Rope, tree, federal judge: some assembly required

The formidable Julie Kelly rips the asswart Boasberg a new one, and it’s beautiful, man.

Jeb Boasberg, the chief judge of the D.C. District Court, sure has a knack for timing.

As the national conversation this week revolves around accusations the Trump administration is defying court orders by refusing to return an illegal El Salvadoran, er “Maryland father,” back to the U.S., Boasberg swooped in Wednesday afternoon with a lengthy opinion accusing the administration of “criminal contempt” for ignoring a set of orders he issued on March 15. (I first wrote about Boasberg’s contempt trap on March 19.)

In a series of hasty decisions that day, Boasberg, in another instance of fortuitous timing for foes of the Trump administration as I explained here, halted the deportation of illegal Venezuelans covered by the president’s Alien Enemies Act (AEA) proclamation, which Trump had been signed the night before. Boasberg issued two written temporary restraining orders—one prohibiting the deportation of five unnamed illegal Venezuelans represented in the lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union and another one turning the five plaintiffs into a class action suit protecting anyone in custody subject to the AEA.

Note the operative word in every one of these cases: illegal. As in, illegal aliens who entered this country illegally, remain here illegally except for those in prison as a consequence of their various illegal actions, thus have no right whatsoever to be here at all. “No human being is illegal,” eh shitlibs? Better ask John Wayne Gacy, DB Cooper, or Al Capone about that. Which, given the body counts racked up by a fair few of these immivaders, isn’t a particularly invidious comparison.

And during an emergency hearing held that Saturday evening, Boasberg also issued what he describes as an “oral command” at around 6:45 p.m. to return planes carrying the newly-designated class of illegals. “[Any] plane containing these folks that is going to take off or is in the air needs to be returned to the United States,” Boasberg told the Department of Justice attorney present at the hearing. “However that’s accomplished, whether turning around a plane or not embarking anyone on the plane or those people covered by this on the plane, I leave to you. But this is something that you need to make sure is complied with immediately.”

“Oral command.” Get a load of him.

The problem, as Boasberg appears to have known at that time, is that two planes carrying the AEA subjects had already departed and were out of U.S. territory. His “oral command” was impossible to obey or to enforce. (Complicating matters further is Boasberg did not include the “oral command” in his written order published about 40 minutes later.)

The alleged defiance of the two written orders—which were both vacated on April 7 by the Supreme Court after a majority concluded Boasberg’s courtroom was the wrong jurisdiction and the ACLU sought the wrong type of relief—and his “oral command” represent the basis of Boasberg’s contempt allegations. And Boasberg appears prepared to name a court-appointed attorney if the Trump DOJ refuses to bring charges against the yet-unidentified officials he accuses of contempt.

Trump damned well ought to treat this overreaching, officious prick with contempt; he’s about as contemptible as they come. Which, these days, is saying a helluva lot.

Boasberg’s 46-page opinion reads more like a petulant grudge against people who refused to bow to his sense of superiority rather than a cautious, reasoned judgement during a fraught time of conflict between the judiciary and executive branches of government.

Got that right, Jules. Worst part is, as we have seen again and again by now, there are all too many judges just like him out there. All of whom need to be brought up short, told to know their role and shut their hole. If that must come down to handing down a few long-distance, .308 caliber impeachments—well hey, I’m good with it, whatever it takes.

As I always like to say about power-drunk Progtards of every stripe, judges and non-judges alike: they won’t stop. They will NEVER stop. They will have to BE stopped. Yesterday wouldn’t be too soon to suit me. And one Donald John Trump might be just the guy to do it, I’m thinking.

Wait, whut?

Fart rape? Now we’re all supposed to be all concerned and het up about FART RAPE, of all the cockamamie…?

Sorry ladies, y’all are gonna have to peddle that crapola someplace else. Ain’t no market for it over here, I’m afraid.

Y’know, time was you’d see some absurdity like this and could safely assume it was the work of a random prankster having a laugh at the opposition’s expense. Nowadays, though, the Left has gone so completely bugfuck nuts you can’t do that anymore. Sad, right?

‘Turns People Off’: James Carville Suggests It’s Time For Far-Left Dems To Show Themselves The Door
Democratic strategist James Carville suggested in a Tuesday video that far-left individuals should formally break away from the Democratic Party.

Among Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents, 45% would prefer the Democratic Party become “more moderate,” according to Gallup polling published in February. Carville, in a Politicon video, argued that far-left elements are hurting the party’s appeal and proposed “a schism” as a possible solution.

“The only thing I’d ask is just don’t use the word ‘Democratic’ in any title that you have, because most Democrats that I know that are running for office don’t want your name, don’t want you to be part of the deal,” Carville said. “Yeah, sure, they would be glad to take your votes. Who wouldn’t? Everybody wants to get as many votes as they can. Maybe you come up with your own name.”

Sorry to have to remind you, James ol’ buddy ol’ pal, but the stubborn fact is that 45% is NOT a majority—not even close, really—and I strongly suspect that this minority dwindles further each and every day. Maybe it’s actually YOU who needs to consider ditching your misbegotten criminal organization masquerading as a political party and try something new.

Shocker: DOG BITES MAN!!!

New Details Emerge About the Arsonist Who Attacked Pennsylvania Gov. Shapiro
So when Pennsylvania’s governor’s mansion was torched on the first night of Passover, only an ostrich spelunking in sand would discount antisemitism. The connection was just too freaking obvious!

Reality, alas, has a sneaky way of upsetting false narratives.

Earlier this morning, the story broke: “Pa. Gov. Shapiro was targeted for ‘what he wants to do to Palestinian people’”:

The suspect in the arson attack at the Governor’s Residence targeted Josh Shapiro due to his perceived stance on Palestine, according to a search warrant obtained by PennLive.

