The Morning Report

The Morning Report — 12/28/23

Good morning, kids. Assume for a moment you were the so-called "leader of the free world," that is the President of the United States of America, and that at least two or three flashpoints, one in particular involving dozens of attacks on American military personnel, had the potential to touch off a major regional war if not World War Three itself. We'll leave aside the titanic catastrophe of a wide open border and non-functioning immigration system, which in and of themselves are an existential threat to the nation, since I only just swore you in a moment ago. And not on a stack of used Mandate and Inches magazines either.

Whatever your options as commander-in-chief might be, I'd bet this one wouldn't even be on the list let alone right at the top:

The attack against U.S. troops, claimed by Kataib Hezbollah militants, left three U.S. troops injured — one critically so. [Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants] did, however, post on social media wishing Americans a “Happy Kwanzaa” from both his official and personal social media accounts.Biden then departed for a vacation to the U.S. Virgin Islands.
It is the first time a U.S. service member was critically injured in the spate of attacks against U.S. troops stationed in Iraq and Syria by Iran-backed groups since October 17.
The attacks came after the Iran-backed terrorists threatened attacks against U.S. troops if U.S.-ally Israel invaded Gaza in response to Hamas’s terrorist attack against Israel on October 7, which killed more than 1,200 people, many of them civilians.
There have been more than 100 attacks against U.S. troops to date, but Biden has ordered fewer than ten counterstrikes and has opted to hit mostly weapons and ammunition storage facilities.

So, Iranian-backed terrorists are attacking and killing GI's as well as choking off the Red Sea and by extension the Suez Canal. And our response is lob a few missiles at some empty warehouses and get dragged off by your tacky, low-rent Edith Wilson wannabe handler on yet another vacation. Well, at least your handlers had the decency to have your teleprompter wish everyone "Happy Kwanzaa."

82 million votes. Biggest win evah! For sure, there were 82 million ballots, with the margin of "victory" cast by around 820 individuals. ~~Elections~~ Overflowing Atlanta toilets have consequences. But I digress.

The Wall Street Journal reported that the White House declassified information indicating the extent of Iranian regime’s support for the Houthis. The release of this information seems to be an attempt to create a basis for potential military action against the Houthis.
The Iranian regime seeks to present the Houthis as the government of Yemen, but the international community does not recognize the Houthis as such. The Yemeni government, based in Aden, is recognized by the United Nations as the legitimate government of Yemen.
Ali al-Sarawi, media advisor to the Yemeni prime minister, stated in an interview with Al Arabiya that the actions of the Houthis are not separate from Iran's position. These actions are carried out under the orders of Iran and with Iranian weapons. Those involved are officers of the Revolutionary Guards and Hezb'allah.
Iran's goal in these operations is to negotiate around its specific interests, using the Houthis to create crises. The Iranian regime wants to enter into a defined deal and gain leverage through these actions.
The Western powers, however, are not interested in escalating the situation. They attempt to restrain the regime through diplomacy and dialogue, but this policy has failed. The tyrannical regime in Tehran only understands the language of force. The only way to stabilize the region is for the West to abandon appeasement policies. Silence in the face of the Iranian regime's arson will only expand the scope of the fire. The West can play a strong deterrent role. Targeting the root cause, the Iranian regime, is the most principled policy and the right strategy for peace in the Middle East.

This, of course, should be the aim and would be the aim of a sane, rational Commander-in-Chief with a Secretary of State and Joint Chiefs Chairman backing him all the way. But to say that we do not have that at this time is an understatement of massive proportions. Had we had those, we wouldn't even be in this predicament in the first place.

The goal of Prez Fog-Brain and the fools at Foggy Bottom has been to make Iran the dominant power in the Middle East, or at the very least act as a check against the State of Israel, the only liberal, western democracy in the entire region, and until now arguably one of our closest allies in the world. Kneecap, neutralize or even see Israel destroyed so that a dark age theocracy that believes and has as its central foreign policy aim, causing Armageddon as the run-up to eternal Islamic global dominance can be in the driver's seat.

Happy Kwanzaa, indeed.

