The Morning Report — 3/14/24

Good morning, kids. The ideologically-driven abject incompetence of Foggy Bottom combined with the dementia-fueled incontinence of Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants are flailing about, desperately trying to put out multiple global conflagrations – all of which they either started or played a major role in exacerbating – with gasoline. If only they could have successfully abolished rhetorical fossil fuels before they seized power three years ago and replaced it with rhetorical green energy perhaps the world would've been much less rhetorically combustible, rhetorical EV batteries notwithstanding.

The first hot spot is right here in our own backyard. Haiti, where the president for life for this week, Ariel Henry is gone, replaced by one Jimmy “Barbeque” Cherizier, a former police officer who is accused of mass murder, arson, rape and even cannibalism who, along with roving gangs of armed thugs is now running the show. That is, if mass murder, arson, rape and cannibalism is a form of governance. Meh, who am I to judge, n'est ce pas?

Meddling in Haiti is hardly a new idea for Foggy Bottom. After our two-decade 20th-century occupation ended in 1934, the U.S. treated Haiti like other Caribbean countries during the Cold War, strategically controlling their politics to prevent Soviet influence from expanding within striking distance. Now, of course, to even the most cold-blooded realist, Haiti’s close proximity remains relevant.

This is what almost nobody admits about the current unrest. According to his own former special envoy to Haiti, [spurious] President Biden’s “chief reason” for backing Ariel Henry was the new president’s “malleability and the fact that he agreed that he would take all the deportees that they wanted to send.” This was reported in September of 2022 by Todd Bensman in the New York Post, though Biden faced little scrutiny over the blockbuster revelation as Henry’s Haiti descended deeper and deeper into the depths of suffering. . .

. . . Fearful of backlash from the left, Biden is routing more and more migrants with dubious asylum claims through legal pathways of entry, incentivizing millions of economic migrants to pay cartel smuggling fees for access. (Make no mistake, every migrant pays.) This is destabilizing countries from Chile to Mexico, clouding pathways for people fleeing violence with legitimate asylum claims, and boosting cartel control of Latin America. Honduras and the Dominican Republic, for example, have been coping with an influx of migrants immediately fleeing Haiti.

Counterproductive is truly the best descriptor for a policy that encourages migrants to empower cartels that destabilize the region, in turn, sending more people to our own border. Biden’s short-term priority, though, is not to stabilize the region. It’s to secure his own political power, which Democrats believe will be harmed by enacting serious reforms to the asylum process. (If he actually implemented Remain in Mexico tomorrow, his base would be furious, but migration would gradually slow cartels’ human smuggling to a relative trickle.)

Lest we forget the over $5 billion dollars in American "relief" money that has been mindlessly dumped into Haiti since an earthquake struck – over 14 years ago! Much of it wound up in the pockets of the elite thugs like ex-president Henry and his multiple predecessors, current "President" Barbeque and mostly into the back accounts of everyone's favorite kleptocrat global citizens, Hilary and Bill Clinton. And the money continues to flow despite Haitian happy meals of two "Barbeque'd" thighs, a breast and a hush puppy (for Obama) consumed con gusto. I'd say, you want fries with that, but "fries" is implied. Literally.

And while American boots are supposedly on the ground to evacuate embassy personnel, Biden had this message of hope for ordinary citizens stuck in the carnage:

American missionaries trapped in Haiti pleaded for rescue on Tuesday, reporting constant gunfire around their hideaway and corpses rotting in the streets. The group’s leader said the only assistance they have received from the Biden [junta] was advice to “be safe.”

“Okay, well, that’s not really helpful,” Jill Dolan of the group Love A Neighbor said of the response she received from the U.S. Embassy when she asked for help getting her family out of Haiti. . .

. . . The other missionaries also spoke of being abandoned by the Biden [junta], which seemed able to do little beyond evacuating staffers from the U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince.

“Nobody’s reached out to us or anything. And then, of course, when we saw the non-essential workers get picked up, we were thinking, ‘Well, maybe they’re going to come back and start evacuating Port-au-Prince and then have a plane for everyone else,’” said Miriam Cinotti, who came to Haiti on a mission to rescue young women from gang violence.

