The Morning Report

The Morning Report — 8/9/23

Good morning, kids. Happy Nagasaki Day. Or Saganaki for dyslexics who prefer flaming Greek cheese. Speaking of flaming cheese, two ultra quick hits: the Leftists probably stole that Ohio election that would have made it difficult for the baby-killers to pass their baby-killing edicts, and Mitch McConnell is destined to roast in the Infernal Reaches.

As you digest, or more likely retch up, those items, one of the precious little darlings who channeled her inner brownshirt and physically and verbally assaulted NYC subway riders for being untermenschen (sorry, I don't have my German-Jive dictionary handy to translate that) turned herself in to the authorities and was supposedly charged (link to Murdochs' NY Post if you want to avoid them):

The teenager — whose name was not released due to her young age — turned herself in to the NYPD Tuesday morning at about 9:45 a.m. in the same area where the shocking beatdown allegedly took place aboard an F train. The girl is accused of pummeling 51-year-old Sue Young in front of her young daughters and husband, as well as bystander Joanna Lin when she began filming the teen harassing the family who was visiting from Nevada.
She was charged with two counts of assault Tuesday. The NYPD initially said its hate crimes unit was investigating the alleged assault because the girl targeted Young and her family who are Asian, but no hate crime charges were lodged against the teen and both victims said they do not believe the girl attacked them because of their race. . .
. . . Lin, who said she’d do it all over again despite the bruising she suffered, told The Post Tuesday night that she was glad the teen took some responsibility for her actions and hopes she gets help.
“I am relieved that she made the decision to turn herself in. In a perfect world, I would love if she can issue an apology to myself and Sue Young, and promise to never ever do this again,” Lin said. “I also hope she gets therapy, counseling and mentorship needed to move up from here.”

"Therapy, counseling and mentorship?!" Ms. Lin, what do you think she has been getting drummed into her walnut-sized brain since the moment she fell out of her mother's poisonous loins by teachers, politicians, the so-called entertainers and her peers up to the moment her mangled grammar mixed with her fists fell on your head?!

What happened to you and your fellow straphangers is the result of, with due apologies to Rogers and Hammerstein, being "carefully taught." As I stated yesterday about the tourist father who all but groveled out a mea culpa for the high crime of riding the subway in the presence of black teens while being white, their reactions to what happened to them is what was truly depressing in the extreme.

As to the actions of Daniel Penny that led to the unfortunate (for all definitions of that word) demise of the psycho criminal Michael Jackson impersonator, the latter was indeed clinically out of his mind. What about this little darling and her friends? Clinically and technically, she was for sure in her right mind. But given the constant, incessant drumbeat going on since well before she was brought into this world, was she too driven insane? Can what has been done to multiple generations of blacks via the incessant perpetual victimhood at the hands of white supremacy meme made them, and people like that father, be considered a form of mass psychosis and/or brain damage (discuss!)? It's not merely an academic or philosophical question because as we can plainly see, there are real world consequences to all of this.

In any case, given the state of affairs in our nation and society, do you really think that this feral spawn of LBJ's "Great Society" is going to face any real charges or consequences? From a DA's office run by Alvin Bragg? Daniel Penny may be out on bail (thanks to the late commenter yesterday for pointing that out) but given the fact that a jury pool where most blacks in NYC probably think like the thug-ette and that most whites in NYC like her victim, and judges cut from the same cloth as Bragg, do you think he has a snowball's chance of a fair trial? Even if by a miracle he is acquitted, he for sure faces financial ruin in a civil trial by the psycho he unintentionally, and dare I say it mercifully, dispatched.

Folks, we've seen this movie before and there's no spoiler alert to tell you how it ends:

White farmers in South Africa have been brutally attacked after a leading politician led a packed stadium in chants of “kill the Boer, the farmer,” and the corporate media’s globally broadcast defense of the incident. Theo Bekker, 79, was brutally murdered in a farm attack on Sunday, with the South African Agricultural Union (TAU) reporting 35 such murders committed this year.
“[A]fter the chanting… there [have] been two farm attacks and one farm murder,” said Ernst Roets, a civil rights activist whose AfriForum organization represents Dutch-origin Afrikaners, often described as Boers, who make up the bulk of South Africa’s roughly 4.6 million-strong white minority. . .
South African politicians and Western media often deny there is any racial element to farm attacks in South Africa, with The New York Times even publishing an article suggesting that calls to “kill the Boer, the farmer” should not be “taken literally”. [Elon] Musk expressed disbelief that the NYT had “the nerve to support calls for genocide,” recommending people “cancel” the newspaper and circumvent its paywall.