So, Biden (and in point of fact Obama/Rice/Jarrett) are in a bit of a pickle. They're now forced into a confrontation with the very mullahs they've shipped billions of dollars and greased the skids of nuclear breakout for. It is to laugh, or would be if American servicemen's lives were not about to become cannon fodder or even risk a potential world war that would perhaps draw in the Chi-Coms, and possibly the Russians; at least their nuclear missiles.

Forget about the Abraham Accords, putting Iran on the ropes, finally taking on the Chi-Coms, along with the greatest domestic economic boom in a century. Trump said "pussy!" and "fight!" And he's "literally Hitler," which is kind of funny since quite a few of the younger generations are marching with their "Palestinian" friends (for now) in cheering on the second coming of Hitler to finish off the Jews. Tell them that and watch the aneurysms fly. Inshallah.

Meanwhile, in another part of the forest, John Fetterman continues to, if not impress, then certainly raise an eyebrow:

Carville has raised concerns about Biden’s chances to secure a reelection victory in 2024 because of the [so-called quote-unquote "president's] recent polling. Fetterman had an inflammatory response to Carville’s warnings, cursing him out and questioning his relevance in the interview, which was published Wednesday.
“There’s a whole lifetime in politics between now and next November as well. I’m not worried about that. And I’m very vocal about this, too, while there are Democrats that are being very critical about the president. … I’ll use this [as] another opportunity to tell James Carville to shut the fuck up,” Fetterman told Politico regarding Biden’s polling.

"Tell James Carville to shut the fuck up." Preach it, brother Fetterman!!! Of course, the reason he said it is something I don't support. But then again, considering the disaster of the past three years embodied in the nearly-embalmed Biden, which has supposedly cratered him in the polls across virtually every key must-have demographic, maybe this is Fetterman's version of a sort of "Operation Chaos?"

Look, I truly appreciate Fetterman's sincere and unequivocal support of Israel and condemnation of Hamas, much to the wetting of pants of the Maoist wing of the party, but I'm under no illusions that he is anything but at best a very extreme liberal. His protestations of not being a "progressive" I think are a political calculus on his part. It would be nice to believe that even he is moderating his stances, but I would caution against this unless and until he talks about abortion, the 2A and all the other issues in the same way he talks about Israel. We shall wait and see.

And speaking of Operation Chaos, Carville and Biden, is this a help or a hindrance?

Until 2023, Hillary’s career had been on one long downward slide. After she ran out of biographies to sell, she tried writing a children’s book, “Grandma’s Gardens” (which contrary to expectations was not about Vince Foster’s corpse turning up in Fort Marcy Park), then getting in on Chelsea’s racket of putting her name on collections of stories about feminist heroines (Greta Thunberg, Bella Abzug) and that failed, and then she tried to get in on Bill’s racket of putting his name on fictional thrillers about thinly disguised versions of himself with “State of Terror”.
In a career low, Hillary was reduced to marketing fanfic in which she’s struggling with “a Republican president nicknamed ‘President Dumb’ who pulls out of the Iran Deal and then goes to Florida to play golf” and still couldn’t get anyone to pick up a copy. That and trying to get people to buy memberships to Masterclass to listen to her talk about the “power of resilience” put her only a step above peddling Cameo clips side by side with George Santos.

Pause: Seriously, I take umbrage at this. Considering the Marianas Trench-depth of corruption, perversion, venality and will-to-power of 99% of everyone in government, George Santos is a paragon of virtue by comparison. And to put Hillary Clinton of all people (alleged) above him really is a cheap shot to say the least. Back to the action . . .

