The Morning Report — 8/ 31 /26
More than 20 actors from the Marvel universe — including Mark Ruffalo, Benedict Cumberbatch, Ian McKellen, Cate Blanchett and Tilda Swinton — have joined a campaign calling for the release of Marwan Barghouti. . . . This is what happens when Hollywood’s woke celebrity club substitutes ideology for facts. . . Barghouti, the convicted head of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, is not in an Israeli prison because Israel disagrees with his politics or because he wrote an anti-Israel manifesto; he was charged with five murders, attempted murder and membership in a terrorist organization. He received a fair trial in an Israeli civilian court and was convicted, receiving five life sentences. . . . . . Perhaps that is the problem with the Marvel campaign. These are limousine liberals at their most comfortable: wealthy, privileged and insulated from the consequences of the causes they champion. They have spent their careers playing superheroes, but appear to know remarkably little about the history they are now trying to rewrite. They sit comfortably in their movie studio trailers and pronounce moral judgments on a bitter conflict in which they have no personal stake and, judging by this campaign, very little understanding. . . A man convicted of murdering five people, including an American citizen, cannot be transformed into a symbol of peace because the red carpet revolutionaries have decided to make him one.Red carpet indeed: red with the blood of innocents and the red of communism. Well, how did we get to this point. Sadly, it's as plain as the hooked nose on my Brooklyn Jewboy face! And I say that proudly!
Numbers from the following Brandeis report, American Undergraduates and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, show 18% support for Hamas among college students and 15% favorability for Israel.. . … this isn’t just about Israel. Or America. Colleges have normalized degrees of extremism on campus that reflect something like the Weathermen and Al Qaeda wrapped in a bow.Yes, Ruffalo is the only American of the bunch that I can spot but along with the others perhaps it's a toxic mix of just innate Jew-hatred along with likely pandering to a receptive audience to their odious beliefs as a means to drive ticket sales. Either way these disgusting degenerates are the useful idiots of those who seek our destruction. Not just the Jews but All of us. Every last one of us who are collectively guilty of preventing them from creating their paradise on earth.
University campuses are notorious for promoting “safe spaces” where dissenting opinions are labeled as “violence.” Yet within the cushioned walls of the Ivory Tower, professors are increasingly using their lecterns to encourage literal violence in pursuit of radical agendas.That would be bad enough, but I hate to be the bearer of bad news; the radicalization and brainwashing are beginning long before college.
In 2025, Texas passed a law that mandated a financial literacy course requirement for students in grades 9 through 12: HB 27 modifies Section 28.025 of the Texas Education Code to expand and strengthen personal financial literacy instruction for high school students. Under the bill, students will be required to complete a dedicated one-half credit in personal financial literacy as part of their social studies coursework to graduate. This requirement separates financial literacy from the previously combined economics and financial literacy course structure, allowing for more focused and practical instruction in managing money, budgeting, savings, credit, loans, and other real-life financial concepts. . . .NGPF repeatedly champions the notion that people must be made equal through government action––a foundational premise of both socialism and woke ideology. Students taking this curriculum are explicitly asked to find a relationship between justice and reparations. In fact, NGPF utilizes an entire section to promote reparations through biased history lessons that assert that reparations are merely “one step on the path toward racial justice.” A curriculum being pushed on every Texas public high school — and maybe every state by 2030 — teaches students that equal treatment is unjust and equalized outcomes are "justice." That is socialism.You can bet your sweet ass that poison like this is happening as far back as kindergarten if not pre-school. Unless and until we utterly retake academia, we are finished as a nation and society. But never fear, our would-be Islamic overlords will one day be running our schools and they'll all be sharia-compliant. Have a good day.

Reminds me of that passage in 1 Samuel when the Lord’s anger was kindled against Uzzah for touching the ark and he smote him dead. And Uzzah had good intentions! Oh that the Lord would do more smiting amongst the IRGC and mullahs… the US military and IDF could be an instrument of the Lord in that smiting. Smiting… wonderful old word

In today's crop report, the corn harvest is in. In Eastern Kansas, yields are excellent, getting worse going west. Western Kansas had drought and persistent 100-degree heat to burn up hopes of a big harvest.
Overall, yields average slightly lower than normal.
Federal crop subsidies harm the fragile water table in Western Kansas.

