The Morning Report — 9/7/23

Good morning, kids. You know, with everything going on in the world, does the completely unsurprising revelation that Barack Obama was, and perhaps still is, a homosexual drug abuser really that important? In a certain sense, what this Larry Sinclair character claimed during his interview with Tucker Carlson is really no big deal in the grand scheme of things.

But the estimable Andrea Widburg over at American Thinker noticed something that for me is rather revelatory about who and what we're dealing with, and how low we have sunk.

. . . I found it very amusing when, after hearing Sinclair detail how he shared drugs with Obama and performed oral sex on him, Tucker asked Sinclair if that left a bad taste in his mouth, and Sinclair said that it did. Tucker and Sinclair were obviously speaking about the entire two-day interlude, from first meeting Obama to never seeing the man again, but I can be remarkably literal and, well, you get the joke.
There were two interesting parts of the interview with which I was not familiar. The first was Sinclair’s discussion about how the media and big tech went after him. Some media outlets lied about Sinclair’s criminal history (which he’d been quite open about in the YouTube video he originally made), grossly exaggerating it, and then dismissed him as a criminal and a crackpot.
Others blacked out the story after the Obama campaign said that, if they reported on it, the campaign would blacklist them. They chose access over investigative reporting and honesty. They also chose it over national security. After all, a president with a secret life of drugs and gay sex is perfectly situated to be blackmailed, with huge national security consequences. But for the national political media, getting a black man into the White House was more important than America’s well-being and safety. . .
. . . in late 2007, [Sinclair] reached out to the Obama campaign suggesting that the campaign stop telling all sorts of conflicting stories about Obama’s drug use. The campaign, he said, should just admit that Obama was still using drugs at least as late as 1999. Sinclair didn’t hear back from the campaign. Instead, he heard from Donald Young, who explained that the campaign wouldn’t acknowledge any sex or drug stories about Obama.
According to Sinclair, Young eventually told him that he was the gay choirmaster at the Reverend Wright’s church, the one where Obama sat in the pews for 20 years as Wright blasted America. He also said that he had a long-term “intimate” relationship with Obama. Not long after that, Young was murdered in his apartment. Young’s mother believes that it was to silence him (according to Sinclair).
Curious about this, I searched Young’s name on the internet and stumbled across an anti-Obama article from 2009. According to this article, Young was one of three gay men in Wright’s congregation who were executed within less than two months of each other. The local media suspected a gay killing rampage. However, the 2009 article suggests that they were killed because it’s possible that all three, not just Young, could have talked about Obama.

Another dot that Ms. Widburg did not connect was the very suspicious – at least to anyone outside of the media – drowning death of Obama's personal chef in the waters off Obama's beachfront home on Martha's Vineyard. At the time, supposedly Tafari Campbell was working on or had just completed a first draft of a book about his time cooking for the Obamas at the White House.

In any case, there are several relevant takeaways for me on this, Sinclair and Obama in general. First, and least important is the fact that he's a homo, or swings both ways. This of course assumes Michelle is in fact an anatomically-correct female (the jury is apparently out on that and I say that only half-jokingly) and that Barry had real flesh and blood girlfriends in his past, instead of composite characters per those Bill Ayers-penned "autobiographies" of his. To my knowledge, no actual female has ever been located that can be confirmed to have been what we all recognize as a girlfriend.

The drug abuse is another matter. Bad enough we had the Bill Clinton bromide of smoking pot but not inhaling. The lying and rhetorical maneuverings along with the degeneration of society in 1992 aside, supposedly this was when Clinton was in college 20 or so years prior. On the other hand, Barack Obama smoking crack as a middle-aged man just as his political career was on the rise and only a scant nine years before being elected president is quite another matter entirely. In a somewhat tangentially related essay, Mark Hemingway over at The Federalist wrote a lengthy diatribe against Taylor Swift, and her career/popularity as an indicator of "societal decline."