But 2024 looks like Hillary’s year.
When Argentina’s President Javier Milei arrived in New York City, he found Hillary Clinton there waiting for him. Instead of meeting with Biden or Secretary of State Blinken, the newly elected head of state met with a former secretary of state to discuss his country’s finances. A few weeks later, Hillary met with the families of Israeli hostages and blasted Netanyahu, claiming that he just cares about “politics and personal political survival” and told them to pressure the Israeli government to cut a deal. It was a return to form for Hillary, who hates the Israeli prime minister and boasted of being the “designated yeller” at him under Obama.
But the real question is why did anyone care what Hillary Clinton thought about anything? The answer, as usual, is power. It’s been quite a few years since Hillary had anything resembling power, but that’s no longer the case thanks to a former enemy: Joe Biden.
In 2015, Hillary had convinced Obama to sideline Biden in favor of her. Biden’s agreement not to run came after months of backbiting in which he spent entire meetings ranting about her. The only thing that could have changed his mind about her is his unpopularity inside his own party.
What has Biden worried most of all is not the general election, which will be fought on familiar ground, but the more serious threat that the Democrats might push him off the ticket. Unlike the Clintons and the Obamas, Biden never built a huge army of loyal operatives to protect him, and the closest thing that he has to a base is the Congressional Black Caucus. His allies managed to rig the DNC primaries, but that was before the polls showed he could lose in 2024.
Barack Obama despises Biden, didn’t back him in 2020 and has been undermining him now. David Axelrod, Obama’s consigliere, recently popped up to suggest that Biden may want to consider dropping out. So Biden knows better than to think that Obama will bail him out.
And that just leaves the Clintons. . .
. . . Biden may have once hated Hillary, but he has started turning into her. He’s a deeply unpopular and disliked establishment candidate whose main theme is that his opponent is Hitler. After watching multiple policy proposals crash and burn, his only path to the nomination is using the party’s machinery to intimidate or crush any opponents who might want to challenge him. This is Hillary territory.
The biggest problem with Joe Biden is that he wants money and people to pay attention to him, but he doesn’t actually stand for anything beyond some retail politicking. He turned over his first administration to Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Rep. Jim Clyburn to secure the support of the Left and the Congressional Black Caucus in the 2020 primaries. Now he’s mortgaging any possible future administration to the Clintons in the hopes of clinging to the ticket with the last shreds of his senility. Biden just wants to be out front, he doesn’t care who’s really running things.
And now the willing puppet has found someone else to pull his decaying strings. . .
. . . Biden’s odds of winning a normal election are poor, but between multiple indictments and trials, the odds are that this won’t be a normal election anyway. And Hillary may have something to add beyond the 2020 election legal battles. Some brainstorming hatched the idea of tying Trump to Russia. Who knows what malicious schemes may even now be brewing in her brain?
Hillary is a dangerous ally to have around and she may want something more than a piece of the action. If Democrats boot Biden, they have to decide who will replace him. Hillary was brought in to threaten existing candidates and those in waiting, like Gov. Gavin Newsom, but has she ever given up on the impossible dream of taking another shot at the White House?

This is very interesting speculation on the part of Daniel Greenfield and considering much of our government is populated by geriatric cases with one foot in the grave who refuse to give up power even unto death, and given Hillary's venality, bitterness and craven lust for absolute power, her throwing her soiled Depends into the ring is certainly within the realm of possibility.

It also sets up a battle royale between her and the Kalorama crowd. Hopefully, we don't get caught in that "Crossfire Hurricane."

11 The Wall Street Journal reported that the White House declassified information indicating the extent of Iranian regime’s support for the Houthis. The release of this information seems to be an attempt to create a basis for potential military action against the Houthis.

The Houthis are lunatic warlords who are engaging in piracy on the high seas. That alone is - and literally always been, since the genesis of trade on the high seas - a legitimate casus belli if you're looking for one.

++++
Which is why I doubt there will be a "confrontation." Or at least, I hope there isn't. Any belligerent engagement with Iran - be it military or diplomatic - is an engagement that our government simply does not want to win. If it goes for it anyway, defeat is assured because the *desire* is to be defeated. So if we do it, all it will do is get men killed and wealth destroyed. There is literally no point in engaging with Iran on those terms, and so I hope we don't do it.

39 But the real question is why did anyone care what Hillary Clinton thought about anything? The answer, as usual, is power. It’s been quite a few years since Hillary had anything resembling power, but that’s no longer the case thanks to a former enemy: Joe Biden.
++++
I think this is a wrong take.

What do Milei and Netanyahu have in common? They're both hated - furiously, passionately hated - by the United States government. As the hegemon, the US has to receive these people, but it really, really doesn't want to. The administration would rather drink chunky milk than breathe the same air as these guys.

So what to do? Why, slough them off on an also-ran who is a big name and has a diminished power network and no authority - someone who *looks* like a big wheel, but isn't.

This isn't some sort of return to influence for Hillary, it's Hillary being used as a diplomatic trash can.

