The Morning Report — 8/12/25

SpankJoker.jpg

Good morning kids. Along with the holy hell the Leftists are raising over Gerrymandering — that is Texas Governor Greg Abbott's using the long abused process by Democrats to wrest control of congressional districts for the sole purpose of disenfranchising Republican voters and thereby helping cement a Democrat stranglehold on the legislative process in DC, and in so doing, protect the overwhelming majority of Texans from becoming Democrat hostages.


And with the illegal alien invasion such as it is protecting Texas' crucial Electoral College votes from being hijacked and ultimately America itself from being subsumed into a Socialist/Democrat third world shithole

The big story that is more than tangentially related to the aforementioned is the reaction to President Trump calling out the National Guard to help the under equipped and in reality Democrat-Leftist hamstrung Washington DC police force and DA's office, in getting criminals and scum the hell off the streets.

But let's take a moment and step back to put things in proper perspective. Why is Washington DC and in general virtually all of America's major metropolitan areas crime-ridden hellscapes? To answer that question, first look at who and what has controlled America's cities for decades? The answer of course is the Democrat Party. Who commits the overwhelming majority of crimes in these cities? That would be blacks, Latinos and other non-whites. And these demographic groups have been attached to the hip with the Democrat Party for generations.

Now step back again and try to figure out why it should be that blacks continue to commit the overwhelming majority of crimes. The answer, or at least where to look for the answer is in the trajectory of the black family post World War 2 and the Civil Rights era. As the final stakes were driven into the heart of Jim Crow, the Democrats saw a very large chunk of the voting base, American blacks, moving away from them as they climbed the socio-economic ladder, and so as that happened, the Democrat drive to re-enslave black America via big government dependency started the destruction of the black family, which accelerated with the culture that rejects integration and "acting white" as being a race-traitor and inauthentic. Western values and ethics of morality, hard work, education and responsibility are rejected and an entire cultural movement that reinforces the toxic notion of black victimhood gives them the green light to do anything to survive in "a white man's world."

Look at DEI, the 1619 Project, the anti-racism JIVE Kampf of Ibram X Krement et al, the constant drumbeat of Institutional White Supremacy as all pervasive and inescapable. No wonder we had the Democrat/Leftist led movement to Open up the prisons, decriminalize crime and defund the Police. Forget for a moment that Trayvon Martin, Mike Brown, Freddie Gray. George Floyd and all the rest of them were engaging in crime when they encountered their fates at the hands of citizens and/or the police. No, for the Democrats, better they should be portrayed as victims of White supremacy. Lest we forget the summer of 2020 when cities were burned to the ground and that evil hideous beast the then mayor of Baltimore Stephanie Rawlings-Blake demanded that the rioters must have "The Space to Destroy."

We have given the Democrat Left the time and the space to destroy both the Black Family and much of this nation as it was founded.

So, President Trump can call out the National Guard to try and restore order in DC, but given all I have stated, to me it's virtually akin to pissing in the wind.

And yes, Israel must and should destroy Hamas, but at the end of the day the root cause of Hamas' existence will still remain: Islam.

So, call out the National Guard, but until Democrat/Leftism is utterly and completely eradicated America's cities, American Blacks and all of America as founded and as we want it to be, will continue to face mortal peril that calling out the Guard will not solve.

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.

Have a great day!

17 Three Canadian provinces have outlawed woodland access due to concerns over wildfire risk and are now threatening massive fines or jail for Canadians who violate the lockdown and who go out into nature.

What is it about Leftists? Same problem, "control" wildfires.

The California Palisades Fire was due to the tyranny of preventing removal of kindling and denying mitigation and prevention efforts while permitting meth head vagrants all the space to commit arson.

The Canadian response is to tyrannically treat everyone as an active arsonist and deprive them of God given liberties to walk outside under the canopy of a tree.

Same problem, they both refuse common-sense and run immediately to demonic tyrannical control.

25 I don't think Trump is pissing in the wind with DC.

I think like with many other issues he is opening eyes to possibilities and narratives that otherwise go unexplored or undetected by the average person.

He uses the attention, noise and arguments from the Left to amplify the new perspective. They still don't seem to get it, but in a way he doesn't give them any chance, but to lose.

They either ignore it and he fixes things and writes tne narrative he will broadcast at his time of choosing - or they yell and scream and he uses the attention to show everyone the truth of what they've been up to. Lose-lose.

Genetically are more predisposed to having a low-activity variant of the MAOA-L (aka "warrior gene") whereas when the MAO-A enzyme is deficient the results are often unusually aggressive and violent behavior?

