Words of wisdom

Posted on April 16, 2026April 16, 2026 by Mike 1 Comment

America’s GoAT USSC Justice (and it ain’t even close), the incomparable Clarence Thomas, says it loud and clear.

Clarence Thomas SLAMS progressivism as threat to Americans’ natural rights
Progressivism “requires of the people a subservience and weakness incompatible with a constitution premised on the transcendent origin of our rights.”

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas spoke at the University of Texas in Austin on Wednesday night and he lashed out at the horrible political philosophy of progressivism, saying that it’s anathema to the Declaration of Independence and the goals set forth in that document. He praised the ethos of the Founding Fathers and urged Americans to not be “passive spectators” in American liberty, but to uphold the Declaration of Independence.

He spoke about his career, realizing early on in Washington, DC, that he had to define his principles and their worth. “What are your principles worth to you?” He said he asked himself.

“My answer then was the same I would give today: they are worth life itself. What are those principles? They are the same principles in the Declaration. They were bequeathed to me by my grandparents and reinforced by my nuns and my faith.

“In God’s eyes, we are equal. We are all equally created in the image and likeness of God. We are all endowed with the natural rights to life, liberty and happiness. Our rights and our dignity are inherent. They do not come from others, and they do not come from the government. And our government derives its legitimacy and its authority from our consent. We do not derive our rights from our government.

“The primacy of our rights in relation to our government is crucial in reconciling the mortal words of the Declaration with our Constitution and our history. None of our rights come from the government.

“All of the government’s authority comes from our consent, and the structure and limited role of government is to assure that it does not exceed the authority to which we have consented or intrude on our natural rights. The Constitution is the means of government. It is the Declaration that announces the ends of government.

“The Constitution achieves this purpose by protecting our natural rights and our liberties from concentrated power and excessive democracy. Our Constitution creates a separation of powers and Federalism, truly for the first time in modern history, to prevent the government from becoming so strong that it threatens our natural rights.”

Preach it, sir. Gonna be a dark day indeed when Justice Thomas steps down and retires, not only for liberty-oriented Americans but for liberty its own self. Wise, steadfast, and clear-eyed; learned, eloquent, level-headed, and unflappable; steeped in the history, lore, and principles of our nation’s Founding; the man truly gets it, in a way that no other Justice ever quite has. Mere words can’t express how very fortunate Real Americans are to have him, particularly in these most parlous of times.

“Pride Month” is CANCELLED

About fucking time.

🚨 GREAT NEWS: Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee signs a resolution telling Pride Month to SCREW OFF, instead declaring June as “NUCLEAR FAMILY MONTH”

The left is LOSING IT!

“The nuclear family, consisting of one husband, one wife, and any biological, adopted, or fostered children, is God’s design for familial structure and has been the bedrock of society since the creation of the world,” the resolution says

Amazing decision.

It is that for sure. Which is kinda sad when you think about it; decisions like this one should be the order of the day—not “amazing,” not “extraordinary,” just part of the usual routine. And yet, somehow, here we all are.

Good on ya, Gov.

Update! Meanwhile, up in the People’s Republic of Taxachusetts:

Jeez-O-Pete. Bill Lee’s Tennessee and Massachew-zits are NOT the same, and for that denizens of the Volunteer State can be deeply, deeply thankful.

Odd couple

Posted on April 16, 2026 by Mike Leave a comment

As a girlfriend of mine used to enjoy saying whenever somebody said that about us: couple of whats, exactly? Straight from the shock-rocker’s mouth:

I BELIEVE this photo was taken at Groucho’s birthday party at the Polo Lounge. I first met him at a charity event Frank Sinatra had organised and we sang Lydia The Tattooed Lady, which was an old Groucho song from [1939 Marx Brothers film] At The Circus. My manager, Shep Gordon, looked after him in the later stage of his life, and for a period of time we were pretty good friends — we were kinda inseparable.

He was always great company, hanging around with him was just like being in a Marx Brothers movie, like being in Duck Soup. You’d go to lunch with him and he’d open the menu, call the waiter over and say, as loudly as he could, ‘What kind of drugs do you have?’, or, ‘Can I get some dope for my friend here?’

