The Morning Report — 5/1/24

lawvslore.jpg

Good morning, kids. So, the ransacking of Columbia University by mobs of rabid, brainwashed, bloodthirsty America-haters and Jew-haters I guess was a bridge too far for the powers that be. No, not the murderous incitements of in-your-face Jew-hatred and America hatred, but that normal, average, sane Americans watching it would not be convinced that it was kids being kids, a shining example of the expression of First Amendment rights or even the moral equivalent of the Children's Crusade peacefully protesting tyranny and oppression.

Worse, they would attach the blame directly to the rotting vegetable-in-chief and his henchfiends in DC as well as wonder just what in the hell $90,000 a year gets them in terms of an education for their little darlings, sort of in the same way parents peeked in on the sexual perversion and anti-American bilge being force-fed their kids via remote learning during the lockdowns – all during an election year where Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants and perhaps a large portion of the Democrat ticket face a bloodbath – Bloodbath! – at the polls this November, even with the expected out-the-wazoo election fraud.

Meanwhile, about a mile north of Columbia at CCNY, the cops cleared out that impromptu hive of scum and villainy, pulled down the shit-stained rag of a "Palestinian" flag and restored the Stars and Stripes. This gave the estimable Daniel Greenfield a warm and fuzzy feeling:

I’ve written quite a bit since 9/11 about where I expected the growing battle between America and Islamic terrorists to go, but this is still a stunning moment. There’s the NYPD reclaiming a portion of a New York City campus, lowering a terror flag and raising the American flag again. There are echoes here of the flag at Ground Zero and of the Star-Spangled Banner.

This is literally a battle for our country being fought on college campuses between the NYPD and Islamic terrorists and their Marxist allies. It’s all the more stunning in contrast to what’s going on in Los Angeles at UCLA.No one in the LAPD is talking in these terms. The LAPD is refusing to answer calls from people under attack by Hamas supporters. As bad as Mayor Eric Adams and the NYPD may be in some ways, they’re still fighting where most police forces in liberal cities have surrendered or switched sides.

We will remember moments like this in the years to come and they may well define the final outcome.

It's nice to feel optimistic, and I too always attempt to grasp at any scintilla of light when all around us is darkness. But I have to remind Greenfield and all of us that despite the iconic imagery of the firefighters hoisting an American flag over the smoldering ruins of the Twin Towers, and Dubya declaring that "those who did this will soon hear from all of us!," in the end look what happened since then? Scores of Islamic terrorist attacks here and all over the world, the rapid division of our nation into two camps accelerated and exacerbated by the arrival of Obama, and the exposure of Dubya as yet another western dupe and fraud when it came to identifying Islam as the enemy. Instead he declared we were not at war with Islam.

In fact, he allowed a flood of Muslims into the country as penance. For what? I don't know. Now take a look at places like Dearborn and Minneapolis and several other places around the nation that are rapidly turning into their own version of European "no-go zones" where sharia law rules "uber alles."

And don't look now, but with Israel likely primed to finish off Hamas, the Kalorama Klown Komintern has one final "V" weapon they are desperate to use so as not to lose their Muslim/Maoist minions at the polls.

Top Biden officials have been considering relocating certain Palestinian refugees from Gaza to within the United States if they have immediate family members who are American citizens or permanent residents, according to CBS News. Those who qualify for the United States refugee status would reportedly qualify for several benefits such as permanent residency, housing assistance and a potential avenue to American citizenship.

One of the plans reportedly being considered would enact the United States Refugee Admissions Program and bring Gaza refugees to the United States if they have “ties” to the country. If the Biden administration decides on a plan, it would require coordination with Egypt to execute such matters, CBS News reported.

In the United States, in order to qualify as a refugee, an individual must be able to prove that they are seeking to flee based on persecution of nationality, religion or political views, CBS News reported.

Perfect! Mollify the base by both bringing in another tidal wave of sponges and leeches dependent on Uncle Sugar, eager to help in the destruction of whatever's left of our culture, and further the meme of Israel as an oppressor nation. Yup. Perfect. As in a perfect nightmare.

