The Morning Report — 10/31/23

Good morning, kids. Yesterday, I was forwarded a text message from a friend which included a few other friends that was a petition from the ADL (hold your laughter for a few moments) to "Urge the US Department of Education to Make Colleges Safe from Antisemitism." My friends, who I have known for years and still love dearly are blind, lifelong liberals. Mercifully, despite living in an illusory past of Democrat = good and Republican = evil, as well as swallowing the Trump hatred and the usual propaganda hook, line and sinker, they are not completely zombified Maoists.

In all of that time, I have tread very carefully, as mercifully they have, in not broaching the subject of politics. They more or less know where I stand. But that said, I have to wonder if they are approaching a tipping point as it were, or will it take a bit of a gentle nudge in the ribs – which in the interest of being cruel to be kind would be a swift kick in the ass – to wake the hell up and smell the damn coffee, if not the "covfefe." I sense an opportunity to do a bit of good old fashioned 1960s consciousness-raising. The idea is to show them the dots and let them do the connecting.

For sure, the image is a hell of a lot clearer than that. It's in your face and it's ugly:

Democrat infighting over Israel threatened to turn physical Friday, after Rep. Andre Carson (D-IN) repeatedly called Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) “cowardly” in an interview and said, “We can handle it like gentlemen or we can get into something else.”

Carson was responding to a post on X by Gottheimer where he slammed 15 Democrat colleagues who voted against or “present” on a House resolution expressing support for Israel as “despicable.”

Carson’s threat drew criticism from prominent Jewish progressives. Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, posted:

It’s inexcusable for any member of Congress to threaten a colleague, & especially egregious that @RepAndreCarson is threatening a Jewish member for speaking out at a moment when we’re seeing a massive spike in antisemitism. What’s the point? Does he think it’s productive to intimidate @RepJoshG?

Gottheimer later sought to tamp down the tensions, posting that he was thankful for colleagues who did support the bipartisan resolution and that “it’s more important than ever for us to talk to each other”

Andre Carson is an ape in a three-piece, full on Farrakkkan acolyte Jew- and America-hater. This is known. Here's his rap sheet courtesy of Discover the Networks. That he was elected, (or given the nature of Democrat election fraud, installed) at all speaks volumes as to the state of the Democrat Party and sadly the mindset of far too many American blacks, thanks in no small part to the poisonous rot of Jew-hatred they inherited from their Democrat-enslaved ancestors. But that's a whole other story that deserves to be told in depth.

Sorry, Josh Gottheimer, but your and your Jewish Democrat colleagues and constituents' chickens are coming home to roost, as a certain apostate "reverend" we all know too well would say. You stood by and remained silent for years at what your party has done to this nation, and what your colleagues have said and done both privately and out in the open. (Correction: Joe Mannix reminds me that Gottheimer and his ilk were active participants in moving the ball down field, as it were, at least in terms of the destructive policies). Yet for the interest of your own political expediency, you looked the other way. Maybe your calculus was like Franz von Papen in Germany circa 1933, who thought he and his ilk would use Adolf Hitler like a puppet to gain power for themselves. For those who don't know the history, von Papen wound up with what he thought were the marionette strings around his own neck.

Meanwhile, in Nevada, it wasn't Wayne Newton singing "Danke Schoen" but it had a definite Teutonic inflection.

A Nevada man was arrested last week in connection to allegedly issuing ominous and antisemitic threats to a U.S. senator in the wake of Hamas’ bloody terror attack on Israel, according to a criminal complaint.

John Anthony Miller, 43, allegedly began making the calls to the unnamed female senator on Oct. 11, four days after Israel’s war with Hamas began. […] While the senator is not named in the complaint, Sen. Jacky Rosen is Jewish, and Miller’s threats repeatedly seek to tie the lawmaker’s support for Israel to what he says is her Jewish background.

. . . “All these f**g lies is in your fucking hands.. and I’m gonna f**g see you soon,” Miller allegedly warned. “You just f**g woken up a motherf**g monster, you f**g piece of s**, un-human, subhuman, you’re vermin… we’re gonna finish what Hitler started.” . . .

