The Morning Report 10/26/16 [J.J. Sefton]

2015-02-05_1647-two-responses-to-isis.jpg

Good morning, kids. As always, Pat Condell tells it like it is. This is a MUST view, and I suggest making it go viral before YouTube censors it. Along with the usual election stuff (as if blatant media cover-ups/shilling, voter fraud and persecution are "usual"), the story about the Muzzy terrorists is just sickening and enraging, as if they couldn't get any worse. Interesting how the Left always screams and shouts about Darfur and Rwanda, but are strangely silent in this case. Meh, their solutions always involve Bob Geldof and Quincy Jones. Excuse me, when they're really concerned, James Taylor. Rant over. Anyway, ignore the polls, have a better one, and remain blessed.

They're horrible lies. The only reason they succeed is because the media and virtually every vestige of our society and culture as it stands today is on their side. Indeed, virtually all Democrat voters will support Hillary despite the overwhelming evidence against her, even if they acknowledge it. That is the definition of cultural rot.

And I also think that the left know their own actions push them closer and closer to a state of soullessness so them can fully indulge in depravity without consequence.

The wife and I went into Ann Arbor to pick up a few things and decided to have dinner at Grange, a farm to table restaurant that we like.

Next to us was a table of 6 young men, late '20s, college educated, employed. When we all finished eating, I went over and asked them who they were voting for, Hillary or Trump.

One immediately said Trump. Another, after a moment looking around, also said Trump. The other four wouldn't say it, but did emphatically say "Not Hillary".

And this is Ann Arbor. You can see it glow blue on the horizon.

73 "What I learned on ABC today"

What I learned on NPR yesterday:

-- About the key importance of all Democrats showing up and voting faithfully to ensure a massive blowout Clinton win, to prevent the evil Trump from casting doubts upon the triumphant new Presidency of Her Nibs.

-- A hand-wringing piece by a Berkeley linguistics professor all about the horrific "predatory" language used by Trump on the NBC "pussy tapes". Not a word about the far more extensive predatory language used by the various black rappers in the Clinton camp. Not a word about the multiple instances of actual forcible criminal sexual predation by Billy Jeff.

I turned it off after those two segments. It was just another reminder of the symbolic Sovietization of the national media.

It was also a squalid reminder of how Republicans not all that long ago had an opportunity to defund at least the NPR/PBS part of the media, and how Republicans instead focused on other urgent priorities. (Like banning light bulbs, mandating ethanol in gasoline instead of in cocktails, and the Grand Crusade to turn Kabul into Kokomo.)

Trump was up by +4 in OH which means Scankles is toast because she is also losing NC and not doing so well in PA which has been a traditional Dem State.

151 In AA God is actually referred to as a "higher power". That is often an issue for a lot of people who don't believe in any form of religion. It is a core belief of AA so I don't think it will go anywhere anytime soon. My knowledge comes from having close relationships with AA members and having attended Alateen (group for kids with alcoholic parents/sibs/etc).

If you then move down an additionally check the person, it erases that person. The purpose is to give the voter the option to vote Straight Party except Candidates A and B by deselecting A and B. What may be happening is that voters inexperienced with the process vote Straight Ticket R, but then just to make sure go down ro President and vote Trump. Trump is already selected, and "emphasis voting" for him again erases him from the vote selection.

161 I didn't look at the internals today. That takes a LOT of time tracking them down and going through 30 pages of crap to find them. But the OH poll shocked me. Trump was up by +4 in OH which means Scankles is toast because she is also losing NC and not doing so well in PA which has been a traditional Dem State.

Poll this morning shows trump up by 2 in Florida.

I'm wondering if this is when we start seeing polls shift closer to reality so they can preserve their credibility for the next cycle - so they can try to influence elections again.

222 One of the biggest manipulation as for the Dinka is the explosion of early voting. Oh you have a dry cleaning appointment ? Here's an early voting ballot. Mitigates the ongoing Wikidrips and turns the contest into even more of a referendum on the MSM coverage.

There is something to the solemnity of going into a private place to make a serious decision in real time, along with the rest of your nation.

Of course we can't have that.

The cats ar not going to be happy about it.