I guess the NY Times is channeling Whoopi, aka Fat Albert Speer in that they didn't mean literally "kill-kill!" Funny how when Leftists aren't lying to you, they can be so brutally honest about their intentions. Emphasis on "brutally."

A Texas elementary school teacher is out of a job after she posted “racist” statements on social media that included complaints about her sister dating a white man, according to the school system and reports. The Mesquite Independent School District said in a statement Tuesday the teacher, who is black, was no longer with the school after officials became aware of “alarming, racist” posts she wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“As of this morning, the employee is no longer a part of the Mesquite ISD organization and is not eligible for rehire,” the school system said in a statement, adding officials can’t say more because it’s a personnel matter. “Nevertheless, the highly offensive statements posted to her X account do not reflect the values and standards of Mesquite ISD, and the district condemns them in the strongest terms.”
The teacher wrote she was upset her sister was dating a white man and joked that she asked her boyfriend to kill him, according to posts reviewed by the Dallas Morning News.In other posts, she used derogatory words for white people, the newspaper reported.
The teacher — who used the social media name Claire Kyle — has deleted her account from the social media platform. The account name appeared to be an alias. The teacher called herself a “Black Supremacist” in her social media account bio and hinted that her job knew about the posts before she lost her job, CBS Austin reported.
“Yes. Y’all have found my job. They told me to delete the post but my job is safe since I did not directly wish harm on ALL white people,” the teacher stated Monday “They laughed and told me to watch what I say and I’ll be good to go!”
The teacher taught third grade for three years at Thompson Elementary School and taught at the district for four years, according to the Dallas Morning News.

Well, that's a relief. She doesn't wish harm on ALL white people. How does that jibe with Ibram X. Krement's Jive Kampf? He and others of his bent purport that all white people are genetically predisposed from birth to be racist.

Considering that this hideous trash is now more or less in every school curriculum across the country, she spoke a heresy.

Bitter sarcasm aside, this "teacher" is not a one-off. Like that book and the 1619 Project and the homosexual pornography being foisted on children as mere sex education, and all the rest of it, there are thousands just like her in virtually every classroom from K through 12 and of course all the way through post-graduate.

If you want to know how what happened on the NYC subway came to be, look no further than this woman's Mesquite, TX classroom, and weep.

Or better yet, get angry.

If the GOP goes ahead with impeachment proceeding the GOP will be outed as every bit as corrupt (if not more) than the *biden crime family.

But... but, the Democrats will be clean as the driven snow.

Thus, impeachment is a non-starter even though it should have been started 18 months ago. Oh, and McConnell needs a dirt nap pronto.

25 Near the end of the Economist profile, the author notes that Fink is an easy target, given Blackrock’s size and influence, and is in some ways a throwback to the Gilded Age “robber barons” of the late nineteenth century. The author draws a contrast between the titans of that era and the leaders of today’s corporate giants; while the former were “purely exploitative,” modern corporate chiefs “live in a time of climate change” and are merely “trying to do the world a good turn” by wading into today’s political issues.

The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated;
but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." ― C. S. Lewis

101 >>What I don't understand is why Putin simply does not and did not release the goods when he had a chance.

One interesting theory, Mutually Assured Destruction. I think we tend to look at Ukraine as just a US/Russia thing but it was much bigger. Ukraine and related areas were the source of money laundering for the world including Russia for a long time.

I've seen estimates that put the amount of money Baturina was funneling through Archer and Hunter at over $200 million and I doubt she was the only Russia oligarch trying to get money out of Russia to evade sanctions.

