The Morning Report — 10/1 /26

Good morning kids. Obviously the big story of the day is the thwarting of a mass religious experience of peace love and understanding by the Religion of Peace ™

After attacking the pilot of a Tel Aviv bound airliner out of Dubai, the copilot was intent on nosediving the plane into the heart of Tel Aviv. But somehow the grievously wounded pilot managed to fight back and along with several incredibly brave passengers wrested control from the Muslim beast and averted a mass casualty slaughter.

The pilot who was repeatedly stabbed by his co-pilot during Wednesday’s attempted terror attack aboard a flight bound for Israel has been identified as Indian national Smit Machchhar — and accounts emerging from the aircraft credit his fight for control with helping alert passengers to the danger unfolding inside the cockpit.
Machchhar, a veteran pilot with nearly 10,000 hours of flight experience, was flying Flydubai Flight FZ1073 from Dubai to Tel Aviv when the Omani first officer allegedly attacked him with a knife and attempted to seize control of the Boeing 737 MAX 8.
The aircraft eventually landed safely in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia, but Machchhar was seriously injured and rushed to a hospital after the emergency landing.

Muslim Pilot ‘Tried to Do 9/11’ and Kill a Planeload of Israelis . . . He didn’t reckon, however, on the indomitable spirit of the passengers.

By now, the whole world knows, as the New York Post reported Wednesday, that “an Israel-bound passenger plane pilot was reportedly stabbed several times by the jet’s co-pilot in the cockpit — and the terrifying scenes caused the aircraft to plunge almost 20,000 feet in minutes, sparking fears of a ‘terrorist attack in mid-air.’”
The passenger plane pilot who was stabbed was an Indian national, Captain Smit Machchhar; his co-pilot was an Omani Muslim who had evidently decided that a plane full of Israelis gave him a marvelous opportunity to wage jihad for the sake of Allah. This sort of thing was bound to happen sooner or later, and will almost certainly happen again. After all, the Qur’an repeatedly directs Muslims to “kill them wherever you find them.” (2:191, 4:89, 4:91, cf. 9:5) Regarding the Jews, it says: “You will find the Jews and the idolaters the most vehement of mankind in hostility to those who believe” (5:82), and demonizes them relentlessly in numerous other passages.
Add to all that the fact that the Islamic jihad against Israel is worldwide. Numerous Islamic jihad groups have called for the murder of Jews all over the world. It’s noteworthy that the pilot who attempted this aerial jihad was Omani. Oman is not often heard from in connection with jihad, and many assume that the Muslims there are “moderates.” The jihad, however, is universal. In fact, when a Muslim land is attacked, Islamic theology holds that defensive jihad is obligatory upon every Muslim worldwide. And many Muslim authorities consider the very existence of Israel to constitute the attack of a Muslim land.

Hey, I ain't no crack historian like Victor Davis Hanson or Robert Spencer, but I had no idea that Houston Tx was a Muslim land?!

Two teenagers have been arrested in different US states over a plot to carry out a mass-casualty attack against Congregation Beth Israel, a synagogue (pictured above) in Houston, Texas.
Angelina Han Hicks, 18, of Lexington, North Carolina, and a 16-year-old boy from the Houston area were arrested and charged. Hicks allegedly conspired with two people identified only by their first names, “Angel” and “Teegan,” to “kill as many Jews as possible” by driving a vehicle through a congregation at the synagogue, the oldest in Texas.

And just as a gentle reminder as if any of you need it, the trolls notwithstanding, this is the most well-informed readership anywhere on the internet, or anywhere in general, given the nature of Islam and their extremely dangerous allies of convenience the anti-American American Left, we are all JOOZ now!

That's why this strikes me initially as rather humorous .

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), a terrorist organization formally belonging to the Iranian armed forces, published a 26-page open letter to the American people on Tuesday inviting Americans to visit the Strait of Hormuz, insisting “death to America” did not mean Iran wished death on America, and suggesting the September 11, 2001, jihadist attacks were a “false-flag operation.”

Yes and the Democrats don't really support the Democrat Socialists of America, either. just a false flag op!

But in point of fact everything that the Democrat Party has done over the past 200 years, given the death, dislocation, dissolution and wastage of life and human potential of all of its policies, and that they have never embraced America as founded and have done their damndest to overthrow the American revolution and replace it with a tyrannical dictatorship of its own design with them in control in perpetuity (Heh, just like Islam!), the Mullahs ripped off the slogan DEATH TO AMERICA from the Democrat Party. That's why what this Islamic savage belched up is kind of chuckle-worthy in a bitterly ironic way.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) wrote a 26-page letter to the American people on Tuesday, urging them to vote for Democrats in the midterms.

