The Morning Report — 12/11/24

Good morning kids. As the saying goes, in the end it won't matter who fired the first shot, but who fired the last. And make no mistake we have been under a barrage of artillery, of both the rhetorical and literal variety going on 200-plus years. The toxic mix of an unslakable will to power, along with more than a mere soupçon of self-hatred, greed, envy and just the orgasmic glee in watching glass shatter, things go up in flames and people bleed is what we are dealing with in the Left and its locus of political power the Democrat Party.

The inversion of reality that makes Daniel Penny a villain and this Mangione some sort of a hero just underscores and scratches the surface of the twisted, perverted mentality we are up against. Let me state for the record that what Daniel Penny was forced to do given the circumstances he found himself in is regrettable in the extreme. The blame for that falls squarely at the feet of the moral and societal decay that created Neely and set him loose to roam at will. And there can be no excusing of a cold blooded assassination of a healthcare CEO regardless of whatever the shooter ranted and raved about in his manifestos. As I have stated or tried to explain over the past few days, the failings of the system that are inherent are only compounded by government interference, that were supersized post-2010. And, the decision of executives and employees or medical professionals to deny coverage regardless of legal or other consequences are perhaps a moral failing on their part which goes hand in hand of the moral and societal dissolution going on for decades now that has corrupted so much of said society. Still, you don't stalk an insurance executive and gun him down in cold blood thinking that will somehow solve problems, real or imagined.

Be it this nut or Ted Kaczynski or Audrey Hale or any one of a dozen or more over just the last few years, what drove them to do what they did is the result primarily of Leftist brainwashing, blame-shifting onto capitalists, saboteurs, racists, kulaks, right-wingers or whoever stands in the way of total Democrat/Leftist domination and the paradise on earth they have been promising since forever, if only they can liquidate Trump and the literal Hitlers that stand in the way.
Yeah, bitch and moan all you want about the lousy insurance companies, doctors and whoever. And I do not mean to diminish or dismiss any of you or your loved ones that have had horrid experiences with them during times of a health crisis. And I pray for you and yours.

Yet take note of who is cheering on or otherwise excusing the killing of Brian Thompson as understandable. Look who you're agreeing with:

On Tuesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The ReidOut,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) commented on the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson by stating that “violence is never the answer, this guy gets a trial, who’s allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth[care]. But you can only push people so far, and then, they start to take matters into their own hands.” And regulation is needed.

Did this miserable despicable whore not remember that she was installed in the Senate to help pass Obamacare? Which was supposed to cure the sick and lower costs for everyone, nein? Yet, prior to that and certainly since, healthcare and insurance are regulated out the wahzoo, like every other aspect of life and the economy by a massive unelected bureaucracy. And as we discussed on the latest podcast, remember that both insurance and healthcare are not guaranteed human rights and/or entitlements. They too are services that must be paid for, somehow. If they're a right, then feel free to waltz in on Dr. Oz in the middle of the night with whatever ails you and demand he treat you.

The salient point here is what the Dishonest Injun of the land crab salad tribe said, you can only push people so far, and then, they start to take matters into their own hands.” If that really was true, she and her fellow travelers would've been "transitioned" shall we say into worm food long ago, never to rise. But it is tacit approval of what the shooter did and she's not alone as we all well know by now.

And they believe with unshakeable faith that they are protecting our precious democracy from the forces of darkness and evil and so nothing is off the table.

I mean, here we have some apple-robbing flatfoot from LA spouting this:

LA Deputy District Attorney Suggests ‘Tyrant’ Trump Should Be Killed.

On top of that, a Swatting incident involving MTG resulting in a fatal car crash. Her fault, of course. /sarc

And, we have Nancy Mace assaulted on Capitol Hill by some pervert homosexual activist.

That I even have to mention the accursed name of Joy Reid is enough to induce vomitus. And yet you must let them choke on their own turds/words.

