The Morning Report

The Morning Report — 11/15/23

Good morning, kids. Some good things to celebrate this morning. No, not the fact that the House passed another hideous continuing resolution to fund an at best inept government and at worst a corrupt tyranny hell bent on destroying whatever is left of our freedom. That's all on the GOP. Regardless of the fact that failure to win any sort of victory against the aforementioned is virtually doomed from the start, the refusal to stand in unison to do so, and worse to stab those who want to try is hateful in the extreme. We get into that discussion in the latest episode of the podcast (here and in the sidebar) and there are a couple of links leading the Politics section that get into this theme, so have at it.

No, what was heartening to see was a massive turnout in D.C. as well as in Paris standing in solidarity with Israel. As noted on the podcast and in yesterday's MR, the continued action of, of all people, John Fetterman to also stand unequivocally with Israel is to be applauded. Whatever the cynics among us think, insofar as there may be some ulterior political machinations with him and his handlers in doing this, made more difficult I should think given the anti-Semitic trajectory that the Democrat Party as a whole is being steered, is not important. His words and the optics of him attending this rally actually wearing the Israeli flag are exactly what's needed at this moment for all the world to see. No mention of innocent Gazans or any equivocation. The sincerity appears genuine and that's what counts at a time like this. That's more than enough for me to acknowledge this and say thank you to Sen. Fetterman.

It was not so very long ago that every Senator and Congressman, if not draping the Israel flag around his shoulders, would have at least stood in solidarity with one of our staunchest allies and societal kindred spirits. No more now that the chickens of completely unwarranted grievance and raw, naked hatred have come home to roost. Our national and societal "death by suicide" as Abraham Lincoln so eloquently and prophetically warned about almost 200 years ago is now unmistakable.

It's tragic that this country has become so utterly disunited to the point of being on the verge of tearing itself apart. And yet, here we are. I would be most interested to see what the age breakdown of the rally-goers was. If I were a betting man, I would think that it definitely skewed older. And that is not a good sign for our future given the fact that the past few weeks have seen rallies in the big cities, up to and including New York, a, if not the Jewish capital of the world in terms of population and reputation, with participants calling for the annihilation of Israel and Jews in general. You can bet the age breakdown for those skewed very young. Speaking as a near senior citizen and for those of us in that category, the sands of the hourglass are running down while America's youth and progeny are only just getting started:

Even as war continues to rage in Gaza, there already is much talk about the “day after,” meaning what happens there when the guns go quiet. The chatter assumes Israel will rout Hamas and that a new entity will fill the governing vacuum. Finding a solution is a huge challenge and while America will have a big say, there is another “day after” issue also demanding our attention. It involves the shocking explosion of antisemitism on elite college campuses. It, too, must be eliminated because it is morally wrong, and because history leaves no doubt about where it leads.
Washington has a role to play, but the real action must happen where the problem is — on the campuses. University leaders must lead, or get out of the way. In some sense, the raw hatred was hiding in plain sight. In recent years, the ringmasters of cancel culture included Israel in their ever-expanding lists of “white supremacists” and “colonizers,” sure signs the Jewish state was becoming a pariah. As with America’s Founders, conservatives, whites and Christians, any defense of Israel often triggered a generation of snowflakes determined to erase it from the canon of acceptable allegiances. When it comes to Israel, the “E” in DEI stands for exclusion, not equity. Still, despite suspicions and some obvious cases, it was not always certain that the relentless criticism had morphed into a wide hatred of Jews.
Until now.
The Oct. 7 slaughter brought the antisemites and their enablers out of the closet. Because you can’t solve a problem you don’t know exists, we now know who they are and the hate they harbor. We see them in all their arrogance at Harvard, Penn and my alma mater, Columbia. Their banners, slogans and chants of “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” remove any doubt that they are not mere critics of Israel. They share with Hamas, Iran and antisemites throughout history a pure hatred of Jews. Sizeable numbers of students, faculty and administrators at many other so-called schools of higher education are also guilty of harboring this ancient sickness, including at the City University of New York, especially its radical law school.
In many cases, the Jew-hatred was not clear because the policies of Israel, like the policies of any nation, are fair game for criticism. The right to dissent is intrinsic to Americans’ right of free speech and criticizing Israel is no exception. But there are also tests for determining whether the criticism is honest, legitimate disagreement, or a smokescreen for antisemitism. Consider the definition of antisemitism adopted by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance in 2016, and embraced by the United States. It cites as examples charges that Jews conspire to harm humanity and the use of “sinister stereotypes.” Another example involves “justifying the killing or harming of Jews in the name of a radical ideology or an extremist view of religion.” Others include spreading the “myth about a world Jewish conspiracy or of Jews controlling the media, economy, government or other societal institutions.”
Holocaust denial, of course, is a prime example of antisemitism. Those and other clear expressions have all been front and center since Oct. 7. Among the most loathsome are claims that Jews, not Hamas, killed more than 1,000 Israelis that day, most of them unarmed civilians, including scores of infants and children. Another sickening sight is the emergence of signs that the slaughter never happened, or if it did, it was justified as a form of “resistance.”
. . . Fortunately, there is a strong and growing outrage against campus antisemitism and it is being led by alumni, many of whom are closing their wallets. Harvard has been a flashpoint because a letter from student groups actually blamed Israel for the Hamas slaughter, and its new president, Claudine Gay, kept issuing blah blah blah statements in an obscene search for neutral ground. When it comes to evil, there is no neutral ground.

