The Morning Report — 8/23/24

Good morning kids. While the week-long pornographic audience participation snuff film known as the 2024 Democrat National Convention has mercifully come to an end, the multi-generational nightmare that its participants and their predecessors have unleashed on our nation and society sadly continues apace. Yet even if they fail to rig another election and install these despicable fiends in the White House, the institutional corruption that sabotaged Donald Trump's first term will still be in place to sabotage him yet again. And worse, considering what nearly happened to him in Butler Pa.

While evidently there's another would-be assassin that's on the loose gunning for Trump.

Yet as for the convention, and the willful blindness as to who and what the Democrat Party is, especially and most depressingly by Jews was on full display, not just during the convention but all over America in the wake of the savagery unleashed on Israel on 10/7 and most especially right here on our own soil in the weeks and months afterwards.

Insult meet injury:

Some of the most convincing arguments to vote Republican for president, and most House and Senate seats, are coming straight from the Democratic National Convention. Here is Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) following some infamous advice to accuse the other side of that which you are guilty:
As the highest-ranking Jewish elected official in American history, I want my grandkids and all grandkids to never, never face discrimination because of who they are. But Donald Trump— this is a guy who peddled antisemitic stereotypes. He even invited a white supremacist to Mar-a-Lago.
It is true that Trump met with Nick Fuentes, but Trump distanced himself from Fuentes when he learned of the young man’s background: “Kanye West very much wanted to visit Mar-a-Lago. Our dinner meeting was intended to be Kanye and me only, but he arrived with a guest whom I had never met and knew nothing about.”
Now let’s take a look at the company Schumer keeps himself. Here, from the prominent race hustler Al Sharpton’s own Facebook page, is a picture of him with Senator Schumer. And Schumer isn’t just shaking hands with him to be polite. Here is what Schumer says on his own Facebook page. “Fellow Brooklynite Rev. Al Sharpton is a civil rights leader, minister, activist, and radio talk show host. Rev. Sharpton is the founder of the National Action Network, which fights for one standard of justice, decency, and equal opportunities for all people.”
. . . This, American voters, is what Senator Charles Schumer calls an organization “which fights for one standard of justice, decency, and equal opportunities for all people.”
Sharpton also has some interesting words for Asians (“Chinamen” ), gay people (“Greek homos” and “punk faggots” ), and even black people he dislikes (the n-word). To this he added,
White folks was in the cave when we were building empires. We learned to admire them, but they knew to admire us. We built pyramids before Donald Trump ever knew what architecture was. We taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it.
Tell you what, Senator Schumer. When I hear Donald Trump call David Duke a civil rights leader, and depict the Ku Klux Klan as an organization “which fights for one standard of justice, decency, and equal opportunities for all people,” I may take you seriously. Until then, you, Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Kamala Harris, and many other prominent Democrats are the ones who posed with a race hustler and/or appeared at the National Action Network.

Al Sharpton is a racial arsonist who has the blood of innocents on his hands as his horrific rap sheet clearly shows. How anyone especially Jews can look at this man and not see it is beyond belief. That MSNBC can give him a platform is one reason I refer to it as MSNSDAP. And there he is front and center at the Democrat convention with Chuck Schumer heaping praise on him. Of course Schumer is Jewish by birth and his lot will surely be the Infernal Reaches.

Praising Al Sharpton. While this is happening:

The longtime leader of the Anti-Defamation League, who now serves as director emeritus, expressed concern about Jews being forced to meet in "secret locations" at the Democratic National Convention due to security threats and anti-Semitism. "I know in my heart that in the future, it will be better, for Jews in America, then [sic] it is today. But I fear it will never be the same," said Abraham Foxman in a Twitter post on Wednesday.
"After 50 years fighting anti-Semitism in America, I could not have imagined a time Jews would have to meet in secret locations in Chicago at DNC."
Foxman, a Holocaust survivor, served as director of the Jewish civil rights organization from 1987 to 2015. The ADL is now run by Jonathan Greenblatt, a former Obama aide, who has steered it in a much more partisan direction.
Foxman’s comments come as Jewish groups holding events on the sidelines of the convention have kept their meeting locations a closely guarded secret.

WIth all due respect sir, that you let Jonathan Greenblatt, a hardcore leftist Obama acolyte, take over for you when you retired speaks volumes in and of itself. And considering you yourself are a Holocaust survivor to say "I know in my heart that in the future, it will be better, for Jews in America, then [sic] it is today. in the face of everything you witnessed in Chicago is insane. This is exactly what German Jews said about Germany in 1934 right after Hitler was elected and became Fuhrer.