The suspect, Cody Balmer, called 911 following the attack early Sunday, identified himself by name and told operators Shapiro needs to know he “…will not take part in his plans for what he wants to do to the Palestinian people,” the search warrant written by police said.

Balmer continued, saying he needed to “stop having my friends killed” and that “…our people have been put through too much by that monster,” according to the warrant, which says Balmer’s intonation and cadence sounded like he was possibly reading from a script.

And who is the man who attacked the governor? Here’s another headline: “Accused Shapiro Attacker Is Self-Described “Socialist,” Fits Pattern of Political Violence”:

Balmer has a troubled past, and his social media history suggests he considers himself both an anarchist and a registered Socialist. His criminal record includes past charges of simple assault and forgery. In one bizarre post, he depicts himself wearing goggles, breathing fire and claiming that former President Joe Biden owes him $2,000.

According to his mother, Balmer suffers from schizophrenia and bipolar disorder and had stopped taking his medications prior to his attack on the Shapiro residence.

So that’s the real story: An unstable wackaloon was radicalized by the anti-Israel, pro-Hamas propaganda that the left proudly promotes, went off his meds, and tried to murder a prominent Jewish politician.

A rabid, violence-drunk, “Palestine” obsessed, Leftard Jew-hater—gee, didn’t see THAT coming.

Look, you can hate on (((***DemJooJooJooJOOOOZ!!!***))) all you like for all me; I’ve made my own position clear, it’s no skin off my nose one way or the other. But when you start heaving homemade Molotovs at people’s homes, trashing people’s expensive autos, threatening students/taking over college campuses, and vandalizing/burning legitimate businesses which have nothing whatever to do with said obsession, then you put yourself on the fightin’ side of me, bub.

In Amerika v2.0, it’s the same old same old

WELL, that certainly didn’t take long.

The ‘Victim’ Saga of Karmelo Anthony Gets Better As Details Emerge About the ‘Minister’ Backing Him
Earlier this month, I reported the story of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf. Metcalf, a star standout football player in Texas, was attending a track meet that involved several area high schools competing. When 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony, a student from another school, came to sit in the area reserved for Metcalf’s school, Metcalf told him he was sitting in the wrong place. Anthony reached into a bag he was carrying and threatened Metcalf. Metcalf then pushed him to get him to leave. That was when Anthony pulled a knife out of the bag and fatally stabbed Metcalf. But now, as the story is being spun to portray Anthony as the victim, new information is coming out about one of his most ardent backers.

That supporter is Dominique Alexander. He is a self-proclaimed “minister” and activist. But for a supposed man of the cloth, he has a pretty sketchy and violent past that may throw a wrench into the “Anthony as the victim” narrative. The first incident involving Alexander took place in 2009 when he was arrested for causing serious bodily injury to a two-year-old child. He admitted to shaking the child but claimed the injuries were accidental. For that offense, he faced first-degree felony charges, but through a series of plea deals and probation, he did not serve any jail time.

Fuck Anthony, fuck Alexander, and fuck any and every other dad-blamed idjit who dares to claim “victim” status for this murdering nigger thug.

But when the race industry grifters smell an opportunity, you had better get out of the way. Almost immediately after the story came out, it took a sadly predictable turn. Supporters of Karmelo Anthony emerged, insisting that he was the true victim and there was even a wild story about how Austin Metcalf had bullied Anthony, who then acted in self-defense. 

Also maybe more than a bit predictable in a post-Black Lives Matter culture are not only the pictures of Karmelo Anthony in a suit and tie, putting a clean-cut face on the “victim” narrative, but also what the Anthony family did with the roughly $400,000 that has been raised on a GiveSendGo fundraiser page, presumably for “legal fees.” My colleague Bonchie reported that those fees were, in fact, not used for legal fees, but instead, the family has moved into a $900,000 home in a gated community. The next logical question has to be, does the good “Pastor” Alexander smell a big payday as the donations mount up?

Of COURSE he does. He’ll probably get himself a nice taste too, although maybe not as nice a one as he’d wish. Which reminds me of one I left out earlier: FUCK each and every dumbfuck, White or Black, who kicked in on this appalling, grotesque fundraiser.

So let’s review, shall we? 1) Worthless nigger shanks decent White kid with no real provocation, primarily due to the oft-seen, reliably deadly combination in Amerikan Neegrows of a) piss-poor impulse control, and b) innate tendencies to violence and/or mayhem; 2) Decent White Kid dies from injuries inflicted publicly, before numerous witnesses, for no good reason; 3) Mouthbreathing morons stampede to hit the Give Send Go fundie, leaving WN richer than his most avaricious dreams could’ve ever imagined; 3) Dr Right Reverend Minister Dom’i’niq’ue Sh’Kwanzelle Alexander smells what’s cooking, elbows his way in for a big ol’ slice of dat cash-money pie; 4) Kamelo “T-bone” Ant’ny and fam “move on up,” a la George and Weezy, to “a dee-luxe apaaahkmint” in a gated community, live happily ever after; 5) Austin Metcalf remains dead, and unavenged.

Ugh. Totally, totally sickening, that’s what. Then again, this is one sick, sick society we live in today; even a cursory look at the details of this story tells ya that much.

Memezapoppin’!

Welcome to this week’s installment of our Wednesday meme feature, folks. Links to the “found via” sources will be attached to the specific MiQ’s (Memes in Question) whenever I can remember them, which likely won’t be very often. Only the first two memes will appear above the fold to save on bandwidth usage, since I assume not everybody who shows up at this here websty will want to see all of them. This intro will appear at the top of each week’s Memezapoppin’! post. Enjoy, funny-pitcher lovers.