. . . Miller also left a voicemail on October 19 in which he asked if the Jewish lawmaker had Israeli settler relatives. “…450 thousand of ‘em are American and are able to co-commit war crimes and come back and forth. Huh? Yeah, I-I-I pretty sure she is. Pretty sure she is. And she ain’t gon do a damn thing,” Miller allegedly said, per Fox News. “She lets her own family members kill these Pe-Palestinians in the West Bank. The Christians in the West Bank. Senator, I’m sorry to say, but yah know what, you’re a piece of [expletive] and you’re gonna burn in [expletive]ing [expletive] for your [expletive]ing crimes.”

I assume Jacky Rosen will say something like "Oh, now you! You precocious little rapscallion!" or else tell us that this goof is an Ultra-MAGA extremist Republican. Since we have yet to learn this psycho's party affiliation, I can only assume he's a Democrat.

Regardless, it's time for Gottheimer, Rosen and all the rest to get their collective fucking pinhead out of the oven and shut off the gas. Doing a Rodney King impression ain't gonna cut it, sunshine. Carson and all the others have taken over and I've got some news for you. Once he and his ilk truly gain absolute power, the first people they're going to come after are you and every other Jew in the Democrat Party, as well as the now completely Marxist-subsumed ADL.

Gottheimer might be a lost soul and beyond salvation. But perhaps, just maybe, the orgasmic glee with which Carson and all the others in the Squad, or more accurately DEATH Squad are cheering the savage bloodbath in Israel and the baying for blood of Jews over here is finally a wakeup call.

We may now be experiencing a tectonic shift of major magnitude, namely the exodus of Jews from liberalism. The triggering event is the Hamas savagery on Oct 7th in Israel and, of equal importance, the support of many Americans for this barbarism. These two events are a double wakeup call for many American Jews -- who could imagine anybody celebrating the beheading of babies, nor thousands of Americans, often at elite universities, denouncing Israel as an apartheid, genocidal colonial regime?

Anti-Semitism per se is not the issue. Such hostility is part of American life but, thankfully, it usually involve isolated incidents such as defacing synagogues or assaulting Jews dressed in Hasidic garb. The very worst is shooting Jews at prayer, typically by mentally ill loners. . .

. . . One highly-publicized response to events has been the threats of billionaire Jews such as Ronald Lauder and Leslie Wexner to stop funding their alma maters over campus anti-Semitism. Thousands of other Jews have also undoubtedly closed their checkbooks in disgust. But, as I have argued elsewhere, the anti-Israel vitriol will not cease. Billions in donations will be raised elsewhere, and no school can end the hatred of Jews. Nevertheless, these rich Jews are sending a message whose deeper unease is far more consequential than a closed checkbook; eyes are opening.   

Less visible in this tectonic shift is a shocker -- Jews are buying guns. Lots. A recent NBC news story had the headline "'Not Safe Anywhere Now:' American Jews Are Flocking to Gun Training Classes.” Now Jews in cities with large Jewish populations were suddenly inundating gun stores and shooting ranges, all saying, “I never believed I would do this.” The gun-enthusiast website Reload told of a Jewish gun training organization that recently received about 638 calls on its hotline about joining over a five-day period while for the entire past years, the figure was 950. Nor is packing heat limited to cities with large Jewish populations. In West Texas, an area hardly at risk from Hamas, Jews are suddenly arming themselves and practicing their marksmanship.

Those unfamiliar with the political views of Jews may not fully grasp the shift. Guns were not previously on the agenda to combat anti-Semitism. . . Now, buying a gun is not just adding one more item to defending against anti-Semitism; it is an admission that the “old way of thinking” no longer applies. And many Jews will do the once unthinkable: admit this new reality in public. . .

. . . Uncertainties aside, the likely outcome will be Jews moving rightwards.  Almost certainly Jews will lose their enthusiasm for open borders given that millions of new arrivals will likely be Muslims. Jews can see what has happened in Europe as large numbers of Muslims enter European countries -- anti-Jewish violence increases. They can also see this at home as Muslim immigrants gain an electoral foothold in Minnesota and Michigan (see “the Squad )” . . .

