The Morning Report — 3/11/24
Good morning, kids. Once again, it's a link-a-palooza to start off the week. While Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants and whoever is pulling his strings are the common denominator in all of it, the major action involves international affairs. And once again, the abject, blind, ideologically-driven, self-hating fools at Foggy Bottom that undergird the rank incompetence and criminality of the junta are fumbling and exacerbating yet another crisis, this time right in our own hemisphere.
The U.S. military said Sunday that it had flown forces in to beef up security at the U.S. Embassy in Haiti and allow nonessential personnel to leave.
The aircraft flew to the embassy compound, the U.S. Southern Command said, meaning that the effort involved helicopters. It was careful to point out that “no Haitians were on board the military aircraft.” That seemed aimed at quashing any speculation that senior government officials might be leaving as the gang attacks in Haiti worsen.
The neighborhood around the embassy in the capital, Port-au-Prince, is largely controlled by gangs. . .
. . . Haiti’s embattled prime minister, Ariel Henry, traveled recently to Kenya to push for the U.N.-backed deployment of a police force from the East African country to fight the gangs. But a Kenyan court ruled in January that such a deployment would be unconstitutional.
Henry, who is facing calls to resign or form a transitional council, remains unable to return home. He arrived in Puerto Rico on Tuesday after he was unable to land in the Dominican Republic, which borders Haiti. . . Henry, a neurosurgeon, was appointed as Haiti’s prime minister after the July 2021 assassination of President Jovenel Moise.
I could play devil's advocate here since Haiti has been an absolute basket case of a third world shit-hole since forever. While the situation as it stands may not be the Biden Junta's fault, since corruption, grinding poverty and criminality there have been historically endemic, it was Hillary and Bill Clinton who did more to make the rubble bounce there than anyone else. In the wake of the disastrous 2010 earthquake, nearly $14 billion dollars were sent to the island ostensibly to rebuild, create jobs and kickstart the economy. To this day there has never been an accounting of even one dime of that money, and Haitians are poorer than ever. Now with heavily armed street gangs on the verge of toppling the current government. I guess, this is the "initiative" part of the Clinton Global Initiative.
See here and also here.
The Clintons quite literally goniffed billions of dollars supposedly meant to help the people of Haiti who instead suffered even worse starvation when they weren't being raped and robbed by roving gangs of criminals and/or government-backed "Ton-Ton Macoute" death squads.
It takes a village pillage . . .
Meanwhile, in the Middle East, Joey and cackling Kamala chlamydia are making a horrid situation exponentially worse and potentially more dangerous by orders of magnitude, not only because of the fear of alienating their voter base in Dearbornistan, Mogadishu-appolis and their hardcore Marxist base, but just their plain old, everyday, garden variety Jew hatred.
After Old Joe Biden’s ranting, rabidly partisan declaration of war against half the country, also known as his State of the Union address, the figurehead Commander-In-Chief huddled with Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, and another sycophant, and boasted about the pressure he was putting on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: “I told him, Bibi, and don’t repeat this, but you and I are going to have a ‘come to Jesus’ meeting.” Calculated disrespect? Galloping dementia? We’ll likely never know, for, as usual, the leftist press corps is too busy propping up Old Joe to look into anything that might cast him in a negative light.
When Biden realized that what he was saying was going out to a watching world, he doubled down: “I’m on a hot mic here. Good. That was good.” Nor was this the first time that Old Joe appeared to be casting his contentious relationship with Netanyahu in religious terms. Last September, when Old Joe Biden finally invited the Israeli prime minister to the White House, after refusing to do so for nearly nine months while his regime did everything it could to undermine him, the two sat down for their first chat of Biden’s alleged presidency. As the leader of the world’s lone Jewish state began speaking, Old Joe bizarrely took the opportunity to make the sign of the cross. . .
. . . So is Old Joe in the habit of making the sign of the cross when thinking about those whom he hates and wishes to destroy? Is that what is on his mind when he thinks of Netanyahu? It’s noteworthy in this connection that during his State of the Union address, Biden claimed that “more than 30,000 Palestinians have been killed.” The source for this wildly inflated number is Hamas. If Old Joe is willing to take the claims of his fellow serial liars in Hamas at face value, is it any wonder that he would let slip a clear indication that the first thing he thinks of when he thinks of Netanyahu is “Jew,” and not in a positive manner?
Thankfully, Bibi's not having any of it.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made clear Sunday that he would be willing to ignore [so-called quote-unquote "president"] Biden’s “red line” and go forward with an invasion of Rafah as the Jewish state continues its military campaign in Gaza.
Israel has faced heightened scrutiny as the death toll in the Palestinian enclave continues to rise to at least 30,000, according to Hamas-backed health officials.
In an MSNBC interview Saturday, Biden said he was against further fighting in Rafah and called an invasion of the area a “red line” — but then quickly backtracked to say there was no red line.
“It is a red line, but I’m never going to leave Israel,” Biden said. “The defense of Israel is still critical. So there’s no red line [in which] I’m going to cut off all weapons so they don’t have the Iron Dome to protect them.”
Netanyahu said he didn’t care if Biden was in favor military action in Rafah, and pointed to the Oct. 7 massacre that killed 1,200 Israelis and saw more 200 kidnapped.
“We’ll go there. We’re not going to leave,” Netanyahu said in an interview with Politico’s parent company Axel Springer. “You know, I have a red line. You know what the red line is, that Oct. 7 doesn’t happen again.”
The Israeli leader also told the publication he had quiet support from several Arab leaders to press forward with Israel’s war on Hamas.
“They understand Hamas is part of the Iranian terror axis,” he said.
