The Morning Report — 3/11/24

Good morning, kids. Once again, it's a link-a-palooza to start off the week. While Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants and whoever is pulling his strings are the common denominator in all of it, the major action involves international affairs. And once again, the abject, blind, ideologically-driven, self-hating fools at Foggy Bottom that undergird the rank incompetence and criminality of the junta are fumbling and exacerbating yet another crisis, this time right in our own hemisphere.

The U.S. military said Sunday that it had flown forces in to beef up security at the U.S. Embassy in Haiti and allow nonessential personnel to leave.

The aircraft flew to the embassy compound, the U.S. Southern Command said, meaning that the effort involved helicopters. It was careful to point out that “no Haitians were on board the military aircraft.” That seemed aimed at quashing any speculation that senior government officials might be leaving as the gang attacks in Haiti worsen.

The neighborhood around the embassy in the capital, Port-au-Prince, is largely controlled by gangs. . .

. . . Haiti’s embattled prime minister, Ariel Henry, traveled recently to Kenya to push for the U.N.-backed deployment of a police force from the East African country to fight the gangs. But a Kenyan court ruled in January that such a deployment would be unconstitutional.

Henry, who is facing calls to resign or form a transitional council, remains unable to return home. He arrived in Puerto Rico on Tuesday after he was unable to land in the Dominican Republic, which borders Haiti. . . Henry, a neurosurgeon, was appointed as Haiti’s prime minister after the July 2021 assassination of President Jovenel Moise.

I could play devil's advocate here since Haiti has been an absolute basket case of a third world shit-hole since forever. While the situation as it stands may not be the Biden Junta's fault, since corruption, grinding poverty and criminality there have been historically endemic, it was Hillary and Bill Clinton who did more to make the rubble bounce there than anyone else. In the wake of the disastrous 2010 earthquake, nearly $14 billion dollars were sent to the island ostensibly to rebuild, create jobs and kickstart the economy. To this day there has never been an accounting of even one dime of that money, and Haitians are poorer than ever. Now with heavily armed street gangs on the verge of toppling the current government. I guess, this is the "initiative" part of the Clinton Global Initiative.
See here and also here.

The Clintons quite literally goniffed billions of dollars supposedly meant to help the people of Haiti who instead suffered even worse starvation when they weren't being raped and robbed by roving gangs of criminals and/or government-backed "Ton-Ton Macoute" death squads.

It takes a village pillage . . .

Meanwhile, in the Middle East, Joey and cackling Kamala chlamydia are making a horrid situation exponentially worse and potentially more dangerous by orders of magnitude, not only because of the fear of alienating their voter base in Dearbornistan, Mogadishu-appolis and their hardcore Marxist base, but just their plain old, everyday, garden variety Jew hatred.

After Old Joe Biden’s ranting, rabidly partisan declaration of war against half the country, also known as his State of the Union address, the figurehead Commander-In-Chief huddled with Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, and another sycophant, and boasted about the pressure he was putting on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: “I told him, Bibi, and don’t repeat this, but you and I are going to have a ‘come to Jesus’ meeting.” Calculated disrespect? Galloping dementia? We’ll likely never know, for, as usual, the leftist press corps is too busy propping up Old Joe to look into anything that might cast him in a negative light.

When Biden realized that what he was saying was going out to a watching world, he doubled down: “I’m on a hot mic here. Good. That was good.” Nor was this the first time that Old Joe appeared to be casting his contentious relationship with Netanyahu in religious terms. Last September, when Old Joe Biden finally invited the Israeli prime minister to the White House, after refusing to do so for nearly nine months while his regime did everything it could to undermine him, the two sat down for their first chat of Biden’s alleged presidency. As the leader of the world’s lone Jewish state began speaking, Old Joe bizarrely took the opportunity to make the sign of the cross. . .

