The Morning Report — 8/ 6 /26

Good morning kids. With all the insanity going on here and abroad these days, hell every day, let's start off with some good news and considering who's involved rather surprising. Good for Justice Sotomayor.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor denied an appeal from the Palestinian Liberation Organization and the Palestinian Authority to halt a $656 million judgment.
The ruling means the victims and their families are now one step closer to being paid damages, following years of legal battles over terrorism attacks.
“The lawsuit was filed by victims of attacks in Jerusalem in the early 2000s that killed 33 people and wounded hundreds more,” the Associated Press reported. “Families brought their lawsuit under the Anti-Terrorism Act, a law aimed at opening U.S. courts to victims of international terror attacks.”
A significant legal victory for American victims of Palestinian terrorism.

I suppose I could be cynical and say given the trajectory of the nation, at least the seeming trajectory in throwing a bone to the cockeyed optimists out there — before long this decision will somehow become null and void.

Barring some wholly unforeseen development, such as Republicans actually mounting an effective challenge somewhere, the 120th Congress will convene on January 3, 2027 with a record seven Muslim members, six representatives and, for the first time in American history, one senator. And for Muslim Brotherhood-linked organizations in the U.S., the future looks bright.
Before 2007, there were no Muslim in the House of Representatives or Senate at all. The seven Muslim legislators who will be sworn in (on the Qur’an, no doubt) in January will include the four representatives in the 119th Congress: Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.); Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.); Andre Carson (D-Ind.), and Lateefah Simon (D-Calif.). Joining them will be the nation’s first Muslim senator, Abdul El-Sayed (D-Mich.), as well as Reps. Darializa Avila Chevalier (D-N.Y.) and Adam Hamawy (D-N.J.).

My only consolation in an Islamized Ameriqqqa is that should I God-forbid still be alive to witness that nightmare I will at least have the pleasure of watching the Democrats and Leftists get their heads lopped off first, having sold us down the river and thus rendering their political alliance with Islam no longer necessary and its own preternatural lust for absolute power, that led to this alliance of convenience, a potential threat to our new Mullahocratic overlords.

Elsewhere, and as CBD and I have discussed with disgust for the umpteenth friggin' time on the latest episode of the podcast linked here as well as in the sidebar and on all the popular platforms listed at the bottom of the post, We are fed up with President Trump's constant yammering about how Iran is going to get it good and hard if they don't sign on to some bullshit ceasefire accord.

Well, leave it to Lurker extraordinaire, friend of the blog and #1 Ace cruelty fanboi Prof. Victor Davis Hanson to be the one to put things in perspective.

The Long View of Iran: The headlines focus on negotiations, but the war’s real story is this: Iran is steadily being broken by sanctions, isolation, and relentless military pressure. . . Bottom line? Iran is losing whether it is being bombed, sanctioned, or embargoed—or all three. Its ultimate fate now rests with the Trump administration, which apparently has not yet decided what, exactly, that fate will be.

Read the whole thing as he goes point by point.

Well, at least CBD and I shockingly over the course of the last several episodes have completely ignored the Fauci revelations. Wow, how did we miss that? Others seem to think that Senator Rand Paul is going to come down hard on the Mass-murdering fiend. Considering his victim count, between the virus cum bio-weapon he created for the Chi-Coms with our own money as well as the toxic vaccines from Big Pharma, is up there with Pol Pot if not Mao or Stalin, a gallows would be appropriate if not too good for this rodent-like bastard.

When Anthony Fauci pleaded the Fifth over 100 times during a Senate hearing last week, many Americans were pleased that the face of the Biden administration’s coronavirus response was forced to face his critics. But many other Americans were left wondering: would Fauci face anything worse than an embarrassing viral hearing? He will if Senator Rand Paul has anything to say about it. The Kentucky Republican is determined to bring the former head of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases to justice. Speaking to The Daily Wire Wednesday, Paul explained why he’s confident that the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee will hold the embattled doctor in contempt — and what he thinks could happen next.

Well, as our wonderful president (and I mean that in all sincerity) is wont to say, we'll just have to wait and see. And that said, Forget Greasy Kid Stuff Newsom, Mayor Buttplug or Chlamydia Harris, I think the Democrats might at long last have their ideal candidate for 2028 — Mini-Mengele Fauci!

