This lackwit drivel.










Is Joe Huffman’s no-bull blast of plain common sense.




Your “horrifying if you believe in the First Amendment” drivel is the exact cognitive blind spot these cells exploit…weaponizing free speech as a get-out-of-consequences card for those who piss on it with bullets and bombs.


Brandenburg v. Ohio carved it out decades ago:


protected speech stops cold at incitement to imminent lawless action that actually happens. They didn’t just talk; they executed.


The Constitution doesn’t shield arsonists, shooters, or terror enablers any more than it shields Al-Qaeda sympathizers handing out bomb manuals.


This verdict isn’t chilling dissent; it’s lethal accountability, the kind that deters the next cell of ideologically poisoned fuckwits from turning public facilities into kill zones.


So spare me your performative horror, you fucking idiot.


The jury saw the pathology for what it was. The FBI built the case on it. And the law cut them down.


Cry harder, sweetheart.

With this Parthian shot tacked on for good measure.




It is interesting this person believes the First Amendment protects the destruction of government property and shooting a police officer with an AR-15. They must have crap for brains. With that broad of scope for the First Amendment, just imagine what the Second Amendment must protect. Why, it must protect the use of artillery dropping HE on the U.S. Capital or some such thing.




Hey, I’m okay with that interpretation, myself.

We live in the United States of America. (Most of us reading this essay. If you’re not American, you have my sympathies.)


“America” isn’t just the 3,500,000 square miles of the fifty states. (And the District of Columbia, but the district hasn’t really been American since the Roosevelt administration.) America is the 9,000,000 square miles of North America and South America. Can we honestly call ourselves the United States of America if the USA doesn’t cover the entirety of the two continents?


We need to do our expansion the right way, the American way. We expand into the territory we want and push out the natives. We can make promises that we don’t mean to keep if that will get them moving, but it’s probably easier to just kill everyone we see and drive the native populations ahead of us. If any make it to Tierra del Fuego, they can figure out how to swim.


What we do not want to do is do empire building the European way. History shows that keeping the native populations around as a workforce and customer base leads to nothing but trouble a few generations on. No, drive them off or kill them off. It’s the only way to be sure.


Only once the United States extends from the Arctic to the Antarctic will we truly be the United States of America.

Jurassic Media propaganda and the rest  of their Leftard partners in crime want you to think that Iran’s Mad Mullahs are kicking American ass and taking Israeli names—ie, that we’re exhausted, out of ammo, dispirited, mere minutes away from throwing in the towel and accepting another crushing defeat to the invincible Pisslamic horde.


As always, you can’t believe a word those serial liars say, nor shoud you.










In its entirety:




Since President Trump revealed contacts with the Islamic Republic, we’re seeing something very telling:


Regime officials are either turning on each other, pointing fingers, accusing one another of negotiating with the United States or in their own media and social platforms, they’re warning against character assassination of figures like Ghalibaf or Rouhani, because suspicion is spreading inside the regime itself.


Some are even calling for arrests or worse. Others are publicly shaming officials, accusing them of secret talks.


This is the atmosphere on the Islamic Republic’s side of social media. Total panic.

inside Iran: chaos at the top.




Is there more, you ask? Why yes, of course there’s more.










The rest of it:




This is an Iranian insider, openly warning: “Do not collaborate with the enemy. Do not assassinate Dr. Ghalibaf’s character.”


The infighting has gotten so bad, regime officials accusing one another of betrayal, right after president Trump said they’re talking to someone inside Iran.




PRO TIP: This is NOT the way a victorious national leadership typically conducts itself. The only sane, sensible response…

If ‘Lord of the Rings’ Isn’t Quite Dead, This Guy Can Finish It Off
The Fellowship of the Ring — the opening chapter of Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy, one of the greatest achievements in movie history — turns 25 this December, and since then, Hollywood has inflicted one indignity after another on Tolkien’s masterpiece. The worst may be yet to come.


What’s it called when the greedy mining company takes the tailings from its strip mine and runs them through the smelter one more time with all the reckless abandon of Gollum diving after the One Ring into Mount Doom?


