The Morning Report — 5/2/24

Good morning, kids. "All enemies, foreign and domestic." Boy have we got them. In spades. I would say that ironically, the coordinated fake campus "protests" which are completely bought and paid for organized pogroms/riots ostensibly to distract the electorate from the abject disaster that has been the Biden junta, but likely just plain old Jew- and America-hatred, is perhaps unifying a whole lot of disparate groups that may or may not consider themselves of the left in absolute revulsion.

On a positive note, to answer the hoary old question "Can't we all just get along?," here's a sort of positive sign:

Pro-"Palestinian" protesters and counter-protesters at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa united to show their displeasure with [so-called quote-unquote "president"] Joe Biden. Video footage posted to X showed protesters on both sides chanting, “Fuck Joe Biden.”

Who said the country is disunited? In all seriousness, we've never been more divided and dare I say it more bitterly and absolutely divided than ever. Lincoln's famous quoting of Scripture that "A house divided against itself cannot stand" applies not only in the macro, but also in the micro. By that I mean the coalition of disparate grievance groups under the aegis of the Democrat banner which, despite the destruction they have wrought against the nation they are a part of yet hate with a passion – which to this point has served the Democrats' will to power quite well – evidently has come to its inevitable crisis point at which the rivalries and stratification of who is the most aggrieved, seems to be coming to the point of collapsing their whole house of cards on top of them.

On top of everything that has soured all but the truest of true Marxist believers on the Democrats, this eruption of anti-Semitism could be the straw that breaks the Kamala's back. The next six months are going to perhaps be the most perilous in our history, and certainly in our own lifetimes. The Demorcat-Left might very well be collapsing in on itself but like a certain Viennese housepainter, the Gotterdammerung order is surely in effect. They'll take us down with them if they have to.

Psaki-psircling back to enemies foreign and domestic, here are just a few examples of what we will likely have to contend with, for sure sooner than later as November looms closer.

A University of Tehran professor said in an interview that Iran likes seeing protests on US college campuses, adding those are their supporters if there is ever a conflict between the two countries.

Professor Foad Izadi, who, according to the University of Southern California Center on Public Diplomacy, earned his master’s degree from the University of Houston, was seen in a video published to social media and translated by MEMRI.org, being interviewed about the protests in the US.

“Sooner or later, this kind of support for the Zionist regime by the American regime will diminish. It might not stop completely, but its diminishing is important,” he said in the MEMRI video. “This is why the demonstrations [on US campuses] are important.”

Izadi spoke as a member of the Islamic Republic, and oftentimes said, “we,” referring to him and the republic.“We are watching the demonstrations and like what we see, but it should not end with this,” Izadi said. “If not for the Islamic Republic, the case of the Palestinian idea would have been closed years ago. The idea of resistance belongs to Iran, but on the operational level, when it comes to recruiting connections and building networks, the [Iranian] state has not been involved in a sufficient level.

“These (American students) are our people,” he continued. “If tensions between America and Iran rise tomorrow or the day after, these are the people who will have to take to the streets to support Iran.”

In the wake of Israel's total thwarting of Iran's attempted mass aerial attack the other week, and perhaps its imminent final assault on Hamas' last redoubt in Rafah, a little asymmetric warfare over here could be just what the mullahs are contemplating. I'd say, they have agents already here courtesy of the non-existent border, but this goat-boffing savage is correct; who needs them when our own home-grown micturating matriculating Marxists are willing and eager to do some Jew-bashing and firebombing of power stations for them?

Yet speaking of open borders and foreign terrorists . . .

Federal law enforcement officials have arrested a man from Uzbekistan who is an alleged member of the ISIS terrorist organization and who has been living in the U.S. for the last two years while applying for asylum. . .

. . . Attoev crossed the border in Arizona in February 2022, was apprehended by Border Patrol, and claimed he was an asylum seeker, the report said.

Officials claim that they could not find any “derogatory information” on him so they released him into the U.S. with a court date. “Then, in May 2023, Uzbekistan put out an international notice that Attoev was wanted in his home country for his alleged affiliation with ISIS,” the report said. “But it was not until March 2024, almost a year later, when the U.S. government was reviewing Attoev’s application for asylum, that officials discovered the notice from Uzbekistan and connected it with the man living in Maryland.”

. . . Numerous federal law enforcement officials told the publication that the case was the perfect example of how dangerous the immigration and asylum system is in the U.S. because it takes authorities a long time to follow-up on those who have already crossed into the U.S. — usually illegally.

