The Morning Report — 12/2/24

Bidenbars.jpg

Good morning kids. The revolting if not completely unsurprising news that broke late yesterday is that Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants, the demented venal daughter-raper pardoned his bastard-making bastard of a son and bag man Hunter of any and all crimes he may have committed between 2014 and 2024. This after repeatedly lying about ever intending to do such a thing in the media for years now. Shocking, right?! Pfft. It's perfectly clear why he did this to anyone who has more than two functioning neurons to rub together why the vegetable sham president did this:

2014 was the year that Hunter Biden joined the board of Ukraine’s Burisma, scoring a $1 million payday, and millions more for the Biden Crime Family. It was also the year that Yelena Baturina, the wife of former Moscow mayor Yury Luzhkov sent $3.5 million to a Hunter organization and attended an event with Joe Biden in D.C. It was also the year that a Kazakh oligarch who had just taken over the BTA Bank with whom both Joe was photographed sent six figures.

Were all of these foreign oligarchs sending big checks to a man who had just been discharged from the Naval Reserve over his cocaine use or to his dad who was the one actually in power?

Joe Biden did not pardon Hunter Biden: he pardoned himself.

Hunter, an inept crackhead who could barely write coherent emails, was not being showered with checks, wire transfers and even diamonds because of his legal and business acumen.

The only reason an addict was being sent so much money that he could use it to indulge his worst appetites was because of his father. The ‘Big Guy’ was always the mastermind.

Emphasis mine, as if this is not apparent, especially to any regular reader of this site in particular and/or who has the horse sense to ignore the transparent attempts going back years to ignore and cover up the criminal enterprise fronted by elective office that is the Biden family, second only to that of the Clintons, at least that we are aware of. Sadly, I can say with near 100% certitude that there will never be any calling to account of either of these clans.

Naturally, with very few exceptions, the reaction to this from Leftist quarters is to praise the move and continue the disgusting titanic Goebbelsian-level lie that Biden and his son are victims or will be victims of political persecution, as if the gun charges as well as the verified timeline of Hunter's involvement with Ukrainian energy company Buurisma and how an unqualified, drug-addict literal son of a bitch wound up on its board of directors. And that's just two items.

While this is going on, President-elect Trump has made perhaps his most electrifying administrative pick in that of Deep State nemesis Kash Patel to head the utterly corrupt FBI, which had degenerated into, or really revealed itself to be the personal political hit squad of the Democrat/Left and anti-American Deep State it always had been:

The FBI went rogue a very long time ago. J. Edgar Hoover was a law unto himself, and everyone in political life was a potential victim. His violations of civil rights were a national disgrace. Throughout his 48 years as director, he broke the law routinely. Like his insufferable successor, James Comey, he believed he answered to "a higher authority" -- his own conscience. These are delusions of grandeur. The FBI has degenerated into one of the greatest threats to American liberty. These people think they're above the law.

Beyond thinking they're above the law, they, along with virtually the entire bureaucracy in DC – every agency, every department, every office is staffed with self-inflating egomaniacs who think they are superior elites and therefore are on a mission from God to save the unwashed, unworthy masses of American prole untermenschen from themselves. And if they (that is WE) do not comply and reject them, we deserve to get it good and hard. For our own good, of course!

These warped, twisted tyrants at the FBI, DoJ, CIA and everywhere else who engineered the Russia collusion hoax and worse, the January 6th false flag operation intended to decapitate Trump and everyone allied to him and all of us who supported and voted for him are the real criminal/traitor insurrectionists. I applaud Trump's vow to pardon those who were targeted and some still rotting away in the Merrick Garland Archipelago. Beyond that, Trump needs to go after anyone and everyone who engineered those operations.

Beyond that, Just for starters, I'd like to see Kash Patel go after this fish-eyed racialist for Operation Fast & Furious:

Former Attorney General Eric Holder, who described himself as President Barack Obama’s “wingman” while in office, tried to defend President Joe Biden’s pardon of his son, Hunter, on Sunday night, saying he was unfairly singled out.

