The Morning Report 11/18/24

Good morning kids. Hope you all had a nice relaxing weekend. Open thread Fingers crossed for today or tomorrow for the computer back in my hands and real morning reports going forward.

A Well, whoever is running the country before Trump can take charge is giving the green light to Ukraine to launch missiles directly into Russia. That should keep him busy before his DOGE can eliminate or significantly defang the deep state bureaucracy as intended/promised. If that is or was ever really possible given human nature and the nature of power, bureaucracy and our history at least since the New Deal.

There's Armageddon and then there's Armageddon!!!

There will be no Trump inspired end zone dances. Meh screw the NFL despite this rather amusing thumb in the eye of the lefties.

Surprisingly, his success in the tech world has led to public shaming, placing Haga on Norway’s Socialist Party’s ‘Wall of Shame’.

So, once again, if you're an innovative and entrepreneurial, where would you want to do business, Europe or the US? Europe can, as far as I'm concerned, have all our deadweight in trade.

Part of the missing money is almost certainly being used for black ops.

But a hundred supposedly thousand dollars hammers and you've got a million dollars stashed away to use on something congress would never approve.

Now in the 80s this sort of creative funding was used for anti-communist rebels. Now its been used for what are all sorts of anti-American groups

"whoever is running the country before Trump can take charge is giving the green light to Ukraine to launch missiles directly into Russia."

Both Putin and Zelensky believe President Trump will help them to conclude a peace, or at least an armistice.

Putin isn't going to start WWIII and Zelensky is trying to get a better deal at the peace negotiation table.
Let's not forget that Russia invaded Ukraine and is the aggressor.

62 Looks like Ann Selzer retired from the polling business over the weekend.

I have a tinfoil theory about why, inspired by a David Sacks observation. Polymarket prices for Kamala futures spiked just before the election, before settling back down to where they were. I believe that Selzer got paid to release the.poll that moved the market. It wasn't meant to affect the election - that was baked already - but to allow the entity that took the Kamala side of the $45 million pro-Trump French Whale bet to exit with minimal losses.

She didn't get paid by the campaign, as that would come out in FEC disclosures. She was paid by a private entity. She could now afford to 'retire'.

Trump winning the popular vote made it safe for people to admit they've liked him all along. Which is why Democrat counties in PA, CA, and IL are still counting new votes. Kamala is expected to be the popular vote winner when they're done.

131 GENEVA -- An event billed as Switzerland's biggest esports competition has been canceled after the host team's founder posted an anti-abortion comment on social media, triggering outrage that led three rival squads to pull out.

The “Take the Throne” event, involving a video game that features cars that score goals with a ball like in soccer, was to take place Nov. 23 at the Batiment des Forces Motrices venue in downtown Geneva.

The uproar erupted after BDS team founder Patrice Bailo de Spoelberch — the initials of his surname form the team's name — posted on social media Wednesday that “A woman who dares to use abortion should lose the right to ever have children.”

The post has since been taken down from his feed on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, but several critics of the comment relayed a screenshot of it.
...
Bailo de Spoelberch, on his account, posted an apology on Thursday, calling his initial statement “extremely clumsy” and saying it “does not reflect my true thoughts.”

“Every woman must have control over her body and is free to terminate a pregnancy," he wrote. “Again, sorry to all the women and people I offended.”

136 And for those that don't know the history - Greece got its independence in the 1800s and slowly absorbed more traditional Greek lands full of Greek people in Europe - but the Turks continued to hold the lands in Western Asia Minor and of course Constantinople.

After WWI the Turks were a mess having chosen the wrong side the allies forced them to give independence to the Arabs in the old Ottoman Empire and the Greeks took the opportunity to go to war for their people as well.

The war went well until the leader of the Greece liberation movement King Alexander went to a zoo, got bit by a monkey and died. Then the Greeks went back to their normal incompetence and lost the war. The outcome was mostly the Greek people in Asia minor fleeing to Greece in Europe. And no they didn't then live in "refugee camps" for a century - the Greeks integrated them into the country

Then they started a decades long effort to poke, poke, poke Russia. All so they can maintain military tension in Europe thereby justifying their continued employment and the creep of totalitarianism to combat "muh Russia".

Meanwhile, every news organization and about 90% of "commenters" will remind you, daily, that Russia is eeeeeevil and the west is pure of heart. Beep boop beep.

In South Vietnam some of the military leadership decided Diem, the political leader, was the problem and asked the Kennedy administration for approval to kill him and take power.

