The Morning Report

The Morning Report — 7/13/23

Good morning, kids. So the Capitol Hill dog and pony show of "grilling" FBI Reichsminister Christopher Wray surprised and shocked no one. Americans saw an arrogant liar whose mien and demeanor were narcissistic and condescending. Anti-Americans saw a patriot being unjustly persecuted by representatives of the knuckle-dragging troglodyte set. The low information set were too busy drooling over whichever Kardashian's buttocks was overstuffed into a g-string on Page 6 of the NY Post to care.

In any case, what real repercussions will Christopher Wray, Merrick Garland, the Bidens, the Clintons and everyone in or allied with this Junta actually face? If you said nothing, you win a cookie. Nearly three and more years after the fact, the revelations that the Chinese COVID lockdowns and the vaccines were at best useless and at worst deadly, that the Russian collusion smear and hoax was just that to the J6 "insurrection" proving more and more to be actually mostly peaceful (as opposed to the media definition of that term) with the violence instigated by none other than Wray's own confederates, everything they said was a conspiracy theory has turned out to be confirmed. But, as I stated in the opening paragraph, the individual thirds of this nation have reacted accordingly. In the immortal words of a certain muumuu-wearing harridan "At this point, what difference does it make?!"

By the way, buried in the communiqué about Ray Epps suing Tucker Carlson and Fox News for defamation, which is the moral equivalent of letting Admiral Levine conduct a circumcision, it turns out that the DOJ is about to, at long last, indict him for his actions on January 6th. As you process that, let me be the first to predict that Ray Epps did not kill himself. Yet.

I've said it, as have many others over the past three years as the Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants Junta its allies and apologists continue to engage in both high crimes and misdemeanors, abuse us, and rub our noses in it when those charged with holding them to account run interference for them and/or act as co-conspirators in their crimes, we're now "fundamentally transformed" into a banana republic. We say it so often now that it becomes just so much white noise. But if the use of the instrumentalities of our law enforcement and criminal justice systems as arms of a tyranny to control the citizenry doesn't convince you, perhaps these two related items will. Or should:

A series of bills filed by Democrat legislators in the Massachusetts House and Senate would open municipal voting rights to foreign nationals living in the state on green cards.
In practice, the policy would mean foreign nationals could cast deciding votes in Massachusetts towns and cities for mayor, school committee, city council, town council, board of selectmen, select board elections, school committee referendums, local ballot referendums, or other municipal races. . .
. . . “Immigrants are essential to our communities … many are on the path to citizenship but lack the ability to apply, but they need to have a say in how public services are funded and governed,” an official with the group MassVOTE told legislators during a hearing on the bills last month.
Elsewhere in New England, particularly Connecticut and Rhode Island, Democrat legislators have tried desperately to get legislation across the finish line this year that would not only give legal immigrants the right to vote but also illegal aliens.

"Immigrants?" "Many . . . on a path to citizenship?" Maybe. But let's ditch the legal niceties since we all know that the system is totally gamed to let in as many as possible and as quickly as possible without any constraints whatsoever. They're still foreigners, with little incentive if not their own will to assimilate. But they are on a path. And in many cases on planes, trains and ships with passage bought and paid for by those who control our Treasury. I refuse to dignify these individuals with the respect to acknowledge them as "our government since, they obviously do not represent us, even if they had not rigged the last election, which they did. By the way, according to this logic, there are nearly 7 billion people on this planet who theoretically are on a path to US citizenship.

Forget for a second the perhaps likely probability of this passing that we no longer have a country. The fact that it is even up for consideration is proof positive of that fact. As is this little item:

Immigrants without U.S. citizenship will soon be able to get badges and guns, and authorized to arrest Americans in the nation’s capital, as the city’s Police Department (DC MPD) struggles to recruit and retain police officers. New hires, including non-citizen green card holders, will even be offered up to $25,000 in signing bonuses. “As an agency, we truly believe that a workforce that represents our community brings a variety of ideas, experiences, and perspectives. Together, this blend drives innovation and growth,” said Ashan Benedict, Interim Chief of Police, whose own parents are Sri Lankan immigrants. . .
. . . While Benedict’s statement makes the move to recruit foreigners with green cards sound like a tech industry diversity and innovation initiative, it is more likely a response to the fact that the D.C. force’s manpower has collapsed to just 3,400 officers.

