The Morning Report

The Morning Report — 11/22/23

Good morning, kids. One of the greatest Marines of all time, Chesty Puller once said during the heat of battle, "The enemy have us surrounded. They won't get away this time." Beyond the obvious geographical reference to Israel and the Middle East, the same applies geopolitically insofar as virtually every nation on the planet hates them. Despite the rhetoric aimed at mollifying well-heeled and Dem-JINO donors, the same tragically applies to the leadership (if you can call it that) of this nation.

The pressure had been building on Bibi and his cabinet to allow a ceasefire. Well, it seems as if they caved.

Hamas will release 12-13 hostages a day for four days in exchange for a ceasefire during that period of time, The Times of Israel reported. Israel will release about three times that number to return to their homes in Judea and Samaria and East Jerusalem.
Israel also reportedly agreed to allow fuel to go into Gaza, as well as a “significant amount of humanitarian aid,” the report said. Israel’s military and security agencies all reportedly supported the deal. It’s not clear when the ceasefire will go into effect.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly demanded that some of the conditions include the possibility for further hostages to be released after the four day pause, a commitment by Hamas to locate and find hostages held by other terror groups inside Gaza, and a refusal to release Palestinians from Israeli prisons who have been convicted of murder, the report noted, adding that Israel believes Hamas can help locate 30 additional women and children who were taken hostage by other terrorist groups.
“We are at war – and will continue the war,” Netanyahu said. “We will continue the war until we achieve all of our war aims: To eliminate Hamas, return all of our hostages and our missing, and ensure that there is no element in Gaza that threatens Israel.”

If you're at war, you don't even allow a second for these animals to breathe unmolested, let alone four days while all that supposed "humanitarian aid" will not go to a single civilian. Not that I even regard the average Gazan as such simply because of the poison that's been passed on in the blood for 1,500-plus years.

As Hamas uses ICU patients and babies in NICUs as human shields for its bases, what do the “ordinary Palestinians”, the ones liberals are convinced are innocent parties in all this, think? A recent poll of Arab Muslim residents of the West Bank and Gaza, known as ‘Palestinians’ circa 1967, conducted by the Arab World for Research and Development (AWRAD) asked them. 74% supported the Hamas atrocities of Oct 7. Of these 59% “extremely” support them and another 15% only “somewhat”. Only 7% were “extremely against” and 5% somewhat against.
That’s 74% in favor of murdering, raping and kidnapping Jews and only 12% against. Only 7% were ‘extremely’ against murdering and abducting children. Is this a moral or a tactical objection? Let’s look at the breakdown by region.
83% of those in the West Bank, ruled by the Palestinian Authority, said that they supported the Hamas atrocities. Only 7% were opposed. In Gaza, there was notably less enthusiasm at 63%. But after weeks of bombings and raids, only 20% seem to have decided it was a bad idea. Why were only 7% of those in the West Bank, but 20% of those in Gaza opposed? . . .
. . . The survey asked a few more questions that got to the heart of it. A majority believed that the Hamas atrocities were an Islamic response to the “defilement of Al Aqsa” by allowing Jews to set foot on the former site of the Holy Temple. 98% in Gaza and the West Bank said that they felt ‘pride’ as ‘Palestinians’ over the war. 74% expect the fighting to end with the defeat of Israeli forces in Gaza. Only 17% support a two-state solution while 77.7% want to destroy Israel and replace it with a ‘Palestinian’ state.
Are there innocent civilians in Gaza? Probably a lot fewer than in Berlin or Tokyo in 1944. The Germans supported Hitler and the Japanese backed the Imperial war machine. Those dissidents and opponents who disagreed not just on tactical grounds, but on moral ones, were a small minority. They’re a far tinier minority among the so-called Palestinians. The ‘Palestinian’ majority wants a war to destroy Israel fought by Islamic terrorists.

As I stated, the world has a hate on for Israel and Jews. Who the fuck cares what Macron or Biden let alone Xi and Putin think? And unless and until the entire 1.5 billion-strong Islamic world publicly renounces the parts of the Koran that call for the annihilation of all unbelievers and the conquest by the sword of the entire world – a complete nonstarter – a cease fire is a huge mistake. The grubby little 10-year-old who looks like an extra from a Save the Children ad wants to set off a satchel charge in a synagogue every bit as much as the fentanyl/Hadith crazed freaks who smashed into Israel on 10/7. Hell, the so called "civilians" took part in the burning, looting and murdering.