“We’re worried because we’re in a country where we don’t know what’s going to happen. It’s unpredictable what’s going on; we don’t know,” said a missionary who used only her first name, Lynn. . .

. . . Congressional Republicans are increasingly critical of Biden’s paralysis in the face of the Haitian disaster, especially since people outside of the multi-trillion-dollar administration are, once more, stepping up to arrange rescue missions, as they did following Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.

*Robert Plant voice*: "Does anyone remember Afghanistan?!" Or for that matter, considering Hilary Clinton, Benghazi?

If I were a hard-bitten cynic, I'd say the Junta could care fuck-all about these people, especially since they are religious Christians. Then again, it's rank incompetence that is fueled by cold political calculus as is laid bare in the first pull quote vis a vis immigration policy. One would think actually rescuing Americans would be good optics for Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants, especially since by all indications he is headed for a massive electoral wipeout come November (Dao-Min Yen and the traitors at CIA/DOJ notwithstanding). But no. let the Bible-thumping Jesus freaks fend for themselves, lest we piss off homosexuals, pedophiles, transexuals, Muslims and homo-pedo-tranny-jihadis which comprise the core of the Democrat Party base these days.

Yup, no Marines coming to the rescue of American citizens trapped in a bloody civil war, but at least they're on the way to come to the rescue of . . . Hamas terrorists!

Six Americans are still being held hostage by Hamas, and Biden has sent no troops to help them, but at the State of the Union address, he promised to send troops to build a pier for Gaza.

The estimated over 1,000 troops will spend as long as 2 months laboring to build a floating pier in a war zone under potential attack to help transfer aid to the Hamas supporters living in Gaza. Nothing about this plan makes sense.

The media has taken to falsely claiming that the Arab Muslims occupying parts of Gaza are starving. Vice President Kamala Harris attacked Israel, claiming that she had “seen reports of families eating leaves or animal feed.” Social media videos however show the locals gorging themselves on shawarma and other foods in preparation for the Islamic period of Ramadan.

But if the Biden [junta] really believed that Gazans were starving right now, what would be the purpose of spending two months building a pier to deliver aid? A program with a two month lead time will not help people who are starving right now. It would be a grim joke. And the pier plan only gets stranger from there. . .

. . . the Biden [junta] does not actually believe that the Arab Muslim occupiers in Gaza are starving, let alone starving to death, otherwise it would be doing more than air dropping 11,000 meals and promising to have meal delivery running in 60 days. The temporary pier setup is about bypassing Israel to provide long term access to Gaza.

While [junta] officials describe the pier as “temporary”, a senior official also admitted that “we look forward to the port transitioning to a commercially operated facility over time.” That means it’s not actually meant to be temporary, but a permanent port for the terrorists. . .

. . . So what we know about the temporary pier to safely deliver supplies into Gaza is that it’s not temporary and the administration is taking no responsibility for the safety of the aid deliveries. So what is the permanent pier actually for? . . .

. . . The Biden [junta] is creating a gateway to Gaza that Israel isn’t supposed to control. The Trojan pier is not only about bypassing Israel, but also Egypt. The administration’s vision is that the new arrangement will allow it to directly move materials into Gaza without having to get permission from either Israel or Egypt. And that’s a major victory for the terrorists. . .

. . . The United States spent American lives bailing out Iraqi Shiites and Syrian Sunnis only to have them kill Americans. Obama’s Arab Spring toppled Yemen’s government and turned the Red Sea into a terror zone for international shipping. The Iran Deal gave the terror regime in Tehran billions of dollars that it used to wage war across the region. And the Biden [junta] helped negotiate the deals to appease Hamas that led directly to the Oct 7 atrocities. After all that, the Biden [junta] wants to open up Gaza to the rest of the world.

By "opening up Gaza to the rest of the world," it opens up the rest of the world to Iranian-backed Islamic terrorism. The immediate goal is to try and secure what the junta perceives as its domestic base abandoning them this coming November for their, in fact, spurious support of Israel. The anti-Bibi rhetoric and the attempt to foment a color revolution via Foggy Bottom and perhaps the CIA is probably not going to work. Contra the propaganda that Israelis are angry about Netanyahu and his handling of the situation, the opposite is true. Israelis have rallied behind him in a big way. So trying to bring him down before November is not going to happen.