. . . So is Old Joe in the habit of making the sign of the cross when thinking about those whom he hates and wishes to destroy? Is that what is on his mind when he thinks of Netanyahu? It’s noteworthy in this connection that during his State of the Union address, Biden claimed that “more than 30,000 Palestinians have been killed.” The source for this wildly inflated number is Hamas. If Old Joe is willing to take the claims of his fellow serial liars in Hamas at face value, is it any wonder that he would let slip a clear indication that the first thing he thinks of when he thinks of Netanyahu is “Jew,” and not in a positive manner?

Thankfully, Bibi's not having any of it.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made clear Sunday that he would be willing to ignore [so-called quote-unquote "president"] Biden’s “red line” and go forward with an invasion of Rafah as the Jewish state continues its military campaign in Gaza.

Israel has faced heightened scrutiny as the death toll in the Palestinian enclave continues to rise to at least 30,000, according to Hamas-backed health officials.

In an MSNBC interview Saturday, Biden said he was against further fighting in Rafah and called an invasion of the area a “red line” — but then quickly backtracked to say there was no red line.

“It is a red line, but I’m never going to leave Israel,” Biden said. “The defense of Israel is still critical. So there’s no red line [in which] I’m going to cut off all weapons so they don’t have the Iron Dome to protect them.”

Netanyahu said he didn’t care if Biden was in favor military action in Rafah, and pointed to the Oct. 7 massacre that killed 1,200 Israelis and saw more 200 kidnapped.

“We’ll go there. We’re not going to leave,” Netanyahu said in an interview with Politico’s parent company Axel Springer. “You know, I have a red line. You know what the red line is, that Oct. 7 doesn’t happen again.”

The Israeli leader also told the publication he had quiet support from several Arab leaders to press forward with Israel’s war on Hamas.

“They understand Hamas is part of the Iranian terror axis,” he said.

I would say we all know the value of an Obama/Biden "red line" given how Basher Assad flipped them the bird in Syria back in 2013 by his use of chemical weapons during that country's civil war. But this is Israel. Hated Israel. Hated Jews. And the aforementioned fear of alienating Muslims and their hardcore Marxist allies here in the States might cause them to actually blunder us into an incredibly dangerous confrontation.

As a thirty-four-year veteran of the United States Navy, I unfortunately have seen first-hand the good, the bad, and the ugly of the execution of America’s foreign policy, in many cases altruistic by design but either poorly executed or impacted by outside forces that caused the loss of many American servicemen and women’s lives.

The 1983 Bombing of the Marine Corps Barracks in Beirut Lebanon  is a prime example of good intentions where America’s policy makers placed American’s in harms way in an untenable situation.  Consequently two truck bombs struck buildings in Beirut, Lebanon, housing American and French service members of the Multinational Force in Lebanon (MNF), a military peacekeeping operation during the Lebanese Civil War. The attack killed 307 people: 241 U.S. and 58 French military personnel, six civilians, and two attackers and ultimately lead to the untimely withdrawal of the MNF. End result -- peacekeepers died in vain, and peace was not achieved. . .

. . . Fast forward to 2024 where the Biden [junta] attempted to  provide humanitarian supplies to the people of Gaza by air drop which resulted in the death of civilians on the ground. We have now learned that the next phase if to provide relief supplies by sea which will necessitate the deployment of DoD's Joint Logistics Over-the-Shore capability, or JLOTS.

Again, another concept that may be easier to plan on paper than to execute in a war zone where food is used as a weapon by Hamas to maintain power over its citizens.  I am sure that, as in the examples cited above, there may be unintended consequences resulting in the loss of American lives.

Yes, we have seen this movie before, and it has not ended well. However, let’s hope that this one is different, but based on our experience at Abbey Gate during out botched withdrawal from Afghanistan I suspect the ending may be the same.

