The Morning Report — 11/28/24

Good morning kids, and a very Happy Thanksgiving to you all! It's one thing to mindlessly shriek at Lake Michigan because someone you've been brainwashed into believing is literally Hitler won the closest thing to a landslide presidential election which perhaps is an utter rejection of the shriekers' warped worldview.

Sure we can laugh at these crackpots but remember, anyone of them could just as easily been yet another potential latter day Squeaky Fromme or John Hinkley along with the two or three that mercifully tried and failed to take Trump out prior to the election. While sadly, it is not a stretch to expect perhaps another attempt in the next four years. But since political violence, as a legitimate means to obtain, expand and maintain political power has always been the purview of the Democrat Left, nigh on 200+ years, the field of potential targets expands way beyond merely President-elect Trump.

Many of President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet picks had their lives threatened Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.
Fox News first reported almost a dozen of Trump’s cabinet picks and appointees were threatened.
“Last night and this morning, several of President Trump’s Cabinet nominees and Administration appointees were targeted in violent, unAmerican threats to their lives and those who live with them,” said incoming White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt in a press release from the Trump-Vance transition team
“These attacks ranged from bomb threats to ‘swatting.’ In response, law enforcement and other authorities acted quickly to ensure the safety of those who were targeted. President Trump and the entire Transition team are grateful for their swift action,” she added.
“President Trump and the Transition are focused on doing the work of uniting our nation by ensuring a safe and prosperous future. With President Trump as our example, dangerous acts of intimidation and violence will not deter us,” she concluded.

I suppose when old-fashioned smear tactics, lies and kangaroo courts won't work, (vis a vis Gaetz, Hegseth and Trump himself) the notion of having to dodge bullets or perhaps putting out the flames on the backs of your spouse and kids might dampen one's enthusiasm to be a part of the MAGA cabinet. Remember, it's not just about unhinged loons convinced that denying them the absolute human right!!! to kill unborn children, or surgically and/or chemically castrate them, or teach them that the greatest nation and society in human history is evil and illegitimate. It's about those in power who have pimped this insanity and every other Leftist scam/scheme to get to the top of the heap and have no intention of relinquishing any of it.

"Pour encourager les autres" as they say in French. Tom Homan, Trump's pick to head DHS and who will spearhead, please God an Operation Wetback to end all Operation Wetbacks had this to say:

‘If You Want Something, Come Get Some’: Tom Homan

Bravo. Bravissimo. Remember, that a number of blue shithole cities and states have stated openly their intention to commit insurrection by openly defying Federal law enforcement if not openly encouraging violent confrontation between local law enforcement and federal agents.

Remember that the Swamp is ugly, dark and deep, and extends way beyond DC to state capitals and city halls all over these virtually disunited states of America.

On the flip side of that, this item gave me a reaction not unlike an adolescent Sefton riding the bus to school with the loose-leaf pressed down in my lap.

Elon Musk: Alexander Vindman ‘Committed Treason,’ Will ‘Pay the Appropriate Penalty’

Now do John Brennan, and all the other spooks, ham 'n eggers and others who fabricated the cases against Trump and covered up for Biden. Add Pelosi and Capitol cop Michael Byrd along who both are culpable in he execution-style slaying of Ashli Babbitt, with all those who stomped Roseanne Boyland to death on 1/6/21.

Somehow, I can't imagine the Swamp being satisfied to just march over to Chesapeake Bay and just scream at the water.

Meanwhile in the middle east, it looks as if Bibi Netanyahu has been strong-armed into accepting some sort of ceasefire with Hezbollah up in Lebanon. Which of course sends all the wrong messages to all the wrong "people."

Hamas, the Iran-backed terrorist organization that started the ongoing war in the Middle East on October 7, 2023, and still holds 101 Israeli hostages, said Wednesday that it also wants a ceasefire, as a deal in Lebanon took effect. Israel and Hezbollah, the Iran-backed terror group in Lebanon that started firing at Israel on October 8 in solidarity with Hamas, reached a deal that took effect Wednesday morning. Once, Hezbollah vowed that it would not sign any ceasefire deal with Israel unless the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) left Gaza. But Hezbollah, suffering losses after the IDF stepped up the battle in September, decided to sign a separate deal, leaving Hamas to face the IDF without help.

Wow. Bibi can't go just two months until sanity in the form of Donald Trump is back in the White House. The malign influence of the Israeli Left in the Knesset notwithstanding.

And, something that I never learned in school, but only by listening to the late Rush Limbaugh of blessed memory. The True meaning and history of the Thanksgiving holiday. Socialism/Collectivism kills.

Well my dear friends, in wishing you all a happy Thanksgiving, I give thanks for your continued prayers for my health, as well as your continued support and comradeship.

The gloves are off, and the days of tolerating the FBI’s overreach are over. Trump reportedly plans to bypass the FBI’s compromised background checks altogether, issuing security clearances to his appointees on his own authority. This scorched-earth approach sends a clear message: the Biden DOJ’s partisan games are finished. With his team in place, Trump is ready to dismantle the Democratic Party's stronghold on the FBI, beginning the long-overdue process of restoring integrity to the nation’s top law enforcement agencies.

