The Morning Report

The Morning Report — 7/10/23

Good morning, kids. Picking up where I left off on Friday, as well as our fascinating conversation on the podcast with the great Robert Spencer (here and in the sidebar) there was a salient point which probably all of you who are regular readers here are well aware of yet it bears underscoring. As of this moment in history, we as a nation and society are completely divided, and at war with one another. There can be no rapprochement, reconciliation nor even just an agreement to go our separate ways peacefully, if not amicably. Beyond the massive differences that separate us, the very nature of the land and heritage that we have in common is viewed by them as illegitimate and evil. That is why our mere existence is intolerable to the Left. They cannot allow us to live either side by side or even separately, whatever the borders of that theoretical map would look like. In their eyes, we will either be brought to heel or we will be annihilated.

From the top down, they are so deluded and delusional that there can be no reasoning with them. That they view us as evil, the very thought of them even deigning to pause long enough to attempt a civil conversation to discuss these differences is a non-starter. Yet here we are with the presidential campaign season about to kick into high gear and, aside from the fact that the trashing of the systems that can ensure even the barest of bare fig leaves of integrity and security have been all but wiped out in the wake of the pandemic pretext, how in the world does Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants stand up on a debate stage and shamble over to Donald Trump – a man whom the former and his ilk have both likened to Hitler and have spent years now railroading him into being the greatest American traitor – and shake hands with him on national television in a presidential debate, as rivals yet political equals?

My using both of them is merely illustrative, and in no way is meant to telegraph either my desires or my predictions about who will be the standard bearer for each side. Not that that even matters, as the gravamen of my discourse so far indicates. I am only trying to point out both the ridiculousness and hideousness of the situation.

America, in essence, has devolved into a 3,000 mile wide State of Israel. And like them, here too there can be no two-state solution.

His official biography reveals his priorities as mayor. “With a population that is 92 percent African-American, South Fulton, Georgia is now the blackest big city in America. khalid is [on] a mission to make America’s Blackest City Black. On Purpose — which means a city that is not just unapologetic about its demographics, but moving on purpose to be a laboratory for economic, housing, and restorative justice policies aimed at improving the lives of African Americans.”
Evidently, part of Kamau’s mission as mayor is to enter other people’s houses whenever he wants to. On July 8, police arrested Kamau after he trespassed on private property.
“South Fulton Mayor Khalid Kamau was charged with criminal trespass and first-degree burglary after being seen walking on private property on Cascade Palmetto Highway,” WSB-TV reports. “Officials said the homeowner confronted Kamau, pulled his firearm, and commanded him to ‘stay put’ until police arrived.”
According to the police report, the homeowner saw an unidentified man in his house and told him to stay where he was until authorities arrived. The man, who happened to be Kamau, replied, “Do you know who the f**k I am? I’m the Mayor, and I’ll wait for my police to get here and see what happens then.”
“My” police? That’s not a terribly socialist attitude, is it?
The homeowner replied, “No motherf***ker, you stay right there.” Kamau claimed that he then stepped forward to introduce himself, but the homeowner said, “If you take another step, I’m going to shoot you.” Kamau told police that he apologized to the owner.
What was Kamau’s excuse for just wandering into a random house?
“I just wanted to see the house,” the mayor told Fox 5 Atlanta. “I do apologize to the owners. I thought it was abandoned.” He apologized “for the negative attention that this is brought to our city.”

92% black? That's not very "diverse" nor "inclusive," is it? Not that this Mau-Mau Maoist would even entertain the idea of using the instrumentalities of government to forcibly integrate whites into the city. In that light, I wonder what Justice Kentanji Brown-25 has to say about this, considering her outrage over the ditching of affirmative action. I wonder if she would propose giving whites property tax holidays and other incentives to move into South Fulton while black residents would pick up the tab. Yeah, I thought so.

