The Morning Report

The Morning Report — 12/16/24

Good morning kids. And so we now have "DRONE-GATE" as either the shiny new object to distract us, or is this something real and/or sinister? Even if, as some are saying it's people on the ground misidentifying ordinary fixed or rotary winged aircraft, what ought to anger and scare the shit out of us is that the regime still clinging to power until Donald Trump takes office, and the bureaucrats in the FAA, intelligence and LE agencies either have no idea what the hell is going on or know and are not forthcoming with answers. That to me is the real issue that must be addressed.

Assuming that this is no ordinary phenomenon and that there are drones flying all over our skies at night. Are these drones our own or are they being sent aloft by foreign agents and perhaps terrorist operatives. All things considered, both of those are not altogether out of the question. In just the pasts four years alone, the Obama-controlled Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants farcical puppet regime has erased our borders and sane immigration policies so that upwards of 11 million unvetted foreigners have crossed into the country, among the vast hordes of mere illiterate peasants not only murderers, rapists, human and narcotics traffickers and spetty criminals spreading out from coast to coast. But as has been confirmed potential terrorists from the Islamic world as well as a not insignificant number of military-aged males from Communist China.

More than 10,000 Special Interest Aliens were apprehended during the first two and one-half months of the new fiscal year. Special Interest Aliens come from countries with known ties to terrorism. Border Patrol Chief Jason Owens posted a report on social media showing the arrest of three Syrian migrants who were arrested entering the U.S. Virgin Islands on a boat on December 5. The chief said Border Patrol agents already apprehended more than 10,000 Special Interest Aliens in Fiscal Year 2025, which began on October 1.

I've had numerous links in this report over the past couple of years already about Chi-Com agents having been caught in and near sensitive military installations and research facilities. The fact that the Red Chinese have been allowed to purchase vast tracts of land abutting these facilities and farmland for them to grow alfalfa to be used ostensibly for their own cattle industry is insanity. I can guarantee you that our government or any private individual or enterprise owns as much as a grain of sand anywhere in their territory.

Aside from land, the Red Chinese own quite a few of our politicians, sadly on both sides of the aisle (Yay bipartisanship). Much of that institutional grift and graft is going to come to an end once Donald Trump is sworn in. Or at least the attempt will be made. The rot is ugly dark and deep, with all due respect to Robert Frost.

Seems like an appropriate set-up for this next item. Which although it emerged last week really comes as no surprise yet is nontheless rage-inducing and illustrative of what Donald Trump and all of us are still up against.

The Office of Inspector General (OIG) for the FBI issued a report last week that detailed at least 26 FBI Confidential Human Sources (CHSs) were present at the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
There are limitations imposed on the OIG in an investigation like this. If the office found 26, there were likely more. The OIG’s mandate is limited to interviewing current FBI employees only. If the FBI was working with Capitol police, and the Capitol police had a CHS, the OIG would not learn of or report on this because of lack of jurisdiction. The same with the CIA and other three-letter agencies. And, if agents were involved, all they had to do was retire or move to another agency to avoid investigation. The report does not detail the total number of agents that might have had information but fell out of purview.
If you look at the report, you will see in the methodology who was not interviewed. The OIG could not interview anyone that was not currently employed by the FBI. For example, the report details at least David Bowdich, Jeff Sallet, John Brown, Terry Wade, and Stephen Laycock all declined to be interviewed. A footnote reads: "One former FBI TFO declined our interview request." In another telling statement, the OIG acknowledges an inability to subpoena or compel testimony from former department employees and third-party witnesses.
In other words, the OIG only spoke to people who are with the FBI and who cooperated. The office did not speak to any third parties or former FBI employees. Nor did it speak to anyone outside the FBI that might have been working with the FBI at the time. In short, the OIG spoke to a limited number of cooperating FBI agents.

So despite the constant, deafening DRONE pun absolutely intended, over the past four years that Donald Trump led a violent riot/insurrection on 1/6/21 in an attempt to overthrow congress what we saw with our own eyes and long-suspected was that the FBI/DoJ in cahoots with Malig-Nancy Pelosi's Capitol PD staged an op to claim the aforementioned. Sadly, the only deaths were as a result of her malice aforethought in both refusing to allow Trump's request to call out the National Guard and inviting and actually escorting the peaceful protesters and rally goers into the building, resulting in the cold blooded murders of Ashli Babbitt and Roseanne Boyland.

So, we shall see if Trump can even begin to drain the swamp or if as I fear the Swamp will continue its decades-long drive to drain us of our liberty, wealth, sense of security and stability and our society.