Enemies foreign and domestic. Here we have a foreign enemy who could not have breached our defenses had our #1 domestic enemy Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants and those pulling his strings had not opened the gates wide open for him. If you think he's a one-off, think again. That goes for Biden, too.

Meanwhile, as far as the campus pogroms are concerned . . .

One of the ten protestors arrested was a 39-year-old man named Atah Othman, who was caught with a gun on his person during the protest. Given what we have seen as these college kids grow more unhinged in their protests, it was quite likely Othman would have opened fire at some point had police not intervened when they did. . .

. . . when your little minions are openly talking about bringing weapons to the protest, it's not a protest anymore. Besides, what was a 39-year-old man doing at this protest anyway? Even more worrying, he got out on bond. Granted, it is still too early to jump to conclusions about who Othman is. But the fact that he was armed and other people were talking about bringing weapons means that what I said yesterday about flat-out pogroms occurring right here in America could very well happen.

Granted, it is still too early to jump to conclusions about who Othman is. But the fact that he was armed and other people were talking about bringing weapons means that what I said yesterday about flat-out pogroms occurring right here in America could very well happen.

Don't believe me? Fox 7 reported that after Travis County police cleared out the University of Texas in Austin and arrested 80 people, they uncovered stashes of guns (yes, guns), chains, mallets, and bricks around the encampment. Furthermore, 45 of those arrested were not in any way affiliated with the Longhorns, either as students, faculty, or staff. . .

The question, then, is who is behind this frenzy of antisemitism we've seen on college campuses these past couple of weeks?

While I am not discounting these protests being the end result of colleges breeding indoctrinated leftist morons who come back to bite them in their collective hindquarters, nothing about them seems to have formed organically. Someone has to be buying and setting up these fancy tents (North Face ain't cheap, you know) and providing these weapons.

. . . By the way, did you also see that one of the people at the Columbia protest was Nahla Al-Arian, wife of Sami Al-Arian, who was busted way back in 2005 for raising money for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad? Things that make you wonder.

Atah Othman is not exactly a Scots-Irish name, now is it? And recall the pallets of bricks left at strategic locations in the middle of the night in business districts all over the nation during the 2020 summer of mostly peaceful Burning Looting and Murdering.

Four years later, the NYPD actually ejected and arrested the miscreants at Columbia and CCNY. And just to remind you, the city's DA is none other than Alvin Bragg.

Bragg, who is currently prosecuting the case against former President Donald Trump, did not respond to multiple requests for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation asking whether pro-Palestinian protestors arrested on Tuesday would be charged. The New York Police Department (NYPD) arrested 119 protestors at Columbia on Tuesday night, along with 173 protestors at the separate City University of New York (CUNY) protest, where students occupied an administration building.

“Given his track record and the political nature of the events, I would be surprised if the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office prosecuted the charges in a serious manner,” Cornell Law School professor William Jacobson told the DCNF. “The charges are likely to be dropped against most perpetrators, and drastically reduced for others under an agreement that would see the charges eventually expunged.”

Yet Daniel Penny is awaiting trial for accidentally causing the death of a psycho on the subway who was threatening fellow passengers with violence. Yeah, Penny's got to burn. As does Trump. Same deal with the Jewish students and their defenders at the attempted pogrom at UCLA. Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom will throw the book at them, for the heinous crime of self-defense while being Jewish, which cannot go unpunished!

Of course, this story is all just a terrible misunderstanding!

The Stanford University teaching assistant who was caught on tape calling for [so-called quote-unquote "president"] Joe Biden’s assassination and praising Hamas is now naming and shaming the students he says recorded his remarks and reported him to the administration.

Hamza El Boudali, who in January told Jewish students in his computer science section that they would be treated "very well" by a Hamas caliphate, on Wednesday posted a thread on X with the names and headshots of students who "illegally recorded and doxxed" him "in clear violation" of Stanford’s code of conduct. It is not clear which provision of the code he is referencing.

. . . More recently, a masked individual at Stanford’s pro-"Palestinian" encampment was spotted wearing a Hamas headband. The university announced on Tuesday that it had forwarded a photo of the individual to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Hamza, Hamas, Hazmat. Pfft. The FBI will get right on that. Just as soon as they can identify anyone within 10 miles of the Capitol on 1/6/21 who might have been wearing a MAGA hat. Or anyone silently praying within 1,000 parsecs of an abortion mill, or someone complaining about a drag queen exposing his junk in the women's locker room at Planet Fitness.

You can threaten to assassinate Joey Rutabaga and nothing will be done. Because Heaven forfend they stay home in Dearbornistan this November!

