The Morning Report — 4/16/24

Good morning, kids. It's obvious, as well as beyond insane, that whoever the puppet-master(s) pulling the strings of Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants is (or are) are willing to touch off a conflict that could quickly escalate into World War 3 just because they fear Donald Trump will actually beat the cheat that for sure is in place and return to the White House. The skids of this insanity are greased by their innate, preternatural Jew-hatred which is itself an offshoot and a symptom of hatred for America as founded which prevents them -- at this point barely -- from claiming absolute moral authority and the right to lord over us for all time.

In a nutshell, that's really it. From the obscene multiple show trials of imaginary felonies being hurled at Donald Trump, to the persecutions of innocent Americans imprisoned and destroyed from 1/6/21 for the high crime of being dupes in a Deep State-engineered sting operation, to the past three years of an 8-million-strong invasion of illegal alien peasants that include thousands of hardened violent criminals as well as Islamic terrorists (BIRM) and even Chi-Com military sleeper agents on top of the Democrat-approved anarcho-terrorist wave of crime unleashed by Leftist DAs and judges, to the intentional destruction of our economy and way of life via redistributionist Keynesian monetary policy and the dismantling of the life-giving, prosperity-fueling fossil fuel industry, and then the madness of every perversion and deviancy under the sun being trans (heh)-mogrified and even beatified into normalcy — All the societal dissolution and the ever-increasing depredations shoved down our throats especially since the coming of Obama, if not since 9/11/01 and probably under the radar of most people pre-internet and talk radio, are all undeniable and in our face as naked tyranny.

The irony of it all is, as all of the aforementioned are ramped up and the tyrants push the accelerator to "Ludicrous Speed," they are at a minimum turning off the very people who pull the lever for them or have the lever pulled for them as the case may be election after election, blacks, latinos, blue collar workers, and even more surprisingly women are making Donald Trump that much more of an attractive candidate. Beyond mere electoral politics, if such a thing even exists any more given the instrumentalities of institutional fraud made kosher in state houses across the nation with the cover of the COVID lockdowns, I sense a coming sea change and overturning of the phony shibboleths of Democrat-Leftist good and conservative evil as the scales fall from millions of sets of "lying eyes."

But considering the oppressive power structure already in place and the desperation to hold onto what took them over 100 years to achieve, will this election and really every one going forward that must deny any and every Leftist and RINO a seat in a corrupt Congress and Oval Office be enough to reverse course and indeed allow the reversing of course to at least some semblance of American society and culture as founded to re-establish itself?

Given the situation at least as I see it, that is corruption top to bottom and inside out in every aspect of our government and far too much of everything out of it, it might not. But, the growing anger and dissatisfaction as our ability to insulate or perhaps delude ourselves from seeing and feeling a tyranny that is stripping us of our economic security, dignity and security slips away, will pave the way for – wait for it – a revolution. Those who pushed and pimped Cloward-Piven on us lo these past five or six decades might get exactly what they planned; a total collapse of the system. But they might not get what they planned on in its wake, a communist Amerika with them at the top of the heap. It could very well be them looking down the wrong end of the gun as they're led to the gallows. Inshalla . . .

Psaki-psircling back to the situation in Israel both on the Gaza and now Iranian fronts, which of course are interrelated, yhe ideologically-driven incompetence of Foggy Bottom and Joey's soggy bottom have emboldened the Mullahs to openly and directly launch an attack on Israel, instead of using their proxies Hezbollah. I cannot imagine Israel launching a direct attack on Iranian soil, although the continued Mossad and Sayeret Matkal operations to take out top commanders of the IRGC and nuclear scientists will go on, especially as the race towards a nuclear breakout continues. Right now, there are reports that Israeli special forces are on ops in Lebanon and going after Hezbollah/IRGC top dogs perhaps as Israel prepares its final assault in southern Gaza and to preemptively disrupt an attack from the north when Israel wipes out Hamas in Gaza.

Of course, miscalculation anywhere up and down the chain of command, along with the medieval madness of the mullahs encouraged by the stupidity of Kalorama, the UN and the EU means anything is possible at any time.

There is a distinct possibility of a hair-mussing in someone's future.