I don't give a damn about your recruitment problems. Non citizens, here legally or not, have not been assimilated into this country long enough to be given the responsibility to enforce our laws. Before even going that far, why do we even have a police recruitment problem – and a parallel disaster of a problem with military recruitment – in the first place? Could it be the decriminalizing of crime as well as the dismantling of any kind of adherence to both meritocracy as well as the inculcation of the norms of traditional American societal customs and values?

Meh, what the hell am I talking about. We have people born and raised here who consider themselves the elite of our society that have risen to become part of a never-intended ruling class who are absolutely above the law, and use/abuse whatever the laws are on the books to maintain that position of absolute power.

Psaki-psircle back to Christopher Wray, the Bidens, Clintons, Democrats, corporatists and all the rest of it.

In order to coordinate with the lawsuit against Fox, and the subsequent $2B payout to Epps and the gag order against discussing Epps any more (the gag order that is written up by Fox).

11 Seventh, no one ever explained when affirmative action was to apply. Blacks, for example, were vastly “overrepresented” in merit-based professional football and basketball. Yet no one demanded “proportional representation” to address such “disparate impact,” despite underrepresentation of all other demographics.

No one in our race-obsessed culture, of course, objected that white males died at twice their demographics in combat in Afghanistan and Iraq.

54 A long time ago, 40% of the attack subs being in port for maintenance would not be disturbing. If the balloon went up, a lot of issues would resolve themselves. We would get the morning aircraft availability reports, and if something came up, a lot of gripes would disappear (anything from threat of war to a couple of the boys wanting to make a weekend cross country to Nellis). Now, the imbed Karens would only find more reason to keep the subs in port or keep aircraft grounded.

78 The whole point of the Left pushing to allow non USA citizens to vote in local elections and now, become cops is to undermine the value of having USA citizenship so it is the equivalent of belonging to a Moose club. A fundamental part of being an American citizen is we, by our vote, choose who gets to oppress us, and in the case of law enforcement, get hauled off to jail by people, in theory it seems anymore, value the USA's founding principles. Of course the moment, illegals get to vote in local elections the bar will be moved to allow then to vote in state elections and so on.

Cisgender: a person whose gender identity and sex assigned at birth align (e.g., man and assigned male at birth). The word cisgender can also be shortened to “cis.” This term is preferred over “gender-normative” because it does not reinforce the existence of a ‘normative’ gender identity.

Eh. I don't follow celebrity news but it's less silly than political news. A lot of it is cooked up by publicists of course - phony romantic relationships and feuds, etc. - but some of it is real. Political news is 100% scripted, and the scripts are very lazily written, and they're telegraphed so far ahead of time that there are never any surprises.

We're following a much dumber, more boring and more low-brow form of entertainment than the LIVs who watch TMZ. They get that tranny comic book guy kidnapping an Indian squaw and carrying her off to his armed encampment. We get some toothless crackhead rich guy collecting bribes.

As you should. The reason for this is linguistic manipulation and its both very subtle and very sinister.

The way language works is by describing the deviant. The normal doesn't need to be described, because it is normal. Everyone knows it inherently because it is normal. Only exceptions need to be described because they deviate. The deviant thing gets labeled, and the normal thing does not because the deviant is notable and the normal is not.

So language tricks like "cisgender" work to level the playing field artificially by applying equivalent descriptive terms to the normal. "Man" means "normal man," it's just that the first word is redundant and so gets dropped. The deviant cannot be normal and so these tricks seek to make the normal and the deviant compete on an undifferentiated linguistic playing field.

161 The logical conclusion of the states lawsuits against certification of the fraud in those 6 states-- when the Supreme Court refused to hear it-- was to refuse to recognize the result of the election.

Which would have been to say, "no law signed by Biden will be recognized as law in this state as he was not legitimately elected." That was the only proper response. If the Constitutional order refuses to protect the fundamental sovereignty of the states-- the right to a fair, honest and transparent process in the selection of the executive--the states are not subject to that document.

