The Morning Report — 12/11/24

Good morning kids. As the saying goes, in the end it won't matter who fired the first shot, but who fired the last. And make no mistake we have been under a barrage of artillery, of both the rhetorical and literal variety going on 200-plus years. The toxic mix of an unslakable will to power, along with more than a mere soupçon of self-hatred, greed, envy and just the orgasmic glee in watching glass shatter, things go up in flames and people bleed is what we are dealing with in the Left and its locus of political power the Democrat Party.

The inversion of reality that makes Daniel Penny a villain and this Mangione some sort of a hero just underscores and scratches the surface of the twisted, perverted mentality we are up against. Let me state for the record that what Daniel Penny was forced to do given the circumstances he found himself in is regrettable in the extreme. The blame for that falls squarely at the feet of the moral and societal decay that created Neely and set him loose to roam at will. And there can be no excusing of a cold blooded assassination of a healthcare CEO regardless of whatever the shooter ranted and raved about in his manifestos. As I have stated or tried to explain over the past few days, the failings of the system that are inherent are only compounded by government interference, that were supersized post-2010. And, the decision of executives and employees or medical professionals to deny coverage regardless of legal or other consequences are perhaps a moral failing on their part which goes hand in hand of the moral and societal dissolution going on for decades now that has corrupted so much of said society. Still, you don't stalk an insurance executive and gun him down in cold blood thinking that will somehow solve problems, real or imagined.

Be it this nut or Ted Kaczynski or Audrey Hale or any one of a dozen or more over just the last few years, what drove them to do what they did is the result primarily of Leftist brainwashing, blame-shifting onto capitalists, saboteurs, racists, kulaks, right-wingers or whoever stands in the way of total Democrat/Leftist domination and the paradise on earth they have been promising since forever, if only they can liquidate Trump and the literal Hitlers that stand in the way.
Yeah, bitch and moan all you want about the lousy insurance companies, doctors and whoever. And I do not mean to diminish or dismiss any of you or your loved ones that have had horrid experiences with them during times of a health crisis. And I pray for you and yours.

Yet take note of who is cheering on or otherwise excusing the killing of Brian Thompson as understandable. Look who you're agreeing with:

On Tuesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The ReidOut,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) commented on the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson by stating that “violence is never the answer, this guy gets a trial, who’s allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth[care]. But you can only push people so far, and then, they start to take matters into their own hands.” And regulation is needed.

Did this miserable despicable whore not remember that she was installed in the Senate to help pass Obamacare? Which was supposed to cure the sick and lower costs for everyone, nein? Yet, prior to that and certainly since, healthcare and insurance are regulated out the wahzoo, like every other aspect of life and the economy by a massive unelected bureaucracy. And as we discussed on the latest podcast, remember that both insurance and healthcare are not guaranteed human rights and/or entitlements. They too are services that must be paid for, somehow. If they're a right, then feel free to waltz in on Dr. Oz in the middle of the night with whatever ails you and demand he treat you.

The salient point here is what the Dishonest Injun of the land crab salad tribe said, you can only push people so far, and then, they start to take matters into their own hands.” If that really was true, she and her fellow travelers would've been "transitioned" shall we say into worm food long ago, never to rise. But it is tacit approval of what the shooter did and she's not alone as we all well know by now.

And they believe with unshakeable faith that they are protecting our precious democracy from the forces of darkness and evil and so nothing is off the table.

I mean, here we have some apple-robbing flatfoot from LA spouting this:

LA Deputy District Attorney Suggests ‘Tyrant’ Trump Should Be Killed.

On top of that, a Swatting incident involving MTG resulting in a fatal car crash. Her fault, of course. /sarc

And, we have Nancy Mace assaulted on Capitol Hill by some pervert homosexual activist.

That I even have to mention the accursed name of Joy Reid is enough to induce vomitus. And yet you must let them choke on their own turds/words.

