The Morning Report — 12/4/23

carvillehess.jpg

Good morning, kids. Isn't it comforting to know that in the face of an abject naked tyranny that has utterly eviscerated every last shred of the rule of law, decency, morality and ethics in the pursuit of absolute power we have . . . the GOP? Hallelujah, we're saved:

America is in crisis mode. We have an invasion at our southern border, a president in severe mental decline who’s involved in a foreign influence-peddling scheme, skyrocketing inflation, a “rainbow” military, Democrats trying to “trans” children, and a federal government that’s weaponizing the legal system to target conservatives, interfere in elections, and collude with Big Tech to stifle free speech online, just to name a few examples. With all of these major issues at the forefront of U.S. politics, surely congressional Republicans are using every tool at their disposal to confront them, right? Wrong.

Instead of tackling any of the aforementioned crises plaguing the country, House Republicans spent Friday colluding with Democrats to remove one of their GOP allies from Congress. In a 311-114 vote, the GOP-controlled House voted to expel Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., making him “the third member” removed from the lower chamber “since the Civil War.” The Justice Department previously indicted the New York Republican on charges related to identity theft, wire fraud, and other crimes earlier this year, but he has yet to be convicted. . .

. . . As mind-numbingly moronic as Friday’s vote is, it’s hardly the first time Republicans have gone out of their way to side with Democrats and ignore the priorities of their voters. Not long after Johnson was sworn in as speaker, for example, House Republicans surrendered on a major spending fight that gave Democrats pretty much everything they wanted while GOP voters got squat. . .

. . . Until conservatives learn to become active in GOP primaries and make them pay the electoral consequences for their failures, establishment Republicans will continue to sell out their voters on every issue that matters, when it matters.

Look, I'm no special pleader for George Santos. In a sane, rational world Santos never would've made it as far as he did but the salient point here is we're no longer in a sane, rational world. Compared to the in-your-face vast criminality, graft, fraud, Jew-hatred and corruption that is the stock in trade of the Democrats and a not insignificant portion of the GOP-e, what George Santos is guilty of, that is what he is only merely accused of, is about as serious as swiping a piece of penny candy from the corner store. He won a shocker election and took a seat from the Democrats on battleground Long Island, which has been trending more and more Republican in recent cycles. That is what he's really guilty of. That said, given everything that's going on, so long as George Santos spent his term voting "NO" on every Democrat or even bipartisan law, whatever he did or is accused of makes no difference to me whatsoever.

Sad that that's the way things are but the world is the way it is, not the way I want it to be. So, thanks GOP for making the narrowest of narrow margins in the House even that much more precarious going into 2024. Santos is right: "To Hell With This Place."

They'll go after George Santos but when it comes to being smeared, slimed and blood-libeled it's crickets all the way down:

Democratic strategist James Carville claimed during an interview late last week that Christian Republicans represented a greater threat to the U.S. than Islamic terrorists. . .

. . . When asked by host Bill Maher if he was referring to “Christian nationalists,” Carville responded: “Absolutely, this is a bigger threat than al-Qaeda to this country.”

“And let me tell you something: The Speaker of the House, they got probably at least two Supreme Court justices, maybe more, don’t kid yourself,” he continued. “People in the press have no idea who this guy is, how he was formed, what the threat is, and this is a fundamental threat to the United States. It is a fundamental thing. [They] don’t believe in the Constitution. They’ll tell you that. Mike Johnson himself says what is democracy but two wolves and a lamb having lunch? That’s what they really, really, really believe.”“And to say, ‘Oh, come on, man. It’s just some crazy s***.’ No, no. They believe that. And they’re coming and they’ve been doing it forever. They’re funded. They’re funded. They’re relentless and, you know, they probably won’t win for a while but they might. And if they do, the whole country blows a gasket.”

Johnson responded to the remarks in a post on his official government X account, saying that the Democrat Party should condemn Carville’s remarks.

“It’s twisted and shameful that a leading Democrat strategist says millions of Christians in America are a greater threat than foreign terrorists who murdered more than 3,000 Americans,” Johnson said. “The Democratic Party should condemn this. But they won’t.”