I’d say, ‘Shhh, you can’t say that, Groucho!’ But of course you never told Groucho that he couldn’t do something because that would just egg him on more. He enjoyed the sport of it all.

We’d be having lunch and he’d say, ‘Excuse me, I gotta go torture the maitre d”, and two minutes later the maitre d’ would be looking like he wanted to strangle him. There was never a dull moment.

He liked me because I could make him laugh: if you could make Groucho laugh that was something. He was a unique entertainer, in that he could do anything — he could sing, play guitar, dance, tell jokes — and he looked at me as that kind of entertainer too. There was a certain absurdity to both of us.

Groucho came to see one of our shows once, and said, ‘Alice is the last hope for vaudeville.’ He saw me in that same tradition he came from.

Groucho would host great dinner parties, but if you had dinner at his house you had to perform afterwards. Except not in your own chosen field: if you were a singer, you had to dance, if you were a dancer, you had to tell jokes. I’d have to sing a Bing Crosby song, not a rock song, Fred Astaire would have to play piano, Mickey Dolenz would have to dance. That made it funnier for everybody. Those were good evenings.

Even in his eighties he was as sharp as a tack. I’d come back home and he’d be chasing my 18-year-old wife around the living room wearing Mickey Mouse ears, or she’d be sitting in his lap. Sheryl would say, ‘Alice, he’s 86, what is he going to do?’, and he’d look up with a smile and a raised eyebrow. He was one of a kind, and I’m proud to have known him as a friend. He was a true legend.

Stumbled across the above whilst poking around here and there, my curiosity having been piqued by the lead item from yesterday’s Memezapoppin‘ post. The above-mentioned pic:

Awwww. Odd couple indeed, no?

These badass ROT-SEE cadets seem to have internalized the hard-to-take lesson that, with attacks committed by certain favored deranged-troglodyte groups (ie, Leftists, feral urban niggers, Moslems, AWFLs), decent folks have been in effect abandoned by the “proper authorities,” and are now fully and completely on their own. There will be no help coming, and therefore if they want to hold onto not just their uninjured hides but their very lives they’re just going to have to take matters into their own hands—in this instance, quite literally.

Kinda underscores the whole raison d’être of us 2A absolutists, don’t it?

The Retrologist’s Guide to Pizza Hut Classics
Plan your visit with this comprehensive list of locations

In 2019, Pizza Hut brought back its 1974 logo, banking on its nostalgic appeal. I figured that would be the end of it, just a simple marketing tactic soon forgotten. There were no plans announced to bring back the logo in stores, much less redesign the restaurants to look like old Pizza Huts from the chain’s heyday.

But with no fanfare whatsoever, that’s exactly what’s been happening. Pizza Hut has been taking legacy stores and converting them into “Classics.” The formula includes:

The old logo is used in pole signage as well as at the top of the (usually but not always) red-roofed restaurant. The pole sign features the addition of the word “Classic.”

The interior features cozy red booths and old-school Pizza Hut lamps.

Stickers featuring the long-discarded character Pizza Hut Pete are found on the door.

Posters feature classic photos from Pizza Huts of yore.

A plaque displays a quote from Pizza Hut co-founder Dan Carney, explaining the concept as a celebration of the brand’s heritage.

The GOOD news: I absolutely love this idea; I think it’s fantastic, and wish them every success with it. The BAD news: Hate to say it and all, particularly in light of the aforementioned good news, but Pizza Hut pizza just isn’t very good.

I checked the Morehead City PD’s Fakeberg page and no shit, it’s for real.

As I said to a cpl friends of mine earlier: I would drive a hundred MPH right through the middle of Morehead City just to get pulled over by that thing, then resist arrest so’s I could get a look inside. The cop-shop Wienermobile is not merely cool as some cucumbers, it’s fucking GLORIOUS.

Once upon a time, there was a lovely old song went a little something like this:

Now, down the years since it was written there have been many versions of this particular song cut by many artists, many of them females. I just used this one because, I mean, come ON, man, it’s Nat King Cole—of COURSE I did!

