The Morning Report — 2/5/24

Good morning, kids. Of course the big story is the Konfederate Kabuki Kongress koming together in bipartisanship – YAY! – to craft a bill that "solves" our border crisis. The good news? It's only 370 pages long so even the Claudine Gay-educated pages and interns can chug a few cases of Jolt! Cola to stay up all night and read the whole thing without Cliffs Notes to tell their bosses if they should like it or not. And, of course, they should. I mean, what's not to like?!

The bill is being marketed as a “national security” bill as it seeks to overcome opposition by Republican legislators whose election depends on the enthusiastic turnout of ordinary populists who are worried about migration’s lawlessness, pocketbook damage, crime, overcrowding, and chaotic diversity.
However, Democrats are touting the bill as a fix for [so-called quote-unquote "president"] Joe Biden’s terrible poll numbers in the 2024 election.
The establishment authors of the bill have largely hidden its contents — along with many possible loopholes, exceptions, modifications, and caveats that can turn apparent restrictions into government-funded welcomes.
The bill was assembled behind closed doors by a tight circle of establishment advocates — and their business donors. They include Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), who appointed three senators to negotiate a plan with the White House.

This "bill" is the COVID-19 injection of mercury-laced absinthe of Jonestown Kool-Aids. Aside from the fact that it allows something like 8,500 illegals to still come in every single day before any so-called "triggers" halt the flow, temporarily, this little nugget shows you how fucking disgusting and despicable this whole charade is:

The bill, negotiated by Sens. James Lankford (R-OK), Chris Murphy (D-CT), and Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ), would give Ukraine nearly $50 billion in U.S. tax dollars to defend its borders from Russian invasion. At the same time, the bill spends just $650 million “to build and reinforce miles and miles of new border wall,” according to Lankford’s office. That funding is likely to build only a couple dozen miles of border wall.

For those not up for math this morning, Ukraine will be getting about 75 times the money that we will supposedly get to "build the dang fence!" as soon-to-be-interred John McCain would say. That is of course assuming that $50 billion doesn't wind up mostly in Zelensky's bank account. Ditto the $650 million dollars winding up mostly in some Left wing organization(s) coffers.

There are more holes in this bill than in Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants sponge of a Swiss cheese of a medulla oblongata. All this is, is as I've highlighted above: fake political cover to show Biden solving the crisis on the border – the number one, far and away, biggest issue of this election. Thing of it is, the crisis is of Biden/Obama's own creation. They intentionally erased the border and any immigration controls to flood the country with nearly 8 million unvetted foreigners, which will probably hit at least 9 million by the time the election day rolls around.

No laws are needed to stop this. We have all the laws in place to stop this now. What we have is a stooge traitor in the Oval Office abrogating his oath of office and endangering our national security and public safety with malice aforethought for political gain. As bad as that is are those who are engaging in this transparent fraud via the kabuki-bukkake theatrics of this "bill" to fix this alleged surprise crisis that supposedly sprang out of nowhere.

Speaker Mike Johnson is declaring it DOA should it pass the Senate and go to the House. Let's hope and pray this is the case. The fact that it is even being taken seriously on our alleged side of the aisle in the Senate is proof positive that the GOP if it isn't dead to us now is barely breathing. Check that. It's un-dead and directly coming after us.

The Dems need 9 RINOs to break the filibuster and pass it. Let's see: McConnell, Romney, Murkowski, Collins, Thune, Blount and Lankford get you 7 surefire Quislings. Graham wants to vote with them but I think is playing his idiocy close to the vest for the moment, despite being a transparent fraud on this issue. They don't call him Grahamnesty for nothing. The other possibles include Ernst, Wicker, Capito and a slew of others who if given the proper motivation, i.e. payoff, will find they too can be bipartisan. Check Conservative Review's Liberty Score at least for the lineup card state by state.

While quite a few governors are standing behind what Greg Abbott is doing in Texas, the entire party should be drawing a giant red line in the sand and declaring a complete moratorium on any and all legislation until the border is sealed and the junta starts rounding up and shipping off everyone they let in since noon on 1/20/21. Of course that's a non-starter.

