The Morning Report

The Morning Report — 9/27/23

Good morning, kids. The big story this morning is mass organized terrorism in Philadelphia over the sane decision to drop murder charges for a cop who shot and killed some scumbag who pulled a knife on him during a routine traffic stop. That of course is not the real heart of the story. That is a myth, equally to the fiction that what is happening is both spontaneous and justified. What's going on is organized, anarcho-terrorism straight up.

Mass looting is being reported all over Philadelphia tonight. There are accounts of Center City stores being cleaned out by looters, including Lululemon, the Apple Store, a Foot Locker near the Liberty Bell, and many others . . .
. . . According to a Twitter/X post from PhillyCrimeUpdate, emergency response switchboards are lit up with calls. . .
. . . There are unconfirmed reports of looters livestreaming their crimes, monitoring police scanners, and coordinating their efforts on social media. . .
. . . Not surprisingly, the District Attorney’s Office, headed by Soros DA Larry Krasner, announced that it would appeal the decision. Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney inflamed the situation by tweeting his support for the man who pulled a knife on police officers:

My thoughts are with Eddie Irizarry’s family and loved ones today as they continue to seek justice and answers around his death. I trust @philadao will do everything in its power to pursue justice and accountability.
No doubt any criminals arrested tonight will be back on the streets without hours if not minutes. It was just a few years ago that the Philadelphia City Council cut $33 million from the police budget. Krasner’s office stopped requiring cash bail for a wide range of crimes, including theft and receiving stolen property, in 2019. According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, “Krasner… believes the policy is making Philadelphia safer in the long term: ‘When you don’t tear apart people’s lives, and when you keep them in contact with the things that keep them on course, they are less likely to commit crimes in the future.'”
How’s that working out for Philly, Larry? As of 11:45 p.m., looting is ongoing in the City of Brotherly Love, and police are struggling to keep up with all the reports.

Honestly, my give-a-shit-ometer is barely registering. And I have many friends and acquaintances who live in or near Center City and in the outlying burbs, along with an abiding affection for that town. At least the town as it was years ago. Sorry to friends and family and others who voted for this as well as that overgrown, slovenly brain-addled sloth loping around the Senate and toking on spliffs in the cloak room, election after election. You got exactly what you voted for so enjoy it, my erstwhile friends. I pray you all wake the hell up and fast. I fear you never will even if you should come face to face with these poor innocent victims of institutional white supremacy. I've got news for you; flashing your BLM t-shirt won't shield you.

Elsewhere, despite the trappings of refinement, decorum and civility, the law of the jungle is still the order of the day:

A far-left, Democrat judge in New York has ruled that he knows more about the value of the business empire of former President Donald Trump than his banks, business partners, accountants, employees, and insurers. Judge Arthur Engoron, a life-long leftist lawyer, ruled Tuesday that Trump and his company deceived people, even though two-page disclaimers were included in financial statements to make clear such valuations were internal estimates. . .
. . . Judge Engoron’s ruling is likely to cause a shockwave across New York in general, with many firms now likely to review how they handle their financial estimates and information if the government alongside the far left judiciary is left in charge of interpreting their finances.
The ruling sets the stage for a non-jury trial beginning on October 2, in which Engoron will decide on remaining claims and any potential punishments. Trump’s lawyers argue there was no evidence of public harm caused by Trump’s actions, and that some of the allegations were even barred by the statute of limitations. The leftist judge refused to throw out the case.

Engoron. Sounds like a cerberus made up of Erdogan, Enron and Gorgon. Emphasis mine, since this will have nothing to do solely with accounting practices but with political inclinations and donations. Farther down the line, this whole thing reeks of the hiring of 80,000 IRS agents which is meant to do the same thing to John Q. Citizen should he or she support any candidate or political/cultural organization that is "counter-revolutionary."

So in Philly, junta-approved (if not directly or indirectly funded) street enforcers go on a rampage in furtherance of an ideological goal that helps said junta keep the citizenry in check/fear with the goal of having them surrender their freedom in return for the promise of security. And here, we have junta-owned/allied pseudo-jurists and prosecutors targeting their chief political enemy – the personification of Nemesis and the closest thing to an existential threat that they have faced in over a century – for destruction because he temporarily halted their plans and to prevent him and others like him from ever rising again.

To paraphrase Sesame Street, "Two of these things are just like each other."

Meanwhile, Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants stumbled down the stairs to join the UAW strikers on the picket line. More than ironic, it's galling considering his, that is his handlers' policies are what caused the historic walkout in the first place.