I get kind of the same vibe with these sordid tales of Obama. And that's just the drugs and dissolution. Say what you will about Donald Trump, but contrary to Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants' sliming of his, Trump's, accomplishments, he was the last real president who actually did "build that," creating tens of thousands of jobs and real careers both outside and inside government. He may be coarse and gruff but one thing he is is REAL. And that is why people relate to him. Every other politician, regardless of party, is a prepackaged fraud to one extent or another.

Psaki-Psircling back, the real alarm bell is Obama's will to power, and what he will do to maintain it. By he, I mean him personally and his cadre of reichsministers and people's commissars propping him up. I'm not saying he had Tafari Campbell or the other individuals alluded to in Widburg's article killed. That he and others of his bent have the motive, methods and opportunities to do so – and to get away with it – is something else entirely. Look what the entire criminal justice system and allied forces in the media and the corporate world are doing to Donald Trump and the J6 political prisoners at this very moment.

QED.

Meanwhile, in another part of the forest, the Chinese COVID mask mandates are back! Yay, just in time for the 2024 presidential campaign kickoff. I speak for myself when I say I will not comply to any of these regulations, if God-forbid they are reinstated. The problem of course is how do you resist government edicts when almost every aspect of the sector formerly known as "private" acts as the enforcers of these illegal, immoral and dangerous diktats? Aye, there's the rub, my friends, and it's not just this crap but every other policy position that this increasingly feral totalitarian junta wants to impose on us.

On a related note, it's great that people like Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott showed us the way by shipping the illegal alien invaders up to the blue shit-hole cities and states that proclaimed themselves as "sanctuaries." Well, with that in mind, I give you this development:

At the risk of sounding like Jerry Seinfeld, what’s the deal with U.S. District Judge David A. Ezra (of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas)? For a Reagan appointee, the judge is acting like a man who owes some money or serious favors to Barack Obama or George Soros or somebody. Yesterday, I told you about how Ezra struck down Texas’ age verification law for online porn sites, thus making sure that boys and girls of all ages can continue to sample the wares of PornHub and its contemporaries. Apparently, the Texas law violated the First Amendment — because PornHub was exactly what the people who created the First Amendment had in mind. Now Fox News reports that Ezra has ordered Texas to remove the buoys on the Rio Grande near Eagle Pass that have provided a barrier to illegal immigrants. The state has until September 15 to remove the buoys. When the buoys were deployed, the Biden administration was swift to react, demanding their removal on the grounds that they were in international waters and were an environmental and humanitarian hazard. Governor Greg Abbott said that the state would appeal Ezra’s ruling. Abbott stated:
Today’s court decision merely prolongs [so-called quote-unquote "president"] Biden’s willful refusal to acknowledge that Texas is rightfully stepping up to do the job that he should have been doing all along. This ruling is incorrect and will be overturned on appeal. We will continue to utilize every strategy to secure the border, including deploying Texas National Guard soldiers and Department of Public Safety troopers and installing strategic barriers.
Our battle to defend Texas’ sovereign authority to protect lives from the chaos caused by [so-called quote-unquote "president"] Biden’s open border policies has only begun. Texas is prepared to take this fight all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.

"Appeal the ruling?" "Take him to court?" With all due respect governor, to hell with that. It's time for a little nullification tango, sir. Do you not realize the lawless corruption of this Junta and its allies in your own statehouse and statehouses across the country? The criminal justice system top to bottom is a joke. If you had the stones, you'd tell the judge that the order will not be obeyed. Period, end of story.

We keep hearing what can't go on, won't go on. From the return of lockdown tyranny to this kind of shit, it's time for a little more "won't go on." From everyone.

18 Morning, JJ. I'm working, so only have a moment to drop off a pearl of wisdom.

I enjoyed the latest CJN podcast, especially the bits where you and CBD discuss the lack of general resistance to the tyranny that is daily being imposed on us.