Because free markets happened. Capitalism happened.

Preparing to gorge, watch football and fellowship with family with a grateful heart

Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

Angry, bitter, leftists completely clueless why Trump won and why they are so hated by everyone else.

Just more proof that the only lesson they are taking from this loss is that they should further isolate themselves and be more angry, more shrill, more condescending, more demanding, more "everything that made them lose."

80 Pookette plays bells in the school band, and their teacher (who goes to our church and helps out with the band) has a rule: If you look back at the percussion section and not at the conductor, the percussionists get to pick one person to use their mallets on your head. Pookette's Future Boyfriend is not in band, otherwise I have the feeling he'd be a repeat offender.

84 An October report from House Republicans investigating the Jan. 6 Committee found Hutchinson was communicating directly with Jan. 6 Select Committee Vice-Chair Liz Cheney without Passantino’s knowledge while he was representing her. This report also notes how “the Subcommittee obtained messages between” television commentator Alyssa Farah Griffin and Hutchinson “where Hutchinson admits that Passantino was acting in her best interest and that she agreed with his counsel.”

So Liz and Hutchinson were cooking up backchannel lies to be told while in the formal committee. Good way for Liz to lose her law license.

Because you know darn sure, that if Trump's successful in getting things done, the GOPe will have members retire just before the election to throw the House back into the Ds hands.

116 Recall : 2016 or thereabouts, when an “adjunct professor” snuck up behind someone going to a speech by then-candidate Trump, and smacked him on the head with a padlock on a chain. Deadly assault.

Cops right there. Told to stand down, they didn’t see nothin’. Well, the Internet did. A bunch of Autists determined the identify of Bike Lock Guy. He was arrested, grudgingly and had the charges dismissed.

Where were the Press? They should have demanded the Democrats disavow violence. Publicly. All these Motherfuckers should have been locked arms on the Capitol steps singing God Bless America, and “that’s not who we are”.

Desert is weird. No water - or too much water - is a problem. The trails are pretty mushy when wet. 4WD is no prob, but it tears everything up. It may be better to drive on frozen ground if required.

139 There should be a policy of forcibly returning illegal aliens back over the border from which they crossed. Trebuchet if need be.

Problem is The Junta was handing out 'advance parole' to people who would never qualify for my visa if the norms were applied, even flying direct into the heartlnd. That makes it somewhat more morally complicated if we were to return them out the back of a C-130... At least the first couple loads*. After that people brought in under that program would be fighting to get over the Mexican border even if it isn't they way they came in.

*Or just run a psyops program where it is claimed that they are being dumped out of planes including deep fake footge from the shithole they were dropped in including damage to roofs etc.

149 “Fixing elections” is difficult because that is an issue for state law, and must be approached on a state by state basis. Georgia do a good job cleaning things up this last cycle; Scott Pressler in Pa did an excellent job; and previously DeSantis in Florida and Paxton in Texas have done good work. But it’s going to take an effort like this in each individual state.

Now what Trump can do is launch a series of investigations; but the FBI and DOJ will have to cleaned out and remade before that can happen.

A couple months ago I stumbled onto this epic rant about the almanac from some meteorologist (weatherman) at a bumfuck KY TV station. His post was under his personal Facebook page, IIRC. I mean he just savaged it. Had graphs and 'everything' to back up his claims the Farmer's Almanac is nothing but pure horseshit.

The replies to his rant were interesting. A near 50/50 split between those who agreed with him and those who didn't. I don't think he suffered any professional backlash either... which in this day and age is interesting. But his employer may have agreed with his assessment too.

We don't know what will happen because we're in uncharted territory. A president hasn't regained office in more than a century, so there's no way of knowing what the midterms will be like.

it is entirely possible that election reform and the Dems' bizarre insistance on protecting rapists and murderers from deportation will further build a preference cascade among minorities to the new GOP coalition.

Trump is also making noises about not giving traditional media the same access and continuing to focus on podcasts, so the old impeachment mania just won't work this time 'round.

176 By the way, the reason Trump and his people are telegraphing what they are doing is to fill the public space with popular policies. This isn't a military operation; the public needs to be prepped for what to expect in order to undercut media narratives.

Trump is also a master of misdirection, brushpack pitches and so on. Putting out broad statements often panics people, or forces them into saying really stupid things, even fleeing into exile. One of the fruits of this will be federal employees choosing to retire rather than stick around and try to undermine Trump.

No point worrying about it. Trump's not even in office yet.

But let's look at it another way: What if the left actually ran clean elections this time 'round. What would there be to investigate? Nothing.

But they didn't, they ran transparently dirt ones, and there's bipartisan concern about elections. This is the perfect time to look into it, and appoint special prosecutors to conduct actual audits. This couldn't happen before because public sentiment was not yet there. Now it is. The judiciary was also too deferential, but we've seen that change as well.

It is now a pressing issue with the public and Dem election officials no longer have an obedient Twitter to ban envidence of their crimes.