All of that said, I can't even begin to imagine what's going on in the minds of the families of the missing. Multiply that by a trillion as to what's going on in the minds of the captives, if they're even still alive. The response to a cease fire should have been a demand for UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER and the immediate release of all Israelis. Honestly, I'm a broken record with this shit but just to play devil's advocate and give us the tiniest sliver of hope that Bibi et al know what they're doing and something else is afoot, check this report:

As the Hamas Nazi infrastructure crumbles, literally — one building and one tunnel after another — and figuratively, with the desperation of its decimated operatives ever more apparent, one of its commanders, known as Abu Mohammed, in Gaza has publicly condemned the terror group’s leaders — Ismail Haniya and Yahya Sinwar — for having “betrayed” the group’s fighters. Almost all of Hamas’ leaders, including Haniya, Khaled Meshaal, and Mousa Abu Marzouk, are living in five-star hotels in Doha, where they watch the fighting in Gaza from afar, and count the money they have each stolen over the years from funds donated to support the people of Gaza. The only senior Hamas leader known to be in Gaza is Sinwar, head of its military wing, but instead of joining his troops in fighting the IDF, the way Israeli commanders lead their troops into battle, he prefers to stay hidden in a bunker. More on this Hamas commander’s rage at the terror group’s leaders, who he claims gave the orders for the October 7 attack without considering the consequences, can be found here: “Hamas commander: Haniyeh and Sinwar ‘destroyed us,’”
Jerusalem Post, November 8, 2023:

A senior Hamas commander told the UK’s Daily Mail that Hamas leaders Ismail Haniyeh and Yahya Sinwar had “destroyed” the lower levels of the terrorist movement by ordering the October 7 attack, according to a report by the British newspaper on Sunday. The commander, calling himself Abu Mohammed, told the newspaper in an interview over Telegram that originally the plan was to kidnap a few Israeli soldiers, but the orders were changed at the last minute by Hamas military leaders to conduct the massacre which ended up taking place on that tragic Saturday morning a month ago.
“Our reason to speak is that we want to raise our voice to the world. My dear Gaza is under bombardment,” he lamented: “The problem is because of our leadership. The commander pointed to the fact that Haniyeh and other leaders live in splendor abroad while he’s sustaining himself on some dates and olive oil.

A curious charge against Sinwar. Does “Abu Mohammed” regret the Hamas atrocities of October 7 and blame Sinwar for giving the okay to fentanyl-fueled killers to “do what they like”? It sounds as if he regrets those murderous attacks, which Sinwar’s open-ended instructions let loose, not because he found them morally abhorrent, but because they led inexorably to the Israelis to rise up as one to smash the terror group with a ferocity Hamas never expected.

The commander additionally stated that contact had been lost with Hamas’s political bureau, saying “We don’t know what direction to go in next. We don’t know which path to take. They destroyed us."
That is an admission by a Hamas commander of despair and defeat: “We in Hamas are leaderless, rudderless. From Doha, there is no leadership. From Yahya Sinwar, sitting in his bunker, there is only silence.”
. . . In Gaza, Hamas combatants are now in despair. Those who actually have to face the ferocity and complexity of the IDF attacks, every hour of every day and night, feel abandoned by their leaders. They don’t know where to put their feet and hands. They don’t know when the IDF will collapse the next tunnel, killing all those inside, or strike the next above-ground hideout of weapons and rocket launchers in a kindergarten, a mosque, an apartment building, a hospital. These Hamas terrorists are now, as Milton described Samson, “eyeless in Gaza.”

So, given this analysis that Hamas' morale is gone (remember that the IDF right now is operating virtually at will), perhaps the IDF and Mossad have a strong idea or know the exact location of the hostages. Or is Bibi snatching defeat from the jaws of victory?

Wiping out Hamas has to be the prime, strategic objective. It looks like Bibi screwed the pooch, but then again who knows? Maybe he's holding a royal flush and no one knows it. I hope so.

64 Interesting take on the Mayoral run off election that Charleston finished last night. Remember, the Mayors office is defined as non-partisan, so this is not a clear cut Dem-vs-Rebub contest on the surface.

https://tinyurl.com/3hu4xdyz

We often fear that the Left is moving south and taking over down here. But as I had mentioned before, most of the new folks seem to be very right of center.

