The Morning Report — 6/4/24

Good Morning Kids. Transliterating the noises emanating from the filthy sewer of Maxine Waters from her native halitosis into English is nothing new around here, for me. her lack of intellect and morality is nothing if not crystal clear as well as revelatory about her and her fellow traveler's naked lust for absolute power that has been ongoing since Aaron Burr murdered Alexander Hamilton.

Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA) sounded off over the weekend about “domestic terrorists” who support former President Donald Trump, saying they should be investigated for potentially plotting a “civil war.”
. . . Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA) sounded off over the weekend about “domestic terrorists” who support former President Donald Trump, saying they should be investigated for potentially plotting a “civil war.”

So, does voting for Donald Trump constitute an act of insurrection and or treason? Should he be the likely nominee of the GOP for the 2024 election be a reason to outlaw the GOP? Considering his massive campaign donation haul since the kangaroo court conviction, is each donor now guilty of fomenting a civil war and subject to imprisonment?

Hey, I'm just connecting the dots of what no doubt is running through the reptilian notochord of this evil decrepit succubus and everyone of her fellow travelers. Between rigging elections, perverting the notion of equal justice under a just and stable law and fomenting civil unrest and societal dissolution as a means to obtain and maintain absolute power.

That Lincoln did not completely and utterly dismantle the Democrat Party post 1865 is his great failing because we have had to contend with that evil in one way or another since then. Of course, Lincoln was assassinated in 1865 so I guess the failing was that of the Republican Party and the people in the wake of Lincoln's assassination.

With the ascendancy of Marxism/socialism/progressivism as the vehicle by which the accursed Democrats turned us upside down and inside out beginning in the early part of the 20th century, we have all but come full circle in the near complete demise of the American experiment that the founders warned us was likely to be our fate:

The Left infamously coined the phrase that the Constitution is not a suicide pact. Of course, what they mean by that is something entirely different. Considering what the Left is and what Democrats are, the Constitution was meant to be the means by which to contain their reptilian desires to enslave us. They have effectively used it as both a shield and cudgel to take us to the brink of extinction.

Can we claw our way back? And if so, at what cost?

On a personal note: I cannot adequately express my gratitude to all of you who have reached out to me with your personal good wishes and prayers, as well as for hitting our tip jar. God bless you all.

I personally don’t see how this verdict can be sustained. I was in that courtroom, and I was shocked by how the court was ruling. I would hope that eventually, maybe not initially, that eventually, an appeal will prevail in the verdict will be thrown out.

“Once people feel empowered and protected legally, you are going to have schools, universities and colleges are going to say, ‘You want to come to this college buddy, you’re going to get vaccinated, lady, you’re going to get vaccinated,’” Fauci said during an interview. “Big corporations like Amazon and Facebook, and all those others, are going to say ‘You want to work for us, get vaccinated,’ and it’s proven that when you make it difficult for people in their lives, they lose their ideological bullshit and they get vaccinated.”

Fauci further clarified that early assumptions about the vaccines‘ ability to prevent infection and transmission proved inaccurate over time. “It’s important to point out that something we did not know early on, which became evident as the months went by, is that the durability of protection against infection, and hence transmission, was relatively limited,” Fauci noted. He continued: “In the beginning, it was felt that it did prevent infection and thus transmission, but that was proven as time went by not to be a durable effect.”
Fauci Tells Congress That Vaccine Efficacy Is a ‘Complicated Issue.
“Americans were aggressively bullied, shamed, and silenced for merely questioning or debating issues such as social distancing, masks, vaccines, or the origins of COVID,” Chairman Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio) said in his opening remarks to Fauci, 83.

With more private plans competing, older Americans got better choices and more control over their health care. And more than 1,400 plans joined Part D right away. So because of this, the program both came under budget and saved seniors money.But the Biden JUNTA wants to undo all that.

Would have been a little hard for him to do, since he was murdered only about a week after Appomattox. Johnson should have done it, but he didn't.

I used to think Reconstruction was a violation of norms and an injustice to the South. I now think Sherman and Grant should have been given carte blanche to exterminate the Democrats.

Uhm, yea, they didn't drop 136 years worth of charges on Trump, to give him a tap on the wrist and a suspended sentence or house arrest.

They are going to throw him in jail, again this was always the plan.

I support Trump whole heatedly but this was always going to be the wages of yelling, lock, her up, and not following through on that promise.

Hilldog and the various Deep State Factions that run shit were like, lock her up? Ok buddy, you're going to be in a world of hurt for that.

So as the saying goes, if you strike at the king you best kill hum.