190 Good Morning in America again, JJ and fellow members of The Horde. Every minute since election night 2024, my heart has grown stronger and my spirit more reaffirmed with future Trump cabinet dream picks. Yes, we still had some massive Democrat and RINO vote shenanigans in places like Wisconsin and Arizona in two key US Senate races. And yes, we still have corruptocrat Mitch McConnell vowing to stymie the #47 agenda but despite these developments, I have more than hopefulness, like in 2016. I now have assurance. The Deep.State is still dangerous and evil. We need heed General Flynn's warning that they may still try another assassination attempt. The difference is that now, EVERYONE is watching.
Their day of reckoning is at hand, their reign of terror, at an end. God is with us and I also thank you and all your writers at AceOfSpadesHQ. Happy Thanksgiving!

Little Johnny is sitting on a park bench, eating ice cream sandwiches right out of the box, one after another. An old man tells him "sonny, you ought not do that. It'll stunt your growth. Rot your teeth."

Little Johnny says "Sir, its my pleasure to inform you my great grand dad lived to the ripe old age of 102".

The old man say "Well, I bet he didn't do it by eating ice cream sandwiches."

"Nope" Little Johnny replies. "He did it by minding his own damn business."

In a lot of ways, I consider Carter a preview of the Obama wing of the DNC. He really was a Globalist - as much as he could get away with it during the Cold War and the 70s. So much of his policy was aimed at reducing the stature and influence of the United States.

I was a single digit kid - and even I knew enough to understand that his idea of unilateral disarmament was absolutely insane. Yet he floated the notion.

224 In evaluating presidents, I think it important to base one's judgement on both the immediate consequences (their term) and the downstream consequences. Buchanan gets #1 because his term was disastrous in real time, arguably the worst possible result: actual dissolution of the Union on his watch.

Biden takes #2 for the same reason: they guy managed to completely dismantle the US economy and strategic position in 3 short years, inheriting a world at peace and leaving it at war. Trump had almost ompletely resolved the Palestinian problem and Biden instigated two wars there, fanned a third in Yemen, and kicked off a fourth in Ukraine.

That's tough to top.

Racial silliness had all but vanished in the US in the 90s outside of pockets of ignorance in big cities and very rural hideouts. Now we're having to actively attempt to codify into law that anti-white material isn't taught in school alongside p3do stuff.

Trump's win is pretty easy overall. It's encouraging, but I doubt it's a big social movement towards loving kindness. Black people, same as women, want to be able to buy food.

Ask either if they're willing to give up academic, hiring, etc advantages for themselves and their children and the vast majority will almost certainly say no. .

249 I was curious as to what Islam gets wrong about Christianity, but the link leads to a paywall.

I'm sure Islam gets a lot wrong about Christianity because it is a Christian heresy, and heresies are by definition wrong.

I still think it is remarkable that so much attention is paid to the "life of Mohammed" when there is zero contemporary evidence of him. This isn't a new observation, either, it goes back hundreds of years.

Next time someone trots out the old "Prove Christ existed," counter with "Prove Mohammed did."

262 Maybe if you’re talking about his first two terms…. But his third term has been disastrous. We all know the last 4 years has been his 3rd term… and it was worse because he didn’t have to worry about being popular. He could have Biden do all the unpopular things (like opening the border)

I think we will need some time to fully evaluate the extent of the damage. Lots of stuff is still not entirely known.

As for Obama's third term, it's still Biden who was in office.

I think Wilson is a solid choice for #3 because whatever one wants to say about Lincoln, the restored Republic still had the same checks and balances, state selection of senators, and the military/industrial complex vanished immediately afterwards.

Wilson created the administrative state, popular election of senators, 19th Amendment, income tax, and he utterly destroyed the European state system, guaranteeing another war.

So the Union should have dissolved?

So the republic should have been saved?

271 Its not a republic when you can't leave.

It is also not a republic if elections are non-binding. If state or region can just leave because they don't like the result, you don't have a nation, you have a patchwork of temporary alliances.

There was a legal path to secession which was completely ignored: an Article 5 convention of the states. This was completely ignored in favor of armed rebellion.

As for Lincoln's excesses, I suggest you read up on other civil wars. He fought with kid gloves and offered his enemies plush pillows by comparison.

I read multiple places that, as the Brits, French, and US were negotiating how to handle a Post WW I Germany - that the Brits and French were both relieved and amused that Wilson would agree to just about any sanctions ... as long as he got his damn League of Nations.

A lower case united states of America, which sounds fantastic.

I'll nerd to go back and read how the SCOTUS moved on the waters with their extra constitutional powers leading up to the war. Watching our modern and enlightened bunch tell Texas they had no options during the 2020 election was very eye opening to me

276 "The malign influence of the Israeli Left in the Knesset notwithstanding."

Not just the Knesset. The Deep State of Israel, its Leftist Establishment if you prefer, includes the security/intelligence apparatus, the high command of the military, the news media, academia, the cultural elite, and the judiciary. They run the country, plain and simple. The “government” led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has figurehead status only; it runs nothing of consequence.

The Israeli Deep State routinely conducts spurious investigations and other forms of lawfare over alleged wrongdoing by patriotic officials, and arrests them at will. They kneecap the army in its conduct of war. They also work hand-in-hand with woke American and European NGOs to demoralize the population.
