The Morning Report - 5/19/21

Good morning kids. Wednesday and first off, my response to CBD's rebuttal to my editorial yesterday is "CBD, you ignorant slut..."

That's all. Kidding! In fairness he did raise excellent points. In truth, I am not as well versed in internal Israeli politics and society as he is so I defer to his judgement on the situation. In my defense, this was the most massive attack on Israel not involving an actual dictionary definition army that I can remember, and with the Biden junta in power, most of the Democrats baying for Jewish blood and Iran emboldened to nuke up, can you blame me for being just a tad "concerned?" We probably won't know the full body count but Israel playing the media like a Stradivarius in luring the cockroaches out from their US taxpayer-funded hidey holes and dropping ordnance on them like Charlie Sheen on Saddam in Hot Shots was brilliant.

That said, Israel is facing an enemy with a warped, twisted worldview, 180 degrees out of phase with reality, that makes it quite dangerous to its security. And not coincidentally that government just happens to be the one that is occupying (now there's a word pregnant with meaning) the Oval Office, mostly through Kalorama.

America's foreign-policy establishment and peace-process industry are having a field day: The latest round of fighting between Israel and the terror group Hamas, they insist, has sounded the death knell for the Abraham Accords, the Trump-brokered peace treaties between the Jewish state and several Muslim nations.
Leading the Schadenfreude Brigade was White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, who on Tuesday declared from her podium: "We don't think [the accords] did anything constructive, really, to bring an end to the longstanding conflict in the Middle East." The peace-processors failed for decades to make Mideast progress, and the Gaza flare-up gives them and their DC mouthpieces (like Psaki) a cheap chance to crow, "I told you so."
Reality disagrees, however...
...While Arab leaders sympathize with the Palestinian people, the accords showed that Mideast states have wearied of a corrupt and intransigent Palestinian leadership. For four years leading up to the accords, the unmistakable message to Palestinians and their leaders was that the proverbial train was leaving the station, and it was in their interest to get on board, rather than cling to the slogans of the past; the Palestinians didn't get the message.
These fundamental dynamics remain beyond the grasp of the dangerously deluded peace-process industry, which remains bent on pulling the region backward, all to fit their disproved theories. There is plenty of more work to be done to expand the peace and normalization framework. This work will continue, regardless of predictable regional forces that periodically lash out and in spite of those who gleefully mistake this beginning for the end.

Surely, one of the reasons for the unprovoked missile attack on Israel was to try and destroy the Accords. I don't think that that is going to work. I believe that President Trump pulled off possibly one of if not the greatest diplomatic triumphs in the former United States' history. Will there be Muslim/Jewish rapprochement overnight? No, of course not. And the continued exportation of Wahhabism from Saudi Arabia does not help matters (although I thought MBS was supposedly putting an end to that?). But a seed has been planted and though vulnerable has a chance - a chance - to perhaps change the course of nearly 2,000 years of terrible history in the long run.

Psircling back, all I have to say is Jen Piss-Hockey Psaki has got to be one psick, ps-psychotic fool. To say what she said about Trump and the Abraham Accords is just beyond my capacity for words. I don't think she's just saying it for the sake of saying it; I think she really believes this crap. Same as her kissing cousins in the Democrat Death "Squad" and all the other crackpot Islamists and Socialists that occupy (that word again) two sides of the same worthless coin. Speaking of Democrats, while their attempt to hold back military aid to Israel failed, they still managed to not vote in favor of a resolution to sanction Hamas. Time will tell if Dao-Min Yen has the ability to preserve their majorities even as this ugly internecine war within the party spills out for the public to see.

Moving on to something completely different, yet with the common denominator of an illegitimate and now feral Democrat Party, NY hack Letitia James has made it official that she will be seeking criminal charges against President-in-Exile Trump for the crime of attempting to halt the overthrow of the United States of America and embarrassing globalists. Elsewhere, Americans are still being held as political prisoners and being essentially tortured - - in their own country, or what used to be their own country.

