The Morning Report — 8/22/24

Good morning kids. As Ace reported late yesterday, there is considerable scuttlebutt that RFK Jr, might actually endorse Donald Trump, perhaps tomorrow. And as our fearless leader said this would be kind of a big deal, were it to happen. Going back several months, when he decided to run as an independent given the fact that the party that is or at least was synonymous with his family name screwed him over in his quest for the nomination.

Considering that the Democrat Party, which as history shows us with absolute crystal clarity has never been in alignment with America as founded and has been absolutely subsumed now by ideologically-driven venal tyrants whose hatred for this nation as founded and those who are trying to at least attempt to reverse the trajectory of national suicide they and their lot have put us on is out in the open for all who still have eyes and a somewhat open mind to see, and are repulsed by it.

Make no mistake, RFK Jr. was and is at the very least a doctrinaire liberal, if not an outright leftist. His positions on several crucial issues, most notably free speech while certainly admirable and on the right side still did not make him a serious choice as Trump's running mate as some had suggested a while back. But that said, his pedigree still makes those on the other side of the divide sit up and take notice.

The one area that to the best of my knowledge he has been silent on has been both Israel and the eruption of overt anti-semitism here in the states emanating from the top down within his own party and with the base, both Muslims and braindead brainwashed liberals on college campuses, and in full view right outside the DNC itself. Considering his father was gunned down by Sirhan Sirhan, a so-called "Palestinian" angry about the former's unwavering support of Israel. And the irony of what's going on today hits rather close to home for the son, I would think.

With that preamble, my own view of an RFK Jr. Trump endorsement is it can't hurt Trump but it might make quite a few Democrats scratch their heads and mutter Norman Coordinate! (Star Trek reference).

It's not just his endorsement, but all the societal and economic destruction with the world on the verge of global conflict that everyone is feeling, that this would underscore. That is, it's the fault of Biden-Harris.

For all the recent finger-wagging between Democrats and Republicans over who’s the weirdest, the runaway winner in the weirdo Olympics is Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Between the creepiness of his personal peccadillos to brain worms(!) to leaving a bear corpse in Central Park(!!), RFK Jr. is a very odd duck. . .
. . . But he had a famous name, the faint whiff of legitimacy, and the bankroll of a billionaire (courtesy of his running mate, Nicole Shanahan). That combination isn’t enough to take you all the way to the finish line, but it certainly gets your foot in the door.
And that was enough to terrify the Democrats.
So they conspired to undermine his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination. Just as they did to protect Hillary Clinton, they rigged the rules and tilted the playing field. This is what they do. In the past, other Democrats bent their knees accordingly and went along with it (looking at you, Bernie Sanders), and the Democrats assumed RFK Jr. would do the same.

. . .Statisticians and pollsters are still crunching the numbers (and arguing over what they mean), but most evidence indicates that RFK Jr. leaving the race would benefit Donald Trump.
But that’s not going to be the true benefit of his endorsement. It’s actually bigger than that.
This is the week of the Democratic National Convention — the Democrats’ high-water mark. Their entire strategy is to use Kamala Harris’s acceptance speech to kick off their campaign in earnest, delivering Democrats up and down the ticket the momentum they’ll need to carry them to November. And you can bet your bottom dollar that among the key messages in Harris’s speech will be “us versus them” — the power of light to defeat the darkness of evil. (It’s interesting: For all the talk about the GOP being influenced by organized religion, Democrats speak in apocalyptic prose so often, it’s almost a cliché. They might not believe in Revelations, but they sure love the imagery.)
In politics, momentum is an elusive thing. Sometimes, when you lose it, you never get it back.
The value of a potential RFK Jr. endorsement is that it’s deadweight on the Democrats’ post-convention momentum. He saps their rocket fuel. Next week, instead of everyone talking about the DNC and how beautiful/intelligent/Obama-y Harris was, people will be talking, at least in part, about RFK Jr.’s endorsement.

I really cannot know what's in his heart and in his brain worm invaded mind. But the fact that his own party did not want him in a position to potentially become president must mean he recognizes as we all do that the Democrats are not what they were, or that their mythology pimped them as. That is the supposed party of the people and oppressed. Despite the fact that he chose a hardcore leftist as his running mate (more a political move to gain the seal of approval and votes of those within the base that aren't thrilled with Biden. RFK Jr. strikes me as someone that can be reasoned with on issues like the first amendment, big government overreach and fascistic cronyism vis a vis the vaccine mandates. So, that's not a bad thing in the long run.

