The Morning Report

The Morning Report — 5/6/24

Good morning, kids. Yesterday was "Yom Ha'Shoah," or Holocaust Remembrance Day. Considering the times in which we live and what's going on not only in Israel but all over the world and right here in our own country, the timing is perfect.

The Einzatz-groupies who mindlessly ululate with orgasmic glee at the events of October 7th, the largest, and most heinous single-day mass slaughter of Jews since 1945 also remember the Holocaust – with a yearning wistfulness. They want to finish the job that Hitler started, which is kind of funny since their brainwashers alternate between declaring that as their singular purpose in life and the notion that the Holocaust is a myth or an exaggeration. Then they flip back again, equating Israel with Hitler insofar as committing genocide against the mythical "Palestinian" people, who somehow since 2005, when Israel unilaterally withdrew from Gaza, have managed to triple their population. If that's genocide, then Bibi, old boy, you're not doing it right.

Speaking of genocide, despite Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants doing everything he can to help Hamas pull out a win by forcing Israel to cease fire while at the same time trying to fake his support for Israel's right to exist, and thereby keep his coalition of the unbalanced intact this November, just the opposite appears to be happening. The Maoist/Muslim base has pulled a Trump and tarred Biden with the moniker of "Genocide Joe" as they feel he isn't doing enough and fast enough to throw Israel into the gas chamber. When another Foggy Bottom bottom dweller quits after being in that sewer of America- and Israel-hate – that's 18 years as an insider to the duplicitousness and desire to see us and our allies laid prostrate before our enemies yet still can't recognize Biden's and Blinken's fakery for the bullshit that it is – then the junta is for sure in trouble.

At the other end of the spectrum, the explosion of verbal and physical attacks on Jews and their supporters, have opened the eyes of perhaps a fairly significant number of independents (if such an animal really exists these days) and the relatively sane among traditional liberal Democrats as to just who they've been supporting, actively or just reflexively, for so many years. The images of 10/7 and now on campuses across the nation are the icing on the cake of the past three years of abject destruction that has affected them directly and personally.

Somehow, the wires got crossed and the wrong groups are reacting the wrong way to the wrong message. Perfect.

Yet, they still persist.

Hamas fired rockets close to civilian shelters, aimed a maximizing casualties in case an Israeli response. “The launches carried out by Hamas adjacent to the Rafah Crossing, located approximately 350 meters from civilian shelters, are a clear example of the terrorist organization’s systematic exploitation of humanitarian facilities and spaces, and their continued use of the Gazan civilian population as human shields,” the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in press release Sunday afternoon.
Hamas proudly took responsibility for attacking the humanitarian border crossing. Israel was forced to close the passage of aid trucks following the strikes, the IDF confirmed.
The rockets were fired from the terrorist stronghold of Rafah, an area Israeli military plans to evacuate in case of a possible military operation to free the remaining hostages. In recent days, Hamas terrorists have repeatedly used Rafah’s civilian areas to fire rockets towards Israel. . .
. . . The rocket barrage comes days after the Biden [junta] reportedly ‘guaranteed’ Hamas that Israel will not enter Rafah and end all military operations if the terrorist group agrees to the latest hostages-for-terrorists deal.
The Israeli government rejected the Biden [junta's] unilateral guarantee to abandon the military mission to capture Rafah, where Hamas’s terrorist leaderships is hiding behind Israeli hostages serving as human shields.

You know how Biden can guarantee the IDF will not go into Rafah? Because they're halting shipments of munitions and materiel that the IDF needs at this crucial juncture.

The Biden [junta] last week halted an ammunition shipment to Israel in a bid to pressure the IDF into abandoning the planned operation in Rafah, Israeli journalist Barak Ravid reported in the new website Axios Sunday. The revelation comes as Israel’s military offensive against Hamas enters its seventh month. Israel, a key U.S. ally, relies of American-made weapons, ammunition and spare parts for its armed forces.

"Genocide Joe" alright. Too bad the micturating matriculating Muslim mavens at Columbia, UCLA and elsewhere don't understand who Biden is "genociding" or wanting to. My gut tells me that Israel indeed has what it needs to finish the job, and will likely be able to get what it needs to fill in any shortfalls from the Saudis or Emiratis.

