The Morning Report — 6//27/24

Good Morning Kids. Well, as Malig-Nancy Pelosi would put it, the Supreme Court has indeed "gone rogue." Meh it did that over 200 years ago with Marbury v. Madison and quite a number of other horrendous decisions ever since, but this one is right up there, or given the state of play of how our government has operated since the New Deal, is it really all that surprising?

The Murthy v Missouri decision is pathetic and dishonest. Faced with clear evidence that the government had arranged to censor individuals and viewpoints, Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s response was to lead a majority of the court’s leftists in mocking those who sued as idiots because the injury inflicted on them can’t be redressed since it already happened and because the social media platforms are still continuing to censor them even without direct government intervention.
This is the equivalent of “You can’t sue the government for blowing up your house because it already happened and since it failed to reappear, clearly its non-existence could never be attributed to government action.”
To issue her warping ruling, Justice Barrett had to argue that it’s unlikely the government would ever censor social media again.
“It is a bedrock principle that a federal court cannot redress “injury that results from the independent action of some third party not before the court.” Second, because the plaintiffs request forward-looking relief, they must face “a real and immediate threat of repeated injury.” Putting these requirements together, the plaintiffs must show a substantial risk that, in the near future, at least one platform will restrict the speech of at least one plaintiff in response to the actions of at least one Government defendant.”
And what are the odds of that?

You can bet your life that should Donald Trump actually survive the persecution via prosecution and if the key swing states which even Lefty pollsters are claiming will go to him, even with the rigging machine going into overdrive as it must especially this time around, political violence from the Left is always on the table, perhaps no more so than this go around.

Then ask yourself, would any Republican president or bureaucrat ever knowingly utilize their position to strong-arm the media to strip away the first amendment rights of their political opponents. Meh, would they even be given that opportunity and given the political inclinations of much of the media as mere house organs of the the Democrat left in the first place.

The judiciary was compromised long ago when the notion of a "living and breathing Constitution" was put above originalism and the strict reading of the Constitution. That was the fundamental transformation long before Barack Obama was birthed.

And here we are.

So the debate is tonight. Speaking of censorship, it should be quite instructive as to how Fake Tapper and his sidekick will prop up Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants and silence Trump, while hurling have you stopped raping women in Bergdorf's changing rooms yet, kind of questions. Ugh.

On a personal note: for those who have been asking about me, I'm four days into treatment and mercifully not feeling any side effects so far. Thank you for your continued support and prayers.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) confirmed that both men were released into the country on the same day they unlawfully crossed the U.S.-Mexico border, but detention data released by a House committee indicates they could have remained in physical custody.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday sided 6-3 with the Biden junta in Murthy v. Missouri, finding that two states and five individual plaintiffs lacked standing to seek an injunction against the government’s wide-ranging efforts to suppress speech online. The case concerned the federal government requesting social media companies such as Facebook and Twitter remove certain content related to COVID-19 and other hot-button issues; many of the posts that were censored were factual, and critics argued the Biden junta attempted to censor conservative viewpoints

In fact, you could argue that the threat is elevated even higher now as a result of this ruling.” Kara Frederick, director of The Heritage Foundation’s Tech Policy Center, commented on Biden administration censors, “They just got the green light to keep going.” As show host Glenn Beck said, the ruling was a “gut punch.”

THE ECONOMY, STUPID
American households are struggling to maintain their level of worth under Joe Biden‘s government. Data from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis shows that under former President Donald J. Trump, household net worth rose steadily—taking on a slight dip at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic but quickly recovering.Meanwhile, under the 81-year-old Democrat incumbent Joe Biden, the net worth of American households has lagged behind the rate of growth under Trump. Even more concerning, household net worth has declined significantly when controlled for inflation.

This is not any sort of decision on the merits. The appeal will now continue in the Ninth Circuit, after which the losing side – which many observers expect to be Idaho – can again ask the Supreme Court to review the matter. The order appears to be in final form and so should be released in the next few days, and appears to have been posted a day or two early due to a clerical error. But the establishment media is crowing over the issue, claiming a pro-abortion victory. And many media commentators on the right are not pushing back, for some perhaps because they are unclear regarding Supreme Court procedure, but others likely because – for the moment – Biden’s abortion mandate holds sway.