But truthfully, you job is to transport them safely, without compromising the safe operation of the vehicle, or increasing the likelihood of one of them escaping during a fuel stop, or whatever.

Cat kennels, one each.
Some dry food in their little bowls attached to the inside of the doors.
A little bit of water on the other half of the bowl.

I suggest not letting them out of the cages unless they are either in a house, or a hotel room, where they can be corralled, and recaptured.

Three of our cats had flown from Italy to the US and back no less then three times.

They slept through the entire trip.

One of the little fuzzball howled in the cab of the pickup from Baltimore to half way through Georgia on I-95.

They all lived through it.

238 This is what makes the polls suspect IMO.

"Survey weighted to match expected turnout demographics for the 2016 General Election."

This is from the PA Poll that shows hillary up by 4.

They have no idea on what the turnout is going to be for any election, but this one especially. They continue to base their polls on turnout from 2008 and 2012 which is simply not going to happen. hillary can't generate the turnout numbers obama saw. The depressed democrat turnout during the Primary should be a clue.

241 "How can he be taken seriously....all in for Cruz...he loses and now its vote for the socialist?"

Glenn Beck is in no-joke deep-shit financial trouble.

The Blaze is hemorrhaging talent and is bang out of operating capital. And to Beck, The Blaze was supposed to be the catalyst for a huge new national movement promoting Beck thought. That The Blaze would instead go bankrupt and fail is a personal repudiation on a galactic scale.

Note how oleaginously Beck was sucking up to Mark Zuckerberg at Facebook, loudly declaring that FB's editorial policies are unbiased and praiseworthy, when they are obviously neither.

It's simple, really: Glenn desperately needs a wealthy patron to bail out his venture and his person, and the Democratic crony-capitalist class are the ones to whom he is turning.

242 Just my opinion, with regard to the black vote and the crossover vote, I can easily see and understand how many blacks will stay home (disinterested, unenthusiastic, no black on the ticket) and I can easily see how many of the blacks that are fired up and aware will vote Trump knowing that it is in their best long-term interest to "fresh-start" the gov't as a whole and their long-presumed party affiliation along with it. So, blacks for Trump will be a much larger phenomenon than the tired old blacks-for-the-old-white-hag vote. There will be NO black republicans crossing over to vote democrat like there was in 2008 and 2012. Those are Trump voters today.

On the dem crossover - think about the reverse. How many repubs, excepting those GOPe assholes who would burn down the entire party to stay at the trough, will vote Hillary over Trump? That answer is easily visible in the news 2 or 3 times a day at every monster rally Trump has. There is yuuuge enthusiasm for the Change-That-Is-Trump and NONE for his demon opposition. Crossovers from blue to red will be (WAG) 10-20x the red to blue crossover.

I listened to Trump on Rush yesterday and was struck by his incredible enthusiasm and optimism even after the most grueling schedule a human could imagine. Even with the venomous media calling him vile things 24/7 Trump is still standing, proudly, and deserves, IMHO, a chance to at least try and fix some of what ails our ossified system.

263 @21 - You may be on to something there. I've thought about this very thing for a long time, trying to put it into words.

If you know any leftists who fancy themselves as "intellectuals" or "elite," they have a strange fetish for the "poor." All of them I've known have taken trips to third world countries, rather than first world destinations. They come back with pictures not of the place, but of the most downtrodden people they can find there. Pictures of themselves with them, pictures of these people carrying out daily activities...it just strikes me as strange. It's almost like the leftist views these people as zoo animals, to marvel at, to watch their behavior....like I said, it's hard to put into words. I think this phenomenon is why they are orgasmic about importing hordes of the impoverished from the third world. It would be rather like the first panda coming to the United States and the fascination around that, pandemonium if you will.

More like "Hey Honey, hold my beer while I load the cats in their kennels"

The two ferals?

We had to wait till the movers had completely emptied our home In Italy, leave the back sliding door open a few inches, with food in the normal spot in the kitchen, and hope they showed up to eat.

Once we found them in the empty house (We were in the hotel at that point), we slid the door shut, and the fun began.

We ultimately trapped them, one by one in the bathroom between the tub and the toilet, stuffed the open door of the kennel towards where the back of the toilet was, and let each of them climb into the kennel like that.

