Coulterville

Such a country in the city.

Coulterville is on Hwy 49 about an hour and 15 minutes to the east of my place in Riverbank City of Action.

I had a placer claim there on Maxwell Creek just off of Dogtown Road south of town back around 1985 or so. I paid 500 bucks for the claim and figured to do pretty good because at least once a year a recreational panner would find a decent nugget in Maxwell Creek right in the middle of town. The creek is a proven gold producer.

What I didn’t know was the creek that far up by my claim dried up during the summer and fall months, leaving me about 4 months out of the year with enough water to work the claim. The other 8 months it was infested with rattlesnakes and those vicious little brown Mexican scorpions.

It took me 2 fucking years to make my $500 back, and this is when gold was running about 300 bucks an ounce. Back then I figured I needed to make 10 bucks an hour to make it worth my while because that was my average wage at the ammo plant, but I kept putting time into that claim because I just knew in my heart I was going to strike it rich. Haha, fooled me. As soon as I recovered my investment, I pulled my claim markers down and abandoned the claim. It just wasn’t worth my time and effort.

About 10 or 15 years later I was in the area and stopped in at one of the small mining/tourist shops in town. I knew the owner fairly well because he also sold local history books, and he told me that some kid on his very first prospecting trip found a 7 ounce nugget not a hundred yards from my old claim a couple months prior. He even showed me a picture of the nugget to rub it in, the asshole.

A fascinating true-life story from Ken Layne, a fascinating dude who seems to have led a pretty darned fascinating life. There’s more yet, of which you should read the all.

Time for some truth

Posted on      by     

EXCELLENT rundown of a few historical realities that are sure to stick in certain craws.

So here’s the truth.

The Jews are not foreigners in Israel. They are the world’s oldest continuous nation in the land, with a history there stretching back nearly four millennia. Insofar as their ancient ancestors thoroughly intermarried with their Canaanite predecessors, the history in the land of the descendants of those unions goes back even further: they are literally the original owners of the land. The Jews built kingdoms in that land before Rome — not just the empire but the city itself —existed, they worshiped in Jerusalem millennia before Muhammad, and those in exile prayed for return unceasingly, reassuring one another throughout: “Next year in Jerusalem”.

Israel is not a colony. It’s a restoration.

Nor is the modern State of Israel some Zionist invention, or an exercise of British imperial fiat. In 1947, the United Nations voted overwhelmingly to establish Israel, partitioning the remaining 20% of the Palestine Mandate into two states: one Jewish, one Arab. The Jews accepted. The Arabs declared a war of annihilation, just three years after the Holocaust, a war the Jews won.

Why do those two facts alone not settle this once and for all?

Oh, and that other 80%? Already given to the Palestinian Arabs in 1922, the modern Kingdom of Jordan. In 1947, the UN sought to give half the remainder — the 20% set aside for a Jewish homeland — to the Arabs as well. That’s 90% for the Arabs, just 10% for the indigenous Jews.

If those Palestinians who refuse to live in peace in Israel (which they may do), and refuse to live peacefully beside the Jews in the so-called “territories” (which they may also do), wish to live peacefully somewhere, what is wrong with the 80% of Palestine on the East Bank of the Jordan? Do these colonizers really need 100%? And why would anyone agree to such an absurdity?

The Jews did not ask for 100%, or even 50%. The Jews accepted the UN’s terms in peace. The Arabs responded with an attempted genocide, not just by the Palestinian Arabs themselves but also the surrounding Arab states. The Israeli victory is nothing short of a miracle. Nor did the Arabs stop there: they expelled vast Jewish communities from their countries, minorities who had lived continuously in those lands for as much as 2,700 years.

Israel is not a “settler colony.” The State of Israel was founded by and through international law. Virtually the entire world agreed that there must be a Jewish state, just as there must be an Indian state, and a Kenyan state, and a Polish state, and a French state. Israel’s existence rests not on imperial decree but on the consensus of the nations, and on the same principle of self-determination that birthed nearly every nation in the modern world.

By contrast, the Arabs now calling themselves “Palestinians” are not indigenous. Their presence begins with the Muslim conquest, millennia after the Jews. Jews still lived in the land, then and always, even after Rome had expelled many of them. And most of the ancestors of today’s Palestinians are recent arrivals as well, settling in the wasteland the area had become under the Turks only after the Jews began to develop it, “making the desert bloom”. They came to benefit from Jewish enterprise. Now they want to steal what the Jews built.

The irony is glaring: those who arrived by imperial sword now claim the mantle of the native, while the true indigenous people are smeared as colonizers.

But…but…but…butbutbut…THEY HAVE BIG, HOOKED NOSES! AND THEY’RE GREEDY, JUST OBSESSED WITH MONEY!! AND THEY STICK TO THEIR OWN KIND, LIKE SOME KIND OF CLAN OR TRIBE OR SOMETHING!!! AND THEY CONTROL ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING!!! AND…AND…AND…

((((****JOOOOOOOOOO!!!****))))

Eyrie note

Posted on      by     

No, I didn’t forget about the Friday Eyrie column I owe y’all. Because of the holiday I figgered I’d put it off til tomorrow, and also maybe make it another meme post too, since people really seem to like those (meme posts reliably get more visits than anything else, both here and at the Eyrie, go figger). Plus, I’ve downloaded so many really good ones from my usual haunts the last cpl-three weeks, and I’m excited about getting ‘em out there to y’all.

