The Morning Report — 9/ 15 /26

Morning Report intro.jpg

Good morning kids. Over the years we've all talked about how we as individuals might fight back against political/judicial persecution, and the frontline many spoke of was the concept of Jury nulification. And so, the enemies in our midst have naturally done just that with this Clancy trial. A twisted evil woman slaughters her three children with her own hands and we get a mistrial?! Well, surprise surprise!

A juror who served on the closely watched Lindsay Clancy triple-murder trial has admitted that she came into the trial with a political agenda, namely to set a precedent that could, in her view, help future mothers.

Given who and what the Democrat/Left are I take that to mean help future mothers butcher their children who somehow survived being slaughtered in utero by a Kermit Gosnell with a rusty scissors. That said, it's been rather amusing to watch them twist themselves into knots desperately trying to fight toxic masculinity, while trying not to be evil white supremacists . . .

He was the only juror to understand that murder is criminal, even as another male juror, a soyboy named Nick Dargie, 25, who sided with the women, told Good Morning America, “That toward the end of deliberations, the holdout juror would not engage in discussions with others or provide evidence that supported his reasoning, instead choosing to scroll on his phone.”
Dargie and the other man on the jury who voted with the women, were undoubtedly male feminists. Massachusetts, after all, is an over-the-top woke Democrat state. So woke, in fact, it’s astounding why the prosecution allowed nine women to be on the jury. Those lawyers have obviously not been paying attention to how liberal women have changed the culture.

Because the outcome by all the powers that be was that Clancy is the real victim and so must be exonerated!

Even after everything we have witnessed since the coming of President Trump and really for years before that, only serves to reinforce just how low we have sunk as a nation and as a society. While not as dramatic nor as bloody as 9/11 was, this spectacle and what it portends is in its way equally as catastrophic,unlees and until this beast is retried and found guilty. As it stands that may not be likely certainly not a guilty verdict. And therefore my conclusion about where we are as a society.

Screwed,mightily unless something drastic changes and puts us back on the rails.

For now, have a good day.

Legal immigration must be strictly controlled, and it must be a real bitch to become a citizen here, if for nothing else, to make it worth it. Something like this: we have full employment? Sure, we allow more legal immigrants if you got the skills we need. But if we are in a recession? Turn off the taps. Sorry, with high unemployment, we can’t bring in more people.

Illegal immigration will always offend me as long as I have to go through a PoE and deal with CBP to get in my own country. I was brought into the world by an evil legal immigrant. So I cannot take the view legal immigrants bring zero value. Unless I am a hypocrite. But I want that strictly controlled.

22 Maybe whig or someone would know. Did Senators serve at the pleasure of state governors prior to the 17th amendment? That is, was there a mechanism for recall at the state level, either the governor or state legislature?

At the time, “progressives” wanted direct election of Senators, but also because the system had locked up. A couple states could not really decide and were without a Senator or two for a while. It’s another one of those government things where the cure was probably worse than the disease. That seems to happen a lot.

50 Not liable to be a public charge has been black letter federal law since at least 1882. Most if not all countries work the same way.

They won’t even let you in the country as a visitor if they figure you don’t have the means to leave. Imagine that.

During the Depression. California had state patrol at highway checkpoints. They had no jobs available nor housing nor anything else for hordes of people wanting to move there. That’s what that old commie Woodie Guthrie was bitching about in the tune he wrote “Do Re Mi”, you had to have a certain amount of money before they would let you in the state. Legal, maybe. Maybe not. Understandable.

IOW, he wants it more partisan. Apparently the large number of 5:4 and 6:3 outcomes just screams partisan.

Nine "justices" is already too many. Take one foreign-born female District "judge" in a shit hole district, who is the product of true Blue Slip partisan appointment, can, without any real attempt to identify any reasoned judicial finding, make a bat scat insane ruling that effects the entire planet all by herself.

She has the power over Presidents, the Constitution, Nature, We The People, Immutable Laws of Physics—all by herself. No need to have eight other "judges" dilute or challenge her dictates.

Oil is fungible, as they say. It’s a world wide market. When oil prices go up somewhere, demand pressure goes up everywhere, and prices rise.