There is also the long-term goal of helping Iran and its puppets the PLO, Hamas and Hezbollah destroy the state of Israel, and thereby enable Foggy Bottom's wet dream of supplanting Israel with Iran as the main regional power of the entire Middle East. The body count in Israel, and indeed the rest of the Middle East and here in America will be orders of magnitude greater than what happened on 10/7 and indeed since Foggy Bottom and Jimmy Carter abandoned the Shah of Iran and helped the Mullahs hijack Iran 45 years ago.

On a somewhat positive note, the Iranian citizenry's massive boycotting of recent obviously rigged elections is causing much wetting of burqas and panic amongst the mullahocracy.

On a negative note, the Mullahs seem to have all the components ready to assemble not just one but several nuclear bombs. That is a red line that, unlike Obama, Biden and Blinken, the Israelis for sure will not allow to be crossed. And given this US pier in Gaza is tantamount to giving major aid and comfort to its existential enemy, will the IDF allow that to become operational?

Yikes.

Much of it wound up in the pockets of the elite thugs like ex-president Henry and his multiple predecessors, current "President" Barbeque and mostly into the back accounts of everyone's favorite kleptocrat global citizens, Hilary and Bill Clinton.

Some vast store of gold has been found in Haiti. Someone with the last name of 'Rodham' is involved in the exploitation of the resource. That name seems vaguely familiar. Can't quite put my finger on it.

18 Dolan and her family are holed up in a “makeshift motel” in the capital city of Port-au-Prince, where the worst battles of Haiti’s immense gang war have been fought. She and her family founded Love a Neighbor — a nonprofit missionary charity, based in Washington State — to help manage a small orphanage for children abandoned or sold by their impoverished parents.

Back in 1994 California voters adopted a referendum banning benefits to illegals, only to have it overturned by a friendly lower federal court invoking the 14th. Purposefully, this decision wasn't appealed by the State, thus thwarting the will of the California electorate for all time. Prophetically, at the time it was popularly called the "Save our State" refeferendum.

60 By "opening up Gaza to the rest of the world," it opens up the rest of the world to Iranian-backed Islamic terrorism. The immediate goal is to try and secure what the junta perceives as its domestic base abandoning them this coming November for their, in fact, spurious support of Israel.
++++
The base is split. Our Intrepid Liaison shows us that almost daily. The DU and Daily Kos types are fighting each other over it.

The Dems are on a tightrope over this, largely split by age and locality. But that's only part of the problem. All but the most radical youth are probably with them even if they support Israel. But the most radical youth are noisy and, vitally, so are the Muslims. That Muslim vote is also pretty damn important.

In places like Missouri, it probably doesn't matter - MO is going to go for Trump and there probably aren't going to be significant down-ticket pickups in that state. Michigan, however, is another story and so is Minnesota. Michigan is on a razor's edge, and Muslims disengaging could cause the state to flip back to the GOP, even down-ticket.

I think this is the Party risking exacerbating the split in its base to shore up Michigan and Minnesota.

Conduct yourselves wisely toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunity. Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you know how you should respond to each one."

Blacker than any black in the school. And belligerent. They fought with everyone.

Surprising nobody but hopium-addicted Wall Street analysts.

I've been saying for months that, politics be damned, we will see at most two smallest-possible rate cuts this year, if that, with good odds of actual increases.

PPI is way too hot. CPI will stay way too hot (it's downstream of PPI). The basic problem - malinvestment on one side, deficit spending on the other - has not been solved. Malinvestment is getting a tiny bit better, but deficits are completely out of hand. Deficits are directly inflationary and always have been. The days of being able to pretend otherwise thanks to global trade flows are over.

So keep raising rates. That's still needed. But until the government quits spending more than it takes in, this problem does not go away. It can be mediated somewhat by rates, but not solved.

So it ain't going to be solved.

"A Jewish man carrying an Israeli flag was assaulted on Monday evening in Chicago as he walked to a screening of "Nova," a documentary about the October 7th Hamas massacre at the Nova Music Festival.