Meh, why get all worked up? The country is so utterly trashed at this point that it really wouldn't matter much if these amoral criminals dressed up as our representatives did pass this travesty. The damage is done and the republic is dead, for all intents and purposes.

The bottom line is Joe Biden started this and Joe Biden can fix it. Today. With, ironically enough, a pen and a phone. At some point, if he won't do it, then others will be forced to do it. Hello posse comitatus and well-regulate militia. If that happens, then for sure we are in a whole other universe. Maybe that's what's needed. God help us.

And while this insanity is going on unchecked, they're still coming for your children, if not coming in and on them.

A sad video that shows a little boy getting puberty blockers is gaining lots of traction online. It’s a heartbreaking clip, and viewers are calling out the transgender ideology for what it really is: "pure evil."
The video was in response to another video that Libs of TikTok shared in which a doctor explained that transgender “care” for kids is “lifesaving.” The video about the little "girl" now has close to 2 million views. In it, a mother and her 11-year-old son Joseph, who they refer to as “Josie,” visit a transgender specialist named Dr. Olsen, who insists that "Josie" is at a “perfect place” to begin puberty blockers to stop the young boy’s body from going through male puberty.
Research has shown that puberty blockers can and do slow or completely stop the development of a child’s reproductive system, as well as the child’s brain and his or her bones. They can cause irreversible damage, but none of that seemed to alarm Josie's mother enough to not go through with the procedure.
During the video, Josie gets the blockers implanted in his arm and cries out in pain from the injection. . .
. . . Josie’s mother was thrilled.
“A lot of time it strikes me that, had this happened 20 years ago, I wouldn’t have been able to give her blockers and she would’ve had to go through male puberty. That terrifies me. I don’t know that she would have survived male puberty,” the child-abusing mother confessed.
People on X couldn’t agree less.
“This BOY is being abused by the doctor and his mom. They both belong behind bars,” one user wrote. “The mom is 100% a total enabler,” another insisted while one more called it “pure evil.” Even Elon Musk commented an explanation mark to widen the reach of the heartbreaking video.
The video was part of a three-part segment by NBC News back in 2012 detailing how Josie’s parents began his transition around six years old when he was “diagnosed” with gender dysphoria.

This is pure evil. The poor child should be rescued from its sick, twisted parents who deserve a public horsewhipping. Horrible and insane as the parents may be, where the fuck did the doctors do their residency, with Josef Mengele at Birkenau?!

Of course, in topsy-turvy world, it's the parents who object that feel the hobnailed Manolo Blahniks of the State on their windpipes:

The Twitter account Two Genders One Truth summed up the heartbreaking story of the Hannons, based off a UK Daily Mail article. Young Matthew Hannon’s mother began taking the little boy to a transgender “therapist” when he was only five years’ old (note: the Daily Mail said it had changed names for privacy reasons). It is astounding that 17-year-olds are not considered mature enough to drink alcohol, but five-year-olds are supposed to be capable of deciding to damage their bodies and cross dress in pursuit of the fiction that people can change “genders.”
The worst part is, according to Two Genders One Truth, Matthew’s father Dennis didn’t even know his son was being taken to the “therapist”! Matthew’s mother and father were split up, the Daily Mail explained, and though Matthew’s mother put him in girl’s clothes from the age of three, Dennis knew nothing about it, as the boy did not pretend to be a girl with his father. Dennis accuses Matthew’s mother of pushing their son to identify as transgender. . .
. . . “It's very clear to me that it was all about pushing a narrative. Nobody wanted to question the agenda, or even question whether or not somebody actually had gender dysphoria, it was just, because she said that he was confused about his gender, it must be true,” Dennis said, according to the Daily Mail. He accused Matthew’s mother of “shopping around” until she found a therapist who gave her the woke advice she wanted. “My son is a regular little boy, he goes by Matthew. His mother still tries to influence him by using they/them pronouns, and still calls him B, which is short for Ruby,” Dennis said, noting how difficult it has been at school for Matthew following the previous enforced cross-dressing.
Two Genders One Truth explained:

Dennis is now only able to see his son a few hours a week for the crime of protecting him from medical harm. He has spent over $150,000 in legal fees and cannot appeal the decision due to lack of funds.
The Daily Mail reported that Dennis Hannon no longer has joint custody or any medical authority over Matthew. The courts sided with the woke mother against both the child and his father. What happened to Matthew was child abuse — yet his only advocate, his father, was the one punished? The transgender insanity is destroying children’s lives.

