Team Kamala Comes Out Against Child Tax Credits.
Media allies of presumptive Democratic Party presidential nominee Kamala Harris are attacking the Republican vice presidential nominee, Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH), over his support for the Child Tax Credit. In allegedly previously unheard remarks—in reality…
The Shitshow Macro Saturday, July 27, 2024, Weekly Wrapup is out (late, mea culpa included):
-The next On Statecraft and Religion post will likely be out this weekend
Domestic:
-The same DC DA and prosecutors who are still hunting down & arresting nonviolent J6 protestors have dropped all charges against pro-Hamas protestors who physically attacked DC Metro and US Park Police in DC this week.
-A raid in El Paso this week arrested both the head of the Sinaloa Cartel and the son of cartel kingpin Guzman.
--First, prepare for things to get spicy.
--Perhaps most importantly: why were these two in El Paso? How did they get across the border?
-Netanyahu flew to Mar-a-Lago to meet with Trump on Friday.
--Notably, the media has been going hard trying to paint the relationship between the two in a false light - they know the pro-Hamas wing of the Democrat base is a very bad look for them. Article in the show notes.
-A report by @MZHemingway in @TheFederalist this week is saying that Jack Smith’s anti-Trump deputy J.P. Cooney at DOJ has been excoriated for cultivating a politically toxic environment, disseminating baseless conspiracy theories, and engaging in unprofessional conduct.
--There are far too many allegations of gross politically motivated misconduct in this report to go through here, so I will share the article in the show notes and implore you to read it.
--I will add a personal thought that, in my opinion, we will not bring America back to sanity until those who can’t separate their jobs from politics need to be excised from the DOJ.
-A defamation case against Rachel Maddow, Chris Wallace, and Chris Hayes has been ruled as allowed to proceed in Georgia that alleges the MSNBC hosts made “verifiably false” statements on air when calling a doctor a “uterus collector.” Article in the show notes.
--I will add some personal anecdotal insights about these types of cases and the “sea change” from judges and juries in the Shitshow Macro podcast version.
War/Military:
-The bodies of 5 Israeli hostages were found by Shin Bet & IDF in a Gaza tunnel and returned home, as announced by the IDF spokesman on Thursday. Article in the show notes.
-The US Navy has settled lawsuits with vax mandate conscientious objectors and agreed to expunge their negative records. Article in the show notes.
At least 2 have been reported injured by rockets that struck Al Asad air base in Iraq, where US troops are housed.
-IDF smoked 2 more high-ranking Hezzies Friday morning in an air strike in Markaba.
-NORAD intercepted an unprecedented joint Chinese & Russian bomber patrol near Alaska. While it’s quite common for RUS MIL planes to encroach that airspace, it is extremely uncommon for Chinese ones, especially together.
-Myanmar rebels have captured a strategic MIL HQ from the ruling junta this week. Yes, there is still an active, ongoing civil war/rebellion in Myanmar that most don’t
-know about.
A private security team on a commercial vessel apparently smoked a Houthi USV with small arms fire in the Red Sea.
--I wonder why the chocolate cookie-eating and picture-posting USN captain didn’t try this during his time in the Red Sea.
-Israeli airstrikes hit the Yemen port of Hodeida on Monday. The port was engulfed for days, prompting Yemeni leaders to publicly call the Houthi attacks on Israel a mistake.
--Yup. FAFO. Israel and NATO are not the same in their response decision matrix.
-Israeli Druze were confirmed dead today after a missile hit a field of children playing soccer. Initial reports called it a Hezbollah (Hezzie) attack, but the Hezzie’s denied it.
--For your SA, the Druze are a secretive Essene-like sect whose religion embraces elements of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam into one. From my own personal vantage point, they seem to be the only organized (albeit very small) religion that fully embraces what it means to be an Abrahamic Faith.