Speaking of which, Biden over the past several years has gone off on the Saudis, mostly for their cutting oil production at a time when he needs their oil to keep our dying economy from flatlining before the election, after kneecapping our own production to appease the red-green enviro-commies before the election. I'm sensing a pattern here.

Have no fear; he's got this covered. Ho. Lee. Farouk . . .

After draining the strategic petroleum reserve ahead of the midterms, Biden has been unable to refill it because his environmentalist allies and the Saudis have kept prices high. The Saudis had rejected requests to lower oil prices for anything short of assistance in building their own nuclear program. Shortly before the Hamas attacks of Oct 7, the Saudis had offered to temporarily boost production if it would make it easier to sell Congress on a defense agreement.
Back then the Saudi deal had been portrayed as an extension of the ‘Abraham Accords’ and offered ‘normalization’ of diplomatic ties with Israel. Whether the Saudis were ever serious about normalization is debatable but since Oct 7, any such agreement has been conditioned on an internationally recognized.Islamic terrorist ‘Palestinian’ state affiliated with Saudi Arabia.
The current expectation is that a deal between Biden and the Saudis will drop the Israeli component and focus on a defense agreement and nuclear power in exchange for cheap oil. Whether Israel is or isn’t on board, a Saudi nuclear agreement is a bad deal for America.
The United States is more than capable of producing its own oil. The only obstacle in the way of American energy independence is Joe Biden and his party who are determined to push ‘green energy’ that only makes us equally dependent on Muslim terror states and Communist China.
Nuclear energy could help solve our energy problems, but the Saudis, who are the world’s largest oil producers, certainly don’t need to go nuclear to fix any energy shortfalls. Nor do they care about the environment. A civilian nuclear energy program makes about as much sense for Saudi Arabia as it does for Iran. And the only reasonable argument for enabling the Saudis to go nuclear would be to counter Iran’s nuclear weapons program, but rather than averting a nuclear attack, that could double the risk and the possible vectors for nuclear armageddon.
The trouble with letting either Iran or the Saudis go nuclear is not just the direct nuclear threat, but the indirect one that will come from Islamic terrorists getting their hands on either nuclear weapons or materials. Saudi Arabia has made some progress under the MBS monarchy, including allowing women greater rights and backing away from some of the terrorist groups and movements that the kingdom has traditionally supported, and even purged some of the old guard who oversaw the Jihadi war against America (this led to Jamal Khashoggi’s death). . .
. . . Biden is proposing to swap nuclear capabilities in exchange for the Saudis providing cheap oil for his election. The Saudis have made it clear that they can’t offer long term price guarantees which means they’d be doing little more than providing a temporary market fix long enough to get a presidential candidate his second term in in office.
After all the talk of impeachable quid-pro-quos, here’s one that could get millions killed.
Nuclear materials in the hands of Islamic terrorists is the ultimate nightmare and Biden is risking mass death, the destruction of entire American cities, in exchange for an election day bribe. . .
. . . By emptying the strategic petroleum reserve to bribe midterm voters, Biden already dangerously endangered our economy and our national security. The cost of his illegal student loan debt bribes is already approaching an estimated $1 trillion and that may just be the beginning.
But there’s a big difference between stealing money to bribe voters and making a deal with an enemy nation that can cost the lives of millions. One is corruption while the other is treason.

I'm no Perry Mason, but I can make an argument that considering the intentional erasure of our borders and the flooding of our nation with 8 million and counting foreigners, among them thousands of hardened criminals, spies and saboteurs from our strategic enemies and worst of all confirmed jihadists, Biden indeed is guilty of treason right there. Already, the mass crime wave that has seen our citizens brutally raped and murdered makes Biden guilty before and after the fact in each one of those crimes, that taken together is a treasonous breach of his Constitutional oath. Yeah, I know. Go tell it to the Marines. Meh, they're under the control of Vanilli Milley and Lloyd Austin.

Great. Give the Saudis nukes, at a time when MBS' rule is perhaps not as stable as we might assume given the Wahhabists in his midst and the threat from the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen.