I don't know where the pigeon coop is, but I'd be tempter to slip over there one night and throw a grenade in the door. But there's prolly a law against that.

51 In October 2021, the official New York State voter list showed 109 particular voters who apparently voted twice in the 2020 general election, through two different ballot entry points. In July 2023, the same document showed 226,000 particular voters who voted twice in the 2020 general election, through two different ballot entry points.

My guess is about 5% fake voters in every state.

Dershowitz Suggests a Possible Legal Lifeline for Trump

So, all we need is for the court which has shown no backbone over matters related to Trump - beyond the Colorado case which even the liberals could see was fraught with danger, the court which could - possibly - have spared us some of the pain of the last four years, to do it's job in a case where 20-something leftist women will moan on Twitter?

71 It's my opinion that the Supreme Court is attempting to show restraint, but has been expressing unity in the face of attacks on individual liberties. They also seem in favor of letting people keep what they voted for as reward or punishment. I think there were some bad decisions made in 2020, but they have stood up since. As for their self interest, that's a good thing. They have been personally attacked. They have been professionally attacked. The rhetoric from the low brow Democrat politicians is flat out dangerous to them and has resulted in serious threats to their welfare and that of their family. PLEASE continue to harass and attempt to intimidate the Supreme Court, stupid leftists. I want you to. It's unfortunate that the appeals process is so slow, they will probably allow it to continue unless it directly impacts the elections. I'm not entirely upset with that decision.

89 "Except people didn't vote for it. The SCOTUS is feeling the effects of a stole lection that they could have prevented. "

I don't disagree with the "No standing" decision. Texas has no right to tell Pennsylvania what to do with their votes. I think the SCOTUS decision on the Pennsylvania elections in violation of law was stupid, but like I said, I think they've woken up since then.

"They could begin to make it right by hearing the appeal from Trump and tossing the entire conviction "

Again, I think they are attempting to keep the ship righted and interfering in the process without legitimate justification is probably not going to happen. If Trump starts to suffer in a big way, they may change their minds. Restraint means letting the system work despite your personal feelings. It's not always what we would want them to do.

To be honest, the states joined voluntarily… they should’ve been able to leave. The problem: there’s no way they should’ve been able to keep slaves. It was a Gordian knot that Lincoln cut by arguing Union. There was probably no other way but the precedent is unfortunate because in this day and age it might well be the freedom loving states that would like to secede

120 So, does voting for Donald Trump constitute an act of insurrection and or treason?
++++
Yes, but.

During the consolidation stage post-revolution, treason is defined down to the greatest extent possible. Open support for Trump is obvious and provable treason. As the bloodlust grows, more and more activity becomes treasonous, down to the point of "no activity" being treasonous. Supporting the opposition is an obvious treason, but then "not openly and loudly supporting the Party" is treason, too. We're not there yet - for now, keeping your head down and shutting up is still safe - but we'll get there.

How? I am a hardcore skeptic, but it appears to me to do no such thing. It's a commodity. It's a synthetic commodity, but a commodity nonetheless. It isn't coinage, not even virtually, and it isn't used to service debts unless previously agreed to and it is never used to pay taxes.

Two persons can agree on any payment terms they like. If I say I want X bitcoin in exchange for one unit of Widget Type A, and you agree to those terms, there is nothing remotely illegal about that. It's no different from barter. I could ask for bales of hay in exchange, or a barrel of oil, or whatever.

Reporting and taxing can be complicated because the value of the trade has to be converted into dollars for reporting and gain calculation, I will have to sell the commodity to raise dollars for taxes, etc., but I haven't done anything even remotely similar to minting false coinage. I just agreed to a commodity trade with my counterparty.

By a 6-to-3 vote, the court rejected the so-called Independent State Legislature theory advanced by the Republican-dominated North Carolina state legislature. Writing for the court majority, Chief Justice John Roberts said that the U.S. Constitution does not, as the lawmakers had claimed, insulate their actions from review by the state courts. To the contrary, he said, state legislative power is constrained by the federal and state constitutions, as well as ordinary state laws.

At the same time, however, Roberts said that in overseeing election provisions, state courts "do not have free rein" to exceed "the ordinary bounds of judicial review."

When the call comes from inside the house, is it really an "insurrection?" It was a coup d'etat. The Party threw off external controls and took over the system directly by merging the state with itself. There is now little or no difference between State and Party, they merely represent sometimes-different factions of the same complex.

Just like Red China, or the USSR, or Venezuela, or Cuba, or South Africa. The State is the CCP, the CCP is the State.

