The Morning Report - 6/17/22

Good morning, kids. The weekend is here and just to set the table, as it were, compare and contrast these two links.

First up, we have the not as lovable as Tater, yet equally grating pinhead Chris Hayes.

Hayes interviewed “The Present Age” newsletter writer Parker Molloy about conservative media’s focus on gay and transgender people as well as drag queens. Molloy claimed that right-wing people are saying that “LGBTQ people are a threat to be around children” by passing legislation to ban kids from attending drag queen events and banning classroom discussion about sexual orientation and gender identity in early elementary school.

“The idea that introducing your child to any example of deviation from gender norms is child abuse, like, per se, right, that that itself [is child abuse]. That is an extreme, disgusting and a frankly kind of violent idea because it embeds a notion of child abuse,” Hayes said.

You got that? Chris Hayes declares that merely voicing opposition to drag queen story hour is "violent." No room to debate or discuss or delve into what societal "norms" are, which he himself brings up. No. To oppose this is violent. Period end of story.

Now dig this:

A person driving a Volkswagen Jetta slammed into a store selling pro-Trump merchandise in Easton, Massachusetts, on Thursday afternoon, prompting an investigation from local law enforcement officials. . .

. . . A different local news station reported that the police “took the driver into custody and towed the car from the store.” “Just before he did that, there was a little boy with his mother shopping right in that spot,” Keith Lambert, the store’s owner, told a local news station. “The clerk was about to go to the bathroom and he would’ve gotten hit.”

. . . Alleged photos of the vehicle show at least one anti-Trump bumper sticker on it that features a picture of Trump, and reads, “Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.”

I have no way to reach Chris Hayes to comment on this but no doubt he'd describe it as a mostly peaceful car crash, and completely understandable given the circumstances. Meh, for me to even bring it up is the real act of violence, right Chris? I swear, I'd be rolling on the floor laughing my ass off were it not for my head exploding. With that, welcome to the upside-down world/mirror universe where we are through the glass, and darkly.

That bumper sticker. Ho. Lee Fook. Embroider it on a sampler and hang it next to Home Sweet Home. I can't even put into words the insane level of irony of that situation. Sheer mind-numbed cluelessness and projection, just like those who believe the J-6 committee is "protecting our precious democracy" (*vomits) from evil insurrectionists, or that turning scores of American cities into Dresden is peaceful, justified protest, or that a guy in a bikini is a woman (despite apparently no one knowing the definition of that word) and on and on and on.

But it's now gone beyond merely crazy. It's dangerous. The Democrat-Left's academia and media propaganda complex has so degraded the cognitive reasoning of at least two generations of Americans with the most absurd lies about their country, their family, their society and now themselves that they are at a point where they can and are being weaponized to commit atrocities.

Uvalde, TX is one example of a brain so warped and twisted that it lashed out in a burst of uncontrolled mass murder. On the other hand, we have BLM, Antifa and now this "Jane's Revenge" whose rage and anger are being intentionally used and directed as weapons of mass political terrorism and intimidation.

Not to worry though. The FBI is on the case, thank goodness (*vomits):

More than 20 pregnancy resource centers and offices of pro-life groups have been attacked or vandalized since the leak of a draft Supreme Court opinion indicating that the justices are likely to overturn Roe v. Wade, according to Catholic Vote.

The militant abortion group Jane’s Revenge has claimed responsibility for a slew of these attacks, and this week allegedly issued a radical missive promising to continue violent attacks on pro-life clinics and organizations.

In response to inquiries regarding the alleged Jane’s Revenge “communique,” the FBI said Thursday evening that while it would not comment on specific groups, the bureau is “investigating a series of attacks and threats targeting pregnancy resource centers and faith-based organizations across the country.”

“The FBI takes all threats seriously and we continue to work closely with our law enforcement partners and will remain vigilant to protect our communities,” the bureau told The Daily Wire. “We would like to remind members of the public that if they observe anything suspicious or have information about potential threats to report it to law enforcement immediately, call their local FBI field office, or submit a tip to tips.fbi.gov.”

Yeah, they'll get right on that. As soon as they can destroy the evidence that links them to the DNC, George Soros, Barack Obama or whoever. Meanwhile, you can bet your ass the FBI is sparing no expense and devoting full manpower on this crucially important case:

The FBI is reportedly investigating a Florida woman who found Ashley Biden’s diary in a rental home and sold it to a Right-wing investigative group.

A source close to the investigation told the Daily Mail that Aimee Harris is under investigation for allegedly selling Biden’s diary to Project Veritas for $40,000 in 2020. Harris found the diary under a mattress while staying in a house rented from a friend in Florida several weeks after Biden stayed there. . .

