The Morning Report

The Morning Report — 11/3/23

Good morning, kids. So yesterday I went off on the feckless idiots from the GOP that shot down the motion to censure Rashida "Rancida Taliban" Tlaib for her horrendous remarks in support of the worst mass slaying of Jews since the Second World War. Aside from the toxic bilge that flooded out of her filthy sewer, she either led or was highly visible in a loud, raucous and wholly unauthorized (seemingly) anti-Israel and pro-Hamas "protest" inside the Capitol.

Against that backdrop, there was also a vote in the House to remove GOP Rep George Santos from office for the crime of embellishing his résumé in order to get elected, among other things. This, in and of itself, is a joke compared to the half-century-plus career of lies and criminality of just Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants alone. Seriously, if one were to scratch the surface of virtually any Democrat in public office right now, and probably more than a handful of RINOs to be fair, some form of corruption, perversion or other variety of sleazy moral turpitude is bound to ooze out.

Be that as it may, surprisingly that vote failed since the loudest calls for his removal came from – surprise! – within his own party. So, some have suggested it was a quid pro quo between parties. Even if that were the case of this being a horse trade (whores trade) to leave Santos alone in exchange for Rancida not being censured, to me it's still a propaganda win for the Left no matter how you slice it.

"See, the GOP wants liars in their midst!" along with "Even the GOP recognizes Rashida has a right to her opinion, which is not hateful!" That last bit is almost exactly what Thom Massie belched up:

“Free speech isn’t just about protecting the speech that you like, it’s especially about protecting the speech you don’t like,” Massie told “Jesse Watters Primetime guest host Rachel Campos-Duffy. “I think the protest was an expression of speech. Now, the other reason that I voted against this resolution, the language was modeled after a resolution that I voted against two years ago that calls the January 6th protesters insurrectionists. It’s wrong to call the January 6th protesters insurrectionists and I think it’s wrong to call the people that were with Rashida Tlaib insurrectionists. So, those were my two reasons for voting against it.”

Is this schmuck for real? He's trying to be clever by less than half in terms of attempting rhetorical jiu-jitsu with the concept of "insurrection." J6 was not an insurrection; it was an FBI-led entrapment sting. What Rancida did was a nod-and-a-wink approved stunt to showboat for the media. The fact that her confederates shrieked the most vile Jew-hatred is gasoline on the fire. Forgetting free speech and the First Amendment, what she either led, organized or otherwise openly participated in has got to be a gross violation of the rules of the House and decorum that no doubt are at a minimum demanding of censure if not expulsion from Congress.

Meh, what the hell does it all mean anyway? I just wasted about 500 words in pulling what's left of my hair out over kabuki-bukkake theatrics and useless handwringing, preening and posturing from a politician and a party that's play-acting for or to the amusement of a Junta that's laughing in our face. That is after they've put their fist in it. Literally.

At Tulane University, Dylan Mann, a Jewish student, took part in a pro-Israeli rally on October 27. A group of pro-Hamas demonstrators looking for trouble arrived in a pickup truck — it has still not been made public if they were students or not — and tried to start a violent confrontation by setting fire to an Israeli flag. The flag was one that either they had brought themselves for that very purpose, or had ripped from the shoulders of a student taking part in the pro-Israel rally. Mann tried to stop them; he was then attacked by two of the pro-Hamas bullyboys, who punched him repeatedly. One smashed a megaphone into Mann’s face, breaking his nose. This level of violence is new on campus. We have already seen around the country demonstrations, including many at universities, by anti-Israel pro-Hamas groups that now routinely include a call for Israel’s disappearance — “From the river to the sea/Palestine will be free” means only one thing, that the single Jewish state should disappear altogether, to be replaced by a twenty-third Arab one.

Meanwhile, in another part of the Tulane campus . . .

The New Orleans-based Tulane Students for Palestine, which the university does not recognize as an official student group, on Wednesday took to Instagram to defend its use of the slogan, "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free," which calls for the Jewish state's annihilation. That slogan, the group said, is merely a call for a state in which "all people, including Jews, could live as equals." The group also dismissed the threat of Palestinian terrorism, arguing that "white supremacy" is a larger threat to the Jewish people than what it called "the struggle for Palestinian liberation."
"What we have seen for far too long is that it is Israel and the fantasy of Zionism that results in the expulsion and mass killing of Palestinians, not the other way around," the video says. "The biggest threat to us as Jews is and has always been white supremacy, not the struggle for Palestinian liberation and self-determination. You are hurting Jews and Palestinians when you conflate the freedom struggle with white supremacy."