The Monday Substack meme thang will go up as regularly scheduled, unless something wild and crazy happens between now and then.

Trans, vegan death cult?

Posted on      by     

Turns out there is one. No, really.

It was a frost-bitten day in late January this year. On the Interstate 91 in Vermont, some 15 kilometres from the Canadian border, US border agents pulled over a blue Toyota Prius.

Law enforcement had been tracking the Prius’s two occupants, 21-year-old Teresa ‘Milo’ Youngblut and 26-year-old Felix ‘Ophelia’ Bauckholt for a couple of days. A hotel employee had raised suspicions about the pair after seeing them both wearing black combat clothes and seeing Youngblut carrying a gun. But beyond that, the agents knew little more about them.

The Prius came to a stop. Youngblut stepped out of the car. And then all hell broke loose. Youngblut began shooting, while Bauckholt also reached for a gun. In the ensuing firefight, border agent David Maland was killed, as was Bauckholt. Youngblut herself was eventually arrested.

The police soon discovered that the bloody confrontation near the Canadian border was part of something bigger. They were holding only the outermost threads of a strange and bloody web involving a small, bizarre group known as the Zizians.

The Zizians – named after their unofficial founder, 34-year-old Jack Amadeus ‘Ziz’ LaSota – had already gained a degree of notoriety over two years earlier. In November 2022, at a trailer park in Vallejo, California, a resident received an early-morning knock on his door. It was his landlord, Curtis Lind. ‘I’m dying’, the 80-year-old Lind said as he collapsed through the door, a katana sword protruding from his body. He was missing an eye and blood was ‘squirting’ from multiple stab wounds. Lind’s tenant called the emergency services and, miraculously, he survived this attack.

Lind claimed he had been attacked by a group of youngish people – Alexander ‘Somni’ Leatham, Tessa ‘Suri Dao’ Berns and Amir ‘Emma’ Borhanian – living on one of Lind’s trailer lots since early 2020. Neighbours had long referred to the group as ‘the cult’, on account of their bizarre behaviour. They were all trans, strolled around the site naked, carried weapons and staunchly refused to eat anything non-vegan.

Hooooo-KAY, then. Incredible as it may seem, the story gets even more bizarre from there. No, really.

Update! Has “trans” hit a turning point?

The Day the Trans Movement ‘Jumped the Shark’
The Minnesota school shooting was shocking and appalling. The perpetrator (who doesn’t deserve to be named — “deadname,” new name, or otherwise) was seemingly motivated by a litany of leftwing grievances against Christians (Catholics), President Trump, Israel, and other right-of-center bogeymen. Included in the madman’s notebook was a “defend equality” sticker with an LGBTQIA flag forebodingly placed over a gun.

It also marked a turning point in how the trans community is perceived by the rest of the country.

For most of the last decade, liberal activists weaponized “trans rights,” using it as a club to bash traditional gender roles, mock religion, and attack the so-called patriarchy. (Indeed, the Minnesota shooter used images of Jesus as target practice.) For liberals, it was less about what trans want — and all about how their pain could be exploited for political gain. So they pushed… and pushed… and pushed.

But they forgot that the PR pendulum always swings back.

It only takes one big moment to crystalize a shift in public sentiment — a landmark, high-profile event that captures how much we’ve “jumped the shark.” 

Last week in Minnesota, that’s exactly what happened. The shocking visuals have permanently changed how Americans see trans people: Instead of being perceived as vulnerable, they’re now seen as violent.

As well they should be, looks like. For example:

Horrific as it is, that list, of course, is by no stretch all-inclusive.

Deep Dive: Since 2020 Roughly 40% of Successful and Would-Be School Shooters Were Trans or Trans-Suspected, Data Shows
In the wake of the shooting at the Annunciation Catholic Church School in Minneapolis on Wednesday, we’re confronted with an uncomfortable but inevitable question: Is there some sort of correlation between transgenderism and mass school shootings?

This is, after all, the second time a transgender shooter has claimed lives at a Christian institution in about two years. This time, Robin Westman — born Robert — killed two and injured 17 more before killing himself. In 2023, in the Covenant School shooting, Audrey Elizabeth Hale — who identified as Aiden Hale — killed six and injured two.

And then there’s these:

In 2019, one of the two perpetrators at the STEM School Highlands Ranch identified as transgendered. Maya (Alec) McKinney was one of the two Colorado students charged and convicted in the shooting that killed four. McKinney, who was a juvenile at the time of the shooting, was sentenced as an adult and faced a mandatory sentence of life in prison. Born as a female, but identifying as a male, few media outlets — except CBS were willing to report that she was transgendered. Most legacy media like ABC refused to acknowledge the transgender identity of the shooter in their reports at her sentencing — choosing instead to describe the shooter as “Alec” instead of her given name.