The State kidnaps the child from an "abusive" parent and then bankrupts the poor guy in the process, because the process is the punishment. At some point, denying a kid's true gender will be joined by political party affiliation, religious affiliation, internet activity, charitable donations etc. etc. etc. Here come the Soviet era psychiatric institutions and cancer wards that Aleksander Solzhenitsyn warned us about.

In fact it's here now with the J-6 protesters still languishing in the Garland Archipelago, and these individuals who foolishly thought the First Amendment applied to them:

Paul Vaughn, one of six pro-lifers facing over a decade in prison over a peaceful protest, told The Daily Wire on Friday that he was ready to go toe-to-toe with the Biden administration after his conviction of two charges related to the FACE Act on Tuesday.
Vaughn said that the Justice Department was attempting to intimidate pro-lifers through legal force, but that their actions had only galvanized pro-lifers around the country. Vaughn and five others face 10.5 years in prison and hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines after being convicted in federal court of violating the FACE Act and conspiracy against rights secured by the FACE Act.
“I’d say that I was marginally on the sidelines,” Vaughn told The Daily Wire of his involvement in pro-life activism before his trial. “We were doing a little bit of sidewalk counseling, we weren’t trying to do some national event, we weren’t trying to be a big name, we’re just trying to be Christians and just going out and helping a person here and helping a person there, just live our life in such ways to honor God.”
. . . The charges stemmed from a protest that took place in a hallway outside of a Nashville-area abortion provider on March 5, 2021. On that day, a group of demonstrators gathered on the second floor of an office building in the hallway outside the Carafem Health Center Clinic. The group prayed, sang hymns, and urged women showing up to the clinic not to get abortions. . . Both Vaughn and Crampton said that the Biden [junta] was unjustly targeting pro-lifers while attacks on churches and pregnancy resource centers went un-investigated.
“I don’t think the FBI or the DOJ has any stomach to look who did those things if they’re pro-aborts,” Crampton said.

The FBI and DOJ are now nothing more than Gestapo/Stasi like bureaucracies whose primary function, aside from growing their own budgets and power, is the political persecution of unfavored individuals and groups. That is, anything even remotely to the right of Trotsky.

Where's the GOP on these issues? Hello, Lankford?! Pfft.

TEASER:

You'll recall a month or so ago we reported on a shocking poll from the Heartland Institute and Rasmussen showing 1-in-5 respondents admitted to committing some act of voter fraud in 2020. Well, our friend Jim Lakely at Heartland has a blockbuster follow-up:

This Heartland Institute Policy Study applied various levels of mail-in voter fraud to six key swing states in the 2020 presidential election: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.

The study includes data on what overall percentage of votes in those states were mail-in ballots, what percentage of those mail-in ballots went to Biden or Trump, and what percentage of those mail-in ballots for each candidate were fraudulent. We analyzed these six swing states under 29 different scenarios that incorporate different fraud percentages, including the 28.2 percent number as well as every fraud integer from 27 percent down through 1 percent.

Of the 29 scenarios we analyzed, Donald Trump wins the Electoral College in 26 of them. The only levels of mail-in voter fraud in which Joe Biden wins the Electoral College are from 1 to 3 percent. This means that even if the true percentage of fraudulent mail-in ballots were even one-seventh of what our survey found, Trump would still have won.

CBD will have much more on this tomorrow and we'll have Jim Lakely on the podcast later this week.

Stay tuned . . .

33 ‘Shell game’: When private equity comes to town, hospitals can see cutbacks, closures

The sprawling hospital serves the diverse and densely packed Philadelphia suburb of Upland, and a large proportion of its patients earn low incomes. Malone remembers a time when the hospital, once the largest in the county with nearly 500 licensed beds, was such a hub that neighbors would come to the cafeteria just to have dinner.

