The Morning Report — 8/11/23

Good morning, kids. And greetings from somewhere in midtown Manhattan. I'll have some thoughts on this sort of surreal experience in a separate piece on Monday, so BOLO for that.

Now on to the "fresh hell" or warmed-over purgatory for the day. In any case, it really is fresh hell for the people of Maui HI:

The death toll from the wildfires that have ravaged vast parts of the west coast of Hawaii’s Maui island over the past 48-hours stood at 53 late Thursday night. Authorities have warned the count is expected to rise.
“In 1960 we had 61 fatalities when a large wave came through Big Island,” Governor Josh Green said, referring to a tragedy that struck a year after Hawaii became the 50th U.S. state.
“This time, it’s very likely that our death totals will significantly exceed that.”
Green said around 1,700 buildings were now believed to have been affected by the blaze, as Breitbart News reported. . .
. . . “There is no doubt everyone would describe this as though a bomb hit Lahaina,” he said. “It looks like total devastation; buildings that we’ve all enjoyed and celebrated together for decades, for generations, are completely destroyed.”
U.S. Coast Guard commander Aja Kirksey told CNN around 100 people were believed to have jumped into the water in a desperate effort to flee the fast-moving flames as they tore through Lahaina.

Prayers for the victims. That said, I hate to be a hard-bitten cynic (yeah. right) but given the fact that some of the residents on that island include such people as Oprah Winfrey, Jeff Bezos, Clint Eastwood and Larry Ellison, to name but a few, I'm sure it won't be long before President Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants is on the ground to declare a disaster and throw billions of dollars for relief. After all, the residents of Maui are just plain folks. Just like the plain folk of East Palestine, Ohio, right?

Of course, sometimes a natural disaster isn't so natural because of "climate change." Given the wildfires in California and the media's reaction to them, I'm sure some propagandist schmuck somewhere is already working on that angle as we speak.

Facts and reality be damned, as friend of the blog and MR's unofficial science reporter Bob Zimmerman elucidates:

The present and growing dark age: According to the watchdogs who run the website Retraction Watch, the number of peer-reviewed scientific papers that have been retracted each year has risen from 40 in 2000 to 5,500 in 2022, an astonishing increase of 13,750%.
According to these watchdogs, there are two reasons for this increase in research failure:

Retractions have risen sharply in recent years for two main reasons: first, sleuthing, largely by volunteers who comb academic literature for anomalies, and, second, major publishers’ (belated) recognition that their business models have made them susceptible to paper mills – scientific chop shops that sell everything from authorships to entire manuscripts to researchers who need to publish lest they perish.
These researchers are required – sometimes in stark terms – to publish papers in order to earn and keep jobs or to be promoted. The governments of some countries have even offered cash bonuses for publishing in certain journals. Any surprise, then, that some scientists cheat?
I think the watchdogs are missing the major and much more basic source for this problem. Since the 1990s the academic community has largely abandoned — even condemned — the fundamental concepts of the Enlightenment, which established the scientific method with its unwavering dedication to finding the truth, no matter where it led. These fundamentals required from scientists not only the ability to think critically, questioning without mercy everything they did, they also demanded a very high level of ethics from scientists, since without those ethics the urge to lie and cheat becomes so much easier. . .
. . . Compounding this willingness to put politics and ideology first, the Marxist political theories that have taken over many campuses have worked to slander and discredit the Enlightenment, often calling it simply an expression of “systemic racism” because it was established mostly by “old white men.” The high standards of honesty and ethics it demanded from everyone, no matter their race, were obviously “racist” and must therefore be abandoned.
The result in the 21st century has been this skyrocketing retraction rate. Too many scientists no longer see anything wrong with cheating and lying and falsifying data. Too many put their political goals first. And too many scientists are also willing to look the other way in order to keep their jobs.

Interesting and seemingly counterintuitive to me that there are any retractions at all, especially to the extent in the story, given the fact that so much of the scientific community is composed of Trofim Lysenko's, who view and promote narratives and memes that are declared as Sacred Absolute Eternal Truths.

And, though completely unrelated, that last sentence applies with equal measure to the cops, military and Sean Hannity's/Yawn Inanity's vaunted "ham 'n eggers" if/when push comes to shove in dealing with a citizenry that has finally had enough.

Have a great weekend.

