The Morning Report 2/21/18

Good morning kids. Bit of a format tweak to make it a bit easier to peruse the links. In any case we start off with the continuing politicization of last week's Florida school shooting. Despite the President's coming out and announcing support on a ban of "bump stocks" and other regulatory fixes (or concessions, depending upon your perspective) the debate should be about the mental health of the perpetrator, and not on the instrument employed in the act. Last week, the President seemed to be driving the messaging on this, considering the canned outrage about this from the usual quarters.

And as we peel away the onion, going beyond the mental health of the shooter the crux of the issue is what caused his mental state to begin with? Well, a favorite rhetorical trick that the Left employs is to always blame society at large for failing to prevent this and/or causing the problem in the first place. You know, for once the Left is absolutely 100% correct. Society did cause this; that is, the society created by the Left starting in the early 1960s. More accurately, the rot they foisted on us by destroying the family, ethics, Judeo-Christian morality, sexual norms, our culture and history, ethnic balkanization, the war on manhood, and on and on and on in their bid to take over the ruins for their own end. I cannot tell you what the particular set of circumstances was that drove this individual to do what he did, but if the backgrounds of all the shooters were compared, it's a fair bet that the common denominators would point universally to what I outlined above.

But sadly, that will never happen because the terrible secret of Leftist societal cancer can never be revealed. But they and their useful idiots, which sadly now include the immature and moldable minds of traumatized youth, are to be used to confiscate the only means with which we as a people can defend ourselves from the tyranny they so desperately want to impose on us. Circling back, I had hoped the President would continue to flip the narrative on this issue, considering how the FBI had been so obsessed with bringing him down rather than preventing this tragedy, which as we have learned they could and should have. Yes, it's not the argument I'm making but it does flip the narrative and gives an opening.

And speaking of the FBI, the entire collusion narrative has all but died but that will not deter Mueller from plodding along, since this shit-show is only to provide the Democrats cover and fake talking points through the midterms and beyond. As I have stated and as is obvious, they are not going to shut any of this down. Their mission is to destroy Trump, reverse the gains made over the past year, and make sure the march to destroy the last vestiges of America as founded starts up again unimpeded - forever. We not only dodged a bullet in 2016 but it was a major shock to the system. 2018 is going to be for all the marbles.

Speaking of the midterms, despite all the gloom and doom from the pollsters and cuck-servatives, the Dems are in disarray both financially and policy-wise, especially now that the Tax Cuts are boosting the economy. Palsi Pelosi almost choked on her dentures when a heckler threw her wealth in her face. Also, this Conor Lamb joker continues to step on his wee-wee by mimicking Palsi's "crumbs" attack on the Tax Plan. Meanwhile, the GOP, despite its best efforts to lose raked in some record lucre this past January.

A few interesting links about policy stuff; Obamacare continues to suffer the death of a thousand cuts, PDT's energy policy is coming up aces, thoughts on infrastructure funding and perhaps the implosion of the hated and destructive CFPB. Lastly, Nikki Haley continues to wield a blowtorch at the UN, a funny video on Israeli brutality and a palate cleanser about Jewish humor suggested to me from a commenter whose name I have forgotten.

Anyway, links from around the world, across the nation and up your street. Have a better one and remain blessed.
