The Morning Report — 3/ 13 /25

Moltentough.jpg

Good morning kids. I often start my column with the words "One of the most execrable examples of humanity" and that could describe virtually everyone in the Democrat Left, so at this point, perhaps I should probably just retire it and get right to it. A congress-momzer who appears to use semen as some form of emollient on his lips, named Seth Moulton is yet the latest illustration of Ace of Spades Law of political nature 1: "Our speech is violence but their violence is speech.

In the clip, Moulton responded to a question from CNN host Audie Cornish on the Trump administration potentially classifying violence against Teslas or Tesla dealerships by stating, “So, Trump thinks that if you try to kill cops to overthrow the government and change an election, that’s not domestic terrorism, but, somehow, having a protest in front of a Tesla dealership is?” And “The bottom line with Trump is, freedom and liberties belong to people who agree with him, and that’s it. That’s his view of America. That’s not a view that people who believe in our Constitution share.”
. . . “So, he’s basically justifying terrorism here, because he will not condemn the terrorists. … He doesn’t even do the pro forma, I condemn all acts of political violence, which you should do. But he doesn’t do that.”


Let's unpack this and get to the crux of the biscuit. First of all, Moulton is referring to j-6 where Malig-Nancy Pelosi and the FBI/DOJ's false flag op resulted in innocent protesters being murdered by her goons and no police were attacked at all. They in fact were the attackers at her and her party's behest.

But that aside, Even if that was true, how can he justify the terroristic firebombing of Tesla dealerships by not only ignoring the attacks but labeling them as "protest" and legitimate and constotutional. If one more scumbag like him hides behind the very document they have shredded for 200 years and claim the mantle of patriots, my head will explode.

Well, let's underscore the aforementioned on a humorous note!

A masked man vandalized a Tesla charging station  and attempted to burn it down using molotov cocktails in North Charleston, South Carolina, ultimately setting himself on fire in the process. The maniac spray-painted “Long live Ukraine” next to a vulgar message aimed at President Trump at the scene.

The Post and Courier reports that in a bizarre incident that unfolded in North Charleston, South Carolina, a masked Trump hater vandalized and attempted to set fire to Tesla charging stations, only to end up setting himself ablaze in the process. The incident, which took place near a Mellow Mushroom pizzeria at 4855 Tanger Outlet Blvd., has left the community stunned and authorities searching for answers. According to witnesses, the masked individual, wearing a gray jacket or hoodie, spray-painted the message “(expletive) TRUMP LONG LIVE UKRAINE” near the bank of Tesla charging stations before proceeding with his ill-fated attempt to destroy the electric vehicle chargers. The man reportedly used beer bottles as makeshift Molotov cocktails, setting them on fire and hurling them at three charging stations. However, during this act of arson, the man inadvertently set himself on fire, with witnesses reporting flames spreading across his back.

As onlookers began calling 911, the masked individual fled the scene, running past a nearby Zaxby’s restaurant and towards the hotels behind it. The North Charleston police department has not yet identified or arrested the suspect, but the incident has resulted in an estimated $60,000 in damages to the Tesla charging infrastructure.


Elsewhere, and not wholly unrelated vis a vis the Democrats falling all over themselves to defend and beatify and terrorism loving and Jew-baiting beast from Syria from being ejected from our country for fomenting violence against Jews, the estimable Melanie Phillips nails it.

Such indifference to the outrageous lawbreaking, harassment and intimidation that has consumed universities, which have echoed for months chants for Israel’s destruction and the murder of Jews, throws into even sharper relief the shocking revelation that support for Israel in America has fallen to below 50% for the first time.

The latest Gallup polling revealed only 46% of Americans say their sympathies lie more with Israel than the Palestinians, while 33%.

Thirty-three percent sympathize more with the Palestinians, up by 6 percentage points from last year.

How could this have happened?

American support for Israel has long been as reliable as the sun rising in the morning.

Israel is not only regarded as America’s indispensable bulwark in the Middle East; Americans’ support for it has been more full-throated and emotional than among many Jewish communities around the world.
The huge drop in support overall has been caused by Democrat supporters, who have registered a stunning 59% support for the Palestinians versus only 21% for Israel.

In sharp contrast, Republicans support Israel over the Palestinians 75% to 10%. . .

. . . So why have the Democrats turned against the Jewish state?

. . . Jewish values are at the very heart of Western and American culture.

Concepts at the core of democracy — limited government and the rule of law founded in the consent of the people — were introduced to the world by the Hebrew Bible.

They were explicitly drawn upon by America’s Founding Fathers when they laid down the principles of the US Constitution and defined the American nation.

That nation and its foundational values have been under sustained assault by liberal universalists led by the Democrat Party.

Scratch an opponent of Israel and you’ll find someone who believes the worst of the West and rubbishes its institutions.

Scratch a protester against the West and you’ll find an enemy of Israel.

The war against Israel is a war against the West; and the war against the West is a war against the Jews.

BINGO! And this is why it is perfectly acceptable in the eyes of Democrats to hurl firebombs at Tesla dealerships, beat up Jews on campuses, attempt to assassinate Donald Trump and on and on and on.

