The Morning Report 2/19/24

Good morning, kids. Hope you’re having a good President’s Day weekend holiday. As you probably know, I was absent for much of last week with as it turns out a not insignificant health scare. I’m not going to go into details, but thank God that so far it appears as if I came out of it relatively unscathed and able to function physically and mentally seemingly much as before. Time will tell going forward and there will be doctor visits and some tests in the near future to indeed confirm what the hell happened, and the odds of God-forbid something similar happening again. Right now, I’m on meds and things are under control.

If I didn’t before, I most certainly believe in the power of prayer because all of you who were praying for me, let me tell you, it worked (and don’t stop!). I hope this episode was indeed a one-off and with that said, I will try to resume the Morning Report to the level of quality that you expect and deserve, to the best that my energies and abilities can make it. “Thank you” doesn’t even begin to express my gratitude to my brothers from other mothers CBD and Mis Hum for doing yeoman’s work in filling in, as well as Ace and the cobs. You all honor me every single day with your time, fellowship, insights, bizarre humor and just knowing you’re all out there in those little gray boxes. It makes it all worth while, even if all you do is just read the comments!

God bless you all.

Well, it looks as if this hack in black Enorgon/Gorgon/Erdogon/Enron creep has, surprise surprise, found Donald Trump and his business guilty of somehow defrauding the public by the overvaluing of the properties under his aegis. 

When a clearly partisan judge can order Trump to pay $350 million in damages despite there being literally no victim in the financial crime he’s alleged to have committed, that’s a problem. 

While many on the left will celebrate any ruling against Trump because they hate him, some are seeing these stories for what they really are. For example, MSNBC host Katy Tur questioned the legitimacy of Judge Arthur Engoron’s ruling banning Trump from running his businesses in New York for three years.

“[The rule] doesn’t have to show the harm done. It’s not the burden. You don’t have to show that anybody was hurt by your practices. There’s nobody you defrauded specifically,” [Katy] Tur said. “They looked at 150 cases over 70 years and found there was no case where there was a ban on doing business where there wasn’t harm shown. So even though the threshold is harm shown, in the past, it has only been used to ban someone doing business when it’s been shown that somebody was hurt. Say you’re selling cosmetics that are poisoning you. Is it fair to go after Donald Trump like this in this environment, is my question?”

Even Tur could see that the judge was just using the opportunity to punish Trump. . . The bank Trump was alleged to have defrauded even testified in Trump’s defense. So, there was no victim and no actual crime. At least one person at MSNBC could see what’s really going on.

And yet. With that as well as the sturm und drang over Fani “Gotta Be Da Butt Bob” Willis clear corruption, misappropriation of funds and other abject criminality in her prosecution of Trump over supposed attempts to overturn/interfere with the 2020 election results in GA, which to my mind were all completely above board and well within his right to do but let’s not bother about legal niceties, the law fare being hurled against him from Soros DA Alvin Bragg in NY almost gets lost in the sauce:

Special counsel Jack Smith and prosecutor Fanni Willis claim Trump “unlawfully interfered with the 2020 presidential election by trying to enlist state and federal officials in his efforts to stop Biden from taking office,” according to Reason.com’s Jacob Sullum. 

But Trump’s claim of immunity isn’t quite as “wild” as some on the left suggest. Presidential immunity was designed to prevent “frivolous, politically motivated criminal charges against former presidents,” as Sullum points out.

That might not be the case entirely with the Smith and Willis cases. After all, there are statutes that may have been violated.

The three-judge appeals court hearing Trump’s immunity claim found the argument unconvincing. The court ruled that “the danger” Trump perceived “appears slight” given prosecutors’ “ethical obligations” and “additional safeguards,” such as “the right to be charged by a grand jury upon a finding of probable cause.”

So, trust Jack Smith. Trust Fanni Willis because they’re prosecutors and wouldn’t dream of putting their thumbs on the scale of justice, right?

In the hush money case, District Attorney Alvin Bragg is taking Trump to trial not for committing a crime but for interfering with the 2016 election by lying about his affair with Daniels and paying to cover it up. 