. . . The shift away from the Left that began in Israel decades ago may have finally arrived in the U.S. This exodus is particularly likely as the Democratic Party increasingly embraces defunding the police, ending cash bail, hostility to meritocracy, celebrating every sexual proclivity imaginable, a contempt for traditional morality and all else anathema to most Jews. When today’s American Jews look at Israel, they see that, in the final analysis, endless talk and good intentions are insufficient; better to have a gun and know how to use it. And Jews are good learners.

That remains to be seen. Something-something, learn from the past, something-something condemned to repeat it? This is a central theme of the holiday of Passover. It is not merely to remember and commemorate the exodus from our enslavement and persecution in Egypt with the help the Almighty, but to commemorate and remember the fact that "In every generation, they rise up against us."

Of course the closest thing to Judaism for the Josh Gottheimers and Jacky Rosens in this country is a plate of matzah ball soup, a pastrami sandwich and watching Yentl. Or more likely Annie Hall.

I doubt this is about antisemitism. I think it isn't about *anything* at all, really, except the belligerence of powerful but not omnipotent men having a public squabble.

25 the most effective feminists in the world, who have now shown conclusively that they can perform as well as men in that most masculine of undertakings — war fighting...

Lt.-Col Or Ben-Yehuda, the commander of this unit, now recounts her experience in the southern Gaz Strip, where her battalion eliminated approximately 100 terrorists. She also has a clear message for those who question the capabilities of female fighers in the Caracal (Desert Lynx) and Tank Battalion..

How humiliating it must be for Hamas that one hundred of its operatives were defeated so decisively, and “neutralized” (i.e., killed) by the female soldiers of the IDF’s Caracal Battalion..

Am I reading the article wrong, or were they in tanks?

Because it's still good what they accomplished, but I'm not sure "women require an entire battalion of tanks to defeat 100 men" is the best approach to this propaganda effort.

++++
Perhaps. I am not optimistic. A quarter - maybe a third - of people will go along with it regardless, even if they find it distasteful. After all, their tribe is doing it and they mustn't fail to conform with the tribe and its chiefs. That's the floor. At *least* a quarter of the people in this country would join Einsatzgruppen if the nice man on TV told them to.

Another quarter can probably be cowed into non-intervention through direct threat and a couple of corpses to act as an object lesson about the risks of not staying out of the way.

I do not know that there *will* be a genuine pogrom in this country, but I have little confidence in recent events and the Party leadership's open blood lust causing enough of a change to popularly prevent one.

Tell me you've never been out of a city without telling me you've never been out of a city.

A couple of things here. Rural Jews exist, and - like far more rural people than urban peoples - they are armed. I grew up a rural Jew. Plenty of my congregation had guns. Plenty didn't, of course, but it wasn't unusual either way. And guns weren't - as far as I know, but I never interrogated the congregation (and if I had, they'd have rightly told me to go screw) - specifically seen as a weapon against antisemitism, but as what they are: weapons, period.

I remember telling my wife, after I first became aware of AOC and heard her speak…. I told my wife AOC reminded me of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. One of my brothers married a Cambodian girl whose parents miraculously survived the killing fields. AOC had that stink all over her as far as I was concerned…. “They want us dead” is not just political rhetoric.

I'm not worried about the Chinese seeping through the southern border. Most of them are running from the CCP. Some of them are surely agents, but it's not a great or useful strategy for the CCP, when the CCP has an express lane into America's top universities, corporations and government offices. This country is riddled with CCP spies, and they don't have to slink over the border to get here because they're welcomed with open arms and grasping hands.

It's the forward operators for outfits like ISIS and {insert generic Muslim "terror" group name here} and the like that worry me on that front.

I doubt any Yemeni is firing those missiles. The stuff is there in Yemen, but I have said before and I still believe that not even the Iranians are reckless enough to hand that kind of firepower over to the Yemeni warlords without strings attached. The odds of something going wrong just through the reckless retardation of Yemenis - and possibly triggering a regional war as a result - are too great.

This stuff is in Yemen (in the original mission, anyway) to hit Iran's regional rival: Saudi Arabia. The mission has now been amended, but I doubt the conditions on the ground have been.

My bet has been (and remains) that these long-range, high-power systems that have been targeting Israel and American assets have Iranian, not Yemeni fingers on the buttons.

