The Morning Report — 2/9/24

Good morning, kids. Once more the disgusting fiasco of a corrupt justice system as can be seen reflected in the situations now facing former president Donald Trump and current rotting vegetable of a corrupt pervert puppet Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants Biden.

For Trump, he seems to be on the verge of a significant victory as was seen at SCOTUS yesterday. With the exception of Kentanji Brown-25, all of the others at a minimum looked askance at the shyster arguing for Colorado's removal of Trump from the ballot while Justices Thomas and Kavanaugh napalmed the crap out of him. Obviously, if Trump wins this he remains on the ballot in every state. This might go 8-1 or likely 6-3. Yet if it does go that way, it would be to give Lefties ammunition to declare SCOTUS illegitimate and boost their calls to expand it. But, I do think this does go 8-1 with Affirmative Action Jackson being the lone vote because, young gifted furry and black.

In any case, the fact that they're attempting to remove him from the ballot for supposedly inciting an insurrection based on a complete wrong reading of the 14th Amendment and more to the point despite the fact that he was neither convicted nor even put on trial in the first place is disgusting. There was no insurrection, he never called for one and whatever violence took place on 1/6 at the Capitol was planned and instigated by agents provocateur or even agents themselves of the DOJ and Capitol Police. I hope this causes a domino effect in terms of the naked Stalinist show trials of Jack Smith, but with DC being a completely rigged town, the verdict is no doubt already in.

As far as Biden is concerned, yesterday was even more of a fiasco. It turned into No Reasonable Prosecutor 2: Shield the Pervert Criminal Boogaloo.

You remember Uncle Leo from Seinfeld, whose defense to shoplifting was “I’m an old man, I’m confused.” Didn’t work for him in the bookstore, but it worked for Joe Biden in the Special Counsel investigation into his deliberate retention of classified documents.

Special counsel Robert Hur has declined to prosecute [spurious] President Joe Biden for his handling of classified documents, but said Biden’s practices “present serious risks to national security” and added that Biden portrayed himself as an “elderly man with a poor memory” who would be sympathetic to a jury.“

Our investigation uncovered evidence that [spurious] President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen,” the report said, but added that the evidence “does not establish Mr. Biden’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.”

Hur’s report included several shocking lines about Biden’s memory, which the report said “was significantly limited” during his 2023 interviews with the special counsel. Biden’s age and presentation would make it more difficult to convince a jury beyond a reasonable doubt that the now-81-year-old was guilty of willfully committing a crime.

“We have also considered that, at trial, Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,” it said. “Based on our direct interactions with and observations of him, he is someone for whom many jurors will want to identify reasonable doubt. It would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him — by then a former president well into his eighties — of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness.”

. . . You can read the full report here.

Yes, of course it reeks of hypocrisy vis-a-vis Trump. I taped a segment on Jesse Kelly show that will run tonight pointing out the one obvious difference in the cases, that there’s no allegation Biden played hide-and-seek with the documents once the feds sought them (which is the allegation against Trump in the Florida case, which I have long argued is his most serious risk). But still, it’s hard not to see that in the Trump records case the feds did their best to find a reason to indict him, whereas in the Biden records case they did their best to find a reason not to indict Biden — including the Uncle Leo Defense.

Two things: First, Donald Trump is being prosecuted for alleged mishandling of documents despite the fact that as president it was his purview to declassify and keep whatever documents he wanted. And from what I understand, whatever documents were in his possession were indeed secure, the bullshit of him holding a top secret file up to a TV camera notwithstanding.

Biden on the other hand took and stored boxes of classified documents in several un-secure locations (and likely was selling them to the highest bidder), while he was Obama's vice president. And that is completely illegal as he had zero authority to do so.

Aside from the fact that being demented does not, in theory, get you off the hook as Ace detailed in his post last night, Joey's document thievery took place 10 or more years ago. So does the Uncle Leo defense still apply? Whatever his mental state back then was, it certainly was orders of magnitude more "with it" than it is today.

Regardless, Hur pulling a Comey and stating that he's likely guilty but won't be prosecuted is par for the course in Tijada, Parador, San Marcos or whatever banana republic we want to call ourselves now. And legal eagle William Jacobson referring to him as "Joey Bananas" is so perfect a name with multiple meanings I'm jealous as hell I didn't come up with it.

With the border crisis hanging around the Democrats' collective neck despite the GOPe throwing them lifelines, the economy in shambles as everyone believes their lying eyes and wallets over Karine Carpet-Muncher Pierre's claims, and multiple exploding regional wars threatening to blow up the world, they still let Joe Bananas go in front of the TV cameras — Live and unscripted.

