The Morning Report — 7/18/24

Good Morning Kids. Even an execrable communist like Van Jones gets it right, albeit for purely partisan political expediency.

‘Democrats Are Coming Apart’: Van Jones Notes That COVID Has ‘Stopped’ Biden, While A ‘Bullet Couldn’t Stop Trump’

That's not admiration for Trump. It's despair that his, Jones' fevered dream and that of his fellow travelers, of the object of their hatred, and who and what he represents – America and real Americans – might yet return to the helm to once again derail their century-plus vision of fundamentally destroying the greatest nation and society in history.

If a sickly octogenarian gets a virus, natural or government created in a Chi-Com lab, it's kind of a serious thing. the sickly octogenarian in this case is Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants who the Democrats foisted on us and are stuck with to face off against a man they slimed as Orange Man Bad and are on the verge of transforming into Orange Mandela. The reality is not only because of what they have done to him personally, including a near assassination, but what they through the sundowning demented criminal they stole an election to install as president has done to the nation.

Could this alleged positive test be just what the doctors have ordered to get him out of the way? And replace him with the Cackler or with Brilliantine Newsom or who? Trump I think is or unless the cheat is so gigantically massive or unless they can find another Squeaky Fromme in time, is going to win and pretty substantially come November.

Some very good convention highlights, including Trump's granddaughter as well as recently released Garland Archipelago political prisoner Peter Navarro:

As you may recall, Biden's goons made a spectacle of the arrest, apprehending the then-72-year-old in the Nashville Airport and placing him in handcuffs and leg irons as they sought to humiliate him in public. A swamp jury convicted Navarro and, after his appeals failed, he reported to federal prison last March. "I will walk proudly in there to do my time," Navarro said at a press conference at a gas station, before turning himself in. "I will gather strength from this: Donald John Trump is the nominee."

On Wednesday, Navarro, now 75, was released after serving his four-month sentence in the Miami pen. . .

The crowd went wild when Navarro came out on the stage. He looked good — bright, sharp, well-groomed, and full of vim and vigor. For a full minute, the crowd cheered, women screamed, and people chanted, "Fight! Fight! Fight!" before he could even begin his remarks. And when he finally did speak, every word out of his mouth was pure fire.

Navarro's comments were badass from start to finish. He opened with a joke, now that he's out of prison: "I think you folks just want to know if you can see my MAGA tattoo I got there."

"Yes indeed, this morning, I did walk out of federal prison in Miami," Navarro said. "Joe Biden and his department of injustice put me there." But "Tonight, I'm here with you in this beautiful city of Milwaukee." 

Then he warned, "I got a very simple message for you: if they can come for me, if they can come for Donald Trump, be careful: they will come for you."

"If we don't control our government, their government will control us," Navarro riffed. "If we don't control all three branches of our government — legislative, executive, and judicial — their government will put some of us, like me and Steve Bannon, in prison and control the rest of us."

Very True, but it goes beyond the government. We must take back the culture and society that for decades now has churned out tyrants and thugs who are brainwashed from kindergarten through post-grad to hating their heritage, their birthright and even themselves. From the rooftop sloper Crooks who pulled the trigger to those like John Brennan and Van Jones and all the rest in and out of government and infecting all parts of our society.

That is the real counter-revolution and where the road back to America as founded, rom the multi-generational "Long March" that has led us to the edge of the mass grave of godless communism, begins.

33 In the local news today, the BSA has announced they are selling the regional headquarters building, which is much nicer than it ever needed to be. They are also selling the region's Scout camp, which has been in existence for 97 years. The perfect example of go woke, go broke.

I know that some have had bad experiences with the BSA. I also know that it was a positive influence on many many boys. It's sad to see another institution destroyed by the Left.

36 And virtually every yellow check engine light is emissions related, from O2 sensors throwing codes to "your engine didn't reach operating temperature in time"

I struggle to think of a yellow check engine light that isn't emissions related. IIRC even the flashing ones are emissions-adjacent because they're warning of an event that will potentially mess up the catalytic convertor if driven farther (emissions control).

