The Morning Report — 9/24/24

Good Morning Kids. It certainly seems as if the powers that be are both preparing themselves for a potential Donald Trump victory come Novmber, while at the same time doing everything in their power to prevent it, as all the cool kids would say "By Any Means Necessary."

Even if it means touching off a nasty global war either with the Russians or in the eastern Mediterranean. No, not to help the Israelis but to actually bolster Iran's proxies, Hezbollah and Hamas who are on the verge of being obliterated by the Israelis. And that would spell disaster for the Kalorama-Kamala-Kabal insofar as putting Michigan and Minnesota in play for Trump.

Pressure has grown on Biden, who has often touted his foreign policy experience during his political career, to help orchestrate an end to the Israel-Hamas war that began almost a year ago and has embroiled the Middle East in a broader regional conflict. With the prospect of his legacy being stained by a failure to secure a ceasefire before his term ends in January, Biden is pressing those closest to him to find a solution as soon as possible, Politico reported on Monday, citing U.S. officials who spoke to the outlet on condition of anonymity, given that they weren’t authorized to publicly discuss the matter. . .
“Keep fucking trying,” Biden reportedly told his national security officials in a recent meeting in the Situation Room, according to one of the participants of the meeting who spoke to Politico.
A successful ceasefire deal could also notch a separate win for Biden — he believes it will improve Vice President Kamala Harris’ own shot at the presidency in the November election, according to three officials who spoke to Politico. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, CIA Director Bill Burns and White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan have all been tasked to make a ceasefire deal their top focus before Biden’s term comes to a close.

For those wholly unaware, that is the trolls and any other LIV lurkers around here, ceasefire means Israel surrender and commit national suicide. Not only for immediate political expediency but because this junta and the deeply embedded globalist/Anti-American abscess known as Foggy Bottom that has been rotting away at our vitals and vital interests for decades has been driving to replace Israel with the mad mullahs of Iran as the main power brokers in the middle east.

WIth that said, this is happening:

Additional U.S. troops are being rushed to the Middle East during a rise in fighting between Israel and Hezbollah terrorist forces in Lebanon that has elevated risks of a wider regional war, the Pentagon said Monday.
AP reports Pentagon press secretary Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder would provide no details on how many additional forces or what they would be tasked to do. Their precise geographical region of deployment has also not been disclosed.
The U.S. currently has about 40,000 troops in the region. Just last month U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered a guided missile submarine to the Middle East and told the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier strike group to sail more quickly to the area.

Given who and what is running our country, such as what remains of it, US troops are not being sent to aid the Israelis. Ostensibly it will be under some bullshit pretext to protect innocent civilian "Palestinians," pardon the redundant twin fictions. Despite the recent orgasm-inducing success of the IDF pager operation as well as its conventional strikes on the soldiers of Islam known as Hezbollah and Hamas, Sadly, Israel has a Deep State of its own as well as a considerable number of suicidal leftists in its midst as insane as our own here in the USA. And the Junta here has been doing its best to oust Netanyahu and have him replaced by a leadership that will agree to the so-called 1967 Auschwitz borders in creating a "Palestinian state" that in essence will finish the job that Hitler started. Literally Hitler. No not "literal-Hitler DonaldTrump."

But since conventional wisdom and the Leftist propaganda complex insist that Trump is that and much much worse, then of course all bets are off in making sure he never takes a seat behind the Resolute Desk.
Two failed assassination attempts (Divine providence or dumb luck?) and then this:

On Monday, the Department of Justice released a handwritten letter from Ryan Wesley Routh, the suspect in the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. The letter, written months before the attempt, was turned over to authorities by a witness who received it along with other items in a box several months prior. . .
. . . "This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump,” the letter began, "but I am so sorry I failed you. I tried my best and gave it all the gumption I could muster."
"It is up to you now to finish the job, and I will offer $150,000 to whomever can compete the job,” the letter continues. “Everyone across the globe from the younger to the oldest know that Trump is unfit to be anything, much less a U.S. president. U.S. presidents must at bare minimum embody the moral fabric that is America and be kind, caring and selfless and always stand for humanity."
It certainly is curious why the Biden-Harris junta released this letter publicly, when, more often than not, the manifestos of killers are kept under wraps as much as possible. For example the manifesto of the Covenant School shooter has yet to be fully released, despite the fact that there is significant public interest in the transgender shooter’s motives. So far, only small portions of her writings have managed to be released or leaked.