Ah yes, nothing like beignets and Bolshie brainwashing to make the Yidlets in the Big Easy strut and preen right into the gas chamber all by themselves while one of their own gets his face pushed in by a real "victim." With Jews like these, Hamas could spare themselves the trouble and play a little basketball. And it doesn't even have to be of the Aztec variety either. "Look, ma. No hands! And no heads either!"

At this rate, Armageddon can't come fast enough for me.

Are we entering a period of institutional, social and technological discontinuity where the old progressive saws no longer apply? “This may be the most dangerous time the world has seen in decades,” JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon said in a statement that accompanied the bank’s recent earnings release.

The United States is facing its fourth major inflection point in history since the early 20th century, and if world leaders get it wrong, the results could be similar to what occurred during the 1930s and ultimately led to World War II. That’s according to Frederick Kempe, CEO of foreign policy think tank Atlantic Council, and it is a fear he says more CEOs of major corporations are focused on today.

Every political scientist knows the theory that the US goes through a crisis roughly every 80 years or at least periodically. The year 1776 plus "fourscore and seven years" takes us to the civil war. Eighteen sixty plus 80 takes us to WW2. WW2 plus 80 bring us to today, the current crisis. There is nothing magic about this number; nor does it apply only to America. It's just that for some reason that is where its effects are most pronounced. It's three generations, the span of living memory. Institutions, culture and technological assumptions go out of scope.
If we are living through an inflection point, the likelihood the world is about to enter a discontinuity is high and we know relatively nothing about how it will turn out because our expectations are no longer a reliable guide. It is a maximum entropy moment until we "find" which way it is going to break, toward what attractor, what things now work. A word about maximum entropy. It describes being in a new situation when you know nothing else about a situation than the possible outcomes, defined as 1/N for all possible N.
If faced with a new die, the odds of any outcome without experience is 1/6 because the cube has 6 faces. As you get experience the actual bias of the die becomes evident. One die face may be loaded a little. The Bayesian gives you a progressively better estimate of the true distribution; you get comfortable, in control. You start to imagine you can completely predict things. But then one day God gives you a new die -- and you are back to maximum entropy. A final note. You can never actually enumerate all N, because there are some possible outcomes of which we are ignorant. That is sometimes called the "unknown unknown". We are never completely in control. But some people think so. Klaus Schwab or the Davos crowd come to mind. People who grew old thinking they understood it all are astonished to find nothing the same as it was.
The truth is you can't control the wave, though you can sometimes surf it. In trying to cope the most important attributes are flexibility, information reliability, reaction time and the availability of reserve energy. To paraphrase Wellington: nobody knows what's on "the other side of the hill". But something is climbing it. We can hear its heavy footsteps and have to be ready for it.

Isn't that a cheery thought? But that said, maybe there are lights that shine in the darkness.

As violence and hatred toward Jews continues to worsen amid the Middle East war sparked by Hamas’ terrorist attack on an Israeli music festival, one Muslim group is denouncing antisemitism in all its forms and sending a message to their Jewish “brethren.”
“We Muslims have one word for Jews. Shalom,” reads the headline of the message pinned to the top of the social media page of Muslims Against Antisemitism (@MAA_UK on X/Twitter). Posted on Saturday, the message that follows is a reprint of a statement tweeted by MAA when it was formed back in 2018.
When Hamas attacked Israel last month on October 7, the Muslim group immediately began condemning both the attack and those who take joy in it (emphasis added):

“Let’s be very clear. Celebrating the brutal murder of Jews (or Palestinians), is NO cause for celebration. Today, many people have lost their precious lives. Celebrating in cars at this time is horrible & shows utter contempt and antisemitism towards all Jews.”
…. “Please watch out for each other at this time. Antisemitism must not be tolerated in communities because of what is taking place in the Middle East. Jews in the U.K. cannot and must not be targeted by those who carry the poison of antisemitism within them.”
In other posts, MAA explains to Muslims that, if Jews feel safe, Muslims will be safe, as well, and that “You can cherish Palestinians, without hating Jews.” . . ."Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity" is the English translation of the Bible quote.