It’s…it’s…it’s…YELLOW!

Yellow Blaze Metallic, to be precise—a custom-order Ford color available only, best I can determine, for like one (1) model year. That’s the color sported by my pride and joy, my li’l baby doll: my precious 2012 Ford Focus SEL, which jewel o’ my heart has been sitting dead as the nails in Vincent Price’s coffin at my lifelong friend and musical partner in crime Brack’s place since its timing chain shit the bed a few years back. As of yesterday morning, thanks to Brack’s brother Stan, my poor neglected baby has come home at last.

FocusBackHome 1.

Don’t she look purty, even after sitting all forlorn out in the weather, dust, and pollen for 4-5 years? Lots to do yet to atone for my heartless abandonment of her, which project I will be certainly be getting started on right away, me and whatever friends I can get down here to lend a hand. But, to paraphrase Scarlett O’Hara, as God is my witness, she’ll never be lonely again!!

Apart from the occasional Focus update, expect blogging to suffer accordingly, natch.

D-Purp RAWKS!

For some bizarre reason, Doof elected to embed the milder, tamer studio version of Deep Purple’s crowning achievement, “Highway Star.” This inexplicable lapse has forced my hand; there’s nothing else for it but to showcase the best-EVAR version, from the greatest live album in rock ’n’ roll history: the incomparable, nigh-flawless Made In Japan.

I find this video double-plus awesome because the guy had gumption enoughl to take a stab at syncing up the Made In Japan audio track with video footage from the Live In Copenhagen DVD, which he did a bang-up job of too, IMHO. Regarding the Made In Japan album, what’s there to say? It still brings classic 70s hard-rock aficionados nearly to tears of joy with every successive listen. No overdubs whatsoever; recorded on a half-assed, el cheapo recording/mixing lashup (8 track? Dude, SRSLY?); an apathetic, indifferent attitude towards the project from the band members—who could possibly expect anything remotely good to come of this incipient disaster?

Then the album dropped, and a waiting world hardly even knew what hit it. Check it:

The band had mixed feelings about the album. Gillan was critical of his own performance, yet impressed with the quality of the recording, while Lord listed it as his favourite Deep Purple album, saying, “The band was at the height of its powers. That album was the epitome of what we stood for in those days.” “It’s still probably the best live rock ‘n’ roll album ever made,” declared Paice, who suggested that the shows were some of the group’s best. “And that’s putting everything Led Zeppelin have done, anything Black Sabbath may have done, Bad Company, Free… As a tour de force of innovation and living on the edge and great playing with a fantastic sound, nothing comes close.”

The response from critics was favourable. Rolling Stone’s Jon Tiven wrote that “Made in Japan is Purple’s definitive metal monster, a spark-filled execution … Deep Purple can still cut the mustard in concert”. Subsequently, a 2012 readers’ poll in the magazine declared the album to be the sixth best live album of all time, adding the band have performed “countless shows since in countless permutations, but they’ve never sounded quite this perfect.”

Recent reviews have been equally positive. AllMusic’s William Ruhlmann considered the album to be “a definitive treatment of the band’s catalog and its most impressive album”. Rock author Daniel Bukszpan claimed the album is “widely acknowledged as one of the greatest live albums of all time”. Goldmine magazine said the album “defined Deep Purple even as it redefined the concept of the live album.” Deep Purple author Dave Thompson wrote “the standing of Deep Purple’s first (and finest) live album had scarcely diminished in the quarter-century since its release”.

Myself, I bought …Japan at my uncle’s drugstore in 1974, when I was all of 14 years old. I loved it then, I still love it now, and across all the intervening decades (!) have neither stopped playing it nor gotten tired of hearing it. Drop the needle anywhere you like, you won’t be disappointed; there’s not a dud song or performance to be found. Incredibly, the allocated recording budget for D-Purp’s magnum opus was a measly $3,000, which trifling sum translated to £49,995 as of 2023.

As time rolled ever on, a major label would blandly shell out a few hundred G’s just to have an upper-tier band hump their gear into the tracking room without so much as batting an eyelash. Now, with the lightning-fast proliferation of PCs, digital recording, and affordable home-studio equipment, the music-biz landscape has undergone yet another radical shift.

As for Made In Japan, all in all it’s pretty dang impressive for an album that still enjoys brisk sales today, as it has throughout the 50-plus years since its initial release. Looked at from that angle, “impressive” doesn’t even BEGUN to cover it, wouldn’tcha say?

Muzzietown, TX: threat, or menace?

The slow, steady takeover everybody swore “could never happen here” continues apace. Thankfully, Greg Abbott seems committed to thwarting it.

Jihad, Texas Style
The Lone Star State braces for a new “Muslim community.”

It’s happened all over Western Europe. In Amsterdam, several neighborhoods, including the Oud-West, De Pijp, and De Baarsjes, are now heavily Muslim. So are Molenbeek, a Brussels suburb, and Gruddalen, the vast valley that forms much of the eastern half of Oslo. Four out of ten people in Tower Hamlets, London, are Muslims, as is nearly thirty-five percent of the population of Luton. Several of the banlieues, or suburbs, of Paris are no-go zones; Marseille is about one-third Islam. The Rinkeby district of Stockholm is heavily Muslim, as are parts of Malmö, not to mention the Nørrebro neighborhood of Copenhagen.

Yes, there are non-Muslim residents in these neighborhoods, but their numbers are steadily dwindling. They live in an ever-intensifying state of siege. It’s dangerous for them to come home at night. At school, their sons are beaten up and their daughters are sexually harassed. Every day, they’re reminded who’s in charge, and it’s definitely not them. More than many other people in Europe, they can see the continent’s future very clearly. Needless to say, it’s an Islamic future.

