The Morning Report — 10/3/23

Good morning, kids. Yesterday, Ace had a piece about some lefty so-called "journalist" and "activist" named Josh Kruger who spent his time spouting complete bullshit that the out-of-control crime in Philadelphia was an illusion and right-wing propaganda, yet got his dogma run over by karma. He was shot to death in some sort of home invasion (Reminder not to comment on old threads lest ye risk accidentally banning yourself).

The fact that he was homosexual and probably had the equivalent of Paul Pelosi's ball peen hammer come down upon his head (doo-doot-dee-doo-doo) but with fatal results is beside the point.

The point is, God help me for saying this, I laughed out loud. Whether that risks the status of my soul with the Almighty when it's my turn to shake off the surly bonds, well, so be it. I'm tired of having to be civil with people like the late and completely unlamented Josh Kruger who have equated me with Nazis, Hitler, cancer and an existential plague on the planet and therefore have no qualms about shoving me into a mass grave. Indeed, they openly fantasize about it. Condolences to the family, I suppose. Then again, if I were a betting man, I'd wager the family are blaming everything and everyone except themselves and their beliefs for what happened.

And Democrat Rep Henry Cuellar can count his lucky stars he did not achieve room temperature after getting carjacked in DC, literally right outside his apartment. Probably one of a handful if not the lone remaining Dem who's somewhat normal (that being a relative term), mostly for his anti-abortion stance and screaming about the open borders disaster. You wonder what he's thinking in terms of the blame game. If he keeps his mouth shut, you know he's protecting an already tenuous political career with the party he continues to belong.

That said, judging from what happened in court yesterday with Donald Trump, I stand by my assertion about the deceased Kruger's mindset:

The judge presiding over Donald Trump‘s civil fraud trial in New York City got blasted by the former president’s allies for flashing a smile in front of a camera before the proceeding got underway on Monday.
News networks aired scenes from the courtroom showing Trump sitting with his lawyers and, a few rows behind them, New York Attorney General Letitia James, who brought the $250 million lawsuit over allegations of business fraud against Trump, members of his family, and the Trump Organization. . .
. . . The smile enraged Trump’s defenders and others who expressed their dismay on social media in reaction to clips of the video.
“I’ve never seen anything more inappropriate in my life,” Jesse Binnall, an attorney for Trump but not in the New York fraud case, said during an appearance on Newsmax.
“A show trial. Literally,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “We have a serious crisis in our judicial system. So many demons,” said political commentator Julie Kelly. “The judge in Trump’s case smiles for his closeup. What an absolute clown show,” said the X account for the popular Citizen Free Press website.

I'm sure you'll be totally shocked to learn that this hack-in-black is a huge Dem donor. Clown show indeed. Except it's not funny. It has deadly serious consequences not just for Trump and in my view not even primarily against Trump, but against anyone and everyone who dares oppose the intentional dismantling of whatever the hell is left of the nation formerly known as the United States of America. That means you and me, my friends.

I've been saying for a while now that far too many people are under this delusion of regular order and politics/business and usual. Worst of all is Trump himself who, in spite of everything being thrown at him, is campaigning as if the hardball is only just a bit harder than usual. Judging from the photos I've seen of Trump during yesterday's pornographic human sacrifice disguised as an American courtroom, with this Judge Enorgon-Erdogan-Gorgon, whatever his accursed name is, channeling his inner Roland Freisler, I think he finally gets it.

Unfortunately, we have no organized or united political party or movement that gets it either. In fact, everything they do seems to indicate they are actively conspiring with the Junta to bring us down with near equal enthusiasm.

Regardless of how effective anything the GOP can do to at least slow down let alone halt this madness, they should at least make the effort. As was evidenced yesterday by Frank Luntz's Thai ladyboy a.k.a. Kevin McCarthy totally caving to the Dems on the continuing resolution, what does the GOP do? Go after one of the few voices of reason Matt Gaetz who rightly has moved to oust McCarthy. Does he have a shot? Probably not, but at least he's taking a stand regardless of the outcome or even to his own political standing.

House GOP members got their way by passing a Continuing Resolution (CR) that will fund the government until November 17. It seems that going agency by agency to determine the funding was just too much work for them instead of the CR, which President Joe Biden signed Saturday night.
Now, acquiescing House GOPers appear to be setting their sights on Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) for his continued call to remove House Speaker Kevin McCarthy from his position. Gaetz’s claim is that McCarthy hasn’t lived up to his end of the deal struck between himself and a segment of the House this past January.
There’s an Ethics Committee report being done on Gaetz. And although the contents of the report are unknown to some within the GOP that want to expel Gaetz, they still seem to want to go ahead with the Florida congressman’s expulsion. . .
. . . But one House Republican — you know, the one previously mentioned that doesn’t know what the report against Gaetz contains — gave an opposite view of Gaetz than what Gaetz said of McCarthy.
“No one can stand him at this point,” the anonymous member said. “A smart guy without morals.”
And by saying Gaetz is “without morals,” do they mean someone who keeps another to their word?
This conflict within the Republican Party comes just weeks after Gaetz stood on the House floor and called McCarthy out.