MSNBC host Joy Reid said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “The Reid Out” that conservatism itself has “justified violence,” adding that we were “Gotham” and the Joker was “in charge.”
Reid said, “Today, the 26-year-old suspect in the killing of United Healthcare CEO was back in a Pennsylvania courtroom for an extradition hearing to determine when he’ll be brought back to New York to face charges including second-degree murder. The case has brought out a clear division in the reaction among those on the right. You see, when popular conservative pundits like Ben Shapiro and anti-woman zealot Matt Walsh try to attack evil liberals for celebrating the murder of a CEO, they were met with backlash from some of their own supporters, who defended the violence. Because the truth is some on the right don’t necessarily abhor violence if it’s against someone they don’t like, like Black Lives Matter activists or pro-Palestinian protesters. that’s why we see them get behind Kyle Rittenhouse, who shot and killed two BLM protesters or George Zimmerman who killed Trayvon Martin and turn them into cause celebs.”[sic]

This, porcine, cancerous anal fistula cannot go to the Infernal reaches fast enough to suit me. The poison she spouts along with Warren and Titty Caca Ocasio are basically marching orders for Leftists that it's open season on anyone who opposes them. Or anyone at all who can be "transitioned" into a Horst Wessel of convenience.

The ‘Tolerant’ Left Sure Does Like Assassinations . . .The truth is that leftists are far more prone to want to murder their opponents because they’ve been infected by the Marxist-power-struggle virus, which leads them to think that the murder of a political opponent is always justifiable homicide.
In the case of health care, the left will never be satisfied until the government controls the entire system, soup to nuts, with Sen. Bernie Sanders making decisions about which patients live or die. If that means sacrificing a few health insurance CEOs on the road to this socialist Nirvana, so be it. . .
. . . In the midst of this sickness, there were some voices expressing common sense.
One of them was Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, senior associate dean at the Yale School of Management. He wrote that:
I have studied CEO and business leadership for 40 years, and such dancing on the grave of a murdered business executive is one of the most abhorrent things I have ever seen. This vitriol and violence against business and business leaders is plainly un-American.‌
Indeed it is. And who hates America? Oh, right, those on the left.

Note to Fauxcahontas Warren, We The People can only be pushed so far. The distance is yet to be determined, and we have been shoved very far indeed, to the point of off a cliff, or into a mass grave. As I stated at the start, we shall see in the end who fires the last shot. Dear Lord, regrettable though it may be, let it be us. Amen.

I believe I called this not long after the 2020 election was stolen, and when all the statues of Columbus, Lincoln, Washington and even Mahatma Ghandi came down, it won't be long before brutal cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal is pardoned and then given the medal of freedom.

And here we are:

Democrats on Capitol Hill are begging President Joe Biden, set to leave office next month, to commute the death sentences of 40 federal inmates, including one of the Boston Marathon bombers, child killers, mass shooters, and those convicted for brutally murdering women. . .
. . . Pressley also accused the first administration of President-elect Donald Trump of going on an “execution spree” for carrying out the death sentences of those sitting on death row in federal prison. Similarly, Rep. Cori Bush (R-MO) called the death penalty “a barbaric, inhumane practice most often weaponized against the most vulnerable among us” because “the overwhelming majority of people on death row are black and brown.”
Among the death sentences that Pressley and Bush are asking Biden to commute are those of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, convicted of helping carry out the Boston Marathon bombing terrorist attack that killed three people; Daniel Troya, convicted of drug-related killings of a family including two children; Marvin Gabrion, convicted of kidnapping and murdering 19-year-old Rachel Timmerman; Robert Bowers, convicted of murdering 11 Jewish Americans in a Pennsylvania synagogue; and Brandon Basham, convicted of raping and murdering 44-year-old Alice Donovan, among others.

I did not see Abu Jamal mentioned by LoPecia Pressley and that other bloated slag, but his name has got to be in there.

Suggestion for President Elect Trump: Somehow engineer the repatriation of Assata Shakur, aka Joanne Chesimard back to the USA from Cuba, have her finally convicted and then publicly executed.

That and have Kash Patel make smashing BLM, Antifa and their backers a top priority.

If only the Democrat Party could've been dismantled post 1865. And God bless the sacred memory of Senator Joe McCarthy who tried to warn us.

Have a great day.

On Monday morning, Rodney Bailey, the city's assistant police chief, discovered an email that stated that a bomb had been placed in the congresswoman's mailbox. An officer was sent to MTG's home, and, according to a statement released by the Rome Police Department, Bailey "informed the commander of the Rome/Floyd Bomb Squad of the situation. The squad mobilized and dispatched operators to respond, non-emergency, to the Bomb Squad Headquarters." Rome Police Sergeant and bomb squad member David Metroka was driving his personal truck en route to the squad's headquarters. Sadly, 66-year-old Tammie Pickelsimer pulled out in front of him from a parking lot, and the two vehicles collided. Pickelsimer was taken to a local hospital, but unfortunately, she succumbed to her injuries. Metroka was also taken to the hospital with minor injuries and has since been released.

