The Morning Report — 9/3/24

Good Morning Kids. This past weekend marked both the 85th anniversary of the start of the Second World War and the 79th anniversary of its official conclusion, with the signing of the surrender of Japan aboard the U.S.S. Missouri.

As General Douglas Macarthur stated:

It is my earnest hope and indeed the hope of all mankind that from this solemn occasion a better world shall emerge out of the blood and carnage of the past - a world founded upon faith and understanding - a world dedicated to the dignity of man and the fulfillment of his most cherished wish - for freedom, tolerance and justice. . . It is my earnest hope and indeed the hope of all mankind that from this solemn occasion a better world shall emerge out of the blood and carnage of the past - a world founded upon faith and understanding - a world dedicated to the dignity of man and the fulfillment of his most cherished wish - for freedom, tolerance and justice.

While one can certainly make the case that the blood and carnage of the past are indeed the human condition. Over the course of human history, in spite of that, there have always been people who have striven to make Macarthur's prayers and hope come true.

Yet here we are 80 years on and the nation that was founded as the exception to history to be that shining example of freedom tolerance and justice has rotted out from within by the forces of venality, tyranny and oppression who seek our souls and our destruction to satisfy their base desires for absolute control.

Obviously, today as we look to the rest of the world, and most especially to where the precepts of our founders, the Judeo-Christian tradition and Western civilization itself, were born, the land of Israel, it's all collapsing in on itself in an orgy of ancient bloodlust and hatred, as retrograde forces continue their never-ending quest to conquer the world, and/or destroy it if they cannot have it. The twin monsters of slam and Leftism.

I'll have to keep it brief today, as I have a very early doctors appointment.

Have a good day, keep the faith, and don't let the bastards get you down.

Hasta mañana.

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

Israel rejects accusation. Also today, Hamas threatened to release videos showing ‘last messages’ of 6 murdered hostages.

35 The number of pages in the Code of Federal Regulations has gone from 100,000 in the early 1980s to more than 180,000 today. The budget of regulatory agencies has swelled from under $20 billion to about $70 billion, while staffing at such agencies has doubled, to almost 300,000, from its deregulation-era nadir. Estimates of the annual cost of regulations, just at the federal level, keep rising, ranging as high as $3 trillion annually.

I had that problem a couple of years ago with flies outside. Never knew why they showed up, but bought a pouch at Lowe's that you hang and fill with water. Some kind of bait is inside. Flies can get in, but can't get out. Had to use two, haven't had that problem since.

71 Good Morning Kids. This past weekend marked both the 85th anniversary of the start of the Second World War and the 79th anniversary of its official conclusion, with the signing of the surrender of Japan aboard the U.S.S. Missouri.

First World Problem: Since the treaty was signed on the "Next Day" part of the world (eastern hemisphere), what day was VJ?

Surrender happened in Japan's time on the 15th of August, but it was the 14th in the former United States.

But politicians being politicians, it isn't official nor historically significant until they have blessed it so 2 September is what we get.

2019:

"President Donald Trump has threatened to impose 5% tariffs on Mexico starting next week unless the Mexican government stops the flow of migrants coming to the U.S. border. Trump said he would increase the tariffs by 5 percentage points each month and warned they could reach 25% by Oct. 1. ...

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said that Trump administration officials got an earful from lawmakers expressing “deep concern and resistance to imposing tariffs on trade with Mexico because it would hurt American jobs... if the outcome of this game of chicken is massive new tariffs that destroy jobs in Texas, and across the country, that would be a terrible mistake.”

We recently accidentally discovered that leaving out a dose of Nyquil overnight will catch gnats, flies, etc. that you didn't even know were in your house. I think it's sweet / odiferous (colorful?) enough to attract them and way too sticky and viscous for them to escape once they touch it.

I'd try a little saucer instead of the dosing cup if I were intentionally trying to attract them, though. Good luck.