Considering the most we have heard from the so-called "moderate Muslim world" has been crickets at best, this is a life preserver in an ocean full of megalodon. Or is it? Is it just another taqqiya sunrise?

Hope against hope that it's the former.

Have a good weekend.

12 The company has been using the website to distribute misleading and oftentimes incomprehensible garbage to hundreds of millions of readers per month.

As CNN now reports, that’s likely in large part due to MSN’s decision to lay off most of the human editors at MSN over the years. In the wake of that culling, the company has redirected its efforts toward AI, culminating in a $10 billion stake in ChatGPT maker OpenAI earlier this year.

31 Be that as it may, surprisingly that vote failed since the loudest calls for his removal came from – surprise! – within his own party. So, some have suggested it was a quid pro quo between parties. Even if that were the case of this being a horse trade (whores trade) to leave Santos alone in exchange for Rancida not being censured, to me it's still a propaganda win for the Left no matter how you slice it.

I have serious doubts about a quid pro quo. Not that it's outside the realm of possibility, but that it isn't necessary. Backing up the worst of the "other party" while taking one on the chin in the name of "discipline" or "not who we are" or somesuch is pretty much just SOP.

38 Good morning, kids. So yesterday I went off on the feckless idiots from the GOP that shot down the motion to censure Rashida "Rancida Taliban" Tlaib for her horrendous remarks in support of the worst mass slaying of Jews since the Second World War.

I'm actually fond of the moniker "Rancid Tilapia" that someone here came up with.

No, it isn't. University leftists aren't peaceful. They never have been. They're more violent, on average, than non-university leftists. This isn't remotely surprising, given who controls the universities and who are seen as unwelcome interlopers.

48 What infuriates me is how the Republicans put more effort into sabotaging their own members than they do in combating the left in the political arena. Obviously they're all in it together, but the Democrats are in almost complete lockstep when it comes to attacking the GOP.

The contrast between Rancida and Santos is striking. And then there's the purported "attack" on Tuberville by McConnell and his supporters.

Honestly, the GOP spends more time in a circular firing squad than they do actually putting up a firewall against the left. I get it... it's who they are, but geeze we need to purge this bunch or find an alternative.

I've caught him in the past supporting bills that Pelosi loved. I want him primaried.

He's another cowboy hat wearing conservative that fell in love with Washington and obviously despises his constituents. It's disheartening when we send these people to DC and they get drunk and pregnant on our dime.

51 The United States is facing its fourth major inflection point in history since the early 20th century, and if world leaders get it wrong, the results could be similar to what occurred during the 1930s and ultimately led to World War II. ...
++++
There is a certain irony here, not that it is anything more than darkly amusing.

People like Dimon are very interested in avoiding a general conflagration. "War is good for business" is true only if one (or preferably both) are true: the war is not existential, or that you win. The way the world may well go at this point makes *both* conditions more of a gamble than anyone wants.

"Think tanks" like the Atlantic Council are in a similar position. What they want is simply a version of the Postwar order where they're in control. For all their globalist bloviating and grand schemes, they want orderly tyranny where they're in charge and get the skim - they and their pals in the new regional powers.

And these folks have destabilized everything in the name of stability on their terms, and are losing control.

True enough, but meaningless (at least with regard to this country).

This country is an old, sclerotic, inefficient, corrupt and lumbering giant. It has precisely none of those attributes. It cannot move quickly, if it can move at all and everyone lies about everything - so even if we could move, we have no way to determine which direction. It's possible that we could head the right way - eventually - thanks to dumb luck, but we can't do it by design. You can't design around a lie.

Someone will "ride the wave." Someone always does, through a combination of skill and luck. That someone is just unlikely to be us. We had a hell of a run - we rode at least four waves in succession.

Also, a cohesive culture and a language are necessary to create and maintain a nation.

That whole thing is a farce. Not one person is mad at Tuberville because of defense reasons. Virtually no one - and possibly it is *literally* no one - in the Senate knows who any of these promotions are, or if they're important, or if they're good.

The Senate isn't even upset at Tuberville because he's taking a pro-life position. That is none to popular in the halls of Congress (except as deliberate theater to win or spike elections - like what Graham did) either, but they don't really care.

