The Morning Report — 8/ 6 /26

Good morning kids. With all the insanity going on here and abroad these days, hell every day, let's start off with some good news and considering who's involved rather surprising. Good for Justice Sotomayor.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor denied an appeal from the Palestinian Liberation Organization and the Palestinian Authority to halt a $656 million judgment.
The ruling means the victims and their families are now one step closer to being paid damages, following years of legal battles over terrorism attacks.
“The lawsuit was filed by victims of attacks in Jerusalem in the early 2000s that killed 33 people and wounded hundreds more,” the Associated Press reported. “Families brought their lawsuit under the Anti-Terrorism Act, a law aimed at opening U.S. courts to victims of international terror attacks.”
A significant legal victory for American victims of Palestinian terrorism.

I suppose I could be cynical and say given the trajectory of the nation, at least the seeming trajectory in throwing a bone to the cockeyed optimists out there — before long this decision will somehow become null and void.

Barring some wholly unforeseen development, such as Republicans actually mounting an effective challenge somewhere, the 120th Congress will convene on January 3, 2027 with a record seven Muslim members, six representatives and, for the first time in American history, one senator. And for Muslim Brotherhood-linked organizations in the U.S., the future looks bright.
Before 2007, there were no Muslim in the House of Representatives or Senate at all. The seven Muslim legislators who will be sworn in (on the Qur’an, no doubt) in January will include the four representatives in the 119th Congress: Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.); Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.); Andre Carson (D-Ind.), and Lateefah Simon (D-Calif.). Joining them will be the nation’s first Muslim senator, Abdul El-Sayed (D-Mich.), as well as Reps. Darializa Avila Chevalier (D-N.Y.) and Adam Hamawy (D-N.J.).

My only consolation in an Islamized Ameriqqqa is that should I God-forbid still be alive to witness that nightmare I will at least have the pleasure of watching the Democrats and Leftists get their heads lopped off first, having sold us down the river and thus rendering their political alliance with Islam no longer necessary and its own preternatural lust for absolute power, that led to this alliance of convenience, a potential threat to our new Mullahocratic overlords.

Elsewhere, and as CBD and I have discussed with disgust for the umpteenth friggin' time on the latest episode of the podcast linked here as well as in the sidebar and on all the popular platforms listed at the bottom of the post, We are fed up with President Trump's constant yammering about how Iran is going to get it good and hard if they don't sign on to some bullshit ceasefire accord.

Well, leave it to Lurker extraordinaire, friend of the blog and #1 Ace cruelty fanboi Prof. Victor Davis Hanson to be the one to put things in perspective.

The Long View of Iran: The headlines focus on negotiations, but the war’s real story is this: Iran is steadily being broken by sanctions, isolation, and relentless military pressure. . . Bottom line? Iran is losing whether it is being bombed, sanctioned, or embargoed—or all three. Its ultimate fate now rests with the Trump administration, which apparently has not yet decided what, exactly, that fate will be.

Read the whole thing as he goes point by point.

Well, at least CBD and I shockingly over the course of the last several episodes have completely ignored the Fauci revelations. Wow, how did we miss that? Others seem to think that Senator Rand Paul is going to come down hard on the Mass-murdering fiend. Considering his victim count, between the virus cum bio-weapon he created for the Chi-Coms with our own money as well as the toxic vaccines from Big Pharma, is up there with Pol Pot if not Mao or Stalin, a gallows would be appropriate if not too good for this rodent-like bastard.

When Anthony Fauci pleaded the Fifth over 100 times during a Senate hearing last week, many Americans were pleased that the face of the Biden administration’s coronavirus response was forced to face his critics. But many other Americans were left wondering: would Fauci face anything worse than an embarrassing viral hearing? He will if Senator Rand Paul has anything to say about it. The Kentucky Republican is determined to bring the former head of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases to justice. Speaking to The Daily Wire Wednesday, Paul explained why he’s confident that the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee will hold the embattled doctor in contempt — and what he thinks could happen next.

Well, as our wonderful president (and I mean that in all sincerity) is wont to say, we'll just have to wait and see. And that said, Forget Greasy Kid Stuff Newsom, Mayor Buttplug or Chlamydia Harris, I think the Democrats might at long last have their ideal candidate for 2028 — Mini-Mengele Fauci!