Meanwhile, here's something that I know will come as a huge surprise:

Two of the main organizers behind protests at Columbia University and on other campuses are Jewish Voice for Peace and IfNotNow. Both are supported by the Tides Foundation, which is seeded by Democratic megadonor George Soros as well as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and it in turn supports numerous small nonprofits that work for social change. (Gates did not return a request for comment, and Soros declined to comment.)
Another notable Democratic donor whose philanthropy has helped fund the protest movement is David Rockefeller Jr., who sits on the board of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund. In 2022, the fund gave $300,000 to the Tides Foundation; according to nonprofit tax forms, Tides has given nearly $500,000 over the past five years to Jewish Voice for Peace, which explicitly describes itself as anti-Zionist.
Several other groups involved in pro-Palestinian protests are backed by a foundation funded by Susan and Nick Pritzker, heir to the Hyatt Hotel empire — and supporters of Biden and numerous Democratic campaigns, including $6,600 to the Biden Victory Fund a few months ago and more than $300,000 during the 2020 campaign.

I saw Soros, Gates, Rockefeller and Pritzker open for The Fourth Reich at the Sportpalast in '45. Lots of hormonal Einsatz-groupies kept shrieking and spoiled the show. PLO terror towels are the new bobby sox.

10 You know how Biden can guarantee the IDF will not go into Rafah? Because they're halting shipments of munitions and materiel that the IDF needs at this crucial juncture.

22 ne of the most violent leaders of the Columbia University protests is a professional agitator, according to a New York Post report.

. . .according to this report, citing a high-ranking police source, one of their key players – James Carlson – is “a longtime anarchist."

James Carlson, also known as Cody Carlson, 40, is the son of millionaire advertisers Richard and Sandy Tarlow and owns a $3.4 million townhouse in Brooklyn, the article said.

He has a criminal history dating back to 2005, according to the New York Post.
The New York Post claims he is a “rabble rouser and an attorney by trade” and is being investigated as a possible mastermind of the anti-Israel protests.

Carlson was one of the people who broke into Columbia University’s Hamilton Hall and barricaded themselves inside on Tuesday night. . .Carlson later destroyed a camera inside a holding cell while in custody in the early hours of Wednesday morning. . .police imposed additional charges on Carlson due to setting alight an Israeli flag, which was held by a 22-year-old protestor, and hitting him in the face with a rock. His charges now include hate crime, assault, and larceny.

34 From WSJ: The recent wave of pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses came on suddenly and shocked people across the nation. But the political tactics underlying some of the demonstrations were the result of months of training, planning and encouragement by longtime activists and left-wing groups.

At Columbia University, in the weeks and months before police took down encampments . . .student organizers began consulting with groups such as the National Students for Justice in Palestine, veterans of campus protests and former Black Panthers.
In March, there was a “Resistance 101” training scheduled at Columbia with guest speakers including longtime activists with Samidoun: Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network, a Vancouver, British Columbia-based group that celebrated the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel. The administration twice barred the event, citing some of the organizers’ known support of terrorism and promotion of violence. Columbia students hosted the event virtually nonetheless, which prompted Columbia President to suspend several of them.
During the session, Samidoun coordinator Charlotte Kates encouraged students . . .https://tinyurl.com/2f8e8me3

The Bates and Cash statues will replace ones depicting James P. Clarke, a former governor and U.S. senator in the late 1800s and early 1900s, and Uriah Rose, a 19th century attorney. The statues had come under scrutiny, especially over racist comments Clarke made calling on the Democratic Party to preserve “white standards.”

To verify Texas residency, an individual must present two printed documents from the list below. Both documents must contain the individual's name and residential address. One of the documents must verify that the individual has lived in Texas for at least 30 days. Individuals who are surrendering a valid, unexpired driver license or ID from another state, or applying for a commercial driver license, must still present proof of residency; however, the 30 day requirement is waived.

79 Speaking of bums, Asheville, NC is busing their homeless drug addicts that they welcomed and created to small rural areas around the area that reject the activity but now have to enforce and deal with the people.

Asheville's newspaper debunked the "myth" by printing an article confirming yes, busing bums out of cities happens and has been happening for years. Comically, they "debunk" it by finding a bum who doesn't know anyone who was ever bused to *Asheville*

Does totally above-board and definitely real representative government give him the kind of sexual charge that watching him defend it gives us? Or is it just selfless dedication that drives him?"