Good on Mike Johnson, I guess, but why did he allow the vote to expel George Santos in the first place? In any case, let me tell that bald-headed Cajun swamp-gas belching scumbag something. Considering the criminality, degeneracy and destruction you and yours have wrought on America since 1992 and really since the time of Woodrow Wilson, this is one Jew who prays night and day to the good Lord above to make this nation a true Christian nation once again – and consign this wretched bastard and everyone like him to the Infernal Reaches.

Funny how Carville was radio silent when the transexual psycho terrorist went on a Al Qaeda/Hamas-like killing spree at a Christian school in Tennessee. Or when a black dude rammed the Waukesha Christmas parade two years ago and slaughtered a whole group of "Christian nationalists." Or how since 10/7 Jews have been targeted and in a couple instances sent to the morgue in "white Christian nationalist" bastions like NYC and LA.

I hate fucks like Carville with the heat of 10,000,000 suns but what I hate even more is the milquetoast non-response from Republicans to these blood-libels. Until people like him are forced to spit out their teeth like Chiclets whenever they spout crap like this, it's all of us that are going to continue to get it in the neck.

Meanwhile, in Dearborn East, aka Gaza, it looks as if the Israelis are telling Biden to get fucked.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spent the first 48 hours of renewed fighting by attacking targets throughout Gaza, and fighting deep into southern portions of the Gaza Strip — apparently surprising Hamas, which expected Israel to stay in the north alone.

The U.S. had openly opposed an Israeli invasion of the southern Gaza Strip, saying that Israel had to account for civilians first. Whether Israel defied the U.S, or the U.S. participated in the ruse, Hamas does not appear to have expected the southern push.

Israel also released a map to help civilians avoid fighting, with different areas of the Gaza Strip numbered. The U.S. suggested that the map satisfied its concerns, though the administration has at times offered conflicting signals about Israeli tactics.

Reports on social media suggested that Israel had cut begun to cut a path across the southern Gaza Strip, entering from the east and progressing toward the Mediterranean coast, effectively dividing Gaza into three smaller sections — north, central and south.

Fighting in the south centered around the city of Khan Yunis, where Hamas leadership is thought to have fled — and where many of the remaining 137 Israeli hostages may be imprisoned. Talk among Israeli officials has shifted from negotiating for the release of hostages to the possibility of freeing them by force.

Israel announced the elimination of a senior Hamas commander, Haitham Khuwajari, an alleged leader of the October 7 terror attack on Israel, on Sunday, and the IDF and Israel Security Agency [ISA] released video of the airstrike in which he was killed . . .

. . . Reports on social media suggested that morale among the Palestinian population had begun to collapse, and that Israel might turn the tide against Hamas by appealing directly to the residents of Gaza to rise up against the terrorists that rule the territory.

I don't claim to be a Middle East expert but that last bit is ridiculous. Regardless of how horribly Hamas treats its own civilians vis a vis as their once-only elected governmental body, which essentially is on par with dog shit, the ugly truth is Hamas or no Hamas, the average resident of Gaza has as much or more hate on for the Jews as the armed animals who carried out the 10/7 slaughter. In fact, many participated in the attacks and thousands of others, courtesy of work permits granted by Israel, spent years mapping out targets for the attack. Nothing is ever going to change their hatred for Israel and Jews. Period.

And lest we forget that that shit is coming here to America. In fact, it's already here and has been since Rabbi Meir Kahane was murdered by an Egyptian-born jihadi back in 1990 (who was also involved in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing).

Las Vegas’ KLAS reported Friday that “Las Vegas police and the FBI thwarted a potential terror plot involving a 16-year-old.” Hey, bravo, FBI! Mighty good of you folks to tear yourselves away from hunting for Jan. 6 “insurrectionists” and “white supremacist terrorists” to investigate an actual terror threat! Sure, you guys are having great fun immersing yourselves in fantasy and heavily politicized propaganda, but it was great to see you take a break from all that and do some actual work!

If they really did any, that is. It was the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) that held a press conference Friday to give the details of the investigation. An LVMPD official displayed a message that the teen had posted on a social media platform, which said: “Peace be upon all brothers who see this. I am here to announce that I will be starting lone wolf operations in Las Vegas against the enemies of Allah. I ask you to make Dua [prayers] for victory. I am a supporter of the Islamic State, and I will make sure the Zionists in this city know it.” Along with this message, the post featured an image of the flag of the Islamic State (ISIS).