168 Can't beat the cheat ok? Let's check.

There is an upper limit of the number of ballots they can manufacture. What they don't know is how many they need
What is that limit? Well:
1) They thought, in 2020, after over 2 months of steadily dumping fake ballots into the system, that there was no way Trump could over-come that. The 2am Panic was realization they didn't have enough and they had to buy time for the ballots they thought they wouldn't need to be inserted.
2) They dumped Joe. Because Democrats weren't going to vote for him. Giving up the power of incumbency and the pomp of Presidency.
3) They're stealing Trump's ideas. Those are blue-collar, working class issues. And this is the biggest tell--because the ballots they have and will have are no where near enough: They need lots more actual votes.

A Kamala presidency would just add a few more nails to the coffin. Closing the border will not stop the slide to third world status with their millions of anchor babies every year. The only thing that could would be a massive, non-stop deportation along with harsh policies to make the lives here untenable so the rest self-deport .

Oddly, lots of paint that was *supposed* to be available in the fleet simply wasn't there.

186 Pennsylvania is starting to worry me. Big time. How can the same electorate vote against Doug Mastriano so strongly turn around and now support Trump?

1. Pollsters are boosting Trump's support. Maybe they don't want to under-count Trump's support like 2016 and 2020? Or they want to curry favor with Republicans. Or, it's an election strategy. Show Trump winning and it boosts turnout.

2. Or, it is pure sexism and misogyny. Obama, Biden, Shapiro, Fetterman, and Harris are all the same flavor of Democrat. There's little policy differences between them. The only difference is that Harris is a woman.

Trafalgar is right biased - nearly as bad as Rasmussen. Right wing pollsters are polling more frequently to rein in Harris' surge. These are sinister folks. You never know what specific stunt they'll try to pull to try to steal it.

This is one of the great failings of our democracy, where the media is literally conspiring to misstate actual facts on the ground. We need to have a reckoning of evaluating media, and grading them, for trustworthiness and such.

PA is a concern. It is almost like Harris wave missed PA.

208 One of the biggest concepts I've been struggling with lately is whether freedom or liberty are actually virtues in and of themselves. These things are ingrained in our American culture and we are inculcated with those ideas early on and often, and assume them as intrinsically true.

But are they? If I have the freedom or liberty to worship Satan, is that freedom actually virtuous, or is it more just a description of a state of being that is neither intrinsically good or bad?

Generally speaking, as I view it, we actually restrict our own freedoms and liberty in order to orient ourselves towards the morally virtuous. I constrain myself to monogamy to achieve virtue. I eschew my covetousness to orient myself towards the virtuous. I stay my tongue from the things I'd like to say, to conform myself to virtue.

I would be curious to know what 'Looney's personal definition of "selfless" is.

JFK fought in a war, served with miserable pain, and was gunned down by the Deep State for all of his efforts.

Joe did what? Sell the US down the river to benefit his friends and family?

229 Nein nein nein!

Graf Spee was a panzerschiff aka pocket battleship.

Scharnhorst and her sistership, even armed with 11in guns, were still considered pocket battleships because they lacked the heavier armor of a battleship.

Bismarck and Tirpitz with their 8 15in guns and displacement of over 50,000 tons were true battleships.

Right. It's vital. Every system has rules, and the masters of the system must pretend to follow them. Even autocracies and absolute monarchies have rules and courts and the leaders keep up appearances.

"The consent of the governed" is *always* in play and revolution or coup is a continuous risk for every government in history. They absolutely must keep up appearances. It's why "the elections will be canceled" and similar aren't real risks. The elections may well be stage-managed into the "correct" outcome, but they will not be canceled. They're too important. They're a cornerstone of the system, and one of the sources of legitimacy for it.

Even brutal Party states like Red China and North Korea have courts and laws and procedures and they even occasionally punish Party men with them. They *must* keep up appearances. All governments have to.

To most of the world, this term meant very little, and was largely ignored.

Oh, we do. Publicly.

Take Kevin Clinesmith as a "for instance." He was the scapegoat. They transferred all of the sins of Russiagate onto him, and then punished him publicly. Lightly, but publicly.

Then they very quietly undid the punishment when they were confident - with good reason, as it turns out - that nobody would notice. But they *did* technically punish him for it.

The other Party Men who get punished do so for factional reasons, which is the normal model. This is what things like Xi's "anti-corruption" campaigns are all about. Lots of Party Men get punished during internal purges, but they tend to use the public systems to do it, again because it helps build confidence.

