The Morning Report — 9/16/24

Good Morning Kids. So for the second time in three months, a Democrat assassin (pardon the redundancy given the history of that party and political violence) took a pot shot at former President Trump. While we still know very little about the first wold be assassin, and considering the massive security failures by local law enforcement and the Secret Service at the Butler PA rally, the authorities ventilated the hell out of him. Because dead men tell no tales, as the saying goes.

That said, it turns out that this time around, the shooter is known to be a full-on Harris/Walz supporter and has a raging hate on for Trump and anyone who supports him. You'd think the Democrats and Deep State would pick a patsy and create a fake dossier for him that might give them a bit more wiggle room in the post-attempt nnon-denial-denial phase, instead of yet another Lee Harvey Oswald.

Meh, 61 years later and the fact that Republicans and the "climate of hate in Texas" still get blood-libeled for so obvious a plot. Funny how the Democrats still don't get the blame for slavery, Jim Crow and every disaster and catastrophe that have befallen the American people since Aaron Burr murdered Alexander Hamilton, and then went on to create Tammany Hall in New York, and essentially now all of DC.

For nigh on nine years, Donald Trump has been slimed as literally Hitler and anyone and everyone who supports and votes for him is a white supremacist, bigoted Nazi. And yet we get this raw sewage from perhaps the worst Leftist house organ out there. MSNSDAP.

MSNBC anchor Alex Witt questioned whether former President Donald Trump should consider “toning down” his rhetoric Sunday following what may have been an assassination attempt on the former president.

So, Donald Trump is at fault for getting shot at twice? Nice job of blaming the rape victim for dressing provocatively, or the Jew for wearing a yarmulke and a star of David openly on a college campus.

Remember, as Ace brilliantly states: "Our speech is violence, but their violence is speech." And of course, the latter is a natural and normal reaction to the former since it is to protect our precious democracy.

Not to turn your stomach so early in the morning, but recall what Maxine "Love Canal" Waters demanded of people very early on in Trump's first term:

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) is calling on her supporters to confront Trump administration officials and staffers in public amid widespread backlash to the President’s zero-tolerance policy on illegal immigration. “Let’s make sure we show up wherever we have to show up,” Waters told a crowd in California over the weekend. “If you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd, and you push back on them, and you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.”

Well, See if you can spot where Maxine's voice is coming from now:

Kamala’s running mate Tim Walz was campaigning in Wisconsin this weekend when he told a crowd that the race is going to be a battle in which you speak to people in the grocery store and ask them if they’ve voted yet.

When Walz was first introduced, he tried very hard to frame Trump and J.D. Vance as “weird.” I’m thinking this was a case of projection. Also, isn’t this the same guy who always says people should mind their own damn business?

The November election will be a “margin-of-error race,” Walz predicted, saying Wisconsin would be one of a handful of states necessary to win.

“This thing’s going to be a battle for the next 52 days,” he said. “It’s gonna be won in rooms just like this. It’s gonna be won door-to-door, call-to-call, $5 donation, trying to have that hard conversation in the produce aisle with the person you saw there at the grocery store.”

"Hard" like brass knuckles that last for more than four hours hard, Timmy?

Last bit of revulsion to drive the point home, as if we need it:

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) took to X on Sunday to decry what he called “extreme MAGA Republicans,” adding, “We must stop them.” Notably, Jeffries made this declaration an hour after former President Donald Trump survived a second assassination attempt.

So, were these last two attempts from within our own corrupted governmental establishment, or independent Democrat psychos hopped up on Democrat eliminationist rhetoric? Or some combination of both. I get the sense that whether it's within the top levels of the Junta or the grassroots Democrats, they know that unless the cheat is so absolutely huge as to be impossible to hide, Trump is going to win and going to win massively, and in places that will shock them to their core.

Have a good day.

• Robert Spencer: For years, Ramadan dismissed such allegations as “racism” and “Islamophobia.” In a Dec. 2019 video, he claimed that the accusations against him were all an attempt to discredit him and thereby “neutralize the Muslims.” He added: “We have to be clear that there is discrimination, stigmatization, racism that is at stake in the whole issue. And I was a symbol. To destroy me meant, let the people understand: If you want to be vocal you have to face the reality. It happened to Tariq Ramadan now, it could happen to anyone in the future.”

• The once-Christian West is becoming almost as anti-Christian as Muslim nations, while simultaneously becoming irrationally admiring of Islam. Perhaps that is because the West (especially Europe) has imported so many Muslims. To be an “Islamophobe” now is as awful a label to wokies as it would have been for someone in 1940s London or New York to be accused of being a “Nazi.” And so Muslims who convert to Christianity and hope to find a safe haven in Europe can find themselves instead being persecuted with almost no interest from authorities in their plight.

Another notes that Harris’s husband, Doug Emhoff, would be "the first Jewish presidential spouse ever"—that Harris and Emhoff are "making history, standing up for what’s right, supporting Israel." . . .Oh, we forgot to mention: The ads are airing in the Detroit area. Dearborn, Mich., is an inner-ring suburb of Detroit home to the country’s largest Muslim population, and what the Times report from Katie Glueck doesn’t say is that the 40,000 or so odd Arabs there don’t like Jews.

• The interview reinforced fears that Harris cannot respond to unscripted questions, and suggested that her debate performance last week, which many viewers thought was strong, was the result of rehearsed answers. (Indeed, on many occasions during the debate, Harris simply evaded the question she was being asked, most notably the first question: “When it comes to the economy, do you believe Americans are better off than they were four years ago?”.)
  Media Bury Kamala Harris’ Disastrous First Solo Interview
  
• Last week’s debate was a three-on-one dumpster fire. The media wants to talk about Kamala eating Trump’s lunch, but the American people are talking about who’s eating cats. Our lasting takeaways were the utter weirdness of it all — and the intrinsic unfairness of a three-on-one debate. Plus, the obvious implication: The media must’ve helped Kamala that much… because she needed the help. Clearly, she can’t do it on her own.

That relationship, which began when Harris was the Alameda County deputy district attorney, is largely rumored to have contributed to her early career given that Brown appointed her to boards and supported her political campaign for District Attorney, and has earned Harris plenty of criticism over the fact that she slept with a married man.