Michael Goodwin is dead on in identifying the problem such as it is, as well as the rank hypocrisy of higher ed. Unfortunately, he does not identify the root cause of the problem. Yes, anti-Semitism is now out in the open for all except the blind to see in all its ugliness. Horrible as it is, it is merely a symptom of the greater problem: A nation and a society that has been rotted out from within, primarily via the educational system which graduated three generations of ticking time bomb saboteurs who have destroyed every aspect of our society, top to bottom and inside out. We cannot reconcile with a political philosophy and movement that for all intents and purposes is the equivalent of Hamas. One that seeks our own annihilation and the replacement of America as founded with a Leftist mythical "Palestine" of their own creation.

"When it comes to evil, there is no neutral ground."

Absolutely goddam right, Mr. Goodwin. The problem is that if we come out the other end and vanquish the tyranny that took a little over a century to subsume us, do we reinstate the exact same Constitution which our mortal enemy used as a shield to take us down in the first place? Bit of a pickle, that.

Pace Lincoln one more time, we are a house divided. It cannot and will not stand. How it falls insofar as what level of violence we see in the ensuing collapse, is an unknown. When it falls is coming more and more into focus: one year from right now almost to the date.

Let’s venture that next year’s elections are held (yes, you read that right). The results, either way, will inevitably be disputed -- and not civilly, not if Democrats manage to lose. Between Trump derangement syndrome and an unending hunger for power and money, Democrats simply can’t lose to Trump and not go bonkers.
Suspending elections sound like something out of a beach read. Maybe so. Never happened in the good old U.S. of A., you say. Check. But the world and country are headed for oversized calamities, they’re on our doorsteps now. Saying next year’s presidential contest is critical has become cliché.
The world is spinning out of control. Look no further than Ukraine, where the possibility of a wider war developing is real, though D.C. lifers are backing off some. Ukrainians have lost the war. The elites shiny new toy is the Middle East. . .
. . . No need to inventory the multiplying troubles here at home. You know them. They stem from dreadful policies and misgovernance compliments Biden’s handlers. Compounding woes, the miserable governance by Democrats of blue states and localities. Mass misery in less than three years. Oh, and vast right-wing conspiracies bubble and brew, say Democrats. Trump poses an existential threat to democracy.
. . . If there’s a presidential election, the betting odds are that the outcome fails to legitimize the winner. Here’s why.
Should Trump lose again -- by razor thin margins in battleground states -- the pall of cheating will hang in the air far heavier than ‘20. Another election where Trump leads the Democrat by hundreds of thousands of votes in, say, Pennsylvania, only to see that margin vanish overnight will be met with immense skepticism. RFK Jr. and Jill Stein are bound to bleed off a slew of votes from Joe, Gavin, or whoever the elite pick. Reliable runup polls likely show that. If Trump is leading significantly, his losing narrowly in overnight counts in battleground states will smell of rat. . .
. . . Should Biden or the next-in-line lose, the allegations won’t be cheating, of course, since key battleground states are either bluish or purple bastions. Hillary has teed up the charge, which clues us in to the Democrats’ ’24 battle plan, if needed. She tipped her side’s hand last Wednesday on “The View.”
. . . Hillary’s signaling to blue America is an inadvertent alarm for red America. She’s providing the raison d'être for -- well, let’s say -- “An outpouring of anti-fascist fervor.” . . . In light of Hillary’s comments, what does ’24 look like? . . .
