The Morning Report — 6//14/24

Good Morning Kids.

First of all, the insane notion of Israel, on any level and for whatever reason, negotiating with Hezbollah and Hamas is like Sharon Tate Negotiating with Charles Manson. So now that Hamas is by all indications that we are privy to on the ropes, the second front up north in Lebanon with Hezbollah looks to be heating up and of course, its mission is identical to Hamas, wipe Israel off the face of the earth as a sovereign nation state and in so doing annihilate every Jew in the process. That's just for starters since the goal of Islam itself is to wipe every non Islamic nation state off the face of the earth and ditto every Jew and other non Muslim. thereby establishing Earth itself as an Islamic world. Period, full stop.

It is now obvious to all but the most clueless that for a multitude of reasons, sadly some that go back centuries, the world in general also wants to see Israel wiped off the map. Sadder still this resurgent madness is being led by the United States of America. Cold comfort that the USA is being lorded over by an illegitimate junta whose supporters have ironically enough have sought to wipe it and its history off the face of the earth for decades as well. And here we all are.

On a not necessarily unrelated note, there's this angle to the Hunter Biden gun charge conviction:

There is another important and interesting element to this story.  Hunter’s legal team have already signaled that they intend to invoke the 2nd Amendment on appeal.  That’s right: they’re going to argue the NRA position that Form 4473 violates the Constitution.  I happen to agree with this argument.  The one right recognized in the Bill of Rights contingent on anything at all is the 2nd Amendment.  I believe this to be unconstitutional.  You don’t lose your right to free speech if you’re a drug addict.  You don’t lose your right to freedom from searches and seizures.  Why should you lose the right to defend yourself?

Does it make practical sense to deny drug addicts access to firearms?  Of course.  But in my belief system, the pragmatic must often take a back seat to the principle.  I must admit, though, that I am looking forward to watching the leftist media argue that the verdict violates the 2nd Amendment.  I might even tune in to The View, and risk the inevitable brain cell loss that comes from listening to their “reasoning,” to watch their collective minds melt.

There’s a third important issue.  Just hours after Hunter’s conviction for violating federal gun laws, Joe (and by “Joe” I mean whoever is really president) chose not to cancel his speech to the gun control organization Everytown for Gun Safety.  The bizarrely ironic political decision to give this speech on this day must be one of the weirdest moments in politics I’ve ever witnessed.  The idiots in the room did not see the irony, chanting, “Four more years!” and applauding loudly at every partially unintelligible word passing from the teleprompter through the corn maze of Joe’s brain and out through the microphone. . .

. . . Finally, the third and most important issue.  Once again, Joe doubled down on his argument that having guns to protect yourself from a tyrannical government is silly because “you’d need an F-15.”  Many have pointed out the obvious threat in this argument, and they are correct.  It’s clearly a threat.  But there’s something more subtle at play here.  Without realizing the implications, he’s actually arguing that fully armed F-15s owned by private citizens are protected by the 2nd Amendment.

Think about it.  If you agree that the 2nd Amendment is to protect you from a tyrannical government — and I’d argue that we’re watching that tyranny progress in real time — then logically, F-15s and tanks, and whatever else citizens need to defend themselves against that threat, are protected arms.  I don’t want to live in a world like that, but then, I haven’t threatened the American people several times with the use of fighter-bomber aircraft.  I’m not making that argument; I’m just pointing out that Joe Biden has been making it unintentionally.

All of this is part and parcel of, as I had stated, erasing America as founded and replacing it with yet another failed socialist/globalist paradise on earth. And it is we who stand in the way. This time defined as white Christian nationalists, with or without the word MAGA thrown in there for good measure.

On a more upbeat note, there's this bit of good news about the execrable SPLC, a regime enforcement arm and propaganda mill.

The Southern Poverty Law Center, a hateful scam, has been in freefall ever since it purged its founder, who originated the scam. Say what you will about Morris Dees (and as a guy whom the SPLC named as a hate group of one, I’ve had lots to say over the years), but he was a good self-promoter. Post-Dees, the SPLC has become a generic albeit somewhat more professional leftist group caught in its own cancel culture spiral.

The SPLC has been battling its own union which in typical nonprofit fashion is even worse than the group (it endorsed Islamic terror) and has now reportedly cut a quarter of its staff. That’s bigger than it sounds because that’s only about 60 people.

Have a good weekend.

  ABORTION

• The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2016 and 2021 — under Democrat Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden — relaxed regulatory access to mifepristone, an abortion drug that can be taken to cause an early abortion. . . “Several pro-life doctors and associations sued FDA, arguing that FDA’s actions violated the Administrative Procedure Act. But the plaintiffs do not prescribe or use mifepristone. And FDA is not requiring them to do or refrain from doing anything,” Justice Brett Kavanaugh began for the court. “Rather, the plaintiffs want FDA to make mifepristone more difficult for other doctors to prescribe and for pregnant women to obtain. Under Article III of the Constitution, a plaintiff’s desire to make a drug less available for others does not establish standing to sue.”

  FOREIGN AFFAIRS, INTERNATIONAL

• The French far left has formed a unified ‘Popular Front’ for President Emmanuel Macron’s snap election, but the French right is in shambles. Electoral pacts between Marine Le Pen’s National Rally, the populist Reconquest party, and the establishment right Les Republicains (Republicans) are failing spectacularly.Macron called the legislative election, which will not affect the presidency after his party was drubbed by Le Pen’s party in the European Parliament elections. Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, believes Macron and his Renaissance party were damaged by their proximity to Joe Biden in the European elections and that calling a sudden national election is an attempt to catch the populist right while it is short on resources and steal its momentum. This has seen mixed success.