William Jacobson: The “hands up, don’t shoot” lie gave birth to the formal Black Lives Matter movement.

I’m never, ever, going to stop telling the truth about it.

29 Nowadays, idyllic out of the way places where only the poors once lived eventually get found by the rich who then proceed to destroy the places with their big, new gated houses and condos, electric cars and hot and cold running servants, etc.

Okra Chinthree and her ilk are all just selfish, greedy destroyers of places which were better off before being "found" by them. Too bad they all can't stay in Manhattan or Chicago.

Well, she could say, "Whitey f'd my ancestors, figuratively and literally!" Most blacks in this country have some Slave Master/Slave Master's children/relatives genes in them. It was terrible being a slave. And no doubt, the slave trade in Africa had a huge hand in what happened as well.

49 Thomas Dee, who has studied academic outcomes for 11 years at Stanford, submitted testimony last month in support of the families’ claims in a 2020 lawsuit that the state harmed vulnerable children when they shut down classrooms and effectively stalled instruction. Within days, the California Department of Education sent him a letter claiming that because he works with taxpayer-funded data from the agency, he could not criticize the state in court.

"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered.

109 the number of peer-reviewed scientific papers that have been retracted each year has risen from 40 in 2000 to 5,500 in 2022, an astonishing increase of 13,750%.
----------

What the shit kind of statistic is this?

Does someone want to mention if the same number of papers was published in 2022 as 2000 or nah bro?

---------
far outpacing growth in the annual volume of papers published.
---------

Oh there it is. But no one wants to tell me what the denominator actually is? No one has that number? We just say it increased 13,000 percent and move on. If the number of papers has grown, then it's NOT 13,000 percent. If there has been a marked increase in certain types of papers (like if there's a lot more "social science" papers) then we need to know that.

Also is every retraction from a paper only from that same year? Or in 2022, is the denominator a multi-year one. If someone wants to tell me that for the purposes of this topic, there's not much difference between 6,000 percent and 13,000 percent, or 2,000 percent and 13,000 percent, yes there is. Stop contributing to people's ignorance. This is legitimately why I don't read any news.

Remdesivir may be the most despised drug in American history, earning the nickname Run Death Is Near for its lethal record during COVID. Experts claimed that it would stop COVID; instead, it stopped kidney function, then blasted the liver and other organs. Now this reviled destroyer of kidneys has been approved by the FDA for COVID treatment of kidney patients. Does anybody else feel as if the FDA is shoving its power in our faces and laughing at us?

114 Do we have an American Leo Amory? There is Trump, of course. But his rhetoric is sporadic and it strafes; it does not hit with precision and follow-through. MAGA is a slogan, a good one, but does not unfold into a vision, is not accompanied by a breadth and depth of the best political speech and movements. I had thought DeSantis recognized this and that was why he was running, because he saw Trump's inherent limitations and believed he could do better. But I'm not hearing anything like that from him. Ramaswamy sounds good, but I feel something wrong there with the total package.

In my opinion, Pierre Poilievre, the Canadian conservative leader, is the sharpest and best political communicator in the West.

||When Ludwig Helm first heard that a villa in his town used 80,000 liters of water a day — 625 times the daily average consumption of a one-person household in Germany — he thought the meter must be defective.

It wasn’t.

The wealthy town of Königstein, which sits on the wooded slopes of the Taunus, a mountain range near Frankfurt in Germany, counts some 98 people with annual incomes above €1 million among its 16,700 residents. Those households are driving water consumption through the roof, flouting restrictions aimed at protecting drinking water supplies as the region grapples with drought.||

They also conveniently ignore the fact that he picked up troubled youth on drugs from the streets of San Francisco to have sex with.

For nearly a year-and-a-half Our Betters have been getting way with one of the biggest cons on the whole population I can recall: "For as long as it takes."

As long as it takes for what to occur? Still Unanswered. Vietnam and Afghanistan turned into "as long as it takes" cons. The only differences between Ukraine and our previous "as long as it takes" missions are no US military personnel killed, so far, and the creation and use of the propaganda slogan, "For as long as it takes."

I'd be surprised if some weather dot com or equivalent service didn't have some sort of notification that conditions were conducive to wildfire spread in HA. Locally, it's referred to as a 'red flag' warning. I check weather every morning and see it maybe six times a year. High winds, low humidity, and an absence of rain seem to be the trigger.