And it’s hard to face, but the pressure is only on consumers. The US is making a big net profit from this price rise, as we’re now the biggest oil exporter. The State of Texas is making hundreds of millions of dollars in increased royalties and excise payments, as are the producers.

The problem is that the costs and benefits are divided in a politically unpopular way.

But perhaps we should take a look inwardly. Let's suppose you were some Russian potato farmer and you clicked on the internet to get your latest update on the state of the west and your feed showed you Lindsay Clancy stories, Folsom Street Fair stories, stories of school teachers pushing transgender ideology on children, black teen takeovers, lighting up the Freedom Tower to celebrate full-term abortion, negroes performing Wet Ass Pussy on stage after receiving their Grammy Award, and various other aspects of the late-stage Republic.

Depended upon the state.

Apparently, what’s good for the goose is not good for the gander. The worker who was putting up the Flock camera called the cops on Keefe, who was treated to a Hut! Hut! Hut! for doing what Flock does. The cops rolled up on him and detained him for nearly 20 minutes, despite Keefe’s not having done anything illegal.

Just like Flock says it’s not doing..

Whether it's military hardware or datacenters, it is the same story.

Their programmers are shit. Their ability to manufacture needed kit for AI is shit. They simply do not have the capability to match the US in AI (or nearly anything else.)

The anti-datacenter gambit is solely to slow us down and allow China time to surpass our dominance in that realm. They're also willing to pay big monies to do it. And they've got a willing cadre of politicians and an army of Internet bots on their side. Convincing the public is part of the deal.

I don't know where you are drawing your source, but V6/8 engines a generation ago used less oil (~5 qts) than today (~7). Also oil then was more often non-synthetic since the oils didn't have to be complex chemically engineered synthetic product to deal with turbochargers, variable valve timing systems, timing chains, direct injection engines, far tighter tolerances and emission systems.

Of course, back then oil changes were every 3-5k miles, where, for reasons, they expect longer service intervals between 7.5k-10k.

There really isn't any comparison anymore.

It's the excuse they're using to prevent the rule from going into place for 2026. Alito's dissent was quite good.

--------

Alito contended that the U.S. Postal Service possesses "broad authority to regulate the mail" and that the new rules—which require uniform ballot envelopes and state submission of voter lists—are similar to standard mailing requirements rather than an overreach of federal power.

Although Alito acknowledged the "practical concerns" of implementing the rules so close to Election Day, he dismissed these timing issues as insufficient to deny the government emergency relief. He further criticized his colleagues and the litigating states for causing unnecessary delays, arguing that the Court’s own handling of the case over the summer contributed to the current time crunch.

Once upon a time, American Indians were at the top of the Left's Victim Pyramid. From about 1970 to 1975, plus or minus. I never understood it, but I was a dumb teenager then. Maybe Cher was the well-known Indian that sparked Hollywood's love affair with American Indians. Then, in 1973 (?) Hollywood and the rest of the left went gaga over Sascheen Littlefeather, since revealed as a fake. (If you don't know that story, it's not worth looking up nowadays.) Buffy Ste. Marie, since revealed as a fake. And others.

But the Left eventually realized there weren't enough Indians in any state to make an electoral difference for Democrats. Other than at very local levels. So the Left pushed blacks back up to the top of the pyramid. Indians are now used by the left only to prevent construction of things the Left doesn't like. Beyond that, the Left now doesn't care if every Indian man drank himself to death by age 25.

The Seventies were crazy, my friends.

124 Their programmers are shit.

How? Statistic after statistic shows that the average Chinese IQ is much higher than the average American IQ. Their education programs are far more rigorous than the West's. Their culture is more oriented towards academic and white collar achievement. They have a pool of talent that is far larger than in the West.

And as Pixy has been demonstrating, AI is doing a LOT of programming. I'm literally sitting here staring out the window or looking at this website while GPT 5.6 Sol is generating mountains of code for me. Albeit, the task is basic ETL and I did provide excellent examples and prompts.

I don't believe that the President has the authority to ban the export of oil. Further, we import gasoline - since we lack sufficient refining capacity - so banning the export of oil would probably be met by other countries banning us from buying gasoline which would make the issue that you're complaining about worse.