Considering the murder and mayhem being caused by the Biden-erased southern border, it provides a legitimate reason to go after Holder, who I believe has been and continues to be a Biden/Harris string-puller behind the scenes. A little sunlight can disinfect a very nasty rats nest of operatives who've been gnawing away at what remains of the Republic for many many years, and continue to do so. Beyond Holder, the Sunsteins and Powers must be defanged and called to account. That and the criminal enterprises of Soros, Schwalb and now Buffet and Gates.

And hear this good and loud trolls. It's not retribution. It's Justice. Long delayed and as such denied.

You know Kash Patel at the FBI is a good thing when it elicits a reaction like this:

Former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe said Saturday evening on CNN that President-elect Donald Trump’s nomination of Kash Patel as FBI director signals how the former president plans to “disrupt,” “dismantle” and “distract” the agency under his second administration.
Trump announced Patel as his FBI pick Saturday, writing in a statement that the former chief of staff to the secretary of defense “has spent his career exposing corruption, defending justice, and protecting the American people.” On “CNN Newsroom,” McCabe called the announcement a “terrible development” for those at the agency, stating that Patel has no qualifications for the job.

Andrew McCabe's pronouncement is a ringing endorsement, given the fact that McCabe is a traitor, and deserves to sit in whatever is left of the grease spot that is Julius Rosenberg, in Old Sparky and follow him to the infernal reaches.
Hope you all had a blessed Thanksgiving holiday.

I’m actually glad he pardoned Hunter. The pure venality of it will red-pill even more folks and Joe will leave the presidency disgraced, which is what he richly deserves. And we no longer have to foul the air around us by uttering the Biden name. Erased from existence (a la Back to the Future) seems about right….

-------
I think it's been reported he's going to "review" each case before deciding on a pardon or not. Whether that's true is debatable.

OTOH, a very savvy political move from *biden would be to pardon every J6'er so it can't be used as political fodder by Trump's administration. It removes J6 (to some degree) as a rallying point for MAGA.

But there's bitterness with both *biden and the left that just won't go down that road. Plus the likelihood the entire operation gets outed and some big-time players get pinched.

74 During COVID lockdown, Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister, Trump's nominee to head the DEA, arrested a pastor during services so he could be prosecuted by Andrew Warren, the Soros-funded prosecutor whom DeSantis later removed from office.

Sheriff Chronister also opened the county jail and freed 164 inmates to help slow the spread of COVID-19.

Outstanding pick, Trump.

It is a long long way to inauguration day, and this explosion of bribery and dirt is going to expand and expand, and leave shit stains so deep that the White House will need undergo a deep cleaning lasting a couple years.

Trump ought to say right now he cannot move in until the scrubbing's done, and will therefore operate out of Mir A Lago. Everything will need to be moved there. Cabinet meetings, the entire WH staff, the press room for sure, the presidential staff of doctors, nurses, the cooks, waiters, everybody.

96 Hunter was always going to be pardoned by Joe. The only question was when. He wasn't going to do it during the election for obvious reasons but he wasn't going to let his co-conspirator go to prison when Hunter might have started trading information for a reduction of his sentence.

But the damage this has done to Democrats is huge. They've lost all moral authority when it's comes to the J6 prisoners and they've made it a hell of a lot harder to argue the justice system doesn't need massive overhaul making it a lot harder to fight against Kash and Bondi.

And Joe's legacy is trash.His own party blames him for everything including the election debacle.

104 Now that Hunter is pardoned, the hangover hits. His drunken spending on legal fees, funded by "loans", means he either has to pay those back (hahahahaha!!!) or declare the money as income for tax purposes. Given his $10 million or so legal fees, he would presumably owe another $3-4 million to the IRS, to be paid as soon as he stops paying "interest" on the loans, if he ever has done so, which we all doubt.

