More anti-Semitism.  This turns my stomach.  And leaves me befuddled.  What have the Jews done to deserve the treatment that they get?  Isn’t it the cops job to protect the public, not to restrict the activities of the victims?  And shouldn’t the perpetrators be restrained, not the athletes?  The arguments/excuses of the officials rings awful hollow to these ears.

Belgium bans Jews from sporting events like it was World War II

All it took was a little bit of graffiti for Belgium’s third-largest city to side with hate.

A group of Israeli frisbee athletes was scheduled to play in an international competition in Ghent last week when a vandal spray-painted antisemitic graffiti near the field: “Boycott Israhell Now!”

Insanely, the town’s mayor and police force reacted by booting the Israeli team from the competition.

At most, it might be cause for Ghentish citizens to rally and show that the European rhetoric of social tolerance applies to Jews too.

But no: In breaking the “You’re out” news, the police chief allegedly told the team’s coach, “This is your war, not mine.”

More, the town told the coaches and team members they couldn’t even watch the games.

/snip

The town is embracing a tacit policy of judenrein that’s growing all too common across Europe.

/snip

Note, too, that the Europe-wide athletic association behind the tournament passively co-signed this ugliness, proving yet again that the sentiments that allowed Hitler and his cadres to succeed are still alive and well.

    Real white supremacy.

    I once worked for a man who lived in Bristol, England, but was born and raised in Belgium. When he was a young man, Jack joined the Belgian military and qualified as an elite commando in the units assigned to maintain brutal, inhuman control over the Belgian Congo in the 1950s. As much as I liked the guy, I lost all respect for him after hearing some of his exploits in the Congo.

    Last night, I see on the UK Daily Mail site a story about former Trump aides spilling their little hearts out about how dejected and irate Trump is over Kamala and how his whole campaign is in turmoil.

    The key phrase is “former Trump aides.” This piece is so phony and obviously planted by the Harris crowd. What former Trump aide with any common sense would start talking to MSNBC ? Really ?

    William Jacobson at Legal Insurrection:
    

    A couple of weeks ago, I spoke to you about Operation Demoralize.

    It’s something we’ve been tracking at Legal Insurrection since 2011 and what it is, it is a concerted effort every presidential election to suppress Republican votes by creating a narrative that it’s over. There’s nothing you can do. The momentum is with the Democrat. It’s already been written, the result.

    And we know that’s not true. People are falling for it again. Now I see it all over the internet. I see it in my inbox, I see it in comments, I see it everywhere.

    He is exactly right.

    I’ve been scanning different conservative website comment sections recently and seeing the massive leftwing troll effort out there. The commenters are in force pretending to be conservatives who feel defeated and are certain Kamala will win or the “former Trump voter” who is now disenchanted or believes there is no way he can win. Some of them even appear to be in the awkward style of AI.

    One fact being mostly suppressed is the public and internal polls of Democratic voters do not reflect the “enthusiasm and joy” of the Corporate Media campaign to elect Harris/Walz. The numbers I saw this week for registered Democratic voters’ willingness to vote or go to the polls was pretty dismal.

    The point of the ridiculous and embarrassing fakery about Harris’ popularity and intelligence by the MSM is that some of it will rub off onto real voters. Democrats on the street are nowhere near as excited.

    The Kamala people are genuinely terrified at the genuine registered Republican voter eagerness to vote for the Trump/Vance ticket.

    From Legal Insurrection’s article at 8:08 AM:

    I just want to give you a little bit of historical perspective. On this date. August 14th, according to the Real Clear Politics national polling average, and that’s important, it’s the national average, Kamala Harris is up 1.1%. Oh my God, the sky is falling. It’s over.

    By comparison on this date in 2020, Joe Biden was up by 7.7% in the same Real Clear Politics average, and on this date in 2016, Hillary was up 6.8%.

     The REAL energy transition is toward natural gas. A few weeks ago, the price of natural gas fell below $2 per MMBTU, the lowest price level for energy, after adjusting for inflation, in 20 years and probably ever in the history of mankind. Just a few years ago, the price in real dollars was four times higher.

    As an experiment, I went to the grocery store to find out what a 16-ounce bottle of Evian water now sells at. The price I saw was $2.69 and can go as high as $3. This means natural gas is now less expensive than water.