Both the estimable Roger Kimball and Victor Davis Hanson take an upbeat tone:

Kimball:

The bottom line is that the country’s cultural confidence account has been lavishly replenished. There will, as is inevitable in this sublunary world, be disappointments ahead. But there will also be many, many successes as the aftermath of Trump’s victory solidifies first into a movement and then into a consensus. We are, as I put it early in November, “on the threshold of a political and social counter-revolution.”

VDH:

Never in U.S. history has a president-elect been welcomed as the real president before his January 20 inauguration. And never has the incumbent president so willingly surrendered his last two months in office and all but abdicated—to the relief of his nation and the rest of the world.
One reason so many are welcoming Trump’s return is the universally desperate hope that his election spelled an end to a collective madness at home and its ripples abroad during the last four years. And why not?

Well, we shall certainly see. All over the west, dissatisfaction and outright anger at what governments have been doing to the people have resulted in a wave of elections that have ousted the elitists. This has primarily though not necessarily been totally driven by the insane immigration policies of those countries that have turned or on the verge of transmogrifying western societies into Islamic republics.

The status quo disintegrated overnight — and the Syrian people breathed their first gulp of freedom in over 50 years.
How long it lasts will depend on their recently installed Islamist rulers.
The difference between Seoul and Damascus was telling. History is on the move in a specific direction. Events erupt with volcanic force from below.
The ruling elites, hierarchs and reactionaries desperately wield weakened institutions to retain their hold on society.
Sometimes, as in Romania, they gain an uneasy victory. More often, as elsewhere, they are battered and swept off by the tide.
We have broken out of a period of paralysis and are now venturing into the unknown. Nothing is given or predetermined. The flow of events, propelled by the collision between the present and the past, seemingly favors heightened democratic freedom but also a nihilistic barbarism
On Dec. 7, a reborn Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris opened its doors to the public once again after a devastating 2019 fire that nearly gutted that magnificent structure.
The mighty of the earth attended the opening ceremonies, with predictably bizarre interactions. Trump and Macron arm-wrestled for a long and awkward minute. Jill Biden appeared to make googly eyes at Trump.
Fortunately, none of that mattered. The resurrection of Notre-Dame is a triumph of the spirit. Here is an ancient monument ushered with loving care into our turbulent times. Here is a jewel of Gothic Christianity that still sparkles in the digital age.

Lest we forget that Islam is not alone in its quest to conquer and destroy the world. Even more evil arguably are those among us, the LEFT, who seek the same thing driven mostly by the madness of self-loathing, allied with venal traitors who seek to line their pockets as the world burns around them.

Anyway, a shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It's appreciated more than you can know. Have a great day.

Johnson again went off with left-wing talking points and refused to actually answer the question. . . The rest of the interview was equally useless as CNN’s Blackwell pressed Johnson on the point several times and asked the mayor if his city’s sanctuary ordinances prevent the police from informing ICE about the presence in the city’s jails of illegal aliens, or if he — as mayor — simply intends to enforce a personal policy of preventing that cooperation. But the mayor refused to directly answer the question and instead danced around the issue, repeatedly falling back on the canard that “the police are not immigration agents” when no one — including Homan — has ever said they are or should be.

In 2020, Bank of America posthumously flagged possibly suspicious payments involving billionaire Leon Black and Jeffrey Epstein, the pedophile financier who died awaiting trial for sex trafficking. The bank submitted two suspicious activity reports (SARs) to regulators. The timing of the filings has prompted congressional investigators to question the possibility of federal money laundering law violations by Bank of America.Authorities use such reports to alert them to possible crimes, including money laundering and terrorism financing. According to a congressional memorandum, these reports were filed in February 2020 and again eight months later—but the transactions, totaling $170 million, had occurred years prior.

The leadership of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) that controls Beijing and the Peoples Liberation Army (PLA) knows that the man who becomes president on Jan. 20, 2025 would react totally differently from Biden.

17 Yes, we're seeing plenty of turmoil in other governments and hopefully that turmoil will lead to less radical politicians. When you look at what's happening in the UK, Germany, Korea and France to name a few, you see attempted change, however that change is being fought tooth and nail. Would I like to see the emergence of Le Pen and Farage, yes. Right leaning governments in Germany and Korea, yes, although I have no clue what's happening in those two countries. And then there's Canada, oh Canada, New Zealand and Australia. Not sure what can be salvaged there or if their citizens even want to fight for their freedoms. Right now I'm more concerned with the US turning itself around.