Funny how the GOP goes after Gaetz with a blow torch but Biden and Bowman get blow jobs. Gaetz gets respect for doing whatever he can within a completely corrupted system to at least take a stand. Another one who gets my respect not just in this regard but for realizing what she and we are really up against is Victoria Spartz. At least conditionally as you will see:

“[T]here is a limitation to human capacity. If Congress does not pass a debt commission this year to move the needle on the crushing national debt and inflation, at least at the next debt ceiling increase at the end of 2024, I will not continue sacrificing my children for this circus with a complete absence of leadership, vision, and spine,” Spartz wrote in her press release. “I cannot save this Republic alone,” she added.
McCarthy can only afford to lose five Republican votes against the motion, assuming all Democrats vote in favor of vacating the chair. Should Spartz resign before a vote and the Democrat Caucus maintain its current composition, that margin would drop to four votes, with Spartz’s office saying that she was “open-minded” on whether or not to support McCarthy.
Spartz is a two-term member of Congress who will be retiring at the end of her current term. She is an immigrant from Ukraine and has spoken out frequently about the country’s ongoing war against Russia, sometimes against officials in the administration of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Ugh. On the one hand, I'd implore her to stay and stand with Gaetz. But on the other hand, what real difference does it all make? As for saving the Republic, it died almost three years ago.

As for Newt Gingrich, who once sat on a couch with Malig-Nancy Pelosi and made nicey-nice, go have dinner with Josh Kruger. And Mark Levin? Go make like Harold Robbins and write the same book all over again.

15 It's interesting to watch the various news organizations report on the denouement of the "Trevor Bauer beat a woman" story. It turns out to have been a completely and utterly false accusation, and the woman explicitly told friends she was scheming to take his money. And yet almost all the news organizations even bothering to report the story are carefully neutral, failing to even note Bauer's exoneration. Weird.

32 UK Police Arrest British Journalist for Posting "Malformation" About Ukraine, Justin Trudeau Under Online Safety Act

For those who thought that there was "benevolence" coming from governments wishing to just keep their citizens safe from "malinformation" related to medical issues like Covid, here's your sign that it is something far more sinister.

As for regular order, I agree it no longer works. But I will not criticize Trump for trying to work within the system, no matter how corrupt it is; honestly, he has no other choice. Refuse to show up? He’d be arrested (you can’t bluff these maoists… they won’t fold). He does have a private army on speed dial. What’s he supposed to do?? Trump and his road is the best shot we have now because he has a national movement and he’s the only one who has a chance to overcome the inevitable fraud/cheating.

I’m most annoyed by all the other GOP candidates. None of them know what time it is…. If they did, they’d drop out and rally around the leader of a national movement. Obviously none of them get it

This is nibbling around the edges of something I've been saying explicitly for awhile, now. At least since people were lamenting Nunes' departure from a promising political career.

If you're a fed-level elected official who's actually not part of the scam, you should be quitting your post. If you're a state- or lower-level official who isn't, you should not be seeking federal office.

If you're looking to stay in, or get in - then I know what I need to know. You're part of the problem. As Spartz notes, this is a circus. It's not intended to do anything. And every last man Jack inside that circus tent knows it.

Indoctrination doesn't care. The kids will be "helped" along, word by word by the state propagandist running the class. It doesn't matter that the kids don't understand what they're saying, only that they get used to, and comfortable with the idea of "The State is almighty. The State will tell you what to believe, what to say, and you will believe and say what you're instructed. Or else."

And the State will be very happy to provide the "or else" measures. It has to now. It must, or it will lose its grip on control and power, and those in power will do anything to make sure that doesn't happen.

He pulled a fire alarm to delay a vote. That’s a crime. It’s painfully obvious that he can’t take responsibility for his actions and is instead choosing to self-destruct.”

Troy Nehls (TX-22) is my representative.

I'll concede that every single awful, terrible thing the worst of the Trump haters say about Trump is true. And it doesn't matter.

There have been a lot of clickbaity headlines about what Francis said or is supposed to have said about "blessing same-sex unions". Not that I'd put a lot of implicit trust in the Pope's pronouncements, it's important to be careful to separate the person from the sin.

