The Morning Report — 10/23 /26

Good morning kids. So once again let us compare and contrast. First up we give you this absolute madness.

Now there's this, from a criminal bound to be identified in the press as a 'Virginia man.' QUANTICO, Va. (7News) — A 27-year-old man was arrested Wednesday after police said they found him using a sledgehammer to smash an Iwo Jima statue in Quantico, Virginia.
. . . Why was this monument of all monuments targeted? Why was this history targeted? Why was he able to do hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage, as authorities have said. What kind of human garbage would openly do it right at the site of the Marine headquarters?
Is nothing sacred?
. . . Only someone with absolutely no respect for the U.S. nor respect for the sacrifices these men made would do this. Only someone who hates this country and has no roots in it.
The lowlife has not been identified as illegal alien at this point, but there are signs he may be one in illegal-rich Prince William County, which hosts 34,000 illegal aliens, only 470 of whom have been arrested in the past year. Forty-five percent of them are from El Salvador.

And that brings us to the comparison portion of the show, and as if to illustrate the cancer metastasizing in our formerly sacred society I give you a debasement on the aforementioned that sprang from within who debases the name of a man who, for whatever his faults may be for sure epitomizes what our immigration policy and aims ought to be tailored to and for. Apologies in advacnce.

On Thursday’s broadcast of MS NOW’s “The Last Word,” Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) stated that the Trump administration “reviles immigrants” and Elon Musk is “an immigrant who came in, who never really inhaled the real values of our country. … He’s got no real interest in the values of our country, in equal protection and due process and the First Amendment and representative government.”

The projection is just off the charts. As I stated before inflicting this radioactive dog turd on you, Elon Musk epitomizes American greatness and what our immigrant experience was, long ago and far away, and now in our imaginations and memories only. Jamie Raskin is worse than the cancer infecting him.

Well, as he blasts away at a true patriot, not even a peep about this:

A local ABC affiliate reported on Wednesday that the FBI had arrested a 17-year-old resident of McKinney for planning to kill Rep. Keith Self, R-Texas, at an event earlier this month. The Texas congressman is a member of the House Freedom Caucus and co-founder of the Sharia-Free America Caucus, which seeks to bring “attention to concerns surrounding Sharia [law] and its incompatibility with the principles enshrined in the United States Constitution.”

Should Raskin live long enough for the Mamdanis, El-Sayeds and Bro-Fo Omar Nur-Saids (or whatever her nom du jour may be) to take over America, I hope I draw my last breath after seeing them slice his puppet head off with a rusty hacksaw because the insult to injury of Judaism and every decent American was that this shitstain on humanity was, by an unfortunate quirk of fate, spawned of Jewish parents.

Thank goodness we have real patriots on our side!

Neil Bush, the brother of former President George W. Bush and son of former President George H.W. Bush, said Tuesday that he voted for Democrat James Talarico in the Texas Senate race while criticizing President Trump and “those who have enabled him” for causing “enormous damage to the Republican Party.”
. . . “But character matters more than party affiliation,” he wrote. “Our democracy depends on leaders who respect our institutions, tell the truth, accept accountability, and seek to unite rather than divide.” Character matters? Oh my. This from the ‘Hunter Biden’ of the Bush family.
. . . Chinese oligarch’s company with ties to George W. Bush’s brother plunges in value Neil Bush, the brother of former President George W. Bush, sits on the company’s board as deputy chairman. Neil Bush’s ties to Chinese-owned companies have drawn public scrutiny and once landed a super PAC supporting his brother Jeb Bush in hot water. In August, the company chairman, Hui Chi Ming, was charged with physically assaulting a Hong Kong-based British man in March of this year. Hui was also charged with criminal damage for smashing the British man’s cellphone.
Character matters!

Well if Raskin doesn't make you vomit like a wino with the DTs that should do the trick nicely.

On these and all the rest of the unmitigated dreck, and nugget or two of relative sanity if not actual positivity, I truly hope you all have a great weekend.

35 Foreign Interference: Zohran Mamdani Gives Last-Minute Boost to Brazil’s Lula

“One month ago, I sat down with President Lula to discuss how government serving poor and working people. Weeks later, Brazil took a historic step: a 40-hour workweek, at least two days off and no cuts to pay for more than 30 million workers,” Mamdani wrote.

Because some poor Brazilian guy in Sao Paulo living in a shack next to a freeway overpass is really going to make up his mind based on what the Ugandan-Indian hizzoner of NYC thinks about who should run his country?

I like how Mamdani is kind-sorta patting himself on the back for something that had zero to do with him.

The applause line received barely any reaction from the crowd, prompting the stunned former vice president to painfully deliver it again.

“That’s their limitation. That’s not our limitation. That’s their limitation,” Harris continued, before delivering more of her trademark “word salad.”

“We are not limited in our ambition and desire and ability to see what is possible and what can be,” she told the crowd.

His attorney says "It was a road rage incident where the guy went to get his gun without an intention to kill. There was no proof there was an intention to kill the guy.”