Yeah, some pretty good statistical analysis videos, which were taken down by youtube fairly quickly after 2020, pointed out voting patterns don't really change. Ballots come in based on how the district is weighted. I think the most extreme districts are 65/35, at best. 90/10 one way or another pretty much doesn't exist.

173 My take on these missiles *biden authorized the Ukes to strike "deep inside Russia."

The missiles being referenced are ATACMS (MGM-140 Army Tactical Missile System.) The maximum range is 190 miles. They're non-nuclear.

190 miles is not "deep inside Russia." From the closest point in Ukraine they're unable to reach Moscow, which is closer to 300 miles. Drones have been used before to reach "deep inside Russia" and strike various infrastructure targets. But, the ATACMS can make life miserable for anything or anyone in range.

What's concerning to me is that another one of the US' most modern and capable weapons systems is being handed off to a 3rd rate military that can barely organize a road march. Whether there are American "advisors" on the ground to actually man these weapons is debatable, but likely. That's the real issue.

The USSR didn't implode.
The politburo voluntarily voted it out of existence.
I watched it happen on TV at the time it occurred.
Everybody in the west was surprised.

The USSR cut it's losing subsidiaries(a common thing back in the '90s) and was rebranded back to Russia(which it always was).

The USSR always was just Russia, surrounded by whole countries which it used as human shields.

Russia's main defense strategy was always defense in depth by having vast territories to retreat into and that is still it's defense strategy today.

It was, I think, Edward Crankshaw in his history of the later Romanovs who explained that while neighboring states see Russia as a threat because of its huge size, Russia sees neighboring states as a threat to its huge borders. So to counter the threat, Russia seeks to expand its borders, which leads to larger borders that are threatened. It's a self-licking ice cream cone.

Putin was appointed President of Russia.

Now do Putin's invasion of Georgia in 2008 and note how Russia has been taking 2 Km more of the land every year along the entire frontier.

There are articles about the Raiders not making a player who did on, TE Brock Bowers, unavailable for post-game interviews. But it won't surprise me if totalitarian NFL Commish, Roger Goodell, imposes huge fines for doing it, along with a 15 yard penalty on the kickoff (meaningless nowadays).

Give a listen to Vivek on Rogan if you haven't. He's thought about this for a year. He's got a reasonable strategy. Musk and Vance said things that align. Three interviews, unified strategy. I look forward to public servants experiencing all the corporate reorg/ down sizing practices. I think that's also why it's so quiet. They are afraid.

Ukraine's been launching suicide drones into the Moscow area for a couple years. They target power stations, fuel depots, refineries and the like. Usually with limited success. They even kitted out a small Cesena type plane with automated controls and a bunch of explosives and sent it on a suicide mission into Russia. Innovative, but that's about as far as it goes.

381 "I definitely feel like I’m on an island alone," said Tanya Tsikanovsky, who resides in LA's San Fernando Valley. "The queer people have turned their backs on me, and I’m queer, so it’s very painful."

According to Tsikanovsky, she worked in Iowa with the Hillary Clinton election campaign in 2016. Then, she voted for Joe Biden in 2020.

"I was absolutely that person who would say if you’re a Trump supporter, I don’t want you in my life," said Tsikanovsky. "I can say I regret that."

Beyond economic reasons and the United States’ southern border, Tsikanovsky says she shifted towards Trump because of her Jewish faith. According to Tsikanovsky, recent pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses made her think differently about the Democratic Party.

"Israel [changed my mind]," said Tsikanovsky. "I am a Jew, and what was happening on campuses was appalling. They should have sent in the National Guard as soon as Jewish students were being blocked on campuses."

Every time I wrote to him I always included the sentence, "You are the best president in my lifetime" before it was a cliche. He accomplished what seemed impossible: repairing our nation and it's reputation after it was incinerated. He restored our international credibility. Give it about six months--he'll be appreciated more than anyone thought possible.

It's tragic that all the good he has done is about to be wrecked beyond recognition. I just hope the new administration leaves him and his family the hell alone. 😢

Joe treated the nation poorly by falling prey to hubris. He was not up for a vigorous campaign and maintaining a rather demanding day job. Biden dug Harris or any other Democrat a very deep hole and was on course to get Mondaled.

And I hope Brandon lives long enough to see Lil' Hunty tossed into gen pop at a federal prison to make creepy sex tapes with trannies, drunk on pruno.

414 ‘ No one in government even knows how to doa real budget anymore.’

In business and in the old days government organizations as well had to make trade offs. Hire this agent permanently or those 3 contractors for just this year, buy this machine or rent that better one, and so on.

