The Morning Report — 8/26/24

Good morning kids. Well it certainly seems that the reaction of America's foreign enemies and rivals to the prospect of Harris and Walz being installed in the white House is the inverse of every sane, rational American citizen that still has a Pulse and more than two functioning neurons to rub together, unlike the vegetable who was deposed, and who she colluded with to set the stage for the final destruction of America as founded by enemies foreign and most especially domestic. That is, her and her party and those who support their goal of fundamental transformation.

As things heat up in Israel, along its northern border with Lebanon, essentially an armed encampment of Hezbollah and by extension Iran.

Approximately 100 [Israel Air Force] fighter jets, directed by IDF intelligence, struck and destroyed thousands of Hezbollah rocket launcher barrels that were located and embedded in southern Lebanon. Most of these launchers were aimed toward northern Israel and some were aimed toward central Israel. More than 40 launch areas in Lebanon were struck during the strikes. . .

. . . According to some reports, Hezbollah had been planning to launch a barrage of thousands of rockets at Tel Aviv. After the Israeli airstrike, Hezbollah launched hundreds of rockets, to little effect. More Hezbollah rockets were expected. Israeli authorities prohibited large public gatherings in the central and northern part of the country, and advised people that while it was safe to go to work (Sunday is part of the work week in Israel), they should only do so if they had access to a bomb shelter. In the event of sirens, people were to enter “safe rooms” or shelters for ten minutes.

Naturally, by refusing to allow themselves to be slaughtered and removing the threat, Israel will no doubt be accused of dangerous escalation, if not war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity from Turtle Bay, to Foggy Bottom and college campuses around the nation, as well as the editorial boards and anchors' desks of the propagandists.

Meanwhile, Iran's Houthi allies blew up a Greek-flagged oil tanker in the Red Sea

Which could give the Junta, whoever the hell is now in charge supposed cover to put NATO forces, meaning Americans, in harm's way. Which is kind of funny since the Junta is pro-Iran, anti-israel and to an extent anti-Saudi. And lest we forget, anti-oil!

At the same time, we are still sending billions of dollars more to the borscht belt belligerent Zelensky to continue the pointless support of a meat-grinder that could, with a miscalculation, potentially force Putin or one of his generals to go ballistic. As in nuclear. Please do not misconstrue this as my approval of Putin's invasion of Ukraine. I only oppose our getting mixed up in a centuries old border dispute and ethnic war, this latest round that could've perhaps been avoided and even ended well over a year or more ago.

Lurker extraordinaire Victor Davis Hanson notes:

There are three current hot or cold wars: on the Ukrainian border, in the regions surrounding Israel, and in the strategic space between Taiwan and mainland China. All three conflicts could not only expand within their respective theaters but also escalate to draw in the United States. And all three involve nuclear powers. . .

. . . Joe Biden has been judged by the American people in the polls as too enfeebled to be reelected and declared by his own party to be too cognitively challenged to remain its nominee. That may suggest to foreign risk-takers that the U.S. president is deemed unfit by Americans themselves and thus conclude there might be a vacuum of rapid-response leadership at the White House.

The unspoken corollary is that the American people and both their political parties are certain that, while Biden is incapable of continuing as a normally engaged president through the last half-year of his tenure, he will nevertheless inevitably do so. And that conclusion is likely shared by enemies abroad, who may surmise that if there ever was a time to alter the current geostrategic map or the relative balance of power, that rare occasion is now on the horizon.

And lest we forget it's the Democrats stated official position that America is an illegitimate nation whose power,position and influence is a mistake of history. Just look at what was stated on the opening night of Nuremberg '38/Chicago '24. That is taken straight from their official Democrat Party Platform. Just as they want to replace Israel with Iran as the key power in the middle East, they want to replace America with Red China as the World's global military and economic authority.

Have a good day.

ISRAEL vs IRAN & GAZA/HAMAS/Hezbollah . . . AND BIDEN
• Approximately 100 [Israel Air Force] fighter jets, directed by IDF intelligence, struck and destroyed thousands of Hezbollah rocket launcher barrels that were located and embedded in southern Lebanon. Most of these launchers were aimed toward northern Israel and some were aimed toward central Israel. More than 40 launch areas in Lebanon were struck during the strikes.

• Since the October 7 terrorist attacks by Hamas against Israel, Yemen’s Houthis have engaged in an extensive terror campaign against shipping in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. However, the attack on the Greek-flagged Sounion is one of the most brazen strikes yet. The fact that the ship is Greek-owned and said under a Greek flag raises some concerns that the attack could trigger an Article 5 declaration by NATO, as Greece has been a member of the alliance since 1952.

• Robert SPencer: Now that Sykes’ handiwork is the flag of the nonexistent nation of Palestine, one who chooses to wear it is making a specific and definite political statement. Someone committed to the cause enough to wear a Palestine flag around his waist as he attacks a synagogue is not just expressing pride in this fictional nation, but also solidarity with the Palestinians in their war against Israel, which, it should be remembered, they started, and wish to continue until there is a new genocide of the Jews. It is the banner of hatred, evil, and murder. That is why jihadis wave it with pride.

• During presidential campaigns, candidates are typically briefed by the nation's security agencies on critical matters they could face if they win the election. However, this week former President Donald Trump announced that he would refuse to take part in these standard intelligence briefings for candidates. And the reason is actually quite genius. He explained his decision by expressing concern that Democrats would leak classified information and then attempt to accuse him of being the source of the leaks.

  TRUMP ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT AFTERMATH

• The revelation comes after several USSS agents were put on leave over the Trump shooting, including the special agent in charge of the Pittsburgh Field Office and a member of Trump‘s personal security detail. Hawley, however, stated that it was not enough just to put several agents on leave. The Missouri Republican is asking Rowe to provide the name of the individual who told agents their requests would be denied and whether any disciplinary action has been taken against them.

• Robert Spencer: If he wins the election, will Trump defeat the swamp this time? It shouldn’t be solely up to him. Both parties should see it as being in their interest to destroy this massive and unaccountable federal bureaucracy. The deep state’s coup attempts against Trump should lead to civil service reform that makes it possible for a president to remove various officers and appoint people in their place who will implement his agenda. Democrats should support this as well as Republicans: no elected president of either party should be impeded by unelected bureaucrats. But it is likely that the Democrats have too much to lose if the full story of the deep state were revealed to support such a move.