Yesterday, I stated we should take to heart the leftist bromide that the Constitution is not a suicide pact. Today, maybe we should take a second look – from our perspective – at "No Justice, No Peace."

It may yet come down to that, God help us.

Furthermore, 45 of those arrested were not in any way affiliated with the Longhorns, either as students, faculty, or staff. . .

71 A simple explanation of our economy over the last fifty years is that advances in technology made doing things much more efficient, which should have lowered prices substantially for all sorts of things, but this deflationary benefit was eaten up by growth in government (5% to 20% of jobs), bloated big company payrolls, and handouts.

People with real jobs saw little or nothing from this.

And there's a high correlation in this to the divide between MAGA America and those in the Borg.

74 Regarding the CA pay increase for fast food workers. The so called minimum wage has been increasing across the country. Here it's "only" $11 an hour. A friend is a superintendent for a large construction firm, and every so often, as the general contractor, needs some temp help. To keep things clean and legal, he uses a temp agency. They have increased their rates. This means the sub contractors, if they ever were using agencies, will now use new arrivals hanging out in the Lowes parking lot. It must suck to have a temp agency in a state with, say, a $17 minimum, meaning you have to charge about $25 an hour for somebody picking up trash.

You want a carrot? Buy solar panels, a new Tesla, a new heat-pump for your home, new insulated windows.

If you got the dough, get your organization to lease tens of thousands of acres of land and install wind turbines and force the RTO to buy whatever electricity your tax subsidized wind mills harvest.

Irrelevant, or should be. It probably is against the code of conduct, likely violating some clause regarding copyright and distribution of notes and similar materials. Just a guess, as I haven't read it.

A professor menacing his students on the basis of religion or politics is probably against the code of conduct for faculty or adjunct staff, and is much more severe regardless. This was what was heroic just a few short years ago: "whistle-blowing."

The former is still true. The soft disciplines are carrying culture down through generations, and doing so with great efficacy. The distribution and expansion of the professed ideals into and through the student population has possibly never been more effective.

It's just not "the culture" or "our culture." For their radical Postmodern hell culture, however, it is serving the purpose and doing so quite well.

Probably because it was bastardized in the process, like the hijacking of the phrase: "You will know the Truth and the Truth will set you free" being used in all kinds of communist propaganda to wear the skin suit of legitimacy.

The "house divided" line was a response to the Pharisees who accused Jesus of being a demon because the LORD cast out a demon and healed a blind and mute man.

So if we are talking about demonic strongholds, Jesus was figuratively telling them that the demons are united. It would make absolutely no sense for Jesus to defend Himself for saying that the Devil doesn't have strict compliance within his ranks.

The university issued a message at approximately 3 a.m. local time Thursday warning members of its community to avoid the area of campus the student activists had occupied and announcing that the students, faculty, and staff in the encampment were required to leave.

“The University of California Los Angeles has declared the encampment and all unauthorized tents in Dickson Plaza to be unlawful. The University requires that everyone must leave the encampment and adjacent areas, as well as all unauthorized structures and tents immediately, until further notice,” the statement reads. “If you fail to leave and remain present in the encampment or unauthorized tents or structures in Dickson Plaza, regardless of your purpose for remaining, you will be in violation of the law and those who choose to remain could face sanctions.”

So Trump goes in and writes an EO saying he wants all documents related to all counter-intelligence Investigations conducted from 2015 to January 21st 2025.

In an age that has mostly forgotten history, we appear to have forgotten that all the great Orators of past time would reuse and echo great themes and lines from all well known past works and figures. Lincoln did this throughout his speeches; attribution did not have to be given because in his time, everyone knew instantly the source of his quote. Similarly, you will see in the Federalist Papers references to the writings of Marcus Aurelius and various Roman Maxims, which they had all been taught in school. The KJV and Shakespeare's works essentially created standard English, so quotes from those sources are endless.

It's a sign of our current general ignorance that these touchstones of our culture are not recognized instantly.

Rhetoric has devolved down to just emotional trigger words. No need to articulate any elements of a "radical agenda", no need to explain how money is being used, how to measure success, or what this $20 will do that the previous tranches of $20 donations didn't.

This is true for the Rs, the Ds, the gifts to Ukraine, wealth transfers to NGOs and rent seekers, no need to explain anything just "We are taking your money. Be glad that we told you up front that we are plundering you".

It's not so much that it was just a joke but it was said for a laugh, privately, and not for the consumption and debate of billions of people for decades to come.

I have made many many many jokes which were 100% true. In fact that's pretty much all I do.