As to Daniel Greenfield's rosy optimism, I'm more inclined towards Michael Goodwin's less than rosy analysis of what the ejection of Columbia's micturating matriculating Marxists will mean going forward:

Although the NYPD was finally allowed to do its job at Columbia University, it would be a mistake to believe the disgraceful episode is over.  After all, the pro-Hamas stooges, the complicit faculty and the quisling administrators are still jockeying for power. With graduation still two weeks away, it’s too early to declare a winner.

Start with the radical students. They set up a camp in the middle of the famous quad and day-after-day chanted slogans that revealed an allegiance to terrorists. They harassed Jewish students and their commitment to the elimination of Israel marks the resurgence of an ancient hatred in a city that has long been a safe haven for Jews. What are the students reading in their fetid tents — “Mein Kampf”?

. . . The insufferable rebels without a legitimate cause believed they should suffer no consequences for violating college rules and the rights of their fellow students, and for actively supporting the eradication of the Jewish state. Think about that. They are calling for genocide, making them guilty of the very thing they accuse Israel of committing, while depriving others of their right to an education and a sense of physical safety.

Yet they don’t think they’ve done anything wrong! Such a stunning combination of ignorance and arrogance is more than enough justification to give them the boot. And don’t forget the members of the faculty who helped incite this disaster. The indoctrination of students in a mud-bath of hatred against Israel has been a fixture at Columbia for decades, and supposed scholars added to their complicity by surrounding the tent camp as if to protect it from police. They were happy to preen for the cameras, so the self-incriminating evidence against them is overwhelming, too. Tenured radicals indeed. . .

. . . Although the agitators’ claim that they are entitled to escape any consequences reflects a national culture that extends well beyond the college gates, that can’t be an excuse for Columbia to duck its duty. Quite the contrary. The necessity to impose tough penalties makes this what the left calls a teachable moment.

The lesson must be that misconduct comes with a price. The more serious the misconduct, the heavier the price.

All very true, but Goodwin only hints at the real root cause of the problem. Corruption of our entire society that began with the Democrats 200-plus year will to power and the "progressives" who glommed onto them – all supercharged by the hijacking of academia that started over 80 years ago with the likes of the Frankfurt School refugees, Horace Mann, John Dewey and others who took Lenin's words to heart:

"Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted."

Well, they've had a lot more than four as you can see by our house divided, on fire, and collapsing in all around us.

As CBD and I discussed with our friend Michael Walsh on the latest podcast, perhaps this is the wakeup call we need to claw our way back.

The only way forward is the complete eradication and full on purge of every professor, teacher and administrator that teaches this crap to our kids, the First Amendment be damned. And then we can try to deprogram and denazify three generations of pod people posing as American citizens and prevent subsequent generations from their fate, and doing us in once and for all. Inshalla, right?

    Uhmm, no, the new reality is that fewer people overall go to see movies.

    Maybe, but I believe the majority of Americans have opposed this nonsense all along. Who doesn't oppose this are our elected officials - regardless of what they claim on the campaign trail and, perhaps more importantly, the embedded permanent bureaucracy who actually rule the country.

    Until, and unless, we take a figurative axe to governments, this will not change.

    But now, our political opponents (at least some) have openly embraced Hamas… and honestly I see no moral difference between Nazis and Hamas. If you gave Hamas the power that Hitler had there would be another holocaust. Am I wrong? So I find it uncomfortable, but I’m thinking it would be accurate to point at the other side and shout “Nazi!”…. This is when you realize debate is pointless….

    94 good morning JJ, Horde

    So LAPD is turning a deaf ear to the wrong kind of emergency call ... duly noted.

    Many moons ago, I went to a conservative event in D.C. Leftists mobbed it, and pushed a grandma down the stone steps.

    911 dispatch hung up when frantic staffers called for help.

    Metro PD let the animals run free. Because, one cop said, if they started making arrests, they'd riot.

