Stupid Leftist tricks

Not a lot to add to this.


If you tax them into penury, they will flee. As Stephen quips, they’re willfully turning themselves into a third-world nation, with all the peace, prosperity, and happy fun times that status implies. You’d think they’d know better by now, the stupid fools. After all, it’s not as if there aren’t instructive examples aplenty of where such idiocy always, always, ALWAYS winds up, they’re everywhere you care to look.

A circus of error

Very much related to tonight’s Eyrie post, I fully share Spencer’s disgust with the sudden, serious wrong turn on Iran.

Well, it’s another glorious day, or something. President Donald Trump’s threats against the Islamic Republic of Iran have apparently worked, a “ceasefire” has been concluded, and as he did when he forced Israel to stop fighting Hamas when it had a chance to destroy the jihad terror group once and for all, Trump is once again hailing the dawn of peace in the Middle East:

A big day for World Peace! Iran wants it to happen, they’ve had enough! Likewise, so has everyone else! The United States of America will be helping with the traffic buildup in the Strait of Hormuz. There will be lots of positive action! Big money will be made. Iran can start the reconstruction process. We’ll be loading up with supplies of all kinds, and just “hangin’ around” in order to make sure that everything goes well. I feel confident that it will. Just like we are experiencing in the U.S., this could be the Golden Age of the Middle East!!! President DONALD J. TRUMP

The Islamic Republic of Iran was likewise in a celebratory mood, and in its joyful exuberance, fired off a round or two of celebratory missiles and drones into Israel and the Sunni states that it has targeted since the beginning of this conflict. Fox News’ Trey Yingst reported that on “Ceasefire day 1,” Israel “took multiple waves of Iranian missile fire after the ceasefire was announced. Kuwait reports that more than two dozens drones were launched by Iran since 8am. UAE is currently under an Iranian missile attack. Iran, via state media, reports strikes against Lavan Island and the oil infrastructure there.”

At least eleven people were injured in Israel, and (Iran also) attacked Qatar and Bahrain as well as the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait. The government of Israel says it supports the ceasefire but only if it is real, which it obviously isn’t.

Well, I mean, DUH; of course it isn’t. None but a wilfully blind fool could possibly imagine that it was, and/or would ever be. As the esteemed Mr Spencer closes out his brief, straight to the point essay:

Without military action, which Trump will become progressively less likely to resort to as the midterms approach, the U.S. has no leverage.

If the Islamic Republic of Iran remains in power, it will build up its strength again and then resume its jihad against Israel and the U.S. That’s one of the only two reasons truces are allowed in Islamic law: one is if the Infidel enemy converts to Islam, which is not in play here, and the other is if the enemy is winning, so as to give the warriors of jihad time to regroup and then fight again more effectively.

The Trump administration, like so many others before it, should have studied Islam and realized that the Islamic Republic is serious about Islam above all. Then it would have known that when the Islamic Republic’s leaders showed a willingness to conclude a ceasefire, they were tacitly admitting that they were losing. It was time to press forward to final victory, not to stop fighting. And so another opportunity to rid the world of a jihad threat is lost, another chimera of peace is announced, and the jihadis will rejoice that they have survived to fight another day, as yet another Western government has kicked the can down the road instead of defeating them.

I truly hate having to say it, but that’s precisely what has happened here, to my eternal mystification and deep, deep disappointment. Bitterly clinging to the forlorn belief that this is all part of some Grand Strategic Plan is about as helpful as trying to polish a turd. To quote my own Eyrie piece:

Bottom line: as long as an Ayatollah, any Ayatollah (even one Trump idiotically assures us is a “reasonable” “moderate”), remains in charge of the nation-state entity known as “the Islamic Republic of Iran,” the war ain’t done yet.

Ah, would that t’were not so. But alas, here we all are.

Islamophobia is real

And, at least according to the theory propounded by the always-insightful Robert Spencer, that’s a good thing (bold mine, needless to say).

After Four Jihad Attacks in Two Weeks, Guess What It’s the International Day to Combat
Sunday, March 15 is the International Day to Combat Islamophobia, and the day couldn’t possibly have come at a better time. It looks as if it was planned this year specifically in order to demonstrate the fact that “Islamophobia” is a spurious propaganda concept designed to intimidate people into thinking it’s wrong to stand against jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women.

It’s the best possible time because there have been four jihad attacks in the U.S. in the last two weeks, demonstrating in the most vivid and indelible way possible that criticism of Islam is not only not a manifestation of “hatred” or “bigotry,” much less “racism,” but a healthy manifestation of a society’s will to survive.

Ladies and chunnelmens, those bells, horns, and wildly flashing lights mean that we have ourselves a WINNAH! Onwards.

The latest lessons in the dangers of “Islamophobia” propaganda came on March 1, when a Muslim migrant opened fire in a bar in Austin, Texas, killing three people and injuring 13 others. Then on March 7, two pro-ISIS Muslims screaming “Allah akbar” threw a homemade shrapnel bomb at a crowd of pro-freedom protesters in New York City. Five days after that came two jihad attacks in one day, when a Muslim crashed his car into a Michigan synagogue and opened fire, while another Muslim started shooting at Old Dominion University, murdering one person and injuring two others.

After all this, UN Secretary-General António Guterres wrote late on Saturday evening, “Islamophobia” Day Eve: “Muslims worldwide often face institutional discrimination, socio-economic exclusion, biased immigration policies & unwarranted surveillance & profiling. This International Day to Combat Islamophobia, let’s re-commit to the equality, human rights & dignity of every person, no matter their faith.”

Guterres’ statement was more noteworthy for what it didn’t say than for what it did. He had nary a word to say about the four recent jihad attacks in the U.S., or about any jihad attacks anywhere. In fact, for Guterres and other “Islamophobia” propagandists, there are no jihad attacks. Those who commit jihad attacks are by the very act of doing so rendered non-Muslim.