Well, the biggest event of the summer here in Fort Collins, CO, the Tour de Fat* was marred by tragedy when a driver drove his car onto a crowded sidewalk, killing one and injuring five. Rumor is that it was a confused old man. Really tragic. Imagine going out for a fun afternoon, out on a restaurant patio with your friends or family, and poof, just like that your life is over.

CA Secretary of State Insists Gym ID Is All the Voter ID Anyone Needs
In view of all of the means of fraud the Left must engage in to secure any sort of "election" victory, I'm totally convinced that polls are only useful in measuring the effectiveness of Demonic Party vote fraud in any given election.
It may explain why polling today is so far from reality—they must keep recalibrating for all of the judicial activism that is employed to thwart any serious attempt at reducing election rigging.

Israel’s inability to give the Death Penalty to convicted terrorists is a huge and almost inexplicable weakness. I believe it’s led to the bizarre situation where it is far preferable to use the military to kill suspects than to ever make any effort to capture them.
Short term, I agree that it’s absolutely necessary. But it’s a complete failure of civilian justice systems that has made this necessary.

The left isn't worried about citizens being unable to vote, they're worried about imaginary, illegal, and multiple voting being blocked.

I'm convinced Democrats have annual meetings to think of every which way to Sunday they can cheat and manufacture ballots. The election fraud in this country is off the charts, I'm convinced, like never before. It's almost comical if it weren't so dire.

Mamdani, AOC and Bernie are the public face of the Democratic Socialists of America. Its roots go back to the 1970s when founder Michael Harrington's decided to take over the Democratic party from within when he concluded that independent socialist parties could never win on their own. The idea was to organize as nominal Democrats to win at the local level and then metastasize.
AOC has always been DSA. She won a literal DSA beauty contest to get their backing to win her seat in 2018. She was a dues paying member at the time but went on the down low after she took her seat. Now she's publicly declaring her allegiance.
Mamdami adds Islam to the mix.

“If you believe Trump is using (Department of Justice) attorneys to prosecute his enemies and further his political interests, you should find it equally troubling that Tish (James) is doing exactly the same thing,” Wiesenfeld wrote, according to the Times Union.
“I ask that you not serve as Tish’s personal attorneys by targeting her political enemies. Instead, I hope you choose to prosecute crimes and find the individuals accountable, rather than targeting individuals and then finding crimes,” he wrote.

George McGovern changes his philosophy and actions after he tried to work in the private sector. He struggled. All this after he left politics.
There should be only political candidates who worked in the private sector. No NGOs, no student government types, few MBAs, no poly-sci majors. They are worse than useless.

This is what happens when Hollywood’s woke celebrity club substitutes ideology for facts. . . Barghouti, the convicted head of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, is not in an Israeli prison because Israel disagrees with his politics or because he wrote an anti-Israel manifesto; he was charged with five murders, attempted murder and membership in a terrorist organization. He received a fair trial in an Israeli civilian court and was convicted, receiving five life sentences. . .

Radical Chic
Radical chic is the fashionable practice of upper-class people associating with politically radical people and causes. The journalist Tom Wolfe coined the term in his article "Radical Chic: That Party at Lenny's", which New York magazine published in June 1970. The term has since become widely used in American English, French and Italian. Unlike dedicated activists, revolutionaries or dissenters, those who engage in "radical chic" remain frivolous political agitators—ideologically invested in their cause of choice only so far as it advances their liberal elite social standing.

Here are the four takeaways. 1. Fish trumps it all For those outside Iceland, it was tempting to analyse the referendum through a geopolitical lens: Russia's war on Ukraine, China's unfair competition and, of course, Donald Trump and his punitive tariffs and threats to annex Greenland. But the key driver of the vote was none other than fish. The country jealously protects its fishing rights.

How many times do these judges need to be rebuffed before they stop?
If I understand the situation correctly, SCOTUS vacated the previous hold because the final rules weren't in place so no one could show how they'd be harmed. Now the final rules are in place. No one has been harmed and no real, legitimate, Democrat voter is likely to BE harmed - postal workers will still discard Republican ballots if they can - but it's a slightly different situation and so we begin the circus yet again.