So, unless and until a very large segment of the disaffected Democrat base sees all this for what it is, and finally lets the scales fall from their eyes, this next item is meaningless.

As Mel Gibson discovered, the recent LA fires so thoroughly destroyed his home that the remains would fit inside an urn. For this disaster, Gibson cited willful neglect on the part of Los Angeles mayor Karen Bass, who decamped to Africa while the smoke was rising, and Gov. Gavin Newsom, who was busy promoting his bullet train project in the central valley. . .
. . . Newsom claimed that those who voted no the recall “were really saying ‘yes’ to vaccines, science, inclusion and pluralism.” If Californians thought voter fraud carried the day it would be hard to blame them. The millions of illegals registered to vote by the DMV prompted little if any curiosity from the state’s press corps. For all but the willfully blind, the illegals constitute California’s imported electorate, and this is the Democrats’ plan for the entire country. When Kamala Harris ran for the US. Senate, Gov. Newsom named Alex Padilla to replace her. The senator nobody voted for now wants the Treasury Department to register voters at federally funded tax-preparation centers for those with “limited English,” code for illegals in the style of “migrant” and “undocumented.”  This is a version of motor-voter for the millions of illegals Biden brought in, with no criminal background checks or health records. Trump is deporting as many as possible, violent criminals first, but there’s more he can do. All federal aid to California should be conditioned on ballot reform, specifically targeting illegal voters. Anyone who supports voting by illegals forfeits any claim to follow the rule of law. Voter fraud should be a front-line issue leading into the mid-terms and 2028. In the meantime, we’ll have to see what happens with the recall for Gov. Newsom, now joined by Mel Gibson. “California was ill-prepared and had scant resources to deal with the inevitable fires.” Gibson explains. “So are we supposed to believe our elected officials didn’t know that? Of course they knew that. Governor Newsom and Karen Bass let us all down.”

My reaction to all of this is, Meh, so you get rid of Newsom and you replace him with who?!

This is just more swapping of deck chairs on the Titanic, when the passengers need to abandon ship and move over to a U.S.S. CONSTITUTION. Literal and figurative.

Have a great day.

And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

28 The Kabul Catastrophe (August 15, 2021)
President Joe Biden sat hunched at the head of the table. He puzzled over his daily brief, now delivered in the form of a sound book for toddlers. "A is for Afghan—A is for—A is for—A is for—A—A—A—A is for Afghanistan." It drove his aides crazy, but they also knew the sacrifice was worth it. For the moment, at least, this diminished man they had taken to calling "the commander in corpse" would be too occupied to follow up on his latest obsession: filming a "hot sex tape" with Dr. Jill. Among the senior advisers, only Hunter had taken it seriously, but the first son had other things on his mind today.
"Dunkirk," Hunter said, slapping the table with authority. "We can do what they did in Dunkirk." He had recently seen the Christopher Nolan film, he explained.
"Brilliant," the president replied. "D is for Dunkirk. Where's the secretary of defense?"

36 Here's how it works: Democrats sit on their hands and do nothing about spending until the budget deadline looms. Once they are operating in a time-crisis setting, Democrats put forth a grotesque, bloated, and usually immoral omnibus spending bill rife with grift for their friends and economic incontinence. Republicans naturally recoil at this abomination and refuse to vote for it. Democrats and their media allies then bray that Republicans are obstructionists.

That would have worked 20 years ago. Hell, it would have worked 10 years ago. Not sure it'll work today.

The Democrats appear to have still not gotten the message that times have changed. With any luck, they never will.

37 Andrew Bates, the White House press aide, waited until the room was mostly empty before approaching the president, who was fidgeting with some notecards. Biden held one up and asked Bates what it said. "'The meeting is over. You stand up and exit through the door on the right,'" he read aloud. "But before you go, Mr. President…"
"Spit it out, you sumbitch," Biden growled. "I haven't got all day, and you don't want to fight me."
"Of course, sir. I'm sorry, sir," Bates said, trembling. "Jen wanted me to ask you what we should tell the press."
Biden pinched the young aide's cheek with his bony fingers, leaned over, and whispered: "You tell them, 'No, Joe Biden doesn't have a doctorate in foreign affairs. He's just that fucking good.'"

I will be SO happy to be proven wrong!! Can we put a stake in the thread about them caving now?

Yeah, assuming they follow through (sorry for the cynicism). I'm not optimistic with what I'm reading on bluesky and other places. Maybe the phone calls helped!

YES!! NOW START FRAMING THE ISSUE!! Democrats have to say they will work with the GOP and WH but this bill is bad for America!! No more breaks for billionaires! No more unelected wealthy bureaucrats like Musk!

Don’t teach. Don’t explain. Just repeat a few key ideas. And tell Americans what you stand for!

I'm going to start crying again. This feels like coming up for air, however briefly.

79 Contrary to those who allege that the U.S. government can spend and borrow with abandon because it can print money, the Government Accountability Office warns that “the costs of federal borrowing will be borne by tomorrow’s workers and taxpayers,” which “may reduce or slow the growth of the living standards of future generations.”