The morning that we flew out, I had to empty each and every item of furniture out of the hotel suite into the hallway of the hotel, till the cats had no place left to hide, and caught them in the bathroom again.

Fortunately, we were good friends with the Hotel owners, and the daughter was a cat lover as well.
So they took it all in stride.

I'm actually a descendant of Anthony, despite the name. I don't think you need a connection to appreciate the defeat in all of it. This is more like the fall of the Republic, and its transition to Empire, than the fall of the Empire. It's not exactly the same, but the parallels are there.

The fall of the Roman Republic was history's turn as tragedy, and the fall of the American Republic, if it yet happens, will be its repeat as farce.

Needless to say that did not sit well with people like Soros who supply voting machines. The whole study was a waste of time because it was thrown in the trash very qickly and forgotten.

I was a huge mythology nerd when I went to college. By calling it the black dog, he was probably referencing the black dog myths of the British Isles (of which there are many localizations, such as the Barghest). The average version was generally seen along grave roads and paths used by funeral processions. It'd look like a normal dog at first, but had evil eyes, and to have it stare at you was to be cursed to either have you or someone near you die soon.

Having barely survived my own brush with depression, I'd say the feeling of having been cursed and knowing something evil and out of control is menacing you is about right.

342 New find is earliest known mention of Jerusalem outside of Bible
The Israeli Antiquities Authority revealed today a papyrus document that contains the earliest known extra-biblical reference to Jerusalem.

The document represents extremely rare evidence of the existence of an organized administration in the Kingdom of Judah. It underscores the centrality of Jerusalem as the economic capital of the kingdom in the second half of the seventh century BCE. According to the Bible, the kings Menashe, Amon, or Josiah ruled in Jerusalem at this time; however, it is not possible to know for certain which of the kings of Jerusalem was the recipient of the shipment of wine.

Off the top of your head, do you know how it compared to Obama? You don't even have to compare primaries, his general turnout will do.

Because getting 98% of the black vote is meaningless--and she will lose--unless she also gets the same level of turnout as Obama.

PS: Note how Obama has not been campaigning for Hillary? Especially after Trump said, "He should be doing his job, instead of campaigning"
How is Hillary going to get the same level of turnout as Obama? (Unless they are so confident in their microtargeting and voter lists. Hmmm.)

The wall had plaques with the portraits and bios of about 10 smiling young men who had been killed in action. I leaned back in the chair and looked up. Someone had tacked a note to the ceiling right above my chair: "Your not a failure," poor punctuation and all.

The measure was passed by a margin of 10 to 2, with 8 abstentions. Tunisia and Lebanon proposed the resolution on behalf of the Palestinian Authority and Jordan, neither of which are voting members in the World Heritage Centre.

Like other recent resolutions by UNESCOs World Heritage Centre, the new measure refers to holy sites in Jerusalem, including the site of the two Jewish temples, exclusively in terms of the Islamic faith, using their Arabic names.

352 When I was young, deeply depressed, and drinking heavily I likened my depression to a sort of black liquid oozing under the door. The only way to push the miasma back is to PUSH. You have to get up, you have to do things, you have to be with people. I know it's hard but you have to push back or the black miasma drowns you.

(You also have to give up booze completely.)

I know you probably don't want to hear this but cold turkey is the only way that works. "I'll only drink on Friday" "I'll only drink socially" "I'll only have one or two drinks" is just lying to yourself. It's hard but it's sure.

It's no secret that I take enough meds to choke a cat. Some Christians sort of look down on that, thinking if I had more faith, I wouldn't be sick. I look at it this way - medications are God's blessed gift to the broken places in my brain.

364 An anecdote, not data:
In my county in TX, that goes R by around 70%, early voting is up over 2k from 2012 and near 4k from 2008 through the first two days.
These are not Dems coming out to vote; these are Republicans.
And, this is in TX where the R is guaranteed to win.
Why are they coming out in record numbers?

If I had the time, I'd check the numbers from the minority precincts--but, I suspect they are way down from Obama. I do know I drove down the main street (near MLK) and saw 1 Hillary sign.

372 This is weird.

Apparently, Peter Jackson's (LOTR, Hobbit) next movie is going to be-

"Mortal Engines"

from a series of post-apocalyptic novels concerning giant mechanical cities that wander the countryside eating other giant mechanical cities. And I assume the people inside.

