The Morning Report 7/3/20

Good morning, kids. The weekend is here along with the 244th birthday of the United States of America. Tragically, the word “United” is very much in doubt, perhaps more than at any other time in our history. Strange, and rather ironic that it lands so close to the anniversary of my uncle’s death in battle on Saipan. Given the situation we find ourselves in, you can imagine some of my emotions as I lit his “yahrzeit” (memorial) candle.

A yahrzeit is supposed to be a time of peaceful, somber reflection and remembrance. But within a few seconds of striking that match, I could not help but feel utter hatred and loathing, not so much for the blind pig-ignorant rabble burning, looting and killing but their leaders who have usurped and twisted the meaning of the words truth, justice and freedom – our very identity – to justify subjugation and destruction. The gargantuan lie of self-proclaimed oppression and victimhood while oppressing and victimizing what are supposed to be one’s fellow citizens as evil demons and monsters to be eliminated is beyond my capacity to describe the sheer gall of the presumption. Stonewall Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Junipero Serra, Teddy Roosevelt, Christopher Columbus or even Mahatma-freaking-Gandhi – whether crude, spray-painted epithets or worse, the government-sanctioned removal, the demonization and erasure of our history is an abomination. Worse are the censorship and outright persecution of those who dare utter an opinion against this madness, and worse still, millions more who are scared into silence. 

Antifa and BLM, dangerous as they are, are not the instruments of our doom; it’s going to be corporate America, now occupied not by bedraggled citizens – now ex-citizens – of CHAZ-CHOP, but by equally brain-damaged stooges with Ivy League degrees and C-suite titles that potentially will bring us to our knees. Things like Nike no longer selling Washington Redskins merchandise may very well lead to the rapid demise of that team’s name in a way that several decades of petitions never could have. And that’s just one incident. When you consider the terrifying prospect of China’s “social scoring,” which our very own Google had a big hand in developing, being implemented here – and it may already be implemented – that is how 315 million of us will be made to care by a relative handful of insurrectionists. Couple that with one political party that is a de-facto enemy alien entity and another that is pretending to defend the Constitution, as well as a thoroughly corrupt bureaucracy and courts, propaganda-spewing media and brainwashing mills for schools and we have ourselves a situation.

That is the real desecration. That is akin to defecating on my uncle’s memory and I cannot accept it. While despite the gloom and doom of the headlines I feel that President Trump will still prevail come November, we will still be a nation divided. The terror campaign as well as the economic front and psychological warfare that will be waged on him and us in the next four years will make the first go round seem like a picnic. And G-d help us if he loses. That said, and assuming victory, the question is what lies ahead at 12:01 PM on January 20th, 2025? Just like the distance between now and this November is both an eternity and a blink of an eye, so too is the former time frame.

In any case, all I can say is have courage, keep the faith, live for the joys and surprises life brings us, and preserve, protect and defend the memory of those who came before us. That is the America that is at stake. The collective memory of what was and what should be.

Happy Fourth of July. To independence, once again.

Given the state of the union on this Independence Day 2020, I take you back to April of 1976 for a little bit of hope and a powerful metaphor.

  1. OT: Anyone else having problems with AoSHQ getting buggy and canceling out on iPhone?
    Thanks for the availability here.

  2. Buggy? I can’t even register and get on Ace. Tried several times, even had the help of a long-time ‘ron, but no dice. Any help would be appreciated.