He's still a Senator, and Republican voters gave them back the House.

The litany of Democrat excesses speaks for itself - everywhere they rule, they've deliberately destroyed. For many decades now. No change in their voters' loyalties resulted from that.

Just because the priests excoriate, loot and kill their flocks, doesn't mean they can just fail to show up on Tuesday and fill the collection plates when they're passed. That would be anathema, and Jews are not different from the rest of the sheep being shorn.

US automakers are pricing their vehicles out of affordability as it is, they are not going to eat these new labor costs so they are going to simply raise the prices of their vehicles to pass it onto the consumer, who, with 10-12 pct APR auto loans, will not be able to afford these absurdly priced vehicles, which will mean substantial job cuts down the road.

By IQ, anyway, they are one of the stupidest countries in the world. Yemen is an example of what happens when two forces take hold in totality and at the same time:
1. A brain drain
2. Cousin marriage

When Yemen started going to hell, everyone smart left. This happened to at least some degree throughout the Arab world from the 60s until about 1980, but it hit Yemen particularly hard. Anyone with a spare brain cell got the hell out. Add into that a doubling down on cousin marriage to protect family property and you get a collapse in average intelligence within 40-50 years.

In my little corner of the world, levels of incompetence have been going up up up…. I’d assume if other industries are like mine, younger workers are not as knowledgeable or competent as those on the brink of retirement.

No ID is required to fly. The TSA says it is, but that is not a law - it's convention. You can test if you want. You will likely be arrested and miss your flight, but you will eventually be cleared of it because they never actually had the right to deny you.

But your point remains true in practice. The conventions on ID have the force of law at the point of the transaction because they say they do. They will ruthless enforce that non-law against you.

But when the "undocumented migrant" comes along, they suddenly remember that they're not allowed to stop him from getting on a plane.

130 US automakers are pricing their vehicles out of affordability as it is, they are not going to eat these new labor costs so they are going to simply raise the prices of their vehicles to pass it onto the consumer, who, with 10-12 pct APR auto loans, will not be able to afford these absurdly priced vehicles, which will mean substantial job cuts down the road.

Former National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci oversaw the NIH's Rocky Mountain Laboratories in Montana when it did the research with bats from Maryland's Catoctin Wildlife Preserve, whose Director of Animal Health Laurie Hahn is a former NIH "lead veterinary technician" for animal research."

The Viruses paper, authored by Montana lab researchers and Wuhan Institute of Virology collaborator Ralph Baric, of the University of North Carolina, determined that the "SARS-like WIV1-coronavirus" ..."

133 Iran has been funneling arms and supplies to the Houthi Rebels in Yemen for several years. The Houthi's have a real hard-on for the Saudis and have in the past attacked their refinery infrastructure with some success.

If you read the official global climate change propaganda reports from NOAA and the EU's Copernicus Agency, they are filled with nouns and adjectives intended to scare the idiots. Anomaly, anomalous, extreme, catastrophic, dangerous, life-threatening, historic...and, you get the picture.

Anomaly is my dis-favorite. Those two outfits call any 'official' temperature that is higher or lower than the average temp for a given period an anomaly. So if the average temp for one year is any higher or lower than the average temp for a past period of 5, 10, 50, or however many years, it is labeled a temperature anomaly. This is insanity.

I doubt Israel is interested in the Yemeni-Saudi war much at all. The Yemen is the KSA's problem. They probably keep a breast of what's going on the neighborhood, but I doubt they were particularly interested except for where it intersects with Israeli's defense.

“I would argue at least 50% of the market is almost completely priced out of being able to buy the way that they traditionally would,” Jonathan Smoke said on the “CarDealershipGuy” podcast. “When you look at what the household distribution of incomes is in the U.S., about half can only afford about a $400 payment. And it is really difficult to produce a $400 payment in either the new or the used market today because of the combination of vehicle prices and interest rates.”

He told me that one day, they drove through this long dusty valley, no vegetation, no water, no life of any kind. Desolate. They stopped for a short break at a high point at the end of the valley, looked back and suddenly there were several armed men standing back where they'd just been. He asked one of the government guards where these guys came from , and he just said "oh they bury themselves in the sand and wait for someone to drive by. It's what they do."