For those of a certain age who don't remember something called "The Buy Lines" or even the 1971 hit single by the Honey Cone "The Want Ads" surely you are aware of Craig's List and Facebook Marketplace. If the Democrats can organize protesters to magically materialize at SCOTUS Justices homes, Senate hearings or Republican conventions, surely a Routhi rebel with a gun can be had in order for the CIA and Deep State cabal to recruit to preserve our precious democracy! (vomit). Were they behind either or both attempts? Let's just say I would not be surprised.

More than 700 members of the Deep State — a mixture of high, medium, and low-ranking government officials and staffers — signed a letter endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris on Sunday, in a move reminiscent of the letter 51 former intelligence officials signed claiming the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation. In fact, some of the signatories of the new letter also signed the Hunter Biden laptop letter, such as former Obama CIA Director John Brennan and Air Force Gen. (Ret.) Michael Hayden.
Other signatories of the new letter include Trump-haters Alexander Vindman, the former Ukrainian-American National Security Council staffer and retired Army lieutenant colonel who sparked the second impeachment of former President Donald Trump, and Malcolm Nance, a frequent commentator on the far-left MSNBC and a retired U.S. Navy senior chief petty officer who became involved in questionable volunteer efforts in Ukraine.

Recall a link from a few days back showing a very large percentage of Dems thinking it would'e been better off for the country had either of the attempts on Trump's life succeeded. Now where could they have possibly got that sick twisted notion.

Left-wing presidential historian Douglas Brinkley claimed on Monday — following two assassination attempts on former President Donald Trump — that people needed to “wake up” because it would be a “doomsday scenario” if Trump were to win again in November.
Brinkley made the unfounded remarks on far-left MNSBC during an appearance on “Morning Joe” — a show that is so extreme with its hatred of Trump that it was pulled off air for a day after Trump was shot in Pennsylvania because the network was concerned that inappropriate comments would be made.
When asked by co-host Joe Scarborough what was at stake with 45 days left in the election, Brinkley responded, “American democracy, nothing less.”

Why the hell are they wasting time sending a carrier to Lebanon when they should be sailing it off the coast of Mar-A-Lago?!

Failing that, a nice nuclear exchange with Putin will do the job. After all Trump is Putin's puppet, or so Hillary Clinton and all the spooks listed above who created that fiction with the Russia collusion hoax pimped.

So Zelensky and Shapiro are signing artillery shells at a munitions plant in Pennsylvania. Suddenly I remember a Bugs Bunny cartoon where his job was to hit the shells with a mallet to see if they're good, and if not he scrawls the word "DUD" on it. Go for it boys!

Sheesh.

Just briefly, I know Mis Hum published an update on my health situation a few weeks back on his Saturday morning coffee and prayer thread but for those who missed it, my last MRI was negative, which means essentially for now I am cancer-free, and have just started a 6-month course of chemo maintenance with regular MRIs to monitor for any recurrence, presumably for the rest of my life. All things considered, my doctors are very upbeat that that could be longer than the standard prognosis. Again, I cannot thank everyone enough for their prayers and messages of support.

Have a good day.

ABOVE THE FOLD, BREAKING, NOTEWORTHY

The board notes that “Mr. Trump may well win this election fair and square” but stresses that “Democrats returned 18 million ballots by mail compared with about 10 million from Republicans across 20 states with party registration data” in 2020 and that “it will probably still take longer to tally the high volume of ballots in [Democrat-voting] urban centers such as Philadelphia and Milwaukee than the lower number in redder, rural areas.”However, The Washington Post concedes that the Democrats’ mail-in voting advantage narrowed in 2022, with the left-liberal party casting 7.6 million mail-in ballots compared to 5.1 million for the Republicans.

Six members of the United Nation of Islam have been convicted of conspiracy to commit forced labor. This verdict follows a 26-day trial at the federal district court in Kansas City, Kansas. The convicts include wives of late cult founder Royall Jenkins, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ).The cult, renamed the Value Creators in 2015, subjected children as young as eight to starvation, physical abuse, and forced 16-hour work days. Prosecutors provided accounts of extreme punishment, including one child being dangled over a railroad track for stealing food and another child resorting to drinking toilet water due to severe thirst.

The numbers come from more than 250 homeless-service organizations covering cities, metro areas and vast rural areas. They are meant to reflect homelessness as it existed on a single night early this year. The Journal’s count includes about 550,000 homeless people so far, up about 10% from what these places reported last year. The trend thus far means the U.S. is likely to top the roughly 653,000 homeless people estimated in 2023—the highest number since the government started reporting comparable data in 2007.

I've noticed this with the elections and COVID. The government very clearly and obviously created COVID in the lab, and rigged the elections. Yet, because of reflexive meekness and politeness, everyone asks "did the government rig it? Did they create COVID? I wouldn't be surprised..."