And so New York Gov. Kathy Hochul wrote on Sunday, barely more than a week after a couple of Islamic State jihadis tried to commit mass murder for Allah in New York City: “On this International Day to Combat Islamophobia, and at a time when fear and division are rising in many places, New York stands firm: Hate has no home here. Muslim New Yorkers strengthen our communities every day, and we will always stand together against Islamophobia.

Oh, I’m sure. Too bad you don’t seem to give much of a shit about standing together against Pisslamic terrorism—not even in NYC, which says nothing whatsoever flattering about the mouthbreathing chowderheads who persist in residing in the crumbling hellhole.

Update! Absotively, posilutely related, from the incomparable Mark Steyn.

The Ground We Surrendered
Alas, very few people are really “conservative”, which is why so little has been conserved – up to and including, ultimately, the continuing existence of the nation-states of the west. The killer of Brandon Shah checks all Senator Simpleton’s boxes – as, indeed, the killer of those poor Southport schoolgirls checks all Nigel Farage’s. Mohamed Jalloh emigrated from Sierra Leone and became a naturalised US citizen. An alumnus of Old Dominion, he subsequently joined the Virginia National Guard, so he’s not only a brother-in-arms of Colonel Shah but also one of those “seventy-two Virginians” we used to hear so much about.

Unfortunately, Mr Jalloh was “compelled to leave the US military” after he was discovered to be a big fan of Anwar al-Awlaki, the late “spiritual advisor” to the Fort Hood killer, three of the 9/11 hijackers and many others – oh, and also the author of the popular book Forty-Four Ways to Support Jihad. Mr Jalloh expressed his desire to pull off his own Fort Hood-style mass murder, and shared his admiration for the 2015 Chattanooga attack, when a gunperson killed four Marines and a sailor.

So the US military gave him an “honorable” discharge, rather than – as healthier societies would – a blindfold and cigarette. Like Ted (Cruz, in a Xweet Steyn embedded, but I did not—M) says: “Legal? Good. Illegal? Bad.” The senator is, in my limited experience, a pleasant enough fellow, but an unserious man who will cost you your country.

Thus, the year after departing the National Guard – 2016 – the legal and good Honorable Mr Jalloh was arrested for attempting to provide material support to Isis. In 2017 the prosecution agreed a plea bargain and asked for twenty years – so that would be 2037, right? But the Bush-appointed judge sentenced him to eleven, plus five years “supervised release” – which would bring us to …2033, is it? Also he was ordered to participate in a “computer monitoring program”.

But Mr Jalloh was out in 2024 and fortunately the federal probation office that supervised his “supervised release” supervises with such a light touch that Mr Jalloh was free to stroll into Colonel Shah’s classroom and kill him. Even the “computer monitoring program” does not – surprise! – appear to have worked.

Lest we forget, it was Steyn who encapsulated the bottom-line issue with the Pussified West’s supine (non-)response to jihadi terrorism, saying in essence: Why must it always be US who is expected to adjust OUR behavior, OUR lifestyles, even our physical environment, to accommodate these bloodthirsty troglodytes? THEY are the ones stabbing, bombing, gang-raping, and mass-murdering their way through contemporary Western Civ; THEY are the ones who steadfastly refuse to depart from their 10th-century beliefs and embrace modernity; THEY are the ones who have successfully overrun most of what once was the UK and Western Europe, remaking entire nations and/or cultures to suit their own ideology of conquest, brutality, and what was referred to in A Clockwork Orange as a bit of the old ultra-violence. Doesn’t all this sorta suggest that THEY’RE the ones who ought to be adjusting themselves to accommodate the rest of US?!?

Updated update! Bless their hearts, the Maori ain’t having any, thanks.


PREACH it, brothers!

Sleepers are GO!

Ace reports on the sudden spate of Moslem attacks, not just here but all over the world.

Another Muslim Terrorist Attack, This Time in Austin
Disinformation Expert Ace

We may never know the motive, authorities vowed.

The man wearing a “Property of Allah” sweatshirt, with an Iranian flag shirt underneath, and a Koran in his car, Culturally Enriched two Americans to death and wounded 14 others with diversity.

He was, of course, an immigrant and a criminal, allowed into the country by Bill Clinton and then granted citizenship by Obama.

I find this next vile insaniac’s perverse, nonchalant insouciance particularly maddening. From his expression, it couldn’t be more clear that he is rightly confident that he has nothing whatsoever to fear from the authorities; he is altogether invulnerable, they won’t lay so much as a finger on him no matter what. In fact, they are far more likely to offer him assistance, the grubby sellouts.


How it is that no sturdy Scot has yet stepped up to wipe that smug, self-satisfied smirk off this quasi-human obscenity’s face once and for all is altogether beyond my ken. But of course, this heartless half-man is a Moslem, so his bland indifference to the brutal slaughter of innocent children shouldn’t come as any big surprise to anybody. Noam Blum points out the truly intriguing aspect to all this.


Weird indeed. Every bit as baffling as every other jihadist murderer’s incomprehensible (according to the FBI, at least) motive. Allahu akhbar, infidel dogs!!

Fact is, these 10th-century running sores bring nothing of value to the Western societies they invade, overwhelm, and wreak violent havoc upon. We do not need them, we do not want them. In a better world, they’d all receive an official communique, to wit:

The government hereby notifies you that you are being given, at maximum, three (3) weeks in which you will gather your belongings and/or families, after which you must peaceably and permanently depart this country. Any belongings left behind, of any kind, will be categorized as Abandoned, Refuse, and/or Wastage, then disposed of in a safe, efficient, and appropriate manner which will neither damage nor disturb Mother Gaia’s flawless environmental and ecological balance. When the three (3) week grace period has expired, all remaining immivaders will immediately be hunted down, rounded up, and exterminated. We appreciate your attention and full compliance. That is all.

And then we’d need to see that it gets done, without any shucking and jiving, ducking and diving, or fiddle-fucking around.

In the shit

For the carrier Gerald Ford and its crew, all too literally.