For a century the BSA knew they had a problem with perverts molesting boys. They have a database of names of these perverts which totals around 8,000.

It's not the end. They're doing a 20% bankruptcy - something that you or I could never get away with. Instead of paying out an average settlement of around three hundred fifty thousands to victims they're only going to get about 10% of that on average. Which is why I'm walking away and not bothering to sign off on my claim. It's an insulting amount.

They climbed into bed with the trial lawyers to put together this shady deal. I expect in another year or two when the smoke settles they'll close the doors, sell off the assets and pocket them.

48 biden has been sitting on his ass doing nothing, time in DE more than being the President and it caught up with him. The debate showed him in all of his broken glory, he had to start appearing more often, he couldn't repeat his basement campaign. He had to show that he's strong enough to lead. Of course he's going downhill rapidly, his body cannot keep up with what is expected of him. The chinese lung rot is a great excuse for him to return to his basement and try to recharge. Won't work this time, he has to come out of the basement, quit or die.

"World's Best Candy Bar" was another door to door fundraiser, that wasn't bad chocolate. They sure got a lot tinier. I bet they need a microscope now. Not sure if the Scouts sold those, probably.

There is also a dirth of how to information online or on youtube.

I just picked up a 1025r and was curious if I could get a used Yanmar 3TNV80 3 cylinder diesel to rebuild and have as a spare, but finding one for sale is like finding a needle in a haystack and if you do find one, you are going to pay around 5k for a very very well used engine.

By contrast, you could get a 6.4L Hemi V8 for around 2k.

It was a strip, a county conservation truck. Bumpers were not installed in Detroit, your local dealer did that for you. Rear bumpers. Even sun shades were optional.

What was cool back then, I guess if you prepaid you could order whatever option engine and this and that, and they would build it for you.

69 The Secret Service offers “leadership training on how best to support LGBTQ+ employees” and “training on unconscious bias” which is the idea that all white people are innately racist, and tries to guide more “more inclusive decisions” while “increasing empathy” for minorities.

I am beginning to understand the idea all whites are racist. It you associate with people with that are competent, educated (classic or hard knocks), and have high expectations (work habits, appearance, or attitudes) you quickly see that a large minority do (can) not meet the standards and cannot do the work.

So this gets labeled racism.

Also, while I don't agree with a lot of what's going on at the RNC, it is very well coordinated with good messaging. Imagine if Ronna McRomney were still running things.

74 It's a tautology that anyone new getting into Trump's circle would have been outside his circle previously. And if you're outside of his circle and trying to get anywhere professionally, it's more or less mandatory to regurgitate the tired asinine boilerplate libels against him. It doesn't necessarily mean you were a True Believer, but it also doesn't show great character.

Plenty of people who aren't political lickspittles trying to make a living off of the grift are not huge fans of Orange Man for various reasons, but also don't buy into the libel. But if you're going to lick the spittle to make a living, you're going to have to say the mantras. That's just how it goes.

Manufacturers can't predict fleet MPG with people ordering what they want willy-nilly. Same with the manual transmission. It was killed because of MPG rating and, interestingly, *noise* emissions.

My own experience. I had to take one of those courses and then I got to the feedback section. Up until then, it was five stars across the board with people gushing about how wonderful it was.

I put one star and got to work. "This program was a complete waste of my time. We're all adults here and if you work in a position like this and don't know how to behave, you should be thrown out."

Within one hour, other one star reviews followed. By the one and a half hour mark, comments were turned off.

Village of Dundrum, Ireland.

Population: 200

For hundreds of years this village was Irish. That’s about to become a rumor, a faint memory, a footnote in history.

There is an overdrive off switch that must be manually flipped when towing. I guess that will roast the transmission in short order if not done.

I have no confidence in the leadership of Director Cheatle and believe it is in the best interest of our nation if she steps down from her position.

Catturd @catturd2 6h
This means 100% - they were people involved that intentionally let this happened.

So let me get this straight...

They knew about the shooter well ahead of time...
- but still let Trump take the stage.
- then let the shooter fire and hit Trump and shoot and kill Trump supporters before they acted.

