The Morning Report

The Morning Report — 9/5/24

Good Morning Kids. So, a couple of items this morning beg the question of incompetence, malice aforethought, an innate flaw within the system or some perfect storm of all of the above (or something else that I'm missing) that altogether, or piecemeal can result in disaster:

The big story that broke yesterday was a school shooting in Georgia that left four dead and 30 wounded. As many commenters were speculating yesterday, perhaps this might get covered up because it might have been yet another psychotic transexual targeting whites, Christians and/or those labeled as threats to our "precious democracy" by the Leftists.

It certainly isn't the violent foreign criminal gangs intentionally unleashed on we the poeople via the treasonous act of erasing our border.

That of course on top of the intentional and equally treasonous act of decriminalization of crime by our own native born thugs and scum.

But here's the kicker:

Colt Gray, the teen suspected of gunning down four people at a Georgia high school Wednesday, has been on the FBI’s radar since last year — when he was investigated by local authorities in connection to online school shooting threats, the bureau revealed.
In May 2023, the FBI received several anonymous tips about threats to carry out violence at an unidentified school, with the harrowing posts including photos of guns, according to a Wednesday night statement from the bureau’s Atlanta field office.
The Jackson County Sheriffs’ Office identified Gray, then 13, as a possible suspect and interviewed him and his father. . .
. . . Georgia Bureau of Investigation Director Chris Hosey confirmed that authorities are probing any possible links between the 2023 threats and Wednesday’s shooting at Apalachee High School.
“This is not recent. This is in the past, but we wanted to bring that to your attention because we are pursuing that, working with the FBI on this in any connection to that incident that could be connected to today’s incident as well,” Hosey told reporters in a Wednesday night press briefing.
Hosey also said that investigators have been made aware that Gray’s family had contact with children’s services in the area.

So, both the GBI and FBI knew about this nut and were watching him for at least a year. And yet this happened. Well, I guess we have to ask ourselves, do we set up an "Office of Pre-Crime" to prevent these kinds of things, or do we let a little thing like the Constitution get in the way of that. You can bet your life the Left is itching to do just that, oh not to prevent things like this from happening, but to lock up the politically disfavored (to them) that stand in the way of their attainment of absolute power. Since in their eyes, that is the greatest threat to the nation. Pfft.

This was a tragedy, and the decades long drumbeat of moral and societal dissolution that began with the sexual revolution, the concomitant feminist revolution, and cultural rot resulting in alienation, and familial and individual emotional breakdowns more than likely played a large part in driving the shooter to do this. Until we know all the facts, I'd bet that all the aforementioned were at the root cause of why this happened.

Naturally, the Left will blame guns, toxic masculinity, Trump, Christianity and every other straw man they can think of as a pretext to strip us of our right to keep and bear arms, for starters.

Now on top of that, we had this little revelation:

If some of the personnel during the Trump assassination appeared completely unready, there was a good reason for it.
They weren’t ready and this wasn’t their job.
Sen. Josh Hawley said he’s been informed by whistleblowers that most of the agents assigned to protect Donald Trump during the assassination attempt at his Butler, Pa., rally in July were Homeland Security personnel who had minimal protective training.
Instead of having dozens of Secret Service agents on his detail for the July 13 rally, Trump was mostly guarded by Homeland Security agents who only received online webinar training before the event, Hawley (R-Mo.) said in an interview on “Jesse Watters Primetime” Tuesday evening.
“A two-hour, online webinar. And I’m told that half the time, the sounds to the webinar didn’t even work,” Hawley claimed.
The Homeland Security agents were supposedly pulled off child exploitation cases and other investigations in order to serve on Trump’s protective detail — which was something they did not normally do, Hawley added.
I’m gonna speculate that Jill Biden (sorry, Dr. Jill Biden) wasn’t being guarded by child exploitation agents who got a two-hour webinar.
A former president and presidential candidate’s security actually takes precedence over a first lady. I can’t think of an assassination attempt aimed at a first lady with the possible exception of Hillary Clinton.
But more to the point, Secret Service leadership retasked unready DHS personnel, gave them a webinar and sent them off to protect one of the most targeted men in the world. . .

