Class trip to…erm…Japan?!?


Yep, I promise you it’s for real: my lovely, über-talented, and bona fide genius daughter Madeleine—currently a rising Junior at Bessemer City HS (near Gastonia, NC)—is going on a field trip courtesy of EF Educational Tours to Tokyo, Yokohama, Hiroshima, and Osaka next July 14-22. The link is to the fundraiser her mom and step-dad are holding to foot the cost of this once-in-a-lifetime trip.


The ex-spousal unit and mother of my only child contacted me earlier this afternoon to ask if I’d be on board with helping spread the word about the Send Mike’s Young ‘Un to Jay-pang fundie, so here we all are. The above link will whisk you off to MJ’s donation page, as will this one, from whence those of y’all with a few extra shekels burning holes in your pocketses can toss a few into the kitty and help give a great kid an experience she’s bound to remember for the rest of her life.


I was telling my brother Jeff about this whole deal when he guffawed and choked out past his uncontrollable mirth, “Man alive, when I was in school we were lucky to get to go over to the Schiele Museum in Gastonia every year.” Same here, bro, same here. Loved that joint all to pieces when I was but a wee tyke. I’ll make this sticky so’s it’ll stay up top for a week or two, and not get lost in the shuffle.

In this case, is Billy Gibbons.




Frank Beard, Veteran Drummer for ZZ Top, Dead at 77
Frank Beard, the veteran drummer for the rock band ZZ Top, has died at the age of 77.


Beard died on Monday at his Texas ranch following a stay in hospice, the Fort Bend County Medical Examiner said. His exact cause of death has not been disclosed at this time. Billy F. Gibbons, founder of ZZ Top, mourned the drummer’s passing in a statement shared to TMZ.


“Today, Elwood and I lost a great friend and collaborator, and the world lost one of the most naturally innovative drummers and a great and true son of Texas. His signature backbeat was key to keeping ZZ on top. The band of which he was part for six decades is going to keep on keeping on as he had wished,” said Gibbons. The drummer’s health has been a source of contention for several weeks, with the band having to cancel its August 5 concert at the Hollywood Bowl due to his ailment.


“With the passing of Frank, ZZ Top is canceling their show tonight in Salt Lake City and tomorrow Colorado Springs … they’ll resume this weekend with two dates at Austin City Limits — at one of Frank’s favorite venues,” TMZ reported.


“Frontman Billy Gibbons said at the time the band was dealing with “insurmountable obstacles” and asked fans to bear with them during the interruption,” it added. “Frank had also been absent from the band’s recent performances … with drummer Michael Monahan filling in behind the kit. ZZ Top performed without Frank in Saratoga, California just days before TMZ learned of his death.”




He will surely be sorely, sorely missed.




Update! Good Lord, man, how could I ever even have dreamed of leaving this classic out?

Truly penetrating analysis from Ace.




Trump often says he wants an immigration system that permits skilled workers into the country, and people who “love” us.


That always hit me as a little, I don’t know, soft. Do I care if immigrants “love” us or not?


Well I’ll tell you what, I care now. Trump is and was right: It should matter to us if immigrants are coming into this country to bring the chaos, corruption, and endless civil wars of their home shithole countries to our Main Streets, or if they’re really coming to join our civilization as supporters and actual, real “cultural enrichers.”


The left has created an ideology called Third Worldism. Third Worldism teaches all people in poor countries to hate white westerners and blame them for all of their poverty and stagnation. The way out of poverty and stagnation is not, as you might think, to adopt the proveably pro-growth and pro-stability doctrines of the west, but instead to just inflict on the west all of the ills and mayhem of the Third World. They believe that if they can just destroy the west, the Third World will thrive. I guess the theory is something like, “The West is all tall trees that catch the sunlight before it reaches the bushes on the ground. If we just tear down and burn all the tall trees, we’ll all grow as high as they once were.”


It’s absurd. But note it is just the companion doctrine of anti-white, anti-American racial socialism in this country, which also advocates for not changing anything about failing “communities” except to destroy the “oppressors” supposedly keeping them down.




Or, as their false God Lenin is reputed to have said, Chyem hoozhye, tyem looschye.

Might she be the new Sydney Sweeney?










GOD, how I love this woman. If you don’t feel the same way, you’re just a gottdamned un-American shitheel gooberhead, that’s all. Sophie is beautiful, sexy, fearless and indomitable, and eminently sensible, with good instincts and a finely-calibrated bullshit detector. The girl is as all-American as they come, with all those fine qualities and more rolled up into one sassy, smoking-hot package. I ask you, people: what’s not to like here?