The year before, in 2018, a few media outlets reported that a transgendered individual fatally shot three people and injured three others at a Maryland Rite Aid warehouse. The Harford County Sheriff’s Office revealed the identity of the shooter as Snochia Moseley, age 26, as being a “transgender African American of Baltimore County who was a temporary worker at the facility.” Moseley shot herself in the head and later died of her wounds at the hospital. But, of course, CNN was unable to be straightforward in its coverage of the event and instead, published an article with the headline: “Why Maryland’s Shooter’s Gender is so Confounding.” Claiming that since most mass shooters are male, it was puzzling why Snochia could have done such a thing.

The transgender link is clear in each of these shootings. Yet, few in the media or the public will acknowledge this. And when there is a shooting in which the perpetrator’s gender is ambiguous, everyone seems to be afraid to even ask questions about their gender identity. This occurred following the Houston megachurch shooting in 2024 when a shooter was identified as transgender by some conservative media outlets, but the Houston police contradicted those reports by confirming that the shooter, Genesse Moreno, was indeed a woman and did not identify as transgender — even though she used a male alias and called herself “Jeffrey.”

And even this is just a drop in the bucket. Gee, what a shock, that deeply disturbed people afflicted by serious delusions regarding their gender might also be subject to other forms of mental disorder, such as a penchant for violence.

Correct, on all counts

Kevin Kinkead positively unloads on Springsteen and Born To Run. Not being a fan of either of those, I just about killed myself laughing at this masterpiece.

Happy 50th Anniversary to Bruce Springsteen’s “Born to Run,” One of the Worst Albums Ever Recorded
There is so much to hate about this album, it’s hard to know where to start. Thunder Road is the opener, and it begins with Bruce mumbling over over piano and harmonica for 90 seconds before someone mercifully hits a drum. Then there’s Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out, which shows some promise at times, but is really more of a soul song than a rock song. The album finally starts to display some balls with the underrated third track, Night, which at least has some tempo to it. It only lasts about three minutes though, then we’re slowing it down with Backstreets, featuring more piano wankery, but at least there’s a guitar solo at the 3:33 mark. Unfortunately it’s only 19 seconds long, but better than nothing. Then you’ve got the overrated title track, which builds but never really goes anywhere, bookending two side B filler tracks with Jungleland salvaging a D+ album grade.

The other thing is that Bruce can’t sing, which makes it tough to get into the music itself, which isn’t very good to begin with.

I think the thing that offends me in particular about Springsteen is that those of you who are 50+ got to experience the height of the 1970s music scene, when so many great bands were making so much great music. Even in 1975 alone, when Born to Run came out, Zeppelin released Physical Graffiti, Queen released A Night at the Opera, and Pink Floyd released Wish You Were Here. Aerosmith dropped Toys in the Attic and Black Sabbath was on to Sabotage. You had prime ZZ Top and Deep Purple and David Bowie and Fleetwood Mac and all of that, and your favorite artist was BRUCE? For who? For what! We millennials would have killed to be alive during that era. Imagine wasting it listening to The Boss mumble on about his friend being a good baseball player in high school. Listening to Bruce in the 1970s would have been like wasting the 90s listening to Dave Matthews Band (shout out to that one reader who has seen Dave 47 times in Camden).

If you’d like to hear more Bruce slander, I recommended our Pulitzer-winning column from a few years back, titled Someone has to Say it: Bruce Springsteen Totally Stinks.

Oh, you’d just better believe I’m a-gonna be checking that one out right away.

HEROIC!

Sisters are doin’ it for themselves.

Fourteen-Year-Old Scottish Girl Arrested for Resisting Probable Assault by Migrants
Europe is in the midst of an immigration crisis. Fueled by self-loathing and fear of being called a baddie, most European countries have opened themselves to unlimited illegal and unmonitored immigration from countries with which they have nothing in common by people contemptuous of the (sorta) Christian West and its people. Their only attachment to the countries that accept them is the money doled out that gives them a life of safety and ease they could never have had at home. Outside the bright light that is Poland, most of Europe has surrendered to what is, in essence, an invading army hellbent on rape and pillage. The influx of migrants is amplified by a cratering childbearing rate that threatens to make some nationalities an ethnic minority in their home country in the next 30 years.

Of all of Europe, Britain stands out as a country that has adopted a policy of appeasing immigrants and bashing any natives with the gall to speak up for themselves.

Just two days ago, this horror show flashed across X. The location is Dundee, Scotland. Two girls, one age 12 and the other 14, are pursued by a number of migrants who remain off-screen.

In fear, the oldest girl (yes, she’s shorter than her younger sibling), produces a hatchet and a knife and tells the creepazoids stalking her to stay away.

Both teens are visibly distressed as grown men stand around them. One of the girls can be heard yelling, “Don’t f*cking touch her, she’s f*cking 12.”

Another account indicates one or more of the girls may have been groped or manhandled by the migrants.

A video that has been widely circulated on social media shows the youngster brandishing an axe and a machete. In it, she shouts at somebody off camera that they are “f***ing battering kids, mate… You’re f***ing kid bashers”.

