The Morning Report

The Morning Report — 8/9/24

Good Morning Kids. So on the one hand you've got the Einsatz-groupies cheering on the purging of Jews from the Democrat Party, even of the Jews by birth only, who maybe find religion once a year with a bowl of matzo ball soup, like Josh Shapiro:

With questions lingering about his military service, people are starting to wonder why Kamala Harris picked Tim Walz as her running mate. One group that appears to be taking credit for the decision is the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). . . you see the DSA’s connection to the anti-Israel protests, it should come as no surprise that Walz attended an event for the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and was pictured with the founder of Students for Justice in Palestine.

On the other hand, you have skeletor Carville going Cori Bush on Lumpy Fetterman:

Democratic strategist James Carville on Thursday warned Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman he will take action against him for allegedly undermining his state’s governor, Josh Shapiro, by lobbying against him to be Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate. . .
. . . “The other thing is, is one of the great backstabbers in modern Democratic politics is John Fetterman, but I’m going to wait ’til after the election to deal with him. But he’s somebody that must be dealt with, and must be dealt with in real terms,” Carville said.

Maybe Carville has some connections at the Secret Service. If he can just maneuver Fetterman and his goiter to Butler PA. It is his home state, after all.

Obviously, one aspect of this is the electoral side of things where some fear losing the must win commonwealth of PA while others seem to think that Trump has a shot at picking off some of the Democrat blue firewall states like perhaps Michigan or even Minnesota. Of course the now in your face Jew-hatred fueled by the massive influx of muslims into those particular states and the rest of the country over the past several decades, is driving this rift. On top of it is the multi-decade long march through the institutions that has eroded societal cohesion, culture and the moral fiber of the nation, plus the will to power of the party that can see it gaining the ultimate prize: absolute power, forever.

Standing in the way, is not merely Donald Trump: it's you and me and those like us who want to make America not great again, but AMERICA AGAIN. More scary for the Democrats are those who in their gut, despite all the propaganda and brainwashing know that what they are living through is wrong. That is the key to putting on the brakes.

If not, we're dangerously close to being imprisoned or worse for speaking out, as we have already experienced over here, with the J-6 political prisoners still rotting away in the Garland Archipelago and those who protest peacefully at abortion abbatoirs having their lives ruined.

Curry, a devout Christian and pro-life advocate, was targeted by the Biden administration after he sat and stood in front of the doors of the Northland Family Planning Clinic in Sterling Heights, Michigan. In an interview with The Daily Wire on Wednesday, he said that he couldn’t imagine getting a prison sentence.

Look what's happening in Britain for those protesting the Islamization of Old Blighty in the wake of the stabbing attacks on children, on top of the decades of Muslim male rape gangs exposed by Tommy Robinson and others. This madness is coming here, and via the erased borders is already here with murders, rapes and crime committed by unvetted illegal alien foreigners. And you best not say boo in protest. Lest you be targeted for termination. Like in Britain.

A Labour spokesman has said Jones is now suspended, saying, “This behavior is completely unacceptable and it will not be tolerated.”Reform Party leader Nigel Farage MP questioned why Jones had not been arrested for inciting violence, saying on social media, “This man should be arrested. If not, we know there is two-tier policing.”After substantial public pressure, London’s Metropolitan Police announced Jones had been arrested “on suspicion of encouraging murder and for an offense under the Public Order Act.”Many have complained of two-tier policing under Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer. Police have confronted anti-mass migration protests, motivated by the mass stabbing of young girls by a migration-background teen in full riot gear, arresting hundreds.However, armed mobs of Muslim counter-demonstrators are being left largely unchallenged as they search out white people and attack them in pubs and on the street while also threatening journalists.

If what you saw on college campuses in the wake of the 10/7 Hamas pogrom on Israel isn't a clue, surely the 2020 burning looting and murdering across the USA was. And AWOL TIm Walz threw gasoline on the fires by doing nothing to stop it at the source, Minneapolis, while Kamala was funding the bailing out of the urban terrorists at the heart of the destruction.

Add Islam to the mix of racial grievance politics/brainwashing, and we are in for some interesting times!

They are at the beck and call of this junta as their official/unofficial brownshirts should the election not go their way, or worse, should the election indeed go their way, by hook or crook. Meh, they already have he DOJ, FBI and CIA in their back pocket.

Have a good weekend.

