The Morning Report — 12/13/24

Good morning kids. Today is Friday the 13th, but for all you triskaidekaphobics out there. But let me reassure you that your fear of a 13-sided triscuit is completely irrational.

On the other hand, fear of Leftists, Democrats and others of that ilk is perfectly normal and indicates a rational view of the world around you.

On that note, let us commence. Think of any prominent Leftist/Democrat is either shot down in cold blood or otherwise dies of natural causes and the reaction that would ensue if you, I or ace or anyone in our sphere would write an article or headline that reflected even a scintilla of the orgasmic glee that ensued when this Mangione character gunned down UHC CEO Thompson and of course when Donald Trump was nearly assassinated on multiple occasions prior to his landslide victory in November. After years of labeling him as literally Hitler and us as evil, racist bigoted Nazis, and that the American, capitalist system is what is fueling the destruction of the planet.

Funny how when Jews and supporters of Israel were beaten in public for daring to confront anyone who tore down posters of the innocent Israeli hostages being held and tortured to death by the dark age Islamic savages of Hamas in Gaza, no one on the left said boo.

Now dig this:

Some people are just sick in the head. I don’t care what you think of the insurance industry. You don’t advocate or carry out the murder of a CEO — or anyone else, for that matter — just because he runs the company. But whether you’re on the left OR right, if you’re celebrating what the murderer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson did, just know that you’re a bad person. You can hate the insurance industry all you want. Lord knows it’s warranted, but to literally put up “Wanted” posters of insurance CEOs calling for their deaths makes you the tyrant, not them. Well, apparently there have been “WANTED” posters spotted in New York City — go figure — of health insurance company CEOs stating “FIGHT BACK” and “HEALTH CARE CEOS SHOULD NOT FEEL SAFE.”

Underscoring my point above about, say, publicly cheering the death of Jimmy Carter or Nancy Pelosi when that occurs, or if in the case of Carter at this point, imagine what would happen to you if you dared rip down these posters. If an Antifa or BLM goon spotted you you'd be eaten to a pulp or Alvin Bragg would slap you with a civil rights case faster than you can say Rachel Corrie Pancake Breakfast.

And yet, of course this happened in the wee small hours:

A woman in Florida has been arrested after she allegedly threatened the health insurance company BlueShield with a copycat crime following the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
The woman, 42-year-old Briana Boston of Lakeland, allegedly called BlueCross BlueShield in response to a recent medical claim being denied and issued a threat echoing the UnitedHealthcare CEO killer’s words.
“Delay, deny, depose. You people are next,” she allegedly said to the company over the phone.

How long before a GoFundMe or Kamala slithers out of Willie Brown's underwear to bail her out? Well, we've already had Christian schools, synagogues and pregnancy crisis centers firebombed, shot up and otherwise vandalized with essentially a yawn from the the weaponized, politicized Biden Junta in-Justice Department. And non-Democrat/Leftist Justices and politicians targeted and even attacked either at work or at their homes. Whatever perfunctory investigations or prosecutions that might have happened, the reaction from Democrat leaders and especially its base was either silence and indifference or cheers and applause. To this day I cannot recall even one half-hearted condemnation of the near mass murder of GOP politicians at a softball game by a Bernie Sanders and Dick Durbin affiliated terrorist/supporter.

The surprising thing to me is that Oil company executives have not been the targets as of yet, given the eliminationist rhetoric and propaganda of maniacs from Al Gore all the way down to brain-damaged Self-Inflicted Stockholm Syndrome sufferer Greta Von Thule, held captive and romantically involved with her own insanity. And now she's engaged in transference, from Fossil fuels to the Jews and Israel.

Famous quote time: "Where anything goes, eventually everything goes." Remember when Leftists shout "By Any Means Necessary," it's not jut a slogan it's a tactic with which to attain and maintain absolute power.

Along with violence we also have lying and bearing false witness. Blast from the past folks:

Former stripper and convicted murderer Crystal Mangum admitted Thursday that she lied and “made up a story” that three Duke University lacrosse players raped her at a team party in 2006.
“They trusted me that I wouldn’t betray their trust, and I testified falsely against them by saying that they raped me when they didn’t, and that was wrong,” Magnum told the independent media outlet “Let’s Talk With Kat” at the North Carolina Correctional Institution for Women.
“[I] made up a story that wasn’t true.”

Don't it make her brown thighs blue??? Wrong Crystal Gayle, but this story set the table for racialist bomb-thrower Barack Hussein Obama to slither into the White House in 2008 as the supposed first post-racial president, who after this incident destroyed 50 years of real post-racial progress and set the table for the brining down of cities in 2020 after the regrettable but all too predictable death of that Minneapolis thug George Thug who died while resisting arrest, and not murder by white police officers. Given all of the politicized/weaponized deaths such as this, it is kind of a minor miracle that Daniel Penny was acquitted of all charges by a NYC jury. I imagine Obama was also weeping when he heard this news.