    Oh I forgot to mention that I saw a nice Redfish (22″-25″?) on Tuesday about noon. He was about 15-20 feet from the shore heading west. Then this morning I saw another one about 5 feet form the breakers. I’ll add that on Monday I saw thousands of finger sized baitfish between the beach and the sandbar. And yesterday morning there were a bunch of Gulls and Pelicans feeding in that area just after daylight. It seems that this is the best week for fishing I’ve seen in a while.

    Had one of my headaches this morning. Tylenol didn’t cut it, but time and caffeine is helping. I have important errands to run in a bit, but I did make time to make/pray my rosary this morning. It seemed less head painful than facing the computer. I’m hoping soon that I can face tackling my hair; I should probably do that before heading out.

    I don’t want to scare any little kids, after all.

    You cannot believe this is really happening.

    EXCLUSIVE and BREAKING: During a Donald Trump visit to North Carolina yesterday, a woman Secret Service special agent abandoned her post to breastfeed with no permission/warning to the event site agent, according to three sources in the Secret Service community.

    Shortly before Trump’s motorcade arrival — I’m told five minutes beforehand — the site agent was getting ready for the arrival. (The site agent is the person in charge of the entire event’s security.)

    The site agent went to do one final sweep of the walking route and found the agent breast-feeding her child in a room that is supposed to be set aside for important Secret Service official work, i.e. a potential emergency related to the president.

    A working agent on duty cannot bring a child to a protective assignment. The woman was out of the Atlanta Field Office.

    The woman agent was in the room with two other family members.

    The agent and her family members bypassed the Uniformed Division checkpoint and were escorted by an unpinned event staff into the room to breastfeed, the sources said. Unpinned means they have not been cleared by the Secret Service to be there.

      This seems pretty cut and dried. Especially one that requires breast feeding. Why was this particular agent on duty at all?!? It seems to me that a whole bunch of the current Secret Service agency needs to be fired.

    Warning. This would be, and could be, a perfect false flag story to disrupt US/Israeli relations.

    According to Iranian sources–and hence we should be skeptical–a United States security delegation traveled to Tehran to assure the Iranian government that the US had no prior knowledge of the planned Israeli assassinations of Hamas’s Ismail Haniyeh and Hezbollah’s Fuad Shukr.

    A secret visit by a delegation to negotiate in person would by itself be surprising but not inherently traitorous to our relationship with one of our closest allies. The US has interests in preventing a general war in the Middle East, after all, and our interests may not always coincide perfectly with those of Israel. 

    quoting the Jerusalem Post…

    Allegedly, the American delegation presented a list with the names of ten Mossad agents within Iran whom the Americans believed were involved in the assassination, directly or indirectly.

    Al Jarida said that the Americans would have reportedly done this as a “good faith” initiative in response to Israel’s strikes, which were carried out without American coordination.

        Whatever happened to this story ? I read the number of agents exposed and murdered was in the hundreds, especially in China. This was caused by spectacular screwups by the CIA.

        October 2021:

        Last week, top U.S. counterintelligence officials warned Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) stations and bases worldwide that a concerning number of informants were being captured or killed, according to people familiar with the situation.

        Sent via top-secret cable that was viewed by DNYUZ, the message explained that the CIA’s counterintelligence mission center had reviewed dozens of cases over the last several years wherein foreign informants were killed, arrested or likely compromised.

        In a rare move, the cable reportedly included the specific number of informants executed by adversary intelligence agencies. 

        The message emphasized the difficulties faced by the CIA as it attempts to recruit spies around the world. Recently, rival intelligence agencies from nations like Russia, China, and Iran have ramped up efforts to track down the CIA’s sources and, in a number of cases, convert them into double agents.

    Good morning, C&C, it’s Thursday! It’s time for another special edition. The Wall Street Journal ran a fake news story about Nordstream that was so unbelievably awful I couldn’t help but use it as a teaching lesson. Prepare to learn how to be a more critical fake news consumer. Plus, a couple quick stories on the latest WHO pandemic and the intersection of solar weather and Earth weather.

    Remember the Nordstream pipeline explosion? It tops the column today.

