The Morning Report 7/23/24

Posted on by J.J. Sefton

Good Morning Kids. Horrendous a human being as Joe Biden is (or was assuming he is still alive let alone compos mentis or compost) what the Democrat Left and the other powers that be did to him and to all of us, regardless of our politics, is every bit as disgusting as what has been done to Donald Trump vis a vis the shampeachments and kangaroo court show trials, let alone the assassination attempt.  I get no schadenfreude from it, as it is yet another indication that whatever last vestiges of our nation as founded, and any shred of decency, morality and ethics have been completely eviscerated, or are on the verge of it.

Because those who installed Biden after sabotaging and then stealing the 2020 election somehow now feel as if their hold on power and their chance to seize and cement it once and for all sense that that ultimate goal might be slipping away, for a host of reasons, felt it necessary to get rid of him via what was and is in fact a textbook coup.

The putschists who prevailed against President Biden therefore err badly in their assumptions, chief among them the belief that the office, not the man, is the singular thing conferring meaning and therefore power. This is an easily arrived-at error in the fantasyland of propositional civics, which replaces people with concepts, and in fact expects the people to conform to the concept: a coerced reversion to the pre-political state. But the truth is that a nation, contrary to propositionalism’s core thesis, is both man and law, both persons and forms. Moreover, the man and the person are the most important elements. In 1798 a predecessor in the presidency wrote to the First Brigade of the Third Division of the Militia of Massachusetts, then preparing to go to war with the French Republic, reminding its officers that “[o]ur Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” Solemn affirmations of basic rights are after all commonplaces in the constitutions and laws of nearly every autocratic society.

. . . This, the ranks of dead collectivities, is where the United States finds itself under the present regime. The coup d’état of July 21st is merely a dramatic symptom. Note the artifice of it all, shot through with the cant and strictures of propositionalism. We could list the details at length, from the rapid coordination of the involved elites, each pursuing the fiction of reaction to affairs that they themselves authored, to the overthrow of the expressed will of tens of millions of primary voters. That process now lies exposed not as mass democracy, but as mass theater. One of the minor historical ironies here is that when Joe Biden first assumed elected office — a moment in time closer to the existence of a Habsburg Emperor than to now — the American presidential-selection system was undergoing a convulsive change, from party-elder diktat mostly via caucuses, to truly democratic primaries. What we just saw in the coup was supposed to have been rendered impossible back when our grandfathers were in middle age. Now we know better. We saw, and we know.

Meanwhile Joe Biden who, despite being pulled out of the race by the powers that be is nowhere to be seen. He is after all still supposedly the alleged president. And as Benjamin Netanyahu arrived in the US neither Biden nor his presumptive replacement Kamala Harris were there to greet him. Despite the fact that this is their function, and that Israel is or at least was a staunch ally, their absence is telling. Even heads of state who visit that are not our allies, and some who are even considered rivals or enemies are traditionally met by the President.

The fact that greeting Bibi could lose the Democrats Minnesota and Michigan and the support of those who harass or assault Jews on campuses and even in the streets in broad daylight I’m sure was part of the calculus, as well as not wanting to anger their friends in Tehran.

So, Biden and Harris are absent, so who is running the show.

Meanwhile, this Kim Cheatle hack got roasted alive on Capitol Hill by the GOP and viciously and surprisingly by the Democrats. Many of whom have called for her resignation. I guess it’s good theater.

Have a good day.

  • Border Patrol Chief Jason Owens says [so-called quote-unquote] Vice President Kamala Harris, whom Joe Biden put in charge of the U.S. border crisis in March 2021, has not spoken with him since he assumed office last July. Owens’s predecessor, Raul Ortiz, who retired in May 2023, revealed this March that he “never had one conversation with the President or Vice President” during two years in office.Vice President Harris’s status as “Border Czar”—which her corporate media allies are now denying—is likely to hamstring her efforts to present her presidential candidacy as a clean break from that of Joe Biden, who endorsed her after abandoning the race on Sunday. VP Harris Has Not Met Border Patrol Chief Since He Assumed Office a Year Ago.

  • The schedule, which was released on Sunday night, has resulted in questions and speculation on social media surrounding Biden, who has not been seen or heard from publicly since being diagnosed with COVID last Wednesday. Jason Miller, Senior Advisor to former President Donald Trump, commented on Biden’s schedule, posting on X, “Kamala Harris needs to be asked if she believes Joe Biden is still competent enough to do the job of President. Next week’s schedule doesn’t give one much confidence.” Where’s Joe? [so-called quote-unquote] President’s Schedule Wiped Clean After Ending Campaign Via Letter
  • Biden, who was recently diagnosed with COVID-19, has been “self-isolating” in Rehoboth, Delaware. The source explained to the outlet that Biden was supposed to leave from Delaware on Monday and make trips to California; Denver, Colorado; and Houston and Austin, Texas. Report: Joe Biden Cancels Nearly Ten Trips After Exiting Presidential Race
  • Biden was no legislative mastermind — the idea is laughable. His buddies on Capitol Hill larded up his bills with enough fat to bribe the votes they needed in Congress. Want to know how we got so much further into debt on Biden’s watch with nothing to show for it and no end in sight?  Presidentish Joe Biden: A Look Back Without Fondness
  • While it’s not final or official yet, since Democrat President Joe Biden formally dropped out of the race on Sunday afternoon, it looks as though Vice President Kamala Harris might end up locking down the Democratic nomination. She’s raised tens of millions of dollars and won the endorsements of a vast majority of her party’s elected leaders including Biden himself. Some big names like former President Barack Obama have yet to endorse, but Harris seems well on her way to becoming the Democrat nominee. Exclusive — JD Vance: Donald Trump and I Ready for Whoever Democrats Nominate as President, VP
  • Biden, however, holds a greater negative net favorability rating of -17.5 (39.1 -56.6 percent) than Harris, according to RealClearPolitics. The vice president holds a -14.2 percent net favorability rating (38.1 – 52.3). Polling Average: Harris Has Lower Favorability Rating than Biden
  • “This lack of core convictions followed Harris into the vice president’s office.” A Candidate Without Convictions
  • From this admittedly early vantage point, it certainly looks like nobody wants to run against Trump — but that Trump is eager to run against Harris. As they’re about to say in Paris, let the games begin. It’s Official: Nobody Wants to Run Against Trump
  • It’s not exactly a secret that the Republican Party has been going through a seismic realignment of its core beliefs. And it is no secret that those are less and less the Ronald Reagan, limited government, free market, tax-cutting, deregulation, global policeman tenets. J.D. Vance was the long play — and the most disruptive choice