Lacking a father who knows the secondary function of a belt may also contribute.

Dittos with low IQ and damaged amygdala.

And estranged from the Creator God.

Add up enough of these factors, both genetic and environmental and you have the expected outputs.

Desegregation hurt blacks as much, or more than, it helped them.

They had their own neighborhoods, schools, churches, businesses, culture. American blacks thrived in many areas of the country because they had their own social structures. They only lacked control of local government and services.

Desegregation just happened to coincide with the largest economic downturn in the U.S. since the Great Depression after the post-war boom ended in the late 60s-70s.

So when blacks could patronize formerly Whites Only establishments, it killed black-owned businesses.

Then LBJ added in the Great Society.
Black males never fully recovered after that.

Now the Woke want (subsidized) segregation again.

Trump’s move to take over DC has a decent chance of working *because* no one gives a fuck about what residents there think about it. They’ve forfeited their right to have any say.
Of course there are some decent people there, but when you live in a kennel don’t be surprised when you’re treated like a dog.

46 John Eastman, once an attorney for former President Donald Trump, was de-banked twice in the span of several months by two prominent financial institutions, Bank of America and USAA, he told the Daily Caller. His accounts were closed as he faced substantial backlash for his work advising Trump around the time of the 2020 election.

Eastman said he had switched most of his banking from Bank of America to USAA, a company that provides financial services exclusively to military veterans as well as their families, due to the former’s “wokeness.”

having lived most of my adult life in the city of Philadelphia - no one wants or needs Singapore or whatever else you're describing.

It's not out of the realm of possibilities that he had severe mental health issues (already confirmed) and quite likely couldn't reconcile his own self with his imagined self.

I’m sure that’s what happened. Anyone who goes trans starts off being desperately unhappy with who they are, and willing to do anything to be someone else. That’s the obvious reason so many commit suicide - he made the huge change, but found out that he was still himself, with all the same problems.
Doctors and other professionals who “assist” in these “transitions” are just money sucking ghouls stripping the last assets away from mentally ill people who they know are headed to the grave.

60 Donald Trump has lashed out at Nobel Prize–winning economist Paul Krugman in a late-night rant after he weighed in on the president’s tariffs and the drama surrounding his jobs report...calling him a “Deranged BUM”.

Does he know people laugh a him? Only a handful of low-information voters actually believe his 2016 election was a great success. I remember one of his voters was asked a simple question that he could not answer....."How many branches of government do we have"? He didn't know what a "branch" of government meant!

He'll do anything to get people to stop talking about the fact that he's a 34 times convicted felon, a rapist of a 13 year old girl, and he is in the Epstein Files.

There's a cartoon (from the New Yorker IIRC) that has the Nobel Committee sitting around a conference table and the guy addressing them says "Just for fun, let's give it to Obama again."

the nuttier he gets after sundown, the better. those evening functions are going to require more and more drugs to level out his mood and prevent violence. They'll be unable to hide his growing derangement from the public.

*************

Insanity of insanities. All is insanity.

This is yet another example of "defining disease downward". We've seen pre-diabetes, pre-cancerous lesions, pre-hypertension and so on. Now, an industry that has no cures for serious mental illness offers early detection and preventive intervention for elementary school kids with possible mental health struggles.

Say that again. "Possible mental health struggles." ????? What does that even mean?

News flash: All children have mental health struggles. It is insane to make normal stages of early childhood development into a disease. Feelings such as sadness, sense of loss, frustration, temper tantrums and such are normal, and part of the process of growing up. Learning how to constructively come to grips with emotions, with societal behavioral norms, with challenging situations, is the business of childhood.

The business of parents, teachers, pediatricians, etc should be to foster and nourish that development. Calling everything a "mental health struggle" fosters the opposite: immaturity, impulsive actions, and self indulgent behavior.

You will enjoy reading work by Dr Leonard Jeffries Jr who popularized the idea of Ice People and Sun People.

Overview of his theory:

Ice People are generally of European descent and have cultures based on aggression and conquest due to their colder, harsher climates.

Sun People, referring to those of African descent have cultures rooted in compassion and communal values shaped by warmer, tropical climates.

Eye of the beholder.

68 Very unsettling about the "mental health screening" to occur in schools, especially since school employees are mostly nuts and misfits themselves.

--

Any kind of healthcare, mental or otherwise, for students is of no damned business for any public school system, most especially the public school system filled with the rot we have now. Apart from the occasional visit to the school nurse if you get hurt or feel sick, they have no right to query any kid about mental health issues or any other such thing. I would flat out refuse to let my child participate.