Falsifying business records becomes a felony, punishable by up to four years in prison, when the defendant’s “intent to defraud” includes “an intent to commit another crime or to aid or conceal the commission thereof.” What was the other crime? Bragg claims Trump “violated election laws” when he instructed Cohen to pay Daniels. Which election laws? Bragg so far has refused to say. “The indictment doesn’t specify them because the law does not so require,” he told reporters last year. . . 

. . . Bragg came up with 32 meaningless charges just to pile on the potential felonies. His reasoning is that one of them ought to stick and give him a big notch on his tomahawk.

Bragg may actually have done Trump a favor. The Stormy Daniels hush money trial begins March 25. It’s possible that Trump could be found not guilty on all charges, immediately leading to the perception that the other cases against Trump are equally as frivolous and accept Trump’s view that these are all political prosecutions. 

Well, in a sane world, perhaps this all would be a house of cards that will come crashing down on the Dems. But in a sane and just world, none of these charges ever would have been brought and the 2020 election never would have been stolen. And not being in a sane world means beyond the prosecution it’s the judges and juries that are as equally corrupted as those who weaponized the law against an innocent man, and by extension those who support him. 

As of right now, 2024 will be a rematch of 2020. Except this time, the nation has been dragged so far down on every level that even some hardcore Democrat loyalists are shrieking ¡no mas!, at a minimum only focusing on the vegetable-in-chief but perhaps more broadly on the Democrats in general. That remains to be seen and of course it will take a political party and movement that is smart enough and really willing enough to point out the differences 24/7/365 from now until the end of time.

Love Trump, hate Trump, wish it was someone other than Trump, forget it. It’s Trump. Warts and all, he is the rallying point. Get behind him and make the case for what he represents, which is us. America. And our last chance before the whole shithouse goes up in flames. 

There is a clear choice looming in the presidential election of 2024 and the clarity of that decision becomes more obvious every day as the United States government self-destructs, RINOs continue to accelerate the growth of the Uniparty, the border remains open, billions are funneled into the black hole of Kyiv and a third world war has never looked more palatable to the madmen who run defense policy. 

Trump looks like the only rational choice to make.

What passes for government in America must be taken off life support. 

President Joe Biden appears to be only vaguely aware of his circumstances and only partly conscious at times. While Biden attempted to welcome King Abdullah II of Jordan to the White House, the president seemed only barely there. His brief monologue was reminiscent of a Foster Brooks routine from a Dean Martin Roast as he rambled on and actually thought he saw his former boss, President Barack Obama, in the audience. It was too much even for uber-liberal Jon Stewart who tore into Biden’s obvious dementia. 

If you’ve never laughed at Stewart in your life – and I hadn’t – this bit might provoke at least some mild hilarity. 

But the Senate is demented too. Last Sunday, Democrats and RINOs teamed-up to create an aid bill that was so monstrous in its proportions that it beggars belief that there are this many idiots sitting in the upper chamber collecting their salaries and watching the country descend into bankruptcy while they fund foreign wars that the United States cannot even afford to watch as an interested bystander. 

But there was Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and his bosom pal Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) declaring some kind of victory as the Senate passed this laughably corrupt “legislation” 67-27. There were 18 RINOs who joined their Democratic partners in passing this aid bill on a Super Bowl Sunday of all days. . . 

. . . [J.D.] Vance also noted that the bill contains a “kill switch” that would force a Trump presidency to continue to send money to Ukraine. 

But if you think this is crazy, consider that this odious bill has been sewn to another legislative cadaver to create a Frankenstein monster of legislative decay. 

The “border security” bill is attached to the “aid” package and the entire monstrosity is headed back to the House of Representatives. 

The border bill that will do nothing to seal America’s southern border only served to remind Americans that the craven and venal politicians taking their orders not from Americans but from lobbyists are not concerned about an invasion of illegals but about seeing Ukrainians and Russians killed as the NATO syndicate continues to expand. 

Fortunately, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), whether for fear of losing his job or not, is saying this $118 billion gift from the Senate is “dead on arrival.”

Is this any way to run a government – democratic or otherwise? 

The Democrats have tried to eliminate Trump by whatever means necessary. The FBI and the Department of Justice continue to persecute him. The federal bureaucracy is actively planning to undermine and potentially defeat his presidency on their expectation – get this – that he will use his office to persecute his political enemies. Of course this has been reported by the legacy media as another example of how the Deep State is going to save us from another Trump presidency.