Look at Oleg Deripaska. A Russian oligarch with ties to Putin that was involved with McGonigal but is now against Putin because of his investments in Ukraine. It's a complicated mess of corruption and nobody has completely clean hands.

https://tinyurl.com/empeachment

Despite millions of deferred action immigrants crossing the southern border, busloads being sent to the Interior, crowded tent cities of migrants and long lines at welfare benefits offices, Colorado farmers are bemoaning the lack of seasonal brown people to pick peaches, chiles and melons. With peaches selling for around $40 a flat at the source, I'm thinking Mr. Talbot could pay competitive rates and hire locally. He says 90% of his workforce is migrant and I would bet my left nut that not all of them are seasonal H2-A vusa-holders.

108 She was charged with two counts of assault Tuesday. The NYPD initially said its hate crimes unit was investigating the alleged assault because the girl targeted Young and her family who are Asian, but no hate crime charges were lodged against the teen and both victims said they do not believe the girl attacked them because of their race
++++
They might be right, but only after a fashion. If, all other things being equal, the other people were white or Latino or East Indian, the same attack in the same manner may well have occurred.

That does not, however, mean that the attack wasn't racially-motivated. Even if it wasn't specifically "anti-Asian," the assault probably was "anti-non-black," but that doesn't count in New York City.

110 Lin, who said she’d do it all over again despite the bruising she suffered, told The Post Tuesday night that she was glad the teen took some responsibility for her actions and hopes she gets help.

“I am relieved that she made the decision to turn herself in. In a perfect world, I would love if she can issue an apology to myself and Sue Young, and promise to never ever do this again,” Lin said. “I also hope she gets therapy, counseling and mentorship needed to move up from here.”

This is why she'll do it again.

120 Illegal kidnapper timeline: https://tinyurl.com/2p3bvp3z

He was granted Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals ("DACA") status at age 15 but it expired in May 2019. Calixto Pichardo attended college and maintained employment, but in late 2017 he began struggling with mental health issues, attempted suicide, and was eventually diagnosed with major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder. His obsessive and threatening behavior directed at a former girlfriend resulted in criminal charges in 2018. He pled guilty to kidnapping and was sentenced to 6 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections.

On October 29, 2020, Calixto Pichardo's kidnapping conviction was vacated. He pled guilty to a lesser charge of unlawful restraint, was resentenced to time served, and was released on October 30, 2020. He complied with all the conditions of his mandatory supervised release and maintained employment. His parole officer informed him he was being considered for early termination of supervised release.

On May 4, 2021, Calixto Pichardo was arrested on a federal charge of Improper Entry, 8 U.S.C. § 1325(a)(1). [Case pending]

I've read it and yes, of course Pence was in on it. He recently had a Kinsley gaffe where he accidentally admitted that he had the power to set aside the electoral votes and Congress admitted as much when they changed the law this year.

I also think that Pence thought he would become president during Trump's term and that is why his VP office was a center of the Never Trumper GOPe faction. There is a long strain of asshole Republicans that persuade themselves that they have principles when they stab their own voters or a politician doing what the people want in the back.

169 On the topic of the bombs, I read recently that the Japanese are furious over the "Barbenheimer" phenomenon because of the banality with which the creation - and use - of the atomic bomb is being treated by audiences. Bright, pink and fun has no place anywhere near atom bombs and they're pretty pissed about it.

What's amusing in all of the commentary about this (some rolling their eyes, some seriously discussing the Japanese point) is that nobody has called out that absent "Barbenheimer," the Japanese would have exactly the same reaction against "Oppenheimer" alone. *Anything* to do with the bomb that comes out of the west and yet does *not* revolve entirely around how awful it was for Japan and how evil the bomb was gets more or less the same response from the Japanese. Just the one movie, released without any major competition (or weird double-feature opportunity) would have still faced Japanese backlash.

Not quite, it is pretty useful to simply set up an investigatory impeachment inquiry simply to torture Dems for a change using the process as punishment. Due to DC Circuit and Scotus decisions, a committee has free rein to subpoena phone records of gollums like Goldman, Thompson, and Schiff, financial records of ALL the Bidens going all the way back, and so on, then dig into the various foundations and think tanks like Brookings and the LawFare bunch using subpoena power.

