The Morning Report — 5/29/24

Good morning, kids. IT's all a titanic dumpster fire of madness. It's hard enough to face things and try to put one's thoughts down in a cogent manner on even an average day. But truth be told, we haven't really had an average day for years already. Yet at the risk of invoking one of the most horrendous individualsever to attain power and influence in this nation, I'm not bitterly clinging onto anything yet desperately clinging to the hope of some sort of deliverance from this nightmare. Faith in the almighty certainly is the rock to base it upon but also for the strength, courage and wisdom to fully understand what can be done that is within our individual pwower to bring about positive change and renewal. ANd as for courage, to understand that fighting for our beliefs and freedom does not and will never come cheaply.

At least the Israelis finally understand this and are now at long last on the offensive in Rafah to clear out the last redoubt of Hamas. Nturally, the world is still in the thrall of Israel as a genocidal illegitimate nation carrying out mass death and atrociities in racist wars of conquest. Like everything else in virtually every other topic both home and abroad, it is the exact diametric opposite of reality.

Compouning my difficulty in putting my thoughts down is my ongoing recuperation gfrom urgery and kind of a nagging suspicion that it has indeed taken a bit of a toll on my spirit and energy, and god-forbid abilities. But over the past three years, sometimes I would feel as if I was kind of writing the same freaking editorial day in and day out. I mean, contrasting the way Trump is being abused and persecuted for imaginary crimes while Biden and every other Democrat skates for actual high crimes, misdemeanors and borderline to actual treasonous behavior gets old real quick.

And while we long for the scales to fall from the eyes of the duped, brainwashed and the clueless, which I do see happening here and there, not just as portents for this upcoming election but as harbingers of some sort of long-term national societal revival.

I see it because of a Hebrew prayer for the healing of the sick. The prayer is not merely about the indvidual but for the community as a whole. It came into sharp focus of course due to my own personal travails, health wise nd an existential crisis about the world as it is and hope for renewal and revival.

We shall overcome. Because we must. Eternal darkness must not become our fate. I believe it won't be. Just stay strong and resist in ways great and small.

• “Quite frankly, I don’t think it is a miss for the defense for a couple of reasons,” Turley said in response to a question by host Harris Faulkner. “First of all … the absence of Weisselberg has got to be hit by the defense in its closing argument. There’s only one reason why the government would not call Weisselberg, and that’s that Weisselberg would contradict Cohen. Why else would you put a serial perjurer on the stand, but not the guy that he keeps on referencing? It was an agreement between Cohen and Weisselberg that defined this as a retainer and yet they didn’t call that other half of the agreement.”

Clearly, the conservative justice must now recuse in the high-profile cases, the corrupt media declared, parroting their Democrat pals.

• The federal Strategic Petroleum Reserve is “the world’s largest supply of emergency crude oil,” says the Energy Department. It was created in 1975 by the Energy Conservation Act, “primarily to reduce the impact of disruptions in supplies of petroleum products and to carry out obligations of the United States under the international energy program.” The oil is stored in underground salt caverns at four sites along the Gulf Coast. Initially planned to hold up to 1 billion barrels of petroleum, the authorized storage capacity, at 714 million barrels, is a bit short of that. Still, says the Energy Department, this “makes it a significant deterrent to oil import cutoffs and a key tool in foreign policy.”

• Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel (D) told Detroit News columnist Noal Finley Monday that he does not plan to vote in the presidential election because he dislikes Biden and former President Donald Trump. “I don’t have an interest in voting for president, and I feel disappointed by that,” he said. “I dislike both candidates. All they do is talk negative about each other, instead of talking about themselves and their ideas.”

• What could Biden do to right the ship? He could start recognizing reality: that if he loses moderates, he loses the election. He could start siding with America's allies rather than catering to those who undermine them; he could begin speaking the language of individualism rather than intersectionality; he could take action to solidify our southern border rather than whining about the supposed racism of his opponents.But he won't. So he's in real trouble, even if he refuses to acknowledge it.