I don't know. This sounds like one of those things that can work in a book because of the readers imagination filling in the blanks, but-

which would look silly on screen. Sort of like the Life Assurance pirates in Monty Python's "Meaning of Life".


Anyway, i think Jackson must realize this aspect of things because-

the movie is going to be a musical!


Each of the giant carnivorous cities has their own theme song.

Like so-


"Big D"

Here's comes Big D
you can guess
From the Bob Will songs
And big mechanical phallus

My, oh Yes
I mean Big D little a, double l-a-s
And that spells Dallas
What used it's mechaphallus

To hogtie then cornhole Philly's ass
Here comes Big D

My, oh Yes!
I mean Big D little a double l-a
Big D little a double l-a
Big D little a double l-a-s!!!


The first giant biomechanical giant carnivorous hunting cities that are giant musical evah!

Here in my neck of the woods, we've gone from purely electronic to the scantron things, which I think is good.

The skeptic in me, however, wonders if the scantron things scan accurately. After all, Virginia is one of the states that uses Soros-made machines.

I hope they are accurate.

Posted by: bluebell

Why on earth would Soros own a voting machine company and fund the Sec of State initiative (elect Dems to Sec of State offices to certify bad elections) if he wasn't going to cheat? They're a great investment? Considering Soros core business real money maker is destroying currencies, voting machine cheating in a BIG way (with the FBI, DOJ and yes the sec's of state playing along) seems more likely than not. Inevitable really.

At one point, States were passing reimbursement laws for people who were on assistance, or medicaid, etc. I have no idea how any of these work and I'm expecting a really awful fallout from the Obamacare subsidies in those states, especially when they don't get Fed money (and the bankrupt states like Illinois).

386 I'd love to ask those of you who deal with chronic depression if you see a doctor who will work with you on finding a medication regimen that works for you, but I won't for privacy reasons.

I did, but now I don't. And this is why:

When I was first on an anti-depressant, it was astonishing. I felt really happy for the first time in years and writing just poured out of me. But, as will happen with any drug, I became immune to it and needed stronger and stronger doses, which, eventually, I built up a tolerance to. So my doctor tried different mixes of drugs, but in the end I "grew out" of them and went back to my old self.

So finally I looked in the mirror and said, "well, I've been depressed for fifty-odd years already, so what's the point? I might as well just live with it." And here I am.

I don't mean to suggest that I'm gloomy and miserable 24/7, because I'm certainly not. But I am deeply unhappy with myself and my situation (for lack of a better word) and as much as it ends up making me feel worse in the end, food and alcohol act as a psychic bandage for a little while.

But I find I can't really talk about this with anyone outside of the Horde, since, in general, people might sympathize with you but really don't want to hear about your unhappiness. At least here, you can scroll past people's posts.

And just as a side note, I know we call ourselves Morons or The Horde, but I've never liked "Horde" for some reason. The Straight Dope writer Cecil Adams calls his readers "The Teeming Millions," which I've always thought cute.

Sirach 38: 1-8

1 Honor physicians for their services,
for the Lord created them;
2 for their gift of healing comes from the Most High,
and they are rewarded by the king.
3 The skill of physicians makes them distinguished,
and in the presence of the great they are admired.
4 The Lord created medicines out of the earth,
and the sensible will not despise them.
5 Was not water made sweet with a tree
in order that its[ power might be known?
6 And he gave skill to human beings
that he might be glorified in his marvelous works.
7 By them the physician heals and takes away pain;
8 the pharmacist makes a mixture from them.

415 There are a lot of Christian Scientists in my family, so medications are kinda last resort type thing. I like the attitude that a little pill isn't going to solve your problems, but it would be stupid to deny that a pill is the right thing to do sometimes. But, overall, we have been fortunate to be outrageously healthy and most live past 80, so maybe it is just our genetic luck. I'm sure that Ononcare is going to kill us off now because we are 'Clydesdale-type' big people and that is not acceptable these days. Good thing we are used to doing without.

416 I would like to say that I am grateful for the blessing of God given to
us through the life and work of JS Bach. I have lately been listening to
some choral music of his while driving. Beautiful and inspiring!


