The Morning Report

The Morning Report — 2/8/24

Good morning, kids. In the aftermath of the failure to impeach DHS apparatchik Alejandro Mayorkas for his role in allowing the 8 million and counting invasion of unknown, unvetted third world foreigners, ex-GOP Congressman George Santos took to Twitter/X with a three-word Tweet under an image of the House electronic vote scoreboard.

BOOM.

An ongoing problem for the Republicans dating back to the days of black and white television is that the power players in the party have never had a grasp on the importance of messaging and optics. As Ed mentioned, the Mayorkas vote wasn't really about impeachment, it was about sending a message to the voters.
Reps. Tom McClintock (R-Calif.), Ken Buck (R-Colo.), and Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.) are all too stupid to understand that. (Utah Rep. Blake Moore voted no as a procedural move that would allow House Republicans to bring the resolution back to the floor.)
All three "Blah, blah, blahed" all over themselves to explain why they voted no. None of their excuses are valid because there was no reason whatsoever for a Republican to vote against impeaching Mayorkas. None. Zero. Nada. Not a thing.
Former House GOP ne'er-do-well George Santos couldn't wait to troll the failure of his one-time colleagues:

Miss Me Yet?
Why yes, George, I do miss you.
While the Democrats are focused squarely on assaulting our freedoms and shredding the Constitution, I don't really care whether any of the Republicans in Congress are good people or not, just as long as they're consistently voting against tyranny. Something I've often said about presidential candidates applies in this case as well: I don't need a prom date, I need a fighter.
Democrats in Congress are harboring raging anti-Semites, terrorist sympathizers, and commies; George Santos is practically an archangel compared to them.
This isn't really about George Santos, though. It's about the fact that when things count the most, Republicans reflexively begin forming a circular firing squad and using "principles" as a justification for it.

It's not about "principles" or stupidity or anything like that. It's about collusion with the Democrat-Left for both the chance to wear the dubious title of "Elitist 2nd Class" and more crucially to take a payoff that helps the Left continue to destroy the republic and the citizenry. Yet aside from that last paragraph Stephen Kruiser is dead on target with this and has phrased it perfectly.

More than merely fighters, we need fighters who understand who and what they are fighting for. The GOP as it is constituted today is fighting for the right to make a buck off the destruction of this country. Sadly, this attitude goes back over 70 years to President Eisenhower. During a time of unprecedented postwar prosperity, along with his near deification as a war hero, he had the political wind at his back to at least make a concerted effort to roll back some or even most of the disastrous encroachments on our liberty of FDR's New Deal.

Of course, in his farewell speech that warned of a "military industrial complex," perhaps he understood what it would have meant to oppose them. Because what he labeled the military industrial complex is what we now know today to be "The Deep State." And look what it's doing to Donald Trump and a growing segment of the population opposed to its power.

Since then, the bureaucracy has only metastasized in scope, power and influence by leaps and bounds with LBJ's Great Society capped off by the seizure of one sixth of our economy, the healthcare/insurance sector via Obama's Hope and Change. It should be noted that as bad as Democrat administrations have been in utilizing the Deep State to erode our freedoms, the worst offenders of all were Republicans Richard Nixon who gave us the EPA and OSHA, and George W. Bush with the DHS.

That would be the same Department of Homeland Security which Alejandro Mayorkas remains at the top as Reichsminister, and who oversees the Obama/Biden operation that has erased our borders and threatens to erase our national identity. Homeland Security, indeed.

In a strange way, I'm kind of disappointed that Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants and his handlers are waiting until after the election to go down to Texas to likely arrest Greg Abbott and Ken Paxton, and perhaps revoke Texas' statehood over (don't vomit) insurrection.