Ah, yes — it’s called The Lord of the Rings: Shadows of the Past, and lame-duck late-night host Stephen Colbert will co-write it with his son, screenwriter Peter McGee, for Jackson and Warner Bros, which now owns New Line. Variety reported late Tuesday that Colbert, “a vocal Tolkien fanatic,” and McGee will write a screenplay “from chapters of The Fellowship of the Ring that didn’t make it into Jackson’s 2001 adaptation.”


Or as the movie’s official logline put it, “Fourteen years after the passing of Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin set out to retrace the first steps of their adventure. Meanwhile, Sam’s daughter, Elanor, has discovered a long-buried secret and is determined to uncover why the War of the Ring was very nearly lost before it even began.”


So Shadows of the Past won’t really take us back to 2001 and fill in the missing parts of Fellowship. It will take aging versions of Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin and saddle them with an all-new girl-boss.


Fan reactions on X range from “I’d rather jump into the fires of Mount Doom” to “What is this need to mar great artistic works with slop fan fiction manglings?” Despite my best time-wasting efforts, I was unable to find a single positive response.


Maybe Colbert is a vocal enough Tolkien fan to make this work. Or maybe Jackson and his crew should do what Saruman couldn’t, and just leave the Shire alone.




A big, fat AAAAA-fargin’-MEN to that, Steve.


Update! Ace puts in his two cents:




Disaster! Warner Bros. Hires New Writer for Lord of the Rings Mid-quel: Steven Colbert
—Disinformation Expert Ace


Good heavens, what an absolute disaster.


We have the Hunt for Gollum coming up, directed by Andy Serkis, who just remade Animal Farm as a pro-socialism, anti-capitalism message movie.


And now Warner Bros. has hired this absolute assclown to write a draft of what is being called “The Shadow of the Past.” The concept of the movie is not terrible: A good part of Fellowship of the Ring was cut out of the Lord of the Rings movies because of time restrictions and also because it contains the character Tom Bombadil, who is just a big ball of plot questions. Like, given that he has godlike power that makes even Gandalf and Elrond envious, why doesn’t he just take the ring? (Tolkien’s lame answer: Because he’s flighty and would eventually just forget about the ring and let it go back to Sauron.)


The reason this section of the book is worth possibly making a movie about is the creepy, scary encounter with the Barrow Wights. If you know, you know.


So Colbert, I guess, pitched the idea of doing these four chapters of LOTR as a stand-alone mid-quel movie.


Couldn’t they just have said “Yes that’s an okay idea, here’s $20,000 as a finder’s fee, now fuck off”?




Sure they could’ve. But being shitlibs, they’d have never, ever, dreamed of doing such a thing, thereby offering tacit insult to one of their most iconic Trump-deranged heroes.

ICE is large, in charge, and on the job

All the more reason for anti-American “liberals” to hate their guts, then.




Scott Jennings Shuts Down CNN Panelist’s Anti-ICE Rant With Single Question
(DCNF)—Salem Radio Network host Scott Jennings shut down former Department of Homeland Security Chief of Staff and “No Kings” agitator Miles Taylor Monday night by asking him one question about an arrest at San Francisco International Airport.


President Donald Trump on Saturday ordered United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to assist Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers who have been working without pay for over five weeks. Taylor complained about a Sunday arrest, which took place before Trump’s order took effect.


“Is there a single report today of something going awry with ICE agents… Maybe there is” Jenning asked before “CNN Newsnight” guest host Kasie Hunt responded, “Well, thank God, for 24 hours something didn’t happen.”


“There was. There was an ICE agent refusing to identify himself arresting a woman in an airport, freaking people out. They weren’t even sure. It was in San Francisco airport,” Taylor claimed, with Jennings responding, “Well, what kind of an interaction was it actually? Do you know the situation?”


ICE agents apprehended an illegal alien from Guatemala who tried to flee as the agency was trying to enforce a deportation order dating from 2019, according to a Monday post on X.




Bold mine, and entirely dispositive. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: if it weren’t for lying, shitlibs would have nothing to say at all.


Deport. Them. ALL. Reminds me of a minor hassle I had with a Hispanic Walmart delivery driver who couldn’t speak a lick of English. He couldn’t find my house even after I’d wasted nearly half a damned hour on the phone trying to walk the guy in turn by turn, finally ran across my place by sheer luck and/or actual magick. It was entirely obvious that the guy couldn’t read the street signs, and had no clue what I was saying.