This message was, the Vegas police explained, the handiwork of a local 16-year-old whom they said was “a recent convert to Islam.” When they arrested this boy, police “found components for building an improvised explosive device along with bomb-making recipes and instructions.” As if that weren’t enough, they also found “terrorism propaganda, a handmade ISIS flag, a headband and patches.” The cops “also found self-portraits of the suspect wearing the material and surrounded by propaganda, self-produced terrorism propaganda and anti-Semitic threats.” The kid clearly liked his regalia, and must have been quite a sight strutting around Sin City dressed like Osama bin Laden. 

He wasn’t, however, just playing dress-up: “Evidence also included ISIS and Al-Qaida propaganda, radicalization materials, and guidance for conducting a terrorist attack.” All this comes against the backdrop of the TikTok craze, which first featured woke millennials praising Osama’s belligerent and antisemitic 2002 letter to America, and then escalated to pink-haired freaks and self-emasculated geeks professing to be reading and studying the Qur’an, and finding its wisdom overwhelmingly compelling. 

It's ridiculous to see people who would be thrown off the tops of tall buildings if they ventured to Kabul or Tehran lauding the same belief system that would brutalize and kill them if given half a chance, but the laughter catches in one’s throat when one realizes that yesterday’s pink-haired wokester could be tomorrow’s warrior of Allah. In the Las Vegas case, “investigators said there was no indication of a continued threat, calling it ‘isolated.'” Well, maybe it is isolated in terms of the scope of this particular jihad plot, but just wait until Las Vegas officials discover that there’s a global jihad, and that before too very long, they could be dealing with plots comparable to this one on a daily basis. 

After all, conversion to Islam is sweeping our nation’s youth, and what that all too often entails is made abundantly clear in this plot. Where did this teenager get the idea that he should do violence against perceived “enemies of Allah”? We’re constantly told that all Muslims in the United States reject the Islamic State and al-Qaeda and their understanding of Islam, and that only greasy Islamophobes believe otherwise. Where did this teen learn about Islam? Where did he go to mosque? Are investigators in Las Vegas looking into this? You can be about 100% certain that they aren’t, and wouldn’t dare. To do so would be “Islamophobic,” and the Biden regime has just launched a big new campaign against “Islamophobia.” If Vegas police look too closely at how this teen was recruited for jihad, they could be courting professional ruin.

Meanwhile, Ilhan Bro-Fo Omar who lied about her immigration status as well as engaging in incestuous relationships to gain citizenship and Rancida Tlaib who regularly consorts with and gets money from terrorist or terrorist-adjacent organizations roam congress freely as "great Americans." And with a completely erased border, unvetted hordes of "lone wolves" from all over the Muslim world and elsewhere will destroy us from within sooner rather than later.

George Santos is right. "To hell with this place."

not entirely sure. does one HAVE to be a member of congress to have a complaint filed against another member? maybe he's got a friend or two that would file on his behalf. that could be fun. that or he has enough knowledge of others activities to make public and get a complaint started, because you KNOW democrats would be all over that.

I think every one of these idiots, from Gaza City to the Chesapeake Bay, is surprised that Israel isn't just eating their shit with a grin this time around. They seem genuinely shocked by the development. Hamas/Iran seemed to think this adventure would be a fun romp instead of a degringolade, for some reason.

And I suspect the reason is that the DC regime promised Tehran it would be fine, that they'd take care of everything... hurr DURRRR.

The sooner the nations of the world catch on to the fact that our malign influence has waned past the point of efficacy, the better.

51 Carville is one of the last living examples of the old Southern Democrats of the Clinton era, a loathsome bunch, and it is fitting that he is now totally politically estranged from the vast majority of white voters in his own state.

In this, he's retracing the steps of old Texas Democrats a couple decades ago, people like Ann Richards and Molly Ivins. Oh they continued to spew venom for their remaining years, but they were never again at home in the places they came from.

This whole thing is really hilarious. I, and everyone else who just paid attention to what Israel's leadership was clearly saying, knew that Israel was going to be headed into the south with multiple tank columns the minute the cease-fire ended. They said clearly and plainly that they were going to do it.