For instance, Scientific American editor Laura Helmuth had to resign over a series of posts lambasting Trump voters as “f***ing fascists” and calling Vice President-elect J.D. Vance a “bigoted, misogynistic, white supremacist.”

55 On Tuesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The ReidOut,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) commented on the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson by stating that “violence is never the answer, this guy gets a trial, who’s allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth[care]. But you can only push people so far, and then, they start to take matters into their own hands.” And regulation is needed.

It's hilarious that the left finally sees the consequences of their actions. They don't view it that way, of course, but it's still the case.

Vigilante justice was ALWAYS going to be the end result of their toppling of the republic. It had to be. That's a predictable outcome when some animals are more equal.

It's interesting to note that only one side is actively trying to return us to law and order and saving us from moving further down this road.

Leopold and Loeb should be poster boys for the anti-religious folks.

"Leopold was also interested in Friedrich Nietzsche's concept of "supermen" (Übermenschen), interpreting them as transcendent individuals possessing extraordinary and unusual capabilities, whose superior intellects allowed them to rise above the laws and rules that bound the unimportant, average populace. Leopold believed it was possible that he and Loeb could become such individuals, and as such, by his interpretation of Nietzsche's doctrines, they were not bound by any of society's normal ethics or rules. In a letter to Loeb, he wrote, 'A superman... is, on account of certain superior qualities inherent in him, exempted from the ordinary laws which govern men. He is not liable for anything he may do.'"

Several thousand social media users on X have been pledging to shun the dairy giant’s brands since Tuesday due to unsubstantiated claims the additive could be unsafe, with some also linking the product to wider conspiracy theories centring on Bill Gates, the World Economic Forum and climate change denial.

However, the supplier has insisted the additive is safe and described the social media storm as “misinformation” and “completely false”.

And the last 4 years were a lightspeed acceleration of their assault on everything good, normal and decent.
Every law, rule, regulation, norm, policy, procedure and practice was broken, stretched and abused to go after Americans.
Not just Trump--us.

We have suffered abuses, insults, attacks and oppression far greater than some rich lunatic, seeped in grievance-pandering for imaginary ills.

119 UnitedHealth is a transaction processing front end executing government policies and administrating government payments. Anyone shooting at a UnitedHealth employee is upset with government healthcare "insurance".

Sort of like when Tom Homan before Congress was criticized for simply enforcing the law as specified by Congress.

They make these laws and then get upset when some people hate these laws, and rather accept responsibility for the fallout from these laws, attack those who are paid to carry out the will of Congress.

Regulatory bodies, such as the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the UK Food Standards Agency have approved its use based on evidence that it does not harm the animals or negatively impact their health, productivity, or the quality of milk
etc.....

Supposedly not linked to Bill Gates or Pfizer.

But I wouldn't try it. It 'has the potential to reduce methane emissions from cows and is part of our efforts to reduce the carbon footprint of our products. ' The 'conspiracy theory' is that it affects fertility in humans. With everything else that is going on, I rate this as 'plausible'.

They seem to come from the ocean, appearing over the horizon in groups of three to five. If I had to guess, I would say they are being launched from a vessel sitting more than three miles away. But what the hell do I know.

Anyway, there is NO WAY the government doesn't know what's going on. I'm about five miles east/southeast of the southern parcel of Naval Weapons Station Earle which, when I was part of Emergency Management in my previous hometown, informed us they would neither confirm nor deny the presence of nuclear weapons.

I’m honored to accept President Trump’s nomination to serve as the next Ambassador to Greece and I look forward to earning the support of the U.S. Senate.

President Trump’s historic victory is bringing hope and optimism to the American people and to freedom-loving allies across the world.

It was the democratic values born in Greece that helped shape the founding of America.

And now, we have an opportunity to honor that history by bringing better days here at home and abroad.

As ambassador, I look forward to delivering on the Trump agenda, supporting our Greek allies, and ushering in a new era of peace and prosperity.