Have a good day, and on a personal note, thank you for all your good wishes yesterday. And thank goodness for the A-Bomb that ended World War Two 81 years ago today. Nod of thanks to an uncle who worked as a tool and die maker for Enrico Fermi!

These declassified records suggest that the FBI was determined to conclude that President Trump was a Russian asset despite a lack of evidence and pushback from agency personnel. Significantly, the investigation into claims of collusion between the President and Russia heavily disrupted the early years of the first Trump administration. The investigation heightened partisan divisions and deepened distrust of the Intelligence Community. They show that perceptions of the Intelligence Community as excessively scrutinizing President Trump without a solid foundation to do so were warranted, raising concerns about the weaponization of the federal government and its agencies.

18 I guess I'm one who's willing to fight in the trenches of the Language War. Since this is a written language forum I'll go on the record as preferring the rather old fashioned term "Mohammedan." Churchill used it.
I think it conveys a stronger yet subtle message than "Muslim" or even "Islamist." It reflects the stark contrast with "Christian" which also refers to a specific set of beliefs based on a specific individual.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

"uBlock Origin" - anti-ad-ware/malware block

"NoScript" - Prevents javascript running on any site unless I approve it (temporarily or permanently) and I can mark certain sites as "UNTRUSTED" permanently as well.

Privacy Badger - automatically learns to block hidden trackers
Canvas Blocker - prevent websites from using some Javascript APIs to fingerprint them
SponsorBlock (for YouTube) - skip over sponsors, intros, outros, subscription reminders, and other annoying parts of YouTube videos
Port Authority - Blocks all possible types of port scanning. (Did you know web sites can try to port-scan your INTERNAL network from your browser? They can. This blocks that crap.)

Redirector - specify patterns for pages that should be automatically redirected to other pages (I use this to auto-redirect x.com links to nitter.net)
AiBlock for YouTube - Block AI-slop channels (community driven)
&udm=14 - Adds "&udm=14" to google search URL automatically so results avoid AI crap.
Nuke Anything - Useful for temporarily removing annoying "non-skippable" pop-over frames like forced login dialogs.

60 Immigrants consumed around $401.6 billion in welfare and entitlement benefits in 2023, according to a recent study by the left-of-center Cato Institute think tank, which noted that American-born citizens tend to benefit more than their immigrant counterparts. Around $125.2 billion in funding was consumed by noncitizens, according to the report, and another $310.1 billion by naturalized immigrants.

About the same cost as the Dept of Ag.

So even if you are wildly bullish about the company, and want to leave shares to your kids when you go (like me), it probably best serves your interest to let all this share supply hit the market and see where the stock price goes.

Similar to Crockett/Talarico in Texas.

Prediction: Rogers by 3 in Michigan.

Black voters are the most reliable Dem bloc, and the Dems are kicking them in the dick over and over.

It's going to have repercussions. They won't swing to the right, but they'll stop spending money, time, and energy on Dems and they'll show up in smaller numbers. That will have an outsized impact on election results.

And then, after those results are known, the Dem infighting will REALLY get going because of all the second-guessing.

Interesting question. Dearborn is in Wayne County and Stevens won it by 6 points. But al-Qaeda Guy won Dearborn itself by almost 12,000 votes. Since his statewide margin was only 15,000 votes, you can say Dearborn (and muslim dominated Hamtramck) won it for him.

I am in favor in removing the regime in Iran, seven days a week. If they are not removed, I shall be disappointed but I'll live. I don't concern myself with the day-to-day happenings of the conflict. Honestly, for the most part I wouldn't even notice it but for the roundtable of retired flag officers here who opine constantly that Trump, et al, are doing it wrong.

So it's easy for me.

221 One of the interesting points in the Iran war is that the US is not invading and only marginally interested in regime change

The US wins if Iran stops supporting terrorist groups, blocking the straight (for whatever level that means), and working on nukes.

Iran wins if the US does not achieve these goals.

But based on the way Trump is fighting the war - small investments of US treasure and even smaller investments of US lives, Iran has only one path to winning, getting Democrats elected in the US.

