The Morning Report — 5/27/24

Good morning, kids. First and foremost, I have been slowly but surelyrecuperating at home an cannot thank all of you enough for your kind words, prayers and encouragement. I don't know that I have the energy to spare to do as thorough a job for you these next few days or so as I get back on my feet.

Secondly, this is memorial day, and more than ever we cannot forget those who laid down their lives for our cojcountry and way of life. My their ultimate sacrifice never be in vain and may what they died for yet be reborn in our lifetime.For those of you who lost friends and loved ones in combat, I mourn right along with you.

During a speech on Saturday at the People’s Conference for Palestine in Detroit, Michigan, Tlaib slammed Biden for saying Israel’s war with Hamas in Gaza is “not genocide.” “What’s happening is not genocide,” Biden said during a Jewish American Heritage Month event on May 20. Biden’s comments came after the International Criminal Court issued a statement that they were seeking arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, along with several Hamas leaders.

In the video, Mast did not take the apparent heckler’s word lying down. “You want to know what happens when they [his mechanical legs] get stuck up somebody’s ass? You want to know?” the congressman could be heard retorting. “Oh, is that a homophobic comment?” the heckler apparently responded in the video. “It is a comment,” Mast could be heard saying.

EDUCATION, AND WHAT PASSES FOR IT
Robert Zimmerman: "To really change things will require the board to
begin firing many administrators, and putting in place new people
opposed to the hateful and bigoted race-based education of the DEI
crowd. These new people in turn must be given the necessary support to
fire faculty, since many professors in the academic world like hateful

right to continue to stuff it down the throats of students."

POLITICS
During his remarks at the Libertarian Convention in Washington, D.C., which drew some boos from people in the audience, Trump said he was asking for a “partnership” to defeat President Joe Biden. Trump Seeks ‘Partnership’ At Libertarian Convention
In a somewhat surprising move, former President Donald Trump addressed the Libertarian Party Convention Saturday night. It was a risky idea. Unlike his rallies, which are packed with supporters, the Libertarian Party wasn't going to be a friendly crowd. Optics are extremely important to political campaigns, and having your candidate endure the wrath of an unfriendly crowd doesn't look good.

"Biden’s betrayal of Israel may end up costing him the election."
Democrats Panic Over Jewish Voters
Carville said, “The generational thievery that has occurred in this country is criminality of the first order. We keep wondering why these young people are not coming home to the Democrats. Why are blacks not coming home to the Democrats? Because Democrat messaging is full of shit, that’s why. And talk about cost of living, and we’re going to help deal with this. Don’t talk about fucking Gaza and student loans. That is so out.”
Carville: ‘Democrat Messaging Is Full of Sh-t’ Stop Ignoring the Economy
“Here’s what I can tell you, is that under Donald Trump, we were better off,” Scott said. “There are two things that are driving black votes back to Donald Trump, jobs and justice. Number one, under Donald Trump, our wages were going up. Right now, fairness is going down. But if you’re really concerned about racial justice in America, let’s not forget, Joe Biden is the guy that talked about racial jungles as a result of desegregation.”

"The host star, called Gliese 12, is a cool red dwarf located almost 40 light-years away in the constellation Pisces. The star is only about 27% of the Sun’s size, with about 60% of the Sun’s surface temperature. The newly discovered world, named Gliese 12 b, orbits every 12.8 days and is Earth’s size or slightly smaller — comparable to Venus. Assuming it has no atmosphere, the planet has a surface temperature estimated at around 107 degrees.

22 About this exo-planet Gliese-12 Alpha (I hereby dub it that), if it's Earth-sized, whether or not it has an atmosphere depends in part on how dense it is. If it can't hold on to an atmosphere, then it doesn't sound like a place we could ever colonize. (Unless we really do develop terraforming that works.)

Also, is 107 F. the *average* temperature? If that's the temp in the daytime (assuming it rotates, and has a night) in the temperate zone, it could be a lot hotter at the equator. Or does *average* mean the average over the day-night cycle? If so, the daytime temp could be, say, 214 F. and the night 0 F.

