The Morning Report — 8/ 19 /26

Good morning kids. Once again our complete lack of shock by this is in direct proportion to our abject horror and revulsion.

Again, El-Sayed’s mother was helping the financial operations of a network that supported one of the most infamous terrorist leaders of modern times (Bin Laden), who orchestrated the deaths of nearly 3,000 Americans in 2001. That same network supported a terrorist group (Hamas) that committed the worst single day of slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust in 2023. And the “charity” network propped up the genocidal Jihad group that has spent years committing atrocities in Afghanistan: the Taliban. El-Sayed has not publicly distanced himself from Elkomy’s past, or indeed, from Islamic extremist groups in general. Why should he, when Islam explicitly teaches that Jihad is praiseworthy? Again, CAIR not only donated to him, but officially endorsed him and encouraged people to vote for him. If a terrorist front group endorses you, that probably means you are likely to promote the goals of Jihad. And the Muslim Brotherhood celebrated El-Sayed’s primary win. El-Sayed certainly — and proudly — supports wiping Israel off the map.

Welcome to Michiganistan! Where we all slam for ISLAM!!!

And despite New York City, the most Jewish city on the planet outside of Israel itself went utterly meshugah by voting in Momzer Mamdani, this still happened.

Now the largest Catholic civil rights group in the United States — the Catholic League for Civil and Religious Rights — has also asked Mamdani to stay away from the 9/11 ceremony, for the same reasons that the families and friends of those murdered on 9/11 gave. More on that demand can be found here: “Largest Catholic Civil Rights Group in US Urges Mamdani to Skip 9/11 Memorial Ceremony,” by Shiryn Ghermezian, Algemeiner, August 6, 2026:

Well, leave it to Bill Donohue and the Catholics to step up and do the right thing. But there is no way that that evil scumbag is going to skip the 9/11 ceremonies. Because for him and every other Muslim on the planet, 9/11 was not an horrendous tragedy, to them it was a glorious victory. I fully expect ululations and the passing out of candy and Halvah in every Muslim neighborhood this side of the M-79 star system. I wouldn't put it past Hizzbollah hizzoner to add the names of the 20 hijackers to the list of the victims along with Bin Laden.

Considering the Democrats have a bigwig who honored her grandfather on Veteran's Day who served during World War 2, no not as a GI but in the Nazi Wehrmacht, perhaps my observation about Mamdani is less a nightmarish wisecrack than God-forbid a prediction of the future! And what a shock, the aforementioned Democrat bigwig turns out to be Kelly Neumann a fundraising boss in MICHIGAN!

How do you say Ach du Lieber in Arabic or Pashtun...or with a Yuper accent?!!! From that madness we flashback to the glory days of Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants and this character he and his ilk inflicted on us...

A “Maryland father.” That’s how the propaganda press described Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal alien from El Salvador that the Trump administration sought to deport. Despite accusations of MS-13 ties, human smuggling, and domestic abuse, Democrats and their allies in the corporate press turned Abrego Garcia into a national martyr. But the innocent “Maryland father” narrative is collapsing once again with new details revealed by the Department of Justice about Abrego Garcia. . . As the propaganda press’ cover-up for criminal Abrego Garcia continues to fail, they keep trying to find new ways to preserve their carefully crafted narrative about him, this time by just not telling their readers about the new evidence, while in the past just parroting the preferred narrative from a court or Abrego Garcia’s lawyers.

Other than the aforementioned meshugas, yesterday was another primary day in several states and here's the tale of the tape/recap, courtesy of Breitbart.

Have a good day.

13 It sucks for people who lost loved ones on 9/11 to have to endure some smarmy terrorist gloating over their ashes.

I get it. But it's totally appropriate for Mamdani to be there - it's a city full of people who elected him because they hate America and love Islam and want to see a Muslim spike the ball on their graves.

Black, white, brown, Muslim, atheist and Jew alike, they all share the common ground of hatred for this country and its people.

If I were in the shoes of these 9/11 families, I'd just move the commemoration ceremony to Shanksville, and move my own butt out of that sorry ass foreign city. It's enemy territory now. Why ritualistically pass beneath the conquerors' yoke every day?