Michael Walsh: "No one ever went broke underestimating the avariciousness, and viciousness, of his fellow man, especially those admonishing penitents coming to us in sackcloth and ashes as they board their private jets for Davos and say this time we really mean it as they bust out the champagne and oysters, on the theory that if you gotta go, you might as well go in style and let the rubes and suckers pay for it."

“This case is, creating something, it’s creating a criminal code just for Trump.

He’s effectively arguing that Trump was filing false business records through his counsel to hide a federal crime. But it isn’t a federal crime, this wasn’t a campaign contribution. None of that appears to matter, and that’s why a lot of us are looking at this and recoiling. This is not how the law is supposed to be.” (And yet, it is - jjs)

This:

"Part of Obama’s Iran Deal allowed those sanctions to expire on October 18, 2023. Two weeks after the Oct 7 attacks on Israel which killed over 1,000 people, the Biden administration let the UN sanctions lapse, making it easier for Iran to buy, export and boost its development of weapons technology. ..

Where the Trump administration had snapped back sanctions for Iran’s violations, Biden lifted them a month after taking office. Sen. Ted Cruz has estimated that the Biden administration allowed around $100 billion to flow to Iran since 2021. That $10 billion was just the latest of it."

18 Ahem.

The recent attacks on Israel were coordinated with the U.S.:

"A senior administration official told reporters in a briefing Sunday that the U.S. had a “series of direct communications through the Swiss channel” with Iran leading up to the attack. The official said Iran communicated through the Swiss channel that its strike on Israel was complete as the attacks were ongoing."

24 Pretending we are a nation, held together by Constitutional principles and each of us fostering a love for our neighbor is as foreign a notion today as it was in 1860. The furtherance of personal liberty, the freedom of making ones own choices to forge a personal weapon against tyrants and lawlessness, is as much diluted as ever.

There is no polite return to a calm and peaceful existence short of total battle and the ensuing ruin. Only then, when the surviving men emerge like cicadas to farm and manufacture, can a people re-create a place to dwell without interference and without fear of attack.

All is left to do is the enemy cannoneer to yank the lanyard and we will be to arms.

It shouldn't, but I think the even bigger problem is these funds that provide bail for and "defend" (they need no defense in reality, because they're Party operatives, but someone has to show up and he's going to be paid) street warriors. These funds are known and granted tax-exempt status and do *nothing* but promote and directly support and expand street war.

These NGOs are nothing more than money laundries that clean up cash from rich people for the purpose of promoting street war and defending its soldiers while providing big tax benefits to everyone involved. The *real* terrorists wear suits (or Birkenstocks, depending on variety involved) and work keyboards at the NGOs.

Two things there.

First, the Party is not exhibiting behavior that would lead one to believe that it is worried about elections. You can make of that what you will.

Second, they *must* accelerate. There is no choice. To continue moving the needle, they have to keep escalating and since they *must* continue to move the needle - the entire system depends on elaborate complexes of graft, blackmail, influence, etc. and it is unstable and must expand in order to survive, or the whole thing falls apart under the weight of all its conflicts and corruption - they have to keep mashing the accelerator down.

This happens in finance sometimes. Like how WaMu extended a lot of risky credit had to grow at all costs, they issued more and more to riskier and riskier. They got their growth, but by the end of it they were offering unemployed college kids like me $15,000 credit cards at 11%. It had to blow up, and it did. This will, too, eventually.

They have a tiger by the tail, as everyone who grows in an environment of abject corruption does. Corruption is difficult - and hugely expensive, both in money and "political capital" - to manage, and the more you have, the more you need in order to keep managing it.

They wanted more power, and they got it. Now to keep it, they need even more. Then to keep that, they will need more again. They will continue turning the crank until they can't anymore.

And "can't anymore," at this scale, translates to "the whole damn thing falls apart."

84 Toe fungus??

John Wayne Bobbitt, who attainted notoriety in 1993 after his then-wife severed his penis while he slept, has now lost 10 more appendages – his toes.

Bobbitt has been diagnosed with toxic peripheral polyneuropathy after being exposed to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune military base in North Carolina in the late 1980s.

The condition causes nerve damage to extremities, which has led to the amputation of his toes over a period of several years. The last few digits were removed in 2023.