Will the scales fall from RFK Jr.'s eyes and will he finally shed his red diapers? That might be a tall ask, but it has happened to others in the past, and given what he has personally endured throughout his life, it's a possibility. As for right now, endorsing Trump is a net positive. Because the inevitable attacks from the Dems will put a spotlight on his positions and stand in further stark contrast to their own disastrous policies, which are turning off quite a large number of their own base at a most inopportune moment. Election-thievery and rigging notwithstanding.

And with that, the interminable Nuremberg rally redux that is the DNC 2024 grinds on.

Have a good day, everyone.

Adding to this point, Illinois Gov. J.B.

If she cleaned it up, why isn't she campaigning on that message? Instead, she's claiming that she will fix all these problems that still exist. Remember, when Biden and Harris took office, they had majorities in the House and Senate. They didn't clean up any messes from Trump; they made their own messes, and Kamala now claims that she'll fix them. It doesn't make any sense.

23 "The OC Md tram is a 4x4 that pulls trailers with bench seating. In some sections, it uses the same walkway as pedestrians. It is incredibly stupid. The city will be sued into oblivion."

Having ridden that tram more times than I can count, the fact that two days after the child was struck and killed being unable to locate and notify the next of kin, presumed by me to be the parents, is more problematic to me.

Tram paths are clearly marked, the vehicles use distinctive warning sounds, and the drivers and ticket takers are very observant.

Those trams probably have a better safety record per passenger mile than even air travel does.

To me it seems as if RFK Jr was going to pull from Biden about 8%. Then once he dropped out, the RFK Jr people found Kamala acceptable... at first. But that honeymoon is over, and they're moving to Trump.

Independents are solidly Trump by almost 10 points. So the gaslighting is to poll a high proportion of (D) voters.

I can see RFK Jr in some health related position in the Trump administration. Skepticism is good in some areas.

Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul signed the “Early Mail Voter Act” into law in 2023. The law allows anyone to receive an early mail-in ballot with no excuse necessary. Only five Democrats in the state legislature opposed the legislation, alongside the entire Republican delegation.

MSM will ignore it. Kamala and the DNC is moving on from the weird theme which was not working for them.

Basically, mentioning RFK by the MSM means that people might get curious why he is endorsing Trump which leads those people astray from the Dems. Casual voters still have a good impression about the Kennedys more or less.

Goodness, how are you protected? Should someone using the "incorrect" pronouns suffer a fine? Perhaps imprisonment? I ask because my is a first-person, singular, possessive pronoun. You (damn, that's a second-person, singular pronoun... this is tricky) used "my" to refer to yourself (second-person, singular, reflexive) and appear to have accepted it (also a pronoun but pronouns aren't insane so it's okay).

You can dig up the interview where RFK points the finger at who he thinks was the real assassin. A CIA affiliated temp security guard and who had a female CIA handler. He puts their specific names out there.

It would make sense if the CIA and LBJ were involved in JFK's assassination that they would not want Bobby in the big chair. In 1968, Bobby probably would have won.

Somewhere long ago, if I remember correctly, Nixon did an interview post presidency where he believed that the CIA did JFK in too.

Pompeo as former CIA director and Haspel who was Trump's CIA director at the end of the administration was adamant that Trump not release the entire JFK assassination file despite a law that granted PDT that power.

Biden, notably, has not release any more information either.

But after 3 days of this DNC, I really think this election is done. We are just going to twiddle our thumbs until November.

Democrats have nothing, and the voters know it. They are going down in the polling while this goes on. Trump is rising in the betting markets while the convention is ongoing. I've never seen anything like this.

I think the voters have made up their minds. Now we have to see how much fraud the Democrats can come up with, whether or not the GOP is serious about GOTV, whether or not the GOP has any answer for rampant fraud, and will the establishment murder Trump to stay in power.

I think the time of deciding is over and the voters have chosen Trump.

So it is with pharmaceutical advertising comprising 75% of the revenue of tv and radio. They own the media.

You think the media is doing their masters bidding? I sure do.

Contrary to popular belief--eye witness testimony is often diametrically opposed to the truth because witnesses vary widely in their ability to recall facts but many are reluctant to admit to being a poor witness. Many wrongful convictions are based on 'eyewitness' testimony rather than forensic evidence.