Meanwhile, in another part of the forest, the Chinese COVID mask mandates are back! Yay, just in time for the 2024 presidential campaign kickoff. I speak for myself when I say I will not comply to any of these regulations, if God-forbid they are reinstated.

I think a good way to judge the strength of 'resistance' is to see what the reaction to masking will be. As I am a chronically depressed, bitter, cynical asshole, I am willing to bet that about 70% of the country will strap on the mask, churches will once again close and businesses will both require masks to enter and employees to get the 'booster' shot. I am certain this will happen here in MA, and I expect it will happen in the vast majority of states. And that should give you a good answer to your question of what it would take to get people to fight back.

BBL.

19 As the left continues to push its insane and authoritarian agenda upon Americans, increasing numbers of people will see that they have to take risks in order to defend the freedoms that previous generations took for granted.

More and more Americans will soon come to realize that as they take these risks, they do not have the government and law enforcement apparatus on their side.

36 Others blacked out the story after the Obama campaign said that, if they reported on it, the campaign would blacklist them. They chose access over investigative reporting and honesty.

Nothing new here at all, nor anything specific to politics.

Among those who cover entertainment from outside the mainstream system, they have a pejorative term for how the describe most of the press. It is similar to our "MSM" or "Pravda" or other pejoratives that we use to describe the mainstream current affairs press. The independent entertainment coverage types usually describe the mainstream entertainment press as the "Access Media." They are the outlets with *access* - people in the studios. They're the reporters who are on the media executives' Rolodexes.

They often spit out the phrase "Access Media" the way that current affairs types spit out "mainstream media" or "drive-by media" or "propaganda outlet."

Yet it's all the same thing, just in a different context. When I started following entertainment more closely, I saw the parallel immediately. It's a good moniker. It describes the reality with pinpoint accuracy. It's all about that precious access.

40 In any case, there are several relevant takeaways for me on this, Sinclair and Obama in general. First, and least important is the fact that he's a homo, or swings both ways.

It is important, and it is important because he and the entire complex around him lied about it. He can't even hide behind excuses like "the party wouldn't like it" or "my voters would reject me if they knew." It was 2007, in the Democrat Party. Those excuses don't apply.

He lied about something fundamental in his quest for power. That's relevant.

56 If the period between October 2019 and June 2023 had adhered to predictable mortality rates, 10.5 million Americans would have died. Instead, during that period, 12.4 people died. This prolonged period of so-called excess deaths, 17 percent above normal, is only rivaled by the estimated 675,000 deaths from Spanish Flu in America in 1918-19 when the country had a much smaller population.

This was planned. The grief and pain and misery of the CV lockdowns was a test in Big Govt control. About 20% of those thinking they need to be sent to the camps will off themselves way before the trains are loaded up.

Hold a press conference and lay it down. Something like
"Recent rulings from Judge Ezra hold that age verification processes for pornography and physical barriers against unimpeded entry into controlled areas are illegal. To preclude the potential for extremely costly future litigation, I am announcing two major areas of reform.

First, effective immediately, physical stores engaging in adult entertainment activities - pornography, strip clubs, etc. - are no longer age-restricted. Given the new standards of access dictated by the judge, we must level the playing field for traditional businesses.

Second, effective immediately, access controls in Texas government facilities shall be removed. Metal detectors, security stations, door locks, etc. will be eliminated, ensuring open access for all, no matter what time of day, what is being carried or who is seeking access.

Let them squirm and attempt to retrench. Then use their balking as cover to ignore the ruling while waging an all-fronts PR war.

I doubt that anyone on here-except for the DU Underground visitor- who posts their absurdities- goes on leftist sites to harangue them. You're not convincing anyone. Give it a rest!.

Fox would give him all the benefit of every possible doubt. It would nod along seriously, ask a couple of fake hard questions with obvious, coached responses and then call the matter closed, feeding both the narrative and the "FOX IS EVIL" narrative from CNN. Fox, as always, would play its part.