So instead of race, the communists have to once again try to divide and conquer our society by demonizing capitalism. Oh, so long as vermin like Sharpton, Jackson, and Obama remain among us, the race card will be played again and again, along with transsexualism et al, con gusto.

Unless and until we can take back the schools and the culture, it's going to be a long and bloody rearguard action. To where we retreat is a mystery in this case. We were this close to being a people without a country until Donald Trump miraculously burst onto the scene and now won in 2024. But, we there are yet many battles to be fought until we can even begin to think we have a shot at making America AMERICA again let alone great again.

But along with the open border, Biden is unleashing criminals and the worst domestic terrorists, Chinese spies and others on us in what is hs, or really his puppet masters' "Nero Decree" to burn down the house before Trump can disinfect the government. The links are chock full of these stories.

As a bit of a teaser, we have a wonderful guest lined up for the next podcast, so look for it in the sidebar or at Cut Jib Newsletter either later today or tomorrow early.

As always, thank you for hitting the tip jar, and for all your love and support. Have a great weekend.

However, widespread EV adoption may not be as feasible as lawmakers and auto executives once claimed, with a new meta-analysis from the Institute for Energy Research (IER) noting EVs can have a variety of drawbacks for consumers when compared to their gas-powered counterparts, including elevated upfront costs, lower resale values, limited driving range and a lack of charging infrastructure.

24 That story about Wray promoting people to block Trump and Patel’s plans for the FBI… infuriating, but you know it’s true. Just the kind of thing a weasel would do. Kash Patel should do this: Anyone recently promoted is immediately transferred to the FBI field office in Antarctica. Enjoy the penguins!

If I were an FBI officer, I'd probably think twice about being promoted by Wray, because it makes one suspect from the start. But, then again, anyone in position to be promoted by Wray is probably a commie thug anyway.

26 Easy way to do away with Health Insurance CEO's getting whacked. Simply make health insurance, whether private or "government" issue, illegal. Pay for what you use yourself and watch the service improve as no more going to the doc just because your vulva is itchy and dry from your cosmetic labiaplasty and passing the buck and holding everyone else up waiting with real health problems.

29 Former stripper and convicted murderer Crystal Mangum admitted Thursday that she lied and “made up a story” that three Duke University lacrosse players raped her at a team party in 2006.

---

Let's see here... Ah, there it is:

"She can no longer be prosecuted for lying under oath since the statute of limitations on perjury charges under North Carolina law is two years.

Mangum’s shocking admission comes nearly two decades after she accused the lacrosse players of raping her while she was performing at a team party in March 2006."

She's in prison for murdering her boyfriend, and I assume she's coming up for parole release and this is a hail mary pass to help that.

38 26, you have to change the culture. Anyone kills anyone you put them under the jail for 40 years past their lifetime. Then you start talking about health insurance. It is weird to me that the entire left is fired up about health insurance when they created the system with Obamacare. The right does nothing and says nothing when of course this is the exact time to say something.

As for excusing killing random people, that is not America that will never be America, and the people that voted for Trump, and even some liberals will die on this hill. We don’t wanna hear your shit about why it is OK it is not OK and in this country we will never let it be OK. OK?

43 Think of any prominent Leftist/Democrat is either shot down in cold blood or otherwise dies of natural causes .... UHC CEO Thompson

-------

Most CEOs are hardcore lefties, whether from convenience or conviction, and the healthcare sector is more closely wed to the Party than most industries are. This cycle, under Thompson, UHC coughed up millions to Dems, and $800k to Harris' brief campaign alone. He was a pedigreed Party man.

The problem here is that the killer was a monster baby and all the people cheering him on are other monster babies and media people. Monster babies and the media aren't *quite* as important to the Party as money men like Thompson, but they're still very important constituencies. Agitprop and street violence and intimidation and dial-a-mobs are key tools for them.

So nobody in an official capacity can condemn either Thompson or Mangione. I'm sure it's a confusing moment for them. The monster babies are supposed to shoot Party enemies like Trump and Scalise and children in Christian creches, not important people on their own team.

It's something I've been warning about for twenty years, and we've been sliding quickly toward it for the last ten.

Starting in the Bush years, the Party academia and media went full bore in the colleges on radicalizing the youth and whipping them up into violent movement politics. But these monster babies are a tiger they're riding, and as the Silents and Boomers grow decrepit and weak the tiger will eat them too.

