The Morning Report

The Morning Report — 10/1/24

Good Morning Kids. WELCOME TO OCTOBER, the traditional time when as a kid I looked forward to watching post-season baseball and then the Fall Classic. Ironically, a fixture of those halcyon days of the late 60s and early 70s of my youth, Pete Rose, "Charlie Hustle" passed away at 83 yesterday. just on the cusp of the playoffs. Regardless of the cloud of scandal that still envelopes him, he remains a reminder, at least for me, of happier times. In what is almost a completely unrecognizable country to what it was during his heyday.

With that preamble, there are several major things going on both here and abroad that top the headlines. Israel evidently has indeed launched its ground assault into southern Lebanon with the aim of grinding as much of Hezbollah as it can into the ground. Good luck, good hunting and Godspeed IDF.

they'll not only get no help from the junta that controls the USA, but as Ace reported yesterday evening, those in power reportedly leaked some of the details of the IDF's planned actions ahead of time to the terrorists. The continued degradation of Hezbollah and Hamas, which are in point of fact proxy armies of Iran led me to speculate on the possibility of ultimately a toppling of the mullahocracy in Tehran, as well as putting a serious dent in its continued quest for atomic weapons.

[Jared Kushner]: "Anyone who has been calling for a ceasefire in the North is wrong. There is no going back for Israel. They cannot afford now to not finish the job and completely dismantle the arsenal that has been aimed at them. They will never get another chance."
One way to read that is Kushner wants Israel to finish off Hezbollah. The other is that Kushner is strongly hinting that Israel needs to dismantle Iran's nuclear program, too.
A Wall Street Journal story Sunday quoted Johns Hopkins professor and former State Department advisor Vali Nasr saying, "Iran is not ready [for war with Israel] right now because it’s not the right time. But there will be a right time."
When your enemy is not yet ready for war but you are, is there ever a better time to strike?
You can be sure that's a debate that started (or perhaps re-started) in Jerusalem probably no later than Oct. 8. Hamas is holed up in northern Gaza. Hezbollah is leaderless, and Israel is systematically destroying their caches of weapons and rockets. The U.S. is effectively without a president, creating a world leadership vacuum that Jerusalem has a limited time to exploit.
I'm deadly serious on that last point — who's in charge here anyway?

My gut tells me if the Iranian government is indeed on the verge of or perhaps possibly in danger of being seriously destabilized to the point of collapse, what might the Deep State traitors and scum in Foggy Bottom and Kalorama do to protect them?

Closer to home, In the wake of Hurricane Helene with a death toll of at least 130 so far, and reports of bodies in the trees, what is of utmost importance to our government instead of mitigating suffering and further death?

DEI, of course!

Remember Ford’s line about quality being job 1? At FEMA, Equity is job 1.
After equity comes ‘climate resilience’ and only in third place is to ‘Promote and Sustain a Ready FEMA and Prepared Nation’ which can mean (if you’re generous and naive) doing its actual job.
But first comes FEMA’s primary mission to ‘Instill Equity as a Foundation of Emergency Management’.
And that’s why the disaster in North Carolina is playing out the way that it is. I’ll have more on that in my article ‘FEMA’s DEI Crippled Hurricane Helene Response’.

Of course the rural south, being a traditional bastion of conservatives and christians, Well so what if a few hundred or even thousand whites drown or are dislocated. The junta no doubt has planeloads of Haitians, Guatemalans and even so-called "Palestinians" to take their place. After all, there is no opposite equivalent to Ray Nagin's infamous "Chocolate City" declaration about New Orleans, when his graft and incompetence helped destroy it, all the while blaming George W. Bush for attempting to ethnically cleanse the city of its blacks!

Of course, Joey Sponge-Brain Shits_Pants has declared that we have no money nor resources to help with the relief. Well, with billions shipped off to Ukraine, and that Gaza pier, well, the cupboard is indeed bare!

Speaking of piers, there is indeed now a nationwide dockworkers strike.

Have a good day, and prayers for all who are affected by Helene.