So when you're talking about a private off the cuff line, "it was just a joke" ABSOLUTELY applies. Why do we insist on forgetting that? To be fair to the people attacking us with bullshit?

238 Trump isn't the cure for what ails us, but I'm not sure we have it in us as a nation to take real responsibility for ourselves. Too few people seem to know what that looks like anymore.

I'm pretty sure that a heritage American shooting a dozen commies is that simple an answer. We stopped nurturing a desire within generations of people to love our traditions, customs and freedoms.

You only protect that which you value, and you can only value something if you know what it is worth. We as a culture have utterly failed to pass on a love for freedom and a duty to promote human flourishing for all.

There was a limited outbreak of a coronavirus in the year 2002. It did not make huge headlines but was well known to the medical establishment. People who were exposed to that had immunity to Covid 2019. When Fauci is caught on tape referring to working on a vaccine for 'the past 20 years' - there is your smoking gun that gain-of-function research was achieved on the 2002 original virus.

Men, generally, don't care about a woman's status, educational attainment or wealth.

" if a woman was looking for her husband and the options were 100% identical except one was a world-level brain surgeon whose dad was a hedge fund manager and whose grandfather invented Rubbermaid, and the other was a cashier at the Stop and Shop, there is absolutely zero doubt who would be chosen."

Concur. Her decision to marry such an unkept slob who emanates pedo vibes and is a democrat nutsack loving asswipe means her judgement is very poor, she has insecurity issues or she used his fat ass for a leg up in the world which is what the Vjayjay is for when one is a whore, or all of the above.

LOL. Execution failed there, but this isn't new. Denver doesn't have much water and it's a constant source of tension. It's a source of tension between the Metro and surrounding areas, as the water systems keep laying claim to more and more distant water rights (in my old neighborhood up in the mountains, Denver Water had to start sending water surveyors up in teams, because at least one of them was murdered - it's serious stuff).

It's also a source of tension within the cities because of restrictions on stuff like lawn watering, and creates conflicts when golf courses get exempted but Wealthy Gated Community C does not and causes hairy problems with HOAs.

Denver *always* does conservation drives in the summer, usually along the lines of, "please please please don't water your lawn." This is just super lame.

This is really only true of a subset of men as you move up in class, where people more commonly marry for property reasons. But it's still common for men to marry women who are simply in close proximity, like secretaries, regardless of wealth and education.

Yes, men can be actively coached to avoid doing this, but the basic heuristic is closer to: "Is she available and interested?"

Statistically, marriages with men who marry women with higher incomes (and, I assume, wealth in general) have a much higher divorce rate than average.

Still, I think most men would prefer a rich spouse, all other things equal...just need to make sure marriage is for the right reasons, and money isnt going to become a sticking point later on.

We had a great relationship but eventually drifted apart but kept in touch over the years. She still had the same issue for years.

Yes. Denver gets verdant green for about two weeks and then the browning begins.

But lawn-watering is extremely common, because it will keep it at bay. It isn't lush and green like places that have water, but it isn't just dead. Without watering, it's just dead.

Posted by: Montec at May 02, 2024 09:28 AM (tpjlM)

The UMC reading curriculum won't carry conversations for that long, and in general there are tons of people across classes that have hobbies in common.

The subject of interest gap tends to be more gender-based than class-based, and it's still not exactly impossible to find women with similar interests across classes.

Observably men really will just marry attractive women in close proximity outside of their class despite pretty extensive policing and conditioning to the contrary as you move up in SES.

One man can impregnate multiple women and in general it's harder and rarer for men to reproduce.

In other words, there's certain incentives towards men not being selective.

I actually didn't care about the income - I just wanted a certain level of ambition and backbone (to go along with equal intellect) so I was not expected to be both the mom and superwoman my whole life. I mean, before I stopped working, I out-earned my spouse - it actually gave him something to strive for (making sure he could earn enough so I could stop working and raise the kids b/c he wanted that even more than I did originally).

'The International League of Peoples' Struggle (ILPS) is an international organization that seeks to coordinate anti-imperialist and democratic movements around the world.[1] Wikipedia
Second is 'Defend Peoples Right to Resist.' Found many sites with such themes, among them openDemocracy's website with 'Human Right to Resist."
HOME: 'A human right to resist' We need the international community to favour the worldwide groundswell of civil resistance over armed violence. This could be facilitated by a more dynamic and comprehensive interpretation of existing international law in the light of a broader understanding of those rights of which civil resistance is comprised.'

Wikipedia: The platform has been funded by grants from organisations such as Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, the Open Society Foundations, the Ford Foundation, and Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust, as well as by receiving direct donations from readers.[3][1]