This is not just about Jews, my friends. This is about all of us if we continue on this trajectory that the Democrat/Socialist/Progressive/Left have put us on since Wilson, through FDR, LBJ and especially Obama and everyone who did nothing to stop them.

Hopefully now Chucky can choke on his pastrami in peace.

Have a good weekend.

ISRAEL vs IRAN & GAZA/HAMAS/Hezbollah . . . AND BIDEN

Hamas began this war by violating the cease-fire in effect on Oct. 6; it remains dedicated to Israel’s utter destruction and plainly means to use any new cease-fire to rearm so it can rape, kidnap and murder again. And it’s absurd to think any promise of “hands off on Yahya” would last an instant longer than what must be a temporary cease-fire, as Israel cannot let Hamas survive this war.

Gaza is not only a problem for the Israelis but for much of the world as well. It is a telling fact that no Arab states have opened their doors to Gazan refugees, recognizing as did Jordan in 1970 during the Black September movement that the Palestinians were a destabilizing force. Jordan expelled the cohort to Lebanon where it has since effectively destroyed the country. The surrounding Arab states are no fools and want nothing to do with Gaza. To counter their indifference, the ever-credulous West has taken up the slack out of “compassion” or political calculation — more grateful voters. We have seen the bedlam caused by Palestinians and their buddies in New York and should not be surprised that over 1,000 police officers called in sick rather than protect the Democrat National Convention in Chicago, a city which, as Rick Moran indicates, “is home to the largest concentration of "Palestinians" in the United States.” The chaos that ensued could have been — and was — predicted; that is what these people and their sympathizers do. Again, Moran is correct: “The brain-dead protesters in Chicago don't realize or don't care that terrorists are manipulating them into doing their bidding.”

“I know we can live up to our proud heritage as a nation of immigrants and reform our broken immigration system,” Harris said on the final night of the DNC. “We can create an earned pathway to citizenship and secure our border.” That “earned pathway to citizenship” is presumably designed to allow the nation’s 11 to 22 million illegal aliens to apply for green cards, and eventually, secure naturalized American citizenship via legislation that remains opposed by the majority of lawmakers in the House and Senate.

17 Trudeau's last two announcements about the potential and then actual rail strike came across as predictably weak and ignorable. First, just before the contract ran out:

"My message is very straightforward. It is in the best interest of both sides to continue doing the hard work at the table to find a negotiated resolution," he said. "Millions of Canadians, of workers, of farmers, of businesses right across the country are counting on both sides to do the work and get to a resolution."

And of course, they ignored him. After the strike began:

"We are not taking this lightly, obviously, because Canadians across the country are worried about this," he said as he left a local manufacturer in Sherbrooke, Que.

Real strong statements there, Pajama-boy.

Note that the announcement about the binding arbitration being imposed, and the extension of the existing work contract beyond its deadline came from the Federal Labour minister, NOT Trudeau. (This is actually appropriate, but I'm glad to see that someone basically shoved the weak horse back in his stall.)

31 Funniest but sardonic take on the DNC by Douglas Murray of NY Post:

Best acting performances at fake convention:

32 Kamala told the Teachers Union convention that PDJT wants to be a dictator and intends to order the US military into America's streets. Also, he sent an "armed mob" into the capital to overturn democracy and egged them on.

Because non-dictators establish price controls and nationalize patents and IP.

Wasn't it the DNC who stole an election, surrounded their Imperial City with tens of thousands of National Guard traitors who aimed their guns at We The People helping to perfect the coup d'etat while Biden already had plans to force the Kill Shot on all Americans?

35 Reading the "J6 Prisoner for 3+ Years With No Trial..."
Amazing to me we have political prisoners in this country. People have grumbled a bit, attacked Trump for not doing anything since he left office, other than that, nothing. No marches in Washington DC demanding justice for them.

Deep down do we realize how stupid a protest/march for the J6 prisoners would be? How many people marching for the J6 prisoners would it take to possibly be safe in not having every one of our asses thrown in prison right next to them?

Is this subconscious admission to how truly screwed we are that no grassroots organizing for a march has taken place?

The J6'ers being held captive really seemed to rile people up until it didn't anymore.

