The Morning Report

The Morning Report — 8/31/23

Good morning, kids. Florida, as well as Georgia and South Carolina got rocked by Hurricane Idalia. There are reports of massive flooding, power outages as well as sadly at least two known deaths. Certainly, any kind of natural disaster of this magnitude is destructive to one degree or another, and it's par for the course for those who live in these areas. That's not to minimize the destruction and certainly not the deaths. But things like this should not be used for political advantage. That is "not letting a crisis go to waste." Of course the jackals of the Left and their media-propaganda accomplices do exactly that, like clockwork.

I'm tempted to say, kudos to Governor DeSantis and his team, as well as the other states affected, for their efforts in mitigating as much damage, pain and suffering as they could before and after the fact. But I shouldn't have to say that, should I? It's what they were elected to do in the first place. Yet, given what we have witnessed these past 32 months between Afghanistan, East Palestine and Maui, the contrast between individuals who are competent and responsible and anyone and everyone within training-bra-snapping distance of Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants' filthy, gnarled digits is like night and day.

Of course, Afghanistan was malice aforethought while the reactions to the other two were ideologically-driven recklessness and even plain old sheer incompetence after the fact that turned situations into total debacles. While the government's response to East Palestine showed an almost callous indifference mostly because of bigotry against so-called "flyover country," not to mention that the foot-dragging and ineptitude was payback for the region voting overwhelmingly for Trump in 2020, the first point echoes something under the surface that is today's blood-boiler:

When Christopher Kunzelman’s wife was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, he asked her where she wanted to spend the last days of her life.
She chose Maui.
Kunzelman came from Scottsboro, Arizona, bought a house and prepared to move his family in, but he soon learned that he did not belong there. Locals warned him “this is a Hawaiian village. The only thing coming from the outside is the electricity,” and “you don’t even belong in Hawaii.”
While he was moving in the furniture, two men showed up. They told him, “You seem like a nice guy, but you’re the wrong color for this place.” When he didn’t get the message, one of the men told him, “your skin is the wrong f****** color.” and hit him on the back of the head with a shovel.
The Polynesian islanders beat him with the shovel, punched him, and kicked him in the ribs while he lay unconscious. They told him, “No white man is ever going to live here.”
Kunzelman regained consciousness and made his escape while the two men were discussing how to kill him and his uncle. But when he made it to the hospital, the police refused to do anything even though he had severe injuries and had recorded part of the incident on video.
Meanwhile one of the attackers went out and assaulted another white man.
The Maui attackers had told Kunzelman, “We’re the law, we’re the police, the police have our backs, we’re the ones who make the laws, we’re the ones who enforce the laws, we’re the judge in Kahakuloa, and we’re the ones who decide if you live or die.”
And it seemed they were right. The Kunzelmans were never able to sell the house because it wasn’t safe to live there. . .
. . . Had the races in the Maui assault been reversed, we would have all heard about it. Not only did we not hear about it, but local leftist activists and the media rallied in support of the attackers.
An Associated Press article claimed that two racist thugs beating a man and planning to kill him reflects “Hawaii’s nuanced and complicated relationship with race.”
That’s not how attacks on black people moving into white neighborhoods were described. . .
. . . Much of Hawaii operates by third world rules that subvert American norms. Corrupt cronyism is ubiquitous. Rules, including safety regulations, are only honored in the breach. And resentment toward mainlanders, while not universal, is enough of a factor that the perpetrators of the Kunzelman assault could not only expect to get away with it, but they nearly did.
What role did all of those factors play in the record wildfire deaths? The answer is some. It will be very hard to separate disdain from malice, an obsession with maintaining a racial power struggle even during a crisis, a disregard for outsiders that under normal circumstances might be merely inconvenient but in this case proved fatal, and line up a specific body count.
But what happened is what leftists in America call “systemic racism”.
The system in Hawaii, while often headed by Americans, is handicapped by a significant presence of ‘indigenous’ activists who may be merely neglectful or actively hostile. And there’s little question that some people of all races died because of the systemic racism of a setup that treated outsiders as despised interlopers and used informal, rather than formal, systems.
That is the story of the Maui wildfires that no one will tell. It’s the background behind the tragedy.

This reminds me in a way of the conflicts caused by gentrification of poorer, predominantly non-white areas of the inner city by younger, mostly white professionals moving in. The word "interlopers" instantly brings to mind Al Sharpton, whose use of that word coupled with the word "white" in front of it that created death and mayhem in NYC on at least two separate occasions. And it happens to be the anniversary of the Crown Heights Pogrom that he, among a few others including then-Mayor David Dinkins, instigated which Daniel Greenfield noted in this link from yesterday.

