The Morning Report — 9/ 28 /26

Morning Report intro.jpg

Good morning kids. Over the weekend a powerful Nor'easter blew up over the east coast, causing much inconvenience and destruction as well as tragically one death. Hopefully none of you were affected too severely or at all. But it's the weather and it is what it is. Mercifully the one thing that hasn't really been blowing much are the blowhard global warming doomers. That myth at long lasts seems to be fading. Of course, so long as there is government and other money to be grifted it will continue until the suckers, including federal and state treasuries, are sucked dry. Colleague friend and Cob CBD had an outstanding piece on this and it's well worth a second if not first read.


Last week we noted that so far there had been zero Atlantic hurricanes, a record. For the first time in 112 years, we’ve now gone this deep into hurricane season without one. Of course the media ignore this monumental phenomenon because it doesn’t fit the global warming tale. So what other inconvenient facts are they covering up? Here’s a partial list. . . Activists, Democrat politicians, the media, and general population cranks have long pointed to the worst-case-scenario, everyone-is-on-fire, the sky-is-aflame predictions pumped out by the United Nations as reason to stop using fossil fuels. As it turns out, the U.N admits the extreme forecasts are “implausible.” Will any of the purveyors of this fiction own up to their error, write lengthy articles explaining why they were wrong to trust the U.N. or apologize for unnecessarily stirring up fear? Former climate activist/climate reporter Lucy Biggers, now head of social media at The Free Press, recently confessed that she “never covered positive climate stories because it would muddy the message that climate change was an existential threat that was burning the planet.” She would cover the stories “that made the climate look worse.” This is “why we rarely see events like this year’s historically quiet eastern hurricane season covered widely by the news,” she adds. “Many reporters believe covering it will give fodder to climate change deniers.”

Naturally grift and fear is what keeps the Democrat Socialites of America going, that and the lust for absolute power to take us down.

Far-left candidates, especially members of the Democratic Socialists of America, are doubling down on the GND. . . President Trump also understands that the only surefire way to ensure that the United States has uninterrupted ample energy on hand is by going all in on the only energy sources that can supply dependable power no matter the weather conditions or time of day. Under present circumstances, based on a recent Heartland Institute energy scorecard, “natural gas makes the most sense according to the affordable, reliable, and clean standard, with nuclear, hydro, and coal not far behind. Biomass trails by a moderate margin while wind and solar stand apart as the least desirable power sources.” The revelation that fossil fuels and nuclear get the best energy bang for the buck should not be a surprise. Neither should the fact that wind and solar are far less reliable, more costly, and much worse for the environment.

Meanwhile, we move from the most serious threat to our existence to something that happened over the weekend that is the height of frivolity, as you can plainly see, so apologies in advance for my flippancy!

British authorities arrested five men near a military base hosting U.S. forces early Sunday on suspicion of preparing a terrorist attack. RAF Fairford, in Gloucestershire in southwestern England, serves as a forward operating location for the U.S. Air Force Global Strike Command and has recently been used to launch B-52 and B-1 bombers targeting Iran.

President Donald Trump praised the arrests while speaking to reporters Sunday and said the United States had worked with British authorities on the case. “The arrest in the UK was fantastic,” he said. “Working with Britain, it was an amazing job. We had them under investigation.” Trump said the suspects were “looking to do big damage” and that the group had been under watch “for a long time.”

Great, now do the terrorists here at home!

San Antonio Socialists Call for ICE to Leave Austin After Shooting Incident. . . A few dozen protesters showed up at San Antonio’s City Hall to protest the shooting of a 28-year-old Venezuelan illegal alien during a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) action on September 20. The poorly attended protest, organized by the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), drew little attention from passing tourists visiting the Alamo City on Friday.

Meh, the President should surge every ICE agent in the nation to Austin and San Antonio and kick every wetback within reach across the Rio Grande as far south to Tierra Del Fuego or the Ross Ice Shelf that they can.

And speaking of Democrat terrorism.

Nearly 60 Democrat members of Congress signed a letter to sound an alarm: Black Americans are being found hanging, including some from trees, in a wave of possible “modern-day lynchings.” . . . Every suspicious death deserves investigation. But history is not evidence. What are the facts? Demartravion “Trey” Reed, 21, was found hanging at Delta State University in Cleveland, Mississippi. The medical examiner found no foul play and ruled the death suicide. His family confirmed that his girlfriend said Reed sent suicidal texts the previous night.

If I was spawned and named Demartravion, I'd put on Klan robes and lynch myself faster than you can say Robert Sheets Byrd!

Dear Lord, Lopecia Pressley, Titty Caca Cortez and all the rest of them can't go to Hell fast enough to suit me, because that is where they are driving us...

Have a good day.

Cats are trainable at early ages but can be trained later in life. Woman a few blocks away adopted a feral cat who took to captivity so well that she would put him in a kitty stroller, didn't need to secure the netting, and he would hop out and hop back in after doing the sniffing-all-the-things thing. I think he passed on last year. Really cool cat.

I am honestly surprised there is a venue outside of the two universities in town that can hold 1200 people, but be that as it may, I thought it interesting Kathy Hochul skipped the AOC event, which is being called a warm up to a Senate run against Schumer in 2028. After all, Hochul never skips a Madmani event it seems.