"I've been in solitary confinement for a hundred days now and haven't been convicted of any crime with no end in sight," he continued.
Lang is accused of assaulting a Capitol police officer with a dangerous or deadly weapon. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges. As per a text message received by his mother, Lang was reportedly locked in an empty cell with no toilet paper, chair, or blanket for 14 hours after being accused of advising other Capitol protestors to not take a plea deal.
Shockingly (or not), members of the left's darling street militias, BLM and antifa, have seen a different side of the "system." People arrested for rioting, looting, burning federal buildings, and assaulting police officers are seeing little, if any, time behind bars. Roughly half of those arrested for federal crimes have had their charges dropped. Most are granted bail and many have had their bail paid by organizations such as the Minnesota Freedom Fund.
Compare that treatment to Capitol protester Ryan Samsel, reported to have been "viciously and savagely" beaten by police while in federal custody....
...[Mass terrorist-linked Dick] Durbin, who has long been opposed to solitary confinement, told Politico that such conditions should be a "rare exception," whether for accused insurrectionists or any other prisoners.
"There has to be a clear justification for that, in very limited circumstances," he said.
Some Jan. 6th defendants believe there is a racial component to their treatment: Most are white -- some with connections to what some people believe are white nationalist groups -- while most D.C. inmates and prison guards are black.
Judge Paul Friedman said last week that those concerns are "not necessarily illegitimate."
"It may be that some of the people arrested on Jan. 6th are white supremacists" or "that they're perceived to be," he added.
One thing cannot be denied: one's arrest, confinement, treatment, and prosecution in 2021 America seems to be determined by our political leanings. Where have we seen that before?

Land of the freebie, home of the enslaved. While you're at it, take a look at that video of the 10-year-old boy who stood up and spoke out about being forced to wear the face diaper of submission, and compare and contrast to the sick slag posing as a teacher verbally abusing a student for not doing so to her satisfaction.

I'm angry. And I want justice. One way or another, I'm going to get it. Stay angry my friends.

ABOVE THE FOLD, BREAKING, NOTEWORTHY

"People are tortured mentally, physically, socially, emotionally, legally, and spiritually," Jacob Lang wrote to his dad. He has been in a federal jail since he was arrested on January 16 for his part in the mostly peaceful demonstration at the Capitol on January 6."I've been in solitary confinement for a hundred days now and haven't been convicted of any crime with no end in sight," he continued.

12 Leading the Schadenfreude Brigade was White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, who on Tuesday declared from her podium: "We don't think [the accords] did anything constructive, really, to bring an end to the longstanding conflict in the Middle East."

And she's right. 100% right.

It's why the Muslims waited until Trump was removed and a sympathetic figure installed. It's the same reason Chicago has some of the most strict gun laws in the US and still some of the highest gun crime rates. It's why black people don't give a sh*t when LaTron shoots Deonkay 30,000 time a year, but destroy their cities when Officer Blue tries to stop one of them.

Laws don't matter. People matter. People giving a damn and trying to be better neighbors matters. Enforcement matters.

She's 100% correct in what she says.

Leading the Schadenfreude Brigade was White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, who on Tuesday declared from her podium: "We don't think [the accords] did anything constructive, really, to bring an end to the longstanding conflict in the Middle East." The peace-processors failed for decades to make Mideast progress, and the Gaza flare-up gives them and their DC mouthpieces (like Psaki) a cheap chance to crow, "I told you so."

... and all those Lilliputians dance around the gigantic body of Gulliver, while chanting, "We still have our rice bowls! We still have our rice bowls! Our 'knowledge' of how to seek peace reigns again! Death to the work of the amateurs!"

21 If they can invent the Steele Dossier, hang Derek Chauvin and Kyle Rittenhouse, and jail innocent rally goers as insurrectionists, they can invent a "crime" to hang Donald Trump, his family and anyone who supports him.

Which begs the $60,000 question - then what?

Will the "70 million pissed off Trump voters" allow an ex-president to be jailed, possibly for life, simply for the crime of opposing the ruling junta - an event that has never even been contemplated in the 245 years of the Republic? Will they rise up en masse and burn the AGs house and office to the ground?

Or will they shrug, say, "vote harder!" and "I can't protest, I have to work!" or "I'll get arrested!" or "we have no leaders!"*

I think you know what I believe.

*That last one is actually true. Not one of the traitors in the GOP would say anything beyond a token, limp-wristed protest if Trump were arrested tomorrow.

As for Israel, let's not forget that a sizeable number of the many parties favor a two state solution, and that American Jewish groups lobbied Trump very hard on this topic as American Jews ( people who don't agree with us are not JINOs and feel the same about conservative Jews) overwhelmingly support this as well.

43 America's foreign-policy establishment and peace-process industry are having a field day: The latest round of fighting between Israel and the terror group Hamas, they insist, has sounded the death knell for the Abraham Accords, the Trump-brokered peace treaties between the Jewish state and several Muslim nations.
++++
This is possible (the death knell of the Accords), but I don't see it yet. Where is the Arab counterattack? Hell, where is the Arab denigration of Israel and calls for them to stop fighting and surrender? Where are the sanctions? Where is Arab retaliation? Nowhere, at least not yet.