For sure, Hamas is no doubt well aware of our insane "rules of engagement" whenever American troops are deployed, either for combat operations or humanitarian relief. Even without a wave of IEDs and other Islam-ikaze type attacks that no doubt will happen, not one grain of rice will wind up in the mouths of innocent non-combatant "civilians," who in point of fact are anything but, as eyewitness accounts of the barbarism and butchery of 10/7 have revealed.

What this aid will do is preserve the fighting ability of the Hamas terrorists, which is antithetical to the mission of the IDF to wipe them out. And that puts the hapless US GI and Marine who lands in Gaza in direct opposition to the strategic mission of Israel. You almost have to believe that Biden actually wants to provoke a shooting war with the IDF purely for what he perceives as political advantage in the run-up to this November.

That is flat out insanity, dementia or no dementia, because it's that mutt-eating mutt Obama that is directing this behind the scenes.

And speaking of corruption and thug-ocracy, perhaps we shouldn't be so critical of Haiti considering this kind of shit is happening right here.

FDNY Commissioner Laura Kavanagh promised to “hunt down” pro-Trump staffers who booed New York Attorney General Letitia James during a Thursday ceremony.

FDNY Chief of Department John Hodges warned others in the agency via email that the department’s Bureau of Investigation and Trials would identify who participated in the dissatisfied chants that James received at the event, according to the New York Post. . .

. . . Video posted on social media showed the crowd chanting “Trump” repeatedly as James was speaking on stage. Memos and emails that appear to be from the Uniformed Fire Officers Association (UFOA) and Uniformed Firefighters Association also circulated on social media, stating that the chanting was inappropriate to do “on the job’s time” and that participating FDNY employees “must do better.”

An FDNY retiree expressed his frustration with the department’s response.

“It was a political stunt for the city to have the AG there. When it backfired, they sent their fascist pit bulls after guys for exercising their First Amendment rights,” the unidentified FDNY retiree told the outlet. “Most were off-duty and not in FDNY uniform.”

"Fascist pit bulls" is exactly who is running this government and criminal justice system, my friend. Look what happened at that vile Klan rally disguised as a SOTU speech:

Steven Nikoui disrupted Biden’s speech and was arrested. His arrest came with a $50 bail and the prospect of a $500 fine or jail time, according to the New York Post. House Republicans are calling for the charges to be dropped as they pointed out the injustice of penalizing a father’s outcry over a personal and national tragedy. Republican Florida Rep. Mike Waltz has also offered to pay the fines related to the incident.

Nikoui’s son, Marine Lance Cpl. Kareem Nikoui, died in the 2021 ISIS-K suicide bombing amid the chaotic evacuation from Kabul. The attack killed 13 service members, and this prompted a relentless quest for answers and accountability, according to the New York Post. . .

. . . After posting his bail, Nikoui was greeted with overwhelming support at the Dubliner Restaurant in Washington, D.C. Fellow Gold Star families rallied around Nikoui, and applauded his courage. Gold Star father Darin Hoover detailed Nikoui’s ordeal to the New York Post. “He was taken out in handcuffs,” Hoover told the New York Post. “And so we all sat there and waited and waited and waited — and gave him a hero’s welcome when he came in.”

And we're surprised about roving gangs in Haiti set to topple yet another corrupt kleptocracy?

Feh.

Finally, a hearty vayr ge hargit to both Candace Owens and the even worse example of Jew-hatred in the form of self-gassing Yid Jonathan Glazer.

71 The aircraft flew to the embassy compound, the U.S. Southern Command said, meaning that the effort involved helicopters. It was careful to point out that “no Haitians were on board the military aircraft.” That seemed aimed at quashing any speculation that senior government officials might be leaving as the gang attacks in Haiti worsen.

++++
So he's assuming that the operation will be technically successful, but ultimately result in policy failure just like it does in Africa, because the warlords will feed themselves and their soldiers instead of "civilians."

He doesn't seem concerned that the technical side of the operation could fail. When is the last time we did a real amphibious landing? Vietnam? How many men in the Forces are actually skilled at such an operation anymore? What if the landing is contested?