And that is what I believe is called the clincher.

It should be noted that the term “fifth column” has been weaponized in the past against minority populations such as the Japanese, who were interred during World War II, as well as against Americans of German descent during both world wars. Nevertheless, documented foreign influence operations, a court-tested organization with ties to a terrorism financing case, and a $591 million CCP-adjacent funding network are not manufactured; they are in the public record as cited in this article.
The most defensible version of the premise that drove this article’s analysis is narrower than “a fifth column” and broader than nothing: several distinct domestic and foreign-linked networks have documented, sometimes overlapping records of hostility to American constitutional order. At least one of them (CCP united front and IRGC-linked operations) meets the term’s original meaning, and at least two more (the CAIR/Muslim Brotherhood cluster and the Singham-funded left ecosystem) have court records, government designations, or congressional financial tails that go well beyond ordinary political disagreement. What is not yet documented is a unified command linking them together.

And this makes me say hallelujah .

Ron DeSantis, Florida Cabinet Declare CAIR, Muslim Brotherhood, and Antifa as Terrorist Groups “The designations will also apply to more than 90 organizations already listed as foreign terrorist organizations by the U.S. government, including the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, two Mexican drug cartels and Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.”

Yes he has some baggage, but America can do a lot worse than Meatball Ron, but I would enthusiastically cheer on his first and then his second Swearing-in ceremonies as POTUS. I don't mean 2028 but sometime down the road, '32, '36..'40?` should I live that long. But cheer him on I will...

AM Yisroel Chai and God Bless America!

Have a good day.

Because a) Act of God, B) the workers at Boeing did great work. There was an extra bit of tolerance on top of the design strength.

Kinda like test depth on a submarine. If well constructed and maintained, a submarine can go past that, for a bit.

Very easy to comprehend, actually. It’s because that “minister” is in fact a satanist themselves, whose only true goal is to rip the Church to shreds from the inside, through false doctrine, Godless teaching, and Apostasy.

That’s the only true goal of Talerico, his “church”, and its “ministers”. They are the ravenous wolves in sheep’s clothing we were warned about.

They are demonic apostles, led by demons.

45 Is The GOP Failing To Sell Trump’s Economic Gains? I&I/TIPP Poll

Well, that would require the GOP to actual do anything to counter the endless stream of lies and extremism coming from the left. I can't comment on every race going on throughout the country, but the GOP has a wealth of material to slam Democrats and Democrat candidates with. Are they using it? For example, is Paxton running constant ads of Talafreako's own words to show Texans his hard left, and quite creepy, extremism?

For reasons I'll never understand, the left fight like saber toothed tigers shredding apart a bloody carcass. The right fights like -- ah, hell, in an overall sense, they don't fight.

Oh, and if we're lucky enough to keep the Senate, Thune needs to be jettisoned pronto. Nobody more useless in this stinking party...

I think you misunderstand the concept of DEI.

DEI assumes that the ability to fit in a seat, licensing, and the ability to fly a plane are unnecessary social constructs designed to keep BIPOC women oppressed.

DEI says the pilots seat/cockpit should be bigger to accommodate Shaniqua and that planes should be designed to take off, fly and land themselves in order to allow Shaniqua to be a pilot in order to create social equity.

Very easy to comprehend, actually. It’s because that “minister” is in fact a satanist themselves, whose only true goal is to rip the Church to shreds from the inside, through false doctrine, Godless teaching, and Apostasy.

That’s the only true goal of Talerico, his “church”, and its “ministers”. They are the ravenous wolves in sheep’s clothing we were warned about.

163 Smith was preparing to indict hundreds of GOP lawmakers, WH officials, MAGA-associated groups, influencers, and the president himself (again)—and perhaps even media organizations—under Arctic Frost.

There is no federal crime related to “blocking the peaceful transfer of power”—which by the way, Jack Smith, happens on January 20, not January 6.

But by the end of 2023, Smith ran up against two potential SCOTUS roadblocks: the presidential immunity question out of the J6 case in Washington AND the Fischer decision related to the lawful use of the 1512(c)2 obstruction statute in Jan 6 cases.

The latter decision, issued in June 2024, handed a blow to Smith’s effort to criminalize free speech and political activity. SCOTUS held that the post-Enron corporate fraud statute required some evidence of document tampering/destruction. That’s not, however, how the Biden DOJ applied the statute in 300+ cases—so those charges/convictions were systematically tossed.

No it doesn’t; that’s what Sola Scriptura is about.
But both sides have their strength and weaknesses; Roman Catholicism blocks rot and bad doctrine percolating up fro the bottom; the Prorestant systems were devised to prevent rot and bad doctrine descending from the top.