88 Harmeet Dillion was on TimCast last night and she was talking about the jury selection and that Trump only needs one juror to vote not to convict but she also said the judge has structured the trial so that no Orthodox Jews can serve on the jury, most juries in NYC have Friday off, so that the judge can do paper work and juries can get a break and observant Jews can serve.

Basically, these scumbags have to rig the game at every level to get Trump.

++++
As YD once put it, "the problem is not that system has become corrupt, but that corruption has become the system."

Everything, at high levels is corrupt and that is moving down the hierarchy as it must. It isn't so corrupt yet that people routinely sell lead weights instead of copper wire or sell calcium-coated gelatin instead of eggs (not arbitrary examples - both happen in Red China, where corruption is truly all-pervasive at all levels), but we're getting there.

Everything is based on theft, and the theft is backed by the state and its expansion is protected through increased depravity and oppression.

Or something similar, yeah.

But they can contain Trump, and will do so if he manages to defeat them or they allow him in for their own purposes (I can see some reasons why they might let him in). The national parties (really just the Party, of course, but they like to keep up appearances) are structured and staffed quite well to ensure that what you're describing will never happen.

The state or local parties are sometimes another story and the one potential benefit having even a small and marginal retarder attached to the titanic wheel of state at the federal level is that it may give the state parties and the men in charge of them time to build out the infrastructure for accelerated nullification. Abbott and DeSantis - especially Abbott in this round - are providing examples.

The need for migrant labor doesn't mean you allow anyone to cross the border at any place at any time for any reason. You need a structured guest labor program. we don;t have one.

We need to allow millions in. And it should be legally. We’re currently having severe shortages in healthcare (especially nursing aides), construction, skilled labor, and other industries. And there’s not currently enough potential workers to fill them.

If white Europeans or Canadians want to come work in the fields, Indiana farmers will be glad to just rubber stamp endless Visas to do it. No questions asked. "These people" are brown and having children.

Weirdly, I think the Trump show Trial is an avatar of national divorce.

Trump was a guy in good standing in NY, feeding the lampreys on both sides of the aisle to get business done, until he made the lampreys unhappy.

Then they went after him unlawfully and completely.

Who in their right mind, even if you're the Democratiest Democrat would run a business in NY and esp NYC?

Even if you're in good standing with the lampreys today, who knows about tomorrow if you make one or several unhappy?

A national divorce won't work of course. It'd be like getting a divorce, thinking the worst is over, but your ex-won't be happy until he's/she's burned down your house, blown up your car, and shepherded all of your kids into trannie surgery.

Trump was a guy in good standing in NY, feeding the lampreys on both sides of the aisle to get business done, until he made the lampreys unhappy.

164 From the Daniel Greenfield article -

"When Biden allowed Iran that latest $10 billion in sanctions relief, not only were US Navy personnel actively in combat with Iran’s Houthi terrorists, but two Navy SEALS had died in an operation to intercept Iranian weapons being smuggled from Somalia to the Houthis in Yemen. In Jordan, an attack by Iran’s Shiite militias operating out of Iraq had killed three American servicemembers. While Biden appeared willing to let Iran get away with it, Israel was not."

Now I understand why Biden ends every speech with "...may God protect our troops."

It's because Biden will never lift a finger to protect them unless doing so directly helps him in some way.

I think so. Either war or slow, grinding, escalating oppression.

There are far, far too many people absolutely dependent upon a ever-expanding government that must steal from others and give to them.

2) private welfare recipients (never paid in)
3) corporate welfare recipients (bribed to get kickbacks)
4) health care workers
5) government employees

Every single one of those will lose huge even from a 10% cut. And they will kill to keep what they have.
Peter Sahain and the 4th Turning folks have a dumb prediction where we're gonna solve this as Boomers will give up their cut and Gen X will take charge. E.g., you sacrifice while no one else does and you take the blame from everyone. Not a chance.

205 But the data shows, four years later, that this assumption was a rush to judgment — nonwhite people actually died in numbers that were comparable to their portion of the population. CDC data for 1,175,876 Covid deaths from January 2020 through February 2024 show that blacks comprised 13.6 percent of all Covid deaths, in line with their 13.6 percent of the population; Hispanics were almost 15 percent of mortalities, less than their 19.1 percent of the population; Asians accounted for 3.14 percent of all Covid casualties, half their 6 percent portion of the nation;

and Non-Hispanic whites made up 67 percent of all Covid deaths — even more than their 58.9 percent share of the population.

