The Morning Report — 6/24/24

Good Morning Kids. So a mob brazenly roamed one of the most Jewish neighborhoods in LA and started beating up on Jews in front of a synagogue as the LAPD essentially did nothing mostly because the city's commie mayor Karen Bass and CA's fey, brilliantine, pompous ass of a tyrant governor Gavin Newsome collectively allowed it to happen.

And in a not necessarily unrelated story about the transmogrification of America into a leftist police state we have these revelations:

The Department of Homeland Security was born in the ashes of 9/11 and was initially authorized by the 2002 Homeland Security Act. 
From the start, DHS was an agency looking for a mission. Were they spies? Cops? Paper pushers? As it turns out, the answers to those questions are yes, yes, and yes. . .

. . . "Homeland Intelligence Experts Group." The innocuous name hides the fact that the biggest heavy-hitters in government intelligence and law enforcement were on it.
And you've never heard of it.
Thankfully, the good folks at America First Legal (AFL) used the auspices of the Freedom of Information Act to ferret out the activities of this group. The panel included former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and former CIA Director John Brennan  –  two of the most political appointees in the history of their respective agencies. . .

. . . It actually gets worse, There is a Stasi-like attachment to trying to get Americans to tattle on one another.

Certain efforts outlined in the files released Thursday showed how the board hoped to enhance its ability to collect information about Americans.

The group of "experts" said the "See Something, Say Something" campaign following the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York City fell short because "Americans have an ambivalent feeling of telling on each other."

"We see people who go off the rails. We need people to say something. We need a nationwide campaign to push it to the locals," the meeting notes stated.

"To get a mother or teacher to come forward, it needs to be a public health catcher's mitt," one board member noted. . .

. . . "The security of the American people depends on our capacity to collect, generate, and disseminate actionable intelligence to our federal, state, local, territorial, tribal, campus, and private sector partners," DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said in a statement at the time the "Experts Group" was formed in 2023.

The East German Stasi encouraged children to turn in their parents for "anti-socialist thinking." We're not close to that point yet. But we're a lot closer since Joe Biden became (pseudo) president.

It's a hop skip and a jump to jailing parents for refusing to allow the state to transform their sons into daughters and vice versa, or climate denialism, or election denial, or name the river in Eqypt of your choice. Solzhenitsyn's psycho wards are right around the corner.

And the goons who set America ablaze four years ago this summer and the ones beating up Jews on the streets will be the enforcers, while your own kids rat you out to the DHS.

OK, I've seen enough.

• “Most Americans believe that they’re not safer under [so-called quote-unquote "president"] Biden than they were Trump,” Graham said. “[Senator] Chris Coons, a dear friend, said that there’s a good case to be made, that you’re safer today than you were when President Trump was president. If you believe that you shouldn’t be allowed to drive. That’s silly. That’s dangerously wrong. The border is beyond broken. You have wars in Ukraine. You have the Middle East on fire. When it comes to enforcing the law, Joe Biden has been beyond reckless. He’s taken a parole statute that’s limited in nature, and is given a million people parole.”

The two trials in New York: New Yorkers said, 66% said, the justice system is politicized. And there’s nobody in New York who likes Trump. And still, 66% said the justice system is politicized. That’s why I think he’s not paying the same price for these verdicts because they believe it is political. And you wanna talk about a threat to democracy? When you have this country believing you’re playing politics with the justice system, and you’re trying to put people in jail or convict them for political reasons, then we have a big problem.”

• One of the proposals he reportedly floated in his meetings with them generated quite a bit of excitement online—repeal the income tax and replace it with tariffs. The potential crossover appeal with populists and libertarian-minded swing voters was illustrated by the enthusiasm of the stalwart libertarian Rep. Thomas Massie’s (R-KY), who called the proposal “most intriguing.” That Massie, a primary supporter of Florida’s Gov. Ron DeSantis and vocal opponent of Trump's pandemic spending, and Trump’s more protectionist supporters could find energetic common ground around such an idea demonstrates the galvanizing potential such a bold tax policy revolution could provide.

• “It doesn’t really matter, because if Joe Biden walks out on that stage and says, ‘Hi, I’m Joe Biden, and I’m running for reelection for the U.S. Senate, the media will say ‘My god. He’s Churchill. What a brilliant orator. I’ve never seen anything as good or as sharp as him.’ So while the expectations for Joe Biden are always low because he’s consistently done nothing for half of a century in elected office, the media will come alongside him and prop him up regardless of his performance,” Gidley told the Caller.
