The Morning Report — 9/5/23

Good morning, kids. The end of another Labor Day holiday, and another interminable year is now in the home stretch. Why is there a day set aside to supposedly celebrate the American worker anyway? Was it instituted as a means to blunt the influence of Communist May Day? In any case, why isn't there a holiday set aside for the American business owner? You know, the folks whose actual ideas and capital create the need for American workers in the first place?

Meh, all the questions are academic since the American business owner/entrepreneur is on the fast track to go the way of the dodo. I'm not necessarily a special pleader for corporate America. Certainly not the corporate America of the 21st century which, hand in hand with government (or with a gun to its head in many instances) helped sell out the American worker and the American dream and ship it overseas. There's a lot of blame to go around, but at the end of the day it's the average American small business owner who took it in the neck. And the American labor movement, that is the unions, sold their souls to the Democrats for votes in what is proving to have been merely a temporary alliance of convenience. Millions of foreign invaders who are "doing the jobs Americans refuse to do" (how I loathe that bromide) are proof positive that union card-carrying Joe Sixpack was sold down the river ages ago.

Speaking of Joes, there's old Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants hopped up on Aricept and prune juice spritzers Q6H out in Pennsylvania bashing Trump, probably the only president in modern American history (now concluded) who actually did create thousands of jobs via his entrepreneurship, as well as his presidency via his energy, tariff and regulatory policies, instead of the phantom ones that politicians and political parties boast about, claiming Trump "didn't build a damn thing." I'll not excerpt any pull quotes to spare you, gentle reader, from boiling your blood so early in the morning.

The unmitigated gall of this shambling perverted criminal maniac is just something to behold, especially in context to his bringing the entire weight of the national criminal justice apparatus to bear on Trump, in an effort to wipe him out politically, financially and personally.

Meh. Bleating vegetable's gonna bleat, right? The tragic truth is that the American economy is circling the bowl if it hasn't been flushed down the shitter completely by now. And that is a direct result and sole responsibility of the illegitimate occupant of the White House and the evil bastards who installed him in it via the madness of "green energy," "modern monetary theory" and "open borders."

On Monday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Lead,” UAW President Shawn Fain discussed endorsing a candidate in the 2024 presidential race and stated that there are issues with workers possibly being left behind in the transition from internal combustion engines to electric vehicles, and stated that “20% of the powertrain workers in the Big Three stand to lose their jobs down the road” if that transition occurs. He also argued that “you can’t call this a just transition if you’re going to go from $32 an hour wages down to $16 an hour.”

Host Bianna Golodryga asked, “So, is an endorsement contingent upon a deal with the administration on these specific asks that you have?”

Fain answered, “We’ll see. It’s — there’s a lot of work to be done still. But, I mean, naturally, all of these things are a big part of it. Again, workers can’t be left behind in this transition. When we talk about the EV transition, you’re talking about 20% of the powertrain workers in the Big Three stand to lose their jobs down the road if we go from [internal combustion] engines to the battery power. And you can’t call this a just transition if you’re going to go from $32 an hour wages down to $16 an hour.”

Meh. He'll endorse him, or whoever the ham sammich-du-jour will be put in Biden's place should political expediency dictate he be ejected from the top of the ticket. As far as the constituents are concerned, at some point they're going to have to understand the classical definition of insanity, vis a vis, voting straight ticked Democrat every two to four years and what it has meant to them and their families in real terms, not the bullshit being shoved into their ears and eyeballs from CNN, their shop stewards and union bosses.

Not that even a sudden and massive shift, welcome as it might be, from traditional Democrat voters suddenly having the scales fall from their eyes and being completely deprogrammed from the "progressive" death cult will have an effect. Not if elections remain "fortified" to produce the "correct" outcome. And as of this writing, I see nothing on the horizon to indicate that that situation will fundamentally or even marginally change. Even if it did, and by some miracle Trump (the likely nominee as of this writing) or any other GOP candidate were to actually win the general election, the fist inside the illusory glove of American government, the Deep State bureaucracy, still dictates policy and law.

So here we are, not even three years into a nightmare that actually began nearly four years ago with the lockdowns – and you better believe they're angling for that yet again.

Victor Davis Hanson has an extensive, and depressing, recap of the action so far. Here's the gravamen of his discourse, but do read the whole thing for all the gory details.

. . . Obama’s unfufilled ambitions set the stage for the Biden administration—staffed heavily with Obama veterans—to complete the revolutionary transformation of the Democratic Party and country.

It was ironic that while Obama was acknowledged as young and charismatic, nonetheless a cognitively challenged, past plagiarist, fabulist, and utterly corrupt Joe Biden was far more effective in ramming through a socialist woke agenda and altering the very way Americans vote and conduct their legal system.

Stranger still, Biden accomplished this subversion of traditional America while debilitated and often mentally inert—along with being mired in a bribery and influence-peddling scandal that may ultimately confirm that he easily was the most corrupt president to hold office in U.S. history.

How was all this possible? . . .

. . . the revolution is not so much political as anarchist. Nothing escapes it—not ceiling fans, not natural gas cooktops, not parents at school board meetings, not Christian bakeries, not champion female swimmers, not dutiful policemen, not hard-working oil drillers, not privates and corporals in the armed forces, not teens applying on their merits to college, not anyone, anywhere, anytime.

The operating principle is either to allow or to engineer things to become so atrocious in everyday American life—the inability to afford food and fuel, the inability to walk safely in daylight in our major cities, the inability to afford to drive as one pleases, the inability to obtain or pay back a high interest loan—that the government can absorb the private sector and begin regimenting the masses along elite dictates. The more the people tire of the leftist agenda, the more its architects furiously seek to implement it, hoping that their institutional and cultural control can do what ballots cannot.

What to do, what to do. As bad as things are, they'r still going to have to get a lot worse before we get to Ceaucescu or Tahriri Square level of desperation. That's a testament in a way to how insulated and resilient our economy is despite the massive, multi-trillion-dollar hits on it. Worse in a way is our society and culture which in a sense have suffered even more than our economy by orders of magnitude. Maybe that is the collapse that sends ordinary people into the streets. Then again, the cadres of Antifa, BLM and the transexual-homosexual perverts with the impenetrable deflector shield of a weaponized criminal justice system on their side, giving them the green light to beat us senseless "until our morale improves."
