The Morning Report — 9/3/24

Good Morning Kids. This past weekend marked both the 85th anniversary of the start of the Second World War and the 79th anniversary of its official conclusion, with the signing of the surrender of Japan aboard the U.S.S. Missouri.

As General Douglas Macarthur stated:

     It is my earnest hope and indeed the hope of all mankind that from this solemn occasion a better world shall emerge out of the blood and carnage of the past - a world founded upon faith and understanding - a world dedicated to the dignity of man and the fulfillment of his most cherished wish - for freedom, tolerance and justice. . .      It is my earnest hope and indeed the hope of all mankind that from this solemn occasion a better world shall emerge out of the blood and carnage of the past - a world founded upon faith and understanding - a world dedicated to the dignity of man and the fulfillment of his most cherished wish - for freedom, tolerance and justice.

While one can certainly make the case that the blood and carnage of the past are indeed the human condition. Over the course of human history, in spite of that, there have always been people who have striven to make Macarthur's prayers and hope come true.

Yet here we are 80 years on and the nation that was founded as the exception to history to be that shining example of freedom tolerance and justice has rotted out from within by the forces of venality, tyranny and oppression who seek our souls and our destruction to satisfy their base desires for absolute control.

Obviously, today as we look to the rest of the world, and most especially to where the precepts of our founders, the Judeo-Christian tradition and Western civilization itself, were born, the land of Israel, it's all collapsing in on itself in an orgy of ancient bloodlust and hatred, as retrograde forces continue their never-ending quest to conquer the world, and/or destroy it if they cannot have it. The twin monsters of slam and Leftism.

I'll have to keep it brief today, as I have a very early doctors appointment.

Have a good day, keep the faith, and don't let the bastards get you down.

Hasta mañana.

ISRAEL vs IRAN & GAZA/HAMAS/Hezbollah . . . AND BIDEN
• Israel rejects accusation. Also today, Hamas threatened to release videos showing ‘last messages’ of 6 murdered hostages.

• Biden, who was spending time at his vacation home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, after returning from a jaunt to California, put out a statement Sunday claiming that despite all appearances to the contrary, he had been “working tirelessly” since October 7 to ensure the safe return of all hostages. (Well, Rehoboth is a biblical locale, so there you go! - jjs)

• The protest — organized by two leftist groups, the pro-Palestinian organization “Within Our Lifetime” and “Healthcare Workers for Palestine” — began in Union Square before protesters marched to Washington Square Park, chanting phrases like “Israel, go to hell.” Within Our Lifetime said the March is part of a broader nationwide movement, CBS News reported.

  WE-ALL-SLAM-FOR-I-SLAM

• Robert Spencer: Authorities think that Robles was “building explosive devices similar to the ones that killed three and injured hundreds in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing.” There is some indication that he planned to carry out an arson jihad attack on New Year’s Day 2024. He was also doing online searches for “information and floorplans for Chaparral High School in the east valley.” If he had managed to carry out a jihad attack there, police would still be saying that they didn’t know his motives.

  Kamala Harris Hates You

  THE ECONOMY, STUPID

Nancy Skinner, who abstained, blocked the amendment from consideration.

• The SAVE Act aims to require individuals show proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in elections for federal office and pushes states to remove non-citizens from voter rolls. It already passed the GOP-led House in July with the help of a handful of Democrats. However, the Democrat-controlled Senate has not taken up the bill since then and the Biden administration formally declared its opposition to it.

• Harris’ statement is a complete falsehood, as Trump has continually championed America First policies and the American worker over globalism and foreigners. Trump even addressed this narrative in December 2023, when Democrats were still championing President Joe Biden as their competent, mentally strong candidate of choice to run against Trump in 2024.

  FINALLY . . .

• Seventy-nine years ago today, representatives of imperial Japan signed official surrender documents, ending WWII. It was a day both for rejoicing and mourning. Rejoicing, because the war was over and more than a million Americans wouldn’t be in deadly jeopardy during an invasion of Japan; mourning for the countless soldiers and civilians butchered by Japanese forces during the war.