His pardon doesn't cover future tax crimes. So, pay up Hunter!

112 In addition to the local pastor’s arrest, the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office released 164 inmates in March 2020 to help slow the spread of COVID-19 at the county jail.

“We want to protect our employees here. We want to protect the remainder of the jail population. We also feel these low-level, non-violent offenders will be better served at home with their families,” Chronister said at the time.

However, only a day after their release, one of the inmates, 26-year-old Joseph Edwards Williams, was arrested again on charges of second-degree murder in connection to a homicide along with charges of felony firearm possession, heroin possession and resisting arrest.

The reason why everyone Rittenhouse shot was a pedophile is because pedophiles, up to 2020, were considered to be bad people and short-lived if tossed into prison. If a Deep State asshole comes up to a pedophile and says "riot for us or we take this evidence to court and put you in general population" what do you think the pervert does? Gets on the bus and goes to the astroturf demonstration of Burning City.

147 So, does a 'blanket pardon' excuse one from crimes committed after the original pardon is bestowed?

So, if Hunter gets pinched with coke in, say, May 2025 is he free and clear?

Or he can throw a ton of lawyering at it and make it more expensive for the landlord to collect than he will recover.

I’m sure Trump picked him for a reason beyond his tyrannical nature but who knows, maybe Trump really is a secret COVID Nazi, and we’ve all been fooled by his act for a decade, and now that it’s safe he can finally appoint a bunch of little Hitlers to run Federal agencies.

Maybe we should have all voted for Kamala and then we wouldn’t have the problem of giving Trump shit for two picks out of thousands, because I assume you’re going to go after his Surgeon General nominee next for the same reasons.

Ya know, at some point you just have to take the wins, move past old grievances. Then you can come to a realization that not everything is going to be perfect, now or in the future, and that Trump might make a mistake or decision you disagree with, but he’s still 110% better than the alternative.

231 174 Musk has pledged to help primary/defeat any Republican Senator who votes against Trump's nominees.

He's got a lot of money.
Posted by: JackStraw at December 02, 2024 08:32 AM (LkLld)


People who don't give two shits about how much money Musk has:

Susan Collins
Lisa Murkowski
Mitch McConnell
John Curtis

Look, I know it makes me a doomer, but Collins and Murkowski will vote against almost every Trump appointment. Mitch McConnell is effectively a Democrat at this point - and head of the Rules Committee.

That means any single Republican Senator can tank a Trump appointee.

Oh, he can just do recess appointments? I heard that about Matt Gaetz.

They're generally pretty stupid and petty crooks that rely on old school arm twisting and bribery to get what they want.

They've likely screwed over a lot of high placed people. Starting in mid-January their protection from those people drops significantly.

And... if Trump was semi-interested in some 'rough justice' he'd make sure his PA Secret Service team was assigned to the *biden's after they leave the White House.

251 Good info on the new terrorists operating in Syria - one of those, kill them all and let Allah

Jenan Moussa
@jenanmoussa
2/ First, let me explain which units are participating in this offensive on the side of anti-Assad forces. Most belong to HTS. which split from Al-Qaeda in 2016. However, since 2018 HTS is designated a foreign terrorist group by the US State Department.

3/ HTS is active around Aleppo and Hama. The commander of HTS is Abu Muhammad al-Jolani. Earlier he headed Nusra Front (Al Qaeda in Syria). After HTS split from AlQaeda, he claims to have distanced himself from AQ. There is still a $10 million bounty on his head by the U.S.

4/ In addition to the HTS operation, there is another offensive going on simultaneously. This second battle is by the SNA (Syrian National Army - a Turkey funded Syrian rebel umbrella organization). The SNA operation is mainly targeting Kurdish forces north of Aleppo.