The footage was taken on Saturday afternoon and shows two girls on a grass verge by the busy Coupar Angus Road. A man’s voice is heard saying: “Show the knife, show the knife.”

The second girl then screams “Get the f*** away from her” before the other youngster holds up the two weapons. The second girl shouts: “Don’t f***ing punch my little sister, she’s 12.”

Given that this is Britain, you can predict what happened next.

Most likely, yep. You’d be perfectly correct about it, too. Depressingly, it’s altogether obvious at this late date.

The UK, along with Western Europe entire, is nothing more than a sickening disgrace now, beyond salvage—no longer worth trying to salvage, even if you could. I mean, think about it: when a nation has sunk so low that British/Scottish/Irish men will abandon young girls to fend for themselves against aggressive Moslem primitives, refusing to lift so much as one (1) finger to assist in their defense…well, where are you, really? Then the disgusting cops pour salt in the wound by ARRESTING THE GIRLS and not the predatory Immivaders who are harrassing them, molesting them, taunting them, and much, much worse!

That’s when it’s clear as crystal that there is absolutely no hope for your despicable country and its despicable populace. Nor should there be, frankly.

Your national pride, honor, dignity, self-respect—all these valuable things and more still have you yielded up to an implacable enemy which for 1400 years has vowed to destroy you utterly. Land, culture, institutions, a rich history and tradition you once delighted in boasting about, gone like spit on a skillet, vanished as if they’d never been. And for what, pray tell? You gave away everything you had and got nothing whatsoever for it. Not even the proverbial “mess of pottage” did you receive in exchange for selling your nation, your heritage, yourselves, even your very souls.

Once a brave, intrepid people, builders of a vast Empire which for centuries spanned a whole planet, since a final flash of former glory during WW2 you have unresistingly capitulated in what can only be described as the most humiliating and degrading act of abject cowardice in human history, even as the world watched your spectacular collapse in dismay and disbelief.

That’s it, game over. Stick a fork in it, you are well and truly DONE, old sport.

Fly all the flags you like, congratulate yourselves and each other for such a courageous show of defiance against your mewling, pussified authorities. Means little, changes nothing; it’s way too little, way too late now, alas. Your day is done, your race run; no matter what, the whole shambolic mess can never be sorted out again. All you can do at this late date is bow, scrape, and crawl to your conquerors; be as meek and servile as possible; and gaze with admiration, awe, and envy upon the Poles, Hungarians, and Czechs for being made of far sterner stuff than you turned out to be.

“The sun never sets on the British Empire!” Except, y’know, when it does. “There’ll always be an England”? Sadly, no; there hasn’t been an England for many and many a year. Your finest hour has come and gone, never to return. The worst of it might be that, in fact, this wasn’t done TO you by some marauding third party of outsiders; no, in this case you did it to yourselves.

What do you do…

When your own government is your most serious, pernicious, and pressing threat?

Why Is a Navy Vet Still Sitting in Prison When Nothing ATF Found in His Home Was Illegal?

Why indeed.

Anyone who still believes that former U.S. Navy Petty Officer 1st Class Patrick “Tate” Adamiak must have done something wrong or illegal in order to justify his 20-year federal prison sentence need only look at the documents his team has just released.

The documents are damning, but not for Adamiak.

The documents are damning for the ATF.

The documents show that the ATF was severely screwed after they stormed into Adamiak’s home based solely on an informant’s misinformation, because they found nothing illegal.

The documents show how the ATF then took extremely questionable steps to charge the now 31-year-old with illegally possessing 31 machineguns and four destructive devices, even though none of the items the ATF found are actually machineguns or destructive devices.

After their botched raid, the ATF had to try something – anything – to avoid looking like complete idiots, Adamiak’s father believes.

However, the actions ATF took only made the entire situation much worse. Adamiak had no prior criminal record until the ATF kicked in his doors. He was already in the pipeline to become a U.S. Navy SEAL.

For those who value freedom, even a quick review of Adamiak’s documents will bring on confusion and possibly even anger – none more so than the page about his toy STEN submachinegun.

By “toy,” they are in fact talking about a plastic Sten replica, a child’s non-functional plaything that the ATF extensively, radically modified until they’d gotten their Frankensteinian creation to successfully fire one (1) round, at which point they went after their intended prey for his nonexistent “crime” like a pack of half-starved wolves falling upon a fat, stray lamb.

The eager-beaver FederalGovCo employee behind this outrageous assault against that lovely lady with the scales and the blindfold we’re all familiar with, but have seen less and less of in recent years, has a name, a face, and a home address (bold mine, as ever).

The government’s case against Adamiak was led by two Assistant U.S. Attorneys, but their main witness became the real reason why a jury found Adamiak guilty, and a federal judge sentenced him to 20 years in prison.

Jeffrey R. Bodell, who works out of a small ATF office in Martinsburg, West Virginia, was the state’s main witness.

Bodell is an ATF Firearms Enforcement Officer, or FEO, who has worked in ATF’s Firearms and Ammunition Technology Division since he was hired in November 2020.

When he took the stand to testify about what he did to Adamiak’s firearms, Bodell had been an ATF employee for less than two years.