The courts are an alternative to violence to resolve disputes. When you go to court, and the court refuses to act, you are free to pursue your own remedies.

Of course, the AGs that brought the suit had no intention of winning it-- it was a con to placate the rubes....

Yes, in part. The bigger part of the trick is psychological, and the desire is to destroy normality as such. Various things flow from that, including changing the perceived (but unstudied) size of the deviant groups or behaviors.

Charge Epps, take him to trial or get a plea deal, and then give him probation or some other minor punishment. That would allow Epps and the FBI to show they weren't working together and that he was treated just like all the other MAGA insurrectionists.

180 I think I agree, too. If you're in an enforcement role of any kind, I think citizenship should be a prerequisite.in
Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!)

To me, when generalized, there is fundamental distinction between USA citizens and people legally residing in the country and in some cases, becoming USA citizens. US citizenship comes with great privileges and the whole cast of inalienable rights. Filling in that canyon of distinction with Leftist/Marxist claptrap is about taking down the foundation that makes us Americans and replacing it with something that is free of the entirety of Western thought and tradition. Non citizens voting at any level, non citizens working in law enforcement is all about wiping clean the thousands years long progression that made us who we are. Again, that is me and that is my bedrock bottom line.

Hamilton wanted to consolidate power in the executive and federal government. He used the assumption of state debts to let off his state of New York of their burden from the debts that they had accumulated during the Revolution but had fallen behind on paying, making them the big winner of the assumption (the argument that it was the only way to get credit going for the federal government is laughable nonsense).

Hamilton is the historian's favorite founder because he was the one who did the most to undermine the constitution as written in the earliest years, doing the most to undo the decentralization of authority that the constitution laid out.

Aaron Burr did nothing wrong.

Certainly a significant percentage of the public is on the wrong side of the bell curve but I wonder what percent of the public really believes this crap any longer. The media would have us believe we are a tiny minority but that is obviously not true or they wouldn't have to lie, censor us and cheat to win. They could just ignore us and roll to unending victories with their overwhelming majority.

I think the truth is we are a majority and growing as more of this shit is exposed and they are growing increasingly shrill and isolated. You don't need to steal our 1st Amendment rights and rig elections if you command popular support.

Doubling down on corruption when you are exposed is not a sign of strength other than through brute force.

I'm not arguing the merits of the Articles of Confederation. Madison wrote the Virginia Plan which the Constitutional Convention used as the basis for the Constitution. Hamilton did write most of the Federalist in support of the Constitution (the only other serious alternative being a return to the Articles at that point), showing that he was a brilliant mind, but many brilliant minds feel like they should control everything themselves.

Hamilton, as the chief architect of Washington's administration, did more to undermine American liberty than anyone else in the first 20 years of the American Republic, starting with the assumption of state debts.

They are the weak crime family member who's always being roughed up by the others, for shits and grins.

249 Ending agency deference may only be the first step but its a big one. If Congress is required to write laws with detailed specificity, instead of just making general statements and letting agencies fill in the rest, then there will be fewer laws, fewer assaults on liberty, and smaller government. Congress can only do so much in a given term.

This will be a massive blow to the leftist, technocratic vision of government, if it happens. Because of that fact I expect the IC/Deep State/Junta cabal to mount a huge effort to get rid of a couple of Justices.

Biden, someone else, nobody - it doesn't matter. The Complex is what it is. Wray runs the internal state security police agency and, like in all similar systems, it works for the State/Party Complex. Sometimes the head goon has tremendous independent power and sometimes the head goon is subordinated to the head of the Party or the head of the State (usually following a succession struggle that results in a few top-level corpses), but he is always a powerful man who works for the system as such.

Nothing I've read has been distinctly anti-Hamilton. He's respected too much by historians. It's just what I've gleaned from being an obstinate contrarian.

Madison's best biography is the six-volume by Irving Brant, but it's long since out of print and 3,000 pages. You can find the final five volumes fairly easily, but the first volume is a devil of a hard find.

That EO was obscene, and it hit me as well. The directive was that every employee at any company with any fedgov contract had to get the shots - whether or not the employee worked on any government contract, whether or not the employee worked from home, etc. The argument was that even employees not on the contract could get sick and cause damage to the company (or spread illness to employees who *are* on the contract - no, don't ask any logical questions) and therefore damage to the government.

