The Morning Report — 11/26/24

SmithZaius.jpg

Good morning kids. So, among some pretty big stories in the links is that the execrable hack Stalinist show trial prosecutor Jack Smith has folded up his tent and ended the groundless, baseless case against Donald Trump. The estimable Daniel Greenfield describes it perfectly:

The abandonment of the Trump cases simply signals that the ‘resistance’ is moving from the former to the latter.

Jack Smith, like Mueller, was only the latest in a succession of propped up figures who played the inquisitioner role for an audience of MSNBC viewers and Washington Post readers. Everyone else with common sense knew how this would play out. And that’s why they cared very little.

Smith dropped the nonsensical election subversion case now that the election has been won. There will be other cases and other front men, but they will be aimed at the incoming administration and figures around it. The investigations of Trump’s conduct in Term 2 will be generated on schedule, but their aim will be to create chaos and inhibit the administration. What was election interference will move on to interference with a duly elected administration by special prosecutors, state prosecutors and a crew of activist lawyers employed by major organizations.

One wave of lawfare is dead. The next is being developed now.

Hence the trumped up accusations against such individuals as Matt Gaetz and Pete Hegseth, in the wings Tulsi Gabbard (who will be viciously raked over the coals for her apostasy of abandoning the caliphate of Leftism.) And get set for the fireworks over Kash Patel to a major post at the FBI if not the DOJ!!!!

If you thought that President-elect Trump had used up all of his "controversial" nominations, buckle up, because he is reportedly planning to appoint Kash Patel, the former chief investigator of the Trump-Russia investigation for the House Intelligence Committee under former Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), to a prominent position within either the FBI or the Justice Department, according to top transition sources cited by Axios.. . Patel published a book in 2023 that Trump hailed as a “blueprint” for rooting out corrupt figures in government, and has been vocal about ending the weaponization of government. In his book, he wrote, “The FBI has become so thoroughly compromised that it will remain a threat to the people unless drastic measures are taken,” though Axios called that "retaliation against Trump's political enemies," because, of course they would.


This is the moral equivalent of putting Tail Gunner Joe McCarthy (PBUH) to head up the KGB! Meh, John Brennan somehow got the top slot at the CIA? That one still gives me nightmares as to how it was even possible he was hired to work there in the first place. But I digress.

There will also be massive acts of abject insubordination if not treasonous sabotage within the upper echelons if not rank and file of the DC bureaucracies, from the lowliest toilet attendant at the Dept. of the Redundancy Department all the way up to the director. It certainly will be interesting if Trump's efforts with this newfangled DOGE will yield actual results in dismantling at least some bits and pieces of the Deep State that have disfigured the Republic as founded into a Rachel Levine Frankenstein's monster of a catamite sex slave.

Frankly, given the nature of power and those who wield it, who have worked tirelessly for decades upon decades in stealing it from successive generations of unaware and/or duped Americans, I pray we can at least take a few steps back from the long march through the institutions, away from the mass grave the Theodor Adornos and Rudy Dutschkes of this world have brought us to the brink of. Certainly the election of Ronald Reagan and of course 40 years on the election, re-election and RE-re-election of Donald Trump must indicate something positive in the psyche of the citizenry?

WEll, Ace-cruelty Fanboi, the brilliant author and historian Victor Davis Hanson thinks we might be on the cusp of a sea-change in the political/cultural landscape:

We are witnessing a historic counterrevolution after Trump’s victory, far different from his first election in 2016. The orthodox and the supposed scripted future are now suspect. And they are likely to be dethroned—from the trivial to the existential. Critics claim Trump has no mandate to stage such a counterrevolution. They argue that he did not win 51 percent of the popular vote or achieve a Reaganesque landslide in the Electoral College. Yet all the initiatives he advanced and won on polled landslide public approval.


Well, it remains to be seen. As an ex New Yorker and someone who sees his hometown through somewhat rose-colored spectacles, even as Daniel Penny's trial winds down, and some positive signs and revelations in a sane world should please-GOD lead to his freedom, This happened on the NYC subway just yesterday:


A straphanger was slugged in the face by an irate seatmate on a Manhattan-bound subway — but he managed to wrestle the “little b–ch” to the ground until cops could intervene.
Alexander Rakitin, 42, was riding the N Train to his Manhattan finance job Monday morning when he sat down next to 34-year-old Timothy Barbee.
As the train took off, the car jolted causing Rakitin’s knee to jostle Barbee’s — which set the alleged assailant off.
“Apparently my knee touched his knee. That triggered him,” Rakitin told The Post. “He was just very aggressive. I’m like, saying, ‘Dude, just chill, it’s like 8:30 in the morning. Like, who needs this s–t. Just chill.'” Then he smacked Rakitin across the face — sending his glasses flying — before the camera cut out.
“I was able to wrestle him to the ground after that, and just kind of hold him,” Rakitin said. “And the craziest part was that — and this is literally upsetting, like I’m actually emotional about it — people on the train were trying to help him. Like, that was the most insane thing.
“It was also remarkable — he went from acting like such a thug. And then he turned into a little b–ch right away. He’s like, ‘I can’t breathe. Please, let me go. Please, let me go. I can’t breathe. Somebody give me some water. I can’t breathe.’ And people started giving him water. That was so insane.”

. . . “To be honest, like everybody sees the way the city is — it’s not like it’s changing. I already saw that the city is like this, that you’re in a constant danger of aggression or violent crime,” he said. “It’s not like it’s changing. It’s just kind of reaffirming that that’s the way the city is.”


Again, it wasn't always like that. Yes it was bad. But there were eras of sanity even during Ed Koch's time and certainly Rudy Giuliani's when it was about as amazing a place to live and work as you could imagine, the nightmare of 9/11/01 and its aftermath notwithstanding.

I have to wonder if the individuals in this incident even understood the implications of what was happening to their fellow citizen Daniel Penny and how there but for the grace of GOd what happened to him and what they were enduring on that N Train was almost exactly the same damned thing. And that their lamentations about the Big Apple, assuming they are and vote Democrat election after election put them in that position.

Are scales falling from eyes? Well, say what you will about this incident, here's an item that indicates perhaps more than a bit of positive news in this regard:

A majority of Americans support President-elect Donald J. Trump’s plan for mass deportations to address the illegal immigration crisis in the United States, according to a new survey. Trump’s stance on deportations has enjoyed significant support among the populace since late Spring, and data suggests the issue played a significant role in his landslide 2024 election victory.The poll, conducted by YouGov on behalf of CBS, shows 57 percent of respondents supporting Trump’s deportation plan. However, Americans also appear wary of using U.S. military assets to remove illegal immigrants. According to the data, 82 percent of respondents said they want federal immigration and border patrol agencies to carry out the deportations. Meanwhile, 64 percent said they’d like to see federal law enforcement agencies involved. Forty percent said they would want the U.S. military involved in deportations.

Well there's insurrection and insubordination, and then we have mayors and governors across the nation set to defy the establishment of any rebirth of an "Operation Wetback" from President Trump. And how would that fly with the citizenry given the aforementioned poll, which is not an outlier but indicative of one of the many major issues that propelled Trump to a massive victory this time around. Or alternatively, sent the Democrats down to a massive defeat. In that perspective, Maybe Prof Hanson is on to something? Or is he?

Have a great day one and all.