There have been so many levels of deception and self-deception in the world lately that many have no idea how to cope when someone says plainly and simply what they are about to do, with no lies. Well, Orwell had it pegged - "In a time of Universal Lies, Truthtelling becomes a Revolutionary Act."

I think it's more like a 1970s nightmare. A militaristic rogue state hegemon gradually sliding into history's septic tank. Its corrupt gerontocracy's reach exceeds its grasp... Its ability to command world events is slipping away, and its domestic situation is spiralling inexorably downward. It has no legitimacy, and it's subjects only play along because of fear and repression.

That may sound bleak... But it isn't. At the end of this process, the regime's evil grip weakens to the breaking point and it gets sloughed off and left behind like an old husk.

105 Israel also released a map to help civilians avoid fighting, with different areas of the Gaza Strip numbered. The U.S. suggested that the map satisfied its concerns, though the administration has at times offered conflicting signals about Israeli tactics.
++++
This is called "saving face" and it's an actual diplomatic skill. Israel is resuming the war after taking a pause it didn't really want to take. The US is opposed to this. Israel is doing it anyway.

There are many ways such a thing can go. There's three big approaches, though. First is the emotionally satisfying, "nah, fuck you bro" and then off to the races. Second is agreeing to do what the other party wants, then doing whatever you want anyway (a simple lie). The third way is the diplomatic way: you do what you want after making your intentions clear in private to relevant parties, then offer a way for the other party to accept your terms through a minor point. This map served this purpose. It changes nothing, but it allows the US to save face while Israel said, "nah bro" in private.

108 It’s too bad we can’t go back to the pre-BCS college football system which always crowned a “mythical” national champion. It was a better system… Under the old pre-1998 system we’d now have Michigan-Washington in the Rose Bowl playing for a national championship. And at the same time, undefeated Florida State could play in the Sugar Bowl against Alabama or in the Orange Bowl against Georgia. Texas could play Oregon in the Cotton Bowl. A lot of interesting games and whoever won the Rose Bowl would be voted #1 by the AP. And if FSU happened to win their bowl game against an excellent Alabama team, they’d probably get a share of the mythical national championship by being voted #1 in the coaches poll. That actually happened in 1997 when Michigan and Nebraska shared the title. But all the smart people had to “make it better” (and ruin tradition in the process). Next year when it becomes a 12-team playoff, the #13 team will cry and whine like FSU is crying and whining right now….

110 I don't claim to be a Middle East expert but that last bit is ridiculous. Regardless of how horribly Hamas treats its own civilians vis a vis as their once-only elected governmental body, which essentially is on par with dog shit, the ugly truth is Hamas or no Hamas, the average resident of Gaza has as much or more hate on for the Jews as the armed animals who carried out the 10/7 slaughter.
++++
Yes, but...

If getting rid of Hamas will stop the siege, they might be able to be induced to "rise up" and eliminate Hamas, at least officially.

Then Hamas 2.0 - whether under an existing name like "ISIS" or "Islamic Jihad" or under some new name - will slot in easily enough after Israel declares victory and something approaching status quo ante is reimposed.

I doubt this will happen, but I think it is possible.

Dan Crenshaw spent over $2 million dollars on “events” and event related services, like event make-up and jet rentals, in the 2022 cycle.

He spent over $500,000 on travel. Including $47,000 on black car rentals.

Crenshaw spent $200,000 on promotional eyepatches and glassware.

He billed his campaign $36,000 for “petty cash”

He spent $166,000 on hotels, most of them luxury hotels, in vacation destinations like Jackson Hole, Wyoming and Coronado Beach, California.

All in all, Crenshaw spent over $14 million from his primary campaign fund to win reelection in his R+18 district. His Democrat opponent spent less than $200,000.

None of the numbers below include the expenses he billed for in his Joint Fundraising Committee (another $1.8 million) or his Leadership PAC ($75,000).

And I’m supposed to care about George Santos? At least George Santos did something impressive with his campaign funds: unseat a 3 term Dem incumbent in a D+2 district.