ABOVE THE FOLD, BREAKING, NOTEWORTHY

The origins of the press’s Nixon hatred go back to his earliest political days. From the moment he first ran for Congress in 1946, he was a staunch anti-communist, committed to fighting Marxists both abroad—and at home. And rather than cast his lot safely with the Establishment, he stood for and with the American people—whom he later famously called the Great Silent Majority—and championed them and their interests ahead of those of permanent Washington. He was America First long before Donald Trump came down the escalator in Trump Tower. This forever earned him the deep, abiding enmity of anti-American agitators, communist sympathizers, and garden-variety leftists everywhere, including in the press, among the Democrats, and in what we now know as the Deep Stat

“There’s no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech, and especially around our democracy,” Walz continued. “Tell the truth where the voting places are, who can vote, who is able to be there. And watching some states continue to weaken the protections around the ballot I think is what is inspiring us to lean into this.”

THE ECONOMY, STUPID
We fully expect the media to cover for Harris, just as it does with every Democrat candidate. They know that if they ignore the economy as much as possible and downplay its low points when it isn’t possible, they can carry Harris all the way to the White House. That can be avoided, though, if Trump and the GOP repeatedly show how this junta has wrecked what under Trump had been a thriving economy.
Team Trump Has To Relentlessly Hammer On The Failed Biden-Harris Economy
In 2023, Minnesota’s annual state GDP growth ranked 43rd in the country. Over the course of last year, the state’s economy only grew at a minuscule rate of 1.2 percent from 2022. This was nearly twice as slow as the national Biden-Harris economy, which saw annualized growth at 2.5 percent.The Minnesota Chamber of Commerce notes that despite the overall U.S. recovery post-COVID-19 pandemic—itself hampered by the high-inflationary policies of the Biden-Harris government—the state’s recovery has lagged even further behind. According to the Chamber, “…the state recovered and grew at just half the rate of the U.S. and ranked in the bottom 20 states across most major economic growth indicators.”

The obvious question has to do with the reason governments have invested so heavily and at such expense in forcing so radical and risky a policy as the complete transformation of the auto sector and the introduction of EVs known to be unreliable, dangerous, and inefficient. After all, the automotive industry is a key element in national prosperity. According to the Alliance for Automotive Innovation, the standard vehicle manufacturing automotive ecosystem “drives $1 trillion into the U.S. economy each year—nearly 5 percent of GDP— and creates 9.6 million jobs coast to coast and $105 billion in exports. Every direct job in vehicle manufacturing supports 10.5 additional American jobs. More than $220 billion in federal and state revenue is generated annually by the manufacturing, sale, and maintenance of automobiles in the U.S.”

42 David Harsanyi says,
The Democrats’ new presidential candidate, who’s never won a single primary vote, might have been crowned but hasn’t given a real interview or even an extemporaneous political statement since Democrat bigwigs pushed Biden aside. In a functioning liberal republic, this would be pretty big news.

The last time the vice president of the United States had a press conference was December 2023.

Kamala hasn’t spoken to a hostile outlet in years. She won’t even take questions from her fans.

84 NASA did not invent GPS

The development of GPS began in the 1960s as a U.S. military project called “NAVSTAR GPS.” The system became operational in the 1970s, and it was initially intended for military applications such as navigation, targeting, and troop movements. The U.S. government began allowing civilian access to GPS signals in the 1980s, and it has since become an integral part of many civilian applications, including navigation in vehicles, phones, aviation, maritime, and more.

113 Last nights TimCast was a must watch, he had a former FBI guy on who laid out how the FBI cultivates and creates plots to meet metrics and more importantly get financial bonuses for meeting goals that can reach into the 5 figures.

He also said that the FBI brings in DHS whenever it can because unlike the FBI that has a semblance of rules and protocol, DHS has none and can pretty much do whatever the f**k they want.

Something that was also revealed that I didn't know was the so-called Iranian guy who was allegedly plotting to assassinate Trump was on a no fly list, the FBI enticed him and actually sponsored his VISA, and watched him for months before the rolled him up.

I think this dovetails nicely on what people believe was the bigger plan to kill Trump and blame it on the Iranians.

We all need to pray daily for not only Trump but also for Vance, Desantis, MTG, Boebert, Gaetz, Youngkin (who likely just put himself in the GOPe crosshairs) and so many more who are fighting the good fight, publicly and privately.