Most damning was the fact that this was the first time Bodell had ever testified at any trial. He is also the ATF staffer who turned toys into firearms and legal semi-autos into machineguns.

There’s a photo of the Swamp rat at the link; he looks about like you’d expect. The scum-slurping shitstain shoulda pulled hemp, been gunned down from afar, or dragged a cpl-three miles behind a beat-up old pickup long ago, if you ask me. For his part, Mr Adamiak has a little something to say about this wretched villainy his own self.

It’s incredible that all of this even happened. Now, there are new prosecutors assigned to my appeal. I wish they had the courage to make the hard call and step up and admit that a mistake was made and then correct it. Don’t let me sit in prison any longer. This was Joe Biden’s fault, not President Trump’s.

“A mistake was made”? Sorry, youngster, but that ain’t gonna cut it. It’s a safe bet that not a single thing went down here that wasn’t fully intentional, scripted right down to the Nth detail, and approved in advance by Bodell’s superiors. You can be sure, too, that there’s an official manual in every ATF office which spells out the operational plan for such a campaign; all the gear needed to successfully execute it; best training regimen for readying the field team(s) tasked with its implementation; and the most convincing way to deny all involvement and/or knowledge at press conferences after the mission has gone off the rails, blown up in your face, and become public knowledge.

Neither will it do to ladle blame over Trump or Biden for this ugly business. For one thing, it’s just too easy, and will distract attention from larger, more burning issues. For another, we all already know damned well who’s to blame anyway, whether we wish to admit it or no. Ultimately, the true malefactor, the crème de la culprit responsible for the abhorrent, ongoing persecution of Tate Adamiak is Amerika v2.0’s rogue, illegitimate, out of control Federal bloatocracy, regardless of which empty suit pretends to be nominally in charge of it at any given time.

New Fundie!

Posted on      by     

Had to start up another fundraising campaign over at GiveSendGo, further explained here. To wit:

Our problem now is, the well pump at my house failed about a month or so ago, and neither Jeff nor I have anything like enough money to fix it. Hence this most sincere plea for help. One by one, Jeff replaced the well pressure-bladder, the pump switch, and fixed a leak in the main water-feed pipe under the house. Well systems being the dead-simple little beasties they are, there’s nothing else left to explain the sudden loss of water pressure inside but a failed pump. Replacing it is a job Jeff doesn’t have the training, experience, or faith in his own good luck to attempt, so the decision has been made to bring in a well-repair company located just down the street from us for the project. Thanks for your kind consideration, everyone!

And there you have it, gang. I’ll probably either make this post sticky or put it over at the top of the right sidebar, dunno which. Not sure, either, what happens when you have two (2) sticky posts fighting for position up top; we’ll find out, I reckon.

When you’d rather have your arm broken during a carjacking than see Cheetoh Hitler do something about crime

Posted on      by     

Houston, she has a problem—a BIIIIIG problem. In fact, we all do…worse, when you get right down to it it’s the same damned problem.

An AWFL Made a Post About Trump’s Crime Crackdown, and It Broke the Internet
The most delusional, destructive demographic on the planet has struck again. No, I’m not talking about Islamic terrorists or Chinese communists. I’m talking about affluent, white, female liberals.

In the wake of President Donald Trump’s crime crackdown, which is reportedly heading to Chicago next, an absolute unit of an AWFL stepped forth to deliver a post that broke the internet. Her name is Jill Ciminillo, and she wants you to know that she was carjacked in Chicago. Not only that, but she had her arm broken by the criminals who violently attacked her. In fact, she posted pictures of her bruising to prove it, along with a smiling selfie of her cast.

Through all the pain and turmoil, she was not deterred. Her total hatred of Donald Trump shone through, as she announced she’d rather be carjacked and beaten than have the president help stop crime in her city. Jill Ciminillo, the alpha AWFL, had spoken, and the internet broke.

As ratios go, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen one as bad as this. She eventually deleted her post, but not before it garnered over 18,000 replies. By then, the damage was done, and the internet had officially been broken.

Bonch embeds the TiQ (Tweet in Question) which features Mz CrayCray McNutjob’s rant along with a still of her wrecked arm, and it’s a laff riot.

Cracker Barrel breakdown

Posted on      by     

So first, there was this:

A YUUUGE change for sure and certain! Next up, I’ve had DEI dragon-slayer Robbie Starbuck’s exposé sitting in an open tab for several days now. Transcript:

Cracker Barrel has been one of the most loved brands in America for decades… That changed this week with a logo redesign that infuriated the public but… the problem goes MUCH deeper than a logo.

@CrackerBarrel has gone fully woke and now it’s time to expose everything.