So all the extra care and money and medicine and DEI we were told was needed for the minorities was a lie.

Joe and Jill are not living large on only his taxable income. This is why Joe would veto any bill enacting a wealth tax. He has never pushed for a tax on the wealth of anyone, no matter how much they are worth. Not hard to figure out why.

I used to have hope that GenX would pull us out of the dive, but not for this reason. They aren't going to give everything up with no compensation, nor should they - but that's not the reason this won't happen.

This won't happen simply because GenX isn't big enough, particularly combined with the longevity of the Boomer ruling class. Those fuckers are living *forever* and holding on to power with a death-grip. GenX is too small to muscle them out of the way, especially considering that GenX is locked in a pincer. The Boomer mega-generation is above them and the Millennial mega-generation is below them and they're being squeezed out like grease between two steel plates.

The Boomer power class is working to skip the Xers entirely as they hand over the keys. They *really* prefer the Millennials they've been carefully grooming to take over. The Xers will just be rounded off.

I disagree. The political Millennials are extremely ambitious and the generation broadly is fairly uniformly leftist. The Millennial political operators are enthusiastic about taking over from their parents (and ahead of their older brothers) and the wider generation is extremely content to be ruled by the right kind of leftists. In-group preference will largely take care of the rest.

GenX political operators will not be holding on into their decrepitude like the Boomers have. They're being forced out. The Millennials *will* hold on into their decrepitude, assuming the system holds up that long (I doubt it).

291 Remember, "the life of Julia" was the Boomers using Obama to tell the Millennials that Big Daddy Government was gonna take care of them.

And it worked.

The Boomers kept their grip on power.
And that alliance "elected" the Biden.
(Yes, I know he's not a Boomer; but his strongest support is the 65+ crowd.)

292 I need the Cliff Notes on all the different 'gens' and their characteristics

293 Sorry, bt the idea that we need more farm workers is nonsense. We've had a guest worker program for years. We've mechanized so we need fewer workers. And a lot of those farms are in Mexico now. Idiots always think you can bring people in for manual labor jobs snd they'll stay there. They won't.

294 You have to achieve a specially-infused level of stupidity to categorize people by their birth cohort. No wonder it's so popular.

It's like putting a cartoon balloon over your head that says "Duh."

295 This heterodox but oh-so-interesting point of view is supported by space engineer Michel Vieillefosse, a pioneer in satellite auscultation of the Earth. At CNES, he produced the first maps of thermal variations measured from space. His recent book ” Réchauffement climatique” is a mine of information on the climate, how it works and its recent evolution. Based on real data and calculations, rather than model projections, he concludes that there’s no point in demonizing fossil fuels, and that the real causes of global warming – deforestation of tropical forests, urban heat islands and methane leakage – should be tackled first.

298 Given what Iran could attack Israel with the other night--basically, what sounded like a bunch of gas powered lawn mowers--should we really fear their nuke program as much as we do? Maybe we should let it happen, their first bomb might just blow up their own facility and city.

299 Hey J.J., that second (single-line) paragraph is worthy of one of my own!

Well-said ...

300 Let Israel be Israel. 🙏 Que Sera, Sera.

Maybe if we, other nations & "groups" such as the UN, stood firm & helped drag the 10/7 planners & perpetrators to justice we wouldn't be as deep into the current Middle East quagmire.

Politico, Apr 2016: What’s Obama’s European legacy?
I'm almost afraid to say O was detached from a great deal of European angst but the old guard (Clintons, McCain, 'Foreign Policy' Biden, Schumer, Pelosi, yada..) dragged us back AND deeper into what they, themselves, were most familiar - drama, power, the quid pro quo.

They're NOT equipped to handle current world affairs & can't/won't concede PDT had some decent foreign policies. ('The value of Trump’s Abraham Accords once again proven' April 15, 2024.)

The majority of the elected 'second string' are just a tad short of disastrous with little sense, loyalty, and a desire to learn. (Who could could teach them?)

The US can't keep running Marshall Plans for & through Europe when there are critical, internal problems for the nation, ever worsening & distracting from the nation's inability to police its own shores & care for its own people.

FIX GOVERNMENT. 3 separate but equal branches.