26 Rosie O'Donnell celebrated her return to America by calling Bari Weiss a Nazi. Bari, a nice Jewish girl from Pittsburgh, a lesbian, and a Democrat, has committed the great sin of not accepting mindless groupthink that dictates antisemitic hate.

It’s worth noting that Gina Carano’s Hollywood career collapsed after she shared a social media message suggesting conservatives are being “othered” much like Jewish people in 1930s-era Germany.

Roseanne Barr lost her signature ABC sitcom, and so much more, for one racially-charged Tweet.

O’Donnell will face no repercussions for saying such cruel, fact-free things.

37 As someone who readily admits that I'd be a defense attorney's worst juror (I have little compassion for those that are obviously guilty and fully support the death penalty), I do go back and forth on what Lindsay Clancy's punishment should be. The woman jumped out of a window and severed her spine. She obviously has very deep psychological problems, coupled with all that pharmaceutical stew she was taking. I'd be less inclined to sentence her to death (does MA even have that?). She should get life in prison, not be confined to some mental hospital for X number of years. It's all an incredible tragedy. Incidentally, I thought it really strange how her husband got married so quickly afterward.

60 Yes I know about lift ships
they are ships for shipping ships
the problem then is, the route back to the US
across the Pacific? If the lift ship doesn't fit thru the Panama Canal, you'd have to offload the rocket and truck it back to Texas

Similarly, if you go the other way, west, your lift ship has to transit the Suez Canal or go around the Cape Of Good Hope, which is definitely a movie I would go see

I fully expect ululations and the passing out of candy and Halvah in every Muslim neighborhood this side of the M-79 star system.

Why do you care?

The Senate is currently in recess - but not the kind of recess which would allow Trump to do anything, just the kind where most of them are not in DC - and isn't scheduled to return until 9/14. So he wouldn't be doing Senate things anyway.

According to KY law, he wouldn't be replaced before the November election even if he were declared to be dead.

It's a non story, affecting nothing, and, like Epstein or the debt - which we cannot affect, is brought up just to get people riled up and feeling helpless. Troll or not, be better.

No, they are closed. And we better pull our heads out of our fourth point of contact because slow and steady isn’t winning races. Engaging, charismatic, and influencer playbooks are on the left. Now I don’t think they will win against saner R candidates in a state like Fl, yet. But if we don’t start with better campaign strategies, they will win in more places than will make us comfortable.

He's gone to a farm to run and smell flowers

And he was gone.

I saw over at the NYP a campaign picture of the loser DSA candidate in FL (dummy named Larkin) and his campaign posters show an alligator and the motto "Chomp the Oligarchy." Most of his supporters probably couldn't even define oligarchy if they had to. Incidentally, the poster lists "Florida Youth Justice Coalition" at the bottom. Justice, I say! Oligarchy, I say! These people regurgitate the same buzz words over and over and over again. There's never a shortage of dummies who fall for it...unfortunately.

He had domestic assault accusation that led to a restraining order, and an ethics committee investigation into sexual misconduct and campaign finance violations. He also has been reported as being under criminal investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice

It's better than he lost now than in the general election.

164 The California Energy Commission on Monday voted to restrict what type of tires Californians can buy and when they can replace their tires.

The new rules will lead to a ban on the sale of the majority of tires in the state because they don’t meet the new efficiency standards.

The regulatory agency, full of unelected bureaucrats, claimed the new rules would lead to a price increase of only $6.50 per tire in the second phase; however, Bret Gladfelty of Goodyear said the increase would end up being several hundred dollars.

Trudeau senior.

I'm reading about the American Revolution and one item I'd forgotten now resonates: as part of the war's conclusion, 100,000 Loyalists emigrated to Canada. That right there is why they have this weird, completely irrational childish hate of the US. They stayed loyal to Britain and for a while, it worked out, but now the Empire is gone, they have a sports logo for a flag, and no one respects them.

China is using them as a two-looney whore and India has turned them into a penal colony. No wonder Alberta wants to get away from it.

Same here. Once I had my cancer diagnosis, it was test after test, scan after scan. In 6 weeks I went in for surgery. Wasn't long after that - chemo, then radiation. It was a tough year, but I can honestly say, except for the radiation treatments, I had phenomenal care. Thank God I don't live in Canada where I would have to fend off MAID.

Here’s what the trial found:

The mRNA shot reduced the absolute risk of getting the flu by just 0.8% compared to a standard flu shot.