. . . Harris discovered Biden’s diary. In August, she contacted Robert Kurlander, a friend and convicted money-launderer, about the diary and the two reportedly decided to try and sell it. The diary later reportedly made an appearance at a GOP fundraiser in Jupiter, Florida, and was showed off to attendees.

Project Veritas became aware of the diary, and a week after the fundraiser, Harris and Kurlander flew to Washington, D.C., to meet with Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe. While no deal for the diary was struck at the time, Project Veritas later reportedly agreed to purchase the diary for $40,000.

. . . Project Veritas is facing federal scrutiny for its role in the diary fiasco. FBI agents raided the residences of O’Keefe and two others who were working for Project Veritas at the time. The bureau began investigating the group for its role in allegedly stealing the diary.

No stone left unturned. First Stoner Son of president Sponge Brain Shits Pants? Not so much. The republic is in good hands, my friends. Hallelujah.

Projection ain't just a river in Egypt. These "true believers" are serious as a heart attack as this essay from the estimable David Horowitz will remind us.

The crisis currently facing our nation is a crisis of faith – faith in the Constitution that has shaped our destiny, faith in the rule of law, and faith in the principle of equality before the law. The root cause of the lawlessness that is consuming our country is the monopoly of the executive power in Washington by a political party that has fallen under the control of the radical Left. This Left describes itself as “progressive,” but is focused on the goal of “re-imagining” American institutions and principles, in other words of dismantling the constitutional order that created the prosperity and freedoms that have shaped this country since its beginnings.

Having been born into this political Left and then rejected it, I have acquired an intimate perspective on its nature, and the threat it poses to the American future, which is grave. I was raised by Communists who always referred to themselves as “progressives,” and were sworn enemies of America and its institutions, as was I. We saw ourselves as warriors for social justice, acting on the “right side” of history.

We could not have been more mistaken. The “moral arc” of history is not “bent towards justice,” as progressives like to say. If it were, the 20th Century would be the most enlightened instead of the scene of the greatest atrocities and oppressions on human record. Worse yet, for this progressive myth, these atrocities and oppressions were perpetrated by progressives in the name of “social justice”. . .

. . . On my way out of the Left, I spent several years re-thinking what I had believed, and trying to understand the nature of the cause that I had served. Perhaps, my most profound and certainly most disturbing conclusion was that revolutionaries were by nature – and of necessity – criminals, who would routinely lie and break laws to achieve their ends. Every radical who believed in a “revolution” or a “re-imagining” of society from the ground up, every progressive who believed in a “fundamental transformation of America” as Barack Obama described his own agenda on the eve of his 2008 election, was a criminal waiting to strike. . .

. . . Before President Obama – a constitutional law professor – decided to break America’s immigration laws and grant 800,000 illegals resident status, he admitted to his fellow Americans on 22 public occasions that he had no constitutional authority to do so – none. Creating such an amnesty by executive order was illegal and unconstitutional. And he knew it. But he did it anyway because to him and his party, violating the fundamental law of the land was justified because the system that had created the law was oppressive and unjust – racist. In committing this crime against the nation he led, Obama was guided by a radical ideology that justified the illegal means as a victory for “social justice”. . .

. . . As a former radical I understood how high the stakes had become with Obama’s election. Since the Right was defending America’s freedoms while the Left was paying lip-service to patriotic pieties but intending nothing less than the destruction of constitutional order, I also understood that the rhetorical disparity between the two factions posed a grave threat to America’s future. . .

. . . Democrats regard the criminal riots that took place in the summer of 2020, as social justice. The riots cost $2 billion in property damage, killed scores of people and eventually thousands as their “De-Fund the Police” campaign triggered a record crime wave in America’s major cities. Democrats regard criminal lawlessness and mayhem as understandable responses to what they perceive as “social injustice” – courts and the law be damned. To them, mass lootings are “reparations,” and individual robberies and thefts a socialist redistribution of wealth. If you are in a battle of words – which is the nature of political warfare – and you are calling your enemies “liberals,” portraying them as not really understanding the gravity of what they are doing, while they are calling you “white supremacists” and “Nazis,” you are losing the war.

It's a long read but well worth your time. While it does shed light on my observations about Leftist cognitive dissonance, projection, Dunning-Kruger-ism, etc. as well as the dangerous situation we are in, Horowitz's call to take back the language, though important, I think might be too little and too late. I think we are now way past the point insofar as waging rhetorical war and debate. At least with them. Where it is valuable is in dealing with reasonable folks who are now fully aware of the catastrophe of Democrat-Leftist policies on their lives.

If we can secure the instrumentalities of government and most crucially education for a period of quite a number of years or even decades, we must somehow deprogram as much as half the nation. As for the mass of true believers that will no doubt still remain, they must be prevented from ever coming anywhere near even the lowest levels of power and influence.

Have a good weekend.