36 Jake Lang wasn't a Boy Scout on January 6. He wanted to get inside the Capitol but was repelled by law enforcement and teargas, even as he and others tried to save Rosanne Boyland from being trampled and overcome by the police chemical spray. She died at his feet after a law enforcement officer—a woman—took her baton and beat Boyland on the head and neck as she was lying on the ground unconscious. When police finally removed her body after watching the beating, they dragged her off to declare her deceased.

The WSJ occasionally includes a magazine type insert that covers fashion and celebrity interviews.

97 In a cheesy address at the convention, Emhoff played his Jewish card. He said Harris had helped him connect more deeply to his Jewish faith; she accompanied him to synagogue during the high holidays; and she made “a mean brisket” for Passover that “brings me right back to my grandmother’s apartment in Brooklyn; you know, the one with the plastic-covered couches.”

This is aimed at persuading those who think that Jewish identity is about brisket, sepia-colored memories of booba in Brooklyn and twice-a-year synagogue visits that Harris has the interests of the Jewish people at heart.

In fact, Emhoff has a starring role in a circus of deceit being used to launder a viciously anti-Israel and anti-Jewish agenda. There are sacred texts explaining that, too.

108 Donald Trump on Thursday night drastically pivoted his stance on Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, a Republican who, just weeks ago, he called a “bad guy” and “average governor.”

In a post to Truth Social, Trump thanked the governor for all his “help and support in Georgia where a win is so important to the success of our Party and, most importantly, our Country.”

“I look forward to working with you, your team, and all of my friends in Georgia to help MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Trump added.

Trump’s post came less than 10 minutes after Kemp appeared on Sean Hannity’s prime-time Fox News show and reiterated his support for electing Republicans up and down the ballot — including Trump. Kemp said he was working to support efforts on the ground.

“We’ve got to win. We have to win from the top of the ticket down. I have been saying consistently, for a long time, we cannot afford another four years of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and I think Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are going to be even worse,” Kemp told Hannity.

Rowe argued that the near-assassination of Trump served as a wake-up call to the agency – “an opportunity to examine our own paradigm and examine our own methodologies, to challenge assumptions, to look at the new dynamic threat environment we’re operating in, look at the demand in which we’re placing on our people.”

Obama was also a Fake Black but he fixed that by marrying Michelle [shudders]. No such commitment from Kamala.

But how much voting fraud has already been going on, and will we see something special in November. Developing …

115 Morning Horde , thanks JJ. I was in law school when the Tawana Brawley was happening in the county across the river from where I live. In my county a African American teenage girl was found dead with signs of molestation. Turns out she had OD'ed and a transient molested her body. Sharpton, Mason and Maddox showed up in my hometown and threatened the crap they pulled across the river. Our DA told them if they pulled that crap they'd be in jail. They went home

And the proper response is to immediately demand, "Stop spouting nonsensical corporate-bafflegab. If you can't speak plainly, put someone in front of the microphone who can."

Then move to Heckling if they can't shift gears away from the obvious obfuscation and lies. There needs to be a lot more of this like there used to be.

127 When the government taxes your capital gains it's like you have a Mob Boss Partner. "Tony" wants a cut of your winnings but doesn't help cover your losses.

Because of this, if capital gains rates are high it drives investors to take less risk which means a slower growth economy.

"The boy from Arkansas took the stage for half an hour to remind people of the good old days. By which he meant the days of George Washington.

Some other moron had an interresting observation as well.

If Trump was Hitler than they'd be obligated to continue pointing out that Trump is Hitler. They've stopped because they shot him in the head and it's hurting them in the polls.

All of that anger and hatred and destruction of personal relationships and of the nation, with people injured and one man dead and a POTUS shot in the head, and it was for nothing more than some percentage points in voting polls.

We're on the opposite side of the table from truly evil people.

Given that expectations were sky-high and she gave a dud of a speech no different than what Joe Biden would have given ....

By Wednesday next week, she'll be behind in most of the polls.

Her entire "surge" was manufactured on curiosity of voters, giving her a chance as she was supposed to be the "not Joe" Democrat.
She firmly and completely embraces all of Joe's vile attacks and anti-American policies.
Trump and Republicans have to be tickled pink--she completely nuked any chance of pretending to run as an "outsider" or reform candidate last night.

They're not. Not at all. But young men want to have sex, so they smile and pretend and say "you look great" to these damaged young women. And I don't use that "damaged" term lightly. I bet every single prison tattoo tells a story of trauma.

It was pointed out a couple of days ago, but it's part of the "if you can't handle me at my worst you don't deserve me at my best" manipulation. Here's my worst, permanently, every day. Now you spend your money on me, take me out on dates, take me places, etc. if you want a chance at this vagina that I give out freely to men that are more famous or better looking or richer than you.