In fact, more eyewitnesses mean more garbage information to sort out from the valid so ironically one witness that is credible can be submerged in a sea of bad witnesses.

231 Extremist pro-Hamas protestors, or WEF enthusiasts?

Chicago Police and the FBI is investigating whether maggots were intentionally slipped into a breakfast prepared for delegates attending the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, a law enforcement source tells WGN Investigates.

Waiting for someone to pop up to say all protests are good and the American way. I don't recall BLM ever putting maggots in anyone's food. Maybe I missed it?

To Be Fair, Sir: 'Black Lives Matter' Was Out To Police The Police, Not In Open Support For Hamas. A person's aim displays their character.

They also did this to Netanyahu. But his group was only a dozen or so, not hundreds.. Also, I'm sure his security is much better than security for DNC delegates.

Some delegates witnessed it happening. "two women who had hidden themselves in the bathroom...and they ran out and threw maggots into the breakfast buffet."

We've been plagued by Magats for 9 years now. We're getting used to it

The simple truth is they control enough voting apparatuses in enough locales to fortify the election.

But Trump still has a narrow path to victory, it runs through Ga, Va, and NV, and two of those states have made positive steps to clean up their elections, so basically the RNC needs to work on cleaning up Nv, they do that, and Trump may be back behind The Resolute Desk, otherwise, he's gone, and MAGA with him.

Easy enough to test it via how friends or families recall the same common event.

Witness performance goes down even more when people can listen to others talking about the event. People often adopt other people's tale of the event as their own; especially if they are uncertain themselves about it.

Witness sequestration is what the courts have come up with to try to resolve that issue.

The problems attorneys face with witnesses is that it is hard to tell who is recounting the actual events with who is fictionalizing it via poor recall or incomplete information (or maliciousness). Poor witnesses often 'fill in the blanks' of missed recall of facts with the everyone knows sort of thing.

The trick is to beat them at their own game.
Post election, announce that you will have a presidential commission (similar to the one that Reagan had during Iran Contra) that will investigate law enforcement breaches. Announce plans to investigate Congress critters for unwarranted contact and financial arrangements with foreign governments. Do the same with the think tanks like Brookings as to unforward influence and so on.

Announce your investigations first which puts all the co conspirators on the spot--if they coordinate after the announcement--then conspiracy and obstruction of justice (possibly perjury) become viable charges.

In other words, announce the investigations first on the IC, Congress, and law enforcement before they can collaborate and do it to you.

You need someone like Ken Paxton or perhaps Whittaker as AG that has already been burned by the Deep State

Yes they are, the KY Governor's race demonstrated this quite well.

The max GOP vote in KY is 1.3M that Trump received in 2020, Cameron got less than 630k votes in the 2022 Governors races.

Or said another way, 53pct of Republicans chose to sit on their asses rather than vote out a vicious scumbag Donk, who their GOP dominated legislature periodically have to smack down when he does stupid Donk sh*t.

It literally makes no sense but that's the conservative voter for you.

300 The wonderful thing about JJ's headlines and summaries is that you don't actually need to read the articles.

Very few articles say anything beyond the headline and subheadline. It's strange.

It's astonishing to read 16 paragraphs and realize you read nothing, yet that is the standard for political articles, and probably most other kinds of articles. The ones on this good site definitely notwithstanding.

I read one today - won't call it out - that explained how unfair Democrats are being to Trump and how they're breaking all the "rules". Did you know that? Did you realize that? Are you glad you read it for the 15 bilionth time?

Next time you read one, think about what you learned from it, or read that you had never read before. The answer will SHOCK you.

Hell, it is observable in real life. Everyone knows someone who cannot recount events of the day in any coherent fashion and is prone to adding in bits that never happened. Then, even people with good recall can have bad days.

There is a reason that police and prosecutors want some corroboration via other evidence before relying solely on 'eyewitness' testimony.

Actually, I think people want their government back from those that bought and corrupted it.

Everyone, even most Dem average voters believe it. Being a lame duck in this case for Trump means he can gore GOP and Dem sacred oxen with abandon.

People, by and large, have a natural sense of justice and the Deep State, by prosecuting Trump to the ends of the earth, gives him the moral power to turn the tables on the slimy sobs in office that do this shit on a daily basis.

It is easy enough to do both a positive agenda on popular items but one that freezes the DC establishment at the same time by seeking justice.

