The Morning Report

The Morning Report — 9/2/24

Good Morning Kids. Hope you all are all enjoying your Labor Day weekend. The big story, horrendous though it is, is unfortunately not at all surprising in the least. The dark age Islamic savages from Hamas have slaughtered 6 Israeli hostages, evidently as forces from the IDF were on the verge of liberating them. This after nearly a year in captivity. Naturally, the propaganda media complex is focused on anger in the Israeli street at Bibi Netanyahu. Whatever the fault of Netanyahu, his government and military in not only not anticipating the attack on 10/7 but in its response both in the immediate aftermath and now ongoing, I feel I am not knowledgeable enough to address.

What I can say is with absolute certainty is that the so-called "peace process" going on since the days of Jimmy Carter has done nothing but process hundreds of innocent lives into so much worm food, in the misguided (at best) hope that Israel and yet another Islamic state can live side by side peacefully. If the previous millennium and a half of Islam and the oceans of blood it has spilled in its continuous quest to conquer the world, and/or destroy it in the process didn't prove this folly, nothing ever will.

For sure this latest round of madness goes back to Obama and Biden/Harris, who along with the globalist, Jew-haters at Foggy Bottom have long sought to replace Israel as the dominant force in the region with Iran. That is, replace a nation that is not only an ally but one that is an actual free, prosperous and open and peaceful society founded on Judeo-Christian ethics and a beacon of 2,000 years of Western enlightenment with one that views armageddon as a desirable political goal in enslaving the world and eradicating 2,000 years of human advancement as embodied by both Israel and America as founded (not as it is or as it is heading).

In March, President Biden said that if Israel invaded Rafah, the last major Hamas holdout in southern Gaza, it would cross a “red line” that threatened US aid.
Asked about his statement shortly after, Vice President Kamala Harris added to ABC News, “We have been clear in multiple conversations and in every way that any major military operation in Rafah would be a huge mistake . . . And so we’ve been very clear that it would be a mistake to move into Rafah with any type of military operation.”
Now we know the tragic cost of the Harris-Biden administration’s dithering: Six dead hostages, including one Israeli-American.
Some families of the dead are blaming this loss on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for failing to secure a cease-fire, and no one can question their sorrow or resolve.
But Hamas has shown again and again that it wasn’t negotiating in good faith. The terrorists refused to return hostages unless Israel essentially surrendered, pulled out of Gaza and allowed Hamas to remain in power.
The “huge mistake” here was not failing to capitulate to Hamas, it is the US criticizing Israel rather than joining the fight.
The Biden-Harris administration could have told Iran: Force your proxy to give up hostages or pay a steep price — financially and militarily.
And told Hamas in no uncertain terms: Give up the hostages or we help Israel root you out, and pressure Qatar to stop sheltering your leader.
The very least would have been to give Israel a free hand to try to rescue its people.
We saw the heroics the IDF was capable of in June, when it freed Noa Argamani and three other hostages alive out of Nuseirat.
That these bodies were found in Rafah shows that Israel was absolutely right that Hamas despicably hid hostages among Gazan civilians, gambling that campus protesters and hesitant governments would stay Israel’s hand.
Harris and Biden played right into Hamas’ ploy, threatening Israel to appease the anti-Israel wing of the Democratic Party. They put the electoral votes of Michigan before what was right.

...Speaking of Minnesota:

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic Party’s vice presidential nominee, walked away Sunday after being asked by a reporter what his “reaction” was to the news that the bodies of six Israeli hostages had been discovered in a Hamas tunnel underneath Gaza, including one American citizen. . .
. . . Walz, holding a vanilla milkshake, was then asked by a reporter about his “reaction” to the news that the bodies of six hostages held by Hamas had been found, to which he turned and walked away.

Vanilla. Of course. Certainly not an Andy Ngo strawberry/QUickcrete special hate-shake.

While that's going on, illegal alien criminals are hijacking school buses in San Diego as well as taking over and terrorizing apartment houses in Colorado. Or is it just our racist imaginations running away with us, as Colorado's pudgy mincing governor insisted. Past tense. He's now whistling a slightly different tune:

Colorado is a zero tolerance state for illegal activity, taking over buildings has no place in Colorado, and I am confident that the city of Aurora shares this basic value and will enforce the law if it is being violated there. I urge them to do so quickly and in a thorough manner. Over the last month, I have been in regular contact with the City of Aurora and the Aurora Police Department and have offered any and all state assistance to support their efforts if requested. The state has been ready for weeks to back up any operation by the Aurora Police Department needed to make Aurora safer.
That’s a pretty big shift from Aurora officials are overreacting to an imaginary problem. Odd, though, that the state would prepare weeks ago for something that is the figment of an Aurora official’s imagination.