Use it as a fishing expedition with no intention to actually impeach.

China may threaten it but Xi after assuming full power will lose it all if he fails.

We had considerable expertise in amphibious landings in WWII and D-Day was still a massive roll of the dice by the time it occurred.

The Germans had the same problem with Operation Sea Lion, insufficient navy to guard the invasion and a limit in sea lift capability to put troops in the SE of England and keep them supplied.

China's way is more bluff. bribes, and subversion than outright invasion--far less risky.

-ace writing a semi humorous thing on Howard Dean falling down on the job and how Vermont(?) failed it's 'security rating.'

-female al-qaeda smuggling bombs onto their planes in their vaginas. ('snatch blasters', per ace.)

From the crotch blast post, this:
"I'm not sanguine about having to subject Muslim women to this indignity. It's intrusive, it's insulting, it's humiliating. But what else are we supposed to do? How many mass-murders can we bear before deciding that some humiliation is the lesser evil?"

That's... that's not a good line of thinking. I know we were all in the midst of such thinking, but also consider: how does that shoe feel when other people try to put it on the other foot re Covid?

What is the realistic path to victory for any candidate who takes the side of the Democrats--against that 57 million-- and says there was no fraud?

Is the oh-so-clever-lawyer dodge of "Trump didn't prove fraud changed the outcome" any better that wholly agreeing with the Democrats?

As someone pointed out yesterday, what candidate in the race has threatened the grift and corruption of the Uniparty?

280 Saint for the Day:

St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (1891--1942) was born as Edith Stein in Prussia, the youngest of eleven children from a devout Jewish family. As she matured she became an atheist. She went on to receive a doctorate in philosophy. Despite her atheism, she was affected by several friends who displayed a great passion for the Catholic faith. One day, she saw the autobiography of St. Teresa of Avila. She read it from cover to cover, and after finishing it she exclaimed, "This is the Truth." Edith was baptized in Cologne, Germany in 1922. From there she taught for a time at a Dominican school. Discerning a call to the religious life, she became a Carmelite nun in Cologne 1934, taking the name Teresa Benedicta of the Cross. When the Nazi threat grew in Germany, her Order transferred her to a convent in the Netherlands. The Nazis eventually came for her, and she, along with her sister Rose, who was also a convert, were sent to the camp at Auschwitz. They were both killed in the gas chamber. St. Edith Stein is the patroness of martyrs and Europe. Her feast day is August 9th.

Which it isn't. It's just getting things back to where they were before a prior Dem controlled legislature changed it to 50% majority rule. But give the Prog-tards credit - they brought in the dark $$ and made the whole affair sound like some attack on the rights of citizens to "upend majority rule" in the conservative parts of the state, i.e. rural, while downplaying the abortion part.

The Temperature "Data": Globally, July 2023 was the hottest July in the records since 1940 (by 0.32 degrees C). In the US lower 48 states, July 2023 was the 11th warmest July on record.

Links to full reports are below. The Commissars do their best to terrify the LIVs with lots of RED, scary sub-headings, and funky-scaled graphs. I also pasted the temperature summaries for you.

Global

As anticipated in a C3S press release on 27 July, C3S data now confirm that July 2023 has been the hottest July and hottest month in the ERA5 data record, which goes back to 1940 (See Supplementary Information section 2). The monthly average temperature was 16.95°C, well above the previous record of July 2019 (16.63°C) and virtually identical to our best estimate of the 1.5°C warming above preindustrial level for July (16.96°C).

I know several people who went through Middlebury, mostly women. Precisely *one* of them has turned out (relatively) normal. I think in her case, it's because she was engaged to her high school sweetheart (my college friend) before they went off to school. She escaped Middlebury a couple of times a semester to come see him, and they were together on longer breaks back in their home town. Without something like that to keep you grounded, you have little chance of survival.

And yeah, they're still married. Big libs, but whatever.

But it is what it is. If I saw it as a net positive for the Republican Party I would say that. But in my state a (R) candidate for Governor ran on a position you might advocate and lost handily. I see it in other states, too.

Until we get closer, I'm still concerned about Republican whatthefuckery tonight.

