The Morning Report — 8/2/24

Good Morning Kids. This manufactured kerfuffle of Donald Trump pointing out COmmie-Chameleon Kamala for not really being black only underscores the toxicity and hypocrisy of racial politics. Harris herself had downplayed being black, and identified more with being of Indian (dot not feather) descent. The crime here of course is that a white, non-Leftist man has correctly called here out on it. As a commenter here once said, all she is doing along with her party is the equivalent of donning political blackface while waving the race card in an effort to retain and excite the black voting bloc to not wander off the plantation and either stay home or even vote for Trump.

This garbage is nothing new. Obama did it back in the run-up to 2008. Recall that it was Biden himself who declared Obama "clean and articulate," who can easily speak jive when he had to. Remember that it's this party and cultural movement that looks at any black person who does not embrace the myth of perpetual victimhood and institutional white supremacy as being inauthentic, as being an oreo, a race-traitor, or house you-know-what. Look at what they have been doing to Clarence Thomas since his confirmation hearing in 1991, and Joe Biden was a chief inquisitor in that disgusting episode.

interestingly enough, it was 36 years ago yesterday that the late Rush Limbaugh of blessed memory went national. Recall the shitstorm that swirled around him back in 2008 with his parody song "Barack the Magic Negro." He was ripped to shreds not because it was racist but because it was spot on.

And he didn't even write it! All he did was use the very words from an LA Times editorial by one David Ehrenstein who proclaimed Obama to be a magic negro.

So now we have Commie Chameleon doing what Hillary Clinton did and affecting a black American accent!

Remember, in order to be an "authentic" anything you have to be a leftist. So it has nothing to do with melanin, chromosomes, ancestry or genitals.

So an Algerian junk-tucker beats the shit out of an Italian female boxer and, now get ready, it's a Hungarian woman's turn to experience Diversity right in the head!

On that note, suddenly Mark Kelly's chances at being this harridan's veep pick are fading. For a rather interesting reason:

Sen. Mark Kelly’s (D., Ariz.) messy divorce—including a restraining order filed against him by his ex-wife and his own request to have her put behind bars—is likely to come back to haunt him as Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris eyes him as a potential running mate. While reports indicate that Harris’s team has privately met with both Kelly and Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro in consideration for the role, Wall Street insiders are reportedly speculating that Harris will choose a governor instead of Kelly. Axios reported on Wednesday that Harris has been ramping up her Wall Street fundraising, noting that the financial industry is restricted from donating to campaigns once a sitting governor is on the ticket.
If Kelly is passed over for the role, his business connections to China and tumultuous divorce could be to blame. While Kelly has described his divorce as "amicable," court records contradict that description.

THis is about his first wife, not Gabby Giffords, whom he has shamelessly used for the sole purpose of advancing his political career. Then again, she was and remains a Democrat, so I assume she didn't necessarily object, nor the party, so long as the long march leftward did not falter.

Meanwhile, the Biden junta arranged a prisoner swap with the hated Vladimir Putin, who is after all Donald Trump's controller! Funny considering the last person Putin wants to see back in the Oval office is Trump.

The Biden team, Kamala, and their media are the exchange of criminals for hostages as some sort of diplomatic triumph. The reality is that Biden once again encouraged and rewarded taking Americans hostage. The only outcome of this “diplomatic triumph” will be that when Russia, China, Iran, or any other enemy nation wants to spring some of its operatives, they’ll lock up a few Americans. It works so why not keep doing it?
. . . Worse still, Biden didn’t make this deal to save Americans, but to prop up a presidential campaign. If the deal appeared somewhat less bad than previous deals it was because Putin was rushing to get this in ahead of a possible Trump presidency. He knew he was going to get a better deal from Biden than Trump and he wasn’t disappointed.

Bingo.

Have a good weekend.

As Congress continues to negotiate the overdue Farm Bill, climate activists and money managers with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) agendas seek to reshape the Farm Bill reauthorization into an ideological weapon against everyday Americans. The same unelected elites who have used ESG to cripple America’s financial and energy sectors are now targeting our farmers and ranchers. It’s not hard to see where ESG extremists want to take this. In the Netherlands, the government required farmers to cut emissions by up to 70 percent and reduce livestock by a third overall, telling them that “there is not a future for all” farmers.