It was enjoined almost immediately in Kentucky and Tennessee, not that any company listened to that injunction.

320 The main reason my wife and I retired was because FedGov was moving in the direction to have all its employees get the vax. The outfit we worked at was leaning heavily in that direction, even though everyone was working from home for about 18 months. Basically we said fuck that shit.

In the end I don't think it was mandated, but your life was pretty harsh at work if you didn't abide. Seclusion, outcast, etc. was what we were told by friends still working.

And you did have to mask up to be in the facility regardless of your vax status. There are still people wearing masks there.

326 Morning Horde, thanks for the morning report JJ. I read the Hogan article about Soros and I agree jj that he didn't seem to realize that what Soros did with DAs was intentional. My local Soros DA has been a disaster but given NYS abysmal criminal laws and procedures he could be only marginally better. I practiced civil law against the guy and he was a good civil attorney who had no business running for prosecutor. As I understand he's drinking every day and early. The situation is wearing in him. His assistant just lost a murder case which has been screwed up since the murder occurred. The DA isn't running again, hi assistant is, against the guy who lost by less than a hundred votes last time. He is the son of an excellent former DA and will be much better if elected

This article could feed an entire thesis on both propaganda *and* lack of logical and verbal integrity. This is a remarkable paragraph:
James Slaugh was a patron at Club Q in Colorado Springs, Colorado, when a mass shooting killed five people and injured seven. The town is the home to Focus on the Family, a font of anti-LGBTQ+ narratives with a half-billion-dollar war chest for political influence across the United States. In riveting testimony to a U.S. House of Representatives panel, Slaugh said, “Hate starts with speech. The hateful rhetoric you’ve heard from elected leaders is the direct cause of the horrific shooting at Club Q.”

You see? The mere existence of an outfit like "Focus on the Family" gets people shot in gay clubs. What? You mean that "Focus" had *nothing* to do with that, and there is no evidence that the person who did it supported "Focus" or consumed its content? Well gee whiz, man. Don't question it. Just being in the city is enough.

That is an amazing job of cramming together non-sequiturs. "The hateful rhetoric you’ve heard from elected leaders is the direct cause of the horrific shooting at Club Q” has nothing to do with Focus on the Family, nor the shooting.

And wasn't the mass shooter non-binary or somesuch -- his parents were some flavor of sexually deviant, too. So NO, this was not caused by FotF *or* politicians' rhetoric. It was an unstable young man's fault.

390 I have often joked that NPCs can be commanded by the media to do anything - that if the right celebrities said the progressive bien pensant thing to do was putting your hand in a garbage disposal, then they would.

These two German bints actually did it. Joking is practically impossible anymore.

392 These terms and ideas erupt out of nowhere and suddenly you find yourself on your back heels going WTH is going here? At that point you find yourself stuttering a bunch when trying to articulate why you have such a visceral reaction against them and at times making arguments against the tactical meaning of the these instead of the strategy behind them. All this is meant to confuse clarity of thought when all that is needed is I ain't buying the bullshit your selling. This article is going into my Marxist/Socialist Bastards Mob archive.

Yup.

If he (if it's a he - I neither know nor care) was anything other than that kind of bastard, he'd have made a legitimate effort to study what he had done, and then attempted to atone for it.

400 207 On Affirmative Action, Media Once Again Prove They Have No Idea What Black People Think
_______
While that may well be true, they have a very accurate idea how black people vote. And so long as that's true, the media has a point.

Posted by: Eeyore at July 13, 2023 08:45 AM (brAQZ)

Yes, they accurately predict how blacks will vote because they rely on tribalism and promised but rarely-given handouts from the local, state, and Federal Governments. Tribalism is the principal factor. Hence the perpetual hectoring by Democrats, "You're not black if you don't vote for me!" And many other propaganda memes.

I doubt they have any real idea what epoxy is. They just knew they needed to save the world by briefly inconveniencing five or six people before having their hands amputated and living the next 60-70 years with a miserable and disfiguring disability.

But five or six people were briefly inconvenienced, so yay.
