The Morning Report

The Morning Report — 10/2 /26

Good morning kids. I know I'm a day late, but October already. Meh, on a personal note, 10 Years already! Wow. I want to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude to all of you and of course Ace for allowing me the incredible opportunity to do this column. And a nod to all the cobs for their support and collegiality over the years! It's been rewarding and challenging, especially the past two years as I have been dealing with health issues, brain cancer which unfortunately despite surgery as well as chemo and radiation, are ongoing as I have had a couple of recurrences which I am still dealing with and given the nature of this disease, barring some miracle cure or treatment regimen, I will be facing for the rest of my life, however long the good Lord grants me. So with that I thank you all for your prayers and good wishes, so enough of that and let us get to the news of the day.

While we're speaking of cancer, we collectively still must deal with Islam.

On Wednesday night, I visited the University of Texas at Austin to address students there — and so did notorious Twitch streamer Hasan Piker.
I, a female survivor of Hamas’ brutal terror, came to share my story at the campus’ Chabad student center.
On an auditorium stage half a mile away stood Piker, who once said about the day I was shot and taken: “It doesn’t matter if rapes f–king happened on Oct. 7, like that doesn’t change the dynamic for me even this much.”
This man sold out the 460-seat venue where he spoke within 20 minutes, and another 2,500 people joined a waiting list.
He isn’t a fringe character on college campuses; he’s increasingly becoming the mainstream on campus. But his enthusiastic fans are the people who most need to hear my story.

The problem is that they'll hear your story and at best call you a liar and at worst ululate in orgasmic glee at what you endured.

The list of Muslim suicide pilots also includes EgyptAir Flight 990 in 1999 where the first officer kept shouting “Allahu Akbar” while downing the plane as well as Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, the subject of endless fantastic conspiracy theories ranging from UFOs to black holes, but that was actually likely the work of Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah.
After the FlyDubai incident in which an Omani Muslim pilot stabbed an Indian pilot in a reported attempt to hijack Flight FZ1073 bound for Israel and possibly crash the plane, the list of Muslim pilots who tried to bring down airplanes is up to 4. And that means that 44% of pilots who deliberately crashed tried to crash planes were Muslim.

to tweak the twisted verbiage and illogic of Leftists and Democrats, and make it relevant and accurate, what we desperately need, and have needed for almost 15 centuries, is Common Sense Islam Control... Before Islam controls us to death!

Who do you think is the most extreme socialist candidate running in these 2026 midterms?” a participant named Barry M. asked. . . “This guy’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing. He goes on Fox News, and he deflects every question: ‘Did I want America to suffer during 9/11? Well, people can’t afford groceries.’ That isn’t the question that you were just asked. This guy is the most dangerous one,” the senator continued.
“Well, that’s like who’s the tallest midget? Because man, oh, man. That’s a tough one. I’d have to say just on sheer jihadist credentials, it would have to be Abdul El-Sayed,” (Sen. Bernie)Moreno replied. .. El-Sayed, who is running against Republican Mike Rogers, has claimed he is “not a socialist,” although he is running on a platform backed by socialist lawmakers Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI). He has also campaigned with far-left streamer Hasan Piker, who claimed America “deserved 9/11.”

And from the insane we go to the ridiculous.

Tennessee death row inmate Christa Pike — who is now in the hospital after a botched execution — was given the all-female lethal injection team she had requested, her attorneys revealed on Thursday.

Couldn't they find women who could get the job done?! I understand this Lindsey Clancy was available?! Well, that or find a jihadist with a rusty hacksaw, we're overrun with them!!! And jeez, what are they using for lethal injections, St. Joseph's aspirin? Um, I'm no chemist but I understand something called potassium cyanide might've worked a tad better in stopping this fiend's black heart.

Anyway, God bless you all and on that and all the other depressing notes I bid you to have a great weekend!

Though he added that it probably wouldn't go that way in Texas. (Agreed, but get back to me after the midterms.)

35 “Cheap compute, super intelligence, and advanced commercial manufacturing have enabled the proliferation of low-cost, high-precision strike.”

Chief of my concerns about this technology is that Republicans build devastating weapons and when they eventually cede power to the Communists, the Communists will share this with their friends and then turn the weapons upon their own countrymen.

One small example: Look at how much 1033 Gear was given to irresponsible, trigger-happy SWAT teams in various blue cities.

I've seen it reported, and nothing on the internet isn't true, that she stopped eating/drinking three days before the event and became dehydrated which made her veins problematic. I'm not a medical person so I don't know how plausible it is.

As for the all woman team, it's also been reported that the same doctor oversaw this event as Tennessee's last execution, which was also botched. Maybe the drugs were bad, maybe it was deliberate, who knows.

Seems like they could use some of that fentanyl we keep seizing to get the job done.

48 Yes, filling up the tank still costs too much, and spot grocery prices such as beef remain painful — but core inflation hit just 3% in August, so it’s still coming down from the Bidenflation stratosphere, albeit not as fast as we’d all like.