Yeah, they did it. They did all of it. They also tried to murder Trump, and carried out a palace coup to install their next figurehead puppet.

89 It might be that women turn conservative after marriage. Huge difference in polling between married and unmarried women. Maybe it's a chance you don't want to take, but life is full of risk.

I keep reading that here. Of course, I used to read here that a liberal was just a conservative not yet mugged.

In real life ? Not seen it yet. Or the myth that women universally hit this mythical turbo sex drive in their 40s. Or the myth that cops are mostly right-leaning. And on and on.

Liberal women that do marry ? They mostly stay liberal. Its another instance of correlation not equaling causation.

He can't. He can't for a number of reasons. There are some practical matters - the US support of Iran, for example - but the core issue is philosophical. Biden, like the entire US foreign policy establishment going back generations now, is constitutionally incapable of negotiating anything with regard to Israel. It and he are incapable of doing so because "the only mode of success in the Middle East is a comprehensive all-parties omnibus peace accord" is the cornerstone. It's axiomatic among the foreign policy establishment.

168 Janet Jackson Disavows Unauthorized ‘Apology’ for Saying Kamala Harris Is ‘Not Black’

--

I have no idea where she stands politically or who she supports in this election, but I have to tick her up just a little bit higher in my book just for having the courage to disavow these sappy, pathetic apologies that are all the rage when someone says something others don't like. If she's sticking to her guns on her comment and not begging for forgiveness with her tail between her legs, I have to give her credit regardless of where she lies politically.

I'm with ya. I do my best to ignore the world the regime has created, and not be a part of the flaming pile of wreckage that used to be the American experiment.

But the normal human reaction to a total lack of incentives is to quit trying.

I also had the benefit of growing up before the final degringolade, when there still was some hope we could turn things around. 20-somethings today have known *nothing* except for corruption, looting and scavenging from their leaders, who gorge themselves on the seed grain while laughing in their faces.

I'm not saying they should give up. I'm saying I can't blame them for doing so.

She considers herself extremely informed. And she couldn't tell you one thing about why he's a "traitor" other than to barf up the talking points she's heard on the nightly news casts she refuses to miss.

204 But if I'm right, this path of marrying young would be a benefit for most of the guys.

Divorce courts would need to be fixed. Way too many stories of the wife deciding, after a few years, that she wants her wild phase after all, divorces the guy, takes him to the cleaners, and then discovers that very few guys want a single mom for more than casual sex so everyone's life is worse.

No, they targeted anti-vaxxers for having their accounts suspended, products removed from sale and streaming.

That always struck me a weird - of all the conspiracy theories out there, questioning the need/safety of some/all childhood vaccines was somehow the top of their list.

Shanahan was not allowed to publicly question without having her social media suspended, and given her insider status in Silicon Valley, possibly shunned from her IRL social circles and lost business opportunities.

That is the key point. The incentive structure is fundamentally broken because it has been destroyed, in all the ways that matter.

Want a man to work hard and produce more than he consumes? You *must* have incentives. The single best incentive is having a family. Less of that than ever, and getting worse. No chance for many. No chance, no production.

Another great incentive is honor - gain respect for doing the right thing. There's no respect and no honor to be found. The right thing has also been socially disincentivized.

Material progress is also an incentive - although I think it's a comparatively weak one, as compared to family and honor - but there's increasingly less of that, too.

Even the incentive of last resort (because it is the most abstract, least visible and longest-term) of "do the right thing and get into heaven" doesn't apply very much because religion is now the butt of the joke.

Incentives are gone. When incentives are gone, subsistence reigns supreme.

241 South Portland Mayor Misha Pride tells seniors to take out a reverse mortgage to afford the city's sharp increase in property taxes.

One of the blue towns near me put a massive tax increase on the ballot. They had taken the temporary COVID money the state had given them and used it to hire a bunch of school administrators and bureaucrats and when that money was "surprisingly" withdrawn had a big budget hole.

A number of people pointed out they literally could not afford the proposed increase in property taxes. The response to that from the caring left? Leave.

Umlauts, French diacritics and various other foreign-language marks tend to be lower volume products with fairly high inventory costs due to the smaller market. We are unable to offer discounts on low-volume marks due to inventory costs and limited manufacturing capacity. It is not a qualitative judgement on the value of those languages or those who speak them, it's just dollars and cents.

Which is why dollar signs are cheap and cent marks are comparatively expensive. Same basic problem, ironic though it may be.