And I just adore the panic-mongering of "One dead and 100,000 without power!" You mean, it slaughtered all of ... ONE person? ONE? And you're trying to write that as a doom headline? And 100,000 without power means 1 city; maybe several small towns. They didn't even bother to name this one (I hadn't even heard it was coming. It just rained alot. And not even a LOT lot, just a regular lot. I got all of ONE flash flooding alert in the last week. When a decent storm can bring two or three.)

Log into the router and change the channel. A new neighbor started hammering my wifi. I changed the channel and everything has been great since.

Get a WiFi analyzer app on your phone or tablet. You can see all of the channels in use around you. I found out there were about 30 WiFi access points of some sort around with a strong enough signal to interfere with mine. And there aren't anywhere near that number of houses around me. But I could find a channel un-between all those others. (I almost went out and got a really high power access point, just to turn it on at its most powerful setting and leave it there, with no network attached and randomly changing channels.)

California elections have been fubarred for quite some time.

And in both instances, that ain’t happening.

91 I wonder what I should call my network for maximum privacy?

Seriously though, hide the SSID.

If not, go to upsidedowntext.com or something similar and generate a useful name. Most routers and modern devices can handle the Unicode. Or find a character in the international set that looks a lot like a Latin charset value.

Copy and Paste that into whatever devices you want to hook up. The complexity will keep people away and the upside down text will scare them off that you are a weirdo.

Pro Tip: Unless you have metered bandwidth, use the Guest Network feature. Keep it at 2.4GHz Make it simple, use your phone number as a password and have every single device in your house, except your primary computer use it.

Far too many Chinesium "smart devices" explore your network. Your TV, your thermostat, your Alexa device, any smart appliances. Sandbox them. If your router supports it, close every listening port in the sandbox. Some routers let you throttle the bandwidth. Use it.

No one piggybacks a slow network.

If they are working, they may be stealing someone ID; if not, they may be working off the books. Ask them if it is OK now for all American citizens to stop paying taxes, or is it only legal to engage in tax fraud if you are an illegal.

If they are not working, ask them how it is that the Dark Angel of Unaffordability has skipped their house. Whereas millions of Americans can't afford anything but the illegal is doing fine. Theft? Drug dealing? Welfare and Entitlement abuse?

Crimes orchestrated: murders of of Greek monk Tsibouktsakis Germanus in Jerusalem on June 12, 2001; Yoela Hen in Jerusalem on January 15, 2002; Eli Dahan, Yosef Habi, and Salim Barakat in Tel Aviv on March 5, 2002.
He was acquitted of 21 counts of murder in 33 other attacks, due to lack of sufficient evidence.
Founder and senior official of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade.
Head of the Tanzim, an armed faction in Fatah.
Showed no remorse for the murders he committed.

Rush actually pointed this out in the 1990s that his ratings go up when Dems win and go down when the GOP has power.

159 If you take a comparative statistical look at some of the polling it is way off. The amount and type of negative stories coming from the msm are a different flavor of the same thing- and ubiquitous. It’s a constant demoralization effort to try and keep Republican numbers depressed and to allow the mail in vote fraud op to work.

It’s not organic or real. It’s organized and fake.

This tactic has worked for them before in states like Georgia, etc.

Don’t fall for it. Get out and vote. If you’re in a state where mail in votes are excepted and that’s your best option, use it. Just make sure your vote gets counted.

202 Not being defeatist, but I just don't know if the midterms matter much this time. Worst case scenario, we retain veto and impeachment proof numbers, and Trump would no doubt freely use the veto.

So at worst, we get unhinged congressional investigations led by the DSA wing for two years, letting their full freak flags fly. This would likely be very helpful for 28, which is what really matters.

I'd be of a different opinion if the GOPe congress had done much of anything to help Trump since 24, or if we had a reasonable prospect of getting a non-GOPe congress in the midterms that would pass the SAVE Act and drastically cut spending.

More for D than R.
Cope on X is, "well, the D will show up in-person."

Sure, I mean, yeah they could change the last 10+ years of their voting patterns.
Not likely but they could.

Also, of interest is the discussion that polling isn't even polling anymore.
Rather, they get a sample of 600 to 1k and "model" the rest.
So they'll get 0 response from say, "likely R under 35" but--and this is key--because the pollster believes the news, the "model" will insert their guess.
Which matches the news ....

They’re all wrong through because reasons.

Before anyone says Cruz, save it. Cruz was never down in polls in 2018. He led in polls the entire race. His margin of victory was in fact smaller than the polls suggested, putting to bed the trope that polls always underestimate Republicans .

Polls are used to influence, not reflect the likely results. If you have a D candidate ahead throughout the campaign, then it's not surprising when your vote fraud op pulls off the win. Prepping the election day battlespace.

248 I think it was G Gordon Liddy’s “plumbers” crew that really botched the watergate burglary. I mean, they left tape on the doors in the complex which was easily spotted by guards who then knew they had intruders. If they’d been semi-competent they’d have never been caught. The counter factuals are interesting. No Nixon watergate scandal I’m not sure we would’ve ever gotten Ronaldus Magnus… nevertheless the fact remains that Liddy talked a good game but he was a nincompoop