130 The anti-datacenter gambit is solely to slow us down and allow China time to surpass our dominance in that realm. They're also willing to pay big monies to do it. And they've got a willing cadre of politicians and an army of Internet bots on their side. Convincing the public is part of the deal.

If China gets the ability to monitor and store all of its citizens communications, viewing habits, monetary transactions and movements in real time before we do, we're screwed.

146 "Texas Republicans were already fretting about slipping support with voters of color. Then Bo French got on X.

The Republican nominee for Texas Railroad Commissioner posted a photo of a crowd of University of Texas football fans, most of them people of color, saying, “The problem is now obviously far worse than anyone imagined.”The Sunday morning comments, which appeared to target South Asian students, sent Lone Star Republicans into a frenzy, worried about the impact the rhetoric could have on GOP candidates up and down the ballot, including Attorney General Ken Paxton’s high-profile Senate race and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s reelection fight.

A number of Republican lawmakers, including some in tough races, quickly denounced the post as racist, as others squirmed with carefully worded statements. And GOP operatives winced at the potential electoral backlash — in a year that’s already looking tougher-than-normal for a party that has dominated the state for decades. Still, no one explicitly called for him to drop out of the race"

Not focused on per se. Both are absolutely a critical component of a classical education. Don’t be fooled, the leftists sabotaged education long ago. They couched it in terms “We teach students how to think, not what to think” lying the whole time.

Names, dates, facts, and figures are important. That’s why they deleted it. Even Trivia is important. More than once in my life, some seemingly useless bit of information I retained for no other reason than maybe knowledge for knowledge’s sake literally saved my ass.

It has always stuck in my craw whenever some MFer in “education” started bitching about “rote memorization”. Usually in conjunction with standardized testing. They are all fucking clowns. That’s why after a few generations we wake up to Clown World. This is not a coincidence

That is fresh engineering. They have also made a commodity out of firmware, drivers and the myriad of things that run off of it.

Because only retards click on the "Do This One Simple Trick"

Let say that a thinking person decided to lose weight. It would involve far more than a GLP injection. A thinking person would consider, stratify, and do all the things like consider insulin resistance and compose a campaign of sleep, diet, exercise, fasting, stress-management, environment and other modalities; strategically implementing each vector to maximize managing insulin.

The food would be targeted to not spike insulin, to not lose too much muscle (like fad diets and medications invariably do), to possibly induce ketosis... Exercise would be timed, chosen and performed to work in harmony with the other effects.,

So China sending out cheap propaganda is one tool out of many that they are simultaneously using.

202 New York Post-
Report cards for California’s students reveal a major crisis in education.

Not because the grades are too low. Rather, because they are too high.

Grade inflation is rampant in the Golden State, where the number of students receiving straight A’s is going up, even as reading and math test scores are plunging.

The number of applicants to University of California schools with perfect 4.0 GPAs has doubled.

Meanwhile, on campus, professors complain that students can’t handle basic skills.

Here's an idea, how about we don't go along with the media outrage. French's comment might have been a bit rough but he is absolutely right about universities going overtime to bring in foreign students at the expense of US kids. Exactly what we have been complaining about for years.

Of course this also points out the notion that the magic dirt of the US turns people into small r republican voters as soon as they get a ballot is absurd.

216 >> Supreme Court Blocks Trump’s Mail-In Ballot Reforms.

Once again, the Supreme Court who is so sooper conservative that Democrats want to further corrupt them, rules in favor of Democrats on a pretty clear cut election issue. Even Kavanaugh had to admit in concurrence that the plan was probably legal, but too close to the election. So he, Roberts, Gorsuch and ACB voted with the Democrats liberal clown posse.

You have to wonder how many times that group will fall for the Democrats scheme to use the courts as a means of running out the clock, only for the court to say it’s too close to the election. Which is what Alito and Thomas said in dissent.

They might as well wear kick me signs. And they want to know why nobody has any faith in the courts when they keep falling for the banana in the tailpipe over and over again.

Let me tell you something about their IQ. The parents will and do spend tons of money on tutors, extracurricular classes, and everything else they need, to drill, drill, drill. Then they pass the tests. That is how they do it. It's not some innate higher IQ. I'd say most people can be trained to perform well on tests.