94 29 It may happen, as the linked article says, but I doubt Israel will need to bomb Iranian nuclear sites. Instead I believe Israel is seeking regime change in Iran, a change that will have the Iranians themselves shutting down the nuke bomb effort.
Posted by: Huck Follywood at December 16, 2024 07:41 AM (HibCC)

I firmly believe that the Iranian regime will collapse internally within the year. All signs coming out indicate that the current leadership is in shock, denial, and confusion about what just happened in Syria. Iran spent the last 30 years setting up great encirclements of Israel (and the Saudis) through its proxy armies - that has now completely collapsed, and the leaders are all blaming each other.
Showing that level of weakness is usually the Kiss of Death for any dictatorial regime.

It's already pretty convoluted to get the necessary FAA certification to fly a drone over a certain weight... measured in ounces or grams. I think it's less than a pound, but I may be wrong.

Plus you must have a license from the FAA and your drone must be affixed with some sort of ID tracker. Plus insurance.

All of that is required now. And there's plenty of 'no fly' zones in existence... every airport, federal facility, sports arena, etc.

I do recall that our political betters wanted to prohibit DJI from selling their hobbyist drones (among their other, larger commercial/professional ones) here in the states. The software/app used to fly them is, IMO, spyware.

Where did this idea that the USPS was supposed to run at a profit or like a business especially since no other government agency is expected to operate that way?

The USPS is a government agency that runs a Ponzi scheme known as "Defined Benefit Pensions". There is no known example on earth of such a system as being profitable or even sustainable.

The USPS subsidizes rural routes and bulk mail. Both constituencies will scream bloody murder if they have to actually pay for the cost of the service or compromise on even greater deprecated service.

They want to outlaw the ability of us to stop them from overpowering us with their own drones, and due to the fact government and its contractors are completely incompetent, they want to make sure that no good technology emerges from the private sector - thus making sure that foreign entities will always be superior.

179 Curious why Trump chose Rubio for State, or why Rubio wanted it. It's a factotum role -- Trump will be his own Sec of State.
Posted by: Ordinary American at December 16, 2024 08:38 AM (UseAb)

Imagine you're Trump. You know that Rubio is kind of a squish and you'd like to try and get someone better in that Senate slot. Now imagine that you thing Rubio is also not bright enough to know that the position is, essentially, pointless.

Not saying that's the case, just saying imagine it.

Hey JJ, I just wanted to thank you and Ace and CBD et al for following Breitbart's advice to read the fcking comments to your own posts. Most right-wing sites don't and it displays a certain level of contempt for the readers they are trying to influence.

I know it's not easy and not always possible - I dove into a comment thread here once and when I finally came out of the rabbit hole, I had lost 4 hours of life - but I do appreciate the effort you guys make. I've been dealing with bs on another site (that I won't bring here) and it reminded me that you guys deserve props for doing it right. Thank you.

Yep.

The USPS is Amazon's Sunday and all-week rural deliveries now.

Bezos figured it out. Taxpayer funded delivery services with no liability, retirement, etc.

242 If these drones were part of sinister foreigners' plans to harm the US, the media would refuse to cover it, and the government would probably be funding them.

Whatever is going on here, it is being reported. So whether they're real drones, or imagined ones, or made up ones, the governmedia is exploiting this story for a reason.

I suspect the following: our military is watching as its Ukrainian puppet forces are inflicting serious damage to advanced conventional military assets. Then they look at the number of drones in America, and how much more technically advanced our people are than the Ukrainians, and its making them worry about their ability to mass murder us.

So, people at the Pentagon called people in Langley and Quantico, who called people in Manhattan, who were told to start softening up the public for drone control legislation.

269 "I don’t trust any public school to properly teach the Bible. Not sure why Texas is doing this…"

Not teaching the bible, although I can see the slippery slope. But it took me 4 pages of Google to find an accurate summary of what's proposed:

"...materials include lessons on biblical stories and discussions about how early American political figures were shaped by their religious beliefs. The materials contain references to several religions, though Judeo-Christian religious material appears most frequently."

I'm going to withhold judgment for now, but one reason the Cult of Woke swept through our institutions like a Crusade is because no one thought our values were worth defending. I blame the Atheists - I endured their anti-christian bigotry because I thought they would protect us from something like Wokedom. They had ONE job. Where the F were they? Trolling the Flat Earth Society? Their impotence brought this on themselves.

280 >>Leftard politics was still rife in TV in the 80's but it was a little more subversive because they figured the viewers weren't stupid. At some point they changed their mind.

My favorite sitcom fails will always be "30 Rock" and "Parks and Rec." SNL alum besties each create a show where the plucky, idealistic young feminist gal pursues a career applying her Lefty values to shake things up. In both shows, the cartoonishly conservative older, white men created as their biggest opposition/foil not only ended up becoming their dear friend/mentor/father figure, but the most popular characters on the shows. (Just like Ken is the favorite character in the feminist rant "Barbie" movie).

