The Morning Report — 7/16/24

Good Morning Kids. Barely 48 hours after surviving an assassination attempt by not even an inch, and while still in the midst of nearly a decade of character assassination and political persecution by a corrupted government and criminal justice system, that despite a major setback in the tossing of the Jack Smith documents case (and perhaps the spurious J-6 case on the ropes), there can be no doubt as to the character of Donald Trump.

For sure the phrase, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger is in full effect here. Make no mistake the forces of evil will not rest because Trump is a mortal threat to their power and influence, and desire to fundamentally destroy America as founded.

And yet, he's still there, more energized and engaged than ever, as he entered the arena at the RNC in Milwaukee last night.

Trump strolled onto the convention floor as Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA” blared in the background.
The former president pumped his fist, gave several thumbs up and clapped as he joined his running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), and members of his family seated near the stage.
“Fight, fight, fight” the crowd chanted as Trump took his seat, a reference to the words mouthed by the former president on Saturday, moments after he was shot during a rally in Butler, Pa.
Trump listened intently as “Every Day Americans” Mark Laws and Benjamin Josephs delivered RNC speeches.
He also watched Amber Rose — a former stripper who has fiercely criticized Donald Trump in the past — give her remarks.
“He’s one tough SOB,” International Brotherhood of Teamsters union President Sean O’Brien said of Trump, during his remarks, as the GOP nominee listed on. Trump did not deliver remarks Monday night.
Earlier in the day, he was officially named the Republican nominee for president after being nominated by more than 1,215 GOP delegates during a roll call vote of state delegations.
Shortly before the vote, Trump announced on Truth Social that he had tapped Vance as his VP pick.

The estimable Miranda Devine notes:

Eight years ago, when Vance wrote the hit 2016 memoir Hillbilly Elegy documenting his hardscrabble life growing up in Rustbelt USA, he was seen as the key to understanding Trump’s appeal to a new working class base. A rabid Never-Trumper at the time, his remarkable road to Damascus conversion to MAGA hero, is the theme Trump is embracing this week.
The first night’s speakers embodied the invitation Trump is extending to prodigal sons and daughters across the country to join him in the new America First Republican Party he has forged. Democrats, independents, Never-Trumpers, all are welcome into his big hopeful tent.
With the former president watching on, Amber Rose, a former Trump-deranged Only Fan model took the stage and declared her new love for him.
“I believed the left wing propaganda that Donald Trump was racist. But after she “looked into all things Donald Trump” she said she realized “These are my people, this is where I belong… and I put the red hat on too.”
If it hadn’t been past Joe Biden’s bedtime, the night would have had the self-described “most pro-union president” gnashing his teeth.
In a stunning rebuke to President Biden, Sean O’Brien, President of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, gave the keynote address on behalf of his 1.3 million members.
“Something is wrong with this country and we need to say it out loud,” he said imploring his “ friends on the Democratic side to embrace collaboration… Working people know our system is broken… There is a political caste system… Inflation is hurting working Americans.
“This has got to change.”
He didn’t quite endorse Trump but his mere presence was an ominous message to the Democrats.
Who knows whether Trump’s open door approach will lure enough Democrats and undecideds in November to give him the landslide election he craves, but he’s giving it a red hot go.
The crowd responded by chanting “We Love Trump.”

They also greeted Mitch Mc-Chicom McConnell with a deluge of boos and catcalls.

So, J.D. Vance. I suppose he could've picked much much worse, but could he have done much better or even marginally better?