Here’s the highlights you need to know:

  • Cracker Barrel has funded “all ages” Pride events for many years like Nashville Pride and Third River City Pride.
  • Cracker Barrel worked with the far left HRC organization and reportedly sponsored HRC events for 10 years. They even brought an HRC representative to their Tennessee HQ to do a pronoun and transgenderism training. We’ve included photos of this in the video. As a reminder, the HRC supports child sex changes and men in women’s bathrooms. They work to normalize/legalize both things and they work to force transgenderism in the workplace.
  • Cracker Barrel worked with a group called Conexión Américas as part of their DEI efforts. This group helps illegal immigrants, providing them lawyers and the executive director opposes President Trump’s deportations. 
  • Cracker Barrel sponsored the Out & Equal LGBTQ Workplace Advocate Conference and presented a workshop on how Cracker Barrel has made progress supporting LGBTQ+ causes. This group works to push sexual topics and pronouns into the workplace.
  • Cracker Barrel was awarded Out & Equal’s 2018 top LGBT ERG group award and they won the Nashville LGBT Chamber of Commerce “Corporate Diversity” award.
  • CB created a special “diverse” suppliers program focused on increasing “diversity” among suppliers. To most people this just reads as: less white people.
  • Had Coming out day pamphlets passed out at their TN headquarters as well as pamphlets about supporting “LGBTQ YOUTH” and creating “Safe Zones” at work, free from “heterosexist or cwordgendered comments and actions” (X will downrank my post if I spell that word out). If you said anything activists would describe as “heterosexist” then you were told that you’d be “educated” by their LGBT office group.
  • CB has had multiple DEI focused employees and had CB employees attend DEI roundtables.
  • CB had pride flags at their corporate office.
  • CB promoted the Stonewall riot to employees and on their website despite the fact that the Stonewall Inn was reportedly owned by the mafia, rife with drug dealing and also the site of teen “prostitution” for older men. 
  • Had a Cracker Barrel employee on the HRC’s business advisory council.
  • Has ERG groups in the office that are divided by race and sexual preferences.
  • A total commitment to DEI policies.
  • CB has had MANY activist employees driving this far left policy agenda, including a head of training + management, top execs and a board of directors member who owns a DEI consulting firm.

To put it mildly, Cracker Barrel has forgotten who their core customers are. It’s time for us to remind them.

They depend on YOU to keep their business afloat so now YOU have to ask yourself: Do you want to fund people or companies that hate your values?

It’s time to remind them who their customers are.

If you think their values don’t align with yours and you’re a customer who wants to speak out, you can write to them here: https://guestrelations.crackerbarrel.com/s/contactsupport

Reporters can also call their reporter hotline at: 615-235-4135 or email them: media.relations@crackerbarrel.com

Remember to ALWAYS BE KIND. Many in customer service agree with you. Being rude hurts our cause!

I give everyone permission to use my video and what we found to make your own content. You can rip this, clip this, make your own content, etc. You can even monetize my video. Just get this information to everyone you know. We have to take our power back as consumers. Every company needs to get the message that THIS ENDS NOW.

Oh, you just bet your sweet bippy it WON’T end now, Rob, more’s the pity. Cracker Barrel itself may end, but the Wokester juggernaut will keep right on keepin’ on, seeking that which it may devour.

Last but not least, Sean Davis sums the whole contretemps up rather nicely, in another Tweet/X/whatevs that I’ll provide a complete transcript of rather than embed and have to deal with that irritating “Show more…” Shinola.

The real reason Cracker Barrel has been struggling is that its service and food quality nose-dived after COVID, and instead of fixing that, the company and its woke executives decided to go full Bud Light and taste the rainbow and dare its customers to object. 

They stopped bringing you biscuits and cornbread as a matter of course, then they shrunk them, the food started to taste and look reheated instead of freshly prepared, and the service got slower and sloppier. Everyone who’s been a loyal customer over the years has experienced this. It’s undeniable.

Those are admittedly tricky problems to fix, especially given how service quality everywhere has sucked after COVID. It’s hard to find wait staff and cooks who always show up when they’re supposed to and take pride in their work.

Cracker Barrel executives refused to address those problems—problems that any customer would’ve pointed out had they bothered to ask. Instead, the executives went all-in on woke alphabet BS: DEI this, BLM that, LGBT whatever. 

Because that’s what people want at an old country diner: gay race communism shoved in their faces. 

The stupid rebrand in which executives stripped every last bit of charm and character from the company and its restaurants and stores was just the latest in a long line of attempts to set money on fire by breaking what didn’t need to be fixed and refusing to fix what was obviously broken.

Cracker Barrel had the simplest restaurant model possible, and it was one that made people fall and stay in love with the brand for decades: comfort food in a setting that reminded you of your grandparents’ home. The food was good, the people were kind, and the setting felt like a loving home filled with people who cared about each other. That was it.

And the moronic executives who’ve now destroyed something like $2 billion worth of that company’s value since 2020 have decided the last little bit of charm left in the place needed to have its soul ripped out and covered up with ship lap and geometric artwork and consultant-approved off-white paint. Forget your grandmother’s home-cooking after church—this is now IHOP by Joanna Gaines, complete with gay pride rainbows and in-your-face DEI sloganeering.

Cracker Barrel wasn’t just a company or a restaurant. It represented a slice of Americana that millions would desperately like to return to. A time where people worked with their hands, and prayed before meals, and didn’t bother locking their doors at night. The old soda signs reminded us that our money wasn’t always worthless and our country wasn’t always run by greedy bankers. We used to be a country that built things and conquered the frontier.