2020 happens again, that’s what, though worse. Antifa and BLM will stoke riots and bloodshed in cities, maybe accusing Jews of dastardly acts against Palestinians. Maybe it’s time to spread mayhem to the ‘burbs? Maybe Democrats commit trademark infringement again, staging Kristallnacht II, sans inauguration day crowds. Then Biden is trotted out. He delivers a national address declaring martial law to quell insurrection. . .
. . . James Woods and a fellow called “2024” had this exchange at X the other day:
Opined “2024”:
Next November will be chaotic. The losing side will cry foul and there will be blood in the streets. We are headed into troubling times like we’ve never seen before. And it is all due to a lack of confidence in our election process. God help us.
Replied Woods:
Once confidence in elections is dead, once the border no longer exists, once a dithering stooge sits in the White House… …you no longer have a country. You are right on the money, sir. I only pray you are armed and well-stocked.

I tend to agree. If Trump miraculously overcomes the now built-in legalized election fraud that the GOP refuses to either acknowledge as a problem or is prepared to deal with insofar as fielding an equal or greater army of ballot harvesters (for starters), let alone overcoming the kangaroo court prosecutions with their predetermined guilty-on-all-counts verdicts, the Democrat-Left goes to war with the ultimate H-bomb level chutzpocrisy of "Stolen Election!" echoing until the end of time.

If Trump likely gets robbed – yet again – the odds of the average American going on a Sherman's March rampage and burning DC to the ground, and every Democrat state capital (and dare I say it deserved and long overdue) are virtually non-existent.

Just to be clear, I am not and do not condone any act of premeditated violence of any kind. Self defense on the other hand is an entirely different matter and I will leave it to you as individuals to decide what constitutes that or likely will constitute that when the shit hits the fan.

Dangerous days ahead. You best gird your loins, pilgrim.

22 If Trump likely gets robbed – yet again – the odds of the average American going on a Sherman's March rampage and burning DC to the ground, and every Democrat state capital (and dare I say it deserved and long overdue) are virtually non-existent.

Just to be clear, I am not and do not condone any act of premeditated violence of any kind. Self defense on the other hand is an entirely different matter and I will leave it to you as individuals to decide what constitutes that or likely will constitute that when the shit hits the fan.

31 While taking from the IRS budget to support Israel is a nice idea; if the Senate will not cooperate, then claw back the money sent to Ukraine in order to redirect said money to Israel. Just don’t create MOAR fiat dollars.

CoLA inflation:

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/APU0200FN1102

I used a google “sheets” spreadsheet and data from the above link to calculate that under under Trump from April 2018 through April 2021, soda (cola) inflation was 8.96%, and under Biden from April 2021 through April 2023, said inflation was 17.12%, for an overall five year inflation rate for soft drinks in 12-packs of 12 ounce cans of 12.16%. My personal definition of inflation is when the value of my investments, (demand deposits plus securities plus equity,) drops as a function of the U.S. money supply as reflected in the cost of real goods … like groceries.

Who has that level of insight and wisdom at 28?

It was a different age and folks weren’t distracted by phones or even TVs so they thought and read and conversed. But already at 28 there was a touch of greatness in Lincoln’s rhetoric…

Trump means to establish a dictatorship on a Hitlerian scale, declared Hillary. Trump, says she, will have his enemies perp walked into the D.C. jail, where they’ll swap places with J6 martyrs. Hillary must wonder about her fate.

