The Morning Report 12/25/23

Good morning, kids, and a very Merry Christmas to you all. I thought about just shining it today but the news never sleeps so I’ll try to keep it light in terms of volume, if not, sadly in tone. So now the “Einsatz-groupies” who support the butchery and genocide of Jews first in Israel and ultimately the entire world are going after “the Sunday people,” for daring to celebrate Christmas while Gaza is about to be plowed under.

Several revolting examples took place over the weekend in a number of blue shit-hole cities and as far away as Australia, as you can see in the links. Meanwhile, an autistic Jewish kid in Vegas comes home with a swastika carved in his back, and all you can hear are crickets from the usual suspects in and out of government who perpetually shriek “Islamophobia!” at a volume to make a dead man’s ears bleed.

Speaking of the usual suspects, in the wake of the 10/7 slaughter in Israel, the Dept. of Injustice is growing alarmed at the potential for attacks here in the US. Of course, given both the wide open border where several million people from not just Latin America but all over the globe, including many Islamic countries who aren’t exactly coming here because they’re moved by Emma Lazarus’ poem, and the fact that the DOJ’s Public Enemy #1 is the American public (that is, those who are not down for the Leftist takeover) the words of DOJ apparatchik Lisa Monaco do not inspire confidence.

The complete politicization and weaponization of that department, and every agency, bureau and office of the federal government, as well as far too many segments of what we used to call the private sector, means their singular focus on ideological goals and shibboleths precludes them from performing their actual duties competently. When it comes to our national security and ultimately our personal safety, this all but guarantees disaster. 

How the hell did we sink so low? A big clue is in the tenure of the supposedly embattled Harvard president Claudine Gay, and the fact that so many people are circling the wagons of at best a manifestly incompetent nebbish, who now faces massive charges of not just plagiarism but making shit up out of whole cloth. That she should’ve been shit-canned immediately goes without saying, but how the hell was she even hired in the first place? And now, the worst radioactive, chest-burster herpes of the American body politic has emerged to come to her aid. 

One explanation for Obama backing Gay is he shares her tolerance for the pro-Palestinian Israel-haters and their woke comrades on the radical left, with whom he may well feel a kinship.

It’s easy to conceive of a college-age Obama marching in solidarity with these students as a onetime campus radical himself who would graduate to the pews of rabid “anti-Zionist” and anti-American Rev. Jeremiah Wright; pal around with the like-minded Louis Farrakhan, Bill Ayers and Rashid Khalidi; and spend eight years as president empowering Islamic supremacists Sunni and Shia while putting the screws to Israel.

Jewish Insider’s reporting suggests a more mundane explanation: Obama aimed to “keep the broader administration stable” — an administration governed by a board helmed by former Obama administration Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker, who led and championed Gay’s selection as Harvard’s president.

But Obama’s defense of Gay almost assuredly transcends sympathy for her remarks and the students for whom she spoke, concern about Harvard’s stability or a desire to effectively defend a political ally, given Pritzker’s responsibility for Gay’s presidency.

Like l’affaire Gay broadly, Obama’s intervention should be seen as a major salvo in the broader war over diversity, equity and inclusion in America’s most influential institutions. Obama is making a play to protect the DEI regime itself — a regime, already roiled by the backlash against wokeism and the Supreme Court’s strike against affirmative action in schools, critical to maintaining political power . . .

. . . DEI, in short, is a tool of power and control — engendering political and ideological conformity and the mobilization and weaponization of its cadres — the left has wielded to maximum effect as it’s taken over every influential institution. If Claudine Gay were to fall, it could topple the entire house of cards the left, led by Barack Obama, helped build.

To fire her would be to acknowledge the evil hatred of the West at DEI’s core; admit DEI elevates politics over merit, given Gay has proven to be something of an academic fraud; and therefore delegitimize the movement as a whole given Gay’s and Harvard’s symbolic and substantive prominence in it.

The DEI project falling in the academy would be cataclysmic for the left given these institutions are pivotal for indoctrinating and credentialing the next generation of leftist leaders atop society’s commanding heights. Elite schools are the left’s center of gravity, feeding power centers from Washington to Wall Street to Silicon Valley. That Obama stepped in to support Gay suggests he believes it to be a political imperative of the highest order. . . 

. . . The triumph of DEI would spell death for our republic.

Bingo. We goof on Obama as a failure, but has he really failed? His intention was to destroy us by “fundamentally transforming” the nation and he succeeded. At least, he was the figurehead who was the face of that transformation, the roots of which go back decades. Obama is as intellectually vapid as Claudine Gay. The lack of any transcripts or even record of his attendance at Columbia IIRC, is quite telling. He’s black, glib and has the hatred of 10,000 suns for everything American, western and Judeo-Christian. And he’ll stop at nothing to see his dream of destroying us realized. 

In this regard, I can’t recommend friend and friend of the blog Scott McKay’s new book Racism, Revenge and Ruin: It’s ALL Obama highly enough. It’s a very fast read but it’s excruciatingly painful to relive this record of disaster – a record that continues to this day since Obama, or whoever is pulling his strings, is the one pulling Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants’. You can also listen to our conversation with Scott on a recent podcast. 

All of that said, as pessimistic or at best realistic as I am, I will say that where there is life there is hope. We cannot know the future, and as implacable as our enemies surely are, they are not infallible. So hang in there and keep the faith.

Again, here’s wishing all of you a blessed and joyous Christmas!