One of the most formidable weapons in the Navy is its largest aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford. Reports are that it’s already within striking distance of Iran, if need be. At a cost of about $13 billion, you’d expect it to have everything needed to wage war in the 21st century, and it does. Except that it has one problem – its toilets are broken.

The most recent reports are that for a ship that houses a crew of over 4,000, there are only 650 toilets on board. Of those, more and more of them are just not working.

According to a recent article in Navy Times, “The complications primarily involve the Ford’s vacuum collection, holding and transfer system, or VCHT, which transports and disposes wastewater by sucking fecal matter through pipes using pressure.”

Reports are that the three big issues are: Ship designers simply didn’t plan on enough commodes for the size of the crew on the ship. This means 45-minute waits on a good day. The second issue is that the way the plumbing system is designed, if one valve for one toilet breaks down in that hinky vacuum collection system, all the toilets in that department stop working. The third problem is that most of the critical repair operations to the system can only be done when the ship is at port.

As more sailors rely on fewer toilets, this is expected to stress the system and cause even more shutdowns.

Not to even mention how severely stressed the sailors must be by it.

The Ford was launched in October 2013, and so if you want, you could blame the Obama administration. That’s always fun and appropriate, even here. But when it comes to the many years it takes, and all the people and companies involved in building a single aircraft carrier, there is probably enough blame to go around.

The Navy Times revealed that a 2020 Government Accountability Office report “pointed out that the sewage pipes woven throughout the [Ford] were too narrow to properly serve the flushes of the 4,000-plus crew members onboard… To unclog the toilets, the Navy has been forced to spend $400,000 per flush of a unique acidic chemical designed to flush out and unburden the strained pipes.”

So as reports spread of problems in the bowels of our largest aircraft carrier, the mullahs in Iran may be breathing easier for now… or maybe not.

Heh. I see what you did there, ya big turd.

No big deal, just the SOS

Surprised? Don’t be.

ISIS Issues a Call to Murder Tommy Robinson, But the Warning UK Cops Give Him Is Much Worse
The patriotic British activist Tommy Robinson revealed on Friday morning that he is “a priority target for ISIS!!!” He added: “I have now left the country, I need time to work things out for my safety and the safety of my family. I will probably have to relocate them. I will update you when I can.”

The news came in the form of a phone call from the Bedfordshire Police. A police officer told Robinson “we have seen intelligence that an ISIS publication has [been]… encouraging others to commit violence against yourself.” He went on to explain that this publication was called Yalgaar, and that the information he was giving Robinson “has come from our counter terrorists.”

When Robinson asked, however, if he could get a copy of this publication, the police officer said “Unfortunately not.” Robinson then asked if he went online and downloaded a copy, “Would that be a terrorist offense?” The officer replied: “I think it would be.”

The officer then said that he wanted to “remind” Robinson that “because of this information, it doesn’t authorize you to carry weapons, anything like that, take any pre-emptive action against others.” Robinson asked: “So I’m named in an ISIS manual to be targeted by ISIS terrorists, but I cannot have anything to protect myself.” The officer made clear that this was indeed the case.

This is a remarkable phone call, but utterly unsurprising. For years now, British authorities have acted as if Tommy Robinson were public enemy number one. As he stood against the migrant invasion that threatens to end Britain as a free society (as well as replace the native British people with foreigners who have no historical connection to the land) and spoke out honestly regarding Muslim rape gang activity and other issues that those authorities have shown themselves afraid to confront, he has revealed to the entire world the suicidal pusillanimity and cowardice of the British intelligentsia.

And so instead of offering special protection to Robinson in light of this Islamic State threat, as Salman Rushdie, Geert Wilders, Ayaan Hirsi Ali and many others have received after threats from other jihadis, the police officer who contacted him only warned him not to carry any weapons. It is an extremely odd thing to tell someone while you’re telling him about a credible death threat against him, unless, of course, the British authorities want Robinson dead as much as ISIS does.

The contemptible Brit “authorities” were making a statement (not merely to Robinson but to the entire world) about what is of primary importance to them: not that the filthy, primordial Muzzrats were gunning for Robinson, but that in the UK the right to defend oneself (responsibility, more like, or so I believe) no longer exists, assuming it ever did. Likewise, they wished to remind one and all that the disgraceful, spineless “authorities” do not intend to protect subjects of the badly tarnished Crown from the depredations of these scrofulous animals. They cared for nothing apart from getting this point across, be assured. Bottom line? Just this: hapless Brits don’t have to like it; they have to shut up and take it, that’s what.

And with that, I can’t imagine that I’m gonna have a whole lot more to say around here about the suicide of Once-Great, Now-Pathetic Britain. They are what they are, we all KNOW what they are, and it’s not going to change. Britain is now just another Moslem shitrapy, entirely and exclusively because the British people sat on their asses and allowed it to happen. Instead of getting themselves all het up over the admittedly sorry situation Over There, Real Americans must now focus their attention on seeing to it that it doesn’t happen here, before it’s too late. We’re much too far along that dismal road already.

If Tommy Robinson has half a brain in his head, and I very much hope he does, he and his loved ones will never set foot on British soil again, not for any reason whatever. Every true patriot feels a strong pull towards the land of his birth and his countrymen, of course, but the sad fact is that there’s not a damned thing he or anybody else can do to rescue the benighted UK now. Like Elvis, it’s gone and cannot be brought back.

Update! Not much reason for me to keep elevating my blood pressure with this kind of crap when Mark Steyn covers it so adroitly.

Rupert Lowe is doing a magnificent job with his “rape gang inquiry” – and, as I said a few days ago, it does my heart good to see our friend Sammy Woodhouse up there seated alongside him – as opposed to the last “inquiry” where the Government’s plan was to have Sammy seated next to Rotherham bi-guy rapist Lord Ahmed. That’s right: pre-Rupert Lowe, they were putting the rapists on the investigatory panels. I was going to call Lord Ahmed “Labour’s paedo peer”, but I realised that that doesn’t narrow it down much: see Sir Keir’s furious face at PMQs after Mrs Badenoch accused him of leading a ministry of “paedophile-apologists”.