"See? Party Men go to jail all the time. Sure, they happen to be in the wrong faction, but don't ask too many questions."

It was truly was amazing work. Even the capsized USS Oklahoma was righted, re-floated and patched-up enough, on a low-priority basis, to be towed out to sea attempting to get her to the West Coast. To be scrapped. She sank under-tow not far along that journey. I can't recall when, but I believe it was after the war ended. Maybe early 1946.

This is stage four or five of the invasion, sadly. I'm friends with a sheriff's deputy who works in a very rural, very homogenous, very conservative county. He said the cartels have a strong foothold even there, and it's not uncommon for a drug dealer to disappear and turn up in another state. Burned up, chopped up, eaten by hogs (but some piece of evidence left behind), etc. They're satellites of the big boys operating out of Atlanta and such.

This apartment-seizing and entire brand new towns of illegals in Texas and those areas are probably just the next stage. Conquered territory and what-not.

The opening sentence is remarkable for how off-base it is:
"And here's the one thing that nobody saw coming, and this is the competition of states."

Seriously? The idea that states within the Union compete with each other is new? That comparative regulatory and tax rate environments have nothing to do with business and nobody engages in arbitrage? That cost of living isn't a factor? That quality of life isn't a factor?

This has been true since Day Zero of this country. There's even a phrase for it: "fifty state laboratories."

This makes me angry. It’s the most ridiculous thing, the premise itself is stupid. They are 2 different types of food that do different types of things for your body. Healthier v. Not healthier is silly - you cannot (or should not) live on cheerios alone, not eggs alone, nor ground beef alone.

Cheerios offers your body fiber, decent carbs plus vitamins added to the cereal. In terms of a processed food, it’s pretty okay, assuming you don’t add a bunch of sugar. Using a nut milk without sugar helps, too. Are there better cereal options out there? In my opinion yes, because I like food to go through the least amount of processing possible. But is it bad? No.

Eggs - great provider of protein. Poached over whole grain toast with sautéd spinach, or peppers or both, is an egg-celent breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Ground beef - it’s beef. You can make little steaks, you can make hamburgers. You can add it to all kinds of things and it adds protein some fats, etc.

Those cows were brought to Israel in 2022 by Uvne Jerusalem, "a group committed to seeing a Third Jewish Temple rebuilt in the Holy City."

Wait until you see them hanging from the over pass. This is the stage when hiding the bodies no longer matters - defunding police, etc. I am shocked they are even trying to hide the bodies now, that is not a normal thing. Usually they like to use the bodies as messages. Our Chicago gangbangers are in for a little treat here, and this is when it gets really interesting because our thugs, thuggish as they are, are not as sadistic as these gangs are. Our gangs like to intimidate and be Billy Badtush. These gangs don’t care. They cut your head off and leave it on the sidewalk. We need to undue this quickly.

We can't, sadly. It's almost certain that the feds are working with the cartels for importation of the illegals, and the cartels have become deeply embedded in theft rings throughout the U.S. Not low-rent silliness like going in stores, though. Coordinated theft of delivery trucks. IIRC Nike was losing $1M in merchandise per day last year.

The only way this ends is military action, and that will never happen. Well, not against the cartels and illegals.

317 On yard signs, I had a thought about manipulation of voters.

One benefit I see to Harris signs is that the *other* signs in the yard are a good indicator of which down-ballot candidates should be avoided. If the person is willing to put up a Harris sign, I probably want nothing to do with the other candidates the person supports. Birds of a feather.

But boy could you potentially poison the well that way, if you could do it at scale. Put up a Trump sign and have the rest of the signs be for down-ballot leftists, to take away lo-fo votes from those down-ballot leftists because those on the Left will do the same thing: conclude "if the MAGAt likes X, Y and Z, then I'd better vote against X, Y and Z in November."

"According to The Temple Institute - another well-known organization in Jerusalem with aspirations to construct a Third Temple - Jewish priests are already prepared and standing at the ready to reinstitute the animal sacrificial system."