The dirtiest song ever recorded

Is not “Think Twice Version X” by Jackie Wilson and LaVerne Baker, nor is it “Rotten Cocksuckers’ Ball” by the Clovers, nor is it “Shave ‘Em Dry” by Lucille Bogan—serious contenders all, certainly, but for my money the all-time prize for dirty tuneage goes to, of all artists/groups/whatever…erm…the Andrews Sisters?!?


The title is “Rum And Coca Cola,” which got the thing de facto banned upon its (attempted) 1945 release for the mention of alcohol in both title and chorus. What makes this ditty the all-time champ of dirty is the lyrics’ contention that, basically, every female in Trinidad was a prostitute, running down to the docks to peddle ass to US sailors anytime a Navy ship sailed into port. As the lyrics flatly put it, “Both mother and daughter/Working for the Yankee dollar.”


Nope, nothing coy or subtle about that, I must say.




The melody was published as the work of Venezuelan calypso composer Lionel Belasco on a song titled “L’Année Passée”. The lyrics to “Rum and Coca-Cola” were written by Rupert Grant, another calypso musician from Trinidad who used the stage name Lord Invader.


The song became a local hit and was at the peak of its popularity when US entertainer Morey Amsterdam visited the island in September 1943 as part of a U.S.O. tour. The song was then published in the United States with Amsterdam listed as lyricist and Jeri Sullivan and Paul Baron as composers. Although he claimed never to have heard the song during the month he spent on the island, the lyrics to his version are clearly based on the Lord Invader version, with the music and chorus being virtually identical. However, Amsterdam’s version strips the song of its social commentary. The Lord Invader version laments that U.S. soldiers are debauching local women who “saw that the Yankees treat them nice/and they give them a better price.” Its final stanza describes a newlywed couple whose marriage is ruined when “the bride run away with a soldier lad/and the stupid husband went staring mad.” The Amsterdam version also hints that women are prostituting themselves, preserved in the Lord Invader chorus which says, “Both mother and daughter/Working for the Yankee dollar.”


Since the Yankee come to Trinidad

They got the young girls all goin’ mad

Young girls say they treat ’em nice

Make Trinidad like paradise


The song was recorded in 1944 by The Andrews Sisters, crediting the composition to Amsterdam, Sullivan and Baron. The sisters seem to have given little thought to the meaning of the lyrics. According to Patty Andrews, “We had a recording date, and the song was brought to us the night before the recording date. We hardly really knew it, and when we went in we had some extra time and we just threw it in, and that was the miracle of it. It was actually a faked arrangement. There was no written background, so we just kind of faked it.” In under ten minutes they made a record that sold seven million units and sat at number one on the Billboard magazine chart for seven weeks. Maxine Andrews recalled, “The rhythm was what attracted the Andrews Sisters to ‘Rum and Coca-Cola’. We never thought of the lyric. The lyric was there, it was cute, but we didn’t think of what it meant; but at that time, nobody else would think of it either, because we weren’t as morally open as we are today and so, a lot of stuff—really, no excuses—just went over our heads.” Some stations refused to play the song because it mentioned rum, and alcohol could not be advertised on the air, or because it mentioned the brand name Coca-Cola, which was perceived as advertising for the soft drink.




Fret not, people; y’all know I wouldn’t leave ya hanging as to what the song sounds like.




OH, you naughty, naughty girls!

Infamous Springstein ass-lick Dave Marsh finally bites the big one.




Dave Marsh, the music critic and biographer who documented the early days of Bruce Springsteen in his influential 1979 book “Born to Run,” died Friday in his Connecticut home. He was 76.


Jim Rotolo, who hosts the Springsteen-fan cast “The Wild & The Innocent” on SiriusXM, confirmed Marsh’s death in a Facebook post on Saturday morning.


“Dave wrote several books about Bruce as part of a remarkable body of work spanning some 25 titles,” Rotolo wrote, along with a picture of himself, Springsteen and Marsh. “A longtime rock critic for Creem and Rolling Stone, he was also one of the creators of ‘E Street Radio’ and hosted ‘Kick Out the Jams’ on SiriusXM for 19 years. Rest easy, Dave. Thank you for everything, my friend. You will be missed.”




