Is theft.

California Chased Out Another Billionaire, Bringing the Total Money Lost To…
Uber co-founder Travis Kalanick says he’s the latest billionaire to join the exodus out of California as the “billionaire tax” initiative gathers signatures for the November ballot. “On December 18, I moved to Texas,” he told TPBN hosts John Coogan and Jordi Hays. “I don’t know what’s so specific about December 18, but let’s just say it’s prior to January.”

If the initiative passes, it would levy a one-time 5% tax on the entire net worth of the state’s billionaires, backdated to Jan. 1, 2026. That much you probably already knew.

What you might not know about the so-called Billionaire’s Tax Act is who is pushing for it and why — or how much it’s already cost the state.

The initiative’s primary sponsor is SEIU-United Healthcare Workers West (SEIU-UHW), which hopes to literally cash in on the tech sector’s riches. The Billionaire’s Tax Act, according to the union, would direct any funds raised “primarily to healthcare funding and food assistance programs through the newly created 2026 Billionaire Tax Reserve Fund.”

I think we know how that would play out in the real world: as a slush fund by, for, and of the SEIU.

Well, I mean, y’know, DUH.

Chumped!

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

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

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

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

It gives you a competitive advantage: Access is power.

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

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

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

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

And now, finally, an explanation emerges.

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

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

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

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

Never alone

A truly beautiful, beautiful thing.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Rest easy, sailor. Your watch is complete.

Amen.

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

Islamophobia is real

Posted on      by     

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.

At last. At long, fucking last.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Betrayal, served cold and raw

Glenn growls, “SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE FIXED HERE,” and he couldn’t possibly be righter abut that.


The very first response (as of just now) says a real mouthful.


Exactly, precisely so—and yes, by “treating them like the absolute traitors that they are” I most certainly DO mean hanging them by the neck until they are dead, dead, DEAD, why do you ask?

Sorry, but that’s just how I feel. I think about a good and decent patriot like LTC Shah being murdered as a direct result of the sleazy, self-serving political machinations of a shit-slurping maggot like Traitor Jaux Bribem, and my blood boils.

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 Might Be the Clearest Sign Yet the Obamas’ Marriage Is a Total Lie
Jesse Jackson’s funeral was held Friday at the House of Hope on Chicago’s South Side. Every major Democrat who still matters showed up: Joe Biden, Bill Clinton, Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, Jill Biden, California Gov. Gavin Newsom.

That’s right: sitting with a bunch of other couples, Barack Obama once again went stag. The Obamas themselves issued a joint statement about Jackson’s death that made Michelle’s absence on Friday all the more glaring. “Michelle got her first glimpse of political organizing at the Jacksons’ kitchen table when she was a teenager,” the statement read. “And in his two historic runs for president, he laid the foundation for my own campaign to the highest office of the land.” If there was ever a funeral Michelle had a personal, deeply rooted reason to attend, this was it.

So what’s the excuse this time?

The Obamas have been the subject of divorce rumors for a while now, and to say they’ve not handled them well is an understatement. They appeared on a podcast together, which looked painfully scripted, and of course, there’s the obligatory birthday, anniversary, Father’s Day, and Mother’s Day posts on social media. The choreographed podcast appearances and coordinated anniversary posts on social media prove nothing. Bill and Hillary Clinton have been photographed holding hands, too; no one believes they have a happy marriage.

Last June, Michelle said she was relieved she didn’t have a son, because he would have been “another Barack.” That’s not the kind of thing a happily married woman says in public.

The real tell is the explanation Michelle keeps offering. “One of the major decisions I made this year was to stay put and not attend funerals and inaugurations and all the things that I’m supposed to attend,” she told NPR last year. “That was a part of me using my ambition to say, ‘Let me define what I want to do, apart from what I’m supposed to do.'”

That would be a compelling argument if she were actually retreating from the public eye. She’s not. She’s recently “written” a book. She does podcast interviews regularly. She gives speeches. From where I sit, she seems to be declining the specific events where the public would see her standing next to her husband.

There’s a meaningful difference between stepping back from the spotlight and stepping away from your spouse.