    Yesterday the Wall Street Journal dished up a steaming pile of deep-state horse hockey, an ‘exclusive’ with the wild and (literally) unbelievable headline, “A Drunken Evening, a Rented Yacht: The Real Story of the Nord Stream Pipeline Sabotage. But wait, it immediately got even better. The sub-headline claimed, “Private businessmen funded the shoestring operation, which was overseen by a top general; President Zelensky approved the plan, then tried unsuccessfully to call it off.”

    Following is the ridiculousness of the claim that the incident was the end result of some drunken discussion amongst regular folks.

    …But let’s focus back on that leading sentence: “Now, for the first time, the outlines of the real story can be told.”

    Can be told. That sentence was a mistake made in haste. It wasn’t written by any independent WSJ journalist. The line implied some outside force or authority always stopped the story from being told before. But now, it has granted permission. The article never explained who or what that authority was. It raises murky questions that linger like octopus ink:

    Who stopped the story from being told?

    Why did they stop the story about ‘private businessmen’ being told?

    Why did this invisible authority decide now the story could be told?

    I’ll suggest we weren’t meant to know about the outside authority. It slipped into the article by accident, as the writer struggled to explain the story’s timing. That was an unintended gift, but it wasn’t necessary to understand the game.

    The more things change, the more they stay the same. I’ll let you read the rest of it over there.

    Next up: the Sun is hating on us again:

     Space.com ran a hot story yesterday headlined, “Colossal X-class solar flare erupts from ‘rule-breaking’ sunspot and Earth is in the firing line. Yep, even more unique space weather events. This one briefly blacked out shortwave radio communications. Brace for impact.

    Yesterday’s gigantic solar flare followed only days behind another unique (“rare”) geomagnetic storm. On Monday, the Hill reported, “Rare, severe geomagnetic storm hits Earth: Will it impact the grid?” Rare.

    The bottom line is, they keep wondering whether all these rare, rule-breaking coronal mass ejections will affect ‘the grid.’ They don’t know for sure, because we are in uncharted space territory. We’ve never seen a solar year like this. The Sun’s near-record activity has also been combined with the mysterious, centuries-long weakening in Earth’s magnetic field.

    Remember that it’s our magnetic field that protects us from our life source in the sky.

    Then Mr. C. makes a tongue in cheek observation:

    But otherwise-baffled scientists are certain about one thing: it doesn’t affect the weather. The year’s extreme weather events, like fierce flooding and gorilla hail, were purely caused by You, yes, you, I’m looking at you right now. You know who you are. SUV drivers and people who enjoy air conditioning.

    Indeed.

    The appliance transfer is complete. The old one is going to the shop for their use there. Who knows? It may run another 14 years. Once the new one was in place, Hubby proclaimed “It does look nice.”

    Getting the old one out of the door was a challenge, though not as difficult as getting the new one in. The handicap ramp that Hubby put in for me (and for his future use) came in mighty handy.

    As he stood in the driveway, leaning against the old frig and huffing and puffing, I reminded him that he used to manhandle these things all by himself, back in the day. He was quite studly, back then.

    “Heck, I used to carry them on my back up the stairs (at his parents’ apartments) by myself,” he replied. I observed that time changes things. He agreed.

    I try not to make fun of people’s appearances. But when a woman like Rosa DeLauro goes out of her way to look manly, coarse and exhibit herself as a mockery and rejection of beauty, it’s as if she resents the fact she wasn’t born a pretty girl so she will shock and offend everyone by mocking femininity and beauty. It’s as if she is saying: If I can’t have it then you will all have to see me everyday as a witch and a silly old woman who dies her hair purple at 81 years of age.

    Well we’re spooling down the beach trip, wife left about 5 PM and I’m heading out in the morning but what a fine week we had here. I mentioned that we never take a 2 week beach trip but after last week’s enjoyable but hectic week we thought a few days here would be relaxing and just what we needed. The weather couldn’t have been better, really good on Monday and fabulous Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Each day got a little better with the gulf today being perfectly flat not even a whitecap. But it was so calm that today was the first day it seemed really hot because of the lack of a breeze. Luckily about 3 PM a cloud dropped a small amount of rain and cooled things off.
