The Morning Report — 11/21/24

RubinKong.jpg

Good Morning Kids. Wow, it really is great to be back up and running. Being off a day here and there is a good thing, but to be away for so long, especially as the election loomed and then passed was gnawing at me. Thank you for your patience and understanding, and a big thanks to Mis Hum and CBD for filling in for me, and of course for all of you for discussing and linking to the stories to keep the threads going.

Now, on to the top stories. Apologies in advance for quoting someone perpetually huffing toxoplasmosis whippets, but the raging chutzpocrisy is instructive:

I don't know if you've noticed this trend, but since Election Day, there have been a lot of angry people. Unlike Democrats, I don't love putting people into groups, but in this case, I have to admit that most of those angry people I've seen are white liberal women.. .

. . .In a recent episode of her podcast "Jen Rubin’s Green Room," the Washington Post columnist and MSNBC contributor goes on and on about her favorite topic — Donald Trump — and then she also makes what sounds like a thinly veiled threat: "For those of them who decide to support this, either by voting for these clowns or by running for cover. What are we going to do about them? There has to be a political price."  

Rubin then offers some advice to Democrats on how to reach those people who "don’t get political news, who never pick up a newspaper, who never turn on CNN, who never even bother with Fox News." She says that "those people really have no idea what's going on" and "we have to bend over backwards not to suck up to these people, not to make excuses for them, but at least to communicate the basic facts." Wow. Condescending much? . . .

You have to boil it down to nuts and bolts and you have to be pithy. What do I mean by pithy? How about this? Republicans want to kill your kids. It’s actually true. If you’re going to oppose vaccinations, if you’re going to stop breakthrough medical research, if you’re going to allow minors and all sorts of people to get semi-automatic weapons, which they use to shoot up schools, well then you are responsible for kids' health and death, unfortunately. It has to be that simple and that direct, and it has to be over and over and over again.

And in the 50 years that the bastardization (accidental pun) of the Constitution Roe v. Wade was the law of the land how many thousands of children did that Democrat-Leftist atrocity pave the way to be killed. Of course, an unwanted unborn child is not to reconsidered anything more than a useless lump of flesh and or an inconvenience. To raging Faminazis, children at nearly any age are viewed that way.

Funny how I can't find any rending of cloth by Rubin or any of her ilk over the brutal death of Laken Riley. And scores more like her who've been murdered, raped, brutalized and assaulted, especially during the past four years where our borders were intentionally erased by the outgoing criminal Biden-Harris Junta, praise the Lord for its departure.

If you haven't been able to watch any of the trial, I must warn you: It has been, at times, equal parts heartbreaking and infuriating. Full disclosure: I attended the University of Georgia myself and have spent a lot of time on that campus. I've never once felt unsafe there, which makes this murder all the more disturbing and upsetting. That said, here are the highlights.   Heartbreaking Last Message to Her Mom  The most gut-wrenching part of the trial came today when Riley's final moments before meeting her brutal end were shared with the courtroom. First, prosecutors showed surveillance video of Riley jogging minutes before her death. They also had footage of a man in dark clothing, presumably Ibarra, lingering in the area.  But the part that left many people, especially Riley's family, in tears was when Sargent Sophie Raboud with the UGA police read a text message the young woman sent her mother: "Good morning...about to go for run if you’re free to talk." She sent the message around 8:55 a.m. A few minutes later, she called, but her mom didn't answer. At 9:24 a.m., her mother attempted to call her back, but would she never speak to her daughter again. 

While this criminal fiend was found guilty, the fact that he did not receive the death penalty is an outrage to all normal, right-thinking people. And that excludes of course anyone and everyone like Jen Rubin. Think back to those halcyon days of the 1988 election and one Michael Dukakis, who was grilled over his revolving door justice during his stint as MA governor that let a criminal murderer named Willie Horton go free, and how Dukakis refused to say he'd want him dead had he done his crimes on Dukakis' wife Kitty.

Speaking of Massachusetts, here we are 36 years later:

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents busted three illegal aliens accused of raping children in Massachusetts just days after the state’s Democratic governor said she would not assist federal efforts to deport illegal aliens.

The Boston-based agents arrested three illegal aliens, each of whom have been charged or convicted with raping children. That includes Alexandre Romao De Oliveira, who was previously convicted in his native country of Brazil for raping a child in 2022. He illegally entered the United States in 2022 and was arrested this week in Methuen, Massachusetts.

The arrests come just after Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey said state police will “absolutely not” cooperate with federal immigration enforcement agents as they attempt to carry out President-elect Donald Trump’s mass deportation agenda. Healey also said Massachusetts and other blue states might fight Trump’s deportation agenda in the courts.

The Left is always demanding we destroy our society, nation and government to do it for the children when in point of fact everything they enact and put forth will allow them and their pervert criminal constituents to do it TO the children.

Maura, Healy thyself. On a similar note, you can extrapolate this attitude across blue state houses and city halls as well as the entire federal bureaucracy in DC. Insubordination and insurrection.

It certainly will be interesting to see what really happens when Trump through and with Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy, and his allies in congress (at least in theory) Mike Johnson and John Thune attempt to neuter the 80-plus year cancer on the American government as founded and society that is the bureaucratic leviathan.

Societies change. Though humans have difficulty perceiving this fact during their lifetimes, the tide of change inexorably rolls forward, sometimes for better, sometimes for worse. I then documented in detail the space efforts by both Russia and the United States in the decades after the Apollo landing and the politics behind those programs, with both providing a great window into how both societies changed in the second half of the 20th century. As I concluded, “They were like ships passing in the night.” Similarly, the major cultural and political shift away from big government and the regulatory state that I think we are now experiencing in the United States is not going to change our country overnight. These things take time. People who firmly believe it is a good idea to “gender affirm” confused little kids by cutting off their breasts or castrating them are not going to change their minds easily. People who believe in big government — especially those who benefit from it — are not going to meekly allow that big government and those benefits to vanish without a fight.

It's not just Leftists. But sadly the word "Entitlements" have seeped into the mindset of far too many regular normal Americans. Hate or love things like Social security and Medicare, the fact is we have been forced to pay into them as Uncle Sam wets his beak in our weekly paychecks. So in that sense, yes we are entitled to our share when it comes due.

The mindset has been changed in fundamental ways from self-reliance to dependance on the government. Can that change, even over the long haul? Trump's victory won't seal the deal but maybe it was a first step on the long road back from the long march through the institutions.


Have a great day!

  • Victor Davis Hanson: The Trump counterrevolution challenges entrenched elites, bureaucracies, and progressive ideologies in favor of restoring traditional values, government accountability, and national identity.
    The Trump Counterrevolution Is a Return to Sanity
  • Changing people’s minds in this fundamental way will take many years and many battles. To push for change, the right now has to do what the left did for the past century, never give up, never give in, and continue the fight on all fronts and at all times. By doing this and winning small but in time bigger and bigger victories, those who love freedom will slowly convince a now skeptical American public that freedom and tiny government really is a good thing, despite the risks it entails. Freedom also brings glory and success, in ways that can never be imagined in advance. That glory and success will be the proof that brings freedom back to America.