Zack Beauchamp is thus not just a doctrinaire leftist; he’s an exceptionally dim bulb. If he thinks you’re smart, you can probably beat the average second grader in a tough game of tic-tac–toe, or parrot the leftist dogmas Beauchamp loves so deeply, albeit ineptly. So Trump’s pick looks disquieting, except that Beauchamp goes on to say that Vance’s “worldview is fundamentally incompatible with the basic principles of American democracy.” When leftists start prattling on about “democracy,” or more commonly, “our democracy,” they mean their own hegemony and dominance of the American public square. If Vance threatens that, Trump has made a good choice after all.
Beauchamp then treats us to a scare paragraph about just what a black-hearted villain Vance really is:
Vance has said that, had he been vice president in 2020, he would have carried out Trump’s scheme for the vice president to overturn the election results. He has fundraised for January 6 rioters. He once called on the Justice Department to open a criminal investigation into a Washington Post columnist who penned a critical piece about Trump. After last week’s assassination attempt on Trump, he attempted to whitewash his radicalism by blaming the shooting on Democrats’ rhetoric about democracy without an iota of evidence.. . . Beauchamp also hates Vance for blaming a leftist’s attempt to murder Trump on the left’s overheated and hysterical rhetoric about the Republican candidate. Vance, you see, is just trying to “whitewash his radicalism.” Never mind all the leftists who have for years now been calling openly for Trump to be killed. In Zack Beauchamp’s tiny Marxist world, they don’t exist.
And so Zack Beauchamp has, in sum, penned a long-form campaign ad for J.D. Vance, and Vox is happily featuring it atop all of its hard-left agitprop. It’s the best testimonial the vice presidential candidate could have wished for.

So, dear friends, given the fact that our systems and society have been damaged and corrupted to such an extent that we are perhaps closer than we've been in nearly 200 years to coming apart at the seams, what does a VP pick really mean in the grand scheme of things, let alone elections?

And yet, there is dissatisfaction from all quarters at the status quo, and if there can be leaders who can make the scales fall from eyes, then that's where we begin and what we have to build on to move forward.
There was one interesting anecdote from yesterday that perhaps gives us a little cause for hope, and I'll take anything at this point.

Tim Robbins once personified the Hollywood Left. The “Bull Durham” star was everywhere during President George W. Bush’s presidency, decrying the Iraq War and attacks on free speech. He hasn’t been as active, or vocal, in recent years. He changed that at the tail end of the pandemic, speaking out against vaccine mandates and the hyper-political climate that turned American against American.
That wisdom, regardless of political party, reared up at the best time over the weekend.
To anyone drawing a parallel between my film Bob Roberts and the attempted assassination of Trump, let’s be clear. What happened yesterday was a real attempt on a presidential candidate’s life.
Those that are denying the assassination attempt was real are truly in a deranged mindset. A human being was shot yesterday. Another killed. They may not be human beings that you agree with politically but for shame folks. Get over your blind hatred of these people. They are fellow Americans. This collective hatred is killing our souls and consuming whatever is left of our humanity.

Considering that far too many of his fellow travelers are still baying for Trump's and our blood, I will take this as a positive sign. Now, let's build on it if we can, however we can?

Have a good day.

34 willowed, because Southern Baptists aren't tolerating the fake and gay stuff. You're welcome in the churches and we want you to come, but you don't wave a flag and celebrate being a sinner:

---

I walked away from the Presbyterian Church. I will have no problem walking away from the Baptist Church.
--

No need to.

I'll just leave this here:

"The Cooperative Baptist Fellowship has its origins in a meeting in Atlanta in 1990 of a group of theologically moderate churches within The Southern Baptist Convention disagreeing about the control of the direction of the convention by fundamentalists, as well as the opposition to the ordination of women.[3][4] The denomination was officially founded in 1991.[5]...By 2018, the Kentucky Baptist Convention within the Southern Baptist Convention proceeded with the excommunication of churches having a dual affiliation with the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, due to a relaxation allowing hiring of non-executive LGBT staff"

49 Good morning! Dang insomnia!
Interesting, from NYPost:
Four sources close to President Biden’s family, including people who interacted with Cheatle during the Obama-Biden administration, said she was well liked by the future first lady and her most senior aides, including top adviser Anthony Bernal.
“Cheatle served on Dr. Biden’s second lady detail and Anthony pushed for her,” a Democratic insider told The Post. “Anthony has no national security or law enforcement experience. He should have no influence over the selection of the USSS director.”