356 SMOD. I read that 100% mortgage deal and it's not the mortgage itself put the add ons. I'd say that putin and his minions are trying to raise cash by fleecing their citizens. Not sure how much private home ownership there is in Russia, I'm guessing not enough to right their financial ship.

I'm fine with this except our "good guys" seem to be doing the bulk of this work at night when the spooky psy-op aspect is most effective.

Not to mention not telling anyone anything and shut up and also you're imagining things and even if there were drones in the sky we don't have jurisdiction and anyway it's good that there's drones in the sky.

The best way I've seen it put: You can either pay attention to history or trust the government. You can't do both.

378 Russian banks started to increase mortgage loan interest rates to 100 percent 03:59
By Ben
December 13, 2024

There are cases in Russia when banks increase interest rates on mortgage products to 100%. This was announced by Deputy Finance Minister Ivan Chebeskov in a conversation with Izvestia.

News is being updated.

Posted by: andycanuck (hovnC) at December 16, 2024 09:33 AM (hovnC)

379 Belleville NJ Mayor Melham explained that drones should not be treated as simple hobbyist technology.

“On the way here, I was on the phone with my OEM team and we now have guidance coming from the state,” Melham said.

The mayor added, “And that guidance does say two different things. First of all, if there is a downed drone in our vicinity, we’re immediately to call the bomb squad of our county, and, second, our fire department has been instructed to make sure they wear HAZMAT suits.”

380 In a striking development in Russia’s housing loan market, banks have reportedly begun offering mortgage products with rates as high as 100%, Deputy Minister of Finance Ivan Chebeskov told Izvestia. This unprecedented move comes as lenders struggle to manage soaring borrowing costs driven by a steep key interest rate increase.

According to Chebeskov, financial institutions are using various tactics to discourage mortgage lending, including additional fees, inflated down payments, and issuing part of the loan under market rates far above state-supported programs.

“We are working with the Central Bank to eliminate these extreme practices,” Chebeskov stated, adding that such schemes violate the principles of fair lending. The Central Bank confirmed the rise of such tactics, noting that some banks exploit state-backed combo mortgage programs by applying exorbitant rates to the market-linked portion of the loan.

Posted by: andycanuck (hovnC) at December 16, 2024 09:33 AM (hovnC)

381 Economist Olga Gogaladze explained that borrowers resort to these programs when home prices surpass state-subsidized limits. With Moscow’s average apartment price at 20.3 million rubles (and Russia’s national average at 6.2 million rubles, many homebuyers must seek costly supplementary loans.

Analysts warn that unless market stability improves, Russia’s already paralyzed property market will soon enter freefall.

"Microsoft and OpenAI simply take the work product of reporters, journalists, editorial writers, editors and others who contribute to the work of local newspapers — all without any regard for the efforts, much less the legal rights, of those who create and publish the news on which local communities rely," the Times said in its lawsuit.

396 That 11M illegal aliens gets quoted a lot but it's a lot more than that as it doesn't take into account all those who snuck in undetected. Those cannot be estimated by definition.

399 "Because they have jobs as Engineers and Entrepreneurs."

Yeah I used to believe that - they just want to be left alone to pursue career and family. Parasites. They remind me of the parents who were too busy to volunteer as Scout Leaders and (as usual) outsourced it. Only to be shocked to discover child molestors had filled the void they created.

I'm sure it's really nice to be able to focus on living the American Dream but there is a war on out here and the enemy are Control Freaks. They will never leave us alone, any more than a wife-beater will let his wife divorce him. The math is simple - one side is willing to die and kill for their cause (mostly kill), the other is not. You don't need to be a student of history to know which side will prevail. Doesn't help when the Right appears to be nothing more than a set of selfish individuals that are only unified as a target of the Left. Maybe they deserve to lose.

Hell, I'm not without sin either. How many years has Ace stood in the gap, and still he has to pass the cup around to keep the lights on? While I focus on career and family? That's not right.

Can't help wondering if some of the noise about drones isn't related to the fact that the government is still on a Continuing Resolution for funding.

>AAMC dot org, Sep 27, 2024: President Signs Continuing Resolution to Fund Government Through Dec. 20

In part, "The CR extends fiscal year 2025 funding for all 12 annual spending bills, including the Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education bill, through Dec. 20. The House has passed five of 12 spending bills on party-line votes, while the Senate has advanced 11 of 12 spending bills out of committee with bipartisan support [refer to Washington Highlights, July 12 and Aug. 2]. The CR will allow the federal government to continue operating while Congress completes its work on the annual spending bills."

This bill also supports the Committee's oversight mechanisms while enhancing appropriate information sharing between agencies."