What the estimable Greenfield notes in today's essay in that "Much of Hawaii operates by third world rules that subvert American norms" can easily be extrapolated now to almost any American city that is run by Democrats. Not just in their poorer sections but now everywhere thanks to the officially sanctioned anarcho-terrorism via the unleashing of criminals on the citizenry.

Just as an aside, given all of the above, wouldn't Maui be a terrific place for Greg Abbott, Ron DeSantis, et al, to send all the illegal alien invaders? Gold, Jerry.

Meanwhile, in a another part of the forest, two items are flying under the radar that given everything else going on in this gold-plated (until the plating is looted) banana republic of ours should raise some eyebrows.

First, as you recall the dulcet tones of Maxine "Love Canal" Waters urging people to "get in their faces," evidently yet another example, in an almost endless parade of them, of someone taking her up on it.

A far-left activist ambushed Christina Pushaw, the rapid response director for Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, outside of her home in Miami on Wednesday.
Occupy Democrats executive editor Grant Stern snuck up behind Pushaw to ask about a rumor alleging DeSantis plans to drop out of the 2024 presidential primary and run against Republican Florida Sen. Rick Scott in the Senate race.
“Christina, is Ron going to drop out of the race? Is Ron DeSantis gonna drop out?” he said.
Pushaw turned around when her name was called, and then immediately rushed inside as he neared her.
“Is Ron DeSantis gonna stay in the race or is he gonna go join the Senate race?” Stern asked.

Leftists hate guns (we'll ignore the Panthers, Antifa, BLM, the Weathermen and the Transexuals who mow down innocent adults and kids at Christian schools among others for the time being). Knives, bombs and Molotov cocktails? Not so much. In any case, this kind of behavior is acceptable and even to be encouraged. Of course, when parents merely dare raise their voices a notch or two in justifiable anger at a school board meeting about the mind- and body-rape of their kids, they are officially designated as terrorists and put on a watch list by the DOJ.

With that in mind, here's the second item from yesterday that is getting memory-holed as we speak:

A Republican activist named Alexander Talcott was found murdered in his Durham, New Hampshire home over the weekend. Details are scarce but it has been confirmed that Talcott was stabbed in the neck. No arrest has been made yet.
NBC News in Boston reports:

A suspicious death investigation that was underway this weekend in Durham, New Hampshire, has been ruled a homicide after an autopsy was completed on the victim. The New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office said in a statement Sunday that the medical examiner determined the death of 41-year-old Alexander Talcott was caused by a stab wound to the neck. His manner of death has been ruled a homicide. A spokesperson for the attorney general’s office has confirmed Talcott was a GOP activist and lawyer. . .
. . . The state director of the New Hampshire chapter of the Republican National Lawyers Association (RNLA) said in a statement to NBC10 Boston that Talcott stood out as “a staunch advocate for the core values of the Republican Party.” “His unwavering belief in liberty, free markets, and limited government resonated deeply in his role as a lawyer. Within the RNLA, his leadership was unwavering in promoting our shared values, ensuring every member felt empowered and well-prepared,” William O’Brien said of Talcott.
The New Hampshire Department of Justice has posted an update which ends strangely with this:

The investigation into Mr. Talcott’s death is ongoing and includes whether the person who stabbed Mr. Talcott acted in self-defense.
There’s obviously more to this story which should become more clear in time. Until then, keep his family and friends in your thoughts.

Wait a second. How can the NH DoJ – without any leads or suspects or theories as to what happened – even begin to postulate that the perp might have acted in self-defense?

Given everything going on around us, that is virtually a rhetorical question.

Idalia had reached the speed of 156 mph as a Category 4 storm in the Gulf of Mexico before hitting land, but dropped in intensity. The National Hurricane Center explained the storm was altering because of an eyewall replacement cycle. “This change in wind speed does not diminish the threat of catastrophic storm surge and damaging winds,” the NHC stated, warning that the storm surge could reach 12-16 feet.

I was driving in to work this morning and a Talking Heads song came on.

(Nothing But) Flowers

listening to it a little bit more intently than usual, it was an easy drive, it got me to thinking. i believe the song is supposed to be post apocalyptic war recovery, however, the more i listened, the more i feel like it's more reflective of today's current left wing slaying of "Great Satan".

Thoughts?

And resentment toward mainlanders, while not universal, is enough of a factor that the perpetrators of the Kunzelman assault could not only expect to get away with it, but they nearly did.