Incompetence and malice aforethought, that led to Trump avoiding having his brains blown out by a few millimeters.

So, in case 1, the potential shooter was known, in case 2 where you have competent people in place to prevent a potential shooter from being able to shoot because candidates are always likely targets as history has shown us over and over again. And yet, look what happened.

Now look at the priorities:

An Arizona mom is now suing the city of Surprise (yes, that's the city's real name) after she was arrested and forcibly removed from a city council meeting when she questioned a pay raise for a city official.
In a video that's now gone viral, Surprise Mayor Skip Hall ordered a police officer to handcuff and haul out Rebekah Massie during the public meeting on August 20 after she used her time at the microphone to criticize a proposed pay raise for City Attorney Robert Wingo. In the official video of the recorded meeting, Massie, whose 10-year-old daughter was in attendance and watching, can be heard demanding to know what crime she’d committed as the officer attempted to detain her, while Hall repeatedly told her she wasn’t allowed to use the time to lodge complaints against “specific” city employees.
Except the pay raise proposal for this guy was official government business, and Massie had every right to voice her concerns.
The shocking clip quickly spread on social media, prompting outrage from free speech advocates who demanded to know why an American citizen was being arrested and silenced for openly criticizing the proposed tax-funded salary of a government official.

Yeah, slap the cuffs on her and haul her off to the Arizona Lubyanka for the dangerous crime of criticizing a politician.

Lest we forget the hundreds of lives ruined and those still rotting in the Garland Archipelago merely for showing up to the Capitol on 1/6/21 to do exactly what this woman did, along with being entrapped in a Pelosi-engineered sting operation.

Oh the humanity. November is going to be interesting, for sure.

Have a good day.

How about the rarely-these-days mentioned third option, involuntary commitment, assessment, and treatment?

This is not hypothetical pre-crime. Actual threats are actionable.

The main constitutional bars are that they be intended to be taken as a threat and that the recipient reasonably believe the threat is credible.

It is retrospect to say that yes they meet those thresholds. But they arguably can then as well.

There are standard questions in voir dire to weed out the jury nullifiers. You have to answer dishonestly - conveniently, a crime - in order to survive that process.

It's an uncomfortable admission of about a free society that most are unwilling to come to grips with.

Things can and should be done to limit such cases to the absolute minimum, including armed protection, involuntary commitment of threat actors, etc.

But the unwillingness to undertake (indeed, the outright animosity towards) such basic actions leads one to another uncomfortable conclusion. The left wants and needs these children to be killed in order to press for their citizen disarmament agenda.

The left is evil, and people should embrace home school as an alternative in light of this recognition. Our home school community is armed, with at least one, openly armed (retired LE) and with several more concealed carriers, even openly discussing this fact.

The point, of course, is not to obtain a conviction in response to a crime but to provide the MSM the opportunity to flood the American people - who believe that they live in a democracy - with stories about how Russia, and only Russia, is nefariously interfering in the most secure elections known to man in favor of a man who held them in check for four years by (checks notes) running a few ads.

I don't think the statement was one of 2nd Amendment or lack of site security causes school shootings.

Rather, it was, in a free society, with free access to such weapons, inevitably some would seek to use them to cause harm, and it is not absolutely preventable without destroying that free society.

We agree on causes, I believe.

In that school, if a kid had showed up with a gun intent on murder who knows how many he would’ve killed in those crowded hallways. It didn’t happen…. With plenty of guns around and zero security.

It’s the culture. It’s gone to rot…. I went back to my old HS a few years ago. Same small community but the school is now locked up as tight as a drum…. You even have to get buzzed into the main entrance. Yeah heritage America left us awhile back

193 --TRUMP ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT AFTERMATH--

Today marks 45 days since Mayorkas announced he created an independent bipartisan team (of DeepState alumni) to conduct a 45 day review of Secret Service ops concerning the attempted assassination of Trump.

