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.

Miguel GFZ takes a look at the ugly, trying days to come.




59% of Democrats polled directly support a military coup d’etat with an extra13% not giving a shit if it happens. That is a total of 72% of D-Assholes willing to burn the ship they are riding (and us) as long as the captain dies. They are willing to kill America both the idea and the people.


And that is enough for you to understand why so many of them are voting Socialist/Communist.


I have been thinking and mulling about this for a while now and I just did not want to openly talk about it, but I believe a very uncivil war will happen sooner than I wish, and we will end up stacking bodies in town squares everywhere because they will do the same to us if we let them.


You will be asked to stop being polite or let politeness be engraved in your tombstone as reason you are no longer breathing.




My thoughts as well. Sure, the prospect of strife, bloodshed, and (un)civil war is indeed horrific beyond comprehension. BUT…the veritable certainty that we’ll end up subjugated, imprisoned, and murdered in job lots by a Communist dictatorship run by the current crop of mentally deranged “liberal” psychos is no less scarifying. They are now openly saying this is what they want to do; as with the jihadis, we really need to take them at their word, not just shrug off their openly-avowed intentions.


What with so many putative Reich-wingers preemptively, obsequiously foreswearing any and every act of violent resistance in defense of American liberty (whatever miserable shreds and tatters are left of it that we haven’t long since given up, that is), it seems that the original valiant, indomitable spirit of our Founding Fathers has been forever lost—rather, willfully abandoned.


As for the poll results Miguel discusses above, I can’t help but be put in mind of Grant’s sharpish riposte to his ranking subordinates who were in dread of the next breakout ass-whupping they were about to get from Lee which, to them, seemed as certain as tomorrow’s sunrise:




Oh, I am heartily tired of hearing about what Lee is going to do. Some of you always seem to think he is suddenly going to turn a double somersault, and land in our rear and on both of our flanks at the same time. Go back to your command, and try to think what are we going to do ourselves, instead of what Lee is going to do.




Probably the wisest, best pre-battle advice ever offered to any group of increasingly timorous, drubbing-conditioned field-rank officers, I’d say. In the end, Grant prevailed over one of the most able Generals of all time, as we all know, not so much because of his brilliant generalship and/or tactical acumen, but more because of his own iron will, dogged determination, and plain old guts.


Grant, Lee, Longstreet, Sherman, Jackson, and before them Washington, Nathanael Green, the wily “Swamp Fox” Francis Marion—these men are every natural-born Amercan patriot’s heritage, his proud, legitimate ancestral birthright—not the pusillanimous, cross-dressing, scrotum-licking pussies of the Repugnant Left. Hopefully, we’ll all remember, reclaim, and renew that sacred inheritance ere the end.

‘Needs to happen’: U.S. lawmakers move to designate American Muslim activists as foreign terror organization
The state of Texas already considers CAIR, the Quran-promoting Council on American-Islamic Relations, a terror group.


So do several foreign nations.


Now there’s a move developing in Congress to have CAIR officially labeled as a foreign terrorist group.


A report at the Center Square said the push is coming from key congressional members.


The group has asked the Trump administration to consider designating CAIR, which promotes Islam, as a terror group.


U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, already had called for that designation.


Now U.S. Rep. Randy Fine, of Florida, is sponsoring a plan to instruct the State Department to determine whether CAIR meets the criteria for an FTO label.


“It is a foreign terrorist organization,” he said in an interview with the Center Square. “I mean, CAIR was founded as an arm of the Muslim Brotherhood. It’s the front for Hamas.”


Hamas is the terror organization that several years ago invaded Israel in an act of war and slaughtered some 1,200 civilians, kidnapping hundreds more.


U.S. Rep. Earl S. “Buddy” Carter, of Georgia, said, “It’s something that needs to happen.”



Sheeeeiit, pal, it’s something that should’ve happened YEARS ago. After 9/11/01, it’s somewhat difficult to fathom how it hasn’t…or why.

Of course he isn’t; being as human as anybody else, he can’t be. But when he’s right, the man is fucking-A RIGHT.


This would be one of those times.








The whole durn thang.