I would say we all know the value of an Obama/Biden "red line" given how Basher Assad flipped them the bird in Syria back in 2013 by his use of chemical weapons during that country's civil war. But this is Israel. Hated Israel. Hated Jews. And the aforementioned fear of alienating Muslims and their hardcore Marxist allies here in the States might cause them to actually blunder us into an incredibly dangerous confrontation.
As a thirty-four-year veteran of the United States Navy, I unfortunately have seen first-hand the good, the bad, and the ugly of the execution of America’s foreign policy, in many cases altruistic by design but either poorly executed or impacted by outside forces that caused the loss of many American servicemen and women’s lives.
The 1983 Bombing of the Marine Corps Barracks in Beirut Lebanon is a prime example of good intentions where America’s policy makers placed American’s in harms way in an untenable situation. Consequently two truck bombs struck buildings in Beirut, Lebanon, housing American and French service members of the Multinational Force in Lebanon (MNF), a military peacekeeping operation during the Lebanese Civil War. The attack killed 307 people: 241 U.S. and 58 French military personnel, six civilians, and two attackers and ultimately lead to the untimely withdrawal of the MNF. End result -- peacekeepers died in vain, and peace was not achieved. . .
. . . Fast forward to 2024 where the Biden [junta] attempted to provide humanitarian supplies to the people of Gaza by air drop which resulted in the death of civilians on the ground. We have now learned that the next phase if to provide relief supplies by sea which will necessitate the deployment of DoD's Joint Logistics Over-the-Shore capability, or JLOTS.
Again, another concept that may be easier to plan on paper than to execute in a war zone where food is used as a weapon by Hamas to maintain power over its citizens. I am sure that, as in the examples cited above, there may be unintended consequences resulting in the loss of American lives.
Yes, we have seen this movie before, and it has not ended well. However, let’s hope that this one is different, but based on our experience at Abbey Gate during out botched withdrawal from Afghanistan I suspect the ending may be the same.
For sure, Hamas is no doubt well aware of our insane "rules of engagement" whenever American troops are deployed, either for combat operations or humanitarian relief. Even without a wave of IEDs and other Islam-ikaze type attacks that no doubt will happen, not one grain of rice will wind up in the mouths of innocent non-combatant "civilians," who in point of fact are anything but, as eyewitness accounts of the barbarism and butchery of 10/7 have revealed.
What this aid will do is preserve the fighting ability of the Hamas terrorists, which is antithetical to the mission of the IDF to wipe them out. And that puts the hapless US GI and Marine who lands in Gaza in direct opposition to the strategic mission of Israel. You almost have to believe that Biden actually wants to provoke a shooting war with the IDF purely for what he perceives as political advantage in the run-up to this November.
That is flat out insanity, dementia or no dementia, because it's that mutt-eating mutt Obama that is directing this behind the scenes.
And speaking of corruption and thug-ocracy, perhaps we shouldn't be so critical of Haiti considering this kind of shit is happening right here.
FDNY Commissioner Laura Kavanagh promised to “hunt down” pro-Trump staffers who booed New York Attorney General Letitia James during a Thursday ceremony.
FDNY Chief of Department John Hodges warned others in the agency via email that the department’s Bureau of Investigation and Trials would identify who participated in the dissatisfied chants that James received at the event, according to the New York Post. . .
. . . Video posted on social media showed the crowd chanting “Trump” repeatedly as James was speaking on stage. Memos and emails that appear to be from the Uniformed Fire Officers Association (UFOA) and Uniformed Firefighters Association also circulated on social media, stating that the chanting was inappropriate to do “on the job’s time” and that participating FDNY employees “must do better.”
An FDNY retiree expressed his frustration with the department’s response.
“It was a political stunt for the city to have the AG there. When it backfired, they sent their fascist pit bulls after guys for exercising their First Amendment rights,” the unidentified FDNY retiree told the outlet. “Most were off-duty and not in FDNY uniform.”
"Fascist pit bulls" is exactly who is running this government and criminal justice system, my friend. Look what happened at that vile Klan rally disguised as a SOTU speech:
Steven Nikoui disrupted Biden’s speech and was arrested. His arrest came with a $50 bail and the prospect of a $500 fine or jail time, according to the New York Post. House Republicans are calling for the charges to be dropped as they pointed out the injustice of penalizing a father’s outcry over a personal and national tragedy. Republican Florida Rep. Mike Waltz has also offered to pay the fines related to the incident.
Nikoui’s son, Marine Lance Cpl. Kareem Nikoui, died in the 2021 ISIS-K suicide bombing amid the chaotic evacuation from Kabul. The attack killed 13 service members, and this prompted a relentless quest for answers and accountability, according to the New York Post. . .
. . . After posting his bail, Nikoui was greeted with overwhelming support at the Dubliner Restaurant in Washington, D.C. Fellow Gold Star families rallied around Nikoui, and applauded his courage. Gold Star father Darin Hoover detailed Nikoui’s ordeal to the New York Post. “He was taken out in handcuffs,” Hoover told the New York Post. “And so we all sat there and waited and waited and waited — and gave him a hero’s welcome when he came in.”
And we're surprised about roving gangs in Haiti set to topple yet another corrupt kleptocracy?
Feh.
Finally, a hearty vayr ge hargit to both Candace Owens and the even worse example of Jew-hatred in the form of self-gassing Yid Jonathan Glazer.

An apology, perhaps, and a vow to stop more psychopaths flooding across the border. Her family and traumatized fellow students deserve no less. But, no, he ignored Riley’s grieving parents, butchered their daughter’s name, twice, and then pandered with great empathy to the 8 million plus lawbreakers he has ushered into this country."