ABOVE THE FOLD, BREAKING, NOTEWORTHY

If drawn out, the strike will force businesses to pay shippers for delays and cause some goods to arrive late for peak holiday shopping season — potentially impacting delivery of anything from toys or artificial Christmas trees to cars, coffee and fruit.

From what people in the area are saying, there was a major rain event days before the hurricane came through, so the ground was already saturated. So high winds and heavy rainfall created massive flooding and mudslides. Roads and bridges are gone in many places. A massive rebuilding taking months and possibly years is required.

I can think of plenty of domestic targets of tax dollars which should be put on hold until things are repaired. We have, after all, authorized trillions of dollars in "infrastructure" spending over the past 20 years with precious fuck-all to show for it.

Ukraine, on the other hand, should just be cut off.

In the past month the US Navy has decommissioned three Ticonderoga class AEGIS cruisers - USS Cowpens, USS Leyte Gulf, and USS Antietam.

One article I read trying to gloss over this serious shortfall in major surface combatants tried to peddle the Zumwalt class DDG and Constellation class as replacements.

Problem one - there were only THREE of the Zumwalt class built because they are such expensive white elephants.
Problem Two - the Constellation class frigates are already THREE years behind schedule.

he first claimed he didn't bet for or against the team he was managing, which was false, so, he changed his story, which, again, turned out to be false.

Pete Rose should be remembered for his accomplishments on the field, sadly, what he did off the field clouded his contributions to baseball.

I was curious to learn more given my current situation. There were no details in the article. It said the tumor was discovered in 2022 and he was undergoing treatment, but nothing about surgery to remove the tumor so I assume that it was in a place that made it inoperable, lest the surgery do serious damage to brain function.

122 Thank you for this column JJ. We pray for you too. I always look forward to the Real Science & Technology bit and I love your use of the 'Real'.
I am appalled by the amount of 'criminal' Science being hoisted on us by unscrupulous individuals particularly in the Life Sciences. Plagiarism is bad enough but doctoring results or even making them up is very serious. Considering the amount of money involved (millions and billions) I propose that such manipulators be charged with criminal embezzlement. When doctoring a few 'central papers' leads almost a whole generation of researchers down the garden path, all those misspent funds, labor, intelligence and possibly even death or otherwise harm to patients needs punishing severely.

I have to admit I've never been a Pete Rose admirer. In 24 seasons he got two (2) batting titles. He hung on way too long, a drag on his teams, until he accumulated enough hits to pass Cobb. His signature "Charlie Hustle" head-first slide and sprinting to first base on a walk were empty show.

A Teacher and a Terrorist:
Hamas Lebanon declared today that its leader in Lebanon, Fath Essharif, was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Tyre.

Fath Essharif was a principal and head of the @UNRWA teachers' association in Lebanon.

UNRWA, which was informed about his terror activities, put him on so-called "administrative leave" but refused to fire him.

It’s not an issue of a few rotten apples, as @UNLazzarini tries to describe. It’s a deeply rooted problem.

Visegrád 24 @visegrad24
Just a reminder that Fathi al-Sharif, the head of the UNRWA teachers union in Lebanon who was killed in an Israeli airstrike yesterday, was also the head of Hamas in Lebanon.
Why are terrorists employed by the UN @antonioguterres?

Israel War Room @IsraelWarRoom
@UNRWA chief @UNLazzarini claims he didn't know Fathi Sharif was a "commander" in Hamas's Lebanon branch.

What exactly did he think "holds a top leadership position in Hamas" meant?

173 key quotes from the order in which Judge Robert McBurney struck down Georgia’s extremely restrictive abortion ban: "Women are not some piece of collectively owned community property the disposition of which is decided by majority vote...

…..the liberty of privacy means that they alone should choose whether they serve as human incubators for the five months leading up to viability. It is not for a legislator, a judge, or a Commander from The Handmaid’s Tale to tell these women what to do with their bodies...

Finally, a judge laying it all out. What a hero. It’s sad that people who recognize basic human rights could be considered hero’s in the 21st fucking century.