During his 12-minute visit with UAW members in Wayne County, Michigan, Biden spoke for only 87 seconds and did not mention his EV agenda or even attempt to sell it as a bonus for auto workers. Biden left the strike to jet off to California for a blitz of fundraisers with wealthy donors, some with connections to Hollywood. . .
. . . Last week, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) blasted Biden for his EV mandates, warning that such a rapid transition to green energy will ultimately offshore the U.S. auto industry to China.
“The more the Big Three’s business model relies on global supply chains and non-union labor, the less the UAW can effectively push for higher wages,” Vance wrote in an op-ed. “Their leverage decreases every time a consumer buys a car made without an Ohio worker, and yet the policies of the Biden [junta] are explicitly designed to shift the auto industry offshore.”

12 minutes and only emitting sounds – to call it speaking is a stretch – for 87 whole seconds before stumbling back into the AF-1 cargo hold to head out to the Goldenshowers State for campaign cash.

Joe Biden going to the picket line is the moral equivalent of Jeffrey Dahmer taking a Tupperware container of "leftovers" to the families of his victims. Screw what the UAW leadership thinks because his endorsement is in the bag, but if the rank and file vote for whoever the Democrat nominee will be, they can all strip naked, put on blackface and go to Center City Philly during the looting and sing a rousing chorus of "Dixie."

As an aside, J.D. Vance is yet another lone voice of sanity in the GOP both here and in his comments on the situation in Ukraine, among other things. I have high hopes for him, so don't screw it up J.D.

Anyway, I said, whoever the Democrat nominee will be because Biden for sure cannot last, either medically or politically. And that brings us to the question of his replacement, which raises the ugly specter of you-know-who:

Debate is raging about whether Michelle Obama will step in to save the day for Democrats if both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are yanked from the top of the ticket. Meanwhile, though, Michelle isn’t letting any grass grow under her feet. Instead, she jetted off to Munich to give a single speech, in exchange for which she collected 700,000 euros, which is equivalent to over $740,000. Given how rich the Obamas are, one has to wonder about her price tag…although I have some guesses.
I’m not a Michelle Obama fan. She came from an affluent black Chicago family; got into the Ivy Leagues (probably through affirmative action, given the childishly poor quality of her bachelor’s thesis); obtained jobs for which she was not qualified and that required no work but nevertheless paid her very, very well; and ended up as America’s First Lady for eight years. Along the way, she and her husband amassed at least $70 million, a wealth package that includes three mansions, one in D.C., one in Martha’s Vineyard, and one in Hawaii. . .
. . . Here’s the reason I don’t like her: Despite her wealth and prestige, Michelle Obama is a woman who feels that life has done her wrong. She’s a race hustler who waves her skin color around like an angry flag. If you don’t worship at her feet, it’s not because you dislike her values or her personality. It’s because you’re part of a systemically racist, capitalist, American system that offends her to the core, despite her having benefitted from that same capitalist, American system in a way few people ever have or will.
That anger and greed may explain why Michelle happily accepted over $740,000 for a one-hour “diversity and inclusion” speech to a group of entrepreneurs in Munich. . .
. . . There’s no mention . . . that Michelle intends to give any of that money to charity. Indeed, leftists are remarkably stingy when it comes to charity. They think charity is the taxpayers’ responsibility, not their own.
But there’s more going on here. I’ve long believed that Michelle Obama will end up being the Democrat party candidate for president. Ted Cruz believes that, too. That would be a real threat. Despite her lack of any accomplishments whatsoever and her sulky persona, Michelle Obama is enormously popular on the left. She’s especially popular with the left’s two most fanatic demographics: neurotic white and black women.
If she really is running, then $740,000 in her pocket now is a small price to pay for influence in the White House. As with those huge book deals Democrats always get, these are not market-based price tags for valuable products. They are, instead, legal bribes. And Michelle Obama, despite her $70 million bank account, may be getting ready to run.There’s no mention in the article that Michelle intends to give any of that money to charity.

And Michelle Obama, despite her $70 million bank account, may be getting ready to run.

On the one hand, Andrea Widburg raises some good points about why Obama's beard will run. I would say that if the likely cheat machine can be overcome, that is if those who put it in place fear that that is a growing possibility, who better to protect and preserve the continued planned dismantling/destruction than a close relative of the scumbag who put that plan into high gear in the first place?

On the other hand, and as CBD and I have posited on the latest podcast (up soon in the sidebar), adding to Michelle Obama's innate, preternatural laziness and sloth is the fact that fools are literally lining up like illegal aliens six-deep around the block at the Roosevelt Hotel throwing hundreds of thousands and millions of dollars at her for essentially doing nothing. Does she really want to give that up (no, not the money; that will always flow) just to be the Junta's replacement puppet? Mind you, she has to actually work and appear in front of the cameras every damn day; she can't hide in the basement like Joey. Does she really want that aggravation, even if it's merely kabuki-bukkake theater?