I expect to hear crickets or a delay excuse today from Mayorkas and Acting SS Chief Rowe about this review. The Bi-Partisan House Panel investigation is the only hope for the public to get a report that integrates FBI findings with details of the Secret Service's non-performance.

From the 7/21 DHS Press Release announcing the Independent Review:
"Following the events of July 13, 2024, President Joe Biden directed the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to conduct an independent security review of the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump. Today, Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas is naming a bipartisan panel with extensive law enforcement and security experience to conduct a 45-day independent review of the planning for and actions taken by the U.S. Secret Service and state and local authorities before, during, and after the rally, and the U.S. Secret Service governing policies and procedures."

205 It's an uncomfortable admission of about a free society that most are unwilling to come to grips with.

Our society categorically rejects the sacrifice of blood, sweat and tears made by our ancestors to come to the New World and create a place that is better than what we inherited.

There is no love for any of the traditions, no respect for the duties and gifts of freedom, and surely no gratitude at any level.

So it seems rather silly to demand the protections that come from diligent defense of the traditions, values and morals when few are willing to pay the price.

If society teaches a person a nihilistic world view that they are nothing more than evolved pond scum with no transcendent value, purpose or destiny, that they are entitled, by their mere existence to the fruits of others labors, then you get this expression of frustration and worthlessness.

278 "The more data one reviews, the more it seems very unlikely that a lone gunman could have pulled off what was almost a televised assassination."

I have looked at the audio data from the event, and it is pretty clear to me that (this time) there was only one gunman.

With that being said, I can see why others have theorized a second shooter. There were two salvos, and they sounded distinctly different. I have discovered that Crooks took his first 3 shots, and then repositioned himself, back a few feet. He obvious realized that he had announced himself to the world, and no longer had a chance to his his main target. So he retreated behind the roofline, and took 5 quick indiscriminate shots (Remember, this was a school shooter wannabe). The shots from behind the roofline SOUNDED different from the ones before, BECAUSE they were behind the roofline.

With that being said, it sure looks like he had SOME insider clearing the path for him - making sure there was nobody to challenge him as he got into position. And he wouldn't have even attempted what he did if he didn't KNOW the path would be cleared. Somebody doing that would expect to be caught along the way, and do hard time for it.

Yes, that is one aspect of the illusion, which is incompetents running them. Another is that there are so many ways to bypass such, that, in the main, all it does is get people to let down their guard, and avoid focusing on other things such as looking around them, noticing threats or people who need help, and acting upon such realizations.

After a length of volunteering in various capacities - where you experience the isolation of being the only one who steps forward to do something that needs doing - I have come to realize that people will use almost any rationalization to avoid doing what they otherwise know they SHOULD do, even on things such as caring for their own children.

Harris would be the most leftwing figure to ever hold the presidency. And on the heels of Biden who was arguably the most leftwing figure until now as well

America won't survive.

The worst case argument you can make for Trump is that he might fail to undo the worst of the Biden and Obama regimes but there is no case in which Harris does.

Two things.

One, her position seems right to me. She is complaining about a pay raise. That may well imply a targeted complaint about the individual, but she chose the topic well (coincidentally or not) and didn't complain about the attorney, but about the raise. Fair enough. She thought the raise was unfair and said so.

Second, why is this a rule? Sure, there is the risk of public meetings turning into bitch fests about specific employees without that rule, but this is also why comments are usually timed. You're the government. If the a citizen wants to bitch to - or about - you, that's his prerogative.

🚨Surge in Unsettling Body Discoveries Across New York City🚨

In recent months, there has been a noticeable increase in disturbing discoveries of human remains across New York City and nearby areas. Several months ago, a headless body was found on the shores of Howard Beach, followed by a grisly discovery in the Bronx, where a body was found severely mutilated. In addition, other body parts have been washing up on New York City’s shores, further alarming the public.