Blow me. It is not a "complicated issue." Vaccines are often complicated, but the issue is not.

This is why there are so many guardrails and such deep and often redundant process control. Even with all of that process and practice control, vaccines are often spotty in terms of outcomes and safety.

No, Tony. You and your pals just threw it all away. It isn't complicated, it was merely reckless.

This mess should be taken up by USSC same as Bush v Gore was. A weak Court will be attacked by the left as soon as they win reelection. It's for their own survival. They have to ditch the political question doctrine of nonintervention. Or they're next on the block.

A contract can be dissolved either by mutual agreement or by a previously agreed upon exit process. Neither of those were true. Breach of contract can be a thing, but the exiting party literally ran things at the time of secession and had been relatively uncontested for the decade leading up.

Makes about as much sense to argue that the American Revolution was "legal". Establishing a new country typically isn't legal.

Collin Rugg @CollinRugg
NEW: Comedian Jaime Caravaca gets clocked by right-wing activist Alberto Pugilato after making alleged ped*phile comments about his 3-month-old son.

Pugilato was seen charging the stage and striking Caravaca.

The incident stemmed from a comment Caravaca made on X where he responded to a photo of Pugilato with his son.

"Nothing and no one can prevent the possibility that he is gay, and when he grows up, he gets tired of sucking black c*ck," the 'comedian' said.

The comment was so bad that X limited it due to it potentially violating X's rules.

Climate activists targeted the Mona Lisa at the Louvre Museum on Sunday (02 - June, 2024), throwing soup at Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece. Protesters belonged to the environmental group 'Riposte Alimentaire' (Food Response). The orange concoction splattered across the bulletproof glass protecting the famous painting but fortunately caused no damage to it...

There is no one who does not know that Mona Lisa has a legendary reputation. This legendary painting is valued at nearly a billion dollars. We can find thousands of pages of articles written by art experts on reason for this extraordinary success.

Mona Lisa was created by versatile genius of Renaissance period, Leonardo da Vinci. Da Vinci. Term Renaissance Man, which is still used for versatile artists, was used for him for first time. It is believed that da Vinci began painting Mona Lisa in Florence in 1503 or 1504. Although it is a very small painting, it took four years to complete the portrait.

247 Some context on the stabbing of the policeman in Germany. The video is being removed from X, but it shows that the Islamist was on the ground stabbing the first victim. Someone then starts to try and stop the attacker from stabbing the victim.
At this point the police officer comes in an pulls off the (white) guy trying to stop the attack. Puts him on the floor and sits astride him to subdue him.
At that point, the attacker gets up and stabs the police officer who just helped the attacker free from the good Samaritan trying to stop the attack.

In other words, police saw a white guy wrestling with a brown guy (ignoring the stabbing being done by the brown guy) and then automatically decided the white guy was at fault. Wrestled him off and was then fatally stabbed as a result.

Wonder if there will be any unconscious bias training coming from that? Like not assuming the white guy is the aggressor.

McCormick actually treated thousands of Covid patients during the pandemic and his medical license was threatened.

He dared to give patients HCQ and Ivermectin.

270 The Constitution was never a suicide pact. But the Union it putatively undergirds has certainly become one. Many are waking up to that fact as a result of the last eight years' wanton excess.

The Democrat voters don't see it yet; they're just elated for the moment, because they're seeing their (perceived, illusory) enemies driven before them, and hearing the lamentations of their women. They don't yet know what awaits them.

Because if we don't break up this country peacefully very soon, the only outcomes are bloody totalitarian rule, or bloody civil conflagration, and in either of those scenarios, the bell tolls for everyone.

My assumption is that they're young. They're young and they understand that these systems are a bad deal and getting worse all the time. Lots of old people would be fine with saying "we'll end the programs for anyone under 50 but you have to pay the taxes until we're all dead." Lots of young people are fine with saying "end the taxes now and if oldies starve they starve".

What's needed is a consensus that everyone is getting fucked and we need to both reduced the amount of fuckage and have a date when it ends. But we'll never have that consensus because no one wants to pay any part of the price.

Eventually it'll all collapse and the people who think they're getting away with something will discover all the costs they didn't consider. Same as it ever was.

360 >>Can someone explain to me why it’s too much to ask that the children be left alone?
What's interesting is that, because the Left expresses itself in terms of "freeing" people's sexuality, many people miss the fact that it is every bit as sexually controlling in its own way as Islam is. This control comes about because the Left works assiduously to decouple sex from a person's own sense of bodily privacy and, by extension, self-ownership. If a person has no sense of autonomy, that person is a ready-made cog for the statist machinery.