Way liberal sis lives in Philly - got hit on her bike by the nicest and most moral military member and his car. 5 witnesses stopped. Ambulance called - never showed. Cops called - never showed b/c it wasn't a death. After THREE hours, she and the military guy eventually went to the police department for a report and then she went to Urgent Care (was trying to avoid Philly ERs - failed b/c they sent her there and she waited 8+ hours). I thought this would be a political turning point for her on Dem run cities and services. But no. Maybe it would have been if the best person ever hadn't accidentally run a red and Tboned her. She's okay now, but still has some pinched nerve issues and pain a month later...

When I was a kid we moved to Princeton, NJ right as NJ was settling into years of race riots. Princeton had a sizable minority community and even my grammar school had fights pretty much daily. We even had two principals, one for the white kids and one of the black kids.

You'll probably be shocked to learn we also had disparate punishment. If there was an issue between a white and black kid it was guaranteed the white kid was going to get harsher treatment even if his crime was hitting the black kids fist with is face. My first taste of "social justice" and it was a complete disaster.

I also live in Boston for over 20 years got to see big city dysfunction up close and personal. People can dance around it all the want but there is a problem with black culture. Democrats started them down this road by treating them like children that must be given handouts and zero accountability and here we are decades later and we can all see the disaster they created.

Posted by: Unknown Drip Under Pressure at August 12, 2025 08:02 AM (a4flb)

South Africa’s problem is that the ANC are the original Woke-Communists. It’s CRT in practice that has produced the results there.

American blacks of the 1940s & 50s were not communists. They were mostly Christian working men, and women taking care of the family.

It was until the 60s, when the radicals took over the left which contained every color in the rainbow advocating for socialism, that blacks started adding ethno-nationalism to their socialism.

And then their families fell apart much faster than white families, but we are making up for lost time now.

At the heart of it lies the allure of socialist ideology which has ruined just about every nation on the planet since its inception.

South Africa is a basket case for the same reason the Soviet Union was a basket case, they just got there faster because they added rampant race-based corruption to the mix.

Equally as bad, Democrats also made sure to stoke constant racial anger in the black communities. Constantly telling them all their troubles were caused by whites. An explosion of violence and deep-seeded anger is the result. Instead of fostering any kind of racial harmony, Democrats purposefully created this dysfunction. If it can even be done (I don't hold out much hope), it will take decades to unravel the harm they've caused blacks. IMHO

The harsh winters of Europe forced planning and cooperation to survive. But this leads to rigid hierarchy and dependency on others, which explains the submissive nature towards government of Northern Europeans in general.

The tropics, on the other hand, where you could survive by just reaching up in a tree and grabbing some fruit for the entire year gave the Sun People quite the individualist streak because you could say “Screw these old people and their stupid rules” and move yourself and your family to the next island over.

Which explains the Polynesians spreading out as far as they did.

But even in the tropics you could get something like the Aztecs once the population gets large enough and the inevitable conflicts start.

During a July 29 State Department press briefing, a reporter asked for an update about “millions of dollars’ worth of contraceptives stocked in Belgium that are due to be incinerated in France […] I know that the Belgian government is trying to find alternative solutions. Is the U.S. government ready to find alternative solutions or are they destined to be destroyed?”

134 Good morning!

>>So, President Trump can call out the National Guard to try and restore order in DC, but given all I have stated, to me it's virtually akin to pissing in the wind.


I don't think so, JJ.
Kash Patel is reporting the lowest murder rates in many years this year. Why is that?

We know that repeat offenders do most of the crime. Trump has been busy deporting our repeat criminal aliens like gangbusters, and the crime rates are showing a difference. If they can keep this up -- keep deporting them, arresting and prosecuting them, stopping them from re-entry, the stats will show it.

Pretty sure THAT is what the Left and MSM fear the most about his move in DC: like Bukele, he will prove, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that cities can be cleaned up a lot faster and easily if you -- get this -- set out to do it.

137 One thing, even more dramatic than what we have experienced with Trump's two terms: look at Argentina.

One thing I do not think we consider enough about socialism.

1) Increase the power of the state to be able to accomplish all the things you want to do.

2) This increases the opportunities for graft. Let's call it the attachment points for the remora of fuckwit GOPe/lefty bullshit- like USAID.

3) This graft is not just about diversion of the funds and corruption, it is also just a gigantic institutional drag on everything. The corruption is a parasite growing large enough to kill the host.

4) Destroying not just the stupid programs but also the sites for the corruption to attach is a huge benefit. It is like someone with a gigantic benign tumor. You finally remove the tumor and that by itself is a huge boon to them.