And 6.4% of people who received it experienced severe reactions.

We are disappointed to see the FDA approved another disastrous mRNA vaccine.

Pretty sure there was just a story out about how the flu shots have very little to no effect.

IIRC, Hillary Clinton ruined the annual flu shot process decades ago. The process had been that each manufacturer decided which flu strain would be the most common/worst, so that there were a variety of flu shot options each year. Somehow Hillary got involved (remember her meddling in healthcare?), and the government started to pick which flu strain to stop and all flu shot manufacturers then produce the same shots.

How is it unconstitutional? States can set their own rules for how they choose electors. It's stupid to do that national popular vote thing - but seems to be allowed.

"Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector."

355 "Americans think squeezing Iran harder will win concessions that were never part of the agreement," Iran's parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf wrote in a post on X. "Bessent and Hegseth are way out of their league," Ghalibaf added while referring to them as the "clown crew." He stated:

Stop waiting for the clown crew to pull a rabbit out of their hat and clean up the mess you made.

After declaring a new 'offensive' military posture in response to the crisis, Iran is showing no signs of backing off the confrontation with the US in the region. On Wednesday its armed forces warned Gulf countries against hosting or assisting American forces, saying it would be tantamount to joining the war on the US side.

"We wish to warn that any assistance or facilitation provided to the aggressor U.S. military amounts to participation in the U.S. military operation," armed forces chief of staff Ali Abdollahi said.

"It seems unlikely that such a large number of military aircraft, particularly refueling aircraft could be present at regional bases without knowledge of host countries," the official continued as cited in Mehr news agency.

357 If we use the lens of conventional political theory, the Dems' behavior is inexplicable. Trump has seized on 90-10 issues and is using them to break the usual midterm trend of voting for the "out" party. Under game theory, the Dems should also embrace those positions, taking them off the table and then highlighting their popular positions.

This is what Bill Clinton did, not just with the border, but also with violent crime. Remember, he executed a guy during the 1992 campaign, showing he was no Mike Dukakis.

The problem is that the Dems' primary system is empowering the lunatics, and the Dem leadership has clung to power to the point that the party is U-shaped, with a bunch of geriatric politicians clinging to power and now a bunch of young inexperienced Theater Kids challenging them. The GOP has its Turtle, but overall there is a smoother demographic transition underway.

J.D. Vance exemplifies this, which is the the Dems are so scared of him.

The Dems right now are in a purity spiral, and the party may well splinter because the DSA types will not compromise an inch.

In the GOP, the MAGA wing is consolidating power, and by 2028, the last holdouts will have been eliminated.

WOAH 🚨 Lead Anchor at CNN Jake Tapper comes out and admits THEY ALL KNEW Joe Biden wasn’t really President and calling the shots

He says there was an elite inner circle of advisors who would make the decisions and “steer the country.” He gives the names of the people in that group

Again, the mainstream media ALL KNEW Joe Biden wasn’t making decisions

“Tell me about the word choice, and then tell me about those people who were really calling the shots around the president.”

Jake Tapper “So the Politburo, not a term we came up with, it's a term from within the Biden administration, as the name would suggest is a tightly held group of senior advisors — these were the individuals that help steer the government.”

The mainstream media was in on the coverup. How are there no consequences for these people

None were elected so they ran a coup.

They should all be in prison or hanging from ropes. After a swift trial and found guilty.

365 Counter , Counter point, the DSA is taking over the D party, because, unlike other Capital inspired movements, Socialists, once in a majority, take undemocratic measures to make their power absolute.

Bloom County ran strips talking about the vanishing of the American Liberal in the 1980s because they were getting hammered so badly. It moves in cycles.

CNN of course is now trying to make Natalie Harp a story they can use to bash Trump.

They've brought her brother in to help do it.

Erin Burnett is trying her best to get usable soundbites out of him, but he's spaced out and she's having some trouble.

371 Jemele Hill and Don Lemon say Stephen A. Smith has become problematic because he's been hosting "certain" people and hanging out with them
https://x.com/Thechat101/status/2089476502379217320

They feel that he is in a way betraying "black journalism"

This comes after the NABJ gave Smith its 'Thumbs Down' award, citing his commentary about black women, Jasmine Crockett being among them