The GQP has been very busy attacking citizen referendum/initiative abilities in the heavily gerrymandered states they control. They have been very successful at chipping away at the ability of citizens to place referendums/initiatives on ballots and for what those can do if passed.

You would have had to be a real moron to vote yes. Even if you are a forced birther. To weaken your ability to change the law is idiotic Five years from now you could find yourself in the minority, with a popular idea (by popular I mean like 57% support) and you've just cut yourself off at the knees.

What she's really saying is, "Hey, we didn't want to have to stuff ballot boxes and rig elections, Trump made us. Now the U.S. has been destroyed as we know it, all because you plebes just couldn't accept your place and forced us into action."

||…according to sources connected to White House security, the bag of cocaine that was found in the White House belonged to someone in the “Biden family orbit”–and Joe Biden knows the individual.

Three sources reportedly told Susan Katz Keating of “Soldier of Fortune” magazine that the Secret Service told Joe Biden the name of the person who brought the cocaine inside the White House last month, and the three sources all identified the same individual to the magazine. According to Keating, the sources “work for a U.S. government agency, and are not authorized to speak to the media.”||

413 Lastly, Bass said China has been "running marine diesel refining at full tilt" despite a slowing economy. He added that this was a signal of increased demand for marine fuel. Beijing has doubled its number of licensed bonded marine fuel dealers since 2020, Reuters has reported, though exports of the low-sulphur oil fell in 2022.

"There's so many signals that all point in the same direction," he said.

"Everything you'd expect them to be doing, they're actually doing," Bass continued. "Unfortunately, none of us want war, but I'm going to tell you, Xi's going to bring war to the West."

479 They get to command the wealth of the Plutocrats in exchange for granting them power and a means to satisfy their ambitions. Plutocrats have always purchased functionaries. It's sort of what they do. The functionaries get rich, but don't achieve world-historic wealth.

Instant grits and iced tea from powder are two of the abominations along with putting bbq sauce on grilled meat after serving it. If'n you don'

True that. Wife refused to live about the good iced tea line which about coincides with Yankee land.

I've never liked or understood sweet tea. Good, strong black tea served over ice is wonderful and I drink it on the regular. In my opinion, dumping sugar into it is just a way to ruin perfectly good iced tea.

Oh well. Difference of opinion is what makes horse racing.

486 Good morning, all, and thanks, J.J.

I don't know why it's assumed such mean girls are from terrible places and beating on others is therapeutic & can make one whole. Why the awful stereotype that certainly wasn't true many decades ago?

But our betters reside mostly in the best places where the demographics are majority White, then Asian or Hispanic, and they say, "For the greater good.," words only, not by deed, to keep they and theirs afloat. The working class, before and now, is fodder. Most of us just didn't want to believe it so.

Keep an eye on the Admin & the Virgin Islands. Crazy K, and then Joe, are quite the presence in the region, dating from the very beginning of their reign with O, but ever increasing of late. For example only: PBS June 8, 2023, Vice President Harris announces aid for Haiti, support for climate change initiatives ahead of visit to Caribbean. Also in June, Biden named Charles J. Willoughby Jr. Candidate for the District of Columbia Superior Court.

Looks good on the surface but there's always an impactful catch to their actions.

Good day.

488 Proterra fails the same time in the current Administration as Solyndra failed in O and Joe's first. Does no one ever see the patterns of operation, the stock market, real estate, bailouts, healthcare, yada, yada, yada??!!

489 Elon is shocked the NYT is supporting genocide? Elon, look up Walter Duranty.

And O/T these South African terrorists look almost comically communist. The beret, the talk of "struggle" songs, the red clothes. Of course the NYT thinks that's great.

491 We don't have many kids in Ohio. Our population is like Florida's but without the money or brains to leave the state. Maybe the rate of decline could be slowed if Ohioans didn't love killing babies so much.

No, really.

494 We should not impeach Joe Biden. Because that is where they will be able to mount the strongest defense. So we attack where they are weaker. Impeach Garland and Wray. Once they and others are punished, then impeach and then prosecute Biden, while he is in and out of office.

495 Thanks for the mention; it's an honor to be part of the conversation.

Go your way in Peace.