Today, yet another tragic discovery was made in Long Island, where a body was found dismembered inside a suitcase. While these incidents are deeply troubling, there is no evidence at this time suggesting they are connected to the same individual or group.

This surge in gruesome discoveries is highly unusual for New York City, where such crimes have historically been rare. The recent wave of violent acts represents a disturbing new trend, raising concerns among residents and law enforcement alike.

288 I just had an idea on how to combat TdA taking over apartments (and any other lowlifes too).

Create an AI filter that puts MAGA hats and American flag graphics on their shirts when you take a picture or video. That way when you send video evidence to the police and news it will get a response.

Can you imagine, dozens of men holding rifles while wearing MAGA hats? SWAT is on its way!

Now, they won't do a damn thing once they arrive and see who it actually is, but at least it draws attention.

339 Of course the FBI knew the kid would kill. That's the usual pattern. Threatening to shoot up your school is a felony in all 50 states. Why didn't they refer it to the locals to intervene and charge him? This is also the pattern. Sloped roof, my man. The roof was sloped, and the day was hot. Nothing you can do about it.

The only part that remains to be seen is whether they actually put the gun in his hand. That's often part of their pattern, too.

Pretty much this.

They had evidence the kid was threatening to shoot up a school. That's a violation of law. It SHOULD end right there, but no. They let him murder and maim.

Why is the FBI around again?

345 Every word they say about Trump is what they have been saying about conservative voters behind closed doors for decades.

They just throw vague, unsubstantiated smears.

"Trump is cancer". "Trump is Hitler". "Trump is the worst thing". "Trump is a dictator"

Without specifics, using vague euphemisms, its just a temper tantrum of a stupid, rotten, spoiled child. Every word, every smear, every accusation is a lie.

Something was said about the 2008 liquidity crisis (Denninger, I believe) likening the actions that precipitated it to a lowering of the water level, putting the low-floating targets aground first, free for the larger, more connected (higher floating) to pick up the desired pieces.

Same thought process occurs here, where at some level of diminished threat protection/prevention, you are going to allow in not-particularly skilled nuts to the party to take their shots.

I believe the lack of SS protection was intentionally done to create just such a situation. I don't think we've seen anything, however, to justify a conclusion that someone affirmatively, "officially" aided Crooks.

357 In recent months, there has been a noticeable increase in disturbing discoveries of human remains across New York City and nearby areas. Several months ago, a headless body was found on the shores of Howard Beach, followed by a grisly discovery in the Bronx, where a body was found severely mutilated. In addition, other body parts have been washing up on New York City’s shores, further alarming the public.

Today, yet another tragic discovery was made in Long Island, where a body was found dismembered inside a suitcase. While these incidents are deeply troubling, there is no evidence at this time suggesting they are connected to the same individual or group.

I'm unsure about exactly which victims were hit by which bullets, but I think the guy who was killed was in the second batch of shots. One of those three victims that are most talked about was hit twice, I've heard, so they couldn't have all been hit by the first three shots.

I've heard of a 4th victim, a woman, but her name was never reported. She was seen near the guy who was killed, and was said to have been hit on her hand. Maybe it was a fairly superficial wound, like Trump's, or maybe she just got blood on her hand somehow.

King DEFINITELY locked the book down so he wouldn't end up being synonymous with the school shooting phenomenon... but he's also went on to talk about how wrongheaded it was and how he feels that he's to blame for the idea because of the sympathetic portrayal of his shooter. I'm cynical... I think he's done so to push the agenda rather than out of the motives he's giving... but I have to admit that most liberals would have quietly wiped their fingerprints off and disappeared it without calling so much attention to themselves.

389 313 With that being said, I can see why others have theorized a second shooter. There were two salvos, and they sounded distinctly different. I have discovered that Crooks took his first 3 shots, and then repositioned himself, back a few feet. He obvious realized that he had announced himself to the world, and no longer had a chance to his his main target. So he retreated behind the roofline, and took 5 quick indiscriminate shots (Remember, this was a school shooter wannabe). The shots from behind the roofline SOUNDED different from the ones before, BECAUSE they were behind the roofline.

