This is from 2016, a speech in Calais where many immigrants have entered France and overrun Calais with crime: https://tinyurl.com/4cdx678n

They have decided to make of Calais (unclear) and if we Calaisians don’t move we will be lumbered with all the migrants of France here, and we are finished, we are dead. And the Calaisians are like sheep; I don’t understand them. . .
The French have to be crushed, they have to be evicted. One has to take everything from them
to leave the space to the rabble who want to colonise us. And they tell us these are “cultural enrichment” for us. I ask myself where their cultural riches are. Because if it is to sack, to destroy, to steal, to rape and so on, the French were fully capable of doing it themselves, one only had to ask. I speak with my heart and my own words, and there you are.

302 Today the United States stands as the only existing country in the world with a forty-year track record of imperial military mis-adventures and the squandering of trillions of dollars. Instead of making the world safer the United States has sown chaos. The United States has more political prisoners languishing in prison than Russia and freedom of expression, especially for Christians, is attacked with increasing ferocity by a corporate media eager to shill for the U.S. Government. The U.S. intelligence and military organizations are a woke, hot mess. U.S. military leaders are fixated on promoting transgender degeneracy, routinely failing to meet recruitment goals and destroying the foundation of “uniformity” that is an essential trait of successful armies. I defy you to show me a mentally stable Russian intelligence or military officer eager to join this U.S.

And this is after we determine how a nation formed 300 years after the first discovery of the Americas should be the only one blamed?

But which tribe? Because current genetic and linguistic research is strongly suggesting that the ones we're calling " natives" weren't even on the east coast 1,000 years ago.
In fact, barely 100 years before Columbus, we have no idea about the "natives." It's all suppositions, myth, and WAGs.