A man stepped in and wrestled the toddler away from the dog, who kept trying to attack the child, then both of them. The guy ended up putting the child on top of a car roof, then climbing up there himself, as the dog circled the car trying to get to them.

    That was a dog who needed to be put down then and there.

Would love to see her win but Arizona has become a very difficult state for republicans. Especially MAGA republicans….

    165 I saw a nasty video this morning of a dog attacking a young toddler. It went on for quite a few minutes. A man stepped in and wrestled the toddler away from the dog, who kept trying to attack the child, then both of them. The guy ended up putting the child on top of a car roof, then climbing up there himself, as the dog circled the car trying to get to them.

    That was a dog who needed to be put down then and there.

    185 Progressive Democrats Contemplate Eliminating Reporting for Suspected Child Abuse
    ++++
    Terse headline. Let's see what it means, if anything.

    The state’s requirement that certain professionals tell officials when they suspect a child has been abused or neglected was among the first mandatory reporting laws in the nation. ...

    That's what I thought. "Certain professionals." Who are "certain professionals?" Doctors of various kinds including shrinks, priests, teachers, social workers, cops, druggists, media producers, etc. That's most of them.

    So why bother changing the law? It's not like the left is suddenly worried about the slippery slope of compelled speech. This is to remove mandatory reporting from a handful of places that have not been totally subverted already. Nobody will raise an eyebrow if a teacher, cop or social workers fails to report. They *might* if a doctor or priest does.

    My guess is that the rationale is removing the requirement will allow those operators in the non-fully-subverted sectors to spread their cancer. There are bad priests and doctors, and the rule-change helps reduce the risks they face and lets them remain in place as enablers.

    • bored, aimless, worthless individuals,
    • true believers (as opposed to just highly mimetic)

    This is what a society of Nihilism, Arrogance and Ignorance leads to. What is happening is pursuit of luxury grievances merged with true 5th generation warfare conducted by foreign interests and kleptoligarchs looking for more power and money.

    Yes.

    Judaism is a religion. Jews practice it (and are born into or converted into it). Zionism is a more recent movement (19th century) that wanted to found a "new" Jewish homeland (read: state) in biblical Israel - approximately in the British Palestine Mandate. Post-1948, "Zionism" has essentially become synonymous with "defense of the State of Israel's survival and diplomatic legitimacy."

    Zionists are probably Jews but they needn't be, and vice-versa. Judaism is theological, spiritual, cultural and ethnic. Zionism is political. There is overlap.

    The Party takes care of the INOs in their midst. The Republicans thwart, disparage and destroy people like Gaetz, and the Democrats thwart, disparage and destroy people like Fetterman.

    In the Senate, it's easier to survive as an INO because the margins are so tight that the Party sometimes needs the caucus numbers enough to offset the thirst for retribution against INOs. It's one of the reasons Rand Paul has survived - they need him to round out the numbers, and he only has a couple of areas where he goes off the reservation. Fetterman will probably land in the same position.

That goes against most "religions" but I kept hearing about zionists and Jewish, and didn't realize the distinction.

    That's on purpose. There is a distinction in fact, but not really one in rhetoric. "I hate those dirty Jews" is still politically incorrect. "Those nasty Zionists need to be destroyed" is not, and it also lets them cast a wider net to include their most-hated group: practicing Christians (many of whom are also Zionists and, like the Jews, it can be for religious or political reasons or both).

    230 If you've ever sung the hymn Marching To Zion are you a zionist?

    "Zion" is an amorphous term that has been used over Hebrew history to identify various locations (eg Jebusite Fortress, Temple Mount, Jerusalem, etc).

    Since the first century AD, "Zion" has been extended soteriologically into referring to the "People of God" which, depending on your eschatological views, is some combination of Jews and Christians.

    But none of that matters to these retards, its just a trigger word to mean "People We Hate".

    235 Zionists don't exist. They ceased to exist in '48 when they achieved their goal. Now, it's simply a term for the group of people with the fucking gall to not want Israel annihilated by Arabs, which includes "every citizen of Israel, and a few American Jews."