“You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that: it’s an opportunity to do things that you think you could not do before.” — Rahm Emanuel, Obama White House chief of staff
Ah, from the lips of the take-no-prisoners “Rahmbo” (who once reportedly delivered a dead fish to a tardy pollster) to the ears of 25 U.S. governors.
That’s 25, count ‘em, state bosses – one complete half. Who recently joined together in a declaring their defiance of the Feds over the current usurper administration’s “All-ee, all-ee in free” approach to the southern border. Exacerbated by the actions of the arrogant Bidenites in “attack(ing) and su(ing) Texas for stepping up to protect American citizens from historic levels of illegal immigrants, deadly drugs like fentanyl, and terrorists entering our country.”
The result of which was the Supreme Court’s recent 5-4 punt of that suit, delivering to the administration the snippers to remove razor wire the Lone Star Staters had positioned on the boundary in a desperate attempt to stem the flow of migrants.
Hmmm. A little over three years ago, this commentator noted that a “spurned lawsuit,” initiated by none other than Texas and bringing together 18 states to allege a stolen presidency, provided “a potential stepping stone” from which “it’s only a hop, skip and a jump to the Declaration of Dissolution previously suggested in this space.”
It’s not just the number of nose-thumbing states that is elevated this time around. It’s the rhetoric – and potentially Rahmbo-esque implications. “Republican Governors Band Together” read the headline on the guvs’ communique. You mean, like “Join or Die?”
And more consequential, this central assertion: “The Biden Administration has abdicated its constitutional compact duties to the states” (emphasis added). . .
. . . The governors “stand in solidarity with our fellow Governor, Greg Abbott, and the State of Texas in utilizing every tool and strategy, including razor wire fences, to secure the border.” “Stand in solidarity?” Them’s “compact” words (and we don’t mean small). And words aren’t the only way Republican governors are “hanging together” to stick it to Washington. Red-state commanders in chief have been dispatching troops and troopers to the border for many moons. Now, recent presidential-race-departee Ron DeSantis is rushing 1,000 “reinforcements” westward from the Sunshine State. . .
. . . Which brings us back to the Machiavellian counsel of Mr. Emanuel, whose somewhat-more-than-cheeky desk nameplate read “Undersecretary of Go F— Yourself.” If one were to engage in a word association exercise anywhere in America today, who wouldn’t respond to the term “border” with “crisis,” if not “serious crisis?” (As the fictional Col. Nathan Jessup might have put it, “Is there another kind?") . . .
. . . Let’s see. We have a “serious” fiscal, social and national security catastrophe. The fact that untrammeled immigration has risen to become Americans’ number one concern. And the reality that 50% of the nation’s governors have seized the occasion to vault up right up to the line of voiding and replacing America’s “constitutional compact” . . .
. . . Emanuel’s Prairie State predecessor, Abraham Lincoln, averred that the nation could not “endure permanently half slave and half free.” Today’s America cannot endure with its venal, reality-rejecting, wealth-sucking woke half permanently dictating to and impermissibly burdening, persecuting and outright endangering the sound, stable and productive cohort.
The opportunity now presents itself for the leaders representing the latter half to go full Rahmbo before it’s too late to save any of us. Take the logical next step: declare not just the “constitutional compact,” but the union dissolved.

Again, BOOM.

Trump or no Trump, elections rigged or otherwise are not going to mend both the divide between Americans and anti-amerikkans nor the now virtually impossible to dismantle Deep State bureaucracy that wields the actual power via regulations that almost never are reversed in an increasingly corrupt judiciary that acts as their rubber stamp.

Please do not misconstrue my sentiments as a call for violence. What is painfully obvious is that we are now in the latter part of the phrase of "What cannot go on will not go on."

For sure it won't. How the "will not go on" plays out is anyone's guess.

ABOVE THE FOLD, BREAKING, NOTEWORTHY

"When the criminal is really a victim, those he abuses have no right to defend themselves. Self-defense codes enshrine into law that the criminal deserves to suffer at the hands of those around him in society, adding to the hierarchy of injustice that oppresses him. It perpetuates the so-called 'cycle of oppression' the left aims to dismantle. In other words, cracking down on self-defense serves the same function as going easy on crime: building a new morality of the oppressed, with a new aristocracy at the top."
Why Self-Defense is the Only Type of Violence the Left Won’t Endorse
"Will GOP governors go full Rahmbo and move from border defiance to dissolution? . . . Today’s America cannot endure with its venal, reality-rejecting, wealth-sucking woke half permanently dictating to and impermissibly burdening, persecuting and outright endangering the sound, stable and productive cohort. The opportunity now presents itself for the leaders representing the latter half to go full Rahmbo before it’s too late to save any of us. Take the logical next step: declare not just the 'constitutional compact,' but the union dissolved." (That last sentence. Whoa - jjs)