129 NeverTrumpism is a mind disease which unfailingly produces a cognitive dissonance so profound as to discredit one's standing as a political commentator. Walsh is a good example. To write off Trump with glib mockery and contemptuous certitude is to completely miss why we are where we are. Trump represents us all, and any future leader who intends to existentially challenge the totalitarian mission of the Left. It was his brave, blunt even phenomenal declamations against the motive forces of the Left, and his efforts to actually do something about them, that have put his political future even his life and the fortunes of his family at peril. If you wish to sneer at and dismiss him, you are sneering and dismissing the one man who fought the Left with actions to back up his words and whose attempt to revive American greatness so enraged them into such savage vengeance. Name one other man or woman among the Republican aspirants who is willing to take up that cause and endure those risks?

Name one person who will do that for us?. Huh, Walsh?

All he had to do was stand up when the lawfare against the removed president began and say "No, this cannot stand, I support Trump and will do whatever I can to help save this republic." Trump/DeSantis 2024, the chance to overwhelm the fraud exists, they win and fix what they can at the federal level before he goes on to serve two terms after being VP.

But instead we're supposed to pretend everything is normal and we'll get to watch him get crushed in the primaries and his - and our - chances bowled over in 2024.

162 150 Poor DeSantis. He had a guaranteed path to the presidency, and an opportunity to help save the country, and instead he (and his advisors) decided to pretend it was a normal primary, that 2020 was a normal election, and that everything is humming along like it's 1992.

164 Here's something to contemplate; *the test is tomorrow*

FEMA, in coordination with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), will conduct a nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System (EAS) and Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) this fall.

The national test will consist of two portions, testing WEA and EAS capabilities. Both tests are scheduled to begin at approximately 2:20 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Oct. 4.
====
Every enabled device (if on) will receive this alert.

Raise your hand if you believe it's "only a test" and not some sort of location, identification exercise.

Really? Are you required to take the annual flu vaccine because I am not nor is anyone I know.

There's a lot of revisionist history going on about the vaccines. The entire world not just the US was pushing for new vaccines and virtually the entire medical community was supporting them. It's not like Trump ran some rogue plan on his own. All he did was help speed up the normal bureaucratic process.

It's easy to spot plans and corrupt people in hindsight. In the middle of the situation it was not clear at all that we were all being lied to on that scale.

263 GOP senators say they won't stop Democrats from replacing Feinstein on Judiciary Committee: NBC News. “It’s a prerogative of the Democratic leader to put who he wants on the Judiciary Committee. So I don’t think that’s an issue,” Cornyn said, arguing that it was different when Republicans blocked a temporary swap on the panel earlier this year while Feinstein was absent due to medical leave.

Believe it when I see it. The traitor will DEMAND they block the prez, and they will cave. In other words, you can fill the seat with another Democrat, but first the Senator must DIE and not just be incapacitated. Don't you just love Repukes.

Democrats have a clear majority, so they have a right to a majority in the Senate Judiciary Committee as well. If repukes block the seating, they'll be in violation of the rules!!

Reckless abandon and stupidity in the pursuit of "conservatism" is no virtue.

We've already proven that McCarthy is the best we can get in the speaker's chair with the slim majority the GOP holds in the house, with enough squishy uniparty reps refusing to seat anyone who isn't Frank Luntz's roommate. Vacating the chair to waste time relitigating the issue does nothing but make the GOP look dumber than they already look. It also has the unfortunate side effect of inflating Matt Gaetz' already oversized ego and putting his dumb mug on TV even more often. The guy is a fuckin sleaze who clearly has a raging hate-on for McCarthy and nobody who purports to be a conservative should entertain his clownshow.

SAR's are very serious matters, I am told by a friend who works for JPMC n this specific area. They are reports from bank anti-money laundering systems and identify for regulators transactions that are suspect as criminal. Each report is filed under strict regulatory oversight and more than one report about a single party or group ordinarily prompts deep investigation.

She tells me there will be an extensive record of communication between the banks and regulators on these reports, and Congress can subpoena those records from the banks.

Trump is good at dishing it to the media. He does it with a smile and great aplomb. Gatez looks like a red-faced lunatic on the verge of throwing his own feces.