Which is not germane to the central point of this post; no, this remarkable story of marketing superdupergenius is.

Los Angeles Rams Cheerleaders
The Los Angeles Rams Cheerleaders are the official National Football League cheerleading squad representing the Los Angeles Rams team.

History
They were established in 1974 during the team’s original tenure in Los Angeles and were known as the Embraceable Ewes. The cheerleading organization became known as the “St. Louis Rams Cheerleaders” when the team moved to St. Louis, Missouri. Beginning with the 2016 NFL season, the organization changed its name to the “Los Angeles Rams Cheerleaders” to associate themselves with the recently relocated Los Angeles Rams football team. They also have their own television show by the name of LA Rams Cheerleaders: Making the Squad.

Heh. Bold mine, because I absolutely love it.

ICE is large, in charge, and on the job

Posted on March 24, 2026 by Mike

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

Posted on March 24, 2026March 24, 2026 by Mike

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.

RIP Chuck Norris

As ever, the fine folks at Jimmy’s Seafood in Baltimore say it for me, so I don’t have to.

Heh. Y’know, I am consistently bemused by those who insist that anyone with an adequate vocabulary should never resort to blue language, lest he make himself look doltish, coarse, or low-class thereby. Au contraire, mon frère! I have always maintained, and will always maintain, that in certain circumstances a rousing cuss word is no more nor less than the mot juste, the only way to be sure the job is done RIGHT. I’m happy to see that the Jimmy’s crew gets that too.

Did Trump just play that dumbass Tucker Carlson like a cheap violin? Hmmmm, could be, could be.

New Theory Emerges: Was the Supreme Leader Set up by a Leaker Named… Tucker Carlson?
Hmm. So Carlson admits he was “talking to people in Iran before the war.”

To whom was he talking — and what was he talking about?

Because we know he spoke directly to the leadership of Iran. Less than a year ago, he bootlicked Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian in an astonishingly powder-puff “interview.” And when a journalist (or whatever Carlson is) has relationships like that, he tends to use ‘em.

It gives you a competitive advantage: Access is power.

Furthermore, before the Iran War began, we know Tucker Carlson made numerous trips to the White House. Multiple outlets reported that Carlson was attempting to convince President Trump not to go to war against Iran.

Yet once war broke out, Carlson insisted Israel must’ve somehow talked Trump into it.

It’s all very intriguing, because one of the biggest mysteries of this war is, why the heck were the Iranian mullahs and their “supreme leader” so careless and stupid to meet all together in broad daylight? It decapitated Iran’s government.

Anyone with half a brain would’ve known how dangerous that was!

And now, finally, an explanation emerges.

Perhaps the reason why the mullahs and their “supreme leader” were lulled into a false sense of security was because Tucker Carlson told them that the president was bluffing: There were no strikes coming, so there’s nothing to fear.

Full disclosure: I don’t know for sure if this theory is true. Just like Tucker Carlson, I’m “just asking questions.”

But as far as conspiracy theories go, you’ve gotta admit, the pieces fit quite nicely.

Don’t they just. You can just about hear Trump laughing his ass off from all the way over here.

Never alone

A truly beautiful, beautiful thing.

‘This Is America’: Unclaimed Nashville Navy Veteran Laid to Rest; the Community’s Response Was Amazing
The older you get, the more you try to prepare for the eventuality that one day, you won’t be here anymore. You get your final papers in order, preplan for services, etc., with the mindset being that you want to make sure family members are taken care of, and that they won’t have to worry about paying for any final expenses.

I don’t know what U.S. Navy veteran Lonnie Dee Wayman, 74, was thinking in his final days, but on February 21, 2026, he passed away after receiving hospice care, with no friends or family to claim his remains.

On Monday, one day before Mr. Wayman was laid to rest, a call was put out to the citizens of Nashville, inviting them to attend his service to pay their respects.

“Join us in paying respect to Lonnie D. Wayman, a U.S. Navy Veteran, who will be laid to rest with full military honors,” read a post on the Tennessee Department of Veterans Services’ Facebook page. “He was an unclaimed Veteran with no known family, and we invite the public to attend his service and show gratitude for his service to our country.”