145 I haven’t watch much Olympics but I happened to see some track and field last night. Two things caught my attention and annoyed me:

1. Noah Lyles for the favorite for 200m gold; he got bronze. Then after the race it was revealed that he tested positive for covid the day before. It’s amazing he won bronze while sick but what bothered me: 3 to 4 short years ago we had to shut the world down for covid and now… no biggy. They want us to forget how the world had to halt for a virus but now nothing
2. The womens 1500m semifinals… an American female Nikki Hiltz is non-binary (but running in the female competition… go figure). The female announcer kept referring to her as “they”.. “they stayed calm and had a sound race strategy”… they??? She’s only one person 🤡

178 Lawrence O'Donnell: Compare the tame (fearful?) behavior of reporters in Trump “press conference” to reporters behavior in Biden White House press briefings.

Trump has been given special treatment by media from day one and still gets it.

The reporters were asking softball questions, no one was confronting him. It was as if all the questions were screened. But it doesn't work anymore. He got fact checked and called a liar.

That is because those who "own" the networks make the rules. They want trump in order to continue to make Billions of dollars and they don't give a damn about anyone else!

Old Don checked "notes" even when answering questions. It seemed like the questions were submitted beforehand, and then written down on notes, along with the answer to that question. But even then, Old Don couldn't answer them "correctly." He did his usual word salad

I have completely lost respect for the White House Press Corps. They would slouch in their seats, interrupt, and mutter under their breath with Biden. Cheato calls them stupid to their faces and they bow down to him.

198 In 2015, the National Abortion Federation, stating it was representing institutional member Planned Parenthood, sought and received a federal injunction against the release of the footage in San Francisco federal court. Nguyen, Dr. Schutt-Aine, and Santos have all served as Board Directors of NAF. At the same time, Planned Parenthood requested then-California Attorney General Kamala Harris’ office to seize from Daleiden the digital media containing the videos. Two weeks after a March 2016 meeting with top Planned Parenthood California officials implicated in the videos, AG Harris’ office conducted the raid on Daleiden’s home.

However, Congress had also subpoenaed the footage from CMP in late 2015. In May of this year, the San Francisco District Court finally ruled that CMP cannot be prevented from republishing any of the subpoenaed footage released by Congress.

216 I figured the FBI fabricated plots to its advantage when a long while ago (my details may be faulty) they cultivated some guy to load a couple of oil drums of fake 'explosives', supplied by the FBI, onto a small truck and drive it into some recreational place which I think was in Missouri. They waited until he pressed the red button to arrest him.
Then I started paying attention and every one of those plots involved undercover FBI agents and patsies. I haven't heard of one plot that was straight forward police work.

217 > Well, it used to mean that. Not sure it still does. Now it's "radar indicates something which might be a tornado"... probably for the best to be overcautious but I wonder if this will make people pay less attention to the warnings.
-----
Doppler radar can pickup air mass, rain, debris moving toward the radar, and away. If this occurs at the same time it typically indicates rotation in a storm. Possibly a tornado.

I have seen the graphics (I don't have one of the apps or access to a paid site that illustrates this) that are color coded. With a little patience you can begin to tell what storms can, possibly, produce or are producing tornados.

"Radar indicated" is the proper term.

The part that Rogan doesn't realize is there's only a few degrees of separation between RFK Jr and the rabid left. Being wealthy he doesn't realize how leftist issues harm, even destroy the working class.

361 >>The reason why Trump had to call his own press conference is because nobody in the media wants to talk to either him, Vance or, quite frankly, any of the candidates.

Nobody doubts they are planing to cheat but I don't find Trump calling a presser unusual. That's the normal process. It's not like the media calls a presser for candidates. If they did they might actually call one for Harris.

I'm sure the media doesn't like Trump calling a presser because he usually does very well and gets a lot of coverage. The time to worry is when Trump calls a presser and none of them show. That sure wasn't the case yesterday.

The Donks don't seem too worried about anything right now, they successfully turned an assassination attempt into a non-event, they swapped out their turnip and saddled two marxists, the media has zero desire to interrogate or question either of them, review their polices or generally inform the general public.

Biden was, essentially, the only candidate in the primaries. Then he got replaced with Harris. Harris, in her first decision as candidate, picks Walz. Then he gets replaced by a future draft pick.

Even for LIVs that's got to just scream competence and DEMOCRACY! My guess is that they're running the numbers trying to decide which option is worse.