That’s the feeling that Cracker Barrel used to evoke, and it’s what made its customers so loyal. It’s why people would stop there for lunch during a long road trip instead of just grabbing fast food and getting back on the highway. It’s why people were happy to wait 30 minutes for a table after Sunday School and happily mill about the store until their table was ready.

And it’s that feeling and that America which the woke parasites in charge of Cracker Barrel deliberately sought to maliciously destroy. They refused to fix the actual problems and instead decided the real problem was its own customers, which it set out to re-educate.

I hope they had their fun, because Cracker Barrel is done. They killed it, wrapped the corpse in a rainbow flag, and then made it do a little puppet show in New York City for the entertainment of all their woke little friends. If the stupid woke CEO Julie Felss Masino had the sense to lose the dumb prop glasses and stop looking down her nose at the millions of people who used to frequent Cracker Barrel, it would’ve been obvious to see.

But no. It was beyond her capabilities. It’s not that she’s dumb. Poor woke little Julie is just plain “eg-no-ra-moose.”

Dumb? Well, no more than every shitlib is, I guess. But like others of her loathsome ilk, she’s all too accustomed to getting her way, thus will most assuredly learn nothing from this gratuitous little episode, and will just pick her little self up, dust her little self off, and move on to her next project of mass destruction.

Update! A cri de coeur.

Updated update! A small victory.

The People Have Spoken: Cracker Barrel Caves
Cracker Barrel announced on Tuesday evening that it’s giving up its rebranding plan—or, at least, doing away with its new generic logo and bringing back its “Old Timer.”

It also looks like the company scrubbed its X account and removed the LGBTetc. page from its website.

All well and good, and I’m happy to see it. BUT…near as I can make out, the Wokester/shitlib CEO is still in place, and I gravely doubt she’s adjusted her thinking as regards the need to educate Cracker Barrel’s staid, stuffy, RAYCISS!©, misogynist, homo/transphobic, unenlightened customer base about the vitally critical critically vital importance of making sure gays, Groomers, “transgenders,” kiddy-diddlers, et al feel “seen,” and aren’t “marginalized,” “shamed,” or “excluded” for being “different” at any Cracker Barrel restaurant.

In other words, is this gesture of newfound respect for the views cherished by their most loyal customers a permanent thing, or is it just a knee-jerk response to the feeding frenzy of fury and indignation the CB leadership brought down on itself, an expedient PR maneuver that will be rescinded the moment Cracker Barrel executives think nobody’s watching?

We’ll see, I reckon.

Ladies and germs, just another typical day of your D卐M☭CRAT Party hard at…well, at something, anyway.



Re: that first one up top, Ace has ya covered on the further details.

George and Alex Soros financed another rally in support of the MS-13 terrorist and human trafficker Albrego-Garcia.

Democrat Senator and TikTok Influencer Chris Van Hollen met with the human trafficker again, to support him.

You may remember that Albrego-Garcia was and is an illegal alien who was ordered deported from the US. He was never granted any kind of legal status. He conned one judge into believing that he had a “reasonable fear” of attacks by an El Salvadoran gang — probably because he murdered the mother of one of those gang members — and was barred from being deported to El Salvador, only.

So now Trump is sending his human-trafficking mother-murdering ass to a safe third country, Uganda.

But what’s this? Suddenly Albrego-Garcia has developed a “reasonable fear” of persecution in Uganda, too!!!

What a highly fortunate 11th-hour phobia to develop!!!

I know, right? Why, what an incredible coinkydink! One last reminder of who they’ve always been, what they’ve always done.


There really ain’t no way to make that better, but good on these folks for trying just the same.


BOTTOM LINE: The D卐M☭CRAT (criminal organization masquerading as a political) Party should—MUST, actually—be broken up and permanently banned, all its members executed for treason. Yeah, they’re guilty of many other high crimes and misdemeanors as well, but what the hey, we can only hang ‘em once.

Update! Yes, execute this shitlib Hack In Black too.

Federal judges are at it again. Another Obama appointee has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia. The Hill reports:

A federal judge on Monday doubled down that the Trump administration is “absolutely forbidden” from removing mistakenly deported man Kilmar Abrego Garcia from the U.S., for now.

U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis, an appointee of former President Obama, blocked Abrego Garcia’s deportation to Uganda until she can hold a hearing to determine whether the administration will let him contest his removal to the third country.

Here we go again.

Indeed. So how many more times will Real Americans put up with this shit before they decide to stand up and do the necessary, then?

Links to the “found via” sources will be attached to the specific MiQ’s (Memes in Question) whenever I can remember them, which likely won’t be very often. Only the first two memes will appear above the fold to save on bandwidth usage, since I assume not everybody who shows up at this here websty will want to see all of them. This intro will appear at the top of each week’s Memezapoppin’! post. Enjoy, funny-pitcher lovers.

Just in cause you thought that psychotic freak out was a unique occasion, a one-and-done—nope, not hardly, it’s a pretty regular thing.




Portland’s Screeching ‘Dog Park Karen’ Has Been ‘Off the Leash’ Before — and No, She’s Not Amy Schumer
As you may have suspected after reading about Dog Park Karen—who wildly menaced a man over his “pure-bred” dogs in a Portland dog park—we learn that this isn’t the first time this Amy Schumer look-alike has been let off her leash.