There is at that. Bottom line: this “marriage” is a total sham, conceived and arranged from the start as a distraction from a politically-inconvenient truth; namely, that Big Mike’s “husband”—widely known for years in Chicago as “Bathhouse Barry” for very good reasons—is in fact a homosexual; and Big Mike “herself” is probably a man—more of one than her fake, ghey “husband” will ever be, at any rate.

Make.It. SO

Fret not, foks; that loud POP-POP-POPPITY-POP! sound you keep hearing is just “liberal” heads exploding, from sea to shining sea.

Rep. Ogles Proposes Amending the 22nd Amendment to Allow Trump to Serve a Third Term
WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Andy Ogles introduced a House Joint Resolution to amend the Constitution of the United States to allow a President to be elected for up to but no more than three terms. The language of the proposed amendment reads as follows:

“No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than three times, nor be elected to any additional term after being elected to two consecutive terms, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice.”

“President Trump’s decisive leadership stands in stark contrast to the chaos, suffering, and economic decline Americans have endured over the past four years. He has proven himself to be the only figure in modern history capable of reversing our nation’s decay and restoring America to greatness, and he must be given the time necessary to accomplish that goal. To that end, I am proposing an amendment to the Constitution to revise the limitations imposed by the 22nd Amendment on presidential terms. This amendment would allow President Trump to serve three terms, ensuring that we can sustain the bold leadership our nation so desperately needs,” said Congressman Ogles.

Oh HELLS muhfuggin’ yeah! Though I’d guesstimate it has no chance whatsoever of passing, much less being implemented—which I’m sure Ogles knows as well as the rest of us do—I’m still one hunnert and umpteen percent on board with this move.

And bang, zoom! Just like that, Congressman Ogles’ über-canny political maneuver goes into the “Win” column—if only because of how delightfully it’s gonna get under The Enemy’s skin and just irk the everloving tar out of those clot-head pantywaists, and nothing else. Trust me, I am in no way, shape, or form joshing y’all about this: for shitlibs, Ogles’ Big Idear is gonna smart awhile.

Most likely, they’ll still be feigning shock and revulsion over this black-belt exhibition of Instructor-level Stunt-Politicking for years to come, as their Jurassic Media poodles blind-loyally take up their customary role with eagerness and aplomb, ferociously snapping, yapping, and growling, pretending they’re much more fearsome Guardians of Forbidden Knowledge than they in fact are.

Yes, this abominable Crime Against Duh Peepul amounts to beyond-reasonable-doubt confirmation of Our Side’s genetically-instilled penchant for duplicity, guile, perfidious anti-Superstate agitation, and E-ville Moste Foule™ in the “minds” of their loathsome ilk, which imagines Normal American Whypeepuh to be nothing more nor less than the final straw which broke the back of Our Sacred Democracy© past any hope of repair or restoration.

Mark the date, folks, and believeth Ye Humble Aulde Bloggehoste when he proclaimeth unto you: these pitiful Pearls will still be weeping, wailing, and gnashing their teeth over the mountebank Ogles’ deliberately provocative and reckless H88 Crime sixty/seventy years from now, perhaps much, much longer than, even. If this latest involuntary spasm of bargain-basement histrionics—quelle horreur, quel dommage!—turns out to be insufficient impetus to goad the slope-shouldered, sunken-chested, gender-indeterminate Lefty Loser Legions (ie, pAntifa, Black Lies Murder, the ASWP, Pink Rifles, to name but a few) into taking to the streets en masse and wreaking a grownup-size dose of Duh Peepuls “Justice” upon the severely dangerous, perilously imminent menace which all intelligent, compassionate, well-meaning Leftist-Americans acknowledge the aptly-named Basket of Deplorables to be, I haven’t the vaguest clue what might do the trick.

From what I like to call the Crackpot Right.

“Better be at the front of the etc”? DUDE, hate to have to tell ya and all, but as the primary and preferred target of fanatical Mooselimb murderers everywhere, the Jews have been at the front of your notional “line” ever since the genesis of Pisslam in the late 6th century (!!)—nonstop, without hope of surcease, unless and until the Muzzrats are finally, firmly, and irrevocably brought to heel.