Another aspect that has emerged in recent days is the complicity of Islamic women in the activities of their menfolk. As I gradually realised a decade ago, they are almost all aware that every chap in their household is participating in the gang-rape of certain white working-class girls – and they’re cool with that. After all, if you have to live among the hideous painted strumpets of the infidel, the girls might as well be put to use. So from The Daily Mail:

Labour mayor is found guilty of helping hide her son’s phone after he raped a 15-year-old girl

I had initially assumed, following the mayor’s tearful plea in court that a “mother’s love” had clouded her judgment, that the rapist was seventeen, nineteen or some such. In fact, as you can see from the photograph above, the kid was forty-one. At the time, he was serving, officially, as “Consort” to the Mayor. That’s some bollocks-type title equivalent to the use of “First Lady” in America, which is likewise bollocks and which I have never liked. But apparently “Consort” is its British and non-binary equivalent and, as our illustration makes plain, comes with its own impressive chain of “office”.

And in Berkshire, Diwan Khan, Consort to the Mayor of Bracknell Forest, while in-between municipal functions, enjoyed slipping drugs into the drinks of minors and then raping them. His fifteen-year-old victim woke up naked on the back seat of his car and wondered what had happened. So the Consort to the Mayor used one hand to choke her and the other to hold up his telephone and show her the video he’d taken of their romantic interlude. This is also a very Paki thing: most rapists are a little sheepish about evidence of their brutality. But, in the vibrant diversity of England, the thugs who violate your daughters like to make souvenir movies they can show to their friends, brothers, fathers, grandfathers, etc.

Do they also show them to Mum? When the police knocked on the door of Mayor Naheed Ejaz, she waited a minute-and-a-half before responding. She used that time to order her son – in Urdu, so the coppers could not understand – to hide his mobile.

Because she knew what Muslim men keep on their telephones.

She knew what the police would see if they found it – and apparently she could not be as sure of the indifference of Thames Valley Police as Mancunians, Yorkshiremen and Shropshire lads are of the indifference of the Greater Manchester, South Yorkshire and West Mercia constabularies. When the coppers had been admitted, both mother and son continued to speak in Urdu, avoiding the word “phone”, which is the same in both languages. So on bodycam video Diwan can be heard referring only to “the big bell”, to which the Mayor replies, “Keep quiet. I know.” The mobile has never been found.

Tellingly, Naheed Ejaz owned, and Diwan Khan drove for, a family taxi firm – because cabs are also central to control of the municipal rape-gang business. The Mayor has now been convicted of perverting the course of justice. But the family are old hands at perverting in a more general sense.

Post-Immivasion Britain has become so warped, so depraved, so mind-bogglingly decayed and distorted that it truly beggars belief. Winston Churchill wouldn’t recognize the place, and would surely be sickened unto death at seeing how very far the homeland he once cherished has fallen…as all decent, honorable people should be.

From the mouths of fools ofttimes comes Truth

Getting it yet? They’re just coming right out and saying it now, without the least dread of possible consequences or pre-emptive reprisal. And why the hell wouldn’t they? The supine Right’s passive (non-)response to the Enemy’s constant promises of violence, riots, and even murder has been a great deal less than whelming so far. Not even after the Violent Left has made good on said promises will the Blowhard Right bestir itself, retrieve Grampa’s dusty, rusty, musty old hunting rifle from the locked gun safe in the basement, and finally take definitive action in defense of his family, his home, his neighborhood, and even himself personally.

Is it cowardice? Is it laziness? Fear of the decidedly hostile authorities? Of arrest, trial, and incarceration? I haven’t the slightest idea what stays the Rightist hand, thus am NOT going to speculate on it for now. What I WILL say is that it’s been downright sick-making, watching all-hat no-cattle Right-wingers talk a big game, then rolling over to show their (yellow) bellies for their Leftist lords and masters whenever they get called out on their empty bluster.

Nolte: Sociopath Giancarlo Esposito Willing to See 50 Million (Other) People Die for His Revolution
Actor Giancarlo Esposito crystallized today’s Democrat Party by admitting he is willing to see people die to fulfill his revolution.This is a direct quote, per the far-left Variety, and these are the words of a narcissistic sociopath. Block quotes are Variety’s

This is time for a revolution — and they don’t even know that’s what they’re starting. We have to stand up to it. They can’t take us all down. If the whole world showed up on Putin’s doorstep or the Iranians’ doorstep or in Washington, they’d kill 500 or 50 million or however [many], but the rest of us would survive with a new [world].

Don’t you get it, you over-privileged, leftist dummies?

Do you not see it?

You bored, spoiled brats attempting (to) fill the God-shaped hole in your soul by attacking law enforcement, destroying private property, and provoking violence are nothing more or less than cannon fodder to Democrat Party elites like Giancarlo Esposito.

Right enough, although the people most in need of being forced to open their eyes and finally “see it” aren’t the bullet-stopping blockheads of the Left, but the putative Righties who prefer to remain comfortably numb to the Coming Upleasantness©—weakly shrugging off  the scads of clear, irrefutable evidence heaping up in man-high hillocks, like snow during a NYC blizzard, right before their own lyin’ eyes. The detestable dolts act as if said evidence doesn’t even exist, never has done, nawssirree.

Which, perhaps it doesn’t…for them. Maybe they’ll change their tune when observable reality whirls around and bites them square in the ass.

Mobocracy

Don’t look now, but we’re living in one.

The Moral Blackmailing of the American People
In Springfield, Illinois, in 1838, a young Abraham Lincoln delivered a powerful speech decrying the “ravages of mob law” throughout the land. Lincoln warned, in eerily prescient fashion, that the spread of a then-ascendant “mobocratic spirit” threatened to sever the “attachment of the People” to their fellow countrymen and their nation. Lincoln’s opposition to anarchy of any kind was absolute and clarion: “There is no grievance that is a fit object of redress by mob law.”