46 It's funny, because I go to an Episcopal church w/my parents and it's not full, and mostly old people. I go to my church and it just keeps growing, and growing, started an elementary school last year. The difference is mine provides a clear, strong, message while the other has veered off course with social justice and all the other stuff. People are hungry for faith, but not the watered down kind obsessed with today's politics, trying to please everyone.

Yep. People want a clear, strong message about what is good and right in this world. They look around and see the world devolving back into evil ways (Sodom and Gomorrah x 1000) and are looking past that to the glory of the NEXT world.

50 The Marxist notion that traditional culture is the source of oppression in the modern world is still very much with us.
1) ALL Marxism is cultural to some extent. Marx was trying to supplant Christianity.
2) It IS the the source of oppression for people who want to practice hedonism and defy God.
3) Of course it's still with us - it's the predominant religion now. And so few people realize how it has corrupted everything.

For no particular reason, might want to read this again for another angle on what they're doing: https://tinyurl.com/u52ub64e

For those who don’t know what this means, it means that the administration is able to draw a graph (like a network chart) of who is talking to whom. It is able to say what are the key nodes through which any business passes, find all its Internet ‘friends’ and interlocutors and potentially drill down into the comms themselves — in time series. . .

The fact that you belong to a large group, for example the 50% of the US population that is conservative or Republican, does not give you safety in numbers. Within this large group of millions are a much smaller number of key leadership nodes. They are the nodes that matter, the top of the hierarchy mandated by Dunbar’s Number. If you can control, corrupt or even bait those nodes you can reduce the entire group to impotence. You can effectively decapitate it. . .

The domestic population, via abortion, birth control and personality has managed to drop below replacement rate. Cars have never been more cleaner in their operation. Coal plants have been closing and decades of optimizing everything from appliances to light bulbs has dropped base levels of consumption. So much heavy industry has been off-shored and what remains is scrubbed.

So why is the air quality worse now than ever?

• much more strict standards
• importing 60 million foreigners
• concentrating everyone into cities (where they measure air quality)
• having Leftist in charge of air quality.

Getting put on that list is considered a career killer. So, they were trying to kill 1,600 police careers based on their own standards, and their famous capacity to indict a ham sandwich.

Those are lies from the pit of Hell. So easy to prove its wrong. Tell me about the thriving Christian Church in Muslim countries, or in China, or in the former USSR. Things were so swell in Europe during the late Medieval that people risked their lives fleeing to The New World to practice their faith.

Being hacked to pieces in Congo is not a definition of "thriving".

Its also blasphemy to say that the Holy Spirit has little to do with the health and vitality of the Church, but "thriving" is a fruit of the Devil.

The USSR was appropriately named as a union of soviets, which were ruled by tiered councils adhering to socialist policies.

The US-former, while on paper is a Constitutional Republic; in perception we are a Democratic Republic, in practice we are Communist dictatorship en route to violent anarchy.

The primary differences between Constitutional and Democratic Republics is that the former relies on Rule of Law rather than Propaganda of the Masses (euphemistically called "Informed Decision Making")

If I use AC a fan comes on once in a while to cool the inverter which is doing the conversion from DC to AC.

146 I have a pretty clear memory of both debates in 2020. In both (but particularly the first one when Trump was coming down with covid), Biden was “effective” by constantly interrupting and name calling and almost shouting. It threw Trump off his game. It’s the same playbook Biden used against Paul Ryan. Even in his decrepit state he’s still capable of doing the same thing again. The moderators are in his corner obviously. Maybe the microphone mute debate rule will actually be a self own by CNN and the Biden campaign (redundant)… theoretically that’ll keep fiddle fingers from constantly interrupting….

There seems to be a ceiling on the wattage that a residential DC-->AC converter can do (AC --> DC is trivial). I have been looking for a whole house inverter generator that can power at least 15kW and everything tops out at 9kW.

Apparently at some level, the efficiencies of running a DC generator at variable engine speeds based on load are overcome and just spinning a diesel at 1800RPM or gasoline/LP/NG at 3600RPM and generating AC at the shaft is better.

She was chosen because she was on the list from Heritage? of "reliable originalist jurists" and she has tits. The tits were a requirement because she replaced RGB and the sisterhood would have lost their fucking minds (more than usual) otherwise.