I think Netanyahu will blink and will not contest the landing, but if he makes a different choice, it could change the math on this operation pretty dramatically.

Thank the movie gods because for the first time in too long and after more than few false starts, the Oscars didn’t just celebrate movies tonight, it celebrated putting on a show about celebrating movies.

Hollywood’s biggest night was made for the small screen this year with movies that people have actually seen on stage. At the same time, Guns’n’Roses’ Slash showing up to add his stadium sized guitar licks to Ryan Gosling’s star studded, pyrotechnics packed and delightfully over the top Barbie performance of “I’m Just Ken” showed American Idol and The Voice just how it’s meant to be done.

The people of Gaza chose to give things over to Hamas. Israel didn't do that, Gaza did. In a UN-monitored election.

Hamas then dismantled democratic processes and took over as warlords, as they said they would and for which the people of Gaza voted.

266 Why? Energy conservation during the Great War.

Why Daylight Savings Time?

Many think that daylight saving time was conceived to give farmers an extra hour of sunlight to till their fields, but this is a common misconception. In fact, farmers have long been opposed to springing forward and falling back, since it throws off their usual harvesting schedule. 
The real reasons for daylight saving are based on energy conservation and a desire to match daylight hours to the times when most people are awake. The idea dates back to 1895 when entomologist George Vernon Hudson unsuccessfully proposed an annual two-hour time shift to the Royal Society of New Zealand.

This is my favorite Hollywood disconnect. Hot chicks let it all hang out on the Red Carpet and for the talk show cameras, but they sure don't want to attract the Dread Male Gaze in the movies and TV shows themselves.

It's actually kind of perfect. You can go dress like a whore in real life and be celebrated for it because it draws eyeballs and buzz, but do it in a movie and you're deeply problematic because then it's "objectification of women." There's perhaps no better example of this than "Madame Web."

It really is. Fashion designers are the oldest professional trolls in the world. The fashion industry has been populated with real-life shitposters for centuries.

Sure, her stupid dress shows off her tits from the side, but from the front it's a lumpy wall that looks stupid. It looks stupid from the side, too, but at least there are tits to distract you from it. She manages to look like a woman, but only so long as you don't look at the front. It's laughably stupid and the fashion designer is laughing all the way to the bank.

You could make a pretty strong case for Belgium. It's only a pseudo-real country, but it has all the trapping and has sustained for a goodly while.

How many more lives to be lost? CAN Ukraine achieve the stated goal of pushing Russia out of Ukrainian territory? Most believe the answer is no.

Till the last Orc is pushing up sunflowers. That's how many.

An essential part of any deal MUST be NATO membership.

Ukraine will lose only if MAGA Republicans cut off U.S. aid - Max Boot. “Russia’s firepower dominance will potentially diminish” in 2025 as it runs low on ammunition stockpiles. If those estimates are accurate, then Ukraine just has to survive this year before the tide might start to turn again. “Ukraine’s prospects are grim but hardly fatal,” retired Australian major general Mick Ryan told me.

337 >>"Ramadan is a month of love and kindness between Muslims, and not between Muslims and infidels."

Reminder: Hamas attacked during a Jewish holiday. Shemini Atzeret / Simchat Torah in 2023 was sunset of Friday, October 6 through nightfall of Sunday, October 8.

The holiday of Sukkot is followed by an independent holiday called Shemini Atzeret. In Israel, this is a one-day holiday; in the Diaspora it is a two-day holiday, and the second day is known as Simchat Torah. This holiday is characterized by utterly unbridled joy, which reaches its climax on Simchat Torah, when we celebrate the conclusion—and restart—of the annual Torah-reading cycle.

These two days constitute a major holiday (yom tov), when most forms of work are prohibited. On the preceding nights, women and girls light candles, reciting the appropriate blessings, and we enjoy nightly and daily festive meals, accompanied by kiddush. We don’t go to work, drive, write, or switch on or off electric devices. We are permitted to cook and to carry outdoors (unless it is also Shabbat).