In fact, as president, Trump promises to clean out D.C. like they’re Augean stables. For D.C. lifers, Trump might as well pledge to drop a neutron bomb on the city.

Hillary continued: Future elections will be verboten under Trump’s iron-fisted rule. Vox populi goes out the window once Der Führer and his jackboots take control.

Topping things off, Hillary claims that corporate media will be ashcanned. Does Hillary want to convince us that dictatorship has a saving grace?

53 Why men like McConnell and McCarthy can have power that men like Johnson can never have: McConnell has spent decades building up a corrupt donor system from corporations, oligarchs, and many other big money players. (CCP?) This cash is funneled through him *personally * to other Senators, not through their party. If anyone angers McConnell, he cuts off their funding immediately; that's what makes him do strong. McCarthy tried to set up a similar system in the House. Of course this system is deeply corrupt, but it provides power.

Is It Just Me, or does Project 2025 Scare the Crap out of you? The posts about Project 2025 don't seem to be getting much play. It is a bloodless coup d'etat, planned in plain sight.

They stack the Capitol Police, National Guard, prison guards, IRS, FDA, and OSHA etc. with Trump supporters and ultra-conservatives! One of the things that scared me about Kyle Rittenhouse is that he killed white people. For being liberal. For supporting BLM.

This is the start of a dictatorship. Even though I live in a blue state, I don't know how much state laws will protect people.

The media is ignoring Project 2025, a plan to end democracy! Trump announced interment camps for migrants who have lived peacefully in the US for decades. It’s a short step further to use such camps for critics of Trump, his Christo-Fascist regime, and the LGBTQ+ community.

Given the insane NYS criminal laws and regulations whomever was elected would have a nightmare of a job. However the Rep candidate is a better leader, administrator and lawyer. Spit

This will never, ever happen in a million years. Congress will NEVER cede power to the states to deal with an issue enshrined in the Constitution as a federal issue.

85 Trump means to establish a dictatorship on a Hitlerian scale, declared Hillary. Trump, says she, will have his enemies perp walked into the D.C. jail, where they’ll swap places with J6 martyrs. Hillary must wonder about her fate.

In fact, as president, Trump promises to clean out D.C. like they’re Augean stables. For D.C. lifers, Trump might as well pledge to drop a neutron bomb on the city.

Hillary continued: Future elections will be verboten under Trump’s iron-fisted rule. Vox populi goes out the window once Der Führer and his jackboots take control.

Topping things off, Hillary claims that corporate media will be ashcanned. Does Hillary want to convince us that dictatorship has a saving grace?

He passed a CR, because he knows he's got a small army of traitors just waiting to pounce if he doesn't, and he's not been in the role long enough to start sorting them all out. There are worse things, and it's a CR that Biden's swearing he'll veto, so I see it as a game of chicken with some people I REALLY want to see lose.

131 The Road To State-Sanctioned Murder

********
Treatment for rare genetic conditions is expensive. There are basically five ways of allocating money:

1. The individual family allocates their own financial resources toward medical treatment, balanced against other needs,
2. Friends and family rally and offer financial help for medical treatments
3. Charitable organizations raise funds and allocate them for medical treatment via some sort of decision tree or algorithm.
4. Large groups voluntarily pool their money and share the costs of medical treatments on a shared risk framework (private insurance or co-op)
5. Government confiscates taxpayer money and allocates it toward medical treatments via unelected bureaucratic entities (mandatory risk pools).

Setting aside questions of how priice is determined, options 1,2 & 5 are the most heartless.

Charitable organizations and voluntary risk pools (3 & 4) are the most efficient in terms of scale and most compatible with liberty.

Ultimately the one paying the bills makes the decision of what gets paid for. Funding is finite. The NHS denied the family option 3, which was on the table.

138 Here's a problem: even at the suburban public schools I sub at, there are quite a few Muslims enrolled. Virtually no Jewish kids, because Jewish kids generally go to Jewish day schools or other private schools and also because there just are not that many Jewish kids around - they live in certain suburbs and neighborhoods, while Muslims live all over the place. So American kids are now growing up knowing Mohammads and Fatimas, while Jews are an abstraction to them. So I think they'll be increasingly willing to side with the Muslims.