267 "Our betters never, ever refer to the "Black Non College" cohort, do they? "

I studied Turnout in 2016 using an online thing I found that had White College, White Non-College, Black, Hispanic and Asian. These are large voting cohorts and not everyone in one cohort votes the same as others in the cohort but they do have high statistical correlation. e.g., All Blacks have high affinity for the D party. Splitting Whites by College / Non-College makes sense as they have different voting and turnout patterns. Recently White College has moved Left. But White Non-college has increased its turnout and they outnumber White College by 3 to 1.

With this online tool you could toggle by cohort, vote and turnout. And by state! So you could wargame the EC.

With a modest 5% boost in White Non-college turnout you could see Trump getting just over 300 EVs in 2016.

So in March 2016 I posted here to predict Trump winning. Ace banned me for effrontery.

269 General Jack Keane was just on Maria's show. He and the Institute for the Study of War ( read neocons, Kagans, Nuland etc) are pushing Joey to let the Ukraine fire long range missiles into Russia. If this has been done early in the war it might have forced Russia to the peace table.

Lest we forget, early on Russia was at the peace table. In fact, Russia had an agreement with Ukraine. Then Boris Johnson was sent in to kill that agreement. Since then, Russia has consistently, repeatedly, stated that it is willing to negotiate with Ukraine. Ukraine is unwilling.

Giving Ukraine MORE NATO weapons to strike deeper into Russia in a conflict it cannot win is absolutely NOT a recipe for peace.

He was slow to learn, but they didn't know how slow until the daughter was born a couple years later and she passed him in all areas pretty quickly. They started getting him tested and one of the things they found was the boy had incredibly excessive amounts of mercury in his system. They started doing research on everything the child had been exposed to and were shocked to learn how much mercury was in the childhood mandatory vaccines.

We had our daughter and went in for the vaccines and requested the mercury free medicines and you'd have thought I just kicked the Dr.'s dog. "HUMPH!!!!!! There's NO CORROLATION between the vaccines and mercury poisoning......."

We are vaccinating babies for illnesses that aren't even an issue for babies. In a sane world, we would review that list and do a minimum, maybe back to 5, like it used to be.

The problem is Genetic Entropy. Over the course of a human lifespan each person accumulates over a hundred Single Nucleotide Variants (SNVs) So from the span of late teens to late thirties and forties, a person might pick up 20-30 more SNVs which are passed to the offspring. It is Science that each generation is genetically inferior to its ancestors - despite what the Darwinians claim.

There is an upper limit to how long any species can last on the earth before there are so many mutations that the species can no longer multiply.

Of course, in the final analysis, the city also just made it too hard in every way to get the stadium built. Permitting sucked especially, or so the team said.

316 Want a man to work hard and produce more than he consumes? You *must* have incentives. The single best incentive is having a family. Less of that than ever, and getting worse. No chance for many. No chance, no production.

Even the incentive of last resort (because it is the most abstract, least visible and longest-term) of "do the right thing and get into heaven" doesn't apply very much because religion is now the butt of the joke.

Incentives are gone. When incentives are gone, subsistence reigns supreme.

354 NBC News: First Muslim mayor of Michigan city endorses Trump for president. Sunday, the mayor of Hamtramck, Amer Ghalib, announced his support for former President Donald Trump.

"President Trump and I may not agree on everything, but I know he is a man of principles. Though it’s looking good, he may or may not win the election and be the 47th president of the United States, but I believe he is the right choice for this critical time. I’ll not regret my decision no matter what the outcome would be, and I’m ready to face the consequences," Ghalib said.

Nothing worse... Like a Muslim ban. Or telling Israel to nuke the Palestinians. And NO ONE with an IQ above 30 thinks Dotard is a "man of principles...."

Says the idiot who doesn't realize he will be swept up himself and deported. The number of people who think trump will be a benevolent dictator is staggering.

Whatever he promised, it's all lies. We all know his promises are lies. As if Trump is going to bring peace to the Middle East.

He's a homophobe. That's the reason. He supported a policy that banned LGBTQ and other flags from city property.

391 While there are certainly real cases of autism I think a lot of people that are fully functional and a couple decades ago would just be considered a bit odd are now getting a "cool kid diagnosis"
Posted by: 18-1

Yep. Because there's money for schools for kids with autism. There is no money for kids with a texture aversion to foods. Call it autism, though, and KA-CHING

When you meet an actual autistic person it's jarring and disconcerting. People who have no idea that their social behavior is incorrect and who will likely never be able to live alone because of the way their brains work.

I'm still on the fence on whether it's helped the actual autistic people or done more damage to their needs. I'm leaning towards the latter.

I'm also trying to remember the people that society used to call retarded and if they were what we now call autistic, but they were few and far between (just like actual autistic people) and my memories are cloudy.