Crisis? What Crisis?! Report: Border Agents Encountered Over 1,000,000 Migrants Since Oct. 1
Victor Davis Hanson: "It remains unclear why Biden and Homeland Security Chief Alejandro Mayorkas destroyed what Trump had achieved. Why would they ensure such misery for both Americans and millions of illegal migrants? . . . why some establishment Republicans aided and abetted these disingenuous efforts is yet another reminder why the doctrinaire Republican Party had to be reinvented by Donald Trump."
The Absurd Democrat Border Con
Ann Coulter: "Fortunately, a vote on Mayorkas’ impeachment can be brought up again, and, if Republicans aren’t trying to lose, it should be. Over and over and over again. . . Make them vote. Mayorkas [and Biden!!!] is entirely responsible for the invasion. Will Democrats vote to keep him in office? How about Sens. Sherrod Brown (Ohio), Kyrsten Sinema (Arizona), Bob Casey (Pennsylvania), Jacky Rosen (Nevada) and Tammy Baldwin (Wisconsin) — all up for reelection in conservative or semi-conservative states? Could you at least put them in a difficult position, Republicans? If the House impeaches, Senate Democrats will be required to express an opinion. Either they vote to remove Mayorkas, or they admit they don’t give a crap about our wide open border. That’s a gift to every Republican running for office this year."
Impeach Him Again
“I don’t think anyone is buying it. Everyone understands this all changed dramatically when he walked into the White House. Now, we’ve shown, and we continue to show the American people step-by-step, how he and Mayorkas orchestrated this. . . The idea that he could blame Republicans for the catastrophe they created is laughable. It’s time for him to take ownership.”
Speaker Mike Johnson: Biden Speech Blaming Trump, "MAGA Republicans" for Border Was "Offensive"
“Some of my democratic colleagues say Republicans welched on a deal. There was no deal to welch on.

He did the best he could negotiating with people that support an open border, he brought the product back to us in the Republican conference, in the Senate. We said, ‘James, we appreciate your hard work, but this is not sufficient.’ That’s what happened.”

Sustainable economic expansion depends ultimately on private-sector economic activity, not government stimulus. This is the economic equivalent of a sugar high, after which a crash usually comes.

Since then, the bureaucracy has only metastasized in scope, power and influence by leaps and bounds with LBJ's Great Society capped off by the seizure of one sixth of our economy, the healthcare/insurance sector via Obama's Hope and Change.

24 They form a circular firing squad, all right. Like with Conestoga wagons, firing outward to kill any outlier. Same with Dems.

The idea that there is some sort of fractious nature to the Uniparty is a classic example of missing the forest for the trees.

People see the ferocious, shrieking discord in DC, the smears, the frameups, the murders, the blackmail, the bribes, all the pure hatred and think "wow, these people really can't get along."

But they somehow overlook the part where it's always hundreds of down-the-line establishment apparatchiks handily annihilating a handful of refuseniks liked crazed chimps, and then getting right back to their mutual love-in.

30 I’m sure y’all know the story. Someone wanted US Grant out of command (for drunkenness or some complaint) and was urging Abe Lincoln to can him. Lincoln’s response: I can’t spare this man. He fights.

That’s a good summary of Trump and why so many voters are sticking with him (to the dismay of so many observers both republican and democrat). It’s no longer and left v right or donk v elephant…. It’s tyranny v freedom. Trump is on the side of freedom and he fights. Precious few fighters on our side.

The irony: If the left hadn’t gone full meltdown in 2016 when Trump won… if they would’ve flattered him and accepted him I strongly suspect he would’ve governed similar to Bill Clinton. But with all their TDS they’ve potentially created a beast mode Donald. One can hope

36 Propaganda radio had a panic story this morning about the sudden reappearance of measles in elementary schools and the increase in unvaccinated kids, supposedly in the hundreds of thousands. Which is really weird because my kids and most Americans are required to have their kids vaccinated to get them registered. Although there is one group notoriously exempt who are given a free pass as long as they promise to take care of it later (much like their deportation hearings.)

Needless to say, experts are mystified but think it is related to anti-govt paranoia and misinformation. I wonder if any of these child experts actually have kids.

Sometimes I have to admire how the regime propaganda can manage to twist a story 180 degrees from the truth.

68 Sometimes I have to admire how the regime propaganda can manage to twist a story 180 degrees from the truth.

The rhetoric comes in different flavors. Take the following statement:
"One side wants chaos, the other fights for our democracy"

Either "side" can make that claim and be factually correct because they don't identify the "side". The listener eisegetes the "sides" according to their team membership and personal ideology. (some may admit to wanting chaos and anarchy)

The other is using the words "chaos" and "democracy" as emotional trigger words rather than processing their dictionary meaning. In the case of this generation, many people use the words but don't know their meaning and thus rely on mimesis to condition their response.

70 Such great comprehensive work every day! Thank you.

I did notice an opinion piece in the NYT this morning about Bukele Hilariously overwrought and nostalgic for the days when criminal gangs terrorized El Salvadorans in the streets, the piece laments Bukele's step back from democracy as evidenced by:

"Government critics told us they have been threatened with prosecution, and journalists have been spied on. Even last Sunday’s vote is under a microscope after the transmission system for the results of the preliminary vote count collapsed in a highly unusual manner."