Here in the northeast during winter anything in the garage which produces heat is going to look like paradise to mice. I found a nest in my service panel once. Just waiting for the day when I used a lot of power, heated up the box and set the mouse nest aflame.

I suspect most 'electrical fires' are actually mouse nest fires.

205 From the Halls of Montezuma
To the shores of Tripoli …

The First Barbary War (1801–1805), also known as the Tripolitan War and the Barbary Coast War, was a conflict during the Barbary Wars, in which the United States and Sweden fought against Tripolitania. Tripolitania had declared war against Sweden and the United States over disputes regarding tributary payments made by both states in exchange for a cessation of Tripolitanian commerce raiding at sea. United States President Thomas Jefferson refused to pay this tribute. Sweden had been at war with the Tripolitans since 1800.[5] The First Barbary War was the first major American war fought outside the New World, and in the Arab world.

206 “The California way of life we recognize is under attack,” he claimed. “For conservatives and delusional California bashers, their success depends on our failure. They want to impeach the very things that have made us successful, as a tactic to turn America toward a darker future. They do so in the name of ‘liberty’ and ‘freedom.’ They want to roll back social progress, social justice, racial justice, economic justice, clean air, clean water, and basic fundamental fairness. They would cleave America from the principles of freedom and the rule of law. And in the process, throw our economy and, in many respects, society as we’ve known it, into chaos.”

208 California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) blamed the political Right for the failures of his state during the 2024 State of the State address that critics said sounded like a campaign launch event.

In his 28-minute speech, Newsom claimed that right-wing forces were “threatening the very foundation of California’s success” and that California’s culture was “the antidote to the poisonous populism of the Right, and to the fear and anxiety that so many people are feeling today.”

209 Back in 2020, while covering the likely color revolution/election steal, Darren Beattie described the new, special use of the term "democracy." Don;t have a link handy, by he described it on Michelle Malkin's podcast as a term of art they use trick people. When they say "our democracy" most people think of the "democracy" definition we learned as kids, while they mean something entirely different (as we''ve seen - they mean progressive rule). Beattie said that it's typically a tell that a color revolution is being facilitated by IC actors in the US when the MSM starts talking about a movement for "democracy" in some place like Ukraine.

We've all noticed the shift - the way the Democrats and MSM started using "our democracy" in a weird, new way in 2020 as if it was some holy, sacred thing, constantly at risk from half the country's citizens for simply having different politics.

Joe spent the 2020 campaign shamelessly lying and got away with it for the most part because he didn't have a record to defend. He does now and it is a record of almost unparalleled failure. And everyone knows it.

Joe isn't just going up against Trump tonight. He's going up against the record of his first term. Tapper and Bash can't make inflation disappear or seal the border or make groceries cheaper.

But the inverter is the way to go. While a couple neighbors are burning a couple of gallons an hour of propane to spin their generators 24/7 at 3600RPM, the inverter dials down engine RPM to meet the load and my daily fuel usage is around 9 gallons of ethanol free.

"When you left office reluctantly and in disgrace, 8 bajillion jobs were being lost per hour and inflation was at 17 krillion percent and people were dying in the streets.

266 If I were Donald Trump, I'd basically do Jim quits laundering Joe's kickbacks," and so on. No matter what the question, immediately turn it to a Biden family member, every time. If they ask when I'd complete the border wall I'd say "I'm not sure, but definitely before Joe's dopehead gutter slut daughter stops writing about him molesting her and leaving that testimony at rehab clinics," and so forth.

It's not a good debate tactic, and it would make Trump look bad. But, that's not the point, and no one cares about these farcical debates. The point would be to press that dotard's hottest buttons until he's in a frothing senile rage. Heart attack or stroke would obviously be the ideal outcome, but an incoherent, slurring meltdown would be fine.

On Oct. 7, 2016 – just two days before the presidential debate between Trump and Clinton – Clapper issued the unprecedented intelligence advisory with Obama’s personal blessing. It seemed to lend credence to what the Clinton camp was telling the media — that Trump was working with Russian President Vladimir Putin through a secret back channel to steal the election. Sure enough, the Democratic nominee pounced on it to smear Trump at the debate.

317 For some bucks you could install a small preheater tank with a heat exchanger in it and recover the waste heat from the generator.