“I heard at the time she was being considered for director that Anthony had pushed her forward as an option,” another well-placed source told The Post.

Bernal, 51, is widely regarded as rivaling even White House chief of staff Jeff Zients in terms of influence over administration decisions.
“Anthony is obsessed with being DEI-compliant,” a third source told The Post. . .

Gah! This is who's running our country - Dr. Jill and Bernal?

64 There's a pretty good chance of a terrorist event at the Olympics this year. Especially if the security is anything like the world class protection provided by the Secret Service.

Posted by: fd at July 16, 2024 07:26 AM (vFG9F)

65 Sources told local Pittsburgh news outlet WPXI that a member of Beaver County's ESU team -- which was helping Secret Service with security during the rally -- noticed the shooter, later identified as Thomas Crooks, on the rooftop he later fired from at 5:45 p.m.

The member of the team then "called it in and took a picture" of Crooks.

Even prior to 5:45 p.m., law enforcement officials had identified Crooks as a suspicious person, multiple sources reportedly told the outlet.

It was 26 minutes later that Trump was shot through the ear.
A Sunday report from the Associated Press also revealed that one local law enforcement official had climbed up onto the roof to confront Crooks moments before the shooting.

Crooks turned and pointed his rifle at the officer.

The officer then fled off the roof back down the ladder he had climbed up.

following threshold question: is there a statute in the United States Code that authorizes the
appointment of Special Counsel Smith to conduct this prosecution? After careful study of this seminal issue, the answer is no. None of the statutes cited as legal authority for the appointment— 28 U.S.C. §§ 509, 510, 515, 533—gives the Attorney General broad inferior-officer appointing power or bestows upon him the right to appoint a federal officer with the kind of prosecutorial
power wielded by Special Counsel Smith. Nor do the Special Counsel’s strained statutory arguments, appeals to inconsistent history, or reliance on out-of-circuit authority persuade otherwise.

Melania is probably both why Trump's politics have moved towards ours since his marriage and why he's rock solid...as said before, the spouse REALLY matters when it comes to who "grows" in office to become a liberal.

appointment of Special Counsel Smith to conduct this prosecution? After careful study of this seminal issue, the answer is no. None of the statutes cited as legal authority for the appointment— 28 U.S.C. §§ 509, 510, 515, 533—gives the Attorney General broad inferior-officer appointing power or bestows upon him the right to appoint a federal officer with the kind of prosecutorial
power wielded by Special Counsel Smith. Nor do the Special Counsel’s strained statutory arguments, appeals to inconsistent history, or reliance on out-of-circuit authority persuade otherwise.

123 In a city as corrupt as Washington, D.C., “investigation” is politico-speak for “cover-up.”
That goes double for Merrick Garland or Chris Wray, the heads of the DOJ and FBI, respectively. Any investigation into this assassination attempt from which they do not recuse themselves is irrevocably poisoned. In fact, any involvement even from their headquarters and D.C. offices is a sure sign the investigations are cover-ups. It’s not even clear that field offices are credible investigators. The best option would be a genuinely independent commission or special prosecutor.

185 Here is one example of a fact check lie:
Trump's Lie about January 6th: "Nancy Pelosi, if you watched the news from two days ago, on tape to her daughter who is a documentary filmmaker they say, but she's saying, 'Oh no, it's my responsibility. I was responsible for this,' because I offered them 10,000 soldiers or National Guard, and she turned them down."

Fact Check: Nancy Pelosi never claimed to be responsible for January 6th. She can be seen on film during the January 6th attack on the Capitol asking local officials to deploy National Guard troops to the Capitol when it became clear Trump wasn't going to deploy the D.C. National Guard.

The TRUTH
WASHINGTON (AP) — Three days before supporters of President Donald Trump rioted at the Capitol, the Pentagon asked the U.S Capitol Police if it needed National Guard manpower. And as the mob descended on the building Wednesday, Justice Department leaders reached out to offer up FBI agents.

The police turned them down both times, according to senior defense officials and two people familiar with the matter.