Unfortunately, it seems that every few years, Americans must be reminded anew of Lincoln’s wisdom. This week’s lethal Immigration and Customs Enforcement standoff in the Twin Cities is but the latest instance of a yearslong baleful trend.

On Wednesday, 37-year-old “queer activist” Renee Nicole Good was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis. Good, who had barricaded her vehicle in an attempt to obstruct an active law enforcement operation, ignored agents’ requests to exit the vehicle and instead directed her car at one of the agents. Good actually then hit the agent, who was briefly hospitalized for his injuries. But before she could do even more damage, the agent shot and killed Good. The federal government has called Good’s encounter “an act of domestic terrorism” and said the agent shot in self-defense.

Suffice it to say Minnesota’s Democratic establishment does not see it this way.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey responded to the deployment of 2,000 immigration agents in the area and the deadly encounter by telling ICE to “get the f*** out of Minneapolis,” while Gov. Tim Walz called the shooting “totally predictable” and “totally avoidable.” Frey, who was also mayor during the George Floyd-inspired mayhem of 2020, has lent succor to the anti-ICE provocateurs, seemingly encouraging them to make Good a Floyd-like martyr and riot accordingly. As for Walz, he’s right that this tragedy was eminently “avoidable” — but not for the reasons he thinks. If the Biden-Harris administration hadn’t let in untold millions of unvetted illegal aliens, and if Walz’s administration hadn’t conveniently overlooked hundreds of Minnesotans — of mixed immigration status — defrauding taxpayers to the tune of billions of dollars, ICE never would have embarked on this particular operation.

Liberals and open-border activists play with fire when they so casually compare ICE, as Walz previously has, to a “modern-day Gestapo.” The fact is, ICE is not the Gestapo, President Donald Trump is not Hitler, and Charlie Kirk was not a goose-stepping brownshirt. To pretend otherwise is to deprive words of meaning and to live in the theater of the absurd.

But as dangerous as this rhetoric is for officers and agents, it is the moral blackmail and “mobocratic spirit” of it all that is even more harmful to the rule of law.

Most of us assumed this dispute had been settled once and for all by the early spring of 1865, but apparently we were mistaken.

What I most want to know at this juncture is why in the ever-lovin’ blue-eyed world is Tampon “Timmeh” Waltz, after doing everything his little pea-brain can come up with in the way of fomenting insurrection against the US federal G in his sorry-ass State, has not been locked up under multiple charges of treason already.

The underlying problem  all along has been that self-dramatizing Leftist morons have been getting away with personal threats, acts of violence against individuals, arson, looting, and wanton vandalism without ever facing Consequence One for any of it. They snarl ferociously about the supposed “evils” of private property, capitalism, and White People generally but have never been called out for any of their patent hatemongering. They must be forcibly made to understand that the Left’s permanent Get Away With It© card has been revoked, so their usual schtick is just liable to get them ventilated from here on out, as should have been the case all along.

Sorry, shitlibs, no more blanket Leftard Exemption for you. The days of having everything your own way are done. Things are different now, and I promise you ain’t gonna like it. In the immortal words of the great Curtis LeMay:

It’s a damnable shame that it’s come to this, but as I’ve told y’all about a blue million times: WE didn’t ask for it, WE didn’t want it, WE didn’t start it. THEY did.

Update! Number One with a bullet on the (S)Hit List.

Smarmy, smug, obnoxious, unlikable, as always. Also just dumb as a box of hair, too.

Updated update! Brother Billy has hisself an idear, and I gotta say I really, REALLY like it.

So I was thinking
A lot of mentions and RUMINT is that there are NOT enough cops out there to do what needs to be done, and that the White House is, per the usual, dithering on #TIA1807 (ie, the Insurrection Act of 1807—M) because smol-hats and ‘reasons’. OrangeManBad doesn’t WANT to be remembered for invoking the act (even tho right now, he really needs to, if only in Minnesota) and deploying Active Duty Troops.

Cowardly as all get out IMO
HOWEVER -I- thought of something. Remember the talk about granting Letters of Marque a few back BEFORE we snatched Maduro? I got idea… an utterly brutal and completely ruthless idea.

Why not just deputize ANY and ALL Veterans who want to volunteer, under a limited Contract, similar to what was done in Iraq. The DotMil didn’t have enough troops to run convoy escorts for quite a spell, so Blackwater stepped in, and did it quite well. Make it that Prior Contracting experience is a plus, and give us very liberal and open-ended Rules of Engagement.

Shoot First, For God Will Know His Own.

As well as enough Federal Legal Coverage that every. single. shoot. will be considered a “good shoot” and the trigger puller in question doesn’t get prosecuted after the fact at the State Level, due to the Federal Primacy Clause.

Also keep a metric shit-ton of irrevocable blank Presidential Pardons on hand…

Just in Case of later DemoncRat Fuckery years later.

I almost guarantee after the first 200-300 stupid fuckers get shot in the head that this shit’ll end so quick it make Soro’s head spin. And oh yes… Give a list of PRIMARY TARGETS that NEED to be “harvested” for the greater good. I’m pretty sure putting a bounty of $1 Million USD on Alex Soro’s head would attract enough attention to remove him and his Dad from the board. Even if he flees to the EU… lots of people there getting mighty poor and hungry these days from what I heard… for the E.U., make it $100 million, so they have enough to possibly even tempt the Soros Bodyguards on turning on him…

Now wouldn’t THAT be a kick in the head.

What’s the big idea?

Vivek Ramalamaswamabamadingdong has some peculiar ideas of his own.

As it’s our final show of the year, I’d like to keep it a little more focused than usual – and concentrate on the existential question now facing some of the oldest continuous states on earth: what is a nation? At AmFest and in The New York Times, Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy returned to his contention that America is an “idea” and, if you’re onboard with the “idea”, you’re as American as anybody else. One might formulate the “idea” as a “dream”, as Vivek does:

It is called the American Dream for a reason. There is no Canadian Dream. There is no British Dream. It sounds kind of goofy to say it. There’s no Chinese Dream, okay?