Going after Trump may make him stronger, and thus each charge makes his nomination more sure; but wouldn't impeaching Biden now make Newsome more likely?

Its hard to imagine what could be worse than Biden, but a charismatic devil whose lies cause AWFLs to swoon like Obama, just seems to add a JATO pack to FUSA's descent to Hell. (we are already at Banana Republic, what comes next is CWII which ushers in the Thousand Years of Darkness)

255 Concur. I like using "Oriental" as it differentiates from "Asian" which the Brits call Pakis even though "Corner Shop" works well for them too. Oriental brings to mind Charlie Chan, Tojo, Dr. No and others from the mysterious East.

You're not allowed to understand WHY, you just have to comply. Then the goalpost gets moved and you're simply supposed to comply.

Oriental as a term is much more specific - whereas Asians could also denote Iran, Iraq, Saudi, etc. But yeah - let's be LESS specific.

How?
At a bare minimum, the victory in November has to be so total and overwhelming that you don't even have to say "mandate." The Dems will be falling all over themselves to cut a deal.
Do you see that kind of win even remotely possible?
So none of what they say they will do will happen.
And, any promises to do anything radical are lies.
It's why Ron isn't gaining traction-- intuitively the base understands he can't do what he claims, his stellar record in FL notwithstanding. And also why Trump only gains when he gets another indictment.

322 >> Most of the high profile fires in recent memory were arson - environmentalists running a State of Fear scenario, pyros, and illegals (in the US).

The Denver DA's husband is an arsonist, and has started many fires.
10/2021 -- The husband of Denver District Attorney Beth McCann was sentenced to 10 days in jail for setting slash piles on fire and leaving them unattended in Grand County during a fire ban last year. Christopher Linsmayer, 69, originally faced a dozen counts of felony arson and other misdemeanor counts for setting fires in the Gorewood Subdivision in Grand County near Kremmling, not far from where the East Troublesome Fire was burning.

***10 days***

Apparently he's a known firebug and it he's suspected of starting many fires before this incident.

The argument they are making is that vague threats on social media should be handled as if the person making them showed up at his target's doorstep and threatened to kill them.

By this standard thousands of leftists currently deserve a middle of the night raid with guns drawn. Hell what Robertson said wouldn't get you in trouble with your social media provider if his target was...Trump.

"He estimated there were around 150 people there including multiple current and former Democratic elected officials."

Go look at the photo of the small room and how intentionally closely cropped to only show Biden it is. If there were 150 people there, it was counting city employees, security, folks walking by outside, etc

this was the best accident, though:

"The President also took some questions. But Howell said his favorite moment was as Biden was leaving. "

342 In the Breeona Taylor case...one of BLM's martyrs - she was having a relationship with a violent drug kingpin - among other things he had left the corpse of another drug dealer...in her car.

The cops found out he was going to be at her house and planned a middle of the night raid. The problem is...it wasn't the drug kingpin, it was some other guy she'd picked up.

The cops claimed they announced themselves and the guy started shooting at them. The guy claims he was awoken by someone breaking down the door. Either way this started a gun battle that led to Breeona getting shot.

While Mr One Night Stand was originally arrested after the FNM covered the case it was thrown out and one of the cops was arrested.

Now...compared that to the case here, where it looks like the argument the government will make is...we woke someone up in the early morning and...he had a gun so we had to shoot him!

Incredibly sad. Maui, who would think? When will all of these warning signs be enough? Oh wait, we've had warning signs for decades on gun violence and nothing has changed.

Make no mistake, climate change is making scenes like this more frequent.

Can the feds ship more fire trucks and equipment over there now. Fire trucks and equipment could fit on the big plane the altered 747 I forget what it’s called. Dreamlifter I think.

The raid and killing was an example to others. As in The Others.

If the Leftists ever get gun or ammunition ownership banned (all they need is one SCOTUS ruling), the thugs with badges will not start doing door-to-door searches. They will start with televised, maximum violence, no knock raids on selected suburban homes, expecting the examples to convince a lot of married, or single non-John Wayne gun owners, to quickly hand-over all guns and ammo at the nearest police station. That could vastly reduce the scale of the dis-armament work.

I give it to her that she got herself out there in press, spirit and body. BO was more subtle on X: "It's tough to see some of the images coming out of Hawai'i - a place that so special to so many of us. Michelle and I are thinking of everyone who has lost a loved one, or whose life has been turned upside down. If you like to help, you can do so here. Hawaii community foundation org/maui strong.