TRUMP DID THE FOLLOWING:

– Called out the UN for ignoring Christian persecution worldwide while obsessing over America

– Demanded every ICC member resign immediately from that rogue anti-American tribunal

– Called Communist Cuba a failed state that will fall, then watched officials storm out

– Declared there is no human right to illegal immigration, only the right to stay a sovereign nation

– Scorched UNESCO globalists for pushing mass migration that destroys Western cultures

– Said there is NO global government and there will be NO global taxes while he is president

– Bragged that America cut the UN budget 15% and killed over 4,000 bureaucracy jobs

– Boasted of the most secure border in American history with ZERO illegal aliens admitted

– Declared America is BACK, stronger than ever, and in a GOLDEN AGE after Biden’s dark age

– Mic-dropped failed globalist leaders: while others talked peace, he MADE peace

– Vowed Iran will NEVER get a nuclear weapon and said the Middle East bully is finished

– Teased a huge post-election decision: strike a deal, or annihilate the Islamic Republic

– Exposed Iran as weak and desperate, not strong, and predicted Iranian terror’s end

– Slammed cowards and traitors leaking fake “low munitions” claims mid-conflict

– Took a victory lap over capturing Maduro and signing the largest oil deal in history

– Laid down the Donroe Doctrine: no threats get a foothold in the Western Hemisphere

– Refused to apologize for crushing drug cartels, calling them the ISIS of the hemisphere

– Locked in permanent Greenland security rights that shut out China, Russia, and adversary investment

– Renamed Artificial Intelligence to Super Intelligence and vowed America stays #1 over China

– Closed with a nationalist call to strengthen nations, grow economies, and God bless America


And that’s just a non-exhaustive list.




Amazingly enough, it is. About damned time a US Prexy had balls enough to beard the UN lion in its very den, sayeth I. Via Ace.

Shocking, unexpected, and extravagantly out of character, I know.




The August 31 Instagram post from Last Ditch Bar and Arts Venue, a lesbian bar in Greenfield, was upbeat, teasing a new DJ lineup and a volunteer meetup. But partway down the rainbow-hued post labeled “UPDATES!” was a sentence that would splinter the queer community in this small Pioneer Valley city and beyond. “It is with love we inform our immunocompromised disabled divas we will be opening Saturday nights as mask optional,” wrote Last Ditch.


Previously, patrons were required to wear a well-fitted KN-95 mask “or better” at all times.


The new policy was not received with love.


“Just say you’re being complicit in a mass disabling event and get it over with,” wrote one commenter.


“people like you kill disabled people in the name of your own leisure and convenience,” posted another.


“I hope your venue gets firebombed for robbing my fellow immunocompromised people of their Saturday plans just to scrape extra revenue from ablists [sic],” wrote a third.



Oh, forgot to mention “pathetic” up there, didn’t I? Feel free to throw that in in your heads, gang. Mea maxima culpas for that most lamentable lapse.


Link all squinched up in the original Insty post, so I just went with Ed’s excerpt.

Okay, I gotta admit, when I saw this my mind was well and truly blown.




Here’s the Answer to Those White House Tweets Teasing That ‘Something’s Coming’
CNN, MS NOW, and Politico were banned from White House briefings by President Donald Trump last week for being “fake news.” They responded by making a joint statement on Monday announcing they would be suing to get their access restored.


Then other media outlets that were involved in the pool coverage of the White House said they would be suspending their coverage of Trump and the White House in response to the ban of the outlets.


The whining was something.


Then the White House teased that “something was coming” and advised people to watch the White House X account.


The White House appears to be getting ready to do an end run around the legacy media. They just posted this tweet.












Now, all that’s hilarious enough already, yeah. BUT, just to make the whole scenario even more delicious, jam-packed with rich, buttery goodness, and SOOO good for you, here’s the rest of the story.


See, I just happen to be about a third of the way through Book 5 of Kurt Schlichter’s awesome Kelly Turnbull series of novels, this one titled Crisis, when what to my wondering eyes should appear but the introduction of a new character, a highly atypical female TeeWee news-wench name of Avery Barnes. Check it:




“Hey,” said a woman’s voice from behind Turnbull, one with a lightly suppressed Southern lilt. “You in the leather jacket.”