Not by me, he won’t. Fuck him. Via Ed:




Marsh was a fearless critic, rarely holding back even with his most caustic and controversial views. “Whatever its claims, Queen isn’t here just to entertain,” he wrote in a notorious Rolling Stone review of Queens’ 1979 LP Jazz. “This group has come to make it clear exactly who is superior and who is inferior. Its anthem, ‘We Will Rock You,’ is a marching order: you will not rock us, we will rock you. Indeed, Queen may be the first truly fascist rock band. The whole thing makes me wonder why anyone would indulge these creeps and their polluting ideas.”


He had similar disdain for Journey, Air Supply, and Kiss, once bragging that he did his “share to keep [Kiss] off the ballot” during his 26-year tenure on the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nominating committee.




Any of the aforementioned “these creeps” could handily kick Springstein’s feeble ass thrice before lunch any day of the week without breaking a sweat. Whilst bending Marsh’s linguine-arm up between his shoulder blades simultaneously, too.

OFFICIAL PRACTICE REPORT


The newly self declared WNBA roster of Enes Kanter Freedom, Royce White, Brock “Briana” Pierson, and Will “Willamina” Van Booraem completed our first closed door practice session this morning.


Key findings:


    

  • We outrebounded the imaginary opponents 47-3
    • 

  • The coaching staff asked us to “tone down the testosterone”
    • 

  • Three of us requested larger sports bras. One of us requested a smaller one for “aerodynamics”
    • 

  • Hormone levels remain “under active investigation”
    • 

  • The league’s “fairness” committee has been notified that biology is still under review
    • 



We are also issuing the following demands:


    

  1. Immediate removal of the “women’s” label from the league name (it’s exclusionary)
    2. 

  2. Separate showers for the people who actually need them
    3. 

  3. Guaranteed starting spots regardless of shooting percentage, footwork, or facial hair density
    4. 

  4. A formal apology from anyone still using the phrase “biological male”
    5. 



Women’s basketball is about to get taller, broader, hairier, and significantly more confusing for the people still stuck in 20th century science.


We’re not asking for inclusion.

We’re demanding a formal apology from anyone still using the phrase “biological male”.


See you at tip off.




Of COURSE there’s a pic, and of COURSE it’s a scream.




I dont even like basketball, never have, but I gotta tell ya I am LOVING this.


Update! Via Insty, Northern Barbarian says: “I never expected to be as enthused as I am now about this whole trans thing.” Me neither, friend.


Speaking of the Instant One, a very happy blogiversary to ya, ol’ buddy.

Hy-larious kitty-cat article, from Quora.




Why do cats knock things off tables while making direct, unbroken eye contact with you?




Obvious answer: because, that’s why. Better answer:




TabbyNote
6 Hrs


If a cat shoving a glass off a table only cared about gravity, they would watch it fall. When they lock eyes with you instead, it isn’t malice—they’re running an experiment on you.


A cat’s paw pads are packed with highly sensitive nerve endings that act as their primary tool for investigating the world. In the wild, when a feline encounters an unfamiliar object—such as a motionless bug or a dead mouse—they bat it to test if it is alive, how fast it moves, or if it is safe to engage. A pen, a remote, or a glass sitting idle on a coffee table triggers that exact same investigative instinct. Pushing it is their way of gathering data.


Indoor cats also use this behavior to manufacture their own entertainment. A feline environment lacking in mental stimulation creates a bored predator, and for a bored predator, gravity is highly entertaining. Watching an object fall, hearing it hit the floor, and observing how it bounces provides an immediate rush of sensory feedback, temporarily turning a static room into a dynamic playground.


The unbroken eye contact reveals the ultimate motivation: the real toy is the human.


Cats learn cause and effect with remarkable efficiency. They quickly realize that knocking an object off a table is a guaranteed way to make a human stand up, speak loudly, and provide immediate attention. To a bored cat, even negative attention—like yelling or rushing over to shoo them away—is a victory. The unblinking stare is the cat waiting for their custom-built, highly predictable human toy to perform its usual routine. When humans stop reacting, the game loses its appeal, and the cat will usually move on to find a more rewarding source of stimulation.






Heh. Little turds.

It’s fake, a scam? I can’t believe it…I WON’T believe it!




‘Republicans For Talarico’ Exposed As Complete Scam
Leftist outlet MS NOW aired a segment featuring three Texas women who identified themselves as Republicans and vowed to cross over for James Talarico — but records show at least some of them have voted in Democratic primaries and donated to liberal candidates and causes.


Talarico, who has sparked backlash for his fringe views on Christianity, affection for transgender children, and disdain for the American flag, is banking on Republican crossover support to become the first Texas Democrat elected statewide in decades.