Have a good day, and on a personal note, thank you for all your good wishes yesterday. And thank goodness for the A-Bomb that ended World War Two 81 years ago today. Nod of thanks to an uncle who worked as a tool and die maker for Enrico Fermi!

These declassified records suggest that the FBI was determined to conclude that President Trump was a Russian asset despite a lack of evidence and pushback from agency personnel. Significantly, the investigation into claims of collusion between the President and Russia heavily disrupted the early years of the first Trump administration. The investigation heightened partisan divisions and deepened distrust of the Intelligence Community. They show that perceptions of the Intelligence Community as excessively scrutinizing President Trump without a solid foundation to do so were warranted, raising concerns about the weaponization of the federal government and its agencies.

18 I guess I'm one who's willing to fight in the trenches of the Language War. Since this is a written language forum I'll go on the record as preferring the rather old fashioned term "Mohammedan." Churchill used it.
I think it conveys a stronger yet subtle message than "Muslim" or even "Islamist." It reflects the stark contrast with "Christian" which also refers to a specific set of beliefs based on a specific individual.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

"uBlock Origin" - anti-ad-ware/malware block

"NoScript" - Prevents javascript running on any site unless I approve it (temporarily or permanently) and I can mark certain sites as "UNTRUSTED" permanently as well.

Privacy Badger - automatically learns to block hidden trackers
Canvas Blocker - prevent websites from using some Javascript APIs to fingerprint them
SponsorBlock (for YouTube) - skip over sponsors, intros, outros, subscription reminders, and other annoying parts of YouTube videos
Port Authority - Blocks all possible types of port scanning. (Did you know web sites can try to port-scan your INTERNAL network from your browser? They can. This blocks that crap.)

Redirector - specify patterns for pages that should be automatically redirected to other pages (I use this to auto-redirect x.com links to nitter.net)
AiBlock for YouTube - Block AI-slop channels (community driven)
&udm=14 - Adds "&udm=14" to google search URL automatically so results avoid AI crap.
Nuke Anything - Useful for temporarily removing annoying "non-skippable" pop-over frames like forced login dialogs.

60 Immigrants consumed around $401.6 billion in welfare and entitlement benefits in 2023, according to a recent study by the left-of-center Cato Institute think tank, which noted that American-born citizens tend to benefit more than their immigrant counterparts. Around $125.2 billion in funding was consumed by noncitizens, according to the report, and another $310.1 billion by naturalized immigrants.

About the same cost as the Dept of Ag.

So even if you are wildly bullish about the company, and want to leave shares to your kids when you go (like me), it probably best serves your interest to let all this share supply hit the market and see where the stock price goes.

He pointed out that “when Congress was creating these programs, some of them almost 100 years ago, we didn’t expect that these programs were going to be attacked by fraudsters to the tunes of billions and billions of dollars a year.

133 I honestly don’t understand why someone older than sixty-ish would want to be in politics. Trump’s energy level is amazing but he’s an outlier…. One gets close to 60 and you start to see the dim outlines of life’s finish line. Who in their right mind would want to spend their last 20-30 years dealing with lowlife politicians??

154 Vance went on to add, “I think the American people would be shocked to learn — because I was certainly shocked when I learned it a few months ago — that when we send tax dollars to the states to administer the SNAP program, we have no visibility into who is ultimately getting those benefits.

158 "CNN: Haley Stevens did well with working-class and African American voters.

Abdul El-Sayed "did very poorly" with those groups and "really just" ran up the score in college towns."

Similar to Crockett/Talarico in Texas.

Prediction: Rogers by 3 in Michigan.

Black voters are the most reliable Dem bloc, and the Dems are kicking them in the dick over and over.

It's going to have repercussions. They won't swing to the right, but they'll stop spending money, time, and energy on Dems and they'll show up in smaller numbers. That will have an outsized impact on election results.

And then, after those results are known, the Dem infighting will REALLY get going because of all the second-guessing.

Just in time for Kamala 2028.

It's going to be glorious.

And as you say, they’ll never vote Republican; they’ll just drop out and not vote at all.