Turnbull pivoted, assuming he’d draw the SIG and go for a Mozambique drill on his interlocutor – two in the chest, one in the hat rack – if it came to that. But his kill plan wasn’t necessary, at least not at that moment.


The woman calling to him was a pretty blonde in her early 30s, clearly a reporter since a cameraman was standing next to her, munching on a green apple and looking bored. He was dressed like a hobo, as field cameramen generally are, but she was extremely put together. She looked like she was about to walk into her suburban Georgia Baptist church for the first time after getting divorced, with a slightly too-tight red dress that hovered above her knees, loads of make-up, and every hair locked into its assigned place. The mic she held said “Trump News Network” in gold letters.




SO. If the White House staff haven’t come up with a name for this new venture yet, I may could offer a suggestion.

Q: Do dolphins understand and/or experience human emotional reactions such as gratitude?


A: 


Those signs the Magic 8-ball just mentioned:




Massimo
@Rainmaker1973


She didn’t just swim away: she came back with gifts.


After rescuers freed her calf from a fishing net, a mother dolphin began regularly leaving fresh fish on a dock as a touching “thank you” gesture.


In July 2025, a dolphin calf became entangled in fishing gear near a marina. A man named Tom and other local boat owners successfully freed the calf and reunited it with its distressed mother. Days later, people at a nearby dock started discovering neatly placed fresh fish each morning.


Initially suspecting a prank, they checked surveillance footage and were stunned to see a dolphin surfacing at night, gently placing fish on the wooden dock before swimming off. The behavior was soon linked to the recent rescue, leading many to believe the mother dolphin was deliberately thanking the man who helped save her baby.


She repeated the act multiple times. While marine biologists are cautious about attributing human emotions like gratitude to animals, they note that dolphins possess high intelligence and complex social awareness. Real or symbolic, the story has captured hearts worldwide as a beautiful example of the special bond between humans and dolphins.






Awwww.

Y’know, for a fella who starts his article off by saying “I don’t normally comment on political races,” he sure packs a helluva wallop.




Calling Bullsh-t on James Talarico
Jesus is not your campaign surrogate.


I don’t normally comment on political races, but when I see someone who is as fundamentally full of sh-t as James Talarico, I believe it is my duty to say something about it. James Talarico is now the Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate from Texas, having defeated Jasmine Crockett in the 2026 primary. He has discovered a political instrument more powerful than a Super PAC, more versatile than a focus group, and considerably harder to interview: Jesus Christ. After generations of right-wing Protestant pastors hijacking the message of Jesus and turning him into some kind of political football, you have to hand it to James. After all, he is shameless enough to say, why not me?


Down in the backwater leftist stronghold of Austin, Texas, Talarico is selling progressive politics with a halo. He has shamelessly transformed Jesus into a mouthpiece for leftist progressivism. But that same feeling that we used to get when we watched the PTL Club pervades his aura. I have to hand it to American Protestantism; despite its amazing versatility, it can still make you feel dirty, cheap, and used.


Talarico’s maneuver is a simple one for the simple-minded. He selects biblical passages that he can bastardize and put into the service of leftist progressivism, as if it were a direct command from the Lord Jesus Christ to the White House and the U.S. Senate. Jesus becomes a mouthpiece for the massive expansion of government, open borders and illegal immigration, and NGOs. However, the clarity of his stance rolls into the fog the moment that the fate of an unborn child enters the discussion.


It would be too simple to call him a political whore. But I have to say that hearing him speak makes me nostalgic for Jasmine Crockett. Talarico has shamelessly peddled the God-loves-abortion argument that was vomited out by his professors at the far-left seminary he attended in Austin. Just a quick review of the course catalogue puts the “seminary” in the same political hotbox as any American progressive propaganda center these days. As a survivor of Harvard Divinity School, I can recognize all the usual fluff: Activism and the Old Testament Scriptures, Womanist and Feminist readings of the New Testament, Immigration and the Old Testament, Communication for Ministries of Social Justice. At Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary, there is not even a pretense to read the Bible through anything other than a Marxist, feminist lens. The historical texts never stood a chance.