It's hot, it's far from anywhere, the natives are fat and insolent and lots of Orientals all over the place planning another sneak attack. people like Oprah move there and have walls and armed security to keep the local scum at bay.

22 Scenes from coming attractions:

I've been pounding the drum for an impeachment inquiry in the belief that the Left can't stand the exposure and will pre-emptively push Joe out "for reasons of health."

Until now, I thought that Kevin needed a House majority to launch a formal inquiry because that's been the normal practice for impeachment inquiries, and that might pose a challenge because Kevin only has a slim majority. But on further review, he can do it with a committee approval. Or even on his own, which is what Nancy did in Trump's second impeachment. heh.

I now put high odds on this happening. So say hello to POTUS Kamala and wide open D primaries. If she quits early, say hello to POTUS Kevin who's next in line. heh

24 "Musk’s Twitter/X Expands Censorship Efforts for Elections"

I just commented (and got willowed) in the tech thread about X (nee Twitter) being back to their throttling and shadow banning tricks. This coincides with the hiring of Linda Yaccarino as CEO.

I have a couple of links in post 208 in the tech thread showing this from actor James Woods, and authors Sarah Hoyt, and John Van Stry. Grab and follow those from that post if you want to see.

So Musk seems to have lied (or at least changed his mind) about how important freedom of speech is to him. The politicians lie, the media lies, big tech lies...

A world built on lies is like the house that is built on the shifting sands. It can't last.

"Nuanced" -- now there's a loaded word.

It refers to the sentiment that, "Yes, there are separate rules not on the books that are stacked against you and, no, you are not allowed to know what they are."

Discriminatory rules, in other words.

41 Wow. Back in 1987, my wife and I traveled to Maui for a vacation. We drove around the northwest end of the island. The rental agreement for the car we were driving had language about road conditions, but that may have been code for "no go" zones. Not far north of Kaanapali we saw cairns that harkened back to 1973's, "The Wicker Man." My guess is that roads, food, and freedom enjoyed by the Kahakuloans also came to town along with electricity. Back in the good old daze, the thugs of Kahakuloa might've been royalty, but more likely, they would've lived and died as slaves.

We were told if we went into the water we could kiss our backpacks w wallets, etc goodbye and their crew out in the water would ensure we never caught a wave. Several had knives out so we took off.

80 The system in Hawaii, while often headed by Americans, is handicapped by a significant presence of ‘indigenous’ activists who may be merely neglectful or actively hostile. And there’s little question that some people of all races died because of the systemic racism of a setup that treated outsiders as despised interlopers and used informal, rather than formal, systems.

I did some work there on Oahu. We went thru 1 village that would best be described as walmart blue tarps meets Somalia meets Appalachia circa 1930.

91 I’ve said it before; I’ll say it again: Biden will be the dem nominee next year and will be running for reelection. There are obviously factions on their side that want him out but there are others that don’t and inertia is powerful. All he has to do is sit tight and not budge. Those who want him out have to act to make it happen. How? Impeachment and removal? No way. Run against him in the primary? No one but RFK Jr and he can’t beat Biden in today’s dem party. Anyone else? No, it’s too late; ballot deadlines come and gone. Somehow crash the dem convention and nominate someone else? Optics too bad for a party that’s all about “our democracy” (vomit)…. No, Brandon is in unless he happens to drop dead (which I think is highly unlikely)

2 buddies and I thought we'd try our surfing chops at the North Shore as at the time all pretty experienced surfers. No sooner did we set our gear down when we were confronted by a large gang of locals grabbing our stuff and trying to star a fight with us. We were told if we went into the water we could kiss our backpacks w wallets, etc goodbye and their crew out in the water would ensure we never caught a wave. Several had knives out so we took off. What a pleasant welcome. We reported to shore patrol who told us "that's just the way it is, cops don't do nothing."

the Constitution rules, and the line of succession is firm: If the Veep office is empty (no matter why), the Speaker is President.
Posted by: Huck Follywood at August 31, 2023 08:09 AM (AEXeM)

*polite cough*

The succession after VP is determined by statute, not the Constitution. In 1792, it was the President Pro Tem of the Senate. Had Andrew Johnson been convicted after his impeachment, Senator Ben Wade of Ohio would have become president.

In 1947, a new law was passed and the Speaker became president if the offices of President and Vice President were vacant. The 25th Amendment notwithstanding, that remains the case. So if Kamala succeeds to the presidency and Congress doesn't vote on a new VP, Mrs. Luntz becomes president if Kamala leaves.