Now many of the units sit empty. Gone are the pediatric unit, the transplant program and the detox program where Malone used to work. Staff has been reduced and supplies are scarce.

Patients’ rooms in the main building haven’t had television since the cable was disconnected last month, she said.

34 In his co-authored article entitled “Conspiracy Theories,” he suggests that the American government respond to conspiracy theories and “extremist groups” by having government agents secretly get into the groups and “by planting doubts about the theories and stylized facts that circulate within such groups, thereby introducing beneficial cognitive diversity” (page 15). And “once corrective information is introduced” into those groups, “large numbers of people can be shifted to different views” (page 23).

I would rate this a 100% WRONG. My guess is 60 to 70% of the group would know the outsider within a few days.

52 This year, it's CBS that is broadcasting the game. But with the border crisis, the war in Gaza, and his unpopularity, his handlers decided that even an interview with a friendly media outlet was too much of a political risk. In Biden's diminished mental state, he might make a campaign-ending gaffe.

I've been watching presidential campaigns for 52 years and I've never seen a campaign so tightly controlled and media-managed. What makes it even worse is the media's cooperation and acceptance of being pushed around like little children and manipulated by Biden's PR handlers.

Boeing is reworking 50 undelivered 737 MAX jets after a supplier’s employee recently found misdrilled holes on some fuselages, a new production snafu for the aircraft manufacturer.

Spirit AeroSystems, which has been at the center of quality issues affecting 737s, supplied the fuselages.

Somebody at quality control is asleep.

104 The Left wants the 14th Amendment to swallow all of the Constitution that went before it. So a few words have been stretched way beyond its original focused intent.

e.g. "equal protection" has been used to create false equivalency as with gay marriage. Gorsuch fell into this trap and, for all his supposed "brilliance," he's just another shithead in black robes.

As to "insurrection," it's got a simple meaning and means things like starting a civil war, no?

Posted by: LinusVanPelt at February 05, 2024 08:16 AM (1jdMT)

I believe this is social media. Women desire, generally, to be part of the "in" crowd because that provides security.

Once upon a time, a driver of that desire for security would have been her children. Children reaching adulthood provided an additional form of security as they would tend to look after their aged mothers.

Now government does that. Women don't NEED children, or husbands, they only need a "generous" state. This frees the women to seek to be part of a more glamourous "in" crowd via social media. And, right now, social media says that glamour exists for whores and trans.

172 Breitbart:

The much-touted emergency border “shutdown” in the establishment’s Border Act will not be activated unless the president’s homeland security says so, says a clause buried deep in the 280-page bill.

The legal loophole can be seen on page 119:

Whenever the border emergency authority is activated, the Secretary shall have the authority, in the Secretary’s sole and unreviewable discretion, to summarily remove from and prohibit, in whole or in part, entry into the United States of any alien identified in subsection (a)(3) who is subject to such authority in accordance with this subsection.

The loophole converts the supposedly “mandatory” border shutdown into a conditional presidential policy option — that can only be activated when there are many more migrants than during the border emergency declared by President Donald Trump during his first term.

Muslims will often claim they do but...they do not.

Christianity comes straight from Judaism. Jesus was a Jew and obviously the biggest difference between the two is whether you believe he was in fact the Messiah or not.

Muhammed had some exposure to Judaism since there were Jewish tribes in his part of Arabia, and maybe Christianity of some Eastern tradition...but he was no theologian.

He took Judaism and likely some Christianity and combined it with Arabic pagan beliefs to create his religion.

So Islam is no more part of the Jewish/Christian tradition then Bahai...

Excellent and interesting question. I'll opine but not answer. Many claimed adherents of the above Big Three do not worship or even respect any kind of personified God or G-d or anything like it but rather an Energy Source that animates all things and can't be envisioned, personified, or even imagined. In that sense, certain Mystical branches of all of the above DO worship, Revere, or Respect 'the same god' but it's not actually God at all, it's just some vague energy source. Albert Einstein in an excellent example of a Jew who emphatically did not believe in God, a quick perusal of modern Liberal Christian attitudes will reveal many of those do not either, and a quick look at Sufi Islam will show they don't either, but all consider some Energy Source to be the origin of their material and spiritual existence.