Reading that link, while downtown historic Charleston city again voted for the incumbent, who has previously identified as a Democrat, the outlying areas of the city, the areas with the most influx of new residents, mostly from the northeast carried the opponent, who has previously identified as a Republican over the finish line with their votes solidly breaking to support him.

Just an interesting little take-away.

89 Although it may seem senseless to agree to a cease fire with Hamas, there are some possible strategic reasons for doing so.

The IDF is no doubt exhausted by several weeks of fighting. The cease fire gives them an opportunity to rest, regroup, rearm, and resupply. While Hamas can do the same, they have much less access to resources than the IDF.

They may have captured intel that needs to be analyzed, and this gives them some time to do that.

They can debrief the hostages about their experiences from inside the Hamas nest, perhaps gaining more intel.

They can use the supplies they are giving Hamas as a way to track them or sabotage them.

105 New York is a beautiful state. When you start to get into the more northern suburbs beyond the growing sprawl, it is even more beautiful, including largely the people. The problem is that Democrats ideologues along with their voting mouth-breathing supporters (remembering 40% of the population is in NYC), have destroyed the state. They have raided the treasury and wasted the money on buying votes with their union supporters. They have pursued every Left Wing, destructive goal with a vengeance and they are not slowing down, thus hastening New York's demise. There is no balance, thus there is no relief in sight. NY has the highest tax burden, the highest energy costs, the highest overall utility cost, lowest wage growth and has therefore lost over 2 million in population since 2012. Even worse, the people coming in are not replacing the tax revenue of those leaving. It's a disaster that's only been forestalled by a generous federal injection of money when Democrats were in Congress. But it will end in disaster because it cannot be maintained.

106 I sometimes feel like i was meant to be a new yorker. It's always a pleasure to me when i go there that it feels like everyone does things "right". No one would dare think to stop in the middle of a doorway and have a conversation. Nobody would stop dead in the middle of a narrow passage or hallway full of people to gawp at something. Nobody is trying to talk to me or anyone else unless they actually have some reason to. Just pay for your damn coffee and get the hell out of the way. Other people have things to do even if you don't. It's one of the most polite places I've ever been. People make a real unconscious effort just to not be in everyone else's way, or to pester them with phony sociability. It's lovely.

Keep suing until you get a favorable judge. Now it will wind its way to the appellate court, and probably SCOTUS who will delay their decision not to decide until after the election.

190 I have been thinking about this all night; and I think it's fair to contrast it to the biggest cave that America ever did, and that was at the end of the Gulf War, when Bush and Colin Powell allowed Saddam's army to escape when they were on the point of destruction.

Point is, Bush and Powell got nothing in return for doing that, which is what made it so stupid. Getting hostages back is unbelievably huge for the Isreali people, and Israeli morale. I have concluded that if I'm in the position of Israel's war cabinet, I take the chance on this deal. Getting people back is just too important to throw the chance away.

211 89 Although it may seem senseless to agree to a cease fire with Hamas, there are some possible strategic reasons for doing so.

The IDF is no doubt exhausted by several weeks of fighting. The cease fire gives them an opportunity to rest, regroup, rearm, and resupply. While Hamas can do the same, they have much less access to resources than the IDF.....

The IDF has stated that they are transitioning from mode of warfare, invasion, to what can be called consolidation, and they have advanced so far, so fast, that they have to be somewhat disorganized at the moment. And I find the Israeli offer of extending it a day at a time for each 10 additional hostages released a very clever psychological move.

What's being discussed is a 4 day pause; and Israel has made what I think is a very clever proposal; extending it an extra day for each 10 hostages released. This offer puts Israel in charge of the timing of new hostilities; I have no doubt that the IDF will use this time to prepae for the next wave of attacks, and the timing will be set as the day that Hamas refuses to release any more hostages.

I also expect Hamas to break this ceasefire sooner, rather than later. I don't believe they have the discipline to stop shooting missiles at Tel Aviv for long.

251 The biggest reason I would have taken this deal if I was in the War Cabinet's position is that I, just like they must be thinking, consider the chance of getting *any* of the hostages back alive to be miraculous. There was *never* any chance of "rescuing" any of them, that was a foolish and unrealistic hope; they were held in places that were too deep. The question was how to NOT make Hamas so desperate that they simply execute all the hostages with machine guns and blow themselves up with hand grenades, a thing other terrorists have often done when cornered.

You can go back to Sun Tzu's advice to always leave an enemy the hope of a way out, so as not to cause him to fight from a state of absolute desperation. Netanyahu has resisted the calls from inside Israel to try to get the hostages back for far longer than I thought he could; if he can get at least some of them back now, it will justify all the decisions that have been made up to this point.