{So-called quote-unquote "president"] Joe Biden took to the microphone for an unannounced address on Thursday night, following the release of the politically devastating Special Counsel report that said he "willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen." While the report stated that such actions "present serious risks to national security,” Biden will not face charges because he presents himself as an “elderly man with a poor memory” and it would be difficult to convince a jury he is guilty of a serious felony because to commit such a crime “requires a mental state of willfulness.” The report elaborated by pointing out he couldn’t even remember when he was vice president and didn’t even remember when his son Beau died.

The address was scheduled for 7:45 p.m. but did not actually get underway until around 8 — well past his usual 7 p.m. bedtime.  I can't explain how or why Biden's handlers felt it was a good idea to trot him out at night to talk about the special counsel report, but it did not go well. He was belligerent and defensive, and it was a terrible look. When he addressed the report claiming that he couldn't remember when his son died, it really got bad.

 "How in the hell dare he raise that," Biden said angrily, concluding that it is "none of their damn business."

"For any extraneous commentary, they don't know what they're talking about," Biden insisted, even though the report presented direct quotes. "It has no place in this report."

Biden also blamed his staff for storing classified documents in his home, office, and garage, insisting, "I take responsibility for not having seen exactly what my staff would do!" "The bottom line is the matter is now closed, and I can continue what I've always focused on: my job of being the president of the United States of America."

Making the situation worse was when he decided to take questions from reporters. Amazingly, Fox News's Peter Doocy was the first to ask a question.

"President Biden, something that the special counsel said in his report is that one of the reasons you were not charged is because, in his description, you are a 'well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory.'"

"I am well-meaning! I am an old man, and I know what the hell I'm doing," Biden insisted. "I've been president, and I put this country back on its feet. I don't need his recommendation."

"How good is your memory, and can you continue as president?" Doocy followed up.

"My memory is so bad, I let you speak," Biden said, trying to make a joke about a very serious issue.

Biden defiantly declared, "I'm the most qualified person in this country to be the president of the United States."

It got worse from there. All hell seemed to break loose as reporters shouted to get questions in.

A reporter noted that Americans have been watching him and are concerned about his age. A confused and angry Biden shouted back, "That is your judgment!" Biden defiantly declared, "I'm the most qualified person in this country to be the president of the United States."

When Biden finally had enough and told everyone he was leaving, he ended up coming back to the podium to address a question about the situation in the Middle East—and proceeded to refer to Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi as the "President of Mexico."

Whoever decided to let Joe Biden out tonight to speak to the nation should be fired.

Well, in a sane world, yes. But in a sane world, a man who was for sure mentally impaired four years ago should never have been allowed to run for office. That mirrors the complete lack of any kind of morality or humanity from Biden's wife and family. But that is quite obviously a Biden family trait passed on in the blood and even marriage. Of course, if the 2020 election wasn't rigged, Biden would've been and probably was blown out in as close to a landslide that we can have these days given the electoral landscape.

The naked, shameless will to power of the Democrats meant trotting this old pervert vegetable to be their puppet was perfectly acceptable, despite the fact that his geriatric senescence, and stumbling up and down AF-1's stairs when not shambling around aimlessly like a Roomba-Dalek that blew a fuse sent a message to friend and foe alike.

As far as the 2024 election is concerned, Biden's performance along with Hur's report are the "wafer thin mint" on top of the border catastrophe and all the rest that will only make a lot or a significant number of Democrats and anyone else with eyes to see will seal Biden's and his party's fate. The tell is the calls that have been growing for Biden to step aside going back even before yesterday's flaming farce.

However repulsed the aforementioned are by Biden, I don't think they're suddenly going to jump en masse on the Trump train. But they likely will sit this one out as their personal financial situation and the border deteriorates as they most certainly will before this coming November.

Can Trump keep his fat yap shut about 2020 and not step on his own schlong with things like calling off the tremendous culture war victory that is the Bud Lite boycott? I hope so, but there again it's hope over experience. His own big mouth is his worst enemy. Still, while for political expediency it might be best to sidestep 2020, it must not be either forgotten nor forgiven. That said, with all the show trials popping at once, it certainly is an issue that he's going to have to and of course will expound upon in the press. How he does it will either seal the deal or turn people off. I'll leave that to the experts and all of you to formulate that strategy.

Meanwhile, Joey Bananas still has the nuclear codes. And before you go off and say that the Kalorama Klown Komintern are really the ones in charge, Biden's mental state and his still functioning innate ego might lead him to cut Geppetto's strings if he feels threatened. Oh boy!

Could Joe Biden bomb Iran? There are loud calls by some members of Congress and pundits to do this in response to the surge in attacks by Iranian proxy groups against U.S. bases in Iraq and Syria and shipping in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.

Some thought it was telling last weekend when National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan refused to rule out a U.S. attack on Iran during a press interview.

But why would anyone be calling for American airstrikes against Iran? Why didn’t the massive U.S. airstrikes against Iranian-backed militias in Iraq and Syria last week and the 14 or more U.S. airstrikes against the Houthi rebels in Yemen halt their attacks?