That plus the cities forming and the organized supply chain theft at the warehouse/truck level (Nike is losing $1M/day apparently), and there's no way to remedy it except via military action. And that won't happen because that would be open war on our soil.

Well, let's see.

Auto loan interest rates range from about 5% to about 9% for prime loans, 12% to about 14% for subprime. Add a few points if it's a used car.

A $55k car, fully financed at 8% for 72 months, comes out to about $965 per month. A $45k car at the same rate for 60 months is about $912 per month. At 12%, it comes out to right around $1k for the cheaper car for 5 years, or about $900 for the more expensive car for 8 years.

I don't know that this is "most" car loans, but the condition is fairly easy to achieve. And it will cost you just five figures in interest over the life of the loan!

226 We all know Halloween is today - it's connected with All Saints Day (November 1st) and All Souls Day (November 2nd). These three days are the “Days of the Dead,” a triduum also known as Allhallowtide or Hallowmas, reminding the faithful of the reality of heaven and hell; the communion of saints; and our obligation to pray for the Holy Souls in Purgatory.

My Mom and by extension, her children, always had some issues with Halloween. She taught it was nothing to be celebrated but rather, a small taste of hell's promise.

Source: CBS The House GOP released a $14.3 billion standalone measure on Monday that would pay for aid to Israel by cutting the same amount in funding that was allocated to the IRS under the Inflation Reduction Act, one of President Biden's signature pieces of legislation.

"We're going to have pays-for in [the bill]," House Speaker Mike Johnson told Fox News on Monday. "We're not just going to print money and send it overseas."

No Deal. Tell the Little Dictator to shove it!

14.3 Billion for what? Does Israel have to reveal their end game as is being suggested for Ukrainian aid? Cuts to the IRS that are badly needed to update our system of collecting funds is their favorite thing these days.

No. Repeal the insurrectionist trump tax breaks. I really wish that as bad as McCarthy was, the Democrats should have saved his ass. This speaker is much worse. It will probably get agreed to as long as Ukraine funding is also included.

266 Interestingly, according to one site I'm looking at, the average price of a *subcompact* car - these are vehicles like the Mitsubishi Mirage or the Kia Rio - are around a $23k mean transaction price. Unreal.

Six years ago, that was the real (though not MSRP, which was a bit higher) price of a mid-line Hyundai Sonata, a big and fairly nice car.

I'd take it a step further and say that Joe is *creating* problems/crises so that he can justify his policies.

For example, he wants a war with Russia, so he hinders peace talks between Ukraine and Russia, keeps getting us involved and posing a direct threat to Russia (more weapons and tech, more advisors, etc.) in hopes we get drawn in.

He is creating an energy crisis by hindering natural gas extraction and eliminating natural gas-powered appliances, using govt. to pressure automakers into more EVs, etc.. The energy grids are going to fail, this will all collapse badly.

289 We may now be experiencing a tectonic shift of major magnitude, namely the exodus of Jews from liberalism.

I very much doubt this.

Leftist secular Jews have a core identity built around being leftist.

Muslims murdering a bunch of Israelis isn't going to change that because they don't see Israelis as their people...just like they don't see red state countrymen as their people either.

Now the one potential caveat in all this is if Muslim terrorism targeting Jews increases in the US. Leftist conversion can happen to individuals that suffer serious personal negative impacts from their world view. BUT...only for the individual harmed. His "friends" will claim to each other they always knew the victim was kind of racist...

A standard, long term Dem talking point has been that America helping one side in a military conflict stops them from moving to a peaceful conclusion - from Vietnam on this was something you could hear leftists claim.

This is obviously the case in Ukraine - if America stopped paying for the war peace would likely be negotiated immediately with the Russian-favoring/occupied provinces joining Russia or some Russian controlled puppet state.

I don't see the problem.

Gaza wouldn't be the problem. Israel keeps Gaza and ejects the Pals. The people from Gaza would be Egypt's problem.

In part: "Still, Biden in recent days has been raising the issue in his conversations with fellow leaders. Biden and Egyptian President ... during a Sunday phone call discussed setting the conditions “for a durable and sustainable peace in the Middle East to include the establishment of a Palestinian state,” according to the White House.