Which, obviously, is the reason those non-Moslem (former) residents’ numbers are “steadily dwindling.” Unfortunately, this ain’t the kind of problem from which one can just run away forever. Regardless of how fast, how far, or how long you run, the menacing Moslem hordes will catch up with you ere the end. The lesson here is stark, and likewise altogether obvious. Too bad, then, that most of Western Civ is so mulishly determined to ignore it. Such wilfull obliviousness will cost the West dearly at some point, probably sooner than later, and paying up is going to hurt.

Which is why we should all be worried about EPIC City, Texas. I’d never heard of it until just a few weeks ago. Since then, I’ve heard about it again and again. Maybe the word hasn’t gotten to you yet. If not, here you go. EPIC City, according to an April 3 report by Caroline Vandergriff of CBS News, is a proposed “Muslim community” that is a project of the East Plano Islamic Center (hence the name EPIC) in partnership with a real-estate firm called Community Capital Partners. The plan is to construct “a thousand homes, a mosque, apartments, a school and more” on 402 acres in Collin and Hunt counties near the town of Josephine, about an hour northeast of Dallas.

Since the initiative was announced last year, the leaders of the Islamic Center have hired Dan Cogdell, a leading Houston lawyer, “to help them navigate multiple state investigations” that were ordered by Governor Greg Abbott. In reaction to Abbott’s criticism of the EPIC City venture, Cogdell told Vandergraff that his clients “aren’t foreign adversaries” but “Texans.” “Americans.” “United States citizens.” And their only goal, he contended, “is to build a community that allows them to live together with people who value family and faith.”

Yes, that’s what they want to do – but it’s not all that they want to do. They want to do Molenbeek and Tower Hamlets and Groruddalen one better. They want the total Muslim experience: no kafirun (infidels) with their uncovered wives and daughters and haram puppy dogs. If you wanted to defend EPIC City, you might point to the way in which the Amish settled Lancaster, Pennsylvania, or the Mormons’ establishment of Utah. But neither the Amish nor the Mormons have a doctrine of jihadist conquest. They aren’t instructed to despise non-believers or throw homosexuals from rooftops. Their sexual politics may be old-fashioned, but they’re light-years more advanced than Islam’s.

At least one Texan realizes this. In addition to ordering investigations into the shadowy characters involved in the EPIC City venture, Abbott has demanded a construction halt, but has been ignored. Dismissing Abbott’s expressed concern about the possible imposition of sharia law in EPIC City, Cogdell told Vandergraff: “No one associated with that community follows sharia law or is in favor of sharia law.” Nonsense. One survey of Western Muslims after another has shown that an unsettling majority of them want to live under sharia law – and expect to be living under it before too long. The goal of broadening the ambit of sharia law, after all, is a major reason why millions of Muslims moved from their native lands to the West in the first place. It’s called expanding the umma. It’s called turning the Dar al Harb (House of War) into the Dar as Islam (House of Islam), one block at a time. And lying about it to infidels is called taqiyya.

Which last, according to the Koran (yes, I HAVE read it; more than once, actually), is not only pardonable but strongly, explicitly recommended. In fact, in practical terms it’s obligatory, a directive issued from the very mouth of Allah His Own Bad Self—never to be contradicted, never to be questioned, only to be reflexively, mindlessly obeyed, just as the Religion of Peace Submission demands of the pig-ignorant 10th-century throwbacks who hew to it.

Which just goes to show how much even rural Texans need to learn about Islam. Well, if the EPIC City initiative isn’t stopped in its tracks, they’ll be learning a great deal about it soon enough.

They most certainly will at that—more than they ever wanted to, to their everlasting sorrow and regret. You’d think they’d know better by now—you’d think we ALL would. And yet.

All this après-9/11/01 stuff and nonsense, mind, deep in the heart of the once-great Republic ofTEXAS, of all unlikely places? The sovereign State a great many of us ReichWingNaziDeathBeast types looked to as our last-ditch refuge when the fecal matter finally impacts the rotary impeller everyplace else? Jeez O PETE, man! That just might be the toughest, most bitter-tasting aspect of this ginormous shit-circus to wrap one’s head around.

For so long, so many of us have found it comforting to think of good ol’ Texizz as the last bastion of traditional American sanity, civic mores, and freedom—that, despite the slow, sinister purpling of major Texas cities like Dallas, Austin, Houston, and others, Real American Normals would always have Texas, come Hell or high water. Wouldn’t we? Of COURSE we would! Why, some of us even went so far as to buy great big ol’ belt buckles, Stetson hats, and uncomfortable, exorbitantly expensive cockroach-stomper boots to ready ourselves for the frabjous day we’d at last make that Last Big Move South’ards.

And then some shit like this happens.

Read the whole thing, I implore you. It’s about as disquieting a piece as I ever have seen, anyplace, at any time, on any topic. Uncomfortable reading though it surely is, it tells us that it is now imperative that the last remaining illusions be shattered, that the last remaining veils be lifted from the eyes which stubbornly refuse to look upon the situation as it really, truly exists: clearly, unblinkingly, honestly. If nothing else, we owe that much (at least!) to ourselves, to our Founding Fathers, to our posterity.