82 >>It can be black rage, or white rage, or rural rage. In this case, it is rural rage. They are so angry at the liberal establishment, the coastal elite. They look at people on television, "Oh those people on 'Saturday Night Live,' those snarling rich kids, I know who they are. They are all trust funders. They don't worry about us."

84 So grateful for you JJ and AoS.

Trump sent one missile down the throat of the worlds leading terrorist(Soleimani) who was celebrated by Western Leftists rather than 20 year wars of blood and trillions of our wealth while our electrical grid suffers.

DeSantis and Haley - I reserve that RdS might realize his paymasters are evil - will simply heed their paymasters and go "War with Iran!".

Common sense Trump unleashed American hydrocarbon energy development which gave him the greates weapon of all: economic leverage which neutered ALL of our enemies. Except the UniParty which kicked him out of orifice.

85 I think one of my local news anchors is based, but I'm not sure. I usually forget to turn subtitles/captions off on my TV, and so I see the captions when I tune in. I long ago figured out that the captions aren't real, and also aren't generated through speech recognition. The captions are piped in by tapping the teleprompter. I see what the anchor sees.

Today, there was a story about a violent drunk driver who smashed through some cars and then hit a Jersey barrier. A bystander who happened to be an off-duty cop ran over to provide first aid when the driver beat him down and put him in the hospital.

The caption on the story summary was, "{name} was arrested by the county sheriff" - but the newsreader said, "{name} was arrested by the country sheriff, and is being held for ICE."

102 Right now the Israelis do not think Hezbollah will enter the war, as long as Jerusalem continues to respond as fiercely as it has been doing to each Hezbollah salvo.

Hezbollah claims it isn't attacking Israel in deference to Hamas, but the real reason is because they see what is happening to Hamas and do not want to also be destroyed.

The lesson here is do not do what Biden junta does and be weak, instead be stronger than your enemies and they will fear you.

It would seriously escalate the problems on the Arabian Peninsula and the KSA would more less be compelled to formally invade Yemen if it happens. That is a reason to do it if you happen to want Iran to be the regional hegemon and so need to both elevate Iran *and* reduce the KSA to prevent a clash of major players.

My hypothesis FWIW...I think China has a couple of operating bases in country, and they're in collaboration with Iran to use the Houthis as a proxy. If the KSA were to go in, there would need to be some kind of ability to support the KSA from offshore to prevent China (and Iran) from defending their bases. China owns Bai-Den and this is why the US has not made any serious attempts to suppress the Houthi attacks. Money to Iran is just the JEF and his minions keeping the Iranian effort alive.

187 Saints of the Day:
The Holy Innocents are the children mentioned in the account of Jesus' birth in Matthew's Gospel (2:16-1

. When the Magi came to Jerusalem to adore the Baby Jesus, King Herod ordered that they inform him of the Child's location. After paying the Child homage and offering Him their gifts, the Wise Men were warned in a dream not to betray Jesus' location, and departed for their home country by another route. Meanwhile the Holy Family was warned by an Angel to flee into Egypt. King Herod flew into a jealous rage over the Magi's failure to report back to him. He ordered all the baby boys aged two and under to be killed, according to the appearance of the Bethlehem Star to the Three Wise Men, in an attempt to kill the Baby Jesus. These baby boys died not only for Christ, but in his stead. The Church venerates them as martyrs. It it is uncertain how many children were killed, whether a small number, or in the thousands. The Latin Church instituted the feast of the Holy Innocents in the fifth century. The Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls in Rome is believed to possess the bodies of several of the Holy Innocents. Their feast day is commemorated on December 28th.

Same with MSNBC. NBC owns enough other channels that they don't have to make money from MSNBC. So, they use it as the unofficial DNC channel. Recall that they had a daily 1 hour health news show hosted by Dr. Nancy Snyderman that ran from the start of the Obamacare process through it becoming law, then the show ended, They had a weeknight All Sharpton show, Obama's designated liaison to the black community, that ran during Obama's presidency, then it went away. Regarding SNL, since at least 2008, SNL will do a uber-political skit based on that week's events, and the that skit will be shown on every MSNBC show, every hour for the next few days, kicking off a discussion about why [this hated Republican] is so awful, or this [Democrat's policy] is so obviously correct so GOP should stop preventing it blah blah blah.