“We’re just freshening up the space. Making it a bit more current," said communications director Ronnie Reese. "There’s a lot of Chicago icons who would be deserving of statues as well. We should be considering that also — Ida B. Wells, DuSable, Harold Washington.”

158 The whipsawing with *biden being on, then off, then back on, then back off the Democrat's nomination is amusing. We debated whether Trump would be on, or off the Republican ballot at every trial he's been convicted at, or been acquitted.

I think *biden is who they're stuck with. Even if they ditch him the left will never admit he was unfit for office on day one. He'll be allowed to finish out his term. And be hailed as a great president.

162 Interesting Times we live in.
For 29+ years I have heard the cynics/realists state that the President is just a figurehead out up by their Party to get power.

Ever since Trump road down the Golden Escalator from above (freebie for or those that think everything is Cult Trump) this has been proven true. Even if it takes a bit of hindsight to recognize it.

...jumping ahead... Trump needs to run against The Party, not the feeble old man or the cackling cumdumpster. How open he is about that goal is up to him.

Glad you reminded me of the 98 year old WW2 vet. What an amazing life he’s lived! Oh and he was may more cogent and coherent than Joe… he stumbled on the word Afghanistan but so might I in front of a large audience. He’s still clearly all there mentally

Who has the best debunk on the Jan 6th "insurrection" hoax?

My version goes like this:

Explain to me how trespassing in one building leads to conquering the United States.

We know from text messages that Don Jr. wasn't aware of any kind of insurrection plan. Who thinks President Trump would plan an insurrection without telling Don Jr.?

Explain how the alternate (fake) electors could have led to conquering the United States. Can you conquer a country with paperwork?

Have you ever met a Republican who would be okay with Trump, or anyone else, becoming dictator? That's the opposite of being a Republican.

Now compare the Insurrection narrative to the more rational explanation that the protesters and the "fake" electors were all trying to delay certification of what looked to half the country like a non-credible election result, so the sketchiness could be investigated before a big mistake was made.

I'm fine with this. The residents aren't going to know who the statue is anyway. Might as well make it someone totally insignificant that 99.999% of the rest of America can't idenfity either.

169 So critical everything theory has made a generation of revolutionaries and agitators who believe that good is bad and bad is good. So all their leadership caste are atrocitiously bad at retail politics and public speaking, because they trained to be bad. The want to be bad.

Because his social media was professionally scrubbed immediately after the shooting (before?), likely because it was all tranny stuff. As was noted before, those people are insane and can't help but talk about their genitalia constantly. This dude would've been no different. That's why the only photos of him are either of a little kid or as a dead ugly lesbian on a roof.

Biden, who everyone agrees is totally out of it and needs to be replaced ASAP on the election is perfectly fine to continue ruining the country purely because Democrats must WIN. (since maintaining a death grip on America is more important than anything else).

But this same person who can't talk for a few minutes without getting lost in dementia has a brilliant policy to "fix" the Supreme Court.

Biden doesn't have the capacity to even read the abstract of the proposal to demolish the Supreme Court, let alone any ability to understand that which he allegedly proposes.

327 Boy Scout popcorn has been sold through its current supplier since 1980. Before that, fundraising sales projects were chosen at the District level. Cub Scouts sold "Deran's Thin Mints" in the 1960's.

If you are just now noticing that professional youth groups do sales fund-raising, there is something wrong with YOU, and you have really obviously never been a Scout leader.

Boy Scouts in the US was a business venture from its founding. Some of the frail complaints we're seeing just don't ring true.

My question was in context to someone mocking Dems for booing God. It was also clearly prohibited for Christians to marry pagans unless you were already married when you got saved, in which case, stay married and win them to Christ if they don't kill you first.

I think we are seeing signs that the RNC is trying to turn that super tanker from Mimetic scapegoating (focusing all of the world's problems on one person) to the party in general.

The problem is, and the Demon party knows this, is that its much harder to rally against an idea (eg. "Antifa is just an idea") than against a real flesh and blood entity. The Demons are trying to discredit MAGA, but get more mileage out of going after Trump.