And there's the issue of whether it has liquid water. No, I don't think Realtor and Zillow are going to be listing properties there any time soon.

68 It's crazy to realize how much poorer the American population immediately became over the last four years.

Folks haven't realized or come to terms with it (5 stages of grief?), but soon lots of people will begin to understand that every dollar they had in 2020 is worth 50c now. And will continue that way, with it being 25c by 2030 or so.

Boom. Just like that.

79 In a somewhat surprising move, former President Donald Trump addressed the Libertarian Party Convention Saturday night. It was a risky idea. Unlike his rallies, which are packed with supporters, the Libertarian Party wasn't going to be a friendly crowd. Optics are extremely important to political campaigns, and having your candidate endure the wrath of an unfriendly crowd doesn't look good.

You can request their records, providing that you know their name and approximate dates and branches of service from the National Archives.

It led me into a 'dabbleverse' of wannabe shock-jocks, low-subscription 'VTubers' who make a poor living podcasting taunts and disses at each other, and acting 'based' I guess. The signal-to-noise ratio is very low, and they're unabashed in their desperation for clicks and superchat $.

These bozos have been warning about the Rekieta decline for about a year; it turns out it wasn't a big surprise at all. In their crowd, Nick and Aaron have now earned the label of 'lolcows.' This whole foreign cosmos of simmering shit was utterly unknown to me before this weekend. Someday, somebody is going to make a killer movie or miniseries about this whole lurid epic drama.

139 From a letter my uncle wrote home from England (I believe March, 1944):
"Soon ... I do not know how soon ... I shall have to demonstrate not only how much or how well I have learned the art of killing, but how well I have taught that abominable art to others. I know what's ahead. It won't be another pleasure trip, but though it may cost me my life, I wouldn't want to miss it! Should I be among the many who inevitably must fall, remember that I didn't go without realizing the possibility that I might lose my life. Remember, too, that I give my life willingly, that I do so out of love for my country and all its people ... even the traitors and selfish slackers. If I should die on the battlefield, I beg you to leave my body there. Some day our government may provide you the opportunity to visit my grave. If so, avail yourself of that opportunity."

140 It was only a single phrase, nine words in total, found at the end of a sentence buried near the bottom of an otherwise routine obituary. Just one fact among many that made up a man’s life:

“John Alvin Cocklereece Sr., of Greensboro active for many years in local politics … served a term in the NC House of Representatives … Army veteran … who made the landing at Omaha Beach on D-Day.”

His job was to help retrieve, identify and care for the dead. Cocklereece was assigned to the 606th Quartermaster Graves Registration Company, and he went ashore in France with the Army’s 1st Infantry Division, “The Big Red One.” The 606th and companion units built the first American cemeteries in France.

141 Continuation of 139:
He wrote a "Victory Gram" from France on June 11th, 1944 (5 days after D-Day):
"Dear Folks,
Alive and well. Don’t worry. The Hun is strong, clever, and brave, but we are beating him. The past few days here have seemed like years – so much has happened.
France is beautiful. I think I’ll like it better than England. Maybe all of this free wine and champagne makes the difference! You see, it’s purer than the water from the wells which the Germans may have poisoned.
Au revoir,
Conrad"
He was KIA three days later, on June 14th, 1944. He is buried in the American cemetery in Normandy, France.

157 "The Most Dangerous Part Of The NYT Alito Flag Meltdown Is The Politicization Of Patriotism"

The Leftists are throwing American Patriotism into the same garbage can they threw every religion except Islam and heterosexuality.

Twenty years ago a big Democrat slogan was, "Dissent is the highest form of Patriotism!"

They cannot use that slogan anymore. Their entire base and too many of their so-called politicians hate the USA.

As they were taught by their parents and their teachers.