Now go toddle on off someplace else and boohoohoo about the loss of your beloved Ayatollah Khamenei, whydon’tcha.

You remember, this guy:

Well, Katya Sedgwick posted an excellent follow-up.

Democrats immediately threatened to censure the lawmaker citing Islamophobia. The combative MAGA Zionist might have been serious, but he did a variation on the old “the more I learn about people, the more I love my dog” joke—or was it a joke? Kiswani, on the other hand, claimed that she was joking in her original post about the canines, but was she?

Islamic cultures view dogs as unclean, and bar them from entering homes. Stray dogs are treated terribly. For instance, in 2022, the majority Arab city of Hebron in Judea offered 20 Israeli shekels for every slaughtered stray dog. Moreover, ahead of the 2030 World Cup, it was recently announced that the host nation of Morocco is planning on culling three million unsheltered pooches. An ordinary American naturally shudders just thinking about such a travesty.

There is something about this trusty animal that fills our hearts with emotion. It’s like a child, but even more so—a child who is simultaneously very useful and utterly dependent. But it will never grow up to fulfill the natural lifecycle by taking care of aging parents. In any event, a failure to defend such a vulnerable soul is felt deeply and personally.

To an American, the choice between dogs and Muslims—or Jews for that matter—is an easy one. We lived without Islam within our borders for nearly a quarter millennium. To live without dogs, on the other hand, would require a major adjustment for many American households—and an utter nightmare for the lonely and the widowed. It would require a massive rethinking of the family formation and our current standard living arrangements.

Socialist politicians argue that Americans should care for their neighbors regardless of their ethnicity, religion, immigration status, or criminal history. There is an argument to be made about that, yet the most intimate bonds are not between neighbors, but between members of a household, and those include the very first specie to be domesticated—dogs.

PREACH it, sister. Me, I’ll just content myself with a quick recap of what I already said on the topic: jihadi goat-humpers contribute nothing whatsoever of value to our country. We dont NEED them here, we don’t WANT them here, there is no place for them here, let alone in the kind of insane numbers baglapping D卐M☭CRAT scum have been forcing on us the last cpl-three decades.

Their irrational hatred for Man’s Best Friend aside, revanchist Moslems do not ennoble us, enlighten us, elevate us, or even so much as amuse us. What they DO do is curse our names for being hellbound infidels; gang rape our wives, sisters, and daughters to death; skin our beloved cats, dogs, ferrets, guinea pigs, et al, slap ‘em on the backyard Weber, and plate em up and eat em when they’re cooked through.

At some point, you can be sure that these cretinous yayhoos will visit your church, slash the pastor’s throat, bugger every male member of the Youth Choir under the age of 13 right there on the altar, make a bonfire with all the Bibles, copies of the church’s Weekly Bulletin, and hymnals, closing out the festivities by torching the building after the congregation has been securely locked inside. Once our Moslem Partners In Peace are done with the work of Allah and are starting to get restless and/or out of sorts again, they’ll blow us up, shoot our schoolkids, and drive Ryder trucks up onto crowded sidewalks and crush Grampa under its oversize wheels.

These yodelling, dress-wearing savages simply do not fit in here—never have done, never will do. They’ll patiently explain, to anyone with ears to hear, that they have no interest whatever in assimilating, in making adjustments to their own attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors so they might become better citizens in our country. Quite the contrary, actually: the plan is to convert us to the Religion Of Pieces—or failing that, subjugate and oppress us heathen dogs till we understand our proper place/. And if THAT doesn’t persuade us, maybe they’ll just say to heck with the whole hassle and put us all to the sword. Their primitive, tribal culture is not merely different from our own, it’s antithetical to it—actively, unalterably hostile to it.

Cliff’s Notes version: they hate us, our country, our way of life, and absolutely everything we stand for with a passion that burns with the heat of a thousand suns. This, they consider to be our fault and our problem, not theirs. You could try to work out this fundamental disagreement by “dialoguing” if you like, assuming you don’t mind wasting your time, breath, and energy. See, trouble with that approach is, they aren’t listening, having no interest whatsoever in any ideas they didn’t come up with.