Throughout this whole frustrating circle-jerk the halfwit kept asking me did I no hablar the español, until I finally got sick and tired of messing around with his dumb ass. I told him no, I most certainly did NOT hablar the español, that this was the United States of America, that we speak English in this country, and that if this was a problem for him he definitely needed to consider going back to wherever the hell he came from. After having had to deal with these immivaders dozens of times—screwed-up grocery orders, wrong and/or missing items, orders thrown out into the front yard of the wrong house several miles away, lather, rinse, repeat—I get where this FLA State Trooper is coming from.










Heh. THAT’S how you do it: shut ’em down; impound the truck so whoever hired this asshole for the driver job gets to share in the misery for a change; deport the driver; and throw the entire upper-level management of said corner-cutting trucking firm in prison for a 10 year stretch. Let the non-English-speaking trucker climb back into his rig with nothing more punitive than a citation written in a language he ain’t gonna understand, imposing a fine he ain’t gonna pay and setting a court date he ain’t gonna show up for, on the other hand, and soon enough Chico’s gonna kill a family of four when his (overweight, uninsured) tractor-trailer slams head-on into their subcompact struggle-buggy at 80MPH, whistling a peppy little conjunto tune as he motors happily along down the wrong side of the highway.


    


    




    



    

        
Invidious comparison

Feast your eyes on one of the smoking-hottest females ever to grace this Earth with her pulchritudinous presence: the stunning Ann-Margret.Ann Margret.


And now, try hard not to puke at the maggot-gagging sight of American Traitor Bitch Jane Fonda, mugging with her NVA pals and making goo-goo eyes at an enemy AAA battery.




Comparison? Ain’t none, if you ask me.


I remember reading someplace or other ages ago that somebody actually tracked down that same NVA flak battery some years after the Vietnam “conflict” had ground to an ignominious halt and established that one of the guns in the above pic had almost certainly brought down an American F105 “Thud” mere weeks before the Leftist tool Fonda mounted up, grinned lasciviously, and started humping the infernal thing, to the eternal delight of the camera-wielding press scoundrels nearby.


Thus was Hanoi Jane’s defining moment captured on celluloid, her disgrace enshrined indelibly, her reflexive hatred for America and everything it stood for placed well beyond the bounds of reasonable debate. Thus did a million zillion kajillion posters, T-shirts, bumper stickers, and patches come to be.


Ann-Margret Olsson was dubbed “the female Elvis” by their fellow cast and crew members when she and the King were co-starring in Viva Las Vegas; because of its aptness and unerring accuracy the nickname stuck.




Ann-Margret began recording for RCA Victor in 1961, first recording “Lost Love”. Her debut album And Here She Is…Ann-Margret was recorded in Hollywood, arranged and conducted by Marty Paich. Later albums were produced in Nashville with Chet Atkins on guitar, the Jordanaires (Elvis Presley’s backup singers), and the Anita Kerr Singers, with liner notes by mentor George Burns. She had a sexy, throaty contralto singing voice.


RCA Victor attempted to capitalize on the “female Elvis” comparison by having her record a version of “Heartbreak Hotel” and other songs stylistically similar to Presley’s. She scored a minor success with “I Just Don’t Understand” (from her second LP), which entered the Billboard Top 40 in August 1961 and stayed six weeks, peaking at number 17; the song was later performed by the Beatles in 1963. In 1962, Ann-Margret was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best New Artist.


Her only charting album was Beauty and the Beard (1964), on which she was accompanied by trumpeter Al Hirt. Other career highlights included appearing on The Jack Benny Program in 1961 and singing the Bachelor in Paradise theme at the 34th Academy Awards in 1962. Her contract with RCA Victor ended in 1966. In 1963, Life Magazine mentioned that her recordings had sold in excess of half a million units.




Ann-Margret was a far better dancer and/or actress than she ever was a singer, it must be admitted. But as a Female Elvis, she was not just the best ever, she was also the one and only.


Of course, Ann-Margret and Elvis Aron Presley embarked on a truly torrid love affair during the filming  of VLV which continued to smolder for quite a while afterward also. The Ultimate Celeb-U-Couple were the Toast of Tabloid-town until finally Ann-Margret faced up to certain hard realities: 1) that she would never be allowed to take Priscilla’s place; 2) that she was getting pretty bored with Elvis’s “helpless hermit of Graceland” schtick; and 3) that basically, there was no real future for her with Elvis beyond the unsatisfactory one she was already up to her comely clavicles in.


