The Morning Report — 3/4/24

Good morning, kids. Congratulations to Tricky Haley for winning the GOP DC primary. Finally, we can all breathe a sigh of relief that the nation is saved. Unfortunately, the nation that she and her backers are on a quest to save is not the United States of America, but a mirror universe zombified undead version of what it once was. Actually, can there be any more stark contrast between our nation and its capital, in terms of populace as well as purpose?

A vast, centralized, virtually unaccountable, unelected bureaucracy that issues diktats whenever the kabuki/bukkake theater of a legislative branch can't pass wildly unpopular, society-changing laws, or when a Democrat administration (legitimate or otherwise as with the Biden junta) issues blatantly unconstitutional executive orders, or the even rarer occasions that a mostly corrupt and unpredictable Supreme Court cannot (and mostly will not) rein any or all of them in when they ignore the document they swore on a Bible (or perhaps in the not too distant future a soiled copy of Mandate) to uphold.

It's no coincidence that the majority of the wealthiest counties in America surround the District of Columbia. Ditto much of the kangaroo court activity being hurled at Donald Trump. DC is not so much a swamp as it is a multi-tentacled hydra. But it is the epicenter of the cancer that has put whatever is left of this nation, institutions, heritage and culture on life support. For his daring to openly – and effectively – attack it, he must be destroyed.

This explains Tricky Haley's "victory" in DC.

Haley, 52, was declared the winner by the Associated Press after taking all 19 delegates at stake in a GOP primary that took place in one of the most heavily Democratic jurisdictions in the country. 

DC counts just 23,000 registered Republicans. . . Haley’s spokesperson noted that her victory makes her the first woman to win a Republican presidential primary contest in US history.

Oh wow. Our first official uterus. Pfft.

Meanwhile, Trump, 77, seemed unbothered by his very first loss. He sarcastically congratulated the former South Carolina governor on being named “Queen of the Swamp by the lobbyists and DC insiders that want to protect the failed status quo” in a statement Sunday night.

Indeed. Tomorrow is Super Tuesday where Trump is expected to sweep the 15 contests with ease. And yet, like radioactive crotch-rot, Haley still persists.

Former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy both famously and infamously declared Nikki Haley to be “Dick Cheney in three-inch heels.” But Ramaswamy dropped out of the nomination race while former U.N. ambassador and mouthpiece for the Military Industrial Complex Haley is still in their pitching. 

But her game is not about winning but about making victory for former President Donald Trump as agonizing, painful and embarrassing as possible. 

Dick Cheney? Hell, Haley is another LIz Cheney – a RINO obsessed with taking down Trump and advancing the gilded but bloodied racket of the defense contractors who are committed to committing you and the United States to any foreign war anytime as long as they provide the munitions. The problem remains that ultimately, Americans will be providing their children, their husbands, their sons, their mothers and daughters to those foreign wars and they will be coming back in body bags or as wounded warriors who become homeless veterans. . .

. . . As she prepares for another shellacking on Super Tuesday and having just lost the financial backing of the Koch Network, it is more than appropriate to wonder just why she is continuing to stay in a race that she cannot win and one in which her very presence guarantees her continued alienation from the Republican base.

The answer is quite simple: she is not working for the Republican base but for the Deep State establishment that wants the United States to get back into the fight – any fight. She is laboring for a position and a voice in any potential Democratic administration that would more accurately reflect her views and opinions than any Trump administration would. She is fighting for her defense contractors who are scared as hell that Trump is going to win re-election and shut down this foreign war charade that continues to generate their billions and trillions of dollars in revenue. Haley is the last, best hope in the Republican Party for these amoral, uncaring monsters. 

Trump’s greatest failing as president was not that he was vindictive – though he certainly can be that in his personal life – but because he did not effectively assess the danger and insidious power of the intelligence, judicial and defense structures that immediately sought to remove Trump from power. He, much like President John F. Kennedy did, really thought the elected officials were in control and that the bureaucracy would actually listen when the commander-in-chief gave an order.

That bureaucracy, like a massive barnacle on American democracy, did pay attention, but it did not obey. And when Trump declared that foreign wars were a terrible distraction for America, they decided it was time for him to go.

