The Morning Report — 8/ 14 /26

Good morning kids. Well let's dive right in shall we. Riffing off of my puzzlement as CBD and I pondered, or mostly yammered on about on the latest episode of the podcast (linked here as well as in the sidebar and the popular platforms listed at the bottom of this post )

What does the loss, or more likely the theft by the Democrat Party of Francesca Hong in the Wisconsin last Tuesday's Wisconsin gubernatorial primary really indicate both there and really nationally?

What I can't figure out is, are the frightening polls including by our wonderful friends at the Heartland Institute
really reflective of a national trend towards socialism, but if so then why is the Democrat Party establishment so desperate to put a muzzle on freaks like EL Sayed, Talarico and of course Hong and all the rest.

And so with that as a set-up, there's this piece...

Are there Republicans who’ve doctored their resumes? Sure. But faking your past, or your views, or the sound of your voice seems to be a job requirement for Democrat politicians these days.
The Talarico campaign distanced itself from these folks after their cover was blown. But everything about Talarico is as fake, from his Christianity to his barbecue photo op.
Around the same time, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, last seen trying out a fake southern accent at an event in Memphis, was trying to pretend that she’s not a crazy leftist despite being a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, which wants to defund the military, close prisons, open the borders, eliminate the Senate, the presidency and the Supreme Court, and nationalize various industries.
When ABC News’ Jonathan Karl asked about her past statements, she laughed that “woke 1 was crazy,” and blamed COVID because “I think that, you know, during lockdown, of course, rhetoric in that time is not rhetoric that we would use today.” . . .Our best guess is that Democrats are more likely than Republicans to do this because for most Democrats, their only interest is getting and keeping government power. They love government and want to control its every lever. And if that means pretending to be a normie for the rube voters, so be it.
But, shucks, whadda we know? We’re just a buncha gosh-darn banjo-pickin’ hillbillies from yonder flyover country.

Sure the Democrats either outright lie about their true intentions or else do their best to cover them up. To me it's another puzzler, do the Democrats really think they can bamboozle a significant portion of normal America into voting for them? But lest we forget, anyone with eyes to see and more than two functioning brain cells could plainly see the dangerous fraud that was Barack Obama and yet there he was in 2008 and then again in 2012 winning the presidency and the fuse was lit. As CBD noted on the podcast, horrid as the purple-lipped closet-queen America-hating thug was and still is, he was slick and polished enough to really fake it all the way. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens both this coming November and then two years after that to see if Trump and the MAGA movement are just speed bumps on our inevitable road to hell or if they are please God a real course correction back to American restoration.

Until then we'll be enduring this depravity.

The National World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C., was vandalized Thursday with red graffiti reading “Clean Hands Dirty $,” while soap dumped into its fountain filled the memorial with bubbles.
Authorities blocked off the fountain Thursday afternoon as U.S. Park Police investigated the vandalism. The Interior Department called the incident an “utter disgrace” and vowed to find whoever is responsible.
“The World War II Memorial is a sacred place to honor the service of our members of the Armed Forces and the over 400,000 Americans who gave the ultimate sacrifice in WWII,” the department said. “The vandalism that occurred is an utter disgrace and will not be tolerated.”

Were I a betting man, I'd lay odds that the piece(s) of shit that did this are registered Democrats or full on DSA freakazoids. He/She/It deserves being bull-whipped on live television preferably by any WW2 veterans of which I'm sure there'd be volunteers out the wahzoo.

And then, speaking of fakers and takers, there's this horrendous outburst for which there is no rational excuse.

Curtis Sliwa on Thursday told relatives of 9/11 victims who want New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani kept away from this year’s Ground Zero commemoration to “stop being sore losers,” arguing that they should respect the office even if they disagree with the person holding it.
“He’s the mayor. Stop being sore losers!” Sliwa told reporters Thursday. “You knew this is Zohran Mamdani. He was never a fake, phony, fraudulent, fugazi like a lot of politicians. He told you who he was.”

Yes, asshole, he told us who he was and what he said and what he is utterly underscores justification of his being barred from within 10,000 light years of Ground Zero Forever.

Curtis Sliwa's logic would allow for a furlough from prison and a limousine ride to the 9/11 ceremony for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. Sliwa should only die, be cremated and his ashes dumped in the Marianas Trench next to Bin Laden. Seems appropriate.

