The Morning Report - 10/25/18

Good morning kids. Wow. Less than two weeks to go to the Midterms and surprise, surprise! Multiple bomb threats aimed at key Democrat leaders and media outlets yesterday. It's kind of funny really. Not ha-ha funny but just blood-pressure-raising funny; after dozens of violent incidents including a mass assassination attempt on GOP lawmakers, assaults, harassment, intimidation, incitement and hate speech aimed not just at political leaders on the right but average citizens - all of which have been ignored, excused or even justified by the alleged responsible leadership of the aforementioned - now those on the receiving end are taking all of it with dead seriousness. Like I said, funny.

Immediately upon hearing the news, President Trump, GOP leaders, administration officials, members of the conservative punditry and others condemned the incidents and called for unity and peaceful resolution of differences via the ballot box and civil discourse. And the response from the top all the way down was a resounding and immediate "go fuck yourself." The cherry on the top was the instantaneous blaming of this climate of hate, fear and violence on the actual victims. The word chutzpah, in a language as rich and powerful in meaning and emotion as Yiddish, doesn't even begin to capture the utter gall with which that reaction has stirred. After listing just a brief litany of the threats and violence perpetrated exclusively by Leftists and their political leadership loudly and openly, Daniel Greenfield goes on to say:

The media called this "activism." It denounced Republicans for warning of "angry mobs." And now the very same media has suddenly decided that threatening and assaulting people whose politics you disagree with is wrong. As long as the political figures being assaulted are Democrats.
But it doesn't work that way. Democrats and their media allies have sanctioned violence against Republicans. They've defended harassment and even assaults as activism. They have embraced and celebrated hate groups. The mob culture they have brought forth is fundamentally changing the rules of American politics. The alleged bombs should open a dialogue about the degree to which violence has become the currency of our politics. But instead the media will offer up the same tired talking points that ignore the violence of its side, while pretending that the culture of political violence in the last two years began yesterday.

It did not. Once political terror is unleashed, it can't be controlled or compartmentalized. Leftists, who have written a bloody history of political terror from Europe to South America, from the Middle East and across Asia, and right back to America, ought to know that better than anyone else. The Left has made it its mission to destroy America. This is what destroying a country looks like.

Absolutely THIS x infinity. There are a couple of salient points to be made on this. First off, we're all human beings, prone to and at times driven by the same emotions. And considering the constant beatdown and otherization of average, normal tax-paying Americans by the Left which ramped up to eleventy-leven during the Kenya-Kona Blend 8-year Reign of Error and then went into ludicrous speed during the past 2 years, it wouldn't surprise me that some soul in a sea of 315 million would snap. In fact, it's kind of a miracle that it didn't happen already. Yes, gentle reader, I smell a big fat fucking rat with this bomb scare. But for the sake of argument, let us say that it is someone who is a Trump supporter or more accurately a Left hater. Is this representative of EVERY one of us? Well, to the other side, it most certainly is.

We have already condemned these incidents, not because it's politically expedient or advantageous but because as decent, normal, law-abiding human beings it's something you do instinctively as a matter of course, despite being surrounded on all sides by a sea of hate-filled NPC droogs and their overlords who seek to crush the life out of us. And even despite that, the President who puts up with the most disgusting, heinous garbage and vileness hurled on him and his family, offered an olive branch and he did so, again, not as a calculating move but out of a sense of trying to heal division and bring people together. And the reaction from Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi speaks volumes and is also quite revealing.

As I had said, I smell a rat. And despite the crude, almost cartoonish appearance of the devices and the way they were delivered, this is still a very serious crime. It should be treated as such and investigated thoroughly by the appropriate law enforcement agencies. And that would be the FBI... Ugh. In any case, we're not going to really know anything for a while and if this thing turns out to be buried like the Mandalay Bay massacre, that will tell you something. On a personal level, considering that this Midterm is so crucial to the Left in gaining enough power to seriously hamper the Trump agenda for the next two years, and that every attempt to sabotage him and his presidency for the past two years has failed miserably and in fact emboldened his support, I believe that they will stop at nothing. They've already used and abused our intelligence and law enforcement apparatuses to try and overthrow him. Something like this, as with the attempt Kavanaugh as a serial rapist and woman abuser, will allow them to paint our side as just as bad as they are and deflect the blame. It won't work. It must not be allowed to work, whether or not the party or parties in question are pro-Trump/anti-Left.

It's a shame that they themselves are responsible for shattering the trust Americans have had in what were some of its most revered institutions, regardless of whether that reverence was deserved or not (turns out not). All things considered, maybe that is a good thing in the long run. But no matter who did this, it is the Left that owns violence as an institutional and acceptable means of political gain 1,000 percent. Always have, always will.

And that brings us to the big story that the bomb scare was supposed to deflect from (I guess it did since it's halfway down the page here) which is the preplanned and premeditated invasion of migrants from Central America heading towards our southern border. The President, Secretary of State Pompeo and others in the administration have stated in no uncertain terms that no one from this group of what is now reportedly in excess of 14,000 will set foot on US soil, Short of deploying US troops across the entire border from the Gulf to the Pacific (and 15 miles deep into Mexico), I don't see how this is going to happen. As we and others have stated, and it is worth repeating, hitting Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador in the pocket book is one way to curb this, but that might not affect those already on route. But, as we've been screaming about since forever, cut off the incentive for coming here - citizenship and welfare - severely punish businesses knowingly employing illegal aliens, suspend asylum and ramp up deportation across the board. Lastly, find out who and what is behind this and punish them severely, be it home grown seditionists or foreign entities. This is tantamount to war so it's high time to treat it that way.

Moving to politics, Andrew Gillum is a goniffing, sick, lying Marxist (BIRM), Joe's Man-Chin is denying the accusations of abusing campaign funds, Wisconsin labor leaders back Scott Walker's opponent (shocking), Claire McAssKill's latest ad is comedy gold, Dem candidate Katie Porter backs reparations and other insane lefty garbage, and a few sobering essays on what is in store for us if Dems have their way (as if we didn't know).

On the international front, it looks like PDT has caved and let some of the financial pressure off of Iran (ugh), but the Chi-Coms have themselves caved to a US deadline of halting payments to the Farsis, more on China at perhaps a tipping point, Putin's Russia may be imploding, a look at their strategy vis a vis the US and Israel, the Chi-Coms are infesting the internet of things as a huge spying opportunity against us and gays are being attacked in Europe. Gee, why is that, wonder...

Domestically, PDT has signed a huge bipartisan opioid bill to combat the epidemic, Justice Kavanaugh has recused himself already on three cases, a second amendment story with a Kavanaugh angle to it, and the Dems are boycotting judicial nominee hearings again. Meh, just ram them home without the Dems there. Suck it.

Meanwhile, a group of satanist teens have been arrested before they can butcher and cannibalize some young kids, pro-life groups are sounding the alarm on using aborted baby parts in ghoulish experiments (paging Dr. Mengele and Sanger), Facebook censors pictures of infants and ultrasound images because they're "too graphic," Twitter says Roseanne bad Tom Arnold Good and NYU gets ready to celebrate Karl Marx's birthday.

From hither and yon, Kurt Schilling is not invited to throw out a pitch at the World Series (hmm I wonder why? sarc), a look at young eastern Europeans embrace of the right, Netflix is a freak show, the Nobel Peace Prize at last goes to someone worthy of it and finally, Humberto Fontova on the anniversary of JFK getting pwn3d in the Cuban Missile Crisis.

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