In what alternate reality have these clueless idiots been living?

Many options there. I think it boils down to a trio:

1. Continued expansion of tyranny and theft until the system starts to go broke and break down, followed by a long decline where major elements like power and transport infrastructure begin to fail at scale and poverty explodes, but nonetheless the Party essentially retains power and rules the increasing chaos (South Africa, so far).
2. War (with a nullification that does *not* result in war a distant subordinate possibility)
3. Fiscal and/or monetary collapse resulting in dissolution

My only concern is that of these 25 governors supporting Abbott, which of them are truly committed to the just cause that Texas is pursuing and which of them are merely doing it for purely "look at me" purposes.
I share that thought due to the fact that governors like Bill Lee (TN) and Tate Reeves (MS) are Chamber of Commerce guys and can't be trusted. And then there's the poster child of good-ole-boyism, Brian Kemp (GA) and he certainly can't be trusted as he's a fucking scumbag. These three govs in particular need their feet held close to the fire during this crisis as all of them can be bought. I'd even say watch out for Kay Ivey (AL) as I don't trust her either.

162 The Biden administration’s failures put countless lives at stake on the ground, and the best a lot of Democratic representatives could do was ask their Republican counterparts to save the lives of their constituents. In one poignant case, a Democratic congressman relied on a GOP office active in the evacuation of American citizens to evacuate a bus full of nuns from Afghanistan, those who worked on the evacuation confirmed to The Spectator.

While Democrats were more than willing to acknowledge the failures on the ground to their Republican counterparts behind the scenes, the Democratic Party marched publicly in lockstep with the White House — causing Republicans huge consternation. “Fuck them,” one of the GOP staff working on rescuing Americans said of his counterparts on the other side of the aisle. “They wanted their constituents out, just wanted us to do it for them once they realized the White House lied to everybody. And the omertà is always in force. Expose Biden and you might as well burn a Qur’an in Mecca.”

And the government and FNM coddled them. Hell when Oprah, Queen of the AWFLs, made the guy claiming vaccines caused autism an international superstar the government spent years carefully studying his results.

Compare that with the clot shot. Which doesn't stop the spread and if it does minimally reduce symptoms of COVID has far more serious long term dangers then COVID...

LOL. Yeah.

Just a reminder that the French rail company that California hired to come do the project decided after a couple of years to break the contract and quit. They cited too much corruption, too many regulations, too little executive accountability, etc. Basically, they thought that the level of dysfunction was so great that they saw no future for the project and bailed. They wanted to free up their people and other resources to go work on rail projects in better places where they could actually build a railroad.

They started - and finished - a railroad in Morocco after ditching the California rail project. California is more dysfunctional than Morocco.

Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

Yes.

The global supply chain means damn near nothing "made in Country X" is entirely assembled in Country X with parts made in Country X out of raw materials sourced in Country X. The stuff made in Mexico - like the stuff made in the US or Canada - will have tons of components, sub-assemblies, etc. from Asia, Europe, the Americas, etc. Nobody has a unified national or even regional industrial chain.

That is slowly changing, but it will take time. The global integration of all things and the world of "anything you need, from anywhere it is, reliably delivered at low price" is ending. It's becoming too unstable. Eventually, most of what's made in Mexico (or the US or Canada) is going to be made from parts, assemblies and materials from this continent and likely some or all of South America and the integrated economy will be a regional bloc, not a global one.

But that day is not today.

You are correct there is a major split in the politics of Jews that actually follow Judaism and those that just view themselves as just an ethnic minority.

Jews in political leadership positions are like whites in political leadership positions. They'll gladly sell out their own people for a bit more money, a bit more power, and a promise that THEIR families will be safe.

The fact that a lot of the Dem leadership is Jewish doesn't prevent the Dems from being anti-Semitic.

213 (LifeSiteNews) — The mother of a Michigan woman who was given Remdesivir and died after being forced onto a ventilator is raising funds for a wrongful death lawsuit.
*snip*
Schlipp told LifeSite that the hospital basically kidnapped Jessica, isolated her from her husband, and gave her treatments that not only weren’t necessary but against her explicit wishes.

“She went to the urgent care facility after her blood oxygen level fell into the 80s following a bout with pneumonia, which her primary care doctor said could be bad for her baby. She arrived and they immediately took her away from her husband Matt, who was denied entrance. He didn’t get a chance to speak to her until several days later,”

Other than a potential airing of dirty laundry and public admonishments of incompetence, even if the individual is somehow removed from office another, equally bad politician takes their place.

A funny part of this - Reagan embraced the "can't they both lose ideology" but if you tracked the left's take on this over the years it was hilarious.