431 The Governor of Massachusetts wants residents to open their homes to illegal immigrants.

Back in the 80s when the evil Ronald Reagan was hunting hobos for sport, I had a roommate whose parents were in a Boston suburb. They were both school teachers and they owned 6 homes.

Anyway we were having a political discussion - back then you could still do that - and she brought up all the homeless and how it was Reagan's fault. I mentioned her 5 other homes and noted that she had opened exactly zero of them to the homeless.

That actually set her back. She said you're right. And seemed thoughtful. But she never opened a house to the homeless.

464 Retractions have risen sharply in recent years for two main reasons: first, sleuthing, largely by volunteers who comb academic literature for anomalies, and, second, major publishers’ (belated) recognition that their business models have made them susceptible to paper mills – scientific chop shops that sell everything from authorships to entire manuscripts to researchers who need to publish lest they perish.
+++++
1. Those "paper mills" will be AI-driven soon, if they aren't already. Contemporary postmodern "scholarship" is extremely easy to generate. It's all highly-structured nonsense that is derived in rigidly predictable ways from the underlying root of criticism and deconstruction. All work is based on dismantling some structure, rather than developing or discovering something new. Postmodernism is not creative, and so it is a great fit for AI. There is only one idea at the core of postmodernism, and there has been no net-new discovery at all since the original postmodern critique.

2. The "sleuthing" is the real damnation. Armchair reviewers have done what the vast peer review panels failed to do. On purpose. They don't do well, they just get caught.

477 Last month, a coalition of leftist groups filed a lawsuit seeking to undo a Wisconsin law prohibiting the use of ballot drop boxes in elections. In a case before the Badger State's highest court last year, the then-Republican majority ruled the Wisconsin Elections Commission's authorization of drop boxes in the 2020 election violated state law and that the devices could not be used for future contests.
================
As the article says, the lefties now control the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Not good.

494 The Issues & Insights hit piece against the right of repair is absolute garbage.
Their example of someone “rewriting Tesla software” and taking the car on the road, thereby making it a potential hazard, and forbidden on that basis, is the same “what if” nonsense people argue against 3D printed firearms with, and just as flawed.

People have, can, and do, modify their cars , far outside of manufacturer’s specs. “Hopping up your car” with aftermarket parts has been done since the beginning of cars. “Rewriting Tesla’s software” would be no different. We have lived with this reality for over a hundred years. Automakers are 100% opposed to the non-dealer repair work done now, so it’s no surprise they want to return all repair work to their dealerships.

“What if criminals take advantage of freedom?” is an anti-freedom, pro-totalitarian sentiment., no matter what scenario you offer. It is a price to be paid for freedom, because the alternative is to treat everyone as a criminal, which is much, much worse.

507 J.J.-

While there are EXTREMELY rich people who live in Maui, having visited there a couple of times now, I can tell you that the people who lost everything weren't the rich.

Lahaina is (well, I guess, was) pretty much working class. It's not where rich people live.

POSSIBLY a few of the houses outside of town that burnt were likely ultra rich, but most of the people in that town barely scrape by.

The rich live much further north, much further south, or much further east. (And the REALLY rich live on a different island.)

Some have not yet obtained work permits, and many are still ...(First of all, I thought only 4 or 5 had remained specifically in Martha's Vineyard.)

The Texas Tribune, June 6: Sheriff files criminal charges over Florida’s transport of migrants from San Antonio to Massachusetts. The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office didn’t say who it has accused of unlawful restraint in connection with last year’s flight to Martha’s Vineyard paid for by Florida. On Monday, California announced it’s investigating similar flights from El Paso to Sacramento.

518 The climate hasn't changed...much.

The Hawaiian language name Lā hainā means "cruel sun", describing the sunny dry climate.

In fact it is remarkably, dramatically, exponentially cooler...It started as a 15,000degree exploding volcano of molten Lava, boiling ocean, mega clouds of soot, greenhouse gases and superheated water vapor, rising MILES from the seafloor. Likely altering the GLOBAL climate as it formed.

Pssst...Dora? The Hurricane? 600+ miles away to the south, zero effect on the Maui weather, they were in a high pressure system with slightly stronger, but "Normal" Trade winds from the east.