I say she doesn't and so will not run. After all, given the institutionalized fraud in at least half the states and for sure in the key swing states, they can run anyone or anything. Even Fetterman's lump will get 85 million billion votes.

9 Oregon and the FBI have a cute little Catch-22 worked out to deny anyone a gun. Oregon's ballots passed an amendment to require a permit to purchase a firearm. Now, to get the permit you have to do all manner of things including passing a background check. The FBI has declared that since the background check was created via an amendment and not legislative action, it will not perform the background checks. Oregon meanwhile has told the sheriffs that giving permits without the background checks is a crime.

She was pretty clear about how she felt about her time in the White House as First Lady.

Sure, as the first black female POTUS she can amass untold amounts of wealth for herself, but the position does mean she has to *work* for a change.

Even FJB has to go where he's told to go and say what he's told to say. That will be the same arrangement for MO.

42 Despite her wealth and prestige, Michelle Obama is a woman who feels that life has done her wrong. She’s a race hustler who waves her skin color around like an angry flag. If you don’t worship at her feet, it’s not because you dislike her values or her personality. It’s because you’re part of a systemically racist, capitalist, American system that offends her to the core, despite her having benefitted from that same capitalist, American system in a way few people ever have or will.

84 So, every store carrying iPhones has an inventory list. Every shipment of iPhones is tracked from manufacture to delivery to end of sale.

These stolen phone's IMEI number is logged, so once reported stolen, it can't be activated as it's on a list of reported stolen goods and the person attempting to activate it is flagged as possessing stolen goods.

Or are they just not reporting it so they can actually get away with the crime AND benefit from it?

87 As long as crooked politicians and bureaucrats are allowed to rule looters will loot and defenders will be prosecuted.

The method of eliminating the looting is for honest citizens to take matters in hand and make sure there is honest voting so that they may vote the dishonest politicians promoting this corruption of the American way out of office.
That is the civilized way it's done.

No, she doesn't want to give up the adulation and money that comes with everything she does in the media sphere (books, speeches, etc.) in exchange for being back in the "prison" of the WH.

She haaaaaated it there and let us know it. A lot of her trips were covered in the MSM, but she was getting out a lot more than what was reported. For example, per a friend who lived in Vail at the time, Michelle was regularly in Vail with a friend who had a place there. Practically the only thing she enjoyed about being FLOTUS was the various media events - cameos on tv shows, dancing on "Tonight Show" and "Ellen," showing up on Hollywood award shows, etc. She does not want to be in DC where she is criticized every dang day vs. jetting between her mansions and events where she is worshipped uncritically.

126 Sheesh. Philly needs to send in the First Battery Throwers Division to stop the all the looting.

In all honesty, I wonder which city will be the first to reinstitute the time-tested "Shoot to Kill Looters" orders as a method to stop looting and restore order.

You've got to know there are behind the door discussions about it or something like it. Buuuut, they're afraid of the horrible optics.

Horrible optics or lose your city due to crime. It is a quandary.

The reason STK Orders work and have worked in the past, is that the number of looters and potential looters is too big to be handled by conventional law-enforcement methods. And there are no head of criminal gangs to arrest.

It's a simple numbers proposition: the death of dozens will deter the looting of hundreds/thousands.

Think of how the Jan6 arrests put the kibosh on well almost anything regarding activity from the right. A few dozen arrests, millions? suppressed.

I want to say that I am absolutely opposed to the violent solution of STK as it's a judge/jury/executioner dealio, but you know it's being discussed. Or they can abandon the city and Hellooooo, escape from New York, the Reality Series.

Prior to Pew’s decision, Dial had faced charges of murder, voluntary manslaughter, official oppression, and four other counts, all of which were dismissed.

Prosecutors will appeal Judge Pew’s ruling and pursue charges against Dial once more."

156 As Sundance at Conservative Treehouse says it: the DemCommies don't need to run someone who can 'win' in the traditional , arithmetic count of votes manner. They need someone to run for POTUS, ANYone, who keeps the race within the margin of cheat.
Of course what one determines to be an acceptable margin of cheating is debatable.
But Biden's recent polling says he cannot be within that margin so he is going to fall, choke or get the Scalia Pillow(TM) ....or say the "N" word. Whatever. The DemComies are simply and only looking for a poll gap closer. Big Mike certainly would do that.

Exactly.

Even if he thought he had a gun in the car, they could have smoked him out, instead of smoking him. No reason to rush the car and immediately blow him away.

In the early morning on Sunday, Rui Jiang, 35, of Bailey’s Crossroads, posted several threatening messages on his Instagram account. Several of the messages showed an image of Jiang pointing a firearm at pictures of churches. At 7:40 a.m. a community member saw the concerning posts and notified AAPCoD. AACoPD officers determined Jiang resides in Fairfax County and immediately requested a welfare check of his residence.

