The Morning Report

The Morning Report — 8/29/24

Good morning kids. Apologies if I sound like a broken record, but Malig-Nancy Pelosi herself just exonerated (in a just and sane world, not the corrupt debasement that is now our courts) Donald Trump by admitting that he indeed pressed her to deploy the National Guard on 1/6/21 and she flatly refused him. And because of what happened that day, he has stood wrongfully accused of fomenting an insurrection and of attempting to subvert Congress on that day in certifying the 2020 election. Despite what the Left insists, Trump's words, actions and location on that horrible day prove his innocence. Funny how if he wanted to do that he would beg Pelosi to call out the troops to prevent him from succeeding. And it was her Capitol PD that opened the doors for the protesters and escorted them in and out. Somehow unarmed Ashli Babbitt and Roseanne Boyland wound up dead at the hands of Pelosi's goons. And now this Jack Smith hack is still trying to press the same baseless charges on Trump just as 2024 is heating up.

Which Alan Dershowitz has roundly mocked, but again, given the corrupted judicial system, who needs evidence when the spirit of Lavrenty Beria rules the day.

And I've seen reported that Merrick Garland intends on going after anyone who might protest the results of 2024. So, if Trump wins, does that mean he'll go after Democrats with the same zeal he went after Trump? Is there a statute of limitations on Al Gore, John Kerry or Hilary Clinton for protesting the results of 2000, 2004, 2016? Basta cosi.

Meanwhile, here's something to be completely ignored by Garland and cohorts. Domestic terrorism against the enemies of the Junta:

The pro-death hamassholes protesting the Democratic National Convention weren’t just going to head home without leaving behind a present for everyone else to clean up.
Volunteers at a Catholic pregnancy center in Chicago arrived to work the morning after the DNC wrapped, only to find their doors were cemented shut by vandals, Catholic News Agency reports.
“FAKE CLINIC" and "“THE DEAD BABIES ARE IN GAZA" were scrawled in giant red letters across the front windows of the nonprofit Aid for Women.
The group also found dripping gobs of red paint splattered over the rest of the building’s entrance. Security footage reportedly caught the vandals committing the crime at 3 a.m. on August 23.
Aid for Women advisor Mary FioRito shared evidence of the damage to her X account, showing the center’s door’s lock covered in cement, which also covered the ground where it opens.

The only dead babies anywhere near Gaza were Jewish, roasted alive in front of their parents, or dead from abuse after being kidnapped and tortured in the terror tunnels. But I digress.

I'd say the next piece is where we are headed, but given what happened to Trump and anyone who came to DC on 1/6 to exercise their right to free speech and wound up in the Garland Archipelago with their lives ruined, we're already there.

They’re coming for you next: While making a public comment criticizing the town’s attorney at the local city council meeting for Surprise in Arizona, Rebekah Massie was ordered to either shut up or be arrested by the town’s mayor, Skip Hall, because the council does not allow citizens to make such criticisms during the public comment period.
When she had the audacity to note quite correctly that she was entirely within her first amendment rights to say whatever she wanted, Hall then had her arrested.
I have embedded the video of this event below. It is egregious beyond words.
Mayor Skip Hall of Surprise, AZ has a constituent arrested during a city council meeting for openly complaining about how much specific city employees are being paid . . .
. . . As Massie states, her right to speak and say whatever she wants has been repeatedly confirmed by Supreme Court rulings. When Hall reads to the council’s rules against any such criticism during public comments, she responds, “That’s all fine and good, but that’s a violation of my first amendment rights.” When he claims she agreed to these rules she repeats, “It is unconstitutional.” His response illustrates his complete ignorance of and contempt for the law and our basic rights under the Bill of Rights, “It’s not unconstitutional.”
When still Massie refuses to be silenced Hall orders her to be removed. When she refuses to leave she is then violently arrested. Hall claimed she was resisting, but Massie later explained, she was “not resisting, my daughter is here, I don’t know what’s going on, you say I’m being detained, but I don’t know what for.”
Massie has an extremely strong case for suing Hall and the entire city council of Surprise for a lot of money. Her arrest was unnecessary for her to win and was probably a mistake on her part, but it makes no difference. The city council’s rule forbidding any criticism of any city employee is absurdly unconstitutional, and to use it to silence Massie makes Hall and that city council very liable for damages.

I reference my previous comments about our judicial system. In any case, the problem isn't so much the thug who ordered her arrested but the cops who only followed orders and slapped the cuffs on her. Befehel ist befehel! after all, nein?

America 2024, what a country. Have a good day.