Of course, America's unique version of bipedal radioactive mange has this to offer:

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) advocated turning millions of illegal aliens into U.S. citizens this week and making them eligible for taxpayer-funded assistance for buying homes.
Pelosi made the remarks during a Friday interview on HBO’s “Real Time” with Bill Maher when asked about a highly controversial bill in California that would make illegal aliens eligible for $150,000 for purchasing homes — even as the state leads the country with the largest number of homeless U.S. citizens.
“What I would like to do is move them to documented,” she said. “One of the best things we can do for our economy is pass comprehensive immigration reform.”
Pelosi admitted that the issue of supporting immigration is no longer “bipartisan” ever since Democrats began to weaponize the issue and sought to import voters whom they believe will end up voting for them.
“But not free housing,” Maher responded.“Well, that’s not free housing. It’s the American Dream being available to more people,” Pelosi claimed.
“California is always in the lead,” she claimed. “Maybe others will follow that lead, but that’s up to those states. But we are very blessed here with beautiful diversity.”

How about a two-state solution right here in North America: America as founded, and everyone else who does not want that go to hell. And take the illegal aliens with you, for diversity.

Have a good day.

ABOVE THE FOLD, BREAKING, NOTEWORTHY

Richard Fernandez: There is a feeling among some that the November 2024 election is special. It is useful to consider why. American presidential activities have become increasingly important since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, ushering in a period of U.S. dominance occasionally referred to as The End of History. The Reagan victory marked a moment when the key battlefield in the struggle to determine the future of humanity shifted from the superpower competition between East and West to the simple control of the institutions of the West, following the collapse of the USSR.

ROBERT SPENCER: The new academic year has scarcely begun, and Hamas supporters on campus are already signaling that they haven’t lost a bit of their fanaticism. If anything, they’re even more menacing. An incident at the University of Pittsburgh Friday evening shows that American college and university campuses are becoming increasingly dangerous places for Jewish students and other supporters of Israel, who are being threatened and brutalized all in the name of the “liberation” of “Palestine.”

When Vance said the American people shouldn't buy into misleading media portrayals of Donald Trump, Bash retorted, "There aren't media lies."

But now that her radical climate agenda isn’t politically convenient, Harris invented a 2020 position on fracking to try and cover up her actual views.

Say what you want about him, but Donald Trump is working his ass off in this presidential campaign, with the Trump-Vance campaign far eclipsing Kamala Harris and Tim Walz for public events, media interviews, podcasts, rallies, and fundraisers.

IN THE GLOBAL STRUGGLE AGAINST AUTHORITARIANISM, THE WEST’S REAL ENEMY IS ITSELF

American politicians speak constantly about the indispensable role of the United States in leading the free world against authoritarianism. If that is true, why is the White House so silent in the face of new global threats to free speech?

July 13 (Reuters) - Billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman endorsed U.S. former President Donald Trump on Saturday in the Republican's rematch race against President Joe Biden, shortly after Trump was shot in the ear at a campaign rally.
"I am going to formally endorse @realDonaldTrump," Ackman posted, opens new tab on social media platform X. "I assure you that I have made this decision carefully, rationally, and by relying on as much empirical data as possible".

42 The thinking goes that as migrants enter the labor market, they push down wages. This expands the labor supply and therefore lowers wage growth in the short term, which pushes down inflation.

This totally ignores the fact that most quote unquote WORK is a combinations of goods and services.

But a temporary ceasefire with Hamas won't last and it does nothing to Hezbollah firing missiles, rockets and drones from the north.

Appropriate? I cannot believe no one has thrown this back in their faces. Have they ever asked the regime if Biden's galactic clusterf*ck of a withdrawal was "appropriate," or whether allowing illegal immigrants to flood our streets is "appropriate," or calling half of America dangerous extremists and colluding with the FBI to censor them is "appropriate"?

In a way they did for Pacific trade routes. When the bunker fuel mandate to remove sulfur compounds from all the trans-Pacific cargo traffic was put in effect, it is thought that the emitted particulates reduced solar heating of the water, now without the "pollution" the sun has raised water temperatures.

Apparently the sun and African dust don't have that same effect on the Atlantic because politicians don't have that much influence on Saharan dust storms.

Once "scientists" can make that connection, then somehow my lifestyle will be the cause of African dust storms and only by higher taxes and regulation can the world be returned to whatever thermostat setting is "correct".

This has been going on for decades. The actual number is in the millions. Every year. And not all are from 'over the border.' Many are here... unwanted by their mothers. Others come from overseas.

The nominal president of this country is probably a p3d0. That alone emboldens all the others. They may not be a significant majority, but they mow through kids. The children are only 'useful' for so long. Then discarded. Or killed.

That was the least of that movie's problems.

Roland Emmerich has had *one* watchable movie: Independence Day. And I understood how that happened when I saw the "director's cut" of that movie. It was something like 10 minutes longer and far worse - worse to the point that movie slid all the way into deep mediocre territory.

My guess is that a producer duct-taped him to his chair and made the editor fix the movie.