146 Regarding the mainstream media and Israel, there's a pattern here, like a planned campaign. They're covering Israel like they cover Trump, or like those videos of the mainstream personalities using exactly the same word like they all receive an instruction sheet from the DNC every day. Yes, it points to the Democrats because that's how they operate. And it points to a Democratic campaign to trash Israel for political reasons, maybe to coalesce a voting block of the bodies they dumped in here over the last few years.

149 I am extremely gratified to see one of the top links discuss Henry VIII’s Dissolution of the Monasteries Act, since I have long written that it is the perfect model for what we must do with the current Academic world. It was a huge system with tens of thousands of clerics (employees) which owned as much as 1/3 of all the farmable land in England, which they rented out. Henry crushed it all with a single bill, and the people rejoiced to see what had become a cruel class of grifters swept away.

Posted by: Tom Servo at August 12, 2025 08:37 AM (MOJY1)

Jane Austen took for granted that everyone knew about England's archaic laws about the clergy and inheritance, but I doubt she imagined that more people in a colony of England would read her works than England itself.

It was something the dems have been trying to do for the past... 10-15 years. They are trying to literally force reality by perception.

1) This show is fun. If it is the only thing you have to watch you will love it.

2) If we say the economy is great. People will believe it.

3) If we say someone is a great speaker, people will believe it.

4) If we merely do not report crime, people will believe it is safe by statistics. In other words, the main mass of people will not be murdered or raped, etc, so they will believe the party line that there is no crime. That only works up to a point.

There is actually some logic behind this move. China has the second largest contingent of AI scientists in the world (thanks, US university system) and has the capability to produce a viable competitive ecosystem to the US (NVDA, AMD et al) system. If we embargo all of our tech, we incentivize the CCP to develop a competitor and flood the market with it, creating a dual standard system. That ultimately doesn't benefit us. Basically, we're currently doing to the CCP what they've done to us for the past 30 years, but in an industry where the winner gets all the marbles.

221 CNN Politics: Trump moves Obama, Bush portraits to hidden stairwell. Once a dramatic feature of the White House entryway, the official portrait of former President Barack Obama has been moved to a decidedly less prominent position, underscoring the yearslong tensions between the 44th and 47th presidents...where it will now be out of view from thousands of visitors who tour the White House each day. One of the sources added that the portraits of both Bushes are also now in the staircase area.

I honestly never thought we would see a president who felt so desperately inferior to George W Bush. It's astonishing

There is no tension in their relationship because there is no relationship. It’s pure jealousy and resentment by Trump. It’s petty and small. Trump is a small petty and pitiful human being. That’s the best I can say about him.

Rolling Stone reports this is the second time Trump has relocated Obama’s portrait. In its place, Trump put a painting of himself raising his fist after the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania.

No matter where he relocates these pictures, Bush & Obama still live rent free in his demented mind!

223 The problem is one of assimilation not race. If you purposefully keep one group separate and don't make them live by the cultural rules and expectations that everyone else lives by they will naturally live by different values and rules.

The whole point of Johnson's great society was to force blacks to become wards of the state, dependent on government for everything from housing to food. We have been living through years of them attempting to do the same thing with illegals and look how well that worked out.

If you import the 3rd world and allow them to live like the 3rd world you get the 3rd world. It's not complicated.

232 SC only has a gerrymandered 6th Congressional District containing all of six counties and parts of another eight because the DOJ forced the state to do it in a consent decree in order to form a black-majority district (D +13).

Which gave us Jim Clyburn for over thirty years.

If the SC legislature wanted to do it there would be zero Dem districts in this state.

I saw a map of the movement of legacy Brits. You can see them fleeing the big cities (where they have been replaced by Asians).

The problem is that while that improves your immediate position - your house in East Anglia is less likely to be broken into then your flat in London - but those immigrants are still going to vote to steal from you and your government will happily comply.

It's basically the story of every abuser: Johnson and this damned war made them do it. Blacks lack free will; they rape, rob, and murder disproportionately because The Man makes them do it.

And this god has its priests. They are called...
Scientists. The overwhelming majority will only accept a naturalistic view for the existence of the universe. Others, perhaps wanting to seem wise in the eyes of the world, will posit that the Bible tells us who,,, science tells us how.

257 There's a whole sub-culture that deals with the symbology of what is hung where and what is placed where inside the White House. I mean, it is fairly subjective when you get right down to it, but some take it very seriously and claim things I doubt can be backed up with facts.