Fine, can’t honestly say I really give a fiddler’s fuck anyhow. For all me, you Muzzie asswarts can go huddle together in some nightmarish Middle Eastern or sub-Saharan hellscape, sweltering in the stupefying desert heat, where you rightfully belong. Pick yourselves a good spot to pitch the tent, stake the family camel beside it, build a nice fire to sear the rancid meat of whatever pestiferous rodent you and your seventeen cousins captured yesterday, and y’all smelly sand niggers go have yourselves a real nice life, aiight? Just leave us dog-loving Unbelievers the fucking fuck alone. Next time you fleabitten somewhat-sentients get to thinking it might be a swell idea to start messing with us again, I strongly suggest that y’all inquire of the Iranian Mad Mullahs as to how well that worked out for them.

If you can find one who hasn’t as yet had a Tomahawk or Blue Sparrow slammed so far up his ass he can taste metal, trinitrotoluene, and solid-fuel rocket propellant on his tonsils, that is.

Love song

One of the truly great ones, performed by one of the truly great singers.

Ahh, Nat King Cole. People aways go on and on about Sinatra’s marvelous gift for phrasing, and they’re right to. But for my money, Nat King Cole could go blow-for-blow with Sinatra—hell, with anybody, actually—on any stage you’d care to name and walk out of the venue with his head held high and his self-esteem intact.

Every serious singer knows about phrasing, even those that haven’t been formally schooled in the art and just came by the ability honest, so to speak. In fact, after many long years of paying close attention to this stuff my own bad self it eventually dawned on me that the better at phrasing a singer is, the more likely it is that non-musicians will THINK he’s a good singer. In fact, even if the poor schmuck can’t carry a tune in a bucket, provided he just works a little on his breathing, his pronunciation, how the words come out of his mouth, how to best fit each word together, and I guar-on-tee you he’ll have every paying customer in the joint eating out of the palm of his hand by tthe end of the set.

Especially the hot chicks, natch.

Speaking as a trained vocalist myself, I assure you Cole’s phrasing is nothing short of doggone miraculous. In fact, listening to the man sing just about anything, really, amounts to a PhD-level course in phrasing: why it matters; the vital importance of phrasing when it comes to putting the song across; how to keep your cool and do it properly without going off the rails, etc.

Notable Quotes

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

Claire's Cabal—The Freedom Forums

FREEDOM!!!

"There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
—Daniel Webster

“When I was young I was depressed all the time. But suicide no longer seemed a possibility in my life. At my age there was very little left to kill.”
—Charles Bukowski

“A slave is one who waits for someone to come and free him.”
—Ezra Pound

“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.”
—Frank Zappa

“The right of a nation to kill a tyrant in case of necessity can no more be doubted than to hang a robber, or kill a flea.”
—John Adams

"A society of sheep must in time beget a government of wolves."
—Bertrand de Jouvenel

"It is terrible to contemplate how few politicians are hanged."
—GK Chesterton

"I predict that the Bush administration will be seen by freedom-wishing Americans a generation or two hence as the hinge on the cell door locking up our freedom. When my children are my age, they will not be free in any recognizably traditional American meaning of the word. I’d tell them to emigrate, but there’s nowhere left to go. I am left with nauseating near-conviction that I am a member of the last generation in the history of the world that is minimally truly free."
—Donald Sensing

"The only way to live free is to live unobserved."
—Etienne de la Boiete

"History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid."
—Dwight D. Eisenhower

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

"There is no better way to stamp your power on people than through the dead hand of bureaucracy. You cannot reason with paperwork."
—David Black, from Turn Left For Gibraltar

"If the laws of God and men, are therefore of no effect, when the magistracy is left at liberty to break them; and if the lusts of those who are too strong for the tribunals of justice, cannot be otherwise restrained than by sedition, tumults and war, those seditions, tumults and wars, are justified by the laws of God and man."
—John Adams

"The limits of tyranny are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress."
—Frederick Douglass

"Give me the media and I will make of any nation a herd of swine."
—Joseph Goebbels

“I hope we once again have reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There’s a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: As government expands, liberty contracts.”
—Ronald Reagan

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

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