218 No it doesn’t; that’s what Sola Scriptura is about.

There is no such thing as Sola Scriptura. James Talarico has the same Bible you do. But his theology is derived from how he chooses to interpret it. And Protestants can't say his interpretation is valid or invalid, because they hold that there is no normative authority that can bind the will of their congregants.

The Scripture was compiled and canonized by humans. We aren't Muslims or Mormons that think we discovered a magic book.

We were left a church at Pentecost, not a book.

Posted by: Piper

Demonic, way-overrated "holiday". Prior to about 1930, Halloween was very minor. Children and teens wore costumes and dressed as hobos, etc. for Ragamuffin Day, going door to door on Thanksgiving. If you think about it, people are much more likely to have sweet treats and homemade goodies on that day. Store bought candy was out of reach or unavailable to many Americans in ye olde days. You, Miss Nutrition, plugging a holiday that wants to put people into a diabetic coma is unseemly. And "celebrating" this disaster for a month?

True. One of the theories of MH-370 is that the Captain tricked the FO into leaving the cockpit, then wouldn't release the door lock to allow him to re-enter. I would imagine in that scenario that the FO tried to unlock the door with the code, but the captain overrode that.

326 The Data Center Boom Faces Mounting Obstacles

On the one hand, both data center construction activity and credible forecasts for near-term capacity additions to the electric grid to serve data centers remain robust. The Electric Power Research Institute, for example, said in February that data centers will represent up to 17% of U.S. electricity demand in 2030 and as much as 20% in 2035.

On the other hand, data center and utility infrastructure projects face a host of challenges. These include both physical constraints, such as equipment and labor shortages, as well as mounting public opposition driven by concerns about large-scale computing facilities’ impact on water supplies, the cost and reliability of power and natural gas supplies, and the quality of life in host communities.

355 > This year. No Atlantic hurricanes.
Posted by: NaCly Dog at October 01, 2026 08:46 AM (u82oZ)

I once got banned from a leftist forum by linking NOAA's comprehensive list of historic hurricanes (curiously removed later in the Jug Eared Fuck administration) and challenging anyone to show that either the number or the mean intensity of hurricanes had increased over the course of the 20th Century.

You can't, because they didn't -- but data doesn't matter in LeftyLand.

There is a very large 'Islamic Center' a five minute drive from Casa Gref, in a middle class neighborhood in Houston. Large meeting spaces, a basketball court, and I don't know what else. I only know what I know because I see it when voting there on actual Election Days.

Yup, they have perfected voter fraud, and every mail-in ballot issued to a dead person, person who's moved out of the state, that was issued to an illegal alien will vote Baccerra. And if that doesn't do it, they will keep "finding" ballots for weeks and weeks until he does.

374 It's the 2nd failed execution this year. Supposition is that they didn't get the needle in the vein. I say, "If she's unconscious, any form of execution is humane."

Put her in the passenger seat of a public transportation, the locals can efficiently do the job.

OR

Send her ass to Canada and tell them she is depressed.

Ynet news: 'Three years since Oct. 7: families plan silence, protests and public testimony across Israel'
Bereaved families and former hostages will lead a week of events marking three years since the Hamas attack, including a 6:29 a.m. moment of silence, nationwide protests, convoys, testimony and a central Tel Aviv memorial ceremony, published 9/28/26

"The Space Left Behind” exhibition will open to the public on Oct. 4 and feature personal objects that tell the stories of those killed, abducted or otherwise affected by Oct. 7. Among them are Ariel Bibas’ balance bike, IDF observer Roni Eshel’s beret, paramedic Amit Mann’s stethoscope, Yagev Buchshtab’s musical instruments and the camera of ynet and Yedioth Ahronoth photographer Roy Edan."

Of course, there will be more in Israel, and also internationally and virtually. And in the U.S., communities, synagogues, and local organizations across the U.S. will hold commemorative vigils, memorial services, and educational programs around this date to honor the victims and hostages.

377 It's what GOP voters have demanded of the GOP since time imemmorial.

"Biden flooded the country with illegals to change the nation, damn the short term consequences because he knew it would lead to long term gains. Why can't the GOP do that?"
Posted by: TheJamesMadison
=========
Because the GOP donor class is of the left of the party and so is the Dem donor class. This derives from our rotten higher indoctrination er education system.

Donor classes have more in common with Eurotrash, Chicom elites, and Indian dot elites than they do with their own countrymen. This is why the WEF publicly made so many pronouncements that were right out of Karl Marx--you will own nothing and be happy.

We had duplicated the nomenklatura class worldwide of the old Soviet Union.