148 But modeling of the potential value of COVID-19 risk-mitigation interventions did indeed play such a role, and should be a cautionary tale for the future, because they enabled panicked governments to implement intervention policies that, while completely untested, were nearly guaranteed to cause massive harm to people’s lives, employment, and economies that would last many years beyond the pandemic itself. The utility of the “non-pharmaceutical” interventions, all pinned to the novel idea that society’s over-arching value was the conservation of intensive care beds, were also over-estimated. Meanwhile, the damages that would be done to society by the radical changes of widespread economic sector shutdowns, exhortations to “stay home, stay safe,” restrictions on occupancy in shops and restaurants, intimidating and unpleasant mask-mandates, social-distancing mandates, and all the rest were almost universally ignored.

KY Law DOES require that the governor replace from the same party as the replaced senator, although the current governor has vowed to fight that to the Supreme Court.
____________

Kentucky State Supreme Court. The law is part of the Kentucky State Constitution and yea, the governor has pledged to fight it.

We now know how the game is played, thanks to Michigan:

Commit fraud.
City/county level nobodies contact police.
Local police investigate, contact state police.
State police and AG investigate, contact FBI.
FBI takes over because they're responsible for vote fraud.
Case disappears.
Police reports disappear, can only be obtained through FOIA requests.
There was no voter fraud.

FYI this is true of almost all "natives".

The FNM makes this fiction that throughout the continental US there were tribes of people that had lived in their individual area since humans first arrived.

In real actual history the earliest of European colonists documented the wars between various tribes which often ended in one tribe exterminating another and taking their lands.

219 Tucker is wrong about assassination. The lunatics running the show wouldn’t have any compunction about killing him, that’s true. But even our incompetent, stupid “elites” can see that the pluses (for them) of having Trump out of the way are far outweighed by the minuses (most notably: that occurrence would most definitely wake up the LIVs out of their stupor). No… they could more easily put him in prison and/or defeat him with massive ballot dumps… without much downside. Even if he wins (which I think is definitely possible), he gets another 4 years but that worst case scenario for leftists doesn’t mean the end of their precious administrative state. They just hang out for 4 years and ignore/undermine. All the more reason for heritage Americans to focus on the state and local levels…

That's the exact opposite of the truth. Guam was an American territory, Saipan/NMI were under Japanese control. When Pearl was bombed and after the Japanese took Guam, the Saipanese were translators and helped terrorize people on Guam, who lived through actual worse conditions than most in German concentration camps with constant rapes, beheadings, beatings, torture.

Posted by: JackStraw at August 31, 2023 08:54 AM

I rented a car in St. Thomas and drove about a quarter mile up the road before there were flashing lights in the rear view mirror. The nastiest cop I've ever encountered seemed to take a personal affront that some sticker was missing on the vehicle. Told me to turn it around and return the car right now. Which I did. The car agency was right next to the hotel I was staying at with sign carrying pickets out front. Fancy name for the hotel but it was in reality a Holiday Inn - that turned off power to the air conditioning every night to conserve energy. Wish the travel agent had mentioned that.

Those campaigns were absolutely awful. The Japanese finished their little Guam adventure with mass rapes and murders. Little known fact: when the United States and Japan signed the final peace treaty, any reparations for Guam atrocities were waived. About 60 years later, the USG did pay any person there $10k if they could extensively document torture. Guess the money was better spent on BLM terrorists.

Oh, he had his reasons:

In one, he is shown posing with troops in front of a Ukrainian flag. In another, he joins a Ukrainian marine commander in examining a piece of a 125mm tank shell.

"We stand w/them in their fight against #Putin's aggression," McCain wrote in one tweet."

I happened to be living in the Bay Area when he started as a weekend fill-in local radio host at KSFO 560 AM.

Within a few years he had a steady local weekday gig, and not long after that was nationally syndicated.

One thing early on I remember him saying: "In addition to a Bill of Rights, the Founders should have given us a Bill of Responsibilities."

If Discord is available *though* Blackboard, that's a different story, as your Blackboard credentials would then give you access to Discord.

Multiple nations are very nationalist, despite their divisions within the country. And it generally is a strength. Forced "diversity" is a weapon against The West and Liberty in general. (and the left's diversity includes blind obedience to The Narrative, no diversity there).

338 Biden Was Right on Afghanistan...Conservative voters decided they cared about American soldiers when 13 of them died during the withdrawal, but they were fine with the 2,389 who gave their lives under previous administrations...

Thanks to Joe Biden, for the first time in 20 years, there will be no more Goldstar families...despite the media’s efforts to cast Biden as just as guilty of something, sane Americans have come to understand that not only did Biden do the right thing by ending this unholy war, but in fact the withdrawal itself was not nearly as calamitous as initially portrayed.