Blue haired nose pierced broad said, "Get out of here and don't come back!"

IN WWII, the Soviets were our ally, needed to end Hitler. They were touted by most.
Even though the Soviet government was much more evil than Hitler, and started WWII via a pact with Germany.

I happened to see an old Johnny Carson over the weekend from 1982 or 83 I think. A young Bill Maher made his first appearance, did some standup. He was actually funny… interesting given his later open hostility to religion he actually worked religion into that act in a positive way… talked about how his mom was Jewish and dad catholic; how even though raised Catholic his Jewishness would slip in like for instance when he’d bring his lawyer to the confessional…

True story - after he retired from politics, McGovern took to running a small resort hotel that he bought. After a few years he said "Now I understand why owners were complaining about overregulation and government interfering with what they need to do, I never did before."
McGovern had a distinguished military career, but before that Hotel stint he had never held a private job in his life.

also some state schools with small populations will suffer and have to consolidate/get smaller somehow when people stick with their own state school (the newest trend). bc they operate mostly from OOS higher tuition

Karl also asked whether she could challenge Schumer. Ocasio-Cortez replied that “anything is possible at this juncture.” Schumer’s seat is up in 2028.
Translation: she ruled out nothing, committed to nothing, and left every door open while collecting the goodwill that comes with being coy about a presidential run.
But she’s also rejoined the socialists, reshuffled her staff, and gotten cozy with the Sanders machine. For someone who’s just trying to win a House race, that’s a lot of groundwork to be laying. Make of that what you will.

Even though the Soviet government was much more evil than Hitler, and started WWII via a pact with Germany.

amusing alternate history; Hitler annexed Austria and Czechoslovakia in 1938. Ribbentrop /molotov pact was not signed until late 1939, when Stalin realized in which direction hordes of nazis were moving, thinking he could outsmart and outplay hitler. Hitler invaded first, before stalin was ready. As far as Soviet Govt being more evil the nazi germany, I beg to differ. Hitler's "final solution" was the most evil plot in history. Gulags had nothing on systemic genocide that hitler practiced.

The limousine liberals needed a new "Free Mumia!"cause. Free Mumia! is stale. Newly-hatched limousine liberals need an up-to-date political prisoner cause. An Anti-JOOOO political prisoner cause. A cause that appeals to people enamored with the current top-of-the-pyramid oppressed group, Muslims. Who are not oppressed in the West (and not truly oppressed in Gaza) but will be pictured as such. Because the Left sees US Muslims as a fast-growing voting block the Left must capture to stay in power.

This coming weekend, you'll see firefighters collecting money for MDA during their fill the boot campaign. I would encourage everyone not to give their money to this effort. While the money does go to research, some of this money is given back to the IAFF, the firefighter's union. Since 2007, the IAFF has received over $15 million from MDA. It's a kickback scheme for the union. One year I looked at, the IAFF was the second largest recipient of MDA money, only behind John's Hopkins. Don't fall for the "this money only goes to helping kids with MD."

I suspect all of the celebutards have ideological handlers, probably based in the talent management and its pr functionaries. Years ago, Richard Dreyfuss admitted that he got a lot of his political takes from an anonymous person tied to his entourage as part of his 'education'. I would not be surprised, given the role that managers now have almost complete control of social media, public appearances, lifestyle as portrayed, etc. etc. that they don't also control and manage any political expression of the actors.
And management is probably reacting to Arab money that ends up financing a lot of projects as 'partners'.
Follow the money and there are no accidents are good rules to follow in this fake and gay age.

War was not inevitable after the Munich Agreement. Even the subsequent taking all of Czechoslovakia was not the trigger for WWII.
It did give time for the UK to bring Fighter Command to an operational status, and other reforms needed. The French squandered the timel.
But carving up Poland, with no Second Front for Germany, was removing the chocks from a bulldozer on a hill.
The parallel is the Russian Mobilization prior to WWI is what was irreversibly a path to war.

They want to run a scam to benefit themselves, then they pay taxes on it and so do the donors.

She compared AI book shredding to a flood, a museum fire, or a similar disastrous event that wipes out a repository of human knowledge and culture.
"It hits the same nerve."
Becker agrees with this and thinks the practice of destructive book shredding, particularly to train AI, triggers something "visceral" in people. "I do think we lose something culturally when certain books are deemed as commodities or expendable," he said.