5/ HTS takes lead, but following brigades also participate in offensive against Assad forces:

-Faylak Al Sham (Sham Corps)
-Jaysh al-Izza (Army of Pride)
-Suqour al-Sham (Sham Falcons)
-Ahrar alSham (Sham Free Men)
-Turkistan Brigade
-Ansar alTawhid (Supporters of Monotheism)

However if he is found to be lying when asked about his involvement of uncle and dad, he could go to jail for that new crime. Can't lie to the FBI with Kash Patel asking questions, right?

313 There is another temporary appointment Trump can do: an emergency vacancy appointment to a critical position. Gaetz withdrew, the Senate didn't vote on him.

Yes and? Gaetz already withdrew. He withdrew because 4 Republican Senators said that no way no how they were going to vote for him. Not even a negotiating tactic for a new bridge or something. Just no.

And McConnell is there until he isn't. Hope isn't a strategy.

Lara Trump was a definite improvement. But yes I would like to hear why they were unable to do anything about the Senate steals. And this is where you need an active and through post mortem. Where they short of resources and applied them to the presidential election? Did they not expect the steal in these Senate seats? Were they prepared for a different type of steal? And so on...

322 More on Syria from the knowledgeable Jenan Moussa...

9/ If HTS and allies take over Syria they will enforce a strict interpretation of Sharia law. Although there are (cultural and historical) differences between HTS and the Taliban in Afghanistan, think of Syria under HTS turning into a "Taliban-light" state.

11/ Expect refugees. Syrian Christians, Kurds &other minorities will try to leave, mostly to Lebanon, Europe or US.

Sectarian hatred runs high in Syria. Especially the Alawite & Shia populations might be under risk of serious revenge attacks by HTS and other opposition groups.

It was always about helping people be more successful in life. Now it’s whoever wants to pay the most money, raise the most money, buy the most players is going to have the best opportunity to win. I don’t think that’s the spirit of college athletics. I don’t think it’s ever been the spirit of what we want college athletics to be. That’s my major concern: the combination of pay-for-play, free agency, and how that impacts development.

371 Unless there’s a coup from his own forces, Assad will probably continue in power in Damascus - the question is how much control will he have outside of it that is the question. Syria is going to move into being something like Libya, a failed state with different areas and cities controlled by different factions with different sponsors. Russia will likely be the biggest loser, Iran the next biggest. Also, this cuts most of Hezbollah’s supply lines, because any weapons coming through will just be seized by the militias for themselves.

All share a common destiny—the righteous and the wicked, the good and the bad, the clean and the unclean, those who offer sacrifices and those who do not.

As it is with the good,
so with the sinful;
as it is with those who take oaths,
so with those who are afraid to take them.”

Sadly, the judicial system is (still) NOT equipped to rule on (or bother with) ongoing voter fraud.

The record points to corrupt acts by Biden himself. Offer him a deal where he and his immediate family walk to retirement, with his pension, in the US Virgin Islands and stays mum about US politics and policies... He can write about anything prior to 2020... In exchange, he and his relatives get to testify against those who bribed them and those who violated public trust. That should flush some corruption out of the swamp.

Surely, we knew it would happen. The old man is heading out the door & the family was tamped down a bit from the House oversight investigations but now they're back in the game, with almost all of the pieces back in place.

Hunt's been in the game since 1996. MBNA - twice; the Commerce Department under Clinton; Board of Directors of W's AMTRAK; World Food Program USA - a 5(c)(3) D.C. based charity) - Board of Directors from 2011 to 2017 & served as its Chairman from 2011 to 2015; "investor," lobbyist...

It's everyday, most if not all of the political class, on the take. Did we think Joey was sitting in State Department filling out forms for 'family travel and gifts from foreign entities' on the taxpayers dime over many years? Heh.

Besides, there's always a roundabout way to 'get.' (Chelsea married 2010. Prior mom had her & intended on at least one foreign trip. So maybe a few gifts received then (there's always a 'gift' forthcoming w/foreign service travel) but then the opulent wedding and gifts sent privately.) Or when O had Bill on touring, as needed ...