According to Nate Silver, Kamala Harris is "a modest underdog to Trump in the Electoral College, risking a repeat of the popular vote-Electoral College split that cost Democrats the 2000 and 2016 elections." Joe Biden similarly had a huge Electoral College-popular vote gap in 2020 where his victory hinged on less than 50,000 votes in just a few battleground states. Silver writes that Harris has "a slightly wider popular vote-Electoral College gap than Biden had in his version of the forecast."

21 “The mass migration of people within the country, which the commissioner seeks to chill or prevent, is an issue reserved by the Constitution for Congress, lest the United States fall to a regime of Balkanization with each state setting fort a patchwork of inconsistent criteria for crossing state lines,” Judge Rosado wrote in the order.

While the order is correct, the reasoning is utter bullshit. Persons in the US have the right to freely travel between the states. If NY has a problem with these migrants then they need to take it up with the federal government, controlled by their party, for allowing them to be in the country.

34 Harris will, sooner or later have to face the press. Most of the media is sympathetic to her, so it'll be Obama 2.0 all over again. However, that does not mean she is in anyway articulate. It's not always about the softball questions.

Can Harris string a coherent set of sentences together?

I seriously doubt it. What few snippets there are illustrate this. At some point, maybe not all that often, but it will happen, she'll have to actually speak at some length.

42 To bridge the optics of his being half-white and being raised well-off, Obama spent time in the Alinsky trenches and married Michelle (shudders).

Kamala has shown no such personal commitment to the cause. Black men already hate her, and Trump hasn't started on her. He's going to club her like a baby seal in any debate.

I thought the only way the Ds could avoid a down ticket disaster was to run Hillary. Looks like they're stuck with Kamala. Let us pray!

SF Goth above points out something very correct. NYS Supreme Court is the trial level of the state court system, which is the lowest level. Sometimes county courts are also called county supreme courts which are where criminal cases are heard.
Directly above each are the NT appellate divisions, which hears the first appeal.
Above all others is the NY Court of Appeals, the highest court in the state.
I've been trying to find which NY supreme Court made that decision but have had no luck so far

57 It was bullshit when they said Putin wanted Trump in office before, instead of the lady he'd already bribed during the U1 deal, and on whom he had actual kompromat because of her ridiculous """private""" email server.

But now? I'm not so sure. Trump makes him nervous for a raft of reasons, no doubt. Not least, it would necessarily mean a period of retrenchment for Russia and her ambitions.

But he also very much wants a settlement in Ukraine, and a Trump presidency would make that likely to happen much more quickly and at much less cost to Russia.

IOW, who knows who he really prefers at this point? But, it also doesn't matter much.

I would further argue our economy has been set up to discourage household and family formation. What 30 year old making annual median salary of $55,000 can afford to date or move out of mom's basement?

An apartment would take more than half the take-home pay. A car take another chunk. Inflation is hitting these folks hardest, it is the most regressive tax.

So yes there are social and cultural challenges, but fiscal ones too.

Absolutely.

Sentences are groups of words. Words are collections of letters. Letters are a way to communicate with other people. So sentences are a way to communicate with lots of other people. Imagine a Venn diagram...

Perfectly coherent. Meaningless but understandable. Perfect for the sorts of people who would support her because she isn't white and has tits.

The idea that Putin would want Trump is laughable, Trumps first order of business will be to unleash US energy production which will drive down the price of oil, which is Russians main economic export, thus reducing revenue, thus making Russia poorer. Which would prevent Russia from being able to go on expansionist adventures.

Trump also seeks to end wars and stabilize regions , which provides peace and prosperity generally.

It's no wonder the Deep State doesn't want Trump behind the resolute desk ever again.

There was this guy named Osama Bin Laden whom we funded when he was going after the Russians in Afghanistan and then "we sort of lost track of him" and then he popped up on 9/11, and gave the Global Deep State all the excuse they needed to increase their power and "spread more democracy" MIC style.

She's blanketing social media sites with a nonstop barrage of ads that show literally nothing about what her real history is. Even Joe Rogan has been psyoped into believing she's inevitable. That's how fast the tables have turned from her being someone everyone hated to the 2nd coming of Jesus. Trump will get 1 debate with her at best. And it will be all moderators, plus her, against him. Time is very short to show the people what this dumb and radical ho is really all about. Couple in the immense fraud that's coming, there are so many things are stacked against us. There isn't even a fig leaf of fairness left.