He also more respected his fans than the others, and was a common presence at conventions at the like.

This was a baffling move. He knows the conditions in the country, and is probably smart enough to know that this kind of thing doesn't pull people down off the fence, but just makes a lot of people who loved and respected you and your commitment over the years get very upset. He isn't doing a damn thing for the Party, he's just hurting himself. And it's the way this works now. Cultural revolution out front shoulda told him.

I'm sure the MIC will be pleased with the drop in sales. Its this kind of crap where Israel, if their leadership has any brains at all, will seek second and third suppliers, and then dissolve contracts with their crappy and manipulative ones.

Since the former US and the debased West has lost much of its industrial capability and due to a legion of other self-imposed dysfunctions likely to keep shedding off more and more, Israel would be much better served get cozy with BRICS.

As you get older you lose some of the natural filler in your face.

If you have some weight on you it isn't as obvious, but if you have a low body fat measurement often it does...

Which I guess means if you want to maximize your looks as you get older you'd keep eating but also work out so some of that fat becomes muscle on your body but not aim for the "waif" look anymore.

166 I remember when videos of people making funny video traps to record porch pirates annoyed was a big thing on youtube. My first question was...wait...why aren't the police just arresting these people?

Because the only thing law school graduates are capable of prosecuting are process crimes. Anything that deals with the ambiguity of morality and ethics is an enigma to this last couple generations of lawyers.

A cop could pull over a known thief with a backseat filled with stolen car radios, and the prosecution wouldn't take the case because the defense could argue that the crim was a repairman and the prosecution fails to prove the radios are stolen. This takes time and effort. Much easier to bust someone for violating a process, being delinquent on a tax, not securing the proper documents. Doesn't require any effort at all and with today's juries leaves no "reasonable doubt".

He is scheduled to be back on the international stage later this month. To attend the QUAD Conference in New Delhi. Next he is scheduled to attend the 80th D-Day Anniversary events in France. Then he goes to Italy in mid-June for the annual G-7 Summit. Then nothing until mid-November. How will Joe perform? How many verbal gaffes will the handlers have to clean-up?

213 From the WSJ article:
The National Students for Justice in Palestine, or NSJPhas for months called on students to stand strong against colleges until they divest themselves of investments in entities doing business with Israel. Its social-media pages have become a scroll of encouragement to protesting students, with videos showing activity at encampments and around the world. As early as October, NSJP was promoting a “day of resistance” with demonstrations at colleges.

Over time, the messages from the national group became more pointed. “The Student Movement for Palestinian Liberation will not be silenced; we will escalate until our demands are met,” NSJP posted on social media on April 25.

On April 29, the group announced a new chant on social media: “No divestment, no commencement.”University administrators have been concerned that coming graduations could be interrupted by protesters.

Columbia and other schools should not be giving in to these thugs.

If there is to be a war of generations - and I doubt there will be, and it is more likely to be a war of ideology or a war of despair - it will be X+Z vs M.

The Boomers were a mega-generation. It gave us part of X (Silents the rest) and the Millennials. X (and a handful of leading-edge Millennials) gave us Z. The Millennials are a mega-generation (the last one). X and Z are small. They'd have to team up to go after the Millennials, especially because the Ms are enthusiastically supported and loved by the Boomers, who would hurl resources at them.

Surely, yes. There are different concentrations in the different generations, though.

On the plus side, the entire "generation" concept is now played out. Alpha is the first true post-generational generation. The whole thing was an aberration. Giant monolithic population age distribution is a consequence of the War. The real world isn't neat like that, and it's all mixed up. It took a few generations (human generations) to get mixed up again, but it finally has. The idea of "A Generation" is not relevant from this point forward.

245 A former student visited me. She's been working for "green" nonprofits. I asked her a few questions, such as what is the "safe" level of CO2 that we're trying to reach. She thought it was a good question, but admitted she didn't know. She's had more than five years to find out the goal of her work.

I wanted to keep things civil, because I honestly care about her. But I was tempted to ask how she could justify flying all over the country (and soon to South America) while we're in a "climate crisis".

BTW I have now experienced an IRL man asking me if I'd give up my voting right to save our country from Democrats. I didn't answer because while I was laughing, the subject of conversation changed.