I'm hopeful there will be retribution there. Not reconciliation.

Her J6 committee is one topic that seems to agitate Trump to this day. When asked about it, or pressed about his comments he really does fight back. So... I'm cautiously optimistic he'll go after those that were on that committee and the ringleader of J6... Pelosi.

Leopold and Loeb thought they were smart enough to commit the perfect crime. In fact, they made enough mistakes for them to be brought in for questioning a few days later.

Mangione was educated at Penn, but he was stupid enough to leave enough of a trail for him to be caught with a gun, silencer and fake ID.

In short, you can be very, very smart and still not think through everything such that you won't be apprehended in the end. I made a joke about not learning how to commit a crime in the Ivy League in the previous thread, but the usual suspects reacted with characteristic biliousness.

The federal government had a strong hand in creating what used to be called "managed care" and taking away authority from physicians. They also created the bureaucracy that gave us "protocols" and "pathways" that are a boon to pharma and insurance companies. The insurance companies are pleased to limit care, but it was the HHS that allowed it to happen. Worse than the FDA.

But I did hear grumbling of this sort from Dems in 2017 - that Obama had nationalized the Party around his own character, that he'd choked out the State parties, there's no bench because of him, and so on.

Problem is, it'll be way harder to ice out his acolytes, since there's no single galvanizing figure like a Democrat Trump for that kind of movement to coalesce around - the potential ones are both working for Trump, currently.

I heard a former high-ranking NYPD officer explain this yesterday. He said that New York State Murder 1 can only be charged if there are very specific factors involved, and as of now those don't apply in this one. He said NYS Murder 2 is much the same as Murder 1 and 2 in other states. He noted that because NYS does not have the death penalty, the killer can get a maximum of life in prison if convicted of either Murder 1 or 2.

Or what we're seeing currently, which is a handsome guy getting support and love letters because he didn't kill as many people as the insurance agent. Or something.

It is actually a beautiful song when sung correctly, but my problem is the final verse, When the shepherd boy tells the mighty king, the king then tells the people everywhere that the child will bring goodness and light. True enough, but the reality is that the king was told about the birth, he told his soldiers to go ahead and snuff him out. If they couldn't figure out which particular child was the one referenced, take out all male children in town.

I've mentioned it before, but the Ambassadors of Harmony, a 100 voice male a capella choir, do the best version of that I've ever heard. One man starts, another man joins for the verse where there are two, etc., until it reaches the mighty king. The entire choir booms out the rest. It's fantastic.

Hard to find online but someone posted it in sort of an odd way. This youtube version seems compressed and crackly but still worth a listen:

The problem is the social sciences figured out you don't need to Manchurian candidate people anyway - with control of the media you can make people in aggregate believe and do insane things.

410 There is an ETF that is based on Nancy Pelosi's insider trading. It is legal specifically because the government won't prosecute her and the ETF just mirrors her actions.

I've been told there's also one which mirrors Republican in Congress.

412 Warren on UnitedHealth CEO Slaying: Violence Is Wrong, But ‘You Can Only Push People So Far’

.. is Warren volunteering to be the next target ?

Were I president I would respond by publishing a list of congresscretins that voted for Obamacare and point out this is the law of the land - anyone upset with the current state of the American healthcare payment system should take it up with these people.

I suspect Warren and the like would claim this is a threat against them but they seem to be the ones trying to get more assassins to go "fix" the problem. Well...they are the problem.

Leftist are innately mentally ill.

And I think these drug experiments are like hypnosis in that you can’t be made to do something you wouldn’t do when you weren’t hypnotized. You can get tricked but not directly made to do something.

415 "What Are You Doing New Year's Eve?" is generally heard around this time of year, which irritated its composer, Frank (Guys and Dolls) Loesser no end. He said that the point of the song was that of a hesitant lover wondering if this little romance would blossom and the two people would be together on New Year's Eve. It could be sung at any time.

No-one listened to him.