-

Same thing they did last time. Be told that they have no standing, or have the cases delayed by the courts/judges so that they were no longer applicable. And then win when they're allowed to go to court.

And people who protest will be jailed and left without trials for 3+ years, same as today.

And there won't be a specifically-timed event to put the House into an emergency session so that only the election can be certified without discussion or motions reaching the floor, so the (D)s can fight it at the legislative level for as long as they like.

The nation will come apart at the seams. It already has, honestly. The question is if it will burst or just slowly begin to lose the stuffing.

Men must stop loving and being compassionate. And MAGA males wonder why they cannot find girlfriends and consider themselves incels. Trump and JD hardly exude testosterone.

I honestly thought that they were beach towels set out on the foliage to dry in the sun when first I saw them.

LOL. Or running mates are less vital than ever.

In my area, there are plenty of folks who have Trump paraphernalia up. A couple of them have had that stuff up since 2019, but most of it is new.

I have seen *one* "Trump-Vance" sign. One. Plenty of Trump signs, but few with Vance involved. Now, Vance stuff is all new and so there might not be much of it yet, but I also suspect people don't really care about VP. Not in either race.

>>But, Trump has several paths without PA.
They all do kinda hinge on GA, though.

Again, he can win with GA, VA and NV to get to 270.

Mi, Pa and Wi have pretty much fortified their cheating so I don't believe he can win them.

Ga and Va have made moves to clean up their voting, so I think Trump has a good shot at winning them.

Az seems to be moving in the right direction, so it looks like there is another state that might be able to be leveraged.

Bottom line, the election is going to be a razor's edge and the outcome is going to tell the tale if The Republic survives.

Rendell blew up his credibility around two or three years ago when he was a prominent supporter of an effort to have "safe houses" set up in Philly neighborhoods in which intravenous drug users could shoot up safely and with medical assistance readily at hand.

The neighborhoods' residents went thermonuclear over the proposal and chewed on his ass vigorously. He's not been seen in public since then. The story now going around is that he is in ill health.

379 Harris has successfully obtained the Democrat nomination despite never getting a single primary vote in 2 primary elections. And her unbelievably bad speech last night showed it. She's never been challenged and allowed to coast through on "vibes".

All that is about to come to an end. Even if the media continues to run cover for her the Trump campaign is going to hammer her on issues, particularly at the 2 debates.

Barring some Black Swan event like world peace breaking out or the economy magically recovering in the next couple months it's hard to see how things get better for her from here.

387 >>My Lord is Kamala bad at this.

To get catty (again) for a moment: I am amazed at how bad her clothes are. There are a lot of powerful women who have created their own style that enhances their image w/out overpowering it. Two good examples: Pelosi and Elizabeth Warren.

Pelosi must spend a fortune on clothes. She almost always looks polished, with killer suits and matching jewelry. If you haven't noticed it, that's proof at how effective it is, that it doesn't dazzle or distract, yet you know it has to be expensive, designer stuff.

Elizabeth Warren has done something amazing: she created her own uniform: dark pants, simple white or black top and a bright, stylish jacket or sweater. As with Pelosi, you don't notice it because it is simple, yet stylish and predictable.

That Harris is so poorly styled is a mystery. There are people who are very good at this, why has she not hired any of them???

Statistically, this cannot be true - but I think it comes down to a problem of nomenclature and attitude.

The recent shocking projections and survey results show that more than *half* of young men don't even try to date at this point. Only half of men - barely, and it will fall through the threshold next year or the year after - even go on a single date in *high school* (for perspective, 3/4 of Boomer men dated in high school).

That's bigger than a simple partisan divide, especially because young men are trending conservative in political leanings. There are a *ton* of so-called "incels" out there who are not leftists. Statistically, there *must* be. This is a much broader problem.

But non-leftist young men are probably less likely to identify as an "incel" or whatever, and more likely to provide different commentary on potential changes to norms to improve their odds.

There is more overlap there than meets the eye. The difference is in what to do about it. "Monk Mode" is as unnatural as "incels" are. It's a difference in the expression of the condition (withdraw and control what you can within your power, vs. wallow in it and cultivate pathological rage), but the underlying problem is broad.

Nomenclature and attitude differences. Insofar as "incels" describe the attitude and response, yes there are probably fairly few non-leftist "incels." The underlying condition that causes that expression, however, is much broader. There are other expressions for it and "Monk Mode" is one of them.