August 22nd is the Feast of the Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

While on the Underground I spied a sign that informed me 'Stareing' is a crime and if ratted out by any of the other riders (which the sign asked for), or captured on CCTV, I would be prosecuted and jailed.

A few days ago a child was killed in a drive by shooting. When the police went to the house she was shot in they found 15 children living in the house with no found adults. The news did not say the children were being trafficked, but it sounded like it. Kamala and Joe have ruined the lives of many children. I wonder if they are getting kickbacks from the cartels.?this was in Detroit.

390 August 22nd is the Feast of the Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This title of Our Lady, Queen of Heaven (Regina Caeli), is rooted in biblical history where the mother of Israel's king had the royal title of Queen Mother.

Normalcy is a myth and offense is often the better defense (especially when Trump has the corrupt and decadent Gay Ole Party ready to backstab him at any moment).

I would frankly be happy if Trump destroyed the both parties and their putrid officeholders in his term of office. It would be cleansing the Augean stables level but perhaps the only thing that will soften the blow when the financial crunch comes.

Even more infuriating is that Biden will not be held accountable by Congress for his malfeasance.

It's hard to find a clearer-cut case for impeachment than selling access to the White House to foreigners, including the Chinese Communist Party, for tens of millions of dollars.

I'll respectfully disgree. There have been a number of events or periods of time were the continuation of our country was questionable. For the most part, those battles were primarily between Americans. The battlefield is different now. Many of the actors and the infrastructure that oppose us are beyond our shores. It's not just the American left that fears a second Trump administrative.

Never assume what 'people' like or do not like. Ideologues (in the political science sense--not the insult) are predictable. The 80 percent or so that are not ideologues generally have outcome preferences but no fixed policy preferences. For the most part, the public has wanted the border shut down (dems, indys and gop), hate their government being up for sale, and so on.

A leader, that wants to change the whole playing field has to take offense at the get go and stay on it throughout the term of office. To do that, he has to freeze the DC Uniparty establishment via investigations and lawfare.

Fenelon, both parties routinely have fake campaign events with plants, etc. The Dems go overboard with it because they have to hide their actual policy positions lest voters are repulsed. GOPe types fake it via going to or arranging copacetic favorable venues where no irritating questions are asked.

Very few pols are skilled enough to do what Trump does. Billy Jeff, despite being a psychopath, could do it. Reagan could as well. Knew some others at different levels who were comfortable in their own skin and principles as well. Most pols are not.

Exactly!! She SHOULD be promoting that hustle, encouraging others to ignore the naysayers and make your success like she did.
She could be an amazing motivational speaker, mentor, inspiration for younger generations.

Instead, she pedals victimhood and racial greivance.

I was chatting with my neighbor yesterday. They're redoing their bathrooms. She said they'd had 3 toilets delivered from Lowe's, and each one was shattered in the box. She was waiting for the 4th. I think they could save some money by improving their shipping.

Churches are buildings and organizations. The body of Chrit is made of individuals. Each person is a unique creation and has a unique, personal relationship with our Lord. My sainted mother gently sliced and diced an argument along those same lines. Are there Bibles present in those churches? Yes. Then the Word of God is present. If the Word of God is present, is the Holy Spirt there? Yes. Enough said. My mom's version of a mic drop. I never was quite smart enough to not argue with het.

Very common problem with the toilets. You can tell by reading the product reviews at either website.

The fault is with the manufacturers sending them out like that and most of the parts either come from Mexico or China.

Same issue with porcelain or cast sinks.

Trump had to get out from behind the bulletproof glass enclosure the SS is now using at outdoor event, to go to the woman. Members of his SS detail probably shat bricks when he did so.

Read a DM article this morning about new SS protection means at the Trump/Vance outdoor rally yesterday, Shipping containers stacked behind the stage and a 3-sided enclosure of 3-inch thick ballistic protection glass around the lectern.

554 Maui Police Chief John Pelletier repeatedly urges “patience, prayers and perseverance” as teams painstakingly search the ashes in the seaside community of Lahaina for the remains of scores of victims from the deadliest U.S. wildfire in more than 100 years.

It’s the kind of message he has used before, in the aftermath of another American tragedy: the 2017 Las Vegas mass shooting that left 58 dead and hundreds injured.

Pelletier was a Las Vegas police captain when a gunman with military-style rifles opened fire from the windows of a Las Vegas Strip high-rise hotel into a crowd of 22,000 attending an outdoor country music festival. The violence shook the city to its core, like the wildfire has done in Maui.