The answer to both questions is that American deterrence in the Middle East has seriously eroded during the Biden [junta] . . .

. . . Worried about criticism from his progressive supporters, Biden and his senior national security officials have pressed the Israeli government to end the war quickly and agree to a peace plan based on the two-state solution. Israeli officials have rejected ending the war before it can guarantee Israel’s security and defeat Hamas. They have also said two-state solution peace plans are off the table due to the October 7 attack. . .

. . . There have also been press reports of growing tension between Biden and Netanyahu, including the president abruptly ending a December 23 phone call with the Israeli leader, Netanyahu repeatedly rejecting Biden’s calls for Palestinian sovereignty, and a report that Biden was running out of patience with Netanyahu.

In addition, until recently, the Biden administration did little in response to attacks on U.S. bases in Iraq and Syria by Iran-backed militias and over two dozen missile and drone attacks on Israel and Red Sea shipping by the Iran-backed Houthi rebels. . .

. . . There have also been press reports of growing tension between Biden and Netanyahu, including the president abruptly ending a December 23 phone call with the Israeli leader, Netanyahu repeatedly rejecting Biden’s calls for Palestinian sovereignty, and a report that Biden was running out of patience with Netanyahu.

These are serious questions that Congress should insist the Biden Administration answer before a possible attack against Iran. I believe that regardless of whether one believes congressional authorization for an attack on Iran is legally required, the president would be wise to seek it anyway because congressional debate and endorsement of such a serious action would give it much more credibility.

Given the Biden [junta's] efforts to appease Iran, I believe it is unlikely that the President would order an attack on Iranian territory or other offensive actions against Iran. But given Biden’s low approval ratings, I am worried that a desperate “wag the dog” attack on Iran to distract Americans from the president’s political problems at home cannot be ruled out. Congress must keep a sharp eye out for this and demand that it approve any U.S. attack on Iran or Iranian forces.

Fred Fleitz's analysis is sound, but Biden is now personally under the gun, vis a vis his obvious mental deterioration and perhaps a paranoia in his draining brain case that might lead him to do something rash.

Already the 25th amendment is being invoked by the GOP, and considering the political situation does not favor the Democrats mostly because of Biden, they might at some point soon or even during the convention signal the bullpen.

Biden I am sure will not react kindly to that. Demented or not, he knows where the skeletons are.

(And a convenient excuse to suspend elections when the inevitable mass terror attack on US soil happens - jjs)

  OHIO DERAILMENT, TOXIC CHEMICAL DISASTER

• Derailments at the top five freight railroads rose by 13 percent during the first ten months of 2023, the most recent period for which data is available. Those freight companies include BNSF, Canadian National, CPKC, CSX Transportation, and Norfolk Southern — the operator whose trains derailed in East Palestine. Legislation to address the issue — the Railway Safety Act — was introduced in the Senate in March 2023. However, the bill has faced strong opposition from railroad industry lobbyists who claim it would actually inhibit the introduction of new safety measures.

  FEMINAZISM, TRANSGENDER PSYCHOSIS, HOMOSEXUALIZATION, WAR ON MASCULINITY/NORMALCY

• "Studies also found that many youth who question their gender eventually change their minds, whereas those who are affirmed are more likely to be relegated to a life of transgenderism, with its attendant mental problems. When a University of Toronto gender dysphoria clinic followed up on its patients years later, they found that 88% were 'desisters,' or had changed their mind about being transgender — suggesting that if the clinic had performed gender surgery, the patients would have had severe regret."

• "Yeah, so because that physical anomaly has been a point of stress in my life since I can remember, and my middle name that I chose is "Dee" because my whole life I've been called 'Big D.' I'm Dee from the D. And I thank God that these 'Deez Nuts 'were extracted, and they were put into a biohazard bag. And for sh*ts and giggles I put them in a mason jar and I put them in the fridge next to the eggs."

• One trans ideologue who has withdrawn from the GDG following media scrutiny is Florence Ashley, a “transfeminine jurist, bioethicist, public speaker, and activist,” who has argued puberty blockers should be the default for young people. He had also written about his “transition” in graphic detail, describing how he has to “dilate four times a day and wash my coochie” to maintain his mock vagina, comparing the process to “taking it up the ass, minus the fear of pooping everywhere.”

• Robert Spencer: "The bleached white skeleton in her familial closet is the apparent fact that 'one of Hostin's ancestors on her maternal side was likely involved in the slave trade in colonial Spain'. . . She thought evil had not touched her or her family, but that she came from a long line of noble, brown, oppressed victims. This is what people of all colors are taught in schools today. It’s not only false, but it’s dangerous, as it leads to acts of violence against the demonized group. If the left continues on its course, and there is no indication that it won’t, such violence will be a regular feature of our unhappy land in the near future."
