The Morning Report — 5/ 18/26

Good morning kids. As Bugs Bunny imitating Jerry Colonna might intone "Ahh, something new has been added!" Well, not really, as the age old theme of what's old is new again is in operation today. Last week it was Hantavirus, and now we have this crap raising its head again:

If Americans won’t have the meekness to get sick enough ahead of the midterm elections to justify lockdowns and all mail-in ballots, it seems globalists might be willing to manufacture another “global health emergency.” Hopefully Donald Trump and We the People are too smart to fall for that destructive nonsense twice.

Well, I fear that that might be putting hope over experience. I'd like to think the sentiment of "We won't get fooled again!" is indeed our collective watchword. Well, we shall certainly see, although color me skeptical, and yet maybe just maybe?

Dr. Anthony Fauci deserves to be indicted — but he probably won’t be, because his role in the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic that he fought so hard to cover up opens up a can of worms that nobody wants to confront. He has his great patron Joe Biden’s blanket preemptive pardon to keep him safe from federal charges. But the recent indictment of his former factotum, David Morens, on federal charges of conspiracy and record-destruction for scheming to cover up Fauci’s role in funding the risky gain-of-function research on bat viruses at the notorious Wuhan lab in China, where the COVID-19 outbreak almost certainly began, has raised hopes that Fauci is still in the crosshairs of the DOJ. President Trump has declared Biden’s last-minute autopen pardon of Fauci invalid, which would make it possible that he could be prosecuted for perjury over his 2024 testimony to Congress.Fauci’s boss, Francis Collins, didn’t receive an autopen pardon, so he also is fair game. Then there is the bombshell testimony last week from CIA whistleblower James Erdman, who alleged a multi-agency coverup involving Fauci, who was then the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. “Dr. Fauci’s role in the coverup was intentional,” Erdman testified, alleging that Fauci inserted himself into CIA deliberations about the origins of the virus — once on Feb. 3, 2020, and again on June 4, 2021 — to try to influence the analysis away from the lab-leak hypothesis most CIA analysts were leaning toward and instead persuade them to accept the farcical “natural origins” narrative, in which the virus bubbled up from an animal in a wet market fully adapted to infect humans. According to Erdman, Fauci provided the Intelligence Community with “a conflicted list of curated subject matter experts, public health officials and scientists,” several of whom were involved in publishing the notorious discredited Nature Medicine paper, “The proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2,” which dismissed the accidental lab leak theory.

Well, as fictional lawman William Munny would coldly state "Deserves got nothing to do with it!" Our all too real corrupted justice system will shield Fauci until the day he draws his last breath likely a free man and rolling in ill-gotten wealth from a career of inflicting, pain, misery and death on countless innocent people.

And also in the justice delayed is justice denied category we have the second worst crime of the century that goes hand-in-hand with COVID since the latter was the cover that enabled this in the first place:

During this week’s broadcast of Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche discussed the Department of Justice’s ongoing efforts to uncover evidence that the 2020 election was “rigged.”

The acting AG vowed to make public his agency’s findings.. . “And the reality of the answer to that is because it takes a lot of work to uncover what happened in 2020,” he continued. “It takes a lot of old, good old-fashioned law enforcement, police work, which is what we’re doing. And we have great prosecutors working on it as well. And I expect that — and I assure you, I assure the American people that as soon as we have something to say for it, whether it’s charges, whether it’s a report, whether it’s the results of an investigation, the American people will learn about what we uncovered.”

Let 's assume for argument's sake that the evidence is indeed released what justice/restitution is there for President Trump and the American people? The only thing we can hope for is that it has a salutary effect going forward. But considering the cancer that is Leftism and the Democrat Party will require the equivalent of a radioactive stake through its black heart for anything resembling justice and the prevention of 2020 ever repeating.

So, "By any means necessary" means what exactly?

The same people tagging their social media with ‘8647’ as they fume from their Northern Virginia bedroom communities over federal government reforms can hardly claim that they don’t want Trump dead. It’s as implausible as their companion claim that Iran’s chant of ‘Death to America’ is a metaphor for geopolitical change and not a call for war and destruction. They’d like us to believe that they want Trump dead badly enough to buy a $12.95 ‘Made in China’ sign wishing for that happy outcome, but that they don’t actually want to see it happen.

They’re not denying the three official Trump assassination attempts by their own faction (not counting the Iranian ones) because they don’t want Trump dead, but because they don’t want their side to suffer the political fallout and they don’t want Trump to pick up political sympathy.

It’s not the murder they object to, it’s taking the blame for it, and the victim becoming a martyr.

As if they really care at this point?!

And so New York City Councilwoman Vickie Paladino (R-Queens) quite correctly observed that “Democrats have declared the entire electoral process illegitimate because they sometimes lose elections. They are prepared to torch the entire country in order ‘neutralize red states’. This is the language of civil war.” Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch noted thatTop of FormBottom of Form “@KamalaHarris doesn’t think it is a ‘bad idea’ to destroy our constitutional republic.”

Indeed. That is exactly the case. And it’s not just Harris alone. The Democrats in general have now refined their hatred of America’s Founding Fathers to include a determination to destroy the system they built. They constructed a vehicle for limited and responsible government. But for Harris and the left, it’s all about raw power: getting it, and keeping it. Forever.

Because they will never just leave us alone to live our lives in peace, It's us or them. Either we submit or die. And neither of those options are acceptable to me. So unless there is a massive sea change in their worldview an stranglehold on the cultural/educational system as well as preventing them from attaining any position of political power, from president all the way down to town dog-catcher, for at least a generation, we face an existential threat, my friends.

Have a good day.
