The Morning Report: 11/19/24

gulag33.jpg

Rumor has it that J.J. Sefton is close to firing up his Morning Report again, but that it's been so long that he needs to relearn typing...or waking up that early and stumbling around the kitchen in the dark, trying to make coffee...

Anyway, here are a few links to get your hearts racing!

One good thing about criticizing the "Pope" is that most Catholics find him to be less Catholic and more communist, so they are pretty much on board.

God promised the Church He would be with her until the end of time. It has had good popes and bad popes and I'm afraid Francis is one of the latter. But he, too, will pass. As for myself, I try to ignore all that stuff; I got bigger problems than whatever Francis is saying.

"Aren't Palestinians actually just Jordanians anyway?"

When there was a Palestine, back in the 20th century when the British ran the place, before there was an Israel in '48, all of the people who lived there had passports that said Palestinian on them.

Really, the only near peer female sport is tennis and in many ways, women's tennis is superior to men's tennis in that they are not trying to bomb each other with serves.

Also American women are actually competitive in the sport, and basically after Sampres left the game, American's mens tennis basically fell off the map.

73 If Jews in Israel became Muslims overnight this conflict would cease. Muslims have been trying to erase the Jews since the Pedophile walked the desert, which was 1500-2500 years after Abraham.

Posted by: The Man from Athens at November 19, 2024 07:24 AM (rxX52)

74 "Aren't Palestinians actually just Jordanians anyway?" /i]

Muslims invaded the Holy Land in the 600s. Before that it was Jews and Christians.

But because the Muslims did such a poor job managing the area the population was fairly low until European Jews started returning in the late 1800s.

These Jews brought money and technical know how. Which stimulated the economy. Which in turn led to some Egyptians and Jordanian Muslims coming to work.

And the odd thing about this, in the 40s and 50s this was a common point of discussion you could find books and movies written about it. But later the narrative was introduced and somehow these Pali immigrants became "the natives". There all sorts of comical aspects to it as well - Arafat for example was Egyptian.

Posted by: 18-1 at November 19, 2024 07:25 AM (oZhjI)

75 Daniel Penny will get a fair trial. He has excellent representation.

None of this sensational stuff bears on the facts of the case. It's all just magical thinking and irresponsible, ignorant reporting. Jordan Neely was asphyxiated for several minutes; it is not mere coincidence that he went into respiratory arrest. K2 does not cause respiratory arrest. Medical examiners routinely rely on video evidence; it's not unethical or unusual to do so.

I am hopeful that Penny will be acquitted, not because the facts and the law are on his side, but because the jury will be fed up with public disorder, and they don't much care what happens to a gutter rat like Jordan Neely. Penny has a good chance.

If he's convicted, he's guilty. Sorry about that, but it's true. Political narratives do not nullify the law. Please do not become demoralized; stay cool.

There is a way to push back against leftist narratives in race-politicized criminal cases. False counter-narratives only lead to loss and demoralization.

I don't want to upset anyone, and I'm not going to argue about this. If Penny is convicted, just shrug and move on. You can't be in the right 100% of the time.

I've been noticing that the wnba is trying to glam up their stars, but it's not working for me at least. I just can't get over the feeling they are glamming them up to attract other women. Another reason the wnba fails is they ignore 50 percent of the population that is 80 percent of the sports audience. Show any level of outreach to men by the wnba? Compare and contrast that with nfl and nba being predominately targeted toward women now. The men are baked in. Look at who the commercials target. Look at who sings the lead in.

141 I am not a fan of the Ukraine war. But let’s be clear, Putin is the aggressor and in people’s ardent desire to end the war, he is taking advantage of the situation and being even more aggressive. He brought the Nork’s on to the battlefield, which is a move of aggression. He has also been deliberately taking out all the civilian power plants across Ukraine and waging a war against the people. In fact, the day before the approval to use longer range ATCMS, he attacked power plants across Ukraine which will hurt civilians across the country. He’s trying to break their will. Ukraine also has the SCALP system and has for some time. The range is almost the same as ATCMS. But Putin keeps moving his assets out of range, and then claiming if the range is extended it’s a provocation. F him and his games. End the war? Sure. End it on his terms which only embolden his land grabs and aggression. Hell no.

I dealt with around 6 or 7 of these in my tenure working for the Navy.

There's a reason that the bedroom counties around DC are some of the richest in the country. They aren't drilling for oil or building ships, many are either working in government or for a government contractor.

It's a bloated, self-serving swamp that cares not a wit about the American people or our best interests. They care about theirs.

@MegEBrock
This is a great lesson in how Pennsylvania progressives like
@GovernorShapiro
operate.

Diane Marseglia messed up and brought national attention the election fraud happening in the Philadelphia area.

Had this not happened, in all likelihood, the illegal ballots would be counted and anyone who challenged this called an “election denier.”

If Josh Shapiro cared about the rule of law, he should have immediately condemned these egregious actions. He didn’t.

Instead, he waited for the PA Supreme Court to weigh in and then makes a statement on their coattails.

The statement contains the falsehood that the county commissioners “lacked clarity.” This completely untrue.

You can watch in this clip where the county law department explicitly tells the county to follow the law, and not count the ballots.

Now, the local (and national) media machine goes into full gear praising Shapiro for his “leadership.”

Meanwhile, it’s very likely there will be no repercussions for this open defiance of the law.