What is especially loathsome about these seminaries is that they seem to barely read the printed word and have no real interest in what the Gospels actually say. Their efforts have been directed toward “demythologizing” the gospel (Rudolf Bultmann), finding the secular meaning (Paul van Buren), secularizing the message (Harvey Cox, The Secular City), or drawing a picture of God to their liking, literally conjured up from thin air (God the Problem, Gordon Kaufman). Then there are the feminist wackos like Mary Daly, the “theologian” who despised all men, would not accept men into her classroom, and would only refer to God as “Goddess.” For any serious scholar who actually wants to study Augustine, Aquinas, Athanasius, Luther, or the actual Bible, stay the hell away from a mainstream Protestant seminary. They wouldn’t know a Bible if it fell off the shelf and hit them over the head. They haven’t even lifted their heads out of Das Kapital for the last 75 years.




“It would be too simple,” you say? I dunno, myself; seems to me that calling the smarmy cockholster a “political whore” meets the case quite nicely.

Eric S. Raymond
@esrtweet


The city of Narva, Estonia, sits at the Russian border, on the Narva river, opposite the zone where the Russians have declared a curfew for its inhabitants and a no-go zone for people who don’t already live there.


Narva is 87% ethnic Russian.


There are intelligence reports that Russia has been building hospital facilities near this border.


Russian border guards have been spotted shoring up the banks of the Narva River in exactly the way you would expect if you thought they were going to throw expedient military bridges across it.


Russian border guards have also removed a set of buoys in the river marking the Russian-Estonian border, sparking a formal protest from the Estonian government.


Putin has claimed the right to intravene militarily to protect “oppressed” ethnic Russians in the near abroad. The invasion and annexation of Crimea was justified on these grounds.


These are all facts. Draw your own conclusions.




A few more cold, hard facts from Stephen, including what may end up being the one that really tells the story (bold mine).




But here’s where it gets truly disturbing: “The city of Narva, Estonia, sits at the Russian border, on the Narva river, opposite the zone where the Russians have declared a curfew for its inhabitants and a no-go zone for people who don’t already live there.“


Narva is 87% ethnic Russian, a result of Russian colonization efforts in the Baltics, both during the Czarist and Soviet era. “Putin has claimed the right to intervene militarily to protect ‘oppressed’ ethnic Russians in the near abroad,” Eric posted. “The invasion and annexation of Crimea [in 2014] was justified on these grounds.”


I make zero predictions, none whatsoever, about what comes next.


It seems absolutely insane by most measures for Putin to make warlike moves like these while virtually all of Russia’s conventional combat power remains committed to his own Forever War in Ukraine.


But then I’m reminded of a quote attributed to Dwight Eisenhower: “If a problem cannot be solved, enlarge it.”


Maybe a real test of NATO resolve — and perhaps fracturing the alliance, if Putin can make a joke out of Article 5 — is the Russian leader’s way of enlarging the unsolvable problem of Ukraine.


And if NATO resolve is not found wanting?


I’m not sure I want to know, but I’m not the one throwing the dice on the banks of the Narva River.




Disturbing, no?

Gee, who among us saw THIS one coming?




New Crime Stats: Children of Migrants More Likely to Be Criminals Than First Generation
I have been following Danish crime stats because Denmark is one of the few countries that track crime using key demographic variables such as race, religion, country of origin, and immigration status (and their descendants).


For years now, Danish crime statistics tell us what we already can intuit from the data we do have: migrants from Muslim countries commit crimes at a vastly higher rate than native-born Europeans, and the statistics indicate that the rates aren’t even close. They are especially represented in the sexual crime statistics, but in just about every category, the differences are remarkable.


But what most people who support mass migration might be surprised to learn is this: their male descendants are even more likely to commit crimes and are often more likely to be Islamist extremists than their parents. Again, the statistics show the differences aren’t even close.


Here are the basic facts: as first-generation Muslim immigrants have aged, their propensity to commit crimes has decreased somewhat, leading to a slight decline in first-generation crime statistics. They are now only about two times more likely to commit crimes as native-born Danes, which is still pretty bad.


More worrying is that their sons are even more likely to commit crimes than they were; the rate is three times as high, or even higher in some cases, and they are also more likely to see themselves as the natural replacements for a declining population in their adopted countries.




Indisputable confirmation of the essential truth underpinning the hoary old maxim: Invite the Third World, become the Third World.