Muslims have always enjoyed attacking during Christian and Jewish holidays. Enough of this "no attacks during Ramadan" BS.

389 Allow me to correct that quote by Eric Price of Blackwater

“We need to bring this war to a close because all both sides are doing right now is destroying themselves demographically. They’re chewing up the next generation of Russian and Ukrainian manpower..."

Russia, China and the US (before massive immigration) were in the process of having a demographic collapse.

I just don't see how Russia will be in any position in 5 years to attack any part of NATO, unless NATO self-destructs.

390 Now here's another annoyance about "Saving Time": The Morning Report is an hour less fresh by the time I get to it (still living on standard/sun/God's time).

And what is Joe Biden doing with Perfesser Squirrel's hat?

Oh, I see AZ deplorable moron beat me to that one. See? Later to the party, non-prime on the Horde synapses. FDST.

391 What that Fox head line (and the story) does not tell you is the girl assaulted is white and the people doing the assaulting were black.

392 Ha Ha Ha funny stuff. From Quebec possibly?

English 'doesn't exist' and is just badly pronounced French, linguist claims. Doesn't matter how you pronounce it but F U is not the same in French.

I met a Frenchman (from France) who had traveled to Quebec.
He said .. "they don't speak French. it's some kind of 18th century dialect of French"

‘ I have no doubt they are cooking up a manner of cheating we've never seen before,’

The leftists have a vulnerability here. They have to know how many votes they lost by. That’s why the steal happened over days in 2020. They had mail in ballots staged but needed time to launder them as legitimate looking votes.
If Biden’s vote deficits are say twice as big as in 2020 the cheaters will need more process time.

“I’m on a hot mic here. Good. That was good.” A well staged production (that took how many days in Camp David to pull off?) & I thought his hot mic minute was every bit as scripted as the rest of his conversations & speech-
USA News, in part, "One Republican at the speech, Rep. Ashley Hinson of Iowa, was seen wearing a pin that said “Bring them Home.”

On the other side, a number of progressive women, members of the “squad,” came to the chamber donning a Palestinian keffiyeh, the black and white checkered scarves that have come to symbolize solidarity with Palestinians — and Reps. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan & Cori Bush of Missouri, held signs that read “Lasting Ceasefire Now.”

They sat quietly. Only MTG & Mr. Nikoui disrupted the speech & both of their outcries appeared to have been anticipated by the administration, but he arrest of Mr. Nikoui was shocking.

NY Post, Mar 9, 2024, Gold Star mom blasts ex’s ‘complete BS’ arrest for heckling Biden at SOTU over Marine son’s death, calls prez ‘a failure.’ "Chappell said she “absolutely” blames Biden for Kareem’s death - as well as the subsequent suicide of his of brother his brother, Dakota Halverson, 28, in August 2022."

402 Kimmel owned Trump by reading his ridiculous, illiterate post on his crap social media site while hosting the Oscar's. Raucous fun and laughter was had in mocking a fool.

403 "The neighborhood around the embassy in the capital, Port-au-Prince, is largely controlled by gangs. . ."

ah, democrat prerequisite, welcome our 51st state folks

404 Biden already flew the the government officials out of Haiti before the gangs took over. Get with it! Why do you think it was so easy for the gangs to take over the country? Another embassy lost and country destroyed. There must be some grift in the works for the Clinton Foundation to build it back up.

405 Steven Nikoui also lost another son due to Biden. His younger son grew so despondent over his idolized Marine brother that he committed suicide at his grave.

406 I remember the expression as "vay gehagit" (pronounced "vega hoggit". My grandmother used it frequently.

Alternatively, you could use "cock zey un", which is comparable to what Dick Cheney used on Patrick Leahy all those years ago.