As for this sellout asshole Cogdell and his fellow slimery, slithery creatures who support this mind-boggling obscenity, every man Jack of them ought to be summarily strung up for high treason. Unless somebody out there comes up with something even worse to do to his/their sorry ass(es) in the interim, that is. I’m thinking something agonizing; permanently scarring both mentally and bodily; life-altering in the most negative way imaginable; profoundly, unforgettably humiliating; and, eventually—after interminable years of suffering so wrackingly intense that very few Normals who’ve never had to cope with…

  • A thunderous, all-day artillery barrage—no pause, no let-up, no lunch break, just honkin’ big shells that continuously droppeth as the gentle rain from Heaven
  • A deep-jungle ambush set by a dedicated, skilled enemy which hopelessly, lopsidedly outnumbers him
  • A furiously chaotic company-level engagement at eyeball-to-eyeball range
  • Having a ship torpedoed, holed, and sunk out from under his very feet in a North Atlantic January
  • Saturation bombing from extreme-high altitude
  • Sniper fire from multiple positions, all undeterminable
  • Stomach cancer
  • Anaesthetic-free amateur dentistry

…could believe it was even possible—fatal.

Update! Apropos of nothing much a-tall, I just had to note that weird spelling, kafirun, from the excerpt. In all my many years of studying up on Mooselimbs and the Islamic pseudo-religion—beginning way back in college with two (2) semesters of Comparative Religion I took for no better reason than A) I found the subject interesting and B) I was a huge fan of the professor, who was an affable nut—I never did run across that one before. The more familiar-to-me rendition is kuffir, or khufir, or something else along roughly similar lines. Translation can often be a tricky thing, particularly from Arabic languages (as with Chinese, Greek, and Cyrillic, it’s a whole ’nother alphabet entirely, not even slightly congruent with English) but this’s a new one on me for sure.

Mal’s Soliloquy

Brilliant speech, from a truly brilliant movie.

 

Transcription of the critical passage.

This report is maybe 12 years old. Parliament buried it, and it stayed buried ’til River dug it up.

This is what they feared she knew. And they were right to fear ’cause there’s a whole universe of folk who’re gonna know it, too. They’re gonna see it.

Somebody has to speak for these people.

Y’all got on this boat for different reasons, but y’all come to the same place. So now I’m askin’ more of you than I have before. Maybe all.

As sure as I know anything, I know this: They will try again. Maybe on another world. Maybe on this very ground swept clean. A year from now, 10, they’ll swing back to the belief that they can make people…better. And I do not hold to that.

So no more runnin’.

I aim to misbehave.

Scariest, most disturbing bit in bold (mine, natch), which sounds altogether too familiar nowadays. Then again, the entire thing does, when you think about it. It isn’t prophetic or foresighted so much as it is simply observational—a tidy, concise summation of the liberal mindset, that’s all. Even scarier yet? The Firefly/Serenity saga is set in the early 26th century. Guess with shitlibs, certain things really ARE eternal, and/or immutable.

Firefly; Serenity; CAPT Malcolm Reynolds; the rest of the intrepid Firefly crew; the marvelously quirky, ear-catching dialogue (always struck me as pretty dang cool, how the Mother Tongue changed and evolved betwixt now and 2516; my first round of watching the TV show on DVD, I found myself needing to pay closer-than-usual attention when the characters were speaking or it would get by me altogether); the freewheeling philosophy of uncompromising liberty, independence, and individual self-determination which underpins the whole kit and kaboodle—all born of the creative genius, febrile mind, and artistic vision of Joss Whedon. The show and the movie both are bona fide gems: a stunning achievement of writing, casting, acting, SFX, and staging that would do even the most high-minded, talented dramatist proud indeed.

So can someone explain to me, then, just how it is that Whedon is nevertheless such a dyed in the wool, conventional-thinking liberal, please? Because quite frankly, I’m having big, big trouble getting that math to add up. I gotta confess I’ve always stunk out loud at math, so could be it’s just me, I dunno.

In any event, I mean, seriously now, you guys: the passage in bold above, and the standard-issue, Mark 1-Mod 0 Left/liberal flapdoodle approvingly, even mawkishly, cited at the above-linked Mother Jones (*shudder*) article/interview/fellatio-rama—all coming out of the SAME FUCKING MOUTH? RILLY?!?

I just don’t get it. Not all that sure I want to, to be perfectly honest. Greatly to his credit and in marked contrast with the dismal example set by his peers, Whedon doesn’t for a single second allow his mundane, wet-brained political beliefs to impinge on the Firefly and Serenity viewing experience. One can kick back, relax, and immerse oneself completely in the thrills, chills, and pleasures of the Firefly universe without ever once having to dread that you’re gonna be preached to at some point.

This, even though the character of preacherman Shepherd Book provides Whedon with what might easily be considered a purpose-built opportunity to ascend the pulpit and start in sermonizing. But no, nothing of the sort. Book spends most of his onscreen time questioning himself and his own wobble-legged faith rather than hectoring others about their own, although he does offer spiritual and/or moral advice to anyone who ask for such—carefully, thoughtfully, without passing judgment or scorning the foibles of his shipmates. Humble, questing, open-hearted, warm, a people-person if ever there was one—I always felt that Shepherd Book was one of the most appealing, engaging, and intriguing characters in a cast absolutely chock-full of ‘em.

So hats off to Joss Whedon for leashing the near-universal liberal bent towards proselytizing, if nothing else. As a professed congregant of the Left/liberal/Progressivist flock with a worldwide audience that’s bigger than most, rejecting such a powerful temptation must have been almost physically painful.

Good Advice, Easy Advice

As some of you know and the rest of you are about to learn, I have a daughter who’s getting near adulthood. Nominal adulthood. Alleged adulthood. Something like that.

One issue that comes up with almost-adults as they near the end of mandated schooling is, What next? For most middle-class Americans, the obvious, why-are-you-even-asking answer is college.