How could it ever work, especially for the Jews, when there are also such articles as, Nightmare Wedding: Over 100 Christians Burned Alive, Iraqi Gov. Says 'Accidental', also linked above?

The AP article ends: Biden was expected to face a tight 2024 race in the state even before the war. He won Michigan by less than 3 percentage points in 2020, and Republican Donald Trump beat Democrat Hillary Clinton in the state by 0.3% in 2016. More than 300,000 people of Middle Eastern or North African ancestry live in Michigan.

“Even if he’s hurt to the tune of a few points, he’s already got a very close race,” ...

He wants to be a dictator, he's just not up to the job, but the puppet masters pulling his strings, yeah they're dangerous.

329 Saw my first Ford Lighting truck parked at the town hall in the parking lot in the back. It was charging on an employee only charger. Which means tax payer supported charger for gov. only employees. EV's are sure grand, says the employee.

50%-75% of EV purchases are government and corporations.

I don't know why you'd want to get rid of a perfectly good car at 200,000.

368,000 miles on my 06 Mustang GT. Oil/filter change every 3000 miles, 5W20 Motorcraft blend and Motorcraft filter. Bought it new in '06, Cash. Dealer was not happy.

339 How hard would it be to short circuit an EV charger?

When I pulled up next to the Ford truck I did think about just walking over and pulling the cable out of the truck. But I'd bet the town has camera's back there. It was a town pickup, and I'd bet the state (NY) is giving the town a great deal. Kathy Hochul wants all governments to go EV.

Speaking of Egypt, what's going on with Bob, Nadine and pals? The Guardian, Thurs, 5 Oct 2023: Menendez’s alleged sharing of information with Egypt risked lives of US embassy staff, ex-US official says
Former diplomat said senator’s allegedly corrupt actions could have put embassy staff in the sights of Egyptian intelligence

And the halal meat import contract. How does a N.J. company, reportedly run by a Christian Egyptian, get the monopoly on halal meat certification for imports to Egypt?? .
----------
BTW, I never realized halal foods including meat, chicken and seafood are now so readily available in major markets, chain restaurants, universities, etc. (I'm in the process of reading about Halal and its importance to the meat industry.)

343 Mark Hemingway's article on Mitt Romney in the Federalist demonstrates the validity of my advice to my children: I told them to read the last paragraphs of any newspaper article first, because that's where the good stuff gets hidden.

Now, Hemingway wasn't trying to hide anything, but he left the punchline to the very last word! That last word is "Asshole"!

345 Yes, Jews are buying guns. People in my town, inundated with "homeless" people who are really sex offenders and drug addicts are buying guns too. They say the same thing as the Jews: I never thought I would be doing this.

346 Re: Shani Louk
If you look carefully at the video of her in the pickup truck, it appears she has a hole in the back of her head, near the bottom of her hairline, just off to the right side of her head. Looks like some blood had soaked in there too.
Who knows the horrors she faced before she died.
They are truly worse that animals, and abide by no human decency in pursuit of their death cult. They need to be treated accordingly.

347 I'm sliding towards despair that the modern urban American Jew is capable of learning ANYthing, having spent too much of their lives frantically blending in with the same social circles that are now cheering the destruction of the Jews.

I've loaded your blog in 3 different web browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot quicker then most.
Can you suggest a good web hosting provider at a reasonable
price? Many thanks, I appreciate it!

351 "Almost certainly Jews will lose their enthusiasm for open borders given that millions of new arrivals will likely be Muslims."

But they were fine with open borders when this policy was letting millions of hispanics and asians flood in. Only now, that they face personal risk from Muslims, do they suddenly care.

Well fuck you very much.

353 The Passover is a prefigurement of the coming of the True Passover Lamb, the Lamb of God. It has nothing to do with 'they rise up against us in each generation'. It is about Jesus Christ's sacrifice on the Cross, the blood sacrifice covering us, so that the angel of death, aka God's wrath, will pass us by.

Good grief.

354 First of all I would like to say fantastic blog! I had a quick question which I'd like to ask if you do not
mind. I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your mind before writing.
I have had difficulty clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts
out there. I do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally
lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions
or hints? Many thanks!