ABOVE THE FOLD, BREAKING, NOTEWORTHY

within her first amendment rights to say whatever she wanted, Hall then

Coziness between spies and journalists has grown exponentially worse as society has progressed further into the digital era. Media outlets have closed foreign news bureaus and sent veteran foreign correspondents into retirement. In their place have settled swarms of young, eager J-school grads, some responsible for writing as many as a half dozen articles a day, with no requirement for multiple sources and no fact checking, posted to news websites where the ability to stealth-edit an error has replaced pro-active high-quality and knowledgeable editors.

ISRAEL vs IRAN & GAZA/HAMAS/Hezbollah . . . AND BIDEN

Attacking "Palestinian" terrorists in Jenin is not going to widen the war. And it sends a very strong signal to Iran to stop meddling in the fight against Hamas. Biden hasn't given up trying to rein in Netanyahu, but he's realizing that the Israeli prime minister has an agenda that won't be fulfilled until the threat to Israel is extinguished.

Biden promised, during his March State of the Union address, to open a pier to deliver humanitarian aid to the two million-plus people in the war-torn Gaza Strip. At the time, "multiple USAID staff expressed concerns" that rough waves posed major challenges for the project, according to an inspector general report published Tuesday. Biden’s focus on the pier also undermined the agency’s advocacy for opening more on-land pathways for aid—which the report deemed "more efficient and proven."

“It’s interesting, it’s kind of aggressively being defensive. It’s paring back the indictment to try to anticipate how the judge would rule on this official acts quandary that he finds himself in after the Supreme Court case on immunity, that basically says personal acts are prosecutable, but official acts are not,” Trusty said. “So he’s anticipating that, but it’s really interesting because the opinion says, not just that immunized information is not properly before the court at trial, but that it contaminates the grand jury process. If you include that information in pursuing an indictment, that’s a huge land mine.”

But I'm here to tell you today that those reports about the seven charging stations are all lies, or at least completely superseded by events. According to the latest figures I can find, the total is now up to eight. So that's eight down and just 499,992 to go. At the current rate of construction, Biden-Harris will achieve their goal no later than the year 144,881 AD. But that's all old news. Let's get to today's news. Two rounds of EV station funding worth about a billion dollars went out in 2022 and 2023 to virtually no avail. If you'd say that after a billion and just eight charging stations we could probably use more charging stations and maybe spend less money, I'd like to congratulate you for achieving VodkaPundit levels of snark.

Substitute white people for the word "state" and you get the black victimhood blood libel. And, why quite a few black males are taking a good look at Trump because they see what the Po-Po are doing to him is sort of what they perceive as being done to them.

That said, you are not wrong. still, it is mightily disheartening that over time how even those who put on a badge can become corrupted.

31 Re: Halperin Turnout. Turnout. Turnout.

Trump in a landslide, barring a Huge Cheat.

Professional pollsters aren't good at seeing shifts in turnout and so missed what happened in 2016. If you voted the last time, they'll assume that you'll vote this time. If you didn't vote the last time but say you will this time, they discount.

Most of America is getting killed by inflation and many will turnout even if they didn't before. Many Black men, Hispanics, and Wine Moms who voted last time will stay home this time. There are also other factors at play, and they break for Trump.

It's not even necessarily that they are corrupted, it's literally their job to act as enforcers of state power.

So when a lunatic council leader says arrest this troublesome constituent, they are not going to even question that order one scintilla, they are going to arrest that person with aggression and zeal.

yes and the locals' patience is wearing thin- they are demanding action. Police seem reluctant to bring the hammer down. Which they better do, soon, or they will get more of the same.

That's best-case scenario.

If the illegals begin threatening kids then there will be vigilantes to perform the job that Western Civilization came together and agreed to allow an organization to perform as a proxy.

And the problem for society? They won't be wrong in their actions. It has to happen or soon the (more?) local children will begin disappearing.

Same as always, all that had to happen was that the law be enforced. But it's difficult and time consuming and requires a lot more paperwork than pulling over middle class people going 4 over the speed limit on their way to church on a Sunday morning.

F-16.net has a photo of an MLU F-16AM in Ukrainian markings. The F-16 proudly flies on the tail that symbol of Ukraine in blue and gold that was also used by the Ukrainian Waffen SS division in World War II.

And in more news; of the ten F-16s Ukraine presently has, several were used recently to help shoot down a missile and drone swarm.

All the polling showing Harris in the lead is not revealing the weight they are giving to (D) voters. So they're hiding the reality.

Rasmussen gives the ratio of 35% D, 32% R and has Trump up by a couple which would put him at 320 Electoral votes and perhaps even popular vote win.

48 Parenthood Warnings are not new. Because of the longevity of school board-purchased training films, you can define a generation by what traffic death and VD videos Coach ran in the Everyday Problems class. There was a sort of comic relief in depicting the tribulations of a young couple who had to get married. He'd take a job in a steel mill that required him to get up early, and when they had their old school friends over for a card party, the baby cried and interrupted everything. That was about it.