I lost an old schoolmate and was nearly a victim myself that day, you Scumbag.

On these and all the rest of it, I nevertheless bid you all to have a great weekend!

This decision aligns with BRICS’ broader goal of reducing dependence on the U.S. dollar. Iran’s membership could provide the country with alternative financial channels as the country continues to operate under sanctions imposed by the United States amid the ongoing Iran war. Iran’s decision to join the NDB is part of a broader effort to shift towards a multipolar economic order. This move also shows how Iran has aligned with China and Russia economically, not just militarily and politically.

The polls were designed to influence the vote, nothing more, nothing less. By showing "their" candidate 20+ points ahead they hoped to keep moderate democrats at home for the primary knowing the vast majority of them will pull the level in november for the democrat candidate.

48 It's not a *trend* toward anything. It's just Millennials. Their preference is for the furthest Left candidates and policies they can get. They are fanatics. They are already as far Left as it's possible to be, and are *dragging* the country behind them.

When Obama's brand of Leftism was the most potent brew on offer, they chose that. Now their own cohort is growing into power as the boomers and silents die off, so it's getting more and more potent.

Soon, a huge number of those older people will die off, leaving only the small cohort of Xers, who will not have the numbers to matter in context of the much larger Millennial generation.

Everything goes full tilt at that point, because Millennials will be able to completely actualize their politics and give us the full Mangione. That's when the DSA types drop the "D" pretense altogether, and say "we're the vanguard of the woke folk, all hail the Party and its Maximum Thought Leader, Oliver Logan al-Amriki."

All models are wrong. Some models are useful.
This technology change has come upon us so suddenly our attitudes haven't adjusted. Polls were the go-to indicator for decades and decades.
In fact, you couldn't get your name on a ballot without achieving some threshold in a poll somewhere.
The world has changed. Polls are now irrelevant.

54 New data shared with Senate GOP members suggest that healthcare, not voter integrity, is the big winner for Republicans.

"New Data"—No sources of this "New Data"™ are cited, which means it was pulled out of some politician's ass who is trying to flee the 90% demand for the SAVE America Act.

"Healthcare" is always an issue, if the issue is: How can we steal even more money and obtain more power in Babylon DC

Why? Because no one on planet earth can define "healthcare". Its one of the most eisegeted words used today (along with "Racism")

The other clue: "too much money is going through the insurance companies"
Translation: Babylon DC demands a bigger cut.

So instead of SAVE America Act, we are supposed to embrace even more government takeover of one-sixth the total economy.

The issues with the Reflecting Pool were, IMO, both poor quality work and vandalization.

Of course, they imagine that the government will give their socialist baby some of the loot but that's just because they're stupid, as well as greedy.

I believe that this is yet another sign that, even when the numbers come from people who are our allies, polling is now worthless except as a propaganda tool (which is it keeps being done)
The problem is not just bias of the pollster; the problem is that the entire mathematical underpinnings of polling is no better than phrenology or divining chicken entrails. It’s like expecting pinpoint accuracy to come from reading a horoscope.

117 As to the specific Heartland study findings, when restated they are not very surprising:

“58% of likely voters aged 18-39 support government-run grocery stores in every town in America.” 58% of those 18-39 want stuff that is cheap or free and haven’t thought about it any more deeply than that.

“62% of likely voters aged 18-39 said they would support more government housing and nationwide rent freeze.” Ditto.

“44% think their economic future and personal happiness will be worse than their parents, only 22% believe it will be better.”

44% have seen the way things have gone the last 20 years and drawn a rational conclusion. It’s the job of any who wish to lead to convince them that this trend can be reversed. Very few republicans “get” this simple fact.

127 It might not sit well with some, but Mamdani's appearance at the 9-11 memorial might be just the image some need to see. Especially if he runs his mouth.

Why?

Because some of the people who put him in office might be there. Because if he does run his mouth you know what he'll likely say. And if it's anywhere as awful as some think, the media will have to defend it. Or not.

Some people just don't get it until it hits them in the face. If Mamdani's appearance at a 9-11 memorial opens some eyes....

129 Representative Brandon Gill (R-TX), whose 26th District saw a 217 percent rise in filings, remarked that the H-1B program is “an abomination that is suppressing American wages, taking American jobs, and culturally erasing American communities. It should be abolished.”