    Eh, Zionism sort of pivoted post '48. The state was established and the goal of the movement was reached. Like any movement, success is a problem and so it had to adapt. The Zionists kept at it even post-establishment, with the new focus on maintaining the gains.

    The early drives to sell Israel Bonds abroad and make diplomatic inroads after '48 and during and after the Israeli War of Independence were done by the same people under the same banner. They kept the name.

    BREAKING: President Biden is considering bringing Palestinians from Gaza into the United States as refugees according to CBS.

    Federal U.S. agencies are figuring out how to resettle Palestinians from Gaza.

    According to the report, one proposal would use the United States Refugee Admissions Program to bring in Palestinians with U.S. ties who may have escaped into Egypt.

    Those who pass the eligibility requirements would then fly into the United States with refugee status, receive housing assistance and have a path towards citizenship.

    This whole year is setting out to be a replay of 1968, with Biden as an even more pathetic version of LBJ watching his political legacy bleed out on the streets all summer long. Except now it's too late for Biden to drop out of the race.

    I wonder how long it will take for the Dem strategists to see that this wave of unrest is destroying them - do they really have to wait for polls? It's been axiomitic for centuries that a government that cannot control its own streets (metaphorically speaking) does not deserve respect from anyone, and will not long stay in power.

As many weeks, months and years may go by, putting October 7 in the distant past, we must keep those thousands of crimes fresh in our collective memory.

    Hamas isn’t some innocent looking woman at a clinic; it’s the rocket launchers based inside it. Hamas isn’t some sad-looking child wearing a backpack; it’s the demons who loaded his backpack with explosives. Hamas isn’t some harmless little medical clinic; it’s the cache of weapons stored behind the doors marked “operating room” or “supply cabinet.”

    And Hamas isn’t just a vocal group of demonstrators, parked outside your local village hall, promoting some harmless-looking referendum; Hamas is the Gazan subsidiary of the mullahs of Tehran, who have terrorized the Middle East and threatened the civilized world for 45 years now.

    To say that their peaceful-looking “ceasefire referendum” is a wolf in sheep’s clothing is putting it mildly.

    281 Zionist is a term which seems to cover a lot of territory and means different things to different people- like virtually everything else. Remember Alt-Right? How the idea was that it was supposed to be a break with the GOPe way of doing things that got essentially branded into somehow being bad in of itself. Like the Tea Party, this was aided by the establishment coffee klatch 'cons'.

    Labels often mean we do not discuss the actual issue. Israel exists. Jews lived there LONG before Hadrian came along and tried to root them out. It is a successful, liberal democracy in a sea of barbarism.

    Israel tried to deal with the Palestinians in good faith -better than they should have, really, because that encouraged and led to 10/7. The Palestinians showed themselves to be bad actors and more importantly bad faith ones. So, deal with them as such.

    You can thank hard times and Cyrus Scofield for that. With short hard lives, looking for a Promised Land was a huge theme in the Billy Sunday / Charles Finney Revivals which all begat the American Religion which had people focusing on the life to come rather than the life that is now.

    Adopting Zion as the Promised Millennial Kingdom based on Revelation to John and the symbolic Jerusalem, you get Zion and Zionist for the heavenly Jerusalem conflated with the British Mandate and Balfour Declaration.

    The Miseotheistss couldn't care less about the etymology of Zion and use it as a catch-all for Jews and Christians.

    The trial balloon of moving Palies here was already offered in secret to the pro-rape leaders.

    Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at May 01, 2024 08:49 AM (HnUIn)


    The left has carefully redefined what "Zionism" means. Instead of support for the state of Israel and the historic homeland of the Jews, it is now seen by them (and their supporters in the media) as an apartheid, expansionist state that is brutal toward its peaceful neighbors and the downtrodden Arabs who live within its borders. That is easy to hate!

    It's a brilliant strategic move.

    297 Honest Hearts (set in Zion National Park) was one of the most intriguing of the Fallout: NV DLC. Had some of the strongest characterizations and themes they did. The idea that Zion was an unspoiled place, it's people unused to the way of war. And rough, bitter and vicious men had to protect those unspoiled people from the outside world.