“Republicans for Talarico is as real as the six genders that Talarico claims exist, but has yet to explain what they are. This lame rebrand of White Dudes for Kamala is full of lifelong Democrat donors, activists, and other losers,” RNC spokesman Zach Kraft said in a statement to The Daily Wire.




That last would have to be the Quote of the Century of the Week, I think. A certain pertinent question presents itself here, and Ace is just the guy to ask it.




Wait — if this is a scam, does that mean that The Bulwark, The Dispatch, and National Review might be scams, too?




Why, of COURSE not, buddy, perish the thought.


    


    




    



    

        
The Plan
                    

                     Posted on       by      1 Comment            

            


    

            
Please don’t try to tell me you didn’t know there was one. PLEASE.




For the Muslim Brotherhood in the U.S., Everything Is Going According to Plan
Sure, there are a few dissenting voices. But the left will take care of them.


Before 2007, there were no Muslim in the House of Representatives or Senate at all. The seven Muslim legislators who will be sworn in (on the Qur’an, no doubt) in January will include the four representatives in the 119th Congress: Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.); Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.); Andre Carson (D-Ind.), and Lateefah Simon (D-Calif.). Joining them will be the nation’s first Muslim senator, Abdul El-Sayed (D-Mich.), as well as Reps. Darializa Avila Chevalier (D-N.Y.) and Adam Hamawy (D-N.J.).


After the November elections, there could be more as well, but El-Sayed, Avila Chevalier and Hamawy are virtually assured of election now, as they have nothing to worry about in November. The left, once in power, generally moves to make opposition to its policies progressively (hah) more difficult. In New York, New Jersey, and Michigan, the left has been in power for a long time, and the Republican Party is moribund.


So the number has gone from zero to four to seven, and many more are to come. “Every election cycle, we see more Muslim candidates — not fewer,” crowed Robert McCaw, the executive director of CAIR Action, the explicitly political arm of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). “That’s a clear indication of confidence, growth, and belonging,” McCaw exulted, although it would have been more accurate to say that the growth of Muslim political power in the U.S. is a clear indication of a concerted effort being made in the face of near-total ignorance and/or indifference on the other side.


Hamas-linked CAIR top dog Nihad Awad articulated that effort on August 31, 2024 at a convention of the likewise Hamas-linked Islamic Society of North America (ISNA). “Lawmaking,” he stated with equal parts obviousness and ominousness, “is about making laws.” Yes, of course, and that is why Muslims in the U.S. are seeking political power: the idea is to bring Sharia, which is not just religious, but political, supremacist, expansionist and violent, to the United States.


Awad continued: “Today we have 43 State delegates in the United States who are Muslim. If they want to run for Congress, in the next two or four or six years, they can. We may end up, if we are organized, we may end up with about 50 members of Congress in the next six years, if we only plan and put our money where our mouth and our minds are.”


The Muslim Brotherhood articulated the ultimate goal in a captured internal document dating from May 1991, “An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Brotherhood in North America.” It stated that “The process of settlement is a ‘Civilization-Jihadist Process’ with all the word means. The Ikhwan [Brotherhood] must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions” (p. 7).


The idea that the Westerners would destroy their own civilization “by their hands” comes from the Qur’an: “It is he who has caused those among the people of the book who disbelieved to go forth from their homes to the first exile. You did not think that they would go forth, while they thought that their strongholds would protect them from Allah. But Allah reached them from a place they did not expect, and cast terror in their hearts so that they ruined their houses with their own hands and the hands of the believers. So learn a lesson, O you who have eyes” (Qur’an 59:2).




From zero (0) to fifty (50) in only a few short years, and there’s no end in sight. Disgusting.

Notable Quotes


"America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards."
	
—Claire Wolfe, 101 Things to Do 'Til the Revolution



Claire's Cabal—The Freedom Forums

		
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."
—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."
—Dwight D. Eisenhower


"To put it simply, the Left is the stupid and the insane, led by the evil. You can’t persuade the stupid or the insane and you had damn well better fight the evil."
—Skeptic


"There is no better way to stamp your power on people than through the dead hand of bureaucracy. You cannot reason with paperwork."
—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.”
—Ronald Reagan


"Ain't no misunderstanding this war. They want to rule us and aim to do it. We aim not to allow it. All there is to it."
—NC Reed, from Parno's Peril


"I just want a government that fits in the box it originally came in."
—Bill Whittle