I had a boss back in the day that was dead set against WFH. I asked him "If people want to give their time at home back to the company by logging in and working whenever they want, why wouldn't you let them do that?"

He never changed his mind. I now work from home as much as I do from the office, but limit it to standard working hours in most cases.

As part of his role in the military wing, Al-Ghoul instructed other operatives on how to record operations and was actively involved in recording and publicizing attacks against IDF troops. His activities in the field were a vital part of Hamas’ military activity.

The IDF and ISA are operating in order to eliminate terrorists who participated in the October 7th Massacre and will continue to do so.

Then sometime in 2023 it dawned on the knuckleheads running the place that their WFH productivity was garbage (we do the kind of monstrous engineering jobs that require extensive collaboration…. that kind of collaboration only happens efficiently in person). Well from March 2020 onward I always went to the office because that’s what I preferred and no one stopped me (there were times I had to go through body temperature reading scanners or nurses to get in the building but I went). Now they’ve been trying (unsuccessfully) to coax the remote workers back. Just recently they gave that up and are now forcing everyone back (under penalty of job loss)…. I just laugh.

Brown was a prolific slave owner in the context of Jamaican society and was associated with a large number of claims, twenty-five in total, he owned 1,120 slaves most of them on sugar plantations in Saint Ann Parish and received a £24,144
(equivalent to £2.89 million in 2024[12]) payment at the time.

Brown was active in trying to recruit Irish people to work in Jamaica. In December 1835, 121 people from Ballymoney, Co. Antrim, set off from Belfast for Jamaica on the James Ray, a brig owned by Brown. They settled in St Ann. In 1836 he brought a further 185 Irish people to Saint Ann. An effort by planters in 1840 to encourage large-scale Irish migration to Jamaica to settle lands that might otherwise be occupied by newly freed slaves, failed after the project was criticized in Ireland as potentially transforming the migrants into slaves.

I see from JJ's top illustration that we're still pickin' on that poor little DEI hire Kalamatie. It's not her fault. Just like the Big Guy, whom we (almost) don't have to kick around any more. She's just a victim of unfortunate upbringing. And a lifetime of bad choices. And stupidity.

Hey, I said it yesterday, but I watched the golden combover enter the "persons of dark colors journalists" lion's den, and I recommend it. I was prepared to cringe as President shoot-from-the-hip faced that likely-hostile bunch, but he had them largely laughing and on his side from the outset, calling out the angry TDS woman. But rightly praising the friendly gal. My admiration is undiminished for PDJT's ability to stay on-topic (his own) and think on his feet. ICYMI, from RSBN:

310 Like if I wanted to say have a good day as Kamala, I would say:

"Days can be good or days can be bad but wishing you a good day is something I would like to do today because a good day is always better than a bad one and we would all like to have a good day, but most of all I would like you to have a good day, today."

But what Kamala *actually* does is not wish you a good day at all. She says nothing and takes even longer:

"Days are important. And when I says that days are important I mean that we can have both good and bad days, and you, as a person, know what that's like. And what's most important is having a good day because when we have good days we can make that day better for everybody else."

348 The answer is that SHE was born female. This is a manufactured controversy about not one, but two, powerful star women boxers who were disqualified by another body using outdated and unscientific rules in a previous world competition. The IOC rules are based on the best science available, and you can bet they vetted her extra hard. She passed without issue.

So, no controversy except in the puny-minds of those whose understanding of genetics and sexual development stopped in 5th grade.

Imane Khelif of Algeria and Lin Yu-ting of Taiwan are both female, not transgender. Some women are naturally high testosterone. Such women might take up boxing and be very good at it. Conservatives are spewing misinformation to promote their own agenda.

Supposedly they tested as XY which is a genetic male. It would be rare for someone who is born female to test XY.

The loser lost because she -- unlike Khelif's previous opponents in her long career as a female boxer -- quit. I'm sure we'll see this before too long on Fox, in another pathetic attempt to frame powerful and successful women as...men.

They're trying to sweeten their misogyny by coating it in transphobia.

Umar Kremlin, president of the International Boxing Association, claimed the tests had shown that Khelif and Lin had “XY chromosomes”.