Pearl Clutching
Trump excluded certain left leaning members of the MSM from the White House grounds. The left is losing their collective minds, claiming this to be an unprecedented assault on the First Amendment, and of course making comparisons to Hitler, their standard accusation. They have almost completely memory holed the fact that both Obama and Biden did the same thing.


In October 2009, amid a feud in which White House officials (including Communications Director Anita Dunn) publicly described Fox News as not a legitimate news organization but more like “the research arm or the communications arm of the Republican Party” and said they would treat it “the way we would treat an opponent,” even while saying the network’s point of view was “ultimately destructive” to the nation, then ordered the Treasury Department to exclude a Fox journalist from a multi-network interview pool.


Obama’s administration was widely criticized by journalists (including from outlets not aligned with Fox) for tight control of information, fewer formal press conferences than many predecessors, restricted photographer access (favoring official White House images), delays or stonewalling on FOIA, and “blackballing” or limiting access for some critical reporters at agencies.


Obama’s efforts to plug leaks and persecute leakers even exceeded those of George W. Bush’s administration. The administration prosecuted Stephen Kim, a former State Department official, merely for discussing a classified report about North Korea with Fox News reporter James Rosen, even going so far as to seize Associated Press phone records for two months and used the FBI to conduct surveillance on James Rosen (naming him as an “unindicted co-conspirator” in one case) and New York Times reporter James Risen while trying to identify sources.




DM has much, much more yet.


Myself, I’m perfectly fine with treating The Enemy as if he was, y’know, The Enemy. Likewise, I’m also A-okay with ass-munching libtard ”journalists” bawling their eyes out nonstop, provided they’re being given beaucoup reason for it.

Excellent quote re Sophie: “Again, the WNBA enforcer opens her mouth and out pours the common sense and reason.” Annnnnd BINGO! Nailed it in one. Sophie girl is definitely prone to that sort of thing, bless her smokin’ hot self.


Update! One of the all-time great Sophie C moments. Not the clothesline, natch, but just take note of how many people it took to pull My Girl off of that cultural-appropriating fake-blonde cheater bitch.




It’s plain to see, from the first part of the vid, that Sophie C has NO problem at all with playing what you might call a physical game. No whiner, she, so don’t EVEN try to go there.


Updated update! ZOMG—I knew Sweet Sydney dug restoring and wrenching on classic cars, but after learning this…well, that’s it, I’m all in with this babe-a-licious doll.




In order to set Ford’s business up for long-term success, we set our sights on improving brand perceptions by women.


To de-stereotype Ford in the eyes of many, we needed to go beyond advertising. To do this, we partnered with a surprising Ford driver and mechanic, Sydney Sweeney. Together, we created an Auto 101 series to help people feel more confident doing auto basics on their cars, created an inclusive workwear line, and got people the world talking about women in auto.


Every asset that was made, was made to show a new side of Ford.


We tapped into Sydney’s knowledge and passionate fan base with an Auto 101 series where Sydney taught auto maintenance basics like how to check your oil and more.


To take Sydney’s love for cars even further, she helped us design a custom baby blue 2024 Mustang GT to give away to fans.



In addition to all her other fine qualities, she’s a fellow Ford fanatic as well? Okay, that’s it for me, I am now hopelessly smitten over here.

Greetings and Salutations!

So since this here ain’t MY haus per se, and our Gracious Blegghost, my Brother From Another Mother Mike (AKA “Stumpy” Hendrix) allows me to come over and occasionally sling some poo and be a general malcontent, I’m resisting the urge to poast moar frequently, as SOME of his ‘regular’ readers find me to be an uncouth eeee-vil Right of Hitler antisemite/ray-sa-cyst/noticer to the Nth Degree.


Guilt on all counts.


BUT

That being admitted to and suchlike, I still want to tell those who may be innerested as to the week, the week end and the various  slings and arrows of outrageous H.R. reportable crimes I may or may not have committed over the past week…  Onw was today at People’s Glorious Steel Mill towards the end-of-the-week Struggle Session where all of the trainees get together and self critique this past week and what we as a group could do to further the Modern Soyviet Man.


At one point the females of the group got a weeeeee bit out of hand.

Like LOUDLY out of hand where the Commissars (all a good 10-15 years younger than myself attempted to reign in the chaos.