It was laugh-out-loud out of touch in the 60's, and may still be around, but in a cleaner and purer time we massage ourselves into thinking were good old days, concerned adults were busily talking yoot into avoiding families because it spoils the carefree life. Naturally, the crisis of the hour was "teenage pregnancy," and teachers didn't want their high schools to look like sin-bin passion pits (it hurt the tax levies), but the population chasm started right there.

There is no configuration of states that are in play that would give him 320 Electoral Votes and he's not going to win the popular vote.

If he wins it's going to be by the skin of his teeth, like 270 EC votes, if he outcheats the cheat, I can see him getting upwards of 325 EC votes, and if he can take Minnesota, perhaps 335.

104 Just a reminder, in 2020 Trump never led in the RCP average of polls. Not once, and his deficit was pretty large at points. He ended up "losing" by about 40,000 votes. We'll likely never know what the real numbers were but even with Biden winning virtually every swing state poll the entire election it took some serious ballot stuffing to get him over the top.

Trump has always outperformed his polling for pretty obvious reasons. He's basically tied in the media polls with Harris now in those polls and Harris just came off her convention and month of media gaslighting on her behalf.

---------
IIRC Pelosi's daughter was 'contracted' to make a 'documentary' about J6. Pelosi (among others) staged it. I think she was hoping Trump would be at the Capitol that day and she wanted to have video records of her historic fight with him to save democracy. To this day the lie that Trump somehow was involved in the chaos at the Capitol, that he was there personally or urged his supporters to go riot there is repeated by the media.

So, I do believe Pelosi's daughter was there specifically to record what was thought to be a historic day for the Democrats... with Nancy leading the charge.

The completed documentary has never seen the light of day. Why snippets appeared now (and earlier) is anyone's guess.

Some of us are joining in praying Psalm 35 vs. 1-8 and changing the words from "my" to "his" in respect to President Trump. It is a plea against unjust enemies. Thanks to Emmie for bringing up this psalm and for those that are praying it everyday. Please join us.

134 Someone in the Israeli government let that Oct. 7 attack happen. That was a combined arms operation that took up to 12 months to fund, plan, prep, and train for. There's no way Israeli soldiers and spooks didn't see the attack coming ... and there's no way they didn't warn higher ups about what they saw.

Don't discount our getting hit here at home on Oct. 7. And if the barbarians do attack, someone inside the city slipped them the keys to the gate.

I'm not quite sure that a demon gets the divine right to invent new sins and then demand that God treats them as such.

In which group do you think people will be arrested?

Because a Trump win will not fix that scenario. Not at first and perhaps not ever. So, a win doesn't necessarily mean a return to normalcy. That will have to be fought for. The rot extends from from the capitol city too.

That sounds lovely, but it is absolutely incorrect.

He is a master at sounding tough and behaving in a self-serving and sometimes damaging way.

Much like RFK his views don't align with mine on many things but this is not an ordinary election. We are literally fighting to save this country from a communist takeover and I will take every vote I can get and deal with our differences later.

I mentioned in comment #22:

Possible gang members with the illustrious Tren de Aragua group based in Venezuela

Tren de Aragua (English: Aragua Train) is the largest criminal organization in Venezuela, with over 5,000 members.[2] Tren de Aragua is led by Héctor Rusthenford Guerrero Flores, alias "Niño Guerrero"; he was incarcerated in Tocorón prison [es], which functioned as the organization's de facto headquarters. The gang has since expanded throughout Latin America and the United States amidst the Venezuelan refugee crisis,[3] with the growth of the gang following the migration of Venezuelans to host nations.[2] Due to the severity of its crimes, combatting the gang has become a priority to many nations where Tren de Aragua has entered.[2]

Nothing to see here comrade, move along.

322 Is Dana bash a Kamala/democrat hater? I'd like to hear some of your opinions. If she is, I won't bother watching.

CNN sure is. I expect her to spend the entire interview on attack and demanding standards that trump has not been held to in 9 years on the political stage.

Keith Olbermann has nothing good to say about her journalistic skills. She's zombie-like. I agree. I think that blank look is her listening to the producer in her earpiece. They don't want her thinking, either.

i look at Andrea Mitchell as an obvious dem basher. So that would be an example of why I wouldn't watch this interview.

Bash is largely reviled on the right too. She's not pleasing too many people on either side. That's not necessarily a bad thing for a journalist.

CNN and Bash could really harm her momentum if they hound her and confuse her with stupid gotcha questions. She says what her wealth class owners tell her what to say and more importantly telling her what not to say.

334 my little boy always cheered me up.

Yes, what we have is a literary, not a psychic, phenomenon.
All the great American novels were exposes of awful things going on inside proper-looking family facades. For a hundred years, every story of familial relationships in film or TV was laced with back-stabbing and betrayal. Online, guys go on all night about being ruined by their family, cheated and cheated on by wives and children. Other than "camp," there are few depictions of people individually benefiting and flourishing because they have children. It's bitch, bitch, bitch -- except for just once in a while, when somebody busts out a line like that.

