The Morning Report 9/13/24

Good Morning Kids. Happy triskaidekaphobia day. Your irrational fear of a 13-sided Triscuit is baseless. As is my Claude Rains shocked face at quite a few of the headlines. Considering the times in which we live and all that we have witnessed, so many things should neither shock nor surprise, but they certainly are nonetheless revolting in the extreme.

I mean, really!

It’s funny just how insanely wealthy our “public servants” are. This is the kind of thing you expect from European royalty, not former American government officials. But how much of a difference is there really?

Jewelry, political mementos and a “stunning collection of American art” once belonging to Sen. Dianne Feinstein are hitting the auction block.

The “Legacy of a Stateswoman” auction from Bonhams, happening Oct. 8 in Los Angeles, will include some of the California Democrat’s most beloved — and glitzy — personal items.

“Legacy of a Stateswoman”. How classy. The legacies of elected officials were supposed to be their deeds. In Feinstein’s case, the legacy was clinging to power and a $65,000 diamond ring.

Among the more than 70 baubles and jewels up for auction is a “dazzling 4.14 carat diamond ring flanked by tapered baguette diamonds,” which is expected to fetch as much as $65,000.

Feinstein, like many Democrats (take a look at the scandal starting to swirl around Eric Adams, Kathy Hochul and others in NYC and state) and quite a few Republicans (Hello Mitch McYertle and his ancient Chinese secret of a wife) are to some extent in the pocket of the Red Chinese. And Feinstein’s chauffeur in her employ for decades was an agent of the CCP. Hello Eric Yum-Yum Swalwell! Of course, there’s nothing like the perpetual, general domestic graft coming at Congress from K street and elsewhere that can fatten a politician’s bank account in no time flat. They either retire or get carried our of the Rotunda in a flag-draped coffin with upwards of five extra zeros at the end of their balance sheets than when they ran for office as mere concerned citizen champions of Joe six-pack and the American dream. 

Meh, I wasted way too many pixels on this.  Of course I know your jaw will just hit the floor with this revelation that is second only to what we saw watching Geraldo Rivera cracking open Al Capone’s vault:

However, there are reports now that an ABC News whistleblower is about to come forward with evidence that Kamala was given sample questions before the debate. . . The reports appear to originate from this post from an X/Twitter user who says he or she will release “an affidavit from an ABC whistleblower regarding the debate.” “I have just signed a non-disclosure agreement with the attorney of the whistleblower,” the post claims. “The affidavit states how the Harris campaign was given sample question which were essentially the same questions that were given during the debate and separate assurances of fact checking Donald Trump and that she would NOT be fact checked. Accordingly, the affidavit states several other factors that were built into the debate to give Kamala a significant advantage.”

Do tell, really?:

A recent fluff piece on ABC’s Lindsey Davis in the LA Times not only proves this to be fact, but she’s bragging about their behind-the-scenes plan to ensure Trump was not able to end Harris’s campaign the same way he did President Joe Biden’s at the CNN debate in June.

“In an era in which misinformation spreads fast and furious, Davis’ real-time fact check cut through the proceedings like a sharp blade,” the LA Times wrote. “Davis, wearing pink glasses while speaking to The Times over breakfast at the Ritz Carlton in Philadelphia, said the decision to attempt to correct the candidates was in response to the June 27 CNN debate between Trump and President Biden, whose poor performance led to his exit from the race.” The outlet added that in the weeks leading up to the debate, everyone involved at ABC played out “various scenarios” in table read-like sessions to ensure their ability to “fact check” in real time to avoid a redo of Trump’s debate against Biden.

And if it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, they’re on it like a Haitian on voodoo!

In a media advisory, the secretary of state’s office noted, “The office’s Election Integrity Unit recently concluded an investigation into the origins of an illegal voter registration form translated into the Haitian Creole language. The Clark County Board of Elections reported this form to our office after rejecting its submission by a local applicant.” 

In a memo to election officials, Hun Yi, director of investigations for the Secretary of State’s Public Integrity Division, said, “The Board confirmed they’ve only received one of these unauthorized forms, but they rightly recognized it as illegal and worked with my team to track down its source with the help of a county government assistance office.”

“The form was erroneously included among others outsourced to a foreign language translation service. It garnered national attention considering the high number of Haitian refugees that have recently migrated to the Springfield area, and it serves as an important reminder that boards and designated voter registration agencies should be vigilant about the use of forms submitted to their office,” Yi added. 

Clark County is home to Springfield, Ohio, where as many as 30,000 Haitians have unexpectedly migrated—most of them semi-legally after the Biden-Harris administration extended Temporary Protected Status to 300,000 Haitian migrants in June. 

The mass migration to Springfield has taxed hospitals, schools, and social services as the population went from around 60,000 to more than 80,000 overnight.

For the life of me, I can’t understand anyone having kittens over this. Oh wait, phrasing. Bad Juju (gris-gris?), from me, which makes me a bad Jew Jew. And just before the High Holidays! Oh the humanity.

Have a nice weekend.