I’ve told my daughter, like her brothers before her, that if she goes into engineering, premed, accounting, or some other field where the expected salary is worth the cost (not only tuition but four years spent not working), I’d help pay for it. If she wants to study Medieval French Literature or Dance Therapy or Sociology, you’re on your own, kid.

The boys went into engineering school. The daughter had been firmly set on that path, too, but has been having second thoughts. She gives a variety of reasons but I think it comes down to not being excited by it. OK, that’s fine. There are other options. She was thinking about a general STEM-oriented freshman year and then deciding, which makes good sense. We started putting together plans.

Enter Heaven. That’s stage direction for a young woman, not a suggestion to die and go to the afterlife. And Heaven isn’t her real name, but it’s thematically similar. I’m not blaming her for her name, just as I wouldn’t blame Starlit Waterfall a couple generations earlier. It’s her parents’ doing, not hers. But her name does suggest a few things about her parents’ values and her upbringing, beyond being a woman born in 2000s America.

She’s six or so years older than my daughter, in grad school. She and my daughter have been talking about many things, from care of aquatic frogs to careers. And there’s the problem.

Heaven’s studying psychology or sociology or something similar. While such degrees can lead to decent-paying jobs, that’s not the way to bet, not until you’ve been doing it long enough that you can open your own practice. I’ll dig up some employment statistics and income projections if I remember once I’m back online. (Let’s face it, I won’t remember. I’m very tired and very busy. Wouldn’t be writing this if I weren’t stuck sitting and waiting, with no connectivity.)

Heaven is encouraging my daughter to follow her dream and things will work out and the money will take care of itself. Because, you know, that’s how it works.

The daughter’s dream right now is getting into game design. Maybe as a social psychologist (Maybe? I think that’s what she said the job was called.) working on the psychological cues that go into computer games. Maybe as a programmer. Maybe as a graphic designer. There’s lots of choices!

Should she look into what’s involved in working for a gaming company, like hours worked and expected salaries and job security and market trends? Nah! Talk to her best friend’s father, who works in the biz? Nah! Sit down and start designing a game yourself? Nah! Apply for a position as an intern at the local game development company? Nah! Just sign up for the college classes. It’ll work itself out!

Another dismissed idea is taking a gap year and working, whether to test a career field or two or simply to earn money and get a feel for adult life. She likes welding, so why not practice and hone her skills and then apprentice for a year to see if she likes working as a welder? And another dismissed idea is getting married and starting a family and doing some kind of work-from-home while raising the kids. (Rejected out of hand. I’m never going to have grandchildren at this rate, heh.)

You might deduce from my subtle phrasing choices that I’m not thrilled about Heaven’s advice. You might also deduce that I’m not thrilled that my daughter is listening to someone who tells her what she wants to hear rather than what may actually help her.

I’m not claiming to be the one source of Truth. I’m not saying that my suggestions are the only ones that will lead her to happiness and success, however defined. I am saying that you should look carefully at costs and benefits before signing up for a hundred thousand in non-dischargeable student loans. Especially when the dream you’re following is likely to change within the year, let alone before it starts paying off.

I’m also not claiming that economic utility is the only value of a college education. I am saying that a college education which will not pay off economically is a luxury, to be purchased with spare wealth. It is certainly not to be borrowed for.

I’m not even claiming that psychology and sociology degrees are worthless. 90% worthless, maybe, but not totally. But again, they are luxuries, to be purchased when your future is assured and you have time and money to put into them.

But the easy advice, the advice to do what you want to do (at the moment) and to avoid the hard work and the hard decisions, that advice is just so much more tempting!

Rethinking Memorials

We do funeral services wrong.

After some guy dies, a series of people get up and talk about how wonderful he was. He doesn’t get any benefit from hearing how great everyone thought he was and they all feel bad about having lost such a great guy.

A better way to do it is to have an appreciation ceremony while the guy is still alive. Get his friends and neighbors and family and civic group together and talk about how much he means to all of them. Things will be said that wouldn’t normally be, tears will be shed, and everyone will get on with their lives.

Then, when the guy dies, have a different kind of memorial. “He only knew three jokes and he couldn’t be stopped from telling them every time he was in a group.” “Just never let him eat cabbage. Lord have mercy, he could pollute the whole room.” “He was a good father but that man could not keep it in his pants. I swear, half the time we were married I wanted to castrate him.” “Sumbitch never did pay me back that thousand dollars he borrowed.”

Put the memorial together like that and his friends and neighbors and family and civic groups will remember why they’re glad he’s gone. To put the cherry on top, instead of a church choir singing Amazing Grace, have a kazoo soloist lead the congregation in the macarena.

(Yes, I’m aware that for decades some churches have conducted pre-memorial get-togethers for their elderly or sickly congregants. Good idea. They did one for my late father-in-law, not long before he was housebound with untreatable cancer. Brought him to tears.)

Another day, another violent-Left assassitard

It seems the Leftist mind-virus is spreading out of control.

Another Trump Assassination Plot Foiled, but There’s a Bizarre Twist to This One
The left has become so consumed by its hatred of Donald Trump that it no longer seems capable of distinguishing right from wrong.

What, you think they ever were?

As chilling as this is, on Friday, we found out just how real the problem is. A man has been charged with making threats to assassinate President Trump, other U.S. officials, and ICE agents.

And where did they find this latest unhinged character? Butler, Pa., of all places. That’s right, the same town where the first assassination attempt on Trump took place.

Shawn Monper, a 32-year-old Butler resident who went by the charming username “Mr Satan” online, spent months posting explicit threats and detailing his preparations for violence.

Obviously not content with just threatening the president, Monper also set his sights on law enforcement.

“ICE are terrorist people, we need to start killing them,” he posted in March, followed by threats to open fire on ICE agents.