Not at all. There are outliers of course, but that man will have expectations without authority, and depending on the ex and the woman he can walk back in whenever he wants to "make it work."

Genetically there is very little (I would say no, but there could be *some* somewhere) incentive for a man who is interested in having a family to chose a woman who already has one.

Previously, he was a little embarrassing while giving speeches, but generally could read the teleprompter and be sheparded by handlers to avoid being TOO much of a buffoon.

Now, though, he's RAPIDLY declining, and anything is possible. As far as actual message, it'll be typical speech decaying escalating wa in Ukraine and Israel, need for a peaceful, just resolution in both conflicts, etc. Lots of words, nothing of substance...especially because no one respects/fears Biden anyway.

One of the topics we were learning about was IQ. Naturally, we all took an IQ test during one of the

Then she started laughing like a psychopath. I thought there was no way this bitch graduates. She must have learned about the range that night, because the next day she comes up to the students she mentioned her score to and started venting about how she was distracted and didn't have her coffee and this and that.

My brother in law coined the phrase "gaslamp" to gaslight people about gaslighting. "You mean that movie, Gaslamp, with Ingrid Bergman?" "Oh it wasn't Gaslight. It was always Gaslamp."

Hilarious.

If the longshoremen strike, one October surprise will be no bananas in a whole lot of US grocery stores.

Maybe Kamala will personally get involved in the union/corporation negotiations and drive them to a fast agreement! Coconuts AND bananas for everyone! She'll win in a landslide.

And maybe I'll be selected to be an astronaut today. The two events have the same likelihood.

456 >>It's amazing how no stories, ever, came out about Owebama's school years at any level.

Not true! There was a story from one of his law school classmates - the chick who was in The Runaways - and she said Obama was known for droning on and on in class. They created a measure of uselessly long answers called the Obamameter.

458 You really have to marvel at how effective the brainwashing it. They never stray off path.

And the mayor who endorsed Trump being declared too dumb to know what he's doing is the cherry on top. Not-so-deep down they see the various demographics as their dumb pets, and react accordingly when they disobey the Democrat party. I mean, don't they know how Islamaphobic they sound saying that ?

Left-wing presidential historian Douglas Brinkley claimed on Monday — following two assassination attempts on former President Donald Trump — that people needed to “wake up” because it would be a “doomsday scenario” if Trump were to win again in November.

*makes wanking motion with fist*

Per the Donk commie cocksuckers, EVERY post-WWII Republican presidential candidate is a "doomsday scenario".

The Donkey Show needs some new material.

461 The increasingly unpopular left-wing Labour Party government in Britain is reportedly looking to limit how long pubs can stay open at night to supposedly confront alcohol-related costs to the country’s socialised healthcare system.

Pubs are apparently in the crosshairs for Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s government, with Public Health Minister Andrew Gwynne is said to have told ministers that Downing Street is considering plans that would see a “tightening up the hours of operation” of bars and pubs.

464 Good morning, all, and thank you, J.J.

Reportedly, about 100,000 Israelis are displaced from where they've lost loved ones, and their homes, farms, schools, businesses in the north also because of the horrors of 10/7. Let's not forget "Israel's 9/11," and for it, there's no turning back. It intends to return those people who've also suffered unimaginably to those lands.

The IDF is legend and so the continued 'concern' over exploding equipment, affecting areas deep with terrorists, is not limited to the injuries of last week, but that the Israelis are so sophisticated they had months to gather data from the equipment as to the movement and positioning of its enemies.

Now we see what appears to be Blinken as the glue trying to hold everything together for at least 41 days, the next presidential election, i.e. -

CNN, 'Blinken urges House Foreign Affairs chair to withdraw subpoena and defends 2021 Afghanistan'
withdrawal'; ProPublica, 'Israel deliberately blocked Humanitarian Aid to Gaza, two government bodies concluded. Antony Blinken Rejected Them.' US Embassy China, "Secretary J. Blinken at the Freedom Online Coalition Ministerial Event on Al for Humanity: Charting

465 the Global Course for Human Rights-Based Governance"; NK News, US-ROK-Japan ties will be 'vital' no matter who wins upcoming election..."; C-SPAN, "Secretary Blinken Hosts G7 Ministerial Meeting on Ukraine's Energy..."; Barron's, 'Putin 'Weaponizing Winter' in Ukraine War, says Blinkin.' (Note: The last now a custom, as is the spring mud warning & Russia, imo.)

40K US troops currently in the Middle East, now more being sent.

In the meantime, 'our president', received the "2024 Clinton Global Citizens award" from former president, Bill Clinton. (Still that unity, as in NATO, as in the Balkans.)

c'est la vie?

42 days
