The Morning Report — 7/ 8 /26

Good morning kids. With everything going on domestically and internationally, this morning we have something coming totally out of left field, and given that it's in NYC, it's both literally and figuratively. Still, ¡Hay Caramba!

The Midtown high-rise that dangerously buckled Tuesday will need to be partially demolished — although stabilizing it to even attempt the risky move could prove extremely harrowing, experts told The Post. The 37-story former Pfizer headquarters at 235 E. 42nd St. near Second Avenue will first need to be stabilized as soon as possible to prevent a possible localized collapse, they said. Without intervention, it poses a “significant danger” and “could collapse,” said Ronald Hamburger, a structural engineer with five decades of experience and who served on the federal team that investigated the World Trade Center catastrophe.

From what I understand, were it not for the fact that the building was undergoing renovation/conversion the buckling beam might very well have gone undiscovered and then might well have ultimately snapped and potentially catastrophically collapsed the structure. Reminds me of the potential catastrophe that could have collapsed the then new in 1977 nearby Citicorp Center tower, had it not been for the fact that an engineering student IIRC by accident discovered that the design was never tested for wind loads hitting the tower obliquely. And this was right before that year's hurricane season and so a massive retrofit program was begun just as a major hurricane was barreling up the east coast, and it was a race against time. Given who and what is running NYC, there couldn't be a more perfect metaphor than a collapsing skyscraper, which could have been avoided were it not for competence and common sense at the outset. And yet we have Hurricane Mamdani already cutting a swathe of destruction there as well as primed to sweep across the rest of the land, as both CBD and I discussed on the newest episode of the podcast linked here and on the usual outlets listed below.

Of course the fallout over Nazi-loving Jew-hating rapist Graham Platner continues to eat up the Democrats. But his revolting predilections and accusations as we all know too well is not why the Democrats are desperate to have him disappear.

"It's because the recent polling shows that Graham Platner was going to lose to Susan Collins," Perino said. "And they thought, wow, we only have two weeks to figure this out." . . . "If they pull a Biden switcheroo, the Democratic brand is just so damaged in the state," Perino said. "And Susan Collins, what is the knock against her? She's so steady. There's no drama. Okay, well, maybe the state will be looking for that." . . . The bigger picture is even uglier for Democrats. The base wanted Platner or somebody like him. The establishment wanted a safe pick like Gov. Janet Mills. That civil war didn't end this week, and Perino identified exactly who keeps losing it.

And speaking of the base, which is indeed Base, this vile garbage is the sine qua non of who and what the Democrats are:

Rep. Becca Balint (D-VT) said a fellow House Democrat dismissed concerns about antisemitism by claiming it is no longer a problem because “all the Jews are rich.” Speaking to CNN, Balint said the unnamed lawmaker made the remark during a bipartisan House antisemitism task force meeting. She recalled the incident after watching footage of California state Sen. Scott Wiener being forced out of a transgender rights event by protesters angry over his support for Israel, saying it reminded her of other examples of antisemitism she has encountered. . . “I know at some point there will be a day of reckoning, because I still believe that Jews should have a homeland,” Balint told CNN. “There will be people, I think some of my own supporters, who will turn on me, because I still believe in a two-state solution. I still do. I still believe that Israel should be safe and secure. I believe that the Palestinians have been so ill-treated for so long and deserve a safe and secure homeland. I do not believe Israel should be dismantled.”

At some point and I believe we've reached that point, it's no longer going to be about Israel.

It's just plain old Jew-hate straight up same as it's always been.

In an interview with ABC News’s This Week, Mamdani offered his short tenure as proof of concept for socialism. “We don’t have to ask ourselves what life looks like if a socialist wins,” he said. “I won last November, and over the course of these last six months, what we’ve delivered for working people are the very things we were told were impossible.”

After finally passing the largest budget in New York City history, Mamdani claimed that “if these past months have shown us anything, it is that socialists not only understand economics as well as the capitalists who came before but that we can solve their years of mismanagement through an embrace of our principles.”

On the contrary, Mamdani’s first six months in office indicate the success of capitalism and the regular machinations of municipal government, not democratic socialism.

To a Muslim Communist, Capitalist is just another word for JEW. Of course one doesn't actually have to be Jewish to be a target, just an honest, hard-working, successful tax-paying law-abiding citizen. And the Mamdani pestilence is not confined to New York as can be seen from sea to shining sea, especially in California from whence the ever-popular billionaires' taxes sprang,

and will not be limited to billionaires. Anyone with two nickels to rub together will ultimately be targeted because having two is racist, homophobic and unfair. Since that second nickel of course came about because of slavery and white supemacy inflicted on the downtrodden by white interlopers, colonists and diamond merchants, doncha-know?!!!

Elsewhere in the world, things are heating up in and around Iran. Meh, when did they cool off.

Trump says Iran cease-fire is ‘over,’ vows to no longer deal with ‘sick people’ The revocation of oil sanctions waivers signals a hardening U.S. stance and raises questions about the viability of the Trump administration’s ongoing negotiations with Tehran. Further disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz could have significant implications for global energy markets and U.S. strategic interests in the region.

If the President no longer wants to deal with "sick people" when do we go after Leftists?! Because it's a miracle what's left of the Republic made it to 250 and if these vermin have their way, we're not making it to 275, let alone 500!

And speaking of which... 'Tokyo Bros' Go to Tehran to Call for 'Death to America,' and We Have Questions About Treason

What does it take to get arrested for treason around here, anyway? The last person to be arrested for working for the enemy and against the United States was Tomoya Kawakita, an American who switched sides to become a Japanese POW slave labor camp overseer who brutalized American soldiers in World War II. Then there was Tokyo Rose, who served the Imperial Japanese as a radio propagandist. Old Tokyo was arrested, tried, and convicted when she tried to get back into the U.S. after the war. And that gives me an idea. I don't know about you, but I think that's a splendid idea for what I've dubbed the "Tokyo Bros," two American media influencers who went to Tehran to lead cheers with the "Death to America" crowd and fete the dead Iranian ayatollah. They claimed that the dead ayatollah was "fighting for humanity" against "evil" Zionists when he met his 72 old bags in the afterlife. 

That's no hyperbole. This guy, Jackson Hinkle, a communist and anti-American — but I repeat myself — was on stage and literally led a "Death to America" and "Down with America" chant over the weekend in an IRGC-approved massive crowd in Iran. We know it was an approved propaganda ploy because, were it a collection of thousands of "free" Iranians rising up against the dead-ender Twelvers, the Basij would have mowed them down like they did the estimated 42,000 souls murdered during Iranian street protests last January. Wink, wink.  Why would we want that treasonous bastard to come back to our country in anything less than a ball, chain, and leg irons? Then there was Sid Vicious Blumenthal's son (Hillary's boy, Media Matters et al.), Max Blumenthal, who visited Tehran to fanboy over what a great guy the dead ayatollah was and be the hypeman for "these popular mobilization rallies" that have been approved by our sworn enemies in the IRGC. I don't wish to be indelicate or anything, but we're in a hot war with Iran at the moment. We were just dropping bombs and strafing some bad hombres on Tuesday morning.

Hinkle amplified this message about killing the president while he was over in Tehran. We recognize that Americans have free speech rights, but ... pssst ... treason on foreign soil isn't protected free speech. Pass it on.

Max Blumenthal is one of the most heinous examples of what I call the "Self-gassing Jews" anywhere. And is Hinkle related to Adenoid Hinkle?

Line up the two against a wall and let them sandwich Jane Fonda for good measure and have a raffle where the winners get to be in the firing squad.

Have a good day,