This included, no shit, an attempt to “Poetry Snap” attention towards themselves.

As in raising both hands, and snapping their fingers as loudly as possible.

As if they were snap-applauding a Poetry Slam…

FFS….


Needless to say, this didn’t work.


There’s only so much an old Unreformed Grunt or “DEI Converso” (converso being the term for undercover Jews in Spain used, who allegedly converted to Catholicism, but kept practicing their Jewish faith, despite the risks…) I run the same in that as stated, I’m a “DEI Converso”… I keep my mouth shut, parrot The Party Line and don’t raise my head above the trench parapet, lest it get shot off…


Except today.

Overtired, brain burned to the point I was a talking monkey, hearing the nonstop female jibber-jabber finally got to me.


“AT EASE!!!!” I yelled in a moderately raised voice.


What can I say?  It was reflexive at that point…


Every. Single. Person. suddenly shut the fuck up, shut the fuck down, and turned to stare at the very large known former DotMil Private Military Contractor who called in the ‘silence marker’ so to speak.  50+ people cowed into instant silence…


A guy sitting next to me turned and sotto voce said “Tell me you were in the Army, without telling me you were in the Army.”

Guilt as charged is what I replied.

The Managers and Supervisors were actually grateful , as it alleviated THEM from having had to cow the crowd, and risk an H.R. intervention.  And TBH, it was the least of my options, where in reality standing up and shouting “Everyone needs to shut the fuck up, sit the fuck down, or I’m going to fucking Hulk the Fuck out!”  THAT would have set my new-career dissipation light into the red-zone, and I sort of like this gig.  I’m making good cash, getting a lot of exercise, losing weight and in a few months, I might be able to buy some MOAR cool new toys before the wheels come off for good.


Case in point:

Downtown Tampa, on my way to the Industrial Area, near the Port…

The Port Sapper USED to work at…  The Port that 90% of ALL the gas that goes up the East Cost comes in

THAT port.

Those are Califrutopia Prices…

If we’re seeing those, shit is about to get real.

‘Cos this means Independent Truckers are NOT going to be able to afford to work, and along with the interest rate increases, well the Ind. Trucker kids are NOT nor CAN NOT afford to be hauling good at that cost point shortly.  Payments on a Truck?  Whooo…  I’m rethinking my purchases with the next few weeks in mind, and retuning my “Wants/Needs/Desires”


Now, that being said, by now a LOT of you have heard about Borepatch and his “Big C” Diagnosis.

Prostate Cancer.

We’re going to Manatee tomorrow for some well earned and needed ‘trigger therapy’ to try and beat a little anger at the Universe and Circumstances out via shooting some superior firepower.  I’ll have pics hopefully for the next post.  He’s a great dude and going to try and explain MY protocol, as it worked for Gretchen, as well as some other people…  that and we’ve seen enough “official” papers now pretty much that shows that A) They know cancer is a viral infection and that B) antivirals like Ivermectin and Fenbendazole if not cure it, they have major negative affects on tumors, hence the panic during the ‘Vid back in 2020, as they knew IF people started popping Ivermectin, in particular cancer patients that it could give away the whole “cancer grift:”


Make of it what you will.


Otherwise, we’re great here.  The Boat is repaired, for short money a guy did the alternator, but that only meant that the window regulator I replaced less than 2 years ago?  Yeah, the wire broke the other day, so the window is fucked again… Man I need a break.


BTW: A heads up

The Dooney is in a contest.  I’m not a big believer in this, but G asked me to put this up:

Some BS Baby of the Year contest

Bah… they’re all rigged.

But the link is here: https://babyoftheyear.org/2026/axel-09fa

I’d appreciate any voat.

As would The Dooney

He IS a cute lil Bastid ain’t he?

So more later

Big Country

Great American Stories Vol 1
                    

                     Posted on       by      1 Comment            

            


    

            
Been thinking lately of starting up a series spotlighting tales of legendary Americans from all and every era, and decided the first installment could only be about a YUGE favorite of mine back when I was but a young sprat: the amazing Robert Craig “Evel” Knievel.




Knievel started his career as a professional rider a bit late in life when he was 27 years old. He was the first daredevil biker to transform his stunts into a lucrative business and became a worldwide sensation in the 1960s/70s.