158 Tear jerker every year.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

159 From a letter my uncle wrote home from England (I believe March, 1944):
"Soon ... I do not know how soon ... I shall have to demonstrate not only how much or how well I have learned the art of killing, but how well I have taught that abominable art to others. I know what's ahead. It won't be another pleasure trip, but though it may cost me my life, I wouldn't want to miss it! Should I be among the many who inevitably must fall, remember that I didn't go without realizing the possibility that I might lose my life. Remember, too, that I give my life willingly, that I do so out of love for my country and all its people ... even the traitors and selfish slackers. If I should die on the battlefield, I beg you to leave my body there. Some day our government may provide you the opportunity to visit my grave. If so, avail yourself of that opportunity."

Sadly I never asked my FiL much, but for a break time, then not long ago found it again from records of a company comrade what he did on D-Day. What I won't find he was wounded from a bayonet a few weeks after but after recovery returned to his unit.
That didn't happen often, many returned to combat would go where needed often to a different unit.

178 Trees in the old days used to stand
And shape a shady lane
Where lovers wandered hand in hand
Who came from Carentan.//
This was the shining green canal
Where we came two by two
Walking at combat-interval.
Such trees we never knew.//
The day was early June, the ground
Was soft and bright with dew.
Far away the guns did sound,
But here the sky was blue.//
The sky was blue, but there a smoke
Hung still above the sea
Where the ships together spoke
To towns we could not see.//
Could you have seen us through a glass
You would have said a walk
Of farmers out to turn the grass,
Each with his own hay-fork.//
The watchers in their leopard suits
Waited till it was time,
And aimed between the belt and boot
And let the barrel climb.//

The judge was not amused, being a former Commander of the Department of Ohio, American Legion.

Feb 16, 1944
The “hot” beachhead suddenly became “hotter”. Gerry hit with all the artillery he had at 0600 this morning. Our work here in CB ran wild. All the CPs and batteries seemed to be shelled at once.
Brig CP and rear area quite heavily shelled. Chaplain Wallace, McDaniel, Pratt and Metz were all killed by a single round. Irony of fate. Three out of the first four killed in the battery were listed as non-combatants.

Irony of Fate, indeed.

May God Bless Wallace, McDaniel, Pratt and Metz as we honor their ultimate sacrifice aloong with many thousands of others.

262 In Flanders Fields
By John McCrae
1872 – 1918

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

324 Oh very definitely. At 24 years of age my dad was a young captain in charge oof a counter-artillery battery at Anzio. Helped formulate the contingency artillery battle plans for VI Corps in the planning for the breakout from the Sitzkrieg stalemate.

24-year-olds today, well...

No comparison, really

326 Leave it to WaPo to find controversy in Memorial Day. You see one of the first mentions was of Confederate Widows putting flowers of the graves of their loved ones.. The horror...

Did they talk about how the yankees refused to let the Southerners decorate the graves of their dead at Arlington, and the night before the ceremony there was a big storm that blew all the yankee flowers onto the Southern side?

Or did they skip that part where God did that?

327 Great to see you here, J.J!! Thank you. 🙏

In Flanders Fields, By John McCrae

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

328 295 Those of you posting the WWII era letters…

Call me crazy but I am marveling at how well they are written compared to those of similar ages in today’s time.

The eloquence of some Civil War soldiers still amazes me.

329 Latest Rafah spin...

Attack hit a camp for Displaced ~~Persons~~ People

Gaza's Health Ministry say women, children and elderly people among the dead

Israeli Military says it was targeting a Hamas installation

Military says it killed two senior Hamas militants

Strike came hours after Hamas fired barrage of rockets from Gaza [not too loaded a sentence there, eh?!]

Death toll from strike on Gaza's city of Rafah rises to at least 45 [it was 35 last night!]
----
Gee, even "Persons" is too much for the DEI crowd so it's People now?? I guess being able to use Displaced Person and knowing it means 'one refugee' [so to speak] goes against the "they" = "singular" usage.

Agreed. The men of that age were not distracted by matriarchy or video games.

Be a damn shame if something happened to those big pointy things that stick up out of the desert. Yep. A damn shame.