I agree.
The only caveat is, those times we have been burned, I don't recall any polls in our favor. Like, we were grasping at close polls and wishcasting a hidden lead.

But now? There are several polls in our favor. And it's the media ignoring or downplaying them while only discussing the ones in their favor.

"I'm sorry about *your* illegal immigrant problem, mayor Coffman, and if you agree with me that it's a problem you will take care of it. Pity you haven't accepted the resources I'd offered."

Republican Coffman served in Congress with Polis. This is Polis getting DC to dump the worst illegals on a political rival and then sh#tting on him for it becoming a mess (as planned).

It doesn't even matter what Corron says, the whole Arlington Cemetery Op was created out of whole cloth in order for the media to obsess over instead of Kambalas culpability in getting 13 marines killed.

Also it allows them to bury Walnutz lying about his military service.

349 Oh Indiana. It's a beautiful state. Outside of large cities. We are politically Republican, outside of large cities (don't get me started on the People's Socialist Utopia of Bloomington). We have a large research and teaching hospital (IUMed Center) and Indiana University produces some top notch doctors. Sure the IU Medical network is a mafia that now focuses on how to charge patients more for everything and less on actual patient care. The children's hospital is still doing cutting edge research. We have Constitution Grove that provides white oak timber for the USS Constitution. We have every kind of climate, from the northern freezer to the southern moderate. We have the Indianapolis 500 , the Brickyard 400, the Indianapolis Indians, and Holiday World amusement park. We have the American Legion national headquarters, Lincoln boyhood home, Soldiers and Sailors monument, and Grouseland, and the James Whitcomb Riley museum. Florence Henderson, Phil Harris and James Dean eere born here
Indiana, oh Indiana, my home sweet home.

She's such a fresh, new face, that brings so many new ideas that she's ... running on the same things Biden was running--and losing--on.
Project 2025, abortion and J6.
Those were Biden's big themes for reelection.

Hmm.
That raises an interesting question:
If she's running on the same issues that Joe was "running" on, doesn't that suggest it was her staff that was running the WH?

You mean the younger generations that have been communist indoctrinated since kindergarten? I'm so sure everything will be so much better with them in charge.

It's why I don't have too much hope about a future for a UNITED States.

354 DailyKos is pointing to Democrat efforts to register women voters as a difference maker in the upcoming election. They expect PDJT to repeat his past poor performance among women and, with more female voters, they hope to overcome progress Trump is making with other Democrat plantation identity groups, particularly Hispanic voters.

Not just non-college white, all non-college.

Today, in 10 minutes you can find a couple dozen minorities on YouTube with 100k+ view videos supporting Trump.
In 2020, you had, what? The Hodge Twins and Diamond and Silk?
Is that something? IDK. But it's more than 2020. Where they had to cheat like hell, pulling out all the stops to get a "win" by less than 45k votes.

>Daily Wire, Sep. 1. 2024, Kamala Harris Threatened Israel To Stay Out Of Rafah Before American Hostage Found Dead

Not the husk either w/his 'Statement from President Biden on Hersh Goldberg-Polin, August 31, 2024

Yes to:

Vice President Kamala Harris
@VP
On October 7, Hersh Goldberg-Polin — an American citizen — was taken hostage by Hamas terrorists. He was just 23 years old, attending a music festival with friends. We now know he was murdered by Hamas.

Doug and my prayers are with Jon Polin and Rachel Goldberg-Polin, Hersh's parents, and with everyone who knew and loved Hersh.

Americans and people around the world will pray for Jon, Rachel, and their family and send them love and strength. As is said in the Jewish tradition, may Hersh’s memory be a blessing.

Hamas is an evil terrorist organization. With these murders, Hamas has even more American blood on its hands. I strongly condemn Hamas’ continued brutality, and so must the entire world.

360 The Media Line, Progressive Democrats Push to Codify a 2-State Solution Policy, 09/25/2021

New bill, seemingly dead on arrival, would “put teeth” into US policy with partisan enhancements

In part, "The bill makes a number of demands of Israelis, few asks of the Palestinian Authority and none of Hamas. But that’s a feature, not a bug, according to proponents of the legislation."

Whether law or not, it's coming under Harris-Walz in addition to other Progressive Agenda items that Biden 'failed' to accomplish.

>NY Times, 2020/10/14: The Long Run, What Kamala Harris Learned About Power at Howard

In small part, "As a student at Howard, called “The Mecca” by those who know its legacy, Ms. Harris settled into the pragmatic politics that have defined her career."
...

"Later in her collegiate career, her political involvement shifted from campus activism to seeking an inside view of government. According to her memoir, Ms. Harris interned at the Federal Trade Commission and in the office of Senator Alan Cranston of California. She held jobs at the National Archives and the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing."

No mention of McDonald's 🤷‍♀️

Kamala Harris, in this recently uncovered video, says that she wants police removed from schools. I guess because mass shooters deserve some equity eh?