Over the last few years though almost every part of the government has been given as many dollars as it can find a way to spend - which is why you have the government raiding houses over unregulated pets and the like.

So of course going back to budgeting and trade offs will be "hard". Its like taking Veruca Salt and making her live on a middle class budget. BUT DADDY I WANT IT!

442 The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox 11h
This clip is absolutely mind-blowing.

NBC News was caught red-handed pushing a FAKE photo of a baby with measles—designed to stoke fear and sell vaccines for their sponsor, Merck.

The fake photo is undeniable: the same photo appeared on Dreamstime with the exact same baby but without the measles splotches. It was provably photoshopped.

Watch this clip in full, and you’ll see what I mean.

Lester Holt and NBC News have never apologized for this blatant fraud, and the story was quietly swept under the rug.

Moreover, the CDC is straight-up lying to the American public, claiming that 1 out of every 1,000 measles cases results in death.

What they’re not telling you is that their own data shows the death rate of measles before the vaccine was available was actually 1 in 8,000.

While the media and the government smear people like us as spreaders of “disinformation,” the real disinformation is coming from TV news and the government itself.

College graduates made up 43% of the electorate, and 55% voted for Vice President Harris, per exit polls.

56% of voters without degrees voted for President-elect Trump.

I bet you can see that these college educated are also in blue state.

Why do WE need to be involved? The war über alles people keep going back and forth between "snicker, Russia can't even beat Ukraine" and "OMG, if we don't send a hundred trillion dollars to Ukraine, Russians will be marching through downtown DC."

Let me make my position perfectly clear. I don't give a rat's ass about the security of Europe, or any country in Europe. They're fucking rich. They tax the shit out of their people to pay for bullshit. They've badmouthed us since we saved their bacon the last century.

In December two Hunter Biden sentencing hearings are scheduled. I'm not betting a single quatloo on the sentences.

"Hunter Biden will be sentenced in December for both his gun purchasing charges and tax fraud charges.

On December 12, Biden, 54, will be sentenced in Delaware after he was found guilty of three felonies stemming from purchasing a gun while using drugs in October 2018.

Biden could face up to 25 years in prison for his gun conviction, although it is believed he will not serve time as he is a first-time and nonviolent offender.

On December 16, Biden will be sentenced on federal tax-related charges in Los Angeles after pleading guilty in September and avoiding a trial.

Biden faces up to 17 years in prison when he is sentenced for the tax offenses.

Hunter Biden is the first child of a sitting US president to be convicted of a crime."

509 Americans “overwhelmingly rejected the ideological takeover of political and civic life by narrow-minded identity politics” in the Nov. 5 election, a coalition of 38 financial officers wrote in letters warning companies that the new administration will “hasten the demise of DEI.”

Trump is not W. I still don't think it's hit what has happened has sunk in to many.

W went to DC as part of the uniparty to manage the country from marginally the right side of the aisle. Trump is going to DC to tear it down and rebuild it from the ground up.

W went to DC with Dick Cheney. Trump is going with Elon Musk. Nobody tried to blow W's head off when he won. Trump didn't just win an election all the "experts" said was impossible, he won the first battle in a revolution.

That's a huge bummer.

Odd anecdote: A lost piece is what got me into building model planes at a fairly high level.

I was 12 when Desert Storm kicked off (I know), and the F-117 entered public service. My dad got me a model of her, and when I was building the cockpit, the control stick flew off somewhere into the carpeting. I looked for about five minutes, and wanted to keep going. He told me noone but me would ever know it was missing, and if it wouldn't bother me, I could keep going.

I did keep going. Now, all these years later, it still bothers me, and I think about it during every build. I've got the 1/32 F-117 in my stash to ease my conscience.

The Justice Democrats, a progressive group known for backing insurgent primary challengers like radical “Squad” member Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, are planning to reignite their campaign against establishment Democrats ahead of the 2026 midterms, according to an interview with Salon published Sunday.

He duped the electorate. An utterly shameless display of snake oil political salesmanship. And still he lectures all of us in that gratingly sanctimonious manner of his like we are all somehow the problem here.

But there are losers. And the biggest loser will be the American taxpayers just like we've been for decades.

Our bi-partisan foreign policy has been a disaster for decades. The neocon influence in DC coupled with the military industrial complex that basically owns many politicians has taken us from one failed military episode to another and all we get are dead and injured men and women, a world more hostile toward us and crushing debt.

The single biggest reason they tried to take Trump out with the Russia crap and then the Ukraine phone call crap is because they didn't want Trump to end their corruption and eventual war in Ukraine. And look what it got them. And us.