106 Exactly what penalty can the federal judge enforce against Texas if they refuse to remove the barrier?

Fines? The state has sovereign immunity. Besides the money has to be allocated by the legislature and approved by the governor.
So any order on fines violates the Federalism Clause.

Order the federal government to remove them? That violates the separation of powers. Biden would have to choose to send them.
And the fact that he didn't do that first, says they know they don't have the power to do that.

Abbott should do nothing. No further response. But leave them there.
If anything, he should say, "they are not on federal property, the judge's ruling only applies to federal land."

The federal courts have chosen their side-- the state over the people: Fuck them.

140 Local .gov worker shared with me a story about how a guy brought his entire extended family from India across the Mexican border. He said it was cheaper than an immigration lawyer and pretty much guaranteed they wouldn't be removed. He immediately got his sickly parents on the health care system and all kinds of assistance. He also brought in some younger family members who don't speak any English immediately dumped into the local school system. Incidentally, the health care system is now being overwhelmed and as is the school system. That's all going to fall back on the state and federal taxpayers who are being pushed out by people that aren't even citizens. This is going to be a massive issue around the time of the election. It can't be sustained. Any candidate who doesn't have a policy of shutting down the border, focusing solely on alien removal and starving the entire funding process can kiss my ass.

It's not that they are lying about every measure, the constant revisions after the positive headlines, etc., it's that they have so successfully convinced the public to focus on those when they are irrelevant, at best, and deadly deceptive at worst.

"Inflation is ____%" is meaningless.
What you buy what you want to buy-- has that gone up? Yes, a lot.
How about the increase in the money supply? Trillion dollar borrowed money spending bills every year since 2008. Every year, every dollar you make buys less than it did last year--7 to 20% less.

Taylor is a high maintenance rich bitch who is currently THE big thing/concert powerhouse with a summer of sold out shows. While neither has demonstrated the ability to marry, have kids, and stay (monogamous) married, I'm guessing Cyrus' comments are not really about boyfriends.

167 What "product" does a community organizer produce... and what net benefit to society is the result?

Posted by: Truck Monkey Report at September 07, 2023 08:52 AM (ZV+pB)

168 I too thought Swift's popularity among adults was a sign of social decline - briefly. Contextually, it's totally unremarkable, and it pales in comparison to the now-half-century long obsession of certain Boomers with the Beatles. It's the same exact thing... adult children who will never reach maturity mooning over a cultural symbol of their unrestored and unrestorable youth. Grown people emotionally attaching godhead status to bubblegum pop acts.

This kind of fatuous nonsense long predates Taylor Swift. And, I'll also venture to guess that, as obsessed as certain millennials are, there will *not* be cringe-inducing retrospective feature films about the glory of T-Swizz being produced and distributed like clockwork even twenty years from now, let alone forty.

Nothing will likely ever approach the masturbatory cultural worship that band has received.

169 I don't know any Taylor Swift songs. No doubt I've heard them, but I couldn't name them or sing any part of them unless someone prompted me. I don't want to know her songs or about her life; I am not going to her "concert" at the movies. I did hear that she gave a signifigant amunt of money to help people who worked for her so for that I give her credit.

By reputation, she's a good boss.

By chart performance, she's a top-flight pop act with enormous staying power. She puts out catchy songs some of which are decent and a lot of her music videos are well done. She's a pop star, and has done extremely well at it.

I don't buy - in the slightest - that her enduring popularity is a sign of some great societal decline. Signs of the decline of our civilization are all around us, but Swift isn't special in this regard at all.

195 After Liberty Safe, Beware of Corporations Posing as Your Political Ally

Gimmie a break.

Much of the commentary on this topic is, in my opinion, missing the point entirely. If Liberty Safe did something wrong, it's accepting a warrant not served on them directly as a reason to disclose combinations to their safes. Strictly, they should probably demand a subpoena before furnishing it. Since a subpoena is guaranteed to be issued, however, treating it as a fait accompli makes some operational sense even if I think it's the wrong move.