FY2025 is $7.01 Trillion
FY2024 was $6.73 Trillion

Trump and Congress continue to spend more than all other budgets in all of American History.

Inflation at 3% is a miracle or some really shitty metrics for calculating "inflation".

I had a partial knee replacement 3 years ago. Great success; I run on it to the tune of about 20 miles per week (though slower than I used to be)… the PT is the key. Only downside is: the bionic stuff is not as good as the original equipment (despite what Lee Majors said). Oh… make sure your surgeon uses the robotic assist equipment to do the alignment… it’s better than manual

This is probably worthy of its own article, but one removes the Dispensational hermeneutic, when reviewing Judgement prophecies and fulfillment:
Amos, for example condemns Dishonest weights (rigged markets), exploitation of the poor, concentration of wealth; Isaiah goes after corrupt leadership, bribery, land consolidations;
Micah targets predatory elites, corrupt judges, leaders who profit from public office, clergy who tailor messages for money;
Hosea—idolatry;
Zephaniah hits on complacency.
Habakkuk focuses on ignored law, delayed justice, violence normalized, moral foundations that have rotted away.

Pretty normal stuff through history. The World is well inside that place, there are no longer any nations seeking God (maybe Nigeria and a few small African States)

Injections are a delaying tactics and actually, worsen the prognosis for your eventual replacement if over-used.

If you've still got enough cartilage, they may work for a while. But if you live long enough you're still getting a new knee or suffer in pain.

So far, I have had two rounds of hyaluronic acid injections (3 shots/round, spaced one week apart). The first round was good, the second not very effective.

Then I had a cortisone shot. Not really effective.

I go in for a consultation in November and surgical options may be discussed.

For you, and anyone else in the job seeking pool, based on my experience a few years ago, companies are doing a lot of interviews before hiring now. I think I did five with my company before an offer came my way.

142 (cont...)

But the interesting thing is that the judgements aren't crashed markets. About the only economic judgement comes from the secondary effects of the primary judgement: military and political collapse.
Science and global supply chains have done a lot to mitigate the environmental and agricultural devastation
The third is social and moral breakdown. As the West has completely wiped out its monoculture and replaced it with barbarianism and lawlessness. I'm leaning that the breakdown that we are seeing as actually justice rather than a precursor to justice.

What happens then is supply chain, starting with maritime, international trade, merchant wealth collapsing (ref Ezekiel) followed by famine, national destruction and foreign conquest (ref Amos) the other prophets were primarily directed at Israel/Judah as God was chastening them.

So once judgement begins, is there a way out?

No. Its replaced with something else (ref: Nebuchadnezzar's Colossus)

Jr. Black is trying to look for new employment with better pay than he's currently getting in the accounting/auditing field he's in. He went for an interview in the Atlanta area a couple weeks ago. Of the two women who interviewed him, one was overweight with tattoos all up and down her arms with nose piercings, and the other had her laptop out with lesbian and gay pride stickers all over it. He also saw someone in the office that looked like they were wearing lounge pants.

He's a straight white guy. He went there in a suit and tie. He never got called back. It's probably a good thing. He said the place looked very woke. He definitely wouldn't fit in. He's frustrated, because other than going through a recruiter to find positions in his field, trying to do it on your own is hard. Hard to know what's out there.

174 Free advice that nobody wants. If you get a knee replacement, don’t just get a doctor who does that, take the time to look at patient outcomes. That’s only one measure because recovery is an individual indicator and based on people physical state, general health and willingness to recover.

What do I mean by that last point? You must have the will and the capacity to consistently and with vigor do the rehab. Not only that but continue to do recommended exercises until God calls you home.

I was the taskmaster for someone who had a knee replacement. The rehab person was excellent and skilled in that recovery. I made sure the patient did whatever was recommended up to whatever the end of the safely achieved end of the envelope was. The success of that surgery depends on your willingness to not only do that rehab, but to wisely achieve the upper end of that goal.

I, a female survivor of Hamas’ brutal terror, came to share my story at the campus’ Chabad student center.

On an auditorium stage half a mile away stood Piker, who once said about the day I was shot and taken: “It doesn’t matter if rapes f–king happened on Oct. 7, like that doesn’t change the dynamic for me even this much.”

-------

We tried the outreach stuff for a long time on these campuses. I even did a bit of that bullshit myself twenty years ago, before it was a big money industry online.

None of it ever worked. Even a little. The more we reasoned with the Monster Babies, the more they were emboldened, because it projects weakness. They have no interest in talking.

Now, they assassinated one of our incessant yammerers, and celebrate it as a feast day for Monster Babies, and our answer is more yammering away at them. Because, you see, when maiming, murder, menacing and mayhem are met with yammering, it shows the yammerers are right, and possess the moral high ground.

As if right matters without might. It doesn't.

Any speech against the Left needs to be accompanied by a mass of angry, armed young men as a show of force. That, they understand.