"However, most Jewish people in Israel do not share the vision of a rebuilt Temple - and the official position of the Israeli government is to "maintain the status quo" on the Temple Mount. Nonetheless, there is a small but growing sentiment within Israel to see a Third Jewish Temple rise majestically upon the holy hill of Zion.

1) They thought, in 2020, after over 2 months of steadily dumping fake ballots into the system, that there was no way Trump could over-come that. The 2am Panic was realization they didn't have enough and they had to buy time for the ballots they thought they wouldn't need to be inserted.
2) They dumped Joe. Because Democrats weren't going to vote for him. Giving up the power of incumbency and the pomp of Presidency.
3) They're stealing Trump's ideas. Those are blue-collar, working class issues. And this is the biggest tell--because the ballots they have and will have are no where near enough: They need lots more actual votes.

Right. It's vital. Every system has rules, and the masters of the system must pretend to follow them. Even autocracies and absolute monarchies have rules and courts and the leaders keep up appearances.

"The consent of the governed" is *always* in play and revolution or coup is a continuous risk for every government in history. They absolutely must keep up appearances. It's why "the elections will be canceled" and similar aren't real risks. The elections may well be stage-managed into the "correct" outcome, but they will not be canceled. They're too important. They're a cornerstone of the system, and one of the sources of legitimacy for it.

Even brutal Party states like Red China and North Korea have courts and laws and procedures and they even occasionally punish Party men with them. They *must* keep up appearances. All governments have to.

This election is not going to go well, it's going to be similar to the Red Wave of 22 where people thought because everything was sh*t that the bums would be tossed out, well, that didn't happen, the Donks control of enough voting apparatuses and the GOP lack of running on anything that could be attractive to any constituency has led to a massive lack of enthusiasm for Republican voters to get off their asses and vote.

Having said, that, Republican voters are going to come out and vote, if they vote in the record numbers I believe they should be motivated to do, Trump and the GOP have a shot, if they don't come out, then, I would prepare you and your family for the sh*tstorm that is going to be unleashed by The Junta, it's not going to be pretty.

366 MacArthur's address on the Missouri was surprisingly short. If you've never read it, click the link and check it out.

The original NATO charter is very short as well. Around 1300 words, which is remarkably brief for a document with such series ramifications. It's written very plainly, too, and not in legalese, so it's easy to read and understand.

Prayer and evangelism is what this country needs. The government is there to punish the wicked. Just because it's not going the way you think it should doesn't mean that it's not what God intends. If you want liberty and justice, spend more time preaching and less time worrying about the president. That doesn't mean you can't worry about the president, but it's going to be a waste of time without the prayer and evangelism.

German deindustrialization is going to be a big story. German companies have been moving the industrial base out of Germany for years now. Between COVID and the energy policies, and the gas problems since the Russia/Ukraine war, there are now structural problems so huge that it could mark a secular shift in the German economy.

We're a decently big winner in this, for what it's worth. Many German companies are moving production to the US, mostly in the South.

According to this view, God isn't interested in creation. He just created the world and, basically got the heck out. The Bible repeatedly says "God helps those who cannot help themselves." This is not to counsel a passivity in the face of evil and injustice. It just stresses the God is ultimately in control and we need to rely on His wisdom.

In politics and even world affairs--no country is 'lost'. What is more true is that the government regime and the people of that state no longer align.

Canada is a truly massive place in land area and that results in considerable differences on the ground between provinces and even inside a couple of them based on geologic features (British Columbia for example).

The usual result in such situations where the Liberal Dems are strongest in urban areas is that as you get away from the cities--power wanes.

Australia has a similar dynamic. Big country, few large cities dominate the political system via representation.

Wasn't a regular Coal miner digging in the mines

Their claim is Republicans massively disenfranchise voters. Basically if less then 100% of the eligible population votes its because the right stopped those other voters all of whom were planning on voting for the leftwing candidate.

They then use this to justify their massive efforts to vote on behalf of people that don't because those people would have voted D if not stopped.

437 382 Obama, Biden, Shapiro, Fetterman, and Harris are all the same flavor of Democrat.

There is almost no policy difference between any Democrat officeholder. Why? Because they do not themselves determine what the policies will be - their masters do. And they all answer to the same masters.