244 >>Michigan imam Hassan Qazwini forcefully urged his congregants to turn out in force for Abdul El-Sayed on Tuesday. . .
Qazwini has a long history of inflammatory and antisemitic rhetoric. In 2020, Sanders's presidential campaign denounced what it called Qazwini's "antisemitic conspiracy theories" and "toxic" comments after Qazwini claimed that Israel funds ISIS and that the terrorist group was "playing the role of the arm of the Zionist in the Muslim world." And Qazwini has described Sanders as an honorable man, "even though he is a Jew."

In 2024, Qazwini labeled lawmakers who supported the Antisemitism Awareness Act "stooges of Israel" and said they should be "indicted and convicted of treason."

And Qazwini has publicly praised Iran and Hezbollah, the Iran-backed terrorist group in Lebanon. In a June 26 sermon, he said Iran had "stood firm" and "humiliated the most powerful man on earth." During a March 24 sermon, he prayed for Allah to "grant victory to our brothers in Iran" and "inflict defeat upon Your Zionist enemies," according to an English translation.

Why is this man in our country?

I'm praying with you.

So they vote on the basis of "which political brand makes me feel better about myself?" as opposed to any reflection of consequence.

Throw in a plurality of Third World voters and you get to an electoral majority pretty reliably.

So much is the Governors' & AWFL's fault here in PA. (And they're all so very well heeled!) But if I must live even briefly under communism, I hope it's long enough for them to come to deeply understand the differences between tyranny vs reformation, and that unchecked hostility increases the risk of societal fracture & political violence.

But, a brief break to more pleasant & interesting thoughts and articles of today.

I had come down to believing we're rather stuck without our friends, the Israelis, in a continual active role. VDH's article does put the Iranian situation in a better perspective.

And, also from above, "thank goodness for the A-Bomb that ended World War Two 81 years ago today. Nod of thanks to an uncle who worked as a tool and die maker for Enrico Fermi!"

That's amazing, and a great history lesson. Thanks, again.

348 Both bad. But when I had to spend my 2 years of imprisonment in NJ (sorry NJ peeps), I was stunned at the homes that were not updated. Like ever. It was crazy to me. And not like cool mid mod time capsules, either. We immediately redid the kitchen in the house we ended up buying because eeek.

This is correct! "Run down" ought to be the default description in real estate listings in NJ town.

Why? Well, maybe because very high taxes take most to the investment value away. Why invest when the state is taking the value? Houses in my town are typically taxed at about $25,000 per million of assessment.

349 I’ve never renovated homes. Never lived in one long enough for things to be out of date. House I’m in now was a full remodel by the previous owners.

My parents did a renovation in the home I grew up in. Kitchen and bathrooms and floors iirc. it was a real PIA and much fighting between them during the process.

Yeah, the taxes on our house were not fun, either. Never again. I am fine where I am, even if that means geographical Batchelorettehood.

Abdul El-Sayed's more so an "issue" than Dr. Adam Hamawy of NJ or Chris Rabb of PA?

Hell, practically have to drop a bomb on some people to make them pay attention to much of anything beyond their cozy little town, county, or state.

Thousands of ballots spoiled in West Michigan primary election due to errors, Updated: Aug. 05, 2026

In part, "Voter turnout increased across Muskegon, Kent and Ottawa counties for the Aug. 4 primary election.

However, due to errors, thousands of ballots were “spoiled” and not counted toward the totals.

In Michigan’s primary elections, voters must choose to vote in only the Democratic or Republican primary. If a voter chooses candidates from both parties, their ballot becomes invalid."

365 Here is the bottom line regarding Iran.
You don't F'k with us, we don't give a damn about what you to to your own sovereign constituents.
Either Iran's population belly up to the bar or they are on their own. We will not save you at our own expense.
Grow a pair!
F'k with us and we will pound you!
Iran is its own jail.

366 Here is how it should work. Anthony Fauci ( I will not call him a Doctor or a Scientist). He has disparaged titles regarding those labels. He is a charlatan! We, the People of the United States seek the knowledge of those whom are honest brokers to 'advise' us regarding a path forward to survive depredation. Anthony Fauci was a self-servient false prophet who exploited his pseudo knowledge to embellish his own public (MSM) importance. The low IQ cabal bought into his posture.

When I look at your website in Firefox, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer,
it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up!
Other then that, awesome blog!