Robert Craig Knievel was born in the copper-mining town of Butte, Montana, on October 17, 1938. His parents broke up not long after he was born and the kid was raised by his grandparents. Knievel was a very energetic teenager, a standout athlete in track and field, sky-jumping, and ice hockey. Unfortunately, he used part of this energy to become a petty criminal.


His very first bike was a Harley-Davidson he stole when he was 13 years old. Three years later his grandmother bought him a Triumph.


One night Robert was caught by the cops for riding his bike recklessly (no shi…!) and was taken to the local precinct. There, the police were holding a guy named Knofel, whom they called “Awful Knofel“. To call Robert “Evil Knievel” was a no-brainer. The name stuck, and some years later, Mr. Knievel legally took the name Evel, changing the “i” to “e” because, he said, he thought it looked better.


His career as a petty criminal continued, He was once again caught by the police, at this time, stealing hubcaps. Hoping the military life could straighten him up, the judge decided to give Evel a chance, it would either be going to jail or joining the army. Knievel jumped into the green uniform in the 1950s, but a regular infantry job wouldn’t do it for him; he volunteered to be a paratrooper and performed more than 30 jumps during his tenure. Afterward, he played semiprofessional and professional hockey, for a time with the Charlotte Clippers of the Eastern Hockey League. Then he took up motorcycle racing full-time until falling and breaking bones in a race in 1962.


When he was 27, Knievel became co-owner of a motorcycle shop in Moses Lake, Wash. To attract customers, he announced he would jump his Honda 350cc, 40 feet over parked cars and a box of rattlesnakes, and continue past a mountain lion tethered at the other end. More than 1,000 people came to see him, His jump was almost perfect, but he failed to fly far enough; his bike came down on the rattlesnakes. The audience was in awe.


“Right then,” he said, “I knew I could draw a big crowd by jumping over weird stuff.”


Some guys in history were born to become legends and that might be the case with Evel Knievel, even if he turned out to be a controversial one. Some stories about his personal life are as extreme as his stunts. He said he had twice kidnapped his hometown sweetheart, Linda Bork, and married her after the second time. He said he had robbed a service station of $900 when the owner failed to pay off a $25 bet. He said he had worked as a card shark, a swindler, and a safecracker. How much of it is true or not remained unclear.


Evel started his career riding Honda, Norton, and Triumph but his favorite bike was Harley-Davidson. For an American hero through and through, there was no other brand that could fit the bill.


He chose the XR 750, a bike designed primarily for dirt track competition, but it could also perform well on paved tracks.




And the tale continues on from there, featuring some really great, seldom-seen photos of the legendary daredevil in action. The famous Caesars Palace smash-up—”by far my worst crash,” according to the man his own self—is covered in minute detail, including the backstory of what-all went into booking the event to begin with. Fascinating stuff, believe you me; the pics alone are well worth the price of admission.


Follows, the fabled Caesars Palace misadventure—the jump that made him a superstar, but which also damned near killed the guy.




Watching the crash as a 7 year old kid horrified me, the way his body rag-dolled limply, seemingly boneless, as he went bouncing along at the bottom of the ramp. A fractured skull, pelvis, hips, and ribs; a month-long spell in a coma, effectively dead to the world. God only knows what my mom must’ve thought about the whole thing.


There have been other motorcycle stunt-riders and jumpers over the years—including Evel’s own son Robbie, who died in ’23 of pancreatic cancer—but none of them quite like the one, the only, the original Evel Knievel.

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

—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

—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."
—Donald Sensing


"The only way to live free is to live unobserved."
—Etienne de la Boiete


"History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid."

—David Black, from Turn Left For Gibraltar


"If the laws of God and men, are therefore of no effect, when the magistracy is left at liberty to break them; and if the lusts of those who are too strong for the tribunals of justice, cannot be otherwise restrained than by sedition, tumults and war, those seditions, tumults and wars, are justified by the laws of God and man."
—John Adams


"The limits of tyranny are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress."
—Frederick Douglass


"Give me the media and I will make of any nation a herd of swine."
—Joseph Goebbels


“I hope we once again have reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There’s a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: As government expands, liberty contracts.”