If you haven’t read about this wild incident that has gone supernova on social media, by all means read ‘Karen’s’ Attack of Portland Dog Owner Perfectly Frames Left’s Insufferable Bigotry, and you’ll likely come to the same conclusion.


Indeed, this incident wasn’t a one-off, we find, based on reactions to this story. The screech-fest by this Portland cultist is part of a pattern of anti-social, untethered, and entitled behavior by a screeching blonde who wears a NASCAR-like patchwork of causes on her sleeve. Slack-jawed viewers are subjected to a panoply of pap about puppy mills, racism, purebred dogs, immigration, emotional blackmail, Donald Trump, adopting pets, victim-blaming, and frightening fake assault allegations.


She also works for Oregon Health & Science University, according to the account PDX Real, which posted the video.




Because of COURSE she does.




Karen, whose real name is out there in the ether, has done this before, according to people who recognized the woman from their interactions with her in Portland parks. In other words, this ain’t her first dogbroglio.


From looking at hundreds of comments on Reddit, I found three others who claimed to have been subjected to this woman’s out-of-control behavior.


One person remembered an incident with her right before COVID.


Whether she’s a certifiable mental case or not, one thing’s for sure: she’s frightening and assaultive. She needs to go to jail.




Don’t she just. But of course, we’re living in Amerika v2.0 now, where the inmates run the asylum.

Crazy lady illustrates just how very far we’ve fallen—as a nation; as Americans; as individuals; as civilized, rational, well-meaning human adults.


i’m telling ya, gang, you ain’t gonna believe this one.










This rage junkie’s unprovoked hissy fit deserves some kind of token of recognition—say, a trophy; a statuette along the lines of the Oscar, the Tony, or the Grammy; a colorful silk ribbon sizeable enough that it can be tied in back of the neck and draped over the collarbones and down to about mid-sternum, the way a proper necklace is usually worn; a gold medal to hang from said ribbon/necklace, a one-two knockout punch which results in a stylish accessory that, for all intents and purposes, might have been made to be shown off at private parties, film/art-show openings, next year’s Kentucky Derby, or some other such event; a generous cash prize; a professionally printed, suitable-for-framing certificate of merit presented personally by Hizzoner the Mayor’s very own hand; an honorary diploma from the nearest cow-college.


Then there’s the charity-fundraising dinner in a ritzy restaurant so jam-packed with minor to middling local celebutards that whenever at least two of said celebs stands close together and smiles for the cameras, the high-wattage light bouncing off the razzle-dazzle dentition on display produces a reflection so intensely retina-singing that any diner, restaurant employee, sidewalk-dwelling stewbum, or luckless looky-loo gawking through the establishment’s big front window who gets hit smack dab in the middle of his/her/its eyeball by the tooth polish-enhanced reflection will be blinded completely until mid-afternoon of the next day, a painful injury to delicate, highly sensitive tissue which hurts in a way reminiscent of the also-blinding eyeball burns incurred by looking directly at a welding torch’s brilliant light without welding goggles*.


There’s sure to be lots more bright ideas floating around out there regarding how best to recognize Miz Cray-Cray McNutcake’s and any subsequent amusing mental/emotional self-detonations, but the above ones should suffice to get the intellectual spark plugs firing, the creative juices flowing, and the internal kick-ball rolling in the right direction, I think.


One final thought: can you even begin to imagine what life must be like for this woman’s husband/boyfriend.significant other (if any)? Y’know, the poor soul who has to go to bed every night and wake up every morning beside this psychopath? Because I gotta say, I can’t. In fact, I really don’t want to. My life sucks bad enough as it is; I don’t like the idea of using my imagination to put my astral projection (a term I picked up from PG Wodehouse’s Laughing Gas) in that pyrsynzzn’s shoes for even one second, which pointless experience would only make things worse for myself than they already were. I ain’t nearly masochist enough to make myself suffer so gratuitously, and with any luck I never will be.


* Although I’ve had countless opportunities to score myself some welding-torch eyeball blisters, I never did; whenever I heard the snap, crackle, and pop seam-building soundtrack warning all shop-rats that Goose had one of our three (3) torches fired up and was starting another of his incredibly flawless welds, I made damned good and sure to keep my back turned to him. From what friends of mine who would know say, the blindness hits shortly after the damage has been done, while the godawful pain usually holds off until sometime next day. The only effective treatment for those blisters I know of is to cut up a raw potato into thin rounds and place a slice on the closed lids of the affected ocular orb, then let it/them sit there for hours and hours. Eventually, the pain goes away, the vision comes back, and the lesson has been learned, to be remembered forever.


It’s all but certain not to go that way, though, as you probably figured out by now. Thanks to inborn human blockheadedness, Nature’s eternal cycle begins anew: the lesson will be forgotten; the attention will stray; the primordial flesh-memory of what it felt like will fade. And before you know it, there you are: somebody is about to get hurt again.


Shop Life 101, that’s all, Shop Life 101.

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."

—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

"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."