Welcome to Pennsylvania.

255 Serious qestion: I feel like I'm being gaslit. Where does the perception of "Democratic elitism" come from?..Democrats are the "smarty pants" party; the "college educated party"; the "talk down to working people" party, but, from where?

they know blue states subsidize red states. drives them nuts.now that 32 states are red. The blue states won't be able to lift all.

It's rooted in anti-intellectualism. "If you read or listen to or look at things I don't understand, you must think you know more and better than I do, so you must be looking down on me."

The ivy league schools are more like legacy media -- simply have been around a long time. They've always been festering with extreme conservatives like William F. Buckley. That's why conservatives hate affirmative action programs.

Mostly, it’s because we’re the educated class. Everyone brags about their kid who goes to college; no one brags about their kid who is a plumber. I don’t know if we, as a party, convey respect for blue-collar workers.

271 Putin moved his assets out of range, then used them for attacks on civilian infrastructure. Then he stated that if anyone hit those assets it was an escalation. Here’s an idea. Stop the attacks. That’s how you de escalate and hold the status quo until a new POTUS is sworn in. Tell everyone to hold their lines, and stop offensive action. Both sides. Then we sort things out.

If things were different? Hell no.

But in this case? Absolutely, yes. The US is keeping this war going. But its attitude will drastically change on January 20th. Trump is committed to ending this and getting peace. Putin can have what he wants if he's just patient, here.

That hope will evaporate if Putin goes on a rampage against civilians or, G-d forbid, uses a tactical nuke.

It's time for him to have a cool head.

Say what you want about Putin, but he's a rational actor, he knows that in a little over 60 days, there will be a new regime in the WH, a new regime that is going to end the war, with terms favorable to his aims.

So, unless the Junta does something incredibly stupid, which is always a possibility, he'll bite his lip and bide his time.

Real wages were stagnant in the past four years using official figures.

During the final days of the presidential election campaign, I noticed a subtle language shift in the [msm]. Non-college voters... suddenly were referred to on tv a "non-educated" voters.

As election results demonstrate, this shift underscores the disdain for the working class that permeates the [msm] and other segments of our society, including many college-educated political elites in the Democrat Party. The working class may not have college credentials, but they do have brains and common sense - and know when they are being disrespected.

418 A year before American voters’ anger over the cost of living helped Donald J. Trump win the presidency, similar sentiments in New Zealand thrust in the nation’s most conservative government in decades. Now, New Zealand bears little resemblance to the country recently led by Jacinda Ardern, whose brand of compassionate, progressive politics made her a global symbol of anti-Trump liberalism. The new government — a coalition of the main center-right party and two smaller, more populist ones — has reversed many of Ms. Ardern’s policies.

It's funny that this person boils it down to bragging rights -- this is what is important to them, attaining degrees/validation from institutions.

If I've learned something in recent years, it's that chatting with various small businessmen/people (plumbers, window replacement, HVAC, arborists, etc.) it's that these people are much more savvy in economics, the labor market, and how various current state/federal government policy effects their bottom lines, as well as the quality of life and expenses for the average person.

I would like to see a system where the employer is used as an extension of the federal government and takes money out of each paycheck but not the exact amount so at the end of each year the average working slob can file his or hers tax "return" and get their own money back without interest but thinking they are getting a bonus or something because they are stupid and the federal government can avoid being the heavy trying to collect their taxes.

Oh wait...

The graft is too big for them to actually allow a common sense approach to taxation and government moderation.

I don't see why there's more of a chance to have a flat consumption tax versus a flat income tax.

Want me to tell you how VAT tax can jump from a fixed rate of say 5% to say 17% to say anything higher?

By flat taxing income, the government can more accurate guestimate how much tax will go into its coffers, whereas consumer consumption can fluctuate much more IMO. And if consumption is insufficient, guess what rate goes up to make up for the differential?

498 If we had given Ukraine to hit deep into Russia early in the war it might have made a difference.

If we had not told Ukraine to cancel the peace deal they had negotiated with Russia early in the war it might have made a difference... but we did (via Boris Johnson).

So, how long after death does a person have a pulse after asphyxiation? I've seen people faint and their body shudders and toes curl and backs arch, but they didn't die. I wonder what an independent coroner, looking over the exact same information, would say. Also, for Penny, Neely was still struggling, so why would he let him go? To get up and attack again? If Hochul were attacked by a madman, would her guards be held responsible if he died due to a chokehold?

Was the man who died committing multiple felonies? You know like assaulting senior citizens, attempted murder, putting people in fear for their lives, etc. Yes, he was, then Penny's actions were warranted. No, he wasn't, then his use of deadly force was not justifiable homicide.

There is no such thing as justifiable theft, there is such a thing as justifiable homicide. New York wants to eliminate "self defense" from the law. You start that process by taking away "defense of others".

553 I once applied for a job with the IRS. I passed their test, high score, they asked what department I would like to work in. Didn't decide right there, but did disclose that due to health concerns I had to defer my student loans. I would be able to resume paying the loans once I got a job. They said I needed to take care of it before I took the job, because a number of then-current IRS folks who were able to pay were in the news for deliberately defaulting on their loans (approx. 2005, 2006).

Me: I can't pay without a job.

IRS: We can't give you a job until you pay.

Me: But, I can pay if you give me the job.

IRS: We can't give you a job until you pay.