So the DU plan to get moderates who voted for Trump is ....?

A 5% increase in the unmarried women vote is worth less than a 1% increase in the non-college vote.

This ain't the old GOPe, that would rather pick up a soggy dog turd bare-handed than speak to a blue collar group.

>>Without massive fraud, Trump wins this. At least on election day. What comes next will be something to behold as the democrats and deep state will stop at nothing to prevent him from taking office, and there will be street fighting everywhere. Perhaps the threat of this is what they are banking on.

As has been noted, the Deep State and Uniparty are less than three months away from potentially ending the threat of The Orange Menace for good, what do you suppose they are prepared to do to achieve that?

They tried to kill him last month, so they are obviously prepared to go to the mattresses to prevent him from ever sitting behind the resolute desk ever again.

437 The difference is in what to do about it. "Monk Mode" is as unnatural as "incels" are.

While recent generations were different as you note, the Monk Mode think is historically normal. In the Victorian age, for example, the average age of marriage for men was 26.

The expectation was that a man would provide for his wife and children and that was much easier to do after he had a career/skills.

442 >>Conversely a significant portion of young men are literally embracing the meme of "Disregard Females, Acquire Currency" because *later* that will later get you the romantic relationship you want and a career/nest egg/life you want overall.

The Left, particularly feminists, have done everything to disrupt the formation of normal, stable male/female relationships. They've killed chivalry, dating, marriage - all relationship norms.

That Young men today are having trouble dating/forming relationships is to be expected. Demonizing them for it as "incels" is disgusting. And yes, it's normal young men that they smear as incels, not the truly woman-hating, anti-social Lefty men.

That's not what this is. This is, "the market is hopeless and I have no chance. I will just withdraw and make my best life as well as I can, and if the status changes, then great - I'll do it later. If not, not." A lot of "Monk Mode" guys are going a different way and just hanging out minimally, having determined that they'll never get a chance at forming a family so they minimize work and maximize non-work. It isn't even irrational, but it *is* a bad signal for the future both economically and socially.

Old-fashioned "invest now so as to land the best available mate later" isn't what's going on. Some men do this still - "looks maxing" and "wealth maxing" - but it isn't the baseline motivation anymore.

I also love spaniels, except the ears which are a great source of blackjacks, thorns, ticks, lint, etc. We looked after a black spaniel and a white cat for someone who took long leave (8 months) in Uganda. The dog raised the female cat when kitty's mom got killed. Dog still had milk from having pups herself. Years later, when we got them for 8 months, the black dog would still lay down and the white cat would attack the milk bar. Contrast!
Sad when the owners came back from the UK. Dog was all excited but the cat did not want to go. Kitty was very attached to us. I need to write something more, maybe Pet Thread.
(I don't know if the kitty had litter mates).

This is exactly what German Jews said about Germany in 1934 right after Hitler was elected and became Fuhrer.

Actually, he was never elected chancellor or to a seat in the Reichstag. That's something that both the American right and left get wrong quite often. He was appointed chancellor by President von Hindenburg because he was head of the NSDAP, but didn't win election to the post.

He took power as chancellor legally, but not by being elected.

They are directly related. As standards of comportment and behavior fell (the Sexual Revolution forward), the number of men involved in the market has fallen.

Consider the recent stats - assuming they're accurate - and you'll see the logical problem. Half or so of men don't date at all. No matter what depraved thing "dating" is or is called, around half of young men simply don't engage. Yet a minority - and a fairly small one - of young women don't date at all.

There's only one way to square that circle: harems.

462 Harris, in part, "As President, I will bring together labor and workers and small business owners and entrepreneurs and American companies to create jobs to grow our economy and to lower the cost of everyday needs like health care and housing and groceries. We will provide access to capital for small business owners and entrepreneurs and founders, and we will end American's housing shortage and protect Social Security and Medicare."

So, SSDD as O&Joe's (Presidency of Barack Obama, wikipedia) AND Joe's and Harris' administration (bailouts,
increased control, etc.) but we might need to wait in line for carrots grown by a small unionized 'farm' business getting support through reparation stimulus via government distribution?

Registration has begun under President Joe Biden’s offer of a path to citizenship to spouses of U.S. citizens without having to first leave the country. Associated Press, August 19, 2024

In part, "To be eligible, spouses must have lived in the United States continuously for 10 years as of June 17, 2024, and been married by then. The Biden administration estimates 500,000 spouses could benefit, plus 50,000 stepchildren of U.S. citizens."
