The Morning Report — 6/ 9 /26

DemSmother.jpg


Good morning kids. There certainly is a lot of attention on California and Los Angeles in the wake of the primary elections, and not just because President Trump called out the in-your-face Democrat election rigging which was and is plain to see in real time.

“I have to tell you, they’ve probably got the worst election system of any state in the country. It’s as if they set out to design it so that it would be easy to cheat and easy to steal elections,” he said, noting that the Golden State has banned voter ID while they “mail ballots to every single registered voter in the state.” “They don’t do anything, I mean, hardly anything to clean up their voter rolls. So, like, in Los Angeles, you talk to anybody who lives there, and they will tell you if they live in condos and apartments, they’re probably receiving or have received ballots in the mail for people who don’t live there,” he said, highlighting the magnitude of this issue, surmising that some individuals receive multiple ballots. “People have testified to that. I mean, it’s just one thing after another like that,” he said, noting that it does not end there, as the state will count ballots that come in for seven days after Election Day, with a 22-day “cure period” for ballots with issues such as a missing signature. Even then, the so-called “fix” is lacking.

Hello Hans von Spakovsky, 2020 is on the phone and would like a word with you! But, while this third-world fraud is certainly horrendous, it does make me wonder why the deepest of deep blue hellhole cities' and states' Democrats even have to worry that they could actually lose an election — Gray Davis and Arnold Schwarzenegger notwithstanding - not that they accomplished anything that even for a moment stopped the Leftists' destruction of a place that once embodied the American dream but that now is the symbol of Democrat/Leftist failure. And that right there is the reason. The socialist delusion has run head first into the brick wall of reality for all to see, most tellingly the younger generations who have been Pied-Pipered and brainwashed into true believers but are more and more waking up from the delusion.


The problem with the Gen Z new age socialist frame of thought is that they have no means of production of their own. Put plainly, there are no such things as socialist means of production or economic market tools; if so, what are they? To Gen Z, putting private property in someone else's hands and tweaking the economy to their benefit sounds workable, but the basic reality is very scary: they are under the impression that a socialist economy will solve their problems, and everyone else's for that matter, because in their minds all you have to do is control prices, increase minimums, put a cap on this, overtax the other, overregulate this and that, confiscate wealth, and so on. Yet here is the red pill: the previously listed points are capitalist means of production for a market economy; without a socialist means of production, none of the utopian ideas are workable.

Of course the abject incompetence in the wake of the Pacific Palisades wildfires on top of the crime and economic dislocations of open borders have also opened eyes, the attacks on ICE and police notwithstanding, but far too many have taken a bite out of that reality sandwich and evidently are not liking the taste. And so, Newsom , Bass and the Democrats have deployed the fraud machine tonsure California stays blue, and that there is not even the most minuscule chance of losing the state nationally in '28 and possibly for a generation or two down the line. It's not necessarily wishful thinking on my part but just interpreting Democrat motives and mindsets in the current environment. And considering Newsom is the or a frontrunner for the top of the Democrat ticket in '28, his record speaks for itself, not just going forward but right here and now as reflected in the election theft.

California today “has the nation’s highest cost-of-living adjusted poverty rate, the highest levels of functioning illiteracy, and the worst housing affordability in the continental US,” writes Joel Kotkin, who has been chronicling California’s highs and lows for more than 40 years. “California increasingly resembles a neo-feudal state, where a handful of large companies drive the economy while the vast majority of workers endure high energy and housing costs, high taxes, and diminishing opportunity.”

Golden State government has spawned fiascos large and small. Fraudulent Medicaid spending, which made headlines in Minnesota last winter, seems likely to be even more monumental in California, whose Medicaid programs are scheduled to get $138 billion from the federal government, up $18 billion from 2024. The state subsidizes tribal ceremonies and exorcisms, gym memberships and art lessons. . . California in its golden years made the movie “Casablanca.” Today, Casablanca is better at building public works than California. The state that within six months completed two major bridges across the San Francisco Bay can’t properly route phone calls in Tuolumne County.

Taking a workable system and making it fail requires a particular talent. Reading between the lines, one sees little among California’s well-paid public-sector union ranks of the pride I once noticed in a state employee years ago. Instead, there is an eagerness to extract still more from the state’s private-sector success — SEIU is pushing a supposedly onetime wealth tax on the very rich to boost current employees’ benefits — and a complacent indifference to whether the work actually serves its intended beneficiaries. . .

. . . Will the politicians astride this rot pay a price? Harris was the Democratic nominee for president in 2024, and Newsom leads in polls for the nomination in 2028. But a countertrend may be visible in the theoretically nonpartisan June 2 primary for mayor of LA. The (sparse) polling shows LA Mayor Karen Bass way below the 50% needed to win reelection next week, and former reality TV star Spencer Pratt overtaking the left-wing council member initially expected to be her chief challenger.

Pratt’s house was burned down in the January 2025 Pacific Palisades fire, which struck as Bass (despite promising in 2002 to take no foreign trips) was headed to the inauguration of the president of Ghana. Pratt’s cheeky ads lampoon Bass’s left-wing policies, which have produced empty reservoirs and streets full of angry, drug-addicted homeless people.

Empty reservoirs and acres of homeless tents — that’s what California’s once-proud public sector has been producing.

And on the national level we have this nightmare scenario from the Democrats.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) took action “toward drafting” an affordability agenda for 2027 that puts Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) in charge of health care, and transgender-identifying Rep. Sarah McBride (D-DE) in charge of caregiving, according to multiple reports.

So, in other words smother America with a pillow, steal its wallet, then gang anal-rape its convulsing corpse. Funny how Jefries insists we're in economic freefall thanks to President Trump while a look at the headlines in the Economy Stupid section today and over the last few days debunks that bullshit totally. Yes prices are still high but the trend towards better times is unmistakeable. And paying a bit more at the pump is a very small price to pay in order to prevent an Islamic ICBM from coming down on us.

That said the madness with Iran continues and we have full coverage on that topic as well as is evidenced by the links.

Have a great day,
