The Morning Report 5/13/20

Good morning, kids. Wednesday, and another grim milestone of yet another day of America held hostage. 

In thinking about Dr. Anthony “Falsie” Fauci’s performance in the Senate yesterday, two movies popped into my head. The first is Dr. Strangelove. Whatever Dr. Falsie’s personal politics may be, and there is ample evidence that he is a big-time Clinton booster and all-around leftist of the true-believer variety, he is a technocrat. I think his entire professional life has been so utterly focused on science that he has essentially become blind to the human and societal considerations and consequences of the decisions he makes. But that’s where things come full circle because throughout history, and especially in the last century, science has been perverted in the pursuit of political aims that resulted in the deaths of millions. And that has been a foundational principle of Leftist politics here and abroad for a very long time.

No, I am not stating that the good doctor is the second coming of Josef Mengele. But his mindset, and more accurately the mindset of the Left with its deification of all-too-human “experts” in white coats in service of “the greater good” of an all-powerful State ultimately will lead directly to the crematoria of Birkenau if not challenged. These imposed lockdowns, while initially and perhaps grudgingly accepted by all of us, including President Trump, have in short order brought out the absolute worst in many of our political leaders, and not exclusively on the Left (I’m looking right at Mike DeWine). 

Millions of individuals like Shelly Luther watched their lives and livelihoods be wiped out in a matter of weeks while at the same time saw plain as day that the reasons and data behind what amounts to mass incarceration in what is effectively a global gulag were completely flawed. And yet the Fauci’s and Neil Ferguson’s of this world along with the politicians who use them as both shield and cudgel, continue to Chicken Little us to death without the least bit of shame, never admitting they were wrong. For them, it’s pride with more than a soupcon of megalomania. It’s also zealotry. Far too many scientists have allowed themselves to become the high priests of the temple of the State. The true believers have an unshakable, fundamentalist mindset that government is the cure for all of societies ills; ills which they claim are caused by individuals pursuing their own interests by themselves, for themselves and not towards some “common good.” 

Yet whenever their multi-trillion dollar social engineering schemes and five-year plans crash and burn, as they always ultimately do and spectacularly so, the blame is always cast on “the bitter clingers” and “deplorables” and not on the apparatchiks, technocrats and politicians whose con game too many have fallen for every two to four years. They can never admit to being wrong; to do so is to concede that their very perception of the world itself is wrong. So the shuttering of churches and the persecution of orthodox Jews now comes into sharp focus (I will assume the Religion of Peace peaceniks have some sort of state-sanctioned dispensation). And that is why I underscored the word “individuals” because it is the individual, his nature as a free being and the rights he is born with – not granted to him by the State – that stand in direct contravention to the Leftist notion of how the world is to be ordered. 

And that brings me to the second movie I referenced, Bridge on the River Kwai. After the past two months of this madness, I am waiting for President Trump to look up and say “what have I done?” 

Lift the lockdowns. Liberate America.

 
CHINESE CORONAVIRUS, FICTIONS AND FACTS

STRUGGLE FOR LOCKDOWN LIBERATION

It’s official, the Democrats led by the blue state governors and mayors are intent on destroying the economy to both win the 2020 election and then finish the 200-year plan to hijack the country. That said, there are some positive signs including a Michigan judge who told Whitmer to pound sand, as well as Los Angeles cops and Pennsylvania sheriffs. This cannot be allowed to go on. It’s now in the hands of each of us to organize, resist and lift the lockdowns en masse.

ECONOMIC IMPACT OF THE LUNG MARCH 

Rush Limbaugh nails it, Malig-Nancy Pelosi’s $3 trillion national suicide bill, blue states demand $1 trillion bailout; this means they will hold the entire economy hostage until red state America saves them from bankruptcy. This is permanent blackmail and must be resisted at all costs. Also, Steak ‘n Shake restaurants are going under fast.

JOE BIDEN RAPE ACCUSATION

Joey Bivalve is going to drag the Democrats down if they don’t figure out how to ditch him before November. And doing that could be equally damaging. Pass the popcorn.