Unfortunately, the media’s obsession with creating Joe Biden’s first “scandal” did in fact lead to a significant drop in his favorable ratings following the withdrawal, but an honest assessment of the entire tragic episode now paints a completely different picture. Biden knew that a failure to follow through on Trump’s previous deal with the Taliban to withdraw American troops would lead to an immediate resumption of hostilities and continued loss of life for our troops. Responsible Americans understand this and will cast their votes accordingly.

357 Morning Horde.
I was driving in to work this morning and a Talking Heads song came on.

(Nothing But) Flowers

listening to it a little bit more intently than usual, it was an easy drive, it got me to thinking. i believe the song is supposed to be post apocalyptic war recovery, however, the more i listened, the more i feel like it's more reflective of today's current left wing slaying of "Great Satan".

Thoughts?
Posted by: SturmToddler at August 31, 2023 07:43 AM (nXhwP)

I had a similar experience about a year ago. I almost never pay much attention to lyrics but I was on a long drive and that song came on. So, I paid some attention to snatches of lyrics.

I was surprised so I listen to it again. "(Nothing But)Flowers sounds exactly like what would happen if the Ecotards and EcoPanickers won and destroyed our civilization. "Oh, look that nasty capitalistic Walmart is gone but we have a beautiful field of flowers!!!!"

The song's narrator is nearly starving to death and pining for the old days and old ways.

I doubt that was the intent of the song but David Byrne is one of the smarter rock dudes out there, so who knows?

He said they were held down on the beach until battleships started lobbing rounds into the machine gun nests.

He spent time floating in the ocean after his 1st ship was hit by a torpedo and sunk, but I wasn't told if that happened before or after the battle on the island. He wouldn't talk about Saipan.

408 71...These "facts" are all slanted toward the sentiments that the human race is a scummy thing and is a pox upon this planet.

well, storms will be storms.

Since we are both fans of BE, "hangover" now enters the chat.

Might see you all later; if not, hope you all have a lovely day.

412 Im mostly wondering about safety and privacy issues with Discord vs. Blackboard. I'm fine with using it if it doesn't present significant threats.

as "Hawaii Burning"

417 I experienced the hatred of haoles 25 years ago when I visited Hawaii to go camping. Very unpleasant and a little scary.

418 A Male Prisoner Who Murdered a Baby Wants a Vagina. The ACLU Wants Taxpayers to Pay For It.

Since when do "rights" require others to pay for them? If that's the case, the gov't should be giving me money so I can arm up, speak up, and defend myself in court from them.

Sounds like there's an unspoken native Jim Crow issue going one. Shouldn't the Gov't be enforcing the Civil Rights Act of 1964 or something on those assholes? Oh wait, those assholes vote religiously for the Gov't we have. Never mind.

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

I'm so fed up with even local history from the 1960's through almost the present day being rewritten or recited in such a way that's it's largely dishonest and virtually unrecognizable from reality.

War.

GODDAMMIT! TRUMP WARNED THE ENTIRE REPUBLICAN ESTABLISHMENT ABOUT COVID AND THE MILLIONS OF MAIL-IN BALLOT FRAUD POTENTIAL IN AUGUST OF 2020!!!!!!!!

THE FUCKING REPUBLICAN ESTABLISHMENT IN THE FUCKING SIX SWING STATES ALLOWED THEIR ELECTION LAWS TO BE VIOLATED ALLOWING UNCUSTODIED BALLOT AFTER THE POLLS WERE SUPPOSED TO CLOSE.

Learn it, love it. And the Raffenspergers of the 'party' are going to allow it again on behalf of their globalist donors.

422 AND... THEY FUCKING DID IT LAST YEAR IN THOSE SAME SWING STATES AMONG DE-FUNDING AT LEAST FOUR SENATE CANDIDATES THAT HAD TRUMP ENDORSEMENTS!

Mitch told Trump in August of last year that he will no longer provide Senate PAC cash for AZ, AK, NV, and NH.

Learn it, love it.

424 I'm making $90 an hour working from home. I never imagined that it was honest to goodness yet my closest companion is earning 16,000 US dollars a month by working on the connection, that was truly astounding for me, she prescribed for me to attempt it simply. Everybody must try this job now by just using this website... www.Salary49.com

425 No, this was not an aberration. This is Hawaii. Even Barrack Obama wrote in his book how he would go down with his friends and beat up haoles. Technically, he wrote that he watched them beat up haoles but it is like watching a gang rape. If you are part of the gang, you are one of the rapists.
President Barrack Obama was and is a violent thug.