What has upset the Senate is that as a consequence of Tuberville's stand, they have to work and they have to go on the record. Honest work and accountability are the two most-hated things in either house of Congress, and both are to be avoided at all costs. Tuberville is making them do their jobs instead of having fun banging pages and stealing, and he is making them go on the record to do it.

I'm surprised they haven't had him whacked.

"The principle of maximum entropy states that the probability distribution which best represents the current state of knowledge about a system is the one with largest entropy, in the context of precisely stated prior data (such as a proposition that expresses testable information).

Another way of stating this: Take precisely stated prior data or testable information about a probability distribution function. Consider the set of all trial probability distributions that would encode the prior data. According to this principle, the distribution with maximal information entropy is the best choice."

144 Arin, the widow of hero Lt. Col. Salman Habaka, 33, who saved civilians in the battle for Kibbutz Be'eri and fell Thursday while fighting Hamas in Gaza, has asked that as many Jews as possible attend her husband's funeral.

Habaka is a Druze Israeli, and he is the highest-ranking officer to be killed since the beginning of the IDF's ground operation. Commander of 188th Armored Brigade's 53rd Battalion, Habaka was from Yanuh-Jat and the father of a two-year-old son.

Ahead of his funeral, Arin asked that as many Jews as possible, especially from northern Israel, come to pay last respects.

In her request, Arin wrote that her husband had always lived alongside the Jews and fought with them. Therefore, she said it was important to the entire family that the funeral be held before the start of the Jewish Sabbath at sunset on Friday, so that Jews would be able to say an appropriate farewell.

Habaka's funeral will be held on Friday afternoon at 3:30p.m., at the Kapisha-Yanuh cemetery. Prior to that, the coffin will be placed in Beit Ha'am in Yanuh, at 2:30p.m.

158 The United States is facing its fourth major inflection point in history since the early 20th century, and if world leaders get it wrong, the results could be similar to what occurred during the 1930s and ultimately led to World War II.

Considering all the "Biden is the greatest president we've ever had (fuck you, Obama, I guess)," and "he's the seasoned leader we need for these times. It's historical destiny," nonsense I see over at DU, THEY'RE certainly deluded enough to be comforted.

I guess it's a built in excuse, too..."all these world problems didn't arise BECAUSE Biden and his administration are incompetent, globally disrespected buffoons....it's an historical cycle, man...it's like Science!" (that we love and worship sexually).

I have described how I think it works. Washington (at least - though it's probably most politicians above dog catcher) is a mutual blackmail society. You *will* do the crimes, and others will know about it. You will know about the crimes of others. Nobody can expose anyone without going also going down themselves (at least - it might blow up everything). The higher you go, the worse crimes will be. It starts as "you will take the bribe" and ends up, if you get high enough, "you will fuck the kid and you will murder the woman." The higher you are, the dirtier the dirt needs to be, and nobody is allowed in without paying the entrance fee and joining the blackmail system.

It's also why they're so evil. Eventually, committing the crimes gets to be easy, then enjoyable, then a pathological need.

The more we learn about the 40 agents being embedded with the Biden family and reporting their crimes to HQ over the last 15 years the more I'm starting to understand that "fundamental transformation" likely involved Obama putting friendlies in place and working with the people in control of the intelligence communities towards this ultimate goal.

It's how authoritarian regimes always work. The political parties and secret police merge. We didn't see it happen at the time but it clearly did, and Obama's group has been running things since 2008. It's why Trump was under constant attack and his orders denied at all levels even though he was the sitting POTUS.

Someone else (a group of someones more likely) are in charge.

I quibble a bit on the ordering, but yes. I think the emergence of "security police" and the like as a consequence rather than the purpose of a different merger that happens when the Party takes over the State and they become one and the same (like in the USSR, Venezuela, Red China, South Africa, here, etc.). The secret police/security police/etc. emerges out of that merger due to the new State/Party Complex's need to ensure rigorous conformity within the ranks and ruthless support of whoever Dear Leader happens to be at the time.

Regardless of order of operations, the phenomenon remains the same.

Fast forward a few months and we had what was basically a prom for the college - so everyone got dressed up and we went to a venue. And this beautiful woman I hadn't seen before in a nice dress with well done hair and makeup got on our bus.

