The Morning Report 5/2/24

Good morning, kids. “All enemies, foreign and domestic.” Boy have we got them. In spades. I would say that ironically, the coordinated fake campus “protests” which are completely bought and paid for organized pogroms/riots ostensibly to distract the electorate from the abject disaster that has been the Biden junta, but likely just plain old Jew- and America-hatred, is perhaps unifying a whole lot of disparate groups that may or may not consider themselves of the left in absolute revulsion. 

On a positive note, to answer the hoary old question “Can’t we all just get along?,” here’s a sort of positive sign:

Pro-“Palestinian” protesters and counter-protesters at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa united to show their displeasure with [so-called quote-unquote “president”] Joe Biden. Video footage posted to X showed protesters on both sides chanting, “Fuck Joe Biden.”

Who said the country is disunited? In all seriousness, we’ve never been more divided and dare I say it more bitterly and absolutely divided than ever. Lincoln’s famous quoting of Scripture that “A house divided against itself cannot stand” applies not only in the macro, but also in the micro. By that I mean the coalition of disparate grievance groups under the aegis of the Democrat banner which, despite the destruction they have wrought against the nation they are a part of yet hate with a passion – which to this point has served the Democrats’ will to power quite well – evidently has come to its inevitable crisis point at which the rivalries and stratification of who is the most aggrieved, seems to be coming to the point of collapsing their whole house of cards on top of them.

On top of everything that has soured all but the truest of true Marxist believers on the Democrats, this eruption of anti-Semitism could be the straw that breaks the Kamala’s back. The next six months are going to perhaps be the most perilous in our history, and certainly in our own lifetimes. The Demorcat-Left might very well be collapsing in on itself but like a certain Viennese housepainter, the Gotterdammerung order is surely in effect. They’ll take us down with them if they have to.

Psaki-psircling back to enemies foreign and domestic, here are just a few examples of what we will likely have to contend with, for sure sooner than later as November looms closer.

A University of Tehran professor said in an interview that Iran likes seeing protests on US college campuses, adding those are their supporters if there is ever a conflict between the two countries.

Professor Foad Izadi, who, according to the University of Southern California Center on Public Diplomacy, earned his master’s degree from the University of Houston, was seen in a video published to social media and translated by MEMRI.org, being interviewed about the protests in the US.

“Sooner or later, this kind of support for the Zionist regime by the American regime will diminish. It might not stop completely, but its diminishing is important,” he said in the MEMRI video. “This is why the demonstrations [on US campuses] are important.”

Izadi spoke as a member of the Islamic Republic, and oftentimes said, “we,” referring to him and the republic.“We are watching the demonstrations and like what we see, but it should not end with this,” Izadi said. “If not for the Islamic Republic, the case of the Palestinian idea would have been closed years ago. The idea of resistance belongs to Iran, but on the operational level, when it comes to recruiting connections and building networks, the [Iranian] state has not been involved in a sufficient level.

“These (American students) are our people,” he continued. “If tensions between America and Iran rise tomorrow or the day after, these are the people who will have to take to the streets to support Iran.”

In the wake of Israel’s total thwarting of Iran’s attempted mass aerial attack the other week, and perhaps its imminent final assault on Hamas’ last redoubt in Rafah, a little asymmetric warfare over here could be just what the mullahs are contemplating. I’d say, they have agents already here courtesy of the non-existent border, but this goat-boffing savage is correct; who needs them when our own home-grown micturating matriculating Marxists are willing and eager to do some Jew-bashing and firebombing of power stations for them?

Yet speaking of open borders and foreign terrorists . . .

Federal law enforcement officials have arrested a man from Uzbekistan who is an alleged member of the ISIS terrorist organization and who has been living in the U.S. for the last two years while applying for asylum. . . 

. . . Attoev crossed the border in Arizona in February 2022, was apprehended by Border Patrol, and claimed he was an asylum seeker, the report said.

Officials claim that they could not find any “derogatory information” on him so they released him into the U.S. with a court date. “Then, in May 2023, Uzbekistan put out an international notice that Attoev was wanted in his home country for his alleged affiliation with ISIS,” the report said. “But it was not until March 2024, almost a year later, when the U.S. government was reviewing Attoev’s application for asylum, that officials discovered the notice from Uzbekistan and connected it with the man living in Maryland.”

. . . Numerous federal law enforcement officials told the publication that the case was the perfect example of how dangerous the immigration and asylum system is in the U.S. because it takes authorities a long time to follow-up on those who have already crossed into the U.S. — usually illegally.

Enemies foreign and domestic. Here we have a foreign enemy who could not have breached our defenses had our #1 domestic enemy Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants and those pulling his strings had not opened the gates wide open for him. If you think he’s a one-off, think again. That goes for Biden, too.