Most illustrative of the divide was in her dissent in the affirmative action case. The fact that there was nothing in it that even remotely addressed the Constitution, but mostly just the same tired, ponderous bromides, mischaracterizations and blood-libels about American history and society was telling in and of itself. Remember, she and her fellow travelers view that document and the men who wrote it with contempt. But what is really telling and just plain hideous was this statement.

In her dissent to the 6-3 decision in Students for Fair Admissions v. President and Fellows of Harvard College, which struck down affirmative action in college admissions: Justice Jackson made the following notable claim: “For high-risk Black newborns, having a Black physician more than doubles the likelihood that the baby will live, and not die.”
In a response in the Wall Street Journal, plaintiffs’ litigator Ted Frank weighed in:
A moment’s thought should be enough to realize that this claim is wildly implausible. Imagine if 40% of black newborns died—thousands of dead infants every week. But even so, that’s a 60% survival rate, which is mathematically impossible to double. And the actual survival rate is over 99%.
How could Justice Jackson make such an innumerate mistake? A footnote cites a friend-of-the-court brief by the Association of American Medical Colleges, which makes the same claim in almost identical language. It, in turn, refers to a 2020 study whose lead author is Brad Greenwood, a professor at the George Mason University School of Business.

"How could Justice Jackson make such an innumerate mistake?" How? Because she's a brainwashed, mal-educated racialist, that's how. There is zero difference between this and Maxine "Love Canal" Waters claiming that the CIA was behind the importation of crack into black neighborhoods to foster black genocide, or DC Councilman Trayon White claiming that Jews control the weather (well, we do, but let's not get bogged down in minutiae, m'kay tottele?").

Or that Joe Biden actually got 82 million legitimate votes and won the 2020 election, but I digress. As for Waters and the CIA, I have to say that all things considered vis a vis what we've learned about the CIA, DOJ, FBI and all the other alphabet soup of American Reichsministeriums, maybe she wasn't far off the mark. And yet, when it comes to overthrowing President Trump, she's willing to forgive and forget. Or, like that old show business saw about Hitler being good box office, "maybe not forgive, but certainly forget."

21 IIRC, the study had a 99.6% survival rate for Black doctors and a 99.58% survival rate for White doctors.

There are several things wrong about this.

I don't know how you can look at these figures and find some kind of doubling.

These figures are not statistically significant to show difference between Black and White doctors.

In fact, they're strong evidence that there isn't a difference. The study should conclude with this, not the opposite.

The people who did the study aren't scientists, no matter their credentials. They want to put a rabbit in a hat to score political points. Who
's funding them.

37 Arabella's funds hauled in a combined $3.3 billion in 2020 and 2021. Its primary political arm, the Sixteen Thirty Fund, doled out $61 million to Democratic Super PACs during the 2020 election cycle, second only to Majority Forward, a dark money group associated with Senate Democrats. The Sixteen Thirty Fund spent so much on politics in 2020 that the Federal Election Commission's general counsel urged the commission in June 2022 to "find reason to believe" the fund violated federal law by failing to register as a political committee. The FEC, however, went against its attorney's recommendation and closed the case in September.
==========================
The sheer size of Arabella Advisors fund raising is astounding. The left has a lot of billionaires supporting it, I guess. It can't all come from George Soros.

79 His official biography reveals his priorities as mayor. “With a population that is 92 percent African-American, South Fulton, Georgia is now the blackest big city in America. khalid is [on] a mission to make America’s Blackest City Black. On Purpose — which means a city that is not just unapologetic about its demographics, but moving on purpose to be a laboratory for economic, housing, and restorative justice policies aimed at improving the lives of African Americans.”

Huh. So the idea is basically a retread of Soul City, North Carolina. That was supposed to be an all-black city for and by black people, and the project got started in the 1970s. It was a typical utopian experiment that collapsed under its own weight and ultimately failed. It's a ghost town with a prison and little else today.