316 My prediction: Trump will win the primaries. The GOP will invoke a last minute rule change to disqualify him. Will nominate Sununu or Hogan. Then 47% of the population will vote for him because at least it isn't Biden. Biden will win, and the GOP will declare that it is time to reach across the aisle and heal the nation after 8 years of Trump.
Posted by: Cat Ass Trophy at October 03, 2023 09:25 AM (uO55D)

If that happens the Hogan/Sununu type will be lucky to get to 40%… it’ll be a historic wipeout of the GOP candidate. Because people like me…. People who’ve voted for whatever trash has GOP next to their name (McCain, Romney) for their entire lives will no longer do that. I’ll write in Trump in that scenario; I’m betting there are millions like me. They won’t get away with that…

Another flaw of conservatism. As much as they liked to mock Obama for "being on the right side of history", conservatives sure are good at making shit up to convince themselves that they're on the right side of history.

318 “I just became aware that in our messaging guidance, there was inappropriate use of the term Nazi without my consent,” Bowman, or his staffer, tweeted from his official account. “I condemn the use of the term Nazi out of its precise definition. It is important to specify the term Nazi to refer to members of the Nazi party & neo-Nazis.”

No, pal. You don't call another Congressman a Nazi. You don't unless they really are. Inflammatory language like that is intended to incite violence and support the left's false claims of white supremacy (and the emergency actions that lead to J6 persecutions).

To say someone is a Nazi is to say they are a genocidal murderer, rapist and anti-Semite. There is a lot behind that accusation. It is not just riffing.

He needs to be kicked out of Congress.

CNBC, 09/06/23: (In part) President Joe Biden celebrated the recent West Coast dockworker contract in a ceremony at the White House on Wednesday.

Last week, the ILWU and the PMA ratified a contract after more than a year of negotiations that prompted the Biden administration to get involved.

"The contract finalized last week represented a prime example of Bidenomics at work, reflecting workers empowered and bargaining together for the wages, benefits, and quality of life they deserve, and company owners recognizing those unions’ right to organize,” a White House official said in a statement.

Chronic worker slowdowns plagued the ports as negotiations lagged on, in some cases diverting shipments and leading to temporary port closures.

"The bankruptcy is an attempt to avoid paying a fine imposed by a federal jury that held the union liable for illegal slowdowns and work stoppages at a container terminal in Portland, Oregon, operated by International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI), according to The Wall Street Journal."

338 Astute observations and commentary as usual, JJ. I appreciate you so much. A lighthouse of truth in an ever stormier world.
But what does truth get us anymore? More urgently, where does truth get us anymore?
I agree, President Trump is fighting with everything he's got against a judicial system rigged against him, running energetically in a political system rigged against him. But what else can he do?
For 4 years he had the whole of government - including his own party, the same ones who claim they are for immigration enforcement and for smaller government - denouncing him, allowing him to be savaged and assenting to his destruction when not actively assisting. And nothing drives the point I'm making home more than hearing Senator Lindsey Graham warning House Republicans of what a terrible mistake it would be if they removed Kevin McCarthy from the Speaker's office.They will speak up for McCarthy, one of their fellow DC worms but not for their President, nor for the January 6 political prisoners. I will at least thank Senator Graham for reminding all of us who he (and they) are. The enemy.
As for President Trump, he fights and we will not spare him because he fights.

340 If the Constitution is now dead, so are we. I often think of my parents and the nation they fought for and thrived in. I look at the institutions that have been lost, like the military. That would be so foreign to them it would be absurd. And they did not pass decades ago, it was recent.

I think we are at a crossroads. The next election is vital no doubt. Those saying to not vote are historically clueless. And when I invoke history I am dead serious.

I unfortunately believe in the great sort, the great divorce. At a point neither side will live or die by an election. They will live apart, one revering the Constitution and the other doing their own thing. America will be weaker, lesser, but some will have peace.

In fact, in an op-ed in the USA Today, you said that a Utah polygamist named Tom Green, who was also convicted of pedophilia for raping his 13-year-old stepdaughter, should not have been charged with polygamy,” the Congressman seethed...Let's set to one side the fact that Turley was representing clients in 2006

Well, as I see it, it would be fair game in an answer to Dems in Congress to say, "As much as you support Pedophilia for voting against a bill that would have increased penalties against sex traffickers, or Hillary Clinton supported Rapists for having them as clients".

Gaetz and his fellow "warriors" voted down a CR with an 8% cut in spending because they wanted a shutdown. Mind you, these same warriors refuse to discuss entitlement spending which the main cause of growth in the federal budget.
Removing McCarthy but replacing him with someone who is similar to him accomplishes what?
To me this is just Trump level showmanship. If you want political drama, then Gaetz is providing the entertainment. If you want results, then you just shake your head.

So Trump ruffles peoples feathers and so does Gaetz. So what? If Teddy Roosevelt were alive today, pussy RINO enablers would probably tar him as "extreme" for his bravado.