This is 100% true and false, simultaneously. All the candidates have the same goal in mind (for example, universal government provided healthcare), but the candidates adopt phony positions along the spectrum leading to that goal. You have the far lefty like Bernie to motivate the activists, the fake moderate like Lieberman to talk slow incrementalism and bipartisanship, and then the blank slate like Obama (or they're trying with Harris) who says vague nothings and people project their own beliefs onto the candidate.

446 First they cut the grain, then they spread it out to dry, then the baling device comes along with a huge green tank on top which picks up the grain and sprays it with some chemical.

I've seen this in operation which is why I avoid breakfast cereals.
Posted by: Divide by Zero
======
The chemical in question is a growth regulator primarily used in imported oats. It stunts the growth of oat plants to put more of the energy into producing the head of grain and less in producing a stalk. This also increases yield by making the plants shorter which increases resistance to being damaged by high winds.

Why don't they talk about updating voter rolls to accurately reflect census numbers so that they can go door to door and help their stupid voters who don't know what day it is to vote get to the polls?!

The argument they make is that it is way to hard for people to go register to vote again if they are accidentally removed. Now this is the ONLY area they make this argument - people needing to spend time on their taxes, having their vehicle inspected, or washing their recyclables is perfectly fine.

Note their arguments make no sense. But this is what they are.

Right now, Ohio Repubs think he is losing by a hair, and Brown's advertising ("Moreno stole from his employees") is effective and working. Also, thanks to his commie wife, Connie Shultz, he can expect votes in the Youngtown area (where her family has deep union roots) in split-ballot voting.
Posted by: Huck Follywood
========
Brown is in the danger zone for incumbents. He is polling below 50 percent consistently since the GOP primary at about 46-47 percent. In a wave election, incumbents in that shape usually lose as undecided and new voters break against the incumbent. But, as always, all politics is local.

Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania right now appear close--GOP candidates are running behind but less than usual against underwhelming Dem incumbents in each state. Baldwin, Slotkin, and Casey, are pretty much generic Dems which can make them vulnerable.

Out West, Tester is probably going down this time, Rosen and Gallegos are beginning to pull away but have not yet sealed the deal.

They seriously believe that "when we vote, we win."
So, the only way they don't win is if Republicans cheat by keeping their voters from voting.
So yeah, all the things they did in 2020/22 were not to cheat but to counter the Republican cheating.

Related is, they really believe that Democrats are popular. Like celebrity, rock star, top athlete popular.
So, again, Republican cheat by spreading lies about these modern-day saints and heros.

Were the Jews even in Israel yet, when those were handed down? I have a vague notion that they that was supposed to be while they were wandering around the desert for 40 years.

Not so much choice but the lack of reasonable limitations & useful education (precautions, diseases, laws, mental health, etc.) for both young females and males, all imho.

Linux will be ready for primetime when the big PC games get written for it. Not via a Win emulator but natively.
(disclaimer: I play zero games).
Open Office and Libre Office have the business side covered already and if Linux made serious inroads to Windows then MS would release a Linux version of MS Office.

510 There is no doubt the families had a right to observe the anniversary at Arlington and to invite Trump to be there with them. There is also no doubt that the Army, which administers Arlington National Cemetery, tried to stop the event. (Secretary of the Army Christine Wormuth is, of course, a Biden appointee.) Army officials reportedly dragged their feet and “stymied” the families’ request to have Trump, according to Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX), who heard of the families’ problems and enlisted House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) to intercede with Arlington officials to get approval for the event.

511 Daddy Government is afraid because his “children” are done negotiating.

Shurk's article is a good one that too few people will read. Like the 4 dead and 50 hospitalized by bad product from Boar’s Head.

The government didn't protect those people from tainted meat. They let the problems fly for months before public pressure shut down the plant.

Too many Normies grow up with loving parents, and then expect government to take on the role once they move out from their parents' home. Problem is, this attitude turns most Normies into perpetual adolescents.

We need more parents who take an insurgent view of government.

512 Linux Mint - If you are not a gamer, if you are not required or by some odd necessity must use Microsft. Otherwise there is no reason to use that invasive, manipulative, morally corrosive, un-American pos.