Of course knowing does not mean loving. While Muslim girls are docile to a fault, Muslim boys are often unruly and disrepectful to female teachers. Almost every woman teacher has that problem and it only gets worse as they get older. They just can't accept women authority figures.

Posted by: Red Turban Someguy - The Republic is already dead!

Really? Like what? Congress may cede the decision-making to someone else, but they (and the Fed government) ultimately retain the power. Instead of passing laws, they just let the bureaucracy pass "rules". They let states opt in to fed programs for money...they don't HAVE to, the states have the decision-making authority, but it's really all controlled by the feds.

They may cede some responsibility to other Feds, but giving up power to the states seems pretty rare to my recollection.

Win some races, get some endorsements, build the brand, and be ready for '28.

Nah, just spies tracking all of your "carbon" production and dossiers on you. Did you buy an air conditioner but install it yourself? Better pass your information along to the FBI. We need your location at all times to ensure you're remaining within spec for your fossil fuels consumption. That GPS tracker in your car that tells the IC your exact whereabouts at all times will do the trick.

The only smart play for him (and the republic, but that's not as important as becoming president) was to call Trump and immediately announce that he was the VP candidate the moment the charges started being levied against him.

"This is my president. We cannot let these actions stand. Help us fix this lawlessness."

But what we got is "BREAKING: Ron DeSantis responds to a potential "DeSantis-Haley" or "Haley-DeSantis" ticket "

I almost hope this happens though I think the idea of a gay gene is very unlikely. Why? Because it would be hilarious.

The government would quickly ban testing for it and also ban abortion for "sexuality selection"

And the feminist cohort would argue this was NOT a restriction on abortion. Why? Oh let me give a try at the argument they would make...

Abortion allows women to control their own reproductive choices as opposed to letting hetero-normative men control them. But abortion for sexuality selection just enforces hetero-normative authoritarianism...so of course freedom of choice must all ban this specific reproductive choice.

It makes SOME sense from DeSantis' perspective. DeSantis either believes (or was told) Trump won't be viable, either due to scandals, convictions, whatever. Biden is super weak, so the R candidate has a good shot, and DeSantis was getting very positive press (in conservative circles) before he announced.

Now, if he was told that but R insiders and believes it, THAT should be the scandal he's fighting against, and not rolling with. A Trump/DeSantis tag team ticket bashing the party leadership would be immensely popular, at least among R voters.

Single women leftists hate every part of the conservative agenda. They aren't going to be swayed by having a conservative woman on the ticket.

I suggest Trump pick someone that fights and has accomplished something of note. If that's a woman...sure but that shouldn't be an important concern.

289 I think it would not only be helpful but necessary that we -- certainly whoever wins the nomination -- wargame out how the Left will go berserk if Trump wins. Because of course they will, on scale we've never seen and few will be able to imagine. My overriding critique of Trump in 2016 was his failure to anticipate how vicious and anarchistic would be the Left's reaction to his victory and presidency. He, we, cannot afford this again. He needs a plan.

The problem is that Obama (with W's assist) broke the Balance of Greed in DC between the Dims and Reps and their handlers..

It used to be "we get the graft when we're in" then "You get the graft when you're in". Back and forth. Relatively even

Obama's, at the time, unheard of budget grabs for graft-heavy nonsense made the Reps salivate with greed for their turn (enter Jeb!) which they didn't get(exit Jeb!, enter Trump).

Trump's budgets were also huge but allocated mostly where they were useful to the citizenry as were his policies.

That really made the Reps insane. THeY diD nOT GeEt TheIR BeAKs WeT!!!111!1.

With the consequences we're seeing now.

Democrats always insane with greed and corruption going hog wild and Reps and their backers insane with greed for the same levels of graft and corruption and skimming off the top for them and their's but denied by Trump.

We the citizens can't get back to normal.

My guess is that they go out or they go north. Once finished in the north, the IDF will need to go clear out the south. Tunnels, bunkers. Hamas command, etc. are all down there, too. A lot of it buried under UN infrastructure. In order to turn to the south, the people there will need to be moved. Moving them back into the now-secure north makes a fair amount of sense. They will live among the rubble.

