The Morning Report - 4/11/22

Good morning, kids. Start of a new week and Team Biden continues to furiously wag the Irish wolfhound's body with the teacup Yorkie's tail as more and more contents from Hunter Biden's laptop, you know the one that for 18 months everyone insisted was Russian disinformation but which the NY Times quietly the other day declared true, are revealed. While some of it is lurid and disgusting insofar as Hunter's perversions and deviancies are concerned, more and more of it centers around massive graft and corruption directly linked to "the Big Guy." While the media desperately attempts to feign ignorance as to the identity of that mystery man, everyone knows it can only be the demented pervert occupying the Oval Office.

So, with what's left of our southern border set to be completely erased at the end of next month, the economy nosediving into the ground, and the battle for the minds and now bodies of our children alarming more and more heretofore unaware parents heating up, Biden and the party that foisted him on us all because the orange-complected, nouveau-riche gavone with the comb-over from Queens said "pussy" and sent mean Tweets, is set for an historic wipeout at the polls come November.

Okay. The GOP probably retakes both chambers. Will that really stop a political party as well as the unelected massive bureaucracy and a corrupt rubber-stamp judiciary that carves their edicts into granite from doing whatever the hell it wants anyway? And this same GOP just allowed arguably the most incompetent, nakedly ideological anti-American judge to take a seat on the SCOTUS. That's on top of year after year of promising the moon and stabbing us in the back. Look what they did the last time they controlled Congress and the White House. Not that they controlled Trump, but you get my meaning. Electoral comeuppance only lasts so long and goes so far.

In any case, with the Chinese COVID fever maybe, just maybe, finally breaking and the Ukrainian "front" also dragging on and passing the political expediency expiration date, what's the Klain Kalorama Komintern to do in order to fire up its base? Aside from the surefire, can't miss tactic of hiring paid shills to bellow at you about how wonderful $8.00 a gallon gasoline, junk-tucking swimmers and a nuclear-armed Iran are, once more, it's time to go after gun owners.

“The Biden [junta] will come out with its long-awaited ghost gun rule — aimed at reining in privately made firearms without serial numbers that are increasingly cropping up at crime scenes — as soon as Monday,” the Associated Press reported. “The White House has also been weighing naming Steve Dettelbach, a former U.S. attorney from Ohio, to run the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, or ATF.”

Far-left activist David Hogg tweeted on Saturday that he would be in attendance for the event, writing, “I will be at the White House on Monday for an announcement from the president of the United States on what actions are being taken to reduce gun violence". . .

. . . The Biden [junta] released its proposed rule last May which “would modernize the definition of ‘frame or receiver’ and help close a regulatory loophole associated with the un-serialized privately made firearms that” the [junta] claimed “are increasingly being recovered at crime scenes across the country.”

Here's a thought; instead of going after law-abiding citizens, how about not releasing hardened violent felons or stop refusing to prosecute them in the first place? Of course, that's not even the issue, although insofar as creating violence and unrest in the streets is supposed to engender another crisis that they can't let go to waste, wherein the citizenry will demand curfews or even martial law. No, these so-called ghost guns are a dodge. They want to disarm the citizenry since the Second Amendment is for sure the absolute last firewall before totalitarian tyranny.

All things considered, I don't see this issue firing up their base. All it's going to do is pour that $8.00 a gallon gasoline on the bonfire that is the seething rage of average Americans who are fed up and sickened at the collapse of our society and way of life in just the past 15 months alone. The estimable Roger Kimball's essay starts off with the great news about the FBI-created entrapment scam centered around framing innocent, albeit loudmouthed people for supposedly plotting to kidnap Michigan despot Wretched Whitmer.

. . . it is clear that, at the moment, the primary enemy is anyone associated with MAGA populism. The definition of who belongs in that suspect class is ever shifting. A few months ago, parents who objected to local school boards endorsing the imperatives of BLM or this week’s version of sexual exoticism were on the suspect list. No less an authority than Merrick Garland, attorney general of the United States, called upon the entire police power of the state, from the FBI down to the local constabulary, to identify and ferret out “threats” and “hate speech” directed against school boards by parents angry at efforts to corrupt their children. 

The publicity surrounding that imbroglio, and the success of Glenn Youngkin in making it the prime issue in his successful bid to become governor of Virginia, pushed the ill-begotten initiative into the shadows. But its very existence shows how far the radicalized state is willing to go. Ordinary parents are “domestic extremists” because they object to the perversion of their children? Really? 

I think we are at a sort of crossroads. The acquittals of Messrs. Martin, Harris, and Caserta shine a light on one road out of the crossing. The activities of the deep state and its media publicity arm describe another, less sanguine path. The state, as Joe Biden memorably put it, has all the F15s and nukes. But the other side has the vast majority of people. No movement without recognized legitimacy can last. That’s the good news. The bad news is that “not lasting” can describe a lengthy and turbulent time.

Agreed that things are not going to change overnight. But there are things brewing out there that will be where the real course correction comes from, or has a chance to come from. Stay angry. And engaged.