And then...she spoke to someone and...it was that woman from the first paragraph.

Turns out her mother had picked out the dress and sent her to some fancy spa place to get all dolled up. And my takeaway was just how much women can change their looks if they want.

Weird. My dad was color blind. To enlist in the Marine Corps in early 42 he memorized the color blindness book and was accepted in Richmond after being rejected in Raleigh. The oddest part is he borrowed the color blindness book from my mother's brother whom he attended college with. He didn't meet my mother until after the war.

Multiple girls started asking questions, and finally, on Oct. 20, one boy revealed what all the whispering was about: At least one student had used girls’ photos found online to create the fake nudes and then shared them with other boys in group chats, per the Journal.

Yes. It's been a thing with celebrities for a little while now and the tools are easier to use than ever, so it is not surprising that it is moving down-market and more people are getting involved in it.

One consequence of AI this will be - fairly soon, as capability improves - a further erosion of trust. Seeing will no longer be believing, unless you are a direct witness. Old-school stuff like staged shots of war zones will pale in comparison to completely synthetic and specifically-targeted false images.

When the next spoiler candidate surfaces and then incriminating pictures leak of him, will they be real? What about about when pictures of *you* show up on your boss's desk when you're up for promotion and your rival wants that spot?

Which is why Hezbollah has been - and remains - a question mark. They're in the process of taking over Lebanon. Nobody really talks about what's happening in Lebanon since the Syrian crisis as being a "civil war," but that's essentially what it is. Hezbollah is working to take over the country, like ISIS has been trying to do in Syria.

Hezbollah joining the fray in Israel - its historical mission - would seriously interfere with and perhaps collapse their ongoing efforts to fully take over Lebanon. It controls the south, but not the whole shebang yet.

Does Hezbollah see more benefit to fully engaging with Israel, or to continuing their civil war in Lebanon? I dunno. I suspect we'll find out, though.

I have no idea how this will all play out. Trump’s attorney (one of them) just the other day made a statement like “don’t worry, be happy, this is all gonna work out fine, we’re 100% confident”… all the cases are total BS. But on the other hand, the lunatics are not letting up. Something has to give…. And if Trump actually goes to jail, I think the reaction of the general populace is totally unpredictable. Will there be millions in the streets and general strikes everywhere? Or will people just go about their business and seethe? I’d bet on the latter but it’s one of those inflection points we were talking about earlier…

354 They've tried to get AI to feed itself. It gets stupider and stupider. A form of entropy, I guess.

There is no way to effectively check error propagation. So as the output converges (becomes more similar in run after run), errors will also propagate and you get increasingly similar gibberish.

Error propagation over multiple generations of AI output is a problem.

357 Re: the Salon article - isn't Brian Karem the "reporter" who was heckling Sebastian Gorka during a presser on the WH lawn? As I recall, Gorka walked down, got in his face, and basically threatened to beat his ass right there in front of everybody.

360 Minutes ago, as reported by CNN,

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken called it "striking" and "shocking" that the brutality of the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel "has receded so quickly in the memories of so many" during a news conference in Tel Aviv on Friday.

Blinken said today he viewed additional images and footage from the attack collected by the Israeli government.

“It remains almost beyond the human capacity to process, to digest,” he said.

Blinken, who appeared visibly shaken, described an example of additional video Israeli officials showed him today of the Hamas attack. (Pl read; not included here.)

“Hamas doesn't care one second or one iota for the welfare, for the well-being of the Palestinian people,” said Blinken. “It cynically and monstrously uses them as human shields, putting his commanders in command posts, its weapons and ammunition, within or beneath residential buildings, schools, mosques, hospitals.”

Blinken said that the US is still pressing Israel to minimize civilian casualties.

364 National Archives Withholding 99.98% of Pages of Joe Biden’s Alias Emails

Then call them to Congress to testify and hold them in contempt when they don't. Go through EVERY member of the National Archives staff. Put them in jail for contempt.

I seem to remember the Dems saying, "NOBODY is above the law!" concerning Trump; let it be so, then.

365 Y'all can waste oxygen and squander intellect with pointless dissections of motive plus solutions in reference to the Palestinian issue, but it's abundantly clear what the intent is.

So stop it. What Israel is doing THIS time around is what should have transpired at the very outset. That this charade lasted so long is an abomination.