SHAMPEACHMENT, CLINTON/OBAMA COUP, CONGRESSIONAL PERSECUTION, SPYGATE, DEEP STATE, MUELLER DECEPTION, 

Emmet Sullivan is a complete turd, but events may overtake his shenanigans with the Flynn case as both Obama and Biden are attracting a lot of attention vis a vis plotting the coup against Trump, Ken Starr and Rand Paul point the finger at Obama, and Discover the Networks with the full dossier on John Brennan.

DEMOCRAT-LEFTIST SCANDALS, CRIMES, CHUTZ-POCRISY, MESHUGAS

Malig-Nancy’s and Schiff-for-Brains’ prosecution of Trump tax return case an embarrassment, and Hillary raids the coffers of one of her scam “non-profits” to pay off cronies.

OFFICIAL DEMOCRAT PARTY-ENDORSED ANTI-SEMITISM

No doubt attacks are spiking like crazy but the “watchdog” group is the ADL, which is now fully corrupt and leftist, and to underscore that, I give you link number 2.

POLITICS, 2020 ELECTION

YUUUUGE wins in House special elections for the GOP, even a XiNN poll has Trump tying his best approval numbers, Dems move toward a virtual convention and virtual Milwaukee rioting, mail-in voting and ballot harvesting is on that hideous bailout bill, Kamala-Toe warms up her kneepads, and Cuck Schemer projects. Besides, Hoobert Heever may have been Republican, but he was also a Progressive, Cuck. And FDR took his failed policies and built the New Deal around them.

AMNESTY, IMMIGRATION, BORDER SECURITY

More goodies from the Helado Mas Caro battle axe…

FIRST AMENDMENT, CENSORSHIP, FAKE NEWS, MEDIA, BIG BROTHER BIG TECH 

Chi-Com propaganda fest gets cancelled after widespread mockery, Asian reporter risibly throws race card at PDT, Facebook puts on virtual burqa, mega-church pastor calls for mass civil disobedience from the pulpits, and the media already spinning the Ahmaud Arbery case.

SECOND AMENDMENT

Good news/bad news in Massachusetts, and “Contrary to the Supreme Court’s claim in District of Columbia v. Heller, the term ‘dangerous and unusual weapons’ has historically not been applied to weapons themselves, but to carrying them in an intimidating manner.”

FOREIGN AFFAIRS, INTERNATIONAL

What the hell is Israel doing with China, “on the defensive about the [Chinese] coronavirus, the Communist Party encourages a new wave of xenophobia and hatred of foreigners,” Bo-Jo a big disappointment, “most know that the Chinese city is the source of the [Chinese] coronavirus – but not that it also fuels America’s deadly fentanyl epidemic,” and a look at the controversy with Hungary PM Viktor Orban’s immigration and national emergency policies.

DEFENSE, MILITARY, SECURITY AFFAIRS

Deport every Chinese national working in sensitive areas (meh, all of them), way to go FBI; now let’s nail the SOB, and Go-Go Gohmert wants justice for four US soldiers Obama and Biden screwed over.

WE-ALL-SLAM-FOR-I-SLAM

Raymond Ibrahim on just one month of Muslim persecution of Christians.

DOMESTIC AFFAIRS, THE BUREAUCRACY, WASTE, FRAUD, ABUSE

Common sense, EPA a complete waste, and fleeing San Francisco.

THE ECONOMY, STUPID

Bring it all back.

CRIME & PUNISHMENT, NON-DOSTOYEVSKY

Port of Seattle cop reportedly removed from his position after his video about police officers allegedly abusing their power went viral.

HEALTHCARE

NHS a disaster that the Dems want us to emulate, and WHO wants your toddler to grow hairy palms and go blind.

EDUCATION

Sidwell Friends should just raise tuition and not soak taxpayers, and “a federal right to education would lead to a national, one-size-fits-none educational system, under which states would be powerless to object. It’s an unconstitutional disaster.”

CULTURE WARS, HITHER & YON

Funny short film by Kevin James goes viral – literally, Christian Toto on the celebs who want us to die, why do I even bother reporting on Kimmel, interesting link in light of my opening rant, and finally, Salena Zito on an amazing feat that I had not heard of. A nice distraction.