My complaint about my kids is that I don't get to see them often enough. They're spectacularly successful, and there's very little chance they'll move back onto the family compound.

My wife found some recently under a coffee table or sofa, I forget which. Three decades after our son moved out.

Never, ever tell that story to anyone while your wife can hear you.

It wouldn't bother her. I have a 3 X 5 card of every room in this house including bathrooms so I can keep track of what room needs what. There are almost 20 of them.

You know what else is stressful? Life.
Life is stressful. Engaging with the outside world, trying new things, working hard and taking risks.

They have been treating pregnancy like an illness to be purged for year with their abortion = reproductive health. Now they are labeling parenting as if it were just another hazardous item, needing a warning like smoking and alcohol. No, serfs, you're much better off if you sit in your micro-apartment, living off of UBC, consuming Disney content and eating bugs. Don't think, don't act, and for God's sake, do not reproduce!!!!

These people are evil.

361 I'm sure it's been linked here, but you absolutely have to read the link on efforts to stop vote fraud (also linked by Hoyt at 2am at Insty).

The vote fraud efforts are larger, more complex and more extensive than you even imagine.

We have a "democracy" about as legitimate as voting under Saddam Hussain and Kim Jong Un.

When some of you say, "maybe the Democrats will let Trump win (to blame for the economic collapse, etc.)"
1) Hundreds, maybe thousands of people are facing decade-long felony convictions if he wins
2) These are people who would rather rule in hell than serve in heaven--they don't give a single F about the economy or the people who will suffer.
3) and if they win this year, they'll never have to face an election again.

382 Huh. They're changing the meaning of "invasive species." It used to be for stuff like kudzu and carp and what-not that was introduced to areas. Now it's for animals you don't like but that are thriving in their natural habitat.

"Although controversial, killing invasive species to save native species has been done in the past such as when the National Marine Fisheries Service reduced the criteria to kill sea lions preying on salmon swimming along the West Coast in 2019."

Even if we all got together and gathered $100 million and a core of people willing to do what it takes to win, worked in absolute secrecy, we'd get caught.

Not because our cheat wasn't perfect.

But because we duplicated their cheat--they would know we cheated because those were "their" votes.

There's a putting green grass called velvet bentgrass. It has a phenomenal blade count per square foot. Walking barefoot on it is the most pleasant experience your feet could ever have. Would it surprise you to know that Trump used it at at least some of his golf courses?

Banned. Whatever freaking jerkoff agency in charge termed it invasive and banned the sale of it. I wanted to overseed some areas and went to repurchase it and it was gone.

Invasive? Yeah at maybe an inch a year. I sometimes wonder if they banned it just to piss off Trump.

August 28, 2024, Let Them Live Podcast (YouTube): Convicted Pro-Life Activist Shares Her Thoughts About the FACE Act
"In this special episode Emily is joined by Bevelyn Beatty, a pro-life activist, who was convicted of violating the FACE Act (Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act). Bevelyn shares the story of how she became a pro-life activist, and the prosecution she faces for her efforts to stand up against a "Reproductive Health Clinic" in lower Manhattan, New York." (Not linked here, so you're own you own if you would like to watch, listen.)

Not just about Christianity, her religion and strength, but also her conviction and sentencing "within the system;" thoughts about how we've gotten there; the need to care about one another & to try to seek a common point (or points) of agreement, and also to VOTE.

390 Wikipedia, Criminal proceedings in the January 6 United States Capitol attack (Appears current thru Aug 23, 2024 in as far as sentencing).

>Investigations into alleged foreign involvement and payments -

(In part) As of January 2021, the FBI was also investigating whether foreign adversaries of the U.S. – governments, organizations or individuals – provided financial support to people who attacked the Capitol.[33]

Separately, a joint threat assessment issued by the FBI, Department of Homeland Security, and other agencies said that "Russian, Iranian, and Chinese influence actors have seized the opportunity to amplify narratives in furtherance of their policy interest amid the presidential transition" and that these governments, through state actors, state media, and their proxies, used the riots to promote violence and extremism in the United States, denigrate American democracy, and in some instance promote conspiratorial claims.[33]

So I'd think such thorough investigations would also apply to attacks on pregnancy centers, Free Palestine campus unrest, discrimination against Jews and other groups, etc. Yes?

395 Crime and injustice count on your willingness to submit out of fear, complacency, or politeness. I haven't seen the movie Gandhi since not long after it was in the theatres (a friend had it on 12" laser disk), but I went looking for a clip of passive resisters forcing the government to use their implied violence to bring shame to their cause. I think this clip works better to show the point: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQaYTYZc-3A
