The Morning Report - 2/26/21 [J.J. Sefton]

Good morning, kids. The weekend is here and, surprise! America is back, baby. That is, back to sending our troops into harm's way in order to sate the bloodlust of the military industrial complex and their profiteers in the DC junta, regardless to the consequences to our national interest or if our security is even threatened in the first place.

Biden ordered the strikes against facilities near Syria's border with Iraq that the militias use. The Department of Defense (DOD) statement did not specify whether the strikes inflicted casualties beyond the structures. Iranian-backed militias fired rockets at both the U.S. embassy in Baghdad and another U.S. base in Iraq in recent weeks.
"At [so-called quote-uquote] 'President' Biden's direction, U.S. military forces earlier this evening conducted airstrikes against infrastructure utilized by Iranian-backed militant groups in eastern Syria. These strikes were authorized in response to recent attacks against American and Coalition personnel in Iraq, and to ongoing threats to those personnel," the Department of Defense announced Thursday night."

I ain't no Henry Kissinger, but why in the world if I were the quote-unquote so-called 'president' (nudge nudge wink wink) would I attack the forces of a nation that I am desperately trying to appease by once again doing everything in my power to allow it to manufacture a nuclear weapons arsenal? Could it have something to do perhaps with the fact that at least half of this country is still seething that a national election was stolen? That their livelihoods were destroyed on the pretext of a virus that is now provably marginally more lethal than seasonal flu? That voices of dissent and protest have been silenced and persecuted while the majority of citizens are blood-libeled as unreconstructed, evil subhuman racist traitors and insurrectionists? That our borders are about to be erased as tens of millions of illiterate foreign peasants are set to become first class citizens while the rest of us are relegated to a figurative and possibly literal gulag? That if our children survive nine months in the womb without being sacrificed to Ba'al, Huitzilopochtli and Pazuzu so that their organs can be harvested, or avoid surgical transformation from Boris Karloff into Elsa Lanchester are then brainwashed into hating their heritage, their parents and themselves?

Nah, that's Q-Anon (whatever that is), tinfoil hat, crazy conspiracy talk, that is. Sheesh. One has to wonder if the average Iranian terrorist knows what he may be up against.

The U.S. Navy's reading list for officers and sailors includes books exploring issues in anti-racism and gender politics, potentially overshadowing traditional education in military history and strategy.
Four of the 16 books listed under a section dedicated to personal and leadership development discuss topics such as anti-racism, the criminal justice system, and gender politics. Their titles include Ibram X. Kendi's bestselling How to Be an Antiracist, The New Jim Crow, Sexual Minorities and Politics, and Fed Up: Emotional Labor, Women, and the Way Forward. Kendi's book in particular has garnered significant controversy, with many of its ideas spreading from college campuses to public health institutions and public sector unions.
The 4 books mark a major departure from the other 33 books on the list, which focus on the history of the Navy and naval planning.

Remember that mathematics is racist, which might put artillerymen or the fire control officers on board a warship in a bit of pickle when it comes time to plotting a solution. Then again, they just plug it into the computer... which no doubt will have been programmed by someone who underwent the same training that drummed into his/her/xer head that 2+2 = 5.

Now that transsexuals are allowed to openly serve, here's hoping they get sent right in where it's hot so that the Farsis can get a good long look and thank their lucky Mecca space rock they're facing off against Corporal Klinger and not a bitter-clinger purged long ago from the ranks.

Old and Busted: Lock and Load.
New Hotness: Tuck and Mince.

Be sure to scan all the headlines as there are a number of things of import happening now including the push for the minimum wage increase being nixed in the Senate bill by the parliamentarian, who no doubt will soon get a visit from his local BLaM-tifa welcome wagon.

Have a great weekend.

30 Morning peeps. Expecting wet weather this weekend that will probably result in flooding after the snow/ice pack melted. I'll need a new driveway too.

IMO we probably should not be saying "*biden ordered this or *biden ordered that." The aids or staff he has propping him up are behind the EO's and everything this administration has done thus far, not Sloe Joe. Hell, it might even be DOCTOR Jill who's giving the orders, who knows, but sure ain't *biden.

Agree he should take responsibility... but in his current mental state, can he?

38 To answer your question, JJ, "yes." I had thought the Deep State would conduct a False Flag domestic terror attack (and may yet), blame it on White Supremacists, and respond accordingly. The "insurrection" gave them a bit of this, and the less crazy elements may have surmised most would realize the terror came out of D.C. and would respond accordingly themselves. So we got the equivalent of billion dollar aspirin attack to make Liz Cheney's degenerate snatch cum.

at the following schools - Florida St., Virginia, Virginia Tech, NC
State, Georgia Tech, or Vanderbilt. Does anyone have thoughts, good or
bad, about any on that list?