Meanwhile, as far as the campus pogroms are concerned . . . 

One of the ten protestors arrested was a 39-year-old man named Atah Othman, who was caught with a gun on his person during the protest. Given what we have seen as these college kids grow more unhinged in their protests, it was quite likely Othman would have opened fire at some point had police not intervened when they did. . . 

. . . when your little minions are openly talking about bringing weapons to the protest, it’s not a protest anymore. Besides, what was a 39-year-old man doing at this protest anyway? Even more worrying, he got out on bond. Granted, it is still too early to jump to conclusions about who Othman is. But the fact that he was armed and other people were talking about bringing weapons means that what I said yesterday about flat-out pogroms occurring right here in America could very well happen.

Granted, it is still too early to jump to conclusions about who Othman is. But the fact that he was armed and other people were talking about bringing weapons means that what I said yesterday about flat-out pogroms occurring right here in America could very well happen.

Don’t believe me? Fox 7 reported that after Travis County police cleared out the University of Texas in Austin and arrested 80 people, they uncovered stashes of guns (yes, guns), chains, mallets, and bricks around the encampment. Furthermore, 45 of those arrested were not in any way affiliated with the Longhorns, either as students, faculty, or staff. . . 

The question, then, is who is behind this frenzy of antisemitism we’ve seen on college campuses these past couple of weeks?

While I am not discounting these protests being the end result of colleges breeding indoctrinated leftist morons who come back to bite them in their collective hindquarters, nothing about them seems to have formed organically. Someone has to be buying and setting up these fancy tents (North Face ain’t cheap, you know) and providing these weapons.

. . . By the way, did you also see that one of the people at the Columbia protest was Nahla Al-Arian, wife of Sami Al-Arian, who was busted way back in 2005 for raising money for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad? Things that make you wonder.

Atah Othman is not exactly a Scots-Irish name, now is it? And recall the pallets of bricks left at strategic locations in the middle of the night in business districts all over the nation during the 2020 summer of mostly peaceful Burning Looting and Murdering. 

Four years later, the NYPD actually ejected and arrested the miscreants at Columbia and CCNY. And just to remind you, the city’s DA is none other than Alvin Bragg.

Bragg, who is currently prosecuting the case against former President Donald Trump, did not respond to multiple requests for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation asking whether pro-Palestinian protestors arrested on Tuesday would be charged. The New York Police Department (NYPD) arrested 119 protestors at Columbia on Tuesday night, along with 173 protestors at the separate City University of New York (CUNY) protest, where students occupied an administration building.

“Given his track record and the political nature of the events, I would be surprised if the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office prosecuted the charges in a serious manner,” Cornell Law School professor William Jacobson told the DCNF. “The charges are likely to be dropped against most perpetrators, and drastically reduced for others under an agreement that would see the charges eventually expunged.”

Yet Daniel Penny is awaiting trial for accidentally causing the death of a psycho on the subway who was threatening fellow passengers with violence. Yeah, Penny’s got to burn. As does Trump. Same deal with the Jewish students and their defenders at the attempted pogrom at UCLA. Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom will throw the book at them, for the heinous crime of self-defense while being Jewish, which cannot go unpunished!

Of course, this story is all just a terrible misunderstanding!

The Stanford University teaching assistant who was caught on tape calling for [so-called quote-unquote “president”] Joe Biden’s assassination and praising Hamas is now naming and shaming the students he says recorded his remarks and reported him to the administration.

Hamza El Boudali, who in January told Jewish students in his computer science section that they would be treated “very well” by a Hamas caliphate, on Wednesday posted a thread on X with the names and headshots of students who “illegally recorded and doxxed” him “in clear violation” of Stanford’s code of conduct. It is not clear which provision of the code he is referencing.

. . . More recently, a masked individual at Stanford’s pro-“Palestinian” encampment was spotted wearing a Hamas headband. The university announced on Tuesday that it had forwarded a photo of the individual to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Hamza, Hamas, Hazmat. Pfft. The FBI will get right on that. Just as soon as they can identify anyone within 10 miles of the Capitol on 1/6/21 who might have been wearing a MAGA hat. Or anyone silently praying within 1,000 parsecs of an abortion mill, or someone complaining about a drag queen exposing his junk in the women’s locker room at Planet Fitness. 

You can threaten to assassinate Joey Rutabaga and nothing will be done. Because Heaven forfend they stay home in Dearbornistan this November!

Yesterday, I stated we should take to heart the leftist bromide that the Constitution is not a suicide pact. Today, maybe we should take a second look – from our perspective – at “No Justice, No Peace.” 

It may yet come down to that, God help us.