When the US was an odds with Iran it was "Reagan should have helped out progressive friend Saddam Hussein not those theocrats in Iran!"

And then when we went to war with Iraq it became "We always opposed Reagan helping that vicious butcher Saddam Hussein against those oppressed Iranians"

and they've bounced back and forth between those two positions for years...

I am not surprised Walgreens is throwing in the towel with only double the crime likely given that it's the new dumping ground for illegals.

Speaker Johnson planned the vote for Tuesday because he thought the Democrats would be down a vote while Green was in surgery. Johnson, in the most ghoulish way imaginable, tried to exploit a member of Congress's emergency surgery in order to pull a political stunt in the House of Representatives.

Every recent GOP Speaker is worse than the one that came before. Ryan outdid Boehner. McCarthy outdid Ryan. And now Johnson is making McCarthy (in the words of Rick Wilson) look like he knew what he was doing.

I'll bet Johnson prayed to Jesus for Al Green to die in the hospital. Moses Johnson, it looks like God wanted Rep. Green to be there to thwart your Satanic motivations!

Al Green's vote is among the top for Rep's who were ill and insisted on doing their duty! Began with Caesar Rodney, in the Continental Congress. John McCain's vote against Trump.

And to our everlasting disgrace, America is now standing aside, politically paralyzed, watching Ukraine crumble under Putin’s fist as it defends the democratic values we claim as our own...Ukraine needs our help, but Donald Trump and his minions in Congress have made it clear that they are ready to let it fall to Putin.

IIRC its unknown. The rulers seem to have converted based on commentary that has survived to this day and they had Jewish sounding names. Previously the Khazars, like other Steppe groups, followed various pagan religions, and the Khazars seemed to have maintained ok relations with them.

The argument for their conversion I've seen is that they were tired of attacks from the Muslims and figured adopting a "religion of the book" would protect them but...Christianity would mean submitting somewhat to the Byzantines and Islam was out of the question so...Judaism it was...

352 The "Bill to Fix Immigration" may have been designed to Blame Republicans, but it will surely backfire on closer examination.

All it really did was fund wars and give more money to open doors wider and faster for illegals from any nation to get on our welfare system, plus allow them to work.

Metro-Denver has over 3M people, and complain about their 40,000 illegals (1.3%). But 7+ million illegals out of 320M Americans is 2.2%. So very Hispanic Denver is not even getting their "fair share".

I'm guessing it is the border states that still get the biggest percentage of "invaders", and the Dem junta demands they continue the invasion till their are no more red states (and they break the whole system).

It's not YOUR ally, it's not my ally, but it is an ally to "our democracy."

368 The argument for their conversion I've seen is that they were tired of attacks from the Muslims and figured adopting a "religion of the book" would protect them but...Christianity would mean submitting somewhat to the Byzantines and Islam was out of the question so...Judaism it was...

373 He resigned as judge after GWB did not pick him for the two vacancies for Scotus.

Like Posner (or Garland for that matter), Luttig went sour because he did not get what he wanted out of his legal career-a Scotus seat. Wilkinson is another one.

Are you trying to suggest the legal profession is not all about interpreting and implementing the laws of this nation? That it's more about self-aggrandizement??

I can't believe. I SHAN'T believe it.

386 “More than merely fighters, we need fighters who understand who and what they are fighting for”

Who am I fighting for again? It’s bad enough that my own GOP leaders are constantly betraying me, but now I’m being falsely accused of Stolen Valor by Sarah Hoyt and I can’t find anyone to stand up for me - a former US Marine, 0313, all I’m asking is that she look at my DD214

387 and issue a retraction apologizing for calling me a fake Marine. And I can’t get anyone to help me. And I’m trying to handle this in the civil manner instead of killing her. Why should I fight with people who won’t fight for me?

There was a time a Marine didn’t need to ask for help. Because all the people who said “thank you for your service” actually meant it.

390 The VichyGOP are clueless. Last month I got an *URGENT* email begging me to attend an in-person meeting that happened three days before they sent the email. Now they send an *URGENT* email begging for money to protect the 2A even though they got nearly swept in the last state-wide elections. Somehow, me sending them money now is going to effect the way radical, extreme Democrats are going to vote during the current session.

391 So, Biden intends to send the Alaskan National Guard to Texas in "early 2025." Could that be early January, 2025, before Trump's inauguration? War game (pun intended) that out...shots fired, but by which side first? I'm seeing martial law and the corporate media leveraging propaganda to insist a military takeover is the only answer, that a Trump presidency is too dangerous to entertain.