Attorney General Pamela Bondi praised law enforcement’s swift action, stating, “I want to applaud the outstanding and courageous investigative work of the FBI and the Butler Township Police Department, who thankfully identified and apprehended this individual before he could carry out his threats against President Trump’s life and the lives of other innocent Americans.”

Monper is currently being held without bail as he awaits preliminary hearings on April 14. Considering the gravity of his threats and the clear signs of premeditation, the justice system needs to send a strong message here: Political violence has no place in this country.

Au contraire, mon frère. Assuming that ever was so (HINT: it wasn’t), it certainly ain’t now. The hateful, insane Left elbowed out a place for political violence here a goodish while back, and they’ve been expanding and reinforcing it ever since.

As for the ironic “coincidence” of this whacko being in Butler, the FBI has probably set up a secluded, top-secret training camp for Trump-killers somewhere in the area by now, complete with barracks; a long-distance shooting range; leisure/entertainment center; mess tent; a medical facility staffed by “corpsemen” experienced in treating combat injuries—basically, everything the aspiring assassin needs to hone his skills to a razor-sharp edge.

Intolerable, immoral, unacceptable

But will Coloradan patriots (if any) accept it anyway?

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis Signs Insanely Unconstitutional Gun Control Law With Huge National Implications
If you care about preserving the Second Amendment, what just happened in Colorado needs to be on your radar.

On Thursday, Gov. Jared Polis signed a law that bans the production and most sales of semi-automatic firearms with detachable magazines. That means the gun control measure not only covers semi-automatic rifles like the AR-15 (which would be bad enough on its own) but also makes essentially all modern-day handguns illegal as well.

To say this is blatantly unconstitutional is an understatement. The Supreme Court ruled in District of Columbia vs. Heller that firearms in common use are protected under the Second Amendment for “traditionally lawful purposes.” That includes self-defense. Semi-automatic handguns and rifles with detachable magazines are the most commonly used guns in the United States. It’s not even a question that this gun control law runs afoul of Supreme Court precedent. That means that Polis signed something that he has to know is illegal, making this move all the more insidious.

The stakes here could not be higher. If Colorado gets away with this, you can kiss the Second Amendment goodbye. If a state gets away with largely banning semi-automatic handguns, it can get away with banning any type of firearm. This is the most radical gun control legislation to ever be signed, and it must be fiercely opposed.

Up to and including by violence, if needs must. And sooner or later, they will.

I understand there’s a lot going on in the political world right now, but this is that important. Gun advocate groups need to be filing challenges immediately, and this must get to the Supreme Court if the lower courts do not strike this law down. If that doesn’t happen, every single Democrat-led state in the union will pass similar laws, and with a lack of reciprocity, half the country will essentially be a no-go zone for modern guns. It won’t stop there, either. Gun control activists will not be happy until all firearms are banned.

Yeh, yeh, yeh—lawsuits, courts, peaceful protest, handwringing op-eds, blah blah blah.  Worth a try, of course; as every decent, well-meaning sort concedes, all peaceable expedients must be exhausted before turning to that final desperate resort: the Cartridge Box. At the end of the day, though, it’s yet another shovelful of the same old shite, nothing more.

Normals should think of this as the Left’s warning shot across the Constitutional bow, because that is precisely what it amounts to. The tyrant Polis knows this perfectly well, of course—count on it. Look for a flood of deceitfully-misnomered gun “buyback” programs (how can they “buy back” something they never bought in the first damned place?) to immediately ensue.

Look for the overwhelming majority of city and state po-lice to eagerly enforce the Gov Jared Polis Unlawful Edict™, with the possible exception of a handful of county Sheriiffs, or constables, or whatever they call ‘em out in the Boulder State. Look for the Colorado National Guard to be stood up to provide “emergency” backup for their Brothers In Blue. Look for the majority of said CO Guardsmen to forsake their freely-sworn oath to “protect, defend and uphold” and obey their unlawful orders, too.

The thing to keep (and bear—heh) foremost in mind here is that the last above-excerpted sentence is wholly true and accurate, which Real Americans have understood full well for several decades now in spite of the hoplophobic Left’s disingenuous “I’m a hunter myself” refrain. The one remaining question confronting us grows more pressing, more urgent, with every passing day: What, if anything, are we going to do about it?

As Ben Grimm always says before getting down to serious bidness as The Thing, IT’S CLOBBERIN’ TIME!

Cry, baby, cry

Your feel-good story of the week month year decade.

Man Who Allegedly Threatened ICE Agents Just Moved Into the ‘Find Out’ Part of the Story
Robert King, 35, was arrested on April 2 for allegedly making threats against ICE agents.

According to the complaint, King said that if he saw ICE agents in his neighborhood he would be “opening fire,” calling them a “secret police force with no real legal authority” and threatening, “Kill them.” He then allegedly went further, “Just wanna double down on what I said the other day: if ICE comes to your neighborhood, f—— shoot them and kill them. No mercy for the Gestapo.”

But he’s in that “find out” stage, now that he’s facing justice.

Last week, King was charged with transmitting interstate threats in federal court. Then on Wednesday, he was ordered held in detention by a judge in Dallas. Judge Renee Toliver decided he was a “flight risk and a risk to the community.”

As our sister site Twitchy reported, Fox’s Bill Melugin said King left the courtroom crying. 

The Texas man who allegedly threatened to shoot & kill ICE agents & urged his followers to do the same left a federal courtroom crying today after he was ordered held in detention, with the magistrate determining he is a threat and a flight risk, according to our @FoxNews team in the room.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. You gotta love it when folks find out that bad actions might just have bad results. Gee, I wonder who called in the tip on him? But it shows that the FBI now too is paying attention to such tips. I’m thinking Mr. King is not feeling so tough anymore. Being a keyboard warrior and spewing nonsense on the internet is a little different when it comes back to bite you.