He alleged that his organisation had “uncovered athletes who were trying to fool their colleagues and pretend to be women”. The IBA have since been stripped of the right to run Olympic boxing competitions amid concerns over their governance, with the IOC imposing more forgiving eligibility rules.

366 Turns out it's the IOC that's weak.

In March 2023, Khelif was disqualified for failing to meet eligibility criteria shortly before her gold medal bout at the 2023 IBA Women's World Boxing Championships. The Algerian Olympic Committee said Khelif was disqualified for medical reasons. It later emerged that the disqualification was due to high levels of testosterone.International Boxing Association president Umar Kremlev claimed that the DNA test results of Khelif and other athletes "proved they had XY chromosomes". Khelif made an appeal before the Court of Arbitration for Sport but later withdrew it, making the IBA decision legally binding. In 2024, the IBA said that Khelif and others "did not undergo a testosterone examination but were subject to a separate and recognised test, whereby the specifics remain confidential".

I wonder why the boxer did that?
Discovery is a bitch.

On Tuesday, presumptive democrat nominee Kamala will likely pick Josh Shapiro as her VP running mate at a rally in Philly.

No doubt, democrats are making this play because — as I’ve said all along — Pennsylvania wins the White House.

Our work registering voters in PA, flipping counties from 🔵🔜🔴, is likely forcing them to make this decision.

In my opinion, Josh Shapiro’s faith will be an issue, as the democrat party’s embrace of anti-Semitism & support for Hamas will continues to rear its ugly head in violent protests across the country.

If you want to elect Donald Trump, then help me win Pennsylvania.

The IOC is weak.
Umar Kremlin, president of the International Boxing Association, claimed the tests had shown that Khelif and Lin had “XY chromosomes”.

He alleged that his organisation had “uncovered athletes who were trying to fool their colleagues and pretend to be women”. The IBA have since been stripped of the right to run Olympic boxing competitions amid concerns over their governance, with the IOC imposing more forgiving eligibility rules.

It might give them some consolation if they understood what is going to happen to the terrorists. There is only one place for incarceration of terrorists in the US: ADX Florence. These particular individuals qualify for Range 13.

I guarantee, once they arrive there, they will spend the rest of their lives wishing they could somehow make it back to Guantanamo. There is no death penalty the US can impose that comes anywhere near the sheer horror of life without parole at ADX Florence.

Venezuela's election didn't turn out quite like Maduro claims it did

https://is.gd/FCbkPK

Anaida Poilievre, Special to National Post
How Venezuela’s opposition outfoxed socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro

...
This happened through a well-coordinated effort led by María Corina Machado. She mobilized an entire nation, with more than seven million voters showing up for Edmundo González and about 3.2 million for Maduro. The slogan “hasta el final” (until the end) has become a rallying cry for a nation determined to see through its fight for a brighter future. Machado’s clever planning on election night was a game-changer.

Each voting machine works like a cash register: when it closes, it prints and sends out a receipt called an “acta” with a unique code, a QR code, and an e-signature. Scrutineers sign the actas and are entitled to a copy. The opposition, more united and organized than ever before, mobilized tens of thousands of scrutineers to oversee the election process across the country. This time, they were ready. They swiftly collected and uploaded the actas online, creating robust proof of the true vote count.

Yeah, on the one hand, this would be the best approach.

But on the other hand, Trump is attacking Kamala on her record, it's the MSM that amplifies only these statements. And while, yes, this is Trump taking the bait, he has never accepted anything about an opponent being off-limits for discussion. He was willing to say things about Hillary and Joe that no other politician ever said, and we've loved him for that -- that he doesn't play the GOPe "I must respect my opponent enough to not say mean things" approach. So you get cringe mixed in with the bullseyes.

Trump is Trump, he won't change, so arguing over whether he shouldn't have said or tweeted this cringey thing or that is pointless, IMO.

Who's "we"? Trump was asked about it, so he answered. One bit of a thirty-minute interview that was always going to be about race (it's a "black journalists" organization, FFS, an explicitly racist organization is going to fixate on race). He spent the rest of the interview, and all the time since then, and all the time before then, pointing out what an incompetent useless zero Kamala is.

Of course the media is going to amplify the only part they can. Blaming Trump for that is ... bizarre.