A shot by Crooks or someone, apparently hit a hydraulic line or the hydraulic cylinder of a crane past the stands to Trump's left, where two men were wounded by Crooks. The crane was holding-up a set of speakers. If the crane wasn't hit by a bullet the time of the failure is an incredible coincidence.

I've not read a word of his since. Partly because he's written exactly one thing that genuinely creeped me out (Apt Pupil), but also because the insights into his mind are creepier BY FAR than anything he's actually written. The only reason he's not on a watch list is that he's too famous to hide anything anyway. He still should be.

What the hell is that? It’s the fix. That’s what it is.

I also watched Trump’s interviews with Mark Levin and last night with Hannity. He never sticks to the questions or provides specifics on how he is going to address the issues. It’s become a walk down memory lane with Grandpa Trumpy. Every response to a specific question turns into a waffling story of “Abdul”, about how “she” is going to take away your fracking or some other diversion. What is your policy damnit? How are you going to fix things? Ugh.

Yes.
He's written some good "short" stories (some are ~100 pages), such as the one that the movie "The Shawshank Redemption" movie is based on. Read it many years ago, and IIRC, the movie is better than the short story. is writing is engaging - at least the early stuff - but read enough and you start to realize that the man is a bit disturbed or haunted.

429 I also watched Trump’s interviews with Mark Levin and last night with Hannity. He never sticks to the questions or provides specifics on how he is going to address the issues. It’s become a walk down memory lane with Grandpa Trumpy. Every response to a specific question turns into a waffling story of “Abdul”, about how “she” is going to take away your fracking or some other diversion.

I agree that King's shorts/novellas are his better product. In part, it's because you're not losing a huge amount of time for the stinkers. He has a lot of stinkers. His cool stuff is cool for sure, but the stinkers *really* stink and limiting the time investment is a good thing.

"Nightmares and Dreamscapes" is a good collection, and has one of my favorite short stories of his in it ("Dolan's Cadillac"). It also has some real crap. As usual with King.

It doesn't matter, because Colorado is a "sanctuary state."

When I lived in CO, my city was *not* a "sanctuary city" and it doesn't make a lick of difference because the *state* is. A city police department/policeman can arrest an illegal and call DHS, but the state will intervene. It adds friction and dumps sand in the gears even for cities that don't play these games.

It has the same net effect: corrosion. "If I arrest you and call ICE, the state is going to make things hard, refuse to cooperate, not sign extradition orders, the DA with his eyes set on higher office isn't going to take it seriously, etc. - so why bother?"

494 I ran a fishing lodge in CO straight out of college. I loved it then. It was a cowboy state then.

Colorado had two influxes of population that profoundly changed conditions.

The first was during the telecoms boom in the mid 90s, and it didn't kill CO because of three factors:
1. It was a wide net. Not everyone pouring in was from the same place
2. It was fairly brief because
3. The telecoms boot busted

The second was the killer. It was the post-dotcom influx. That one was markedly different because it was massive and largely single-sourced from Silicon Valley. SV firms looked at the Front Range's technical base (significant, in part because of the telecoms boom) and comparatively low cost of living combined with its desirability and basically "inshored" SV labor into CO. CO boomed, and tons of people came with it. The people who moved during that era weren't refugees fleeing a nightmare condition at home, they came because the jobs moved.

They colonized, and the post-dotcom buildup was enormous and the influx was huge, largely from the same origin point - and they brought their broken politics with them.

They mean to be as competent as they were with the pier, just on a bigger scale and more casualties. I could also say 'the US and what army?' at this stage.

Oh yes. There was deliberation, too, and direct action.

499 395 I'm still saying whoever was on the roof (yearick) never fired a shot.