People are wired to hate a person, it takes effort to hate an entire demographic, but when enough propaganda hits, you get the Mass Formation Psychosis that gave the world the Holocaust. (but it took thousands of years to get there)

352 A stroll down memory lane for Ronnie's second term:

On SNL, Phil Hartmann portrayed Reagan as a buffoon in public, but an evil mastermind in private. Ronnie was actually a closet intellectual (a fan of Hayek ... not that Hayek, the other one).

Reagan dealt with Iran/Iraq by selling arms to both and then getting them into a shooting war with each other. He then used the profits from the Iran sales to fund anti-Communist rebels in Nicaragua which got him in trouble with Irangate.

Marine Colonel Oliver North ran the operation but in the Irangate Congressional hearings he said it was totally his own idea, thus shielding Reagan.

They subpoenaed Fawn Hall, Ollie's secretary, to try to undermine his testimony. Draws dropped when this unknown walked into the Congressional hearings. She covered for her boss.

NEW: Sources tell me DHS Secretary Mayorkas is stonewalling the release of this DHS IG report, which would include any security failures or perhaps involvement by the Secret Service on January 6.

For 2 years, the Biden White House, Democrats in Congress, and the media have attacked DHS IG Joseph Cuffari, who discovered that all of the texts belonging to roughly two dozen Secret Service officials including the head of USSS related to Jan 6 had been deleted at the end of January 2021--under the Biden regime.

Cuffari sought a criminal investigation into the purge of the messages--which occurred AFTER Democrats notified each federal agency to preserve all records and documents for Jan 6.

Instead, the J6 Committee and Biden White House started to smear Cuffari, claiming he failed to notify Congress about the missing texts--which is not true.

Cuffari today announced an inquiry into the Secret Service for the attempted assassination of Donald Trump.

Not at all. I would point to the Church Fathers or numerous attempts of conversions or dialogue over the centuries. Paul's conversion attempts regarding the Unknown God.

You come from the perspective of a world that was always predominantly Christian. But that's not how things were, nor how things are in conversion of pagan lands. Expecting Pagans to be treated in a subordinate manner is not reasonable in a lot of contexts.

A pagan "god" can be interpreted as a movement toward a prototype of God, a yearning toward the call everyone has toward their creator. Only revelation reveals to us additional information and access to grace. So you can excuse a culture in which revelation has not been accessed and why God kept forgiving and revealing to the ancient Hebrews. The only unforgivable sin is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit which means despair of forgiveness. Therefore, the hard no is worse than the soft allowance and hopeful communal ecumenism.

For example, do you think a theological debate between religious authorities would not open with prayers?

Comity with pagans is not immoral. You would scarce be able to converse with them otherwise.

It is an unreasonable expectation that Pagans would immediately accept being subordinate or second-class.

The lack of support and the fact that respected leaders are arguing that Biden should drop out has done, this late in the campaign, perhaps insurmountable damage to the Democratic ticket, never mind who in the end is running. Don’t our leaders see that? If not, they are not fit to lead.

This makes no sense. Like a handful of Democratic lawmakers are going to be like "Sorry, all you millions of Biden supporters who selected Biden to win the primaries, we've decided we're going to force Joe out and replace him with someone. We can't tell you who, and we can't tell you why. You just have to trust that we know better. Also you'd better get over yourselves and still vote for whoever our chosen replacement is, because we say so."

Joy Reid said there is gamesmanship happening--focusing on the 2028 candidates, including talk of pushing out Harris!

492 President Joe Biden’s heated verbal attacks on his reelection opponent and demand that he be stopped at all costs “led directly” to the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, a huge swath of likely voters believe.

What’s more, voters believe that those attacks backfired when a lone 20-year-old rifleman tried and failed to kill Trump Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh.

According to the latest Rasmussen Reports survey shared fully with Secrets, 44% believe that it is now “more likely” that Trump will win versus just 13% who don’t.