"The man, who did not wish to be identified, told ABC 7: "I did not say anything to anyone, as we walked up I did not look at anyone, I did not give anyone the finger, I simply walked up holding an Israeli flag."

One protester tried to yank the flag from his hand and he was attacked by several protesters. According to him, the group threw him into a parked car and started punching him in the head."

166 @SenSanders: Israel is blocking humanitarian aid in clear violation of U.S. law, which prohibits military assistance to any country that restricts U.S. humanitarian aid. It’s time we enforce our laws and stop military assistance to Israel.

Why doesn't Hamas release the hostages? Israel is just playing a role that Hamas is dictating. It's not hard to understand.

Hamas is responsible for October 7th, but history didn't stop on that day, and it won't stop before November, and I damn sure wouldn't want to be a President trying to win a reelection selling your message.

Some people think that history stopped with the Holocaust--and that the third or fourth generation of their descendants are therefore entitled to kill just as many innocent women and children as they want, "forevermore".

Nvidia is a bubble stock. It sure is great as long as the AI bubble continues. There are some other high-flyers in that space, too. The major players like Nvidia and Broadcom will be just fine. When the bubble bursts, it will not destroy those companies. Their share prices will shit the bed, though. They are to the AI bubble what Cisco and Sun were to the Dot Com bubble.

They are, but CPI is a trailing indicator and PPI is a leading indicator. Depending on what went up, it takes 1-3 quarters for PPI to show up in CPI. Fuel, for example, reflects quickly and usually the next quarter. Metals and intermediate goods take longer, since production-to-market time is slower.

But even if the companies are eating the difference in margins, that can only go on for a bit and we're essentially out of capacity for it. It will show up in CPI - just not yet.

249 This is destabilizing countries from Chile to Mexico, clouding pathways for people fleeing violence with legitimate asylum claims, and boosting cartel control of Latin America.

-----------

China and The Cartels already own the Biden Crime Family along with much of The Swamp -- and they own the Southern Border while killing more Americans each year via fentanyl than have died in all kinetic wars since Vietnam.

If we lose our proverbial backyard, which we're on the verge of, we're toast from an external national security perspective -- while of course we're on the verge of being toast from an internal treasonous fifth column Marxist-engineered cultural, economic, & societal collapse perspective.

"Would you prefer this toast or that toast?"

250 >>The people I know that have arthritic knees get steroid injections, and they work for them.

The problem with steroid injections, aside from possible side effects, is the relief doesn't last and you are limited to the number you can receive. I tried them for my back but the pain relief decreased with each of the 3 shots and that was all they would give me.

Every condition is different so you never know. I find rum helps.

265 In 2020 the Democrat cheat was between 10 and 20 % of the vote. This year they have a much worse candidate, so they are going to turn the cheat up to eleven. I would estimate that 20 to 30 % of the Democrat vote this year will be fraudulent. That means Biden's actual vote last election was 65 to 73 million. This year, I'm going to guess he'll claim to get 85 million votes of which 59 to 65 million will be actual voters.

280 201 Nvidia is a bubble stock. It sure is great as long as the AI bubble continues. There are some other high-flyers in that space, too. The major players like Nvidia and Broadcom will be just fine. When the bubble bursts, it will not destroy those companies. Their share prices will shit the bed, though. They are to the AI bubble what Cisco and Sun were to the Dot Com bubble.

Nvidia has substantial sales outside of AI and still few competitors, so I think they’re stronger than Sun or Cisco in that analogy. (AI is absolutely what’s inflating the stock though). Broadcom is continuing to pursue a weird strategy of only wanting the Fortune 50 as customers, and we’ll see how that goes.

That should be: ". . . 12% of their ballots have not been found/manufactured to create the desired result."

Look, they sold electronic voting machines on efficiency and accuracy, yet with each election it takes **longer** to process ballots.

Michigan is in the bag for the 2024 Democrat candidate for President, whoever s/he is. So long as Whitmer, AG Nessel and SoS Benson (the scrunt triumvirate) are in power, they will deliver Michigan to the Left, by any means necessary. Just as they did in 2020.

Same goes for Minnesota, which is even further radical left than Michigan and whose government is even more controlled by Democrat left.