The practical problem for the Left when it tries to attack individuality as expressed through sexuality is the fact that a person's sense of an inviolate physical self develops quite early, during childhood. . .

The Left, therefore, needs to decouple self and body as early as possible in a person's development -- and it does this by bringing its own peculiar notions of sexuality into the realms of child-rearing and education.

What do you have against Hoboken? I'll have you know that Hoboken is first in the nation among cities who's names start with hobo. Also, Hoboken is where I'm from. Beautiful Hoboken. This message paid for by the Hoboken Tourist Bureau.

408 Yeah. It started coming back to me as the first episode progressed. I remember watching it, the it sort of fizzled out and went away.

I watched the whole thing over streaming and the last season was a real pain. They did Tyr's character wrong.

And again comparing to Lexx...Lexx was always interesting no matter how stupid and bizarre it got.

Did the series get any better?

Apparently not. Critical Drinker did a video on it, IIRC, and he uses that show to demonstrate how tv writing has become. These are not mature adults having complex conversations like Spock and Kirk having a calm disagreement, but emotionally immature people losing their cool, showboating and generally treating each other poorly because of their 'feelz'. No idea how chain of command works, etc., that would be needed to run a starship (or even a functioning office/business, for that matter).

427 If you are mad about COVID and the insidious fraud and theft of liberty, blame Biden. He let people in the government run with uncheck power. He allowed vaccine mandates. He permitted people to list their livelihoods. He kept schools closed. He put in place, or left in place almost every one of the measures Fauci put in place. It’s why in light of all these revelations Biden overseen he hasn’t said a thing.

And he continues assault on your liberties every day, as I right this, to the point he’s trying to unconstitutionally jail his political opponent.

These are demonstrable truths, and yet nobody is making that argument.

430 In other words, police saw a white guy wrestling with a brown guy (ignoring the stabbing being done by the brown guy) and then automatically decided the white guy was at fault. Wrestled him off and was then fatally stabbed as a result.

Wonder if there will be any unconscious bias training coming from that? Like not assuming the white guy is the aggressor.

>There was Spongy Bobby last week:
McGill, 2017: 'The Toxic Lunacy of Robert de Niro and Robert Kennedy Jr.
Let’s put this delicately. Nah, never mind. Delicacy is not what is needed here. Let’s be blunt. Robert de Niro may be a fine actor, but when it comes to science, he is a fool. So is Robert Kennedy Jr. These two have hit the head headlines by offering a reward of $100,000 to anyone “who can prove that vaccines are safe.” An absurd idea!'

Mad Max now:

>Justice Breyer forced out of the Supreme Court on June 30, 2022, for age & so someone else could quickly replace him. BTW, Mad Max is the same age to the very day as Breyer, born on August 15, 1938.

>Waters was the surname of 1st husband. She married former NFL linebacker Sidney Williams in 1977. Williams later served as the U.S. ambassador to the Bahamas. (US News)

>Aug 2010, Waters denied House ethics charges that she improperly intervened on behalf of troubled OneUnited Bank, of which her husband is a stockholder and former director.

435 ABC News, 09/21/2012, 'Maxine Waters Did Not Violate House Rules, Ethics Investigation Finds'

In part, 'The House Ethics committee announced today that Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., did not violate House rules after a three-year investigation examining her office's assistance to a bank tied to her husband during the depths of the financial crisis. But a special investigator says her chief of staff, who is also her grandson, may have acted improperly in violation of House rules.'
...
'The allegations stem from a meeting that Waters' chief of staff requested with then Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson at the start of the financial crisis in September 2008. Waters and Paulson did not attend the meeting, but senior Treasury officials and members of the National Bankers Association (NBA), a trade organization representing over 100 minority-owned firms, did. An ethics report found that at that meeting and in follow-up conversations "the discussion centered on a single bank - OneUnited," where Waters' husband was a board member from 2004 to 2008.'

WSJ, 11 hours ago, WASHINGTON—President Biden is expected to sign an executive order Tuesday that would ban migrants who cross the southern border illegally from claiming asylum, a last-resort effort meant to quell voter discontent with his handling of immigration ahead of the presidential election.

And, CTVNews, 6/3/24, More Canadians are moving to the U.S. Here's one of the main reasons, according to an immigration expert

'The immigration lawyer said the majority of his current caseload involves helping Canadians married to Americans move to the U.S., and noted access is a topic that comes up often. For those with an American partner, access to health care involves tapping into their spouses’ medical care.'