The other side of this is the sickening part. The establishment set are actively crowing about this and reveling in the death, misery, destruction and peril. Why? Because they're arrogant warmongers who would rather have people die than let go of the idea they've been cultivating for the past few generations (a cultivated, US-enforced, US-subsidized pan-MidEast peace). Sick bastards, the lot of them.

I think the two-state solution is official policy in Israel, though it might not be. It requires a permanent peace treaty, cessation of hostilities and and end to the war.

105 Shipping trivia I learned yesterday: for shipping automobiles, there are many ways of measuring cargo capacity of a vessel. One of these methods is the "Car Equivalent Unit," or CEU. This is the same convention used for containers, which uses the "Twenty-foot Equivalent Unit" (TEU - the smaller containers you often see rolling down the highway in tandem) measure.

But the CEU - who's dimensions I can't find - is not the only unit of measure for automobile shipping. The other major one is the "RT43" measure, where each unit is four meters of lane space end-to-end and 1.5 meters across. Why? Because that's the size of the 1966 Toyota Corona, which was the first vehicle mass-exported by sea.

Middle East Peace Inc. apparently doesn't like the accords because they aptly display that Palestinians have shrinking support in the region, and the Israelis are much more reasoned. Can't have the Jews looking good and all that- amirite?

182 The Abraham Accords have very little to do with the Pali's, and much to do with the Mullahs.

Hamas has tied its little red wagon to the Iranian Islamofascists. The GCC has more compelling interests in countering Iran, and those interests line up with Israel's.

Kushner cut the "peace process" losers at the State Department out of the loop and they are screaming because they are losing their phony baloney jobs.

The Abraham Accords are not a product of the State Department.

241 My grammar pet peeve? Less vs fewer and "impact."

At least I have what I think is an explanation for the egregious misuse of "impact." I think it's because "affect" and "effect" are tricky and it's easy to use the wrong word. So throw them both out and deliberately - but consistently - misuse "impact" and no one knows that you don't know how to use affect and effect. That's my theory.

"Less" vs. "Fewer," though, just leaves my stymied. That one's *easy.* When you have fewer dollars, you have less money. It isn't difficult in the slightest.

At my old job I had a coworker who, like me, had the reputation for being the "grammar nazi" (because we both knew how to write literate sentences). He had a picture up on his cube wall with a panel from "Peanuts" of one of the characters patting the other on the pack. It was captioned, "When comforting a grammar Nazi, pat him on the back and say 'there, their, they're.'"

But it's pronounced Bethlum. And people who live here, and say it that way themselves, all deny that it's said that way.

Both of my grandfathers - lifelong Baltimoreans - worked at "Bethlum Steel" at "Spare's Point" (Sparrow's Point). Which is not far from "Dun-DOCK" (Dundalk).

Local radio station 98 Rock has a great song they play around Christmas time -- "Essex Wonderland" -- a parody of Winter Wonderland. The Baltimore accent is perfect and the lyrics are hilarious.

412 Now, if you live in the Merrimack Valley of MA (as I do), there is one word which instantly marks you out as a "townie," as it were - "mingya" (there are many different spellings).

It is Sicilian slang for "cock," and is used as an interjection - "I was pulling out of the packie, and mingya! this freakin' joo-va' almost rear ends me!"

This area was settled mainly by Irish and Italians, with a sprinking of Canucks. "Mingya" and the card game "45s" are instant signifiers.

The globalists think this is just peachy ... and it happens everywhere the CCP (some covert) is allowed into the US. They'll buy farmland and housing and companies, basically buying America and they have Biden and half of Congress in their pocket ... as well as the bureaucracy, it appears.

But our glorious FBI is tracking down every patriot that was at a rally for America, against the Coup. They clearly have targeted our liberty.

just days after Russian hackers allegedly in the U.S. Jingoistic op-eds would fill the pages of and The warning of Kremlin control of the U.S.; CNN and MSNBC would convene panel after panel of their former FBI and CIA operatives to accuse Trump of treason for subordinating U.S. interests to Russian interests; Rachel Maddow would be on the verge of righteous and indignant tears as she devoted her 20-minute monologue to decrying the tragedy that we were all living under Putin's rule; and Nancy Pelosi would be holding a press conference to about Putin's blackmail control over Trump while demanding a DOJ nvestigation.