This sounds pretty much the same, except that they started with an existing municipality in an existing metropolitan complex, then converted it. As a result, it will probably work better than Soul City. Like all utopian urban experiments and communes, however, it will not work well.

citing health concerns, he will step down next spring

Kameltoe has agreed to the plan and will pardon the Bidens and any other players after the election

the media advantage of having Kameltoe on the tube as Madam President is not lost on the dims

plus she will become wealthy. However her political viability will be destroyed

I am no defender of KBJ-25, but if the likelihood (chance) of the high-risk baby's survival was 5% or 20% or 40%, then it would be possible (theoretically), to more than double the likelihood of survival.

110 Here’s a line of cause and effect:
Clinton is prez and not particularly popular in 93
Waco happens
2 years later, Oklahoma City bombing happens; for the perps it’s Waco payback
Clinton’s popularity soars after his response to OKC bombing
He’s never really seriously challenged for reelection after that

So in a strange roundabout way, Waco helped get WJC re-elected

111 In its clarifying letter, Norton Rose Fullbright said that “mortality” had been confused with survival rates:

[W]hile survival is the obverse of mortality and in general terms decreased mortality indicates increased survival, statistically they are not interchangeable. … A more precise summary of the study’s finding would have been to state that having a Black physician reduces by more than half the likelihood of death for Black newborns as compared to White newborns.

Let us unpack this:
1. Mortality rates define the number of people who die of a certain cause in a year divided by the total number of people. For instance, the mortality rate for people with lung cancer in the United States is 53.4 per 100,000 people.

2. Survival rates are something else entirely. They calculate the percentage of people with a disease who are still alive a set amount of time after diagnosis. The five year survival rate for people with lung cancer in the US is 15.6%.

3. So white doctors KILL twice as many black babies as white doctors.

4. The overall mortality risk for Black newborns in this study was 894/100,000 births. 99.1% survival.

I am trying to. The theater in my town is sold out Tue, Wed and Thur except for the first row and handicapped seats. The next-nearest theater in the town down the road is sold out those same days except for handicapped seats.

The other big movies - Indiana Jones, Insidious, Mission: Impossible - have plenty of availability. Indiana Jones is particularly amusing, as most showings have only 2-4 seats sold.

I don't imagine that the theaters are all that happy about having to burn multiple auditoriums on Indy while they can't sell tickets for what would probably be a sell-out (or nearly so) second showing of "Sound of Freedom." Mission: Impossible will probably fill up and Insidious probably has a lot of drop-in ticket sales, but Indy is just wasted theater space. It's got to be grating on the operators.

One thing FedGov will never abide is a defiant public. IMO it doesn't need the military to put down a rebellious group of people. It's got armed bureaucrats by the 10's of thousands to unleash.

I wonder why they sold it at all. Iger was happy to keep it buried for years. Chapek is the one who sold it off to Angel, if I have the timeline correct.

Which means one of two things to me:
1. The reason for the suppression was ideological, and Iger knew it but Chapek didn't. Chapek say an opportunity to get a few million bucks for no effort, and took it but accidentally screwed up the apple cart in the process.
2. It was suppressed for the same reason so much other stuff from the 20th Century Fox acquisition was suppressed. I don't know what that reason *is* - I suspect it's "Not Invented Here" syndrome - but it hit a lot of Fox productions after the takeover. There are a lot of things Disney never released, or released with no marketing to fulfill existing contracts, etc.

I saw a clip last night of an interview with Tim Ballard and Caviezel. Ballard was describing his current work which includes trying to stop child sex trafficking from Ukraine to Mexico and then on to guess where?

What was even more eye opening was work he claimed to do in Poland (I think) to stop child sex trafficking by a political group that had a platform almost indistinguishable from the current Democrat party. Sexualizing children, normalizing pedophilia, lowering the age when children can consent, the whole twisted platform.

This is something the creators of the film have been agitating for--bigger auditoriums. They have been trying to show that the smaller theaters are filling up to capacity, thus justifying theaters using the bigger auditoriums. It's *really* got to stick in Disney's craw that they cannot get anyone to see Indy 5...And NO ONE will go watch it twice.