418 The cow flatulence drug reminded me of Gulliver’s Travels:

I was complaining of a small fit of the colic, upon which my conductor led me into a room where a great physician resided, who was famous for curing that disease, by contrary operations from the same instrument. He had a large pair of bellows, with a long slender muzzle of ivory: this he conveyed eight inches up the anus, and drawing in the wind, he affirmed he could make the guts as lank as a dried bladder. But when the disease was more stubborn and violent, he let in the muzzle while the bellows were full of wind, which he discharged into the body of the patient; then withdrew the instrument to replenish it, clapping his thumb strongly against the orifice of then fundament; and this being repeated three or four times, the adventitious wind would rush out, bringing the noxious along with it, (like water put into a pump), and the patient recovered. I saw him try both experiments upon a dog, but could not discern any effect from the former. After the latter the animal was ready to burst, and made so violent a discharge as was very offensive to me and my companion. The dog died on the spot…

424 Voters backed Donald Trump because top Democrats mismanaged the border during President Joe Biden’s presidency, says the top lobbyist at FWD.us, the leading investor-created lobby for more migration.

“The Democratic Party leadership has been absent on immigration reform since President Biden took office,” Andrea Flores, the Vice President of Immigration Policy & Campaigns at FWD.us, told the Define American Interview show. “You saw, really in this last year, in the absence of real leadership from Democratic leadership on the future of immigration reform, a huge shift to the right” by voters, she complained on December 6.

428 A Chinese national has been arrested on suspicion of flying a drone to take photographs over a US Space Force base. Federal police arrested Yinpiao Zhou on Monday after he was allegedly caught flying a drone over the Vandenberg Space Force Base, in California. In a criminal complaint, the US Attorney’s Office said Mr Zhou flew a drone over the base and took photographs on Nov 30 – the same day it launched a rocket on behalf of the National Reconnaissance Office.

431 Good morning, all, and thank you, J.J.

Sellside Group, Amelia Tyagi, Managing Director. An amazing bio that includes, but is not limited to, - "Ms. Tyagi also co-founded HealthAllies, a venture capital backed firm focused on bring lower cost healthcare to consumers, which was acquired by Unitedhealth Group."

Amelia Tyagi is Senator Elizabeth Warren's daughter. One more thing about Liz for now, that is her Ultra-Millionaire Tax which just happens to be above the upper threshold of her many, many millions. (Forbes, 'How Elizabeth Warren Built A $12 Million Fortune,' Michela Tindera, Former Staff, Aug. 20, 2019)

Prove to me Senator Liz, Joy Reid and at least some of the 'Squad' are not phonies making money in venture capital investments involved with healthcare, perhaps even UnitedHealthCare. Further, and this should be of great interest to some, the SEIU United HealthCare workers make one heck of a lot of donations to the Democratic Party.

Honolulu Civil Beat, Beyond Hawaii, Dec. 9, 2024
'Luigi Mangione’s Hawaiʻi Friends Shocked By Arrest In UnitedHealthcare CEO Shooting' Luigi Mangione lived at the Surfbreak co-living community near Ala Moana Park on Oʻahu. He was arrested Monday in Pennsylvania, five days after the shooting of an insurance executive. (Reading the entire article recommended.)

Also, R.J. Martin, Surfbreak’s founder, spoke to Fox News last evening and said he had brought up Ted Kaczynski to his friend, Luigi Mangione, in reference to a book club Mangione was involved at that time at Surfbreak.

Mangione Kaczynski reminds me a great deal of John Hinckley who was found insane in all 13 Federal charges and spent decades under psychiatric care. BTW, alleged Idaho student murder suspect from NE PA was also reported to be intelligent and spent considerable time stalking victims.

434 The Leftist politicians who installed Obamacare are getting just what they planned for. Obamacare enriched the health insurance companies, as intended. The quid pro quo that they got in return was that the health insurers were the outsourced 'death panels' that rationed medical care, instead of the government.

So unstable people start assassinating health insurers instead of the politicians who deliberately created this situation. At least to start, until they identify the real culprits.

“I think it’s funny that Politicians aren’t as scared as they should be.”

As soon as you mentioned a DA who wanted to hurt Trump, I knew it was Patterico.

I used to read his blog until he went completely round the bend over Trump. I worry about him actually.

436 Small note:

I seem to recall that Patrick Frey, "Patterico", had once been swatted himself a while (decade?) ago, back when I was reading him and Hogewash and The Other McCain (aka the good one).

Unsure how much of a brush with death his encounter was (they HAVE lead to deaths, and are intended to be), but seems he's forgotten the danger. And forgotten empathy.