--

Big business (and their lobbyists that work Congress over to get the desired result) couldn't care less about America. As long as they can make money by paying less in wages, that's where their loyalty lies. It's disgusting.

In reading Ron Chernow's Washington, during the Revolutionary War, Washington would be apoplectic at the big farmers and others selling their wares to the British, not because they were Loyalists, but to make a boatload of money. Who cares if the Continental Army had no provisions and barely any money to survive and just might lose the war because of it. All they cared about was the money they could make, even to the detriment of the patriots. Some things never change.

ANY poll showing him within a country mile of Paxton is full of shit and just more of the theft attempt of every f*cking election of this country.

139 I don’t think polls move public opinion the way they used to, but they have long been used for that. It’s a pseudo-justification for doing things nobody wants, or not doing things everyone wants. People are herd animals, and don’t wish to be thought of as an outlier. Bogus polls are used as fodder for propaganda, part of the rhetoric. “Polls show 85% of Americans are in favor of blah blah blah, what’s wrong with you?” You must be some sort of monster, you see. It’s been very effective for a long time. “Well, everyone must want this…” Rinse, lather, repeat. You get people to stand down, and disengage.

--------

I've tried my best to explain my perspective from the start...

It's WWF style infighting. The DNC gets to push hard toward socialism without having to completely own it. Maybe in case the push goes tits up, but I think more because they have their candidate picked and it will be a "bridge" candidate that will satisfy the establishment, the normies (by seeming safe), and the DSA who will get some big wins along the way.

Like maybe the DSA get to knock Kamala or Newsom out in some showy WAY. They feel they are making their mark. This is how I expect it to go.

Always remember the Left plans 3 to 5 years in advance. They have the media, intelligence agencies, and half or more of the opposing party. This "popular" move toward socialism is a yuge psy op, not unlike covid, blm, metoo. It's designed to fool even people like us.

Exactly this. It’s a psy-op. There’s an interesting perversion of this technique used in business and academia. Originally it was developed by the Rand Corporation as a method of refining expert opinion.

It’s called the “Delphi Technique” for dealing with contentious issues in group settings. Local governments use it a lot, and you’ll see it at fake “Town Halls” sometimes. Generally anytime they start talking about neutral “Facilitators” being brought in, or breaking down everyone into smaller groups.

187 It looks to me like they are trying to harness the energy of the insane DSA and move the country as far left as possible as quickly as possible while dispensing in some fashion with the "old" Democrat Party. The one Trump beat for years like a rented mule.

One day in the next year or so we are going to wake up in a new world, and not even know what happened. Republicans will be the old tired eatablishment. Democrats will be the "working" (har) man. All the cultural and psychological seeds are being sown for it.

I keep saying (though I wouldn't bet) I think we are headed toward a male nominee for the Demorats. Women seem to be being beaten back hard, suffering a lot of cultural blows at once, that all seem disparate. Could just be "zeitgeist" driving those things but I don't think so.

Tea leaves have been read. Trump's drive toward masculine leadership, mostly the day he got shot, put paid to their First Woman bs. This is now convenient for the Left who are at present kissing up to their new friends in Islam. The Left will always push - and they will step on anyone to do it. And they will lie, so women won't even know it's being done to them.

197 It’s pretty easy. If Republican voters show up in November, they will win.

If they don’t, we lose.

There is only one way to beat their fraud machine, and Trump exposed it. Show up in large enough numbers that a win for the other side is statistically impossible. It’s math.

There is also a dearth of responses to people who have legitimate concerns. You cannot win only talking about how bad the other guy is. Even of that is the honest truth. People don’t seem to understand just how bad things will be under Democrat rule. It wasn’t that long ago they were in charge. We are still trying to drag ourselves out of the malaise they created. Going back will only make things worse.

We’ve become terrible at making cogent, understandable arguments to people about the policies we have. X and tv sound bites are no replacement for speaking with people directly.

Stop being lazy cowards.

217 I saw this elsewhere and thought it worth posting here. This is the flipside of the revelation that the SPLC was secretly funding purported Right Wing Hate Groups.

Examples of government action are the purported kidnapping of Gretchen Whitmer. False flag ops.