The very first time I heard any Bach was when I was a child and listened to Walter (now Wendy) Carlos' album Switched-On Bach. Hearing the Third Brandenburg Concerto on moog synthesizer is an otherworldly experience.

424 363 I'd love to ask those of you who deal with chronic depression if you see a doctor who will work with you on finding a medication regimen that works for you, but I won't for privacy reasons.


It's no secret that I take enough meds to choke a cat. Some Christians sort of look down on that, thinking if I had more faith, I wouldn't be sick. I look at it this way - medications are God's blessed gift to the broken places in my brain.


If you haven't tried this route, think about it as a possibility. Just a thought.

With apologies, this is a longish post but if you are dealing with depression or know someone who is maybe it's worth it?

My family tree is filled with suicides, and I've gone through big blocks of time living inside a tunnel, so I pay very close attention to when I'm getting stuck in the blues and have learned a few tricks over the years that help me a lot. So FWIW, this is what works for me:

1. Work hard to keep a regular sleep pattern. I don't know if it's chicken or egg but for me it's important to get to bed at about the same time and to get up at about the same time. Of course I stay up late and sleep in on occasion (lol, jk, I have kids and haven't "slept in" in a very long time), but for me it's important to keep them as exceptions to a rule

2. Live by Churchill's advice "If you're going through Hell, keep moving!" I don't think I've ever been depressed during periods of lots of physical activity, and when I feel myself getting down and staying there, I try to touch my toes, go for a walk, knock out a few pushups, and then build on that to get my body moving again on a daily basis.

3. When I feel depression coming on, I run don't walk to the doc to get back on zoloft. It just straight up works for me.

That's really it. Simple. Effective. For me. However

HUGE CAVEAT:

This spring I went from telling a friend that I'm as happy as I've ever been in my life (true) to really seriously thinking about going out in a back field of my farm and taking the top of my head off in 3 days. How? Bad medicine, I think. I was under a lot of stress with work, in Feb my best friend's wife killed herself. In front of him. After holding a gun on him for over and hour. Leaving him with their 2-month old child. He called me the day she shot herself and I was in MN from NC later the same day, and then spent a week there helping him stand up. I kept my shit together until I was on the plane to come home, and the flight attendant handed me a cocktail, at which point I lost my shit and sobbed uncontrollably for a long time. I've never been so exhausted and sad in my life. So suffice it to say that the stage was set for what I'm about to tell you.

In April I took a cholesterol test that, because nobody told me to fast, spiked high for the bad type or something, and they slapped me on some cholesterol meds. Two days later I was in the office complaining about extreme anxiety. They put me on an anti-depressant, which takes about a month to build up and become clinically effective, and also a more fast-acting drug that was supposed to help more immediately - a non-opioid version of xanax or something. It was like handing a guy racing on PCP a bag of coke. 24 hours later I had kicked out the glass storm door, smashed everything that would break in my workshop, thrown a bottle of jack daniels through a window, and so on and so forth. My wife took the kids away that night. I called the doc after hours and they said "what would you like us to do?"

.... Jesus.

For another two days I thought about killing myself almost constantly. Imagine waking up suddenly. The room is black. Death metal is playing so loud you can't think. You don't even know what country you're in but you know it's a very bad situation and very bad people are coming to do very bad things to you, and because of the music and the fear all you can think is "NONONONONONONONO!" and that's about where I was. Call a friend to talk about it and get help? I had no thoughts at all beyond what I just described. It would be like suggesting to someone stuck on the side of the road in Death Valley to just hop in their private jet. Huh?

Anyway, my wife is very clever. She said "please stop taking the medicine." THAT AFTERNOON I felt better. The next day I felt OK, like I had survived a battle. Very shaken, still staring off into space, but well-aware that the danger was passing.

Since then we've done some research and it turns out the men in their 40s taking these cholesterol medicines have a much higher rate of suicide than similar men who do not. News you can use, amirite?!

ALL of which is to say, hey man, sorry you're feeling down. You aren't by any chance taking any meds are you?