And then remember powerful forces spent the last 5 years trying to prevent this movie from ever been shown and now the left is involved in a coordinated campaign to marginalize the movie and make the message into a rightwing conspiracy theory. It is a true story.

249 Every now and then we see "far right wing" parties elected in Europe and their record so far, outside of Hungary and Poland, has been extremely poor at getting anything done.

The parliamentary system and the number of political parties make real change impossible. A right wing party may get the most votes but inevitably needs to form a coalition with another not-so-right-wing party to form a government.

And let's not forget the sellouts in our ranks (your turn to bow Brian Kemp, you fucking bastard) or straight-up liars (looking at you, Mittens Romney) who will place a payday of future party favortism and complete felty to Mitch McConnell over pesky things like election laws or the commitments to their voters. The shocking fact that 3 Republican Senators joined Dems to confirm someone as totally unqualified as Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court tells you everything you need to know when it comes to trusting the G.O.P. to do the right thing.
So keep a sharp eye on the goings-on before the primaries. The Republicans helped steal 2020 and 2022 in places like Arizona. They've stolen primaries from their own voters before - Mississippi in 2014 - so be vigilant! Republicans cannot be trusted!

315 Axios: “Old yeller: Biden’s private fury”

Behind closed doors, Biden has such a quick-trigger temper that some aides try to avoid meeting alone with him. Some take a colleague, almost as a shield against a solo blast.
The president’s admonitions include: “God dammit, how the f**k don’t you know this?!,” “Don’t f**king bullsh*t me!” and “Get the f**k out of here!” — according to current and former Biden aides who have witnessed and been on the receiving end of such outbursts.

320 That they view us as evil,

Yet another domain of a transcendent God they want to claim.

They stole the rainbow, marriage and what it means to be a male or female; then corrupted it. It was never theirs to take. Those things transcend their existence being part of humanity since the beginning (maybe not the rainbow) is beyond their grasp in most nations, and will continue on long before they are gone.

Defining "evil" is interesting in that they can't. That word must be corrupted into meaning "Disagreeing With Me". It is a mockery of God's Holiness and Justice in that God's Law has Purpose. Theirs is ad hoc, fluid and capricious. They have no purity, no sense of justice and no consistency, lacking purpose, they are nihilists.

"Evil" is a word they can't understand, they don't have the language to even comprehend it, and have no business trying to reshape it.

323 Had an article above the fold either last Friday or Thursday about a Belgian woman who claimed she was trafficked by her mother when she was like 7 years old and that was back in the late 70s.

Belgium had a major child sex ring come to light in...the 90s?

The nominal ring leader was some no name who had no real source of income.

He claimed that he was working for the elites in the country supplying them kids and they paid him well in return. In response the Belgian government/media put a gag order on him and gave him a forever prison sentence.

325 A moment’s thought should be enough to realize that this claim is wildly implausible. Imagine if 40% of black newborns died —thousands of dead infants every week. But even so, that’s a 60% survival rate, which is mathematically impossible to double. And the actual survival rate is over 99%.

----------

Per the CDC: In 2019, Black women accounted for 38.4% of the 629,898 abortions reported and "experience" induced abortions at a rate nearly 4 times that of White women for at least 3 decades.

Hmmm ...

Reuters, Washington, July 7, "The US announced on Friday that it will send Ukraine cluster munitions - prohibited by more than 100 countries - as part of an $800 million security package, a move Ukraine said would have an "extraordinary psycho-emotional impact" on Russian Forces."

Early O&Joe admin, they were banned. In 2009, hrw dot org reported, US: Cluster Bomb Exports Banned. Obama should initiate Review of US stance on Treaty.... "Congress included the export ban in an omnibus budget bill (HR 1105) that passed the Senate on Tuesday. The legislation states that cluster munitions can only be exposed if they leave behind less than 1 percent of their submunitions as duds..."