Police have confronted anti-mass migration protests, motivated by the mass stabbing of young girls by a migration-background teen in full riot gear, arresting hundreds.However, armed mobs of Muslim counter-demonstrators are being left largely unchallenged as they search out white people and attack them in pubs and on the street while also threatening journalists.

384 Saint of the Day:

St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (1891--1942) was born as Edith Stein in Prussiafrom a devout Jewish family. She was a bright and gifted child and went on to receive a doctorate in philosophy. Despite her atheism, she was affected by several friends who displayed a great passion for the Catholic faith. One day, she came across the autobiography of St. Teresa of Avila. She read it and, after finishing it she exclaimed, "This is the Truth." Edith was baptized in Cologne, Germany in 1922. From there she taught at a Dominican school and studied St. Thomas Aquinas and other Catholic philosophers. When the rise of anti-semitism forced her to resign from a teaching post, she wrote to Pope Pius XI asking him to publicly denounce the Nazis. Discerning a call to the religious life, she became a Carmelite nun in Cologne 1934, taking the name Teresa Benedicta of the Cross after her special devotion to the Cross of Christ. When the Nazi threat grew, she and her Order transferred to a convent in the Netherlands. The Nazis eventually came for her, and she, along with her sister Rose, who was also a convert, were sent to Auschwitz. They were both killed in the gas chambers.

After killing a 9-year-old girl by slicing her throat, Alyssa Bustamante wrote in her journal: "It was ahmazing. As soon as you get over the "ohmygawd I can't do this" feeling, it's pretty enjoyable. I'm kinda nervous and shaky though right now. Kay, I gotta go to church now...lol."

In 2009, 15-year-old Alyssa Bustamante lured Elizabeth Olten into the woods, where she strangled and stabbed her to death.

She was charged and pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and armed criminal action.

For the second-degree murder charge, she received a life sentence with the possibility of conditional release in 2024.

However, due to her additional conviction for armed criminal action, even if she is granted conditional release in 2024, she will serve an additional consecutive sentence of 30 years in prison.

As a result, her earliest potential release date is in 2054, when she will be 60 years old.

Posted by: redridinghood at August 09, 2024 09:01 AM

"He's the only one who makes sense to me..." To me, hardly a solid endorsement. Sorta like he's trying to use weasel words to thread a needle and not piss off the left or right.

You wanna hear a solid endorsement listen to Elon Musk.

438 And to all of those worried about Trump's campaign, stop.

The dems have an insanely radical ticket and they're not even trying to hide it.

The media is doing what they will, but unless Trump starts his own 24/7 network, he's not going to overcome the gaslighting.

Either people fall for it or they don't.

Either the elections are free and fair or they aren't.

At this point, I cannot imagine there's much that can be done to sway people through a campaign. These debates are the only real way. I'm just fine with that.

Seriously, though...does Kamala seem like the type to admit She has a speech problem, buckle down with hours of practice and coaching to improve her speech? She's lazy, and has used sex, gender and race to as a cheat code to promotion and "success" her whole life. You think that will change now?

Mr. Trump tends be be very lose with number facts and often exaggerates his actual track record and achievement. While it may be true that when Mr. Trump glanced at the clock and noted it was 7:00 he did not determine if it was AM or PM and more importantly did not provide his current Time Zone.

We rate this as Mostly False.

This!

No need to be an asshole when quitting but also no need to go above and beyond. You and your employer have a business relationship. You’re not besties or anything. Don’t believe all that “were a family” nonsense.

To be fair, once outside, he was in the heat, sun, and humidity, and away from his competitors when going nuts...hard to spread in 10 seconds, if that, that way...

And the fact he got 3rd is pretty nuts. He might have had the world record healthy...

515 “ If I speak in the tongues[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.”

I'm curious about this, as I'm getting ready to bug out myself. I suppose I might need a reference in future, though I don't plan to work full-time once I retire. Personnel here tells me for salaried employees, four weeks is the standard notice, two for hourly; and I'm the former. No doubt they will want me to train my replacement. I'm okay with that.

If you think the past three and a half years have been bad, consider four or eight more of Harris/Walz. People who have retired may need to get back in the workforce.

546 I don’t remember his name, but back in ‘72 or ‘76, there was a Japanese gymnast who had to complete a rings event for the team to beat the Russians. The trick was he had a broken leg (presumably a fibula, because no way with a tibia break). He did the routine and stuck the landing well enough. An enormous amount of willpower.

And yeah, I remember the Klammer downhill run still today.