But even that is beside the point. *No* company is going to break the law for you. Expecting one to do so is irrational. When handed a lawful order - or something they think is a lawful order - no company is going to refuse to comply. Even if everyone at the company thinks it's bullshit and is actually on your side personally, they will do as they're told.

The real problem - and it's not just Liberty Safe, it's virtually everything - is that they ship products that they themselves can open. There are back doors in the electronic product, and records of access keys retained at HQ for the physical product. The safe is, by definition, unsafe.

From what I understand, if there were any warrants served they were against the FBI's victim, not against Liberty Safe.

Liberty Safe would therefore have no legal requirement to help the FBI seize the contents of the safe that was no longer owned or in the possession of Liberty Safe.

I didn't watch the Tucker-Sinclair interview. Is there anything that emerged that wasn't known decades ago? I recall HillBuzz, Kevin DuJan (?), writing about it.

The only surprising thing, to me, then and now, is that Sinclair didn't end up dead like those three other guys, and in fact has been relatively free to tell his tale all along. To anyone who'd listen.

Oh, well. Back to reading.

I more or less agree here.

But I still won't buy one of their products, simply due to the fact that this "back door" is now known to exist. There's no reason to believe that it's not exploitable by other people than the feds.

One of their competitors is already advertising on Teh Twatters that their product has NO such back door. Are they telling the truth, but given the choice of that or a product which is KNOWN to have a back door, that's the one I'm going to pick.

Also: did Liberty disclose the existence of the back door to their customers before the purchase? If not, I think I'd be asking for my money back.

If Obama actually was what he was obviously meant by the universe to be, a third-rate shoe salesman at Payless, and-

not president of the US, then yeah, who cares about his penchant for gay blowjobs and crack?

However, look at the weird sudden use of government power to force gay grooming and transgender madness on all of the young children of America.

Where did that all come from?

It is said that the people running the country are really Obama and his (gay?) posse, forcing unpopular and insane sex/gender related policy through senile puppet Joe Biden.

Is this a result of media-closeted gay Obama's clearly fucked up upbringing and creepy personal life?

Who knows? But, it seems like a possibility. In the end, personality and "private life" may be policy.

For a healthy democratic republic to work, we need to have transparency, clarity, and truth from and about our leaders/leadership.

Consumer safes are only to keep honest people out. The FBI, by definition, is a criminal organization that has zero respect for We The People, constitutional governance or even basic humanity.

Right. But there is the issue of cost/benefit and local capability. You can make it hard on them, and make them really want it.

If they have a warrant, they have the legal right to crack your safe - but you can compel them to take the time, effort and expense to crack it. You don't have to help them, and you shouldn't.

This is also a reason why it's best to have a safe without keys (or without keys as the only means of ingress). You can be legally compelled to turn over keys. You cannot be legally compelled to disclose a combination (you have the right to remain silent). The can torture it out of you, of course - so-called "lead pipe cryptanalysis" - but that's unlikely at the moment.

Most entertainment news of celebutards is hype from their marketing machinery where the marketing machinery promises access to the media types in turn for hyped coverage.

Note that in this particular instance no warrant or subpoena was issued to Liberty Safe nor were they named in the warrant served.

The company has since said they no longer use this "policy."

I'd wonder if English is Margolis' first language, but I'm sure it is and he's just being paid to attack Trump (or his allies) every day in his column. The only way he seems capable of doing that is by tendentiously parsing every word said. Let's go to the actual quote that's found in the article:

“I didn’t like the way she dealt with the queen,” Trump said during an interview with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt Wednesday.

“I’d love to debate her,” he said. “I would love it. I disagree so much with what they’re doing.”