I opposed giving up the right to practice my religion and to assemble peaceably to "save the country" from Covid. I oppose giving up the right to bear arms to "save our country" from gun violence. Who the hell thinks we'll have any rights if we don't use them?

I think that the marketing derived "generation" labels have some value, mostly as time markers. People are highly mimetic, and they tend to desire those things that they are told they need to desire. The Silent Generation was programmed to desire a modest life, Boomers to desire success, I have no idea what programed X - that is why that generation is most interesting; we all know what programmed M, and Z appears to be completely lost (unless home-schooled) due to so much diversity and multi-culturalism that there is no predominant culture defining Desire.

Not entirely. The Boomers are real, as is X and the Millennials. It started cracking a bit on Z, and is gone with Alpha. The "Silents" never existed - it was a retroactive application.

The War had social consequences. We quit having kids for a while, then started back up at all once. There is a clear divide around the Boomers. They're real. The Boomers then gave us both most of Gen X and most of the Millennials. Before they got the cute name, the Millennials were called the "Echo Boomers" - the mega-generation that directly replaced the Boomers.

But things are messy in real life. The "generations" concept is not valuable into the future. It's already getting all jumbled up again with Alpha.

I suppose the behinds-the-scenes staff is younger and enjoy power without campaigning.

The project, set to be completed by the fall of 2028, is projected to cost between $1.7 billion and $1.9 billion, according to David Broughton, spokesperson for the Maryland Department of Transportation.

300 I suppose the behinds-the-scenes staff is younger and enjoy power without campaigning. But after the last presidential election, it was obvious that the geezers weren't going to let young Dems with some brains and competencies have any power; e.g. Yang and Gabbard. The only "youngster" rewarded was that idiot Buttigieg.

The politicians are a slightly different category. There are some powerful ones, of course, but most aren't.

The Party is shot through with Millennials. The agencies are, too.

Heh. Yup. I'm losing a ton of weight, but I'll never be skinny. I actually *do* have a big build. I am literally "big-boned." I'm also a fat-ass and I can fix (and am fixing) that, but I ain't never gonna be svelte.

The weird thing about the weight loss .. you lose weight every where except your belly which shrinks a little. The hardest part to get used to is losing most of the fatty tissue in your feet. Your shoes become loose and it feels like you are always walking on rocks.

No, a dead man switch like on a lawn tractor or jet ski.
Huh?

308 LOL. Peter Scolari, I think.

I know that for some reason. There's some piece of information - something actually important - that failed to burrow into my brain because I know that Peter Scolari was in "Bosom Buddies." If it weren't for all the cruft up there, I'd probably be a genius or something.

Is that his name? When I won the "Thanks, Nancy Pelosi!" contest that LauraW held back in '07(?), my prize was supposed to be a signed poster of him

Never could remember his name (and never got that poster, LauraW!!!!! )

*ahem*
Not all are retards. I know many 'rons have raised productive, successful Gen Z kids. My own has been sending me memes mocking the protesters and marveling that anyone would be so stupid to pay 100's of thousand in tuition and then piss the time away protesting.

There are extremes on both ends of this generation, such as the total normal guys who defended the American flag vs. fat, ugly, gender-confused, angry protesters. As RS McCain has said, never thought raising normal kids would be an accomplishment. . .

Nah, this boomer is enjoying the fact that the young generation who voted for Biden is watching housing affordability disappear while I get nearly 50k per year in housing appreciation.

They coulda kept Trump in office with a 2 to 3% mortgage, but no he said 'pussy'. At least they get to live close to Mom and Dad, in the basement.

I know. But as long as the most arrogant and stupid Gen Z types whose singular achievement is texting are determined to lump all Boomers into a small stereotype so their smooth brains can feel better about themselves I will lump all of them with the worst of them.

Seems fair and it makes me happy.

317 "I seem to suspect that dishonest people don't like honest people. I also suspect that leftists are very dishonest people."

This is a very important fact.

Hanging with a crowd of liars is very bad for you. I tried to explain this to my son when he was banned from visiting a buddy of his who got caught red-handed stealing money from the parents of another friend of his.

That kid eventually got some serious street justice and ended up in jail before he was 25 because he was abandoned by all his "friends" and had to live on the street.