They make heat pump water heaters, can draw from the hot attic (9mo out of the year) and pump the cool air into the garage. (~300W). Don't need to heat the water much in the summer.

Oddly the biggest problem is overcoming the auxilliary heat strips in the heat pump to de-ice the lines when the temps get below 30F (I can run heat pump down to 12F) that process takes no more than 90 seconds but draws 8000W so the second generator is a No Go due to capacity.

I thought about doing a Tesla Wall Battery, but it we are back to the inverter technology topping out, and the wall battery is something like 6kW max going through the inverter. I don't think it will synchronize with the gasoline generator.

I just need 90 seconds of an additional 10k every hour or so. (or go propane and THAT is expensive retrofitting)

337 "bidirectional charging means is that if you plug your car in at a time when the grid needs power, it will suck energy out of your car’s batteries. It would be like a gasoline pump turning into a siphon whenever Exxon decided demand for oil was too high."

Except siphoning gas does not damage the tank. But charging and discharging a battery reduces its life. My lithium batteries claim to be good for 7000 cycles. If it was in a car and the power company was cycling them every day, it would reduce battery life by at least half.

My brother-in-law and his wife got in a motorcycle accident. He passed away. She was profoundly injured, and said to have the potential to be a vegetable forever. Decision was made to unplug all her gear and let her pass. We prayed and read scripture on the day that they went to unplug her. She woke up and started talking to everyone. Week later we baptized seven people in the lake. She’ll be home in two weeks.

348 Why do so many "love" Rachel Maddow? First, her research, her diligence, and her devotion to provable facts and absolute truth is unquestionable. She speaks into that camera like she's sitting next to you and speaking to you alone. Her humor is delightful, precious and perfectly timed, given the ugliness of what she often covers.

And educated! Doctorate from the university of Oxford so she’s Dr. Rachel Maddow.

She circles and circles around her point. She also repeats herself quite a bit. I stopped watching because she never seemed to land the plane.

It's the Rush Limbaugh method. Although her content is completely different, her method is the same. It goes back to something journalists used to learn. "Tell them what you're going to tell them. Tell them. Tell them what you just told them." Limbaugh used this method because he had to spend three hours delivering one, single point to his brain dead audience.

352 Anyone who decides how they will vote based on tonight's debate is an idiot.

The world is full of idiots, and they get to vote too.

Maybe this isn't what we think, maybe the result is where most people are so disgusted that they tell "pollsters" that they're staying home. And when I mean "Pollsters" I mean the people in DNC phone banks who are curating a list of registered voters who the Leftist see an opportunity to proxy vote for the disenchanted voter without them knowing it.

Though most of voting is really manipulating desires of the masses. If you take your average person and implant a desire to vote for a particular person, or more accurately, cause them to emotionally support a particular person/party based on trigger words, then you really understand how a Democratic Republic operationally works.

365 Japanese police say three bodies have been found inside a crater at the summit of Mount Fuji.

||Officers were responding to a call on Sunday morning from a Tokyo resident, who said she was unable to contact her 53-year-old husband after he went to climb Japan's highest mountain.

The man had left home on Friday evening and was supposed to return the next day. On Saturday morning, he sent his family a photo taken near the summit. After that, he could no longer be reached.

While searching for the man, police found three people in a state of cardiopulmonary arrest at the crater on the Shizuoka Prefecture side of the summit.

Temperatures near the summit are low, and patches of snow remain. Many of the mountain huts, as well as the emergency medical center, are closed before the start of the climbing season.||

James Clyburn (D-SC) argued that people perceive President Joe Biden as too old because they don’t focus enough on him having a stutter and “very often, when he rushes a word out, in order to get said what he wants said, people see that as some sign of some gaffe or something of that sort, and that resonates with some people.”

.. as a former stutterer, I can tell you he ain't stuttering.

Longtime Biden surrogate, Ed Rendell, former Gov. of PA, was also at the event. Many can remember that fool from Biden's 2020 inauguration, rambling on while CBS showed the Bidens and Emhoffs together, ascending steps (what a difference 3+ years!) and how we need more goodness in our public discourse. American picked a very, very good man who could run and become President. Not necessarily the best spoken or most dynamic... but the certainty the person with the most humanity... (That was certainly a terrible mischaracterization then & things have careened downhill since.)
But Jill, "the daughter of a Navy veteran & stepmother of the late Beau Biden, a former army officer," said Trump's disparaging comments about service members, "really gets my Philly up." She told the crowd of supporters to remember the feeling they had the morning after Trump won in 2016.