In some Saturday pix he's sunglasses, behind Trump's left shoulder as Trump is hustled off-stage. In pix last night he is the agent behind Trump.

314 I think the shooter was pretty good. It was God's hand that saved the day.

I'm struggling with this. The Deep State did recruit a cut-out who did take rifle lessons so they did do some homework. The director (a former Biden protector) of the USSS did her job in making sure that all of the tools were in place, and I do agree that Trump turning his head or wind, or whatever dashed Biden's plans to murder the GOP candidate.

Where I struggle is by going all-in where God's hand spared Trump's life (which is an easy call to make). To do so would also mean that Trump's life was spared for a reason. That reason might not be what we think (holding off CW2 might have been that purpose) where the natural instinct is to assume that God will put Trump in as POTUS.

What is in play Right Now is stirring heavily thoughts of Micaiah, who saw the Throne Room of God and reported what he saw (as recorded in 2 Kings)

Apparently, the combination of a 5-mph breeze and Trump slightly turning his head were sufficient to ensure the assassin's bullet(s) grazed his ear, rather than smashed into the middle of his head and brain.

The kid had 30 minutes to walk around, get on the roof and set up his shot. Also, there are 'stories' that the SS snipers were given the "do not fire unless fired upon" order, so Trump was set up to be shot before anything happened, which has NEVER been the case that I'm aware of.

348 Conspiracy thought: They knew the kid was on the roof and we're simply waiting him out. Once he fired his shots, they either thought he'd hit and mortally wounded Trump, or missed, and had to be killed. His usefulness was over. They knew about him and were giving him his chance.

A lot like the scene in Serpico when the other cops wait for Serpico to be shot in the doorway. They knew it was a trap, they could have intervened, but were letting it play out.

Check this infuriating 🧵about Secret Service incompetence:

-Trump had temporary USSS agents for the PA rally

-would normally have 3 sniper teams but only had 1

-sniper team only had 1 day to prep (usually need multiple)

-more USSS resources were diverted to Jill Biden

Susan Crabtree @susancrabtree 19h

Trump decided to hold the rally only a day or two before as I understand it. I also understand that SS rarely says no to the protectee's public event and travel wishes, even at short notice.

Cheatle will probably use this as an excuse for SS (non) performance. Won't wash with the public but the Usual Suspects will scream "It's Trump's Own Fault!"

369 Speaking of projection, from JJ's link D mega-donor Reid Hoffman’s top political advisor, Dmitri Mehlhorn. Donald Trump was shot at 6:11 PM, at 7:34 PM, Mehlhorn sent an email to various journalists.

"...one “possibility -- which feels horrific and alien and absurd in America, but is quite common globally -- is that this ‘shooting’ was encouraged and maybe even staged so Trump could get the photos and benefit from the backlash. This is a classic Russian tactic, such as when Putin killed 300 civilians in 1999 and blamed it on terrorists to ride the backlash to winning power. Others who have embraced this tactic of committing raw evil and then benefitting from the backlash include Hamas on October 7. If any Trump officials encouraged or knew of this attack, that is morally horrific, and Republicans of decency must demand that Trump step down as unfit.

I know I am prone to bias on this, but this is a classic Putin play and given the facts seems more plausible. Look at the actual shot. Look at how ready Trump is to rally. ."

Reid Hoffman faked Russian support for the GOP candidate in an Alabama election, while his advisor is Russian.

370 The things that should have happened with regards to security at Trump's rally did not happen and that was done deliberately.

The only so-called active part of the whole operation was the recruitment of the shooter. The rest of the plan depended on people not being where they were needed. It was not putting agents in predefined locations but by specifically NOT having enough of them.

It's a hard operation to dissect because it was built around things NOT being in place rather than a series of specific events leading up to the shooting. Those events were observed by attendees. And those events will be, and are being discounted.

"We're not enemies", he intones. Sure could have fooled me, you got your wind up toys foaming at the mouth waiting for the go signal, is what it looks like.