52 It is understandable how the collapse of economies and rise of Fascism in the 1930s drove people to Communism, or at least Socialism. Anti-Semitism was (I guess) supposedly outlawed in the Soviet Union. My knowledge of history is not so great on that last point.

When that happens, will Marine Le Pen be ensconced in the Elysée Palace instead of Macron? Will the army put on its boots? In other words, are we witnessing the closing chapter of Paris as we know it, or a precursor of a future round of rioting that may yet be squelched by a braver government?

61 Should Raskin live long enough for the Mamdanis, El-Sayeds and Bro-Fo Omar Nur-Saids... that this shitstain on humanity was, by an unfortunate quirk of fate, spawned of Jewish parents.

Since you brought this up. And this is a very touchy subject. Help me to understand. Jews are over-represented in the high skill, high competency, high compensation professions. My lawyers, doctors and accountants are all Jewish because of their competency and professionalism.

Ethnic Jews are also over represented as absolute shit politicians to the point that as far as hostility to Christianity, Western Civilization and the US Constitution the level of hatred and destruction is indistinguishable from Mamdanis, El-Sayeds and Bro-Fo Omar Nur-Saids.

There is no way that Bloomenthal, Schumer, Slotkin, Frey, Mayorkas, Schiff, Ossoff, Sanders, Wyden, Spanberger, et al are compatible with the founding principals of The United States and have worked with the Mamdanis, El-Sayeds and Bro-Fos to actively seek this country and this culture's total destruction.

This isn't about picking on ethnic Jews, this demographic is typically over-achieving. Why the hatred by those in politics?

Periodically I go to slash dot to see what tech lunatics are on about. There was an article about the UN decreeing that we are on the cusp of no return on "climate change" the entire comments section was eaten up wit Trump derangement.

Why?

Apparently he and the US are solely responsible for all of the earths CO2 emissions.

And the price of Diesel is high, which leftest want through taxation but that money is not being taxed properly and we also need to not be using Diesel and Trump is preventing the world from not using Diesel but also responsible for it being high, and for not investing in alternative energy, but the price of the thing they don't want us to use is high and we need it to make the things that don't work....

On this day in 1940, Hitler met with Francisco Franco at Hendaye to try to fix terms by which Spain would enter the war on the Axis side. The meeting, at which Franco made vague promises and inordinate demands, was a flat failure. Hitler later said he'd rather have three or four teeth pulled than go through that again.

Had Mussolini been as shrewd as Franco and remained non-belligerent (as he should have), he would have helped Hitler more than by messing about in the Balkans and Africa, needing to be bailed out and eventually having Italy invaded.

"If you listen to Democrats, the media, and polling firms, you might believe that Texas is about to turn bright blue. Yet if you spend any time with actual Texans, you probably have a very different view.

This is what happened to Katy Tur of MSNOW. She recently said on the air that she has become ‘skeptical’ about midterm polling in Texas after she spent some time on the ground in the state.

Tur even went so far as to wonder if pollsters are just reporting what they think people want to hear"

127 DeGaulle was quite the asshat at the time as well.

I hadn’t realized the jiggery-pokery that the Brits employed at the time. They were against a cross channel invasion in France right up to June of ‘44, American planners were always concerned with Churchill reneging on his promises of cooperation and insisting on the invasion through Italy or the Balkans. Gen. Montgomery was a real piece of work as well. It was not all sweetness and light betwixt the Allies. The propaganda at the time revolved around the U.S.A. saving England’s colonies, and making the world safe for Communism.

The key part is Democrat governors acting to end public order, and to promote rioting. Will that happen?
======================

DataRepublican’s reporting on documents and recordings from the Democratic Socialists of America and allied networks lays out a calculated strategy for the run-up to the 2028 elections. The goal is sustained mass violence and street clashes designed to push President Donald Trump into invoking the Insurrection Act. Once invoked, Democratic governors and progressive organizations would treat the order itself as evidence of “fascism” and a reason to undermine federal authority.

I've gamed out an early 1943 invasion of France numerous times. The US and UK get their buts kicked.

In retrospect, every invasion, of Sicily, Salerno, Anzio, was honing our ability to supply forces over the beaches. In addition, we were short of LSTs and amphibious assault vehicles.

We needed until June '44 to be able to put 5 divisions onto the far shore. Less divisions could have led to an invasion that could be contained.

I figure Germany falls around the same time, but then we just take their place on the Eastern front as Russia seeks to get us out of Eastern Europe and breaks up the alliance. We bash it out them there and in Japan/China, to the extent they can spare effort in the Far East. That goes on for a few months and then BANG - off go the nukes.

Summer of '46, Patton raises Old Glory over the Kremlin.

Then, I like to imagine he is elected President and exiles the American Communists to the old Russian gulags we now own. Owen Lattimore is forced to personally crown Chiang Kai-shek Emperor and then pull his rickshaw around Peking while he thrashes him with a long whip.