As videos and photos show, the outpouring of support was incredible…

The Gallatin (TN) Police Department also had representatives at the service, and shared this account:

Today the Gallatin Police Department had the honor of paying our respects and representing the City of Gallatin at the funeral services for Lonnie Dee Wayman.

A Nashville native, Lonnie was born on April 8, 1952, and passed away on February 21, 2026. Sadly, Lonnie had no family to claim him, but today he was not alone. Members of our community came together to ensure he was honored with the dignity and respect he deserved.

Lonnie proudly served our nation in the United States Navy, and he was laid to rest with FULL Military honors at Middle Tennessee State Veterans Cemetery.

We are proud to stand in respect for a man who served his country. No veteran should ever be forgotten, and today we made sure Lonnie’s service and sacrifice were remembered.

Rest easy, sailor. Your watch is complete.

Amen.

Amen indeed, Miz Toldjah. Your feel-good story of the day week month year, at the very least.

At last. At long, fucking last.

KISS Legend Gene Simmons: Celebrities Shouldn’t Lecture Americans About Politics
Legendary KISS bassist Gene Simmons continues to serve as a voice of common sense and reason in an entertainment industry currently experiencing an epidemic of Trump Derangement Syndrome. I already count myself as a huge fan of the band, and I got the opportunity to see them on their last tour, which ended up becoming my son’s first concert experience. Imagine your first show being a KISS concert. What a time to be alive.

Actually, it just so happens that MY first show was a KISS concert as well: in 1976, that was, the CLT date on the band’s Destroyer tour. Somewhere around here, I should still have my advanced-ticket stub from that show, resplendent with the world-famous KISS logo and the price clearly visible underneath: a whopping six (6) bucks. Back over to Gene for more of this incredible story.

The KISS co-founder launched into his rebuke after TMZ asked how he felt about actor and director Ben Stiller calling out President Donald Trump’s White House for allegedly using a clip from one of his movies in a “propaganda machine.” The interviewers then asked the bassist with the world’s longest tongue what he thought about Hollywood stars criticizing Trump. In true rock star fashion, he didn’t hold back.

“Yeah, because everybody in the world should listen to what actors and comedians say — because they’re so qualified,” Simmons said, his tone dripping with sarcasm. He then offered some pretty solid advice for stars in the entertainment field that they would do well to heed. “Basically, shut the f**k up. Do your art and shut up.”

Amen, brother! Look, celebrities can have their opinions on issues of the day. But when you work for the public — and they do — you should keep those thoughts to yourself and the people in your inner circle. Otherwise, you alienate your fanbase and hurt the work you’re trying to produce. We don’t need to hear your opinion on everything. Shocking, right?

Simmons then doubled down on his take, saying, “Nobody’s interested in your opinions — that includes me. Who the f**k do you think you are?”

The rocker added, “People in America work hard for their living and they don’t want to be lectured to by people who live in mansions and drive Rolls Royces.” This. So much this. The vast majority of celebrities are filthy rich and want for nothing. The rest of us “normal” people—the ones who form the spine of the country—have to work ourselves to death just to get by. We don’t want, nor do we need, out-of-touch celebrities telling us who to vote for or which issues matter. We already understand that.

“It’s time for everybody in the entertainment industry to shut their piehole and just do your art,” Simmons said. “Nobody cares what you think — I don’t.” Before the interview wrapped up, Simmons again mentioned Kylie Jenner and actor Mark Ruffalo with dripping sarcasm, highlighting how irrelevant their worldviews are to the public.

Well said, Mr Simmons, sir. The very last word, in accordance with Gene’s stated wishes.

I well remember that frabjous Thanksgiving day: the East Gaston High School band froze its collective keister off marching in the Carolinas Carrousel Parade, a seriously big deal for us in its own right, then everybody made a mad dash to get back on the buses, change back into street duds before we even got rolling, and scrambled on back to the dear old alma mater so we could race to our personal cars and zip back over to the big KISS concert at the old CLT Coliseum, for which the doors opened at 8PM.

Yes, you could fairly say KISS blew me away that night, why do you ask? 😉