There is, however, a Somali Dream – of moving to Minnesota and opening a state-funded daycare.

On the right one can find opponents of all this dreaminess, but Vivek has no time for them and is reading them out of the movement:

I think the idea of a heritage American is about as loony as anything the woke left has actually put up. There is no American who is more American than somebody else.

So a Daughter of the American Revolution is no more American than the daughter of a Minneapolis daycare owner. This would come as news to the fellows who wrote the Preamble to the US Constitution in order to “secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity”. Which, oddly, seems to be how the Somali fraudsters look on it, if you substitute “Blessings of Public Funding” for “Liberty”.

One notes that America rose to global dominance during Calvin Coolidge’s four-decade immigration “pause”. Since then, alas, the US has been busy not only “proposition”-ing itself into a one-way ticket on the oblivion express, but exporting that proposition to the rest of the west’s hitherto conventional “ethno”-states (a qualification that should not, strictly, be necessary), to the point where countries no one thinks of as “nations of immigrants” are about to see their native peoples dispossessed of their ancestral homelands – Sweden and Austria, for example.

Meanwhile, in the United Bleephole, Keir Starmer made it his “priority” to bring “back” to the country a “British” “citizen” who had been gaoled in Egypt for the crime of …well, I’ll let Sir Keir, a man entirely without irony or self-awareness, explain it…

Follows, a truly spectacular blast of multiculti Tourettes from Blightey’s all-time worst PM, after which Steyn picks up the thread again.

The “Briton” in question is a man who believes in the “extermination” of white people, which is apparently no obstacle to all the most eminent white people, from beloved “national treasures” – Bill Nighy, from Love Actually; Judi Dench, M from the Bond films; my old Loose Ends colleague Stephen Fry – and all the most deservedly reviled “right-wing” Conservatives – Sir Iain Duncan Smith – demanding he be brought to England to live at public expense.

It would be rather funny, don’t you think, if his “extermination” of white people began with those listed above…but, if it goes as it usually does, I expect he’ll get you instead.

And should you show fight or attempt to resist in any way, you will be bunged into chokey for the duration, after which the entire episode will be whitewashed, swept under the Establishment rug, and studiously forgotten—by the media, by the cops, by the government, by your neighbors,  by pretty much EVERYBODY, really.

This is the round-robin process by which shithole countries become shithole countries, see.

Nope, you’ll bend over and take your medicine without complaint if you know what’s good for ya, chum, or, y’know, else. It’s the same old story, with the same old denouement, namely:

To repeat: in the next decade-and-a-half, there will be nothing recognisable as the western world absent the deportation of tens of millions of people.

And as we all already know, the Western world will just have to grin and bear it, because said mass deportations—although eminently justified, appropriate, lawful, and reasonable—ain’t ever gonna happen. Seriously, people, how could they, when the selfsame maefactors responsible for bringing them in would also be responsible for booting them out?

In the end, we’re left with the same old conundrum, as expressed in another spot-on Steynism which posits that this mishegas isn’t any kind of mistake, misfire, or miscalculation. No, this is how things are because this is how our Lords and Masters WANT them to be. It isn’t merely happening to us; it’s BEING DONE to us—on purpose, with malice aforethought.

Update! Ace has plenty more on the execrable Starmer’s pet “cultural enricher,” and it’s every bit as bad as you’d expect, maybe even worse.

The UK just welcomed back a true Cultural Enricher who had previously been arrested in Egypt.

The UK actively campaigned for his release and his return to England.

The man routinely calls for the murder of Jews and “colonialists” of all kinds as well as for more “suicide bombings” and more murders of police.

He routinely declares how much he hates “white people” and how they, get this, need to be killed and dominated.
Oh and he also declared his intent to “take over ur towns and rape ur women.”

But I mean that’s obviously just a “joke,” as he says now. No Muslim migrants would ever take over British towns or rape British women. Obviously he’s just being satirical or something.

As is his wont, Ace’s mordant wit is astute enough, piercing enough, to incline me to just go ahead and laugh along with him. But in a very real sense, there’s nothing whatsoever funny about the situation.

Updated update! From the last Xweet Ace includes in his post:

NEWS: Egypt are planning to revoke the citizenship of Alaa Abd El-Fattah so he will be stuck in the UK

Sources inside the Egyptian Government have said this is to embarrass Keir Starmer and warn Britain not to pressure Cairo over human rights-related cases in the future

HUH. Kinda interesting, no? Looks like our own perfidious Powers That Be aren’t the only ones working a plan here.

The ongoing European disaster

 Tragedy, both historic and contemporary.

Europe’s Unending Tragedy
There are times when Europe succumbs to an urge for self-destruction that defies rational explanation. The Thirty Years’ War provides a particularly tragic example. It went on long after its early instigators and key participants were all dead. Rational actors could have brought it to a close well before it entered its most destructive phase in the 1630s, yet the leaders’ ability to strike a balance between ends and means was lost to audacity, fear, greed, and fanaticism.

That war became infamous for its violence even before the Peace of Westphalia. In subsequent decades, Europe experienced several armed conflicts, but they were limited wars for limited objectives, fought within the balance-of-power system by adversaries of similar temper and mindset.

The “Second Thirty Years’ War” started with the lights going out all over Europe in 1914. It ended in 1945, with the continent in ruins, physically and spiritually. Its subsequent economic recovery was impressive, but the old intellectual and moral vigor was gone. This is especially evident in the low quality of the political class. No European leader of our time comes even close to the stature and vision of Charles De Gaulle or Konrad Adenauer, or even of their early successors. As a result, eight decades after the Red Army marched into Berlin, Europe’s politicians are displaying the same old mix of audacity, fear, greed, and fanaticism. It has the potential to result in a new, truly final, catastrophe.