Not with all the activity of the cops drawing attention of the countersnipers. There is no way someone pokes his head up over the roofline with all that commotion, much less gets multiple aimed and well measured shots off.
Posted by: Boron Cobbie at September 05, 2024 09:08 AM (WYW7/)

There were cops on the ground looking for Crooks (Yearick?), but they were not in contact with the Secret Service snipers. There were a lot of people around that building, noticing the cops surrounding the place - if there was somebody else there shooting, somebody would have noticed.

500 490 The two rooftop snipers - who were blocked by the trees - falling back because they were being shot at is the one that tells me there were multiple shooters.

I'm still going with a connection to Ukraine and their troops.

If you mean the Secret Service snipers on the barns behind Trump, only the north team was obscured by a tree. The south team was looking south, but turned around and took out the shooter after they heard him firing. The north team flinched when the shooting started; I wouldn't say either "fell back".

502 Good morning, all, and thanks, J.J. 🙏

Surprised Georgia released the name & other information regarding the 14 year old shooter who left two teachers & two other students dead and nine others injured. According to reports from GA, he'll be held & trialed as an adult.

Remember Parkland? Yes, of course. NPR, All Things Considered, March 1, 2018: Parkland Shooting Suspect: A Story of Red Flags, Ignored. A nineteen year old who left 17 people dead after his shooting rampage.

Eighteen year old Salvador Ramos who killed 21 in the Uvalde, Texas elementary school shooting? Reportedly, 'no criminal record or history of mental illness' but plenty of 'signs.' Fox 7, May 26, 2022, Who is Salvador Ramos? 'What we know about Texas elementary school shooting suspect'

2021, school shooter Ethan Crumbley, 15, of Michigan charged with four counts of first-degree murder, one count of terrorism causing death, seven counts of assault with intent to to murder and 12 counts of possession of a firearm in the commission of a felony. Again, plenty of 'signs.'

"Social influencer" David Hogg @davidhogg111 opined yesterday: Any parent whose kid shoots up a school with that parents unsecured firearm needs to go to prison for life.

So easy, David. What's become of standards & enforcement of 'discipline' w/i schools? Are there ever permanent suspensions, expulsations & reports to states for investigation & further action? What of 'mental health support' w/i public school systems we're paying a fortune for? (The many non-teaching jobs added onto all districts' payrolls.) Are those positions bearing any fruit or are they just well paid for statistics?

What of the 'kids' in the streets, wielding, manufacturing, selling weapons, 'responsible' for countless deaths & disabling injuries? Are their parents & guardians just too busy to act responsibly, 'report' on their kids.

No uniformity, unpredictable legal outcomes. The theme, plenty of signs, little responsibility, being seen & experienced all over our 'society."

Imo.

504 Newsweek, September 3, 2024, 'Who's Sean Higgins? Details Emerge About Driver Who Killed 'Johnny Hockey'

In part(s), "He told an officer he had five or six beers before the crash and he was drinking while driving, according to a criminal complaint. He allegedly failed the field sobriety test."

"Higgins is a field artillery officer assigned to the New Jersey Army National Guard, Joint Force Headquarters, a National Guard spokesperson told Newsweek."

"He serves as a part-time traditional Drill Status Guardsman, but he was not on duty at the time of the deadly crash."

"Higgins also worked for a network of rehabilitation facilities called Gaudenzia. The organization has locations in Washington, D.C., Maryland and Pennsylvania. Its mission is to support people with substance use disorders and mental health disorders, according to its website."

Higgins struck NHL star Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew Gaudreau with his car while intoxicated, killing both. "The brothers were in their native state of New Jersey for their sister's wedding, which was scheduled to take place on Friday."

505 I don't think the CO officials "watched" the newest school shooter at all in the year before the crime. They don't care. Too busy with politics.

And speaking of politics and crime, the Aurora PD was constrained in their policing bc they were under a consent decree with AG Weiser, a former Obama DOJ lawyer and leftist. So of course they were not allowed to be mean to the newcomers. Nice going Colorado, you're now California v.2!