It’s easy in the “fool around” time, but the “find out” will come for them, and they’re not going to enjoy it.

We can but hope. According to the article, Crybaby King now faces “up to five years in prison” for his crimes, which to my way of thinking ain’t NEARLY enough. Lock him up, throw away the key, let him enjoy getting butt-raped in the prison showers for the rest of his natural born life—now that’s what I’d call Justice being served up piping hot to this Insane Left creep.

Lest anybody be kidding him- or herself, there are millions upon millions more just like him out there. Robert King is not some fringe character, a tiny minority lurking within the more-reasonable majority, whose daylight barking madness can be blithely dismissed as no big deal, really. The threats puked forth by King and his abominable ilk are not “just jokes,” nor are they intended as hyperbole, overstatement, or exaggeration for effect. Not by a long yard. They are real; they are serious; they should be taken literally, word for word.

Baglappers such as King call ICE “the Gestapo” not to provoke, shock, or offend, but because it’s what they deeply, sincerely believe. It’s all of a piece with calling Trump and/or Elon “literally Hitler,” see. In so doing, such crackpots transmogrify murdering those (re)incarnate Nazis from just another random, empty threat into the solemn obligation of every decent, caring hooman bean. As a bonus, this warped thinking also promotes King and his type from bargain-basement bugmen who, for the benefit of society at large, of right ought to be thrown into Chokey or the booby-hatch for the duration into insightful, courageous, selfless heroes whose chief concern is not with the intricacies of their own delusions but protecting their less-perceptive fellow men from a deadly, ravenous Evil bent on preying upon them all.

A lone nutjob, an anomaly, a way-out looney-tooney crank? Not on your life, pal; the D卐M☭CRAT Party, the blighted urban hellscapes, academia, practically all other shitlib-overrun institutions and enclaves are brimming o’er with Robert Kings. Make no mistake, folks: this weepy cunt is NOT the exception, he is the rule. As is often (and accurately) said of Moslems, so it is with these violent, implacable Leftards: Radical Leftists want to kill you. “Moderate” Leftists want the radical Leftists to kill you. Very simple, very easy—that’s really all there is to it. Disport yourselves accordingly, then. Which is to say: keep your powder dry, your magazines loaded, your head on a swivel, and your battle-rifle within easy reach at all times, every minute of your day, 24-7-365.

Some of us long since realized that the Madhouse Left desperately craves a Civil War v2.0, and that they’ll keep right on pushing and pushing until they’ve finally gotten themselves one. Consequently, what we have before us now is the proverbial binary solution set: one side must win, one side must lose. So let’s make damned good and sure we win, mmmkay? The alternative doesn’t bear thinking about.

Meanwhile, sure, let’s point, laugh at, and make mock of the pussified nancyboy King and his record-time collapse from big-talking blowhard into teary-eyed twatwaffle, just as loud and as long as we want. By the same token, though, we must diligently maintain focus on what’s really happening here, what’s coming at us just around the bend at breakneck speed. We fail to do so, even momentarily, at our gravest imaginable peril.

Update! Think I’m guilty of overstating the case myself, do ya? Better think again, bub.

SURVEY: 55% Of Self-Identified Leftists Say Killing Trump Is Justifiable
The unhinged left, fueled by Trump Derangement Syndrome and seething hatred for Elon Musk, is trending more violent, according to a new study that finds political violence targeting President Donald Trump and his billionaire adviser is “becoming increasingly normalized.”

The report, produced by the Network of Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) in partnership with Rutgers University’s Social Perception Lab, finds a broader “assassination culture” appears to be “emerging within segments of the U.S. public on the extreme left, with expanding targets now including figures such as Donald Trump.” 

Less than a year after assassination attempts on then-presidential candidate Trump and the literally explosive violence against Musk’s Tesla electric vehicles, it’s no secret that leftists are ratcheting up violent rhetoric and actions. The more troubling trend is that an “assassination culture” isn’t just coming from the “fringe” left. 

“These attitudes are not fringe — they reflect an emergent assassination culture, grounded in far-left authoritarianism and increasingly normalized in digital discourse,” states the report, titled, “Assassination Culture: How Burning Teslas and Killing Billionaires Became a Meme Aesthetic for Political Violence.”

It only gets worse from there, I’m afraid. In the irreconcilably divided, 49-51 nation that is Amerika v2.0 at present, 55% is a clear enough majority in anybody’s book. “A house divided against itself cannot stand”—unfortunately for all of us, looks like we’ll be finding out whether or not Honest Abe had the right of it on that score, and probably sooner than most of us would prefer.

FREEDOM!!!

"There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
Daniel Webster

“When I was young I was depressed all the time. But suicide no longer seemed a possibility in my life. At my age there was very little left to kill.”
Charles Bukowski

“A slave is one who waits for someone to come and free him.”
Ezra Pound

“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.”
Frank Zappa

“The right of a nation to kill a tyrant in case of necessity can no more be doubted than to hang a robber, or kill a flea.”
John Adams

"A society of sheep must in time beget a government of wolves."
Bertrand de Jouvenel

"It is terrible to contemplate how few politicians are hanged."
GK Chesterton

"I predict that the Bush administration will be seen by freedom-wishing Americans a generation or two hence as the hinge on the cell door locking up our freedom. When my children are my age, they will not be free in any recognizably traditional American meaning of the word. I’d tell them to emigrate, but there’s nowhere left to go. I am left with nauseating near-conviction that I am a member of the last generation in the history of the world that is minimally truly free."