They can't control these "people" for much longer. They can't really control them now - the monster babies' all too public spasm of violent antisemitism just caused them a huge problem in an election campaign, for instance. Even just a few years ago, they could have held them back til after November.

83 So how large is this added distortion? In 2006, Martin Feldstein estimated the excess burden at 76 cents per dollar of added tax revenue, when the U.S. government was far smaller than today. If true, that estimate (not the highest estimate researchers have made) means one more dollar of government spending actually costs society $1.76. As a result, every dollar of additional government spending would have to generate more than $1.76 in benefits to conceivably improve Americans’ general welfare.

And to think that every dollar of foreign aid DOES NOTHING FOR AMERICANS.

98 My greatest fear for the country is FJB issuing a blanket pardon for Federal immigration law violations to every non-citizen in the US as of January 20, 2025.

Not unreasonable but...

1. I suspect there's got to be someone in the junta who knows how bad that would look.
2. Pardoning them for "immigration law violations" does not suddenly make their presence in the country legal.

This sort of thing isn't going to stop just because Trump got elected. (He still has to assume office) It's deeply rooted in society, the media, and government.

It's not a terrible idea if they want an arts degree or to learn history.

I think for an engineering or more technical path, assuming the kid didn't get a scholarship, it would be smart to do the first two years at a community college. Cheap and regional way to make sure he's cut out for it.

But there should be ONLY ONE CULTURE in a Western country otherwise it is a country divided. If you immigrate but don't assimilate then you need to leave.
As to the cousin-marriage - stop treating women as chattel and maybe people can meet up, fall in love and get married. Until women stop being just baby factories to you, and you prefer young boys' arses or goats for sex this will never end.

It was decided on whether the children of legal, permanent residents were citizens.

172 My greatest fear for the country is FJB issuing a blanket pardon for Federal immigration law violations to every non-citizen in the US as of January 20, 2025.
--
He can, yeah.
But that only removes the prior crime of entering illegally.
Remaining here without a visa is an on-going crime; e.g., visa overstay is a crime.

Oh, and accepting the pardon--as the DOJ helpfully reminded the J6 folks--is an admission you did commit the crime alleged .
So those pardoned will have admitted--judicially--that they did enter without permission; admitting they have no defense to deportation.

Given all of the politicized/weaponized deaths such as this, it is kind of a minor miracle that Daniel Penny was acquitted of all charges by a NYC jury.

252 I guess I’ve watch too many Ray Williams Johnson videos of various murders and other crimes to get too worked up about the CEO murder.

My default position is that CEOs of large companies have probably stabbed a lot of colleagues in the back to get where they are. And certainly the rich and powerful have tilted the playing field in their favor to the tune of trillions of dollars while simultaneously hollowing out the middle class.

One of the best things about this time is how many Americans are doing whatever they can to help Trump and his team take back this country. Big things, little things. It's really remarkable and restores a lot of my faith in this country.

257 Former state Attorney General Roy Cooper — currently the state’s governor — did not prosecute Mangum for perjury after the case was dismissed due to concerns over her mental health.

Cooper's gone. There's a new Donk in charge next. Who may or may not pardon Mangum. Probably not (see below)
As for parole, murder-2 has a minimum sentence so she's up in 2026. But if she's not paroled she hits the maximum sentence which lets her out 2028.
Either way she's broken. The Donks won't be able to use her to preach against "white male rape culture" or shit like that. And I genuinely believe she doesn't want it.

259 Your ancestors knew this when they made laws to govern themselves and hired policemen to enforce them. Now, we of the other planets have long accepted this principle. We have an organization for the mutual protection of all planets and for the complete elimination of racism. The test of any such higher authority is, of course, the police force that supports it. For our policemen, we created a race of robots, called Luigi. Their function is to patrol the planets in spaceships like this one and preserve the racial peace. In matters of racism, we have given them absolute power over us. This power cannot be revoked. At the first sign of racism, they act automatically against the racial provocateur. The penalty for provoking their action is too terrible to risk.

286 If President Trump wants to make an important statement and also fix a wrong that he could do right now he should bring back Fort Benning, Pickett, Bragg, Polk, and A.P. Hill. Fort Benning is where half of us that served in the Army did our basic training. I still don’t know the made-up name they have for it and I have no plans on knowing it.

This is something Trump can change with no one’s input as far as I know. He previously said the name should not have been changed. If he does, this, he will be doing the right thing by many people who served in our military.

This is not political because the irony is most of those generals were awful generals. This is about respecting American history and the men who served at those bases over many decades.