Disagree. Actually, history shows us that humans are resilient and resourceful enough that NO catastrophe, however severe or crushing, is ever truly “final.” That said, though, whatever emerges from Europe’s “final catastrophe” might not necessarily be anything the rest of Western Civ could recognize as remotely European.

After President Donald Trump started America’s gradual disengagement from what he has termed Biden’s war, the European Commission in Brussels and the governments in Berlin, Paris, and London formed the “Coalition of the Willing,” an ad hoc alliance effectively devoted to defeating Russia. Its major protagonists—German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, French President Emmanuel Macron, and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer—present the conflict with Russia as an existential test of resolve. “Ukraine’s future is our future,” Starmer said in October.

The coalition maintains that Ukraine must be restored to its late-Soviet-era borders, including the Crimea; that Russia must pay for its reconstruction, with the EU and Britain preparing to seize its frozen funds under their control; that Kiev should be free to join NATO and to bring foreign troops to its territory; and that alleged Russian war criminals must be brought to “international justice.” These demands are presented as nonnegotiable, with the implication that eventually Moscow will be compelled to sign on the dotted line by force of arms.

By insisting on what amounts to Russia’s surrender, the EU and major European governments are painting themselves into a corner. The resulting mindset was epitomized by Merz, who declared last September that “we are not at war, but we are no longer at peace, either.” Last May, he pledged to make the Bundeswehr the “strongest conventional army in Europe.” Germany’s defense expenditure rose by 28 percent last year to $90 billion, making it the world’s fourth-largest military spender. Annual spending is planned to double to at least $175 billion by 2029.

Lots more to this piece yet, of which you’ll want to read the all.

Shit circus

Since everybody’s talking about Somalia and Somalis these days, here’s some seriously gripping stuff straight from the mouth of a man who was there, right in the thick of things.

Via Tactical Hermit.

Update! Probably shouldn’t even bring this up, but we had a HUGE CF fan and regular reader who also happened to be one of the Blackhawk pilots caught up that day in the chaotic maelstrom of intrepid warriors left to twist in the wind by careerist senior officers, conniving DoD rumpswabs, and vacillating, cowardly ProPols—an old, old story all too familiar to every US serviceman, from whatever branch, conflict, and/or era.

Anyhoo, I corresponded with this fella regularly for several years, got no idea where he might be now though. The inside stories of flying Blackhawks in both Mogadishu and elsewhere he related to me over those years I will NEVER forget, although he did make me solemnly swear not to say a word about it lest he wind up court-martialed for revealing classified informaion to a cake-eating civilian.

The Blackhawk Down saga is a heartrending revelation of how very far America had fallen by then—a downfall which has only worsened in the years since. If you haven’t seen the movie, you really, really need to correct that immediately. It will depress you, it will enrage you, it will discomfit and disturb you…but the incredible courage of those valiant American fighting men foolishly, callously dropped into the pot by so-called “leaders” unfit to carry their fucking jockstraps will amaze you no end. By the end of the flick, it’s the casual, dauntless bravery of those warriors that stays with you.

And if you didn’t already loathe and despise Jimmeh Peanuthead, I guar-on-damn-TEE that you will after watching this intense, perfectly-crafted movie. While we’re at it, fuck that goddamned brother-humping Ilhan Omar cunt-fart all to Hell and gone, too. Calls for a re-post of this timely classic, I do believe.

Heh. Make it so, Number One.

Echoes

It’s more than just my vanity talking when I say this dude sounds a lot like me.

Apocalypse Now?
I am not prone to doomsday thinking, but neither am I unrealistically optimistic. When President Trump won the election for a second term (against overwhelming odds) in 2024, I understood that the nation had not been “saved” from the radical Left’s destructive policies; we had merely gotten a reprieve. Still, events this year, since Trump 2.0 took office, make me wonder if the polity is too divided, too debased, too indoctrinated, and too detached from “traditional American values” to survive as a democratic republic committed to the rule of law. For the first time in my life, I am concerned about the survival of the United States—not from a foreign threat, but from within.

Blue states and blue cities that had declared themselves “sanctuaries” for the millions of Third World invaders have now become the epicenter of a secession-like resistance to the enforcement of federal immigration law. Democrats’ frantic efforts to demonize, obstruct, and endanger ICE, with the active assistance of rogue judges, amount to an insurrection. Democrats seek to prevent the deportation of, and to grant de facto amnesty to, the millions of illegal aliens who flooded our borders under Biden—foiling our immigration laws. The only possible explanation is that Democrats hope to transform the electorate with Third World detritus, to whom they intend to grant de jureamnesty (and voting rights), thereby ensuring perpetual political control by presiding over the resulting welfare state.

This is not new—indeed, it has been going on for deacdes in California–but I had hoped the American public would rise up and oppose the Democrats’ Kevorkian-like national assisted suicide when it became apparent that importing the Third World was a conscious strategy to ruin America. Just look at the Somali enclaves in Minnesota and the Muslim enclaves in Michigan. They did not happen by accident. The massive influx of illegal aliens with foreign customs, attitudes, and beliefs—unwilling to assimilate and hostile to our culture–erodes the civic glue that binds us together as Americans. Thus, blue city voters elected a socialist pro-Palestinian Muslim as mayor of New York City, and the radical Left’s reaction to the assassination of a National Guard member by an unvetted Afghan refugee in the nation’s capital is to blame President Trump for deploying the National Guard.

Where is the outrage at widespread predation and fraud by foreign invaders?

Isolated in whatever tiny pockets of old-school Real Americanism that still exist, that’s where. Which indicates that the only realistic answer to the question posed in Pulliam’s title is that, much as we may need one right about now, there is in fact no “apocalypse” coming, neither in the short nor the long term.

Apocalypse now? Apocalypse NEVER, more like.

Lots more yet and, grim and depressing though it surely is, you must read all of this one, folks.

Civics primer

A civics lesson in movie-review mufti.