193 Because of the shocking insanity I saw during Clancy, and just how off their rockers a lot of women are, my immediate thought in the aftermath of Pike's botched execution was that it's quite possible those responsible decided upon themselves to cook up a plan to throw a wrench into it.

Posted by: Lady in Black at October 02, 2026 07:58 AM (qBdHI)

It's a compelling argument. Might also just be evidence for my theory that too few executions increase the likelihood of failure when one is attempted.

There is an HBO series from years ago about a Soviet serial killer who when finally caught goes to court. As soon as the guilty verdict is recorded he's marched directly to a room and shot. That's some good justice.

Also, that video that Pixy posted is a real earworm. I wonder what language that is? Greek maybe?

People forget that surgery is only the beginning. The most important part is the rehab. I’ve known a lot of people with bad injuries. The key to success has always been the recovery and rehab.

Will you always be 100% like you were before the injury? No, but that’s not the goal. The goal is to be better than you were after the injury, in a matter of degrees. By degrees I mean make sure your goal doesn’t push the boundaries and re injure the wound. That’s hard for some people who spend their lives pushing those boundaries. But it is solid wisdom.

Have a plan. Set reasonable goals. Stick to the plan. Adjust with the advice of a good rehab person. Develop a relationship with someone who will keep you on track. YMMV

As for the all woman team, it's also been reported that the same doctor oversaw this event as Tennessee's last execution, which was also botched. Maybe the drugs were bad, maybe it was deliberate, who knows.

The Dodge Six Pack was a high-performance engine option introduced in mid-1969, featuring a 440-cubic-inch V8 topped with three Holley two-barrel carburetors. The "Six Pack" name referred to the six carburetor barrels rather than the cylinder count, producing a factory-rated 390 horsepower and 490 lb-ft of torque.

I suspect that differs for the younger crowd.

285 1% of men being chased. Sad, really.

That might be the perception in TikTok Land, but in The Real World, that phenomena isn't empirically backed up.

The TikTok set is a vanity/clicks/engagement monetization and self-affirming economy. Fortunately those numbers are pretty low.

The 6³ Women are focused purely on what they get out of the relationship and often they find guys who want reciprocation. Those relationship are doomed from the beginning because it has nothing to do with The Big Picture. The 6³ women filter themselves out of the gene pool. Men and women who love God more than their partners will do better, since the Partner is not responsible for the other's satisfaction out of the relationship.

The Big Picture used to include extending the blood line. In modern socialist societies, people expect other people to supply the care that offspring were expected to bring when the adults aged out of the work pool. When people don't see children as an heritage, or their relationships are about one Getting Something Out Of It, then dysfunction is baked in.

300 I'd rather be in jail than in love.

At least one can lead to the other.

301 So Hilton is going to give the lelection away with "working within the law" that the idiots already enshrined? Swell.

302 David Spade tells hilarious story of a first date with a young wannabe actress /waitress. This was at the height of his career but she didn't really know that much about it. He said that she basically interviewed him to see if he met her requirements.

303 And guys are onto that. That's why a lot of men are setting up coffee dates as a first date.

And then the women complain about how stingy men have become. Consequences are something they don't quite grasp.

304 And jeez, what are they using for lethal injections,

I believe Tennessee uses pentobarbital, which is very effective,...if given in the right dose, into a vein, at the right speed. Without being diluted. Or not given at all. Or not surreptitiously swapped for normal saline.

305 I just thank the good Lord I’m nowhere near the dating scene now. Sounds like a mess

My brother divorced 5 years ago. He said it's a raging dumpster fire. He probably won't get remarried.

306 I have no problem dragging some broad with me to dinner. It’s usually the end of a day and my ass is hungry. That dinner is still for me. All they gotta do is sit across from me, look hot and not make me want to stab my ears out with a fork listening to stupid shit by the time dessert arrives. So yeah, no problem dinner is on me.

And then they claim that there is a male loneliness epidemic. LOL.

Nah. They've just realized that their peace is worth more than the drama.

308 Who is Hilton?

309 I've been waiting for the rest of this story to come out, fully expecting for it to be revealed that it was intentionally sabotaged by someone on the injection team. Odds of that just soared.

We've gone from jury nullification to death penalty nullification in two short weeks.

I don't get how this could work. How can they attack the process for the death penalty without also exposing that used for assisted suicide, which they 100% support?

We have enough enemies of the US of A, like Islam, Leftists, Dems, drug-pushers, abortion clinics, to not add the entire opposite sex to our enemies list.

We need more friendship, love and forgiveness between men and women.

315 161 Thank you for all you do JJ and pray that you stay healthy and vertical for decades to come.

I first read that as healthy and virile; so that too. Vertical = virile in some senses.

316 Have a wonderful day, everyone.

May you have crepuscular rays from a cloud-dappled sky illuminating healthy fields of sorghum.

Thank you, again, J.J.