Such effects may have already begun. Although association does not prove causation, the national debt has risen steeply over recent decades, and with this, the U.S. has experienced episodes of rapid inflation and historically poor growth in gross domestic product, productivity, and household income.

… that inflation has the effect of devaluing the dollar and the debt, reducing the actual yield of the debt holders. Once the debt is large enough, the only way out will be MASSIVE inflation to write down the debt.

LOL. I swear I had no idea this was even a thing. I haven't looked it up myself because I don't need to get any stupider but my understanding is it's one of the ways the secularists feed the inherent female need for something bigger - by telling them that Judaism isn't really bad for a religion - very progressive - while icky Christianity came along and set women back centuries. It gets dumber and dumber the more you learn.

They also apparently think the "Jewish God" was all about living in the now with a big bent on personal freedom and being loved for who you are (even though he had just a few tiny little Commandments for everyone to sort of follow) rather then being "controlled" by promises of future salvation.

In every job I've had the company assumes if you know something you can teach it to other people. Without spending 6 years getting a master's degree in teaching people. And it works.

TBH it would be better to have teachers learn whatever topic they are teaching - chemistry, math, etc, and have a 3 month primer on teaching.

But there are plenty of secular nominal “Christians” who think this as well. They don’t want to allow reality to interfere with their happy feel good ideology. And they tend to collapse personally when they are forced to confront the way things really are.

Some of Mahmoud Khalil's lawyers are from CUNY CLEAR. If only someone had been recording them for the past few years. Oh wait, that person was me.

Here is one of Mahmoud Khalil's lawyers, Shazza Abboushi Dallal, from a CUNY CLEAR training that I snuck into and recorded.

"Another question: what if somebody just pretends complete ignorance to Hamas, don't know what you're talking about.

So I think this question is really like Yeah, I, I would answer the same way. I mean, first of all, saying I don't know when you do know, or feigning ignorance when that's not the reality, could be construed as a misrepresentation or a lie, and you find yourself in the sort of situation that you wanna avoid that we were speaking about earlier of criminal and potential immigration consequences flowing.

And that's why, you know, silence is just, is better. Better and more protective for you."

I can't tell you how many of these sorts of trainings I have attended where legal clinics like CUNY CLEAR urged foreign student activists to be smarter about what they said publicly. They knew this day could come one day. It is here now.

This is the "girlboss paradox" - a girl/woman is always a strong, independent being who's better than all the other boys/women yet somehow also the biggest victim requiring special treatment and concern. Apparently, it now covers self-identified women.

Well, if you want to be all pedantical about it, it's actually a language group, not an ethnicity. The word "antisemitism" was coined by 19th Century race boneheads who conflated ethnicity with language. I guess they thought "anti-Jewish" wasn't sexy enough.

222 The UK's Prime Minister Is Killing Economic Growth

Prime Minister Starmer promised to “secure the highest sustained growth among the G7 nations” prior to last year’s general election. However, under the new government, the UK economy continues to struggle to grow. GDP growth was positive in the first half of 2024, but stalled in the second half. The third quarter of 2024 experienced 0.0 percent growth compared to the previous quarter, although it was forecast to be at least around 0.1 percent. The UK’s service sector recorded a 0.1 percent decline, with the financial and insurance sector, which forms 8 percent of the UK’s GDP, suffering a 0.6 percent reduction in activity.

But it will start to mold over in just a few days in warm weather. Food manufacturers aren’t necessarily trying to kill us, they want maximum shelf life.

They need to look at generally, the rot-gut cheap ass ingredients (sourced from golly knows where) that they buy at wholesale. Hydrogenated industrial oils were ersatz replacements when natural sources were unavailable or in short supply.

When was that? Every time a CR approaches that I've been a part of, all the employees are briefed on what they can and can't do while furloughed, and they're always told that backpay is not guaranteed, but is almost always part of whatever budget resolution is finally passed. Just this week, my office has had this general, boilerplate announcement.

Identified essential workers have to keep coming to work, and are guaranteed to be paid, but only once a budget is passed.

The Jewish demo has become something like 65-35 D-R.

It's weird that the perception that it's nearly as monolithic as blacks (85-90% D) survives.

Of course, I also get told that Catholics are monolithic D voters as well, and it's been a tussle back and forth for a few years about which party gets the slim majority from Catholics.

Regular attendance for religion is the separating marker. I also suspect that generational replacement of voting patterns is having something to do with it.

Old people are pretty much set in their ways including voting and disliking change. Younger people are more fluid in voting, in part, because current situations in politics matter more to them than what happened to Granmpa in the Depression.

Possibly financial support but right now, with Act Blue, and other party oligarchs at odds, we shall just have to wait and see. By the way, I agree personally that Gavin is about as unappealing a candidate that I have seen in the past and his record is appallingly bad. My guess is that the Dems either go for a fresh face if they think the race is winnable or they pivot to an old hack re-run like Kamala if they do not.

Dunno, Clyburn and the money from ActBlue probably makes a difference there. SC is a machine politics state similar to IL in its heyday. CA was one back in the day as well. Easier to loot the people if you have a machine Uniparty (I think mebbe Royko called the machine in IL as the Combine).