Naturally, Icky Nikki is refusing to endorse/back Trump when he eventually wins the nomination. Look, to be fair, Trump back in 2016 refused to say he'd endorse anyone had he not come out on top but the venom and nastiness dripping from Haley's maw is reflective of our current situation which is radically different from even eight years ago. Trump was and still is running against the DC swamp. Why should he ever endorse any creature who might be a part of it, to whatever degree he/she is? Then again, too many of his own endorsements and staffing boners with RINO frauds and saboteurs played and likely will continue to play a major role in his eventual undoing. He better wise up to that, like yesterday.

Of course, if he should overcome whatever cheat is coming our way next November, on top of the Stalinist show trials being hurled at him, the specter of organized and/or nod-and-a-wink approved massive street violence up to and including an attempt on Trump's life or even the military making a move against him – remember, the Junta, bureaucracy and its propaganda house organs have declared Trump and anyone who supports him to be literally Hitler and a threat to "our precious democracy" – looms large.

Now, seemingly out of nowhere, the phrase "white Christian nationalist" is being flung from every network and in every newsroom that still pumps out electrons, picas and pixels. You laugh at the hyperbole at your own risk. I take these bastards now at their word because the 100-year grift parading around as American politics as usual has been exposed and is threatened by the MAGA movement. They'll stop at nothing to destroy him and us.

The real fear of the “white rural rage” Chicken Littles is not that rural Americans are a threat to “democracy” but rather that they provide an immovable bulwark against the Deep State’s “master plan” for a totalitarian super-State.  All over the West, politicians and pundits continue to extol authoritarianism as “democratic” and denigrate self-government as “populist.”  It’s absurdly Orwellian, of course, but since we live in the age of censorship, propaganda, and linguistic chicanery, these word games will continue.  Somewhere in the pits of Hell, Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, and Mao are eager to remind Klaus Schwab and all the other Western globalists how “democratic” their “rules-based international orders” are, too.  

The globalist authoritarians have instructed the commoners to stop eating meat.  Rural Americans have said, “Nah, we’re good.  We like steak.”  The “new world order” folks have insisted that a great deal of speech must be censored in order to protect fragile adults from experiencing outbreaks of unapproved “hate.”  Rural Americans have responded, “Suck it up, Buttercup.  Maybe try listening to an opposing point of view sometime.  It might just vaccinate you from the plague of groupthink.”  The globo-Marxists have demanded that consumers hand over their keys to any car with an internal combustion engine.  Rural Americans have laughingly replied, “Not only are we keeping every truck and tractor from the last century in a barn out back but also we can’t wait to buy some new all-terrain vehicles to ride through the backcountry.”  Officials who betray their oaths to the Constitution have told law-abiding Americans that they have no right to own a gun.  Rural Americans have calmly loaded their weapons in preparation for self-defense and whispered back, “Come and take it.”  In disposition and beliefs, rural Americans are the natural “Minutemen” guarding American liberty.

Ultimately, attacks against rural Americans — like the left’s attacks against Christians — are a wretched form of bigotry designed to spread the insidious idea that people who live outside city limits are subhuman.  Because rural America is filled with resilient people who adamantly defend the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights, it represents an antidote to the cancerous form of Marxist globalism killing cities across the country.  Because rural America is filled with faithful people who are obedient to God’s will — and not D.C.’s — it remains a natural refuge for those immune from institutional brainwashing.  Because rural America is blessed with an abundance of self-sufficient families, hard workers, and freethinkers, it provides a welcoming home for human liberty.  For these reasons, aspiring totalitarians must destroy rural America if they are to have any chance at erecting a new system founded on censorship, surveillance, oppression, and tyranny.  The problem for the Deep State is that rural Americans know what to do when the SHTF and, in fact, have been preparing all their lives.      

Mass psychological programs that dehumanize groups of people always precede State-engineered genocides.  It is how cognitive warfare specialists pepper society with a preemptive rationale for why some people must be loaded onto boxcars and sent away for “re-education.”  Newt Gingrich is certainly right: any nuclear war would be catastrophic.  If we’re being honest, though, Americans must also worry about how the totalitarian left is following in the footsteps of Hitler’s Germany.  Prepare your mind accordingly.

Indeed.