417 Cont'd: "Oh my God, what just happened? "We can't let that happen again." (Thanks to Phila. Inquirer, in part.)

(Well, she didn't do her (actually, WHYY's article) 1968 'friend's' abortion tale with the well-healed crowd so Joe & Beau were all she had to work with.)

"Inheriting several national crises including domestic terrorism, covid-19 pandemic (and 400,000 deaths), and economic hardships," they claimed at the inauguration he'd handle it best. But what has been made better during his administration? Exactly as he & Obama before, promises made, few kept, and where the hell did the $ go?

The Afghanistan debacle followed by deeper conflict in Ukraine, Israel, Haiti, nations in Africa. Personal political scandals. Rising consumer prices in part due to rising (union) transportation costs, basic healthcare & education crumbling for middle America, ^^taxes & fees 'keeping' another 20+ million who've entered the country w/the O&Joe administrations & expansion of civil service & certain non-profits. (Even the denim market slumps because its becoming unaffordable & utility and insurance costs are going up every few months.)

Joe's gotta go; 3rd time's not a charm.

418 The First Amendment provides that Congress make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting its free exercise. It protects freedom of speech, the press, assembly, and the right to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. The Second Amendment gives citizens the right to bear arms.

What about 'freedom of association?'

Does the US have freedom of association?
Freedom of Association | The Free Speech Center, Aug 11, 2023

"The freedom of association — unlike the rights of religion, speech, press, assembly, and petition — is a right not listed in the First Amendment but recognized by the courts as a fundamental right."

(Obviously not a lawyer; just a thought.)

419 "The Marxist notion that traditional culture is the source of oppression in the modern world is still very much with us."

What would we have done in the last century or so without the Krauts? Like Churchill said, they're either at your feet or at your throat!

421 If Trump doesn't actually jump across the state and throttle Biden then Trump's adherents will claim he won. If Biden doesn't actually pull his dick out and start masturbating his adherents will claim he won. I'm not going to bother to watch.

423 What can U.S. live with in as far as annual immigration?

(Current) State Department:
Since the passage of the Refugee Act in 1980, the United States has admitted more than 3.2 million refugees.
For FY 2024, the President has again set an ambitious goal of 125,000 refugees to be resettled in the United States.

While the national origin quota system officially ended in 1965, hints of it can still be seen throughout our immigration system today. There are roughly one million green cards issued annually. Of these, the majority are issued to the immediate relatives of U.S. citizens. (Jan 30, 2024)

Voting - employ 'Early Vote Action' recommendations:
Encourage early voting & engaging in legal ballot harvesting. Volunteer and get training as poll watchers. Help register voters. Know the voting systems for your county and state; how they work, those in charge, etc.

Abortion: AP, 06/24/24
"Planned Parenthood will spend $40 million ahead of November’s elections to bolster President Joe Biden and leading congressional Democrats, betting that voters angry at Republican-led efforts to further restrict access to abortion can be the difference in key races around the country.

424 Continued:
"The group will initially target eight states: Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, where Biden is seeking to defend 2020 victories, as well as North Carolina, which the Democratic president’s campaign hopes to flip after Republican Donald Trump won it four years ago, and Montana, New Hampshire and New York, which have races that could help determine control of the Senate and House."

>Medical News Today, Funding of Transgender Surgery: Medicare may provide coverage for gender reassignment surgery, also called gender affirmation surgery, if a doctor deems it medically necessary. A person can appeal the decision if surgery is denied. While Medicare coverage is nationwide, states may vary in policies and guidelines.

It's illegal for your health insurance plan refuse to cover medically necessary transition-related care.

>Akron Legal News: Ukraine's draft woes leave the West facing pressure to make up for the troop shortfall,
Nicolai N. Petro, University of Rhode Island, 6/6/24

(THE CONVERSATION) Ukraine's current military recruitment campaign is not going according to plan.

The effort has been met with public skepticism, draft dodging & opposition.