195 "Medicare for All Is Popular—Until People Find Out How It Would Work"

Leftists who tout Medicare for All, and Canadians and Europoors who believe we are crazy to not enjoy the wonderful benefits of socialized medicine, do not understand what women in America and a lot of men want first and foremost.

To see a GP doctor TODAY without going to the Emergency Room, then see a specialist TOMORROW (or no later than the next Monday). Tell AWFLs and women with a sick child the first available appointment for a GP is a week away, or three months away for see any specialist, and there will be blood in the streets. The blood of politicians.

245 Here's another DOOM prediction.

From zerohedge...I know...they've predicted 103 out of the last 2 recessions. And avoid the sewer of a comment section.

"Republicans are confronting an increasingly concerning political situation in Kansas, where a Senate seat the party has held for more than a century has become unexpectedly competitive.

Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) is facing Democrat Adam Hamilton in a reelection contest that recent polling suggests is within single digits, despite the Sunflower State not having elected a Democrat to the U.S. Senate since 1932.

During an appearance on Fox Business Network's Big Money, Marshall was pressed about why the race remains so close.

"Well, no, I think it's the price of gasoline," Marshall declared. "It's that simple, and I'm not sure it's as close as what the national polls are showing. Six years ago, I was an open seat. The poll showed the same thing, and we won by 11 points. Now, I don't think we're going to win by 11 points right now.""

This is the kind of crap I always see on CNN and MSNow. President Trump is holding rallies in conservative strongholds, polling shows the dems have a shot.

No statute. It was DACA, an EO.

Deferred action. A quasi-legal state where the federal government told people that while the feds knew they were here and not legal, the feds would do nothing to deport them.

Trump tried to end it in Trump 1.0, but the Administrative Procedures Act wasn't followed according to SCOTUS (APA is...of questionable constitutionality). What Trump 2.0 is doing now instead of directly ending the program is letting all of the deferred protections lapse, giving ICE a larger pool to deport from without legal boundary.

When she and Grandad were dating in 1920's Baltimore, he took her to dinner at an Italian restaurant. At the end of the meal, they spotted a new menu item to order for dessert. Pizza Pie.

seriously I have to move. just had a talk with youngest. we're gonna prep this winter to sell in spring and head out. I like Donalds and he looks safe to win.

if their scenario plays out, maybe it's "better" to be in one of "their" states, but fuck that. I want to be in an American state.

“Vance thinks he’s gonna be president...we need to keep FIRING, PISTOLS FIRING, at ALL TIMES, towards this guy. He is not fit to be a father. He is not fit to be a husband. He is not fit to be a Vice President.”

In the same rant, she called Vance an “Antichrist-style sociopath” and a “white nationalist prostitute bigot”

She is sparking new threats against Vance, and she is fully aware of the consequences.

282 Learn something new every day:

Brave AI:
Pinsa, also known as pinsa romana, is an oval-shaped Roman flatbread that serves as a lighter, more digestible alternative to traditional pizza. It was created in 2001 by Italian entrepreneur Corrado Di Marco, who trademarked the name to market a new product line, though he later admitted the historical connection to ancient Rome was fabricated for promotional purposes.

The dough is distinct from pizza due to its unique flour blend of wheat, rice, and soy, which provides a crisp exterior and airy, cloud-like interior. Key characteristics include:

High Hydration: The dough contains up to 80% water, compared to roughly 50% in standard pizza dough.

Long Fermentation: It undergoes a slow leavening process of 48 to 72 hours, which breaks down gluten and fats, making it easier to digest and lower in calories.

While marketed as an "ancient Roman" dish, pinsa is a modern invention that has evolved into a global food trend, with pinserias now operating in major cities and frozen versions available in grocery stores. The name derives from the Latin verb pinsere, meaning "to pound" or "to stretch."

Oil outflows on the strait itself are above prewar levels, there's no open conflict between the nations, and the war amounts to a blockade that's slowly strangling Iran as a nation to death.

Iran is a non-issue. An excuse by Democrats to suddenly realize that things got expensive under Biden, which they couldn't talk about for 4 years.

Oil isn't affected by the conflict anymore since outflows are back to prewar levels (actually over it). Oil is now more affected by the Russia/Ukraine thing than anything else.

And we're not losing troops, so we don't get "death counts" on TV of troops.

No one actually gives a shit about bombing ME countries, which will probably start post-election again, because it's been going on for so long.

Not every war is Iraq, and people not being able to understand that is making American politics dumber.

Hey now.

We can't ignore decades of regulation from the EPA which made opening refineries in America cost prohibitive and dangerous business ventures alongside CA bragging about closing a few of their own.

We had 300 refineries in the US in the 70s. We have less than half that today.

"Modern cheesecake is not usually classified as an actual 'cake', despite the name (much like Boston cream 'pie'). Some people classify baked cheesecake as a torte due to the usage of many eggs, which are the sole source of leavening, as a key factor. Others find compelling evidence that it is a custard pie, based on the overall structure, with the separate crust, the soft filling, and the absence of flour. Other sources identify it as a flan, or tart."