After doing the math, the incredible Ann-Margret strutted out of Elvis’s life and back into her own on those long, flawless gams of hers. Even so, the two maintained a solid, comfortable “just friends” relationship right up until the King’s August 1977 passing, making her one of the very few women in Elvis’s life to pull off that daunting feat other than Gladys “Satn’in” Presley and the redoubtable Ginger Alden, who first met Elvis when she was all of 5 years old, then at 20 dated him for two months before E popped the question and she responded in the affirmative. Margret also remained very close with her all-but-father-in-law Vernon, throughout the extended illness which plagued his last few years, until the heart attack which claimed his life in mid-1979.

It Gets Much Worse: Code Pink’s Cuban Commie Vacation Hits a New Low
On Sunday, I wrote about how Code Pink and a bunch of other worthless commies went to Cuba after they put together the “Nuestra América Convoy,” which describes itself as a humanitarian group but is really just some sort of anti-Trump, pro-Cuban regime operation. Cuba’s “president,” Miguel Díaz-Canel, rolled out the red carpet at a convention center, and then the group stayed in a five-star well-lit hotel. I say “well-lit’ because no one else on the island has power, yet oddly this hotel and convention center do.


The convoy also threw themselves a little concert — again, with plenty of electricity to go around — but this wasn’t some sort of opportunity for them to raise money for the Cuban people they claimed they were heading down to support or anything. It was an opportunity to shout things like “F*ck Trump” and “Free Palestine.” I have no data on this, but I’m guessing most Cubans don’t give two cents about Palestine at the moment. They just want electricity so they can eat, study, have water, and keep their sick relatives alive in hospitals.


Call it poverty porn. Call it a communist safari or theme park. Call it the poor people petting zoo. I’ve heard every name under the sun from the Cuban exile community here in the United States. The only thing I can think to call it is one of the most grotesque, exploitative spectacles I’ve ever witnessed.


First up is this guy Hasan Piker. I was not familiar with him until he decided to show up in Cuba and not only exploit the situation on the ground there, but broadcast his little podcast or livestream or whatever it is he does from the fancy hotel where he’s staying. I have since learned more about him and not just the fact that if you look up the term “punchable face,” you’ll probably find his picture somewhere.


The Marxist Piker was born in New Jersey to Turkish parents, but raised as a Muslim in Turkey. He’s 34 years old, he’s a far left influencer, and he has one of the most subscribed-to channels on Twitch. He’s a big Bernie Sanders fan, yet, like his idol, he’s worth millions and just wants socialism for everyone else. He was literally wearing a $700 shirt while he walked the streets. It would take the average working Cuban years to buy something like that.


He also apparently abuses his dog.


So, as I said, this dude decided to waste power by broadcasting from his Cuban hotel on Sunday and letting us all know that the Cuban people simply love having no food or power.


Allow me to share with you one of the most ignorant, privileged quotes I’ve ever heard come out of someone’s mouth:




And he does that thing, too. He’s spot-on as well when he says this Piker twatwaffle has the most eminently punchable face EVAR.










See? Pluperfect weedy, scraggly-ass cuntface, desperately in need of a solid right cross, woontchasay? The article carries on from there, and it’s as thorough a chronicle of douchebag “liberal” cluelessness, arrogance, and self-serving, entitled nastiness as you’ll ever see.


Update! Having approvingly mentioned Churchill earlier and all, I must note that Glenn has put the cherry on top:




“Socialism,” the great Winston Churchill said, “is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy.”


“Its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.”


In that last part, the prime minster got it wrong.


There’s misery aplenty in any socialist system, but in no sense is that misery shared equally.


Quite the contrary: Members of the ruling class in places like Cuba, North Korea or the old Soviet Union live wildly privileged lives compared to the “workers and peasants” over whom they rule.


That was illustrated this weekend — partly as tragedy, partly as farce — when a delegation of leftists from the anti-American Code Pink and other groups visited Havana to support Cuba’s totalitarian regime.




