The Morning Report — 10/1 /26

Good morning kids. Obviously the big story of the day is the thwarting of a mass religious experience of peace love and understanding by the Religion of Peace ™

After attacking the pilot of a Tel Aviv bound airliner out of Dubai, the copilot was intent on nosediving the plane into the heart of Tel Aviv. But somehow the grievously wounded pilot managed to fight back and along with several incredibly brave passengers wrested control from the Muslim beast and averted a mass casualty slaughter.

The pilot who was repeatedly stabbed by his co-pilot during Wednesday’s attempted terror attack aboard a flight bound for Israel has been identified as Indian national Smit Machchhar — and accounts emerging from the aircraft credit his fight for control with helping alert passengers to the danger unfolding inside the cockpit.

Machchhar, a veteran pilot with nearly 10,000 hours of flight experience, was flying Flydubai Flight FZ1073 from Dubai to Tel Aviv when the Omani first officer allegedly attacked him with a knife and attempted to seize control of the Boeing 737 MAX 8.

The aircraft eventually landed safely in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia, but Machchhar was seriously injured and rushed to a hospital after the emergency landing.

Muslim Pilot ‘Tried to Do 9/11’ and Kill a Planeload of Israelis . . . He didn’t reckon, however, on the indomitable spirit of the passengers.

By now, the whole world knows, as the New York Post reported Wednesday, that “an Israel-bound passenger plane pilot was reportedly stabbed several times by the jet’s co-pilot in the cockpit — and the terrifying scenes caused the aircraft to plunge almost 20,000 feet in minutes, sparking fears of a ‘terrorist attack in mid-air.’”

The passenger plane pilot who was stabbed was an Indian national, Captain Smit Machchhar; his co-pilot was an Omani Muslim who had evidently decided that a plane full of Israelis gave him a marvelous opportunity to wage jihad for the sake of Allah. This sort of thing was bound to happen sooner or later, and will almost certainly happen again. After all, the Qur’an repeatedly directs Muslims to “kill them wherever you find them.” (2:191, 4:89, 4:91, cf. 9:5) Regarding the Jews, it says: “You will find the Jews and the idolaters the most vehement of mankind in hostility to those who believe” (5:82), and demonizes them relentlessly in numerous other passages.

Add to all that the fact that the Islamic jihad against Israel is worldwide. Numerous Islamic jihad groups have called for the murder of Jews all over the world. It’s noteworthy that the pilot who attempted this aerial jihad was Omani. Oman is not often heard from in connection with jihad, and many assume that the Muslims there are “moderates.” The jihad, however, is universal. In fact, when a Muslim land is attacked, Islamic theology holds that defensive jihad is obligatory upon every Muslim worldwide. And many Muslim authorities consider the very existence of Israel to constitute the attack of a Muslim land.

Hey, I ain't no crack historian like Victor Davis Hanson or Robert Spencer, but I had no idea that Houston Tx was a Muslim land?!

Two teenagers have been arrested in different US states over a plot to carry out a mass-casualty attack against Congregation Beth Israel, a synagogue (pictured above) in Houston, Texas.

Angelina Han Hicks, 18, of Lexington, North Carolina, and a 16-year-old boy from the Houston area were arrested and charged. Hicks allegedly conspired with two people identified only by their first names, “Angel” and “Teegan,” to “kill as many Jews as possible” by driving a vehicle through a congregation at the synagogue, the oldest in Texas.

And just as a gentle reminder as if any of you need it, the trolls notwithstanding, this is the most well-informed readership anywhere on the internet, or anywhere in general, given the nature of Islam and their extremely dangerous allies of convenience the anti-American American Left, we are all JOOZ now!

That's why this strikes me initially as rather humorous .

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), a terrorist organization formally belonging to the Iranian armed forces, published a 26-page open letter to the American people on Tuesday inviting Americans to visit the Strait of Hormuz, insisting “death to America” did not mean Iran wished death on America, and suggesting the September 11, 2001, jihadist attacks were a “false-flag operation.”

Yes and the Democrats don't really support the Democrat Socialists of America, either. just a false flag op!

But in point of fact everything that the Democrat Party has done over the past 200 years, given the death, dislocation, dissolution and wastage of life and human potential of all of its policies, and that they have never embraced America as founded and have done their damndest to overthrow the American revolution and replace it with a tyrannical dictatorship of its own design with them in control in perpetuity (Heh, just like Islam!), the Mullahs ripped off the slogan DEATH TO AMERICA from the Democrat Party. That's why what this Islamic savage belched up is kind of chuckle-worthy in a bitterly ironic way.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) wrote a 26-page letter to the American people on Tuesday, urging them to vote for Democrats in the midterms. 

And that is what I believe is called the clincher.

It should be noted that the term “fifth column” has been weaponized in the past against minority populations such as the Japanese, who were interred during World War II, as well as against Americans of German descent during both world wars. Nevertheless, documented foreign influence operations, a court-tested organization with ties to a terrorism financing case, and a $591 million CCP-adjacent funding network are not manufactured; they are in the public record as cited in this article.

The most defensible version of the premise that drove this article’s analysis is narrower than “a fifth column” and broader than nothing: several distinct domestic and foreign-linked networks have documented, sometimes overlapping records of hostility to American constitutional order. At least one of them (CCP united front and IRGC-linked operations) meets the term’s original meaning, and at least two more (the CAIR/Muslim Brotherhood cluster and the Singham-funded left ecosystem) have court records, government designations, or congressional financial tails that go well beyond ordinary political disagreement. What is not yet documented is a unified command linking them together.

And this makes me say hallelujah .

Ron DeSantis, Florida Cabinet Declare CAIR, Muslim Brotherhood, and Antifa as Terrorist Groups “The designations will also apply to more than 90 organizations already listed as foreign terrorist organizations by the U.S. government, including the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, two Mexican drug cartels and Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.”

Yes he has some baggage, but America can do a lot worse than Meatball Ron, but I would enthusiastically cheer on his first and then his second Swearing-in ceremonies as POTUS. I don't mean 2028 but sometime down the road, '32, '36..'40?` should I live that long. But cheer him on I will...

AM Yisroel Chai and God Bless America!

Have a good day.