216 To clarify about Energy Worship, yes, any Christian or Jew who worships a specifically personified God do worship the same God.
Allah is not personifiable in the majority of interpretations. He is unknowable and undepictable.
From here one gets into the ugly weeds about whether JC was or is God in human form and etc. etc. etc.
I avoid those discussions.
I personally concentrate on the issue of worship of an Energy Source versus a personifiable God.

The new Priest was so nervous at his first mass that he could hardly speak. Before the second week in the pulpit he asked the bishop how he could relax. The Bishop said, "Next week, put some vodka in the water pitcher. After a few sips, everything should run smoothly."

The next Sunday, the new priest put the suggestion into practice and was able to talk up a storm and felt just great. Upon returning to the rectory, however, he found a note from the Bishop...

Next time sip, rather than gulp.
There are 10 Commandments, not 12.
There are 12 Disciples, not 10.
David slew Goliath, he didn't kick the shit out of him.
We do not refer to Jesus Christ and his Apostles as "J.C. and the boys."
Next week there is a taffy pulling contest at St. Peters, not a Peter pulling contest at St. Taffy.
We do not refer to the cross as "The Big T."
We do not refer to the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost as "Big Daddy, Junior and the Spook."
And last, but not least, the recommended way of saying grace is not Rub-a-dub-dub, thanks for the grub, Yea God!"

the 'border crisis' is bullshit. Rightwing bullshit. Rightwing bullshit from the fascist fucks trying to abolish liberal democracy in our country. Perhaps it is STUPID to legitimize their narratives?

Having a secure border is essential for liberal democracy. Illegal immigration depresses wages for our workers and puts stress on our social safety net. The only beneficiaries are big corporations who want cheap labor - not Americans of any color.

What's obvious to everyone is, if something isn't done, we will be on our way to becoming a “shithole countries” tfg raged about.

276 MSNBC correspondent Trymaine Lee met with the voters at a barbershop in Charleston, South Carolina, asking them what “appeal” Trump has among their demographic over Biden.

“Money,” they said.

“Donald Trump has a reputation of being the money man,” voter Anthony Freeman said.

“I just think that Donald Trump, in spite of all the craziness he may have in his head, reading some of the things that he talks about what business I can kind of agree with,” fellow voter Thomas Murray told MSNBC.

“Because I’m trying to grow my business.”

“As far as Biden, I haven’t seen Biden really care about business like that.”

“And my concern is having my business so that I can build generational wealth so my kids can see and have something to take upon when I’m not here,” he added.

282 from LifeSite News -
Eviane Leidig, the European Union (EU)-funded adviser has taken particular aim at “tradwives,” referring to a movement of women who are embracing the role of mother, homemaker, and devoted wife submitted to the leadership of their husbands while opting out of the corporate world.

According to Leidig, tradwives are a threat because they “insidiously” promote so-called “far-right” ideology within the context of attractive and “authentic-looking” videos posted to social media in which they bake bread in pretty aprons and pick flowers from the garden, etc.

314 "Ghost" is just the Germanic loan word (Geist) that originally meant something like "intellect without a body" and it was a general term for both spirits of non-humans (angels, demons, whatever) and human dead. "Spirit" is the Latin-rooted word that originally meant the exact same thing in that language.

In English, they gained specific connotation over time: "ghost" means a dead person manifesting, and "spirit" means an immaterial non-human entity. The switchover from Holy Ghost to Holy Spirit is just reflecting the change in vernacular meaning in English.

The seemingly too scripted climax, Zuckerberg - who funded the 2020 election in certain states - standing & saying, “No one should go through the things that your families have suffered and this is why we invest so much and we are going to continue doing industry-wide efforts to make sure no one has to go through the things your families have had to suffer,” meant what?

IDK. A serious moment, but I could only think of the movie, Gung Ho, because there was such a feeling that it wasn't real. Just like the 'hearing' it stemmed from preceding big budget and border talks.

That is an ... unexpected .... result.

But the link sends me to the original report on the poll, not to the later analysis quoted, so I do not know how they arrived at it.