Virginia has voted for Democrats in each presidential election since President Barack Obama’s first campaign for the White House in 2008.

The new Virginia Commonwealth University-Wilder School poll, reported by the Washington Post, shows Biden dropping from the 42% support he enjoyed in the last VCU-Wilder poll, released in January, to 36%.

Trump was unchanged at 39%, with the poll suggesting a dip in support for Biden, rather than any substantial gains for Trump.

That's something I've noticed in my particular AO, in the form of political signage for this election. My area is heavily Republican, but my specific town is not. It's Republican with a firm majority, but more Dem concentration than in the rest of the nearby counties. It's a Republican-favoring mix here.

So the signs reflect that. Local city council races, school board, county commissions, state reps, etc. have a mix of signs up around town in front yards. I even still see the one or two Ukraine flags.

But I don't see a single Biden sign anywhere. Not one. Trump signs and flags and bumper stickers are a common sight, but no Biden paraphernalia. At all. Zero. Even houses displaying signs for other Dem candidates don't have one up for Biden.

Around here, anyway, even his voters - and I am sure that most of them *will* pull the lever for Biden - can't bring themselves to put up signs for him.

501 But I don't see a single Biden sign anywhere. Not one. Trump signs and flags and bumper stickers are a common sight, but no Biden paraphernalia. At all. Zero. Even houses displaying signs for other Dem candidates don't have one up for Biden.

Around here, anyway, even his voters - and I am sure that most of them *will* pull the lever for Biden - can't bring themselves to put up signs for him.

Very similar situation here. I live in a university town in a blood-red county. The county seat (my town) is purplish at best. I think there may be one house in town showing a Biden/Harris sign, but that's it. A few signs for Dem officials, but mostly all Republican. Even the bumper stickers for Dems are not as apparent as they've been in the past.

@PopularLiberal HILARIOUS: This should be the headline on every news outlet: Trump dozes off during the RNC Convention, continuing to receive preferential treatment. SLEEPY DONALD!

Right wing news and commentators all claim he's praying. Since he was obviously chosen by God he has a direct line now.

He must be doped up on pain meds. He's swaying as he walks. Others have noted how Trump sways--favors his right leg as he walks.

Bad knees from being overweight is the most likely explanation. And he probably on anti-anxiety medication. He had that midnight emergency that took him to Walter Reed. After that event, people noticed that he was swinging one leg around the other rather than moving it straight forward like in a normal gait. The change in gait would seem to indicate he had a small stroke. The fact that he still favors one leg and has altered gait is further evidence of the stroke hypothesis.

Worse, they'll get better at it. They know now it's all they have.

As a point in all this - had Pence done his job he would not have overturned the election results.

What would have happened is a deep, deep investigation of the election results posted in the 6 stolen states. Now what would have happened as the level of fraud became clearer and clearer is an open question but ultimately it would have provided clarity which is not a bad thing...

Similar to the Cuyahoga, we were a better country when ciggies could advertise, and lawyers couldn't. Yeah, it's a dirty nasty habit, but I can think of quite a few nasty dirty habits that are currently in vogue that are much, much worse.

People, Just ashout out here. I believe Covid is coming back. I've had EVERY vaccinations and for the first time tested positive. Mild symptoms. I was on a trip through Montana Wyoming South Dakota.Had a chance to get Paxlovid but decided not to. (cost $1400, but with Humana it would have been free) If the symptoms would have been worse, i would have gotten it. Since returning home, ive heard of 3 more people testing positive. Be Careful all.

It never went away. This is just the latest mutated strain, made worse by all of those who refused or couldn't be bothered to keep up their vaccinations. I know a few people who had it, and say they've never felt sicker in their lives.

I'm still avoiding crowds for the most part unless I'm outdoors. Like I make sure and be the first in the door at Costco and stuff like that. I wouldn't be surprised to see one of these cruise lines shutting down or a nightmare plague ship again. I keep hearing of people coming back from cruises with COVID.

What this means is a lot of reorganization of rental space where leases are not renewed, but new ones price in a few years of inflation right up front.