252 Biden won by 12,000, so those 3600 wouldn't change the outcome. Therefore Trump is guilty. And even if you found 1 million, trump would still be guilty because he didn't know for sure at the time, therefore his attempt to overthrow the election was illegal.

The trick to cooking a turkey is...to make a stellar gravy.
Do a giblet one today - if it's outstanding, you're already set for tomorrow.
If it's not, you have take 2 with the turkey drippings tomorrow. Ultimately, your turkey can be a little dry, a little rubbery, a little flavorless and you'll be fine b/c the gravy will cover all sins, and folks will rave about the gravy.
Just make sure you make plenty of gravy.

The charges, totaling $3,561, come as a shock to the soldier, especially considering the circumstances under which the gear was left behind.

During the chaotic last moments of the Afghanistan withdrawal, Michael and his fellow soldiers were instructed to leave behind their equipment. This directive, given amidst the pandemonium of the withdrawal, now seems to have financial repercussions for the soldiers involved.

1. The U.S. Military immediately ended all DIE indoctrination & bullshit;

2. He received full back-pay, benefits, and other compensation since discharge; and

3. All such soldiers received a public apology from the ~~Vegetable-Puppet~~ Commander -in-Chief.

Israel will have every electronic, video, aerial, space based, human, robot squirrel asset anyone ever imagined following this process.

While Hamas tries to rebuild their redoubts IDF will be watching the lumber and cement trucks.

When Hamas violates the cease fire, which they will, or reneges on the hostage exchange IDF will have firing solutions ready.

While the International Energy Agency says to fulfill "net zero" goals - global nuclear generation capacity must double from 2020 levels by 2050 - demand for yellowcake is skyrocketing at a time when Western governments are sanctioning Russia, which currently accounts for about 8% of the world's uranium supplies. This means the West must develop new supply sources to replace those sold to the Russians by the Clintons.

"Efraim Halevy, former Mossad and NSC head, spoke to Ynet about the confirmed hostages deal and said that it was "the best deal that could be achieved at this point."

According to Halevy, "There will be great pressure in the international sphere, including from the US. I am now in the US and talking to people about the situation. The Americans also see this deal as a move that will strengthen the intention to end the war."

Halevi also added that "this deal - the first stage, the first move, that if this process of exchange is pushed through to the end, it will be much more difficult to renew the fighting, even though Prime Minister Netanyahu says that they will renew the military campaign until the collapse of Hamas. I think there will be immense pressure from the US to bring about a slowdown, and perhaps even an end to the fighting, without Hamas actually collapsing completely."

Islamic Jihad in Gaza has suddenly made some public statements and is acting very nervous about this deal, leading to dark suspicions that Islamic Jihad may have already killed most, if not all, of the hostages they were holding.

That's another part of this deal, that the Red Cross is going to be allowed to visit and identify them. That will let Israel know just how many are still alive.

No, no they're not.
The Lincoln Project type people joined DeSantis' team so that they could lob grenades at Trump, and destroy DeSantis as well. That's what these neverTrump loud-and-proud former Republicans in the MSM (think Joe Scarborough) have gushed about: the opportunity to take *both* of them out.

As for bad actors, you can add Laura Loomer to that list, She is on the Trump campaign and she is just as actively trying to burn it ALL down.

The IDF controls the northern 40% of Gaza. The IDF and Bibi may need some time to figure out what to do with all the Pali's now concentrated in Southern Gaza, while destroying Hamas in that area. This may include negotiations with El-Sisi to temporarily move them into camps in Egypt near Gaza, and/or to build tent camps in Northern Gaza. Just speculating here.

498 Halevi also added that "this deal - the first stage, the first move, that if this process of exchange is pushed through to the end, it will be much more difficult to renew the fighting, even though Prime Minister Netanyahu says that they will renew the military campaign until the collapse of Hamas. I think there will be immense pressure from the US to bring about a slowdown, and perhaps even an end to the fighting, without Hamas actually collapsing completely."

Al-Sisi has quietly moved a line of M-60 tanks to two miles south of the Rafah Crossing, just so no one misses the fact that Egypt's answer to sending Palestinians to the Sinai is "Not only No, but HELL no!!!"

and it's understandable - Egypt is still having problems with Islamic radicals hiding out in the Sinai, they don't need to add to the problem.