231 On the campaign trail recently Trump refers to Haley as birdbrain and called her disloyal and Don Jr has been saying he will do whatever it takes to make sure Haley is not on the ticket.

233 A modified ONT comment for the day walkers.

My surgery at 4 PM yesterday went very well. The surgeon was ebullient afterwards. I was released and home within 2.5 hours.

Just before I went to sleep. I realized I had posted on the ONT with the annual report of foreign objects removed from the bodies of stupid and bored people.

Well, I am not bored. So the surgery did not involve a foreign object removed from my body.

284 Democratic strategist Simon Rosenberg on Tuesday pushed back against the sentiment that the Democratic Party will be outmaneuvered in the 2024 election, arguing the strength of President Biden’s record is underestimated while former President Trump’s “baggage” will cost the GOP the election.

As long as Trump is on the ballot, I don't see how he can lose. If trump is forced to drop out for some reason, I think Joe has vulnerabilities the gop can successfully exploit.

Exactly. Someone like Nikki scares me a lot more than chump. Thankfully, as a woman and non white...the manly men of the gqp will never vote for her.

IIRC, she won the governorship in South Carolina. A person doesn't do that without appealing to lots of "the manly men"

Don't you realize how much any non-Trump Republican candidate will depress Republican turnout? Whatever gains might possibly be made by grabbing a few more Independents and "never Trump" Republicans would be more than offset by pouting MAGATS voting for Trump anyway (even if he's dead) or staying home in droves.

The Trump analysis almost sounds like AoS, but the Haley stuff...lol

Trump is the anti-GOP establishment candidate. If he is the nominee which seems to be where we are headed then at some point there will need to be some deal making with the establishment despite the fact they don't like each other.

I'm sure the establishment will push to have one of theirs on the ticket. I think Trump is smart enough to know that makes him vulnerable in a lot of ways not the least of which is another establishment run impeachment should he get elected.

Despite all they have thrown at him Trump has only gotten stronger. I think he knows the game pretty well by now.

Vivek is the only other candidate running as an America First candidate. It can be argued Vivek brings youth to the ticket, I don't see any of the others adding much.

I can just as easily see Trump picking someone who supports his platform and isn't part of the island of misfit toys currently running against him.

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

The government - like the Ivies - is too smart by half in all things it touches.

In 2015, CSIS published, America's Failed Approach to Chaos Theory. (The Complexity Crisis in US Strategy.)

There's a bit of a break (changes, including dealing with ISIS) in U.S. strategy, 2017-2021, but how many changes can be made when the chaos is intentionally turned in-country? Heh. We then rehire the same clowns running things prior years to ensure a continued failure in a majority of foreign policy issues. F**king brilliant.

And our clowns do Afghanistan, form or continue very costly alliances with The Servant of the People (UK Guardian, 3 Oct '21, Revealed: ‘anti-oligarch’ Ukrainian president’s offshore connections) and Iran.

Help's on the way!?? WH Briefing Room, 27 December 2023:
Presidential Actions: Letter to the Speaker of the House and President pro tempore of the Senate consistent with the War Powers Resolution (Public Law 93-14

AND ALSO

Statement & Releases: Statement from National Security Advisor Sullivan Welcoming Appointment of Sigrid Kaag as UN Senior Humanitarian and Reconstruction Coordinator for Gaza.

Hilliary? Works quite well in conjunction with the Fetterman, i.e, Haaretz|World News, Nov. '16: Clinton Won Overwhelming Majority of Jewish-American Vote, Polls Say.

The Jewish vote AND $ is needed in Pennsylvania, possibly other states. (But definitely PA.)

And, our borders = more theater by this administration. Months ago, articles such as, CBS News: 'As cities struggle to house migrants, Biden administration resists proposals that officials say could help.' They're creating this crisis and then will dump a shitload of $ on the big Dem cities that got too familiar with the 'extra' C19 funding & announce a 'national' housing plan & work permit program. (Who decides what classes of border jumpers go where is concerning.)

Synced timing for the Presidential campaign, of course.

BTW, watch POV: How to have an American baby, and read up on DHS Issues Guidance for Stateless Noncitizens in the United States, Release Date: August 1, 2023.

There's so much more to our immigration problem than they'll ever deal with, imo. We'll never stop paying one way or the other.