An unknown Indo-European language was discovered in the UNESCO World Heritage Site Boğazköy-Hattusha in north-central Turkey. The language was found on a clay tablet inside a Hittite ritual text during an excavation in Hattusa, the ancient capital of the Hittite Empire. The language is still largely incomprehensible, but it has been classified as belonging to the family of Anatolian-Indo-European languages.

299 The origin of the name Philadelphia should provide all you need to know. Ptolemaios II married his sister, and was therefore given the name in Ancient Greek, "Philadelphos" which literally translated means "sister lover". In later times in was applied by Eumenes II to an area in Turkey "Philadelpheia" to honor his brother. But the original die had been cast. Nonetheless, that region "Philadelphia" became the sixth of seven churches mentioned and praised by John of Patmos in Revelation 3:7-14. William Penn eventually used that context from John of Patmos to name the U.S. city.

Now you know the story.

304 A 4.2-magnitude earthquake shook Italy’s Campi Flegrei region west of Naples in the early hours Wednesday, scaring residents but causing no injuries or damage, according to the civil protection agency.

The Campi Flegrei (Phlegraean Fields) is a vast volcano, though it is flat rather than cone shaped. While less well-known than nearby Vesuvius, a recent increase in activity has rattled nerves.

The quake struck at 3:35 am (0135 GMT) at a depth of around three kilometres (nearly two miles), and was felt across much of Naples.

“We have to learn to live with this phase. Stay calm and Chive on,” Della Ragione told locals in a social media message.

Half a million people live on the Campi Flegrei, which last spewed lava, ashes and rocks in 1538.

The volcano’s eruption 30,000 years ago is reported to have contributed to the extinction of Neanderthal man.

But Italy’s National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) said earlier this month that it believes the spike in activity could be caused by gas bubbling up, rather than magma, making “the probability of an eruption relatively low.”

Don’t forget the Hunter Biden biopic “Pro Meth, He Is”

Posted by: Bulgaroctonus at September 27, 2023 09:20 AM (xTRSc)

308 The origin of the name Philadelphia should provide all you need to know. Ptolemaios II married his sister, and was therefore given the name in Ancient Greek, "Philadelphos" which literally translated means "sister lover". In later times in was applied by Eumenes II to an area in Turkey "Philadelpheia" to honor his brother. But the original die had been cast. Nonetheless, that region "Philadelphia" became the sixth of seven churches mentioned and praised by John of Patmos in Revelation 3:7-14. William Penn eventually used that context from John of Patmos to name the U.S. city.

Now you know the story.

316 Debate is raging about whether Michelle Obama will step in to save the day for Democrats if both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are yanked from the top of the ticket. Meanwhile, though, Michelle isn’t letting any grass grow under her feet. Instead, she jetted off to Munich to give a single speech, in exchange for which she collected 700,000 euros, which is equivalent to over $740,000. Given how rich the Obamas are, one has to wonder about her price tag…although I have some guesses.

The discovery, which was published on Monday in the scientific journal Nature, may help doctors understand the cause of the condition’s devastating symptoms, including memory issues and chronic fatigue. It also offers scientific evidence that the illness is real, according to David Putrino, a leading researcher in the study.

Subject for another day but he was known as a very benevolent ruler. Eumenes II founded the city for his brother whom he loved in an emotional sense, not sexual. It was to honor him in the tradition of Ptolemaios II. The city and region named by Eumenes II later became very faithful to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, hence the mention by John in Revelation. It was adopted in that sens by William Penn.

Not a writer & lousy at conveying thoughts, ideas & even facts but will try again. The acting Police Chief denies the ransacking of businesses in Philly is connected to an earlier peaceful protest in the city over yesterday's decision to dismiss murder & other charges against a Phila. police officer in the death of Eddie Irizarry. IDK. What I know is the Working Families Party (I'll use WFP) pulled endorsements of those who voted to hold DA Krasner in contempt a year ago. Sen. John Fetterman (PA-D) just backed WFP progressives for Philly Council (as WFP also backed him), rattling the "normal" democrats. WFP, which began in NY decades ago, endorsed Schumer, endorses Warren & now candidates in several states including TX & its Corsicana. That AOC urged voters to support Kathy Hochul & the WFP in NY & an Op-Ed by President Obama on the White House Summit on Working Families appeared in Huffpost June 2014. WFP endorsed JB in 2020. "The Pugnacious, Relentless Progressive Party that wants to Remake America" ('16) is worth a read imo, even as my wealthy state & US Reps & Senators bow to the streets & against the 1st Amend.

388 I'm glad the give-a-shit meter isn't registering much for blue cities. My give-a-shit meter isn't registering for the state of Israel, either, though.