Constitutional purists, in the main, adhere to the judicial philosophy of ‘originalism.’ That is, they do not believe the Constitution and its Amendments are evolving or subject to change in meaning based on the mood of the times. They try to understand the contemporaneous intent of the words by those who wrote them.

Those of us of a certain age will likely think this just too durned obvious for words, while for most of you young whelps out there it will probably come as real news.

Another civics lesson, complete with obligatory CF-style digression, that’s been languishing in the “Local Drafts” folder for a goodish while now, presented in full below the fold.

“We messed up”

Cracker Barrel execs play the Contrition card. But might there be more to all this than meets the eye?

Few stories grabbed national attention quite like the Cracker Barrel rebrand did this year. Even amid endless high-profile developments in Washington, the Cracker Barrel rebrand stood out as offensive to Americans everywhere.

Like Bud Light’s partnership with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney, Cracker Barrel’s new look felt like an attack on an American institution from an out-of-touch C-suite that bought into the leftist idea of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. The backlash was so severe that the company publicly slammed the brakes on their modern makeover and promised Americans they weren’t changing a thing.

Despite this course correction, it was clear that someone at the top had lost the plot, and when Cracker Barrel shareholders voted for board nominees, DEI consultant Gilbert Dávila was not one of them. As I reported on Thursday, Dávila resigned from his position.

Nice that the clueless Wokester shit-slurper is gone and all, but come ON now: the Executive Suite screws the pooch this badly, and all the CB brain-trust can manage is to dump one lousy consultant over it? Looks like the ol’ Barrel is still et up with the dumbass at the higher levels.

That said, here’s where things start to smell a little funny.

Now, Cracker Barrel CEO Julie Felss Masino, who survived the shareholder vote, is sitting down for interviews, and her first is with Glenn Beck.

In an interview that took place at a Cracker Barrel location, Beck asked them directly what happened to lead them to such a “stupid” decision, comparing it to Coca-Cola’s “new recipe.”

“Our guests have a right to be upset,” Masino told Beck. “We messed up. The intent was not ideological. It was not to put the old version of Cracker Barrel in a box. It was not the intent whatsoever.”

Later, Beck went on to ask if the company had “embraced DEI as a culture.” Masino, seemingly giving the most sterile answer she could, told Beck that Cracker Barrel has always tried to be a welcoming place for everyone. Thankfully, Beck pressed the question by asking if political statements were intended from the rebrand.

“No, it’s pancakes,” said Masino.

I find it very interesting that the conversation was steered into what Cracker Barrel was doing wrong in terms of their food and service by Doug Hisel, the Senior Vice President, who also took part in the interview.

Which jibes rather nicely with all the other stuff I’ve read saying that Cracker Barrel was hemorrhaging customers, employees, and money thanks to ever-crappier food, unclean restaurants, insolent, glacier-slow service, etc well before the ill-considered rebrand ever happened. Which kinda tells me that CB high muckety-mucks have had nothing but disdain, dislike, and outright animosity for their most diehard, core customers for a goodish while now, and almost certainly still feel the same way. Which, in turn, means that Cracker Barrel’s troubles and woe aren’t by any stretch over yet.

If Masino is telling the truth, and this rebrand wasn’t at all DEI-driven, then it was incredibly short-sighted at best. However, it’s pretty clear that Cracker Barrel was involved in DEI-related activities and was becoming increasingly friendly with leftist causes. As Fox News reported through an interview with Robby Starbuck, the restaurant chain kept adopting more and more LGBTQ+ themes…

And now, we come to the main reason I wanted to post on this in the first dang place. Ready, everybody?

Starbuck highlights Cracker Barrel’s support for LGBTQ+ organizations and events, such as Nashville Pride, River City Pride and the Human Rights Campaign (HRC).

He also noted that the company displayed rocking chairs with rainbow colors and LGBTQ+ insignia. The company even went so far as to place one in its Tennessee corporate office. Rocking chairs are practically synonymous with Cracker Barrel, with the restaurant’s long porches lined with them at locations nationwide.

“The fact that it’s located there is important to this story because what’s happened here is a microcosm of the parasitic operating procedure of left-wing activists,” Starbuck said. “They don’t just wanna force their soulless, godless, hedonistic vision of the future onto blue hellscapes that their party controls.

“No, it’s much more important to them that they shove it down into your towns, into your kids’ schools and into your way of life. So, sticking a pro-trans rocking chair into their headquarters in a predominantly conservative town is exactly the type of thing they revel in doing.”

Oh, HELL yeah—nice rip, Rob. Bold mine, natch, because that shit just rocks.

Up-down Innarnuts

Interesting prediction from Mark Steyn.

The Shrinking Horizon
Apparently, some twenty-five per cent of the Internet was inaccessible for much of the day – including (depending where you were) significant parts of the Steyn empire. Get used to it. A few years hence, “surfing the net” is going to be like switching on your kitchen light in Baghdad outside the Green Zone. This will be because China and other hostile powers will enjoy messing with us just to probe our strengths and weaknesses. But it will also be because the west’s own governments will appreciate the advantages of a more conditional Internet. Let us say that, oh, multiple schoolgirls get stabbed in Southport or Dublin. Or another couple of French schoolteachers are beheaded by their students. Or two German Christmas markets get mown down on the same day. Just in case some intemperate Lucy Connolly types are tempted to weigh in, would it not be in everyone’s interest for social media to be mysteriously afflicted by a Distributed Denial of Service?

Hate to say it, but put this way it sounds not nearly so far-fetched as I could wish.

You’ll want to read the rest, it being Steyn and all. The bit towards the end about the sudden meteoric rise in the number of mosques in Texas (!!) will freeze your gizzard, so chilling is it. Steyn keeps things light by reeling off a punny quip:

So a new mosque opens in the Lone Star State every fortnight? We are told “don’t mess with Texas”, but apparently you can mosque with Texas to your heart’s content.

Heh. Yep, apparently so. Which just makes Texas exactly like all too many other places in the Recumbent West these days.

"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.