McBurney is also the presiding judge in the Fulton County case against Trump. Now come the death threats. The judge really has a way with words.

Finally! A jurist who understands autonomy and the right to privacy! It concerned me right wing judges were nonchalantly turning living breathing female folks into chattel simply because of our reproductive organs and no-one responded that hey, women are not property!

has be swept aside in order to obtain significant victory and peace and safety for their citizens.

The US still remains handcuffed to this suicidal, but very very polite fiction since...well, fuck...those long ago and far away times when I was a teenager and thought this policy of politely stupid ineffectiveness by the US became obvious to me.

The left has always looked favorably on communism. So even ones that think it can't work will call those trying to implement it idealists as opposed to blood thirsty tyrants.

One major failure we made as a country was not fulling rooting out communism and its supporters here in the US after the Soviets collapsed.

214 Worth noting that the media was still forecasting (wishcasting?) Helene to track directly to Atlanta even when radar projections were showing it moving much further east.

This was going on even before it made landfall and wasn’t really until Friday morning that they had to accept the fact that Atlanta wasn’t going to take a direct hit.

If you have a Facebook there’s a group on there called Imby Weather that had a much more accurate track forecast and the data to back it up.

Used to be. Primarily because it was, that's the operative word; was... where most of the welfare went back in the day. It's still poor and under served in a lot of areas. Drugs and crime are every bit as a problem as they are in the ghettos. Trump spoke to them. Let them know they were not forgotten.

But the ghettos get the lion's share of welfare now. And the recipients of that money, blacks, are being pushed out of the free shit line so the illegals can reap the benefits now.

I've been pleasantly surprised with Vance's performance thus far. He's done dozens of interviews and routinely takes hostile media questions and he handles them very calmly and professionally. Not Pence holier than thou crap but he smoothly pushes back on all the leftist gotcha crap. Impressive so far.

Walz' weird hand waving and dancing around like an even gayer Richard Simmons is just plain odd. And his record as governor is a train wreck. It doesn't help that it is now breaking that he has secret ties with the CCP.

The VP debate doesn't usually matter much and the country is focused on the big issues of inflation, crime, illegals, war, the hurricane response, etc.. The media can say what the media always says but I don't think many minds will be changed tonight. Vance will look smart and calm and if you are already voting for Harris/Walz you're clearly a fucking idiot and nothing is going to change your mind.

In Biden's opening statement in the debate with Ryan he stated that the Executive branch is laid out in Article 1 of the Constitution because it is the most important. He even had a prop, a little pocket Constitution that "always carried" with him.

Problem is Article 1 lays out the Legislative branch, the Executive is laid out in Article 2. Ryan never said a word. I knew at that moment, we had a problem.

I have it on DVD, so only made it through the first 2 hours. I like it, but it's a movie that is very hard to watch for two reasons - it was horribly slashed from its original 9 hours and it presumes a familiarity with the novel that it is based on. If you've never seen a silent before, don't start with Greed!

That being said, I find Gibson Gowland's McTeague to be fairly one-note and sadly 'typical' of what people think silent acting was. I do enjoy the way ZaSu Pitts portrays Trina's gradually growing greed and descent into madness.

And of course, the ending is one of the greatest movie closes of all time.

(In part) Wash, D.C. - President Joe Biden offered a 100th birthday greeting to former President Jimmy Carter, celebrating a predecessor he said he admires “so darn much.”

Calling the former president a “moral force for our nation and the world,” Biden heralded Carter as “a voice of courage, conviction, compassion, and most of all, a beloved friend” in a direct-to-camera birthday greeting shared with CBS News.

In part, "The work stoppage, the first for the East Coast ports since 1977, is expected to affect more than 50% of U.S. imports. As companies make contingency plans, many shipments will be diverted to West Coast ports, straining the capacity there and likely creating severe backlogs.

A prolonged strike at the ports could lead to major supply-chain disruptions right before the holiday season. J.P. Morgan analysts estimate it would cost the U.S. economy between $3.8 billion and $4.5 billion a day and therefore don’t expect the strike to last longer than a week."