Posted by: I used to have a different nic at February 26, 2021 07:59 AM (EjmvJ)

Never attended one of them. So this should be taken with a huge grain a salt and then some more grains of salt to be sure. Probably the two most esteemed schools there are Vanderbilt and VA. I know VA is lefty as most of them are. I can't really say about Vanderbilt because I know next to nothing about it. If you are going for the lest lefty school, my guess would be Virginia Tech. But that is only a guess.

Right now I am down to Texas AM and Hillsdale. I even have my questions about AM as so much has changed over the years.

193 there was a MASH episode where Potter told Klinger he could go home if he admitted he was gay. Klinger would never do that and it ended the entire story arc. I sometimes wonder if that episode was deleted as I have not seen in in many years. I am positive I saw it. But I do think it has been memory holed.

Jr. Black moved to Atlanta last summer. Fortunately (I guess) for him, he works and lives in the area by the Braves stadium and is pretty self-contained there. I know there are lots of places there that are extremely dicey, even upscale areas like Buckhead. But so far, he's doing alright and in a decent area.

They're all good schools, so it's probably down to personal preferences. If you're looking to minimize SJW stuff, eliminate Vandy. I'm not sure how bad it is at the others.

Oh, and never has to advance career-wise or knowledge-wise from the point she started to make that $120K at the end and live off of it for the next 40-50 years while vacationing and enjoying retirement.

That's usually a sign that the actor left the show on really bad terms.

If someone leaves a show on good terms (say, the actor needs to take some time off to go do a movie or something), their character "goes to college" or "gets a job in Cleveland" or something else that leaves the possibility of a return open.

If the actor leaves on bad terms, the character dies. The nastier the breakup, the more horrific the death.

I do. I also remember the episode where he joked about earning a Purple Heart because his still blew up. That was the first episode as Potter. They never should have done that, it ruined the character from the start, and it made no sense with how they developed him.

I still haven't found the specific episode I am looking for, but the net tells me it was a discussion between Sydney the psychiatrist and Klinger. It did happen. They flat out told him if he admitted he was gay, he would be out. He was never going to do that. A very different time I suppose, but you couldn't be gay and serve then. Hell, you couldn't be openly gay and serve in the 80s.

The MiL is already past the worst of it with nothing more than an incessant cough and a runny nose.

It's unclear whether this will do anything to Dolley's sense of calm, but I've got my fingers crossed.

I invested pretty heavily right around the election, mostly in airlines and cruise companies. After Biden "won", I put money in oil and banks, too. Up about 33% so far.

397 Only an idiot would cite the market as proof the Biden economic moves are being welcomed.

The stock market is up because Congress keeps sending out checks and, especially, because the Fed is flooding the economy with dollars. Volatility of money is down and they are trying to make up for it by adding reserves.

At some point, and probably this is the last such bill, Congress stops passing more "stimulus" and the Fed starts worrying about inflation, so it starts withdrawing reserves. Take a look a graph of the 10 year Treasury and you see it already probably happening. Don't be in the market when the Fed gets serious and really pull the rug out from under.

The Mormon people (LDS, as their leaders say they like to be called now) are among the country's leading citizens in terms of patriotism, morality, lawfulness, etc.

416 I never saw that list. I don't know anyone who has. I don't know anyone who has read those or cares. That list is justy some assholes wet dream somewhere.

It's good to thumb through to see where the thinking and ideas are going. I don't think I have ever read an entire AF reading list for a year the whole time I was in. Though I did get some decent books out of it (again, bought on my own).

417 Check out Iowa State or Purdue for Mech. Engineering.

Midwest is not a bad place to be considering how things are going in this country.

I almost applied to ISU for Engineering, but that was before I switched my major to English (loooooong story). Oh, and my Hawkeye-loving brother threatened to write me out of his will. Not really sure which factor carried more weight.

419 Lady in Black,

What's happening is way too dark and twisted for the Twilight Zone. We're in the Night Gallery.

420 Roethlisberger might become _my_ favorite QB too, if he'll keep throwing the ball to the Browns four times a game.

421 It would be nice if the Navy's professional reading list included some books on basic seamanship and techniques on how to avoid ramming into other ships.

422 You've all got the wrong take on the Syrian air strikes.

Iran had some infrastructure in Syria that needed to be rebuilt. They got in touch with Biden and asked for an air strike to demolish the facilities. Iran cleared their people out in advance, and Joe leveled the structures for them.

"The operation sends an unambiguous message: President Biden will act to protect American and Coalition personnel" is a message for the US media; Iran, on the other hand, is grateful for the assistance.