Plenty more yet, every word of it barbed like a porcupine’s back, and rightly so. Sad thing is, these shitlib drooltards will remain utterly oblivious to their own despicable patronization of Their Inferiors till their dying day, never once imagining themselves as anything other than courageous, generous heroes giving freely of themselves so as to help out the Little Guy. If somebody DID give that Piker twerp a well-deserved poke in the snoot one fine day, he’d never stop being flummoxed at why anybody would want to do such a thing to a swell guy like himself.

T’uqr takes the last step, goes full Nazi.




Tucker Carlson calls pro-Hitler Oswald Mosley one of Britain’s ‘great war heroes’
Mosley’s only crime, Carlson claimed, was being the leader of the ‘opposition party’ to Churchill


Controversial US podcaster Tucker Carlson has described Oswald Mosley, the pro-Hitler leader of Britain’s short-lived fascist party during the Second World War, as one of the country’s “great war heroes”.


Carlson further claimed this week that Mosley’s “only crime was being the opposition” to Winston Churchill, and that was why he was arrested.


Churchill, according to Carlson, was a person we are “required to deify”, but in fact was a figure who “presided over the imprisonment of his opposition party during the entire length of the war, and their families, and their wives.”


About Mosley and his party, he continued: “Their crime was being the opposition party and being disloyal and unpatriotic, they weren’t.”


Speaking in a video interspersed with images of Mosley doing fascist salutes, Carlson said: “The opposition party was led by a First World War war hero who fought not just as you know, a pilot in the sky but and in the trenches. [He was] one of the great war heroes, former member of parliament, the country ever produced. And he and his compatriots and their wives were interned without charges by Winston Churchill for the duration of the war.”


Mosley was not fact the then-leader of the opposition but founder of the British Union of Fascists (BUF), a minor party that never performed well in elections even at its height in the mid 1930s, and never won a seat in Parliament.



As per usual, T’uqr gets his timelines all jumbled up, commits several patent errors of fact without offering to correct himself, and just generally stomps around beclowning himself in most spectacular fashion.


Mosley was a hapless fascist boob; Churchill was a masterful orator, a bit too much the political animal for my tastes, but ultimately and incontrovertibly (however strenuously the Crackpot Right might wish it were otherwise) a great wartime Prime Minister who held Britain together and saw the England he so deeply loved through its darkest, most desperate hours.


As for T’uqr, he badly needs to do himself a YUUUUGE favor and just keep his mouth shut.

Sounds about right to me. But then, I’m inclined to be sensible like that, see.




Supreme Court sounds skeptical of late-arriving ballots, a Trump target
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court ‘s conservative majority on Monday sounded skeptical of state laws that allow the counting of late-arriving mail ballots, a persistent target of President Donald Trump.


A ruling, likely to come by late June, that bars counting ballots arriving after Election Day would send officials scrambling in 14 states and the District of Columbia, just a few months before the 2026 midterm congressional elections to change their ballot rules.


An additional 15 states that have more forgiving deadlines for ballots from military and overseas voters also could be affected.


The legal challenge is part of Trump’s broader attack on most mail balloting, which he has said breeds fraud despite strong evidence to the contrary and years of experience in numerous states. Trump has repeatedly claimed that his loss to Joe Biden in 2020 resulted from fraud even though more than 60 court decisions and his own attorney general said that argument had no merit.


The court heard arguments in a case from Mississippi pitting the state against Trump’s Republican administration and the Republican and Libertarian parties. At issue is whether federal law sets a single Election Day that requires ballots to be both cast by voters and received by state officials.




Via Ace, who adds:




It’s obviously just farming fake votes to steal elections in the unconstitutional overtime period.


And the Justices appear to believe that when the Constitution specifies an Election Day, it means AN Election DAY, not an election week or an election month or an unspecified election period allowing the printing of millions of fake ballots.


Trump has repeatedly claimed that his loss to Joe Biden in 2020 resulted from fraud even though more than 60 court decisions and his own attorney general said that argument had no merit.


1, that’s all false, and 2, this has nothing to do with the actual legal question at hand, which is: When the Constitution speaks of an (singular) Election Day, do they mean it or were they just joshing?


It’s amazing how leftwing communists routinely invent words and penumbras that don’t appear in the Constitution, but, when faced with the Constitution’s actual words, claim “Oh that doesn’t matter, that’s like 100 years old, man.”




“Amazing” isn’t quite strong enough to meet the case, but maybe that’s just cynical ol’ me talking.

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