And Jordan has said any attempt to move Palestinians to their country will be considered an act of war. Hmm, seems like a theme going for anyone who has experience with the Palestinians.

532 On Sept. 16, 1989, Boris Yeltsin was a newly elected member of the Soviet Parliament visiting the United States. Following a scheduled visit to Johnson Space Center, Yeltsin and a small entourage made an unscheduled stop at a Randalls grocery store in Clear Lake, a suburb of Houston. He was amazed by the aisles of food and stocked shelves, a sharp contrast to the breadlines and empty columns he was accustomed to in Russia.

Yeltsin, who had a reputation as a reformer and populist, “roamed the aisles of Randall’s nodding his head in amazement,” wrote Stefanie Asin, a Houston Chronicle reporter. He marveled at free cheese samples, fresh fish and produce, and freezers packed full of pudding pops. Along the way, Yeltsin chatted up customers and store workers: “How much does this cost? Do you need special education to manage a supermarket? Are all American stores like this?”

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

The Times of Israel reported Hostage deal to see release of 30 kids, 8 mothers, 12 women from Gaza - report (in part)
Hamas is claiming it cannot immediately locate some 10 additional children taken from Israel during the shock October 7 attacks. Hamas has said it has 210 of the about 240 hostages abducted last month, which includes about 40 children. Islamic Jihad is said to be holding many of the remaining hostages. Israel believes Hamas may prove able to locate and release up to 30 more Israeli women and children.

MSM played huge into continually interviewing family of those taken or missing, and who would not want their family member(s) returned ASAP? But what even I thought could happen - other terrorist groups holding hostages too - might be real. Now what? Again I pray there's some confirmation as to the current health & location of each 'Hamas" hostage.

And the BS woe of the alleged leaderless Hamas bosses; nothing from Doha & no Sinwar at ground level. What's the odds Doha had Sinwar 'relocated'? 50+days from the attack have passed & it seems imho the international orchestration continues.

Stand with Israel.

Footage captures DC officers talking Antifa, exhorting rioters to run into Capitol and may provide roadmap to future security reforms to avoid "blue-on-blue tragedy."

The footage reviewed by Just the News ranges from the mundane -- such as chronicling moments when Capitol Police officers are impacted by tear gas fired into the crowd – to more provocative scenes that appear to show plainclothes MPD officers exhorting rioters to climb scaffolding near the Capitol or talking about being undercover with liberal fascist protesters in a crowd.

“President Biden has invoked the Defense Production Act so that the U.S. can take ownership of its clean energy independence,” announced Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm.

Sucks when you're knocked from the top of the list. Shame no one ever pins down these politicians/the DNC to specify their special interest/demographic priority hierarchy.

Many were called raaaacists for noticing that the Democrats were using mass immigration to dilute the voice of citizens. Fun fact: they're replacing ALL citizens, not just the white ones.

This is true, but to his credit, he did this to insure that Commies died in droves killing NAZIs leaving the US the ability to capture Western Europe at a very low cost. Soviets paid roughly 31M in lives to win eastern Europe. We paid around 500k to gain western Europe. Oddly, Germany lost 4.5M. It was a very Eugenic War. If only Lincoln could do fucking math.

But it's not a mental illness, right?
These monsters are intentionally jamming the normal development of a personal/sexual identity by bombarding them with sexuality concepts way, way too early, causing them to be some new-fangled flavor of LGBTQIA++ -- and then demanding the world accommodate and affirm their mental illness. These kids are supposed to be totally normalized and yet also totally fragile to the point that one offhand comment or mistake (misgendering, using their old name) will drive them to suicide.

621 People are free to busily remove the rivets and bolts from an airplane while in flight, but those people are not free to decide the outcome when both wings have finally fallen to the ground. ("Hurtling Toward Oblivion" Dr. Richard Swensen)

To "any who have ears to hear": A nation's "gates" will fall into the ground, their cities be overrun with alien invaders. Treasuries be looted, possessions, even entire manufacturing facilities and jobs, are carried away to foreign lands. Soldiers become like women, unwilling or unable to fight. Leaders turn foolish, corrupt, and traitorous. Youngsters show extraordinary contempt for elders, authoritarian women will rule over emasculated men. People turn to idolatry of various sorts; abortion gets rid of pesky children who'll need the attention I could give to my phone, TV, computer games...exquisite food, drink, travel for diversion and rescue from fear of a future looking more and more "like the days of Noah."