I know a few people who have had rental properties as a side business - they saved enough to buy another house in their area and rent out rooms in it.

Each one of them is getting out of the business because it is just getting too risky.

Exactly. And that starts with pointing out that facts matter.

By even discussing Project 2025 in the context of a Trump presidency you are already conceding to a lie.

Absolutely it will vary by location. However even the entire subdivision bought by Blackrock is way overblown. Blackrock owns either directly or indirectly via subsidiaries, 85,000 rentals.

716 Absolutely it will vary by location. However even the entire subdivision bought by Blackrock is way overblown. Blackrock owns either directly or indirectly via subsidiaries, 85,000 rentals. Which sounds like a lot. But there are around 145 million homes in the US. It’s less than 0.1%. It’s a rounding error.

Nationwide, it's not a problem. There are specific localities where it is more concerning.

And those localities should address it, if needed. The assessor is probably in Blackrock's pocket. They can start there.

717 Critical thinking and religion teach you to probe, question and debate in order to find truth. Truth isn’t something you find on the internet, on social media or from your “friend”. It’s a process of discovery and a series of questions and debate based on facts which enable you to lucidly uncover what is authentic and genuine. This is why leftists have corrupted the education system, co-opted social media and despise religion. Those destroy their fallacies, goals, shibboleths and policies as demonstrably destructive, bad and often evil.

Dude, you really don't get this religion thing, if you think it's about "probe, question and debate".

Just look at the First Commandment. One True God - no questioning, no debate allowed.

That's also completely inconsistent with the First Amendment, as well as the main body of the Constitution, for any characters who think America was founded on Christianity.

The mortal debate between Communists and religious authorities comes down to the fact that each of them believes that they own you. An American is supposed to believe that he owns HIMSELF.

I'm a little worried about that. They say Reagan was pretty well reined in after he was shot. There's just something in the back of your head that says "Don't do that - I want to live" after something like that.

Hopefully he calls it a miracle, and really believes it, and can be his old self.

Today, joined by Teamster President Sean O’Brien, AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler, Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh, and Teamster workers and retirees with multiemployer pensions, President Biden announced $36 billion for the Central States Pension Fund, preventing drastic cuts to the hard-earned pensions of over 350,000 union workers and retirees.

In part, "American Rescue Plan prevents pension benefit cuts of roughly 60% in the next few years for over 350,000 Central States Pension Fund workers and retirees."

Very nice, but for: "Prior to the ARP, the PBGC’s multiemployer pension insurance program was itself projected to become insolvent in 2026. Thanks to the ARP, once-struggling multiemployer pension plans will be able pay the full benefits earned by workers and retirees who participate in these plans through at least 2051."

Lastly, some Fed agencies are trying to invent a whole new slew of regulations - impossible for half a century as they couldn't meet legal criteria & therefore became Guidelines - but that's no longer stopping them just as in O&Joe's prior administrations.

Much hatred for PDT, all 'R' Administrations in fact, because the unenforceable "shoulds, woulds, mays and mights" of federal standards are stricken as required. (Well, for other reasons, too, but the national unions do cling to "They're cutting federal standards!")

*That ilk are ALL vampires, imo.

Remember that Anwar Sadat was initially regarded as an interim "caretaker" after Nasser. But he turned out to be a profound and visionary leader. He was so important that the reactionary forces gunned him down to try to reverse the progress that Egypt made under him.

If you're really a Christian, your soul belongs to Christ, and you blindly follow everything Christ is said to have told you (which comes from the religious authorities, of course). If you're Catholic, in particular, ditto for the Pope. That's what faith is all about, a fact that is proudly professed by the faithful.

If you don't want to call that "having someone own your mind", well, let's just say I'm not surprised, but they're literally telling you what to think and do, and you're giving them a blank check about it.

731 Lee Greenwood is a real interesting choice of soundtrack given some decade-plus running jokes on the very very far right. As in, I imagine a few tens of thousands of people had a good laugh when they read about it this morning.