Because Germany was stupid enough to desire to finish its Eastern and Western enemies by attacking and destroying France and then pivoting to the East. It should have left the rotting Hapsburg dynasty to fight Russia on its own.
Dismissal of Bismarck and the pig ignorant German saber rattling for almost twenty years after led to uniting the French and Russians in alliance system which led to the rather pointless Germany counter alliance chaining itself to the dead corpse of the Hapsburg Empire and the duplicitous Italians that wanted Austrian territory itself.
And the von Schiefflen plan specifically required violating Belgian neutrality which the German and more importantly the UK government were required to respect by treaty. The plan thought that UK could not deploy in time and the war would be short.
Germans were both arrogant and stupid in figuring their tactical needs superseded their strategic needs from the plan all came about from the tumultuous Kaiser, drab and untalented civil government, and the avaricious and arrogant Prussianized military.

War was not inevitable after the Munich Agreement. Even the subsequent taking all of Czechoslovakia was not the trigger for WWII.
It did give time for the UK to bring Fighter Command to an operational status, and other reforms needed. The French squandered the timel.
But carving up Poland, with no Second Front for Germany, was removing the chocks from a bulldozer on a hill.

All of what you are saying is a supposition based on some "historians' " rosy reading of hitler, and shifting the responsibility from hitler and Western Europe for trying to make nice with him. Taking of Czechoslovakia and inability of the rest of Europe to defend it, gave what hitler needed, proof that no one will stand in the way. a couple of squadrons were not sufficient against hitler's war machine, and no one saw much of a problem with what hitler was doing between 1934-1939 anyway.

Cost to the entire family. I think this is often why in our ancient past, any person trying to buck the establishment and reform ends up becoming a tyrant in order to make the reforms stick. Those in the loose fake and gay ruling class of today don't want their powers and privileges curtailed and will do everything other than fight themselves to save them.
These critters have no honor and can/will stoop to the lawfare, the assassinations, the riots, the marches, the deplatforming, the smears, depriving finances, etc.
What they won't do is put on a uniform, proclaim themselves to be fighting a civil war, and put their own precious asses on the line. They believe their lackeys will do that for them.
They fight like their ally, the Intelligence Community apparatchiks in the dark, stabbing in the back, secret communications, secret networks, and full of lies and deceit.

Lots of alternative history stories start from that premise. But no one writes about a peaceful time with no WWII.

One did not have to be Bismarck to see that pushing the French Republic and the Russians together was a colossal mistake. But Kaiser Wilhelm II was so volcanic as well as being stupid, that he could not balance the arrogant German military establishment with the civil government. And that military establishment spent all its time, money, and effort figuring out how to defeat its continental rivals on land.
Then to add to its insanity, figuring out that Germany, a nation with scant colonial resources, suddenly needed a navy capable of competing with the Royal Navy.
Kaiser Wilhelm II being a blustery clown, could never serve as a check on the military and neither could the weak civilian government and its diplomatic corp.

Seems Anthropic is "butt hurt" over the “supply-chain risk” designation was but I don't see the First Amendment issue. The Pentagon can remove the designation but continue to tell all departments that certain requirements are now in force that would effectively do the same thing.

Last paragraph, "The Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, is likely to resist his release unless there is strong pressure from the US. Donald Trump this week invited Netanyahu to the While House in he "near future," a visit that, should it happen, would be the Israeli leader's fifth since Trump returned to office in January."
And so much for accuracy in journalism..
However, their appeal to the "United Nations and the governments of the world (is) to actively seek the release of Marwan Barghouti from Israeli prison."
The Israeli Prime Minister is expected to visit NY in September to speak at the UN. And so those monsters appear to be looking to stir up even more trouble in the US, perhaps more so in NYC, at a time where increased law enforcement visibility is absolutely necessary.
The country is preparing to host a national remembrance of the 25th anniversary of 9/11, across the main attack sites. Additionally, the Jewish holiday, Rosh Hashanah, begins at sunset on September 11, and goes through nightfall of September 13th, and then Yom Kippur starts at sunset September 20, and goes through nightfall of September 21st.
Unless and until...Amen.