This is just historically inaccurate. Conversion overwhelmingly depended on reason and dialogue, Christians were in no position to be persecuting anyone in the first few centuries.

Women should not be allowed to do certain jobs. Full stop. Protection duty for SS protectees is one of the jobs they should not even be considered for. A 5 foot 4 woman does not have the height to shield a 6 foot 4 man from bullets. And that is leaving aside the shifty gun control.

You are assuming all religions are polytheistic at their core. That's not so. All monotheists worship the same God (there's really no choice in that). Many misunderstand Him, but that's different. It's a legitimate question what Asian religions do and do not worship. At least some of them. There is no question that Plato, Aristotle, and Cicero were all monotheists. Some Hindus, Buddhists, and Confucians seem to be, but I don't know enough to say. The Biblical injunctions are clearly directed against polytheism. Which may involve worshiping nothing, or sometimes, demons.

The US is not a theocracy and dabbling with promoting one or more religions as some sort of political asset is just playing with fire.

Either the spirit world exists and has a real effect on life, or you can intellectually dismiss the idea. In either case, syncretizing a religion for political gain is a real bad strategery.

You want God's guidance? Then privately get with a collection of fellow believers and make known your petitions to God, not pretend to worship God and demons and think that is OK. It isn't.

It was in no position to control what people outside its authority taught, which is going to be the Pagan world in that age. We have plenty of Christian and Pagan dialogues/arguments from that era.

Do you believe the early Christians did not engage with Pagans?

Do you imagine that Pagans and Christians would not pray publicly and ceremoniously? That no Christians were part of the government before Constantine when there undoubtedly would have been pagan rituals as part of public events?

There is a specific thing to which you object here, that a Pagan is praying in a public and ceremonial fashion at a political event. I say to you that this has been seen many times over in the process of converting the world.

True, but in some ways it has made us stronger. Look at the Dems...they usually use force and shadowy shenanigans to stifle dissent (how the shut down Bernie. Twice).

Now, they have some internal, publicized dissent, and they're freaking out. That's just another day ending in "Y" in Trump's republican party

636 I do not think Christians were welcome in the early church period to pray publicly. I think they eventually integrated into Roman culture and I'm sure it happened, but always with the possibility that it would incite persecution. I don't think it's the ideal. I also think it's worth noting that Republicans are now inviting pagans to open their convention. I don't think it's a good thing in the least and as has been pointed out, we know better now and are culpable in a very Romans 1 way. But regardless, if you're going to mock the Dems for insulting God and rejecting him, it's probably worth noting that Republicans are now insulting God and rejecting him.

I think the pre-Constatine Christians were mainly decorating Nero's garden parties as lanterns, found reprieve in the catacombs, and were dragged into synagogues and courts for persecution.

From a categorization perspective, different concepts (which different sects of Christianity may hold as well) is fuzzy compared to the same individual which they self-regard as worshipping. How different does a concept of God have to be in order to be regarded as distinct?

Your initial assumption about what I assume is incorrect.

Similarly, your "same god" assumption is also incorrect. This is an internal Christian assumption. Judaism and Islam disagree.

Yes, he is an ancestor.

To the person wondering about WHH, He was sworn in and was in a month. He was religious, a Presbyterian, and pretty devout. He was a Whig, and by all accounts concerned about the nation. Tyler, BTW was a childhood neighbor.

It does, but how about it chose both? PDT has his 'martyr moment' as the left is calling it & the pressure has been revved up on the Bidens as a whole.

There's the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy & Global Engagement of the University of Pennsylvania, located in Washington, D.C, founded 2018.

There's also The Joseph Biden, Jr. School of Public Policy and Administration at the University of DE. (The Biden Institute, part of the School of Public Policy and Administration, was also launched at the university. Valerie Biden Owens is Chair.) And, The Beau Biden Foundation.

Biden has lost all capacity to manage anything and engage in the Elder Statesman public speaking tour circuit, to bring in the big bucks & invitations as do the Clintons and Obamas. That seems to leave current FLOTUS and FJB's sister out in the speech-making, brainstorming & commentary on democratic political policies circuit.