    Soteriology (/soʊˌtɪriˈɒlədʒi/; Greek: σωτηρία sōtēria "salvation" from σωτήρ sōtēr "savior, preserver" and λόγος logos "study" or "word"[1]) is the study of religious doctrines of salvation. Salvation theory occupies a place of special significance in many religions.[2] In the academic field of religious studies, soteriology is understood by scholars as representing a key theme in a number of different religions and is often studied in a comparative context; that is, comparing various ideas about what salvation is and how it is obtained.

    309 Well if the US is the conservative Christian homeland, when does it start acting like it?

    America began as a dumping ground for misfit Christians, criminals and adventure seekers.

    It took a lot of faith to leave the religious persecutions in Europe and work out a living in the New World. The strong survived which resulted in a unique gene pool and the strength of the first century martyrs in Rome had a reboot in the form of the USA.

    This is the origin of the White Anglo-Saxon Protestant where we hear of the WASP Work Ethic. It was hard work, understanding the value of life and a view to an afterlife that allow the early US to have a sacrificial community that worked towards a higher goal rather than simple self interest. (Ayn Rand was wrong. People put their lives on the line for cosmic rewards)

    The US population has diluted to nihilistic, atheist and hedonistic low-lifes - basically, returning to the global historic norms of lizard on lizard competition.

    From the Secret History of WWII, vol 16:

    ...One of the most amazing stories to come out of the South Pacific was the fate of "Uncle Posey" Biden, the uncle of Senator Joe Biden.

    Uncle Bosey long-thought to be eaten by cannibals was actually discovered 20 years after his crash landing by a team of anthropologists studying the Olongpongdongo tribe.

    The now 300lb Uncle Bosey had become King of the Cannibals after showing the tribe the 'magic fire" of his Zippo lighter.

    King Uncle Bosey, as the natives called him, was known for his vast appetite for and enthusiastic devouring of human flesh. King Uncle Bosey was legendarily known for wiping out the Pooduka tribe by himself in an orgy gluttonous feasting over one lunchtime.

    Uncle Bosey refused to return to his home in America, stating that he had found a home among the gentle folk oof the Olongpongdongo tribe.

    However, he did request that his punk, idiot nephew Joe come - (c0n't)

    I DO NOT like this source, but they're not wrong here.

    They practically work for the Chinese Communist Party

    Does Benjamin Netanyahu work for the CCP? Being mad about ethnic cleansing is communist, too?

    Not much discussion, but an interesting insight into the Old Guard Dems at DU. They aren't fans of China or outright communism, and even socialism is a mixed bag of support over there. They're having their own "Red Scare", trying to control supporting Palestine while not eradicating Jews.

    Posted by: Aetius451AD at May 01, 2024 09:20 AM (di6C2)


    Orthodox services follow an accepted structure right out of the prayer book, and at least the ones I have been to do not always have a sermon.

    Conservative services also follow the prayer book (although not all of it), and almost always have a sermon at the end.

    Reform services are chaotic. They do pretty much what they like, and if God, Israel, or the Jewish people enter into the discussion it is a coincidence. Their Rabbis do like to talk though! [I'm being mean, but they are far less traditional and, frankly, less Jewish]

    373 Hamas isn’t some innocent looking woman at a clinic; it’s the rocket launchers based inside it. Hamas isn’t some sad-looking child wearing a backpack; it’s the demons who loaded his backpack with explosives. Hamas isn’t some harmless little medical clinic; it’s the cache of weapons stored behind the doors marked “operating room” or “supply cabinet.”

    And Hamas isn’t just a vocal group of demonstrators, parked outside your local village hall, promoting some harmless-looking referendum; Hamas is the Gazan subsidiary of the mullahs of Tehran, who have terrorized the Middle East and threatened the civilized world for 45 years now.

    To say that their peaceful-looking “ceasefire referendum” is a wolf in sheep’s clothing is putting it mildly.