MSNBC host Joy Reid said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “The Reid Out” that conservatism itself has “justified violence,” adding that we were “Gotham” and the Joker was “in charge.”
Reid said, “Today, the 26-year-old suspect in the killing of United Healthcare CEO was back in a Pennsylvania courtroom for an extradition hearing to determine when he’ll be brought back to New York to face charges including second-degree murder. The case has brought out a clear division in the reaction among those on the right. You see, when popular conservative pundits like Ben Shapiro and anti-woman zealot Matt Walsh try to attack evil liberals for celebrating the murder of a CEO, they were met with backlash from some of their own supporters, who defended the violence. Because the truth is some on the right don’t necessarily abhor violence if it’s against someone they don’t like, like Black Lives Matter activists or pro-Palestinian protesters. that’s why we see them get behind Kyle Rittenhouse, who shot and killed two BLM  protesters or George Zimmerman who killed Trayvon Martin and turn them into cause celebs.”[sic]

This, porcine, cancerous anal fistula cannot go to the Infernal reaches fast enough to suit me. The poison she spouts along with Warren and Titty Caca Ocasio are basically marching orders for Leftists that it's open season on anyone who opposes them. Or anyone at all who can be "transitioned" into a Horst Wessel of convenience.

The ‘Tolerant’ Left Sure Does Like Assassinations . . .The truth is that leftists are far more prone to want to murder their opponents because they’ve been infected by the Marxist-power-struggle virus, which leads them to think that the murder of a political opponent is always justifiable homicide.

In the case of health care, the left will never be satisfied until the government controls the entire system, soup to nuts, with Sen. Bernie Sanders making decisions about which patients live or die. If that means sacrificing a few health insurance CEOs on the road to this socialist Nirvana, so be it. . .

. . . In the midst of this sickness, there were some voices expressing common sense.
One of them was Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, senior associate dean at the Yale School of Management. He wrote that:
I have studied CEO and business leadership for 40 years, and such dancing on the grave of a murdered business executive is one of the most abhorrent things I have ever seen. This vitriol and violence against business and business leaders is plainly un-American.‌
Indeed it is. And who hates America? Oh, right, those on the left.

Note to Fauxcahontas Warren, We The People can only be pushed so far. The distance is yet to be determined, and we have been shoved very far indeed, to the point of off a cliff, or into a mass grave. As I stated at the start, we shall see in the end who fires the last shot. Dear Lord, regrettable though it may be, let it be us. Amen.

I believe I called this not long after the 2020 election was stolen, and when all the statues of Columbus, Lincoln, Washington and even Mahatma Ghandi came down, it won't be long before brutal cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal is pardoned and then given the medal of freedom.

And here we are:

Democrats on Capitol Hill are begging President Joe Biden, set to leave office next month, to commute the death sentences of 40 federal inmates, including one of the Boston Marathon bombers, child killers, mass shooters, and those convicted for brutally murdering women. . .

. . . Pressley also accused the first administration of President-elect Donald Trump of going on an “execution spree” for carrying out the death sentences of those sitting on death row in federal prison. Similarly, Rep. Cori Bush (R-MO) called the death penalty “a barbaric, inhumane practice most often weaponized against the most vulnerable among us” because “the overwhelming majority of people on death row are black and brown.”

Among the death sentences that Pressley and Bush are asking Biden to commute are those of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, convicted of helping carry out the Boston Marathon bombing terrorist attack that killed three people; Daniel Troya, convicted of drug-related killings of a family including two children; Marvin Gabrion, convicted of kidnapping and murdering 19-year-old Rachel Timmerman; Robert Bowers, convicted of murdering 11 Jewish Americans in a Pennsylvania synagogue; and Brandon Basham, convicted of raping and murdering 44-year-old Alice Donovan, among others.

I did not see Abu Jamal mentioned by LoPecia Pressley and that other bloated slag, but his name has got to be in there.

Suggestion for President Elect Trump: Somehow engineer the repatriation of Assata Shakur, aka Joanne Chesimard back to the USA from Cuba, have her finally convicted and then publicly executed.

That and have Kash Patel make smashing BLM, Antifa and their backers a top priority.

If only the Democrat Party could've been dismantled post 1865. And God bless the sacred memory of Senator Joe McCarthy who tried to warn us.

Have a great day.

The squad mobilized and dispatched operators to respond, non-emergency, to the Bomb Squad Headquarters."  Rome Police Sergeant and bomb squad member David Metroka was driving his personal truck en route to the squad's headquarters. Sadly, 66-year-old Tammie Pickelsimer pulled out in front of him from a parking lot, and the two vehicles collided. Pickelsimer was taken to a local hospital, but unfortunately, she succumbed to her injuries. Metroka was also taken to the hospital with minor injuries and has since been released.