It is not by accident that Jews are over represented in filed patents.

I understand the fun in manipulating arguments by doing large number statistics, like "average temperature of the Earth".

Lets look at the Pareto Principle, I don't care if the 80% are drooling retards because it is the 20% who get shit done.

Given how DEI has sent a significant chunk of that 20% to smoke dope, play video games and beat off in the basement of mom's house, AI has been a wonderful tool in the 5% who REALLY get shit done, so even if 95% are goof-offs and smooth brains, the 5% is pulling the load.

How China compares in fielding their 5% vs Jewish 5% or Western 5%? Are there even honest studies?

227 They claim they don't want you to parrot the answer but to "understand" it - and then parrot it. They want to know they own your mind

Exactly. The mind is like a computer hard drive, in a way. The idea is to fill it early on, and get an operating system that allows one to navigate life. All those facts and figures and names and dates won’t necessarily be useful right away. But they will he invaluable when older, when higher order thinking matures.

They do not want people thinking for themselves. And they do not want people to be able to draw upon history or anything that went on before. It’s always Year Zero in the leftist world.

That’s why they denigrate “rote memorization” and “teaching for the test”. They are nothing more than mind saboteurs at this point.

In truth, Shaima Alawadi's husband killed her in an act of domestic violence that he staged to look like a hate crime.

El-Sayed, in an article on March 28, 2012, equated Alawadi's killing with the shooting of Trayvon Martin, a black Florida teenager, as examples of the "racism, xenophobia, and hate" in American society against minorities.

329 Karl Rove is the distillation of the Boomer lib Republican:
- utterly insignificant and completely unaccomplished but for a quirk of fate
- pathologically driven to constantly seek praise from the left
- neurotic paranoia at ever being called a racist

But for 600 votes in FL twenty six years ago, no one would know his name.

And he'd rather destroy the country--let the Dems win--than let anyone accuse him, no matter how unfounded or malicious the charge, of being a racist.

And remember:
His grand political strategy was not "deliver on campaign promises" it was "what are you stupid losers going to do, vote for the other guy? He's worse!"

No wonder the establishment scumbags love him.

I agree we can't run and hide from "controversial" thoughts. The problem is how many "controversial" thoughts come from real deal people (precious few) and how many come from people attempting sabotage from within (so many).

Romney had some controversial thoughts of his own ("47%") but instead of standing behind them dealt with them in a mealy mouthed dishonest fashion, which only hurts us and any controversial thoughts we might have.

From above, 'A juror who served on the closely watched Lindsay Clancy triple-murder trial has admitted that she came into the trial with a political agenda, namely to set a precedent that could, in her view, help future mothers.'

I have held to - since the trial was ongoing - that the defense has a way bigger problem defending RN Clancy than it seems on the surface. And so, not only must the Court go back and examine the gentleman's - and I'll refer to him as such until there's solid evidence he's not - pre-trial questionnaire, but also the woman who has acknowledged an agenda and her accomplices - at least two other women and perhaps Nick Dargie, too. (Though he struck me as cellar dweller with more of a Mommy problem than agenda, now it's being reported he's a U.S. Army veteran who was overseas (South Korea) when the children were viscously murdered in 2023.) Who knows? There could be motive as he beat a fast path to the press to get out front, defend the girl gang, and point at another man as obstructive, uncooperative.

During a legislative panel on 9/10/26, the speaker fielded questions regarding the anniversary of a 9/11 attacks. She recalled her time as a college student during the tragedy and stated that American is at risk of another terrorist attack, adding:

"Thank God we've not had another attack...But we have to also recognize that our policies are impacting our perception around the world."

Republican Whip Tim O'Neal issued a public statement calling on the House of Representatives to denounce her remarks. He accused McClinton of using the anniversary to pivot into a critique of the federal government and falsely inferring that Americans brought the disaster upon themselves.

State Senator Scott Martin criticized her on social media, arguing her emphasis should be on understanding the concerns of the victims' families.

Dan Bartkowiak of the PA Family Council publicly questioned whether she was suggesting that U.S. domestic & immigration policies somehow justified the hostility of the terrorists.