If you're taking a medicine and start feeling depressed, you don't think it's the shit you're putting in your body because of you're cholestorol, you think you're depressed because of or or some stressor in your life. You go to the doc and say doc I'm depressed and he or she asks if anything is going on and you make up a reason that seems plausible and so it seems plausible to them too, but I strongly suggest that we all eye our meds with a lot of caution and skepticism after what I went through in April.

Anyway, I'll end it there. Hope you feel better. I know I do! Keep those feet moving

I am not familiar with the miracles at Lourdes. I think that there are people who have beeb cured there. I would guess that many people who go to lourdes have exhausted other medical treatments so that's a little different IMO than saying, Don't even bother with anti depressants. Just pray for more faith in God-which theologically speaking sounds like having faith in your own level of faith, not God.

Never has a medical diagnosis established that, short of going to Lourdes, the condition would not have improved, nor has an improved diagnosis been causally related to attending Lourdes. Sick people have gone to Lourdes, and their condition has improved afterward. Sick people have also gone to Taco Bell and achieved the same result. This shouldn't shock people, but it does. Weird.

Of course there's nothing wrong with people praying for you!
I'd never heard of the 'you don;t have enough faith' form of blaming/shaming - seems like a kick in the teeth to someone who is already down.

470 The GOPe, represented by J. Goldberg this time, have gone from hoping for a brokered convention to hoping for a brokered presidential election.

471 >>>>The most realistic explanation of the "hanging chad" that I saw was, the
ONLY way that could happen is if you had a stack of ballots and you
punched through them all at once.

The ones on the bottom would not get punched through cleanly, thus: hanging chad.

It was voter fraud, pure and simple.
Not old folks too weak or confused to punch a clean vote.
.

.
.Older people can and do get confused by ballots at times but there are people to help with that.

One thing that happened in our small town when we lived in Connecticut was they way a question was worded on the ballot. We were voting for the 3rd time on a new Police Station because the Mayor wanted it badly. He thought he would get the whole area to buy into it for a regional dispatch center and the Town would make money from it. It was soundly turned down the first two times but they changed up the wording on the 3rd time and it got passed.

The way the question was worded was screwy. If you wanted a new Police Station you had to vote no. If you didn't want it you had to vote yes.

And it was deliberately worded that way to confuse people no matter what they said.

473 "I think Christians who say 'If you had more faith you wouldn't be sick' are unChristian and callous."
???
Have never heard anyone say that.

I (briefly) dated a girl who was "Christian" Science. Her mother was a CS "Healer" whatever that means. I was at her house, and her brother was in agony with abdominal pain. He was told to go to his room and pray harder. Other than that one anecdotal experience, I've never heard a Catholic, main-line or reformed Christian say/imply sickness was related to your level of faith.
That being said, the power of prayer can be amazing.

474 151 In AA God is actually referred to as a "higher power".

And from what I understand, your "higher power" in AA can be anything - nature, DNA, the living room sofa.

That just goes to show you the fundamental gripe militant atheists have is the idea that anything is more powerful than they are.

475 Went and did my duty and voted. Also took a little drive around the 'hood to see if there's any signage out like has been discussed here prior.

Based on yard signage, I have decided to vote for "Ryan Homes" and his running mate "Flag Football Signup."

First I want to commend you for sharing your struggles and pain. Perhaps someone who is in a dark place will read them (or others you have or have yet to share) and realize they aren't alone - and hopefully seek help.

Whatever your religious beliefs are, I hope you won't mind if prayers are said for you. Stay strong - as best as you can. And hopefully knowing that there are people in your lives of love and care for you eases your burden.

-----------------

I don't know if there has been one - I don't actually live there. My husband is from the South Shore and we go up a couple of times a year, usually. But I live in the DC area.

It sure seems there are a lot of NE morons here though, which is very heartening!

479 I'm a pastor. I;d hardly be questioning or disputing the power of prayer, :^) But saying , "Your faith isn't strong enough or you would be better" is just very hurtfully judgmental

480 I guess waking up on the left coast means we're too late. Youtube has already marked the Condell video "unavailable" in Restricted Mode.

Apparently pretty much anything even remotely conservative (including Milton Friedman videos) is considered inappropriate for children.

481 Can you get the Condell video anywhere else?

I downloaded it as an MP4 file. I'll try to upload it later today with a **ahem** new account.

Thank you all.