I think (just my opinion) that Jesus used to illustration to say that his new “way” couldn’t fit into old conceptions of religiosity. He came with something new; not to patch the old. As he said in another place, he didn’t come to destroy the law but to fulfill it. It’s a teaching about salvation

I heard it explained that ancient "bottles" were more akin to large leather pouches that expanded as the wine fermented. Old containers were already stretched out and would burst if used. Analogy is that many people are too set in the old ways to handle new knowledge and new ways of living.

263 worth noting the specific reasons the negotiations between Hamas and Israel over hostages broke down - Israel was always clear that all women and children had to be released first, and they would release some female and underage prisoners in exchange. They were able to get 110 back, some of which were men, but that was because Hamas wanted to let other foreign nationals go. (Thai's, filipinos) At the end of the process, Israel said that there were still 17 women and 2 children missing, Hamas just said it didn't know anything about them, and wanted to talk about some of the male hostages. After a few hours of game playing, Israel walked out of the negotiations and withdrew all negotiators from Qatar; said that now it will be War Only.

The saddest part of this is the knowledge that those missing 17 women and 2 children are almost certainly dead already. This was telegraphed when Hamas refused to let the Red Cross visit any of them, they have always been trying to hide how many they have already murdered. Those remaining - only a slim chance of ever seeing any of them alive again.

FORMER US. AMB. ARRESTED: The United States' former ambassador to Bolivia has been arrested on suspicion of being a Cuban spy in a long-running FBI counterintelligence investigation.

Manuel Rocha, 73, was arrested in Miami Friday, according to the Associated Press. More details of the allegations against him will be outlined when he appears in court Monday.

He served under both Democratic and Republican administrations during his 25-year diplomatic career. Much of his career was spent in Latin America during the Cold War, which included a stint at the US Interests Section in Cuba.

309 Over on AmericanThinker, one of their writers argued that the Republican Party is not going to change until conservatives get involved in the primary process. That claim left me scratching my head, because what the hell does the writer think the Tea Party and MAGA are all about?
Of course conservatives need to - and have been - involved in the Republican primaries but to what ends? 2014 midterms were hijacked by the GOPe, with the Mississippi choice for U.S. Senate being stolen by their own state party that coordinated with Democrats. And don't even talk to me about 2020 or 2022, were again, the Republican Party aided and abetted the Left to defeat MAGA candidates through any means necessary, legal or illegal. And yet, the AT writer wants to blame conservatives?!?
So here's how I'm going to help. I'm going to work tirelessly to destroy the Republican Party. They've earned it! Save for President Trump, MTG, Matt Gaetz and Kari Lake, I see few warriors worth voting in. And since the GOP hates us, we will return the sentiment. Fuck you, Republicans. FUCK YOU!

315 The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) released a lengthy report on what is known as the “dead ocean” threat with a focus on the Nantucket region, specifically what are called the Nantucket shoals. This is a major feeding ground of the desperately endangered North Atlantic Right Whale. It is really a good case study for all major offshore wind installations.

The report uncovers something strange but true. The physics is technical, but the basic idea is simple. Wind turbines take a lot of the energy out of the air, creating a lower energy wake behind the wind turbine facility. Lower energy wind causes lower energy waves so there is much less mixing in the ocean surface layer. This depletes the oxygen level in the water, which can reduce the amount of living food sources that whales eat, which can harm the whales on a population level. This is why it is called the dead ocean effect.

Ha. That reminds me. The economy is so strong, jack!, that Red Lobster lost their shirt with their $20 shrimp deal because they admit that people are trying to find cheap ways to still eat out.

Also they raised the price to $25 because the economy is so good. YOU'RE WELCOME, JACK!


"The chain rolled out the $20 all-you-can-eat shrimp promotion to increase restaurant visits. The longstanding promotion had previously been offered once a week. The chain tweaked it this year by offering it every day.

Their generosity backfired, as the chain underestimated the number of diners hunting for dining deals amid rising menu prices.

They anticipated the promotion would give them a 20% boost in traffic. Instead, they got 40%...