"In April 2009, Obama's Department of Homeland Security assessment warned of a rise in right-wing extremism fueled by the election of the first Black president. An internal intelligence memo titled "Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment" was distributed to law enforcement. The memo suggested that disgruntled returning military veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan would be recruited by right wing extremists to become political assassins.
It was, of course, all a lie. There were no violent right wing extremists. The SPLC had to create their own by funding nut jobs to do their dirty work and blame it on Republicans.
Racial hatred is the only lasting impact of the Obama administration."

We were perfectly and completely indoctrinated in a way that wasn't possible before or since. We're the best they can ever do, vis-a-vis the New Soviet Man.

For the next several decades, we're the majority.

Far-left Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, who has campaigned heavily on his credentials as a doctor and public-health official, is under fire over his time leading the Detroit Health Department, during which the city’s animal-control operation euthanized more than 4,000 dogs and cats.

According to records obtained by the Daily Mail, nearly 4,680 dogs and cats were put down by Detroit Animal Care and Control between 2015 and 2017 while El-Sayed served as executive director and health officer.

In 2015 alone, the facility killed 1,988 dogs and 272 cats, accounting for more than a quarter of all dogs euthanized in the county that year.

I need to call up a really happy playlist on my phone and take a long drive, perhaps out to Cape Ann. The last thing I should be doing is drinking myself into a coma, which I am very likely to do if I don't find a distraction.

267 My working guess - and it is ONLY a guess because usually Democrats go much further and surprise me - plus it's hard to predict things anyway.

R's hold both, Jingleheimer Sayed "wins", and the "story" becomes how the DSA is "changing" things, the youth are now rock solid commies, everyone is unhappy, and it can no longer be ignored.

The failure of the D establishment to retake the houses can fuel the next two years of misery and the next phase of the story. Trump will have something to say about all of this but he will hide his time.

273 179 Polls are commissioned by people with an agenda... a narrative they'd like to push. The responders are likely targeted to elicit a preferred response. Polls are designed to influence how we feel, look at or interpret a candidate or topic. We are the targets people want to influence. Influence can distort reality.

Don't be a target.

Posted by: Martini Farmer at August 14, 2026 08:40 AM (2Cry5)

Every politician, political party, corporation, etc., that wants to get a fairly accurate targeted audience perception of candidates, products, corporate reputation, etc, commissions and purchases private polls. Or has it's own internal polling operation. Both types run by personnel with proven track-records of utility and accuracy of results. Hillary's 2016 private polling was famously inaccurate. That's why we've never since heard of her now-infamous campaign manager, Robby Mook.

Publicly-released poll results by 'pros' are worth what the public pays for them. Nothing.

10x a day I'm getting ads against OH Senate candidate Husted - he slashed Medicare so he can give tax cuts to Billionaires, he took money from Epstein (well, Wexner, close enough) and voted against releasing the Epstein files. This will work on some voters.

278 People are frustrated with the economy. I get that. It’s taking a long time to rid ourselves of the economic mess Democrats left behind. The massive spending, food inflation and ridiculous amount of government job creation nearly killed us.

But the answer isn’t to go back to that. It’s counterintuitive. That’s why I don’t believe any of the polls that state people trust Denton the economy. You have to be a deep space alien not to know what’s happened since Biden and Democrats took over.

But banded together it can be decisive. The Left has had an advantage of this with identity politics.

295 >>I'm still unsure if it's even POSSIBLE.

Remember that one time years ago you got drunk, and the hangover lasted for a week. The one where you promised yourself you would never drink again? That.

I don’t believe people understand just how much damage Democrats did to the economy. They flooded the country with money that wasn’t productive and used Covid as their excuse. It turned every economic incentive upside down and beat the productive sector with a lead pipe.

Think about the macro cycle associated with that paradigm. You steal money from taxpayers at confiscatory rates. You hand it out to people who don’t produce anything. Almost zero economic payback. Worse, it becomes inflationary as the people you hand it out to spend that largess on everything and distort the market. Add to that millions of illegal immigrants who produce almost zero economic activity getting huge taxpayer funded handouts. That undermines all our social welfare programs and makes them fiscally unsound. They also distorted (read inflated) the cost of everything from housing and food to medical care. There isn’t even enough room for me to continue, but you get the point. Two years ain’t enough.

Not going to get on the Sliwa Hate Train. Whatever you think of his tendency for self-promotion (like EVERY public figure), the man has bled NYC asphalt his entire life.

When he asserts that New York knew what it was getting with the deviant currently occupying Gracie Mansion, he's not wrong.