A normal human being that's not being paid to be willfully obtuse can see that this quote clearly has nothing to do with Trump wanting to discuss the Ukraine invasion or the carried interest tax deduction with Megan. Translated for nitpickers like Margolis, this quote becomes "I don't like the way Markle treated the queen and I'd love to give her and her simp husband a good talking-to over it.". Perhaps debate isn't the best word to use in this context, but his meaning is clear.

It's a "we're part of a team" so next fall you can still be part of the "team" by voting for Joe and any wearer you see is part of the team so make sure they vote too

We all know it's not really medical, it's psychological.

306 Do you suggest we pray for a political conversion for her or get some suitable Republican politician to have a heart to heart talk with her.

I don't know where the rest of you stand on this, but I can tell you who I am sending.

307 297 A normal human being that's not being paid to be willfully obtuse can see that this quote clearly has nothing to do with Trump wanting to discuss the Ukraine invasion or the carried interest tax deduction with Megan.

Was going to post similar but should know better that you can't get this stuff past Whig.

308 Good morning and thanks, J.J. Mea culpa, once again.

Wrote something much earlier but, after taking some time to think through, decided NO but..1995, Dreams from my Father was first published. It was re-released 2004 with a few extra notes from O. Some drug usage is discussed therein.

Again, 11/07, a piece on a news program featured O visiting a NE high school & his touching on past drug use & lack of applying himself in youth. By his 2nd term in the WH, he was routinely discussing (See Time magazine, for one) prior drug use. Now gay was long suspected but even if true, how does that change anything but put another shot over the bow that conservatives are anti-gay. I like TC but feel something is wrong, perhaps a setup. That guy got his public platform but - especially in that manner - it's (straight v gay) not a direction in which to go.

The Taylor Swift stuff is nonsense. Beyonce, 8 figures for a 1-hour show in Dubai January 2023. Expected to earn $2 billion from her Renaissance concert (based loosely on disco and, reportedly, a gay relative).

If we're veering into race & morality & women in show business right now, that's treading in crap, too.

Peace.

309 Reagan appointee. Hmmm.

So, let's hearken back to the early 1980's in Texas. You could count the Republicans there on one hand. Reagan brought the non-Communist Dems into the R party, and they've been R ever sense.

He had no real sense of who was a conservative or not, and relied, as one does, on the locals to recommend, for better or worse.

I remember taking a case (took a lot of them), before Lynn Hughes, US District Judge for the SD TX. The crook's defense attorney, Chair of the D party in Harris County at one time, told me that he had been the campaign manager for Hughes, "when he was a Democrat."

Hughes was placed on the bench by Reagan. Worst judge in the District IMO.

310 FTA: Those unable to protect themselves from law-breakers deserve the protection of law enforcement, and of keeping thugs off the street. Our moral responsibility to protect our fellow citizens does not vanish just because our enforcement and judiciary employees turn away. In fact, our responsibility is magnified when there is no one else to whom our citizens can turn. Self-government is up to the self: that's each and every one of us.

Personal law enforcement is but a harbinger of what must come if our government continues to ignore our laws; it is the logical, reasonable and necessary outgrowth of the refusal of our current government to enforce our laws.

When one turns to government for protection and redress in a self-governing country... they are turning to one another; the "self" in "self-governing." And the self is beginning to do as it must: act.

311 I have much less respect for Tucker Carlson after he put Larry Sinclair on. Sinclair is ex-con scum whose specialty is fraud.

Carlson shouldn't have run the Sinclair interview unless he had some sort of corroboration. Carlson stepped into an open sewer-- thereby joining other journos like Joy Reid, Jemele Hill and Keith Olbermann.

312 "I too thought Swift's popularity among adults was a sign of social decline - briefly. Contextually, it's totally unremarkable, and it pales in comparison to the now-half-century long obsession of certain Boomers with the Beatles."

Exactly. Hemingway was compelled to talk about the Beatles. I had to check the byline to make sure Ed Driscoll wasn't a cowriter.