Given the tech of today, doing a remake, scene by scene, keeping the same audio cues and everything but giving a MAJOR facelift to the appearance seems feasible. If they still have all the 3D assets used, that would be even better. Problem is whether they kept those assets archived properly or if they were lost, much like the source code and assets to many famous video games.

326 >>Walgreens to Pay More than $100 Million to Settle Claims of Billing Government for Undispensed Prescriptions

Ironic, given that it's the state government in CA (and likely others?) that allows Walgreens to be robbed blind by organized shoplifting gangs day after day, and in some cases, multiple times per day.

Which style of theft was more costly?
And why is it always the 'third man' - the taxpayers and paying customers - that foot the bill for all of this corporate and criminal theft?

It'll be even easier to fire everyone promoted in the last 6 months of the administration. Kind of like putting up a scoreboard of loyalists.

336 Lee made the correct choice, but no one can say if the confederacy did an insurgency it would not have worked. Lee’s point was if it had worked, it would not matter because his goal was to be a modern western state not an insurgency.
Posted by: Quint

My understanding was that Lee saw what was happening in MO and Ks and decided a guerilla war was too hard on the general population.
Is that a misinterpretation?

338 Grant once said that he feared Johnston more than Lee. He said Johnston was a better general than Lee. Grant was lying when he said that, it wasn’t just his opinion he was flat out lying. He was never mad enough to admit that Lee was a great general, and it is fair to say that General Lee said many great things about Grant. But if you look at any respected his story today and they will tell you, Grant simply wouldn’t admit the reality. If there were only two great generals of that war, the two were Grant and Lee. That neither could admit the greatness of the other was part of their character.

341 336, lee’s arm was falling apart we can’t deny that factor. He only entertained giving up because literally his army was collapsing, and no one could feed them. An insurgency or guerilla war was a possibility for sure. Lee’s own subordinates recommended that form of action. I can only take the man at his word and and he said that the CSA was a western nation and they fought in a western way and they lost in that way. He thought a guerilla insurgency would simply continue the pain. But you see a lot of gorilla movements in the world such as the islamists and they don’t care about pain.

To leave this was a war between two modern armies of two modern nation states and they were two nation states. Lee surrendered his army because there was no other option. There were other confederate armies in the field, but they were nothing without Lee. Anyone who tries to downplay lead to you whether they are from the north or the south is either lying to you or they just don’t know the history, right.

342 If there were only two great generals of that war, the two were Grant and Lee. That neither could admit the greatness of the other was part of their character.
-----------------------
This over looks Bedford Forrest and Stonewall Jackson. These two were innately great generals. Lee was only successful with Jackson at his side. Forrest is likely the greatest field general in American history. Lee was an engineer. Grant was a hardware salesman.

Posted by: pudinhead at December 13, 2024 09:43 AM (jFCkp)

343 Where to start lol. I appreciate your opinion for sure. The reality is Bedford Forest was amazing at what he did, but his ultimate goal was to protect Vicksburg, which fell. He had all these small victories, but the entire point was to protect Vicksburg, which fell and it didn’t just fall. They lost everyone there as they all became prisoners of war.

Jackson was great as a Corps commander in the field. The problem was in many ways. He was a nut. He kept charging his own generals with insubordination, and he would do it during battle, and put them under military court marshal during campaigns. There’s a famous scene in the movie Gettysburg when General Garnett goes into battle during Pickett’s charge on his horse. He made that death move because Stonewall Jackson called him a coward earlier.

Posted by: Quint at December 13, 2024 09:50 AM (hcJdN)

344 Jackson was a talented core Commander, but he could never lead an army if you want me to I could give you 10 other examples of why. That is a very famous southern myth that if only Jackson were there blah blah blah. Times the general of Stonewall Jackson and 10 times the general of James Longstreet. It is cool that people disagree with me that makes history fun, but not to be a jerk but all the top civil war historians agree with me.

Posted by: Quint at December 13, 2024 09:51 AM (hcJdN)

345 Lee was the best thing the CSA ever had and Jefferson Davis who was not someone to get along with anyone else said that over and over ended writing. Jefferson Davis said the truth they needed five great generals, but they only had one. He wasn’t talking about Stonewall Jackson, Nor Forrest, nor Longstreet. He was talking about Lee. I guess for some it seems boring to think Lee was the only great general the CSSA had but if you’re looking at commanders of armies, yes he was the only great general they had.

Yes, let's not rush to judgement, lest we falsely accuse someone, because that could destroy a life.

357 I think it's safe to assume that we can all agree on this point...

If we had actual free markets in the healthcare industry, not a single person would buy an insurance policy the way they are currently constituted. Therefore, the market would be forced to adjust.

They currently have no incentive to improve outcomes for patients, and are quite incentivized to do the opposite.