Just one option. I don't know what the IDF is planning for the south, but it will have to be something. If Egypt won't let the Gazans in -and it looks like Egypt won't - then the only thing I can think of that they'll have to go north while the south is razed.

301 The problem with the Reagan/Bush comparisons is that we're now staring down the barrel of seeing how that ended up. Bush was as Deep State as anybody who ever existed, and we absolutely cannot afford to let those people have ANY hold on ANY further nominee. Under Bush, the CIA and their pals were EVIL, sure, but I don't think they had the wherewithal to destroy the country in a fit of pique since they had an existential enemy to manage. I don't know that the current lot wouldn't, after Trump's first term.

You must be joking. Conservative women won't have abortions and will love their child no matter what. Lefty AWFLS are more likely to abort NON gay kids to improve their chance of getting one for clout. Hell, they'll probably do more IVF so they have multiple fetuses to choose from so they can select the gay/non-binary ones.

We watched Trump have no authority, and we're watching Biden do the same and even admit he answers to his bosses.

There was a brief glimpse of what is happening in our federal government, and the re-elected president was removed, is close to being jailed, and people are carrying on as if nothing happened even though they watched it with their own eyes, and even politicians won't say "We've got to address the fraud."

359 I have never heard of Kay Ivey at all. My question was really a legitimate one... Sarah's the ONLY female governor south of the Mason-Dixon line I've heard a single word about. I'm just curious if there IS such a person, because they'd probably be useful.

I don't, for the record, think that there's a chance on EARTH that having a woman on the ticket will convince the AWFL's to vote for Trump. But it might make attacking him from that angle more blunted and keep them from being motivated to show up at all, and be something our squishes can be pointed at to keep them in line. We kinda have to thread that needle too, unfortunately, and I absolutely do NOT want to see those people get a Nikki Haley or someone that they'd like that'll be a disaster for the country.

362 But Gaza is Israel's problem; one of the true causes of this war is that in 2007, Israel tried to walk away from Gaza and pretend it would be OK. It obviously wasn't. Israel can't just walk away or a new Hamas, or Isis, or whatever will arise. And no one will take them , and Israel can not allow it to become a giant death camp. It is a wicked problem; Israel is going to have to do a military occupation and figure out how to set up some kind of provisional Government, while they provide food and security. Not an easy task, probably the biggest reason they found ways to put this war off so long.

428 280 I suggest all read the book by William Safire about the 1980 GOP primary between Reagan and Bush 1. Much worse than Trump/Desantis. Reagan hated Bush, but they needed him for the East Coast states. and it worked

Interesting hypothesis, but I'd speculate that any GOP ticket could have beaten Carter after his miserable performance and the economy. I argue the selection of Shrub V1 was just another example of the GOPe 'compromise' to get a conservative on the ticket.

Reagan originally wanted Paul Laxalt as his running mate. That would have won, and America would have been better for the pick.

The same way they determine sea temperature: averages, taken from a laughably small number of floating sensors. Have sparse data that are also unreliable and then average it with undisclosed correction factors and voila - the number is essentially anything you want it to be.

Or look at a pier that's been standing for a hundred years or more and see if the high water mark is above the current sea level and when the high water mark was reached (it's often stenciled next to it). But there's no funding in that, because there's no apparent crisis if you do it the cheap and sensible way.

I think Alda's biggest movie as the star was "Paper Lion".

It was okay.

I saw "Mephisto Waltz" back in the day and thought it slow but alright. C+/B-. IIRC it had nekkid Jacqueline Bisset, so perhaps that score should be raised.

Alan Alda's big problem, like many TV stars, is that he had little or no screen presence. He always seemed small and weedy on the big screen.

Sure. That's why Trump is doing all the RNC debates.

Trump did not pick her, RNC delegates which are put in their jobs but RNC big money donor, not Trump donors. The RNC left Trump swimming in the breeze after the 2020 election and did nothing to help fight the steal. He is the one candidate running without RNC support.