But instead of scrapping the new promotion, the chain gradually raised the price from $20 to $22. It's now at $25."

from the video below:

The quiet purge of censorship evidence took place even as the Supreme Court prepares to issue a ruling in Missouri v. Biden, the lawsuit concerning the very activities that the agency now aims to hide from view. It also comes as evidence of DHS’s involvement in the censorship industry mounts: the House Judiciary Committee recently released new evidence proving that the Election Integrity Partnership — the coalition of social media monitoring and mass-reporting outfits that took a leading role in censoring American political speech during the 2020 election — was created at the behest of DHS.

Wayback Machine records now confirm that DHS deleted the video sometime between April 9, 2023 and May 9, 2023, which would have been during the run-up to the Missouri v. Biden trial court ruling on the federal government’s role in online censorship.

409 You win your conference championship (piss off Notre Dame: Join a conference), you're in. Period. Fill in the gaps with the remaining high ranked / win teams.

This would at least make the conf champ games matter. Next season these last 2 weekends of very good games will be meaningless beyond who gets a bye.

410 371 Okay, so...Yay Horns!!!

And that ranking makes sense if they really wanted Alabama in the mix.

Of course, Texas has to be ranked above them.

Though if I were making the list.

Florida State would be in the mix and Alabama out.

Que sera sera.

Its a TV show, no one wants to watch FSU and their lack of a QB. scUM/bama will break just about every viewership record.

ESPN and the NCAA crave another Alabama-Texas championship game. For the money.

417 >>Related, I was reading that corporations are allowing more and more online order folks who request returns to simply keep the stuff because it somehow helps bookkeeping.

Ordered a wireless keyboard from New Egg. Really liked it, but on the second day the 'T' key stopped working so I requested a return. They said "Keep it, we'll just send you a new one." Then, before the new one arrived, the 'T' key started working again. I felt sorta bad about that.

418 Mrs.DIG is watching some bullshit morning show, and there was a Nurtec commercial with Lady Gaga playing the piano in some weird-ass outfit.

She explained, "My God, she looks like a fucking alien!"

She's a keeper.

It's a little known fact but 87.54% of keyboard issues are related to Cheetos consumption.

422 @418 The Lady Gaga ad had demanded my attention at once, since when she says "migraine attacks" it sounds so much like "My Brain Attacks." I thought for a moment Pharma had come up with a new name for a headache.

424 The LEGO store in the San Francisco Centre mall has officially closed, right in the middle of the Christmas retail season, joining a retail exodus from the city that is driven by crime, homelessness, drugs, and the nation’s slowest post-pandemic recovery.

425 The LEGO store in the San Francisco Centre mall has officially closed, right in the middle of the Christmas retail season, joining a retail exodus from the city that is driven by crime, homelessness, drugs, and the nation’s slowest post-pandemic recovery.

Or, as Gavin Newsom would say, "The LEGO store in the San Francisco Centre mall has adjusted to new economic paradigm, once again demonstrating how California's policies have resulted in historic levels of activity and movement in the retail sector."

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

Carville's back to save the Democrats 'cause FJB has got 'em on shaky grounds. FJB, PDT, Manchin & West running for President 2024 tanks FJB. The party platform is now Culture Wars, imo, just like the DeSantis/Newsom debate.

Get the Democrats off identity politics for the next year - with the exception of "REPUBLICIAN Christian nationalists" who 'support the presence of Christian symbols in the public square, and state patronage for the practice and display of religion & focus focuses on the internal politics of society, such as legislating civil & criminal laws that reflect THEIR view of Christianity.' (Wikipedia, for some, & emphasis added mine.) i.e., "Republicans want to ban Palestinian refugees from entering the USA.." NBC article, 10/17/23.

And put 'attention' on younger 'rising' progressives such as Gavin Newsom, Gretchen Whitmer & PA Governor Josh Shapiro. (BTW, PA's Susan Wilde serves on the Ethics Committee that got Santos booted & can't stop crowing.)

We know why, but where are they hiding 85 years old Maxine?

432 Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital Declares War on Juror #1

John Hopkins is pulling the same kinds of shenanigans as Oberlin College did, and they need to pay for going after the jury foreman because his wife paid attention to the case. Additional penalties should be imputed on them for doxxing the jury foreman, damages to the jury foreman and his family, and his legal bills and loss of time paid. They penalties need to be punitive enough that John Hopkins thinks twice about every doing this again. What they did to that girl and her family that led to the girl's mother's suicide is unforgivable.
