The Morning Report 8/20/18
Good morning kids. Another Monday and we're loaded up with link-fu so let's commence. First up, the absolutely justified revocation of John Brennan's security clearance is turning into yet another political victory for the President, as is evidenced by both the jerk's own walking back of his anti-Trump rhetoric probably at the urging of his fellow Deep Staters, such as James Clapper who is openly telling him to cool it on the State-run house organs. That didn't stop Michael Hayden from jumping on the self-righteous self-serving fake hero bandwagon to taunt the President into revoking his clearance. Which leads to two somewhat cromulent points; a) unless administrations are transitioning at a time of war or other national security situation, why does any former government official in those capacities get to retain security clearance after they leave the service? As is now clearly and painfully evident, those within the Deep State who are hell bent on seeing its preservation and the destruction of this President and all who support him will use their power and position and subvert the tools they are entrusted with in defense of the realm for political purposes and the accretion of power. That's a rather alarming, yet obvious, conclusion given the external threats posed by the rise of global Islamic totalitarian expansionism, petty tyrants flexing their muscles and for me the number one threat to America for the foreseeable future, the People's Republic of China (see a couple of links below).
That said, the President completely debunks the myth that revoking high level security clearances is a political move to silence free speech and dissent; in fact it does just the opposite since having that clearance in a sane and logical world means you are supposed to keep your yap shut. Not having one gives you the freedom to shoot your mouth off (without revealing state secrets) whenever and however you like. Anyway, Brennan has succeeded in scoring an own goal and looking like even more of an ass to an ever-widening group of people.
In Mewler-Gate news, the big story is that the White House counsel was allowed to be interviewed by Mueller and company. By all accounts nothing was revealed and, despite desperate hoping against hope by the Left, did not implicate the President in anything. That said, why allow him to be exposed to a process crime sting? Meh. They're desperate; they're praying for a Manafort conviction and of course if by chance he is acquitted you bet your ass the judge will be smeared as being in Putin's pocket. Anyway, we're 10 or so weeks from the Midterms when all of this will come to a head, one way or another.
Speaking of politics, after getting the rhetorical tar beaten out of him, Andrew Cuomo is back for more, spewing a litany of charges against Republicans and conservatives that he and the Democrat-Left have been wholly guilty of since the founding of the nation. And still are. Plus, we have several links that anecdotally debunk the notion of a blue wave coming in November. Meanwhile, the essentially Marxist Democrat Farm Labor Party in Minnesota is standing by he-man woman-hater Keith Ellison, despite the charges that he physically and emotionally abused his ex-girlfriend. I guess if you rub the pussy-hat it turns into a burqa with no eye slits, ja? And bipedal turd Alcee Hastings burped up that it would be catastrophic if Trump were drowning... and someone saved him. Where else but America can a judge who was impeached for taking bribes come back and become a 25-year congressman? Maybe Cuomo's got something; how can America be that great if cheap-suited, race-baiting dimwit goniffs like Hastings can serve in Congress? Meanwhile, the Feds have posted a reward for info leading to the capture of some punk who threatened the President. Meh, Hastings, Durbin, Waters, Booker et al are unindicted co-conspirators in my estimation.
Big news on the amnesty front; the hack-in-black has reversed himself and ruled that the Feds do not have to expand the illegal DACA program, the Media is now oddly silent since learning that the illegal alien apprehended and set to be repatriated away from his poor preggo wife is in fact wanted for murder. And of course, contra Cuomo, if we suck so badly why are foreigners flocking here by the millions? I can see the Arnold Horshack reaction through my USB.
Let's go to the economy where in something truly remarkable which will never be seen in the propaganda organs, US Steel has announced a $750 million investment in plant expansion at the Gary, IN facility and is crediting PDT's tariffs, 401(k)s are becoming great again, Chelsea Hubbel's aborting our way to prosperity is a sick joke, Fauxcahontas' plan to communize the American economy would be a disaster and a good essay on the myth of the Swedish socialist miracle, the one your libbo friends always crow about whilst avoiding Cuba, North Korea, Zimbabwe, Venezuela, Nicaragua...
Quite a good assortment of links on fake news fakery and censorship, as well as good news on the gun front, where Louisiana is going after corporations restricting gun rights, Washington state's latest gun-grab initiative is tossed from the ballot and concealed carry permits are skyrocketing.
I mentioned the threat from the Chi-Coms and while they are arming up everywhere they still have problems developing indigenous technology that can compete with ours, as evidenced by the jet engine link. Then again, whatever they can't steal with spies here (Feinstein) they are given on a silver platter by crooked stooges (the Clintons and Loral Space). Meanwhile, they are in our schools bigly and also in bed with Google et al. Thank G-d Trump is president is all I can say.
From hither and yon, the Catholic church sex abuse scandal needs to be addressed and the Bishop of Madison Wisconsin of all places puts the blame on the culture of homosexuality. I expect his home to be firebombed at any moment for that one. Michelle Wolf's sick abortion show gets canned by Netflix, Al Sharpton beclowns himself yet again, Mike Lindell stands by the President, the Left owns the Brit grooming gang and Tommy Robinson atrocities and, considering the Chi-Com school infiltration, a sobering piece on why a population of ignoramuses is the perfect opportunity for Leftism.
Anyway, links from around the world, across the nation and up your street. Have a better one and remain blessed.
