The Morning Report — 12/27/24

Good morning kids. Oh give me a freaking break, already.

Remember how Democrats were outraged — Outraged! — that some Republicans objected to the counting of the Electoral College votes back in 2021 over concerns that voter fraud tipped the election results to Joe Biden in key battleground states? The very idea of disputing the election results was seen as blasphemy and anti-democratic.  Yet the left is once again pushing for Congress to block Donald Trump from taking office, despite his overwhelming victory in 2024.

Evan Davis, the former editor-in-chief of the Columbia Law Review, and David Schulte, the former editor-in-chief of the Yale Law Journal, argue in a joint column in The Hill that Congress not only has the power to block Trump from taking office but should. 

Their column doesn’t cover much new ground. It references Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which disqualifies individuals who have engaged in insurrection from holding office, despite the fact that Trump did no such thing. Heck, he hasn’t even been charged with such an offense, and when you consider the fact that rogue left-wing prosecutors have charged him with all sorts of made-up crimes, that says something.

Funny how Trump and we are labeled as deniers, and a hell of a lot worse for objecting and protesting what we now know, with mountains of physical, statistical, forensic and eyewitness evidence that at the barest of bare minimums showed that the integrity and validity of the 2020 election was seriously compromised.

Despite none of this in 2000,2004 and in 2016 each of the Democrat candidates as well as their entire party went on for years insisting that they were robbed and that Dubya and Trump were illegitimate. Recall that in 2016, there were indeed violent protests at and near the White House that resulted in the firebombing and destruction of an historic church. This of course an extension of the wave of burning and looting and murdering that ravaged American cities and towns in the summer of 2020, in the wake of the George Floyd dying while resisting arrest, again as a pretext to try and derail the election.

That and unleashing a Chi-Com and Fauci created/US Taxpayer funded Franken-virus as the pretext to lock down the world and cancel or otherwise give cover to legalized election-rigging.

And as for labeling Trump and those who came to DC on 1/6/21 as insurrectionists and terrorists intent on overthrowing the government to prevent the Electoral college from certifying the results, it will go down as one of the most vicious libels that resulted in the perversion of the justice system as a means for the Democrat Left to persecute and silence all opposition.

We know what Democrats and Leftists are capable of when they are denied power. The attempts on Trump's life are just the latest example, as are the threats against individuals such as Justice Kavanaugh and the infamous Chuck Schumer's thinly veiled threat about how the Intel community has 9 ways to Sunday to get at Trump, and on and on and on for over 200 years.

Can they actually pull this off and you can likely guess the media's reaction to both a successful coup and a failed one.

We're on a knife edge as it is, but this garbage is murder. And yet, that is the state of play 248 years out from the American Revolution. A republic if we can keep it. And the jury is out on that one. Are we really going to make it to the 250th: "Semiquincentennial." Especially as even a shadow of what the American nation, society and government are supposed to resemble. As Trump himself would say, we'll just have to wait and see. As always, hope and pray for the best, but prepare for the worst.

Lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know. Have a great weekend!

• Over the course of the last four years, the Biden junta moved to shut down drilling activity on tens millions of acres of land in the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska (NPR-A) and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR), retroactively canceled lease sales and effectively blocked a major mining project in the state, often touting the administration’s commitment to protecting the environment for native communities in official statements and press releases. However, these actions were a major disappointment to some of Alaska’s natives, who told the DCNF that the administration seems to have mostly ignored their desire to allow development that generates revenues for their communities and that they are ready to work with the incoming Trump administration to strike an appropriate balance.

Thyri's death took place in California, which continues to embrace destructive policies that serve only to maintain the health and welfare of the bureaucrat class. Under the aegis of Gavin Newsom and his allies, it is likely to remain so. This is because, despite what the Left may tell you, the first priority of its members has been and always will be themselves. Lofty rhetoric aside, the compassion of the Left rarely, if ever, extends beyond its own interests. As much as we may welcome the efforts of Trump, Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy, Tulsi Gabbard, and Robert F. Kennedy, a wholesale change in American thinking is needed if we are to make anything great. And that will take longer than four years.
